You have to flash the boot.IMG separate after you flash the ROM if your only htcdev unlocked . check around there's numerous threads on this topic

I have been seeing posts saying that it is still S-ON after unlocked with HTCDev, is that true? And does the version of HBoot maters?
If it is still S-ON, may I ask, can I
Root the device
Flash recovery
Flash kernel
overclock
and Flash ROM
with S-ON?
I really want to help with my friend's Buzz.
#1 yes it does leave S-on but you are allowed to root your phone and from there you can install clockwork rom managar and flash clockwork recover and then you can install roms etc.
#2 Yes you will need to change the hboot, but they will prvide it in the instructions as the wildfire has an asterik for hboot upgrade via ruu.
Acording to heaps of people are using HTC Supertools to get root. Although i have a Desire HD, when i have used this i have not got root, but thats just seems to be me
It should work fine if done correctly.
Hope this helps.

As far as i know, the only thing you can't flash is the radio. I am not sure about kernel though.

Have you tried to get into recovery through the bootloader? (Press volume down + power).

i wouldnt mess with the kernal if you dont know what u are doing.
have you flashed a custom ROM or Recovery?
See ,I tried flashing clockwork mod recovery from Rom manager and rebooted into bootloader to go to recovery ,but I get the error ,and according to my friend ,you cannot flash Rom without any recovery.
The problem with my phone is I cannot boot into recovery

You can't get into recovery when flashed it from rom manager by the bootloader option. You have to reboot into recovery from rom manager after flashing it from there cause it's not permanent.
I tried doing that too ,but it has the same result.
is there any way I can put cm7 without flashing into recovery ?
Or can I delete the recovery and put it again ?
My friend told me that if you have the image file of the Rom (which can be backed up from another wildfire having cm7), you can boot into that image and install cm7 .
can this happen ?

You need to install cwm first, Rom manager just gives you a temporary downgrade to flash some older zips which use a different script to newer ones.
I believe you can use fastboot to install it, guide here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=
If you follow this guide that will get you cwm 4.x.x and allow you to flash cm7 from recovery, the latest version of cwm is 5.0.2.0 however and the img is knocking about in various places on this forum.

okay ,now this i my bad .
I tried rooting through a site which was meant for the wildfire s .
so i erased the recovery and put clockworkmod recovery .
After 5 tries , i finally got into the recovery and installed CM7 in minutes
Thanks to all of you for help
Heh nice to hear you made it

Can i apply root using root.zip on stock recovery?
No you have to flash custom recovery to flash root.zip
If you are s-off or bootloader unlocked you can flash recovery via fastboot.
Later if you want to flash stock recovery,just extract it from any generic ruu and flash via fastboot.
was hoping that i can cause i tried almost all method here in installing custom recovery yet everyone of them gets stuck in black screen whith glowing button thanks for the help anyway

yeah sounds lik my friend's problem.got same because s-on.but can install another ruu by this method but dont sure it ll work or not because i tried but e:\ error.
Have u tried flashing from Hboot ??
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S using Tapatalk 2
directly installing a custom recovery & rooting might be possible in most other phones, but u gotta unlock the bootloader on the WFS. U can either switch S-OFF or unlock the bootloader by going to the HTCDEV site & follow the steps there..
hope that helps

be sure you have unlocked your bootloader.
I have cwm recovery on my phone with just s off not unlocked bootloader so I imagine its possible. And make sure you use the r8ght one for your phone like cdma or gsm.

Download root checker from Google play and check. If u can boot into recovery, u can flash ROMs if ur unlocked via HTCdev. And remember: Always flash boot.img extracted from the .zip file of the ROM before flashing or before first boot, otherwise u will get bootloop/stuck on splashscreen.

BTW, trust me on this as i ve tried 8 roms in past 5 days. charmeleon wins over leedroid. there are more tweaks and better battery life in charmeleon by a long run. ALSO, match any rom with faux, instant 3+ hour screen through a whole day moderate usage. BE SURE TO UNDERVOLT～ happy flashing, and may the bricks stay away from you.

Hi,
I have a HTC Desire HD that i have inherited from a guy at work ...and i need a little help ...after speaking to him he was trying install CM on this and tried to do it without rooting it first !
Basically he flashed the boot.img using fastboot and now it doesn't boot up at all ...surprisingly.
I wondered if anyone can help me with this it boots to recovery but doesn't have root access so i can't install another ROM ...what i figure i need is the stock boot.img so i can reflash this using fastboot to the device then i should at least be able to boot this up. But i can't seem to find this.
Can anyone help..?
Thanks
Rick

This shoud belong in the general section, but...
Just plug your phone into your computer and run a coresponding RUU from windows.

Or copy ruu to sd and go to hboot menu, (power on & vol-)

Is the bootloader unlocked? if not is impossible even to try to flash a custom rom. Get a RUU for your phone and revert to a working phone. Then if you want just root it and then flash any rom you want. Follow this guide:

If you need further help, just let me know. :good:
Hi!
I just HTCdev unlocked the bootloader and rooted the HTC Desire HD and everything was fine. I was in the stock ROM rooted, so I flashed the recovery and then I tried to install some ROMs and everything failed, I was stucked in the HTC loading screen...
I tried to flash several ROMs but the result was always the same: stuck in the loading screen. I did a full wipe everytime of course, but it didn´t solve anything.
At the end I tried to flash this:
[ROM][DEC 8] Official RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1 STOCK ROOTED
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382235
And it worked!
But if I tried to flash another ROM like SlimBean but again, stucked...
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!
This rom is old school. U need an old recovery..what rom are u interested in...cm.. or sense?

I actually realised that I was in S-ON so I had to flash the boot.img separately. It worked then!
Thanks!

How exactly did you falsh the boot.img
I've been struggling with this all day.
just extract the boot.img and then flash it:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
