Hi I have a attic that has a data problem and am going to return it to warranty, I want to try out 2.3.4 but you need to unlocked the bootloader, but is there a way to relock it so I can still have it under warranty. Also I have been trying to flash the 1.26 SBF file from www.bandinnovations.com and everytime I try to unzip it says broken something or other. Is there another link to try? Thanks

Look for 1.26 in the dev section
They probably won't even check. I warranted mine yesterday because my fingerprint scanner was peeling. I was rooted with gingerblur, and couldn't even do a factory reset, so I had to go into Android Recovery and wipe data from there, but the rep didn't even ask what I was doing, or anything. DSCs (Device Support Centers) are usually franchise stores; in other words, they don't really care too much, just there for their $8/hr.

No way to relock after unlocking the bootloader. It's a hardware lock/unlock, not software.
It may be spotted at AT&T store or service center. If they turn the phone on the first thing they will see is "unlocked" in the upper left corner. Per what it says when you unlock your phone, this "MAY" void your warranty. Don't listen to advice saying they won't care at the service center. The one where I live does everything they can to get your phone back working before replacing it. Been there a couple of times.
You can remove the "unlocked" in the boot screen by flashing back to 4.1.26, 4.1.57, etc., but the phone is still unlocked, it just won't say unlocked anymore unless you reflash the unlock, after which it will be on the boot screen again.
I would say if you are returning it, don't unlock the bootloader.
After numerous flashing to get my phone back, previously flash wrong pudding
file and had to flash electrify rom just to get my phone started which it did,
now my phone is USCellular and won't activate on sprint, help please.
[A]Search the forums, the answer lies in them.
What u did explain from start.

Was stock rooted photon 4G on sprint wanted to unlock bootloader and I flashed
235pudding. From then on I could not flash any sbf (stock) but finally I flash electrify sbf just to get something going and now phone works but can't get activated on sprint. I tried again to flash sprint sbf but no go, error at the end.
This phone is unbrickable for USCellular but for sprint doesn't take the flash. I guess I gonna try to unlock the bootloader and flash some rom if that works.

I am trying to unroot my htc amaze from telus canada. I have followed the instructions using the all-in-one kit, and when I went to relock my bootloader, I got stuck in the fastboot screen, and when I tried to reboot, it kept getting me back to the same screen. I was able to unlock the bootloader again, and now when I try to access wi-fi, it says error under the wi-fi button in settings!
how do I fix this?

If you have a back up, restore it, but your best call is to download the stock zip file, place it on your sd card root, rename it PH85IMG and boot into the bootloader, should ask you if you wanna update, just say yes and let it restore everything to stock, then relock the bootloader, though locking the bootloader isn't exactly necessary.
Ok, where do I find the stock rom? also, now when I slide the cirle to unlock my phone, a windows pops up saying sorry, HTC Sense has stopped unexpectedly, would you like to tell htc?

Here is the stock file: http://d-h.st/qah
After installing that, everything will be fine.
Thank you...will do after I nap. Just to make sure, what is the root dir?

Just put it directly on the sd card, not in any folders, rename the file to PH85IMG.
Thanks for all the help. ok, so I have done that, and rebooted into bootloader. It shows a bar at the side that looks like it is installing somehing, or loading, then I reboot back to my phone, and I am still getting the same error.

After the bar loads it just goes back into the phone? No option to install update?
No, there is no option to install. It just goes back to the main fastboot screen. I changed it to a zip file, because it was an exe file, and it didn't see it. The reason I want to unroot is to update to ics!
*frustrated.
If Dark Nightmare gave you an RUU for T-Mobile then it won't work. Be sure its a Telus RUU. Otherwise you need to do a lot more leg work.
Edit...NVM he gave you the right link. Is you phone originally a Telus Phone?

Lol I pay attention.
The question is, did you try the ICS leak by any chance?
Yes, it's a telus phone. I have not tried the ics yet, but that's what I want to install! Lol is there a link for the leaked ics?
Do you think it might be because I used Debloater and Debloater Remover? (was just following the instructions). no matter what I do, I keep getting that error.
Ok, so, I was able to fix that error that kept popping up!
Couple of quick questions before this one is locked up:
Do I need to re-root my phone, if I followed all those steps in the all in one tool kit?
And
Can someone post a link here on how I can install the latest version of ICS on my phone?
Thanks for all the help!

