can you install custom recovery?
this is new but use this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=971245
all the data in my phone are gone. is there still a need for custom recovery? and what do i do after custom recovery?
all the info you need is in this thread including custom recovery. After the custom recovery is done you shall beableto try out any of the ROMs listed there. follow the instructions to the letter.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901247
oh, the key combo to access your custom rom(once it is done) is Home+Volume Down+Power Button It even gives you the option to connect in usb mode so you can put the ROM you want and then disable usb mode and go back to main menu then choose flash from zip.

i've tried reading all the guides. the problem is, i don't understand lots of things for example, partition the SD card.
1.Partition SDcard (swap: 0, ext: 512), ext2-ext3, then ext3-ext4 it.
i understand the (swap: 0, ext: 512) part, but not the rest. sorry. im a beginner at these
all those options are available to you in the custom recovery. choose partition card.
you will need to download Android SDK from this site

Hey
Yea i did something stupid , never mind how.
Basically i tried installing CM 10.1 , messed up really bad beacause i got stuck in the boot logo etc etc.
Now i "somehow" wiped my internal storage and have no way to install a ROM , tried connecting via USB but nothing helps cannot seem to get my htc one x + detected.
So basically phones pretty messed up and unusable atm , need help
Thank You.
Yes i can boot into recovery.
It's a long shot, but try entering.download mode. Recovery is pretty much useless without a rom already on the internal memory

Okay listen
No worries mate, calm down
I've been in the same situation! But I had relocked my bootloader at this point - haha -.-
1. First of all, download haason's toolkit (THANKS!) http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1994961
2. Download a proper recovery (Thanks Lloir!) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1995002
3. Get your ROM (I prefer ViperX+ Rom with Elite Kernel(Thanks to Team Venom and nik3r))
4. Run the .exe from haason's and install the HTC Drivers, this is important! (You're propably better of rebooting your PC)
5. Reboot into bootloader, connect it with Fastboot-USB!
6. Flash the new recovery!
7. Reboot Phone into recovery.
8. Now select advanced - and then ADB-Sideload
9. Go into haason's toolkit and choose from extra (bottom, right corner) "ADB-Sideload"
10. Choose your ROM
11. See what happens

Is your device detected?
Don't worrie if the command promp say "no device detected", close that windows and the toolkit will ask you for the ROM you wnat to Sideload.
Did you get to that point?
Have you been able to flash the new recovery?
That would mean, that your system already detected the phone

For future notice Hansoons tool kit us typically worthless in these cases (and most others). You need to install the LATEST SDK from Google and run commands out of the "platform-tools" folder. As far as drivers go, you need to install the latest version of HTC sync and then plug the phone into the computer before ever modifying the phone.

1.Dowoad the file from the link below.
2. Then download Clockwork Mod Custom Recovery.
3. Then boot into recovery mode, and choose "install from SD Card".
4. Choose Clockwork mod recovery.zip, and it will boot you into a different recovery.
5. From that recovery mode you should be able to flash .zip files without signature verification.
6. Choose install zip from SD Card and choose SU Installer.zip.
Note:To unroot just flash SU Uninstaller.zip the same way you did to flash Installer.zip.

I just got this phone (already rooted) and am trying to flash the new b009 rom with cwm 6.047
; I tried to load the zip file I downloaded by choosing to install it from SD card (internal storage).
But for some reason, the rom does not get installed. Do I have to rename the rom or have to place it somewhere? Or do I need to unzip it?
Please let me know. Help would be much appreciated!!
no need to use CWM recovery. Flashing is native ont this device. See:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/hua...-3-320-dpi-t2923860/post57253214#post57253214
or
https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=3280093&view=findpost&p=69086974
(end of post)
BUT custom recovery may deny this possibility. So you'll have to go back to stock recovery, or maybe find another way to apply the .zip files (maybe via fastboot? Let us know if you find out)

I figured this out myself. Problem solved! Thanks for your reply, though.
But for some reason, I cannot root this device. Even if my phone goes to USB debugging mode, rooting apps - root genius, iroot, kingo root do not recognize it. It says USB debugging mode is turned off. Any advice?
Between, what is the use of cwm if there is no custom rom available?

for the USB debugging issue:
1) test with different cables and PC USB ports.
2) reinstall drivers on your PC, and test.
3) install adb, and test with the "adb devices" command
to root:
if still no usb debugging mode, try out the iroot app directly on your androphone:

The only custom ROM are official-ROM-based (like KangVIP, look for it in this forum), absolutly not the same custom than a CWM or Omi .
so i was trying to put google experience and when trying to install twrp it wouldnt show up on my phone, so i decided to flash phone with adb and put custom rom with adb. i failed and now im left with no os and stuck in fastboot (before saying **** i have no idea what im doing its my first time doing this)

Ok, you need a PC and adb tools installed.
Download the stock and follow this video (click on the word "video" to visit the video) after installing the ADB tools on your PC.
okay ill try it
After you install ADB on your computer, plug your phone into your computer and run "adb devices". It might take a bit for the command to list your phone as it has to start the ADB server first. Once you see it, copy the full filepath of your stock ROM, and run "adb push ROMLOCATION /sdcard/"
