edit: Removed CWM Recovery since it only causes problems
This isn't a thread that is going to help you unlock your bootloader. This is what to do next, once you are unlocked. Downloads mentioned in this thread are attached. I really haven't seen a consolidated place to find this info. Hopefully this fixes that. I and nobody else are responsible for any bricks that might occur. (They shouldn't, as we aren't flashing anything "critical" to the system that can't be recovered)
How to install custom recovery.
There are 2 methods that currently work to install recovery. I will only discuss one because it is the easier one for noobs. If you know how to install it via fastboot, go ahead. You probably are above this thread knowledge wise.
Recovery Installation Method: The PH98IMG.zip
This method uses a file called PH98IMG.zip to install the custom recovery. This is the simplest and doesn't require knowledge of fastboot, adb, and doesn't need a computer.
1) Download the PH98IMGICSNEWOTA.zip of the recovery. Rename it to PH98IMG.zip
2) Connect your phone to your PC (if you downloaded the PH98IMG.zip directly from your phone's browser, use a file manager to duplicate these steps)
3) Enable USB Mass Storage (as if you wanted to copy a file to the memory card).
4) Copy the PH98IMG.zip to the root (not in any folders) of the external SD card. NOT the HTC Storage. This is extremely important. It should not be in ANY folders.
5) Disconnect the phone from the computer and shut the phone down.
6) Pull your phone's battery. It should not have the USB cable in it either.
7) Put the battery back in. Press and hold the volume down button and then press the power button. You should get taken to a white screen. This is HBOOT.
8) Some green text should scroll on the screen. At the bottom, it will prompt you if you would like to install the update. Press the button associated with YES. It is most likely volume up, but I cannot remember off the top of my head for sure.
9)When it finishes, it will ask you to press power to reboot. Do this. If you have no signal after booting, it is most likely because you forgot to put the battery door back on, as the antennas are in the door.
10) Delete the PH98IMG.zip from your memory card, or else you will not be able to get into recovery.
11) Custom recovery is installed.
How to access custom recovery.
1) Power down your phone and pull the battery. It should not be connected to a computer.
2) Press and hold volume down and power to get to HBOOT.
3) Use the volume buttons to scroll to recovery, then press the power button.
4) The HTC screen will flash briefly and you will be taken to recovery. You navigate with the power button and the volume buttons.
I highly recommend running a nandroid backup after this. This can be done in either recovery via the backup and restore sections. Google this if you don't know how. I figure most of you have used custom recovery before, so I won't go into it here.
Old Rooting Method(No longer works with ICS):
How to root (Permanently).
This rooting method again doesn't explicitly require a PC and is permanent until you actively remove it.
1) Flash AmonRa Recovery.
2) Boot into AmonRa Recovery.
3) Scroll to and enter the Developer menu.
4) Scroll to install Su. DO NOT INSTALL THE ENG (Unguarded) one. Use the other one.
5) Confirm this, when it is finished, go ahead and reboot. You should be rooted.

How to install custom recovery.
There are a couple things to consider here. First, you currently have your choice of 2 recoveries: ClockworkMod (CWM) or AmonRa. These two recoveries are very similar in function. I prefer CWM, but that is just me. We will use AmonRa in the rooting section of this post but you can ignore that for now.The installation for either of these is the same and there are 2 methods that currently work for both of them. I will only discuss one because it is the easier one for noobs. If you know how to install it via fastboot, go ahead. You probably are above this thread knowledge wise.
Recovery Installation Method: The PH98IMG.zip
This method uses a file called PH98IMG.zip to install the custom recovery. This is the simplest and doesn't require knowledge of fastboot, adb, and doesn't need a computer.
1) Download the PH98IMG.zip of the recovery of your choice. I have them named with the type of recovery in front of it so you know which one to download. For example, CWMPH98IMG.zip is the PH98IMG.zip of CWM recovery. Just rename it to PH98IMG.zip
2) Connect your phone to your PC (if you downloaded the PH98IMG.zip directly from your phone's browser, use a file manager to duplicate these steps)
3) Enable USB Mass Storage (as if you wanted to copy a file to the memory card).
4) Copy the PH98IMG.zip to the root (not in any folders) of the external SD card. NOT the HTC Storage. This is extremely important. It should not be in ANY folders.

