[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!

@op could you please update the thread title to something like [solved]

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

You first have to unlock the phone's bootloader, then install cwm or twrp

Was the command you used:
fastboot flash recovery cwm-*.img
???
And, what exactly is the cmd output you are getting?

I think you downloaded the recovery image of another device. Try redownloading the file.

Use stock files, not custom. Extracted from a stock ROM for L04.

i tried that but same error

Try to use H6 multitool ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6/general/honor6-multi-tool-t2963060 ) and reinstal stock recovery. You have to start the program using Honor6MultiTool.bat file and folowing the instruction on the screen. The program will get the recovery file from net automaticaly. After that try to write using the steps from 2nd post or use the same H6 multitool with unbrick solution.

try disconnecting the usb data cable after each fastboot command

root needed
Hi there,
seems like you lost root access when you flashed stock hence you keep getting the error try re-rooting your phone and then flash all files mentioned again,maybe that will help best of luck hope this helpsDont forget to thank
