hi all, i'm coming from a desire s wich have s-off,
with HOX the things is different, with unlocked device & s-on we need to flash the dear "boot.img" ,my question is :
do whe have flash the img after or before flashing modules?(*.zip) because i've read many topic but for example in cyanogen post we have to flash zip and after the boot.img ,but in the ARHD we have to do the opposite.
there is a general rule? or it simply varying depending on the rom?
regards ^^

i used ARHD and , first i flashed the rom and then i rebooted to bootloader and then flashed the boot.img.
I've read somewhere that in this case you may have issues...mmmm...do you use the latest version of arhd?
You can flash the boot.img before or after flashing the modules.. Your choice.. Whatever suits you..
But I always prefer to flash it after flashing the modules.

Download root checker from Google play and check. If u can boot into recovery, u can flash ROMs if ur unlocked via HTCdev. And remember: Always flash boot.img extracted from the .zip file of the ROM before flashing or before first boot, otherwise u will get bootloop/stuck on splashscreen.

BTW, trust me on this as i ve tried 8 roms in past 5 days. charmeleon wins over leedroid. there are more tweaks and better battery life in charmeleon by a long run. ALSO, match any rom with faux, instant 3+ hour screen through a whole day moderate usage. BE SURE TO UNDERVOLT～ happy flashing, and may the bricks stay away from you.

First off, sorry for posting here, I'd like to post in the actual rom thread but I don't have 10 posts yet.
I've installed the avatar rom, its getting to the custom splash screen and then freezing.
This is normally a boot.img problem.
The thing is just I've updated my HBoot to 1.39 and I don't know what boot.img files are compatible.
I've flashed several boot.img files from various roms I've used before, but none seem to be working.
The last comment in the avatar thread is this :
If you're on the new hboot you need a special boot.img that is everywhere on the forums.

Does anybody have any idea where I can find this boot.img that is everywhere on the forums?
Because I can't find it....
You just flash the boot image from within the Rom zip file?
I do that with every other Rom I've tried. I have no idea if/why that Rom requires a special boot.img.

Because some ROMs are incompatible with newer hboots.
@OP
See attachment. I am assuming that a modded boot for CM10 does the trick since Avatar is heavily based on CyanogenMod. Let me know if it works.
You must always use the boot.img supplied in ROM.zip. If you flash ROM A and then use boot.img from ROM B, it ain't going to work.
At the moment you need a special boot.img with nearly all 4.1.x AOSP ROMs, with a new hboot version. With 4.2.x ROMs you don't need any tinkering just flash and go.
Thanks for the modded boot.
Yes dude.
It works.
You awesome genius bastard you.
My pleasure!
It might be worth noting that GPS is broken with this boot. No workaround yet, you need to flash an Android 4.2 ROM if you really need to use it.
Haha dude, spent 3 hours trying to get this ONTO my phone.
I think it'll stay for at least a day or two...
Thanks again.
I need help to recover
Hi,
I am new to rooting, I've unlocked my HTC One X, and have backed up the stock rom through the recovery nandroid, I've flashed the Renovate 1.1 ROM, then I've decided to go back to stock ROM, when I've done it I would be stuck on Airplane mode, and this happened when I first tried to flash the renovate without flashing the boot.img that comes with it...when I've flashed the boot.img the problem is solved...so now I need help getting the boot.img file for the backed up stock rom...any ideas where I can start from?

Hi,
Ive done a quick search and cannot find a straight answer, i dont own HTC one x but need to modify a friends phone. as far as im aware they have a custom 4.1 rom and CWM etc.
Do i need to flash boot.img for every rom regardless of what it says on the post? some dont mention it... just want to be sure!

If the rom uses stock kernel, then no but you may lose ram disk tweaks for that rom.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Basically, Yes. If you switch over to a different ROM you have to flash the new boot image. Sometimes the boot image is also updated with a new version of a ROM in that case you have to flash the new Boot Image too.
You can install rom without flash boot.img only if you device is S-Off.
If your are S-On, you have to flash boot.img everytime you install a new rom.
I have a Desire S-Off and i can flash which rom i want without flash boot.img.
For my Sensation XE, it's the same.
For my HOX, i have to flash everytime i change my rom.

No. No. No.
Some or most kernels and ROM's for the OneX are NOT set up to flash the boot.img in recovery precisely because there is no method to S-Off the phone. Devs have simply stopped implementing the method. I have no idea which ones can and cannot so err on the side NONE can and you cannot go wrong.
Always flash, in fastboot, the given boot.img for every ROM is the general basic rule.

If both roms are using stock kernel and on the same base and you don't mind losing the roms ram disk tweaks you really don't need to flash.
Same if you are using a custom kernel.
So long as the kernel/base match you would just need to flash the modules.

If you use Android 4.2.2 with sense 5, you only flash boot.img one time and flash any rom except Alex-V's rom. Because still now, all sense 5 rom using stock kernek
If you flash cm, you must flash boot.img every time you flash difference rom
if your device already s-off and super-cid you flash rom normal no need flash boot.img except some rom not allow flash boot.img in update-script
Thanks all!

Thanks for all the replies guys, given me a better insight to the method i should take with this phone when i get hold of the phone ill analyse the rom currently on there. i think its 4.1 with sense so ill do more homework and figure it out!:cyclops:
Hi Forum!
A question, as I like to flash the 4.2.2 sense roms, each one says you need to flash a boot.img with each rom, even though each rom contains a boot.img too, are these all the same? i mean can i just use one boot.img file in my fastboot folder work on each sense rom?
Also when I change roms, do i need to flash a boot.img each time? (bearing in mind, I only use the sense roms
You need to flash the boot image that is included with each Rom, they are all specific to the Rom you are flashing. And yes you need flash the boot image every time you change roms

From what I have understood while lingering around XDA is, that the boot.img file is the kernel and you need to flash it (every time you change ROMs) in fastboot (because our phones are S-ON we can't just simply flash the ROM zip and be done).
So, flash the ROM zip, then fastboot flash the boot.img from a PC (remember to fastboot erase cache too).
You mean S-ON .... ^^

Does the ordering matter? In this ROM it is stated to flash the boot.img first and then the ROM:

Thanks bosas200 now i will try this kernel ^_^
bosas200 i had installed first the next kernel and after lonelyX but when the phone bootup the phone (for both kernels) the data doesn't work and if i check in settings the baseband is unkown why ???? now i had restored the bakcup who i maked of the stock sense ...
Always make a backup before flashing! You need to flash it with recovery and extract boot.img and flash it through bootloader
boasas200 sorry for everything but i'm really really a noob for htc modding now i'm looking who i had only unlocked the bootloader but i'm arleady s-on so if i flash a kernel or rom i need to flash on the cmd the .img file???? so what is the command to flash the kernel on the fastboot ????? thanks a lot and sorry for disturb
Search in hox android development thread for thunders htc one x toolkit v2.3 and everything will be easier for you. I use it so i dont need to type those commands
the last one thing when i restore a nandroid backup the kernel comes back to stock ???? thanks for all bosas200
No you need to flash boot.img from rom you are restoring again. No problem i hope i helped you
sorry if i make a lot of question but i don't want to make some of wrong with my htc so now i have the htc one x original rom on now i make a backup of this than i install the kernel on the custom recovery and than flash the kernel with toolkit or cmd but if tomorrow i want to return to stock kernel what i need to do ? only restore the nandroid ???? or i need to make a backup of the current kernel.img ? if the answer at this question is yes what can i do this ????
When you restore nandroid backup you need to flash backuped boot.img. if i restore backup from cm12 to ARHD so i flash arhd boot.img after restore
But in what method can I make a backup of original boot.img????
It is already in the backup folder ???
Its made by recovery and its in recovery folder but you need to flash it manualy through adb. I personaly just extract boot.img from rom zip file and flash it with toolkit
thanks for all bosas200 you like more the lonelyx kernel or the next kernel ???
