Your best bet is to boot into recovery mode from fastboot usb mode using the following command:
fastboot boot recovery.img
Using this method, the boot partition should be unlocked in recovery and you can flash the kernel.
To be honest I don't think you can unless the kernel is in .img format or you are s-off.

Good call. Thanks for that reminder! HBOOT 2.00.0000 has a new /LIB partition that comes into play and will prevent the custom kernel from flashing properly, thus the wifi error will occur.

Flash the boot.img via fastboot then you need to copy / push the corresponding bcm4329.ko file for the kernel into /system/lib/modules/ i just do it via a file manager with superuser. Job done!
Or there is a ICSQuattroDrivers.zip file containing the wifi driver that you flash via recovery. Not sure where I found it as I'm using the latest Tiamat now, it's rather nice.

You need either HTC Dev unlock
or revolutionary s off to flash a custom ROM

If you're unlocked through htc dev, just flash custom recovery (4ext touch recommended) and you can flash custom roms after that.
Just make sure to flash boot.img through adb as said by mark. Always do this after flashing new rom when you are s-on.

Every time you flash a new ROM or kernel you need to open up the zip of the new ROM and fast boot flash it, otherwise it probably wont boot unless there is a similar kernel already

If you use the app to install recovery, make sure to extract the recovery.img file in the downloaded zip and manually flash that through fastboot. Only have to do this while s-on

How did you root your phone? If you're just HTC unlocked you need to flash boot.img via fastboot.

He is probably s-on cause all he does is unlock via htcdev. Boot.img is in .zip of the rom you tried to install.
Hello All,
Let me give you full history. I was on stock ICS. I unlocked bootloader from htcdev and installed cwm recovery. Then I flashed Nik JB Evolution rom. I worked like charm. Then I thought of flashing another sense rom, so I flashed that rom but it didn't boot. Then I flashed the boot.img file but still that didn't helped. I read through the contents of that rom thread and it said that my phone should be S-Off. So I S-Offed my phone by revolutionary and installed 4ext recovery. But even now after flashing any other rom, the phone doesn't boot up. All I can do is to restore te Nik JB rom and run it. I even tried flashing CM7 and this updating my hboot by blackrose installer, but that too didn't help.
Any help solving this problem will be highly highly appreciated.

Do one thing ...if the problem still persist ... download the official ICS rom and relock ur bootloader ! and den flash it ...u ll be again in stock ICS ..after then again ... unlock it ... flash the rom or ur choice , flash boot.img ! and den u r ready to go !!
just a suggestion for u ... dont flash any rom blindly , first go thru the post and den think that is it worth flashing or not !!
i personally prefer not to unlock bootloader by blockrose .. unlocking the bootloader by HTC dev is much more safer than any other method !! the plus point is u can revert back to STOCK rom any time if some thing goes wrong !! but in blockrose and other methods , chances of bricking ur fone is much higher !! thats my opinion !!
Thanks for the reply. I made the backup of my official stock ROM. When i restored it, even that's not booting up.
How can i proceed?

Hi, I'm a new user.
I just unlocked my bootloader, and I was looking to put a custom Rom on my device .
But wherever I look , I can't find a custom recovery.
Can you introduce some custom recoveries to me.
Oh and I don't know how to put a custom recovery on my phone too,so I need some help with this too. =))
Ps: I don't want to root my phone.

To flash one of them, rename the IMG file to recovery, place it into your fastboot folder, boot into bootloader(fastboot mode) open command prompt navigate to your directory
Command to flash is "fastboot flash recovery recovery.IMG"

The preliminary steps are to unlock bootloader (which I assume he has done that or if he is on HBOOT 1.13.0000, then use Revolutionary to S-OFF and then flash custom recovery and root), flash ClockworkMod recovery, then flash a superuser.zip to obtain root.
There's a guide made by myself in my signature so check it out. If you still need help, post back.
