I restored my previous ROM and it works fine, but everytime I try to flash the Sense 3.5 I get soft bricked. Is anybody else getting this problem? I just formatted my data, and then installed the .zip file that was in the thread (version RC1). When it was finished, I rebooted the phone and it gets stuck at the HTC loading screen. I tried installing the patch for RC1.1 afterwards and it was still bricked so I restored my previous ROM (BeastMOD). Does anybody have any idea what I did wrong?
Do I have to install a new kernel for Sense 3.5? All the links from Xboarder's threads for the kernals are down, so I wasn't able to get it.
Thanks for the help!

I kept getting a boot-loop and i was like WTF lol.. then i realized it could have been not flashing the kernal and that was exactly it. (I always flash the kernal when the phone boots up) instead of doing it in bootloader

Kernel is in the rom .zip file. Just have to unzip it and flash it separately. Alternatively, I would suggest using Flash Image GUI app. Has worked flawlessly for me.
1-Just open zip file of amaze sense 3.5 rc1 and you gonna see boot.img.you should copy it "flash kernel here" folder which is here => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1328141
2-)you should dowload easy flasher kernel.And you will put your "boot.img"=> "Kernel Here" folder.Than you should take off battery and open bootloader( power button and - volume) you can connet phone via usb to pc and same time you will see whats writing there "fastboot usb" on your phone now you will click flash.bat in easy kernel flasher file.
Just your phone will be restart and it would be ok
I got same problem and ı did it.its ok now.

How can you have the same problem? This isn't a problem, this is not following instructions. If you DID flash the kernel and are still having issues then maybe you have a problem.

You need to flash that kernel when you install the rom.
I am going to try this right now, I hope this works, I've been trying for 2 days now going from stock to different ICS ROMS without being able to get past the HTC screen on a ROM
Before you do that you might try flashing the kernel out of the rom zip with Flash img gui, tell it to reboot to recovery and then flash the rom. The only reason I recommend this is that chads kernel will break 3d and mount sd via usb.
So I'm having the exact same symptoms as OP but I'm S-OFF and GSM, I don't know if there is something like the fix you posted birddog_61 that could help me in my case.
Unfortunately this did not work for me, I did a superwipe, flashed the ROM, and then flashed the kernel, then rebooted and still cannot get past the damn HTC screen, any other advice?

Curious question but have you tried any of the Sense 4.0 ROMs cause those work for me but whenever I install a 3.6 ROM(atleast the ones based on the leak) my phone reboots every 10 seconds, It's just a little odd that for such a rare problem, it'd be someone with such a different configuration that I have.

Well I'm on GSM so we don't have the exact same ROMs but I used Shooter Ice, in my case flashing the boot.img for Shooter Ice over Virtuous 3.0.2(a ROM based on the leak) actually fixed the bootloop though the system was too unstable to use. But try something not based on the leak since that did work for me(though none of those ROMs are fully functional).

Ok try this, go back to a rom that will boot for you. Boot up and download Flash Image Gui. Now make sure the rom zip file is on your sd card. Open flash image gui and grant it super user permission, make sure kernel image is selected and also clear dalvik and clear cache are checked. Click on the browse button at the top and find the rom zip file on your sd card and tell the prompt yes to extract the kernel. Now it will flash the kernel and ask you to reboot, tell it to reboot to bootloader. From there get into recovery and flash your rom like normal.

Didn't work for me(not that I really thought it would but I'm pretty desperate at this point), if he's having the same issue I am(atleast the OP had the same bootloop I do), I know in my case it's the boot.img not getting along with something, what that something is I'm still trying to figure out though.
so I just rooted my HTC Amaze 4G and I downloaded several ROMs to try out different ones and see if they worked and no matter what ROMs I use, when I try to reboot the phone, it gets stuck at the white HTC logo screen.
I DID make sure I did a wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition before installing new zips from SD card.
list of downloaded ROMs:
-EnergyAMAZE_ICS.zip
-Energy_4.27.2012.Amaze.Sense.3.6_ICS.zip
-Speed Rom 3.1.0.zip
*first two I believe are part of the same ROM but were downloaded as two different zips.
This is my first time doing this and so far, I feel like a crippled and lost puppy. help with be very appreciated
What did you use to flash?
Over 10000!!! You bet I am.
I'm sure you just need to flash the kernel. Make sure you flash kernels with their respective roms to complete the process. Search for easy kernel flasher and follow the instructions.
P.s. Next time it might be easier, quicker, and better for the forum if you search for the answer to your problem before you create a new thread... Thanks

well to start off, I did fix the problem by installing the original T-Mobile Amaze ROM which I will upload shortly because I did notice other people having the same problem.
As far as the flashing, I'm using Hasoon2000's rooting/recovery program that I downloaded from one of his threads and I don't quite understand how to flash it..is that when I go into recovery and "install zip from SDcard"?

