Okay, I need some help here with my One X+. Here's what happened: I tried installing a kernel and messed it up (pretty sure), then tried restoring it from a backup. Didn't work. Then I wiped the device. Then I sent a rom through adb to the sdcard and tried installing it. Nothing, happened, told me I have no OS installed. So right now my situation is that my i don't know what to do to fix my device. I think i have to install a different kernel and rom that work together but not 100%, some clarification would be nice. I can use adb and fastboot and have access to TWRP.
Device Specs:
Rooted
Unlocked Bootloader
HTC One X+ International Version 64gig Space
If nobody reply's soon I'll delete this thread, although like 60 people have looked at this thread.

Try this send a ROM as u did through adb and install it and flash the appropriate Kernel for that ROM....
The kernel has to be flashed seperately from fastboot mode........
or If u have the nandroid backup restore that and copy the boot.emmc.win from the TWRP backup folder to PC
flash the boot.emmc.win from fastboot mode.....
both would get ur phone boot....

I did flash the rom and it worked fine. The kernel I downloaded was automatically flashed the boot.img for using windows.bat. But when I go to reboot the device TWRP tells me that my phone has no OS...
Go to Viper ROM Thread in Development Section (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2122390) and download the ROM, then download Kernel and Recovery Flasher (http://d-h.st/rNC).
Start Kernel and Recovery Flasher as Administrator on your PC, change to manual mode and put in the fields out of the downloaded files of the flasher (boot.img, modules folder). Put the ROM on your SD via adb, start again in TWRP and flash the ROM.
I assume you flashed your boot.img with kernel you tried to install, so only install a ROM does not help....
Hope it helps!

So after installing the ROM did u wipe any of the partitions....????
after installing just wipe the cache and dalvik cache and nothing else

Why not?? TWRP don't touches your user data, and the other wipes never ever kill you OS... (Sure it makes no sense to delete after installing ROM before 1st startup...)

I installed the ViperX+ Rom, that went smoothly, then I extracted the Kernel_Flasher and started the Venom Flasher went to manual mode and selected the boot image and recovery image the process is fine until it finishes installing then turns off my phone and tries to start in fastboot mode, however the device ignores that and tries booting normally. I tried booting in TWRP but it tells me still no OS.

Hello, I've been trying to install custom rom on my xperia sola but I don't sure how and I don't wanna brick my phone, some people told me to try ROM Manager or X-Parts but in both app's it says that xperia sola is not supported.
Some told me to use flashtool and flash the boot.img but when I downloaded the pure blood rom(that's what I wanna use) there is only META-INF and system folders and no boot.img file, I've searched for some tutorials with good explanations for xperia sola but I haven't found any.
Can someone please give me a good tutorial or explain to me in detail how to install a custom rom? I have rooted and unlocked my bootloader, yet im not quite sure how to enter my recovery....
Thanks for the help!

first you will need to install CWM recovery so that you can flash the custom roms to your device......... once installed you will then have to put the zip file of pure blood rom to your SD card and then install via CWM..........

I've already installed CWM but how do I reboot into it?
And is there any way to make sure my CWM is installed correctly like root cheker or something?
I didn't saw you added a link to CWM, I'll check it and see if I manage to do it, thanks.
To reboot into CWM, turn off the phone. Then press the power button till phone starts booting > Then keep pressing (repeatedly) the Volume Down button till CWM loads

Did you unlock your bootloader? If your bootloader is locked the only thing is flash only ROM for locked bootloader.
For example - you install munjenis CWM, you download ROM for locked bootloader (no CyanogenMod), place ROM on your phone memory, switch off the phone, switch on the phone, on logo pressing many times vol +, enter CWM and choose Install zip.
Thats it.

I tryed to install both Pure blood and Ultimate sola roms, same problem with both.
I can't post links yet, write in youtube "How to Load a Custom ROM on an Android Device " and go to the third video(for me anyway) by MobileUnlimited, that's what I used, I backed up all the data, wiped out data/factory reset, then install zip from sdcard(which btw goes to my internal storage and not my sdcard), then reboot system now.
And I used the CWM you gave me in post #12.
Thanks.
Edit - well, I didn't notice that, but the CWM you gave me is by "munjeni", and in the pure blood post it says: "2. FLASH CWM V5 for unlocked bootloaders... dont use any other...munjeni's "memory tweak + owerclock 1.15 ghz WILL GIVE BOOTLOOP.. and for locked bootloaders used the CWM is available for locked BL stock rom."
Can you give me another .54 CWM?

