So I have a Telus version of the HTC One X+ 64GB. I have been pretty familiar with flashing roms on samsungs. Wasn't the case so much with the HTC. So I decided to unlock boot loader, root, and flash a custom recovery. Decided to flash this rom from this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219520 not understanding how the boot.img works well guess what I didn't flash that. Now I'm stuck on the Panandriod 3+ boot logo. The phone from my understanding don't seem to wanna charge. Just gets a slow blinking red notification light. When I was able to get into recovery when the battery had charge I was unable to get the ad card to mount so I could add the boot.img to the phone to get fast boot to flash it. I have all the drivers installed on the PC but unsure if maybe the reason that recovery is unable to mount is because of HTC Sync is installed on the PC as well?
The whole reason for trying to flash a rom on this HTC is because I have the HTC One Developer Edition on the way and I wanted to learn as much about flashing HTC as I could so I wouldn't mess up and brick my HTC One when it came. Nowwwww I'm not so confident.
Two days research I have a little more knowledge but still unable to find a good thread or resource to fix this problem. I was able to get some charge thru to the phone when I selected recovery and it went to a black screen with the notification light pulsing red. It seems like its not fully bricked. I tried to use Cmd in windows to try and communicate and see if he phone would respond to the fast boot commands but to no lunch Cmd cannot find the phone. Do anyone know where I could start? Is there a tool kit that can send me back to stock? It was running 4.1.1 any help in the right direction would be great. Thank you guys.
You HAVE to flash the boot.img! Flash it in fastboot
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Without the new boot.img (which is the kernel) your Rom will not run.
Download the pizza boot.img

Hey thanks for replying
I downloaded the pizza boot.img but the issue I'm facing is charging it seems either very very slow on black screen or maybe it's not charging? But main issue is that PC cannot find the One X+ I will try this command but where do I place the pizza boot.img on windows?
The only thing is getting me is I'm getting the sound from windows when you connect a device when I plug the phone in USB but the cmd so far that I have tried even the All in one toolkit don't seem to see that the phone is connect USB in fast boot or boot loader mode. Think this is due to not enough charge? Plus should I just leave it in custom recovery to charge which is a black screen due to it says not enough charge to flash to charge my device?

I can hardly believe you didn't find anything that help you with this issue on this forum.
First is your SDK/ADB tool install on your computer?
It's not that complicated to flash the boot.img. Take the pizza boot.img and put it in your platform-folder of your SDk tool. Reboot your phone by holding Volume down and pressing Power button. In bootloader plug in your USB cable and at the prompt confirm that your computer is seen by typing this >fastboot devices if you have your serial confirmation then simply proceed with this at the prompt>fastboot flash boot insert_pizza_name_boot.img (enter) again at the prompt>fastboot erase cache (enter) the for rebooting >fastboot reboot (enter)
If you need more infos, you have everything required in my signature to help you.
Do you have the latest TWRP

Thanks Lucky, I noticed tonight I went thru everything in issues and I noticed that I didn't correctly have SDK set up right on my windows. Hopefully that this is the issue and that when I set it up right that I can fix this problem. This has been far different then Samsung to fix hahaha thanks again and kinda my bad for posting the question. But hopefully that works.

No I don't have TWRP I have the recover that came in the noob tool kit. The none touch screen one lol. But I understand a fair bit on what I should have done. I'm gonna try and follow luckies link for the SDK set up and see if I can send the zip file to the phone then flash it in recovery. Just I hope the thing can charge. I had it on the charger for 4 hours today and it still said that there was not enough charge to flash I tried charging it in the boot loop and in recovery.
So I guess the issue is worse. The phone won't charge at all the red notification light blinks red but it don't seem to be charging at all I have looked for fixes and it says flash latest compatible recovery but it won't even discover the phone connected to windows with proper HTC drivers installed
Is your phone capable of booting in bootloader mode?

Yea I am able Lucky. But what I tried today was to get RUU to recognize the phone to do that but no go. So tomorrow I'm gonna do a fresh reinstall on a new laptop of windows and install drivers again and all that. But as for boot loader mode it boots. I click recovery and I get a black screen. I can fast boot USB but I'm not quite sure about USB debugging is still turned on. If it where I'm sure I wouldn't have an issue with the PC not seeing the phone connected.
OK try this in bootloader mode with the USB plug
fasboot devices
Do you have a confirmation serial number?
Will do Lucky. Thanks for your time and patience. I will try this over the night. I really like to try and get this fixed and to understand how the htc works with installing roms and tweaks. I really don't wanna mess up my Develeper Edition of the HTC One that's on the way.
If you have your serial confirmation.
Download this recovery HERE
Move this file in your platform-tools folder
Press and hold the Shift key and right click on a empty space of that folder and select Open Command Window Here
In the command window with your phone in FASTBOOT USB mode
Type>fastboot flash recovery TWRP2500.img
(Success)
Type again>fastboot erase cache
(Success)
Unplug your USB cable
Hit one time Power
Select Recovery (Volume down)
Hit Power to Reboot in Recovery
Phone should charge in recovery even if the red light doesn't lit.
Just tried this on my phone with less than 10% and it worked flawlessly, after ~10 minutes my phone was at 13%+
Otherwise you will have to create a batch file and run it while your phone is in FASTBOOT USB mode :
Code:
" @echo off
:start
fastboot getvar battery-voltage
fastboot reboot-bootloader
ping /n 6 localhost >nul
goto start
"
That should allow your phone to charge to the minimal required to flash or to re-unlock your bootloader.

