try fastboot
Thanks for the reply can you be a bit more clear on the procedure to be followed?
I mean, can i connect with the device in Debug USB and flash the recovery using fastboot ?
I need some tutorial about how to because I'm scared to brick the device.
Normally I do something only when I've understood what I'm doing and that's why I'm looking for info.
I've read almost all the related posts in the forum but I still feel a bit confused about the CWM update.
I rooted the device and updated the recovery using the Folio 1.4 one via ADB shell with the command: cat /data/recovery.img >/dev/block/mmcblk0p7
I do not know if this command was succesfull but I guess so because I did not receive any error.
Now I need to flash the new recovery to start working and getting familiar with that befor of flashing the Honeycomb ROM.
Thanks for the assistance

Maybe this thread helps you a little bit to find your way to the new recovery:

Thank you. Finally I managed and now I have the CWM flashed. I also learned the fastboot command. and slowly I'm learning... thanks again.

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

ADB Tools Mini SDK
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. It should write recovery and then you can boot into twrp

FINALLY FIXED!!!!!! had to relock bootloader for the ruu to take, smh... such an easy thing to over look, but got back to factory rom.. bot to root again, lol... BIG LESSON LEARNED, thanks for all help
Okay,
So I've had my HTC One S for a while now, and just decided to unlock/root/flash custom ROM tonight. Well, I think I got to tired, and I made a few mistakes.
Everything went well initially. I was able to unlock the bootloader, flash new recovery (clockwork), root the phone and install the stable Cyanagen HTS One S built. Cyanagen never booted past the intro animation screen though. I cleared cashe, dalvik cache, and did a factory reset, and then reflashed the rom. Again, nothing.... just got stuck.
I was pretty tired at this point. Long story short, I accidentally formatted the originally rom/google pack file from the "sd card." Now I can't reflash a rom or anything. It's just going around in circles.
I tried doing a "./fastboot update <filename.zip>" but it just gave me an error about not having any android.txt or something like that. Through some of the research I did, it seems you can't actually update a ROM through fastboot? Is that true? If not, what did I do wrong? I'm on a mac btw...
I was then thinking about "adb" but I don't really know much of anything about it. I booted my phone into recovery mode, then went to install zip from side load, and then type "./adb sideload <filename.zip>" in my terminal window. It started to do something, but in the end, it said device not found.
I'm super tired, I've been up all night trying to "unbrick" my phone. I now am coming to the masses in hopes that I'm just too "newby" at this and I'm missing something stupid. Is there a way to flash a new rom on my phone—and for me to hope that that does the trick and lets me boot up that bad boy.
Oh yea. I forgot the biggest mistake yet! I forgot to do a backup of my device before the new ROM was flashed originally! A lot of stupid mistakes. That's why you don't do these kinds of projects for the first time late at night/early in the morn I guess.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone in advance.
Dd you flash the boot image from the zip file using fastboot.
If not:
Extract the rom zip on your computer which also has fastboot installed on it. Then copy the boot image to the folder where your fastboot is. Then enter into the folder which contains fastboot and the boot image and type fastboot devices after plugging in your device in fastboot mode thorough the bootloader. It should display your phone serial in the command window. Then type fastboot flash boot boot.img then reboot with cm installed and it should work.

more problems
Okay. Maybe I need to start a new thread. I'm having some issues. The phone is up and running in CM. I can make/receive calls.
The problem now? CM is not recognizing my built in internal storage on my HTC One S. There is no actual sd card slot on the HTC One S—There are multiple slots for internal storage, and it doesn't seem to be recognizing that space at all. So, I can't use my camera for example.... and my available space for new apps is very limited (should be 32gb if I remember correctly...)
Also, when it did boot, it didn't go into the normal "set up your google account" that android normally goes into. I did add account in settings, but it doesn't seem to be syncing all my contacts/etc/etc.
Any other thoughts on what else I need to do to get my device working as it actually should? Thanks for all the help again.

... I should mention
Based on my initial message—I did "format SD" at one point when I was attempting to get CM to boot properly initially. Hopefully that didn't jack things up further... When I boot into recover, I'm unable to create a backup or anything like that—it just gives an error when attempting to mount the "sd card."
Any thoughts? Oye. Last time I do late night work on my only phone.

further discovery
Okay, so I did another factory reset just in case—it looks like the factory reset wasn't able to do exactly what it needed either. I saw an error in the formatting of the SD in that process as well. A message like "android-secure" or something like that.
"Error mounting /sdcard/ .android_secure!
"Skipping format..."