Hello there,
I've had my OneX+ for a few months already and I've been using TWRP for quite a while. A few weeks ago, though, I flashed ViperX ROM and their TWRP-mod recovery. The recovery worked for a while but then the phone decided to simply not boot into recovery at all and instead rebooting into the ROM again. I tried reflashing the recovery and using CWM instead of TWRP. CWM seems to work but when I try to do a backup it just reboots back into ROM after it seems like it almost finished the backup, if I try to Factory reset/wipe anything the phone again simply just reboots to ROM ...
I really have no idea what to do now, plzhalp.

Hi Seleren...
Can you specify which phone version you have? AT&T/TELUS or International?
That would really help us to guide you to the good solution. Don't worry you can not brick your device with patience you'll be back on track.
i had an issue like this a while back. open up an abd and run fastboot erase cache, fastboot flash recovery (yourrecoveryname).img, then fastboot erase cache again. mine wouldnt boot into twrp after flashing a rom, it would show the teamwin screen then boot into the rom and these steps fixed it.

Tried that already, nothing changed at all, TWRP logo shows up and then the phone reboots to ROM. CWM works partially as I said, it reboots when I tell it do do anything (backup/wipe/flash) and the phone is unaffected.
Bump. Help please, I tried flashing another kernel but that didn't help. I can't even wipe or flash another ROM in CWM.
Re: [Q] Recovery problems - unable to boot into TWRP, CWM fails
Try redownloading the recovery and rewriting it. It may be a bad download.

Re: [Q] Recovery problems - unable to boot into TWRP, CWM fails
Flash the kernel and then the recovery with fastboot and see what happens.
Download a fresh recovery for your International (ENRC2B) model here.
Put this file in the platform-tools of your SDK folder.
Plug the USB cable coming from your computer to your phone.
Then open a command prompt window and type : adb devices (you should see your serial at the screen)
Again type : adb reboot-bootloader (Enter)
Type again this command : fastboot devices (you should see your serial at the screen)
Type this command (if serial is successful) : fastboot flash recovery your_recovery_name.img (Enter)
Clear cache with : fastboot erase cache (Enter)
Once done unplug your USB cable, click one time on Power button.
One Volume rocker down to select Recovery.
Confirm by clicking on Power button to reboot in Recovery.
Try to flash an International ROM only.
What result you obtain by doing this?
@Seleren I would be interested to know if the above worked for you? Also useful if anyone else gets this problem

I've already tried that numerous times, I can get to erasing cache etc but once I try to boot into the recovery ... I'm done. TWRP won't boot even after erasing cache. CWM fails at wiping/backuping/flashing and just reboots without any notice at all. I'm really out of ideas now.
Sorry for a bit late answer.
This is really strange. Are you sure you are correctly rooted? Which method have you followed to root your phone? The above method I gave you, I have done this numerous times, switching from CWM recovery to TWRP recovery to access different backup on my phone, and it never fails on me.
Are you sure that your SDK folder is well installed and fully functional? Are HTC's drivers correctly configured? What is your phone responding to you when you type : adb devices?

Yes, I am correctly rooted, I've rooted numerous phones, I unlocked using the official HTC method. I could say I'm not a complete noob to Android. I wouldn't even post here if I didn't try all the standard procedures.
I flashed the Non-touch CWM yesterday and nothing changed (not that I expected it to). I decided I'll try flashing the bootloader in the end but I have to back up my whole SDCard before that ...
Bump.
SALVATION
Well, since I don't want to be like others who just say "Solved", here's the solution I came up with.
1. Get your new ROM's zip to your SDCard
2. Flash CWM since TWRP won't boot
3. Flash ROM from CWM, it will be flashed even though the phone will unexpectedly reboot.
4. Flash the bootImage from fastboot (Thank god at least that works)
5. Go back to recovery, go to Mounts menu and wipe every options you can (cache, data, system)
6. You will most probably lose your SDCard data too.
7. Reflash the ROM you wanted.
8. Voila.
PS: Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any damage to your device that may occur while using this procedure.
Here something strange I've been encountering... Every time I flash a boot.img over TWRP it won't boot to TWRP. I have to flash the recovery over the boot.img.

5. Go back to recovery, go to Mounts menu and wipe every options you can (cache, data, system)
6. You will most probably lose your SDCard data too.
7. Reflash the ROM you wanted.
8. Voila.

I wish that was the problem, I tried quite a few versions, including the one from ALL IN ONE toolkit, an older version that previously worked, the latest version and the ViperX version. Trust me, that was not the problem.

