You can unlock the bootloader via htc dev unlock (link), but that won't let the rom flash the new boot.img, you need to do that manually using fastboot usb (fastboot flash boot boot.img) otherwise you'll never boot up.
edit....
using htc dev gives you UNLOCKED instead of S-OFF, so long as you flash boot.img you'll be fine.

What do u have? HTCdev unlock or S off? What rom are u trying to flash?

Great mod/ROM. I will flash right away.
Wrong section. Questions belong in . . . .Q&A (believe it or not!).
Development is for posting work (mods, ROMs) that you have done, and want to share with others.

I'm assuming you have UNLOCKED via htc dev.... did you flash the new boot with fastboot as part of the install? (because the failing to boot issue is exactly what happens when you don't)

Thread moved to Q & A.
As with the issue, and I'm not a Flyer owner, but when you do a new ROM, don't you have to perform "wipes" in CWM? Like Data and System?
Just a thought.

Unlocking the bootloader is not needed (and pointless extra work) when the OP already has S-off.
Try to re-download the ROM, or try another ROM. If is still fails, try to re-install CWM.

Yes, OP should always wipe Dalvik, cache, and user data (factory reset) before flashing a new ROM. System wipe shouldn't be necessary (is automatically formatted when the new ROM is flashed).
Failure to wipe user data alone may be a reason for the ROM not booting.

I was explaining how you can unlock the Flyer as I suspect they don't have S-OFF, rather they are UNLOCKED after using htcdev. Meaning manual flash of boot.img is needed with every flash or you get stuck in a black screen boot loop - the problem OP describes.
Agree to wipe Dalvik but you absolutely don't have to factory reset before flashing a new ROM. Sometimes yeah, but not always.

I took the OP to mean that he was S-off. But reading it again, its actually unclear whether he is S-on or S-off.

I always factory reset (wipe user data) when moving to a new ROM. It might not always be "absolutely necessary", but if you don't know when the "sometimes" is, than its just better to factory reset. Especially as it may cause random and severe bugs, and also may cause failure to boot.
The exception is moving from one "build" of a particular custom ROM to another (and even then, if its not a major build change). But that's just my own philosophy.

[Q] Which Stock RUU/ROM

Hi folks,
I have a HTC Evo 3D from the UK bought sim free, rooted it with s-on and tried to install a rom with 4ext, got stuck in bootloop, tried clearing cache but it never worked, tried a few different roms (not the best idea) and failed loads, the back up I used successfully before stopped working and in a mad attempt to get anything working I managed to stop 4ext as the recovery and its now CWM Recovery v4.0.1.4. It doesnt boot loop it just stays on the HTC screen without doing anything else.
Is there anything I can do?
I have tried the shipped RRUs but run into an error each time, probably since I am just guessing at which I am supposed to be using, is there a way to figure it out? Or a rom/cwm way or a way of getting another backup/restore file?
Any help is very much appreciated, I shouldnt have been allowed the USB cable! lol
Thanks

4ext recovery is the choice for s-on users so using cwm is a bad idea. You maybe experiencing bootloops on 4ext because you may have not had smartflash enabled. S-on users cannot flash kernels through normal means through recovery like s-off users can. With smartflash this is possible. So my suggestion is to reflash 4ext through fastboot and enable it if you havn't done so and do a full wipe of your phone and reflash your rom and see if that work. As for the ruu's. You have to have your bootloader relocked to flash them. You can flash them through bootloader if they were signed by htc but if not, you will have to run the ruu exe on your pc which still ofcourse needs the bootloader to be relocked.

Did you type the command with the exact name of your recovery file in your folder? Also do you have HTC sync installed? If so uninstall it. It will interfere with fastboot.

Are you sure your bootloader is completely unlocked? Sometimes when you apply the unlock bin code the unlock screen doesn't show up with Ics. What kind of output do you get when you type the fastboot flash recovery command? There might be a clue. Well in any event I'm going to trouble shoot your problem. If you could copy and paste the input and output of your command that will help alot.

