So whenever I try to flash CM10, I cannot get past the white HTC Screen. I have wiped the system, wiped cache, wiped dalvik cache, and then installed the CM10 zip and the Gapps zip. However, after rebooting, i just get stuck in the white HTC screen and I end up having to pull the battery and restoring my nandroid. I am using twrp. I am on S-ON, I think it has something to do with not having a PH98IMG.zip file? Is there one for CM10? Am I doing something wrong in my installation process?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Download the ROM on a computer and extract the boot.IMG to your platform tools directory (assuming you have SDK installed) then go into your command prompt and CD your way to platform tools and type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" do this after flashing the ROM. Then boot. Reboot to recovery then flash gapps (if you flash gapps and a ROM at the same the then it is very buggy)

Thanks for the quick response. So after i flash the ROM, do i reboot and then type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" or do i just leave the device in recovery and then type the command? I suppose its the latter, gonna try it right now
THANKS

i was able to successfully unlock bootloader, was able to flash a rom successfully, used that rom for a good couple days. then i decided to try a new rom InfectedROM Eternity™ | RLS_1.5 | NIGHTLYS | 3.0 & 3.5 | XE BEATS |(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1277431&highlight=stock+radio), so i went into recovery, wipe cache, dalvik, factory reset, system. then i flashed the new rom, new rom loaded but stuck in that roms boot screen.
i went back to recovery wiped everything out again, installed the 1st orig rom i installed, now it just loads to the htc boot screen, & every 30sec or so the htc boot screen would go off & come back on. i went to recovery wiped everything again, did nandroid restore, same results, any suggestions?
what im using:
unlocked bootloader
s -on
hboot 1.50
using teamwin recovery v2.0

Did you apply any tweaks or different kernels? was your kernal that you are on now compatible with the rom that you had put on? The recovery your on, r you on 2.0 or the second releaese of 2.0?
You could try to reflash your recovery and then try to nandroid back. Or try a different kernel and or different rom and go from there. Kind of hard to diagnose bc not sure of exactly what you have done completely. If all else fails, search for the ruu and re apply the original rom and re root.
From my guess, it sounds as something that was applied didn't apply right. Again, not sure on all the details.. I know its not much to go on but good luck on it.
Look at the bright side, your obviously not bricked and if you have to re apply the original and start over, its not that bad. Just a little time out of the afternoon.
only update i did was the rom
tried about 2 more diff roms, still same issue
hmm.. i also choose the "system format" in twrp, would that have done some damage?
Are you using fastboot to boot into recovery? If not, and you're hboot 1.5, then that's your problem.
And wiping system wouldn't cause any issues as long as you flash a new ROM after wiping the system, before you reboot.

ah ok i manually go into hboot with the down volume + power. did "fastboot reboot-bootloader" into bootloader, wiped out everything & reinstall rom, still same issue.
Try extracting the boot.img from the zip file containing the rom and flashing it with with fastboot binary. If you have S-ON, CWM can't flash the boot partition so you'll get bootloops with any rom that needs a custom initrd.gz. You need to manually flash the boot partition.

Yea, do adb reboot bootloader, and then do fastboot boot recovery.img.
You will need to make sure that you have a copy of your recovery.img in the folder that you are working out of when you issue the fastboot boot recovery.img command

Okay, I'm having the same problem. No matter what I do, I get stuck in a boot loop after installing a rom. Extracting the boot.img and flashing in fastboot doesn't do a thing. My nand backups don't work either (get stuck at restoring boot).
Don't have any problems installing recovery and gaining root. I'm at a loss here. I really want to get my MIUI on!

Are you booting your recovery from fastboot? Fastboot boot recovery.img. If not, boot.img won't flash. It's not necessary to flash the boot.img separately, just boot your recovery from fastboot and you'll be good.

Yup, definitely booting recovery from fastboot.

I have some problems with clockwork mod on my evo 3d (shooter) GSM phone, I got it unlocked bootloader and rooted. I flashed clockworkmod recovery 5.0.2.0, I can boot in to recovery and navigate the menu, but when I enter an undermenu (like going down to "backup/restore", and hit power to enter) I just get the clockworkmod hat and a loading arrow and it seems to be stuck. I can allways hit power to go back. I think it could be that my phone is S-ON, but I don't know. Please does anybody know what to do? I want to get a new ROM, but do not dear to flash a new ROM until the clockworkmod recovery works. But, every things seems working in ROMmanager, so I could get a backup from there?! what is the problem?! Have tried reflashing clockworkmod...
In clockworkmod recovery 5.0.2.0 , the power button is the "back" button and the camera button is the "select" button.
thanks!
Thanks to make me feel like an idiot naah, kidding! BUT THANKS ALOT! MADE MY DAY!
Orrrr you could install touch recovery and skip the buttons altogether! About freaking time

You need to wipe system, data, cache, dalvik cache and battery stats.

