EDIT: I am RELOCKED says on bootloader and i can't an ruu because it doesn't go thru for some reason, what can i do?

You have to follow the instructions for flashing kernels, which can be found in the dev section.

Flash cwm then try flashing a rom...

As previously stated, you can't flash kernels through recovery (the kernel is in the ROM) without going through fastboot first. Read the sticky in the dev section on flashing with hboot 1.5, its fairly simple. Happy flashing!

It just doesn't let me go past thru the htc whtie screen, i'm installing cm7 doesn't go past that screen.

If u don't get it fixed by tomorrow morning pm and I'll get u through it and running but I won't be free till about 8pm

Will do, thanks. i'm going to try to fix it tonight. Flash an RUU, at least and reroot it.

Try that and I promise u man I can get u flashing on 1.5 I do it all the time.

what I did was installed one of the ics roms then installed flash img gui and that should fix it. You can add more roms to the sd card just by booting into recovery and turning on usb toggle

So I followed the unroot your HTC unlocked evo guide, downloaded the RUU for the sprint evo 3d which I have, followed instruction and locked my phone again and now it just read the pg86img.zip, and i reboot it and it stays on the white HTC screen..... Please help thanks

RUU to stock
unlock with the HTCDEV method by following the steps here EXACTLY
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239821
download Flash Image GUI from joeykrim (you can find links in apps forum or spend the .99 and buy it from the market)
put your desired ROM in the root of your SD card (using a file explorer or connect to your PC and enable USB)
run Flash Image GUI and point it to the ROM you want
Flash the image, it will tell you the file is too big and ask if you want it to index the file to find the kernel so accept that
when it's done reboot into recovery (you should have TWRP loaded now) and immediately flash the ROM you chose to pull the kernel from (wipe per instructions)
wait patiently, reboot, enjoy
I did it this way after moving from an OG EVO that was waaaay easier to root and flash, but once you've got it unlocked, using Flash Image is super easy to turn you into a flashaholic
good luck

Take the zip off card. I had this prob. Need to open cmd and push the img to card then send to fastboot then flash img thru cmd. Also have to use this method on any custom kernel rom to get it to get past white screen.

You should not have locked the phone madplaya.
Now follow the below steps:
Download any ROM or use any ROM that you have.
Download a superwipe tool ( not necessary if you want to manually wipe everything from recovery).
Download a custom recovery.IMG (cwm/twrp).
Now root ur phone
> open the ROM.zip (that you want to flash) and copy the boot.img from it to the fastboot folder , also copy the recovery.img to fastboot folder.
> open cmd prompt
> navigate to fastboot folder
> boot phone in bootloader
>select fastboot
> connect to PC (phone should say fastboot-usb)
> type command "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
> now type "fastboot boot recovery.img" (filename maybe different)
> Phone should boot into recovery ( make sure the red LED is lit up)
> now flash the superwipe tool.zip(or wipe everything manually if you dont have the tool)
> and then flash the same ROM from which you pulled the boot.img.......
Hope this helps...........

looks too terrible. Flash ROM and Flash Kernel together won't lead wifi error
Can somebody confirm if this is working? Mine is Unlocked (HTC Method), S-ON and HBOOT 0012, I really want to OC my phone... Thanks.
LeeDroid v2.0
The only way to install custom kernel to unlocked S-ON devices is through fastboot, i.e you can't run it via recovery since it will fail to write the boot image.
Steps:
1. Copy your ROM/kernel to SD card.
2. Boot to Fastboot and connect your PC to your phone.
3. Get clockwork recovery image and push it through fastboot command, eg:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-shooteru.img
4. Phone will run the clockwork and from there you can install the zip the usual way.
Please note that you must repeat all the steps every time you install a new ROM/kernel.
Hope this helps.
as long it is boot.img it work. not the zimage.
thank you very much, it done with me......

