[Q] Fallout doesn't go past boot

Question in short: I have Fallout but it doens't go past the bootscreen. What can I try?
I have a european non-branded Desire S (Dutch) and wanted to try custom roms. I grabbed the most detailed tutorial I could find and started working on it. This was some months ago, but i basically ended up using MIUI because no other rom worked. Now, I am completely tired of all the fails this rom has (lagging, crashing, shutting down for no reason and the rom is just ugly imo) and therefore want to switch to another one. Now, my preference laid with the official beta for android 4.0 from the HTCdev website. I downloaded the RUU, followed the instructions, but I get an error everytime during the installation. Now as far as I have found out, this is because my phone is S-OFF. Searching how to change this, I found some commands:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
I thought, or something close. I don't think I will be helped by just this, but how do you execute this code? I believe somewhere in cmd, but where is fastboot.exe?
Given up on the idea of getting an official rom installed, I tried to install Fallout, the rom which appealed to me the most of all. Now, I remember this one from earlier, but it simply stops at the "HTC One" bootscreen. I did a full wipe as far as I know how to:
Code:
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
wipe dalvik cache
wipe battery stats
format system
format data
format boot
I did all of the above. And that is the situation I am in right now. I have Fallout installed and would like to use it (if it turns out to be good), but the official 4.0 beta would be good for me too. The rest of my phone's information:
Code:
*** UNLOCKED ***
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.00.0002
RADIO-3822.10.08.04_M
eMMC-boot
I just realized it is already S-ON. I don't know how, but i used the program Revert to Stock too, but it gave an error. Please tell me any extra information you need to help me, I hope you can help me solve this.
Thanks in advance.

Did you flash the boot.Img after you flashed the rom?

I had exactly the same problem. Try to flash Boot.img Via Fastboot.

I found a tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752270
I used a boot.img from the "Revert to Stock" application. Sending returns OKAY but writing returns FAILED (remote: image error! (BootMagic check fail)).
First of all, can I use this boot.img with Fallout? Secondly, how do I fix the fail in fastboot?

But I have no boot.img and it now says HBOOT USB PLUG in the recovery.
The command "fastboot devices" does nothing. It's recognized, but returns nothing.
What do I do?
I now found out I had to select fastboot. Now it says "FASTBOOT USB" and "fastboot devices" recognises my phone, but I still have no boot.img. Is there a specific boot.img for Fallout or do I need one for my phone?

Get the boot.img by extracting it from the fallout .zip file.

Stop whatever u are doing and start reading before u brick ur phone.
Here is a link for what and all u need to know.
From adb commands, unlocking/s-off, recoveries and roms.
U can flash rom with unlock or s-off, u need not need both. Unlock is less desired but in terms of flashing rom it works just fine, all u need to remember is to flash the boot.img at each point.

In order to flash ViperS 311 on HTC Sensation you have to flash kernel
311 which is included in the downloads section for vipers 311 (link
provided above).
Unfortunately, this "kernel updater" is making changes which are
preventing some programs to work. I want to remove ViperS and flash
other rom,
Unfortunately x2 this kernel updater made changes which are preventing
flashing other roms. In fact - I am struggling to boot 4ext
Therefore I want it out and revert to the software which I had on my
sensation before installing kernel updater.

actually you didn't flash kernel updater
kernel updater is being using to flash the boot.img of the rom so you can boot the rom after installation(if you are facing bootloops)
what to do now
flash another rom as you know
after that put the boot.img of the rom in your adb and fastboot folder and flash it via fastboot command(i assume you know how to do that)
if you need anything else report

Well, now I'm totally confused so let's start from the beginning:
1. I had some customised rom and decided to flash ViperS 3.1.1.
Flashing 3.1.1. is impossible unless you use this "kernel flasher" which
is included in downloads on the official ViperS311 thread. After
running this kernel flasher I managed to install ViperS311 but for
example LBE Privacy isn't working, my SatNav program isn't wokring,
other software isn't working as well.
2. Yesterday I got a message on my phone that there is an update from
ViperS 3.1.1 to ViperS 3.1.2 which I installed. Unfortunately, after
updating to 3.1.2 the wifi isn't working. I want to remove ViperS and
revert to other Rom like Asianic or any other. Now this is impossible
because of the changes that kernel flasher from ViperS made to my
device.
3. I want it out and get my phone back as I need it.
4. I have just flashed stock kernel and managed to install Asianic, but
after booting into the system and installing ES File Manager, it went
into a boot loop. Is starts and reboots non-stop.
5. I did used ADB but really long time ago so I don't remember all. I
also use mainly linux so I will prefer to revert it to the previous
version without the need for Windows use.

