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.

[Q] Stuck in Bootloader - Please help

Hi Guys
Wondering if you can help, I have checked other threads with similar titles but to no avail for my problem in which I post.
I was moving from leedriod extreme rom to viper rom.
I made the mistake of flashing the boot.img zip file rather than just the .img file.
This keeps putting me into the an unlocked bootloader, I have gone to my cwm recovery as i backed up prior to doing so, however when I restore and it completes it, I reboot and it still goes to bootloader, I tried an older restore point and I get the same.
could anyone please help me?
Many thanks
Mick

Have you tried reflashing boot.IMG ?
Sent from my HTC One X

Reflash the boot.img and you should be fine, if all fails run the RUU.

Hi and thank you for your replies.
I tried flashing the boot img with the flasher that the viper rom comes with, however kept saying failed.
I have since locked and unlocked the boot locker
locked as i wanted to run the stock rom and unlocked due to not having enough battery.
I amm currently carrying out the battery .bat mod in which it charges it up every 6 seconds.
Would you suggest I try again with the boot.img file or just go straight to stock rom?
p.s. i have latest cwm and left it on charge and it did not charge, is this related?

I will get there said:

Have you tried wiping dalvik cache?

Hi Bossman
Yes tried wipe dalvik cache also full factory reset too!

Maybe the boot.img is corrupted? Try re-downloading.
How did you flash your boot.img? You should just extract the zip file and use their bat file to flash.
After that, re-install re-install the rom again. should be resolved.

1. Go into fastboot mode on phone
2. Load up command prompt and execute fastboot erase cache
3. Reflash boot.img
4. Flash Superwipe from ARHD thread
5. Reflash LeeDroid
Should work..

HOX CM9 fail

I tried installing Cyanogen Mod 9 on my HTC One X, first time doing it so had no idea what I was doing, just followed random tutorials till I got my phone rooted, I installed Clockwork Recovery at some point to, only before I got round to installing the ROM itself I stopped working on it then like a month later remembered, booted into recovery, installed cm9 and then got stuck in a bootloop. Only cause it was awhile since I did this I don't really know what I did to get here or what went wrong. I've cleared the cache in recovery as I've seen mention that that might help though it didn't. Also I don't know that I made a backup, I thought I did back when I first rooted but then after I flashed I couldn't see a backup anywhere. Can anyone help me troubleshoot this? Would like to get phone at least working again.

After you installed the ROM in recovery, did you flash the boot.img in the zip file as well? Eveytime you install a new ROM, you have to do that extra step until we get S-off

This I did not do, though I can't see a boot.img file anywhere? Is it part of the CM zip?

Is there a way to place a ROM onto my droid while I've only got access to the bootloader/recovery?

You can mount USB storage in recovery, then simply drag & drop from your computer on to the phone.

Extract the CM9 zip to a folder, and there you will find the boot.img.
To flash the boot.img you will need fastboot, which you can find on the OneX information sticky.
Then boot to bootloader, select fastboot (Plugged into USB). Then on your PC open Command prompt, navigate to where fastboot is located and type > fastboot flash boot <path to boot.img ex: c:\android\CM9\boot.img>

Ok so my phone is now working, to a degree. First I tried mounting usb in recovery, that didn't work so I got this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1634786 and also downloaded CM10 because I didn't have access to my original CM9 download. I then used the automated flashboot commands to flash recovery 5.8.4.0 instead of the older one I had, this gave me my mount usb back. I mounted and put the CM10 zip on the phone then booted recovery and flashed it, I then used the fastboot automatic commands again to flash the boot.img for CM10. I cleared the cache using fastboot and rebooted. It now boots however splash screen still says cyanogen mod 9 and version of android is 4.1.1 though which I think means CM10 must be installed right? also since the mod been installed my wifi does not work, I don't seem to be able to connect to 3g/H+ either. I've rebooted back to recovery and factory reset/wipe cache partition/wipe dalvik cache, anything else I need to wipe?
Pretty much need to either get mobile data working again or flash back to stock.

CM10 still has the CM9 bootup screen.
I had couple of CM10 Preview releases for few weeks. Almost everything (i.e: WiFi, 3G etc..) works in that ROM. I assume most other CM10 ROMs also have those basic stuff working right now. Which ROM and version did you download ? If you followed the exact instructions then WiFi should work.
If 3G is not working then make sure you have the correct APN settings of your network provider.

Bootloop after Revolution HD 8

Hi guys,
i've got a big problem with my HTC One X after installing Android Evolution 8 from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562603
I cant post in the thread there so I hope this is a good place.
I unlocked and rooted the HTC succesful with clockword mod.
After that I used this instruction:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxJf8xIVVC0
So i made a backup with clockwork mod, after that i wiped all the caches as said in the video and then I installed Android Evolution 8.
After reboot i got a reboot loop, after showing the startup screen the One X reboots, again and again.
I figured out that the problem could be, that i didnt use the superwipe tool, i justed wiped as in the tutorial.
Is there a way to reset the HTC or to restore the backup and to reinstall again or can I throw the HTC away?

Ok, sorry for the thread, I had no time to wait for an answer because battery was almost empty and didnt charge, so i risked it an tried to restore the Backup in Clockwork recovery.
That worked an now the HTC works fine again.
So i ll charge it and after that I user Super wipe before I reinstall Evolution 8 again.
Maybe the thread will help somebody else one day, cheers.

