Having bootloop issues after flashing a boot.img? - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Say, do you have an AT&T HTC ONE X that was on the 3.18 Jelly bean update that you rooted and unlocked the bootloader? Say you made a backup before you did anything. Did you try to flash a rom and found out that with s-on you had to manually flash the boot.img? Notice how your back-up doesn't work and you are stuck in a bootloop. OOOH SPOOKY!! here is how you get around that.
This is assuming the backup was made while you were still on the original 3.18 update and you have a windows pc.
1. Download the boot.img. Its a boot.img from a stock att 3.18 rom.
2. go to where you have your sdk folder and put the boot.img in the "platform-tools" folder.
3.Get into the bootloader menu (turn off phone and then hold power+down)
4.Press volume down one time to highlight fastboot then press the power button to choose it.
5.Connect phone to computer and wait until red text (FASTBOOT) turns into(FASTBOOT USB).
6. Now open up cmd or command prompt
7.change the directory so that your are in the platform tools folder ( cd " " so on and so forth)
8. once in the platform tools folder and your phone still connected type in : fastboot flash boot boot.img
9.let it do its thing
10. Once done, disconnect, and try to boot again.
You should be past the bootloop and into your backup again!

Eh... What if they flashed AOSP? or 3.4 kernel AOSP? -_-

AOSP as in a stock rom? Hmmm... I don't think it would matter as long as you flash the boot.img and then flash the backup. I think it would still work.

[Q] Phone in Bootloop, Can't get into Recovery - How to Unbrick?

Hey All,
Long time reader, first time Soft Bricker. I was flashing the Z Kernel 2.0 over Viper, and am now in a bootloop that doesn't let me get into my Recovery (TWRP). I can get into bootloader, though, and run fastboot. I've read the instructions on how to fix this error by flashing the RUU, but I can't find a link to an RUU where there isn't a $12 fee.
Is there another way to do it? I backed up my stock One S from after I rooted.
Help?
Thanks!

Open the zip file for viper rom and extract the boot.img file and move it to the folder on your computer where adb.exe is. Then get into the phone into fastboot connect it to your computer and run this command. "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
That should get you back into viper.

Thanks, going to take approximately 24 minutes while I wait for the Zip to download then I'll post results. Is Viper different in some way? I've flashed probably 50 roms (including an earlier version of Viper) and haven't run into boot.img issues as long as I've flashed a kernel with it. On H-Boot 1.08.

You can just pull boot.img from your original download of Viper Rom if it's still on your computer. The reason i suggested that you flash the boot.img is because you said you only have access to fastboot and your problems started with you flashed a new kernel. Since the boot.img from the rom will contain the original viper kernel it should reverse your problem.

I didn't download the rom on my computer the first time around, just had it on my phone's "SD Card". So with our snail mail up here have about 10 minutes left on my computer download. Hoping this works!
You da man! Thanks a ton! Hopefully I'll be able to return this favor to someone else in the future.

Blackout Beast Viper Xl

Hey guys!! I was thinking about flashing the Blackout Beast Mode 3 to my phone thats runnig viper xl. I just wanted to make sure there're compatible and I also want to know if I have any problems how I would go about getting the stock kernel back. Thanks for your answers as always.

I found it just before you posted, but thanks anyway. I think i'm going to give up on flashing the kernel though. I thought it could be done through recovery but with 2.20 you must flash through fastboot. I don't even know the commands for flashing or all the steps involved-i'm new at this stuff. Don't want to brick my five hundred dollar phone thats only a month old and don't even have a warranty.

You can't brick your phone by flashing a kernel.
If you really want to flash the kernel, do this:
1. Install the SDK (fastboot and adb) and drivers as per the root threads that currently exist
2. Flash BeastMode Kernel
3. While still in Recovery, open a Command Prompt (in Administrator mode) on your laptop
4. Switch to the folder where "adb.exe" and "fastboot.exe" are located
5. type "adb pull /tmp/boot.img"
6. If it fails, the drivers aren't installed properly or you're not in the right folder
7. Reboot your phone to Bootloader by typing "adb reboot bootloader"
8. Run "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
9. Reboot your phone
Make sure you also flash the cam fix.
Phone bootloops.
Will not work on my phone. Successfully pulled the boot.img after flashing in recovery. Then I flashed the boot.img that I pulled in fastboot. Then I reboot the phone and wind up in a bootloop. I then have to reflash the boot.img from viper to get the phone to start.

