Are you S-off? If not, you need to fastboot flash the kernel after flash ROM. Check the stickies.
Edit: or use flash image GUI to flash the kernel/boot.IMG.

While you read up on how to do that just restore the backup you made in twrp of your stock rom.

Okay so I'm running into a small issue and it really doesn't matter to me in the end but I would like to use the Viper boot img rather than the Sprint obviously. I originally flashed 3.1.4 using twrp and i can do everything i want to. However, since im in s-on mode I couldn't flash the boot img and when trying to use the img flasher, it recognizes my device, reboots to fastboot. Then my computer doesn't see the device anymore and the flasher times out and fails.
Is there a link to the latest HTC drivers im maybe missing or do i need to be in bootloader first and install a new driver? I tried going into bootloader where the tool says its rebooting to but same thing.
Again, not the biggest deal in the world but the sprint boot is just terrible.
Any input is appreciated and awesome job Team Venom, keep on being awesome!
Thanks!

Okay so I got it to install now, though quick question, doesn't this boot consist of a Viper boot img instead of the Sprint logo on boot?
I tried pointing to the boot.img in the img flasher and also in the Viper 3.1.4 folder... maybe i was just thinking of something else and it was for just a faster boot time.
In any case, thanks for your help.

boot.img is the kernel. You are talking about a boot animation. 2 completely different things.

Hi I am almost sure i bricked my phone, i can't make it pass the boot screen on any rom i try to put on the recovery. Yes, recovery is working, what i did to make it this state surprises me, I was trying to put Miuiu on my phone, i followed the instructions and downloaded the app called "Flash Image Gui" and well i did, the problem was that after i did, it asked me to install another app and that started giving me errors, i could not make calls just receive, and whenever someone texted me it would tell me than "The customer you are trying to text is temporarily out of service" ...after that i tryed changing to another rom and when i did it kept doing the same errors, not even data worked. well to get to the point i wanted to install miuiu and i did try. i openeed the app flash image gui and tryed to install the rom...after that it told me to boot, and thats the last thing i did before my endless boot screens for all 4 roms i have tried..i dont know what to do anymore. :/
if anybody could help me, i have been trying all day to make it at least show me the homescreen. but nothing passes the bootscreen. it just freezes there..
edit
i was also trying a RUU.exe stock...but i cant go to homescreen for it to be able to detect my phone :/
If you can still get into recovery, it can't be all bad! Have you tried flashing the super wipe script before flashing a ROM

Your not bricked lol Does your recovery still work? I don't use flash gui...
You might need to flash another recovery to your phone...
What were you using?
As long as you didn't mess around with radios or prl's you should be safe...
Snag another recovery flash it fastboot flash it and find another rom take a copy of the boot.img from it place it in your platform tools folder where adb is is...
Now wipe everything in recovery other then SD card and then
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
then go into recovery and flash the rom you wanted....

If your on windows 7 you can just hold shift down right click on the folder adb is in and say open cmd prompt here ..... makes things easy
Where is ADB installed under? Mine is in the platform tools folder.
You open the rom on your computer take a copy of the boot.img
Place it in the folder where adb is... Hook your phone up with the usb cord to computer
Place the rom on you SD card
Then go into recovery and wipe everything like normal
type adb reboot bootloader
then when it says fastboot when your in Hboot type : fastboot flash boot boot.img
Once it's done go into your recovery and flash the rom..

try fastboot (see attached)
Plug phone into computer with usb boot into the bootloader and select fastboot
it should show fastboot USB
Unip the attachment into a folder then move the boot.img from the rom you are using into that folder
open the start here.bat
type fastboot flash boot boot.img
let it work and then your phone should boot
just do that when you wanna flash a new rom.

You need to flash that kernel when you install the rom.
I am going to try this right now, I hope this works, I've been trying for 2 days now going from stock to different ICS ROMS without being able to get past the HTC screen on a ROM
Before you do that you might try flashing the kernel out of the rom zip with Flash img gui, tell it to reboot to recovery and then flash the rom. The only reason I recommend this is that chads kernel will break 3d and mount sd via usb.
So I'm having the exact same symptoms as OP but I'm S-OFF and GSM, I don't know if there is something like the fix you posted birddog_61 that could help me in my case.
Unfortunately this did not work for me, I did a superwipe, flashed the ROM, and then flashed the kernel, then rebooted and still cannot get past the damn HTC screen, any other advice?

