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.

(Q) No download mode, Odin only.

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.

Now, I bought this phone through a second hand electronics store and I'm wondering if this phone has been improperly rooted and I just picked up someone else's headache.
If that's the case I plain on returning it.

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.
"Odin Mode

Is what I'm looking at, then it has Andy and "downloading....do not turn off target!!"

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.
Good Odin threw me off.
My other problem is now I'm rooted with broken wifi, running around I'm circles trying to figure this one out. :/
Tried flashing cm7 stable with no success to rid of this stock rom and modified kernal that provides root access.

No I've been trying in recovery only. I used my PC earlier to download cm7 then moved it to my phone.
Wipe/factory reset
Wipe cache
Wipe Dalvik
Then proceed to flash ROM and get some kind of a signature failure..

Downloading their "unroot" tar now to flash in Odin, which should put me back on 2.3.4 which I beleive the original root method was designed for.
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
I just wanna run CM7 dammit!

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
Got cm7 running like the old days, used to have a aria, captivate, inspire and nexus s. Feels good to be back.

Can't install Rom only have CWM left

Hi Xda,
I decided to revert back to stock, got a MD5 checksum error on my nandroid backup (which was in the phone storage). Decided to use one of the custom ROMs which were available on my external SD or even a nandroid backup of my current system but to my surprise CWM won't recognize my external SD anymore and I already wiped cache, system data, and all that stuff clean so I have no OS anymore. Note that until very recently CWM could see my external SD and if I plug it in another phone it works fine so that eliminates the possibility of it being corrupted. I also tried to plugin my usb cable and tried to mount it but got an error. I had another nandroid backup on the phone which worked 5 minutes prior but I deleted it which was obviously a stupid move.
tl;dr: Wiped my phone clean, only have CWM left. Through CWM I Couldn't mount usb, external SD doesn't work anymore, and nandroid backup on the phone storage failed the checksum. What should I do?
if your phone is working download rom manager and flash recovery thru the app...first find the new rom you want and gapps...then flash thru rom manger recovery....then when your done..make sure you make a backup this time....the roms now thru recovery only show sd card because when making backups its more secure..they don't get erased ...
Thanks for your reply but my phone is no longer working CWM is the only thing I have left
reflash cwm with Odin
Get the Odin version HERE
Load it in the pda slot of Odin, out phone in download mode, connect to pc, and let her rip
That version will see the external sd, the new one from Rom manager will not..
Or, get into cwm, mount your USB storage, copy ROM to phone, flash, sigh in relief, feed the zombie...

^^ op says he tried that and "got an error"
But yes, feed the zombie, I'm starving!
Just because you wiped everything doesn't mean you only have cwm left. You just have a fresh install of whatever Rom you were running when you did all the wipes. You can reboot into the Rom and move backups around or flash the latest cwm of you're on an old one.
Have you tried just rebooting and moving whatever junk to internal or whatever you need?

I'm guessing he hit the wipe data/factory reset option in cwm. Which wipes data and factory resets and leaves you with a fully functional Rom. He never said he formatted /system but maybe reading comprehension isn't your thing. Thanks for being an ass though.

I'm thinking he only thinks he has no os, he has not mentioned ever trying to reboot. Seeing as he's being noobish (no offense), I'm guessing he's following the standard procedures of pretty much every tutorial and ROM OP, and simply wiping data/factory reset and clearing caches. Thus he should have a nice clean os. I could be completely wrong and he formatted everything, but I doubt that is the case.
I realize assuming can be bad, but I'm just trying to help him in the absolute simplest way possible which seems quite reasonable. :thumbup:

Thanks a lot for the help everyone specially yollasho and studacris and I'm sorry if I caused an argument. I never formatted the phone. I just did data/factory reset, deleted cache and dalvik. I tried to boot to the phone and I did get the custom ROM's splash screen but it never booted so I made the assumption that I lost my OS. I will carefully read the advice everyone gave me again and I will report back once I hopefully get it fixed.
son of a ....
Hahaha well, it's not often i have to say this...but I'm sorry dude, you were right.
Still stand by everything i said....but, my foot tastes funny
Saw this looking for roms for wife's new Note and thought I'd chime in. Since you have cwm, try booting your phone into recovery, and push a new rom to your sd card with adb and flash that.
What you'll do is boot your phone into recovery, connect to your computer and then from a cmd prompt :
1) adb devices
(you should see your device I'd here)
2) adb push somerom.zip /sdcard/somerom.zip
(see transfer here....)
Obviously you'll need to be in the directory on your computer that contains your rom and have your path variable set so you can run adb from anywhere. Then reboot your phone back into recovery, flash, be happy. Hope that helps!

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.

Flash the kernel for fourth bar manually.
Or reflash fourth bar, then do an advanced restore and restore your data only.

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.

Did you manually reflash the kernel like I told you to?

How'd I go about doing that? Never had to manually flash a kernel before.
Edit: Researched, flashed Fourth Bar, flashed an ICS kernel. Rebooted Reflashed the kernel. Rebooted, still nothing.

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.

frozen wet nerf brick?

Hello all.
I'm coming from a droid charge. I had it rooted mostly for the adfree and titanium backup. I have rooted various friends phones and I am familiar with the process of sorts. My issue is similar to what has been posted previously but with a twist.
I used CASUAL to root/unlock. That went without a hitch but I think I went too far. Once I was at the TWRP screen and was looking at the buttons for wiping I went ahead and wiped everything, one at a time. Now I am stuck at the note II screen. I can get into download mode. The Note II screen just sits there staring at me. I'm not in a loop at all.
Did I completely wipe everything off my phone? LOL. I'm downloading multiple restore/roms as I type this.
I don't think I would call this a bricked phone other than saying I squishy bricked it, kinda like a nerf brick. that I put in the freezer. it still hurts but it'll be ok I'm sure.
Anyway. Before I go further I would like some advice as how to proceed.
I'm not looping at the Note II screen, it just stays there. Thus why I think I wiped everything off of it.
Thanks in advance, and yes you can call me a blockhead if you feel the desire.

When you wiped, it wiped system and this is why it doesn't boot. Always make a backup first.
You have 2 options:
1. Download and factory restore with ODIN. Look at the stickies. There are restores that do not relock the bootloader and do not wipe data.
2. Download a custom ROM and use ADB to push it to the SD card in TWRP. This requires a little more know how but can get you up and running a little quicker.
Good luck!
Thanks

You can also put a ROM on the external SD card and boot into TWRP and flash it.

Only problem here is my inability to boot into TWRP. I can get into ODIN download mode and that is it. I keep reading the warnings of using ODIN after using CASUAL. Now I'm a little worried.

Nope I'm using the VOL DOWN, power and home.
I just did your suggestion and get the System software not authorized blah blah, go to the nearest VW store.
Rut row. Now what. Guess I should do more reading.
Used imnuts Alt restore file. It got me back into my phone, bless you imnuts.
My phone is back to 4.1.1. Now to get back to 4.1.2
How does one get back to stock 4.1.2? I tried imnuts stock image but it seems to just keep me at 4.1.1
If I have to flash the modem and GPS to be the same than so be it.
OK, I took the OTA. I'm back to 4.1.2. Sorry to be all panicking about my phone. I was worried I was going to brick this in a bad way.
Because of all this I am so very thankful to all involved. This took me some searching and a lot of reading.
Now I will retry CASUAL and not mess it up lick I did the first time.
glad you got it back, remember VOL UP = Recovery VOL DOWN = Download mode.
Yup yup.
Thanks Eris.
BTW, turn off your antivirus program when running CASUAL.
I'm good and very happy I finally got the dang thing rooted with SU installed. Now I can finally back up the whole thing and start freezing the bloat.
It's a good day
I tip my hat to all of you devs. Good job guys. :good:

You can't get back to 4.1.2 using Odin, you have to unlock and flash back to a 4.1.2 ROM or take the OTA.

HTC Recovery Issue

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.

Yeah CM 11 finally booted up.
I can make phone calls but I cannot send or receive SMS. Same issue I was having with the Sense 5 ROM.

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.
