Backstory: I tried flashing android revolution for the amaze once, and it didn't work (error 1) left it alone for a bit after recovering it, went back to bulletproof and flashed faux .009 kernel, then decided to try again...
Well I'll try to make this brief, sorry if I'm posting in the wrong subforum but here goes, I tried going from bulletproof 2.5.0 to Android Revolution HD and didn't flash the superwipe .zip (lazy me). The install failed with the same error 1, only this time I can't boot back into recovery. Booting to bootloader works but when I tried going into recovery I see it pop up for maybe a fraction of a second before the phone reboots.
I've tried reflashing clockwork mod but no dice
any sort of tips you folks can give me to steer me in the right direction?

Not sure about the Amaze tbh, but if I had a failed flash on either of my HTC phones, I just re RUU'd.
D'oh! I forgot about that! Had to do that for my buddy's thunderbolt a few times. Lemme give that a shot and I'll report back
Edit: Worked

im also having this problem, my phone keeps freezing at the startup screen when the htc logo pops up. i dont know much about this kind of stuff so i would really appreciated if anyone could guide me to what to do
the way that my phone froze like that was that i tried to flash a kernel for the Energy rom, i did installed the rom itself
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362759 this is the rom that i wanted to use
and i flashed the kernel that was provided in the 4th post, i downloaded that file, extracted and ran the .bat file and thats how it happened
i would appreciate if anyone could help me with this
Bricked Htc Amaze 4g
I have a bricked HTC Amaze 4g. I had beastmod v2.20 on when i decided i wanted quick sense. After i finished it just froze on the htc startup logo. I played with it and got it into a bootloop.

You need to superwipe the phone and flash the ROM. After the ROM flashes, you have to flash the kernel twice.

Same with you. You need to superwipe the phone and flash the ROM. After the ROM flashes, you have to flash the kernel twice.
Superwiping the phone removes all the data from the old ROM so you can install a fresh clean ROM.
If you want to install the RUU, you have to relock the bootloader first and then you can reflash the original RUU

To flash an official RUU, you must relock it. I've done so plenty of times lol

If the phone wont go into recovery, you have to use ADB and wipe the cache partition for it to go into recovery again. This is apparently a bug with some of recoveries posted by other devs in the development forum. You need to use fastboot.exe to wipe the cache via adb
And if... If the superwipe doesn't work due to recovery version you have try to boot in to your Bootloader run one of hasoon's tool and choose different recovery.. it did happen to me the bootloop before due to the fact the old roms like mike's rom. he doesn't update his script to support the newer recoveries and it doesn't support X's recovery, it will give you an error installation.. just try different recoveries and for sure your problem will be solved..
just make sure boot in your bootloader/H-boot then run hasoon's tool and have enough battery just to make sure...

Thanks for the good info Sir but i my HTC Amaze is bootloader locked and S-ON but i cannot find a RUU for T-mobile to unbrick it. Will a Ruu such as this one work?
RUU_Ruby_Videotron_CA_1.46.1530.1_R2_Radio_1.09.550L.17DC_30.68.550L.09_release_227343_signed.exe
My HTC Amaze scans all the versions of the PH85IMG i place on the sd card but goes back to the menu when its down
any advice that could help i will appreciate!
There's a thread in the dev section that has about a dozen RUUs. I don't see how one can miss it.
Thanks for your reply but i was a little unsure and did not want to make my phone any worst than it already is.
Can you explain 1 thing thing for me please - RUU always you to flash the phone via the computer? where as PH85img.zip allows you to flash the phone via sdcard? I hope i am correct here.
but i want to know how can i flash the phone when its connected via HBoot usb cause my pc recognizes it as "Android Composite ADB Interface"
Currently this is what is on my lcd
LOCKED
RUBY PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.93.0002
EMMC BOOT
MAR 15 2012
i have tried several PH85img.zip files but the phone just scans them and goes back to the menu.
Some help will be appreciated extremely.

