My procedure in chronological order:
Flashed recovery TWRP 2.3
Wiped everything possible in the wipe-tab
Installed CM9/10 from zip on SD-card (zip contains META-INF, system and boot.img)
Flashed boot.img from the zip file CM9/10
Issued the command fastboot erase cache
Unplugged cable and reboot
What happens is that I am stuck at the HTC booting screen. I have been here for about 30-40 minutes. If I try any adb shell command I receive this error: - exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -. Clearly, something is not right here. I will not speculate because I lack the knowledge to do so. Any help is appreciated because I have been phone-less for a day now and it is getting irritating. Thanks!
Seems you did everything correctly.
Try to flash via ClockWorkMod recovery.

I just did the same procedure as before but with clockworkmod instead. Still hung at booting screen. I get the same error as before. Is root access a must? I have not done any exploit, only thing I have done is unlocked my boot loader at HTCDev.

Root should not be needed since most roms are rooted by default.
Did you flash gapps?

No, I have not. Maybe I should give it a try? Or is it not required? Should I not be able to start the phone without any gapps?
Do you by chance have any ROM you can recommend that works so I could try it out and exclude problems? Would very like to know if it is my phone or ROM that is buggy.
It should boot without them, but better to give it a try.
Ironically, I've been using CM10 for more than a month now and never had any problems booting.

If you have an hboot newer than 1.12 you need a different boot.img, check the bottom if the ROM OP.

I have hboot 1.3 or something I think. I downloaded the different builds at get.cm. Where can I get the boot.img if not the one in the zip file? Do you mean whichever thread that CM have posted themselves here on xda? Would you mind sending a link to where I can find the boot.img?

Thanks, but still a no go. What I did was take the modified boot from your link and the boot.img from the zip file, do the online converter as stickied on the forum, then did the procedure all again but this time I flashed the new boot.img I got from combining the old and the new boot.img. Still hangs at boot. Very annoying. I am currently using a modified stock ROM and I dislike it very much.
Hey,
I have exactly the same issue. I've unlocked my bootloader using the method as specified by htcdev.com. Then I flashed the newest CWM recovery. But if I flash any ROM, I'm stuck at its boot animation. However if I then unzip the boot.img from the ROM, and flash that (fastboot flash boot boot.img), my phone won't boot past HTC screen. Even erasing the cache didn't help (fastboot erase cache).
I've restored the stock ROM using the RUU, however during the process something went wrong and it formatted my sd-card. So I'm stuck with the stock ROM, without any applications or data.
Can anybody help me flash CM10?
My Hboot version is 1.36.0000
And I'm trying to flash the cm-10-20121210-NIGHTLY-endeavoru.zip ROM.
Thanks in advance

You cannot use the boot.img that comes with the zip out of the box if you have Hboot 1.36. What you have to do is repack it, taking the boot.img from the zip file and then a modified boot.img here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...postcount=9173 (thanks TToivanen), then as I understood it, repack it for instance here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1815607, download the repacked boot.img and flash that.
With that said, I could not get it running but it might be something wrong with my phone. Please try this out and tell me if it works or not so I may start to conclude where the error lies.

Sorry, but all I can say is that you did a mistake at some point.
Try installing again with full wipe and remember to wipe cache and dalvik.
You are referring to the official CM10 and not Trip's or any other builds right?

You're right, I forgot to do that. I does boot now, still at a loss though. Can't we downgrade our Hboot to a version in which we know that CM can be flashed?

