Was running NRG GB just fine. When giving the phone to the wife I decided to upgrade to ICS. Used CWM to wipe data, cache, etc, and installed, got freeze on HTC logo. Started using Superwipe before each try and also tried flashing several different kernels including the one inside the zip and the one included with the amaze stock kernel flasher. Now the best I can get is 5 seconds into the Energy spinning rings logo before a 5s freeze and reboot.
The only thing I haven't tried is firmware; I've seen references to "find it on the forums" but copious forum and google searches don't seem to lead to the ICS firmware itself. Can anyone help with that or point out what I'm forgetting?
In the meantime I will try installing the ICS stock ROM first and see where that gets me.

Do just that, remember to lock your bootloader if you're s-on and yes, jumping to an ICS rom without updating your device caused the bootloop.

Thanks for the reply! I'm downloading PH85IMG_RUBY_ICS_35_S_TMOUS_2.14.531.3_Radio_1.14.550L.17DC_30.78.550L.15_release_259626_signed.zip from filefactory, it's taking forever. Am I flashing this with CWM? Or should I be downloading a GB factory ROM and using that instead, then re-locking the bootloader and trying to update over the air?

Don't download that one, it has issues, hold up, I'll give you a link to the most recent file.
Here, get this: http://d-h.st/3VD
Download speed should be faster as well. rename it PH85IMG and place it on your sd card after you relock your bootloader, then boot into bootloader, it's gonna detect the file and ask you if you wanna update, follow the on screen instructions to update, voila! Follow the basics to install the new energy rom.
It's almost as tho NO One reads anymore. It's actually getting kinda ridiculous how many times the same issue is gonna be asked.
I know this post isn't very helpful but I'm sure most of the recognized/senior/not noobs members are getting frustrated.

It is useful, I fully agree with you, it's like we come here to answer the same questions over and over, but I'm just trying to be nice, cause I usually just say, read the amaze bible, but then they go and do something even more noobish, so to avoid the tear jerks I just give the basic info, though I'm fading away slowly.
Thanks'd for the link and the help. I was gonna get mad about being called a noob who can't read, but I guess it's a small price to pay for instant, free help. Keep on rockin' XDA.
I came across this issue. As earlier posts said, install the new ICS update. The partitions were messed up and the ruu will clean it up.

Lol, never pointed fingers buddy, so calm down.
Maybe I should create a new topic but my issue is similar to this one except for the fact that I read quite a lot and tried quite a few things.
My situation is that I made a backup with cwm only booted not flashed so I have the 100% stock backed up, after this I flashed cwm and tried to install the Energy rom based on ics and that was my mistake as I used to be on a Nexus device I didn't have to worry about this.
So I got stuck on a bootloop and tried factory reset/wiping everything, tried to reinstall a stock ROM (t-mobile one as I only found a .exe for the videotron one and I did not feel like exploring the exe as I am a Linux user) by relocking bootloader and using the HTC method, tried to install manually the stock Kernel with Energy ROM using adb and fastboot commands, tried to restore my backup but nothing seems to work, I'm still bootlooping.
Is-it possible to s-off without a regular adb access (only the cwm adb access)? And would s-off allow me to flash anything as I wish? Is there a way to have any ROM working on my device? (i know the answer is yes to the last one, at least )
Thanks!

Maybe I'm a noob on this forum but it's far to be the first time I face a problem in software configuration/installation and I read quite enough (spent about five hours on xda, google, etc.) to say that you should at least help me a bit by linking me to a thread where I can find an answer.
I know my mistake was to install ics at first but now I flashed the stock recovery back, I relocked the bootloader via fastboot and put the file on the root of my sdcard renamed correctly that it be detected automaticly (and it apparently does install) but I still got the * bootloop.
I'm able to read a manual and to read the Amaze 4G bible four times to try to point out the detail I forgot. I made my homework and now it would only be nice from you that you help me a bit...

