I can get into HBOOT. any ideas on please what i need to do to get this working again please?
Thanks
You can get to Recovery from HBOOT surely? Just scroll down one.
You need to flash stock boot.img as nandroid restore will not restore the stock boot.img. You're still on the last boot.img that you flashed, that is why it is stuck on splash/bootloop

I rooted my phone and tried coredroid but decided that i preferred the stock rom and everything in it so decided to flash back. I had made a nandroid backup, so flashed it, and restored the recovery and relocked the device, however. now when trying to select music to play or to try and change the ringtone, the phone will crash and reboot. this happens every time, am downloading the RUU now to see if that will fix it, but does anyone have any ideas, any help would be much appreciated
i experienced that before and it was late when i realized it was because of the boot.img that you flashed from the custom rom, since you restored back to stock rom your boot.img file your using is still the custom rom that you used, try to post from the thread of coredroid and ask for the boot.img to be flashed for you to use your stock rom and remove the restart issues
Just extract the boot.img from your nandroid backup and flash it via fastboot (you'll need to unlock your bootloader again if you've already relocked it)
THANKS!!!
OMG thanks it worked, i dunno why the CWM didnt flash the boot.img as well, anyway it works now, thanks both of you for the help

CWM can't write to the boot partition without S-OFF, which is why you have to manually flash a boot.img through fastboot when you install a new ROM. But it also means you have to do the same thing when restoring a backup.
hi
i just rooted added CWM and flashed my 1st custome rom ARHD 9.10
it req to flash a boot.img before flashing the rom i did it flashed the rom everything is ok .Before that i did a nand backup of my orignal rom
now for my info if needed in the future my qestion is
if i want to go back to my orignal nand backup can i just flash it back via CWM
ie restore my backed up orignal stock rom
i did ask this question in one of the threads and they say
this : extract boot.img from your nandroid > flash it with fastboot > go in CWM recovery Flash back the backed up orignal rom via CWM
im not a techie but just going by logic i feel as my original baked up rom has the original boot.img. If i just restore it Via CWM it should work
before i try this and may be brick my 2 weeks old phone can any one kindly give me the exact process for the same :laugh:
thanks in advance & sorry if this has been asked and answered i did search and could not find any answers for the same:laugh:

You must flash the boot.img inside your nandroid backup if you are going to restore.

Yup, place the nandroid boot.img in a folder along with the fastboot files. When you are going to restore plug in your phone to your computer. Open CMD and navigate to your fastboot folder. Type adb reboot-bootloader to enter fastboot on your phone. Then type fastboot flash boot boot.img. After that you are good to restore your nandroid backup!

hi
thanks again buddy
im not new to flashing android custom roms i have done it on my other phones
like the SG3(I5801), HTC tattoo & my last phone Spice MI410(Ideos x6)
but the Bl**dy process on the HOX seems to be too confusing for me
may be ill get it soon:good::laugh:
Flashing a stock ROM is the same.process as flashing any other ROM.
The reason boot.img has to be done separately is because HTC haven't got round to fixing the bootloader to allow flashing the boot.img. When they do that (I though MoDaCo Paul was chasing them.at one point), then flashing ROMs will be one step process again.

Hey guys,
I have a One V that I successfully bootloader unlocked and rooted. I went to intall a custom ROM, both AOKP JB and then CM9 and they keep boot looping. I looked and my radio is 1.00.00.028. I had an old One V with Radio version 1.00.00.0521 and that worked fine with custom ROMs, so I am sure it is the Radio version.
I did make a back up and tried to restore but it keeps looping still becuase I think it is the wrong boot.img that I flashed in fastboot. I don't have a back up of that and I don't know how to extract that boot.img from the TWRP back up. It is a .win file.
Please help. Do you have any advice or links to point me to get this boot again.
Thank you

Hi everyone,
I rooted my phone and played around with some custom roms, but I need to send my phone to get it repaired. I attempted to unroot and revert back to stock.
I followed a video, but I can't link it.
The steps were:
Flash the stock recovery.img
Relock the phone
Install the RUU
It was all going smoothly, until I realised my phone is on 2.17 and not 1.26, the RUU didn't work, and now it is stuck in the fastboot menu.
My CID is OPTUS001, is there anything I can do? I've been frantically searching, but I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to this.
All help is incredibly appreciated!
Yeah mate, get your Optus 001 2.17 nandroid backup here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140
Unpack it to the right backup folder on the sdcard (read the OP of the thread please)
Flash the boot.img from the nandroid backup, perform a full wipe in the recovery and restore the backup. Once its up and running you also grab the 2.17 stock recovery from the OP of that same thread and flash it. Relock the bootloader and you are as stock as you can get.
OK, this sounds like it could be good. Currently downloading the nandroid backup.
Do I need to be unlocked and have CWM installed? Because currently my phone is relocked and I have the stock recovery installed, I can't access CWM. So I think I need to re-unlock and install CWM, right?
Yes correct
Ok thanks, this will be interesting to try and to this...
Well, I followed the instructions, but when I went to restore the RUU in CWM it wouldn't work so I tried rebooting back into the bootloader. I failed, now I'm stuck with the boot logo and in an endless boot loop. So another problem. I am so close to throwing this phone out the window. Pretty sure it's bricked.
Hold the power button and the volume - button together as long as it takes to get into the bootloader. From there you can enter the recovery.
What went wrong with the restore ? And its not a ruu.....its a nandroid backup.
Did you unpack it and put the files in the right folder ?
And no its not bricked.
Yeah I meant nandroid backup. Scratch that last post. Was just a minor meltdown, got the backup working now, think I'm good.
Thanks so much for your help
No problem ! :thumbup:
CASE CLOSED !
Hi XDA-developers,
Recently, I tried some new ROMs. I started by going from stock to ARHD and then switched over to Cyanogenmod. I now want to revert back to Cyanogenmod, but I've had no luck getting my phone to work. Here's what I have:
My HTC One X runs ClockWorkMod as recovery, I have three nandroid-backups: Stock, ARHD and Cyanogenmod.
I first erased my phone in CWM. I then restored the ARHD nandroid-backup and that completed succesfully. But when I tried to boot up the phone, it got stuck at the boot-screen where the phone says 'One' in big letters. I tried to wipe it again and load the stock ROM but that also got me stuck on the boot-screen. Finally, I tried reflashing the Cyanogenmod nandroid-backup but that gave me a MD5 Mismatch error...
I tried fixing the MD5 error by following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1835914 but got the 'File '*img' not found' error.
Results from fastboot get-var version-main: 3.20.401.1
If you need any additional info, I will try to provide it. Thanks for reading my question. :good:

Did you flash matching boot.img (kernel) after each nandroid backup flash?

No, because I thought the boot.img was flashed with the Nandroid-backup (according to the log that is displayed in CWM).
But I just downloaded a stock Nandroid-backup so I'll extract the boot.img from that and flash it and see if that works!

Oh, that's why. I have read about S-ON but I don't know anything about it as the One X apparently does not support it. I'll flash corresponding boot.imgs in the future!
My phone works now, I flashed a boot.img from a stock nandroid-backup. Thanks for the fast replies!

Good to hear! and yes, every rom (or nandroid backup) exchange require also their boot.img flashing!
