Okay I (finally) manage to unlock the bootloader and root my HOX running jellybean 4.1.1. Now I want to install ViperXL (or ViperX, whichever is more preferred) as a custom rom but I have had boot issues that I want to avoid. The last time i flashed ViperXL after rooting my phone, it would load past the HTC screen only to stay on a blank, black screen and do nothing even though its turned on. I never got to the ViperXL screen. I ran ViperXL before when my phone was running ICS so I should be able to run it again even after updating my phone to Jellybean. right? I should point out what I did differently this time while rooting was install ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.3.1 instead of TWRP. Below is my Bootloader info as I feel it will be necessary in solving my problem. Sorry if this was posted by someone else and dealt with elsewhere, I couldn't find exactly what I was needing help with.

*update* Flashed TWRP after discovering it is required. My question still stands. How do I avoid the seemingly infinite black screen after flashing ViperXL in TWRP?
You have to flash boot image in fastboot.
1. Extract boot.img from rom zip.
2. Put in fastboot directory
3. Connect phone to PC
4. adb reboot bootloader
5. (once in bootloader) fastboot flash boot boot.img

Until you get S-OFF, you will need to always flash the kernel from roms separately using fastboot.

Just to be clear, you are talking about the boot.img in the ViperXL zip r and all this can be done in a CMD window, right?

Correct, and correct. Just put the boot.img in your adb/fastboot folder and flash it in fastboot.

Stuck on Viper XL splash screen reboot
I understand what I did, now, after reading posts. I installed the Viper XL ROM via TWRP but my phone is S=On!
I didn't realize I needed to flash the boot.img file. Now my One X is stuck in ViperXL splash screen and I cant get into recover or anything because it just continues to restart the phone. I will glady donate money to anyone who can get me to at least get my phone to boot into recovery.
I am not a noob completely I have rooted and added custom roms to a lot of HTC phones, the S on and off thing is new and I messed up not taking more time to work on my S off issue before attempting to install the ROM.
Just hold the volume down key, then when it restarts it'll go into bootloader.

And I'm getting nowhere. I am not able to install any roms (they all get error messages or just doesn't work) and I'm not able to install a RUU. I have tried taking the recover image from several RUUs, flashed them and then installed the RUUs after I locked the bootloader. No luck there so far. Innstall gets errors halfway trough.
I really need to fix this and I've been trying for 4-5 hours now. I really hope anyone has some solution to this. Right now I would be very happy just to be able to use my phone again no matter the rom.
Sensation S? You mean Desire S, right?

Now you can flash a ROM
I recommend ViperSaga: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1983604
After flashing the ROM, open up the zip on your computer, extract the boot.img, and flash it via fastboot.
So:
1. Wipe data/factory reset from within recovery
2. Flash the ROM (you can use adb to push it to your sdcard even while you're in recovery; e.g. adb push rom.zip /emmc/)
3. When done, reboot; immediately after pressing 'reboot' in your recovery hold down VOL- or you'll be stuck on the white HTC screen and have to wait until the battery runs dry
4. Go to fastboot
5. Extract the boot.img from the rom zip on your computer
6.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
7. Done

Hey, First post and it going to be about whether my phone is bricked for good or not. =/ I'd really appreciate some help as I've clearly not researched enough into this.
-My Rogers HTC One X had previously been rooted and unlocked to hboot 1.09 with cyanogenmod.
-I wanted to install Android Revolution HD, so i figure I needed an hboot update. I went ahead and flashed the phone with the 'firmware.zip' in 'OTA_EVITA_UL_JB_45_S_Rogers_WWE_3.17.631.2_0.23a.32.09.29_10.128.32.34a_release_299850qstr7rxdbfuofl6j.zip' (HUGE MISTAKE)
-After flashing, I tried to install Android Revolution HD but it had crashed mid way.
-Im able to access hboot and Im also able to go into fastboot and recovery (recovery-clockwork-6.0.2.8-evita).
-Rebooting the phone results in a blank screen after the HTC loading screen. So no adb.
My hboot shows this:

I've tried locking it, flashing it with PJ83IMG.zip but it says: 'FAILED (remote: 44 hboot version check fail)'.
I've tried running 'RUU_Evita_UL_Rogers_WWE_1.94.631.3_Radio_0.18as.32.09.28L_10.103.32.24L_release_268972_signed.exe' but it gets half way and has Error 155.
Can anyone recommend a rom that will work in this configuration?
Any chance that I can still get S-off on the phone?
Any way to recover the phone at all? Just to be clear, I've flashed my Rogers phone with a Rogers OTA.
Thanks!
Dude you are ****ed! no way to recover from that!..

All joking aside.
Download TWRP 2.3.3.1 It is compatible with the most ROMS and isn't buggy. Check MD5 and fastboot flash recovery twrprecovery.zip <-- replace with actual zip file name.
then fastboot erase cache
Boot to recovery
Wipe cache dalvik system and factory reset and flash any ROM designed for evita.
Because you're S-ON and on an HBOOT >= 1.14, you'll also have to extract the boot.img from the rom and flash it separately "fastboot flash boot boot.img", unless otherwise indicated on the ROM's thread, usually in the OP.
As a side note, you shouldn't have rooted, you have a lot of reading to do.

If you are going to s off, no need to really downgrade. This because you are turning security checks off. So it actually makes things a bit easier, and decreases the chances of bricking. I'm s off and on hboot 1.14 and was able to flash plenty of roms without a computer.
Sent from my Carbon-ize Evita using xda-developers app
You're not limited. You just need to fastboot flash boot boot.img any time you flash a ROM. If you're not a flashaholic like most of us, it's no big deal.
I wouldn't RUU with S-ON though, even though you didn't supercid, I bricked without supercid running an RUU after rooting.
So, if you don't plan to RUU you don't need to S-OFF either.
If you do intend to S-OFF, since you didn't need to supercid to unlock your bootloader, you would need to hex edit your CID to 11111111 if you wanted to S-OFF.
If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask but I suggest reading the stickies in all the sections. Good Luck
Thanks for the info everyone. I'll be keeping that in mind.

I got a Telus HTC one x yesterday. Spent all day reading about rooting etc and finally went ahead and did it. The unlocking part went without a hitch. I then went to install the clockwork recovery and I think I used an outdated one, because after I did it, it wouldn't boot into recovery. I could get into the bootloader, but checking anything else it wouldn't do anything. At that time I was still able to boot up my phone as normal. I then saw an updated clockwork recovery and tried that one, and it still wouldn't respond when I clicked on recovery. Now I can't do anything except get into the bootloader. My screen says the exact same thing as the original poster in terms of

I'm so upset right now. I read your instructions on what you suggested to the OP but theirs was Rogers and mines Telus, and I never did have a custom ROM on there, and I don't have a clear cache option, just a 'clear storage'
Even selecting the 'reset phone' doesn't work. I'm ready to cry lol. I don't want to touch anything without guidance so I don't screw it up even further. I know this is the rogers forum but it's what came up when doing a google search.
Please help me. Please tell me this can be fixed. :crying:
Don't use CWM, use TWRP instead. Find version 2.3.3.1 at goo.im (just Google TWRP 2.3.3.1 evita download). Check the md5 of the download is correct. I'm assuming you have fastboot on your pc.
Put the TWRP recovery.img in your fastboot folder
Boot phone into bootloader, wait for it to say "fastboot usb" on the screen of your phone
Open a command prompt in that folder on your pc
Type in the following command:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-TWRP-2.3.3.1-evita.img (whatever the name of the recovery image is, I think that's right)
It will now write the recovery to your phone, wait for it to finish, it should only take a few seconds
Now type the following command in:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now you should be able to disconnect your phone and flash superuser.zip in your new recovery and have root access.

