So, I was relocking my HOX in order to get the OTA JB update from carrier (H3G) in order to use the new Viper ROM.
All went well and managed this. Got re rotted and installed CWM ans Super SU.
However, I read that before installing the JB Viper ROM it was important to do a full wipe. Using CWM i did this. Specifically I did the wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache and format system.
Now my phone is stuck on the white HTC screen. Please help.
Thanks
You formatted system, which basically wiped the rom. Reflash and don't format system.

And don't forget to flash the boot.img file !
Thanks for the quick response and apologies for the basic and wrongly termed questions. Just panicking a little.
How do i get the ROM and boot.img on to the fone? Because it sticks at the white screen the pc doesn't seem to detect it.
Last time i used a stock RUU and followed that process. Will i be able to flash the new Viper ROM instead?
thanks
The boot.img is supposed to be flashed from the PC. To get the Rom into the phone you need to go back to clockworkmod, go into mounts and storage and press the mount usb thing
Edit - to flash the boot.img find a thread about fastboot. Don't worry you'll get there
To get the ROM on the phone boot into cwm and GOTO mounts & storage
Then mount USB storage
It should now be detected as a drive on your PC and you can copy the ROM back over

Thanks. I did as you guys suggested and was able to install the Viper ROM (used the tweaked stock kernel as recommended in the download).
So have a ROM now but I have no service with my carrier and when I try to connect to wifi it says 'error'. Have I missed or done something wrong?
Cheers

Got it resolved. I had used the tweaked kernel and assumed that this was not standard, so when asked about which kernel i was using i said it wasn't the viper one.
So i went back to basics and used the kernel that came with the ROM zip and just flashed both. Working fine now. The only question is whether I could have used the tweaked kernel and answered yes to using the viper version?
Thanks for your help. Felt like I have learned a fair bit in the last 12 hours though!
Well if you flashed a different custom kernel you can answer that with the question so it won't load the stock modules but backs up the custom modules from the custom kernel. This way it won't mess up functionality.
When you use a boot.img without it proper modules it can mess up those things you experienced. Hope i make my self clear

Hello! I need help on my G2 that doesnt want to flash any roms at all. When i go into Rom Manager and download a rom and go install it, it finish and it boots up but it just stays on the first HTC logo. I leave it there for more then ten minutes relizing the in messed up. So i have to go back into recovery(manualy) and wipe all data and cache and then i flash the Virtuous Rom(because i downloaded it to the sdcard) and it boots up. Also when i try to flash the mods to the rom and it also fail and i have to do the same procedure again and again everytime i try to flash a rom or backup. What should i do? Oh i also have S-OFF if that helps.
have you tried manually downloading and flashing another ROM through recovery?
Also, are you doing full wipes when trying to flash the new ROMs?

Not a different recovery..the same way you flashed that rom is the same way you can flash others..if you downloaded rom through rom manager you can find it in that folder which is on your sd card called clockworkmod

Not a different recovery. Just make sure that your CWM recovery is the latest version. Download a ROM of your choice from the Dev section via your computer, transfer to your SDcard, and flash manually from your phone (not using ROM manager). Do a cache/dalvik cache/full data wipe. Then flash the ROM and reboot.
ROM manager can often have issues with bad downloads that lead to bad flashes. Flashing manually can be a way to troubleshoot and take a potential bad step out of the equation.

You can download roms from dev section from your device as well.
As far as the op..what do you mean you downloaded from a youtube video and you don't trust people who past roms? If you don't trust people don't mess with it. The devs here aren't going to brick you phone..that's a mistake on your end or you not paying attention to what you were flashing

Correct me if I'm wrong but if i remember correctly it is extremely difficult to brick ones phone. The worst possible thing that could happen is if your phone some how died during a flash half way through. You can easily boot into bootloader, enter recovery and attempt to do it again.
With CWM you can mount the sd card in the mounts and storage settings so if you forgot or somehow deleted the Rom Zip from your card you can easily and safely access your card using CWM
i'm having the same issue
i have the phone rooted, s-off, and hboot installed
i'll boot into rom manager, wipe the data/cache, install the rom i want, reboot device... i get the white htc screen for about 5 seconds and then the phone restarts.
when it restarts, i get the white htc screen and then it boots into rom manager
what could be causing this? i had my previous g2 rooted and never had these issues when i was flashing roms
Noob question, again.
I successfully rooted my One V, GSM. I want to flash this custom ROM

