Dear All,
By mistake I flashed one CDMA ROM in my GSM Touch Pro, Now i cant boot. I tried to flash another GSM ROM from SD Card as per the procedure(I formatted my SD card and put one working ROM file that i had used before by renaming RAPHIMG.nbh to root of SD Card) but it says image not found.
I am looking for your support
SOLVED BY RUNNING ROMUPDATEUTILITY IN BOOT LOADER MODE - thanks for all.

I am going to try and put this as nice as I can. There is a reason they say not to flash a CDMA rom to a GSM phone and vice versa it is cuz you will and most likely have a brick now. I am not sure if it can be fixed at all. Maybe someone else will jump in.
really?
dang. just made that mistake, too...
Two in the same day
Don't know if I could be it any better than zelendel did.

Glad to hear it worked. Let us know how it goes.
worked fine.
Awesome Now don't do it agian
First place I checked when I woke up this so morning. I am glad you got it fixed. a leason learned. Read before you act. Congrats again
i'm having some strange issues that I've never really had before. The phone is stuck in 3G for some reason....and the SD card isn't mounting automatically. i just got done relocking the phone and flashing an RUU and I think that changed something at a deep level that I changed for the better at one time or another....cause I used to flash any rom under the sun and NEVER have an issue whatsoever. Its on the 2.25HBOOT and just a stock RUU for now...
I'm about to unlock it and and put a recovery on it and start modding it again...but don't want to go do all that and not have the 4G or SDcard working after. I know about the Old firmware patch and I did not have to use that before. Its just confusing to me.
Also I am S-OFF....ideas?

Did you flash the ruu twice? Everything doesnt stick sometimes if u flash once.

Flash to the stock recovery and do a factory reset in hboot. That will solve the issue

actually when i flashed a RUU.. the first pass only had a couple of chechmarks and you could totally tell it didnt fully install everything because there were alot that it skipped/ not checked. 2nd passthrough it was fully checked off on what it was trying to install.

yeah, I think it flashes the hboot first and then reboots itself to do the rest. This is not the same as flashing the whole thing twice.:good:
Sigh...
Sorry to rant here. hoping i can get answers, to common problems obviously but even though i researched & tried many stuff that i'm unfamiliar with, after 15hours trying, i decided to post.
Certain issues came up while flashing, some fixed(accidentally), but now my HTC one x+ (Asia), which was perfect, is stuck with a non-working ROM which does't get any Radio (no network/sim), also the SD card (internal) is not detected.
I JUST WISH TO GO BACK TO STOCK ROM NOW...
I know how to UNLOCK it using ALL IN ONE TOOLKIT.
I'm now dowloading (on a slow internet in Philippines) an (OTA_EVITA_UL_JB_45_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_3.17.707.1_0.23a.32.09.29_10.128.32.34a_release_299070u0mcx8aiaku8jgn4.zip),
hoping i will be able to go to Bootloader, fastboot & just click the RUU?
(honestly i dont even know if it will be an EXE, & the correct way)
I'm just hoping if i can re-lock the device, and run a RUU exe, i will have my phone again.
What i did to end up like this below (if anyone bothers to read)
first it was stuck at boot, then i flashed more stuff im aware of, trying to fix anything. i think i shall skip mentioning what i tried as i myself not sure what i did.
bottom line, now the htc one x+ turns on, charges, gets wifi (but no data network & no sd storage)
SD card (while detected, was wiped clean) - no ROMS there now.
I cannot go into RECOVERY BOOT, and pc sometimes recognises the ONE X+ device, but not as a storage card!!??
I have no backup in the Sd anyway..
someone please help me...
i think my post above doesnt make sense, as im so tired trying to fix it by researching.
if there is a simple STEP BY STEP guide to going back to stock ROM please help.
(i'm guessing what i can find for HTC one x can also be used for HTC one x+???)
i saved up many months for this phone.
i loved it so much, & it was perfect, but i wanted to try tweaking & trying the 4.2.1...
i regret it so much as im stuck..my brain is not working anymore after reading so much..
hi
to anyone who can give me a quick reply..
at this point, i have no ROM in my HTC One X+
I am trying my hardest to get back the stock ROM
so now im downloading the RUU exe.
RUU_ENRC2B_U_JB_45_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.14.707.16_Radio_3.1204.167.31_release_290413_signed.exe
I really think thats the right one for my CID
NOW, after it completes download, (in about 3more hours!)
I intend to RE-LOCK my phone.
Go into FASTBOOT, connect to PC & simply RUN the RUU exe file..
MY QUESTION
Is this the right way? i tried with another RUU exe whih was for Cingular,USA, obviously it said WRONG RUU! but it was starting to TRY TO FLASH/INSTALL etc..so it seems like if i get the right RUU it will work??
(i found some links to use the COMMAND PROMPT but i tried & i still cannot get it fixed..)
please..i know this is all a common problem.. but i really just want my phone back.. at least to working condition..
im now thinking of bringing it to some repair shop, but i don't know anywhere here that can fix android or HTC.. i'm in Cebu, philippines by the way...
Sideload
You can try adb sideload option with TWRP recovery and a custom ROM. That should solve your problem. Finding correct RUU and installing them does not work easily most of the times.
To revert back to your original RUU, you need to
- relock your bootloader
- go to USB fastboot (connecting the the phone to your PC)
- run your Asian RUU from PC and follow instructions and wait
Thank you Steve0007 (I like your Avatar!)
Yes, i'm hoping it will be simple...
(Is it correct after i relock the device, the bootloader shows RE-LOCKED!?? , just curious as i don't know what it says before.. shouldn't it say.. LOCKED??).. oh well..
Sadly i'm using super slow internet to download whatever i can...
now i'm waiting for the Asian RUU (executable) to be downloaded, so i can try this method!
In the meantime..i'm gonna keep reading up about other methods.
thnks so much!

