[Q] My HTC one X is stuck in a bootloop....help needed - HTC One X

G'day guys,
I tried to install the CM 11 Rom on my phone (HTC One X 2012 international model), i unlocked the bootloader on the Htcdev site, rooted the phone successfully,
then i rebooted in recovery using ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.4.0, made a back-up rom then wipe data/factory reset and installed CM 11 rom (cm-11-20140804-SNAPSHOT-M9-endeavoru.zip) and
it came up with Status 7 error and install aborted.....and now it's stuck in a boot loop, when i reboot it boots back into the Clockwork Mod recovery
I tried turning it off and restarting, i've ran the battery down but it still reboots in cwm recovery...
Is there anyway to fix this or have i stuffed my phone?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.....

Too old recovery you must to use TWRP6.0.1 or higer to be able to install CM11 becouse is KitKat based rom read the OP in CM11 thread and download correct TWRP or CWM. Try with this CWM6.0.4.8

Thanks, I downloaded the CWM 6.0.4.8 like you said, now i have to try and get it out of the boot loop, I've tried about 6 different sites and their methods to fix it but none of them have worked, its still stuck in recovery mode.
My phone doesnt even register when i plug it into my pc either.
Is there any advice you can give to help with this?

In the instructions it said to install the ROM and then flash the boot.img.
I didnt get past installing the rom before it bootlooped.

Tried to flash boot.img, pressed enter and it stayed on "waiting on device".
Got into bootloader on phone and even tried a factory reset and got nowhere.
Everytime i selected an option in bootloader ie. fastboot, recovery, it just reboots into recovery.

go in bootloader then select fastboot then connect the phone to computer and flash the boot.img if you don't see your device install the correct drivers for that

Hi Do you have Unlocked bootloader or not
you have to flash stock recovery to get your devices working or flash the factory image if you don't care about data / you have backup
in order to root your table you bootloader must unlocked have to install custom recovery by fastboot
and then flash Superuser or SpuerSU zip from recovery
or you can use WugFresh Tool

Unable to boot into recovery

I flashed a new rom yesterday and tried to go back and flash a kernel but I can't get into recovery. Just a black screen 705 fastboot
I installed twrp and tried reinstalling recovery but still didn't work
Ideas?

Twrp should still be there. That rom you installed probably had a incompatible kernel which is what is sending you into fastboot. If you cant get into recovery for some off the wall reason flash back to stock with a tot or kdz.
any off the wall ideas on how to get into recovery

Am I to understand this as you installed the TWRP Manager apk? Or do we read this as TWRP is the recovery you had originally installed? (Not trying to be funny here)
If the TWRP Manager was used from within the ROM, instead, use Flashify to reflash the recovery, not TWRP manager. Get the IMG file from HERE first, and tell flashify where you saved it.
If you are completely unable to boot as well as not access recovery, you will have to start from scratch. Follow THESE instructions to get back to stock and start over. (Choose Restoring Stock/Removing Root Flag)

Can't get into recovery

I installed CM 11 on my Xiaomi redmi 1s,everything was working fine except for 2 or 3 little things but a major problem occurred when I thought of flashing another ROM and now I CANT ACCESS RECOVERY MODE no matter what I try. I tried the button combination(power switch+volume up), tried adb and even tried apps like ROM Manager and, TWRP Manager and quick boot but haven't found any luck. Whenever I try to boot into recovery the phone gets stuck on the MI boot logo. I need to flash another rom and can't seem to find any other way to wipe y phone data, cache and dalvik cache and so I need help to counter this issue.
Please help me.

Flash any custom recovery via fastboot mode
Download .img format of custom recovery
Boot into fastboot mode n run this command on CMD
fastboot flash recovery <filename>.img
Filename can be anything depending on name of image file you download
Not Working for me

I am afraid this solution doesn't work for me. My thoughts are that I have somehow lost my recovery partition. I accidently installed CM 11 without first installing a custom recovery. My bad! but have yet to find a solution that works.
Try flashing a recovery using Rashr-flashtool
And boot to recovery (Vol up + Power , for 10s even after screen is on )
Solved

I solved my problem by using Flashify app but I had to use it every time as recovery would not stick. I flashed trwp and installed stock (english version) rom and stock recovery and everything is working fine again. I will not make the same mistake again. I have since installed CWM recovery through stock recovery so now I can flash roms in peace again.

I can't reflash stock recovery

Hi, yestarday I flashed CM 14 with TWRP to try it, and today I have tried to return to stock rom & recovery but I can't do it. At the beginning I have tried to flash stock recovery that I have downloaded from op.net with fastboot and I couldn't do it and after I have tried to do the same process but this time flash it with TWRP and also this time I couldn't able to fix it. In fine I have installed the stock ROM via TWRP and I managed to install it but now the problem is that I still can not install the stock recovery and accordingly I can't install op3 update.
An another problem is that I have tried to re-lock OEM from fastboot and when I try to turn on the phone, is asks me a pin to enable it and I don't know that pin because I haven't set no one

No it isn't. Because I managed to put stock ROM into it via adb with push command and after I have installed it from twrp that works. My only problem is that i can't flash stock recovery.
i have the same issue. Tried many times but i'm getting a black screen after one plus logo for both stck recovery and unmodified twrp. only moidified twrp is working. please let me know if u find a way to resolve this.
thanks in advance

you can reboot in to stock recovery without any issues?? I think I should give it a try. And you are saying the bootloader is locked again ?

