CWM has always been able to flash boot.img with the ROM if you fastboot booted into CWM, like so: (provided the clockwork-recovery-version-blabla.img file is in your current dir ofc)
Code:
fastboot boot clockwork-recovery-version-blabla.img
Maybe CWM can flash the boot.img on certain Hboot versions, what is yours?
Ooh is there a new CWM version for ville?

from what i read only TWRP had the ability to flash boot.img without going into fastboot and using ADB
but when i went into rom manager it said new clockworkmod 5.8.3.1 so i updated
and noticed the new kernel after a normal rom update in recover (CWM)

Na CWM can do it if booted the way i described. Kind of defeats the purpose though as you still need to have a computer hooked up, might as well fastboot flash the boot image. 5.8.3.1 is a couple of months old. But check which Hboot version you have, that might explain why it works for you. You can also check your kernel version with ADB by the way, like so:
HTML:
adb shell uname -a

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

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.

Hello all. Im new to this particular forum. I own a Galaxy Nexus, but I am unlocking/rooting my buddies One S for him. I have gone through the loops already; unlocked the bootloader, rooted, and installed custom recovery (CWM) with no issues. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it was a snap compared to his previous HTC Legend. Nightmare.
Anyway, forgive me if this has in fact been answered as I have been searching. After a custom ROM is flashed you still have to flash a boot img via fastboot? I attempted to install CM10 yesterday and get stuck at the HTC boot screen?? Luckily I made a nandroid of the stock ROM and easily reverted. Where do I find the appropriate boot img? Is it just the img that is found in the unpacked ROM? Couldn't find anything pertaining to this in the ROM write up. I know with my Nexus you flash the ROM via recovery and that is it. Strange that you need to also flash the boot img following the ROM flash.
Any help is appreciated.

Hello there, since you installed cwm recovery, you have to flash the boot.img via fastboot, if you have the twrp recovery you may not need to flash it via fastboot, it does it for you if you have an hboot under 1.14 but if its over that hboot your going to have to flash the boot.img for any Rom via fastboot. It still wouldn't hurt to flash the boot.img via fastboot but that's just me, well I hope I helped you and if I did then good, and if you wanna know more just ask...
If I helped then just press the thanks button

Hi,
I was using CM10 and now I want to revert back to my previously used stock ROM. However after restoring I'm still unable to boot (I'm using ClockworkMod Touch). Do I need to flash the stock boot.img too? Where I can find it?
Thanks in advance!

Its in the rom.zip just extract it. Also look for Flash Image Gui in apps section as enables you too flash a boot.img direct from your phone whilst booted in a rom and will even extract the files for you from the new rom.zip!

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.

Yeah I think that's right. But why would you ever want to switch from TWRP?
I'd use fastboot to flash a new recovery. It's easy to do and the most recent twrp versions have issues. Goo manager only flashes the newest version afaik.

also remember the recoveryfile has to be in the adb/fastboot folder on your pc.
you can use hasoons A1O tool also (flash custom, then locate the file)

You don't need s-off to install latest custom ROMs

your recomand tread it says su

If the app shows you any text with word "sony" in it - then your device has a screen panel made by Sony (obviously). If that's the case - you can just close this thread at once and don't worry that your device might freeze at "HTC Quietly Brilliant" screen after flashing a ROM. Otherwise, proceed forward.
