Go easy on me guys I tried looking for the answers for the last 3-4 hours. ;/
I already rooted my phone using this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1310115
and unlocked the bootloaded as well using the htcdev website.
And I would like to install beastmod. I went through the faq and the whole bit but still have questions and still a tad bit confused. I even went online to google and search the forum.
I know this is the official thread for beast mod
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1313017?referrerid=922386
I have unlocked the boot loader, do I need to flash the kernel still? This is where I am confuse.
I read the
"FAQ for the HTC Amaze 4G. Read Frequently Asked Questions before you post a question!"
and
"HTC AMAZE ROM Bible - Everything you need to know"
I'm coming from a Blackberry which I used for almost 6 years.
I'm just kinda stumped right now as far as steps I need to take if any prior to installing Beastmod. I have never installed a rom before but I figure I ask the questions above before attempting anything.
Forgive me if i'm wrong everyone, but i think the Kernel is already cooked into the ROM. So no need for flashing a kernel after flashing the ROM.
I too am new to the HTC Amaze. I'm coming from a Samsung Galaxy S2 and was also running BeastMod v4.0. And God is this a pain in the butt to root. Last HTC phone i had was a HTC TouchPro. WinMo6 ftl
Really? What made you go to the Amaze? I came in T Mobile store thinking I was going to walk out with the S2 but after 3 days I ended up leaving with the Amaze, just seemed like a better phone.
Have you installed beastmod on your phone going?
Oh i still have my SGS2, just got really bored with it dev wise. Too many Roms with pretty much the same things. BeastMod was really the only ROM that stood out. Just got my Amaze last night, so i haven't even been able to try to root it yet. I've been reading alot of tutorials, and it sounds fairly easy....just alot of steps than what i'm used to. But so far, i'm really liking the Amaze over the SGS2. Sense and the camera are a WIN!
As far as I can tell from reading the official BeastMod first post you do need to flash the kernel.
That message below is right in the change log.
"**FULL WIPE REQUIRED FOR v2.2.0 and Kernel Flash**
YES!
You must flash the Kernal with Kernal Flasher
We do not have S-off... Security Off
So Kernals can not be buried in the rom they have to be seperate. We do not anticipate S-off any time soon. Since bootoader is unlocked we can use ADB to push the kernal. VIOLA! for us mere mortals the mighty DEV have created a tool that does it for us!
I just want to help. I find it hard to believe you did not see this in like every Xboarder ROM thread there is! Follow instructions on front page of the ROMs. They are explicit.
Feel free to PM if you have issues though. Amaze is my first Android phone and I cut my teeth with it so I should be a good resource. Cheers
I still do not see that thread, I just looked. I;ve spent a few hours on this but still determined to do it.

How do you think I feel?
Alright so fact, need to flash kernel 1st.
Alright I found this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1328141
Which I assume its the correct one.
I am confused at number 4,
4. Place the boot.img that you want to be flashed in the Kernel-Here folder.
Which boot.img? The one thats included in beastmod?
and 5
5. Make sure adb is enabled on your phone via settings
adb?
You always flash the ROM first then the Kernel.

I don't know what you mean by that could you be more specific please?
Do you see on the BeastMod thread where you downloaded the ROM?
Underneath it, it says "Kernel for 2.2.0" that is the boot.img download it.
As for ADB under settings this is just referring to "USB debugging" turned on.
Put the boot.img in the "Kernel Here" folder which is in the "Kernal Flash Tool v3".
Then after run the flash.bat (windows) or flash.sh(mac) file in that tool folder.
That should do it.

