Noob alert : flashing custom ROM problem - HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G

Hi all
I hope there's someone can help to better understand flashing HC ROM from rooted GB stock ROM.
And so I read globatron ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358758) :
If you are already S-OFF on gingerbread, or ran *this* procedure previously skip to Part 2.

Click to collapse
SO I skip to PART 2:
I assume myself did the below since mine is rooted:
Rooted
Busybox
Secure flag turned off on the boot image
Stock recovery replaced by CWM
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1. So I just connect to PC, double click ARUWizard.exe and it's done for stock Honeycomb?
Let's say I want to do install custom ROM.
I download:
3G-Wifi: f1a04839f7b187887c77b4ab552cc2fb HC-3G-light.zip
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Here's my question. Why do I need to download HC-3G-light.zip?
I go to one of the HC custom ROM thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1409296
I read the instruction:-
Instructions:
1. Make sure you are running the correct Radio & Hboot, Follow GLOBATRON Guide or Paul Obrien Guide
2. Boot into recovery
3. Nandroid/Backup Current ROM
4. Flash Cool_ROM.zip
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2. Can I just download the custom ROM, boot into recovery, backup current ROM, and then flash the Cool_ROM without using PC?
Is it because I need to flash using HC-3G-light.zip RUU (I assume there's ARUWizard.exe inside the HC-3G-light.zip) first before flashing the using method 2 as below:-
Method 2: Using bootloader - NOTE I strongly recommend using method 1.
Rename the downloaded file PG41IMG.zip
Transfer the file to the root of your SD card
Reboot to hboot, which will detect and install the update.
Note it will require two passes to complete the upgrade due to hboot change
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
At the end, it says:
If you used the light image now restore your nandroid backup or flash your custom ROM now - then you are finished.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Is this part that I use the custom ROM that I want?
Thanks guys. I got confused here with flashing ROM using RUU and flashing ROM using CWM...

If you do the full s off aru wizard you can flash roms freely without the light package. Disregard flashing boot.img if you have s off

Please pardon my noobness.
The last time I did it is to s-off, install CWM and root only. I still using stock GB. So I didn't do any ARUWIZARD.exe thingy.
So.......
What is the first step I do? I did download the light package and I didn't see any ARUWIZARD in it. I guess I need to download the big file?

If on s off gingerbread, run the aru wizard. You will then be on honeycomb with s off. At that point in time you can freely flash honeycomb and ics roms

[Q] Need some help exactly where to go from here.

I have a phone on 4.1.57 running GreyBlur. The Android Version is 2.2.1
I haven't accepted any OTA updates, but I recently found out that Gingerbread is out.
What is the best way to go on about rooting the phone after the gingerbread update? Flash back to stock, then update, then root? If someone could point me in the right direction it'd be greatly appreciated.
thank you.

Is RSD and CWM the same thing? I don't understand what these two are.
If I'm on 2.2.2, stock w/ root and side-loading enabled, do I skip #1?
why isn't pudding used in any of this?
yes skip #1
RSD is a flashing tool...
CWM is used for flashing too but it's much safer then RSD...
in order to unlock your phone's bootloader u have to do one step using RSD here is a pretty good video tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H02N4p9vEg0 on how to unlock ur bootloader...
on my previous post...2nd link is referring to pudding is it not?

there are 2 versions of cwm. one for locked and one for unlocked. after you unlock you have to fastboot flash recovery to get the good CWM then you can flash roms properly.
RSD the 1.83 pudding
Fastboot oem unlock to unlock bootloader
fastboot flash recovery to get the unlocked CWM
CWM recovery to install roms
As long as you have not OTA to gingerbread then RSD is ok but not recommended. If youhave the OTA gingerbread then rsd will hard brick your device if you try to go back to an older build.

Please help can't load any rom

I bought this 3D used but like new and wanted to flash it to Boost so I was doing some preliminary pre-flash things like rooting and loading a custom recovery and rom. I used the HTC unlock method for the bootloader and flashed Eternity and it stuck at Beats screen (boot animation). I downloaded a different rom to see if it was the rom but that one froze at the animation screen as well. I attempted to do an RUU stock reset on my PC from bootloader but it returned an error saying update failed. I'm basically locked out of this phone. I read everything it said about flashing custom kernels and how you are supposed to flash them from bootloader. I know Eternity has a stock kernel don't know about the other one. My last resort is to download a zip of a stock rom and flash that from recovery. If it freezes on me I'm not sure what I'll do next. Any help is appreciated...

Did you follow the root instructions all the way through to install Superuser and the recovery? If so, did you boot into fastboot, connect usb, then do the fastboot boot recovery.img before flashing the rom?