Hi Abhishek... thank you for all the Messages in inbox... relieved to get some help..at least..this phone is my baby..
I see, ... while waiting for the RUU to be downloaded, i think i shall try to find out how to do TWRP recovery!
I have One_X+_All-In-One_Kit_v2.3 (by Hasoon2000)
somehow it doesnt show TWRP...
it shows CWM (ATT),
and CWM International

i'm sorry i ask so many newbie questions.. but its really helpful for people who are in panic..
(on a sidenote, .. my wife thinks im crazy trying to (HACK-her words.. JAILBREAK-her understanding.. -SPOILING-her verdict) a perfectly fine phone!..)
I've been flashing ROMS and customising stuff on WINDOWS MOBILE since 2005/6 since the O2 Mini days.. but now i decided to 'ply' around with my device and find out i know NUTS!
I feel for you mate I did same after a week of trial and error I managed to adb sideload a Rom hope u get it fixed

Yes Andy1969, thanks.
I've been trying for about 17hours total now... (i realise i must be not as 'techie' as i thought!)
i have refrained from flashing ever since i got HTC touch, Touch Dual, Diamond, HD, Sensation, One X and now finally got my dream phone One X+.. which is almost perfect.. But i had an itch to start fiddling with it after owning it for just about 2 months...
even though i regret it, at this moment.. i feel that somehow after i learn more..my addiction to flashing may come back just like in those Windows Mobile days!

First try the RUU you have downloaded. If not, then unlock again and install TWRP from this link http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/130 and try sideloading Slim Rom you have downloaded.

I managed to install TWRP!
now when i choose RECOVERY it goes straight to the TWRP...
i dont really know why the SLIM ROM sideloading did not work... as in SD card (as stated in TWRP) shows only the TWRP folder...
but at least im seeing progress...
i will keep trying sideloading some ROMS... maybe need to change name of file etc??
anyway..when i got into TWRP..1st thing i did was back up... at least for now..its better than being totally bricked...
i am back into the non-fully-working AOKP Jelly Bean 4.2.1 Custom ROM which doesnt recognise my sim or my sd card...
I DID IT! (i think..i hope)
WELL...
by some fluke.i managed to use TWRP to sideload the SlimBean ROM.. wow... 1st it was all error..so since its in the SD partition, i used TWRP recovery to reflash...still many buggy errors... network was found but no calls can be made.. now i did a factory reset from the phone settings itself.. (not the TWRP) and wala... all seems to be fine..
wifi, text, calls all ok..
yet to test others.. its 12.45am now!
so i spent 2 full days for my silly trial... but its ok.. i learnt stuff anyway..
BUT the SD card problem still exists... no detected..will work on it tomorrow or try new roms etc..
but the SlimBean interface & 4.2.1 is really cool & different..
im pretty sure there will be some errors tomorrow.. (just have a feeling)..if not.. then it will be best..
for now.. HOME button doesnt get me back to HOME! (will try settings etc)..now checking out other settings before i get some rest!
cheers.. will update again tomorrow..
Good progress. Now you know how to bring your phone back to life

You keep saying "SD Card" problem. What do you mean by that? You do understand our phone has no SD Card or SD Card partition. What you think of as the SD Card is nothing but a folder called "media" on the /data/ partition. That means we can't do things like mount our device as mass storage on PC's or mount SD Card in recovery.

