Try fixing permissions and rebooting always works for me. If it doesnt works maybe its the rom u are using cheq on its tread for buggs and fixes
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA
if you keep having problems you can always just flash one of the RUUs and start the unlock process over.
Busybox won't install if you don't have superuser, re-root via hasoon's tool then try installing busybox, the wifi issue on the other hand is gonna require you to most likely flash back a stock RUU, or just try flashing any rom, see if that solves it.
relock the bootloader.
Backup the microSD card
Put the stock rom on the root folder of the SD card.
reboot into bootloader and let it install the stock rom. (it will erase the SD card i think).
Then re-root/re-unlock bootloader....flash away

I have superuser and root access confirmed with a root checker. I can't get any roms to install nor can I find good directions to flashing an ruu. Does flashing an ruu bring you back to stock?

Yes, flashing a ruu restores everything to complete stock, try rooting again, then install busybox, after that, get 4EXT recovery, should be able to install any rom from then.

Did you flash back to a nandroid of stock, or how did you flash back to stock.
Also, which recovery are you using?
Do you have access to a computer you can hook your phone up to?
Recov is 1.0.3 twrp
I download the stock kernel from forum post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197898
and Yes I have access
When I try to put PG86IMG into root directory of the phone and load it with bootloader... I get to the first white screen with the Blue bar on the right loading all the way... then it scrolls a few green lines of code and goes back to the main menu.

Have you tried downloading a stock ROM and flashing it yet?
If it were me, I would download another ROM on my computer, hook my phone up while it's in recovery and transfer the ROM over and flash.
I'm on Hboot 1.4, so I don't know much about flashing on 1.5. But, it's my understanding that you have to flash the kernel separate from the ROM in bootloader? I'm probably wrong though.

Lol, well, at least you got it straightened out.
Do you have a link to the kernel you used with instructions? My phones a mess right now. Have Cyanogen 7 rom. with no wifi or 3G. Cant flash any other rom either, they just get stuck in boot up. Hoping this will at least get my wifi up. No market sucks!

Hey guys I rooted and unlocked my Verizon Galaxy note. I installed some custom roms using the Touchwiz recovery and everything works except... I cannot make any phone calls or text. It says mobile signal or something like that. Did I do something wrong can any one assist me on this matter? I followed the steps on the form as well as several videos showing me how to do this. another question do i need to root first or unlock first? I've done this process over and over again but cannot get my cell phone to make calls or get data, There is like a hazard sign where the data shows.. please help me!

So if I follow the unlock guide. via ODIN and casual I gain root? I'm a newbie to this lol former Iphone user all of this is new to me. I've tried several roms and still have the same issue. Also followed the guides as well. It's very fustrating because I get no where regarding this matter. Even watching the video's and following the steps have led me to be unsucessful..

1. Flash revision3 via odin following the guide in its thread. (This will give you root)
2.Follow the bootloader unlock process in adam's guide from its thread (this will unlock your bootloader and unless hes changed it flash twrp a custom rocovery.)
Now you need to reboot into recovery and make a back up. To do this you need to go into recovery (twrp or clockwork mod). You can get to recovery by powering off the phone and holding volume-up+home+power. Now go to backup and restore back up. If you have an external sd I would recommend selecting the option to backup to it.
After that select a rom you want. If you want stock rooted you dont have to flash anything. Look in your app drawer if you see an app called supersu or super user you're rooted. If you want another rom follow these steps to flash it.
1. Read rom thread for known bugs so you know what youre getting into.
2. Download rom. DO NOT UNZIP.
3. Check md5 sum.
4. Move to external or internal sd where you can find it.
5. Boot into recovery.
6. Select install.
7 navigate to rom file.
8. Swipe to install. If it has aroma follow instructions if not wait for it to do its thing

To do this wouldve meant you flashed a rom not meant for verizion and got another carriers radios. Also did you check in your settings to make sure you didnt switch data off airplane mode or switch off cdma/lte. Is your phone getting service now that you're back to stock?

I believe I have soft bricked my device. Earlier this morning I installed ARHD, it went into the AROMA Installer and went through the process of picking the mods that I wanted, I hit install & as soon as it hit 99 Percent, I was brought back to TWRP as if I didn't flash anything. Feeling confused, I hit reboot system and after the HTC Screen boots up, it takes me directly back to TWRP. I've never experienced anything like this before, what in the world did I do incorrectly? Please help, feel free to chime in.

Well considering you're familiar with fastboot, what I did was relock my bootloader, unlocked it again and this time I installed CWM instead of TWRP, used adb sideload connected my device via usb cable, downloaded the stock ROM from @Mike1986 and pushed it to my device and profit. I learned my lesson not to use the touch screen and to use the power button to navigate through Aroma. I hope this helps..

Ironically I was gonna suggest not using touchscreen twrp, that it might be the problem. Only when using Aroma though (I believe). Touchscreen in Aroma using twrp is known to fubar phones at this point.

im trying to help a user restore a stock t mobile phone. weve tried the recovery linked inthe regular one and t mobile sections(both images are md5 04541031ee82ab95598b3cfbd019ad9c)
we need someone who is unlocked and rooted,yet not permantly flashed recovery to dump the stock one for us. you can simply boot recovery(fastboot boot recovery.img) and make a nandroid,then extract the recovery image,or within the booted OS you can :
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p34 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p34
then when its finished,
exit
exit
adb pull /sdcard/mmcblk0p34
the image will be in your adb/fastboot folder to upload.
reply,or shoot me a PM if you can be of assistance. again- you must have the STOCK reovery installed,and be using a t mobile usa device.
thanks

thanks very much for the info.
sorry about your sd card. i had no idea that would happen or i would have warned you. seems tho lots of things cause the internal sd to be wiped- ive noticed runnign RUUs has this affect also. if this is a fluke i hope they fix it. if its not its a feature i dont care for.
did you try relocking and doing a factory reset? (both of those will wipe your sd ) i think of putting the stock recovery back is to make tampered go away,those things may be needed.
if you dont want the hassle of relocking and factory reset right now,i competely understand. if anyone else tries it please report and thanks again for flashing for us. it did flash back an apparently working,functional stock recovery,correct?

pretty much anyones nandroid is going to be after unlock,not much way around that. if the missing apps and such are a factor,sounds like we may need to find a way to put them back. or a stinkin RUU
im fairly certain that in your case,tampered stayed becasue the phone did not recognize the stock recovery as its own. for all practical purposes,it could have been CW to the phone
but its quite possible that banner will stay regaurdless what we do,short of running a full ruu(wich will put back the missing apps and such)
Thanks for this!
Alright, I have a problem. I unlocked my bootloader, rooted, and had twrp installed. I've flashed back to a stock unrooted T-Mobile .7 ROM. I locked the bootloader just fine.
I cannot update with the latest t-mobile OTA. It boots me back to the bootloader with a Security Warning. I've tried to flash the recovery.img listed in the thread, but it just keeps giving me a signature verify fail.
All I want to do is get this thing back to OTA'ness.

Do you have a T mobile Htc One? It sounds like your not using the right recovery.

Yeah I've downloaded it at least two times already. 3rd times a charm I guess. I'll give it one more go.
Update: It gets about a 3rd of the way through and just goes right to the Red Triangle. The only ROM I had on here before was ARHD, not sure if its something to do with that or not.

Ok well it worked for me so either your not on stock t mobile rom and kernel or you just are not flashing the recovery right. This toolkit is very nice and may help you out if you have not tried it.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2249074
I've unlocked my bootloader, rooted and installed CWM custom recovery. Not surprisingly the Sense 6 update will download but it won't install. I tried to flash it manually with CWM but that won't work either. Again, no surprise.
Is there a workaround that I can use to install the Sense 6 update?

Yes, you need the stock recovery not custom recovery to install the ota plus stock rom installed.

Ok, I flashed stock recovery and the update looked like it was going to install but it failed about a third of the way through and gave me a red triangle. I rebooted and fortunately the phone is still working. I tried installing the update a second time with the same result. Any ideas?

You have to have a pure stock rom. You may have to nandroid a stock or RUU but you have to decide that, but it have to be stock not root or any system file edits. Sorry, missed the bootloader need to be locked.

My rom is stock (Telstra Australia) but I've installed a few Xposed mods. If I do a factory reset I'm assuming that will take the rom back to stock. If I then remove root and relock the bootloader will I then be ok to flash the Sense 6 update?
Mate, I'm having same issue, Telstra Australia.
Check out his thread. I think you need to save three files that get wiped when you unlock bootloader. The update looks for them. I'm still trying to get it to work.

Thanks. I tried the 3 files thing and it didn't work for me probably because the bootloader was still unlocked. I got sick of dicking around with it and decided to try to get S-off which I'd been having trouble achieving with Hboot 2.49. Finally got S-off and then flashed this.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53890999
Cheers.

Which method did you use to gain s-off? I couldn't get it to work.

Nothing was working for me and I'd almost given up but I was pointed to this.... http://firewater-soff.com/instructions/
I was already rooted but for some reason the first method wouldn't work for me. ADB is very new to me so I may have done something wrong even though I tried it a couple of times. I used the second method but didn't use temproot cause I figured as I was already rooted I didn't need it. When I used the commands in the second method S-off was achieved.
The rom I mentioned above looks really good btw.

Yeah it does look pretty slick. Wasn't sure about the large icons through. I watched a review on youtube. Looked a little strange...

Not sure what you are referring to there. I didn't see anything overly large. Was that on the stock launcher? I'm using Apex.
When the OTA update fails and you get the red triangle, have you tried holding the vol up button then pushing the power button?
This should take you to stock recovery and you can see why the update failed...
Might give you a point to work from.

No I didn't do that. I'm on a custom recovery and custom rom now though.
I'm all back to stock with the three files saved. Just waiting for the OTA update to download now.
I'll let you know if it works.
So what's the sense 6 camera app like? I have never really been happy with the camera on the max.

I haven't had a really good look at it but I don't like the fact that you have to tap a button before you choose video. On the old app both camera and video were one tap away. Now if you aren't in video already it's 2 taps.

I ended up getting this to work....
When you save the three files that are missing with a root file manager, you have to save them to \data\preload NOT system\data\preload
Worked a treat after I did this:good:
How did you get firewater to work?
I keep getting a kernel error. It says that my kernel has a anti firewater patch. Very frustrating i just want to be able to lock my bootloader so my finger print scanner works properly again.

That's interesting what you say about the 3 files. Now I know why it wouldn't work for me. Regarding Firewater I just followed the instructions in the link I posted earlier.
I've actually reverted to a Nandroid of my stock Sense 5.5 rom. I like it better than Sense 6.
