One X boot image query - HTC One X

Hi guys, maybe this has been asked before but however here goes, I have a ONE X rooted with CWM v5.0.8.0, I have taken a backup of my rom before I installed a custom rom (Venom ViperX) to which I had to use fastboot to flash the boot.img, if I want to restore to my original rom which I backed up before do I or must I use fastboot to flash that boot.img from the backup?
Any advice welcome and thanks in advance and apologies if this has been asked before

You must flash right boot.img (it is in backup) with cmd.
Ps you better delete your ipad signature here in hox forum

You must use fastboot to flash the boot.img that came with the original rom.Also don't forget clear cache.Or else you might get stuck in a boot loop.Also to make our lives easier to adjust to installing custom roms devs have come up with tools like..."Fastboot Flasher" which does all the typing and actions for you and its something that wont mess things up provided you haven't given the wrong input.
Hope that helps!

Cheers for all the input guys, that makes things a little easier to cope with and it also explains why my HOX wouldn't boot properly after restoring a backup.
All good now though

You should also use the "thanks" button for those guys who helped you find your answer. And in the future use the Q and A section for questions. Development is for those who are releasing something they developed.

Thank you guys!

Yeah, I haven't even heard of a version before 5.2.7.0 (I think, but that doesn't look right) that even works with One X, and 5.8.4.0 must have been out 6 months.

from LeeDroid back to STOCK

okay im currently running Leedroid rom on my ONE X wich is nice, but after flashing my screen start getting the flickering so want to go back to stock, because it never had problems..
what i tried to do, but didn't work was:
Booting into recovery and recover my Nandroid
recover my nandroid finished perfekt without any errors.
but when rebooting it stops at the HTC screen and enter bootloop (can't shut it down)
I went back into recovery and flashed LeeDroid rom again and flashed boot.img and now my ONE X is working but still with Leedroid..
What am i doing wrong ??
do i need to flash some stock Boot.img ?
i thought, when recovering nandroid everything goes back as it was then...
i never had problems like this before with my previous android phones
PLEASE HELP ME GET BACK TO STOCK
as far as i know you can't flash any boot.img from recovery while we have s-on. So i would assume that extends to flashing a boot.img from a system backup? My suggestion would be to find the backup on your device, open it, copy the boot.img to your computer and after restoring your backup, do a fastboot flash of the boot.img you just copied.
But you could also give Android Revolution HD a try, its like stock but better, and i don't have any issues using it

You need to flash stock boot.IMG from your nandroid back up as said you can't flash it from cwm with s-on.

No mate. I haven't as of yet included 1.29... If you give me the link I can include it and then all you have to do is flash it... I take it you mean like a HTC stock recovery?
If you're talking about proper updating via HTC then you've gotta relock bootloader, and install via the HTC ruu and then unlock bootloader again....

Ok That Makes More Sense Mate. I Would Suggest Not Doing Anything Official For Now. If You Use A Custom Rom You Need To Keep An Eye Out For A Rom That Is Based On 1.29... The Only Reason You Would Use This Tool Is To Flash The Boot.img Because We Havent Got S-off Yet.
As Of Yet I Dont Think There Are Any Roms That Have 1.29 Though Mate So Youre Going To Have To Hang Tight For A Bit....
Does This Answer You Mate?

Sorry I forgot to say I'm on rooted stock rom
I know I can't just update because I'm rooted, so I was thinking of deleting supersu app and binaries. Then use this batch file to install HTC stock recovery and relock bootloader. Would that enable me to officially update without messing my phone up?

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!

Question about the One X and forum...

I have a few questions since I'm fairly new to the forum...
1) What's the difference between the HTC One X development forum and the One X original development forum? Is it to do with concurrent development updates and stability with the latter being approved as 'Stable' in the sense of the word? Or am I mixed up...?
2) My CID is HTC_001, I have S-ON and HWBOOT 1.39.0000 with the phone rooted. Am I prepped and ready for installing a custom ROM?
3)Regarding the recovery, I presume you use the backup & recovery in the BOOTLOADER to create a recovery file before installing the custom ROM?
I appreciate the help chaps,
:good:

I believe that the original forum is more for the pure android versions without FOR instance touchwiz. (Not sure if I'm right) if a Rom is stable it will usually be mentioned in the corresponding thread and it will also say what works and what is broken in the Rom.
you seem ready for a custom rom because I have hboot 1.39 as well. As long as it is unlocked and have a custom recovery you can flash away. As for your third question, no, you use the backup and restore option in your custom recovery for instance clockworkmod or twrp. Some advice: always flash the corresponding boot.img from your rom.

So by "Pure Android", do you essentially mean ROMS that are more true to form with less customization layered over the top? If so, which one would you recommend and does it matter which one you use from either one of the forums as-long as you meet the pre-requisites?
Now, what do you mean by custom recovery, how do I know if I have it or how do I do it? Sorry, but I'm a bit of a pleb so simpleton english please :cyclops:
Also if you are fairly new I suggest you flash the viper rom, it has htc sense and all the tweaks a man needs.
Copy zip to phone
Make sure you have the right boot.img to flash in the fastboot folder its in the zip
Full wipe if coming from other Rom
Flash rom
Flash boot.img by using: fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
And it should boot up nicely, this if you already unlocked the bootloader and have a custom recovery

Ohhhhh, I get it now... So as-well as unlocking the phone to ROOT, you also have to overwrite the stock recovery on the phone with this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594819 Okokok, so that's the 'Custom' recovery. Roger
Yes. You seem to get the hang of it. Before flashing a recovery let me try to get ahold of Mr. Hofs, he has a recovery file that supports touch which you need for some Rom installations. Ill get back at you.
Btw if you are already on a custom recovery by now, immediatly make a nandroid backup and also copy it to your pc. If anything happens and you do not have a nandroid backup things could get way harder than they should

That one I linked is touch isn't it? Atleast, the title says "9/6 Mandatory Update Official Clockworkmod Touch Recovery 5.8.4.0" which would lead me to believe so....
Yes but I believe people have reported that touch didn't work. The one with touch you can flash over cwm later and you'll lose no data at all. I'm on my htc atm so its hard to find links for you. The recovery I'm using is philz touch recovery which is also cwm based
I contacted Mr hofs for you for the link if you can't come across it on the forums good luck its bed time for me now

Edit: I remember now, htc brought out some kind of update which made touch unusable in cwm. I highly recommend philz touch recovery

Oh noes... You said to type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and now my phone keeps booting into recovery. 'Boot' should be 'Recovery' after some research! What do I do now!!??
Edit: Oh ****. I just flashed my 'boot' with the recovery .img - What should I do now?
Can you describe exactly what you did? Did you install the boot.img in cwm?

If your phone can only reboot into recovery the only thing that is left to do is install a custom rom. You can also go back to stock if you manage to get the correct RUU OR if you find your stock boot.img which you just replaced. What I would do is flash a sense based rom, flash the boot image, fastboot erase cache and let it boot up, if it boots make a nandroid backup immediatly. as I am no expert choosing the right RUU I cannot help you get back to stock.. I haven't quiet gotten to the RUU part myself.
To flash a recovery : fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
Flash a kernel/boot.img: fastboot flash boot bootname.img
Fastboot erase cache
Ofc change recoveryname to the name ur recovery has or change the name to recovery.img makes it easier