And where are you still having problems?
That's what I thought but I wanted to make sure that what I needed to do, I was semi sure but I do not want to brick my phone by doing a step I was not suppose to.
ADB is a confusing term debugging makes a lot more sense and that is what I figured but I did not see any reference between adb and debugging mode.
So after following these steps, this will install beastmod?
I saved my contacts, sms, and call logs using a program called supa back up, they were saved on my sd card.
Anything else I need to know?
And thank yo for taking the time to fill in the gaps I really do appreciate and hopefully this thread will help anyone else that was confused as I was.
UPDATE
Does the phone need to be in any specific mode? I have it as Disk Drive and after running the bat I get a msg saying error device not found" and "waiting for device"

The boot.img is the kernel. Flashing it doesn't mean you have BeastMod.
You need to download BeastMod and flash it through recovery to get BeastMod on your phone.
Remember to wipe data, wipe dalvik and wipe cache.
After you flash the ROM then you flash the kernel using the tool.
Sometimes the kernel needs to flashed twice to fix any issues you might have after flashing a ROM and new kernel.
First boot takes longer and after first boot, once the phone settles, reboot again.
Your phone needs to be in "charge only" and not "disk drive" for ADB to recognize it.
do not worry about bricking your phone, you actually cant since there is no s-off yet + htc hasnt released much of the sources so pretty much ur phone is locked and cant brick it.
OK I did the flash.bat, phone restarted.
So in order to install the beastmod, do I copy the beastmod file I downloaded into the sdcard? Then reboot and install it through recover?
How do I wipe the data?

Yes. Copy the zip you downloaded on to your sdcard then reboot into recovery.
Volume down + power.
Once in recovery you should have options.
First do a backup.
Then look for the options to wipe data/factory reset.
Then usually wipe cache and wipe dalvik are under the "advanced" option.
I do believe you have a custom recovery so your options might be different.
Navigate around to find the options to wipe all your data.
After you wipe then you navigate to "apply update from sdcard" and then "choose zip from sdcard" select BeastMod and flash it.
You should be ready to go.
Sorry my instructions aren't specific as I haven't rooted my Amaze or flashed a custom ROM.
So I don't know what your recovery looks like.
I am going off my experience with 7 MT4Gs and 2 Sensations.
The steps should be pretty basic when flashing a ROM anyway.
I understand that for someone who is new at this reading the instructions might seem complicated at times.
I'm just trying my best to reword those instructions for you and put it steps you can understand.
Alright, final question, do I need to make a folder for the files that in the zip folder or do I just copy them to the sdcard2 directory as the way its shown when you un zip the beastmod.zip file?

Don't unzip it. Just place the entire thing on your sdcard.
If you're flashing the ROM through recovery you should not need to unzip it.
It's just placing it on your SDcard and flashing it.
ooooh
I will try it right now then.
OK
Off topic question, Cynogen is a mod like Beastmod correct?
UPDATE
Alright its been flashed yay it works lol. Do I need to flash the kernel again? I did it before, do i have to do it afterwards as well, you mention that earlier.
Boy it looks so different...... so the Sense theme is still there but just hidden in some sort of way? Will they ever disable the security on this phone or is that permanent?
Dude if the admin are smart they will PIN this thread. I am a computer guy I fix them for a living mod the etc and damm this was a pain in the ass. The information is there but its missing certain details and its scattered, I searched around and sort of has the jist of it but honestly they should make a faq on how to more or less how its detailed in this thread, would save a lot of time and effort.
This forum is so awesome! lol
This is going to need some getting use to....
Any advice on what to do next? lol Like I said this is the 1st time I've own a phone that is not a blackberry...

As A Noob here im a small bit confused.
Was going to follow this link Complete Noobs Guide but some of the links in that guide dont work anymore.
So then I came across this Video and seems too easy to do
Is the video the same thing as the noobs guide?
If it is, and I follow the video, what Rom is the best one to use.
Just looking for a stable rom, good looking and saves battery.
Thank you, great website.
Rom is your choice, yes it's so simple it takes literally a couple of mins, it took me longer to dl the files needed than to root
Personally i use the rom in my sig - Neo is the dogs bollocks
Thanks for the help.
Think I have everything sorted, last thing is do I need an SD card for this.
Dont think I do but just want to make sure before start.
Nope you can just use internal memory...
As far as I know you don't need an SD card. I rooted mine last night and was really surprised how easy it is. Literally a 5 minute process (including flashing the sensation ROM). After reading up on here I used this thread and this page which has an easy to follow, summarised guide below the video.
It was a lot easier than I expected but to be far the last device I rooted was a HTC and so didn't know what to expect without it being locked.
If you run into any problems just search for the solution as so many people have rooted I'm pretty sure everything will have been covered.
Make sure you have a insecure kernel>use SuperOneClick to root>flash CWM>put ROM on sd>boot in CWM recovery>wipe data & cache & dalvik cache> install from sd>ROM of choice>do it twice just to be safe! You're done. If you need any additional help browse/search xda forums. If you need any additional help let me know!
Ok successfully rooted and placed a kernel on the phone.
Before I put on a new ROM, I wanted to get rid of the yellow triangle.
I found this page but all the files are on mega upload which is currently down at the minute.
Any ideas how I can get a stock kernels to remove the yellow triangle?
I just seen he has updated all the links. Great news.
Just read on the last comments and im now confused.
Does the link in the previous comment fix the yellow triangle?
yellow triangle indicate that you have not a stock kernel on your phone,
normally flash a stock one and the triangle will go away,
I have not searching deep to get rid of the triangle with any kernel but ways seems to be possible.. posts on dev forum answer this
a usb jig is fine and the simple one I think, but you have to make or buy it..
try the V3RTR3MA 4.6 from the android development forum here
its one of the best roms i've ever flashed
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Why are you even bothered by it? U only see it on boot up
Because its very easy to get rid of.
All I need is a original Kernel.
I downloaded one and the image file is a MD5 file?
Is that correct?
Yes. 10 ch

You dont have CWM recovery (stock recovery wont flash custom rom zips), go do some more reading before you flash a rom so you understand what you are getting into, FAQ's here.

So I was trying to update my old energy ROM to ICS and I'm kind of hosed. Got instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362759
Basically:
- Root your device
- Install a custom recovery
- Install the downloaded ROM .zip found in post #3
- Make sure to do a Factory Reset / Wipe before installing ROM
For the record, these steps are out of order. Steps 4 and 3 are switched and I didn't notice till it was to late. What I did next was do the factory reset and then try to re-install the ROM. Everything seemed to go fine until it was time for a reboot. Then it froze on the HTC logo.
Could use some ideas as to what my next move should be. Since it was a previous version of Energy ROM + Faux kernel, phone is definitely rooted, etc. Perhaps I should start over with a stock Gingerbread ROM?

Apparently I am also supposed to flash the kernel as per this thread which I've finally found:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1645641
In order to find it, I had to search for it using Google as this forum software is so haphazard. Also not mentioned in the instructions. Will try this next if I can get at it through just the custom recovery.
Still wrong. Coming from GB and going to ICS you need to flash the ICS RUU in bootloader. I don't know how many times its been mentioned or how many other threads have been started because of this issue.

First im not resbonsible for anything that can happen to your phone this what i do if it didnt work im not resbonsible.
If you are rooted via HTCDev S-On Hboot 1.490018 and up you need to Run a command prompt and flash the boot.IMG that comes with the ROM (if not included extract the ROM and search for its in the .Zip file then move that file into a folder in the Root lf ur C Drive put your phone into fastboot mode (remove battery then put it back then press lock/on button and the volume up button at the same time) then connect it to your PC and run command prompt press on start and search for cmd then run it and type the following :
Cd c:\android (or whatever you named the folder)
After that type:
Fastboot flash boot boot.IMG
After its done unplug your phone from ur PC reboot it and it should work perfectly (it may stay at the HTC Logo for 10-20 minutes)
HOPE IT WORKS ENJOY!

I don't want to put down energy rom, but it hasn't been updated since the original leak, and the instructions were never clarified - he simply never explained the PROPER way to switch from gingerbread to ICS. ARHD gives a better explanation, but I think post #2 in the everything ICS thread gives the best and links to everything you should need..
You have to be careful anytime you are switching to a totally new OS. All the devices I know, switching from 2.1 to 2.2, or 2.2 to 2.3.. or to 4.0+.. it is USUALLY not just a "flash over the old OS".. just something to keep in mind for any of your other or future devices..

