I asked this in another thread but didnt get an answer...
This morning, I checked my system updates and got the OTA for ICS. It downloaded fine, and I hit install now. My phone powered off like it should have, and when it came back on my screen has has a weird green X in the middle of the screen. Is this normal? should I keep waiting? I didnt think it should have takin this long, and Ive never seen this weird X before...can someone please help...

yes, both actually. Ive never flashed any roms or anything though, just stuck with the stock cuz I was scared to mess things up...lol
Unroot, restore stock recovery then relock the bootloader, then try again. It won't allow the update with an unlocked bootloader.

To be completely honest, I have NO IDEA how to do that. I had Binery walk me through the rooting process, and I dont know how to restore it..

Use the Amaze toolkit, it has everything as a button, do it in this order and you should be fineL
1. restore stock recovery
2. relock the bootloader (oem_relock)
3. retry updating.

Welcome buddy ^_^
Hey Dark, I flashed the stock recovery, relocked the bootloader, ran the update again and now I get a phone pic with a red triangle and exclamation mark...any ideas?
Download one of the GB stock RUU files, rename it and place it on your external sd card and reboot into HBoot, it should automatically detect the file and take your entire phone back to complete stock, there shouldn't be any stops from updating.
Stock RUU thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1617644
rename the file to PH85IMG.zip when you place in on your sd card.

Awe man, what's not stock on your current set up? Maybe we can just restore files. Don't you have a nandroid backup?

well, when I unlocked my bootloader I used the HTC site, then I had Binery help me with root. he came up with a one-click root while we were doing it. After that I haven't done anything else to it besides get rid of the bloat cuz that's the only reason I wanted root.
Everything should be fine then, stock recovery, stock rom, locked bootloader, tried re-downloading the update?

I just did a factory reset, re-downloaded the update, Im about to try the install now. I did notice one thing though when I was using Hasoon, I think it said Failed when I flashed the stock recovery...
Yep, The update failed to install again.
What radio is on the new OTA update? Can someone who has done the update, post?
No clue where recovery files go on the amaze or we could do it via recovery, just retry flashing stock recovery, if not we'll have to wait until someone pulls the file and makes a zip file to flash it, did you try flashing the recovery using the tool while the phone was in fastboot? That's probably a requirement.

Ok, I screwed up....
Flashed the New ICS leak after relocking bootloader via PH
I was on a custom ROM and the flash failed miserably.
My phone will only boot into the bootloader and it shows Tampered and Relocked
I tried reflashing the last RUU in PH format and get an error saying Hboot version is older.
Anyone know how to get this phone to boot? Not how I wanted to start my Sat. morning at all.......
Wondering if someone can repack the latest RUU into a zip with a modified main version? I can only flash through fastboot and cannot Unlock the bootloader.
Scott has a tutorial for getting through this in the OP of ICS 4.0 Clean ROM
I'd think you would first want to unlock again. Then bootloader to recovery and restore the backup you made before trying to flash.
Got it unlocked again. I had to generate another Unlock code, my screw up somehow killed the original.
Issue resolved

you need to chose factory reset , the first time after flashing a custom recovery then you can reboot into recovery after that. At least that was the experience of a few of us.
I'm back in business, but permanently branded. ( I think)
My bootloader still reads ***TAMPERED*** at the top. If anyone knows how to clear this, please let me know...

from my reading last night it seems that this will go away once having the stock recovery back on the device, it only shows with a custom (amon ra, CWM) recovery.

Hmmm, it never said that until I botched flashing the new ICS leak. I spend a lot of time in the bootloader and never once saw it say tampered.

well that is because I am assuming you never installed a leaked firmware before...
you tampered with your bootloader, lol, so I guess it's letting you know.
I'm sure when I upgrade to the leak I'll have it too. not worried about it personally.
so installing the leak makes your bootloader say tampered? im sorta glad i held off on installing for right now.
Ok, I thought things were cool and they are not. I have my phone up and running. I was able to restore a backup I had...

