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

OK rebooting now I'll see if it uninstalled everything.
:fingerscrossed:
OK were connected now, now what? :good:
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
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

So now! I could get my devices connected and listed with updating the drivers (Win 8.1) ...
Then I could push the SuperSU.zip and install it... Is there any way to check if it's ready for flashing a ROM?

Im not sure if this will answer your question:
When you upload your rom using sideload will automatically flash it to your device

MANUALLY INSTALLING FULL NOUGAT 7.11 FIRMWARE 2018/03/15(security_patch 2018-02-05) (RECOVERY, BOOT, SYSTEM) Even If Its Soft Bricked Because You Messed Up Somewhere. Files Here Are For Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom ZE553KL Z01HD WW Sku .
Its The Last Nougat Update Before Oreo Was Released.
MORE FIRWARES HERE
Story Time:
As I Remember It.....Condensed Version, This Was Over A Few Days Of Trial And Error, Mainly Because Adb SideLoad Refused To Flash Asus's Stock Firmware Zip Files.
I Messed Up My Friends Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom, ZE553KL.
He Bought Used, He Quickly Updated To Oreo From Within The Phones Update But Was Having Missed Texts And Slow Lte(4g) Speeds, He Wasnt Sure If It Happened On Nougat Which The Phone Was On Originally.
Downgraded To 6.01, Installed Twrp, Magisk, Still Having Same Issues, Flashing An Update Zip W/a Modded Updater Script Via Twrp Caused A Soft Bricked Phone, It Never Completed The Flash, Twrp Backup Didnt Work, Factory Reset A No Go, Couldn't Manually Flash Stock Rom As Adb Sideload Always Gave Errors, Fastboot System images Didnt Help For One Reason Or Another, Phone Was Just Bootlooping Back To The Unlocked Bootloader Menu.
Down Loaded Alot Of Stuff, Read Countless Pages, And Somehow Got The Right Firmware Files(recovery, boot, system img files) That Was Flashable Via Fastboot Extracted From A Zip, My Fix Is Below. These Are Not My Files But I Cant Remember Where I Got Them From As I Dl-ed Alot Of Stuff Trying To Get This Phone To A Running State. No I Havent Tried Oreo Yet, He Has His Phone Back Now And Not Sure When He'll Let Me Play With It Again, Lol.
UPDATE TO THIS STORY
HOWTO FLASH
PREREQUISITES:
Make A Nandroid Backup
If Bootable Remove/Signout Of Google Account
(Might Work With Locked Bootloader, IDK)
Ze553kl(Zenfone3 Zoom) Phone With Unlocked Bootloader(used unlocker apk from asus website when phone was in running state)
Unlocking Bootloader App Available From Asus - was for upto nougat 7.11
Usb Asus Drivers
Usb Debugging Enabled On Phone, Maybe Not But Wont Hurt To Try
Adb Fastboot Program(Included)
Recovery, Boot, And System Img Files Of Nougat 7.11(Included)
Computer Running Windows
Usb Data Cable For Phone
ON PHONE-
If Bootable Enable Usb Debugging, Uncheck Verify Apps Via Usb, Install From Unknown Sources, Remove Google Account
Backup Internal Sdcard - Most Def
Remove Sdcard, Just In Case
Put Phone Into Fast Boot Mode- Unplugged, Phone Powered Off - Vol Up + Power Button Pressed, Hold Both Until Screen Comes On.
Plug Usb In Cable To Phone From Pc.
ON COMPUTER-
From The Download Section Below Dl ADB_FASTBOOT_1.4.1.ZIP File And Extract It Into A New Empty Folder.
Download And Copy The Three .Img Files From The Download Section Below Into This New Adb Folder
HOW TO RUN ADB VIA COMMAND PROMPT? -
From Within Adb-fastboot Folder You Created, Nothing Selected, Hold Down The Shift Key Then Use The Right Mouse Button To Click In Empty Space In The Adb-fastboot Folder, Select "Open Command Window Here" From The Menu That Pops Up.
From Within Command Prompt Type-
Adb Devices
It Should Output A Device With A String Of Letters And Numbers, Thats Your Phone.

