[Q] How to install this ROM mySenseRC3.5

[Q] How to install this ROM mySenseRC3.5 - HTC Desire X

Sorry for repeated threads but i am stuck on this.
The procedure is -
Installing mySENSE-dx boot.img
Download the attached Boot.img_Installer_RC3.5.zip and extract it to your desktop
Boot into bootloader/fastboot mode
Connect your DX to PC
Open the Boot.img_Installer_RC3.5 folder and run the Install Boot.img.bat
What does 1st instructions mean, The full thread is below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2081430

If you can't understand the basic instructions, you may end up with a non-working DX
The instructions are for installing/flashing boot.img to your device. For experience users they just do fastboot command but as I know there are a lot of new users like you... I made that instructions to help newbies.
Before you proceed, do you know what is bootloader and how to get there ?
If you did unlock your device, you should know.

Yes, I unlocked it yesterday and also installed a custom recovery( cmw 6.15). Now i just need to flash a good ROM and i found this great because of full sense. I have downloaded both Mysense ROM and boot.IMG installer and extrated both of them on desktop as folders.
What should be the next steps to take. Please explain.

or try hansoons kit (its somewhere in original android development), it has nice gui and its working (especialy helpfull when your not experienced user)

I won't be responsible for something goes wrong
Basic things in flashing ROMs
1. Put the downloaded ROM on your sdcard
2. Put your device is fastboot mode/bootloader where you see the word Fastboot USB in red when you connect your device to PC.
3. Flash the boot.img (follow the earlier written instruction)
4. Press power once, you'll be on hboot screen, select recovery
5. In recovery, install the ROM

Yes i have hasoons kit. I flash the recovery through it. How to install above mentioned ROM through kit.

put rom.zip on sdcard (doesnt matter when, but at some stages on flashing rom, you wont be able to acces card via phone, so you would have to use some sdcard reader)
use "flash kernel" option in kit to flash boot.img
then boot into recovery (manualy, or via command in kit), make a backup (more important than it sounds), then wipe system and cache, then install zip which you put on sd card

Put it in phone internal memory then. Or use adb sideload in recovery as final step, but thats the harder option

Thank You it was successfully done.

Great response time!
For us newbs, I'd like to clarify... This isn't an alternative HoneyComb, yet. Just an attempt to make the OTA honeycomb "unlockable", right?

Right. That's the "recovery" part.
But its also described as "root, and all". I'm wondering if this allows the installer to root the OTA Honeycomb? Or will more work be required before the install can be further changed (i.e. s-off, eventually upgraded to ICS, etc.)?

It works
I can confirm this works with root flashed and all. I now have a rooted HC. tyvm globatron

so, does that mean you could, in theory, flash a custom HC rom once we get one?
Throw up some screenshots or a video would you?
edit: oh and test rom manager and titanium backup if you don't mind.

I have a rooted CWM backup of the stock.
Do I need to restore and then unroot before proceeding with HC?

stuck on soft brick..
Hey Guys
how do you do the step 6?
I am in cmd and kept telling me command not recornized or something...
I guess I need to know how to flash that RUU-mini zip...
thanks for all your help...

No, as it says in the OP, You MUST be s-off and THEN run an RUU. Accept all updates to include the HC update and the view will be soft bricked. THEN use fastboot to push the mini ruu.

If it says it's an unrecognized command, then either you do not have fastboot installed, or you haven't gone into environment variables (assuming it's a windows box) and added those commands to the path. try that first (google is your friend and you can google in XDA). Good luck.

A quick question here. Once it is the soft brick mode, I hold down power and volume down to get back to fastboot mode. Is this correct? And I know the ruu will wipe my data but nothing here should wipe the internal sd, correct?

thank you so much for quick respond..
I think I found it here how to do that.. (for someone like me... )

root
Im not sure what this method of rooting will do for us, but I am under the impression that this will help if we need to go back to GB, or flash another custom HC rom when someone else cooks one up. I have not tested downgrading.
I can report that clockwork is installed with the option to flash from zip, mounts, etc just like the old clockwork. And I still have S-OFF. I installed ROM manager, but it gave me the "you don't have clockwork installed" message. I'm not sure if that is normal, because I don't use ROM Manager. Titanium did see root. Check out the screens.

