Cyanogenmod 9. boot taking very long!

i have rooted and unlocked bootloader on my htc one x from at&t. i installed twrp. i downloaded and copied this rom to my phone and i am now trying to flash it. http://onexroot.com/one-xl-roms/cm10-jelly-bean-rom-for-att-one-xone-xl/
what was weird is that when its booting it says cyanogenmod 9 not ten.
it has been at least 10 minuets now and i need to know how to fix this. thankyou.

Well...
First off. If you know about XDA (Which is clear, since you're posting your problem here in the forum), why did you download a ROM from another site? One that doesn't look as 'legitimate' as XDA?
Second. CM10 doesn't have a boot animation yet (They may now, but the ROM you downloaded may not have been updated.) There was a CM10 ROM here on XDA that was using the CM9 animation due to lack of CM10 bootanimation.
It sounds to me like something went wrong when flashing. You need to reboot into twrp and reflash the ROM. I highly recommend downloading a ROM from XDA and going that route.

Completely agree here. That website looks pretty dodgy. Loaded with ads, it doesn't give much information on what you are even downloading/installing, and it doesn't seem to be posted by the actual developer, or give any credit to them (aside from the brief "Credits - XDA" link at the bottom of the article. Plus the download location is not the same as the original Developer's link, which would worry me (to say the least). I'd avoid downloading from this site, unless you have a legit reason to believe its reputable. But it just looks like one of those unscrupulous sites that posts contents from other sources, and rakes in ad revenue from clueless vendors.
Also, the version of the ROM linked is 3 weeks older than what the dev has posted here on XDA, with the newer version having fixed lots of stuff.
Stick to the Development subforums here. Much safer.

If you are looking for a safe ROM to install, I highly suggest you look through this XDA. There is a nearly flawless CM10 ROM here. I user it for a little while and loved it, but missed Sense too much and switched to CleanROM

I would strongly recommend doing a full wipe and factory reset before anything else. Who knows what you actually installed?
There are a LOT of sites out there offering what purports to be legitimate android software but is actually malware. Android's openness is a big plus but is also a risk. You have to be careful where you get apps and roms from. Just googling for them is going to get you in trouble very quickly.
Here's just one good example:

Lol I said the exact same thing to this guy in his other thread when he thought he bricked his phone. Some people never learn.

Steps to fix your problem
1) are u coming from a sense 4.0.4 ROM/stock? If so u have an incompatible hboot. This will cause boot loop like what u are seeing if this is the case you have to change to the older boot.img (if u updated to the newest at&t ota ur on 4.0.4 if ur coming from a ROM like clean ROM 4.5 ur on 4.0.4) this is most likely your problem to fix this you need to use fast boot to change the boot.IMG I don't know the exact procedure off the top of my head but ull find it with a quick search
2) if not and ur coming from sense 4.0.3 then you should reboot to twrp and wipe cache/dalvic cache this should fix it
3) if not wipe everything (except SD card) this means cache, dalvik cache, factory reset, and system then reflash.
Important definitely grab the newest build from here like what was mentioned earlier.

CM10 currently uses the CM9 boot animation. If you have AT&T 2.20 software, then you need to flash the boot.img using fastboot or CM10 (and all ROMs) will just stay in the boot animation for ever. Why didn't you download CM10 from XDA?

[Q] Rogers HTC One X Loading Custom Roms

I'm thinking about romming an HTC One X for Rogers and I've tried looking up information about installing custom roms. I know I need to unlock the bootloader first and that TWRP is likely the easiest method in order to rom. But I've read some conflicting things. Does it matter which version of the software I have? There just seems to be multiple guides.
Would this guide work?

I'm happy to do the research, but hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.

Thabnk, I did read through part of that but I don't see anything there for version 1.94?

You can root and unlock 1.94 then flash recovery and rom fine.

Rogers HTC One X can be unlocked through the HTCdev site. Once the bootloader is unlocked you can install TWRP and flash any evita rom you want.

Any variant of the HOX can be bootloader unlocked via HTCDev except for the AT&T version. Firmware numbers for you will not matter in the slightest.

So I was able to unlock the bootloader. To install TWRP I installed GooManager and Installed "OpenRecoveryScript".
When I try to reboot the phone into recovery, nothing happens.
Is there a guide how to use TWRP. Most of the guides seem pretty basic, but I don't even know if I have it installed properly. I'm trying to install ViperX

hey! that's my guide! haha, glad to see my first real contribution be somewhat of a success.
As long as it's in the root directory (not in a folder) of the internal SDcard, you'll be fine. Also, make sure you make a backup of your stock ROM just in case you need to go back to it.
Another thing, copy down your APN settings (word by word) from your stock ROM. Not sure if Rogers is the same as Telus, but Telus needs two APNs to get LTE enabled. If you could PM those to me as well, I could add them to my guide as well. Thanks.

