Hi guys,
i've got a big problem with my HTC One X after installing Android Evolution 8 from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562603
I cant post in the thread there so I hope this is a good place.
I unlocked and rooted the HTC succesful with clockword mod.
After that I used this instruction:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxJf8xIVVC0
So i made a backup with clockwork mod, after that i wiped all the caches as said in the video and then I installed Android Evolution 8.
After reboot i got a reboot loop, after showing the startup screen the One X reboots, again and again.
I figured out that the problem could be, that i didnt use the superwipe tool, i justed wiped as in the tutorial.
Is there a way to reset the HTC or to restore the backup and to reinstall again or can I throw the HTC away?
Ok, sorry for the thread, I had no time to wait for an answer because battery was almost empty and didnt charge, so i risked it an tried to restore the Backup in Clockwork recovery.
That worked an now the HTC works fine again.
So i ll charge it and after that I user Super wipe before I reinstall Evolution 8 again.
Maybe the thread will help somebody else one day, cheers.
Steps to get out of boot loop
Hi,
You are probably got into a boot loop because the boot.img you have on your phone is not compatible with the custom ARHD ROM or is not correctly flashed. First charge the phone upto at least 50% battery (to be safe). Then try following the steps below:
1. Download this pack>> Fastboot Pack http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1616741
2. Extract the boot.img from the Custom Rom you are trying to install in a folder on your computer.
3. Extract Fastboot Pack into a folder on your computer and replace the boot.img by the boot.img extracted from the Custom Rom in Step.2
4. Turn your phone OFF
5. Turn your phone ON in bootloader mode by holding the power and vol down buttons at the same time, your phone will start in HBOOT mode. It will be displayed somewhere in the middle of the text.
6. Use the volume keys to move up and down the list, and select Fastboot, then press the power key. Now your phone will come in FASTBOOT mode.
7. Connect your phone to the computer via USB cable. Your phone will now display USB FASTOOT instead of just FASTBOOT.
8. Run 05-erase-cache.bat
9. Run 06-flash-custom-boot.bat
10. Run 08-install-clockwork-recovery.bat
11. Disconnect the USB cable. Your phone will now again say FASTBOOT.
12. Use the up or down volume key to select HBOOT and press the power button. This will take you back to HBOOT mode.
13. Use the volume keys to scroll to RECOVERY and press the power button.
14. This will take you to Recovery mode, now you can flash the Custom Rom you want using Recovery mode.
Let me know if I helped by clicking Thanks
Hi,
thanks for your answer.
Unfortunately also after using the Super wipe i've got a Bootloop after installing HD 8.1.0.
The link with the fastboot Pack doesn't work, where can I find it?
After downloading Fastboot Pack, I have to replace the boot.img in the file Android_Revolution_HD-One_X_8.1.0.zip with that one from Fastboot Pack, is that right?
Just install boot image for ARHD 8.1 that is included in thread of ARHD. This definitely boot image problem. I think you didn't flashed it. Just follow the instruction on first page.

You can only flash boot image in fastboot mode, not in CWM.

I'm having the same problem (I think). After successfully installing the boot.img for ARHD 8.1.x, I get a bootloop trying to enter recovery mode (or trying to boot normally).
Edit: I installed ClockworkMod Recovery Touch prior to this but never tested it... Maybe that has something to do with it.

You can use this tool instead of Fastboot ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1634786
And NO it is the other way round, You need to replace the boot.img in the tool by the one you get in ARHD and then run the tool. In this tool you will find a folder for boot.img which will contain one boot.img file already. Just replace that and run the tool. for HTC One X whenever you want to install a custom Rom, you need to do this.
A boot.img is normally a part of the custom Rom zip file which automatically gets flashed when you flash the rom. BUT this doesn't happen with One X due to some reason. So we need to flash the boot.img separately BEFORE flashing the ROM.
Let me know if the above helps by clickng Thanks

Hi.. What do you mean by getting a bootloop trying to enter recovery?
Which boot.img did you flash ? It should be the one which is inside the ARHD ROM zip file. So extract that and try following the steps in my reply above. If you still fail let me know the exact steps you took and issue and I will try to help.

