Errr...this may sound a little patronizing, but you need to flash boot.img (extract it from the mikrunny zip file) manually using fastboot.
For further details, use search.

And once more, we should have stayed with xtc and revolutionary to unlock. Thx htc nice attempt, but next time pls unlock everything or leave it be (or at last state the additional needs at the form maybe there a bit more users read it), at least for those devices that already got unlock methods.

You need to extract boot.img from the mikrunny.zip file and place it in your android tools folder (where you have your adb and fastboot batch files)
Then boot into fastboot on your phone, and after making sure your device is detected... type the following command;
fastboot flash boot boot.img
no need to rename anything.
To read about fastboot and adb setup in detail, click on the link under Helpful Links in my signature.
You need to flash the specific boot.img extracted from each particular ROM every time you flash a new ROM in the future.
P.S : I can't see the attachment you posted... maybe you need to reupload it.

There is a perfect guide [Guide] How to root, install EXT4 recovery and custom ROM on HBOOT 2.00.0002, but it is not in the Index yet. I suggested to the author to inform ben_pyett, but he did not for some reason. I will post the link in the Index thread

Not near PC this evening, so please remind me by posting in index thread or pm
Add well as adding to index I'll also attempt to get this guide made into a sticky, as the constant new posts by HTCdev users suffering boot loops is unfortunately getting a little tedious.....it's just like back in the early days of revolutionary release

Rooting Problem!

Hi all, having a problem rooting my inspire 4g, when in Fastboot , it shows the phone is S-OFF but I have no root access.
I used the root checker app, and it says that my device is not rooted. I then used EasyAceRootTool, but when I select to root
my device, it says that ''the hboot needs to be updated'' and it then starts a download from HTCDEV. I have tried using this software
several times but my device is still not rooted.

I think it may also be worth mentioning that it was previously rooted but, got stuck on the white HTC screen and I had to flash the stock kernel
If someone could help me out would really really apricate it, as it has me pulling my hair out
thanks

Kenneth, if you are already S-OFF unlocking the bootlader will remove that. You just need to flash SU in CWM recovery and flash CWM first if you don't have a custom recovery. Choose flash CWM in the tool and then SU...you should be fine after that.

[Q] Unable to get to the android menu.

I'm not that experienced in this new htc development stuff nowadays, because it's been long time I havent browsed forums closely. Anyways a friend has this One SL phone, and somehow it's bricked and asked me to help him repair it, because I owned htc phone before and was more experienced (which I doubt now).
Here's the problem i'm facing and hoping someone could point me to some information where to start from. Device is S-On and haven't been rooted or bootloader unlocked or any thing else, its totally stock with stock recovery and rom. After powering the phone it boots ok, but when I get to lockscreen and try to unlock it it gives me some errors like : com.android.settings has stopped and beneath that message is another one which is hard to read because this one getting all the time, Unfortunately, System UI has stopped.
I tried to hard reset from bootloader because I cant get to recovery from there it gives me a sign and not getting any recover. So I only did factory reset several times, and clear data but that doesn't fix anything. I got some pictures of the error and bootloader screen if that can help anyone to give me some more information.
Btw i'm trying to find out what is the stock rom for this phone but can't find out how to get that information from a non fully working system. If that is possible I would flash stock rom and see if it will fix the problem.
I wrote a lot of text but I wanted to clarify the situation in my way.
Here are the pictures I took:

You can unlock the device, flash a custom recovery and flash a stock rom.
If you are locked, you can do pretty nothing.

is the SIM card good?

Do you mean locked like Sim locked or bootloader locked? If you mean Sim locked it is sim unlocked accepts all sim cards. If you mean bootloader how to unlock it can you guide me.
russellvone : It was without sim card inside when I made picture that's why it shows Emergency only.

Bootloader unlocked.
Go to www.htcdev.com and follow the steps there.

Ok I followed the steps and get the bootloader unlocked It says ***UNLOCKED *** but under that I still have SHIP S-ON . Can I use any shipped rom to flash this device now or what should I do if you can help me out.

