[HTC One X] Samiii2:
I think I bricked my HOX.

I have custom recovery installed and lots of battery left. I tried to install a new rom (android revolution) and it worked fine, then I noticed that I had lots of left overs on my sd card from earlier installations. So I decided to format it and cleaned /data /system and /cache. The result is that the phone is stuck at "HTC - Quietly brilliant".

Is there anyway possible for me to connect the phone to the usb and transfer the rom files again to flash them?

Or what should I do to have my phone working again.

I have read the guide and I am currently downloading a RUU file, but I prefer not to lock the bootloader > revert to stock > flash rom again.

Please advice,
[HTC One X] bortak:
What is stoping you from booting into recovery, plugging it in via USB and sticking a new ROM on there... Sorry if I'm wrong, don't have the phone yet but seems like what I'd try to do...
[HTC One X] Samiii2:
I am trying, but the phone is not showing up in my explorer so I can not transfer any files?? Tried both in recovery and in the stucked mode. However I might be doing it wrong?
[HTC One X] bortak:
When you boot into recovery do you not have an option to toggle USB storage when you plug the phone in via usb?
[HTC One X] Samiii2:
There is an option under Mounts and storage menu in CWM that allows me to "mount UBS storage" However it is not working and returning an error, "Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory)"
[HTC One X] hardstuffmuc:
I guess boot into bootloader and then push your desired .zip over...
[HTC One X] Klyupp:
USB is not yet working in recovery for the HOX, I don't see any other option then going back to stock....

Send from CM9 powered Galaxy Note :)
[HTC One X] bortak:
Oh, well in that case the only reasonable thing would be to also disable the "erase sd-card" feature also, to prevent issues like this :)

Woaahh just saw your signature, you got a 4s over the SGS II? (I'm guessing) ohh dearrr :P
[HTC One X] wintermute000:
why did you format /system? ROFL thats ur problem right there.

Your only options are

a.) wait till recovery is released w/ USB mounting currently there is none.

b.) obtain the correct official HTC RUU (HTC vendor tool) and flash in fastboot. This WILL WORK but you need the exact correct RUU for your specific build
[HTC One X] Nubzori:
c) use adb push commands

And btw bricked means the phone is completely dead, you can boot but not in rom
[HTC One X] Samiii2:
Ok, i got this baby running again. Have to say it was real dead at one time too. No battery left and no possibility to charge. Promised myself not to play anymore with it if I bring it back to life again.

However, I read somewere that I could use the iphone charger to get some batterylife to boot it and it sure worked. Left it on and the next day the light was green on the phone. My face went from :mad: to :eek:

With full battery I downloaded the 1.29 RUU but it still didnt work. Read somewere else agian that I had to relock the phone again to be able to use the RUU. So I did and it sure worked. Brought it back to stock and here I am again with a working phone in my hand.

I couldnt stay away from ARHD so I unlocked the bootload again, flashed it and customized :)

Must be real real hard to brick this phone completely!
[HTC One S] rawtek:
Have you tried holding down power button for 10 sec and the hold vol- while pressing the power button? it worked for me when i Semi-bricked.. let me know how it turns out if not try the ruu in the dev section..

---------- Post added at 05:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 PM ----------

Maybe you can download the nandroid posted in the dev section and push the system partition..
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
you formatted everything ?? including /system ?

If so you have formatted the ROM and thats why it wont boot..

Try to put a rom in your folder where adb and fastboot is located.. And type the command (whilst in fastboot) fastboot flash nameofrom.zip

if that fails run an RUU. If you need to change it to match your version, Extract the rom.zip and modify the android-info.txt to match your CID and MID.

If you dont know how to get them, in fastboot, use the command fastboot getvar all

good luck and dont panic :) you'll be fine
[HTC One S] joshnichols189:
You don't need to mount the SD Card to push files over with ADB in fastboot.
[HTC One S] purpstar:
Help Please!

I have this same problem and adb and fastboot not working for me.. can anyboy walk me thru this please..
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
do you have the right drivers ? do you have all the necessary files in the right location ?

what happens when you boot into bootloader and connect usb ?
[HTC One S] purpstar:
It says device not found but i have installed all the necessary drivers..
[HTC One S] purpstar:
Its definitely driver related issue.. htc sync didnt work.. fastboot connects to usb but im lost after that..
[HTC One S] purpstar:
I got adb working but now it says protocol failure when i try to push the files to \sdcard.. :(
[HTC One S] cannondale0815:
I have the same problem as the OP. I tried to flash several ROMs this way:

C:\androidsdk\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot flash /system Rom_xda.zip
sending '/system' (525202 KB)...
OKAY [ 25.529s]
writing '/system'...

