I was going to S-Off but lack of clear directions and dead links and such I decided against it.
What my problem is is that I that I flashed ViperRez when It first came out and now I'm not able to flash any other Rom.
I know I need to extract the boot img from the ROM i want to use and flash it BUT I cant get adb to run on my system.
I know about renaming to PH98IMG and flashing it.
I even took the the PH98IMG from an existing Rom and dropped the boot img I wanted into that folder and zipped it back up.
I have tried to flash several boot images many different ways and always no image found. :crying:
I have read every help file on this and followed the directions but still no luck. Can anyone help a old man out..
Thanks in advanced....

So basically adb wont recognize your device? if so you could try to reinstall the drivers and that might help.
Not sure about the dead links, but I think the S-Off directions are pretty clear. Seriously, this kind of trouble is exactly why you do want S-Off. The amount of hassle you are spending on this would probably have already resulted in S-Off.

Not really. I'm having similar problems. My question to OP, can you flash recoveries? I can everything but kernels for some reason, I get a device not found when trying to, I can lock and unlock bootloader thru adb as well.

I really don't care about S-off anyway and as of late most of the s-off links for instructs and such are dead. But I just want to be able flash different Roms. Before Viperrez i could flash almost anything now I cant get anything to install.
I guess what i don't understand is why I cant get a boot image to berecognized in recovery?

Well, you could back up everything on your rom and backup your internal storage and try to use the global RUU to get back to complete stock and then that will probably fix the problem. RUU fixes most problems.

You flash the boot.img through fastboot, not ADB, right? Could it be that you're not going into fastboot?

Yes I've tried fastboot as well as adb neither works anymore , not even funky kernel. I've be dealing with this problem since flashing AOSP over a month ago.
OP try flashing Vigor360 by zph pilot , at least his kernel. I can run any sense 3.6 Rom with his kernel zip.

I ended using Scott's Clean rom ICS 4.5 Pro and the Boot image he had in a separate download worked like a charm. Thanks for the advice though...
i know it sounds dumb, but you never know... are you sure you are putting the PH98img.zip on the sd card and not internal storage?

Good evening. I am new to HTC phones (and unlocked phones in general). I am having trouble flashing a kernel using a PH98IMG.zip file. When it goes in the bootloader I get an error that says "Main Version Older Update Failed." I am able to flash a boot.img via Fastboot, but I am receiving wifi errors. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

What kernel are you trying to flash?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App
How weird that someone else would post the same issue I'm having, when I've flashed several kernels in the past few days with no problems.
At some point, I've flashed every Sense-based kernel in the Rezound dev section. And now, for some strange reason, I'm getting the error described above.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Try flashing the kernel in fastboot.
I am having the same issue now also after I flash the BAMF's latest ROM. Their update log says they updated to the new base, and after that I can't to flash anything in hboot anymore. I can still ADB push the boot.img but no flashing. I also tried to revert to complete stock by flashing the RUU and get the same thing. It's says my system is newer and won't flash.

Sorry, yes, I can do that.
That's the only way that I can push a boot.img now. I know the kernel devs have a way to flash their kernel in recovery then automatically push you into hboot to flash the PH98IMG.zip file with the boot.img inside it. Flashing anything in fastboot now results in the error message above except for the BAMF ROM.
Having the same problem after updating to bamf cubed 102.
My main version sig updated when I flashed the leaked kernel. fastboot should always work, and would have saved me from the dumb mistake had i flashed in fastboot to begin with.
But my guess is that somehow u flashed a PH98IMG.zip file that was the leaked kernel.
I'm not sure how to find out what version the sig thinks it is running but since I know what the leak was, I can edit the .txt file in the PH98IMG.zip and make it work, like said in the thread.
Well this sucks! It definitely started when I flashed the new bamf cubed rom. So does this mean I can never flash a boot.img unless I do it with fastboot and a pc? So I cant just put the file on my sdcard and reboot into fastboot? Can this be fixed? Thanks!!!!

