First time flashing. Unlocked using HTC method, thought I backed up my rom using rom manager, went and flashed to Cyanogenmod 9. Didn't like it, wanted to go back to stock, but can't find the back up. Now my radio doesn't work, can't figure out which version of stock rom I need to flash either. Any help appreciated.
with htc unlock root, you need to flash roms by booting to recovery through fastboot, there are other options, but this one works 100% of the time.
Well yeah, I did that, but how to I get a stock rom back on so my phone will work? I can't connect to the mobile network now. How do I know which stock rom to download? I guess I don't understand how to tell I'm getting the right rom.
U want the latest ruu it will update everything.. dunno how u flash cause I'm s off
Ps in the future please post questions in q&a and not* development thread
did it help? hit the button!

Thanks, and sorry for not posting in correct location. Guess I don't know how to flash the RUU without being in S-OFF.
Check the stickies, there's a link to stock rooted ROMs in there somewhere. I'd link it, but I'm in a crappy area and it takes ages to load a thread.
On the other hand, why not just pick a ROM that's not in alpha and actually has most features working?

You would want to boot into the bootloader, relock it and DL the RUU found in this LINK. Once downloaded, run the RUU.exe file on your pc while your phone is in the bootloader. It will flash your phone with the stock 2.17 update. When you are completed, boot back into bootloader and unlock your phone again using the HTC Unlock method. From there, you can flash any ROM with a 2.17 base and should be fine, but remember do a backup and to wipe first.
Thanks doeboy711!
I'm not too impressed with TWRP2 as it wasn't completely wiping things when it should have been so I recommend the older TWRP 1.1 (recovery). Also since you have hboot 1.5 you'll probably find Flash Image GUI a little easier to use for flashing kernels. If you didn't flash the right kernel that might be why your radio is not working. You can find flash image gui Here. It's pretty self explanatory. Before you flash a new rom, open Flash image gui, select kernel, browse to the rom. Let it do it's thing and when it prompts you to reboot to recovery, flash your rom like normal.
Actually, do I want to flash the RUU since it's still S-ON?
Do you have a HBoot 1.5? If so, that is the only way to upgrade to the new 2.17 base, which is the base of all the new ROM's. Just ensure that you lock the bootloader before you run the RUU or it will fail. It won't brick your device, but you will have to run it twice, learned the hard way here lol. Just pull your battery and boot into bootloader, lock it and then run the RUU if you did run it while it was unlocked still.
If you have a lower Hboot and can gain S-off, then no, don't run the RUU. You should be able to get S-off and flash anything you want at anytime.
Not sure how I'm supposed to get the RUU without a premium account at filefactory
Which hboot are you on? 1.4 or 1.5?
Sorry, hboot 1.50

Well you will loose everything once you run the RUU, so if you want to back up apps it's up to you. The RUU will wipe everything for you though, so don't worry about that.
I've got it back to normal. Thanks for your help.
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

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...

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

HBOOT-1.93.0002

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.

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,
I've tried updating to ICS but got the black screen with the blue android icon and the triangle.
From searching the web I got mixed answers, some said that it may be because I've changed to CWM.
I'm still s-on.
What do I need to do in order for the update to work?
Thank you !!!:good:
Revert back to stock.

You could change recoveries to 4ext (see my signature) since that is what people think the problem might be. Also, ICS does not seem to work well with S-On from what I've seen in these forums, so you may want to get S-Off.
thanks but..
First of all thanks to both of you for answering..
I'm a bit new at this so a couple of questions -
I didn't change roms, all I did was to unlock the bootloader (using HTCDEV) replace the recovery and get root. This means that I'm on stock Rom no?
Does changing the recovery to 4EXT will help? cause it's doesn't seem logical that changing to a different recovery will help me install the official OTA update..
Oh and I'm using the GSM version if that matters..
Again, thanks!

To install official updates you need stock htc recovery.... Since you have Cwm it won't work.. Flash stock htc recovery using fast boot then take the ota update and everything will be fine.
I'm aware that this may seem like a dumb question, but where do I get the stock recovery from?
(I know that fast boot is that file that I have on my computer, the one that i used to flash CWM recovery)
Thanks!!

