[Q] HELP Stuck at black screen after trying to flash boot.img - HTC One X

I have a unlocked HTC One X.
Endeavoru PVT Ship S-On RL
HBoot- 1.12.0000
I wanted to install the Android Revolotion HD Jelly Bean Rom.
So I tried to update the HBoot version by manualy flashing the boot.img for 17.x (v.0.1) by using this manual:
1. Download the Fastbbot files
2. Extract it to the root of your drive (C: or D So you should have a "Fastboot files" folder in your C or D drive
3. Now put the boot-r1.img in the Fastboot files folder
4. Start up command prompt (type "cmd" in the search bar) and navigate to the fast files folder. To navigate to the fastboot files folder you have to type "cd\" and then type "cd\Fastboot files".
5. Now boot your phone into bootloader (by holding down power button for a few seconds until it reboots and then press and hold down the volume down (-) button). And then once in fastboot mode select "Fastboot USB" by pressing the power button.
6. Now type the commands "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and that's it.
After that, the HBoot version is still 1.12.0000 and when I reboot the phone, I'll get the HTC One logo and after that a black screen.
I flashed a new ROM but that didn't help. So I went into recovery and restored my old ROM but that didn't solved the problem either.
Please help if you can. I'm pretty new at this. Thank you in advance!
Greeting, Elo

I maybe wrong, you should not flash a boot.img meant for a JB ROM when your hboot is lower than 1.31
Find another boot.img for ICS, and reflash that and restore your backup ROM or any ICS ROM.

Thank you for your answer, it WORKED!

Thank you for your answer.
I downloaded the 9.x boot image and reflashed it. After that, the phone booted as normal. (Phiiieuw!)
Which hboot version do I need before I can upgrade to 1.3x?

First you need to check what your CID is. If your CID is listed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376 and there is no JB OTA for your device yet, you need to flash the firmware to update the hboot to 1.31 or 1.33 or the latest 1.36.
Then only you can flash a JB custom ROM.
But if your CID is not listed, sorry to say that there is no JB Sense ROM flashable for your device.

I'm stuck.

Stuck on HTC screen - can't access

Hi
I've looked on here already to try to find a (working) solution for my problem but haven't so far. My HTC desire was
downgraded from ICS to a gingerbread rom successfully - however - upon trying to unlock (unbrand) my phone the
software was stopping this so i tried to install a stock rom on it via usb cable. It downloaded successfully and rebooted.
But when it restarted it stuck on the "htc" loading screen. The only way i can turn it off is to remove the battery - also
when i try to enter recovery it just sticks on the HTC screen too.
This is what it says on the HBOOT screen:
--------------------------------------------------------

Okay thanks a lot, just done it now.
I typed in fastboot erase memory and this pops up:
erasing memory....FAILED (remote: partition is not existed!)
Any idea what this means?
I did the second part anyway and it went into recovery fine, i tried to install a zip from sd but it aborted it because it was "bad"

If you want it neat and clean to start from beginning, download alpharev downgrade hboot, flash it via fastboot (follow the instructions from site), download 2.3 RUU from htcdev, unpack it and run from your PC.
The previous attempt to return to stock GB ended with failure because you have revolutionary hboot which is write protected and hboot and radio can't be flashed. So, you had the old radio on your device (RADIO-4.05.00.11) and GB needed a newer one and after flashing it didn't want to boot.
With downgrade you will unlock write protection and RUU will overwrite both hboot and radio.

It's not a patch, it's hboot that you're looking for. It's the last one on table, nicely called "Bravo Downgrader".

Hi again, thank you for your reply. I'm new to this and when i ran through the instructions on alpharev, it didnt work so im obviously doing something wrong, and don't want to mess it up so could you please say whether this is the correct way to do it
From the instructions on alpharev its goes as:
1) nandroid backup in recovery - I have 4ext recovery, so i just basically click "backup" right?
2) download bravo_downgrade.img
3) go into hboot (power+back button)
Now this is the bit im confused about:
fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img' (change into the correct filename for the HBOOT you downloaded)
4) 'fastboot reboot-bootloader'
5) 'fastboot erase cache'
6) Boot recovery, wipe everything and restore.
I don't see these options available to me, is this because I have 4ext and just need the normal clockworkmod?
Thankyou.