I haven't done this yet, but I'm dling the RUU right now to do it and help people troubleshoot.
To answer your question, if you hold down the power button long enough, the view will power off, then you can hold power + vol down to get back into the bootloader and select fastboot mode, then open cmd, type fastboot devices and check to make sure yours shows up, then proceed with pushing the mini-ruu. If I'm wrong guys, correct me. Hope it works out for you.

Im not sure if this matters, but when I was in soft brick, I rebooted a few times and could not get into the bootloader. It just seemed to ignore the vol down keypress. I then unplugged the usb, powered off from soft brick, and held the vol. down button down even before I hit the power button as I was turning it on. Once I was in bootloader, I just plugged the usb back in.
EDIT: More tips:
1.After I flashed the initial stock ruu, and before I accepted any updates, I turned off fastboot in the power options and enabled usb debugging.
2. I did this from a Windows 7 laptop. When I initially tried to perform the softbrick steps, I got an access denied error message. The files were sent ok, but errored on saving. I closed the command prompt, and re-lauched the command prompt as administrator. The commands sent successfully.
3. Also, once you send the mini ruu over, the Tablet sat in the the oem loader with a 70% full progress bar after I successfully sent the mini ruu. I waited about 10 minutes because I was unsure how to proceed. I finally issued:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Once back into bootloader, I mounted usb storage, copied SU to the card, and flashed from zip

Yeah, rom manager won't work bc we don't have official support from Koush for CWM recovery so that's no issue, I was just curious is all lol. I'm glad to hear titanium detects root, as that was an issue initially for the view. Try to backup your apps, test radios (3g, 4g, wifi, bluetooth, GPS, ETC), run quadrant. I don't know how familiar you are with honeycomb to test out all of it's functions, but we are going to need a few people to test this out for globatron so he can make fixes and/or adjustments as necessary, which is why he specifically asked for devs and people familiar with troubleshooting to do this first. That's the beauty of open source, we're all guinea pigs.

I forgot to ask this earlier. What does the soft brick state look like? Is it just the white screen the the green HTC on it? I want to make sure I don't power it off while it is still flashing HC.

Need help...(yea, another newb)

Ok, I was trying to flash the newest ICS leak and being the newb I am, its borked.
Right now I have an unlocked bootloader with H-Boot 2.11.0000
I have a blank SD card and I just need to know what files to copy to it and what steps to get back to stock or possibly getting the 5/8 ROM leak installed

I'm assuming your s-on still, follow the directions in the OP to install.
Installation for S-ON Devices on Gingerbread firmware
* Copy ROM to SD Card AND PH98IMG.zip AND GB Firmware Patch to ROOT of SD Card
* Reboot to recovery
* wipe data / Factory Reset
* Flash ROM
* Flash GB Fimrware Patch
* Use Developer Menu to reboot to bootloader and flash the boot.img file in the PH98IMG.zip
* Reboot
* Profit!

How exactly do you FLASH the rom without renaming it?

I can't get past the bolded parts... How do you flash with those files on the SD card, everytime I return to the bootloaded it just runs the PH98IMG file and updates.... from there I'm stumped.

Take out your sd card, then go to recovery, wipe. Pop your battery out put your sd card back in, then continue.

1) Easiest thing for you is to turn USB Debugging on in Settings (Apps > Development), hook up to PC, and use the Hasoon2000 Noob-proof toolkit to reboot directly to recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22696442
2)Many Custom ROMs have Reboot to Recovery in the power button menu
3)Ninja grab the battery at an angle and slide SD Card out, go to recovery, and slide in while mainitaining power connection. (Not ah, recommended but good in a bind)

You need to first flash a custom recovery and then select that option (AmonRa 3.15 recommended, CWM is buggy on charging battery). That Hasoon2000 kit in last post can do that for you too if you don't have AmonRa installed.

That seems to be the biggest issue, can I flash a recovery without being able to boot my phone up... I only have access to the bootloader.
All the instructions fail to mention the requirement for the recovery app... That was the newb boo-boo.

I think there is a zip somewhere, but it's easier with adb.
fastboot flash recovery (name of recovery).img
I recommend S-Off. It makes all of this super easy. I promise its really not that hard. The wire trick looks worse than it is.
Edit: fixed. I'm retarded in the morning.

