It's in the Rom zip, assuming your not s-off it must be flashed separately
You can check if your s-off by going to hboot, toward the top it will say s-off or s-on...which basically means security off/on - its another level of security HTC added on above the bootloader
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2
It says s-on
so what do i do from here?
Put your boot.img into the folder which your fastboot and adb are and then open a terminal to the folder. Then put your phone into fastboot by entering the bootloader. Then type fastboot devices to see if your device is connected to the computer. If it comes up with your serial number continue if not try again. Then type fastboot flash boot.img and then go to recovery and reflash the rom.

No no... bad advice... ODIN is for Samsung...

Download either TWRP or WCX recovery. As long as your phone can get to the bootloader, you can get into Fastboot and flash the recovery again. Make sure the recovery is in the same folder where you have the adb.exe and fastboot.exe. Open up a command prompt, then change directory to where your fastboot and adb are. Type in fastboot flash recovery "recovery".img where "recovery" would be the name of the recovery file you download. This will flash pretty quickly. Once you get to that point, you probably are S-On so you need to make sure to extract the boot.img from the ROM you downloaded. Use either winrar or 7zip to extract the boot.img to the same location where you have the fastboot.exe and adb.exe. Then go to the command prompt again and change directories to the same folder where you have fastboot and adb. Type in fastboot flash boot boot.img. I usually would run this 3 times to make sure it loads properly. Once that is done reboot the phone again.
Sorry I used it on the HTC evolution 4g and it worked so I figured it would work for vivid

So I just got this HTC Vivid and some how I managed to put it in a bootload loop. I've flashed many ROMs in the past without any problems at all, but failed to do so on this one. The ROM I tried flashing was "[ROM] Dark Raider 1.0 [4.0.3][Aroma Installer][4-13-2012]" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1586613) Everytime I turn the phone on it would just keep rebooting over and over, I tried reflashing a different ROM and now every time I turn on my phone it automatically goes into fastboot. I've tried looking around but I haven't found a solution to this problem. Anyone help?

I think Dark Raider is not for the Holiday or Vivid. Not sure. I do believe its developed by pirateghost, and he could be your "savior". Go to goo.im (Goo inside me). http://goo.im/devs/pirateghost/vivid and look in the rum_float folder and download beta4 NOT BETA.5. Then flash with that and you should be good. Flashing instructions can be found in the Vivid Super Guide thread..
You can also try the rooted OTA ICS firmware in the root of pg's directory to get back to a base ICS working ROM. I know that both of those work as I've been where you are now 3 times in the last 5 days due to playing with my phone and flashing ROMS. I tried pg's beta 5 last night and soft-bricked my Vivid twice, then recovered it it with Beta 4 and didn't loose a thing. For some reason I thought flashing the ROM (zip) over system was a good idea! D'0H!!!!
All you have to do is use the third method in the flashing ROMs section close to the bottom of post 1 from the Super Guide link above. Just copy the boot.img out of the zip and flash.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
Don't forget to flash the kernel too. I am using faux123s beta 4 kernel for now. works great for a beta!
If you need more help ask and I will do my best to get you back up and running!

That was the first thing I did... I grabbed the boot.img from the zip and flashed it with adb.
Dark Raider is almost specifically for the Vivid as it was built from an AT&T Vivid base. You don't flash the boot.img through ADB, you flash through fastboot.

It sounds like you need to flash your boot.img twice and you do that using fastboot. Im not understanding why istatik is telling you to relock. Maybe to return to stock? But you should flash the boot.img thats either in the OP or in the rom zip file itself through fastboot as

This is exactly what I'm doing: I grab the boot.img from the zip file and place it in the same directory on my PC with my fastboot/ADB. I put my phone in fastboot and plug it into my PC. I then open up a command prompt and change the directory to my folder with fastboot/ADB. I then type the command: fastboot flash boot boot.img and am prompted with:
C:\ADB>fastboot flash boot boot.img
sending 'boot' (3860 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.820s]
writing 'boot'...
OKAY [ 1.810s]
finished. total time: 2.630s
After that I enter the command: fastboot reboot-bootloader and my phone reboots and goes back into bootloader. When I try to open up Recovery my phone opens it for a second and then just tries to reboot normally, and bootloops.
Try doing "fastboot reboot" without the bootloader part.

fastboot reboot just reboots into your rom. If your having to take your battery out then it looks like there is still a problem.

That you are flashing a ROM for the Vivid or Holiday device.
I think the Dark_Raider file might be since it's in the Vivid development Forum. But I haven't used it.
Look in the developmental thread and read some more.
Okay so I just rooted my HTC Vivid, ive tried many different roms and my WiFi doesnt work on any of them.
A hour ago my WiFi was working fine on Stock ICS 4.0.3.
Currently im running Holics ROM 0.8.
Anything?
Thanks,
Dom
I would try reflashing Rom run fix permission and make sure busybox is installed hope this helps.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium
Yeah I did reflash each individual rom. I probably re-flashed over 10 times.
And i tried permissions aswell.
Nothing yet.
And what is busybox?
Its background support software basic runs some linux commands might get WiFi running.

you need to fastboot the boot.img extract the boot.img from the rom you are going to use put the boot.img in the same folder as fast boot open that folder and right click will hitting shift key in a open area pick command prompt reboot your phone to hboot hook it to your computer and at the command prompt type fastboot flash boot boot.img once it is done reboot your phone and your wifi should work

Quick question: After you extract the boot.img from the rom zip and flash it via fastboot, can you leave the boot.img in the rom zip or need to remove it before flashing the rom? I am still S-on.

I can't seem to figure out how to fix mine.