Well, I have a problem, my EVO doesn't boot, I was first on meanrom and made a nandroid backup(system and boot), after that I wanted to install MIUI, so I flashed with flash GUI, all worked fine in the ROM, but after I wanted go back to meanrom I went to recovery, nandroid menu, cleared caches and restore partitions(I always do the same if the ROM I have don't like me), but for my surprise, phone doesn't boot, it shows the HTC white screen and after that just shows a black screen, the phone isn't turned off, it seems like a dimmed black screen. I tried to run adb to flash the boot.img but the pc doesn't recognize the device, I tried to restore only the boot partition in recovery and install meanrom again(ROM i had before) with no luck. I don't know what to do, any suggestions? Oh, I'm on hboot 1.5
You need to also wipe data when flashing a rom with a different base or boot.img. What I would do is boot recovery through adb and flash ROM/kernel from there.

Yes install HTC sync for our phone and after it installs you need to uninstall it. This will install the drivers for our phone. You need to make sure usb debugging is enabled and plug your into your pc. It should work now.

you dont try and do it from adb then... go to your bootloader screen by holding volume down and then the power button.....select fastboot and then hook your phone up to your data cable an use this command
fastboot flash boot boot.img
boot.img being the file that was saved in your backup flash that and that may fix your problem

fastboot and adb work at different times....adb is for when youre booted into the android
OSwith debugging turned on.... if you can run any adb commands then you can push any file you want.... but if no adb commands work you have to be in the bootloader area for fastboot to work....fast boot doesnt work when your at any htc boot screen it says its waiting for device bc its not set into fastboot usb modeagain.... turn the device off then hold the volume down buttonand press power.... friom there a screen will pop up and go through a file list and then come to a screen where the first option selected is "fastboot" press the power button from there and then hook up the data cable....you should see it say "fastboot usb" nowand from there you run

Idk if windows matters but i tried on a tablet with windows 8 with no luck, after I tried on a 64 bits windows 7 pc witness no luck but on a 32 bits windows 7 worked in the first try.
Your stuck in a bootloop and also you have lost you boot.IMG and you will have to exract from the zip folder of the Rom you have flashed and when that's done you will go to that folder and scroll down and you will see boot.IMG now copy and past it in the same folder that you have your adb and fastboot now open cmd and type fastboot flash boot boot.IMG and press enter and your EVO should reboot enjoy

My phone is S-ON, this means that in order to install a kernel i need to use the FlashGUI app. I tried using a new 3.6 sense ICS rom, so i flashed the kernel and applied the zip in recovery. However, i didnt know that the ROM would not work with S-ON, so i tried flashing a new rom (d3rp rom to be specific) That worked, but when i booted up i was stuck a black screen, I think this is because I am on an ICS kernel. Next, I try to do a nandroid restore, but that doesnt seem to work. Whenever I nandroid restore I get stuck at "restoring recovery partitions" - it just stays there for so long, i waited half an hour then i did a battery pull. tried flashing the rom, no luck. What should I do? thank you..

I used a slightly different method but i pretty much did what you said here and help from another guy, thanks!
Sorry if this has been covered before but I can´t get it to work. I desperatly need help because my One X+ does not boot into recovery. It started with me having CM 10.1 working and all was good. Then when I was using the cam it froze and rebooted but didnt start. I tried to get into recovery but after having chosen the recovery option the phone shows the HTC boot screen, blinks to Another HTC bootscreen and then goes black. I assume it shuts off because I cannot Contact it from fastboot or adb. I have tried flashing a number of different recovery and kernel combinations but the same problem remains. I have even tried the RUU to get it back to stock but even that gives me the same problem afterwards.
I have tried to erase cache and Everything I have found in this wonderful forum but now I dont know what to do. Pls help me
My Hboot is 1.35.0000 and it´s the international version.