What kernel i should i use, or do i need to flash kernel at all? And does that ROM have languages, i want to use finnish. More noob questions: In TWRP, do i make a nandroid backup, and is that i can flash the stock ROM if i am not happy with custom ROMs?
For Suprimo ROM,use this kernel
boot-TK-USB-201212251804.img from
http://www.mediafire.com/?e1chs7tzcsstc.
Its the sense kernel,works with sense ROMs.
Yes,flash the TWRP recovery and make a backup of the stock ROM before flashing anything.you can restore it whenever you like.
And yes,you will have to flash the kernel or your custom ROM won't boot.

And i selected "BACKUP" on TWRP, and backed up System, Boot and Data, Recovery and cache, is that enough, can i now proceed to flashing custom ROM and kernel? Does it matter what order i do it, first kernel or custom rom? Sorry for stupid questions but i am quite nervous so i need to confirm that do i do stuff correct, my first Android phone and now cannot afford a new so don't want to brick it! =)
And can i use Hasoon2000's All In One kit or is this done in TWRP to flash kernel, and how i backup the original kernel, or is it even possible? As you can see i am a quite big noob.. It's better to ask than to be sorry, right? So that should be a good kernel for this? Should i be in recovery mode, in bootloader or what if i use the All In One kit?
I prefer flashing kernel before flashing ROMs.the boot.img is backed up.if you open the backup,you will find the boot.img.
Yes,the toolkit will flash the kernel.

So if i did backup those things what i said in earlier post, should i be fine? System, boot, cache, data, recovery are backuped in TWRP using the "Backup" menu.
Should i be in bootloader when i flash the kernel?
E: Does it take long to get forward from the boot screen (thats coming after that HTC queitly brilliant logo), now my phone is in this text which says "htc Desire HD" and "beats audio" in bottom of screen, i did flash the kernel.
E2: Never mind, it just took time, first time always bit slow huh? I find this funny that when i boot my phone i get "HTC Desire HD" text, although it is One V. Now just waiting that it unlocks my SIM card and sets up my phone. Glad to see all went fine. =)
Help, I will describe the following and any help I would love. I have the PRIMOC VM usa HTC ONE V.
Using Hasoon2000's All in one toolkit I have successfully Unlocked my phone, flashed TWRP recover 2.4.4, got root, and made a backup.
I then continue on to wipe cache and system and Factory reset to prepare to install ANY ROM. When I try to install the rom every time it just says Error in /sdcard/...[wherever rom is] (Status 1) FAILED
So then I proceed to restore my backup (this is why you always make a backup) and that works fine
Does the "(Status 1)" mean anything important?
I thought this was happening because I was running the newer radio so I used the RUU tool and now am using the good radio (not 0928) But this did not fix anything. This same thing happens over again. I have checked to make sure and I do have full root privileges.
I then tried to flash boot.img first and jmz kernel flashed successfully, but no rom will flash.
Why will NO ROM install?
I feel like I am missing something obvious but can't figure it out.
Also, whenever I do the factory restore it goes through all the process then fails when trying to wipe sd:ext , but my card is not partitioned. <I didn't know if that would be any help>
I am not a complete newb at all of this (running lg optimus for years- just new to the htc methods)
NEED Help please...
Can anyone help me out with this?
I have not made any progress since yesterday. I am successful at flashing kernels, I have flashed the boot.img of the sic kernel, but on both kernels I have no WiFi with the stock ROM.
So I either need to find the stock boot.img or have help flashing a ROM that fails everytime.
When every instruction says "Extract ROM" that is only to pull out the boot.img right, we don't flash an extracted package you flash exactly what you downloaded right?

