all sorts of members have been posting that they have hboot 1.50 with dev unlocked and are easily flashing ics sense 3.6 roms without installing the virgin mobile firmware.. i havent had such luck... and i cant figure out why. i have tried both the fastboot bypass method and also buying the EXT4 recovery and installing through that as well....nothing works....rom boots up and one the setup screen comes on ...it freezes and boot loops .... can some one that has flashed the new sense roms with hboot 1.50 please help me ...and tell me what ive missed or done wrong...
Same problem here, been told I need to downgrade hboot to 1.4 and s-off...too much of a noob for that! Lol

I had the same problem as you guys. Try flashing the rom and chad's ics leak kernel in 4ext recovery and see if that does it. This worked for me.
thanx

+1 worked for me to. I had to fastboot into recovery first then flash the rom and then the kernel.

Ok, I got my evo 3d about 2 hours ago. I used the roll up sticky to find out how to root. I used htc dev, all went as expected. I now have twrp and superuser. So the first ROM im gonna try is viper rom. I know I have limitations with having used htc dev. So my question is... Do I need to do anything other than flash the rom from recovery? like flash a kernel with flash image gui beforehand? It states in the op that it uses the stock kernel so I think ill be ok with just wiping and flashing but I just wanna make sure. Please be easy on me, as I know this is a noob question that youll say I could have found by searching. I did search a little. Thanks in advance.
Edit..nvm, I got it.

If it uses stock kernel, then wipe everything through recovery and flash. And if after flashing you face any issues , flash boot.img using fastboot then working kernel.zip from recovery.
But i would suggest you to use PC to boot recovery then wipe then flash. So you will face no issues.
Hi. So I installed a 3.14.605.5 leak, and started to have bootloop issues. Prior to this it was s-on, unlocked. I now know I probably needed to flash the ruu twice, but I only did it once. I think I read instructions from a bad source. Since then I've done s-off successfully (since I was on the right firmware) and installed Rezrom s4 2,5. It boots up and works mostly ok, except going to the dialer crashes the phone and reboots it. Every time.
So now I'm wondering what I have to do. do I need to revert back to a leak?
thank you so much...
Try giving stock recovery a flash, factory reset then reflash the rom.

Just out of curiosity, is your hboot showing you being on ics firmware, as it should?
Old firmware patch or new firmware patch is your solution
What rom are you running?

He said rez rom s4 2.5 ... He said he is on ICS firmware but I'm thinking he's still on GB and he may flashed a stock rom instead of the RUU.

That's what I'm thinking
The reason it would bootloop is the audio lib
So anything that produces a sound will cause a reboot
Is this the case cableguy?

^^^ that sounds about right. the dialer and iheartradio will both cause a reboot!
"He said rez rom s4 2.5 ... He said he is on ICS firmware but I'm thinking he's still on GB and he may flashed a stock rom instead of the RUU"
^^^ also very possible! I believe it was this that I flashed initially: Vigor_Stock_Doedexed_3.14.605.5.zip ... so I guess you're right.

Ah...now we see something...you have the latest ICS hboot, 2.25...but an older GB radio...not good to mix and match... So flash [ICS][2.25][JB][5-7]PH98IMG.zip
this file from http://www.androidfilehost.com/main/-Support_Files-/SuperChilPil/
This will flash the joupunut bear hboot and the latest radios... rename to ph98img.zip, boot into bootloader and let it flash. Be sure to delete, change name of the file after. This should work!
ps..if you have a nandroid of your last ICS rom ...give it a try if you want, it might work.

You need to flash new firmware, and I believe you can't unless you are s-off

i'm s-off gsm and i'm using cool ics with kernel.

