HTC One X : The Disaster Fix

Hye XDAs members..I want to share my experience with you..
I have been through with a lot of trouble since I made something, kinda stupid with my phone..
The 'disaster', than I mention on the title is, when:
1. I have made full wipe
2. No ROM on sdcard (forgot to place it!)
3. I can't restore my nandroid backup due to md5 mismatch error!
4. Bootloop
So with that problem, means that I can't open my sdcard to place any ROM in it. Bootloop is not a big issue here, but the real deal was I can't have the access to my sdcard. Then the trouble begin when I can't boot, and stuck on HTC boot screen.
This was what I have done, to recover my phone. Hope I can help someone out there that having the same problem as I am. I have access to fastboot, so:
1. I flash a custom recovery, in my case I chose ClockwordMod Touch Recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594819
fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
2. After that, I put in these command to made my sdcard opened:
adb devices
adb shell
echo /dev/block/mmcblk0p14 > /sys/devices/platform/fsl-tegra-udc/gadget/lun0/file
3. The sdcard was opened successfully! I copied my choice of custom ROM, which was Charmeleon v5.0.0, to the sdcard. I also copied Super Wipe script from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562603
4. After that I go to fastboot, flash the kernel, and went back straight to the recovery. I flashed the Super Wipe script, and then I flashed the ROM, reboot.
5. Finally I have my phone fully functioning again!
This tutorial was done in Windows 7. I have tried this on Windows 8 but unfortunately Windows 8 failed to recognize the commands due to lack of HTC drivers support. I haven't tried it on Ubuntu, yet.
Before you make everything, make sure you have charge you battery fully!
So I hope this thread here will be able to help somebody. Finally thanks to everybody here. Have a good day mates!

Why would anybody use the adb commands to copy anything to the SD card, it is already included/enabled (mount -->mount USB memory-->done) in the new recovery

I will definitely DO THAT, if I can..in my case, I CAN'T..
That is why I wrote this, for those who can't..I don't know what is wrong with cwm, but because of that error, I have to do all of that command..

What can cause that:
1. You didnt instal the latest CWM
2. You didnt mount the right thing ...
3. You have bad drivers ...
But it is most probably the first one...

I have install the latest CWM..I think it was caused by the Windows 8, that didn't support HTC drivers..I tried this on my wife laptop which is powered by Windows 7, and wal-lah, the drivers installed successfully..Windows 8 Release Preview still need some final touch before it goes to the market..I love Windows 8, but have to stick with Windows 7 after this case happened to me..
I don't really care if I haven't flash the latest CMW, what I do care is about people out there who have the same problem as I am..I just wanted to help them, and myself..

My thoughts exactly.
That supports the theory above that the incorrect CWM was installed.
The previous versions couldn't mount the USB Storage, but as of the latest CWM, you can.
While that was a cool trick, I think installing the lastest CWM recovery image would have solved a lot of these issues from the get-go

Recovery
Hello,
After the fastboot command did you then reboot into recovery?
Once in recovery, my windows XP does not see any device attached. Should I see a device attached while in recovery?
If I should, where can I get this driver? I tried installing PDA.net to get this, but still there is no device found, and so no way to use ADB.
I'm stuck because I have to send system modules after sending a boot.img, but there is no way.
Edit: Ahh I fixed this by updating my CWM from 5.8.3.1 to 5.8.4.0!

You need to push the correct boot.IMG via fastboot before you flash the Rom that's usually cause of bootloop plus not clearing cache

You have to flash the kernel of your ROM from bootloader..
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
Then try to restore your backup..

Hi, sure way for me to install recovery it`s just put your recovery image in adb folder placed preferred in main drive, in my case disk c:, rename recovery with this name to simplify operation and reboot your device to fastboot mode (pressing vol- and pwr and open a terminal windows in your pc with right click mouse and shift at same moment, write to verify device is recogniced; fastboot devices, then write; fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. At second chance you have a tool flasher that works ever for me https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi...-xiaomi-twrp-flasher-mauronofrio-win-t3405207

I've read that upgrading to the beta can re-lock your bootloader. So, first check if your bootloader is locked, and if so just unlock using the same process as before. Your Mi Account should still have unlock privileges

can you upload your last screenie? did you try with tool in the link posted?

Check if your bootloader status is indeed unlocked, some rom & using miflash can let your bootloader relock again.
Use
fastboot oem device-info
in adb command to check

used the tool it works but i dont have the twrp password and wont even boot back up to normal ????

No, password is just to decrypt data, don`t worry for that, just slide and go on, if you loosed your data, do a format data to decrypt and never more twrp will ask for password

Go to recovery again with hw keys, don`t worry for password, just xiaomi knows, it`s not relevant, when ask for just slide and go main menu, format data (only data) and mount system, then reboot normally. I don`t know if factory reset probably you delete your system, if this is so flash again rom and then supersu

The trick is to hold vol up and vol down plus power button if your usb is connected. Wait till it sais rebooting. If no USB connected just vol up and power.

I'm facing the same problem

- Boot phone normally
- Connect USB Cable
- Enable USB Debugging
(Make sure adb is installed, and you pressed "Yes" when device asked for allowing adb on your PC)
- type in cmd: adb reboot recovery
This should boot your device into TWRP. Works for me.