omg!!!!! TY TY TY TY TY!!!!!!!!
It flashed into recovery!!!!!
I can't find where my superuser went...is there a way I can get it onto my phone? At this point I'm so nervous about screwing anything up that I'm afraid to play (which is rare for me as I'm normally quite good at all this stuff)
Do I really need the superuser? I'm planning on putting the ViperXL 3.2.7 rom on my phone. Can I just go straight to installing the rom?
I know where I went wrong now though. I used the international root instructions and not the AT&T ones as I assumed since I was Telus instead of Rogers or AT&T that that was the one I needed. Ugh! I feel like such an idiot!! I had android for quite a while then went to iphone for a little while (mistake) and had gotten so good at doing everything with those and forgot most of the steps involved with rooting android and the terminology. I'm happy to be back home with android!
You can just go ahead and flash ViperXL, that is pre-rooted so you'll be good to go. I just assumed you had a ROM running, so flashing the superuser zip would have just given that ROM root access.
Now, just make sure you stay here in the One XL (AT&T) forum. Make sure you only flash ROMs from here, because flashing one of the International ROMs can brick your phone, and we don't want that.

I will be staying here!! lol
Just to be sure I have this correct...
I downloaded Viper and the boot img.
I'm going to go back to my cmd prompts, install the boot img
I'm getting hung up with understanding how to place the zip on my phone storage...My computer isn't showing it as being a separate drive.
I keep getting 'failed' errors with everything in TWRP. If I try to mount as USB storage, my computer says it needs to be formatted...
When I try to do anything else it shows up with failed.
Ok here's what you'll need to do:
Boot your phone into the bootloader (hold power and volume down key together, release power after a second but keep holding volume down until you're in bootloader)
Select recovery
Once recovery boots up, connect to pc with usb cable, select mount in recovery menu, then select mount storage
Your phone should now show up on your pc as a drive, copy the entire ROM zip to your phone
Once it's copied, do eject and safely remove the drive from your pc, and hit unmount on your phone screen
Hit the home button (little house on bottom left) in recovery
From main recovery select wipe, once in wipe menu you must wipe cache, dalvik cache, factory reset, and system
Once you've wiped all those, hit the home button again
Select install from the main recovery menu, then find the ROM you previously copied to your sd card and select it, then swipe to install, let the install finish (please note: if you're installing viper, it will have a few options to select during the install, select the ones you want. But right at the end of the install process there will be a checkbox for "reboot device now" and it will be checked, make sure you uncheck that before you hit finish/done)
Now you'll see two options, wipe cache/dalvik is one, do that, once that's done hit the home button again
From the main menu, hit reboot, and then bootloader, your phone will now boot back into the bootloader and fastboot usb should show up in red text on your screen if your usb cable is still connected
Now back to the pc, Copy the boot.img from the ROM zip and place it in your fastboot folder
Make sure you're connected with usb and fastboot usb is showing on your phone screen
Open a command prompt in your fastboot folder on pc and type in:
fastboot devices
You should see a device number return in the command prompt, if that shows up you're connected properly, so now type in the following command:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
This will flash the boot.img to your phone, let it finish
Once that's done you can reboot and you should be able to reboot into your new ROM

So my son rooted his AT&T HTC One X (Evita) and put AOKP 10.something (doesn't remember) but never got 4G data to work. He lived with it that way for a while because WiFi works and he has plenty of access at college. But recently he got fed up and wanted to go back to his stock rom to get 4G working again. He doesn't remember exactly what he did but he recalls going into recovery, wiping the cache, then updating TWRP to 2.5. That's when things went wrong. We get:

This build is for development purposes only...
It sits this way for a few minutes then the screen goes blank, but it appears the phone is still on because, when plugged-in to the USB port on my PC I don't get the alert sound that USB has disconnected. Then it reboots. Does this over and over.
I can get into the bootloader by holding-down power and volume-down.

I can also get into TWRP, but can't find any ROMS to install.
I've rooted a few of my androids and can follow instructions, but I'm not real familiar with all the tools and acronyms. Also, I have zero experience with the HTC One X. If there's a newb's guide for unbricking the Evita please point me in the right direction. Otherwise, please be gentle with me and I'll try not to make an ass of myself. ;^)
So far I've downloaded HTC Sync and Minimal ADB/Fastboot. The phone is plugged-in and charging. So I plan to pick up on this tomorrow night. If I understand things:
Install the drivers
Connect the phone
Pray that it is still in USB Debugging mode
Verify ADB detects the phone
Use ADB to push my choice of ROMs to the root of the sdcard internal storage device
Go into TWRP
Wipe the entire phone including system
Install the ROM
Wave dead chicken over head while singing the theme song from Evita
Reboot when done
Is that right?
Or should I use flashboot (never have before)?
Does "*** UNLOCKED ***" on the bootloader screen mean the bootloader is unlocked (as opposed to carrier unlock)?
Should I update TWRP to 2.6 first? If so, can I just push with ADB and Install with TWRP 2.5??
Do I need to S-OFF to flash TWRP or ROM? If so, how?
What the heck is an RUU file and do I need one?
And finally for tonight, while I know there's no such thing as the "best" ROM, which ROMs should I look at if my priorities are stability, functionality and battery life (most to least important)? I tend to put a ROM on my phone and not change for months, even years.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Adb won't work because that requires the ROM to be booted into an os. You don't need it yet anyhow. You will need fastboot though. You'll want to get rid of TWRP 2.5 because it's full of bugs. Here's how to install TWRP 2.6:
Download TWRP 2.6 from here. Put the file in your fastboot folder. Connect phone in fastboot mode, open command prompt from within fastboot folder, issue the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "filename.img"
(the exact filename, minus the talking marks)
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now you can enter recovery on your phone. Select mount from the menu, then mount usb storage while connected to a pc, it will now show up as a removable drive so you can copy a ROM to the device. For stability, stock ROMs are the best option, you'll find those here.
One you've downloaded a ROM, you need to extract the boot.img from the root of the zip and place it in your fastboot folder on your pc, we'll come back to that later. Now copy your entire ROM zip onto the phone. Enter recovery, do a full wipe (cache/dalvik cache/factory reset/system), go to install menu, install ROM.
Now, reboot to bootloader, connect to pc, make sure it shows fastboot usb on the screen. You now need to flash the boot.img because the phone is s-on. Do that by entering this command:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Now you should be able to reboot the phone into the ROM.

Thanks both Ken and Timaaa. You guys rock.
I'm leaning towards giving utkaar099's Stock/Deodexed JB 4.1.1 ROM and the HTC ATT 3.18 radio a try. I haven't figured S-OFF yet but once I get the ROM on and working I'm sure I'll figure it out.
I wanted to say thanks again for the help. The phone is now running again with the stock/deodexed JB 4.1.1.
I haven't tried flashing a radio file yet. I'm unclear if I have to S-OFF before flashing the radio. Still reading, but if you have a chance to answer this question I'd appreciate it.
S-off isn't required for flashing radios, you can just flash them in recovery. Just make sure you don't flash radio+RIL, or the cm radios, and you'll be fine.

In the link you provided, on the first page, there were two seperate downloads, depending on when the phone was developed. "Download (restores to official Froyo 2.2.2) (315MB)" and also "Download (restores to official Gingerbread 2.3.3) (309MB)". Was just wondering which one you tried if any at all.

