Hey guys, I have a HTC Amaze running Gingerbread....
I have CWM installed, with ***Unlocked*** PVT SHIP S-ON RL, and the H-Boot is 1.90.0004...
I'm wondering how I can install ICS/JB (step by step would be great, as I got confused reading the other threads)
^ Do I need to flash Stock? Is it possible to flash ICS/JB Without S-Off?

The bible linked in my signature has all information you need- this is a link that goes directly how to flash ICS firmware. https://docs.google.com/document/d/...a-E_iDtKBuAC9jc/edit#bookmark=id.d02ccdce695a
Also, use 4ext recovery, it is much better, and if you enable smartflash you can flash kernels without s-off. CWM has not been supported for a while and may have issues like not charging while the phone is off. There is a thread about 4ext in one of the forums if you do a search.
Lastly, I am pretty sure you have to relock your bootloader to flash the RUU as the instructions in the above link should show.

I'm on GB Right now with CWM installed, can't I just used CWM to flash ICS?

No, you have to upgrade to ics via a stock ruu, read that thread properly and not just skim through it.

K. Think I got this..
The steps::
From GB -> ICS
1. Flash Stock ICS RUU
2. Unlock Bootloader again through htcdev
3. Install CWM/4EXT
4. Flash Rom
right?
Do I need to relock the bootloader if I want to flash stock RUU?

You don't need to go back to htcdev to unlock the bootloader after update, the old unlock file works fine.
Is it okay to relock bootloader while on a custom rom?
I don't have the old file from HTCDev, so I need to go through the process again...
Thanks!
Btw, can I Flash kernel using hasoon2000 tool to flash kernel with S-ON?

Yes and yes, just make sure you have the stock ruu on your sd card renamed PH85IMG.

I have the same issue. I bought my wife's phone on eBay. It has GB 2.3.4 with a custom energy rom. I'm trying to find the easiest way to upgrade to ICS via OTA. My thought is to go back to stock ruu and use T-Mobile's OTA upgrade. T-Mobile's Amaze 4G
Hboot says:
***UNLOCKED***
RUBY PVT SHIP S-ON RL
eMMC-boot
I've spent days and hours reading threads after threads. After learning all the terms, I'm ready to try something but I'm scared of bricking the phone.
Can you give me step-by-step instructions on exactly what you did? I think I should go with hasoon2000 toolkit. The phone does not have a stock recovery. The recovery is by Team version 2.0.0. I'm guessing this is what I need to do:
Using hasoon2000 toolkit:
1. go back to stock recovery. Is this necessary?
2. relock bootloader. Can I do this with the toolkit?
3. flash stock GB ruu (or is it the same to flash stock ICS ruu here?)
Since this is my wife's phone, she doesn't really care about custom roms. Do I need to:
3. Unlock Bootloader again through htcdev
4. Install 4EXT
5. Superwipe/Wipe
6. Flash Rom
Is the toolkit the best method or can I simply have the ruu on my SD card and run it through Hboot?
Any advise or tips will be greatly appreciated.
Alright guys, I've searched and searched and I think I have it all down, just want to lay out my steps and get verification.
I'm on T-Mo ICS, not from OTA, flashed myself
Root
S-Off
4-Ext
I'm sending my phone in and need to go back to stock. I think I would prefer to go back to GB so it's just like from factory with no OTA.
- Download the Stock GB RUU from here - HTC Ruby/Amaze 4G Stock ROMs
- The RUU I want is - PH85IMG_Ruby_TMOUS_1.43.531.3_Radio_1.08.550L.19DC _30.66.550L.08D_release_228638_signed
- Following These Directions I connect via ADB and fastboot oem lock This will show it as Re-Locked, correct?
- Reboot
- Flash the stock RUU I got by placing it in the root of my external sd card and renaming it PH85IMG.zip and rebooting to bootloader. Which is Volume Down + Power? Can someone verify that?
- Then I set the security lock by doing "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" - This will change the bootloader to show locked, not re-locked, correct? I thought you had to have root to ADB?
At that point I'm back as if I took the phone out of the box for the first time? 4ext will be replaced with Stock Recovery? Thanks in advance. Like I said, I've searched, but there are many conflicting reports. :good:

In order to flash the factory RUU you need to be either locked or relocked. Then when you flash the factory RUU it should overwrite your hboot which will reset from "relocked" to "locked" then the writesecureflasg function will turn S-ON and you'll be factory.

