[Q] "failed installation" of ARHD 18.1

Hello,
Id appreciate any help with my problem:
After wishing to upgrade to JB from ARHD 9 (ICS), I flashed the correct Hboot and upgraded CWM to 5.8.4.0. However, when trying to flash the ARHD ROM, im getting a "failed installation" message after selecting the zip on the SD card. I thought it might be the boot.img i was using (from the download section), so used the one from the ROM zip instead. No luck. I erase the cache etc very time I can.
Any ideas to what might be the problem?
Thanks in advance

so you have a hboot 1.3* and you flashed the boot.img with fastboot command
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
then entered recovery and did a FULL wipe (also dalvik cache under the advanced tab)
then trying to install the rom.zip ?
install failed, redownload the rom, might be corrupted !

[Q] Idiot With HTC one X stuck in boot loop.

Hello,
I’ve been following guides to root my phone and put a custom ROM onto it. I had no experience in doing this so I thought I would follow an idiots guide and was stupid enough not to back up the original ROM along with not reading up properly on what I was about to do… (yes you can call me names I shall accept it)
The problem I'm having is after putting the custom ROM which was ViperX3.2.0 The phone just stays stuck on the HTC one Tm with beats audio and keeps resetting it self, anyway i can fix it? or have i bricked it.
I'm a complete noobie cause I've been looking around for the past 3 days and still can't find anything (or something I can understand) :angel:
- I've wiped cache, dalvik cache and battery stats
- I go to recovery and click mount sd card nothing happens mount usb storage nothing happens.
- I don't understand next to nothing, need like android for idiots. :good:
- When phones booting up my computer recognises something but has not drivers and fails (But i had drivers and could transfer stuff too and from)
So if you can help i will love you forever
Many Thanks
RIch

I'm going to quote the instructions on the ViperX page. Have you even followed these steps?
Code:
1. Make sure your that your HBOOT is 1.31 or greater
2. Check if you CID is supported, visit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376 for updates. Cheers Mike
3. Unlock your bootloader via HTCDev and install a custom recovery.
4. Download the ROM and place it on your virtual SD card.
5. Do a nandroid backup!
6. Extract boot.img from ROM zip and flash it using ‘fastboot flash boot boot.img’.
7. Use 'fastboot erase cache' to avoid boot issues.
8. Go into recovery and install the ROM.
9. Please choose fullwipe if you are asked, highly recommended if you go from one rom from another rom.
10. Reboot the device and enjoy!

Did you flash the boot.img file in fastboot? fastboot flash boot boot.img followed by fastboot erase cache

Like I Said I was stupid enough not to follow instruction, where to start. First my Hboot is not 1.31 but 1.12 or somthing. No clue what CID is Trust an idiot like me to do something like this HA.
I never did a nandroid backup, I'm hitting myself for that one quite badly
Apart from that i did everything else HA yes i did do fastboot boot boot.img folowed by somthing to do with cache

Okay, in fastboot mode, type 'fastboot getvar cidnum' to get your CID number.
then according to that number, go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376
and download your firmware.zip
then use the following commands:

Just keep trying 'fastboot flash zip (lalala)' until it works.
Afterwards, you need to re-unlock your bootloader with 'fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin'
then reflash boot.img 'fastboot flash boot boot.img'
then 'fastboot erase cache'
then reflash recovery 'fastboot flash recovery (lalalaa.img)'

Whoopsie, did fastboot flash boot boot.img didn't start up so i thought i would check recovery and earse some caches, theres an error for it to load. (a phone laying down with an exclaimation mark) so i can't do a wipe

Reflash the custom recovery
Fastboot flash recovery recover.img
Fastboot erase cache

Anyway to get the recovery back? so i can try another ROM to see if that could possibly fix the problem, just can't get into recovery D: happy my phone turns on lol however no network or can't connect to wifi
by fashing the boot did nothing but crash it more.
so i had to redo what you taught me, thank you again and i'm back to where i said i was

Many thanks, recovery up and running. now that I know this I'll try to reinstall the ROM.
Are there any reasons why I'm not getting signal or WiFi? along with that from the unlock it seem rather slow,
But I guess it's time for me to experiment, now that i know how to fix it if I mess up

Maybe because of this :
When installing the viper you get a question about the custom kernel ....
Answer with NO !

