Confusion about flashing 4.2 and 4.1 - HTC One X

I am now using an UNLOCKED HOX (international), with ViperX 3.7.3 rom and Android 4.1.1.
If i go to flash a rom that is Android 4.2.2 , like CM10 or IceColdJelly , am I able to flash them directly ?
if yes, then how about the restore ? It is also simply flash a 4.1.1 rom (like ViperX) that go back to android 4.1 ?
I do some research and seems that there have a problem on 4.2 ( sdcard0 folder), will it cause a problem for going back to 4.1 version ?
lots of confuse , sorry for my poor English and noob on flashing:crying:

you have to do a full-wipe almost every time you want to install a new ROM...

What you mean is flash boot.img-> "wipe"-> and flash .zip like common step ?
That mean i don't need to care about flashing roms with different Android Version?
thanks for reply

[HELP] Uninstalling cyanogenmod9 (TOTALY NOOB)

Hi all, at first I hope, dear Admins, that you won't delete my thread. (Sry if I break some rules, but I just messed up with my telephone and need very much for someone's help)
So I installed cyanogenmod9 (Android version 4.0.4;cyanogen 9-20120708-UNOFFICIAL-gio) and I didn't like that(maybe cuz im too stucked into original android version) and wanted to uninstall it SOMEHOW. Tried in reboot menu to wipe data, and etc. But still it won't help me. When I fix that and I will get answer, you can lock the thread. Thx.

Go into this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1407
Pick a ROM with Gingerbread (Android 2.3.x) and install it like you installed CM9 before (in Recovery).
I recommend this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1654317
If you want to install Stock ROM you have to use Odin.

Just flash the jb rom and kernel. Reboot and see if you get the network. If not then revert to your ICS, until you can try again and provide logcat..

I would suggest you to stick to ICS for now, as no baseband can be quite major issue. Search the forums to find out how to provide logcat...
I would also suggest a backup of the EFS before you play anymore with flashing ROM's etc. There is a sticky in the dev threads for the same.

Before you flash are you wiping data, cache, and dakvik, and formatting system? These are required.

MIUI offical builds doesn't work :(

Hiiii guys! I have a problem with MIUI official rom, and maybe some kind guy could help me...
I tried to flash the rom the first time, with custom kernel, and result was a bootloop...
tried with stock kernel and the phone process stopped forever XD
tried the previous build and touchscreen is not working...
I don't know what can I do, these two last builds are pain in the ass...
someone had these problems?
I always wipe everything, flash boot, flash rom, language pack (maybe is the lang pack the problem?) flash gapps, reboot...
Ask such questions in the ROM thread :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957490
After flashing MIUI with it's default kernel, you need to wipe everything and then format /system and then flash the ROM.zip...
com.process errors either means you didn't flash the boot.img correctly or you didn't wipe via recovery...

Yes, the touch won't work because of the different bases! AFAIK!
It's best you use RD-MIUI... Any roms which are not from XDA, I'm not sure anyone here will be able to help you.
All I can say is do the following:
Flash boot.img after that erase cache via fastboot. then flash this script via recovery: http://d-h.st/kG0 and then flash the rom.zip... This should work.

I wanted to try the official one, because it's up-to-date and because it's official (I think is more reliable, with respect for the RD one that is a good rom), and I still don't understand if RD-miui is v5...screenshots are miuiv4...
anyway, I'll wait for someone who had some experience with official builds...thanks
edit: ok, now...the problem is just one...touchscreen doesn't work!
I tried every single v5 official build! and I have always touchscreen not working....this is the only issue I have

you know that RD-MIUI is based on official? it's just made perfectly compatible with the HOX ....so you should flash only roms which are really made for HOX and especially from xda ...try RD-MIUI ...it is based on v5 but not latest v5 ..it's like a pre-version...

There is too many way to flash custom recovery. For that you can use my signature (there is a link for CWM).
And if you need to know about custom recovery then read these Tutorial - 1, Tutorial - 2, Tutorial - 3 or use search option on XDA.
fine

Mine was a clean stock 12.1 install first, then update applied from recovery to 13
Mine is working just fine, no problems to report at all..... hrmm so, I wonder what's different
http://s32.postimg.org/vz9j03dhx/Screenshot_20160429_190709.png
Me too that's exactly what I did load 12.1 by fastboot to ensure everything is overwritten
note super su stock dosn't work but the beta does
I'm I noob here and I don't understand what everybody's talking about here. From my understanding, a flashable COS13 zip is out in the open and works? How should I go about flashing it if I want to keep TWRP recovery? Do I have to do a clean install?

as far as I am aware there is NO COS 13 zip for the crackling, only this incremental update (ie an update from 12.1, so that needs to be installed as a base first and then the update flashed from recovery)
There is CM 13, both snapshots and nightlies that an be flashed from TWRP as ZIPs
TWRP an be flashed from fastboot whenever you like, so that shouldn't cause you any major concerns :good:

Personally I would ensure I have backed up, but in theory ..Yes, though if it were me.. I would, backup, wipe, flash stock recovery, update
I am afraid I can't answer fully, as I always flash clean...soz

Ok. Well, if I backup beforehand then I should be fine if anything goes wrong. One last question though, do I need stock recovery in order to flash the zip?