Run These 5 "fastboot" Commands One At A Time.
When Each Step Is Completed Run The Next Command, You Can Copy And Paste These Five (5) Fastboot Commands Into The Command Prompt Window
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-zoom-7.11.img
2.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot-zoom-7.11.img
3.
this one @ ~4gb will take awhile to initialize and complete, patience needed
CAN REDO THIS SYSTEM FLASH NOW TO MAKE SURE IT "STICKS"
Code:
fastboot flash system system-zoom-7.11.img
4.
wipes internal sdcard
Code:
fastboot format userdata
5.
Code:
fastboot reboot
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
if you were successfull it will boot into 7.11, takes about 3-5 mins to boot.
IF DID NOT FLASH PROPERLY OR ODD BEHAVIOR AFTER REBOOT THEN REDO STEPS AGAIN....ELSE KEEP READING!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
IF STILL BRICKED OR ODD BEHAVIOR BUT CAN BOOT TO BOOTLOADER/FASTBOOT THEN DO THESE COMMANDS WHEN IN FASTBOOT MODE
Code:
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot -w
fastboot erase splash
fastboot erase cache
THEN RE-BOOT BACK INTO BOOTLOADER AND DO THE FLASH FOR 7.11 FIRMWARE

Thanks for the information...
I can provide you latest system,boot, recovery.img files if you want...
Do you know how to make raw firmware?? Because that could come handy for hard bricked phones.

What do u mean by raw. In what format is it in.
I've converted oreo stock firmware .dat files to .img files but I can't test them as I don't have the phone. My friend seems happy on nougat and I don't think he'll let me flash it on his phone.
I haven't tried dl-ing official stock and seeing if phone will see it as an update to manually self install via nougat recovery or maybe to try adb sideload again.

ciao
God bless you! You made my quite dead phone, live again!
Thank you
I can't update to Oreo via ota... do you know why?
the op here. lol, my friend dropped the phone and now its dead screen, no display/no touch but phone still works.
he doesnt want to get a screen for it as it will cost almost as much as he paid for it.......so its mine now.
been flashing stuff to it, gave it a very hard soft brick, still dealing with that.
my goal was to run it remotely but get adb/usb debugging enabled and get pc trusted by phone. i thought he wanted to sell it as is but decided to give to me to do whatever i want to it
got out of the hard soft brick, installed twrp, use twrp cli, twrp backups and restore, rooted w/magisk, installed 6.0.1 (fluked it), 7.11 using my method above with the extra erase commands, removed frp, got adb /usb debugging enabled and device adb authorized by hacking , got vysor, a remote control mirroring app running, all without a working screen.
i'll write up a tut for any1 else that needs help. fyi, weak screen if dropped even short distance, but he had no cover, but pretty to hard to brick it, imo, ymmv

I had previously rooted and used several roms but recently i went back to developer rom and now when i try to flash twrp via command prompt it shows WRITE TO DEVICE FAILED (INVALID ARGUMENT)! I put all the files properly retried it 100s of times but it just doesn't flash. I flashed twrp last time by this very process!
Using isb 3.0 and 2.0 didnot solve the problem
Please provide a solution!
maybe the bootloader got locked check otherwise erase and flash the whole rom using fastboot mi flash tool

Try booting in recovery again via Fastboot.
- Install Minimal ADB & Fastboot setup (search on Google or XDA)
- Go in Fastboot mode of phone and connect it to PC
- Open command prompt and go to the folder location where minimal ADB is installed
- Type:
fastboot devices
- You should see your device listed with some Alpha-numeric code
- Copy TWRP by Vashishth or official TWRP .img file in the Minimal ADB installation folder
- type:
fastboot boot your-recovery-file-name.img
If your bootloader is not locked, you should be able to see phone rebooted in TWRP else you might need to unlock bootloader again.
Also if in TWRP Install commands are not working, try "Format Data" it is different from Wiping Data partition, Format Data will clear all of your internal storage including photos and videos and files.
After that you can download ROM or your PC and try installing it by sideloading it via adb command.
Good luck!

How do I boot into EDL mode & how to check anti-roll back is on?, anyway to disable it?. I updated my phone to 10.2.3 couple of days back from then on, the network speed is horrible.

All the drivers are installed, I can see my device in fastboot devices but it just refuses to flash TWRP. I can see bootloader status is unlocked!!.

