I'm a lurker here at xda and can't post a question at the RENOVATE ROM thread.
I'd just like to ask which kernel do I flash for version 8.2.0 (I've read that I should install a specific kernel for full compatibility) as there is no kernel download links included in the first post. There wasn't a step to install a separate kernel in the instructions as well.
And also, if I flash the firmware.zip I could skip flashing boot.img using flashboot right?
(I opened firmware.zip and found a boot.img there)
I'm coming from a cm10 nov 2 nightly.
Thank you
Here is a pretty nice guide for how to prepare your phone for Jelly Bean ROMs. I just installed my first JB rom today, followed the guide and everything went well.
Thanks!
But I have HTC_622 cid is there no way that I could simply flash the renovate rom? I didn't notice that I should have a specfic cid in the thread
If that's your CID, no you can not flash hboot 1.31 yet. And without hboot 1.31 you can't install JB correctly. So you have to either wait to get your CID supported or install the Renovated ICS rom.
I have also problem with RENOVATE but 8.3.0version. i did everything like in manual, but after flashing the rom.. i have a problem, my phone freezes after some seconds* and reboots automatically :/ IDK what to doo
*(sometimes i did not even have time to enter the menu or anything like messages, galery, etc.)
Hi.. is there any one who can tell me what roms working with hboot 1.31?
I looking at rom called CustoNexus Endeavoru v1.0.0 i want to try but nothing about if it works with my hboot?
I tried to install insert coin 12.0.1 and it boots up and then doing the wizard setup and it stopped working and cant boot in to meny.
Try to install the rom again from the begining and its the same, something to do with my hboot? or bad boot.img?
Well, im trying a nother rom and if any one here has tried a good clean, stable rom with good battery life without sense im glad to hear.
Thanks!

You can install the CM10 ROMS but you have to flash mdeejay's boot.img before you can boot with hboot 1.31 which you have.

THERE IS A WAY TO INSTALL EVERY AOSP Rom available there
at CyanogenMOD 10 "SE" you will havw link for a kernel to run CM10-SE , you can use this kernel for ever AOSP out there to make it run on your HTC One X , you need to follow these steps
1- Flash any AOSP from from Recovery as usual after wiping for sure
2- Dont reboot and use that provided kernel and flash it also inside recovery
3- Reboot into bootloader FastBoot and flash the boot.img inside there kernel as its called "boot_1.23_1.28_hboot_v1.0 " you can rename it as boot.img for easier installing as that for newer hboots and its compaitable with CM10-SE kernel which at this point compaitable with the kernel you have just flashed
but as it indicated it dosent have a functional GPS
with these steps I have been able to try all AOSP Roms
If you need to get the GPS running you may like to try the same above steps using TripNRaVeR flashable kernel zip
for me im sticking with CM10-SE kernels as I dont need the gps beside the great battery life
I hope that would help you
You can use TripNDroid's CM10 build. It's meant for every Hboot version and GPS is also working on every Hboot version. I have Hboot 1.31 and GPS works flawlessly on TD CM10!

quick question: i updated my phone through the official jb update,so my hboot is now 1.36.
phone is unlocked and rooted also cmr custom recovery.
do i have to flash the custom 1.36 firmware or is the ota update one ok to install a custom rom.
reason being,just been in bootloop for an hour or so after flashing custom rom,but it could of been a bad flash on a corrupt boot.img,solved with several fastboot erase cache's and lots of re-boots
just want to check that the ota 1.36 is ok to flash a custom rom with.
thanks in advance,merry xmas.
Yeah, no difference.
Which ROM did you flash and is the standard boot.img compatible with the "JB hboot"?
insertcoin,i did extract the boot.img and flashed first-must of been a bad download,did not check the md5.
although i used the tool flasher for the boot.img,think i'll stick to cmd.
thanks for your input....
same problem
Well, appearantly you're not the only one... I tried to flash CM10 today, but didn't work either... Also got stuck in reboot. I hope someone can explain what i'm doing wrong.
You need to flash modified boot.img on newer hboots, and you would be aware of this if you read the OP carefully. Post 9308 in CM10 thread.

as far as i know htc havent released the one x jb kernel source yet (though the one x+ has i believe) so any non stock roms/kernels ie cm pa aokp ect are missing features = bt,gprs,ect. im not sure if there is a aosp rom/kernel that is fully working for hboot 1.36 as ive read through lots of threads and as to be expected there is a lot of conflicting information.
if any one can clear this up for me it would be appreciated
is there a non stock rom that can be run on hboot 1.36
sense based roms can be flashed on hboot 1.3.6
See my sig. It runs on all hboots.

