cannot flash boot.img whatsoever!!!! - HTC One X

hello there everyone.
my one x is rooted and with unlocked bootloader and i am currently on HD revolution rom.
i tried to move to other ROMS (cyanogenmod to be precise) and i know that i need to flash the boot.img manually through CMD on my PC while my phone is one fastboot, but no matter what i do i cannot flash the boot.img!!!
i tried everything and it always says "error cannot load boot.img"
i even tried that CMD tool from team hex but same results!!! it always with those errors!!!!
and when i plug my phone to usb when its on fastbood mode it says failed to master usb mode or something like that, am not sure because it flashes very fast before it goes away.
please please PLEASE can anyone help me??? this thing is beyond frustrating!!!

Anyone ):

what ver of CWM recovery do u have? try doing a fastboot erase cache and reflash recovery..that might help.

make sure ur fastboot and abd files and drviers are installed, along with the htc drivers. the failed to master watever is nothing to worry about. make sure u put ur phone in fastboot usb as well

Try other usb cable or/and other usb port

With your phone connected in Fastboot, and your cmd window open in the directory with your Fastboot.exe file, what does it say when you type 'fastboot devices' ?

I did exactly like that but it didnt work.
I dont know whats the cause of the problem because when i first unlocked the bootloader, i was able to flash boot.img without any problems, now i want to change to another rom but i cant flash the boot.img.
The thing is the first time i did it on my friend's laptop but on mine it didnt want to flash boot.img.
Could this be the reason why its misbehaving on my lap?

Need urgent help please

I tried flashing a theme using the same .zip of a rom for the One X so what I did was I deleted everything and kept the system and META-INF and now I get stuck at the HTC htc quietly brilliant..Luckily I have made a backup through recovery but whenever I go to recovery it just takes me back to the htc quietly brilliant screen. My computer recognizes the phone and everything and the fastboot commands. I tried reflashing recovery it says successfully but it didn't do anything, I still get stuck. I don't really know what to do afterwards. Can someone be so kind and help this poor guy out? Thank you.
If you can go to fastboot mode.
In fastboot mode, try "fastboot erase cache"

Thanks for the replies guys..I relocked and then unlocked the bootloader and reflashed recovery. It deleted my backup. Now my phone has no rom to boot. I tried running the ruu.exe but it says it won't recognize my phone. Everythime I plug my phone on my computer my phone lights up and my computer makes a beep noise
Is there any other way to run/install the ruu.exe? It says I need to have my device connected and it already is

Are you already in the fastboot folder with the RUU?
For detailed instruction for unbricking or reverting to stock, there's a thread for that in devs section.

[Q] Stuck on boot logo

Yesterday the 3 soft keys stopped working, I was planning on installing a newer version of ARHD anyways so I decided to just use the superwipe script to see if it would sort the problem out. Now the phones stuck on the boot logo, I cant enter fastboot or recovery.. any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
No I didn't flash the newer ARHD rom afterwards, I just thought if I flash the superwipe then maybe it would sort out the 3 softkeys, so I could backup my things then flash the new rom
I can manage to get into HBOOT but not into recovery, problem now is i have a new computer so all the drivers are on the old one. So i cant do any commands in cmd?
You need to get adb and the rest of the android sdk tools set up on your computer, then enter fastboot, then type
Code:
fastboot erase cache
This should let you enter recovery and re-flash your rom. If you still can't enter recovery, you'll have to flash the recovery again from fastboot.
Yeah i got sdk and fastboot files, but dont i need my phones drivers installed aswell?

I can't quite remember, but if you try it and it doesn't work then download HTC Sync from their website, that has the drivers you'll need.

Have you tried re-flashing a rom? If that doesn't work then it's probably a hardware issue.

like i said the only steps i could think off and you already tried are:
fastboot erase cache in bootloader if you can go in there
flash a boot.img and then flash the modules in recovery
and that is it really....
your saying your fastboot commands do not work so i am confused how to sort this out...strange...are you sure they are not working fine?
did you try flashing a kernel when you was viper x
there is another person(tadeausz,real77055) with such a problem but his problem is not solved and i cant finde him to know what he did...
yes i tried. a flash insertcoin. coredroid ARHD vyper and all the kernels befor. than tryed vypers rom used it for 8 days and in a moment i noticed that my phone is rebooting by itself.
tryed to wipe dalvik flash boot.im erase cache but didn't helped me. the phone is continuously rebooting. can turn of only via fastboot.

What ROM are you on?
You should flash a repacked version if you are on any rom but Viperx. To fix your bootloop I'll suggest you just look for a repacked version of you're rom, if you can't find one, or there isn't one, I'll do a repack for you. Also you should've typed this in fastboot:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Boot to recovery and flashed those modules(it's the kernel file you downloaded).

So you are rooted then, but on stock? If you are, just make a nandroid backup(Rom manager or from cwm). Go look under clockwork on your SD card and browse that zip for a boot.img file. Upload that to dropbox and post the link. I'll do a repack then

So lets see. You are rooted right? Did you unlock your bootloader via htcdev?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.
I'm assuming both of the stuff just mentioned is true. Also you will need to download the htc drivers, which can be found with their software here:
dl4.htc.com/managed-assets/support/software/htc-sync/htc_sync_setup_3.2.20.exe
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.
Now if you don't have cwm(clockworkmod) recovery installed here is a link for the file: download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.
To flash that file you will need to have the drivers installed as mentioned in above, also you'll need this file here:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/78880032/fastboot.zip
Now extract this file to your main harddrive.
Example C:/fastboot/
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is where you should place the file mentioned at number 2. Also we will work from this folder mostly.
After you installed the htcsync software, and did the steps mentioned above we can go further. Don't forget to answer my two questions at the beginning.

