I posted this in hawk's Rom thread but it's busy in there and didn't get answered. I'm just unsure about flashing the boot.img
Paste from thread:
I'm new to HTC phones and am used to Samsung and Odin. I'm s-on and assume that after doing the customary wipes and flashing the Rom in recovery, I should manually (using the power and vol down) reboot from recovery to the boot loader screen, switch to fast boot and do a "fastboot flash boot.img" from my cmd prompt, reboot and profit? Is this correct? Thanks

yes the command is fastboot flash boot boot.img. with being unlocked s-on with this phone we don't have to flash boot img but if the OP recommends it for some reason or another, i would.
Thanks for the reply. I flashed as I'm used to doing. It rebooted just fine. Although upon the devs suggestion and yours, I flashed the boot image. Nothing seemed to change but it was for good measure I suppose.

Recently, I have been doing some research on android os development trying to figure out a way to get android 4.0(ICS) successfully running on LG Thrill. I see that it's possible from this YouTube video http://youtu.be/YjEDY5yh90M BUT I have a few questions regarding some info found during my research. The Galaxy Nexus is equipped with a TI OMAP 4460/Dual-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A9 chipset/CPU and the Thrill is equipped with a TI OMAP 4430/Dual-core 1 GHz Cortex-A9 chipset/CPU. The difference between the two are explained in detail here http://www.differencebetween.com/difference-between-texas-instruments-omap-4430-and-vs-4460/ Other differences between these two devices are display, bluetooth hardware, wlan hardware, camera. Can an experienced Dev give me some input on whether I'm in over my head or on to something?
I have an sgs2 and would be interested in helping port ROMS over to the thrill but don't know enough to really get started...
I have been trying to get ICS on the thrill using this guide bit.ly/NCledu and ended up with this bit.ly/NrZ3YY It won't boot, but I was hoping an experienced developer could work with what I have.

Does anyone know how to get into fastboot on the thrill? I tried using
Code:
$ adb reboot bootloader
but it just restarts the phone and doesn't put it into fastboot mode, which I need to flash my compiled ICS.

I'm trying to get into the fastboot boot loader to see if my compiled ics will work on the thrill. I'm following the steps on the android source website which says
To flash a device, you will need to use fastboot, which should be included in your path after a successful build. Place the device in fastboot mode either manually by holding the appropriate key combination at boot, or from the shell with
Code:
$ adb reboot bootloader
Once the device is in fastboot mode, run
Code:
$ fastboot flashall -w
The -w option wipes the /data partition on the device; this is useful for your first time flashing a particular device, but is otherwise unnecessary.
I need to get into fastboot to flash it. I have CWM installed also.
i think you can just use CWM recovery

So far no luck because I barely have any clue as to what I'm doing, but I found something very interesting. If you search on google "cm-kang appspot" open the first link click lge on top and then p925 Thrill 4g, it shows a changelog for what looks to be cm9. I don't know if, where, or when you can get cm9 for the thrill, but it's interesting that it shows ics.

Nahh. No nightly has ever been compiled for P925. None will be expected until official ICS drops.
As for compiling, if you have an img to flash using fastboot, you're out of luck since fastboot does not work on the O3D/Thrill. What you can do is loop mount the img in Linux, extract the files and put them in a zip file, set up the necessary updater-script and flash it using CWM. It should do the same as doing fastboot.

Thanks for the info, but I figured out I was doing it wrong and I don't have the right drivers or something for the wifi.
I have an Incredible S, running CM-7.1.I tried updating to CM-7.2, and I got a wi-fi error, couldn't turn on the wi-fi. Tried nightly versions of 7.2 the same problem came up. I switched to MIUI rom (2.3, 2.4, 2.8, 2.9) and I got the same problem. Wi-fi could not work. The only rom that works on my mobile phone is the CM-7.1I dont want that ROM anymore. Now I am close throwing the phone on the wall, so please suggest me a way to clean my phone from every data possible, and give me a link to a stable ROM I can download. Any advice will be useful

Yes I am. I cannot install any ROMS, excepts CM-7.1, and I am looking for a way to wipe everything on my phone and install a MUIU working ROM. or any other ROM
Till you are s on you have to flash the boot.img inside the Rom.zip manually via fastboot.
Means, extract the boot.img into your fastboot folder on pc, flash the Rom on the Device, go into bootloader - fastboot and write on the pc in the terminal
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
And reboot device.
If you had a s off bootloader you won't have to do that.

