So I installed "X" Rom and want to flash to a different Rom. Is all I need to do is flash a new boot.img then continue with the rest? Or would a Rom manager be more helpful?

If you are switching Roms just wipe system and factory reset. Flash boot.IMG and flash the rom

Ok trying to cover my bases. I'm stock 2.20 and looking to root and flash roms. I've done this on the one x in the past but it was during the 1.73 and 1.85 era.
Now when I achieve root and get a custom recovery pushed.... Now every time I flash a rom I need to also pull the boot.img from the zip?
And when do I flash that? Prior to the rom flash or after?
Thanks

Yes. that needs to be done after flashing ROM. if you are flashing an updated version of same ROM and if there are no changes in kernel.. no need to do that..

What exactly do you think stock recovery is going to be able to do for you?
Stock is only worthwhile if you want to complete a OTA upgrade.
But by the sounds of it you are long past booting in to a stock ROM?
Flash a RUU?
The stock recovery might fix the problem that custom recovery is currently havin with updating partition details+another user elsewhere had fixed similar problem by flashing backnstock recovery then flashing custom recovery again. And yes i currently have cm10

As of right now I can't load any Rom except for venom. I don't know what is stopping my phone from working.
Background, dropped phone in the toilet, dried it out and everything worked. Went to change roms and something got messed up during the install which cause the phone to have no Os and no usb support. Got all of that straight, reloaded the phone back to stock, rooted it again, unlocked it, and loaded venom.
I have tried to load other roms but it will install in recovery but after reboot it will stay on the loading screen for the rom.
Any help will be great. Thanks!

You have to flash the boot.img
Hate to sound like I haven't been doing this for a while but where do I get the boot.img?

*facepalm* all roms have there own boot.img. if you open your Rom you'll see what says boot. That is it and you go into fastboot and flash it or use the flash gui app

Thanks. I only ask because I have never had this issue before.

Venom has a way of flashing the boot.img for you...but otherwise since you're on hboot 1=14 you have to manually flash the boot img....dont worry that's why were here to help!

Unfortunately it sounds like when you reflashed to stock you upgraded the hboot, which in turn makes it so you have to flash the boot.img through fastboot. It's unfortunate, but there is a JET tool if you're experienced in Linux to downgrade your hboot. but, like I said, don't do it unless you're confident.
Thanks guy. I got it to work with the flash GUI. Back to clean Rom!

So i'm trying to use the flash image gui app to flash a boot.img for a ROM , but i'm getting this error " HTC one x is not supported " this is the first time this error has occurred . Any ideas??
P.s. i'm on the latest viper jellybean ROM if that helps.

Did you modify your build.prop at all?

No. Unless this ROM comes with automated buildprop tweaks.

It means I deleted what I originally wrote. I don't think you can load ViperXL in flashimagegui, check to see if the boot.img is in the root of the zip. If you are trying to flash the boot.img alone then I assume you just had a freak error or you need to update your flashimagegui.

I want to flash a kernel for CM10 but it keeps either bootlooping or goes to "Android is upgrading...". I don't know what I am doing wrong but its always come to that. Am I doing something wrong? Can someone help me?
Is it cm 10 or cm 10.1? And which kernel is it?
Cm10 and its rohan's kernel.

just use [APP] Flash Image GUI - Flash Kernels and Recoveries from normal Android mode!
or flash the boot.img with fastboot then flash the zip in twrp for the modules, make sure to wipe cache and dalvik
Okay I will try that but I thought s-off made it so that you don't have to flash the boot.IMG. (I have s-off)
