Hello everyone!
I recently tried to test AOKP and MIUI roms, so i installed them and flashed the boot.img. After I did so, I wanted to go back with a nandroid backup, but the ROM didn't started. Since i read in the MUIU thread that you have to flash the boot.img to start this rom correctly, I flashed the boot.img of the Noble ROM (which I'm using currently), but it didn't help. Even reflashing Noble ROM did not work. So now i have to use AOKP to run the phone, but I want back to Noble Sense 4.
Is there someone who can help me with this?
Thank you in advance
Holger
Sorry for my bad English but I'm no native speaker
Fullwipe, then flash your ROM
Thank you for your advice,
but this didn't work. The ROM gets stuck at the boot animation.
Logcat outputs always the same sequence...
I don't know what to do.
Is there any other method?
But you wiped in recovery right? (data,system,cache)
Data, System, Chache, Dalvik cache, even battery stats.
AOKP starts properly...
Download my Sense 4.0 ROM and flash the boot.img that's inside then boot into recovery do a full wipe then flash my ROM.
Yeah what he said ^^^
you have to use the boot.img for which ever ROM you want to flash.. E.G - You cant flash boot.img from a ROM based on 1.70/8 RUU if the ROM you want is based on a 1.53 RUU..... or vice versa, you catch my drift.
Did this already as mentioned in the first post ... Didn't work. Cannot start Noble ROM, but AOKP
You got bootloader unlocked ?
perhaps you should ask in the AOKP ROM thread...
or the long way is to run RUU and start from the start

Hello, my device is currently running LeeDroid's ROM and I was looking to test out other ROMs for fun. One example is TrickDroid. I noticed that each thread provides a boot.img to be flashed in fastboot. Must I do that before flashing each ROM and after backing up and wiping? Thank you!
If both ROMs are on the same base then no, you shouldnt have to flash each time..
Newer bases require newer boot.imgs,
The worst thing that could happen is the ROM wont boot, To fix that, Just flash the boot.img
I would love to thank you but I reached my max Thanks for today. I will come back tomorrow
If you get a bootlop, you should erase the cache or just flash the boot.img as said above
Hey guys I just wanna to check and make sure I'm doing everything right before I flash cause I don't need anymore paperweights
1.I have successfully unlocked my bootloader and installed twrp recovery and rooted.
2. Now I want to back up my entire setup: rom, apps, setting, data, everything so that if I ever want to return to stock then I can. I have booted into twrp and ran backup and selected all options. Is that how you perform a nandroid backup in twrp or is there more to it?
3. I want to install team venom viper xl rom. Do I have to first flash boot.img first or is the kernel the same in stock and viper xl so that isn't necessary? Do I have to do I factory reset first or what?
I'm still new to this stuff so please bear with me. Thank for all your help!!

Different kernel. it is using the 2.41 RUU. So go ahead and flash the boot.img
Here's what you should do for any new ROM with a different kernel.
Wipe System
Factory Reset
Flash boot.img
Flash the ROM
flash gapps (if AOSP based)
reboot and have fun
When doing a nandroid backup, it is only necessary to backup
System
Data
Boot
Ok thanks for your response but I'm still a little confused. First did I back up my current rom properly so that I can return to it later on? Secondly does viper and boot img have to be flashed or can they be installed from sdcard via twrp? If they have to be flashed whats the fastboot command.?

You backed up fine, it just takes up a little more space.
You have to extract the boot.img from the ROM and put it in the same folder as fastboot.exe
open command prompt, and navigate to the folder fasboot.exe is in and do the following command
fasboot flash boot boot.img
If it gets stuck at waiting for device, reboot into your bootloader, boot into fastboot from there. and then try again.

Viper is the Rom u flash it from twrp it's. azip file that's fkashable so make it easy and flash viper there and than flash the boot IMG from fastboot the command is all over the forums I thinks it fastnoot flash boot.img
don't be confused. read.
you always have to flash boot.img in fastboot "fastboot flash boot boot.img" then flash the zip in twrp make sure to wipe, and don't download international roms. you still have to flash the boot.img from your backed up rom.
like a hundred threads asking the same stuff because no one wants to read

I'm sorry but I did read. I saw that if you have the same kernel as that of the rom you're flashing you don't have to flash boot.img. So I asked to see if stock and viper have the same kernel. I don't want to flash anything that will brick my phone.
Now one more question if you don't mind answering. I also saw that you can't downgrade RUU. So if viper is based on 2.41 RUU and stock is 2.20 RUU then will I be able to go stock after flashing viper?
I really do appreciate yalls help. i would be where I am if it weren't for you.