Yes you can flash that rom. I still don't know why you would want a ruu. Just boot to recovery(there is an option once inside hboot) and go to backup and restore. Just choose the backup option and wait for it to finish.

If I understand you correctly, you want to to flash the rom but your PC can't see your sdcard. Is that right?
You can flash from whatever firmware you are on. It doesn't matter. But if my statement above is correct , then I would presume you want to install your drivers.
You should try to set your phone to USB mass storage and see if your PC can still not see it.

OK I understand. So you should flash the latest recovery of the link in the previous page a gave you.
How to flash recovery:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery xxx.img
Where xxx is the name of the recovery.
Boot your phone to hboot and then choose recovery. Then you go to 'mounts and storage' option and right at the bottom should be USB mass storage(of something similar)

ok
and than I can install every rom I want right?
expect for this rom I showed here, because I need frimware there
edit:
I've looked for this usb mass storage and I found only mount usb something, presed on it and all I saw was unmount
what to do now?
edit2:
when im trying to type "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
it says "'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file."
is that because my battery is under 30%?

Boot loop, no device found error, can't do anything

Hi guys I am a new user to xda-developers and I am a noob still at rooting and flashing. What happened is that I had rooted my htc one x tegra 3 international version a couple of days back as i wanted CM10 Alpha 9. It did work but then I wanted to get the CM 10 Alpha 11 after flashing i don't know what happened now my boot screen is only in the CM 10 loading logo and I accidently deleted clockwork recovery (don't ask me how I am an idiot) and when i connect my usb for fastboot it gives a "no device found" error when i give any command in the command prompt and its like i cannot even do anything on my phone like flash a new recovery through fastboot or flash any rom. I mean my phone is literally not working. Can you guys tell me what to do because I have been through many threads here and none of them have helped me maybe because I am an amateur.
I really want my phone to work and I have been trying for the past 3 days and no luck at all :crying:
Thanks

Make sure you have all the correct drivers installed on your pc.
when you plug your phone in bootloader and then fastboot
it should say fastboot usb on your phone
if you have adb and fastboot it should recognise it then, you can flash recovery
try the command
fastboot getvar cid
and see if it comes back with your cid then you will know its working
failing that you can restore it back to stock using an RUU.
ive added some drivers for you.
put them in a folder on your desktop,
Go to fastboot andif your pc cannot find you a driver automatically , then go to device manager, and look for your device then right click and click update. then browse for driver manually and select the folder on your desktop, worked for me
Do You open the command prompt exactly in the folder where the adb drivers are? Left shift+ right click on the folder where the adb files are. Then "open the command prompt here".
Try to command: "fastboot devices" and look what it says

Hey thank you for the helpful reply much appreciated. The usb driver is fine as it says "My HTC" so thats fine. I relocked my phone through fastboot somehow that worked yay! But its weird the fastboot commands work but not adb is there something wrong i am doing, whenever i type any adb command it comes with "no device found error." Plus when I flashed clockwork recovery through fastboot commands it says its successful but it doesnt go there it goes back to the cm10 boot loop. Im guessing because adb is not working or something it must be because of that.

Yes with fastboot its working i get my HTC device but not with adb. Whats the difference anyway im sorry i am a noob so I dont know but I think its important to have adb working or I can't run any recovery right because with fastboot I can flash a recovery but the recovery won't start.
Adb is just a tool which allows the phone to communicate with the computer. If you have rooted your phone you must have it in your computer. It should be in place where you installed SDK drivers. SDK/platform-tools/.

Okay so I managed to get adb working too. Thanks guys but now i flashed CWM Recovery which works and tried to flash CM10 Alpha 11 but again its stuck in the CM10 loading screen. I guess I should now get my stock RUU and install that because I cannot get any custom rom to boot, am I right? That means relocking the phone and getting the stock recovery image. I need to know which stock recovery image to download is it the 1.29.401.7 or 1.29.401.11? I am pretty much guessing the 1.29.401.11 recovery image. And my stock Radio is 2.1204.135.20 which is the European model because I used to get OTA updates before I started rooting and stuff. And I need to be careful if I am doing the correct installation.

Are you flashing the boot.img first in fast boot then flashing the ROM?
That is what it sounds like

Wow thank you so much! You are a life saver I didn't know something so simple I missed out on and when I had been getting instructions from devs to flash custom roms, they didn't even tell us to even flash boot.img or maybe I was thinking it was not important. Wow thank you so much! CM 10 Alpha 11 is working properly and now I learnt a lesson to flash boot.img.
On a final note, if I want my stock RUU radio back, do I need to get boot,img from anywhere or am I fine. What is boot.img anyways?
Again, Thanks everyone I really appreciate it.

If you use Ruu.exe (Rom Update Utility) then you do not need to flash boot.img. It will return your phone to stock. Put boot.img in as well as stock recovery.
