Weird. I ran magnusragnaroks End of Days rom briefly, and it had an app that i swear had the same name. I didnt use it (a bit intimidated by it, honestly, cuz i didnt know anything about it)

I think i have it in Ti backup. If i can figure out how to pull it and upload it from there, i will for fun.

Edit: or will pull from his rom when off work.

Thanks though.

Released version 1.1.7 (app updated in OP links and market) which supports flashing of Netarchy's kernels!

Netarchy's kernels available here - http://goo.gl/GqjCi

As more kernels are released I will make sure the app supports them. Kernel flashing is marked experimental right now and I've only seen Netarchy's kernel released so far.

Thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] rstuckmaier:
flashed netarchy's Silverneedle kernel just fine. After the flash it gave me the "will be unstable until reboot" message so I hit reboot and nothing happened. Granted I rebooted manually after waiting a bit.
[HTC EVO 3D] Febby:
Amazing application! Should be posted or mentioned as a suggestion in the recovery threads :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Success100:
so basically this will let me flash nets kernels and different roms without having to achieve s-off and root first? Sorry for the dumb question but I just came back from the galaxy s world. so im trying to get back into the swing of HTC modding
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
appreciate all the feedback!

HTC locks down the internal memory on the phone which prohibits any writes being made to it. EVO 3D must be s-off before any writes can be made to the internal memory including both the the boot, system and recovery partitions.

After the EVO 3D is s-off, my app allows you to flash the boot and recovery partitions w/o rebooting into recovery mode. Saving some time and effort.

Hopefully that makes sense.
[HTC EVO 3D] Success100:
cool beans. thanks as always joey..glad to see u on the 3d scene

Released updated version 1.2.0

Added a detailed progress bar when flashing anykernel style kernels (Netarchy Silverneedle v1.0+ and RCMIX). Will show each step of the process in detail.

Also updated screenshots in OP.

No only Kernels and Radios can be flashed with Flash Image GUI app as far as i know. Would be great to be able to flash different components with just 1 app.
[HTC EVO 3D] roy8846:
No this allows flashing of Kernels AND Recoveries , just not sure if Recoveries can be flashed with S-ON ;)

It even has links to the recoveries in the first post :)

"Full Kernel (Anykernel and boot.img) Flashing and Recovery (zip file or image) flashing: HTC EVO 3D CDMA and GSM, HTC EVO, HTC EVO Shift, Nexus S/Nexus S 4G & LG Optimus

"
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
Yes, recovery images can be flashed into the recovery partition with S-On.

There are two main drawbacks to S-On.

1) Kernels can't be flashed from the standard recovery mode. BUT, they can be flashed from fastboot mode or from normal android mode. FIG works in normal android mode making it easy/simple to flash kernels and the kernel portion of ROMs.

2) I've read S-On does not allow the radio.img to be flashed. I haven't researched this too much as there has been no updated radio.img released yet for the EVO 3D. I'm sure once an updated radio.img comes around, we'll figure this out too!

Thanks for the support and feedback!
[HTC EVO 3D] ninten5:
So I downloaded these roms straight to my phone put them in the root of the SD card. Went into flash image GUI selected the zip for from clicked flash image and warning message came saying "reboot or android will be unstable" I hit reboot. It reboots to the splash screen like miui.us logo showed up but it never proceeds from there. Same with HD titan it rom on the beats logo screen.

But alpha ice 4.0 from actually starts up and then when you try and sign in to ur Google acct. All these red lines show up on the corners of the screen and its very unstable to respond to touch inputs.

Retrospectively, I flashed using adb fast boot from my computer they all booted flawlessly. I'm using miui from for a week now. No issues.

Freeza has a kernel that is based 2.17 with a link to this page to flash kernel. When I use your app to flash it, I choose zip and a error comes up " no zIMAGE or .img found. I tried 3 of his kernels all saying same error. Is there a fix or kernel just not yet supported?

I am hboot 1.50 with HTC unlock and OTA 2.17 with EVOZone 2.17 rom. And TWRP.

Loaded freEVO 3D-StockKernel 2.17.651.5.zip with no issues. boot.img was found.

Off the top of my head, might want to verify the file downloaded and copied to your device probably. The checks are there for a reason and should all be functioning properly.

Perhaps also check to see if Flash Image GUI is updated. Sometimes the people who grab the free version don't update as Google doesn't provide them Market reminders.

Thanks Josh,

That's the one that brought it to my attention to try & it worked on my phone where other versions didn't (see signature).