Now you have to flash custom recovery (TWRP recovery) with fastboot.
Look into my index thread, you can find a link to the newest TWRP there.

Im on your page and following the information to install TWRP 2.6.3 but there's written with red letters
"Only for k2u & k2ul!
Important: Recommended for hboot 2.21!" and i'm on hboot 2.00 does that matter?

Works also on hboot 2.00.

Ok you helped me a lot till now. I finished TWRP and it works, im in the recovery now. Now what build can I flash or what to do to fix the phone.

For example this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2254384
Don't forget to flash the boot.img with fastboot (see "How to install").

[Q] Restore/Un-Root to take OTA

I know this might sound dumb to some people, but I am trying to unroot and go back to stock, I have looked at alot of the tutorials on how to revert to stock, I have tried doing a complete unroot in Superuser then putting the 0P6BIMG.zip into my SC Card and letting the bootloader reload it but it ALWAYS come back with root.
Any idea's would be great. Don't have a good reason as to why other than I don't need root and would prefer to get OTAs from Verizon/HTC
Thanks in advance,
Nick

If you are talking about my ruu, that will take any future ota updates just fine as long as you 1) don't change any system files and 2) don't flash custom recovery.
Root alone will NOT make you fail otas...not on htc...

Okay, I thought I had missed an OTA, but the RUU seemed to be updated to it already. I will post a SS when I get Tapatalk installed

The ruu I have posted is the latest. I didn't bother to make one for the release os version as they had some really annoying bugs (like phones that were stuck in roam from day 1) etc.
Run the ruu and you will update fine whenever they release one. Afterwards you can flash my twrp I have posted in my ruu thread (or recovery of your choosing) and then re flash superuser.zip to reroot .. I suggest using flashify app to backup your stock recovery to your so card after the ruu ..it will let you flash back to stock recovery whenever you need to take an ota

HELP! Recovery mode doesn't work and my bootmenu stops working after 20 sec..

Hello,
I had lollipop image before (rooted shieldtablet), then i upgraded it to marshmallow by using "cm-13.0-20161101-NIGHTLY.shieldtablet.zip" also added GAPPS (google apps) i did this all from the recovery mode, mount image etc... and then the problems started.
I couldn't get the tablet to run the ROM so i had to upgrade the bootloader i think it was...
Now im trying to upgrade the CM to the latest version but it doesnt go further than about 20 seconds when installing the new version then it stops, the Android icon stops spinning its"heart"... see picture below.

I have done this all directly with the tablet, downloaded the ROM and so on and installed from the recovery mode/ ...mount.... not by PC.
Please help me?! how can i make the bootmenu to work again?? step by step....
Best way to do this to be able to upgrade my ROM further.
(first time i upgraded the root by myself):crying::crying:
Thanks in advance,
Gabriel

I tried to install the new cwm from november this year, so I downloaded it from xda forum and then I followed the steps, flush some stuff and then install the cwm image.
So when it stopped halfway I thought that it stopped working and that made me reboot the tablet and I reinstalled the rom but It happened again. I read on the site it said that it could take up to 10 minutes until late it's done so that's why I let it just be and after it was successful and also installed the gapps that was sucessful aswell. So I rebooted the tablet and started the rom but It didn't work. I read that I had to update the recovery so I did and all worked well but when I try to go into the recovery to do anything after the update of recovery it stops working after 20 seconds...

No I don't think so, I just used the compatible recovery for the latest rom cause it didn't work with my old recovery before. As I mentioned on the reply.

Do you think I should reinstall the recovery and can I do it through the PC? ?

Help please

Your description is not detailed enough to get an idea what your problem actually is.

For now. Find TWRP for shieldtablet 3.0.2-2 is the latest I think.
go in bootloader (fastboot) mode and open a shell
fastboot flash recovery twrp*
go to recovery mode
install rom.
Cwm? from here?
you can also if nothing will work flash a original recovery image.