Guess that does make sense, huh?
But everything looks OK then?
Update - Downloaded and renamed the RUU, rebooted into recovery and installed everything. Bootloader shows locked and I went ahead and did the ICS Update. Everything is back to factory and I'm ready to send it back.

Rick. Like you, I want to bring my T-Mobile HTC Amaze back to stock so that I can upgrade to ICS. The phone was bought on eBay with GB and a custom rom. I'd like to follow your steps but it had a lot of question marks and/or needed confirmation. Will you post exactly what you did?
Your steps seems a lot easier than what I've been researching. Is it really that simple? It makes sense. Everyone else uses hasoon2000 toolkit. Thanks for your time!

You don't need to go back to stock you just need to download the factory ics ruu or a rom that stock like. The hasoon toolkit is more of a guide to help you with the process try to read it an maybe you can rom your cell with a better one!

Thanks for your reply. That makes sense, too. Plus, it'll save me a step. I'm new to Android and got a lot to learn. With the help of xda-developers, I've learned a lot these past three weeks.
From what I've been reading, it's apparent that I need to have S-off before I do any flashing. Like I mentioned, I bought the phone with a custom rom. I'm guessing if it has a custom rom, then it was S-off at one time. If so, I should be able to S-off easily. Since I didn't flash the phone, I'm not sure what program is installed. Your knowledge and experience will be greatly appreciated if you can tell me if I'm able to S-off easily and how. Whenever I go into HBOOT I see the following:
***UNLOCKED***
RUBY PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.90.0008
eMMC-boot
FASTBOOT
<vol up> to previous item
<vol Down> to next item
<Power>
BOOTLOADER
REBOOT
REBOOT BOOTLOADER
POWER DOWN
I'm struggling with all the terminology and methods with flashing. Basically I just wanted root, so I read several different guides and got a rooted status and managed to install the Amon Ra recovery. However my bootloader (also called HBOOT - is that correct?) shows tampered / unlocked now. Basically, I want to flash back to the most current build and try again.
Would the link on the Android Police forums to download RUU 4.03.605.2 be latest Verizon build as if it were fresh out of the box?
I checked on the wiki, but didn't see anything for the Rezound there.
Also, to use this utility, I relock my bootloader using HTCDev and then move this zipped file to my sd card and reboot to the bootloader either using adb or the power + volume down, correct? It will see the zip file and begin flashing or do I run an executable from my PC with the phone connected? I'm not S-Off because I figured that is way above my head at this point.
I appreciate any help anyone can offer.
The tampered just means you have a custom recovery like Amon Ra installed.

If I want to load that RUU, do I have to relock my bootloader? Will I be able to load the file from the Android Police forum without being S-OFF since I've rooted and loaded a recovery?

Having S-OFF negates the need to relock your bootloader.
You should be able to flash the "RUU" zip file with your phone in its current condition.
If you do some research in this section in the S-OFF threads, you'll get some good info about not re locking after s-off.
Re-locking is only necessary if you don't have s-off.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
to reinstall the RUU, first make sure you have fastboot on your PC and your phone is in the fastboot menu of the bootloader and connected to your PC. It should say "fastboot USB". (If you don't have the HTC drivers installed, download HTC Sync 3.0 and that should install it. I haven't gotten it to work on Windows 8 so if you use Windows 8 use these drivers)
Open a command prompt, change the directory to where your fastboot.exe is (example: cd c:\fastboot_directory). Type in 'fastboot oem lock'. Your phone will restart, then boot up. Turn it off, reboot to the bootloader and make sure it says *RELOCKED* on the top. Then, go back to fastboot and in your cmd window, type in 'fastboot oem rebootRUU'. Your phone will reboot and show a black screen with a grey HTC logo. Copy the RUU (doesn't matter if it's named PH98IMG.zip or something else) into the same folder as fastboot.exe and type in 'fastboot flash zip ruu_zip_name.zip' (obviously replacing ruu_zip_name.zip with the zip's actual name). The terminal will start sending the zip and details will be displayed on your computer screen. Your phone will also have a progress bar. Once the terminal on your computer says it's finished, you can reboot your phone.
I am currently S-On, unlocked, running Newts One XXX with the Global OTA (4.03.605) Sense 4 Kernel. I would now like to get the 4.03.605.2 firmware installed. Would the procedure described above work for my situation or is there another method I can use.
My next leap is to go S-off but for now I would just like to get the firmware updated before reflashing Newts.
Thanks in advance.
Yes, you can use the above method fine. However, going S-Off is very easy. It seems like a daunting task, but if you read the directions thoroughly it is very easy. I used the .5 version of Juopunutbear and it worked without a hitch. You are already unlocked and rooted, so if you S-Off, you won't have to do it all over again. From there you can flash the RUU, flash a FLASHABLE version of AR 3.15, then reflash any rom that you want. You will only get the benefit from global with roms that are built aroung the .2 base, but you will get updated radios. I haven't honestly noticed much of a difference with the new radios though.

