runeazn said:

couldnt turn it on after pulling battery. and couldnt turn on after inserting charger cable.
So I guess i need to go for a RMA right?

If you have insurance already, take it into the store for repair. If they do just fix it you'll keep root. More than likely, as per my experiences with your exact issue, they'll give you a new device and you'll have to root it.
warranty is with HTC directly. So if i return it is a very big hassle.
so i need to boot into it temporary but i do not know how to boot it without using the physical button, and unroot it or is it if you relock it it will say "relocked"?
if thats true i better try to get warranty then..
i get a feeling adb will do the job but what command?

You can attempt to take the back cover off and fiddle around with the power button location. But there is no way to boot from adb. Unless your computer somehow detects the device when it's off. If you want to see if it does, type...
adb devices
If your computer does somehow see it, then type
adb reboot
I used the Revolutionary method to S-Off mine, it sounds as if you used the HTC unlock method, which I'm not familiar with. So I can't really help you with what it would say if you attempted a relock.
HTC method will say "relocked" if you relock it. If you have a Sprint store nearby just take it in. You don't have to hassle with sending it to HTC directly in most cases.
so i had this problem with my phone that about a 1 cm margin on the right side of my phone just doesnt respond and before you ask yes i factory reset and even went back to stock rom, but it just wouldnt fix it.
so had this problem for about one month and i got extremely annoyed with it ESPECIALLY because i got this phone when it came out so i still have more than a year left with this phone.
so i finally decided to give HTC an email about it.
they promptly responded with an email with a phone number for me to call and check on my warranty and talk about repairing my phone.
i called like a couple minutes ago and after like five minutes of staying in phone call limbo and listening to some catchy elevator music i got through to someone who sounded like she was tired because she slurred her words. it was not a bother for most of my friends talk like that. anyways back to the subject, i told them id numbers and told them that my LDI(liquid damage indicator) was white, which means no water damage. and she said
"well it seems everything is in order, your warranty is still in effect and we can replace your device's screen and you can have it back within two weeks for free you would just have to pay about ten dollars for shipping."
Eh i didnt care as long as i get this **** fixed. BUT THEN
i had to ask the question
what if i unlocked my bootloader?
she slowly responded with "well i'm sorry but that would void your warranty"
FUUUUUUUUUUU-
then i proceeded to ask her why, she said that if i sent in the device then more than just the screen would have to be replaced because they would have to get something with a locked bootloader. i asked how much...
$200 without shipping
well right now i am slamming my head into the wall for the unfortunate turn that happened.
i just thought to post this to let the community hear about.. well just to tell somebody, post your thoughts
Just relock it, go back to stock and send it in

dude! just make a cover up and re-lock your boot loader... they dont need access to anything to replace the screen.
its litterally like a couple screws, pull the phone apart, disconnect a ribbon cable, pull old screen out, put new in, and so on... (they dont need in your hboot)
so just lock it, call back, and tell them whats going on. dont mention anything about hboot/unlocking. just let them fly into it blind
i was thinking that but do you think that would work??
for some reason i think that it will leave type of footprint and then i get a call from HTC saying
"your device has had an unlocked bootloader, please fork up 200 bucks"
also another thing, do you think if i actually do that would it be safe to go back to stock rom, in case they test it and see the custom rom and sayWTFBBQSAUCE
F#$k that, send it without the battery and relock it lol

Use the S-Off method, but do not install Juopunut's HBOOT. It will say your phone is locked instead of relocked. Then you can use a fastboot command to make it S-On. They won't have a damn clue what hit them!
thanks everybody,
i dont think i will have to s on my bootloader because i have yet to s off.
this exact reason was why i was holding off on s off because that will definitely void the warranty, well i think i will start my journey on locking my bootloader,
so just to make sure, what should i exactly do.
this is what i think i should do
go back to stock rom, i think(btw if anybody has the stock rom, help me out)
lock bootloader,
lose root?
and then im set?
regardless i will wait untill this weekend to do any of that because i am busy during weekdays,
Also, to get s off, wouldnt i just have to do a command like 'oem lock'
or something like that

Well, most likely, your warranty would not be void due to your bootloader being unlocked regardless of what the rep told you. As long as rhe issue with the phone is a hardware issue, which yours certainly is, it should still be covered by the warranty unlocked or not..

