ARHD is basically as close to stock as you're gonna get.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] valadril:
That's exactly how I tried, failed within seconds, seems I'm totally unable to access or do anything with the data partition.

If you feel a Rom would fix it, I was looking at some of the new ones, would definitely love to try something new.

How would I get the Rom file onto my phone?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Ok try this , with the phone booted into recovery connect the usb cable then in your fastboot command line type

adb devices

Hopefully you'll get an output showing your phone's serial no.

If it worked type

adb shell

then

e2fsck -fvy dev/block/mmcblk0p37
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] valadril:
I've tried everything but it still doesn't appear.

Just did a format and now the data partition is working and is mounted! Still doesn't' appear on my computer though, but i think i can use fastboot to push to the file to my phone?

I tried but it doesn't appear as a device.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
When you say it doesn't appear what do you mean. You won't get mass storage to work in Windows untill you get a Rom installed.

But either way it doesn't sound good did the adb commands work?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] valadril:
Finally got the Data partition working and mounted! But I'm still unable to get ADB to work meaning I'm still unable to install a rom lol.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
What version of Windows are you running? Do you have HTC sync installed? If yes uninstall HTC sync but leave drivers installed. Then install this driver https://www.dropbox.com/s/nm9igbliqqk69p5/HTCDriver.exe

Connect your phone with the usb cable in the bootloader, give it a second it may install drivers again so wait for it to finish. Then with usb still connected boot to recovery again wait to see if its installing drivers then try

adb devices

Hopefully adb is working if so put the downloaded rom in your fastboot folder on your pc and rename it to rom, then with the phone in recovery type this in the fastboot command line

adb push rom.zip /sdcard

The command prompt my seem unresponsive with just a blinking cursor. That's normal the Rom is being pushed just wait for the prompt to show it's done.

Then select install from the TWRP home screen and select the rom.zip then swipe to flash. :fingers-crossed:

Hi Matt I saw your post on here and I'm hoping you can give me some advice.

Here's my situation:

This morning my phone was downloading the software update, and in the middle of it it suddenly turned off. I tried turning it back on and it went to the AT&T screen and then turned off again after a while.

Now the phone won't turn on, won't charge, the LED light doesn't turn on.

When I plug it into my PC, in the device manager it detects the phone and says QHSUSB_DLOAD

I've tried many combinations of resetting the device.

Held volume up and down buttons with power button for 2 minutes with device plugged in.

Held volume up and down buttons with power button for 2 minutes with device plugged in while holding the light sensors next to a very bright light.

Plugged it into the computer and held volume up and down buttons with power button for 2 minutes

I'm getting very desperate for any hope, I don't mind replacing the device but I really want to salvage the data collected on there because it is 4-5 months worth of photos/videos that I foolishly didn't back up.(Sad thing is, I was planning on backing it all up today until this situation arose...)

If you can provide any assistance or advice to me I would be so grateful. Thank you.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Ok well if the phone still works that's good. That splash screen is controlled by your firmware so it gets changed/updated when you update firmware with ota or ruu or other method.

It's strange for sure but if you plan on taking the next ota that may fix it or you could manually re-flash the firmware to see if that helps.

Ok choices are good for your device do you have any prefference of custom Rom or would you preffer stock?

Once again I'm going to suggest ARHD 71.1 it's very close to stock with some improvements and comes with the awesome sense6 toolbox for more personal tweaks and improvements.

It's a good starting point and you can then read up on other roms you my find some features you like on a different Rom but once the phone is booting flashing roms becomes very easy.

Download this rom

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2183023

Connect your phone with the usb cable in the bootloader, give it a second it may install drivers again so wait for it to finish. Then with usb still connected boot to recovery again wait to see if its installing drivers then in the Fastboot command line try

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CamoGeko:
I was gonna say Renovate if you wanted a themed ROM, but I guess Danny is right. Better to start off with something like ARHD which doesn't really take long to get used to, and to stabilise your phone.

Actually, i did tried to flash few different roms, like CM, Android Revolution HD, Renovate SixthSense, MaximusHD(4.4.3 sense6). But still no success.....

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s-moto:
There is no error spotted during the flash process, however it simply cannot resolve the boot loop issue.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Where does it loop? On the first htc splash screen or on the HTC one boot animation.