**XT2041-4**
hey folks,
i have the gpower/g8power (XT2041-4) and i was able to unlock the bootloader and i have been able to do the fastboot commands but it fails when i do the fastboot system, product, vbmeta commands for the crdroid, lineage and havok. i got into twrp and tried installing the zips for those roms but those failed too.
i got to the android OS start screen but the touchscreen is unresponsive. i have looked through a lot of the threads for this device and can't find anything that works.
any help will be much appreciated because this is my daily driver.
edit: title should be XT2041-4
your best option would be to connect an otg cable, ( best is to make sure you can have a double connection, one for mouse , on connected to the pc) then get into the phone with the non-touchscreen booted rom, connect it to LMSA , and extract the boot.img image that comes with the rom LMSA downloads. you should have a working touchscreen with the version LMSA downloads .
Reason you need a double connection: you need to accept the connection to your pc from the phone
you could also browse to the settings --> about this phone and take a look at the exact ROM that is installed, and find that image on lollinet , then extract and boot the boot.img from that rom.
Hey, I'm having the same problem but I found a workaround.
you can either go in fastboot mode and enter
fastboot set_active b
or go in TWRP and change the active slot to B then proceed to boot up the phone.
In my case, it showed warning saying "cannot boot into system......file maybe corrupted" etc etc, just choose "factory reset" on that screen and your phone should boot into slot B with stock ROM.
That way you can have a functional phone while waiting for the developers to figure out the kernel problem
Cheers
hey thanks guys for taking the time to respond much appreciated.
somehow, no idea, i magically got the phone back to stock and the touchscreen is working. the bootloader is still unlocked so i am not messing with it. that scared the crap out of me lol

this bugged me out. so are you saying if i did everything right, those ROMs i downloaded still wouldn't technically work? even if i do the slot B thing?

I had a completely different issue with the exact same model. I made a post here asking if anyone had an easy fix, but my guess is that these are just growing pains. Give it a couple months and the roms will likely be much more stable. One of the reasons I bought this phone in the first place is because it usually gets official Lineage OS support at some point. With time, I'm sure things will work great. If you use Windows, going back to stock everything is pretty dead simple with the Lenovo Rescue and Recovery tool, so you can kind of experiment safely if you back everything up.

After some tinkering, I actually figured out my problem. There's a big difference between "fastboot mode" (the one you enter by pressing power and vol-) and "Fastbootd" mode.
I did all my flashing in "fastboot mode" and I got no touch screen afterward.
Then there's another hiccup for me (which is why I didn't go in "fastbootd" mode in the first place): When I type in the command in regular "fastboot mode"
Code:
fastboot reboot fastboot
I got an error message saying "reboot fastboot" is not a valid destination or something down those lines.
The problem being, they only added that option in fastboot version r30, so I had to update my ADB and fastboot environment.
And I ran into yet another problem, no matter what I do, the fastboot command is still run with the older version. I guess I messed up the previous installation and the pathing got messy. I ended up using my work laptop for a clean installation of all drivers and it finally solved my problem. I guess I'm saying you need to clean up previous adb and fastboot drivers before using the new ones, especailly if you installed it systemwise.
Anyways, after I booted into "fastbootd" mode and flashed everything with the latest version of fastboot driver, the phone worked flawlessly.
Hope it helps!
hey thanks again for the responses people!
i have managed to get root on stock but still cant get cutsom roms installed at all. they always fail with these 2 methods
a) twrp
unmounting system....invalid zip file format! error installing zip file '/external_sd/....zip' updating partition details....done'
b)using command line
writing 'system'...
(bootloader) Preflash validation failed
FAILED (remote failure)
i type fastboot devices and it finds my phone. it lists it there but i type fastboot reboot fastboot and it just spams a huge list of commands and nothing changes on the phone. ive seen videos and fastbootd looks just like the old school recovery from droid1 days but idk if thats the same skin look on all devices. i was able to switch the slot from a to b in twrp but that didnt help. i cant figure out how to get into fastboot'D' mode.
im really trying here and im sorry im dumb. as always, any suggestions would be much appreciated. thanks again!

You have no stock recovery, so no fastbootd.
Reflash stock recovery to get fastbootd back

thank you,
i downloaded "XT2041-4_SOFIA_RETUS_10_QPMS30.80-51-5_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip"
is must be the wrong one?
i used the recovery.img from that and did fastboot devices and it showed up so i did "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and it had no errors, it worked just fine so i tried fastboot reboot fastboot but i still got that long list of commands (((
i dont get it, what am i doing wrong?

Like the other user did a couple of posts up, you probably have to update your adb/fastboot version.

ok thanks i did that and got version 1.4.3 it sees my device but when i did the fastboot reboot fastboot i got
fastboot: usage: unknown reboot target fastboot
and nothing happened. does anyone know what that means?
ok yes indeed im a huge idiot. i finally got into fastbootd because i downloaded ADB version R30. THATS the most recent adb version and that did the trick! now i got the fastbootd recovery screen!
regardless, thank you all SOOOOO much for taking the time to respond. much appreciated.
im so excited to get flashing!
peace and love
Boot twrp,( no need to flash) -fastboot boot (whatever you named the recovery img).img- then -adb reboot fastboot-
Should go to fastbootd. future reference