No, he needs to make sure that he flashed the kernel separately through fastboot, or through an app called "flash image GUI" in the market. If you used HTC's unlock method, the standard custom recovery won't flash a kernel to the boot partition, as that partition is still locked.
If you use Flash Image GUI, you flash the kernel first, then boot into recovery and flash the ROM.
If you use Fastboot, if you use command "fastboot boot recovery.img" while your in the bootloader (fastboot usb) you can flash the ROM and kernel at the same time. See, when you boot normally into recovery, you only have access to write privileges to the system, cache, and data partitions, because of the way HTC's unlock method is. BUT, if you boot into recovery by FASTBOOT, you get full write privileges to all partitions. You do this by having a copy of your recovery.img in the same folder as your fastboot, and adb (same folder which you put your unlock code.bin file in) , and boot into bootloader in fastboot mode, and connect your usb cable, and open a command prompt window inside your fastboot and adb folder, and type "fastboot boot recovery.img" and it will boot your recovery and give you FULL write access to all your partitions and you can flash any ROM as you normally would.

Did you boot your recovery using fastboot? If not, that's the problem. Unless you boot recovery using fastboot, then your boot partition won't get flashed, thus meaning that your kernel doesn't get flashed. That means you'll bootloop. On your computer, open up a command prompt. Navigate to the folder that contains your recovery.img. Then do "adb reboot bootloader" (w/o the quotes). Then do "fastboot boot recovery.img" (or whatever the name of your recovery.img is...it may not be 'recovery.img'. If it's twrp2.img, or whatever, type that). That should boot your phone into recovery, and from there you'll be good. Your boot partition will be flashed. So try booting to recovery that way and then try restoring a nandroid. If that doesn't work, boot to recovery the way I said, and try flashing a rom from scratch, after a full wipe of course.

Glad you got it up and running again.
Trying to figure out if I can get the view working for my friend.
We rooted it via HTCDev, flashed CWM with fastboot and tried to then flash CGRom with appropriate GApps in recovery after doing factory reset, cache wipe, dalvik cache wipe and a wipe of the /system.
Phone said all was installed correctly, and when rebooting went straight to a black screen.
Trying to power off the View would not work, it keeps booting to the recovery.
Figured out the battery was very low so we charged it fully on a battery machine.
Still would not boot.
Tried flashing another rom, which at least got us to the boot animation, but it just sits with the animation repeating over and over.
Cant flash the only RUU I found because it is older than the last firmware on the device.
Wanted to use the multitool, but it doesn't support the HBoot we're on, and requires the tablet to be fully booted for other functions....
At this point I'm stumped, and we'd be happy just to get it back working even if it was only stock.
Did you flashed the boot.IMG manually? Since you rooted the view via fastboot you need to flash the boot.img from the ROM manually every time you flash a ROM.

Manually how?
Via fast boot or recovery?
If fast boot what is the command? And I can just pull it out of the rom's zip file?

Ok since you chosen CGROM open the zip file. There you will find a files boot.img. Copy it to the directory where you have adb and fastboot.
Open CMD or Terminal navigate to the directory and type
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
The problem should be fixed.
Finally got back from vacation and gave this a whirl.
Worked perfectly, thank you.

Hi, i recently got new phone and manage to break it in few hours trying to install cm-11-20140130-NIGHTLY-enrc2b and forgot to do nandroid backup.
I want to go back to stock rom but i can't figure out how to do anything.
After i cut my sim card to mini size i don't have any other phone to use with it so i need to fix it asap. Please anyone help.
Flash the boot img in fastboot . Just google how to flash fast boot. The boot is located in the rom zip . Or try to run the latest ruu specific for your phone

You have a custom recovery installed , i suppose..TWRP? you should ADB sideload a custom rom. If you have international or AT&t version both are available in the Rom sections(http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-x2/development?nocache=1) . Before doing sideload erase all.
Goodluck.
I have CWM installed now, tried to install from sideload but didn't work, "error: device not found" or "device offline"
Installed TWRP and adb sideload don't work anyway. Or wait, it worked. Sending now.
After installing, i press Reboot System and "No OS Installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot?" warning shows up. After rebooting i'm back to start.
Just tried to install other custom rom and still phone won't go past that screen.
ok stop
breathe
sideload a new rom on twrp (is a pain) it will never flash 1st time
once it's "sideloaded" you can install a zip called sieload.zip under the rom install menu.
MAKE SURE you wipe
data (not storage) system and cache
INSTALL the rom
fastboot flash boot boot.img in the bootloader
reboot
adb shows up "error: closed"
adb shows up "error: closed"
used adb kill-server and start-server and error gone
And still does not start, stuck at white htc screen.

I don't know why but it never install rom, it says that installation is complete, but it's not.
