I'm wondering how to flash a CM ROM on my phone without s-off. I know I have to go through fastboot but can someone give me a thread or something.

I dont think its possible without S-Offing, since they require different Hboots.

What I'm asking is if I can go through fastboot to get it to flash
Sent from my HTCEVOV4G using xda app-developers app
fastboot is used to flash the boot partition. This is only useful for sense roms if you are s-on. For CM and aosp based roms you also require a different hboot and changing hboot is only possible with s-off.
I hope you get what I'm trying to say here. you cant run CM without gaining s-off first. There are some excellent guides in the general section on getting s-off. Trust me, it will save you a lot of hassle in the long run

Ok I guess that was the question I was getting at in the first place. I was just wondering if there was a way around the s-off roming situation. Thank you though.
Sent from my HTCEVOV4G using xda app-developers app
Simple steps you can do is use 4ext with smart flash on.
After flashing the rom and gapps.
extract the boot.img file from the ROM.zip and place it in your fastboot directory.
Next use this command to flash the kernel.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Reboot.
Ok any way I can do this ON MY PHONE? just wondering?

So I swear this is the last time ill use the question thread haha. I had an issue with my sdcard and internal memory being read only. I fixed it by flashing the most recent unrooted ruu. But now I'm s-off and unrooted. I flashed a custom recovery now I can just flash a Rom and that will solve the root issue?

Install Superuser zip from recovery after flashing Amon Ra. Get superuser from their website.

Don't push su from recovery, install a rooted rom and kernel.
You may need to flash an unlocked 2.27 hboot from vinylfreak or apophis in the development section if you have the stock locked hboot.

Charles is correct. If you flash superSU in recovery it'll give you.root on your.stock setup. But most roms are rooted and debloated. And come with their own kernel if you haven't decided in one in particular. If you are wanting to root your stock here is the su u need:

I just got a replacement phone from Asurion (Sprint Total Equipment Protection). I am trying to flash a rom (I have tried a few different ones) and in the process of flashing, the phone reboots and gets stuck rebooting.
Does anyone know how to get passed this?
Rom problem
I had a similar problem. I unlocked the bootloader but am still S-On running 1.19. After unlocking, I tried to install MeanBean 2.9 and the phone got stuck for over half an hour trying . I had to Power down. Obviously now it will not reboot. I can get to the bootloader and recovery screens, but cannot push a rom to root drive to flash.
I tried the linux unbricking thread advice, but my phone doesn't seemed to be recognized. Any suggestions on how to resurrect it?
Your phone ain't bricked, you have to flash the boot image first

#Root-Hack_Mod*Always=LTE
Hey guys I'm new here and need some help with my phone. I bought the EVO 3d from eBay and it was locked and stock..I was excited coming from my HTC inspire. My goal was to get s-off and have full access to my phone. So when I looked up how to s-off I realised that my bootloader wasn't 1.30 or1.40 its 1.58.0000 by trying the revolutionary method and the New way I found that I think works for the 1.58.0000 hboot s off is the Juopunutbear wire trick. My bootloader is unlocked and I'm on a custom Rom but one thing I need to perform the s off using this new method requires a stock firmware..I have tried many ways to get my phone flashed back to stock but nothing works. I have tried using the zip.IMG to sdcard and it will open it then check it and nothing else happens and I make sure i lock my bootloader back using the fastboot OEM lock cmd command before flashing stock firmwares. When I do lock my phone it says security warning under *relocked* and just boots to bootloader until I unlock. I have tried using the ruu.exe on the pc as well but I get a bootloader [140] error. I think the reason the ruu won't work or the zip.IMG is because i updated my phone with the latest 2.95 and I was trying to do the 2.89 which is the ics update I think... Anyway I'm sorry if I've typed a lot but I'm just explaining the problem the best I can. If anyone knows what I can do to s-off hboot 1.58.0000 or return my phone to stock so I can do the wire trick please let me know.
One more thing. To perform the wire trick successfully I read this on one of the steps, Verify - You are on Stock RUU (not FreshROM, Stock Rooted, HarmonyROM - none of these will work!). So I'm not able to install the official ruu but what I did was installed a stock ruu Rom with root, so what if I uninstall the root. Would this be considered the stock ruu? This Rom has not been modified in any other way besides being pre rooted. I also have linux if any one was wondering so I'm able to use any suggestions. Thanks a lot for any help I get and il be super excited if I can get s off. Maybe I can downgrade bootloader but haven't found anything of how to do it from 1.58.0000. THANKS!!
I have done s off on 2 phones while on harmonia. I'm on virgin, but cant imagine it matters. The first phone was hboot 1.57 and the other was 1.58.
I don't think root matters