Fixed it
Okay. So a couple of things here. Thought you guys may like to be updated on the progress, as it is positive.
1) How I fixed the SD card mounting issue
• I tried re-flashing other recoveries, and tried reformatting the sc card from that (using TWRP vs Clockwork currently)—that DID NOT work
• I was able to get the drive to be recognized by osx (not mountable though—had to attempt to mount through recovery)—I then reformatted to a Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format—when I next plugged my phone into the usb port connected to my computer, it stated that the "sd card (there isn't really one...)" was damaged, and asked if I'd like to reformat it—I did, and Valhalla.
2) I realized that I had forgotten to re-flash gapps after the initial re-flash of CM10—which is why my startup wizard never came about and I was unable to sync to my google account... blah blah. So, I flashed google apps, then cyanogen 10, and here we are.
Going to attempt a nightly later on this week probably. Going to keep stable for a few days. Hah.
I guess we can consider this a closed case for now. Thanks.
Hey guys. I'm a newbie and need help as fast as possible. Thanks in advance..
So my problem initially was that since rooting my OnePlus X, I couldn't flash the new OTA patch. Error showing up was "error executing binary".
Kéno40 replied on my post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...2-0-coming-t3300825/post65214913#post65214913 to reinstall recovery. I got the twrp image from the official site for my device and flashed it. Since then, its stuck in Bootloop. Everytime I try to reboot in any mode, it shows up TWRP.
What I have tried -
I've made a backup on my SD but when I tried to go back to a previous version of TWRP and came back to the new, it isn't showing up in recovery anymore. Though the file is still there in my SD card consuming 5GB space.
I tried this command - make_ext4fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p15 Didn't work.
I've tried wiping cache/dalvik-cache...seriously, I wiped my whole Internal by wiping /data. Didn't work. I even wiped /system losing the OS and then using the recovery to get it back...still no hope.
So..in short, I'm screwed. Badly. Need help asap.
Any suggestions are appreciated. Please don't ask me why I did what I did, just help me out if possible. Meanwhile I think I'll start downloading OOS 2.2.0 full ROM, just in case. But I hope I don't have to.
Edit : I flashed TWRP both in Boot and Recovery..is this happening because of that?

If you can enter in fastboot mode, flash the recovery from fastboot command. Flash blu_sparks recovery, it's better
seems you can still go to TWRP recovery? just flash the OOS 2.2.0 full ROM.

Obviously...
You told the phone to boot to TWRP by flashing it to 'Boot' and that's exactly what is happening.
Just reflash your ROM and you're good to go.

If you didn't know what you were doing, why ask before doing it?
You always have to flash the recovery .img from fastboot mode via adb. Not flashed by twrp.
Reference thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-x/general/discussion-how-to-root-oneplus-x-t3242830
Maybe, just flash from adb the OLD recovery.
From this recovery, reinstall your Save.
Then install new recovery via ADB.
Or flash full ROM, then reflash, VIA ADB, the OLD recovery.
Then same as above. Restora + new recovery.
Boot your phone into fastboot mode, connect it to the PC, in adb directory, open cmd promote, type
fastboot flash recovery twrp. img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(replace twrp. img to the recovery img you downloaded, and put it under the adb directory). Or you can type
fastboot boot twrp.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
, the phone will then boot into the recovery you downloaded, where you can flash a new rom. DON'T flash recovery from recovery!
---------- Post added at 03:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:00 PM ----------
And if you want restore the backup on th sdcard, you might need change the storage location to sdcard in TWRP recovery,
Thanks all you guys. I'm back on with OOS 2.2.0. Had to download the complete ROM and flash it through TWRP.
I didn't wanted to download a whole almost 1 GB zip, so I tried to search for the original OxygenOS boot.img to flash it to boot. It might have worked if I hadn't completely wiped out my OS by wiping /system. Plus its almost impossibe to find that file online...
Anyway, had a nice experience screwing things up and getting back up better than before. Had fun. Learned stuff...so probably I'm not a newbie to rooting anymore.
Thanks guys for your support.
Here's the ROM I downloaded (for future reference) : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24389512218017971

thx man :good:
Thank you so much. For now just gonna be content witht the stock rom.
So I had a completely bricked XT1023 that showed no signs of life. I found a mte of the phone and did the backup to an sdcard with the DD command, then wrote the image to the sdcard with Win32 Diskimager. I put the sdcard in the dead phone and help the Power button for a few seconds and then the screen come on with the unlocked bootloader warning and then continued into the rest of the boot as normal. I the flashed a stock rom via adb and mfastboot, and everything seemed to go as normal but no matter what I do, the phone will only boot if the sdcard with the backup.img is inserted. Without the card, it just stays dead, as it was before. I even tried taking the card out before flashing the stock image but still the same result. Can anyone help me shed some light on this? Thx. Running 4.4.4.
Figured this out. The backup.img was taken from a phone running 5.1. Tried flashing a 5.1 stock rom via mfastboot and it seemed to stick. Now works without the sd card inserted.
OK, progress on this, not completely solved yet though. Now that it will boot without the sd card in it, it only boots to fastboot mode. Nothing else. From there, I can boot via the Normal Boot option and it will then boot to the main system. When the phone is powered off, then turns on, it goes straight to fastboot. I've tried flashing stock roms via adb and fastboot and a stock rom via twrp with the same results, always booting to fastboot mode first.. Also, there is no recovery unless I install a third party such as twrp.

Hello, any way you still have that backup image handy? I have completely bricked XT1023 and looking for backup.img or another working phone.
Situational update: I now have another working XT1023 and try to create bootable sdcard. I tried to use dd command suggested by aravinvnair99
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/backup.img bs=1024 count=168960
But it did not work. I figured path to sdcard was wrong. It should be of=/storage/sdcard1/backup.img
Apparently, bs= and count= are also wrong as I was not able to create full 4GB image using these.
I wonder what correct numbers should be. I would highly appreciate assistance.