4) & 5) are fastboot commands.. so make sure u have fastboot set up on ur computer. click adb & fastboot in my sig if u dont.
once setup, download the bravo_downgrade.img and put it in ur C:\ drive on ur computer, then put ur phone into fastboot, hold back button + power and plug in ur phone (usb) so it says "fastboot usb" then open fastboot command window and type -
fastboot flash hboot c:\bravo_downgrade.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
then boot into recovery and do what u need to do

[Q] Need help upgrading hboot

Hello all,
Just before anyone says, I have looked for a few hours for the answer to this question, but all of the answers are either ambiguous or too complicated for a novice like me to understand .
The question I have is how do you upgrade the hboot of a rooted international HTC One X (step by step). I really want to flash CM 10.1 custom ROM, and it requires a newer hboot than the one I have. I have found a tool called JBFWFlasher, which can upgrade an hboot, but it says when you go through the steps: AFTER UPGRADE YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO INSTALL A FULLY FUNCTIONAL NON-SENSE BASED ROM.
Obviously CM 10.1 is non-sense based, so I think this is a dead end.
Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance :laugh:.
Details:
Hboot: 1.12.0000
Clockworkmod: v5.8.4.0
Cyanogenmod: 10
Get your CID
CID getter from the playstore will do, for the easy/lazy people or do the fastboot command
Fastboot oem readcid
Once you have ypur cid you go here and get your matching firmware
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376
And then you do this :
Rename the .zip to firmware.zip and place it in the fastboot folder
- Boot the phone to the bootloader and relock the bootloader :
Fastboot oem lock
- then put the phone in ruu mode with this command
Fastboot oem rebootRUU
(watch the capitals, this command will put the phone into a black screen with a silver HTC logo)
- then flash the firmware
Fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
- you see the text on the pc screen, when it says OKE you are good. If it failed you reflash the zip right away again.
Then reboot the bootloader, unlock it, flash the custom recovery, make a full wipe and install the new JB of ypur choice and don't forget to flash its boot.img too
Thanks, you couldn't have made that explanation simpler :laugh:. So, because I am an idiot and I somehow have no fastboot folder, what are all the components I need for it?
At the moment I have:
The latest CM 10.1 zip folder
^^^ The boot.img copied from this folder
The latest gapps zip folder for CM 10.1 & Android 4.2.2
The CID when I get it
Anything else? Thanks for the help .
You need the ANDROID SDK BUNDLE ..... Unpack it and inside the platform tools you find the fastboot files. That is your fastboot folder.
Or use a JB firmware flasher.
Also, one other thing, when I just went and got the zip from the link you posted, the download was off of Android Revolution HD. Just thought that I'd check, this won't mean I can only use this ROM will it? CM 10.1 will work fine?
Not trying to be awkward, I just don't want to get this wrong .
First you need your cid otherwise you don't know what you need to download !

I have it downloading now . When I have the fastboot folder and the other parts I mentioned, is that all I need to be able to change the hboot, re-unlock bootloader, re flash CWM (oh yeah I need that as well :silly and install CM 10.1.
Thanks for the help so far, I really appreciate it .

Yeah, I did the CID and found it was HTC__001, I then went on to download that zip for hboot 1.39 and that is when the android revolution page popped up. Just thought I should check with the guru first :laugh:.
Oke yes that's correct .....
Yep then you have it all. Also put the unlock code.bin file (the one you got in the mail from htc the first time you unlocked the bootloader) into the fastboot folder.
Follow all the steps i wrote earlier and it will be fine
How to flash ?
Open a command window from inside the fastboot folder . Hold shift and point in the folder then right click the mouse and select : open command window here
From that dos command window you type all the FASTBOOT commands.

Ok, so it won't mean that I can only install Android Revolution HD? Better to be safe .
Also, the ADT Bundle just finished downloading, and I'm extracting fastboot to C: drive at the moment. Thanks for the help, is that all I need to do? (seems too easy...) :laugh:
After the update you can install any rom here you like.
Yeah unpack the bundle to a folder where you can find it .... then follow the steps !
Knew I'd spoken too soon. In program-tools, fastboot is an application, not a folder, and when I click it it does nothing. Is there any stock fastboot folder I can get from anywhere?
Common mistake ! You need to open the command window inside that folder with the fastboot.exe file !
Like i mentioned about 2-3 posts back.
Don't double click the fastboot.exe file it does indeed do nothing !

