after bootloader unlock. the first thing is to flash custom recovery twrp 2.3.3.1 or under or official cwm
if youre not s-off you need to extract the boot.img from whatever rom youre flashing and then flash it using fastboot. (fastboot flash boot boot.img)
once you s-off this step is no longer needed.

Hi I recently obtained a bunch of free smart phones via my job at t-mobile and people upgrading and just not wanting their old smart phones. One of them was a HTC sensation. I have rooted many phones for years now but this one wants to give me issues. I rooted it, got super user installed and CWM recovery and installed jellybean. When it boots into CM10 it never gets past the boot screen. In HBOOT it says son rl HBOOT 1.27.0000. I cannot for the life of me figure out what is wrong. I did a full wipe and everything. Lucky for me this is a play phone but I still would like to get it up and running. If anyone could please help me figure this out. Thank you
First, please do not post questions in the dev section.
Second, you're s-on so you have to flash your boot.img through fastboot. The boot partition is protected with s-on...
And where do I obtain the boot.img? Sorry for posting here I guess nobody had a problem with it in the DINC forums.

First get familiar with fastboot commands: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Fastboot
You'll need adb and fastboot setup on your computer and you'll use the following command from terminal or cmd prompt:
Code:
fastboot flash boot /path/to/<boot>.img
Your other option is to flash a rom that uses the stock boot image. There are two TMOUS based roms to choose from: mine, or ARHD.
Have you update to Firmwaer 3.33?

AAHK is retired. Root by unlocking the boot loader, flashing a recovery from fast boot, and flashing su or a rooted ROM from there.

Then what "hack kit" is it that you are running and that is updating the radio? And you can't have both S-Off and an unlocked bootloader.

According to its filename, that's an old AAHK. It's unsupported and the files it needs have been taken down.

There isn't one. You can only unlock the bootloader. There are people who say you can use AAHK with the right RUU for your phone, and there's a manual method. But both are unsupported.

You can root your device without downgrading. Unlock your bootloader on htcdev.com, install a custom recovery (over fastboot), flash supersu or superuser in recovery.
If you want to downgrade, you'll have to unlock on htcdev.com, root your phone like above, then use misc_version to change the version reported by your phone, relock the bootloader and run the older RUU.

Hi everyone
I just got this inspire 4g from AT&T yesterday and I rooted it and tired to install a custom rom but it always freeze in HTC screen after I install custom roms, so I get back to sock rom witch i made a backup before, I searched more I found that i have to S-Off it the Hboot screen shows this informations :
*** UNLOCKED ***
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT- 2.00.0030
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.17.14.11_M
eMMC-BOOT
I wanna s-off it but I am afraid to make something stupid and I found that i must downgrade something so I am confused, so if anyone can help me out it will be great.
thanks
PS: just one more question the inspire 4g sound is too weak, is it normal?
You don't need S-Off to flash ROMs. With S-On, you need to fastboot flash the boot.img from inside the ROM zip.

Does the boot.img need to be in a zip folder? If the answer is yes, then does that folder need to have a specific name?
I'm stuck on the HTC splash screen and been looking at this so much that I'm crosseyed now. I have been to umpteengillion forums (actually the same ones over and over that my searches take me to) I'm been trying to read and do this on my own. I feel like I most likely need help now.
Any help is apperciated

There's a manual S-Off method available on attn1's AAHK website. It explains how to do what AAHK used to do automatically, manually.

What exactly is s-off
Hi all,
I understand that s-on means that when you flash a rom, you also have to flash the kernel manually from fastboot, but I wanted to know what exactly is s-off/s-on. From my reading and googling it seems like it's the HTC sync function, how does this impede the flashing of a kernel? I'm interested in the under the hood stuff as well as well so it'd be nice to gain some insight into this.
It is not the HTC Sync function. The HTC Sync application merely installs the adb and fastboot drivers (I mean, it does other stuff too, but that's all that really matters in this context). I think S-On means Security On. Certain partitions can't be flashed from recovery (boot) or at all (radio). S-Off is Security Off. All partitions flashable.
Hi guys please help me.
I tried to flash my fone with this rom. :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2438840
I do everything i think. But now my phone didnt start and restarting several times. now i can see boot and enter fastboot,
its unlocked and hboot 2.14.
i try recover and reset and wipe and every thing. please help me get my phone back.
how could i flash from fastboot with usb?
What recovery and version?
S-off or S-on. If S-on, you need to extract boot.img from the ROM package, and flash using fastboot every time you flash a ROM.
And searching would have found this answer, there are hundreds of threads detailing this.

You should not be flashing anything, if you don't even know what recovery you've installed. Boot into recovery, does it say TEAMWIN when recovery starts up? If so, it will say what version number at the top of the menu screen.

So you can't get into recovery at all? My suggestion is to run the 3.18 RUU and leave it stock until you understand what you're doing.

The vague description of what you did either means:
1) You are too lazy to tell us exactly what steps you did. Which makes it hard to help, since we need as much information as possible, or
2) You don't actually remember what you did, which is disturbing. It suggests a poor understanding of what you are doing, and/or trying things in hurry, without keeping track of what you did.
You need to tell us in detail, step by step what you have tried to this point.
You've likely messed up recovery by doing something you shouldn't have. I tend to agree with timmaaa to just return to stock until you have a better understanding of what you are doing.
Thank you
