[Q/Help]Boot loops on various ROMS

Jason Broadhurst · Jun 24, 2013

Hi Guys (long time listener first time caller etc etc)

I finally got the courage to install a custom rom on to my HTC One XL (Telstra). After unlocking it installing the custom bootloader (2.5.0.0 TW) I have tried to install some roms and get no where with a few of them and boot loops if they actually install.

The two I can get to install but boot loop are ViperXL and cyanogenmod 10.0.

I am thinking I am doing something really simple wrong, but have tried a lot of things but no luck.

Details below; If there is anything else which might shed some light please let me know.

Evita PVT Ship s-on RL
HBoot-2.14.0000
RADIO-1.26a.32.45.1219
openDSP-v34.1.0.45.1219
eMMC-BOOT
nov 26 2012 18:37:14-1

Is anyone able to steer me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance, Jase

oh, I did install all of Telstra's updates prior to starting. The last one brought android up to 4.1.2 I think.

Welcome mate.
Couple of things...

The HBoot version you have won't allow you to update the boot.img of the rom your flashing as part of rom installation. You have 2 options - first is to s-off which pretty much lets you do whatever you like. Check in the original development thread for how to s-off if you're interested.
The second option is to flash (install) the boot.img in bootloader mode.
You can do that either before or after you flash the rom. Before I was s-off I did it both before and after.....

There's a few ways to do it including using adb or some apps will do it automatically for you. Take a look here for one example: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1870455

And the second thing - good idea to post questions in the Q&A thread. More people look through there so you'll get your answer faster.
