I recently rooted my amaze (unlocked bootloader first, so perm root) and then proceeded to put the BeastMod rom on the phone via recovery mode. My issue is i have been getting a lot of restarts and force closes and I want to see if i can just return to the normal root (i assume it is just stock sense or something). I would say my understanding and skills are beginner level, so if someone could give me some instructions on how to do this it would be helpful.
I have downloaded the RUU for t-mobile already and I just need to know what to do and if I need to re-lock, or unroot, or whatever.
thanks!!!

what exactly do you want to do? go back to stock root??? what does that mean? RUU's are not rooted. There are rooted stock roms you can download.

I try my best but it's difficult when I work up to 16 hours a day about 5 days a week. I need help with all the Q&A. There are always at least 30 Q's and only maybe three of us giving the A's.
Well, I feel your pain, i was admin on another forum (not tech, but still)...so thank you for your hard work. It probably gets overlooked.
In your experience, is beastmod stable?
I have followed all the instructions and done as I was told, and it keeps crashing a lot. I read somewhere that taskkillers can do damage custom roms. Maybe that's it? Idk.

I try me best to help out. I'm up late nights, so I usually try to help people on here its 4:21 am in LA right now. Hey binary if you don't mind do you have an instant message, facebook, google plust anything to contact you and chat sometimes its faster to do that then keep posting on pages and populating them with things unrelated, if you're not comfortable that's always fine, i won't be offended or take it personally.
Also, say I was to go back to factory (out of the box)
I would have to relock bootloader, install the PH85IMG.zip for TMo, and would that be it. Would I have to flash another kernal or do anything with that?

correct...you don't really have to to flash another kernel since faux's is really based on stock assuming you installed faux's kernel, you should probably go back to stock kernel...also flash recovery back to stock. search development and you'll find how to do all these.

I have everything however I don't like to use it very much because my employer likes to check for confidential information on it. Several of my co-workers have had their nuts cracked because of FB so everything is private and I only include people that I physically know such as close friends and family. You can catch me on Google Talk but I don't always have a chance to log on because I work. Although I'm always in front of a computer, I can't afford to be distracted so I don't log on very much anymore. I'll PM you my SN.
Ok, well I was using the kernal provided by X in his beastMod listing. So should i get faux? I will search the other topics. and by recovery you mean back to stock instead of CWM?
I just need the ability to take my phone in the Tmo and have it be like new out of box (warranty and all)
you've been helpful as well. thanks.

YOu will NOT have warranty anymore. you unlocked your bootloader, even if you lock it back it they will know...It warned you that you will void your warranty...and so did many pages on this forum...if you get lucky sometimes they do honor it...however you will be able to go back to out of the box.
check your version of software by going to settings, about phone, software information, software number, then download that software number listen in this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1335703.
Follow direction in the page to get back to complete stock...THATS ALL...don't worry about kernel or anything else.
Haha, figured as much. I meant more along the lines that a customer rep wouldn't notice right off hand ha.

If you want to receive over the air updates, you must also flash stock recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412974&highlight=stock+recovery
and relock your bootloader...search in development, or the HTC website where you unlocked your bootloader tells you how to do it, in the email they sent you, follow that link.

On the contrary, you don't need to re-lock your bootloader. I installed the last OTA with the bootloader still unlocked. Maybe I'm special though.
I would probably leave it unlocked till absolutely necessary. That way I could perm root again if wanted.
Also I never got your opinion on if task killers are deadly to roms?

