So a few days ago I got completely fed up with the stock rom and wanted to try out cyanogenmod on my HTC One X+ (the international version). I've unlocked the bootloader, rooted and have replaced the recovery with twrp v2.8.7.0. All was going well until I wiped everything (which included the os), so now I'm stuck without one. Cleverly, I made no backup to restore to. Using fastboot and adb, I've been pushing various roms and attempting to install them; the installs are apparently successful but when I try to launch the system I'm stuck on the spinning cyanogenmod logo. This seems to be a pretty common problem among everybody using custom roms and the fix for this seems to always be go and factory reset the device, wipe things etc, which I have been doing anyway each time before installing a rom. I've been doing this in circles for the last day and a half, is anybody able to help?

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Could you explain that process in a little more detail? I'm a bit of a noob.

Thanks for this, it seems most of the guides I've been using skip this stage. The phone was working like a charm with cm10 but I was prompted to update, and now I'm stuck on the spinning boot logo again. What should I do?

Just grab the rom from here : https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=enrc2b
And flash the boot.img manually

So I was walking my girlfriend through rooting her new Evo3D, and we couldn't get the phone to get past the 'MI' logo, so I figured it was a kernel thing. After four kernels and two versions of MIUI I realized that it wasn't the issue, it was the hboot.
She didn't back up, she has only had it since last night. I now know what I need to do to flash the ROM, but how can I get her back to stock so I can get the app needed?
Any help?
She has HBOOT 1.5, right?
Go back to the folder where you did all the rooting. Get the stock MIUI kernel (boot.img from the flashable zip) and place it in that folder. Open up a cmd and navigate to that folder.
Boot her phone into fastboot mode. (Vol down + power while the phone is off. Hit power button to select fastboot once it goes into bootloader) Plug the phone into the computer via USB
Type 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' in the kernel. If it successfully flashes, you are done! MIUI should boot up now that it has the appropriate kernel. You will need to do this for any ROM you flash.
As long as you have a recovery, just flash whatever rom you want through fastboot and the kernel will stick.
Or just download a stock rooted rom and flash that the same way you just tried to flash MIUI. It will work since you still have the original kernel.

Well, ROM's cant be flashed through fastboot. The ROM is flashed through recovery. Then you go to fastboot and flash the kernel with my guide above. After that, everything should be working fine.

Hopefully this works! Shes at church right now but I will have her do this ASAP and I'll report back!
(Awesome response time BTW)
Roms are flashed through fastboot just by loading your recovery into fastboot.
I never flash roms and kernels separately. Just go into fastboot, load your recovery, and flash as you normally would.

I had something similar when flashing MIUI. if you boot the recovery.img from fastboot it should work. you may want to re download just in case of a bad download.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
I'm having the same problem as epicchase. have attempted to flash miui many times. at first i tried to do it through my recovery. it didn't work. then i tried to use the fast boot method and flash it from the recovery that i opened from fast boot. i'm quite frustrated. it just wont boot miui, is it the kernel, i'm new to rooting in general but i think i know what i'm doing. i have spent who knows how many hours trying everything i can. i tried flashing the boot.img and the ROM separately. I have successively flashed android revolution hd, but that's no fun, its nearly the same as the stock ROM any suggestions would be appreciated. it boots but i guess it must be a boot loop but idk all i know is it freezes in the middle of the boot animation.
ps. i am rooted using the htc official method (unfortunately) and am s-on)

Did you do a full wipe before you flashed? Find Virus's Superwipe tool (.zip), boot to recovery with fastboot, flash the superwipe.zip, then flash MIUI.

well it didn't work it did the same exact thing. I've been giving it about 10 mins to attempt to boot is that long enough? I'm new to non sense roms I've only ever used sense, is there something I'm forgetting to do that is different for non sense roms. *frustration* (and i thought i was beginning to understand this)
---------- Post added at 09:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:46 PM ----------
okay well i tried to flash cyanogenmod 7 still no dice. I must be an idiot, sorry for being a noob.
this is what im doing.
im placing the .zip on root of my sd card. then opening my cmd.
i then type " cd c:\android" (i saved the recovery image in a folder named android) it says
"c:\android" just as it should i then type "fastboot boot recovery.img"
it restarts my phone in recovery
i press install .zip from sd card then click wipe cache and dalvik cache it goes and does its work
i then select the superwipe.zip it says flash compete however it says error or something but i just kind of ignored it.
i then select my miui.zip that i got from www.miui.us
i then select install .zip files the first thing that comes up is "md5 check fail- ignoring" and the continues and flashes (i have no clue what that part means but i continue anyway)
i select reboot and it starts to boot my phone i get the white screen with green htc.
i then get the miui boot animation for anywhere from 2-5 seconds and then it freezes.
i sit and nearly just stare at it and the clock. i wait at least 5 mins but have waited up to 30 mins.
the boot animation never restarts i just freezes there making me think it is not a boot loop (however the definition of an actual bootloop is slightly vague to me.)
anyway thanks for reading and if you have any suggestions i will be very happy for now im just gonna run my android revolution hd rom.
If superwipe isn't working, fastboot to recovery, go to the wipe menu, not install a zip, wipe dalvik, cache, and factory reset. Don't do the factory reset in android, do it in recovery. I'm guessing you got a corrupt download of superwipe, I would redownload it and try it again if I were you.
Try using this one.

