Appreciated any help I can get here.
I'm attempting to flash my first custom ROM by following the instructions here (http://drippler.com/updates/share/how-unlock-root-install-custom-rom-your-htc-one-x).I've got to point 5 and instead of copying the zip file and boot.img to my phone I stupidly went and carried out the 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' command first. The result is the phone just hangs on the boot screen.
I can get back into recovery OK, but after a couple of hours searching I'm struggling to see how I can resolve this. I have tried a full restore from recovery but it didn't work.
I assume I have to put the boot.img and ROM zip file back on the phone and repeat the process. I cannot find a way to enable me to do this as I cant seem to mount the phone on the PC.
Thanks in advance.
You can mount the sdcard as a usb mass storage device inside the recovery. What recovery do you have ?
You flashed the new boot.img already ? All you have to do is enter the recovery and perform a full wipe before you install the new rom. Of the rom is not on the phone sd you mount it first and copy the rom over. Then continue to install it

I have Clockmod v5.8.1.8
No I didn't transfer the boot.img file from the new ROM to the phone. I just typed 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' into the command prompt. The new boot.img file was in the fastboot folder.

Flash the above recovery, you have an old one that does not support usb mass storage !
Ow and the boot.img does not have to be on the phone, only the rom.zip to install it. The boot.img file is only flashed in fastboot as you did. No need to do anything else.
When you enter the new recovery you go to
MOUNTS & STORAGE - mount as mass storage device (most bottom option)

OK, thank you. New recovery installed, zip file transferred. Wipe cache partition & Wipe Dalvik Cache completed. Install from zip file completed. Re-boot and it still hangs.
I'm using the CM10 nightly from 17/2/2013 if this presents a problem at all?
I've also tried 'fastboot erase cache', which has no effect either.
Flash this boot.img
http://db.tt/uDdWaAtH
Also wipe everything ! Also data factory reset and under mounts and storage - format cache,data,system
Otherwise it will not boot again

Appreciate you taking time to help me out. Thank you. Were still not there though, it's still hanging on the first boot screen.
The CM10 zip file is only 171MB which seems awfully small to me. I'm currently downloading the Viper Rom 3.3.7 which is 625MB. Could this be part of the issue? Am I trying to flash just an update and not full ROM?
Nope, AOSP ROMs are small in size. The zip you have is legitimate full ROM.

Thank you, that's that theory out of the window, I think this bloody phone may follow it !
Try this.....
First in recovery do
Wipe data factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced - wipe dalvik cache
Mounts and storage - format cache, data, system
Then install the rom.zip, dont reboot and install directly the gapps.zip
Then you type
Adb reboot bootloader
Flash the boot.img again (for cm10 the modded one)
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot reboot
*fingers crossed*

Nice you tot it sorted ! :thumbup:

Also you probably want to flash a new recovery as well. Clockwork recovery has a habit of failing on one x phones. TWRP is currently the most stable recovery for One X.

No problem. I had issues with CWM failing to flash correctly on the One x. I have had no problems with TWRP. I have heard dozens of complaints about CWM in a few different phones especially the One x.

Sorry, but, well couldnt do so- that is, without asking you all. Please, tell me if i am doing it right or not-
1 .Flash the kernel for cm9 by-
Boot to bootloader> Fastboot> fastboot flash boot boot.img> fastboot erase cache.
2. In recovery, wipe cache. Flash cm9 by selecting install zip from sd card.
Is this right? Let me know. And, also, what do i need to wipe exacxtly?? Cache, and __?
Thanks!
I flashed cm9 for the PrimoC (Virgin Mobile) One V yesterday, and this is what I did.
Get to recovery
Wipe data
Wipe cache
flash ROM zip in recovery
flash GApps in recovery (if applicable)
Boot into fastboot (Don't boot normally)
Flash the boot image via computer/command prompt (Google "flashing boot image one v" and there should be a complete tutorial somewhere in results)
Boot normally.
Done.
If this doesn't work/things are broken, restore to a backup via recovery, wipe data/cache, flash the ROM and GApps, but DON'T flash the boot.img via computer, and boot normally. I had to do that once, don't know the reason why the boot.img provided separately didn't work.
Hopefully this helped!
boot into bootloader
then select fasboot
then type fastboot flash boot boot. img
then head towards recovery
wipe cache/data/dalvik
then select choose zip from sd card
navigate to the file select it then press yes when prompted
thats it
reboot
can't explain better than this

