beastmod and quiksense have stock kernels.
If I go to those and then revert back to rooted stock through cwm will it put back my original kernal. Yes right?

the only custom kernel we have for the amaze is faux's kernel. all the rest are stock kernels.
Ok cool. Thanks.

Doing a restore of one of my backups through cwm will restore the kernal too?

Only if your phone was shipped with S-OFF.
So... probably not.
Before I unlocked and rooted, I did an OTA to 1.3, has no Idea at the time. I then unlocked and rooted and was basically on everything stock, with just a different launcher and widgets. Then I flashed Faux's kernel and worked fine. I tried to go back to stock kernel, boot.img as provided by xboarder, bluetooth and wifi stopped working and phone became unstable. I cannot downgrade to any older rom either, when I relock, it gives me a security warning and gets stuck starting in fastboot everytime. As you know I tried scratched my phone screen and am trying to get a replacement. Went to the t-mobile store to exchange and they told me I needed to go back to stock and relock the bootloader which is impossible at this point. I guess I'm stuck at this point with the kernel and this rom.
I am having trouble making the proper clock speed stick with faux's kernel and fauxclock app. I want a clock speed of about 1.5 and prefer not to undervolt too much. Everything sticks except the clock speed, am I doing something wrong. in fauxclock I did click on the button "set on boot" and still nothing...The screen off clock sticks but not the awake clock...I am on ondemand governor does this have something to do with it, sorry I am not very familiar with kernels as I did not play around with them too much before this.
Any help would be appreciated.

Just use fastboot to flash your roms boot.img file.
Assuming you're using one of xboarders roms like 3.0.0 then use that boot.img file.
With your phone is bootloader mode
fastboot flash boot boot.img and it should push everything over and update your kernel.
Then reboot to recovery and try reflashing the rom. That should do it.

1. Ya, I flashed faux's, that's what I can use at the moment only...I flashed back to stock kernel from the original 1.3 and lost bluetooth and wifi.. (not a biggie since I won't be using the stock anyways but still a problem if anyone ever decides to go back to complete stock
2. my main problem clock frequency will not stick (want to underclock back to 1.5) even with enabling set on boot. I use fauxclock's app. perhpas I should contact him about his one....thanks.

Don't worry about making it stick. I don't even use any of the apps. Just use the kernel as it is.

cant get back to stock
Hey guys I know i sound like a noob but I am having an issue getting my amaze back to stock. I originally flashed it when it was just out and all that thread seems to have disappeared. I got the all in one tool kit and got the recovery image on there but every time I try to flash the original tmo usa rom it says it cannot open the zip file. I have tried a few diff zip files that i have even for other roms to see whats going on and it cant open any of the zip files. Need to get this back to tmo as I need to send it back in from my warranty exchange. Any help or advice would be great. Been flashing phones since the old mda was out and this is the first time i have had any issues getting it back to stock. Please help me!! When i use the recovery image provided by the tool kit it never shows me the option to flash a zip file just gives me an install option

Give me a minute and ill edit this post with what to do...
ok. Tmobile ruu is here, its in the third post http://www.android-dev.us/showthread...ver-Error-Fix! but its a torrent so u will need a torrent client such as utorrent to download it. Make sure u name the ph85img.zip and put it on the root of your external sd card. next relock your bootloader, i believe you can use hasoons toolkit to relock. MAKE SURE U PUT THE PH85IMG.zip ON YOUR SD CARD BEFORE RELOCKING. after you relock, boot your phone into bootloader by holding down power+volume down. when it boots into bootloader it will ask if you want to install update, select yes and it will do the rest from there.

I unlocked the bootloader and rooted it okay... then I flashed a ROM, that also worked fine. I tried to flash a kernel and now it just gets stuck on the HTC screen. I tried restoring my back up, still the same issue. Tried reflashing the ROM, same issue. Not sure how to get it back to normal at this point.
It sounds like the kernel you flashed is either a 2.3.3 kernel that doesn't work on 2.3.4, or it was a bad flash. You should be able to fix this by holding volume down when booting up (opens HBOOT) then choose Recovery and from the recovery you can then either enable USB Mass Storage device and transfer a stock kernel over USB to your SD card then flash the stock kernel, or if you already have a stock kernel on your SD card, you can just select it from the install from zip menu and flash.
This Kernel should work fine (it's stock with CIQ spyware removed):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1224659
and after I flash this kernel it should be back to normal.... or should I try to flash a ROM all over again as well? As long as it can definitely be fixed then that's quite alright.... this phone compared to the Epic (which I came from) seems like it's much less fail safe to me.

