[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rexthunder:
Do this..RE-Flash the THS ROM B16 and that should put you on ICS 4.0.3 with its partitions already formated. Then go through the procedures of wiping cache and ect.. and then flash DarkKnight.. Try that method and see if you can go that route. If all else fails Odin back to stock and try again. I don't see how you keep getting errors unless there's something not compatible with DarkKnight that its rejecting the install.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b-eock:
The ROM works for me -_-
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rexthunder:
I agree. I don't have a problem jumping from this ROM to Dark Knight's. Hmmm? Sounds like a incompatibility issue with a previous install of some kind.

So I can't figure out how to fix this, and have a completely useless phone at the moment, unfortunately.

I wanted to install Virtuous Inquisition. I was coming from ARHD 4.1.10 Gingerbread. This is the process I followed:

1. Downloaded Firmware and ROM from website.

2. Loaded both onto SDCard

3. Rebooted into recovery, PG58IMG did it's work.

4. Formatted / Wiped all Data

5. Installed Virtuous Inquisition

At this point I was thrown into a continuous boot loop. Read up on the forums, apparently Virtuous is only tested for CWM.

Tried installing CWM - downloaded the zip, renamed it PG58IMG.zip, tossed it onto the phone, gets stuck at "Parsing," and fails.

Tried reinstalling firmware again - Creates error "Wrong CID"

Tried installing CWM from the 1st post of the Sensation Rooting Thread, said "Wrong Version."

Completely confused as to how to fix my phone now.

Please, PLEASE help.

Thanks XDA.

Delete all pg58img.zip from SD card, try to reboot and post result.

Leaving the firmware zip in SD root after update causes boot loops.

[HTC Sensation] tropical cactus:
Try the virtuous 2.23 thread. It's a 2.3.4 Rom but it comes with its own firmware. See if that boots up before trying anything else.
[HTC Sensation] gotpriest:
Unfortunately I'm rather unfamiliar with this term - if you mean can I get into the bootloader, yes, and I can get into 4EXT.

I vaguely remember when rooting my phone that I had to connect it to the computer to do some adb things, but have not tried / done that since.

Currently I have a spare SDCard, and am trying the entire process over real quick, then going to try TC's idea.

Update: Loading the Firmware again still gave me the "CID Incorrect!" error in the bootloader.

Update 2:

Going to that thread points you to the Virtuous Site - 2.2.0 Rom is Listed, but the Firmware is not bundled. Trying it anyway right now.
[HTC Sensation] tropical cactus:
If you can get into recovery, then all's not lost.

Edit: sounds like you haven't super cided.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
First and foremost, did you do a nandroid backup before you did any of this? If so just revert back.

Next, in step 3, you said you booted into recovery to flash the PG58IMG. You plain can't do that. All firmware updates are done through the bootloader not recovery.

And you also mentioned, wrong CID. Do you recall ever doing a superCID on your phone? If not, read through http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1459767 to get the correct firmware. IF you go there for the firmware (I suggest 3.24), you do not need superCID on your phone.

GL
[HTC Sensation] gotpriest:
Sorry, wrong wording, I did originally do the PG58IMG through Bootloader.

Quite, *quite* stupidly, I only did a Titanium backup, not a nandroid backup.

I have not done SuperCID on my phone.

Working on multiple options you guys have posted at the moment, y'all type too fast for my SDCard switching speeds!

As a side question at the moment, the Virtuous website mentioned that it has only tested through CWM. I was under the impression that 4EXT, while a different interface, behaved and functioned no differently than CWM. I may be wrong on this, but either way, I cannot get CWM to take control. It won't flash in the bootloader (gets stuck at "Parsing") and installing a Zip of it through 4EXT opens it, but does not make it the primary Recovery method
[HTC Sensation] gotpriest:
Update: The T-Mobile specific firmware is successfully installing at the moment. Will remind self to SuperCID ASAP :/

While talking earlier about nandroid backups, I was curious - I thought nandroid only backed up certain things, IE: Not the firmware. Am I incorrect?

