i have tried flashing the ROM and the kernel but it is still frozen. when i flash the kernel through ADB i get the following:
fastboot flash boot Kernel-Here/boot.img
sending 'boot' <2876 KB>... FAILED <status malformed <1 bytes>>
the boot.img file is fine - why is it failing?

Maybe bad kernel download? Try redownloading the kernel and flash again.

i don't think it's a bad download.. i have tried 3 different kernel files and they all give me the same error.
also i can't tell if the phone is charging or not - the orange light turns on when i plug it in and never goes to green, and the orange light continues to stay on even when i unplug it. i have to remove the battery for the light to go off.
what recovery are you using?
i have:
HBOOT-1.90.0004
ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.6
reflash recovery with hasoon's toolkit
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1493905
there's 2 options for recovery flash:
Stock
TWRP 2.0.0
which one do i need to choose?
thanks for all your help!
Is the phone in fastboot when putting in those commands?
Chuck Norris can but Walker Texas Ranger can't.
i just noticed i am getting an error: device not found
the drivers are all installed, it shows HBOOT USB PLUG on the phone, and Windows seems to be picking it up?
is fastboot the same as HBOOT? it's on the white screen that says:
*** UNLOCKED ***
RUBY PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.90.0004
eMMC-boot
[date/time]
HBOOT USB PLUG
stock
sorry, just noticed the fastboot option in the menu - selected it and did the stock recovery option. still freezing when booting up though
when you're flashing a rom what are you doing to wipe? try the utility by mike1986
Install in recovery as you would a rom

You can use it for now to flash a recovery to get your phone working, if thats the problem, just make sure to install a different recovery later when you get your phone working
I still have a feeling it may be the way ur flashing the kernel tho..? But u can clear that belief for me if u answer my question aa few posts back about if you are selecting fastboot from the menu befor u flash..?

place file on root of external sd card, boot into bootloader, it will ask if you want to update, select yes. it will do the rest

just flash a recovery via fastboot search for the guide on how to do it. your problem is then fixed.
yeah tryied fastbooting and it said it was copied over but same issue
and as for rom manager you need superuser to do that so no it wont work
Install it from the market. You may need to install busybox too. Should work

hi all
Forgot to charge my EVO 3D (CDMA) and battery completely drained. Even after using another fully charged battery my phone goes to bootloop - just shows the HTC logo and reboots again and again. Here is what I have:
hboot : 1.5 (S-ON)
radio : 1.06.00.1216
ota : 2_17.651_5
(I am using this phone in India activated on Reliance)
As the phone doesn't boot I can't access it thru adb to give command 'adb reboot bootloader'
I can get bootloader by pressing vol_down+power
When I run the 2_17.651_5 RUU (exe) from my computer while phone is on fastboot, it completes successfully without errors. But still on reboot it just stays at the htc screen and reboots (guess it's becoz stock kernel not getting flashed as the phone is s-on)
kindly help to get back my phone boot again
thanks and regards

Don't listen to the previous guy. Try using fastboot OEM lock and then ruuing. Or, try getting freezas stock kernel and extracting the boot.IMG and flashing it thru fastboot. Or, you could use fastboot flash recover recovery.IMG to get twrp or clockworkmod and do a superwipe and try flashing a new Rom. There are tons of options if you still have fastboot.

Thanx for responding. As I mentioned earlier,I have already relocked and RUU'd the exe file,but though it runs without errors doesn't solve problem. Again as it is s-on doesn't permit to flash boot.img. Though I am able to flash twrp recovery, not able to get into recovery from fastboot. Thanks again, really appreciate your help.

You don't need to relock once you unlock the HTC way. Just unlock the phone then flash via fastboot the boot.img and then ruu if you want.

thanks. extracted boot.img from freeza's kernel and flashed from fastboot after unlocking. But still doesnt solve problem. Can you give me a link for boot.img
Pleassssssse HELP !!!!!!
I have the exactly the same problem, a full reboot result in boot loop, and can not fix it by now.
I guest the phone is rooted before OTA, so OTA can not flash kernel successfully because the wrong signature, and the phone will not boot because the wrong kernel.
I have tried ruu, fastboot boot recovery.img and etc, all failed.
The key point is that, the phone is rooted and you tried OTA. HTC OTA must have a stupid bug, it can not recovery from a partial update, or automatically roll back becasuse of the partial update, dem!
Please have a look at the guide/flashing notes in my signature. If u r unlocked u are likely not entering recovery correctly.
If u are trying to flash the Ruu u have to be locked or relocked. If u cant boot to android, run the xhausx's full Ruu zip from bootloader.

You need to use the RUU 2.17 exe after you relock your phone... Then flash a copy of CWM or TWRP on it..
Then adb

Have you tried to just run the RUU like you said boot turn debug on .... Then go to hboot flash your recovery...
Then fastboot boot recovery.img.
This should work I have unrooted my phone 3 times already in the past month Trial and Error on my part adb always found my phone...
I am tryin to figure out what is going wrong on the last part with TWRP...
Since you said after you do that it was a no go? What happend ? Adb should still be working since you just flashed the recovery...
Anyways I hope you get it solved man I am tryin to figure this problem out.
Do you have a rom already ready to be flashed on your SD card?
Problem is, since i’m not able to android boot I can't reboot bootloader from adb, as I can't connect adb without the phone normal booting. When I boot it just stays at the HTC white screen.
I have flashed twrp recovery from fastboot, but when I give command 'fastboot boot <twrpxxxxx>.img it just boots back to the HTC splash screen
You can go back to complete stock if you rename the RUU file PG86IMG.zip and load onto the root of sd card. Get into bootloader with [power+volume down] and it will automatically detect and load the zip file. This can only be done if you are relocked. I did this in order to get the latest update. After you get back to stock you can unlock and root again.

