After unlock, root install recovery, by following
http://www.htconeforum.com/forum/htc-one-s-hacks/385-how-unlock-root-htc-one-s.html
then I put miui.2.8.24 from official website:
http://www.miui.com/extra.php?mod=download/rom&fid=160
after reboot, install miui, then reboot, the screen stays on the boot picture of miui, never changes, I guess that failed, and too bad, I didn't notice there is back up function in recovery, so I didn't notice,
what I have is: fast boot still talks to the phone, but seems can't mount the phone as a drive, so I can't load other ROMs to try it out.
then I try to follow this one:
http://www.htconeforum.com/forum/ht...c-one-s-back-100-stock-relocked.html#post2817
to restore the stock rom, there was any luck, after long time trying, RUU just failed. what should I do now?
I already relock it, can I still unlock it? if so, is there anywhere I can find stock img, and use fast boot to flash the stock img? is that possible?
Thanks.
Did you fastboot the boot.img of say ROM you're flashing?
If using CWM you need to fastboot the boot.img, just extract the boot.img from the ROM
Using fastboot
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

first of all, thanks for reply,
no, but i did try to flash another boot.img, and wasn't any luck, so each rom has its own boot.img?
Ummm.......Yeah. It should be in the zip of rom you flashed.

Hi i'm new to the att htc one x, just rooted, and installed twrp... then flash cleanrom5. I also noticed clean has a kernel, i did not see an install guide, but i've installed kernels before on my captivate. So what i'm wondering if it's as easy as....
1. place kernel on phone storage
2. reboot into recovery
3. install kernel from recovery
4. reboot
If there anything i am missing or if i am completely off could someone please help me out with this?
Thank you :good:
If you are on the 1.14 hboot (rooted on 2.20 firmware) you can't flash kernels from recovery. You have to do it using fastboot.

Would you mind walking me through that process?
Unless this makes any difference "CleanROM V is based on the latest Asian 2.29 RUU which is Android 4.0.4, Sense 4.1 and is ODEXED!"
not sure if that means i am on 2.29 rooted.

Not the firmware you are on now. The firmware you originally achieved root on. More importantly, what version is your hboot (go to hboot, and the version number is listed)?
If your phone was purchased with 2.20 firmware, and you rooted using the new X-factor exploit method, you have the 1.14 hboot.
Hboot 1.14 plugged the hole by which flashing kernels from recovery was possible. So it can only be done by fastboot.

Ok, since you used x-factor, make sure to flash your boot.img before flashing the ROM
Same with a kernel. Flash boot.img then the kernel zip

Well, If cleanROM is using the same Kernel as stock, then you got lucky. If they use the same kernel, no need to flash boot.img.
If they are different kernels and you dont flash boot.img, you are now in a bootloop
lol Universal City
not bad
Sorry for so many questions lol, just making sure i do this right.
okay so basically i want to download the kernel and the fastboot drivers posted in your post.
Extract the fastboot drivers, and then unzip the kernel, taking the boot.img from it and placing it into the fastboot directory that i just unzipped.
I then want to boot my phone into hboot and select fastboot
open the command prompt and take it to where the fastboot.exe is.
then type fastboot flash boot boot.img into the command prompt
After all this is done i want to go into recovery and flash the zip of the kernel?
Is that all right?

Because the new hboot makes it to where you cant flash kernels through recovery. only fasboot
So why the second flash if the boot.img was flashed via fastboot?
I am just lost in these. Could you recommend any reading except this forum for me to get more understanding? So I don't do anything to my phone?

It wasn't.
boot.img can't be flashed from recovery, it skips it.
Thats why you flash boot.img from fastboot then the ROM from recovery

So although ROM zip file contains boot.img when flashing boot.img won't be flashed? That's why we need to flash is separately? Is it important to flash it before flashing ROM?
Thank you.R
I'm also, learning as I go. From reading and multiple failed attempts at flashing ROMs and kernels, I have found the correct way with 1.14 Hboot.
-dl the rom/kernel
-extract only the boot.img file
- save both .zip and boot to your desired folder.
-go into recovery and mount sd card to pc
-transfer .zip file to your phones sd card
-get back into fastboot on your phone
-transfer boot.img to fastboot folder
-from fastboot cmd prompt(if you have win7, open your folder with fastboot in it hold shift+right click and open cmd)
-type "fastboot boot boot.img" without quotes
-go back into recovery and clean cache/delvik
-then install .zip that you copied to the sd card
You should be good to go from there.
If I have left anything out, please feel free to correct.

I can't find any guides about how to install a different (but compatible) kernel, zipped, on a S-ON device. I know I need the kernel to be in .img form and not .zip. Can anyone lead me to a guide, or give me some advices on how do I actually do it?
So you want .zip or .img?
At title it says ''Zip not .img'' And later it says ''to be in .img form and not .zip''
Anyways, with the .img one; you need to find a correct boot.img, then follow this;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861
Scroll down, find the ''Extra 1: Flashing "boot.img"''
If this is what you're looking for..
Someone smarter should correct me if I was wrong.
each kernel in development section comes with zip format
There's a mess in my head right now and I can't explain exactly what I want. I apologize.
I have a S-ON HTC Sensation, that means when I want to install a new rom I need to enter bootloader and fastboot the boot.img. Then enter Recovery and flash the rom in zip form.
What if I want to install a new Kernel (a compatible one, as i said) but which is in zip form as the rom. How do I get the boot.img out of it so I can flash the zip afterwards? Because I understand that zipping it normally without any boot.img might get me some errors.

i think i know what are you talking about
do you have 4ext recovery installed?
if not then install 4ext and before flashing any rom or even a kernel enable smartflash from it
you just avoid the step for flashing the boot.img manually
with smartflash feature you don't need to flash any boot.img

According to your bootloader details you are at a good starting point. Here is what I recommend you do from here:
1. Download a custom recovery like TWRP:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2558503
2. flash this in bootloader mode. If you don't know how here is the help thread you need to read through:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2593382
3. Once you have a custom recovery installed, you can flash SuperSu or other root app (google is your friend.)
4. Stick with the rooted rom you have or flash another of your choosing.

Why are you using a toolkit to flash recovery???
Just download from http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/evita
or download the unofficial TWRP from the original android dev section if you plan on flashing an AOSP or CM based Rom and then fastboot flash recovery recovery_filename.img
Easy peasy. Too many links is an error that should have nothing to do with flashing recovery...

So I think I want to make the jump now to 4.4.3 from 4.4.2. Is there any reason not to? I am running CleanROM 1.4 currently and want to install CleanROM 2.0. I am just confused about what I need to do to make the jump. What firmware do I need and is that just a flashable zip? Is there anything I need to do other than the firmware and ROM? Is there a radio too or anything like that? Lastly, can I install 4.4.3 over 4.4.2 with just a dalvik wipe and cache wipe? I have so many apps on my phone wiping completely would be a total pain. Thanks in advance guys, it is much appreciated!

Yes, you got it. Some people are experiencing some weird but minor problems after flashing the 4.4.4 firmware while still running a 4.4.3 rom it seems.
I am waiting to flash the firmware until my favorite rom has been updated to 4.4.4...