The same issue also started for me when I flashed BAMF Cubed. Looks like dsb mention on the BAMF Cubed Rom thread that with S-On we can't easily change the base that was changed this with update. Looks like we will be using Fastboot until more developers use the newer version. Glad to know its not something I managed to screw up lol.

Thanks a lot for all of the help everyone.
You might be able to replace the android-info.txt in the PH98IMG.zip with the one from dsb's kernel, making the hboot think you're not flashing backwards. Not positive if that works though.

my main sig updated, and it is far from a brick..
Infact it's not a very big deal at all, it's something that should be avoided by all costs I absolutely 100% agree with that.
but the phone will still be able to use RUU's, the update will be ICS anyway..
This is confirmed by jcase.
I completely agree with stopping this from happening to anyone else. But no need to scare them by saying your phone is a brick because the sig updated.
How exactly do you consider the phone to be a brick anyway? JW, not trying to be an a-hole by any means here.
the only problem is the need to change the PB98IMG.zip .txt file and cant use an RUU until we get an OTA, ICS will be the next OTA update anyway.

Agreed that it's FAR from bricked, but it's just more of an annoyance. You can't use the easy flash script that all the kernel devs and ROM devs are using now. You have to manually update the .txt file yourself inoder to be able to flash it. (Or adb push it from a computer)
And yes you are correct about the RUU, you can probably just replace the txt file in it with the moded version (I didn't think of trying that even though I am doing that will the kernels that I have download from here).
I was only trying to RUU to see if it would undo what was done... just for ease of use for me. I like to browse these forums from tapatalk and download a new kernel when it's released (hasn't been for a while, come on devs ) and test it out. I can't do that now without a computer. So I was just trying to undo that is all.

Has anyone successfully flashed the RUU back to there phone? I've been trying to flash a phone i need to send back but i constantly get Error 155 which according to the readme means I'm using the incorrect RUU. I've checked the MD5, and downloaded the RUU from 2 different sites (both the exact same file), i've also tried it on 2 separate computers but the same thing happens.
What i've done to this phone:
Unlocked bootloader via HTCdev
flashed custom recovery via con247 post
flashed root via con247 post
I reflashed the original recovery thinking that was the issue, but still no go.
Any ideas?

May I ask if you can be more specific? such as; what build OTA you have, hboot version, what recovery you have, which rom and/or kernel you are trying to flash, and if you are s-on or s-off
I had a similar problem. I unlocked and rooted my EVO LTE ... Then I tried to install a custom ROM and it just got stuck at the boot animation. I didnt do a back up or anything so I was just stuck. I was able to get into Recovery. As a matter of fact I fixed it last night by loading up flashing that superwipe zip and flashing Stock with Goodies ROM. Now my EVO LTE works fine.

extract the boot image from the rom, place it in adb folder and open cmd in that folder
shift+right click, open command window here
then connect phone in fastboot and type fastboot flash boot boot.img

Hey there
I had the same problem, just when I loaded the goodies rom it crashed. Can't do anything, except boot into TWRP. Basically if I try to reflash a rom it should solve my problem?
Most likely you need to flash the kernel, use that image flash app or adb tools/android SDK to flash it in fastboot
I had a feeling
First, thanks
Ok, can I use TWRP to flash the Kernel or is there an app or pc that ill have to use?
You can use fastboot to flash the kernel or the image flash app, I havent got a link for it right now but its probably in themes and apps or original development
No PC
I don't have a PC to use. I'm wondering if I could go recovery->advance->terminal command. I see a fast lot process, but requires a PC.
Not that I know of, you need access to fastboot
Dumlock?
Reading on dumlock, else return to project when computer is available. Thanks for the help.
You can't use dumlock without access to android
So it appears
*sigh* got all excited flashed a rom without a kernel, and now **** out of luck. Seemed so much easier for my OGEVO. So my only option is to do a fast boot with a PC using the .zip I have on the sdcard?
Hi there.
I just flashed to the 'CM10.1 ALPHA3 Android 4.2.1' rom from zeubea, but i am stuck on the "HTC booting screen". I have tried to flash the rom 3 times but it's still looping. I have cleared cache, dalvik and data.
I don't really know what to do with it, i'm not that much into all this rooting and stuff, i just know how to flash a rom.
But if anybody knows what to do i would appreciate it.