4.Reboot to HBOOT: Shutdown completely (disconnect USB if connected and pull battery if necessary) then while holding down the VOL-DOWN key, press the POWER key for about half a second. The phone should boot into HBOOT, check the PD98IMG.zip for consistency, then prompt you to install. Select VOL-UP to install.
5.Once installed, HBOOT will prompt you to reboot by pressing the POWER button. Do this
I can get to step 4 and instead of flashing the PD98IMG.zip is says parsing and just goes back to hboot. I can't flash anything.
I have been making some MAJOR progress on my phone.. after messing around with a lot of fastboot commands, I found this with helped .. fastboot -c "lge.kcal=0|0|0|x" boot customrecovery.img if forces some images to boot.
Also the link I posted above only will work if my phone is relocked. I can't even make post in the Inspire 4G Android Development , because i'm "too new " to ask a question. But I managed to get his program to run again and I've noticed something. on step 7
7.Once successfully completed, the phone will automatically reboot to HBOOT and begin the process of installing the RUU. The only thing you have to do at this point is acknowledge the prompt to install by pressing VOL-UP. (Note: the RUU install may skip a couple of images during the install but this is normal.
IT FAILS to copy the RUU to the sdcard. and that's what has left my phone without an OS. I've also got the stock RUU htc_inspire4g_att_RUU_3.20.502.52_US.exe to run and complete But my phone hangs after the HTC logo..

This is not at all helpful. He is asking for boot.img or S-Off help. If he can't do that his ROM is irrelevant.
OMG. this is the worst place for help ever. I have Jelly time installed and I can get into it But only AFTER forcing the boot.img to boot. I CANNOT boot into jellytime by it's self normally. BECAUSE I cannot flash the boot.img file I get an error message. Because I need S-OFF to be off. right now it's on. Everything I've tried has failed.

This is just about the worst way to start a post where you're asking for help.

Did you even read what I wrote before??

You don't need S-Off to fastboot flash boot.img. Just an unlocked bootloader.

Also, you haven't told us what error message you get when you try to flash the boot.img. And is your bootloader unlocked??

What does forcing the boot.img means? there is no other way to flash a boot.img that in fastboot if you are S-ON. There is no need to be S-OFF to fastboot flash. In fact, having S-OFF is not enough to enable flash commands in fastboot (you actually need ENG S-OFF for that).
I suggest that you give detail information about the errors and what you are doing if you want to get helped.
Hello,
I have htc inspire. My phone was new sept 2011 and worked until july 2012. My phone was set to charge only and usb debug disable and was never rooted. One night I put the phone to charge and the next day it I turned it on but it never made past the white screen. I have tried to put the rom on sd card as PD98IMG. I tried RUU. The phone lists:
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-0.85.0024 MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.10.04.03_M
eMMC-boot

When I try using RUU it gets stuck on reloading bootloader
When I try the PD98IMG method using a goldcard, it gets stuck:
parsing...[SD ZIP]
[1] BOOTLOADER -UPDATING
[2] BOOT
[3] RECOVERY
etc
Please help
Not sure but What helped me get past the HTC logo screen is just recovering the old Stock of the phone.
The link provided is to return back to old stock AT&T Roms.

Boot your phone in Bootloader mode (PWR + VOL DOWN).
Run the RUU Installer.
For S-Off, Advanced Hack Kit (AAHK) was quite a big help to me.
My problem is I have s-on. Phone freezes when I try pd98img on sd goldcard. I can connect with fastboot but I am not sure how to use it. The phone was in charge only & usb debug off when it use to work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
I tried to flash cm12.1 using flashyfy (a complete foolishness). And now i don't have any os. I am bootloader unlocked, rooted and S-on. Whenever i tried to turn on my device first it shows common HTC booting screen, then some sentences comes under HTC logo (this built is for development purpose only.........). Then phone turn off and this keep looping. Since I can't boot into system so i am not able to s-off my device. i tried to flash custom using fastboot, but it doesn't work. I unzipped cm12.1 and did fastboot flash boot boot.img, does this even work because original zipped file was like 200 Mb, but boot.img was like only 5 Mb. Can i get custom ROM in img format?
What am i suppose to do with my phone???
[Anyway I repaired my phone. I flashed viperxl 3.2.6. First I flashed boot.img via fastboot then went immediately to recovery without reboot and flashed the zip. Then i followed this link ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155071 ) and got S-OFF.]
