(Disclaimer)

I ONLY PUT THIS HERE TO HELP THOSE THAT CANT BOOT ICS ROMS ON HBOOT 1.5 S-ON and can't get the normal kernels to boot! I am not trying to troll the 3vo threads, or clog them up, and I think this relates to development in some shape form or fashion. Otherwise, I would have stuck it in the general Section!

------------------------------------------------

Okay, now what is this thread exactly?

-Ever run into one of these problems after flashing the beautiful Sense 3.6/4.0 Roms if you are S-ON?

1. Stuck at HTC splash screen

2. Get the rom to boot, but when it boots, the lockscreen/status bar/both show up, but disappear almost instantly and the phone reboots constantly

3. Get the infamous bootloop we all dread, its like the cross between problem 1 and 2.

Well here is the fix for that. Here is what you do:

Option A (EXT4 Touch Recovery Method):

-Flash Ext4 Touch Recovery (Latest Test/RC/Stable build) with SmartFlash (Lets you flash boot images in recovery, YAAAY!!)

-Flash your Rom via recovery

-Flash AnthraX-htcleak-stockfirmwaretest.zip while still in recovery (See 2nd post)

-wipe cache/dalvik

-reboot

(Note: When you come out of 4ext Recovery after flashing a kernel for the first time, the phone will boot to the splash screen, hang for a moment, turn off, turn BACK on, and boot normally. This will happen EVERY time and don't freak out).

Option B (Flash Image GUI Method):

Prerequisite: You CANNOT have 4EXT Recovery installed for this, the non-smartflash enabled builds will hang when trying to flash the boot.img (yes every time, I am a first hand witness to this), and Smartflash enabled versions will override your F.I. GUI flashed kernel

-Download ROM

-Put ROM on SD card

-Download Flash Image GUI (Best $0.99 I ever spent, he has free builds but these sometimes cause problems, just pay the $0.99, it wont kill you I promise)

-Flash AnthraX-htcleak-stockfirmwaretest.zip via F.I. GUI

-Reboot into Recovery

-Flash your ROM

-wipe cache/dalvik just to be safe

Option C (fastboot method - Oldschool but whatevs):

-Turn off your phone

-Hold volume down and power button together

-boot into the bootloader

-highlight fastboot and select it w/ the power button

-Plug in your phone into your PC

(Note: at this point there should be a place on the screen that reads "fastboot usb"

-Open up command prompt and fastboot boot cwm.img

PAUSE:

1. For WinXP - click the start button, hit run, type "cmd" w/o quotes, navigate to the directory with fastboot and type "fastboot boot cwm.img" w/o quotes

2. For Vista/Win7 - While holding down shift, right click the folder with fastboot and select "open command window here", and boot cwm.img with same command as WinXP

3. For Mac - open command prompt (not a MAC owner sooo yeah), navigate to directory with fastboot and type "./fastboot-mac boot cwm.img"

4. For Ubuntu - open command prompt (I have Ubuntu dual booted), navigate to the directory with fastboot and type "sudo ./fastboot boot cwm.img" (sudo is like our SuperUser, so when you type this you will be prompted for your user password, no biggie)

-wipe cach and dalvik (to wipe dalvik navigate to advanced settings and wipe dalvik there)

-Flash your ROM FIRST

-Flash AnthraX-htcleak-stockfirmwaretest.zip

-wipe cache/dalvik again

-reboot

I have confirmed functionality on every method above BUT results may vary, dont flame me or cuss me out if something screws up. You accept full responsibility for this when doing this stuff and I nor any devs involved are held accountable. In the android world, everyone is their own crash dummy! A package containing fastboot and all files needed is attached at the bottom of this post. Also, check the second post for a link to all Roms with ICS (ICSense, AOSP, AOKP) so that you can test with your favorite Rom.