I am sure I have done that a few times, going to try re downloading and try to reinstall. May not be installing right,

Thanks
Just signed up to say thanks Mr Hofs for the help you've posted in this thread in particular but also in many other threads I've been referring to over the last 4 hours or so. I was well on my way to brickage following a screwed up attempt to root my HOX, but thanks to you I'm now up and running again. Admittedly I'm back at square one with a non-rooted handset, but I never would've believed that would be such a happy place to be, plus I feel a tiny bit less of a noob now.
Anyway, apologies for crashing your thread Richlilrich - as you were!

Hey Guy's,
I know this thread is old and many of you might not see this anymore but I'm sure this is where I need to be.
I have a UK Quad Core HOX and rooted fine a while ago.
I placed Cyanogen on for a while and all was running fine but it doesn't have all the tweaks I'd like so looked around for another ROM.
I came across the ViperROM and thought - Great! Exactly what I wanted, checked the reviews - All good, checked my HBoot etc... All seems fine. Went ahead and installed it through CWM (5.8.4.0) like I have done a thousand times before and went and rewrote the boot.img and got a continuous HTC boot loop. Thought hey no harm no fuss and went back into recovery to restore my most recent back-up only to find that they had all gone - My stock recovery my previous tries at other ROMS and most importantly my most recent Backup!!!!
I followed the steps above over and over again, I can re-lock my HOX, reboot into RUU and flash the 3.16.61.6 firmware (and boot img inside zip) and it still bootloop's over and over....... (I can unlock again too)
I've tried adb pushing Stock and custom ROMS to the SD card which says success in windows cmd but says no files on SDcard.
What am I doing wrong?
P.S hboot details are;

Would like to add that I would prefer Viper to stock but stock would help for now

Before going for RUU and stuff, try any other roms.
I'd say do this :
Flash TWRP - Better than CWM anyday.
Go to recovery. Mount USB. Copy Viper (or any other) rom to phone.
Reboot to bootloader.
Flash boot.img.
Fastboot erase cache.
Go to recovery.
Clean install ROM.
Reboot and wait for it. First boot takes pretty long sometimes.

There is no better recovery, a recovery is personal. I'm using CWM now for 2 years....never had a problem with that.....
Now the issue.
How to copy it is in the post above, however before you install the rom you need to make a real good full wipe
Factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced - wipe dalvik cache
Mounts & storage - format cache, data, system
Then install the rom...and ofcourse flash the boot.img from the rom.zip
The option to mount in CWM is under mounts and storage copy the rom.zip over and unmount.
The way i personally follow is :
Flash the boot.img (fastboot, bootloader mode) then enter the recovery and follow the above....make sure you unplug the usb cable BEFORE installing the rom.zip

A nandroid is placed unpacked on the sdcard of the phone. The boot.img from it need to flashed with fastboot. For instance a cwm nandroid looks like this
Clockworkmod\backup\time and date folder\backup files
A full wipe needs to made and then the nandroid must be restored from the backup & restore funtion in the custom recovery !
You can mount the sdcard as a mass storage device inside the recovery to be able to copy roms and backups to it when you don't have a running OS

You don't sound like one who's familiar with flashing anything. Be that as it may, what did you do exactly by "manually flash"? Can you get into fastboot mode or recovery at all? If you can, what does the screen show? You mentioned bootloop. How far does the tablet get before looping?

From experience, mine and others', if you get to the animation part, it means the boot partition is intact. You get into trouble when that is damaged somehow. If I were you, I would flash everything again and separately, from boot.img, to system.img, to recovery.img.
Make sure you choose the right one for your tablet. LTE for LTE and flo for flo (wifi only model) - no mix up. I did flash a wi-fi only rom on an LTE 2012 before, and it didn't brick the tablet, but I have no idea what such a mistake would do to a 2013 model.
I would use a stock-based rom like CleanRom only because so many people bricked theirs after flashing stock rom. I would try Cleanrom to make sure the tablet is functional hardware-wise first. Then, if you feel like taking the dive, go for your stock rom. Ask the author if you cannot retrieve the individual images from the zip file. Good luck.

hardest soft-bricked ever seen!!!
anybody haven't idea?

Why is -S 512M needed? I see what you said above but I've never seen anyone saying to use that command for this device. Update fastboot? Maybe a fastboot format cache at the end?
To be a ****, all you had to do was fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img but you know that now. :highfive:

That is RUU mode. Flash the firmware now (twice).
Since you weren't in RUU mode before, the firmware would have just failed to flash, which means nothing changed, no harm done.
