Right sorry about this but I'm having a little problem trying to flash the Sony Beta so I can flash another ROM. Basically, I've just unlocked bootloader and then I go on to the next bit that says flash these three images separately etc...
Anyway I go to flash the first image and cmd just hangs on "waiting for device".
I think I've got it all set up right. I'm guessing I need it in the mode where I hold search when I plug it in and the blue light comes on right?
Anyway I'm guessing I'm missing something very easy. Help would be appreciated! Thanks!

did you put in into fast boot? hold the search key for a bit then plug in usb, the blue light will then turn on and you'll hear your usb noise. Then you hold SHIFT on the folder of fastboot and of course flash it, it will run after that

nah it should only take a sec for the boot img and depending on file size of the system etc it should take a min but the fast boot cmd would give you any errors if something went wrong
and yes you did mention it lol but im reading off a little screen off my phone so just respamming things that come to head just give it a min if you don't want that one i recomm ka12 if your not a cmda user

Hmm... Well I was just thinking, I got the drivers sorted out using PDAnet. the phone wiped when I unlocked bootloader. Is it possible I need to reinstall this?
Try "fastboot -i 0x0fce flash boot boot.img"

if you unlocked it then its unlocked, which you can verify by the blue light if it stays on while the usb if plugged try that method ^ and see how that goes if it doesn't let me know
also you can try another method which i did but im a cdma user and i used dooms kernal by flashing of course then installed official sony then back into fast boot and install stock kernal which booted up fine but cdma users have bugs no texting etc so i just went back to stock,

Didn't flash any kernel really. First time I've flashed anything to this phone. Just followed instructions on Sony Beta ROM site. Could you suggest a kernel to flash with that?

I always flash a new radio with recovery and I have now been told this is not the correct way on doing this, But all radio flash tutorials I have read say to do it this way.
What all your votes on this?
Depends on if you have modified nand partitions. If you have one with a cache partition to small to hold radio you HAVE to flash from fastboot.
Apart from that I believe there is little difference in the risks associated.

I have stock nand, what's the limit cache on that? new radio is out its a 11mb zip
Am worried using recovery now lol this will be my 4th radio flash with recovery and not one single problem?
it is generally safer to flash radio from fastboot.
if it can go wrong, then it is defienietly more probable while doing that trough recovery.

Stock should have 40 mb cache, if i remember well...sure you can flash it via recovery then, but fastboot is still safer imo.

It's your choice, tho bricking is more frequent with that way: if the archive gets damaged recovery will flash it anyway and eventually brick your device, fastboot instead doesn't allow you to flash a malformed image, afaik...

Yep, you can use it (i got the same os), but in order to do that you have to download the android sdk and set up adb properly. There's a lot of tutorials on how to do this, here's the first i stumbled across:
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-adb-and-how-to-install-it-android/
Imho it's a rule of thumb to have a working adb/fastboot if you wanna be into the rom flashing thing: sooner or later they'll save your arse

Thanks yes I already have all that done and installed USB driver's. I did this when first rooting my phone
so it just learning how to use fastboot
So what ive been reading is this true.
As long has the zip file is not damaged you should be ok flashing in recovery. So if I just check zip file befor flashing for error's I will be fine?

if its a zip file, flash it in recovery. if its an img file, flash it in fastboot. until you do a bit more reading and educating yourself, i dont think that youre ready quiet yet. but, thats your choice. just be careful when asking for help in the franco kernel thread without first educating yourself :silly:
Meaning, I just copy the a zipped franco kernel to 'sdcard' on my GN and install it from CWM Recovery and that's it? It'll boot on the new kernel? It reminded me when I had HTC running xdandroid, everything was smooth and easy

yup, thats it. unless its in a .img form, since francisco likes to do that sometimes. if its in .img form, then you need to fastboot flash it.you have a nexus now, its the easiest to modify
Well, I installed Milestone 4 and after installing it I sent it to reboot and it's now frozen on the 'Google' initial screen, should I allow sometime to the Kernel to read the hardware and stuff or its just screwed

was it in zip or boot.img form? maybe it was a bad download. to get back up, either flash a known good kernel or just reflash your rom(in recovery). it shouldnt take more than a minute to pass google.
Its was an ok zip file, how can I access recovery mode? I used to access trough a program called QuickBoot, but since I can't access the userland anymore, how can I access it?

Hold the volume keys and then the power key to enter the bootloader
Then use volume up or down to navigate to Recovery and hit the power key.

pull your battery then reinsert it. then power button + press in between the high and low volume at the same time. this will take you to the bootloader, then chose recovery. anyways, you should give trinity kernel a spin.