So, long story short, took the Phone into Sprint so they could look at my headphone jack (was cracked and left ear bud would constantly cut in and out) because its acting up.
Gave the Tech the phone without the battery in it (since he didn’t need to power up the device to clearly see the headphone jack has a huge crack in it) but I left my SD card installed. As he was walking away, I asked him if I could remove my SD card and he let me, then seen that I gave him the phone without a battery. So, I ended up giving it to him (praying he didn’t turn it on and see ViperBoys sick ass ROM booting up) and he accidently pressed the power button turning the phone on. Promptly short after, he removed the battery when the phone was on the HTC screen, didn’t even get the boot animation. I was like OHH $h!t, that gonna mess up my phone & sure as $h!t, it did… Just loops in and out of that screen resetting each time with a little vibrate then looping.
I can get into Fastboot and use ADB, I’ve flashed RUU’s, put Stock image on root of SD and let recovery restore (losing my CWM & my HBOOT 1.400), unlocked, relocked, wiped, thrown, and screamed at it with no luck.
I did do a CWM backup before even setting foot in the Store, so I do have a backup. The 1st thing I tried was restoring it through CWM recovery and that didn’t stop the looping. I can still get into fastboot via power + vol down and adb functionality is still there.
HBOOT is 1.50 and s-on is enabled..
Been reading through threads since lunch and tried many different solutions without success. It seems once a phone is this far gone, people stop responding.
Anyone have any ideas?
New phone will be here tomorrow (free of coarse courtesy of Sprint insurance) but I’ve been without a phone all day and most of yesterday. I’d like to get this one back to stock and booting before I trade it in for the replacement tomorrow
So you ran an RUU and it still didnt work? And you're sure the RUU SUCCESSFULLY ran without any parts of it failing right?
If that's true, there's no hope AFAIK. Try to get it not to show the bootanimation by bricking it further.

Yup, RUU ran though fine and finished without error. Thing has been rooted since Revolutionary came out with the 1st rooting scheme for the 3D.. Flashed tons of ROM's never had this problem.

My only explanation is that while he removed the battery some of your hardware got borked. This can't possibly be a software issue.

BUMMER! In case the question comes up I ran "RUU_Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_2.17.651.5_Radio_1.06.00.1216_NV_NV_spcs_1.42_release_233304_signed" and it ran just fine.
Hmm, hardware issue. Dont see how I can check for that if it doesnt boot.
Guess I'll just have to wait for the new Phone
try to fastboot oem lock it from fastboot. Then RUU, see if that works.
Why even get this one to work if you are getting a replacement?
Sprint is just going to put the phone back to stock....

The HTC unlock went as expected. Followed the directions to the "T", then relocked, checked in fastboot (not that I could check anywhere else, LOL) and the phone says "*** RELOCKED***". Ran 2.17.651.5 RUU successfully to the finish. Still looping
WEIRD!

Because I just want to know WTF happened!!! Had this Phone since release, abused\used the hell out of it by flashing ROMs constantly, restoring backups, tethering like crazy, emailing, texting, FBing...
No reason for it to crap out on me from a simple mistake, not even of my responsibility, lol!
The only issue I've had with this Phone is that damn headphone jack 1/2 way failing..

DONT TEMPT ME DAMMIT! lol! Just been without a phone for almost 3 days. I'm also seeing a lot of new threads about people experiencing what I've gone through.
Woops, sprint\HTC! once again rooted, and running viperROM.... SWWWWWET!
HBOOT 1.5 and s-on is a *****!
Not to mention... But in Linux, I never got revo recovery to flash... You can do it in windows just do it via fastboot.
Took my Orig cwm bsckup "recovery" & "boot" .img and threw them @ the phone via command prompt.
After cwm was restored, I restored my 4\29\2012 backup that I made before I entered the Sprint store, now my phone is back to the exact same way
It was. Pretty Damn sweet!

Please help read!!
So my HTC amaze died on me about 2 days ago I was listening to my music in my car connected through Bluetooth then a cop passed by and everything shut off haha coincidence haha anyway went home had no service like absolutely nothing thought nothing of it and went to sleep, next morning still nothing and ever since now its dead. Called HTC they said most likely its T-Mobile not the phone but they sent me a replacement back cover (which is cool) because the antennas are on the back anyway I know this isn't the problem because even without the back cover you can still get signal. So I took phone to T-Mobile put new sim tested and nothing so now I know its the phone not T-Mobile. Anyway my question is how can I prepare to send back to T-Mobile I have relocked phone put stock recovery and put leaked ics Rom. So is that bad that it sais relocked and bad if I'm using leaked ics rom I know its voids warrenty when it sais relocked but my software and phone everything works perfect its just the signal so will they fix it? And when I send in could I send phone with a eBay bought battery not HTC one so they could send me a new battery or should I send only HTC battery, phone, and back cover. And also is there any fix for this so I don't have to send in? Please help thanks
You can install official ruu and that will update and install your hboot to locked, which is what tells them if it's locked or relocked. If you don't know how to do this you need to read. Also I've been hearing that ever since s off became available they are considering as voiding warranty not sure if this has taken effect yet or if it matters but just to be sure if your s off read the section that tells you how to s on.
Now before you send have you tried toggling airplane mode on and off ? Still no signal? Flash the official ruu usually fixes these issues. If still no signal then I suggest you send it in.

