Hey Guys,
I really need help, cause maybe i brick friend's phone.
So I unlocked bootloader from htc.dev and everything gonne right, but then i flashed TWRP and wiped cache.. and system .
I tried to flash another ROM like Nonsense, but TWRP just said "Failed". Then i flashed almost every CWM recovery, and tried flash the ROM, but it said it can't flash (i don't know exactly why, some problem with writing raw, number of error 7). But when I start recovery, it showing errors like
E:Cant mount /cache/recovery/command
E:cant mount /cache/recovery/ log
E:cant open /cache/ recovery/log
E:cant mount /cache/recovery/ last_log
E:cant open /cache/recovery/ last_log

I searched and found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1039504 , but nothing from the thread helped me.
I tried to flash stock recovery, kernel, and ROM too with RUU (RUU started flash, but then showed some error that was saying bad picture of ROM).
I really don't know what to do right now, because phone seems to be really bricked.
Any help please? I will be grateful.
Maybe you should scroll down a bit on desire x q&a forums and find this thread 'accidentally deleted OS'.
Maybe that'll solve your problem but maybe not..

Sure, I saw that thread, but it doesn't helped me at all
Noone any idea? I really need help.
I found this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1307270 and it looks exactly like my problem, but with Desire X.
So there is some tutorial to make it right: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1284196 , seems that emmc chip on this phone is not fried, but I am not sure, and nothing helped me.
But I have progress, now cache is working normaly (i can mount it, and I donť see any errors), but I can't mout emmc (internal memory).
When i want flash ROM, flashing aborted because status 1, when i do nandroid restore it stops on restoring system and shows errors.
I really dont know what do, HELP me please
It's nothing wrong with your device. What I can see as you mentioned error 7 and error 1, those are scripting error and wrong recovery for a wrong ROM.
It's very late now over here, I'll write something tomorrow and you need to give more info and do what I will ask you to do. It may help you.
So come back to this thread tomorrow.
Ok sure, thank you

Yes, as said by @ckpv5 you need another recovery for your new ROM (maybe neXus RECOVERY)
Now I have Nexus recovery, and as I said before, i tried like 3-4 recoveries and noone of them seems to be working for me.
Btw. I also tried 4 different ROMs so I think problem is not here..

I'm just about to write what we need to know, now you mentioned that you have hboot 1.25 means that you have a JB hboot... so you can only use a ROM with JB hboot updater-script and also a recovery meant for JB hboot.
That is what I said earlier that your problem is may have related to installing a wrong ROM with a wrong recovery.

It won't work because that is ICS recovery.
I'm not asking you to use my ROM, but just to make a test.
ROM : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2249760
Recovery : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39662992&postcount=66 (don't use any other yet)
Follow the instruction mentioned on the ROM thread.
Once it works... you are free to test any other ROM that you like and any other JB recovery that you want (but never use an ICS recovery)
Well, it worked!
Thank you very much ckpv5!
I look really dump right now
But question, why i can't flash this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2108660 (status 1)

This rom says "This ROM is based on the HTC Desire X RUU"
The RUU is ICS-HBOOT 1.24 and you have 1.25.
I think this is a major reason.

Download RUU 1.14.401.1 or 1.18.401.1 from http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=Proto (both should work but choose the higher version so it update your hboot to 1.24)
What you need to do :
1. Put the device in bootloader/fastboot mode
2. Relock the bootloader with command : fastboot oem lock
3. Again in bootloader/fastboot mode
4. Run the RUU and follow its instruction

so, m not new to this flashing n etc but wont consider myself as educated about rooting n stuff as most of you guys so i ask you for help!
i was s-off through j.bear method, rooted!,so flashed the ruu from Football weeks ago, ran fine, flashed reecovery gained root. everything was fine untill i decided to go on the Speed Rom 3.1.0 , i followed the instructions as always (fyi, i flashed countless roms on my mytouch 4g) i dont know where i went wrong but now
THE PROBLEM:
the problem now i have is the phone gets stuck on the HTC logo, boot screen or if i flash the official ics tmo ruu then it gets stuck on the tmo android logo. :/, it does not go any further than that.
i can access bootloader, recovery too. but after trying to flash different roms and updates, and also i tried to install the tmo stock ruu by relocking the bootloader again and then flashing it through bootloader but it does not help.
i m dyinggg here trying to fix it, may be its just a stupid mistake from me that i dont know you guys are the doctors of this stuff so i m hopefull ( a little)
any help will be greatly appreciated. thanks alot.
EDIT: I have also tried flashing roms through recovery
and bootloader too.
also tried wiping , factory settings,formating, dalvik ,cache, battery stats etc
flashed 4ext recovery , sometimes the recovery gives the error message that it CANT ACCESS INTERNAL STORAGE, i wonder why is that.
Edit 2:
fyi: right now i am RELOCKED ,S-OFF , HBOOT 1.93.0002

