Future of this rom and me - https://plus.google.com/u/0/100983447046094793882/posts/7YtTFWWgT1C
Hope this helps people others comming sooon i have slow internet
Let's hope that nobody will be needing these with the exception of obtaining S-OFF and ROM production.
I added some tags for you too.
All ruus released enjoy
md5's for the ruu's added so enjoy but remeber you need to htc relock your boot loader before you can restore
Have you are anyone tested the relock? Frrom what I remember on previous ones I thought you could not relock like the nexus one.
But basically relock then flash these thru bootloader and you are back to the way has came out the box?

I tested that script on an unbiased Windows 7 machine.
Unbiased means that it had nothing but the drivers installed. No adb or fastboot files.
I wanted to clean it up and make it look better but x was in a hurry to release it for whatever reason.
Well clean up and I will reupdate it

Sorry for sounding like a n00b and redundancy but just wanted to make sure I understand this right before I make any changes on device.
The relocker posted by xboarder and binary, does that completely reverse the HTC bootloader unlock done the HTC dev site?
Assuming it does, that does mean we can get the regular updates to device again?
Sorry again if is redundant but just want to make sure there is a 100% way of returning to stock software very much like my vibrant / g2 / hd2

I've tried installing this via hboot both unlocked and relocked and it doesn't actually do anything. it checks the image then just goes back to hboot. Any Idea what I'm doing wrong?
I am trying to get my Telus Amaze back to stock. I have re locked the phone it says so in the hboot menu. I have downloaded the RRU for Telus and it is on the root of my SD card. When I boot into hboot I see the progress bar in blue on the right hand side, then it goes into yellow verifiying, then it just stops no option to install the update.... It just isn't working.. any thoughts?

the problem is that after i relock my phone & put the RUU file in the root folder ( with root explorer), i turn of, got in to the bootloder and nothing happened.
what do i need to do from here?

So, if I were to flash the 1.26 or 1.35, I wonder if I'd get working WiFi calling? Anyone that is still on 1.36.531.4, does your WiFi calling still work?

Hey everyone, I am unable to unlock my bootloader after accepting this OTA. I just got an EVO 3D yesterday and I updated it as soon as I got it. I first checked to see if it was an HBOOT below 1.5, it wasn't so I went ahead and updated. However when i get to step 12 i believe on the htc dev site, I flash the unlock_code.bin and nothing happens just sits there. I read around and found people saying you need to take the 2.08 RUU, I tried that and when it gets to the black HTC screen I get an error 140. I was so excited to get this phone and already downloaded the rom i wanted before owning it. If someone can please help me out I would appreciate it. Thanks

Same here.
The same RUU I used to revert to the .2sw update to unlock two other evo3d's with hboot 1.5, will not work. Im unbelievably frustrated right now as Ive been sitting at this computer for over three hours. Please, if you find a way to downgrade your software, please let me know. thanks
not sure why you wanted to be on hboot 1.50. but shouldnt be a problem to unlock the bootloader, since it was just minor updates and still on hboot 1.50. id just try doing the process again.
i unlocked mine with unlock_code.bin that i used when i rooted my evo 3d for 1st time.....it worked fine.
Tried 5 times and failed..

I didn't want to be on hboot 1.5, I wanted to be below it. But when I first got my phone I checked the bootloader and was already at 1.5. If it was below that I would've been rooted right now...
to be a bit more clear it was hboot 1.5 with an OTA 2.08 when I first received the phone.

1st Check you bootloader .What it says at the top .(locked/unlocked/relocked) if it says unlocked you do not need unlock_code.bin.
Try these from step 13:

That's the guide I used to HTC Unlock. Video helped. There is a post somewhere about needing to Re-flash the stock RUU.exe or Ruu.zip (renamed to PG86IMG.zip) to get the phone past the "nothing happens" step where you're supposed to get the "unlock" option screen on the phone. I haven't seen the 651.5 released as a complete RUU, but you could probably flash the 651.3 RUU, finish the HTC unlock and then run the 651.5 update. Heck, the unlock would probably work after the update, idk for sure.
I have some links and my issue with this below.