Okay okay, calm down, there's currently only one method of going about restoring your device since you're s-on and no you cannot s-off with just cwm adb, I think JB s-off method is only an exe file, never saw linux files anywhere on his site. Anyways, you have to use the GB exe for videotron and restore to stock via it then update to ics to use the most recent energy rom, BUT if you just want a working device, this is just an idea, though it should work fine, you can flash a custom recovery and flash the GB version of energy rom, you should be able to restore your backup as well, but you said you can't, which is odd, it may be because of the kernel not being flashable as since CWM cannot flash kernels while s-on, in which case I'd advise you to get 4EXT recovery and then try restoring your back once again, it should work fine since 4EXT can flash kernels while S-ON.
My two cents.
Well, 4ext doesn't works, apparently it flashes correctly but I can't boot in it so can't even try to restore my backup, s-off doesn't works from cwm and my device has to be booted to work with Videotron's exe (or I badly installed my drivers, I nerver understand properly the 899363 drivers per device I have to install for an android phone on Windows?)
Smells bad... I checked the 4ext's md5sum and it's alright, I took it from the fastboot installable img in direct dl from the thread in the Amaze bible.
Any idea?
Oh and there is a JB s-off executable for Linux on his site. After all I guess it is mostly adb commands?

I got lost halfway through that post, after flashing a rom, if the kernel isn't flashed (reboots and does it automatically), then flash the kernel manually, should boot fine, does anyone ever really read anymore? This very issue both s-on and s-off has been answered more times today than I can count. If you read the details on JB's site, you'd see and know all you need to.
Right, I'va already flashed manually the stock kernel as sais in the NRGRom thread without success before my first post here, will look at different kernels.

How did you go about flashing the kernel?
Sent from my SGH-T679 using xda app-developers app
There was a flash.sh file in the zip with the kernel, I couldn't run it normally as I can't boot but I went in cwm (maybe I should have used 4ext, don't think so for this part) executed the adb commands there were in the sh file with all filesystems mounted, rebooted into fastboot and flashed the kernel image. Maybe there are differents /system when in cwm and when booted on regular system... Will figure that out when I have time to spend on this, as soon as possible.
Thanks for all the cues!

Okay here's a few tips, cwm cannot flash kernels with son devices, get 4ext recovery for that. Second thing, reflash the from after doing a super wipe, if 4ext doesnt reboot and flash the kernel, do it manually, ill assume you know how to use ad, if not check my Bible tutorial on it, use the boot command for flashing boot images, take the boot file from the zip file, place it in the folder where your adb files are and flash it to your device while its in fastboot mode.
Sent from my SGH-T679 using xda app-developers app
Well, I think I have done all you mention above, the only thing i'm not sure to understand is what you mean by "super wipe" I found some executables about it but I guess it can't do much more than the flash all partitions (except external sdcard) in 4ext recovery wich I finally managed to install properly.
So, I made that global formatting thing, I tried to install an ICS based ROM and 4ext rebooted to install kernel, same bootloop. Tried to install manually the kernel that came with this rom via the classic fastboot flash boot boot.img. Same bootloop. Tried to put the modules manually via the recovery adb access (performing a mount -a in adb shell to have everything present in fstab mounted) and flashing this stock kernel with no more success.
Achieved the same operations with a GB based ROM (this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535173) with both the faux and the stock kernel without any more success.
Did I miss something? Am I so dumb? Do you have any other rom to suggest that have higher chances to succeed?
Do you think trying to restore my sotck nandroid with 4ext has more chances to succeed?
Thanks, again and always!
Yes I have searched, yes I have tried google and yes I am still stuck...
I *think* I have tried just about everything and I have read through about 10 "soft brick" or "stuck on samsung screen after rooting on stock ICS" (and most combinations of) but nothing is working. I'm sure it's probably an easy fix but I just can't seem to get anywhere. Here's what happened.....
I googled rooting galaxy not after ICS update and found this http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-no...y-note-sgh-i717-icsgingerbreadeasiest-method/
It was all I could find about rooting after the ICS OTA update, so I did it. Everything seemed fine. I had CW but no superuser so I DL it from the market as well as my old Titanium pro from back when I rooted my HTC. I rebooted my phone to get it all settled in and decided to run Titanium and get this party started. I got an error message that busybox was not installed so.... I installed it but when I clicked the app on my phone it said it would not install because I didn't have root access.... This is where the confusion starts to set in.
So I restarted to see if I could get into CW but when I rebooted the soft brick started.... I was stuck at the "samsung" screen.
I IMMEDIATELY ran to XDA and began my search. I can still get to DL mode, Odin and CW so I know there is hope. I tried the files listed in the "All in one guide for noobs" and the "Galaxy Note Super Everything Thread (I717)".
There was a suggestion to use Kies but when I put in my serial # and model name i get the "galaxy note does not support initializing" message.
I'm not new to flashing/rooting, although things are a bit different, I have a basic understanding of the process but I ain't no Einstein either...
I also tried to flash the stock Telus ICS rom but I got an error message and my lil droid guy went belly up....
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I love my note and this is killing me...
I have to go to work so if I don't reply immediately its because I have no email access at work.... Especially without my Note....
The steps are correct in the link you gave.
Did Odin3 say success?
Did you get CWM installed?
Did you flash superuser?
Is there a superuser icon in your apps?
Ranger is on it....
I'm thinking we dont have CWM on the device....????
And no SU flash, from within the recovery that doesnt exist....g
He has cwm, he did not flash superuser, Looks like he assumed flashing cwm would automatically root him.
Since you can get into recovery... i would just go ahead and download a Rom zip, transfer to phone by mounting in cwm (mounts and storage if you didn't know) and flash that sumbitch
Oh yep...found that.......Thanks brother....g
That means do or redo steps 13 to 16 in the guide you posted.
agreed....g
im back...
Just got in, thanks for the replies.
Yes I have CWM and can access it. I have tried to flash the CM roms as well as the stock telus ICS rom but was denied at install. I got a "assert failed getprop (ro.build.device)" message and 2 other "ro." error messages when I install the cm nightly quincyatt rom.

Yup, thats the one I flashed, its working and I get a successful message when I flashed SU so I assume its there also. Any recommendations of a rom to try and flash? Still hanging at the samsung screen.....
I appreciate the help by the way, I know how frustrating it can be to try and help with tech situations from emails and messages (Hi Mom ).
Thanks has been pushed....
That assert error is in the script used by CWM to flash and it is saying 'wrong rom for your device'. So for sure you have the correct CWM and rom for your phone? Just checking because errors at this point make your phone useless.

Okay... so I flashed the stock ATT with odin. just at start screen now.... Don't think it is rooted so now.... How do I get back to telus and root right the first time?
Edit: so it appears the ATT rom was a GB ver so I am assuming that I was somehow reverted to GB instead of my stock ICS. Now to try and flash a stock Telus GB rom, update then try to root.... AGAIN! Thank gawd I don't have a $600 paperweight now!

Ok, take it easy for a few days. Just read up and, now that you've survived the worst scenerio, you might want to try a more custom rom or other modifications. Pretty soon you will be pulling someone else's a$$ out of the fire. Good luck.

You can load recovery? Put the RUU on your sdcard by mounting your sdcard inside of recovery. Maybe that will work???
heres a program i use for unlocking my bootloader/locking and flashing recovery's
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1734365
i know it says (one x) but it does work with other phones. been using it on my rezound
go to your bootloader and than enter fastboot and connect to your pc using usb
than put your RUU (latest is 4.03.605.2) in the zip folder which is in the one click main folder
make sure that zip is named as PH98IMG
than launch the program than in the menu choose (RUU - Advanced) than choose the zip from the drop down menu and click perform action
(i havent tried this option yet but im sure it works!, im probably going to test right now just to make sure)
EDIT: BTW you dont need to relock your bootloader for installing a new RUU. i flash my RUU with it unlocked/S-OFF all the time, you only have to remember to flash your custom recovery after the RUU if you use one
My bad it was a typo, i couldnt load recovery, but i ended up finding a way to make my drivers work and could make contact with my phone and unlocked my bootloader. Am currently flashing a RUU, and afterwards am going to try and install EclipticRez, and hopefully it will work this time
If not can you suggest any other popular, stable ROMs?

It might also help to post what ROM you were running, along with what two kernels you flashed. Certain kernels only work with certain ROM's (AOSP kernels don't work on Sense ROM's, and vice-versa).

This is my first attempt at really rooting/adding kernels just messing around and doing damage.

Hit the top link in my sig. I think you'll find what you're looking for there. Sounds like you may need to reflash your recovery from the bootloader via fastboot. Assuming that works, you need to due a full system wipe from recovery, then flash a ROM.

Do forgive me, I am reading your thread and advice.
I am just running on zero sleep in the past 4 days and trying to fix this all day.
The bootloop is gone now that I have flashed the TWRP recovery Stock recovery and Twrp again.
The stock recovery was still giving me the twrp startup screen (disclaimer at the HTC screen)
I also don't quite get what to do via Hboot 2.09 (what I have)
All the ROM's with the kernels are in a zip that needs to be opened via TWRP well the ones I download...
I have wiped the ceche/delvik etc... fear I wiped the whole thing by accident rendering the device empty.
My android's exe file doesn't seem to be about either.
Android version: 4.1.1
Software: 3.17.650? (The most recent for Evo commercially)
When I do attempt a Stock restore via fastboot flash not exe file I end up getting the red ! next to my phone and the phone doesn't reboot naturally.
Do I need to hunt down ROM's and Kernels that I can flash into the cmd?
I understand with my version I must flash in the using the prompt and have them separate but I am totally new at this I feel really dumb I'm sorry if I am bothering you with redundant questions I am attempting to follow and get the information but I think I am reading so many different threads on it I am suffering from information overload (artist not a programmer lol.)

Do forgive me, I am reading your thread and advice.
I am just running on zero sleep in the past 4 days and trying to fix this all day.
The bootloop is gone now that I have flashed the TWRP recovery Stock recovery and Twrp again.
The stock recovery was still giving me the twrp startup screen (disclaimer at the HTC screen)
I also don't quite get what to do via Hboot 2.09 (what I have)
All the ROM's with the kernels are in a zip that needs to be opened via TWRP well the ones I download...
I have wiped the ceche/delvik etc... fear I wiped the whole thing by accident rendering the device empty.
My android's exe file doesn't seem to be about either.
Android version: 4.1.1
Software: 3.17.650? (The most recent for Evo commercially)
When I do attempt a Stock restore via fastboot flash not exe file I end up getting the red ! next to my phone and the phone doesn't reboot naturally.
Do I need to hunt down ROM's and Kernels that I can flash into the cmd?
I understand with my version I must flash in the using the prompt and have them separate but I am totally new at this I feel really dumb I'm sorry if I am bothering you with redundant questions I am attempting to follow and get the information but I think I am reading so many different threads on it I am suffering from information overload (artist not a programmer lol.)

if youre S-OFF then you can just use ViperRUU and then reunlock your device.

S-ON.
I am attempting to download MeanBean after reading Fin's Fix.
Though I don't know if FlashImage GUI will work.
I also have to figure out how to flash .apk files too...
Sorry about the bother... I really am far below Novice at this I should have had someone holding my hand step by step lol.
Okay, so the problem with the Kernel originally was it wasn't compatible?
Then the next one with the service error was I suppose the same thing?
Then when I tried to restore apparently I wiped my phone of all Data resulting in a bootloop and being no one has the exe file for the factory RUU of the latest version for the Evo 4g LTE I had no way of restoring any of the files?
So then I stalked Fin's suggestions eventually lead me to MeanBean. at least it got me up and running... I attempted to back up with TWRP.
Which apparently doesn't work (I have to learn how to backup else where... Lets add it to my list.)
But after I attempted the back up I also attempted the instillation of "Operation Jelly Bean" I love the ROM I love the theme I love the sleekness
Apparently I am missing something with my touch panel software. I wish I could have kept the ROM but couldn't sadly (If you know what I am doing wrong I would love to keep that ROM in the future)
So with another failed ROM I tried to restore... which there was no restore when I went to do so... I was a little frustrated from my constant bricking as is...
I attempted factory restore apparently also wiped everything (Internal sd, external, everything.) I don't know what is up with that do you have any clue if its a glitch or am I just wiping it?
I also do Stock restore that does absolutely nothing for my phone anymore...
I will flash it... and it does nothing... it still runs like TWRP (disclaimer etc) but won't go to the twrp boot screen... this is a bit frustrating.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOUR PHONE, FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
ALL FILES HAVE BEEN TESTED AND VERIFIED WORKING PROPERLY!!
I have a few PJ75IMG.zip's files if anyone is interested. I have one to flash STOCK ANDROID RECOVERY only, one to flash T.W.R.P 2.6.3.0 (regular version ONLY) and one to flash T.W.R.P. 2.6.3.0._SElinux ONLY(Thanks to Osirus71 and Deck). SElinux version is needed to flash any CM11 roms.
All are included in ONE zip file,download and extract . Must be S-OFF and MUST place file on root of EXT-SD card for bootloader to read!!! If full RUU is needed,either pm me or look around on here,its here! Let me know if it works for you!!
IF YOUR CONFUSED AS TO WHAT A PJ75IMG.zip FILE IS USED FOR, SEARCH THE FORUMS, IT IS EXPLAINED IN DETAIL!

Your very welcome!!
I appreciate the guys who know how to do this sort of thing putting it out there but the link is dead. Its such a waste of time to figure out what forum message relates to what you need and get 404 File not found (SIGH)

What are you looking for?
the files on the first post in this thread. What I'm trying to do is this. I have two phones that are in boot loops. So looking for a recovery I can load through the scheme of having and pj75img.zip file with twrp or just the stock rom.
I'm sorry if I sounded like a total douche in the previous post. Just too many hits on the search engine that take me to nowhere. And I honestly don't understand what happens to the files. Are they removed for some legal reason? If they were moved why not update the link? Anyhow. Thanks for the concern. Its appreciated at this point.

They were Dropbox links the OP probably just deleted them.
Easiest way to fix your problem is to RUU
3.17.651.9 this was the last official OTA/ RUU sent out by HTC.
[ROM][FIRMWARE][RECOVERY][STOCK] Sense 5, Android 4.3 Final Update - 4.13.651.4 alot of good info.
4.13.651.4 Last official RUU for this device. Read the thread above there is alot of great info before using this RUU.
Official TWRP
I might have this all wrong but here is my problem. Both phones just endlessly boot the HTC screen go dark and repeat. I can't install the update with fastboot, adb etc because there isn't a system thats running right. I don't thing the PC to phone update will work either for the same reason. I've tried naming what I think was the last stock version by putting it in SDRAM (in the root) and of course naming it PL75IMG.zip If I boot into bootloader it loads the img fine. When I reset its failing the same way. The phone is Security on. I don't know if its rooted because it doesn't get far enough to test. Perhaps I'm not loading a signed file?

You have to be s-off to use PJ75IMG files.
RUU should run regardless whether there is a system or not.
RUU = Rom Update Utility
I would like a stock recovery. Trying to bring the phone back to stock, only issue I have is the RUU fails when I run it (i have tried every ruu I could find including viperuu). I finally got one that I thought it was working, but the ruu failed and it brought the me back to 2.09 with now system and recovery kept failing. I dont know what all happened but I was unable to flash anything for a few days. Finally I found a PJ755IMG that got me back on 2.10 and I was able to flash again. I also found a stock sprint rom.zip all I need now is to be back to 100% stock would be, to get it running a stock recovery.
I am getting a "404" message that the files are no longer available... Does anybody have a copy?
