Just like what the subject line says "I cannot boot into 4ext recovery." i tried re flashing 4ext using Hasoons tool but it still does not work. I tied booting into recovery but it just leads me into the white HTC logo.
I know flashing two ROMS on top of each other was a bad idea. I flashed nightmare 1.6 and cm10 on top of that then i just started having problems. I tried going into recovery in order to flash my backup but failed because I cannot even access it. BTW i can still boot into OS but cannot do anything because it keeps saying HTC sense has stopped working. I cannot go pass the lock screen. If anyone has come into this problem please help me. IDK if my phone is bricked or not. =(
Power off, pull the battery. Whole down the the power and the volume down button then select RECOVERY. tell us what happens.

That's weird. Your last option ever would be to Flash RUU. Hmm, you can use Hasoon's tool kit but you need to download the latest .img unless someone else has a better idea. Or if anything flash a different recovery(say clockworkmod) just so you can just wipe data and boot into the OS to re flash 4ext. And if you can't boot into the OS then re flash the last ROM whose boot.img you over wrote.
I think. But if you do go with the RUU you might wanna take the time to S-OFF.

Flash the RUU first. Then S-OFF if you want to.

Hi, ever since last night my wife's Amaze has been stuck in a boot loop. The white HTC logo screen comes up and then it reboots and the same thing happens over and over. It was running firmware 2.14.531.3. I was able to boot into hboot and re-lock the bootloader with fastboot to flash the RUU and I flashed the latest one which is RUBY_ICS_35_S_TMOUS_2.14.531.3_R2 but still the same thing happens I even flashed it a second time but no dice. I'm really not sure what to do here. Did some other things too like take out the battery put it back in after a few minutes, charged it while the phone was off. If anyone has any ideas please help. Thank you
So no one has any ideas?

Try factory resetting in the stock recovery, then reloading the ruu via hboot.
(reboot into stock recovery from hboot, volume up and power button to bring the menu up so you can wipe the device)
Though reloading a stock ruu should wipe everything, are you getting any errors when reloading the stock ruu? And which one of the ruu files are you using to reload?

You don't flash the ruu.. you need to put the file in root of ur SD and rename it to ph85img or something like that and reboot in the bootloader

Even if, you didn't need to reflash anything, apparently the fact that the ruu wipes and restores everything to stock still hasn't sunk in yet, anyways, we're missing some info here, what else happened before this issue that you're not telling me, since bootloop issues are easily resolved by a stock reload via hboot but yours seems to be on the same loop no matter what, are you giving it the time to boot after reloading via hboot? First boot takes a bit of time, patience is very vital.

Ya like he^^ said, it does take a very long to boot up after flashing an ruu, could take a good 10 mins or maybe more...
Now if you did wait and it still just bootlooped after flashing the ruu, either the ruu is bad, or u did something wrong, OR u got some serious software problems going on
Due to the fact, atleast from reading your first post, it sounds like it was running fine then suddenly just started bootlooping. And then flashing an ruu didn't fix it. Sounds to me like ur phone has some serious issues

That's just it, after loading the ruu via hboot the phone asks for a reboot and when I do it it barely takes 5 seconds on the HTC logo white screen then the phone reboots again and the same thing happens. And as far as anything happening before, nothing really happened. The battery died a couple of days ago and the when we charged it and tried to turn on the phone this started happening

I think Im having an issue similar to yours. Is there any interaction after it begins to flash the RUU? I found a video for the thunderbolt where it asks you to approve the update before it finishes. My phone does the update then jumps back to the fastboot screen.
Hello,
I am stuck in a constant boot loop with every rom I flash. I am able to get into the stock restore menu (volume down + power) and from there boot into TWRP 1.1.1. Flashing JmzStock_VM_Shooter_Odex doesn't work as well as any custom roms. Also, RUU doesnt work either, it gets stuck on the HTC logo (silver with blackground) but the RUU fails. It just says unknown error.
It is Unlocked (or at least thats what it says in pink in ShooterXC) and is says S-ON.
Any help would be so lovely!!
You won't be able to run the ruu unless you get s off.
Are you wiping system and boot before you flash?
You may want to try flashing a boot img through fastboot

Flashing the boot.img from your currently installed ROM fixes 90% of bootloops. It is definitely the way to fix.

Is there a different way to get S-Off without booting into the OS? I've only seen the wire trick work when they have USB debugging on.

How would I flash it, through recovery and "install" it or using fastboot?
Hi everyone,
I recently tried to flash a new ROM and had to upgrade my HBOOT. After i did so, I continued to flash the rom but probably made a noob move along the way because it got stuck at the HTC boot logo. I turned my phone off and then booted into recovery again but then got the error that 4ext was booting into safe mode because it could not mount the sd card. I did a bit of research and came across a thread that said to reflash 4ext and so I did. Now when I'm trying to boot into recovery, I get stuck at HTC boot logo again. At this point all I can boot into is HBOOT. Is there anything I can do or is my phone pretty much bricked?
My HBOOT version is currently 1.93.002.
Thanks.

If 4ext boot in safe mode it means your system partition or some other partition is corrupted the safest way to fix it is by running a ruu since your t mobile you won't face much trouble just lock your bootloader and run a t mobile ruu R2 is the latest

Well i cant get into 4ext at all now.
But i do have a few questions if you dont mind:
Would i lock it simply by doing fastboot oem lock in command prompt?
So the ruu would be the first one under tmobile on this site: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1617644?
And could you link me to or give me a quick tutorial on how to flash the ruu without being able to get into 4ext?
Sorry im kind of a noob at this.

Hey all,
so I've come into a bit of a conundrum. I was playing with the MaximusHD Jellybean 4.3 ROM. It was alright, but not for me. So I decided to flash back to stock. After a bit of finagling, I got a Stock Rooted 4.1.2 ROM for my phone, and was able to flash it. But now, I can't RUU my phone back to complete stock. Relocking the bootloader produces a **Security warning**, which prevents booting. Now, with an unlocked bootloader the stock ROM boots fine -- but locked, it doesn't boot and goes directly to bootloader. Can someone please walk me through getting my phone back to normal? I've used the RUU before to return to complete stock once before, except I'm not sure what I've done wrong this time around. Any help is appreciated. Also, I have TWRP recovery (latest version), unfortunately without a Nandroid backup
My phone works fine right now -- albeit rooted. Thank you!
Try flashing a stock recovery before relocking.

Hi,
I have the exact same problem here, i've had my HTC One with a 2-year plan @t-mobile but with the stock rom i haven't had any t-mobile bloatware/splash screen. Is that normal?
Also if i flash a stock t-mobile rom it hangs at the bootloader.

Unfortunately, flashing a stock recovery just prevented my device from booting normally. I had to reflash TWRP to get it to boot properly... unless I just didn't give the boot process enough time on the stock recovery.
You can put any recovery on your phone, lock it, and run fastboot rebootRUU from hboot to run the RUU.

So I have my friend's amaze in my hands right now, which I rooted and unlocked myself while still S-On. It was on Gingerbread previously, and the recovery is 4ext. I tried flashing CM10.1 on it, but it miserably failed to get past the lockscreen. Bootlooping since then. I learnt that S-On users have to flash kernel manually. Did that, booted to recovery, formatted everything(except for boot), flashed ROM again. Said that Recovery is Safe Mode. Don't know what it is, since I'm a CWM fanboy. Have run out of ideas, as well as battery(though taking care of it). Need ideas and solutions...

To complete the process, do the S-OFF process, supercid, and finally flash the ics firmware in the bootloader. After that you can flash whatever Amaze ROM you want.

That's all you need If it's a T-mobile amaze, you can also use the other T-mobile guide Aj made, but this one is more straightforward.
During S-OFF, if it asks for the Jbear HBOOT, choose yes because it's an overall better hboot!