Yes. Just wipe you system and do a factory reset , and flash the boot.IMG for 2.20 and then flash the Rom.
If you want true stock 2.20 then you will have to relock your bootloader and then run the 2.20 RUU. You would only want to do this if making a warranty claim or something. If you want stock rooted, then yes, do what I said above

Ok got it. I do appreciate your help. Flashing now.
downgrading only refers to the ruu not the zipped roms. so you can't run 1.85 ruu after running 2.20 ruu/ota but you can still flash a rom based on 1.85.
if you are reflashing the same rom you don't have to reflash boot.img but if you are flashing a new rom then you need to flash boot.img. 7-zip will tell you the crc32 of files so you see tell if it's a different checksum.
Viper Xl's great. Seems to be slightly slower than stock on some task, but the lack of bloatware, and the extensive customization is worth it. Haven't found any bugs or nothing so far. If anyones familiar with viperxl though what is the last app in the app drawer? Its got a chinese name? When it loads it says Dolby Surround but all the writing is in chinese?

That's because you flashed the Voodoo mod, it's apart of the mod, theres a chinese part and a english one called "Dolby Digital" or "Dolby Surround"
When I flash ViperXL 3.1.0 JB do I need to flash a radio too? My phone has hboot 1.4 and software 2.2, so I understand that I cant flash radio with hboot 1.4? Does this mean I need to downgrade my hboot/software version?

Hmm. Might there be a patch I'm missing out on? I just flashed one file -ViperXL 3.1.0 JB - Android File Host (692MB)
edit- Works now after another reinstall installed boot image first this time.
I made a backup on my phone in TWRP and wanted to restore it to get some contact info that I forgot to upload to my Google account. Anywho, I go into recovery and wipe me squeeky clean then restore the backup. It goes through like normal and I boot up but it doesn't get bassed the HTC splash screen. It turns to a black screen that occasionally has a white/grey bar at the top. I loaded a different backup I had and am running fine, but I still need that contact info.
Any ideas as to get the back up to work or if it is no use?

What hboot do you have?
If its 1.14 and you're switching ROMS (your backup is of a different ROM to the last ROM you were using) you might have to fastboot flash the boot.img of the ROM you're recovering.
i think it is a kernel issue
I had to downgrade from jb to ics and I wiped clean, I run into the same problem, I realized jb uses a different kernel, wipe clean flash your choosen Rom kernel update first and then your Rom, it worked for me hopefully works for you

where can i get the stock boot.img or the stock one x 2.20 image to extract the boot.img?
thanks!
is this it?
would this work?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1812459
if i download the odexed stock rooted rom and extract the boot.img, i can flash that to boot, and then run twrp restore to my backed up stock rooted rom, right?
my stock rooted rom was at&t 2.20 firmware.
Hoping I understood you correct, you basically need to flash a kernel first, so I am guessing you can use flar kernel,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1967897
and that should be the stock kernel on steroids, however if that were not to work he has a kernel for jb phones, so I would start by these first.
I really had this issue where I could see my phone in a brick state mode then flashed the right kernel for the right rom, and boom it worked like a charm.

Hey Guys,
I´m new to HOS custom mods and so I have a question.
Yesterday I successfully installed Trickdroid 9.1 which is JB and would like to try Vipermod which is ICS.
I would do it like this: Go to recovery, clear cache,dalvik,system and simply install the rom.
To switch back to Trickdroid, I have to flash the stock 9.0 Trickdroid rom and then restore my backup.
Is this procedure right?
Thanks alot for all your work, I really like this site!
Sounds about right... Except I dont think you need to flash trickdroid before restoring your backup.
Ive been switching between viper and Dark Jelly a few times by only restoring the backups (+fastboot flash the boot.img's)
Thanks!
I´ll give it a try this afternoon

Just make sure to fastboot the boot.img from the Viper ROM (ie extract the boot.img from the Viper ROM and then fastboot flash boot boot.img)
The kernels for JB and ICS are not the same. you would need to flash the rom and fastboot the boot.img unless you are on a low hboot (ie ver 1.06, 1.09)
Viper provides a flash-script in their thread, so all you need to do (for viper) is extract it and doubleclick flash-boot-windows.bat
Hint: That also works with other boot.img's. Simply replace the boot.img with any other boot.img
Thanks for the replies! Flashing the boot.img with commandline is no problem!
Both work great, but I think I´ll stay with Trickdroid until ViperOneS 2 is released
Anyway thanks for the infos!
I have h-boot 1.14 withe twrp recovery, I backed up my phone with a previous rom i had and my question is would I have to install the image again after i restore the phone or should the phone restore without any problems.

Most of the time yes you will have to install the boot .img manually coming from a different base or Rom... But say if you're on viper and your back up is the same base sense Rom you probably wouldn't have to reflash it... But if coming from cm10 or anything else yes

Be safe and flash it
Is it necessary to reflash rom before restore or can you just fastboot flash boot.IMG and just restore backup?

I believe you have to flash boot. IMG and than restore according to the comments up there
I just wish we had to option to downgrade the software/hboot without going thru all those steps listed, I remeber i had the htc inspire and you will be able to downgrade hboot by choosing a downgraded version of Ruuu files.

Yeah I loved the inspire that's what got me into android... But I got my phone on hboot 1.09 I've never done the downgrade process but I heard it can be pretty simple