Yeah, manually you can flash a custom recovery via the same method, a PH98IMG.zip from bootloader. You delete the existing PH98IMG file and replace with one containing AmonRa (what exactly is that zip, do you need it still?)
But, adb fastboot commands when hooked up to PC can flash the recovery directly to memory from an img file. Just need USB Debugging turned on in the Settings on a regular boot to the ROM.
Sooo just use the toolkit on a PC to eliminate hassle if ya can lol. It uses that second paragraph's method. Just need to click an option and it runs the script. Now ya know both ways.
Oh, link in earlier post from my XDA app is not working :/ here is the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22696442

I guess until I find the zip and instructions I have a brick.

Ah, I meant the ROM, but not even the ROM boots because of bad flash. No worries. Don't need to be in the ROM anyway, toolkit works in the bootloader.
1) Ensure drivers for phone are properly installed on PC. (Google and download HTC Sync if unsure.)
2) Download and extract toolkit. Run the All In One exe file. The GUI comes up with your options.
3) With phone off, remove SD Card.
4) Boot into bootloader. Select Fastboot option.
5) Connect to PC via USB.
6) Select AmonRa from toolkit options and install.
7) Power down phone, disconnect and insert SD Card.
8) Connect phone, power it up and select Reboot to Recovery on the toolkit.
From recovery, you can enable USB mass storage option for memory and download/transfer files you need from your PC, delete the PH98IMG.zip, etc.

Several user reports in the forum say ClockworkMod (CWM) has an issue with charging our batteries when the drain gets low. Risk not being able to charge phone at all and brick that way. AmonRa or TWRP from the Development section are still recommended for this particular phone for now.
Hope you get sorted out on the ROM

Sounds like you're getting instructions to do more than you asked.
Go to post three on the following page and scroll down to "Latest leak and installation instructions".
Make sure it flashes twice. I just did this procedure this afternoon without any trouble.

Yes, just install the new recovery normally, will be okay.

I guess I did end up installing AMON recovery, I just checked. Creating Nandroid right now....
Does a Nandroid basically recover EVERYTHING?

[Q] stuck in hboot

I rooted my htc evo 4g lte and have twrp installed, and tried to flash a rom, when i rebooted it always takes me back to hboot screen and is stuck there, won't actually boot up. I am able to go to recovery and use twrp including usb mount (maybe a zip i could flash to help). I have searched for awhile but haven't found any real solution for my phone yet.
I have S-on, no external sd card.
If you need any more info just ask.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Extract the boot.img from the rom, place it in adb folder and put phone in fastboot
Type fastboot flash boot boot.img and restart the phone

2. Since I have twrp I put into recovery and mounted usb found the zip of the rom i wanted to flash opened it found the boot.img and copied it to the folder where platform tools where installed (C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools)
3. got back to hboot screen
4. opened cmd to the folder by typing: cd then file path like mine above
5. then in cmd typed fastboot flash boot boot.img it will do its thing
6. restart phone and hopefully work for you too!

Thankyou so much for the fast reply, and fix!! I did what you said and it worked! The funny thing is that it was my first flash, is there something i did or should avoid to have this happen to me again? Any way I am so grateful and now am going to try out team venoms viper4g 2.0.2 new rom!

If you are s-on, the kernel won't flash with the rom so you have to flash it separately like om4 showed you. Some roms, like MeanRom have modified their install script to automatically load the kernel to avoid this extra step.

The latest Mean installer failed for me, as did the latest Viper, something to keep in mind if you try those and they don't boot

[TUTORIAL] Unlocking, rooting, custom roms installing, going back to stock

Credits go to @nlooooo for starting this thread!
WARNING
I’m not responsible for bricked devices, all you do is on your own responsibility. Most of the processes I’ll mention will work with some vital parts of your phone, so if you don’t have enough courage or until you don’t understand all the things you should do I recommend not to get involved with this.
Click to expand...

