Now that we're S-Off we can flash new radios without having to relock and install the OTA. Does anyone know if extracting just the firmware.zip from the OTA and flashing it in fastboot will work?
Maybe something like this:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Code:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
Code:
fastboot reboot bootloader
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Code:
fastboot reboot
Here's the instructions... worked for me

Got this to work; just had to flash a custom recovery afterwards.

so all i do is boot into rebootRUU and flash firmware.zip? i dont need to extract the radio.img files?
then reflash recovery to replace the stock recovery from firmware?

And re-flash your boot.img if you have a custom kernel.

Hey so i'm trying a couple rom's out and they all say to update the boot.img and every time i try do do this from the fastboot menu it says that it is out of date. i think the problem is that i have the ota update on my phone but i'm not really sure how to make it so that i can flash the boot.img from fastboot menu. any suggestions?
Check out Scotts CleanFLASH tool. Does it for you and you don't have to worry about mainvers and all that crap.

it isn't a problem if i install the boot.img after i flash the rom and i am running the rom because that is pretty much the only way i can use the cleanflash tool and the install the boot.img
Another option is to copy the boot.img file out of the PHzip file and flash it in fastboot (on your pc, not in the phone's menu). You won't have to worry about mainver issues that way either.

keep getting a unknown error trying to flash the firmware zip. can i just do a fastboot flash radio radio.img ? im s-off
should be able to just extract the radio.img for the zip and flash it.
but fastboot reboot oem
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip should work i just flashed the exact same firmware.zip
now if some one took replaced the updater script so it doesnt look for verification would it install correct on a completely stock 2.04 ota rooted and unlocked?

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.
I am S-On. What are the proper steps to flash a Rom, but also having to flash the boot.img? Thank you for any help.

Flash Rom in twrp. Pull boot.img out of the Rom's zip file and place in your working fastboot directory. Reboot to fastboot/bootloader from twrp. Command from your pc will be
fastboot flash boot boot.img
link unlock boot

For the unlock link. I pulled that app off the realmebbs from China. I've used it to unlock the CN version and someone else reported that it worked on the non-CN version.
Not sure about the TWRP, I'll probably give it a test now that my BL is unlocked.

Did you flash it? I tried using the fastboot boot command just to boot the img file but I kept getting FAILED unknown command error.
I want to boot into TWRP and pull my stock recovery image first before actually flashing this.