all of you are doing this thing wrong and then you are complaining that the phone doesn't boot...
INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO PROPERLY FLASH A ROM:
1. FLASH THE KERNEL! (you know how);
2. The phone will now boot and if you had stock, there is a chance that it will stay on Htc Logo screen;
3. Now you need to go into the recovery, either by pressing Vol down + Power to go into the bootloader and from there to recovery OR by connecting your phone to your pc and in CMD type:
Code:
adb shell
reboot recovery
4. You've flashed the kernel correctly, now you need to wipe everything.
5. Wipe:
Code:
Cache
Dalvik-Cache
Factory Reset (if you use TWRP)
System
6. Now choose to install your desired rom.
7. After it is finished, reboot your phone. If it boots correctly, reboot your phone into recovery once more.
8. Wipe DALVIK-CACHE.
9. Flash GAPPS.
10. Reboot and enjoy.
Flashing the rom + gapps and then kernel is like making a car without the engine and then after the car looks cool and it's done, you put the engine on the top of it.
Hi,
This is the first time i'm installing a custom rom on my One X and every rom I tried takes too long (15min) to boot up and then i actually give up and try something else
I've tried:
CM10
ICJ 1.6
and some others but they keep getting stuck at htc logo screen
Can somebody help me out and tell me what i'm doing wrong?
This is what I do:
I've rooted and unlocked bootloader
1) go into fastboot
2) flash boot.img
3) go to recovery
4) wipe cache and dalvik cache
5) install rom with recovery
6) wipe cache and dalvik cache
7) install gapps
8) wipe cache and dalvik cache
9) reboot
That is the procedure i saw on many threads and sites.
Problems?:
One thing i noticed was that when going to HBOOT I get the following: failed to open usb master mode
Roms that did work
Android Revolution HD 18.1 and 9.8, I think that's because of the aroma installer and I don't have to do anything
But Android Revolution HD worked very slow and laggy for some reason...
Any help is greatly appreciated. Have been searching everywhere for 2 days know and can't figure it out
Boot.img needs to be flashed after you install the ROM.
Otherwise the ROM will flash over the Boot.img (atleast I think thats how it works)
By the way, no ROM would take 15 minutes to boot, if it does you're in a bootloop.

I don't know where you got the instructions from, but they're horribly wrong and overly redundant.
This is what you should do when flashing a new rom:
1. Boot to recovery
2. Wipe data/factory reset
3. Flash rom and gapps (if necessary)
4. Reboot into fastboot (adb reboot bootloader)
5. Flash boot.img
6. fastboot erase cache (if you're having problems, usually unnecessary)
That's all. For upgrading the same rom (say, to a newer version), you can skip step 2.

That only applies to non-HTC phones or HTC phones with s-off. Phones with s-on like the HOX will not flash boot.img via recovery, only fastboot. Other phones have their boot.img flashed via recovery directly, skipping the fastboot bit as it is redundant.
1st: wrong forum, you have to post that in Q/A
2nd: you dont have to flash the boot.img after ROM, the ROM cant overflash it because we dont have s-off yet
3rd: are you sure you are using the right kernel (boot.img) for the ROMs you are trying to flash. After the hboot updates (JB) we got some changes on what you can flash and what not.

First of all Sorry for posting in the wrong forum and thankyou for the replies.
I have tried the things you guys said and it still didn't work
the boot.img i use are the ones included in the zip.
EDIT:
Got it working with ICJ:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0j_sESAIds&feature=youtu.be
And you are sure that you can use that specific ROM with your curent firmware ? Is your hboot 1.31 and above (did you perform the JB OTA) ?
Sent from my EndeavorU using xda premium
sometimes you also need to fastboot erase cache because at sense roms it can help...try that if it won't work did you flashed any mods after that?

