Hi Guys
Wondering if you can help, I have checked other threads with similar titles but to no avail for my problem in which I post.
I was moving from leedriod extreme rom to viper rom.
I made the mistake of flashing the boot.img zip file rather than just the .img file.
This keeps putting me into the an unlocked bootloader, I have gone to my cwm recovery as i backed up prior to doing so, however when I restore and it completes it, I reboot and it still goes to bootloader, I tried an older restore point and I get the same.
could anyone please help me?
Many thanks

Have you tried reflashing boot.IMG ?
Sent from my HTC One X
Reflash the boot.img and you should be fine, if all fails run the RUU.
Hi and thank you for your replies.
I tried flashing the boot img with the flasher that the viper rom comes with, however kept saying failed.
I have since locked and unlocked the boot locker
locked as i wanted to run the stock rom and unlocked due to not having enough battery.
I amm currently carrying out the battery .bat mod in which it charges it up every 6 seconds.
Would you suggest I try again with the boot.img file or just go straight to stock rom?
p.s. i have latest cwm and left it on charge and it did not charge, is this related?
I will get there said:

Have you tried wiping dalvik cache?
Hi Bossman
Yes tried wipe dalvik cache also full factory reset too!
Maybe the boot.img is corrupted? Try re-downloading.
How did you flash your boot.img? You should just extract the zip file and use their bat file to flash.
After that, re-install re-install the rom again. should be resolved.
1. Go into fastboot mode on phone
2. Load up command prompt and execute fastboot erase cache
3. Reflash boot.img
4. Flash Superwipe from ARHD thread
5. Reflash LeeDroid
Should work..

Hi guys,
i've got a big problem with my HTC One X after installing Android Evolution 8 from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562603
I cant post in the thread there so I hope this is a good place.
I unlocked and rooted the HTC succesful with clockword mod.
After that I used this instruction:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxJf8xIVVC0
So i made a backup with clockwork mod, after that i wiped all the caches as said in the video and then I installed Android Evolution 8.
After reboot i got a reboot loop, after showing the startup screen the One X reboots, again and again.
I figured out that the problem could be, that i didnt use the superwipe tool, i justed wiped as in the tutorial.
Is there a way to reset the HTC or to restore the backup and to reinstall again or can I throw the HTC away?
Ok, sorry for the thread, I had no time to wait for an answer because battery was almost empty and didnt charge, so i risked it an tried to restore the Backup in Clockwork recovery.
That worked an now the HTC works fine again.
So i ll charge it and after that I user Super wipe before I reinstall Evolution 8 again.
Maybe the thread will help somebody else one day, cheers.
Steps to get out of boot loop
Hi,
You are probably got into a boot loop because the boot.img you have on your phone is not compatible with the custom ARHD ROM or is not correctly flashed. First charge the phone upto at least 50% battery (to be safe). Then try following the steps below:
1. Download this pack>> Fastboot Pack http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1616741
2. Extract the boot.img from the Custom Rom you are trying to install in a folder on your computer.
3. Extract Fastboot Pack into a folder on your computer and replace the boot.img by the boot.img extracted from the Custom Rom in Step.2
4. Turn your phone OFF
5. Turn your phone ON in bootloader mode by holding the power and vol down buttons at the same time, your phone will start in HBOOT mode. It will be displayed somewhere in the middle of the text.
6. Use the volume keys to move up and down the list, and select Fastboot, then press the power key. Now your phone will come in FASTBOOT mode.
7. Connect your phone to the computer via USB cable. Your phone will now display USB FASTOOT instead of just FASTBOOT.
8. Run 05-erase-cache.bat
9. Run 06-flash-custom-boot.bat
10. Run 08-install-clockwork-recovery.bat
11. Disconnect the USB cable. Your phone will now again say FASTBOOT.
12. Use the up or down volume key to select HBOOT and press the power button. This will take you back to HBOOT mode.
13. Use the volume keys to scroll to RECOVERY and press the power button.
14. This will take you to Recovery mode, now you can flash the Custom Rom you want using Recovery mode.

Hi,
thanks for your answer.
Unfortunately also after using the Super wipe i've got a Bootloop after installing HD 8.1.0.
The link with the fastboot Pack doesn't work, where can I find it?
After downloading Fastboot Pack, I have to replace the boot.img in the file Android_Revolution_HD-One_X_8.1.0.zip with that one from Fastboot Pack, is that right?
Just install boot image for ARHD 8.1 that is included in thread of ARHD. This definitely boot image problem. I think you didn't flashed it. Just follow the instruction on first page.

