[Q] Need to Fastboot Boot.img after battery out - HTC Desire X

hey guys. after flashing a rom and fastbooting the boot.img, it seems that every time i take the battery out, the system gets stuck with the initial loading. The screen doesn't show the "beats audio"part and the sound is gone. then I get a dark screen and its stuck. Only when I fasboot the boot.img again it goes back to normal. Any idea if thats normal?

Use command
fastboot flash boot boot.img
not
fastboot boot boot.img

You have an old ICS hboot so it's best for you to flash an ICS rom and ICS boot.img

I see. is there a possibility for me to upgrade it? if its possible, do you have a recommended Hboot or a thread I can read about it? I have been running to other problems as well when I was trying to get the rom up and running to be honest... I guess it could be related.

hey guys, just to give you an update - I checked out both of your suggestions. for the upgrade of the HBOOT I could not locate a version for my own CID. I did however go with the suggestion to work with ICS recovery and ICS rom to load up. This is what I did:
1) while in the JB rom, I flashed ICS TWRP recovery
2) then, according to ShadowX suggestions, I first loaded up the boot installer from the computer while in Fastboot mode
3) wiped Data and Cache
4) flashed the Rom. apparently it has Busybox within the installer
Now, so far so good. I took off the battery and it still loaded up fine. Thanks so much for your responses!

If you have a backup from your stock rom, you can use that along with stock recovery and boot.img to upgrade to Hboot 1.25 so that you can use JB roms

yeah, I managed to understand that only after rooting the phone without doing any backup... It seems no-one else on the internet has this CID or has a downloadable version.

Can't flash rom (Recovery problem)

I have unlocked my evo 3d from htcdev.com. It is S-ON, Non Rooted. I can't flash any ROM, when I enter Recovery it says in the bottom- E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
When I press "Apply update from external storage" it says then: Invalid operation Success rebooting by reason 0em8 (or smt like that)
update stock rom
Mine stock rom is already in latest Android 4.0.3 dont have any more updates. And its stock. hboot 1.53.007 S-ON Unlocked
Try changing recoveries. I like 4ext.

I said that my evo 3d isnt rooted!! I cant use 4ext! What now? Its just Unlocked so I can flash rom, but Recovery doesnt allow!

Ummm, excuse me, but yes you can. Being unlocked allows you to flash a custom recovery. In fact the order is unlock, flash custom recovery, flash custom Rom. So, you can use fastboot to flash a custom recovery.

rooted my stock rom using the superuser app.
But whenever i try to flash boot.img from a custom rom,
nothing changes. i tried rebooting several times but i

More info would be helpfully, firstly what is your hboot? Are you s-on or s-off? What Rom did you flash? You are have issues with bootloops after you flash a rom?
(My evil evo is snake bitten by venom sense 4.1 rom and also infected with THE kernel,don't ask me for help, as I couldn't care less if you phone explodes)

re-read the steps on flashing a ROM...youll find out you need more than just the boot.img file to do it... only time you should have to flash the boot.img is when a new rom is installed but wont boot up...if your phone still boots then youre not installing the ROM properly
You need to supply the information that flashallthetime requested, but you should also be aware that flashing boot.img from fastboot does not flash the ROM and doesn't even flash all the files associated with the kernel. The attached screenshot of the warning that comes up in 4EXT when selecting the "flash boot.img" option expains it better than I can.
If you are S-ON, the proper way to flash a ROM is to "fastboot boot recovery.img" then flash the entire ROM .zip file from recovery, or use 4EXT with the S-ON (SmartFlash) option enabled. You can tell that SmartFlash is working by watching to see if your phone boots twice after your exit recovery. The first boot is used to flash the boot partition and the second boot loads the new kernel and ROM.
Don't confuse the complete kernel with boot.img, which is only one of the files required.

thank you for your replies!!
flashallthetime my hboot version is 1.53.0007 and i am s-on.
I tried to flash the Cool-ICS and the cerom.
ramjet73 i tried flashing several diffrent roms(inclucing both of the above) with the 4ext smartflash enabled, but i only got to the animation an then
the whole process froze. And thank you for the explenation with fastboot i was only flashing the boot.img
i guess this is a total noob question but when i type fastboot boot recovery.img it says thatit cannot load recovery.img Where do i get this file from?
Or can you please link me to the thread with more noob friendly info on flashing roms with s-on?

I'm not familiar with the S-ON flashing guides for GSM which will be a little different than those for CDMA, so someone else will have to help with that, but you can get the recovery.img file for 4EXT that you need from the OP of the XDA thread. It's right above the other download links on that page. Look for the following sentence that has the download link embedded:
If you somehow lost those files, there's a direct download for a version you can flash via fastboot.

the "fastboot boot recovery.img" is just a command to get into recovery. You could also use the command "adb reboot recovery" (unless you are in bootloader mode)
I think the problem is your hboot. loads of people have problems with the newer roms because of the 1.53.xxxx hboot

Ok i got it, but if i am in fastboot and execute fastboot boot recovery.img i get an error , but if i execcute the adb command i get into the recovery normaly.
Have you got any idea on how to fix the hboot problems?
If not is there any easy way of downgrading the hboot except the wire trick becose it looks very dangerous and i realy dont wanna brick my phone.

What error do you get when you try the "fastboot boot recovery.img" command? You have to be in the "fastboot USB" mode in the bootloader to run fastboot commands and if you were the ADB commands wouldn't work which require being booted into Android with "debug" on in the developer settings.

