Stuck on Bootscreen

---

Hello all! Yesterday I tried to get new rom on my HTC Incredible S. So I unlocked it on the htcdev.com and get a recovery... all works fine since I get new rom, when I installed it and reboot phone it stucks on HTC logo and nothing happens. I tried 3 different roms and the same thing happens... In original recovery it says S-On and maybe thats will be the cause of problem? So what I should do now? Please help me! Thans for answers and sorry for bad english

dude you have to flash the roms boot.img seperatly. because you unlocked htc dev id assume you have adb drivers setup with fastboot.exe and all them files in a folder. for this im gunna pretend your files are in the c drive in a folder called android. before you start make sure you extract the boot.img from the roms zip file and put it in this android folder. open up command prompt and type the following.

cd c:\Android (Hit enter)
fastboot flash boot boot.img (hit enter)

wait for it to finish then reboot phone. rom should boot up fine

you must do this for every new rom until you s off

I'm no expert so can't help you much, but the first thing I would ask is, 'did you flash the boot.img from within the ROM .zip after you installed the ROM'?

I'm HTCDev Unlocked, with S-ON still, and two ROMs I've used recently are ARHD 3.0.0/3.0.1 & Project X. I don't know which ROMs you are trying...

Not all will be compatible, I tried THIS ROM first but it didn't work (and I got what you are describing). See the help I received down this page HERE and on the previous page of that thread, but it proved to be a no-go.

EDIT: Said the same thing as above, got beaten to it while editing my post!

same problem was there for me

u can see a file named boot.img inside the rom zip u downloaded.
open command prompt & navigate into the folder u saved fastboot files & type " fastboot flash boot boot.img "




then reboot phone custom rom will load.

I tried to do what you say, but it don`t works... I plug the phone in normal recovery and tried to use the : fastboot flash boot.img. When I hit enter i see message in cmd: unkown partition 'boot.img' error: cannot determine image filename for boot.img... what now?

You do not do this command from Recovery mode. You need to put the phone in FASTBOOT USB mode. So when you get to the HBOOT menu, choose FASTBOOT from the menu instead of RECOVERY. Then connect the phone to the USB port and type the following command:

fastboot devices

and your phone should respond with the device serial number. If it does, then you are good to go.

YEAH I DID IT!!! Sorry for it... Thanks for help and sorry for problems