When I try to boot into ClockworkMod Recovery (by selecting RECOVERY on the HBOOT screen), I get a boot loop. Same thing happens if I select REBOOT from the FASTBOOT screen.
Yes, I'm using the right boot.img. It's my understanding I have to install this before I can install the ROM.
To install it, I put my phone into fastboot USB mode, and ran:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
My One X is an S-ON device, btw.
Hi, it worked for me to flash the boot.img manually first
(boot.img for 8.1.x
S-ON devices can't flash boot.img in recovery, so you need to flash it manually before flashing ROM

My One X is S-Off.

That's what I did, but I got a boot loop.
Where can I find a copy of the default boot.img? Or is there another way to restore my system to normal so I can try again?
Edit: Also, are there different boot.img's for different firmware versions?
Hi,
because the original thread with the boot.img has been moved/edited, I upped it for You:

Ohh sorry I assumed your One X is S-OFF, you definitely need to do that FIRST, before going ahead with this flashing business. There is an awesome tool by hasoon2000 for doing this, which you can find here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604439
Just use the above tool to S-OFF your device, flash the recovery and then follow the steps I have given before. If you need more help with S-OFF let me know and I will provide detailed instructions for doing that.

ARHD 9
I just installed ARHD 9 and followed the instructions but now when it boots up it flashes onto the homescreen for a few seconds and then reboots, does anyone have a fix? i dont have a back up either
I think fastboot erase cache might be useful.
Every ROM requires (and is packaged with) a boot.img, you need to flash the ROM and you need to flash the associated boot.img.
If you get bootloops, make sure you have flashed the correct boot.img.
If the ROM reboots after it's started, make sure you superwiped when changing bases.
Basically, do all of the steps in the instructions, without missing out any of the steps.

I have faced that issue in the past. Just flash again, follow the steps I have given before. Remember to clear the cache at the beginning, and flash the boot img that you get inside the ROM you are flashing i.e. the one inside ARHD 9. Also, before you flash the ROM, wipe data (NOT SDCARD) and dalvik cache as well.

Hi, after attempting to flash a custom ROM to my phone I'm experiencing a big problem, the phone will not boot past the HTC screen. This is obviously very frustrating as the phone is pretty much rendered useless.
I am able to get into the HBOOT menu by holding the Power button and Volume Down and from there am able to select Recovery and enter the ClockWork Mod recovery screens. As you can tell I'm a 100% noob and I really just want to revert my phone to a working state. My network is Vodafone UK. I can't find an RUU above version 3.13 which is apparently what I have (so it tries updating 3.13 to 3.13 and obviously fails).
Any help on getting my phone to work again would be very very appreciated, thanks.

Download a ROM onto your computer, connect to your phone in recovery, mount the sdcard, move the ROM from your computer onto your phone's sdcard, and flash from recovery. No need for RUU.
Dont forget to wipe.
wipe data/factory reset and format all partitions (except sd card) from recovery.
Go to bananagranolas link in her signature, you'll find everything you need there.
Thanks a lot for your help! I was attempting to flash the JellyTime ROM which I understand must have failed to result in my phone not booting properly. Should I flash a stock ROM or will any ROM suffice?

As long as you are S-OFF and have a custom recovery (CMW or 4EXT) you are able to flash any custom rom you like. Just make sure that you make a full wipe before the flashing (wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, format system or in 4ext recovery just choose format all partitions except sdcard).
That should leave you up and running again.
Okay great!
I used the HTCDev tools to unlock my boot loader which I understand is different to S-OFF? Could that be while the ROM flashing failed originally?
EDIT: Upon trying to flash the JellyTime AKOP Rom I get a message saying install from SD card complete but it's still stuck at the HTC screen...

