Here’s another “fail-proof” method to install ROMs on your rooted HTC One X.
Why another installation method?
Well, some ROMs require you to flash boot.img separately, otherwise your new custom ROM may not boot. This is due to AROMA installers not flashing boot image or that the developer left out boot image flashing in their zip files. But no worries, this will get your new custom ROM booting fully.

Max are there certain things you need to do after you install a Custom Rom like check Root or….???
Nope, check root app is just for checking for root, don’t install that, wastes battery life.
So by installing Roms you can’t loose root right only by OTA updates?
What do you do after installing a custom rom?
i did all the above step and everything went well, but its stuck on a boot loop it says cyanogenmod 9 and never finishes booting any suggestions
you just haven’t done the boot.img steps correctly…
hi,i guess i have to install boot.img seperately as it doesn”t show on the fast boot mode.please let me know how to do that.phone is only loaing ” CyanogenMod” (i am new to the subject)

YOU ARE THE BEST!!! I’m using the android revolution but it didn’t worked by his method and it worked by urs keep it up đ
I did everything as detailed here, but my phone is stuck at the cynogenmod boot sequence forever, I need help with this. Also the loading screen says cynogenMod 9 instead of 10 , is this because the rom is so new that they havnt updated that screen yet ?
Try a fresh reinstall.
u must flash gapps…. after that u will have no problem at all

Hi I used the tutorial to unlock bootloader and root the onex that worked fine, however when i went to install the rom using the method you showed copy the boot file to onexroot folder and then flash it didnt’ work. my phone wont turn on now! what do i do??
which rom?
CM-10-20120814-unofficial-evita for the HOX AT&T version…the bottom icons blink like 3 times and that about it.
oh and forgot to mention it’ll let me boot into twrp, and every once in a while it’ll go lil bit further to “HTC One” with beats logo and pause. please tell me there’s a way to get it workin agian.
Try an easier ROM, the CM10 is a bit “beta”, it takes me usually 2-3 installs before booting.
um nvm guess i missed a step but its working…luv htc but hate them for makin a phone with no sd storage…
heyy maxx
i have htc one x international
i just installed cm 10 jelly bean rom with your method on onexroot.com
i backed up my stock one x rom and installed cm10
then i restored my stock rom after using cm10
now my one x doenst boot with the stock rom please help me????
You need to reinstall boot.img from your backup.
do you need to extract the rom to put it on your phone or can you just place the .zip file on it?
just place the whole zip file yes.
i did everything in the video and it says OKAY but nothing changes? (viper ROM)
What is OKAY? and what doesn’t change???

U should download a RUU for ur phone. If u unlocked ur phone then just relock it & then install the RUU from ur pc to phone via usb cable.
U can download it from here–
http://www.filefactory.com/f/7cc7b2fbdd03c031/
& follow the instruction from here–
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/disaster-recovery-helps-htc-one-x-users-recover-from-nearly-anything/
I faced the same problem & now it is not a problem for me. It’s too much easy to recover my phone…
So try…

but i dont have that folder on my computer how do i extract and flash then?
hey …………. im stuck right now ………… my phone is rooted and im in a bootloop i cant conect the usb as it only reads it as fastboot
install drivers!
Max,
Hey dude, I really like ur tutorial i rooted my htc one x and everything go well,
and im trying to go ahead and install jelly bean, but just because im totally noob,
I formatted my sdcard and system, fml… now im stuck at the bootloader cant do anything other than power down…
PLEASE HELP ME!!!
reinstall ROM in recovery and reinstall boot.img. And don’t format everything, just do only “data wipe/factory reset” before installation.
There is no ROM in SD card, i formatted everything…
but is okay now, i download Asia WWE RUU and install again.
Thanks for concern
I get this message when im going to flash the boot.img C:\Users\theodore\Downloads\OneXRoot>fastboot flash boot boot.img
error: cannot load ‘boot.img’ pleas help me!!!!
Make sure you copy boot.img to OneXRoot directory, double-check the file even exists.
Hi Max
I have copied the image folder however I am still obtaining this error as theodore. Please help!
boot.img correct?
Hi Max, I’m a humble fan of your videos but have made a couple of nooby mistakes. I’ve been proceed to get back to a functioning ROMhe wonderful CM10 ROM but forgot to initially backup my stock ROM. I tried flashing a nightly update but it was corrupted and so I’ve been unable to restore the original CM10 ROM (I backed this up). I still have access to clockwork but can’t restore the CM10 ROM and am stuck with the htc white screen. I don’t know how to proceed to get back to a functioning ROM. Any advice would be greatly welcomed and again, sorry for the questions and stupidity!
restore your rom then re-install boot.img from CM10 zip file.
Hi Max,
Thanks for the video guides!
After installing the latest Cyanogenmod I do not find the camera app anymore!!!! how is that possible?
thanks
Luca
Not sure why but you can also install ICS Camera from Play store.
hai there..i rooted my one x by following ur video..and succeeded. but when i tried installing revolution hd-one-x-13 custom roms, i kept getting the “Installation aborted” message. already did the boot.img using fastboot. i’m using Mac by the way..
and also when i dloaded the custom roms, they’re unzipped automatically by mac…do i just re-zip it ? or there’s a specific way of doing it.
Hi I can’t watch or download the video. Isit down ?
let say, i would like to install Android Revolution HD 13 on my HTC one x tegra.
do i have to care about my phone CID? i am having a CID HTC_044 phone.
can i confirm this procedure with rom installation?
1.wipe phone
2.install custom rom
3.flash boot.img
just like that right?
Hi Max,
I attempted to install cm-10-20120919-nightly-evita by following your instructions. After i fastboot it using cmd prompt, then erase cache, and then fastboot reboot, the system does not go beyond the introduction screen of “HTC quietly brilliant”… eventually the screen is turned off. please help.
Vr
Try reflashing recovery and try getting into recovery.