Hello, i had the same problem as u do. But cool ICS has saved me. I have installed Cool Ics V11 and have his kernel V1.7. Also I`m s-on, unlocked by htc dev. Just follow his instruction how to install the rom. When u finish with installing the rom u need "flash image GUI" app that u will use to flash the kernel. u can find the post about it but its not complicated to use. When u finish that u can use "System Tuner" or "System Tuner pro" to configure your system performance... I de-clock-ed my cpu a bit, set minimum freq to 192 mhz loaded the Gov. that says powersawer; all that u can finde whan u click on cpu icon... u can experiment and see what is the best for your usage....

Forgot to add: I use g-talk, whats-app, instagram, always on (facebook, g+, twitter and Voxer) battery life for me is 14-15h, when i dont use my phone that much battery life is around 2d+

Hi, I`m also s-on, unlocked by htc dev and have a bit old Firmware. Cool ics works for me. I flashed the v11 rom, got boot loops,tried to fix them by flashing boot.img via fastboot from v11 rom and it did not work so i tried to flash boot.img from v7 rom and it worked i`m telling you all this because it may happen to you just in case to be prepared if u decide to flash. when you install the rom then you need "flash image gui" to flash the kernel. It is easy to use. Cool rom has good battery life...

Hey there bulutbeyaz ... also kernel v1.9 is great

You can find flash gui free, newer roms require new firmware thats why you had boot loops on cool version11

Yeah i thought as much, but when you are s-on and there is no hope to get s-off ( tried many ways and only bricked my phone)... you try crazy things .. now v11 works with flash-ed boot.img form v7 and i don`t want to touch anything

I am using Cool-ICS since I find it the only most complete ROM without any major bugs. Its kernel v1.9 has just been released and I can vouch for it that the battery life has only become better. You don't need to be s-off to install this one. Just update your phone to the latest hboot and firmware, unlock it via HTCdev method (that's actually the easy method and which I used as well). Download the Cool-ICS ROM and its latest kernel separately. Do a nand backup in 4ext. Use super wipe (optional) to wipe everything. Flash the ROM first and after booting up first check the kernel version. Then go into recovery again and flash the latest kernel for the ROM.
Cheers.
For the past week or so, I have been looking through this forum and looking for a solution. I have tried many but all have failed. I tried to flash the custom rom Energy but it won't load. I originally had stock Wind ICS rooted using hasoon's all in one tool.
EDIT: I fixed my phone by flashing a kernel but I don't understand why that worked. I was trying random stuff. If possible, can someone explain this to me why this might have fixed it?
Are you s-on? If so then that is why. If you are s-on then you need to be using 4ext recovery with smartflash enabled. Using any other recovery will not flash the kernel when you flash the Rom unless you are s-off

if you are s-on i would recommend that you s-off your phone and supercid it so u can use the t-mobile roms, but yes you should be using 4EXT if you are S-ON to flash roms, if your stuck at the boot screen as long as you can get into recover there is hope.. just flash a different rom or relock ur bootloader and return to stock following one of my posts in this section about returning wind mobile to stock, if you need any further help just let me know

I guess it's because you're lacking the ics firmware.. Flash a GB rom then you'll have a working rom.. You can't flash any ICS, JB rom without upgrading to ICS firmware.. Refer to AJ's ics upgrade thread in general section if you're feeling like upgrading your firmware from GB to ICS

Hello, I have a couple of questions that I want to ask about my HTC Amaze.I am using an HTC Amaze 4g running Speed Rom 8.0 by EclipzeRemix and is on 4.0.4. I want to flash a kernel on my device and wanted to know whether I will need S-Off because I already have an unlocked bootloader. Also I want to know which kernel I should flash, because when I google it all of the kernels I found say gingerbread so I am not sure whether it would work on my phone.

You should be S-Off when flashing a *kernel*.
and go here for faux kernels : http://faux.androidro.ms/ruby/beta/
those are ICS i believe . but they're other kernel's such as nightmare's kernel .

thats wrong.. you do not need to be s-off to flash a rom anymore... however you should be using 4EXT recovery when trying to flash a rom, since 4ext has "smart flash" option to flash the kernel properly .. and as for what kernel that could be used for the Amaze.. i only know of the Faux Kernel found here