Yes i understand it doesn't have a 'physical' SD Card, but in Stock Rom, in File Explorer, it is recognised as SD Card.
Also, when plugged into PC, it is recognised as External Storage... from PC, it was possible to access the Internal Storage, and within that, the SD Card, which inluded DCIM, and whatever folders it had..
BUT now all tht 'SD' portion is gone.. Gallery cannot be viewed as there is no 'SD Card' (system prompt)
Camera doesn't work too as there is no 'SD Card' (system prompts again)
Help pls! Rom is gone! Usb unrecognized!
NOW its worse!! pls help!
I woke up this morning, turned the HOX+ on...
I found that most functions not working! (example-FILE MANAGER/CAMERA/BROWSER HAS STOPPED WORKING PROMPT,etc)
I knew that i will try re-flash today, so i went into TWRP recovery again & re-flashed the same SLIMbean rom.
still didnt work, so i wiped data etc...
I didnt realise I ALSO WIPED AWAY EVERYTHING!
SO NOW THERE IS NO ROM AGAIN..
if i boot it's STUCK AT HTC QUIETLY BRILLIANT screen, and worst, if i go into FASTBOOT, when i plug the usb into my Windows 8 PC, it DOESN'T say FASTBOOT USB anymore!!
so the pc doesnt recognise the device and i cannot use the all-in-one toolkit!

well maybe go back try the basic things maybe ur pc isnt up to it recheck drivers mine was wiped all out and got it back
Sorry for making two threads, but so confused and out of ideas on what to do.
I relocked my bootloader because i was going to try installing the newest RUU, but for some reason my computer cant seem to find my device even though its plugged in. So i cant load my phone, i can load recovery i cant even turn off my phone, and i cant access it from my computer.
So i have no clue what to do, help would be greatly appreciated

You can load recovery? Put the RUU on your sdcard by mounting your sdcard inside of recovery. Maybe that will work???
heres a program i use for unlocking my bootloader/locking and flashing recovery's
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1734365
i know it says (one x) but it does work with other phones. been using it on my rezound
go to your bootloader and than enter fastboot and connect to your pc using usb
than put your RUU (latest is 4.03.605.2) in the zip folder which is in the one click main folder
make sure that zip is named as PH98IMG
than launch the program than in the menu choose (RUU - Advanced) than choose the zip from the drop down menu and click perform action
(i havent tried this option yet but im sure it works!, im probably going to test right now just to make sure)
EDIT: BTW you dont need to relock your bootloader for installing a new RUU. i flash my RUU with it unlocked/S-OFF all the time, you only have to remember to flash your custom recovery after the RUU if you use one
My bad it was a typo, i couldnt load recovery, but i ended up finding a way to make my drivers work and could make contact with my phone and unlocked my bootloader. Am currently flashing a RUU, and afterwards am going to try and install EclipticRez, and hopefully it will work this time
If not can you suggest any other popular, stable ROMs?

Plug it into a computer and see what device pops up. Or get a multimeter just to make sure the battery is crapped out.
Nvm, just took out battery, and waited a bit before i put it back in and it worked
Got the viperrez installed, now just trying to find out how to get Emoji's working haha
Phone was working great until it just froze, I did a battery pull and now it won't go past the HTC white logo screen.
It boots into recovery, but only as safe mode.
Cannot access internal memory or external memory.
Haven't tried wiping the system since I can't really access the storage space to flash anything, or even restore a backup.
It's not dead. Simone else just posted the same exact problem.
Download the latest ruu. Pull your external sdcard.
Put sdcard in the computer.
Copy the ph85img.zip to it.
Put sdcard in phone.
Boot to bootloader.
Follow the on screen instructions.
That'll get you back to square one.
Also look for Odysseus' post in the other threads. He has some good information on this subject.

As Chevy said, someone else posted with this exact same problem a day or two ago. Since you're S-off and unlocked the procedure is to download the latest factory image for your device. You can't flash one from another carrier or you'll brick it. There are links in one of the "pinned" threads at the top of the forums.
Once you have it downloaded rename it to "PH85IMG.zip" (note the capitalization must be exactly the same) and place it in the root of your external SD card. Now comes the fun part. It won't flash on an unlocked bootloader, so you must relock it using ADB commands or with the Amaze toolkit (don't worry you won't loose S-off). BTW I hope you saved the HTC unlock blob from when you first unlocked as you'll need it again to unlock later.
Flash the image from the bootloader hboot. When it's finished then go to settings / about phone /software information and accept any HTC updates. With a T-Mobile phone there will be at least three OTA's depending on which image you installed. Two of them are 30MB and require rebooting in between. The last one just updates a couple of .apks and doesn't need a reboot. You need these to get the latest radio.
Once all of the updating is finished you'll be back to factory with the latest radio. Now all you have to do is unlock, install a recovery, reroot, SuperCID, and you'll be ready to play again.
I hope this helps
Thanks again for the help, the phone is functional again. Does anybody have any idea why this happens?

