Just downloaded it a few minutes ago from DropBox. Though, it says the download was put up 20+ hours ago. Has it changed again?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] grayfoxmg1:
if you just got it than you should be fine
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Poetique:
Nope... I'm actually double screwed for the moment.

SOMETHING is going to have to get deleted from my system mount before even the stock kernel is going to work now. Whatever BM installed is causing bootloops for both itself and now for my stock kernel. Any idea, specifically, what those files might be?

Edit: ... Ok, don't ask me why because I don't know, but if at the HTC screen during bootloops you hold VOL DWN, the bootloops actually stop and the ROM loads... and occasionally reboots again, but it'll at least actually load. Weird stuff -.-
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dafunk60:
Thank you for the suggestion, I'll give that a try. I would like to humbly suggest that you provide a MD5 hash with your kernels. This would help avoid confusion regarding which is the current file and allow users to verify that their download is not corrupted. The MD5 of the Beastmode.Evita.RC5.1.FINAL.zip I downloaded from your drop box link is B1052583DBB0CCFD228DDC23900A6ACC. Thank you again for sharing your work :good:

Question

For what could be considered a "clean" install of BM, what files/folders need to be deleted from the system folder?

For example, I'm sure 99beastmode needs to be deleted, but what else? (30SweepToWake as well perhaps?)

Reason being, I want to try to flash the cleanest install of BM 5.1 that I can just to rule out any leftover files causing stability issues. As it stands, the only kernel that has been on my device since I RUUed to stock and wiped data to fix another issue has been BM 4.4, yet for whatever reason I got bootloops, incorrect frequency/voltages, and a CPU1 that wouldn't go to idle after going to 5.1 the first time.

So basically, what files/folders need to be deleted to remove all traces of previous kernels (the only one except stock in this case being BM 4.4) need to be deleted to start from as close to stock as possible?

(And yes, I know I ought to have a backup from such a point, but I like to live dangerously like that ;) .... aka my last backup is before I even flashed my ROM and I really don't want to have to go back to that point =/)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Zarboz:
I'm making a cleanup option for the installer ill pm you steps
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Poetique:
Alright. Sounds good.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skeeterdrums:
No such luck for me, still in boot loops. At this point, even my recovery isn't fixing the loops, so it looks like I'll be going back to stock for the next hour.

Is OTG available on the latest release? Currently on Viper 2.3.2 and will be receiving otg cable in a couple of days...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dafunk60:
So in the interest of testing I wiped everything on my phone, external storage included. Flashed Viper XL 2.1.2 then the OTA's 2.2.0, 2.3.0, 2.3.1, & 2.3.2. I allowed the phone to boot up completely and went through the setup. I rebooted a couple more times to make sure everything was normal which it appeared to be.

I then flashed the Beastmode.Evita.RC5.1.FINAL.zip (MD5 B1052583DBB0CCFD228DDC23900A6ACC). I kept all the defaults with a couple of exceptions, CPU Min 192, GPU 3D 400, GPU 2D 300, and disabled sweep3wake. At the second to last screen, as well as the last screen, I typed adb pull /tmp/newboot.img and received the message "/tmp/newboot.img does not exist". adb devices does show my phone is attached and in recovery. I rebooted and after 10 minutes or so of bootloops it booted successfully and Settings > About Phone indicates the kernel is beastmode v5. I took a look in Venom Tweaks and it indicated my CPU min was 384 & Max was 192. Odd I though but I just left it alone. I decided to reboot and the phone boot loops a few times but eventually boots.

I decided to reflash the Beastmode.Evita.RC5.1.FINAL.zip with the defaults except CPU Max 1.5, CPU Min 192, GPU 3D 400, GPU 2D 300, and disabled sweep3wake to see if it was the CPU Max 1.7 causing the issue. Unfortunately that does not appear to be the case. I've been bootlooping for about 5 minutes now.

None of this is intended as a complaint. Just thought it might be helpful.

Understood, thanks.

