Unlocked bootloader unable to flash kernels with clockworkmod

[flitjes]

Hi guys,
I can't figure this out. Why can't I flash a kernel with clockworkmod when I've unlocked my phone through htcdev.com.
Every time I flash a new rom it boot loops because the right kernel is not present.
When I boot it back in to fastboot and flash the kernel manually it boots..

If I'm correct: with a unlocked phone I should be able to flash kernels with clockworkmod.

Clockworkmod v5.8.4.0

Clockworkmod v5.8.4.0

you need s-off to can flash kernel .... if you phone is s-on you must flash kernel via fastboot

The kernel is flashed, you just need to flash its boot.img in fast boot aswell.

Ah ok, thnx for the explanation

to expand a bit, you flash the modules for the kernel via cwm.

and as mentioned above, you then need to flash the boot.img via fastboot as without s-off this bit can't be done via cwm.

You can thank HTC for that cop out bootloader unlock.

Yeah you have to use fastboot to flash the boot and recovery partitions, an utter pain and pretty much the only time I have to connect my phone to a computer.

A nice step backward for HTC.

Actually some of roms come with kernel flasher which lets u flash kernel without booting into bootloader, just read the instruction carefully.