Curious question but have you tried any of the Sense 4.0 ROMs cause those work for me but whenever I install a 3.6 ROM(atleast the ones based on the leak) my phone reboots every 10 seconds, It's just a little odd that for such a rare problem, it'd be someone with such a different configuration that I have.

Well I'm on GSM so we don't have the exact same ROMs but I used Shooter Ice, in my case flashing the boot.img for Shooter Ice over Virtuous 3.0.2(a ROM based on the leak) actually fixed the bootloop though the system was too unstable to use. But try something not based on the leak since that did work for me(though none of those ROMs are fully functional).

Ok try this, go back to a rom that will boot for you. Boot up and download Flash Image Gui. Now make sure the rom zip file is on your sd card. Open flash image gui and grant it super user permission, make sure kernel image is selected and also clear dalvik and clear cache are checked. Click on the browse button at the top and find the rom zip file on your sd card and tell the prompt yes to extract the kernel. Now it will flash the kernel and ask you to reboot, tell it to reboot to bootloader. From there get into recovery and flash your rom like normal.

Didn't work for me(not that I really thought it would but I'm pretty desperate at this point), if he's having the same issue I am(atleast the OP had the same bootloop I do), I know in my case it's the boot.img not getting along with something, what that something is I'm still trying to figure out though.
Now that the new hboot doesn't allow S-ON devices to flash kernels I went ahead and adapted this for the LTE. It's something I started for the Evo 3D back in January, but when a new way to get S-OFF was found I sat it aside and had forgotten about it.
When used it tries to flash the kernel like normal and doesn't do anything special if able to, otherwise it will copy a script to the system partition and install the kernel when the ROM tries to boot up. All that's needed is for a few lines to be added to the updater-script and it can do the rest.
I'll update this with more information at a later time, but for now I just want to say thank you to everyone who has helped contribute ideas and tested. As always, any help with improving it is welcomed.
How To Use It
This is mainly for ROM and kernel devs to use before releasing, but it can easily be added to any that don't normally use it. For more detailed instructions see Page 3.
Download and add the "kernel" folder to your update zip
Edit your updater-script and use the following when you are ready to install the boot.img
Code:
ui_print("Installing Kernel, please wait...");
package_extract_file("boot.img", "/tmp/boot.img");
package_extract_dir("kernel", "/tmp/kernel");
set_perm_recursive(0, 2000, 0777, 0777, "/tmp/kernel");
run_program("/tmp/kernel/install_kernel.sh", "/tmp/boot.img", "/tmp/bootready.tmp");;
ifelse(file_getprop("/tmp/bootready.tmp","kernel.ready") != "READY",(
ifelse(file_getprop("/tmp/bootready.tmp","kernel.ready") == "STARTUP",
ui_print("Kernel Will Be Installed On Startup."),
ui_print("ERROR: Kernel Not Installed!")
)
));
Sign the zip and it can then be installed like normal from any device with a custom recovery
Changes
v0.57
flashboot.sh - Fixed the case statement that verifies the kernel flashed properly
flashboot.sh - Moved the call for DD to save the old kernel so that it always gets used
Downloads/Sources
Kernel Folder on DevHost (MD5: 27eB86aae3562e147d86b8dfe7a04786)
Google Code
Github - All files including the flashboot binary source
How Can I Test It With S-OFF?
If you comment out the dd command that writes the boot.img it will act like your device has S-ON.
Edit install_kernel.sh and change:
Code:
echo "-Trying to write the new boot.img and verify it's MD5"
$BBDD if=$BOOTPADDED of=$BLOCKBOOT; sync
rm -f $BOOTOLD
to:
Code:
echo "-Trying to write the new boot.img and verify it's MD5"
#$BBDD if=$BOOTPADDED of=$BLOCKBOOT; sync
rm -f $BOOTOLD
Where Are The Log Files?
In the recovery it uses: /tmp/recovery.log
On boot it uses: /data/local/bootinfo.txt
What Does This Need To Work?
A custom recovery
A valid kernel already installed with init scripts to start either /system/bin/app_process or /system/bin/netd
What Recoveries Does It work With?
Most of my testing has been done with TWRP, but it should work just as well with any other recovery
Why Did My Phone Reboot Back To The Recovery?
If it is unable to flash the kernel it will leave the old one in place and reboot back to the recovery. If you are able to, please pull the log file from /data/local/bootinfo.txt and send it to me so I can see what needs to be fixed.
What If I Get A Bootloop?
Either the kernel you flashed doesn't work with your ROM or there was an error and it's unable to reboot back to the recovery. If you hold volume down it should bring up the bootloader, from there use the volume and power buttons to select 'Recovery'.
Why Does My Phone Boot Straight To The Bootloader?
You either managed to wipe your boot partition (kernel) or sometimes this will happen when upgrading hboots. If you are S-ON you will need to flash a new boot image from fastboot.

