Guys,
I was trying to perform s-off on my ICS amaze, but while running controlbear, the connection of the phone to the laptop got disconnected.
now my phone is showing a black screen with the image of a small phone in the middle and 3 green arrows forming a circle...
I tried pressing power + down arrow but that gets be to fastboot, I can't get to recovery...
any suggestions?
ok got in to recovery.
trying this again
EDIT:
On second thought.... I go tback to recovery, reflashed a rom... then rebooted, but the green arrows are still there....
how do I get it out of there?
I had the same exact issue and I also got back into recovery and flashed a Rom only to go back to the green arrows but I flashed a different recovery and then reflashed the Rom and the kernel and it booted right up no problems..........however after that I decided to retry the s-off procedure to my other amaze and I got it on the first try so I then went back to this one and I am still unable to achieve s-off on this amaze
ok I used the AIO kit and flashed the stock TMO US kernel... now I no longer see the green arrows.... but it's stuck on the htc logo.....

OK, so I got a little "cocky" and flashed to another ROM. Apparently it wasn't capability with Rezound as it didn't boot. When I tried to boot into recovery, only could select Hboot. That lead to a loop. Took out the memory card, the SIM chip, battery, cover all to no avail. I finally got Scott's rom that was working back on the phone. But still having issues, the phone constantly reboots. I get to the home screen and/or lock screen it works but then freezes and resets. I no longer have the ability to boot into recovery. When I connect to the MAC (or PC) it says charging only.
When able tried a factory reset but that didn't do anything, I can no longer get to that screen. Did a nandroid backup before playing around with the new ROM but can't figure out how to get to it.
HELP... need your help pretty please
Did you just do a factory reset before you flashed Scott's rom or did you wipe /system as well? Also make sure debugging is enabled as well. Have you tried to boot to recovery with adb?

DOOD YOUR PHONE IS TOTALLY BORKED. PANIC!
Kidding
in all seriousness. What firmware are you on. ICS or GB firmware?
I.E. have you run an RUU, are you s-off or s-on
if you are unsure, just type out like the first 5 lines in HBOOT.

When I was able to select something other than HBOOT I did a factory restore but didn't notice anything different. Also manually deleted. However now when I try to go into recovery mode, only HBOOT is selected and the up/down button doesn't work.
Not sure how to boot to recovery with adp.
Appreciate your wisdom

The last time the phone worked, was running Scott's Clean Rom 4.5, Android 4.0.3
Kernel ver: 3.0.16-g8fa42b5
I believe it's s-off but it's fighting me to get back to the recovery screen
Sadly I'm not sure about RUU
What ROM was it if you don't mind me asking? I mean was it at least for the Rezound if so then it shouldn't be that bad..
I didn't do anything different this morning than last nite, but the phone came back to life. I restored the nadroid backup and it appears to be working. Though getting an error about the SIM card after a reboot.
Don't know what I did wrong when trying to flash or if the ROM just wasn't compatible.
After marathon attempts to read, get to know my Amaze, and to root, I can appear to flash either Speed Rom 6.0 or Energy_6.21.2012.Amaze.Sense.3.6; however, after installation the initial reboot begins a loop. For Speed Rom, reboot occurs after the 4 colored X is on the screen awhile, for Energy it occurs after the Beats Audio logo completes. I am overwhelmed. I use 4ext v1.00.5 RC3.
Here is what I think I have done, including a pic of the screen.
Unlocked, S-Off, HBoot-1.90.0008 (pic 1 attached)
I had to work my way through losing HBoot after the wire trick and got it back after a lot of reading.
Had "PH85IMG_Ruby_TMOUS_1.43.531.3_Radio_1.08.550L.19DC_30.66.550L.08D_release_228638_signed" booted up prior to installing the Roms above and thought I was on the right path.
Not sure what else to advise becasue I am at a loss for what I have done.
Been Using a rooted MyTouch 4G/Glacier and felt like I could handle this device, not so much.
What should I try next?
Thanks,

Use this tool to ensure that your phone has the correct stock ROM on it, (and ensure that your phone has the correct firmware on it too) and then you can try reflashing the ROM through recovery.

