I am attempting to flash from Scott's CleanRom ICS version 2.1 back to the stock CleanRom version 1.5 and after wiping and flashing the phone boots to the HTC screen and then just sits on the half back-lit screen and doesn't fully boot. I am assuming this might just be a boot.img issue but if so I am not sure how to fix it? Could someone please fill me in on what the issue is and how I can fix it? Thanks so much.

You have to reflash the kernel. It's in the ROM zip file. Look for boot.img.
Grab your PC and plug in
flash the boot.img file like this in DOS "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
Thank you! Do I do this after flashing the rom or before?

use scott's cleanflash to flash boot.img first then go to recovery and flash the rom.
as far as i know, the rom should be in the sdcard before flashing the boot.img.

So I recently flashed to aospish_jk2_v1.0. Works just fine. But I wanna goof around with some other roms. But when I try to flash to other roms or my previous stock backup, it goes into the recovery flashing screen for about 2 seconds. Then the phone restarts and I'm in recovery. When I reboot the phone I'm still on the same rom..what should I do? Try to use odin to flash another rom?

are you flashing though the clock work recovery? Is the recovery letters blue or green?
I've found the best way to go between roms is always Odin back to stock, then install the new rom. That seems to prevent most problems.

I used rom manager to flash. But when in recovery letters are blue and it says android system recovery. So I'm assuming clockwork recovery actually hasn't installed?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
You need to open rom manager and flash the CW recovery... from rom manager then click on flash to CWR... it will take you to stock recovery, click on reinstall packages.
now you are at CWR and can flash new rom.
Ah. My problem was that I never flashed ce recovery properly. Thanks guys.

im having the same problem and i am flashing through cwr dont know how to fix this please help
hey everyone. so my question is about the flash image gui. if I flash a kernel through it and reboot recovery, am I able to wipe the rom using superwipe right then and there? or do I have to reboot recovery again to make the kernel stick so superwipe doesn't touch it before flashing the rom. pretty sure that's clear. but if not let me know. thanks for everyone who looks and helps!
When using flash image GUI to flash a kernel. You don't need to go into recovery at all afterwards. Should be good. When installing a ROM with a custom kernel flash superwipe script then flash ROM in recovery boot phone then flash kernel VIA image GUI. Then test your wifi, 4g, data, calling etc.
sent from America...F__k Yeah!
Actually you had it right the first time. You flash the kernel first, reboot into recovery, wipe then flash the rom. Wiping won't touch the kernel you just flashed.

You should change this post as you could cause problems for people. If someone is changing from sense rom to an AOSP rom, or vise versa, you definitely want to flash kernel first with flash image gui.

Because of s-on I don't think that the superwipe script can affect the boot partition of the phone so your good with what you say OP.

Oh! Thats weird because thats how I have been doing it. Everything works for me. I been on just about all ROMS out there...from ICS to sense 3.5 and now the lastest firmware running imbredded ROM. Only once I had a problem with a kernel when I updated to latest OTA using my method above. I then used flash image gui to flash the stock kernel (boot.img) and everything worked fine after.
thanks everyone for answering! I was pretty sure the superwipe wasnt able to erase the kernel being 1.5, just wanted to have some clarification
I need help, I have been trying this for 2 days now
to start, I set my phone back to stock
Unlocked with the HTC Dev method
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (twrp)
install superuser from zip
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
modified superwipe
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
install viperROM from zip
reboot
Cannot get past the HTC boot screen
can anyone help me?
I have been able to root in the past, I had rooted to ics-deck a few months ago and have rooted to other Gingerbread ROMs but have not been able to get any of the new ICS roms to work for me since the leak.
Here is how i fixed that problem
First, download flash image GUI from the market. Go into the app and hit flash kernel. Then browse your SD card for the VIPERrom IC3D zip and flash the kernel from it. The app will tell you the zip file is too big to just be a kernel but it will say that if the file is a Rom that it will find the kernel and flash only the kernel. The it will give you the option to reboot into recovery. Then reboot in recover, and I used TWRP. Flash the VIPERrom IC3D zip. I had the same problem ad I learned to do this before with a gingerbread rom. I guess it is because the VIPERrom is not compatible with the gingerbread kernel so it refuses to boot. Trust me, this should work it did for me.
I have almost the same problem - I Installed the viperROM IC3D Beta 3 and everything appeared to be fine. The phone keeps rebooting into the viper Splash Screen and then reboots continuously - it won't stop. I tried pulling the battery after about 6 reboots - still doing it - HELP!
check my sig.. link to my devhost.. kernels uploaded there.. if u need them..
I also flashed this rom and it just keeps rebooting, can someone help me out pls?

