I downloaded the updated viperROM Redline v2.5 RC1 ROM but unable to flash it.
I'm on Hboot 1.5 and hence trying to flash it first via Flash image GUI but I get an error message stating that the downloaded zip does not contain any .img file.
Please help.
P.S.: Sorry for posting this here and not on the developer forum but I haven't reached the 10 post threshold... anyway, i'm still kinda fresh on all this rooting process.
Dl it again, I actually dl'ed it this morning got all excited and for some reason it was only 100mb and is supposed to be 388mb I believe.
Or try this method

If your having problems with DL'ing it, try using a different browser like FireFox on the Market. If you still have problems, just use your computer to download it, then transfer it to your sdcard. Or better yet, download it to your computer, when It's done downloading, move the ROM.zip to where your fastboot directory is located, in the same folder, then use fastboot to flash the ROM. This way, you won't have any problems.

Put the zip on your computer and unzip it and find the boot.IMG. flash the boot.IMG through fastboot. Then flash the Rom. With s-on it won't flash the boot.IMG through recovery. You have to force it through fastboot

Wow, thanks a lot. Spent hours this morning trying to figure out why it wasn't booting.

OK so here's my problem. In a nutshell, I was using my dude Chingys ineff. Made a backup n flashed the clean ics with its own flashable boot.img after the flash. I made a restore and tried to go back to ineff. Well clearly that's a problem without the right boot image. I flashed one I had with my fingers crossed and that wasn't the correct one. Now I can't even do a fresh install of clean ics because its boot image won't work now. Chingy is away from his PC and can't dropbox it to me. Can anyone help me with this so I can flash it without my PC (I'm at work) and restore my ineff backup? Please n thanks community! =)

boot.img is in the ROM file. Just use a zip program to open the file and it will be right there. You'll need to use ADB to push the file to your phone, can't flash a img file. Or use Scott's CleanFlash program.

Sorry, didn't see you wanted something without a computer.
Have you tried reinstalling CleanICS. It's set up to create the flashable zip file for you.
Edit: Here is a post on how to create the flashable zip file.

I don't use ineff so I don't have the boot.img file for you.
afaik all you need to do is copy the boot.img and androidinfo.txt from the rom and zip it as PH89img.zip on the root of your sd card and flash through hboot
I'm having the same issue. I was on BAMF ROM and tried to install Clean ICS. The install went fine but the fastboot failed. Said the IMG was older.. tried other roms and the only way I could get my phone to boot up was to do a clean install of the BAMF ROM.
Not trying to hijack the thread just don't get why any of the ROMs I tried all fail the fastboot IMG except for the BAMF ROMS.

From my understanding BAMF ROM must be using a newer revision number and that is why you fail. Are you flashing from HBOOT or computer using fastboot? I thought you could push an earlier file through the computer.
Guys,
I followed this guide to unlock my phone and gain superuser access step by step:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239821
I then installed Rom Manager, and restarted in Recovery.
I placed this zip: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421065 onto my SD Card, and did not rename it. Once in recovery I installed that ROM. It installed with no errors however now the phone gets stuck at the htc logo screen.
Any thoughts?
What was contained that .zip file you flashed, and did you make a backup of your system before you flashed?
Sent from my Droid Razr Maxx
Did you wipe data cache and dalvik? If not wipe again. If it bootloops again try pushing the kernel with fastboot.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
The .zip contains the following files:
data
devices
kernel
META-INF
sdcard
system
CHANGELOG

