I´m not sure, new in this. I root my phone, install rom manager, instal recovery, wipe data and dalvik, install zip from sd card and said everything ok, but when I start the phone shows the HTC logo and the screen turns black and nothing happens. Please help me with this. Thanks

Put the phone into fastboot. Make sure it says fastboot USB. Then extract the boot.img from the CM10.1 folder. Put it into your working directory. Go on cmd, change destination to your working directory, then type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then reflash CM10.1. Job done. Once everything's loaded, go on settings, apps, clock and then clear data. If you don't do that, the clock widget won't work.

recovery rom problem cyanogenmod7

Hi
I installed Cyanogenmod 7 and with it i added and Nscollab and I decided to change it.
Now the problem is that everytime i try to get into recovery from phone and from rom manager it displays the startup google logo and it stucks there.
iv'e heard that you can flash rom from computer. if anyone knows about program or any solution Please help me
Try to flash newest recovery form ROM manager. Sometimes it will not stay there after first flash, so try couple of times. If not, there IS the way to flash *img files from fastboot via PC. Google fastboot with other keywords, and there should be plenty of guides to do that ...
But first method should work just fine ...

yessir, if rom manager doesnt work then go:
fastboot flash recovery iLikePie.img
IN FASTBOOT MODE
and you should be good!
i tried that, i said by phone(via fastboot) and it just leads me nowhere, it comes back to same menu only and reboot and power-off works :\
What exactly did u try? Go here and try to flash it...
i cant get into the recovery. via the fastboot and via rom manager
when i tried to flash with the fastboot, i pressed on the recovery button and it shows the google startup logo, returns to the menu and it leads me nowhere.
when i tried to flash with rom manager, it reboots, and leads me to the startup google logo and stuck there. what im trying to say is that i dont have access to recovery menu (the backup, install from zip file etc).

Try reflashing recovery from rom manager. It takes a few try for it to stick. When rom manager says it flashed. Reboot recovery from within rom manager. And keep trying till it sticks. Shouldn't take more than 3times

So you tried to flash recovery.img from fastboot and everything went smooth? After that you still can't go into recovery? Strange, that should work :S

[Q] Cannot boot into recovery. Laggy phone as well.

I was just about to try updating from NScollab 1.0.39 to 1.0.40 and for some reason my nexus s refuses to boot into recovery. It doesn't seem to exist anymore. Im not sure if it is related or not but my phone became very laggy after my first failed attempt to boot into recovery. I tried fixing user permissions and rebooting many many times but it doesn't seem to help.
What does it do when u try to boot into recovery?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
It doesnt do anything. It just reboots into the bootloader.
Thank you for the quick reply
edit:
i tried flashing recovery again through rom manager and now whenever i try to boot into recovery it just hangs at the google logo with the unlocked padlock.
Hmmm
Do me a quick favor.
go here:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Ne...de#Installing_the_ClockworkMod_Recovery_Image
and download the 4.0.0.2 recovery image and save it to some directory on ur computer
then follow these steps:
1. Open up command prompt/terminal and plug in phone to computer
2. Type "adb reboot bootloader"
3. It will take you to fastboot mode. Now type "fastboot erase recovery"
4. Then type fastboot "flash recovery ____.img"
( ____ is the name of the recovery img file)
5. Now it will flash and once it says "OKAY" then scroll down using volume down into recovery and see what happens
plz get back to me bout this!
IT WORKS! It went into recovery! Thank you so so much! Is there anything else I should do or am i set to go?
i so hate rom manager! i cant believe that people still use it

Thank you so much for the quick help! btw i updated recovery from rom manager and i ran into the same problem with it not booting into recovery so i am guessing there is a problem with the latest version of recovery? I'll just reflash through the instructions you gave me.
Yeah prolly a ROM manager issue

Download the correct RUU file for your device. Boot your device into Hboot/boatloader, connect your device to your computer via USB cable. Find the RUU, right click the .exe and select run as administrator. Follow the on screen instructions. Wait until your device reboots to the lock screen and then unplug your device.
This will put you back to complete stock, but you will have a usable device. You can always start over and try again. You should remain HTC Dev unlocked though.

[Q] Need help on what to do next [Unlocked -> Now what?]

So I unlocked my HTC ONE X Rogers and I am un-certain as to what is the next step before I can try to get CM10 on my phone. I've yet to find a guide for this anywhere that is 100% accurate.
If anyone would be able to kindly point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it a lot. Thanks in advance.

