I need help. Normally I never ask questions I perfer to scan the forum looking for answers but this is my first question.
So we all know by now there is a leaked ICS Rom for the HTC Amaze. Well I downloaded the RUU put it at the root of the external SD and loaded it in hboot. Hboot starts the normal routine of looking for images to flash and dismissing all the missing ones. When it comes to PH85IMG it will stop the sidebar will take a minute to slowly load to full and the following result would say:
Loading...[PH85IMG.zip]
Wrong zipped image!
then it will finish the routine and essentually dismiss. After that all I can do is return to normal use
Phone info:
T-mobile HTC Amaze 4G rooted S-ON
Android 2.3.7/ Sense 3.5
Faux's v009 Kernal
thanks kindly for the help developers.

I think the only way for someone S-on to install this update is to return the phone back to stock. you have to revert your bootloader back to locked and make the phone stock again.
In that case I guess it's about time to reach S-OFF. To those reading I'll give the result.

I just went through the whole s-off procedure and was able to flash the image after that. I didn't revert back to stock. I guess that was my problem too, but everything is working fine with ICS so far.
I relocked the bootloader and was able to get ICS.
kinda sad though im about to root it just to get rid of the bloat apps . Umm I hope others can use this as guide.
Please help!!! cannot flash ics rue
Hey! I have a similar problem. I have relocked the boot loader, NO root, S-ON... basically the only thing I did was unlocking and relocking the bootloader.
I copied the zip file in the ext-sd folder. In Hboot mode it scans the sdcard but a "NO image or wrong zip image" appears... So I reboot normally....
Now a strange thing happens and the zip file i copied onto the sdcard is 0Kb!!!! I tried several times... can sameone help me?
BTW I have a external sd card intalled (actually is one form another phone formatted as fat 32) + the internal memory.
thanks!

Make sure the zip you have is good and make sure the SD card is good. strange that you place a 487mb file and it changes to 0kb on its own. try formatting the
SD and try again or try using a different one.
I would re-copy the zip to your sd card again.

Maybe I'm just terrible at searching, but I've looked on this site, Google, and some other Android site, but haven't found an answer that works. Basically I regret rooting my phone... but that isn't the whole issue...
So I rooted yesterday. I have an HTC Evo 3d GSM HBOOT 1.49.0008 (berfore my root). I got ROM Manager and made a backup of my rom giving it a custom name. From here I went and downloaded High ROM 3D v1.1.
I decided I didn't like that rom so I tryed to restore my backup rom... md5 mismatch... or some crap like that. I tried this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=976453
I kept getting "invalid command" or some crap like that...
All I want right now is to somehow go back to my factory settings un-rooted... Is this possible, or am I screwed?
Hopefully I'm not making a duplicate thread... If I am I'm sorry, I honestly did search for a good couple hours.
Thanks for any help!

Search isn't everyone's friend, its not mine. You need to run an ruu.exe, I don't know where to find a gsm one, I'm cdma. But I've gone back to stock a few times, just relock the device and run the ruu from unlit and you should be good.
@jwolf1: That says CDMA. MY Evo 3d is GSM.

If that ruu is a .exe file then you need to go to hboot, relock, run ruu.exe from the computer while still in hboot. If its a .zip then you'll have to extract the images and flash them one at a time from fastboot.
Okay! Sweet! Once I can actually download the file I'll do that!
Once I finish installing the file will I still be rooted?
Will it be safe to do a factory reset at that time?
I just wanna start from a clean slate.
Somewhat of an off topic question... but... Is it safe to delete EVERYTHING off my SD card? Because I know that there is alot of junk that has been left over from random apps haha!

No you won't be rooted after an ruu.
Yes, its safe to factory reset, but the ruu will do that for you.
Yes, its safe to wipe the sd, just do it before you run the ruu.
are you downloading the file phone or a desktop
Alright! Why do I need to wipe the SD before I run the RUU?

You could do it after the ruu but it'll erase android secure folder and a couple of others that the ruu puts on there. It'll just have to rebuild those folders when you reboot.

It was doing that to me the other night, I tried the download from my phone and it worked.
I managed to get a slot!
The file I'm downloading is an .exe.
Will I need to have USB debugging enabled, and fastboot disabled to do this? I'll also need to have disk mode enabled correct?
I read something about a PG86IMG.zip file. Will I need that too?