I have some tools and files for you to use that will give you temp root and allow a downgrade to 2.08.651.2 rom, hboot will still be 1.50 though. However from there you should be able to unlock via HTCdev method. I gotta upload the files and write the code which I will post up here in a second. I hope you are ok with using adb and fastboot.

You need S-OFF to flash this. This zip is flashed through HBOOT. Do not flash it in recovery. I assume no responsibility for any damage done by using this file.
It will work for any HTC Amaze on any carrier as long as you have S-OFF and SuperCID (check the stickies for instructions on how to get these things). I have removed the HBOOT and Recovery from the leaked ICS Rom football posted. That is the only modification to this rom, otherwise it is completely stock and contains all other parts of the update. I think it is a better alternative for anyone with S-OFF because they don't have to reflash recovery and HBOOT after flashing.

You have to register for this but it's super quick and easy. It's the best site I know of. If you know of a better place to upload I'll upload it there, I can upload this file in about 3 minutes on my connection. I will not use Filefactory or Dropbox.

Ok I see what you're saying.
I THINK you do need S-OFF since HBOOT & Recovery have been removed, but I may be wrong about that....
S-OFF is fairly painless, it's all about timing.

S-OFF/SuperCID/ENGHBOOT on a Wind Amaze here, get a Fail-PU (106) on the NFC file mentioned also, just FYI
*See Below*
Forgot to mention that the new HBOOT is necessary to flash the nfc update, as far as I can tell the juopunutbear HBOOT and the ENG HBOOT do not understand it, which is why it reboots after installing the new bootloader and before flashing nfc. nfc seems to work fine without it. Will add to original post. Also gonna repost with it ripped out as well so it doesn't throw an error, even though it doesn't matter.

Champion mate, thankyou
Can't confirm NFC as yet, but even with a 'partition error' after flashing on the ENG HBOOT, the ROM functions perfectly. You can root just by flashing the usual SU.zip.
Thanks for the good work!
Isnt SuperSID just for if you are on another carrier? IE: If I have a T-Mobile Amaze all I need is S-Off?
Since this is basically a stock ROM, I assume that everything works fine with it?
EDIT: I always get confused too; hboot is the same thing as the stock bootloader right? Hold power + volume down?

You shouldn't need SuperCID on the T-Mobile one really, but if you run into issues it doesn't hurt to have it on there. Plus if Wind get 4.0.4 with Sense 4.0, you won't have to be jelly
HBOOT is the white screen, so yeah the stock bootloader. An ENG (Engineering) one unlocks more and allows you to send a wider variety of commands

Even though its not needed to do this, just to satisfy my own personal sense of curiosity, how do you get to an ENG boot screen?

You don't need SuperCID if your on T-Mobile
You don't need S-OFF to flash this
You could flash this on S-ON.
Thanks worked for me, Still have the old HBOOT and CW Recovery and ICS!

I'm not 100% but since I have modified the file (presumably breaking it's signature) I do not believe it will flash with S-ON. None of the files inside are modified, some are just removed, but the file itself is modified by those removals. As far as I know if even one byte of this file is changed it will not flash with S-ON. If someone would be willing to test with S-ON then I will update my post if necessary, I have no way to test personally. I do not expect it to work but it is definitely a possibility. If it does work, it will only work a T-Mobile Amaze. If it will not work, it will not damage your phone. It will fail a signature check before it installs anything. If it does not fail that signature check then the entire thing will flash as it is verified in it's entirety at the beginning of the process.

