I have a thunderbolt s-on radio 1.49 I'm running a sense 3.0 ROM at the moment with cwm I've been wanting to try the bliss ROM soab but everytime I install I get stuck at the boot screen then just starts over but never booting into the Rom. I'm a experienced user been toying around since 2007 so if u can help me out let me know thanks

I bet you that the Rom you are trying to flash has a different kernel and that is why it is bootlooping. You need to flash the stock kernel or try using 4ext. It has an s on flashing tool.

Ok that sounds right can u point me to the right place to get the stock kernel ?

What if I boot into recovery useing comand prompt
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda app-developers app
Won't make a difference if you boot using a command prompt. If the Rom has an aftermarket kernel it won't boot for your device because it will be unable to flash the custom kernel since you're s on. It can however be done you just have to go about it a different way. I do.t know how to do it that way though but there are guides. I would try getting s off honestly. It's easy to do.

definitely flash back to stock rom and get s-off it makes things so much easier
Yea it does thanks u guys I flashed back to stock from hboot then used the thunderbolt tool gained s off then flashed recovery wiped then installed booted right up thanks for your help

Make your life easy. Download 4ext from the market heres the thread for it also. Open it... and select s=on (im assuming you are s=on otherwise kernels flash automatically with the rom. flash 4ext recovery from the app. Reboot recovery. In recovery, go to settings and enable "smartflash."
Now the kernel will flash when you flash the Rom. It may reboot once right after the htc splash screen... then the rom will boot.

Boot into bootloader. It will tell you if s=on or off. If s=on, while in recovery, go to settings and enable smartflash and flash away.
If s=off... just flash away. Either way... no need to download a kernel

So after flashing aosp Rom I can't seem to flash anything other than sense 3.6 roms. Why I try I get a constant booting. I'm s-on and also I've noticed the roms with kernel zip built in. The PH98IMG doesn't install on ad card. But zips flashed in recovery do. Also bootfast isn't working either, even tho phone is recognized by computer. Any help would be appreciated on this thanks in advance.

if you can't get to fastboot then you have the zip from another file on there. delete that then in order to get that certain rom to work you have to extract the roms boot.img and fastboot flash on pc.

Personally I don't know if that would help, well....actually I don't see why it wouldn't cuz the s-off process will wipe everything.. I'd say do it and flash somethin fresh, don't nandroid after.. try a sense 4 Rom fresh.. if it still doesn't go id try flashjg another aosp Rom that is known not to cause this problem your havig, then try flashing s4 again.. I'm really curious as to why this is happening.. I'm not sure if any of this would help but these are the steps I personally would take to try and trouble shoot..

Crazy is, the problem seems to be something to do with kernels. I can only flash one all others even funky kernel with install thru fastboot, but the out come is the same. Continuous booting. At this point I don't see S-_OFF will fix the problem either. I ruued twice factory reset and used Scott's ten wipe and clean installs only to in up with the same out come.

Haven't had a problem on that Rom, I'm using it now, for the past 3 days
Are you using 4ext?
Make sure smartflash is on
Or try and flash another kernel, use flash image GUI if possible, since you are s on its your best choice

I am getting this issue on NegaLite r109 but I didn't on r108. How do I enable Smart Flash. I'm using TWRP
I think twrp has a feature called dumbblock, but I don't know, just remember something along those lines.
Smartflash is a feature of 4ext recovery.
If you haven't tried it yet, you should.
Actually I think Butterz recommends you use 4ext to flash that Rom (that's how you get the add-ons)
If I remember right all you need to do is install the 4ext app, and you can flash recovery through the app.
If you have issues, I have the recovery.img file in my db. If you want it, pm me.

Possibly an outdated twrp recovery. Try installing the newest version and see how that goes.

What all are you wiping in twrp? What rom are you trying to flash? Maybe she needs s-off?
Sent from my HTC One
Is her one S-off? If not, I believe you'll need to flash the bootIMG/kernel seperately thru fastboot . I'm guessing cuz I have HTC Evo LTE and it's the sane way if you're not S-off.
If you're unfamiliar, I bet there's guides stickied in general or Q&A.
Good luck.

You Do NOT need s-off to flash any current ROM's on the one. And you don't have to flash kernels separately like on older htc phones, so don't worry about that.
Honestly I really don't see why your having trouble with clean rom... What exactly is it doing when you try to flash it?

Yesterday I unlocked my bootloader, got TWRP recovery, got S-OFF and rooted my phone. Is there anything else important I need to do?
I also got ext4, which i believe got rid of TWRP because now i can't find it. Which is better?
I flashed a new kernel, but it broke the wifi, there were no wifi modules so I returned to stock kernel. I'm using Flash Image GUI. Is that the best way to flash roms and kernels? Something's telling me its not.
On a related note what seems to be the best overall kernel + rom configuration? I know its opinion based but from what I've seen there's not much descriptive information on roms and kernels.
This is my first HTC device, help much appreciated.

4 ext recovery is recomended for Evo. Personaly I always flashed my kernels via recovery (same as ROM flashing but wipe cashe and dalvik only). As for ROM kernel combo, that's up to you and your phone. My best combo might not even work on your phone, so it's flashing time for you. Flash away and find what works the best

Might sound stupid but is there any instructional video for using ext4? I've never used this recovery and want to make sure I'm flashing kernels and rooms correctly.
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
I don't know about tutorials but it's easy. Before flashing just wipe everything except SD card ( you can do this twice, just to be sure there are no leftover files) and choose zip file to flash. Always flash ROM first. You can flash kernel right after the ROM but I always boot my ROM, let it settle for few minutes and then boot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik and then flash kernel. That's all there is to it. You can also fix permissions after you flash the ROM but I never did it and had no problems.

Yes because all ROMs come with kernels, so if you don't like the kernel you got with ROM, just flash another one. You know you can't flash JB ROMs on certain h-boots right?

If you want to flash jb or kitkat, you need to change your hboot to 1.50 or lower.
Make sure you are flashing cdma files, the ones for gsm will cause many headaches and potential brick.
There is a thread somewhere with the cdma hboots, I will try and find it

Yeah I'd like to get JB or even KK.
Not sure what's the best.
For example the XPERIA PLAY works best on GB roms because of game play compatibility. Not sure is the evo V has any of these catches.
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
Kitkat is still in testing
Jb mostly work well
Ics is solid
Gb is solid
General rule of thumb is if its anything other than ics sense, you need 1.50 or lower....I recommend jbear 1.50.5050

All this HTC crap seems difficult...
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
First make a nandroid backup and backup your app data and such
Then you'll want to flash a Rom that boots with both hboots (1.57(58) and 1.50)
There's a bunch but I know butterz sense does work
Then put jbear 1.50 zip on the root of your sd
Rename that file pg86img.zip
Reboot to bootloader and accept the update
Reboot the phone
Now make sure you remove or rename that pg86img.zip
Now you can reboot to bootloader and verify your hboot changed
If its changed you're good to go flash jb, kk, or gb:thumbup:
