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.

I just installed CWM via odin and all seemed well then I tried installing two different ICS based roms and both resulted in being stuck in a reboot loop. Could I have done something wrong? I have tried some fixes I saw posted around but nothing fixed the issue.
make sure u use darksidr before every flash. Also make sure u wipe dalvik cache. Did u install the uclca4 radio before u tried those roms?

1. What's darksidr? I backed it up so I can go back... I just want ICS
2. I did dalvik twice
3. No, one ICS rom said you needed to install radio but the other didn't and on the first step of installing the rom it looked like the radio may have been packaged with the rom. Where can I find the radio download?
Got the radio and no luck =/
flash superlite 5.1, it does all the work for u
I flashed superlite 5.0, where is 5.1?
but 5.0 did it all for me too and didn't work =/
loom for darkside wipe and flash it. Superlite 5.1 just got posted, try it. If that doesn't work, odin back stock, reflash cwm, and flash superlite again.

I did everything you mentioned. I installed odin, installed CWM, found a rom, did everything the developer instructed me to do, the developer was aware of the problem and none of his fixes worked for me so I was advised to ask elsewhere. Yeah, I don't flash roms every week like I used to with my HD2 and this is my first time really messing with radios so I asked for help. That's what the forums are for.

After Odin, did u boot into the phone and let it cycle and then install Odin cwm? Give that a try. Also, most of the updated ROMs already have the proper radio, no need to flash. Let us know how it goes.
Run the: ics odin one click. Then odin cwm recovery. Then flash ics rom. Or just flash this rom and you'll be good to go

In cwm its also very important to format /system before you flash the new rom. You didn't really mention if you did that or not, so I'm just saying, just in case

Afternoon iLiberate,
What carrier are you with?
~PsyCl0ne
EDIT: Actually you know what come over to [RoM] ~[4.0.3.]~TEAM PERFECTION~REVAMPING
Now a couple of things before you start.
I am using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1472954 for my recovery. I have had issues with a newer version but this one has helped me through a ton of issues I have had.
(Flash this with ODIN first)
I also recommend getting a wiping script DARKSIDE Super wipe. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487706
(Give props to the guy that put this script together. Keep the zip file some where easy to access, you will be moving it to your phones external SD card along with the rom zip and kernel files.)
When you go into the TeamPerfection thread it is gonna be kind of confusing looking at all the links. Basically you will see 3 Themes (AOSP ICE, KOBALT, Phone Candy) then a link to a rom that is already themed, and finally the stock rom which you will need if you want to flash any of the three themes I listed earlier. For now I would just go for the Sense release we can always change what it looks like later.
Also you will need a kernel.
If you're with AT&T I would suggest getting Mohan's kernel. If you're with a Canadian carrier I would suggest Romracer's kernel.
From here you can basically follow the guide in post number 3. It is really simple just need a little patience and it will go through. Also if you have any titanium backups from Gingerbread, please don't restore those apps when your phone comes back up. Just scribble down a list of apps you currently are running, make backups of SMS/MMS if you wish and then manually download them one by one from the market. Then you can make a Tibu of the apps so if you want to change what your phone looks like you can just restore all the apps in one go.
If you need any more help please feel free to PM me, I honestly don't mind or even post back here. Gonna be doing some work around the house but I'll check back periodically.

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?
just rooted with the new 2.20 exploit! ive had this phone since june and ive seen multiple accounts where people have flashed international one x roms on there att one x.

Stay in the "AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL" forum (look up top) and you'll be fine. ROMs are in the Development subforums.
Isn't it annoying how they hide all the ROMs from us? They really make you dig for them! (<----click there!)

okay so I entered "fastboot flash boot boot.img" after I replaced the boot.img file. It went back to the bootloader screen and selected recovery. It stays black.
I tried resetting the phone, going back to recoverty, get sent to the TWRP app. When i look under install under the sdcard, I dont see any roms.
Retrying a second time, reentered "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and am now stuck on the HTC Screen with red text "this build is for development purposes... etc"
what am i doing wrong?
If I ever actually get my phone into recovery mode I'll let you know -.-
Edit: Alrighty. That was annoying but I got it done. Shoulda known not to bother with automatic things -.-
Ended up having to manually flash TWRP to finally get it to stick. I think I'm going Nocturnal for now. Seems to have alot of goodies in it that I might enjoy. Eventually I'll probably "step down" to the slickest, smoothest, fastest ROM I can find and manually add in everything I intend to use though.
Been a LOOOOOOONG time since I had a device you could even flash though so I'll probably end up flashing excessively for a while. Havn't had one since my Xperia X1 was ran over and rained on... HEYYYY... X1... One X (1X) ! It's destiny

Yeah this is what i did, but i was unable to get it to recovery. In wiping the data i seemed to have wided the sd card clean. It shows as unmounted in the TWRP mount menu. I have no idea what to do from here.
I cannot find the rom anywhere, even after i fast boot boot.img

Download on your PC and either try to transfer to SD card that way by mounting or adb push the file to your phone once in recovery. If that doesn't work you will have to run back to 2.20 and reroot.
When you were wiping you didn't press wipe external storage because that's what wipes the data off your SD.

Speaking of flash all the things, I'm already considering getting rid of Nocturnal. Apparently it makes it difficult to access the menu button. Several of the programs I use offer no other method of accessing the menu.

Its quite simple, as others have mentioned just stick to the Development and Original Development subforums in this "AT&T, ROgers HTC One X, Telstra One XL" section and you will be fine.
Or just stick to my index thread, which is an organized list all the ROMs and other mods: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237
If you wander into the forum section simply labelled "HTC One X" with no mention of AT&T, you are in the wrong place (forum section for the international version).

Which Nocturnal ROM, there are like 4 of them (or more)? If its a Sense based Nocturnal ROM, just remap the "recents" button as with stock 2.20 in Settings>Display, gestures & buttons>Buttons. But I don't think there is an option to bring back the horrid 3-bar menu button for apps that don't have one built-in (if that is what you are looking for).
Not sure about the AOSP Nocturnal ROM, haven't used that one myself. But the AOSP ROMs usually have a button remap in settings as well.
please help! I do NOT care about my root, I do NOT care about my data I just really want this to be fixed, I'm almost crying, I have no idea what to do, all i wanted was a custom battery so i downloaded one, loaded it into some app called metamorph and it said it was all good but when i restarted my phone the notification bar was gone. I cannot pull it down and this is my first android device, I have had it for 3 days and it cost me a lot of money! please help I will do anything whatsoever, I'm so worried, I'm only 16. I tried restoring my phone to factory settings, wiping my memory card as if that would do anything. please help it's all I ask!
Hi there, I have had this problem before. I am no dev so I can't explain the technical issue, but this usually happens when you flash a mod that's not compatible with your ROM... if its compatible and your ROM has updated, the mod sometimes needs to be updated to be compatible with the latest version of your ROM.
Reflashing your ROM will completely fix the issue. I hate to say it, but ALWAYS do backups before flashing anything through recovery!!!

He's not rooted it seems. You first need to calm down. Then, go to settings -> About phone and see what build you have. If it's 2.20 then go here. If it's 1.73 or 1.82 go here. If it's 1.85 then go here. Once rooted, if you have anything but 2.20 you won't need to flash the boot.img seperately. In order to flash the boot.img go here.

i am rooted on software 1.85 please help me get this stupid notification bar back, it happened when I used Metamorph to change my battery
Is there possibly a way to revert to the original through "metamorph"? Most tweaks or apps like this only work on certain devices, so check the reviews or description more thoroughly if it doesn't say your device.