The reason that it says partition error is because nfc flashes to a partition and it fails. This is why it still works fine even with such a seemingly menacing error. I have ripped it out until I can figure out what I talk about in my first post. No one should receive any error now.
All right guys, I have s-on with unlocked bootloader, on tmobile, would like to test but I don't wanna risk my phone

hey,
I bought HTC amaze 4g in Lahore, Pakistan. When I bought it, it was locked with S-ON and gingerbread v2.3.4 running on it. I waited for few days so i can get an ICS update through OTA but it never happened and there were slim chances that it would happen. Since i bought it here in Pakistan so there was no carrier attached to my phone so my stock ROM is not made for any specific carrier.
Now i have unlocked the phone (HTC BOOTLOADER METHOD) and then rooted my phone as well. So far its working fine with the stock ROM and everything. Now i want to update my amaze to ICS. i have read so much and tried to find some suitable way to achieve this but failed.
Can anyone guide me through this whole procedure with same case scenario as mine?? I have been sitting infront of the laptop for like 2 consecutive days and i have almost lost all hope to see my amaze running ICS ... so if anyone can help me out with this regard i would be very thankful ...

There's no unbranded RUU for the Amaze, so there isn't really any ICS update for you. The only thing you'll have to do is pick the T-Mobile ICS RUU and go on from there.

Thanks alot for your reply. But that is exactly what i want to do and being not able to do ...
Actually let me put my case more appropriately.
1. I want to update my phone to ICS but then again don't want to loose my warranty (which right now is lost as the phone is un locked and rooted). So before going to update my OS i would like to make sure i can un-lock/lock and root/un-root it? un-lock and rooting part is done now its the reverse mechanism i am seeking help with. No custom or stock rom has been flashed on my bootloader so far.
i have CWM recovery installed on my phone i have made a backup of my phone through it, which i saved on my pc as well as the phone storage now that would be my stock roms image please correct me if i am wrong?
2. And then in the second step i would like to update my os to ICS for that reason i had visited this thread
[Collection] HTC Ruby/Amaze 4G Stock ROMs (RUUs & OTAs)
Thread By: krook6023
and from here i can download the RUU you are talking about right? But wouldn't the software build or kernel version difference make it un successful updation?
if not then i will download one of those RUU's but guide me through with the next steps actually required to update it currently the phone is Un-locked, rooted and S-ON.
I know i am being too naive about things but this is my first android device and i really don't want to mess it up but that doesn't mean i haven't done research i have been reading stuff but as long as i don't get it done once by my hand i think i wont be comfortable doing it, hence require guidance.
Thanks in advance.

put the RUU into the root of the sdcard, it must be named PH85IMG.zip to be detected so rename it if it isnt.
turn off fastboot if its on (find it yourself) power off the phone and then power it on by holding pwr and down on the volume key
OR turn off the phone and then pull the battery, replace and power on using pwr and volume down. Then you will see the menu and choose fastboot it will check the RUU and take a long time then it will say press a key to flash the update, do it. wait a while. even if it seems to take a while dont pull the battery. when the phone boots do the setup and then in google market get ES file explorer and use it to rename the PH85IMG.zip to PH85IMG_1.zip or something so it wont detect it and start the long RUU check if you just want to get into the recovery.
I leave the RUU on my sd card just renamed cause ive had some funny problems and this can save your ass
hope this helped,

And yes everything on your phones internal memory get wiped once you unlock the and reboot your phone. But things stored on the external memory wont be touched they will stay intact. So before unlocking do make a backup of all your applications and store it on your pc and later on put it back on your sd card and download the recovery software you used before to make backup to do restore this time... Hope that would help you.
Isnt your method for 2.3.6? This guy has ics. I have the same tmobile one I simply used hasoon tool to unlock bootloader install recovery and root. Havent done s=off yet. I dont see the point of s=off and supercid yet. Still confused as to if I need them or not

Hi,
Well with regard to just unlocking bootloader the method i sent him would work just fine whether it is ICS or GG. But to install recovery and rooting you need extra steps which he didn't asked for and yes you can do that with the hasoon all in one tool kit.
Can you tell me how you got s-off is wire trick the only way? If so youtube is blocked how can I get that video