What rom are you after. All roms run on your hboot !
Does the top of your bootloader say :
Endeavouru ?
If so check here in the android dev & original android dev section for a rom......there are plenty

Hi,
Ive done a quick search and cannot find a straight answer, i dont own HTC one x but need to modify a friends phone. as far as im aware they have a custom 4.1 rom and CWM etc.
Do i need to flash boot.img for every rom regardless of what it says on the post? some dont mention it... just want to be sure!

If the rom uses stock kernel, then no but you may lose ram disk tweaks for that rom.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Basically, Yes. If you switch over to a different ROM you have to flash the new boot image. Sometimes the boot image is also updated with a new version of a ROM in that case you have to flash the new Boot Image too.
You can install rom without flash boot.img only if you device is S-Off.
If your are S-On, you have to flash boot.img everytime you install a new rom.
I have a Desire S-Off and i can flash which rom i want without flash boot.img.
For my Sensation XE, it's the same.
For my HOX, i have to flash everytime i change my rom.

No. No. No.
Some or most kernels and ROM's for the OneX are NOT set up to flash the boot.img in recovery precisely because there is no method to S-Off the phone. Devs have simply stopped implementing the method. I have no idea which ones can and cannot so err on the side NONE can and you cannot go wrong.
Always flash, in fastboot, the given boot.img for every ROM is the general basic rule.

If both roms are using stock kernel and on the same base and you don't mind losing the roms ram disk tweaks you really don't need to flash.
Same if you are using a custom kernel.
So long as the kernel/base match you would just need to flash the modules.

If you use Android 4.2.2 with sense 5, you only flash boot.img one time and flash any rom except Alex-V's rom. Because still now, all sense 5 rom using stock kernek
If you flash cm, you must flash boot.img every time you flash difference rom
if your device already s-off and super-cid you flash rom normal no need flash boot.img except some rom not allow flash boot.img in update-script
Thanks all!

Thanks for all the replies guys, given me a better insight to the method i should take with this phone when i get hold of the phone ill analyse the rom currently on there. i think its 4.1 with sense so ill do more homework and figure it out!:cyclops:
Hello All,
I am trying to root my friend's htc desire with uninvoked 3.32 but stuck on "running root" step.I have followed the exact instruction in this link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788044&highlight=running) and it does all the steps mentoined but will stuck in last step i think after rebooting it says "running root" and my device hangs, nothing happends.I have to pull battery to boot again.
My friend bought it second hand and interestingly in hboot it says S-Off but there is no root.I have tried different unrevoked version 3.14,3.21 but they give other errors than "running root" on last reboot while it was about to run root script.It gets past through 1st reboot with pushing recovery,hboot,rebooting etc but won't root at last moment.
So how can i root this device? Do i need to root if hboot says S-Off to install recovery and custom roms? I am not so noob as i have xperia arc rooted and flashed custom roms and have knowledge of CWM recoveries,flashtool,fastboot etc.But i am new to HTC devices.so please help me to root this device.
Hehe not so noob, but still post question in Q&A? (Don't worry i've requested it to be moved )
Anyway, since the phone is already s-off, is there a recovery already installed? Boot into hboot (vol down + power), wait, then volume down to recovery, and press power to select.
If it doesn't have a recovery installed, install 4EXT from here
If you need to root the existing ROM, to say backup certain things, then you need to flash a superuser.zip
However, if you want to just install a custom ROM, just full wipe and flash a ROM like you would before, you don't need to root it first, as the custom ROM will wipe everything, and will already be pre-rooted

Hehe, ya really sorry for wrong section post. I just realized it now.
I think i saw a recovery option in hboot while doing root process.Not sure but i will check it tomorrow when i meet my friend. I installed supersu from market to check if it's rooted but while opening, it gave a binary su error message which means it's not rooted.
So if a device has S-Off mentioned in hboot then it's already S-offed? No need for S-Off process? I can flash custom ROMs from recovery?
Thankx for the reply.It cleared a lot of doubt for htc deivice.