I'm stuck in boot loop, I tried a good known backup and its still in boot loop, ,,I'm frrakng out.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dechoder:
Been bootlooping for the past 15 mins or so.. managed to get into bootloader.. selected recovery but it doesn't get into recovery, it just bootloops again.. any ideas?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dafunk60:
I was able to use USB fastboot to push the recovery image to the phone. After which I was able to boot into recovery.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] FZ1Darren:
tried to install ver 5.1 over cleanrom 5 and clean kernel. wiped cache and dalvic. i chose all the default settings. i get a bootloop on initial htc screen. i noticed that the gold bar that moves up in the upper right hand corner of the bootsplash screen doesn't appear with beastmode installed.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nlsolja123:
I tried USB fast boot but it isn't working so I'm guessing the debug got unchecked during a backup restore.... I'm hoping I get a working phone on a stock form if needed
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] pdubzzle:
HELP!!!!! my phone is stuck in bootloop for the last 15 min.. I have read everything.. I can get on fastboot and Recovery. I have tried everything i know except the ABD method. Can someone please PM me some info on how to get my phone workinf again!! thank you
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dafunk60:
Boot into the boot loader (hold volume down + power with the phone off). Select fastboot. Plug in usb from phone to your computer. Use fastboot flash boot boot.img from your PC to push a new boot.img or fastboot flash recovery recovery.img to push a new recovery.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dechoder:
Ok this is what works for me.. while in a bootloop, press vol down key til you get into bootloader, then shut down the phone (very important to shut down completely here).. wait a few mins, power into bootloader again (power & vol down keys), select recovery.. it should go into recovery this time.. now hopefully you have previous versions of beastmode or any other kernels on your phone.. flash that and reboot and the phone should boot up normally
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nlsolja123:
I tried this now my SD card is wiped .... now what ?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Poetique:
In case you folks can't tell already, 5.1 is presently unstable. Flash 4.4 or wait for a fix.

You might need to relock your bootloader, and flash stock ruu and start over, unless someone knows a work around. this kernel is for 2.20 AT&T incase you flashed it on another HOX
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nlsolja123:
I was stuck in bootloop. I went into recovery and did a wipe of the cache and delvik. And I went to restore a good back up and my backup is gone. I mounted the sdcard and my pcsays its unreadable to format..... I managed to find a backup and coppiced it over but there is no way to get twrp to restore from anther location than there specified folder. SoiI did a install of viperxl 2.1.0 and still I get a boot loop ......

I have 2.20 and is locking the boot loader and run install possible with a custom ROM currently installed ?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] carl1961:
use the hasoon2000 [TOOL] HTC One X (Evita) All-In-One Toolkit V1.1 [10-28-12] [PERM ROOT][Noob-Proof]

to relock boot loader , or if you know adb

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot oem lock

and flash the

htc_one_x_RUU_2.20.502.7_att_us_08022012

locking bootloader and running stock ruu will put your phone back to original state,
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jameswei:
I was able to fix mine by re flashing recovery and boot.img using fastboot.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] carl1961:
Great that is a lot easier, Hope nlsolja123 reads this
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nlsolja123:
i tried that but all i got was a boot to thevenom bootanimation and hangs there but im trying the relock and ruu now
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] pdubzzle:
I tired relocking my bootloader via "ALL IN ONE" says it cant find my device ? I have RECOVERY showing up and and the bootloader but i cant use the all in one because it cant find my device??? help!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skeeterdrums:
Load into the bootloader, then into fastboot. After a minute, you should see "FASTBOOT USB" at the top of your screen, and your phone should register with the pc now.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] pdubzzle:
its says fastboot usb.. and still no luck.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nlsolja123:
Thanks for the help. I'm booted up on the stock 2.20 again. And starting all over ..lol. but o well. THANKZ SO MUCH for getting me back in a working phone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Zarboz:
This is due to your installer settings

every choice you make now is hard coded into the boot.img that is applied via the installer

you MUST .... i repeat MUST make choices your phone likes as the kernel will FORCE these settings regardless of system variables

SHOULD YOU CHOOSE to post a bugreport about a bootloop i expect you to pull /proc/last_kmesg from adb (if you can)

if not i expect you to flash the kernel again and adb pull /tmp/createnewboot.sh
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] paulk_:
When I had that problem, I went into the HBOOT menu, chose to shutdown, waited a few seconds after then then booted up and went to recovery
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] pdubzzle:
I have fixed my problem, and here is what I did:

I had a problem with my phone being recognized in fastboot, and it still said "fastboot usb".in bootloader. What I did was unpluged my usb then plugged it back in, lol. Then it worked, lol. I now can use the ALL IN ONE program. I then flashed an old ElementalX boot.img I had, and then I did a double back flip because it worked... lol

Thanks to all that gave mw the ideas and help .. Thanks, Thank and Thanks!!!!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Poetique:
Can't speak for everyone else, but my bootloops (among other issues) came as a result of my using tried-and-true settings that I had previously used in BM 4.4.

For whatever reason, my aroma options were either ignored or something strange happened with Venom Tweaks and I ended up with a 2.1 GHz OCed/voltage device despite the fact I have never ran more than 1.7 GHz.

Looking forward to your cleanup concoction just to be sure something isn't getting randomly tangled up with the kernel, but the whole sum of kernels that have been ran on my device since RUUing to stock are the stock kernel, BM 4.4, and BM 5.1. I havn't the slightest clue what happened with my install to lead to so many issues.

I always wipe cache -> wipe dalvik -> install kernel, in that order and use the same settings (though I flip flop between the SIO and Deadline schedulers every now and then). Yet for some reason 5.1 just ain't taking to my device too well =/
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Zarboz:
run the installer but pull this file and send it to me

/tmp/createnewboot.sh

along with

/tmp/boot.img-ramdisk.gz
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Poetique:
Should be able to get this done tomorrow after work. Gotta stop tampering to make sure I have a working device tomorrow though and get to bed now though.

For anyone still having bootloop issues on 5.1... I really don't understand how or why this works, but holding VOL DWN for about 5 seconds when it boots to the HTC screen seems to kill the bootloop and allows your ROM to load. At least that's how it's working for me anyway.

Don't hold it while the screen is black or you'll boot into the bootloader. Wait until it's on the HTC screen.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] For_itembine:
do you flash this in recovery or twrp? i am confused, i get bootloops trying to flash 4.4 in clean rom 5.1 and on NOC
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] pdubzzle:
The thing to do is flash the ElementalX boot.img or a beastmode 4.4 or lower boot.img in Fastboot, use the ALL IN ONE TOOL there is a option to flash a kernel.. This is what solved my problem from boot loops ....... hope this helps. thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] paulk_:
Been running 5.1 for the past 10 hours or so, just noticed my phone slowing down so I went to check in Kernel Tuner and found that the second core had somehow become set to pegasusq (had set both of them as intellidemand). The frequency settings of the second core also displayed as offline.

Changed the governor for the second core back to intellidemand and managed to change the max frequency for it to 1512 by moving the slider (still showed as offline after changing governors), but changing the min frequency caused Kernel Tuner to force close.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] techlogik:

Any word on new beast mode kernel being fixed? I had to switch to elementalx 3.0 last night because beast mode 4.4 started going nuts on me. Not sure what happened, phone locked up and rebooted, then upon reboot every app crashed and force closed repeatedly....strange....
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Zarboz:
Prolly just have to revert to 4.4 til I can get something to test on

Honestly I dont get why my testers have no problems but you all seem to think your doing everyone a favor by 'warning" people not to flash

Just cause your phone doesn't run it doesnt mean you should discourage anyone else from trying if they want

Tried 5.1 this morning using settings my phone has handled well before and ended up in a boot loop as well. I was able to get into the bootloader and into recovery to restore a backup and all is well.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sully00:
I installed Beastmode.evita.rc5.test2 last night and install went fine but had the same issue with the pegasusq governor instead of intellidemand and the core being offline when I opened Kernel Tuner. Changed the governor and rolled with if for the morning but it felt "sticky" and slow all the smoothness that I had experienced with the 4.4 and CleanRom 5.1 was gone, sleep2wake wasn't responding. So I just rolled it back to 4.4. Install was fine but then got a black screen. Rebooted and all is good. "pegasusq" was selected as the governor again on core 1.