Yup, it's all the same to it. The only thing it needs to work is for some sort of kernel to already be installed.

I used Flash Image GUI on my NS4G all of the time. The last 2 updates were to add this phone and the Nexus 7. It takes about 10 seconds to flash a kernel or recovery img. Its a JoeyKrim app...so you know its legit. It actually saved me last night when testing a N7 kernel overclocked over 1.99. . The kernel somehow made my N7 not boot to recovery no matter what I tried so I stuck a different kernel in that app, flashed it and once it booted I flashed the CWM 6.0.1.0 and I was completely fixed. Money well spent.
Edit..XhausX, I bought my first 2 HTCs ever about 2 weeks ago. They are both s on 1.13 but I need to either return on to full stock or use your rooted stock. I need to help my mother out. She's using a Samsung Moment! Ouch.... I am downloading that now. Is it a simple wipe and flash? If its more difficult, I will gladly shoot a donation your way if you can help me. I think I prefer her to be rooted stock so your odex version is the call...should have mentioned I know squat about the HTC methods. Regaw_Leinard got me where I am now

Since the kernel is only writeable from the rom this does something similar, except it does it after you flash the rom and it's automatic.
You could look at it as the rom itself installs it's own kernel. That's one of the reasons why it may look so convoluted, but for a rom/kernel dev to actually implement it is easy once you know how it works.

If you no longer need it rooted personally I would get s-off first and then run the latest RUU to restore it to stock. That way you'll always be able to re-root anytime without hassle, but the device can still be completely stock and used normally.

Is it possible to get a mirror of the Dev-Host file? The 'drivers are currently being updated', and I wanted to try adding this to my stock 2.13.651.1 ROM so as to avoid the inevitable questions from noobs that are S-ON about why the ROM won't boot .

Usually it's best to run it last so everything else is already in place. It will also check the recovery for the mount point, so that line won't be needed with it.
For your paranoid android rom you could use something like this: http://pastebin.com/rGVDKK2u
I'm not able to test it atm though so you'll probably want to verify it's good first.

Hey Everyone! So here's the quick nitty gritty...
Flashed Clean Rom Standard and Left S-On
Worked great for about 8 months
Started crashing like crazy and the only fix was to go back to stock
Went to stock and then unlocked, S is still On
Flashed ClockworkMod 6.0.2.3
Can't get any aftermarket S-On Roms to work
It can never see a PH98IMG.zip file via fastboot/bootloader
So I'm stuck and I don't know what to do
Anyway, that's where I'm at. Right now the phone is working just fine but stock roms suck and it's FULL of bloatware that I can't get rid of. So...any ideas on what I can do? I'd love to use Clean Rom once again but I can't get the PH98 file to flash
More Phone Info...
Ver - 4.0.3
Sense - 3.6
Software - 4.03.605.2 710RD
Kernel - 3.0.16-g480e1b0
Thanks in advance!

