while its booting and it gets stuck on boot animation boot into recovery do a format clean cache dalvik cache then restore the nandroid backup.....
Also the cause of this is because you didn't do a full wipe for data system cache dalcik cache.......reply what happens
So the next time you wanna flash it follow the steps carefully cz I did it and it worked normally
Also you should be careful if you are primoC or primoU

But I dont have nandroid backup because it was after that step...I was to take backup...i just flashed it as step 1 says...And i just did it the way tutorials told me to.... And when I press power button..phone wont respond at all...I will have to take it to HTC service center??
Please help me dude!!
**** if Lloir is saying that your phone is bricked then your doomed.I don't know if there is a way,you should ask Lloir cz he's a dev
Never tell anybody outside the family what you're thinking again.
if you plug in your phone to your computer:
1. do you have LED on? as in charging.
2. it is recognized by PC?
don't worry it is not bricked. the thing is, you flashed the kernel and the phone does a reboot after that automatically.
do you have a custom recovery installed? cwm, twrp... it was one of the steps from the tutorial.
if you do, head over to the developer section, take Hasoon all in one tool. connect your phone to your pc, open the tool, at the bottom 2nd box, you should see "Reboot in Recovery". select that and press the button.
now your phone will reboot in recovery.
here, you should wipe:
cache
dalvik-cache
system
factory settings
now select to flash a rom (in twrp recovery it is called install in cwm i guess is flash a custom rom or something like that).
select the cm9 rom that is sitting on your sdcard.
after this is finished, reboot.
you must do these steps after you did the first two questions above. if your phone gets led, it is not bricked.
Dude tell us what you have exactly done.step by step from when you unlocked bootloader till it didn't boot
Never tell anybody outside the family what you're thinking again.
yeah, steps... did you even install clockwork mod recovery, or flash the ROM? how did you root after you unlocked bootloader?

Let me tell you step by step what I did...
Step 1. Unlocked bootloader with the help of www.htcdev.com
Step 2. Boot into recovery mode. Status now say *Unlocked*
Step 3. Flashed by putting the boot.img in one folder with fastboot.exe. Ran following commands in command prompt after navigating to that particular folder:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Step 4. Now, my phone loads up saying . "This build is for htc use and blah blah" on booting screen below HTC logo... it stucks up on HTC ONE V screen. after sometime I tried restarting by connecting it to PC and Clicking on boot into recovery from HTC ONE V ALL IN ONE TOOL I got from this forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1676686)
Step 5. Boom. Its wont reboot. No response at all.

I don't know whether you really bricked your phone. What I can see here is your phone is out of battery. Plug it to a wall charger and leave it there for atleast 4 hours or the best 8 hours.
Now back to step you taken:
1. Correct
2. Correct (but that is not recovery mode, that is bootloader/hboot mode).
3. Wrong... you should flash a recovery first.
4. Correct ... now your device run out of battery
5. No battery.
So the correct way... after you fully charge your device.
1. Download the rom.zip
2. Take out the sdcard, connect PC and put the rom.zip onto sdcard, put back the sdcard to your device.
3. Download a recovery (either CWM or TWRP).
4. Press Power On (assuming your device is fully charge and not bricked).
5. It will get stuck at ""This build is for htc use and blah blah", press power button and hold it and you will see the three button blinking and your device shutdown.
6. Release the power button, hold the volume button, the device will boot to hboot. Press power once, it go to fastboot
7. connect to PC, flash the recovery. Same way like you flash boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
8. once done, press power once, it will go to hboot, select recovery
9. do a nandroid backup as you still have a stock rom as I don't see anywhere you said you already flash a ROM (or am I missing that?)
10. Select the rom.zip and install your desired rom.
11. Once complete, reboot run setup and you are done.

