So I made a toolkit for 3 HTC phones. You can see them in my signature. Would you guys / girls be interested in using a toolkit for an All-In-One use. If so, please let me know and I can work on it and probably have it up by tonight. Thanks!

Just a question though. With flashing kernels, you have to flash it via recovery and then bootloader? For the Amaze / Sensation / Vivd, we can flash it just through the computer. I am trying to get a better idea so I can make the tollkit correct.

Pretty sure it's only bootloader for the kernel or fastboot for just the boot.img. Can't flash them through recovery, I don't think.
I am trying to find the boot.img for the kernels. If I can't find them, then I am done with the toolkit. If I can find them, then I can add it to the toolkit. I only found the flashable zip.

Correct. Modules for the kernel can be flashed in recovery, but the actual boot.img must be flashed in hboot.

Yes, and then in that PHzip file is the boot.img which can also be flashed on its own in fastboot if pulled out of the PHzip file.
Sometimes that is the preferred method since the phones and kernels are not always on the same mainver and if the text file included in the PHzip file has a different mainver than the phone it is being flashed to there will be an error. The error can be fixed by editing the mainver in the text file before flashing it, but flashing in fastboot avoids the error.
Some ICS ROM's brought people's mainver up to 3.x. Original stock was at 1.x and with the OTA stock is now 2.x. I believe most ROMs are on 2.x but there is a good number of people whose phones got updated to the 3.x version.
I can have the modules flash when the phone is on. That is how we flash the modules and can I just flash the boot.img via fastboot instead of the PH98IMG.zip?
Remember, I don't have the phone so I can't test it, so please bare with me lol.

I think so, but some people seem to be uncomfortable using fastboot. But using this tool it seems it won't be as daunting since they won't have to use the cmd prompt on the pc, right? How would it work?

If you have s-off then you should either use rom manager or use fastboot

He's not talking about just the CWR .img file I don't believe. It sounds like he wants a zip of CWR that he can flash via hboot like a radio which would install recovery. I'm not even completely sure that's possible.

It's not. Have to use fastboot. However, if you go to the link site, it has rom manager there as well, which will flash recovery for you...
If that's not good enough, then he's just being overly difficult.
Actually the recovery image was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks everyone

Hmm, actually it is possible (with engr hboot anyway). I just made one in about 2 minutes and tested and it seems to work fine. Flashed CWR from bootloader like a champ.
I'll put it up (if anyone happens to need it for whatever reason) when I get home.
Edit:
Eh, went ahead and uploaded it. Just put on sd, change name, and reboot to hboot like flashing a radio. You should then have ClockworkMod Recovery installed. If anyone feels like trying it, let me know how it goes.
This means one should be able to edit the custom upgrade firmware used in the original tutorial to include this and cut out a few post-rooting steps. It *should* give you CWR immediately after going through the tutorial without requiring RM. I haven't tested that part yet but the reasoning seems sound.
Edit2:
This is ClockworkMod Recovery 3.1.0.2 (latest for mecha at time of posting) btw.
Evo3d had same s-on, place your recovery image in your same folder as fastboot and adb and do: fastboot boot recovery.img(assuming you renamed your amon ra to recovery) and flash anything. I think even radios but dont know that one for sure.
Link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239821
1) I don't think belongs in development. 2) You cannot flash radios with S-ON. 3) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419587 4) Not really any new or useful information.
I understand there are other way to do this but you can just flash a single zip in the phones recovery this way. then a dev can do roms including a costum kernel and flash as one. Like normal. Not to mention devs make one package. Just seems so much easier to me.

If the devs could do this on the Rezound where you can install everything using one zip they would be doing so.
I suspect the largest reason this hasn't happened is the lack of s-off devices in developers hands to build with.

The drawback is it requires fastboot. that is hard for some people. I use this type of stuff myself, but I make easy tools for people anyway.

There IS a way of installing kernels with a single zip on the Rezound... DSB did that with his kernel for the Rezound on rootzwiki. It basically still is two steps, but simplified into one zip and a script that automatically reboots to the bootloader and installs the boot.img from there.

That is not the way to do it. It uses a hardcoded boot image which is BAD.
Con, I've seen the automated script you made and that's cool. I just wanted to add what we had done with the 3d. But certainly appreciate your work.

I understand that. I prefer using fastboot and the methods you have described. But a hardcoded boot.img is not good for people with custom roms... if a rom needs a customized boot image and you flash dsb's kernel, you might have a bootloop on your hands.
Thread reported, this is ridiculous. How can you not understand not to post in development?

You can flash roms using a computer with no issues lol using fastboot boot recovery.img in hboot with ADB.. You have to put a copy of your recovery.img in your adb folder for this method to work not hard at all.
You can use flash GUI to flash kernels and flash the rom in recovery .... You may wanna read up on the guy that made the app he has instructions...
I have used the app in the past not a bad thing to have... Tho I prefer using the computer always a one stop shop for me

Just download from the market the Flash GUI app and you can flash any boot.img (kernel) first and then flash the ROM and you should be all set.
Yes, if you travel alot then Flash Image GUI would be for you.
the pg86100 is the htc evo 3d if i am not mistaken and i have one and have hboot 1.5 also, i see you have boot manager listed as one of your apps. you can use this app as well with hboot 1.5 and still flash your heart away just make sure you unlock the bootloader via HTC's method and have root access and youll be good to go
Thanks guys, another question, whats the best recovery for hboot 1.5?
thats is all what you like to use... i personally use the clockworkmod recovery version 4.0.1.4

I'll be honest, I don't really believe you, since if you did you'd see even in the past few threads below this one you'd see you need to be on ICS to use an ICS rom.
Here's what you'll need to do and maybe a few things NOT to do, you'll have to do your own leg work though.
1. Update your device to the latest ICS via hboot using a stock ICS ruu file which can be found in the dev section
2. Re-Unlock your device, reinstall a custom recovery and/or root if you want to, all these can be done using Hasoon's tool, found in the dev section as well.
2. Follow the basic instructions of the rom dev of whichever rom you choose to install
Don'ts
You don't need to rename rom files, do read what the dev is specifying you have to rename, if there is anything to be renamed.

Why? Because I like having true info on that screen so I know what settings are there.
You can always flash the bootloader again in the future if you need to "make it look stock again" if you need to have the unit returned or something.
I just wanted to remove that splash screen disclaimer since we can now set our own splash screen images.