Hi,

I have the same problem it shows the "HTC quietly brilliant" bootscreen, nothing happends, I tried these things:

Alle here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1609190 (I know it's for the One X),

Go into Fastboot and right in cmd on computer:

"fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img",

clear system, cache, etc.

and

Download, start RUU: "RUU_Ville_U_HTC_Europe_1.53.401.2_Radio_0.15.31501S.19_10.12.31501S.06L_release_251412_signed.exe" - I hope it's the right one :D

I got the same fail like the others:

"the signature verification failed"

HTC One s Bricked help!!!!!

hey guys i just got my one s last week and i just got curious and started messing with it and rooted it after that i started downloading things on the phone like themes and then i turned my phone off before school when i turned it on it was stuck at the start where it says htc. i asked my brother in law what happened he said that i got it bricked and that i needed to try to restore it well i tried to connect it to my computer and my computer doesnt read the phone nor command prompt and the only way it reads it is when i put it in the bootloader section where when you click fastboot and then shows boot loader thats when it reads it and every time i try recovery it wont work then everytime i try clock work mod it says i need an sd card and well as you know the htc one s doesnt have an sd card and i tried so many programs like odin im not that good with command prompt but does anyone know a software that can restore the phone when you are in the boot loader section can soemone please help me
[HTC One S] rolliesandoval:
I don't know much about this but did you put it in download mode before you connected to your pc
[HTC One S] KillaHurtz:
The interim version of CWM does not mount for USB storage, try using a different version if you cannot get any ADB commands to work. Not that it will fix your issue with ADB, but if you can get the storage mounted you put the ROM on it and flash. Hope it all works out bro.

Upgrade your HBoot to probably 2.15 and then try installing roms

I have a similar problem my htc one s won't boot to system or enter into recovery It has 3.14.531.17 installed via RUU and hboot 2.15 If I flash twrp or cwm and try to go into recovery the phone first displays the development htc quietly brilliant screen and then goes off and returns the regular htc quietly brilliant screen and will just keep going on and off the white quietly brilliant screen I can only stop it by powering it down from fastboot power down menu choice I considered the problem may be that i need to do wipes so that's why i wanna get into recovery Running the RUU again and again doesn't help HTC suggests the problem may be that I'm running the RUU from an XP workstation but the RUU didn't complain it returned success so i don't think my os has anything to do with it I tried using a fully charged battery from another one s but that didn't help either

Acer official ICS roms

Thanks to Vache providing the OTA files

Thanks to www.interphaze.com for upload service

Please support the Acer Recovery Installer app by Euclid's Brother.
​

FULL STOCK - FULL ROOT -

BUT FULL DEODEXED AND ZIPALIGNED VERSIONS , THESE ALSO CONTAIN THE EC UPDATE

(EC update for those who never recieved the OTA or never flashed a full ICS leak)
​
[Acer Iconia A500] sxm2:
Civato is THE MAN
[Acer Iconia A500] dxwilliams40:
Civato is the hardest working developer on xda in my opinion. Thanks brother.
[Acer Iconia A500] blackthund3r:
This is a great idea civato! It's like the modded stock idea I had a while ago but had real problems getting to work ;P

Personally I would have deodexed and zipaligned too but the nature of ROMs is that everyone thinks something different is better haha

Great work!
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Deodexed and zip aligned versions will come, its 20 minutes work for every rom but wanted to start of with full stock.

Remember speed wise the odexed roms got a little advandage over deodexed roms.

But you need deodexed roms if you want to mod them and change stuff to them.

Oh and I got full deodexed zipaligned , flexreaper :D
[Acer Iconia A500] kambingbakar:
sorry for my nembie question, if i flash the rom without flash the kernel 301 would i lost cwm recovery? so i must install your unlocked bootloader like your other tutor thread?

sorry for my English too :)
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
You can flash this on any bootloader , but if you got the HC bootloader 3.01 you NEED to flash the kernel for HC bootloader users , if not it won't boot.

