This happened to me as well I think. I have an AT&T version of the HTC One X+
I can't seem to install a rom. Loading hboot gives a failed to open usb master mode error. Using adb push D:\rom.zip /data/ succeeds, but the rom.zip is nowhere to be found in /data/. Using Hasoon's all in one toolkit abd sideloader function, or booting into recovery and typing adb sideloader D:\rom.zip fails, as it gives the adb instructions list.
This happened when I used Hasoon's all in one toolkit to unlock my bootloader, flash twrp, flash the blade boot.img and wipe my phone according to the instructions found in this tread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2027304).
Please help. Can't use my phone at all.

Hello, I rooted and used this method to root and install recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1690919
Then I installed Mean ROM and everything went smoothly.
I tried installing a kernel:

and then I tried this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1800399
Both of them say they installed, but when I open Antutu CPU Master, I cannot overclock, I even went on the settings and about phone and it looked like the kernel was still the same.
Is there a specific method in which to flash the kernel?
Can someone help?
Thanks
I believe that you have to be S-OFF (preferred) or HTC Dev Unlocked to flash kernels successfully.
Also, if you took the latest OTA, you're now on a version of hboot, which doesn't allow flashing kernels.

If you are on the new H-boot, you cannot flash kernels from recovery. Simple as that.
You can fastboot flash them. Theres a thread about it in the general section. I'd suggest reading up on it

I dont have anything installed on my computer at all and am completely new to this.
If your using TWRP 2.2.1 then maybe you can use the HTC Dumlock to flash kernels? I'm S-off so I don't have to use it.

Here are the instructions for flashing a kernel on the latest hboot:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1794867
You basically just need to flash the entire boot image instead of just the kernel. I know there is an an Enoch boot image available in the official thread, not sure about Evilz.
To do a fastboot flash you'll need the sdk installed. There is a good how to video here if you've never done it before:

Might be able to flash using Flash Imgae GUI.
Edit: Nvm. premo15's first link talks about using it.
I tried Flash Image GUI, but it messed up my rom, now I keep getting a Reboot Loop on the HTC Screen with the Developer Warning.
I then tried to clear all data and install the Mean Rom again, and when I do, it says that the ROM is installed in the Recovery, but When it boots, it goes back to the Reboot Loop.
Can someone Please Help me!

You have to extract the boot.img from mean rom and use fastboot to install it. premo15's first link also talked about using fastboot to install. If you want to install a custom kernel then just take the boot.img out of the fashable zip and use fastboot.
Okay,
I got ADB to Work, but whenever I do an ADB Command, such as adb reboot bootloader. It says Device Not Found, I installed the appropriate drivers and it also makes a device connected sound when I plug in the phone. When I open device manager, it shows all drivers installed.

You can type in adb devices to show connected devices. Make sure Android debugging is on in Settings -> Developer Options.
My Phone will not Boot at all. I cannot Enable ADB Debugging, I can go to the Bootloader Menu or the Recovery Menu.
I pressed fastboot and enabled fastboot-usb, and it made a connecting noise, but with adb, it will say phone not found

Try going into recovery from the bootloader and then try the "adb devices" command. I've noticed that I can't issue adb commands while in fastboot also...not sure why. If you can get it to display your device while in recovery, then you know your communication is good. Go back into fastboot and you should be able to do the "fastboot flash boot" command, but rebooting with the adb command will not work for some reason. After you flash the boot image, there should be an option to reboot on your phone that you can select with the volume keys.

You can flash cwm through adb. Adb might be buggy through recovery it was at first. I'd post on the twrp thread to see if a someone has an idea

I had this problem myself today and started freaking out. After a brief 15 second panic attack I realized I could side load. I have twrp and sideloaded very easily.
I used the all in on toolkit listed in the android dev section and cleanrom 1.5. I put cleanrom on my desktop and renamed it to Rom.zip. I started the aio tool which has a button for sideloading a Rom. Boot the phone into recovery and plug it into your pc. (I am assuming you have the HTC drivers installed) From TWRP click on advance and the adb sideload. Then click the side load button on the aio tool. This will attempt to reboot your phone first but since you're already there just close the command prompt that comes up. A new window will come up for you to chose the zip. Navigate to your desktop and pick the zip you put on the desktop (longer paths seem to cause issue with sideloading). Then it will push the zip to your phone. The command prompt on your pc will have a percentage progress. Once done just flash that zip like normal.
I had to reboot my phone using the volume down power button method before I could get back to twrp and the install froze once in Aroma. But I just flashed it again and it worked. Once I got it back I just put my backup back on the phone, booted back to twrp, and restored my backup.
Sorry if this seems unorganized, had two toddlers crawling all over me while. typing. Using the AIO should work

I'm working on rooting my very first android phone for the very first time, and I've run across a snag. I've been following Luckythirteen's guide to rooting found here, but so far I've been unable to flash the TWRP recovery. Here's what I posted in the original thread:
Help! I've followed the steps to the T, but I'm struggling with installing the recovery. I've unlocked my bootloader, downloaded the TWRPrecovery.img, put it in the right folder. As soon as I boot into the bootloader, my phone seems to disconnect from the computer. I still have fastboot usb selected, but my device no longer shows up under adb devices. When I try to >fastboot flash recovery TWRPrecovery.img, I get an error "error: cannot load 'TWRPrecovery.img' : Unknown error"
I've got the international HOX+ and a computer running Win7. Any assistance in the matter would be super appreciated.
I hope I've provided enough information for someone to help me out here. I'm a complete Android beginner so this is all a little overwhelming. Thanks.
It is normal that your device does not show using "under adb devices" when in fastboot. You have to use "fastboot devices" instead. Try and see if your dive shows up there.
Also did you try redownloading the recovery.img and/or reinstallung HTC Drivers?

