Go easy on me guys I tried looking for the answers for the last 3-4 hours. ;/
I already rooted my phone using this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1310115
and unlocked the bootloaded as well using the htcdev website.
And I would like to install beastmod. I went through the faq and the whole bit but still have questions and still a tad bit confused. I even went online to google and search the forum.
I know this is the official thread for beast mod
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1313017?referrerid=922386
I have unlocked the boot loader, do I need to flash the kernel still? This is where I am confuse.
I read the
"FAQ for the HTC Amaze 4G. Read Frequently Asked Questions before you post a question!"
and
"HTC AMAZE ROM Bible - Everything you need to know"
I'm coming from a Blackberry which I used for almost 6 years.
I'm just kinda stumped right now as far as steps I need to take if any prior to installing Beastmod. I have never installed a rom before but I figure I ask the questions above before attempting anything.
Forgive me if i'm wrong everyone, but i think the Kernel is already cooked into the ROM. So no need for flashing a kernel after flashing the ROM.
I too am new to the HTC Amaze. I'm coming from a Samsung Galaxy S2 and was also running BeastMod v4.0. And God is this a pain in the butt to root. Last HTC phone i had was a HTC TouchPro. WinMo6 ftl
Really? What made you go to the Amaze? I came in T Mobile store thinking I was going to walk out with the S2 but after 3 days I ended up leaving with the Amaze, just seemed like a better phone.
Have you installed beastmod on your phone going?
Oh i still have my SGS2, just got really bored with it dev wise. Too many Roms with pretty much the same things. BeastMod was really the only ROM that stood out. Just got my Amaze last night, so i haven't even been able to try to root it yet. I've been reading alot of tutorials, and it sounds fairly easy....just alot of steps than what i'm used to. But so far, i'm really liking the Amaze over the SGS2. Sense and the camera are a WIN!
As far as I can tell from reading the official BeastMod first post you do need to flash the kernel.
That message below is right in the change log.
"**FULL WIPE REQUIRED FOR v2.2.0 and Kernel Flash**
YES!
You must flash the Kernal with Kernal Flasher
We do not have S-off... Security Off
So Kernals can not be buried in the rom they have to be seperate. We do not anticipate S-off any time soon. Since bootoader is unlocked we can use ADB to push the kernal. VIOLA! for us mere mortals the mighty DEV have created a tool that does it for us!
I just want to help. I find it hard to believe you did not see this in like every Xboarder ROM thread there is! Follow instructions on front page of the ROMs. They are explicit.
Feel free to PM if you have issues though. Amaze is my first Android phone and I cut my teeth with it so I should be a good resource. Cheers
I still do not see that thread, I just looked. I;ve spent a few hours on this but still determined to do it.

How do you think I feel?
Alright so fact, need to flash kernel 1st.
Alright I found this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1328141
Which I assume its the correct one.
I am confused at number 4,
4. Place the boot.img that you want to be flashed in the Kernel-Here folder.
Which boot.img? The one thats included in beastmod?
and 5
5. Make sure adb is enabled on your phone via settings
adb?
You always flash the ROM first then the Kernel.

I don't know what you mean by that could you be more specific please?
Do you see on the BeastMod thread where you downloaded the ROM?
Underneath it, it says "Kernel for 2.2.0" that is the boot.img download it.
As for ADB under settings this is just referring to "USB debugging" turned on.
Put the boot.img in the "Kernel Here" folder which is in the "Kernal Flash Tool v3".
Then after run the flash.bat (windows) or flash.sh(mac) file in that tool folder.
That should do it.

And where are you still having problems?
That's what I thought but I wanted to make sure that what I needed to do, I was semi sure but I do not want to brick my phone by doing a step I was not suppose to.
ADB is a confusing term debugging makes a lot more sense and that is what I figured but I did not see any reference between adb and debugging mode.
So after following these steps, this will install beastmod?
I saved my contacts, sms, and call logs using a program called supa back up, they were saved on my sd card.
Anything else I need to know?
And thank yo for taking the time to fill in the gaps I really do appreciate and hopefully this thread will help anyone else that was confused as I was.
UPDATE
Does the phone need to be in any specific mode? I have it as Disk Drive and after running the bat I get a msg saying error device not found" and "waiting for device"

The boot.img is the kernel. Flashing it doesn't mean you have BeastMod.
You need to download BeastMod and flash it through recovery to get BeastMod on your phone.
Remember to wipe data, wipe dalvik and wipe cache.
After you flash the ROM then you flash the kernel using the tool.
Sometimes the kernel needs to flashed twice to fix any issues you might have after flashing a ROM and new kernel.
First boot takes longer and after first boot, once the phone settles, reboot again.
Your phone needs to be in "charge only" and not "disk drive" for ADB to recognize it.
do not worry about bricking your phone, you actually cant since there is no s-off yet + htc hasnt released much of the sources so pretty much ur phone is locked and cant brick it.
OK I did the flash.bat, phone restarted.
So in order to install the beastmod, do I copy the beastmod file I downloaded into the sdcard? Then reboot and install it through recover?
How do I wipe the data?