So can I copy this individual file into C: drive and use it as a 'base' file to store all the CM10.1 folder and stuff?
I should probably stop bugging you now, its midnight lol
Yeah this is my last reply and then im off to bed ! Its 1 o clock here now
The cm10.1 and the Gapps go onto the sdcard of the phone
In the fastboot folder you need :
- firmware.zip
- unlock code.bin
- boot.img from the cm10.1
- custom recovery.img
And then you start......if you are uncomfortable with all this we can also do this all with teamviewer tomorrow evening ? If you like ! :thumbup:

Hold the power button and the volume - button as long as it takes to reboot into the bootloader. Check if your hboot has changed. Then unlock it
Fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin
After unlocking you flash the newcustom recovery

Uhh, have you actually installed recovery - if you haven't well that's why.
Go here: http://www.4ext.net/ddl/ace/recovery.zip
Extract the files
Copy recovery img to your adb.exe folder (make sure fastboot.exe is there)
Turn on your phone into fastboot mode
CD to that directory and type in "fastboot devices"
Confirm it says your serial
Then type in "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
Now you have recovery (it means you can flash roms and kernels and mods and anything flashable apart from radios and firmwares)
I did this correctly, everything is OK, but now what? I tried to install stock ROM, but with no result. Here is a pictures of instalation-
now select recovery, and install ROM there

don't install stock rom or RUU again..
just installing custom rom (you can search and choice a custom rom in "Desire HD Android Development") and installing the rom.zip file from 4ext recovery (install zip from sd card)..don't forget to flashing boot.img too (flashing under FASTBOOT mode with fastboot command "fastboot flash boot boot.img").. that the boot.img are extracted from the rom.zip file that you had already installed..
hope this can help..

did you already installing 4ext recovery..?, if so..to go that recovery then you just need select Recovery from your bootloader menu..then you can installing custom rom from there..
just copied your custom rom file to the root of your sd card..this mean just placed inside your sdcard..don't placed inside any folder..then after that you can installing that rom from 4ext recovery
hope this can help..
I made this from second post, but can't see any difference in phone or bootloader. When I pushed recovery from original bootmenu, came white screen with green HTC logo with one vibration end nothing happend
Just repeat all the step in second post...just this time you show me the out put from cmd...after you typing command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

because i see you're success flashing a custom recovery that you already show me above in attchment file before...
if your bootloader are already locked..then you must unlocking again first...then after that you can continued flashing custom recovery..
Thank you ! Now the bootloader is unlocked, and I did that from the second post with already unlocked bootloader. Still nothing can I do.
just tried installing another custom recovery...just try download it TWRP recovery from here.. copied to your adb.exe and fastboot.exe folder and flashing it through FASTBOOT mode with command .. "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-ace.img"
hope this time your phone will had a custom recovery installed
good luck.

that's so weird..it must be something wrong with that phone..
what about if you try return to the stock first..?
to do that...firstly just find the cid num of your phone by command through fastboot "fastboot getvar all" (you can find your cid in the INFO CIDNUM XXXXXXXX) if you wanna show me the output of that command..don't forget just remove your imei and serial number first..
after you find your cid num you can find the right RUU for your phone..just check it here to find what RUU you must download it..and just download it the RUU with same main version of your phone or higher version than yours..
after that just relocked your bootloader through fastboot "fastboot oem lock"...now you can continued flashing that RUU
hope this help..

Here it is

[Q] Fastboot Commands On Phone Startup

I have a HTC Desire HD that I have tried recently to S-off and root, plus install a custom ROM. I downgraded it to 2.3 before using the AAHK to try and root it. I ran the program waited for it to finish (well at least it looked like it had finished) and a got presented with a black screen with the HTC logo in the middle and 4 warning triangles, one at each corner.
If I try all the button combinations to get into recovery mode, fastboot mode etc. nothing happens. If I connect it to my PC and run 'adb devices' It shows none. I thought my phone was completely and utterly broken until I tried, 'fastboot boot boot.img', the boot image was the one I had extracted from the custom ROM I wanted to install and it loaded, no problem, It was as if I had installed it on my phone because it ran fine.
That until I rebooted my phone, it went back to the black screen
I sent the 'fastboot boot boot.img' command back to my phone and presto, it works! All my data is stored it was as if nothing had happened.
Now, I know that if my phone powers off and goes back on It will stay on that black screen until I send the command from the computer, which is a pain, but it works.
Is there a way to:
A) Fix it so it goes to my ROM every time instead of black screen?
B) Run the fastboot command automatically on the phone at startup .e.g IF THE CODE WAS IN ESSENCE: "boot to black screen" we could change it to "boot to boot.img from SD card"?
P.S I can also boot the recovery.img from fastboot in the same way as I did with the boot.img so the screen changes to CWM:good:

Are you s-off?? If you are not, s-off your phone and reflash the ROM.
But if you are s-off try reflashing the same ROM.