I did not use that method to flash, no. I'm assuming you mean from my PC execute the command. I did follow the instructions to install TWRP which is a custom recovery and I flashed a ZIP from TWRP for Superuser and checked it to be working which it was. (I tested Root Explorer and Terminal Emulator for root)
I was operating off the assumption that custom roms with a STOCK kernel could be flashed by booting into recovery. I went to bootloader then recovery then flashed the rom. Obviously I did something wrong since both roms wouldn't load. I will use your method of PC commands from fastboot into recovery and see where that gets me....pease let me know if this is correct or anything else I need to do....thanks a bunch.
UPDATE : I tried the method of loading recovery from fastboot usb - it worked thank you. The rom loaded. I'm wondering why since it was a custom rom with a stock kernel why I couldn't flash it from recovery.

While the kernel is stock, Virus has a bunch of binaries and such that will be mismatched without flashing the boot.img properly ... So while some of his builds say "stock" not always completely stock.

Not true. You can flash a ROM but if you don't use fastboot it won't touch the kernel. I always change roms with the stock kernel. He must have done something wrong

If the kernel is pure stock with no added binaries or stuff it will work. Virus puts lots of little tweaks in that require it. Now if you can load a completely stock kernel and ramdisk then load Eternity (of course some eternity builds did have a completely stock kernel) then you may be onto something.
As far as flashing with hboot 1.50 easiest way to do that without the computer is with joeykrm's flash image gui. I don't have 1.50 but I have used his gui to do partial updates on svn builds in tandem with adb sync and it works great. His post with the apk is in development section. just read the instructions and flash away.

Yeah I read all about it I'm still stuck on why if I had a stock kernel installed with a stock rom and I do a custom rom flash and as stated it doesn't touch the kernel why the rom wouldn't simply run off the stock kernel - that's what confuses me. I understand the issue of the kernel not being flashed which is obviously what happened with me. I just don't really know where I stand with what kernel to ALWAYS have loaded since if that's the thing with the issue I would want to for purposes of not doing tons of work stay away from flashing kernels and stick to flashing roms when I want to change it up. But if the STOCK kernel won't load with a custom rom which technically it should I guess I'll just have to flash a universal custom kernel and assume any rom I flash will simply use that kernel. Kind of a nightmare compared to my 4G....welcome to the world of the 3D I guess.
I guess going into recovery from hboot with the volume and power buttons wouldn't count - I have to stick with PC commands?

[Q] Kernel Update Possible Questions

I been searching around all over the place and I am just hitting my head against the wall. Any help would be appreciated.
This is my setup: hboot 1.5 S-ON, I have unlocked using the HTC method. I have Revolutionary CWM recovery installed.
I am looking to update the Kernel and Radio/PRI of the phone to the latest versions. (I haven't done it in a very long time.)
By what I read, since I have hboot 1.5 updating the kernel seems close to impossible. I did read that I may have to go to a Stock Rom and update via sprint OTA to get the latest updates then unlock again? That doesnt sound right to me.
I am all types of confused. Part of this was started because I wanted to try the MeanROM (link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466362) and also update my phone. Everything I try to do fails or I cant do because of the 1.5 or the S-ON.
Hopefully i am making some sense. I dont know what I have to do to get the latest kernel or if it even is possible.
If you are rooted already the only thing you need to do is install flash GUI app (you can get it in the market) and flash the kernel (boot.img) file before you flash the ROM and you should be OK
There is a myth that if your on 1.5 s-on your doomed, that's not true. It does mean that you'll need an extra step to do things but you'll be able to get things done without issues.

Thank you for the reply, so I understand I can load that application, unzip the rom I want which will have the boot.img. Then flash that boot.img and then install that rom, is that correct? Lastly, does this also update the radio and pri?

If your firmware is compatible with the Rom and kernel yes. If not, you will brick your phone or features will not work as they have to do. After you install flash GUI go to browse button and you will be advertised that file is too large for a kernel or recovery image, then asks if it is a valid Rom zip file. Tap yes and it will search the kernel inside the Rom. After it finishes tap flash and after reboot in recovery(you have to have recovery.img in root of your SD card), next wipe dalvik and cache, install zip and wait until the phone finishes. It is also recommended to you to make a nandroid backup before install anything.

For the EVO 3D, much like the EVO 4G, the custom ROMs generally do not contain the radio or pri images.
There are some different reasons for this, but one of the common reasons being some users claim to experience different radio performance based on their geographic loation in relation to different versions of the radio and pri images.