It maybe you need to Fastboot erase cache if you didn't do it after flashing twrp. Connect fastboot usb and type command

fastboot erase cache

Then try reboot
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CamoGeko:
Well thats very strange, if the ROM flashes without errors it should boot... no if or buts about that.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
what recovery version are you using to flash this rom? you said you have tried both CWM and TWRP but ARHD 71.1 and many other 4.4+ roms must be flashed with twrp 2.6.3.3 version only and newer CM roms must be flash with 2.7.1.1 only.

we often see this bootloop issue when ppl are flashing arhd with the wrong version of TWRP, give it a try and dont forget to erase cache:

fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img [COLOR="Blue"](twrp 2.6.3.3)[/COLOR]
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader

then boot in twrp 2.6.3.3 and reflash arhd 71.1. Also a good idea to check the MD5 of your rom before flashing it to confirm its not a bad download.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
2.7.1.1 actually works ok with ARHD I've tested it myself, but reverted to 2.6.3.3 because of the issue with misc partition on 2.7.1.1.

I'm guessing our friend here is using 2.7.1.1 since it appears there is no metadata recursive error when flashing and his version main is missing from the getvar but that doesn't excuse me for not asking the question :s so thanks

If fastboot erase cache doesn't fix it Formatting data probably will but is always the last recommendation for for obvious reasons. But these phone that brick like this always seem to end up with corrupt user data partition.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s-moto:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
fastboot erase cache is not the same as wipeing cache in recovery. If you change recovery without fastboot erase cache it can cause bootloops you need to do that so we can be sure its not the problem.

Also if you have used Format Data in Twrp you probably dont have a rom installed which also ofcourse will cause the phone not to boot since theres nothing to boot to.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s-moto:
Just did with my Macbook. Should i redo the flashing again?

Unfortunately I have to agree I had a phone belonging to a friend with the same problem and it to is irreparable. I think your memory chip is damaged. :(

The only other thing you can try is download a super wipe script and elemental x or bulletproof kernel. Push them to the phone and use super wipe on the boot.img partition. Then install the custom kernel. Then leave the phone to boot, even if it's looping just leave it for about 30mins.

Eventually it may boot but unfortunately it won't fix the problem. It's just a work around. This worked with my friends phone but it will continue to get worse over time untill the phone just dies. I'm really sorry dude I think we've done all we can. All that's left is pay HTC to fix it or bin it and replace it :(

Bricked Phone

Hi

If you can help that would be great! I had a guy root my htc one x and install cm11, but it would get stuck loading and would go no further than the cm11 logo on the screen and get warm. So he gave up, and another guy suggested re locking the bootloader so I could install a new ruu. Great but my rom version doesn't seem to exist anywhere online! 4.17.161.3 cid vodaP001

So now I am stuck with a phone that I can access the bootloader with, but not recovery since I re locked the bootloader, and will just stay at the cm11 logo when I try to load it. Oh and to add issues the first guy formatted the sd card in recovery (when I could access it) so there are no files showing there ( not that I can get in there now anyway ). The red light shows up sometimes when plugged in and not sometimes. It is being recognised by the drivers. I can reboot to boot loader for example from the cm11 logo.

Any help would be great. Spent 10 days now trying!

Hi , I made the mistake of trying to flash a kernel on a stock rom. While trying every method I could come across on the forums, I have wiped most everything from my phone besides the CWM recovery. I cannot get my phone to go past the very first HTC screen. Do you think there is any hope of salvaging my phone ?

Why dont you flash a custom ROM via CWM recovery?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Ok so it sounds like these guys did a good job of breaking your phone for you. ;)

First you need to unlock your bootloader. This can be done the same as when you unlocked it first time. If you still have the Unlock_code.bin you got from HTC dev just flash it again. Or you can go through the procedure again to get a new one.

fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin

Once that's done download and flash TWRP recovery from here. http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/endeavoru. Rename it to recovery.img and put it in your Fastboot folder on you pc.

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache

Then go download this Rom and boot.img

HTC One X

Jelly Bean (Android 4.2.2)

Download*Android Revolution HD 33.1*(alternative link)

Download boot.img 0.1 for Android Revolution HD 33.x*(alternative link)

here

http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.co.uk/p/android-revolution-hd-mirror-site-var.html?m=1

extract the boot.img to your Fastboot folder, and place the rom in the Fastboot folder and rename it rom.zip then fastboot flash the boot.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

Then boot into recovery and push the Rom

adb push rom.zip /sd card

Then install the Rom through recovery. Reboot :fingers-crossed:

Of course if you have a Removable sd card you can skip the adb push and just copy the Rom to the sd card however you see fit.

The key here is the boot.img you must flash it manually for the phone to boot and it must be the correct boot.img for the Rom ;)