That is strange. Which recovery/Kernel?
I got to step 8, some green text started scrolling, too fast to read. at the end all i caught was "parsing PH98IMG.zip" and it ended. im still on the hboot screen, it didnt ask me to restart or anything? I have HTC STORAGE (L and Removable Disk (M. I put the PH98IMG.zip in M which I'm assuming is my SDcard. I dont know what I did wrong.
Stupid ?. I though you need to have root before you could flash a recovery?
which recovery did you attempt to install?

AmonRaPH98IMG.zip. Just removed the "AmonRa" like you said.
try the CWM zip. I think I have an idea of what the issue is. If it wants you to install the CWM zip, there is a problem with the Amonra zip file

boot.img should work too. I think the zips don't work due to a difference in the android-info.txt. If bal1985 can install CWM then that is the issue. People have been able to install ziggy's kernel via the boot image I packed with a PH zip
Looks like we were having roughly the same thought at about the same time because your post didn't exist when I started mine
At least nobody should have problems getting up and running now between both our guides.

This seems like a silly question, but I put the PG05IMG.zip on my SD card, reboot into clockwork, pick my file from the SD card and it fails to flash.
I dug around in some of the RUU threads but didn't see anything tutorials. Any tips on how to flash it?
I'm trying to flash just the radio by the way. Thanks!
Put it on the root of your sdcard, boot into the bootloader. It will load the .zip and ask if you want to update radio.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
Wrong section. And wrong method. Clockwork has nothing to do with it. You do it in bootloader
Put the file on your SD card...don't put it in any folders, and reboot into the bootloader (not cwm), it'll find the update and ask you to install it.
oops - didnt see that someone already told you how..now I'll probably get yelled at by some of the cranky people here on XDA..lol
don't ever flash with CWM, Hboot only, dunno what happens but its probably not good

nothing really happened when I first did that by mistake, I don't think CMW can use the file anyway.
If you haven't figured out how to do it already, this is how.
1. Put the .IMG file in SD card main directory and then reboot to bootloader. ( use ./adb reboot bootloader on your command terminal or some other voodoo method you can think of)
2. While in bootloader, navigate up/down using volume buttons. Select with power button. Choose Bootloader (default option I believe) and I think it should flash.
3. Wait for it to be done (The screen should tell you something like that) and then choose reboot option
4. DONE
Thanks fellas. I wish the posts I kept reading that said "hboot" would have said bootloader instead. Update is flashing right now.
Great development thread!!!!!
Hi Everyone,
I just posted this over in development but I thought maybe Q & A would be better.
Revolutionary and Soff but at the end it asked if I wanted to flash CWM (I didn't see that in the instrctions), I did and it said success. Now I renamed the twrp file to PG86IMG.zip already and it is on the root of my sd card. Is this step even necessary if it already flashed CWM successfully (supposedly)? At this point I am at the hboot screen and I stopped so as not to screw anything up. I apologize guys I am almost finished I promise to stay out of the way after I complete the last couple of steps.
I apologize for bothering you I was just scared to move at this point.

Ok so I just go straight into the recovery select toggle usb and then rename the PG86IMG.zip to PG86IMGShooter.zip, then
Flash root zip:
Download the superuser file from here or my mirror here. Put it on your phones SD card. Press power to unmount, select Apply update from zip and press power. Select Choose zip from SD card and press power. Find the superuser zip and press the power button. After the zip is applied you will be returned to the previous menu. Select Reboot System and wait for your phone to boot back up.
Is that correct?
Thank you so much aimbdd!
OK I think I can get it if I can get into recovery from the FASTBOOT USB screen. Do I want to select FASTBOOT USB or BOOTLOADER, REBOOT, REBOOT BOOTLOADER or POWER DOWN?
Thanks again everyone