After weeks of reading and being scared to death of unlocking and flashing, i finally decided to give it a shot this morning. I unlocked with no problems, then flashed MROM-CM7, thats when things went downhill. I followed the instructions to a T, formatted everything, etc, got stuck at the red "M". Tried several times with no luck, tried to restore my Nandroid backup, got the flashing "android" after the red M screen. Now I have apparently screwed something else up because I cant get in to android recovery (CWM?) now. It never did show it as cwm, just android recovery. Atrix MB860 2.3.6, I am afraid it is a brick at this point. Tried to load recovery again to try to fix it, but I cant get recovery.img to flash via fastboot, just gives an error, "Cannot load", wish I had just left it alone this morning. Am I screwed or is there something else I can do/try?
fastboot?

I was using fastboot, but in my haste, I realized I was not in the correct directory, hence the error. When things go wrong, it is always best to slow down, not speed up!
Flashed down viperRom one after rooting my phone. I restarted the phone and now its stuck on the boot screen. I cant hard reboot with volume-down+ power. Computer wont recognize it. Any thoughts on how to get somewhere? Anywhere?

In my experience, being stuck at the boot screen (not to be confused with the bootloader) is due to an incompatible kernel. Make sure you flashed a kernel built for the same Android version as the ROM.

I am having a similar problem. I unlocked the bootloader and have TWRP, rooted, and then flashed the Bulletproof Kernel then wiped cache after flash. Now when I turn the phone on it shows the HTC logo then goes to a black screen and just hangs there and eventually reboots and hangs on the black screen again. I do not have a ROM on the phone storage and am working on trying to sideload one but am having a little trouble. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Fixed my issue. Had the wrong kernel installed. Flashed the correct one through fastboot and got it working

Why are you wiping after you flash the rom?
Just flash the rom, flash Gapps,...reboot.
If I remember correctly, I needed to pull the boot.img from the 4.4 tiKtaK Alpha ROM and flash it with Fastboot to get the ROM running.

Try just going back into recovery again, don't wipe anything, reflash the rom and Gapps.
If you are not s-off, then yes you will have to fastboot flash the boot image as mentioned above.

That's definitely possible.
I would suggest hunting down the latest available radio for your device and falshing it if you aren't on it already.

Dang yeah im on current radio (1.53.06.0919). I'm stumped, I just tried the whole process over Locked bootloader, then unlocked, fastbooted cwm recovery and flashed rom + gapps. It keeps hanging at the htc screen, what are my options?

Check the md5 sum of the file you downloaded against what's on the server.

Silly question, but are you sure you have the correct gapps? Maybe flash just the rom and see if you can complete the boot process. Then install gapps.

I'll do a quick a run down of what my phone has been through, so you have the info you need before asking.
1. Bought used i9305 with defect charger port
2. Soldered on a new port
3. Flashed CWM
4. Flashed ROM's for a while.
5. Reflashed to stock.
6. Tried to flash CWM again but soft-bricked my phone.
7. Reflashed to stock.
8. Flashed CWM and now i keep getting different errors when trying to flash Custom ROM's.
I first off started to have this problem: Status 7.
I did the updater-script fix, to no avail.
Then i got Status 4 error, and can't find anything about it on the webs.
So it won't let me flash any CR's.
I tried:
Updater-Script fix (Gave me Status 4 right after)
Different ROM's (CM , AOKP)
Different Recoveries (CWM Touch , CWM Non Touch , CM Recovery , TWRP (Didn't flash correctly so it didn't show)
Different Kernels (Stock and AGNi)
Also when i flashed recoveries on a stock kernel, and i booted into OS then it overwrites the recovery, so i had to pull out the battery and boot directly into the recovery and when i rebooted the custom recovery was gone. until i installed AGNi.
UPDATE:
I have a thing i will try later today, which is flashing another firmware file.
If this works, then i'll post it.

My device is rooted (AGNi kernel roots it)
And i know how to flash CR's, i have done it since 2012, but this error is very new to me.
UPDATE:
After flashing a old firmware (3.1.2 Jelly bean) it seems it has fixed this, but i'm still encountering problems.
The new problem is that somehow i don't have a recovery anymore, i fixed this by flashing a custom recovery.
I could install the zip file, but even after /system wipe and factory reset the phone would not boot.
I proceeded to unbrick the hardbrick with my RIFF.
i also checked that it was for my i9305, which is was.
UPDATE:
After i removed CF-AutoRoot files from my NAND it worked outta nowhere.