I forgot to mention it connects to the pc but when i run command adb devices this is what i get
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

The latest ruu would be your best option, do not put the .zip part of the name since its already there, also a ruu may be an exe or zip file, since it is a complete stock file to restore the device, what would your carrier be to be exact? Just not up to reading through everything in this thread to see if you mentioned that piece of info, if its tmobile then the very first file in the stock ruu/ota thread would be the file you need.

Why are you using recovery exactly?
RUU's are to be flash via hboot, which is the very first screen you see when you go into the device's bootloader, in the case of exe files, you'll need to flash it via fastboot mode, which happens to be, correct me if I'm wrong, the very first or second option on the hboot menu.
yes you are correct cause i just tried it with an RUU from another carrier. i found out that the phone had 2.14.531 software installed. but the RUU i was using was 1.46 and so i got a signature error 132. now i need to find a way to remove the 2.14.531 software and replace it with a lower version. can you help me here

hi all,
i knw this is weired , but i have htc evo 3d gsm phone,
system notification came to update to 4.0 android,
i downloaded and when tried to install, it gave some sort of error in 4ext recovery ,
and i accidently formated all my partitions , option present in 4ext.
now when i start my phone, white screen with htc written came and no os is on my device...
i need help to get back my stock rom, dont need data, just want to make my phone working again
You can't take an ota when you're unlocked. You need to lock your bootloader and then run the ruu.exe to get back to stock.

Okay, here's the problem.
I have an EVO 3D
Hboot 1.50 S-On
HTC Dev method unlocked,
TWRP Recovery.
I'm currently runing a GB Rom, Warm Two Point Three, Its awesome, the best GB rom for me.
But its time to move on to ICS, the fact is that every time i try to flash an ICS Rom, I get in a Bootloop. It shows the boot animation, and it starts for like 4 seconds it shows the wallpaper and the notification bar, and it f*cking boots again and again.
I tried basic wipes, superwipes, modifiedsuperwipes.
I also tried to go back to stock 2.17 Rom, and walk it all along rooting and trying to flash an ICS Rom, but the RUU 2.17 failed every time, and it doesnt give a damn reason.
I even tried to update to Hboot 1.58, but didnt worked, in the bootloader, it detects the .zip file, and analize it, but it doesnt prompt for instalation, it just skip it and go to the normal bootloader screen.
I think its a problem just with this Evo, I flashed the ICSMeanROM to 3 Evos 3D, my wife, my brother, and a friend, and everyone worked very well.
So, im just able to flash my GB Warm two point three rom, and thats the only one that works i think.
Im not a total noob, i just have been a few moths out of the 3VO field.
Any ideas?
Thank you guys
ICS tends to bootloop for people who are s-on. Get s-off using the wire trick, flash an ICS custom ROM and your all set.

Okay, I think I dont have anywere else to run, I'm going to prepare my stuff.
Thank you dude
Just go to 100% stock, take the OTA and unlock it again.
When I chose to do S-off, it was the best thing to do. If you need any help let me know im sure i can find the links again for it

Try the following steps,
1. go to recovery > wipe & factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, go to mounts and storage, wipe system, data, cache, sd card... everything u can find there... wipe all..
2. in recovery DO NOT REBOOT, turn off phone
3. go to android development of evo 3d gsm, find a rom, for example mikrunny 1.06, open the archive extract the boot.img from the kernel folder.
4. assuming u have android sdk installed on ur computer, make a new folder and from the android sdk tools copy adb.exe, fastboot.exe, adbwinapi.dll (exact same files u used to unlock bootloader). also in this folder put that boot.img you extracted from the rom
5. put that folder in C:\
6. get back to phone , still DO NOT BOOT UP YET, and power up phone in bootloader mode (vol down & power) and go to fastboot
7. connect phone to pc in fastboot usb mode
8. open command prompt, type cd c:\"folder" ("folder" = folder u created with the sdk tools)
9. type in cmd: fastboot flash boot boot.img
10. after it's completed, go to recovery, still do not boot up phone
11. in recovery go to mounts and storage, usb storage and now copy the whole rom and nothing but the rom on the sd card
12. install zip from sdcard, select rom and let it install, it should boot up automatically
steps were given by SeptimiuB, I am just replying to your query because I've gone through the same mess and recovered as well.
Just be sure to unlock your bootloader and install a recovery before trying the above steps.
Cheers.
Ok I am back on XDA and am not going to spam anymore. I need help with something. I am looking for a AOSP Rom in otherwords I want it to be pure android without htc sense. I have the HTC Evo 3D rooted with hboot 1.57.00000000 s-on (cant figureout the wiretrick).
Does anyone know of a AOSP or AOSP Rom based on latest version of ics or jb with all features working?
You can have almost everything working... 3d cam isnt working on anything that I know of outside of sense.

