You do not extract anything from that zip, just flash it whole from the recovery as you would any boot.img

That IS a kernel, not a ROM. Just flash it via fastboot then... You can also do it via ADB if you know how to, if not, use the search bar

According what I've read in other posts you can't flash a raw kernel.zip with s-on.
It has also been pointed out that a boot.IMG is Rom specific, so they most likely wouldn't be interchangeable between different roms

boot.img is a kernel so don't search for a boot.img in a kernel.zip - it's the same thing only not compressed. ranger4740 is correct. You shouldn't use boot.img from one ROM and put it on another, but that's not what you asked for... As for the fact that you can't flash a kernel.zip with S-ON, I didn't know about that so I can't help you there... Sorry :/ Try asking your question in the kernel thread...

Ok, i also tried to do some research and read some forums, seems my only way to s-off my dhd, which i will be researching next... Thanks:fingers-crossed:
My desired rom has already updated with the kernel that i wanted flash ,so my battery life is now great, although there a bug in battery charging where in it notifies late yet it charges the phone batt. (not that big if a deal for me). Also i created an aroma zip file to install all system update on my phone since the original update flashes the kernel... Thanks for the replies "learn a lot from all those researches i made" :victory:

Are you using a ROM ? If so, go to the ROM's page and use the boot.img meant for that ROM.
I'm using stock

You have to find and install stock kernel modules zip file in recovery after flashing the boot image. You can use venom flasher of viper forum to revert to stock

Under android dev thread you will find all official RUUs released. Find the one matching your 415.11 code.download it.
Once downloaded, run it. When the first screen comes up, open an explorer, change dir to %tmp%, you will see two newly created directories. In one of them, find the file ROM.zip and copy it somewhere else. Now exit ruu setup. Open ROM.zip file and in it there are the IMG files you seek. However installing only boot.IMG won't work. They need their modules files to work properly. That's what I meant by flashing the modules zip in recovery.

Stock kernel is the boot.img and cannot be apply from recovery. It must be flash in fastboot mode - fastboot flash boot boot.img or use any kernel flasher. And you need to flash the stock modules too.

how to install ARHD after update jelly bean
Do you really need to open up a thread asking this? Read, read and read again.
the same way you used to flash ics roms.
there is no change of procedure. Since your firmware is updated now. all you need to do is put the zip in sd card.
flash the rom through recovery then flash the boot.img through fastboot
dnt foreget to erase cache.
and reboot. You are done

Yes you need to unlock and have a custom recovery installed. Look at the stickies in the one x android development forum. Bunch of easy to follow guides.

Hey guys, i am trying to flash a kernel on my phone (bricked kernel) i came from 3 different roms and i always get the same problem. After i flash the rom and enter into it and make sure everything works, I go back to fastboot to flash the boot.img of the kernel and then proceed to flashing the kernel module in revcovery. Everything goes well but once I restart my phone just wont proceed pass the htc logo
I am running hboot verson 1.36 as that is the highest i can go with a CID_044 and running CWM 5.8.4.0 Is there something i should be doing or am doing wrong? Please help and thanks
Are you on a JB rom ? If you are, you can't use those kernels. They are for ICS roms only
Mr.Hofs i right like always but if you are on a ics rom you still need to repack your boot.img. You can do that by using nibble.cc. First step is to take the source boot.img and that can be found in rom.zip and you select it when you are on nibble.cc by clicking on source img. Then you need kernels boot.img and that comes with the kernel download in the kernel.zip. When it is all ready they will upload and repack and you will download repackee boot.img. Hope it helps and good luck
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Haha thanks, and i had a similar case a while back and i adviced him to use the 0.6 or 0.5 bricked kernel because I saw some reports in the bricked thread about not booting. It worked for him.
And are you using the right bricked kernel on the right rom. There is one kernel for the aosp roms and there is one for the sense roms
I don't know if i understand (bad english). With repacked kernel will it work? Same case, CM10, 1.36 hboot and CWM 5.8.4.0.
hey guys thanks for all your help i got it to work on an ICS rom but not on a JB rom which is a real bummer cause i really like the JB roms so i guess i just skip flashing kernels and stick with stock Thank you all for your help i really appreciate it
In fact there are no custom kernels for JB yet at all, HTC has to release the source code for it .... but they haven't done that yet ! Till then stock is all we have
How did you get back to the default kernel after flash bricked kernel?
There are 2 ways to go back to the stock kernel
1 ; flash the boot.img from the rom you are using and flash the modules that can be found in the rom.zip
2 ; flash the boot.img from the rom you are using and reflash the rom without a full wipe ( only cache & dalvik cache )
These methods are the ones i know, maybe there is a tool somwhere ... but i don't use tools

I just want to make sure I understand...If I currently have Stock JB running on my HOX I cannot use a custom ROM because the source has not been released? I am asking because Ive gone through all the "standard steps" needed to unlock, root, backup, and flash CM10, but I cannot get past the boot screen.

