Hi!
Is it possible to flash a original HTC ROM with the appropriate RADIO, without loosing the unlocked bootloader?
I want to have an original ROM to have a reference if my phone works properly.
Thanks,
newpipe
if you have the rom parts, you could flash them via fastboot- system, boot, and userdata. You can also flash recovery and radio if you want to go full stock except for the bootloader. You might have to pack the rom parts into the appropriate formats. Either ext3 images or images packed with ANDROID! magic.
There isn't much fastboot info since everyone seems to like the one-click methods or the methods that require minimal typing. You can look around the G1 forums for fastboot info and unpack a few images.
Just don't erase hboot and you'll be OK- and by OK, I mean that you'll be able to recovery from any semi-bricked, boot looping, non-functional state.

Somethere in development section i saw a rooted stock rom in .zip format for flashing by custom recovery. Worked for me.

You're right. The first post in this thread looks promising.
Can we flash the ROM and RADIO linked without risk?
Edit: One more question: what does "Deodexed" mean? I saw the "Deodexed" ROM in the first post in the linked thread.
Hi guys,
Finally obtained the bollocks to root and install a custom ROM on my One X. Just need some confirmation though, on the ARHD page it says something about downloading firmware from a thread, my phone is currently on 1.29.401.7 so do I need to flash any firmware? It's quite confusing, thanks.

fastboot erase cache
flash boot.img that comes with the rom

no worries fella..like i said follow the guide on the thread of the rom and make sure you backup your rom mate
Dear all,
Firstly, I'm new to this forum - hi. I have done an extensive search and found some guides but even those confuse me so I'd appreciated some constructive comments without any links to guides I may also find difficult.
I'm trying to install Jellybean to my device using a guide (that I currently can't link to because I haven't had 10 posts).
I have downloaded the two zip files it says I need (ROM and Google Apps) and have copied them to my SD card. However I don't know how to get into recovery mode to then load these. I downloaded RecoverX and tried to install it but it says my phone is either not connecting or is missing some drivers. I have busybox installed and my phone is connected with USB debugging enabled.
Can anyone advise me further?
Thank you.
What have you got?? Unlocked or Locked Bootloader ???
You forgot the first step.
Unlocking your bootloader
You have to unlock bootloader to flash custom jelly bean kernel. Then you can load cwm

Download the official cyanogenmod 10 and the gapps,flash the incluedid kernel.When the phone start press lot of time the volume down button.After format /system /data /cache just flash the rom and the gapps.

I'm sorry but I don't really know what 'bootloader' is? My phone is rooted though, if that's any help?
are tygenet
I got into recovery mode using X fast app (I think that's what it was called). I then backed up and wipe everything as the guide said. I then installed the cmon and gapps zips and rebooted but it just stays on the 'Sony' screen and I can't boot into recovery mode either!!! Help!

Restore backup, its only thing u can do right now. If u want to flash custom JB rom, u must unlock bootloader as said before because different versions of Android cant run on the same kernel.
To install custom rom, do this steps:
1) unlock bootloader (if possible, otherwise, u r stuck with ICS roms.)
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions
2) After that, its simple - flash selected kernel via flashtool and then flash desired ROM!
And piece of advice, u have search on this forum, its quite usefull

If u cant get into recovery, try flash stock .ftf file via flashtool. 1st enter flashmode, then flash it. U have here on forum stock firmware, download it.

Do you have a link to that please? If I Google it a get a whole load of different results. Also, I can't load into recovery mode nor can I even get past the 'Sony' boot logo - it just hangs. Am I still able to use this flashtool??
I'm new on this forum.
I've installed the Slim Bean rom last friday, and i have a problem. With this rom, i don't have the android standard e-mail app installed. Use this app to sync my Exchange calendar. How can i install this app?
Excuse me for my english, and thx a lot for your answers. :good:

Rather than randomly posting your question in someone's existing thread, try creating your own new thread in this forum...
You will probably get a faster reply.

Of course you can still use flashtool
You should flash back to stock Rom again and root again
If you want to use jelly bean, you have to unlock your bootloaderfirst

For that you have to flash via CWM the Google Apps or the so-called Gapps. Link: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip (If you flashed the 4.1.2 official SlimBean). I help you because that's the ROM I use (but the 4.1.2 version, not the 4.2.2 by besttt)
my frnd give me this rom and tld me to flash it
but he didn't mentioned that how to flash it
he gave me 3 files

2. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2312735
3. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2409687
can anyone say me how to do this???
first of all, make sure your lgog is rooted and unlocked.
then follow the instruction from the thread.. flash the ROM first, then flash the kernel.
but I would suggest you don't do it because by looking at your post, I don't think you know anything about what you intended to do.
read more about custom roms and kernel before trying, don't regret later when you brick your phone..

First, you have to root and unlock your phone. You can skip the flash steps TWRP.
Next, download the file and put 2 Pacman rom and kernel Kite V16 in memory.
Now, reboot the phone and Recovey mode.
wipe done 3 times. Then flash ROM and Kernel 2 files.
Reboot and enjoy.
I suggest using cwm or cwm touch. Twrp gives errors sometimes.

look for FreeGee in market, it will unlock the bootloader and install either CWM / TWRP based on your choice.

if you flash kite kernel over stock rom, you probably bricked your phone.

try your luck in kite kernel thread, maybe someone have done similar things like what you did and have a solution for that.
I have no idea as I am still using the stock rom and haven't have the intention to flash my phone yet, so din't do much research on it.
Still the same advice, make sure to read & search before start doing anything. Cry won't help when you bricked your phone.

Please,stop poluting the forum with useless threads. If you have questions related to a rom,ask them in the thread. What if every newcomer would open a thread for every question??there are posting rules,read them first.

nope you just need to wipe data and cache after that install this zip and if you want it include gapps too, after all installed successfully turn on your phone wait it. for first boot it take a while and if this very longer / stuck in black screen turn off your phone and flash the boot.img from this zip with fastboot mode from your phone and turn on again and it will be worked
And how do i acess recovery to install the rom? Do i need to flash a custom one? And so when before flashing do i have to delete any of those files that are in the root of the zip? And the boot.imh what is, the rom? The recovery?

Yes boot.img is for recovery mode , you need to flash that from fast boot mode after you flash cm12.zip and gapps.zip too and don't forget to wipe data and cache after install both of them
But do i need root to flash the recovery? Isnt impossible to flash the recovery after flashing the new OS? Lolll
