I never use anything but stock kernels (its the best for me) so i cant tell you about overclocking..you really dont need to on this beast of a phone....
NOTE: if you ever root your phone and it gets dropped or something just flash the stock files and you can send it into service and it will be fine.
Here is a simple tutorial. (you can find more detail by googleing it)
1. (sorry i forgot) set up ADB - google it...its long
1. Unlock bootloader (this will wipe everything) - "fastboot oem unlock"
2. put the 4.0.4 update.zip on the sd card.
3. flash cwm recovery (using the toolkit or fastboot - "fastboot flash recovery PUT_NAME_HERE.img when you are in fastboot (all keys together till vibrates)
4. reboot into recovery (after flashing it it will stay at the menu...use volume keys to get "recovery mode" to show up at the top then power to select it.
5. flash the zip.
6. reboot (you will lose cwm recovery)
7. lock the bootloader - "fastboot oem lock" in fastboot
8. your done..stock 4.0.4..not rooted...still get support.

1- no. root = administrator/superuser acess in nix-based systems, like it was supposed to be, in our point of view. there are several kinds of wipe (cache, dalvik, userdata).
2- http://source.android.com/source/building-devices.html - check "Building fastboot and adb"
3- http://source.android.com/source/building-devices.html - check "Booting into fastboot mode" and "Unlocking the bootloader"
4- benchmarks aren't everything..

its not complex at all (even for you)
you don't need baseband and kernel (yes they are different) but you don't need to worry about that (when you flash the file it will do that for you)
just follow the instructions here: (or my post) and you should be fine...(credit to kangxi)
Change to update.zip and flash through stock recovery or CWM *STOCK CDMA NEXUS ONLY*
*02/05 update*
For those having issues, try flashing it with CWM using the toolkit in the dev section.
http://www.mediafire.com/?l1wxw3exb9195w7
Root not required but bootloader must be unlocked
1. Download the toolkit
2. Put your phone into fastboot mode
3. Open the toolkit
4. Choose the option to "Boot into Clockwork Mod without permanently flashing it"
5. Once in CWM, choose install from SD card
6. Choose install "update.zip" if you renamed it to that. Otherwise, choose the option to choose the file.
7. Viola!
JUST TO BE CLEAR YOU NEED THE VERIZON VERSION!!!!

Its just a kernel made by a guy called Franco...if you don't know what it is NY recommendation is to just leave it.alone...you don't need that for the 4.0.4 from tow rock..
so just leave it alone...hope this helps and isnt too pate..
As u may see in below i have been trying all the roms past this month and i learnt this,

Steps for getting into the Bootloader and Recovery
First:Hold Power and Vol+ at the same time whille the phone is powered off
Second;Thats It!ur into the boot loader
Third:for getting into fastboot (use vol + and - to use the list) get into fastboot and plug the usb

IF I Have missed any flashing tutorial just PM me
gonna maintain this thread
Great TUT
One thing., I would strongly advise to have a full boot before flashing mods....
that depends..u can basically flash them because its just a push of files to /system
You may want to check the spelling of some of your commands. It should be 'fastboot erase cache' and not 'fastboot erase cahe' as you have written. Not a biggy, but may prevent some posts saying it didn't work.
Thanks!ClydeB1
Maybe add slightly more detailed steps, since I'm assuming that this is aimed at people who are having a go at flashing for the first time?
Like after "go to recovery" add [Hold power and volume down button] or after "flash the rom" add [select 'install zip from sdcard' then 'choose zip from sd card', then select your ROM]
Not a criticism! Just a suggestion to prevent posts asking how to get into recovery etc.
I will do that craigavonite sure
Rom:ARHD 7.2.2
KERNEL:FAUX 005B1
I will brief them by tommorow
And add up flashing each mods
Rom:ARHD 7.2.2
KERNEL:FAUX 005B1
Updated for paranoid Android
Added lines for getting into recovery thanks to craigavoite
any other guides which u guys wanna implement?
Any Flashing problems can ask any doubt to me
I flashed all ROMs with one same way..everytime..lol..
I don't think wiping SD card is needed every time.
One X to rule them all.

