hey there everyone
i have s-off,bootloader unlocked, updated to hboot 1.85.2525, root enabled, usb debugging, wcx revocery
im coming from stock rogers rom. sick of waiting for ics.
but whenever i install a custom rom i get boot loops. did i miss a part? i've tried 3 or 4 of the main custom roms. all the same, stuck at boot loop or hangs there. i've done everything right from the bootloader unlocked to s-off(wire trick) then updating hboot, flashing a recovery (wcx), installing superuser
do i have to install an att or bell gingerbread ruu then update from ota? then install a custom rom? shouldn't just installing the custom rom work?
coming from a nexus one.. so much more stuff to do just for a custom rom....
I was having the same issue with my friend's Rogers HTC Raider. (When he was running the stock Gingerbread)
Last night, we put everything back to normal (Bootloader re-locked, etc.) and installed the stock Bell ICS. ( RUU_HOLIDAY_ICS_35_S_BM_3.38.666.2_Radio_3.04.4740.11_34.29.701040.22_release_255916_signed )
Then did the usual procedure of unlocking bootloader, installing clockworkmod recovery, and installing a rom. The rom we did was Desensed 1.1. It booted fine and is pretty feast. Wifi isn't working on it (I think mainly because his phone is S-ON and that causes kernel issues when flashing).
I hope this helps.
S-on or s-off does not effect WiFi working or not, they are 2 different things.
If you are s-on flash boot.IMG thru fastboot, flash Rom thru recovery. Sometimes u have to reflash boot.img

No, he was right. With S-On, when you fastboot flash, modules are not usually included. Thus, when he just flashed the zip, the kernel wasn't flashed, and the ROM's modules most likely don't match.

--sorry for the noob issue ...
i've unlocked, rooted and s-off my Raider, but can't get kernels to flash. It's an otherwise stock phone running stock ICS and kernel. Thing just boots back into the stock kernel.
So i unzipped the KangBang kernel updater and rewrote the scripts to write all their intermediary files to the sdcard, put it back together, ran it in recovery, and discovered that the utils in the update zip that unpack and insert the zImage into boot.img don't seem to run, or at anyrate output nothing.
dd outputs a 16M boot.img, but that's it. unpackbootimg and mkbootimg produce nothing.
the mkbootimg.sh script does produce a createnewboot.sh file.
Could anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong and how to fix it? --Thanks.

-- i did also rewrite mkbootimg.sh to produce a createnewboot.sh that'd operate on and output to files on the sdcard where i'd gotten the updater-script to put the boot.img.
neither mkbootimg nor unpackbootimg would run in a terminal shell on the phone when it's been normally booted; dunno if that's default behavior.

You can use the flash image GUI tool from the market just extract the kernel on the sdcard use the the tool to flash the image.

I just realized your s-off did you try a different rom

Sounds like you don't have busybox properly installed.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Thank you for your good suggestions guys.
Nothing works so far, including installing busybox 1.20.1 in both /system/bin and
/system/xbin.
so far i'm only trying to put in one of the kernels from these xda forums. Thot that'd be easiest. ...Little did i know...
Have tried all the major recovery mods.
Currently have TWRP 2.1.10 installed.
No joy so far.

i dunno. It still looks like the utils zipped into the kernel updater zips, aren't doing their thing. They're statically compiled binaries looks like, shouldn't depend on libs or busybox.
What do i know.
... not nearly enuf, obv.

I have the same exact issue. This happened to me after using the De-Sensed rom. Then I had boot loop with one of the kernels so I fastbooted relocked my device, RUUed back to factory.
Still S-Off in HBOOT and security flag is 0.
So I unlocked my device again, flashed CWM, rooted, flash stock rooted ROM. Tried flashing fauxes 007 kernel but it wouldn't flash. The script executed in CMW without error, but still stock kernel it did kill my wifi and I had to manually copy over the stock system\lib\modules\bcmdhd.ko file to get wifi back.
So I manually tried flashing the zimage using fastboot flash zimage zimage. I get some failed error from fast boot basically permission denied jargon.
I am at a loss, only thing I can think to do is to relock, RUU back to stock, S-ON.
Start over from scratch unlock, root, S-OFF steps.

If you are s-off, does your hboot say locked, unlocked, or japunabear? If it says locked then you still have to unlock it using through HTC dev and you'll be set.

I had the same issue after an ruu with s-off i just fast boot flashed an older kozmick kernel that was in boot img form and then went about flashing the kernel of my choice with cwm which was the newest kozmick