And what does the OP says , "-Bootloader.blob & stock recovery removed." in the roms.

So your custom recovery will stay intact.
[Acer Iconia A500] samaliset:
From Thor2002 V14.2

many thanks Civato for your good works.

Just a question, my device is actually using Thor2002 V14.2 ROm and I wish to know if I need to do any thing special or I go ahead and flash directely.

Sorry for the question is it looks ...
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
All info is in OP.

But to make clear:

If you are on HC rom and with it you are on the HC bootloader you have 2 options.

Option 1:You just flash one of these roms and you flash the kernel (that is posted with every rom) for HC bootloader users right after you flashed the rom and before you rebooted. (If you don't do that while on HC3.01 bootloader ICS will not boot , but remember , with HC booltoader still on your tablet screen glitches and messed up boot screens are normal)

Option 2: You install the Unlocked ICS booltoader and custom recovery , flash the rom and reboot (no need to flash a extra kernel).

In my honest opion this is the best , update you booltoader to ICS bootloader to have full advantage of ICS with no glitches.

Why go back to HC ?
[Acer Iconia A500] samaliset:
That is clear and many thanks I'll follow the second otion as per your suggestion.
[Acer Iconia A500] drkalo:
Thanks civato for all that you and other devs are doing for the A500 community. Is there any difference (aside from the languages supported) between these 3 official ROMs?
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Not really , they are all orientated to there region that is the only difference I noticed.

If your language is supported you can try any of them.
[Acer Iconia A500] engine95:
Thanks Civato. I really appreciate that you have gone through this extra work to give us all the stock ROM's. Personally, this is what I prefer to install and use. Your work is excellent on the Flex series, but I just like to run odexed ROM's. They seem to work best for me.

A question on these: I usually just delete the flexrom, as it seems an easy way to get rid of alot of the bloat. I haven't seemed to lose any functionality by doing this. Do you know, or is there a way to find out what is on the flexrom? Other than installing with flexrom then without?

I noticed on at least 1 of the Flexreapers, that you pretty much deleted the flexrom, but added a wifi file and a gps file. Is there a reason you used flexrom for that?

Thanks again

@civato "If you decide and stop beeing a chicken with your HC bootloader"

Now thats some funny ****!!!
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Trick about flexrom apps ,

Let it install , don't delete the image as you will lose functionality. (with a custom rom I extract the apps from flexrom because some I like to build in th ecustom flexreaper rom)

Then when all is set and installed you boot and got with a file manager (EsFileExplorer) with root permission set to the flexrom folder and there you delete the apps you don't want. (All acer apps , like weather widget , zinio , AcerDNLA , MyLocationWidget , .... ....)

[Acer Iconia A500] naviathan:
Is anyone using this having the SoD or wifi issues?
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Use the correct kernel !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only ICS kernel is in the rom , meaning only works if you got ICS booltoader.

If you still on HC bootloader you need the HC bootloader patched kernel .

And do full wipe !!!!!!!!

If things keep going like this I will extract every patched ics kernel for HC bootloader users , so they must update to ICS bootloader and I can stop answering the same question over and over and over and over and over and over , again.
[Acer Iconia A500] naviathan:
Ok I got that message from my thread, but wouldn't CM9 be using the ICS kernel?
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Don't know , that you need to ask in that thread. Sorry.
[Acer Iconia A500] BakaNeko59:
By my count it's been asked over 10 times while you mention only 6 (counting your "over"s). How can we take your word on anything if you can't even count? Unless your "again" implies a multiplication factor of 2, which would make your count 12. But then I'm an engineer without my calculator, so all this higher math stuff goofs me up anyway.

R15 is not coming ........... RF1-CUSTOM-ICS is.
[Acer Iconia A500] sxm2:
Hey civato,

I understand what you are saying, but need to ask some questions.

Can we delete acer bloat from the /system/app folder the same way as the flexrom folder? Apps like 3DPhotoBrowser; AcerNidus, AcerOOBE2, ApInAp, NFS, etc.

Do we need to touch anything in the /data/data folder? ie: any of the "com.acer.*" stuff?

Thanks for everything.
[Acer Iconia A500] drapper:
Civ you are definetely the man! I have asked the same question in a couple of ROM threads without getting any answer yet: on A500 can we use 3G dongle (Huwaei) as I currently use in your HC Rom, under ICS?

