Ok so I unlocked my bootloader using HTC method which I guess by now everyone know does not give you s-off. I am also unable to load any recovery either using fastboot or downloading right to my sd card. Teamwin is not working everytime i try to upload it fails. and clockwork will not work for me with fastboot.
[But if anyone can help me is it possible to flash roms on my phone since all I have is unlocked bootloader not being able to run a recovery is it possible to flash roms by putting them on my sd card? if so someone please help me./B]

I'm not sure i am rooted. All I did was unlock the Bootloader. I was unable to flash a recovery thats why I'm not sure if I am rooted. When I hit the volume down and power it takes me to the fastboot skreen. it says unlocked at the top but I still have S-On.

I was unable to do this I cannot seem to get to the tools section in the command window I even tried clicking and draging the file right to the cmd prompt but it fails to take me into the file. So i even tried putting both downloads on my SD card but still wasnt able to get to work. I guess I'm just going to wait for revolutionary to find a solution. I do thank you for your help maybe its just me who cant seem to be doing something right. I am a nooby but i believe I am doing everything right but obviously I am not and i am doing somthing wrong.

Uh? what command prompt,tools section??????
What you did? You need to install Flash image gui app from anywhere. Its an apk app to be installed on phone
I wrote clearly again on what to do....
what i told you is this:
Be sure you are rooted with hboot 1.50
If you want to flash kernels and roms without using PC then just follow these steps:
1.Copy any ROM.zip (Zip file of a valid ROM you downloaded..... it maybe from 95mb to 410mb of size) and recovery.img (link given below) to root of SD card.
2.Download and open Flash Image GUI and select recovery image option and flash the recovery.img by using flash image button (also check wipe dalvik & wipe cache) Then it will prompt to reboot and tap no.
3.Then select kernel image in Flash Image GUI and Select the Rom.zip that you copied to SD Card in above step and flash it using flashimage button (also check wipe dalvik & wipe cache) .Then it will prompt to reboot and tap no.
4.Then switch off your 3vo manually.
5.Then boot into bootloader by pressing volume down+power button..
6.Select Recovery and press power button and recovery will boot.
7.In recovery go to wipe menu select wipe cache , wipe everything ,dalvik etc
8.Then press go back and select flash zip from sd card and select Synergy_3Dvo_Superwipe.zip
9.Then again go back and select flash zip from sd card and select Synergy_Format_Data_EXT4_Optimized.zip.
10.Then again go back and select flash zip from sd card and select the same ROM.zip.
11.Finally reboot the phone and voila!! you got it to workwithout PC.
You could flash any rom Sense/Aosp
Make sure the ROM.zip file is a valid sense/aosp rom.
Here are the files you will need:

UPDATE 08-20-11.Ok Guys, I have been getting quite a few PMs and replies to the post regarding the New (OTA) software update. Rather than replying to every post or PM Here is the Answer...
If you have updated your phone using the Offical OTA with the latest Hboot 1.50 Then you CANNOT Root your phone using the Revolutionary method. The Revolutionary Tool only supports 1.30 and 1.40 Hboot for NOW.
In short if you Update your phone in Excitment or without thinking you are SOL for NOW...
Update 08-17-11 As Pointed out by a few users there is an update to the revolutionary Tool it's now 0.4Pre4, I have updated the revolutionary Zip found in the link provided to include this new update...
First and foremost many thanks to Unrevoked,AlphaRev,TeamWin and all the other devs that have made this possible. Endless RESPECT & LOVE to the Devs...
Now on to the fun and EASY stuff. There are a lot of guide on how to final permanently root your Evo 3D. This to me is just another method and hopefully others who are having issues with doing the process will find this easy as 123... It may look like a lot of reading but it's very simple and detailed.
Hope This will help those who have been frustrated with other methods/guide
I have tired both ADB and this method to obtain S-Off and then custom recovery... I have also included all the files needed in 1 link to complete this steps.
***Link***http://www.mediafire.com/file/5w6hovty8y79wey/EVO 3D All Files Update 08-17-11.zip
AFTER DOWNLOADING ALL FILES PLEASE EXTRACT JUST THE REVOLUTIONARY FOLDER. PLACE THE OTHER THREE ZIP FILES AS IS ON THE ROOT OF YOUR SD CARD (PG86IMG_eng-hboot, su-2.3.6.3-efgh-fixed-unsigned AND TWR). tHE htc DRIVERS IS OPTONAL, IF YOU HAVE THE DRIVERS INSTALL THEN YOU CAN DELETE IT.
Prerequisite
STEP 1: S-Off & ClockWork Mod Recovery (CMR)
1. There are 4 zip files in the folder from the link provided, the ONLY 1 you should extract is the revolutionary folder. The other three files should remain as zip files and should be on the root of your SD card...
2. Make sure you have ADB enable on your device (Menu--Settings--Applications--Development-- USB Debugging).
3. Connect your phone to your PC, select charge only. If you do not have the HTC drivers installed then you show find the exe in the revolutionary folder. Run the .exe to install the HTC android phone usb device. To verify if the device has been install right click (My computer) or (computer) ---Manage-- Device Manager--Double click Disk drives. Your phone should be listed a usb device.
Once this is done4. Open up the revolutionary folder, you should copy/extract all the files by now. Run revolutionary.exe. You will now need to go to http://revolutionary.io/ to get your Beta key. Just click on download (u already have the file) so you don't have to save it. Enter your Hboot version and serial number, generate your key. Enter your key exactly as shown...
5.If you have successfully enter your key the S-off Process will begin. You will be prompted to download Clockwork Mod Recovery (CMR). hit Y and enter to install CMR... Your Phone should reboot and once you are on your home screen you should have S-Off... End of Step 1...
Ok now that you have obtain S-off it's Time for Team Win custom recovery Project (TWRP) + Eng H-boot. I would recommend you check to see if you have clockwork mod recovery before you continue. Power down your phone. REMOVE the battery, put it back in. Hold your hand on the volume down button while pressing the power button. release the power button after a few secs while still holding the volume down button. Your phone should boot to Hboot/bootloader menu. You should see S-off on the top. Now press volume down to select recovery and press the power button to boot into recovery. Your phone should boot into clockwork mod recovery. Make a nandroid backup of your system if you like. Now install "Super user fixed" seeing that you are already in recovery.
Go back to the clockwork mod recovery main menu if you did a back up, if not select install zip... look for su-2.3.6.3-efgh-fixed-unsigned and install/flash. reboot your phone. You can open your App draw to see if you have super user install Just for fun...
You are almost home...
STEP 2. Flash Eng Hboot, Team WIN recovery
1. Connect your phone to your computer and select disk drive, go to your SD card and look for PG86IMG_eng-hboot RENAME it to PG86IMG. If you do not have it on your SD card then copy/move it to the root of your SD card.
2. Remove your phone from the computer and power of your phone. Remove the battery and put it back in. Reboot into recovery (hold vol down + power button for a few secs). Your phone should boot to the bootloader and it should pick up the PG86IMG which is your eng-hboot.
3. Press the Vol up button for yes to flash the PG86IMG. Reboot your phone when done. You have now install your eng-hboot without ADB...
4. Connect your phone to your computer and select disk drive, go to your SD card and REMOVE or REMAIN the PG86IMG. I would recommend you just remove it. Make sure you have the zip folder TWR on your SD card. If not now is a good time to do so. Once this is done remove the phone from the computer and power down your phone. Remove the battery and then back in.
5. Boot into recovery once more (should be a semi pro by now ) Remember vol down and power for a few secs.
6. Go to recovery (vol down) then press power to select. Your phone should boot into clockwork mod recovery. Select install zip... look for TWR and flash/install it. Once down reboot your phone You have successfully install a custom recovery(Team WIN Recovery) AGAIN no ADB or fastboot... You can download quickboot from the market and boot into reocvery which should take u to Team WIN Recovery Project...
7. WE ARE ALL DONE, if you have follow these steps correctly....
***Link Again***http://www.mediafire.com/file/5w6hovty8y79wey/EVO 3D All Files Update 08-17-11.zip
Update 08-17-11 Alternate Method Greetings All,
Did not want to start a new Thread so am Adding an Alternate method for those of you who have been asking if you can Flash TWR and the Eng H-boot Via the Bootloader. The step above was a step by step guide for beginners. Here is the Alternate method for standard & advance users.
If you do not want to Flash the two Zips (Eng hboot, TWR) via recovery then do this:
Steps
1. Obtain S-Off via revolutionary (it is up to you if you want to flash CWR , works both ways...) Reboot... Once Done...
2. Connect your phone to your computer and select disk drive, go to your SD card and look for PG86IMG_eng-hboot RENAME it to PG86IMG
3.Boot into recovery, it should automatically pick up the PG86IMG and ask if you would like to update. Select Yes and once done reboot your phone.
4.Connect your phone to your computer and select disk drive, go to your SD card and REMOVE or REMAIN the PG86IMG. I would recommend you just remove it.
5. Now you will need to rename the TWR to PG86IMG, disconnect your phone from the PC once done.
6. Boot into recovery, it should automatically pick up the PG86IMG and ask if you would like to update. Select Yes and once done reboot your phone.
7. Important: You would need to go to recovery 1 final time to flash the Super User (su-2.3.6.3-efgh-fixed-unsigned).
ALL DONE ,yet another simple way to Root Your HTC EVO3D
JahNile
Evo 3D
Finally now With S-Off + Eng Hboot+ TWRP
Would it be possible to use your Eng Hboot without ClockWork Mod? I accidently hit no instead of yes, I can't figure out why ADB is not working.
You may be able to flash the eng hboot seeing that you now have S off. However you may not be able to flash superuser (SU) and TWR. This requires a custom recovery I believe. You can approach this a few ways. You can try to push the TWR via fastboot /adb then SU. You can also go back to S-On then start from the beginning again.
Both methods can be found in the forum. Good luck.