DUDE!
Your phone has nothing. It is not bricked. It is in perfect shape. Its just, that you need to do some steps in order to make it work. I'm sorry that no one was able to answer you but it was an easy one.
What you need to do is following:
SEE HERE FOR DOWNLOAD THE CWM RECOVERY
Steps:
download the zip file and extract (From the link above) (you will get recovery.img file)
Download and install the Android Standard Developer Kit, I placed the folder at C://
I think fastboot.exe have to be downloaded seperately because it is not available in the latest android SDK Link
Place the recovery.img where the fastboot.exe is located (bundled with the SDK)
Now open command prompt and navigate to your Android SDK folder by pressing cd
Now type:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_the_recovery.img (the name will be recovery with the extension .img)
after that just boot into bootloader and from that menu, using your up and down volume buttons, use RECOVERY.
Now assuming that you've installed only the kernel, what you need to do is, find the menu for mounting your SDCARD under the CWM recovery (it should be in advance menu or something)..
Mount the sd card and place the CM9 rom on the sdcard.
after it is finished loading your rom onto the sdcard, unmount it.
now:
Wipe everything! This include: Cache, Dalvik Cache, and most importantly System.
Now go ahead and install CM9 after and ONLY after you've wiped those. You can double wipe if you are in doubts. After you install the rom, reboot.
Now it should boot ok!
Keep me posted if you managed to do it!

Reboot into recovery and try clearing cache. Or do a full reset. If not load another ROM on. Did you perform a nandroid back up first?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
You need to flash the boot.img included in the rom zip file, separately in fastboot.
Coz it wants to emphasize n make sure that u agree that its Quietly Brilliant ..
Just say out loud " ya I agree n its brilliant indeed..All hail HTC One X" ..n then its gonna move on for sure..
On a serious note..Did u flash the kernel correctly..I mean did u clear the cache in cmd?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
To flash the boot.img, the command is "fastboot flash boot xxx.img"
With xxx.img the name of the boot file you want to flash.
You need to go in fastboot on the phone press and hold power + volume down.
On your PC, use fastboot on a cmd windows.
Hope this can help.
Please follow instructions on howto install custom roms they are included in first post of mostly every custom rom.
From what you say you probably didnt flash boot.img at all. So you are in a bootloop. Flash boot.img of the custom rom and restart your phone and it will boot correctly
Hi,
thanks for your help, i did not a perform a nandroid back up first.
I cannot enter in recovery mode, so i went to fastboot and installed Clockworkmod Touch Recovery 5.8.4.0. But i cannot enter again on recovery mode.
I started in fastboot and did the command fastboot flash recovery (the team win projects recovery image):
when pressed enter first time - failed battery low, second time - failed remote 00000008, third time is sending the recovery, does it take some time?

It takes the most a couple of seconds. Please read some how-to's before flashing !
Charge your batt to full !!!
1 : is to unlock bootloader
2 : to flash a custom recovery
3 : backup existing (original) rom
4 : wipe everything
5 : flash the boot.IMG with fastboot commands
6 : flash rom in recovery
And before flashing the boot.IMG erase cache and also after flashing the boot.IMG with fastboot command.
Also erase cache after flashing the custom recovery !
Please correct me if i'm wrong

You should have flashed the boot.img before flashing the ROM.
Steps to get out of boot loop
Hi,
You are probably in a boot loop because the boot.img you have is not compatible with the custom ROM or is not correctly flashed. First charge the phone upto at least 50% battery (to be safe). Then try following the steps below:
1. Download this pack>> Fastboot Pack http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1616741
2. Extract the boot.img from the Custom Rom you are trying to install in a folder on your computer.
3. Extract Fastboot Pack into a folder on your computer and replace the boot.img by the boot.img extracted from the Custom Rom in Step.2
4. Turn your phone OFF
5. Turn your phone ON in bootloader mode by holding the power and vol down buttons at the same time, your phone will start in HBOOT mode. It will be displayed somewhere in the middle of the text.
6. Use the volume keys to move up and down the list, and select Fastboot, then press the power key. Now your phone will come in FASTBOOT mode.
7. Connect your phone to the computer via USB cable. Your phone will now display USB FASTOOT instead of just FASTBOOT.
8. Run 05-erase-cache.bat
9. Run 06-flash-custom-boot.bat
10. Run 08-install-clockwork-recovery.bat
11. Disconnect the USB cable. Your phone will now again say FASTBOOT.
12. Use the up or down volume key to select HBOOT and press the power button. This will take you back to HBOOT mode.
13. Use the volume keys to scroll to RECOVERY and press the power button.
14. This will take you to Recovery mode, now you can flash the Custom Rom you want using Recovery mode.

