Root [International Tegra 3] Stuck with unresponsive Recovery

[Siebtrov2000]

Hey, hope someone can help.. my son just had a fiddle with flashing a new ROM to his HTC One X. He used a toolkit by Hasoon2000.

Bootloader is unlocked and he flashed TWRP which woudnt respond to touch commands. He then tried to flash CWM which loaded after a reboot.

The weird thing however is that booting to recovery still produces TWRP whilst regular booting loads CWM!?

He tried pushing Viper ROM to CWM, which started and allowed him to set the configurations etc.. but on rebooting he's back to CWM!

I've not done any tinkering like this since my old ZTE Blade which seemed like a walk in the park compared to this device.

I'd really appreciate some help. Anyone got any ideas how I can get some form of phone up and running again cos' he aint getting a new one! Thanks

If it's constantly booting to Cwm, it sounds like the recovery has been flashed to the boot partition. Try this : http://androidforums.com/showthread.php?p=6561815

The thread mentions a different ROM, but the principle will be the same and the boot.img file should still be in the viper ROM.zip file.

What version of TWRP did he flash btw?

Hey thanks for the quick reply.

TWRP is v2.1.7

I have had a quick look at the link you provided. Im completely unfamiliar with inputing fastboot commands etc but if I do this should the Viper ROM work even though TWRP seems to be gubbed? Thanks in advance.

I moved this thread to the (International Tegra 3) One X - All Things Root forum so others who are rooted, with the same model, can assist

Cheers!

If you're unfamiliar with fastboot, does hasoons toolkit have an option to flash a kernel or boot.img? You could use that if you're not comfortable with fastboot commands.

That's an older (ancient) TWRP, you could try grabbing the latest version from here: Techerrata Downloads - Browsing endeavoru

openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-endeavoru.img

Try using Hasoon2000's toolkit to flash that recovery and then flash the ROM again.

Thanks for the link..
Read up on fastboot commands etc, followed a step by step guide. Got this:

C:\android-adb>fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
sending 'recovery' (6972 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.896s]
writing 'recovery'...
(bootloader) Format partition SOS done
OKAY [ 0.587s]
finished. total time: 1.484s

Booted into recovery - Showing new version number 2.6.3.0, but screen is still unresponsive!?

I'm at a loss.

***UPDATE***

I have now managed to flash a working CWM Recovery to the phone via fastboot!
Hopefully this is progress?

After a few false starts with ROM's which wouldnt play ball I finally managed to flash SkyDragon and all is working as it should!

Schooled myself in fastboot, adb etc
Should help if the wee man starts messing with his phone again.

Many thanks to El Presidente, your the man.

Sorry, I work nights so I missed your first post.

Awesome, glad you managed to sort it!

Toolkits are good, but there's nothing like being able to do it manually. Fastboot/adb is generally universal across all android handsets so it's a good thing to have a little bit of knowledge on.
