Hi together!
Since this is a topic where people ask regularly, I try to make a little TUT.
I hope it is helpful.
I am a noob myself, so please don't go on me
Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong or if I missed some important stuff.
What you need:
1.
SDK Tool (type in your browser: developer.android.com/sdk/index.html)
Once you are on that page, download the package and install it.
2.
after the install process has finished, you have to install some packages.
Important is the platform-tools package (there you find the most important commands)
3.
Locate the folder on the harddisk of your PC
4.a)
Push the Windows(Start) Buttom and type: cmd
This opens the command prompt
Now get into the root of the android folder (e.g. cd.. until you get into root of your harddisk)
(on my PC, it looks like this:
cd android
cd platform-tools)
4.b)
Just one thing to make it a little easier to come into the right folder:
Open the folder with the fastbootfiles in a window.
Go to command line and type cmd and the cmd.exe will be shown in the menu.
Drag & Drop the cmd.exe into the opened fastboot folder.
When you now open this cmd, it shows the right folder at the start and you can easily type the commands without navigation through folders.

5.
Your phone has to be in fastboot-USB mode and connected to PC in order to understand the commands
6.
Once you are in platform-tools folder, you can type commands
Most common commands are:
fastboot erase cache (sometimes helps if phone is in HTC bootloop)
fastboot flash boot (name of boot image / e.g. boot_1.2.3.img) (this is, like the name says, to flash a boot image)
fastboot flash recovery (name of recovery.img
fastboot oem lock ( to relock your phone, in case you have or want to flash a RUU)
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin (to unlock again, if you already got the unlock key from HTCDev)
Flash firmware.zip using following terminal commands:
Please rename first downloaded .zip package to firmware.zip
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
This is almost obsolete, since we have the new Recovery 5.8.3.1 with Mount USB, but it is still good to know
to push ROM to SD card, if you were running superwipe without copying the rom file onto sd
1. You need recovery.img in your fastboot directory
2. Go into bootloader and connect phone
3. Then use: "fastboot boot recovery.img" (thus booting your image from pc and not the installed recovery).
4. When in recovery, you can use the adb commands.
5. You can try with "adb devices" which should show you serial of phone.
6. command: adb push rom_rom.zip /sdcard
credits to broncogr for finding that adb works if you use fastboot boot command and to Jotha for helping me out!
Or try following:
Copy rom to your adb-directory on PC
Switch OFF phone
Connect phone to PC
Wait until you hear the "USB-Connect"-sound on PC
Go into command window in adb-directory
Type "adb push rom.zip /sdcard/"
(where rom.zip is name of rom-file)
pushing is rather slow so it will take a while. Eventually you get an "OK". Then you can go into recovery and flash it.

For now, this is what I can think of, for sure there are many more commands, but hopefully we don't need them, but like I said, feel free and put them in here
I hope this will help some noobs, like myself!
If this helped you, please push THANKS
thanks! this will stop us noob's, spamming up dev's thread's.
Thanks for you efforts
First time with real android phone, this is good!
Thanks mate

Can you add the command to push the custom rom to sdcard without mout USB via CWM ?
Just one thing to make it a little easyer to come into the right folder:
Open the folder with the fastbootfiles in a window.
Go to command line and type cmd and the cmd.exe will be shown in the menu. Drag & Drop the cmd.exe into the opened fastboot folder.

this link helps fix that
http://dottech.org/tipsntricks/21534/how-to-install-adb-and-fastboot-on-your-windows-computer-for-use-with-your-android-phone/
You have to copy the Boot.img into the folder, where fastboot-, adb commands are situated (c:/andoid/platform-tools)
Then Open cmd. Go to platform-tools folder and from there it should work.

Thanx man, but is fixed now, I did this by follow the instr. in page from my last post, and goes perfect. I just flashed new rom with 1.8 base and iam now on the bright side of life.
PS sorry for my english
@OP, last time I tried fastboot boot command it gave me device not found message(no problem when fastboot flash). What's the correct approach to make it work? I recently updated to 1.28 and I want to stay in stock for the mean time.

