When flashing a rom from 4extRecovery, do you still have to use fastboot to flash the boot?
i.e. fastboot flash boot boot.img
or does the recovery do that by itself?

If you are still s on like I am you can enable smart flash and it will detect changes and flash those right when the kernel loads then reboot to finish installation. So probably not?

No everything will be done from the app/recovery without the need for a pc regardless of Hboot 1.4 or 1.5

I know pulling the boot.img from the rom is the old way to do things then wiping in recovery and flashing the boot img in fastboot... Then flash the rom in recovery....
Or you could just fasboot boot recovery.img and wipe and flash the rom... without pulling the boot.img
Doesn't these two methods work just the same minus the fact that fastboot boot recovery is just quicker to flash a whole rom....
This is for the hboot 1.5 users.....
I know about flash gui im just asking about using ADB and recovery flashing.....
Either way works fine doesn't it...>< ?
Yes, booting into recovery vía fastboot allows simultaneous flashing of kernel/ROM.
You may also flash a custom kernel zip file in the same fashion.

Ya that is the advantage of using the recovery via fastboot.... But other then that they both get the job done... Minus that fastboot lets you flash the whole rom instead of taking the boot img out.... along with custom kernels....

There's also a app called Flash Image GUI that works pretty good...
H guys, i have a quick question. How can i flash a kernel in HBOOT 1.5? I have flashed with Flash Image GUI and in Fastboot when the kernel is an image(.img), but how can i flash in fastboot if the kernel is a .zip? I'm 2.17 and i want to flash a beta version of Needle @2.1 ghz. Thanks for your help.

I'm on 4ext right now but the guys says the best is install through the pc or you will end in a bootloop. I tried with flash gui but the phone went in a bootloop as some guys said.
Make a nandroid first. Then wipe cache & davlik cache and then flash the zip.

boot recovery through fastboot using "fastboot boot <recovery name>.img" and flash the kernel.
But IMO , if that kernel didnt worked with Flash Image GUI, it will not work with "fastboot boot <recovery name>.img" either. Just try and post the results.

I have a friend and he showed me the fully working kernel on stock ROM for 2.17 @2.1 ghz!!! Quadrant rises up to 5200+ and antutu up to 8300+. I'm running meanrom right now but Idk if that matters. Also one explanation is that the kernel he gave to me was a wrong one.
From my experience I used the GUI app and thats when the problems started using that app I lost my boot.IMG and that causes the bootloop just flash the Rom the normal way and if you want to flash a different kernal you can just make sure you flash the kernal before rebooting for the first time

Can anyone guide me the way how to flash via fastboot.I'm confused.Guide me steps by steps,what should i do...Does it needs any software or etc..I've root the device & wanted to flash the roms.I did flash the roms.right after flash he rom,i had to extract the boot.img from the ROM.zip and flash it via fastboot.."fasboot flash boot boot.img"
This part i'm confused at..Pls help me ..Thanks in advanced..
If you have acheived S-Off via HTCDev, you will need to extract the boot.img from the ROM.zip and flash it via fastboot
"fasboot flash boot boot.img"
If you don't have good experience in flashing, I'd be very careful, you can easily brick it. There is nothing wrong with staying on a stock ROM, I find the stock to be stable and fast.
there is also nothing wrong with reading up and learning. a simple google search of adb and fastboot commands will give you something to work off of
...and when you're confident in proceeding... be careful with your spelling.
"fasboot flash boot boot.img" - No
"fastboot flash boot boot.img" - Yes

Put TWRP back on. Go into recovery. Keep connected to PC. Transfer a sense ROM and flash it. Assuming you're S-ON: flash MeanBean. Or flash a different sense ROM that has an S-ON installer. Or fastboot flash boot boot.img when you install.

Unlock the bootloader again, first of all.
Delete your current recovery.img.
Re-download your recovery.
fastboot erase cache
install your recovery again
fastboot erase cache
boot into recovery
when connected you should be able to transfer files from PC to phone.
Otherwise you might need to use USB-OTG I think.
wipe data, cache, delvik/cache, system
Install the ROM.
reboot to bootloader
pull boot.img out of your ROM download
fastboot flash boot boot.img
reboot to system.

Hi,
I have the problem with kernel, I'am using ViMiRo rom with dediacated kernel by mikhei777, but each time after phone reboot the old one kernel (nexus prime) is restored. So, each time after reboot I need to instal new kernel. I am doing that via fastboot.
What can be the reason, what to do?
Maybe wrong fastboot command ??
use - fastboot flash boot boot.img
don't use - fastboot boot boot.img