You're going to have to reflash the kernel separately from the ROM. I have to do it the same way, bc I'm "S-On" still as well. That's the only way to get your Wifi working. Make sure the kernel's boot.img is in the same folder as your fastboot.exe and your adb files. Reboot your phone into fastboot mode, then connect it to you computer.. it should then change to 'fastboot usb' which means your phone is recognised. Open your command prompt in the folder with fastboot.exe, and run the code, "fastboot flash boot boot.img," if you see 'OK' msgs then everything is done correctly. Reboot your phone n it should work perfectly.

Since you have CWM installed, you must have unlocked your bootloader, so all you need to do is flash the boot.img file from the CM10.1 zip file in fastboot usb mode and you should be good to go.

Its not a stupid mistake at all. Please refrain from calling it stupid either because that was not the mistake. The mistake was that you didnt flash the boot.img. Just extract the boot.img fro the CM10.1 and put it with your platform-tools in your SDK folder. Then, in command prompt, navigate to the SDK folder. Reboot your phone into fastboot.
Type: fastboot devices <---------- to make sure your phone is detected
then: fastboot flash boot boot.img <---- assuming you did not change the boot image name, in which was just replace the second boot with watever you changed it to. DO NOT FORGET THE .img AT THE END

At OP, the thing i said to do does not even require S-OFF. With S-OFF you can just flash the ROM and your good.
It seems I'm running into the same problem. I went through the steps here but I still can't get the phone to boot. I did S-OFF and I have CWM running as well on the phone it just wont boot any ROM... It just kinda loads endlessly

You need to have adb and fastboot installed in your computer.. if you are using windows you need the htc usb drivers as well
are you on windows?
Just install the 4EXT recovery app from the play store. Follow the steps and it will flash it for you.
Is your device unlocked?
Wow, this is some crazy in-depth **** goin' on!
I am on windows, mind to lay down all the things I need and the steps to follow?
I will read it tomorrow morning, needs to sleep now, it's past midnight here already lol
thanks again!
of course it is if you have already installed custom rom...how stupid of me

Download the recovery zip file.
extract the recovery.img file and place it in C:\android-sdk\platform-tools\recovery.img
Open up command prompt and type:
cd \android-sdk\platform-tools
Now, make sure it detects your android:
fastboot devices
You'll see a line with a serial number, you're good to go (remember you need to be in fastboot mode while you do all of this, Vol. Up + Power while off)
Now, just flash the recovery.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Would this work on the inspire 4g. IV tried flashing it from the app didn't work so now I'm here using the search button. Any suggestions?

This is the maual way to do it and while its good to know, the 4EXT Recovery App will do it all automatically for you.

Did the 4EXT app automatically detect the device properly? Is the recovery compatible with your device?
Yes it detected my phone and yes its compatible cuz the custom Rom I'm running supposedly had it built in but it's still cwm...... Android revolution hd 7.3

Thanks for the reply again lol,
and yeah I've flashed it to a custom rom lol.
By downloading recovery zip file you mean going into 4EXT website and download it down?
Once I extract it out, I need to put inside my phone's SD card right? I'm pretty lost at this part now.
I got how you mean by doing all this in the fastboot mode (The white screen with lines of words and THREE androids below the screen, correct?)
And I'm not sure about flashing the recovery.img, oh god..

In the bootloader go fastboot USB, I think you need debugging on but not certain. Then your ready to type command.
Sent from my Incredible S using xda premium
Connect your phone to your computer via usb (Make sure usb debugging is checked on the phone)
Open a command prompt window
type the following
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
Oh okay sweet, so I still need to go to 4EXT to download the file first before proceeding right?
No need am attaching the latest 4EXT TOUCH Recovery Zip file
Extract and follow instructions above.
Also dont forget to check the md5 of the .img file. You brick your device if you flash a corrupt recovery
If it works click "Thanks"
Please report if it works and if it does..please edit the title of your thread and added a '[Solved]' to it in the begining
Okay thanks alot! I will try it along the week, I'm kinda busy with daily work schedule recently,
Will update once I try it!
Thanks alot!

These steps are manual steps on how to do them and if u just want 4EXT Recovery, then you can download the 4EXT Recovery App. The app will download the proper files as well as flash the recovery once the download is finished.
Hello folks!
I was running a "google play edition" rom on my phone (rooted/ superuser). Today it said there was an ota update for kit-kat available. I let it go through with the install. For some reason the install failed (I think it was a 'status 7').The phone wouldn't boot (instead of a loading boot animation just blue screen) Then when I went to try to reflash my old rom (I was stupid and didn't have a backup), I got a status 7 error again, and I've gotten one for every rom I've tried to flash (HTC One nexus edition and another one, can't remember the name).
Anyway, I can push and pull files via adb but nothing will install. I've tried sideloading too but that failed also.
I have CWM 6.0.2.8.
Any help would be lovely.
Update CWM to newest image. That version won't work with 4.4

Okay, so I'm trying via fastboot but when I do I get this:
Code:
tys-macbook-pro:android tyrecegivens$ fastboot flash recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.3-m7tmo.img
unknown partition 'recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.3-m7tmo.img'
error: cannot determine image filename for 'recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.3-m7tmo.img'
What am I doing wrong?
PS: thank you for your responses thus far.

Do you have the recovery in the same folder that fastboot is in?
Is the phone in fastboot USB mode while connected to the computer?
Try renaming it to "recovery" without the quotation marks. Then just use "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" without the quotations.

That did it! I think it was because I was using "fastboot flash filename.img", leaving out recovery.
Rom installed. Thanks a million man!
