Download this, put it in your fastboot directory, rename it to recovery.img, then on your command line, enter...
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
This will live boot a recovery for the play, this is when you flash JBX.
Just to be safe, do the following after getting into recovery.
*Wipe Data/Factory Reset
*Wipe Cache Partition
*Wipe Dalvik Cache
*Format /system
*Install JBX
*Power off phone and enter fastboot mode
*Flash Supervenom Kernel
*Boot into recovery using the method I gave you
*Wipe Data, Cache, Dalvik Cache
*Boot into phone
For JBX, I think you were supposed to flash the rom first, then the kernel, but you're guaranteed to run the recovery with this method. That's why I never use the recoveries that come with kernels.

[Q] [Xperia S] CM10 status 7

I'm trying to flash cm into my device but i'm keep getting "status 7".
Could someone tell me how I am fixing it.
I would also appreciate if someone could pm me a very detailed guide on how to flash cm. I wasn't so sure so I googled for it and the guides i found didn't say the same. I need to know what files to download, or what to install (like cwm) etc.
Thanks in advance

Install instructions:
first time
- power off the phone:

- fastboot reboot
- enter recovery, on boot led will be violet for 3'', during this period press vol+

Also Check if the /System if mounted before flashing the zip. Everything should be fine...

how do i format /system? i've seen all the other commands but not this, maybe i just missed it....
and what do i wipe after gapps? data/factory? dalvik cache?
Flash stock rom first, the reflash CM10. If the problem persist, than go into the zip of the rom and delete the getprop line from the updater-script.
That all.
how do i format /system?

in recovery - mounts and storage
- format /system

Code:
set.prop ro.build.product LT26i
from adb shell

Please help, no internet

Hi, I have a big problem. I tried to flash new ROM to my ONE X, everything went great, I can connect to Wi-Fi, but I can't reach any of webpages. All other programs doesn't work on internet too.
This ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2027029
And I was using this guide: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-unlock-root-install-a-custom-rom-on-your-htc-one-x/
I don't know what to do How can I get back to original Android version? I thought my battery life with this ROM will be better, bet no internet..Please help
Sure you performed a full wipe before you installed the rom and flashed the boot.img via fastboot ?
Which recovery did you use, type and version number please ?

Thank you for fast answer. Yes I'm sure I did full wipe before flashing boot.img
I am sorry, I'm not so good at this. Where I can find type and version number?
Usually inside the recovery. But we can try it over 1 more time, maybe it helps
Flash this recovery (rename to recovery.img)
https://www.dropbox.com/s/yqzlpqo8illa53j/Philz recovery 5.15.9.img
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Flash the boot.img from the rom :
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Disconnect the usb cable and enter the recovery, perform a full wipe :
Factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced-wipe dalvik cache
Mounts & storage-format cache, data and system
Now install the rom.zip and reboot
Check if it's fine now, or maybe reset your router once.....
OMG, you're the best!! Thank you so much! Working! :good:
Nice !
CASE CLOSED !

Bricked?

Im in desperate need of help.
My one X randomly locked up and on a hard reboot (held power button) it now no longer boots to CM, instead it boot loops.
On booting to recovery (CWM) I was presented with a black screen. So using fastboot I was able to flash TWRP 2.4.0.0 and successfully boot to it.
It opens with a password prompt to which I can click cancel and get to the options. This is where it complains things get complicated :/
If I try to wipe anything:
E: error unable to mount '/cache'
It will do the same with /data and /system.
adb sideload so far has failed me,
failed to write data 'protocol fault (no status)'
It seems once one attempt fails the phone seems to go into some locked status until the battery is fully drained and recharged. Which makes everything so long and tedious to troubleshoot.
adb push cm.zip /sdcard returns an error. But this is all in vain as I have cm10.1 on the /sdcard but twrp fails to flash it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Ive been without internets at work for days now :crying:
bump.
Update your twrp to latest 2.7 or whatever its near the top in development thread. Then fastboot erase cache, flash boot image for desired ROM fastboot erase cache, boot to recovery flash ROM then gapps, wipe davlic and cache, enjoy..

Brilliant mate. There was an option in 2.7 to repair the partitions. I had to set /data back to ext4 (even though it said it already was) then repair the partition, and voila. Its all working again

Can't delete a rom (CM11) to install new one

****edit: It appears that the option "format /system" which is tucked away in a sub menu did the trick and erased the rom.
I am trying to completely delete a rom I have installed which is CyanogenMod 11 but it seems to stay no matter what, or I'm not doing it right.
First I go into recovery with the power+vol down and choosing recovery.
I have ClockworkMod 5.8.1.5.
From there I choose the wipe data/factory reset and also the wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache.
Then I choose the install zip from sd card to install Blackout_ICS_Incredible_v4.0.zip
After following the installer instructions and rebooting it goes back to CM11...
Any ideas how to wipe CM11 from my device?
Thanks :good:

Try formatting with fastboot.
Boot your device into fastboot and type these commands
Code:
fastboot devices
Just to be sure ur devic is connected
Code:
fastboot format system
Code:
fastboot format data
Code:
fastboot format boot
If the above doesnt work, susbtitute
Code:
format
with
Code:
erase
4EXT Recovery 1.0.0.6 R2
try changing the recovery via bootloader, download latest 4ext recovery zip then rename it to PD98IMG and place it to your root directory of your sdcard. Then go into bootloader it will automatically detect zip file and will ask you for update, press volume up to start the update, reboot and your done. After flashing new recovery go into recovery and then wipe/format from there format all partitions except sd card. When done go back to main menu and select info to see the free space/size of all partitions.
Device: HTC Desire HD
ROM: CM11 M8.1
Recovery: 4EXT 1.0.0.6 R3 build 8

Are these steps correct to flash custom rom in 2020?

-type 'fastboot reboot'
-reboot to recovery using phone
-copy gapps & custom rom to phone
-wipe system, data, dalvik, cache

I am currently on MIUI Global 9.5.19.0 with locked bootloader.
Is this method correct? I dont know which guide is outdated right now and which is not. Sorry if this is asked too many times.
Yes this is correct but i want to make some changes in your guide
1. Use orange fox recovery as it is better than twrp and it won't give u any error which u may encounter using twrp.
2. U can use fastboot boot *recovery* to push recovery file and flash its zip after entering recovery (it doesn't need any kind of dummy file flash)
3. Wiping vendor is also there
Thank you
oh ok so basically these are the edited steps to follow now:
-use miunlock to unlock bootloader
-put phone on fastboot mode
-boot twrp using 'fastboot boot XYZ.img'
-flash orange fox zip from twrp
-reboot to orange fox recovery from twrp
-wipe system, data, dalvik, cache, vendor
-flash latest firmware
-flash custom rom
-flash gapps
-flash magisk
-reboot
correct?
thanks a lot btw!
? correct and u can use 9.4.25 firmware as it is best (atleast for me)
Should I follow the same procedure if my phone is on 11.0.3.0?

Now most of the customs support the new pie firmware.
1. Unlock bootloader.
2. Reboot to bootloader
3. Boot to orangefox recovery using
fastboot boot recoveryname.img
4. Copy the orangefoxrecovery.img(extract the orangefox zip) to device storage using the booted orangefox in step 3.
5. Flash orangefox permanently from the copied img file using the booted recovery.
4. If you are planning to use miui don't reboot without flashing magisk. It may reset the recovery to default miui recovery.
6. Enjoy flashing custom roms after wiping(not formating) system, data, cache, vendor etc. No need to format data if you need file ssystem encryption. Formating data from recovery will remove encryption.

Orange fox recovery has aggressive stock recovery deactivation so magisk is not necessary
