I had just gotten home and set my phone down on my desk to go to the restroom (yeah probably kinda personal but whatever) and then I came back to my phone and saw it rebooting on its own. I waited to see if it would go back into the phone and it just kept loop booting after the boot splash screen.
I took the battery out, then restarted it, same thing.
I took the battery out again, went into the recovery, wiped everything, wiped dalvik, and wiped cache, and then installed a new revision of the ROM that I use (Synergy 3Dvo r456). It installed fine, rebooted to go into it, and now it STILL just constantly reboots.
Any ideas? I'm trying different ROMs but I have no idea why it would randomly just start doing this. It literally was from a span of just a minute or so, coming back and seeing it do it. No one touched it, nothing. I've been using it all day today without any problems what-so-ever too.
I would wipe everything and start over and flash the rom again. (Different rom) Have you flashed a different kernel for the rom?
And FYI, this belongs in the Q&A section. Be prepared for what is about to come.

I realized after I posted it but I can't move it myself. I can't delete it either.
I have a bookmark to the CDMA Dev section and forgot to go back to the beginning of the EVO 3D section then to the Q & A section.
Anyway, yeah, I've flashed multiple different ROMs. I've flashed the newest revision of what i was using, I flashed the last revision of Synergy before 2.3.4 came out, and I even flashed the sprint stock ROM. I still get constant reboots after the splash screen.
No I haven't flashed anything lately as far kernels.
Thanks for the responses guys, and like I said, if I could delete or move my own post I would've literally right after I posted it
Also, after each different ROM I wiped everything, wiped dalvik, and wiped cache.

If you're still having those issues I would run the ruu and take it back. Just my opinion but it sounds like bigger issues than just roms.
And people make mistakes, hopefully only the mature members will see this before it gets moved. I would pm a mod and ask it to be moved.

This is so weird. I literally have been using it for a week since I last did anything to it (flash different\updated ROM or flash a new radio) and obviously everything was working up till now since then. I put it down on my desk and come back and it's loop rebooting.
Any ideas what it might be so it doesn't happen again? lol
Make sure if you are S-Off that when you run the RUU you also set secure flag 3 in fastboot. Its in the guide, if you dont go back to S-On you will get a Process System Not Responding, this causes more reboots!
Yeah I just flashed the IMG file and it's still loop rebooting.
I'm gonna set the secure flag 3 now as we speak.
Thanks for the replies again guys.
EDIT: just reflashed that stock IMG zip file and then returned it to S-ON and rebooted 2-3 times max (it wasn't the 5 reboot like it does when removing S-ON and reflashing the stock IMG file). Now it's back into the phone and not rebooting anymore...wtf? Should I still try and exchange it? I bought it\upgraded to this phone <30 days ago so there shouldn't be any question of whether I can or not, right?

If it says S-on, you're good to take it in. Even if you were out of your 30 days they should still do it under manufacturers warranty.

Something could have gotten borked when you flashed something, thats why a ruu fixed it. I got mine replaced under warranty like 2 days ago for a reboot issue, phone was bought June and they replaced it with no problem.

It isn't doing it anymore now that it's S-ON, before I returned the security flag to S-ON it was loop rebooting. I'm gonna try and exchange it anyway, that makes me nervous that that happened without me even near it or anything being done to it lol
Lets hope that the sprint techs don't update ur phone thinking it will fix ur concern... They seem to think that an update fixes all issues... Good luck

so i tried to flash the full rooted ruu rom via hboot, i had it sitting on my table with the batt door off and knocked it on the floor ( accident ofcourse ) and the batt came out halfway during the process so now it goes into the htc screen then blank htc screen then blank and i cant get into cwr so my question is can i salvage it or am i f**ked?
Have you tried hbooting to recovery? Volume up and power down when the phone boots up.
cant keep it in cwr long enough to do anything, keeps rebooting and when it does go into cwr it says something like cant mount cache i think

+1. That's exactly what would have worked. I know it's too late for the lad now, but for future users...
If you're ever stuck in a boot-loop and can't hboot into recovery, you'll need to copy and past the PGIMG05.ZIP file onto the root of your SD Card. This will be about a 200-400 meg file and would usually be a stock rooted RUU or stock signature RUU. After it's on the root of your SD, make sure it's the only PGIMG05.zip file on there! Then start the phone by holding down power + volume up. This will force the phone to hboot the PGIMG05 file which will get you past the boot-loop.
For some it's a good idea to have insurance too.
You can get a replacement minus the deductible if you "lose" your phone.
Just make certain you call VZW as soon as you lose it.
I don't suggest selling the phone for parts and saying it's lost, but I'm sure others have done this to cover their deductible.
Those without insurance...I have heard people have had great success with warranty replacement when using over the phone support when the phone doesn't boot or bootloops.
Since you send the phone back to VZW by mail, their replacement standards are much lower than dealing with their retail and face to face support.

I'm new to this, just rooted my thunderbolt the week before last (have rooted a total of 4 phones though since and created my own bootimage with sound and everything! lol!), and that's what came to mind when I read the original post but I didn't "know" for sure. Thanks for confirming it. This stuff is fascinating to me. I like to understand what is going on. I'd like to someday write my own rom.

Putting the stock Rom on took the root off of it but didn't fix my boot loop. So I returned it and got a free thunderbolt.

