[Q] Flashing Kernels after ROMS? - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

I'm trying to flash Awesomesauce. I know with HBOOT 1.15 I have been flashing the boot.imgs from ROMs through fastboot. I'm currently on SuperLTE ROM, HBOOT 1.15. Awesomesauce is supposed to have the S-On installer zip built in. I downloaded the S-ON flavor of Awesomesauce 2.2, flashed in recovery, rebooted into bootloop. I then tried flashing the boot.img from the Awesomesauce zip then flashing the zip again in recovery. No luck, more boot loop. I read the Sticky pertaining to flashing kernels for HBOOT 1.15 but I didn't see anything about flashing a kernel that wasn't already inside the ROM zip.
So what am I doing wrong? Do I need to reflash the ROM since I have decided to change kernels? Or am I just a super nooblet and not doing the process right?

Some roms fail on the kernel installer, you should be able to.just extract kernel and fastboot, I don't think there would be any problem after that

I'm guessing fastboot flash doesn't work. You could try to manually place the kernel into the rom by replacing the kernel folder in the rom with that from awesome, copy/paste the contents from system>lib>modules into the same location in the rom. Zip the rom and flash.

Extract kernel and fastboot? Does that mean extract the kernel folder from the Awesomesauce zip and flash that through fastboot? What would be the command for that? "fastboot flash kernel kernel.zip"?

It's the boot.img, it is pretty much the fail safe way to flash a kernel and components. I have yet to have it fail unless I didn't have full access to fastboot

Tried the Flash Img GUI app if that's what you mean. The link you posted gives me a 404 error. I just tried flashing via Flash Img GUI and still no dice. I've tried flashing a different (Enoch) via fastboot, next I'll try flashing it via Flash Img GUI. Any other ideas?

I even tried this, still getting a boot loop after trying to flash any kernel other than the one that is baked into SuperLTE. Any ideas guys? At this point, I've tried Awesomesauce, Enoch, and EvilZ and have flashed using various methods: recovery (with S-On installer kernels), fastboot, Flash Img GUI, desktop boot img flasher. All of these send me into boot loop.

Try meanrom, evilz kernel runs fine on that one

Using EvilZ kernal breaks mikeys tweaks refer to my last post

Runs fine for me and it seems to me op is trying to flash a kernel separate from the one packed into rom

Figured it out. My phone won't play nice with 2.1GHz OC. My friend suggested I try the 1.89 flavor of Awesomesauce. Flashed in recovery (S-On Installer Script), boot looped once then rebooted to the ROM. I should have thought of this before.

Yeah things like that slip my mind, sorry I didn't think of that. I even had to check my phone to see if I'm overclocked lol

[Q] problem with mainver .... can i RUU?

Hey guys.
Yesterday I ran into a problem when I tried to flash RezRom ICS v1.0 over my current ROM (DSB's Bamf Cubed 1.0.2). ROM flashed fine...but the Kernel would give me an error
"Main Version is Older!
Update Fail!
Press <POWER> to reboot"
I have learned this is an issue with the Kernel DSB made being based off of a more recent base than the one in the ICS ROMs.
It was suggested I just manipulate the mainver # in the text file with the Kernel...but I am so glad I did not. Two problems for me
1. I don't want to lose the ability to RUU (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1454255 see text in red)
2. I have not desire to edit this file from now one when I must update the kernel.
So whatoptions do I have to downgrade my kernel? Can I HBoot this RUU http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1338916? and then just us the root method again? Then flash RR ICS v1.0?
Thanks in advance
I think you have to use it now. Until a new ruu comes out I don't think you'll be able to use one

I need some help here also. everything I have tried to do will not work. I have tried reflashing kernels, recoveries, countless numbers of PH98IMG files. I have tried cut and pasting the text.info INTO THE PMG98IMG and nothing works. the ONLY way I can boot my phone is to flash the Clean ICS ROM, let it fail the fastboot, delete the PMG98IMG file from the SDCard and then flash the ICS Kernel from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1454255 The phone will now boot up and I can get data and all but I can receive or make a phone call.. If I try to make a phone call as soon as I touch the key pad the phone locks up adn then reboots. I can do everything else including downloading apps I just can't make or receive phone calls.
HELP PLEASE
If you're having this problem reflash the kernel in fastboot. It works every time. Yes you need a PC, but it works. fastboot flash boot boot.img.

and when at a computer you can edit the android-info.txt so the flashable PB98IMG.zip will work for later use to switch back and forth from ICS to GB without a comp.

