I'm trying to s-off because I feel more secured to flash kernels without thinking (if) it gonna work so my question is that after I s-off do I have to flash an hboot or recovery since I already have a recovery

Trust me, after getting S-Off, flashing a recovery/hboot is the least of your worries. Generally, it will flash j-bear hboot so you're good. As for recovery, you do need to flash one.
Correct me if i'm wrong though.
I figured cuz I'm trying to do his steps n I was just wandering if it kinda starting fresh again u know after s-off get recovery ,root it , n go from there n the program doesn't come with an hboot so imma use a ph185.img n then flash 4ext

You shouldn't have to flash one, but once the process is complete, try rebooting into recovery to see if your custom recovery is still there, it usually is.

ok my phone is s-on on hboot 1.90.0008 and it has an unlocked bootloader with 4ext recovery.
i tryed going back to stock with ruu (videotron) but it fails
i tryed changing roms and its just stuck on a bootloop. so far i tryed 3 different roms with no luck
i dont know what to do
any help will be appreciated
thx
Make sure your RUU is properly named and put it on the root of your SD card.
Lock your bootloader by adb command "OEM LOCK" From your pc's command prompt. This will lock your bootloader (and will erase everything)
When you reboot to your bootloader, it will scan for your ph85img.zip (I think I remember thats what its called... its been a while) and it will flash the update.
Hope this helps... if not... I recommend http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1679486 this thread. Goodnight

Incorrect info by GS3G. Since you are S-On, you can't downgrade to the Gingerbread RUU. You need to have S-Off so you can downgrade to the GB RUU

"Enable smartflash" while in recovery's settings menu. Your kernel isnt flashing and that causes the bootloop

Have you ever successfully ran an ICS ROM on the phone before? What ROM were you on BEFORE this happened?
Yea i had ics rom from the guy i bought it from and it worked. the 4ext recovery was also installed but idk what rom it was. i asked him like 2 hours ago ill see what he response back and tell you but if it was running a custom rom with ics i cant see why it wouldnt run another...
All i did when it was working was wipe data and dalvik then installed energy rom 8.1 then flashed the boot.img with pc
Did i do something wrong?

Your not s-off, and judging from the fact you can't boot cm, your not on hboot 1.12. Check out http://unlimited.io/dirtyracun.htm this will allow you to s-off and not have to worry about flashing the boot.img through fastboot.
I used regaw method of achieving root and it does s-off also, and like I said cm10 goes into bootloop

regaw_leinad's tool only unlocks your bootloader, through the method provided by HTC. You do not achieve s-off though that. If you boot into your bootloader, you will see s-on, the next line below where it says unlocked.

Personally, your much better off actually going with dirtyracun. If your s-off all you have to do is flash the rom.zip. If you dont wanna go that route, you need adb set up. After you have adb set up, just cd to what ever directory you extracted the boot.img out of the rom to, and type fastboot flash boot boot.img
sorry, I'm not gunna spoon feed ya through the process, but atleast it sends you in the right direction

Are you flashing the boot img in fastboot before installing in recovery? Most sense roms are over 500mb and have the same kernel so it boots up fine without flashing the boot img before hand. Aosp roms will require you to flash the boot img before hand if you're s-on

^This. You will need to put the boot.img in your ADB tools folder on your computer, put the phone in fastboot USB mode and use the command 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' to flash the kernel to your phone. A better solution is to get S-off so you don't have to mess with flashing the kernel separately .

Agreed. Best thing to do is get S-OFF! :good: :good: :good:
S-OFF is cake now. No reason NOT to do it. It will make all of this EASIER for you. Just up and do it.
You have two possible methods to do this: DirtyRacun or Facepalm. The latter can be done in five minutes.
You'll thank yourself later.

From the thread I linked previously -
"You can also come by irc for support or just to say thanks: #FacePalm http://chat.andirc.net:8080/?channels=facepalm"
I know it can be scary, but you have to read the forum(s) and/or watch the video(s). Since you took the trouble to register on this site, don't rush and take the time to learn and understand by reading, reading, and more reading. It's not an overnight thing, but it does come eventually. It took me 6 months before I began to have a decent understanding of what I was doing with my first PC...
No offense, but we can't hold your hand as you cross the street. You have to take those first steps yourself. Read carefully, make notes that YOU will understand a day later... but you must take the responsibility for what happens to your phone.

I had corrupted ROMs right after trying evervolv rom. Anyone have the original gingerbread and ICS ruu? The ones I found online seem to be corrupted as I get the "sd card has been disconnected" message every time I try to put it on the SD card ( have tried 3 different SD cards and all of the ruus found here). Also some have been taken down as I guess the NFC amaze development is a ghost town now .

I dunno why all of you get this.. Its cuz your boot.img didn't flash.. Do like this flash the Rom and reboot into the recovery again then a small pop up will come saying turn on smart flash bla bla say yes and give it 10 sec and reboot your phone.. I kinda remember something like that