The newer roms are mostly made for S-OFF and do not create a ph98img file to flash with the boot.img you have to manually do it.
You should be able to flash by extracting the boot.img from the rom you want to flash, place it in your fast boot folder on your PC,
Open command prompt in that folder, and type fastboot flash boot boot.img
Hope this helps
Just saw your location

Haha Howdy!
Well, so I just tried using Nils ROM and it's supposed to be an all in one installer. I can see the installer saying everything is working but when it goes back to the boot loader screen it still isn't seeing the PH98 file...I'm not super familar with using fast boot on my PC as I'm still using older roms that always worked for me before when it came to flashing doing this method.
Sorry to be a pain in the a lol

I'll chime in, but would say that getting acquainted with how ADB works from the PC would be of great help to you. I don't like it either, which is why I s-offed. It does occur to me though that, at the very least, you are rooted, so Titanium Backup will help you freeze and/or uninstall bloat. I just had to RUU because I borked my internal storage and I am running stock, without all of Big Reds crap, and I'm actually enjoying it for a few days...
Good Luck from the mid west!

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I don't see a way around your problem if you're unwilling to learn how to do things with fastboot or adb or (possibly) both. They're easy to figure out for basic operations, so just do it! (Hey, you're flashing custom ROMs, ya gotta give a little too! )
Good luck,
john

There is one way to acquire temp "s-off" meaning you can flash ROMs in recovery and the boot image flash with it. It does do heavy work on your boot partition though. TWRP HTCdumlock there is instructions in flyhalf's TWRP thread to do this method
Sent from my Infected Rezound using xda app-developers app
Don't use CWM plain and simple. Switch over to TWRP. Only con, rebooting to bootloader manually. Also make sure you do a system/data/cache wipe prior to switching roms.
There is always the all in one tool that you can flash the kernel from but you still need to extract the boot img from the rom
I am super frustrated right now, because of the fact I rooted my phone a year after I got it and there aren't enough devs supporting this phone anymore.. :crying:
Anywhoo, I have Unlocked my BootLoader and I have set up my custom recovery with TWRP 2.5.0.0 since the latest doesn't work for my phone. I have Access with SuperSU going through the pain of updating the binary. Now, my latest problem and only problem that hinders me from using the Roms I desire is, I'm stuck at BootLoop. My phone shows the HTC logo and then reboots.
I super wiped, I did wipe before and after, I tried all methods of wiping, unless wiping isn't the same anymore from the OG EVO days.
The ROMS, I would like to install is Paranoid Android, BeanStalk, CM Nightlies 10.2, & SuperNEXUS.
I have Tested only BeanStalk and SuperNexus and they both do the same exact thing which brings me to bootloop. The great thing about it is, which is kind of strange but i'm very thankful is that, I can still Restore my phone with my back up! =D
So far I have used TWRP, I don't really feel comfy with using Clockwork. Due to previous experiences, It just doesn't give a clean wipe IMO.
YES, I have S-ON.
Do i really need S-OFF to run these Roms? My phone is updated with 3.17, and everything from the last update a week ago, I believe.
I just did everything within the last 24 hrs.
PLEASE HELP ME! =(
Since you are S-ON you need to fastboot flash the boot.img/kernel then the rom

Okay, one more question kind sir.
If this works for my phone and I end up running the Beanstalk or which ever ROM.
Do I need to Run another Boot.img to Restore my Rom from Backup?
Or Will it back up on its on, Because its the Stock rom?
Thank you, again.

It's always a good idea to have at least one backup on your sdcard.
No you won't need to flash the boot.img if you restore your backup.
You will only need to flash the boot.img everytime you flash a new rom for the first time

Fastboot flash the boot.img from bootloader or use FlashimageGUI from the playstore then boot into recovery and flash the rom

If you want to S-OFF, join the #moonshiners IRC channel. beaups has a test build he needs help to get working for the latest OTA. It would be helpful for everyone if someone could assist.

I know I'm going to have to do it myself. Just trying to avoid it. I already relocked once this week to test BabyRacun (which I also requested be updated, btw).
Onandroiding now in prep for full stock mode. I'm hoping someone steps up and I don't have to do it.
