I am not really sure how to explain what is going on so I made a video to kind of show.
Sorry it is shaky I was holding my camera and trying to use the phone at the same time.
So I did the HTC Unlock Bootloader thing about 2 months ago and I have been stuck with a phone that will not update or anything anymore.
I got fed up with trying to get it to work so I have just been using the phone as is, but it is getting slow and buggy on me so I would like to finish the rooting or get it back to stock or something.
When I boot into recovery as you will see nothing works.
HTC has an update right now on my phone and if I download and go to install the update it reboots into recovery and there is an error saying it could not mount the internal storage or something so update was aborted.
I was hoping someone could watch this video and then point me in the right direction of what to do next.
I tried to get a good shot of the recovery screen so you could see S-ON and the versions n junk.

Thank you guys!
The first problem is CWM does not play nice with the Evo 4G LTE you need to use TWRP.
If you want to take the OTA Update you will need to re-lock your bootloader and install a stock recovery.

^This. You've most likely borked your misc partition with CWM, so you'll need to fix that at some point. As for the rest, you can either do as Bigdaddy says, or install TWRP recovery and flash a ROM.

I downloaded GooManager and attempted to install TWRP. It said it installed but when I rebooted in to recovery it was still using CWM.
Any thoughts on how to force this install? Also when I tried to reboot into recovery using the GooManager app it would not reboot.
I will keep fussing with it and see if I can get TWRP to install.
Oh Bam! I got TWRP working.
Beautiful. I just need to find a ROM to use now..

Keep in mind if you're S-on you'll need to install the kernel separately from the ROM. For more info hit the top link in my sig.

Thank you! I will attempt to use Moonshine to get S-OFF
I was going to download this ROM would I then just download the S-OFF Version?
I was going to do the S-ON before.
If you're S-on use the S-on version.

Ran into an issue.. I was attempting to install CM 11
It has failed on me. Any idea's why?
EDIT: weird note too.. I just went to boot back into the System and TWRP told me I lost Root Permissions.. and it attempted to fix it.. Dunno if it did yet or not.
BAH... Wont reboot back into the System.. Cycles twice and then goes back into TWRP Recovery.
EDIT EDIT: Ok.. So I got some of it fixed.. I ended up getting this Sense 5 ROM installed.. now I am installing this CM 10.2 ROM which seems to be working..
I just can't figure out why CM 11 wont install.

You probably have the wrong twrp for cm11. You need to use the recovery that is in the first post of the cm11 thread. To install it you'll need to do fastboot flash recovery.
You can get it from the first post here

Yeah I noticed I do have the wrong recovery for it.
I will attempt to install the one for CM 11..
Any idea why this Sense 5 ROM I am using will make phone calls but will not send any SMS's to anyone? Just keeps saying failed...
I kinda dig this Sense 5 ROM.. I have not been able to figure it out.
EDIT:
Got the new TWRP.img file installed.. I had a hard time doing it in Terminal Emulator so I just downloaded a freaking app that installed custom recoveries.
So it successfully installed CM11.. Now I am sitting here waiting for it to boot up.
I have the logo spinning around and around.. I hate these boot animations cuz I can never tell if it is stuck in a boot loop or if it is just working hard.
So I will give it 15/20mins.. Then I am not sure wtf to do other than go back to Sense 5.. Which I installed for a second time and I still could not get SMS to send or receive.
Glad you got it to boot.
If it's spinning it will probably boot up.
Since you did moonshine you should have been able to install the recovery with fast boot.
It's a good practice to have.

Hmm. I don't know then. I never tried any of the sense 5 ROMs.
Personally at this point I would flash stock rooted, then self activate, update prl and profile, then call sprint and ask them to refresh my connection with them.
Then verify everything works, create a backup of that, and then go back to cm11.