Yes, once you have s off you dont have to s off again. Like eddie said, you can use your custom recovery (if you have one) to either flash a superuser zip to root the stock ROM or flash a custom ROM that will come prerooted.

Thankx a lot guys.There was a stock recovery but i installed 4ext and supersu as youguys said.Now it's rooted with custom recovery.I can move forward with other stuffs now.
Thankx a lot for getting started with this htc device flashing
Hello guys,
Need some help needed again.After installing recovery and rooting i was trying to flash custom roms.Currently my device have stock froyo 2.2.2 with kernel 2.6.32.15,baseband 32.49.00. I tried to get ext partition but seems it needs init.d support which is not in stock rom. AFter some search i found this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1710980 but seems there is no post_boot.sh in this rom and didn't understand what it's trying to say.
So my last option was to install custom rom but stuck on one doubt. If i want to install froyo rom like this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833310 or gingerbread rom like this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1453287, do i need to flash kernel? There is not description on first post to flash recommended kernel for ROM page i visited.For my xperia arc ROMs, ROM developer explains on what kernel to user before install.So this is a bit confusing on htc device.
Can i intall different froyo,GB,ICD,JB ROMs without needing to flash kernel.Is this 2.6.32 kernel be used for all ROMs in this forum?Can you recommend a custom rom for my kernel for testing?
Easiest way is to install a custom ROM straight away, don't bother in any addition of init.d etc.
All ROMs here come with a compatible kernel, no matter what android version
You can flash different kernels after you flash the ROM, but you have to check compatibility.
In short: personally wouldn't bother with any Froyo ROM. The GB ones are more stable generally, still a good amount of use and activity, so if this is what if important I'd recommend this. Wouldn't bother with ICS, as development moved on to JB. With JB your mileage may vary considerably, e.g. with stability / camera etc.
Try a few, see what you like, be happy there's still plenty of choice for such an old phone!

The ROM comes with a kernel, so you don't have to flash one separately.
Flashing kernels and ROMs won't touch your recovery or hboot.

Like I said, kernels come packaged within a ROM. You can flash a different compatible one if you want to after you flash the ROM, but it's not necessary. Remember compatibility is key here, so for instance you can't flash a sense kernel on a non-sense ROM.
Flashing a kernel doesn't touch hboot or recovery, it just replaces the boot.img inside /system.
With that ROM, it's best to change hboot before you flash the ROM for optimal internal memory, should be compatible with cm7r2 hboot from alpharev.nl, recommend to learn to flash it using fastboot.

Thankx for this valuable info.I am very patient on learning first and flashing when i fully understand what i need to do.And since it's my friends phone,i don't want to brick it .Any chance of brick with wrong kernel or hboot flash? :silly:
Also in current recovery 4ext,i keep getting '/system' is read only and need to format all partition warning popup.Is this due to stock rom or something wrong with recovery.Also can i install cm7r2 hboot 'PB99IMG_cm7r2.zip' like you explained in first post? Copy it to root sd card and boot to hboot and it will ask of update recovery? or i need to flash it? I need to use cm7r2 hboot if i need to flash Cynogenmod based roms like CM7,CM10.1 etc? For stock rom i use Bravo Stock and for sense roms i use Bravo Sense from AlphaRec site?
Can i use this tool(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=823315) to flash kernel/hboot etc?It's not outdated?

Flashing kernels wont brick youre phone. I accidentally flashed a few sgs3 kernels when i was a little n00b, but this wont cause any permanent damage. The phone obviously wont boot, but after a full wipe and reinstall of a compatible kernel all should be fine. There is a chance however that flashing hboots could brick the phone, but its pretty low. You would have to flash a corrupted hboot, or disrupt the flashing.
I usually just ignore that 4ext warning. It pops up from time to time, but it should stop happening once youre done installing a new hboot/wiping/flashing a rom. You can flash an hboot using the PB99IMG method as well (its easier than fastboot). Download the PB99IMG_cm7r2.zip from alpharev.nl and flash it using this very straight forward guide. And no, you dont just use cm7r2 hboot just because a rom is cm. cm7r2 will only work if the system size of the rom is less than 145mb. For mildwilds cm-8.0 JG it will work fine. Dont use that tool for flashing the hboot...use the guide i linked.