But you need to flash the kernel!

Or if you want to skip easy kernel flasher, you can search for 4ext recovery software. It is the only recovery that can flash a kernel without s-off

So I flash the kernel first, then use the recovery to install the ROM and I'm in the clear?
now my phone is just starting up, getting past the HTC screen and (since I am trying to get the new ICS ROM) gets to the screen with the multiple revolving rings and freezes, then resets itself. what now?
Yep you got it kernels are the heart of roms. The best way to get them flashed is 4ext but learning more about kernels and to flash it is important. Try a rom again. Flash the kernel with one of the programs I suggested and enjoy.

That rom doesn't have any gsm or data..... Smh you have to read the entire post. But nrgz is the best rom to try. Ok I will post these directions for you.
try this, assuming you have a windows machine:
-download any ICS rom, extract the boot.img file, put it on your desktop
-download faux kernel, unzip the file on your desktop to keep it simple, and in the folder 'kernel-here' delete the boot.img in it and paste the boot.img you extracted from an ICS rom
-restart your phone in HBOOT and go to fastboot
-run the flash.bat batch file in the extracted folder from the faux kernel download, and let the command prompt run. It should tell you that the boot.img image was loaded.
restart your phone and hopefully you should be ok.

Check to make sure you are on the latest firmware. You will get bootloops if you are trying to install an ICS rom based of the leaked ruu and dont update the firmware on the phone.
you can get it here http://radioactivehobo.com/Amaze/Roms/PH85IMG.zip (from the arhd thread)
I'm in the same boat. I was unlocked, running CWM 5.8.0.9 (Touch) with the Stock T-Mobile Kernel. I tried to flash Android Revolution from NRG ICS. The flash failed, and now I'm stuck on the white screen. I can't get into any recovery. I have flashed all the recoveries in Hasoons kit (and in EasyKernelFlasher_V1.3), I have flashed all the Kernels, I have tried all the suggestions in this thread. I can get into Bootloader easy, but once I try recovery, when it reboots to go into recovery (or a fresh start up from a battery pull), it hangs in the white screen.
When I pull the battery, put it in and plug into my laptop via USB, the phone sits there while off and connects and disconnects to the laptop over and over. When I disconnect it, I can boot into bootloader. But that's about all.
Been at this for hours searching for the magic bullet. I can't find it.
Oooo K, I got this to work, and here's what I did.
First off, I was stuck on the white boot screen, and could never get into Recovery. It would re-boot and hang at the white screen. I flashed it all with Hasoons kit, but nothing would work. But here's what I did.
First, I found this thread.
Down in the thread was a link to this.- it's a faux Kernel.
I downloaded it and put it on the root of my SD card. I renamed it to the usual ph85img.zip and booted into fastboot. The phone found that file and loaded it. That got me into Recovery.
From there, I was able to take the ROM of my choice, put it on my SD, then flash it as usual. And when it re-booted, I had a working phone again! Wh00T!
the original Tmo stock ROM I used is T-mobile_1.43_Stock_Rom_testv1. I tried finding the link I originally got it from but couldn't so sorry about that, guys. All you have to do is wipe data/factory reset in recovery mode and wipe cache partition and then use Hasoon2000's toolkit to flash stock tmo kernel and then install the tmobile 1.43 stock rom from SDcard and that will make your phone go back to normal and you should not have a problem with the white HTC screen!
However, I still don't understand how some of you are getting these ROMs to work on your Amaze 4G. I think I'm doing it right so somebody critique my steps here:
-download rom found here
-Place on sdcard
-turn off phone and boot into fastboot
-flash boot.img found in ROM file
-phone restarts itself and freezes at revolving ring screen and repeats over and over again
-so I take battery out and restart into recovery
-install zip from SDcard
-and then BOOM....nothing..same thing happens where it freezes at the revolving ring screen
WHAT IS GOING ON?! could it be the kernel that's faulty? looks like the rom worked for other people just fine
Which Rom are you trying to flash? I hope you're not trying to flash an ICS Rom.. if you haven't updated to the Leaked ICS RUU then the Rom you might be trying to flash won't work. Check the Development threads. Read the OP and a few pages before asking on the thread.

