[Q] Why does some ROMs cause the phone to bootloop? - HTC One X

Hi guys,
I'm not very skilled in flashing ROMs, but I do it anyway every other day or so as am curious on what new ROMs can provide. I now longer panic when the phone get stuck at the bootscreen. Now when it occasionally happens I now have time to thinking about the reason for the bootloop - and that's why I start this thread
For some reason there are ROMs that I'm not able in install, like the official nightlies from CM 10 and Liquidsmooth RC9 - but I have no problems installing the "pure" Jellybean 4.2.1 (AOSP), TripNDroid CM 10.1 and Blade v4 (desensed) which I'm currently running.
Can anyone explain why some are able to boot on my HOX and some are not?
For your info, I'm on the Tegra 3 version using HBOOT 1.36 S-ON - Recovery is CWM 5.8.4.0
Thanks in advance.

I always do this - of course I can miss it sometimes. So I always trye reflashing if the phone get stuck in bootloop... But with the above mentiones ROMs I can't install them not matter what I do.

I think it may be caused by your hboot version: 1.36. You may need a special repacked boot.img to run some AOSP/AOKP/CM10 ROMs.

DO you Flash the correct boot.img ???

I always thought the hboot versions was backward compatible?
Regarding the boot.img -> then I alway extrat the boot from the ROM zip - and maybe that's the problem?

That is the problem. For example on official CM10 you need a special boot.img for higher hboots. See post #9308 in CM10 thread.

The fact of the matter is that most of the 4.2.1 based custom rom are compatible with HBOOT 1.28+ on the contrary to 4.1.2 based roms. For second ones U have to flash a special boot.img.

Ahh... that clears up some things. Thanks buddy! :good:
Talking about the boot.img file... Is there a sort of "all-round" boot.img that can be used for all ROMS?

No, such thing doesn't exist. Every ROM has it's own workaround for hboot incompatibilities.
And every ROM uses a different kernel so it would be impossible.

But' that would be cool. One boot for all ROMs.. I have a dream

[Q] [q] icecram jibwich 2.0 problem

Hey, I flash this ROM a few weeks ago but today seems like I had a problem with it it just froze on the HTC white screen on boot now I can't Boot into ROM I did not mess around with it I just rebooted and there it goes ) could anyone help me?
I think that this is the wrong place for your post. the right place is the jibwich 2.0 thread!
apart from that jibwich is outdated and practically indifferent from Andromadus Audacity beta 1 or 2. The best and up-to-date ics roms are the Andromadus roms (mimicry and audacity).

Sounds more like a recovery problem than a ROM problem; what recovery are you using? CWM frequently has this issue, try reflashing the latest version or, better yet, flash 4ext.

Thanks, I will try your CM10 ROM, although I have rooted and installed several ROMS in a samsung spica, and a sony Xperia ArcS, I have not very clear how to install your ROM.
Wipe Data, Cache, and system "OK"
Flash the ROM "It's the TEST13 file? is this done in the recovery, right?"
Flash GApps "is this done in the recovery, right?"
Download the boot.img "OK xD"
Flash boot.img in fastboot "I guess this one is not done in the recovery, could you please be a little bit more specific? what is included in the boot.img? it's mandatory?"
If I install this kernel it adds any apps/option in the ROM so I can change the OC to 1.2 or keep the default 1?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1765687
Or in order to change I need to install a 3rd party app in google play?
Thanks in advance

boot.img is the kernel, mandatory.
In case you need commands
Settings>Performance has options for freq. control. But I think some app like "no frills" is recommended.

yes, I'v used stock kernel (due to I'm using stock ROM) but no effect

See if the phone boots......

Don't see where mate ... otherwise i would have not asked, i only see you used stock kernel
Edit 1 : ah you talk about cores......my eyes only check for the word : kernel
Edit 2 : I've seen reports of not booting in the thread a while ago, you can try to get your hands on the 0.6 or 0.5 and try again

MIUI offical builds doesn't work :(

Hiiii guys! I have a problem with MIUI official rom, and maybe some kind guy could help me...
I tried to flash the rom the first time, with custom kernel, and result was a bootloop...
tried with stock kernel and the phone process stopped forever XD
tried the previous build and touchscreen is not working...
I don't know what can I do, these two last builds are pain in the ass...
someone had these problems?
I always wipe everything, flash boot, flash rom, language pack (maybe is the lang pack the problem?) flash gapps, reboot...
Ask such questions in the ROM thread :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957490
After flashing MIUI with it's default kernel, you need to wipe everything and then format /system and then flash the ROM.zip...
com.process errors either means you didn't flash the boot.img correctly or you didn't wipe via recovery...

Yes, the touch won't work because of the different bases! AFAIK!
It's best you use RD-MIUI... Any roms which are not from XDA, I'm not sure anyone here will be able to help you.
All I can say is do the following:
Flash boot.img after that erase cache via fastboot. then flash this script via recovery: http://d-h.st/kG0 and then flash the rom.zip... This should work.

I wanted to try the official one, because it's up-to-date and because it's official (I think is more reliable, with respect for the RD one that is a good rom), and I still don't understand if RD-miui is v5...screenshots are miuiv4...
anyway, I'll wait for someone who had some experience with official builds...thanks

I tried every single v5 official build! and I have always touchscreen not working....this is the only issue I have

you know that RD-MIUI is based on official? it's just made perfectly compatible with the HOX ....so you should flash only roms which are really made for HOX and especially from xda ...try RD-MIUI ...it is based on v5 but not latest v5 ..it's like a pre-version...

[Q] Need Help - Phone Stuck on boot screen.

Hi Guys,
I am new to flashing. but however i tried my luck at it with my htc one v (gsm).
While installing the rom, the did a factory reset, wipe the cache, delvik cache and the system and then installed the rom "[AOSPA 4.2.2 JDQ39] PARANOIDANDROID 3.1x [beta][08/03/2013]"
After that i booted in boot loader and installed the hellboy kernel. and then installed gaaps.
But now my phone is stuck in boot screen.
Please let me know what i did wrong and how i can fix it.
Regards,
Jerold Vaz
Did you flash the right kernel?

I've not seen that version of Paranoid android ported to this phone, leading me to believe you may have got it for another phone. You need to choose a rom for the HTC One V.
