Have to ask this as I'm completely new to android and installing new ROM's...
The instructions for a certain rom say: Reboot to bootloader to flash PH98IMG.zip if you were identified as S-ON.
Does this mean to let the bootloader preform the "update" it's found? Because it seems to do this automatically when I get into the bootloader....
thanks for helping!

I have never flashed a rom by flashing the PH98IMG.zip because for some reason it hasn't worked for me, maybe i just did something wrong.
What I do instead is extract the rom .zip on your computer. Then, put the boot.img file into the platform-tools folder in the android sdk (assuming you already have the android sdk installed). Then, flash the rom, then power the phone off, then press and hold power+volume down to boot into hboot. From there you select fastboot. At the top you should see fastboot usb in the red box. Then, type into command prompt or terminal (for mac) fastboot flash boot boot.img After that, just reboot and the new rom should boot just fine.
Idk if you have a mac, but this is the tutorial I used to download and set up the adb with my macbook. Its very easy, if you have windows, im sure you could google instructions.
When you put the ROM on your sd card, extract the boot.img and put it in a ph98img.zip file. Install ROM, go to bootloader and it should ask you it update. Update and you're good to go. Keep in mind I don't like using command prompts

To add onto that, depending on how you get to the bootloader, it may boot into fastboot initially. If so, just hit the power button on the BOOTLOADER option and it will do the rest.
I've read that the only way to flash a kernel with s-on from fastboot is you have to use adb. I guess when you reboot the bootloader from adb you gain access to the recovery partition but if your s-on just booting into the recovery doesn't work. I've decided to stay s-on (personal preference) and flashed multiple kernels with the zip. But back to your question is yes let the update go through and the kernel should be installed.

Hello! Sorry for posting this here, Idk if this is the right area for this kind of thing but anyways lets get started!!
Im sorry if this had already been posted, I have searched the forums before to see If someone had found a solution while I was having the error!
Sorry for this, but I posted this already here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1370478 So moderators will you please delete the above post! Thanks so much!
This has happened to me so many times, I got frustrated, then I tried this out of the blue and it seemed to work..
Some examples of ROMS that froze on boot on my HTC EVO 3D HBOOT 1.5
All Infected ROMS
MIUI
Synergy
Senseless ROM
CleanRom
and some others..
These are the steps I took to fix the issue!
1. Flash ROM and see if it freezes on boot, if it does start below
2. After flashing rom and confirming that it does freeze.. Boot into bootloader (Power+volume down key) and press the power button while highlighted over fastboot.
3. Plug in your device into PC or MAC
4. Make sure you have the latest android SDK, im pretty sure you do if you have been flashing roms!
5. EXTRACT the .zip file of the ROM that you are using that freezes.
6. Open the folder and copy the boot.img from that ROM
7. Paste that .img into the folder that has your adb and fastboot files for the Android SDK!
8. in terminal navigate to that folder, and do the following commands
PC:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Ive done it on the PC and most of the time I have issues.. like failing of transferring over of the boot.img.. So far I don't know a way around this besides to keep trying!!
MAC:
Code:
./fastboot flash boot boot.img
Ive done it on my mac as well, and so far I have had no errors! It works everytime.
9. After that reboot your phone..
10. Watch in awe as your phone should reboot and not freeze!

Your problem lies in your HBOOT 1.5.... you need to flash the kernel separately, either the way you described it, or I think theres an app called FlashGUI
or just access recovery from fastboot & flash like normal.
This should be moved

This.
Maybe OP doesn't know about it so I'll guide him.
OP, we appreciate you trying to help but if you follow the steps below you should have no problem.
1. Download the Rom you want and place it on your sd card.
2. Plug your phone in to your computer and open a cmd file where 'adb' is located and type "adb reboot bootloader".
3. Your phone will now restart and boot into bootloader. Now type in "fastboot boot recovery.img". Your phone will now boot into your recovery.
(At this point, you can unplug your phone.)
4. Use the recovery as how you normally would and wipe/flash, etc.
Enjoy.

Yes I do this, and I still have to do what I provided up above. Idk what is wrong with my phone.
Your recovery can't flash kernels. Hence the boot loop.
There is a program in the evo3d theme and apps forum for us 1.5 boot loader users to flash the kernel using an app in android then you reboot to recovery and flash rom.
The app is called flash image GUI

That's due to not flashin a kernel right or you skipped a part of the wipe.
Virus has this guide for flashing the kernel on his page
The problem with using this "Flash Image GUI" is the FACT that if an individual can't boot a ROM, they obviously can't run the apk.
Individuals with HBOOT 1.5 have two choices in this situation (bootloop)...
Either
1. "adb reboot bootloader" after which you run "fastboot boot recovery.img" (recovery.img must be placed in fastboot directory), then you flash the ROM/kernel in question...
Or
2. Flash boot.img through fastboot (which is what the above "should" do in the fist place).
BTW: If you always have a problem with bootloops, you aren't loading recovery the way you should...
You can either run the commands mentioned earlier in this post, or go to
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.pho?t=1403148
and download the batch in the second post "jthein1989_batch.zip" (you will still need to download and copy the recovery.img to the folder).
Just download twrp or clockwork and copy it as "recovery.img" to the directory that you unzipped the batch to... Then, just follow the OP of my thread...