Hate to spit hairs here but it actually warns you that you MAY void your warranty. If there is a physical problem or manufacturers defect there should be no reason for them to deny warranty due to unlocked bootloader.
so i had this problem with my phone that about a 1 cm margin on the right side of my phone just doesnt respond and before you ask yes i factory reset and even went back to stock rom, but it just wouldnt fix it.
so had this problem for about one month and i got extremely annoyed with it ESPECIALLY because i got this phone when it came out so i still have more than a year left with this phone.
so i finally decided to give HTC an email about it.
they promptly responded with an email with a phone number for me to call and check on my warranty and talk about repairing my phone.
i called like a couple minutes ago and after like five minutes of staying in phone call limbo and listening to some catchy elevator music i got through to someone who sounded like she was tired because she slurred her words. it was not a bother for most of my friends talk like that. anyways back to the subject, i told them id numbers and told them that my LDI(liquid damage indicator) was white, which means no water damage. and she said
"well it seems everything is in order, your warranty is still in effect and we can replace your device's screen and you can have it back within two weeks for free you would just have to pay about ten dollars for shipping."
Eh i didnt care as long as i get this **** fixed. BUT THEN
i had to ask the question
what if i unlocked my bootloader?
she slowly responded with "well i'm sorry but that would void your warranty"
FUUUUUUUUUUU-
then i proceeded to ask her why, she said that if i sent in the device then more than just the screen would have to be replaced because they would have to get something with a locked bootloader. i asked how much...
$200 without shipping
well right now i am slamming my head into the wall for the unfortunate turn that happened.
i just thought to post this to let the community hear about.. well just to tell somebody, post your thoughts
Just relock it, go back to stock and send it in

dude! just make a cover up and re-lock your boot loader... they dont need access to anything to replace the screen.
its litterally like a couple screws, pull the phone apart, disconnect a ribbon cable, pull old screen out, put new in, and so on... (they dont need in your hboot)
so just lock it, call back, and tell them whats going on. dont mention anything about hboot/unlocking. just let them fly into it blind
i was thinking that but do you think that would work??
for some reason i think that it will leave type of footprint and then i get a call from HTC saying
"your device has had an unlocked bootloader, please fork up 200 bucks"
also another thing, do you think if i actually do that would it be safe to go back to stock rom, in case they test it and see the custom rom and sayWTFBBQSAUCE
F#$k that, send it without the battery and relock it lol

Use the S-Off method, but do not install Juopunut's HBOOT. It will say your phone is locked instead of relocked. Then you can use a fastboot command to make it S-On. They won't have a damn clue what hit them!
thanks everybody,
i dont think i will have to s on my bootloader because i have yet to s off.
this exact reason was why i was holding off on s off because that will definitely void the warranty, well i think i will start my journey on locking my bootloader,
so just to make sure, what should i exactly do.
this is what i think i should do
go back to stock rom, i think(btw if anybody has the stock rom, help me out)
lock bootloader,
lose root?
and then im set?
regardless i will wait untill this weekend to do any of that because i am busy during weekdays,
Also, to get s off, wouldnt i just have to do a command like 'oem lock'
or something like that

Well, most likely, your warranty would not be void due to your bootloader being unlocked regardless of what the rep told you. As long as rhe issue with the phone is a hardware issue, which yours certainly is, it should still be covered by the warranty unlocked or not..

Alright so long story short I tried to rush through rooting my new phone here without checking everything out too much (complete fail on my part...but I wanted it rooted before I went out to the bars to save some battery life haha...ironic, now I'll have no phone tonight).
I went to root it and it somehow got screwed up...the sense launcher wasn't showing up along with the fact that when I pulled down the notification bar and hit settings, it crashed, so I went to unroot it with the RUU 1.13.651.1 and when I got to the comparison screen it said I had 1.13.651.1_R2...and being already frustraited at this point, decided how worse could it get? Tried it out, not my brand new phone is stuck at the black htc screen....fail.
Anyone have any suggestions on what to do? I tried running it again to no avail...I'm about to try the other RUU to just see if it works, but I'm running out of other ideas. Anyone that can help, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Well, the good news is the phone is not hard bricked, it has a soft brick and is recoverable. Redownload the RUU and try again, but make sure you have the correct one. If that doesn't work you'll have to unlock with htcdev, flash a recovery and flash a ROM. Then try the RUU again if you no longer want root.
Like others have said...it sounds like there is hope for your phone yet. Take your time and CAREFULLY follow instructions for whichever process you choose. Hopefully you post again later saying you were able to fix it.

First off don't feel too bad, No matter how sure you know what your doing we all make mistakes. I paperweighted mine while manually installing some mods last night. If you would of watched the how to RUU the evo lte you would of seen that that the black HTC screen is perfectly normal. The phone will sit on that screen for like 10 minutes sometimes it will reboot and sometimes you will get differnt screens. The key is to have the drivers handy and install them if ur PC ever calls the device android 1.0.
The RUU version 1.13.651.1_R2 is the one you should be using. As scary as it is you just need to be patient, and let the RUU run it may look like nothing is happening but something is.

I did do a quick search, but didn't find anything
I'm s-on running ViperRez 1.0.3 I put that on after the global RUU screwed everything up horribly. I was still having issues with overheating, but the guy at the Verizon store said they weren't exchanging any rezounds because they were still working out bugs. So, I decided to wait until it was cooler out to see if I was still having the issues, and they've only been getting worse. Anyhow, I want to take it back to as stock as I can to try exchanging it. I'm just really afraid of bricking it, since after a post on another forum about the issues I've been having.
Can someone give me the right steps, in order; or even be willing to walk me through it? When I flashed ViperRez, I had somebody from here help me out on google talk, that was really helpful.
Thanx,
Justin

Guess, I am not sure if you ran the Ruu successfully.. download file from previous post . Place on your Sd card. Make sure you relock phone if unlocked, if you HTC dev unlocked you should know how to relock.
Rename file on Sd card to PH98IMG.zip, just delete the androidpolice heading is the easiest. Boot to bootloader and press power button, it will start parsing the Ruu and ask if you want to update.
Press volume up to say yes ,then let it run. It will take awhile and run twice. It should then reboot and your back to factory
Just thought of something...if you did upgrade to the global Ruu..can't downgrade unless S-off...

Thank you for that link. I thought I read somewhere about making sure to relock the bootloader or the phone will brick.

Won't brick it just won't run the Ruu, hope it works for you !

This may be kind of pathetic, but I've been racking my brain, and can not remember how to relock it. I'll have to search around.
My phone isn't charged enough to try it right now anyway. Needed to use it to record a school project for my wife. I plugged it in, turned on the camcorder and after about 2 hours, it went from being fully charged to 19% Awesome!!

First off bro.. you won't be able to brick that phone s-off. I assume its possible but I haven't heard of it happening. So don't worry about that.
The command for relocking is
fastboot oem lock
Granted.. you must have the android SDK installed and have a basic understanding of fastboot

I think I messed up somewhere along the line. Who wants to save me. I assumed the link provided a few posts back was the same file as what I had already downloaded sometime back. Which I have saved on my computer in a folder I labeled .2 RUU so...
I copied that to the sd card
relocked the bootloader
let it do it's thing
hit <VOL UP> to start the update
It went through everything and booted to the bootloader again, so I'm trying the update one more time.
PLEASE HELP
EDIT: Just had to flash it a couple of times

Pull battery and then put it back in and see if it boots, otherwise use the link I provided and run that Ruu . No reason that a proper Ruu shouldn't run .

Felt like updating this...
Got it back to stock, went to Verizon, got a replacement phone shipped out. That phone got here today, still having all the old problems, plus more. The really awesome thing is, the screen isn't even solid on this one. It's raised on all sides and I can press it down, slowly comes back up over about 2 minutes. Going to Verizon again tomorrow to see what to do this time. I haven't shipped my old one back yet, as it just came in today.
Did they send you a new battery with the phone?
Have you rooted the replacement yet?