Hey, thanks for the reply. You're right, I did end up finding it under fastboot devices, but it still wouldn't work. Since then I've tried flashing a recovery using the all in one kit found in this, and adb shows that the flash was successful, however when I select recovery under the HBOOT menu, it just shuts off my phone, and when I power up again it reboots normally. Any idea what's up now?

The adb command window shows the flashing process just like the images in the initial tutorial. I've tried reinstalling the drivers a few times now, would it show me the device under fastboot devices if my drivers weren't working? I tried the latest TWRP, 2.5.0.0. Sorry for double-posting, I wasn't aware you were the same guy from the other thread!

I must admit to my embarrassment that yes, it turns out I was trying to flash the wrong recovery (HOX instead of HOX+) and now I feel like an idiot, but I've finally gotten it to work, and I'm finally rooted! Thanks so much!
Here is a simple, easy guide to install a custom recovery and root your device after achieving S-Off using the RevOne method.
**Moonshine installs all the SU/busybox binaries needed for root. So if you merely want a custom recovery you can follow this guide up to Step 7.**
Takes less than 5 minutes and is really easy. First, go to one of these threads and download either classic or touch CWM CWM Recovery or TWRP if you so prefer TWRP Recovery
Step 1. Rename recovery file recovery.img *Note: If using Win7 or 8 it hides known file extensions by default. Take care to not rename the file to "recovery.img.img"*
Step 2. Move file to your folder containing fastboot.exe on your computer
Step 3. Make sure phone is plugged in to USB port and USB debugging is turned on.
Step 4. Open a command prompt and type in: adb devices
Step 5. If device is listed type: adb reboot bootloader
Step 6. Using the command prompt, cd to the directory that has your fastboot.exe and recovery file *example: cd C:\sdk\
Step 7. Once in the bootloader type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Step 8. If everything goes as it should, the recovery should be installed. On the bootloader screen you are currently on navigate to and select the BOOTLOADER option. Once it takes you to the new screen, navigate to and select RECOVERY
Step 9. Once it boots into recovery, select reboot now. It will prompt you to root the device. Select Yes.
Step 10. Phone will reboot. You now have a custom recovery and are rooted. Go to the play store and download either SuperUser or SuperSU. I prefer SuperSU, but it is entirely up to you.

Enjoy!!
Really nice guide. Thanks for writing this. It's also exactly the same steps one would use for TWRP, if someone is wondering about that. Just use the TWRP file and rename to recovery.img.

I've done this a 100 times but for some reason I'm getting the error "error: cannot load 'recovery.img'".
What's going on?
I did the RevOne method yesterday.
Edit, it happened with both CWM and TWRP.
After the RevOne method, my phone says **UNLOCKED** and S-Off, however is it possible that I'm not Unlocked?
Edit 2, what's really weird is that last night, I used the "All-in-one Toolkit" to flash the TWRP recovery and it worked just fine. I'm actually in the TWRP recovery right now. And then once I rebooted from recovery, it did NOT ask me to root/install SU.

Do you use Win7 or 8? By default it hides known file extensions. So if you renamed it to "recovery.img" it might actually be "recovery.img.img".
Also I believe the all in one kit installs the SU binaries for you... I wouldn't know as I don't use one clicks or kits.

Try booting in fastboot mode and see - I guess it will connect,
Although I am not an expert, but I think USB Debugging comes into play after ROM is booted...
Also, as per your signature, your kernel is:

Are you sure you have the correct kernel - just for a check install the kernel that came with the ROM. AFAIK the ATT kernel is experimental...

If you just check a thread I have started I had the same problem. Here is what I did:
While on Fastboot - used hasoon's tool kit to re unlock the boot loader. It failed a few times but then it ultimately succeeded. You need to be on either hboot or fastboot to unlock the bootloader not in recovery....
BTW have you actually tried the toolkit?
Hope you have the unlock_code.bin in root of the toolkit...

I am assuming you have installed the hTC drivers. Using hTC Sync or other method?

If it is showing as unknown device then you may try Koush's universal ADB driver.

I'll look into all of those and get back to you tomorrow about my results
Don't use toolkits they cause more issues than they solve.... Connect your device to your PC, open a command prompt, navigate to your fastboot folder and type in "fastboot devices" If it gives you back your devices S/N, your good to go. If not reinstall HTC Sync manager.... I don't see why you can't enable usb debugging on a bootloader locked device though....They have nothing to do with each other afaik....
