{full proof method of not getting bricked cause of battery}

as i have seen many threads stating that in the custom recovery one cannot charge the phone, so i thought why not use the stock recovery after flashing the rom!!
1. i flashed a custom rom in the custom recovery
2. after the first boot, i went to the hboot and flashed the stock recovery
3.restarted the phone and booted back to the custom rom, no reboots, no hangs what so ever, rom booted normally
4. switched my phone off from the bootloader to check if it works and voila it is charging !!!!
5.to flash a custom Rom just flash a custom recovery in the fastboot
i do know that you have to flash a recovery every time you flash a custom rom but till a proper fix is found it is better to do this than depend on your luck
Edit: (credits to cpv5 for this info)Make sure you don't go to recovery when you're on stock recovery as it will wipe everything on your phone & virtual sdcard and you will be back to setup screen again.

even better is that once you have done the OTA update to 1.28 you get the new Hboot which can boot properly so you never have to replace the stock recovery. just fastboot boot recovery.img if you need to change rom or nandroid

I dont think that the 1.28 Hboot has fixed the fastboot boot commands...

You can fastboot boot a recovery? not just a boot.img?

Very interesting, seems to be working for recoveries here as well (s-on unlocked hboot 0.94).
I'm really interested if this works properly for zImages as well. I thought PaulOBrein was working with htc for a solution for this "fastboot boot" though? Maybe some parts ain't working?

This is a great tip, thanks!
and is it just me, or does adb work when fastboot booting clockwork with the stock recovery flashed?!

I just add further note on your question here
See the edit part.

Thanks a ton ckpv5

Has a question here, how do we flash stock recovery in hboot? I only know the way of flashing stock recovery via fastboot with the command of "fastboot flash recovery [recovery name].img*
Is my way wrong or there is some other way?

Where do I get stock recovery from? Tempted to do this until cwm supports charging....

ok so...when you mean this, you are saying that by simply going to hboot and afterwards "recovery", it will wipe it all?! wtf?!
any reason for it?

Because the stock recovery doesn't have menu like the CWM recovery, so once you choose recovery, the recovery process will run. Not like the CWM recovery, you need to choose which function to run.
So two things can happens when you go to recovery when you're on stock recovery:
1) the recovery will runs and wipe everything on your phone (I tested this)
2) the recovery will runs and there is error where you see the phone logo with red triangle, then you need to shutdown and restart to your current ROM.

[Q] Phone Reboots

I rooted my phone and tried coredroid but decided that i preferred the stock rom and everything in it so decided to flash back. I had made a nandroid backup, so flashed it, and restored the recovery and relocked the device, however. now when trying to select music to play or to try and change the ringtone, the phone will crash and reboot. this happens every time, am downloading the RUU now to see if that will fix it, but does anyone have any ideas, any help would be much appreciated

i experienced that before and it was late when i realized it was because of the boot.img that you flashed from the custom rom, since you restored back to stock rom your boot.img file your using is still the custom rom that you used, try to post from the thread of coredroid and ask for the boot.img to be flashed for you to use your stock rom and remove the restart issues

Just extract the boot.img from your nandroid backup and flash it via fastboot (you'll need to unlock your bootloader again if you've already relocked it)

THANKS!!!
OMG thanks it worked, i dunno why the CWM didnt flash the boot.img as well, anyway it works now, thanks both of you for the help

CWM can't write to the boot partition without S-OFF, which is why you have to manually flash a boot.img through fastboot when you install a new ROM. But it also means you have to do the same thing when restoring a backup.

Q: Flashing Android Revolution HD 6.0.0 (1.29.401.11)

Hey guys I've just unlocked the bootloader on my HOX and installed CWM and rooted. I had a Galaxy S2 before so flashing roms was a bit different and before I end up bricking my my new phone, I just wanted to get some more info/confirmation as to what I (think) I know before flashing a new rom, Android Revolution. Hopefully this can help some other noobs.
I've downloaded the required files, the rom zip, the kernel bootimg and super wipe.
I have a FAIR GENERAL idea of the steps but I'd like to confirm here before damaging my device.
To my knowledge:
1) Place the rom zip on the internal SD card via USB cable as normal along with the super wipe zip.
2) Boot into the bootloader, enter fastboot and connect the phone via USB and open CMD from the same folder used to root it, with those files present. When CMD is opened enter fastboot devices to ensure the device is being detected and then flash the bootimg kernel using the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
3) (unsure of this step and following steps...) After flashing the bootimg via adb reboot the device and enter bootloader mode again and this time enter recovery.
4) In CWM, reset to factory settings (data wipe), clear cache, clear davlik and then flash the super wipe zip and finally flash the rom.
Those are the steps I know..and I've also read of a .bat file to execute the adb commands automatically but I don't know exactly how that works and I'm a bit scared to try it. I've done my research so please don't flame me for asking this, I'm just scared as hell to brick my new phone.
If someone has a clearer simpler list of steps please post them or please correct any errors I have there. Thanks in advance for the help guys