Since you are s-on recovery can't enter the boot partition, means you have the flash the boot.img again with the kernel and modules for WiFi, Calling etc.
But you can access it through fastboot so you have to reflash it.
Helpful enough?

Just like what Silversniper said, just flash boot.img which extract from the ROM.
so i downloaded twrp flashed it everything is going good and then i back up everything and i then delete cache and facory reset in trwp which is data wipe and system wipe. ( i assume this is why i got this bootloop)
then i flashed desensed rom and i just have been on the boot up screen for like 10 minutes now. any suggestions?
Sent from my SCH-I905 using xda premium
Try to reflash the recovery , if that don't work relock the bootloader and run the stock ruu and get you back up and running then unlock again and flash recovery then restore the backup . The toolkit makes this process only a few minutes .
Also might wanna try fast boot flashing the kernel cause it probably didn't go through

Use Rom Manager for best results when backing/restoring...
USB OTG Info:
USB OTG will show up as external_sd. If external_sd is not mounting, reboot recovery. You must enter recovery with usb already inserted.
Installation:
Inscrutions can be found here @ http://www.techgeekal.com/2013/03/1...ckworkmod-touch-recovery-v6-0-2-8-on-htc-one/(outdated)
Unlock bootloader at http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/
Make sure fastboot is unchecked in power options and turn phone completely off
Boot into HBOOT then Fastboot
From fastboot. Use command "fastboot erase cache"
From fastboot. Use command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
OR
Flash via Rom Manager(must have root already).

You can flash using the following method (while booted up). Be extremely careful when typing the /dev/blovk part though.
Download the recovery.img file. Open terminal emulator and type the following (press enter after each line):
Code:
cd path/to/recovery/dir
su
dd if=<recoveryFileName>.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p36
That method can be used on any phone, granted that you replace the /dev/block portion with the correct location for the recovery partition on said device.
Thanks

lol I would advise against telling users to dd something. if that OF (output file)location is wrong, or even if it's a mismatched input file is wrong,... well it is bad. dd is a low-level tool, and it CAN and HAS wiped LIVE (running) harddrives; it can do this on Windows (via cygrun dd), Linux , *nix, Mac, anything that supports linux binaries. It can do the same to that block, or directory.

I know. But as always, it is up to the user to determine whether they feel comfortable, and are able, doing something, or not.
And if it wipes that partition, its only the recovery. It can still be fastbooted after the fact, and thats why I mentioned that the OF location has to be typed carefully.

Hello,
I just got my One today, and I've been trying to root it and stuff. I unlocked the bootloader successfully, then tried flashing the custom recoveries. For some reason only cwm (regular) worked; the other ones (cwm touch and TWRP) flashed successfully, but when I tried going into recovery, the phone would be on the "booting into recovery screen", then just turn off.
Anyways, I just continued with cwm regular, but it kept saying "can't mount /cache/recovery/command, log, last_log,..." basically lots of that stuff on the bottom. I ignored that. Then, I put superuser.zip into the SD card, but clockworkmod could not find the sd card stuff.
Finally, in CWM, I formattted /system, /sdcard, /external_sd, /data and /data/media. Then the phone would ONLY boot straight into the bootloader (even if I did NOT hold down), could not even open recovery. So I flashed the same cwm recovery again.
Now I can only go into bootloader and recovery. Sorry for the long post, and thanks for any help in advance.
I'm just guessing but I think it's because you formatted everything and never flashed a rom. So there's just nothing on your phone, it can only boot into the bootloader because everything else was formatted.

The thread will eventually drift away. Next time, post in the Q&A forum. More importantly, don't rely on a toolkit to save you. Sometimes, they don't work. The actual fix to this problem is fairly trivial (and to poster above, doesn't necessarily involve ADB either). If were trying to simply push stock software back on, it's three (well, in your case two) fastboot commands:
fastboot flash boot <path-to-boot.img>
flash system <path-to-system.img>
After unzipping a factory .tar. It's worth learning how to do in case this happens again.