Holy crap I did none of the above. The ruu flashed on the unlocked bootloader, I didn't even capitalize it.
The bootloader stayed unlocked, I didn't check the supercid on it................................................................ I just re-installed the recovery
It booted fine though, so I have no idea what's going on

I'm as careful as they come. but it happened to me a few weeks back too. Sometimes you just get a bad flash, other times NAND memory cells get stuck (they wear out over time) or are slow to accept data. All it takes is an important part of the file system flashed onto a bad data block and the whole thing can get stuck in a loop. For me I had been trying out a bunch of ROMS and somehow a kernel failed to flash. I ended up with a kernel mismatch (kernel modules don't match the kernel) which resulted in a bootloop.
As a precaution I just keep an old 2GB SD-card handy that only has the Amaze image on it, so in case of an emergency all I have to do is relock the bootloader, stick in the SD card and I'm back in action within 15 mins.

For me I had been trying out a bunch of ROMS and somehow a kernel failed to flash. I ended up with a kernel mismatch (kernel modules don't match the kernel) which resulted in a bootloop.
As a precaution I just keep an old 2GB SD-card handy that only has the Amaze image on it, so in case of an emergency all I have to do is relock the bootloader, stick in the SD card and I'm back in action within 15 mins.

That's a good idea, but is it really necessary for me right now? You know, since the bootloader is still unlocked, SuperCID is still 1's and I'm still S-OFF?
If it happens again, I'll re-lock, reload, and re-flash

Holy crap I did none of the above. The ruu flashed on the unlocked bootloader, I didn't even capitalize it.
The bootloader stayed unlocked, I didn't check the supercid on it................................................................ I just re-installed the recovery
It booted fine though, so I have no idea what's going on

Did you flash from your SD card or push the ruu with ADB? Usually it will only accept the zip image from the bootloader, but the ruu can be pushed with ADB.
What ever the case I'm just glad things worked out.

Flashed via SD card.
By the way, can we dual boot this phone?
I know, it's risky booting it to two os, but I'm just wondering cause making backups and restoring nandroids are becoming a pain every time I want to take good photos. :/ So I was wondering if we could dual boot.
I dual booted my old defy that only had about half the ram, and half the processing speed lmao so why not this device?

I could dual boot on my old HD2 as well. I don't believe any devs here have written a bootloader with that capability for the Amaze, but you could always just do a search and find out for yourself. It might be just a matter of porting an existing app to this device. Good luck!!!!

I googled it, the only thing that came up was an old thread about someone asking for the system/cache/boot sizes.
Looks like no one really wanted it for this device.
I wish they did though, the Sense camera is amazing

I know what you mean. One reason I keep coming back to NRG is because of camera and video. I can't find a replacement that comes close.

I've actually never flashed that one lol
But I was reading up and apparently there's a HD camera mod (can't remember if it was the desire or sensation) that was supposed to take better 1080p videos and superb photos.
I saw it floating the forums a while ago, but it was a sense cam so I couldn't flash it. I had Pac 4.3 at the time.
Now I'm on 4.4 Evervolv, so far so good. Lowest ram usage I've ever had with a lot of apps installed, so I'm happy with it.
I may or may not try Cyanogenmod 11 but I'm in no hurry.

Thanks again for the help, the phone is functional again. Does anybody have any idea why this happens?

No idea why it happens but I had the same symptoms - wouldn't get past the HTC logo but this happened after I had simply powered the phone off and removed the battery after I wasn't going to use it for a while [playing with the Lumia 920].
It seemed like the partition map gets wiped out or something causing the problem.
The hdd camera is in the aroma installer I'm my viper Rom.
Well also be the camera default in the upcoming release of jellybean sense and other future releases.

Sounds good, but no kit kat?
One Rom at a time... Lol
Ravike and I have been working on this for a while now. Can't progress until we get the next level finished, then the next version will be hopefully easier. We are getting closer. Ravike has a lot of building from scratch to do.

Ooooh
I used your rom, I love the full gpu rendering. Haven't tried the camera yet, but looking forward to that HD mod that's on there.
Nenamark2 gets 50.5 fps!!!!!!!!!! That's the most I've ever seen this device go up to!!!!
Damn! Awesome lol
Antutu shows that the graphics goes over the 4000 mark. Definitely love it.

ViperAmaze was one of the first ROMs I tried when I got mine. I loved everything about it except I had Bluetooth pairing and WiFi tethering issues. Since I'm a truck driver, I need hands free on my daily driver. Unfortunately, it seems most if not all of the builds that are not derived directly from the OEM HTC Amaze, have some type of Bluetooth or WiFi issue that's not easily overcome.
