ON aeroevan's lastest cm9 4-16-2012 is his new kernel in the rom or does it have to be flashed seperately? If so are there any flashing instructions, Thanks
OK Iguess what i really want to know is how to flash a kernel with phone bootloader unlocked but S-ON???
Check the op. It appears to be in it. You may want double check.
If not, boot into recovery, wipe cache, and install zip and reboot.

Pretty sure you need s-off
ok if i use ext4 recovery can i flash kernel with s-on??
You need s-off to flash a custom recovery
i want to flash a kernel i already have a custom recovery
Just did some digging did you unlock your phone using HTC's unlocking tool or alpharev or downgrade boot loader? Can you flash a different rom other than stock? I'm getting a little lost myself...I thought you needed s-off for custom kernel/rom/recovery. But if you have a custom kernel and running aeros ics you're using the cymod9 kernel so I don't see why not. Make a backup and wipe dalvic & cache before you flash the kernel
i have bootloader unlocked s-on cmr installed and cm7.2. i can install any rom i want it the kernel i'm trying to get to. how can you flash a kernel with adb???no image

Hi folks,
As the title says, I want to change from CWM to EXT4 recovery for future use (mainly for ICS 4.x and ICS 4.x MIUI)
Can someone guide me how to get rid of the CWM recovery?
I only have the recovery flashed so I'm not using CWM ROM manager.
All help is appreciated.
Cheers,
R.
Go to 4ext.net. download recovery updater app. Install it then use it to install 4ext recovery. You should try the touch version is pretty sweet
Thanks,
So it will overwrite CWM?
And do I need to install recovery updater first and recovery touch on top of it, or will touch be installed through the main app?
EDIT: Well I answered my own questions .. .. It went pretty smooth, so thanks again!!
Got the same issue!
Unlocked my bootloader fallowing HTCdev.
My device is still S-ON. Currently using CWM to flash ROMs and fastboot to flash boot.img.
Is there anything to take care about when switching to 4EXT in my situation?
Thanks.
I have a Wildfire as above.
I was given it with 2.2.1 installed and have boot unlocked thru the HTC Dev website. The bootloader shows that the handset is currently S-on.
Can I root from here to install a custom ROM? And if so, how?
all you need its here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1145035 ...you will need to downgrade your HBoot first, but everything its explain in the link, its not very difficult but it takes a while and its a bit scary first time haha.
You can follow that guide posted above, or a far simpler method would be to flash a Custom Recovery (Via Fastboot) and then flash the ROM of your choice.
Custom Recovery flashing steps can be found here:

Once you have Clockworkmod installed, the instructions to install a Custom ROM can be found here:

Good Luck
CWM is now installed and backup complete.
Will be installing ROM soon. Thank you all for your help!!
hi Fedrat,
I have followed 3xeno' instructions and successfuly installed CWM, however I do not see CWM as an app or an option anywhere when I reboot.
It doesn't solve my S-ON problem and doesn't root my phone still showing HBOOT 1.02.0000 and cannot move to flashing a new rom until that gets out of the way.
What did I miss? and did you successfully install a new ROM?
Thanks
Cwm is an advanced recovery, it's written to the recovery partition which is hidden so the average Joe cannot mess with it.
Press volume down + power to get into hboot when the phone is off, then choose recovery and it will take you there.
Unlocking the bootloader doesn't give root access but it does set you up for it, most roms come pre rooted so once you get into Cwm first backup your stock rom then wipe cache, data, dalvik cache and flash your new rom from the install zip from sd menu.

No, flash ROM from custom recovery first, then the boot.img from fastboot. Use a custom, not stock, recovery (CWM, 4ext, or TWRP).

I have no idea what you're trying to say. What recoveries have you tried to flash? How have you tried to flash them? How are you trying to flash the ROM? What is "cyan," ClockworkMod (CWM) or CyanogenMod (CM)? What is a "stock recovery .boot img"? You can't flash anything from the stock recovery. You can't flash the stock ROM's boot.img with a custom ROM. Recoveries do not have boot.imgs that you need to worry about. I am saying that you need to have a custom recovery, like CWM, 4ext, or TWRP, installed. You do that through "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img." You then need to download a ROM zip, boot into recovery with power and volume-down, factory reset, and install the ROM. You then need to extract the boot.img from the ROM zip you just flashed and flash it from the computer with "fastboot flash boot boot.img."

Sorry for the misunderstanding. heres the deal ive had 3 clockworkmode recoverys and different versions tried 3 zips(roms) with each one and every time de same thing.BUT now thanks to your help i flashed the boot.img file and it works perfectly
Can I flash CM boot.img with this?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mkrtchyan.recoverytools
Also do the new nightlies have TWRP or CWM?
Or this:

No. And even if you could, your phone would refuse to boot until you flashed a stock kernel again (in case you have locked bootloader, and probably have -- otherwise you would just flash the desired kernel directly through fastboot)...
Hi folks,
can i go straight to this? my tab is rooted. IF i was to unroot then download the full rom from google, and flash the system, recovery and boot, would this be ok, what i mean is, it doesnt have to be iterative to the latest version does it?
What I did was the flash the bootloader 4.05 and Scrosler's Stock Rooted Busybox 5.1.1 ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-7-2013/development/rom-stock-rooted-5-1-1-lmy47v-root-t3098137. Follow his instructions or if you want to dirty flash, use TWRP to first wipe the 2 caches, flash the bootloader and then ROM, wipe caches again and boot to system. The first boot is very long.
You need to flash the bootloader as well since it got updated.
No need to unroot, you're flashing the system image..
Bootloader boot and system will do it, I'd recommend a clean install though. Flash all partitions or run flashall file letting it wipe the tablet.
ok thanks folks. didnt realise the bootloader had to be done too. I guess this also applies to my N5 when im updating that too?
SO .... if i was making instructions to flash my devices for future updates, would the following suffice?
dont unroot
dont remove TWRP
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-hammerhead-hxxxxxxxx.img
fastboot flash radio radio-hammerhead-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.img (do i need to even do this?)
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
boot to recovery and wipe dalvik cache
scrosler's ROM is standard 5.1.1. The beauty of it is that your phone will be rooted and busybox installed (with a trim). Just use TWRP to wipe whatever partitons you want (the 2 caches and also data if you want a clean install), then add bootloader and then ROM zips to the queue. Install them, then wipe the 2 caches again and boot to system. You might have to install SuperSu again from Play Store but you will be rooted.
It couldn't be simpler
