I am S-ON. Flashed everything fine through amon ra. flashed gapps. went to hboot. found ph98img file no problem, but did not ask for the volume up acknowledgement. not sure what I'm missing. I only need the boot image correct? any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm pretty sure Rage doesn't come with a PH98IMG, so that was probably an old file from a previous ROM. You need to extract the boot.img from the ROM zip file and flash it in fastboot from a PC. "fastboot flash boot boot.img"

after install rom ,the device is rebooting always like that
hboot-1.94.0012 s-on gsm
RUU_Shooter_U_HTC_ARA_1.24.415.6_Radio_10.59.9020.00_10.15.9020.06_M_release_220917_signed
We need a lot more info. What hboot? What rom? Cdma or gsm evo? What recovery? Did you do a full wipe?
We're comin from a pure power source.
From and educated guess I would say you are S-On and failed to flash the kernel via "fastboot flash boot boot.img" in fastboot mode.

I guess you are htc unlocked and havent flashed the kernel seperately via fastboot.........or you havent wiped the previous rom.
bootloop
and also need to know what custom recovery you installed sounds like you lost your Boot.IMG if so you will need to exract it from the zip folder of the rom that you have install and then go to that folder and scrool down until you come to the Boot.IMG and copy and past it in same floder that you used to install your su file using command promts and typ fastboot flash boot boot.img
Hi all! Just done unlocking bootloader, flash Amon Ra recovery and root. Now I want to flash custom rom but i am lost about flashing the boot.img in hboot, i really don't know how to flash it. I am at S-ON.. Any help would be appreciated. Tnx in advace!
you know what I don't know how to do it too. but there are some roms that will do it for you even if you are s-on
There's two possible ways you might have to do it.
1. If the ROM makes a PH98IMG file and puts it on your sd card then it will take you to hboot after it's done flashing and all you have to do is say "yes" to accept the "update". It will flash the kernel and then you can boot up the phone. After it's booted up make sure you delete that PH98IMG file so you can boot up again.
I think that if it's going to do this it will give you the option to select s-off or s-on when flashing the ROM.
2. If it doesn't do the above you will have to pull the kernel from the ROM. Just look in the ROM zip file in explorer on your pc and then copy the boot.img out of it into my fastboot folder. Then I just flash it from there using:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Some ROMs, like EclipticRez, give you the option of a few kernels. You can just pull the one you want and when you flash it change "boot.img" to whatever the name of that kernel is.

thank you
Sounds like you need to flash the kernel. When s-on you need to flash the kernel separately after flashing the ROM.
Some ROMs make the PH98IMG of the kernel for you and if so it will be on the root of your external card. If you boot into bootloader it should ask you if you want to take the update, say yes, that's the kernel. You should be able to boot after that.
If there's no PH98IMG left for you, pull the boot.img from the ROM and flash in fastboot.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
If it's not the kernel issue then post back.
Followed your link to the ROM. Looks like you can just download the kernel from the thread. From the install directions:
**Installation of boot.img**
-download boot.img
-copy to pc to your fastboot directory
-cd to the directory
-type these commands
-"fastboot flash boot boot.img"
That is for if you are s-on, which you are. I'm sure this will get you going.
Yes !! it worked thank you alot :laugh:
just one more question do i have to do the same thing every time i install a new rom?
Yes. Since you are s-on you must flash the kernel that goes with the ROM after you flash the ROM.
If you s-off you won't have to but it makes it easier to brick the phone. I've also read where some people have lost the use of their usb ports trying to s-off. I'm s-on and it doesn't bother me to flash the kernel separately. The ROM I'm using puts it on the sd card and puts the phone in hboot so all I have to do is accept the update. Easy peasy.
Allright , my computer gave its last breath this morning im s on is there a way to flash the boot without the pc
Yes, if you have a PH98IMG of the kernel. A lot of ROMs now will make the PH98IMG of the boot.img for you during install though, so all you need to do is accept the "update" after you flash the ROM. Or, some ROMs come with the kernel in a PH98IMG file posted in the OP that you can download. You just put that on your sd card and flash it in hboot.
If the ROM you want to use doesn't have one you can make one by swapping out the boot.img inside a PH98IMG file that is already made. Just make sure the android-info.txt file has the correct mainver listed in it.
I've attached a PH98IMG of an OLD stock boot.img you can use as a template (do not flash this kernel). Delete the boot.img in it and replace it with the one you want to use and edit the android-info.txt file to your mainver since this one is from GB days. If you don't know it and can use the pc to get it put the phone in fastboot and type
fastboot getvar all
(hm... can you do all that on your phone? I'm not sure...)
In case you can't use your pc at all and it helps, I'm currently on the global leak and my mainver is... huh... mine is blank when I use "fastboot getvar all". Hmph.
Or, is there a particular kernel you need to flash now? If you post your mainver I or someone else can make a PH98IMG file of it for you.
I used to have one but I lost it and I don't know if you have tried but its really hard to find one.
what are you looking to do
most people refer to the RUU. but PH98IMG.zip can be alot of different things
http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ull-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/
if your not looking to get back to stock than don't flash the zip from the link above

Well basically I need the txt file in the boot img. my phone is s-on and I always have to flash the ph
are you sure your not getting that confused?
if flashing a rom.
1.Flash ROM zip in recovery
2.Take the boot.img out of the ROM zip you just flashed
3.Reboot to Fastboot and flash the boot.img through ADB with the command: Fastboot flash boot boot.img
i don't see why anyone would need to flash the boot.img from an RUU. and if you did flash a boot.img from an RUU after you installed a ROM than i dont think the ROM would work at all
just clearing that up if you don't know or new to ROMing :good:
Or just "fastboot boot recovery.zip" and flash normally, if you are S-ON and BOOT recovery via fastboot, you can flash the ROM normally and not have to manually flash the boot.img in Fastboot like you do if you flash the ROM from an installed recovery.

As a mac user I tried this. With adb all set up on the mac to use terminal (the whole folder and everything was set up long ago when unlocking). I have to use the command ./fastboot instead of just fastboot with terminal. Anyway, when ./fastboot flash boot boot.img it never works. It seems like it works, but then the phone just goes into the white HTC screen and is stuck there. It never boots.