Hi,
i have a Velocity with HTC Sense 3.5 and Android Gingerbread (Germany/Vodafone) and HBoot 1.85 and S-ON.
I have unlocked the bootloader and use Clockwork for installing Custom ROM, but every attempt to do that is failing.
I work exactly like the ROM instructions.
I start the recovery, wipe system, data, chace, dalvic and then (only if ROM instruction request first install the kernel via (Fastboot flash boot boot.IMG)) and then /or at first install the ROM via the recovery. The installation completed successfully. Then i copy the created boot.img on my sdcard via fastboot (Fastboot flash boot boot.IMG). It works so far.
When i restart the phone the logo of the custom rom appears, then i get into a bootloop. That happens with every rom, doenst matter if ICS or JB, nothing works.
What is the problem here.
I'll mention that the adb doesnt work on my PC it always says "no device" but fastboot work.
Fastboot flash boot boot.IMG
Your only using the kernel to boot... not writing it to boot sector
Sent from my Vivid 4G using Tapatalk 2
sry, yeah i did it with "Fastboot flash boot boot.IMG"
anything else that could produce my error?
Well you need to either do the ota or use the ICS ruu to upgrade to ICS that's why nothing will boot
Sent from my Vivid 4G using Tapatalk 2
What is ota?
I dont understand why i have to upgrade via ruu. For example this ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585373) there is a instruction how to do with fastboot. But doesnt work. There must be an explanation for that.
But ok, even i want do it via an ICS ruu, can i use my created recovery of gingerbread via clockwork recovery or does it stuck then, too?
Once you do the ruu to ics... your recovery backup will be useless
Sent from my Vivid 4G using Tapatalk 2
Use the old version of go backup. Not the pro. You can find it on 4shared. Then run ruu

AW: No ROM will work

I give you a tip i have flashed 3 HTC Velocitys in last year but the stablelst, fastest and pefect rom is the new Cyanogenmog 10 nighty from hr8rift, another developer end his work in the middle of end and then you lives with many bugs and bricked the ram for a long time.....
Vodafone is a **** provider he hasnt rollout the 4.0.3 on their phones, many Peoples are angry.
And the Quality from flash is better in HTC as Samsung Galaxy devices
Cyanogenmod 10 is in nightly and works very good its .4.1.2.
I think the final comes in few monts or weeks

Hi friends,here is the state
My friend bought a HTC Incredible S - made in Taiwan. It came with Stock 2.3.3. Then he upgrade OTA to ICS.
When getting boring,when ask me how to install a custom Rom. I unlocked bootloader,install 4EXT Touch Recovery for him,then make a backup of stock ICS. Then guide him how to flash custom Rom,restore to Stock Rom with recovery and flash boot.img.
Everything was fine,he can flash custom Rom and restore the stock backup without any prob...till yesterday,after flash the lasted Vipper Vivo,he couldn't restore to stock Rom anymore,the phone got a boot loop into recovery. Even flash boot.img in fastboot,his vivo still stuck in HTC logo then reboot into recovery.
I tried many methods,flash some custom stock base Rom,insanter's Rom and mike1986 ARHD (awesome Rom ) then restore the stock backup but there is no change...no way out
So i downgraded his vivo to 2.3.3 using the RUU downgrade.exe. Now his vivo is GB 2.3.3,but when i check for system update,attemp to upgrade to ICS via OTA,it said that the phone was up to date :banghead:
I'm end with any ideas now,please help bro...

Hi there,
I've used for a while with AT&T ROM without any problem.
Successfully rooted and CWM installed.
I tried to flash my phone by this ROM using CWM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2171741
However I failed. My phone didn't work with it.
Now, I cannot go into my CWM anymore. Although I reinstalled it.
I still can access to Bootloader. Select Recovery but it showed some scripts then it couldn't go further.
Anyone can tell me how to fix it?
I am frightened now since my phone is nothing more than garbage now I cannot do anything with my phone
Thank you so much
You're gonna have to relock your bootloader and run the RUU then unlock your bootloader to flash your recovery again, then you'll be able to run your recovery again. Also if you're S-ON, you have to extract the boot.img from the rom you installed and flash it before you install the rom, otherwise the phone won't boot.
Download another recovery to your computer...
Go into hboot... go to fastboot... connect via USB
Fastboot flash recovery (recovery name)
Reboot bootloader... choose recovery

Hello,
I did the way you said and it worked!!
Thank you very much.
Note: I think the ROM I flashed had some kind of weird code that led to the problem.
I used AT&T edition for my Bell Canada phone. RUU said failed during the process, however, that's when I reinstalled my CWM and it works again!
Thank you everyone for helping me with this question!
Get away from CWM...
Switch to TWRP or WCX

Ur welcome and like do what ringfool said CWM doesn't play well with this device. I personally use WCX but switch recovery cuz most of the time roms flash with errors is because of the recovery.

Yes! CWM really works badly on HTC Holiday.
WCX really rocks! It shows everything precisely and large enough to look haha.
Most of ROMs can be flashed using WCX. CWM cannot open some
TWRP for the win...Is that redundant? Flashed it last night, works flawlessly with the cm10 rom
Someone needs too post a really big sign somewhere in these forums that says DO NOT USE CWM I have seen at least 5 guys in the last month getting screwed because of it. :sad:

That is because you have an unlocked bootloader. A stock ROM that you got via running an RUU won't boot up because of the unlocked bootloader. (that or you didn't flash boot.img) I would suggest running Android Revolution HD or tpbklake's stock ROM. Both can be found in the development section for the Incredible S.
Thanks or can i download one from hdev and install will it work ?

If you download the RUU from HTCDEV.com, you will need to relock your bootloader before you run the RUU.
