Q: Flashing Android Revolution HD 6.0.0 (1.29.401.11)

Hey guys I've just unlocked the bootloader on my HOX and installed CWM and rooted. I had a Galaxy S2 before so flashing roms was a bit different and before I end up bricking my my new phone, I just wanted to get some more info/confirmation as to what I (think) I know before flashing a new rom, Android Revolution. Hopefully this can help some other noobs.
I've downloaded the required files, the rom zip, the kernel bootimg and super wipe.
I have a FAIR GENERAL idea of the steps but I'd like to confirm here before damaging my device.
To my knowledge:
1) Place the rom zip on the internal SD card via USB cable as normal along with the super wipe zip.
2) Boot into the bootloader, enter fastboot and connect the phone via USB and open CMD from the same folder used to root it, with those files present. When CMD is opened enter fastboot devices to ensure the device is being detected and then flash the bootimg kernel using the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
3) (unsure of this step and following steps...) After flashing the bootimg via adb reboot the device and enter bootloader mode again and this time enter recovery.
4) In CWM, reset to factory settings (data wipe), clear cache, clear davlik and then flash the super wipe zip and finally flash the rom.
Those are the steps I know..and I've also read of a .bat file to execute the adb commands automatically but I don't know exactly how that works and I'm a bit scared to try it. I've done my research so please don't flame me for asking this, I'm just scared as hell to brick my new phone.
If someone has a clearer simpler list of steps please post them or please correct any errors I have there. Thanks in advance for the help guys

Making the bat file is very simple..I'll help you on fb if you want...Everything else looks good though...do you really need to connect to the pc every time you want to flash? 0_0

The bat file isn't an issue..once I have the correct commands (if someone can confirm that too it'd be appreciated ) I'm good. And yeah I think so because a kernel ..or bootimg can't be flashed in CWM cuz its S-On ..so anytime u need to flash a new rom I guess you'd have to flash the kernel for that Rom via fastboot.

HELP! messed up my rooting/installing custom roms

Hi, I rooted my One X and installed cyanogenmod 10, but i forgot to wipe before installing it, so that messed things up pretty bad. I tried wiping using clockwork recovery and it still didn't work, then i accidentally did a factory reset in the boot menu. so i think I messed things up big time. It was running the official JB update (android 4.1.1, sense 4+)
please help me out!

Boot to recovery and redo the whole thing (reflash the ROM.zip) ??

To flash another recovery version you flash it as if your flashing a kernel ...but by typing fastboot flash recovery recovery.img....and don't forget to rename the new cwm recovery you want to flash to recovery....

so i wiped it using recovery (data wipe, cache wipe) and installed some other ROM called cleanROM (http://www.scottsroms.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=289) but my phone keeps getting stuck at the HTC Quietly brilliant boot screen

Read up about the things u are gonna do first! :/

The stock one ......

You need to extract boot.img from rom.zip that you wanna flash.
Then put it on your fastboot folder and flash it using fastboot flash boot boot.img command. Then fastboot erase cache. Boot to recovery and flash your rom again.

And update the custom recovery, this indicates also that you might have old one !
Ow and if you want to flash files from recovery after you flashed the boot.img please UNHOOK the phone from the pc, it will see the file after doing that !!!
Update the recovery to 5.8.4.0 if you don't have that version
Then mount the sd card from recovery and copy the rom.zip
Copy the boot.img file from the rom.zip and place it in fastboot folder.
Put the phone in bootloader menu and flash the boot.img
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then go into recovery perform a factory reset and UNHOOK the cable from the phone and flash the rom.zip !

[Q] Stuck on the white htc logo :(

Hello to everyone.
I was having custom ICS rom, when I found out that there is OTA to JB for my HOX. So I reverted to stock using RUU method and got the OTA update. I had the stock JB rom. I made the nandroid backup and wanted to flash custom JB rom (ViperX Rom). I unlocked my bootloader again, got custom recovery (CWM 5.8.4.0). Then I flashed the boot.img from the rom's zip package and erased cache. I made a full wipe using CWM. Then, using recovery I flashed the custom rom (Viper). The whole process went without any problems, but after rebooting I got stuck oh the white htc logo.
Reverting to stock using my backup ended up on the white logo again. I cannot flash any rom (tried Sense and CM roms) coz every time I got that f...g white screen.
My bootloader is unlocked, hboot 1.36, S-ON model. Custom recovery (CWM 5.8.4.0). I've been trying for four days to get my HOX back to life.
Can anyone, please help me with that.

I don't know what's wrong with your phone, but if you just want to revert back to your backed up ROM, try flash boot from your backup first, and then restore backup. Or try reinstall RUU, maybe...

Die you use the right command for flashing the boot.img ?
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
and NOT
Fastboot boot boot.img ?

I tried to flash the stock boot.img before restoring backup - with no luck
I cannot reinstal RUU, coz I cannot find one, ie RUU 3.16.69.2 (if I am right).
@Mr Hofs
Yes, I used the proper command: fastboot flash boot boot.img and erased cache. It seems that I do everything right, but I still get the bootloop.

