Awesome sauce, thank you :good:
@dottat is it possible to write a script for those for the n00bs that may be the faint of heart type? Like a flash-all deal? I'm good with manually flashing them all individually but for those that aren't that would be dope.. Can you even do that with the .img's for HTC devices?

When sending boot image after i use fastboot erase boot commend, it just stuck on sending 'boot' <16384 kb> and nothing happens. Any help suggestion?
...Send boot.img when flashing boot. Send system when sending system. Can't flash system into boot partition
The boot partition is only 16 megs so if you try to flash a 2 gig file into it you'll prolly hang.
Flashing the 2gig system.img to the system partition properly will likely take some time. You have screenshots?

That's exactly what i did following your instruction. Here's the steps i did (BTW: I will take screenshots as soon as i am home)
1) Went into TWRP and performed a wipe (Data, cache and system)
2) Connect MAX to PC (Win 7 64bit)
3) Go into Fastboot mode (tested using Fastboot devices and results came back with serial number)
4) Copied System and Boot img into the same folder as Fastboot/ADB
5) Issue commend: fastboot flash boot boot.img ---- Error: 1st it was stuck on sending, nothing happens for like 10 minutes, unplug then tried Run CMD with local admin, got a different error msg, this time it says FAILED (remote: not allowed)
6) Then I tried flash just system.img using fastboot flash system system.img --- got error: cannot load 'system.img': Not enough space
I then went back into TWRP, basically did a complete wipe of everything (lucky TWRP was intact), went back into Fastboot mode and did another erase.
1) Enter Fastboot mode and issued: Fastboot erase boot, recovery and system -- All went fine
2) Then tried flash individual recovery/boot/system into its partition, same error msg as above
I thought i am toast for sure, but upon rebooting, i still have TWRP and Thank God i had a Full Backup stored on my external SD card, I just did a restore and everyone is back to where i left off..
thanks for your quick response

BTW: Reason I need to flash the Stock Rom is because my One Max has this weird charging problem, where once the phone is turned on, it only charges to 35-37% and it stops, however if I leave it powered off and charge, it charges to 100% all the way. It must be a software issue and since I am using it on AT&T, Verizon CS and retail store doesn't even want to offer at help. So, i am kinda stuck with fixing the issue myself.

Are you unlocked? Because remote not allowed word indicates you are not. Can you confirm?
If your kernel is what got hosed you always flash my boot.IMG using the app flashify from the market from a booted rooted rom....assuming you are unlocked. Otherwise you will have create a flashable 0p3img.zip file and flash your kernels from hboot.

Yes, i am unlocked and S-OFF and rooted.
Tried another PC and using factory HTC cable, still the same error when flashing system.
Now, if the issue is with my OS, all i need to flash is just System.img and nothing else, right?

Flash boot.img from SDcard, everything went fine, just rebooted the phone, no issues. Now, how do i flash the System.IMG, which is the key to hopfully solve the battery charing issue? thanks
It should be via fastboot...but your fast boot install doesn't seem to like flashing anything to your phone. Do you have any other pcs you can try and can you see if your charging issue was fixed before proceeding ?

Wow, i am amazed, just flashing the boot.img and my phone starts chargin pass 37% now while the phone is powered on. Maybe i don't need to flash system.img after all. You rocks dude, thanks so much. Keep up the good work !!!
for what its worth,ive never been able to fastboot flash system system.img ive always gotten that space error.
ive just skimmed thru this,but the easiest way7 for you guys to flash this is to just open the radio zip and add the other images to it. then you can use those directions(oem rebootRUU,etc) and flash them all in one shot.
i could work with you guys to dump the relevant images that usually come in an ruu if you want to make up a full(unsigned) ruu.
I also had the charging issue.(wouldn't charge past 37%....Switched charger and the issue is no more.