You can add the adb and fastboot directory path to the environment path in windows settings. You can then use adb and fastboot outside of the platform tools directory, but still in command prompt of course

I'm following your tutorial to the letter but whenever i use fastboot boot recovery.img it refuses to go into recovery. But i can boot into recovery manually and when i do there still isnt any adb devices connected.

3. Then use: "fastboot boot recovery.img" (thus booting your image from pc and not the installed recovery).
4. When in recovery, you can use the adb commands.
5. You can try with "adb devices" which should show you serial of phone.
6. command: adb push rom_rom.zip /sdcard
In point 3, it is not supposed to boot into recovery. Its for booting your recovery.img (e.g. recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.3.1-endeavoru.img ) from PC. After this step you will automatically boot into Recovery. From there you can use adb commands.
Did you try "adb devices"?
I tried it myself and it works!
This guide is great... Thanks!

Asking about number 6,since after push rom into sd card using adb command. How long will it takes rom to place in sd card? My adb command just stuck after push rom without inform is it done or not.
And where did the push file goes? Seems I can't find it in CWM. I'm using latest cwm, but no zip file found in my sd card.

Rom should be on root of Sd.
If this is not working, you can try to use the command while phone is powered off. I am not a dev, but I read something like that:
"Switch off your phone, connect to pc, wait until it is detected by windows and use: adb push nameofrom.zip /sdcard/" thats what Jotha told someone on ARHD Thread.
Try that and tell us if it worked.

Go in order you'll be fine.
Root, which you already did.
Install the boot loader, just extract the files and run the script with it connected on USB.
After that, and only after, install a recovery and you can turn install custom ROMs. That guide covers it all if you spend some time reading before jumping in, always a good idea.

1- Open a command prompt in your working folder (usually in your platform tools, mine is C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools) make sure you are administrator.
2- Connect Tablet to pc and get excited.
3- Type: adb devices (verify your Tab is connected and listed)
4- Type: adb reboot bootloader
5- Once bootloader is in fastboot type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
You will see writing recovery, flashing recovery, etc.
6- Once flashed Type: fastboot reboot

Debugging should be on.
Copy your chosen recovery.img to the folder where your adb.exe is, if its in the rooting folder, put them there.
For ease I would make a folder called root so its like this
c:\root
Place the adb and fastboot files in there with the recovery image.
Open a command prompt and type
cd c:\root
Type
adb devices
Should now work properly and list some numbers
Then do
adb reboot bootloader
Then
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Where recovery.img is the name of the recovery image you downloaded and copied to the folder with adb.exe

Once again, the folder that has adb.exe is where you need to be working from. Open a command prompt, cd to wherever that folder is, then do the commands. You can also hold shift and right click in the folder and choose command prompt to open it right there.

Your show extensions are off. The one that opened the prompt was it. Its not run directly, its used in a command prompt with a command. Open your prompt there or change its directory to where it is, then carry on with the instructions.
I take it all your other rooted devices had one click setups, this is a very basic device to work on, it just doesn't have a program doing it for you. This seriously should take as long as it took me to write this post to do from start to finish.

A buddy of mine rooted my phone after I had so much difficulty trying to do it myself. I went to update my ROM this afternoon and was brought to the white HTC loading screen with no more activity. Tried getting into my phone to put a new ROM on the SD card and nothing comes up on the SD card folder. I am able to put a ROM in the empty SD card folder and install it, but than it just gets stuck on the same screen as before. I'm really just in the dark here and that friend isn't any longer available to help me out. Thank you all in advance, hopefully this is fixable. I am quite concerned. I should add that I would like to ultimately just get back to stock and be done with things I don't understand so as to avoid this happening again.
Did you flash the boot.img from the rom.zip? These are the correct steps to flash a ROM:
1. Flash the boot.img from ROM.zip via fastboot. "fastboot flash boot boot.img" then "fastboot erase cache"
2. Boot into recovery and use THIS by flashing it.
3. Now flash the ROM.zip and then gapps.zip via recovery.
4. Reboot.

I have tried flashing the boot.img but when I go to put the file onto my phone I don't have any folders such as the boot.img folder to put it in. As for flashing the link above, I am taking a stab in the dark here but I assume that I download that link, extract it and place it on my SD card somewhere. I'm not sure as to how I flash it. Sorry... I really have tried learning the ropes of this, but I can't seem to grasp it.
I somehow now have access to TWRP on my device... I am so confused.

