[Q] Trouble Flashing hboot cm7

Hi
I wonder if someone could help with a problem I'm having trying to flash HBOOT CM7.
I am s-off with revolutionary and with 4ext recovery.
This is what I've been doing:
- full wipe / factory reset using 4ext
- go to fastboot and use Android flasher to flash CM7 which it does successfully as I can see the pink heading change to CM7 on the phone's HBOOT screen.
- Boot into recovery
- Recovery opens but I get the error messages E can't open cache ... ... ... and it continuously reboots.
At this point I return to fastboot flash back to stock HBOOT and all is well.
I had a search for this problem and the advice was to completely wipe before the flashing the CM7 HBOOT. The first time I hadn't done this but the second and third time I did. The third time was with a new download.
Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Bad download of the image maybe. Did you downloaded it again and checked the file. More info on the way you flashed your hboot would be great.

Phone would most likely be bricked if that was the case.
SwiftKeyed from my HTC Desire using XDA App.

Try "fastboot reboot-bootloader" And Then "fastboot erase cache" After flashing cm7r2
That should resolve The problem

I had to reflash the cmr7 hboot file from fastboot 1time again after the first time....had a recovery bootloop....kept on refreshing over and over. After the second flash of the ext4 recovery all worked fine

Depends if it affects the bootloader, in this case the problem lies with the recovery that can ne flashed through the bootloader menu....or am i wrong ? Still learning here so don't know if i am right

Thanks everyone for your prompt responses. Will try loler90's suggestion tomorrow and report back.

Thanks this worked. I did it using Android Flasher and the command line and used the following commands:
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot bootloader
thanks again.

Keeps rebooting Ideas please!

Hi All,
I did the silly thing of flashing my phone with another boot.img and obviously forgot to extract the ROM to my phone but didn't realise this until after.
My problem is, the phone will get to the main menu with the sense ring and freeze and reboot.
I have tried looking everywhere for a fix but can't seem to find one Hope you all can help.
Kind regards
James

Thanks for your reply, I have flashed the boot image again (I didn't get to the stage of installing the new ROM so it's still at stock ROM but the boot.img is the part that is buggered, when you say flash the modules.
I have been trying to find the stock Boot.img but no luck nothing seems to be working, my son isn't going to be happy!

Get ARHD , your son will be happier XD

[Q] I did a really stupid thing (Formatted HTC One X ... completely)

So yeah ... Hi
Yesterday evening I decided that I was sick of HTC Sense and wanted to unlock my bootloader, root my HTC One X and install cyanogenmod.
When I got, what appeared to be a bootloop, I panicked and did something really stupid. I kinda decided that it was a good idea to go into my ClockworkMod Recovery and formatted everything, including data and system.
Now I can't do anything with my phone of course. Also there appears to be no way to access the SD card inside and I can't take it out.
I have no recoveries or backup's and my laptop does not detect my phone at all.
Please help me, I would like to get my phone fixed as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance

If you have the latest version of Clockworkmod just go to 'mounts and storage' and mount usb storage. Afterwards, copy your ROM zip onto the sdcard

How can I do that if I can not get it onto my phone?
Because there is absolutely nothing there no rom nothing except clockwork mod 5.8.2.7 and the bootloader.

Download it from clockworkmods official site. In bootloader's fastboot mode, flash it using
"fastboot flash recovery filename.zip"

Can you give me a little bit more information about how to do this and what to watch out for. Like how much percent of my battery do I still need to have, stuff like that.
Thanks in advance

Just to clear up any misreads or anything, the original HTC sense is also no longer available.

You need to look in the search for one x one click tool (there are others) and use that. There will be instructions on the thread though it's pretty self explanatory. Don't panic your phone will be fine but I'd turn it off as you read or you will cause yourself more hassle. Im typing this as I walk so can't be more helpful.
Good luck

Download this recovery
http://db.tt/Krlm4dPs
Rename it to recovery.img and copy it to the fastboot folder on the pc, now put the phone in fastboot usb mode (hold power and volume down button until it restarts into the bootloader)
Flash it with fastboot
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then enter recovery and mount the sdcard as usb drive and copy the Rom.zip over. Boot back into bootloader with this command
Adb reboot bootloader
Flash the boot.img from the rom.zip from fastboot (copy it from the rom.zip to the fastboot folder on pc, just like the recovery)
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Enter recovery and do a full wipe and install the rom.zip from the menu "install zip from sdcard"
Should do it !

Ok, thanks for all the great info guys. Because of you I am now able to connect my phone to my pc however I installed cyanogenmod 10 and somehow it flashed the boot.img and it still does not boot. The only thing I get to see is the HTC screen and that is what it stays on. Does anyone have any more tips to solve this and let me boot into my cyanogenmod?

Hboot version?

2 things could be - or your HBOOT version is too low or you haven't flashed the boot.img of the rom before/after the installation

hmmm.... no... i mean if he had like an 1.12 version he can't install JB roms untill he updates to 1.3x HBOOT or will happen what happen to him - he will stuck on the boot... am i wrong?

That only applies to Sense ROMs.
On CM10 and some other AOSP roms it's the other way around: they only run on older hboots and updating hboot results in bootloop.
It can be fixed though, but we need his hboot version.

OH!! About the fact that nonSense roms work only on older HBOOT i knew, but i didn't know that CM is a one XD
so....I can't install the CM10 on my HOX with 1.36 HBOOT? bummer >< i wanted to try it ^^
Do you happen to experience developing roms? i need some help if you can

Like I said, it can be fixed. You only have to flash a kernel which is modified to work with newer hboots. It is is post 9308 in CM10 thread. And fyi: GPS is not functional on this kernel.
I am not a rom developer, but feel free to ask whatever you want.
PM me so we don't bloat up this thread.

Ok guys, thanks for all the awesome advice.
At the moment I am able to connect to my pc and able so that issieu has already been fixed
But yeah I'm stuck at the HTC boot up screen and I used to be stuck at a bootloop of CM10 before I flashed boot.img
I hope you guys know a solution for this. Thanks in advance.

[Q] Installing Viper x 4.0.0 Sense 5 problem

I have installed Viper X 4.0.0 using a full wipe and after it has successfully installed and reboots the phone does not proceed post the HTC white boot screen. I had left the phone on that screen for more than 10 minutes before rebooting back to recovery. I have now reverted back to fresh install of 3.8.0 and all is working.
Any help and advice would be much appreciated

3.fastboot erase cache
4. flash via cwm with full wipe

Yes of course i did that..
I tried wiping 5 times, flashing viper boot. Img and also tried custom kernel ( alexV)
Its a strange problem!
If the boot img is not good we would have a boot loop
But when the system tries to boot, it goes to recovery after the htc logo

Yeah, I've experience that too. I have tried installing the new version 4.0.1 yet I got into bootloop. Any ideas why this happens?
Note: I don't have any problem installing other roms using sense 5. This is not for comparing, I love Viper X but don't know why.

Suppose you all checked the md5 ?

same problem, i already flashed kernel then flashed ROM, but it's always stuck ini HTC logo or even worst just restarting into the same HTC logo..
please help

A bit late to the show but...
Remember that not just do you have to install the ROM, but you need to flash the boot.img too. Yes, this is a two-step process!
Easy...Install ROM from CWM or equivalent. Also, you must extract the boot.img from the ViperX4.x.x.zip file on your PC.
Copy the boot.img to your fastboot folder (you have one more than likely on your PC if you followed just about any thread ever...).
Flash this file to your phone (after fastboot usb selected) by typing from CMD Prompt: flashboot flash boot boot.img