Edit: let's try to get your phone back on stock and unlocking your bootloader instead. I read your post about how your having trouble flashing ruu. The first question is, is your phone branded or unbranded? Depending on either you will have to find an ruu exe file based on the region and carrier if branded. Just google it up. Next your phone will have to be in relocked state if your bootloader says unlocked. Type fastboot oem lock to relock it. Now you can run the file. Remember you must have the right on or it won't take. Remember after you unlock it again it will erase all your user data. Let me know if you succeed or not and then we can proceed from there. Oh yeah here's a link you might want to read up on about the whole ruu thing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1655832
Pretty sure its fully unlocked, I was able to run superSU, install 4ext and busybox etc.
I have got 4ext working again, the problem appears that the two recovery.img files I had tried were not the correct version for my phone, I've got the right one now and can boot into 4ext through the recovery option.
Okay, now try to flash a sense Rom like cool sense and let me know if it boots for you

[Q] Evo 3d not getting past lock screen

Hey all
I've done the searching through all of the forums on here, and all around Google. I decided today that I was going to root my phone and get a custom rom in it. I first started out with CM7, and that just kept going into an endless boot cycle where it never actually booted up.
Since that didn't work, I tried a different rom, which did the same thing, but just never made it past the HTC screen. Now I've tried to do honestly everything that I could possibly think of just to get the phone to boot up and work, and the thing that got it the closest was installing a stock rom.
Once I installed a stock Rom, I booted it up, and it started up until it got to the lock screen. It started to look like it was going to go, but just got to the lock screen and reboots from there. I don't know what to do, and RUU won't recognize that my phone is even there, and the Bootloader won't recognize the RUU .zip file.
I'm not sure what to do, and at this point I just want a working phone. I can get a video of exactly what's going on if it would help. Video is up on Youtube. /watch?v=jCF_-7ZP-CQ
Edit: For more Info - CDMA, HBOOT 1.58.0000, S-ON, Unlocked, Don't know Baseband, using TWRP1.1.1 Recovery, and the last ROM I had attempted was Sick Sense. vx.1.
More info would definately increase the likelyhood of getting your phone up and running . Hboot version, cdma or gsm, s-on or s-off, and if possible baseband, recovery and what rom?
( Don't ask me for help, as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh!!!)

Seems you need to flash the kernel via fastboot since you're s-on, everything seems to point to that, although I could be wrong..

No problem, wish I could help you but unfortunately I have the gsm version, hboots are issues on some roms and being s-on wont allow you to flash the kernel , so 4ext recovery helps. You may also might look at going s-off too. Hope you get your answer. In the Q&A stickies you will see ask team drp any question, you may get answers there also

You know, that would make a good guide.
A thread with screenshots of where to find all the relevant information with a text attachment consisting of a template to be completed and attached to the OP of a new thread asking for help. Or just an inline form that could be copied and pasted into the OP and completed before it is posted.
Maybe "How to ask for help" would be a good title for the guide.

I've got a guide thread already. It can wait until you are unbanned.
I was thinking that if there's a free app that displays all the information on a single screen that might be even easier, but that won't help if people can't boot into Android. Come to think of it, there may be some info available from 4EXT and other custom recoveries that would help, but in the worst case it may come down to just the bootloader info.
It's probably easier just to ask when the info is needed since the procedure to get it depends on the situation.
ramjet73
So... Okay. While I fully support the idea of having an FAQ on what to do to ask a question, I did make some headway.
I ended up flashing a new ROM, and it booted up and it all worked until the only thing on the screen was process android.process.acore has stopped. And whenever I press OK, it just pops right up. I've read places that I need to factory reset, wipe all the caches, and reflash. Does this all sound right?

