As you guys know, we can't flash boot images directly from Recovery. This makes restoring nandroid backups more difficult.
Well, not anymore. This flashable allows you to restore the boot image from a nandroid backup directly from recovery. For those of you who are experts, this duplicates the functionality of "fastboot boot recovery.img" in a self-contained zip.
To Use:
1) Flash the attached zip file
2) Press Volume UP when prompted at HBOOT
3) Reboot the Device (it will probably ask you to press power to do so)
NOTE: If the device doesn't reboot on its own, reboot "normally" not into recovery. It will take you to recovery automatically. If you go into recovery via the HBOOT menus, you still won't be allowed to restore boot images.
4) Restore your nandroid and with its boot image. It will flash this time
5) Done.
How it works:
1. Dumps your recovery image
2. Zips it into a viable PH98IMG.zip and drops it on your SD card
3. Downgrades your main version
4. Reboots to HBOOT so you can flash it
5. You then boot into unprotected recovery.

Good to get a confirmation that it works.
So we use this any time we restore a nand correct?
yep. It just allows Recovery to flash the boot image, but it is temporary.
Curious. Could this be used on a fresh install as well?

Yeah but it offers no benefit or extra ease. The way we install custom roms right now is the ideal way.
con247 thank you so much for this. I fastboot flash everything from the computer. But two guys that I help out on gtalk on a regular basis had a bunch of trouble with the PH98 process, but aren't able to use fastboot on their computers while at work.
Both guys have been using this rom very heavily going back and fourth between ICS and gingerbread, and both have confirmed this is very easy for noobs compared to the fear they have of ADB, fastboot.exe, and the cmd line.
Thanks again. You are an incredible asset to the Rezound and Android community.
Nice work

I used this quite a bit the other night , after I ran the RUU before I found out restoring old backups was a bad idea LOL. Still worked flawlessly though , so this tool has been invaluable to me ! I started making backups again
I can't restore any backups. I'm using the latest amonra. It just says oops check recovery log. I tried doing it regular and with this but they both failed and I had to use the ruu to recover each time. I don't understand what the problem is.

It might be related to using the Amon Ra 3.14 and trying to backup android secure. Dres, just released a fix because the Devblock location changed so it borked making or restoring backups that contained android secure. Sorry , if this wasn't helpful , but I realized my backups worked because I never backup android secure. Just figure it might save you a lot of debugging when its probably on the recovery this time not the app.

I had problems with the backup also. It completed the backup, but couldn't backup my cache. went back to Amon Ra for now.
Same here I went back to Amon Ra as well and was able to backup everything with no issues. Looks like CWM will be coming out with a newer version for the Rezound I would hope.

I wasn't expecting too much from this version of CWM, and I'm sure it will get straightened out soon. Just happy to see options being rolled out so quickly.
Wasn't expecting too much? Kinda rude.
I have done several backups and restores, on several devices.
Sometimes it stops for a minute, I don't know why, but it always finishes.
If you have problems with it, there's still the other one. And I hear twerp will be out soon.
I'm sure koush will do an official build soon, I just like cwr and didn't wanna wait.

Just wanted to say, works fine; and I love you for this. Way to be impatient too!
Downloaded and installed. Ran my first backup. Will try flashing a ROM from zip shortly.
Worked like a charm, as always. The print on the phone is WAY too small for my old eyes, but other than that: perfect.

I didn't mean any offense. I apologize. Tried CWM again and it backed up flawlessly. Not sure what the issue was the first go around. Anyway, thank you for the release!
Mine hung during a backup as well. Going to try it again to see if the backup completes.
I've been using CWM since I began rooting so I'm glad to have this option. Thanks!
EDIT: Just ran a backup right now and worked perfectly! It was the 3rd attempt but all is good.
Any advantages of CWM vs ArA?

HTC Dumlock
HTC Dumlock is a workaround for devices with HTC's unlock that cannot flash boot from recovery. Put simply, we make backups of recovery and boot, then we flash the backup of recovery to boot. When you reboot normally, you'll be in your recovery, but since your recovery is flashed to boot, you can make changes to boot. Head on over to our website for download links and instructions.
NOTE: The Rezound does not have TWRP, so you will be using the universal version!
New v2 version scans / compares the backups of boot and recovery to help ensure that you don't run it twice and wipe out your backup of boot.
I believe I can unify all of the zips into a single one that is touchscreen based It would make it extremely easy and useful.

Con,
I hope your professor's appreciate you ! I was hoping you would simplify it.
Quick question, so reading through the website a few times. It is my understanding once this is properly set up when we make backups it will be backing up the kernel and when we restore backups we wouldn't have to reflash kernel or am I taking it to far ?
Also would our backups from Amon Ra still work or better to just delete them and just make fresh backups of current rom with TWRP recovery.
There's 2 versions, one is the universal version that works with any recovery. The other, the TWRP version, is only available for a handful of devices and that doesn't include the Rezound. I don't have a Rezound, so I can't speak for it myself, but I would imagine that your existing backups would be fine (you could read boot, just not write to it) unless you chose not to back up boot.
I believe once I rebuild it specifically for the Rezound it will clear the confusion surrounding the purpose and use of the tool.
I look forward to seeing where this goes...
This may be huge. Invaluable tool if used properly.
I wonder if this same technique would work using "fastboot boot recovery.img" instead of actually having to save / flash / restore the boot.img?

True. But I would think there would be a way to duplicate the fastboot behavior and boot from an alternate image file without requiring the use of a PC.
You can only issue fastboot commands from an external device via USB while your Rezound is in fastboot mode in the bootloader.