Your problem is probably :
*You are using a ROM with a database of European (LeeDroid, Mdj....)with optimal tuning of the rom >>> an error is not compatible >>> device will not boot.
* With Hboot 0011, 0012.....You may not flash Kernel through recovery >>> It does not work >>> Updates to complete, but no change in the kernel
- In the same way if you flash the kernel via fastboot >>> You successfully changed the kernel, but will not change the kernel if you're up a different rom unless you're up a different kernel via fastboot
*** So it is best ( as I did ):
* First you must to flash a rom with the database of Asia
* Flash Custom Kernel you want ( Via Fastboot )
* Flash Custom Rom you want
- Depending on the database (in Asia or Europe), you find the bcm4329.ko to fix it Wifi
The best (easiest) way is by using this excellent Flash Image GUI app by joeykrim here .
tested with m-deejay kernel here tho. just select the zip package frm the app

*GUI its best software but not work with ASIA DEVICE (HBOOT 0011,0012). Flash Complete Full but not change Kernel ( like flash through recovery )
*With Hboot 0011 and 0012 is the only method through fastboot flash Kernel
is tested friend. mine is hboot 11 (ASIAN device)
I've just made​​:
First Download kkernel_v03_Mod_For_Asia_Device_Hboot_0011_0012 HERE
Second Extract file download
Third Copy boot.img ADB_Flash_Tool Pust to download HERE
4 Reboot Device to Boot Loader / fastboot (Dont forget check USB debugging)
5 Connect Device with PC
6 Run flash.bat file (in folder ADB_Flash_Tool)
7 Type fastboot flash boot boot.img
8 When done type fastboot reboot
But after rebooting the cell phone is no longer stays on white htc logo.
please help.
here is the tips for Working method 100%
its easy
1: download any kernel
2: extract zimage file from the kernel zip
3: once u installed any rom power of ur device and turn on in FASTBOOT MODE
4: once u go to fastboot mode connect ur usb
5: open ur folder where zimage file placed which we extracted just type the following command
fastboot boot zimage
thats it
u ll get boot successfully
then install flash image gui
and install the kernel using zip even same kernel or different u ll get ur kernel 100%
its looking tough but its the easiest and best way to install
(the method for those who got white screen)
else flash a rom using super-wipe it can also over come the problem...
all the best..

I always do this way when i was at hboot 1.49.0011. This way works everytime.
Now i am s-off downgrade to hboot 1.49.0007

My replacement has 1.5 so...

So what kinds of options do I have in Roms... I am assuming I can't flash aosp roms through twrp because it needs a different kernel?
Do i need to look for 2.3.4 roms if I wanna flash w twrp
Sent from my 3VO
You can flash whatever you want.. you just either need to use the Flash Image GUI to flash kernals before you install the rom, or boot the custom recovery image from fastboot usb which will allow full write permissions and you can install anything you want.
So i shouldn't load twrp through quickboot but instead I need to flash it again

I'd recommend CWM 4.0.1.4 instead of TWRP. I've been using CWM since the days of the CDMA Hero and I've not once had a problem with it, but recently there's been an increasing number of people having issues with TWRP not flashing things properly on hboot 1.5. obviously it's up to you what recovery you use, but if it were me, I'd go with CWM
Ok, I bet I prob can't flash it through ROM manager, huh....

CWM? no, you need to flash it through fastboot, just like TWRP. I'm not the right person to be telling you how to do that though, as I've only used fastboot once, and that was to root and flash CWM to my phone (I got lucky since my 1 month old phone came with hboot 1.3)
I had 1.4 on my old one....my replacement, sadly, does not...

Flash Image GUI works great. You can have teh rom zip on your sdcard and it will automatically pull out the kernal and flash it. When it asks you to reboot the phone, dont accept it. Manually hold down the power button to restart phone into recovery. Then you can flash your ROM. No need for computer.
Now I am having adb trouble.... when I type adb reboot bootloader it says device not recognized..... only diff is now I'm on a 4.0.3 from...?

Usb debugging checked?
yup - and foolishly i tried to nandroid - and now i cant boot regularly - it gets to the htc screen, then black w the lights on at the bottom....
go into fastboot usb and from command prompt type "fastboot boot recovery.img" (Recovery.img is the name of the custom recovery in the folder you downloaded to root your phone CWM***.IMG) Once you boot the custom recovery you can flash your rom.
Thanks...I will try that when I get home... I had been cd'ing to c-android-sdk-windows-tools and was typing:
adb reboot bootloader and then getting device not recognized
I was ultimately able to wipe and reflash my ics rom for now...since the aosp kernel was still in boot.img

At the risk of being redundant, I can use that method to flash anything, right, any ROM... Or nandroid restore... And WiFi plus 4g should work like normal?

You have to go back to Fastboot, get the boot img, place it in your fastbood folder and navigate to ist.
then do the following
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
Then Reboot the device and it should be Start.

How do i access the boot.img, when the file is in a zip? when i press it, it starts the rom, and gets stuck on "initiating swagger"
1. Download the ROM on to your PC.
2. Transfer a copy of the ROM Zip file to the phone.
3. On the PC, extract the ROM Zip file.
4. Open the extracted folder.
5. You will find the boot.IMG in the extracted folder. Using a toolkit or a command line, write the boot image to the phone while it is in bootloader mode.
6. Flash the ROM.
7. Flash any additional packages.
8. Reboot.
Edit: For adb sideload:
Follow steps 1, 3, 4, and 5, then sideload, then reboot

Open the .zip with 7zip or winrar and extract the boot.img or look in the rom thread if there is a downloadable boot.img, there's also a boot.img flasher around here in a toolkit. Don't know which one it is, didn't rooted/Unlocked yet.
Which ROM did you download?
The boot.img is either pointed out in the first post of the Custom ROM or it is in the download .zip
You need to copy the boot.img you find in the ADB/fastboot folder, then boot the X+ into the bootloader, select the fastboot option with the vol+/- and then connect the X+ with your computer.
I am not familiar with the all-in-one-toolkit but if I remember correctly you can flash it within the program.
The Insert Coin ROM and others have a kernel flasher. But I never used one of those either.
Look around a bit. Once the appropriate boot.img of the ROM you want has been flashed the ROMM will boot up.

done. Quite honestly you should read up before flashing rom's ALL the info is in this forum.
Sorry if I'm thread jacking, but is there a way to flash a kernel from in the phone itself? my PC took a dump, it'll be a few weeks till i can afford to replace it.
Great news everyone!
I saved my phone, and its now working like stock normal
The problem was that i flashed an entire zip file instead of a boot.img file, causing my phone to bootloop, after countless tries to fix this, I decided to unroot the phone with fastboot, recovery and a RUU file.
My phone is now working, thanks for helping!
Until we get S-OFF, we can't flash kernels from the phone itself.

So, sorry if i'm thread bumping, but if I want to give it a try again at flashing a rom, and try avoiding what happen last time
Are these the following step correct?
Do a backup of current rom in cwm recovery
Wipe data/factory reset 3 times in cwm recovery
Wipe cache partition in cwm recovery
Wipe dalvik cache cwm recovery
Flash the zip containing the cm10.1 zip
And can I do all this without the need of installing rom manager?
Don't forget that you need to flash the kernel separately. Because we don't have S-OFF on our device, we have to flash the kernel from a PC.
1. Extract boot.img (this is the kernel) from the ROM zip file
2. Open a cmd prompt and cd to the directory containing the extracted boot.img
3. Connect your device and reboot it to the bootloader with the command:
adb reboot bootloader
4. Flash the kernel with the commands:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
5. Reboot your device with:
fastboot reboot
You can do these steps before or after flashing the ROM but remember that you should have the android SDK platform-tools folder in your PATH before it'll work (assuming you use windows).