Hi all,
I think my friend and i bricked his phone last night.
Its the HTC one x and we used the Hasoon2000 method. I think the problem was the perm root part of the software said unable to connect to device.
I searched around and someone said to flash supersu and that should do it. However after flashing that we did a backup of the phone in clockwork recovery.
We then tried flashing the viperX rom which we did on another one X and worked fine, it got to 1% and restarted. It then stuck at the quietly brilliant page.
We can't get it to boot into recovery but can get it to go to the bootloader. We tried to do the fastboot command from the PC to erase fastboot cache but it couldnt connect to the device.
I have read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1764421 and but it is about the AT&T version, what recovery image would i need?
Also how can i tell if it is hard bricked or soft bricked? As i'm worried it could be hard bricked cause i couldnt erase the fastboot cache.
Any help is appreciated, and sorry if this is answered somewhere else but i couldnt see an answer.
Bit more bootloader info:
Unlocked
S-On
Hboot 1.39.0000
If possible i'd like to help my friend finish rooting it but if its easier put it back to normal.
Again thanks if anyone can help me.
What does the bootloader say, EVITA or ENDEAVORU ?
It says endeavoru
Then stay away from the HTC one XL forum, its a different phone !!!
Do you have the HTC drivers installed and a folder on the pc with the fastboot files ?
Place these files in a folder like this
http://db.tt/ldx3qOOU
C:\fastboot\files i gave you
Then put the phone in the bootloader and open a command prompt inside the fastboot folder on the pc and type
Fastboot devices
If a serial comes up we are good to go !

Just connected it to my laptop and the pc said fastboot drivers installed and made the noise of a device connecting and disconnecting.
Haven't tried what you said yet as it said battery is too low on the bootloader. I've now plugged it in a plug socket and have it on the htc quietly brilliant screen. I take it this should still charge it?

Is it possible for you to turn the phone off?
IF so it should charge a bit quicker that way
Also just to clarify, how did you try to install Viper X on your phone?
Hmm no, if its bootlooping then yes. Is the bootloader unkocked and do you have a custom recovery installed yet ?
In case you have a custom recovery installed put the phone in the recovery it will charge the batt in there .....
Otherwise put the phone in the bootloader and run this file from within the fastboot folder
http://db.tt/aLqeTpPO
It will continuously reboot the phone and charge it little by little, leave it like this for an hour or so.
No, if i go into bootloader and fastboot then power down it turns itself back on if its plugged in.

The bootloader says unlocked, and we had CWM recovery installed it no longer loads up, it just reboots itself.
I'm confused by what you mean, what command would i use to run that file from the fastboot folder and after doing that do you mean i should leave it charging from the laptop?
Link to image of the bootloader if this helps - http://imgbin.org/index.php?page=image&id=11217
Just connect the phone to the pc and put the phone in the bootloader then execute the .bat file from the fastboot folder (download it and move it in there)
It should start rebooting the phone over and over again.
Edit : I see fastboot usb in the bootloader that's good ! :thumbup:
We need to get the batt charged so we can reflash the recovery, that will probably solve it all.

Ok this is working. It doesn't say about low battery anymore on the bootloader. But ill leave it charging for a bit. What is my next step?
Next step is to reflash the recovery, download this one

Rename it to recovery.img and Copy the file in the fastboot folder. Put the phone in the bootloader again and flash the recovery
All these commands are executed from the command prompt inside the fastboot folder.
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then enter the recovery by pressing hboot one time (confirm with powerbutton) then press recovery

YES! That has worked, we are in recovery. What can i do now? Should i try flashing ViperX or is the phone not permarooted?
Last time i tried to do permroot with the Hasoon2000 tool. That didnt work and i just flashed superSU, i think i must be missing something.
Thanks so much for your help!
If you do this, you will be good. Maybe you van skip some steps because you already did them before but I mention them anyway
Download the viper x JB rom, open it with an unpack program and copy the boot.img and place it in the fastboot folder. Copy the rom.zip to the phone (mount as usb drive in the mounts & storage part of the recovery)
Now put the phone back in the bootloader and flash the boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash boot boot img
Fastboot erase cache
Enter the recovery again and do a full wipe , also wipe the dalvik cache under the advanced tab. Then install the rom.zip with the
Install zip from sdcard menu !
Install the viper and choose in the aroma installer of the rom FULL WIPE and the question you get about the custom kernel you answer with NO !
Don't worry about root, the rom is standard rooted
Good to go mate

Hi all
I have a little trouble with my phone, because I did some stupid things on it...
I had android 2.3.5 with 3.12.405.1
So first I unlocked bootloader with htc-dev page, and now I know I shouldn't do that. Then after I found here a post what describes what should I do if I was noob and use the htc-dev. I followed the instructions so I can use the revolution hd zip and installed it.
After that reboot my phone and stucked on the htc boot logo. I can reach the 4text recovery menu and everything but I have no clue what should I do now. I tried the factory reset and everything what I found. Maybe I have to put back the original rom, but I don't know how to do it.