As I mentioned in earlier post, have tried flashing PG86IMG.zip from bootloader, but still phone doesn't boot properly and is in a bootloop.
You've used the following file and done these exact steps and allowed the phone to boot to full stock OS? (assuming 2.17.651.5 is correct version)
OPTION 2 - RUU.zip info:
I prefer the .exe version but xHausx’s “FULL” PG86IMG_2.17.651.5.zip may work for you (must be renamed PG86IMG.zip). Make sure you have plenty of battery/charge left!

**THIS WILL RETURN YOU TO FRESH OUT OF THE BOX**
You will not need any special drivers loaded, etc...
1.Download the stock ROM ZIP image from here: and rename it "PG86IMG.zip"
2.Copy it to SD Card
3.Reboot phone into hboot mode by holding volume down and then press power.
Keep volume down held until you boot into hboot mode.
4.In hboot mode the phone will scan the SD card with the image. Once it finds it will ask you if you want to update. Press "Power" to update.
5.Wait.... For a while. When it gets to "system" it will loop a few times. Its quite nerve wracking actually but after about 5 or 6 times it will complete.
6.Once the entire flash is complete it will prompt you to "press power to reboot." Press power and your phone will reboot to 100% stock ROM.

I consider myself to be fairly resourceful, but i cannot figure out why my Evo 3D will not boot any rom. I recently wiped the phone and attempted to load the stock ICS rom. Now no matter what i do when i turn the phone on, it loads the white HTC screen with green text. and just sits there. The phone is HTC unlocked and is S-ON, its HBoot 1.5, with eMMC-boot.
I have tried loading the boot.img through fastboot, but nothing seems to work.

It is a boot.img issue.
Wipe & re-flash. Then flash boot.img through fastboot.
Do not use USB 3.0 ports or USB Hubs or Extension cables while flashing through fastboot. A USB 2.0 port at the back of the PC is recommended.

1. You need to flash the boot.img from the same ROM that you're flashing through recovery.
2. ICS rom zip? If this is the rom.zip from an RUU, then it needs to be flashed through fastboot.

I recommend getting s-off. Since you can't boot, you may need to relock the bootloader and run an ruu first. Get it to boot and then unlock. Then follow the steps of the wire trick.

Am i just SOL and can no longer access recovery?
Will Dirty Racoon help me get recovery back?. Im just now getting familiar to fastboot. Linux is a bit intimidating.

Put the phone back n bootloader like the 1st pic.
Then select Fastboot
Then connect phone to Pc
Then the Bootloader should show Fastboot USB.
Now open up the folder on your Pc that has Fastboot then open a command Window and type fastboot flash recovery what ever the recovery image name is.

You guys rock IDK why it didn't work before. but I just flashed TWRP 2.5 and it worked like a ice cold Boones on a 15 year old cheerleader.
Thanks again.
Hi, I recently got a rezound off ebay to replace a broken galaxy nexus. I'm still S-On, cause I can't find the windows software anymore to walk you through it, but I'm htcdev unlocked and rooted. I've tried to install a few different roms, and they flash fine, but trying to flash the boot.img is where I keep getting stuck. The only 2 ways I know how to do it are through fastboot and through hboot as a ph98img file.
In fastboot, the first time I try to flash it, I get a failure message. If I try it again right after, it gets stuck sending the file to the phone and I have to unplug, pop the battery out and restart.
In hboot, it goes through it's thing, then for a second when it should be flashing, it says "parsing," and then goes through the rest of it's thing and nothing happens.
Any ideas? Thanks for any help, and I'm sorry if this has been covered... I've been searching for a few days now and can't find anything similar.
If you're s-off you shouldn't need to fastboot or go through a ph98img.
I'm sorry... that shoulda said S-On. I'll edit the OP.

I find that the easiest way to flash a ROM is to do
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot recoveryname.img
Wipe
Flash ROM
Reboot
Enjoy
By booting into your custom recovery through fastboot, you are essentially in temporary "S-Off" mode so you can flash a ROM without the need to manually flash the boot.img
Of course, if you boot into recovery normally, you will need to do
fastboot flash boot boot.img
But that seems to be giving you problems.

Interesting... I'll definitely try that method. Thanks!
When I go to flash the recovery through fastboot, it's still freezing the same way it froze when I tried to flash the boot.img file. Seems I have a fastboot issue. I don't know how to begin to fix this. Any help? Thanks in advance!
Info would be greatly appreciated; please reply with all the version #'s you see in the upper left of hboot.

To me it sounds like its not allowing remote communications, may need to start using ph98img zips. :/
I am still working on LunarTools and they will be ready soon and should completely resolve the issue at hand.
