Hey guys, i am trying to flash a kernel on my phone (bricked kernel) i came from 3 different roms and i always get the same problem. After i flash the rom and enter into it and make sure everything works, I go back to fastboot to flash the boot.img of the kernel and then proceed to flashing the kernel module in revcovery. Everything goes well but once I restart my phone just wont proceed pass the htc logo
I am running hboot verson 1.36 as that is the highest i can go with a CID_044 and running CWM 5.8.4.0 Is there something i should be doing or am doing wrong? Please help and thanks
Are you on a JB rom ? If you are, you can't use those kernels. They are for ICS roms only
Mr.Hofs i right like always but if you are on a ics rom you still need to repack your boot.img. You can do that by using nibble.cc. First step is to take the source boot.img and that can be found in rom.zip and you select it when you are on nibble.cc by clicking on source img. Then you need kernels boot.img and that comes with the kernel download in the kernel.zip. When it is all ready they will upload and repack and you will download repackee boot.img. Hope it helps and good luck

Haha thanks, and i had a similar case a while back and i adviced him to use the 0.6 or 0.5 bricked kernel because I saw some reports in the bricked thread about not booting. It worked for him.
And are you using the right bricked kernel on the right rom. There is one kernel for the aosp roms and there is one for the sense roms
I don't know if i understand (bad english). With repacked kernel will it work? Same case, CM10, 1.36 hboot and CWM 5.8.4.0.
hey guys thanks for all your help i got it to work on an ICS rom but not on a JB rom which is a real bummer cause i really like the JB roms so i guess i just skip flashing kernels and stick with stock Thank you all for your help i really appreciate it
In fact there are no custom kernels for JB yet at all, HTC has to release the source code for it .... but they haven't done that yet ! Till then stock is all we have
How did you get back to the default kernel after flash bricked kernel?
There are 2 ways to go back to the stock kernel
1 ; flash the boot.img from the rom you are using and flash the modules that can be found in the rom.zip
2 ; flash the boot.img from the rom you are using and reflash the rom without a full wipe ( only cache & dalvik cache )
These methods are the ones i know, maybe there is a tool somwhere ... but i don't use tools

I just want to make sure I understand...If I currently have Stock JB running on my HOX I cannot use a custom ROM because the source has not been released? I am asking because Ive gone through all the "standard steps" needed to unlock, root, backup, and flash CM10, but I cannot get past the boot screen.

No custom kernels are not possible. And i mean by that, that there is no sweep to wake functions or other big tweaks like undervolting. Custom roms are no problem ! And to your not booting question : CM10 on a JB hboot needs a modified kernel !

You need this one ! Then it will boot

also i have another few questions. Is the boot.img you are inking to different than the one packaged with the CN10 rom? If I want to go back to my stock nandroid backup do I need to flash the stock boot.img, or will the restoring of the backup take care of that for me? if i do need the boot.img from the stock rom, how do I get that.

Yeah I got a mail that my links are suspended !!!
But yes its a different boot.img, and if you want to restore the nandroid backup you also need to flash the boot.img from the nandroid backup ! Its located inside the backup folder
Here it is, the CM10 boot for usage with higher hboot versions.
Thanks everyone. One more question... I see the stock boot image in the backup, but it has a different file extension. Do I have to convert it, or do I just rename it to boot.img? Right now it's named boot.emmc.win
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Just flash it like this:
fastboot flash boot boot.emmc.win
Thank you so much for the info.

If the nandroid backup is done with CWM the kernel will be named boot.img, and when the nandroid backup is done with TWRP recovery its named like the file you have ! :thumbup:
Awh yeah! It worked! You guys are awesome, thank you for your help!!

OK, another question. I have s-off, I was under the impression that I would not have to manually flash boot images. So I guess my question is why do I have to manually flash the boot images?

Stupid question:
did i have to flash the right boot.img when i restore a rom via nandroid?
lets say, i have a sense rom installed, but want to restore the cyanogen rom.
did i have to flash any boot.img before i restore a backup?
i guess not. correct me if im wrong
Yes, of course you do. You can't write to the boot partition from recovery (without s-off), which is why you have to flash the boot.img via fastboot when you flash a ROM. So when you're restoring a backup from recovery it's still not able to write to the boot partition, so you'll have to flash the boot.img from your backup yourself.
where do you get the boot.img from? is it in the nandroid backup file, if so where? Thanks!
ps sorry for bringing up an old thread.
In the .zip file of the Rom you want to restore.

U should flash the same boot.img as it was when u made the nandroid, for example, yesterday I was with venon and franco s kernel, made a nandroid, flashed another rom and boot.img. then used my nandroid of venon, restored nandroid and flashed franco s kernel boot.img.
LET THEM TALK, ALOUD!! HTC ONE X, THE ONLY ONE. VIPERX + FRANCO KERNEL r12
So I flashed few custom ROMs in a past few days. But every custom ROM requires me to flash boot.img. if I don't flash boot.img, my wifi will error or in other case, my phone won't even boot into homescreen.
I don't mind to do so (flashing boot.img after flash new custom ROM), but is there anyway to switch between custom ROMs without flashing boot.img? Is it caused by my device is S-ON? Cus my previous phone didn't require me to flash boot.img. I tried to backup two custom ROMs and restore in in CWM but I still need to flash boot.img. why can't I just backup 3 custom ROMs in CWM and restore it anytime as I want wothout flash boot.img?
Thanks

Ya.. because of s-on, the kernel cannot be installed during the ROM installation. You can switch between ROMs without flashing boot.img only when those custom ROMs are using a stock kernel.

Oh. I see. This is really depressing. I really like your ROM but also love Modaco Vanilla ICS ROM. Is there any way to use stock kernel on both ROM? (Just for my personal use, not for published)

Let me tell you a little secret.. hehe...
1. grab yourself 7-zip (http://www.7-zip.org)
2. decide which rom's boot.img that you want to make a default for all your downloaded custom roms (which based on htc ruu).
3. let say you decide MoDaCo's rom boot.img
4. Open the MoDaCo's rom with 7-zip, browse to system/lib/modules; extract the modules folder with its content.
5. For all custom's rom, replace the modules with the one from MoDaCo.
6. You can flash any custom's rom without a need to flash a boot.img provided you already flash the boot.img from MoDaCo's rom earlier.
So only one time flash the boot.img, the next custom rom, you don't need to.(because you already replace the modules). When you make any nandroid backup of a custom rom, restoring the nandroid, you don't need to reflash the boot.img.
So this works for most custom roms that we have in One V Dev forum at the moment (not much of them too), I can say it should be 99% works. Give it a try.

Hey, just wondering if anyone can answer a few questions for me. Total newbie here and i'm just currently learning before i take action. I'm slowly getting there
I'm currently on 1.28 (Android 4.0.3) if i were to flash a custom 4.0.4 (2.05) rom would i be able to return to my current state via nandroid?
How do you 'uninstall kernel mods'?
Why can i return to 1.28 from a custom rom, but not from an OTA
Thank you for your time if you answer.
I'll be thanking ANYONE who answers

Make the back up before you install anything and you can restore it fine..
Restore will wipe out any mods you have installed but to just remove a kernel you need stock modules to flash and also the boot.IMG.
You will need to flash the boot.IMG in the backup folder from your pc in fastboot as the device is s-on and as a result boot.IMG cannot by flash from CWM this needs to be done.for every ROM you try.

Thanks for your answer. Really grateful. Where would I find these stock modules and I thought the boot.img includes the kernel so wouldn't flashing the stock boot.img get rid of the mods?

say you flash ARHD and then you flash boot.img stock one...there is a thread dedicated to repacking. there you can find the stock modules for that rom...same goes with the other custom kernels. GuyAdams has all repacked boot.imgs with modules there
and no flashing boot.img does not get rid off any mods
Hi guys!
Noob here. Searched through other threads but all i found is making CWM backups as well as flashing the kernel (boot.img)
Would like to know if there is a way to get the currently running boot.img?
I'm on a stock rom, unlocked booloader and rooted. Reason I need this is for easy/quick switching to stock.
I used a boot.img that was posted here on one of the threads but it seems to be for a different region (though it still worked as i was running the correct recovery file plus I had to do all the steps again). In case i have to go back to stock again this would be a faster way i think.

Many thanks, paarthdesai!
So I was craving vanilla android on my HTC One V (CDMA, primoc) so I unlocked the boot loader, rooted it and installed TWRP. I tried AOKP first, but I ended up in what was basically a boot loop (it would boot up into the setup/startup but within about 30 seconds to a minute it would reboot). After digging around a bit I found some information indicating that only AOSP ROMs would work on my phone, I think because I had taken all the OTA updates before installing the ROM. So I tried some AOSP ROMs, but virtually all of them do the same thing. I have been able to get the CodefireX ROM working, but MMS doesn't seem to work with it (I can send texts but don't recieve them). I'd love to be able to install CM9 or 10 but I can't seem to find any AOSP ROMs (other than CFX) that don't put me in a boot loop. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

I always flash the boot.img from the ROM zip, that is flashing the kernel isn't it?
The following have support for the PrimoC OTA update:
-RhythmicROM
-x3reme Sense v5
-I have also gotten PACman to work using the CFX kernel (flash the ROM but use the boot.img from CFX)
-demi_fiend is working on a ROM and kernel that is basically a stock ROM (at least that's how I understand it). The kernel is available, but the ROM hasn't been uploaded yet.
Sounds like you have what I had yesterday. Had you already allowed any over-the-air updates?

Well RhythmicROM is giving me the same issue as all the others. I might try flashing demi_fiend's kernel and see if that helps...
*EDIT* So I just realized it might be important to mention that every time I do a factory reset with TWRP it fails and says sd-ext can't be wiped. I've been able to wipe everything else though, and was able to get CFX working so I assumed that wasn't the problem.
