[Q] stock + custom firmware dualboot

Hello everyone!
I am planing to root my htc desire hd cause i've read lots of stunning stuff you can do when your phone is rooted.
like using the newest version of android, installing google now and so on..
But my question is, is it possible to stay with my stock firmware (and if possible stock kernel?) somehow
and use one or more custom firmwares with programs like boot manager to find one for daily use?
and what are the disadvantages of using a custom kernel? cause i've read the following, looking through your forums:
In the present case,It is hard to say which kernel is good .All unofficial kernel have the same headphone button issue,and only 5 sensors(DHD have 7 sensors).

(i dont even know what he means with 7 sensors.. )

If you use AAHK (no idea about HTCDEV method) you can simply do a full image backup of your stock firmware, including your kernel (this is called a nandroid backup), after you've rooted but before you flash a custom ROM. Then, wipe and flash custom firmwares to your heart's content. If you ever want stock back, just restore that backup. I'm not aware of a dual boot manager, though.
Usually, the kernel that came with the firmware (aka ROM) is the best kernel. Devs will post about alternate kernels that are compatible with their ROMs. (Note that if you're planning to use the latest version of Android, Jelly Bean, there is a compatible alternate kernel.)
No idea about those sensors.

Yes u can boot multiple roms using boot manager i hv seen it work but i hvnt been able to do it myself or u can say i was less intrested to pay attention. But the answer is yes u can. Head on to the boot manager in play store it gives u all the info u need to get u phone run two or more roms at the same time.
P.S: Speaking of which i think i might give it another go again but this time with interest.

MIUI ROM issues

Upon finally achieving s-off on my phone, one of the ROMs I've wanted to run was tge MIUI. well it worked on the first try after rooting but boot looped when i had to reboot it. Reflashed it again and it happened again. Can anyone help?
Sent from my rooted incredible 2

Which version of MIUI is it?
I just had this same problem with ICS] Unofficial Multilang MIUI4 - v 2.12.21 Rom
I realized that i was still using the way outdated radio which my phone bootlooped as soon as MIUI tried to load it.
alot of these newer ICS/JB roms require you to update to the new ICS radio 1.09.01.0320
I installed the new radio and it works great! I can reboot all i want.
I used this one on Team venoms Roms thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1953899
here is another place to get it with inctructions on how to install it

All apps crashing after a rec520overy
Hello
I'm experiencing a weird bug, but a first I must say, I'm not a newbie
I'm using the rom HD revolution 33.1 on my HTC ONE X for more than a year, but after a falty problem my boot scrambled, I was able to repair the boot, re flash it, then flashed the clockworkmod, reinstaled the rom. The problem happened after that, almost all the apps and services are crashing Already do a full wipe, factory reset, used the stock rom and tried other roms. like cyanogen. My last test was to use a backup from last week, and even that wont solve this bizarre problem
Did any of you has experienced such problem? If yes, how can I fix it?
Best regards.
PS: i'm using firmware 1.39 and clockworkmod 6.0.4.8

Hi Thant
I've flashed a newer recovery(6.0.4.8) and formated every partition, except de virtual sd card. the process also removed the root privilege.
After re-root an a full wipe script from the HD revolution, the problem was solved
Probably was a bad sector in the memory.
Thank very much for your answer :highfive:

Hi to all
I have installed ROM "Android revolution HD 17.1" can I install this ROm without changing the "firmware collection for different CID/MID" and Proper HBOOT version for Jelly Bean based ROM

/
Great ROM, amazing battery life.

problem about SU
Hello guys,
i am using Android Revolution HD 33.1 on my HTC One X. I want to ask a question. yesterday, i installed some modes via Xposed Installer. but after rebooting the phone, i have a warning popup message about SuperUser. it says :
"
Install
---------------------------
The Superuser binary (su) must be updated.
Please choose an installation method.
Recovery mode installation is recomended for HTC devices.
Cancel - Recovery Install - Install
"
do i have this problem because my recovery version is old? or maybe Superuser version?
i think, i use SuperSU v0.94 (something like that, i donot know exactly, but in that time, there was v9.6 or v0.96 whatever). and i use clockworkd mod recovery v5.8.4.0.
Could you please briefly tell me what to do?

update?
any updates coming out anytime soon?

