ive downloaded the boot.img file from this link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2013506
and downloaded the zip file .. but forgot to add it to the sdcard ..
i've made a a backup using CWM before anything ..
after that i've run this command : fastboot flash boot boot.img
and after that remembered to add the .zip file but i cant get into my phone anymore .. my phone just get into the HTC quitly briiliant page and stop ..
please help
can i add the zip file in a way to the phone so i can install it ??! because when i plug the usb cable to the PC it doesnt show the internal storage
Mount the sdcard as usb storage in the recovery
Cwm recovery ? Go to MOUNTS & STORAGE and tap the last option in the list
Then copy the rom.zip
different boot.img for different Roms???
A friend of mine helped me root my phone, I´m now running ViperX and flashed using Aroma Installer.
What do I have to do now when changing Roms - I don´t have to type commands hooking my phone up to the computer everytime,do I?
Just put the zipfile on my sd card - wipe cache and dalwik cache then flash rom using Aroma (when in recovery).?
There´s already a boot.img file on my sdcard where the ViperX zipfile is....
Or do I have to replace/ put the new roms boot.img-file there?
Nooooooob - thanks!
it's recommended to flash the boot.img that comes with the rom. if you are already on viper x JB then its not really needed. you can flash the new viper x JB with a full wipe over the old viper x JB (Viper X JB 3.2.* to 3.3.0) the latest Viper X JB rom NEEDS a FULL wipe.
if you are coming from any other rom you need the pc to flash the boot.img from the pc to the phone with the fastboot command

I was thinking of flashing InsertCoin.
Think my friend said the good part of Aroma was that I didn´t have to type commands using the pc connected to the phone everytime I wanted to flash new roms. Jsut mount, put zipfile and addons on the hox in the catalog where the boot.img is...?
No flashing a boot.img is impossible from the recovery, we need S-OFF for that but we don't have that. so flash the boot.img from the pc !
if i want to go back to the original OS i just enter CWM and go to recovery mode ?
and what about sdcard/0/ do i need to change it to sdcard if yes how to do that .. i didnt understand this :
adb shell
cd /sdcard/0/
mv * ../
mv .* ../
cd ..
rmdir 0

Mount the sdcard in the recovery and you can put everything from sdcard\0\ to sdcard\
Also the nandroid backup .....
Then flash the boot.img from the nandroid backup, its in the folder. Then go to recovery and do FULL wipe (don't forget the dalvik cache under the advanced menu) then tap backup & restore and continue to restore the nandroid

Yes but did you copy the boot.img from the nandroid backup folder to the fastboot folder on the pc if the old boot.img still exists in the fastboot folder then you are flashing probably the old boot.img !

i found the boot.img on the nandroid backup folder .. so i need to copy it to the folder i first created which includes the fastboot.exe and some other files .. and enter the fastboot flash boot boot.img there ? and after that go to phone and enter recovery and restore ?
Well if you already did a full wipe and restored the nandroid then you only have to flash the boot.img. it will probably boot fine after that.....

Well it can't be restored because we don't have s-off otherwise it could ! But it is easy that it is actuallly copied along with the nandroid backup because at that point you have everything to boot the phone ! The nandroid, the boot.img and a custom recovery that is able to restore it. This way you can never loose the correct boot.img for the nandroid :thumbup:
And now ? What's next .... Updating to JB ....or where you alredy on JB ? Can't recall I have too many subscribed threads at the moment

Ah no not at the moment , this is it
Hi, Brand new Noob here, but hoping someone can help…I’ve had a good scour around and can’t find the answer. We have a Htc one x from orange uk (cid orang001) stuck at “quietly brilliant” screen following an attempt to load ViperX 2.6.0. After downloading, the MAC unzipped the ROM so this was just rezipped back up and transferred over to the SD card, without any special conditions. ( I’ve since read somewhere that this might cause issues)
USB debugger was enabled but its not possible to enable it now.
Fastboot works ok, and we’ve flashed the boot ok, but ADP isn’t working, so it isn’t possible to push the correct ROM.ZIP to the SDcard. CWM is installed.
We’ve seen the post for an updated CWM with ADP enabled on this here but that states its only for at&t models. If we could get ADP working we’d be able to push the correct ROM over, so this would seem the easiest way if possible.
I wanted to avoid doing a RUU in case the phone would end up bricked, but I can’t get the correct version anyway.
Command ./fastboot getvar version-main returns
version-main: 3.16.61.6 and the noob guide at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1859714 says we can’t use a lower version….the nearest RUU I can find is 1.29.061.11 (released on 31/01/2013).
Any ideas on how best to recover this phone? The issue might not be anything to do with the zipping of the ROM, but then I have no idea why its not working…I’m hoping it’s a simple procedure, but I fear it may not be! Please Help!
any help would be much appreciated!!
First of all go and boot into the bootloader, hold down the power button and the volume - button together as long as it takes to get in the bootloader. Do not let go of the buttons before you are in !!!
Check the bootloader, what does it say on top
Probably
Unlocked ?
Endeavouru ?
Hboot : tell me ?
And tell me which recovery you flashed type and version !