That is correct. As long as your recovery is working. When I let the revolutionary program flash clockwork, it said it was successful but did not work. I would just hang at the htc screen when trying to boot to recovery. So I downloaded the PG86IMG.zip of TWRP recovery, put it on my sd card, and flashed that.
But yes, once you have the recovery all set, the method you just posted by aimbdd is correct and should work just fine.
Thank you k2buckley

Yes, I'll be on for a bit. I'm always checking in here, I must be sick or something. Anyways, yea I think quite a few people experienced clockwork not flashing correctly. Yes, you can check to see if you have recovery. Pull your battery, then put it back in. Hold your power button and volume down button simultaneously until your hboot screen pops up, then let go. Then select recovery, and see if you boot into clockwork. If it hangs at htc screen, that means that clockwork failed to flash. In that case, pull the battery, and boot up if you can. Put the PG86IMG.zip of TWRP recovery on the main directory of your sd card (not in any folders). Be sure it's named correctly. For your ease, I'll upload my copy which is already named properly. Just put it on your sd card, then boot to the bootloader. It'll ask you to update. Then press volume up to say yes. Then reboot. THen go back to your bootloader and select recovery. You should now successfully boot into TWRP. At that point, flash the su zip file you've downloaded so you'll have super user, busy box, and su. Then you'll be fully rooted and good to go.
EDIT: and no worries about the thanks. If you're not seeing the thanks button, and you're actually on the XDA website, and not the app....then most likely you need to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the screen, and look to the left side. You'll see a spot that says "XDA Classic". Change that to "XDA 2010", and you should then have the thank you button appear.
I Have CWM Recovery v4.0.1.4
I have CWM so now I need to hook it up to the laptop and toggle usb and then flash the su file?

Oh how do I make a nandroid of my stock barely rooted HTC Rom?
Do you know if you were connected to the internet when it asked if you wanted to flash CWM? or do you think it was a fix that was added in recently to Revolutionary?

Yes, since you have clockwork, just flash the su file. For sure. If you look at my last post, I edited it, and think I know why your thanks button doesn't show up. Check it out. And no worries about the thanks, seriously. Save em for the developers! I think you needed to be connected to the internet when it flashed clockwork so it downloaded. not sure though.

haha. I don't remember exactly how to create a backup on clockwork. Personally, I made my backup after I flashed the su file, that way the backup I created was fully rooted with su, super user, and busybox installed already. So I'd flash the su file, then create your backup. I only used clockwork for like the first week I had my original Evo 4G, then switched to Amon. So I think in order to create the backup, you choose 'create backup', or 'nandroid backup', or backup, or something like that. I apologize, but I'm really not sure.

You're welcome. Never a problem.
Yes, flash the su file. I would not update busy box or download any different versions or whatever. Just roll with the one that is included in the su file you're going to flash. I've had problems before from downloading busy box from the market, for whatever reason. Once you flash that file, boot up, and make sure everything is working okay. Be sure you have the super user app in your app drawer, and try some root apps to make sure that they are properly granted SU access. After you confirm everything is okay, boot back into clockwork and create your backup. You'll then be good to go.

I was helping a buddy root his Evo 3D today. We managed to get S-off, but couldn't get Clockwork mod to install. Later I realized that his PC was not recognizing his 3vo. Installed the HTC drivers, still same problem. Installed HTC Sync, still the same. Now I can't do anything to his phone.
To make matters worse, he can't surf online. The phone boots up just fine, and the boot loader is unlocked, but this is where we currently stand.
Try to flash TWRP:
[RECOVERY] [EVO3D] TeamWin Recovery Project
Just dl the .zip file, rename it to PG86IMG.zip, put it on the root of the SD card. Then boot into bootloader (either through adb or take battery out, put back in and hold power + vol down). Then once it loads into bootloader (not fastboot) it will auto detect the .zip and ask you to update. Press vol up to say yes, wait for it to finish.
Now you'll have a working recovery, you can flash other already rooted ROMs using the flash zip utility in the recovery or if you just want to root the default ROM you have to flash this zip file with the 'flash zip' under recovery.
Is there supposed to be a root folder, or do I just simply place the main directory.
We placed the .zip file, after it was renamed into the main directory of the 3vo. Booted into HBOOT, but nothing happened. We were not prompted, just sat there in the HBOOT screen.