If you have an unlocked bootloder, then you have to flash the rom (previous full wipe of course) then reboot bootloader (from advanced options in CWM) and then in fastboot (you should see fastboot usb in red in the phone when plugged to the pc) you have to flash the boot.img inside the rom zip folder.
Extract that file only (not the whole rom) and from a cmd session or terminal as root (located where the boot.img file is) type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Once that is done (you will get OKAY. finished near the bottom) you can reboot normally by typing in cmd fastboot reboot or choosing reboot from hboot.
My bootloader now says RELOCKED, how can I unlock it again? (I'm really sorry about this)

Use the token HTC sent you when u unlocked it. and typing in cmd the fastboot unlock command.

EDIT: well, don't I feel stupid. I knew full well from reading that your phone wasn't working, but posted a link to an app. Just not paying attention. Sorry about that.
VBQ24,
You can go back to stock by flashing a stock RUU from your PC.
(Edit: You should relock your bootloader first. you can do so from Hboot. There's an option that says relock bootloader or something like that)
The version of the RUU should be equal or greater to the version that came with your phone. Try this v3.13
However, if you want to flash a custom ROM:
You need to downgrade your device first, get s-off and root, then flash a custom ROM
You need to use the Advanced Ace Hack Kit (AAHK), get it from here.
Make sure to read the manual (called 'effin manual) word by word. There are instructions on how to downgrade.
Follow the instructions, and if you have any questions, ask here.

1. Did you flash the boot.img? Instructions below.
- Extract boot.img from zip file
- Flash the boot.img manually via "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
2. Suggest you start off with ICS rom.
Recommend ARHD 9.7.2, which is a very stable and bug free ROM for me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562603
Download the version : Android Revolution HD 9.7.2 Ice Cream Sandwich
Remember to flash the boot.img, do a super wipe, install ROM, clear cache & Dalvik cache.
Usually I use the stock rom option to avoid bugs associated with tweaks integration.
I can only guess you've done something wrong or missed a step. Try again from scratch, redownload the boot.img, etc.
Drop into fastboot and do:
fastboot getvar version-main
That will tell you which RUU or ROM backup you need to return to stock.

check if your hboot is compatible with boot.img with CM10 rom! If it is not compatible with your hboot it will not start. You will be stuck in htc logg.
reason that it does not start.
First. Wrong boot img for your custom rom or hboot version
2nd Not compatible with your hboot
3rd unformatted delvik cache
4th too old or too new hboot for the custom rom you chose.
Some developers write the hboot version you need for operating system to work.
It's not just root and flashing roms.
it's also what hboot version that works with the custom rom or the boot.img for the custom rom
i recommand that you go to this site and read carefully and how to check your Hboot and CID.
Check your CID for compatibility for updateing hboot for newer roms later on IF you want update hboot:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32760072&postcount=29305
If you do this, there no returning back to your older hboot and maybe not supported older custom roms with jellybean ICS roms.
Check out zedomax "Max Lee" @ www.onexroot.com ! He has many guides of rooting, installing roms and testing roms.
Good luck

I don't get it. Why on earth are you flashing that boot.img?? You need to flash the rom you are trying to flash boot.img.....That image is just for the Inspire 4G and has nothing to do with any of the roms you flashed.
S-ON and Unlock bootloader are two different things. S-OFF does not require to have an unlocked bootloader....Being S-ON is fine if you unlock the bootloader.

HAHA, I had a feeling I did not understand what boot.img you were talking about.
So I further investigated the zips that a custom ROM provides, and I notice the boot.img in the root of each ZIP. So I flashed that... guess what... it works quite simple

I flashed boot.img via fastboot but when I select recovery, A white screen with HTC shows and after a few seconds, black screen occurs. I know screen is on however. I dont know what to do. The bootloader says unlocked but it says
S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.00.0029
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.14.04.28_M
eMMC-boot
The steps that I did was.
1. I unlocked the bootloader via HTCDev. It gave me error so I updated via RUU manually through fastboot.
2. After that, I was able to unlock the bootloader via HTCDev.
3. I followed this (http://www.teamandroid.com/2013/04/...android-422-jellytime-jelly-bean-rom-guide/2/) to flash method to Jelly-time on DHD. But when I flashed boot.img via fastboot cmd, it does not go to Recovery, it only shows phone with exclamation mark. If I reboot the phone, it shows white HTC screen and then black black screen. Please help me what to do. After unlocking via HTCDev, I didn't intall CWM, I though flashing boot.img is actually installing CWN :'|
Thanks a LOT in advance