I just want to make sure I understand before I do this.
So you are saying that if I save a copy of the boot.img from the ICS rom I want to flash in the folder with the fastboot.exe file.
I can boot into the bootloader first -> go to fastboot -> flash the boot image via the command above
Then boot to recovery and flash the ROM
Then...I should be good?

Yeah. I always flash the kernel after the ROM but I think it doesn't matter. Just my way of being sure that the kernel I want is loaded. And I never get the mainver error.
Awesome...will try that now
Thanks
kernel before rom, rom then kernel, doesn't make a diff.
kernel must be flashed before rom will boot though.
For ROMs that have kernels in them, that after installing bring you to bootloader to install PB98IMG.zip, you can edit the said PB98IMG.zip in the ROM prior to installing so you can flash the kernel and not get the main ver. sig error.
it sucks, but it will be fixed come the next OTA update.
---------- Post added at 03:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:01 PM ----------
If you want to be 100% sure not to get the mainver problem, flash kernel using ADB fastboot.
PAID!!!
Thanks again.
Only reason I flashed kernel first was because with the mainver error...fastboot was not available. every-time bootloader started up...would read the PH98IMG and error with no option but to reboot. Which would have meant I would have had to pull the sdcard and remove that file before I could flash the kernel.
This way I just boot to bootloader...flash kernel...then from bootloader boot to recovery...flash room which will go back to bootloader and fail...but this time on reboot the kernel was already there.

[Q] How to boot PhoneROM on Boot manager?

As title says i want to know how to boot my Main ROM, i installed Boot manager and on one slot i installed MIUI, after that i tried to go to my main rom with no success, its still on MIUI, Boot manager is not working properly, when i select boot phone rom nothing happens. Idk how to go back now. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Try two things.
1. Try to reinstall boot manager in miui rom and then try to boot to phone rom.
2. You can flash the update.zip file in the phone rom folder on recovery. Then reboot those should boot you into the phone rom.

ok first even boot manager tells you that you should have s-off for this to work properly.... and it would work you will just have to manually flash the boot.img's to the rom you want to load

This is correct, you need to fastboot to recovery then flash the phone Rom update.zip. that's the only way for s-on'ers to flash to boot from recovery.

I have been s-off since the downgrade was discovered so I don't know about smartflash but I do use 4ext. And I feel like I'm intruding on wloftus because he has you dilemma figured out, but here's what I'd do. Sorry wloftus.
Fastboot boot "anyrecovery.img" and flash the phone Rom update. You can flash 4ext, cwm or twrp. It doesn't matter that 4ext is installed on the phone, it won't hurt if you boot a different recovery from fastboot. 4ext will still be there when you regular boot to recovery. I've done this many times with twrp installed and fastbooted to cwm.
Edit... You said you reinstalled meanrom, if you had a custom kernel installed to it when u set up phone Rom then the update.zip might not get you back to meanrom. If you had the stock kernel for meanrom then the update should work.

This is what i did:
1. adb reboot bootloader.
2. fastboot boot recovery.img(TWRP 1.1)
3. Install ZIP(MeanROM 3.92 with ziggy)
Should it work? It is installing the ZIP right now
EDIT: It is working. At least i have now the boot animation from MeanROM. It is booting. I promise i wont use Boot Manager again.

Yeah, that should overwrite the boot image that's taking you to miui and get you back to your phone Rom.
For future reference you shouldn't ever have to reflash a whole Rom just to get back to the phone Rom. As wloftus said earlier, the phonerom update just wasnt sticking because you are s-on. I'm sure this can be done with smart flash but I don't know how. Next time just fastboot to recovery and flash the update.
Edit... Dude, boot manager is da bomb. I used it for 6 months with s-on and never had this issue. Just a lil hiccup for you, now you know how to fix it.

My guess would be 1.5 s-on since that seems to cause the most bootlooping issues. I recommend you get 1.4 s-off (see my signature) or 1.5 s-off. That makes flashing work much better, especially ICS ROMs.

[Q] Unlocked, rooted, but any ROM I install hangs at boot animation

I have HBoot 1.15, and it was a bit of a struggle but I got my bootloader unlocked, flashed TWRP, and pushed superuser.zip to the phone to get root. However, when I went to install Deck's port of CM10, it hung at the boot animation. I then tried viper ROM and that is doing the same thing. I would like to get CM10 (or some other Jellybean ROM) working on my phone, but barring that, just getting it back to stock would be an ok solution right now, as I am currently stuck with a very flashy paperweight.
I'm not 100% positive but I believe since you are unlocked on the new bootloader, your going to have to manually flash the kernel to get boot. Read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1794867. Also check out TWRP htc dumblock feature

So you're saying you are able to flash ROMs with a custom kernel (CM1O, CM9 etc..) with the newest Hboot, s-on unlocked? If you are flashing ROMs with the stock kernel you won't have any issues, but it seems the op problems started after trying to flash a non stock kernel... Which leads me to believe he/she is s-on unlocked.

