Post [Q] Install Android Revolution HD HTC One X

Hi, i´m just new on Android. The HTC One X is my first Smartphone and i want to install the Android Revolution HD 6.0 rom. I know this: First i need unlocked via Htcdev and install SuperSU. That is clear for me.
But in the instruction for ARHD 6.0 says, that i need to flash the boot.img of the rom first and then install the rom. In the tutorial are 3 files: ARHD 6.0 - ARHD super wipe and flash_boot_6.0.0. In the last find a READ ME: I need to run the install-boot-windows.bat and then install the ARHD in Recovery.
That is where i´m confused.
Must i the boot.img of the ARHD One X 6.0.0 flash or run the intall-boot-windows.bat. Or both?
I know, are many tutorials but i have this problem and it´s my first time with Android and ROMS.
BTW i´ve install the last OTA (1.29.401.11), i live in germany and my phone ist unbranded. There is a problem with this. Must i have the 1.28.401.9?

Yes you do need it and it needs to be flashed prior to flashing the rom. Simply open the zip file once its downloaded, put your phone into fastboot-usb and run the install-windows.bat file. The boot.img file is then automatically flashed.

The boot.img is packaged in the zip/rar file, which contains a batch file that somewhat automates the boot flash. So, the boot.img and the flash boot 6.0 are one and the same step.

Yea you need it.
But you don't flash it using CWR, instead you unzip on your pc and run the script for your OS. In windows its a bat file that flashes the boot.img to your phone

EDIT: hehe need to learn to reload the site before replying =P

Don't be panic . Just goto fastboot and flash the respective boot.img for the Rom you have flashed.

First erase the cache and flash the boot.img
