I know pulling the boot.img from the rom is the old way to do things then wiping in recovery and flashing the boot img in fastboot... Then flash the rom in recovery....
Or you could just fasboot boot recovery.img and wipe and flash the rom... without pulling the boot.img
Doesn't these two methods work just the same minus the fact that fastboot boot recovery is just quicker to flash a whole rom....
This is for the hboot 1.5 users.....
I know about flash gui im just asking about using ADB and recovery flashing.....
Either way works fine doesn't it...>< ?
Yes, booting into recovery vía fastboot allows simultaneous flashing of kernel/ROM.
You may also flash a custom kernel zip file in the same fashion.

Ya that is the advantage of using the recovery via fastboot.... But other then that they both get the job done... Minus that fastboot lets you flash the whole rom instead of taking the boot img out.... along with custom kernels....
One stop shop
There's also a app called Flash Image GUI that works pretty good...

I have a question I have not seen asked yet. Maybe someone here has more insight. My replacement 3vo came with hboot 1.5 so I unlocked using HTC's method and flashed TWRP. The nandroid I made after flashing was of the stock rom and stock kernel. Now, I have flashed MIUI and tiamat's kernel. That was a pain because recovery doesn't have permission to flash the boot partition unless you use fastboot to boot the recovery image. If I were to attempt to restore my nandroid, wouldn't it screw up the restoration due to the boot partition not being flashed?
What about when switching between an ASOP rom to Sense rom or vice versa?
Should all nandroids be restored from fastbooting a recovery image?

Just use fastboot if you have to do a nandroid you'll be ok!

Yeah, I had suspected that would be the case. I figured this would come up in the future and need to be addressed at some point. I may try to restore my sense nandroid to confirm it won't work unless you use fastboot.

From my experience i dont think u need to boot to recovery through fastboot to make a working/good nandroid backup... However when you want to restore a back up through nandroid you must boot to recovery from fastboot or else it wont wont. One thing i find strange is that i can flash the sengry nightly rom without fastboot through recovery and it works fine but i can not do it to any other roms..
Now, does booting recovery from the fastboot menu work the same as sending the commands through fastboot using pc?

Do you mean booting recovery through bootloader without using fastboot command (With the phone connected to a computer)? If yes, then it doesn't work the same... As booting to recovery with fastboot (phone connecting to computer using fastboot command) allow you to flash Roms/Custom Kernels to your boot partition and using bootloader to boot recovery without fastboot doesn't allow that. Hope this help..

Does anyone know to flash Mikrunny 1.06 on hboot 1.5 if so can you guide through it the times ive tried it hangs on the white htc screen thanks in advanced
I would assume you would flash it like any other rom. Flash kernel using Flash Image GUI or fastboot, then flash rom zip.
Gunna try it later

If you don't have the flash image gui app, just boot your phone into recovery using fasboot. From your computer, open up a command prompt, and navigate to the folder that contains your recovery.img. Then plug your phone in, adb reboot bootloader. Then it will be in fastboot. From there, type fastboot boot recovery.img (or whatever the name of your recovery.img is). Then your phone will boot to recovery and you can flash anything you want like normal. No need to flash the kernel separately or anything like that.
Aight thanks was able to flash with flash image gui thanks.
H guys, i have a quick question. How can i flash a kernel in HBOOT 1.5? I have flashed with Flash Image GUI and in Fastboot when the kernel is an image(.img), but how can i flash in fastboot if the kernel is a .zip? I'm 2.17 and i want to flash a beta version of Needle @2.1 ghz. Thanks for your help.

I'm on 4ext right now but the guys says the best is install through the pc or you will end in a bootloop. I tried with flash gui but the phone went in a bootloop as some guys said.
Make a nandroid first. Then wipe cache & davlik cache and then flash the zip.

boot recovery through fastboot using "fastboot boot <recovery name>.img" and flash the kernel.
But IMO , if that kernel didnt worked with Flash Image GUI, it will not work with "fastboot boot <recovery name>.img" either. Just try and post the results.

I have a friend and he showed me the fully working kernel on stock ROM for 2.17 @2.1 ghz!!! Quadrant rises up to 5200+ and antutu up to 8300+. I'm running meanrom right now but Idk if that matters. Also one explanation is that the kernel he gave to me was a wrong one.
From my experience I used the GUI app and thats when the problems started using that app I lost my boot.IMG and that causes the bootloop just flash the Rom the normal way and if you want to flash a different kernal you can just make sure you flash the kernal before rebooting for the first time

When flashing a rom from 4extRecovery, do you still have to use fastboot to flash the boot?
i.e. fastboot flash boot boot.img
or does the recovery do that by itself?

If you are still s on like I am you can enable smart flash and it will detect changes and flash those right when the kernel loads then reboot to finish installation. So probably not?

No everything will be done from the app/recovery without the need for a pc regardless of Hboot 1.4 or 1.5
I tried to manually update my HTC One's clockwork mod recovery using the command prompt. I downloaded the new .img file directly from the clockwork mod website. I made sure that I erased cache first. I then flashed the recovery I downloaded. The command prompt did not send the recovery and it failed to find the recovery. I could not get it to flash the new version of clockwork mod. I am trying to install android 4.4 and I need the new version of clockwork. I am going to give this phone to my father and I want him to have vanilla Android on it.
I am moderate Android modder. I have rooted several phones. I cannot get this to work the way I usually do. I am missing some step. Should I or could I flash TWRP Recovery instead of Clockwork?
Thank you for all of your help. Everyone on here has always been very helpful.

Flash a new recovery from recovery ? that's a new one on me, I remember an old UPDATE.ZIP method does that still work ?
Rom manager and root toolbox can flash a recovery I think.
the only way I have ever done it is from fastboot usb
fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
fastboot erase cache
or
fastboot flash recovery CWMT.img
fastboot erase cache
just make sure the TWRP.img or CWMT.img are in the same directory as fastboot

If that doesn't work and you can't delete the recovery with fastboot erase recovery.
If you are soff find the 4.1.2 ruu exe and install it over. It'll fix the partitions and nuke recovery on its way by.
