Hi,
today I wanted to flash this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2249760 , but by mistake I flashed boot.img by clicking "flash system" on WinDroid HTC Desire X toolkit I think this is the reason why I can't install any rom on my device because it stuck on the black screen after white HTC. I wanted to flash stock system.img but I can't find it anywhere :crying: Can anybody help me?
Just flash that Rom through recovery then reboot to bootloader and type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and flash the boot.img inside.

Recovery? If you have JB version you must have hboot 1.25, too; if you have 1.24 hboot install an ICS recovery.
And don't forget to wipe all.

I know this. I have 1.25 hboot, TWRP recovery 2.6, I wiped, flashed this rom, and then boot.img throught fastboot. And I still can't launch my phone. I also tried other roms but it's still the same. I don't have any backups. I don't know what to do:crying:

If first you try SuperWipe script and then reflash Rom and boot.img? If it's something releated to partitions..
xpirt
Still nothing. I tried SuperWipe. Do you have any other ideas? Thank you for all help.

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
Just wipe flash a new rom. Should be good to go

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 had the same problem try to install new recovery VIA fastboot an wipe data/factory reset then flash new ROM u should be all set to go

As title says i want to know how to boot my Main ROM, i installed Boot manager and on one slot i installed MIUI, after that i tried to go to my main rom with no success, its still on MIUI, Boot manager is not working properly, when i select boot phone rom nothing happens. Idk how to go back now. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Try two things.
1. Try to reinstall boot manager in miui rom and then try to boot to phone rom.
2. You can flash the update.zip file in the phone rom folder on recovery. Then reboot those should boot you into the phone rom.

ok first even boot manager tells you that you should have s-off for this to work properly.... and it would work you will just have to manually flash the boot.img's to the rom you want to load

@luis4ever
This is correct, you need to fastboot to recovery then flash the phone Rom update.zip. that's the only way for s-on'ers to flash to boot from recovery.

I have been s-off since the downgrade was discovered so I don't know about smartflash but I do use 4ext. And I feel like I'm intruding on wloftus because he has you dilemma figured out, but here's what I'd do. Sorry wloftus.
Fastboot boot "anyrecovery.img" and flash the phone Rom update. You can flash 4ext, cwm or twrp. It doesn't matter that 4ext is installed on the phone, it won't hurt if you boot a different recovery from fastboot. 4ext will still be there when you regular boot to recovery. I've done this many times with twrp installed and fastbooted to cwm.
Edit... You said you reinstalled meanrom, if you had a custom kernel installed to it when u set up phone Rom then the update.zip might not get you back to meanrom. If you had the stock kernel for meanrom then the update should work.

This is what i did:
1. adb reboot bootloader.
2. fastboot boot recovery.img(TWRP 1.1)
3. Install ZIP(MeanROM 3.92 with ziggy)
Should it work? It is installing the ZIP right now
EDIT: It is working. At least i have now the boot animation from MeanROM. It is booting. I promise i wont use Boot Manager again.

Yeah, that should overwrite the boot image that's taking you to miui and get you back to your phone Rom.
For future reference you shouldn't ever have to reflash a whole Rom just to get back to the phone Rom. As wloftus said earlier, the phonerom update just wasnt sticking because you are s-on. I'm sure this can be done with smart flash but I don't know how. Next time just fastboot to recovery and flash the update.
Edit... Dude, boot manager is da bomb. I used it for 6 months with s-on and never had this issue. Just a lil hiccup for you, now you know how to fix it.

If your posting in the HOX forum. Does that mean you also flashed CWM for the HOX? Because it's not compatible with the HOX+.

Ok done that... Worked like a charm.
Then flashed to InsertCoin and failed, tried to recover, failed. TWRP wouldn't boot.
So I tried installing my RUU again (2nd time in 2 days), but during the signature verification process it suddenly stopped, got an error. Now I'm stuck at the black screen with silver HTC lettering........ Can't reboot nothing! HELP!
which TWRP file do you download and flashed?
to install RUU you need to relock the bootloader

Got TWRP working finally and managed to restore my backup.
There seems to be something I'm doing wrong here... Every time I flash my device, I keep getting stuck in airplane mode and it wont get out... So, no cell reach or wifi. Does anybody have a suggestion what it might be?
Basically using any ROM to start my phone I have to use "fastboot boot boot.img" to start it. I do not want this as I recently did a job for a friend and he is not very good with technology, so this is not a good enough method for him to start his phone.
The guy who made the InsertCoin ROM told me that it seems the boot partition is corrupted, which is what I originally feared. Can I get any help please with this?

So if you try to flash the very same boot.img you're using for starting your phone via above command with fastboot flash boot boot.img you can't start your phone afterwards? Also, have you tried to S-OFF your phone and flashing boot.img via recovery? Or reformatting boot after doing S-OFF?
what did you do get this error in the first place? i flashed kernels via "fastboot flash boot boot.img" a lot of times and never encountered any problems.
havent tested this, dont know if its possible to boot a jellybean-kernel via fastboot if you're still on ics-hboot, but maybe this is the problem?
afair if you're on ics-hboot, the jellybean kernel is too big in size to be flashed in the ics-boot partition, but maybe booting it is possible cause its just temporarily?
so whats your hboot-version and what kernel did you try to flash?
jellybean hboot is 1.25.002 btw, lower one is ics.
Another thing: Try to flash Infinity kernel from Original Development section. It is small enough to fit on ICS hboot boot partition, and you should be able to boot normally.

Hi guys my htc desire X goes in a continious boot loop. I turn it on then a minute later it restarts a minute later. The process repeats itself over and over.
CID: HTC_001
Baseband: 10.22.40.06U_1.15.40.04
Rom version: 2.20.401.5
Its rooted on stock with unlocked bootloader.
I tried to reflash the stock recovery but it does not show, does anyone have the correct stock image to flash?
I also cannot revert to stock RUU as my phone is updated from the version its trying to flash.
Can anyone help?

Your continuous bootloop is a sign of motherboard failure if you did not messed up any system file.