Well daniyal i haven't done S-Off yet as i wrote in my previous posts and what i have read in the articles and discussions its a little cumbersome method to achieve that since i haven't done it myself. For youtube part if you want to use youtube you can download and use hotspot shield. Just download it and connect it and it will allow you to use youtube. I hope this helps you.
Also studying in Pakistan and a question does your phone have tmobile logo? If so then do the ph85img method mentioned earlier (don't worry it won't mess up your device) and you don't really need to s-off if you use 4ext recovery which is the best imo. Right now I am on vacation (back in us) but I come back first week of january if you still can't figure this out or feel too scared just call me up (I will pm you my number) and I can walk you through it on the phone quite simple (and if you want to s-off and I can help you with that too) would do it personally if you were in karachi...

Well this is great to have some to talk to in person. It would be doubly great if you could help out with the original questions i posted in the start of my thread. Thanks.
If you want to update it to ICS, most likely, you will have to S-Off it, as there are probably no RUUs that will work with your phone's CID.
It would be helpful if you told us what your CID was. To obtain the CID code from your phone, use the included attachment, extract it to an accessible location, and then boot your phone in FASTBOOT mode, not the BOOTLOADER mode. After you boot in there, plug in the USB cable to the computer.
After you've done that, double click on the file, CID.bat
Let the command run, and then go in the folder where you extracted the files to, and there should be a file called CIDNUMBER.log. Copy the result and then post it here.

Anyone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think there is a RUU you can use with that CID.
It *IS* possible to have the phone update to ICS, but what is *NOT* possible (as of now, because of no RUU for your CID), is to have the phone downgrade back to GB if you need it for warranty purposes. In this scenario, it's an one way street.
You have 2 options really, to leave your phone as is, or to S-OFF the phone in order to update the phone to ICS.

In either case to update to ICS or to get the locked (not relocked) status back with S-on for warranty purposes i need to do S-off isn't that right?
Well for now my amaze is unlocked and rooted so warranty is out of the window and i cant get it back to locked status it always says relocked so i would like to move forward and then with the help of guys like you i would like to get back to original stock if possible.
so whats the next step for me to get my phone to ICS? If i have to do S-off whats the easiest way of achieving it and after achieving it what are the next steps to perform upgradation?
I have a question. I have s-on and rooted my phone and installed twrp while having unlocked bootloader. I want to install 4ext as someone told me thats better on here. Do i have to uninstall twrp or I can just use hansoon tool to install 4ext and it will over right twrp?

Do share your findings when you do that....
I want to root my phone badly and install cyanagenmod 10.2 on my rezound. But I'm afraid to, I mean I've read everything and I'm pretty sure I could do it easily, but it just scares me of bricking my phone, I upgrade sometime this year, should I wait till I upgrade? And by the way, if I do, do it, its on a Mac...
Sent from my HTC Rezound
There's very little if any chance of bricking unless you go S-Off. Keep it S-On and you'll always be able to recover to stock as long as you have a PC (something that works with Fastboot such as Windows or Ubuntu) and the latest RUU
Thank you, I've read that multiple times, but should I wait till I go for a upgrade? Or would you say root it sometime soon? And is it possible on mac though... I have the SDK, and all the necessary stuff on my mac, or at least I think...

ruu requires s-off bud...also if you soft brick while s-on there is no fix what so ever...all soft brick fixes work in s-off only.....but yes you actually root via a custom recovery on the rez...if s-on all you have to do is fastboot flash said recovery which i can link you to and run the su installer

Really it depends on the hboot and radios his phone is on, right? Bc say he were on the global leak 2.27 hboot with 2.22 radios he could still apply that ruu. However if on 2.28 hboot with 2.23 radios there technically is no official ruu so would need have be s_off..

he could fastboot to 2.28 without that provided OTA fille...ruu is actually an exe program... but i suggest against it honestly....but if downgrading at all requires s-off....he can root without s-off and flash roms....so long as he does use s-on instructions....(which to be honest s-on users have a harder time flashing custom roms for the reason of having to fastboot all the time)
Plus S-Off is so easy now... No wire trick

