[Q] My HOX (HTC One X) wont install sense roms

Hello,
I have recently bought a second-hand HTC One X. When i bought the HOX it was rooted running the viper x 2.0.0 rom. I decided to change the rom to cyanogen 10 nightly. It was working fine but then i decided to install slim bean 3.0.0 and this was working fine too (this is what i have on my HOX right now).What i would like to do is install viper x 2.0.0 again or another sense-based rom. However i tried doing this and it does not boot. When i install it, it just loads the htc logo and then reboots again back into clockworkmod recovery?
I have tried various sense-based roms and none of then work? Also i know viper x 2.0.0 works because it was on there when i bought it.
Please can someone give me instuctions on how to do it.
Thanks in advance
P.S When i try to install the viper x or other sense-based rom i flash the boot.img using 'fastboot flash boot boot.img'
I have just fixed it i installed the latest version and worked the one i was installing must have been a ota update? anyway if u are stuck like me read this

after flashing the boot.img try "fastboot erase cache" it should work

erase cache always

Thanks for reply

Yes, i know this because i use winrar to extract the boot.img from the viperx.zip
What do u think i should do to make it work?
I was thinking do i need to flash a kernel that works for the viperx to work or does the viperx.zip already have a kernel inside the file?
At the moment i have : 2.6.39.4-cyanogenmod because i have slimbean installed which is based on cm10

Full wipe, that's all I can think of.

1. go to bootloader and hit fastboot option
2. fastboot erase cache
3. fastboot flash boot boot.img (boot.img from the viperx.zip)
4. fastboot erase cache
5. disconect the phone from USB and go to the recovery
6. wipe data/factory reset
7. wipe cache
8. mounts & storage format system , data , cache
9. go to advanced and wipe dalvic cache
10. flash the rom
11. I rebooted the HOX in the aroma installer
12. and then it just boots on htc logo then back into recovery?!?
Also the weird thing is only sense-based roms don't work? And all the sense-based roms i have tried use aroma installer, maybe this could be to do with it?

First install rom then boot.img.

Do it all over but this time install this zipfile before flashing the rom in recovery
http://db.tt/eLoVUcRc
Put this file on the sd card and flash it in recovery like a rom, when this completed install the blade rom ! Maybe it helps
Ps it's a superwipe script !

Thankyou will try now..

Did not work!
It didnt work why do u think its not working?
When i install the desense version it takes less than 30secs to install and it says
"Installing update package"
But it cant be an update because it was 280mb and the 2.0.0 release is also 280mb?
Thanks for help any more suggestions?

Did u check the checksum of the rom ? Maybe bad downloads, are u using some download manager or accelerater ? Those things might cause trouble ?
Just thinking out loud here !

Also I can use viperx cos the Rom can run on that hboot

The only thing i can think of is a bad download .....
If you flashed the kernel in fastboot, did a full wipe (superwipe script) and flash the rom it should boot ... It's just as simple as that !
And I don't see a modified boot.img in the OP of the blade rom either so that's not it !
I would gladly test it on my hox with 1.36 hboot but I can't until tomorrow in the evening .a

when you said you still can boot into viperx, you reflash the viperx ROM or just a reboot after failed attempt to boot Blade, it boots to viperx ?
Edit: It is either you use the superwipe script provided by MarcelHofs to really make a full wipe
or on your previous step that you mentioned:
1)flash boot .img
2)wipe date/factory reset
3)Wipe cache
4)wipe davlik cache
** format system <---- do this too
5)install zip from sd card
6)then reboot...
7)then stuch on htc logo on boot? it should boot

I think there is no need for you to waste your time to test the ROM. If he run your superwipe script, it should boot.
Check your PM.

What I personally did:
1. format /system
2. wipe data/factory reset
3. clear dalvik and erase cache
4. flash ROM
5. flash boot.img
No problem..

