Custom rom question.

I recently unlocked my bootloader and rooted my phone leaving s-on cos of my hboot being 2.0002 or whatever. And need a step by step to installing a custom rom with s-on. I have installed cwm recovery but cannot access it. I spent 4 hours searching on Saturday, can some kind person explain how to do it?

Put the ROM in SDcard. Turn off fastboot and switch your phone off. Then, hold Vol down button and without releasing it, press and hold power button. Hold till you see a white screen, You'll be in Bottloader mode. Press Vol down to highlight RECOVERY and press power to enter recovery. You'll be in CWM (if you flashed it correctly)
In CWM,
Backup your current (stock) ROM in Backup and restore > Backup. It's not necesary, but recommended, as you may want to come back later
Go to Wipe/Format
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Format System
Format Data
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Then, go back and select Install ZIP from SD Card > Choose ZIP from SD Card and choose your ROM. The ROM is flashed.
Since you are hboot 2.00.002, you have to go through an additional step after that, you need to flash the kernel that came with the ROM, or you'll be stuck on the white HTC Screen. Extract the boot.img from the ROM and do this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19071114&postcount=37
Reboot. You're done

Excellent. Couldn't have put it better myself.

Thank you so much!
However I installed cwm recovery from the rom manager but it doesn't show up when I go into recovery, I get a red exclamation point, I press volume up and power and it says something about e something recovery not found?
Also where do I put that command? That kinda stumped me too lol. Sorry for being a noob

OK, first you need to setup adb and fastboot. Use this guide - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1272595
Next, get CWM recovery and instruction on how to flash it here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122694
You'll be flashing it via fastboot. Instructions are there in the second thread. The command will be in fastboot too, along the same lines.
Feel free to ask if you have any other doubt. Everyone is a noob at some point

Hi again, i'm really sorry for being annoying but i dont get this bit.
I extracted android-win-tools to C and put the recovery image in the android-win-tools folder but what am i navigating to? c:\android-win-tools? Its specifically 4. that I'm stuck on.
This is slightly embarrassing!
this was so much easier on my Blade lol.

No need to be embarrassed buddy.
What point no. 4 means is that you need to move the file you want to flash (recovery.img in this case) to the folder that contains your adb files (android-win-tools, or whichever folder that you have extracted the android-win-tools that you downloaded). The rationale behind this is that when you enter the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, the fastboot will look for recovery.img in its default folder (android-win-tools, or whichever folder you've extracted the adb files to).
So here's what you need to do. For example, if you downloaded the adb files and extracted them to a folder named, let's say, xxxx, which is located in your C: then you need to take the recovery.img file and copy-paste it to the folder xxxx.
Before starting any of the procedures outlined here, first make sure adb can detect your device. (adb devices... sound familiar?)
Now boot phone into fastboot.
Now enter the following commands at the cmd prompt:
C:\Users\UPPY(or whatever)>cd\
Now you'll get the following:
C:\>
Next, you need to enter:
C:\>cd xxxx
You'll now get:
C:\xxxx>
Finally, enter the following:
C:\xxxx> fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
You should be done. I know the above looks over simplified... but i'm just trying to be extra nice here
I hope that clears your doubts.

Done! Thank you for all your help, you made it so much easier for me. its all up and running now.

Uppy said:
One last question though, where do i extract the boot image, do i put it in the root of my sd card and finally if thats the case what is the exact thing i type?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
After you've flashed your custom recovery, boot into recovery and choose install from sd card, select zip from sd card, then navigate to your rom.zip file, and confirm to flash it using the recovery (on your phone)
But since you've unlocked using HTCDev, this will not flash the kernel as the boot is still locked. You have to bypass this by flashing the kernel manually using fastboot, otherwise you'll be stuck at the white HTC splash screen (Oh! how i hate that screen!!)
The kernel is contained in the boot.img.
The boot.img is contained within the zip file of the ROM you want to flash. So when you open up a ROM.zip (for example Reaper_v1.6.zip) with winrar, you'll see various files inside. Extract the one called boot.img. This is your kernel. Copy-paste this boot.img in your adb folder (like in the previous post)
To flash it, since you've already set up fastboot, just do what you did for flashing recovery.img, and follow the instructions i gave you exactly the same way, except the last part, where instead of recovery.img, you need to type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
now type adb reboot, and boot into your shiny new custom ROM!!
You're done.

