im not a noob but the htc one v is a bit more difficult than my nexus 7 to deal with. i have unlocked and rooted my virgin mobile phone. i want a rom that i can simply flash in recovery and not mess with kernels or extracting boot images ect. i already bootlooped one phone. basically i want to wipe, flash a rom by installing the zip file and be done. is there one here for that. the whole boot boot img thing is messing me up to no end lol
flash the modaco custom rom (mcr).
edit: o sorry i thought u were gsm...

Hi,
I have viperx running on my HOX, I plan to back this up and try other roms.
The question is do I need to flash the boot.img in fastboot before I install a backup version of viperx or can I simply restore without flashing the boot.img.
I assume that if the boot.img is the same you can do this...
I was kinda hoping I could do what I did with the desire and have several roms backed up for whenever I need them.
Your backups will also have boot images in their folders. And unless you flash the exact same rom, you must flash the backup boot. Img from fastboot.

So if I flash the the boot .img for the Coredroid rom then flash coreDroid would I be then able to restore with cwm recovery the viperx rom without having to flash the boot.img for the viperx rom.
If both use the same kernel yes, otherwise you have to flash ViperX boot. Img in your backup directory from your pc using fastboot.

Ok last question I promise, is tha boot.IMG the kernel, if so if I use the faux kernel will that suit most roms coredroid in particular
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
faux kernel is compatible with almost all the roms.
Give it a try and find out for your self. you can always return back to stock kernel.
So I rooted and unlocked my bootloader on a stock HTC one brand new from radio shack ics version 4.0.3 I want to know if I do the ota update will I suffer any damage to my phone and will it wipe? Also I have custom recovery so I have to choose zip file from downloads. I'm new to this phone do any info helps. Thanks

I don't see any harm in taking the update. Afaik it is just a radio update which can be reversed by running the ruu back to an older version. Try it and let us know your results.

It brings me to the cwm recovery menu and when I locate the update -sdcard/downloads/update that's where it is, it says this software could render your phone incompatible but it's an ota update
So it should work. I'm just scared to brick this phone I just got it two days ago so I could return and say it's not working I want another but I got it on sale and I don't know if they would do that or if I have to pay the extra 100$ which I can't do. Do if it doesn't start up what could I do to fix it? Like when you flash you have to fastboot a boot.zip file right? How do I do that? I'm still on stock obviously and I have a backup of my current status and completely brand new stock, thanks guys

To install the OTA update, you'll need to restore the stock recovery, stock kernel, and most likely relock your bootloader. If you are using Virgin Mobile, be warned, the OTA is not compatible with any roms or kernels available now. If you try to install any custom roms or kernels, you will be stuck in a bootloop and will have to RUU back the older version to install them.

Ok thank you I am using virgin mobile but I like the stock phone I feel changing roms is too much work and I feel as if I won't like them plus I need a computer 24/7 and also I don't feel comfortable with switching back and forth all the time if I don't like anything. Mods can delete this if they'd like I got my answer thank you guys

Virgin Mobile HTC One V (CDMA/primoc)
2.3.3 twrp recovery working fine
Unlocked with HTC dev
***unlocked*** (in boot loader)
Flashed su then gapps 4.1 then Pacman ROM
Error can't format SD ext (don't think this is a problem but hey just in case)
When the phone reboots it stays at the boot animation for the ROM. I've tried a couple other ROMs to no avail. I also left it with the boot animation over night just to make sure it wasn't just taking a long time. I have also been searching the internet for a RUU to at least get the phone working again. I've also been reading the xda forums and I think it might have something to do with my radios (like version 1.0.0...) I'm not totally inexperienced in android rooting (I'm currently using my HTC Evo V 3d s-off rooted with Gangamstlye ROM) but any help would be much appreciated!
I am able to access twrp recovery and can use adb with fastboot still - only my one v won't get past the boot animation

If it's a new phone you will most likely need to run the RUU but you should go in this order when flashing a ROM.
Extract the kernel from the rom
Boot into recovery
FULL WIPE
Flash ROM
Boot into bootloader
Flash boot.img through fastboot ( fastboot flash boot boot.img )
Install 4.1.2 Gapps
I have tried reflashing in that order and it still didn't work :/ Do you know where I could get a RUU?

Hi guys,
I'm reading about custom roms for one x and in installation sections usually are infos about flashing new firmware packages before installing custom ROM from SD. Now I have stock JB with 3.16.69.3 firmware. For example I'm going to flash Android Revolution HD where is older one: 3.14.401.31. Do I have to flash this package via adb or just downlaod the rom .zip file and flash in recovery? What I should do? Thanks
First ... you make a nandroid backup of the stock rom and store it somewhere safe !
Then you download the rom.zip file and copy the boot.img file from within the rom.zip to the fastboot folder, and the rom.zip to the sdcard of the phone
Flash the boot.img file, enter recovery and perform a full wipe. Then install the rom.zip via the recovery menu
And if you are on stock recovery you have to flash a custom recovery first !
The firmware update is needed for jellybean ROMs that have HTC sense 4.0+.
As you already have stock jellybean on your device.
You already have a high enough firmware to flash the custom variants so you don't need to worry about updating firmwares

Thank you for quick reply!
I already have custom recovery ok. Do I think correctly that boot.img is modded kernel image? It is safe to "downgrade"? And last question, what about hboot; I have 1.36.0000 one, it is good?

You have nothing to worry about, all s fine to flash any rom in here. And its not really a downgrade. The software number is a bit different but its all JB

And if you flashed the rom with the correct boot.img and your radio signal/WiFi doesn't work ... Check this thread

You have the same software number. That's why the nandroid backup is important
Hi everyone,
I recently rooted my phone.. I have some basic knowledge of CWM and such, but i'm really a noob about Android; I'm just starting to explore the possibilities with ROMs.
I have ICS 4.0.3 installed on my Primou and was wondering if I needed to have 4.1 to install some ROMs. If so, is there a way for me to update my Android version?
Thanks a lot, and sorry for the noobish questions.
you update your android by flashing a rom, take a look at the stickie topics at the general, with that information I knew a lot more about roms etc.

You don't need to upgrade to flash roms, all you need is your phone unlocked, rooted and with a custom recovery such as cwm (not recommended, it has some problems with our phone) or twrp (very good)

Allright, thanks for the help.
Flashed CM10 and Hellboy now, working great. How can I replace CWM though?
flash twrp the same way you flashed cwm
