Before I had this issue, my amaze was beautiful. Then, I began having random reboots. I was running the 021713 cyanogenmod-10 build by sportstar and nothing more. The constant rebooting prompted me to do a full partition wipe and then reinstall an older version of the rom. This didn't work and after countless different roms, I decided to RUU the phone back to stock and set s-on again. Finally the phone was stable for longer but not before going back into a bootloop. I tried going back from this full stock condition to a rooted, s-off phone and now the same issue is occuring. If anyone can provide assistance, it would be much obliged.
P.S. I have talked to a T-mobile rep and worse comes to worse, I send it in for warranty but can someone help me set the bootloader to LOCKED instead or RELOCKED

First thing you have to do is:
Carefully wipe the contacts on the both sides (battery and the phone body) then put a strip of thin paper under the battery foot - so the electrical connection is perfect between those contacts...
The second thing is:
Get a new battery...

Hello all, I flashed thE Twisted Sence 1.5.1 ROM this afternoon and at about 8:30pm my phone completely froze and I could not do anything at all. Pulled the battery and all I can get is the HTC Logo on the White Background.
I can get into HBOOT and I have been trying everything I can to get the phone to work again but no dice.
Clockwork doesnt want to load for some reason but after letting my phone sit for about 15 minutes one time it did load into Clockwork. So I wiped the system partition/cache/dalvik and reloaded the ROM again.
After 12 minutes of waiting the phone finally started to load into the OS but it was so sloooooooowwwwww. It would not even recoginize any gestures on the touch screen.
So I rebooted again and it is stuck on the HTC Boot Screen again.
So I was thinking that I might be able to go back to the rooted stock so I went to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=996616 and got the PG05IMG_stock.zip from there and renamed to PG05IMG.ZIP and had HBOOT load that.
Again went through a super long start up process and now the phone is at the unlock screen and again I cannot do anything at all. It has the correct time and it is only showing 1X for data nothing else and I am in a 4G LTE zone. I called myself from a landline and the phone rings but I cannot answer it since the touchscreen is un-responsive.
So is there any reason why my phone would be running super slow and doing what it is? I don't know if it is a Kernel thing or a Radio thing or what.
Maybe a stock kernel would help if anyone has it.
Any help would be much apperaicted as I have a brick that lights up basically. Phone isn't useable at all. =(
Reboot into recovery and try a different kernel. Or just restore an earlier state.
^_^_^'s tbolt
Load another ROM. Any rom you load should come with a new kernel. If that fails, try a different radio.

Does anyone know a way to go back to locked Stock through HBOOT or Clockwork without being able to boot the phone?
If I can get back to S-ON I will return the phone to Verizon since I am within my 30 days.
It has to be a kernel issue. The radio may be in conflict with something else, because all phones are different, but just restore a backup you've made, and try flashing the rom with a different kernel. If it was stable, something had to occur for that to change obviously.
If I had a backup to use then I would give that a shot. =( Shame on me I know.

You can do it through ADB.

now you know to make a nandroid backup prior to reflashing anything
/slaps OP with trout
So i would like to apologize first off by saying i am a complete and total noob in every sense of the word. This is the first time trying to root any phone. ok so heres the deal, the phone powers up... FINALLY... and will load to the homescreen but reboots the device. I used the BAMF ICS rom and put in a PGIMGnewfirmwarepeople.zip... ive tried to do the *#*# but as soon as i bring it up i can only get maybe the * or at best the *# but then it reboots itself. I mess with cars on a daily basis but unlike a car part i cant bang or heat up the phone to get the desired result. i attempted to do this since i saw the video on the rezound redifined 4.0.3 ICS with nova launcher.. it was a video by driodzero?
i have no idea where to go from here... i would greatly appreciate any help anyone can provide
If it is indeed a network bootloop, try booting with the backpate removed. As long as the network signal isn't overly strong it should be able to get you in.
i think that was one of the things i did... i tried to let it boot with the back off, then with the back off and SIM card out... but to no avail. is there a way to somehow cmd prompt the *#*# in order to switch the problem... i dont know if this helps but it is S-ON
No SIM means no signal, which means no network bootloop. Must be another cause. Looking at the Bamf ICS thread, did you upgrade your firmware to ICS properly first. Hmm.
i will go back and look.. the problem is it will not let be go back and down grade img file...