Great. Can I place the file in beta8 rom .zip file and flash it using adb ??
If this procedure doesn't you can download an older version of oxygen os and update it via ota. At the first attempt when you will try it will give you an error and at the second attempt It will download all the ROM again and it will reflash by itself

I suggest you to try at the beginning with the beta 7 because if that procedure not work for you, you can't downgrade to beta 7.

Thank you.
Will let you know if it worked.
I had that problem.
Solution as follows, worked everytime for me: (I have not tried this method with the newest beta 8)
1. Flash OOS 3.2.6 firmware in twrp.
2. Reboot to fastboot and flash official oxygen os recovery downloaded from the OnePlus website. (This is still the old version for some reason, thus why it won't work)
3. Side load community build with oxygen os recovery, this will flash the new firmware back and update the recovery to be community build compatible.
4. Before rebooting erase everything (factory restore)
5. Reboot to OOS, finish setting up.
6. Turn on advance reboot in developer settings.
7. Reboot to recovery via the reboot menu. First time boot into the recovery may take sometime, but it has always worked for me.
8. After everything looks good, go ahead and OEM lock in fastboot, recovery should work as usual this time and format your phone
OP did you find a solution to this?? Im on the same boat as you

M8s stuck in bootloader

Hello everyone. I got a M8s from a friend wich is stuck in bootloader. The recovery didn't work at the begin, so I flashed twrp-recovery-2.8.6.0-m8s-qlul.img (flashing recovery using htc_fastboot.exe flash recovery theimagename.img) and it worked, then I tried to install a custom ROM Android_Pandora_Rom_1.2_(Discontinued).zip wich went all the steps fine until: Optimizing applications 8 of 204..then phone shat down to black screen. I booted back to bootloader, recovery, wiped and go for a new install, same issue.
After that, I was going to install lineage-13.0-20170715-UNOFFICIAL-m8qlul.zip where the developer of this rom recommends twrp-3.0.2-0-m8ql.img so I tried to flash it (flashing recovery using htc_fastboot.exe flash recovery theimagename.img), then tried to acces recovery, brings me back to bootloader so fast, rebooted bootloader, tried again, same problem. Tried the fasboot erase cache, no help.
The Hboot state is Unlocked and the S is ON. I tried some other recovery images, as stock_signed or 3.0.1, tried the one from M8 ToolKit but all failed and I still can't access recovery, everyting I do, it brings me back to bootloader. I did htc_fastboot boot recoveryfile.img wich works, but useless, the dd if= method to set the recovery permanent load did not work after reboot, /data and /system can't be mountet, it seems the "boot recovery" option is 99% readonly.
Any advice, any help please? It would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Hi McBad,
you could try the following. I also had some problems to access the recovery.
- Again bring the phone into fastboot, flash the 2.8 recovery and access it
- Do a wipe for factory reset, not just only cache
- after that try to flash the twrp-3.0.1-0-m8ql.img version, the other one worked for me neither
- the try to install the custom ROM LOS13
I hope this will help you.

It would be great if that would work, but flashing a recovery does not work. I flash it, success message, try to access it, vibrates and bootloader pops back instantly. That is the problem.
Sorry for double post, but can anyone help me with this? This is the second day I struggle to make it work. Any chance to make the hboot locked again? It didn't work with oem lock command. I would like to lock it so I can put an official zip on sdcard so the hboot to restore it to factory stock, some RUU. Or get it s-off so I can flash a rom from fastboot? The phone does not have any ROM on it, image crc results system 0x0, recovery 0x0. Please, help!
Have you tried sideloading twrp ?

Did you use HTC fastboot ?
Yes, I used htc_fastboot. Use sideloading? Like boot the img file directly? Tried that too.

Is there any way you could flash twrp 2.8 again? Once in that recovery you have sideloading option which you could use to transfer latest recovery onto your device. Are we talking about the same process?

You can't install lineage if you haven't upgraded your device with latest official update. I would try reinstaling twrp 2.8, do a wipe of cache, dalvik cache and system, Sideload CM 12; and see how it goes. As well, while in twrp I would try relocking bootloader but only after an unsuccessful attempt to flash said rom. I don't know what your experience with soft bricked devices is, but sometimes it takes a while, different usb cable or usb slot on your PC, correct files in adb folder, re-download of rom or recovery because it easily gets corrupted while downloading. And obviously a fully charged device. Let us know how it goes.