Hi i'm looking to flash my 1st rom (Renovate) on my new X and looking at this as a novice to flashing could you expand on these steps please?
More 1 & 2 really. Where do I transfer the files to & What do you mean go to fastboot? With the 3rd i assume you mean in the command console in 3? I'm not being picky i'm just trying to show up any steps that a total novice could get stuck on, like me

Common Terms/Android Slangs
a small guide on some of the android terms my Diablo67
Bootloader:This small program's only job is to load other data and programs which are then executed from RAM.Often, multiple-stage boot loaders are used, during which several programs of increasing complexity load one after the other in a process of chain loading.
Fastboot:A diagnostic protocol used primarily to modify the flash filesystem in Android smartphones from another computer over a USB connection. It is part of the Android Debug Bridge library.
Utilizing the Fastboot protocol requires that the device be started in a boot loader or Second Program Loader mode in which only the most basic hardware initialization is performed. After enabling the protocol on the device itself it will accept any command sent to it over USB via a command line. Some of most commonly used fastboot commands include:
•flash - Overwrites a partition in flash with a binary image stored on the host computer.
•erase - Erases a partition in flash.
•reboot - Reboots the device into the either the main operating system or the system recovery partition.
•devices - Displays a list of all devices (with Serial #) connected to the host computer.
Flashing:The ROM memory used in smartphones and tablets etc. is often same as flash memory found in SD cards and USB flash drives, simply optimized for better speed and performance while running the operating system.
Kernel:A kernel is a layer of code that allows the OS and applications to interface with your phone's hardware. The degree in which you can access your phone's hardware features depends on the quality of code in the kernel. The homebrew (rooting) community for HTC has made several kernel code improvements that give us additional features from our hardware that the stock kernel does not. When you flash a custom ROM, you automatically get a kernel. But you can also flash a standalone kernel ROM on top of the existing one, effectively overwriting it. These days, the difference in custom kernels is less about new features and more about alternate configurations. Choosing a custom kernel is basically choosing one that works best with your ROM.
Nandroid:To backup the current running rom.
Recovery Mode:A small separate operating mode you can boot your device into, used for device administration. Two popular custom recovery modes are Amon Ra and Clockwork.
Basic Requirements
1.A Boot-unlocked and Rooted HTC One V
2.Charge it till above 75% battery
2.A PC(this guide is for now only for windows)

Flashing The Kernel[MAC] by kalaker
kalaker said:
Go developer.android.com and download the SDK & move it to your home directory ("~" or /Users/<username>)
Go to <sdk-location>/tools and launch "Android"
Download the platform tools
Open terminal
Open Finder to <sdk-location>/platform-tools
In terminal, type "sudo cp"; drag adb from the Finder window into the Terminal window; type "/usr/bin/"; hit enter
Enter your password
Repeat the above three steps, but drag "fastboot" instead of "adb"
Close terminal
Open terminal (it sounds weird, but just do it)
Now, and forever, do this to install a kernel:
Download kernel
Connect phone to computer
Make sure USB Debugging is enabled (Settings>Development>USB Debugging)
In terminal, type "adb reboot bootloader"
In terminal, type "fastboot flash boot"; drag in the kernel from finder; hit enter
Examples:
Code:
sudo cp /Users/Username/android-sdk-mac/platform-tools/adb /usr/bin/
sudo cp /Users/Username/android-sdk-mac/platform-tools/adb /usr/bin/
adb reboot recovery
fastboot flash boot /Users/Username/Downloads/boot.img

First boot takes some time have patience......be sure to ask questions or doubts
Ok For people who have already flashed a ROM and are confused how to upgrade it
Upgrading ROM
1.download your needed ROM
2.put in SD card
3.boot into recovery
4.no need to wipe everything,wipe caches(and if the dev says to full wipe do it)
5. (Unless u come from a different ROM eg.From Amazing Sense To CM10, in this case a factory reset i needed
6.flash the ROM
7.reboot
8.flash GAPPS
9. enjoy
Upgrading KERNEL
1.boot in bootloader
2.do the required steps(as mentioned above)
3.wipe caches
5.enjoy
Stuck in Bootloops, Cant Pass the HTC welcome Screen
ok, calm down, everyone has this problem while flashing, i get it so many times, they can cause by the following reasons
bad flash
wrong rom
you forgot to flash the kernel
wrong kernel
messed up the order in flashing
ok,
1.Bad flash-this occurs if the .zip file is corrupted
solution:= re flash the ROM, if still no, download the file again and try
2.wrong ROM- u may have downloaded a ROM that is not for ur device or a ROM which is of not ur description
for example u might me a PRIMO C device/CDMA and u downloaded a PRIMO U/GSM ROM
3.Wrong Kernel-Kernel is the link between ur software and hardware, if u flash the wrong one like the case mentioned above , download the correct one and re flash
4.[ FLASHING YOUR KERNEL SHOULD BE THE LAST STEP][UNLESS U HAVE A S-OFF DEVICE]
Ok Some Tips Which May Help You
1.Battery Draining fast?
-----get an app called BetterBatteryStats,run it over night.then next morning open it and check whats waking your device