Alright, so i have an EVO 4g lte and i attempted to root it today. It didnt turn out very well to say the least... I unlocked bootloader and flashed TWRP recovery.I then flashed superSU, and at the same time i flashed a custom rom and gapps zip. Then hit reboot. It has not booted up since.. It will just sit at the white HTC screen. i tried clearing cache and Dalvik cache, also did a factory reset. tried flashing cm10 rom onto the device as well as a rooted stock rom. nothing works! the farthest i have gotten was with the cm10 rom and it went to the cyanogenmod boot logo but was in bootloop still. I downloaded the ADT tool bundle but the phone wont show up on the device list. Can anyone help? im completely stumped.. Im fairly new to rooting and custom roms, but i have rooted multiple tablets and samsung galaxy phones and havent had any issues. this is my only phone also, i just gave my backup to my mother because her phone broke... please if anyone knows how to fix this let me know. when i boot into recovery mode it says Tampered and Unlocked at the top as well as S-On. I can also go into TWRP recovery with no problems. just cant use fastboot with my computer (windows 7 PC).
I am pretty sure i know what i did wrong, I flashed SuperSU to gain root at the same time i flashed the custom rom and gapps.. on all the other devices i would reboot after root and then flash the custom rom seperately.. but is there a way to correct my mistake?
Since you are s-on you have to fastboot flash the boot.img/kernel first and then flash CM and gapps
Any questions PM me
OK sorry to be a noob but how do I do that? I used cmd.exe while rooting but now it won't recognize my device. Much thanks for any help!!

Sounds like a driver issue
1.Uninstall everything HTC from your PC
2.Reboot your PC
3.Plug your phone in and it will load a bunch of drivers
4.Try the command again
If that does not work get the latest drivers from HERE use the ones dated 6/6/13
and don't forget the BMP drivers towards the bottom of post 1

i tried fastboot flash boot.img but it wont recognize the command, i placed the boot.img file into the platform-tools folder inside my C drive. what am i doing wrong? its late at night and im frustrated so i know im screwing something up...
ok good BTW which version of twrp are you using? Let me know before you continue.
pull the boot.img from the rom zip and copy it to the folder you opened your cmd window from
then type fastboot boot boot.img
once it says successful press the power button to return to HBOOT and use the vol keys to navigate to recovery
Once there choose wipe and wipe cache/dalvik cahce/system/data or factory reset depending which version of twrp you are using
then flash CM and gapps
C:\Users\Corey>fastboot boot boot.img
cannot load 'boot.img': No error
thats what i typed in and thats what it said back to me. not quite sure what the problem is.
the boot.img is placed in the same folder as the fastboot application

same thing, cannot load unknown error. also i am using twrp 2.6.0.0
Ok lets try something different at least it will get you up and running
Get twrp v2.4.1.0 from http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/jewel
put it in the same folder you are using and we will downgrade your twrp for now
copy and paste this in the cmd window
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.4.1.0-jewel.img
then fastboot erase cache
ok got the twrp done succesfully as well as the wipe cache. whats next? i think i figured out what i was doing wrong, i hadnt opened the file directory. cd downloads, cd android files, etc.
should i try going into recovery now on the phone and flash a rom, or should we stay on fastboot and push the boot.img?
Easiest way to open a cmd window is to press shift and right click inside the folder and choose open cdm window here
That way you know you are in the correct folder.
Yeah go ahead and try to flash the boot.img again
As I was using CM 4.4.2, everything was going fine, I had 3 bars of LTE, and then I tried to make a call and it said mobile networks not available, I checked my signal in the status bar and it still said LTE and data still worked fine. I went to my phone settings and checked it and it said my mobile network was unknown, and my phone number was 000-000-0000. I wiped, and flashed CM10.2(4.3) and it did the exact same thing, only this time it said my phone number, but still, I couldn't make any calls or text, I've tried flashing two sense 5 roms and none of them display my phone number or let me call or text, but upon changing the subscription type from global to LTE/CDMA, it gives me LTE data, but that's it...Can anyone please help me?
Backup your internal storage.
Copy to pc.
Flash stock based Rom.
Flash stock recovery.
Perform a
factory reset from settings or recovery.
This will wipe everything and restore the radio partition.
Flash back a custom recovery and Rom.
Copy sd contents back to device.

Stock DNA Recovery Image
To flash the Recovery:
Place the file in your fastboot/adb directory on your computer.
Put the device in fastboot mode:
(Volume down and power until menu appears, select fastboot using power button)
Connect the device to the computer
The image is easily installed via an unlocked bootloader with the following command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery imagename.img
For example, I provided a recovery img named dnastockrecovery.img
So you would type:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery dnastockrecovery.img
The image must be in your fastboot working directory.
Or you can use Flashify from the Play Store.
I recommend getting used to and familiar with doing it via fastboot though.

