Did you wiped everything before the flash ?
Sent From My RED 3Dimension
yeah i did wipe everything, and i did get roms to load, but everyrom that i try now gets to the actual rom and keeps giving me errors, like htc.bg process force close
did you follow the instructions on how to flash miui to a phone with hboot 1.5 or did you just do it blindly thinking it will work? if you didnt follow the instructions your kernel did not flash
plus you can always mount your sd-card in recovery to transfer a different ROM, zip, ect.......
I have tried a lot of different things. i have loaded into twrp pushed roms then fastboot load recovery then installing with twrp and i seem to get the same results with every different rom.

What radios are you on software? You should stick with a rom that is built off the latest updates. I have been waiting on a rom to drop built off the latest software update. Are you on the latest software? If you try running old roms built off 2.3.3 and your kernel and radios are the latest you will have issues no matter what you do.
i think i may have been trying flash it all wrong i dont really know what i did right this time but i got it loaded so making a nandroid back up right now thanks for all your guys help
For some reason I can only run stock rooted on my Rezound. I've tried both Clockwork and Amon Ra with no success. I know how to flash ROMs, this is my 6th or 7th Android phone and my 3rd HTC Android phone.
I just relocked my bootloader and flash the stock RUU to restart from scratch and start over. Still, I can't flash ROMs. I put my ROM on the sd card, boot into recovery and wipe data/cache. Then I go into the boot loader and flash the kernel. Then, I just get stuck at the HTC screen forever. It's extremely frustrating considering I'm coming from the Galaxy Nexus where I was running an ICS ROM (not the stock one) and I thought the Rezound looked cool so I picked it up. But now I'm stuck on GB.
Am I doing something wrong or missing something? When I first unlocked the phone Saturday I tried to flash an ICS ROM but got stuck at the HTC screen. Then I flashed a different one successfully but it was buggy so I flashed a GB ROM and played with that for a little bit. After that I got stuck and couldn't flash anything without getting stuck at HTC, so I flashed a stock, rooted ROM and from then on that's all I've been able to use.
Edit: So I just tried manually flash the boot.img from the PH98IMG folder by doing fastboot flash boot boot.img and it successfully flashed yet I'm STILL stuck at the HTC screen.... The method ONLY works for the stock ROM for me.

What kernel's are you flashing and what roms ? I know I have ran into trouble with the anthrax kernel with having to flash a stock GB kernel first . It seems for me at least going from GB to ICS or vice versus I have the best luck using stock kernels first. Once, the rom is loaded it has been easy to switch to custom kernels.
So maybe make sure for the GB roms your flashing the stock , unsecured kernel and for ICS the " leaked kernel " that everyone is using for a base.

I'm just flashing whatever kernel comes with the ROM. By that I mean the PH98IMG file that contains the boot.img. Or should I be actually flashing a kernel in recovery?

So your taking the boot.img out and flashing it in fastboot ? that should be fine . Otherwise , put the PH98IMG on the root of the SD card and flash the rom in recovery then reboot to the bootloader (Amon Ra) and let the PH98IMG flash the kernel then reboot phone.
Try one of the ICS ROM's that have the kernel built into the install and follow the instructions which is basically flash ROM in recovery, let it boot to bootloader, press power, vol up when asked etc.
If they offer a separate ph*.zip then it is not automatic

So I have been doing it right. I've done that many times and it hasn't worked. I'm messing around with other kernels now, I just flashed this kernel on my stock ROM and it's working, so maybe I can flash an ICS kernel on an ICS rom and everything will work. We'll see.
I installed CleanRom and the kernel it came with and it does one thing differently......... it boots to the HTC screen then after about 10 seconds it reboots back to recovery. This is driving me nuts, I can't flash ANY rom. CleanRom has never worked for me but I did manage to flash a few roms RIGHT after getting the phone on Friday.
I've only been able to successfully install BAMF Rezound Cubed 1.0.2 which is a GB ROM. I've tried to installed Ineffabilis v1.3 which is also a GB ROM but it remains stuck at the HTC screen.
I believe the only other ROM I've been able to flash successfully is Ineffabilis-Deus-v1.0.2-Odex-ICS 4.0.3 sense 3.6, which IS an ICS ROM.

I think BAMF Cubed changes/upgrades your mainver. You should get a "mainver is older" error when flashing the ph98. IMG. Is it possible that you got the error but didn't see it-looking away at the time? If so, the easiest way around the mainver issue -imo- is scott's cleanflash tool.
There are many threads about mainver issues. It may be worth checking.
Edit- I re-read the thread, I may be wrong, dunno.
CleanRom will reboot to fastboot after flashing, press power and wait a second or two to install the kernel. This won't work if you DO have the newer mainver.
Hope this was helpful.

As far as Ineffabilis GB, I haven't updated to v1.3 but I can tell you for v1.0 it stays on the white HTC screen for quite a while before booting up. Maybe you didn't wait long enough?

So does CleanROM. First boot is a lesson in patience.
I put my ROM on the sd card, boot into recovery and wipe data/cache. Then I go into the boot loader and flash the kernel. Then, I just get stuck at the HTC screen forever.

It sounds like you're missing the part where you, you know, actually flash the ROM. The kernel zip and the ROM zip are separate; the kernel (normally found in PH98IMG.zip) is flashed in hboot/fastboot, the ROM (where the zip is called whatever) from recovery. It doesn't matter which order you flash them, but if you flash an ICS kernel and you try to boot before flashing the ICS ROM, for example, you'll get stuck on that white HTC screen when trying to boot.
Many ROMs have a script built in that when you flash the ROM in recovery it will create a PH98IMG.zip and automatically reboot you to the bootloader so you can flash the kernel. It is done this way because if you put the PH98IMG.zip on your sdcard and flash that first you'll have trouble getting back into recovery to flash the ROM after. The hboot won't let you select recovery with that file on the sdcard (obviously, reboot recovery from the OS/ADB still works, but if you reboot and flash the kernel first, you have no way into recovery without removing the sd card). I usually only copy the ROM to my sdcard (not the kernel) to prevent getting locked out of recovery. Go into recovery, wipe data/cache/dalvik, install zip from SD, select the ROM (not the PH98IMG.zip kernel), then reboot into the bootloader and manually fastboot flash boot boot.img. Obviously you don't have to do it that way, that's just my usual method.
Hope this helps somewhat.

I waited like 5 minutes, I know the initial boot process usually takes longer but it usually doesn't sit at the HTC screen for a long period of time, it just seems to hang on the boot animation but I can't even make it that far.

All CleanRom does is sit at the HTC screen for about 5 or 6 seconds, then it restarts into recovery on it's own. Both the ICS and GB CleanRoms do this.

I am flashing the ROM. Most roms just put the PH98IMG then automatically take you to the bootloader to flash the kernal. I've done that, probably 10 times. Then I manually flash the kernel when required too.
Like I said, this is my 7th Android phone, 3rd of which being HTC. I've been flashing ROMs since December of 2009 when the original Droid was rooted. I'm not new to this, that's why I don't understand why I'm having such a difficult time.
Hello , thank you for reading this. I'm trying to fix my amaze, it's stuck on the HTC boot logo. Phone was running latest tmobile rom, i unlocked the bootloader and rooted it to remove some tmobile bloatware using bloat freezer. Well the phone kept having these weird problems so i looked to install a custom rom. I installed clockworkmod recovery and then put my downloaded rom which was in a ZIP file onto the sd card. I booted into recovery, made a backup, then wiped data, then wiped dalvick cache or w/e it's called. wiped partition, then installed the ROM. the initial setup went good, phone said successful boot but when i restart it stays on the boot logo. So after some reading it looks like i didn't flash the kernel. So i found the boot.img file in the rom zip file but now i'm not sure what to do with it. I can boot into recovery but that is it. How can i flash the kernel with just clockwork recovery mod? Please help! I obviously would really like to get my phone up and running.
So as of now i have some custom roms on the SD card along with the OEM Ruby rom. I tried installing the tmobile stock ruby rom and it just says install aborted and it can not install. What should i do now? I juts want to get the phone working now. Thanks
Install 4ext recovery, it will flash the kernel for you, just make sure to turn on smartflash in the settings before you flash a rom if you're still S-On. If you're S-Off, then no need for smartflash

thank you. is there a way to install 4ext when the phone is just in recovery mode? my phone is just at the clockwork recovery main home screen right now. i can mount the drive and put files on the phone but that is it. thanks again
Okay so the tmobile stock rom is on the sd card. I renamed it to PH85IMG.zip and booted into hboot mode, it found the zip package and there was a loading bar. But then it went back to the boot screen. I tried restarting and it wouldn't move past the HTC quietly brilliant screen. I tried using the all in one tool kit to flash 4ext but it just keeps saying waiting for device. Pretty sure it wont work in clockworkmod recovery. Starting to get worried

Too flash the T-Mobile ruu you would have to relock your bootloader first.
As for flashing 4ext with the toolkit, when it said waiting device, were you in the bootloader, or did u select fastboot?
sent from my
NRGized amaze
powered by Faux
i think he was in recovery. ok so flash 4ext with the toolkit (i think you need to be in fastboot for the toolkit to flash it). then go to tools(in 4ext recovery) scroll down till the end and make sure smart flash is enabled (when it says enable smart flash means its not enabled and you need to click that, if it says disable smart flash then dont touch it you re good). then you can install a custom rom and it wont boot loop
hope this helps
hey guys thank you so much for taking time to help me! i got it flashed with 4ext and now using smartflash i'm able to flash roms onto it. so relieved to get it working, thanks again!

So i unlocked my phone and decide to flash a custom rom. I have an ATT HOX+ that was on 4.2.2. I rooted and installed CWM Advanced Edition PhilZ Touch recovery and then stupidly forgot to backup then wiped and installed the rom. the Rom i used AOKP Pure unofficial international. I flashed the img file first as well but didnt fix the stuck at boot screen with it saying initiating swagger. I think i should not be using this rom because my phone is from ATT. So bootloader still works, recovery still works i just cant mount my phone so i can send any more roms to try. And i cant push any zip to my phone. So im kinda stuck on what to do. Any Suggestions? Currently phoneless

Why would it boot........????
Please do some reading......
The recovery itself the CWM Advanced Edition PhilZ Touch recovery is For INTERANTIONAL MODEL
Please note enrc2b means international HTC One X+ not AT&T
Please flash this recovery and for the list of custom ROM's for AT&T model refer to this thread
Got the phone working. Finally found a stock RUU that worked. and yah i didnt do enough reading prior to flashing this rom. Thanks for your help. Hopefully a 4.4 rom comes out for the ATT HOX+ soon.
hello friends wanted to know if I could help with a rom I put my htc Rezound which was its official rom 4.0.3 with locked bootloader unlock with which HTCDev because my wifi and bluetooth problems and change the boot.img and the cell was bricked me in htc screen and there is no step more, then install android systen recovery and install the rom you liquidsmooth and kenel funky but the Rezound stays in the animation of the rom and there does not pass I wonder if someone could help me I'm s-on bootloader unlock if any rom that works well with me these try installing an exe ruu but I think the 115 Error error loading the image. Thanks I hope to fix my htc.
What recovery did you use? Did you ever flash the boot.img after flashing the ROM? Also, you can't run a RUU without really being S-OFF. If you want some good ROMs, try out Chucktr's CM 11, bunchies Liquid smooth 3.2, or some other newer ROMs. Any should do. But after flashing them in recovery. You have to flash the boot.img manually in fastboot. Or else you will be stuck on boot logo forever. If you want to get back to stock, we can do that after you get booted.
