[Q] My HOX (HTC One X) wont install sense roms

Hello,
I have recently bought a second-hand HTC One X. When i bought the HOX it was rooted running the viper x 2.0.0 rom. I decided to change the rom to cyanogen 10 nightly. It was working fine but then i decided to install slim bean 3.0.0 and this was working fine too (this is what i have on my HOX right now).What i would like to do is install viper x 2.0.0 again or another sense-based rom. However i tried doing this and it does not boot. When i install it, it just loads the htc logo and then reboots again back into clockworkmod recovery?
I have tried various sense-based roms and none of then work? Also i know viper x 2.0.0 works because it was on there when i bought it.
Please can someone give me instuctions on how to do it.
Thanks in advance
P.S When i try to install the viper x or other sense-based rom i flash the boot.img using 'fastboot flash boot boot.img'
I have just fixed it i installed the latest version and worked the one i was installing must have been a ota update? anyway if u are stuck like me read this

after flashing the boot.img try "fastboot erase cache" it should work

erase cache always

Thanks for reply

Yes, i know this because i use winrar to extract the boot.img from the viperx.zip
What do u think i should do to make it work?
I was thinking do i need to flash a kernel that works for the viperx to work or does the viperx.zip already have a kernel inside the file?
At the moment i have : 2.6.39.4-cyanogenmod because i have slimbean installed which is based on cm10

Full wipe, that's all I can think of.

This is one of the ways i have done it:

1. go to bootloader and hit fastboot option
2. fastboot erase cache
3. fastboot flash boot boot.img (boot.img from the viperx.zip)
4. fastboot erase cache
5. disconect the phone from USB and go to the recovery
6. wipe data/factory reset
7. wipe cache
8. mounts & storage format system , data , cache
9. go to advanced and wipe dalvic cache
10. flash the rom
11. I rebooted the HOX in the aroma installer
12. and then it just boots on htc logo then back into recovery?!?
Also the weird thing is only sense-based roms don't work? And all the sense-based roms i have tried use aroma installer, maybe this could be to do with it?

First install rom then boot.img.

did u full wipe inside aroma + what rom ver you are using maybe you are flashing an update or what hboot you are on ?

i used to install ROM before flashing the boot.img and erasing cache... if i flash boot.img before sometimes i'm stuck in bootloop...
the boot.img has to be extracted from the rom itself... also try to flash other different roms

How to flash a custom kernel

Hi guys, I am stock rooted and want to flash latest xm kernel 115 on my phone. I downloaded the repacked boot image for my Rom but don't know what to do now, can someone guide me through the process
Can someone also tell me what the smartmax govenor does and how it compares to interactive, which is better for gaming and which for battery life. Finally I presume deadline is the best schedular for perfomance, am I right?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

For flash the kernel:
1) Copy the modules into sd card
2) reboot in recovery
3) Flash modules
4) Return on recovery home
5) With prompt write: "adb reboot bootloader"
6) Erase cache: "fastboot erase cache"
7) Flash the kernel "fastboot flash boot name_of_kernel.img
8) Erase cache
9) Use "fastboot reboot"
10) Enjoy
Smartmax is the best governor for battery life.
Performance for gaming

Thanks mate. I assume the modules are the kernel zip folder. What do I so with the boot Img that is already in the zip folder thanks for your help

Mate,
That's Ok since we don't have S-OFF the boot.img in Kernel zip will not flash through recovery it will only flash the modules. So you can flash the repacked boot.img then reboot to recovery and flash the Kernal.zip. Then wipe cache and reboot.

So do i flash modules first or kernel img

Actually it doesnt matter, but i always prefer to flash the boot.img first and then i install the modules .....dont ask me why

And I do the opposite

If you use CWM, it makes sense to flash boot first 'cause hboot has direct linking to recovery. If you flashed modules first, you would have to boot to bootloader the "hard" way.

It makes me feel safer to know that
Fastboot erase cache
is the last command i use before rebooting the phone.
And step 6 is not required.