if you have unlocked your bootloader via htvdev way why not try a custom rom? Lots of Roms out there. I'm currently on Virtuous Eclipse. Sense 4.0 is the best!
*****Disclaimer: As always, though there is little risk in doing this, if you turn your device into a building material (brick), blow it up, or it vanishes in thin air, I will not be responsible*****
****IF YOU HAVE AN UNBRANDED aka ASIA VERSION aka Factory Unlocked HTC AMAZE, PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE THREAD BEFORE DOING ANYTHING TO YOUR PHONE. MAKE SURE TO READ THE FIRST & SECOND POST****
***The following is a brief description of the very common scenario that most new users with the Unbranded unit have encountered lately. Please read it now so you can hopefully avoid going through it in the future***
**SO, you got yourself an HTC AMAZE 4G that is UNBRANDED (also referred to as INTERNATIONAL VERSION, ASIA VERSION, Carrier-free, or Factory Unlocked) Congratulations! And welcome to our forum..
Now, if you haven't noticed yet, the Unbranded Amaze comes with stock Gingerbread (GB) as the Android OS. So you look and see that IceCreamSandwich (ICS) was officially released by HTC for the amaze. SO of course you go straight to settings>about phone>update, your so excited to get ICS on your new Amaze, THEN BAM!! Your phone says everything is currently up to date. But how? GUESS WHAT, THERE IS NO OFFICIAL ICS BUILD FOR THE UNBRANDED AMAZE.. Soo THEN you maybe do a little research and learn you can manually flash an ICS RUU to your phone, you just need to find the RUU for your carrier.. BUT wait, oh no, you don't have a Carrier so there is no RUU. THIS is when most people make a common MISTAKE. They decide to Unlock the bootloader an their phone, flash a Custom Recovery, and then flash a custom ICS Rom and think it will be Fine, but when they try to turn on the phone it just get's stuck on the boot logo.. Now begins the freaking out, the obsessive duplicate thread creating, such as "HELP Trying to get ICS on my unbranded Amaze" or "Flashed Custom ICS rom on my Unbranded Amaze running GB 2.3 now phone is stuck on boot logo IF YOUR PHONE IS ON GB, YOU CAN NOT FLASH A CUSTOM ICS ROM UNTIL YOU HAVE FLASHED THE ICS RUU OR FIRMWARE PACKAGE. UNFORTUNATELY, YOU CAN NOT FLASH AN ICS RUU ON AN UNBRANDED AMAZE UNTIL YOU HAVE FOLLOWED THE STEPS IN THE GUIDE BELOW!
ENJOY**
*[GUIDE] Now, i will explain step-by-step how to MANUALLY upgrade from GB to ICS on an UNBRANDED Amaze, and hopefully avoid the headache others are facing.
1.) Make sure you have required HTC drivers installed
2.) Download Hasoon's All-In-One Toolkit
3.) Unlock your bootloader through htcdev.com (hasoon's toolkit can help)
4.) Now perform S-Off. You have to be on Stock Ruu to perform S-OFF, so best to do it now while you are still on stock
5.) Once you successfully S-OFF your device, you will then need to SuperCID your device
6.) When your device is S-Off and has SuperCID, you can then download this Amaze_ICS_RUU ..Rename the RUU to PH85IMG.zip and place it on the root of your EXTERNAL SDcard. Once this file is on the SDcard, do a battery pull, then turn the device back on while holding down the VOLUME DOWN button. it will prompt you to install, select yes and YAY, you will now be on ICS.
7.) Take the PH85IMG of the RUU off of your SDcard, and then put this PH85IMG of HBOOT on to the SDcard. Repeat the same instructions as step 6 to flash this IMG.
8.) Congratulations, you now have stock ICS. If you would like to flash custom ICS or JB roms, continue with steps 9 & 10
9.) Finally, Use Hasoon's toolkit to, Flash 4EXT Recovery AND
10.) Then to flash supersu.zip to gain root (also done using hasoons toolkit)
OH AND ALSO, you weren't thinking about creating a new thread asking anything about this topic were you? I hope not, seeing as all these people already did. these were all found only on pages 1-6!!! I didnt even have to use the search feature...

If you have already made the mistake of unlocking and trying to flash an ICS rom while still on GB, you can do the following to get back to GB and have a working device.
ATTENTION - Before continuing past this point, You must first have 4ext installed as your recovery if the device is S-Off.(you can use hasoons AIO toolkit to do this.) Once you have 4ext flashed, boot into recovery and in the settings Enable Smartflash
1) Download this GB rom
2) Next, Place the the downloaded file on your sd card.
3) Now Boot into 4ext recovery (battery pull, then start phone while holding down the power+VolumeDown buttons simultaneously).
4) Once in recovery, go to the Wipe/Format section and select "Format all partitions except SDcard"
5) Finally, after formating completes, verify that you have SmartFlash enabled & then flash the Rom you just downloaded from above..
Once this is complete, you should once again have a working device.
Please use this thread for any related questions/comments you may have so we can try and keep the forums a little more organized and clean. THANK YOU