I'm getting an error when i try to connect to wi-fi, it just says error, what have I done wrong? grrr.
I think i didnt register the 3.4 boot image, will report back in a minute.
-edit- yeah i typed the command wrong thats all.

I have first read the install instructions from MIUI (saying: full wipe, flash rom) and now I have exactly what you have warned: Phone doesn't proceed, it ist stuck on the white HTC Screen.
UPDATE:
I was afraid of taking out the battery, as this may cause problems, and vol up + vol down + power just rebootet into white htc screen. The only way was indeed pulling the battery (after the vol up vol down power-reboot-gap). Then I could enter into the bootloader the regular way (vol down + power), and change to fastboot, and flash boot.img. Everything is fine now!!!

I'm glad this thread is helping more people than just myself. I'm not exactly a Technophobe but this was far more complicated than rooting my blade, Europa or racer or indeed writing the CSS files I used back on windows mobile 6.5 on my old touch 2.
I certainly needed my hand held through the first time doing this.

Rom questions

I used the hasoons2000 tool kit. I unlocked bootloader an flashed recovery twrp. What are the steps to flash cyanogen?
Noob question.. -_- don't I need to "root" then flash a rom or will flashing the rom root my phone. I had done this before just for the purpose of controlling my cpu. Soo I didn't really care for roms I just followed a tutorial. I'm inclined enough to get it done so any help would be extremely appreciated.

Ok so I need to know you're hboot boot into bootloader and that info will be on top...and that's a good question you ask why don't you have root acess yet? Well with newer HTC's we have to unlock bootloader than flash a recovery than flash a Rom or root in your case a Rom which gives you root to .... But what's your hboot? 1.14 or 1.09

1.14 thank you for tryin dude
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

Ok so for hboot 1.14 you have to fastboot flash the boot img of the Rom before or after you flash doesn't matter...so do that go wipe in recovery and than go flash the Rom and gapps

So the boot icon from the cm10mod dl I put in my phone so where, boot in recovery an install it. Using twrp
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

Nonono! So you see the boot.img from the cm download in the zip take that place it in your adb fastboot folder on your computer wherever you may have...put your phone in fastboot ..open a command prompt from your fastboot folder and type fastboot flash boot boot.I'mg

Does the img an fast boot need to be in there own folder? So do that an then throw the whole zipped rom file on the phone an install through recovery?

Boot your phone into bootloader scroll down and select fastboot and now open a command prompt with in the fastbootbadb folder on your comp and type to command I told you to...now go wipe in recovery and install the Rom it doesn't matter if you keep the boot img in the Rom zip or not

The fastboot is something accessed by going into your bootloader (by holding power+vol down). Then connect your phone to your PC and flash boot.img by typing in: "fastboot flash boot boot.img" in command prompt. The boot.img can be found in every .zip file of a rom

As kittens mentioned, boot.img needs to be in the same folder as fastboot.exe. I'd recommend making a folder for these files, somewhere easy to navigate to. You will have to open a command prompt window, then change directory to the folder containing boot.img and fastboot.exe.

tried it, when i turn it on it has the first screen an says devo mode **** an the the screen goes black. plz help i want it normal im done with this

[Q] No OS, can't get to bootloader or recovery

Hey everyone, I just went through the process of rooting my phone using the Hasoon200 tool (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1952426). Everything worked fine; I unlocked the bootloader, flashed the TWRP recovery, and installed CM10. However I couldn't get past the CM10 loading screen so I went back to recovery and wiped everything I could (cache, dalvik, system, factory restore) then rebooted. After that I can't get past the white HTC "Quietly Brilliant" splash screen. No bootloader or recovery. Hasoon2000's tool can't reach the phone to do anything. Holding Down Volume and Power buttons just reboots to the splash screen. When I plug the USB into my computer it must be recognized somehow because it connection notification sound plays but I don't see the drive. What can I do now?

