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.

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.
(sorry my english)

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.

So I've done this before but it was long ago. I don't remember having to deal with having the PH98IMG.zip. I know there are tons of threads on here but I just kind of need a straightforward answer to the questions. I like to install my roms from the sd card. Where does the PH98IMG.zip need to reside? And do those need need to be changed per the rom? Is this actually the kernel? And so do I have to have my rom on a particular spot on my sd card? I've used CMod recovery LOTS, but that didn't work so well, so I put Amon's on, and it's working. But every time I have tried to install a ROM like I used to with my Inc, I end up stuck at the HTC screen.
Someone whos got some time to just answer these questions, I would greatly appreciate it.
Yes, the ph98 file is the kernel. Most roms include it in the Rom now and use Cons auto installer, but if not yes the file needs to be on the external sd card. Just remember to delete it after you boot up or else you wont be able to reboot to recovery.
So basically have Rom and ph98 on external sd, reboot recovery wipe and install Rom. Then boot to bootloader and it will automatically detect the file and ask you if you want to update. Select yes, then reboot. Once booted up remove ph98 file from sd card.

Also, if you are getting stuck on the white HTC screen most likely you need to flash the kernel for that ROM. If you are on a GB ROM you need a GB kernel, ICS needs ICS kernel. So if you switch from one to the other without flashing the kernel you will get that issue.
The kernels are usually the PHzip files. They can also be flashed in fastboot by pulling the boot.img out and using the following command:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

I have tried both Ineffabilis and BAMF, which I thought they both had the kernel in them. But I still got stuck at the HTC screen. I'm trying to figure out what I am missing. I know how to install thru the manager. I tried it from both the ext storage and then the internal storage. Wiped cache and all that jazz.
I shouldn't have to remove the rom from the card to reboot should I? I never did before. I just checked and yeah they both have the kernel.
I'm perplexed.
Thanks for answering tho. This is buggin the crap out of me.
You know I have had troubles getting my computer to show my ext card...I wonder if that has something to do with it?
I don't have to mount anything in the Amon's recovery do I?

Yes, you only need to flash a ICS kernel when flashing an ICS rom. I think I read that the kernel autoinstaller isn't working properly on ieffibilis. I know I had trouble and had to manually flash the stock OTA kernel to get it booting . I then installed incredikernel beta 6 afterwards.
Nvm about comment on ineffibilis, I just clicked your links and both are ICS roms that you tried. I bet for whatever reason the kernel didn't flash properly so you still have the GB kernel so it won't boot. Actually, both your links show that the kernel needs to be downloaded separately hence the separate link for the PH98IMG file. Download that separate kernel for whatever rom you want to flash and start over.

I did have one of the kernels but I didn't do it first. I'll try that and see if I can get something running. Thanks for your help guys. It's kind of starting to come back to me now. lol I never did really mess with using diff kernels much, just roms. And using Amon is kind of throwing me off.
So flash the kernel. Then the rom. And delete the kernel off the card after installing it. Got any suggestions on a good kernel? Looking for stable.

I put both files on external SD, reboot to recovery.. wipe everything , flash rom.. then back out to main menu in recovery and choose developer menu.. then select reboot to bootloader. Once,in bootloader select fastboot.. it will then check the sd and recognize the ph98zip file and ask if you want to update..select yes and it will install the kernel then just select power to reboot and you should now have rom and kernel installed and it will boot fully into rom. Then remember to remove that ph98 file off the SD card.
I usually just stick with stock, but I have had good luck on ICS with the overlocked stock unsecured kernel that is overclocked to 1.7 . GB , I have had really good luck with incredikernel and anthrax, but anthrax is a tad touchy.
Thanks so much for all your help. There is so much to read thru.
Flashing now!!
I dunno what the hell is wrong, but I just can not get this thing workin. I followed your explanation to the T. I'm sitting here with the white screen again. I watched it flash the kernel so I know it found it. I've never had this much trouble flashing/romming.
I'm trying a diff rom now. I don't know what else it could be.
Holy crap. Wtf. Still nothing. Tried both the above roms. with BAMF kernel. White screen every time. Damn.
Have any ideas anyone? lol

Here try this .. download Nil's newest ICS rom, put at the root of the external SD card, reboot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik, then flash rom. His rom will automatically install the kernel and reboot you into fastboot so you can update the kernel.
Nil's rom's are as stable and easy to install so if you have trouble with his something is wrong with your install process .

Yes, don't put it in a folder. Then , the kernel is not being flashed correctly. It would ask you to update in fastboot and you would have to push volume up to select yes.
1. Download Nil's rom and place at the root of the external SD card.
2. reboot to amon ra recovery
3. Wipe data/factory reset and wipe Dalvik
4. select flash zip menu
5. select the Nil's rom zip and it will ask you to push power to confirm. push power and confirm and the rom should begin installation.
6. Once the rom , is done installing you will be automatically booted into the bootloader then fastboot will be highlighted so push power to confirm. It will then begin scanning your SD card and find the ph98zip file Nil's rom installed.
You should see it parsing.. then it will ask you if you want to update volume up to confirm (yes ) so hit volume up.
It should then show unzipping..installing and done. Only option should show to press power to reboot phone.
7. It will reboot and then should load rom and kernel now correctly.

Yeah see all the other times I installed the kernel, it never asked me, it just automatically went thru the list searching, and would find it and stop when it found it, and install it. Or maybe it stopped and just skipped it?
Now when I installed this rom, I see that it installed the kernel correctly. And yes this rom is working and installed just fine. two things different. Not putting it into a folder, and the way fastboot behaved with the PMimg file.
So do you have any ideas what would make it do that? The PMimg file? There isn't really anything I've done different. I rename it, and put it in the root of the card.
And now I am assuming I can install a rom over this one without changing the kernel, right?

Well, technically you would install a different kernel for the particular rom, but since most of the ICS kernels are basically all the same you would probably be ok as long as its another ICS rom.
Definately have to reflash a GB kernel if you go back to a GB rom though. Not sure why the others didn't work as long as you renamed it correctly to PH98IMG.zip it should have worked the same way.

If you were putting the ROMs into a folder, it wasn't flashing the ROM. It was however flashing the kernel and that left you on a stock GB ROM with an ICS kernel. That's probably why you were getting the white screen.

You'll want to make sure you go into settings, power, and uncheck fastboot. If it's enabled you'll have to pull the battery to use power and volume to boot into recovery. Or you can use an app that will allow you to boot into recovery from the power menu when you long press power. Some ROMs have this built into the power menu. The fastboot setting keeps the device from powering down all the way.

Yeah, I've always had it built into the power button menu, but especially with the way the Rezounds buttons are I would think they'd make that a priority. Thanks for the tip on the settings. I didn't know you could do that.
No problem! Glad you got it going!
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"?

Yes
But you need to flash the kernel!
Easy kernel flasher is the name of the program.
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.
Hit the thanks button for me if you believe I helped.

So you are trying to flash nrgz rom? Did you get the kernel flashed?
Over 10000!!! You bet I am.
I guess its fixed. Just use me and leave I guess.
Over 10000!!! You bet I am.
Haha of course not but I flashed and installed cynogen ICS theme and it worked perfectly!....except my phone couldn't connect to any sort of wireless signals whatsoever. Couldn't even make a phone call so close. Further advice or possibly a better ROM and kernel?

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.
-------------------------------------
Check out my hairless guinea pig
I'm a complete noob, and I probably should have done more research before doing this - Sorry for annoying post if this has occurred already, I couldn't find a post with a solution.
What I did:
Installed adb tools, unlocked bootloader, then rooted it. Then I tried installing cm10.1 following this guy's method(I don't have s-off) :
wwjoshdew - How To Install CyanogenMod 10.1 Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean on the HTC Evo 4g LTE (Sorry, since I'm a noob, i can't post external links)
Everything seemed as if it was going according to plan but when I got to lock screen on first boot, I couldn't touch anything on the screen. Only volume control and power buttons on the outside functioned.
Also, I'm on twrp v2.4.1.0 and I flashed the rom using a app called flash gui on the phone. I made a backup as well, but after restore to backup, the phone just keeps restarting incessantly.
Can anyone help me, explaining in depth what I can do? I'm a complete noob, and I'm sorry if this post is annoying! I've seen that noob video.
Flash gui is only for flashing the kernel, the rom still needs to be flashed separately. If you're running the latest firmware update then you can't use roms that require older binaries (basically all aosp). Either wait for the source to drop, flash an updated sense rom, or go to the mean bean thread and look for the instructions for downgrading the touch panel update.

Do you know how I can just revert back to regular android. I mean I can not do anything except boot into bootloader and recovery, I can't reset or restore. cheers and thanks
No first hand experience and I haven't looked into the issue too much. Better to check the mean bean thread in android development forum
Download and flash a 3.16 based sense rom and you should be fine. I ran into the same problem since i downloaded the lastest twrp. Also don't forget to wipe before installing.

You can download the lastest meanbean v3.06 rom, or any rom that is 3.16 software based. Usually it says it right by the name of the rom on the header. Place the rom zip on your sd card. I usually put all my files in the downloads folder. Then boot into recovery and do a factory reset, then wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, and wipe system. Then go to install and flash the meanbean rom you have in your downloads folder. Then reboot. You should be good to go. Since your S-on try staying with roms that contain the s-on installer. Most 3.16 based roms have the S-ON installer but in the event that one does not you will have to flashboot the boot.img of the rom prior to flashing the rom through recovery. Note: You can only run roms that are based on the latest 3.16 software.

How can I put the rom on the sdcard if I can't excess anything on the phone except for the bootloader...? I can't even access the recovery, because it has become relocked. pretty much all i can access is the bootloader and fastboot, nothing eles, I can't even restore to normal htc sense firmware.
Cheers and thanks

Thanks mate, I'll give that a try. I didn't think about taking the sd out jaja Do what exactly should i do once i put the rom on the sd?
Check out this thread. I believe you can flash the rom through fastboot. I have not done this though. So proceed with caution. Remember it has to be 3.16 based.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Flashing_Guide_-_Android
ROM Flashing
Obtain a ROM of your choice, and note the location on your computer.
reboot your device into fastboot mode via one of the following options.
adb reboot bootloader (requires USB debugging to be turned on).
power off the device then back on with 'vol up' + power button.
Wipe your device.
fastboot -w
Update your ROM.
fastboot update </path/to/your/RomFile.zip>
Your phone will update and automatically reboot into the new ROM.

Follow the steps that Milo put above and hopefully it works. Whenever I screwed mine up and wouldn't recover, I would run the 3.15ruu to put it back to stock.. However if you are on 3.16 I don't believe there is an ruu for it yet, I know captain throwback had something in works though, search for him and check his threads as a last ditch effort.. Best of luck.
Mito that is...

I'm actually on meanbean latest version.
I couldn't do anything else except this
What I did:
- Put the micro sd card in pc
- copied meanbean rom to sd
- put sd card back in phone
- put phone into fastboot
-on pc, I extracted the boot.img from meanbean rom and placed it into android-sdk folder,
- simultaneously pressed shift and right clicked in folder to open command prompt
- in command prompt, type fast boot devices
- then fastboot flash boot boot.img
- on phone, put phone into recovery(twrp) then I installed the rom.
then the phone booted as normal. I'm working to see if I can install the cm10.1 on meanbean, I'm gonna test it to see what happens. I hoped I was able to help.
SvetKrasivaya said:

That's cool, so you flashed the boot.img first after you extracted it and then you went right into Twr precovery and just flashed the rom zip file. And I agree, I don't know if the cm10.1 is for 3.16 or not, and if you flash a kernel and is not right, you're toast, that's why I'm hesitant to flash the cm10.1 zip....

Yes, thats exactly what I did. Once I flashed the boot.img, I booted into recovery and installed the meanrom.
Yeah I feel you mate. I'm going to give it try again, see what happens and i'll let you know how it goes.
Hey, I tried it, and its still doing the same thing...touch screen is not working.

CM will not work with the latest touch panel update. See Captain Throwback's thread in Android Development to downgrade your touch panel software to run non-3.16 roms.

Read the first post carefully. You already did all the hard stuff. Just downgrade the touch panel firmware to the previous version.
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
Went to stock and then unlocked, S is still On
Flashed ClockworkMod 6.0.2.3
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
More Phone Info...
Ver - 4.0.3
Sense - 3.6
Software - 4.03.605.2 710RD
Kernel - 3.0.16-g480e1b0

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
Just saw your location

Well, so I just tried using Nils ROM and it's supposed to be an all in one installer. I can see the installer saying everything is working but when it goes back to the boot loader screen it still isn't seeing the PH98 file...I'm not super familar with using fast boot on my PC as I'm still using older roms that always worked for me before when it came to flashing doing this method.
Sorry to be a pain in the a lol

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...
Good Luck from the mid west!

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
Sent from my Infected Rezound using xda app-developers app
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