is this the same ENG Hboot version that was posted in another thread.
Yes all files are from the forum no changes. Just place them into 1 folder rather than post links to them... Try to make it as simple as possible 4 every 1.

Pretty good guide just a few comments that may prevent confusion.... A couple times you say reboot to recovery via power and volume but your are actually booting to bootloader then letting it find a .img or selecting recovery from the menu. I think that's what you were trying to say but like I said trying to prevent confusion. Also I'm almost 100% positive a back up made I'm CWM won't work with TWRP. Otherwise great job I'm sure there will be many people that will appreciate this guide and not having to use fastboot or adb.
Edit: changed a few things in my post... It's late and my brain is toast. Also you can hold off on installing CWM and just install TWRP from the bootloader after renaming it just like the hboot.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
Correct you can install TWR that way as well and def.ly u can reboot to the bootloader instead. Just wanted to be a little detailed. Tx 4 the editing.
If you want to install TWR VIA the bootloader you would need to rename the TWR zip to PG86IMG...
Btw u can flash TWR via clockwork. You r only flashing a zip file so it does work.

hey guys what are the advantages of the eng hboot for are phones other than the 1.30 and the 1.40?
Do you run into the problem with the error for not being able make calls receiev texts..etc?
Yes forgot to mention this. That happen to a few users who have rooted their evo 3D. Just call sprint and they will reset your profile no questions ask. Just tell them no voice services. Its actually a 5 mins or less call. Think its their new fraud protection system kicking in.
u should be up and running in no time easy. They gonna back you remove the battery then put it back In while they update your profile. Then they will have you place a test call and then the Rep will call u to confirm you can recv calls also.

If am not mistake for the most part The ENG hboot is what unlocks NAND protection. Without the NAND unlock, we wouldn't be able to flash ROMs or have custom recovery. Hope this helps.

The ENG HBOOT gives you access to more fastboot commands. For the average user you will not notice the difference. The only time you may need it is if you soft brick your phone... the extra fastboot commands can help you recover. Bottom line is better have it to be safe cause there are no negative side effects.
thanks
Nice guide appreciate the time you took to put this together..

Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
Once your are rooted any wireless tethering app should work. The wifi tether from Google on the market works. There are also some custom stock rom that includes the wifi tether app along with a working version of the sprint hotspot app.
Great guide..just a couple updates: CWM wouldn't download - failed all 3 times. But the way around it was turning the Hboot-ENG into a PG86IMG and went through the bootloader..did the same for TWP. Once in TWP i did the zip for SU.
Other than then, worked out great.
Beta key = cut and past simplest lol.
Everything went great when i ran revloution.exe. it found my phone, and then did its things succesfully.
however when it got to the last step where revloutionalry.exe downloads some file from the net, it says FAILED TO DOWNLOAD (ofcorse the simplest problem gets in teh way).
then it retries a few times and just fails and closes.
what do i do from here? please help me, there is nothing that addresss what to do when the dumb download does not fail.
So i need to know what step there was not completed.
I turned off fast boot and then rebooted whit power and volume down (or up i forget) and then from the white screen i can choose recovery. but when i do it just gives me a Computer looking icon with an exclamation point in the middle.
how do i proceed from here? what part is it that the recover.exe did not successfully download (why would they not just let you insert the file or include it! download issue, really? that should be the easiest part of this.)
Are you talking about the part after it did s-off where it gets you recovery? You just edited your post, looks like you need recovery. Get the twrp PG86IMG.zip and follow the instructions.
BANG! from my shooter...