I figured that out after i commented.
when u go to flash your custom rom back to you need to do a dirty clean or can it be a clean flash by wiping cache system sdcard everything.

You'll have to install a custom recovery first. I use TWRP. Install your custom ROM onto the sd card. Boot into recovery, make a nandroid, wipe in recovery> Data, Cache, and Dalvic, then install your ROM and reboot.

Only a couple of things I can think, which I'm sure you've already done. Have you re-downloaded the image file and you have renamed it recovery.img?
Edit, is your bootloader unlocked?

Boot loader is unlocked, tried everything besides a different computer. Tried different cord, different USB port, everything. It's like once I unlocked the boot loader the tablet stopped communicating with fast boot. Anything I try to do hangs until I hit reboot fast boot then it fails. Irritating the hell out of me...
have you tired using the wugs Nexus root toolkit? http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-9/development/toolkit-wugs-nexus-root-toolkit-v1-9-8-t2945451
I was having some trouble TWRP installing as well., and it was able to install TWRP just fine
Close any other running programs, especially Chrome. Then if still not doing it, install CWM Recovery instead, and if you still want TWRP flash it from CWM Recovery.
My N5 won't let me have TWRP, so if you just want the functions of a recovery, try a different one.

Tried Wug's, and got the same result when I got to it sending the fast boot commands. Prompt just hangs until I select reboot fast boot.

I'm at my end right now, because I want to remove all this dumb Google bloatware so badly. Was thinking about trying to flash stock image, or relock and unlock boot loader again to see if that does anything, but I'm very nervous that those options might not work because of the fact that fast boot commands aren't working. Certainly don't want to end up with a $400 paperweight...

I assume you're on 5.0.1. Flash the boot or recovery image from the factory image in fastboot. See if that works. That might rule out a fastboot issue. If it flashed it won't do anything negative to your device

Going to give this a shot now..
Worth mentioning, I ran an OEM Lock command, and successfully relocked the bootloader, so it appears fastboot is at least partially working. Going to attempt to flash the bootloader in the image from Google, because that is all there is. Just bootloader and image, no recovery image. I will post results here. I don't know why fastboot commands are broken after unlocking bootloader, but there is one thing that seems odd to me:
When I run fastboot devices, it returns the following (has been like this from the beginning):
Code:
C:\Users\saltam\Downloads\TWRP>fastboot devices
???????????? fastboot
Thoughts?
Something's not right. Do you have the newest fastboot?

Yes, recently updated it via the minimalist fastboot/adb tool. This is REALLY irritating the hell out of me at this point... Been trying to get recovery on this stupid tablet all damn day...
I am starting to think this is a read/write error.. It is getting the error whenever it tries to write to the tablet... (sending boot.img results in the error every time)... Anyone know of fastboot/adb commands to check/fix read and write errors
**EDIT**
So, much to my chagrin, it appears to just be my computer... Tried on a different laptop, and was able to get it rooted.. For some odd reason though, I don't think TWRP is installing correctly ??
I am going to try and boot into recovery, but every time i try to flash it with fastboot flash recovery recovery.img it says it was successful, but a boot into recovery mode comes up as the dreaded NO COMMAND laying down Android icon. Super frustrating..
**EDIT 2**
So after much trying of different methods, I was able to successfully flash TWRP with Flashify. Not sure why I couldn't do it manually through fastboot but I'm good now. Thanks for all the replies and suggestions. This can be marked as closed or solved. Thanks!

To your first edit, twrp is probably working correctly. Lollipop forces the stock recovery. There are two files, one in /system and one in /system/bin that force the stock recovery upon boot. You can remove those files or first
fastboot boot twrp.img
Then flash supersu in twrp, then
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

Kind of mystified with your response... Had nothing to do with the USB drivers. Found out afterward that the problem was the security that my company had setup on my laptop (was using my company thinkpad). Switching laptops solved the problem.
Hey guys, I think I've bricked my N9. What happened was I rooted it successfully, but then on flashing a custom recovery, I used the wrong image file. Instead of using the flounder image, I mistakenly flashed the volantis one. And then I flashed twrp for flounder. But after that, the recovery could not mount anything and ADB Sideload did not work. After that, I when and restore everything back to stock with factory image, however I cannot boot into system. I am effectively stuck in bootloader, and that's where I am. I tried rooting and flashing twrp recovery, and again, it could not mount and ADB Sideload is not working. I tried everything. Is my N9 done for? Or can someone point me in the right direction and get my N9 back?
I once bricked my lg g2 pretty badly, couldn't use adb or recovery.
I managed to repair it by booting a linux and manually overwrite the partitions with the factoy image.
There is a thread with instructions here on xda in the g2 forum, could work with the nexus to.