Sure, but this method doesn't require a computer (or other external device) for those times when you are away from a computer. You can't do the fastboot method without a second device.
The 3D had a program called Flash Image GUI. It did what we're trying to accomplish here. Interestingly enough the program "worked" but it wasn't nearly as reliable as the fastboot method

Wrong place, but try the regawed htc unlock for root
All you have to do is unlock your phone, install the latest twrp, and then install MeanROM. There is no trick to it. You can use the HTC Developer unlock or use regawmod unlock for root. I have heard that regawmod has some problems automatically loading the new hboot and you have to manually enter the bootloader but he may have that fixed now. The easiest method for you might be to go to HTCdevelopers.com, unlock using htc's method, install goomanager from the play store and use it to install the latest twrp, then download MeanROM 3.9 and install it in recovery. You are already on the new baseband and kernel since you took the update so you won't have to do anything extra when you flash MeanROM.
1. Follow this guide to get unlocked bootloader, and custom recovery: http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-4g-l...tc-evo-4g-lte-unlock-bootloadertwrp-recovery/
Note: it says its for 1.22.651.3, but it also works for your version, and when it asks you to download TWRP, download the latest version, 2.2.2.0
2. Make a backup of your current rom by going through TWRP, and select back up
3. Now you want to do a fresh install, because you will be s-on, but use the attached superwipe file to clear everything (this way you don't have to wipe everything manually, it does it for you)
Note: this wipes everything! your OS included, except for your backup
Note2: to install this, you are going to go into recovery (first get into bootloader and then use the power keys and go down to recovery) --> install --> look for the smw6180 zip file that you put on your EXTERNAL card (you can do internal card as well) --> swipe to install and you will see a process that wipes EVERYTHING, give it some time, the erasing boot part takes the longest
4. Have the rom that you want, aka meanrom downloaded, and follow these steps (choose option 1: http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-lte-all-things-root/606748-how-install-kernels-h-boot-1-15-a.html
5. Now put mean rom (the .zip file) on your external sd or internal (whichever you prefer), and then go back into recovery, and install it just like how you did super wipe
6. Reboot to system and enjoy
Note: first time launching it takes time
Note: DO NOT forget to make a backup

I use to flash the kernel via fastboot/adb but Flash Image GUI is so much easier. I download the ROM, flash the kernel via Flash Image GUI, reboot to recovery and flash the rest of the ROM and then reboot.
But I agree that you should at least know how to manually flash it via fastboot though.

Need to Restore But Getting Black Screen
Okay so my situation is similiar to the OP.
I was running CM10 then a custom sense Rom.
I made an original backup, but when I restore it I get a black screen at boot.
Typically when I flash a Rom I have to fastboot flash the boot.img which is no biggie, but there's no boot.img that I can find in the twrp backup.
Might be just as easy to flash a stock Rom, but not sure exactly where to find one. Everything I've found is rooted or custom in some way.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

The ROM I'm trying to restore is the original state of my phone. Would this be a stock ROM with a versioning date of October 28th(the day I got my phone and made the backup), current stock ROMs, or launch stock ROMs. Basically will any boot.img work from a stock ROM?
I do see the boot sector being written during the restore process. There is a boot.something.win file in the backup folder for the backup. Can this be fastbooted? I'm a bit timid to try that, but thinking it may be worth a shot...

Thanks for the quick reply, QuickWizard is very fitting. I actually got it after I finished going my own route though.
I grew a pair and went with my got and I went ahead and flashed the boot.emmc.win from the twrp backup in flashboot. It successfully got me booted and logged into the phone. That said the stock rom is so crappy...
But, I was having issues on CM10 with MHL, on a "stock rom with goodies" I was having radio issues with the latest firmawares, so now it's back to my rooted stock backup and I'm doing the HTC System OTA update... Should be interesting what happens next...
Again thank you all with the quick replies!

when you go into restore in nandriod back up you get you device id before choosing which back up. each phones different. you need to use your computer and change the device id of your old nandroid backup to the same as whatever it is for your new phone then. not the backup file name, but the first one you have to choose in recovery i believe its like "HT19Xs2694" or whatever rename that to what your new phones is
Could you explain how I go about changing the ID with the computer?

K. On your new phone create a random nandroid. By creating it you will be able to get you device I'd for that phone.I'd use a spare sd of you have one so you don't get em mixed up of not just take note and don't het em mixed up. once done pull the sd out and plug it into your computer. Open your sd card locate that nandroid folder open it (you should have to click on the device I'd then pick which bavkup) just highlight right click copy text. Then Open the nandroid folder that you want to use and go to that device I'd highlight right click paste the new name over the old.. and all should be good the device I'd should match up and begin restore pm me if you have anymore problems I'll give you my gtalk and help further.

K. On your new phone create a random nandroid. By creating it you will be able to get you device I'd for that phone.I'd use a spare sd of you have one so you don't get em mixed up of not just take note and don't het em mixed up. once done pull the sd out and plug it into your computer. Open your sd card locate that nandroid folder open it (you should have to click on the device I'd then pick which bavkup) just highlight right click copy text. Then Open the nandroid folder that you want to use and go to that device I'd highlight right click paste the new name over the old.. and all should be good the device I'd should match up and begin restore pm me if you have anymore problems I'll give you my gtalk and help further.

I had the same issue, and I RUU'd twice and reflashed amon ra twice. Amon ra didn't work either time. I switched to TWRP and now it works like a charm. No need to mess with the Device ID.

not that your wrong at all but when you say theres "no need to mess with the device id".. i say theres no need to switch recoveries if unnecessary i dont like the idea of a 'touch' recovery. this method is simple and takes all of two min if done properly

I agree. However, both are correct.
