Hi guys!
I just came to the one x from a nexus s. As you may know the nexus s has "full s-off" as in you can flash the boot.img from recovery etc. All that it takes to flash a rom is the flash of a zip. Similarly nandroids are that simple too. I know that the one x requires you to flash the boot.img through fastboot and i was wondering what effect this has on restoring nandroid backups. If I switch to a totally different rom and decide to restore the nandroid of a previous rom, do i need to manually flash the boot.img of the previous rom?
Thanks

Yes, you can copy the boto.img and flash it using cmd commands " fastboot Erase cache" then "fastboot flash boot boot.img". Then in the recovery use the Nandroid backup. U need to flash the same boot.img of the nandroid

please note that even though nandroid cannot restore your boot.img it does back it up
so you can grab it in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/XXXXXX/boot.img
just pull it
restore your backup
go to fastboot
flash your pulled boot.img
Glad someone asked this.
I've come from a sensation, and was down with flashing ROMs
Re-learning on the One X
Nandroids backs the kernel up, but you still need to flash it through ADB.

Hi guys, the title say it all.
i did a full wipe in recovery, installed cm10, and flashed the boot.img, but i am still stuck at the boot screen for cyanogen mod.
any ideas?
did you do the "fasboot erase cache" command?
What hboot do you have? If it's newer than 1.12 you need a different boot.img.
how do i run the clear cache?
i think i have hboot 1.2 or something like that. which boot.img should i use?
i have hboot 1.36
just like flashing the boot.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Flash this boot.img

thanks a bunch. this worked great!!
in the future, when i want to try out different roms, do i need to use this same boot image?
Always use rom-specific boot.imgs found inside rom.zip.
If the ROM needs a different boot.img, it will be said in ROM thread's OP.

No, each ROM has its own boot.img.
Hi,
I have took back up in TWRP. then flashed custom ROM and its boot image.
When I thought to restore original HTC ROM. I wiped all data and give recovery from backup in TWRP.
It updated the ROM but bootloader was not updated. The One X is hanged at boot screen. then thought of flashing boot.img file but it is not present in TWRP backup.
Anyone please share the orginal boot.img file from nandroid backup. Suggest appropriate way to recover from problem.
Flash the boot.emmc.win file ....that's the boot.img !
Fastboot flash boot boot.emmc.win

Thinking about switching my recovery from Twrp 2.7.0.1 to Philz touch. no current cool looking themes for Twrp,so just wanna check out Philz. I do have a couple questions though hopefully someone can answer....
1) Should i restore from my custom rom on Twrp to my stock backup i made before switching Recoveries?
2)when i switch Recoveries, do my backups delete on twrp? i know the backups on twrp won't carry over on philz but, if i do not like philz and decide to go back to twrp will all my backups be there?
3)Am i screwed if the philz recovery fails and something messes up? or will twrp still be there.
Thanks for any help.
1) You dont need to be on any certain rom, you just need to fastboot flash what ever recovery you want.
2) Your backuls will still be on your storage untill you delete them.
3) If philz dosent flash right, it may not boot to recovery or you may be left with twrp. But either way you can just fastboot flash back to the twrp you were on before.
The Flashify app works great for switching recoveries too. Just remember to check your md5 before you fastboot flash anything. Bad things can happen if you fastboot flash a bad img.

I only use fastboot. If your flash fails, just flash it again. Philz is the best, imo. Just put it in fastboot mode then "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and you are done(where recovery.img is the name of your image file, ijust switch all my current ones to recovery.img when i dump them into my adb folder and erase the old one).
Hey guys, I think i screwed up big time. I have just received my Htc one M8 from rogers (with no bloatware on it .. weird lol ) And i wanted to root it in order to use titanium back up.
So i followed a guide to root the phone everything went well execpt that now my phone boots straight into philz custom recovery....
When i was entering the fastboot commands to flash the recovery to the phone i made a mistake i wrote :
fastboot flash boot recovery.img
instead of
fastboot flash boot recovery recovery.img
....
So my guess is that i have overwritten the boot.img of the phone with the custom recovery which is bad... now i can't use the phone...
Is there a way to flash the stock boot image back? of to restore the phone like it was brand new?
Thanks for you help

Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Yeah this is what i wanted to do but i couldn't find a boot.img. I did find it eventually. here it is in case anyone needs it
Straight, just saying.
The boot.img is always in the rom....Most roms contain the stock boot.img. or check my backup collection and download the stock rom. It has the stock boot.img inside
Thanks a lot.

%i'm not responsible for any harm%
Just backup the rom trough a custom recovery, backup userdata on the pc.
download the new rom (zip) and place it on your phone, unpack the boot.img on your pc,
go in to bootloader (fastboot), and check if you can connect to it using the fastboot toolchain. (fastboot devices)
only if the commandline returns your device, continue
go in your custom recovery, and wipe system, data and cache.
then install the zip with the new rom.
then return to the bootloader, and flash the unpacked boot image by running the command: fastboot flash boot boot.img(path to your boot.img)
good luck