Hello peeps,
I've just come from an iphone so please forgive my stupidity. I've been looking around XDA and various other places for 2 days trying to sort my One X, but don't seem to be making any progress.
I currently only have access to the bootloader
I managed to unlock and root the phone, but then got stuck on a boot loop which I haven't been able to get out of. I was able to get into the OS, but had no cell or wifi, but now I'm just stuck in the bootloader after a failed flash of probably an incorrect RUU. The phone has been relocked.
I ran Vtool from post 7 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1989358, and my main version is 2.17.206.2
I'm in the UK on the o2 network.

So do i need to flash the boot.img and the rom from CWM and I should be ok?
Just look around in the One-X forum, do some searching, see if you can find a stock rom to download to your computer then move to your phone.
CWM has this handy feature I think in the "mount" tab, where you can mount your phone as a usb device, from which your computer will pick it up and you'll be able to move the roms file to your phone for flashing.

I have mounted as usb storage and copied the zip file across
I've installed CM, after wiping cache, dalvik, system etc, but seem to be stuck on the JB animation screen.
Wondering if this means the OS is installing, or if I'm still stuffed....
I don't know if I need to do something with the boot.img file as the onlyl thing i did was load the zip file for CM

Personally I've flashed a total of three roms which isn't many, but in all my time spent reading threads of the latest and greatest roms I've never heard anything about a separate boot.img that you needed to flash... (perhaps a One-X specific thing?).
Just be patient with it when it's booting, the first boot after an install always takes longer.

I do need to flash the boot.img first.
I'll do that once my battery gets some more charge.
How much charge does it have right now? It's important to always go into using CWM on a substantial amount of battery life. Upwards of %50 is recommended, but but you should do just fine with around 30, that is assuming you're able to tell.

So you tried fastbooting the ota??? That's not gonna work. You need to download the factory image, then unzip/extract it and put all the contents in your SDK platform-tools file. Then edit and save the flash-all.bat script with the -w removed, then you should be fine :good:

Ah, now I see. In order to downgrade, you have to let your phone get wiped. So put the -w back in the flash-all script.
However, since your phone has already been wiped with unlocking_critical, might as well just flash the January update and don't edit the flash-all script. Then let your phone boot up, do a minimal setup, then go back to fastboot mode and boot twrp, then root if you want to with magisk 15.2 :good:

Well, I'll be damned! Oh well, I learned something new at least. Glad you got it working though :good:
I was buy this phone a few days ago with ubl already. I think that was great because i don't need to unlock the bootloader by myself. Since this my first xiaomi phone, unlocking the bootloader may gave me headache. But when i tried to flash twrp, i face a problem that adb said "FAILED (remote: Requested download size is more than max allowed)". At the same time, in fastboot screen shown "press anykey to shutdown". Is somebody here know what must i do? I was spend at least six days looking for solution on internet.. but, still no luck. Hope someone here will help. Any suggestions will so appreciated.
-Sorry for my bad English
Additional info:
On me, isn't driver or port or my windows 10 problem like some people saying since i can run any fastboot commands (flashing twrp too) with another xiaomi phone.

Sorry for late replying.. Actually, i though fake UBL is not the problem since my device can bind mi account. I do research for 2 weeks and find nothing can solved this problem

Get this zip : https://files.orangefox.website/OrangeFox-Stable/whyred/
Extract it.. find recovery.img and put it in your fastboot folder, run 'fastboot boot recovery.img'.. now, after going to recovery the device will show up as storage in Windows, and put the orange fox zip in internel memory and flash it with booted recovery....

Thanks.. Downloading file right now. I thought i've done that before with older version of OrangeFox without luck. Have try with Official TWRP and RedWolf too with same result. But, will try with latest version like you said :highfive:

Same as before.. fail either. What should i gonna do now?
Actually, my phone already had twrp installed with custom rom too after 2 weeks use time. I can't find solution for my problem so i do unusually step (or you can say frustrating step). Do test point things and flash rom like usual. But, before i replace stock recovery with twrp and rename it like stock one. After that, just start flashing and when it finish, boot to recovery directly and flash magisk plus no verity. Then i got twrp and root.. But, still can't flash anything from fastboot, even flashing with miflash. Just curious what exactly the problem is. I know can repeat the same step just in case i got problem to boot and somehow can't boot to twrp too. But, you know.. that takes lot of time to do
I don't know if ur problem is solved by now, i think you should flash latest dev firmware, that might be the key, have you ever done that after the problem? You should use twrp to do that tho.. and pls take note, every firmware is not supported by everry recovery, but i trust orange fox, and don't try to downgrade firmware too, check always if the cutom rom support the firmware you gonna flash and also check ARB value...
Edit: what does this mean
replace stock recovery with twrp and rename it like stock one