3. Connect your device and reboot it to the bootloader with the command:
adb reboot bootloader
4. Flash the kernel with the commands:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
5. Reboot your device with:
fastboot reboot
You can do these steps before or after flashing the ROM but remember that you should have the android SDK platform-tools folder in your PATH before it'll work (assuming you use windows).

Can't I just use the toolkit for my hox+? Hasoon2000 says you can just flash a kernel? I could be wrong though.
I believe you can, and that the way I described above is actually the way Hassoon's toolkit does the job. Just make sure the boot image is named correctly for the toolkit to pick it up, and make sure you put it in the correct folder (from memory, it's the "kernels" folder).
I use Linux, so Windows users feel free to correct me if I made any mistakes.

[Q] I've screwed myself. (Evo 4G LTE)

First off, I don't know if this is the perfect place for this thread so I apologize in advance.
I have a HTC Evo 4G LTE and I accidentally wiped everything with TWRP. It can boot to the bootloader/fastboot menus and TWRP no problem, but I can't install anything. Maybe i'm just doing everything in the wrong order. Both the SD card and the Internal SD cards have been formatted to what they're supposed to be (caused me a bit of trouble at first). My phone is set to S-On, which is a pain in the ass, because from what I understand I can't turn it off to flash a new ROM without an OS, which I don't have. Every time I attempt to install the stock ROM for my device the phone restarts when attempting to install the kernel, included in the ROM. I borrowed my friend's identical phone, rooted it and installed TWRP, created a backup, moved the backup to my phone's ext SD card and attempted to recover off of that but my TWRP can't find any of the files, but they show up just fine with the file explorer.
I've properly srewed myself. Any advice?

Since you are s-on you need to flash the rom twice.

I am new to ROM flashing, I just kind of got thrown into it, lol. Please elaborate? I'm assuming flashing is installing the rom with TWRP. I flash the rom, wipe cache/dalvik, then flash again? I'll try it then post results in a minute.
Result: Doesn't work, when it says "installing Kernel, please wait...", it stays on that message for a minute or so then the phone attempts to reboot into a nonexistant OS, effectively stopping itself so I have to restart into TWRP again with no progress made.
I think you want to let it reboot in between the two flashes. I have no idea why it makes a difference, but it does.

Some Sense ROM's include a kernel installer to help facilitate flashing while S-on. You'll need to check the ROM OP and see. Otherwise the kernel can be flashed via fastboot. For more info hit the top link in my sig.

It can't. It reboots while attempting to install the kernel then freezes because there's no OS to boot to.
Try flashing the kernel first. Extract the boot.img file from the ROM zip archive using your computer. Then, with the phone connected to the PC via USB, boot into the bootloader and go to fastboot. It should change to "fastboot USB". Then use the fastboot tool from a command prompt to verify connectivity and flash the kernel.
To verify connectivity, type fastboot devices. You should see your device's serial number of its connected properly.
To flash the kernel, type fastboot flash boot boot.img. If the boot.img file and fastboot executable are in different directories, you'll need to include the path to the file. Or just put them in the same directory.
Once you've flashed the kernel, try flashing the ROM through recovery again.

Doesn't work. I can plug my phone in all I want but it will never change to fastboot usb. It stays in fastboot just fine and I can still boot TWRP, but there's no fastboot usb. I've reinstalled drivers and tried 32 bit LiveCD ubuntu. I may need to install firmware on this stupid phone.
From the main bootloader screen, you're pressing the power button on fastboot to go into fastboot, right? And from there you can never get it to go to fastboot USB?

If you're on the old partition layout have you followed my guide that I posted previously and tried to install MeanBean ROM?

Yes, that was the case.
HOWEVER, I screwed up again. I reinstalled Ubunto on my laptop and now fastboot usb works just fine.
Sometimes it hurts to live. Now I just need to find out how to flash with fastboot on ubuntu.