You unlocked what, the bootloader? If so, your next step would need to be to flash a custom recovery (twrp) via fast boot. After that step, you drag over a SU zip to your sdcard, and flash that via recovery. Then you have successfully rooted and installed a Recovery. If you need a step by step, follow the guides on the development stickies. I personally rooted and unlocked my cousins Onex yesterday using the methods on one root.com.. even though I'll probably be slapped around for admitting that on xda lol

First and foremost make sure that you properly mount and unmount the device from your computer not doing so will cause your internal memory to get corrupted. I have made that mistake twice even knowing about it. This means on your computer think of your phone as a USB drive.
Once you have flashed recovery,
You need to flash the boot.img that comes with the ROM that you want to install. (I have used X-factor tool, simply extract the boot.img from the zip package and put it in /data/kernel/ then from the menu select "install kernel using this command" and press Install)
Then reboot your device into recovery
mount your sdcard
upload your ROM to your phone, and GApps that will work with your ROM
unmount
Install your ROM.
Install your Gapps ( or you can reboot and then install them)
It has worked for me.
I hope that helps you.

Why do I need X-Factor tool? is it not a matter of copy paste I guess? a bit confused on this front.
Mounting my sd card - how do I do that?
Link to Gapps download? or do I just install them via play store?
I am afraid to do all these steps. haha sorry for all the questions if I seem like a total idiot.

It is not a simple matter of just copy paste "to an extent" the tool gives the user a GUI to simplify the process this is the thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1952426 you need to go to his website to download the tool. It just makes it easier for people who are not too comfortable with the command prompt.
This tool goes from a locked phone to unlocked and rooted in "easier" to follow steps.
You unlock your boot loader,
Then Flash your Recovery
Then Flash your boot.img
Then install your ROM and Gapps and you are done.
About mounting/unmounting, if you have installed the recovery image (I use TWRP) when you enter recovery there is a menu, one of the options is Mount, if you click on that (and you have your phone connected to the computer via USB) then there will be several options, you want to mount your sdcard, if there is an "x" is already selected and just press "mount" then the system will mount your device as a external drive. At that point you copy your ROM and GAPPS to the phone.
To properly unmount think of your phone as a USB drive, on your computer screen (WIN) go to the notification and righ-click on the "USB" attached and select eject OR go to your "computer" window and right click on the drive that is your phone and the select eject. Once you have done that then on your phone you click unmount.
press the back arrow and go back to the main menu from there for to "Install",
select your ROM which should now be in your phone now and
slide to install.
Then to install your GApps follow the same install but this time select the gapps zip.
A link to the Gapps i can't give you since it depends on your rom if you are using CM10 just search CM10 gapps download and that will take you to the CM website.
after that reboot and you should be good.
Everyone is confusing you in this thread. Download twrp. Install. Put ROM and gapps on SD card. Boot into twrp. Install ROM then gapps. That's it

IMHO, Not everyone is as well versed as you are in this process, sometimes they need a more detailed description, anything that can me it easier for new user i think is generally better received.
telling him, install TWRD, install ROM install gapps, and you are done, doesn't help much if he is not familiar with any of this.

It shouldn't take that long maybe a few seconds
make sure that you installed CM10 first
and then the apps,
Also did you flashed your boot.img? it happened to me that it would not load unless i flashed the boot.img initially.

Well that is one weird step that has worked for me,
if you are using the X-factor tool, you extract the boot.img from the zip and put it in the folder ...\data\kernel\ within the x-factor folder in your computer not the phone.
Put your phone into fastboot mode (it should display fastboot USB)
Then you run the tool and on the left bottom side there is a menu, select "using this command" and press either install or flash i don't remember
Then try to reboot if your system load then you are good to go if not
then reisntall the ROM and the gapps
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
if you are not using the X-factor tool then reboot into fastboot
unzip the boot.img in the same folder where you have fastboot (forgot make sure the DOS prompt is in the right folder where fastboot and boot.img are)
and run this command
fastboot flash boot boot.img
and then
fastboot reboot
if the system doesn't come up then reinstall the ROM and the gapps

hmmm...
revise the process again,
if your recovery is working
then flash your boot.img (make sure that you are actually flashing the boot.img) if you are not doing it properly then you will remain in the booting logo.
with X-factor make sure the boot.img is in the \kernel\ folder that is where the tool will look in order to flash if nothing is there then nothing will be flashed.
Flashing manually you need to make sure your boot.img is in the same folder as your fastboot script and then you need to run the command stated in the previous reply.
Then reboot, this has always been the main problem you need to make sure you are actually flashing the boot.img and then reboot your phone.
If the still no loading
then go into recovery
install your ROM
then install your gapps
If I select the one I put on my SD card, should it be a zip, or the boot.img file only ? maybe that's where I am messing this up?
Edit: Nope, .zip only lol
I am still at the spinning circle. . .
I put the boot.img in my C:\hox (containing adb, adbwinapi.dll, boot.img,fastboot, Unlock_code)
and shift - Right click ->Open command from here, then did the commands you mentioned previously.
Then from there, spin circle.
Then I try to go in to recovery and install the rom from there and still after reboot spin circle.