I'm having the same problem (I think). After successfully installing the boot.img for ARHD 8.1.x, I get a bootloop trying to enter recovery mode (or trying to boot normally).
Edit: I installed ClockworkMod Recovery Touch prior to this but never tested it... Maybe that has something to do with it.

You can use this tool instead of Fastboot ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1634786
And NO it is the other way round, You need to replace the boot.img in the tool by the one you get in ARHD and then run the tool. In this tool you will find a folder for boot.img which will contain one boot.img file already. Just replace that and run the tool. for HTC One X whenever you want to install a custom Rom, you need to do this.
A boot.img is normally a part of the custom Rom zip file which automatically gets flashed when you flash the rom. BUT this doesn't happen with One X due to some reason. So we need to flash the boot.img separately BEFORE flashing the ROM.
Let me know if the above helps by clickng Thanks

Hi.. What do you mean by getting a bootloop trying to enter recovery?
Which boot.img did you flash ? It should be the one which is inside the ARHD ROM zip file. So extract that and try following the steps in my reply above. If you still fail let me know the exact steps you took and issue and I will try to help.

When I try to boot into ClockworkMod Recovery (by selecting RECOVERY on the HBOOT screen), I get a boot loop. Same thing happens if I select REBOOT from the FASTBOOT screen.
Yes, I'm using the right boot.img. It's my understanding I have to install this before I can install the ROM.
To install it, I put my phone into fastboot USB mode, and ran:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
My One X is an S-ON device, btw.
Hi, it worked for me to flash the boot.img manually first
(boot.img for 8.1.x
S-ON devices can't flash boot.img in recovery, so you need to flash it manually before flashing ROM

That's what I did, but I got a boot loop.
Where can I find a copy of the default boot.img? Or is there another way to restore my system to normal so I can try again?
Edit: Also, are there different boot.img's for different firmware versions?

Ohh sorry I assumed your One X is S-OFF, you definitely need to do that FIRST, before going ahead with this flashing business. There is an awesome tool by hasoon2000 for doing this, which you can find here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604439
Just use the above tool to S-OFF your device, flash the recovery and then follow the steps I have given before. If you need more help with S-OFF let me know and I will provide detailed instructions for doing that.

ARHD 9
I just installed ARHD 9 and followed the instructions but now when it boots up it flashes onto the homescreen for a few seconds and then reboots, does anyone have a fix? i dont have a back up either
I think fastboot erase cache might be useful.
Every ROM requires (and is packaged with) a boot.img, you need to flash the ROM and you need to flash the associated boot.img.
If you get bootloops, make sure you have flashed the correct boot.img.
If the ROM reboots after it's started, make sure you superwiped when changing bases.
Basically, do all of the steps in the instructions, without missing out any of the steps.

I have faced that issue in the past. Just flash again, follow the steps I have given before. Remember to clear the cache at the beginning, and flash the boot img that you get inside the ROM you are flashing i.e. the one inside ARHD 9. Also, before you flash the ROM, wipe data (NOT SDCARD) and dalvik cache as well.

Well it could be a couple things. Maybe you don't have enough swagger to start the rom? Didn't follow the installation instructions properly. Or the most likely one is didn't flash the boot.img in fastboot.
The rom works 100% so you must have messed up som where.
Make sure you wipe data, system, dalvic cache and cache under custom recovery. Boot into bootloader and select fastboot and open CMD on your computer.
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Flash rom
Done.
Easy as pie and hell boot loops like the one your experiencing now happen quite often. Just restart and try again.

I thought it was an option to flash via fastboot or use recovery.
Anyway by "Flash rom" I assume use recovery.
BTW do you know of any windows 8 drivers that work with the phone?
Edit: got it working no worries

You have to flash the boot.img in fastboot if your device is S-ON which in no doubt it probably is. There are some Windows programs and batch files that can do it for you but personally using those 3 commands is the easiest and safest way.
Flash only the rom .zip in recovery.

I see your quite new to XDA so I recommend you to get familiar with the search button. If you have a problem with your device XDA is probably the #1 place to get help. I wouldnt doubt someone else has had the same problem as you so a quick search in our forums could help you find your way. Also having a look at the forum rules couldn't hurt.
Nice choice choosing ICJ as your first rom! It's one of my favorites too but also check out ViperX and TripNRaVeR's kernels.
ICJ
Hi there good choice in rom as you can see i am new to but been on ICJ since oct and its really good and all the guys there are more than willing to help and are good guys.

