Put the boot.img in the same PC folder that u have the fastboot.exe program in. Turn on USB debugging on your phone. Make sure drivers are installed and reboot phone into bootloader. Plug phone into PC and push the power button to go into fastboot. Open cmd window on PC. Navigate to the folder containing fastboot and the boot.img (ex: cd C:\Android\platform-tools)
Then type the following command in cmd window
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Reboot phone

Or you can simply flash it by using TWRP recovery instead of CWM recovery.

TWRP. No need to fastboot flash the kernel.

nice alright, ill try it
btw i noticed youre running the Axiom rom on your One S and i was wondering if you could clarify the install instructions
am confused about these:
"-Flash Boot.img via fastboot
-Install Zydroid Base
-Boot into Android"
if you could clarify a bit,it'd be great man, thanks!

First I recommend you install TWRP recovery. This will take away the need to fast boot flash boot.img separately. You can install TWRP by getting Beta Goo Manager app from play store and using it to install twrp.
Next you download Axiom S 1.5 and flash it. Go to Goo Manager find compatible roms, choose "itsmikeramsey" and you will see Axiom S 1.5 download and also "add ons" downloads.
Download rom zip and choose add on. I suggest an eqs battery % ics.zip. It will give you ICS blue theme. Then flash using Goo manager. Make sure rom zip gets flashed first.
They mention Zydroid base because the Axiom S 1.5 Mdj overclocked kernel has some bugs so just find Axiom stock kernel(same as Zydroid) and flash it also.
I hope this is clear enough. One thing you must do when learning to flash roms is to research as much as you can and follow steps. GL

big thanks man! i actually already have TWRP flashed on my phone and someone told me it was simple enough that I just had to flash it in recovery and it works now! but thanks alot bro!

Is it possible to use terminal emulator to flash a boot.img?

Can u use terminal to flash a boot.img then reboot recovery and flash a ROM? Therefore bypassing the need to fastboot the boot.img after flashing?

Just download twrp it flashes the boot.IMG when u flash Rom automatically in recovery I moved from cwm
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium

Not sure, might be better to ask in the thread relating to the ROMs you're looking to flash. I know sometimes twrp doesn't flash boot.img correctly for some people too but it's worth a shot to try twrp.

This will very likely not work. You would need fastboot binary installed on the phone and hope that it can target itself... or a looped micro USB cable Look at doing this with dd maybe and you might need S-off. But easiest is hoping that youre lucky to have a phone that TWRP can flash boot.img to.

There is a good chance (according to my highly scientific calculations ) that dd-ing it from a terminal emu or from an adb shell will work if you are on hboot-1.09 or older.

Clockwork touch recovery

Did you use fastboot boot recovery path to recovery instead of fastboot flash recovery path to recovery?

It was a downloaded zip file. I flashed it thru recovery have do.e it this was on other pho.es without problem.

It might be because we lack s off, I don't know, but can you try using fastboot and see if that works? There are guides about this in the dev section
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app

did you get it--

Tried every suggestion I could find. It won't stick after reboot
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda premium

if you want to go thru exact steps for cwm we can, but you need adb/fastboot working on your pc, and knowing how to use them. I won't have time tonite for a tutorial on that, but plenty of info out there.
also on phone make sure under settings/power fastboot is unchecked. if you are going to use fastboot to flash cwm you need usb debugging check under settings/dev options
easier way is to flash twrp recovery
their thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1677670
mainly just download goo mananger from play store
open it
tap on menu, mine is the 3 dots
tap on Install OpenRecoveryScript
follow directions
with twrp you can flash radios and most roms without flashing kernel thru fastboot
always have a nandroid and sdcard bu before doing these things

Yes, I've done that already uh sing hassoons tool kit. Probably just stick with reg cwm. Not on recovery much anyways. Have used cwm for a couple years. I tried the twrp rec. For a few minutes.

don't use the toolkit
fastboot the 5.8.3.1 image thru command terminal window
do you use fastboot

Hi I have used the tool kit, but some of the recoveries there don't work. I found this file online after searching and it does work with my HTC One S. This is touch recovery, pretty good, actually.
You can just flash the .img file through:
a) adb command(fastboot), might be faster for you.
or
b) you can put this file(extract it first) into the "data" folder of the tool kit, but you will have to edit bat file to be able to integrate your new .img file with the UI. I did this way.
This is the link where I got the above recovery. http://www.modaco.com/topic/353006-...ch-recovery-for-the-htc-one-s-stock-download/
This link also have stock .img you might need in the future. I tried both the recovery and stock files, they both worked well.
See if this will help you out.

