Help wiht flashing boot

ive downloaded the boot.img file from this link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2013506
and downloaded the zip file .. but forgot to add it to the sdcard ..
i've made a a backup using CWM before anything ..
after that i've run this command : fastboot flash boot boot.img
and after that remembered to add the .zip file but i cant get into my phone anymore .. my phone just get into the HTC quitly briiliant page and stop ..
please help
can i add the zip file in a way to the phone so i can install it ??! because when i plug the usb cable to the PC it doesnt show the internal storage

Mount the sdcard as usb storage in the recovery
Cwm recovery ? Go to MOUNTS & STORAGE and tap the last option in the list
Then copy the rom.zip

different boot.img for different Roms???
A friend of mine helped me root my phone, I´m now running ViperX and flashed using Aroma Installer.
What do I have to do now when changing Roms - I don´t have to type commands hooking my phone up to the computer everytime,do I?
Just put the zipfile on my sd card - wipe cache and dalwik cache then flash rom using Aroma (when in recovery).?
There´s already a boot.img file on my sdcard where the ViperX zipfile is....
Or do I have to replace/ put the new roms boot.img-file there?
Nooooooob - thanks!

it's recommended to flash the boot.img that comes with the rom. if you are already on viper x JB then its not really needed. you can flash the new viper x JB with a full wipe over the old viper x JB (Viper X JB 3.2.* to 3.3.0) the latest Viper X JB rom NEEDS a FULL wipe.
if you are coming from any other rom you need the pc to flash the boot.img from the pc to the phone with the fastboot command

I was thinking of flashing InsertCoin.
Think my friend said the good part of Aroma was that I didn´t have to type commands using the pc connected to the phone everytime I wanted to flash new roms. Jsut mount, put zipfile and addons on the hox in the catalog where the boot.img is...?

No flashing a boot.img is impossible from the recovery, we need S-OFF for that but we don't have that. so flash the boot.img from the pc !

if i want to go back to the original OS i just enter CWM and go to recovery mode ?
and what about sdcard/0/ do i need to change it to sdcard if yes how to do that .. i didnt understand this :
adb shell
cd /sdcard/0/
mv * ../
mv .* ../
cd ..
rmdir 0

Mount the sdcard in the recovery and you can put everything from sdcard\0\ to sdcard\
Also the nandroid backup .....
Then flash the boot.img from the nandroid backup, its in the folder. Then go to recovery and do FULL wipe (don't forget the dalvik cache under the advanced menu) then tap backup & restore and continue to restore the nandroid

I as editing my post already
And yeah
Factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced - wipe dalvik cache
Mounts & storage - format cache, data, system
NOT THE SDCARD ofcourse

i entered this command from the computer:: fastboot flash boot boot.img while i was on the fasboot on the phone

Yes but did you copy the boot.img from the nandroid backup folder to the fastboot folder on the pc if the old boot.img still exists in the fastboot folder then you are flashing probably the old boot.img !

i found the boot.img on the nandroid backup folder .. so i need to copy it to the folder i first created which includes the fastboot.exe and some other files .. and enter the fastboot flash boot boot.img there ? and after that go to phone and enter recovery and restore ?

Well if you already did a full wipe and restored the nandroid then you only have to flash the boot.img. it will probably boot fine after that.....

Well it can't be restored because we don't have s-off otherwise it could ! But it is easy that it is actuallly copied along with the nandroid backup because at that point you have everything to boot the phone ! The nandroid, the boot.img and a custom recovery that is able to restore it. This way you can never loose the correct boot.img for the nandroid :thumbup:
And now ? What's next .... Updating to JB ....or where you alredy on JB ? Can't recall I have too many subscribed threads at the moment

My phone is not booting

Hello Guys,
I have a major problem with my HTC one X .. Let me tell u the story from the beginning. I was installing a ROM a specifically this one and I installed the kernel and all fine .. The phone booted and it was working perfectly but there was a problem with the keyboard that whenever it runs it crashed and I couldn't fix it. I said I will restore my old ROM that I saved with the recovery mood while I was installing the new one. I restored it and everything was restored perfectly. Then I got another ROM this one and I installed it ... I copied the zip file to the sdcard and then I restarted my phone in the fastboot mode to install the kernel and install the ROM as usual. I installed the kernel of the ROM using fastboot and then I entered to the recovery mood to install the ROM and complete my installation. BUT when I entered to the sdcard from the recovery mood I found nothing !! as if the sdcard has been formatted ... or as if someone deleted some files .. I couldn't find my ROM.zip though I am sure I copied it .. I couldn't find anything ... I tried to restore my old ROM and fix the issue but when I tried to restore I got no file found the ClockworkMod is not able to find the backup image as I am not able to find my backup image ... Now the phone is not booting and I don't have any access except to the fastboot mood and the ClockworkMod recovery. Is there anyways I can reach the sdcard to copy a ROM and to install the kernel to be able to boot .. .. or how can I boot and fix this issue. Please help me guys . ...

