Hi everyone.
Have this problem been solved yet?
My Desire Z is unlocked with htcdev. Has CWM recovery. Everytime when I install another rom I have to go to fastboot and run command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" to flash with current rom's kernel. It is not only annoying but very buggy too.
this will continue to plague you untill you remove the unlocked bootloader and root your phone the proper way, ie follow the xda or cyanogen wiki

So, hi there.
I have a very strange issue with my DHD.
Let me start saying that I've read and tried all these guides:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Desire_HD:_Firmware_Downgrade_(Gingerbread)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1259821
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424023
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936214
But... they don't work.
I bought my DHD with Froyo and updated the stock rom everytime, last time with the new Sense 3 stock.
I unlocked the bootloader with the RUU from htcdev.
Fre3vo doesn't work, tacoroot doesn't work, the ace kit (and the lovely effen manual) doesn't work.
I have succesfully flashed clockwork img to recovery (fastboot flash recovery clockwork.img is OK).
I had made a backup of the stock rom with clockwork, and that backup rom is the only one which starts succesfully.
Every other rom i tried (cyanogen, miui, virtuous ics) is succesfully flashed but at the boot it seems freezed at the HTC logo (yes, I waited for about 30 minutes).
The weird thing, is what I did for having miui running on my DHD.
I downloaded the miui rom ZIP,
I copied the zip to the SD,
I copied the boot.img from the zip to my desktop,
flashed the zip with clockwork (after i wiped all the data),
reboot the DHD into fastboot
fastboot the boot.img I've extracted to the phone (c:\> fastboot boot boot.img)
then the phone boots to the boot image I've sideloaded via USB.
And this is working really fine without any problems...
Unless I had to reboot the phone on the road or the battery dies...
Isn't that a bit weird? What shall I do now?
I'm assuming you did re-lock the bootloader before trying acehack kit?

No, not really.
The bootloader is still unlocked at this moment.
Should I relock it? (why?)
You need to flash the boot.img for every rom, since you used the HTC dev method. Like above stated relock your boot loader and try the kit. As to why relock it, because the kit tells you too

Hey! That worked! Thank you so much!
I thought it was Clockwork's job to flash the boot (which is inside the zip), but after I installed the zip from Clockwork's recovery boot, I also flashed the boot.img with fastboot and now it works!
Thank you again!
If your soff then yes cwr will flash the boot. But because your son cwr currently can't. 4ext recovery does have a new option that will flash it for you, not sure how it works but you might want totake a look into it, as to avoid needing a computer to flash roms .

So, here is my question:
If I want to upgrade my Hboot, I need to flash stock (ICS) RUU first and then flash new firmware. I did this when I upgraded to 1.23. But now when I need to upgrade to 1.28 It says "relocked" and below "security warning". Only thing that helped me before was flashing stock RUU (ICS). But now I can not flash ICS RUU. Is there anything I can do except waiting stock JB stock RUU? Like, will it help if I flash stock recovery? Will it remove "security warnig" and boot into costum ROM?
I don't know how clear I explained my problem but I hope you get it
Thanks in advance!
First lock your bootloader , then In fastboot type fastboot oem rebootRUU, that will put you in ruu mode. Then flash the new firmware. Then fastboot reboot-bootloader, then unlock your bootloader again

there is a very detailed guide in the development thread, don't ask these things 1000 times... use search and flash the new firmware following the guide....

