Help please, New with HTC

I come from the SGAce forums where flashing is just download-and-flash method and now I wanna try the HTC One X and use ARHD Rom (used it on my friend's Gnexus) And I really don't know what to do! It's just too complicated for me
My bootloader is already unlocked and it's only a test phone I borrowed cause I'm not sure what to buy yet
If anyone can help Here as well as ow to flash the rom and the .bat file
THANK YOU A LOT

First you need unlock bootloader to flash custom recovery. Follow this guide for example how to do it.
After recovery, make a backup of your current rom.
After backup, download ARHD 5.1.0 and superwipe script to your sdcard, after you got them both flash boot.img from ARHD thread. (Download this & run "install-boot.bat") This is mandatory because without S-OFF one can't flash boot.img from recovery, and without boot.img flashed one can't boot their device or it won't work properly.
Then to the basic flashing process, boot to recovery and flash superwipe script and afterwards flash ARHD and you're good to go!
BTW, you don't need to flash firmware files

Download the boot.img from ARHD thread, it has instructions inside

stuck on HTC quietly brilliant screen :(

I have just tried to do a restore from a backed up rom using recovery and it wont go past the HTC logo screen.
I have wiped all settings but still no luck
Help needed please

Go into bootloader mode (vol down + power), fastboot, type 'fastboot erase cache' 'fastboot reboot-bootloader', and then reboot.

So you have re-locked the bootloader and have a stock recovery right? Try erasing the cache in fastboot.
I think the command is "fastboot erase cache" but I'm not 100% sure on the command.
NVM, UnlockedNand has got this one.

Cheers guys
just tried it and no go sorry
My bootloader is unlocked

Flash a new boot.img according to the rom you are flashing. Superwipe, and then flash the rom.

This is the exact solution which worked. I was stuck after I unlocked my Sprint HTC Evo 3D via htcdev.com. I did these steps:
1. "fastboot flash boot boot.img" (extracted from Cool ICS rom)
2. Wiped everything including partitions using 4EXT
3. Installed Cool ICS rom
Thanks!!!

tried flashing jb hd revolution rom and now stuck here.
force restart takes me here and hold vol down does nothing?

What is your hboot number ?
Which rom did you try to flash ?
Did you do a full wipe before installing ?
What custom recovery do you have ?

You cant flash any JB rom because your hboot do not support them. Only the aosp roms probably work like CM10. I suggest you update your hboot first to JB
Do the fastboot command
Fastboot getvar version-main
Fastboot oem readcid
Post them back and i provide 2 options to update the hboot

version-main: 1.29.401.11
CID HTC_032

You can do this :
Download this file
http://androidfiles.org/ruu/securek...Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed.exe
Put the phone in the bootloader and lock it
Fastboot oem lock
It will reboot and there will be some warning sign in the bootloader, keep it there and execute the RUU from the PC with admin rights. Click the ruu.exe with the right mousebutton and select
Run as admin (or similar command)
Note : this will flash the phone to full stock. After the ruu you boot into the phone and check manually for updates to JB !
Second option :
Go here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376
Download the firmware package for your CID and rename it to firmware.zip
Put the phone in the bootloader and lock it
Fastboot oem lock
Then perform the next commands
Fastboot oem rebootRUU (bootloader reboots)
Fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
This will update the hboot only .....
After this you unlock the bootloader again and flash the custom recovery, flash the boot.img from the Rom and do a new clean install of the rom

Can't boot in recovery or ROM

Hey
I was following this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525100
And everything worked well untill the part I had to boot into recovery mode.
I couldn't get into it and decided to skip that part and just flash the boot.img from the ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778202
I flashed everything succesful without any errors but now my phone won't boot, it just gives me a black screen and can't get into recovery.
My bootloader is unlocked and I can still get into it.
I was thinking about flashing the stock RUU or another ROM, but is this possible?
Now I can't use my desire hd .. need some help with it.
EDIT:
I'm S-ON and unlocked bootloader.
I just tried to flash CWM and it flashed succesfully but still couldn't boot into recovery..

That tutorial is for the Desire S. What RUU did you use?