to clarify, step 6: "flash" should be edited to say " install ROM from zip" to avoid the "flash" misconception associate with flashing kernels:good:
more detailed work should be there.. like you said install cwm or twrp.... give a link to where they are embedded in the words will be good...
and the above goes for the flashing rom part also...embed the link to the dev section
make it easy and tidy instead of all those ugly looking clutters you did

Yeah, you could try creatign sub sections, like thinigs to have before swap, then steps after that. Eg in step 1 you say
>>Now enter Fast boot(power button +volume DOWN(for 15 + sec))<<<
and
1.Flash CWM 6 by lloir
or TWRP 2.3.1.0 ill recommend TWRP
>>PRIMO C /CDMA click here<<
To flash recovery HOPE U HAVE THE FAST BOOT FILES(IF NOT click here download them and put in a folder in c drive
example c:\fastboot

First you mention the ROM, then out of the blue you mention recovery. ROM should be introduced after a nand backup. You should also explain in short what a nand backup is. A sentence with an analogy is sufficient. I am a software developer and I would like to share a rule that I follow: If you need to add a comment in your code, that means the code is not readable. In the same way, when you mention something in bracket, it itself means that the sentence is no clear, and need rephrasing and rewording.
Dont get me wrong, I am not trying to insult or berate or anything, but I got it read by a friend who wants to flash his One V, and he got back to me with more questions than the guide answered. There a some step holes in the guide, and you have to write is as if you are a noob
Lastly, thanks a lot, this particular guide and your answers have been really helpful to me and the community.
Cheers!
now ill consider that! hard being a noob!

In the same way, when you mention something in bracket, it itself means that the sentence is no clear, and need rephrasing and rewording.
Dont get me wrong, I am not trying to insult or berate or anything, but I got it read by a friend who wants to flash his One V, and he got back to me with more questions than the guide answered. There a some step holes in the guide, and you have to write is as if you are a noob
Lastly, thanks a lot, this particular guide and your answers have been really helpful to me and the community.
Cheers!

how about now, noob friendly enough?
Yup, pretty cool! If there was a way to thank again..
ty!! please keep the recomendations coming!
Ok firstly this may seem a bit confusing, I am copying this from a PM i sent to @wedgess
Hi, I am wondering if you would be able to make a bootable recovery image with TWRP as i have no idea how to do it and i can only find CWM ones which requires signature for "--update_package="
I don't want a kernel and i don't want a cwm image but i want just simple a TWRP recovery.img which is bootable like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1493996 but TWRP instead
Your kernel's work fine but i need it to boot a recovery.img then flash the new rom via "--update_package=" and then reboot device.
For more information check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2391169
I hope you can help, Thanks.
-------------------------------
TWRP works great with both the last 2 options so i need to some how create a bootable recovery img based on TWRP but i don't have a clue about kernel development... Could i maybe replace ramdisk with existing bootable recovery or something?
-------------------------------
So to put it simply, I need to switch out CWM on this recovery.img and put TWRP on it (The reasons for this are complicated to explain but i would be extremely thankful if any one could help and credit will be giviven)
So please can any one help me Thanks.
Sorry I didn't reply to your final PM as I said due to real life and limited time I cannot do it for you, But happy to help assisting you if needed. Championswimmer has a tutuorial on what to change in the device tree for TWRP. Search function is down ATM so I can't link you to the thread.

