After flashing a new rom, I'm not able to get pass my bootloader. Even after restarting the phone, it boots up into the bootloader. Any ideas on what to do to get pass my angry bootloader?
Thank in advance
Did you try getting to recovery from the bootloader, if you can't try installing the recovery again by putting the PJ75IMG.ZIP on your sd card then try again and hopefully it works and you have a backup

Yea, I can get to recovery and even flash a rom to the point it tells me to reboot, but thats it though.
Are you s-on or s-off??

Are you SON? If so did you fastboot the boot img?

So after you flash a ROM then reboot it goes right to the bootloader? Are you on the latest twrp? Try a stock rom thru the bootloader with a PJ75IMG.ZIP

Did you wipe before flashing the new rom. You should wipe caches, system, and factory reset.

Yes sir, as i always do.
You need to copy the boot.img of the rom you are flashing to your fastboot folder and then fastboot the boot.img
That happened to me a couple of days ago when I was going from mean rom to viper rom.

Thanks alot, I'm trying that now
In case you dont know this is how it goes:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
That should take care of it

Ok, I'm a bit lost on this....lol
After you copied the boot.IMG from the rom folder you are flashing into the fastboot folder, you open cmd if you have windows, cd to your fasboot folder and typed that command to flash the boot.img

Fastboot folder is on ur computer where u installed the android SDK. The command u use is the one posted 2 posts above u with fastboot flash recovery recovery.img or something like that use his command since mines probably wrong. The boot.img u extract from the Rom zip

I am s-on and trying to flash Tron. I am currently on Rage 1.8.
I don't mind flashing the boot.img through hboot at all. However, I can not get the image to flash to the phone. I had this problem before when flashing Rage. The phone just decided to take the boot image so I don't know what I did differently to get it to work.
I used Scott's CleanFlash and that wouldn't work. I try command prompt that wouldn't work.
Any ideas what is keeping the boot image from flashing? Thank you in advance.

I just uninstalled and reinstalled drivers and that didn't help. Everything I try ends up having the same error.

I don't quite understand that since I check connection with "fastboot devices" and it always brings up my phone's serial number.

You should be able to flash a boot.img by booting your phone to bootloader.
Then on your pc, navigate so that the command prompt is where you have your adb stuff set up. Have the boot.img file in there too, and then type the following in the command window:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Should flash.

It sounds like you're on hboot 2.27 .... If that is the case you can't remotely push anymore for the boot partition. You will have to find a flashable ph98img.zip and do it that way.

How would I go about doing that? I saw a thread where someone took one they already had and just replaced the boot.img with the one needed. However, I don't have a ph98img.zip on hand (at least I can't find one). Can I just take the boot.img and zip it with winrar and name it ph98img.zip, put it on my SD card and it work?

Are you on the global firmware releases? Somewhere there is a thread by con247 that tells you how to make your own ph98img.zip But ideally you want to get fastboot flash working again

I am not on the global release. Thanks, I will search for that thread. Is there a difference in the ph98img.zip for sense and aosp? I imagine there would be. I wish knew what was causing fastboot to not work right.

Yeah, I double checked that. I few times actually. I am gonna try to change USB ports to see that works. It fixed this issue for someone else.
This may sound dumb, what is the difference in the firmware and radios? I mean, I am sure there is a big difference, but what, other than the radios, are included in the firmware? I have the .310r and .308r radios.

So changing USB ports didn't work. I only had about fifteen minutes this morning to work on it.

I am s-on. I download the ROM. Extract the boot.IMG to my desktop. Reboot my phone into boot loader. Connect USB. Open hansoons tool kit. Click flash kernel. Select the boot.IMG on my desktop. Flashes that in a few seconds....disconnect. Reboot. Enjoy. I've done this with MHF and Tron
Sent from my Rezound using xda app-developers app
Failed remote not allowed is usually because you have a locked hboot, sounds like you updated firmware and hboot but didn't unlock the new hboot.
You might as well drop the global RUU on your external sdcard and boot to hboot and flash it, then unlock and flash recovery.
Yes it makes a huge difference. In an s on device you update the RUU which is the rom, kernel, bootloader and recovery and radio and modem firmware ans drivers. It also changes some things like mount points.

