There really is no "easy" way. Follow these steps, then flash the HC ROM zip file you want. I followed the steps in the link, then flashed the HC ROM zip I wanted without booting up the stock one first. Your Flyer will be S-ON, but bootloader will be unlocked, FYI.
hi my incredible s went dead i want to recover it again but when i boot it up in hboot and chose recovery a red triangle apears and nothing happens
i know that the ruu roms can be installet via an exe file through the hboot so is there a recovery i can flash through hboot usb ?
i used revolutionary to root it not i can not get into the phone i get stuck at the htc boot screen i only need a recovery so i can revert and fix the problem
Flash a custom recovery via fastboot. Use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794638 to flash it.
thanks i hope this does the job
worked out just fine at first i tryied many different recovery images
but the thing that worked was the clockworkmod recovery image for my phone
after that i succesfuly recovered to a backed up rom
then quickly flashed 4ext and boom back in bussines
so thanks for the help hope that other guy i saw a few weeks ago with same problem sees this
For some reason I can only run stock rooted on my Rezound. I've tried both Clockwork and Amon Ra with no success. I know how to flash ROMs, this is my 6th or 7th Android phone and my 3rd HTC Android phone.
I just relocked my bootloader and flash the stock RUU to restart from scratch and start over. Still, I can't flash ROMs. I put my ROM on the sd card, boot into recovery and wipe data/cache. Then I go into the boot loader and flash the kernel. Then, I just get stuck at the HTC screen forever. It's extremely frustrating considering I'm coming from the Galaxy Nexus where I was running an ICS ROM (not the stock one) and I thought the Rezound looked cool so I picked it up. But now I'm stuck on GB.
Am I doing something wrong or missing something? When I first unlocked the phone Saturday I tried to flash an ICS ROM but got stuck at the HTC screen. Then I flashed a different one successfully but it was buggy so I flashed a GB ROM and played with that for a little bit. After that I got stuck and couldn't flash anything without getting stuck at HTC, so I flashed a stock, rooted ROM and from then on that's all I've been able to use.
Edit: So I just tried manually flash the boot.img from the PH98IMG folder by doing fastboot flash boot boot.img and it successfully flashed yet I'm STILL stuck at the HTC screen.... The method ONLY works for the stock ROM for me.

What kernel's are you flashing and what roms ? I know I have ran into trouble with the anthrax kernel with having to flash a stock GB kernel first . It seems for me at least going from GB to ICS or vice versus I have the best luck using stock kernels first. Once, the rom is loaded it has been easy to switch to custom kernels.
So maybe make sure for the GB roms your flashing the stock , unsecured kernel and for ICS the " leaked kernel " that everyone is using for a base.

I'm just flashing whatever kernel comes with the ROM. By that I mean the PH98IMG file that contains the boot.img. Or should I be actually flashing a kernel in recovery?

So your taking the boot.img out and flashing it in fastboot ? that should be fine . Otherwise , put the PH98IMG on the root of the SD card and flash the rom in recovery then reboot to the bootloader (Amon Ra) and let the PH98IMG flash the kernel then reboot phone.
Try one of the ICS ROM's that have the kernel built into the install and follow the instructions which is basically flash ROM in recovery, let it boot to bootloader, press power, vol up when asked etc.
If they offer a separate ph*.zip then it is not automatic

So I have been doing it right. I've done that many times and it hasn't worked. I'm messing around with other kernels now, I just flashed this kernel on my stock ROM and it's working, so maybe I can flash an ICS kernel on an ICS rom and everything will work. We'll see.
I installed CleanRom and the kernel it came with and it does one thing differently......... it boots to the HTC screen then after about 10 seconds it reboots back to recovery. This is driving me nuts, I can't flash ANY rom. CleanRom has never worked for me but I did manage to flash a few roms RIGHT after getting the phone on Friday.
I've only been able to successfully install BAMF Rezound Cubed 1.0.2 which is a GB ROM. I've tried to installed Ineffabilis v1.3 which is also a GB ROM but it remains stuck at the HTC screen.
I believe the only other ROM I've been able to flash successfully is Ineffabilis-Deus-v1.0.2-Odex-ICS 4.0.3 sense 3.6, which IS an ICS ROM.

I think BAMF Cubed changes/upgrades your mainver. You should get a "mainver is older" error when flashing the ph98. IMG. Is it possible that you got the error but didn't see it-looking away at the time? If so, the easiest way around the mainver issue -imo- is scott's cleanflash tool.
There are many threads about mainver issues. It may be worth checking.
Edit- I re-read the thread, I may be wrong, dunno.
CleanRom will reboot to fastboot after flashing, press power and wait a second or two to install the kernel. This won't work if you DO have the newer mainver.
Hope this was helpful.