This is my ony concern before stop being a chicken and upgrade bootloader and Rom to ICS
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Sorry not for now, kernel needs to be tweaked for that. And as Acer did not release source it is hard.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Yep exactly the same.
[Acer Iconia A500] naviathan:
civato, you rock. I've flashed this rom and I'm not having any issues. I haven't fully tested the wifi range yet, but so far I left this thing sitting for almost 4 hours, came back and it started right up again. No more SoD!!!!
[Acer Iconia A500] naviathan:
Wifi range is still lacking. I get barely the bottom dot of the indicator for a router in the next room. I use to get at least 2-3 bars on that one. Oh well, this is so smooth and stable, I don't care right now.

[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
You got to ask this question,

Why does Acer puts out a new bootloader to run ICS ? Not to make it run worse.

And with the unlocked bootloader you can never brick your tablet it you mess up recovery , system or boot. If you do that with HC bootloader you can put it by the paper.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Look here , he had the same problem.
[Acer Iconia A500] crandy2:
Thought I would flash this while I wait on your RF1, and I am very impressed with the speed and smoothness. I have always liked odexed roms on my phone, and this one is just as smooth. Quadrant is about 1940 which is expected, but the odexing seems more than offset that. I may stay here a while. I flashed the Asian rom even though I am in the US. A little more trouble to get the GPS working, but it seems to be OK now.

Can any of the Flexreaper mods be flashed to this stock rom? Specifically the battery % or one of the tweaked kernels? I know that modding is very limited with odexed Roms.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Mods will not work , battery% is in systemUI where in HC it was in framework.

systemUI is not deodexed in the stock rom , that is the reason that mod won't work on it.

But I will release a full stock full deodexed version of these roms so you can flash mods on it.

But remember Acerring will not work on it. That needs to be build in the rom and can not be flashed on as a addon.

The tweaked kernels can be flashe on this stock rom , that is no problem.

I'm thinking of opening a kernel thread but so many things to do and NO time.
[Acer Iconia A500] Ritesh:
I have been running the 1.041 for about 36 hours. I haven't faced the screen rotation problem, and also generally happy with the GPS etc.

Except one thing: I cant install any apps from the market. for every app(or updates) I keep getting "app" could not be installed due to an error (-101) . Any Idea? I guess I missed something very simple as I don't have any other issues yet with this ROM.

Thanks Civato for your work.
[Acer Iconia A500] naviathan:
Uninstall Google Play and reinstall. Did you clear caches and everything before going to this ROM?
[Acer Iconia A500] Ritesh:
[Solved !

It seems Market did not recognize my account for some reason. I signed out of my account (removed it). And signed in again from Google Play app. that worked.

If it helps others the following three things did not work for me, so you might save some effort if you face this issue.

- Clearing cache on the market related apps did not help.

- Then I did a factory wipe (again). which did not help.

- Searched around forums here and at other places. Some suggested that It might be due to Bandwidth that I consumed on Google Market, and waiting a few hours will help. That was not the problem.

how to

flashed gtablet dozens of times but never iconia. does the file go on the internal or external SD card? and to flash volume -? tks
[Acer Iconia A500] CyaN1de:
Assuming you have custom recovery then either internal or external sd as you can explore from recovery. If no custom recovery then root of external sd.

Power plus volume closest to power button.

(You will see in ICS that the volume rocker changes depending on screen orientation and can be either + or -)
[Acer Iconia A500] lsu205:
I have only the stock Acer ics load
[Acer Iconia A500] CyaN1de:
Looks like you need to already have custom recovery installed to flash this one.

Read OP, instructions are right there.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
I posted these roms so people with custom recovery can flash these or a custom one on what they want or need.

It is possible if you rename the .zip to update.zip and put it on your tablet external SD you can flash it even with stock Acer recovery.

but I don't recommend that.!

any other ideas for screen rotation fix?
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Do a real format of your system , how :

Performe a REAL format....

here's how to on cwm:

go to in recovery enter "Backup and Restore" and click on "Toggle backup and restore of internal storage (/data/media)"

should say enabled....

then go into "Mounts and Storage" and "format /data"

this will REALLY format data and you will loose all you have in the in the internal memory
