I had this exact same problem.
It is because you are S-ON and do not have SuperCID

I would suggest trying to get S-OFF using Ubuntu and then doing SuperCID
If you cannot attain S-OFF, there is a rom that worked for me perfectly I will link you to.

I still highly suggest that you get S-OFF and SuperCID before you flash any more roms.
Here is a full guide on how to get it

Hello,
I am currently downloading Sultan ROM 2.0 because i am S-on and forgot to backup the original OS. (basically empty phone, I think) However, I managed to get TWRP 2.6 on for recovery. After I get the ROM and move it on to the SD card, I should install it from TWRP, right? (removing cache, dalvik etc) Hope I get back and running so I can get build out of source codes.
My question is, is kernel compile(from source) for HTC amaze x715e (the asian HTC amaze?) is possible or not.
I believe the kernel source that HTCdev site provides is only for HTC amaze 4G. (or is it the same?)
Thanks in advance.

You're asking many things that can easily be found on the threads that are pinned to the top of the the various forums here. Before proceeding I strongly suggest you read them first, because judging by the content of your post you are getting ahead of yourself and are already heading for serious problems. If you are s-on with an Asian or unbranded Amaze you will soon find yourself with an expensive paperweight if you continue along your current path.
You must first attain s-off and SuperCID before flashing an ICS ROM, and you must first flash a factory ICS ROM image before you can flash an after-market ROM like Sultan. This is because none of the after-market ROMs have radio basebands, and without an ICS radio you won't have communication or data with any ICS and newer ROMs you may flash. Also TWRP is practically useless on an S-on handset because it will be unable to flash a kernel image, so it won't boot-up.
As I said, read all of the pinned threads located at the top of the various forums here, all of the info you seek is located there, including links to other posts with important information. In a nutshell you will need to proceed as follows: You will have to flash back to the appropriate GB ROM for your handset. Then if you haven't already, go to the HTC-dev site and get the binary unlock blob and save it (you will need it again). Attain s-off and SuperCID. Once these have been successfully accomplished you must flash a factory ICS image to get the radio. Once you have the proper ICS radio and you're s-off you can flash any ROM you like.
Cutting corners will only cause problems for you later, then your next post will be a cry for help in the Amaze unbricking project thread.
Good luck.

Okay so as @Odysseus1962 said, you need to get S-OFF and SuperCID first.
And TWRP is useless in this scenario because it does not have smartflash, which like Ody said, can flash kernel images.
Really there's limitations to what you can do right now. I think if you find an Asian GB RUU to flash you would be back to your original phone but if you want to be on ICS you need to do everything we told you in the previous post. Otherwise you will be very sad for a bricked phone.
Again, follow this thread step by step to get back to a working phone.

Get the phone working first, that is priority. ICS can wait. It is not running away.

Yes you are right, I need to get it back to working before I have ICS or anything. I really don't have any preference about GB or ICS anyways.
I spent about 2 weeks looking for information about this phone but then I found out that this one was the asian version, not the 4G. (Do they have much difference from HTC Amaze 4G?!)
As a newbie, I got confused and understood something wrong and went off to a wrong direction.
Anyways I'll follow with the thread that you've posted.
Thanks again.

New question
Thank you I now have it back to normal.
What I want to do is, I would like to compile the kernel for this device from source. I see that there are several versions of kernel sources in HTCdev site. Should I grab T-Mobile version and compile accordingly? and flash it using Hasoon's Kit?
Compile it from source and thats just it, no more.
Or do I have to go with what @Odysseus1962 said and get SuperCID, S-off and etc??? AND THEN go ahead with kernel compile?
It doesn't matter if the android is GB or ICS. (I think I'll go with GB though)
Thank you.

There's an excellent article at xda university about kernel compilation, as well as, several excellent threads in the main development forum on the main board. The HTC sources are a good place to start however you'll need to prepare your build box correctly. This is where the info threads I mentioned come in handy. Compiling the kernel for android requires cross-compilation and installation of the proper toolchain since you're more than likely planning on building from an x86 or amd64 based machine.
As to which sources to select, there are several versions on the HTC-dev site that are directly compatible with the Amaze. However IIRC there is only one that includes the sources for the TI chipset which is required for Bluetooth functionality. That source is the one that's considerably larger than the others and is the one you should use for your build.
You don't need s-off to build kernels since that's done on your PC. You might run into problems installing on your device, but I'm not sure. This is because of a CID mismatch with your build (no CID) and what is expected by the ROM you have installed. It's just a generally accepted idea that if you plan on developing for an HTC device you should be unlocked, s-off, SuperCID, and in the case of the Amaze, on the latest ICS radio baseband. This gives you the freedom to install anything you want, without external limitations on your handset.
The only time this isn't an absolute requirement is if you own a version that came with an ICS image on it or where one is available to install. Since they have the proper radio they can flash any ROM, provided they flash with 4ext recovery with smart-flash enabled. I hope this helps.
Good Luck.

Thanks again for the quick reply.
I am now done with S-off (wire trick took me like 20 tries ) and getting SuperCID.
Now my bootloader shows LOCKED, hboot 1.92, S-OFF. Then I am going for kernel compile for the exact stock sources.
ruby-gb-crc-2.6.35-4a1059e. (and of course cross-compiled it) Now I have a zImage with me but won't flash with 'fastboot boot zImage'. I'll look for the solutions in the forum.
I have to say sorry for not reading the main threads and making you bothersome.
Thanks again.