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
Than select recovery
And once in bootloader check if you have hboot 1.14
---------- Post added at 03:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:36 AM ----------
When you get back into recovery do the same wipe process than flash the Rom...if you have hboot 1.14 you have to flash the boot.img manually

Thanks for the response. I'm able to reach the bootloader now, but when I select recovery it freezes once again on the white HTC splash (but this time with the HTC Dev red text below). And I do have hboot 1.14

New to this phone and was a little overeager. I unlocked bootloader, rooted, installed TWRP and flashed CM but didn't flash the boot img before flashing CM so it boots forever, of course (I'm so dumb...)
I can get back to the bootloader where I try to flash my CM boot img but adb won't detect the device (presumably because usb debugging isn't selected since I can't boot into the rom). How can I either 1) get adb to detect so that I can flash the boot img with adb or 2) flash the boot img without adb?
Stumped. Thanks in advance for any/all that can help with this.

Hey! Thanks for replying. I'm stuck here. Fastboot flash of the boot img requires the phone to be usb detected, yes? I go to fastboot but when I type 'adb devices' I gets nothing back.
I don't think I was clear in my earlier post. I have CM and gapps flashed but it won't boot into the OS because I didn't flash the boot img first but now I can't get the phone to be detected by adb so I don't know how else to flash the boot img. Thanks for taking the time to reply to me. I realize you didn't have to.

Folks, I was stuck in similar situation as well; I had missed copying the boot.img step initially and after i did a factory reset on the boot loader i got stuck in HTC logo screen with red lines warning.
I followed the directions provided on this thread and am now able to get into TWRP recovery screen. What would be the steps for me now to flash a rom onto the device again. I had flashed the ViperXL rom prior to me stupidly doing the factory reset.
Per directions on another thread, I was trying to first have the rom and boot.img loaded using the mount from TWRP. However when i do the the step of 'Mount USB storage', I get the warning that on my computer that i need to 'Format Disk drive'. Not sure why would i need to do it.

Doing a factory reset from the bootloader killed your SD partition. You'll need to format it as fat32 before you can access it again. You've lost everything on there.

May be you need to flash boot image again.
Extract boot.img from custom or stock rom(whichever you use) and paste it in othe fastboot folder.
Hold down volume down key+power key and you should boot into bootloader.
Choose fastboot(using powerbutton).
Connect your phone to pc(ensure that proper drivers are installed).
Now 'fastboot' should turn to ;fastboot usb' in your phone. If it doesn't, drivers are not installed.
Hold down shift in the folder where you have fastboot.exe and boot.img and right click on any empty space.
Click on open command prompt here.
Type fastboot devices
If something comes up,your device is connected and you can proceed. Else check your connection.
Type fastboot flash boot boot.img.
It would take a few seconds and you have your boot image flashed.
Type fastboot reboot.
Try if this works for you.

Assuming you have a working adb setup installed on your pc (if not follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1152148)
1. connect your phone to pc
2. extract the boot.img of your roms .zip file and place it in your platform-tools folder (or where fastboot is located on your system)
3. type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" (on your phone it should read "fastboot usb")
4. type "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
5. when finished type "fastboot reboot"
and you are ready to go.
Remember since you are s-off, there is no need to have smartflash enabled, so disable it in your recovery...

All i know is that it would only happened if i i'm on s-on, i'm s-off, and everytime i try to disable smartflash on recovery, it went enabled again
