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.

First of all ....he had his instructions ....secondly
2 : factory reset after installing the custom Rom.....lol then it won't boot up anymore. You can't factory reset a custom rom hahaha

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.
http://db.tt/Krlm4dPs
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*

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.
BTW I respond slow because I work for a living.

Keep your pants on mate, it was just a joke....
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.

Nevermind it worked after waiting a long time! The ROM works! Thanks!
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.
YOke now test a true JB rom. Read my post above to check the hboot !
And CM10.1 is that small. I don't know why it does not work ! Installed it this week on somebody else's phone just like i described here .....

So here is my problem,i have updated my hboot from 1.12 to 1.39 via this program JBFWTOOL21Z and i did everything as in the video tutorial on youtube. Afterwards i unlocked my bootloader , and i tried to reboot the phone and it got stuck on the htc startup screen. I feel as if it is important to mention that i had viper x rom(2.0.6) and it reboots in that rom and its just gets stuck, so can some one help me either completley erase everything(root,custom roms and get it like it came out of the factory) or apply a new custom rom but when i go to recovery i get a red triangle. Please help me and try to explain everything step by step because im a noob, and sorry for my enligsh
edit: i did a factory reset on accident and it just lost all my sd data and i have no rom..... can some one help me the phone boots directly in clockworkmod recovery.. How can i fix it please help i'm desperate

hi all,
i need help getting back to stock rom please.
i have my stock online nandroid backup files tried to flash stock boot.img then proceeding to restore using TWRP 2.4.4 but it fails.
i tried paranoid android 3.10 last night and it looks great with my best feature "swipe to lock/unlock" , unfortunately no wifi , it just can not be turned on, tried another kernel "repacked xm"
and still no wifi and gsm signal,
now i flashed RC19 it is working great , only some issues with notification LED and camera/gallery stability , but i still want to know how to get back to stock.
any help will be appreciated.
Flash the boot.img file from the stock nandroid backup. Enter the recovery and perform a full wipe then restore the backup. Should get you back to stock rom.
Twrp has a different boot.img named boot.emmc.win .....flash it
Fastboot flash boot boot.emmc.win
Fastboot erase cache

Oke get yourself a new nandroid backup from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140
Its taken with clockworkmod recovery. So flash that first. Look for cwm 5.8.4.0 and flash it. You probably have no touch because of the 3.16 base you are on. Just use the volume and power button.
Download the nandroid and unpack it to the right folder
Clockworkmod\backup\time & date folder\backup files
Then wipe ALL of this
Factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced - wipe dalvik cache
Mounts & storage - format cache, data, system
Restore the nandroid backup and after that you open the command window on the pc and type
adb reboot bootloader (the phone goes from the recovery to the bootloader)
Flash the boot.img from the new nandroid
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot reboot
This should work fine.
thanks for your great support , one other thing i want to know , how to access the correct directory without having a working system on the device?
ok i managed to access it
Go in the recovery to mounts and storage and select : mount as mass storage device .....it pops up on the pc as a usb diskdrive

Its taken with clockworkmod recovery. So flash that first. Look for cwm 5.8.4.0 and flash it. You probably have no touch because of the 3.16 base you are on. Just use the volume and power button.
Download the nandroid and unpack it to the right folder
Clockworkmod\backup\time & date folder\backup files
Then wipe ALL of this
Factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced - wipe dalvik cache
Mounts & storage - format cache, data, system
Restore the nandroid backup and after that you open the command window on the pc and type
adb reboot bootloader (the phone goes from the recovery to the bootloader)
Flash the boot.img from the new nandroid
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot reboot
This should work fine.

A nandroid backup NEVER comes together with a install of gapps. Don't know what you are trying to do ? A nandroid backup is restored including flashing the boot.img. that's all to it.

Don't know really ! If you did all you needed to do there should be no problem. What's your hboot number ?
Wipe ALL again. Flash the boot.img from the paranoid rom. Go to the recovery and install the rom.zip and gapps.zip.....then reboot. Otherwise try another rom
i think it is a kernel issue, that's why i tried to repack with xm kernel , but no use, so i flashed RC19.

i think its htc001. yeah its what i do for every rom. ive been off my htc for about 4 months so thought there was something to do with the different version of android jelly bean??? i used to be on ARHD18 which worked perfectly. i did what i said above and this happened. ive tried installing miui from ARHD18 and that failed aswell. it had no lockscreen and stuff generally didnt work.