No custom kernels are not possible. And i mean by that, that there is no sweep to wake functions or other big tweaks like undervolting. Custom roms are no problem ! And to your not booting question : CM10 on a JB hboot needs a modified kernel !

You need this one ! Then it will boot

also i have another few questions. Is the boot.img you are inking to different than the one packaged with the CN10 rom? If I want to go back to my stock nandroid backup do I need to flash the stock boot.img, or will the restoring of the backup take care of that for me? if i do need the boot.img from the stock rom, how do I get that.

Yeah I got a mail that my links are suspended !!!
But yes its a different boot.img, and if you want to restore the nandroid backup you also need to flash the boot.img from the nandroid backup ! Its located inside the backup folder
Here it is, the CM10 boot for usage with higher hboot versions.
Thanks everyone. One more question... I see the stock boot image in the backup, but it has a different file extension. Do I have to convert it, or do I just rename it to boot.img? Right now it's named boot.emmc.win

Just flash it like this:
fastboot flash boot boot.emmc.win
Thank you so much for the info.

If the nandroid backup is done with CWM the kernel will be named boot.img, and when the nandroid backup is done with TWRP recovery its named like the file you have ! :thumbup:

downloaded the slimbeam rom and the g apps and flashed it but the problem is after the htc boot screen i am getting this kind of message in red lines and then it get stuck at that i tried several other roms also still the same problem any solutions where i got wrong??
On your PC, take the rom you're flashing and unzip it with 7zip, get the boot.img file over to where your fastboot is, then in fastboot USB mode, issue this command -
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Be sure that you're only using a rom for your phone.

You're unlocked with HTCdev.com but encrypted signature security is still there - aka s-on.
You'll need to do this with every rom flash, unless it includes an s-on kernel installer.
And if one does, those don't work 100% of the time, not the dev's fault.
This is pretty much the standard procedure for all s-on HTCs.
You can skip it if your flashing a similar rom and you're sure it has the exact same kernel as the previous one.
But you'll probably spend more time figuring that out each time than just doing the procedure.
I think most people do the rom first, then the boot.img - I think that you want to go with that.
Thanks man really appreciated the reply
Btw can you suggest stable cm rom kernel combo and
also do I have to flash the boot. Img from the rom I downloaded?
I would be great if you provide stable cm rom :thumbup::thumbup:

Sorry, I own other HTC models and you have to go with one for your phone.
And yeah, you want to flash the boot.img from each rom you download and try.
The boot.img contains the kernel - that ties the hardware to the rest of the rom.
They have to match up.
So we I am also trying to flash ligux rom so we need to flash the rom and gapps in the recovery and then flash the hell boy kernel through flash boot via cmd right?

If that kernel and rom combo are compatible, yes, that's it exactly for an s-on HTC.

You will want to install your recovery using a cmd prompt. Our phone is S-on, so you may run into difficulty trying to use goo for a recovery installation. MAKE A BACKUP ONCE YOU GET TWRP INSTALLED!!!!
If you want cm10 you will need to get your twrp up and running first, download your desired cm10 zip to your computer, open archives using 7zip, copy the boot img from the rom zip to your working fastboot folder (assuming that you have fastboot set up since you got this far), open a cmd window and navigate to your fastboot folder using the command cd c:\yourfastbootfoldername.
Once your rom is installed, reboot to bootloader. Plug your phone into your pc, it should switch from fastboot to fastboot usb. Use the command fastboot flash boot boot.img. You should now be able to reboot your phone and enjoy cm10!

You should install kernel that given on every ROM thread, and not always HELLBOY.
Unlocked bootloader doesn't mean that your phone is S-Offed, it is different.

There is a whole lot more work to get the device s-off. Your kernel is the boot img that I mentioned earlier. I am PrimoC, so I don't have experience with hellboy, but I do have to flash a new kernel with every rom. If you are going from one cm10 to another cm10, you might be safe, but I wouldn't chance it. Unlocking your bootloader allows you to flash kernels. It doesn't give you s-off.