just look for the image for your device on recovery. as long as you have fastboot it can be saved. just look for your version flounder custom recovery and it should work

I don't have a Linux system and looking through thread seems too advance for me. I can't relate it to the N9. However, there seems to be something wrong partition, because I can't mount storage.

I can flash custom recovery, but I can't push files or adb sideload, therefore I can't do anything in recovery anyway.

you mean power + volume up, but yes, no problem getting there, also adb is working
thanks for all your help, I will try different factory image and flashing from OTG
The problem is your kernel is not loading or mismatched to the operating system. I have experienced this a lot on HTC devices when I screw something up... I mean "experiment"
You need to flash the boot system and vendor image from the latest factory ROM.
You need to do it manually...
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
Then reboot to recovery and wipe data. Not factory rest but actually wipe all of /data partition.
That should get you back. If not post back results.
If you are not familiar with fastboot then state so and I will help you.
Yes! I got it booting again, thank you everyone for helping. Apparently, the problem was, I think, wiping manually, that is, system, cache, recovery, boot, user data, and vendor didn't erase everything. What did the trick was [fastboot -w], I did this instead of erasing one by one. Thank you so much guys!

First question - Did you flash a bad bootloader? If no, then you cannot have possibly bricked your nexus 9. I do believe this is the ONLY way you could brick a nexus. If you still have access to fastboot mode, you are totally fine. I would recommend flashing the factory images and just starting fresh. Depending on which nexus 9 you have, either the wifi only or LTE variant, you can download the appropriate packages at https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images . Basically, you need to extract the package into a folder, boot your device into fastboot mode, and run the flashall.bat (windows) or flashall.sh(linux). As long as you have fastboot and ADB properly installed into your $PATH or atleast have fastboot and adb in your working folder, everything should be ok. If you run into any problems, contact me via PM or I can be found on IRC (Network freenode, #android, #cyanogenmod, #android-root). Good luck

Thanks for paying it forward.
I have a similar problem my nexus 9 wont turn on and would freeze in the optimizing apps screen after going past the nexus logo but i can get to the fastboot and recovery. But i cannot flash the factory image because my bootloader is locked and i didn't enable developer options prior to the problem. I'm thinking about sideloading the latest ota would that help me ? And is there anyway to unlock bootloader if i can't boot the device?

Can you please explain to me what fastboot w- command means ?
It erases userdata and cache. Often needed if you run into bootloops. But it does wipe your data so backup off your device first.
Bricked N9
Hi everyone, well my problem is that i was trying to flash Android 6.0 but i accidentally execute the flash-all.bat file while i was trying to open it in the note block. It was booting normally but it seems that my N9 was encrypted, so it said that the Unencrypted was incorrect so it forced me to hard reset my tablet. i did this but it was taking like 20 min to erase my file (the android appeared and it was over a message that was "Wiping" -it was in spanish borrando-) so i turn it off and now my tablet is on a bootloop, after it appears the Google logo the 4 dots start to move but then the tablet turn off and repeat that cycle. Apparently i dont have recovery (appears the android laid down with a red triangle with an exclamation mark) and when i try to enter the hard reset the bootloop happens, the same if i try to reboot, i cant activate usb debugging i can only use the fastboot mode, my pc doesnt reconize my N9.
Thanks
PD: Sorry about my english, im from mexico, but i expect i had explained myself.

Cannot Load "system.img" Error
Can someone please help me downgrade back to 1.5? I'm seriously so mad that I'm about to throw my Zenwatch 2 in the garbage. Two days of trying to do this and nothing. I'm good until I get to the "fastboot flash system system.img" command line. I'm keep getting an error saying cannot load "system.img". I'm so angry I can barely see straight. Can someone please offer some guidance?
Update: I found the problem. I was so mad that I realized that I just kept entering "fastboot flash system system.img" instead of "fastboot flash system system.simg". All good now thankfully.