Well as far as I know, it ain't like he is getting paid much so it would seem to be a miracle if any of this stuff gets updated. ;-) If I don't have this figured out by Tuesday, I'll use it as an excuse to get a new phone. This one has a crack or two in the screen anyways.
Still, even so I would MUCH rather get this one working again. 'specially since I'm between software gigs & cash is tight. If Energy ROM hasn't been updated and there's a better and/or more complete set of instructions maybe I should be looking at something else. Will continue hunting through these forums for info but can use all the help I can get since this forum software ain't exactly friendly. Probably best to see if I can get it back to stock on ICS and then work forward from there. Having said that, I have an RUU that I am working with, its: PH85IMG_RUBY_ICS_35_S_TMOUS_2.14.531.3_Radio_1.14.550L.17DC_30.78.550L.15_release_259626_signed.zip
Tried just flashing it but apparently there's more to it than that.
Latest problem is that I can't get it re-locked without enabling USB debugging. Can't do this since I don't have a working OS. Can it be done from CLI or recovery?
Uh.... hmmm... mysterious. Seems to have fixed itself. Will try a restart and see what happens.

I was saying that there are some other options, other roms, that have better instructions and have been updated fairly well.. that is all.
The thread I was talking about by glacierguy is here - it links to tons of resources and should answer most questions you may come up with. For example it has "Relock phone (fastboot oem lock)" you can issue fastboot commands while your phone is booted into the bootloader - so this has nothing to do with usb debugging..
There is tons of information here, I know it isn't absolutely organized, but there are a lot of guys here who tried to make the information as easy to find as possible..
Did u try to restart it again it usually takes a couple of times but anyway should either return to stock or use the RUU for the ICS ROM

Righteous! Up and running on Speed ROM 4.0. Thanks so much to everyone who collaborated. Copious mashing of the Thanks button.
Was running NRG GB just fine. When giving the phone to the wife I decided to upgrade to ICS. Used CWM to wipe data, cache, etc, and installed, got freeze on HTC logo. Started using Superwipe before each try and also tried flashing several different kernels including the one inside the zip and the one included with the amaze stock kernel flasher. Now the best I can get is 5 seconds into the Energy spinning rings logo before a 5s freeze and reboot.
The only thing I haven't tried is firmware; I've seen references to "find it on the forums" but copious forum and google searches don't seem to lead to the ICS firmware itself. Can anyone help with that or point out what I'm forgetting?
In the meantime I will try installing the ICS stock ROM first and see where that gets me.

Do just that, remember to lock your bootloader if you're s-on and yes, jumping to an ICS rom without updating your device caused the bootloop.

Don't download that one, it has issues, hold up, I'll give you a link to the most recent file.
Here, get this: http://d-h.st/3VD
Download speed should be faster as well. rename it PH85IMG and place it on your sd card after you relock your bootloader, then boot into bootloader, it's gonna detect the file and ask you if you wanna update, follow the on screen instructions to update, voila! Follow the basics to install the new energy rom.
It's almost as tho NO One reads anymore. It's actually getting kinda ridiculous how many times the same issue is gonna be asked.
I know this post isn't very helpful but I'm sure most of the recognized/senior/not noobs members are getting frustrated.

It is useful, I fully agree with you, it's like we come here to answer the same questions over and over, but I'm just trying to be nice, cause I usually just say, read the amaze bible, but then they go and do something even more noobish, so to avoid the tear jerks I just give the basic info, though I'm fading away slowly.
Thanks'd for the link and the help. I was gonna get mad about being called a noob who can't read, but I guess it's a small price to pay for instant, free help. Keep on rockin' XDA.
I came across this issue. As earlier posts said, install the new ICS update. The partitions were messed up and the ruu will clean it up.

Lol, never pointed fingers buddy, so calm down.
Maybe I should create a new topic but my issue is similar to this one except for the fact that I read quite a lot and tried quite a few things.
My situation is that I made a backup with cwm only booted not flashed so I have the 100% stock backed up, after this I flashed cwm and tried to install the Energy rom based on ics and that was my mistake as I used to be on a Nexus device I didn't have to worry about this.
So I got stuck on a bootloop and tried factory reset/wiping everything, tried to reinstall a stock ROM (t-mobile one as I only found a .exe for the videotron one and I did not feel like exploring the exe as I am a Linux user) by relocking bootloader and using the HTC method, tried to install manually the stock Kernel with Energy ROM using adb and fastboot commands, tried to restore my backup but nothing seems to work, I'm still bootlooping.
Is-it possible to s-off without a regular adb access (only the cwm adb access)? And would s-off allow me to flash anything as I wish? Is there a way to have any ROM working on my device? (i know the answer is yes to the last one, at least )
Thanks!

