Shouldn't I be able to flash AR Recovery 3.15 in hboot by renaming the zip to PH98IMG.zip and placing in the root directory of the external SD?
Every time I try, it says something about "wrong image" or something... It's quick, before it spits me back out to the main hboot screen.
I'm using the same zip I used to flash AR Recovery when I was running GB... Why doesn't it work now?
I've always done it through adb fastboot command fastboot flash recovery <filename>

I tried both ways, neither worked... Could this be because I didn't flash hboot after getting s-off? I decided not to cause i read this was risky, but maybe i have to in order to flash a new recovery? I believe my hboot says locked at the top (but also says s-off).
Is that the problem ?
Locked is fine as long as you are s off. Maybe try hasoon2000's all in one toolkit, it has a feature to flash recoveries
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
I tried that too.
Here is what I got when I tried to flash via command:
c:\mini-adb_vigor>fastboot flash recovery recovery-ra-vigor-3.15-gnm.img
sending 'recovery' (7078 KB)... OKAY [ 1.641s]
writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 1.959s
See any clues as to what's preventing me from flashing a recovery?
Did you unlock bootloader via HTCDev? Again, the hasoon2000 tool will help with that

Pretty sure you have to be unlocked to be able to flash a recovery, even when S-Off.
I unlocked when i rooted. But now that i updated to ICS, do i need to re-unlock?
Does this mean I should flash a new hboot? Or should i follow HTC's unlock instructions... If they have any for the ICS update?

Don't unlock after s-off. You need jb hboot if you want to use flashboot flash commands. Amonra should flash in stock hboot as long its a proper ph98img.zip file. Make sure it wasn't ph98img.zip.zip !

Thanks everyone... I did end up re-unlocking. I suppose I was more comfortable restoring my backed up data than messing with the hboot.
My zip file was named properly, but still wouldn't flash from hboot for some reason. However, the same file flashed using the console commands (I'd prefer that the phone was self-sufficient for doing these things, but ah well).
Once I had AR Recovery 3.15, I used it to flash the superSU zip file (which was confusingly named "CWM"... Clockwork mod screwed up charging on my phone a while back).
Now I'm rooted, ICS, and all is well.
Thank you everyone.

The hboot that comes with last panda allows fastboot commands. Go ahead and flash it if you haven't already. Your hboot version should say 1.12.2222 once it's done.

Once you s-off you can't use the flashboot flash commands unless you install the jb hboot or unlock again. Most people say to stay locked....Howard here would beg to differ.

i guess you didnt realize why there are only roms posted in this section
1. You should know for a fact when you unlock your bootloader as is says TAMPERED big as hell after you do it. 2. You need to flash a recovery via adb "fastboot flash recovery.img" because your phone does not come stock with a recovery so it will not appear if you haven't flashed one. 3. You clearly posted in the wrong section and if you don't take time to read (rules and guides step by step) around here you most likely won't be helped and you may even get made fun of.

Have you rooted your phone, or have you only run Dirty Racun? Gaining S-off and root are not the same, and Dirty Racun won't root your phone. You have to unlock your bootloader, flash a custom recovery and the proper su binary to attain root, at which time you can flash ROM's, etc.

- Am I still unlocked/s-off
- Do I have to do the wire trick again
If all of the above are yes I guess I start buy flashing AmonRa, how do I do that again? After I flash AR I'll have root access again, right?

You will retain s off through anything you do.
You lost root and your custom recovery.
You will have to flash a custom recovery and then a superuser to gain root. Then you'll be back to normal stock rom rooted and free to flash a custom rom again.
Also you probably lost everything in internal sd so yeah.... I lost some good photos from that before

That doesn't work for an .img file.
You need adb installed on your pc to flash an .img file. Copy the file somewhere, bring up a command prompt, reboot the phone to the bootloader, select fastboot, plug it into your PC, run "fastboot flash recovery path/to/recovery.img" without the quotes.

Place this in your sdk platform tools folder

Then flash using the following commands:
fastboot erase cache

fastboot reboot
Then you can proceed with your recovery flash. Technically, you don't need to root again. A custom rom will cover that for you.

So I bought a Thunderbolt off eBay. Seller said it just had a cracked screen. Replaced that and come to find it's in a boot loop. It won't boot into the ROM or into Recovery. No big deal..
I go into hboot, unlock the bootloader, great.
Now, however, I am trying to install a recovery, and it won't even boot into recovery, just shows the splash image and then reboots into a loop. I've tried installing, CWM (touch and non), amon-ra, and one other one, all with the same results.
I tried flashing the latest ruu to get back to step 1, but I get the message that the mainver is older than currently installed and it won't let me install the ruu.
Any ideas?

Crap that's right. Can u get into fastboot? If u can do this:
"Fastboot getvarall" to get your version.
If you can get the RUU as phxxx.zip (forget the numbers) to flash in the boot loader you can edit the android text file version # to the same as your phone using 7zip. Edit the mainver line to =or> than yours
Cant do this with an exe ruu.
Hope this helps
