I used the hasoons2000 tool kit. I unlocked bootloader an flashed recovery twrp. What are the steps to flash cyanogen?
Noob question.. -_- don't I need to "root" then flash a rom or will flashing the rom root my phone. I had done this before just for the purpose of controlling my cpu. Soo I didn't really care for roms I just followed a tutorial. I'm inclined enough to get it done so any help would be extremely appreciated.

Ok so I need to know you're hboot boot into bootloader and that info will be on top...and that's a good question you ask why don't you have root acess yet? Well with newer HTC's we have to unlock bootloader than flash a recovery than flash a Rom or root in your case a Rom which gives you root to .... But what's your hboot? 1.14 or 1.09
1.14 thank you for tryin dude

Ok so for hboot 1.14 you have to fastboot flash the boot img of the Rom before or after you flash doesn't matter...so do that go wipe in recovery and than go flash the Rom and gapps
So the boot icon from the cm10mod dl I put in my phone so where, boot in recovery an install it. Using twrp

Nonono! So you see the boot.img from the cm download in the zip take that place it in your adb fastboot folder on your computer wherever you may have...put your phone in fastboot ..open a command prompt from your fastboot folder and type fastboot flash boot boot.I'mg
Does the img an fast boot need to be in there own folder? So do that an then throw the whole zipped rom file on the phone an install through recovery?

The fastboot is something accessed by going into your bootloader (by holding power+vol down). Then connect your phone to your PC and flash boot.img by typing in: "fastboot flash boot boot.img" in command prompt. The boot.img can be found in every .zip file of a rom

As kittens mentioned, boot.img needs to be in the same folder as fastboot.exe. I'd recommend making a folder for these files, somewhere easy to navigate to. You will have to open a command prompt window, then change directory to the folder containing boot.img and fastboot.exe.
tried it, when i turn it on it has the first screen an says devo mode **** an the the screen goes black. plz help i want it normal im done with this

I flashed Jellybam by going through their instructions, just going through twrp clearing my data and then flashing the rom.
I am now stuck on the boot logo and can't connect it to the computer as it won't recognize it what can I do at this stage. I followed all the directions, it was rooted. Should i let the battery drain out or what?
Any help would be appreciated.
Did you flash boot.img after flashing rom?

Open ROM on your PC.. Extract it to where you have fastboot installed.. Reboot your phone to bootloader and select fastboot then connect to pc your phone should now say.... fastboot usb.....Open terminal either in that directory or navigate to it and type
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
After its done
Fastboot wipe cache..... Then go back to recovery and wipe both caches it should boot after that..

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong here. I am running 2.2 rooted and unlocked boot loader. No matter what I try whenever I install a custom rom ( tried cm 10 first) then Jelly Bam, I just get stuck in a boot loop! Can someone help me figure out what it is I'm doing wrong here? Please!

Yes , unzip the Rom to your computer , download fast boot folder HTC one xl, copy and paste boot.img from the Rom folder into fastboot folder on desktop. Now full screen fast boot folder and and move mouse pointer off any files and hold left shift and right click in empty spot on folder and choose open cmd prompt here from menu. It should open up cmd console with fastboot adrress. Place phone in fastboot mode on bootloader screen and hookup usb phone to comp. Next in command prompt type fastboot flash boot boot.img and press enter . Disconnect phone and reboot system, allow a few minutes for it to boot ....enjoy here is a Link also for tutorial on fastboot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752270

I've done it both ways and it doesn't really seem to matter, but it is usually easier to do it before, as it is done in fastboot, and it is easier to get into recovery from fastboot than the other way around.
Where do I go from here?
Flashed the boot img from GUI flash on the preceding rom. Did the wipe and installed from the sd card file I have there with roms listed. Thing went fine. the Cyanogen circle came up and booted to the "updateing apps" that went fine now its stuck on "unfortunately , the process com.android phone has stopped. and ok below that.
What do I do now, I hit ok and the message comes back up. I see Welcome in blue letters behind and set language behind that .

You can follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1982442 to downgrade your hboot to 1.09, then you wouldn't need to flash boot.img any more. But you have to be very careful. I bricked mine half way through it, but managed to unbrick it finally.

I believe you must flash the boot.img separately prior to flashing the rom.
you have to fastboot flash the boot img if you dont know how read this

Yes that is correct. You need to extract the boot.img out of the zip file. Put it int he same folder as your adb and fastboot files. Put your phone into the bootloader and select fastboot. Then hook it up to your computer, and it should change to fastboot usb. now in the adb/fastboot folder, hold down shift and right click,and select open command prompt. type the following command: fastboot flash boot boot.img once it says OKAY, on your phone select reboot, and it should boot up normal

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.

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, if anyone can help me solve this, I will be eternally grateful.
So I was following the CyanogenMod guide for installing the ROM on my HTC One S, but I foolishly flashed the ROM as a .zip, instead of the boot.img.
I can access the bootloader screen, and also the TeamWin recovery screen, but I cannot seem to use flashboot.
It always comes up as <waiting on device>.
I am lost, because I obviously used flashboot to flash the recovery and the ROM across to my phone, and all the files are still in the same folder.
Basically, I cannot start my phone, other than into the recovery screen or the bootloader screen. I cannot seem to flash anything across either.
If anyone can solve this issue from this poor explanation I will be more than impressed.
Many thanks.

It is waiting for device because the phone isn't in bootloader (fastboot USB) connected to pc...most likely.
So with phone in bootloader and it reads fastboot USB
from your fastboot folder press shift and right click to open command window.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
(this assumes you have put the boot.img in the fastboot folder)
Then go to recovery
install rom.zip
wipe the caches
If you don't have the rom.zip on your phone then mount usb storage in twrp and move the rom.zip from your pc to your phone.
Hopefully your Hboot is 2.15 or you will just bootloop.

So can I clarify that I need to flash both the boot.img file and the rom.zip separately. Then install the rom.zip, not the boot.img?
Because I install the rom.zip last time without the boot.img being flash, and thats when it messed up.
Basically, am I installing the .zip or the .img?
Thanks a million.

.img , you need to extract boot.img from ROM zip and than just "fastboot flash boot boot.img" ,no quotes in command -that is for boot.img and you do flash ROM as a zip

Next issue. I have flashed the boot.img to the phone, now I need to get the rom.zip onto the phone.
Everytime I click mount on TWRP, my computer tells me that I must format the disk before I can use it.
I can't seem to use adb, I always get "no device found".
Any ideas?
adb push ROM.zip /sdcard ,ROM needs to be in fastboot folder, are U s-off or s- on ,did U flash ROM zip before soft brick, can U see files from TWRP when U go to install from sd...some info that is important,if all fails think you'll have to run RUU to fix memory partitions

I did flash the rom.zip before the soft-brick, but when it bricked, I wiped the memory and cache, reset to factory settings. So there is currently no files on the phone.

I wiped it all via the TWRP recovery.
Any chance you could walk me through RUU? Or at least point me in the right direction.
It does sound like it would be easiest just to start all over again. What's the best way to do this?

Not sure if this makes a difference, but when connected to my PC, my phone is called "My HTC".
I remember reading somewhere that it should be called an Android ADB Device or something similar?