I think it would be a good idea to post a video version of loading it up & booting via fastboot commands for those who are unlocked but not yet rooted (no Su installed yet) .

I installed this app and now nothing works..sms..daata...i can just receive calls. what can i do to fix the problem , i tried changing the rom and nothing. the same happens
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
First and foremost, I would like to direct everybody to the last section in my OP which clearly details every step to take in the process of loading ROMs and kernels using Flash Image GUI on HTC officially unlocked device. Also including simple troubleshooting steps to help everybody start the process of recoving from mistakes.

Second, I'm going to attempt to interpret the reported issue:

Not really clear on what is happening here. The reported issues seems to state installation of the application results in SMS and data loss of service.

If you think the installation of this application interferes with SMS and data, please remove the application. If your data and SMS start to work, the issue will be resolved.

I will also very surprised as there is nothing coded into this app to have anything to do with cell phone signal/service. Have a hard time seeing how Android would allow a 3rd party application with such narrow coded focus to have any interaction with SMS or data, especially without requesting access to those permissions.

If you switched the ROM, the new ROM would more than likely not come with Flash Image GUI installed and that scenario should also rule out installation of this application causing any interface with SMS or data.

Third, my personal view point is from the sounds of the situation described, assuming all fault lies with the device and not with the carrier signal/service, you've loaded an incompatible ROM and/or kernel combination.

The more detailed the information you're able to provide the better everybody will be at providing troubleshooting feedback and guidance.

Some helpful pieces of information will be:

1) What carrier are you using?

2) Which type of EVO 3D, GSM or CDMA?

3) Which version of the bootloader is loaded?

4) Which ROM .zip file was loaded? Link?

5) Which kernel .zip file was loaded? Link?

6) How were the files loaded?

Appreciate the feedback and support!
[HTC EVO 3D] magicalan:

6) How were the files loaded?

how i saw it on the youtube video on the OP

Appreciate the feedback and support!
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
This application is only a tool which loads the kernel from inside of a ROM .zip. The actual loading of the ROM files, including SMS and data related services are all performed by the custom recovery.

I will verify the only task this application performs, loading of the kernel from a ROM .zip, was done correctly based on the exact ROM .zip file link you provide. Can you provide a link to the exact .zip file you loaded through this application?

Otherwise, all issues with a ROM, will best be directed to the dedicated ROM thread and developer.

This application works across many phones and loads many different kernels from many different independment kernel .zip files and ROM .zip files.

Issues experienced while running those ROMs need to be addressed to the ROM thread and ROM developer.

[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
Flash Image GUI is only concerned with the kernel and the modules. Both are setup properly in this .zip file.

If you're concerned a bad flash occured, reflash both the kernel/modules and ROM .zip following the directions outlined at the end of the OP for HTC officially unlocked users loading a ROM .zip.

After reflashing and still experiencing the issue, the next step is to work with the MIUI ROM developers on checking logs of why your SMS and data are not operating properly with their ROM.

Appreciate the support! Good luck!

I noticed that in the OP, under "background", it states that this app will flash boot logos. Is that the screen that's bright white with HTC on it. If it will change that screen, how do I do it. I read the first 10 pages and the past 4 and haven't found an answer. Thanks.

hboot 1.5/s-off
[HTC EVO 3D] mpgrimm2:
I've used it to flash Boot Logos (the static boot screen, not the animation) on my Samsung Transform, and can tell you to be Absolutely Careful.

On the Tranform, If you flash one that the file size is too big, it would BRICK THE PHONE. You also had to make sure what you flash is the correct resolution for the phone. Basically, I would download the correct boot logo file to the sdcard, select it with flashimage, flash it and reboot.

My Evo3d Has Hboot 1.50/S-ON, so I can't flash the boot logo by any method. FlashImage doesn't even display the option on my 3D to flash one anyway (maybe it knows! ).
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
Definitely. Need a tester to help verify everything works and I can add official support.

If you're able to spend some time, prob 45-60 min or know somebody with the device who is able to and has knowledge of ADB/nandroid, I'd be more than glad to add support! Send me a PM. Thanks!

I have updated the OP to help clarify. On devices which allow flashing of the boot logo, this application supports them. Devices which don't allow flashing of the boot logo from normal Android mode, there isn't anyway I've seen yet to support this.

The EVO 3D is a device where I haven't seen any method of flashing them yet. If you've seen anything, let me know. Otherwise, the most recent method I've seen was to flash them via a PG86IMG.zip file.