Maybe I'm a noob on this forum but it's far to be the first time I face a problem in software configuration/installation and I read quite enough (spent about five hours on xda, google, etc.) to say that you should at least help me a bit by linking me to a thread where I can find an answer.
I know my mistake was to install ics at first but now I flashed the stock recovery back, I relocked the bootloader via fastboot and put the file on the root of my sdcard renamed correctly that it be detected automaticly (and it apparently does install) but I still got the * bootloop.
I'm able to read a manual and to read the Amaze 4G bible four times to try to point out the detail I forgot. I made my homework and now it would only be nice from you that you help me a bit...

Okay okay, calm down, there's currently only one method of going about restoring your device since you're s-on and no you cannot s-off with just cwm adb, I think JB s-off method is only an exe file, never saw linux files anywhere on his site. Anyways, you have to use the GB exe for videotron and restore to stock via it then update to ics to use the most recent energy rom, BUT if you just want a working device, this is just an idea, though it should work fine, you can flash a custom recovery and flash the GB version of energy rom, you should be able to restore your backup as well, but you said you can't, which is odd, it may be because of the kernel not being flashable as since CWM cannot flash kernels while s-on, in which case I'd advise you to get 4EXT recovery and then try restoring your back once again, it should work fine since 4EXT can flash kernels while S-ON.
My two cents.
Well, 4ext doesn't works, apparently it flashes correctly but I can't boot in it so can't even try to restore my backup, s-off doesn't works from cwm and my device has to be booted to work with Videotron's exe (or I badly installed my drivers, I nerver understand properly the 899363 drivers per device I have to install for an android phone on Windows?)
Smells bad... I checked the 4ext's md5sum and it's alright, I took it from the fastboot installable img in direct dl from the thread in the Amaze bible.
Any idea?
Oh and there is a JB s-off executable for Linux on his site. After all I guess it is mostly adb commands?

I got lost halfway through that post, after flashing a rom, if the kernel isn't flashed (reboots and does it automatically), then flash the kernel manually, should boot fine, does anyone ever really read anymore? This very issue both s-on and s-off has been answered more times today than I can count. If you read the details on JB's site, you'd see and know all you need to.
Right, I'va already flashed manually the stock kernel as sais in the NRGRom thread without success before my first post here, will look at different kernels.

How did you go about flashing the kernel?
Sent from my SGH-T679 using xda app-developers app
There was a flash.sh file in the zip with the kernel, I couldn't run it normally as I can't boot but I went in cwm (maybe I should have used 4ext, don't think so for this part) executed the adb commands there were in the sh file with all filesystems mounted, rebooted into fastboot and flashed the kernel image. Maybe there are differents /system when in cwm and when booted on regular system... Will figure that out when I have time to spend on this, as soon as possible.
Thanks for all the cues!

Okay here's a few tips, cwm cannot flash kernels with son devices, get 4ext recovery for that. Second thing, reflash the from after doing a super wipe, if 4ext doesnt reboot and flash the kernel, do it manually, ill assume you know how to use ad, if not check my Bible tutorial on it, use the boot command for flashing boot images, take the boot file from the zip file, place it in the folder where your adb files are and flash it to your device while its in fastboot mode.
Sent from my SGH-T679 using xda app-developers app
Well, I think I have done all you mention above, the only thing i'm not sure to understand is what you mean by "super wipe" I found some executables about it but I guess it can't do much more than the flash all partitions (except external sdcard) in 4ext recovery wich I finally managed to install properly.
So, I made that global formatting thing, I tried to install an ICS based ROM and 4ext rebooted to install kernel, same bootloop. Tried to install manually the kernel that came with this rom via the classic fastboot flash boot boot.img. Same bootloop. Tried to put the modules manually via the recovery adb access (performing a mount -a in adb shell to have everything present in fstab mounted) and flashing this stock kernel with no more success.
Achieved the same operations with a GB based ROM (this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535173) with both the faux and the stock kernel without any more success.
Did I miss something? Am I so dumb? Do you have any other rom to suggest that have higher chances to succeed?
Do you think trying to restore my sotck nandroid with 4ext has more chances to succeed?
Thanks, again and always!
Hello all
I have searched all over but have not found any similar problems.
I rooted my phone and installed CWM and would like to install a custom rom that exists for Gingerbread 2.3.6 (I flashed back to stock OS), I have found the rom that I seem to like a lot (Atomic rom) however when I put the .zip file into my external sd and use rom manager to install the rom it turns off, then the phone boots back up... Any ideas about what is happening? Maybe I do not have everything rom manager needs?
I am definitely not ready to flash the new rom using odin, unless you put the .zip file into PDA section and hit "Start" when the phone is in download mode... from the forums I read it is not as easy as installing the stock OS
Thanks in advance!