Weird, for some reason, going directly through the link that you provided worked. So now we have twrp on the phone. The 3vo recognized it, updated, but now still no phone or internet use.
Do I use twrp as a recovery? If so how? Should there be a twrp app now? Or do I just go back through HBOOT and select recovery from there?

This might not help but try wiping the Dalvik Cache first. If that doesnt help, do a full wipe (factory reset/data wipe), install the ROM again and try that.
Theres no app that will show so go through HBOOT, select recovery (it will look like it is rebooting but it isn't - it is loading the recovery), then choose the backup/restore option.
Alternatively if the ROM you are using has 4 way reboot you can use that to boot directly into recovery.
EDIT: yes twrp is recovery.

I would like to thank everyone that helped.
Switched PCs. Installed HTC drivers on 2nd PC, worked. Then went through the same root process. All done. I only with that veterans would also inform new root users that 'Error 16' will happen once the phone is rooted. All I had to do was call the provider and all was squared away.
Got one for you now. I was able to get my buddy's phone back. Seems that he can't remember his gmail PW. He swears that the PW he is giving me is correct, but he can't get in, not even through a PC. This blows, as he cannot use the market without a valid GM account. Not even getting a new GM account solves the problem. So I did some research and it seems that the original GM account associated wtih the phone cannot associate anymore, and trying to get a new GM account will not solve the issue. So if PW is incorrect, I'm assuming that the only thing that can be done is to reset the phone back to factory. My question is, doing so will cause me to update the phone to the newest version 1.50+. In doing so, no more root.
Are there any other options?
Going into setings and doing a factor reset doesn't update your phone to the 1.50 hboot and you don't lose root. Just flash a ROM that's updated to the latest ota I'm on clean ROM it runs perfect smooth as butter and don't forget to nandroid

I need some serious help. My ex-boyfriend rooted my phone, all I know is that it is s-off, locked, and rooted. Now it is trying to update to Ice cream sandwich all the time and it freezes my phone, or makes it shut off and occasionally bricks my phone. So I constantly have to keep pulling my battery and restarting my phone. What should I do? How do I get it to stop trying to push the update and messing up my phone? Or is there a way to get the update to go through?
It depends on the goal you're looking for.
If you want ICS, flash this: http://db.tt/M09JDsfq
Re-name it PH98IMG and place it on the root of your SD card, then reboot into boot loader.
If you want to stay with GB, I think there is an OTA blocker out there, not sure where though.
ICS is better IMO.

Ok so im back and im hoping you can still help. I want ICS but im unsure about how to get it. i dont have a root folder on my sd card so i dont know what to do. My phone was rooted using rEZoundRoot-v1.5-The Driver1. Then it was s-off'd using Rezound_SOFF_All-In-One_V1.0 by Hasoon. Then amon ra recovery was flashed. Nothing was flashed using the sd card.

"Root of the sdcard" isn't referring to a folder name. The root of the sdcard means its on the sdcard, but not in any folder.

I aparently no longer have a recovery. when i boot into recovery all i get is a picture of a phone with a red " ! "..... so how do i reinstall amon ra recovery? and why do i need to download the cwm?
Go download TWRP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1613576 and follow the instructions. Make sure you remove any file also named PH98IMG.zip on your SD card as to not confuse them. From here you should be good so long as you are actually S OFF
1. Download the version for your firmware version NOT ROM VERSION
2. Flash the zip via PH98IMG.zip. If you want to flash via fastboot, use the command "fastboot flash recovery nameoffile.img" if and pull the recovery.img out of the PH98IMG.zip
Also side note, make sure you are in fact on GB and not on a leaked build of ICS before flashing by going into "about phone" under settings.