No i'm not sure (will search how I can find out), yes I have hboot 1.31, yes I have performed JB OTA.
I have also done fastboot clear cache
If you want to use CM10 on a JB hboot you need a modified boot.img file
http://db.tt/uDdWaAtH
With this one and a full wipe it will boot fine
The failed to open usb master error is due to the cable that is connected to the pc, plug it off and try it again. The error will be gone

From what i've noticed on my HTC One X the steps to install ROMS on it is the same but in a pattern!
1)Boot recovery and install the rom THEN the gapps
2)Factory Data Reset (If coming from a sense rom to a AOKP/AOSP(cyanogenmod for example)
3)reboot in fastboot then flash the boot image.
That should be all.
If it's a sense rom your flashing then the rom is corrupted.

I've tried lots and lots of things for hours now and I've still been stuck in the boot screen of htc for the past 4 hours. And yes, I've googled so much and tried all solutions that people have had, and it's still not working.
I have tried wiping, installing ROM, go into recovery, fastboot flash boot boot.img, reboot and it hasn't worked for me.
I've tried both TWRP and CWM to install my ROM. I have a backup in TWRP that I did before it derped, but it doesn't turn my phone into working state again.
The ROM I'm trying to activate is the Cyanogen Mod 10.1 from the weekly link.
Only once I managed to get the Cyanogen boot screen (it got stuck there too), but after flashing my boot.img it disappeared. I tried updating my hboot with something I downloaded.
What have I done wrong? After reading all those threads, I'm totally clueless.
What is your hboot number ?

Oke do this
If you have cwm 5.8.4.0 (otherwise flash it to follow these steps)
Enter the recovery and perform a full wipe
Data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Mounts and storage-format cache,data,system
Advanced-wipe dalvik cache
install the CM10.1.zip (do not reboot after)
install gapps (do not reboot after)
Then type in the fastboot window :
Adb reboot bootloader
Flash the boot.img file from the rom
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot reboot !
Fingers crossed

I followed your steps so precisely... but it didn't work Also I think I've done something close to this process before and had no success.
What you did differently though, I never installed gapps, and I didn't know that you can wipe dalvik cache in CWM.
What I had to do during your method though was go into mount SD storage and insert a fresh copy of both the gapps and CM10.1.
If you need any more information I'd gladly provide them as quick as possible, I'll be refreshing this thread constantly
Try my steps again but this time use a completely different rom. Try a standard sense base rom. Just to check if its booting ! Ow and you can leave the step for gapps away. And you can choose to do the boot.img thing first and then the recovery part.
This one maybe

If it does not boot up we are missing something somewhere ... You are actually flashing the boot.img from the rom correctly ....also flash the boot.img from the rom .... Its inside the rom.zip

I downloaded ViperX_2.6.0 instead (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1745176), since it was pretty much done right before you added the suggestion. The guide there tells me to flash the boot first then install the rom, but I did the rom first. IT WORKED! Thought it was stuck in the bootscreen again haha. I got to the unlock screen, but after unlocking all I saw was the HTC symbol. I then held the power button and pressed restart. Same thing after restart. After unlocking, all I see is a white screen with the HTC symbol in the middle. Can only lock the phone :/ Is it me or the ROM?
Or the phone ! Strange ..... But you must flash a JB rom to check if your bootloader supports it. The viper x 2.6 is an old ics one and runs on any hboot.
Actually is doesn't matter what you do first ..... It works both ways.
Test the bugX Rom. Flash the boot.img that is inside the bugX.zip copy it out to the fastboot folder and flash it directly from there. Make sure to full wipe again and install the rom .....I don't know what else....doing it like this for months and never failed.

But now, how do I go and fix CM10.1? I'm thinking I might have downloaded the wrong CM10.1 file since it was only 171MB and this ROM is around the 600MB range.

Go into the recovery and mount the sdcard as a usb device in mounts and storage
Download this file and install it.
http://db.tt/u5FF3jgi
Wipe cache and dalvik cache before install.....and did you also flash the boot.img ?
All steps for cm10.1 :
Perform a full wipe in the recovery
Factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced-wipe dalvik cache
Mounts and storage-format cache,data,system
Then install the CM10.1 rom, install gapps, install the vendors file
Then open the command window on the pc and type
Adb reboot bootloader
Then flash the boot.img from the CM10.1
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot reboot
Should do it ! :thumbup:
no i didnt flash the boot.img .. u mean in the zip file their is a boot.img file how toflash it?
How do i flash it with hasoon toolkit i know what i did wrong i didn't flash the boot.img
Put the boot.img in the right dir of the toolkit and flash it with that. I never used toolkits. Always direct manual flash
And also install the vendors otherwise is it will also not boot !