1. First you need to download a custom ROM like this one : http://tunsd.de/downloads/ICJ/IceColdJelly421/aokp_ICJ422-V3.0.zip , Gapps : http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip and Super wipe script: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0y31poo1kiaif4y/Super wipe script.zip
2. Open the aokp_ICJ422-V3.0.zip with winrar/winzip and extract the boot.img and place it in the "fastboot" folder in your PC. (since you have already unlocked/rooted it, I guess you know which is the fastboot folder)
3. Connect your Phone to your PC and make a new folder named "ROM" and put the aokp_ICJ422-V3.0.zip , gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip and Super wipe script.zipin it.
4. Turn of your phone. Now hold the power button and volume down button together until the bootloader screen pops up. (White screen with 3 android figures at the bottom)
5. Now select "fastboot" using the volume up/down keys and press power button once you highlight it to get into fastboot. Now connect your phone again to your PC.
6. You will hear a sound on your pc and on the screen it will say "fastboot USB".
7. Now open fastboot folder on your PC and press shift key and simultaneously rightclick and click on "open command prompt here".
8. type the following lines:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
9. Now disconnect your phone and head back to "HBOOT" and then select "Recovery".
10. Now go to "install zip from sd" and select "ROM" folder which you had created earlier on the phone.
11. Now select "super wipe script" and install it. After everything is done you will come back to choose zip from sd.
12. Now again navigate to ROM folder and select "aokp_ICJ422-V3.0.zip" and install it. and then install "gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip".
13. Now go back and select "reboot system now".
14. If you have done all the above steps correctly, you will boot into IceColdJelly Rom!

Irrespective whether you have CWM or TWRP... Steps will be similar for flashing the ROM... Just the names of the buttons/options will be different!
If you want to use CWM, then download this : http://htcfanboys.com/download/seadersn/?action=list&file=2823
Put the recovery.img in your fastboot folder. Boot your phone in fastboot mode and fire the following lines in CMD.
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
Now you can follow the steps which I have given blindly!
My phone was unlocked and rooted from a different PC so I have no fastboot folders or any knowledge on what a fastboot folder is.

What error message do you get while you flash?
what is your HBoot version?
Go to bootloader(Power button+Volume Down)... once you get to that white screen, you should be able to see your hboot version... something like hboot 1.39...
Hi guys,
I am stuck REALLY stuck. I have or now had a rooted htc one x. I tried to flash a rom but this kept on stucking on the logo (carbon logo, cause it was a Carbon rom). When I saw this I got confused so I deleted everything from recovery mode. EVERYTHING the rom and what was on the sd card. Now when i try to turn oi on it is stuck on the htc logo (the first one that appears). I presume its doing so cause it is finding no rom to load. My other problem is the power. The battery got drained and I cannot even see my SD card on the pc ! I found somewhere that in recovery mode i could go to advanced and to side load but i cannot even see this side load option. PLEASSSSE help me I am really desperate!!
When you're in recovery, connect to your PC and mount your sdcard, in twrp it's advanced/mount. The card should then show up on your PC, put the rom zip on your card and let the phone charge for a while. Use fastboot to erase cache then flash the rom.

Extract the boot.img file from the rom, place it in the same location as your adb set up. Reboot to fastboot mode, connect to PC, open cmd window at same location as abd and type:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Reboot.

cache erase but getting cannot open boot.img!!!!!!!!!
Don't open it. Just extract it to your adb folder, and flash it via fastboot. If it's not called boot.img then either use fastboot flash boot (bootname).img or rename it to boot.img. Plus if you've erased the system you'll need to flash the rom again via recovery.

i am typing "C:\android\sdk\platform-tools\fastboot flash boot boot.img" is it good? cause its replying cannot open boot.img and the file i extracted is called boot.img. I cant understand were i am wrong. Perhaps cause the battery is still very low?
The extracted boot.img should be in the sdk folder, for example mine is C:\Users\Sinclair\Downloads\adb_fastboot_and_other_tools\adb_fastboot_and_other_tools\Android. Open the folder, shift+right click and choose 'open command window here'. Try 'fastboot devices' to ensure it's been detected, if so it should work. Possibly a bad download.