With HBOOT 1.5 you "can" start recovery without ABD, but "S-ON" will not allow you to properly flash to the BOOT partition (limitation of the HTC unlock method). Therefore, users with HBOOT 1.5 need to go to extra lengths to flash the BOOT partition.

Having HBOOT 1.5, I've ran into this very problem. I'm not sure if it's hardware or what, but my phone will not run any Sense 3.5 ROM's I've tried. The phone just won't boot! I gave up trying 3.5 ROM's. I used ABD to put a 3.0 kernel back on and restore the recovery and everything is fine again. This will probably be my last HTC phone. Hoping something better besides the S2 is coming soon.
I've just unlocked my rezound and i'm trying to root via my mac. i downloaded the amonra recovery and put it in my android folder. i've got my phone rebooted and i'm in the fastboot usb menu. i have bootloader, reboot, reboot bootloader, and power down as options.
a little help?
maybe i'm just not meant to root my phone :-(
On mine the command was ./fastboot recovery recovery.img as long as you are in fastboot in the bootloader.

Since you're in fastboot usb, make sure the recovery image is in the android tools folder containing fastboot.exe. The command is "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" without the quotes and recovery.img being the name of the image file you put in your android tools folder.

I would prefer ICS.
I would read up on BAMF ICS or Cleanrom ICS and follow the steps to flash as long as you are on the new firmware. There are others but those are the ones that I've tried I'm currently on BAMF.
BAMF looks more straightforward. waiting for a response on a question over there.
What did you need to know?
it *appears* that i'm ready to flash. there are two files that i've downloaded. one is a rom, the other a kernal. i'm trying to figure out which is which and what my next steps are.
here are the instructions, and i'm wondering how important the nandroid backup is, since i'm basically starting fresh.
Download rom file and PH98IMGnewfirmwarepeople.zip
Rename PH98IMGnewfirmwarepeople.zip to "PH98IMG.zip" without the quotes
Place both files on external SD card and reboot to recovery
Make a nandroid backup
Wipe data, cache, dalvic cache, and system
Flash the rom through the "Flash Zip Menu" in recovery
From main recovery screen, choose "Developer Menu"
Select "Reboot to Bootloader" from the developer menu
Phone will reboot to hboot, you may have to select bootloader from hboot screen
Bootloader will load the PH98IMG.zip, select "Yes" to update.
Rock on with your bad self and reboot system
The one with BAMF in the title is typically the Rom and the kernel would either be oldfirmwarepeople.zip or newfirmwarepeople.zip this file has to be renamed as PH98IMG.zip and place on the ext sd card. Then in amon-ra wipe everything and flash the rom zip then from the developer menu boot into bootloader and let it apply the kernel update then it will reboot then profit.
do you see any issues with following the directions above?
so hey guys. just got an evo, and did the regaw root method where it unlocks the loader using HTcunlocker. and it also installed the twrp. i downloaded the cm10 zip and threw it on a sd card.
I put the sd card in, and went and booted into recovery mode... all good. locate zip on the external sd card, and when i try and install it, it fails first step... any suggestions what to do.
I read around and noticed you need s off to do anything that has its own kernel.
seems my hmode is like 1.5 or something so i cant do the s-off. I need to downgrade it. No problem.
bad thing is in the recovery i went to do a wipe facory reset, and now when i try and boot to system it says NO OS found! haha i power it down and back on, and it says no os found!
I cant use an RUU or downgrade tool because i cant boot up and into debugging,
i know you clever people can help me out a bit, right?! i miss my epic 4g slider
EDIT STILL NEED HELP please and thank you in advance

Pay attention to the S-On part of that article. You have to flash the kernel separately with S-On. Also there is now a method of downgrading in order to achieve S-Off. It can be found in the original development subsection.
it seems like i downloaded a RUU with 1.3, but the problem is, it says it cant connect to the phone. i didnt install any drivers or anything. so point blank, since this was a newer phone, I need to download a livecd of linux in order to get this thing to boot to anything other then the white htc screen or twrp?
You need to get into twrp by holding power and volume down . Once there wipe everything except storage. Then mount USB and copy/paste a Rom from your pc to your phone. Pull the boot IMG first and place where your adb/fastboot files are.
Flash the Rom, when its done boot into bootloader from recovery and then fasyboot flash the boot IMG
There are detailed instructions on how to do these steps all over XDA
Hope you get it up and running
I don't know if you need those drivers you talked about. If you wanted to be sure about having the correct drivers you could install HTC sync on your pc.

