Hey, If you are S-ON you have to do one step more. Go as to my sequence.
I assume you have already downloaded fastboot, drivers and android in your pc. And your phone is bootloader unlocked via HTC dev method and rooted, CWM installed. So ..
You need these : SuperWipe (To wipe data) , A Custom ROM ( I suggest Mwakious Demcritous 3D v7.0) / Put these to your sdcard root and Get a copy of these on your PC hard drive too.
1. First go to your recovery menu ( Here its CWM) and select Install from zip file.
2. Select the SuperWipe.zip and click OK, this wipes all your data.
3. Now again select install update from Zip file on recovery . Select the Custom ROM zip file from the sdcard and click install.
4. Then youll see its getting installed. Once its done select turn off your Phone from recovery menu.
5. BOOT IN TO BOOTLOADER Menu now. (Holding vol down + power) , DO NOT TURN ON YOUR PHONE OR YOU'LL get STUCKED in BOOT LOOP
6. Connect the phone to the PC, then bootloader menu will say --> Connected via USB
8. Now unzip the same ROM file youve got in your Hard Drive. Once done find a file called "boot.img" inside that unzipped folder.
9. Now open up a cmd, go to you android tools location (eg: C:/>Program Files/Android)
10. Type > fastboot devices ( If this shows some result which makes any sense proceed to step 11)
11. Now type the below command on the CMD.
"fastboot flash boot C:\<Location you've extracted the zip>\Mwakious3DRom.v.7.0\boot.img"
12.If the result says DONE, you are good to go.
13. Turn off the phone and On it now
14. You should be logged in without a problem, guaranteed !!! Otherwise let me know
Thanks

How to flash a ROM + Kernel avoiding mainver errors
Detailed Step by step
*uses fastboot*
Hey I'm just writing this in case it helps someone.
I came from a non smartphone and had to figure out how this android thing goes with no experience, others coming from other android phones i guess it works differently for each phone... so yeah on with the how to.
1. Must be HTC Dev unlocked
2. Must be rooted (download Amon ra) go to Developer Menu and install super user
3. Download ROM and the kernel either PH98IMG.zip or its included in your ROM
4. If your kernel is included in your ROM or if it is separate go into the ROM/PH98IMG and navigate to boot.img
5. Copy boot.img to the root of your computer
5 1/2 If your kernel is packaged in the ROM delete it from the ROM zip... the boot.img is all you need.
6. Place ROM on sdcard of phone (sdcard2 or ext-sd)
7. Go to your Recovery then Wipe - factory reset and system
8. In your Recovery - Install zip from sd - go to where you put it and select it and let it do its thing.
9. Once that's done go to developer menu and reboot to bootloader have it reboot then go to fastboot
10. Plug your phone into your computer and on your phone it should say fastboot usb in red
11. on your computer enter cmd in the run box
12. Go to where your fastboot/adb stuff is mine is c:\AndroidRez yours is probably c:\program files\android\android-sdk\platform-tools
if your know where your fastboot stuff is navigate there and skip this if you dont this will probably work
type
cd\ then hit enter
cd program files\android\android-sdk\platform-tools then hit enter
13. Type fastboot flash boot c:\boot.img
14. Wait a second then reboot your phone and your golden
I hope this helps anyone. If this should be somewhere else can a mod move it.
Anything that helps avoid mainver issues is good! Thanks for the write up.

I've been working on this for 2 days now and I can't seem to find an answer. I'll pay $20 to the dude who finds the resolution.
So, I just got a new Amaze, fresh out of the package. I was able to unlock the bootloader with no problems. However, when I run the flash.bat file the phone reboots into the boot loader, but nothing happens, the MS DOS prompt simply says "sending 'recovery' <4634 KB>". I've tried to use Hasoon's all-in-one-kit, but it is not able to install any recovery either. I'm not a noob, so don't insult my intelligence with stuff like "were you in USB debugging mode"? YES, I've read all the directions, and searched all over.
Things I've tried:
2 diff computers
2 diff USB cables
reinstalled HTC drivers
relocked the and unlocked the bootloader
Tried diff recoveries - CWM 5.0.02.5 and TWRP 2.0.0
Running HTC Amaze
Anyone?
Try this...
Put the recovery.img in your android/tools folder (be sure there are no other recovery.imgs in there)
Run cmd
Type the following...
"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" be sure that the name of the .img matches the command where it reads recovery.img.
Do it the easy way
ClockworkMOD 5.5.0.4 Amaze 4g/Ruby: http://www.android-dev.us/showthread...4-Off-charging
---------------------
1. Download file to your computer
2. make sure its named PH85IMG.zip
3. Copy to sdcard (externel one)
4. Pull battery and replace
5. Hold volume down and then hit power
6. Wait for it to say do you want toupdate (press volume up)
7. Press power button to reboot
8. Reboot Phone into recovery as normal and enjoy clockworkmod recovery with fixed charging and sdcard

