So after flashing aosp Rom I can't seem to flash anything other than sense 3.6 roms. Why I try I get a constant booting. I'm s-on and also I've noticed the roms with kernel zip built in. The PH98IMG doesn't install on ad card. But zips flashed in recovery do. Also bootfast isn't working either, even tho phone is recognized by computer. Any help would be appreciated on this thanks in advance.

if you can't get to fastboot then you have the zip from another file on there. delete that then in order to get that certain rom to work you have to extract the roms boot.img and fastboot flash on pc.

Personally I don't know if that would help, well....actually I don't see why it wouldn't cuz the s-off process will wipe everything.. I'd say do it and flash somethin fresh, don't nandroid after.. try a sense 4 Rom fresh.. if it still doesn't go id try flashjg another aosp Rom that is known not to cause this problem your havig, then try flashing s4 again.. I'm really curious as to why this is happening.. I'm not sure if any of this would help but these are the steps I personally would take to try and trouble shoot..

Crazy is, the problem seems to be something to do with kernels. I can only flash one all others even funky kernel with install thru fastboot, but the out come is the same. Continuous booting. At this point I don't see S-_OFF will fix the problem either. I ruued twice factory reset and used Scott's ten wipe and clean installs only to in up with the same out come.

Trust me, after getting S-Off, flashing a recovery/hboot is the least of your worries. Generally, it will flash j-bear hboot so you're good. As for recovery, you do need to flash one.
Correct me if i'm wrong though.
I figured cuz I'm trying to do his steps n I was just wandering if it kinda starting fresh again u know after s-off get recovery ,root it , n go from there n the program doesn't come with an hboot so imma use a ph185.img n then flash 4ext

You shouldn't have to flash one, but once the process is complete, try rebooting into recovery to see if your custom recovery is still there, it usually is.

ok my phone is s-on on hboot 1.90.0008 and it has an unlocked bootloader with 4ext recovery.
i tryed going back to stock with ruu (videotron) but it fails
i tryed changing roms and its just stuck on a bootloop. so far i tryed 3 different roms with no luck
i dont know what to do
any help will be appreciated
thx
Make sure your RUU is properly named and put it on the root of your SD card.
Lock your bootloader by adb command "OEM LOCK" From your pc's command prompt. This will lock your bootloader (and will erase everything)
When you reboot to your bootloader, it will scan for your ph85img.zip (I think I remember thats what its called... its been a while) and it will flash the update.
Hope this helps... if not... I recommend http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1679486 this thread. Goodnight

Incorrect info by GS3G. Since you are S-On, you can't downgrade to the Gingerbread RUU. You need to have S-Off so you can downgrade to the GB RUU

Have you ever successfully ran an ICS ROM on the phone before? What ROM were you on BEFORE this happened?
Yea i had ics rom from the guy i bought it from and it worked. the 4ext recovery was also installed but idk what rom it was. i asked him like 2 hours ago ill see what he response back and tell you but if it was running a custom rom with ics i cant see why it wouldnt run another...
All i did when it was working was wipe data and dalvik then installed energy rom 8.1 then flashed the boot.img with pc

The ones I found online seem to be corrupted as I get the "sd card has been disconnected" message every time I try to put it on the SD card ( have tried 3 different SD cards and all of the ruus found here). Also some have been taken down as I guess the NFC amaze development is a ghost town now .

Is her one S-off? If not, I believe you'll need to flash the bootIMG/kernel seperately thru fastboot . I'm guessing cuz I have HTC Evo LTE and it's the sane way if you're not S-off.
If you're unfamiliar, I bet there's guides stickied in general or Q&A.
Good luck.

You Do NOT need s-off to flash any current ROM's on the one. And you don't have to flash kernels separately like on older htc phones, so don't worry about that.

Yesterday I unlocked my bootloader, got TWRP recovery, got S-OFF and rooted my phone. Is there anything else important I need to do?
I also got ext4, which i believe got rid of TWRP because now i can't find it. Which is better?
I flashed a new kernel, but it broke the wifi, there were no wifi modules so I returned to stock kernel. I'm using Flash Image GUI. Is that the best way to flash roms and kernels? Something's telling me its not.
On a related note what seems to be the best overall kernel + rom configuration? I know its opinion based but from what I've seen there's not much descriptive information on roms and kernels.
This is my first HTC device, help much appreciated.

4 ext recovery is recomended for Evo. Personaly I always flashed my kernels via recovery (same as ROM flashing but wipe cashe and dalvik only). As for ROM kernel combo, that's up to you and your phone. My best combo might not even work on your phone, so it's flashing time for you. Flash away and find what works the best

Might sound stupid but is there any instructional video for using ext4? I've never used this recovery and want to make sure I'm flashing kernels and rooms correctly.
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
I don't know about tutorials but it's easy. Before flashing just wipe everything except SD card ( you can do this twice, just to be sure there are no leftover files) and choose zip file to flash. Always flash ROM first. You can flash kernel right after the ROM but I always boot my ROM, let it settle for few minutes and then boot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik and then flash kernel. That's all there is to it. You can also fix permissions after you flash the ROM but I never did it and had no problems.

Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
First make a nandroid backup and backup your app data and such
Then you'll want to flash a Rom that boots with both hboots (1.57(58) and 1.50)
There's a bunch but I know butterz sense does work
Then put jbear 1.50 zip on the root of your sd
Rename that file pg86img.zip
Reboot to bootloader and accept the update
Reboot the phone
Now make sure you remove or rename that pg86img.zip
Now you can reboot to bootloader and verify your hboot changed
If its changed you're good to go flash jb, kk, or gb:thumbup:
