an .rar is a compressed file. unrar the file to get the .img

Do u lose clockwork recovery when u reboot? That's the problem I'm having updating to 2.3.1

breaks wifi for me

How do I flash the img? Do I use adb and if so what's the adb commands?
After I flash this, i just go into rom manager and download/install the update and that's it?
Will i lose root by flashing this?

test_boot.img should be in the folder, c:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\
since that is where you are running flashboot from

looks like installing a rooted img breaks wifi. i did the superboot/paulobrian method then installed the voodoo ext 4 kernel, then wifi was broken.
i reflashed my boot.img and re-updated via recovery and i have wifi back.

Since you have CWM installed, you must have unlocked your bootloader, so all you need to do is flash the boot.img file from the CM10.1 zip file in fastboot usb mode and you should be good to go.

Its not a stupid mistake at all. Please refrain from calling it stupid either because that was not the mistake. The mistake was that you didnt flash the boot.img. Just extract the boot.img fro the CM10.1 and put it with your platform-tools in your SDK folder. Then, in command prompt, navigate to the SDK folder. Reboot your phone into fastboot.
Type: fastboot devices <---------- to make sure your phone is detected
then: fastboot flash boot boot.img <---- assuming you did not change the boot image name, in which was just replace the second boot with watever you changed it to. DO NOT FORGET THE .img AT THE END

dude.... u have CWM, u have bootloader unlocked. Place your boot.img file from the CM10.1 in the platforms-tools folder in your sdk folder (which you MUST have downloaded when u unlocked your bootloader). Navigate to the platform-tools folder in cmd and then type the lines of code.

At OP, the thing i said to do does not even require S-OFF. With S-OFF you can just flash the ROM and your good.

It seems I'm running into the same problem. I went through the steps here but I still can't get the phone to boot. I did S-OFF and I have CWM running as well on the phone it just wont boot any ROM... It just kinda loads endlessly

It's in the Rom zip, assuming your not s-off it must be flashed separately
You can check if your s-off by going to hboot, toward the top it will say s-off or s-on...which basically means security off/on - its another level of security HTC added on above the bootloader
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2

It says s-on
so what do i do from here?

Put your boot.img into the folder which your fastboot and adb are and then open a terminal to the folder. Then put your phone into fastboot by entering the bootloader. Then type fastboot devices to see if your device is connected to the computer. If it comes up with your serial number continue if not try again. Then type fastboot flash boot.img and then go to recovery and reflash the rom.

No no... bad advice... ODIN is for Samsung...

Download either TWRP or WCX recovery. As long as your phone can get to the bootloader, you can get into Fastboot and flash the recovery again. Make sure the recovery is in the same folder where you have the adb.exe and fastboot.exe. Open up a command prompt, then change directory to where your fastboot and adb are. Type in fastboot flash recovery "recovery".img where "recovery" would be the name of the recovery file you download. This will flash pretty quickly. Once you get to that point, you probably are S-On so you need to make sure to extract the boot.img from the ROM you downloaded. Use either winrar or 7zip to extract the boot.img to the same location where you have the fastboot.exe and adb.exe. Then go to the command prompt again and change directories to the same folder where you have fastboot and adb. Type in fastboot flash boot boot.img. I usually would run this 3 times to make sure it loads properly. Once that is done reboot the phone again.

Sorry I used it on the HTC evolution 4g and it worked so I figured it would work for vivid

[Q] Bricked after OTA Update?

Hello folks!
I was running a "google play edition" rom on my phone (rooted/ superuser). Today it said there was an ota update for kit-kat available. I let it go through with the install. For some reason the install failed (I think it was a 'status 7').The phone wouldn't boot (instead of a loading boot animation just blue screen) Then when I went to try to reflash my old rom (I was stupid and didn't have a backup), I got a status 7 error again, and I've gotten one for every rom I've tried to flash (HTC One nexus edition and another one, can't remember the name).
Anyway, I can push and pull files via adb but nothing will install. I've tried sideloading too but that failed also.
I have CWM 6.0.2.8.
Any help would be lovely.

Do you have the recovery in the same folder that fastboot is in?
Is the phone in fastboot USB mode while connected to the computer?
Try renaming it to "recovery" without the quotation marks. Then just use "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" without the quotations.

Your bootloader must be unlocked to use this. If your bootloader is not already unlocked, unlocking it will wipe your data and this method is not recommended.
This is a modified factory image that will not erase your user data or custom recovery. This can be used even if you’re rooted and with modified system files, xposed framework, or custom recovery. Once installed you will lose root, just flash supersu in your custom recovery. Xposed should still be on your device so just go into the app and re-install it. For any modified system files, you will have to re-modify those.
This is intended for those on the stock rom, rooted, and with a custom recovery. It’ll work if you have a custom rom but will put the stock system on.
I am not responsible for anything you do to your device so flash at your own risk. Always backup before doing any significant changes to your device. I would recommend off your device in case something happens
.
To use, download the modified factory image here https://mega.co.nz/#!AAATiKpI!PJbBgroM6PB7tTAs_TanCOrlzAeqBq0PEupNyvU72pEl Use 7-zip or winrar to extract the files.
Supersu by chainfire can be found here, CWM / TWRP / MobileODIN installable ZIP: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
Boot into the bootloader. From a cmd window opened where the flash-all file is just type flash-all. You can use shift, right click on the occam-ktu85l-Modified folder to open a command window in the correct folder. ADB/FASTBOOT must be intalled on your PC.
You can also just double click on the flash-all.bat
This is tested on a windows machine; however it should work on a Mac too, flash the flash-all.sh.
