Flashing ROMs with only unlocked BL????

hey guys so i just got my inc 2 a couple days ago and of course it has the newest update and software which prevents me from downgrading to .97. So i decided to go the HTCdev unlocked BL way. Is there anyway i can flash custom ROMs and still have root access without downgrading to hboot.97?
any help is appreciated THANKS!!

sure can, if boot loader is unlocked, look here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1435228

OK here's a problem though. I cant flash the CWM recovery because i need s-off and i cant get s-off because im unable to downgrade with my new system software. Any way to flash custom roms without CWM?

What about the ext4 touchescreen recovery. I am using it and it is nice. Download the app and then it installs the recovery. Not sure if that will help I have s off so this is new to me. But might be worth a shot.

whats your software number?

Now mine is
tsm m 5.01 ext4

the link above tells you how to flash clockworkmod, you flash the img same as a boot.img
ypu don't need s-off to flash cwmr, follow the directions from above

do you know you this is the post your talking about? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26296376&postcount=276

yeah, thats it i think, but i haven't had occasion to use it yet, so i don't know how it works, keep in mind you'll have to relock your bootloader to use it, i think. research it a little before you try

so whats the difference with having s-off compared to s-on?

you won.t have to flash a boot image everytime you install a rom, it also enables you to flash radios. you can't now. but no biggy.

Rooted, CR installed but can't boot.

Hey dudes,
im working on flashing the dhd for various hours.
It is the german version T-Mobile branded.
I had rooted via aahk.
After some problems, i think there is a chance by trying again, also i relooked the bootloader.
In the end it was possible to flash a custom rom.
So I flasht this beautiful: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2113047
But now all my Phone is showing to me is the T-Mobile branded screen. no boot to rom.
So my Phone is:
S-On
Bootloader relocked.
rooted (?)
i can't boot into android and i don't have any idea what is to do.
Maybe installing a stock rom via CWM as .zip oder flashing via ADB.
please give me your help
greetz

You are not S-Off, so either you got rid of it or AAHK didn't work properly. Your phone can't be both S-Off and have an unlocked bootloader. Re-unlock and flash a ROM from recovery.

okay thanks i get it, but it isn't much better
I flashed a custom rom, no result.
only T-Mobile-Screen

Because you are S-On, each time you flash a ROM you need to
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

i need this after flashing a .zip in the recovery?
what boot.img is this and where to get?
how can i bring my phone s-off?
sorry for my questions ;* ^^

Yes, after zip in recovery. It is in the ROM zip. You need to S-Off manually now; there are instructions at AAHK's old site.

Big Thanks, the Rom works.
But the last problem is I don't get a mobile signal.
APN is okay.
I'm in germany aren't some roms working with gsm?
I had reinstalled with full wipe ? no result.
Or should I simply try another rom?
my bootloader show me this message. (added File)
how to fix it?
thanks guys <3

It would be nice if somebody could help
the bootloader is looking for PD98IMG if an sd card is mounted.
I tried a lot of PD98IMG files, but none of this are working.
it's very difficult to get them, because the most of these files are down.
additional i have no idea which is the right file for me and how i can fix this problem.
please help

One X - recover stuck on red triangle, no mobile, no wi-fi

Hi all,
I've tried to install newer InsertCoin ROM, during HBOOT update, the phone booted to his current ROM with no Wi-Fi or Mobile access, recovery stuck with red triangle, Trying to install some custom recovery using fastboot v1.2 - got "writing recovery - failed not allowed" message. What is the fastest way to get phone back to work?

Did you re-unlock the bootloader after updating the hboot?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

Not allowed error is when the bootloader is locked or relocked. Unlock it via the htcdev site and flash a custom rexovery. Then flash the boot img from the new rom, make a FULL wipe in the recovery and install the new rom !

The phone os S-ON , is it ok? Should I flash new image using flashboot or other interface? Thanks In Advance

I'm not talking about S-On ....I'm talking about a locked or relocked bootloader.
Is it unlocked ?
When you succesfully updated your hboot with a firmware flash you MUST unlock the bootloader, flash a new custom recovery, install a new JB rom and flash its boot.img
A custom gets broken when you update the hboot because locking/unlocking will set the phone to factory state. So it will delete the current custom rom.

Also could you, guys, elaborate why my original ROM started to act spooky - no Wi-FI and so on.

Probably because you updated the hboot. You have to start from scratch after that. It gets messed up

I did as you proposed, unlocked bootloader, installed CWM recovery, wiped data, dalvik cache and installed the InsertCoin ROM, the issue - that I got same problems - Wi -Fi displayed error and not started, SIM is not recognized, no network. Could you please advise what to do now?

Flash the boot.img from the insertcoin rom !

did you flash the boot.img and erase fastboot cache?

Inside the insertcoin rom there will be a a boot.img.
you will need to write this in fast boot.
erase cache
flash boot boot.img
erase cache

Firewater doesn't work anymore. HTC patched the exploit.
You'll have to use SunShine S-Off. It costs $25, but is guaranteed to work or you don't pay.
Having S-Off is totally worth $25 IMO.
Here's a link to their website.

Go to this thread. It has a collection of stock backups you can falsh to get back your stock ROM.
It also has a collection of stock recoveries to flash with ADB if you need that.
All the instructions are there.

Firmware is something separate. That link will get you back to stock ROM. Then use Sunshine to s off. After that, you can update your firmware.

The stock recoveries or in that link too. I'm not sure if you need them for sunshine though. Try with custom recovery, if that doesn't work, get a stock recovery.
Or get both ROM and recovery stock, then reflash a custom recovery and ROM.
If you get both to stock, you shouldn't have any issues.

Firmware updates. If you have one fresh out of the box, Firewater would probably still work. And still does for some.

First, I misunderstood your earlier question. Yes the number in front of the backups are for firmware.
To help you more, I'll need some information. Hook up your phone to your computer and start ADB. Then issue these commands:
adb reboot fastboot (wait till your phone boots into fastboot)
fastboot getvar all
Then post what the readout says here, but edit out your serial number (serialno) and IMEI for your own safety.
Then I'll be able to give you a little more guidance.

Your CID is ORANG202 and your firmware is 1.54.73.5, so you will need the backup that corresponds with that.
The backup available was made with TWRP recovery. So you'll need that. (In my opinion, TWRP is a better recovery, less issues)
You could go to their website to download it and get instructions on how to flash it, but there is a much easier way.
Go to the Play Store and install an app called TWRP Manager. Hit the three line menu thingy on the top left, and pick "Install TWRP".
After that go back to the stock backup thread and flash the backup that matches your CID and firmware.

My friend has made a comprehensive guide on firmware and firmware flashing, complete with downloads. Make sure to read the whole opening post so you understand everything. It looks like it might be hard because of his full explanation of the whole process, but it's actually very easy. And very informative.

Look up what firmware is, it should be easy to find answer.
RUU is firmware + ROM.
ROM Upgrade Utility
If you are on custom ROM, this saves a step. Also when new OTA hits you can flash firmware and stay on your ROM of choice.