Oke, so now the bootloader is unlocked ?
Re-copy the boot.img file from the nandroid folder to the fastboot folder...just to be sure
Flash it with fastboot command and enter the recovery
Then
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced - wipe dalvik cache
Mounts & storage - format cache, data, system
Then restore the nandroid again !

2.17.69.2 - I have that RUU if that's what you mean

Yes but the ruu is crap because you already have the 1.36 hboot. Try this
Do a full wipe again and get your 2.17.69 nandroid from here

Restore it with its boot.img
Then flash back this 2.17 stock recovery

I cannot revert to stock recovery. I got an error: cannot load "recovery.img"
My command was fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. The file is in the fastboot folder.
When I was trying to get back to stock for the first time I also had that error. That is why I had to use the RUU to revert to stock.
What now?

did you rename my file to recovery.img ?

are you hiding extensions in windows for the filenames, so that it's not called

Ow yeah i see, what could be the problem here ?!
Does the nandroid work ? Except for the stock recovery ?
Try this ... enter the recovery and wipe the cache partition and dalvik cache ....
Then reboot into the bootloader
Adb reboot bootloader (works when you are in recovery)
Keep the phone there and reboot the pc and try again .....

[Q] Rooting problem

If this has been answered elsewhere I'm sorry but I can't find the answer. I've unlocked the bootloader on my HTC One X. Flashed Clockwork Mod and I can get in to recovery. I then tried to install Cyanogenmod from the SD card and that ran and said it had completed. But, when I reboot it sticks on the HTC quietly brilliant screen and goes no further! Any ideas if there is anything I can do other than go back. If I need to go back, where do I get the RUU? I'm in the UK and it says Hboot 1.38 if that helps on the Fastboot screen.
Spent 3 evenings now trying to root this phone. Not easy

When I've run the battery script to get some power back in later I'll try these and let you know how I get on. Thanks

Not working
Well none of the above suggestions worked! Can't mount the USB storage now to copy nandroid backup across, so I've relocked and am trying to get a RUU to try that!
Has anyone ever had these things sorted by a shop? Disappointed with myself for messing up but patience is running out now

Do you know what ruu to use ?
Fastboot getvar version-main
Is the command that will tell which ruu you need !
Otherwise try this :
Unlock the bootloader
Fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin
Then flash this recovery
http://db.tt/iXT4t3NH rename it to recovery.img
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then enter the recovery and mount as usb mass storage.

Depends on what you want. If you want the CM10.1 i would copy the vendors file to the sdcard too !
Make a full wipe, install the CM10.1.zip, install gapps.zip and then the vendors file. Then flash the boot.img with fastboot and reboot

You mean the CM10.1 right ? There is a vendors file that has to be installed after the rom otherwise it won't boot !
Edit.....opening post says it .....sorry
The vendors file is in the CM10.1 thread you need that too

Thank you for replying, can you just explain how? and what is the latest valid rom that I can get to my Desire HD?
Thank you again

http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5xVl2dBTnmI#

You have to extract the boot.img from the zip you are trying to flash inside the folder you have fastboot.Then you give the command fastboot flash boot boot.img to flash the new kernel.
You could also install 4EXT recovery and use smartflash as long as you are s-on.

Thanx a million for all.. I will try to do that today and will forward the results.
Thanx again

ONE QUESTION:
shall I connect the devise at the buginning or after flashinf the boot comand? and in what status the devise should be connected (fastboot or recovery)?
Another thing: as Im running windows, my PC is recognizing the device imidietly, so do I still hav to install any drive from htcdev ? and what drive is that ?
Sorry for that but as I said before, Im a little noob in this..
Thanx in advance..

OK, here are the results:
did the tutorial to the letter as in the link, everything went well till the end, after that I restarted the devise and simply it goes to recovery?
now everytime I restart the devise it goes to recovery automatically?

I told you to install 4ext if you like!
4ext is a recovery with the ability either you are S-ON or S-OFF user can flash for you any kernel you like with smart flash.
What you probably did was to flash this recovery as kernel for your device.If you want to install this recovery you have to install it to recovery partition using fastboot flash recovery {your recovery.img}.
If you want to make your rom working again you have to extract the boot.img file from the zip you was trying to install using recovery and you flash it manually using fastboot flash boot boot.img or you could use 4ext to flash it with smartflash but it would be better if you installed it first to the recovery partition (If you use 4ext now you probably have to make a full flash of your rom except if you find only the kernel in a zip or you have an older nandroid backup with the right kernel to restore).
** You have to enable smartflash only if you are S-ON.If you S-OFF your device you should disable this feature. **

Just extract the boot.img of the rom zip you was trying to install in the folder you have the fastboot and then install it using the command fastboot flash boot boot.img while you are in bootloader.
Don't be confused with 4ext.This is just a recovery like cwm.
