Sorry, newb here!
So I'm a lil confused about hboot 1.5 :
Can I flash Roms using Flash Image GUI? Any?
And how?
When do i need to use fastboot?
I don't want to use my pc at all, or the less possible tbh.

You can flash roms using a computer with no issues lol using fastboot boot recovery.img in hboot with ADB.. You have to put a copy of your recovery.img in your adb folder for this method to work not hard at all.
You can use flash GUI to flash kernels and flash the rom in recovery .... You may wanna read up on the guy that made the app he has instructions...
I have used the app in the past not a bad thing to have... Tho I prefer using the computer always a one stop shop for me

Yeah but i travel a lot and don't have time to use my laptop, thanks anyways! Didn't know that!

Just download from the market the Flash GUI app and you can flash any boot.img (kernel) first and then flash the ROM and you should be all set.
Yes, if you travel alot then Flash Image GUI would be for you.
the pg86100 is the htc evo 3d if i am not mistaken and i have one and have hboot 1.5 also, i see you have boot manager listed as one of your apps. you can use this app as well with hboot 1.5 and still flash your heart away just make sure you unlock the bootloader via HTC's method and have root access and youll be good to go
Thanks guys, another question, whats the best recovery for hboot 1.5?
thats is all what you like to use... i personally use the clockworkmod recovery version 4.0.1.4

I found this video tutorial online of a guy rooting hboot 1.50 and at the end he flashes a Rom I believe Synergy 3.0 without using fastboot from the computer. He went into recovery and just flashed like normal. He said S-on doesn't mean anything. Unless you're flashing a kernel. Is he right?

i know with my evo 3d you can flash and rom from the recovery ... you just save the rom in its zip format to your sdcard and when in recovery mode that i use i just select " install zip from sdcard" and guide it to said rom then once selected it will begin an install process... now keep in mind that if your info is not backed up you will lose it... and you can still use the kernel that comes with the rom to flash it is just the same... it should be in the boot.img area of the rom you saved

Alright so I can flash from recovery a Rom that has a kernel already baked into it. But if i want to flash only a kernel, I have to use the computer or the other app?

It's essentially a snapshot of your current phone. In case that new kernel or rom put you in a bootloop or you wanna revert back.

you definitely do not need that app if youre flashing roms only...just keep a back up in case the rom is no good then you have the original to go back to

I just recently switched back from the leaked Ice Cream Sandwich RUU by changing the main ver and uploaded the oldest ruu (1.02 etc) and was going to just update through OTA to the latest version of the htc Rezound. I the found out that when I tried to update it, recovery (amon ra recovery) was still present and it tried updating through that, which failed. Can anyone help me out with removing recovery?
in order to ruu, you need to install stock recovery which amonra recovery will be removed as well. download: http://db.tt/tw5m33ZG

i use cleanflash 1.0 for boot.img and recovery.img.
http://www.scottsroms.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=57
or use adb and flash using this command "fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img"
if you are using cleanflash 1.0, after downloading the stock recovery,
unzip then put the img file in the same folder as the tool the rename it to "recovery.img"
then use the tool and flash
make sure usb debugging is enabled, usb mode is on charging and htc sync on your computer is disabled before using the tool!!!!

If op is doing this to try and get the OTA, it won't happen, due to flashing the .22 leak.

There's a guide in the development section that can get you to switch your main ver to whatever number you want. I put it a 1.00.000.00 and then it automatically switched to the first main ver (when the htc rezound was officially released). Now I've got a problem because my phone won't read my sd card (even though it's working, i plugged it into the computer and it worked), it won't let me flash any RUUs in bootloader, every time i try to turn the phone on it goes straight to fastboot so I can't even access the phone, and where it should say locked or unlocked (in fastboot/bootloader) it has 3 lines that look like this:
***TAMPERED***
***RELOCKED***
***SECURITY WARNING***
Also, I was using the original stock rom for a couple of days before this happend, so that part was working fine. But Ive never experienced this before and this is my third or fourth time going through this exact same process.
Edit: I also forgot to mention that the recovery is now stock recovery again, as you could probably tell, it's relocked, I'm pretty sure it's unrooted, but I can't tell, and lastly, after multiple tires, I could not get the OTA update to work at all. I kept getting error/fail messages.
A couple of things. First you can't ruu back. Your hboot was updated. Second that TAMPERED message tells me that are not on the stock recovery, it only says that when a non stock recovery is installed. If you are just looking to get GB back on the phone, I made a guide in the general section. Search for "how to go back to GB from leaked ICS.

