[Q] What gives? Can't ADB bootimg - HTC Rezound

OK so for reasons beyond me, I can't flash any sense 4.0 roms due to constant boot up as if kernel is not installing, even tho sense 3.6 kernels and roms install just fine. Also I can lock and unlock bootloader thru ADB and well and flash recovery, but if I try flashing bootimg I get an error "device not found" message??? I am s-on, on global firmware and prior to this problem was running cm9. I've RUUed back to stock several times with the problem still continuing. ALL, and I do all help is appreciated.

You try adb devices?
Did you try to fastboot flash boot nameofimage.img?

You cant do it in adb. You must be in fastboot. Make sure the device is seen by typing "fastboot devices" while in fastboot. Then flash the boot.img with "fastboot flash boot boot.img"

Not sure... boot your phone to bootloader by using "adb reboot bootloader" then see if it shows up when you type "fastboot devices". if it does then you should be good to go

Got " fastboot devices" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

You have to download it seperately... I cant look right now but a quick google search on rezound fastboot should do it. It isnt included with adb
Edit: got a chance to look it up. here you go. put the boot.img file in the same directory that this is installed and then do the previously mentioned steps.

Easiest way I find to get the right directory is to browse on your computer to the folder where fastboot.exe is located. For me it's C:\Android SDK\platform-tools
In other words when I open that platform tools folder the contents are adb.exe, fastboot.exe, good stuff like that.
So my exact steps are press start button in windows, choose "computer" from the start menu. Double click the C driver, double click Android SDK and then I'll see platform tools.
**Here's the important part**
Hold down shift, right click on "platform tools" and then choose the option "Open Command Window Here" from the right click dialog box. Holding shift gives you those extra options. I would have my boot.img file inside the platform tools folder because that's where fastboot.exe is located.
So shift and right click on platform tools, then click on "Open Command Window Here" and then make sure the phone is in fastboot-usb mode (boot to hboot and if it doesn't say fastboot USB at the top in bright red, you need to select fastboot from the list), and type the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" without the quotes and press enter. When It's done writing use the command fastboot reboot or manually reboot and you should be good to go.

Think I've figured out the problem. It's not fastboot, but somewhere in the installation of the kernel. Kernel installs but the only kernels that will boot are 3.6 ones. All others regardless of kernel or Rom combo simply continuously boots or bootloops. Also computer see device in fastboot.... I'm clueless at this point.