Well either way....it works. And its not so difficult when you install the modules first....then open the fastboot command window and type
Adb reboot bootloader
Then flash the boot.img and reboot
TT did you ment with the hard way by holding the buttons ? If so....its not needed
Edit : like guich said already ....

Thanks for you helps guys, I may do it do boot img first just as it seems simpler

Ordroid 14.0 & XM-Kernel WiFi not working

Hi guys, i have a problem with Ordroid 14.0 & XM-Kernel #283, the WiFi not work, only put "authenticating", anyone know what could be wrong?
Thanks, and sorry my bad english

You flashed the boot.img, did you install the modules in the recovery ?

Yes, i follow the steps with says in the post
Install modules from recovery (Install the zip)
Wipe dalvik cache. Yes, it's important, the versions could have some binary level differencies (from different compiler options) which can lead to unknown behaviour with old dalvik code.
Erase fastboot cache
Flash kernel image with fastboot
If you have problems with some functions not working on your ROM, then repack. Otherwise it's not needed.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

And did you used the repacked one that's posted in the thread ? If so i would try the pure one from the XM kernel thread

I tried with both, and tried with 4 versions, and not work :s

Try it once more the other way around, boot to the bootloader and flash the new xm boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Enter the recovery and install the modules.zip

The same, not work, I think I'll leave it with the stock kernel

Yeah i guess, if you tried the normal and the repacked one then there is not much to play around with anymore !
Did you try 274 too, i see that its been used without repacking ....

Yeah i think so, thanks very much for your help n.n

You are using the sense based kernels right ?

Yes, i already test that version xD

Then im out of options !

[Q] Wifi & Bluetooth issues

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.

Ahh, I assume no because I'm not sure that modules are.
I assumed I would simply need to flash the rom file and boot.img & it would do the rest.

I made the same mistake when I first flashed a custom kernel. copy the zip file, that you extracted the boot image from, to your sdcard and install it via recovery

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?

Yes you missed something, as I said above, the zip file that you downloaded from xm, the one you got the boot image from, needs to be installed in recovery as well as the rom zip

I had XM installed, I thought by flashing CM though I would go back to it's default kernel.
I assume that would be a better setup...doesn't it automatically override XM when I flash the CM rom?
My current kernel version is 3.1.10-cyanogenmod+ [email protected] #1 Wed Aug 21 00:21:13 PDT 2013

Is your one x s-off ?

---------- Post added at 09:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:27 AM ----------
ok I'll assume your phone is s-off. either way do this:- if you have the rom installed already, flash the XM boot.img via fastboot, then reboot into recovery and mount usb storage and copy the entire original XM zip file(not just the boot .img) onto your card. now install the XM zip while in recovery and reboot

sorry it took a while to reply I couldn't type properly for laughing, don't be offended but "where are the cakes" is my signature lol. and yes you can do that with s-on also, although if you are s-on and flash the xm boot image via fastboot installing the rom afterwards should not overwrite the xm boot.img. anyway do what i said, with installed rom, flash xm boot, then install modules in recovery(the xm zip file)

How is that your signature...it's only on some of your replies?
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.
Should I have done this, or are you trying to leave the XM boot.img there?

Did u flashed the cm version of xm kernel or the sense version?

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.

You need to flash boot.img, after flashing erase cache and your phone will be fully functional again
command is fastboot flash boot boot.img
And yeah, better try alex v 2.6 pa3 kernel, that kernel will give you best battery

First install i always recommend to flash the delivered boot.img and rom. Change kernel afterwards.
Like been said above, flash the Alex kernel AND install the .zip via the recovery. Modules needs to be installed too

He said that he allready flashed alex-v (zip), so i told him just to flash boot.img

I'm not correcting. Just giving full info, the terms flashing and installing gets confusing for some. In my opinion flashing is what you do via fastboot and installing via recovery

no guys tried it both. but yesterday I got it fixed it was a problem with the latest philz not supporting aroma properly (says aroma file missing) so now it works like a charm

Good !
