Flashing ROMS on 1.09 Hboot - HTC One S

Guys, I read in another thread that if your Hboot is bellow 1.13 you can flash roms without having to use a boot.img. I want to know if this is correct because mine is 1.09 and I've been wanting to flash a rom but that extra step is too much for my laziness. Haha

I'm not sure about using CWM recovery but I'm on 1.09 and use the twrp 2.2.1 and (except for Viper Rom) never have to flash boot.IMG.

I have CWM. Can I just flash TWRP over it or do I have to follow different steps?

Sorry for the late reply...download goo manager from market. Then flash twrp from there. It's pretty easy

You need a RUU, its a completely stock rom with stock recovery, just flash it and you will be back to stock.

Don't worry, simply boot to recovery and take another nandroid backup, you'll probably never need to go back and if you need you can always use the ruu route

Fastboot Flash Boot.img

Hey there.
Just a quick rookie ish question. I notice that many roms require the fastboot flash of the boot.img. Would that be required if I flashed a custom kernel with the rom, beings how the kernel flashes a boot.img?
Thanks!

It depends on your Hboot. Of you are lower then 1.13 you can flash the zip in recovery.

[Q] boot.img

Ok trying to cover my bases. I'm stock 2.20 and looking to root and flash roms. I've done this on the one x in the past but it was during the 1.73 and 1.85 era.
Now when I achieve root and get a custom recovery pushed.... Now every time I flash a rom I need to also pull the boot.img from the zip?
And when do I flash that? Prior to the rom flash or after?
Thanks

Yes. that needs to be done after flashing ROM. if you are flashing an updated version of same ROM and if there are no changes in kernel.. no need to do that..

i'm about to run the full ota. i'll pot my findings after.
*edit* No matter what I tried, it wouldn't let me update with the OTA.
I'm going to flash the firmware.zip instead. -_- Bah~
Update: I successfully flashed the entire firmware.zip and am now going to flash the ROM. I will attempt to update via the OTA by inserting my modified firmware.zip first.
If that doesn't work, I will just flash the ROM.zip. I'll update this post with whatever managed to work for me.
*edit*
I can confirm that touchscreen works in twrp using 2.15 hboot as I had to flash twrp to move the OTA zip file over to my sd card
*edit* modified firmware.zip within the OTA did not work. So I will just flash the rom. I do however have the firmware.zip flashed successfully so I expect things to run smoother. Only time will tell.
Thanks exad, I just updated the official way through ruumode and then flashed twrp and the boot.img(just to make sure it's a controlled experiment).
Everything still the same, working perfectly I will report if the signal drops or random reboot happens.
And now off to bed.

so far, according to my usage in the past few hours, there is no harm in keeping the kernel included in the firmware.zip
Anyone who wants to flash the firmware.zip, I have linked instructions and and the zip file in this thread:

If I flash 2.15 I'd for sure clean install magio, I'm gonna wait out R4 (4.2.2 base) and flash together.

Hboot 2.15 at&t ?
I notice a few of you have AT&T phones, but I'm having great difficulty finding any info on the 2.15 HBOOT.
I am currently on my HTC ONE XL with HBOOT 2.14 using AT&T (United States obviously). Running Magio 4.0.0 and about to update to 4.0.1
So does this HBOOT 2.15 exist for this phone and if so can someone kindly link me to it??
Whether the phone is at&t or not doesn't matter, the at&t One X is the same phone as the HTC One XL, it's just branded differently. Look in the Android Development section of our forum, you'll find links plus instructions to the firmware in Turge's stock ROM thread in the OP.

HTC One S Hboots and Kernels clarification please

so if I'm S-OFF and on hboot 1.14 does that mean I can just flash a new hboot to run the 3.4 kernel and once I upgrade my hboot can I still use the older kernels?
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
Yes you need hboot 2.15 to run 3.4 kernel. There's a workaround posted in the forums for using older hboot with the new kernel, but it's not supported by CM.
And yes you can still run old kernel with new hboot.

I noticed in your signature " CM Stock" - can you tell me how to get this stock kernel ? I know how to flash this boot.img but need to know where I can get it ?
I am having 'stuck in Edge" issue - used to get 4g but not anymore.. would like to see if it's to do with the kernel that I have.
Well to get the kernel you need to open the ROM zip file and extract the boot.img file. Then use fastboot to fastboot flash boot boot.img

I know that the boot.img file is in the zip file, what I meant to ask was where do I get the stock ROM (so i can open it up and get the boot.img)
Also, what do I need to worry about before I apply this boot.img - do I need to make sure my hboot is compatible somehow?

Okay sweet thank you I was also wondering where I can get the 2.15 hboot to flash? Or do I have to relock everything and then use the ruu to upgrade to that?

You are not able to superCID though if you have 2.15 hboot, so keep that in mind.