I am having trouble getting the boot.img to unzip…when I use winzip it says that is not a appear to be a valid archive and I have tried to download the zip several times but cant seem to get to the boot.img do you know what I am doing? Please help
… I spelled “drag” wrong. Don’t mind it, it’s not supposed to be “Drage and drop”. Haha! Let me know if this does or doesn’t work for you.
Why in the world was this comment authorized, but not the other one? This one makes absolutely no sense without the other!
And, Richard, you are stuck in a boot loop. I’d suggest following the steps I’d posted earlier to see if they’d work for you, but they weren’t authorized as a comment for some reason! And I don’t have enough time until class starts to help you out, quite yet. I will come back as soon as I can and we can figure your phone out. Do you want to keep the Viper rom or just totally flash back to stock?
Many thanks for all your help.
you can try sending me the steps you tried.
Depending on what one would be easier as long as i can get the phone up and running HA!
i have done a “fastboot getvar cid” got “cid: ORANG001”
Also found this, but don’t know how to use it. Great for me!
Been trying to stuff my brain with soo much information so i can figure it out.
I think, because I left a link in my last comment, it’s stuck on “awaiting moderation”. ‘ll just post everything except the .com in the link, and see if that works.
Do you still have the Viper rom installed? If you still have your Viper Rom installed, I think all that you need to do in order to escape the boot loop is to flash the boot.img. The steps to do this that worked for me are below, I wrote down what I did, word for word:
On your computer, open your custom rom .zip file with WinRAR (or another program) and from your custom rom .zip folder, drag and drop the boot.img into your OneXRootATTNew folder for now.
Next, go to this website and download the program: “forum (dot) xda-developers (dot com) /showthread.php?t=1962428”
Drag and drop your boot.img into the âTN_WIN_Boot_Installerâ folder with the executable files.
Now youâll have to make sure your One X is set to âUSB Debuggingâ in âDeveloper Optionsâ in âSettingsâ, and then plug your phone into your computer, select âCharge Onlyâ, and hold down power and volume until you boot into fastboot.
Now back on your computer, double-click âRunME_From_FastBootâ. in the folder where you dropped your boot.img, then follow the command prompt, select power down in fastboot once itâs complete, and then turn your phone back on. It should work!
Let me know if it doesnât!
Unfortunately That didn’t work, what I’m looking to do is find divers for mass storage cause when i plug it into my computer when it’s booting it recognises it.
It turns out that I simply happened upon something very lucky. Viper ROM XL installs a kernel of its own in the process of flashing, and this allowed me to use my phone. It turns out that flashing the boot.img of any other rom and trying to install it didn’t work at all. I’d suggest flashing the Viper ROM XL Jelly Bean version, and when that kernel is installed, it may be possible to go from there. Sorry for all the confusion! HTC needs to get their head in the game! This phone is turning out to be a development disaster. I miss my 250 dollars.
Hello,
I’ve been following your guides to root my phone and put a custom ROM onto it. I had no experience in doing this so I thought I would follow your guide and was stupid enough not to back up the original ROM along with not reading up properly on what I was about to do…
The problem I’m having is after putting the custom ROM which was ViperX3.2.0 The phone just stays stuck on the HTC one Tm with beats audio and keeps resetting it self, anyway i can fix it? or have i bricked it.
I’ve cleared the cache and that don’t seem to work. if there is a way to get the original ROM & put it on there I would be happy to hear about it. I’ve caused enough damage for one day. or just a way out of it đ
Many thanks,
Rich
I know i have flashed the boot from extracting it from the program flashing boot.boot.img
However i will do what you said soon bit pretty sure wobt work, cause it helped me get a little further even agter cleanijg the cache i would get to the final loadibg screen just before would log ne into the phone, when the htc one comes up with the beats audio at the bottom
Great! It works! One problem with CM10 though….. there is no way I can access my settings through any apps because there is supposed to be a “…” on the bottom of the screen. It isn’t there so I can’t access the settings. Is there going to be an update for that?
please help my telephone one x stuck at X screen its not working please help.
Before I go ahead and flash over my first ROM i want to make sure i do not mess anything up. So, this is the method that can be used to install CM10.1 for AT&T One X? The Other ROM install method for AT&T One X (http://tinyurl.com/c248usj) wont work because CM10.1 requires the Gapps and boot.img correct? Only reason I am asking is most post specify AT&T vs. International and i just want to make sure i have my information correct and that being AT&T doesn’t matter for this install method.
Max please help…I m stuck on htc quite brilliantly screen…i followed your said steps..I have installed rom many times but couldn’t succeed.i think there is issue on boot.img…dont know..what should i do..i cannot install new rom….i think u get me..please reply…

Hey max, I need your help on something. After i installed the rom on my HTC, i went to the next step which is booting the image using the CMD prompt. After i keyed in the (fastboot flash boot boot.img) it went to waiting for device and I have been stuck there for ages. Can you please help me on what to do next. It would really be helpful for me.

Dude, You are Awesome.
Android journey is easy for you.
Thanks. Thanks a lot
Im having so much trouble with this. When I try to flash the boot.img it says ” error: cannot determine image filename for ‘boot.img’ “. The boot.img file is in there though, also I when I try to load a rom it just gets aborted. The only one that works is the gapps. I think the issue is that I have s-on and because I updated to sense 5 I now cannot load custom roms onto the phone. If anyone knows if this isn’t true or if there is a way around it I would really apreciate any help.
