Is boot.img file same for all CID's of same API level of same device
like i have 2.22.707.6 nand with CID HTC__044
but no boot.img
so can i use any other Stock ROM's boot.img Like (2.20.401.5) the one Uploaded by the @ckpv5 ????
yes

i dont really know, but HTCdev.com has several kernel sources for each region. If there was no difference then they wouldnt go through all that pain.
However, i do think the changes are Insignificant and probably wont affect any part of booting or running any rom. Maybe just some identifier flags are different.

When you have your nand 2.22.707.6 you should have backup the boot.img too...
just check it is not boot.img but is named as boot.emmc.win
So instead of fastboot flash boot boot.img
you do fastboot flash boot boot.emmc.win
Why do you need the boot.img for 2.20.401.5 when there is one for 2.22.707.6 here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2324815

Thanks,
one more Ques.
nands are directly flashable via Fastboot? like of recovery and boot image?
No... use the restore function on TWRP.
Only boot and recovery can be fastboot flash.

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

then reflash recovery to replace the stock recovery from firmware?

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

Part 3 - Installing boot.img and booting your DX
7. Open the ICShboot_Toolkit folder and run the Install Boot.img.bat
here boot.img.bat with code
call fastboot flash recovery boot.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
MEANS THAT THERE US NOTHING LIKE BOOT FILE...WE'RE JUST INSTALLING A KERNEL IN RECOVERY PARTITION??right?
And what's boot file ? Never heard such thing as boot file.
As explain by neXus PRIME - boot.img is the image of boot partition, containing kernel (zImage) AND ramdisk
Part 3 - Installing boot.img and booting your DX
Installing boot.img - as per item no.7 (JB boot.img on ICS hboot - we flash the boot.img to recovery partition)
booting your DX - as per item no. 8 (Press Power once to go to hboot and select Recovery to boot your device)
So... what's the problem actually ??

Yes, you have boot image on boot and recovery partition.
Now when you boot normally, it uses boot from boot partition to start Rom, and when you reboot to recovery, it uses boot from recovery partition to start rom.

the ICS boot.img - so you don't need to reflash boot.img when restoring your previous ICS ROM

boot.img on boot partition - for ICS ROM
boot.img on recovery partition - for JB ROM
That's why for JB ROM on ICS hboot, you need to reflash recovery.img any time that you need to get back to recovery to do flashable zip installation... and reflash the boot.img to recovery partition again to boot your system

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

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.

Yes you must flash boot.img in fastboot. S-ON devices aren't allowed to flash boot.img in recovery, no matter if you install or restore a rom.

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.