Sounds like it is s-off'd but is trying to install CWM. You can probably just exit and reboot your phone from here and flash CMW or TW's recovery
Hi, thanks for the quick replies!
I think you both are correct.
I DO have S-OFF showing. and i did already put PG86IMG.zip on the root of my flash drive.
How do i flash PG86IMG.zip or CMW or TW's recovery? the .zip file i have does not have any info with it and i can not open the .zip as its really a .img file.
I dont know what you guys mean when you say oh just flash it TW Recovery.
THanks Alot!
put it on root and rboot hold volume down and power button down. follow prompts. i recommend team wins. it rocks.

Your PG86IMG.zip, has to be named exactly that, all in caps and not .zip.zip (which are both common mistakes). Reboot to bootloader (hold volume - and press power). The zip should be automatically scanned and recognized and the phone will prompt you to press volume + to flash. After it flashes successfully, you will have recovery installed. Then remove that .zip from the root of your card, otherwise it will try to reflash recovery anytime you enter the bootloader.
Download the recovery twrp. Place it on the root of your sd as in not in any folders. Then power off phone. Then hold volume down and tap power. From there you should be good.
Locked & Loaded
Ok the .zip file is there. When i boot to the White Screen (volume - and Power) It does the scan, and then i get the white screen. where its on Hboot
options are fastboot
recovery
Factore REset
SimLock
Image CRC
It says revolutionary at the top
Shooter XC Ship s-OFF RL
Hboot- 1.40.1000
I never get a "Press +" to flash like someone said above. So what option from above do i choose? Or maybe i've already been flashed with the .zip file? how would i know if the .zip flash has already happened (thus meaning i need to remove the .zip from the root of my SD card)
thanks alot guys
GOT IT
Fixed, Its now updated.
For those who want to know what the issue was: I was opening the .zip file and pulling out the .img and renaming that to PG86IMG.zip.
the fix was to do it the right was, and just name the full downloaded .zip file to PG86IMG.zip and copy that to the SD card
I have one issue though now, on Shooter Rom when i try to do ##3283# to put in my sprint user ID so Data will work, Edit -> asks for a password.
what is the password for edit EPST? tks
EDIT: Found the solution to the password, use WIFI to get a program from the market called MSL Finder. and that will give you the password (the MSL) or you can call sprint for this.
tks
Well I got the MSL by calling sprint, but all the info was already properly entered in the EPST (MDN , MSID and user ID @ sprintpcs).
But im still getting Error 67 on the mobile network.
Rom is Shooter RLC2 RC1
ANyone know how to fix or debug the error 67 code and sprint internet not working?
tks again
Fixed Internet, now all is good:
Fix was to wipe all, 3 times, then re flash shooter. It did the normal intro steps and 3g worked!
tks

I rooted my rezound and wanted to update my rezound to ics os I followed the step exactly but when I rebooted I got stuck on the white screen. I took out the sd card and deleted the zip file and download the file again put the sd card back into the rezound but same thing. Now I can't get back to old 2.3.4 os i was using before because the post said do a wipe all data can someone help me with this to get my phone back to working order. I don't care if it is android 2.3.4 or ics 4.0 plase help.
I would first delete the PHzip file so you can start over.
Are you able to get into fastboot?
If so, check what mainver you are on with the following command:
fastboot getvar all
Also, check if you can get into recovery. Do you have Amon Ra on there? Did you make a nandroid before trying to flash ICS? If you made a nandroid and can get into recovery then restore that. If you didn't make one make a mental note to always make one before you flash ANYTHING on your phone.
If you can't restore, after you get your mainver, try to run RUU to get you back to stock. You need to relock the phone before running this.
Use the file from here that corresponds to your mainver:
http://www.filefactory.com/f/c2e320ee1d5c7886/
(Link from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1338916)
If your mainver is 3.xx then you are up to ICS and will need to find a thread about getting back from that mainver to stock. I know I've seen one or two.
I had that same screen after flashing my first ROM, and in my case it was that it couldn't install the lower mainver in the ROM kernel (most are 1.x) since I was already on 2.x from the OTA. You probably need a different kernel to flash that has your version. Look in Rezound Android Development for a thread titled [KERNEL] Assorted stock kernels, then get the one you need based on what you learn from the previous reply and flash in recovery.