ok
can you boot now in the asianic rom?
if not then follow these steps
1)boot the device to the bootloader
2)connect it to pc via usb(in the hboot screen must say fastboot usb)
3)now extract the boot.img from the asianic rom and place it in the folder where you have adb and fastboot files
4)open in that folder a cmd window and do fastboot flash boot boot.img
5)then do fastboot reboot
see then if it boots to the rom

Is superwipe recommended while coming from stock ICS or I should format all partition except SD Card? I am S-Off and 3.33 firmware.

Thanks for that rzr86, I'm starting to understand that now. It seems
that Kernel Flasher from ViperS 311 is a boot.img file with simple
program made by ViperS group that does what you mentioned, but without
the need for using adb and command line.
- However, I still don't understand what changes they made to that
boot.img to cause such complications... ?
Asianic installed correctly but than started crashing and booting in
loop so I replaced it with "Sense-o-Maniac" and this seems to be
working fine.
It doesn’t have any previous problems that I was experiencing on other
rom's.
I will report if any problems arise. So for so good.
I got bit shaky when I couldn't boot into 4EXT but it was just temprary

Superwipe is basically wiping all partitions except of SD Card. Always recommended :highfive:

All kernel flasher does is "fastboot flash boot boot.img" NOTHING ELSE, and u can use it to actually flash any other kernel you want on ANY device!

Using kernel fasher
Hi ! I just joined this forum and might be this is my first question
I am quite interesting to install this ROM (viper) and would like to take a shot. But, I worry about this "kernel flasher" issue.
Here is my sensation status :
-HBOOT 1.29
-Firmware 3.33.707.151
-Radio 1176A.3504.OOU_1124A.3504.31_M
-S-ON
-Bootloader unlocked
-Rooted
I would to confirm some questions :
1. If I want to install this ROM can't I just simply install it to the latest version of ViperS 3.1.2?
2. Which one will come first flashing kernel (using kernel flasher) or installing ROM?
3. Will it be working using my current firmware?
Sorry for this noob question. Really appreciate your help, guys.

1)simply install viperS ROM 3.1.2.use 4ext recovery and before flashing enable smartflash from 4ext
2)just flash the rom and do as i said in first answer.if you have bootloops after installation then use the kernel flasher or
do it manually by extracting the boot.img of the rom,place it your adb and fastboot folder and type the command to cmd window
fastboot flash boot boot.img
note: connect the device to pc into fastboot mode(in the hboot screen should say fastboot usb)
3)yeap

[Q]Rogers One X Stuck in Bootloop

Hello all. So a friend of mine handed me his One X today and from what I gathered he was unable to flash CM after unlocking the bootloader and flashing CWM recovery. I figured I would give it a shot since I am familiar with flashing roms etc but wow what a difference it is for HTC devices!
I've spent the past 2 or 3 hours browsing this subforum however I feel like I could be just misinforming myself. The phone is a Rogers HTC One X the firmware version it was running I am unsure of as its currently stuck in bootloop. I've attached a screenshot below of the current fastboot menu. As it seems the bootloader is indeed unlocked however it is still s-on and stock recovery. If someone would be kind enough as to point me in the right direction of how to gain root and flash a recovery I would be super grateful. Feel free to PM me as well.
Thanks for your time.

What is the full filename of the ROM you're trying to flash? Also, the phone is s-on so you would need to flash the boot.img via fastboot to get it to boot.

Thanks for the reply. From what I was told he flashed the latest CM nightlies for Evita through CWM. Although now it appears to have the stock recovery.
So as far as gaining root and flashing a recovery, since the bootloader is unlocked can I not simply flash a recovery through fastboot and then flash a rom with SU like CM?