Is this the global RUU?

Just wanting to double check before going through all of it. Also, if my hboot IS locked, I should be able to just run it and not have to "fastboot OEM lock" will I?
Also, I saw where it said you will lose data. Is that internal or both?
Sent from my Rezound using xda app-developers app
That's the correct link.
You're right if your hboot is locked you shouldn't have to fastboot OEM lock. You should just be able to place it on your ext_sdcard and then boot the phone to hboot and it will ask you to run update.
Only the internal storage should be wiped, ext sdcard shouldn't but I always recommend copying both internal and external storage to a folder on the computer just in case. Also make sure your contacts are synced, and anything else backed up from the system itself.

I imagine doing a nandroid backup internal and external on a spare sdcard would work. Hopefully I will be able to get it all working tonight.
After I run the RUU, I will have to use my unlock token-> flash amon ra-> then flash ROM. Correct? Sorry for all the questions. I don't have internet at my house so I want to make sure I am prepared.
Got my DNA today. Damn ***** updated on it own so now I'm on FW 2.06+. How do I go about unlocking the bootloader, putting a custom recovery for flashing ROMs, and flashing s-off? I'm a little overwhelmed reading everything and what exactl process to go throw to achieve flashing ROMs. Can somone tell me a lil step by step what to do? Do I need S-off first?....

If you're not careful it will get you drunk.
But seriously, it will give you s-off, and the means to unlock/replace the bootloader. And then flash roms, kernels, etc.
I would suggest reading a much of the thread as you can before doing it, though.

Just follow this guide after you obtain s-off. It's pretty straight forward.

On the recovery flashing, I used ROM Manager to flash CWM, before switching over to TWRP and using goomanager to flash it, so you can flash recovery from the device if you choose to.

Damn it's been a while for me but if you look in the stickies for DNA you'll find step by step instructions...you have download the SDK files onto your computer, connect the DNA to computer and run ADB to push all the necessary files (ROM zip and boot.img file) but this step only necessary if you are NOT S-Off...are you S-On or S-Off? Also did you create a back up "nandroid" of your DNA before trying to flash a different ROM? cause if you did you could do a RESTORE but again first things first, you S-Off or S-On?

He is s-on. He stated that in another thread. Also, you can fastboot flash the boot.img to fix bootloop issue. Just use the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" (be sure you are in hboot and have the boot.img from the ROM .zip in the same folder as your flashing tools on PC, or use the flashing tool "windroid HTC DNA tool" in development section.)

Not true. I'm afraid you are misinformed.
I've unlocked all 4 DNA's that I've had on a Windows 8.0 - 64 bit machine.
First one with Jcase's original exploit. Second with Supercid and HTCDev unlock. Third and fourth with Moonshine.
If you're on Windows 8.0, downloading PDANet will install the correct drivers.
Windows 8.1 however, broke the Fastboot drivers.
Hope this helps :good:
As always, have fun.

I was installing a new ROM and mistakenly deleted everything including the rom and all sdcard files. I can still boot into recovery and fastboot but no adb. I have unlocked bootloader and s-off. How can I restore a ROM on my device??? Can I do it using fastboot? Any help would be GREATLY appreaciated! I have been trying to fix for 3 hours now
You should be able to push a Rom from your pc while in recovery, I don't know if it is an adb command as I haven't used the side load feature in recovery yet.
If you have an otg cable you can install a Rom from that also

Thank you for the reply. I was unable to get adb to recognize the phone while in recovery. I ended up restoring the device using the HTC ruu program. I had to relock the device to do this. I now have been able to restore my phone, installed TWRP, and have a rooted ROM. I still have s-off but cannot regain "unlocked" bootloader after "relocked" was done. How do I restore the "unlocked" bootloader now?
Thanks for the help.
