Hello,
Id appreciate any help with my problem:
After wishing to upgrade to JB from ARHD 9 (ICS), I flashed the correct Hboot and upgraded CWM to 5.8.4.0. However, when trying to flash the ARHD ROM, im getting a "failed installation" message after selecting the zip on the SD card. I thought it might be the boot.img i was using (from the download section), so used the one from the ROM zip instead. No luck. I erase the cache etc very time I can.
Any ideas to what might be the problem?
Thanks in advance
so you have a hboot 1.3* and you flashed the boot.img with fastboot command
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
then entered recovery and did a FULL wipe (also dalvik cache under the advanced tab)
then trying to install the rom.zip ?
install failed, redownload the rom, might be corrupted !

What are the commands for flashing a rom in fastboot?
Ive tried
Code:
fastboot flash ----.zip
?
Am doing this cause JOKERDROID4.2BUZZ.zip wont flash in clockwork mod 3.2.0.0 or 4.0.0.2. It flashes in 2.5.1.7 but boot loops. I am coming from cm7 what do you think?
You can only flash a particular partition with Fastboot, like /system /data, Recovery, boot etc. AFAIK, You cant flash a Zip ROM as is the case with CWM.
You can check the list of Fastboot Commands here:
http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Fastboot
Also, you got 2.5.1.7? Where? AFAIK Wildfire only has 2.5.0.7. Anyway, you can use Fastboot to replace your CWM 3.x or 4.x with 2.5.0.7, then try flashing Jokerdroid. Also, make sure you are performing a wipe (Factory Reset / Wipe data in Clockworkmod)
Where can i get 2.5.0.7?
Cant remember where i got 2.5.1.7 the file name was 2.5.0.7 but cwm said 2.5.1.7?
It's there under Custom Recoveries:

jokerdroid just bootloops!?
i have wiped and wiped cache and delvik!
Try Redownloading the ROM. Or, if you search the thread, there is one version which is clocked at 648MHz. Try that. Probably the high CPU clocks are not suiting your device.
EDIT: Scratch that. Its clocked at 710, so shouldn't cause an issue.
Well after boot looping 5 or so times it rebooted cwm then rebooted system and bootlooped once but the powered up? Wierd!
if you want to flash a .zip package:
fastboot update filename.zip
if you want to flash an img. file:
depending whether you want to flash a new recovery:
fastboot flash recovery filename.img
or a new ROM:
fastboot flash system filename.img
I do however strongly recommend erasing you current recovery before flashing a new one:
fastboot erase recovery
and do a full wipe (this will erase your data, recovery and system partitions)
fastboot erase system -w

Because your nandroid is setup to work on a Stock Hboot is the reason it's not working. The system partition space is not enough for your nandbackup file.
did you wipe cache via fastboot after rebooting of bootloader?
fastboot erase cache
you need to wipe/format all partitions including dalvik except sdcard
then flash it again...
Nandroid back up will be not working because you changed system partition size as backup from stock hboot is way too big to fit onto cm7/r2 system partition

thank you for your quick answers
You have to type this command in CMD. For installing / using Fastboot / ADB, check my guide.

i was looking for easyest method to upgreat the hboot but now i will read your guide again ....i guess i have no choice
Easiest to flash things radio, recovery, bootloader or splash screen is IMHO Android Flasher:

EDIT: You use CM7r2-version of Runnymede, do you?
ok i did it more carefully and i flash the rom after upgrate ... so it booted ....
i just got scared i thought i broke it
thank you all
Every time I try to flash boot.img for a custom ROM using fastboot the bootloader on the device crashes (gets stuck until manual reboot).
It seems to flash fine according to terminal.
To test, I just flashed the newest CWM recovery using fastboot and that worked fine. Bootloader didn't get stuck.
The device is crashing a lot since installing 1.29 ROMs so I think boot.img isn't flashing.
any ideas?
is that after changing roms?
You need to have correct boot.img for the ROM you are using.
Also, between changing ROMs, you should delete at least(!) the cache partition (fastboot erase cache), preferably whole /data (will reset to factory!).
Simply put - I think erasing cache will solve your problem: fastboot erase cache
Did you manage to resolve this in the end? I'm getting exactly the same issues.
Naturally, after posting, I realised that I was typing fastboot boot boot.img, forgetting to add the "flash"
Actual syntax: fastboot flash boot boot.img
Hi,
I got a HTC One X (JB, ARHD 19.2)
I'd like to use the XM-Kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2136731)
but I don't understand the 4th instruction here given in the kernel thread.
"1.Install modules from recovery (Install the zip)
2.Wipe dalvik cache.
3.Erase fastboot cache
4.Flash kernel image with fastboot"
Flash kernel image with fastboot ?
Do I have to unzip the kernel on my computer, use the " new_boot.img " file inside the folder ?
So... The question is : Where's the kernel image ??
the boot.img could be in the .zip file. open it and check it......i dont know if its need to be repacked for the rom you are using by the way....
Open the xmkernel zip and extract 'boot.img' or 'senseboot.img' to your fastboot folder. Copy the intact zip to your sdcard and flash in cwm after flashing kernel. Xmister advises that no repacking is required, but I used the online service anyway.
Thanks for this post, answered my queston. One more thing:
Is there a specific fastboot command for flashing kernal image like there is for, say, boot.img
i.e. fastboot flash boot boot.img?

Yes its
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
And as additional info, if you ever made a nandroid backup with twrp recovery you get a boot.emmc.win file (its the boot.img)
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash boot boot.emmc.win
Fastboot erase cache

Try fastboot erase cache, and fastboot flash TWRP again.

Instructions on how to flash TWRP via fastboot are on the TWRP page: https://twrp.me/devices/htconem8gsm.html
Before you flash TWRP, erasing cache (which can often clear up problems with TWRP not installing or booting properly), is a simple fastboot command: fastboot erase cache
