I've successfully rooted my phone. I tried to install Slimbean Primo U, but I got stuck at the welcome screen with the red text. So I did a full wipe (cache/format), then tried again, but to no luck. So I tried flashing the hellboy kernel, did another full wipe following the steps of this guidline, and it seemed to work, but now I'm stuck on a black boot screen that says "Android" - there's a shining animation across it. I've been here for about 20 minutes already.
Did you use the latest kernel-
boot-HELLBOY-201212251747.img?
What command did you use for flashing it?
The correct command is
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Also,did you mistakenly flash it in Hboot,instead of fastboot?

Yes, I did use all those proper commands.
How would I go about mistakenly flashing it in Hboot?
When I started the bootloader, I went into fastboot option and did it from there. Was that the right process?
Yes,it is to be flashed in fastboot.
When you connected the phone to your PC in fastboot,did it say 'fastboot USB' in red?

I don't recall that it said that. Do you want me to check? Should I boot into bootloader? I still have that "Android" animation going.
Yes,go into bootloader by holding power for 10+seconds until screen goes black,then release power and hold volume down.then bootloader pops up.from there go to fastboot,connect phone to PC and see whether it says fastboot usb.
if yes,then again flash the kernel and see whether the command prompt says something like this at the end
Sending boot.img
<Okay>
Writing boot.img
<Okay>
Finished.
Edit:How much was your battery when you last saw?

I could not tell you the battery but I went into this with a full charge about an hour ago.
Yes I got "fastboot usb" and I flashed it and this is what it said:
sending 'boot' (2972 KB)...
OKAY [ 2.273s]
writing 'boot'...
OKAY [ 1.591s]
finished. total time: 3.869s
Now I rebooted and am back at the Android animation.
OK,that means you have the proper driver setup.did your upgrade your Hboot?because there are some problems with the newer versions.

I think I might have. Is there any way to check? Is there any way to downgrade? This is my first root and I'm just following guides.
OK,I don't have much knowledge about downgrading Hboots.did you make a backup of the stock ROM before flashing Slim Bean?if yes,try restoring it.or download a sense ROM like Suprimo and see.

I tried restoring my backup, but it too got stuck on the plain HTC screen with the red disclaimer text.
Downloading Suprimo now; will edit this post.
Ok,put the backup on your PC.open it using winrar or 7zip and extract the boot.img out of it.then flash it and then restore the backup.

Whatever the newest Titanium KISS is.
Thanks a lot for your help tonight; thought I was going to lose more sleep than I did.
Yes,that's the sense kernel.I am sensing that your Hboot is upgraded,that's why you will have to downgrade it before flashing any JB ROM.but,try once more and flash CM10 or Paranoid Android and see whether it boots.
But,atleast,we have sorted out that you have no driver problems,you are able to flash kernels and ROMs with full wipes.
And,if you will try to flash a JB ROM,also format everything in the mounts and storage menu in the recovery.sd-ext format will give error,don't worry.but,don't format sdcard.

So as will be immediately obvious, I am new to posting on this site and I'm sure the title will explain why. Before I start, I was using (the 'was' will be explained later) a rooted stock ROM and I had not backed it up (the instructions I used forgot to mention it).
The 2.17 HOX OTA update was finally released by three (I'm currently on 1.28) and I hoped that this update would fix several problems I've been having (standard HOX problems like battery life, camera quality, lag, and an ever growing system data). So I was fairly desperate to install this update, but when I tried clockwork recovery told me that it failed, and by using google I discovered that I'm not the only one with this problem.
This where I get stupid. In desperation to install this update I found that SuperSu has an option to full unroot and I hoped that this would reinstall the stock recovery in the process, but now I am left with an unrooted phone with clockwork recovery installed.
If anyone can help me reinstall the stock recovery so I can install this update I'd very much appreciate it. I apologise if I was long winded, I just felt it better to try and explain the whole situation.

I'm not sure what's stopping you from installing the stock recovery?

Thanks for replying. I'm not very knowledgeable at this so I'm not sure how to, and would I need to use a computer or can I do it directly on my phone?

You need to install Android SDK on the PC you want to do this on.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Update/install everything on it once installed.
Then you can begin.

I have just successfully reinstalled the stock recovery, and although I am very grateful for your help, you forgot to mention the next step which was to type "fastboot oem lock" on command prompt.
Thanks again!

Okay so I rommed my phone with CM10 Rom and then every time i reboot it, it needs to go to the computer and do the boot boot.img thing
Is there any way without doing that?
Hi mate, there is a way of doing it so that re-booting doesn't need re-flash.
I would suggest doing some searches before posting !
Here is a link to a VERY handy tool-kit to speed up the process if it continues:

Do you have SuperSU installed?
You need to do
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Not

I have unlocked my bootloader and installed cm10.1 on my HTC one x. I forgot to make a recovery for my ROM and cannot find a working stock ROM. I am from the UK and my HTC one x was locked to three, I got a code to unlock it so it would work on O2-UK. Does anyone know of a stock recovery Rom so I can re store my phone? The reason why I cannot use cm10.1 on my one x is because I get a error saying "the process com.android.phone has unexpectedly stopped" every time I press ok to get rid of it, it comes back over and over. Anyone know or suggest why? (THE CM10.1 MOD IS THE NIGHTLY VERSION) thanks
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda app-developers app
Wipe data... Manually format /system from custom recovery and then flash CM10.1 again! and also make sure you flash the boot.img again!
If you want to go full stock, then post the result of the following:
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main
Thanks, how do I flash the boot.img please?

You need fastboot folder : http://d-h.st/8Jr (Download it and extract the Fastboot folder in your pc)
HTC Sync Manager (For the latest drivers) : http://www.htc.com/www/support/software/htc-sync-manager.aspx (Skip it if you already have)
Now boot your phone to fastboot mode by pressing Power and Volume Down button together till you reach bootloader screen. Now select fastboot from the screen.
Open the cm10.1rom.zip file and extract the boot.img from it place it in the fastboot folder.
Connect your phone to your PC and then go to fastboot folder and open a cmd window there (Pressing shift and right click)
Now run the following commands:
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
Now go to recovery, wipe data/cache/dalvic and then flash rom.zip and then gapps.zip and REBOOT!
Okay thank you I will try this later, hope it works

In that case I would suggest that you flash a RUU and see if that works. You will need to relock the bootloader for that.
