You need to fastboot boot your recovery.img
This will allow you to write the kernel to the boot partition
What you did only flashed your recovery partition, and when you rebooted to recovery, you lost the ability to flash your boot partition.

how do i boot into recovery from fastboot what is the command

You said in your OP that you entered this command thru fastboot
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
If you go to the same directory that has the recovery.img ( you did everything correct up to this point) and enter the command
fastboot boot recovery.img
Your phone will boot into a temporary session of your recovery, with the exception that it allows flashing to the boot partition.
From here you can just do your normal wipes and flash your rom and it will boot like expected.
You should check out the stickies in the dev forum to learn more about the proper flashing with 1.5 hboot

Hey no problem, I've been in your shoes. Used to being s-off and being able to flash anything I want. But it's not so bad once you get use to it.
Also, check out joeykrim's app flash image GUI: its in the market and there is also a thread in the EVO3D themes and apps forum

So I was walking my girlfriend through rooting her new Evo3D, and we couldn't get the phone to get past the 'MI' logo, so I figured it was a kernel thing. After four kernels and two versions of MIUI I realized that it wasn't the issue, it was the hboot.
She didn't back up, she has only had it since last night. I now know what I need to do to flash the ROM, but how can I get her back to stock so I can get the app needed?
Any help?
She has HBOOT 1.5, right?
Go back to the folder where you did all the rooting. Get the stock MIUI kernel (boot.img from the flashable zip) and place it in that folder. Open up a cmd and navigate to that folder.
Boot her phone into fastboot mode. (Vol down + power while the phone is off. Hit power button to select fastboot once it goes into bootloader) Plug the phone into the computer via USB
Type 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' in the kernel. If it successfully flashes, you are done! MIUI should boot up now that it has the appropriate kernel. You will need to do this for any ROM you flash.
As long as you have a recovery, just flash whatever rom you want through fastboot and the kernel will stick.
Or just download a stock rooted rom and flash that the same way you just tried to flash MIUI. It will work since you still have the original kernel.

Well, ROM's cant be flashed through fastboot. The ROM is flashed through recovery. Then you go to fastboot and flash the kernel with my guide above. After that, everything should be working fine.

Hopefully this works! Shes at church right now but I will have her do this ASAP and I'll report back!
(Awesome response time BTW)
Roms are flashed through fastboot just by loading your recovery into fastboot.
I never flash roms and kernels separately. Just go into fastboot, load your recovery, and flash as you normally would.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
I had something similar when flashing MIUI. if you boot the recovery.img from fastboot it should work. you may want to re download just in case of a bad download.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
I'm having the same problem as epicchase. have attempted to flash miui many times. at first i tried to do it through my recovery. it didn't work. then i tried to use the fast boot method and flash it from the recovery that i opened from fast boot. i'm quite frustrated. it just wont boot miui, is it the kernel, i'm new to rooting in general but i think i know what i'm doing. i have spent who knows how many hours trying everything i can. i tried flashing the boot.img and the ROM separately. I have successively flashed android revolution hd, but that's no fun, its nearly the same as the stock ROM any suggestions would be appreciated. it boots but i guess it must be a boot loop but idk all i know is it freezes in the middle of the boot animation.
ps. i am rooted using the htc official method (unfortunately) and am s-on)

Did you do a full wipe before you flashed? Find Virus's Superwipe tool (.zip), boot to recovery with fastboot, flash the superwipe.zip, then flash MIUI.

well it didn't work it did the same exact thing. I've been giving it about 10 mins to attempt to boot is that long enough? I'm new to non sense roms I've only ever used sense, is there something I'm forgetting to do that is different for non sense roms. *frustration* (and i thought i was beginning to understand this)
---------- Post added at 09:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:46 PM ----------
okay well i tried to flash cyanogenmod 7 still no dice. I must be an idiot, sorry for being a noob.
this is what im doing.
im placing the .zip on root of my sd card. then opening my cmd.
i then type " cd c:\android" (i saved the recovery image in a folder named android) it says
"c:\android" just as it should i then type "fastboot boot recovery.img"
it restarts my phone in recovery
i press install .zip from sd card then click wipe cache and dalvik cache it goes and does its work
i then select the superwipe.zip it says flash compete however it says error or something but i just kind of ignored it.
i then select my miui.zip that i got from www.miui.us
i then select install .zip files the first thing that comes up is "md5 check fail- ignoring" and the continues and flashes (i have no clue what that part means but i continue anyway)
i select reboot and it starts to boot my phone i get the white screen with green htc.
i then get the miui boot animation for anywhere from 2-5 seconds and then it freezes.
i sit and nearly just stare at it and the clock. i wait at least 5 mins but have waited up to 30 mins.
the boot animation never restarts i just freezes there making me think it is not a boot loop (however the definition of an actual bootloop is slightly vague to me.)
anyway thanks for reading and if you have any suggestions i will be very happy for now im just gonna run my android revolution hd rom.
If superwipe isn't working, fastboot to recovery, go to the wipe menu, not install a zip, wipe dalvik, cache, and factory reset. Don't do the factory reset in android, do it in recovery. I'm guessing you got a corrupt download of superwipe, I would redownload it and try it again if I were you.
Try using this one.