That happened to me on my old LG G2X. I tried to do something similar with a different program. It was messing with SystemUI.apk. I had created a backup before it did its work so I just replaced it, rebooted and it was fine. Might not be the same problem just because the symptoms are similar. If you had an unmodified SystemUI.apk file you could probably just overwrite it. Worst case, just flash a new ROM.
But yeah, in the future always take backups before you do anything like that. I learned that the hard way a few times.

In that case just back everything up and reinstall the rom.
Thanks

thanks for everyone's help, i figured out that I did not have bootloader installed so I got that (it was a ***** because I had to fake the CID which took forever) and I installed a new ROM, thanks for the help guys, really means a lot to me
[SOLVED]
Hi,
I installed Cleanrom 7.1 on my HBOOT 1.19 HOX. The phone booted up fine after I flash the boot.img from the ROM.
Here is where the problem started. The reboot causes the phone to pretty much go blank after the HTC build warning screen. If I flash the boot.img, it goes back to the phone and is usable until I reboot it again.
The ROM itself is very smooth to use, but I am wondering, what is wrong with the ROM install, Is the boot.img not being saved ?
Any help would be appreciated, this is the only ROM which seems to be stable, apart from this issue.
Device details
AT&T HOX
HBOOT 1.18
S-ON
Radio - 0.19
TWRP 2.4.20
You need to upgrade your firmware to 2.15, that's been stated in the Cleanrom thread.

I upgraded the TWRP recovery to 2.6 and flashed CleanROM again, but same result. I have tried to follow the Facepalm S-OFF procedure, but after the flashing of the OneX zip, the adb commands have no effect, I keep getting a "device not found" error. I think there is a ADB environment issue, ever since I flashed a custom ROM on the phone.
Try flashing a different ROM to get s-off and make sure you have usb debugging enabled.

HBOOT is my biggest obstacle, I am S-ON, and I am not sure how to get to do that without getting to S-OFF. I will keep trying to S-OFF anyway.
I finally found my solace in CleanROM 6.5. Thank you developers, out of blue it all worked suddenly. The reboots are less frequent, but the battery life is just amazing, as good as stock, I might dare to say.
I am still unable to do s-off and I am rooted and the file flashes, but the adb commands still fail. I am taking a break and giving this ROM sometime before launching again. :angel:
Patience paid off
I would like to thank and close out the thread.
I found out the issue with the ADB environment & was able to finish off s-off , firmware upgrade & move to CleanRom 7 since yesterday and it is looking good.
For the masses, if it is of any interest. These are the steps I followed.
a. Download the ADK (Android Dev Kit) ~470MB (This was the only option which worked for me)
b. Extract & copy the folder platform-tools to C:\ as android
c. Set the environment path to point to this folder. This would resolve all your *device not found* errors while running ADB.
If not, then
1. Remove all HTC drivers & sync software
2. Run a registry cleaner like Ccleaner to remove any leftout entries.
3. Download & run the latest HTC sync software.
4. Once Install has completed, connect your phone & switch on USB debugging. The PC would recognize the phone & install most drivers.
5. Fire up a CMD window in the Android folder & run "adb devices". If you see your phone listed, you're good to go.
Else,
6. Reboot the phone to bootloader & give it a wait. It should install the Android phone 1.0 device driver.
7. Boot the phone to Android & wait for system to install all drivers once more.
8. Run the command in step 5 again to verify that system recognizes your device.
If the above steps work, go ahead and s-off your phone. Then do the firmware upgrade & you should be able to run any ROM without issues.
Good news, maybe update the title of the thread to [SOLVED] so anyone else with the same problem can see it easily.

Hey I'm looking for cleanROM 6.5 for my freshly rooted and unlocked AT&T HOX. Can you point me in the direction of that 6.5 download? The dev-host link for it isn't working anymore, and I can't seem find it anywhere else. If you got it from there before it went down, I don't suppose you still have the zip file? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

If you are still out there looking for the ROM let me know. I can try putting it up what I have on the websomewhere and share the link. It's been ages since I came back to XDA due to my world travels.