Its not that it can't flash it, but I've had it happen to me a couple of times, if I flashed a rom and didn't check the md5 and the kernel was messed up, it would flash, then get stuck on the HTC splash screen. Then flashing the kernel through easy kernel flasher it would load up the rom I was on.
I'm just giving another option to try, but I think if there's an issue with a kernel for whatever reason the next install there will be an issue with the kernel flash. Its happened to me a couple of times, and 4ext couldn't bail me out, but the kernel flasher did every time.
Please keep all question based threads in the Q&A section. It also helps to search the forums before posting your [Q]. Often times, your problem has been asked and answered.

I have the same prob. . I've tried everything over the last week. Stock ruu, ice leak, every possible rom, eng hboot, wiping everything, even did a format on the internal sd through windows, Linux, cwm and nothing.. 4ext can't mount internal_SD and won't let me flash from SD card as won't mount either.. cwm recovery see's the internal, it works as I put data on it, disk checked it for errors and none.. I have not tried the kernal flash tool but did try through fast boot and hansoon's toolkit, does it flash it any different?? I will try later but I Def have the same problem.. and on ice leak it goes past the HTC screen till the T-Mobile splash.
Hi Friends,
I have rooted earlier my phone and later I found some RUU roms for Asia for my Amaze hence as per instructions I relocked it and tried installing the RRU ICS Rom but it didn't work. So again, I unlocked the bootloader and inside TWRP recovery I clicked on restore my backup copy which is there in my SD Card but the mistake I made was I forgot to enable debugging in the settings for which I guess when restoring my backup copy it say's it cannot format or formatting failed. I tried restarting and restore factory settings but unfortunately I cannot boot the phone. it stops at HTC screen.
Please help me with regards to this by using the PC (All in one Tool) or mobile. Now I can only able to access bootloader and recovery TWRP 2.4.
what I missed out was enabling the debugging mode in settings after I unlocked the bootloader & tried to restore my updated backup copy from SD card.
Also, I haven't done S-off and Super CID. Since, I bought this recently and wanted to do this weekend.
Please do help me out for this solution. what should I do ??

Then Again I unlock the bootloader and so on. but the mistake I made was I forgot to click the debug mode after the flashing of the bootloader.
and then I went into the bootloader and then recovery to recover my backup rom which I earlier had made for myself if any time I flash that I can restore it using my RRU backup rom with details.
So, now the problem is I can only see the HTC screen no further movement.
I can access bootloader and recovery TWRP 2.4
what I missed out was clicking on the debug mode after, I flashed my mobile .
My recovered rom is at my SD Card. only the thing is when ever I perform action it say's failed..

Actually, your problem is probably the recovery you are using. If you are not S-Off then you need to be using 4ext recovery with smartflash enabled in the settings.

Hi Bro..
thanks for the reply..
Thing is like this, I have flashed my rom after that I forgot to click debug mode in the settings. Also it is in S-On mode. Since, I haven't S-Off & Super CID my phone.
Now in recovery screen when I tried to restore the rom or tried the custom rom which are there in my sd card. I get response as failed. Reason given below was unable to format.
So, you mean if I change my recovery from TWRP to 4ext, I am able to format in advance mode ??
Please help me bro.. THank you soo much for taking interest..

My son's phone has a similar problem. I've never rooted an Amaze, but had no problems with other devices following guides here. I'm not sure exactly what went wrong with his phone, but he has 4ext on it and I have Hasoons tool. It looks like he was trying to use the internal sd.
At this point, it boots to the HTC screen, then does not move forward. 4ext seems to be working fine, so I'm looking for a restore procedure that will get him back up and running.

Happen to me before because I said format partitions but thought it was stuck so I pulled the battery. My phone now didn't boot and the internal sd was borked. Flashing a RUU should fix your issue, it did for me.

