You need to flash boot.img everytime that you flash a new rom.
1. Extract boot.img from the ROM you want.
2. boot into recovery, select fast boot
3. In command line type: fastboot flash boot boot.img [press enter] (in folder where you installed fastboot)
thats it!

should we flash the rom afterwards

What recovery are you using?
Format all partitions except sd, flash rom through recovery, flash gapps through recovery then flash boot.img with adb whilst phone in fastboot. If your stuck at any point click the link in my sig, post 2 contains a link to how to install 4ext and custom rom with clear instructions that you could copy and paste into cmd

That's it, hboot is fine, if your flashing a newer version of the same rom you can get away with just formatting cache and dalvic, you'll still need to flash the boot.img though.

fastboot flash rom

can i fastboot flash a rom or other zip? i've run into a problem after flashing a rom that wont boot and twrp wont mount data or my internal storage so i cant flash anything else. any help would be appretiated

I dont know how to do it, but have heard you can use the sideload feature of the twrp recovery to flash a rom. Or you could try flashing the new twrp recovery if your not on the new one. The new twrp 2.8.0.3 recovery was released on 9-30-14 last I checked its not updated on xda yet but you can get it on the twrp recovery web site which its on the link below, its the newest one on the bottom of the list.

worse case scenario, run the RUU, fastboot flash recovery recovery.img then install ROM in recovery.

Honestly, you might as well apply the whole RUU and get yourself back to a working stock before putting another custom ROM back on. Follow the OP in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2873144

I tried every method possible and none worked, I recently cracked my screen so I just took this as a sign and went ahead and got it replaced with insurance. Thanks for all the suggestions

did your recovery constantly reboot into a white htc screen ?

Are you using the correct Vzw version of twrp or cwm?

Bootloop Issue

Hi
I have been using MIUI custom ROMs for quite some time.
I am using 4EXT Recovery Touch with SMARTFlash ON and my device is not S-OFF
Yesterday I installed the latest version (full ROM) and these are the steps I followed.
1. clear dalvik+cache
2. format all partitions (except sd card)
3. installed new ROM
4. Reboot
Now it is stuck at the white HTC logo screen and is not moving past that screen.
Then I tried to reinstall the previous version of the ROM which was working on my mobile that dint help either.
Also later I tried to restore my existing backup by clearing the dalvik+cache, formatting all partitions and then restored. This also dint help..still stuck at the htc logo screen.
Can you please help.
Thanks

i think you need to update your 4ext recovery version
also try to flash the boot.img via fastboot command

I am not sure, but for fastboot to work we need to have the USB debugging options working isnt it? Since I flashed the ROM now. I am not sure if fastboot would recognize my phone. As I said I am not sure, I will try it out and let you know. Thanks for the help

Stuck in ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.0.9

Hi
Tried to flash my HTC with cm-12.1-20151018-UNOFFICIAL-pyramid - now stuck in recovery mode
Had a backup of previous system, tried restore but it won't boot into original system, just ends up in recovery mode.
Have rooted phone, installed CWR, and copied the cm-12.1-20151018-UNOFFICIAL-pyramid.zip and the gapps-lp-20141109-signed.zip to the SD card. when trying to install it fails - seems it has some mount problems ?
Please help

change your recovery to 4ext
http://d-h.st/rG7
extract the recovery.img and flash it via fastboot
the command is fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
then from 4ext
format all partitions except sdcard
enable smartflash (only if you are on S-ON)
flash the rom
done

Screen flaw as well

Thanks a lot !
Managed to flash the 4ext, and it's running well. But I ran into another problem that makes me wonder if I should discard the Sensation totally. I started this because I wanted to give it to a friend, I currently have a S4 active.
When I changed from HTC to Samsung it was mostly because I tought it was too slow, but in the end there was also a issue with the upper right corner of screen starting to be unresponsive. Seems the flaw have gotten bigger, and now it seems that a larger portion of the screen failing - I can't even manage to press install from SD card in 4ext - lol
**** happens !!