please you are my only hope before i throw this device in the rubbish can. could you send me a detailed step by step proceedure of what to do cause I am completely lost. the files i need to down load where to put themand commands i should write down in command mode. I am completely noob on this and all these words you all use.If you cant and i completly understand could you recomend wewre i can post my problem for more veterans to see or perhaps there is somewhere where i can ship my device and get it fixed at a cost of course.
THANKS
You put literally the boot.img file in that state in the Fastboot.exe folder on the pc. So it goes into the platform tools folder !
Then you put the phone in the bootloader where you see "Fastboot usb" in red text
Then you point with the mouse inside the platform tools folder and hold down shift and click the right button and select "open command window here"
Then you type the command in that window
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
By your reply I'm presuming you don't have a full adb/fastboot setup. Read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42407269,
and follow the instructions.

Hi there
Thanks for your interest in helping me out. After i do this right click thing i go to the black window and give these commands as they are no previous path like c:\ etc etc before the commands you gave me? Cause the funny thing i did the erase cache thing and it did it but this boot boot.img isnt doing it. And bdw i redownloaded another rom, copied it to the file tools and extracted it there. In it there was a boot.img file. Did i do the right thing?
Thanks again
When you open the cmd window by right click in a folder then all commands you enter are for that folder path, so it's fastboot flash boot xxx.img(replace xxx with the boot name), and it's only the boot.img for your rom you need extracted to the folder.
I think you are confusing yourself. Just stay calm and read carefully ! It's not rocket science. Open the rom.zip with 7Zip and just drag out the boot.img file to the exact same folder as where your fastboot.exe file is located. Open the command window there and type the commands.
The command fail cannot open is only because the file is just not there !

Hi everyone,
So I'm kind of new to flashing ROMs but I pretty much got it and flashed a couple of them the last couple of weeks.
Today I flashed the GPE ROM and everything was going smooth, installed successfully but then, the device won't boot up - it just showed me black sceen.
After a few minutes of non responding I forced shut down and went into fastboot, then hit recovery. I have CWM custom recovery. The device showed me the boot animation of the GPE for some reason and then won't go into recovery but showed me "type password to decrypt storage" for some reason. I couldn't go into recovery no matter what I did. Then somehow the device rebooted as usual and now it's on and running but tons of bugs and force stopping apps. IM TRYING TO GO INTO CWM RECOVERY BUT WHENEVER I CHOOSE THAT OPTION IT SIMPLY REBOOTS AGAIN.
HOW CAN I GO INTO RECOVERY AGAIN AND RESTORE MY NANDROID BACKUP? OR DO ANYTHING IN ORDER TO GET A DIFFERENT ROM?
The PC IS NOT RECOGNIZING THE DEVICE, CANT TRANSFER FILES OR RUN FASTBOOT COMMANDS!
THANKS IN ADVANCE! PLEASE HELP!! THE PHONE IS NOT FUNCTIONAL NOW
Nimi.
You don't need to type in caps to make your message more urgent. We'll still help you if don't use the caps lock.
fastboot erase cache, and re-install CWM with fastboot.

Hey buddy,
You're right, im just anxious! As I said on the previous message, the device is not recognized on the pc so I cant seem to be able to run any kind of commands or transfer files! Any ideas? Any hard resets or stuff like that? Again, the phone is running but seems to have NO recovery at all!
Thanks!

OK, So I am able to recognize the device on PC and run commands but maybe im doing somehting wrong.
Can you please walk me through the exact commands I have to type in the right order? From A to Z.
THANKS!
Edit: CMD error says: "C:\Users\NIMI>fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.2-m8.img
error: cannot load 'openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.2-m8.img'"
1) Make sure you have fastboot connectivity. Connect the phone in fastboot mode, and type the command: fastboot devices
2) Place the desired recovery .img in the folder where you have fastboot.exe located. Usually, the most updated version of your recovery is best.
3) In Command Prompt, change directory to your fastboot folder. I have no idea where you setup that up. But it will be something like: cd foldername
4) fastboot erase cache
5) fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Where recovery.img is the filename of your desired recovery.