Can you confirm that the boot.img flashes ok? (should say OKAY)
Also confirm that you have endeavoru and not evita.
Hey again..
I was hoping my first custom ROM flashing would be successful considering I've read plenty of threads on how to do it and were pretty careful, but that's not the case.
I tried to give Slim Bean a shot, downloaded Slim-endeavoru-3.1.0-OFFICIAL from their page, and Slim_Gapps along with it.
HBOOT is 1.39, CWM is 5.8.4.0
So I did just as instructed, booted into recovery, wiped data, formatted /system, and then flashed Slim Bean, and Gapps after that was done. When I reboot I just get stuck in the Slim Bean loading screen for a while without anything happening. Tried rebooting and re-flashing a couple of times doing the same procedure - but nothing. Can anyone help me out?

boot.img is in the Slim-endeavoru-3.1.0-OFFICIAL.zip file already so I thought if I flashed the whole zip it would flash the boot.img along with it, no?
No, you should flash boot.img via your computer.
Search in this forum how to do it.
Unfortunately in developer's tread for the ROM you choose it is not good explained...

Someone tell me if I am wrong but the reason you have to flash the boot.img separately is because we have not achieved S-OFF with the HTC One X which gives us unbridled access to everything.
Take the boot.img out of the rom '.zip' and put your phone into fastboot mode. Using the command line and fastboot type 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' obviously for this exact command to work the boot.img needs to be in the same folder as fastboot.exe. Otherwise just type the exact location of it.
Your phone should boot if everything else has been done perfectly.
I'll try that right away.

correct...!
Okay so I went into fastboot mode, shift-right click on where the fastboot folder on my PC is, opened command prompt (previously pasted the boot.img from Slim Bean to that folder), typed in fastboot flash boot boot.img, fastboot erase cache and fastboot reboot. After reboot I went straight into recovery, flashed the ROM and Gapps, rebooted and now it's stuck HTC's boot screen. :/
With what unzip program you extracted the boot.img?
Try with 7zip...
One more thing- if I remember correct you need to use special boot.img for using 4.1 or 4.2 roms, because they do not work with latest hboots 1.31-39.
Search for such boot.img.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
WinRAR. Okay, gonna try with 7zip.. Also, by extracting the boot.img from the zip you guys mean just to extract it or taking it out of the zip completely? Because I removed it from the zip entirely and flashed it via fastboot only.

You'll be fine with WinRAR. Check back on the forum thread page of the rom you downloaded and look for a md5 sum/number. Google MD5 checker or something to that effect and check whether the MD5 checks up. Could be that a few 1's and 0's are out of place.
My other concern is the rom you have flashed. SlimBean – not tried it, I'm guessing it's a light weight Jelly Bean yeah? Are you sure that you have the correct hboot version for Jelly Bean yet? You can't force update all HOX's to Jelly Bean yet.
EDIT: Missed a bit of your post – I'm not aware of the implications but I and many others have always just copied the boot.img not cut. Obviously if you cut it and it gets zipped back up the MD5 will definitely not match. Save yourself a the head ache and download the rom again to be 100%. Delete the old.
Please see here:

Okay, checked the MD5 sums and they indeed didn't match.. redownloaded again, and it matched since I didn't cut out the boot.img. I'll try again.
@jorjino can you just give me a really short insight (since I bugged you enough, lol) on what is that kernel supposed to do? And do I flash those modules from fastboot as well?
You have to download the newhboot.img from my previous post, rename it to boot.img and flash it via fastboot and cmd menu your PC. That's all. No more downloads or steps.

I needed fastboot files so i did a little research to find to different files.
1 had only 3 files in the folder(ckpv5's tutorial)
& the other had 6 files(cybervibin's tutorial) so i dont want to mess up flashing kernel.
Since these are important files.

I read somewhere u have to copy boot.img to fastboot folder.
That made me confused like hell.
I found the soltn thread closed.
Why do you need to be confused
The extra files are HTC Driver and TWRP image... those are not part of fastboot
When you want to run fastboot flash boot boot.img - the boot.img file must be in fastboot folder
When you run fastboot flash boot [folder path]/boot.img - the boot.img can be at any folder and put the right path ... but why do you want to do the hard way

Flashing any ROM either Sense ROM or AOSP ROM, you need to flash the boot.img as mentioned on OP. The ROM thread will tell you what kind of kernel/boot.img that you need. Some is on CM9 kernel, some on CM10 kernel and some is using the stock kernel or TK kernel. For CM10 they have two different kernel if I'm not mistaken, so read carefully.
Most basic thing is to flash a boot.img that is meant for that ROM.