Hi All,
I've just tried to root my htc one x (international). using the All in one toolkit V3.0 [7-16-2013
I went through step 1 to 5 (unlock bootloader) with no problems. I perm rooted and flashed TWRP but now I'm stuck!
-On the bootloader screen, I select Hboot > recovery.
-It loads the 'teamwin' screen and I see all options (install wipe etc)
-Problem is that the touch screen stops working. When I hit the power button it just tells me to 'swipe to unlock' which doesn;t work either.
I searched for solutions online but cant find any. Anyone got suggestions? I hope I've provided sufficient information.
Thanks
Search for a thread with philz recovery, touch not working is because of an update that HTC put out.
Try and flash philz recovery
And more important.. make a nandroid backup! It will safe you so much hassle

Thanks a lot Stefan0vic. Sorry if this is a dumb question but should I download Philz software and then Flash it using the 'custom ROM' option in the all in one kit?
No you probably need to rename the file to recovery.img and flash it just like you did with twrp.
Great, I'm gonna try it out tonight, thanks a million guys.
Good luck!

Gentlemen, it worked! Thank you so much!!
Always good to hear that !
Hey Guys, has any of you got experience with installing roms through Philz?
Firsly I tried Cyanogenmod and although I got it to boot, it keeps crashing when I also install GAPPS (literraly unusable as I keep getting the error (unfortunately the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped).
I therefore decided to give Viper a go, I cleared all cache/reset to factory reset. First I flashed the boot.img from viper through the all in kit ( I connect my phone to laptop in bootloader > Flash Custom rom). Then I reset into bootloader and boot philz .img so I can get back into philz < am I doing something wrong here? I cant think of another way to do it!
From Philz, I install the viper zip file. It starts up the wizard, but then halfway through installing it restarts the phone and all I see is the HTC one X loading screen.
I've now wiped it again and installed cyanogenmod without GAPPS for the time being, but I cant download apps as I dont have the playstore.
Any advise on how to fix either CM or Viper would be appreciated. Again, I did search but couldnt find any help on the combination of Philz and any of these 2 customer ROMS.
your help is much appreciated!!
Viper rom :
Flash the boot.img !
Inside recovery :
Factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced-wipe dalvik cache
Mounts&storage-format cache,data,system
Then install zip from sdcard and choose the viper x rom.zip
If the installer stops halfway it could be a bad rom.zip download !

Thanks Hofs. When I flash the boot.img from the viper download package, it doesn't seem to bring me into any kind of recovery screen? Am I missing something?
Flashing the boot.img is done with the phone in the bootloader.
Try this :
Put the phone in the bootloader, copy the boot.img to the folder on the pc that contains the fastboot.exe file !
Then hold down shift and click the right mouse button while pointing in the folder with the fastboot.exe file.
Then select :
Open command window here
Then type there :
Fastboot flash boot boot.img (enter)
Fastboot erase cache (enter)
Then enter the recovery and do all steps i posted earlier
Right.. I think I'm missing one vital piece here
copy the boot.img to the folder on the pc that contains the fastboot.exe file

I don't have such a folder? Should I install the fastboot application first? Any chance you can give me a high level overview of how to use it? So far I've done everything using Philz and the All in one toolkit for the one X..

The all in one toolkit must have a folder with the fastboot file otherwise it can't work. Look inside those subfolders and do all steps i wrote from there
Ok there seems to be a fastboot.exe in the data folder of the all in one. I shall try this later when I get home. Thanks again chief!
Ok so installed the ROM, i can see the viper custom wallpaper but the touchscreen has stopped working again any ideas?
Sure you flashed this one

Feeling like a right idiot! I used an outdated link from a video tutorial. All working now!! Thanks SO much again Mr hofs much appreciated!!
No problem ! You learned and tried and now it works :thumbup:
