Correction2:
Flashed back to stom rom, and will install root again today, this was really frustrating. I guess it just isn't going to happen.
Correction, after many tries, it did react to the button combo. I formatted everything from CWM and reflashed the first rom. Now there's only a wifi problem. It simply does NOT turn on wifi, ever. From the notification bar it turns off right away, from the settings-wifi screen it turns on and keeps saying turning on wifi.
What now? Since this rom now works, I don't really want to go to another rom to fix wifi.
Also we just noticed the sim is not detected! It doesn't ask for pincode, can't call or anything.
I have a GSM One X+ and I wanted to flash a new rom.
What I did was unlock the bootloader via HTC dev, flashed CWM, flashed the SU zip, and it booted into the stock rom fine. However, wifi stopped working.
To fix the wifi problem, I first tried this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044584
That booted, but still wifi problem.
Then flashed this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2068901
From CWM, I could not find the way to go to bootloader (to flash boot.img) so I used voldown+lock to restart and go into bootloader to flash the boot.img
That didn't work, got a error every single time (cannot load boot.img unknown error)
I'm 100% sure I did it the correct way, however at that point I could not enable USB debugging yet because android hasn't started in the new rom at that point.
So I went to bootloader and tried flashing the boot.img many times, but it just kept giving errors. The rom wouldn't boot either.
Then I tried re-flashing the first rom, because that booted at first.
That first rom is now stock at the bootscreen, and it doesn't do anything, it doesn't react to voldown+lock either.
What to do now? Can't pull battery and button combos don't work either.
When you are in bootloader, can you write what is written right under *** UNLOCKED *** ?

It is a phone of a friend, he was here 4 hours while I tried everything.I rooted at least 5 phones and installed roms on them so I expected it to work. However there were so many problems we gave up.
We reinstalled the stock rom, and re-rooted.
First rom didn't have any wifi,
Second rom didn't boot because I couldn't flash the boot.img even manually.
At random times, the phone didn't react to ANY input, not even hard restart.
So we gave up. He is now back to stock+root. Might try again some time, when there are better stable roms with included boot.img files.

There is plenty of stable ROMs available. Probably you didn't pick the right phone version. Can you confirm how the phone is identified by EVITARE_UL or ENRC2B?

Tuesday night I loaded CM7, and then the Market wouldn't update my apps so I decided I would restore BAMF 1.5. After doing so, the Market just gave me "Fails" trying to update, and I could not access recovery, as I was going to do a complete wipe and reflash. Most of Wednesday, an extremely helpful & knowledgable member, Mattgyver83, tried diligently to help me rectify the situation, but to no avail. We tried to Fastboot, tried flash_image, tried fix permissions...shoot, I practically wore out adb..anyway, I ended up reverting back to stock and unrooted. I used jcase's method to revert back to stock, and that was painless, and successful. I decided last night to try rooting again, thinking a fresh root would solve my issue of not being able to access recovery. Root was successful, but I still cannot access recovery, through rom manager, or through bootloader. When I attempt it my Tbolt goes to white HTC screen, and stays there. All functions of my phone now work, and all aspects of root work, except I cannot flash anything. Rom manager shows I have clockwork recovery, but I just can't get to it.
Sorry for the long ramble. If anyone has had this issue, or if anyone knows a fix, I would appreciate it. Otherwise, I wait for Gingerbread.
Thanks
Happened to me with CM7 builds. For some reason they were erasing the recovery. Just have to reflash the recovery in Rom Manager and you'll be all set in the future.
do what i do pull batt leave out for a min, then put the batt back in and connect usb right away.

I'm stabbing in the dark at this, but this did work for me with my Droid...
I had a similar issue with my Droid. Someone recommended that I flash recovery multiple times before trying to reboot. The comments were basically that you need to flash recovery 3-5x until the flashing process is a mere few short seconds. Evidently that is an indication that the flash has occurred correctly.
Ie. Flash recovery and wait until the confirmation pop-up/message only takes a few seconds to pop up. If the message takes longer than 5 seconds or so, re-flash recovery and repeat until the confirmation comes up quickly.
This sounded retarded to me, but I was at the end of my rope so I tried it. It worked like a charm.