Update 2: The Virtuous Boot animation has gotten far enough for the V to begin pulsing. It has never gotten this far. I think it may actually be going through the "initial" boot up sequence. May take a few minutes.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
I use 4ext for my recovery and works just as well. Just use the firmware in that thread I mentioned. That thread is a great one to read up on. Especially for people who are new to CID terminologies.

---------- Post added at 11:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 AM ----------

The only thing Nandroids do not back up are radios, SD stuff, kernels,firmware and RIL files. The RIL and Radio's are bundled in the rom itself. So essentially the nandroid backs up the ROM itself. Hope that makes sense.
[HTC Sensation] status_six:
Hope its working now? My thought was the problem was firmware you flashed originally not supported by your CID = boot loop.

SupwrCID def recommended!

[HTC Sensation] gotpriest:
Jesus Joseph and Mary you guys saved my Bacon. Working Phone. Thanks to all, particularly kpjimmy for the right firmware link!

Lessons Learned:

1. Don't be an Idiot.

2. Murphy is an Asshole

3. Do nandroid backups

4. SuperCID my phone.

5. Stop trying to Flash ROMS on my phone when I haven't slept in 24 hours.

6. Don't be an Idiot.

Correct, you were on the right track. I have not done SuperCID, so when I installed the Firmware straight from Virtuous, it wasn't T-Mo specific.
[HTC Sensation] tropical cactus:
Happy for you. We've all been to hell and back before.:)
[HTC Sensation] gotpriest:
It actually scared the crap out of me. I switched back and forth between about 5 AOSP ROMS on my MyTouch back in the day, and have done countless ones on my Senny. This was my first firmware update though, so clearly that was the issue - but I should really learn to stop doing these things on weekdays when I urgently need my phone...

Glad it worked. Enjoy VI 3.5. I know I am :)

Hello everyone,

Short and simple....I've f*cked up.

A) I have no recovery flashed to my device

B) Fastboot/ADB is not working with my device, because the original cable it came with got destroyed, and all other microsd cords I've tried, charge only.

C) I have no rom on the phone.

All I have access to is a 8GB microsd card with adapter to read it in my computer.

My phone is useless right now and any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have to ask, how did you end up with no rom or recovery? Have you tried putting a recovery on the phone yet?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1521169

Use the second option (marked easy), granted that works then it should be a matter of loading a rom onto the sd card and flashing?

Good luck!
[HTC Amaze 4G] adslee:
If you can't get into fastboot, you're pretty screwed... Try and get your hands on an original cable
[HTC Amaze 4G] smatthew45:
well good news is that you're not bricked... bad news is that you need a working cable to get into fastboot to flash a recovery as previously mentioned lol

also for future reference this should have been posted in the general sub-forum btw lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] ed116:
im sorry but i think the only difference between the original cable and the USB Cable Micro USB is that i htink the Original cable has a better layout so it doesn't fall out now? like on my other blackberry the usb comes off so quickly. Here its imposible for it to come off. Shouldn't they function the same? it just has a different head size.
[HTC Amaze 4G] alx294:
why dont you trt an RUU? stick that on your sd, boot into hboot, it should flash by itself.

I tried to use the wind RUU, but don't you need to be oem locked, which is done through fastboot?

If I was to gain access to fastboot, what would be recommended to do right away.
[HTC Amaze 4G] zPacKRat:
Why don't you elaborate a little, how did you get to where you are now. What did YOU do to brick the phone?
[HTC Amaze 4G] macheteZen:
First off, this shouldn't be here but in General/Q&A. I'm sure binary will move it there. :D

Secondly, just to go step by step... When you pull the battery and restart while holding the volume down key what happens?

Lastly, I would recommend placing the wind RUU on your sdcard's root.
[HTC Amaze 4G] funkadesi:
Step 1) Visit this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1521162&#65279;<br />Rom||RUU|| Shipped Ruby ROM Collection

Step 2) Download the appropriate PH185,,.zip file to the root of your SD card...

Step 3) Put the sd card in your phone, Boot into HBOOT by Pressing VOL DOWN + POWER together...

When you can get into HBOOT, the system will identify the PH185 image on your card and will ask you if you want to update. Press VOL UP for YES to confirm... and let it flash.

