i just used the clockwork mod option - will try the tool, thanks!
[HTC Amaze 4G] eudemonics:
wait - so i shouldn't use the tool because of the charging problem?
[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
You can use it for now to flash a recovery to get your phone working, if thats the problem, just make sure to install a different recovery later when you get your phone working

I still have a feeling it may be the way ur flashing the kernel tho..? But u can clear that belief for me if u answer my question aa few posts back about if you are selecting fastboot from the menu befor u flash..?

what is the best recovery to use?
[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
as of right now, this one http://androtransfer.com/xboarder56/HTC%20Amaze%204g/Recoverys/5.8.0.9/ph85img.zip

place file on root of external sd card, boot into bootloader, it will ask if you want to update, select yes. it will do the rest

i wasn't choosing fastboot before but i have tried it since, and it is still freezing
[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
ok. use the link i provided in the last post to install touch recovery...

yes, i have HTC sync and the drivers from the HTC site installed, but the "android 1.0" driver i downloaded off a 3rd party site, so i am not 100% about it, but it was able to send a reboot command to my phone successfully. it is called "My HTC" with the following details:

[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
its weird cuz it looks like it keeps getting error, it errors when flashing the modules, but then it writes the boot image.

EDIT: i see why, its trying to push the modules with your phone on but it cant cuz the phones is off... try flashing with ekf instead of the toolkit.

Also, how long are you letting it sit on the write screen? bcuz after a fresh install it can take up to 10 mins to boot past that screen
[HTC Amaze 4G] eudemonics:
i waited for a little over 5 minutes - i've powered it on again and i'll try waiting past 10 minutes - after that i will try to flash the kernel using EKF - i pulled the kernel out of the custom ROM image i had, that should work, yes? if not i can use the faux kernel
[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
it should work, but just to be safe and to know for sure i would download a fresh copy of faux and flash that. that way its already packaged for ekf u dont have to take out the boot.img and move it you just have to extract the download and its already in ekf
[HTC Amaze 4G] eudemonics:

[HTC Amaze 4G] eudemonics:
lmfaoomg,

how are you flashing the kernel? do you have the HTC drivers installed on your computer?

if you are flashing the kernel for the first time, you might need to do it twice. if that doesn't work, try going into recovery, wiping data, clear cache and dalvik cache, etc. and install the ROM again. then install the kernel immediately after using Easy Kernel Flasher.

if it still doesn't work, try flashing back to the stock ROM and kernel.

please let me know if you find a solution, i'm stuck in the same boat as you are!

I Really want to get a new HTC phone so i could get rid of my blackberry. I used to have a touchpro 2 and loved it!

so ive been researching both the rezound and one X but i can't come to a conclusion of which one to get... just looking for some opinions.

Thanks
[HTC Rezound] knights665:
One x I have the rezound and I love it but it wont get sense 4 and the one x has better specs
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Are you in the US? If so, you're saddled to AT&T and we all know AT&T is a Rezounding failure. Verizon isn't picking up a "One" phone that we know of ... so unless Sense 4.0 is a deal breaker...Rezound all the way
[HTC Rezound] caveritt:
We already haz sense4 thanks to newts OnE XxX rom. Also, I am not ready to turn in my microSD card or removable battery. Rezound kicks butt and for on $49 everyone should get one or ten.:D
[HTC Rezound] NekciuQ:
Well i live in Canada and I should beable to buy the phone unlocked correct?
[HTC Rezound] Meticode:
It won't get Sense 4.0 officially, but developers are already working on Sense 4.0 with ICS 4.0.3 and it's a day or two from being released as a daily driver.

Even then the One X is a quad-core phone, there's no reason not to get it.

Although I don't like the white.
[HTC Rezound] nolimit78:
This is the reason the rezound wins. Even with a tegra 3 it doesn't sway me to get the one x (Also because they haven't announced a flavor for Verizon)
[HTC Rezound] NekciuQ:
Yea, having a none removable microsd card and battery is kind of a turn off + the beats earphones sound tempting hmm..