Hello all. I am new to these forums, and to rooting. Right now I am at a loss for what to do about my phone. I was running 2.1 when I did the one click root for the Droid Eris. When asked to load the rom from a zip file, I loaded Kaosfroyo v32. After rebooting, the phone was on a bootloop at the ANDROID loading screen. Not knowing what to do, a guy I work with Hard Reset the phone. After that I was able to get into Froyo, but now every single time I reboot the phone it asks me to activate my phone. No matter how many times you activate it, the phone has no service through Verizon. At this point I just need to get my phone at a point where it is usable again. Can anybody point me in the right direction?
Thank you for your time.

That just did the exact same thing as before. It says it is activated and wait ~15 minutes for wireless signal, however there is no connection.
Goto wireless settings and change to automatic or whatever is the third/last choice. That should work.

Try booting into recovery and doing a full wipe and then re-flashing the rom.

Amon is Amon Ra Recovery. The black screen with the green colored text. You boot to Amon Ra Recovery by turning your phone off then pressing and holding down Volume down + Power. Hold it until you see the black screen with green texts.

Yea that's the one. Wiping there wont require your phone to be re activated. Once you get it working you can do a backup from that screen as well so next time you'll be able to restore if you have any problems.

Just to make sure I'm doing this correctly: This page says:
Select Wipe-->Wipe Dalvik , then do Wipe Data/Factory Reset.
Correct?
Yup then flash over the 2.1 rom and when it loads up and you go to program the phone it will allow to bring up they keypad so you can press the one key when it makes the call from *228 then once your phone is programed, reboot to amon do a nand backup, and wipe data and davlick. After that flash kaosfroyo.

Hey guys, been awhile since I've been on XDA.
Rode the iOS bus for awhile.
Long story short I went and bought a i-777 earlier today and I did a factory reset via the settings menu then proceeded to do a hard reset to clean the phone out.
I pressed and held the volume down button and pressed and released the power button. A warning about a custom OS popped up and I proceeded and it took me into a screen that said "Odin" at the very top.

You about phone screen looks like the phone has stock Gingerbread installed. UCKK6 was the update version. The phone originally shipped with UCKH7. Yours may have been updated over the air, or later models were shipped with UCKK6.
I've never heard of the button configuration that you describe for this phone. I tried doing the same thing, holding down vol- and short press the power button, but the phone just booted normally. But then I am running a custom ICS rom.
Boot the phone into download mode: with the phone off, hold both volume buttons, but not power, and plug in the usb cable. When you get the warning screen, use the volume up button to go to the download screen. Look at the flash counter information at the top of the screen. That will tell you if the phone has been modified. (Unless they followed my guide on flashing custom firmware without incrementing the flash counter, lol.)
Even if the phone has been modified, that doesn't necessarily mean it has been damaged.

Your phone appears to be stock and to have never been modified. What you are seeing is exactly what would be expected of a phone right out of the box.

Once back on 2.3.4 im going to try and re-root and see how it goes from there, hopefully I can resolve this with out going through extreme mesaures. See kids, this is perfect example of "I didnt take my time to read and reseach before I started pushing buttons." LOL

Yes, zedomax kernel screws over a lot of people. Wish there were some way to warn unsuspecting folks. Actually, the zedomax unroot causes more problems than the rooting kernel.
Glad you've got everything going. Now, just read a few minutes every day, and before long, you'll be up to speed.
Well glad I didn't unroot then. Lol

Any kernel compatible with cm9. You can simply extract the .zip from the rom and flash the boot.img via fastboot (available in Hasoon's tool).
If you still have issues we will need more info about your sytem: s-on? Already on ICS? Which carrier? SuperCID? and anything else you think about.

Maybe you guys can help me out a little bit. Can't get passed HTC screen.
I'm no expert at flashing, but on simple things I know what I am doing. Everything was fine and I wanted to flash Sport stars CM10 ROM. I did a backup on 4ext like I always do and then wipe flash reboot.
The issue here now is that once i flashed cm10 my phone got stuck on the HTC screen. Did my research found out sports ROM that he uploaded wasn't booting up. I instantly went back to 4ext. Wiped data and cache and restored my fourth bar nexus ROM.
Apparently it said the backup was successful yet when ever I boot it stays stuck at the HTC screen. This happened last night and I just can't seem to figure out shaft to do. I wiped, restored still nothing. Wiped download a different ROM. Still nothing.
S-on, T-Mobile
Edit: Also should be noted on last screenshot I never saw this splash screen before in 4ext. Happens the second I boot up in recovery. And in the small rectangle says something about 4ext not being configured due to an app or something.
I think I should be okay if I just flash clockwork and restore, but I'm not entirely sure.

If all else fails, reload a stock ruu via hboot, that'll wipe everything and restore your device to stock, once it boot's, throw on a custom recovery and go through the usuals to get your custom rom.

Flash the kernel in the zip file, which is the rom itself.
If that doesn't help, restore to stock via a ruu then attempt again, remembering to flash the kernel manually, in most cases 4EXT will flash the kernel when you reboot from recovery, it will tell you it has a task to complete, the phone should auto reboot on it's not, no this is not a bootloop, just let it be and it should be fine.

I don't know what happened, but my phone is now working. All I did was wipe, restore (didn't flash a kernel or anything fancy just restored) and the phone booted, shutdown and then rebooted and finally started working. Thank you for helping me.

Just for future reference, anytime anyone has a bootloop issue that they can't fix in 20 minutes or less.. they should just flash the stock RUU. You can flash the RUU, flash a recovery, and restore a rom in a little over 30 minutes, and then you know that ANY quirk you may have had will have been written over.
Since you had an issue like yours, where you did nothing and it started booting, I am thinking you may have something wrong with your partition scheme.. if you have future issues reflash the RUU as it redoes the actual partitions and everything on them.
Hi,
A friend of mine said his Amaze 4G just randomly rebooted into bootloader and couldn't get out so he came to me. This Amaze 4G is completely stock and was never rooted before. I had a hard time believing this until I saw the device (which I have with me right now). It really is stuck in the bootloader. I tried hitting factory reset and clear storage in the bootloader option and all it did was reboot back to bootloader. I tried to HTC Dev unlock, but I can't even run the fastboot command to get the device keys (yes I do have the drivers installed). Any way to solve this. I tried searching the Googles and nothing like this came up sooooo. I have the tools to do pretty much anything just send me the links to what I would need to fix this. My friend needs a phone to use lol... Thanks.
EDIT: I can run Image CRC though. Values in box below.
Code:
rpm: 0xFA0A9E93
sbl1: 0bB33AFDC0
sbl2: 0xD50B8AD
sbl3: 0xA1B5642F
tz: 0x22B51D2E

hboot: 0xE8505494

system: 0xE9F6F87F
Try and download the stock ruu rename it to PH85IMG.zip and put it on ya root of the SD card then see what happens

Its a T-Mobile US one. Probably should have mentioned that in OP. Anyways tried with stock zip renamed to PH85IMG and it didn't seem to work. It loaded up the zip but still rebooted into boot loader. It might be that it doesn't have enough of a charge so I'm just going to leave it in for a while then try again.
Edit: Okay tried it again. It got through checking but didn't do anything. When I rebooted it got to this black screen with a half green android logo. Then rebooted back into boot loader. It was also originally on ICS.

Nope. He said he woke up and it was like that. He's not really one of those people who tinkers with their phone. I checked the MD5 just in case and it matched. Trying again. Almost ready to tell him to take to a T-Mobile store even though there isn't any around.

Just tried the one from the collection thread and it didn't work. Rebooted straight into boot loader again.
Edit. Attached pics of screen I'm stuck on and can't get out of. Also whenever I try to run any fast boot command I get a status malformed error.

So how would I fix that if I can even fix that?
Just thought of using fast boot to flash everything but I don't think it would work since it is S-ON.
Edit: Tried anyways. Signature failed as expected.