What Lloir meant to say was that the boot.img has nothing to do with the recovery, so flashing a boot.img will NOT change your recovery to so-said TWRP.
TWRP is being flashed by a different command namely 'flash recovery' instead of 'flash boot' like previously mentioned boot.img
Alright, so i have an EVO 4g lte and i attempted to root it today. It didnt turn out very well to say the least... I unlocked bootloader and flashed TWRP recovery.I then flashed superSU, and at the same time i flashed a custom rom and gapps zip. Then hit reboot. It has not booted up since.. It will just sit at the white HTC screen. i tried clearing cache and Dalvik cache, also did a factory reset. tried flashing cm10 rom onto the device as well as a rooted stock rom. nothing works! the farthest i have gotten was with the cm10 rom and it went to the cyanogenmod boot logo but was in bootloop still. I downloaded the ADT tool bundle but the phone wont show up on the device list. Can anyone help? im completely stumped.. Im fairly new to rooting and custom roms, but i have rooted multiple tablets and samsung galaxy phones and havent had any issues. this is my only phone also, i just gave my backup to my mother because her phone broke... please if anyone knows how to fix this let me know. when i boot into recovery mode it says Tampered and Unlocked at the top as well as S-On. I can also go into TWRP recovery with no problems. just cant use fastboot with my computer (windows 7 PC).
I am pretty sure i know what i did wrong, I flashed SuperSU to gain root at the same time i flashed the custom rom and gapps.. on all the other devices i would reboot after root and then flash the custom rom seperately.. but is there a way to correct my mistake?
Since you are s-on you have to fastboot flash the boot.img/kernel first and then flash CM and gapps
Any questions PM me
OK sorry to be a noob but how do I do that? I used cmd.exe while rooting but now it won't recognize my device. Much thanks for any help!!
Sent from my GT-P5110 using xda app
If in bootloader type fastboot devices
In recovery type adb devices
See if you get a reply
In fast boot USB menu on the phone, I typed fastboot devices on cmd and it came up blank.

Sounds like a driver issue
1.Uninstall everything HTC from your PC
2.Reboot your PC
3.Plug your phone in and it will load a bunch of drivers
4.Try the command again
If that does not work get the latest drivers from HERE use the ones dated 6/6/13
and don't forget the BMP drivers towards the bottom of post 1

PC and phone are talking ?
fastboot devices
yes they are talking now. fastboot devices and my phone shows up.
i tried fastboot flash boot.img but it wont recognize the command, i placed the boot.img file into the platform-tools folder inside my C drive. what am i doing wrong? its late at night and im frustrated so i know im screwing something up...
ok good BTW which version of twrp are you using? Let me know before you continue.
pull the boot.img from the rom zip and copy it to the folder you opened your cmd window from
then type fastboot boot boot.img
once it says successful press the power button to return to HBOOT and use the vol keys to navigate to recovery
Once there choose wipe and wipe cache/dalvik cahce/system/data or factory reset depending which version of twrp you are using
then flash CM and gapps
C:\Users\Corey>fastboot boot boot.img
cannot load 'boot.img': No error
thats what i typed in and thats what it said back to me. not quite sure what the problem is.
the boot.img is placed in the same folder as the fastboot application

same thing, cannot load unknown error. also i am using twrp 2.6.0.0
Ok lets try something different at least it will get you up and running
Get twrp v2.4.1.0 from http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/jewel
put it in the same folder you are using and we will downgrade your twrp for now
copy and paste this in the cmd window
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.4.1.0-jewel.img
then fastboot erase cache
ok got the twrp done succesfully as well as the wipe cache. whats next? i think i figured out what i was doing wrong, i hadnt opened the file directory. cd downloads, cd android files, etc.
should i try going into recovery now on the phone and flash a rom, or should we stay on fastboot and push the boot.img?
Easiest way to open a cmd window is to press shift and right click inside the folder and choose open cdm window here
That way you know you are in the correct folder.
Yeah go ahead and try to flash the boot.img again

Flashing the "recovery_signed.img" inside the folder of this Download would be helpful?

There is a dual sim rom in one of these threads, flash that and after that flash the correct stock recovery.
And next time read carefully because this forum is not for the the Desire X dual sim

Searched, couldn't find any dual sim roms apart from the one in this thread

thanks for your help though..
This is what i plan to do :
Download and flash TWRP for t329w
Transfer http://pan.baidu.com/s/122oNL (version 1) to SD Card and the recovery_signed.img and boot_signed.img to SC Card
Reboot phone to recovery
Choose Wipe then Swipe to Factory Reset
or the best is Select Advance Wipe, tick all except sdcard then swipe to wipe
Select Install and select the version1 rom.zip then swipe to confirm flash
Wait until the installation is finished
Reboot phone to fastboot and connect it to your PC
Open command prompt, lead it to folder where you installed adb and fastboot and issue commands:
fastboot flash recovery C:\recovery_signed.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
fastboot flash boot c:\boot_signed.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot

One last thing, I forgot to mention I had taken a NAndroid backup before installing the ROM. I restored it and did a full wipe/factory reset, but I think the kernel is the problem (it shows the kernel used by the single sim ROM)
So as of now, I'm just going to flash the boot and recovery, coz boot_signed should change the kernel.
Also, this folder contains other images such as radio, hboot, dzdata etc. what are these for and would they help?
Thanks a lot for your help!!

