So on Friday I flashed the alpha build of Cyanogenmod 10 to my One X, which went fine and I made a backup of my stock rom before flashing. Now, today I wanted to go back to the stock HTC rom, so I choose restore in Clockworkmod, which also goes fine, then I boot up the phone and when it gets to the HTC One screen, it hangs there. The tune you get when it gets to that screen also cuts out in the middle each time. Does this mean that my backup is broken and that I'm basically SOL, or is there something else going on here?
As a final note, I've managed to flash back to Cyanogenmod 10 alpha,so I can still use my phone.

You have to flash stock boot.IMG using fastboot BEFORE booting your ROM.
Also remember to send
Fastboot erase cache
Right after flashing the boot IMG.

I know you can get the the stock boot.img out of the RUU files, but is there another way, since the only RUU file download I found is filefactory which is apocalyptically slow (3h+ for a 577MB file, where I only need the boot.img from)?
my version is 1.29.401.11 by the way.

not sure if I'm right but can you not open the backup in windows and extract the zip?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
well, in the mean time, I found another solution: since android revolution HD uses the stock kernel, I downloaded it from there and flashed it via fastboot and it worked fine.
For future reference the boot.IMG is in your backup but cwm cannot flash it. Its in sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/xxxxxxxx/
just Mount USB storage in cwm
Copy the boot IMG from folder to PC
Reboot to fastboot then flash it

Okay, so I'm a semi-noob. I used to have plenty on android phones but switched to the iPhone a year back. I'm back now!
So I rooted the phone on my Mac. All is well in that regard for the most part, but I can't seem to install a custom rom or use clockwork because there isn't a backup available. When I tried to install the customs rom(Modaco vanilla) it just gets stuck on the HTC white screen.
Can anyone help?

There is no cdma custom rom available yet at the moment. All custom roms in dev section are for gsm one v.
That would explain it. Thanks. Hopefully soon!

one other thing... it I turn my phone back on it gets stuck on the white HTC logo. I have to plug it into to my computer and reflash the superboot image and then it'll reboot and turn on. Any idea why???
When you installed the MoDaCo's ROM, did you fastboot flash it's boot.img ? When you revert to your stock ROM, did you flash the boot.img for the stock ROM ?
The superboot img works to root the device only. Once you reboot, the system will read your last boot.img that you fastboot flash. If the your last fastboot boot.img is not the right one for your device, you will have this problem.
The superboot image was the last one I flashed. I guess this is where I'm lost. What is the recovery image I'm supposed to boot next? Is that the sprint/virgin CDMA recovery posted on the same page in the general section?
And what do I need to type in to terminal to do this.
Thanks for your help with all this. I appreciate it.

Based on something I've read online, I could move the img(if its the one i downloaded) from my SD card to /system/recovery.img is this correct?
Sent from my HTC One V using xda app-developers app
I'm not familiar with MAC.
But let me explain this:
fastboot boot boot.img (or boot.superboot.img for this case) -
The boot.img is not permanently installed in the device. You will lose it after reboot.
fastboot flash boot boot.img -
The boot.img is permanently installed in the device.
As the boot.superboot.img is for rooting purpose only, it is not advisable to flash that as a permanent boot.img
What you need now is to flash the stock boot.img. Download from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28218226&postcount=11
Then use this command : fastboot flash boot boot.img
And here is the recovery.img for your device : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749798
Thanks a million! just flashed that boot.img and the phone is booting right up now. Next on my list is the recovery img, but i have to sleep.
Thanks again. You were a huge help.
Hi there,
I have recently bricked my HOX by trying to install the latest BinDroid ROM.
I did root the device properly and I dont know what went wrong during the ROM installation.
Short story; the device stuck on bootloop and now runs out of juice. Is there any way to get it back to work or I just have to send it to HTC for repair.
What exactly did you do and when did it fail.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
If you have flashed the most recent recovery you can charge in recovery, I would suggest plugging in.
Turn on by holding power + volume down
If you get the white hoot screen go into recovery and leave it to charge.
Your rom is probably bootlooping because you didn't manually flash the boot.IMG that came with the Rom in fastboot
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
The problem is, I already relocked my HOX to install stock RUU, but the power is less than 30%.
Ok. I have done this in the past.
Plug phone in to wall
Power on.
Choose power off.
Phone will reboot
Repeat process many times.
While the phone is rebooting it is actually charging for a few second
You may have to do this quite a while to get above 30 %
Once there unlock and boot into recovery so you can charge to full
Learn the lesson and don't play with low battery

I'm in recovery now, using 'recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru'...
Should be fine right?:good:
Yes. That version will allow you to charge.
Then its just getting a Rom working
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Hey I know you've already got it to charge but for other people's information according to the wiki and further to the other users comment you could leave the screen on the HTC quietly brilliant screen and it would still continue to charge although it doesn't appear to be. It really is.
Dno if you've fixed it but now you need to try either a nandroid back up and flash the boot.img inside that via fastboot on your computer. Or a custom Rom and flash THAT boot.img via fastboot.
I hope to god you've got one of those on the root of your phone storage, otherwise your last resort is a ruu :thumbup:

It's okay, everyone starts somewhere and i don't pretend to be a professional but i'll try help. And yeah the HTC quiterly brilliant screen was just incase you didn't have enough charge to enter fastboot
Basically a nandroid back up is a back up file created by a custom recovery (e.g. Clockwordmod), this backs up EVERYTHING, your whole system and rom (it's important to do these before flashing custom roms, incase anything goes wrong). But anyway, i doubt you've done that so moving on.
Basically our HTC one x's cannot be S-off at the moment, so because of this we only have access to certain parts of the system and boot files.
You need to find the rom you put on your HTC One X and put it on your computer (or download it from somewhere). Unzip it and find the boot.img. This process is sort of like the one where you unlocked your bootloader.
You need to plug your phone into the computer which has SDK tools and everything installed and enter CMD - and put your phone into fastboot usb mode.
Assuming you followed HTC dev method you'd copy the boot.img out of the rom folder you unzipped earlier and place it in C:/Android
Open command prompt (windows) or the linux/MAC variant
and type the following
cd C:/Android
then
fastboot flash boot boot.img
This will flash the boot.img for your rom
then type
fastboot erase cache (i think)
and reboot your phone through the bootloader. It should now boot.

Thanks to all, I have finally Install RUU and re-rooted my HOX.

glad to hear good news my friend..and a new update should be tonight or tomorrow with a new ARHD
have read the ARHD 7.2.0 latest feedback, and tried to flash 7.2.0 over the 7.1.0 w/out Superwipe but stuck on HTC One screen.
Now i restore back my ARHD 7.1.0..
Once the 7.2.1 version out, can I flash it without flashing 7.2.0.

Okay, so I decided to root and flash a new rom on my phone since I didn't like my stock one. I went through all the processes (I think). I flashed the recovery, installed superu or whatever its called, wiped my phones rom, tried to flash a rom called paranoid android and it said it failed. I then realized I forgot to make a backup.... i restarted my phone and now it's stuck in the 'HTC quietly brilliant' screen. I have no idea what to do

Here's a handy guide for you.
I used it myself back when I screwed up.
If you have Virgin Mobile then the RUU you want is called
Code:
RUU_PRIMO_C_ICS_40A_Sprint_WWE_VM_1.08.652.6_Radio_1.00.00.0521_2_NV_VM_3.46_0503_PRL61008_release_262414_signed.exe
If not, then try to figure it out. Good luck! :fingers-crossed:

**** logic.... if he flashed a new recovery, he obviously unlocked his bootloader.....
as for the OP's problem: dude, your downloaded rom is corrupted, download the rom again and flash it. and do not forget, you also need to flash the correct kernel.

Get in the recovery, mounts and storage, mount usb storage. Now the computer will open your sd card folder, so just put the rom there and flash it normally. For the kernel, get to the hboot connect the phone to the computer and wait that it says fast boot usb, then put the kernel in the fast boot folder on your computer, run the cmd, get to the fast boot folder and type fastboot flash boot (your kernel).img

Okay I got my kernal flashed and a rom with cyanogenmod thing. But it seems to freeze and then reboot by itself a lot.. I feel helpless
do a full wipe from recovery.
Sent from my ST25i
Full wipe, then try a different ROM? I liked CM10 but I guess it doesn't like me back
yeah,you also have to install its specific kernel
Okay I got the cdma pacman rom and its specified kernel. It STILL reboots after 30 seconds. Someone in that thread mentioned flashing over a stock rom, but that just confuses me. I just want to be able to make some calls badly
now fool n final do this.>>>
1. download rom and gapps,transfer them to root of SD card
2. extract boot.img(the kernel) from ROM zip and place it in fastboot folder(or use whichever kernel prescribed by the dev)
3. go into bootloader, FIRST flash the boot.img in fastboot(does the screen say FASTBOOT USB when u connect the phone to the PC?)
4. go into recovery, then FULL WIPE-factory reset, erase cache and dalvik cache.
5. then flash the ROM.
6. boot into the rom.then again enter into recovery and then flash gapps.
do the above steps in the same order all over again....
Full*
You most likely have the new update and radio. The newer one ends in .9xx, the one you need ends in .5xx. Can't remember the exact numbers. Download and install the RUU with Sprint in the name and you will be able install a custom Rom and kernel.
Okay thanks I will try that.
Okay i got the ruu went through the steps and it said i had the incorrect ruu for my phone. my cid is htsi 005 and i cant find the ruu for that cid :l

Is there a way of removing all boot.img files i hv pushed in my phone through cmd.In case if there is a limit...
Did you flash the correct boot.img associated with the Rom your flashing? (Each different roms boot.img is generally only for the Rom its from)
When you restored your backup, did you flash the backed up boot.img located in the backup folder on the sdcard?

Nandroid backups do not require to flash the boot.img in fastboot. Boot.img are not stored in the phone. Every time you flash a different one the other is overwritten. It is like replacing the rom...that is why full wipe is important.