This is the thread I believe:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22076459
If just the kernel doesn't work, another thing you can try besides RUU is flashing a Stock OTA ROM. You can use con247's Stock OTA ROM instead of running the RUU.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21880389
Here are the steps to take to accomplish that:
1) use Amon Ra to flash con's vigorStock OTA ROM. It will do its thing then reboot to hboot. I think it then asks you if you want to update. Don't do it yet.
2) At this point you want to relock. So go into fastboot on the phone. Using adb/fastboot type the following at the cmd prompt:
fastboot oem lock
3) Reboot phone and let it flash the PHzip file. It should reboot completely when it's finished.
4) delete the PHzip file using a file explorer app like ES File Explorer or Root Explorer.
5) get the phone back into fastboot. Unlock again using adb/fastboot. I don't remember the exact command but you can find that in the guide for unlocking.
6) reinstall su using Amon Ra.
Now you should be stock OTA rooted with the new goodies.
i can't even get into the command promt it scolls down really fast and closes. when i went to sdk manager all the 4.0.3 boxes were checked does that mean i hane ics 4.0.3?
Sorry yes i can get into fastboot iv'e tried everything i can search for. Am gonna try getting a different kernel for the 4.0.3 ics
Well i install a custom rom and kernel but before i installed i did a wipe and restore to factory and i wiped delvek and then sared the install of new kernel and custom rom. am i missing somgthing. If i were to try to back up android 2.3.4 from my girlfriend lg revolution would i be abould to exract only the android 2.3.4 and erase the lg and somehow get sense 3.5. I dont know am new to this. I rooted the phone fine with no prob and i thought that an update would be easy. I did have amon ra but now i cant locate it on my sd card. I even tried the PH98IMG.zip thing and that didnt work. I will try anything please help and dont give up on me. Oh and is there another way to get the command promt up.
Everything you need can be found in these Rezound forums.
So you can get into fastboot. That's good.
Do you still have your computer set up from when you unlocked the phone? If not, download the mini sdk that MrSmith317 made that I've attached and place that in the C: directory of your computer and name it something easy, mine is named android-flasher. Then just always keep it there as you will need to use it often when modding your phone.
1) get the sdk working on your computer
2) On your phone, do a battery pull, then boot it into fastboot and then connect it to your computer.
3) Type the following at your computer's cmd prompt:
fastboot getvar all
and find out what mainver you are on.
* If you are on a mainver that starts with 3.x then you cannot run the RUUs. I will try to find out what you should do in that case. If your mainver starts with 1.x or 2.x then continue onto step 4.
4) Relock your phone by typing the following:
fastboot oem lock
5) Download the RUU for your mainver to your computer. Use the file from here that corresponds to your mainver:
http://www.filefactory.com/f/c2e320ee1d5c7886/
This is an exe file so just run it on your pc with your phone attached. I know you need to be locked, I think you need HTC Sync installed, so if it's not working search for those answers, it will work, others have done it. Now you are back to stock.
5) Unlock your phone again using the same unlock bin file you got before by putting it in the same folder you are now using for sdk. Type the following command:
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
If you don't have it obtain a new one by following the same steps you did before to get it originally. Here is a guide for that:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20780879&postcount=1
Now you should be stock and unlocked.
6) Flash Amon Ra in fastboot. Get the lateset version, 3.13. here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?chpoxzb8bl4nn2b
Type the following command to flash it:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-ra-vigor-3.13-gnm.img
Now you should have Amon Ra on your phone.
7) Root your phone by installing su using Amon Ra. Go to the developer menu and find the option in there.
Now you should be stock, unlocked and rooted.
8) MAKE A NANDROID BACK UP NOW AND LABEL IT.
9) Flash a new ROM.
*** If your mainver is 3.x try this thread to see if you can come up with a method to go back to stock. I haven't looked into this since I have not ventured into ICS land as of yet.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459347
There are also some threads about getting back to stock from ICS I think so here are my search results for "stock ics" in the thread title and you can probably find an answer in there somewhere.
Hope this helps you get back up and running.
OK nevermind I got it. I just download mik roms and the kernel right under ineffabilis rom and the link for the kernal is right under it. I had to do the steps twice but it work finally like at 430 in the morning. I turned off the computer and went to bed. The first thing I did when I woke up was check my phone and it was still working. Phone calls,text wifi pretty much all features are working. So i decided to write an update to let anybody know that if you have trouble fixing white htc screen dont worry it can be fixed. Am verying new to this and if I can fix this anyone can. I will check back on this post to see if any needs help. Thank you for the people who tried to help me in my post. Now I can be one of the people who help others now that I know who to root and fix the white sceen.
If you haven't done so, make a nandroid right now so you can always go back to that if anything gets messed up.
The "people" who tried to help you was me, so maybe you can hit my "thanks" button.
Just a detailed messages of What I did.
1) I erased any PH98IMG.zip or any other roms I download so the sdcard should have no roms,kernels or anything you downloaded to fix the white htc screen. What I did was use my girlfriend LG Revolution to insert my sdcard to erase any roms or whatever I tried to use to fix before.
2) put the sdcard back into the same phone and hold down the - volume and the power key to get to HBOOT screen. On this part I always did the battery pull but I left the back cover off up to you if you want to put it back on I guess it doesnt really matter and connect your phone to your computer.
3) Push the volume button down til you get to recovery and push the power button once to select recovery.
4) push the -volume til you get to USB-MS TOGGLE and push the power button once. Now go to USB-MS Toggle SDCard now your SDCard is read by your computer.
5) Now go to this website and dont read everything just use download link about half way down the web page. Ineffabilis V1.0 make sure to skip the ad first then the real download should pop up. Now click SAVEAS and when the files come up to choose where to save left click once to highlight your SDCard or removeable stroage and click save. Now do the same thing for the download right under Ineffabilis V1.0 named stock rooted kernel (flash in bootloader)
http://themikmik.com/showthread.php...-0-12-31-11-Sense-3-5-Beats-Tweaks-1-02-605-6
thank you so much guys from themikmik.com you saved my phone
6) After dowload is complete press power to disable USB-MS. Now push power once to return to recovery menu and disconnect your phone from the computer. Go down to wipe push power once to select. push power once on Wipe ALL data/factory reset and push power again to start the wipe. After that is done scoll down to Wipe Dalvik-cache after that is done go back to the recovery menu.
7) Now go to flash zip menu and push power once. Go to choose zip from sdcard now install the kernel and then the rom you downloaded.
9) once it is complete go to re boot system now and push the power button. and your done it will stay on the white screen for about 20 min and start up.
more info my s-on.
Just thought I would share this good luck.