It's still gonna say relocked, the only way he can get it back to "locked", is if he s-off's the device, once s-off is successful, it automatically puts it as locked all over again, he can leave it as lock, restore a stock ruu, then using, use the command: fastboot writesecureflag 3, that will s-on the device along with everything else being complete stock.
Hmm ya I know how to ruu wich I did but I ruu the ics leak and now everything's stock accept that it sais relocked and want to know if that's gonna be a problem for warrenty when I send it in? It shouldnt since its not software problem? And ya hear how to s off just don't want to try wire trick and all that. And yep tryed turning off and on airplane mode turning off radio taking T-Mobile to change sim cards have original stock Rom tryed *#*#4636#*#* all those tricks but nothing.

When you chose to unlock boatloader you voided your warranty. So by saying relocked it tells them you unlocked it. You need to do what dark nightmare says or you run the risk of not warranting your phone. Luckily for me I "lost" my phone so I couldn't send it in.

aw glacierguy thanks for the positive attitude! hope everything goes good for my phone!
So update for everyone i called HTC back and told them to cancel my back cover replacement for the Amaze because i know this is not the reason why i have no bars! because without that cover i still had bars and i know the amaze has some more antennas inside the device. Anyway i told them that i want to send the phone in for repairs so now everything set up and just have to send the phone on its way :crying: hope its a hardware issue and they can fix it. In the mean time got kinda intresting email from HTC saying
"After we receive the device, we will diagnose it and if there are any damages that fall outside of the limited warranty, we will contact you with a quotation to repair. If you choose not to repair, a service fee of up to $35 dollars will be charged and the device will be returned unrepaired."
Yes kinda scared me but hope i don't have to pay anything for this repair so everyone wish me luck and ill let you guys know how everything goes.
Sucks im probably not gonna have my phone for about a month
Just asking, but even if you managed to get the phone completely back to stock and say "Locked" isn't HTC able to tell if you've unlocked the bootloader via their unlock process on the website?
I was under the impression that the entire reason for the HTC unlock process (getting the key from the phone, etc) was so that they would have a database of phones that have had their bootloader unlocked? I'm kind of new to this but that was my impression.

I think they do have a database, yes, but that only tells them that you requested the file, they can't know you YOU used the file, can they? Huh? Nope, if they knew you used the file, that sir would be invasion of privacy, then they'd be paying for more than just a simple device replacement with the lawsuits that would be hitting them from every mobile device owner using their product.
So once it says "Locked", they can't say you voided your warranty, then they'd have to prove it.
Yes what darknightmare said you could get token but maybe last second decided not to do it haha anywho sending it saying relocked hope they fix hardware issue if not maybe gotta spend money?

They don't need a database. There is no way I know of to get a "locked" phone once it has been unlocked. It will say "relocked". So HTC knows it has had an unlocked bootloader. That doesn't necessarily negate the warranty so far as HTC is concerned. I've read that they have fixed what are obviously hardware problems. But they won't fix anything that a ROM screwed up unless you pay.
The wildcard is T-Mobile. They may or may not be picky about these sort of things.
Ya for sure lets see what htc sais shipped out today through ups htc should get it thursday hope ups loses or breaks my packagae have 300 dollar insurance ha but yep anyone know of any prices for this fix?

Sir, when I say there is a way to get a "locked" bootloader, please don't argue with me unless you can prove my theories wrong, , I have tested and proven everything I speak of, I don't just say something because I want to.
Edit: For the record, once it says "relocked" you have voided your warranty, if you read the agreement on HTC website when unlocking your bootloader and the message on the device when unlocking, it clearly states by unlocking your bootloader you are voiding your warranty.

