Are you HTCDev Unlocked? If that is the case, you need to flash the ROM's original boot.img via CMD
fastboot flash boot boot.img

Omg.. Here is the way how to do it.
1. Connect your phone to the PC
2. Find on your SD Card /clockwordmod/backup/"your backu name"
3. Copy the boot.img to your computer where the adb shell files are located
4. Make sure Fastboot is off and USB Debugging is on
5. Restart your phone in the recovery
6. Restore your previous ROM
7. Restart you phone in Bootloader
8. Connect your phone to the pc flash the boot.img vai cmd
that's exactly what I've tried it five times and I always come only into recovery.

Oh and a full wipe is necessarily as well.
And have you tried to convert the file using "EXT3 - EXT4 - 4EXT" the option in your recovery?
can i change it in cwm? because i dont have 4ext recovery and i can't install it because the s-off
I get 4ext installed via fastboot. Then tried the back-up to convert 3EXT but this does not help, it is because I have a another radio (20.72.30.0833U_3831.17.00.310)?

To flash this do we have to be in any earlier version?
Bcoz i tried flashing but its stuck in boot animation.
I DId al wiping(data,cache,dalvik) ..
Did fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot.
But still the problem remains..
Any suggestions
Thanks
If you do a full wipe before flashing it's not relevant which ROM or version you are coming from. Maybe you have wrong hboot.
Is your device s-off?

no mine in still S-ON thru htcdev but rooted,using cm7.1..wanna try best ROM based on sense UI...hence wanted to flash...now i have observed one thing whichever the ROM i flash it its not happening...it stays in boot animation..earlier i tried CM7.1,MIUI WP7 ...My hboot version is 2.00.002
Unlocking thru htcdev allows to flash a ROM with stock kernel only. For freeful flash-rom-manipulating S-Off is needed. Try flashing any ROM with non-stock kernel led me only to the screen with HTC logo.

With HTCDev unlock you have to flash the kernel separately.
Which means:
1) open WhateverROMyouHaveDownloaded.zip
2) extract the boot.img that you will find inside
3) flash the ROM as usual (with full wipe)
4) Do not restart your phone yet, because you will be stuck in a HTC logo screen (bootloop)
5) from the recovery power menu reboot to bootloader
6) connect the phone to PC
7) flash the boot.img with the fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot flash boot {path to the file on your computer}\boot.img
8) reboot and enjoy your new ROM
P.S. this is a nasty limitation of HTCDev unlock, to avoid downgrade to a previous version (there are two guides in the Index), S-OFF with Revolutionary, flash Eng bootloader 0.98.2000 or 2.00.2002 and flash custom ROMs in one step
do u want me to put on "Team viewer after flashing a non-stock rom" ?i can do that man...
amidabuddha.....
I have done all the things what u said but with a difference.....Extracted ROM.zip put on the root of the SD card and and did fastboot flash boot boot.img...
If i extract the BOOT.IMG on the computer and den flash will it make any difference???
i have flashed boot.img seperately like u said it worked..
Thanks man
I am hoping that I can find help out there. My phone will not load past the splash screen.
Over the last few days I have been trying to install a custom rom on my phone. I thought I was on the right track and now I have flashed it but it will not go past the splash screen. I would be grateful for any advice on how to get my phone back functioning. I would even be happy to have it back stock.
So my movements over the last few days have been as follows:
1) HTC DEV unlocked the bootloader
2) Used Hasoon2000's HTC Sensation 4G all-in-one to flash CWM.
3) Then the same tool to copy Prem Root onto the SD card and installed it via CWM.
4) Then used this post here to install JB Miui - http://miuiandroid.com/community/threads/how-to-update-upgrade-miui.15424/
Then when I rebooted it is stuck on the Miui splash screen.
At every stage I felt like things worked well and now I have that sad feeling in my stomach because I have just realized how vital my phone is.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Did u flash boot.img after u flashed the rom? Did u full wipe before flashing the rom? Also with s-on users its recommended to use 4ext recovery and in recovery, enable smartflash.
Where can I find information about boot.img - so that is a no. I am installing 4ext now.

ok, so I have been looking at the boot.img part and I found this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xVl2dBTnmI
I have followed it but still am not having any luck.
Still very lost.