ClockWork Mod wont install in Recovery

I've got a Sensation (I think its a Phillipenes issue) which was upgraded to ICS 4.0.3.
Basically I've managed to complete HTC Dev Unlock, then a few days later I lost Wi-Fi connection, so have been trying to continue with installing a Custom (or even the original) ROM in an attempt to fix it.
I've now done Junoptobear to get true S-OFF
Got root access
But cant get Clockwork Mod to install in Recovery...
I've installed ROMmanager Premium and used it to install the latest Clockwork Mod - it states its downloaded and completed but when I go to the bootloader and select Recovery it flashes the white HTC screen for a brief second then back to the bootloader.
I've tried to manually download the Clockwork Mod file and install to Recovery but I get the same issue.
Does anyone have any ideas?? Many thanks!

Hi there you can install 4ext recovery you can get the file here in xda or even from the play store. Many of us use 4ext because it has many options and is very easy to use.personally I prefer 4ext. All I did was download from the play store and opened the app follow directions choose version of recovery and it will flash from the application. I was already rooted and soff when I did it but it's very easy to do. I really think you will like 4 ext recovery. You already have s OFF and root so it should not be a problem. Best of luck to you. I hope this helps! As I mentioned most of us use 4 ext recovery and I doubt you will be disappointed. Good luck.

I may be wrong but this sorta sonuds like a problem abother member was having the other day. I think they may not have a eng Hboot installed. Question why not just let them flash the recovery using the PG58IMG.zip via bootloader?

Question about Cyanogenmod 11

Hello guys,
I've been looking around for CM11 for my HTC One X+.
Now I've found the original CM11 on their website for HOX+, but there is one little question I got about this.
http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=enrc2b
That's the link where I've found it by the way.
There is no boot.img download, how safe is it to just install the ROM? In my opinion it isn't.
So let me know what you guys think.

Its on the official website, and It should work. Make a backup though.
The boot.img download isn't there because the boot.img is probably inside the .zip.
So open the zip and you'll have your boot.img.

One small question, if I'm going to put the .zip file on my SD card I can just leave the boot.img in the .zip right?

Oh okay, you will need to flash the boot.img alone then as flashing the ROM zip won't just work. So boot into bootloader, and flash the new boot.img you had extracted from the .zip
Once yo uhave flashed the .img boot into recovery mode and perform a gull wipe, including cache. Once done simply flash the zip and reboot.
First reboot takes a bit so be patient. I also recommend you getting a band backup in case.

Ye I know it takes a lot of time since I've been flashing a ROM once before, but I can just leave the file in the .zip when flashing it in recovery?

If you're coming from a Sense ROM you can't just flash the zip without flashing the boot.img. It wouldn't even boot. And sometimes it boots but without mobile signal or WiFi signal.
So just place the zip on your sdcard, take the boot.img out of the zip on your computer.. Then boot into bootloader and connect it to the computer using USB then type
"fastboot flash boot boot.img"
Then "fastboot erase cache"
(you must have fastboot installed and configured on your computer)
Then boot into recovery and flash the zip file and gapps. Oh don't forget a wipe is mandatory if you're coming from sense ROM. But if you're coming from an AOSP ROM it's recommended but you can go without wiping. I flashed cyanogen over paranoid android without wiping data and had no issues at all. But I wiped the system partition.
And you cannot S-OFF an HTC One X+.. If it's S-ON then it stays that way. Only a few amount of people have S-OFF on their HOX+.
Oh and I don't think TWRP recovery is compatible with CM11 on HOX+.. So I recommend you flash philz recovery. Flash it by using the fastboot command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
(recovery.img should be replaced with the name of the recovery you downloaded)
It doesn't take a lot of time. I change ROMs almost every week.
