all kernels can be flashed from recovery
if you are S-ON use 4ext recovery and enable smartflash before flashing a kernel

Hi, I flashed rom, but wifi is not working.
If someone could assist me with hboot and radio?
With other roms I had no trouble with anything, so some assist with hboot and radio would be needed to get this rom working.
ViperSAGA 2.1.1 with all otas
HBOOT-2.00.0002
RADIO-3822.10.08.04_M
stock kernel, Amibuddha btb and patched
with either wifi not working... :/
AW: ViperSAGA 2.1.1 Wifi not working
I don't think this can have anything to do with radio or hboot. I assume you flashed the boot.img after flashing the Rom and after every kernel installation (the boot.img from the kernel you flashed)?

Well, I havent flashed boot.img separately. I tried yesterday other roms also, (desire xs and sabsa) . Aroma should flash correct boot.img? i assume.

You are htcdev unlocked, still s-on. This means you can't write to the /boot partition from recovery, only through fastboot. So after flashing a new Rom or kernel, you have to extract the boot.img and flash it manually in cmd.

You CAN flash roms with hboot 1.27 and S-ON.
The most likely reason for a bootloop is incorrect boot.img
Either flash roms using 4ext SmartFlash
Or manually flash boot.img via
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

IF you have 4ext recovery (enable smartflash), perform a full wipe (after backup) and flash.
ELSE, extract boot.img from your rom, boot into fastboot and use
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
I'm on HBOOT 1.27.00000 and S-ON.
Now I've just flashed MIUI v5 4.2.14 and it won't boot after restart.
It stays at the HTC white screen.
Is there anyone kind enough to guide me how to properly install MIUI, or, at least back to the stock rom?
I'm desperately needing help here :crying:

I finally figured it out.
After flashing the rom, have to flash the boot.img (inside the rom zip file) as well, using the command:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Now I'm able to boot into MIUI and enjoy the new rom!
I never have to do this extra step with flashing my Desire HD, not sure why it doesn't work this time.
Anyway, thanks for your help

So I don't really need S-OFF to flash any custom roms that I want right?
I will just have to take the extra step of flashing boot.img..
Because I can't seem to work out S-OFF on my sensation despite whole afternoon of hard-works.
Is there an easy way to S-OFF sensation other than the paper-clip hack?

no need to S-OFF for flashing custom roms
and unfortunately there is no other way except wire trick
but you can always flash 4ext recovery and avoid the extra step for boot.img

Did you format all praticions except sd card from recovery and after that did you enable smartflash before flashing the rom? If yes for both, you'll need to flash boot.img from pc via fastboot here is a guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861 step EXTRA1

no you don't need S-OFF for flashing roms
but you have to do an extra step after flashing the rom
to flash the boot.img via fastboot command
or install 4ext recovery and before flashing the rom enable smartflash from 4ext

yes i know that part. about fastboot. hmmm i've found the solution but thanks. anyways. it turns out that the apps force close when there is no sdcard. yeah literally when there is no sdcard. browser, mms and some apps won't work :V
