Do full wipe and the use the recovery to reboot back into it then flash rom without the wipe.

Wipe and try again... You got impatient the boot.IMG part takes a long time... Just start the flash and put your phone down... Leave it alone until its done...if you don't get an error it will finish just wait...

Yeah, dont interrupt the installer. It installs some other important stuff after the boot.img.
And yes, it takes a long time. If nothing has happened after 15min or so, then it might be something wrong.
For me, the boot.img part seems to take between 5 and 10min, depending on the weather outside, the alignment of the stars etc

Problems After S-Off

I have an AT&T One XL and have had problems recently. I unlocked my bootloader last year on the 2.20 firmware, which is how the phone came. I was able to flash ROMs no problem. About 3 weeks ago I decided to go S-Off with the whole thing. The S-Off was successful, I immediately flashed a new splashscreen and it is confirmed in bootloader that I am S-off. Last week I tried to flash the stable CM10 build, but it was unsuccessful. I found that the only ROMs I am able to flash are Sense ROMs 4.1.1 and above, or AOSP ROMs that are 4.2.x or above. I am on hboot 1.14 and I am very confused as to why I cannot flash properly. I am on TWRP 2.4.1.0, but have used various recoveries trying to solve the problem. I have also RUU'd trying to fix the problem, but to no avail. Any help would be much appreciated!

Twrp 2.4 has issues with wiping properly. Have you tried a different version or wiping with adb in fastboot?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

From what I understand twrp 2.4.1 should be working but I would flash 2.3.x just in case, then do fastboot erase cache. Then wipe cache, dalvik, system, factory reset.
If you RUUd and are s-off why are you still on 1.14? You may as well go up to 2.14 then downgrade touchscreen to use AOSP. Super easy.
Since S-OFF is just a security flag, I am 100% sure it's not the cause of your issue.

I haven't wiped in fastboot because I thought that's what wiping in recovery was for, I really appreciate all of the input and I will be trying both of these things as soon as I'm done with dinner. Man's gotta eat, ya know :laugh:

Lol. Yep.

As a question, what is the difference between wiping cache in recovery and the fastboot command?

Downgrade twrp to 2.3.3.1
Sent from the HOXL dimension of S-OFF

The fastboot command wipes a cache related to the recovery. Wiping cache in recovery wipes a cache relating to the rom.

So I wiped cache via fastboot, and flashed the ROM like i normally would (wipe everything in recovery), but nothing has changed. I still get hung up on the splashscreen when trying to boot the new ROM. ViperXL boots fine when I restore my NANDroid backup, though.

Did you try flashing the boot.img after? You're still on hboot 1.14 afterall. I haven't seen first hand if you can skip flashing the boot.img with s-off, in your case, it seems not.

Even without flashing the boot.img, it should go past the splashscreen to the boot animation, am I wrong?

You are wrong. It may depending on the kernel previously installed

Sorry to sound like a complete noob, I've been rooting ect for 2.5 years and never seen this problem. Could you please explain a bit more what you mean by the previous post. Are you saying it's the kernel or the boot.img not being installed correctly?

flashing the boot.img is flashing the kernel. you don't sound like a complete noob so don't worry.

alright so just to be sure. first off youre on twrp 2.3.x right?
you wipe cache, dalvik, system and factory reset right?
then you flash the rom and the boot.img right? (doesnt matter what order these are flashed)
and still bootlooping?

Exactly, but just to be 100% clear, I am getting stuck at the splashscreen, and it just sits there infinitely.

[Q] Fresh Start

Hi all, I just wanted to start by saying that xda is the shizz and has helped me through thick n thin. Anywho, I have a custom Rom and am trying to go to a different Rom. ViperX to be specific. I've tried before, but with little success. Extracted boot.img, fastboot flash boot boot.img in the command, put the Rom on my sd and installed via TWRP. Problem is, is that it never boots, only the HTC boot screen with the red writing. Anyone have any suggestions on what I need to do? I'm still S-on, but from what I understand, that doesn't matter if you fastboot the boot.img via command prompt. I also have Hboot 1.14.
Thanks.

Because you are S-ON with hboot 1.14 you ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS need to fastboot flash boot boot.img from the rom you are flashing.
That being said, Sounds like you are on TWRP 2.4.x please confirm.
If so, fastboot flash twrp 2.3.x.x
then fastboot erase cache
then wipe cache, dalvik, system, factory reset
Install rom and fastboot flash boot boot.img
Keep me posted.

Apparently there's a TWRP 2.4.4 out, would it hurt me to flash the latest version?

Yes. It would hurt anyone with a one xl as 2.4 does not wipe our device properly. I tested 2.4.4 myself.

ok, well I found another problem you might be able to help me with, but I'll shoot it to you anyway. I just found out my phone was originally a One X when I got it from the ATT store. Now apparently after I flashed the Rom I got (odex-JB-Sense4+.zip), It's saying my phone is an XL. Seems to me I have a whole new set of issues. Did I flash the wrong Rom? I though I did enough research to find a compatible Rom. How do I find out for sure what's going on with my phone and how to fix it properly?

No problem you have the correct ROM, if you had flashed wrong one it would have not worked correctly. Depending on the ROM sometimes it will show XL instead of X.

One xl is the proper model name, code named Evita, not to be confused with the real HTC One X international quad core version.
So in other words, nothing is wrong. This is normal. If you flashed the wrong rom you would know as you would now have a paperweight

ok cool, I was kinda confused there for a sec lol. Ok, now for the TWRP. I'm assuming you were referring to 2.3.0.0? just because there is a 2.3.0.0, 2.3.1.0, 2.3.3.0, and a 2.3.3.1. I just want to make sure I have the correct one for Hboot 1.14

Doesn't matter which one. I use 2.3.3.1 myself.

Except for ViperXL (and old builds of CleanROM, which may also happen with future builds if/when scrosler gets AROMA back in there) which is intended to flash the boot.img in AROMA.
Although, it doesn't always work for some folks, so they have had to flash boot.img manually. So yes, if at all in doubt (and you have a boot loop) flash boot.img manually.

[Q] how to get back to stock rom?

Hello.
I made a terrible mistake and i delete my entire system, whitout backup first.
my device is now rooted, with twrp. I tried a several ruu, but i can't find one for version 1.18.709.3. my cid is HTC_621.
I also tried a several roms with sense 5, but the wi-fi data can't work. Right now i have no operating system.
Do you have any ideas what should i do for getting back on stock rom, no twrp and unrooted? Kind regards.

Open the rom zip and extract the boot.img file to the adb folder
Connect the phone to pc
opened cmd
restart phone in bootloader
type adb devices, but my device serial number arent showed here, but i have installed htc sync
Type "fastboot erase cache"
Type "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
Type "fastboot erase cache" again
Type "fastboot reboot recovery" to get to CWM or TWRP, but the command doesn't work. still, i enter manually on recover
Backup system, data, and cache but it says "failed on cache"
Factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, format system
Install the rom from sd card.

Did you have a cwm based recovery then flash twrp? That happens when you switch. If so you have to flash a non touch cwm then flash twrp and wipe cache after every flash

I think the process is:
Non touch CWM

i only say this bc my manager had the first gen and i had to flash cwm for him to get his dialer to work

This is a CWM - TWRP issue. If he flashes back to CWM it will work again.