Wound up with a boot loop flashing the boot.img on page 166. I'm running Mac to do the fastboot commands and for some reason I cannot pull the boot.img after flashing the kernel.

I edited my post after you posted that. I have sucessfully pulled the boot.img after installing beastmode. It is in the same directory as fastboot and it sucessfully flashes. It just bootloops after that.
Anyone have any ideas what the problem might be?

Let's try this again
1.) Wipe System
2.) Factory Reset
3.) Flash boot.img from ViperXL (from fastboot)
4.) Flash ViperXL (from recovery)
5.) Boot your phone
6.) reboot into fastboot
7.) flash kernel boot.img on page 166 (from fastboot)
8.) flash kernel zip (from recovery)
After flashing the kernel, your camera will NOT work. You will need to flash the camera fix. I don't know if you have to flash that from fastboot or recovery on 1.14.

[Q] Is flashing a kernel as easy as going to recovery and installing it?

Hi i'm new to the att htc one x, just rooted, and installed twrp... then flash cleanrom5. I also noticed clean has a kernel, i did not see an install guide, but i've installed kernels before on my captivate. So what i'm wondering if it's as easy as....
1. place kernel on phone storage
2. reboot into recovery
3. install kernel from recovery
4. reboot
If there anything i am missing or if i am completely off could someone please help me out with this?
Thank you :good:
If you are on the 1.14 hboot (rooted on 2.20 firmware) you can't flash kernels from recovery. You have to do it using fastboot.

Not the firmware you are on now. The firmware you originally achieved root on. More importantly, what version is your hboot (go to hboot, and the version number is listed)?
If your phone was purchased with 2.20 firmware, and you rooted using the new X-factor exploit method, you have the 1.14 hboot.
Hboot 1.14 plugged the hole by which flashing kernels from recovery was possible. So it can only be done by fastboot.

Well, If cleanROM is using the same Kernel as stock, then you got lucky. If they use the same kernel, no need to flash boot.img.
If they are different kernels and you dont flash boot.img, you are now in a bootloop
lol Universal City
not bad
Sorry for so many questions lol, just making sure i do this right.
okay so basically i want to download the kernel and the fastboot drivers posted in your post.
Extract the fastboot drivers, and then unzip the kernel, taking the boot.img from it and placing it into the fastboot directory that i just unzipped.
I then want to boot my phone into hboot and select fastboot
open the command prompt and take it to where the fastboot.exe is.
then type fastboot flash boot boot.img into the command prompt
After all this is done i want to go into recovery and flash the zip of the kernel?
Is that all right?

Because the new hboot makes it to where you cant flash kernels through recovery. only fasboot
So why the second flash if the boot.img was flashed via fastboot?

So although ROM zip file contains boot.img when flashing boot.img won't be flashed? That's why we need to flash is separately? Is it important to flash it before flashing ROM?
Thank you.R
I'm also, learning as I go. From reading and multiple failed attempts at flashing ROMs and kernels, I have found the correct way with 1.14 Hboot.
-dl the rom/kernel
-extract only the boot.img file
- save both .zip and boot to your desired folder.
-go into recovery and mount sd card to pc
-transfer .zip file to your phones sd card
-get back into fastboot on your phone
-transfer boot.img to fastboot folder
-from fastboot cmd prompt(if you have win7, open your folder with fastboot in it hold shift+right click and open cmd)
-type "fastboot boot boot.img" without quotes
-go back into recovery and clean cache/delvik
-then install .zip that you copied to the sd card
You should be good to go from there.
If I have left anything out, please feel free to correct.