Ughhh. Tried to install ViperX 2.6.0 using TWRP however it didn't work. Says Checking Model ID then "assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device")==

Might have answered my own question, but can I only install Roms in this dev section because I'm on Roger (so no international mods)?

So if you would like toto back up your apps than yes u can use titanium but yes make a back up sounds like u already did of your stock rom ...download viper 2.00 put it on your SD where you'll remember. To find it ... Once in twrp hit wipe menu ...wipe system ..factory reset ...and wipe dalvic cache than go back to the home menu in twrp and click install and find viper and this is very important since you wiped system you'll see in viper menu flash stock kernel or install rom ...hit install rom and go from there if you don't you'll be stuck. At. HTC dev screen and have to get back into recovery

One last important thing in case u didn't know
If you're ever stuck in bootloop this will do the trick to get into bootloader and back to recovery
Turn on, hold power 10-15 seconds, until screen goes black, let off, press n hold volume down, press power just 2-3 seconds, let off power button but continue holding vol. Down

LoL wow, already done. Using the rom now. :laugh:
Wow, that was easy. Not sure if I should have checked some of the options (like one to enable exchange mail, and another for better sound). But it was so easy I guess I can always just redo it.
Was starting to think rooting maybe wasn't worth it (last root I did was on the original Nexus). Just going through all the features on ViperX, I'm glad I did.

So earlier i attempted to do the 2.2 root.
i managed to get as far as rooting, installing superuser and CWM
now, the problem is when i went to flash the rom, i tried to run the super wipe, but was getting errors about the sdcard not being able to be mounted. and the wipe was not performed/failed/aborted etc
i tried to run flash the rom still, it loaded, but still gave an error at the end and did not work.
reboot the phone, and i get the HTS quietly brilliant screen with red text that says"this build is for development purposes only...." and from here it does nothing but constantly reboot to this screen.
i am able to get to the bootloader screen, and fastboot works.
ive tried factory resetting the phone, as well as using the CWM recovery. i am unable to do any. as the CWM cannot write to e:\sd card
its not mounted, and i cannot mount it, when i try to reformat the sd card, it says it is unmounted.
mount usb storage was not working either, and said files were missing.
i read on other threads about needing the sd card reformatted, but the one x has an internal card.
please help
i feel like it can be fixed, but im really worried my phone is bricked
eta: i tried to revert to the stock ruu, but i think i should have read it more clearly.
so i guess i flashed the ruu that was NOT 2.2

im trying to install the Android Revolution HD 9.7.2 Ice Cream Sandwich
it allows me to choose settings, and such and start install.
after starting install, it goes through the files and such, but when it gets to /system/lib/ it just closes on itself, and goes back to twrp screen and recovery home. the rom never finishes installing. right now im gonna re-download the rom and see if that works.
if i cannot install the custom rom, how can i go back to stock exactly?
do i need to find the stock ruu?

fixed it.
turns out im stupid and was using a rom not compatible with this phone.
i flashed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1907324 so far, and it seems to be working
however, i prefer something closer to stock. can anyone suggest a rom?

hopefully you aren't using cwm anymore and flashed twrp for the evita.

I didn't even have to use the search function. 2 are near the top of General. The remaining has slipped past the first page, but its still pretty high up there.
People who flash a ROM for the international version are simply neglecting to do any basic reading and learning before flashing things willy-nilly, that's my point.

thanks for the help guys. i flashed viper xl yesterday night right after, loving it thus far. i was just so used to the sense keyboard already, and hated the cramped jb keyboard, and this rom has simple little tweaks
i did read, but i guess not thoroughly enough. in hindsight, i wasnt aware that the one x was different than the xl, its fairly easy to miss that the other roms are not compatible with this phone. and is completely different alltogether.
if i had known that, i wouldnt have flashed cwm, and would not have need to post a help thread. all "solutions" i attempted on my own were based off readings of the hox, rather than the evita, once again causing more problems. it was easily enough fixed once i figured that bit of information out.
i am a noob, but this phone is not my first time rooting, so with my prior knowledge i felt i was more than ready to tackle this rom flashing, im sure plenty of others will make the same mistake as i did.
the other phones ive rooted and flashed had their one model of phone only, so all the roms available were compatible.
im just glad my phone is not bricked, and i now have root access

From what others are saying, the newer hboot that came with 2.20 is write protected. Hboot can't be overwritten by flashing a ROM for the international One X. ROM just fails to flash, and you get a recoverable condition like this one, as opposed to hard bricks on the older hboot.