Okay so I'm running into a small issue and it really doesn't matter to me in the end but I would like to use the Viper boot img rather than the Sprint obviously. I originally flashed 3.1.4 using twrp and i can do everything i want to. However, since im in s-on mode I couldn't flash the boot img and when trying to use the img flasher, it recognizes my device, reboots to fastboot. Then my computer doesn't see the device anymore and the flasher times out and fails.
Is there a link to the latest HTC drivers im maybe missing or do i need to be in bootloader first and install a new driver? I tried going into bootloader where the tool says its rebooting to but same thing.
Again, not the biggest deal in the world but the sprint boot is just terrible.
Any input is appreciated and awesome job Team Venom, keep on being awesome!
Thanks!

Hey Everyone! So here's the quick nitty gritty...
Flashed Clean Rom Standard and Left S-On
Worked great for about 8 months
Started crashing like crazy and the only fix was to go back to stock

Can't get any aftermarket S-On Roms to work
It can never see a PH98IMG.zip file via fastboot/bootloader
So I'm stuck and I don't know what to do
Anyway, that's where I'm at. Right now the phone is working just fine but stock roms suck and it's FULL of bloatware that I can't get rid of. So...any ideas on what I can do? I'd love to use Clean Rom once again but I can't get the PH98 file to flash

The newer roms are mostly made for S-OFF and do not create a ph98img file to flash with the boot.img you have to manually do it.
You should be able to flash by extracting the boot.img from the rom you want to flash, place it in your fast boot folder on your PC,
Open command prompt in that folder, and type fastboot flash boot boot.img
Hope this helps

I'll chime in, but would say that getting acquainted with how ADB works from the PC would be of great help to you. I don't like it either, which is why I s-offed. It does occur to me though that, at the very least, you are rooted, so Titanium Backup will help you freeze and/or uninstall bloat. I just had to RUU because I borked my internal storage and I am running stock, without all of Big Reds crap, and I'm actually enjoying it for a few days...

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I don't see a way around your problem if you're unwilling to learn how to do things with fastboot or adb or (possibly) both. They're easy to figure out for basic operations, so just do it! (Hey, you're flashing custom ROMs, ya gotta give a little too! )
Good luck,

There is one way to acquire temp "s-off" meaning you can flash ROMs in recovery and the boot image flash with it. It does do heavy work on your boot partition though. TWRP HTCdumlock there is instructions in flyhalf's TWRP thread to do this method

Don't use CWM plain and simple. Switch over to TWRP. Only con, rebooting to bootloader manually. Also make sure you do a system/data/cache wipe prior to switching roms.
There is always the all in one tool that you can flash the kernel from but you still need to extract the boot img from the rom
Okay, so I was having phone problems, and decided to give my phone a factory reset. I went onto my TWRP recovery and reset, but I accidentally reset EVERYTHING, including my ROM, Kernel, Android_Secure, and everything else. So basically all I have is a recovery. I am on hboot 2.0.9.
I downloaded the stock ROM and kernel from the internet. I tried plain flashing it to TWRP, but I always get the same error
"Error: Kernel not installed" Nothing installs. I tried installing the kernel (boot.img) from fastboot, but that appeared not to work either. I've tried so many ROMS. After trying to flash I'll reboot and it will say "No OS installed" Then the white HTC screen appears and I have to turn it off manually, because nothing works.
What do I do? I'm pretty sure It's something with the kernel, but I can't figure it out. Can anyone please help me?

Okay. I followed all of your steps, and got a lot done. But when I try to flash my ROM, it says, "ERROR: Kernel not installed" It also doesn't work when I try to install the kernel seperately
I am still stuck on the quietly brilliant screen trying to boot up because of this.
I don't have a good ROM to flash either. Any suggestions for hboot 2.0.9?

Your issue is that you're S-on. Depending upon the ROM you're trying to flash you have to install the kernel separately from the ROM (which is why I recommend in that other guide a ROM with a kernel installer built in). Hit the top link in my sig for more info. You need to specifically read the section about S-on kernel flashing.

Okay, thanks for all your help. Unfortunately I am terrible at finding ROMs that work with my EVO, do you have any recommendations of one like you said that has a kernel installer built in?

Flash in recovery. When done, reboot to system. The phone will begin to boot, then it will reboot to recovery. Flash the ROM zip a second time, then reboot once more. First boot will take a few minutes. I highly recommend getting S-off once you get up and running.

Got MeanBean installed no problem, and after a short wait, the phone rebooted to normal! Thank you so much, you literally saved me from buying a new phone