Ok, there's a tool for almost all of that. Tool is updated, but you need to be sure to click the button for the right recovery, explanation below.
1. UNLOCKING OF BOOTLOADER
Everything starts with this. Unlocking of bootloader will allow you to make changes to some critical partitions of your phone (boot, system and recovery) and will allow you to flash custom recovery that can be used for installing of custom roms, mods and all kind of flashable zips. However, it won't s-off your phone, and other critical partitions (bootloader, radio) remain inaccessible.
So, I won't explain how to do that. Why? Because if you successfully unlock bootloader on your phone it means that you received enough knowledge for the rest of the process and you're qualified to go further.
This process will factory reset your phone (erase data partition) so backup your stuff before you proceed.
Ok, now go to htcdev.com, register your account, go to unlock bootloader section, for the device choose 'All other supported models' and follow the instructions carefully everything is explained in details. Pay attention to 'Required resources' on the first page after confirmation - you need Android SDK platform tools Java Runtime Environment and HTC Sync installed and there are all needed links. Files mentioned in step 5 you will find in Android Bundle zip you downloaded in folder adt-bundle-windows-x86_64\sdk\platform tools.
Here are some useful links about Android SDK platform tools, you won’t be needing most of it but it won't be bad to read.
http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html
http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=ADB
http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Fastboot
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/fastboot
Remark: once unlocked bootloader can be relocked but can never be locked again. This can be done issuing command from fastboot:
fastboot oem lockThis means that on the top of you bootloader screen you’ll have a sign RELOCKED instead of LOCKED, which is a notice to HTC that you unlocked it once. Plus they have data about all users that requested unlock_code so they can deny your warranty whenever they want.
If you’ve successfully unlocked your phone bootloader we can proceed to the next step.

2. CUSTOM RECOVERY INSTALLING
- Go to this address:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2502327There you can find custom recoveries for DesX. Some of them have a few bugs but they are generally functional. Download one of your choice, rename it to recovery.img and put it on the root of c: drive on your PC. Before downloading, read the thread linked to carefully, as it is important to check your hboot before installing a custom recovery.
Remark: you can use recovery image provided in WindyCityRockr's tool.
- Go here:
http://download.chainfire.eu/370/SuperSUdownload SuperSU, connect your phone to PC and put it somewhere on your phone sd card.
- Do not disconnect your phone from PC, reboot phone to fastboot on one of this ways :
1. choose restart from power menu and when the screen comes off wait for the buttons to turn off and immediately push volume down, the phone will boot to bootloader, then select fastboot from bootloader menu
2. issuing command
adb reboot-bootloaderfrom command prompt that will take you directly to fastboot
- once you’re in fastboot mode open command prompt, lead it to folder where you installed adb and fastboot (remark: unlocking bootloader guide pointed you to make a folder c:\Android for this) and issue commands
fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
The second and third commands are not quite necessary but they don’t harm and leave your phone with no trails of previous recoveries. Now you can disconnect your phone from your PC.

3. BACKING UP STOCK ROM
Now it is really important to backup your stock ROM. Dependent on your CID and hboot version, you can't use RUU to get back to stock, especially if your phone is branded by your carrier. Also, RUUs are only available for ICS bootloader (hboot 1.24 and lower). For JB there are only nand backups for a few CIDs uploaded by some nice xda members. So if you definitely want to be able to get back to stock any time, you'll have to backup your current configuration first. That's done by:
Reboot your phone to recovery
Backup -> Select all partitions -> Swipe to BackupThat will take some time. After that's finished, you should make a copy of that backup somewhere safe (it's located on the sdcard in folder TWRP, just copy the whole folder somewhere).
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
4. ROOTING YOUR PHONE
- From fastboot menu choose bootloader and then recovery to reboot phone to recovery
- If you successfully boot to recovery choose options:
Install zip from sd card
Choose zip from sd cardNavigate to UPDATE-SuperSU-vx.xx.zip you stored on sd card and choose it. Once the installation is finished reboot your phone. Now you should see SuperSU app in app drawer and your phone is rooted.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
5. CUSTOM ROMS INSTALLING
There are already quite a few ROMs available for our device. But watch out... many of them are discontinued, mostly the CM ROMs as well as the ROMs based off CM. Go here for the index:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35735267#post35735267That’s the Index thread I created for all user to track development for our device. There you’ll find roms that can be installed.
I have to emphasize that every chef gives an instruction how to install his rom, so here I’ll just give you the basics for custom rom installing using custom recovery.
- Download the rom of your choice and put it on the sd card of your device
- Unpack boot.img from rom.zip and put it on the root of c: drive on your PC
- Reboot phone to recovery
- Choose option ‘wipe data/factory reset’
- Choose option ‘wipe cache partition’
- Choose option ‘advanced’ and in next menu choose ‘wipe dalvik cache’
- Go back to main menu and choose ‘install zip from sd card’ and then ‘choose zip from sd card’
- Navigate recovery to rom zip you put on sd card and choose it
- Wait until the installation is finished
- Reboot your phone to fastboot and connect it to your PC
- Open command prompt, lead it to folder where you installed adb and fastboot (remark: unlocking bootloader guide pointed you to make a folder c:\Android for this) and issue commands
fastboot flash boot c:\boot.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache- Reboot your phone
The last few steps are needed since there is no way to s-off our device, so boot.img included in rom.zip has to be flashed separately via fastboot.
Remark: don’t ever forget for the golden rule of flashing ‘Always make a nand backup before you flash something'.