After locking bootloader(cuz your s-on) rename the ruu you downloaded from android police To PH98IMG put on your sd return sd phone boot into bootloader run update, if it stops and powers off mid update remove battery and start it again, It flashed the hboot first then you gotta go back In And finish the update.

Also to avoid any problems do a factory reset in hboot after update is installed. Being that we're s-on when we re-unlock it does it for us but I've heard some people are having problems after the ruu if they didn't FDR while on stock recovery.. just a heads up

Just to clarify: when you reboot using "adb reboot" or power + volume down, are you booting into the bootloader or hboot? I've read the guides but still a little confused there.
Also, what does the stock recovery do versus something like Amon Ra? Does the stock recovery allow for creating backups and what-not? Sorry to be a total noob here. I can bake cookies or something for you all for your help, hehe.

The bootloader is the hboot. You power on holding vol down to get there.
The stock recovery does not allow you to create backups, or do much at all I'm pretty sure. That is why we have custom ones.

Sorry that you never got an answer to this. Yes, you should flash both recovery (stock) and the RUU as PH98IMG zip files. Wait to start this process until you have a pc/sd card reader available. Trying this without those basic tools is going to make this a frustrating process for you.

That will get you updated to the latest and back to stock.
Then you can unlock again, flash a recovery and reroot and remain on stock ROM with a custom recovery and rooted.

What hboot/radio level are you at now?
For a good Sense 3.6 rom, I'd suggest Ineffabilis Deus v1.2, gives you that stock feel with tweaks available.
You can run the global RUU from here: http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ull-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/ You will need to re-lock if you are s-on.
You can run NilsP Business Sense 3.6 if you want a mostly stock ROM without bloat. I'd suggest restoring a nandroid from the OTA if you have it (I don't keep many nandroids, but that ICS OTA is the one I kept).
Here is the stock ICS OTA: http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...cream-sandwich-ruu-for-final-ota-3-14-605-12/ You will also have to be s-off or re-locked to flash this.
Sorry if I've repeated information posted by anybody previously. That was never my intent. I just hope this helps.

so before i do anything i just want to understand a few things. im currently on a jellybean rom, infection. to get back to the latest ota i just flash the latest ruu which is 4.03.605.2? will i have any issues being s-off or being on a jb rom? and the once i get back onto 4.03 will i need to unlock using the htc website and then root again? and then my last question is, once im back to the lastest stock rom how do i update my firmware/radio/hboot, etc.? I'm just confused on what steps to take and in what order?

If you are s-off your phone should say "locked" and you can just run the RUU. Running that updates all the firmware, radios etc... and so you'll be on the latest stock and locked at that point. Run it twice and let it do its thing until it reboots so it gets all the system files.
Since you are s-off I don't think you will need to unlock again, check what the phone says in hboot as far as *tampered* *unlocked* *s-off* etc... you should confirm that with someone who is s-off.
(if you still have the unlock token you can use it again if you ever need to. Keep it handy so you'll always have it when you need it. I keep mine in the folder I use on my pc for fastboot.)
After you unlock you flash a custm recovery and root from within the recovery if you want to flash another ROM. Or use one of the tools, I've never used any of them.
I think you're good with this RUU for jb. It's the latest and I don't think anyone has anything later than that. I don't use a jb ROM so you may want to confirm that with someone who does.

I used htcdev to unlock my phone don't know why it says locked. Should I just go ahead and flash the ruu? Could you just give a quick step by step guide? ? But if I'm understanding you correctly I just flash the ruu, then i need to unlock my phone again with HTCdev then flash recovery n while in amonra i instill su to roor and I'm now on the latest ota with root? I don't want a ROM at this time. I just want the latest stock rezound with root and latest hboot and radio.

