So this is my first time doing this, but my device is S-OFF unlocked and had the ICS firmware on it including the 3.14 Kernal.
So i decided to flash Newts rom , i erased the big 3; 3 times and installed the rom from recovery menu, then i used this script http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419587 to flash the sense4 boot.img file that is attached.
Now my kernal is version 3.014 or something like that and im getting force closes on the backup assistant and stock email app. Did i mess up somewhere or should i reflash the ICS kernal 3.14?
It probably wouldn't hurt to just reflash the ROM over top of what you have. Wipe cache and dalvik first. If you're S-Off, the boot.img will flash in recovery just fine.

I just reflashed both files and the same issues persists, the img.boot file that comes with the rom downgrades my kernal.
Also another issue is that my 32gb card is only showing 100kbps even after reflashing and reformatting.
The kernel should be packaged with the ROM.
Hmmmm. Maybe do a full wipe, then reflash the ROM?
Or you could try Sebastian's ICS kernel. Its working great for me on Venasaur.

Yea i see the kernal get installed with the ROM but once everything is done, still the kernal version is lower than when i was on stock ICS RUU.
Since you're S-Off, try it without the script.
That script is for the S-On types.

The kernel version should not matter if the Rom works
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
The kernel that comes with the Sense 4 roms is modified to work with them, it's not going to be the same version level as the RUU most likely. Also, since you're s-off, it gets flashed automatically, stop flashing it separately.

I unlocked the bootloader and rooted it okay... then I flashed a ROM, that also worked fine. I tried to flash a kernel and now it just gets stuck on the HTC screen. I tried restoring my back up, still the same issue. Tried reflashing the ROM, same issue. Not sure how to get it back to normal at this point.
It sounds like the kernel you flashed is either a 2.3.3 kernel that doesn't work on 2.3.4, or it was a bad flash. You should be able to fix this by holding volume down when booting up (opens HBOOT) then choose Recovery and from the recovery you can then either enable USB Mass Storage device and transfer a stock kernel over USB to your SD card then flash the stock kernel, or if you already have a stock kernel on your SD card, you can just select it from the install from zip menu and flash.
This Kernel should work fine (it's stock with CIQ spyware removed):

and after I flash this kernel it should be back to normal.... or should I try to flash a ROM all over again as well? As long as it can definitely be fixed then that's quite alright.... this phone compared to the Epic (which I came from) seems like it's much less fail safe to me.

ROMs usually have kernels. You could just wipe Dalvick cache and cache and flash your original rom (which has it's original kernel). and that should work.
There's a sea of roms. You could try posting on a rom's thread whether a particular kernel is compatible. Just follow the spin of things. Saves from just going round in circles.

Here's a scenario: If you installed a rooted stock 2.3.4 rom then decided to install Silverneedle kernel, your phone will get stuck in this boot-loop because the silverneedle kernel is not compatible with 2.3.4 yet. So by flashing a stock kernel over what is already on there, it should fix the problem. Before you flash the stock kernel clear cache and dalvik. After that flash the kernel and reboot the phone. Chances are it will boot normally. I doubt you will have to reflash a ROM to fix this.
Just cleared the dalvik and the cache, reflashed the ROM hoping to start completely fresh and its still getting stuck...

Then flash a stock kernel. I have had the same problem before. I flashed a ROM, installed a kernel and stuck at HTC boot screen. The fix is to either install a stock kernel through bootloader or flash another ROM in recovery. If you want the best chance of it working the first time, then flash the stock rooted 2.3.4 ROM by xhausx. If you want to try other ROMs and kernels, make sure that your ROM and kernel are compatible. Also use the synergy wipe zip file before flashing to make sure everything is formatted properly. Also, did you flash the extra firmwares that came with the 2.3.4 update? If not, make sure you flash those along with the new radio that just came out.

Not sure about any extra firmwares actually.... currently going to try flashing xhaus' ROM and hope that works...
Flashed the superwipe before flashing the ROM, then flashed the ROM... it went to the HTC screen for a second then just vibrated and then turned black.
When I go into the bootloader when it is loading up the images.... it kept saying "No Image!" for all of them. I'm not having any luck with this at all.

You need the appropriate kernel for the rom to run properly. Kernels for each rom should be listed in the rom thread. If you are on hboot 1.5 you will have to flash the kernel separately in the bootloader or with the Flash GUI app.

so even with me messing up the kernel once if i find the correct kernel everything will revert and work? because when i flashed miui it stuck on the startup screen and never loaded past that so if i find the kernel that solves everything?
I would at least wipe cache and dalvik after flashing the kernel. If you run into problems, you may need to fully wipe, then install the rom from stratch, then install the kernel right after.

Well yeah thats the problem i did it using the flash gui app...the first kernel i tried which was a tiamut kernel didnt load....so i used rcmix_3d_evo_kernel...it accepted, when it went into reboot. it never loaded after that. But now when i go into my recovery...i can actually unpack that zip now. when beforehand, it would alwasy fail...does that mean something? im trying the way you just said by flashing it, then wipping the dalvik and cache and then flashing my rom, basically right now im bricked unless this works, and the way to help me not be bricked doesnt work because megaupload has been seized so i cant get the cwm to make my sd card. RUU doesnt work to flash it back to stock. Im pretty much stuck with a bricked phone...hopefully i find a way around this. theres a thread on here that refers to other people being bricked from this exact kernel.