Thanks, but that didn't work. I think something in my os got lost when I restored BAMF from CM7.
Yea I spent a good few hours yesterday trying to help Orio out and we attempted a ton of things to try and fix the recovery issue, this post should offer a bit more insight to the methods used, this is running off memory;
adb reboot recovery failed
Reinstall latest Rom Manager apk and Flash CWM
flash latest rom manager via fastboot (CWM only)
(fastboot flash recovery /sdcard/recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.5.img)
**did not do fastboot erase recovery first**
"return to stock safely and properly" XDAthread by jcase
return to stock image [RUU], reroot, try again
try to boot into recovery via hboot
manually installed fix_permissions.sh script and busybox on rooted stock, ran.. didnt fix
tried to see if flash_image method would work, didn't
All of the above have failed and we basically tried almost all combinations. Not once would this phone get back into recovery, even after flashing the appropriate RUUs which include either stock android or CWM recovery. The only thing we have not currently attempted which might be the last thing left is to do is manually install the nandroid.sh script and do an advanced restore of the recovery image only from a nandroid backup on SD. I would rather not go down this method as it could have an undesired result, I have done it to restore a G1 back in the day but not 100% if its gonna work on a tbolt. Thankfully his phone boots, and we can get into hboot, but yea.. pretend recovery just doesnt exist at all...
Curious if anyone has any knowledge above what we have already tried.

I recall the same thing and its a good thought however that was mostly a generic error due to a CWM update and CM6 (I think) but either way flashing an RUU should override this shortcoming and im pretty sure that issue was worked out in CWM as well.
Not to be rude, but I don't think this question belongs in the development section.

do you still have the P zip file for the radio (baseband) on your SD card? if you do....try to delete it...then hold power and volume down button down....then see if you can get into recovery....
probably not going to work...but it is worth a try......

Thanks, but no, I deleted that after loading it. I actually reverted back to stock/unrooted last night and rerooted and the problem still remains. It's quite strange.
maybe i missed it if someone suggested this but what about flashing an older version of CWM?

That is what I was going to suggest. In ROM Manager at the very bottom try and flash an older version.

SUCCESS !!!
I fixed it !
Apparently, when I loaded up cm7, files showed up about the same time on my sdcard in clockworkmod download file. I deleted those files, and reflashed clockworkmod in rom manager, (which this time took like 3 - 4 minutes), and rebooted into recovery and it worked...did it again, just in case it was a fluke and it worked.
All is well now...the planets are realigned !!!
Thanks everyone for your ideas and especially thanks to mattgyver83 who helped me for something like 4 hours yesterday. Exceptional kindness !!
mods...you can close this thread.
GREAT NEWS!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!
THANKS FOR REPORTING BACK!
This may help out other members with the same problem!!
now go ahead and start playing with your T-BOLT again!
That's a very odd solution. My first two things to try would have been:
1) fastboot:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery C:\some\local\path\recovery.img
You can't, well, probably shouldn't, flash a recovery from the /sdcard. When in fastboot mode I don't think the sdcard is even mounted. Either way, I think fastboot needs the img file on the local file system.
2) Create a PG05IMG.zip file with the recovery.img file in it, and flash that through HBOOT. Although this should have been done in some form or fashion when you downgraded or re-rooted, so YMMV.
Hey all,
Running CM 10.1 Wild For The Night and I noticed my WiFi had disconnected. When I went to the WiFi settings, the toggle was greyed out and the screen was stuck on 'turning Wifi on'. I rebooted and the screen was still stuck. I wiped Dalvik and cache, and when I rebooted, WiFi was off. I tried turning it back on and the same situation happened. Completely wiped and reflashed, same problem. Today I flashed a new ROM (MiUi 3.2.8), same problems persist. Im on HBOOT 1.5 S-ON (I know, I know). WiFi did work before with the ROM for at least a week. Is it possible the WiFi chip is borked?

Your kernel isn't flashing properly so the WiFi driver doesn't match.
To get things back in sync start your recovery with the following fastboot command:
fastboot boot recovery.img

Once booted into recovery wipe all partitions except SD card and make sure SmartFlash (S-ON) is disabled in the tools menu if using 4EXT. Then flash the entire ROM as you normally would, except this time the boot partition (kernel) will be flashed from recovery because of the way it was started.

