[Q] How do you flash boot.img? - HTC Incredible S

So I wanted to install szezso's sense 5 with jellybean ROM and he also said to flash to boot.img. How do you do that?? When i go into hboot and plug in my usb it says Fastboot Usb but my pc says usb not recognized and so i can't see my device when i type in adb devices.
How do you solve this??

In FASTBOOT USB mode, you should type:
fastboot devices

Bricked? Phone doesn't turn on!

Hey I think I just bricked my device..
I had CM7 on my incredible s and just wanted to install the new official ICS, because I wanted to sell it.
So I downloaded the following RUU:
http://d-h.st/7UC
Everything finished, the phone booted and got stock at the HTC logo..
I had to leave for 1hour so i just let it on the htc logo.
When I came back home the screen was black and i couldn't turn it on.
When I plug in power the Led flashed 1 time orange and turned off again.
When I connect it to the pc via usb, I hear the usb plugged in sound on my pc but it doesn't show the device..
adb doesn't show the device when i put "adb devices"
Can anybody help me out?
I really need your help!!
Thank you very much!
What happened if you press power button?Atleast can you access recovery or bootloader mode? What was the battery % when you flash the Rom? Try some another battery it might be a problem of battery too.

Nothing happens when I push the power button.. It had enought battery, during the installation it was plugged into the computer and head power..
I can't get into bootloader / CWM because it doesn't even turn on..

Okay so I took the battery out for some minutes and inserted it back in again, now its stuck at the htc logo again..
What could be the problem that it isn't booting?
Can't I upgrade from CM7 to that RUU?

Yes I used adb before, but I got a Galaxy Nexus a few days ago, so it could be that i deleted the drivers from the incredible s..
The incredible S isn't listed when I type in "adb devices".. and the pc says: unknown device when I'm in bootloader
Is your device S OFF or bootloader unlocked via HTC dev?

Thank you, but I already had that driver installed.. I checked the device manager and I saw that it has Android USB Devices: My HTC listed..
But when I run adb devices nothing is shown..
EDIT: Maybe thats because I didn't had the chance to turn on usb debugging?
EDIT 2: Would it be possible to install CMW from the sd card?

Ok download fastboot files which i have posted in link. Turn on your device. No problem when it stuck on HTC logo. Now run cmd file from my fastboot folder and run "adb reboot bootloader" and tell me is it working or not? I am waiting for your reply. It's already 12:30AM here but i will be very happy if i can help you to turn your device on.
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/54220763/Fastboot.zip
unfortunately it says device not found..
Thank you very much for your time!
Your my savior right now!
Any ideas?
Maybe installing something via sd card?

Okay so this is whats happening also:
When I plugin usb while in Bootloader it says: Unknown device
When I plug in USB while in fastboot it says: Android Phone: Android ADB Interface in device manager
Can I install something via sd card?
Atleast your phone stuck at HTC logo then it seems that your device is not bricked. If nothing happens then last way is only HTC service station or may be any dev can help you.

Flashing CWM recovery on a mac

I have motorola device manager installed, have unlocked the bootloader, have rooted the phone, running stock 4.1.1 now, but nothing shows up when I use the command 'fastboot devices'. Any other fastboot command just says "waiting for device" for ever. But, the command 'adb devices' brings up the device serial number when loaded into stock OS. But once in bootloader, it returns nothing either.
What am I missing?
You are probably missing drivers.

But I have installed the motorola device manager. Doesn't that install drivers? Also, is it possible for adb to work without drivers?
Any idea what could be the solution?

Adb drivers and fast boot drivers are different... Possibily Motorola device manager installs only Adb drivers not the fast boot...

Those should be installed automatically... Open device manager of your PC and check for hardware changes... Then insert the USB with phone on fastboot .. Check if any sound/hardware detected... If detected trouble shoot it... Else contact Mac helpline for this issue

Install flash image GUI from play store if you are currently able to use the phone. You can flash boot.img using that app and can then boot into recovery to flash the rom. I have had great success with it

Switch to twrp... Mount USB storage... Have windows or gparted reformat the offending sdcard...

[Q] Fastboot not recognizing device?

I do have my drivers updated and installed (no HTC Sync).
I have sdk-tools and everything as well.
here's what i noticed:
So when I have my phone at the bootloader plugged into my USB, it won't say fastboot unless I press the volume up or down keys and as soon as i do then it says "FASTBOOT USB".
On the computer however, it just says "<Waiting for device>" forever. weird
Any ideas guys?

Okay, well thanks for your help though!
I have a couple ideas, not sure if any work.
1) test with the phone in android to see if HTC Sync recognizes the phone
2) Re-download fastboot and re extract it to make sure it's not that
3) Boot into twrp and see if it recognizes adb commands. This one won't fix it, but I'm just wondering if could possibly be a problem with the phone not recognizing while not in system
4) Use adb to reboot to bootloader instead of using the apm or holding down volume. "adb reboot bootloader"
If I helped you don't forget the thanks button!

Try uninstalling everything HTC
Reboot you pc and phone
Once both are booted plug your phone in and it should load a bunch if drivers
Also when you go to bootloader it should install more drivers
If that does not work
Get the latest drivers from HERE choose the 6/6/13