Yes. Copy the zip you downloaded on to your sdcard then reboot into recovery.
Volume down + power.
Once in recovery you should have options.
First do a backup.
Then look for the options to wipe data/factory reset.
Then usually wipe cache and wipe dalvik are under the "advanced" option.
I do believe you have a custom recovery so your options might be different.
Navigate around to find the options to wipe all your data.
After you wipe then you navigate to "apply update from sdcard" and then "choose zip from sdcard" select BeastMod and flash it.
You should be ready to go.
Sorry my instructions aren't specific as I haven't rooted my Amaze or flashed a custom ROM.
So I don't know what your recovery looks like.
I am going off my experience with 7 MT4Gs and 2 Sensations.
The steps should be pretty basic when flashing a ROM anyway.
I understand that for someone who is new at this reading the instructions might seem complicated at times.
I'm just trying my best to reword those instructions for you and put it steps you can understand.
Alright, final question, do I need to make a folder for the files that in the zip folder or do I just copy them to the sdcard2 directory as the way its shown when you un zip the beastmod.zip file?

Don't unzip it. Just place the entire thing on your sdcard.
If you're flashing the ROM through recovery you should not need to unzip it.
It's just placing it on your SDcard and flashing it.
ooooh
I will try it right now then.
OK
Off topic question, Cynogen is a mod like Beastmod correct?
UPDATE
Alright its been flashed yay it works lol. Do I need to flash the kernel again? I did it before, do i have to do it afterwards as well, you mention that earlier.
Boy it looks so different...... so the Sense theme is still there but just hidden in some sort of way? Will they ever disable the security on this phone or is that permanent?
Dude if the admin are smart they will PIN this thread. I am a computer guy I fix them for a living mod the etc and damm this was a pain in the ass. The information is there but its missing certain details and its scattered, I searched around and sort of has the jist of it but honestly they should make a faq on how to more or less how its detailed in this thread, would save a lot of time and effort.
This forum is so awesome! lol
This is going to need some getting use to....
Any advice on what to do next? lol Like I said this is the 1st time I've own a phone that is not a blackberry...
I am trying to install Fresh ROM 4.2 on my Evo 3D.
The instructions at geekfor.me (sorry, can't post direct link since I'm too new--search Google for fresh rom 4.2) have a terse warning about people like me with HBOOT 1.5. (Yes, I used the HTC unlocker.) I am supposed to download boot.img first, install it with Flash Image GUI, then install the ROM via recovery mode.
OK, so I got the boot.img installed OK, but when I go back into the bootloader, highlight RECOVERY, then press the power button, all that happens is I boot right back into the main OS.
I am supposed to use RECOVERY to install new ROMs, right?
I'm at a loss for what to do with the next step. I've tried searching forums, but each search comes up with a new, novel theory, unfortunately, and so far none seem to apply to my case.

Sounds like you got into the HBoot menu OK, but might have either not installed the recovery properly, or not at all.

Thank you. That could be true.
What recovery do you recommend for Evo 3D?
Seems like TWRP is popular, but it appears their recovery-twrp-shooter-1.1.1.img is broken as all I get is (remote: image error! (BootMagic check fail)) when installing it over fastboot.
CORRECTION: *I* had a bad copy of their .img file.

Per #3 above, I had a bad download of the .img file. But I do have that utility, and it's nice.
I tried flashing CWM through RomManager without first being HTCDev unlocked. Duh!
But now it seems I have no recovery at all. If I try to reboot into recovery I just end up at the bootloader with no option for recovery. If I power off and then boot up with pwr+vol dn, I get to the bootloader with the recovery option, but if I select it I go to a screen that says:

I don't plan on installing custom ROMs so I'd like to just get back to the stock recovery.
Help appreciated.
If you're not going to flash ROMs why you even messing around with rom manager and CWM? Anyways go to development section and find the CWM thread. There you'll find a link for the stock recovery that you have to flash via terminal emulator.