I am using TWRP to flash the ROM from zip files on my SD card. No error messages are reported. First I flashed CM10, next I flashed gapps.
Also, I did try using fastboot boot boot.img using the boot.img file I extracted from the cm10.zip ROM file. Perhaps I didn't do that correctly? I first did fastboot, then flashed the ZIP file on using TWRP. Was I only supposed to do fastboot?

You will need to use fastboot to flash the kernel separate if going to a non stock rom/kernel and back to a stock from from for example CM9/10.
If your s-on htc dev unlock on 1.15 HBOOT NO kernels will flash through recovery when flashing a rom. It will hang for a while on the boot.img install and then complete but NOTHING kernel related is actually changed. You MUST do it through fastboot. Peeps that are s-on htc dev unlocked 1.15 hboot and dont use fastboot or the strange dumlock in twrp (i tried with no success with dumlock) are using only the original stock htc kernel.

Well this isn't particularly good news, as I'm fairly certain I have already done this. Please let me know if i'm doing the process correctly:
Unlock Bootloader
Install TWRP
Extract boot.img from CM10.zip
Root Device
Flash CM10
fast boot the boot.img file that was extracted earlier
Reboot and all should be well
This is how I understand the process, but that does not appear to be working for me?

What sense setup are you running?
From new phone I would do these.
Root
htc dev unlock
install twrp
install sense rom
remove boot.img from cm10
reboot to bootloader flashing boot.img in fastboot
reboot to recovery flash cm10 in recovery
reboot and enjoy
did you wipe data and caches?
Alright... presently I have a phone with HTCDev Unlock, TWRP, and a non-functioning copy of CM10 from Deck's 08/06 build. I am going to do this process right now and tell you what happens...
1) Extract boot.img from CM10.
2) Fastboot flash boot boot.img
(Reports finished writing 'boot')
3) Reboot to bootloader
(Rebooted successfully)
4) Go to Recovery.
(TWRP has loaded successfully)
5) Flash CM10.zip and gapps.zip
6) Clear Cache and Dalvick
7) Reboot
And at the end of all that, I am still in a boot loop, however, I noticed some errors that were probably there the whole time, but that I didn't see before. Here is the output in the console during the flash process:

Alright... presently I have a phone with HTCDev Unlock, TWRP, and a non-functioning copy of CM10 from Deck's 08/06 build. I am going to do this process right now and tell you what happens...
1) Extract boot.img from CM10.
2) Fastboot flash boot boot.img
(Reports finished writing 'boot')
3) Reboot to bootloader
(Rebooted successfully)
4) Go to Recovery.
(TWRP has loaded successfully)
5) Flash CM10.zip and gapps.zip
6) Clear Cache and Dalvick
7) Reboot
And at the end of all that, I am still in a boot loop, however, I noticed some errors that were probably there the whole time, but that I didn't see before. Here is the output in the console during the flash process:
And it reports success.

I have never seen the sdcard2 error. it doesn't appear your flashing from that but are you? Check in twrp advanced options for internal or external card being used. I personally use the internal for everything.
OP, I am having the same exact problem. I followed the same steps you did and can't seem to get it working.
I get to the CMX boot screen but after about a minute the whole screen starts blinking on and off. Do you have anything similar to that happening for you?

Flashing a kernel when S-ON

I have an HTC flyer rotted by unlocking the bootloader and it is S-ON. Everyone knows that when your flyer is rooted that way you'll need to flash the kernel manually
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
otherwise the kernel will not be flashed.
So now i have the lledroid HC ROM and I flashed the kernel with clockworkmod. (The kernel can be flash within the recovery) So my question is is the kernel now flashed or do I need to do it manualy.
Link to lee's rom (great work on it BTW) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406851
Don't personally know how LeeDroid handles boot.img. If the thread says that it will flash boot.img for you in recovery with S-On, than you should be good. The worst that will happen if try to boot, is that it will get stuck on the boot splash screen. In which case, just restart into bootloader, and flash the boot.img in fastboot.
On the other hand, flashing it manually (even if it was already flashed automatically) typically will not hurt anything either.
I knew that My question was can you flash flash a kernel using a zip file without commands with S-ON

If its not a feature of the installer for the particular custom ROM, then no.