I've tried lots and lots of things for hours now and I've still been stuck in the boot screen of htc for the past 4 hours. And yes, I've googled so much and tried all solutions that people have had, and it's still not working.
I have tried wiping, installing ROM, go into recovery, fastboot flash boot boot.img, reboot and it hasn't worked for me.
I've tried both TWRP and CWM to install my ROM. I have a backup in TWRP that I did before it derped, but it doesn't turn my phone into working state again.
The ROM I'm trying to activate is the Cyanogen Mod 10.1 from the weekly link.
Only once I managed to get the Cyanogen boot screen (it got stuck there too), but after flashing my boot.img it disappeared. I tried updating my hboot with something I downloaded.
What have I done wrong? After reading all those threads, I'm totally clueless.

Oke do this
If you have cwm 5.8.4.0 (otherwise flash it to follow these steps)
Enter the recovery and perform a full wipe
Data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Mounts and storage-format cache,data,system
Advanced-wipe dalvik cache
install the CM10.1.zip (do not reboot after)
install gapps (do not reboot after)
Then type in the fastboot window :
Adb reboot bootloader
Flash the boot.img file from the rom
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot reboot !
Fingers crossed

I followed your steps so precisely... but it didn't work Also I think I've done something close to this process before and had no success.
What you did differently though, I never installed gapps, and I didn't know that you can wipe dalvik cache in CWM.
What I had to do during your method though was go into mount SD storage and insert a fresh copy of both the gapps and CM10.1.
If you need any more information I'd gladly provide them as quick as possible, I'll be refreshing this thread constantly
Try my steps again but this time use a completely different rom. Try a standard sense base rom. Just to check if its booting ! Ow and you can leave the step for gapps away. And you can choose to do the boot.img thing first and then the recovery part.

I downloaded ViperX_2.6.0 instead (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1745176), since it was pretty much done right before you added the suggestion. The guide there tells me to flash the boot first then install the rom, but I did the rom first. IT WORKED! Thought it was stuck in the bootscreen again haha. I got to the unlock screen, but after unlocking all I saw was the HTC symbol. I then held the power button and pressed restart. Same thing after restart. After unlocking, all I see is a white screen with the HTC symbol in the middle. Can only lock the phone :/ Is it me or the ROM?
Or the phone ! Strange ..... But you must flash a JB rom to check if your bootloader supports it. The viper x 2.6 is an old ics one and runs on any hboot.
Actually is doesn't matter what you do first ..... It works both ways.
Test the bugX Rom. Flash the boot.img that is inside the bugX.zip copy it out to the fastboot folder and flash it directly from there. Make sure to full wipe again and install the rom .....I don't know what else....doing it like this for months and never failed.

Hi all.
Just got my one x 32gb, basically...wifi and mobile signal was all working perfect, so I did what I usually do and flash a custom rom straight away.
Unlocked the bootloader with the all in one tool kit and the token etc and installed recovery.
Installed Viper kernel, the Viper Rom.
Rom installs fine, then i reboot and it goes to the screen where you have to choose 'language'
I select English, then next screen is 'Team Venom Rom Specs and setupwizard' so i click next.
then a message comes up saying 'Warning = Network service is unavailable'...so i press ok.
next screen is scan and install apps, so i do that, works fine.
Then next screen is 'internet connection' where you can choose 'mobile data or wi-fi etc.....i select 'mobile data or wifi' then click 'next'...but instead of it going to the next screen where it asks me to click on what wifi connection i want to connect to and password etc, it just goes straight to 'Transfer My Stuff' then 'Dropbox'
When ive gone through all that, I try to manually setup wifi via settings, but it just keeps saying error.
Can someone help me out please??
I've wiped everything and tried reinstalling Rom twice.:crying:
Any help would be sooooooo appreciated.:good:
cheers

Maybe you missed a step in the toolkit you used. you usually get the sort of problems you are experiencing when you either, forget to flash the boot image, or forget to erase the cache after you flash the boot image. The boot image is in the zip file of the rom, you should have extracted it from the rom zip before you placed the the zip on your sdcard. Or if you used a custom kernel it should be accompanied by modules which you have to install in the same way as the rom, ie flashed from within recovery

If you downloaded a custom kernel it will have been in a zip file. Extract the boot.img from zip and put zip on your one x. Boot your phone to bootloader choose fastboot usb. Type fastboot flash boot boot.img[or name of image you extracted]. Type fastboot erase cache. Boot into recovery and flash modules (zip file you download) after you flash modules erase cache and dalvik cache.
Thanks very much for the info guys, have now flashed the boot image and got it working. Initial problem was me being stupid, I had not made a nandroid backup of my initial rom so had nothing to recover back to. I then had the wrong hboot for the rom, was really worried.
I really appreciate the help.
