Hey guys, I've been trying to get an initial root on my HOX+, it's my first time rooting anything and I've come across a bump in the road. I've been following this rooting guide from the HOX+ forum, but so far no one's responded to my request for help, so I decided I'd broaden my quest for answers here.
This is the initial post I made:
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 am trying to use 'adb' from the android dev kit but I cannot see the devices, i.e. 'adb devices' doesn't report any devices. It appeared to be working earlier this evening but not any more. I was going to push a rom file to my rooted phone but obviously since I no longer see the device I am stuck. I rooted yesterday and installed the maximus rom but my phone went into a loop of restarting. Unfortunately I didn't backup before I rooted and installed Maximus rom.
Can anybody offer any help? I am using Mac OSX.
Desperate since phone is now effectively redundant

Hi
Thanks for your reply, I have hit the 'Thanks' button
I read the posting you referenced but it doesn't really offer a solution to my problem.
As described earlier I rooted my phone and flashed a Rom (Maximus) succesfully but on turning the phone on after installing the new Rom I got into a cycle of the phone rebooting without actually getting past the lock screen. My thoughts at that stage were to re flash using stock rom but on running fastboot and plugging into my Mac OSX machine via USB, the phone doesn't show up in 'devices' on the Mac. I have also tried 'adb devices' form within Android Dev Tools and although 'adb' runs fine no device is reported. Of course without devices being avaialble to 'adb' then I cannot reflash!
I have also tried from within a bootcamp installation of 'Windows XP' installed on the mac with the same results, this with 'HTC Sync' installed and therefore providing the USB Drivers required within Windows.
I have tried logging into fastboot using 'power' and 'Down Volume' at various stages of the boot process on the phone but have never seen the phone within devices.
Clearly prior to installation of the Rom (Maximus) I could see devices at both the Finder window on the Mac and from adb devices.
Any help or insight you could provide would be very gratefully received
Ok ok ok dont worry
I had to read a bit and found quit much german threads where they flash back the stock rom
as is suggested u cant flash it with odin...
the only solution i woul suggest is that u have to find a computer running windows
there its very easy to restore the stock with the methods u described earlier in the thread...
hope u get done let me know what happend
=)
The question remains; how can I flash anything be it a hacked rom or an official rom when I cant see the 'device' in both windows and mac osx?
I think what I am looking for is a reason why the phone isn't seen when plugging in via USB. Once it is seen as a 'device' I will be able to flash anything via 'adb'.
Thank you for your continued interest and assistance
ok so u know how the get it back but ur phone is not really recognized by ur computer
but i found a method using the bootloader
the problem is that the instructions are in german
but i think if u google a bit u may find it
Don't know if I misunderstood what you said..but to get into recovery, you hold volume down and the power button when the phone is turned off. Not during the boot process.
Yes you can do it with bootloader (power+volume down)

Yes, I know that. He said he attempted to do that DURING the boot process. I was stating that he had to do it while the phone was powered down.
Guys, I can get into recovery no problem. The issue is that my phone doesn't show up in devices on the mac finder window and hence when I run 'ADB Devices' from the mac when the phone is plugged into the mac with USB no device is found and so no serial number is reported in my terminal window on the mac. If I can get to see the device with 'ADB' I can push the rom and recover the phone. At the moment the phone is bricked.
Thanks guys for your continued assistance.

But if this doenst work why dont u try the method with the recovery mode or the bootloader i suggested
Hi everyone,
So I bought my friends HTC ONE X PLUS off him even though he had boot loop following a botched Custom ROM installation.
Stupidly I thought I could fix it.
It is an international device locked to O2. It loops at the HTC logo and allows boot into bootloader and CWM. The problem I have is that the PC doesnt even recognise it as a USB MASS (even after downloading the latest drivers - several times ) CWM wont even mount the storage.
Ive tried sideloading and everything else but no joy. The RUU I need to flash back to stock isnt out yet ? 1.17.206.1 and I cant ( as mentioned ) just dump an img/zip into the root as I cant get access to the storage. Its shows on the PC as removable storage but when I click it it asks me to insert a disk.
When I adb device/fastboot device it gives a number and says fastboot. ADB shows nothing in list of attached devices.
Any suggestions? If anyone in the UK would be happy for me to post it to them so they can have a go Id be happy to fund a beer or 2 in return
Thanks all.