Your phone is booting in RUU mode.So probably the only solution for you should be to flash the right RUU for your device.As long as you are S-OFF you can flash any RUU you like.(You just need the right RUU for your CID or to give your device SuperCID).
While you are in RUU mode screen give the command fastboot getvar all and copy-paste everything it prints here (except from your imei number and your device serial number.)

You can find an RUU for your device here.
You can download the latest european RUU from here.
About your first question we need those informations to tell you what would the better solution for your device according those informations.
(For example hboot version, CID number, MID number, S-ON/S-OFF state.Even version-main number would probably help us to find what RUU you had installed and if exists a better solution for you instead of flashing the latest RUU or the same one)

Of course not!An RUU will flash the factory ROM in your phone.But you can always take a nandroid backup of your custom rom using your custom recovery and recover it after the correct flash of an RUU.You have to relock your bootloader using the command fastboot oem lock when you are in bootloader in order to flash the RUU of your choice.
After the flash you have to unlock your bootloader again with htc_dev and flash the recovery of you choice.(If you are S-OFFed you don't need to unlock your bootloader again.Just flash a recovery from RUU mode).As long as you have a custom recovery you can restore a previous nandroid backup or to make a fresh install the rom of your choice.(I suggest you to make a fresh install of your rom instead of restoring a nandroid backup).
If you want to restore specific apps or data from a nandroid backup you can use for example titanium backup.I would also suggest you to make a backup of our contacts (extract from your default app) before you make the nandroid.

If my phone is S-Off:
1. Lock Bootloader
2. Flash RRU (Command?)
3. Reflash ROM (Proper way?)
Else:
1. Lock bootloader
2. flash RRU
3. Unlock with htc-dev
4. Reflash
^ Is this right? And how do I flash the ROM properly so I don't have this problem again
Thanks

So I need to check if my phone is s-offed and if it is do I just leave the boot loader as it is or lock it still?

By relocking your bootloader you won't make it S-ON.(Have you succeded S-OFF?)
You have just to relock your bootloader only for htc_dev way.
Instead of ***Unlocked*** in the top of your bootloader you should be able to see after the lock ***Relocked***.After you flash an RUU it should say ***Locked***.But as long as you are S-OFFed the S-OFF remains.
If you give us the print of the command fastboot getvar all we could help you further.

First of all, The Command fastboot flash recovery boot.img isnt going to work. Its a bad command.
What that command means is.. You are telling fastboot to flash a kernel into the recovery partition. Which is wrong.
What you should do is search for a recovery like 4ext recovery for the DHD from here(that was my favourite recovery),
If the above link doesnt open, try using this one(Its CWM.)
flash it using the command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
After its done enter this command
Code:
fastboot reboot bootloader
which should reboot into the bootloader.
From there use the volume buttons to navigate your way recovery and press the power key.
You should be in the 4ext recovery screen.
From there you can flash any rom you want.
I would recommend SVHD rom as it was stable and also my favourite.
Or
You could make a recovery which can be flashed through bootloader.
Here are the steps
Download the recovery i posted a few lines up.
create a text file and name it android-info.txt
Open the file
Now copy these into it.
Code:
modelid: PD9810000
cidnum: HTC__001
cidnum: HTC__E11
cidnum: HTC__N34
cidnum: HTC__203
cidnum: HTC__102
cidnum: HTC__405
cidnum: HTC__Y13
cidnum: HTC__A07
cidnum: HTC__304
cidnum: HTC__032
mainver: 2.50.405.2
hbootpreupdate:12
Now save it and close that file.
Next highlight recovery.img,android-info.txt and use your favourite compressing software to compress those two files into a zip file. DOnt change the compression settings, use the default ones.(You could use winrar)
Now rename the compressed file to PD98IMG.zip and copy it onto ur sdcard and reboot your device into bootloader.
It would scan for factory files.
Ones it detect the file, press the volume up key for it to flash it.
Once its done, you reboot into recovery.
If you find any difficulties, feel free to ask.
