Have to say that the above instructions are terrible! I soft-bricked my One X and couldnt get it to boot for around 2 hours due to the instructions above… please revise before others (who perhaps cant put their mistakes right brick their handsets)…
the command should be fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.2.4-endeavouru.img
what you have put above replaces the boot image…!!!!

no worries… just wanted to make sure the same didn’t happen to others.
certainly had a slight panic when I realised my mistake, especially as you can’t mount USB via the recovery. Luckily a fastboot flash of the original boot.img sorted it out