Hope that helps and appreciate the support!

[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
Short answer: Not currently

Longer answer: I'm not aware of anyway to access the partition where the radio is stored from the normal android boot mode. In fact, I think the only method on the device to flash the radio always relies on the bootloader.

Hey joeykrim, do you plan on supporting the SGS3? I know you update your app a lot and you have supported MANY new devices since the Transform days... Just curious, that's all! :)
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
There are two main ways I'm able to thoroughly test and add support for a device.

1) I buy the device, which I have a small limited budget for and am not able to do this as often as I want

2) One or two knowledgeable and reliable testers able to spend 1-5 hours (depending on complexity of the device) going through all the motions

For the SGS3, I haven't had either one of these come through yet! If you or anybody you know are able to help test, let me know. Thanks!

I emailed joey to see if his app flash these custom kernels correctly still waiting for him to email me back....as far as I know only stock kernels flash well with his app I could be wrong but I forgot who told me that his app doesnt install these kernels like its supposed to.....
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
If a kernel or ROM is flashed with an Aroma script, it depends on how it is scripted and whether there is more than one kernel in the ROM zip file. Here's what one kernel developer had to say about it:

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] black2rob:
Well I flashed a kernel with flash image GUI using to roms that have aroma installer and it worked perfect.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
My post didn't say that Flash Image GUI cannot flash a kernel from a ROM or kernel zip using Aroma. I've done that myself.

If you read it again, it said that it won't be able to flash properly if the developer has included multiple kernels in a ROM zip, or has features like the command line parameters being handled by Aroma.

Flash Image GUI will detect the multiple kernel scenario and fail. But the command line parameters scenario will provide no indication that your flash is incomplete and the kernel will have problems.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] black2rob:
I know you didn't say that, I'm just posting saying that it worked for me that's all....I didnt mean no disrespect bro.....smile its all good....:D
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
No problem.

I just want users to be aware that there can be problems flashing kernels with Flash Image GUI (FIG) whether there are error messages or not. It's always best to ask the ROM or kernel developer if it's OK to use FIG to flash the kernel from their zip file, and if they say no or they don't know I wouldn't recommend it.

The better solution is to get radio S-OFF and then you can flash the boot partition (kernel) from recovery and don't have to worry about fastboot, 4EXT SmartFlash or FIG.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] black2rob:
Yeah I agree with you...FIG has helped me a lot. But getting s-off is the way to go...
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
Can you provide a link to the kernel .zip file you're using as well as any error message you received or how you determined it was "not a good kernel"?

having more than one kernel in a .zip file is going to be a bit of a headache because the developer could be using some custom program, aroma script, or the generic updater-script, to code out how to determine which kernel to use. sometimes this coding can be very device specific and or could be more general. essentially, there are many variables involved here that usually require a lot of specific coding thus creating a bit of a headache in how to properly modular support for all devices, while coding up a specific device implementation.

now the command line parameters are very short and generally not a big deal, although depends on what type of edits are being made. since no technical details have been provided, could you provide a link to the kernel .zip? i can research the commands and process to determine what the kernel developer is attempting to accomplish. generally, there are a few ways to accomplish the same end goal, but never know until i see the code!

thanks for all the feedback and support. the more technical the details are that are shared, the more helpful the feedback is!

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] HTCLittleMonster:
Thank you for directing me here from your other thread, first of all.

So, am I right in saying that simply by extracting the one relevant zImage file, it won't be able to flash the kernel?

Sorry, kernel's have never been a strong point for me, especially not with the whole S-ON thing. Haven't really tried kernels since the Wildfire.

Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
Unfortunately, HTC blocks write access to the boot partition while in Android mode on the HTC One V. Without write access, Flash Image GUI does not work.

Yea, the zImage type of kernel file for the EVO 3D is following the anykernel standard which dumps the boot partition, splits out the ramdisk and kernel, appends the new kernel to the existing ramdisk, and then flashes that image.

EVO 3D handles this process very well and I spent a lot of time coding this out to handle many common exceptions. The issue remains the same with a zip file that contains multiple kernels and in this case, multiple modules.

If you want to modify the zip file to match the standard, remove the other directories for modules and kernels not needed. Also, relocate the modules directory to /system/lib/modules inside the zip file. These changes should match the more common zip file setup and Flash Image GUI should be able to handle.

Appreciate the interest and feedback! Let us know how it works out!
