Have Fourth Bar ROM 3.0. With S-,ON un-locked bootloader.
Re-Lock bootloader with all in one tool
Flash ICS leak.
Works, become happy.
Attempt to root it.
Unlock bootloader. Flash CWM recover v5.0.2.6
Grab SU file, put it in old SD card. Put it in old ROOT folder. Flash SU. See that CRT animation and battery percentage zip are in folder from Fourth Bar's previous version. Impulsively flash them.
Phone stuck on infinite bootloop. Immediately regret decision.
Flash previous recoveries. Nothing. Go into XDA search, find "[GUIDE] Recovering from a Soft Brick (Stuck on HTC Screen)"]
Both links are dead. Find this stock ROM, wipe, data/factory reset, wiped cache partition, flash, still suck at bootloop.
Give it to me straight guys, is it.. is it bricked?

A bricked phone is one that doesn't turn on. If you are able to get to recovery you are fine.
My advise, reflash the ICS rom. When you flashed the battery percentage tweak you changed your framework-res.apk file, which is unique to the rom it is made for. You flashed an older framework-res.apk file on a newer and completely different ICS rom, causing it not to boot.
Just reflash ICS. Also, the stock rom you linked is Gingerbread, which will also bootloop on the newer radio, or so I have seen/heard.
This seems like it would solve the problem.
But the battery is dead on power and it won't let me re-charge with the amaze off.
You're going to have to find an external charger or someone else with the same phone to get it charging.
Thought as much :/
Placed an order for anker. Might as well right?
Will post back if it backfires.
Just curious, y did u flash cwm 5.0.2.6 rather that ext4 or touch cwm? Lol then u would be able to charge your phone. Try leaving the phone on the charger over night, it may be charging it in short pulses bcuz of bad recovery so getting any kind of charge will talke alot of time. Once u get charged, relock bootloader and reflash ruu

I can probably answer that. He must've used my toolkit. Xboarder56 requested that I remove his recoveries. I put the official CWM 5.0.2.6 in place of it. He must have not known about that.

Sorry!
ok, the battery arrived today. Charged it up and tried re flashing the ICS RUU and it's still as before. The white HTC will appear, then switch to a black background where nothing happens.
Any advice on what to do?
Disregard previous post!
I forgot to re-lock the bootloader. Works perfectly.
Thank you guys!

i was trying to change fonts using a font installer app
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct...-MznBQ&usg=AFQjCNGA5Oax1qBBGwpnMYpvc_ZNbeTgXw
and since the third time i rebooted to install a new font my phone has been stuck o splash screen .
Anyway to fix?
Try wiping caches.
I would try a wipe maybe the font won't take or something got screwed up kernel wise which would cause it to hang...
now it wont turn on at all . Further inspecton into this app and i have came to the conclusion it was this app some user have had their phone bricked from this app .
I have sprint insurance will they cover this?for A REPLACEMENT?
As these guys said try wiping caches and then if that doesn't work going to have to try just reflashing the ROM without the font change.

Just flash another recovery with adb..
Phone isn't messed up lol. Use the same recovery you were using just put a copy of it where adb is.
Then plug phone in
start adb
and tell it to
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img should work....
From the sounds of things I don't know how.... It seems like whatever you did wiped out your recovery.... So all you need to do is flash a new one... Also you could try to relock your phone...
Then run a Ruu 2.17 exe that would fix you up lol.....
If your CDMA and on hboot 1.5... If you can't get another recovery to flash over... Just relock your phone and download the RUU exe and run it from hboot will fix you up...
I did the exact same thing with that app and rom, just went into recovery from bootloader and wiped cache and delvic cache and reflashed the rom, you might have to fastboot into recovery from the bootloader though because of hboot 1.5
If you can't even boot it into Bootloader, run the ROM Upgrade Utility (RUU).

I can almost just repost one of the 2 same hboot 1.5 posts over & over...

- can't flash rom/recovery = see Issues thread in signature for detailed "scenarios".

My friend's phone tried to pull an OTA while he had CWM recovery installed, and it started boot looping. Had to download the stock recovery, name is PG05IMG.zip in the root of the SDCard, and force the phone to boot to the bootloader and install it. Once it did, the phone started up, rebooted itself, and installed the OTA fine. Sounds like yours may be trying to do something similar?
If so rooted phones need caches cleared for the ota to work.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
From my understanding, Rooted can still take OTA, but you have to have stock recovery to do it (as I witnessed earlier). You will lose root, and will have to re-flash recovery to TWRP, CWMR, or whatever your normal choice is, and then re-apply the su.zip, but otherwise easy as pie.

Hello, first of all I would like to thank everyone who has posted in this thread to try and help out. I just started having a very similar problem- I'm rooted and running stock, but apparently my phone accepted an OTA and I'm stuck in a bootloop as well.
I got into CWM recovery and downloaded the stock recovery PG05IMG.zip, but it won't install. It just aborts every time I try to install it. I'm a noob at this stuff and not very good at dealing with these sorts of things and I've been having a panic attack for the past hour, so if anyone could help me as soon as possible I would really appreciate it.
I'm really scared of making things worse than they already are. I just want a working phone.