Hey
Thanks for the help, I'll try it afternoon
I did exactly the same: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31211732&postcount=396
The procedure to do that is -
1. Download the attached zip file, extract it to Desktop or wherever you want using 7-zip/WinZIP.
2. Open the ROM zip file you downloaded. Extract boot.img from this zip to the previously folder which you just extracted in the above step.
3. Turn your phone completely off (pull out battery). Then hold 'volume down' while pressing power and continue holding it till you see a white screen with 3 green skateboarding Androids. This is the bootloader.
4. FASTBOOT will be the first selected option in the list. Press 'Power' to select it. Make sure that now it shows FASTBOOT in red under the initial green text.
5. Connect your phone to computer. See that the red FASTBOOT changes to FASTBOOT USB.
4. Open the adb_fastboot folder, open 'Start here.bat'. It will open a command prompt window in that folder.
5. Type 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'. You only need to do this once. It will flash 4ext Touch Recovery, which is better than CWM (thanks to madmaxx82 for the awesome recovery).
6. Type 'fastboot flash boot boot.img'. You will need to do this everytime you flash a custom ROM, but before you do so be sure you've copied the boot.img from the ROM zip to the adb_fastboot folder.
7. You should see some stuff like 'Sending data... data sent successfully'. If there's any error at this step report it here.
8. Once it has done everything and displayed successful confirmations, disconnect phone.
9. Hightlight BOOTLOADER and press 'power' to select it. Press 'volume down' to highlight RECOVERY and 'power' to select it.
10. Once you're rebooted into 4ext Touch Recovery, go to 'install zip from SD card', browse for the ROM zip file in your SD card. If you haven't copied the zip to SD card, go back a step, connect phone to computer, select 'toggle USB storage' and then copy it onto the SD card. Once you have the ROM zip on the sdcard, go to the main screen of the recovery, choose 'wipe/format'->format all partitions (except SD card). Now go back to main screen, choose 'install zip from sdcard' and browse to the ROM zip location, select it and confirm that you want to flash it.
11. When the flash process is done, go back to the main screen of recovery, and press reboot now. You will reboot into the custom ROM.

After reboot I stucked on the htc boot logo screen.
If you are s-on, then you have to flash the boot.img from the rom you installed using fastboot.

I have an international One x, I don't know what I did wrong but my phone never gets past the ROM's logo screen. I've tried flashing about 6 different ROMs that all worked before but the boot.img file never flashes. When I type the command in fastboot, it says it flashed successfully on the pc but the phone just shuts down. When I open it again, it doesn't boot. I also tried restoring to a stock nandroid backup (from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1975140 ) and. I tried restoring to a backup I'd made a month ago but neither worked.
I tried looking for a RUU to run but none worked or are compatible because I can't find one higher than 3.16 and I have S-ON so can't flash anything below that. I looked on the internet in general and here http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=Endeavor
Info about the phone:
It's S-ON with an unlocked bootloader
hboot 1.39.0000
CID HTC__J15
Software version 3.16.415.4
radio-5.1204.162.29
Posting here is a last resort, I've tried everything I can think of over the past 3 weeks and I don't know what to do

Wow what a poem first thing as you may know, flashing the boot.img is a really important step to do if you want your rom to work... I see that you can't do it but i have just a question, does your phone shuts down immediately after you type the command or at the end of the flashing process?

Shuts down the second I press enter.
The only other thing I can think of is trying to flash the ROM whose boot.img last successfully flashed but I don't know which one that is. Is there a way to find out?