Also erase or rename the PH98IMG.zip file from the root directory of your SDCARD. It could save you some headaches in the future.

have you tried downloading a stock rom?
download either the leak ICS stock rom or the stock gingerbread rom
rename the rom zip file to PH85IMG.zip
put the file on your microsd card and insert card into phone
relock your bootloader
boot into bootloader (vol down + power)
go into bootloader, not fastboot
stock rom should automatically install

hey, okay so my friend did the ICS stock rom, renamed it, put it on sd card, and when he put it in fastboot, or the vol down power screen, w.e its called he said it says "CID incorrect update fail"
could it be because we r renaming it to PH85IMG.ZIP? when it says PH85DIAG.ZIP?
like what does CID incorrect even mean

That's because it's a T-Mobile rom and i'm guessing your on a different carrier? You have to do the CID unlock but i beleive you have to be S-OFF to do that..

To use the tmobile leaked ICS you need to either be a tmobile client, or be s-off and superCID your phone. Theres tutorials for this on the forums. If youre not tmobile, I might suggest using a stock gingerbread RUU for your carrier. Again, you should be able to find this with a quick search of the forums. From there, do as suggested above by naming it PH85IMG.zip and putting it on your sd card. The boot into the bootloader (vol down + power) and it should automatically recognize the image and update. If it doesnt recognize the image, make sure you named it appropriately in windows (no extra .zip, and I believe case is important).