2 queastions does this mean i can still take 2d photos? and do you have a link to a pure ics or jb rom agian please note i have hboot1.57.00000 unlocked with htcdev and s-on?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1507616
Works on s-on...3d and everything working...just that it is 4.0.3
Thanks I am going to try this later today I wish this ROM was based on of Jelly Bean but I don't mind ICS.

FYI if you want to run pure aosp ROMs you will need to downgrade your hboot in order to run them. In order to downgrade hboot, getting s-off is required. Follow this guide that was put together by ramjet. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889438
You will need to be on stock ROM
Bootloader unlocked
Root
Insulated wire(a speaker wire or paper clip with electrical tape will be just fine)
USB debugging enabled
PC windows 7 or Linux
If you have your stock ROM backed up, great! That will save you the trouble of getting the appropriate ruu. If not, you will have to go get it.
Here are the steps to get back on stock if you don't have it.
Download appropriate ruu
Hook your phone up to your computer in fast boot( make sure USB debugging is enabled)
Run cmd and get to your fast boot directory
Type fastboot oem lock
If ruu is an exe file run the ruu from your computer
If not Rename ruu to PG86IMG in all caps.
Place on root of sdcard.
Power down phone into bootloader mode.
Let phone take update
After update unlock bootloader
Flash 4ext recovery
Flash superuser
In the guide it will tell you to do the wire trick. Make sure you study the picture and learn where to place the ends of the wire. Both ends must touch the contacts at the same time. Download appropriate control bear based on os, network(CDMA) and computer.
Edit: I must apologize I didnt realize you already attempted the wire trick. However there's no way around it unless you want to perform unknown forces downgrade method which requires you to brick your phone twice. Remember if you do do the wire trick you have to place both ends of yhw wire. On the contacts at the same time.
I've been out of the loop with this phone for so long that I think I need a refresher on how to return this to stock. I am getting a replacement phone sent from Virgin Mobile as mine is having issues with the charging port and battery contacts making things crazy like the screen comes on randomly all the time and the headphone jack stops working. Should be easy as I am still on Jellybean, rooted, and I have Philz touch. Only thing I'm concerned about really is the HTC screen says "tampered" I've actually sent phones back to Virgin Mobile before though with custom roms on them without trouble but I don't know if they've gotten more strict.

Just run the RUU from the link above. You should be perfectly fine unless you tried to update to kitkat and failed in that case, flash the stock jellybean hboot from the same link. RUU is self explanatory.
I see the RUU is an exe file. Does that mean it needs to be run on the PC with my phone connected or on my phone?
Also to get rid of Philz touch and get stock recovery back I flash the stock recovery from that list?
HTC Desire 601 (Zara_CL)
Yes connect your phone to your pc and start the RUU. It will restore stock recovery for you. You'll need to be in boot loader when you start the RUU with administrative rights.

U dont need to boot into bootloader. Just boot into android and run the ruu as administrator. If ur anti-virus detects it as a virus, disable it. Make sure u disable stand-by mode and close all runnin apps on ur pc
Okay sounds simple enough. Do I need adb drivers for the ruu.exe to communicate with my phone?
HTC Desire 601 (Zara_CL)
Yes. Go to htc.com and download htc sync manager. It comes with the driver for ur phone
I keep getting an error 155 when trying to do this? What am I doing wrong? thanks.
U need to relock ur bootloader. Get into fastboot and type fastboot oem lock
Thanks I finally found it out and it worked like a charm