Hi Hadya!
I guess you should start from scratch. U will lost all data on your device but after all it is working again.
!!! IMPORTANT !!!
1. Make sure your device is fully charged for this. Otherwise it will be a big stress to get it back to work.
2. Copy all data from the SDCard away because you will loose EVERYTHING!!!
3. You need your unlock_token.bin to unlock your device again. If you don't have it available please request this from the HTC web site.
Now, let's recover your device...
1. Download this file and extract it.
http://ul.to/j4j1cpft
2. Enter fastboot
Press POWER & VOLUME DOWN KEY and enter the bootloader
3. Connect your device to PC for the 1st Recover
Test if your device is available via fastboot and use this command:
fastboot devices
You should see your device with Serial number
Now lock your device back with command:
fastboot oem lock
You will see a short message and your bootloader is locked. You should see the message on top of the bootloader with RELOCKED.
That's fine.
Now start the ARUWIZARD from the downloade ZIP file and flash your device as you know it.
There is a ROM file inside which is same as your current hboot. This flash procedure will allign your partitions on the device and it might be that you will loose all SDCard files. I'm pretty sure that you will loose it.
The ROM contains only hboot, recovery and boot Images but it will "RECOVER" your device.
4. Unlock your device
After this procedure you are ready to unlock your device again. Enter fastboot and flash your unlock token again.
fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_token.bin
After the device is unlocked flash boot and recovery image of your choice within this way:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase Cache
After this you have a half running device.
5. Second Recover Step
Now you need to do a final repair for the device. For this you need to download Android Revolution HD 31.x ROM.
1. Put this ROM on your SDCard
2. Enter recovery and flash this ROM
3. Flash the boot.img to your device
4. Start your device and ignore the 1st Setup steps.
5. Now go to:
SETTINGS > Backup & reset > Reset phone (touch this)
6. On the next page scroll down to the bottom and select:
"Erase Music, Picture... on the storage"
7. Press "OK" and wait
When the phone is back again device is fully recovered. The SDCard is reformated and all partitons are back again.
Now you can do everything you want with your device again.
Best regards!

I'm facing a tiny problem with running the ARUWizard. It says my phone's battery is below 30% and won't flash every time although I fully charged it till the light turned green.
Hmmm... this seems to be a tricky thing.
Try this:
1. Copy the rom.zip into the same Folder where your fastboot.exe is located
2. Enter bootloader and go to fastboot.
3. Flash the file with this command:
fastboot flash zip rom.zip
4. Enter the original recovery
5. When you see the red triangle than do a short press on the power button and vol up and you will see the menue as same as you know it from the CWM Recovery
6. Wipe Cache
7. Wipe data/factory
8. unlock the bootloader
9. Flash the rom.img from AHD Image
fastboot flash boot boot.img
10. Flash CWM recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
11. enter Recovery and Mount USB
12. Copy the AHD ROM to your device & flash it
13. Boot the ROM, wait up to 10 minutes bevore you use it & ignore the setup
14. Within the Phone enter Settings and do a FACTORY RESET

Hi,
I'm trying to install Pure AOSP custom ROM, because I read that its stable and smooth wiht Xperia S so I think it would work fine with my SL.
if you suggest better ROM for the Xperia SL I will be thankfull.
I have followed toturials to use CWM recovery but i didnt get anything usefull. Also I have tried the Falsh Tool but nothing happen.
I do all the steps but when I get to restart the phone in recovery nothing happen.

