Since having S-off I went to install another rom and could not get my phone to boot up. After finally using adb to wipe device and all partition I had to also use adb to re-install recovery. I have tried to flash every rom on here without success using cwm and ext 4 recovery. I'm not a noob and am very experienced in adb and can not get my phone past the HTC screen nomatter what I do. Anyone else in the same boat.
Incorrect. The first prerequisite on the instructions says "Be unlocked using the HTCdev bootloader unlock"
Who needs sleep when we have s-off, right? I went ahead and did it anyway, success after about 5 tries. Thanks again for sending the file. Anyone else accidentally slip and trigger the flash? Lol, I thought maybe I had a stroke at that point
everything seems to be working still, although I get slow startup with sense now...?
try this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1612451 instead of adb worked for me after i got s-off and couldnt boot or flash the kernal as hassoon said
Once you have s-off, you DO NOT need an unlocked bootloader. Maybe I misunderstood the way he presented the question...or maybe you did. Either way, you don't need an unlocked bootloader if you have s-off
I have tried all of the above....even before I posted. Somethings not right. Never had problems like this. I have flashed the hell out of over twenty phones hundred of times. Can't get it to boot. Should have left it alone S-on was actually not that big a deal it worked then.
Well obviously you don't need to unlock the bootloader again once you have S-Off, but it must be done first in order to use Control Bear. The way I read it was that instead of unlocking the bootloader through HTCDev, could he just bypass that and go straight to S-Off. And my reply was that no, you need to unlock the bootloader first in order to S-Off the device.
Anyway, I don't really care, was just trying to correct any misunderstanding.
Read my previous Post here.. Happened exactly the same, just try to flash other roms and recovery combination.. for mine what i did is using Mike's ROM version 1.1.0 and the official Clockwork by Kush.. recover my phone for not booting... just make sure have a plenty of charge since Kush's recovery have a broken charging while off..
What version of 4EXT have you used to try this? You tried what hasoon suggested (rebooting to bootloader after flashing rom and using the kernel flasher from PC)? What kind of "wire" did you use when getting S-OFF?
so is it just me, or is the wire trick a pain in the neck to pull off? i got a nice short piece of solid core insulated wire and still cant get it right...
on top of that my phone refuses to boot now, just goes right to the download sign, hboot still works so i guess i can always re RUU it worst case
any tips?
E: of course the moment I complain is the moment it finally works, awesome!

I have tried every recovery every rom from here and x's site with no luck. I did install the modified hboot during s-off don't know if that related to those having problems and those not.
what kind of wire did you use? if it was un-insulated you could have shorted the phone...
also, didnt you say you formatted the partitions? could you have scrambled the partiton tables?
Insulated wire. The phone booted up fine after the process. Used it for an hour or so. After that went to instal another rom and now nothing will work. I appreciate the feedback, but I have tried everything that has been mentioned before I started posting. Tried every recovery, every rom, tried flashing from adb, flashing from amaze tool with different recoverys and different kernels, wiping and rebooting between each. Going to bed now. I think my amaze days are over been nothing but a hassle. On the bright side my phone is S-OFF....lmfao
I made a little video for people who wanted something to see first, before they try it.

Where are you guys getting the wire to do this from? Just a normal speaker wire or another place?
20 awg solid core wire you can get from home depot ( doorbell wire) . cut a long piece so you have about 6 inches and you can do it easy.
Yeah I just used some wire cutters and clipped a few inches off the end of a speaker wire.
Myself and quite a few people used a small coated paperclip with the ends stripped clean. Worked like a charm.

on the main page of your site... Simple[/QUOTE][/QUOTE]
Stop your *****in... Its your fault you didn't take precaution and read the instructions. Stop blaming this on the people that put there hard work into giving you s off just because you ****ed up5I think having the proper "tools" makes this really simple... also the timing... so here let me try and help those who are having some issues...
1. there are normally two sizes of paper clip, large and small, if you can find a small paper clip with plastic coating this is ideal... keeping the paper clip "flat" just kind of "unroll" it open, then just strip 1/4" off each end, now bend the shortest end 90 degrees down, then bend the paper clip to be "open" from the 90 degree tip, to the other end to be wide enough that you can stick the bent part into the hole, and then just by "rocking" the paper clip a little you can touch the other end to the ground point... now you are ready
2. if you're really worried about the plastic not being enough insulation then use something like electrical tape where you will grip the paper clip, or use a small potato chip bag clip to hold the paper clip with
3. start the program
4. go ahead and stick the bent end of the paper clip in the hole, but DON'T TOUCH THE GROUND yet...
5. wait for the prompt to do the wire trick
6. touch and swipe the end of the paper clip across the ground, if you don't hear the sound from USB connect/disconnect then you haven't gotten the first touch to "connect" keep trying until you hear this sound
7. AFTER hearing this sound wait the 1.5-1.75 secs, and touch/swipe the paper clip again... you should be good to go now...
I just found the wire I was using at first just not stiff enough to make a good connection... this worked on the first try for me!4I made a little video for people who wanted something to see first, before they try it.