The zip won't work in CWM because it's not designed for use with CWM. It's designed for use in Fastboot. Should be on the root of your sd card. From off, if I'm correct (like this with other HTC devices), hold volume down and power to boot into fastboot. This will allow it to flash the stock recovery.

If not what ROM were you trying to install?
edit: added this it might help u - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1575550
You need to specify the rom you were trying to install and when you say stock do you mean gb or ics? What I would do is install the latest leaked ics. You can find many tutorials on how to do that. Then once your phone is updated install eng hboot flash a recovery do a new ics rom
sent from my s-off HTC_Amaze 4g ICS OneGood Rom
If u have a recovery ur always able to fix it I've found. If ur flashing an ics Rom, I would follow the s off tutorial and once that is done, flash ur ics framework and Rom threw fastboot if u can't boot it or even recovery if u can still get there. If anything and ur still on gingerbread, find the amaze stock ruu, and "fastboot flash boot boot_signed" then Itl turn on
Another one of these threads? There are multiple threads about "How I Bricked My Amaze" if you don't want an expensive paper weight then I suggest browsing more often.
To flash an ICS Rom you need to be updated to the Official ICS or the Leaked ICS.
Certain threads even explain this before hand in their OP.
Failure to read has been the "IN" thing going on around these forums.
Not reading will get you bricked.

That isn't how you get to ICS - everything I know thus far says you are supposed to do it by flashing the leaked OFFICIAL image in the bootloader - do a LITTLE research(hint, everything ICS thread has the how-to like the second post). Perhaps there is a way to do it differently, but I have yet to find ONE set of instructions that say to flash it originally thru CWM. If you knew the right way, you'd already have it fixed.
At least you HAVE a recovery you can access - depending on the version of CWM it may not be the best one, but at least you should be able to access the bootloader-- but unless some other noob who had the same issue explains it to you by PM, that is about as much help as you are going to get - at least until anyone can tell you've done some research!
As Double0EK said, there is PLENTY of information that should be easy to find.
OP, have you figured out a solution?
Please tell us what rom ure trying to install and maybe we can help

first of all, i rooted many phones already, i know what im doing but i rushed through the process, i have rooted galaxy notes, the sensation and the amaze befor but i just rushed, know how to put phone into fastboot through adb, flash recoverys in fastboot when my mothers phone did not want to get cmw right,
Ok, so apprently I am running cwm, I thought I was running amon ra to be honest but here is my problem:
Ok, I had cleanrom on my phone, lost 4g so started messing around. When I go into CWM Recover v5.8.1.4 and try to reinstall a rom or anything I just get the little CWM icon, It will not go into any option I choose. I have to pull the battery to restart. But the screen will not turn on when I push the power. Only think I can do is boot into bootloader. VZW rep said they can replace it, but was afraid I would get charged from HTC since its prob my fault. Any suggestions?
Hmm. Boot into bootloader, plug in via usb. Flash Ruu or new recovery (probably RUU)
I think that should work.

I did flash amon ra, and clean rom. Once I got it all setup, I downloaded ROM Manager, this has killed the phone.

When I plug the phone into my computer to adb device it is not found. I have download HTC Sync.
you need to be in fastboot for it to be found

Hi guys, new poster, but I'm seriously stuck. I obviously have the HTC Evo 4G LTE, and I have root and unlocked bootloader with HBOOT 1.19 and S-ON. I have tried so many times to install CM10 (the Codefirex nightlies) with TWRP install, but I simply can't.

I'm sorry, I really don't get what you mean.
Try jellybomb, it has the kernel installer, or go back to a sense Rom and use dumlock. Make a backup in recovery and go to advanced/dumlock and install. Boot back to sense and open dumlock, let it make a backup and execute. When you reboot it will go straight to recovery and from there go back to dumlock and restore boot. Now you can flash a Rom normally

Experiencing the same phenomena with the spinning blue CyanogenMod circle after boot. Have copied CM10 zip (stable, not nightly - yet) and GAPP onto sdcard. Rooted, and S-Off completed on HBoot 1.19, 2.13.651.1 RUU. Will follow this thread for guidance! I guess I am a noob here, but should have graduated beyond that, getting S-Off and root complete. Oh well!

This may be a dumb question but did you wipe the dalvik and cache and system before installing?

Yeah... I have half a mind to give up. I've been to so many forums.... That's why I posted here.
Deleted. Question was already answered.

There's really no reason to not be s-off. It makes installing non sense ROMs infinitely easier. Just use the dirtyracun s-off method and then flash cm10 again. If for whatever reason you just don't want to be s-off you can flash the boot.img in fastboot and it ought to boot up.

Another noob question, but what does S do exactly? And how do I flash the ROM / boot.img file?
Without getting too technical about it, being s-off means your device is fully unlocked rather than being half unlocked only using htcdev's unlock method. There's a much more in depth description in the FAQ among many other questions you probably have.
