thanks!
[HTC One X] Alex240188:
i am not 100% certain if it has changed with the newer htc phones but in the past you have always had to have stock recovery to get OTA updates
[HTC One X] zesty2k:
baffled

ok, so ive managed to root previous HTC phones and can read the instructions...

the only issue i have is that when i try to download the interim CWM i get a page of garbled letters and numbers but nothing downloads?

I've unlocked the bootloader via HTCdev so im at this last stage!

Am i doing something stupidly wrong?

please help as i cant stand stock :-)
[HTC One X] preacher65:
Do you get to the Modaco download page with a Captcha-type security question?
[HTC One X] zesty2k:
yup...i type that in and then get a page of garbage. nothing downloads at all. im on a mac and have tried diff browsers but that doesnt seem to be the issue?
[HTC One X] preacher65:
Hm, it does seem browser related though. I'll PM you.
[HTC One X] zesty2k:
fantastic! thats very much :-) firefox sucks as even with those links it failed.
[HTC One X] preacher65:
But did it work with a different browser or still no luck?

Hi guys

I flashed the recovery fine on my Black One X , 3-4 days ago.

But today, I sold my Black One X and bought a White One X instead.

My question is can I install this recovery somehow from my phone without using the PC and fastboot. I mean can i copy the recvovery img and goto bootloader and flash from bootloader?

I know Paul mentioned 2 methods and I am not sure what is his 2nd method.
[HTC One X] Alex240188:
no, you need to have an unlocked bootloader and for that you are going to have to plug in and do a couple of fastboot commands just to unlock

the second method of installing recovery is to just fastboot boot however this doesnt work on our HOX's at the moment due to a problem with the bootloader
[HTC One X] doublecheese:
Yes but I already unlocked the bootloader thru htcdev.com also also rooted.

Just too lazy to open my laptop and flash the recovery through fastboot.

So can I or not ?
[HTC One X] Alex240188:
no, regardless there only 2 ways to flash a recovery;

1. fastboot flash/boot recovery

2. adb write_raw_image

however you need to be on a rooted rom to do 2. and im not even sure if it works on the HOX
[HTC One X] Litewave:
I'm trying to install ClockworkMod Touch Recovery but that doesn't seem to be working. I have followed the guide from htcdev.com to unlock the boot loader.

I have booted my One X into recovery mode but after the "Sync" logo I get the Red Triangle with an Red Exclamation mark. When I enter the Power + Volume Up button I see messages like: E:Failed to open loopdevice (no such file or directory) and E:Failed to mount /sdcard (No such file or directory)

Can you please help?
[HTC One X] doublecheese:
Ok, I am back to work anyway and I will flash it through Fastboot just like last time.

My idea was to flash it through the phone itself during last night while matching TV and playing with my daughter :)

I never have enough time to do everything seperatly :)
[HTC One X] Try4Ce:
I noticed some issues with CWM lately.

1. Sometimes it doesnt boot into recovery. I tried from Quickboot, Advanced Power Menu (MOD) or Fastboot / Bootloader.

Screen just flickers black for a nanosecond, then the system reboots regulary. I first have to completely shut down the phone in order to get back into clockwork recovery.

2. Happens occasionally, but sometimes, when a flashable zip is about to be flashed, the Clockwork Recovery just crashes and reboots the phone. I guess its at a point where partitions are being mounted. Sometimes it happens @ unmounting as well, rebooting the device directly after a zip-flash.
[HTC One X] :
Can confirm similar issues.

On my APM it happens sometimes that when when I press "reboot to recovery" it just reboots instead of booting to recovery (-:

My phone also rebooted yesterday when I wanted to flash my Leedroid Tweaks Mod after installing a rom.

..but actuall nothing really nothing big, can live with it.
[HTC One X] :
Also having a problem. After I unlocked through HTCDev and installed this recovery, the first thing I did was a backup. Worked fine.