Sorry, I didn't mean to ignore you but I got distracted with the system info guide discussion.
You can flash a kernel (boot.img) with S-ON three different ways:
1. Using the "fastboot flash boot boot.img" command from a PC.
2. Using the Flash Image GUI app from a booted Android system.
3. Using the SmartFlash (S-ON) feature of 4EXT.
In your situation, I would recommend #1, since #2 and #3 require some setup. You could also use the "fastbboot boot recovery.img" command to start a custom recovery, then flash the entire ROM from there which will incude the kernel.
In the long run, I would suggest getting setup for #3 if you plan to stay S-ON.

It would be a good idea to use one of the superwipe zip files or the 4EXT "format all partitions excep SD card" before flashing the ROM. If you are only flashing a kernel, wiping cache+dalvik is all that is necessary and many of the installation scripts already have that included.
Sometimes if apps force close (FC) after a ROM flash the permissions need to be reset in recovery, but I think your problem is related to not formatting the partitions before flashing the ROM.
What ROM are you flashing? There are usually instructions for flashing on the OP of most of the ROM threads that include the required partition initialization.
ramjet73
Hey, sorry for not replying til now. I ended up just wiping it clean one more time with 4ext, clearing cache, and fixing permissions, then installing a new Rom that actually worked. I had to flashboot the boot.img, but regardless I got it to actually start up and work like a normal phone. You definitely gave me inspiration on what to try next, so thanks for that. Not even sarcastic. I ended up flashing the Team D3rp Drama rom, and after some permissions and cache cleaning up, it ended up working fine.

Now that you have a working ROM, try enabling the S-ON (SmartFlash) option in the 4EXT app. The next time you flash a ROM or kernel from 4EXT recovery you will know it worked if the phone boots twice, the first time to flash the boot partition (boot.img) and the second to boot into the actual ROM.

[Q] Risks on flashing a boot.img?

Hi guys,
I'm getting a little problem installing the cyanogenmod 9 on my device, so I founded that I have to "fastboot flash boot boot.img" when i flash cyano. I know how to do that, but I want to ask you: I kept s-on to prevent damages on my smartphone, are there any serious risks flashing boot that way?

as long as you flash an evo 3d(cdma OR gsm) boot.img you shouldnt have a problem. At the most the phone will bootloop which can be corrected by flashing the correct boot.img from bootloader

Flashing a cdma boot.img on a gsm and vice versa can brick your phone if i'm correct.. That's why some flashable kernels have shooter and shooteru files.
As I've read, shooteru is the GSM version isn't it? By the way, I'm SURE the boot is correct, because I take it directly from the ROM I'm going to flash, that is exactly for my device

Shooteru i gsm yes, if you take the boot.img from the rom it shouldn´t hurt.. since flashing the rom itself is doing the same. It's just a kernel.
I'm doing it, let's see if it works
that why i included the OR its either cdma or gsm. different devices as far as the kernel is concerned

Wifi not working in stock kernel means that the stock kernel isnt compatible with the rom you are trying to run. You could look for a kernel with the most stockish setting. I think anryl, coolexe and "the other one" all can be set up to behave mostly like the stock htc kernel. Just have to tweak it right

I just want to point out to the op that anything you flash on your phone has the potential to damage your phone and worst case scenario: bricking your phone. Just make sure you research and do a lot of reading. But I'm pretty sure you already knew that.

S off or s on? Your phone comes s on, with s off you dont.need fastboot flash. Full wipe in.recovery > wipe all user data + dalvik and cache.
First flash the rom, then flash.kernel
sent from my almighty forbidden viper evo3d
full wipe, install rom, then flash boot.img,
Assuming you have a custom recovery installed, you will have an option to do a full-wipe.. It wipes a few partitions on your device and I believe cache from your phone... It does not wipe your personal data on the sd (other than apps installed on phone) card so don't worry about that. He meant install the rom first then fastboot flash boot boot.img in fastboot.

If you are using fastboot to flash the boot.img, why not just start your recovery with fastboot using the following command:
fastboot boot recovery.img (where "recovery.img" is the name of the recovery file you flashed)
That will put your recovery in a mode where it can flash boot.img as part of the ROM or kernel zip and then you won't have to extract it to flash it separately. You also need to disable SmartFlash (S-ON) in the tools menu if you are using 4EXT recovery when using the fastboot method.