ROMs usually have kernels. You could just wipe Dalvick cache and cache and flash your original rom (which has it's original kernel). and that should work.
There's a sea of roms. You could try posting on a rom's thread whether a particular kernel is compatible. Just follow the spin of things. Saves from just going round in circles.

Here's a scenario: If you installed a rooted stock 2.3.4 rom then decided to install Silverneedle kernel, your phone will get stuck in this boot-loop because the silverneedle kernel is not compatible with 2.3.4 yet. So by flashing a stock kernel over what is already on there, it should fix the problem. Before you flash the stock kernel clear cache and dalvik. After that flash the kernel and reboot the phone. Chances are it will boot normally. I doubt you will have to reflash a ROM to fix this.
Just cleared the dalvik and the cache, reflashed the ROM hoping to start completely fresh and its still getting stuck...

Then flash a stock kernel. I have had the same problem before. I flashed a ROM, installed a kernel and stuck at HTC boot screen. The fix is to either install a stock kernel through bootloader or flash another ROM in recovery. If you want the best chance of it working the first time, then flash the stock rooted 2.3.4 ROM by xhausx. If you want to try other ROMs and kernels, make sure that your ROM and kernel are compatible. Also use the synergy wipe zip file before flashing to make sure everything is formatted properly. Also, did you flash the extra firmwares that came with the 2.3.4 update? If not, make sure you flash those along with the new radio that just came out.

Not sure about any extra firmwares actually.... currently going to try flashing xhaus' ROM and hope that works...
Flashed the superwipe before flashing the ROM, then flashed the ROM... it went to the HTC screen for a second then just vibrated and then turned black.
When I go into the bootloader when it is loading up the images.... it kept saying "No Image!" for all of them. I'm not having any luck with this at all.

The link posted is for the GSM Evo 3D... will it work on CDMA?
Ok, I looked around and cannot find an answer that works for me for this issue. I am wondering if it has to do with my phone having S-Off? I am most likely wrong, but i have to know whats going on. No matter what I try, I cannot get My Rezound to go from GB to ICS, ANY ICS BASED ROM for that matter. I checked MD5, Tried with battery door both removed and attached, with or without the SIM card inserted into the phone. The phone boots up almost 100%. I get a message saying "Updating Android" and it says its updating or doing something to 160 apps, the system then reboots, when it gets past the 4G screen again, It says that the boot was completed, I have no signal, i checked on the service type and its correct, tried a factory reset, and still nothing, the system just continues to boot loop over and over again, and when it boots up i cannot get past the Activation screen where it says that the phone is trying to contact Verizon to Auto Activate. I can go back to GB easily, and that works %100. Any and all information would be useful, Only reason why i think this might have to do with S-Off is because my first Rezound was S-On and worked just fine going to ICS, while this new one has S-Off and is just not cutting it.
If you have s-off the rom image could contain a radio update. That could be getting you...also data is off by default in some ICS ROMs.

so what would be recommended in this type of situation? I know its not the data being off thats causing the issue, because when i boot up i dont have a signal at all, and the lock screen instead of showing VZW banner it says No Signal. Would the Radio being an issue also cause boot loop issues?
Did you put the battery cover on the phone ?
Edit saw that u did sorry ...
Sent from my Dinc... I mean Rezound
Only thing i can think of is that the ICS rom you flashed has data off automatically, and requires you to keep pressing the home button until it passes the activation screen.
Also make sure your battery cover is on like yojoe600 said, your antenna is connected to the cover and without it you will have no signal.