Ah no biggies!
You need to have unlocked bootloader for this.
You can unlock bootloader here. But first backup DRM keys using procedure here.
This Guide is for Kitkat ROM's.
Got everything now. Follow the following steps, You will have the ROM in Your phone by it:
1) Copy both the ROM.zip and gapps.zip to Your phone.
1) This step is on PC.. Download this boot.img. This is required as the boot.img of some Kitkat ROM's don't have TWRP built in or have incompatible recovery. Rename it to boot.img
3) Then copy it to "C:\Flashtool\x10flasher_lib" or wherever You installed the flashtool. We need to copy this to there since we need to use 'adb.exe' and 'fastboot.exe' from here.
4) Open command prompt on the same path as above.
5) Switch off Your phone. Then connect the cable to PC but not to phone. Press volume up button on Your phone and while pressing it, connect the cable to phone. Blue LED will lit up. If there is no blue LED, do this step again.
6) Then use these commands in command prompt to flash the boot.img to the phone:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
The boot.img is used to just get the TWRP to the phone to flash the ROM.
7) Now Your phone won't boot normally if You try to do that. What You need to do is as soon as the device powers up, try entering recovery. Since we flashed the boot.img, it will boot into recovery.
8) Then format system, data, and cache. This will delete all Your apps and their data. It won't delete Your sdcard data. Be careful, don't format sdcard by mistake!
9) Now flash the ROM.zip from recovery.
10) Format cache and dalvik cache only.
11) Flash gapps from recovery.
12) Reboot! Done!
The first boot and reboot are a bit long. During reboot, the phone will seem to be stuck at the Sony logo, but it is just processing, so no need to worry.
In case You don't have TWRP after flashing the ROM, You can follow the procedure from here to flash the recovery.
Kitkat instructions end here.
Lollipop ROM:Link to Android Lollipop (5.0) gapps : Link.
For flashing the AOSP ROM's:
1) This step is on PC.. Download this boot.img. This is required as the boot.img from AOSP Lollipop ROM's don't have inbuilt recovery. Download the the root binaries from here if You are using Pure AOSP ROM by billchen1977 only.
2) Copy the ROM.zip, gapps.zip and SuperSU.zip to Your phone.
3) Then copy boot.img to "C:\Flashtool\x10flasher_lib" or wherever You installed the flashtool. We need to copy this to there since we need to use 'adb.exe' and 'fastboot.exe' from here.
4) Open command prompt on the same path as above.
5) Switch off Your phone. Then connect the cable to PC but not to phone. Press volume up button on Your phone and while pressing it, connect the cable to phone. Blue LED will lit up. If there is no blue LED, do this step again.
6) Then use these commands in command prompt to flash the boot.img to the phone:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
The boot.img is used to just get the TWRP to the phone to flash the ROM.
7) Now Your phone won't boot normally if You try to do that. What You need to do is as soon as the device powers up, try entering recovery by pressing volume up button when the LED turn blue. Since we flashed the boot.img, it will boot into recovery.
8) Then format system, data, and cache.. This will delete all Your apps and their data. It won't delete Your sdcard data. Be careful, don't format sdcard by mistake!
9) Now flash the ROM.zip from recovery.
10) Format cache and dalvik cache only.
11) Flash gapps from recovery.
12) Do this step only for billchen1977's Pure AOSP ROM! Flash the SUperSU downloaded in the first instruction. If You are flashing nAOSP by mickybart, don't follow this step, skip to next step.
13) Reboot!
14) After flashing the Lollipop ROM, You loose Your recovery, You can get it back by following the procedure here.
15) After flashing a Lollipop ROM, the first boot displays only boot animation for 10-15 minutes. This doesn't mean Your phone is bricked, it is just initializing the apps. During second boot, it will seem to be stuck at "Sony" logo for 5 minutes. This is also normal.
Suppose You are not able to recover at some point and can't wait for next reply, You can flash a stock firmware using flashtool.

Got everything now. Follow the following steps, You will have the ROM in Your phone by it:
1) Copy both the ROM.zip and gapps.zip to Your phone.
2) This step is on PC.. Extract the boot.img from the ROM.zip
3) Then copy it to "C:\Flashtool\x10flasher_lib\" or wherever You installed the flashtool. We need to copy this to there since we need to use 'adb.exe' and 'fastboot.exe' from here.
4) Open command prompt on the same path as above.
5) Connect Your phone to PC switched on, unlocked(from lock screen) and Developer options enabled.
6) Then use these commands in command prompt to flash the boot.img to the phone:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
The first command is used to reboot phone to bootloader. Bootloader reboot is usually used to flash kernels to phone.
The boot.img here consists a kernel specific to this ROM. It also has inbuilt recovery(either a CWM or TWRP.)
7) Now Your phone won't boot normally if You try to do that. What You need to do is as soon as the device powers up, try entering recovery. Since we flashed the boot.img, it will boot into recovery.
8) Then format system, data, and cache.. This will delete all Your apps and their data. It won't delete Your sdcard data. Be careful, don't format sdcard by mistake!

Then You have not installed fastboot drivers. You need to install them from drivers folder in the setup location of Flashtool.
Else instead of step 5, switch off Your phone and disconnect it from PC. Then hold the volume up button and connect the phone to PC. The blue light will come on. And the release the volume up button. And just use the "fastboot flash boot boot.img" command.

You can also use an app called Rashr to flash the boot.img kernel instead of fastboot (at your own risk of course)...