Thanks for a fast reply. I am using the sprint version of the EVO 3d. not the vm version. Had to remove link from quote cause I don't have 10 posts yet....
All I know is what I did, and I'm on vm and I can't speak for sprint network phones.
However I have flashed several sprint roms and most work.
I would imagine you could use the same s.off process as the vm model.
I'm pretty sure both phones are the same, and use the same hboots
I would think worst case scenario is you would have to run the correct ruu after you get s off, when ruu is run through bootloader you would keep s off. Just my 2 cents

Well im following the guide now that i am on my pc and so far im attempting to flash the ruu from step one and i got a custom id error. I just made a gold card and im about to run it again. If all this works Il be soo happy.:good:
You cannot run the ruu.
You need to skip that and just flash a stock Rom like harmonia

I cannot find the harmonia rom cause the only site it was uploaded to is goo.im and the file was removed.
But i managed to flash a stock 2.89 ruu to my phone just now and running fine. Will it still work if im on a stock ruu?

OMG IT WORKS. I was able to restore my phone to the offical 2.89 ruu and the wire trick really worked!!! IM SO HAPPYYY!! thanks so much.:laugh::victory::highfive::good::fingers-crossed:
I am very sad at this point, one I was happy at the beginning when I followed Hasoons2000 root toolkit to root my HTC amaze, the steps were easy to follow UNtil , I started to poke into an area I wasnt familiar with, the S-Off /ON and when I ran the exploit for Hasoon S-off, trouble began. My phone was up and running, it installled supersu, everything was fine, Now I cant even get the phone to turn on. I read some threads saying I need to download and install new rom, or stock rom, . ..Im ok with that part, However I read another thread saying I needed to relock the phone. And things became worst. Now its on Relocked, S-On, tried to root , was successful, now all I see is the bootloader screen with no OS, no img, its tough at this point. But I am sure someone out there can help me rebuild and start over again. Help me please!
Need @ravike14 he'll help you out!

Put the ruu file in the ext sd and flash it thru bootloader your amaze will be up and running and unlock bootloader again before doing this with new unlock code from htc dev
If you need an even detailed process post again and you should at least search once this is not an uncommon problem and watch a video before doing s-off

I messed up and forgot to change the partition to flash the system to and had to go back to an ruu
I still had the bin file.
I flashed the ruu
then I used the windroid toolkit and did the unlock bootloader and used the old bin file.
then i pushed the recovery image and then flashed viper again and
back to normal!

It happened to me at one point when I ported sense 4.1, I had to relock, flash the ruu, and unlock the bootloader again. Then I simply used the perm root zip, flashed a recovery, one of my roms, done.

Although I'm s-on, I too have had to reflash back to stock after monkeying around with some tweaks meant for other HTC devices. Long story short, the partition schemes vary between devices and I hosed something important, causing a bootloop. I was easily able to relock my bootloader, flash factory ruu, then unlock again using the same blob from HTC dev. Keep the unlock blob somewhere safe and handy. You never know when it might be needed again.
If you accidentally flash to block 17 or 18 you'll need a jtag! Most others are recoverable.

Thanks for the heads up Chevy. Thank goodness it was block 22 not the ones you mentioned. Actually, I was trying to flash the leedroid tweaks, but from the EVO 3d GSM, not the sensation, over the bone stock latest ruu. I had just deodexed the ROM in the kitchen and was trying to see how I could modify it on the handset.. Obviously I know now that they aren't as compatible as I was hoping. LOL
How did you guys port those tweaks? When I tried using the leedroid zip from the sensation in the kitchen it would boot, but never make it to the lock screen. Same when I tried the Dark Forrest tweaks. After those failures, I'm thinking about trying out exposed instead. Maybe I'll have better luck.

Eek! Block 22 is scary too. That's the boot partition!
29 30 & 31 are our main partitions.
29 is system
30 is cache
31 is data
22 boot image
The venom tweaks were already in viper as it was ported from sensation.
There may be some smali editing. Afnan could guide you better on the tweaks than I could.
I've really just recently got into the deeper editing of the Roms.
I've been losing hair and brain cells working with ravike14 on the two Roms and the kernel.
There will be more of a stock 4.5 jellybean and a stock sense 5. We will turn these loose on the forum and let others go in depth for tweaking. It's been damn hard enough just trying to get sensors and stuff working.
Can't post the Roms in any part until he can upload his kernel source.

That explains why I didn't hose my handset. The boot partition is pretty small and the kernel image read only on my s-on device. So probably only a few bits of data got squeezed into there causing no harm. Since then I've flashed back the latest stock kernel and libs, so I got lucky and escaped.
Hi all. I just unlocked the bootloader and rooted my old evo 3d. The phone was freezing quite often so I though running a custom ROM might fix it. I have been unable to find a ROM for my h-boot. Are there any available or am I out of luck? Thanks.

You can try any ICS sense rom (Coolexe, YAS, ...).
Just be shure to have 4ext recovery installed with smartflash on.
