Is it possible to roll back the .23 baseband to the .17 one using TWRP? I see many posts on how to do it with an img file and fastboot, but I have a zip file. When searching for a TWRP specific way there seems to be little as far as instructions, just "flash zip with TWRP"
Thanks
Theres a thread with flashable zips that you can use to rollback

Tried that, however LGD820_KRT16M_RADIO.zip id the only one listed that has the original 4.4 radio. There is not one with a img file that I can use with fastboot.
Why use fastboot? Just flash in recovery, or extract the IMG file from the zip

That was my original question, how to flash in recovery? In fastboot I tell it to flash to the radio img to the radio partition(?).
fastboot flash radio radio.img
When I tap "install" in TWRP and select the radio.zip file, it doesn't ask where to flash it to. Not knowing where TWRP is going to flash this file to is what is causing me to be cautious (better safe than sorry). Does TWRP already know where to flash the radio without me telling it to like I have to do with fastboot?
If you downloaded from that thread i posted, just flash normally in recovery and it will be fine

It is just the baseband and can only flash to baseband. Nothing else will be changed. I have all of them and have been bouncing between them checking signal.

Whats this problem with the boot.img?
So to flash a rom, I need to flash the boot.img using the boot installer tool, then I put the rom on my SD card and flash it?
Do I also have to flash the boot.img to restore my phone from a previous recovery? I heard this somewhere and was a bit confused,
Just download a ROM from the phone itself. Use flash image GUI. Using flashgui app, Navigate to ROM you downloaded, click. It'll automatically flash kernel. Immediately after boot into recovery, flash entire ROM, then flash gapps if necessary... Profit

You can only flash the zip in a custom recovery. If you don't have a custom recovery you need to install it with Odin. You'll need a .tar.md5 recovery file to flash in Odin.

The instruction says to use this version of recovery-skyrocket-6037.zip the only problem is that it is in .zip format, does this recovery has a version of .tar.md5? Or an alternative recovery file that I can install using Odin to install the kikat custom rom? Thanks for the reply and help.

Use this in odin ] This will install twrp custom recovery. Once installed then flash (install) your recovery zip in it.
The recovery.tar.zip needs to be extracted with 7-zip.
EDIT, I edit this post to remove the the dev host link. DO NOT use the dev host file. Use the.tar.zip

Hello guys,
I've been looking around for CM11 for my HTC One X+.
Now I've found the original CM11 on their website for HOX+, but there is one little question I got about this.
http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=enrc2b
That's the link where I've found it by the way.
There is no boot.img download, how safe is it to just install the ROM? In my opinion it isn't.
So let me know what you guys think.

Its on the official website, and It should work. Make a backup though.
The boot.img download isn't there because the boot.img is probably inside the .zip.
So open the zip and you'll have your boot.img.

Oh okay, you will need to flash the boot.img alone then as flashing the ROM zip won't just work. So boot into bootloader, and flash the new boot.img you had extracted from the .zip
Once yo uhave flashed the .img boot into recovery mode and perform a gull wipe, including cache. Once done simply flash the zip and reboot.
First reboot takes a bit so be patient. I also recommend you getting a band backup in case.

If you're coming from a Sense ROM you can't just flash the zip without flashing the boot.img. It wouldn't even boot. And sometimes it boots but without mobile signal or WiFi signal.
So just place the zip on your sdcard, take the boot.img out of the zip on your computer.. Then boot into bootloader and connect it to the computer using USB then type
"fastboot flash boot boot.img"
Then "fastboot erase cache"
(you must have fastboot installed and configured on your computer)
Then boot into recovery and flash the zip file and gapps. Oh don't forget a wipe is mandatory if you're coming from sense ROM. But if you're coming from an AOSP ROM it's recommended but you can go without wiping. I flashed cyanogen over paranoid android without wiping data and had no issues at all. But I wiped the system partition.
And you cannot S-OFF an HTC One X+.. If it's S-ON then it stays that way. Only a few amount of people have S-OFF on their HOX+.
Oh and I don't think TWRP recovery is compatible with CM11 on HOX+.. So I recommend you flash philz recovery. Flash it by using the fastboot command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
(recovery.img should be replaced with the name of the recovery you downloaded)
It doesn't take a lot of time. I change ROMs almost every week.
Please press the thanks button if I helped!

Yep, sort of. You install cwm via fastboot but then you root via cwm by flashing a zip that has the root files in it.
The best bet is to get fastboot set up now before doing anything. I know it may seem daunting but once it'a set up, it's done and once you've used it, you'll realise you were worrying about nothing

OK thanks. Just one tiny question that I need explaining. How do I install CWM through fastboot. Do I download the zip of cwm and boot into fastboot once I'm on 4.4.3 using the button sequence power - then install?
Do I need to install cwm if I don't want root? And in cwm do I just flash on top without clearing data and cache

So a couple of things to clarify.
Ultimately, cwm is an .img file (a bit like a cd image). If you have a flashable zip of a recovery, it will contain a recovery.img.
Other flashable zips that contain .img files are kernels (boot.img) and radio (radio.img) but most other flashable zips such as ROMs and mods do not use image files.
Fastboot is a command line tool that is used to flash image files outside of flashable zips. So if you have a flashable zip of cement you want to use, you must extract the recovery.img
Fastboot works in 2 halves. Half of it is built into the bootloader of your nexus so to use fastboot you must boot into the bootloader and connect via USB.
The other half is the command line tool which is a fastboot.exe that you put on you computer and access via cmd (command prompt).
To use fastboot once it's configured, it's quite easy, you just type "fastboot flash" followed by the partition you want to flash too and the name of the file you want to flash. Usually you will only flash system.img, boot.img, radio.img or recovery.img and each flash to the same named partition.
Example
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
One thing to remember though, is you either put these images in the same folder as fastboot.exe OR you type the full location when flashing for example
fastboot flash recovery c:\users\dec115e\desktop\recovery.img
Have a look in the 2 threads mentioned in my signature as they both should cover setting up fastboot.

It depends how you do it but if you're using an OTA file or flashing the system.img and boot.img you won't lose data.
Only flashing a userdata.img which overwrites the data partition will loose your data

If you get that cannoct allocate xxx bytes, then you have to flash all the images manually. Extract the zip file which is in the same folder as flash-all.bat
Copy all the extracted images next to flash-all.bat
In cmd navigate to that folder where you have tha flash-all.bat and type the commands:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloa (press tab to autofill the filename)
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio ra (press tab to autofill the filename)
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Some people would like to upgrade to 5.1 without losing their custom recovery like twrp. I found the main 5.1 zip and the radio zip, but can't find the bootloader zip.

You don't have to lose recovery, just don't use the flash-all and don't flash the stock recovery. And even so, how hard is it to flash TWRP back on if you do lose it? It takes literally 10 seconds to do.

Yea I would rather flash via recovery because I actually know how to do it from there!!!! No idea about fastboot etc. Any luck on a flashable zip?

I guess I'll just use the nexus root and tool kit to install 5.1 and reinstall twrp. I'm surprised a proper flashable zip file isn't available yet.

Yeah, you really should learn how to use fastboot. It's nowhere near as difficult as some people seem to think it is, and if you are ever in a bind, fastboot is likely what you'll need to use to get out of it. It's Android 101 really- I think everyone who roots and mods their phone should learn fastboot before they do anything at all.