[HTC Rezound] NekciuQ:
But on the other hand... the one x is a faster phone.. hmm
[HTC Rezound] username235:
Honestly, do you really think you'll notice the difference between the S3 and S4 in daily use(if you're getting it American)? I'd rather have a 4.3 inch screen with 720p, than the gigantic 4.7, its nicer, and plus we have removable battery and sdcard space, a huge plus. The Rezound can run sense 4 perfectly fine, HTC just wants the one series to be their main money makers.

[HTC Rezound] knights665:
You might see a little difference in day to day use but the one x screen is LCD 2 so its better and I would rather have the bigger seen
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
That could be a problem. I don't think you'll have much luck using the rexound up there. Its not a global phone and even though it has GSM radios, people are having a hard time with data and SMS outside of Verizon. I'd get the one x.
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
I don't care what a new phone does if you can't take the battery out.

Those are two really good reasons that nobody wants a nexus.
[HTC Rezound] k8826324:
Performance wise, it won't be the deal breaker, since the dual core pretty much handles everything smoothly unless google optimize the next generation os with quad-core. Bigger engine doesn't always run faster and more efficient , especially in this high gas price age.
[HTC Rezound] Piaband:
The nexus has a removable battery.

I don't mind the whole not.having an sd card thing. I'll be honest, it didn't bother me one bit. It takes five minutes to copy all the files over to your computer, and with the WiFi file transfer apps, its even shorter.

I definitely wouldn't base my decision of which phone to buy on whether there is a removable ad card. Unless someone can explain some great features that I simply haven't found yet.

With that said, the rezound is an awesome phone while amazing hardware. I absolutely love it

If I were buying a new phone I'd probably buy a Lumia 900. But since there will probably never be a VZW version, I guess I'll stick with the Rezound!
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
Even if Google optimizes the OS for quad cores, it'll only help for the actual Android system itself, not any of the apps you use, half the apps in the Play Store only use 1 core anyway and won't probably ever change that since it's not needed. (Facebook for example, Pandora, etc)

The S4 is a beast processor, best available, Tegra 3 is good for pure power but probably nothing else, I'd hold off on it honestly if you're rocking anything in the past few months.

Now if the One S came to Verizon with a S4 in it, that'd be a better debate.

Until you realize the battery is not removable.

I can't even imagine owning a phone that powerful that I can't carry a spare battery for (I have three standard and three extended batteries with two external chargers for my Rezound) That one thing alone is a total non-starter for me.

Why do they always blow one thing, so you look at it and say "that would have been the perfect phone if only they didn't do xxxxxx"
[HTC Rezound] derek4484:
I would have to disagree with that statement about AT&T being a failure. I had AT&T for 3 years. Service was excellent. And their 3G data speeds blow away Verizon's 3G data speeds. I left AT&T and now am on verizon. So far its been a mixed bag, some good and some bad. I really like the rezound, but the One X is a better phone. AT&T now has 4G LTE, that's the only reason why I left them and came to Verizon. AT&T's 4G LTE speeds are insanely fast, up to 65Mbps in some cities while Verizon's has constantly been decreasing, I now barely get 5Mbps on my Rezound. I got faster than that on AT&T's HSPA+ with my Galaxy S. And dont forget, about every 2-3 weeks verizon has a nationwide 4G network outage. I never suffered one single outage on AT&T. Soon as my 2 year contract is up, I'm bailing on Verizon.

[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
I have been with ATT about 5 years and Verizon about 3 years. In my area I don't have LTE from Verizon but I do have 4G from ATT, but its not LTE.

Both companies have been pretty good to deal with. Both have great coverage in my area although ATT has better speeds when comparing 3G against 3G.

If you are in an area where a GSM phone will work good and be easy to fool with I would go one x. I love my rezound and I like Verizon but in my area, the people in the corporate stores are very ignorant and ATT tends to have a more knowledgeable staff.

