I come from the SGAce forums where flashing is just download-and-flash method and now I wanna try the HTC One X and use ARHD Rom (used it on my friend's Gnexus) And I really don't know what to do! It's just too complicated for me
My bootloader is already unlocked and it's only a test phone I borrowed cause I'm not sure what to buy yet
If anyone can help Here as well as ow to flash the rom and the .bat file
THANK YOU A LOT
First you need unlock bootloader to flash custom recovery. Follow this guide for example how to do it.
After recovery, make a backup of your current rom.
After backup, download ARHD 5.1.0 and superwipe script to your sdcard, after you got them both flash boot.img from ARHD thread. (Download this & run "install-boot.bat") This is mandatory because without S-OFF one can't flash boot.img from recovery, and without boot.img flashed one can't boot their device or it won't work properly.
Then to the basic flashing process, boot to recovery and flash superwipe script and afterwards flash ARHD and you're good to go!
BTW, you don't need to flash firmware files

Hi
I think i screwed up BIG TIME! Please help me if you have an idea!
i tried to flash the latest ARHD, comming from the lite version, i decided to go for the full package.
followed the guide, fastboot boot .img, clear chache etc. but when i got to the flashing part, recovery wouldnt run the .zip file (bad)
Now i dont have any nandroid backups or any other roms to try and flash. I've superwiped, so theres no roms installed, so i guess i cant access my "sdcard"..
And also, i have OSX, so i dont know how to do the sdk stuff
Are there any way to fastboot a new rom? or any other way to get my phone running again?
thanks
see this thread or follow these steps
flash stock recovery
relock bootloader
flash ruu
flash recovery
unlock bootloader
thank you..
as i cant run an exe file, is is nessesary to do that to get the boot.img from the zipfile? it says in some guides that you have to make sure that the exe is running before getting the boot.img
or is it possible to download the boot.img directly?
im downloading the ruu now

why can't you run the .exe? what you can do is extract the boot.img from the rom.zip and flash it through fasboot
Hi, i´m just new on Android. The HTC One X is my first Smartphone and i want to install the Android Revolution HD 6.0 rom. I know this: First i need unlocked via Htcdev and install SuperSU. That is clear for me.
But in the instruction for ARHD 6.0 says, that i need to flash the boot.img of the rom first and then install the rom. In the tutorial are 3 files: ARHD 6.0 - ARHD super wipe and flash_boot_6.0.0. In the last find a READ ME: I need to run the install-boot-windows.bat and then install the ARHD in Recovery.
That is where i´m confused.
Must i the boot.img of the ARHD One X 6.0.0 flash or run the intall-boot-windows.bat. Or both?
I know, are many tutorials but i have this problem and it´s my first time with Android and ROMS.
BTW i´ve install the last OTA (1.29.401.11), i live in germany and my phone ist unbranded. There is a problem with this. Must i have the 1.28.401.9?

Yes you do need it and it needs to be flashed prior to flashing the rom. Simply open the zip file once its downloaded, put your phone into fastboot-usb and run the install-windows.bat file. The boot.img file is then automatically flashed.
The boot.img is packaged in the zip/rar file, which contains a batch file that somewhat automates the boot flash. So, the boot.img and the flash boot 6.0 are one and the same step.
Yea you need it.
But you don't flash it using CWR, instead you unzip on your pc and run the script for your OS. In windows its a bat file that flashes the boot.img to your phone
EDIT: hehe need to learn to reload the site before replying =P

Don't be panic . Just goto fastboot and flash the respective boot.img for the Rom you have flashed.
First erase the cache and flash the boot.img

Hi all,
Recently rooted my one x (used to have a rooted desire) and changing rom isn't as easy as I remember.
I've searched the forums and the net but can't find much about swapping onto a different rom. I've put it onto MIUI V4 but want to try out cyanogenmod 10/9 but i keep getting boot loops. From what i've read i think its something to do with the boot img? Can anyone help or link me to a guide?
I have managed to restore onto MIUI through the clockwork recovery. Also in ROM manager i can only see MIUI roms :s
Don't use ROM Manager - it's crap
With the One X you can't flash a new boot.img from Recovery so you have to flash the boot.img in a ROMs ZIP file before flashing the ROM using the fastboot command 'fastboot flash boot boot.img'
Guides are in the Dev forum, or Google it
This may help you.

But as said above, basically any ROM you want to change to, you need to extract the boot.img from the roms .zip, flash it using the fastboot command, then flash the ROM via recovery.

Thanks for both of your replys. That thread really helps, going to give it a go tonight!
I've been using the HTC Desire HD for a long time, and I was wondering if things I've learnt with that phone are still relevant.
With the DHD, if the phone was S-ON (but with an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery), whenever flashing a new ROM it was necessary to extract the boot.img file from the zip and flash it manually by using: fastboot flash boot boot.img.
That was because a custom recovery couldn't flash a custom kernel while the device was S-ON.
Is that also the case with an M8 device that stays S-ON?
Or is a custom recovery now able to write any custom kernel regardless of being S-ON/S-OFF?
Thanks!
Indeed
s-on = Flash kernel via fastboot
s-off = kernel is flashed via rom/recovery
Thank you for the quick reply!
quick question..if what you say is true..if s on flash kernal in fastboot..if s off just flash normally threw recovery...why in captins thread with his GPE rom..says s off users must flash boot.img in fastboot?...i was about to try his rom ,before i got to that part..i am s off and ive never had to flash a boot.img threw fastboot before flashing the rom....next question..do i need to unpack the rom zip ,extract the boot.img flash it in fastboot..then repack the zip and flash again in recovery?ive never had to do this..i thought i would see a boot.img zip as a seperate download wouldve been lot easier...ive never unpacked a zip to extract a boot.img before...so i had to back out for now..can someone plz give me step by step directions how to flash captins GPE rom..really appreciate it..and i know im in the correct section to ask such a newbie question..thanks in advance
is this still true with modern Marshmallow/Nougat ROMs (and their associated firmware updates)? the device is unlocked and S-ON?
example: I just flashed ViperROM v6.1 on Tmobile M8 with v6.2 firmware and separate flash of boot.img NOT required.
In fact, I validated theory by doing the traditional procedure and result as phone that did not boot.
traditional procedure: flash ROM via TWRP and reboot direct into bootloader and fastboot. then finalize by manual flash of boot.img via fastboot. boot.img pulled from root directory of ROM zip.
any insight would be appreciated. -GA

No need to flash boot.img separately using fastboot (with s-on).
But it shouldn't hurt anything, either. It's just a redundant step, as you are just flashing the same boot.img that TWRP is already installing.
Try it again, without flashing boot.img separately. But I have a feeling something else is causing no boot. Make sure you are using current TWRP (version 3.1) with default TWRP wipe (cache, dalvik and data), or try another ROM.
I tried installing cm rom ...stable version...and by mistake wiped everything...the rom gave me get prop error....after that the mobile is stuck on hboot
i can unlock the bootloader and lock it and its on HBOOT. Plus i installed the TWRP. Tried side loading rom to it but error.

3. Download TWRP 2.7.1 and paste it in your fastboot foldert and flash it fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and then fastboot flash boot boot.img and last fastboot erase cache
4. Go in recovery flash First CM11.zip then Gapps and reboot and voala