Before flashing Rom i tried back up from recovery but it had some error.

You need to tell what kind of error, what is written for the error then only someone can tell you whether that's an error or something normal

I all, I've recently been having issues with my HTC One X and the Wifi and Bluetooth connectivity/range.
I've found that my wireless headphone need to be almost on top of the phone to connect, and the wifi drops to only just connected whilst other phones can sit just beside with full signal.
This has not always been the case, it may have been related to flashing the XM Kernal, but cannot be certain.
Since I have flashed CM10.2 nightly and understand it flashes it's own kernal, but I'm still experiencing these issues.
Can someone help?
Thanks, Joss.

The steps I've taken so far is to flash the boot.img via fastboot.
Installed the CM10.2 .zip via CWM Recovery.
And the appropriate clearing of cache and data etc.
The rom is booting just fine and works a treat, except for the low quality wifi and bluetooth.
Have I missed something else?

Anyway, I'm pretty sure I followed your instructions correctly, but now CM won't boot...whenever this happened previously, it was because I had not re-flashed the CM boot.img.

yes you have to leave the xm, that is the point of flashing the custom kernel, it replaces the cm one. and convictmoody asked a relevant question, did you get the correct xm kernel, the aosp one?

ok from the beginning, download Xm kernel aosp version, copy the boot image from the downloaded zip into your fastboot folder.
next go into recovery and format these four, system, data, cache and sdcard.
now mount usb storage and copy the the cm rom.zip onto sdcard and then the whole xm zip file that you downloaded.
now boot into boot loader and do these exactly without the quotes, and when you press enter after each command make sure it says "okay" so you know it actually worked. "fastboot erase cache" then "fastboot flash boot boot.img" then again "fastboot erase cache".
now reboot recovery and install the rom but DO NOT REBOOT.
now clear dalvik
next, while still in recovery, install the xm zip file that you copied over with the rom.
again clear dalvik and then reboot.

My last HTC device was a Desire HD, but I imagine that the newer devices have the same approach. To flash a kernel, you need to use both recovery and a PC, first to flash the boot.img with fastboot from the PC, and then flash the .zip from the recovery.

what what I mean??? I mean you can flash roms and kernels with kernel lighter withowt PC only one time you must to flash the KLboot.img and other things read in the thread for kernel lighter
I use an android phone with twrp custom recovery and when i flashed a rom before i restarted my phone i wipe cache and dalvik cache then i flash the kernel zip separately from the rom and then restart phone. Make a nandroid backup before doing any thing like this and you can backup your stock kernel if you haven't changed it yet. Flashify for root users, app can backup your current kernel and current recovery. I only flash roms and kernels through recovery. I have used that app to flash my recovery but some people have bricked their devices using it. Soft bricked i think

What is it you were doing ? Were you trying to flash them both at same time from a computer instead of on the recovery ?

naaa... first flash the extractet boot.img with his tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1952426
and then i flash the full zip with my recovery. i use philz touch 6 recovery for the hox.
i had made a flashable zip with all my apps. made with ZIPme https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=zip.me&hl=de
works great ^^
i think its easyer than make the whole s-off thing

with Kernel lighter you install one time the KLZeusBeta8.img with the pc then when you go in recovery just go to flash zip from file choice Flash AromaFM-KL.zip then choice your rom and will be installed on the end choice the boot.img from rom.zip the apps will ask you to choice the boot.img and give you automatik the boot.img in the rom.zip and you are ready to go you can change your rom every thime when you want and flash kernels any time without PC
Thank you. I give it a try you description is easyer than the one from the thread

just keep in mind that there is a small bug in KL-Aroma which ill fix in a week, after my exams.
but you can bypass it by running this commands with adb
Code:
adb remount
adb shell mkdir /system/boot/
adb shell mkdir /data/boot/
adb shell mkdir /sdcard/boot/
