Thats not my first time flashing roms , isnt flashing boot.img medatory for the rom to even boot
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 4
If you are restoring same or similar rom (same boot.img), you don't have to flash boot.img again

Hi,
I have viperx running on my HOX, I plan to back this up and try other roms.
The question is do I need to flash the boot.img in fastboot before I install a backup version of viperx or can I simply restore without flashing the boot.img.
I assume that if the boot.img is the same you can do this...
I was kinda hoping I could do what I did with the desire and have several roms backed up for whenever I need them.
Your backups will also have boot images in their folders. And unless you flash the exact same rom, you must flash the backup boot. Img from fastboot.

So if I flash the the boot .img for the Coredroid rom then flash coreDroid would I be then able to restore with cwm recovery the viperx rom without having to flash the boot.img for the viperx rom.
If both use the same kernel yes, otherwise you have to flash ViperX boot. Img in your backup directory from your pc using fastboot.

Ahhh I see, thanks, I really wanted to avoid using fastboot but never mind thanks all the same

Ok last question I promise, is tha boot.IMG the kernel, if so if I use the faux kernel will that suit most roms coredroid in particular
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
faux kernel is compatible with almost all the roms.
Give it a try and find out for your self. you can always return back to stock kernel.

i thought you had a nand backup, however that RUU isn't available yet so your only solution is to restore a nand backup as stated above

this one will be good... follow the guide i linked before if you don't know how to restore it
No i have a nand backup!! I will restore that

that's ok then
First install the stock rom completely, then the stock recovery.
I can flash the stock recovery by using the same procedure to flash the boot image of the backup???

Flashed the boot.img via fastboot ? Made a proper clean wipe before installing the new rom in recovery ?
Edit :

Which is firstly I was Flashing a rom in my phone, where i could flash boot.img successfully butlater when i was installing d rom from recovery it said installation aborted .When i rebooted the phone it freezes at the HTC bootscreen .Then I tried another rom but the same problem continued. Now when i want to go back to stock, i restored my backup but my phone is stuck over HTC bootscreen,I even flashed the stock boot.img. Now, I have no idea how do i proceed ahead:crying:
Please help me to get out of this.

And try again. Is your hboot high enough ? What's the number, you can check that in the bootloader.

Hboot is 1.73. And should i Change my recovery with urs link given above?
Well the one above flashes sense 5/aosp roms and kitkat roms. So you don't have to switch recoveries everytime !

Okay! Then what should i do nest sir? and another problem which i forgot to mention is recovery isnt mounting the sd card
Then use this recovery to mount
https://www.dropbox.com/s/yqzlpqo8illa53j/Philz recovery 5.15.9.img
And you can use this recovery for every rom except kitkat roms !
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
is there no way, which can give me my phone in working condition immaterial wheather will it be rooted or not later. Because i want to get out of this as soon as possible as my phone is stuck at boot screen since hours
Yeah flash philz 5.15 from my link, flash the boot.img from a sense 5 rom, make a full wipe and install the rom !
And if it bootloops you boot it into the recovery and let the battery charge in there, otherwise you will have another problem very soon !
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Okay:fingers-crossed:! So the procedure of flashing the recovery remains the same inspite having a recovery present in the system ?
Yes rename the file to recovery.img
Then flash :
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
is it necessary to install stock rom? or it is even fine with custom rom by philz recovery ?
You can use any custom rom you like, or indeed use the stock rom.
If you wish to restore your backup it's recommended to flash the boot.img and the recovery.img from the nandroid backup folder, make a full wipe and restore the backup

what do you mean exactly ? on the running software ? inside recovery ?
No.....I had kept my phones power down and left it over to charge but after a long time i noticed that charging sign which was not present before,but anyways it didnt boot ahead
I m flashing the recovery now as the phone is quite charged.
It shows assert failed : getprop and lot many things and finally gives installation aborted . Did it from philz Recovery.
What rom again ? Philz 5.15 only supports NON kitkat roms ! Any sense 5 rom should be flashed fine with that recovery. Otherwise take the TWRP i linked before !

It is inst mounting the sd card. Should i restore the backup by flashing the boot.img of stock rom? And secondly it shows something like this when I perform wipe dalvik cache.