I believe Damsel has just flashed the latest leak...see an earlier post.
Damsel: if you want to stick with AmonRA recovery you can get it here. I offer it because that is what you were using before. (Ctrl-S to download, rename ph98img.zip and flash)
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B28uLCcMCyfRZDZVOWNXbE90eWc
ugh ok well now im really confused. ok so if all i did was flash a leak where do i get the real one. and shouldnt i wait to flash the recovery until i slash the correct isc? and i tried flashing the supersu that carngeX told me to but nothing happend on the boot screen. and i just tried flashing amon and nothing happend. i just put that on my memory card and boot into hboot right?

Yes you can hold off on the recovery. The one I gave you needs to be renamed ph98img.zip, placed on the sd card. Then boot into bootloader (battery pull, volume down, power) and it will pick it up and ask you to update.
***EDIT*** ooops you are s-off, so amon ra SHOULD flash if you follow the directions above.
****EDIT **** Regarding the leak...the leak IS what was pushed to owners but with global capabilities and some other fixes. You should keep it...

Make sure it is named ph98img.zip vs. ph98img.zip.zip and that it is on the ext-sd card (the one that you can remove) .
Not sure what you mean by "all it did was show the green". If it scans for ph98img files and doesn't find this one, then its been mis-named or put in the wrong place.

Puzzling Please try getting the ph98img file from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339679 , down near the bottom of post 1 and give that a try.
to be honest, I'm thinking you've got it named PH98IMG.zip.zip . Perhaps you've checked it....view it in windows in the 'details' mode where the file extensions ae shown. Or right mouse click on it and check file name in "properties"..
If you're positive its named correctly, cool, but right now I'm at a loss if this other download doesn't work for you.
FYI: I was wondering about the case sensitive issue so I tried using ph98img.zip vs. PH98IMG.zip and it works.
Here is amon ra 3.15 no need to rename it's already named correctly just put on your SD card and flash in bootloader.

Yay, good news. For pointers, I would just look/read some of the info regarding various ROMS in the Dev section. You should go into recovery and back up what you have now, though. Then, you can flash a rom and if you don't like it, just restore the backup!.... Find an app like titanium backup to backup your apps so it makes restoring things after changing roms a bit easier. I always to to the playstore online from my computer and restore apps that way, and use titanium to just restore the data.....other than that...don't let boyfriends mess with your phone!:

Post 1: How to unlock your bootloader, flash a recovery and root
Post 2: How to flash a custom ROM and kernel (boot.img)
Post 3: How to reverse everything and go back to stock
Post 4: How to ADB Sideload a ROM
Alright. This is for everyone who wants to root their phone. I've seen MULTIPLE threads of the same question "Can I root my phone and How do I do it". So I hope I never have to see it again! In this tutorial, I use use my toolkit as the way to root. Doing it manually takes forever and that is why I made my toolkit.
Requirements:
HTC One X+ (charged to at least 70%)
Windows XP,Vista,7 (8 is not officially supported since I don't have the drivers)
USB cable
Ability to read and follow step-by-step
Understanding that I am no way guaranteeing anything. If you screw up your phone, you probably didn't follow my steps and made a foolish mistake.
Let's begin.
Download my toolkit from here.
Link 1 and Link 2
Extract the FOLDER to your C: drive or to your desktop.
MAKE SURE YOUR DIRECTORY DOES NOT HAVE A PERIOD OR SPACE.
Open One X.exe
So now you have my program open. Great.
On your phone, go to Settings -> Developer Options and Enable USB Debugging.
From my toolkit, Click 1. Install HTC Drivers.
After the drivers install, restart your computer.
After your computer loads up, open my toolkit and connect your phone to the computer. Your phone should now be recognized.
Now, click 2. Register at HTCDev. Register with a VALID email address and LEAVE the web browser open.
Now, under the commands section of my toolkit, press Boot into Bootloader.
You should have a nice, white, shiny screen that says FASTBOOT USB.
Click 3. Get Token ID. Look at the pop up and it will tell you how to get the Token ID.
Highlight where it says < < < < Identifier Token Start > > > > all the way to < < < < < Identifier Token End > > > > > and right click and it will automatically copy it.
Now, click Submit Token ID. Your web browser should now open a new tab. Scroll down and in the empty box, paste your Token ID. Press submit. HTCDev now emailed you your unlock token.
Your phone should still be in the bootloader. Now, go to the email address you registered to HTCDev and DOWNLOAD your unlock_code.bin. Press 5. Unlock Bootloader. Locate your unlock_code.bin and it will flash it to your phone.
READ the warning. THIS WILL WIPE ALL YOUR DATA FROM THE PHONE.
When you agree to it, press the volume up button and press the power button to accept it. Your phone will now restart.
When your phone loads up, go through the set up wizard. Then, on your phone, go to Settings -> Developer Options and Enable USB Debugging.
Under the Extras section, press Perm Root. It will push SuperSU.zip to your phone.
Under commands, press Boot into Bootloader once again.
Now, it is time to flash a recovery. The custom recovery is for 2 different devices
TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) is a custom recovery that will allow you to flash custom ROMs, Mods, etc.
If your phone is from AT&T or Telus, then flash the one that says TWRP ATT/Telus.
If your phone is NOT from AT&T or Telus, then flash the one that says TWRP International.
After it flashes, remove the USB cable and have HBOOT selected in bootloader. Press the power button and it will reload to another screen. Press the Volume Down button until you get to Recovery. Press the power button to select it.
Go to Backup and back up your boot and system partition. Always have a back up before you flash or do anything.
After that, go to Install and locate SuperSU.zip. Click it and slide the screen on the bottom to flash it. After it flashes, reboot the phone.
In your app drawer (your menu with all the apps), open SuperSU. If it says the binary needs to be updated, then update it. If it doesn't, then you are fully rooted!
Post 2: How to flash a custom ROM and kernel (boot.img)
The fun part! Now, I will teach you how to flash a ROM and boot.img
Find a ROM you like, the first thing you should do is make sure it is COMPATIBLE with your phone. If you find a ROM that is for AT&T and you have the International model, don't be an idiot and flash it. I will not help you with that since you already agreed to my warning from the first post.
AT&T and Telus ROMs are compatible with each other.
International models won't work on an AT&T/Telus HOX+ and Vice Versa.
Also, DO NOT ASK IF YOU CAN FLASH A ROM FROM ANOTHER DEVICE!
Will it work? NO! Will it ever work? NO! Can I flash it anyways? Brick your device, I don't care. I warned you.
Let's get back on task. So you found the ROM you want to try, so go ahead and download it. KEEP THE THREAD OPEN! MAKE SURE YOU READ EVERYTHING AND REREAD IT AGAIN! READ WHAT USERS SAID ABOUT IT AND ABOUT BUGS! GO AHEAD AND READ THE WHOLE ENTIRE THREAD! GAIN KNOWLEDGE!!
Connect your USB cable to your phone. View the folders on your phone. I like to make a folder called ROMs on my phone and transfer it in there.