6. S-OFF
As S-OFF makes your device vibrating 7 tmes on each boot, you should really think about if you need it. If you are not sure about it, then it's not for you. If you still want to do it, go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2630531
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2667156Use the first link to get to the files needed to do your S-OFF. In the second link you'll find the things you can do after the S-OFF procedure including downgrading the hboot in order to install RUUs etc.

Going back to stock for official update
Now to say more about a reverse part. The point of this is to make your phone available for official updates, and make it possible to do. Thanks to Ranalakshay36 and Bedroom we have information that you can apply OTA without need to relock bootloader on the phone. However, relocking is still mandatory if you want to install a fresh new rom using RUU.
The first important thing for this is: PEOPLE, MAKE A NAND BACKUP OF STOCK ROM BEFORE REMOVING OF ANY APP FROM SYSTEM OR INSTALLING A CUSTOM ROM!!! This will make this process much easier to do.
RECEIVING AND OFFICIAL UPDATES INSTALLING
Part one:
Ok, you just unlocked bootloader and rooted your phone (no custom rom installed), but you received a notification that you have an official update available and you want to install it. No problem at all if you didn't touch the apps on system partition (some of them are necessary for official support), and all you have to do are these 2 things:
1. Reinstall stock recovery - I attached it. Remember the part about custom recovery? The process for this is the same:
- download recovery I attached, rename it to recovery.img and put it on the root of c: drive on your PC
- reboot phone to fastboot
- connect it to a PC
- open command prompt and guide it to the folder where you have adb platform tools installed
- issue commands
fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
Now your phone should be ready to apply official update.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Part two:
1. You installed a custom rom, however you made a nand backup of your intact stock rooted, so all you need is to restore your nand backup and go to "Part one", that will do a thing.
2. You installed a custom rom, however you didn't make a nand backup of your intact stock rooted, or you deleted some important files from system partiton. So, you're almost scre**d. I said almost because you can ask some of your geeky friends to borrow you his nand backup that you can use for restore.
The best option is to revert back to stock using RUU, but that's currently limited only for devices with Europe based firmware. Here is the thread I made where you can find info about 1.18.401.1 RUU and CID compatibility and a way to check CID of your phone to make sure you can use it:
Get CID and RUU 1.18.401.1 Compatibility
RUU Download page
To run RUU you need to relock your bootloader. This is how you can do it:
- reboot phone to fastboot
- connect it to a PC
- open command prompt and guide it to the folder where you have adb platform tools installed
- issue command
fastboot oem lock- the phone should restart automatically and you'll have a sign RELOCKED on the top of bootloader screen.
After you successfully relock bootloader you can run RUU directly from fastboot. With earlier HTC models there was I a way to bypass CID checking and use any RUU to revert back to stock using a GoldCard, but someone told me that it's not possible with Desire X.
Remark: once you relock bootloader it can be unlocked again in the same way you did it for the first time, and, of course, it will factory reset you phone. Also, going in this order is mandatory, cause if you relock bootloader before you flash stock recovery, you won't be able to do that with relocked bootloader
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you can't run a RUU because of incompatible CID, you have to have a nand backup ready for restoring or else to find one in the forums. Here is a thread with different nand backups incompatible from the RUUs:
ICS nandroid backups
Follow the instructions in the above thread to restore your backup.

Nice on nlo, will hopefully stop alot of the questions

Good job writing this tutorial!
One small remark: unlocking bootloader via htcdev will hard-reset the device so all data on the phone will be lost. Might be useful to mention this so users can back-up as much as possible on an un-rooted device.

Of course you can, factory reset deletes only data partition while all others stay intact, and Superuser app is located on system partition, while bootloader can't be accessed from there, only from fastboot.

thanks. and one last question. you gave 3 links to download for cwm recovery. which of those three are the best cwm for you?

For me the best is 4ext, but it's not released yet for our device.
I would go with Claudyy's version.since it doesn't have a screen shift bug.