After restoring Nandroid, just fastboot flash the boot_signed.img and reboot and see whether it boot. It should work if the custom recovery is working well for your device. No need to fastboot flash recovery_signed.img first. Just boot and see whether it works. If it works then only you fastboot flash the recovery_signed.img if you want to.
Don't worry about other images as you can't flash those on a S-On device.

What do you mean shows Error : Cannot open boot.emmc.win ? boot.emmc.win is created by a TWRP recovery only. If there is one you don't have to "open" it, just copy it to your fastboot folder
Now you mentioned you use nexus prime as the recovery do you mean you use NexusRecovery ? Can you list here the file names inside the nandroid backup ? I don't think you have boot.emmc.win in NexusRecovery

Hmm, i went to Nandroid restore > Advanced restore > Restore boot
doesn't boot.
tried restoring the whole backup, doesn't boot.
even a wipe data/factory reset doesn't make it boot!
Will taking it to an HTC centre help? (I'm ready to pay some amt of money.)
Oh no... you don't know what fastboot flash means ? It is not using the recovery to restore boot. You need to copy the boot.img to your PC where you have all your fastboot files in a folder.
Try again this way as I don't have my PC with me. Replying to you with someone else PC.
In my ROM threads, you will see Boot.img_Installer_RCx.x.zip in post #1. Download any of them then do the following
1. Download theBoot.img_Installer_RCx.x.zip and extract it on your PC desktop
2. Reboot your DX to bootloader and connect to your PC (you should see the word "fastboot usb" in red color on the bootloader)
3. Open the Boot.img_Installer_RCx.x folder that you extracted, you should see a batch file Install Boot.img.bat there
4. Replace the boot.img with your boot.img (don't use the one that already in the folder). Try the boot_signed.img that you have, rename it to boot.img
5. Run that Install Boot.img.bat and when it stop just press any key to exit
6. Reboot
And yes, taking it to HTC centre will help but of course you need to pay them

Ohh, I just read it properly. I know what fastboot flash means. Using Android SDK > Platform tools > Shift+rightclick > open as command prompt > fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img
I've already done it. This boot_signed.img in this thread seems weird.
After installing the custom ROM, restoring my nandroid backup, my phone was booting, but without the sim being recognized.
So I fastboot flashed the above (second post of this thread) boot_signed.img from c:\
But THAT boot_signed.img led to my phone being stuck in a bootloop > white start screen > turns black > try switching it on again > same thing
Hoped I could restore the nandroid boot using recovery advanced restore, but didn't work.
Will try fastboot flashing the MIUI boot.img (coz that's what was working initially, though without a sim, and the one in this thread's second post doesn't have a source), atleast that should get my phone booting. And will try searching for the boot of my nexus recovery backup, coz that will be the stock boot.img.
My last thing before I go to HTC .

Hi, i recently got new phone and manage to break it in few hours trying to install cm-11-20140130-NIGHTLY-enrc2b and forgot to do nandroid backup.
I want to go back to stock rom but i can't figure out how to do anything.
After i cut my sim card to mini size i don't have any other phone to use with it so i need to fix it asap. Please anyone help.
Flash the boot img in fastboot . Just google how to flash fast boot. The boot is located in the rom zip . Or try to run the latest ruu specific for your phone

You have a custom recovery installed , i suppose..TWRP? you should ADB sideload a custom rom. If you have international or AT&t version both are available in the Rom sections(http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-x2/development?nocache=1) . Before doing sideload erase all.
Goodluck.
I have CWM installed now, tried to install from sideload but didn't work, "error: device not found" or "device offline"
Installed TWRP and adb sideload don't work anyway. Or wait, it worked. Sending now.
After installing, i press Reboot System and "No OS Installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot?" warning shows up. After rebooting i'm back to start.
Just tried to install other custom rom and still phone won't go past that screen.
ok stop
breathe
sideload a new rom on twrp (is a pain) it will never flash 1st time
once it's "sideloaded" you can install a zip called sieload.zip under the rom install menu.
MAKE SURE you wipe
data (not storage) system and cache
INSTALL the rom
fastboot flash boot boot.img in the bootloader
reboot
adb shows up "error: closed"
adb shows up "error: closed"
used adb kill-server and start-server and error gone
And still does not start, stuck at white htc screen.

ok, you NEED the boot.img from the zip file.
so on your pc open up the zip, and extract boot.img to the adb folder
then reboot your device into bootloader and do

tried first installing rom then boot.img and vice versa but still nothing works.

I don't know why but it never install rom, it says that installation is complete, but it's not.
