[Q] One x keeps rebooting after installing kernel

Please help!
I`ve installed a stock kernel because the previous kernel wasn't working well, but now my phone keeps rebooting.
It starts up and after the "htc one x" logo is showed it reboots.
This is the kernel I've installed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1692404&page=2
And I'm using a stock ROM (1.29)
I'm sorry for asking, but I'm not that experienced with loading kernels so I'm a little stressed out that I've bricked my phone or something..
Can someone please ~give advise?

did u flash the modules?
sent from my CHARRED ONE X~ and click THANKS if I helped.

There are essentially three steps to flashing a new kernel:
Flash the new kernel using fastboot flash boot filename.img
Erase cache using fastboot erase cache
Reboot into recovery and push the new kernel's modules by installing the .ZIP file from your device's SD card.

Tnx for your reply man!
Only now I have a different problem..
My phone doesn't start at al!!
I had to work today so I left my phone on the charger all day, to try your method tonight.
When I tried to start it up the only thing I get is the red led blinking a few times and thats it..
When I left my phone on the charger last night it looked like it was charging (red led burning continuously).
Anyone any ideas what's the problem now? (and how to fix of course )
-update 5 min later: now I don't even get the red led blinking anymore )
-update another 5 min later: strangely enough the led blinks again

In the meantime I'm back in the bootloader! :good:
What now?
Can you really simply explain how to flash the boot.img?
I dont understand how it works exactly..
Sorry for being so ignorant, but if I was foreseeing this sh*t I would never have touched my kernel
thanks in advance!

1. download boot.img and modules zip from the link
2. copy boot.img to fastboot folder.
3. open cmd, cd to where your fastboot folder is and then type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
4. boot phone into recovery, mount USB storage and copy modules zip to your phone
5. unmounts USB storage and install modules zip from recovery menu
6. reboot phone and it should boot

So I've booted my phone in the bootloader en then selected fastboot. Then I leave it there and open the CMD on my pc
The boot.img is in the my downloads folder.
So in CMD I should type: C:\Users\Jan\Downloads>fastboot flash boot boot.img
And than it says that the command is not recognized...
to be more specific, it says: fastboot is not recognized as internal or external command, program or batchfile

you copy the boot.img to the same folder that the fastboot files are in
Edit: you should really READ the INSTRUCTIONS before you act. if you unlocked your bootloader to do some modding, which you would have HAD TO DOWNLOAD THE FASTBOOT FILES AND PERFORM THE FASTBOOT COMMANDS FROM WITHIN THE FASTBOOT DIRECTORY

Yeah I know.. I'm stupid as hell and I have learned a lot. I thought I knew enough, but apparently not..
But now I want my phone to work again, so excuse me for asking, but where are my fastboot files?
I've unlocked my bootloader using the method on this site:
http://onexroot.com/one-x-root/how-to-root-one-x/
But when I copy boot.img in the folder that guy uses (foldername: oneXRoot) the cmd 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' still fails.
I feel really bad, but I really hope you guys can have mercy and patience with me...

the fastboot.exe is in the OneXRoot folder
open cmd, cd to that folder and then run the fastboot command:
cd c:\users\jan\downloads\onexroot
fastboot flash boot boot.img
As shown in the attached image. Sorry if we sound rude, but as I have found out in the last day or so..... there are just some people that don't read instructions, and/or don't understand what they are doing (when all info that they need is in the Rom-dev section)

In other terms. You have to have your boot.img in the same folder as where your adb and fastboot files are
To check if your on the right track, ctrl+rightclick on a blabk space in a folder and select "open command window here" then type fastboot?

Thanks for al your help you guys, but now I know what's really wrong with my phone.
I've a wrong version of clockworkmod installed. In this version the usb storage function doesn't work, so I can't place a new ROM on my phone.
I wanted to install a working version of clockwork, but now my battery is drained! (at least below 30%) :crying:
I tried to load the battery, but that doesn't work anymore.
Anyone some ideas?