Yeah, S-off is suggested eventually since it allows you to downgrade from the leaks. Risk of perma-brick in certain situations, like flashing a bad download of radios. But it helps more than hurts to have that freedom.
On S-on you also need to make sure the boot.img gets flashed seperate in the bootloader for a given ROM.
thanx i will try the wire trick to get it to S-OFF but right now i cant even get the phone to power up to the home screen
You can check the hboot/radio version in the bootloader to confirm firmware version. See what it says there.
Would attempt a clean reinstall of the ROM if it is indeed on ICS (hboot 2.21 or 2.25) firmware proper.
Then make sure to wipe system, davik-cache and cache, flash ROM twice, the patch Joelz has, and flash the boot.img as a PH98IMG.zip in bootloader. Then boot the ROM up.
i would definitely try that except i can not get it to power on, nor can i get it to charge... i think its bricked, since ive even gone to the standard battery as well as using different chargers. i greatly appreciate your insight

Did you use ClockworkMod by any chance? My first Rezzy charging capability fried on its own eventually, but aside from hardware failure: that recovery has been reported to have issues when battery drains down...
So this happend yesterday, I plugged it in my computer and my phone just shuts down all a sudden (because of the USB port). Now it keeps saying it is charging, even when it is not, the red light stays on, even when the phone is powered down. Only when my phones battery is out it stops, but as soon as I plug the battery back in the light pops up....
After an entire night of charging the phone is not even fully charged it was stuck around 85%. Never reached green.... I flashed it twice, once with a different rom once with the exciting rom...
Any ideas on how to fix this?
The phone is S-off rooted unlocked if that is to any help.
Please help.

How does that go in its work? Sorry for the late reply, have not been in country.
It sounds like to me there could be a few things that are the problem. First, it could be the recovery you are using. If you are using cwm then I suggest getting rid of that and flashing twrp or 4ext. If you already have one of those recoveries then it could the kernel you are using. Depending on the rom you are on flash a different one to see if that stops the constant red light. You also said that your phone shuts down instantly when you plug it into a usb port. That could either be a rom or a kernel issue. Try flashing a different rom and kernel to see if that helps. Lastly, if none of these haved worked then rule out battery by using a another one and another charger cord. If those didn't help then you are probably looking at a hardware issue. In that case you would have to return your phone to complete stock before you send it in for repairs. Also if you do go this route make sure you tell the techs not to replace your motherboard unless it's absolutely necessary. Doing so will render your phone unable to be unlocked and rooted. I hope that any of these solutions will help.

Thanks, going to flash a new rom. Maybe that helps Fingers crossed.
By the way, is there a way to return it in a state of S-on and full stock? I have managed to install ICS rom, the HTC release.
Tried a battery, seems even a NEW battery does not fill to a 100% rate, stops around 83-86%

Hopefully the ROM worked for you, because it does sound software related if you tried a new battery.
I was saying wipe the battery stats because it'll clear all battery info and it'll re calibrate itself.
However, yes, you can go back to full S-ON.
If the new ROM didn't help, I'll show you how to get back to stock.
My phone is GSM.
Rom didnt do much for me... tried 2 different ROM's excluding the official one.
So, I made it S-off, I have it ''relocked'' anything else I need to do before I can send it RMA?
I did clean out my USB port btw. Could it be a hardware related problem?

I found this guide, now my issue is. I S-off'ed my phone with Hboot 1.5xxxx not with 1.4xxxx Is that any problem if I am about to revert it?
Since your s-off you can revert back to whatever hboot you want. Just keep in mind it has to be a stock boot loader. No custom ones or you could brick your phone when you write the security flag command in fast boot.

