[Q] rooting the amaze - HTC Amaze 4G

So far I have tried every method iI can thank of rooting this phone and noe seem to work. I have done, SuperOneClick, revolutionary, unrevoke, rageagainstthemachine, gingerbreak z4root fr3vo and nothing has worked. Anyone know of any other programs to try get root

None of those that you mentioned work's with 2.3.4 Sense 3.0 , we're going to see if the bootloader's unlocked / locked first & i think it's locked it's not even letting me get into recovery mode it just show's a picture .

It is locked but you can unlock it using htcdev site

Give me a link to unlock my bootloader & i would be glad to create / help with root & check this out while your doing that .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1289119

create a account and just follow the instructions
http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/
It does not show that it is supported but it worked on my device
This will allow you to flash a custom recover (which we do not have yet) I beleive it does ot give true s-off (flasing radios and what not)

What do you mean ? I just want to unlock it , that way once we get root & recovery or once my bootloader's unlocked i could work on root & a ROM

after it is unlocked it Factory Data Resets the device. In other words just like you pulled it out of the box

When they track phone's they track the MIUI , they don't track the phone , only the MIUI which is on the phone .

Just wait. Revolutionary will unlock the bootloader as soon as phone is out. No point officially voiding the warranty when there will be an unofficial way.

Gold Card?
I don't have this device I was just bored and browsing around, but I'm hearing something about a gold card method?? Not sure if this is any good for you guys but maybe look in to it and it can be used and or modded to work for you guys....

That one was for the GoldCard, there is some instructions around for a ton of HTC devices, some real old and some pretty new. You guys should look in to it and maybe try to work something out!

I doubt that unlocking will void the warranty. The HTC warranty on the MyTouch 4G only covers physical problems, which are still covered no matter what ROM is installed. I suspect HTC has a pretty similar warranty on all their phones.

[Q] 2 Quick Questions: New Unlock Token and Global SIM?

So I bought a used Rezzy and it was shipped to me with the custom ROM on it. I want to relock and run the global RUU. I have the unlock token from my original phone but not one for this "new" phone. Do I have to be relocked to get one or can I get a token while the phone is unlocked? If I need to be relocked, can I run it before running the RUU?
I just don't want to get stuck on the RUU unable to get the unlock token as I've read several posts where the site was down when people wanted a token.
Global question: Once we have the global option on the phone, do we need to purchase a SIM at the location we travel to to use it? Not sure exactly how this global thing works.
TIA
I see no problem at least attempting to get the unlocktoken with an unlocked boot loader, it just searches for the lines of text, nothings being flashed or anything like that.. if it doesn't work you'll have to lock your bootloader and ten try again.. I personally havent had anybody ever have a problem getting it.. as for the ruu you need to be relocked to run it if your still s-on..

And for the global capabilities you'll need a Rom that's global capable and a sim from whatever network your trying to gain acces with , someone correct me if I'm wrong. But I believe the Verizon sim only operatesin CDMA..

Yeah, I didn't want to just try it without knowing just in case. Perhaps I will, or I'll just back everything up and run the damn RUU and get it over with! Yeah, I've been through all the unlocking, relocking, RUUing etc. in the past. That's why I was asking about the unlock token.
So, I buy a SIM when I get to another country so I can use a carrier there? Where do the minutes and data come from? Do you buy a prepaid thing for that country? I don't have any immediate plans to travel but I did have a dream that I was in France last night so....

Nice work bro.
Excellent tutorial! Thank you for making the videos
So after watching these videos I have a question. The bootloader is unlocked but it still is s-on... Is it even necessary to get s-off?
Sent from my DROID DNA
---------- Post added at 01:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:56 AM ----------
I think I answered my own question reading around a bit but correct me if I'm wrong.. Not having s-off just limits us from accessing the system partition from within the phone, correct? We still have full access from recovery.. Is that correct?
Sent from my DROID DNA
You can access the system partition, you just can't write to it.

Yes, s-off is achievable after root, unfortunately, there is no s-off exploit for the DNA yet. So no.
Awesome videos man! It really helps to see someone do it rather than just following a tutorial.
Also want to say jcase is an awesome guy! I ran into some trouble with the exploit but jcase jumped on team viewer and got me all straightened out.
We should all remember show the dev's the respect and appreciation they deserve.

So....I have seen an unsecured kernel that in several forums originally posted by dsb.
I did not see "flashing the unsecured kernel" in any of your videos however in those kernel posts it (kernel) has been flashed in order access recovery and root.
Am I missing something?

Will flashing a different recovery risk bricking the phone if an OTA comes out? Or does doing this disable OTAs?

Relock the Bootloader

Hey guys,
do you know whether it is possible to "relock" the bootloader on the Desire X. I recently got my phone and want to flash a custom Rom but it would be awesome to know I'm not loosing my warranty whith unlocking the bootloader on HTCdev.
thank you in advice
You will lose your warranty. You can only change back the status to "Relocked", so far there's no way to return it to "Locked".
thank you for your fast answer. There is no way to install a custom rom with a locked bootloader, isn't it?

Read the following before you proceed.

Your phone will only have limited warranty once you unlock bootloader.

Thank you for your help. I'm pretty shure I will unlock my device but not yet..
Do you know how to temp root the Desire X running Android 4.0.4 for uninstalling some annoying stock apps? Some time ago I used an app called "Visionary+" but i don't think this will work anymore..

Don't know about temp root, but you can always disable most of the system bloatwares.
Navigate to Settings > Apps > All
Choose the app you want to disable
You will find an option to disable it.
Disabling some system apps might lead to boot loops..

Thank you once again. I didn't mention you can disable stock apps^^

It would be great if folks could also add:
1) Did they do the OTA update prior to unlock?
2) Did they figure out a way to keep the apps that disappear after unlock?

It's a bootloader unlock, so you can root, and eventually put custom Roms on there.

An RUU is a rom update utility. It puts everything back to stock. I haven't found one for tmobile yet though. I rooted and unlocked the bootloader and decided even then that I didn't like it. As for s-off that's a beast I won't even touch. I don't know much about it to give you a straight answer, sorry!

I have to send my phone in to T-Mobile because the mic is cutting out sometimes when the screen turns off (proximity sensor turns it off and then sometimes the other person can't hear me at all until I pull the phone away from my face and the screen comes back on). I just got the phone and it was doing that from the get go but I assumed it was network or sim card related. It's not either and I've since rooted the phone.
T-Mobile wants me to send it back to them, but I can't get the RUU yet so what would you do? what is the best way to send it back to t-mobile without the RUU?
Thanks in advance.