Command worked, however hangs at "sending 'recovery' <5066 KB>..."
On the screen of the Amaze there is a green vertical progress bar that is about 1/4 filled, but never moves beyond that.
Do you have root access? If so try downloading Rom Manager from the Market and flashing it with that.
Edit: N/m I went and re-read the instructions again and see you need recovery first.

you need root for that method to work, and even then it has a really old version of cwm that does not have internal sdcard support...
This will explain everything you need to do to get S-Off, ICS ROM, ENG HBOOT, Recovery and Root.
Things you need to download:
My AIO Kit. Get the full version from here.
SuperUser from here
ENG HBOOT from here
ICS ROM from here
Stock T-Mobile 1.43 ROM from here
READ S-Off Instructions from here.
S-Off Tool from here. (Download is in the bottom)
As always, I do not take any responsibility for what happens to your phone. I've done this myself and I can confirm that it works.
This is for T-Mobile Users ONLY (for now). I'll edit it for other users soon.
BACK UP YOUR INFO FROM YOUR PHONE MEMORY AND SD CARD.
1. Make sure USB Debugging is enabled. Go to Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging.
2. Download my tool and run it. If your bootloader is unlocked (most likely it is), on my tool, press "Boot into Bootloader". After you are in bootloader, run the "Relock Bootloader" command
3. Put the Stock T-Mobile 1.43 ROM on to your SD Card. Make sure it in the root folder. Rename the file to PH85IMG. Run the command on my tool to "Boot into Bootloader" It should scan for the ROM. If it doesn't (It may be in Fastboot mode, that's why) press the power button so it switches from Fastboot into HBOOT mode.
4. It will detect it and press the Volume Up button. It will flash the Stock ROM. After the phone boots up, re enable USB Debugging again.
5. Get your unlock_code.bin from HTCDev (unless you have it) and place it in the Data folder of my tool.
6. Run the "Unlock Bootloader" command.
7. When it sends the .bin file to your phone, press Volume Up and the Power Button. It will unlock your bootloader. Re enable USB Debugging again.
8. Flash CWM 5.0.2.7 recovery from my tool.
9. Place the SuperUser zip file onto your SD Card (not the internal one!). From my tool, press "Boot into Recovery". Go to "Install Zip From SD Card", "Choose Zip from SD Card" and flash "Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip". Press the back button and select "Reboot System Now"
10. Read the S-Off instructions carefully and watch the video.
BACK UP YOUR INFO FROM YOUR PHONE MEMORY AND SD CARD.
Put an blank memory card in your phone. Run the tool and do the wire trick.
11. After it is all done, re enable USB Debugging. Put the ICS ROM on your SD Card. Rename it to PH85IMG. Run the command on my tool to "Boot into Bootloader" It should scan for the ROM. If it doesn't (It may be in Fastboot mode, that's why) press the power button so it switches from Fastboot into HBOOT mode. Press Volume Up and it will flash the ICS ROM. (It will boot twice into bootloader so DO NOT TOUCH YOUR PHONE). After it is done, press the power button and the phone will restart.
12. When it turns back on, re enable USB Debugging. Put the ENG HBOOT on your SD Card. Rename it to PH85IMG. Run the command on my tool to "Boot into Bootloader" It should scan for the HBOOT. If it doesn't (It may be in Fastboot mode, that's why) press the power button so it switches from Fastboot into HBOOT mode. Press Volume Up and now you have ENG HBOOT.
13. Flash CWM 5.0.2.7 recovery from my tool.
14. Place the SuperUser zip file onto your SD Card (not the internal one!). From my tool, press "Boot into Recovery". Go to "Install Zip From SD Card", "Choose Zip from SD Card" and flash "Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip". Press the back button and select "Reboot System Now"
You are now fully S-Off'd, have ICS installed and fully rooted!
Please be sure to thank all the devs that made all the tools and mods!
Alot of info here.
If I already flashed the ICS leak , now locked bootloader , S still ON.
Would it be 5-9 then step 13 ?

If you are on the ICS leak, I believe the new HBOOT that comes with it does not support flashing recoveries. I could be wrong though.
If you want to S-Off, follow from step 5 and onward.
If the new HBOOT supports flashing recoveries, do as you said, 5-9.