Yea, at least there's one good thing that came with the dreaded update

New to HTC need some help

Hey guys my s3 killed its self yesterday so I grabbed one of these beauties today and I'm really impressed so far(maybe its the custom ROM).
Now I got the phone off a guy, had it he unlocked the bootloader,rooted,and gave me the phone already running 4.1(dirty 1.8).no back ups to even a rooted stock.
Although I love jelly bean this battery is killing me and I would really like to have at least a stock zip I can flash in emergencies.
I am so unfamiliar with HTC(nexus one was the last one I owned)thank I really don't want to brick it.
OK so my questions are these
I have the rogers version of the Onex is there certain builds I need to look for or are they all just HTC one x?
With HTC is there a fallback like with samsung if things go wrong at least there's always download mode and Odin.
Do I need to have my boot loader unlocked?
Thanks in advance
And sorry for the noobness I just can't kill 2 phones in a week

No! It is wise of you to ask this, because there are two versions of the One X, the International (Tegra 3 quad-core) and the US/Rogers/Telstra (dual-core S4). Flashing stuff for the wrong version can permanently brick your phone (i.e., there is no current fix for some of these mistakes).

Assuming you haven't flashed the wrong ROM, you can generally always get out of trouble by booting into bootloader, relocking, and running the RUU for your firmware. Most problems can be fixed by going back into recovery and re-flashing or flashing something else.
Note: Figure out what version of hboot you have before doing anything. With 1.09, modding is pretty straightforward. With 1.14, you have to take some extra steps and there are a few things you can't do at all.
Do I need to have my boot loader unlocked?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes. Leave it unlocked unless you need to RUU.

His hboot should be 1.11 which is the same as 1.09 as far as installing roms go.
If you're looking for a Sense ICS rom, I recommend ViperXL or CleanRom5. But there are other roms to try. As long as you stay in this forum and not the international forum you should be safe to flash anything you want.

Awesome thanks guys.
I check my boot loader and it is 1.11..
So that makes me happy cause all in all I'm addicted to flashing
One last question for you before I venture off on my own here..
With my nexus one I and the passimg I could flash through my bootloader in cause something went wrong or I just want to refresh my n1,is there something like that for this phone or are those days long gone?
Again thanks a bundle

Correct, stick to TWRP. There is an app called GooManager that makes installing and updating TWRP close to effortless.
If you haven't already, reboot to recovery and see what you've got installed. Some people insist on using ClockworkMod recovery because they've used it on other phones, but it's not supported for this one and can cause issues with data getting corrupted. If you have CWM installed, all you need to do is download GooManager and select "Install openrecovery script" in settings and it will replace it with TWRP.

Ya I always use twrp have for a while but what I mean is if (can?) I soft brick my phone or something happens that I can't flash from recovery is there a passimg zip like we had for the n1 that could be flash through the boot loader?
You know just in case
I only ask cause its HTC thought maybe there was something like that...could have been a Google thing too not sure..

Yes, you can still flash stuff through fastboot, if that's what you mean.

Ya that's what I mean

[Q] Trouble installing most roms

Hi guys. Loving the forums - I've been a watcher for a while, but have only just joined.
I'm having trouble installing most ROMs. They all hang at the opening screen, or continually reboot depending on which one it is. I've tried flashing boot.img with no success. I've had luck with Stuart's ROM, but was really hoping to find a stable ROM with Jelly Bean.
I've read through the noob guides and FAQs, done a heap of searches but can't find the answer, yet I'm sure I'm not the first with this issue. It looks like this guy was having the same problems, but he posted in the wrong area and I can't find a follow up...
I've rooted and unlocked all ok, can access bootloader and TWRP without any issues.
Does anyone know what I could be doing wrong? Or know where this has been answered before? Thanks a mil.

Give the members here more details. What exactly interests you in JB ROMS? What have you been trying to flash? What are you on right now?
If you wish to have a great Rom with no nonsense I'd suggest to you ViperXL. It's foolproof. I too asked questions after tons of research and tutorials. Asking questions is better than banging your head. And of course stick to this this forum for ROMS and you'll avoid a cool looking paperweight.