I know you can use that firmware to install KitKat ROMs as shown here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49028315).
Use the 10.6.1.27.5 firmware with this:
Tylorw1 said:
1. Download the latest version of Android for your tablet. Make sure you download the correct SKU version.
A. To find the SKU, go into settings, About tablet, and look for your Build Number, There are two letters (such as US,WW, TW, etc.) that is your SKU. When downloading the zip from ASUS', you must download the correct SKU zip.
2. Decompress downloaded .zip file (it will be another .zip)
3. Rename it to:
A. For the TF700 and TF300: EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip
4. Make sure your MicroSD card is formatted Fat32. It must be Fat32 Format or it will not work.
5. Copy the file to (the root directory of) your MicroSD
6. Insert the MicroSD into the tablet
7. Shutdown (power off) the tablet
8. Power it on by pressing and holding VOLUME DOWN and POWER buttons simultaneously
9. When you see white text in the top left corner of the screen, release the buttons ^^ and press VOLUME UP button (on RCK, this is your recovery which should already be selected) until you see Android logo and process bar
10. Give the update process 5-10 minutes. It should not take longer than that. If it happens to run for more than 45 minutes to an hour, force shut down the tablet and see if it boots. If it does not, try rerunning steps 7-9.

Remove the "recovery", that means you are flashing to the recovery partition. So

Flashing the stock wipes the recovery, so you will need to flash the correct version of TWRP this time . I dont think you need TWRP for motochopper. Since you are unlocked, you can just flash the SU binaries directly from TWRP.

Makes sense.. openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-tf300t-JB.blob the right version?
You lost me on your last part.. where do i find the SU binaries?

Wait! Flashing that will brick it again!!! Dont flash that, use the -42 TWRP since you are on Android 4.2 now.

TWRP should have the SU binaries built into it. If TWRP doesn't detect root when it is run from the bootloader, it asks you if you want to flash them. Are you trying to flash a KitKat ROM or a Jelly Bean ROM. KitKat needs TWRP -2.6.3.1

Bootlooping if flashing cm 10.1 and newer

Hi there! i bought an htc one s and managed to flash cm 10.0.0. to it. my problem is that when i flash a newer cm version it bootloops everytime. i have installed twrp 2.6.3.0. .
baseband version:1.08ts.50.02.16
kernel version:3.0.51
s-off, rooted, hboot 2.15, CID 11111111
radio 0.16.31501s
Please any help would be appreciated.
Are you sure that you flashed the right version? Cyanogenmod official is only for ville (S4) version. Are you sure that you didnt flash ville version on villec2 or opposite?

no i didnt update the kernel. is it important to update the kernel? and if so how can i do this? i did the wipes
Of course you must update the kernel. Extract boot.img from the ZIP and put it in your folder with adb.exe fastboot.exe etc. (On the computer) then restart the phone into fastboot mode (volume down + power and choose fastboot), shift right click in the folder on PC and choose open command prompt here. Now type here "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and wait till the operation is done. Then reboot and enjoy

you mean to extract the zip file of the rom i flashed and flash the boot.img of that rom via fastboot?i thought that its not necessary if you have flashed twrp 2.6.3.0. recovery
Yes! Its necessary if you're S-ON

If you're S-ON:
On windows 7, 8 click on ROM.zip. You will see "boot.img". Drag it with mouse on ather folder.
After you wipe everything, except SD CARD, instal rom.
After instal, reboot bootloader. Plug the cable. On phone screen you will have "Fastboot USB"
Open comand promt: ""fastboot flash boot boot.img".
On S-ON phone never work without this.

Sorry, blind in the last times :laugh:
However you could still try to do that... Or maybe the download is corrupted, did you check the MD5 checksum? That could be also the problem.

ok no prob. I tried that with no luck . im tring to flash a rom that i have already flashed to another htc one s so i dont think that this rom is corrupted. i can flash the rom through recovery and gapps and when the phone reboots nothing happen but keep looping... the only rom i can flash is cm 10. do i have to update radio or kernel or something other to my phone??
Sorry for my previous answer.
Flash a new recovery image. Latest is 2.7.0.8.

I finally gave the phone to a friend with cm 10.0 without trying something else. Thanks all for replies!!!