Ow first thing : enter the recovery and mount the sdcard as a mass storage device/usb diskdrive
When you mount the sdcard as a mass storage device in the recovery .... is there a sdcard\O dir ?
If so copy it all from that dir back to the root of the sdcard !

I can mount the sdcard from the recovery but I can't see it in my computer ..I can see it from the recovery only .. but It doesn't have the ROM .. so how can I copy data from my laptop to the sdcard

Then you might have pressed the wrong option in the recovery .... There are 2 sorts of mounting options in there.....what recovery do you have ?

Rename my download to recovery.img, put the file in your fastboot folder, put the phone in the bootloader. Open the command window in the fastboot folder on the pc and type
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash boot boot.img

Thank you Mr Hofs all worked great I had access to the sdcard and I was able to flash a new ROM but now I have some problems ..
I flashed the cyngmod rom and it worked pefectly but when I install gapps the keyboard stopped working and many applications .. would u mind if u suggest me a good jb 4.2.1 ROM + gapps that u tested which stable and working perfectly .

I never tested a single CM10 but did you install gapps directly after installing the rom without reboot ? Otherwise try the CM10.1 seems pretty well in my opinion !

I installed CM 10.1 and I rebooted .. all was working great but I don't have google play or anything .. I rebooted to the recovery mood and then I installed the gapps .... that "they said" it should work perfectly and then I rebooted but they keyboard keep crashing and the googplay ... simply .. I can do nothing :S :S

Wipe, flash ROM, then without rebooting, flash GApps and reboot.

Same exact problem !!
here are the steps exactly
1- erased the cache
2- Installed the kernel
3- erased the cache again
then I went to recvoery mod
1- Install ROM
2- install gapps
3- reboot
when I rebooted keyboard is not running and it keeps crashing !! :S :S

Wiping cache will not do the trick. Use the wipe/factory reset option in recovery before installing rom and gapps.

I did .. I usually before I install the ROM I wipe
1- data/factory-reset
2- cache
3- delvik cache

Also wipe in mounts and storage
Format cache
Format data
Format system
To be sure and then install the rom.zip

HELP - booting problem

(sorry for my english, i'm from Czech)
hello
Yesterday I tried Replaces CM10 but something went wrong and whenever I turn on my mobile it switches on only in ClockworkMod and if I'll click in reboot mobile turn up into ClockworkMod again. Please what should I do?
also it would help if you knew how to reset the boot, I accidentally had set ClockworkMod as a boot.
or if you knew how to get to the storage.
Sorry if it was already there

Whats your hboot number ?
Its stated in the bootloader, its like 1.12 or 1.31, 1.36, 1.39

Hi, I have a big problem. I tried to flash new ROM to my ONE X, everything went great, I can connect to Wi-Fi, but I can't reach any of webpages. All other programs doesn't work on internet too.
This ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2027029
And I was using this guide: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-unlock-root-install-a-custom-rom-on-your-htc-one-x/
I don't know what to do How can I get back to original Android version? I thought my battery life with this ROM will be better, bet no internet..Please help

Sure you performed a full wipe before you installed the rom and flashed the boot.img via fastboot ?
Which recovery did you use, type and version number please ?

Thank you for fast answer. Yes I'm sure I did full wipe before flashing boot.img
I am sorry, I'm not so good at this. Where I can find type and version number?

Usually inside the recovery. But we can try it over 1 more time, maybe it helps
Flash this recovery (rename to recovery.img)
https://www.dropbox.com/s/yqzlpqo8illa53j/Philz recovery 5.15.9.img
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Flash the boot.img from the rom :
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Disconnect the usb cable and enter the recovery, perform a full wipe :
Factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced-wipe dalvik cache
Mounts & storage-format cache, data and system
Now install the rom.zip and reboot
Check if it's fine now, or maybe reset your router once.....