Sorry, it was after the boot that I cannot access it. If I boot into fastboot its possible to flash recovery and kernel. I´m new at this so I try my best
I have tried flashing openrecovery-twrp-2.4.4.0-enrc2b.img, ViperX+ 1.06 with venomkernelflasher etc. Everythings seems to go well until reboot, or trying to get into recovery. Could it be HW fault or is it just my incompetence to get it right?
And you said you tried to flash the appropriate boot.img for your ROM?
Bootlooping is usually caused by an inpropriate boot.img... Can you described how you do it please? There is something missing.
Are you using any sort of tool or you're doing all this via a command window?
Also are you sure you picked the right Recovery? Don't take the CWM, you must install the TWRP for the ENRC2B version since you have an International phone.

...ViperX+ 1.06 with venomkernelflasher...

First, if you have CM 10.1 installed on your phone you CAN NOT use VenomKernelFlasher, the latter is only usable with the Viper ROM. You need to flash the boot.img of CM 10.1 if this is the ROM actually installed on your phone.
You should try to flash the correspondent CM 10.1 boot.img located HERE
As I said i´m new at this
When it all happened I was using the CM 10.1. I flashed and rooted with Hasoon2000 v2.3 toolkit.
From the toolkit I flashed the CWM recovery which was working fine until this very moment..
I used the same toolkit to flash the blade boot img you so kindly linked to but same problem did occur after that.
Panicing as I was then I tried Another rom with it´s recovery and kernel but the problems remained the same. (viperX)
Is there anyway I can start over and get a fresh start so to speak? I thought the RUU would solve it but it didn´t. I relocked the phone Before trying the ruu...
update:
Just tried flashing the openrecovery-twrp-2.4.4.0-enrc2b.img with the "BLADE" boot.img but nothing Changes.
It says ok when flashing..
I know this may sound stupid but make sure when flashing a new boot.img you also have flashed the matching rom. I'd take a deep breath and reflash a whole new set. Use normal commands from a "CMD" box so you can track any problems.
Start here with recovery, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1995002

The problem is that I can´t boot into recovery.. can I do it some other way?
i trust you can get to the bootloader screen? if so, is it from there where you try and flash the recovery? Hmm without recovery you cannot flash any rom.
however if you have not been able to boot into recovery i trust you didnt wipe the system (other than when you relocked and then unlocked the bootloader) if so try just flashing the cm10.1 kernel again to see if you can return to a booting phone again.

if you are using the correct recovery version (International) then I'm out of ideas Sorry I couldnt help
Make sure you downloaded the good RUU for your CID
Boot your phone in BOOTLOADER (Volume down + Power)
Make sure your phone is responding to adb command line with the following : fastboot devices (Enter)
Relock your BOOTLOADER : fastboot oem lock (Enter)
Rebooting
Boot the phone into FASTBOOT and then connect to the PC
Again make sure your phone is responding to adb command line with the following : fastboot devices (Enter)
If you have a your serial number in return you can run the RUU
Good luck!

Thank you for not giving up on me
Did all the steps you said and everything went well except for the problem still remaining. Would it make any difference if I try to extract the recovery and boot from the RUU as I have seen mentioned somwhere in the forum?
You can give it a shot, but how are you gonna transfer the Rom.zip on your phone then?
Usually it's something like
Run the installer of the RUU with your phone unplugged.
Stop on the automated installer and put it aside on your Desktop
Follow this path in your computer : C:\Users\your_account_name\AppData\Local\Temp\{ABC1234D-56E7-8910-F11G-123AB4C56DE7}\{ABC1234D-56E7-8910-F11G-123AB4C56DE7}\Rom.zip (Your string will be different but the Rom.zip will still be there)
Extract from this Rom.zip : boot_signed.img & recovery_signed.img
Boot to fastboot, flash boot_signed.img and recovery.img .
Boot to recovery and flash the Rom.zip

I figured if I manage to extract those files from the rom.zip then I could flash them with fastboot? But at the moment I´m even struggling with extracting the darn files...
Do you Think it will make any difference doing the flashing this way or just running the RUU.exe (wich in my case doesn´t work)?

First I just want the conformation that you are doing all this manually via a command window and not throught any sort of flashing tool, right?
Lets try those...
Test 1 :
Put this FILE in your platform-tool folder of SDK and do not rename it.
Plug your phone on your computer USB cable
Open a SDK/ADB command window
Type at the prompt> adb devices (Enter) (Serial conformation)