Making the bat file is very simple..I'll help you on fb if you want...Everything else looks good though...do you really need to connect to the pc every time you want to flash? 0_0

The bat file isn't an issue..once I have the correct commands (if someone can confirm that too it'd be appreciated ) I'm good. And yeah I think so because a kernel ..or bootimg can't be flashed in CWM cuz its S-On ..so anytime u need to flash a new rom I guess you'd have to flash the kernel for that Rom via fastboot.

[Q] Installing Custom Rom Jelly Bean

Hi Everyone,
I'm new to the forums and Android in General.
After the Jelly Bean update, I noticed a bigger drain on my battery. On ICS I usually have an average of 24 hours on my normal usage of my HOX, but after the update, the average for the same usage just takes ~12 hours.
So I've decided to flash my HOX for a custom ROM. I really a noob in terms of rooting/flashing custom ROMs so I would like your assistance with this. I've read all the tutorials and manuals for doing things but still kinda unsure on the specific steps that I would take. Please let me know the step by step procedure that I would take in rooting/flashing a custom ROM in my HOX.
Here are the things that I've downloaded:
1. CWM Recovery 5.8.4.0
2. Fastboot
3. Firmware for CID__044 with Hboot
4. Android Revolution HD 16.0
I reckon that this would be the steps but I would like to be sure:

[ROM] Android Revolution HD 16.0 | High Quality & Performance | Sense 4+ | BEST STOCK
Please let me know step by step on what I should do because I don't know specifically. Your assistance is very much appreciated. :good:
Thank you!

yes the first link is correct for you...just follow those steps carefully and everything will be fine...

Thank you for the help! Just finished unlocking my bootloader and installed CWM. Currently doing a Nandroid backup.
I'll be installing Android Revolution HD 16.0 ROM and there's a couple of things that I do not understand.
How do I do these steps? (From the ARHD ROM thread):
Proper HBOOT version for Jelly Bean based ROM (don't know how to do this. I'm already in Jelly Bean, what do I do with the Hboot?)
Flash boot.img from the downloads section (where do I get the boot.img file?)
Thanks!

These steps
When u go to ur bootloader ur hboot version version will be given.
If its 1.31/33/36 ur good to go
I am assuming u already have the right hboot as ur on JB.
The Boot.img is given in the ARHD thread itself see properly.
Now to the flashing part.
Download the boot image and keep it in ur FAstboot folder.
Go into bootloader mode.
Select fastboot
Connect phone to pc using usb cable.
In fastboot give command fastboot flash boot boot.img
and then Fastboot erase cache
Now go to ur recovery and install the ROM.
Done

I've run in to another problem again.
I've installed ARHD 16.0 custom ROM and I've already booted.
Upon checking the settings, Airplane Mode is stuck at "turning off", WiFi "error", there is no IMEI.
Hope you can help me out with this as well.
Thanks heaps!

all i can i say if you have installed the rom and it has already booted is to do a clean wipe again and start over....make sure you do a backup first and do a full wipe and flash the rom again my friend and see what happens..normally a full wipe would fix the problem....check also in the ARHD thread and search if anyone had the same issues as you

Reflash!
Some Other users have also faced the problem.U should have MD5 of the downloaded file but no prob.Just flash the ROM again problems will be gone
CHeers
And yeah full wipe + Dalvik Cache too!

1. go into fastboot mode from bootloader
2. flash boot.img
3. go into recovery from bootloader
4. FULL WIPE-factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache..
5. reflash rom from recovery.
now there should not be any problem...
and u have done a good thing making a backup:good:
the boot.img can be found inside the rom zip file....or a specific compatible kernel(boot.img) prescribed by the dev can be flashed...

Thank you
Hi All!
Thanks for your replies! My phone is now working with the ARHD ROM!
I re-flashed the boot.img file included in the ROM and erased the cache and everything is working now!
Kudos to all of you and once again thank you for the help!

no problem...always happy to help...

No wifi & no mobile signal - please help!

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

fastboot erase cache after flash? installed modules for kernel?

I'm having the same problem... tried everything I can think of but no success yet.
Any suggestions?

I also have the same problem but with Renovate rom.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Flash the boot.img via fastboot and then its modules via recovery with a cache and dalvic wipe.. I'm sure it will be fixed...

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.