Help!!! My Rezound got bricked!! :'(

Ok... This is my 4th android phone.. And I love this phone... And only had it for a week.... and just now got it bricked.... here's what happen... Today I tried to flash a sense 4.1 rom, but im so new at this, and I'm half way done, and I went in a rush because I was nervous, and I accidentally press "install and keep data" and that was my mistake. I factory reset it b4 so I tried to flash it... So I thought it wouldn't be a problem. So I waited till the phone finish flashing. And when I rebooted the phone.... Nothing happened, just stuck on the white screen.... vibrating and etc... And I tried to restore all my data in clockworkmod recovery like I never even tried flashed it.. and it kept saying "won't mount sd card" and I tried to clear my cache/dalvik-cache, and like it still wont fix the issue. I even tried to restore wat I backup b4 I tried to flash it... and It was gone!!! Even my windows 8 laptop won't even detect my resound nor my sd card(unless its on a different android). But How can I fix my Rezound?!? plzzzz How can I fix this soft bricked issue? pllzzzzzzz help!!!

Im assuming you already have adb installed
Download this file
http://www.mediafire.com/download/oa2sjlvrecx0wdn/recovery-ra-vigor-3.16-gnm.img.zip
Extract the recovery img
Put it in the adb folder
Load into fastboot
Open up the terminal
Put "cd" then hit space
Drag and drop the adb folder into the terminal window then hit enter
Now use this command to flash that recovery "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (without the quotation marks)
Now go into recovery Find "format data system cache ect."
Go to format all to ext3 once that is done hit return
Flash your prefered rom from the flash menu and all that
Once you are done return to the main menu and go to "developer menu"
Then reboot to bootloader
Now go into your rom that you downloaded on your pc and find the rom now open it and get the boot.img
Copy the boot.img file to your adb folder
Open up terminal again and this time use the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" in terminal its going to say sending then writing usually takes a couple of seconds
now just go to the reboot option and your rom should work
Now remember that since you are s on you need to get the boot.img file from EVERY rom you install and flash it thru the terminal in order to get your rom working

If you are S-ON, you are likely not bricked, it's almost impossible to completely brick when you are S-ON.
Why do people keep telling occasional flashers that are S-ON to do this?!?!? It is the hard way, also don't use Amon Ra, is it outdated and known to cause issues with current ROMs, use TWRP or CWM recovery!!! Also, verify your ROM is specifically for the HTC Rezound, check the Developer threads here and make sure it is stable and widely used unless you really know what you are doing.
Although xkjonathanxk is on the right track, he is making more complicated than it needs to be...
- Download the first link in the first post of this thread and place it on the root of your SD card: [Tool] - 3/24 - CleanWIPE 1.0 - Wipe 5 or 10x before ROM install! - 1heffer Edition! (CleanWIPE formats all the necessary partitions for you, and prepares the phone for a new ROM)
- Download TWRP or CWM Rececovery (one of the first two links in post 1) and extract the recovery*.img and place it in the adb folder that contains fastboot.
- Download a tested and verified ROM of choice and place it on the root of your SD card
- Now, reboot into fastboot, remove battery and hold down Power and Vol Dn, once the menu comes up select Fastboot and press power, connect phone to PC
- In ADB enter the command "fastboot devices", if it shows a device continue, if not report back please
- Now enter the command "fastboot boot recovery.img" and TWRP (or CWM) should open on the device in a few seconds (replace recovery.img with whatever the name of the xxxx.img file is from TWRP or CWM archive)
- Install the CleanWIPE zip from above
- Install ROM zip image
- Reboot and enjoy the goodness
Remember to give the ROM some time to settle down on the first boot, and that the first boot can take a long time, like a painfully wrong "WTF did I do to ruin my device!" long time, but give it a solid 10 minutes before doing anything else.

For the things you need to do, its not much different than Windows. Download and install adb, copy images to same places, and the commands are pretty much the same. If you can dualboot you obviously have some knowledge of such things.
If this is all do difficult, just grab a thumb drive, put mini-adb, recovery.img, and your ROM on it and go to a buddies computer with Win7 for 20 minutes and get it done that way.
I know this seems like a huge, potentially fatal problem, but it is minor...
Another thought I had... Download TWRP, go into CWM recovery and copy the TWRP file and ROM to the sd card, and FLASH TWRP recovery ZIP with CWM recovery, reboot into recovery and you will then be on TWRP and you can use TWRP's HTC Dumlock to flash the ROM and the boot.img without a PC at all... In theory, it should work.