Hey AJ, I just found the solution, it was simple enough to crack this issue. Since, earlier I told you that I had TWRP recovery while I was searching for all this issues, I found the solution. I gave a shot and tried the settings inside th TWRP recovery program and I tickmark the advance format using -r (don't know much tech knowledge). But when I clicked the radio button then I tried again recovering my backup data. I was successfully completed and was back with my GB.
I'm very much happy now, today I did S-off and Super CID succesfully and was able to install the latest ICS update. I just followed one of the senior member from pakistan who had same WWE Asia Ruu.
Now, I'm gonna try many different ROMs. Thank you for all your contributions and help.
Please can you suggest me the best ROM with no bugs and issues reported and works very much smoothly.
I checked out with nightmare ROM, its good but still I see some bugs in that.
Also, the RHD ROM even though it has the same bugs but pretty not sure how far my phone works smoothly between these ROM.
Thank You Soo Much for the HELP...

Hey.. that nice thanks...
ok.. I just run out to be having some problem.
I have done S off and super cid 11111111 (I just checked)
also my Hboot is 1.93
on the top of bootloader it is showing "Juopunutbear " instead of unlock - Is it fine or something wrong.
I download and updated the the 4ext recovery latest version.
Also I have updated to ICS 4.0 Ruu and made a backup. I have installed the SuperSU
I have been trying to install the Nightmare custom rom. But nothing happens except HTC screen.
I can restore back to Ruu my backup. but cannot do another further.
what could be the reason.
Hi,
I have a Sprint CDMA HTC EVO 3D. I tried root and get S-OFF for it. Unfortunately I failed and now the phone fail to boot.
Below is what I did from which you might be able to diagnose it and give me suggestions.
(1) The original status of mu phone is:
Stock rom, I never root it before.
HBOOT-1.58.0000
Android Version: 4.03
HTC Sense version: 3.6
Software version: 2.95.651.6.710RD
(2) My root procedures:
I followed this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1813818
I successfully unlocked phone with HTCDev, successfully Flashed 4EXT recovery, and successfully installed Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip. I also booted into sytem, everything worked well.
However I failed in next step of JuopunutBear's Wire Trick (S-OFF). When I ran ControlBear.exe, it finally hanged there.
Current status of my phone:
Unfortunately I did not make a backup to my original ROM, so there is no way to revert back by restoring backup.
Now the phone is in unlocked status, I was able to boot to HBOOT and also enter 4Ext recovery, however I am not able to boot into Android. If I try to boot into Android, it always hang at black screen.
I am able to boot to fastboot (USB) mode, I tried to flash some stock ROM (listed at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24268786&postcount=209), but I failed. For example, I ran a RUU of 2.89.exe, it detected my phone version is 2.95, and further update RUU failed.
Looks like my partition is ruined, but I might be wrong.
ANyone can help me to restore my phone to working status? At least I need the phone to be able to boo to Android.
Here are also some tries that I ever did:
(1) I ever put the PG86IMG.zip file (downloaded from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21593454&postcount=564) to my sdcard, still failed.
(2) I ever formatted all partition from 4EXT recovery

EDIT:
Okay. I've got some questions.
1. You're stuck on some black screen as you said. It boots past the white HTC splash and then it's stuck on that black screen, right. Do you mean the juopunutbear "arrow screen" - juopunutbears boot.img?
2. I think if you had flashed the original boot img everything would have been fine.
3. The easiest way is to flash to stock, so lets try to figure out why it doesn't flash.

Okay. So from what I understood, you are stuck on the black juopunutbear screen, right?

Yes, after I was stuck with black juopunutbear screen, I took battery out, reboot again, never was able to root to Android. I am only able to boot to HBoot.

EDIT:
One more thing. Which ruu were you trying to run
Edit2:
What's your CID? Use "fastboot getvar cid" or "fastboot oem readcid" (without quotes).
Edit3:
BTW, this was on the wire trick page... http://unlimited.io/jbtroubleshooting.htm - TROUBLESHOOTING There was everything you needed to know when you failed at something. Remember that page. You may need it the next time you try to do the wiretrick.
Q: Were you using a linux distro for the wire trick and did you use the appropriate files for wire trick since GB and ICS have separate tools?
If you want I may assist you in gaining s-off if we get this thing functional again.
Yes, I am able to boot to recovery.

