i Unlocked the bootloader form HTCDev.com according to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1337105 guide to the point but after unlocking the bootloader i installed RunnyDroid v5.1 it gave me force closes of almost every app and even the screen hung while locking or unlocking the mobile (the power button ) .,,,so i tried virtuos rom even that gave me the same thing...what could be the reason ..??? rom is not overclocked and i have HBoot 2.000 my incredible s is S-ON by the way
I think the kernel(boot.img) doesn't installed very well because S-on with unlocked devices must flash the boot.IMG via the computer manually.
Command here
"fastboot flash boot boot.IMG"

Which recovery you have installed?
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA
Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4
Try to install 4EXTrecovery. Revolutionary recovery is too old.

But can the recovery be an issue..???? can i directly flash 4ext recovery over CWM ..???
Maybe a filesystem problem. Now all roms are preformatted the devices with ext4 fiflesystem for a better performance. I think revolutionary recovery doesn't support ext4 so the FC problem is occurred.
Also Android Revolution HD will flash the latest recovery after install the Rom. This Rom is modified from the stock. So the Rom may boot successfully. For more details, take a look on its description and the changelog.

Yes the recovery can be an issue. CWM 4.01 is an older version. For ARHD you definitely need 4Ext recovery.
Or you can extract the zip file and flash the recovery manually.
Command here
"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

Just go on 4ext.net on your phone and download the updater. Then click install and it will over write your old recovery with the latest one

We can't flash recovery and boot images without s off. Download the image using goo and copy it to your pc and use fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Hi,
i Just tryed to root and install a recovery by using the toolkit.
I succeed to unlock the bootloader part but when I try to switch to the recovery after I flashed it the only result if rebooting the phone.
Edit :
I tryed the solution of the FAQ :
Q11: I have a custom recovery installed but I can't boot into it.
Use the command - fastboot erase cache.
You should now be able to boot into recovery.
still don't work
Can anyone help me?
Thanks

Is there any way to restore a nandroid backup through fastboot or adb? i.e. without installing CWM
You can boot to cwm without installing it. But I can't remember the steps offhand
Interesting, bro! One of my fri also need to flash a zip without root or cwm recovery. In fact these 2 things r the reason for requiring the mentioned method in this post. He is using galaxy r n stuck in android 4.0.4.
Bump, anyone?
I tried to boot twrp through adb and it just reboot the phone..you just need to make a stock nandroid and download recovery.img for your version

With an unlocked bootloader you can in fastboot mode issue :
fastboot boot name_of_recovery.img
Without flashing it. Works nicely.

If you're using XZ dual recovery, then it's because on 5.1 the paths are changed so the recovery won't mount system partition >> unmounted system = nothing can be flashed. A user fixed the issue, it's posted on the last pages of XZDR thread. "nut" will make it official anytime now. Install the fix via PC and flash away.
Can you please send me the link? I cant find it. Any solution as well witout PC? And flash in fastboot or flashboot?