You need to flash the boot.img that is delivered within the rom.zip.
What hboot version do you have ? If you are on the JB hboot i suggest you try CM10.1

Icecoldjelly.....pretty much the same as any other Rom
Put the phone in the bootloader and flash the boot.img from the rom

Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Enter the recovery and put the rom.zip on the sdcard (mount as usbdrive)
Then perform a full wipe
Factory reset, wipe cache,dalvik cache
Format cache,data, system
Then install the rom.zip and gapps if it has it !

You must mount the internal sdcard as a usb diskdrive, you have the option inside the recovery. What version do you have ?

What recovery do you use, and also what version ?
hi
i already unlock the bootloader, install custom recovery TWRP, and done a backup
i also copy my backup to PC
now i'm confuse
- i need to root the phone or can i just flash the new room?
- if i need to root the phone i found an italian guide on 4.0 and attach file, can i use that? i have 4.1.1 on mine now
i'm not interested to have HTC stock with root but what i want is to install MIUI ROM
this is the only guide i found in english that explains how to install the rom
external link (i can't post it) miuiandroid.com/community/threads/installing-the-htc-one-x-required-s-on-steps.16592/
what i understand is:
- boot my device power + menu down, to see the FASTBOOT USB i have to select FASTBOOT
- flash the boot.img
- press the power button once (HBOOT i guess), click volume down, highlight recovery & press power
- Flash the downloaded ROM via recovery normally and it followup at this link
external link (i can't post it) miuiandroid.com/community/threads/how-to-update-upgrade-miui.15424/
i need to copy the img rom in SD ROOT before starting with all this process
- now i need to Wipe data/factory reset, Cache Wipe & Dalvik Cache Wipe in all tutorial i found this is done with clockworkmod
in TWRP under menu WIPE i guess are System, Cache, Dalvik buttons
after that i'm note sure if i need to flash italian language, if i don't need and i can just download it later i tihink is not a big deal
unless is all in chinese
is the metod correct?
do i have to copy ROM file in .zip format as i download?
here where i found ROM
from official site grey button miui.com/download-7.html
OR
from UK web site miuiandroid.com/community/threads/3-4-28.20232/
the boot.img is here
point 3 miuiandroid.com/community/threads/installing-the-htc-one-x-required-s-on-steps.16592/
i'm not sure if would be better to use clockworkmod, since most tutorials use that..
thanks
Doesn't matter which recovery you use. Yes just place the zip file on your sd card. Flash boot.img as you already said. Perform a full wipe and then flash the Rom zip. Reboot and its done.
The Roms are pre-rooted so you dont need to worry about that. Italian language should be included i guess.

Heres what i do :
1) Put Rom.zip on SD card
2) Put boot.img in fastboot folder
3) fastboot erase cache
4) fastboot flash boot boot.img
5) fastboot erase cache
6) Reboot into recovery
7) Full wipe (except sd card)
8) Install rom
9) Enjoy new rom

i did my first mess but fortunally i could restore since i had copy the backup on my mac too
i don't know what went wrong but this is what happened:
- i did how was told before, but actually i download boot.img and rom from 2 different sites
- after reboot it didn't move from first screena waited for 15 minutes almost, so i did reboot in recovery tri to wipe but nothing happened
- so i decide to restore... but it did boot even if it was successful
- i thought that if i flashed the boot.img first time i may need to do it again, i found boot.emmc.win, rename it to boot.img, flash it and then i restored successfully
:victory:
now, to try a different rom i need to restore (maybe is safer)? can i copy the rom from recovery or fastboot?
what can it be wrong with my miui rom? could it be boot.img and rom file mismatch? can't find where to download both

i would try a different rom for now, viperx perhaps. and the boot image is in the rom zip, extract the boot img from the rom and put it in your fastboot folder then copy the rom to your sdcard. once you have done that, fastboot erase cache, flash the boot image, fastboot erase cache again, then back into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik just to be sure then use recovery to flash the rom and hey presto. all of the above is assuming you have the one x international tegra 3
I have htc one x european terga 3, as far as I know mini is only for tegra 3
what you describe is exactly what I did:
- I leave the rom zip ad it is, I didn't remove boot.imf that I extract, correct?
- when I flash I hit hoot fastboot, connect USB and fastboot change in fastboot USB, to go back I select Hboot and and hit power, prom there recovery
- I did unlock bootloader but did not get rooted my phone, could it be that?