I believe you need USB debugging to do adb commands. Turn it on just in case. You're getting the .exe so just hold volume down and power with the phone off, select fastboot, plug in USB to phone and comp, type fastboot OEM lock, it should reboot you back to hboot and it'll say relocked with a security warning under the word relocked, don't reboot. Now just start the ruu.exe in windows and follow the prompts. That's it.
Edit.... Just re read the op and noticed your hboot version. I guess you used revolutionary and not htcdev. I'm not sure about how to s-on, so the fastboot OEM lock probably won't work. Maybe someone that knows about that will chime in.
Hi,
I am new here and this is my first post so forgive me if starting a new thread for this topic was wrong but I found my own situation slightly different from the others here who had the same problem.
I have a gsm unlocked rezound and was trying to get rid of the unknown sim error message at lock screen. I followed the steps mentioned on this thread --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1882355. I rooted the phone, downloaded the apk. Deleted the .odex file and replaced the existing apk with the downloaded one and rebooted. Now, I am stuck at the lock screen with no icons. But for the other people who faced similiar issue, they were able to open the home screen. I can't. I can see pop ups for sms/mail. I get ring when a call comes in but I cant pick. I tried hard reset. Tried booting without sim/sd card. Still no luck. I tried connecting the phone to my pc but now my pc wont recognise the phone when its connected. I can see icon on top of the phone which says USB connected and I also see sync icon, but it will not go any further. I dont know how to get into the phone's menu now.
I may have bitten more than I can chew, silly me :crying:
If you guys can help me in any way, I would appreciate that a lot.
OS : 4.0.3 ICS Running HTC Sense 3.6.
A quick fix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2017932
Flash my debloater, choosing the Sense option(will be brought to a widget removal screen if you don' use them all) & AOSP lockscreen. Disadvantage to that though, you will have to unlock to see the caller id when it rings.

Thank you for the quick response. I have downloaded the file. I know this sounds stupid but I am a real rookie. I don't know how to do the flashing or how to get to the AOSP lock screen. If you could guide me through the process or maybe give me a link where I can learn it myself, it would be great.
Essentially since you already have rooted, you will(should) also have a custom recovery (TWRP, AmonRa, CWM). Install it as you would a regular rom but without any wipes until after flash of the zip. Dependent on which recovery you will want to look up their FAQ/QnA on how to wipe dalvik/cache.
Once you get inside the script, you will see what I meant by "Choose Sense & AOSP Lockscreen".

Yes the phone was rooted, but I used a rooting software from google apps from the phone. After I downloaded that app, it rooted the phone and brought in an extra icon. I remember it as SU root something, but I didnt do it from the pc. So I dont have any recovery on the pc. I used to sync the phone with htc sync. Unfortunately, right now, my pc wont recognise the phone. I tried root explorer for android from pc, it wont recognise the device. HTC sync too will not. But my phone seems to know when a USB is connected, it brings the usb icon on top but thats about it. ((
Ok, best suggestion at this point is to follow the instruction in the OP for installing TWRP in the Rezound development section.

Thank you for the help buddy. I am glad you said its not. I dont know what I would have done if it had. This is my first android phone and I took it a week back. I was beginning to miss my iPhone . Unfortunately the link you provided wont help me because I have no way of restarting phone other than by removing battery. Even when in fastboot, the pc does not recognise the device even when device shows fastboot usb. I doubt if I can get past step 1 in that link.
I found that I am on Vigor H Boot 2.27.000 and Radio 2.22.10.0803r with S-ON. I tried to turn S-Off after reading and educating myself on android from this forum till now. But even to S-Off, I need to be able to enable USB in debug mode which I am not able to. Any suggestions ?
Device still not fixed
hi,
I took the phone to a couple of places to check if it can be fixed, No one was able to fix it thus far, Any other advice or suggestions to fix this would be great. Any admins/mods have something to add ? Please, I am desperate to fix this phone. Anyway of doing this ?
Have you tried flashing a different rom?
If he's S-on and locked, he can simply flash the latest RUU can't he(just to get the phone working again). From there someone can help him set up adb, and s-off.