Hello XDA dev!
Sorry for my lack of knowledge, but I would really appreciate some help!
I recently have earned a ONE X. I am really willing to put this ROM on it, but I've never done anything like that, have no clue on what I have to do, where should I start.
I had it from England, it was locked on O2 service, got it now in my town and couldn't use my SIM, so I bought a code on internet for 12 bucks and now it is opened to all services.
Otherwise, the phone is completely stock.
Is there any newbie step-by-step tutorials which could help me out?
Or maybe even someone who knows how to, could add me on Skype and help me out?
Thanks in advice!

Stuck on boot logo - wrong CID?
Since rooting the phone (International endeavoru of course) I've tried a few lollipop-based ROMS (Remix and Xenon) but wanted to try out ARHD now to get real stability and reliability. But I just can't seem to make it work. It just get stuck at boot logo during startup. And yes, I have flashed the boot.img too... Tried it over and over again. Doesn't want to play...
Could it be that I am on a Swedish H3G-phone? Do I have to switch CID? HBOOT? Radio? Get S-OFF?
Current versions of stuff
S-ON
HBOOT: 1.72.0000
Radio: 5.1204.171.31H

Welcome to the VZN M7 Forums! I have successfully used sunshine to unlock my BL on Android 4.4.3. I did a lot of research on which recovery I wanted to use. I had in the past on my Motorola RAZR and Droid4. I tried CWM 1st. Then found out that I had a possibility of loosing root. Out with CWM and in with TWRP. I made backups of my stock rooted phone. Then I installed a deodexed (debloated) KitKat ROM. I got a noticeable performance response. Less lag. I then looked into kernels. I chose ElementalX for the sheer power control it gives me. But, the ROM I was using wasn't supporting the changes I was making. Solution? I decided to do a full format and fresh install for ViperROM and ElementalX kernel. Also, just bought the EX kernel app.
Current setup:
Current TWRP Recovery
EX Kernel 18.0
ViperROM 7.0.2

Woo that ex kernel looks nice. Do you know a ruu I could use to update my firmware to use those an possibly a link to the current twrp? I can't wait to use dt2w.

I only recommend going to either 4.4.3 or 4.4.4 since a lot of the M7 owners who have updated to Lollipop are experiencing issues of some sort.

I also advise purchasing the EX Kernel App manager if you really like the Kernel features. This way you dont have to reboot everytime you want to change a parameter
Edit: looking for 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 RUU
Edit2: RUU found by another member

Yes i mean trickster mod. Actually i have a very little knowledge about kernels so it would be better for you to ask someone else and as for the RUU , I would recommend the lollipop RUU because it has the latest firmware otherwise you can use that 4.4.3. You can even flash the firmware only zip the first link in my previous post.

Uh well i installed the 4.4.3 ruu and flashed twrp then tried to install the ex kernel but it boot loops am i doing something wrong?

Yes for using that ex kernel you have to update to lollipop version it wont work on 4.4.3 its in the description of that kernel. If you want to use 4.4.3 only try to use some other kernel.

Yup i'm on 6.22.605.3 i used the official ota to update just downloaded the two zip files and flashed them in stock recovery. I'm noticing significant lag and hanging problem since i updated to lollipop. I'm also thinking to downgrade to 4.4.3 using the S-ON RUU i like to use pure stock but i have s-off and bootloader unlocked so that i can downgrade anytime. Remeber one thing never S-On your device a number of people did that and now they have bricked phone. Good luck happy flashing :good:

Thanks for the info. Gana try downgrading after I drink a gallon of coffee.

Try to erase cahce and then reboot again if that doesn't work then either problem is with the sense version or somthing else.

Looks like i need to flash a insecure kernel first then flash ex kernel. Also you know where to get the most recent version of ex kernel for kk?

You can't flash the GSM version of ElementalX on a Verizon m7.
You can look for latest ported version in Verizon m7 original development section.
I forget what the last version posted was, as I port and modify my own...but I'm pretty sure Kitkat is there.
