[Q] Flashing Blackout ROM Phone now just boots to Clockwork - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sorry to intrude guys but this is my first post so please be kind.
Since this happened i have searched these forums and now im more confused than ever so i am hoping someone can help me.
I have never done anything like this before so took the time to read up.
i unlocked the bootloader with HTCDEV, one i had done that i followed these instructions
Flashing roms with an unlocked bootloader
Unlock your bootloader and flash a custom recovery (CWM or 4ext)
Download the rom zip file you are willing to flash to your PC.
Extract the the boot.img from inside the zip file (do not extract the whole rom)
Put the zip file in your sdcard.
Boot into recovery and do a full wipe (wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, format system)
Flash rom (install zip from sdcard)
Reboot into bootloader again and plug the phone to the PC.
You need to be in fastboot usb (if you see HBOOT USB PLUG in the phone, just press power to toggle)
Open a cmd/terminal and navigate to where the boot.img file is located.
Type: fastboot flash boot boot.img
Reboot and now you should be enjoying your custom rom
the install of Blackout ICS ROM seemed to go ok, once i had flashed the boot.img in the last step i rebooted and now once past the HTC screen loads of lines appear on the screen which gradually fade and then it just reboots to Clockwork recovery.
I have tried to recover using the back up that was made and this makes no difference.
My phone isnt rooted and as i say im more confused as to my next step than ever

question about paranoidandroid

hello.
i just change my phone from galaxy s i9000 to htc one x and i'm loving it.
so i want to tried paranoidandroid but it didn't specified about the room working with hboot 1.3.6
i tried to install it, flash boot img and everything but then i got stuck at htc logo.
i've read the forum but non specified anything except that i can used the boot img in the rom file.
so if anyone can help to run paranoidandroid in my htc one x. all help will be appreciated.
1. download rom and gapps,transfer them to root of SD card
2. extract boot.img(the kernel) from ROM zip and place it in fastboot folder
3. go into bootloader, FIRST flash the boot.img in fastboot(does the screen say FASTBOOT USB when u connect the phone to the PC?)
4. go into recovery, then FULL WIPE-factory reset, erase cache and dalvik cache.
5. then flash the ROM.
6. boot into the rom.then again enter into recovery and then flash gapps.
do the above steps in the same order all over again....it SHOULD work..
You need a special boot.img for 1.36 hboot because of some compatibility issues.
well. i didnt find the special boot img to make it work with hboot 1.3.6

Congratulations, you're the third person this week using outdated guides and flashing ancient boot.imgs to their device.
You need to flash your stock boot.img. Get a stock nandroid backup here. Extract the boot.img from it and place it in your fastboot folder.
Flash it by typing
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
After that, confirm that your phone boots.
Now root by installing a custom recovery and flashing supersu.zip. Get CWM here. Place it to your fastboot folder.
Flash it by typing
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
and
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Go to recovery and do a nandroid backup of the stock ROM. Copy it over from /sdcard/clockworkmod/ to a safe place like your pc.
Next, flash supersu to root: Download supersu here. Place it on your sdcard.
Then flash it in recovery "install zip from sdcard" -> "choose zip from sdcard"
Now you should be rooted!

[Q] help flashing MIUI, my first rom flash

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.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
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?

read this post. at least twice!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069904 do not do the "unlock bootloader" section as you already did that
@nogotaclue sorry i read so many, and some of them sayed that root was not necessary if you flash a new rom, other sayed it could still be necessary... now i rooted with the app and did a new backup that i'm coping on PC
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
after root, with the same steps, the ROM starts... but
touch screen is not working :crying:
now i'm gonna look arond to see if i found some post about that
this (kernel patch) solved my last issue

[Q] HELP! Cant flash Roms

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.

[Q] Sony Z1 Compact - CWM-based Recovery v6.0.5.1 - BLACK SCREEN

I really need help. I'm a noob at this. I was trying to install CyanogenMod on my Z1 compact. I was following this guide; "wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_amami" It went well after some trying. Got all the way to step 9! When I pressed Reboot system now nothing happened. The Sony logo game for some seconds, then the screen went black. I know the phone is on 'cause I can see that it is light-black, if you know what i mean. I thaught maby it would take i while. But it stayed like this for 5 hours. Nothing happens.. When I turn it off and on again, I can press the voume rockers and it takes me to the CWM-based Recovery v 6.0.5.1 page where i can do some stuff, but I'm stuck here. Please help me! Dont know what to do. Is there a way to factory-reset the phone back to Anroid? Sorry for being so noob. Need a noob friendly guide on how to fix this
Use the guides and files from this forum instead. Did you flash the CM kernel in fastboot?
at least you can boot into cwm. did you place cyanogenmod zip on your sd card?

"Open a terminal on the PC and enter the following:

- again sorry, these last 14 hours is the only experience i have with rooting etc. flash means install right?

i used this "adb push cm.zip /sdcard/0/" - and I checked now. The files is there still yes. Btw, in panic I've "wipe data/facotry reset". Dont know if this matters
"fastboot flash boot boot.img" flashes only the cwm (and kernel). wipe data/factory reset is ok, no harm done (at least now, as you want clean partitions at this point anyway).
so if your zips are on the sdcard via step 8, boot into cwm, navigate to
- install zip (swipe down, swipe right to enter)
- choose zip from /sdcard
- 0/
now you end up on your sdcard. find your zip and run the install. if you copied gapps zip too, install that zip after flashing the rom, and that's it.

Yes install, I prefer to flash the kernel in fastboot then flash the zip.

Yes I've come this far. Now I have installed the file i had at the sdcard. "installation complete!" "Good Apps for Android 4.3.3" it says.
Now ive found the cm-11-20140922-NIGHTLY-amami.zip and installed it via sideload.
"opening adbd...
finding update package..
opening updage package.
installing update..."
Dont know how long this take, doesnt say its finished, but i can navigate through the menu at the top, does this means it finished? what to i do now to get i work? just "reboot system now"?

yes. reboot. see what happens. you should boot into cm already.
you didn't need using so much adb, it's all doable via cwm (except initial flashing of boot.img which is cwm itself).
next time: just download the zip, reboot into recovery, flash the zips there and reboot. it's that simple you don't need to wipe anything between flashing nightlies, but you do between nightlies and M build - or if you migrate to some other aosp/aokp/kang rom. anyhow, have fun.
You want to instal cm right? But do you know that you need to unlocked your bootloader to install any other rom than stok right? So if tou want to have CM you must unlock your bootloader
