So heres the story:
When I was rooting my Amaze using xboarder's Guide, I got a "Status 0" error, then rooted it using the Easy Perm Root One Click, got some mistakes in the cmd, and rerooted it but this time the guide was working flawlessly.
So yesterday the same thing happened to my girl's Amaze, but on my way to rerooting it, i did a sloppy mistake and applied the unlock_code.bin for my phone instead of her. The phone froze for a few seconds, then a "Security Warning" message showed up under ***Relocked*** and restarted back to hboot by itself. By then I already had realized what ive done and changed the cmd directory to her bin, unlocked the bootloader, installed Clockwork and rooted it. The problem is that since then, everytime I try to flash QuickSense or relock and unroot, her phone begins bootlooping even though ph85img.zip seems to flash correctly (i think there were some errors while flashing QuickSense). Also, before i screwed up, i nandroid backed up her rom but then couldnt restore it, shows that android_secure.img is missing and bootloops too.
The only rom which works flawlessly right now on her phone is mike1986's Revolution.
Does anyone know what may be broken and a way to fix it. Thanks in advance!
relock then do the whole unlock over again

I tried this a couple of times, with 531.5 and 531.6 RUUs, its a no go... I just saw your kernel flashing guide, should i try that?
I relocked/unlocked the phone 2 more times, the official RUUs and xboarder ROMs keep bootlooping, cannot do proper nandroid backup, but Revolution HD works fine. Any idea why is that, and how I can restore phone's normal settings, so it works with all roms? I really need some help here.
That just seems....weird.
There has to be something in that rom that is allowing interface, and that something is not allowing it elsewhere. (Kernal/etc.)?

So like most users, I was very excited to hear about the ICS leak by Football since I've been waiting MONTHS for some sort of development on that.
Getting impatient on waiting for CM9 and Evervolv builds for the Amaze, I really wanted to try this new leak for T-Mobile. So I figured that in order to do that, I must get S-Off.
It seemed like a tedious process so I've been holding it off for a while. Now that I've got a copper wire and everything, I wanted to do the deed once and for all.
So I accidentally flashed a stock rom (which I thought was a good thing since the instructions said I needed a stock rom), but I seem to have lost root access. Superuser runs, but battery calibration says I need to have root first and Titanium Backup doesn't work. However, my phone still says unlocked and I can still run ClockworkMod Recovery. The S-Off program tells me that there's an error. Is there anyone that can help?

Well you are on T-mobile so you have two choices here. you can S-off if you want to have total freedom or you can revert your phone to stock and relock your bootloader and flash it and then re-unlock again. but remember flashign this without s-off may prevent you from getting s-off later on.

Well, I can't flash the PH85IMG without S-Off, right? Because on the HBoot screen, it would load the file but i wouldn't be asked if I wanted to install it. So I had no idea what to do. I thought I had to have S-Off to install it. Does this really mean I've lost root even though my phone says unlocked and I can run Clockworkmod?

you can if you lock your boot loader and revert the phone to stock.

