For people who came for an answer, here it is.
download android sdk
download fastboot drivers
get clockworkmod img and rename to imgfile.img
put img in adb tools
put adb, adbwinapi, fastboot, and the img file in c:/Android
plug your phone to the computer
enter the bootloader
click on recovery or fastboot doesnt matter since both will now take you to fastboot
goto computer
type in run in start menu
type cmd in run and hit enter
type cd c:\Android
type fastboot boot imgfile.img
you are now in recovery
go to mounts and storage and mount your device as a disk drive
download any rom to your computer doesnt really matter and put in on your sdcard. If you already have a rom on there then just use that.
unmount your phone
go to wipe data/factory reset and when it finishes flash the rom
once rom is done flashing reboot into android again.
your phone is partially fixed
now go to the market (if you flashed cm then flash the gapps.zip) and download "rom manager"
Then click on download clockworkmod 5.0.0.2 or something like that (first option)
Now go to rom manager and restore your backup that u made (If there was 1 before)
now it will be fixed and your bootloader will take u to recovery instead of fastboot when you click recovery xD
thanks xda
I flashed a rom and the rom must have been corrupted or something and now my phone is stuck rebooting and when I try to go to recovery or any option it takes me to fastboot so now my phone is basically bricked
Your phone is not bricked since your still able to turn it on.
Can you enter fasboot USB?

well it doesnt really turn on its a boot loop but whatever and fastboot is weird it doesnt want to work.
If your bootloader is unlocked make sure you flash the boot.img through fastboot and make sure you wipe

Do you have the proper drivers installed

Are you S-Off or S-On? If S-Off, download a PG86IMG.zip of a recovery, and use your bootloader to flash recovery. From that point, just restore a backup or reflash a ROM. If you're not S-Off, I'd say you should try running an RUU, since you can't get fastboot to work. But I think you need to relock your device to run an RUU (if you're S on/ HTC Unlocked), so you'd still need fastboot. Do you have a different USB cable to try? I've seen them fail before even though they still work to charge.

Sounds like the drivers arn't installed right.. Like you said if he is S-ON and relocked he can run a RUU exe if he is CDMA...
If you are s off then you just need to reload another recovery. And then access a backup of a rom! Or just flash a new one. I had a issue just like this yesterday where my recovery was broken for some reason and had to go from twrp. 2.1 back to 1.1.1 and load another rom.

Well i put the sdcard in a bberry but a pg6img.img in my sdcard but bootloader doesnt do anything
I am cdma, s-off unlocked with revolutionary kernel 1.4
oops not kernel hboot
Ok, fail, i dont think i hav fastboot drivers downloading now
now cmd is stuck on "sending recovery"
Did you place a copy of the img into your fast boot folder and one in your adb tools folder ???

You should only have used the one. It seems others have been able to correct the issue by simply reformatting the card with the phone, not via a USB connection to a computer.

download a kernel, flash it from fastboot. Then reboot, and your ROM will load. Then fix the SDCARD, and try again.

Pull your battery.. reinsert and hold volume down and the power button. Make sure phone is plugged in or replug in phone if you took it off to reboot. Should be in Hboot now, press power to select fastboot if it is white lettering over blue background. If it is red background your already in fastboot and if connected should say fastbootusb.
1. open a copy of the rom your on either with 7 zip or since your not adding anything to it unzip it .
2. find the folder that says kernel, now you will either see a PH98IMG.zip or you will see a file that his white with a silver circle called boot. That is the raw boot.img. If it is the ph zip simply unzip it and you will see the boot.img.
3. Now , remove the boot.img and place it in the same folder your fastboot is located , generally the place you unlocked with.
4. Then, bring up a command prompt the same way you did to unlock. change directory if needed by cd c:\thenthenameofthefoldrecontainingfastboot.
5. Simply type fastboot boot boot.img
6. you will see sending " size of img".. receiving "size of img ", then writing .. and it will end and tell you how many seconds it took.
Now, simply use the reboot selection from bootloader or with the command prompt type abd reboot and your phone should reboot and you will be back on your rom.
The reason you keep booting to the jBear screen is because the jBear process replaced your KERNEL. You need to find the kernel img file for YOUR operating system or ROM. If you are on GB, find a GB kernel. If on the ICS Leak, you need to find the ICS Leak kernel. If on a ROM, get that ROM's kernel file.
Then the commands on the PC are:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
Another option is to use Hansoon's Rezound All-in-one-kit to flash the stock kernel for you.

no offense, but if you honestly cannot at least search to figure out how to do a fastboot command as simple as fastboot flash, then you should stay clear of s-off...