First I unlocked the bootloader.
Then I moved the ROM's zip file to the SD card.
I flashed the 4EXT Recovery after that.
I couldn't boot into recovery so I flashed the ROM's boot.img
Then I couldn't boot my phone in normal mode
After that I flashed CWM but it also didn't work..
Then I used fastboot erase cache and after that I tried fastboot oem rebootRUU
that's all I did untill now

What did you have on your phone to begin with, stock? What ROM zip did you get the boot.img from? How did you flash recovery? Which image?

I had stock rom on my phone, didn't make a backup.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2335496 is the rom I tried to put on my phone, that is where the boot.img is from.
And I flashed recovery with
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
btw, i dont have a file PD98IMG
EDIT:
I tried booting into recovery with the command fastboot boot recovery.img
but it is stuck on the HTC screen

OK, you've flashed a JB AOSP boot.img on a Froyo/GB Sense ROM. No wonder it's not booting. Again, where did you get the recovery image from? You need to flash a working recovery from fastboot (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img), flash the ROM from recovery, and flash the matching boot.img from fastboot (fastboot flash boot boot.img).

Recoveries are device specific. http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager. ROMs are all flashed the same way if you are S-On with an unlocked bootloader.

[Q] HTC one X freezing on every rom

Hi,
Today i tried to install the MIUI rom for my HTC one X, but it kept freezing after 20 seconds.
So i flashed the backup i made before i flashed the MIUI rom, but it froze.
After that i tried to flash a backup i made about a month ago, but didnt work either.
Please help, many thanks

Did you flash the boot image from the miui ROM zip? And when flashed your backups did you reflash the boot img from the backups ?. Last but not least , did you fastboot erase cache after flashing each rom ?

Thanks to reply so fast,
i did flash the boot.img from the zip of the MIUI. but did not fastboot erase cache.
After i installed the MIUI rom, i booted my device several times and could get passed the bootlogo, but it just freezes after 30 seconds or so.
So i decided to flash those backups, without reflashing the boot.img (thought the backup restores those) niether did i fastboot erase cache.
so now he freezes on the bootlogo after 3 second or so.

thank you very much for your help,
found a threat were you give step by step instructions how to upgrade your hboot, but my question is, can i do all this whitout a rom installed because none will boot.

Depends on wich thread
And yes it should be possible, just flash the standalone firmware, or return to your original stock ICS 2.17 rom and update via official HTC ota.

So this is the firmware i need to flash using fastboot right?
thanks again for helping me out

First rename the zip to firmware.zip
Fastboot oem lock
Fastboot oem rebootRUU
Fastboot flash zip firmware.zip (may be needed twice)
Then unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery and then the desired new rom

Uhm no the new custom recovery is here.....this one works fine for me

And if you still have the unlock file, then you can flah it right away
Fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin
If you haven't got one you must make one indeed via the HTC devsite

it did a few days ago when i tried to flash the rom :s

Try to update the HTC drivers ......

Flashed recovery as boot.img

Hello everyone,
After having unlocked the boot loader I flashed via fast boot TWRP. The only problem is that I flashed "fastboot flash BOOT recovery.img" instead of RECOVERY... I wasn't paying enough attention...
The phone still boots but it goes straight to recovery. What can I do? Fast boot still recognizes it. I was thinking of extracting the boot.img file from a sense based rom like android revolution HD for the m8 or putting the whole rom android revolution HD on an sd card and flashing via recovery. In other threads users had already flashed a custom rom so they could flash the boot.img extracting it from that but I don't know since I still had the stock unlocked rom.
Would one of these solutions solve the problem?

u can try fastboot flash boot whateverbootloader.img otherwise try fastboot rebootRUU and try flashing hboot from within a ruu zip or wait for HTC to release official RUU

I'll try flashing a boot.img, the other solution is beyond my current skills...

Just extract the boot.img from the ROM you were using. If stock, download one of the stock Roms and then extract the boot.IMG from it and then
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Obviously the boot.img will need to be in your fastboot/adb folder.

What... He just needs to flash a kernel, why potentially cause someone to brick their device by flashing a hboot which wouldn't even solve the issue?

where did you get the boot.img file ? care to share it I am stuck too. My phones is from Rogers