Theres no way to downgrade your hboot without the wire trick my friend. you need s-off to downgrade your hboot. any older hboot could have easily been downgraded and then s-offed
I would suggest you try some other rom. This ones a pretty good rom (sense 4.1 but no 3d) and i'm sure it works with s-on/1.53

The OP cant load his recovery because he might not have a file named "recovery.img" in his fastboot/adb folder.
Flashing a boot.img is just the part of flashing ROM, especialy on S-On state. It still has not flashing your ROM, until you "update from *.zip file" from recovery.

[Q] How to replace CWM with TWRP

For the first time I have successfully rooted my phone (SGH-i717D) using Odin and CWM using Max's instructions at rootgalaxynote.com, but I have not flashed the rom yet and still have the stock Telus JB. The trouble is that both devs of the roms I want to try recommend using TWRP 2.5 but I have CWM installed. I tried simply installing GooManager with CWM still present but if I open it I get the CWM screen. How do I remove CWM and install TWRP if I already have the stock rom installed?
Thanks.
You can either flash the twrp zip from cwm recovery, or use odin and install it. It should remove cwm and leave twrp.
Choose your method and download accordingly
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/96
Thanks. I downloaded and flashed the zip. Easy as pie.
Next pint is on me.
How will he collect that?

This will fix devices which were bricked due to firmware incompatibility. This can be caused with the way HTC handles the firmware updates in it's m7's OTAs. If you've been flashing from a 3.x firmware to a 5.x firmware via OTA, or manually, you most likely have a device stuck in QHSUSB_DLOAD. This tool is for you

Edit: Also, it's very very very recommended to Factory Reset in TWRP after Restoring the Firmware. If not done right after Restore, the device may malfunction in some areas, and may (very little) lead to Bricking. I have done this before, when flashing the USA Firmware Version of HTC One's Sense 6. Had to return to Stock due to some recent news in my Data, not connecting to the AT&T Towers, and other stuff. That being said, I've done the old fastboot oem lock and relocked my bootloader, and never again will I ever flash a ROM or anything on my device. Thanks again.

Sorry I should have mentioned I'm on 4.18.502.7. So I guess the question would be, is it ok to flash this over what I have, or should I install the 4.18.502.7 RUU first to take me to complete stock and then flash this?
Also, can someone point me in the direction of a 4.18.502.7 stock recovery?

im trying to get the stock recovery on... i currently was using rom manager and want to change to stock sorry really kinda noob when it come to this phone, my old htc inspire was super easy =)
I think this is just what I need -- I can restore just system from the this TWRP backup in my TWRP recovery and then essentially have an 5.5 --> 6.0 upgrade same as OTA would do if I weren't S-ON/unlocked and could actually apply OTA updates??
I want to avoid having to reconfigure or reinstall anything. I know I take my own risk and if trouble, will have to factory reset.
Dont know if that will work....good luck
Almost does. Booted up just fine and all my apps and settings/config was there other than the wallpaper and Blinkfeed settings. Feeling great right up until the spontaneous reboot, lol. OK, now I'll just do a full restore of this backup and then do a Titanium Backup restore for my apps and settings. Hopefully, that works no prob...
Your gonna have issues again,never restore system data/settings....apps ok

Really? I've done it in the past (flashed an RUU for 4.x and then restored system settings and user apps) w/o issue. Will report on this attempt shortly.
This worked fine. I retired user apps and system data (not system apps of course ). All my setting intact except for the sense stuff. No problems at all.
Last post in here as to not hijack thread, it is always best to reinstall and set up apps from scratch on new rom, the way you and many others do this restore,your settings from an older system/rom may overwrite the newer improvements enhancements in the newer rom, your walking two steps forward and 6 backwards...just my thoughts on it

[SOLVED] Unable to flash any recovery

I have found threads where this was asked too but it didn't get solved or it did but for a specific device.
I have a OPX with OOS 3.1.4
In command prompt typed "fastboot oem device-info" it gives me this info "device unlocked true" typed "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" i named my recovery file "recovery" obviously. i get info
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (14758 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.531s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.313s]
finished. total time: 0.844s
but when i reboot to my recovery it is still the stock OP recovery.

after flashing by "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", boot into recovery directly by giving this cmd "fastboot boot recovery.img" this time it should overwrite your stock op recovery. try this and report back.
I'm assuming your trying to immediately boot into recovery after flashing because it will overwrite it. You can try the command "fastboot erase recovery" before flashing twrp. After flashing recovery completely turn off the phone. Then hold down volume down and proceed powering on into recovery. Sorry for the step by step if your not a noob just have to make sure we cover step by step. The above post is the proper way to boot after flashing try it first.

Thanks for the reply
This is the the info i get:
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.531s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: dtb not found)
finished. total time: 0.578s
And it stays in fastboot mode (guessing cause the dtb wasn't found)

When i boot it stays stuck on the OP logo so I want to try other methods before ereasing my recovery. Cause I think this will give me another problem. Of course if you have more knowledge about this problem and say that it works then i will try it

Not exactly,but as of now there is no official twrp for onyx new bootloader.. Luckily we hv smart dev like @Nachiket.Namjoshi Thank for dem.. And not sure about other devices,but u can update to nougat using this unofficial recovery,all AOSP,CM based Nougat roms are compatible with this..