Download the 5.8.4.0 recovery. I think that's the fixed one.
Go to bootloader and fastboot usb thrn flash the recovery there.

I tried and it started promising but I got the message that my battery is too low:
sending 'recovery' (5742 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.748s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: battery low)
finished. total time: 0.958s
The main problem is to charge my phone to at least 30%, but I don't know how.

Try turning the phone off via hboot and putting it on charge for a while

of course i tried that already... But somehow it doesn't charge anymore.
Can't figure out why.

I had the same problem but it does charge the led won't light up as the software to control it is corrupted charge for awhile then try again. I managed to boot mine into clockwork recovery and hook it to pc to charge it

Also tried that already, but also in clockwork it doesn't charge..
Hate it that the one x has got a build in battery
I really don't have a clue what to do now. The only thing I need is a charged battery, but it looks like theres no way to charge it
I'm not gonna buy a new phone because my battery is empty

dont worry when your phone is completely out of juice you will be able to charge it... happened to me while i was stuck in bootloader myself...

yeah I know, there has to be a way, but the only question is how?
I'm thinking of opening up my phone and charge it with a power supply.
Back in the days with my old HD2 it would be easy...

[Q] Update for ONE X

Hey everyone
My htc one x is asking me for an update, and I'm wondering if I can update it and still keep the Root?
Bcuz I've tried to update it, and it gave me a notice that something went wrong while trying to install the update.
* I've a rooted phone.

From what I've seen on youtube it won't

Root should not interfere the update, is your rom 100% stock (no bloatware or apps removed?)
If you are on a custom recovery, you have to flash back the stock recovery. The update will not run on a custom recovery !

Ahaa.
Yea but how can I put on the stock recovery?!

fastboot getvar version-main
Take the first bit, like 2.17 and search for the recovery here, then
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

You have to flash it with fastboot command.
What is your software number ? Is it 2.17 android 4.0.4 ?
If yes then download this file
http://db.tt/U5CK4noo
Rename it to recovery.img and copy it in the fastboot folder on the pc
Then put the phone in fastboot usb mode and open a command prompt inside the fastboot folder on the pc and type
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
After this you boot back into the O.S. and update again

What he means is, that you have to have tools first. But you don't need whole Android SDK. Download this and extract it in Documents folder for example. (there shouldn't be spaces in path to the folder, afaik)

Then run command line in folder "Win32" (shift+right click on blank space in folder > Open command window here). Then you can run the provided commands

Just wondering for later, do I understand correctly then that if I have removed some bloatware, even if I return to stock recovery I will not be able to recieve OTAs?
Tangentially - any recommendations on the best way to know if particular bloatware apps are safe/unsafe to remove (how deeply are these apps built into the ROM?)

Yes need original recovery for install update

The minute you reflashed the custom recovery you make a NANDROID BACKUP ! After that you can do what you want. When the phone needs to be updated you restore the nandroid backup and the stock recovery and you will be able to update the official way
And yes you are right, if you remove any bloatware or system apps the phone will not update !

[Q] HTC One X Possibly Bricked

Hi all,
I think my friend and i bricked his phone last night.
Its the HTC one x and we used the Hasoon2000 method. I think the problem was the perm root part of the software said unable to connect to device.
I searched around and someone said to flash supersu and that should do it. However after flashing that we did a backup of the phone in clockwork recovery.
We then tried flashing the viperX rom which we did on another one X and worked fine, it got to 1% and restarted. It then stuck at the quietly brilliant page.
We can't get it to boot into recovery but can get it to go to the bootloader. We tried to do the fastboot command from the PC to erase fastboot cache but it couldnt connect to the device.
I have read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1764421 and but it is about the AT&T version, what recovery image would i need?
Also how can i tell if it is hard bricked or soft bricked? As i'm worried it could be hard bricked cause i couldnt erase the fastboot cache.
Any help is appreciated, and sorry if this is answered somewhere else but i couldnt see an answer.