I believe you could start with os kitchen or another UI for extracting certain parts of a rom. I think in large part its knowing java script.

Hey everyone!
So my rezound has a cracked screen, and I need to take it to verizon. Heres where my problem is.
I used the htc dev tools to unlock the phone and the zerg root rush method to root. I DID NOT install a custom rom. After the screen cracked, i followed nghtmr3's thread on how to UNROOT the rezound. I successfully got it to S-On, but when i attempted to install the stock rom, I could not do it. I tried to install the OTA update, but it came to the common downloading screen, but then an error pops up, and it wont complete the update.
So I tried to flash rom manager, reboot, and run recovery, but i go back to the same download and error screen.
I really just need to get superuser off so i can take it in without worries.
If anyone can help, I would appreciate it, because i have been going at it for days now.
Thanks,
James
p.s. The attached picture is the updating screen. I come to this screen, but about 1/4 the way in, it comes up with a red "!" and sits there untill i battery pull.
p.s.s. I understand that i have already voided the in-house verizon warranty by having a cracked screen. And i do have the asurion insurance, but i dont want to send it to them with SU still installed, as i have heard that they will send it back.
Smash it up more and take it in.... But u will need insurance

Well if you have a cracked screen youve already voided your warranty. So you might as well just call asurion and tell them you have a cracked screen.

Rooting your phone does not automatically void the warranty. It MAY void the warranty. A cracked screen shouldn't be a problem.

Man....i flashed like 5 different ROMs last night. All worked. Today....tried to put the MeanROM ICS on it......wont boot up...stays at the HTC screen. Tried 5 times. Did everything right cause i flashed the others right.
So i said f*** it. Tried to put it back to the ROM i had...Nocturnal Blackend....won't boot anymore. I wiped everything,,,,,factory reset just like i did last night when i installed 5 different ROMs. Right now.....its on MeanRON...i can see the time....and the battery at the top...everything else below is black. What would this mean?
I have HBOOT 1.50 in case it helps. But whats weird is...it was doing fine til i tried the ICS ROM.
By the way..i have S-On.
When i try to to restore with Nandroid....it just stays at the HTC start up window. Im not sure what to do from here. There has to be some small error that you guys may know.

From everything I've read on the forum, ICS and S-on do not play well with many people. Some people have no problem, but most people get bootloops or the phone boots to the HTC screen and that is it. I recommend you get S-off.

Only weird thing is....i had Blackend ROM on it...then went to the ICS ROM..it worked. I was in and all. But the wifi was showing error. So i did what i did last night...extracted the kernel from the MeanROM with Flash Image GUI....after that....HELL. So..it DID work...i guess it had the wrong kernel. BUT the main thing now is....i cant restore nothing....i have 2 backups....they hang at the HTC screen. They didnt hang yesterday when i was installing all kinds of ROMs. So now...i cant get ANYTHING on it. I still feel its a small step thats doing this. Right now...im in MeanROM i guess...i can see the clock...an the bars...im charging it. But nothing below that. So its more like "What can i do to make it come on below the top bar". I installed the Chad kernel...still nothing.
[Edit] Also..the bottom lights comes on..the 4 buttons...and the top bar showing the time a nd signal...everything between..the whole screen is black.

You need to restore to stock GB via the stock ruu or if you're on tmo you can jump straight to ICS by relocking your bootloader and loading the latest zip file via hboot, by placing it on your sd card and renaming it PH85IMG, need more info to provide further help.

yeh, sucks that most people are here for one thing and that is to make their phone "cool" because it's not stock and that their too lazy to learn from what has been written many times over. I refuse to help those who will not help themselves.
Yea, my signature has a link to the amaze Bible, it is up to date and has all the useful information in these forum well organized.. use the google doc, not the wiki - we still need help getting the wiki updated.. but yea, you can even find how to upgrade from Ginger to ice cream, multiple different ways.
Oh, and btw.. s-off isn't just possible, the less wussy people here all have it

I find this to be true as well. When I got my Amaze, I first read everything I could find on how to get it unlocked and rooted. THEN I did it.
Coming from an HD2, I found this device to be a bit harder to get a hold of when doing the unlock and root process. I'm not sure why, but I was confused until I read to the end of a number of threads, and even then I was nervous doing the actual unlock / root.
Totally agree. The hd2 was unique though because it started from absolute scratch. From loading from sd through winmo, then dual boot, then mag...It was built from the ground up and I felt like I was learning everything along with the devs. I felt like I really had a good grasp with that phone but this one made me feel lost again...Felt good when the wire trick worked first try though!

I just haven't felt the need to go S-Off on my Amaze... yet.
I just got my rezound today as a replacement for my tbolt. Everything was fine until I updated the software for ics. The phone just turned off after I pressed ok to install. Now, even after a hard reset, I get stuck at the splash screen. Was gonna run to verizon tomorrow but wanted to exhaust all of my options which would not void the warranty. Thanks!

Well your phone isn't completely bricked if you can get it to the splash screen. Try running the latest ruu or ota and see if that works.

Battery must be more than 30% charged and make sure the file is named PH98IMG.ZIP and not PH98IMG.ZIP.ZIP

Glad I could help! It should work, but if not, re-flash the ota/ruu another time because I've heard of stuff not sticking after flashing an ruu.
