Kernel Bootloop =.=

Hey there,
Today I wanted to flash faux kernel - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647993 over ARHD6 as I heard lots of good things about it.
I did:
[recovery mode]
10. Select recovery
11. go to /sdcard/download and select the downloaded zip file and let it run its script.
12. Once the script is done, select "reboot system now"
After I did that, my HTC one x was stuck on the boot screen, so I then downloaded and flashed the kernels in this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1654982 I tried both Australian variants(since I got the phone in Australia) under "Faux123", and it was still stuck on boot screen. After that I wiped cache partition using clockwork mod, however this time when i rebooted, the phone just goes into a bootloop.
Okay no biggie (I thought), because I had 2 backups in clockwork. So I ran the 2 backups I had, guess what! Even after recovering, it still stuck on bootloop. Great. Now I've no idea what to do...
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,
The Kernel is independent Form your backup.
What rom do you use?
You may need repacked kernels.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1727567
.bootloader
Flash kernel
Erase cache
. Clockwork
Erase delvik
Erase cache (factory reset)
Flash rom
Flash kernel modules
.
When you flash your kernel and restore a backup it tries to use the original settings from stock kernel with your new kernel. This won't work.

Thanks for the reply. I'm using Android Revolution HD 6. Should I still get a repacked kernel?

because we don't have s-off, you need to flash the boot.img (kernel) manually via fastboot with your pc. read fauxes kernel thread, it explains it all... good luck.

Thanks!!! You're a life saver. So I flashed it in fastboot, then I ran the zip file in the recovery. After that it boots up fine! But everything I have is lost, so when I try to recover it by using my previous backup, it goes to another bootloop O_O. Any ideas on how to get back my apps and data back?
EDIT: All right! Got my data back!
1. Restored using clockwork
2. Goes into boot loop
3. Flash the kernel
4. Wallah!
Got one question tho, how do I know I'm using faux's kernel? When I look at kernel version in system info, it says:
(some numbers)
[email protected]#350

Both CM9/CM10 hangs at boot.

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?

I see, then it is not only I who have this problem.
And a heads up, if the backup would go wrong, I currently use this ROM and it works pretty good if you want stock or cannot be arsed to get a root exploit for the stock ROM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2035203.
Would be great if anyone has any ideas why irundaia and I cannot make CM10 work?

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?

Kinda out of ideas here...
Can you confirm that the boot.img flashes ok? (should say OKAY)
Also confirm that you have endeavoru and not evita.

command for boot.img work fine

Is available a FAQ post about MaximusHD 20 at this link
About it you must flash the given boot.img in the kernel flasher and perform a full wipe. Other kernels don't working on it. TWRP 2.6 is recommended because with other recoveries you may be stuck on 0% or 8% during the installation.
All is totally working with no bugs, if you have one you should retry a celan flash.
Good luck and enjoy :laugh:

Thats because you updated the phone to at least 3.17 software or higher (updated touch drivers !)
Indeed use twrp (repacked) or philz. Btw flashed it with philz myself, no issues

@Mr Hofs
is clockwork recovery fine for installing this rom ?
or do u recommend philz recovery ??
If yes then how do i change from cwm to philz ?
Philz has a zip file whereas cwm is .img file
I installed cwm through cmdpromt
But how do i install philz through cmd ?

hey mate,
1. +2. All recoverys should work. TWRP 2.6 is recommand. Some Philz users reported issues (stuck @ 0%, bootloop etc.).
3. Just flash it via fastboot.
4. Unzip it and you will find a .img file
5. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache

Thanks i will try this ! :good:

Guys official OTA is available in many countries. The new base is 4.18.401.2 but the Maximus is on 4.18.401.1. Also the hotboot is updated to 1.72.
I hope in a OTA update of Maxiums and not in another clean flash

I won't recommend any recovery. But philz has a fully functional one. Twrp is a good recovery but in the repacked version adb and ums does not work. And in philz it all does work. I use philz and flashed the sense 5 rom with succes. Just sharing my experience

And as for the kernel, flashing it via fastboot is fine. the kernel flasher is a simple batch file to simplify things, but it doesn't appear to fastboot erase cache, so imo it is better to flash the boot image manually. I did and it's working flawlessly

MaximusHD 21 with base 4.18.401.2 is available, but on OTA you find the full rom, so 700MB.
I don't know if in the kernel flasher provided by football there is the wipe cache script, maybe the missing wipe can cause wifi issue.

An alternative is instead of rebooting your device from fastboot is to go back to hboot, load into recovery and manually wipe cache partition.

In any case if you select full wipe while installing the rom in the log you can read wiping cache so theoretically no problem. But a dev daid to me that is safer clean from fastboot

Unable to flash OS to HTC One X

Hi XDA,
I decided to install CM 11 on my HTC, and so I unlocked the bootloader, and I then rooted it. I also updated my HBOOT to 1.39. After this I installed CWM and backed up, and attempted to flash the latest CM for the One X. Firstly I had an issue with the status 7 error, but managed to overcome that by updating my CWM (Now running 6.0.4.7 Touch Recovery). At the moment I do not have an OS, and all attempts to flash a new ROM are successful, however when I reboot I am still stuck at a frozen boot screen. ("HTC. Quietly Brilliant"). Even restoring my backup doesn't work.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Apologies if this is in the wrong section.
Thank you

So, I flashed the ROM and now it work. But if I want back to stock? I don't have any nandroid backup and; I don't know why, I can't do S-Off: using rumrunner, it does all the procedure, but it stucks on pouring: it arrives to pouring (8) and then it says me to reboot and retry.
