Download a ROM, extract its boot.img then use fastboot command:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Oh and p.s dont use tools designed for other phones in future - why you needed one to htcdev unlock is beyond me though, the instructions are perfectly clear on the htcdev.com website

You need the adb/fastboot files to use the fastboot command, there is a link either in the "flashing ROM's with S-ON" guide or in the "Guide to S-OFF, custom recovery and SuperCID" thread - sorry, Im on my phone so cant link it.
Then put the files in C:\adb and open command prompt and type:
cd C:\adb
then press enter
Next you need to extract the boot.img from a Sense ROM zip file - any from the dev thread will do as long as its a Sense ROM - and place boot.img in the C:\adb folder then put phone into bootloader, connect to computer and select "fastboot USB" from the phones bootloader menu and then type the following command into command prompt:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
hit enter then type:
fastboot reboot
press enter and all done

By the way, the exact error is 'assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/newboot.img","boot")'

Yep, because you are S-ON, the script cant write to the boot partition which is why the fastboot flash boot boot.img workaround is needed

Do you know where the boot.img is located? I downloaded CoreDrod Sensation and cant seem to find it.
boot.img is located
try to explore or double click the ROM you download ROMname.rar boot.img must in the archive.

I dont know where its located in every ROM, just a few. My Sense 3.6 ROM boot.img is located in Extras/Kernel/ but most are just in the root of the file - I do things a little different because of the way my customizations in Aroma Installer work
Hi folks,
My DS is currently running ViperSaga, and it's affected by a camera bug which is supposedly fixed by swapping my radio version (10.08.04_M) to the one from the ICU RUU. Since I'm S-ON (though htcdev-unlocked -- of course, I will do 'fastboot oem lock' before proceeding any further ) and would prefer to stay that way, I'll simply need to flash the entire ICS RUU in order to upgrade my radio. However, my USB connection is not 100%, and it has a tendency to drop out after the phone has been connected for a random number of minutes (the phone then goes into charge-only mode and is no longer seen by adb). Obviously, it would be bad if this happened while running the official RUU.
My first thought was to flash the RUU manually (fastboot erase cache, fastboot oem rebootRUU, fastboot flash zip rom.zip), and if the USB were to cut out, to simply reconnect and re-issue the fastboot flash zip rom.zip command. However, I did some Googling and found that there was another way, namely to put the rom.zip onto a mSD card renamed to PG88IMG.zip (the same way you S-OFF folks flash your radios ) and to let hboot do the upgrade all on its own.
My question is this: when upgrading hboot (as I will, from 2.00.0002 to 2.02.0002), you are often asked to flash the image twice if you do it via fastboot oem rebootRUU. (hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately). Does the PG88IMG.zip flasher in hboot understand this and does it automatically flash itself a second time if needed?. I.e.: is it safe to upgrade hboot through PG88IMG.zip?
Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to make sure I'm as clear as possible as this is my main phone and I'd rather not brick it (though being able to take 5MP pictures on ViperSaga would be nice )
Thank you for your help!
I've decided to follow the following procedure:
1) reboot into Linux (USB seems more stable there)
2)
Code:
fastboot oem lock
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip rom.zip
(repeat last command because the flasher asked me to, as expected)
fastboot reboot-bootloader
3) Allow the system to boot, enable USB debugging, adb reboot-bootloader
4) re-unlock bootloader
5) flash recovery, boot.img, and ViperSaga
All is well
* How To Root, Update Firmware, & Flash A Custom ROM
*
--> Unlock your device
Step1. download and use this program to unlock your bootloader http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1604677
Step2. SuperCID your phone so you can S-OFF and so you can also write the T-MOB010 CID if you are on a different carrier and want to run this ROM. You will need to be CID T-MOB010 if you want to run the firmware.zip Follow this to SuperCID http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...1#post26516911