Hi Obeezy562,
my advice is to use the recovery program CMW or TWRP to re-format your external SD card. Then follow the normal instrutions and install the rom from zip using your recovery program. If you still have the same issue just let me know and I'll ponder longer.

Ok, so tonight I will reformat my sdcard with TWRP then try to install the ROM. I tried the CWM recovery, but it was not touch based and did not respond to the power button as the OK, only the volume rocker worked.
I will try CWM recovery if someone can provide a link to the latest one, perhaps I was using an old one.
Twrp 2.4.4 I've also had issues with flashing some roms then downgraded to Twrp 2.2.0 and everything has been well since

I can add that twrp 2.4 does have some issues. I use a cwm I found on google somewhere and if works just fine.

Hi All,
Yesterday I took my Tegra 3 (International) One X back to Stock ICS using RUU. Everything went smoothly after I relocked my bootloader and ran the RUU.
Then I proceeded to get all the OTA updates until I had JellyBean (3.14.707.24) with no further updates pending. Yay for Jellybean! The next thing I did was install CWM recovery and perform a nandroid backup (which didn't seem to restore later, although was created correctly).
At this point, I thought I would try using a CM10 rom to remove sense and I went ahead and installed it, flashing over the boot.img as one normally would, but it wouldn't boot. I later discovered that I needed a modded-boot.img (for new hboot 1.36), but not before I tried running the 3.14.707.24 RUU.
This RUU got stuck at sending.... and did not finish. I didn't leave it more than 20 minutes and tried twice. I also tried my ICS RUU to no avail.
Right now I have no Rom installed (from what I can tell), but I have full fastboot access and would like to know how I should proceed:
1) should I install the CM10 rom again with proper modded-boot.img (for hboot 1.36) and see if it boots? That would at least get me functional.
2) should I try another copy of the RUU for 3.14.707.24 JB? (i found one)
3) should I try a rom like Android Revolution HD which is OK to work with my new HBoot 1.36?
I don't want to do too much too fast since I know what I've done, and used to be really into this. The phone has been sitting a while since I upgraded my device and I'd like to get it working for travelling purposes. I'd be happy with a Stock Rom at this point...
Thanks for any willingness to help me

Ofcourse if you want CM flash the boot.img that is made for CM..And then flash .zip file..And ofcourse after flashing use
"fastboot erase cache"
Sometimes if you dont clear cache your phone won't boot..

As you already said the old boot.img wont work with the new hboot. Just install cm10.1 as usually. Or any other JB Rom that is out there for the One X.

I'll try this later when I have the time. Thanks to everyone who responded. I was nervous I was on the bad road. Seems I'm in healthy shape, just lacking a rom.
Two more questions:
1) Can I still revert to stock? If so, how since RUU seems to get stuck at sending and not actually restore?
2) Any idea why when I tried to restore my stock nandroid backup just after installing CWM (which backed up successfully) it would restore but not boot (hung on One splash screen)? Should I have to wait a seriously long time for it to boot (I never used to have to?)
Thanks in advance!

Hey guys. This is getting really frustrating. I was trying to find a custom kernel to use and so of course I made a backup. Backup is done, I go to flash kernel. Everything loads up, I think I'm golden. But to my surprise I can't connect to camera.
No big deal, I reboot to recovery restore backup and put my phone down to wait. Comeback later and my phone is stuck on white HTC logo not booting.
Do the button combination to restart in recovery and I go to wipe cache and dalvik thinking maybe that will help. Well it tells me it can't mount /system and I go to reboot after wiping and it says no OS is installed. Causing me to have to reflash whatever rom I was on(in this case it was Viper and the kernel I was trying to flash was elemental)
I am baffled as to why this is happening. Am I choosing the wrong partitions to backup?
I've had a lot of phones and I'm not new to TWRP or rooting and or S-Off for HTC devices. I am S-Off and bootloader is unlocked. Does anybody have any clues as to what the heck is going on?

Hey mate, camera has issues on new base with custom kernel. Has been mentioned many times in Viper thread. Might get fixed soon due to new kernel source release. Just use stock kernel until you have stable setup.