this is just sooooooooo irritating. all that i have tried, this is kinda depressing. One interesting thing that i did come across though. When i flashed the BAMF GB, and tried to go from rom to rom to rom, i didnt get any MainVer error.... Dont know if thats just because S-Off allows you to go from one to another freely, or if its just not taking these updates.....
S-off has no mainvar issues. Try putting the gb radio into a PB zip or whatever the resound uses and flash that and boot to see of you get data then

I know several people have s-off devices. You might try looking over on rootzwiki as well. Maybe a dev with s-off can help.

what you mean more info, my original post was pretty clear, dont mean to be snappy or anything, i could try to give more info maybe. I've tried all the "fixes" and so far nothing works. ALL AND ANY ICS BASED ROMS are not staying stable on my phone. They get stuck in what i think is the data bootloop, but i cannot access the dial pad other than through the Emergency dial pad, i input the *#*#4636#*#* and nothing comes up, i try without the battery cover, and without the SIM card as well (Also have tried Various combinations of SIM and Battery Cover removals and inclusions). The device has S-Off, and is Unlocked with DevUnlock, and has Perm Root.
Like I stated in my initial post, the leak may contain a radio update that your phone(and the network) isn't ready for. We wouldn't get that update because our radios are locked and only a signed update from HTC would install it. I'd say back down to GB and wait it out...or post in the thread of the ROM maker and ask them about the radio.

When I say more info, I mean don't describe every symptom... tell us specifically what you did. Every ICS ROM is unique, like for example I last installed newtoroot's Senseless 4.0.3 ROM. In order to use it, I had to flash a ICS Kernel, I used the fastboot method. Then I could flash the ROM using AmonRa Recovery, and it would boot and operate effectively.
That's the kind of specifics we need, so we can follow your steps and identify possible error points, if any.

Definetly more descriptive lol thank you for the breakdown infact. In that case, last one i tried what the ICS Sense Redefined, and I tried to use the fastboot method for the Included Kernel as well, but that didnt work at all, what ICS Kernel did you flash to get it to work? a Pre-Packaged one? When installing, I did a full wipe (Both the Amon Ra Factory Reset option and the SuperWipe that is in the Dev Forum) installed the Rom, went into the Bootloader and did ADB CMD of fastboot flash boot boot.img and thats about it.

This is embarrassing but I think I might have just bricked my phone. I'm hoping that there is a work around. Please let me know if you need more info to possibly help me.
I was running:
1. SIM Unlocked/Rooted T-Mobile Amaze 4G with 1.43.531.3 Radio
2. BulletProof 2.41 Rom
3. Faux123 Kernal v.0.0.8 [Jan 22]
4. Have Clockwork Recovery Installed
I've been dealing with constant reboots since I bought the phone new. I saw that someone posted in the Energy Rom thread that when they installed his Rom that the reboots went away. So I decided to try his.
I then:
1. Grabbed the Stock Kernal Flasher and tried to flash back to the stock kernal using Xboarders Easy Flasher. Everything seemed to go fine.
2. Phone rebooted and Its just stuck at the HTC Logo.
Any options for me? I did try to restore from my last ROM backup using CWM (which I figured was futile) but that didn't change anything.
Thanks for your help on this. I love this phone but I just couldn't keep dealing with the constant reboots. Now I'm really hosed

i think the problem is using the stock kernel.
take out the battery, use the vol down+power buttons to boot into hboot, then boot into fastboot, flash the kernel appropriate to the rom your using, dont just use stock, and then reflash your rom. always remember to do a full wipe

Thanks for your suggestion. Before I saw your reply, I decided to flash the Energy Rom since it had the Stock kernal built into it. I fortunately already had the rom on my SD card so I went into Recovery and flash that rom.
FORTUNATELY, the phone rebooted successfully after rom flash to the new rom. My phone is still using Faux123's kernal so the Energy rom didn't flash the stock kernal after all. But my phone is working again!!!
Thanks for everyone's help. I guess I'll just leave the Faux123 kernal on it and be satisfied with that with the Energy rom. Hopefully the constant reboots will go away.

