My sister has bought a one x with a custom rom already installed (LeeDroid) and it is quite an old version. With the one x do you need to Flash something before the rom itself? And what would happen if I only install the rom? Thanks

Ok. Would that be a .md5 file or would it be located in the rom.zip ?

thats all...just extract that to fastboot folder and flash it with the below command
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
:good:
It would be located in the downloaded file (ROM)

hello so am trying to flash ARHD 6.0.0 to my one x, i did unlock the bootloader and flashew CMW touch into my handset.
the only thing i dont know how is how do i flash the boot.img?
everybody saying dont flash it using CMW then how the hell can i flash it?
pls super noob here and i dont know what to do
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Instructions are provided in most rom and kernel threads.
You need to use fastboot commands from your pc, for example:
fastboot flash boot what_ever_your_file_is_named.img

put the boot.img in the same folder your fastboot files are on your pc, then boot into your bootloader on your phone.
pick fastboot, connect your usb so it becomes fastboot usb
in the cmd prompt on your pc type fastboot flash boot boot.img
or download this program http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1634786 (courtesy of team hex)
put your boot.img in the boot.img folder
put your phone into fastboot usb
then run the program and pick flash boot.img
If you don't get it then you shouldn't have unlocked the phone in the first plce until you read up on adb/fastboot

This.
I wish more people would actually read and understand what they're doing before they start doing it. If you unlock/root your phone you NEED to know how to restore any changes you make, this usually means you need to know how to use ADB, the Recovery console and the Bootloader (the bare minimum of things you need to know).
If you don't know how to use any of these things stop whatever it is you're doing. It most likely wont end well.
You should really read up on things. Until we get soff you won't be able to flash kernels etc through cwm. Regarding adb and fastboot try reading this http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-adb-and-how-to-install-it-android/.

Using batch files to make flashing IMG faster is all well and good but learning to do it yourself is the only way to really be safe with what you're doing.

In order to unlock via HTCDev you need to flash the .bin file via fastboot so he must have some idea of how to use it!

I've tried this batch file many times, it rescued me from bootloops and softbricks.
Instructions:
Download the .rar file
Open it and extract to desktop
Place the boot.img in the folder ( boot.img flasher.rar > boot.img flasher )
Reboot ur phone in fastboot mode ( adb reboot bootloader )
Run the batch/sh file for ur OS
Flash the ROM
Enjoy!

Thanks Dear for Fast reply. The given boot img will work on 2.17.751.2 as it is of 2.17.401.2?
Oh opps, didn't see that. You can find the boot.img inside the RUU.
Not too sure if this'll work or not.

As I was on 1.29.751.12 and I updated to 2.17.751.2 through OTA, but unfortunately i forget to take backup of this udate with original boot img . and i took backup with custom boot img and I flash custom rom of CM 10.
so now i need to revert to stock rom. That why I need 2.17.751.2 RUU Boot img file.

I don't know too what exactly the problem is..but just guest...maybe ARHD rom can't support just unlocked bootloader device, maybe must be s-off too..
If you want still try another ROM like stock but ICS version and with just a little tweaked..you can try SVHD ROM too..that most stable and good battery life rom that i've ever try until now..

It's normal. Download mode is looking for an RUU file. With the M9 RUU are flashed from the SD-card.
You have to rename the ruu.zip to opjaimg.zip then when you boot to download mode it detects the zip and you can flash it from the phone without fastboot. I don't know if the same can be done with just a firmware.zip. though.

It seems you can flash it from the SD card. Copy the firmware to your an SD card. Then rename it OPJAIMG.zip.
Put the sd-card in your phone and reboot to download mode. It should detect the zip. Then press Volume up to start the flash

You mean like boot.img and recovery.img right?
You need to use fastboot for that.
Put the .img file I your fastboot folder on your PC. And put phone to Download mode.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Although any .img from the firmware will have been flashed when you flashed the firmware.zip