However now running LeeDroid, and I can't complete a nandroid backup. It reboots half way through every time. I have yet to try reflashing it in fastboot, but I would have thought is something had gone wrong there, the first backup wouldn't have completed. Confirm the md5 checked out after the download.
[HTC One X] Alex240188:
you need to flash the new recovery through fastboot not in the stock recovery

do power + volume down when switched off

select fastboot with volume up/down then press power to select

whilst in fastboot plug in usb and do the fastboot flash recovery "name of recovery".img once that has completed you can reboot and go into recovery and you will see the new clockwork mod
[HTC One X] ckpv5:
Had the same issue. Then I untick "fast boot" in settings-power; since then I don't have the issue anymore. BTW I'm using quick boot app to reboot, reboot to recovery & etc.

And press power button + vol down works as it should too (no need to power off first)
[HTC One X] tak.japan:
having a huge issue...

Screwed up in the installation of the rom, so I can't even boot to a stock rom.

Tried installing stock ruu, but tells me the battery is less than 30%.

the device will not stay turned off to charge, and if it does, it stops charging within 5-10 minutes.

I am lost to what I can do... even if I have 10% of charge, if there is a usb storage, I could probably flash a rom through recovery...

Any news on the usb mount feature through recovery? or anybody know how I can force it to turnoff and charge this thing?
[HTC One X] :
OK tried again. Reflashed downloaded and reflashed the recovery.

It still reboots the instant 'Backing up data' appears.

Any thoughts?
[HTC One X] Alex240188:
do you have the android-sdk installed on your computer, if so use adb to push a custom rom to your /sdcard

i have a basic adb/fastboot package here so il write you some nice instructions

1. Download Fastboot/ADB Files

2. Extract the zip to somewhere (C:\fastboot for example)

3. Copy your custom rom to the same folder and rename it rom.zip

4. open a command prompt

5. cd to your directory cd c:\fastboot

6. plug your phone in and turn it on

7. wait until it starts bootlooping then type in your command prompt adb shell stop

it will probably say adb server is out of date killing

sometimes you have to type it in a couple of times before it actually works (some bug with adb at the minute)

Once completed you should find it stops bootlooping and is just stuck on the boot screen (this is good)

8. now type in adb push rom.zip /sdcard/

again you will probably see the adb server is out of date killing...

after a while it should say successfull and how much it has transferred (may get error about the daemon didn't ack, just redo the command and it will eventually send)

9. power down your phone by holding power button for 10 seconds

10. power on with power + volume down

11. select recovery and hit power

you should now find a custom rom on your sdcard ready to be flashed

---------- Post added at 10:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:26 PM ----------

can also confirm this issue however this is an interim recovery which paul slapped together to give us the ability to install roms, there are bound to be bugs, wait to see the official CWM and hopefully little things will be sorted
[HTC One X] bigdyl69:
Thanks for clarifying that for me. I'm still wondering though if I would lose the Root on my phone if I flashed back the original recovery file posted on Modaco?
[HTC One X] tak.japan:
thanks for the input, I'm not having boot looping issue. myphone just gets stuck at white screen with "HTC quietly..." .

when I type in adb shell stop with phone in fastboot mode, I get the following error...

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *

error: device not found

all additional command returns. I also tried o nthe white screen (not bootloader), I'm still getting the same error.

error: device not found
[HTC One X] kedirakevo:
guys i cant download the boot files from modaco, catchpha image not working, can anyone send me their files or something?
[HTC One X] amders:
i'm accidentally having same problem like you. i formated the sdcard from recovery then factory wipe, stupidly i forgot to put some custom os to sd card, so my phone was empty without any os only recovery and bootloader.

tried many times, until i browsing over the net, this what i do, i flash to shipping recovery, then relock again the bootloader, then flash the ruu with the exactly version for my 1x and viola my 1x revived again..
[HTC One X] DooMLoRD:
you guys should stop using "superwipe" especially when we cant access ADB thru recovery
[HTC One X] paulobrien:
I might be missing somethimg, but i've never really understood the point of 'superwipe'...

P
[HTC One X] jmkhenka:
Same here. But some people think formatting partitions is magical in some way.

clearing /data is enough. If the rom installer (.zip) is made properly it will format /system before it copies the new files there.

I have had it happen once that a rom didnt clear /system before install. Ending upp in a weird aosp/sense mix rom that kept crashing.

