I was just wondering why with the One S we need to flash the boot.img from the rom to get it working in most cases. never had the need to do this with other phones i have owned?
cheers
As far as I know ,we need s-off before it will work properly .
I know people are saying twrp can flash boot ,but it has never worked for me.
Would also be interested in knowing .

Sorry yeah, S-off would make sense. Nah, TWRP doesn't seem to do it.
TWRP does it for me.. am using Axiom S v1.5 and did not have to flash boot.img.. just went straight to recovery and flashed it from there.. works flawlessly
Out of interest ,
are you s-on?

There is currently no way to s-off the HTC One S. Best you can do is bootloader unlock.
My phone is boot load unlocked but I tryed installing vemon ROM but when I install it and reboot it gets stuck on load up for some reason. But on install it says something about being (s-off) I don't understand what its asking for then :/

Luckily you probably misnoticed that, no One S ROM needs S-Off to install AFAIK.
OK so why does it not boot up when I install the vemon rom? It shows blank black screen...

You need to flash the boot.img in fast boot.

Talk about not reading instructions on how to flash a rom.

Did what? Anyways this is a symptom of not flashing the boot.img properly. Do it using fastboot, there is a whole guide on doing this stickied in the development section.
Do like others have said, fastboot boot.img or try using TWRP recovery.
One of the rom threads has a boot.img script. Just replace the boot image on that script folder with yours and run the script.

Maybe it isn't the boot.img..maybe he chose full wipe in AROMA and it didn't flash. Try flashing by manually full wiping and then not full wiping in AROMA, then it should boot after you fastboot the boot.img.
As of right now I can't load any Rom except for venom. I don't know what is stopping my phone from working.
Background, dropped phone in the toilet, dried it out and everything worked. Went to change roms and something got messed up during the install which cause the phone to have no Os and no usb support. Got all of that straight, reloaded the phone back to stock, rooted it again, unlocked it, and loaded venom.
I have tried to load other roms but it will install in recovery but after reboot it will stay on the loading screen for the rom.
Any help will be great. Thanks!

You have to flash the boot.img
Hate to sound like I haven't been doing this for a while but where do I get the boot.img?

*facepalm* all roms have there own boot.img. if you open your Rom you'll see what says boot. That is it and you go into fastboot and flash it or use the flash gui app

Thanks. I only ask because I have never had this issue before.

Venom has a way of flashing the boot.img for you...but otherwise since you're on hboot 1=14 you have to manually flash the boot img....dont worry that's why were here to help!

Unfortunately it sounds like when you reflashed to stock you upgraded the hboot, which in turn makes it so you have to flash the boot.img through fastboot. It's unfortunate, but there is a JET tool if you're experienced in Linux to downgrade your hboot. but, like I said, don't do it unless you're confident.
Thanks guy. I got it to work with the flash GUI. Back to clean Rom!

I was using the HTC ONE S all in one tool kit. I wasn't paying attention (a.d.d.) and accidently flashed clockworkmod recovery in the kernal section. I keep going into the clockworkmod but cant get out. Please I do not know what to do from here. Im in DYER need of help. Hope to hear from you all soon. Thanks.
Use toolkit to flash twrp recovery and you'll be fine.

I had already flashed the TWRP recovery. It keeps taking me to the recovery.
I think i might have deleted the stock kernal when I accidently flashed the recovery in the kernal section. Any other suggestions?
Just flash Rom from twrp, fastboot flash boot.img from zip and it should work.

I have the s4 tmobile us. So im trying to get the ics.
Just search for boot.img for ics. I'm sure its somewhere here on the forum. Then fastboot flash it with the all-in-one kit and then reboot phone.

Ok so i found the elemental kernal i think. I downloaded it. Do i extract it and just put the boot in the flash kernal section of the aio. Its the only file with boot.img I really dont want to mess this up more.
Elemental its for jb. Thatone won't work for you.

I couldnt find a stock one. I found the beastmode, i believe that is for ics. im exacting the file now.
Beastmode won't work, unless you already have a working boot.img Try, using kilns fusion ultimate kernel.

Make sure you use the sense one and not the asop one
I have AOKP on my att HTC. I already flashed the boot IMG manually, if I want to try out CM10 do I have to flash the boot IMG of cm10 again? Also when updating the same ROM is this neccesary again?

If you are on hboot 1.14, yes you should flash the boot IMG every time you flash a new ROM. Not technically necessary for a ROM update but good to do just in case.
You can always just S-OFF though, then you don't need to worry about it.

QBking said on his video that getting S off can brick your phone so I am a little weary.

It is actually a very simple process. All I did was copy and paste the commands from the facepalm method. Worked like a charm. Makes flashing a whole lot easier.

The only issue i had while getting s-off was the phone being "offline" but a simple unplug and replug fixed that. It was a simple process overall
sent from my jellybammed one x
I would say the bigger risk is not understanding what s-off is actually doing. Because there's no security checks, if you don't know what you're doing you can easily brick flashing the wrong thing. If you're smart about it, take your time and know what it is your flashing, you shouldn't have any problems.

So I recently got a new device since I lost my 4g on my last htc one s and unlocked bootloader, flashed recovery, rooted, all that good jazz but for some reason I flash a custom rom and it doesn't get past the htc boot screen. I was able to flash new roms on my last htc one s no problem but can't for some reason. The only difference I can say is that this new one received the ota jb update. Any advice? I'd like to be able to get back to my jb roms...

did you flash the boot.img file?
I didn't but the roms I've tried flashing didn't require that. Or at least I didn't think so. I.e. Slimrom and deviantx....