Thanks for the reply! Just tried it. It's been a long time since I've messed with ADB and fastboot. I booted the device into whatever the white screen thing that isn't recovery is called (ha ha), performed the fastboot command from the folder I saved it in on my computer, ran the command, and it booted into the 4ext. I disabled Smartflash, wiped everything, and flashed, and now its hanging on the boot screen.

What ROM are you flashing? Some people had problems booting ICS Sense ROM's with hboot 1.5 and S-ON. I never had that problem myself, but if you want to stay on hboot 1.5 and not go for S-OFF it might be worth it to relock your bootloader and flash the 2.17.651.5 RUU to make sure everything is in sync. Flashing the stock ROM will also let you confirm whether your Wi-Fi is working or not.
You'd really be better off going for S-OFF and I have a guide that can help here.

Ah, okay I got MIUI 3.2.8 to bot using the fastboot recovery method. Still having the WiFi issue. I've never messed with logcats before, how would I go about posting the relevant bit of text from this enormous jumble that happened when I ran adb logcat?

I think that ROM might be having WiFi issues per this post by DH.
You could try flashing the Sense version of the Mac kernel after the ROM is flashed and that might fix it.

Hm. I had terrible data connectivity on MIUI so I'm back on CM10.1. The things that lead me to believe the problems are deeper than kernel/ROM are
1. The issue happened abruptly. After using CM10.1 for a week or so with no wifi issues, suddenly this happened. Not even after a reboot, it just happened.
2. Its happening on multiple ROMs with full wipes and stuff in between.
Would a logcat not be helpful in diagnosing the issue? I just don't know much about them. Do I need to connect my phone via USB and then attempt to recreate the problem in order for the correct info to be in the log? As I said before, I can't get my wifi to turn off without wiping cache and dalvik, even after a reboot its still giving me the 'turning wifi on' message.

You're best bet is probably to flash the 2.17.651.5 GB RUU at this point and check your WiFi in a stock configuration since not everyone is having these problems. You will need to relock your bootloader before flashing the RUU, then unlock and re-flash your recovery afterwards, but you can use the unlock .bin file you have already.

Everything you need should be in mpgrimm2's guide.
Once you relock and flash the RUU you can boot into the stock ROM and test WiFi. If everything checks out you can root your phone the way you did the first time, or take it to Sprint for a replacement if it doesn't work.

Awesome, thanks!
dude, just make it easy on you ...
flash any ics sense 3.6 rom from fastboot and it is going to get your wifi going.
you'd be stuck here until you are s-off ... so no fancy roms for you, sorry~
I can confirm
I'm using the same rom, miui walking dead ICS... Tried to flash it a couple of times.
Seems when turning the wifi toggle off, the whole networking in android locks up. It'll do this on it's own if you have wifi set to disable on sleep. I am running S-OFF Hboot 1.58, and what's really interesting is dropping to terminal and running, netcfg, you get nothing. It locks up as well, and trying to run ifconfig wlan0 down/up gives you nothing. Ctrl-C to cancel doesn't respond either. I don't see anything in logcat, so I think it's a kernel issue.
Normally, you can drop to terminal and su, then 'shutdown -h now' and have the phone shut off within a second or two, but once the wifi locks, it won't shut down, restart, anything. You have to pull the battery. Once the battery is pulled, and you boot back up, wifi will be toggled off, and you can toggle it back on fine, at least in my experience so far.
I'd really be interested in what digitalhigh says, but I can't post on the developer forum yet. :|
Ok so here's the deal...
I was running ViperRez ROM and decided it was time for a change and found a few ROMs I wanted to check out. Tried EclipticRez, kept force closing and rebooting before or just after I could finish the phone set up. Tried Nils Business, no luck. So finally tried to load MIUI for ICS and ran into trouble.
Each time before loading these ROMs I used Clean Wipe to wipe before loading the ROM. I am S-on. Unlocked. HBOOT- 2.11
So here's where my trouble is... Normally when a ROM fails to work, I'd simply reboot into recovery, wipe, and load a different rom via zip from SD card. The problem I'm having, besides the ROM not loading and getting stuck on the HTC flash screen is, I cant get into recovery. I can reboot into the bootloader screen, get to fastboot. When I try to select recovery the phone goes black, flashes something quickly on the lower part of the screen with CWM recovery looking logo, then reboots and sticks on the HTC white screen. Another issue, my battery will no longer charge via phone charger, so I had to go out and buy a battery charger today to even get my phone running again since all this drained the battery.
I've flashed the PH98IMG, removed it since it was causing me to constantly reflash it and reboot. Removed the boot img from the MIUI ROM and placed it in the root of my SD card, seemed to do nothing. I've also tried to use abd, although I'm not really sure how to use it, basically tried to follow a few different threads, but when I typed adb devices, the list was always blank.
Can anyone help me to either get this MIUI ROM working or at least get me back into recovery so I can re-load ViperRez that I know was working? I am no expert, so please give detailed instructions if you can. Thanks in advance.