Thanks to S-ON the kernel will not flash when you flash a rom. You have to flash the kernel separately using the kernel flash utility.
I'm running the Energy rom using the stock kernel from his thread and am loving it. Battery life is great. I've heard that battery life is not so good with faux.
No worries needed... glad you figured it out. The good news though about having S=on is that it's virtually impossible to brick. I'm pretty sure I've read posts from members saying good luck trying to brick it.
I'm sure if you edit the right code in the build.prop, you might be able to brick it, but even then you should still be able to boot into recovery.

ill try and be as concise as possible, any other questions, just ask...ive been running energyrom for a few days now. i decided yesterday that i was going to flash this phone to stock and return it to tmobile (nothing wrong with the phone itself, just cant get used to it). i used the relocker tool and went into hboot where it said "relocked" and "security warning" underneath (never saw that before). so i figured wtf and flashed the stock 1.43 rom to it. well, after boot, **** wouldnt recognize the internal sd or my external one either.
decided to flash the stock rom again, relocked using htc.dev (adb oem relock) and went back to hboot. no more "security warning". flash the stock rom and go into titanium backup to remove bloat and see under "uninstalled" btips, btips_tmp, com.android.htcprofile, cw, and cwtemp. how? i hadnt uninstalled anything and was coming from a fresh flash of the stock rom. anyways, now im having issues with wifi calling not working right. i figured since i flashed nrgz's modified kernel, maybe that had something to do with it, but wouldnt a complete reinstall of the stock rom overwrite the kernel? wtf am i supposed to do now? ive flashed hundreds of times across various devices and never had issues.
I think you may need stock recovery for a reflash of the stock rom to overwrite the kernel. Then again, I may not know wtf I'm talking about.

thanks for the response. anyone else have any ideas or should i give the flashing stock recovery a shot? i always thought flashing the ruu overwrote everything
kernel issues, you need to flash the right kernel, you do not need stock recovery to flash kernel...go and read READ me first section...there's all in one tool use it

This is right, i had the same problem with the security warning and it was because i didnt have stock recovery

Hello,
I've been all over google and this site for the last two days trying to find a way to get my Evo 3d work! I tried searching the forum and unfortunately i kept getting server errors So i figured I would make a new thread in the hopes of figuring this out!
What happened:
I went through the rooting process, and I went to flash a ROM on to the phone and it would not load pass the HTC screen. I had a ROM on there of the stock version of the Sprint Evo 3d, unfortunately it wasn't the proper version and it did not allow 4G and such. So i tried to place another ROM on to the SD Card and flash it over, and for some dumb reason, I deleted the version of the Stock Rom that atleast enabled me to get the phone to turn all the way on. All I'm able now is to boot up to recovery, but I can't figure out what ROM to download to place on the phone to get me back to square one!!!
Help please!!

Hi jerseybizzle, I can certainly try to help you but you have to help me first.
1. Are you doing a factory reset and wiping dalvik cache before flashing?
2. What hboot version do you have?
3. Is your phone s-on or s-off?
4. Which rom did you try to flash that wouldn't boot?

1. Yes
2. 1.50
3. My phone says S-on but I have super user privileges and the guide I followed said I have the phone rooted whether or not it said S-Off or S-On.
4. I believe it was the ViperMod

If it was an ics Rom and you are having bootloops, it is most likely because you are s-on. I recommend getting s-off. The wire trick is easy to do, but you need to be careful.

Did you flash the rom through fastboot? If you just booted into your recovery and attempted to flash the ICS version of that rom coming from GB it won't work since you still have S-ON and that doesn't let you flash certain things like kernels. You can still flash roms but you have to take a couple extra steps or achieve S-OFF.
To get your phone working again...
If you were just coming from a stock rooted rom before attempting to flash a new rom, simply download a stock rooted rom from the dev section, put it on your SD card, boot into recovery, wipe and reflash. Your phone should then boot up again.