OMG, you're the best!! Thank you so much! Working! :good:

HTC One X Bricked.. Help Needed

First of all, I want to tell that I am a beginner and do not know much about rooting and custom ROM installation.
Few days back, I became very keen to know what is custom ROM and is there any custom ROM available for my HTC One X. I searched through internet and found one, downloaded it. Rooted my phone, Unlocked bootloader. After that I installed CWM touch recovery. Everything was going great. Then, I first flashed the kernel given along with that custom ROM. it Flashed. Then, I flashed that Custom ROM. I Showed an error. I flashed it twice or thrice but it stucked on that error. Also in a Hurry, or Excitement, I forgot to take a backup of my previous ROM. After that, I switched on my phone it does nothing and stucked at HTC Bootscreen. I factory reset my phone, it wiped all data from phone. I Thought, a RUU would work, but it also doesn't worked.
I went to HTC Service Center, they are saying that motherboard will be replaced, which is almost of same cost of phone. I cannot spend so much.
I tried so many ways, but nothing worked.
So, I am Finally here seeking help from Experts. Any help will be highly appreciable.
Sorry for my bad English.

Make a full wipe and install the rom.zip. and flash the boot.img from the rom.zip
What rom were you trying to flash ?

If its a kitkat ROM you can't use cwm recovery to flash that rom.. you either use philz recovery given by mr hofs or latest twrp recovery from the twrp thread or indexed listing thread..

sorry for this stupid question. But how to use ADB Sideload..??

Just mount the sdcard in the mounts and storage menu ! No need for adb sideload
And don't just install the rom, you must perform a full wipe before that !
Factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Wipe dalvik cache
Format system
Format data
Format cache
Then install the rom !

If that doesn't work try this , this is what I did when I bricked my HTC One X:
1. Download Fastboot
2. Download adb
3. Download cm-10.2.1-endeavoru.zip (https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=endeavoru)
(I used this one , it's justs so you get your SD Card Working again and you can
put ROMS and everything on it again)
4. Download openrecovery-twrp-2.4.0.0-endeavoru-JB (http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/endeavoru)
(This one will be used because it has touch ability's and you can install ROMS with it )
4.1 Or you can download recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.7-endeavoru.img (a.k.a Philz recovery)
(This one will be used because it has touch ability's and you can install ROMS with it )
( I used Philz recovery 5.15.9.img (provided by Mr Hofs -> who is a great guy btw)
5. Download openrecovery-twrp-endeavoru-2.1.7 (http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/endeavoru
(This one will be used for adb push commands, openrecovery-twrp-endeavoru-2.1.7 has a built
in ability for your sd-Card , adb can recoginze it but the problem is your touch will not work.)
6. Go into bootloader -> fastboot and do this:
6.1 fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-endeavoru-2.1.7.img
7. Go into recovery (Hboot -> recovery)
7.1 just open the recovery, your touch will probably not work. DONT LOCK IT JUST LEAVE IT OPEN
(ADB sideload didn't work for me so that's why we are going to do this)
IF YOUR TOUCH WORKS YOU CAN SKIP STEP 8
7.2 do this command: adb devices
If you don't find your devices in this then the next steps will not work.
YOU HAVE TO SEE YOUR DEVICE
7.3 do this command: adb push cm-10.2.1-endeavoru.zip /sdcard/
You can only do cm-10.2.1-endeavoru.zip if the zip file is located in the same folder your using
with command. I'm not sure about /sdcard/ . I cant remember anymore But this will put the
but this will put the zip Directly on your SDcard.
8. Go to bootloader -> fastboot
8.1 do this command: fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.4.0.0-endeavoru-JB.img
8.2 or do this command: fastboot flash recovery Philz recovery 5.15.9.img
Your touch wasn't working but it will work now.
9. Go to booloader -> fastboot
9.1 extract the boot.img from the Download cm-10.2.1-endeavoru.zip into the fastboot folder
9.2 do this command fastboot flash boot boot.img
9.3 fastboot erase cache
10. Go back to recovery
10.1 Wipe User Data
10.2 Wipe data cache
10.3 Go to advanced -> wipe Dalvik Cache
11. Install zip from sdcard
11.1 Choose cm-10.2.1-endeavoru.img
11.2 Install the zip WITH full wipe
12. After the install, reboot. You should have a full functional HTC ONE X now
13. Now but your ROM's(ZIP FILES)/Recovery(ZIP FILES)/Kernels and everything you want on your HTC because
You can see your HTC on your PC again!

I tried adb push.. But i cant find the pushed zip on sd card in recovery.. Moreover i tried flashing using fastboot command i.e. fastboot flash zip rom.zip it ended with an error <remote not allowed>

For maximus hd do this :
Flash Philz 5.15 and mount the sdcard and wait literally minutes to let the sdcard pop up, copy the rom, do a full wipe and install it then also flash the boot.img from the maximus rom in the bootloader and reboot the phone
Don't make this so hard on yourself !

Philz 5.15 recovery is not flashed. And ended with an error 0xa . any other way??