If you can show me please. I did use the wire trick to get it S-off if that is relevant.
Excuse me if I missed an existing thread with this issue, I have looked and didn't find one with exact problem.
It seems everyone else has one of the two problems, not both.
As the title claims, when I turn on my phone it freezes on the white background-green htc screen and won't load the OS.
I tried removing the batter then turning back on with power-volume down but nothing happens. That hboot menu doesn't show up.
As soon as I let go of the buttons, it attempts to start up normally then freezes again at the same screen.
Last night I rooted my phone (first time I've ever rooted) and installed SolidRom Suite ICS Sense 3.6 and it worked perfectly.
I then removed battery, went into hboot menu, cleared the catches and did a factory reset. I then attempted to install the SolidRom Suite JB 4.1.1
This is when it loaded the white screen-green htc and froze. I thought it was loading the rom slowly (First time like I said, I didn't know what to expect)
It was 2am so I just fell asleep. I woke up to a dead phone. I plugged it in to a charger and have been attempting to get access to the phone all morning with no luck.

While rooting last night, I was using a youtube video as a cross reference to the directions I was using from AFs.
I asked the creator of the video the same thing and this is what he replied with
DON ,T BE SCARED (are u?)
this thing is called BOOTLOOP
the rom has problems OR U DID NOT FLASH THE KERNAL!!!!
to flash the kernal u need a working software and install an program called flash image gui
restore your nandroid back u created before flashing
DID U MADE A NANDROID BACK UP
If no
then u need to download the ruu image of your phone GOOGLE TIME keep searching until u got one

1-I didn't know I needed to flash the kernel if I was going to stick with the one provided with the custom ROM (is that a gross conceptual error?)
2-If I do need to flash the kernel first... I have no idea how.
3-I looked up flash image gui and all the instructions assume your phone is working fine so I'm not sure what I'm suppose to do with that.
I was so excited when the first rom (ICS) worked... guess that's what I get for then trying to upgrade to JB.
Thanks a lot guys. That noob video I watched to register on this site is so spot on.
update: I finally figured out how to fastboot. I keep trying clear caches then factory reset. I install new rom and then it bootloops again. What am I doing wrong?
I recommend you follow ramjet's guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889438
It will reset your phone back to stock (hopefully stopping the bootloops) and then get you s-off using the wire trick. This will allow you to flash ROMs without worrying about flashing kernels. It will also allow you to change hboots, which I think was what caused the issue in the first place. I think all the jb ROMs don't boot on hboot 1.58.
I was able to return the phone to factory settings. I then retried and now I get past the splash screen and am frozen at the next Sprint screen.
I'm still at it. I'll get it eventually.

Hey guys,
Just rooted my phone today, and have had a pretty bumpy time. I've made it through most of it, but am having trouble getting a new ROM installed (NilsP's Business ICS Sense 6.4). Basically, install is going fine, but when I make it to the ROM, I get no cell signal, no data, and gps won't turn on.
I'm running S-on, and the install will complete and it will automatically reboot to hboot for the kernel. However, nothing happens that indicates that the kernel installed. Upon reboot, the ROM will open, I'll skip through the setup wizard, and once out cell, data, and gps fail to turn on.
I tried placing the kernel's zip file directly onto my SD card's root drive. Once booted to hboot, the kernel will install. However, problem will persist. I updated to 6.4 OTA with no change. I tried disabling the Fast Boot option and cycled various settings, as suggested in NilsP's original thread. Prior to rooting, I had the most current update from Verizon (pushed through about a week or two ago). I even tried installing with the s-off option, which gave the same result.
I spent about five hours today searching these forums, as well as others, for a similar issue but was unable to find one. Until I figure out a way forward. I feel like I'm missing something simple, since I'm almost there! As I said, I'm a newbie, so forgive me if I misused any terms. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!

Yup, tried with the lid back on, too. Figured there must have been an important circuit with all those contacts in there.
I'll try the reset from HBoot later this evening. I wiped every time I tried to reflash the OS, though only from the recovery menu. I'll let you know how it goes.
Thanks for the help guys, it ended up installing just fine after a factory reset from Hboot. Now I'm running into the same Play Services issue as everyone else using this ROM. Go figure. I'll monitor NilsP's original ROM thread for a solution. Looks like he's working on it already.
