[Q] Can't boot after CM9[SOLVED]

Hey XDA
I tried to install CM9 today, it fail...
I have unlocked my phone using htcdev.com.
Then I followed this:
If you unlocked your phone via htcdev.com, you must flash the included
boot.img after flashing the ROM in recovery:
- Boot into fastboot, either by:
- Turning phone on whilse holding VOLUME DOWN, or
- adb reboot bootloader, or
- using an option in your recovery (eg. Reboot Bootloader)
- Connect your phone to your PC and copy the boot.img from the ROM .zip
to the same place as fastboot.exe and issue the following command:
- fastboot flash boot boot.img
Failing to follow these instructions on a htcdev.com unlocked device will
cause the ROM to fail to boot.
And now it just stands with a mobile and a ret warning sign. I can get in bootloader, but that's all. I have the CM9.zip on the sdcard but I forgot to run it before I did the above mentioned. I have tried to reset the mobile from bootloader nothing helps
Pleas help me what should I do?

So what is your problem exactly ? Do you have a custom recovery like 4EXT ? It's needed in order to apply the CM9.zip.

None
No i have not installed any recovery app. I cant start my mobile

1.install a custom recovery like 4ext or cwm
(2. Backup current system) this time you don't have to do this since you don't have a working system at the moment.
3. Full wipe (data, system, boot, caches... Not sd card) from recovery
4. Flash ROM zip from recovery
5.flash boot.img via adb
6.reboot
7.done

I'm assuming you know how to boot into fastboot and use fastboot and adb commands. If not, just click on the link in my signature under Helpful links.
Once you're done, just put the attached file in your adb folder, then boot into fastboot and issue the command ;
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

You will now have the custom 4EXT Recovery. From there, just follow the steps you outlined in your first post, and you should be up and running.
Cheers.
EDIT: I see you already got it working while I was composing my post. Congrats!

"Fastboot flash boot boot.img" make sure u type boot twice.
Do factory reset/wipe data and wipe cache. Flash rom. Reboot into bootloader. Fastboot flash boot boot.img. reboot phone. Then reboot back into recovery to flash gapps. Should work "

so did you already flash the (right) boot.img via fastboot?

If you haven't, extract the boot.img file from the .zip and place it where you have adb/fastboot (Android SDK). Then boot into bootloader, go into Fastboot, plug phone in for "Fastboot USB" then type the following in command prompt and reboot.
fastboot flash boot boot.img

ive tried all that boot.img from zip even another one with the download no luck just stuck on boot with that cm9 rom on loop thanks for your help though guys any other suggestions other then just shooting myself in the head??lol

Try flashing Paranoid/AOKP and then flashing back to CM9.

flash older cm9 rom?
this is my first attempt of any ROM for this phone starting with cm9 alpha 13 does anyone recomend maybe installing a older alpha?? maybe alpha 10 cm9?? idk

Try flashing the latest alpha 14. Maybe you got a bad download of alpha 13.

did you solve your problem?
if not & you're not quite shure about flashing the boot.img properly with fastboot I set up a Tutorial yesterday:
[Tutorial] How to flash a new boot.img via Fastboot
perhaps this might help you if the above one didn't fix your problems:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667929

I had the same problem. But this worked for me.
wipe all -> flash cm9 14 -> wipe all -> flash gapps -> wipe all -> fastboot flash boot boot.img ( i used the touchfix one ).
then i got in.. but took some time first load. But now i cant get wifi to work and cant see simcontacts. Drives me nuts.
Just reflashed all with no luck.

Flash the boot.img from the zip via fastboot.
You can find the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25587345
Make sure you use the boot.img from the zip & not the one from the guide.

HI
So just to make sure these are the steps:
Put the"boot.img" in your "C:\Android" (or wherever your adb and fastboot are located)
Shift right click in the white space on that folder
Select "Open command window here
Type in: adb
Type in: adb reboot-bootloader
Your phone will reboot, wait until you see a white screen which says "FASTBOOT USB"
Type in: "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
Wait until it's done flashing
Type in: "fastboot reboot"
One more thing i didnt see the boot.img in the zip of the kernel there are three folders:
1- kernel
2- META-INF
3- system
In the kernel folder there are these files:MKbootimg,dd,unpackbootimg,zImage,mkbootimg.sh,modclean.sh
What to do I am so confused

thats a recovery flashable zip
you can flash that via recovery only
as you are SON ...better have 4EXT recovery
there ..just enable smartflash in 4EXT-> tools and then flash the kernel package
EDIT:
this thread explains the reason for error 7 and the probable fix

hi

Help CMW won't boot to recovery

[SOLVED] (not sure how to tag as solved in the title, if mods can do that please or tell me how)
Flashed Clockwork Mod Recovery following these instuctions
droidviews.com/2013/install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-motorola-droid-razr-hd-xt925gsm/
Installed Rom manager.
Booting into recovery results in robot on his back with the triangle and exclamation point animation and stays there unless I
force reboot by holding the power button. Phone boots to stock rom or fastboot just fine.
Tried reflashing CWM just in case.
I am rooted via motochopper
Unlocked bootloader via motopocalyspe.
I factory reset my phone prior to all this so there are only a few apps installed, also SuperSU installed.
Rogers version XT925
Anyone else have this issue or know how to fix it?

Thanks for the quick reply; yes that is the command I used to flash the recovery image to my phone.

check see if your recovery image is in the same directory as your fastboot eg Cmd > cd C:/fastboot flash recovery recovery.Img
I always paste my files directly into cd C:/ .
If you have them in a folder in c it would be ' cd C:/folder name here fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

They are in the same folder, in the mean time I actually found another thread with the same problem. I guess I didn't search hard enough the first time before posting. I found a 1 click installer for CWM/TWRP that fixed my issue. I'm guessing I may have just had a bad recovery img or something.