Pretty sure you just use fastboot to lock, open a command prompt with your phone attached in debugging mode, type in fastboot oem lock, then install the stock rom listed in the development section. (If I am wrong on this, someone please feel free to correct me.)
I have the Wind Amaze 4G
I tried to get S-off today and being unsuccessful I ended up at the screen where it shows the 3 arrows (2 in a circle and 1 pointing at the phone). I am assuming my stock rom got corrupted.
I can still get into fastboot and recovery (have CWM installed). Bootloader is unlocked (I can still lock/unlock it). I can get into CWM with the bootloader unlocked.
What I want to do is to revert back to stock and found a Wind/Globalive rom, but it's in an exe file. I ran it, but got back an error saying bootloader version incorrect.
I can't find any stock Wind zips...according to juopunutbear's instructions I need the stock rom...
Any help would be appreciated.
Wind's RUU is on the first link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1570807
I have that, but when I used it (with bootloader relocked), it spits out an error saying Bootloader version error and exits
Then why don't you just keep trying to get s-off, some people said they had tried for hours before they succeeded. And btw, how far you get before s-off install fails?
At the wire trick when it restarted and said failed.
I tried to complete s-off and where it says to do the wire trick, no matter what I did it just kept repeating "Do the wire trick now!".
Right now I'm downloading a custom rom (Energy 3.10) and see if I can flash it on with CWM then try to revert back to stock using that Wind/Globalive exe file and go from there.
I guess while I am waiting on the download I'll keep going with the s-off.
If it works, then I'm flashing the ICS update onto the phone directly and be done with it.
What I don't understand is why I can't revert back to stock in the mean time.
Did you see this video?
Edit: May be something's wrong with the RUU. Actually, there was a flame war recently because someone had posted a broken RUU for T-Mobile, but no one mentioned anything about the Wind one, so I assume its working fine... Go to xboarder56's website an ask him, he was the one who was providing the RUUs for the community
First I'd like to thank you for helping. I really appreciate it.
Now I am attempting the s-off again, got a bit further except after the wire trick it says cannot find device.
As for xboarders site, I can't seem to find it...
No problem, I'll pm you x's site, dont think Im allowed to paste it here, its a long story...
so after several tries I managed to get s-off, I guess my timing was just off the first time and the time where it looked like it looped was me not making proper contact with the wire.
Few other unsuccessful attempts were poor timing, got it right finally after like 6 tries.
Got ICS loaded and s-off!!!!
Now to unlock and re-root then debloat this rom!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!!
Im glad it worked out, man, cheers
P.s. Also, you dont need to unlock the bootloader, the best way to install ICS is the one described here, thats how I did it, got ENG hboot, and worked like a charm...
So, one of my phones is fine, the other one bricked hard.
Plugging it in to mount to the pc yields a prompt to format it in order to use it.
It seemed to have loaded JB (and MeanBean) when it would not boot.
The bootloader now says Tampered and Relocked.
And the old ICS RUU of course does not work, since JB is partially (unsuccessfully loaded.
Any ideas?!?
Thanks.
Well if you can turn the device on and get into bootloader you are not bricked just in a bad situation

OK I have been here.
Here is what you do:
1) Unlock your phone again using the HTC Devunlock method.
2) Reload TWRP
3) Load the stock ICS Kernel via fastboot (its the boot image file in the main zip).
4) Relock
5) Flash the stock RUU
Treat as stock phone and do what you need/want with it.
The thing that is causing problems is that likely the phone is relocked but the wrong boot.img is loaded. It will then fail checksums etc. causing all sorts of issues. In my case I wanted to load a rom for getting S-Off so I loaded the one mentioned in the old LazyPanda thread instead of the stock RUU. So I did the above and it worked just fine.

Are you able to go to recovery from bootloader ?
Sent from my lair.
I have been off-line for a while, but looks like I figured it out.
Reunlocked, insatlled TWRP again, flashed MeanBean (I had already installed the JB kernel) and now it works.
I think the issue was not using the latest TWRP and/or mixing up the JB MeanBean with the ICS MeanRom.
It was not my finest, hour (took all day to sort this out), and thanks for the suggestions!
I am stuck in bootloader and not sure how much longer my battery will last like this.
I downloaded the drivers, the RUU, framework 4.1... all kinds of things. the last thing i tried, [ROOT] RegawMOD EVO 4G LTE Rooter | Updated 09.07.12, says that my phone is not a Sprint 4G EVO LTE.
can someone be more help other then just say run the HTC dev unlock. I rooted my phone day one and can't remember the exact way I did it. Can I reroot from bootloader? I have Android Sdk tools and could push files with adb and the proper help.