Good luck.
You are still running gingerbread, the 1.43 firmware. First upadte it to ics stock then root and flash anything you want

Thank you for your help, I missed that I was not on ICS stock early on and thought I was on it.
The Super AIO Tool for HTC Amaze 4G worked great, stock booots. After a breather, I will flash something else.
Thanks again.
Excuse me if I missed an existing thread with this issue, I have looked and didn't find one with exact problem.
It seems everyone else has one of the two problems, not both.
As the title claims, when I turn on my phone it freezes on the white background-green htc screen and won't load the OS.
I tried removing the batter then turning back on with power-volume down but nothing happens. That hboot menu doesn't show up.
As soon as I let go of the buttons, it attempts to start up normally then freezes again at the same screen.
Last night I rooted my phone (first time I've ever rooted) and installed SolidRom Suite ICS Sense 3.6 and it worked perfectly.
I then removed battery, went into hboot menu, cleared the catches and did a factory reset. I then attempted to install the SolidRom Suite JB 4.1.1
This is when it loaded the white screen-green htc and froze. I thought it was loading the rom slowly (First time like I said, I didn't know what to expect)
It was 2am so I just fell asleep. I woke up to a dead phone. I plugged it in to a charger and have been attempting to get access to the phone all morning with no luck.

Any other information you need? Any and all help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I just hope I didn't kill my phone
While rooting last night, I was using a youtube video as a cross reference to the directions I was using from AFs.
I asked the creator of the video the same thing and this is what he replied with
DON ,T BE SCARED (are u?)
this thing is called BOOTLOOP
the rom has problems OR U DID NOT FLASH THE KERNAL!!!!
to flash the kernal u need a working software and install an program called flash image gui
restore your nandroid back u created before flashing
DID U MADE A NANDROID BACK UP
If no
then u need to download the ruu image of your phone GOOGLE TIME keep searching until u got one

1-I didn't know I needed to flash the kernel if I was going to stick with the one provided with the custom ROM (is that a gross conceptual error?)
2-If I do need to flash the kernel first... I have no idea how.
3-I looked up flash image gui and all the instructions assume your phone is working fine so I'm not sure what I'm suppose to do with that.
I was so excited when the first rom (ICS) worked... guess that's what I get for then trying to upgrade to JB.
Thanks a lot guys. That noob video I watched to register on this site is so spot on.
update: I finally figured out how to fastboot. I keep trying clear caches then factory reset. I install new rom and then it bootloops again. What am I doing wrong?
I recommend you follow ramjet's guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889438
It will reset your phone back to stock (hopefully stopping the bootloops) and then get you s-off using the wire trick. This will allow you to flash ROMs without worrying about flashing kernels. It will also allow you to change hboots, which I think was what caused the issue in the first place. I think all the jb ROMs don't boot on hboot 1.58.
I was able to return the phone to factory settings. I then retried and now I get past the splash screen and am frozen at the next Sprint screen.
I'm still at it. I'll get it eventually.

You can't run JB on 1.58

You need to flash 1.58, the new firmware to flash my Rom.

I'm amusing he's talking about hboot there. Am I wrong?
I'm about to try that wire trick. Regardless of everything else, it seems to make life easier down the road.
Please lock
I got the one Max on saturday and went online sunday to root it and maybe get a rom installed on it.
Got it rooted, then was getting ready to go to sleep when I restarted the phone now it has S-off, but no root and will only boot up to a picture of a battery with the red triangle and exclamation point on it.
I got Clock work mod and I can sometimes get ADB to work-- I push a rom over, it says it installed, but then at restart it goes back to the red triangle.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
Got Nusense as the only ROM to install-- tried VZW stock recovery adn also the ViperRom, but they error out after waiting 30+ minutes to adb transfer/ sideload.
Thanks for any help.

how come you got s-off but just rooting it? dont make sense.
abd push rom? why? install twrp recovery and boot in recovery, mount usb with usb lead and copy rom to phone and then use recovery to flash rom!
So I just got a m8 and unlocked and rooted it. Then I want to add a custom rom., after got a error 7 so I tried another one. So I decide to do stock recovery.
It worked but then it just goes to a red ! point in a triangle. Now it won't boot into fastbootter or recovery.
How can I get back to stock?
Thank you in advance
The red triangle is your stock recovery (when you see the triangle again you hold
power+volume-up and it will bring up your stock recovery options.
Did you create a backup so you can restore it or did you go from the errors to just flashing stock recovery .if you list clearly what exactly you've done we can better serve you
Thats not a "bricked" phone really should read a bit before using or doing anything to your phone. without being s-off your only going to be able to flash a rom thats same build as your using now. Pending on what M8 revision you have euro or att then you can relock bootloader and run ruu to reset everything. Press power button and both volume up and down, phone will reboot,as soon as it turns off,push power and volume down button. That should get you into bootloader.