The only clarification to this post would be having recovery.img in the root of your SD card is not required for rebooting into recovery mode. In order for a custom recovery to load, when rebooting into recovery mode, the recovery.img has to have been flashed previously. Flash Image GUI can also flash the recovery.img to the recovery partition so when you reboot into recovery, the proper custom recovery loads. Most users flash custom recoveries infrequently when compared to how often they flash ROMs so the process for flashing the recovery process isn't covered as often.
In general, regarding the OP's original question of flashing the "MeanROM", the Flash Image GUI thread provides a great beginner step by step guide I wrote to help walk thru the general overview and process. I've quoted it below for easy reference.
Appreciate all the support of Flash Image GUI! I'll echo the optimism for hboot 1.5 s-on unlocked users, most everything is still possible. HTC just requires an extra few steps which can be frustrating, but once they are learned, the process is fairly smooth.
Hope the clarification helps iron out any confusion on the details!
HTC Unlock - Hboot 1.5 Users Guide for ROMs with a Kernel (boot.img file):
1) Unlock using HTC method for Hboot 1.5 users
2) Load this application, Flash Image GUI, onto the device, either through the Market or the link provided in this OP.
3) Download ROM .zip file to the sdcard on the device.
4) Open up Flash Image GUI, select Browse and select the ROM .zip file, downloaded to /sdcard in the previous step.
5) Flash Image GUI will provide a warning, reminding that the ROM .zip file will *need* to be flashed in the custom recovery afterward.
6) Flash Image GUI will index the full ROM .zip file searching for the kernel and kernel modules. Once located, the Flash Image button should be enabled.
7) Select the Flash Image button and Flash Image GUI will load the kernel modules and kernel from inside the ROM zip file.
8) Select reboot recovery.
9) Inside the custom recovery, load/flash the ROM zip file.
10) Reboot to normal Android mode and all should work including Wifi!

[Q] Root

Hi,to everyone:
so,i'm newb,and i dont leave in the us,and i'm a proud owner of a Droid Dna.
As i dont be on the us,i cant have na OTA update,so i'm stock 1.15
And i have a few questions,help:
1) I'm going to do the Unlock using the Supercid,and do the htcdev process.
flash a new recovery,and install superuser.Correct?
the questions are:
1) Doing the unlock,i can place a ROM even the stock rom (deodexed or other)?
2) The process will be: remove the boot.img from the rom zip file
flash it manually,and them place the rom.zip file on the phone and flash it in recovery.
I think that the rom will not have the new kernel,so i think that i have to install it manually,will i be unrooted?
In this Post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2080200) it says that is the new update Rom,but does it have the original kernel,or i have to install it via recovery or manually??

1, I believe the answer is yes
2. In most cases, the boot.img is provided along with the rom as a separate download so no need of extraction. It has to be flashed using adb from your pc -usually right before you install the rom.
3. If you allow the ota update before you root you can not root, If after you've rooted and bootloader is unlocked, it will download but won't install-at least it did not for me. If you relock the bootloader and flash a to stock, I heard you can get the ota but you will not be able to unlock it again. Not sure on that part. Rumor says that this will get fixed soon but as f right now no.

From what I read before, fastboot boot will only boot to that recovery file temporarily but I haven't tried it myself. It should be
Code:

I'm not 100% sure it will work without problems, but if it did, your data will not be wiped.
I suggest you wait for someone else to answer coz I'm not expert. I only learned from guides in the telegram group.

You can try, first, if fastboot works in your device, type adb reboot fastboot, once the script ends, quickly disconnect device from your PC and again reconnect it, you will be redirected to fastboot, if the bootloader is unlocked, you could flash it using fastboot commands.
If you can´t get it to work then you can flash it using SPFT https://spflashtool.com/, put the recovery, in the same folder, with the attached files. All the sources to can use the tool, here https://www.getdroidtips.com/bypass-mediateks-sp-flash-tool-authentication-protection/

Most of the custom roms I've seen requires formatting data. Just to be sure have you unlocked bootloader already? That requires wiping data iirc.
If not then nothing will really work with what you're doing.

What you are saying now is totally different from what you firstly posted.
Installing a custom ROM doesn't require a stock recovery (just in case you are confusing), and obviously, to can switch from a stock ROM to a custom ROM, that has a total different basement, it's mandatory to format data, anyway, you should back up your data previously to do so.

Then you can root your phone 1st then backup your files to a computer and use migrate backup to backup app data. Note that migrate backup is limited to 4gb. Then do the fastboot flash i mentioned before

A stock recovery is not needed to install a custom ROM, and even you can't install a custom ROM using a stock recovery.
If you want to join, flashing your device and stuff like this, better learn how to use SPFT, also you have this tool https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient, this can save your device, if something in the process goes wrong.

OK, then what you are trying to install is an "old" Android 10 based ROM, if this is the case, then just download a stock Android 10 ROM, flash it through SPFT, then use SPFT to flash the custom recovery, transfer the custom ROM to your external SD Card (preferably) or sideload it, through recovery, and flash it. In the process you need to unlock bootloader, and immediately to flash the custom recovery, boot to it, using hardware buttons.

Alright so, it might sound funny but I think I fixed it. I was playing with my downloaded recoveries until I downloaded the stock recovery, it is compatible but when I do fastboot reboot recovery I get stuck at Orange State for like 30min and it boots me into the recovery so does anyone know a solution for this? And thank you for everything and sorry for wasting y'all's time. Sincereley.

You have to boot to recovery using hardware buttons (PWR + vol. down), in regard to orange state, this is absolutely normal when bootloader was unlocked, it's not an issue but a cosmetic thing.