100% on what Dark Nightmare said, i followed the procedure on the forums on how to completely restore to stock. i was s-off etc.. after it was all said and done, my phone was locked and ready to rock. I sent it back after my replacement arrived and all was good.
Just read through General, Q&A and Dev section, Trust me the answer is there. It's ALWAYS there. I used the GB juopunutbear S-off tool instead of the ICS tool cause i am retarded and didn't take my time and got stuck because of it. I did 2-3 minutes of using the search button and i was fixed in a second!
First of all! Yes Dark Nightmare is correct he knows his stuff you can put it back to locked anywho i would first like to say thank you for all the replys to this post. First post and didnt think my question would be answered but it was and its a great community we got here, i may be new member, but ive always been on xda reading up and hacking all my phones i have went from metro pcs huawei ascend, tmobile my touch 4g and now htc amaze all rooted and custom roms also have done droid and sidekick 4g.

Sir, when I say there is a way to get a "locked" bootloader, please don't argue with me unless you can prove my theories wrong, , I have tested and proven everything I speak of, I don't just say something because I want to.
Edit: For the record, once it says "relocked" you have voided your warranty, if you read the agreement on HTC website when unlocking your bootloader and the message on the device when unlocking, it clearly states by unlocking your bootloader you are voiding your warranty.

I think my post may not have been clear. Of course you can lock the bootloader; that is how one installs the original ROM. But I was under the impression that it then says ”relocked” if you have previously unlocked the device. That warning from HTC have me a lot of pause when I read it! But I think what I read said ”may” void your warranty. But I was reading fast...

I was given a htc DNA and it's been one headache after another. It had a cracked digitizer, s-off, eng hboot, unlocked boot loader and a custom recovery installed on it when it was given to me. Trying to make a long story short, I ended up having to replace the board with the sim card reader on it and immediately after putting the new board in the cameras quit working along with the speakers and microphone. I was able to get all but the cameras working, but then I bricked it, and here is how. I was attempting to return back to stock, relocked the boot loader, was attempting to use a ruu which wasn't working, so I decided to unlock my boot loader again. The story ends with me attempting the unlock with ez-unlock, and when I did it said successful and I was able to keep using the phone as normal, but after turning the phone off it wouldnt turn back on, and the only sign of life comes when I plug it into my computer. As soon as i connect it to my computer, htc sync manager opens up but says no phone connected, device manager will show the phone as my htc and android 1.0.. I've experienced similar signs of life from an htc vivid, but it's issues were due to a bad battery, so I am hoping for the best but expecting this to end with jtag. Can anybody help me out please, it would be great to not require jtag services, but it would be better yet if I could gain a better understanding of at least what went wrong. Thank you

You can't boot into anything? Not even bootloader mode?

Sadly no, I can't get it to boot at all. I also need to mention that the lights don't come on when it's plugged in either. I'm thrown for a loop by it all because my computers will still react to it if I hook it up to them with usb, but that's about all they will do. Why would sync manager open up when I plug it in, but then state that there is no device connected.
Ive seen where people have said to leave phone charging for 24 hours without trying to turn it on and it worked. I've also seen people run a calibration test on the battery but I forgot how to do it.

EZ-Unlock is an unsupported method by the DNA hardware. It will always cause a hard-brick. Which you have done. I did this to myself at one point, too. I tried EZ-Unlock and it hard-bricked my DNA. Call Verizon. Tell them that it just randomly started doing this. Don't mention root or anything. They'll replace it for free. That's what I did.
Sorry about that bud. Try to do some more research before modding your phone next time.

Or, he could so kindly ask Zarboz to jtag it for him and fix it possibly. I'm not saying he will jtag it but he does jtag work, so if you want to know more you should pm him about it.
Yeah I forgot Z could JTAG it... Thanks for posting that. I am sure that he will be more than happy to JTAG it for him.

Can you get into the bootloader by holding power+volume down for any amount of time?
Have you let it sit on the charger over night?
Hold power down for at least 20 seconds to a minute?

Well thank you for your feedback, and assistance. I owe most everything I know about phones to XDA and it's members! Regarding my situation with the DNA, yup sure enough it is bricked. I figured it was, but have had similar reactions from a bad battery in the past, so.. Regarding the process of unlocking the boot loader, this is the first time I've ever directly seen anything regarding the cid. Not sure if maybe it has been part of the process in ways that I was unaware of in the past with other phones or if this is more device specific, but either way would anybody possibly know where I could find more in depth information regarding this and if there is anybody who is knowledgeable with this that wouldn't mind helping somebody out?
sorry for the run on sentences lol
oh, and thank you for the referral to Zarboz, I will definitely be getting in touch with him.