First thing I did after unlocking was fastboot boot twrprecovery.img and took a nandroid to an otg stick. Never have to worry about getting back to stock again.

Tampered and Relocked?
Hey guys,
Just switched over to the HTC One from an S3 and boy are things different (fastboot?). I am trying to get back to bone stock and relock my phone. It has a couple of dead pixels on it and I want to see if I can get it exchanged at an ATT store.
I followed the process above but after booting into the "stock" HTC One, I still get the Tampered and Relocked tags at the recovery menu. Did I miss a step or is this as far as I can go without an RUU?
Any information that can guide me in the right way will be extremely helpful.
EDIT: I also used a CWM backup on my phone that I believe was unrooted. I am currently downloading the stock TWRP posted by other xda members as I will be unlocking, installing TWRP, rooting, and then undoing all of the mentioned using the TWRP backup instead of my CWM backup.
EDIT 2: Restored using backup posted on this thread and flashed the stock img from showthread.php?t=2270552. I still get the Tampered and relocked messages. Is it possible to remove these at all or am I still doing something wrong?
thank you so much for giving a quick rundown of how to return to "almost" factory stock....I have been around a long time, but don't return to complete stock ever lol
Will be returning my phone due to horrible echo when rear microphone is covered and will use this to hopefully get a successful warranty claim. Thanks again!

If you have already made a backup with TWRP, it automatically creates a folder with your serial #, he just edited the folder name so we wouldn't know his serial #.

I did the first part restore and boot but now the phone stays on the HTC ONE splash screen.
What can I do?

how can I get into fastboot?
Thanks

TWRP backup of AT&T 32GB HTC One v1.26.502.10 (system, boot, recovery.)
HTCOne-32GB-ATT-1.26.502.10-TWRP-stock.zip
Useful for returning to stock...
You know the deal:
Extract zip, copy '32GB-Stock-ATT' folder to /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/<serialnum>/32GB-Stock-ATT, reboot into recovery, restore system and boot, reboot into fastboot USB and 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.emmc.win', then 'fastboot erase cache', then 'fastboot oem lock', then factory reset.

Thank you very much. got my HTC M7 running again.

HELP!! Can't Get into System Boot

My HTC is unlocked version.
I unlocked the bootloader, flash the twrp and SU.zip to my phone for getting root.
I can boot into fastboot mode and TWRP recovery mode without problem. (AT&T m8 rooting method)
However, when I try to reboot into system from TWRP, the phone just keep booting back to TWRP. I can't get into system. Anyone can help me with this isse? Am I brick my phone? Thanks.
I try reflash the TWRP but still no luck
Try to clean flash a new rom in twrp. Not sure what caused it but it sounds like you rom got corrupted. Make sure you wipe data, cache; and divalk before flashing.

Thanks, I am downloading a custom rom now and hopefully it will work. I flash a unsecured boot.img into m8 previously and now the device just boot to fastboot. But it still can go into recovery mode from fastboot.
Just wonder if I bricked my M8, how much will it cost to get repaired from HTC USA?

did you reboot successfully after unlocking boot loader? or did you go straight to boot loader and flash twrp?

That's a good question, I go straight to boot loader and flash twrp....I think that't the reason. Any solution?

That is the reason. Try going into twrp, wipe, swipe to factory reset. Don't click advanced. click reboot. let me know status

Also, when you flashed twrp, you got the twrp.img right? not the zip

I keep go back to fastboot screen. Is it because I flash the unsecured boot.img?

Glad you got it working. if you decide to soff, which i highly recommend, make sure and follow exact instructions and VERIFY you have proper working root before starting. Once RUU's are released, soff pretty much makes your phone 99% brick proof, but there is always someone who finds a way.

Now go make a backup in twrp of your current rom! hehe

Did you let system boot after unlocking boot loader?
Got the same issue, how can I put a new rom into my internal storage? My PC can't even read or edit my phone.
Many thanks!!!
