Not sure what to do on this one and any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'll start from the beginning. I was on m7 not having many issues and wanted to try some 4.4 roms. Went to flash beans, did full wipe etc and couldn't flash because of not having updated cwm. Was working and didn't want to mess with it too much so said nvm ill just restore back to m7 and fix it later. Md5 didn't match and couldn't restore at all. So I just rebooted and planned on starting over on m7. Once that kicked on I had no Google services at all. No gmail, play store etc. But I think (not 100%) that I still had service on the device. I downloaded cm10.2 and flashed gapps but once that booted up I had nothing. No data, wouldn't activate the device, only showed the number as all 0's. I have since flashed back to m7 to see if that was the problem but now that I'm back it's still not working at all. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm running to vzw to get a new Sim tomorrow just to cover all my bases. Thanks guys.

Have you tried locking the bootloader and running the ruu exe?

No I haven't. That's a good idea though. Once locked is it terrible to unlock again or just as easy as the first time?

In development section, there is a flashable zip to lock and unlock the bootloader by Scotty. Be sure to plus rep him for all his work.
If you are s-off, it would be simple to install a custom recovery and re unlock again after you ruu.

RUU back to stock, get service on stock ROM, then clean flash Viper. Once that works then try restoring your Viper backup.

I went all the way back to stock and it didnt work, I even flashed the old bootloader and radio and no bones. Used the Ruu method listed in .torrents thread tried factory reset after installing stock recovery and nothing. Just roaming. Instead of wherever I may roam its forever I may roam?

my phone is rooted and i just put the stock rom on it (Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_2.17.651.5_odex.zip) after having a different rom my question is when ICS update comes in 2 weeks (for sprint users in the usa) will the update work and be applied? or will i just get an error?
I believe you will also have to relock your bootloader and install the stock ruu which puts the stock recovery on.
I recommend that you wait until a dev comes out with a custom based off the ota. It will be more awesome.

NEVER EVER take an update when you are rooted. Every single guide to rooting tells you this.
There is no need to relock to take the update when it comes out. Just wait about an hour, and someone on here will have a flashable version of the stock rooted rom. Flash it like any other rom, simple as that, no need to worry about bricking.
Well I don't really care about it not being rooted any more

Just find the stock RUU for your phone.
Depending on whether your CDMA or GSM and what carrier.
It shouldn't be hard. Just use the search.
Then follow the instructions to flash it, make sure you have the stock HTC recovery and relock the bootloader.
Your phone will be stock!

Ah, no problem, you should be fine.
When flashing the stock RUU, if done properly, you should automatically get the stock recovery.

So I recently rooted my phone and I tried to install the CM 10.1 mod. I did everything correctly except I didn't backup my original rom. So now the custom rom won't boot up because it gets stuck at the HTC startup screen and stays there. I went back into the twrp and tried to re-install the custom rom and again it didn't work. Now I went back and all my files are gone including the custom rom! So basically I think that the phone is booting because there is nothing on there. I tried to change the recovery image back to the original htc rom according to htcevohacks.com and i tried doing a factory reset but it didn't work. is it possible to fix this if so how? Thanks.

If you can get into twrp you can mount usb storage and put the Rom zip back on and the reason it won't boot is because you are s-on you need to fastboot flash the boot.img first

ok so as you guys said I can put the rom back on and install it and I have tried it. I got the initial set up of the new rom but the touchscreen doesn't work. I tried 2 other roms too and the touchscreen doesn't work on all of them. Do i just have to keep trying out roms? If you guys could post any roms that you have tried before that'd be great. I just want my phone to run something right now.
Try running a ROM based on the 3.16 OTA such as ViperROM or MeanBean. What version of TWRP are you on?
Also note if you use either of the ROM's listed above, they have S-on kernel installers. Just follow the installation instructions.

Give it a shot. The 3.16 OTA included a touch panel driver update. If you have the updated driver you can only run 3.16 base ROM's and also must use TWRP 2.4+, otherwise, your touch panel won't work. If you gain S-off you can downgrade the driver and run whatever ROM you want.
Once S-off you don't have to fool with flashing the kernel separately, either
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
So according to the MeanBean developer the kernel installer is built in, so all i have to do is flash the .zip file and it will take care of everything correct?

I think, if I recall correctly, you have to flash the ROM zip twice. After you flash the first time, you will be prompted to flash it again.

Hi everyone,
I'm currently on Viper Amaze 1.7.0.2 and I'd like to know how to revert back to stock ICS. My phone is on tmobile, s-on, unlocked bootloader, hboot 1.93.0002 and 4ext recovery.

I dunno why all of you get this.. Its cuz your boot.img didn't flash.. Do like this flash the Rom and reboot into the recovery again then a small pop up will come saying turn on smart flash bla bla say yes and give it 10 sec and reboot your phone.. I kinda remember something like that

I had s-off and unlocked and am trying to get back to stock. I had flashed a gpe ROM at one point and used my twrp backup to get back to stock. Flashed stock recovery, locked and went back to s-on. Is the backup the reason the os doesn't show anything on the hboot screen? Should I just flash the stock ROM again instead of a backup?
Everything on the phone works fine except that.
Thanks for the help.

I'm assuming you're not S-OFF or SuperCID.
Hmmmm... Okay here's what to do I need you to follow these exact steps.
Extract the CM10 rom to it's own folder
Take the boot.img and place it in the windroid kernel folder (assuming that there's a kernel folder)
Open the windroid tool and select "Flash Kernel" and select the boot.img from the rom.
Now follow the instructions (I think you have to be in fastboot mode, I'm not sure.)
I think this procedure is right, I'm not entirely sure. I haven't had this problem in almost a year, since I decided to get S-OFF and SuperCID.
OK...the boot animation for cm is still going 2 hrs+ probably the recovery isn't right though no? Flashed last cm official with 5.0.2.9. I'll do as u suggested the for your input. And no idea for s-off sorry this phone is foreign to me

It won't boot, it's stuck in a bootloop because you haven't done S-OFF or SuperCID. It's what makes the custom roms work.
Please try my suggestion. And performing S-OFF is really not that hard, it's very very easy. Although most times I know that it's done on the Asian or Unbranded version of the Amaze that's stuck on GB.
Your recovery is fine, I can assure you that. Only KitKat roms require 4ext version 6 to flash properly.
Another idea just popped into my head, go into your recovery and enter the advanced settings, scroll down and you should see something called "Smartflash"
Make sure that this is enabled.
Do a full wipe (factory reset>cache>dalvik>all partitions except SD card) and then re-install your CM10.
Ok...thanks again for taking the time to help. I know it can be frustrating if the same probably basic issue comes up but phones do vary. Learned something new

Well you see this isn't the same exact problem that everybody else has, ultimately it's the same cause but like you said, it varies.
You're on ICS, from Telsus. Most of the people who create posts are from the Unbranded Amaze crying about their device being stuck in a bootloop or that their phone unexpectedly blew up and killed all their hopes and dreams.
I don't think there's much posts about Telsus Amaze, hopefully someone will see your post and know more than I do and provide more information.

Any kitkat Rom for amaze won't flash on twrp/cwm recovery since those recoveries are outdated and haven't been updated for our device. Since your device is S-ON with ICS Rom Telsus it just needs 4ext touch recovery with smart flash on. Kernel won't flash on cwm/twrp recovery with S-ON since there's no smart flash option in them that's why your phone was stuck in cm boot screen. Good thing you figured it out.

Read my previous posts if you need to flash a kitkat Rom, you just need 4ext recovery with smart flash turned on. That's the safest procedure. Good luck!

If you want to flash any KitKat Rom we have for the Amaze, you need the latest version of 4ext recovery.
I'm really not sure how S-On devices are prepared for this so hopefully just having smartflash on will work. If it gets stuck in the bootloop again, you can try flashing the boot.img and see if it boots up properly
Thx again guys...kitkat installed woohoo and didn't need to flash boot worked from install zip