You do realize that none of these people have enough posts to post in the dev thread, right? As for the other posters, most people who are 1.50 S-ON have troubles because of the kernel. Flashing Chad's kernel is the only way I know that works, but even that doesn't always work.
Then message Vince or il duce, they will answer

My wife and I both have rezounds and I've decided to flash countershrike 2.4. Both are unlocked and amon-ra 3.15 flashed. When I loaded countershrike on mine the first time, it never got past the first boot animation (waited for well over an hour). Eventually, after flashing an AOKP rom, then flashing countershrike again, it finally came up.
On my wife's, I cannot find any combination of steps that gets past the initial boot animation. I have tried re-flashing multiple times, wiping data, cache, dalvik cache and system and nothing works. I tried flashing the AOKP ROM as well and it was stuck on the first boot animation as well.
I'm pretty much at a total loss as to what steps to take next.
Are you s-on or s-off?

doesn't sound crazy at all. I've done it both ways... letting it pick up the PH***.zip file and flashing the boot.img manually.

Using "fastboot flash boot boot.img"? That's weird.. With a clean install and boot being flashed it should boot up without any problems. Haven't ever experienced that before.

Have you tried redownloading the rom? Also you could try using TWRP recovery or the updated CWM recovery, and see if those work.

I haven't tried redownloading, but I did verify the MD5, so I got the whole file. I haven't tried other recoveries, so I'll give that a shot this evening. The same recovery and rom downloads worked successfully on my phone, though.
You might want to try an earlier version of the kernel. I've had good luck w/ 1.7rc1 and Countershrike, which you can find the download link for in prdog's post here (post #1460)...

Is the kernel flashing successfully? I had issues with a test version of the PH98IMG I had made early on having a parsing error in hboot. I haven't heard of it as an issue in a release version, but I want to make sure it didn't creep in.

This is my first time flashing a ROM, so how would I check to see if the kernel flashed correctly?

I'm going to try again this evening... want to verify the steps I need to take. Is the following correct?
Unlock device
Flash custom recovery (maybe try TWRP this time?)
Copy ROM zip to sdcard
Reboot into recovery
Wipe data
wipe cache
wipe dalvik-cache
wipe system
Flash ROM zip
Flash gapps zip
Reboot into bootloader
Flash boot.img
Reboot
When you flash the ROM, select the S-ON option and it should put a PH98IMG.zip on your SD card. When you reboot into the bootloader it will be in fastboot mode. Press the power button to select the BOOTLOADER option and it will go into the bootloader section where it should pick up the PH98IMG and offer you the option to flash it. Press VolUp and it should flash it.

Why
trying to get the cubed kernel working with the codis rom on my dna but every time i flash the kernel my wifi dies. also cant get the swipe to wake working. what kernel version does it say you have in the software menu in settings?
You have to flash the modules too. Fastboot flash the kernel, then flash the modules in recovery. Also you should read the cubed kernel thread, all of these answers could have been found there.

i put the phone in fastboot and do the whole fastboot flash boot boot.img thing.
then i reboot recovery and flash the modules.

delete any boot.img file you may have in the folder with fastboot.exe. then paste the extracted boot.img from the 2.4.2cubed.zip you downloaded. also place those modules on your sd card
then fastboot flash boot boot.img
reboot to recovery and flash those modules
My guess is that the boot.img you have in the folder with fastboot.exe is the cued stock kernel ... could be a possibility that this could happen lol
just trying to help knock out all possible ways
i had the same thought earlier and thought i may have mixed up the boot.img. so i re downloaded the stock and the cubed kernel zips and re did all of it. still getting the same issue. do i have to wipe data you think? or factory reset?

Here try this app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086361
Download the kernel to your phone, extract it, flash the boot.img through the app, then reboot to recovery to flash the modules.
