Hi guys I am a new user to xda-developers and I am a noob still at rooting and flashing. What happened is that I had rooted my htc one x tegra 3 international version a couple of days back as i wanted CM10 Alpha 9. It did work but then I wanted to get the CM 10 Alpha 11 after flashing i don't know what happened now my boot screen is only in the CM 10 loading logo and I accidently deleted clockwork recovery (don't ask me how I am an idiot) and when i connect my usb for fastboot it gives a "no device found" error when i give any command in the command prompt and its like i cannot even do anything on my phone like flash a new recovery through fastboot or flash any rom. I mean my phone is literally not working. Can you guys tell me what to do because I have been through many threads here and none of them have helped me maybe because I am an amateur.
I really want my phone to work and I have been trying for the past 3 days and no luck at all :crying:
Thanks

Make sure you have all the correct drivers installed on your pc.
when you plug your phone in bootloader and then fastboot
it should say fastboot usb on your phone
if you have adb and fastboot it should recognise it then, you can flash recovery
try the command
fastboot getvar cid
and see if it comes back with your cid then you will know its working
failing that you can restore it back to stock using an RUU.
ive added some drivers for you.
put them in a folder on your desktop,
Go to fastboot andif your pc cannot find you a driver automatically , then go to device manager, and look for your device then right click and click update. then browse for driver manually and select the folder on your desktop, worked for me
Do You open the command prompt exactly in the folder where the adb drivers are? Left shift+ right click on the folder where the adb files are. Then "open the command prompt here".
Try to command: "fastboot devices" and look what it says

Hey thank you for the helpful reply much appreciated. The usb driver is fine as it says "My HTC" so thats fine. I relocked my phone through fastboot somehow that worked yay! But its weird the fastboot commands work but not adb is there something wrong i am doing, whenever i type any adb command it comes with "no device found error." Plus when I flashed clockwork recovery through fastboot commands it says its successful but it doesnt go there it goes back to the cm10 boot loop. Im guessing because adb is not working or something it must be because of that.

Yes with fastboot its working i get my HTC device but not with adb. Whats the difference anyway im sorry i am a noob so I dont know but I think its important to have adb working or I can't run any recovery right because with fastboot I can flash a recovery but the recovery won't start.
Adb is just a tool which allows the phone to communicate with the computer. If you have rooted your phone you must have it in your computer. It should be in place where you installed SDK drivers. SDK/platform-tools/.

Okay so I managed to get adb working too. Thanks guys but now i flashed CWM Recovery which works and tried to flash CM10 Alpha 11 but again its stuck in the CM10 loading screen. I guess I should now get my stock RUU and install that because I cannot get any custom rom to boot, am I right? That means relocking the phone and getting the stock recovery image. I need to know which stock recovery image to download is it the 1.29.401.7 or 1.29.401.11? I am pretty much guessing the 1.29.401.11 recovery image. And my stock Radio is 2.1204.135.20 which is the European model because I used to get OTA updates before I started rooting and stuff. And I need to be careful if I am doing the correct installation.

Wow thank you so much! You are a life saver I didn't know something so simple I missed out on and when I had been getting instructions from devs to flash custom roms, they didn't even tell us to even flash boot.img or maybe I was thinking it was not important. Wow thank you so much! CM 10 Alpha 11 is working properly and now I learnt a lesson to flash boot.img.
On a final note, if I want my stock RUU radio back, do I need to get boot,img from anywhere or am I fine. What is boot.img anyways?
Again, Thanks everyone I really appreciate it.

If you use Ruu.exe (Rom Update Utility) then you do not need to flash boot.img. It will return your phone to stock. Put boot.img in as well as stock recovery.

hello there everyone.
my one x is rooted and with unlocked bootloader and i am currently on HD revolution rom.
i tried to move to other ROMS (cyanogenmod to be precise) and i know that i need to flash the boot.img manually through CMD on my PC while my phone is one fastboot, but no matter what i do i cannot flash the boot.img!!!
i tried everything and it always says "error cannot load boot.img"
i even tried that CMD tool from team hex but same results!!! it always with those errors!!!!
and when i plug my phone to usb when its on fastbood mode it says failed to master usb mode or something like that, am not sure because it flashes very fast before it goes away.
please please PLEASE can anyone help me??? this thing is beyond frustrating!!!
Anyone ):
what ver of CWM recovery do u have? try doing a fastboot erase cache and reflash recovery..that might help.
make sure ur fastboot and abd files and drviers are installed, along with the htc drivers. the failed to master watever is nothing to worry about. make sure u put ur phone in fastboot usb as well

With your phone connected in Fastboot, and your cmd window open in the directory with your Fastboot.exe file, what does it say when you type 'fastboot devices' ?

I did exactly like that but it didnt work.
I dont know whats the cause of the problem because when i first unlocked the bootloader, i was able to flash boot.img without any problems, now i want to change to another rom but i cant flash the boot.img.
The thing is the first time i did it on my friend's laptop but on mine it didnt want to flash boot.img.
Could this be the reason why its misbehaving on my lap?

reinstall all the drivers and try again. happened to me once, after reinstalling htc drivers, everything was back to normal
blazed from my Viper Bitten One X
I think i managed to kill my one x. Here what i did to it.
I unlocked the bootloader with the One_X_All-In-One_Kit_v2.3. At this point i was still S ON. After that i flashed TWRP 2.6.0 and then cm-10.1-20130806-NIGHTLY-endeavoru. Unfortunately the ROm did not boot so i got smart and wiped everything in TWRP and tried the InsertCoin_ONE_X_v18.1.0_REPACK Rom.
Now my phone keeps rebooting all the time. When it boots up it just shows that there is no signal. When i try to unlock the screen i just have HTC on white background.
Would some please be so kind to tell me how to get it up and running again. I assumed that there is a stock rom which i can just flash over what i did but i figured out i was wrong
TIA

You need fastboot.exe from the android sdk and htc drivers for your phone installed (htc sync)
Reboot phone to bootloader
Open a command prompt and cd to the folder where fastboot is located
Type: fastboot flash boot boot.img (you can drag and drop the boot.img if you prefer or have it ready in the folder with fastboot)
Type: fastboot erase cache
Type: fastboot reboot
This is using the kernel (boot.img) that came with the rom you are about to or have already flashed.
Whenever I turn on my Htc one vx it goes to the htc boot logo and under it it has the words in red letterss. "This build is for development purposes only. Do not distribute outside of HTC without HTC's written permission. Failure to comply May lead to legal Action." I tried to root it but had some trouble and when i get into boot loader it says at the top tampered and unlocked. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Sorry for the late response. I don't remember too well. I watch a guide with the normal commands to root it but was stuck where it was rooted but i could not load super user. I made the mistake of trying to unroot it and then it got stuck at the screen. I think I don't have the stock rom loaded on the phone anymore but I am not sure and I don't know how to load a rom but I can easily learn. Thank you for your help

ok well if you are still unlocked fastboot flash a recovery then flash a stock rooted rom i would try ICS frist because if you have not flashed a JB RUU or the JB firmware you should still be on ICS 4.0 firmware unless you know you where on JB 4.1.2 if so install the JB stock rooted rom. to do that after you fastboot flash the recovery and have DL the rom just put the rom on a ext. SD card via PC sd card reader. also extract the boot.img from the rom and put it in the same dir. that you have adb and fastboot files. boot into recovery.Do a factory reset wipe from the recovery then install the rom for SD card. After it installs reboot to bootloader fastboot then fastboot flash the boot.img . Hint wherever you have adb fastboot files just open that dir and hold shift and right click and that will give you the option to open cmd propt in that dir. then do your fastboot flash cmd. that should do it and get you up and running again. hope it helps

When I got to flash a recovery I type "fastboot flash recovery twrprecovery.img" while my phone is plugged in while in bootloader but it just says waiting for device.

Nevermind I found the htc drivers.

No problem glad i could help.
I'm at an impasse with my HTC one. I was following the directions in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49970264#post49970264. Long story short, I now have CWM v6.0.4.7 and S-Off, but no file system whatsoever.
I have ADB connectivity when in CWM using universal USB drivers, but I can't get Fastboot to communicate to my PC viea ADB (phone says Fastboot USB, but even with the latest Sync drivers installed and Sync removed I get nothing).
I have 3 different Rom packages (Viper 5.0, ecliptic 1.3, and a debloat 4.4.2) loaded in in the SD card directory. Every time I try to flash one of these roms I get a "format() expects 5 args, got for (status 7) error". I think this is due to the version of CWM that I'm running. I think the problem will be fixed by flashing TWRP.
This brings me to my request, been googling for hours to get back to the state where I can actually communicate with my phone, and I think I have a solution, but I haven't been able to figure out how to load TWRP onto my phone with the only means of successful communication being through CWM. Any direction here would be welcome. (I read something about wrapping TWRP into an update.zip file and got a little lost)
Critical phone info:
Recovery: CWM 6.0.4.7
M7_WLV Pvt Ship S-OFF RH
CID-VZW_001
HBOOT 1.56.0000

edit: I just noticed that the HTC is showing up in my device manager as "My HTC" when in Fastboot. It's using driver version 2.0.7.23 from 11/1/2013. Still not sure why I can't talk to it in fastboot though.

Did you previously have fastboot connectivity and have not changed anything on pc. Are you using Windows 8 by any chance? I'll see if I can figure out the zip. I know you can flash with a zip in RUU mode but I have not tried a recovery zip yet.