Is the file I installed the 5.0 and we should be installing 5.1 labeled Beastmode Extreme Edition? I was understanding that the extreme edition was for overclocking beyond 1.7.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gilmerd:
I was not warning anyone to not install beast mode kernel, i was just informing others of what happened with my experience. ElementalX 3.0 works without a hitch and settings and voltages are sticking flawlessly. But i am in agreement, when it runs smoothly beast mode kernel seems superior in both performance and battery life...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Zarboz:
the issue lies in the actually installer not telling the mkbootimg to use the right max/min freqs when making your .img

in the installer

where it warns you

and says THESE VALUES ARE HARDCODED INTO YUOR BOOT.IMG

yeahh

that stuff
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gilmerd:

---------- Post added at 11:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:13 AM ----------

Yeah...i understand...what i do not understand is your hostility about the matter. I was in NO way trying to bad mouth the kernel or the job you guys do...i really appreciate the hard work and enjoy the results...but the attitude is not needed.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] blaz1nr:
@gilmerd. Hey man its not hostility. The issue is,no one ever uses the search functions for the thread. Or reads the OP and disclaimer when flashing. People will never understand the unbelievable stress, a dev goes through. I had perfect working roms,on my end never ever had an issue. For some reason every day like clockwork. Someone would post an issue,that has been explained. Or get angry because I couldn't solve an issue on my end,that I never have. Just a note for everyone!!!! Z doesn't make $ doing this. Devs do it for fame,haha JK. No really guys understand that problems occur in development. Crying about it or complaining only makes Devs leave. Hence the reason I now only contribute. I love building for the peeps. I'm not going to baby sit or hold hands though. This is the how it is everywhere. Remember the way you word things gives impressions you might not have meant them to.After you have wasted all other ways to solve a problem. Just take the blow and ask the thread. If you get chewed,know that you didn't look enough. DON'T GET P155Y just soldier on,and follow what info you might have gotten. :thumbup: Its also not proper to tell Devs that someone else's stuff works better. This is insulting.

@zarboz: So I've been on V5 since we last spoke last night. Thus far I have not had any additional issues with my 2.41 radio. It must have been a one time thing. I've noticed that both CPU governors have stuck to my settings since last night, so that's good. However I've also noticed that CPU1 likes to have a 384min instead of the 192 that I want it to have. my I/O has also stayed with my preferred setting instead of switching like that one time. I've also been running my phone on a global UV of -25(as compared to STOCK values), without issue. I'll probably drop to -37.5 soon. S2W is functioning properly, so no issues to report there.

@Thread: to anyone having issues with the installer, Zarboz is aware that it picks and chooses who to work for and is working on fixing it. If you want a completely stable kernel than drop back to V4.4. ANYONE running V5 is on the bleeding edge, there will be issues, so unless your phone suddenly comes alive, than check to see if others have reported your issue before jumping on here to complain. My best advice for those still wanting V5 is to leave ALL settings at their default (save perhaps the min frequency) and flash that way. I say this, because the new way the kernel is made allows OCing whenever you want. So those like me that choose 1.7ghz, can still load up KT, set-cpu, or venom tweaks and OC to 2.1 on the fly.

Guys Z is the man, he devs for us without a ****** device. That's crazy in itself.

Second, he has done all the hard work for the next release, all the source coding with all the new features is done, and Z is the man that made that happen. So what if settings through aroma don't stick right now...The man is busy with maybe his real job?

All will be fixed....

I understand flashing away cuz everything the guy has put out so far has been perfect but if your not prepared and knowledgeable on flashing and adb/fastboot and ruu...be patient!! Let the brave and knowledgeable test and report back first. I know I needed to have a working phone this week and had no time to fix it, so I waited.

Man I hate reading that phrase, "Dev does not have the device", no offense, it just has always made me laugh & nervous at the same time.

At any rate, if you install this & it goes into a bootloop, relax, wait & let it loop a few times. If you do that, there is a good chance that after two or three or four loops, it will reboot & run fine after a few. If you rush over & wipe & flash & wipe & fix & flash & wipe, you will keep repeating the viscous cycle.