As far as Ineffabilis GB, I haven't updated to v1.3 but I can tell you for v1.0 it stays on the white HTC screen for quite a while before booting up. Maybe you didn't wait long enough?

So does CleanROM. First boot is a lesson in patience.
I put my ROM on the sd card, boot into recovery and wipe data/cache. Then I go into the boot loader and flash the kernel. Then, I just get stuck at the HTC screen forever.

It sounds like you're missing the part where you, you know, actually flash the ROM. The kernel zip and the ROM zip are separate; the kernel (normally found in PH98IMG.zip) is flashed in hboot/fastboot, the ROM (where the zip is called whatever) from recovery. It doesn't matter which order you flash them, but if you flash an ICS kernel and you try to boot before flashing the ICS ROM, for example, you'll get stuck on that white HTC screen when trying to boot.
Many ROMs have a script built in that when you flash the ROM in recovery it will create a PH98IMG.zip and automatically reboot you to the bootloader so you can flash the kernel. It is done this way because if you put the PH98IMG.zip on your sdcard and flash that first you'll have trouble getting back into recovery to flash the ROM after. The hboot won't let you select recovery with that file on the sdcard (obviously, reboot recovery from the OS/ADB still works, but if you reboot and flash the kernel first, you have no way into recovery without removing the sd card). I usually only copy the ROM to my sdcard (not the kernel) to prevent getting locked out of recovery. Go into recovery, wipe data/cache/dalvik, install zip from SD, select the ROM (not the PH98IMG.zip kernel), then reboot into the bootloader and manually fastboot flash boot boot.img. Obviously you don't have to do it that way, that's just my usual method.
Hope this helps somewhat.

I waited like 5 minutes, I know the initial boot process usually takes longer but it usually doesn't sit at the HTC screen for a long period of time, it just seems to hang on the boot animation but I can't even make it that far.

All CleanRom does is sit at the HTC screen for about 5 or 6 seconds, then it restarts into recovery on it's own. Both the ICS and GB CleanRoms do this.

I am flashing the ROM. Most roms just put the PH98IMG then automatically take you to the bootloader to flash the kernal. I've done that, probably 10 times. Then I manually flash the kernel when required too.
Like I said, this is my 7th Android phone, 3rd of which being HTC. I've been flashing ROMs since December of 2009 when the original Droid was rooted. I'm not new to this, that's why I don't understand why I'm having such a difficult time.
Hey guys,
I cant get any ice roms to work although they seem to be installed correctly. I tried cm9 and the s4x ones. I'm on an EVO 3d gsm with s-on and revolutionary cwm. Running on leedroids rom. So when I install them I reset back to factory then install it. So far so good but after I restart I'm stuck on the HTC bootscreen.
There are several options available to you:
1. Get S-OFF (isn't required thanks to number 2 & 3)
2. Get 4Ext Recovery. It will flash the kernel when you flash the ROM.
3. flash boot.img through fastboot (fastbot flash boot boot.img)
now i just need to know where i get this infamous boot.img^^
alrighty all done thanks for the help
Dear XDA Developers,
I have an HTC Flyer 3G 32 GB device upgraded to the latest HTC HC version.
We didnt like it and wanted to explore the opportunity to rooting and flashing a custom rom.
I have done the following:
1- Unlocked the bootloader from the HTCDev.com website.
2- Flashed CWM to the device (suprisinglly still S ON).
3- Downloaded Leedroid HC V4.3.0 and flashed it to the device using recovery (still S ON).
4- worked very well. Now I thought of trying out different roms to see what suites me.
5- Downloaded Flyhigh Rom and got to recovery, wiped cache and the partition.
6- Flashed the Flyhigh rom which stated "Installation Aborted".
Now the device does not load anything, it starts with HTC logo in the beginning then it disappears and goes to a black screen.
I need some help to know what to do now, I have tried to fastboot the recovery file again, doesn't work, formatted the SD card using an SD card reader, doesn't work. tried to install from RUU but it says unable to connect with the device.
I really dont know what to do. this Flyer is my wife's daily driver and I need to fix it.
Please help.
Faisal
Wrong section, but ok. Flyhigh is a gingerbread rom, GB and HC use different bootloaders, just flash a honeycomb rom and it should work, if you want to go back to gingerbread, you have to change the bootloader, theres a guide on this forum.
Have to fastboot flash boot.IMG as well because you are not s off
