[Q] Messed up flashing a kernel. Help?

[scott62185]

First, noob here to the HOX and not very bright, technologically speaking, lol.

I'm on ARHD v15.0 and was trying to flash a new kernel (ncx-217) which I repacked with the boot .img of the ARHD rom. I followed ALL of the steps very carefully but when I rebooted I was stuck on the "htc quietly brilliant" screen. So I searched and saw directions to get into fastboot, which I was able to do but, my computer will not recognize my phone now (so I cannot flash something via sdk).

Btw, I do have the CM 10 rom on my sd card to flash in recovery, but no separate boot.img to flash (or any way I know of flashing it from my computer since it's not recognizing my phone in usb fastboot mode).

Thanks in advance

I'm thinking I should just go ahead and flash the CM10 rom I have on my sd card (and hope for the best).

Ugh! My beautiful new (to me) One X...

You're on jb hboot. Jb roms and hboot do not support custom kernels as of now. You'll have to wait till jb kernel source is out and the devs to make one. Reflash ARHD.

I see. But I cannot flash ARHD cause it's not on my phone and I can't get my computer to recognize my phone in fastboot. I do have a copy of CM10 on my sd card. Should I just go ahead and flash that in recovery?

Why don't you just mount USB storage in recovery and copy ARHD over?

Can you elaborate? How do I mount USB storage in recovery? Keeping in mind that I cannot get my computer to detect my phone now.

Mounts & storage > mount usb storage =)

 

[scott62185]

Mounts & storage > mount usb storage =)

Okay, that worked! Nice. So, now I should just transfer ARHD to the sd card and flash that?

 

[scott62185]

Only problem is, I cannot flash the boot.img first because when I go out of mount USB storage (into fastboot) I lose my connection from the phone to the computer...

Nandroid?

If u had a nandroid backup before flashing the kernel.Then restore it.
If not/
Download the latest drives(Htc Sync)
Ur phone will get deteced for sure.

Can only find the AT&T drivers and now phone is saying battery level too low to flash! F#ck

Here you can find the drivers, in the first post

Connect the phone to the wallcharger and go into bootloader and select power down.

Let it charge for a while

And if that doesn't work you can check this thread

Should I boot into recovery and charge from there? (that's what it says in the link you listed...)

 

[Mr Hofs]

Yes that is also possible, i assume you are using cwm 5.8.4.0 !

yeah

yeah

Problem solved already ?

No. I was actually able to flash the ARHD rom in recovery but still wouldn't boot (I'm assuming b/c I hadn't flashed the boot .img). I was unable to flash the boot .img due to my computer still not recognizing my phone, despite having installed the drivers. I went to sleep and when I woke up the phone was apparently dead (I think the connection between the adapter and the plug was not good), so I'm charging it again now.

Do you think the lack of the boot .img is the reason it's not working (and not being recognized by my computer)? Any further suggestions? Maybe I'll try and get rid of all the drivers and start over (I d/l'd the drivers several times).

I appreciate your help, man!

 

[Mr Hofs]

Yes i really think that its the reason it doesn't boot !

Install the drivers again after that remove HTC sync but leave the drivers intact its an option in the deinstall menu on the pc.

I'm gonna give a dl link to my fastboot folder . Put the folder on C:\

So it's gonna be C:\fastboot\3 fastboot/adb files.

You probably have this but its easier for me to explain

And if you put the phone in fastboot USB mode within the bootloader menu

And you give this :

Fastboot devices

It should come up with a serial

Ok, cool! I will let my phone charge a little while and then I'll try this. Hopefully, you will be around in a few for me to ask you more questions! lol Thank god for you, bro. :good:

 

[Mr Hofs]