After you transfer it, open my toolkit and press Boot into Recovery. When you are in TWRP, MAKE A BACKUP!!!
After you make a backup AKA a Nandroid, click Wipe. Wipe Cache, Dalvik, Factory Reset and System. NOTHING ELSE! If you click anything else, IT WILL WIPE YOUR SD CARD AND YOU WILL HAVE MORE ISSUES ON YOUR HEAD!
So you wiped everything. Great. Your phone is ROMless, Yay!
Now go back and press install. Go to the folder where the ROM you downloaded, is located in. Select the ROM and slide the screen to flash it. After it flashes, press the back button. Press Reboot and Reboot into bootloader. Open the ROM you downloaded from your computer. You should see boot.img. Extract it to your computer. Open my toolkit and press Flash a Kernel. Locate the boot.img and it will flash it.
After it flashes, press reboot from the phone.
Congrats! Enjoy your fully working or borked ROM! Remember, DO NOT ASK FOR ETAs, DO NOT BUG/PM A DEV ABOUT UPDATES, and BE RESPECTFUL TO THE DEVELOPERS!
Post 3: How to reverse everything and go back to stock
Now, let's talk about getting back to stock. There are 2 ways to do this.
1. Flash the stock RUU (If available) (Recommended)
2. Restore your Nandroid (backup that I told you to make earlier)
1. I'll talk about flashing the stock RUU first.
Open up my toolkit and press "Factory RUU" from the links sections. I usually have the most updated RUUs that Football releases on my Dev-Host account. Download the correct RUU for your phone.
Now, back up all your data (pictures, contacts, etc) since this will put your phone back to complete stock.
Connect the USB cable to your phone. Press Boot into Bootloader.
It should now say FASTBOOT USB on your screen.
Press Relock bootloader. It may give you a security warning error or it may say failed. Who cares, ignore it. It's normal.
Your phone will boot up normally.
When the phone is fully loaded. Unplug and replug the USB cable back in the phone. Now,run the RUU you downloaded and follow the instructions.
Your phone will be back to stock.
2. Now, we will talk about restoring your nandroid backup.
Connect your phone to the computer. Open up the folder to view the files on your phone.
From your computer, Go to TWRP -> BACKUPS -> (Your hardware Serial Number) -> (Folder you wish to restore to) -> and copy boot.emmc.win to your computer. Rename boot..emmc.win to boot.img
Open my toolkit and press boot into recovery.
Click Wipe. Wipe Cache, Dalvik, Factory Reset and System. NOTHING ELSE! If you click anything else, IT WILL WIPE YOUR SD CARD AND YOU WILL HAVE MORE ISSUES ON YOUR HEAD!
Press back and press Restore. Choose the backup to restore to.
After it finishes, press the back button. Press Reboot and select bootloader.
Open my toolkit and press Flash a Kernel. Locate the boot.img and it will flash it.
You are now back to your stock Nandroid.
4. How to use ADB Sideload
You may have seen what ADB Sideload around the forums but have no idea what it is. Since our HOX+ does not have an SD card, it makes things harder when you have to flash a ROM.
Here's a scenario when we need to use ADB Sideload.
1. You accidentally wiped your internal SD and have no ROM on your phone
2. You wiped your ROM and forgot to transfer a custom ROM/have no backups(Nandroid) available.
3, You have none of the above and there is no available RUU for your phone. <----- This is a real bummer.
Here are the steps to load on a ROM
I placed TWRP in my toolkit for a reason. CWM does not support ADB Sideload (as far as I know) and TWRP does.
Boot into recovery manually. Turn your device off and hold the VOLUME DOWN + POWER button together until the BOOTLOADER pops up. Press the VOLUME DOWN button until you have selected RECOVERY. Press the POWER button to get into RECOVERY.
Connect the USB Cable to your phone and computer.
In TWRP, click "Advanced" and select ADB Sideload.
Download a ROM to your computer (if you haven't already done so). Rename it as one word. For example CM10.zip, QX.zip, ARHD.zip, etc.
In my toolkit, under the extras section, press ADB Sideload a ROM. Press "Yes" when it asks you if you are in recovery. Then select the ROM you want to install. It will then sideload it to your phone and flash it.
After it finishes, press the back button. Press Reboot and select bootloader.
Pull the boot.img from the zip file and extract it.
Open my toolkit and press Flash a Kernel. Locate the boot.img and it will flash it.
You now have a ROM on your phone!
and for the hell of it in case I want to add even more.

Hold down power, volume up and down. Boot into bootloader. Select recovery. Select restore. Select one of your backups.
This should take you back.

Rom choice depends on what you want to get out of your device, its not difficult to pick out a couple roms and compare what you think will work best for you.