your are s-on you need to extract the boot.img from the zip. go to fastboot and make sure it says fastboot usb
fastboot flash boot boot.img
that will flash the kernel that you need. the ph98img you only need if you are trying to make firmware changes. everything else can be run from the computer.
Also, make sure you are flashing 3.04 roms. Viperrez i think never updated to the global . If you are flashing global roms, you HAVE to do the firmware update.

I kinda understand what you are saying, but the other problem I have is.... When running adb my phone is not listed in the adb devices, although it is listed in the usb devices. Not sure what to do about that.
Are you in charge only mode on the phone?
Is usb debugging enabled?
USB debugging was selected prior to this incident and it was on charge only as well. It was not connected as a usb drive. I cannot get into the settings of the phone to find out what it is now or if its changed.
I would suggest going S-Off, it will make flashing a whole lot easier. As for getting back to a usable state, you should be able to flash a PH98IMG in bootloader. If anything, flash an RUU and go from there.
Sorry I'm a noob at all of this. Successfully rooted my phone today thanks to Honsoon2000's excellent tutorial and toolkit. Then I went to install Android Revolution, which appeared to go successfully and then after I flashed the kernel the phone wouldn't load and just hangs at the quietly brilliant screen. I followed Honsoon's tutorial to the T (or so I thought) and everything went perfectly until right at the end when I flashed the kernel. I can make it back to the bootloader screen though it says "failed to load usb master mode". I can still make it into fastboot and recovery mode...tried recovery, and the process seemed to go sucessfully, but the phone still wouldn't load after...tried reinstalling ARHD-- it's still on the sd card and the install procedure still goes off without a hitch, but the phone still won't load. I've searched around and tried everything I can, to no avail. Any help would be muchly appreciated, and I apologize in advance for being a noob wasting people's time.
Edit: For example, when I follow the steps outlined in the FAQ it asks me to enter the command 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' , but when I do it says 'error: cannot load boot.img'.
Edit 2: So I put my boot.img file from Android Revolution into the data directory of the rooting toolkit and was able to complete the above flashboot command. I was also able to install the ROM off my SD card...however the phone still hangs on the Quietly Brilliant screen...I can't even power the phone down...whenever I try it just reboots...frustrating...really hoping someone can help me...cheers.
Before you begin, make sure that the drivers for the One X+ are installed.
Place the boot image being used on the computer's hard drive.
Boot in to recovery and flash the ROM.
When that is done, boot in to bootloader and connect the phone to the PC via a USB cable.
If the phone isn't in fastboot mode already, use the volume keys to highlight the word "fastboot", then press the power button.
Now, there should be text at the bootloader screen that says "Fastboot USB".
Finally, use the toolkit or command line and flash the kernel with the fastboot command.
This should successfully flash the ROM and the kernel. Make sure you full wipe before flashing a new ROM. If you can't seem to get the new ROM booting, the final choice is to relock the bootloader and run a RUU.
Which phone version you do own? International or AT&T / TELUS?
Did you flashed the correspondant boot.img? Did you cleared the cache? ( fastboot erase cache)
I'm trying to run an RUU but it keeps saying the battery isn't charged enough to flash anything...and this after it's been plugged in all day. Oh dear I think my phone might be done...really sucks :/
Also, it won't let me power the phone down-- every time i try it shuts the phone off briefly and then opens back up to the bootloader screen.
Fixed thanks to sarcasticphoenix. Cheers.
OK so I've tried 3 times to flash a new ROM onto my phone (Android Revolution twice and Eleganzia once) using Honsoon's toolkit...I've followed every instruction to the T as far as I can tell and all 3 times the process has gone perfectly right until the end when I flash the kernel...after that when I reboot the phone it just hangs at the Quietly Brilliant screen. I know how to relock the bootloader, flash the custom rom and get my phone back...but I really want to know what I'm doing wrong so I can install a custom ROM. I know I'm using the right ROM for my phone and am wondering what gives. Being driven crazy here...any ideas what's going wrong here would be helpful. BTW on the last attempt right after I finished and the phone hung I went into the boot loader and followed the instructions in the FAQ for fixing a bootloop...still nothing.
Edit: Solved my problem-- I managed to successfully load eleganzia...the only thing i did differently the last time was flash the kernel BEFORE installing the ROM off the SD card.