you leave so many questions unanswered here. you have provided some information here, but not the vital info and the last part is very confusing.
im sorry, I know you are new here, but you lead me to ask some very generic questions....................
are you in the right forum for the right phone? this is for the Note1
I only ask this because I cant even find any GB ROMS for this phone. the Note 1 has been updated to official JB. I would and I am sure you would hate to flash wrong files to wrong phone and wind up with a BRICK.
I am not trying to make it sound as if you don't even know what phone you have, but you would not be the first to flash wrong and kill your phone.
may I suggest you read up in the "Super Everything Thread", which is in the General Forum. you will find exactly that, EVERYTHING, there. Odin is no big deal and super easy to use. also most don't even use CWM or ROM MANAGER anymore. TWRP is now the RECOVERY of choice and much more user friendly.
there are also many YOUTUBE tutorals that can walk you through. but first, lets make sure you are in the right place.
your phone is a ???????? NOTE 1
you carrier is ?????? att, tmo, ver, sprint
it is presently running ??????? GB, ICS, JB
good luck and let us know if we help

Sorry about that... I have the Samsung Galaxy Note i717 for AT&T and I am running Gingerbread 2.3.6
I thought that if a rom could run on GB it could run on any phone that has GB but your response has lead me to know that it also depends on what phone I'm running, so thanks!
I'll go and double check to see if the rom I tried to install was for the note... I guess I'm lucky I didn't brick my phone when I tried flashing the other 2 rome xD... Gonna count my blessings tonight lol

don't need to apologize to me for anything. the more information the better. not only are there so many phones out there, there are variations of those phones that have gotten people in trouble.
you have the North American version

I am looking into this rom, looks pretty interesting. Flashing the "AT&T fix" though, do I put that on my SD card also?
Update: For some reason I can not install rome
I am not sure what I am doing wrong because I have Rom manager do everything when I put the .zip file on my SD card and the phone restarts like normal, I even tried doing it manually in cwm recovery. I have no idea what I am doing wrong. And this rom I know for sure is meant for GB and the i717.
Any suggestions? Thanks again
You mean it's a gb rom meant for the i717 galaxy note....... I think you may be a little mixed up on what a rom is and what your actually doing...... Explain in detail what exact steps your doing when your flashing the rom so someone can help you.

I appreciate your patience
Step 1: I put the downloaded .zip rom (saurom) into my external sd card in a special folder I named Roms
Step 2: I fire up Rom manager and go to "Install ROM from SD Card"
Step 3: Go to folder containing the Saurom .zip file and select it
Step 4: Make sure "Backup Existing Rom" and "Wipe Data and Cache" are selected
Step 5: Hit "Reboot And Install"
The phone will then turn off and restart like normal, I check but the rom did not install. I honestly have no idea how I'm screwing up lol
Do you have a custom recovery installed....