That is the issue, that you didn't flash the rom. You need a custom recovery to flash the rom first and then the boot.img. You just flash a boot.img file from a different rom without flashing the rom itself.
Boot into fastboot usb and then flash recovery. You can use the guide or the tools in my signature to do that or just flash it manually. Then, flash the rom in recovery and just then fastboot flash the boot.img.

I did use your guides to work it up. I flashed recovery via fastboot and flashed the ROM (along with gapps). It is working. However, I fastboot flashed boot.img of the same ROM BEFORE flashing recovery and hence before flash ROM. However it is working so all good
Thanks a lot

DHD Wont Boot after Custom ROM
HI,
OK...
I have an S-ON DHD with unlocked bootloader and decided to upgrade the android version.
Decided I'd start with 5.1.1 (cm-12.1-20150509-UNOFFICIAL-ace).
I have TWRP (openrecovery-TWRP-ace-2.8.1.2-unofficial) installed as recovery manager.
So installed the ROM but phone would not boot - stayed on HTC screen.
Looking for the cause I find that I need to flash flash boot.img of the ROM I want to use as it is S-ON.
BUT - to do so I need to use fastboot and at this stage I can only get into recovery and fastboot devices shows no devices hence I can't issue :
fastboot flash boot my.img
I think I should have kept a recovery of the original ROM but .... what could possibly go wrong ....
So bottom line I have a phone that won't boot but can get into recovery.
Any and all suggestions gratefully accepted
Cheers,
Paul

Ok - thanks 4 your help everyone ....
Ok the issue related to the fact that the laptop(s) I were using both (Win10) somehow got stuffed up by the HTC Diagnostic drivers which caused one of the laptops to blue screen (Driver Power State Failure error) on a restart and the other to hang.
Once I restarted successfully the adb and fastboot devices re-appeared and I simply flash booted the boot.img from my android 5 rom and all now good

Hi. I'm aware that this has probably been asked a few times before but I have done some reading and tried a few things but to no avail.
Here's what my phone says in hboot:
***UNLOCKED***
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT 2.00.0029
I followed the instructions on HTCDEV (with getting that token and stuff..), then I download Jellytime R11 and Android Revolution, dropped then onto my SD, opened Clockwork Recovery (version 2.5.1.2), wiped everything I should have, installed the zips and both times it hangs on the HTC splash screen.
I used EasyAceRootTool at one stage, where I did that flashing of a boot.img.
While installing in CWR I don't get any error messages, and with Revolution, I went through the GUI fine (where you choose which apps to install etc.)
It's just when I go to reboot, it hangs.
Not sure if it's relevant, but I'm on T-Mobile UK.
Thanks in advance for your help guys, I'd love to get this sorted, I've only just been given this phone.
Each time you flash a ROM, you need to flash the boot.img.

I think my problem is this.
When I wipe everything and install the ROM, I can't get back into HBOOT, I'm stuck in CWM, I go to Advanced -> Recovery Boot and it stays in CWM, I go to Go Back and it stays in CWM.. The only way I can get back to HBOOT (to get into fastboot) is to take the battery out, which I'm guessing then messes up the ROM I've just flashed.
I've just it in perfect order, so installed zip then flashed the boot.img and I'm still stuck on the splash screen. It's been ten minutes now.
What exact process are you using?
I've just done it!
I had an old version of CWM on my sdcard from a previous flash on a different phone. I thought it would have updated it (I'm sure it said it did..) but I just manually did so and then it had a different skin and I went through the process again and it worked.
