Hey so i'm trying a couple rom's out and they all say to update the boot.img and every time i try do do this from the fastboot menu it says that it is out of date. i think the problem is that i have the ota update on my phone but i'm not really sure how to make it so that i can flash the boot.img from fastboot menu. any suggestions?
Check out Scotts CleanFLASH tool. Does it for you and you don't have to worry about mainvers and all that crap.

it isn't a problem if i install the boot.img after i flash the rom and i am running the rom because that is pretty much the only way i can use the cleanflash tool and the install the boot.img
Another option is to copy the boot.img file out of the PHzip file and flash it in fastboot (on your pc, not in the phone's menu). You won't have to worry about mainver issues that way either.

OK so here's my problem. In a nutshell, I was using my dude Chingys ineff. Made a backup n flashed the clean ics with its own flashable boot.img after the flash. I made a restore and tried to go back to ineff. Well clearly that's a problem without the right boot image. I flashed one I had with my fingers crossed and that wasn't the correct one. Now I can't even do a fresh install of clean ics because its boot image won't work now. Chingy is away from his PC and can't dropbox it to me. Can anyone help me with this so I can flash it without my PC (I'm at work) and restore my ineff backup? Please n thanks community! =)

boot.img is in the ROM file. Just use a zip program to open the file and it will be right there. You'll need to use ADB to push the file to your phone, can't flash a img file. Or use Scott's CleanFlash program.

Sorry, didn't see you wanted something without a computer.
Have you tried reinstalling CleanICS. It's set up to create the flashable zip file for you.
Edit: Here is a post on how to create the flashable zip file.

I don't use ineff so I don't have the boot.img file for you.
afaik all you need to do is copy the boot.img and androidinfo.txt from the rom and zip it as PH89img.zip on the root of your sd card and flash through hboot
I'm having the same issue. I was on BAMF ROM and tried to install Clean ICS. The install went fine but the fastboot failed. Said the IMG was older.. tried other roms and the only way I could get my phone to boot up was to do a clean install of the BAMF ROM.
Not trying to hijack the thread just don't get why any of the ROMs I tried all fail the fastboot IMG except for the BAMF ROMS.

From my understanding BAMF ROM must be using a newer revision number and that is why you fail. Are you flashing from HBOOT or computer using fastboot? I thought you could push an earlier file through the computer.
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.
hey all,
well i unlocked my bootloader okay.. i used the android super toolbox (.bat file) and choose to flash a recovery.img i choose the Amonra option but it installed CWM recovery instead...and now I cannot get Amonra to succussfully flash, so that I can root. Any help?!
Reboot boot loader and use fast boot to flash amon ra. I think its called recovery.img and its in the tools folder of that tool. Put it in the folder you have adb and fasboot and then while in boot loader do fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

i did
fastboot flash recovery "nameofrecovery"
i even used the CleanFLASH tool and still no luck
Make sure you're in fast boot mode and you can see in the command prompt it sent it
So go to boot loader then click on fastboot

When you did "nameofrecovery" did you put. Img at the end? "Nameofrecovery.img"

Make sure you add .img to the end of the recovery file name. I forgot once and got an error.

This is kind of wrong... I'm assuming you've CD (changed directories) to the platform-tools in order to use fastboot. With that being the case, you'll want to specify the "path of the recovery" not the "name of the recovery" + .img of course.

You are placing the recovery image in the same folder correct ? but yes that would be the correct path. I don't know why you would change name as long as you are typing it in correctly.
I always change the name to make it easier to type. Example: cwm-touch.img or recovery.img. I never leave it all crazy like "clockwork-vigor-5.5.1-recovery.img"

I got it! Go to system devices on your PC and make sure you have the drivers installed correctly. This happened to me with my nexus.

I just did it though ubuntu.... god i love linux lol thanks all for ur input
i did notice this on the hboot screen
Open DSP v10.6.0.7611.00.0919
maybe that was there before, but i just noticed it. anything in the name of S-Off!
What is the error you are getting?
The phone is in fastboot, yes? It says "fastboot usb"?
Are you using a folder named "Root" or do you just have your stuff all loose in root? I would keep it in a folder, name it whatever you like, android or something. Put everything you need in there, including the recovery zip file.
Open cmd prompt.
cd c:\android
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
That should do it. I've attached a pic of what I have in my folder which is all you need in there.
I am using TWRP 2.0 but I can't flash a new ROM. I currently have WARMTWOPOINTTHREE ROM backup, but I tried to flash a new ROM after wiping everything, and when it re-boots it just goes to the white HTC screen and then goes black and just repeats it self over and and over.
so i take the battery out and boot my back up from recovery. what do i need to do to be able to get back to installing whatever ROM i want.
i am a obviously a noob so whatever help anyone can provide will be appreciated.
i was trying to flash the ZR3D 1.2 ROM by the way.
If your phone is a gsm version try this rom:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1267131
I just installed it on my evo 3d and works smooth
no its CDMA
I would go to Cwm 4.0 for recovery had nothing but issues using the latest twrp . Worked fine for awhile then it didn't wipe right to causing weird issues . Funky things after the rom flashed .

need more info in regards to how you flashed your rom but at this point im willing to bet you have lost your Boot.IMG and also did you use GUI app from market i did this and that how i lost my Boot.IMG and if so you will have to go to your pc and exract the Boot.img from the rom you flashed and after you have exratced file go to that folder and scrooll down until you see the Boot.IMG file and you will have to copy and past it into the folder that you used when you first rooted you phone and go to the start menu and typ cmd and you will have connect your evo to usb and typ fastboot flash boot boot.img and this will it boot right up after you flash the boot.img file

Im with reaper24 on this one.
Twrp cause nothing but issues. like not backing up my data correctly and having to redownload the ROM.
Im currently using clockworkmod 4.0.1.4. Havent had any issues with it.
Also have you read everything on ZR3D thread?
QUOTE-
***SPECIAL NOTICE: This rom is not for everyone! Some users have been unable to get past the splash screen. Please be sure you have a backup ready before flashing this rom. We are aware and working on this issue.
Thank you for your patience. However, 1.6 has been confirmed booting on some devices that would not in prior versions.***

On his rom you will probably need to if still hboot 1.5 need to go to fastboot and fastboot boot recovery.img and wipe flash zero issues that method.

title says it all. I'm not sure where to find the latest boot img
help? links would be best.
The boot.img from the latest stock rom? Can't you unzip the rom and get it or use flash gui?
can't use flash gui, phone is stuck at boot.
I'll try unzipping, thanks!
I'm not too familiar with ADB stuff but you might need to use that. There's guides for that in the dev section.
Extract the kernel from the Rom you flashed. Once you have the boot image, place it in you adb tools folder or SDK and connect to pc. Open the terminal and navigate to the folder and type fastboot flash boot boot.img
Well there ya go!
werd. Ok, I'm working on it. Thank you.
You misspelled word.
You misspelled "I'm a grammar nazi.".
I couldn't resist...
Well then, shouldn't the "g" and "n" be capitalized? - "Grammar Nazi":silly:
I am a grammar Nazi, and proud of it!
I have a program called boot.IMG flasher in Original Dev that has the latest boot.IMG, modules, and will even flash it for you if stuck in bootloop or in bootloader.