Step3. After you have sucessfully unlocked your bootloader and SuperCID you can either S-OFF your phone or Not, it is up to you. I would recommend you achieve S-OFF so you can flash radios, kernels, and boot.img's. Follow this to achieve S-OFF http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2155135
If everything went well you should be able to reboot into bootloader using the All In One Tool and in the top left your bootloader should say Unlocked, S-OFF, CID-1111111
--> Writing T-MOB010 CID
If you did everything right then your all set. Next you will want to run the fastboot command " fastboot oem writecid T-MOB010 " and reboot into bootloader again. Now in the top left it should say CID-T-MOB010. If you have made it this far you are doing great. Now we are going to run the firmware.zip package to ensure everything works without a problem.
--> Flashing the firmware.zip
You must know how to adb fastboot with command promt windows only
Download this :
https://db.tt/XhPpOiVS
Now if you are coming from STOCK OEM LOCKED T-MOBILE PHONE that already has Andorid 4.1.1 Jelly Bean on it then you do not need to do this step. You must be CID T-MOB010 to flash this or S-OFF CID 11111111
1. fastboot oem lock
2. fastboot erase cache
3. fastboot oem rebootRUU
4. fastboot flash zip firmware.zip, and you might get an error
5. fastboot flash zip firmware.zip again and it should pass and install a bunch of files should take about 2 minutes.
6. the phone does NOT reboot on its own so #7
7. fastboot reboot or fastboot reboot-bootloader
--> UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER AGAIN
Now we need to unlock the bootloader again so just do step 1 again but you will already have the Unlock_code.bin from the first time you unlocked you phone so no need to get another one from HTC but if for some funny reason it doesn't work you will need to just resubmit for a new one.
--> CUSTOM RECOVERY
After doing all the above steps you will need to install the custom recover. You will need to use TWRP 2.3.3 to insure no problems. Here is the link to download it http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/vil....3.0-ville.img after you download it go to the DIR where you have the HTC One S All-In-One Toolkit v3.5 extracted. example: C:\Users\yourusername\Downloads\One_S_All-In-One_Kit_v3.5\One_S_All-In-One_Kit_v3.5\Data\Recoveries and in the Recoveries folder rename the downloaded twrp2.3.3.img to TWRPS4.img and replace the one that is in the folder and then proceed to install the recovery.
--> Intermission
Your current phone status
Bootloader = Unlocked
S-OFF
HBOOT = 2.15
CID = T-MOB010
Custom Recovery = TWRP 2.3.3
You are now ready to flash any Jelly beam ROM.
i download l50 m8sx europa ruu.zip i pud sd card and update. but says : update failure . What can ı do? my phone not start freezes on the startup screen. Before i unlock the bootloader but i want to update with lolipop ruu so i relock. help me guys. i cant find m8sn ruu . where can ı find?

4. S On need to relock bootloader (fastboot oem lock) , S Off lock not needed
5. Also use the htc_fastboot.exe not the normal fastboot.exe
get the htc_fastboot.exe here : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934539737
Run the following commands from your adb folder:
6.fastboot oem rebootRUU
7.fastboot flash zip RUU.zip
8.fastboot reboot
In this thread u can find "HOW TO COMPLETLY RELOCK DEVICE" / UNBRICK TUTORIAL
" ADB COMMAND METHOD":
In this method You can find how to unbrick device
If your device is only capable to access fastboot mode only
1.Find your stock firmware HERE
2.DOWNLOAD HuaweiUpdate extrator below in download section
3.open HuaweiUpdateExtractor select the update.app which was extracted from firmware zip
4.then extract the following files :::
1.boot .img
2.cust.img
3.recovery.img
4.system.img
Then boot your device into fastboot ,open adb command then flash
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
6. fastboot reboot
device is now working but bootloader is still unlocked.
to lock the bootloader reboot your device into fastboot mode type ::: fastboot oem lock (your 16 digit bootloader code)
if it fails then copy the update.app which was extrated earlier into sd card / dload
then force update by pow+volume +&volume-
THAT'S it UR DEVICE IS NOW FULLY LOCKED.