You can't restore backups on the new firmware.. I spent 6 hours last night into this morning figuring that out the hard way...Did you make a backup of the stock rom after you ran the RUU ? If so then just flash your backup and realize you have to wait for the roms to get updated. If you didn't the only way I can think of is to relock and rerun the RUU and don't restore backups.
Ouch, I don't have a backup of the stock rom.
Do you have a link to the last RUU? The link is dead in football's thread.
Wonder if I can flash Scott's new 4.0 ROM? I think I will try that...

here is the one I downloadedhttp://lts.cr/Be5_ for the latest RUU. Unfortunately, once you flashed the new RUU you can't go back with the last RUU. The new one upgraded the hboot and I don't think you can downgrade.
you just need to rerun the same RUU you just did that is all and just wait for the rom you like to be updated.. most devs already have one in the works or out already

Good idea Scott's should work just fine .. just mount usb in recovery in order to get the Rom on the SD card .
Did you flash the RUU twice? That worked for me.
From here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1550358 on your root sdcard rename the zip and flash it twice.
Scott's ROM keeps crashing and the phone reboots..
I will try flashing the RUU zip file again I guess..
You relocked the phone and change the file to PH98IMG correct?
My bootloader looked normal after the second flash. but then said tampered once i flashed a recovery.

At the time yes. Probably why I flashed it twice. But the RUU is used in HBOOT so it shouldn't have mattered if there is a custom recovery at the time.

Hi Everyone,
I have a Mobilicity Amaze 4G, got the OTA ICS notification and cant seem to update.
After hitting "Install Now" the phone restarts and shows a green "X" in the center.
I have to do a battery pull to get the phone working again and it loads with ginger bread.
I am on stock Mobilicity ginger bread, phone is rooted with S-on. Nothing else has been done to it.
What could be the problem?
Will the method described here work?

You don't see an icon name Amaze 3.2? With an A as the icon? When you do, double click on that, it won't be in the data folder, it will be outside of it. Unzip the contents of the zip file into an empty folder so you won't lose any of the files in between your downloads.

I'd advise you to have the ruu ready, once relocked, it's gonna be stuck on the bootloader, but since it's wind, just choose fastboot then run the exe file, it's gonna restore everything on the phone to complete stock, I'd advise you to copy the OTA file from your internal sd card's download folder, copy it to your external sd card, once the stock ruu has finished installing from your pc and reboots, do a battery pull, hold volume down then power on, should take you to hboot, choose recovery, recovery should give you a red triangle, hit volume up then power button. install update.zip from external, browse to the OTA file then hit the power button, it's gonna install, reboot two times or so, voila! You're on ICS!

Ruu is the stock image of your systems stock Rom used to flash the device back to complete stock.
Check in the dev section for the stock ruu, it should be an exe file, so you'll have to flash it via pc, you'll have to put the phone into fastboot, turn it off until you get the ruu exe file.

My phone is rooted, but I just relocked the bootloader.
Does relocking the bootloader unroots the phone?
I didnt know installing an ota i got in notification bar would be this hard.
All i want to do is install the official ICS update mobility sent to me this morning.
I bought my phone rooted, but it is still on gingerbread. i never done anything to it.
Requirements:
1. Stock GB of whichever provider you choose to install from be it Telus or T-Mobile
do note that you can only install the ICS OTA file of the exact providers who's stock GB you have installed.
2. The OTA corresponding file, I'll provide links to both below.
3. An SD card.
4. S-ON users will have to relock their bootloader.

It doesn't seems so, the green x usually means you have the wrong recovery and since hasoon removed that from his tool we need to flash the stock recovery by restoring a stock ruu.

into the data folder of the tool, start up his tool, then choose to flash your own recovery, it should select that file you downloaded and flash it, you have to do this via fastboot, after that, retry updating.

Thank you for the help so far, i appreciate it.
Just for clarification after relocking the bootloader the green "X" doesnt show anymore.
when i try to update after relocking the bootloader it gets stuck at the white screen that says "security warning relocked" at the top.
Should I still flash the recovery image?
What do you mean by "do this via fastboot"?
Should the phone be off while flashing?
Sorry I am just a little confused.

Let's start over, I'll go look for the stock RUU for mobilicity, is your device from mobilicity or is it from another carrier?
I have a rooted Rezound running the OTA ICS. I also have Amon Ra recovery. The newest Firmware update keeps downloading. Once it does the phone shuts off and goes straight to Amon Ra which does not install new firmware. So I reboot the phone and the download process starts all over again. Is there any way to get this new firmware with having to factory reset? Thanks in advance!

From 605.12 you should get a small OTA first then the big one after that one is done. I just did same procedure in the last week on my wife's phone.

Having the same issue here as OP and been searching forums for days looking for help...
First, I'm on 605.13 already, stock ROM, rooted with Amon ra. I realize the steps I need to take but can't find any specifics.
Could someone please spell out the specifics of how to flash the stock recovery, and if I can use the 605.12 RUU to do this being on .13 already. I keep seeing others posting about just renaming a file to recovery.img and pushing using fastboot, but I'm not sure how to obtain the correct file.
Do you relock bootloader first or flash stock recovery first and the relock? BTW I'm s-on stil. Thanks in advance

For some apparent reason the 605.13 update downloaded this afternoon and the 605.14 updated. Its all set after a frustrating 2 weeks of digital torture. thanks to all that helped. I had to scour all these resources and forums to get this done but this is what worked for me. I relocked the bootloader then I used the 605.12 RRU.exe program. After about a day I checked for the updates and they downloaded and installed successfully.
Xander, since you just got this working, can you please confirm the process - I'm about to do this myself and want to verify the steps...
1) Reboot into hboot > fastboot and relock bootloader via fastboot oem lock
2) download 3.14.605.12 RUU.exe (I'm currently on 3.14.605.13)
3) Reboot phone into hboot > fastboot usb
4) run RUU.exe from PC
Is that it? Anything I'm missing here or am I on the right path?

U have step 1 and step 2 correct. Step 3 would be to connect the phone to the computer and run the 605.12 ruu.exe tool. After that u are now back to a stock phone. After the initial setup of adding your gmail account and contacts you can now go into system settings and check for update. As I stated before my phone would not download the update for some odd reason. I tried it a couple more times without success. Today on a whim I went to check for the update again and it started to download. After the small 6mb file was complete the next update for 605.14 downloaded without anny issues. Make sure you delete any zip files off your external SD card labeled ph98img.zip if u tried that method.
Step1 relock boot loader
Step2 run 3.14.605.12 ruu.exe
Step3 check for updates
Step4 unlock phone if you want to
I hope this helps anyone. Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks.. Got it! And I got both the 13 and 14 updates almost immediately afterwards. I appreciate the confirmation about the process...

Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks!
Mind if I ask why are you trying to unlocked you bootloader and soff or your already soff?
Ok, I'll try to help best I can. Hopefully one of the more experienced folks can chime in too as they'll probably be way more helpful. I've got a couple guesses, but need to know a bit more. Please know that I'm only providing my best guesses as I haven't run into this problem.
What firmware version were you on when you tried rumrunner? It sounds like you already had an unlocked bootloader and s-off... through moonshine. Did you end up with a locked bootloader? If so, how? You mentioned that you went back to sense 5. What method? Did you ruu back to a stock rom or just flash one of the Custom/stock ROMs.
Here is one possible option. I would suggest reading through the thread thoroughly before diving in...
- Go back to 100% stock with locked bootloader and s-on: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293919
Then make sure you've taken any OTA updated to get to 3.06.605.4 and you should be able to use rumrunner.

The reason the thing is failing is because he already has a unlocked bootloader with soff. I don't know why he is trying to unlock something that is already unlocked. All he needs to do is download something like superuser or flash a custom rom with root built into it.

10-4. That's kinda what I thought too, but figured I'd try to confirm by asking a few questions. I have seen a few people get stuck with s-off but a locked bootloader if they goof up the process trying to go back to 100% stock. Thought I'd ask the questions just in case this is what he did.
Ok, I would like to keep the Stock Android, but would like to have root access.
I an unsure how to gain root access with out turning S-ON.
I could follow that and turn S-ON again,
But if you have another method of gaining ROOT with out flashing a custom ROM,
I would be grateful for your assistance.
Sorry for any confusion on that,
I spent 10hrs trying to figure this out yesterday,
it was necessary to put down and look at another day.
I have tried downloading superuser and supersu from the play store, neither give me access to root
However I have looked on your forums since you suggested simply flashing another rom already with root access - Thanks for that btw
this post shows the full version, but has odex and deodex, well deodex is pulled, may i ask what the difference is?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2560010
I will flash the odex one now and see what happens, thanks again I needed a fresh look at this I guess.

You must already have a superuser app to install one from the play store. Flash a superuser zip from recovery. That will put both the app and the required binaries in place.
Yo this is a random question if I go back to stock 2.06 soff and rooted will rumrunner update me or what?

