Hey ladies and gents. I am a total stranger on this part of XDA so please bear with me. I currently have a desire hd that I'm waiting to flash custom rom to but I'm having problems.
It's currently running stock 2.3.5 with sense. I've been trying to flash a 4.2.2 but it does nothing. I have root access abd custom recovery and it works just fine.
When I try to flash an updated recovery using rom manager or rom toolbox, the phone freezes. Please let me know what I'm doing wrong, I forgot how to work with htc phones.

you are flashing and update...you are flashing a rom. So, go to recovery and then:
Full wipe (Wipe data/factory reset - wipe cache partition - format system - format data - format cache)
Choose install zip from sdcard.
Choose zip file
Find the rom file (do not rename it) and flash it
If you are S-OFF then just reboot. If you have unlolcked the bootloader you need to reboot in fastboot usb and flash the rom boot.img in cmd by typing:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

During installation of ARHD Rom I suddenly got caught up in CWM Recovery mode. I have now tried to wipe system and everything and do a "restore" of my NANDROID backup without success. My question then is; how the hell can I push a ROM to my phone with the phone only in CWM Recovery??? I'm kind'a desparate!!!
Can also mention I'm on a Mac!
Hope someone has the answer!

Try restoring your nandroid backup, just remember to flash the boot.img
Sent from my fauxed HOX running ARHD 8.0.0
Did you flash recovery to the boot partition? (fastboot flash boot recovery.img)That could explain why it only boots to recovery. Try flashing recovery again (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.) then the boot.IMG (fastboot flash boot boot.IMG )then the Rom.

I've already tried that, I've even tried going to advanced restore -> boot -> restore boot without success..
BTW; I've now managed to push a new ROM onto my phone, installed it but still it won't but other than to recovery!!!

Sounds pretty much like what I did.. Will try your version now..
LATEST EDIT:
Seems like it did the trick rayford85.. Nice to see the bootanimation on my HOX again! Stupid step to forget (flashing the boot.img) LoL! Thank you rayford85!
Reusing this post to another dumb question... Everytime I reboot my phone it seems like the boot.img disappears because I have to ./fastboot-mac boot boot.img for every reboot of my phone!
Any good ideas of how to solve this?

Aaah chill bro...u did not flash the kernel
Sent from my One V using xda premium
Seems like you didn't finish flashing your kernel, or that you didn't wipe the cache and dalvik AFTER flashing the ROM or kernel...
Remember you have to extract the boot.img from the ROM and flash through the bootloader. If you have a separate kernel you're supposed to flash the zip in CWM and also flash the boot.img that you extracted from the zip through the bootloader as well. Remember to wipe your cache and dalvik after flashing. It's crucial!
In any case what ROM are you flashing, and what separate kernel if any? It's always good to have the RUU for your phone before you try these things...
You either didn't full wipe or didn't flash kernel...devs write all the steps in the thread.. why don't people follow ??
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.

Hi, (not sure if I'm in the right section of the forum, sorry if I'm not)I'm new to this forum and rooting. I have currently installed CM 10.1.2 on my HTC One X.
Everytime I try to install a new ROM it gets stuck on the boot animation after installation is done.
I follow the steps like flash boot.img, wipe caches, flash rom.zip...
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance

after you flash the rom in recovery you have to get into fastboot mode, and using you'r PC flash the boot.img that you extract from the rom zip file
fastboot flash boot boot.img
If you are using the correct roms for your device (should be endeavorU) than that should do it, since we are S-ON thats the only way to flash a rom.
After you flash boot.omg and Rom in cwm, wipe cache, and dalvic cache.

Thanks so much for your feedback. It was the wiping that was the problem.
Hello guys.
I'm with this problem that the phone don't pass the google logo.
I0ve tried flashing 4 diferent roms -xenon HD. cm11, etc and all of them dont boot. (flashes normally with wipe and all).
Also tried flasing diferent CWM, tried CWM 6.0.4.7 and 6.0.4.8 and TRMP 2.7 and still happens the same...
I noticed that before flashing new rom (had 4.1.2 on TWRP 2.3) the phone had that gallery problem that cannot open camera algo, could be possible that camera module dont let the phone boot??
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
cheers

Nexus root toolkit: http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/
Factory images: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Flash 4.3 android
For flashing factory images you don't need custom recovery, but for ROMs you NEED it!
NO toolkit please.. Just manually use fastboot. No offense to the devs though.

Guys, worked like a charm. Thanks a lot!! really appreciate it
For anyone who's in the same situation:
1. install ADB/fastBoot on your pc and install phone drivers
2. put the phone in fastboot mode
3. flash stock image file from link posted above
4. boot phone
5. Done
If you want to flash custom rom right away
6. download cwm 6.0.4.7 or above
7. flash recovery via fastboot (fastboot flash recovery recoveruFileName.zip)
8. enter recovery mode
9. flash new rom
p.s. to put files on phone, you0ll need to install twrp recovery instead, the in that recovery, enter advanced mode, then command line, select sd card then press select on right bottom corner. To transfer files go to command line on pc and pass files like: adb push fileNameAndPath.zip /sdcard
Cheers