Thanks, and I did re install the stock recovery and have checked several times and there's no more recovery. But I'm back on GB now, I was just trying to get the OTA. Now I'm trying to get my phone to turn on because every time I power it on, it goes straight to fastboot, so I can't access it. So if you have any ideas on that to help me out, that would be awesome.

Do I have to do that if my phone's already on GB?
Now it won't let me get into recovery because it keeps trying to update the the software from OTA but that fails and then it gets stuck at phone with a red triangle infront/ontop of it.
Edit: I actually realized it was doing that because the recovery still wasn't there, so i went back to the command prompt and looked and saw that it said that flashing the recovery had failed. so then I went and got the newer amon ra recovery and tried flashing that, still said it failed and still wasn't there. What is going on with my phone?

Ok command prompt said it was a success, but nothing happened on the phone, I'm still going to infer that it was a success. Now what did the kernel update do? Will i be able to update via OTA?
Firstly, my apologies if this is the wrong forum.
Secondly, thank you in advance for any assistance.
Ever since flashing that alternative CWM recovery, I am unable to flash the stock recovery, S-ON and relocked. ADB shows recovery flashed successfully, though "unable to find device" or something prior to that in CMD. Interestingly, I was still able to flash T-Mobile ICS ROM over FastAmaze. Every time I try to access the recovery via bootloader I get the phone icon with the green update symbol then the red exclamation mark. Any ideas?
How do u knowingly post in the wrong section? Why not post in the right section in the first place. If u flashed ics while s-on and locked then u must have used the ruu in bootloader so it flashed stock recovery, so reflash recovery using the all in one tool after u unlock again.

Yup, stock recovery would be nice, but seems to not take despite many efforts.
Don't overthink this. With a locked bootloader, flash stock ruu and it will restore back to stock.
That symbol u see is the stock symbol. I don't think there is a such thing as a stock recovery because u have to be unlocked to flash a custom recovery

Try using the Amaze AIO Toolkit to flash stock recovery
Hi guys. As the title says, I may have bricked my rezound. I had rooted my phone using Hasoon2000's All-In-One-Kit to root. After successfully rooting, I used Hasoon2000's S-Off Toolkit. That's where the problem occurred. I may not have read the directions closely enough, but now, I always get stuck at the JuopunutBear screen. This screen only has the icon image. There are no options or settings to choose from. I can still access bootloader and flash Amon Ra recovery. From there, I have tried restoring a Nand backup I had made before. But even after I restore the backup and reboot, I still end up at the JuopunutBear screen.
I hope that someone, anyone will be able to help me out. Thanks in advance.

Sadly, that did not solve the problem. Nothing has changed. When I reboot, it still shows the HTC screen twice, then goes to JuopunutBear screen.
Just FIY, I used the command: fastboot flash recovery rezound-recovery.img
Can you get into Recovery? Sorry, just re-read the OP and it looks like you can. Here's what I would try next: In Recovery, wipe everything and then flash the RUU back to plain jane stock. If that doesn't work my guess is that you'll have to try to get back to S-on.
Good luck!

if you've flashed a stock RUU, you need to relock as well. Go into fastboot and run "fastboot oem lock"
If that doesn't fix it (^what Shrike said ^), go to your sd card and delete the PH98IMG.zip file. Then after you re-lock, flash the RUU in recovery, not bootloader (although you may get taken there after it installs a new PHIMG file), just to be sure.

You didn't successfully s off. Try again later on now that you know the procedure to recovery.
But I will say this, keep it unlocked and on 2.25 hboot and 1.22 radios. With that setup you are near unbrickable and also have the OTA firmware.
Just takes you a couple extra steps to flash a rom.

So I recently switched over to the Evo 4g LTE and I'm trying to get everything set up to flash ROMs and such.
I unlocked the bootloader, rooted, and installed TWRP 2.3. I tried to flash the latest Viper 4g ROM but it wouldn't go past the boot screen so I figured I must not have something set up correctly.
Still a little iffy on the S-Off, S-On and if that has anything to do with it. I have extensive experience with flashing on Samsung phones so the switch to HTC has me a little lost. Thanks for the help.