Bit more bootloader info:
Unlocked
S-On
Hboot 1.39.0000
If possible i'd like to help my friend finish rooting it but if its easier put it back to normal.
Again thanks if anyone can help me.

What does the bootloader say, EVITA or ENDEAVORU ?

It says endeavoru

Then stay away from the HTC one XL forum, its a different phone !!!
Do you have the HTC drivers installed and a folder on the pc with the fastboot files ?
Place these files in a folder like this
http://db.tt/ldx3qOOU
C:\fastboot\files i gave you
Then put the phone in the bootloader and open a command prompt inside the fastboot folder on the pc and type
Fastboot devices

Just connected it to my laptop and the pc said fastboot drivers installed and made the noise of a device connecting and disconnecting.
Haven't tried what you said yet as it said battery is too low on the bootloader. I've now plugged it in a plug socket and have it on the htc quietly brilliant screen. I take it this should still charge it?

Is it possible for you to turn the phone off?
IF so it should charge a bit quicker that way
Also just to clarify, how did you try to install Viper X on your phone?

Hmm no, if its bootlooping then yes. Is the bootloader unkocked and do you have a custom recovery installed yet ?
In case you have a custom recovery installed put the phone in the recovery it will charge the batt in there .....
Otherwise put the phone in the bootloader and run this file from within the fastboot folder
http://db.tt/aLqeTpPO
It will continuously reboot the phone and charge it little by little, leave it like this for an hour or so.

No, if i go into bootloader and fastboot then power down it turns itself back on if its plugged in.

The bootloader says unlocked, and we had CWM recovery installed it no longer loads up, it just reboots itself.
I'm confused by what you mean, what command would i use to run that file from the fastboot folder and after doing that do you mean i should leave it charging from the laptop?
Link to image of the bootloader if this helps - http://imgbin.org/index.php?page=image&id=11217

Just connect the phone to the pc and put the phone in the bootloader then execute the .bat file from the fastboot folder (download it and move it in there)
It should start rebooting the phone over and over again.
Edit : I see fastboot usb in the bootloader that's good ! :thumbup:
We need to get the batt charged so we can reflash the recovery, that will probably solve it all.

Ok this is working. It doesn't say about low battery anymore on the bootloader. But ill leave it charging for a bit. What is my next step?

Next step is to reflash the recovery, download this one

Rename it to recovery.img and Copy the file in the fastboot folder. Put the phone in the bootloader again and flash the recovery
All these commands are executed from the command prompt inside the fastboot folder.

Then enter the recovery by pressing hboot one time (confirm with powerbutton) then press recovery

YES! That has worked, we are in recovery. What can i do now? Should i try flashing ViperX or is the phone not permarooted?
Last time i tried to do permroot with the Hasoon2000 tool. That didnt work and i just flashed superSU, i think i must be missing something.
Thanks so much for your help!

If you do this, you will be good. Maybe you van skip some steps because you already did them before but I mention them anyway
Download the viper x JB rom, open it with an unpack program and copy the boot.img and place it in the fastboot folder. Copy the rom.zip to the phone (mount as usb drive in the mounts & storage part of the recovery)
Now put the phone back in the bootloader and flash the boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash boot boot img
Fastboot erase cache
Enter the recovery again and do a full wipe , also wipe the dalvik cache under the advanced tab. Then install the rom.zip with the
Install zip from sdcard menu !
Install the viper and choose in the aroma installer of the rom FULL WIPE and the question you get about the custom kernel you answer with NO !
Don't worry about root, the rom is standard rooted

To do the OTA you need to flash the official recovery do the ota and then reflash twrp. No need to lock the bootloader.

Hello,
ok i thought i would give you a quick rundown of what im doing
1 - i unlocked the bootloader and flashed using the tools on here
2 - i received the software update via OTA
3 - however because i have unlocked and flashed it just loads the recovery option
so basically i want to remove the unlock and flash as per step 1 above
thanks

You don't need to relock the bootloader to be able to update, what you need is stock rom (the way it came out of the box) root is no problem but if you removed bloatware the update will fail. You also need the stock recovery and the stock kernel.

