Boot loop on HTC ONE X (international version)

I've been looking around a lot and I'm seriously to the point where I'm totally confused, I have my friend's HTC ONE X (international version) where we followed Hsasoon2000's tool kit (which also uses htcdev website) to unlock the boot loader and it apparently did and everything was good but when we tried to install the CM10 rom for jellybean using his toolkit the phone got into this "boot loop" and we can't figure how to fix it.. we can get to the bootloader.. where if we select recovery it takes us to this "team win recovery project" thing and gives us several options but .. we are pretty new to this and we don't want to screw this even more. We also tried to clear the cache and it didn't work. Through the team win recovery project I can mount USB storage and get to the phone's files, if this helps somehow.. can any of you guys help please?? WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT

The problem is the HOX doesn't accept the boot.img from the zip file you downloaded..... which means you need to find the CM10 rom thread and download the boot.img for that rom, flash that first through the bootloader, then flash the rom. You'll be good to go then.
Hope that helps.

There are lots of such information in the net or xda. But in short:
0. Put the CM10 zip in your sd card.
1. You probably need the recovery (have a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594819)
2. As said you need to flash the boot.img manually. The easiest is to download Android Revolution HD boot.img zip. (go Android Development section to look for the thread). Extract the boot.img from CM10 and put it in the ARHD boot.img zip (inside fastboot sub directory IIRC, replace that boot.img-- **must**). Follow his instruction. If you want to learn more, read his script; very straight-forward.
3. Boot into recovery and choose to install CM10 zip you put in your SD.

It's easier to conect the phone to the pc and do adb command from the dosprompt - location fastboot folder
Adb restart bootloader
It will bring you straight to the bootloader :thumbup:

I did not. I think this phone is a clone. Do you know how to find out?

Try to enter the bootloader menu, hold the volume down & the power button together and wait until the phone restarts and enters the bootloader menu
It has all sorts of info there

you need to revert back to stock there are no kernels that will work with jb yet mate as the source code hasn't been released. hopefully you have backed up? if so go to the cwm folder on your phone, get the boot.img, flash it through fastboot and restore your system

Thanks mate yep in theory but not sure how u revert back to ics from jb

You can flash an ics rom on the higher hboots, no problem (at least not with sense roms) and use the custom kernels too. If you want a fully stock ics rom you can check your cid and download a matching ics nandroid backup from the nandroid collection in the general forum (the thread from matt95)
Just restore it and you will have a custom "stock" rom on your higher Hboot.....

[Q] Correct Boot.img For HBoot 1.39?

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?

[Q] Problems flashing roms

hi guys
im having problems in flashing many roms
these are some information about my phone
Build: 3.14.401.31
Hboot: 1.36.000
CID: HTC_101
RECOVERY : TWRP v.2
i was able to flash roms as Android revolution, viper, blade, ordroid
but i failed with these roms
Sky Dragon v.16.2 Ultimate - phone restarts repeatedly
airplane mode it's in "turning off" so there is no signal on:
MIUI; Orio; Insertcoin
force close of android process:
Sentinel Rom; CyanogenMod; Ice cold jelly; Slim beam; Nik Project
Paranoid Android - phone stucks on boot screen
those roms should work on my phone as hboot version is supported. Why all these problems?

Is your install procedures correct.
Flash the boot.img, make a FULL wipe and install the rom.....i know its basic but safe to ask first

Mr Hofs said:

yes, i always use these procedures.
I had a desire hd and, because of the s-off, things were much practical. Thought i was ignoring checking something important, but wasn't able to understand what..
ps. i apologize for my bad english

Can't think of the missing link yet. I know that the miui roms often needs a different boot.img to boot correctly. The others should easily work.....
Did you checked the MD5 sums from the roms that didn't boot ?

yes, for some of them i checked.
Tried changing even the recovery but it didn't work. Actually i have this problems since i unlocked the phone (december). But a the time i read that aosp roms wasn't compatible with the new hboot versions, so i never saw this as a real problem untill a few weeks ago..

There is an hboot update to 1.39 maybe that will help on the errors

What is not working ? Give me more info

just tried to flash a few aosp roms but, when they boot, it repeatedly says process com.android.phone force close. Instead Paranoidandroid remain stuck on the boot screen
basically the same problems that i had with hboot 1.36

Probably a Rom issue i guess !

I don't know Hofs, it's very strange. We're talking about different roms. As far as i searched i found a very little number of persons with some of those issues and they were able to solve the problem just trying to reflash the roms (maybe because their problem was just a bad download).
Downloading another rom from the list of the not working ones, let's hope it works
Edit. Skydragon doesn't work either

i apologize for the double post
it is normal that after giving the command "fastboot boot boot.img" the device automatically restarts?

Yes because its
Fastboot flash boot boot.img

Q:recovery touch not working after ota

hy guys
I was back to stock due to warranty, after that touch screen in recovery not working anymore.
I can't use cwm because of that, but I can use twrp and go through menus with volume buttons, but when try to install rom, touch also doesn't work in aroma.
what is the problem for that
-relocking the bootloader or ota update on next base ?
-or maybe hboot should be same as unlocking the bootloader?
-should I try to unlock bootloader again to get a different unlock-code.bin
can't find answer for that does anyone knows what causes this and how to repair it?
Thanx

A stock recovery is not touch based ! Only custom recoverys are, at least the latest ones.
What base are you officially on now
Fastboot getvar version-main
That will give the base version number. Unlock the bootloader and flash this recovery and all touch features should be back. Also in aroma

Depends on what you want to do ? Are you full stock now.....do you want custom roms ?
This recovery works on the latest official hboots with updated touch drivers. Its a cwm recovery but more advanced.