mike, can you tell me how to push the update with fastboot, I'm kind of new to all of this telephone wizardry
I can get into FASTBOOT/HBOOT/RECOVERY, however nothing I do seems to help me get past the HTC Logo. Any thoughts? Maybe I'm not waiting long enough? Can someone please tell me exactly what I need to do (if I can even do something). I might just be approaching this whole process the wrong way.
Do I install a ROM from ZIP from Recovery? Do I need to fastboot an .img file first?
Sounds like your hboot 1.5 and your phone is hanging due to you need to place a copy of your recovery in your adb folder...
The while in Hboot
Using adb with phone plugged in and debug turned on
fastboot boot recovery.img
Then wipe and flash the rom you were trying to flash...
You can't just flash a rom with recovery since your s-on
Two methods
One is fastboot boot recovery.img which is easy
Other is boot.img pain in the ass
I tried booting directly into recovery like you just said. I am using TWRP recovery.img file.
Can this be caused by the type of ROM that I am trying to install?
Everything works fine, the .zip gets applied and seems to install correctly, but it still hangs at the htc logo.
I also forgot to mention that originally I used Clockwork Recovery Mod, which i got from the market, and selected the option to boot into recovery. I don't know if that makes any difference.
You should Google shooter ruu. Get back to stock. Retry this with another shot at reading the instructions.
You must plug your phone into pc while in fastboot and give it a command to boot recovery recovery.img .
Then reflash a rom.
Read more I'm hboot 1.4 and I can still flash a 1.5 hboot correctly cause I've read how to.

If u haven't figured it out yet, see if this helps:
[Guide] My Hboot 1.50 HTC Unlock/recovery/rom/kernel flashing notes http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1495358
If u have updated your phone to the newest radio in the 2.17.651.5 update you may have problems if the Rom is based on an earlier kernel/radio like I think Warm is, but I could be wrong.
You may have flashed the Rom incorrectly & not had the kernel get flashed causing the boot loop.

my free application, Flash Image GUI, will automatically extract the boot.img file and flash it. Then the next step is to reboot into the custom recovery and install the exact same rom.zip file.
essentially with htc's unlock method, the kernel portion of a ROM .zip can't be loaded from the standard recovery boot mode. my application, Flash Image GUI, loads the kernel portion of the ROM .zip from Android mode, easily allowing you to reboot into the custom recovery and apply the system portion of the ROM .zip.
if you're interesting in the more manual/command line route, which requires access to a desktop, the command you'll need is fastboot flash boot boot.img. in addition, the ROM .zip file should be the same as any other .zip file. if it doesn't open properly, might be a corrupt download. the boot.img is generally located in the root of the rom.zip file, or sometimes in a sub folder called kernel or boot. Flash Image GUI is very good at searching/locating the boot.img file in valid ROM .zip files.
hope the suggestions and some of those technical details help!

Try downloading the ROM again and use a program like 7zip to unzip the ROM. I'm pretty sure you can go into the ROM with esfile explorer from your phone. Then use flash image GUI and select the boot.IMG exactly.

Sounds like a bad download of the ROM .zip file. Downloading a 2nd time should resolve the issue. Many times you can check the md5sum of the downloaded file to ensure the download is correct.
If you still get the error from my app, after downloading the file again and ensure the md5sums match, link me to the exact file? I'd like to take a look.
Hope that helps!

thanks bro after downloading it a couple times it still wasnt working for me but after the 8/29/2012 update i downloaded it unzipped like a charm. =0 thanks for the amazing support!
So i was able to get the cm10 boot.img and flash it through the flash Gui app. once i did that flashed the cm10 rom in recovery. i triedd to boot into it and i keep getting sent back to the bootloader. I wiped cache davlik factory reset and wiped the system. was i not supposed to wipe the system? now i cant even restore to a sense rom is it because i flashed the cm10 boot.img? i am assuming i need to FASTBOOT a sense boot.img since i cant get into a sense rom.
So finally after flash gui not working for me i Fastbooted the Boot.img through adb and was able to flash cm10 zip again and it BOOTED! i tried this method after downloading the 8/31/2012 cm10 zip. I think i wiped system last time which messed up the whole thing!

Wiping the system and then trying to boot will definitely cause issues. Glad everything worked out!
For future reference, if you do experience any issues you think are related to how Flash Image GUI functions, feel free to post up in that thread. I do my best to respond as soon as possible!
so hey guys. just got an evo, and did the regaw root method where it unlocks the loader using HTcunlocker. and it also installed the twrp. i downloaded the cm10 zip and threw it on a sd card.
I put the sd card in, and went and booted into recovery mode... all good. locate zip on the external sd card, and when i try and install it, it fails first step... any suggestions what to do.
I read around and noticed you need s off to do anything that has its own kernel.
seems my hmode is like 1.5 or something so i cant do the s-off. I need to downgrade it. No problem.
bad thing is in the recovery i went to do a wipe facory reset, and now when i try and boot to system it says NO OS found! haha i power it down and back on, and it says no os found!
I cant use an RUU or downgrade tool because i cant boot up and into debugging,
i know you clever people can help me out a bit, right?! i miss my epic 4g slider
EDIT STILL NEED HELP please and thank you in advance