I have been searching all day but didn't find anything. I guess you didn't even read what I wrote. So please stop complaining, if there was somewhere the post that would help me, well, I couldn't find it. So get over it, that sometimes people post a new thread that has already been posted, this is a huge web site and sometimes it's not easy to find what exactly you need.
Thanks

thank you for your answer, and for not suing me for my post. I'll give it a try, I hope it will work
this is the guide man, it was in the first post.... you have to follow this guide to update your HBOOT, no need to flash a RUU....
this guide is taken from Shnizlon:
1. Download the ROM and place it on your virtual SD card.
2. Relock your bootloader via HTCDev.
3. Go into fastboot mode and type 'fastboot oem rebootRUU'.
4. Flash new firmware using this commend: 'fastboot flash zip PJ46IMG.zip' or using Y cable.
4a.On first time running the commend you will see FAILED, don't panic and just run the commend again.
5. Reunlock your bootloader via HTCDev.
6. Flash custom recovery using this commend: 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'.
7. Download boot.img and flash it using this commend: ‘fastboot flash boot boot.img’.
8. Use 'fastboot erase cache' to avoid boot issues.
9. Go into recovery and install the ROM.
10. Reboot your device and enjoy from JB!
lock bootloader

Hello
That's probably a noob question but I'm not a 100% sure what to do:
I bought a used HOX and didn't know that the bootloader was unlocked. The Rom that's running at the moment is Android Revolution HD. My CID is T-MOB012 (Tmobile Austria) and I'm currently on ICS (4.0.3) and Sense 4.0. My question is now:
I wanna update to JB (ViperX would be the best..). The problem is, that I don't have the unlock code from HTC dev since the phone was unlocked by the former owner (I'm in contact with him right now, so I hope I'll get it...). Can I just relock the bootloader and get a new unlock code from HTC dev? Can I flash ViperX? I read some posts where it said yes, some where no, so I'm not quite sure...
My idea would be the following: Backup --> Flash stock RUU (JB OR ICS?) --> flash new hBoot (there is 1.36 for TMO AT...) --> flash ViperX.
Will this work like that? Will this work without the original unlock code from HTC Dev?
Thanks for answers

You can get a new unlock code, just go through the htcdev process.
I'm not quite sure why would you do both RUU and flash hboot. Using a jb based ruu will update hboot as well as flashing it separately. No need for both.
And FYI: You will anyways need to lock bootloader and reunlock it, so you'll need the unlock code before attempting to update hboot.
Are you familiar with fastboot commands?

Yeah sure, I was making roms and stuff for desire z but I'm not yet familiar with the HOX.
So flashing viper will be possible although I don't have a HTC_... CID?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Yes, it is possible, because your cid is listed here.
1. Download the appropriate package for your cid and place it in your fastboot folder.
2. Make a backup of the current ROM and store it on your pc.
3. Make sure you have the unlock_code.bin in handy, you will need it. You will also need a custom recovery like cwm.
4. "fastboot oem lock" //locks the bootloader
5. "fastboot rebootRUU" //reboot in RUU mode
6. "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip" //will probably fail the first time, just run again
7. "fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin" //re-unlock the bootloader
8. "fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img"
9. "fastboot erase cache"
Now you should be all set to flash Viper X JB with your hboot 1.36!

I know this is really a stupid question but since I don't have the unlock key from the unlock, I need to do the unlock process again before flashing the hboot, right? So before starting the unlock process from htcdev, I need to fastboot oem lock, right?
Yes, you need to be locked to unlock.
Any updates?

i tried to relock my bootloader on htc one vx. now it says it is relocked and says security warning and only boots up into fastboot mode. tried everything i knew to and it still boots right into fastboot. any ideas?
I think you have to return to full stock first and then relock.
Sent from my HTC One VX using xda premium
you can either try to Run the RUU which will flash stock rom, or can unlock again, fastboot flash twrp recovery flash JMZ stock Rooted rom then relock
i ended up having to do the ruu thing and it worked. thnx guys

Are you flashing the boot.IMG found in the ROM?
Sent from my One V using xda app-developers app
no. i m flashing the rom.zip by install from sdcard. which i saved from pc.
You need to extract the boot.IMG file from the ROM and flash it in fastboot USB mode with the following command. "Fastboot flash boot boot.IMG"
Sent from my One V using xda app-developers app
You just don't allow to flash radio.img with S-ON.
let me try boot.img first and get back here
thanks guys
finally i managed to flashed this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230656