It's saying that you don't have sd-ext... Which is for apps to sd. So that shouldn't be the reason of your problem.

Apologies not required.
Perhaps it's a bad download. Or It could be that your phone just doesn't like the kernel, same happened to me. I couldn't run any of chads kernels at one point.

OH. There it is. You're s-on.
You have to get a Recovery and flash the rom.
Then after you flashed it, open the rom zip on a pc.
In the zip, you should see a boot.img. Move the boot.img to the folder fastboot.exe is in. Then reboot the phone to fastboot.
Then open the cmd on the computer and cd to the folder fastboot.exe is in.
Then type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" (without quotes).
Then reboot the phone normally after it finished.
See if it still turns on.

you're posting in the wrong forum my friend. This is the Evo 3D forum not Evo 4G. and please create your own thread. no need to revive such an old thread
you should flash boot.img from fastboot, the devblock error is probably because you are trying to wipe all partitions in recovery. with s-on you cant just wipe the boot partition. you have to use fastboot commands to flash the boot.img(or if your device has a recovery like 4EXT which uses smartflash)

hi sorry if this is already out there been searching for 4 hours now i went to restore my rom from 4ext and it never went to the rom it just keep loading now i seen it say system is in safe mode and to format it did that and rebooted recovery now after a hour of trying i switched to cwm recovery and now it does the same i go into it and after i format or try to install the phone reboots and trys to load but no rom is on it to do that now idk if anyone can help but please if you can guide me around this problem thank you and this is my first post and first time ever stuck
Can't tell you the exact steps, but.... If you can copy a new ROM to the sd card, can you flash that in recovery? Or, you may have to go back and flash a stock RUU via hboot and re-root. Those are a couple of emergency steps I've had to do in the past.

Are you using format all except SD card in 4ext? Cwm will not format boot or system partitions.

After weeks of reading and being scared to death of unlocking and flashing, i finally decided to give it a shot this morning. I unlocked with no problems, then flashed MROM-CM7, thats when things went downhill. I followed the instructions to a T, formatted everything, etc, got stuck at the red "M". Tried several times with no luck, tried to restore my Nandroid backup, got the flashing "android" after the red M screen. Now I have apparently screwed something else up because I cant get in to android recovery (CWM?) now. It never did show it as cwm, just android recovery. Atrix MB860 2.3.6, I am afraid it is a brick at this point. Tried to load recovery again to try to fix it, but I cant get recovery.img to flash via fastboot, just gives an error, "Cannot load", wish I had just left it alone this morning. Am I screwed or is there something else I can do/try?
fastboot?
Have you tried flashing a recovery.img file through moto-fastboot?

I was using fastboot, but in my haste, I realized I was not in the correct directory, hence the error. When things go wrong, it is always best to slow down, not speed up!
So a few days ago I got completely fed up with the stock rom and wanted to try out cyanogenmod on my HTC One X+ (the international version). I've unlocked the bootloader, rooted and have replaced the recovery with twrp v2.8.7.0. All was going well until I wiped everything (which included the os), so now I'm stuck without one. Cleverly, I made no backup to restore to. Using fastboot and adb, I've been pushing various roms and attempting to install them; the installs are apparently successful but when I try to launch the system I'm stuck on the spinning cyanogenmod logo. This seems to be a pretty common problem among everybody using custom roms and the fix for this seems to always be go and factory reset the device, wipe things etc, which I have been doing anyway each time before installing a rom. I've been doing this in circles for the last day and a half, is anybody able to help?

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Could you explain that process in a little more detail? I'm a bit of a noob.

open the rom zip file, pull out the boot.img file and fastboot flash boot boot.img
done.
The X+ cannot flash kernel's from the recovery with the rom

Thanks for this, it seems most of the guides I've been using skip this stage. The phone was working like a charm with cm10 but I was prompted to update, and now I'm stuck on the spinning boot logo again. What should I do?

I've flashed the same boot.img as previously, was this correct? I'm still on the spinning screen.

Just grab the rom from here : https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=enrc2b
And flash the boot.img manually