Hey you really helped me, i ended up being bricked but what i had to do was flash the kernel twice or idk exactly which worked but i had to fastboot flash the boot.img from the ROM i were gonna use and flash the kernel...now all of my things are back working, 4g, wifi,video playback and everyting...the thing is the kernel was a defective kernel IF NOT FLASHED CORRECTLY.
I'm on amonra 3.12b, I've tried several times to restore a backup. I was recently on Scott's GBE rom and wanted to try out Joelz new ICS rom. Well his ICS rom was giving me problems so I tried to restore the GBE rom backup, but my phone wouldn't boot up, I was stuck at a black screen, but it was still backlit.
I did the nand backup properly, I didn't get any errors. I left all the options as they where I don't touch anything with the check boxes. I then did a wipe/factory reset and then I restored the nand backup of the GBE rom I made earlier. It restored fine, no errors. I don't understand why my backups arent working? Thankfully I still had Scott's rom on my sdcard so I just flash that again and it worked. I have no problem flashing roms, for some reason I just can't seem to restore any backups.
Yesterday, I went through this same problem but with a different error. I was trying to flash Joelz rom but it wouldn't work, so I tried restoring my GBE nand backup but amonra gave me an error. "oops...something went wrong! please check recovery log".
As you can see I'm having a tough time troubleshooting this problem so any help would be very much appreciated, b/c it's getting to be a pain having to re-flash a rom every time I wan't to switch and having no safety net in case something happens, can't backup anything. Thx!

That's correct but you may get a mainver error when you try to do that depending on what kernel/mainver you have.
I have run into that a couple times but it is simple to fix by editing the text file in the kernel to match the mainver version.

Well if you are using 4ext recovery (which i highly recommend, best recovery ever made)then there is an option that asks if you are are s-on and you click yes because you are s-on which then allows the recovery to flash any kernel (given its compatible of course) as if you were s-off. That should work, if for some odd reason (for me 4ext never failed even when i was s-on while flashing kernels) it doesnt work then i would suggest attempt to s-off your device via wire trick but be sure to read up thoroughly before you attempt that as some people have bricked their device doing so.
Edit: also i would suggest wipe all partitions except sd card then flash rom and then flash kernel right after to avoid issues.
Could I try to flash a kernel first before flashing. I tried looking for a kernel all day and can't seem to find 1. I used the mobility ota Kernel which does not seem to work.

Hmm I haven't heard of that kernel before and there aren't many to choose from on this device. First off do you have the ICS ruu? If so just flash faux's kernel with any of theroms that are based off of sense 3.6. Here is the link that is also under the development section of the forums http://faux.androidro.ms/ruby-faux123-kernel-v017.zip for the ICS version ROMs (most of them are) I would suggest speedrom 7.5 as I found it pretty decent for a sense based rom. But you have to flash the ROM first then the kernel but if I recall 4ext recovery with the feature of s-off automatically flashes the kernel that is packaged with the rom it just ends up having to boot twice. So first just flash one of the new sense 3.6 ROMs via 4ext recovery - settings-recovery-check smartflash on and then flash the ROM kernel should automatically flash
Edit: stumbled across this in faux kernel thread might help if 4ext still doesn't work
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359951&page=181
I also had the wifi error problem for some reason when I tried to flash Speedrom 6.5 and 7.0 coming from Supersaiyan 3. Kinda fixed itself after installing Speedrom 7.5/7.6 so maybe try these two steps and it might work for you:
1 ) Of course make a backup
2) When flashing a new or old rom I always Wipe/Factory Reset from 4ext and then just clear dalvik cache, then install whatever rom you like. Never had any probs with this method such as the wifi error you're encountering. Just never got bt error.... weird...
Btw what rom are you currently on?

Bro its most likely a kernel issue you are facing WiFi issues usually are due to the incorrect kernel flashed or the kernel not flashed at all with the ROM however I would suggest that you flash the stock ruu file (however you will lose both root and recovery but those are easy to reinstall using hasoons tool or various other methods) I say this because this way you will know for sure if you have a hardware or software problem for sure. WiFi should work with stock ruu from your carrier (make sure to download your carrier specific ruu).if you feel you can do s-off via wire trick and then super cid your amaze you will be able to flash any and every ROM for the amaze. I have a suspicion that the ROMs that are out are based off of T-Mobile ruu and people with mobilicity have their amaze super cid to work with any carrier.however did you try flashing cm10 via 4ext maybe since that has an aosp kernel and if flashed with smart flash option in 4ext it may work.

Yea it could be the kernel because the thing you said about the 4ext recovery telling you that its loading the saved boot.img is what I always get and whenever i do get it, the rom always works perfectly. Also which version of speedrom did u try because I had the problem when I was using both 6.5 and 7.0. Try flashing the Supersaiyan 3 rom and then choose faux kernel from the AROMA INSTALLER. Then wipe as I told you in the posts before and then flash speedrom. It worked like that for me. Sorry if you still dont have luck!

Well OK I really want this to work for you after you mentioned the boot.IMG issue it may be that you need to flash an insecure boot image first. Here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1223086&d=1343307912 for s-on people this usually needs to be flashed via fastboot and not recovery. However since 4ext recovery seems to be an exception to almost every rule regarding recoveries it may be able to flash it. If not just flash via fastboot I posted the forum topic link that this issue has been discussed on in one of my previous posts in this thread. I'm positive this is your problem now.