Had the screen lift issue on my first replacement. My second replacement was better...the screen wasn't lifting, but it wasn't solid feeling either. The USB port on that one died, and on this one, the screen is great.
No battery, they said to come back in if I'm still having the heat issues. Haven't rooted the new one yet, as I'm wanting to get it replaced because of the screen issue.
first i am new and dont know a lot about software/android
i used this guide to try to flash the liquid jelly bean
androidauthority.com/galaxy-note-i717-android-4-1-1-liquid-jelly-bean-custom-rom-114126/
since the ROM download link wasnt working i downloaded it from here
android.gs/install-liquidsmooth-custom-rom-on-att-samsung-galaxy-note-i717-android-4-1-2-jelly-bean/
in the first link i followed the steps BUT forgot to do a clean/wipe the factory data
now after the flashing completed i hit reboot now and waited 6min than i tried to hold down the power button and nothing. took out battery and try to restart but nothing
how do i go back to either the reflashing or to my old ICS flashed version (using tmobile sim with forced 4g)?
My battery was full and every time i try to plug it to my pc it keeps telling me to format the sd/internal storage.
Pull battery and put back
Hold power and both volume buttons
At Samsung screen, release ONLY power
Keep holding volume, recovery will come up
Wipe data/factory reset.
Wipe cache partition
While you're at it, go to Mounts and storage - Format system
Reinstall ROM

Added step: Pray its not bricked. Liquid likes to turn phones into good looking paper weights.

no response from the phone expect when i connect to pc it keep telling me to format the internal storage.
what options do i have to fix this
The phone is likely bricked ...
The link you used is likely the same one another user tried yesterday.
It's not an I717 rom....it's actually a GS3 rom, and when flashed, instantly bricks the device.
You likely need a JTAG repair on the device, as it is hard bricked with no download mode.
Very sorry, it's a bad deal...but users "must" verify rom sources before flashing...
The link you used has bricked your device....g
Someone needs to report to the writer that they're referring people to an incorrect ROM. Granted its not their fault but damn. People do whatever the internet tells them to and we already have enough "bricked" threads.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
so just one thing
should i try the usb download mode dongle thing first or try the JTAG service and are which ones on AMAZON are compatible with att note
Concerning this issue, there is room for improvement by devs and users both.
I have to say many of the liquid items are not organized well. After so many issues due to this you would think at some point they would be cleaned up. Also while I agree folks should confirm they have the correct rom,files,etc before flashing, it takes verry little to add safeguards to a rom making it device specific so it will not flash to an unintended device.
Just my two pennies.

Agreed....
Very sorry, but it's toast until a JTAG restore is performed.....
And I agree with the above poster that the liquid links are a mess...
This is the second brick in a day I'm aware of, and I'm looking into reporting the faulty rom.....g

I'm in the process of that, and would appreciate the help of others sending reports also.
The mis-labeled rom is a bad damn deal.....g
---------- Post added at 06:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:25 PM ----------
I've contacted the general operations team for the site offering the rom...
I've also emailed the author of the site and asked for removal of the build..
It's really all I can do from here, as the build is hosted in Romania......g
oh man today has just been a bad luck for me
bricked my note
got two different blue screen error
burned myself while trying to shape metal
i will try to ship it to the JTAG
just one more thing do i need to get the usb dongle for $6 and also do i need to get the sim unlock.
when i bough the phone i had bough a unlocked version, will i be able to do that myself or since he is restoring it, it will need to be redone
No parts needed, and you'll likely need to unlock again..
Good luck with the note repair, and I'm sorry your day has sucked so badly.
It'll get better ...g

I recently just went through the same exact thing, downloaded the same link and BOOM.......nice paper weight! But since my phone is from AT&T and I am in my first year, i just took it to the service center and they replaced it without asking any questions. Not sure where you live , but try the service center, not saying it's a guarantee, but maybe , just maybe, you'll get lucky

And what you did here and what you are recommending is fraud. You voided the warranty when you rooted it and flashed a custom rom to it. I wouldn't say you got lucky I would say you cheated the system