Aw man, I'm completely sorry I didn't see this: Software version: 2.95.651.6.710RD
That means, no RUU for you cause htc/sprint wasn't kind enough to provide the ruu. Also FYI you can't flash a ruu lower than your current one.
So your best bet is to flash the most stock 2.95 cdma rom you could find and right after, flash the stock cdma evo 3d kernel through fastboot or 4ext (I think 4ext smartflash does the same thing). Try to find something that's COMPLETELY STOCK - with no mods whatsoever or if you couldn't find any, try something that's almost* stock. That should get you booting and you can try s off again.
Edit: This shall work. http://www.negalite.com/index.php?topic=21.0 Try it and report back!!!
Now I only want to revert my phone to stock, not considering root at present time.
I searched 2.95 ROM, unfortunately the highest version that I can find is 2.89. Does this mean I have no way to revert my phone to live? Thanks a lot.

Flash like a normal rom and don't forget to flash the boot img because that's what's really causing you problems right now. I'd choose the deodexed one from there.

If you have access to the recovery, most likely, yes.
Hello MrJyrks,
Thank you so much for the link! I am eager to try that. Before I do that I think I shall ask two questions to avoid further mess up the device:
Question #1: To install the deodexed rom, which is the correct way:
(1) Rename the ZIP file to PG86IMG.ZIP, put to root of sdcard, then boot, letting the Bootloader to do the update.
(2) In 4EXT recovery, enable smartflash, enable script asserts, then install the zip from the root of sdcard.
Question #2: You said I shall flash boot image, can you tell me how to do this? I mean, where shall I get the boot image file? Flash it with 4EXT? SHall I do it before or after install ROM zip file?
Thank you very much for your helps!!!

I tried install the stock ROM from your link (using 4EXT with smartflash enabled and script asserts enabled.) . Amazing that installation completed successfully (indeed this is the first ROM zip that I was able to install successfully since I mess up the device). When I exit After that, it did some further update which I guess is the boot.img that you mentioned.
4EXT it said 'a pending update for your boot partition is detected' and I think it was doing the boot image flash that you mentioned, right?
Unfortunately when I boo the device, I still got black screen.
Now I am unlocked and also rooted (since I successfully installed superuser in 4EXT). DO you think I shall lock the devioce before installing the stock ROM? If so, one possible issue is that if I relock the device, I found 4EXT is not available. In that case, how shall I install the ROM zip file?
Thanks.

Further update:
I flashed boot image by: fastboot flash boot boot.img which is included in the stock ROM zip file.
The flash went successfully. However, I am still not able to boot to Android. WHat I have is the device hang there, alternatively displaying logo with white background, and black screen.

Similar problem, can't return to stock
I have a problem similar to lsdyna's, and am hoping that even though this post is old, MrJyrks or someone might be able to help me.
I am unsuccessfully trying to return my phone to stock. First a bit of history.
I had 2.95.651.6.710RD s-on hboot 1.58 Android Version: 4.03 HTC Sense version: 3.6 on my phone, and wanted root. I didn't need s-off, just wanted to root so could do some tweaking (stop some apps from autostarting, stop some form getting network access, etc.) so loaded 4EXT Recovery Touch, and got root (fastboot oem get_identifier_token method), got superuser in there, and happily began tweaking. Famous last words... I didn't make a backup right away (learned my lesson!) and suddenly found a 'overtweaked' sluggish phone on my hands.
Thought best thing would be to lose the root & return to stock & start over, carefully, making backups.
So I used Fastboot (fastboot oem lock) to lock it (worked) and proceeded to try to load RUU_Shooter_ICS_35_S_Sprint_WWE_2.89.651.2_Radio_1.09.00.0706__NV_NV_SPCS_1.43_release_271101_signed.exe into it [via my computer], but didn't realize until reading MrJyrks post that a lower RUU couldn't be used.
I now am relocked (phone does boot up, but can tell the system tweaks are still slogging it), lost the recovery, and wondering what to do... do I try putting recovery back in & using the Negalite 2.95 stock deodex ROM MrJyrks mentioned? If so, how do I use that zip file method verses the exe one I tried thru my computer?
Thanks for the help
You had issues with the RUU because your main version is higher than that contained in the RUU.
Unlock, flash recovery again. Boot into recovery and flash this zip: https://copy.com/wlVvwssXXNN00Pe
That will lower your main version. Relock the bootloader, put the phone into fastboot USB mode, then run the RUU while in fastboot USB mode.
Should be back to stock after that.
long story short i have to send in my phone for repairs i was trying to get rid of my custom rom and install a stock rom but some how i wiped out the entire phone i do however managed to get twrp recovery but can't really do much in there as no files are in my phone and it wont let me side load the stock rom help please?
Ok now dont panic !
Does your phone still have eat least 70% of battery left ? if yes then reboot into the bootloader and relock it and then run the RUU file whitch will return your phone back to stock,and for more detailed info im sry beacuse im currenty on my phone

if your hboot is 1.40 - there is no stock ROM available.