Unless you S-Off, there's no way you're upgrading to ICS until Telus release their version.
I am also a Telus Amaze user.
In this order, you need to:
1)Unlock your bootloader from HTCdev
2) Use Juopunutbear's S-off hack.
3) Flash the T-mobile RUU
4) Flash the ICS rom
5) Insert your SIM, connect to telus under mobile networks, and enter Telus' APN settings.
Be aware though, I can't seem to get MMS to send properly. Anyone have any ideas?

Did you remember to supercid before flashing the tmobile rom? And check the apn settings thread for the apn settings just in case they were incorrect, though in my experience the carrier pushes the settings no matter what device you're using.
I did Super-Cid the device. At least, I wrote 11111111 to CID.
APN is also correct, I set it up manually and my data connection and texting work just fine.
Could this be at all related to Telus using HSPA, while the TMOUS rom only has options to select WCDMA or GSM?
Thanks for the info on installing ICS. I think I will do it once we find out how to get mms working.
Don't hold your breath on the T-mobile version. I'm waiting for the Telus OTA so I can rip it apart and figure out what is going on.
In addition, anyone know of any risks for the few of us Telus users that are running the TMOUS rom? It shouldn't detect Telus' OTA, right?
Tmo using HSPA+ as well, the network set ups are practically the same, Try checking your mms settings in the app itself.
Hi, I recently bought a used HTC EVO 3D, it was running on stock rom and i used a GSM connection on that. on switching on wifi it gave me OTA for ICS 4.0.3 which i installed and was working fine. later i unlocked it rooted it and installed recovery even. tried installing a custom rom and now it is in boot loop. I want to switch back to its stock ROM.
Now the problem is that i live in pakistan and this cell reached here after unlocking network code, i dont have its box so dont know which cellphone service company it was on, there is no print of any service provider on the body of set as well, I just have its IMEI, S/N and P/N thats it.. so can someone guide me that which RUU i should download for my set... i remember when i was unlocking it, it was on HBOOT 1.53. i even dont know its an GSM model or CDMA... but i know i was using GSM on that
Did you make a nandroid backup after installing the custom recovery?
Does the phone have a sim card?
It's probably gsm since you are in Pakistan and since its network unlocked I don't think it matters which ruu you choose as long as its the gsm version. I might be wrong though, I'm cdma.

No that was my mistake that i didnt backup that. yes phone has sim card and it was working previously. I have tried three different RUU but all of them said incorrect RUU version. now i dont know which one to download from that long list
http://www.filefactory.com/file/2hw...00U_11.25.3504.06_M_release_262714_signed.exe
have you tried this RUU? the unbranded phones in pakistan usually come from europe. i think this should work.
relock your bootloader first though
I have the US Cellular version of the photon (electrify). I believe I upgraded to 2.3.5 but I don't fully remember, and proceeded to root. I however did not have my battery fully charged. As I was late to some print on the how-to-root page about keeping the battery at one hundred percent. So now my phone is stuck in Failed to Boot 1 when powered on. When power held with Vol up it goes to Fastboot and when held with Vol down it flashes then shuts back off. SO, my question is... do I need to unlock my bootloader or do I have to flash a stock sbf and all that jazz? Any help on the subject would be greatly appreciated, including locations of any files or drivers I might need or just a simple point to a thread that will tell me everything I need to know.
I've just confirmed it is 2.3.5 locked bootloader stock everything but I did use the OTA update. Is that bad?

Well I've brought the phone back to life using peetrs thread. Now does that mean I have to switch it to Sprint services like it says in his post In order to get it to run on prepaid? It works fine now but I cant get it into recovery or download mode. The screen gets stuck in fastboot protocol, so im assuming Ill have to flash his custom recovery and a sprint sbf radio in order to get Sprint prepaid?

You can just slip in an activated pre paid sim card and it should work. Sprint doesnt have prepaid, if you're trying to use sprint just flash the sprint radios. As far as not being able to get into recovery, what did you do prior?

I flashed the 1FF-Sunfire sbf for stock 2.3.5 and it rebooted the phone but peetr says that you have to add a bootstrap recovery and flash a sprint radio aswell as another rom but I dont need to do anything special to the phone I just had this one and decided to fix it. I thought sim card use was only for outside of the US? I know I can get it on a standard pre-paid plan but i'll have to find out monday if it will work, I mean when a dial a number into the phone it tell's me I need to purchase a pre-paid pin and it gives me different types of plans? My plan is just to go and get it on US cell pre-paid for 65 a month.