Done the Mistake? now what to do?
Hi there,
I have done the same mistake that is mentioned in the start of this post. I have unlocked the bootloader. Flashed the custom 4EXT recovery and without doing the S-OFF thing (pardon me for doing this) but i tried to install the CM 10 ruby NIGHLTY rom. At first my mobile (Htc Amaze 4G) stuck during boot at the white htc screen. I then read many posts but none of them help as i am totally a newbee on this issue. Then I some who came to know that I must have not wiped out the previous data due to which this problem has occurred. So i went to wipe through the recovery and wiped Cache, Delvik Cache, performed system wipe and finally the factory reset. Then i rebooted the phone in recovery mode and flashed the CM10 rom. To my surprise it installed completely and when i rebooted the phone it booted up quite normally with Cyanogen mod ROM but stuck into a boot start loop. Moreover the gsm did not work on it. Please Help from here when i dont have my stock ROM in back up so really need you help please.

Please refer to post 2 to make your device useable again. You can not use any ICS Rom or higher if your device is still on GB. Period. No other solutions, no workarounds. You must first flash an official ICS RUU to update the firmware.

Please refer to post 2 to make your device useable again. You can not use any ICS Rom or higher if your device is still on GB. Period. No other solutions, no workarounds. You must first flash an official ICS RUU to update the firmware.

Hi, aj_2423,
I have followed the instructions that you gave in post # 2. I have 4EXT as my custom recovery. I have SMART EXT FLASH enabled but when i tried to use the command "format all partitions (except sdcard)" i noticed that there is an error which said
"Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!
Skipping format...
Data wipe complete.
All partitions formatted."
I just want to ask that is this normal or i have to do something else to remove this problem.
Best Regards

Hi the first thing you should do is take some time and READ the steps above first. Also i think youtube has videos you can watch.
Just type in 'htc amaze root' or something.
Dont worry if its not "your type" of amaze...they are all the same except fr the ruu and radios, just become familiar.
Build some confidence come back and follow the steps.
Honestly its not that hard and once you are comfortable its easy actually. Read through some of the other steps even though it doesnt relate to your type of amaze. Im sure aj wil chime in but read up first!!! Hasoons kit really simplifies stuff.
Again reas EVEYTHING THROUGH FIRST lol youll save your self hadaches later.

****IF YOU HAVE AN UNBRANDED aka ASIA VERSION aka Factory Unlocked HTC AMAZE, PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE THREAD BEFORE DOING ANYTHING TO YOUR PHONE. MAKE SURE TO READ THE FIRST & SECOND POST****
***The following is a brief description of the very common scenario that most new users with the Unbranded unit have encountered lately. Please read it now so you can hopefully avoid going through it in the future***
**SO, you got yourself an HTC AMAZE 4G that is UNBRANDED (also referred to as INTERNATIONAL VERSION, ASIA VERSION, Carrier-free, or Factory Unlocked) Congratulations! And welcome to our forum..
Now, if you haven't noticed yet, the Unbranded Amaze comes with stock Gingerbread (GB) as the Android OS. So you look and see that IceCreamSandwich (ICS) was officially released by HTC for the amaze. SO of course you go straight to settings>about phone>update, your so excited to get ICS on your new Amaze, THEN BAM!! Your phone says everything is currently up to date. But how? GUESS WHAT, THERE IS NO OFFICIAL ICS BUILD FOR THE UNBRANDED AMAZE.. Soo THEN you maybe do a little research and learn you can manually flash an ICS RUU to your phone, you just need to find the RUU for your carrier.. BUT wait, oh no, you don't have a Carrier so there is no RUU. THIS is when most people make a common MISTAKE. They decide to Unlock the bootloader an their phone, flash a Custom Recovery, and then flash a custom ICS Rom and think it will be Fine, but when they try to turn on the phone it just get's stuck on the boot logo.. Now begins the freaking out, the obsessive duplicate thread creating, such as "HELP Trying to get ICS on my unbranded Amaze" or "Flashed Custom ICS rom on my Unbranded Amaze running GB 2.3 now phone is stuck on boot logo IF YOUR PHONE IS ON GB, YOU CAN NOT FLASH A CUSTOM ICS ROM UNTIL YOU HAVE FLASHED THE ICS RUU OR FIRMWARE PACKAGE. UNFORTUNATELY, YOU CAN NOT FLASH AN ICS RUU ON AN UNBRANDED AMAZE UNTIL YOU HAVE FOLLOWED THE STEPS IN THE GUIDE BELOW!
ENJOY**
*[GUIDE] Now, i will explain step-by-step how to MANUALLY upgrade from GB to ICS on an UNBRANDED Amaze, and hopefully avoid the headache others are facing.
1.) Make sure you have required HTC drivers installed
2.) Download Hasoon's All-In-One Toolkit
3.) Unlock your bootloader through htcdev.com (hasoon's toolkit can help)
4.) You have to be on Stock Ruu to perform S-OFF, so best to do it now while you are still on stock
5.) Once you successfully S-OFF your device, you will then need to SuperCID your device
6.) When your device is S-Off and has SuperCID, you can then download this Amaze_ICS_RUU ..Rename the RUU to PH85IMG.zip and place it on the root of your EXTERNAL SDcard. Once this file is on the SDcard, do a battery pull, then turn the device back on while holding down the VOLUME DOWN button. it will prompt you to install, select yes and YAY, you will now be on ICS.
7.) Take the PH85IMG of the RUU off of your SDcard, and then put this PH85IMG of HBOOT on to the SDcard. Repeat the same instructions as step 6 to flash this IMG.
7.) Finally, Use Hasoon's toolkit to, Flash 4EXT Recovery. Then to flash supersu.zip to gain root.
8.) Now you have stock ics and can keep as is, or you can fflash a custom ICS rom /QUOTE]
I am running windows 7 64 bit version but the website for doing S-OFF procedure states that they only support windows 32 bit versions. So now what i understand from here that the only solution for me to get the S-OFF is to install the windows 32 bit version and then do the process. Please tell me is there any other solution possible?