Steps to get out of boot loop
Hi,
You are probably got into a boot loop because the boot.img you have on your phone is not compatible with the custom ARHD ROM or is not correctly flashed. First charge the phone upto at least 50% battery (to be safe). Then try following the steps below:
1. Download this pack>> Fastboot Pack http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1616741
2. Extract the boot.img from the Custom Rom you are trying to install in a folder on your computer.
3. Extract Fastboot Pack into a folder on your computer and replace the boot.img by the boot.img extracted from the Custom Rom in Step.2
4. Turn your phone OFF
5. Turn your phone ON in bootloader mode by holding the power and vol down buttons at the same time, your phone will start in HBOOT mode. It will be displayed somewhere in the middle of the text.
6. Use the volume keys to move up and down the list, and select Fastboot, then press the power key. Now your phone will come in FASTBOOT mode.
7. Connect your phone to the computer via USB cable. Your phone will now display USB FASTOOT instead of just FASTBOOT.
8. Run 05-erase-cache.bat
9. Run 06-flash-custom-boot.bat
10. Run 08-install-clockwork-recovery.bat
11. Disconnect the USB cable. Your phone will now again say FASTBOOT.
12. Use the up or down volume key to select HBOOT and press the power button. This will take you back to HBOOT mode.
13. Use the volume keys to scroll to RECOVERY and press the power button.
14. This will take you to Recovery mode, now you can flash the Custom Rom you want using Recovery mode.
Let me know if I helped by clicking Thanks

Hi,
thanks for your answer.
Unfortunately also after using the Super wipe i've got a Bootloop after installing HD 8.1.0.
The link with the fastboot Pack doesn't work, where can I find it?
After downloading Fastboot Pack, I have to replace the boot.img in the file Android_Revolution_HD-One_X_8.1.0.zip with that one from Fastboot Pack, is that right?

Just install boot image for ARHD 8.1 that is included in thread of ARHD. This definitely boot image problem. I think you didn't flashed it. Just follow the instruction on first page.

You can only flash boot image in fastboot mode, not in CWM.

I'm having the same problem (I think). After successfully installing the boot.img for ARHD 8.1.x, I get a bootloop trying to enter recovery mode (or trying to boot normally).
Edit: I installed ClockworkMod Recovery Touch prior to this but never tested it... Maybe that has something to do with it.

You can use this tool instead of Fastboot ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1634786
And NO it is the other way round, You need to replace the boot.img in the tool by the one you get in ARHD and then run the tool. In this tool you will find a folder for boot.img which will contain one boot.img file already. Just replace that and run the tool. for HTC One X whenever you want to install a custom Rom, you need to do this.
A boot.img is normally a part of the custom Rom zip file which automatically gets flashed when you flash the rom. BUT this doesn't happen with One X due to some reason. So we need to flash the boot.img separately BEFORE flashing the ROM.
Let me know if the above helps by clickng Thanks

Hi.. What do you mean by getting a bootloop trying to enter recovery?
Which boot.img did you flash ? It should be the one which is inside the ARHD ROM zip file. So extract that and try following the steps in my reply above. If you still fail let me know the exact steps you took and issue and I will try to help.

When I try to boot into ClockworkMod Recovery (by selecting RECOVERY on the HBOOT screen), I get a boot loop. Same thing happens if I select REBOOT from the FASTBOOT screen.
Yes, I'm using the right boot.img. It's my understanding I have to install this before I can install the ROM.
To install it, I put my phone into fastboot USB mode, and ran:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
My One X is an S-ON device, btw.

Hi, it worked for me to flash the boot.img manually first
(boot.img for 8.1.x
S-ON devices can't flash boot.img in recovery, so you need to flash it manually before flashing ROM

My One X is S-Off.

That's what I did, but I got a boot loop.
Where can I find a copy of the default boot.img? Or is there another way to restore my system to normal so I can try again?
Edit: Also, are there different boot.img's for different firmware versions?

Hi,
because the original thread with the boot.img has been moved/edited, I upped it for You:

Ohh sorry I assumed your One X is S-OFF, you definitely need to do that FIRST, before going ahead with this flashing business. There is an awesome tool by hasoon2000 for doing this, which you can find here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604439
Just use the above tool to S-OFF your device, flash the recovery and then follow the steps I have given before. If you need more help with S-OFF let me know and I will provide detailed instructions for doing that.

ARHD 9
I just installed ARHD 9 and followed the instructions but now when it boots up it flashes onto the homescreen for a few seconds and then reboots, does anyone have a fix? i dont have a back up either

I think fastboot erase cache might be useful.
Every ROM requires (and is packaged with) a boot.img, you need to flash the ROM and you need to flash the associated boot.img.
If you get bootloops, make sure you have flashed the correct boot.img.
If the ROM reboots after it's started, make sure you superwiped when changing bases.
Basically, do all of the steps in the instructions, without missing out any of the steps.

I have faced that issue in the past. Just flash again, follow the steps I have given before. Remember to clear the cache at the beginning, and flash the boot img that you get inside the ROM you are flashing i.e. the one inside ARHD 9. Also, before you flash the ROM, wipe data (NOT SDCARD) and dalvik cache as well.

HTCDev Unlock?
I had the same problem with another rom. Try this and hit thanks if it helps
Look for SuperWipe.zip to clean everything except the sd card
1. extract the boot.img from zip and place it to the fastboot folder you used with htcdev unlock
2. Reboot into fastboot
3. From your PC:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
4. Goto recovery and start SuperWipe.zip
5. Now flash the rom
6. Don't use reboot at the end of Aroma installer
Didn't work though. Still did the same thing after I did all the stuff above. Went back to 7.0 and it works fine again but I would love to update it. Admittedly I'm pretty new at this so while I assume I did everything right above (no error messages or anything) it might not have worked? Also, there are a bunch of different versions of superwipe out there I tried a couple till I found which one worked but maybe it has to be made for the DHD specifically?
Any help on this would be much appreciated!
Thanks.