So clear data (where user data is stored) and Cache (where cache is, files that usualy are not needed only for speeding things upp and storing temp-files, everything there is generaly just crap once you restart and removed automaticly or just overwritten).

a bonus of NOT USEING SUPERWHIPE is that you save ROM-lifetime, making less writes to the sectors - they got a finite lifetime!

and i HATE seeing tips like "clear dalvik/cache 5 times before and after bla bla bla". It's just stupid and dont acctualy make a diffrence - once formatted always formatted.. there is no way two formats are better then one.
[HTC One X] DooMLoRD:
Me neither...

That's what the Roms updater script should do...
[HTC One X] tak.japan:
was trying to do the same for couple of days, but have been getting usb connection error. I couldn't for the longest time figure out why I was having this issue. The last thing I did was install HTC sync thinking thinking I'll try anything.... But then it magically worked!

I hate these software like HTC sync and Samsung Kies , but this time I'm very thankful for it:) I was even considering sending it back to HTC to let them figure it out, but thankfully mywallet is safe!
[HTC One X] mattman83:
You can uninstall HTC Sync again if you like, just leave the USB drivers installed. You can only get them by installing sync though... wish they had a separate package.

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Syraphin:
hey, new to the site and new to the wildfire and im already having a few problems.

i just bought mines off my uncle, who always used it on o2-ire without any problems. he never used any uk simcard because he thought the fone was locked.

i tried my simcard and it says "your simcard does not allow connect to this network" or "error while searching for network". as it wouldnt find a network i figured it was locked, so i went and bought an unlock code.

problem is, i cant find where to put it. i turn the fone on with a simcard (ive tried a few on different networks), and it never asks me for the code, yet it still cant find a network.

ive tried my girlfriends mothers o2-ireland and that still works.

just wondering why it works for o2-ireland and not on my o2-uk or vodafone-uk and doesnt ask for the network unlock code.

sorry if this seems jumbled and rambeling, im just trying to explain everything.

thanks in advance for any help.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
Get a different carrier similar card. Not the ones you have been using. Put it in and boot the phone, it should come up with a screen telling you to input the code to unlock. Some Sims just don't give you the screen :D

Try a 3 sim if you can.

Hi all,

I am trying to update my phone to a new firmware using odin. I am following the instructions in this thread. However after odin has done its thing, it displays "PASS!", my phone reboots but then hangs on the boot animation. I have left it for about 20 mins and tried reflashing the rom with no luck.

I have also tried another firmware, but its gets stuck in a half bootloop (repeating the boot animation)

Does anyone know what might be causing this and how I can fix it?

Thanks

Aaron
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Intratech:
Boot to recovery and wipe cache see if that works, if it still bootloops you'll need to boot to recovery and do a factory reset.

I booted into recovery and wiped everything, and it works now.

This is not a full disassembly, maybe I will provide it later and if I really have to disassamble my Galaxy W. But it might be useful for one or the other who needs to dissamble and does not know how to start.

By disassambling the device you officially lose the warranty, so all you do is in your responsibility!

So here are the pics:

After this part it should be pretty straigt forward what to do.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] rescecco:
Hellooo! :D

I managed to do my assignment! And I have to thank you, as always.

It has been important the manual within the passages assemblage and disassemblage of the Galaxy you have posted, in addition to the fotografic guide of the-e related to the only disassembly of the back cover.

After totally disassemblying this device , I can say that it is sufficent a little manual ability to succeed without making any mistake.

Some months ago I totally disassembled the Galaxy S, and, believe me, it's somenthing different! The Amoled display considerably complicate the thing.

The most difficult passage is just the replacing of the dispay frame because you have to remove all that is inside (mainboard etc etc.. ) including the display but what makes the procedure difficult is the pad with the soft keys, the central key and the micropohone. You have to do it very carefully because you can risk to damage the small flats that link the parts. The component is the only one and it is literaly interwoven and pasted to the display frame.

I think I must underline a very important thing: when you have to arrive to the display frame, you have to totally disassemble the block of the display. It means that you have to unglue the panel lcd from the glass of the touch...and it implies a probable difficulty to re-assembly the all things trying to avoid to leave any mark like signs of fingers or the hateful grane of dust. I have to say that I really succeed.

Good luck to everyone who is going to open the device !!
