So several people have said that using "fastboot boot recovery.img" gives you "temporary S-OFF" when you are unlocked via HTCDev and S-ON, it is known to work when flashing ROMs with the boot.img not needing to be flashed separately, but is it really a temporary S-OFF, meaning can you flash HBoot and radios this way?
I don't think so, it just makes it where boot is flashable in recovery.

S-off is the only way to flash boot in recovery. The method described here is only unlocking and flashing a custom recovery. You will still need boot-loader or fastboot to flash boot (kernel

The method in OP and HTC dumlock tricks the system into giving temp s-off. It does work. I have never fastboot flashed a kernel. Always fastboot boot recovery or dumlocked for my ROMs and kernels.

I have a question I have not seen asked yet. Maybe someone here has more insight. My replacement 3vo came with hboot 1.5 so I unlocked using HTC's method and flashed TWRP. The nandroid I made after flashing was of the stock rom and stock kernel. Now, I have flashed MIUI and tiamat's kernel. That was a pain because recovery doesn't have permission to flash the boot partition unless you use fastboot to boot the recovery image. If I were to attempt to restore my nandroid, wouldn't it screw up the restoration due to the boot partition not being flashed?
What about when switching between an ASOP rom to Sense rom or vice versa?
Should all nandroids be restored from fastbooting a recovery image?

Just use fastboot if you have to do a nandroid you'll be ok!
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Yeah, I had suspected that would be the case. I figured this would come up in the future and need to be addressed at some point. I may try to restore my sense nandroid to confirm it won't work unless you use fastboot.

From my experience i dont think u need to boot to recovery through fastboot to make a working/good nandroid backup... However when you want to restore a back up through nandroid you must boot to recovery from fastboot or else it wont wont. One thing i find strange is that i can flash the sengry nightly rom without fastboot through recovery and it works fine but i can not do it to any other roms..
Now, does booting recovery from the fastboot menu work the same as sending the commands through fastboot using pc?

Do you mean booting recovery through bootloader without using fastboot command (With the phone connected to a computer)? If yes, then it doesn't work the same... As booting to recovery with fastboot (phone connecting to computer using fastboot command) allow you to flash Roms/Custom Kernels to your boot partition and using bootloader to boot recovery without fastboot doesn't allow that. Hope this help..

I know to flash roms and kernels I use fastboot in bootloader and boot clockwork from there and do my thing. I want to know for flashing zips like themes,skins, and stuff like that if I could just boot into recovery and do it from there or do I need to do the usual method through bootloader using a computer
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
U can just do it through recovery. No fastboot needed to flash skins or themes.

Use Rom Manager for best results when backing/restoring...

make sure Fast Boot is NOT selected in Settings/Power. Then turn the phone COMPLETELY OFF and boot to Hboot then fastboot and flash recovery again. Then power off and reboot to hboot. If it says *Tampered* at the top your all set, if it doesn't, then recovery didn't take. I had to flash recovery 6 or 8 times, but I think the deciding factor was when I turned fast boot off in Settings.
Ok. In order to flash a boot.img do we have to rename it to boot.img.zip ? I'm trying to completely understand how to flash the boot.img using HTC dumlock rather than having to use the computer all the time for fast boot.

Is this exactly the same as the CWM Recovery in the international HTC One M7 forum?
What is so good about the smart flash feature? Does it mean that I can flash ROMS from say...a Sensation? All I know is that it's required to flash ROMS if my Amaze is S-On (which it is), but I was curious if there is more to it than that.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda app-developers app
Being s-on prevents the boot.img (kernel) from being flashed with the rom. In the past, after flashing the rom through recovery we used to have to hook the phone up to a computer to flash the kernel. Then max built a recovery for us and found a way to bypass the security and flash the kernel with the rom (no other recovery does this unless you are s-off)
So in short, 4ext with smart flash allows users who are s-on to flash kernels.
Hi guys. I have a really weird problem especially cause I have successfully done ruu.exe many times without any problems. But now my evo won't boot even after ruu.exe finished succeffully, have tried multiple times. Just to mention that months before I did this ruu, I've installed a custom kernel "MiRaGe" and everything was good, till a couple days ago when I tried to boot into 4ext recovery and it didn't boot at all, tried 3-4 times, no luck, but the rom was working fine. (I haven't tried to boot to 4ext since installing a custom kernel) Now I relocked my phone to install ruu.exe, it finished successfully, but can't boot now. I have also unlocked bootloader again and have flashed recovery and still couldn't boot to recovery. Then I relocked and did ruu.exe again, but still no luck with booting to rom. Also I've tried factory reset in bootloader after finishig ruu.exe and the same thing.
S-ON

Well, go into fastboot and unlock the bootloader again, install 4ext recovery (if you cant find the img file I can help you) and install any rom based on sense which will work on hboot 1.53.

Yeah and I've tried "fastboot boot recovery.img" command to boot to recovery, it was success but again the phone restarts. And just to mention that I've also tried cwm recovery but the result is the same.
I suppose that my evo is a true brick now :/

Try 4ext recovery, fastboot install recovery 4extimg.img and after that reboot into recovery. If it enters recovery install a close to stock ics rom, with 4ext smart flash enabled or extract the boot.img from the rom and install it through fastboot (fastboot install boot boot.img).
I can provide you the latest 4ext recovery img, pm me if you need it.

Already did that with 4ext and cwm but none of them won't boot to recovery, but for the rom, i did ruu.exe after flashing recovery (that won't boot) and after relocking, then I unocked bootloader and flashed boot.img from the same ruu.zip, but no results, bootlooping. I think nothing can be done, it's a brick.

You flashed the ruu with the exe though windows or through sdcard? Did you try to remove the sdcard? Try fastboot wipe or format recovery before installing the new img.
