[Q] Flashing a kernel - HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity

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

Custom Rom with s on

What is the process of to use a custom Rom when S is on
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk
With s-on you need to flash the boot.img (kernel) via fastboot and flash the rom via recovery. Here is a good thread to read

Most of the ROMs have directions for S-on and S-off.
So if you find one that interests you, just check the first or second post in its thread and it should set you straight, man.

The link ronnie498 is actually a good guide. But basically put, you need to unlock the bootloader, then flash a custom recovery. ROMs are then installed via the custom recovery. It's all in the guide though.

I made the mistake of flashing a custom rom to a friend's S-ON HTC Raider. The rom worked but Wifi wouldn't turn on. I'm going to start all over and do the kernel flash first, then immediately install the custom rom. Fingers crossed.

Thanks
After pushing the bcmdhd.ko to /system/lib/modules, do permissions have to be set (to 644) ?
And then after that is done, should i do a data/cache/dalvik wipe?

Need Help Bootlooping

Hey guys, so I was easily able to unlock the bootloader. However, the problems began when I flashed recovery. After that I have been getting only bootloops. Thus, I did a factory reset, which fixes it, however, once I restart or turn the phone off the bootloops start again. Which means I am constantly factory resetting my phone. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Out of curiosity, wouldn't that defeat the purpose of me unlocking the bootloader to begin with. Or am I thinking of it incorrectly?

I am able to get into recovery without it. But I can't get the app becasue i cant get into the app store.
thanks for all your help!! I think i may have got it. I reflashed recovery then rebooted the bootloader, then booted into recovery through the bootloader, then wiped everything. It seems to boot now and I am able to restart and shut down without a problem. Hopefully it sticks. Thanks again for taking the time I really appreciate it.

soft brick?

So like an idiot I completley wiped the phone and my recovery using TWRP. I can still access TWRP and the OEM HBOOT/FASTBOOT menu but I deleted the OS. I tried to restore using RUU but the program is not recognizing the phone. The computer does recognize the phone though. I'm just suck on the "F" boot logo. Any ideas?

okay I was able to get back and perform the most updated RUU. I was back to stock rom everything working okay. I tried to unlock the bootloader using the HTCDEV.com method which works as fastboot shows bootloader unlocked but it puts the phone into a boot loop. Any ideas to fix the boot loop after unlocking bootloader?

From recovery - Formatted all partitions (except SD-Card), Flashed ROM, rebooted to Fastboot, flashed boot.img.
And still getting green HTC on white background. Also tried to wait 5 minutes - nothing changed.
Maybe the problem is in HBOOT version? I've got Revolutionary 6.13.1002