I guess what the OP needs is some words of encouragement so let me just say this : unlocking the bootloader through HTC dev will not brick your phone, flashing a custom recovery will not brick your phone, flashing a custom rom will not brick your phone, getting the most out of your rezound will not brick your phone. Btw happy new year everybody

Ok...so do I go s-off or s-on... Which one would you suggest... I'm kind of a noob... Sorry about that, I've read so many forum's, but I just haven't gotten to do it, or afraid of doing it, I know unlock bootloader and so on so forth... But after that... I know the HTC developers website provides a way for you to unlock the boot loader which allows you to install a custom ROM but I've seen other people do it differently, I've heard mac88 has a great one on rooting HTC rezound, but its supposed to have pictures but it was taken down... Or at least the pictures and I suck at reading it and doing it sometimes... I do better by seeing... Any help for a noob guys... Please help..

Here ya go! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2585885 Much easier than the Juopunut s-off which requires Linux and the use of a wire to short out contacts on your phone.
Edit: Of course you need to be unlocked and rooted, and have a custom rom and kernel already installed to use this method. So it may not be easier for you.

Thank you I got into the boot loader unlock, but haven't done it yet, I went back in to make sure I have everything backed up, and when installing CWM does it back up your stock Rom onto a SD card? I've read things on it but don't really understand...sorry still a noob...

It appears you have a lot more reading to do before you start making these changes to your phone. If not careful you can turn it into a useless brick. I would suggest reading through as many development threads as you can to get more comfortable.
BTW, you won't be doing any of this from your Mac. Find a Windows or Linux computer to use.

That's incorrect information. There is nothing about s-off in that thread and it doesn't exist yet for our phone. That thread is about system write protection, which is something entirely different.

I wish we had s-off, it'd make life easier.
Would have been great to s-off with sunshine but i guess our device is not supported
Someone working on s-off for our device?
Jcase and beaups are working on Sunshine S-off version 3.0, which will most likely support our device. It isn't out yet though, but should be soon. Whatever you do, DO NOT post in the sunshine thread asking anything about it.
$ 25 is a lot for a 610 Thanks for reply
Any advantages now that we can s-off with sunshine?

Having s-off is news to me. @ClearD, did you purchase this? If so how did you implement it? I went to what I think is the thread but didn't see any notice of how to buy it...
Nevermind. Found it here. And the list confirms our phone. I don't think I'll be buying it because I'm not sure what else I can do that I'm not already doing. Good to know its there though.

Went and removed red text and added a new splash
With it, you can also change the radio. And bootloader I think. And pretty much anything.
I assume just running the app will remove the red message, but can we just run this with our bootloaders already unlocked and rooted?
And is there anything that changes as far as how we update firmware in the future? I noticed some people were waiting for new exploits, meaning root might've been broken by updates so there must be some more info to it. It'd be great if it had a built in way to take otas even if it means automating the lock/return to stock to do this...
Thats the only thing I'm worried about, I'll s-off, do the whole recovery and mods, Lollipop drops and the only way to update is to relock and RUU. Then be stuck unrooted.

No, you've gotta flash a new splash screen with the command: fastboot flash splash splash.img
Yes, run it unlocked and rooted. That's optimal.
The current way to root should be fine for the life of the phone. Root tool v4 should be finer, actually. Use it instead. It's easier. No root is broken that I'm aware of.
To get an OTA, you will need to relock and ruu, plain and simple. It's always been that way. I don't know if s-off will affect that or not.

And then when you get the update, you unlock again and re root. Then use titanium backup to restore your apps. It's that easy.

***I actually misspoke there...what I meant was the current version of sunshine wasn't working on the latest firmware (not our phone I don't think) and they were going to release a new version shortly.
That fastboot command you gave me...do I need to put a specific splash img in my fast boot folder or does just typing that in fast boot get it done?

You have to have a specific splash screen. So, someone with a stock one can pull theirs hopefully and we can reflash that.
