is there anyway to flash boot.img without fastboot,, my usb is bricked ,only charges ,no adb or fastboot, has anyone tried HTC DUMLOCK? and does it works on our device? i was trying to use htc dumlock myself but i didn't ,because the dumlock website says ''If you install a new kernel that doesn't work and you can't boot up, then you'll need a computer with fastboot access to fix it.''' which i do not have , so if anyone can try this,, i will be very thankful :fingers-crossed:

You can use the dd command from Terminal to write the boot image to mmcblk0p22.
You must be in root mode (su).
The command is:
dd if=boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22

I am afraid that the recovery uses the same method and it does not work on S-ON devices. But it is a theory, so I welcome someone to prove me wrong :) Actually there is no risk involved.