If it wont take an RUU then im not sure there is much that you can do
Not that i know of anyway
just my opinion..when i fail S off for the 1st time same happened to me very same..try to flash 4ext from hasoon's AIO ?? if it work then flash a stock rom through smart flash...that worked for me
He can't flash nothing cuz. He is not unlocked and rooted and his fast boot don't work
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda app-developers app
Looks like you'll have to do some research via adb.
With adb you can see the file structure etc..
No file structure but a positive connection means your phone has something funny happening..
Hassoon's kit does things via adb scripts (Automated adb commands)
It only has so many commands to keep it simple and clutter free..
Adb is also capable of forcing things to the phone.. Some of these capabilities are not in Hassoon's kit for good reason..
Your probably fine but it will take some research

Well my friend left and I gave his phone back to him so I can't really do anything right now. Gonna go look and see if there is a way to S-OFF without using HTC Dev since their method doesn't work.

if your gonna tell people to clean contacts they should also do the opposite ones on the phone that those battery contacts touch.
also im skeptical on this as mines rebooted when its not even being held and just sitting there on a table.
thank you for your help, i missed it in the instruction But i never did so
Another solution is trying out different kernels, some might mess with files and cause them to be corrupted. Also, I did some research on the amaze and there's another fix saying that the back cover must be tight and not loose. Not sure if that's a definite solution but people can try it if all else fails! Other information is that apps may have a part in this or maybe you just need to reflash your rom!
I used to have this problem, like it was occurring two or three times a day and it just went away when I flashed the Stock RUU. I stayed on the stock rom for awhile and then moved to the ViperA rom. It's been about a month, that I haven't seen a random reboot on my phone!

Thanks! Definitely going to try this.
Agree with kevinrubio1 , try superwipe then install backup again . This could be a kernel issue.

The best kernel out right now imo is the faux v31 kernel. It comes with the matching libs and files.

Try putting a small folded up piece of paper under the battery. That solved the reboot issue with me.

Random Reboot
Hi All
I am encountering Reboot problem for the last 3 days
I had reinstall the Stock Rom ARHD 4.0
Fix permissions
Factory Reset (Both from recovery and Phone settings)
Format Internal SD Card
Formatting Internal SD card resolved the issue for a day but today it started again it reboots every 1-3 minutes :crying:
As soon as I touch the phone it reboots I have doubt to have internal SD card corrupted
I am on faux 31 kernel s-off rooted
Thanks in advance

Hi lalit,
If I were you I would run a RUU because they usually fix software issues. Since you are on Faux 31 I am guessing you have overclocked it, or undervolted it too much and you set it at boot.

I have not touched the CPU/GPU settings
You mean I should restore HTC Stock Firmware
Should I re-lock my BL
Appreciate if you give me a link of latest one and the method
I tried but unsuccessful to get back to Stock RUU
I am little confused sorry for asking

Yes you should run a RUU, but don't worry I am pretty sure that you retain (keep) S-OFF anyway.
To be honest I am not an expert. Ravike14 is way better at troubleshooting than me lol . Hope he comes to aid a brother.
But I hope these can help you.

I think it's best to get the T-mobile one since almost all Amaze 3.6 roms including ARHD, NRG, SuperSense, all my ROMS, etc use the T-mobile base.
Hope it helps and good luck!!! :good::good:

But you already formatted it? Use 4ext to format your internal SD. It will erase everything so copy the data from your internal to your computer.

I am making an update to Super Sense to 3.0, it will be the most feature rich ROM for the Amaze, EVER released here. It has so many options in AROMA that I'm implementing. So maybe you should get 3.0 when it comes out.
Maybe you should go on the Super Sense thread and ask a request to me there. :good: I am taking requests for stuff people want in AROMA. I will try and fullfill them.
Just paste a piece of insulation tape to the opposite side of terminals side of battery. It will surely solve tendon reboots issues.I solved this problem like this now battery is ok.