ok so go into twrp. then from my rom zip file, youre saying to pull out the boot.img and place in the fastboot folder (not sure)
then flash the whole zip file of the rom (with or without the boot.img that i copied) and then you say boot into bootloader and than fastboot flash the boot.img? im kinda lost right there
So As i just woke up and ready to try again with this bastard phone, can you link me to something stating how to actually flash a rom using s-on htcunlock? or just how and where you put the boot img and where the fastboot folder is etc.
Best thing to do probably is read om4's guide in the Q&A section. Its stickyed or maybe download flash image gui. The app explains the process. Its any easy solution for s-on folks.
Sorry i cant explain in detail how to fastboot flash the boot img but all the info easily found on xda.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
So when i try to send the image using fastboot, i do fastboot devices, and then i try and send. it says sending, but will stay there infinitely. I cant find a thread that talks about it locking up during the file transfer
Maybe I'm missing something here but couldn't he put a rom like meanROM ,that has the s-on kernel installer built in, onto his sd card (assuming he has one) and install it from TWRP just so he has a working phone? Then he could properly research how to get CM10 installed and running.
My buddy handed me his Amaze to unroot and get back to stock so he could give to his mom. I used the All-in-One kit to relock the bootloader and flash the "mainver fix" and followed the instructions step by step to get back to stock but am now stuck. When I try to install the stock RUU it says the hboot version is older and asks if I want to reboot. Ok, so I tried flashing a newer version of Hboot and am now on 1.93.0002 but same outcome. Now, even worse, I can't get to recovery nor will it let me flash an img to get a recovery in place so I only have the bootloader now. It see's the IMG and loads it but doesn't ask to accept the update like it normally would. No matter what I name it, nothing loads or flashes. Whats the next step?

Yeah I was at work and didnt have ADB setup on my comp. Went home and used ADB and was fine, thanks for the reminder!
In case anyone ever stumbles onto this issue, this is what you need to do.
Go to your ADB folder in your C drive and paste the RUU file. Name it something easy to type, in my case I changed it to " PH98IMG ". Then, open a command prompt and type EXACTLY as follows:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip filename.zip (example: fastboot flash zip PH98IMG.zip)
When its finished:
fastboot reboot
Boom, back to stock. Only thing I can think of is make sure you have a charged battery and the phone placed somewhere to where it wont become unplugged or the battery fall out as that could easily brick your device..
S-on users will need to relock/lock bootloader before flashing.
S-off users can simply flash using either method below. I also have included an S-off only option which i removed the boot and recovery img from (perfect for users on custom roms who only want to update firmware)
Option 1) Use fastboot to flash
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip ATT444firmware.zip
*** If any message appears about reflush and flash run above command again ***
fastboot reboot-bootloader
**** this firmware has both stock boot and recovery so flash your custom rom's kernel and/or your custom recovery NOW before rebooting****
Option 2)
Rename zip file to 0P6BIMG.zip and place on your external SD card. Reboot to hboot and allow bootloader to update/flash

i did option 2 and it goes thru the phase in bootloader, and when it boots i hear the boot up sound but stays on the HTC screen, but i can hit the vol up and i can hear the sound like it did a reboot but its stuck on the HTC screen. any ideas?
I think you will need to reflash your ROM as dottat did not specify if he had made the package for s-off not to wipe. Generally during firmware update, it will wipe clean the phone to reset partitions, I am assuming. If you come from gpe firmware, best to reflash because gpe and sense have different partitioning.
Hold power+vol up to force shut down then use power+vol down to get to bootloader and enter your custom recovery from there.

Firmware won't wipe.
That said I believe by second option he meant SD card method. If he's s on he will likely need to reflash his roms kernel (boot.Img) via fastboot after unlocking again.
@hauntyu
Just pull the boot.img out of the zip of the rom you were running and flash that in fastboot mode after you unlock your bootloader again.
Which method would I use to flash the ruu or download because Im gpe and it says when I run the ruu its the wrong image.

You would need to set your cid and mid back to stock. Then flash the firmware only zip I posted in my other thread. Then factory reset. Then flash this ruu.

You have to flash stock 4.4.4 recovery and then relock. Then you can either download it from the other thread where it's posted and manually flash it in recovery or do it the regular way through update.

then fastboot oem lock

your rom you have right now must not have ANY modifications other than root or the update will fail (hotspot hack/sd card fix/etc).

Can I flash it with twrp? Or does it have to be through my computer?
The only mods i have are xposed. I'll uninstall them before I do anything.

You are gonna need to lock using your pc so your pc is required anyways. Make sure you back up your stuff before you unlock your boot loader again as it will factory reset your phone to do so.

S-on users will need to relock/lock bootloader before flashing.

I'm trying to get back to stock, but I'm S-On. Every thread I've seen (including this one) requires S-Off and I can't find instructions on how to relock the bootloader from S-On.
As I posted elsewhere, I've tried to run SunShine, but it won't work with LiquidSmooth. The couple of "stockish" ROMS I've flashed haven't worked and I've had to reflash my backup.

Flash a stockish Rom and then separately flash the stock boot.img from the 4.4.4 firmware zip. Sunshine will fail on any Rom that uses a non stock kernel. Even debug turned on in kernel will cause it to fail.
OK so then it should go something like this..
1. Connect phone to PC.
2. Move recovery file you linked to my android folder on PC where my fastboot files are.
3. fastboot flash stock recovery
4. fastboot oem lock
5. Reboot
6. Take ota.
Am I missing something?

That looks ok. Once booted up backup internal and stuff because when you reunlock you will get wiped again.
