I've got an Amaze 4G on Wind Mobile. My brother and I recently tried upgrading it to ICS. We followed numerous sets of instructions, flashing a recovery, a new version of hboot, s-offing the phone, changing the SuperCID and flashing an ICS ROM. We originally tried Android Revolution HD, but the phone always got stuck at the HTC logo and wouldn't boot up.
After a few hours of searching the forums and trying various things, we finally got the Energy ROM version 5/1 installed, after changing the SuperCID back to the Wind default (globa001 I think). We figured it was an issue with the Revolution ROM, but when I tried upgrading to Energy 5/6, I ran into the same issue.
I have searched the forums and found numerous people with the same problem, but I have not found a solution. I spent all night flashing ROMs and trying various things and I finally got it to go to the Energy boot animation, but it would just sit there and do nothing (I left it a good half hour). The next morning I tried installing Speed Rom with the SuperCID 11111111 and it worked. However, I had tried the same thing the night before, so I'm not sure what changed.
I'm not happy with Speed and would like to go back to Energy, but I'm worried it will brick my phone again.
I am currently using the TWRP recovery, but I used 4ext before with the same result. My firmware versions are as follows:
RUBY PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.93.0002
OpenADSP-v02.6.0.2226.00.0202
eMMC-boot
Any help would be very much appreciated.

ok, well if your on wind mobile you want to use super cid.
but heres what i think the problem is, you didnt mention anything about wiping. try flashing the superwipe.zip before flashing roms. and always have a nandroid of a working rom. or else you may get stuck....
if you need anymore help, i will be watching this thread
Sorry, I forgot to mention that. I used superwipe and tried the various wipe options in the recovery, with the same result.
I'll definitely look into nandroid before I try installing another rom ;-)
I'd advise switching back to 4EXT recovery, makes flashing easier, trust me. Now update your phone to stock ICS, install 4EXT recovery then format all partitions except sd then install the ROM of your choice.
Before installing ICS you'll need to flash GB stock from WIND, then update to ICS via either OTA or directly on the phone via OTA. Then do what I said above, let us know what happens.
yeah like dark said above me, use 4ext. it makes flashing easier.

Thanks for your help everyone. I'm a little confused about how to proceed though. I downloaded the stock Wind ruu.exe file from the forums, but I'm not sure what to do with it. I'm running Linux, so I can't execute the file. Is there any way to flash it without a Windows machine?
Also, do I need to relock my bootloader and go through the whole s-off procedure again, or can I simply downgrade to GB and upgrade back to ICS again without going through all those steps?

You need windows to flash it.

Once you're s-off once, you'll always be s-off unless you s-on again, to use the windows file your best option would be to use WINE. Which I figure you should be know how to use.

Thanks again for your help. I followed your instructions: Downgraded to GB, flashed the Wind ICS OTA, install 4ext recover, ran superwipe and formatted everything except the SD card, and then flashed Energy 6/6. It got past the HTC screen, but got stuck on the Energy boot animation.
Do you have any other suggestions?

Same issue
I'm doing the same and I need help
I'm trying to get the latest EnergyRom. I was using the GB EnergyRom before and finally made it to the T-Mobile Stock ICS rom using fastboot instructions from here: androidforums.com/rezound-all-things-root/535820-how-easier-way-flash-ph98img-files.html using the this ruu. [bravo.d-h.st/z70?key=1340081175
Right now I don't se any S-On instructions for Energy rom, though I do see one for Android Revolution HD. I need to get CWM re-installed as that was lost. Do I need S-Off to get Energy Rom?
How do I get the latest Energry rom installed?

It's the kernel he built his rom on, so requires it to work properly.
hi im a relative newbie at this the only 2 android phones ive rooted and stuck new roms on are the defy and the hero and they both werent as complex as the evo
well yesterday i unlocked the bootloader via htcdev then i rooted the phone, i then attempted to stick a new rom on it (coolexes) by extracting the boot img and then sticking the whole rom on my sd card and running it in recovery.
when i started the phone up it was stuck in a boot loop, i got it to recovery then attempted to reflash the backup i made earlier but i must have done something wrong as it still wont do anything.
since then ive been scouting the web for help, ive tried upgrading the radio with no joy, ive then tried sticking on a stock rom i found through this site and unfortunatly it said that it couldnt be installed (both exactly the same model rom)
information on my phone screen is as follows
SHOOTER_U PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.53,0007
eMMC-BOOT
May 22 2012,01:06:07
it doesnt say anything else.
thanks in advance for your help
First
Wrong section. Questions goes in q&a obviously
Second
You have 2 options
1. S-off your phone. Don't ask me how, its in GSM section. Than flash rom
2. Pull boot.img from rom you flashed and flash it manually via fastboot. (Since your hboot is 1.53 there is a good chance that this will not work so I suggest you s-off your hboot)
Sent from my U8500 using Tapatalk 2
sorry about the wrong section, I realised as soon as i posted it
cheers for the advice ill look in to s-off
managed to get s-off now but unfortunatly i still get a boot loop now it includes a juopunutbear screen too, this is driving me mad.
i can still boot into recovery and bootloader though. does anyone have a cure?
(please can a mod move this to the correct section)
Maybe try to downgrade hboot to 1.49.0007

cheers fella, ive done that and now ive got a locked bootloader.
but it still isnt booting (it just goes to the juopunutbear screen.
would you suggest i try and load a stock rom after i reunlock the bootloader or do you have any idea what i should do next.
cheers for all your advice so far i really appriciate it.
I don't know man, you are something wrong.
Most of the new Roms requires 4ext recovery
Doesn't matter if its locked if its s-off
S-off>unlocked bootloader(HTC method)

ive got 4ext too mate.
when i run the exe of the shooter shipped rom (that football uploaded 3.38.401.1 europe) it just keeps telling me that it cant complete the installation and that ive got the wrong version of the installer (but isnt that just a windows thing....not actually something ive downloaded?)
when i flash a new custom rom from the recovery screen on the phone, the instalation goes through fine but it still goes back into bootloop and that juopnotbear screen?
do you think ive just completely buggered my phone?
cheers again mate
Sorry.