I recently bought a htc one x plus and as the person as i am, i quickly unlocked the bootloader, installed a custom recovery (ClockworkMod recovery) and kernel. But then i tried to flash a AOKP Jelly Bean 4.2.1 Custom ROM and after flashing it, it would just hang around the AOKP boot logo (a horse head with rotating rings around it). Then, without thinking, i relocked the bootloader (with a custom rom) to send it for warranty. Now, it would only go to the bootloader screen. After going through a few forums, i found out that this could be repaired by using the correct ruu for my device but they all say that i have to flash a stock recovery and boot.img before relocking the bootloader in order for the ruu to work. So my question is can i reunlock my bootloader to flash the stock recovery and boot.img without bricking the device and can flashing the correct ruu repair my phone. Please reply, i'm so desperate. The htc guys wanted me to pay $400 just to repair it and since i rooted the phone, warranty does not cover it.

You can unlock the boot again if you kept the code you received when you did it the 1st time round. Once you have unlocked it you can then flash any Rom. Did you make a nand backup before installing the custom Rom? If you did you can reinstall the custom recovery and restore the phone to stock.
I currently run the viper 3.4.2 rom, you could also install this after installing the custom recovery.

Hi Sharveen,
Please do youself a favor, and don't use the CWM Recovery, this Recovery is not adapted for this phone, I strongly suggest that you install TWRP Recovery, the latter is way more complete and rigorously tested on the HTC One X+.
TIP : Please read, read, read as much as you can before doing any changes to your phone, that can save you lots of problem.
First make sure your SDK tool (adb) is correctly installed and also the HTC's drivers. (There is a link for a tutorial in my signature.)
Download the correspondent recovery for your phone International OR AT&T/Telus (N.B. Links are available in the Sticky FAQ)
Flash the Recovery.
Clear Cache
Reboot in Recovery
DO A COMPLETE BACKUP OF YOUR ACTUAL ROM. BE SURE TO KEEP IT IN A SAFE PLACE
Install your correspondent version of any ROM.zip you want that is already on your storage. (Otherwise,Sideload a ROM to be able to flash one inRecovery)
Flash the boot.img of your desired ROM
Clear Cache Again
Reboot
Should work
Thank you soo much for replying and no, i did not make a nandroid backup when i tried to flash the rom. So can flashing a correct ruu repair my phone and hopefully get it back to stock rom...
Is your SDK/ADB tool correctly installed?

Yess ruu will bribg back your phone to stock....it will restore everythings

If you want to flash a RUU you need to install the original Recovery then flashing the correspondent RUU. Just let us know what is your preference, but as far as I am concern, your original backup wasn't made too bad, but you can still install a modded ROM.
This is gonna be your call for the continuity.

You could try searching the forum to see if someone has a nand backup for your phone. Only problem with ruu's is they haven't released the more up to date ones, so if your phone had the latest ota I doubt you will be able to use the ruu method. Personally I would use a custom Rom until you can find a nand for your phone.

The original recovery will be contained in the %temp% folder created by the ruu when opened but do i have to flash the boot.img which is also contained in the folder and also most of the forums says that you have to flash the boot.img after flashing the recovery while some says that you could relock the bootloader and flash the ruu after flashing the recovery only. So in my situation, do i have to flash the boot.img or not.

if you unlock your phone, you can only "relock" it, it will not become "locked" forever, even use RUU program

I guess you have flashed older version then your radio and unlit file..
Try to download latest version of the ROM.