according the the link i posted above
The process is very simple and exactly the same as the Sensation and most S-Off HTC devices:
1. Command prompt (or terminal for linux) and type "cd" "followed by the path to your adb folder" (windows users can type "cd C:\adb")
2. Ensure your phone is switched on (regular home screen) and connect it by USB in charging mode (Ensure usb debugging is on settings)
3. Enter the command "adb devices". This is to confirm your phone is connected. (It should come back with list of devices attached and your serial number)
4. Enter the command "adb reboot-bootloader". (nothing further required device WILL reboot in bootloader)
IF it doesn't you can Manually put the phone in the bootloader/hboot mode
Navigate to fastboot by pressing volume down and pressing power button to select (power off > vol down + power on)
It will take you to the fastboot bootloader screen on your phone
Connect your phone via USB
Your Screen should now read fastboot USB
5. Enter the command "fastboot oem writecid 11111111"
6. Enter the command "fastboot reboot-bootloader (Wait for it to reboot the bootloader)
7. Enter the command "fastboot getvar cid" [it should confirm your CID is 11111111]
8. Enter the command "fastboot reboot"
9. You can now flash any ROM you like.
problem is i cant put my phone into usb debugging mode because in order to do that i need to be able to access my home screen, which i cant since im bricked at the htc amaze screen, and r the above steps correct?

according to the "click here" link you put u gotta
1) be locked with s-off using juopunutbear's s-off method.
2) flash the eng hboot 1.90.2005
3) with s-off and the eng hboot, rename the ruu to ph85img.zip and put on root of external sd card
4) boot into bootloader and apply the update
5) once updated, reflash the eng hboot again
6) flash the cwm 5.5.0.4 recovery in fastboot (fastboot flash recovery *****.img)
7) flash the superuser package in recovery to gain root
but juopunutbear's s-off method recquires usb debugging how do i s-off if i cant enable usb debugging, since im bricked at htc screen, pls help
i was also under the impression that ext 4 touch allowed you to install roms requiring soff without the need for actually having to go s off

when you rename the file don't put the ".zip" in the name just type in "PH85IMG" its already a zip file. so adding the .zip will read "PH85IMG.zip.zip"
im new to this whole rooting thing so please help a noob out.
So i unlocked the bootloader but unfortunately i tried to flash a rom while S-On; So now im stuck on the HTC screen. I tried to do the PH85IMG.zip thing but it doesnt seem to do anything. I would really appreciate any help guys (it sucks using a flip phone for over a week.)
the amaze is the tmobile version
I'm no pro but I have rooted and done all things root to 3 amazes. So you unlocked the bootloader. Did you flash a custom recovery? After that you should have perma rooted the phone by flashing the su.zip thingy. After that you should have preformed a backup. Then flashed the Rom. Take. The boot.IMG from the unpacked Rom placing it in the tools folder in androidsdk then flashing it in fastboot. This is how I do it. Always worked for me. In detail what did you do?
Edit. I also have s-on. Both on my girls amaze and my one s. I'm not sure if some roms require s off but I never had a problem flashing roms. Kernels are always easy using fastboot method.

the order of what you just described doing some how seems entirely wrong... let me make a few corrections to what you should do
if you haven't flashed a custom recovery place your phone into bootloader mode (by removing the battery then reinserting and holding vol down + power button)
then enter FASTboot (by using the power button in the bootloader)... use hasoon2000's toolkit found Here in the second post (don't forget to hit thanks to his post)
flash 4EXT recovery, once in 4EXT check to make sure smart flash is enabled
once in 4ext recovery do a wipe DATA/FACTORY, followed by formatting SYSTEM then wipeing CACHE then DALVIK CACHE
after doing that proceed to trying to flash your rom again, if it fails download another ROM and use the MOUNT USB feature in 4EXT to mount your phone to the pc while in recovery and place another rom on your SD card to try and flash
overall the steps to flashing a rom on a "NEW" phone is Unlock Bootloader > Flash Custom Recovery > Flash SU for ROOT > BACKUP!! > Full WIPE > Flash ROM > BACKUP! if you require more info feel free to make another post
hope this helps

Which RUU did you use? Personally, I'd suggest using THIS RUU.
Before using this RUU, make sure your battery is FULLY charged, and then make sure you have re-locked your bootloader. After that, rename the RUU to PH85IMG (usually the .zip part is already appended to the end, so if you add the .zip part, it'd actually be PH85IMG.zip.zip, which won't work)
Then add it to the root of your SDCard, boot into bootloader by taking out your phone's battery, putting it back in, then holding volume down button and power button. Keep holding those 2 buttons until the bootloader screen comes up. It will auto-detect the RUU and go from there.
After all's said and done, unlock your bootloader again, install a custom recovery - I recommend the 4EXT recovery - and then flash your ROM of choice.
Best of luck!