The reason why the phone does not boot up anymore is that you friend probably forgot to flash the proper kernel/boot.img for the rom he installed. The kernal can't be flashed in recovery because the phone is still S-ON. In the HTC One X+ General forum you will find two tutorials with everything you need to know about unlocking/rooting/flashing using this phone. If you read both of them carefully, you should be able to solve your problem. Don't forget to press Thanks for the two guys who made these guides!!!
Also here you should be able to find the correct RUU for your CID. But since it needs relocked bootloader, you probably will have to read the to guides anyway and it is probably much easier to stay with unlocked bootloader and do the right flashing procedure.
Hello,
I was asked to forward my problem here so here it goes:
Not a long time ago I bought Asus ME302C FHD 10 and tried to root it. I followed a guide but I can't paste link just now.
Anyhow, the guide told me to flash rooted system image. I did every step correctly except that after i rebooted it, my device got stuck on logo screen, sometimes saying "no command".
I would like to undo that by getting unrooted system image for my device or rather get a working rooted system image. I am not sure about other possibilities as I am not experienced in android rooting or anything related. I do have fastboot up and working.
Thank you a lot in advance.
Edit: I figured out that Asus website has factory system images, however I don't really know which one to use because they all are for different countries and I am not sure what device is mine. Is there a way to check parameters of your device without booting it?
Edit2: I messed with the device more and found out that adb doesn't recognize device, as in, running 'adb devices' nothing gets listed. However, 'fastboot devices' does output my device, not sure where the problem is. Also, firmwares listed on asus website are zipped files and I don't know how to flash them. I tried 'fastboot flash system zippedfile.zip' but it would give me an error.
Solved
After few sleepless nights and loads of browser tabs opened I finally managed to fix my device.
All I needed was to use a different SKU firmware from Asus website. Now I can finally boot it thanks to XDA developers team and their useful information on the forums.
Hi everybody - any help with the following problem is appreciated, I've thrown everything I can find at it but I'm just over my head at this point!
My LG G watch worked great, up until one morning when it got stuck in a bootloop - if I had to guess, the battery must have run out at the exact wrong time, during an OTA update. Maybe. Anyway, stuck in a bootloop.
I managed to install TWRP bootloader, and apparently uninstalled everything but the TWRP bootloader, as it now has the 'no OS installed!' dialogue whenever I try to exit.
I had minimal success installing ADP drivers, but never managed to make a PC/watch connection past fastboot OEM unlock. At the moment (a few months after i had that working) my PC doesn't recognise the watch at all.
So I've bought an OTG cable, and the plan is to put a flashable ROM (hey, even the stock one if I can find it) on a USB stick, navigate to it on TWRP via install, and take it from there. Anyone know if that's what I should be trying / where I can find that particular ZIP file?
Also worth noting, I never toggled on ADP debugging when the original OS was working.
Here's the info from the fastboot screen- ANY help is appreciated!
Product Name = Dory

Have you tried the instructions of the thread about fixing adb after the update? May work for you. I don't think the watch supports OTG...

Mate... worked a dream. Thanks so much!
First off, I apologize if i epicly fail at this post since I am a n00b and it's my first time here, and I'm hoping you guys at XDA could help me with this, but My Tracfone ZTE Z667G (Zinger?) has many issues. It won't boot up past the ZTE logo, my computer doesn't recognize it, and I can't seem to boot into recovery. I am confused because I have not done any modifications to it whatsoever. I also cannot seem to find any stock roms for it or any tools to restore it. I've tried various ADB & Fastboot commands and it just says "waiting for device..." since my computer wont recognize it.
The battery is new and I need my data off of the phone and I have no idea what to do. Any suggestions? Thank you all in advance.

Did you properly installed adb driver?and check your phone cable.Damaged cable won't let computer to recognize your phone.This happened to me few months ago.
