[Q] HTC Desire X - need Support

Lastmenstanding · Jan 19, 2014

Hello ,

since two days i am trying to install a custom rom on my htc desire x. I repeated every single step several times to make sure everything still is fine.
(unlook, flash boot, flash recovery / tried twmp and cwm, etc..)

The only rom which works for me ist the cM10-2-20138004-unofficial. But with restrictions. WLAN doesn't work, media manager isn't starting. Cant hear the partner when calls are incoming.

I tried mySense, Half_Sense, myOnedx, but after finishing installation the device hangs on startup. I waited hours and minutes but nothing happened.

I tried several RUU´s but can't find the right ones for me, or i got the 155 error message.

There is no OS installed on the device. How can i get the device up an running? I would be really happy if somebody can give me a hint whats going wrong.

Thx in advance

Dont worry all ****s can be fixed.Wha is ur hboot ? Or simply before to try to install custom rom U was with ICS rom or JB ?.You have to use the right recovery.Look what rom you want to flash, if you on ics hboot u cant just flash jb room (Some roms already have this funcion)
Ps:
After flasing the rom go in boothloader and flash boot.img And away do full wipe

What you need to make sure when installing a ROM: Install a suitable kernel. When installing a Sense ROM, install a Sense custom kernel or the stock kernel. Installing CM isn't advisable, because it's not ready for daily use yet. Also, make sure you use the right recovery for right hboot.

Good Morning,

thx for reply. I want to install the myOnedx_RC4.0 FX. I extracted the boot.img from zip. Installed the rom, wiped, reboot and installed the boot.img.
But that failed. Again, the cyanogen start up occurs for hours and hours. The device doesnt start.

Also tried the same wir the mySENSEdx5_RC4

I evem tried to install the nexuskernelv3.img

I am on hboot 1.25.002

Anyone an idea what wrong with my installation?

Thx

Again: Which custom recovery are you using? Please post a link to the thread here, so we can see what you've installed. Also, as first time user, you should check this and this.

Lastmenstanding · Jan 20, 2014

Sorry i forgot. I am using TWRP 2.6.3.0 as custom recovery

dansou901 · Jan 20, 2014

Ok, strange, as this one works for me without problems. However, try the 2.5.0.0 version for JB and see if it goes without problems then. Also be sure to wipe system, dalvik cache, cache and data partition before installing a new ROM.

Lastmenstanding · Jan 20, 2014

Same with version 2.5.0.0. I tried clockworkmod recovery, but as soon as i try to wip i got the error messages:

cant mount cache/recovery
cant open cache/revocery

So how can i get back to a stock rom? I tried the way described in here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=41327224
, but restore failed.

Any other ideas?

dansou901 · Jan 20, 2014

If you want to get back to stock, you need to know your CID first. After that, check this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2324815
As you have JB hboot, you need to restore a JB backup. In the thread I linked you to are backups of several CIDs. If yours isn't there, you won't be able to return to stock.

Lastmenstanding · Jan 20, 2014

Ok thanks. So it is not in there. I got the cid VODAP102.

Does that mean my device is gone? Or can i even try other workarounds?

Thanks

Lastmenstanding · Jan 20, 2014

So i installed odexed rom and this one works fine. Do not know why all the other roms not working to me.

Maybe anyone an idea.

Otherwise thanks for your support.

Your hboot : 1.25.0002
Recovery to flash - JB recovery download from here : http://d-h.st/VjM
fastboot flash recovery command : fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

For a test ROM to flash, flash this stock ROM : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2239511

also make sure to fastboot flash boot boot.img
(boot.img is attached on OP)

Once everything run, it is up to you to try any other ROM and any other boot.img

It's either you flash ROM with wrong recovery type or wrong boot.img type or ROM which is not supported on your hboot.

Simple rules:
1) Recovery must be a recovery for JB.
2) Correct boot.img for correct ROM

ICS ROM that support hboot 1.25.0002
Recovery : JB recovery is a must
Boot.img : ICS boot.img is a must

JB ROM which should run fine on hboot 1.25.0002
Recovery : JB recovery is a must
Boot.img : JB boot.img is a must

ICS ROM that does not support hboot 1.25.002 - you need to manually change the mountpoint in updater-script, then
Recovery : JB recovery is a must
Boot.img : ICS boot.img is a must

Yeah, that was the problem, I see now... Have been blind a bit... The ROMs OP has installed on his phone are all ICS ROMs which need changing of updater-script mountpoints. That's why they won't work. @Lastmenstanding: Try any JB ROM available in Android Development section, should work without problems. The ROMs you tried were ICS ROMs especially written for ICS hboot, that's why they didn't work on your phone.

OP mentioned about installing my ICS ROMs. Both ICS ROMs work on JB hboot without a need to edit the updater-script. My guess is he either use wrong recovery (ICS recovery is wrong) or wrong boot.img (JB boot.img is wrong) as it should be JB Recovery and ICS boot.img