Yeah you can, use TWRP recovery instead of CWM though. Download TWRP 2.6 from here. Put the file in your fastboot folder. Connect phone in fastboot mode, open command prompt from within fastboot folder, issue the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "filename.img"
(the exact filename, minus the talking marks)
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now you have TWRP on the phone. Go into it, wipe cache/dalvik/factory reset/system, then install the ROM and gapps. Like I said though you'll need to flash the boot.img via fastboot afterwards. So once you've installed the ROM reboot to bootloader, grab the boot.img from the ROM zip and flash it using this command:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Once that's completed you should be able to reboot into the ROM. Please note though that some of the latest CM ROMs have a few bugs, including booting problems.
Sent from my Evita

Hey thanks again timaaa for the fast reply! I've successfully booted into CM now after flashing the boot.img. Regarding the bootloader should I be concerned with s-on? Will I run into trouble down the road because I do not have s-off?

Cool, glad you got it booted. In my opinion getting s-off would be a good idea. The benefits include the following:
Not needing to flash the boot.img from a ROM/kernel through fastboot anymore.
Being able to flash radios (s-on restricts this on phones with a hboot equal to or greater than 1.14).
Being able to change hboot freely (or just remove the red warning text from the startup screen).
Being able to change CID if needed.
Being able to flash the required firmware package which is required to run current Sense 5 ROMs.
In order to get s-off you first need SuperCID though, the hex edit method will be the best to use. Here's a link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2212737
Once you have SuperCID you can go ahead and get s-off here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155071
Both processes are pretty quick and simple, and the benefits are great.

[Q] Please help phone has no OS

Okay so here is what happened i unlocked my bootloader and rooted my phone using the all in one toolkit, i tried to flash a custom ROM using the GooManager app. This is where things went wrong. After flashing the ROM my phone shut off and would only turn on to the HTC Quietly Brilliant page at the beginning of the boot cycle, i made a backup but dont know how to find it. I somehow managed to wipe the entire phone and now i have no operating system. I had TWRP installed but cannot access it because i relocked the phone. Is there anyway to get this thing working again? any help would be much appreciated

Since you are s-on, you need to fastboot flash boot boot.IMG from the ROM you want to use. While you're at it you may as well just s-off your device. It will make things simpler in the end. You're going to have to unlock the boot loader again to flash the boot image though. You will also want to flash recovery again via fastboot.

Take a look at this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2136172
It will answer many of the questions that you have and provides links to appropriate tools.
You should definitely s-off your device now. Just look for the question in the thread I linked for more detail. Bookmark it as well, or add it to your favorites, as it will provide a great reference point for future use.
Once you have s-off, you will just have to flash any ROM you want from recovery. It will make your life way easier.

You need to get a ROM booting brute trying s-off. Don't use Goo Manager to install ROMs, install manually through TWRP recovery. Once you've installed the ROM reboot to the bootloader and flash the boot.img. Here's how to flash the boot.img.
Extract the boot.img from the ROM zip and copy it into your fastboot folder on your pc. After you've flashed the ROM and/or gapps, reboot to bootloader and connect your phone, make sure it says fastboot on your phone screen. Then you can issue the following command:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Now you can reboot your phone into the ROM.

This may go with out saying but when I'm in recovery and hit the reboot button and try to select "system" it comes up with a message telling me I have no OS installed and asks if I want to continue anyway..

Use the wipe menu in TWRP to do a full wipe (cache/dalvik/factory reset/system). Then use the install option to the install the ROM (and gapps if it's an aosp ROM). Then reboot to bootloader and flash the boot.img with fastboot. Then reboot your phone.

Mount your sdcard through TWRP. You should then be able to drag and drop the file from your computer to your sdcard. It should go without saying that your phone needs to be connected to your computer.

What ROM did you flash with Goo Manager?
You mount the sd card by going into the mount menu, then using the mount usb storage option.

[Q] Noob Needing Some Help

Hi,
Looking for some help with flashing ROMs
My phone is HBoot 2.15
Using TWRP v2.7.1.0
Every ROM I flash seems to install correctly but when booting I get the white HTC screen then the screen goes black and/or reboots (into a loop)
I'm using the HTC One S All-In-One Toolkit 'ADB Sideload a ROM' option to flash ROMs.
Phone was on Orange UK, CID ORANG001
Any ideas if I'm missing something simple?
Rob

I assume you're S-On, aren't you? Did you flash the kernel (boot.img) via fastboot after flashing the rom? Since you're S-On roms won't boot without this step.
