when you download a rom unzip it the boot.img is included sometimes it is in a folder you should be able to find it pretty easy also known as kernel but it is more than that

its in a folder inside the rom .zip file. you have to extract it and flash it via flashboot.

Just to confirm the command to flash a boot.IMG is fastboot flash boot.img?

Use holics
Holics is a great rom to use i have been using it since i got my vivid a month ago, its made by bananacakes, and he makes a great rom with updates it often! But it is easier to use roms with s-off, and thats not too hard to do either.

FOR HTC Vivid !!!!!!!

Hey why u want to be with S ON.
Go through my thread in the below link and will give you better idea and why S OFF is necessary!!!!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1676977
Let me know if it helped you!!!

I don't think any of the ROMs are S-on compatible.
and I don't think any of them have any kind of guides, FAQs, or any useful information, ESPECIALLY NOT USUALLY IN THE FIRST FEW POSTS OF THE BUILD THREADS...
That is of course other than the download links and screenshots I'm pretty sure.

WCX Roms are s-on compatible, support is very good

The only thing is that if you want the kozmik kernel, you cant because he doesnt support son anymore

Its not about supporting s-on lol, you can flash w/e rom you want even if your s-on, the only thing is it WONT flash the boot.img(zimage+initramfs), so you would only need to extract the boot.img from w/e rom you want and then flash it on fastboot, people need to understand that s-off isnt need for flashing roms or kernels or w/e mod, s-off just give the recovery the ability to backup/flash boot/recovery partiitons and you can use very low lvl fastboot commands, stop confusing your self over s-on/s-off guys lol, its not quantum physics ;P

[Q] Flashing a kernel

A few questions regarding flashing a kernel.
1. Can i brick my phone when flashing a new kernel?
2. To flash a new kernel, all i have to do is fast boot right? Not wipe my whole phone like i do when i need to flash a rom?

1. Possibly... Read read read... And make sure you have a good charge on your battery... And make sure the kernel is for your phone
2. You should almost always wipe dalvik-cache and cache when flashing anything

[Q] How to S-OFF then Sim-Unlock?

Code:
I have a basics down of flashing roms. My bootloader is unlocked. I have the TWRP recovery.
But I want to S-OFF because it's easiar to flash roms and since I'm going out of the country I need to Sim - Unlock.
I haven't found any clear instuctions on how to S-Off. I'm going to use [URL="http://unlimited.io/juopunutbear.htm"]Juopunutbears tool.[/URL]
I have ubuntu 12.04 32 bit installed. But I'm not entirelly sure what a stock RUU? Is it just a stock 4.0.1 rom? Is there a step by step video on how to S-off and sim-unlock?
Thanks!
DID IT!

59 views and no one said anything? Lol. Just find the S-Off thread in the development section and follow the instructions from the site you are directed to. You will need to revert back to stock using the RUU(.exe). I used Windows for that. It's all on the site

If youre reverting to stock via RUU, relock your bootloader. Run the RUU while connected in fastboot. Use the S-Off all in one located in I think its dev section, no ubuntu necessary, works in windows & has instructions. Super easy

being that we only have one s-off method, hassoon's toolkit was using this method for s-off. It does suck that the toolkit is gone, but everything it did is completely doable without..

[Q] Elegancia 2.5 issues.

In a quest for a customizable ROM that was built upon ICS, I came across Elegancia's Pegasus, and I thought I would give it a try. To my horror, the ROM was incredibly UGLY (no offense) and I decided to reboot into recovery. As I did, the recovery page launched for about a split second before hitting the white HTC Screen of Death. So, I rebooted it, and now I'm stuck in an Elegancia bootloop that won't end.
And so my predicament: I can't recover, nor can I boot. What to do from here? Through the piece of garbage away?

nvm this

Schoutse said:
You can still boot into bootloader right?
You need to relock bootloader and run an RUU.
To do so boot into bootloader (volume down + power button), then choose fastboot and connect it with the cable to your computer.
On your computer run the fastboot.exe and type the command "fastboot oem lock" without the quotations.
Then find an RUU here:
Holiday RUU's
and choose one of your carrier.
Run the .exe and when its finished you have the stock rom again.
If you want to get a custom rom do all the steps for flashing roms again and unlock bootloader again.
I think this is how it works.
Edit: you will lose your data..

No need to do all that... Fastboot erase cache will fix the issue. Then re-flash your recovery and you are set.

with what problem do you have to use the ruu again? i thought that was needed for bootloop :s lol

But with that little info... and as volatile as this forum could be... quick answers keep people happy...
And the erase cache fix is newer than that post as well

I had no idea what I was doing, relocked my phone, and it fixed itself. :/

How do I flash completely back to stock?

Although I enjoy most of what the HTC First has to offer, I think I would like to return it. So, I was wondering if anyone could instruct me on how to flash back to stock and if there was a way, remove the "Tampered" message in the bootloader?

I believe the All-In-One Toolkit in the Dev section has an option to relock the booloader.

No. I've tried Moonshine S-Off 4 times and I can't get it to work. I followed the directions so I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing wrong.

Is there any way you could help me understand why Moonshine isn't working for me? I'm on 1.08, unlocked bootloader, rooted, and I have CWM (not sure if the custom recovery matters). I plug it in with the OEM Cable and USB Debugging on as instructed. However, when I run Moonshine, it goes as far as Test 3 and then it starts running through several rows of dots.
Edit: Scratch that. I figured out that all I needed to do was turn off my Firewall. So, now that I have S-Off, how do I go about flashing it back to the Stock ROM/Recovery?

As a followup to this, does anyone have a copy of the stock recovery? It looks like the OTA updates don't work with CWM.

Since you have s-off I don't know why you want a stock ROM/recovery. Either the v1.08 or v1.04 zips will install with CWM (not TRWP last I tried). http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=Myst

about kernel
Hey guys im new to the forum, i got this phone from ebay, its just what i need, btw i like dev so maybe thats why i picked a htc, well the thing is i installed jmz's kernel amazing stuff but i wanted to go back to stock kernel to try differents roms, im s-off with ub and using cwm, i tried to compile the kernel source (i use ubuntu 13.04) with no luck at all, it looks like its about the toolchains, but well is there a kernel that i can just install it with cwm as a zip?
