Because your nandroid is setup to work on a Stock Hboot is the reason it's not working. The system partition space is not enough for your nandbackup file.

did you wipe cache via fastboot after rebooting of bootloader?
fastboot erase cache
you need to wipe/format all partitions including dalvik except sdcard
then flash it again...
Nandroid back up will be not working because you changed system partition size as backup from stock hboot is way too big to fit onto cm7/r2 system partition

where is this "fastboot erase cache"?
thank you for your quick answers

You have to type this command in CMD. For installing / using Fastboot / ADB, check my guide.

Easiest to flash things radio, recovery, bootloader or splash screen is IMHO Android Flasher:

Flashing new hboot without losing data?

Hello
I'm running quite low on space on my Desire and I would like to get the CM7r2 hboot, but I can't seem to find any posts saying if it's safe to flash a new hboot without losing data?

Depends what ROM you're using, and whether it supports the hboot.

This might help:
1) Nandroid backup in recovery.
2) Verify the MD5SUM of the file you downloaded against the one in the table.
3) Flash HBOOT with your phone in fastboot mode (Back+POWER) -> 'fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img' (change into the correct filename for the HBOOT you downloaded)
4) 'fastboot reboot-bootloader'
5) 'fastboot erase cache'
6) Boot recovery, wipe everything and restore.
This info was taken from AlphaRev's homepage:

Note, however, that AlphaRev's hboot utility has been deprecated and replaced by Revolutionary:

Fastboot flashing

Ok, back in my HTC Desire HD days I could rename a prepared radio zip file to PD98IMG.zip, move the file to my SD-card root, then go to fastboot and the file was immediately recognized as flashable and I could choose to flash it, without going through adb.
Is there any similar method in Gnex?
For instance, I would like to flash a ClockworkMod Recovery update file straight from fastboot, without adb commands (i.e. a PC).
Thanks.

no. HTC phones use hboot which is their own bootloader written to look for that file name.

Thanks!:good:

In the Nexus, you flash raw images through fastboot.
'fastboot flash <partition_name> filename.img'
Partition names available: system, boot, recovery, userdata, logo.bin

[q] htc one x restore - need help with fastboot commands

I am seeking your help to clear up some of my confusion in solving a problem with my HTC ONE X. I tried flashing a custom ROM on my HTC Android phone but all the files and partitions got messed up that every time it boots up, it is on a bootloop. I know the cause to this is due to a mixture of inconsistent (boot, recovery)partitions libraries that I have on the phone.
Therefore, I want to FULLY WIPE OF ALL the data on the phone's storage and reinstall a clean set of libraries and stock rom. However, before I wipe off all data and install the new stock rom, I want to know all the commands that I can issue to correct this problem but the problem I have is that the stock zip has a boot.img, hboot.img and recovery.img along with a set of folders (System and Meta-inf folders) and I don't know the command that I can issue to push the folders I mentioned in the right partition, "/system" partition. Moreover, I cannot boot into any recovery modes (CWM or TWRP) so everything has to be done via fastboot commands, I think.
I know I can execute the following commands if everything(all the partitions) were an .img file but for the folders I do not know how to push them onto my phones storage.
For example to push the boot content on the boot partition, I issue the following command to flash the device
fastboot erase boot
fastboot flash boot boot.img
and the following for the rest of the partitions:-
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
and so on..
So what would be the solution to push those folders that are non img format related onto the right partitions? Flash it as a zip file?
Lastly, the phone is unlocked, CID: 11111111, Hboot: 1.09 and can only boot into fastboot mode for now. I also tried running the automatic RUU files via zip and exe formats but always fail due to signature or some other missing file error.

if you flash that recovery it will go back to stock lol you need to flash a firmware.zip...for more information please read the guides to how to flash it...all what you need to know and need to flash is stated in those guides

Hboot 1.09 that's not a endevour HTC one X ! .....what does the top of the bootloader say ?
And second.....questions do not belong in the general section !!!
And give the outcome of :
Fastboot getvar version-main

[Q] Boot loop and can't find appropriate boot.img

Hi
I've been given a One X (he bought an M8) and I thought I'd easily put on KK 4.4.4, but I have hit a brick wall.
It was running ViperX 2.6.0 with Hboot 0.95, and it's S-ON.
Well 4.4.4 needs a Hboot above 1.28, so the flashing failed.
So I did my homework and got the CID (it's HTC-023) to install the firmware so that I could update the Hboot via OTA.
So I installed the boot.img for the HTC-023 firmware and that (of course) was a an error as I didn't have a copy of the boot.img for the ViperX 2.6.0.
Then the firmware was a .rar file and didn't install anyrate.
So now it's in bootloop.
I have not been able to find a copy of ViperX 2.6.0 to extract the required boot.img
I've got TWRP with Sideloader installed, and ADB works fine.
So I am stuck (like my One X really) so any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

Solution
I thought I should post the solution.
The essential problem was to get a Hboot 1.28 or higher so that a new version of Cyanogenmod could be installed.
On this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376&page=189 is the following from ClydeB1
To flash you need to run the following commands: (It is advised to take a backup of your data and important files on your sd card)
1. Lock bootloader - fastboot oem lock
2. Boot to RUU mode - fastboot oem rebootRUU
3. Flash firmware - fastboot flash zip firmware.zip (if you get an error then rerun this command)
Note: The firmware will flash the new hboot, as well as a new stock boot.img and stock recovery.img.
To flash a custom rom you then need to do the following:
4. Unlock bootloader - fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin (you can use the same unlock_code file as you used previously, check your emails if you can't find it, or else reapply at htcdev.com)
5. Flash custom recovery - fastboot flash recovery nameofrecoveryfile.img
Note: If the unlock process wiped your sd card you may need to boot to recovery and mount usb storage to copy the rom file across again. If your phone won't boot into recovery then run command - fastboot erase cache and try again.
If you then wish to flash a JB custom rom:
6. Flash new boot.img from rom - fastboot flash boot boot.img
7. For good measure - fastboot erase cache
8. Boot to recovery and flash rom
I followed these steps exactly and it worked perfectly. I did need to use CWM as with TWRP the touch screen did not work.

and have more ease way to do this. You are with too low HBOOT and you can run RUU and then update the phone to latest JB because are you know witch HBoot you install to your phone