Thanks! I'd read through this one and had tried flashing the boot.img as it suggests for those experiencing my problem. Unfortunately it made no difference. It's a helpful guide though - unfortunately it came after I'd worked it all out for myself from other forums and posts!

Thanks Jon. I'm after Jelly Bean primarily to check out Google Now. I head up digital customer experience for a big Aussie company and am interested to see how it might help our customers (READ: Really I want to know how it can help me!)
I was on a rooted stock Telstra ROM but couldn't get the OTA JB update to work. I tried ViperXL 3.0.0, CyanogenMOD 10 and Tachi91's v2.1 MOD. ViperXL is what I want to run ideally.
Currently on Scott's CleanROM 5.1. I'm running One XL with Firmware 2.20.502.7.

By all means download Viper and flash that bad boy. Firmware 2.20 and Viper are good friends. No need to flash .img separately. While you're at it, check out some kernels in the Venom Hub.
You came to the right place for help though. Never think you can't ask a quesrion hers if you think research hasn't answered it for you.
I've been trying Google Now but it's not doing much for me. Still playing with it.

regarding Viper, I just downloaded 2.4.0 and honestly don't know what to do next. Do I just move the file to the phone while it's plugged in? I rooted and unlocked last night, and installed twrp. I didn't want to start a thread about this and am having trouble finding the answer. Any help is a big thanks.

First and foremost, go into recovery (twrp) and make a backup. The backup is just that, a backup in case something goes wrong.
Now that you have a backup, plug your phone into you pc (assuming that's what you have) and select your phone to be mounted as storage.
Next, open your file location for your phone.
Next, locate Viper Rom.
Now, copy Viper (just drag and drop) it into your phones sd card.
Ok. Now you should copy your backup you made in twrp previously. Now you have it backed up in two locations.
Let's get started:
Boot into recovery (twrp).
Select Wipe and do the next 4 steps INSIDE twrp!
Now wipe dalvick cache.
Now wipe cache.
Now wipe system.
Now do a factory reset.
Now Select Install in twrp.
Find your Viper folder zip.
Select it.
Swipe to flash!
Follow Aroma Installer options to your liking.
Please be patient as it takes a while. Also, when it first boots it takes a while.
Any more questions, just ask us

That sucks but it will be fun to learn about all the tweaks and such. I would go back to the Venom thread and flash the 2.4.0-->::2.4.1 update. I did the ota reset file too. Same thing you did before by wiping but you don't do or need a factory reset. Just flash those files in twrp. All up to date then.

Hmm. Viper 3.0.0 really did not work and I followed the instructions closely. Perhaps I will try Viper 2.4.0 and then, if successful, look at updating my kernel, and then updating to 3.0.0? Current kernel is 3.0.8-01558-g7f75e5b Could this be causing me problems?

Before you started to install Viper 3.0.0, what we're you on?
Sure, if let's say you had-Viper 2.4.0 but wishing to go to 3.0.0, THEN you need to flash the boot img separate since its a JB Rom.
The directions I provided are fool proof and the other user had success. So I'm wondering what you started out on before you loaded the Rom.
--------------------
Also, Viper and CleanRom are identical in the fact you DON'T need to extract the boot.img from the Rom zip as long as its under 3.0.0 (if flashing Viper). It's basically pointing twrp to the Viper zip and swiping to goodness.

So I've finally had success! Installed both 3.0.0 and 2.4.1 - I realised that I was much better off on 2.4.1 with all the venom tweaks than on 3.0.0 for seemingly not much more OS-wise, especially since I want to bypass my corporate exchange security policy, and Google Now was available as a mod.
Turns out I was trying to install on top of ROMs that wouldn't boot, and when I was trying to install from working ROMs, I wouldn't think to go back in to make sure debugging was on and fast boot was off.
The key things I've learned (which I initially missed in my initial scan of pages and pages of forum posts):
You need to install from a stable ROM that will let you boot into it
...because having a stable ROM will allow you to make sure the fast boot setting in the Power settings is off and USB debugging is on in Developer tools
You may need to flash boot.img if you're running bootloader 1.13 or above - even if the ROM installer instructs you not to
boot.img must be flashed before the installation, not after
They might sound obvious now, but this might hopefully help anyone else in my situation.
Thanks for all your help guys!
PS - LOVING Viper.

Good to hear you got it up and running. Viper was recommended to me and man once I played with it and tweaked it I'm having a hard time wanting to flash anything else. If I do its going to be 3.0.0. The tweaks and ElementalX kernel are just unreal.
P.S. Hitting the Thanks button is a good way to show your appreciation.
