I'm s-off and i'm trying to flash the odex stock rom in order to activate my phone but every time i try to flash i get stuck in a bootloop. I did the same wipe procedure with 3 different recoveries and i'm still getting stuck in bootloops. Any help?

What hboot are you on?
 
Actually, I though I read in the Sprintify thread that the stock ROM won't boot with the ENG hboot. Or maybe that was only after flashing the new radios.

Its still doing the same thing. I found a nandroid backup i did before i started flashing roms. I'm trying that now
EDIT: The restore wont even work. I'm screwed at this point

well... not sure what to tell you... make sure you are wiping correctly and if its still a no... run the ruu as richking34 had suggested

its a long and dreadfull process but in you case, i guess its necessary.. you will lose s-off, get locked, and lose root...

Interesting... in fact I once had to run RUU but it didn't seem to finish. Got me out of my non-boot, but I didn't lose s-off. Just had to reflash radios and everything... I think... it was a long time ago.

I know I didn't lose s-off though. I'd have remembered that terrifying process :(
 
I'll just find another way to activate because its not worth it now that I know the results of flashing the ruu. Thanks guys for helping though.

EDIT: I guess there is no other way. When I try to lock the bootloader in the command prompt by typing fastboot oem lock it says error command and it dosent lock. Can i skip to running the ruu?