Yeah no worries, Decided to ask any one else, As i really don't have the time to do this aswell as all the other stuff im doing. And it will take some one with experience a lot less time.
I tried switching out the /sbin folder but it didn't work and i didn't expect it to
I am hoping to find some 1 with a linux enviroment all sorted as i don't have a clue when it comes to kernels. surely there is a simple way to switch out a prebuiilt CWM Recovery with a TWRP recovery? Do you know what files TWRP and CWM use?
Thanks.
Altenatively any ideas on what needs to be changed to boot it to recovery always? if so i could modify a existing TWRP kernel (yours for example) and then force it to recovery.
EDIT
I assume you meant this guide?
PORT TO STOCK/ICS/YOU-FAVOURITE-KERNEL
A boot.img consists of the kernel image and the ramdisk (additionally and optionally RPM.bin and commandline). If you want to use TWRP for some other kernel, you have to do this
1. decompile this boot.img (for 2011 models it's a true boot.img, for 2012 models, it's actually a kernel.elf file renamed to boot.img, so you have to decompile accourdingly. you can use my kernel kitchen to do the same)
2. replace the kernel zImage with the one from the kernel you want to port to
3. replace /sbin/ramdisk.cpio with the "UNCOMPRESSED" ramdisk of the kernel you want to port this to. (usually ramdisk is compressed with gzip i.e. ramdisk.cpio.gz. you need to uncompressed ramdisk image i.e. ramdisk.cpio)
4. do not touch anyother thing
5. pack it up into a boot.img (for 2011) or kernel.elf (for 2012) and fastboot it
@wedgess ok so i got it working it now auto boots to TWRP but ADB isn't working, Any ideas?
Thanks so much i got it all working that guide helped
I am curious of what you are trying to do...
As i understand you want:
-flash (only) twrp recovery in fastboot mode
-reboot to recovery and flash rom from pc (adb sideload maybe?)
-reboot to fastboot again to flash kernel
-reboot
If i understand correctly you want to flash ROM (and kernel) from PC side, not dong it from phone?

ok this is what happens
1. Download rom and kernel from my kitchen via helper application on windows
2. verifiy md5's
3. fastboot fllash new kernel
4. fastboot boot "recovery.img"
5. once in the new bootable recovery i created/edited, send adb command "adb shell" > recovery --update_package=ROM
6. wait for rom to install, reboot
7. DONE! new rom and kernel flashed
All done automagically and without any user interaction other than picking the rom.

Thanks current released version is quite buggy but new version coming soon
Any way since this problem is now solved, I will close the thread. if you want to discuss this then post on my kitchen thread or pm me
Hello All,
I haven't updated to 10 yet, and with the new Sept release and patches I think I'm ready to make the leap.
From my reading, it looks like TWRP isn't ready yet for Crosshatch and 10. I'm just curious how to accomplish a few things it looks like people are able to do. I'm a bit old school, so I pretty much still flash everything in TWRP. If you could help clarify a few things, that would be great.
I still use root for a few items, so Magisk is a must. A few of these things include:
- Magisk (obv)
- Viper4Android (must)
- Active Edge
- Youtube Vanced
- Root File Explorer
- Titanium Backup (not sure how much I'll really use this any more, seems to be fading away)
- Kirisakura Kernel
- CF.lumen (must)
What are the steps I'll need to take to achieve this on 10, or do I still need to wait for TWRP to be released?
I will be doing a complete wipe and install on my way to 10, fwiw.
I know the steps fairly well when TWRP is involved, I have the factory image downloaded, Android studio is updated, I just don't know where to start, because I typically fastboot the factor image, then fastboot TWRP, then install magisk & Kernel, then install TWRP permanently, and then begin to set everything up.
What does this look like without TWRP?
Thanks!
Like you said, fastboot the factory image, with or without a wipe (-w). Then fastboot flash a Magisk patched boot.img.
For anyone who does not plan to wipe, disable all Magisk module(s) before starting as a precaution to one of them causing a bootloop.
You can use Magisk manager to patch the boot.img pulled from the factory package before starting this process. Just make sure to be on at least Magisk v19.4 to be compatible with Android 10. Instructions how to patch are at Magisk documentation - boot image patching.
NOTE: the instructions for actually flashing the patched_boot.img are not exactly right for our device. The steps I take are
1) flash the factory image.
2) Reboot and make sure everything is working, do the initial setup.
3) reboot to bootloader
4) "fastboot getvar current-slot" which tells me which slot I'm currently booting
5) fastboot flash the patched boot.img to the current slot as returned in step 4
5a) fastboot flash boot_a /path/to/magisk_patched.img
Or
5b) fastboot flash boot_b /path/to/magisk_patched.img
Any other zip package I need to flash, or would have flashed in TWRP, I reboot to system and use Franco or Ex kernel mangers (i'm actually using Franco). That bit of information was recently passed to me, but I can't remember who it was. Thanks anyway [emoji4]

Awesome, thanks for the detailed steps. Pretty sure EX Kernel has had some issues with Android 10 and flashing of .zips, at least recently and that people have been using Franco. I'll grab a patched.img and after my data backs up, rock and roll.
Thanks!
