Flashing boot.img. Is it critical when this is done? Is the correct sequence:

1) flash rom with applicable wipes
2) boot straight to fastboot USB and flash boot.img before allowing new rom to boot.

Is it bad to allow the new rom to boot before having flashed the boot.img?

I'm getting force close when I try to launch the 'clock' app. Anyone else getting this? Tried repairing permissions and zip align but no better.

Please read through the thread, it has been answered about 300 times

Maybe if 300 people have asked the same question you ought to read between the lines and realise that something is no being explained sufficiently, and it is time to make a concise guide to these things which can be kept up to date as a sticky post.

To suggest that someone should read 615 messages because there is no quick guide is not very helpful.

I too am new to this flashing lark, and had significant problems with my One X this week because ever after reading, I was still confused as to quite which were the correct commands and order to do things in.

I have a phone which rebooted every time it tried to play a sound.

Solution: type Flashboot flash boot boot.img and not Flashboot flash hboot boot.img, the later of which incorrect instruction I picked up by reading THIS FORUM.

Secondly I had a phone where the lock screen didn't ever lock at the right time. Again because I gleaned incorrect information from this forum.

So come-on you experts. Stop being so smug and make a concise and regularly updated guide to flashing.

Then perhaps you wont have 300 people with the same problem pestering you all the time after reading your ambiguous and sometime incomplete snippets of instructions which this forum is littered with. It's not that hard.

To be fair, you only really need to read the first post, which seems to answer the exact question you asked:

This is the essence of the entire problem. Geeks not understanding that you need to provide chronological and complete instructions.

Your life will be easier if you do. Don't you get that?

Or must you perenially continue to moan that people keep asking the same questions...

Doh!

Afaik there are instructions provided by any chef and also a tutorial thread.. Not every geek is good at writing tutorials and to be frankly, I don't need to. I like the users to understand what they are doing rather than just copy pasting from a tutorial

    License Agreement

    By downloading and flashing InsertCoin Custom ROM for HTC ONE X you agree to the following:
    • Your warranty is now void.
    • I am NOT responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROMbefore flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
    • Support is limited. I do this as a hobby in my free time. I'll do my best to help you if you state your problem in clear English, with as much information as you can (what mods you selected, have you wiped, when exactly does the error occur, what type of phone you have (ul, l , ws etc.), what carrier, logcat and so on. The more information you offer, easier for me to help you. If you do not ask for support in clear English and with no information what-so-ever I will ignore your issue!
    • Leave the self entitled customer attitude at the door. I am under NO obligation what-so-ever to do anything for you. If I do it is because I like helping people. Using custom work published on XDA is not a right, it is a privilege. If you think otherwise please read here. Or watch this video.
    • NO Requests! When I work on InsertCoin I have in mind that I have to satisfy all users to a decent level. What works for me might not work for you and vice versa . I'm not your personal ROM developer and it is not my job nor my intention to make everybody happy.
    • Do not come here asking "Hey mate, X rom has that awesome feature and if you don't implement it in your rom, I'll <insert whatever here>!" You flashed this ROM because you liked it at some point, if that change please stop using it.
    • Suggestions for improvements are always welcomed. As long as they are well documented and as long as you understand that NOT everything is possible.
    • NO ETAs! While I do my best to constantly work on the ROM to improve, *fix and add new features, again this is a hobby! There are periods when due real-life issues I can't spend too much time for InsertCoin! If this becomes an obligation passion fades and I might stop cooking the ROM

    I could implement some script to detect adblockers and block access if detected, but I'll rely on your honesty to disable adblockers for insertcoin-roms.org domain.*Are only Google ADS so no viruses or shady java scripts. They are not offensive and won't bother you or force you to click on them, but those ads will help me a lot. Thank you!

    I really hope that it's just a joke.
    But maybe it has something to do with his illness?

    Best wishes


    nop. i'm not ill - yes i had some small issues but don't think i'm unable to work

    i decided to step back for a while. maybe doing this and not being pressured to update / release / fix / offer support /port/ adapt , i'll find some inspiration and time to cook / develop something better / different / new.

    at this point i brought nothing new, is a stock rom, improved and tweaked, optimized with mods/ hacks made by others. on every base update i port / adapt others works to work on new base but just that.

    the improvements in terms of speed and battery i make to roms are the ones i developed over time since Desire , so nothing really new on that front either.

    I hope by stepping back i'll find the time to make something new or different something with the "wow" effect. if i manage to do that rest assure, i will share with you my friends and fans. but is a big "IF"

    JellyBean ROM

    Firmware:

    http://d-h.st/F6R


    ROM:

    http://d-h.st/xQ0



    WARNING

    To boot the ROM needs the new firmware

    The new firmware can be flashed with the following method

    1. relock you device.
    2. start you phone
    3. adb reboot oem-78 for cmd
    4. fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

    Firmware will only flash on the phones with the following CID
    cidnum: HTC__001
    cidnum: HTC__E11
    cidnum: HTC__203
    cidnum: HTC__102
    cidnum: HTC__405
    cidnum: HTC__Y13
    cidnum: HTC__A07
    cidnum: HTC__304
    cidnum: HTC__M27
    cidnum: HTC__032
    cidnum: HTC__016
    cidnum: HTC__J15

    4.a. after you run 1st time you'll see " FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately)" . DO NOT PANIC

    4.b run again fastboot flash zip firmware.zip. now it should say successful


    5. after you see successfully in cmd prompt - unlock your phone again
    6. reboot to bootloader.
    7. flash custom recovery
    8. flash boot.img from rom zip
    9. boot in recovery
    10. flash the rom
    11. boot the rom and install supersu from market coz i forgot to add it
    12. profit

    AGAIN PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO CIDs, if cid is no match, no firmware, no jellybean.

    ALSO THE HBOOT ONCE UPDATED CANT BE DOWNGRADED! so you wont be able to flash any RUUs (you will be able to flash the JB Final ruu when it comes out

    ONE MORE: I dont know if ICS roms will still work with the new hboot (according to football they don't), if they don't your busted. you stay with JB :)

    BOTTOM LINE, flashing the firmware is a one way trip. once updated your updated you cant downgrade so make sure this is what you want!.

    I'm no responsible for bricked phones. You do it on your own RISK