I'm guessing it was the ics version of vipermod, and since you're s-on your boot image didn't flash. So you're trying to boot an ics rom with a gingerbread kernel.
If you want to use an ics rom, you have a few choices. My favorite... Put a recovery image in the folder on your computer that has fastboot in it. Put the phone in fastboot mode and type in the command window, fastboot boot recovery.img, make sure that you name the recovery image on your comp. to "recovery.img". It should boot to recovery and you can flash away.
Something that's easier is to use 4ext recovery smart flash. I'm sure it works but I've never used it.
If you want to get back to your stock rom unrooted rom you could run an ruu.
Also, take coals advice and s-off that phone, you won't have nearly as many issues once you s-off, and you can use one of the splash screens in my Sig

I have a stock ROM finally loaded on to here now, but it won't allow me access to Wifi now! When I try to connect it just says "error". Any ideas?

Here's an idea, get flash image GUI, its free here at xda, google it. Then use it to flash the kernel from the stock rom that you have running and reboot. This should fix your WiFi. Let me know if I'm not being clear enough.

So, it sounds like wifi turns on just fine, you just get the error when attempting to connect to a network?
Have you tried resetting your router and rebooting your phone? Maybe remove that network from your saved preferences and resign in.

Inside the rom that you flashed, just choose that rom with flash image GUI and it'll pull the kernel out for you

The wifi won't turn on period. I'll click the icon for the Wi-Fi to turn on, and it just says error. No option to even try to connect!

If the app that was suggested to didn't do the trick, hit the stickies in the dev section on how to flash a rom with hboot 1.5 S-ON. I recommend the fastboot method, however, if you're so inclined, you can also go the route of getting S-OFF.
Most likely, some problems occurred when you tried to flash that ROM before and broke your wifi. So, if I were you, I'd grab a ROM (that viper ics should be fine if you still got it) and flash it through fastboot using a guide in the dev section. Be sure to read and understand the guide before attempting it.
The guide would be something like this...
1. Install the appropriate drivers and place a recovery on your PC.
2. Boot into your boot loader, select fast boot, and connect your device to your PC via USB.
3. Open a command prompt on your computer, switch to the directory containing drivers/recovery image
4. Type fastboot boot thenameofyourrecovery.img
5. Install the rom as you otherwise normally would using your phone, wiping data, clearing caches, installing zip.
NOTE: The above is not a guide, just an illustration of the guide you're looking for in the dev section.
Flashing a rom by this method allows you to flash roms with non stock kernels, so you can pretty much flash any rom made for your phone. This is the method I have used since day 1 and have never experienced any problems. You may also want to look into getting S-OFF, but I can't say much about that because I haven't done it myself (being content flashing through fastboot).
Hope this helps.

Thanks. I ended up finally finding a ROM (CM) that would load on to the phone. The Wi-Fi is working now!
I just need to find a fix for the camera, neither the regular nor 3D camera will function now.

Which cm rom exactly? I thought the camera works with all the cm roms. It sounds like you still have kernel issues, and until you figure out how to flash a kernel or boot image, you'll always have these types of issues, bootloop, broken WiFi/camera. I know that the instructions that flonker gave you are intimidating but after you've done it once you'll see how simple it is.
One limitation of HTC dev unlocking is that you can't write to the boot partition from recovery, the kernel resides in the boot partition. You can, however, write to boot from within the android system. That's why flash image GUI is so handy for people with s-on and HTC dev unlocked. Just open the app, find the rom you'd like to flash and select it, the GUI will extract the kernel from the rom zip and flash it. Then you just boot into recovery and flash the same rom that you selected with the GUI. It'll flash everything but the boot image, but that's ok because you already flashed the kernel with flash image GUI. Make sure you do a factory reset and wipe the dalvik cache.
When I was s-on I always chose fastbooting to recovery, when you do that it actually loads the recovery onto the boot partition and gives you permission to write to boot, so its like flashing should be. Just wipe, flash, enjoy.
Hope this helps.

I have been flashing roms and kernels and such for awhile on several different phones and literally almost everything you said makes no sense and that goes for the other guy 2 posts above yours. WTF is flash image GUI? Is that an app, you never even say.
The other guy is telling him to flash a rom but describes to him how to flash a recovery image to his phone...have you guys ever done this before or are you just making stuff up as you go?

Yes I do, I was looking for information and I read the entire thread. Just because they posted it a year ago doesn't make the info any less wrong.
