That's because the new hboot cannot flash kernels. Easiest method is to download flashgui from the market which will flash the kernel for you.

Thanks for the quick response... so all i need to do is download the app flash a kernel and then flash the rom through twrp???

Awesome!

I'm having the same problem, except I've already wiped my rom so I can't load anything up to go into the market. what should I do? I'm on Hboot 2.09, I've got twrp 2.4.4.0 on there.

Do you have ADB set up on your computer?
The advice is free....the bandwidth, not so much

Download a rom to your computer. Place the rom.zip in the folder where you have adb. Also, extract the boot.img in the same folder. Open adb on your computer using command line and boot into fastboot on your phone. Use the cd command to change folders to wherever your adb is located and type adb devices to make sure you are connected. Then type fastboot flash boot boot.img. Once you do that you can push the rom zip using a different command that I forget. Even better than reading my response, search Google for "flash boot rom fastboot evo 4G lte" there's an xda thread that walks you through it.

how do i remove clockwork recovery mod and return to stock recovery

Is there a way I can flash back to the original recovery that was on the EVO 3d when i purchased it?
I'm guessing your talkin about team win recovery. Find it in dev section. Dl it rename it PG86IMG.zip put it on the root of your SD. Power off and go into boot loader it will tell u how to do the rest.

Here is the stock recovery from the cdma 2.17 ruu in a PG86IMG.
Simply put it on the root of your sd card and then boot to your bootloader and let it flash.

install adb, fastboot and your device drivers.
go to your adb and fastboot folder put the recoveryEVO3D.img (extracted from the rar tailsthecat3 provided) there.
next go to the command prompt, navigate to the folder with adb in it, and type "adb reboot bootloader" (without the quotations ofc)
when your phone has booted into the bootloader (it should say FASTBOOT USB near the top), type "fastboot flash recovery recoveryEVO3D.img" (again without the quotation marks).
Please be careful, as attempting to flash a CDMA recovery on a GSM phone and vice versa is a bad idea.
That said the recoveryEVO3D.img above is CDMA i believe.

cannot flash amonra

hey all,
well i unlocked my bootloader okay.. i used the android super toolbox (.bat file) and choose to flash a recovery.img i choose the Amonra option but it installed CWM recovery instead...and now I cannot get Amonra to succussfully flash, so that I can root. Any help?!
Reboot boot loader and use fast boot to flash amon ra. I think its called recovery.img and its in the tools folder of that tool. Put it in the folder you have adb and fasboot and then while in boot loader do fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

This is kind of wrong... I'm assuming you've CD (changed directories) to the platform-tools in order to use fastboot. With that being the case, you'll want to specify the "path of the recovery" not the "name of the recovery" + .img of course.

You are placing the recovery image in the same folder correct ? but yes that would be the correct path. I don't know why you would change name as long as you are typing it in correctly.
I always change the name to make it easier to type. Example: cwm-touch.img or recovery.img. I never leave it all crazy like "clockwork-vigor-5.5.1-recovery.img"

I just did it though ubuntu.... god i love linux lol thanks all for ur input
i did notice this on the hboot screen
Open DSP v10.6.0.7611.00.0919
maybe that was there before, but i just noticed it. anything in the name of S-Off!
What is the error you are getting?
The phone is in fastboot, yes? It says "fastboot usb"?
Are you using a folder named "Root" or do you just have your stuff all loose in root? I would keep it in a folder, name it whatever you like, android or something. Put everything you need in there, including the recovery zip file.
Open cmd prompt.
cd c:\android
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
That should do it. I've attached a pic of what I have in my folder which is all you need in there.

[Q] Why doesn't virtuous eclipse boot?

Xtract your boot.IMG from the zip file then open the file scroll down and you will see your boot.IMG and copy it into the same folder that contains your adb and your fastboot and then go head and open up you cmd and once you have your fastboot running typ fastboot flash boot boot.IMG press enter and watch the magic happen

DNA ROOT! Help Please!

Hello!
so I just unlocked my boot loader for my Verizon Droid DNA, I am using this forum page and his software that the person created ( [email protected]'s HTC DROID DNA ALL IN ONE KIT. here is the link. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2000896 and my question is. when I select TWRP 2.4.0.0 in the software all comes up is the command prompt and no where on the forum or on the app tells me how to run the root for my DNA, if someone so kind to tell me what the command prompt to run the TWRP root in this app. also someone said that I need to run the perm root after I root the phone, is that correct if so what is the command script to run this as well.
THANKS!

correct I see the TWRP in the recovery folder in the where the app is located. so far I just got my bootloader unlocked so I can root the phone. I also hear that clockworkmod recovery is a better root than TWRP but cant find a good forum walkthrough for clockworkmod.

I personally like twrp, but it really doesn't matter. I'd reccomend you try both and see which one you like. But anyway,
download a recovery to your computer.
Put your phone into fastboot and connect it to your computer
Open a command prompt where the recovery image file you downloaded is located(shift right click, open command prompt here)
Type "fastboot devices" to make sure your computer sees your phone
Type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", but replace the recovery.img with whatever the file was named.
Now you should have a custom recovery. Which will allow you to install a superuser package so you can have root access on pure stock. And it also lets you flash custom kernels and roms.
If you had any issues just post what the issue is.
