I can't flash a custom rom - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

I am using TWRP recovery, and I have tried flashing Miui and Cyanogen mod, however for both of them I am stuck at the boot logo for ever.
I factory reset the phone, wiped the cache and did everything I was supposed to do. For both of them this is the first boot, and it is not working.

Try flashing your boot.img

I'm thinking you have hboot ver 1.14.
Flash your boot.img.
Steps:
download rom
extract boot.img
place boot.img in fastboot folder
place rom .zip on sd card
clean flash the .zip
boot to fastboot
connect to pc
type "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
/dance

Before deciding to flash anything, you really need to watch this informative video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?hl=en&...ture=player_embedded&v=wwleOote5M0&nomobile=1

"Fastboot flash boot boot.img" make sure u type boot twice.
Do factory reset/wipe data and wipe cache. Flash rom. Reboot into bootloader. Fastboot flash boot boot.img. reboot phone. Then reboot back into recovery to flash gapps. Should work "
so did you already flash the (right) boot.img via fastboot?

If you haven't, extract the boot.img file from the .zip and place it where you have adb/fastboot (Android SDK). Then boot into bootloader, go into Fastboot, plug phone in for "Fastboot USB" then type the following in command prompt and reboot.
fastboot flash boot boot.img

ive tried all that boot.img from zip even another one with the download no luck just stuck on boot with that cm9 rom on loop thanks for your help though guys any other suggestions other then just shooting myself in the head??lol
Try flashing Paranoid/AOKP and then flashing back to CM9.
flash older cm9 rom?
this is my first attempt of any ROM for this phone starting with cm9 alpha 13 does anyone recomend maybe installing a older alpha?? maybe alpha 10 cm9?? idk
Try flashing the latest alpha 14. Maybe you got a bad download of alpha 13.
did you solve your problem?
if not & you're not quite shure about flashing the boot.img properly with fastboot I set up a Tutorial yesterday:
[Tutorial] How to flash a new boot.img via Fastboot
perhaps this might help you if the above one didn't fix your problems:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667929
I had the same problem. But this worked for me.
wipe all -> flash cm9 14 -> wipe all -> flash gapps -> wipe all -> fastboot flash boot boot.img ( i used the touchfix one ).
then i got in.. but took some time first load. But now i cant get wifi to work and cant see simcontacts. Drives me nuts.
Just reflashed all with no luck.

boot.img?

Hey guys,
so right now I am trying to flash a new rom (currently on trickdroid) and was considering axiom but one of the steps is to flash the boot.img but i am having trouble figuring out how to flash the boot.img through fastboot. I have installed the sdk manager and htc sync according to the how to in the development thread. But i don't know where to get the file for the boot.img and what to do after that I have watched the video and read through the how to several times. Is there an easier way to go about flashing roms, or do I have to use the boot.img process?
If you flash via TWRP, you won't have to flash boot.img.
boot.img is found in the .zip package that you flash. It should be one of the first items you see when you open the zip. This is the .zip that you install when you're in CWM. Extract that boot.img for the fastboot method, but like I said, with TWRP you won't have to flash it.
Some people have said that their boot.img's didn't flash on TWRP, but worse comes to worst is you get stuck in a boot loop and you just flash the boot.img in fastboot or restore your phone in CWM.

[Q] HELP Won't boot

Trying to root using easy ace root tool. All seemed fine until I tried to flash rom. Now phone will boot to HTC screen and stop there. I can get into CWM and hboot, I have copied files to the SD from there but I can't get it to boot normally. I have tried putting a new PD98IMD but am not totally sure I have the right one. I miss the AAHK
You need to fastboot flash a boot.img.
tried
I tried that with no change
Unlock your bootloader and flash a custom recovery (CWM or 4ext)
Download the rom zip file you are willing to flash to your PC.
Extract the the boot.img from inside the zip file (do not extract the whole rom)
Put the zip file in your sdcard.
Boot into recovery and do a full wipe (wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, format system)
Flash rom (install zip from sdcard)
Reboot into bootloader again and plug the phone to the PC.
You need to be in fastboot usb (if you see HBOOT USB PLUG in the phone, just press power to toggle)
Open a cmd/terminal and navigate to where the boot.img file is located.
Type: fastboot flash boot boot.img
Reboot and now you should be enjoying your custom rom
And what does it say when you run fastboot flash boot boot.img?
worked

Did the flash boot from here and it work using ext4
Glad you got it working. You'll need to do the boot.img flash every time you flash a new ROM.

Just got a mini

And I'm trying to figure out the steps to rooting and installing a custom recovery so I can flash a custom Rom. Anyone have the tuts on how to do this?

This guide by Ecstacy42
1. Unlock your bootloader here. Select "All Other Supported Models" and follow the instructions.
2. Download the Rom, Kernel, and a recovery, verify the MD5 checksums, and then copy the rom and kernel zips to your internal SD card. I'd recommend one of the WWE versions as they don't have a lot of the AT&T bloat.
3. Boot into the bootloader (it says how in the guide showing you how to unlock your bootloader)
4. Select fastboot, plug your phone into your computer.
5. Type "fastboot devices" to make sure it's connected, then type "fastboot flash recovery whateverrecoveryyouused.img".
6. Boot into recovery. Make a backup. Then wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik cache.
7. Reboot into fastboot, then type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" using the boot.img from the Rom you downloaded.
8. Reboot into recovery and install the rom zip using TWRP/ClockworkMod.
9. Reboot into fastboot and type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" using the boot.img from the kernel.
10. Reboot into recovery and flash the kernal zip.
11. Start up your phone, if you flashed a DeOdexed Rom it'll take a little while to boot up.

help !!

hello i have a big trouble with my htc one s, is a S4 variant and i try to boot normally but is always boot on the cwm 5.8! i reboot and is return to cwm! help me i try everything
Sounds like no ROM
From the sounds of it, it doesn't seem like you have a ROM installed.
A few things to remember when flashing new ROM's:
-Try not to ever flash dirty* (without wiping data, cache, dalvic cache, and system)
-ONLY wipe the system if you have another ROM loaded onto the internal SD card and ready to flash
-Make sure said ROM is COMPATIBLE with your phone. (Device model, in our case HBOOT [2.15, 2.16 have their differences]
-Try to update to the latest Recovery when flashing, unless stated otherwise in the ROM's OP. THEY WILL TELL YOU WHAT YOU NEED.
There is plenty more, but for your issue these may help.
Update your recovery through FASTBOOT and then use the MOUNT option to mount your SD card and add a new [compatible] ROM and try to flash it. (and if it has GAPPs, flash that AFTER you flash the ROM)
i dont flash anyrom, i just flash the recovery and write this command line "fastboot flash boot recovery*.img" (just a cut of the .img of the recovery) and after that, is allways reboot in recovery mode

Code:
fastboot flash boot recovery.img
flashes recovery to boot sector. That's why your device boots into recovery every time. You should use
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
to flash recovey correctly, unzip boot.img from your rom's zip and flash it with
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
to be able to boot into your rom