the evita version is the correct for the US and Canada versions,
try cleaning your cache
also what version of TWRP are you using?
try using twrp 2.3.1.0
in your phone only .zip
on your computer you use the .img for flashing

Question about instaling CM10

Ive looked around the internet, and here, and cant really figure something out. Do I have to install CM10 from fastboot or can I just install the zip using TWRP?
I ask because I tried installing the stable version of CM10 using TWRP and when I reboot I just get the spinning Cyanogenmod logo for a long time. Nothing ever happens.
Am I doing something wrong?
Did you make a backup of your stock Rom? Log into that. Get flashimagegui and use on the cm10 zip then boot back into twrp and install the zip.
Or
Open the cm10 zip on your computer. Extract boot.img. put your phone in fastboot. Put the boot.img in your fastboot folder and type fastboot flash boot boot.img

Thanks a lot. I will do that right now. Appreciate the help.
Is flashimagegui an android app? Thats the only reference to it I can find.
Yes it is. There is a donation version on play store. Or there's an xda free version if you search the forums

Well, looks like something might have gone wrong and I fear I might be SOL. I used flashimagegui then returned to TWRP to install CM10. I still got the spinning log. I went to restore my backup and I cant boot back into my back up. During bootup a HTC logo comes up with some red text (like its going to go into revocery) and then the screen goes blank. Nothing happens after that. If I turn off the phone and power on again, the same thing happens. I can turn it off then and go through the steps to get back into recovery. I have no idea what do to now. Any recommendations?

what version of hboot is on your device? if it is one of the later ones (1.12+) then you'll need to flash the boot img seperately. If this is the case, (and it sounds like it , as the same thing happened to me and the symptoms where the same).
Extract it from the ROM that you are flashing (open the zip file and drag out the boot.img). Then while TWRP is running, connect the USB cable to your comp and fire up a terminal (you'll need ADB/fastboot set up and working - search google or XDA for how to do it in your operating system).
Once you have adb/fastboot working and TWRP running -> at a terminal (or command prompt on windows) use adb to push the rom onto the sdcard, and then reboot to bootloader and select fastboot.
run "fastboot flash boot boot.img" without the quotes. This should write the kernel image to the boot partition, and then you should be able to load TWRP to (wipe cache/dalvik and then) reflash cyanogen mod.
Good luck
If you can still boot into recovery, you're fine. Manually flash the CM10 boot.img with fastboot, do a full wipe in TWRP and then reinstall the CM10 zip + gapps. Should be good after that.
Thanks for the info, from both of you. Im going to try that right now.
Im trying to flash the boot.img file, but I keep getting an error. Any ideas?

C:\adt-bundle-windows\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot flash boot boot.img
sending 'boot' (5248 KB)...
FAILED (data transfer failure (Unknown error))

did you do a factory reset from the bootloader by any chance? this can corrupt the sdcard, and might cause this. only use the factory reset from recovery.
if you did, try this (http://forums.team-nocturnal.com/showthread.php/1050).

Check that it says fastboot usb on your phone. You might not be in fastboot mode.
Otherwise, maybe try a different USB port on your computer, I've had issues trying to get it to detect through a usb hub, so plug it directly inot the computer to rule this out.

I didnt use the factory reset option from the bootloader. Being that I didnt, should I still try the directions on the link you gave?
When I go into fastboot is start off just saying "fastboot". If I press the volume up or down button is changes to "fastboot usb". I didnt even think about trying a different usb port, I will see if that makes a difference.

can you get into TWRP? if you can, go to the mount menu and see if you can unmount and then remount the sdcard. If you can do this, then you have no need to do the team-nocturnal sdcard fix.
I was able to unmount and then remount the sdcard. Actually, when I went into Mount menu in TWRP to begin with it gave me the option to Mount, then unmount. Is that the same thing? Does that mean my sdcard is not mounted and should I mount it in TWRP?
I was finally able to flash the boot.img. I then went into TWRP to install CM10. It installed and now is back into the spinning logo. Im ready to give up on this. Any more suggestions?
Just a thought, should I be removing the boot.img from the CM10 zip Im trying to install?
No don't remove it. Did you wipe data/system before installing. And wipe cache/dalvik after? Also the first boot could take up to 5 minutes sometimes

Ive been trying to install the latest stable build of CM10. I decided to try the most recent Nightly now. That seemed to work. The spinning just stopped and Im on the welcome screen. FINALLY! Thank you guys for all the help. Never had such a hard time with installing a custom rom before.

No worries man, good luck with your One X, I hope the worst is behind you now.
If you are feeling confident, there is a method to downgrade your hboot so you don't need to stuff around flashing the boot image separately. This however does involve bricking and then de-bricking your device, and you'll need a linux computer to pull it off, so this isn't for everyone.
