[Q] Unable to flash custom kernel. - HTC Sensation

I was unable to flash any custom kernel on stock rom need help. firmware 3.33

maybe because 3.33 is still new and the kernels we have are only 3.32 based?

No, it has nothing to do with this. OP is probably running a stock ROM and stock kernel. This has a locked ramdisk. Custom kernels need an unlocked ramdisk.
However OP, a bit more information would help. S-ON/S-OFF? Which firmware are you running? What ROM are you running?

um...ehm...he's stock man...why asking what ROM he's running
also, i have an EVO 3D and i flash custom kernels on the stock ROM for ever now.
Kernels and ramdisk are included in boot.img, so if he's S-OFF (in which i'm positive he is) it should work just fine.
i still back my point about the firmware difference.

By the way even when i was on earlier 3.32 version i was unable to flash nor faux kernel nor bricked kernel, i think it has nothing to do with firmware version.

I wiped Dalvik cache and chache partition but none of this seems to work.

try this boot.img
https://www.dropbox.com/s/fxo11b48qc3xuiw/boot.img
you need to flash that via fastboot though
copy the file to adb/fastboot folder
connect phone to pc in fastboot mode (phone reads "fastboot usb")
then this command
fastboot flash boot boot.img
after this try to flash the custom kernel's via recovery ..they will work

the boot.img i have given you is only temporaray ..its to support other kernel's you are trying to flash until now
so just flash the kernel you want now from CWM
if you are S-ON and HTC-dev unlcoked then
stop and flash 4EXT recovery and flash the kernel with smartflash ON
this guide step #2 and step #3

Like I said, locked ramdisk .
You flashed a boot image with an unlocked ramdisk, so now you should be able to flash a custom kernel OP. Wifi will probably work after that.

I flashed MIUI 2.17 and then got error "status 7", then I flash bricked kernel and it worked. But I got a wifi problem: it only works with bricked kernel, I've flashed Sebastian and faux kernel but wifi keep on "turning wifi on" . What should I do now?

Problem flashing radio or kernel

Hi guys,
I unlocked my bootloader via HTCDev and installed leedroid and root OK.
But i'm having issues trying to flash any radios or kernels via CWM or TWRP. Basically which ever recovery I use, it always says it has flashed the radio/kernel fine, but when I reboot nothing has actually happened.
I've noticed a few others on the forums having the same issue. Is there a step I am missing?

Have you tried installing radio or kernel using the fastboot boot recovery.img method just to verify it is possible? CWR can't install radio or kernel images, but supposedly TWRP has a workaround that should have worked.
I can install kernals using fastboot but radio's give me a signature verification error...
As far as I know you can't flash radio images without being S-OFF. "Unlocked" just gives you write access to /system/ and possibly /boot/.
Yeah I thought that too. I wonder why some people can flash the radio via cwm / twrp and others not.
if you get a signature error, make sure sig verify is turned off
and you can flash radios with twrp thru recovery
with cwr you need to fastboot into recovery first then flash radio zip, do not flash radio.img just the zip like any rom

wow--not sure on all that
did you try clearing caches--not sure it is needed though

US Tmobile One S failed RUU

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

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.

[Q] Is flashing a kernel as easy as going to recovery and installing it?

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.

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 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

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.

[Q] HBOOT update

I recently s-offed my sensation using JuopunutBear and then managed to downgrade to HBOOT 1.18 because I was trying to downgrade the radio. I was facing the WiFi "error" and figured it might just be the radio so i downgraded it
That did not solve my problem and i decided to revert back to ICS rom to try something else and i flashed the rom and it wont boot
I tried other roms but nothing i selected booted. I did try flashing boot.img using adb but that didnt help either
all i need is to be able to go back to 1.27 HBOOT, remain S-off and somehow figure out how to get the WiFi working

since I can't enable it I can't change it
needless to say I've tried several different roms and also changed the radio to 10.something and it still would't work

Can modified boot.img be flashed while oxygen 5.1.8 is running?

I'm running 5.8.1 stock rom Franco Kernel. The app says it can, is this true?
Also is there a stock 5.1.8 boot.img file that has TWRP installed into it that can be flashed by Francos app.
Any info appreciated

The kennels can be flashed while system is running because it's a different partition and when it flashes, it keeps TWRP and magisk in tact.

I need to flash 5.1.8 boot.img, one that has TWRP in it.
I DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO A PC so adb and fastboot are out.
And I have stock recovery, can't flash from there ?
That's what's up. ?

You need custom recovery or fastboot, otherwise, impossible, as far as I know.

Have you asked Franco if this is possible? You can flash kernels while booted, so I don't see a reason you couldn't also flash recovery. The kernel, recovery, and magisk are all in the boot partition together.
However, I have no idea if the kernel flashers (EXKM can also do it) can flash a full boot.img properly.