Sorry for asking a bit dumb... Bit I'm not really sure what to do here: "Before beginning Step 1 of the Unlock Bootloader process, your device requires an RUU to be installed." (I can't post the link 'cause i haven't got 10 points...)

Sorry for asking a bit dumb... Bit I'm not really sure what to do here: "Before beginning Step 1 of the Unlock Bootloader process, your device requires an RUU to be installed." (I can't post the link 'cause i haven't got 10 points...)

RUU isa ROM Update Utility. I believe this is the ClockworkMod Recovery software. It's been a long time since I gained root on my Legend, so I really cannot remember exactly how I did it. I think there is something in ClockworkMod that can give you temporary root, and you should then be able to boot and flash with a rooted image.
Sorry that's vague. Nowadays, I just drop an image on the SD card, and run the ROM Update routine. Effectively, ClockworkMod sits on my SD card too, as a file called Update.zip, and I run that from the HTC boot menu. That then lets me pick any other image I want to flash the phone.
Someone else might be able to fill in any gaps.

My bad...the RUU they refer to is nothing to do with ClockworkMod. That may come later. The RUU is explained on the HTCdev page. It is just a suitable ROM for updating the HBOOT. That said, if you could install the older Cyanogenmod, I don't understand why not this one.
Simple answer is, the phone is already rooted, so the ruu from Htcdev cannot be used to unlock the bootloader.
In this case, the only solution is to follow the solution provided by blay0, I dont have the link to the actual post, maybe you could go read some of the many other threads regarding the topic, you may even learn something you don't know.
Hint: try doing a search for "blay0", "bootloader" & "Htcdev"

Hi there.
I just flashed to the 'CM10.1 ALPHA3 Android 4.2.1' rom from zeubea, but i am stuck on the "HTC booting screen". I have tried to flash the rom 3 times but it's still looping. I have cleared cache, dalvik and data.
I don't really know what to do with it, i'm not that much into all this rooting and stuff, i just know how to flash a rom.
But if anybody knows what to do i would appreciate it.

Oh, btw the heading is bootloop, did you use the proper procedure for flashing? Ie format:- boot,system,data,cache & sd-ext then flash the rom?

I laways format boot, system, data, cache and sd-ext before I flash, so i don't think that's the problem. But yes, the phone is rooted. I'll check the solution out by blay0.
im a little confused with the posts in this thread but i seem to have the same problem with all the jellybin roms including cm10.1 alpha3.im getting suck at boot screen.im guessing it may be because my htc legend is s-so or because i haven't partitioned my sd card.
if i have topartition my sd or make it s-off can you please give me a guide or something.
p.s: my phone is rooted and i'm using a miui ics right now
p.p.s: i tried shutting down and rebooting. didn't help
please hellp:crying:

Dude is trying to help, basically, if you can get into recovery you don't need to ruu, just download a Rom onto your sdcard and flash. You will not get any help with that attitude. You're the one that needs help. Can you do fastboot commands?

Attitude? Explain to me how he helped me? Than some other dude just says NVM.. Like why even post? I dont get why you guys so sensitive... I have s-on so how can I just move a "rom" onto the sd card and flash it via recovery, when you usually need to use flash gui to flash the image file over..

My "NVM" post was edited from "good luck getting help if you are gonna be such a D**K"
Most roms come with an S-ON kernel installer so you don't need to use flash gui or you can fastboot flash the boot.img through adb.

Dude,,,Mrlakadaddy asked you if you can fastboot commands, If so , flash a recovery via fastboot(adb) from the recovery you flash mount your sd card from recovery, put a rom of your choice on it and flash away, since your bein a ****, ill be a **** too, its not rocket science.
wipe data
wipe cache
wipe dalvic
flash reboot.
next time try a little patience and consideration toward people who are trying to assist you and you may get a little more assistance.
Mrlakadaddy and bigdaddy , thanks for the replys and i apologize to both of you for my rant.
See its not difficult to be courteous
