What are the correct fastboot commands to flash just the radio?
I want to flash the 4.3 radio while running 4.4.

I've flashed every single compatible kernel there is for android 4.0.4 (I'm using the lastest ViperXL Rom) and it keeps returning to the original kernel that comes with the rom.
Is this a rom limitation or something wrong with my recovery?

What's your hboot?
Are you flashing boot.img from fastboot first before you install the kernel, if you have 1.14?

I do have 1.14, although all the instructions on the kernels i've downloaded stated to just flash through twrp and enjoy?

fastboot flash boot boot.img
Or downgrade your hboot
Stock rooted 2.2, hboot 1.14, bootloader unlocked, S-Off, TWRP 2.3.3
I'm going to update to a newer ROM (Scott's CleanROM maybe, I like Sense) and I'd like to get the latest firmware and it seems that the easiest way to do that is to just run an RUU once rather than flashing multiple zips.
I've not run an RUU before so I'm a bit unclear what it does. I know it returns the phone to "stock" but some of the ancillary details aren't clear. Will it relock my bootloader? (Do I need to relock it before running the RUU?) Will it overwrite my recovery?
Should I run the latest RUU (3.18) before flashing a new ROM to get the lasted radios and other firmware? Or should I worry about that stuff after a new ROM? If I don't update the firmware and just flash a 4.1/4.2 ROM will that cause issues or instability?
No you don't need to relock sence you are s-off yes it will overwrite your recovery so after it is done you will need to fastboot a recovery with s-off you can run any ruu but I would recommend the newest one if you are going to run jb roms but you will need to downgrade your touchscreen firmware if you use aosp roms and older version of twrp there is a thread for that in original development

I've been through the Development subforum for the last 3 hours and am confused as all hell how to accomplish getting stock JellyBean update on this phone. I've tried flashing the ZIP from this thread, but it errors and I have to restore from a backup in order to boot completely. I've already checked that I downloaded the ZIP successfully (md5 matches).
Can some knowledgeable individual please provide a list of details steps to get me on the latest stock JellyBean ROM?
Current state:
HTC One S (T-mobile US)
Android 4.0.3, Sense 4.0, 1.84.531.2 710RD

Bootloader is UNLOCKED
Hboot = 1.09.0000
CID = 11111111 (was previously T-MOB010)
Radio = 0.16.31501S.16_2
Desired state:
Latest stock ROM
Latest Radio
Updated Hboot?
Downgrade TWRP to 2.3.3.0, your version is not working the way it should and follow the installation instructions given in your link (for noobs - also these are not noobish, just pretty exact, lol).
You should be ok then. Else come back here.

Link for TWRP ville 2.3.3.0
Boot into fastboot mode and flash from your android work directory typing/copying: 'fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.3.3.0-ville.img'
So the problem is TWRP?

Yes that could be the problem but you also need to flash the boot.img file after you installed the rom.
You can flash the boot.img file with Flash Image GUI: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1954121
Or extract the boot.img file from the rom and flash it in fastboot (bootlaoder) with the command: fastboot flash boot boot.img
As the title says my phone is stuck on the "initiating swagger" bootscreen from my last ROM. So initially I was trying to try out a new 4.3 based rom, but eventually figured out it wasn't working because my HBOOT is too old (1.14.002). From what I gather in order to upgrade my HBOOT safely, I need S-OFF. I had unlocked bootloader and SUPERCID but never got S-OFF. So I tried to restore to the backup I mad in TWRP, but that wouldn't make it past the bootloader, so I downloaded another 4.1.2 ROM instead, which got me to the previously mentioned bootscreen and thats as far as I go. What can I do from here? I gone through countless times, wiping cache,data, factory reset then installing rom, the loading boot.img, but I'm stuck. Any help would be appreciated.

hboot 1.14.002
If you're s-on you need to flash the boot.img from the ROM zip via fastboot.
And yes you must have s-off to safely run the 3.18 RUU to meet the requirements for the 4.2.2 ROMs.

I have been flashing the boot.img through the bootloader via fastboot. No luck.
Which version of TWRP are you using?

TWRP 2.5
That's good problem, 2.5 is full of bugs. You need to upgrade to at least the 2.6 version. Here's how:
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 can enter recovery on your phone and try again.

Awesome, that worked. Now in order to flash a 4.3 mod I need to get S-off and then upgrade the hboot, right? How to I upgrade the hboot?
Thanks a lot.
Actually nevermind, I put hboot 2.14 on there and am now running PACman rom. Thanks again.
I am currently S OFF, Hboot 2.16, on a 4.2.2 ROM. I wanna give CM11 a try.
FIXED.. NEW ISSUE
I FLASHED SLIMKAT HBOOT 2.16 VERSION ON CWM AND IT JUST WON'T BOOT, EVEN AFTER FLASHING THE BOOT.IMG. HELP PLEASE, MY INTERNET ISN'T STABLE SO DOWNLOADING RUU IS HARD.
try reflash the 2.16 firmware and then again unlock bootloader, flash the apropiate recovery and after that re wipe everything after you may push a zip to phone storage via adb and happy flash.