reading further it says: to wipe, install rom, and flash boot.img after
"Now go back and press install. Go to the folder where the ROM you downloaded, is located in. Select the ROM and slide the screen to flash it. After it flashes, press the back button. Press Reboot and Reboot into bootloader. Open the ROM you downloaded from your computer. You should see boot.img. Extract it to your computer. Open my toolkit and press Flash a Kernel. Locate the boot.img and it will flash it."

yes you can do it that way, i usually flash first but sometimes it does not work, so just flash it last as it says in the tutorial

Help my hox is lock on sentinel 4.75 and I cant flash any other rom onto it.
Every time I try to load another rom it crashed at the htc boot screen and never load (I have left it for up to 20 mins)
When this happens the only thing I can do is reload a nandroid of sentinel 4.75 and flash the boot image to return to my previous rom.
I have tried multiple roms including probam, sentinel 5.0, xenonhd and icj with no luck on any of them.
I am on Hboot 1.31 and have installed philz recovery.
Recently I found that my phone had no root access and had to reflash the rom - again the only one that worked was sentinel 4.75
Is there anything I can do to fix my phone to allow me to load another rom. Im finding different issues every time I reload sentinel and would really love to load something else.
Update the hboot
I am guessing that you are forgetting to flash the boot image included in the rom you desire to install.
For example you want to install sentinel v5.00.
update: forgot to mention that you need to update your hboot to run newer roms. you can find proper
hboot update files for your cid in xda forum. Credits to Mr Hofs for the reminder.
Follow these steps.
Technical terms:
adb or fastboot folder: a folder where you have fastboot.exe and adb.exe
HOX: HTC One X
preparation:
a. go to your fastboot or adb folder and rename any 'boot.img' to anything else, like sentinel475.img
b. download the zip file of the rom you want to install
c. copy this zip file into your HOX
d. open the zip file and copy the 'boot.img' file into your adb or fastboot folder
e. make sure your HOX has atleast 60% charge(50% is also fine)
Flashing procedure:
Reboot into recovery
Select 'wipe data/factory reset'
Select 'wipe data/factory reset for new rom' ( applicable to philz recovery only)
Then go back to main menu in recovery
Select 'install zip from sdcard'
Select the zip file, the one you copied to your HOX
Once it has been flashed properly
Reboot into bootloader
connect your HOX with your PC and make sure the HOX display shows 'fastboot usb' in red
open a command window and go to your fastboot folder
type in fastboot flash boot boot.img
type in fastboot erase cache
type in fastboot reboot
disconnect your hox and wait for 5 to 7 minutes for hox to boot into desktop
Thats it. I always follow these steps and everything is fine. You also have to flash gapps zip file but we need to get a proper rom
loaded first before we can do anything else. gapps is always flashable later so no worries about it.
BTW, does it say 'Unlocked' or 'Relocked' in your bootload on the top of the screen?
Can you post the steps you are following to flash other roms? May be you are missing some steps.
Most of the times, a rom will not boot if you don't flash the boot.img that came with the rom.
Thanks, and let me know your results
[Disclaimer: If you follow these steps then you automatically agree to not hold me and all xda forum staff and members responsible for
any damage that might have resulted following or not following these instructions properly or improperly.]
Leave the steps above for now. First give me the outcome of
Fastboot getvar version-main
Thanks rowlf I have installed a few roms before and am familiar with the installation process.
Sorry mistaken it is hboot 1.36
Mr hofs - the version is 3.14.707.24
In case you need cid is HTC__044
I suggest you run the ruu to get back to full stock and try to update via official ota.
http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo...Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_296434_signed.exe
Get the hboot higher up.
Edit :
1.36 ? Thats fine for all roms. When you install a new one i always advice to do the full wipe manually. Factory reset, wipe caches and format cache,data and system ! Then install the rom.
