Now that we have root for the 2.20 firmware of the One X one of the downfalls is having to flash a boot.img everytime we flash a rom. I know we can flashboot the boot.img but most of us are not always near a computer.
I emailed the developer for the app Flash GUI and asked if our ONE X will be added. He replied almost immediately and will add the ONE X but he needs testers familiar with adb.
I am not very good with adb so I am asking if someone with better skills then I to contact him and help get this going please. His name is Joey and he will be following this thread.

App developers name is joey and he wants to test in irc on channel #gen-dev so if anyone catches him in there Go test it shouldnt take long. I know the 2.20 guys would love it

we did some testing and i think we got all the angles working. we can flash boot.img alone, boot.img in a kernel zip and boot.img in a rom zip.
also everyone should thank joeykrim for making Flash Image GUI and dorkboy69 for making this thread and getting support started.
Great news!

So we will be able to get a full rom.zip and flash it like prior to the new hboot?
I have been using the script with an terminal emulator but still had to have to boot.img separate.
This would be handy!

No this app will allow you to flash a kernel or boot.img from the phone before flashing a new rom. No need for a computer.

Does htc allow flashing system.img on BL unlocked devices from fastboot? If so, seems it would make sense to just do it all from there. GUI flasher could parse CWM standard zips and do it all from fastboot with no need to 2-step.

I don't believe so but I could be wrong. I just know that a boot.img has to be fastbooted before flashing a rom or kernel

app
App has been updated in play store and I used it to flash rohan kernel #4 on cm 10. For those new to this don't forget to extract the boot.img and put on the root of the sdcard.
This app works awesome, just flashed viper 2.1 and everything is good. Although it didn't reboot into recovery like it said it would so I had to do it manually
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda premium
Mine rebooted to recovery, did you select reboot to recovery or just reboot?
Sent from my One X using xda premium
with this app you don't have to extract boot.img from the zip
That disclaimer when you start it up is just warning us to make sure that we have unlocked our bootloader, right?

Haven't tried that app, but if you're replacing a system file, you'll probably need to adb push or use a root file explorer to overwrite it.

You need to flash the .zip file in Recovery. You can't install it by running the apk file.
On the One S, you can only write to the System partition through Recovery as there is no S-Off.
Im going to try flashing it. Sorry kind of new at this stuff

nope. use fastboot to flash recovery. nexus s hacks has links to everything you need. (USB & fastboot drivers, recovery img files, and su zip files)
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
replace the recovery.img with the actual filename of your recovery IMG file, then place the su zip on the root of your SD card & flash through recovery. I use cwm, but there are others available.

Sounds like you're missing drivers or not in fastboot usb screen in bootloader.

It says fastboot USB...guess I'll try and reload the drivers.....sidenote...TWRP is on my phone but it won't let me flash a Rom....I'm so confused

Do some reading
I've read and read and read I actually just flashed the recovery via fastboot and everything went ok I guess but I still don't have supersu and there is no option for twrp when I turn the phone on in BL mode but when I select the.recovery option the twrp pulls up....weird.....but it won't let me.flash anything..
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Well of course there will be no option for trwp in bootloader it's stock ..what do you mean twrp won't let you flash anything what Rom are you even trying to flash

Nope how would you just think where would root come from....at this point you flash root or a rom a will give you root access
---------- Post added at 03:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:55 PM ----------
What do you by it won't flash
I think you are quite confused. This often happens when one does not read enough and gets excited a starts doing stuff.
How things work:
First off. Super su is an application the exists on a rom that is rooted.
With the one x, you are not actually rooting the ROM that is on the phone. You are just unlocking the bootloader which allows you to flash a custom recover which allows you to flash roms that are already rooted. Once you flash a rom that is rooted you will have a root management utility be it super su or an equivalent.
Make sense?

Hello I just got the one s I have rooted and s-off. I have seen that you have to flash the kernel (boot.img) via fastboot or use the flash img Gui app witch extracts the kernel from the Rom .zip and instals then you install the Rom after. Witch I have done with the cm 10.1 and the viper rom. qustion is do I even need to worry about flashing the boot.img if I am s-off? Thanks for the help in advance.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
No you don't need to use flash image GUI or fast boot, just flash a ROM straight from recovery

Great app but this isn't an official one.
The XDA thread has been closed and there's no update on Google Play for 2 months.
I don't know if jmz still has other projects... Flashify is also a great app to directly flash the img files without a PC.
I heard that
Code:
fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
works pretty well...

It doesn't hurt to know all the options and procedures. Actually OP would have already known this if he hadn't used a toolkit to root in the first place
-1 for toolkits
But yes, options are:
Fastboot flash img
recovery install zip
Flashify flash img
Thanks to all for the help suggestions , but yeah I used a tool kit which means I don't know how to do it manually that's why I asked for the easiest way to update .

It would be good to learn how to do it manually. It's really pretty easy. And you'll know your phone better and know how to do things yourself.
