One question so when flashing a boot.img I pull it from Rom and fastboot flash. My question is when I do recover flash after do I leave boot image in original zipped Rom folder and recovery flash, or is it not supposed to be in it at all, being I already flashed boot.img via fastboot?

Just keep it in the zip
So everyone I have done goes through but lockscreen has no touch functions. I can't get past it any suggestions?

Are you s-off?
What rom are you using?
Are you doing a clean install?

You are probably on the latest firmware and flashed a 3.15 rom, my guess, you need then to flash a 3.16 sense rom, aosp and 3. 15 roms touch screen doesn't work with the newest firmware, if you are s-off you can downgrade it, if you are s-on I suggest you to go to the original development thread and get s-off using baby racoon if your hboot is 2.09... Good luck

You can flash roms using a computer with no issues lol using fastboot boot recovery.img in hboot with ADB.. You have to put a copy of your recovery.img in your adb folder for this method to work not hard at all.
You can use flash GUI to flash kernels and flash the rom in recovery .... You may wanna read up on the guy that made the app he has instructions...
I have used the app in the past not a bad thing to have... Tho I prefer using the computer always a one stop shop for me

Yeah but i travel a lot and don't have time to use my laptop, thanks anyways! Didn't know that!

Just download from the market the Flash GUI app and you can flash any boot.img (kernel) first and then flash the ROM and you should be all set.
Yes, if you travel alot then Flash Image GUI would be for you.
the pg86100 is the htc evo 3d if i am not mistaken and i have one and have hboot 1.5 also, i see you have boot manager listed as one of your apps. you can use this app as well with hboot 1.5 and still flash your heart away just make sure you unlock the bootloader via HTC's method and have root access and youll be good to go
Thanks guys, another question, whats the best recovery for hboot 1.5?
thats is all what you like to use... i personally use the clockworkmod recovery version 4.0.1.4

I found this video tutorial online of a guy rooting hboot 1.50 and at the end he flashes a Rom I believe Synergy 3.0 without using fastboot from the computer. He went into recovery and just flashed like normal. He said S-on doesn't mean anything. Unless you're flashing a kernel. Is he right?

Yeah, or you could use flash image GUI to flash kernels

i know with my evo 3d you can flash and rom from the recovery ... you just save the rom in its zip format to your sdcard and when in recovery mode that i use i just select " install zip from sdcard" and guide it to said rom then once selected it will begin an install process... now keep in mind that if your info is not backed up you will lose it... and you can still use the kernel that comes with the rom to flash it is just the same... it should be in the boot.img area of the rom you saved

Alright so I can flash from recovery a Rom that has a kernel already baked into it. But if i want to flash only a kernel, I have to use the computer or the other app?

Okay because I only flash Roms, not kernels so i don't need the flash gui app. Hopefully other people chime in and confirm our thinking.

It's essentially a snapshot of your current phone. In case that new kernel or rom put you in a bootloop or you wanna revert back.

you definitely do not need that app if youre flashing roms only...just keep a back up in case the rom is no good then you have the original to go back to

Well I'm officially done trying to get S-OFF I ave tried everything, I am just wondering if there is a ROM I want to use and there is no boot image OR (PH98IMG) because its for S-OFF only, Is there a way I can creat one for the rom or does it have to be done by the dev that created the ROM.

It will be in the ROM zip. Just extract it on your comp and then flash it. S-off roms all have a boot.img, but you only need to push it (or flash the ph) if you're s-on.

Nils has an aroma installer that will give you the option of flashing the kernel by recovery or bootloader. Or like wasabi said you can extract the boot.img from the rom and flash it via fastboot.

Please don't flame me for asking, but i couldn't find instructions anywhere. I know if your s-on and want to flash aosp roms you need to flash the boot img via fast boot. I just cant seem to do it right and end up in the splash screen indefinitely. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
This thread helped me resolve the same issue.

Do you flash the rom first and then the fastboot boot.img, or the other way around?

I flashed the boot.img after I installed the rom. I'm not sure if that was the correct way, but it worked for me.
A very simple solution is to download Flash Image GUI, and use it to flash the kernel of the Rom while your phone is still booted and functional. You can do this by opening the app and locating the Rom file, then hit yes to install it to the partition. After extracted, boot into recovery, do your wipes, and flash the AOSP rom. This saves the need for a computer.
Another thing to try is to boot into recovery, flash the rom, let it boot to the boot animation, hard reboot into recovery, and reflash. (This works with Sense roms, but I haven't tried it with AOSP roms yet)
P.S.: I am S-On also
When I was s-on I would flash the rom then boot straight to bootloader, fastboot. USB and flash the boot img. This method always worked for me

Thanks for the help. I found that flashing the boot.IMG first then the ROM works good for me. But I will try the GUI app
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
The GUI application works as advertised but it's handy to be used to using fastboot also. Never know when your gonna need it

I flashed stock with goodies and now for some reason cant flash back to CM10 or jelly bam. I get to the boot animation and thats it. I have also tried restoring backups and nothing. It just stays on the boot animation forever. I tried wiping the rom and everything. I have twrp 2.3.3.0.
You are probably s-on, you have to flash the boot.img separately. Also, try a factory reset after you install the rom.

Yes I am s-on. I'm sorry I don't know what you mean by flash the boot.
If you are s-on, you have to flash the kernel separately from the rom. One of the hassles of being s-on. You have to install it with fastboot commands or using a program called flashgui. Look for instructions on how to flash a kernel in the stickies in the development section.

Hey man thanks so much, Flashgui worked great. you da man.
I have serious problem in flashing these 3 ROMs. I have done everything right but I am still stuck in bootanimation... I have JB hboot but that is no problem because I correctly changed parameters in updater-script but without success. And tried to flash boot.img several ways:
- manually via command: fastboot flash boot boot.img
- via Desire X All in one Kit
- via Boot IMG Installer
but nothing helped me, still stucked at bootanimation...
Is there any general way how to fix that for all of these AOSP ROMs? If not I would like to successfully flash at least CM 9. Does anybody think that the main problem might be in JB hboot? Please help me...

See post 5 in Shadow ROM, did you do like that?

Yep, updater-script is modified for my JB hboot as by ShadowCodeGaming guide... and now there is no problem in flashing! I do not understand! I did it several times and now it works! But I have different question and I do not want to make a different thread for that, maybe it is a silly question... As I have JB hboot now I have problems with backing up any of the ROM... Can it be because I use TWRP recovery made for ICS with my JB hboot? Can it be unstable???

Yes. You have to use JB recovery to backup and later restore.
what happened is something like this:
ICS hboot
1.boot
2.system
3.data
4.cache
5.emmc
JB hboot
1.boot
2.data
3.cache
4.system
5.emmc
So the positions of system, data, cache are changed. The ICS recovery will see the second partition as system when infact it is data.
IF, and i say IF, u backup using ICS recovery, and restore also using it, it will blindly restore the contents from where it read it so it will work. so technically, you can back up using TWRP, but later, restore also using same TWRP.
I hope you got my point.

The first time you tried it you had stock boot.img? Which recovery are you using?
No, I tested it with the boot.IMG from the zip file and with nexus kernel v3. I use team win recovery.

You have to flash boot.img inside zip and use JB recovery if you have JB hboot