Great tutorial Hasoon but shouldn't you mention in steps 3, 11 and 12 that once you've finished flashing the ph85img file and rebooted in each case that that file should be deleted to avoid any conflict with the next step renaming to ph85img? If noobs already see a ph85img file, they might think the correct one is already there instead of deleting the old one and renaming the next step file ph85img which would be a totally different file. Just my thoughts to avoid any confusion which inevitably will happen. lol
Unlocked via HTC DEV my old info wasnt working for whatever reason.
Followed steps recovery flashed , superuser flashed.
Titanium cant get root priveleges. Updates SU DLd busybox.
Not sure if Im rooted or if the app is wonky.

Download Root Check Basic and take a screenshot of what it says. Let me see if the files got the correct permissions.
Weird , BusyBox was not launching anything. Rebooted now it does says SU not giving permission.
SU switched from Prompt to Allow no difference.
Update stops at checking for root.
RootCheck "sorry this device does not have proper root access"
For clarity S On , Bootloader is unlocked , CWM is installed , I flashed SU zip twice. ICS leak installed prior to all the above. S On, rooted , custom rom prior to ICS update.

Thanks but I think that the directions could be even more explicit.
Using the all in one tool, it is not clear whether the phone needs to be connected to usb (some people may forget), and it's not clear what mode the phone needs to be in. Does it need to be in the bootloader menu by pressing vol down and power? Or can you just plug the phone in via usb and start it working?

So I am currently on hboot 1.50 and today i attempted to install the new viper rom. It's based off of the new ics release.
I kpet getting bot loops with it so I wiped and then attempted to restore back to my cm9 devil toast.
Now i'm stuck in a boot loop. I was wondering if you guys knew how to get back into a rom.
I'm currenlty not at my home computer so I can't connect it to the computer and boot into recovery via the computer.

You are the fourth person today for whom I am writing the same solution but try it from someone else's computer if you want cause without it you will still be stuck..
Try the following steps,
1. go to recovery > wipe & factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, go to mounts and storage, wipe system, data, cache, sd card... everything u can find there... wipe all..
2. in recovery DO NOT REBOOT, turn off phone
3. go to android development of evo 3d gsm, find a rom, for example mikrunny 1.06, open the archive extract the boot.img from the kernel folder.
4. assuming u have android sdk installed on ur computer, make a new folder and from the android sdk tools copy adb.exe, fastboot.exe, adbwinapi.dll (exact same files u used to unlock bootloader). also in this folder put that boot.img you extracted from the rom
5. put that folder in C:\
6. get back to phone , still DO NOT BOOT UP YET, and power up phone in bootloader mode (vol down & power) and go to fastboot
7. connect phone to pc in fastboot usb mode
8. open command prompt, type cd c:\"folder" ("folder" = folder u created with the sdk tools)
9. type in cmd: fastboot flash boot boot.img
10. after it's completed, go to recovery, still do not boot up phone
11. in recovery go to mounts and storage, usb storage and now copy the whole rom and nothing but the rom on the sd card
12. install zip from sdcard, select rom and let it install, it should boot up automatically
steps were given by SeptimiuB, I am just replying to your query because I've gone through the same mess and recovered as well.
Just unlock your bootloader and install a recovery before trying the above steps.
Cheers.

3. go to android development of evo 3d gsm, find a rom, for example mikrunny 1.06, open the archive extract the boot.img from the kernel folder.
4. assuming u have android sdk installed on ur computer, make a new folder and from the android sdk tools copy adb.exe, fastboot.exe, adbwinapi.dll (exact same files u used to unlock bootloader). also in this folder put that boot.img you extracted from the rom
5. put that folder in C:\
6. get back to phone , still DO NOT BOOT UP YET, and power up phone in bootloader mode (vol down & power) and go to fastboot
7. connect phone to pc in fastboot usb mode
8. open command prompt, type cd c:\"folder" ("folder" = folder u created with the sdk tools)
9. type in cmd: fastboot flash boot boot.img
10. after it's completed, go to recovery, still do not boot up phone
11. in recovery go to mounts and storage, usb storage and now copy the whole rom and nothing but the rom on the sd card
12. install zip from sdcard, select rom and let it install, it should boot up automatically
steps were given by SeptimiuB, I am just replying to your query because I've gone through the same mess and recovered as well.
Just unlock your bootloader and install a recovery before trying the above steps.
Cheers.

Man.. Even after that it still keeps kicking me into boot loops...Then whenever I go to recover via recovery, my nandroids freeze on bootscreen...