Clockword Mod I/O Error

I flashed Cyanogen Mod 10.1 beta 5 (latest one when I flashed) on my One X and all was working fine for a few days, then the system randomly shutdown and on reboot got stuck into bootloop. I opened up clockwork mod but occasionally I get this message
Failed to open cache/recovery/log_data
(I/O Error)
Also if I go into "Advanced" and try to mount data, cache, sd card, etc I get an error saying that it can't
This happens around once a day and the only way I can get out of bootloop is to factory reset my phone
I've flashed new roms, even gone back to Android 4.1 but I still get the same error message.
I've reasearched and found nothing on this and have no clue what to do and help will be greately appreciated

I looked at newer version of Clockwork mod but didn't know if they were device specific and didn't want to risk flashing the wrong one on my device

Flash this one

But you must not go into mounts and storage and mount the caches and stuff yourself. No need to do that for anything

There is no harm in manually mounting partitions how the op describes.
I make quite a few framework edits and it can cause problems changing the framework while android is running.
I quite often manually mount system in cwm as its easier than doing "adb shell mount /system"
But for the average user there is little need to do it as the installer scripts automatically mount the partitions that they need

Try TWRP recovery maybe. Don't really know what to think of this. When you flash the new recovery also do
Fastboot erase cache

So you flashed cwm 5.8.4.0 while you where already running that....???
Did a fastboot erase cache ?
Can you give more details
Hboot ?
Version-main ? (Fastboot getvar version-main)
Edit on your edit : it looks like you have some sort of memory corruption .....

My best guess was a ruu but i can almost say for 99% its not leaked yet.
Can actually still flash a rom ? Or does it stall somewhere in the process ?

I've tried looking and all the RUU are for older versions
Phone just rebooted and can no longer access recovery, get a white screen then boots into fastboot
Edit: Rebooted phone and recovery is back working, and just flashed ViperX 3.2.0, but stopped on installing gapps

Tgank you for all your help but I'm going to give up trying to fix it myself and hopefully someone better equipped than me can fix fit

I hope you get it sorted somehow.....as my knowledge stops here too

Problem after installation of custom ROM on HTC one X

Hi,
This is my first post (and sorry for my bad english)
I got a problem with my HTC one X, yesterday, I try to install the custom ROM ViperX 2.6.0 and after the installation, the ROM works but I am blocked on pin code because the touch doesn't work and the 3 buttons at the bottom to. The only buttons who work are power, vol up and down.
So, since yesterday, my HOX is bricked because I didn't make back up and I don't find good version of RUU and I can't send files on the SDcard.
How can I unbrick my phone (with the custom ROM or reset my HOX with RUU)?
My HOX's caracteristics:
cid : HTC__203
version : 3.18.401.1
HBOOT-1.39.0000
Thanks to help me. And sorry for my English ^^'

it is not bricked. did you flash the boot img from the rom zip? and if you did, did you fastboot erase cache after flashing the boot.img ? and did you do a full wipe, including cache and dalvik before flashing the rom

Also shouldn't you be flashing viper x 3.7.4 ?

Oh and use mount usb storage on your custom recovery to copy the Rom to sd

Thanks for your reply, you must be right, but I don't know how mount usb storage works.

When I select "mount USB storage" on recovery, it doesn't work and there is "E : unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory)"

Flash a newer recovery. Yours is outdated.
http://db.tt/t6RTcTwK
Then install the viper 3.7.4 just like you did with the 2.6. It booted so you did the correct steps.

were you on stock ics or jellybean. that fault used to occur on stock ics when using cwm. you could flash twrp recovery or newer cwm and see if you still get the fault
beaten by @Mr Hofs

I flashed a newer cwm, flash viper x 2.7.4 and it works.
So my problem was a older version of the custom rom and I needed a newer version of recovery to mount sd card and flash with other custom rom.
We can close this topic =)
Thanks to all.

Yes Lukes is right. This is the typical issue if you didn't flash boot.img AND erased the cache. Give it a go, it'll fix it for sure.

Yep it did the trick ! now it works fine.
What are your experience with updating nightly builds.
Can i just update them through CMs update manager or is it best to flash from scratch.

Why do people mess around even before reading !!!
You flash a boot.img via fastboot commands on the pc. The boot.img is located inside the rom.zip file !