Pay attention to the S-On part of that article. You have to flash the kernel separately with S-On. Also there is now a method of downgrading in order to achieve S-Off. It can be found in the original development subsection.
it seems like i downloaded a RUU with 1.3, but the problem is, it says it cant connect to the phone. i didnt install any drivers or anything. so point blank, since this was a newer phone, I need to download a livecd of linux in order to get this thing to boot to anything other then the white htc screen or twrp?
You need to get into twrp by holding power and volume down . Once there wipe everything except storage. Then mount USB and copy/paste a Rom from your pc to your phone. Pull the boot IMG first and place where your adb/fastboot files are.
Flash the Rom, when its done boot into bootloader from recovery and then fasyboot flash the boot IMG
There are detailed instructions on how to do these steps all over XDA
Hope you get it up and running
I don't know if you need those drivers you talked about. If you wanted to be sure about having the correct drivers you could install HTC sync on your pc.

ok so go into twrp. then from my rom zip file, youre saying to pull out the boot.img and place in the fastboot folder (not sure)
then flash the whole zip file of the rom (with or without the boot.img that i copied) and then you say boot into bootloader and than fastboot flash the boot.img? im kinda lost right there
So As i just woke up and ready to try again with this bastard phone, can you link me to something stating how to actually flash a rom using s-on htcunlock? or just how and where you put the boot img and where the fastboot folder is etc.
Best thing to do probably is read om4's guide in the Q&A section. Its stickyed or maybe download flash image gui. The app explains the process. Its any easy solution for s-on folks.
Sorry i cant explain in detail how to fastboot flash the boot img but all the info easily found on xda.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
So when i try to send the image using fastboot, i do fastboot devices, and then i try and send. it says sending, but will stay there infinitely. I cant find a thread that talks about it locking up during the file transfer
Maybe I'm missing something here but couldn't he put a rom like meanROM ,that has the s-on kernel installer built in, onto his sd card (assuming he has one) and install it from TWRP just so he has a working phone? Then he could properly research how to get CM10 installed and running.
Hi all
I am in big trouble. Please help me out.
I have HTC One X+ since last 1.5 years. It came with everything locked.
In order to install CyanogenMod i tried to root my HTC OneX+ and successfully did. The phone went back to factory settings.
After this, the real problem started. I downloaded a recovery.img and boot.img from somewhere over the net (I was careful but not sure if i downloaded the right one) and flashed it into my device. Afterwards, boom!!!!. My phone went into recovery loop and everything has been wiped out.
I am still able to fastboot it through my pc but nothing else.
Can anybody suggest what to do??
This is the right twrp recovery for the hox+:
http://dl.twrp.me/enrc2b/twrp-2.8.6.0-enrc2b.img
Download the rom you want to install and extract the boot.img from the zip.
In fastboot flash new recovery.Reboot into recovery and adb push rom's zip into your sd card.
Reboot in fastboot and flash boot.img.Reboot into recovery and flash rom.
Will try this and let you know. Thanks for the advise
If it doesn't work try to flash a working kernel first and then twrp recovery.

Because doing that will change the outcome.................Right?
It will make zero difference. The issue is the user.
As directed, i downloaded the twrp file and flashed it. Now the phone is getting into Recovery mode. Thanks!!
However, after that, i copied many compatible ROMs (Venom, Evagelincia, etc...), extracted their boot.img on my computer and flashed them one by one on my phone. Every time, the the process gets stuck. Each time i waited for 15-20 min for the boot to be flashed but nothing.
Did i miss something in between or i am not using the right boot.img?

cmd needs to have ADMINISTRATOR access for fastboot on windows or you need to use SUDO on linux
OF course i used CMD as ADMINISTRATOR