I have used both toolkit and cmd, another problem is that I cant get "adb devices" to return my device. I have tried in win 8, win 7, and now ubuntu but no serial nr returned. If I try fastboot devices it works fine. Is it important to get the adb to work or could I use fastboot instead? I dont know how I can make it work, maybe its my phone thats the problem? I will try now to flash the file you sent me in your latest post. I very very much appreciate you helping me
edit:
Test 1:
The fastboot erase recovery returns - erasing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)
Fastboot flash.. returns -
C:\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot flash recovery TWRPrecovENRC2B.img
sending 'recovery' (7370 KB)... OKAY
writing 'recovery'... INFOFormat partition SOS done
OKAY
Erase cache - OKAY
After reboot - same problem
Test 2:
The same result as test 1...
Must be something is broken in my ***** phone!?
I'm having some issues with this device connecting to ADB and I need to flash a different HBOOT so I dont get the error message on boot up. Because of said issue I cant flash a newer HBOOT version to my device via ADB. Is there another way that you can flash other than ADB? I know on previous HTC devices you were able to flash it from the bootloader itself if I remember correctly. Any ideas? Thanks.
Place the hboot in a zip with the android-info.txt file, in your fastboot/adb directory on your computer.
Put the device in fastboot mode
(Volume down and power until menu appears, select fastboot using power button)
Connect the device to the computer
Enter the following commands from terminal/command prompt in the fastboot directory, one at a time:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
(this puts the device in RUU mode)
Code:
fastboot flash zip hboot.zip
(this flashes the hboot zip file)
Important: the flash process halts at around 75% to 90% on phone screen! This is normal and a safety precaution!
The last few percent is the reboot, which is NOT happening automatically, so you get a chance to check the console output before reboot to make sure it is safe to reboot!
The bar will only fill up to 100% once you type the following command:
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
(this reboots the device to bootloader)

Thank you for the response, maybe I wasn't clear enough. I cannot use ADB from my computer AT ALL with this device. It recognizes other devices and shows them when I do adb devices but on the DNA it shows as offline and commands do not work because of that.

This is what it shows in ADB:
List of devices attached
FA34GSXXXXXX offline (shows full device but was told by somebody in the past leave most of that info out.)
I know that its DNA related as ADB works just fine on my Gnex without issue.
Are you using Windows 8? There is no HTC drivers for windows 8 that will work. You must use a different windows version or dual boot with Linux.
If you are on a compatible version of windows, try reinstalling the drivers.

Droid DNA with Supercharged Hatka DNA got stuck in bootloop after running fine for over a year (ROM flashed last February)
I have a *fairly* recent backup if I could get it to boot to recovery, but I would prefer not to considering the 20ish Litecoins walleted on the device. I will be willing to give a whole Litecoin to whoever can fix my problem

Do you have adb? If you do the command is adb reboot recovery. Need to know more it just cycles? If so then try to push both power button and and both volumes until it has lights flashing at the bottom and reboots dont let go until it reboots. Other then that I am not sure. I tried to boot to recovery the manual way and it doesnt work. Which is why i Always use that to reboot recovery. Wait, I figured it out. Hold down volume power dont let go until bootloader comes up then let go of both. use volume down and select recovery and bam!
Okay so I tried holding down power and down volume to get into bootloader, it got me there and I could scroll to recovery, but it kept cycling the reboot before it would boot into recovery. I tried plugging it into the computer to use adb, but it just makes the plug/unplug USB sound in Windows. I also tried holding down all three buttons, and it makes no difference.

Ok so if you have fastboot you should be able to use fastboot to flash recovery. If you are going to use a backup then you would need to have the same recovery image you used for the original. My suggestion is go to twrp and get the image. make sure you are plugged in at bootloader and fastboot is selected. IT should say fastboot usb if you are connected correctly on the top. I am assuming you have fastboot? If not my suggestion is to get minimal adb and fastboot it is the easiest. after you have installed run this command.
fastboot devices
it should come up with your device number if it doesnt then you need fastboot drivers. If it does then take the recovery.img you downloaded and place it in the same folder as your fastboot and adb folder. I suggest changing name to make it easier, I usually just change it to recovery.img instead of whatever it downloaded as. Then enter this command
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
It should say sending and complete then enter this command
fastboot reboot recovery
bam you are in recovery!

IT is a lifesaver and so is adb once you learn how to use them you will be freed from lots of problems! Good luck.

ADB tool is no help, computer will not recognize my phone even with all the HTC drivers installed. I'm at my wit's end, starting to believe something in the phone's hardware is messed up because nothing is working

Which adb drivers did you install and you need the fastboot drivers also. I have never found a phone that would not accept a fastboot command what OS are you on?

ADB and fastboot don't help, since it won't connect to any computer. I'm starting to think this is a hardware issue
I figured out what caused this. About a month ago, I was deleting unnecessary files, and it had been a year since I'd flashed my custom ROM so I forgot what the process involved. I accidentally deleted the 'sdcard' folder, and the phone became a ticking time bomb for it to stop working. I bricked it didn't I?

No, If you have twrp use adb push and push a rom to your phone and then flash it and your fine.

If you can get into your rom, go to settings..power and at the bottom disable fastboot

1. Charge your phone (about 24 hours).
2. Let him rest (about 24 hours) without turning on.
3. Connect device to PC with original wire (Win7 preferred).
There is possibility that your BB will recognize phone.