I used CWM and RM on my OG EVO all the time so after rooting the LTE I kind of started doing it out of habit.
I've changed my mind on the LTE and want to stay rooted but stock.
I found the stock recovery image and tried installing it with fastboot but I can't without unlocking the bootloader through HTCDev.
Is there another way to install it?
Use terminal emulator
And do what with it?
flash ruu im pretty sure that gives u a stock recovery back?? correct me if im wrong
I'd like to avoid wiping the phone unless I absolutely have to. I just _finally_ got it how I want it.
Okay, I got it.
I found instructions on flashing recovery using flash_image. Though I couldn't install flash_image as described. I used ES File Explorer to copy flash_image from my sdcard to /system/bin and then changed the permissions to rwx r-x r-x.
Next I used Terminal Emulator and ran: flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
That worked.
FYI I just reinstalled the stock recovery myself but used the image and the process documented in the OP of the Clockwork Recovery thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1675430
Doing it that way, I didn't need to download an additional program other than Terminal Emulator which I already had, and then the stock recovery image which is linked at the bottom of the OP. Easy peasy!

Sprint HTC One Stock 1.29 rom looking to OTA a couple times to 4.3. I am rooted, S-off, locked. Do I need to unroot before update? Or can I simply re flash to stock recovery then update. Can't seem to find a way to flash with twerp. Not sure why some Dev has not figured out how to flash the OTA from Twerp yet.
Has anyone tried to move the downloaded OTA to fastboot and flash it from there? Or terminal Emulator? I'm a rookie please don't be offended. It just seems like it should be possible. I don't know much and want to Leave it to the Pros! Thanks Hope to hear some responses on this. Patiently waiting to do it right. Thanks to all the developers. Have had a pleasant experience here!

Was running NRG GB just fine. When giving the phone to the wife I decided to upgrade to ICS. Used CWM to wipe data, cache, etc, and installed, got freeze on HTC logo. Started using Superwipe before each try and also tried flashing several different kernels including the one inside the zip and the one included with the amaze stock kernel flasher. Now the best I can get is 5 seconds into the Energy spinning rings logo before a 5s freeze and reboot.
The only thing I haven't tried is firmware; I've seen references to "find it on the forums" but copious forum and google searches don't seem to lead to the ICS firmware itself. Can anyone help with that or point out what I'm forgetting?
In the meantime I will try installing the ICS stock ROM first and see where that gets me.

Do just that, remember to lock your bootloader if you're s-on and yes, jumping to an ICS rom without updating your device caused the bootloop.

Don't download that one, it has issues, hold up, I'll give you a link to the most recent file.
Here, get this: http://d-h.st/3VD
Download speed should be faster as well. rename it PH85IMG and place it on your sd card after you relock your bootloader, then boot into bootloader, it's gonna detect the file and ask you if you wanna update, follow the on screen instructions to update, voila! Follow the basics to install the new energy rom.
It's almost as tho NO One reads anymore. It's actually getting kinda ridiculous how many times the same issue is gonna be asked.
I know this post isn't very helpful but I'm sure most of the recognized/senior/not noobs members are getting frustrated.

Lol, never pointed fingers buddy, so calm down.
Maybe I should create a new topic but my issue is similar to this one except for the fact that I read quite a lot and tried quite a few things.
My situation is that I made a backup with cwm only booted not flashed so I have the 100% stock backed up, after this I flashed cwm and tried to install the Energy rom based on ics and that was my mistake as I used to be on a Nexus device I didn't have to worry about this.
So I got stuck on a bootloop and tried factory reset/wiping everything, tried to reinstall a stock ROM (t-mobile one as I only found a .exe for the videotron one and I did not feel like exploring the exe as I am a Linux user) by relocking bootloader and using the HTC method, tried to install manually the stock Kernel with Energy ROM using adb and fastboot commands, tried to restore my backup but nothing seems to work, I'm still bootlooping.
Is-it possible to s-off without a regular adb access (only the cwm adb access)? And would s-off allow me to flash anything as I wish? Is there a way to have any ROM working on my device? (i know the answer is yes to the last one, at least )
Thanks!

Maybe I'm a noob on this forum but it's far to be the first time I face a problem in software configuration/installation and I read quite enough (spent about five hours on xda, google, etc.) to say that you should at least help me a bit by linking me to a thread where I can find an answer.
I know my mistake was to install ics at first but now I flashed the stock recovery back, I relocked the bootloader via fastboot and put the file on the root of my sdcard renamed correctly that it be detected automaticly (and it apparently does install) but I still got the * bootloop.
I'm able to read a manual and to read the Amaze 4G bible four times to try to point out the detail I forgot. I made my homework and now it would only be nice from you that you help me a bit...