In that case, I recommend you go s-off. ICS tends to bootloop for many people who are s-on. Try the wire trick. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585846

Will definitely look into that. Thanks man
My HTC Rezound is stuck on the HTC white screen. The bootloader is unlocked, but i wasn't able to finish the rooting process before I got this white screen. Can someone walk me through what I need to do? I can get to the HBOOT menu, but not sure what I need to do from here. Other threads said I need to re-lock the bootloader if I'm still in S-ON...but not entirely sure. Thanks.
How did you try to root?
You probably dont have a boot.img anymore... I would flash a ROM and its boot.img

I used a walk through on the unlockr website to root the rezound. I got to the part where you unlock the bootloader but then I gave up for the night and decided to do the rest the next day....but never got a chance...
Would you be able to explain how to flash a ROM and its boot.img? I'm sort of an amateur here..haha...I can get the phone into HBOOT and then get it into recovery mode...but not sure what to do from here....Thanks for trying to help, much appreciated!
Ok, i will backup... Download recovery and flash first, then use its file browser to see if you still have a ROM. Most likely you will have to flash a ROM, and when S-ON requires you to extract the boot.img and flash it manually.

Does clockworkmod work for the recovery ROM?

CWM or TWRP are custom recovery applications that allow you to flash ROM image zip files. You will need to select a ROM to flash as well. Place a copy of the recoveryXXX.img file in your fastboot directory. The next step will depend on the answer to my next question...
Did you have a certain custom ROM in mind or do you just want to be stock & rooted?

stock and rooted would be fine to me unless you have a better suggestion.... I'm very new at this...the only reason i undertook this endeavor is because my soft keys stopped working and most of those "home key" apps only work when you're rooted.
I'm sorry I'm so dumb at this...but do I install CWM to my phone or to my computer?

You can flash it to your phone, but it isn't necessary... if all you want is stock and rooted, know that I am back in front of a computer and not on limited to Tapatalk on my phone, I will walk you through it. I recommend TWRP though, I am familiar enough with CWM mod to do it on my own, but not to instruct someone (Do not type the quotation marks themselves unless I say otherwise)
1) Download the latest TWRP from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1902381
2) Unzip the file and copy the recovery.img file from the ZIP to the same directory as fastboot/adb
3) Download the ROM image from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2260154
4) Open the ZIP with 7Zip (or your favorite ZIP tool) and extract the file called boot.img and place it in the fastboot/adb directory as well (we may or may not need it, depends how this goes for you)
5) Place a copy of the ROM zip file on the root of your microSD card
6) Power up into Hboot (the bootloader) by pressing POWER+VOL DN until the screen comes up
7) Select and start FASTBOOT and connect the USB cable, there should now be a red bar over FASTBOOT USB
8) Open a command window in your fastboot directory
9) Type "fastboot devices" (without quotes) and press enter, the system should respond with your devices serial number, if it doesn't... STOP and report back here
10) Type "fastboot boot recovery.img" and wait for TWRP to start on the phone
11) Go to Wipes -> Advanced and select everything except the external SD and execute it
12) Go back to the top menu
13) Select Install and select the ROM image and flash, wait for it to let you know it's complete
14) Reboot and be patient... first boot on a new ROM can take a significant amount of time, give it a good 15 minutes.
Remember you do not have to flash ANY recovery image to your phone, this is only needed once S-OFF and returning to locked, you can always boot a recovery image via fastboot.
Enjoy

The ROM image is going to take 9 hours to download, is this the correct file?
If your internet connection is slow I guess... Its around half a gig

The easiest way would be to remove the microSD card and place it an external reader in the PC and then just copy and paste... the other way is to skip #5 , then after #10 (and before #11) use TWRP to mount the SD card by clicking MOUNT and then make sure Storage is set to "Micro SDcard" and click Mount USB Storage... the external SD card should show up on your PC as a regular removable USB drive, just copy it over that way and after it is complete press Home in the lower left corner and continue.

Update -
I skipped five because I don't have a miniSD external reader.
after I typed "fastboot devices" I think it showed the serial number (which is good i think)...it showed a series of letters and numbers and then fastboot. When i typed fastboot boot recovery recovery.img, i received cannot load recovery... any ideas?

Just got it to go through...sorry..i didn't have the recovery.img in the right folder.
Now phone has black colored tampered above pink unlocked message....
I"m still confused as to how to use the TWRP to mount the SD card?? When I download TWRP, there was only the recovery.img file in there...so I'm not sure how to open the TWRP application...