From what they posted, somehow they don't have a custom recovery even though they are rooted?
Can you put a PH98IMG.zip file of a recovery (either Amon Ra or TWRP) on your SD card and flash it in hboot? Then flash a custom ROM the same way from recovery.
You can take the SD card out and mount it on your pc and use your pc to copy over the recovery PH98IMG.zip file.
And oh yeah, I see what Obaterista... was saying. You should be able to flash the latest RUU from hboot. Here's a link for it:

Sooo, playing with rooting, been rooted for a couple days, flashed viperlte rom and had problems and decided to take it back to stock for now. Gonna be on the road and can't be 'experimenting'...attempted to go back to stock, by using the original RUU, and as I understood it, I needed to lock the phone back first. Didn't make sense as I was wondering how I could flash a Rom if it was locked back. After locking, when trying to go to recovery, it just comes back to fastboot. I can't get into the main phone--it boots to a screen, but no buttons work, although if i press volume up/down it shows it on the screen. What have I done?! I'll admit being a newb to phones, so please, some guru help me get back to something

Thank you for the response. Tried this, it loaded the zip, then went to 'checking' and after that, back to the bootloader. Never asked me if I wanted to proceed. When rebooted it brought me back to where I was, a phone which appears to be up--clock works, wifi is on, but I can't do anything. I feel pretty confident the img is good. Thoughts?

XP PC, formatted fat32, put it on root...just tried a different ruu, searched the exact string, the 2.0... and got it from a xda forum member, so I feel confident in the ruu. It did the same thing, loaded it, checked it for about 2 mins, then returned me to the loader. I noticed SECURITY WARNING is gone from bootloader now, FYI. What else can we try?

Yes, I relocked from the bootloader, as I guess i misunderstood that I needed to do that before flashing the ruu...I was actually on one of the custom roms when I locked it

I have a replacement phone from T-Mobile that's not getting the update. I have the file. Just need to know where to rename it UPDATE.ZIP so i can install it on Recovery. Anyone?
// Tapatalk HD for Android - Nexus 7 //
Yeah, I'm pretty sure you can do that. Just make sure your bootloader is locked. If it doesn't work, try doing it from the Amaze All In One Kit v5.1 in the Development section.
I don't see any option in Hasoon's kit (screenshot in post 1) for installing an OTA update. Am I missing something?
Bootloader doesn't have to be relocked, BTW, I just updated another Amaze that had it downloaded and ready to install with the bootloader unlocked. Stock recovery image is needed.
Problem is knowing what folder to put the OTA in ... /sdcard/ ? /media/ ? I presume (could be wrong) that the OTA zip file is renamed UPDATE.ZIP and copied somewhere. Looking for some first hand knowledge....

Leave the zip with its original name and put it in the internal sd card in the download folder. That's where it put it when it was pushed to my phone.

Did you anyhow try - renaming that 30MB OTA into PH85IMG.ZIP and placing it on your external sd card, then rebooting into Bootloader? And what?

On my defective handset, I determined that you can apply the update with the bootloader unlocked, but you DO need to have stock recovery. The recovery image is in firmware.zip inside the OTA update zip file. Seems to require *NIX to unzip, old WinZIP on Windows reported it corrupted.

It reads the file, there's a little vertical gas gauge that fills up on the upper right of the screen, then ... nothing. Whut next?
Just an update for those who find this thread. HTC tech support assure me that putting the OTA update in the root of the external SD card (microSDHC) renamed to PH85IMG.ZIP should work. But it never did. I just left the phone on for 10 days, it never automagically alerted me to the update (with regular checks selected/enabled), but a few mornings ago I tapped "Check now" and it found it. Downloaded, installed, etc.
After unlocking again I found that I could boot from CWM recovery externally, make a nandroid backup, etc. So now I can play and restore the system to stock ... after determining if the OTA fixes anything for me.
BIG THANKS to those trying to help. I don't think your suggestions were at fault (though telling me to flash it to an RUU ROM when it was already 100% stock makes no self-evident sense to me), I think HTC hboot, fastboot, and stock recovery are eccentric and faulty.[1] I still learned some tricks and skills from you.... I'm getting better at fastboot and adb on the command line, and understanding how the Android device architecture works.
[1] HTC's own tech support said what I was doing would succeed, but it didn't. Either their information is FU, or the Amaze is FU.
I know this has been posted before, but my particular circumstance after reading through many threads has not been covered (as far as i know). I normally flash A LOT of new roms because i'm a bit of a ROM junkie and am always interested in all of you wonderful developers creations. So after flashing may 1000th rom, CM10.1, many times and getting bootloops, i decided to give up and restore the fully functional CM10 I was using prior. Well, after MANY numerous ways of restoring my back up, others roms, stock OEM RUU's/Zips, and bootloader NOTHING will get my phone to get past the WHITE HTC LOGO SCREEN!!!
I at one point couldn't access or mount my internal SD, o kept getting an error message so I connected it to windows and it was recognized and windows prompted me to format the internal SD card because it was "corrupted", so I did and tried flashing again through all the above methods and STILL NOTHING. Now every time i boot into recovery, it sometimes takes 50+ seconds to load or if it does load quicker it says i'm in "safe mode" or "enable 4EXT'S ADVANCED SETTINGS". I'm sorry that this si lengthy, but i'm stumped. Can anyone help me????
When I was on evervolv all my partitions were corrupted according to 4ext. No rom would flash. The only way I was able to recover was to downgrade to an official T-Mobile GB RUU. Once I did that everything was fine and dandy again. Hopefully if you do the same it works for you.
Thank you, I am going to try this today and see if it helps. Did you just put the RUU on the root of the external SD or was it and exe file??
Thanks again for your help!!!