I think either device will he very nice, the rezound has some really good developers working on it. I don't know much about the one x community yet but I'm about to learn, as my girlfriend wants to start theming sense and is in a contract at ATT so I think I'm going to burn one of my upgrades for her. And I won't mind having a one x to play with.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
Verizon has had 2 nationwide data outages and some regional ones in the last few months. I would guess at&t will have the same growing pains going forward. Of course their 4g is faster, there

are a lot less phones using it.

Sounds like buyers remorse.

Why? Because you say so? I like the look and so do a lot of other people. It also has a bigger battery than either the one X or s, kind of important when it's non removable. And I'm sure a lot of people miss their kickstand, I know I bought my case because it had one built in.
[HTC Rezound] IniquitiousSoul:
Love My Rezound

I have had a TOTALLY different experience. I used to own the Droid 1 (OG), from moto, and then, sadly, I went to the Droid 2 Global also from moto and the battery life on both was HORRIBLE, ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE.

Then I switched to the Rezound and on the stock ROM (gingerbread) my battery life was so-so. Then I installed the ICS RUU (along with JoelZ's IBS 2.1) and I can't believe how long my battery life is!!

I love my Rezound, and the camera is fantastic, it is speedy fast, the display is gorgeous, Beats are nice, too...it has TONS of space and I also get amazing battery life. I can't imagine a better phone. I love it!
[HTC Rezound] surfer2.3:
This is strictly a question of what provider to go with. That is the most important decision point. Obviously if you go with ATT you go with the ONE. If Verizon is the required provider then, IMO, the Rezound is the best phone.

IMO, it's not about hardware. It's all about the network.

The non removable battery isn't a deal breaker for me, as long as there's a way to cold reboot your phone like a battery pull.
[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
that's not the point, the point is the battery is not big enough, you would have to be close to a charger all the time, especially while on 4g. what they "should" of done was give it a huge slimline battery like the razr maxx has.
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
The phone will get by just fine.

Plenty of people never use an extended battery with their phone with even smaller batteries and they function just fine.

With Sense 4 and a real efficient processor, this phone will probably just still be on the higher end of battery life compared to other stock batteries.

It'll wipe our Rezound stock batteries I'm sure of, and I know a lot of us don't use extended batteries, I'm one of those.

The way I use my phone, there is no chance I will ever buy a phone I can't replace the battery in. Heck, even the maxx has to go dead sooner or later and even with something like that I still want to be able to throw a second battery in it.

I have had at least one extra battery for every smart phone I have ever owned.

I like to listen to streaming audio at work (either iheart radio or Sirius online) and I can kill even the extended life 2750 battery before I get done with a long work day.

You guys are all forgetting how big of an abomination the Tegra 2 was. This is why Verizon wont pic up another Tegra based device until they are proven. The Xoom and X2 both had them. The delay with the Bionic was the Tegra 2 and they swapped it for another chip. Tegra 3 is having the same/similar issues with 4G LTE. I would not expect NVIDIA to be a quad core hit. Qualcomm, Samsung, and TI are going to continue to prevail once their chips hit devices.

I'm assuming it'll be somewhat like my transformer, which if you hold down the power button, it reboots no matter what.
[HTC Rezound] hceuterpe:
At least Verizon has 4G in enough places to actually notice a 4G outage! It was so painful to watch my 3G Verizon BB and my Sprint TP2. On my TP2, there'd be huge stretches of I-80 west of the Missouri River and all I got was 2G roaming. With Verizon, I don't think it ever dropped below 3G on their network. That's the major suck right there.:rolleyes:

As for the One X vs the One S (can't remember which one is the S4). But it seems like the S4 would be a huge advantage because the Tegra 3 seems like it's going to be a huge battery hog. If I understand it, integrated radios, especially LTE here makes a huge difference for battery life? I thought that's why all the current LTE phones have such terrible battery life, and perhaps why iPhone 4S didn't come with LTE?