Step 4) Grab a beer and enjoy your Amaze

p.s. If you cant get into HBOOT, than your screwed...
[HTC Amaze 4G] freddy009:
I am able to get into hboot, when I get into hboot, it takes a while for it to read thr file, when it finishes it just dissappears, no prompt to apply update.

I think my usb port is short circuited or something, because sometimes it shows hboot usb, but it flickers on and off. Tried three other wires, only the one shows any sign of usb functionality for me. If going out and buying another wire will help I will go, but I have no idea if it will.

I had the cwm 5.5.504, I had the dual cpu rom on it, but i wanted to change to sense 3.5, and I got stuck in the bootloop. Then when I boot into recovery again, my batt died and now when I try to get into recovery, flashes for a second then goes to white htc screen and hangs there indefinitley.

Usb wires only charge my device as of now.
[HTC Amaze 4G] alx294:
this is why you flash stuff with a full battery... :P you probably got stuck in a bootloop because you didnt flash the sense3.5 kernel, so my first recommendation would be to flash the dual core rom.. but since you cant get into recovery... hm...

HOLD ON. cant you flash the older cwm through hboot?! wasnt that the old method? place the pxxxx.zip on your sd and wait? why dont you try that and see if you cant get into recovery?
[HTC Amaze 4G] freddy009:
Do i rename the wind RUU PH85.img as well? or .zip?
[HTC Amaze 4G] freddy009:
I just went through all these steps, and then the PH85IMG.zip loads and reads, but no prompt comes up to update or not.

My phone is relocked via fastboot oem lock
[HTC Amaze 4G] heyjoe66:
so you got fastboot working, or what?

if so, there was some method to flash that PH85IMG.zip manually

kind of 'fastboot oem rebootRUU' something like that
[HTC Amaze 4G] freddy009:
I just tried that, it brought me to an hboot screeen with a RUU highlighted option, no option to do anything with it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] heyjoe66:
it should been reboot you in to RUU flashing mode (black screen with some logo in the middle of it)

you didn't answered, your fastboot is working now, right?

so why don't you just flash a recovery? or you tried?
[HTC Amaze 4G] freddy009:
I ended up with this.

my fastboot is working, only because i have the wire contorted in this weird way
[HTC Amaze 4G] marleyfan61:
If fastboot is working then try downloading the toolkit and using it to flash recovery. First thing to do though is make sure that battery is charged up.
[HTC Amaze 4G] hasoon2000:
I was gonna recommend using my toolkit but he has a Mac. Mine is for Windows only.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrmako777:
yeah man, ill spare you the details, but i had a similar (although not as severe as yours) issue with my wifes kindle. turned out to be a dead battery that started the whole problem. i know your past the point, but make sure you get that battery charged all the way up. just because it boots into fastboot or whatever doesnt mean its got enough juice to get thru the process. as others have mentioned, let it charge and either try the sd card with the image file, or find someone with windows and run adb or hasoons toolkit. dont worry bro, either way, we'll get ya going again...;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] TramainM:
Dont u have to hold vol up once in hboot to prompt update????
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrmako777:
No, hboot should automatically scan and find the zip and prompt to update after it verifies the files
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrmako777:
Just thought about this...OP you do have the zip on the EXTERNAL sd right? I've never put it on the internal one to see if it would replicate your symptoms, so I'm curious
[HTC Amaze 4G] heyjoe66:
no, it doesn't even perform that scan, if you haven't external sd inserted.

why are you trying to flash it from cable instead of putting on to external sd?

where and how exactly did you get this P85IMG.ZIP?
[HTC Amaze 4G] smatthew45:
in order to flash a ruu, you need to make sure to relock your bootloader, that is done with the fastboot oem lock command...

then place the ruu on your external sdcard and make sure it's named PH85IMG.zip, it helps the phone recognize it if that's the only thing on the external sdcard as i've found...

then when all that is said and done, do a battery pull, hold volume down and the power button to enter hboot, and it should recognize the file and prompt for the update...

and i think you have to use whichever ruu is the same version as the one you're on now btw, also i'm on a mac too so lemme know if you need any help with the commands since its a little different than windows
[HTC Amaze 4G] freddy009:
No luck here guys, the recovery i installed doesnt boot up, and as someone pointed out, I am on a mac.

I keep getting this message "FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)"

when trying to flash stock wind RUU.

Also, is there any way to wipe all userdata from phone, I mean everything from the internal sd?

And also, I have the PH85IMG.zip on a microsd card that I insert.

Also, just a clarification, the file I download from here "http://www.filefactory.com/f/40bba0821a54f264/"

I change the extension of the file from exe to zip?

Edit:

Added screenshot. The gold bar on the left goes all the way up, then it just returns to hboot, no prompt.

Edit: Edit

I got it working, I have absolutely no idea how, but I did. Thank You everybody that posted, I truly appreciate it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] heyjoe66:
Are you saying or asking that you just renamed exe to zip?
[HTC Amaze 4G] daeboe:
You'll want to get that problem checked. If anything, someone may have tugged on the usb cable the wrong way and damaged the connection between the usb plug and the circuit board it's attached to. If I were you, I'd double check on that and possibly apply for warranty replacement before it comes back to bite you in the ass.

For example I am listening radio and screen timeout takes place, I am still getting sound but no meter what - screen is not coming back unless I press and hold power button and device restarts. I am running calkulin 1.1 rom.

I, too, would've said that this was a SOD problem, but, then you said this:

What happens if you play music using the standard Android music app and the screen times out while playing? Can you switch the screen on?

Suggestions:

On the current ROM, try a different kernel.

On the current ROM, if you install Jack Palevich's Android Terminal Emulator, you can "Take Wakelock" and then minimize the app to keep the tablet from going into suspend. Or, install one of the many apps from market designed to do the same thing.

On the custom GB ROMs, you can wake the device up by pressing the volume rocker after you enable Settings > VEGAn-TAB/CyanogenMod settings > Input > Volume rocker wake. Install a GB ROM.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
That's a very odd error. Uninstall, then reinstall the terminal emulator app and update to the latest version of the Superuser app.

It might be simpler to just install one of the wake lock holding apps from market, though.

[HTC Sensation] Ivanstein:
While I am not an electronics genius by any measure, I do have a rudimentary understanding of wavelengths and the effects of antenna length on reception. I can look up the formulas and figure out from the frequencies what the half wave length of the antenna needs to be. Its a long and arduous process but I can make it happen when needed.

So, I have been with out a case for a while, largely because I have moved to a place where T-mobile doesn't provide service and still charges me every month, and I see no need to buy one because I may jump ship when I am fed up enough to pay the ETF. The point is that the rubberized coating has worn down enough that its pretty easy to see the traces of the antennas on the back sides of the plastic portions of the case cover. From my rudimentary understanding of light wave physics, they are no where near ideal. As a matter of fact, I would almost say who ever was in charge of the pattern was actually trying to make them not work at all.

So, this makes me wonder if an old case could be procured and the rubber coating and old antenna printing taken off and some graphite paint used to print a fractal based pattern on the back. Fractal antennas are supposedly much more tolerant of different frequencies, and have about 20% more gain over their standard type counterparts. If a sufficiently small fractal pattern setncil were able to be produced, this wouldn't be that big of a deal. The paint would be allowed to dry and then a coating of black "plasti-dip" that you put on pliers handles could be applied to bring it back to near original look and feel, except both parts would be black instead of black and gray. (or red, blue, or i think yellow are available.)

So, are any of you electronics wizards with a specialty in antenna design, or maybe HAM operators that would know something? It seems the documentation on fractal antennas is pretty slim on google from what I can find. I also have a difficult time figuring out which antenna is hooked to which radio on the phone. Maybe this will spark some modifications which can cure the GPS lds (limp d*** syndrome), the wifi death grip that T-mobile has assured me doesn't exist and the problem with having full signal and absolutely no data, when my son's crappy flip phone can send pictures all day long.

Hello, answering your question, yes, it's safe to delete these files, and also, it's recommended to delete these files when you will perform a clean ROM installation, so don't worry when you restore your applications with titanium, automatically the files will restore in that folder, if not, just move the desired application to your SD and no problem