To make it easier in the future to flash roms I would install 4ext recovery and enable smartflash

Hello, I desperately would like to see how to put my HTC Amaze back to stock. A couple of months ago I tried putting it back to stock because the energy rom kept rebooting on me and draining my battery life randomly. Anyways I was not successful and so I just kept the rom and the rebooting problems stopped anyways. Now, its happening again and I would really love for some one to help me get it back to stock so I can see if it improves and maybe get the thing S-OFF later. I am with Wind mobile.
Any help is greatly appreciated,
A frustrated amaze user.

Hey thanks for the response. So I locked the bootloader and then got the wind RUU renamed it as PH85img.zip or w/e its supposed to be. And now when in the boot screen it cannot find my file I then tried another RUU but this time is used the exe wind one but that one failed as well and came up as an error saying the hboot version is older then what im flashing or something?
So I am stuck at this point. Do you know how to get around this?
Make sure the ruu is on the root of the sd card

Yeah it was connected via usb. I got somewhere, now but im am hoping you can tell me what i need to do now. I followed the second post here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2167596 and now I have GB rom on my phone running unlocked. What do I need to do from here so I can S-off and super CID? PS I tried doing an OTA update from the phone and it wont work.
Looking into the S-off guide it says i must be on a stock RUU. is the one i got install a stock RUU. Also my hboot version is 1.93.0002 (Mar 15 2012) which is ice cream sandwich according to the Unlimited.IO site, but the RUU im on is definitely gingerbread. What can I do about this?

am I completely screwed now? Cause it seems i wont be able to get S-off or CID off while not on this unsigned rom (t-mobile), i am with Wind. The OTA does not work while on the phone (settings > software update). Would locking my bootloader and then loading the latest OTA zip from wind on the SD card work? I am very stuck!

well choice is yours your android version says GB hboot says ICS :/ i say try the GB s-off tool but do at your own risk...
well S-Off worked so thats good haha. Now i am trying to super CID. However, when uploading the proper hboot for doing so it wont let me because of the CID.
Ignore that last post. I figured it out so all is good. Now here is another question, should i flash CM10.1 or your rom that viper one? How would I go about flashing a rom. I remembered before you would just go into recovery and then format all execpt sd card and then install from zip. I tried that with the CM10.1 rom and when I rebooted it did not work.
went ahead and tried installing the Viper rom and after i reboot (when it said all was good) it show a black screen with green arrows. And its stuck on that. I do not know what to do now. Because I should have everything open. Was I supposed to flash something after doing the S-OFF?
This is what I am getting stuck on. I tried another rom too, same thing. I can boot into 4ext. But cant get past this on boot up.

I was a bit overzealous in wanting to get ParanoidAndroid up on my refurb that just came in the mail. I unlocked the bootloader, then rooted, but before doing S-OFF, I tried to flash PA. Now, I'm stuck on the HTC bootscreen. I can get into the bootloader and TWRP, but when I try to flash something else, it freezes and reboots right around when it says "Installing Kernel, please wait."
I'm hoping there's something i can do from this point, I'm just not sure what.
You have to fastboot flash the kernel/boot.img since you are s-on
Download meanbean rom and follow the instructions in the op for s-on, then go get s-off... Good luck!

Need more information.
Are you unlocked, S-on or S-off?
Is the device rooted?
Hard to help with the information at hand.
If you can boot into android, go to play store, download GOO.Manager and "install open recovery script." That should get you a working TWRP recovery.

Check in bootloader, See if you're still Unlocked S-off.
If so you can re-install a recovery.
i now have the tampered flag and showing re-locked...but it was showing re-locked when i last had a successful recovery/rom running
is my bootloader in fact re-locked ( im guessing the reason i keep getting remote not allowed)
i cant seem to find an unlock method that will work... HTCDEV = no good / cant run apk for obvious reasons ( cant boot my baby lol)
All you gotta do is rerun rumrunner.

Thanks for chiming in thayl0,
like i said, the ONLY thing i can successfully flash is firmware which is what i dont understand . if i can flash that , wth not recovery? btw im trying to flash recovery clockworkmod 6.0.4.5 . could i be trying to flash a recovery not compatible with firmware?
If you are re-locked you will not be able to do anything.
That's where you gotta start. I think thayl0 may be right. Try re-running Rumrunner.
Once you are unlocked, then you will able to install a recovery+++
finally got it fixed! i had to FIND the correct RUU for the firmware im assuming... also by flashing the stock hboot you guys pointed me to. thanks and if anyone else comes across this problem i suggest taking the time to make sure you have compatible RUU and/or other files they r trying to flash. thanks again guys