What is your hboot version?
I hope you have Android SDK installed and running in your system?
I guess I have just run into the same issue. I wasn't able to find any help in the "Device Essentials" thread, unfortunately.
I have no rom. ADB doesnt work when phone is in bootloader or recovery (twrp 2.6.3.0) and I can't mount the usb storage to get the rom onto my phone. I miss the days of my samsung captivate....It was so easy!! Thanks for reading.
I guess the key point here is that I can't sideload anything because adb isnt working in recovery. My hboot is 1.40.

I'm trying to fix my bricked HTC Desire 601 with Rogers, and I tried the Telus RUU 4.2.2 and it failed with "Model ID error".
The thing is I think I bought my phone with 4.4.2 update already on it and that might be causing the error.
So I wanted to try using RUU for 4.4.2, but it's not available. What should I do ?
I can lock/unlock bootloader, i'm S-ON so no ROM flashing....
Thanks for any help.

Even if your s-on you can still flash twrp and install roms. You bought your phone new and it already had 4.4.2? Go to the bootloader and check to see what your hboot version is. Although I sold the phone I'll step you through.

Theres your issue, thats the jb hboot. First off make sure your twrp is the correct version. Boot into recovery and mount data and system and use the file browser to make sure its mounting properly. You'll have to find a twrp backup or flashable zip of 4.2.2. Once your back up and running s-off that sucker. Then change your mid to telus' and run the ruu. Then just ota as normal.

No not from HTC dev. Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/des...lockworksenseless-4-2-2-4-4-2-coming-t2845247
Have you checked to ensure twrp is mounting your partitions correctly?

Now that you mention it, I have often seen the errors :
Unable to mount /system
Unable to mount /data
I just tried mount with TWRP and I can't even select System and Date (you have to check the box, and it won't let me check it).
Tried mounting with CWM and can't mount.
I thought that was the point of S-ON ? That you can't access and write in the system partition ?

Good, making progress... Your using the wrong twrp. You'll need to flash the proper one. Not sure which one of these will work but I know for sure one of the 2.7 versions will http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/zaracl
I know this is for zara cl but they work with zara ul as well. I'm not sure but i think the older ones are for jb and the newer for kk. Just try a few until you can mount properly while in recovery, then flash that rom I posted.
S-on just restricts some fastboot commands and /system protection while booted into android, doesn't affect recovery. Some kernels are patched so /system is writable in android even with s-on

Hope we have a solution there ! Thank you for the walkthrough. I'll try it when I have time (exam 2morrow).

Tried every version in the link (and others I found).
They all failed to mount System, Cache, Data.
As I said before I'm not really surprised because I believe S-ON is there to prevent us from doing exactly that.
I think I should look into "fastboot boot" command (already tried and failed but it seemed promising).
Any ideas ?
Thanks again.

I can assure you it's not related to being s-on. Can you get adb access from any of the recoveries? fastboot boot doesn't work for a number of newer HTC devices, unfortunately including that zara so that's a dead end

He has to get recovery working properly first. Good call on the backup though.

I got adb sideload running a while.
Just to test it I transfered a rom via "adb sideload c:/rom.zip"
It actually failed after like 40% transfer with "file corrupt".
When starting adb sideload my log had several errors that could help :
"""
TWRP 2.8.0.1
Unable to recreate /data/media folder
Updating partition details...
Unable to mount /cache
Unable to mount /data
Unable to mount /system
Unable to mount internal storage
Unable to mount /data/media during GUI startup
Unable to mount /cache
Kernel does not hav support for reading SELinux contexts (Might be because I flashed KofilaKernel ?)
Running boot script...
Finished running boot script
Unable to mount /cache
Unable to mount /data/media/TWRP/.twrps when trying to read settings file
Unable to mount /data
MTP Enabled
Using RAM for sideload storage
Etc...
""""
I did, at some point, flashed KofilaKernel (found on in HTC Desire 601/Kernels). I can't find a stock kernel. Could it be messing with TWRP ?
Child's Play what file should I flash ? You can flash a ".img" via recovery ? (Though it was .zip only)
U flashed kofilakernel sense 6.0?

I flashed this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-601/development/kernel-kofilakernel-t2857403
Edit : I flashed the 2.2 version, wich is probably Sense 6.0