You're s-off. Going s-off relocks the phone because s-off is better than unlocked. You can just flash the RUU.
I recommend against unlocking once you're s-off, because if you try to relock it yourself outside of the s-off process, it will say "relocked" instead of "locked. You can either flash a recovery through a PH98IMG.zip, or you can flash a hex edited hboot to allow extended fastboot commands.

OK so I just ruu and it will bring me back to stock. I then flash amonra 3.16 using the IMG.zip to get recovery on my phone.
(how do I flash the zip since recovery will not be on my phone yet? Do I just use the rezounds recovery to flash it?)
Then once amonra is installed I now root by installing su and superuser from the options in recovery.
Is that it, now I'm on the latest rezound stock w root? Am i still soff too, I don't need to do the wire trick to get soff again?
Oh and flashing that ruu will update me to the latest hboot and radio, correct?

Yes.
If you just want to stay stock and rooted then just run the RUU, flash recovery and root. You should still be s-off and ready to flash a custom ROM if you end up choosing to.

As long as you have a flashable zip of AR 3.15 you're good. All you have to do is rename it PH98IMG.zip (make sure you don't name it .zip.zip) and flash in your bootloader. Here is a link for an already packaged recovery zip: http://www.teambamf.net/topic/3737-bootloader-update-recovery-files-amon-ra-315-and-cwm-touch/ No need to do the wire trick again. Yes, you will be on the newest hboot and radios.

I was on the Inflection Rom too and S-off. I used the Hansoon rezound all in one toolkit. I reflashed the latest RUU and I ulocked again using my unlock code that I had generated on HTC. I flashed recovery and install supersu and now I am rooted on the latest RUU unlocked and S-off.

3. once the jellybean roms are fixed and all the bugs are gone im gonna jump back over. if i want to flash a jellybean rom, do i just go ahead and flash the rom? and will my hboot remain the same whatever rom i flash?
4. im just curious on how im s-off but my phone says locked?

Can you boot into a rom as normal, or are you stuck at the bootloader screen?
If you're stuck at the bootloader screen, then I would find a way to unlock your bootloader (try HTCdev, hopefully it will still work) and then flash a recovery, a rom and then finally a kernel. You might need to run a stock RUU before you can re-unlock your bootloader.

I'm stuck at the boatloader screen and where can I get the stock RUU. I tried to unlock my bootloader at HTCdev and it failed.
Have a look here for RUUs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2112275&highlight=ruu
Can you give some more info about why you couldn't unlock with HTCdev? What errors do you get? What steps (exactly) did you take and where did it fail?
This happened to me and I was able to unlock with htcdev.

The step I failed at was when I tried to submit the token I'D and it wouldn't work. I did all the other steps leading towards submitting the token ID.

Man I tried that today and it said it failed.
You must first flash the stock recovery and then run the ruu.

So I flash the recovery first, then run the rug and that's it or there is more steps. I want to be able to have a recovery
Your bootloader needs to be unlocked to be able to flash a recovery; it must be locked to run a RUU. If you don't have the stock recovery on there then the only way I can see forward is unlocking with HTCdev.
If it's failing, you need to post some output as to why. Copy and paste the error text, or better yet, take a screenshot and post it here and people will be able to help you more.

My hboot is 1.32. I am mad, that I can't make the security warning, go away and I can't download roms. Sometimes I just want to break my phone and get another one.
When you originally in locked the boot loaded you got an e mail use hysoons tool kit and make a new folder in your c drive rite click and rename it to the unlock .bat paste that into your folder run the unlock boot loaded ommand and boom warning all nandroid back ups will be lost the last Rom you were on will be what pops up as a clean slate

Can you just give me some simple steps to follow by please, I'm confused about trying to relock my bootloader.
Step one flash the stock ROM/kernel step 2 use the root kit to re lock the boot loader reboot it will only reboot as normal with the stock ROM/kernel if you want to unroot and revert everything to stock find the updated ruu run it and then do a factory data reset and presto its out of the box condition

Why are you wasting your time when you don't even understand the basics? This is another example of people that jump straight in without reading. Then expecting the community to clean there mess up......
For your bootloader to read "relocked" you must of unlocked and locked the bootloader atleast once. Why can't you remember how you did it?
Your best bet it to search your email for the unlock code HTC sent you the first time you unlocked the bootloader, download and flash it, then flash a custom rom.
Good luck