open rom.zip and search for the boot.img
probably it is located in the kernel folder
place it in the folder where you have adb and fastboot files
now boot your device to the bootloader and connect it to pc via usb(in the hboot screen it should say fastboot usb)
in the folder where you have adb and fastboot files open a cmd window and do this command
fastboot flash boot boot.img
then
fastboot reboot
done

as suggested before it is better to have 4ext recovery
and before flashing any rom enable smartflash from it(for S-ON devices)
smartflash it does exactly what i said above
Hi, I explain short what I made with my Htc one s:
1. Unlock via the HTC site,
2. Recovery,
3. CM 10 (stable) on SD card and I loaded the boot.img (I think that was the mistake, loading the boot.img before installing CM 10 not afterwards)
4. Install of CM 10 but I doesn't load the boot.img again.
The problem(s) in a few sentences:
1. CM 10 is starting ( only the loading page) on my HTC One S. After a while restart. (bootloop)
2. My PC regonizes an usb connection but i can't acces to the sd card.(device failed enumeration)
3 In recovery mode there's as well no acces to the sd card (can't mount sd card)
4. When I go into fastboot 2 minutes later fastboot switches to fastboot usb like normal but still no acces.
I tried to connect the phone via adb-no chance.
Thanks for your help!

Did you flash the boot.img?

Yes
Flash latest twrp. Try to wipe Sd-card from twrp.
If that doesn't work, flash stock recovery and boot to bootloader. Choose clear storage. This should bring your sd-card back.

Thanks for your reply.
Since Windows doesn't recognize the phone ( "unknown USB device, device failed enumeration" in device manager) I can't flash anything either from adb fastboot via command line nor via all in one kit. The phone doesn't even go into USB mode when it's in fastboot.
If I select clear storage in the bootloader it throws me into CWM where i basically can't do anything.
I didn't get it.. was boot.img flashed via fastboot after cm install, too? Did you cleared cache and dalvik(via fastboot or cwm) after rom/kernel instalation?
and we are talking about cm 10.0 stable?

Huawei devices usually have 2 recovery partitions; 1 is the regular recovery & the other 1 is the eRecovery.
Here are both (from the b029 update): https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8rpJsF4EG0YWk9xMWFJSXA3VnM
Flash the 1st one & you should be good to go.
If you want to flash the 2nd partition, you need to specify "recovery2" as target in fastboot.
In case this doesn't work but you can still access TWRP, try the following:
adb push recovery1.img /sdcard/
adb push recovery2.img /sdcard/
dd if=/sdcard/recovery1.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p28
& for eRecovery:
dd if=/sdcard/recovery2.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21
Reboot & do your thing.

Are you sure you flashed it correctly? The full 1.4Gb update needs to be extracted & the dload folder copied into the root of the sdcard.
Not the zip itself.
I also suggest to make a full wipe from fastboot:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot format cache
fastboot format userdata

my update.zip is only 40mb, i downloaded it with the regular update tool

In this case I recommend that you download the full 1.4Gb update - the 40Mb OTA might try patching the recovery as well, & since the recovery on the device is already from that version, it will fail.
Although I don't know whether this will be an image flash or binary patching.
As mentioned - the safest & fastest way is to install the full firmware.

Glad you could solve the problem ;]
the b029 is simple: nandroid only makes a backup of the boot, data & system partitions, but Huawei flashes customization to other partitions (/dev/block/mmcblk0p8, /dev/block/mmcblk0p39), where the firmware level is stored.
If you want to apply OTAs in the future, I really recommend doing a full flash to get all firmware levels consistent.
Hi I'm an amateur enthusiast of rooting and flashingn etc. I have a Google nexus 5 hammerhead and I flashed a bootloader image as a recovery image while in recovery. My phone turns on goes straight to bootloader and if I try to access rec or start phone then screen is just blank. I've tried using a computer to fix but won't detect drivers won't update drivers and I'm not really sure what I'm doing. Can someone please help me . thanks mike
Make yourself familiar with fastboot.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
If the phone is recognized in fastboot mode and the phone has an unlocked bootloader, try flashing a stock Google ROM.
He doesn't have to flash the whole factory image. If he wants stock recovery, he can flash that image file only.
Gesendet von meinem Nexus 5 mit Tapatalk
If it was only recovery that was corrupted, I'm not sure why the phone doesn't boot the rom.
Ah, you're right! Sorry!
@OP: Flash the whole factory image then. Remove the -w flag from the flash-all.bat to prevent your data partition from being wiped.