Progress.
To get the fastboot binaries on Ubuntu, you can either download and install the Android SDK and install the platform tools or go download DirtyRacun from unlimited.io. The binaries are included in the .tar archive. You may need to use the chmod command on the fastboot and adb binaries to add permissions to execute the binaries.
Once you have the binaries executable, the commands are the same, except you'll have to elevate with sudo. So, assuming you're working in the directory where you have the fastboot executable and the boot.img file, the commands would be:
sudo ./fastboot devices
sudo ./fastboot flash boot boot.img

This is what happens. My phone just sits there, the screen doesn't change, but it does say Fastboot USB. I restarted my phone but it got stuck at the dev boot screen with legal warnings in red text.
Addition: Booted to recovery to flash the ROM zip, not just the boot image, still restarts when attempting to install the Kernel.
The screen on your phone won't change when flashing the kernel with fastboot. After flashing it, press the power button on Fastboot to go back to the main bootloader screen and go to recovery to get into TWRP. From there, flash the .zip of the ROM that you pulled boot.img from like you normally would from TWRP (Install, select .zip, wipe cache/data, etc).

I just did this, and the phone gets stuck at the dev boot screen that says HTC with the red legal text.
Have you tried a different ROM? Maybe try CM or Viper 4G. If you go the Viper 4G route, try this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2124391
I think the newest Viper 4G changes the partition layout or something, so I think that would just further complicate things at the moment.

Yeah, I think I'll try cyanogenmod or stock android. Thank you for the suggestion, now i'll go see if it works.
No problem. If you decide to go the CM route, deck's CM11 is pretty great.

I went on with installing DirtyRacun (http://unlimited.io/jewel.htm) and made it to step 12. As my phone ws rebooting it once again got stuck at that HTC red text dev warning screen. So now i'm stuck again.

I didn't use DirtyRacun to S-OFF (I used RumRunner), so I can't speak on this with much authority. Just to confirm I understand correctly, though, you flashed the RUU (step 9), rebooted into the bootloader (step 10), and re-did the HTC Dev Unlock (step 11). Then, as it's booting up into the ROM installed via the RUU, it gets stuck?
Were you able to get anywhere with flashing Cyanogenmod? Or did you just decide to go through the S-OFF process instead?

Phone wont completely boot, recovery will not wipe everything, etc

So I fell asleep, woke up, and noticed that the system ui had crashed. Rebooted my phone and the boot animation kept going and going. Pulled battery and went into recovery (4EXT Recovery). Wiped cache+dalvik. Rebooted. Same boot animation issue. Went into recovery again. Wiped cache+dalvik. Attempted to dirty flash the rom again (Villuminati CM11). It was taking an unusually long time and the last line said "installing update" or "unpacking update". Something like that. Took the risk and pulled the battery and turned it on normally. Stuck at boot animation again. Rebooted into recovery. Wiped everything except SD card. Stuck at formatting /system and /data. Rebooted into recovery again. Proceeded to wipe everything one by one. Cache and Dalvik wiped normally. Next up was /system. Stuck at formatting /system. Gave up. Came here. Please help
HTC Evo 3D CDMA (Virgin Mobile)
ROM: Villuminati CM11
hboot: 1.50.50
4EXT Recovery
Try a different recovery, pg86img.zip. also look up linux terminal commands to check and repair filesystem, can be done from recovery or adb shell.

Tried flashing a different recovery and rebooted into recovery, it's still using 4EXT. I even erased recovery using "fastboot erase recovery" and then flashed TWRP again, still loads up 4EXT. I did the repair filesystem within 4ext. I'm using Windows. I don't know what else to do and I'm stuck without a phone for now.

Use fastboot to boot recovery
Download recovery img to computer
then
fastboot boot recovery.img
recovery.img = recovery img file
best to have in same directory as fastboot.exe
Are you s-off?