Okay okay, calm down, there's currently only one method of going about restoring your device since you're s-on and no you cannot s-off with just cwm adb, I think JB s-off method is only an exe file, never saw linux files anywhere on his site. Anyways, you have to use the GB exe for videotron and restore to stock via it then update to ics to use the most recent energy rom, BUT if you just want a working device, this is just an idea, though it should work fine, you can flash a custom recovery and flash the GB version of energy rom, you should be able to restore your backup as well, but you said you can't, which is odd, it may be because of the kernel not being flashable as since CWM cannot flash kernels while s-on, in which case I'd advise you to get 4EXT recovery and then try restoring your back once again, it should work fine since 4EXT can flash kernels while S-ON.
My two cents.
Well, 4ext doesn't works, apparently it flashes correctly but I can't boot in it so can't even try to restore my backup, s-off doesn't works from cwm and my device has to be booted to work with Videotron's exe (or I badly installed my drivers, I nerver understand properly the 899363 drivers per device I have to install for an android phone on Windows?)
Smells bad... I checked the 4ext's md5sum and it's alright, I took it from the fastboot installable img in direct dl from the thread in the Amaze bible.
Any idea?
Oh and there is a JB s-off executable for Linux on his site. After all I guess it is mostly adb commands?

I got lost halfway through that post, after flashing a rom, if the kernel isn't flashed (reboots and does it automatically), then flash the kernel manually, should boot fine, does anyone ever really read anymore? This very issue both s-on and s-off has been answered more times today than I can count. If you read the details on JB's site, you'd see and know all you need to.
Right, I'va already flashed manually the stock kernel as sais in the NRGRom thread without success before my first post here, will look at different kernels.

How did you go about flashing the kernel?

There was a flash.sh file in the zip with the kernel, I couldn't run it normally as I can't boot but I went in cwm (maybe I should have used 4ext, don't think so for this part) executed the adb commands there were in the sh file with all filesystems mounted, rebooted into fastboot and flashed the kernel image. Maybe there are differents /system when in cwm and when booted on regular system... Will figure that out when I have time to spend on this, as soon as possible.
Thanks for all the cues!

Okay here's a few tips, cwm cannot flash kernels with son devices, get 4ext recovery for that. Second thing, reflash the from after doing a super wipe, if 4ext doesnt reboot and flash the kernel, do it manually, ill assume you know how to use ad, if not check my Bible tutorial on it, use the boot command for flashing boot images, take the boot file from the zip file, place it in the folder where your adb files are and flash it to your device while its in fastboot mode.

Well, I think I have done all you mention above, the only thing i'm not sure to understand is what you mean by "super wipe" I found some executables about it but I guess it can't do much more than the flash all partitions (except external sdcard) in 4ext recovery wich I finally managed to install properly.
So, I made that global formatting thing, I tried to install an ICS based ROM and 4ext rebooted to install kernel, same bootloop. Tried to install manually the kernel that came with this rom via the classic fastboot flash boot boot.img. Same bootloop. Tried to put the modules manually via the recovery adb access (performing a mount -a in adb shell to have everything present in fstab mounted) and flashing this stock kernel with no more success.
Achieved the same operations with a GB based ROM (this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535173) with both the faux and the stock kernel without any more success.
Did I miss something? Am I so dumb? Do you have any other rom to suggest that have higher chances to succeed?
Do you think trying to restore my sotck nandroid with 4ext has more chances to succeed?
Thanks, again and always!
So i was going to flash a rom onto my HTC One with clockwork mod revovery so i wiped it and when i started to flash it, it said aborted and no i have no rom to boot into and no other rom on my phone. and i was using clock work mod recovery i cant use adb. Please help Me.

If your computer can recognize it, run the RUU from the HTC site, there are plenty of threads on it, I think you should be okay. Other than that without a nandroid, not sure what else you can do.

Heyo, good luck with your phone! It's not bricked, just flash the RUU and you'll be good to go. But, remember this is the Development section, so before someone else lays into you for it, remember questions go in the Q/A section. Good luck!
Always make a back up bro, rule of thumb

Why is this here Lol
From my One while peeking in your window
wrong section. but try to get twrp flashed on it and see if it flashes. Always keep a backup incase something like this or at least another rom to flash