I'M BACK!!! took me forever but this site helped me. Looks like somehow I lost my Nand backups but at least I have a phone.
This is not even a soft brick, just restore your nandroid and you should be fine.
Hey, So i have a problem, I tried rooting my phone, and i guess i messed up somewhere, I lost my OS, and didn't create a backup because i'm stupid and didn't realize this could happen. I found a thread, relating to a similar problem, but a different phone so i relocked the phone with Hasoon's tool. Now i cannot find a proper RUU For my phone. I have an HTC One X+, Radio is 2.14.55.11, And the stock image is 1.20.661.1 or something. All i want now, is to return to stock. I've tried the RUU's from androidfiles . org/ruu/?developer=EvitaRE But no luck. It has some sort of error nearing the end. At the moment i can't find the error, as my phone is under %30, So after it reaches about 70, i'll try again and post the error. I'm getting pretty scared, as i'm new to this, and i don't want to lose my phone. Any help would be appreciated.
I don't really know what else to post, besides the radio, stock image file thing, and that it's the north american phone i guess, EvitaRE. The HBOOT is 1.40.0000 and it's stuck at the loading screen, 'HTC Quietly Brilliant'
Factory Reset's do not work, and push me back into the loading screen. It's in infinite boot, i guess, where i power the phone down and it just boots up again without me doing anything.
I dont know where i went wrong during the rooting process, as when Hasoon did it in his video tutorial, It worked out perfectly. but for me not so well, After flashing and unlocking bootloader etc, i clicked perm root, and i couldn't find the SuperUS or something, so i went to power the phone down into bootloader and it said i had no OS. I don't know what i did, and all i hope is that my phone can be somewhat revived so i can use it.
Thank you for reading, and any helpful information would be just appreciated.

EDIT: Extremely sorry, but i have found other posts about this, but i can't seem to understand the fix, so if possible, please dumb it down for me! I'm extremely sorry for even attempting the rooting in the first place :S

Thank you, will try when I get home. Is there any roms you might recommend?
EDIT: Thank you, extremely. I honestly thought my phone was done for, after someone told me if ruu's didn't work i was screwed, guess i was talking to the wrong people. Thank you very, very much! After Sideloading, my phone booted up with venomXl rom, and works perfectly!
You are welcome.

I think you are not flashing the kernel.
Also - after flashing kernel, wipe cache and dalvik...
Hi everyone. It is currently 3:30am my time when Im writing this message. I was rooted, had TWRP and S-On and I installed a stock rooted rom. When it finally flashed (after a couple attempts) the phone told me that a password was required to decrypt the device. I never put one on there. So I went back to TWRP to restore my backup, but of course I am locked out of all the memory in the phone. I was than at a standstill. I thought that i would try and do RUU. Part of the procedure as most of you probably know is to re lock your boot loader and have s-off. Well I re-locked it but than found out that no one has figured out how to s-off hboot 1.57. So i thought that i would unlock the boot-loader again and try some other things with the recovery. Well I used WinDroids tool kit and it seemed like i unlocked the bootloader...at first. The pop up message giving me the warning about unlocked bootloaders poped up. Of course i selected agree. But i was still left with a Relocked bootloader. Keep in mind, it still deleted everything. Including the recovery. So now i have no way of putting a recovery on the device. I tried manual fastboot commands and they didn't work (but im not sure if im doing that right anyway). So now I am at a lost. Any help would be amazing. I just bought this phone and It would be very sad to have a paperweight on the first day. lol
I had the same (almost) issue with my HTC one.
I followed the instructions on WonderHowTo website. I am unable to post a link here, but you can get to it by googling "pushing twrp htc one". It should be the third link on the search page with the title, "How to Fix a Soft-Bricked HTC One by Flashing a New ROM". I completed step 4 and restarted and it worked. It might be different for you.
Also, I tried multiple roms and none of them seemed to work EXCEPT Android Revolution HD 31.6 by mike1986 . (This was the only rom that seemed to work. I tried multiple other ones but I just got stuck into bootloop. I am assuming it was because this one is Android 4.3 )
It seems to be working now but I am stucked with an older version of Android and I am not liking it
Good Luck and Try it at your own risk.