No the ruu should be a zip file not an exe. The ruu's I used are for T-Mobile.
Since your S-Off you should be able to do downgrade and upgrade at will. Sounds like your partitions are messed up. Also make sure your SuperCID as well.
Downgrade your amaze to a GB RUU 1.43.531.3
Check MD5 SUMS
Rename it to PH85IMG.zip
Place on your External SD CARD
Reboot phone into bootloader
Let Phone find update and apply update
Let Phone reboot
If that worked and your able to use your phone
Repeat Steps 1 - 8 and use ICS RUU 2.14.531.3 instead of the GB RUU.
You can't flash an ICS Rom if your firmware is still GB.
Also if you want to get the latest update from T-Mobile that address wifi calling and updates your Firmware and Radio for better battery life and reception follow my guide here

I am having the exact problem as OP but I am S-on, what extra steps do I need to take? Thanks for your help.
EDIT: Since I can't allegedly go backwards from JB/ICS to GB when S-on, the only solution I was able to arrive to on my own accord was to format the internal SD in 4ext. Once I did that 4ext was able to see both internal and ext sd and I was able to flash to my heart's content. I think it was a misaligned partition or something. Fortunately everything on the internal SD was backed up already but in the future is there an easier way to do this without formatting sdcard? I re-locked my phone and tried to flash the latest T-Mobile Stock ICS RUU by renaming it to PH85IMG.zip and letting the bootloader flash it but I still got stuck at the white HTC screen at boot.

ive got the same thing going on, mine is s-on boot loader unlocked. i dont have super cid. ive tried the stock ruu t-moblie gb. in boot loader it reads it but afterwards nothing. ive even tried relocking the bootloader and trying that way, that way is a little differnt. if you relock bootloader then it will force itself in fastboot every time you try to turn it on or plug usb in from your pc. but you cant get into 4ext recovery.fastboot will read that ph85img.zip. and will try to update, but it fail and say cid incorect. but if you unlock your bootloader agein then your can get back into 4ext, but then your just at square one agein. idk im sumped. if any one can help that would be a life saver.

You have 2 options here
1. check your cid version download the appropriate ruu for it I've posted a unbranded version ruu in krooks thread and run it while the bootloader is locked..
2. Go to 4ext download a FLASHABLE ROM a gb rom NOT a ruu and flash it from 4ext and turn on smart flash before doing it ...
Either way you get a working device

Still no luck in getting past the splash screen
Well it's been a while since I've posted back on this thread, but I have tried everything that was suggested and i STILL can't get the phone to boot past the HTC Splash screen. I tried flashing many different RUU zips (all renamed PH85IMG) as well as custom ROMS (gingerbread and ICS based) and nothing gets the phone to boot up! They install, but after the phone reboots it's still a no-go. I just don't know what to do anymore. The only thing i can think of is my bootloader is still unlocked, could that have anything to do with this? Like I said earlier my phone is S-ON which makes things more difficult. I'm really hopeless for a solution.
I even mounted the internal and external SD's to the computer and reformatted them. Still doesn't help. Also, my recovery, which is 4EXT, always says i'm in "safe mode" and i have to do something to put it in advanced mode? Please someone help!:crying:
