Hey guys!
I just unlocked and rooted my HTC one s today and wanted to install a custom rom.
I've tried so many roms but none of them boot up.
CM10 booted up once but the keyboard kept crashing so I tried installing other ones like viper and cm10.1 and trickdroid but none booted. then I tried to install CM10 again and that wouldn't boot either
What am I doing wrong?

You flashing the wrong roms make sure you flashing a S3 rom.
After you flash the ROM from recovery, you must flash also proper boot.img for your new ROM. Normally you can find boot.omg inside of ROM archive.
Good luck!

Hello, change your kernel maybe it works after that.
Or your CWM version is wrong for your new rom.

how do i know which kernel to choose from ?
i installed cm10 and everything is working like charm , but when trying to install clean rom or whatever rom with the stock look , the boot logo gets stuck and nothing happens
i tried different recovery , cwm and openrecovery touch and so .. its really weird
I don´t know how it is to work with HTC Smartphones, because I only use
Sony / Sony Ericsson Smartphones.
But I think this is a way to install Stock Rom with Stock Kernel:

hboot
Are you on hboot 1.14? If so, the issue with not being able to flash kernels, etc. is normal. All you need to do is extract the boot.img from the rom or kernel you want to flash and flash it via fastboot or an app called "Flash Image GUI".
Hi!
I have couple of questions regarding boot.img, kernels and how they relate to ROMs.
1. I believe every ROM comes with a kernel. Am I right?
2. Say I'm running CM10 and decide to flash beastmode bricked kernel and later flash Viper OneS. Do I still have beastmode kernel in Viper or has the kernel now been replaced by Viper's kernel? (Answer to q 1 might also answer this one...)
3. I believe boot.img is where the kernel is in a ROM. Am I correct?
4. What else does boot.img actually contain? The name atleast refers to some stuff needed for booting...
Thans !

1. Yes, most likely. All ROMs Ive flashed has come with a kernel, either in the rom.zip file or as a separate download.
2. You will have to reflash the kernel if youre on hboot 1.14+ at least. If you are updating a ROM, as in not wiping anything, the kernel does not have to be reflashed.
In some cases you still have to fastboot flash it to get the updated rom to boot though.
3. Yes, Im quite sure it is. That has been the case with the ROMs Ive flashed at least.
4. It contains the ramdisc, which is pretty much everything related to the booting process, some settings and some other modules.

Thanks for your answer! That cleared alot.
About the question 2... So if I have a kernel other than that which came with the ROM, I just have to fastboot flash boot.img of the ROM to revert back to the ROM's own kernel?
I am on hboot 2.15.

Have you taken the stock JB update?
That upgrades something making non sense roms fail I think.
Not too sure exactly, but have read this somewhere and I'm in same position after taking JB 4.1 OTA before finding xda goodness.

Even if you've taken the 4.1 ota it will boot just no working touchscreen. Op is doing something wrong. Verify that you have a onexl and are flashing a ROM for the one xl then make sure to wipe cache, dalvik, system and do a factory reset in twrp. If you wipe system and are flashing a ROM for the wrong phone you will brick so make sure you have the right ROM and phone combo. After flashing the ROM boot to fastboot and fastboot flash your boot.IMG. if you do all that your ROM will boot.

Wait so you flash a ROM first , then flash the boot.img ?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Doesnt matter if you flash it before or after ...are you full wiping? Data system caches. .. and you're flashing thorugh Fastboot right Sith Fastboot flash boot boot.img ?
Yes. Well mostly to flash the flash boot img . I was using the flash image gui app , or the flash boot .img batchfile created here on xda. They both have worked in the past .

Similar problem
I've been having a similar problem but maybe even worse. After rooting my phone via onexroot.com tutorial I havent been able to install any custom roms. It says that the MD5 file is not found and "completes" the installation very quickly. I have tried the viper rom but i have tried the CM10 and AOKP JB. I have flashed boot.img via fastboot every time to no avail. Help please.I have ATT One X 2.20 hboot 1.14 twrp 2.4.1.0. Thanks.

I know this may sound silly but are you leaving the boot image in the zip file that you are placing in recovery? Extract the boot image from the zip but leave it in the zip file you are placing in twrp.

Yep, I just extract and copy the boot image over to user/downloads/onexrootattnew folder. Im starting to think that I did something wrong when rootin. I followed a tutorial online step by step and have twrp working and have superuser access. I'm not sure what else I'm doing wrong.

Place boot image on phone but not in any folder so that GUI can see it not in one x root. Place full zip file in downloads folder on phone storage. Use GUI to flash image. After flashing it will go into recovery. Use TWRP to install zip. Make sure you wipe system, cache and davlik cache before installing zip.
Hope this helps.

Yes it's very annoying and I can't get on any AOSP Roms or anything. I'm on viper 3.2.3 hopefully you can get on a sense based Rom that will work

Try watching a few Zedomax or Nocturnal TV Videos on youtube. Get away from onexroot videos if they are not working for you.

Sorry I'm still learning: what do u mean by use GUI to flash image. I've been fastbooting it via cmd on windows.
It's an application you can install on your phone that does the flashboot part for you. Search for " fash image gui apk " on here .

So I downloaded the flash GUI program and followed the steps via the video (thanks for that, very helpful) but after flashing the kernel (boot IMG) and hitting the recovery reboot option it didn't reboot, it didn't do anything. So I did a manual reboot into recovery and installed the zips and rebooted. I got to the Rom initiating page (this one had a unicorn) and it didn't go any further. The only other info I could offer is that I went the lazy way and emailed the boot image to myself on my comp and downloaded to my phone via the email. Not sure if that makes a difference. Any more ideas, I'm gonna try the ice cold jelly Rom and the viper xl later today.
So I just tried the viper 3.2 Rom and although it seemed to get a little further in the process, result is the same: stuck on viper logo. Only ice cold jelly left. When transferring zip files over to phone do o have to mount via twrp or can I just mount as disk drive via stock rom? At this point, unrooting and waiting for att's official JB update may be my only option. Thanks in advance for any help.

In order to make your device boot with any custom rom on it- while unlocked, s- on
you have to flash boot.img from the rom you're flashing,...
via fastboot ( on pc ) before rebooting in to system

Well that's nice helping. Boot.IMG should be flashed after flashing Rom or before?

It shouldn't matter, as long as you do both straight after each other.
Ok. For flashing Rom I have to go to tw recovery(in my case) then flash the rom then goto bootloader and flash boot image then restart the phone. Is it like this?
