Hi everybody,
I need your help as i'm new to android and htc amaze.
First of all i have a rooted htc amaze with S-on using custom energy rom.
Im trying to install latest ics but in vain.
When trying to flash the rom in recovery mode, it states unable to open zip file.
I tried another stock rom and still the same.
How can i install latest rom on it??
Plz Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First of all, wrong forum dude, second, read either the amaze bible or the very ics thread in this very forum.
Sent from an Amaaaaaazing place :-D
Flash the RUU first, you can't just jump from gb to ics without a new base
then since u s-on get ext4 recovery only way u can flash roms cause it flashes the boot.img seperatly so the phone can work properly

There are a lot of posts on this. Check out the ICS sticky. You have to have the stock recovery and a relocked bootloader. You don't flash the stock ROM via recovery; it happens automatically if you have the stock recovery and the proper file name on the external SD card.
Alternately, you can go to the NRG thread; they have instructions on updating to ICS.
Check out the all-in-one tool thread to get your Amaze back to stock.
I'm assuming you are on GB NRG, not ICS.
:banghead: Please keep all question related threads in the Q&A section. Thank You.
Thread Moved.

Hey guys, sorry for this thread. I may sound like a noob but thats only in the flashing and recovery areas. Someone please explain what are custom roms. Is cm7 a custom roms. Once installed, can I revert to the stock rom? How do I get Clockworkmod Recovery.
How do I unbrick a Dell XCD35 aka ZTE Blade.
Device : Del XCD35
A custom ROM is one that has been amended by the cook to suit his taste and specific needs therefore is customized, the opposite of custom is a stock ROM which is the ROM that comes on the device from the manufacturer, out of the box
You can normally revert to stock after a custom be either restoring a backup taken pre custom or running an ruu which is a ROM update program which re installs the original stock roms, you should see these in your devices forum
afraid that I don't know anything about Dell devices so won't comment on recovery install

I don't understand ANYTHING about androids but i followed a video tutorial on how to root it and it worked. So now, i have a 4.0.1 yajuux build Gnex (gsm) that is rooted and i got ClockWork Recovery on it with rom manager. I want to get the Apex 1.0.2 Rom on my phone except it says i need a XXKK6 radio. How do i flash that radio? also, I want the franco kernel on it after so how would i flash that? Please explain it like you would explain to a 10 year old so that I fully understand the process.

Buy a phone in the XDA phone list, check its forum sections (General, Q&A and Development) for some kind of sticky guides, follow the guides.

First you need to go to the section for your phone. Start by read the stickies and any pertinent information on radios, kernels, and ROMs. Then find the rom, kernel, or radio you want and read it. Start with the OP and then keep reading. Whatever questions you may have will probably have already been answered. If not, then is the time to ask questions in the appropriate Q& A thread. Good luck and enjoy your phone!
Absolution 3.7/Redemption ICS A2b1
This is the best thing to do if you really want to "learn" about android phones, I read almost every thread for my phone for about 3 months before I even rooted my phone. By that time I could root my phone successfully and fix any problems myself along the way.

For the past week or so, I have been looking through this forum and looking for a solution. I have tried many but all have failed. I tried to flash the custom rom Energy but it won't load. I originally had stock Wind ICS rooted using hasoon's all in one tool.
EDIT: I fixed my phone by flashing a kernel but I don't understand why that worked. I was trying random stuff. If possible, can someone explain this to me why this might have fixed it?
Are you s-on? If so then that is why. If you are s-on then you need to be using 4ext recovery with smartflash enabled. Using any other recovery will not flash the kernel when you flash the Rom unless you are s-off

if you are s-on i would recommend that you s-off your phone and supercid it so u can use the t-mobile roms, but yes you should be using 4EXT if you are S-ON to flash roms, if your stuck at the boot screen as long as you can get into recover there is hope.. just flash a different rom or relock ur bootloader and return to stock following one of my posts in this section about returning wind mobile to stock, if you need any further help just let me know

I guess it's because you're lacking the ics firmware.. Flash a GB rom then you'll have a working rom.. You can't flash any ICS, JB rom without upgrading to ICS firmware.. Refer to AJ's ics upgrade thread in general section if you're feeling like upgrading your firmware from GB to ICS

Hey Guys,
I'm kinda lost and haven't found anything the forum that remotely resembles my problem.
I have a rooted EVO 4G LTE with CM10 JB 4.1. I'm sick of the ****ty camera picture quality and constant freezing while taking pictures (just freezes then the phone reboots) so i'm trying to go to a more of a stock rom that I'll just customize with launchers etc.
My question is, since I can't update the OTA from the rom, do i need to flash the new kernel and the stock rooted rom and if so what order? The other question I had if I do need to install the new kernel does it have to be in the root of the internal SD or external SD?
I tried flashing some of the newer stock rooted roms and none of them would work. I would get the message (bad) when trying to update through recovery. I thought at first that just meant a corrupted zip file but when trying 3 different roms that all said the same thing I thought maybe it could be because the kernel is different then what I have.
At any rate, if anyone could help with a link to some kind of guide (if anyone knows of one) or just some general directions that would be insanely helpful.
Thanks for any help offered!
Download the Rom of your choice. Pull the boot img from that Rom. That is the kernel you need to flash. The fact that your asking this question I would reccomend using the app " flash image gui". You can flash the boot img from your current Rom then immediately boot into recovery and flash the Rom.

Haha, yeah. Thanks! I like to dabble but I wouldn't call myself any kind of pro. I just wasn't sure if the rom would stay stable if I updated the kernel will still in the OS. Anyways, thanks again! :good:
Hey man I didn't wanna come off like I'm some kind of expert cause I know enough to get myself in trouble that's about it, but I have some expierence with a s-on device.
If your not sure just read some more. A good thread is "don't panic" in the Q&A section.
You should be fine tho
good luck

First to clarify, i have an "unbranded" (asian) HTC Amaze (which is also known as HTC RUBY).
I'm on stock ROM 2.3.4 and it is un-updatable officially.
So... I unlocked my bootloader, then i installed 4EXT recovery, then i S-OFFed my device (which somehow locked my recovery again), then i rooted it.
Now, when i flash a custom rom (Cyanogenmod JB 4.1.2 official), it gets stuck on the boot screen (the rotating cyanogenmod logo).
I have backed up my rom in the recovery, so i can restore it and get back to where i was.
Basically i want to know what I'm doing wrong or if I've missed an step.
I haven't Super-CID it yet, is it really necessary? And i also can't seem to update my hboot, but isn't 4ext supposed to do that for me?
You forgot to install the ICS firmware. You can't install an ICS ROM while on Gingerbread. You need to first upgrade to ICS, then you may start flashing ROMS.
This thread has it, and all of what you need.

Oh... So according to the article, i just download that ROM, rename it to PH85IMG.zip and flash it via bootloader.
After that i should be able to install any ROM i want right? Including the Cyanogenmod JB 4.1.2 one?
----
Oh and just to update, I've also updated my bootloader to the latest 1.93.2222 one. Working all fine.
I've also run the SuperCID batch script, and it seemed to work, but It isn't showing any CID status on my bootloader. Maybe it will once i flash the ICS ROM on it.
HURRAY! It worked. I'm using the T-Mobile ICS ROM right now without any issues. I think I'm going to stick with this for a while before i try the Cyanogenmod 4.1.2 one.
Thanks a lot Afnan dude, your one short reply was enough to solve my issue. Haha