From what I have learned so far, running rumrunner when you are already S-OFF will net you a FAILED message. if your DNA is already S-OFF then feel free to flash whatever ROM you want.. well sorta, make sure it's for the DNA, and flash at your own risk.
I took the OTA after achieving S-OFF with moonshine and it removed my root access... now I am in this boat where I want to regain root.
I have finally finished downloading the zip from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2560010
But I have no idea how to flash it, step by step instructions would be helpful since this is my first flash and I have yet to figure it out. I have tried fastboot flash zip but that didn't work, and I am unfamilar with this....
The FAQ here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2188944
is of no help unfortunately....
I found some Instructions that tell you to boot into recovery, but when I try to boot into recovery all I get is a RED ! and Triangle above a screen. like something went wrong :/
Start by downloading ROM and the patch and copy the file to the SD card’s root in your device.
Reboot your phone into recovery mode. For this, power off your device and restart it keeping the volume down key pressed. Your phone will be booted into bootloader fastboot mode.
In the Recovery mode, use the ‘Power ’key to select and to navigate use the ‘Volume’ keys.
Use ‘backup and restore’ option to create a backup.
Now perform three steps in a row: first wipe data//factory reset, then wipe cache and lastly wipe dalvik cache accessing the advanced menu.
Now install zip from your sdcard, then select ROMs zip file you copied to your phone and choose zip.
Redo it for Patch file once you are done with ROM installation.
At the end, reboot your phone.
Lovely I didn't have a recovery installed, using the tools: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219175
I installed the TWRP 2.5.0.0 recovery,
THEN I was able to enter recovery and flash the ROM.
WOW what a experience, this has been.

well glad you got it sorted out.... it can be quite a lot to take in if you have never done anything like that before. but once you have done it a few times it is much easier to do and remember especially if you run into problems.
cheers
and happy customizing.

if you want the 3.06.605.4 update (aka 4.2.2) and you are already s-off - and want STOCK no root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2570548
if you want root to go with that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2560010
if you are stock 2.06 you can take the OTA even if you are s-off, but if you have root, you will loose root taking the ota.

if you want to revert to stock, since i didn't flash the second till i flashed the first, i would suggest that you do that, if you want to go with another custom rom, follow it's instructions, if it asks for a specific starting point, aka stock 4.2.2 then flash the first one then flash the custom one.
Hi everyone,
I have an M8 that has been rooted and has s-off. One of my friends helped me do this. It is at version 4.4.2. When I download the OTA package, it boots to teamwin and when I try to flash the ota package it fails. Is there something that I am missing? Do I need to un-root it and turn s-on? Thanks in advance.

You need to revert back to stock recovery. Stock recovery is required to install OTA.
Unrooting is not needed to OTA. Going back S-on is not needed either, and absolutely not recommended.
How would I go about going back to stock recovery? I think I tried this in the past but was never able to get it to work correctly.

See is someone has posted it, then flash in fastboot.
You are still on the stock ROM? What software number in Settings>About>Software information?
Alternately, if you don't care about your personal data being wiped and setting up the phone again (there are various ways to backup and restore your data, especially since you are rooted) you can just RUU up to the current OS version.

You can get the stock recovery for that software number here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/development/att-stock-backups-recoveries-otas-t2855966
If the ROM isn't stock, the OTA will fail and tell you so. You can get the stock ROM backup from the same thread,

That is what stock recovery is. You can OTA by booting normally and checking for software update in settings.

So I got my recovery back to stock. I download the update fine but when it goes to reboot into recovery, it starts to update and a little into it, I get a red triangle and I have to reboot my phone. When it comes back up, I get the message saying "There was a problem with this software update that prevented installation." Any suggestions?

Delete the OTA file (believe it should be in Downloads folder) and try to download the update again.
Or just RUU as I mentioned previously.

Hi Redpoint, I deleted the OTA file and tried again with the same results. How would I go about RUU? And you mentioned before that this will wipe my device, correct? Will it change me being rooted and having s-off? Thank you so much for the assistance, I really appreciate it

RUUs are linked on my Index thread under "RUUs": http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2751432
Yes, the RUU will wipe the device. So backup anything you want to keep accordingly.
You can RUU all the way up to Lollipop. Just download the RUU to a PC, connect the phone, and run the RUU executable. The rest is self-explanatory by the RUU program, and very easy.
Since you are s-off, no need to relock the bootloader to RUU. Relocking the bootloader is required to run the RUU with s-on. I know that you are s-off (and this doesn't apply to you), but just wanted to add that in case anyone else reads this and tries it (to avoid confusion).
S-off will remain after RUU.
You will lose root. So after RUU, just install custom recovery again, and root by your desire method again. The same would happen if you updated by OTA.
