Reboot bootloader, select recovery, restore a nandroid, or flash a rom. It wipes the kernel when you change hboot

i dont have a recent nandroid but i do have a kernel on my sdcard could i just flash it?

Just do an advanced restore of the boot partition.

word of advice, always make a nandroid backup before you do anything. When you change hboot you will have to flash a rom or a nandroid restore to get past hboot

[Q] Please Help! Trouble with updating to Jellybean

Hello this is my first post and I come to request some help.
I have a htc one v and was trying to update to jelly bean through steps from Android Authorty's guide
After completing this set of instructions I booted up my phone and sadly all I got was a htc screen with the red writing which then turned black and nothing happened after that.
Im pretty worried right now, I dont have much knowledge about androids and I have but a clue as to what I have just done.
Is it permanently damaged? How do i fix this or atlest restore it to the factory state.
Please help!

as for the OP: make sure you also flash the KERNEL for the respective rom. it is not enough to install only the ROM. You need also the kernel because we currently have S-ON devices.

Ok thanks i actually dont remember doing this step, but is there a way for me to strat over i feel like i have created a huge mess of my phone and i just really want to start new

To start over, u should have the stock kernel. U have restored the stock nandroid then u must flash stock kernel...or it will not boot...
Did u flash the kernel at time of installing JB??

Don't forget to make a backup with CWM or what ever recovery you use.

Hey i just tried to do this and got error while making backup image of /system

OK so i figured out that i am truly a noob.
I was attempting to install the CDMA version when i needed GSM.
Proud of myself for solving this i went to install the gsm version but sadly now i only get the htc screen with red writing.
It dosent change from there.
Have i done permanent damage because i installed the CDMA version!?

now im getting something really weird my phone goes to the htc screen with red writing then shuts off by itself and then turns on again by itself in a endless cycle of this red writing htc screen.

Alright... let's get your phone fixed!
I assume you have:
1. Unlocked bootloader
2. Installed a recovery
3. Installed a custom CDMA ROM
4. Then installed a GSM ROM
5. Now phone keeps rebooting?
Is that correct?

[Q] goomanager

Doe anybody use goomanager to flash rom as it does not require pc to flash the rom. Any successful examples???

Go ahead and use it if you have S-OFF.

Without s off you can't write boot partition and for changing roms that is required. That's just how it is.

Probably didn't need to change the boot.img for that. I bet when you install CM10.1 like that now you end up in a bootloop !

If you're using a sense Rom, the stock boot.img will make it boot though you wouldn't get any of the tweaks.

I know its like TT said, a boot.img can not be flashed from inside the running OS or via an app on the phone .... It must be done in fastboot. Its impossible unless you have s-off.
Like i stated, try another rom completely different and you will see it does not work.

Please try the evita forums.
Here they are.

The solution is to format the sdcard inside the recovery (to make sure its formatted with the right blocksize) and reflash the rom with only a cache and dalvik cache wipe.

If you want to flash a totally new rom you need to full wipe ! Wipe the caches,system, android secure......then install the new rom and flash the boot.img from the new rom with fastboot commands or a toolkit

[Q] Stuck in ClockworkMod Recovery

I reboot my 1X and it goes straight into ClockworkMod recovery, I don't even touch anything excepted Power button. If I try to reboot again, it goes straight into CWM recorvery again. I can adjust anything in CWM but can get out of it . I can turn my 1X off in Bootloader, but if i turn it on, everything is the same...
ROM: ARHD 21.0 with stock kernel
Help!

Flash CWM again and try rebooting it again.. don't forget to 'fastboot erase cache'...
Did you make any changes using terminal emulator or anything of that sort?

Go to CWM>Mounts and storage>Mount USB and copy the rom file there...
Make sure you have hboot 1.31+ if you want to flash a JB rom + have bootloader unlcoked...
Edit: Make sure you have sufficient amount of battery left before you start flashing! Go to CWM and keep it on wall charger for 30 mins... just to be sure!