Which kernel are you referring too? Actually there is one or two kernels available but only for the International version, not the AT&T/TELUS which you seem to have.
I strongly suspect that your boot looping was because you didn't flash the boot.img file correctly or not at all. And you don't seem to install the good ROM version for your phone.
Elegancia has two ROM versions one for International and one for AT&T/TELUS users.
ARHD is for International users.
Please read Q12 of the FAQ.

Lol...yeah I don`t know how I missed that. I ended up getting elegancia successfully flashed and loaded so all is well. In retrospect this was a good experience because there`s nothing like having to get yourself unforked from a bad situation to gain an understanding of what`s going on. Cheers.
I have a couple questions and since I`m not allowed to post yet in the elegancia thread I'll try in this thread first:
1) An elegancia question: Is there a way (widget) to toggle data roaming on and off in this ROM?
2) Is there a way to tweak settings (transparent pull down, selection of launcher etc.) without wiping and reflashing the ROM?
3) What are people's favorite launcher for that ROM? I tried Atom but it was just a guess because I hadn't heard of any of them. I like it so far but am curious about the others.
So ,im sorry but its a long story. Hopefully someone can help. My note is Rooted Ive been using TWRP. Everything had been fine until 2 days ago. I tried flashing a ROM i found on Goomanger.( I had been running liquid smooth) just wanted to try something different. Anyways it got stuck on a boot loop. Cant remember the name of the Rom. Anyways i was able to get back to recovery, thankfully. But when i wiped and flashed back to liquid smooth it would say optimizing apps, then it would reach a certain number then reboot and star all over again. So then i tried another Rom and the same thing happened. tried flashing back to stock rooted but it would turn on then completely crash and star booting up again. So finally i was able to flash paraandroid 4.1.2 and Gapps, but here is the kicker i have no service (AT&T) says cannot locate network, my IMEI is gone basically the cellular isn't working. Everything else works fine WiFi,apps, camera. Just cant make calls. I really need your guys help please.:crying:
If you have a suggestion please let me know, i hate using an old Iphone

Just odin back to stock. Get a complete factory stock image from the main sticky thread and flash it with Odin and Download Mode. There's a bug on one of the TWRP versions with 4.3-based ROMs that will put it into a bootloop by breaking device reboots. I was unable to flash my way out of the problem and was forced to do a complete reimage which solved all the problems and put me right back to clean-out-of-the-box state, then I reinstalled TWRP (though an older version before the boot loop bug) and re-flashed my custom ROM. The package I used was the stock image and Odin tool all in one .exe, just plug in to download mode and run it and it flashed bootloader, recovery, system, kernel, etc. all back to stock.

Thanks thats what i did, I just basically had to use KIES to use the emergency recovery, then root my phone again. My question is what version of TWRP causes this? cause i used the newest version i could find off GOO. My other concerne is, will it accept or be safe to use a custom ROM? Well i gues ill find out :laugh: THANKS AGAIN!
Everyone with the sgh-i717 is having problems with the latest TWRP and the most stable version is 2.5.0.0. Go with that one or you'll be starting all over again I imagine. And don't just stop at the download link in the OP's, read the thread and find out what's going on. The problems with TWRP have been going on for a while and the development threads have a lot of comments about the latest build causing problems. Good luck! :good:
