[Q] Install Android Revolution HD HTC One X - HTC One X

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

[Q] Custom ROM installing

Hi,
I'm thinking to install Custom ROM to my DESIRE HD - "Android Revolution HD™ 5.2.5".
As I understand I need two things to make it happen: S-OFF and ClockworkdMod recovery.
#Question 1
As you see in image attached below - my phone is already S-OFF (why?! I did'nt do that!).
Is this means I am already ready to install ClockworkdMod as described in #Question2 ?
#Question 2
How to install recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.6-ace.img - really don't understand this part. Do I need to connect my PHONE to USB and boot in RECOVERY MODE, then do this on my pc:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.6-ace.img
fastboot reboot
(android sdk installed)
Is "ROOTING" doing after this step ?
Will my STOCK ROM will boot with ClockWorkmod ?
#Question 3
If everything goes fine and installation of Custom rom succeeeds. Is there a possibility to revert it back to STOCK using HTC official RUU ?
I couldn't enlarge the image you have attached but I suspect your phone hasn't been downgraded yet. Go through the development forum and find out how to downgrade your dhd thread and you will get all your answer. And everyone thinks of reverting back to stock but once you start flashing custom rom you will be always ahead of stock roms and you will never think to go back.
But reading is essential before you start playing with your $600 toy.

To downgrad just follow this thread and then continue with this one here. Everything is written there and you should do excatly what they tell you to. Or just take this all in one thread.

This questions should be answered in the above threads and how you do it...
If you don't have to downgrade your phone or once it has been downgraded - simply follow this short video.

Help please, New with HTC

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

How to install custom ROM on my HTC desire HD

Hi there,
I have spend couple of hours on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2002349
I want to install some jellybean 4.2.x ROM.
there are lots of lots of metrial on rooting , unlocking too many terminology.
Some of the forum post on this site which were valid earilier for S-off are now no more valid.
Most of them assume that readers know a few thing about rooting process, which turns out to be untrue in my case.
Is there any step by step guide for installing custom rom on HTC desire HD, which upto date?
I have understood what S-Off and S-On means, its a lock that is installed on HTC phone which disallows any hampering ( rooting etc)
in order to install any custom first thing is we need to do S-Off. there are lots of tools available for this, I am not sure which one to go with,
using wrong one will make my phone unusable and may be un-repairable. There seems to be some tool which would S-Off permanently and some would do it temporarily .
After S-Off is done whats next? how to flush memory.
My purpose behind installing a custom RAM is not getting new features. its following
1) A Factory Reseted HTC desire HD has 411 MB memory already full , After restarting post factory reset.
that's less, I can't increase the RAM , so can I install a light weight ROM , which has very less pre-loaded apps.
2) Performance :Sometime its dam slow. un explainable. yo udial someone , it will dial literally after 3-5 minutes.

if you just unlock your phone through htcdev unlock..still S-ON bootloader..then you must flashing manually boot.img extracted from the rom.zip it self after every installing any new custom rom..
1st installing the rom.zip from recovery and reboot to bootloader again after installing rom.zip
2nd select FASTBOOT
3rd extracted the boot.img from rom.zip it self
4th copy the boot.img to your sdk/ android tools folder
5th connect your phone with computer through usb (indicator in your phone is "FASTBOOT USB")
6th open your sdk/ android tools folder through cmd then type "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
7th reboot your phone..and wait about 5-10 minute of the booting rom for the first time...
if your phone bootloader already S-OFF then you don't need to flashing manually again the boot.img from the rom.zip
hopefully this can help...

[Q] HTC ONE X custom rom problem

Hi everyone,
Recently I have bought used htc one x, and apparently it had already installed custom rom on it, ROM is Android Revolution HD 21.0 by mike 1986.
And now I want to update to new jelly bean 4.2.2 with sense 5.0.
but problem is that i dont have requsted unlock code.bin from Htc dev .
I just want to upgrade my phone to 4.2.2 with sense 5.0, but now im lost and dont know how, because phone was bought with preinstalled custom rom.
can I at least get back to official firmware and then update to 4.2.2 with OTA?
it seems like I cant upgrade to android revolution HD 31.0 without unlockcode.bin?
what do you suggest, what should I do? Im completly lost.
thanks in advance
Regards

You already have an unlocked bootloader AND custom recovery if you have a custom ROM.
You download and flash the ARHD v31 Sense 5 ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562603 and flash that.
Plenty instructions on the forum on how.
yes thanks for your reply, but problem is that in one step from tutorial i need to have unlockcode.bin from htcdev, which I dont have because I bought the phone already unlocked and with custom rom.
sorry for noobish questions

Yes that would be the step involving unlocking your bootloader in order to flash a custom recovery etc. You already have these things.
If you restart into bootloader using Power + Vol. Down, at the top of the white screen does it say Unlocked or Relocked?
If it says Unlocked, you do NOT need unlockcode.bin and you skip that step in the tutorial.
it says unlocked...
ok I will download ARHD 31.0 and try...
can I use recovery manager or ROM manager for flashing with new ARHD 31? or you can suggest me one?
thanks
You need to put the rom on your sd card.
Flash the boot in in fastboot then flash the rim zip in recovery.

ok i downloaded required files (flashboot.img and androidrevolutionhd....zip)
because my phone is already rooted, and has custom rom on it, do I follow only these steps, or I have to watch on CID and Hboot :/?
1. Turn OFF the device
2. Turn ON the device in bootloader mode (hold power + vol down)
3. Enter fastboot mode using navigation keys
4. Connect the device to PC via USB cable
5. If you are running Windows OS then double click on 'install-boot-windows.bat'. If you are running Linux or Mac OS then select 'install-boot-linux.sh' or 'install-boot-mac.sh'
6. Done, now enter recovery and flash Android Revolution HD ROM
Make sure boot.img is in fastboot folder and rom is on your phone sd card
1) Boot into bootloader
2) Open cmd prompt in fastboot (on pc)
3) fastboot erase cache
4) fastboot flashboot boot.img
5) fastboot erase cache
6) Reboot into recovery and flash the rom (full wipe clean install)
Reboot and enjoy.