You have to understand this as well, the ROMS do not install in conjunction or within the current Stock ROM. They replace them. So as stated above you have to make sure you have CWM or TWRP installed and boot directly to the custom recovery. Then wipe your data/system/cache/dalvik and after all of that install the ROM of choice.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525341
The very first thing listed in this topic is how to install Saurom. No where does it say to try and do it through ROM Manager.
Maybe that is where your hiccup is coming from?
No further instructions needed good luck and happy flashing

Alright so I forgot that I had to wipe the data/system / cache / dalvik
But even when I tried that just now and went into installing the .zip file it said that the installation failed, is it because cwm was removed when I wiped the device?

haha, only problem is that the rom hit an error anyways so I'm still lost at what I am doing wrong...
Another question, when I reset all of the settings and stuff before I flash the rom, wouldn't that get rid of titanium back up? then how would I restore my apps and data?
Yes you are right... But first stick your phone in the freezer for 2hrs...then microwave it for 3 mins... It will cause your recovery to reconstruct and see your internal storage enabling developer options to be on... Then hit the rom installer button.

It might also help to post what ROM you were running, along with what two kernels you flashed. Certain kernels only work with certain ROM's (AOSP kernels don't work on Sense ROM's, and vice-versa).

The current situations has changed sadly.
I have no custom ROM just Sense.
The Kernel: Bulletproof-EVO-v1.4.
ROM: Default Sense?
This is my first attempt at really rooting/adding kernels just messing around and doing damage.
Now instead of WiFi I have no Data Service with this Kernel and ROM combo. I will check out your links thank you very much.

Hit the top link in my sig. I think you'll find what you're looking for there. Sounds like you may need to reflash your recovery from the bootloader via fastboot. Assuming that works, you need to due a full system wipe from recovery, then flash a ROM.

Do forgive me, I am reading your thread and advice.
I am just running on zero sleep in the past 4 days and trying to fix this all day.
The bootloop is gone now that I have flashed the TWRP recovery Stock recovery and Twrp again.
The stock recovery was still giving me the twrp startup screen (disclaimer at the HTC screen)
I also don't quite get what to do via Hboot 2.09 (what I have)
All the ROM's with the kernels are in a zip that needs to be opened via TWRP well the ones I download...
I have wiped the ceche/delvik etc... fear I wiped the whole thing by accident rendering the device empty.
My android's exe file doesn't seem to be about either.
Android version: 4.1.1
Software: 3.17.650? (The most recent for Evo commercially)
When I do attempt a Stock restore via fastboot flash not exe file I end up getting the red ! next to my phone and the phone doesn't reboot naturally.
Do I need to hunt down ROM's and Kernels that I can flash into the cmd?
I understand with my version I must flash in the using the prompt and have them separate but I am totally new at this I feel really dumb I'm sorry if I am bothering you with redundant questions I am attempting to follow and get the information but I think I am reading so many different threads on it I am suffering from information overload (artist not a programmer lol.)

I am attempting to download MeanBean after reading Fin's Fix.
Though I don't know if FlashImage GUI will work.
I also have to figure out how to flash .apk files too...
Sorry about the bother... I really am far below Novice at this I should have had someone holding my hand step by step lol.
Okay, so the problem with the Kernel originally was it wasn't compatible?
Then the next one with the service error was I suppose the same thing?
Then when I tried to restore apparently I wiped my phone of all Data resulting in a bootloop and being no one has the exe file for the factory RUU of the latest version for the Evo 4g LTE I had no way of restoring any of the files?
So then I stalked Fin's suggestions eventually lead me to MeanBean. at least it got me up and running... I attempted to back up with TWRP.
Which apparently doesn't work (I have to learn how to backup else where... Lets add it to my list.)
But after I attempted the back up I also attempted the instillation of "Operation Jelly Bean" I love the ROM I love the theme I love the sleekness
Apparently I am missing something with my touch panel software. I wish I could have kept the ROM but couldn't sadly (If you know what I am doing wrong I would love to keep that ROM in the future)
So with another failed ROM I tried to restore... which there was no restore when I went to do so... I was a little frustrated from my constant bricking as is...
I attempted factory restore apparently also wiped everything (Internal sd, external, everything.) I don't know what is up with that do you have any clue if its a glitch or am I just wiping it?
I also do Stock restore that does absolutely nothing for my phone anymore...
I will flash it... and it does nothing... it still runs like TWRP (disclaimer etc) but won't go to the twrp boot screen... this is a bit frustrating.