fairly new to rooting, so sorry if the fix is simple (hoping it is). i have a evo 4g lte, rooted it, been having issues flashing cm10, so i would reflash a previously saved working rom, no problems. i have been using twrp for recovery. so i switched to cwmr (HUGE MISTAKE)to try and see if that would somehow fix why everytime i was flashing cm10 my phone would never load past the loading screen ( android in middle of revolving circle). basically my problem is, in recovery i cant mount ext-sd or the internal sd, i can "see" my saved backups, but cant flash them, when i try it says" no files found" i played with things for a while, somehow got some old downloaded cm10 version to work, so i atleast have a working phone, but cant mount my sdcard under storage which i need done to flash twrp back into my phone. ive been reading on how to use termianl emulator to mount sd card, but cant figuer that out, any help would be muchly appreciated, sorry for long description of my issue, i just want to be able to flash twrp, reboot into recovery and restore back to a previously working rom!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!
also... cm update is constantly running, cant stop it, my pc doesnt recognize my phone, cant mount in recovery or in settings. tried copy and pasting the saved zip files using a root browser app to relocate them and trying to reboot into recovery and flashing them, that does work... please help!!!!
If you can get into terminal emulator, then just flash twrp using that. The directions are on their website.

too late, i kept playing around with everything in recovery mode, and apprently made things worse, now the phone will recognize my ext sd and not the internal sd, which is what u need to use terminal emulator to reflash twrp, any other suggestions???
You can update recovery image through fastboot or place the twrp update zip (rename PJ75IMG.zip) on external and boot to bootloader. As for internal being corrupt, boot into twrp and mount as USB storage and format through pc

Extract this and then open the folder and hold shift+select and right click. In the menu select open command window here. Put your phone in fastboot and connect to pc. Type fastboot devices to make sure its connected. Then type fastboot flash recovery "filename.img" filename being what ever the name of the recovery file is.

Alright lads, I got a major issue that is kicking my ass. I need your help please.
Basically the HTC ONE X+ keeps getting error closed in ADB sideload whenever I try to sideload a rom or do anything else for the matter.
adb usb = Error Closed
Adb push and pull = Error Closed.
I can get my device listed but thats about it.
The Issue goes further. I relocked the bootloader in order to install the RUU. Yet I get the error 131 custormer ID error.
I can't access the SD partition on the my computer screen as it doesn't show.
I can't get back to stock rom.
I can't install a new rom.
I can unlock and relock my bootloader.
I can install TWRP and CWM.
I can use fastboot usb. [Very limited]
The issue with fastboot usb is that it keeps saying error device not found and then it refuses to do anything.
I have installed and reinstalled the ADB drivers, SDK manager and htc sync manager.
The biggest issue at the moment is that I can't install any rom whatsoever.
Which basically means, its a potato.
HALLLLP. The htc one x is a international version. UK Vodafone more specifically. Hboot-1.35.0000
Oh yeah, the mount does not work in TWRP and CWM.
I tried different USB ports, cables and even a different computer.
Everything has been wiped. I factory reset it and wiped out other parts in TWRP and CWM in an effort to start from scratch.
Nothing seems to work though...
Edit: I narrowed down the issue
It seems that i can't flash boot.img when my bootloader is unlocked as:
'boot.img'...FAILED (command write failed (Unknown error))
therefore I can't load roms without it crashing on me.
I can however put things into the 'sd card' by loading a broken rom [crashes to process android]. But thats about it. so far.
Oh I also updated the hboot to 1.72

If you can push files on sd card, use the TWRP back-up from here to restore to stock.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2414238
You'll at least get it working again.
Thanks, somehow when I updated the bootloader, the boot.img restriction got lifted after I just entered the command again when 'unknown failure' came up. I was at this point able to access the sd card under a buggy rom start-up.I used TWRP to flash a new rom.
Fixed.

To anyone in the same situation adb sideload does not transfer the file to the sdcard permanently. To sideload correctly, you need to pick that option from the recovery first and then when the phone is waiting for the sideload type:
adb sideload <PACKAGE>
after some hours of research mine worked (TWRP v2.7.0.1)

Can you see your phone connected?
adb devices
Or
adb usb
If you're able then in sideload
Go to command prompt on your computer and type
adb sideload (and the file you want to upload)
adb sideload file.zip

Thank you!
So, here's my dilemma. I'm trying to re-install my stock RUU, but it won't seem to initiate when I open the file. Yes, the set up wizard starts properly, but once I accept T&C ...it just goes away without starting up the process.
My theory is that ADB won't relay commands to my phone while in fastboot mode. When my phone is booted up and I open an cmd terminal in the adb folder, it works just fine. Sees my device perfectly and can reboot to bootloader, but once in bootloader no longer recognizes any further adb commands.
This used to work perfectly before......before I had to re-image the HDD on my PC. I feel like I must be missing a driver somewhere, but I've checked and rechecked everything I know and everything SEEMS to be in order. What on earth could I be missing??
I'm trying to wipe my phone to stock since I can't receive phone calls while running ViperM8 ROM any longer. Expert advice here would be greatly appreciated.
When your phone is in bootloader, it is in fastboot mode and will only accept fastboot commands, not adb. Be sure you have fastboot drivers. Best all in one drivers is installing Java SDK. That is how I got fastboot to work. You could alternatively run an ruu.zip from the root of the SD card.

That makes sense since I can use "adb reboot bootloader" when the phone is booted just fine, but the command "adb devices" doesn't register anything. I used to be able to run my RUU exe from my PC with my phone in bootloader mode just fine, but now it just doesn't seem to work.
So I'm guessing I just need to find the actual RUU zip and manually install it using "fastboot oem rebootRUU" ?
Thanks for the response.