Open the command window on the pc inside the fastboot folder and type
Fastboot erase cache (enter)
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (enter) - do i enter Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img or do i enter Fastboot flash recovery (file path) then recovery.img?

and when i got to the folder containing the fastboot, i double click fastboot and a cmd window appears then disappears straight away, however if i open the HTC application and the select bootloader the cmd window stays

Ah oke, what you must do is, go with the windows explorer to the folder, point the mouse in the folder, hold shift and right click the mouse. Then select open command window here......you will see a dosprompt and there you must enter the commands

[Q] HELP HELP Upgrading hboot gone bad

Hi Everyone,
I was trying to install the vemon viper x 3.3.6 (Im kind of new to flashing rom onto phones) onto my htc one x and had to update my hboot from 0.98 to 1.31 which i did with JBW tool and worked perfect and i unlocked my bootloader again but wen i was finished unlocking my bootloader i accendently factory reset my phone so it removed the vemon viper x 3.3.6 zip folder off my phone and cant run my old rom which is the vemon viper x 2.7 as it isnt a jellybean rom. So when i start my phone it loads the rom but doesn't boot. All i can get into is my hboot. My htc one x is s-on as well. Please any help would be great.

Flash a recovery, mount usb storage, copy rom to phone and flash it.

I flashed clockworkmod recovery onto my phone but i cant get into my phone to use the usb storage option to copy the rom onto my phone.

enter the bootloader by pressing volume - and the power button together as long as you are in the bootloader, do not let go before that.....then navigate to HBOOT - RECOVERY. it boots to recovery and activate the mount as mass storage device in the mounts and storage section (if you have CWM) if you get an error by doing that i suggest you flash the latest CWM recovery 5.8.4.0 first. older ones dont have this option !

That notification is normal, we all have that due to the usb cable being connected !
Did you install the rom with the cable connected ? That's a no go......always install a rom without the usb connected ! First put the phone into the bootloader, hold power and volume - until you are in. Then the fastboot command
Fastboot erase cache
From this point you disconnect the cable. enter the recovery and re-install the viper rom again.
You did flash the boot.img from the rom right ?

It couldn't fastboot the boot.img file so decided to install it from recovery i see now that was a bit of a mistake. I will " fastboot erase cache" and fastboot the boot.img. Hope for the best

You need to flash the boot.img file just like a recovery . Boot.img file in the fastboot folder
In the command window
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then unhook the cable
Enter recovery and install the rom. And for the kernel question you answer with option 1.viper x delivered !

I have one last big problem, my phone is on a boot loop after trying to install my rom from recovery and the battery is too low so it wont allow me to flash anything onto my phone. What can i do???

can you still enter the recovery ? if so....put the phone in the recovery and put it on the wallcharger, then you select 1 time REBOOT RECOVERY and let it sit there. it will charge up !

Yes put the phone in the bootloader and put this script in the fastboot folder. Open a command window there and type
Batt script.bat
http://db.tt/aLqeTpPO
It will continuesly reboot the bootloader and charge the phone little by little ! Until you got some power and can acces the custom recovery to charge it more !
If it does not work, remove the space in batt script.bat so it says battscript.bat .....

I am going to sound very stupid. Could you give me the exact line of command to use if the fastboot folder is saved in the local storage on the computer (c: drive), i dont want to do more damage then i have.:silly:

Example when the fastboot files are in
C:\fastboot\the fastboot files
Then you copy that battscript into that folder
Then you navigate to that folder and hold down shift and right click the mouse inside that folder, then choose "open command prompt here"
In that command prompt you type
Battscript.bat (hit enter)
And the phone should start rebooting.
If the fastboot folder is somewhere else you repeat my steps only change folder that i used.....

The file worked perfectly just opened it in the fastboot files and left it run all night. Then fastboot erase cache and the recovery is back up and running just have to flash the boot.img and phone up and running. Thanks for your help.

No problem. Glad its sorted !