I did have ADB connectivity in all modes. Using Windows 7 64 bit.
And a bit more info. Uninstalled the MyHTC driver and plugged the phone back int. The device showed up as "Android 1.0" when installing the drivers. Drivers successfully installed, HTC One showing up in device tree. Still no adb connectivity in fastboot.
The device shows up as Google Galaxy Nexus ADB Interface when CWM is running.
One other note, I've been running the all on my work laptop (which i just got) and noticed it's all USB 3.0 ports. Didn't realize it at first cause they weren't blue but they have the "SS" symbol (and now I know what that means). Going to try to get this up and running on my old tower PC.

Looks like there is not a way to make a zip to flash recovery via recovery.
But are you using fastboot commands like
"fastboot devices"
Or
"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
Seems like Windows 7 is loading a bad driver.

i'm using adb commands like get-serialno and fastboot commands like fastboot devices. I get no response when its in Fastboot mode, but it will respond when CWM is up. I'm currently looking into Flash_Image, but it looks like I need a binary that's specific to the one.

Since he has no Rom and no fastboot access and an old recovery that uses less mounting arguments. That is not currently an option. I guess you could try and edit the updater script just to get a booting Rom but with the HTC one I am not sure if older update binaries will work even with the right updater script.
His recovery is the latest cwm actually. The issue he is getting (status 7) is because the format of the updater script in the rom zips isn't acceptable for the recovery. See this post from Phil.

You need to find a rom that has an updated updater script. I assume the status 7 error you get is (got 4 arguments, expects 5). You also said it shows up as a galaxy when in cwm. This leads me to believe you have the wrong driver installed. http://vzw1files.dyndns.org/ADB/ADB_Drivers.zip And as you already figured out usb3 doesnt play nice with adb.

That basically was my point but I suppose it read a little different. The version of cwm doesn't accept the new format of 5 arguments. Philz and twrp do. I dont know the status of the current version of cwm but assumed they would have fixed that by now.

He could try doing like Phil suggests and try swapping the updater-binary with one from a newer Rom to see if that would make it flash.

Just installed the drivers on my old PC (w/usb 2.0) and got the SDK installed and running. I was able to get Fastboot to respond. I flashed the latest TWRP 2.6.3.3 (and 2.6.3.0) and it goes into a boot loop. I see the HTC w/red text saying it boots into recovery. Screen goes black. normal HTC boot screen comes back an boot loops to that scream. I believe a few cuss words are in order at this point. At least I'm able to flash recoveries now. Going to go try Philz and possibly go back to CWM and see if I can get an image with the correct install format.
Appreciate the help from everyone in this thread so far.
Try this before you flash the recovery use the command
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
If that dosent work, flash back to stock recovery, reboot the phone, then flash back to twrp. By the way the latest twrp is 2.6.3.4. http://vzw1files.dyndns.org/RECOVERIES/ You could also flash twrp thru RUU mode with the zip file from that site.
Just recovered my phone! I was able to install the latest Philz recovery. Unchecked the "do not use old installer" option (after getting the expected 5 got 4 arg error) and installed Ecliptic 1.3. Thank you everyone for your help!

Congrats. I figured it was a pc issue being unable to use fastboot. Glad you got your phone back.
Hello guys, I've had a problem with my phone since flashing 5.0 firmware months ago but I'm just now getting to fixing it.
I have twrp recovery and some 5.0.1 rom that was in beta awhile ago. Everytime I boot into twrp in boots right into fastboot, whatever it's called, after about 5 seconds, so I can't flash any roms, which I think is the problem since it's pretty buggy.
Another thing is that Whenever I charge the phone while it's off, it boots into bootloader and therefore stops charging. Anyway I can fix my recovery without recovery?
This is Verizon htc one m8.
Thanks guys.
Edit: tried using twrp app to reinstall recovery but it boots into bootloader instead.

Of course there's a way. Just like the way you first installed a custom recovery. I will give you instructions in case you've forgotten, or if the phone was pre-rooted when you got it.
Download the latest TWRP from here onto your PC.
When the download is finished, rename it to recovery.img and place it into your fastboot folder.
Hook up your phone to your PC, get into ADB/fastboot, and issue the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Of course there's a way. Just like the way you first installed a custom recovery. I will give you instructions in case you've forgotten, or if the phone was pre-rooted when you got it.
Download the latest TWRP from here onto your PC.
When the download is finished, rename it to recovery.img and place it into your fastboot folder.
Hook up your phone to your PC, get into ADB/fastboot, and issue the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Then when it's done fastboot reboot
You should now have a working TWRP recovery.

Had to use my brother computer and set it up since I got a mac. Thanks for your reply, and sorry for the double post, I installed via fastboot, and I can confirm the most updated version was pushed to the device, but it still goes right into fastboot after booting into recovery.img
Edit: Did that fastboot erase cache thing in the command prompt and now it works. Thanks for telling me the commands for cmd again!

Oh Crap! I forgot to add that one. :silly:Erase cache is obviously needed. Sorry.
