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?

Yup, but you HAVE to meet the requirements, also if you're s-on, you have to relock your bootloader.

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.

Okay, I think I found it, using hasoons tool, place this file here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19769336/recovery.img
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?

Hi guys I'm fairly new here and was hoping you guys could help me out.
so i got my amaze a couple months ago from this guy and he told me had rooted the phone but then he unrooted it.
So fastforward to today and i'm trying to update my phone to the new android 4.0 . it downloads the update but then when it shuts off to start installing the update a triangle pops up with an exclamation mark.
it wouldn't go away so i took the battery out to restart it, which it did.
How do i go about fixing this . Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
and this was on my bootloader screen if it helps any

To receive ota's you must have a locked bootloader. Yours is unlocked.

Just download one of the stock ruu files, place it on your sd card rename it PH85IMG.zip and reboot into HBoot mode, it should restore your phone to complete stock.
What radio is on the new OTA update? Can someone who has done the update, post?

I have the same problem. I get a Main ver is old error when attempting to load the stock ruu, PH85IMG_Ruby_TMOUS_1.36.531.6_Radio_1.07.550L.04DC_30.64.550L.07_release_219373_signed.zip .
There is no way to get it back to stock with HBOOT on the ICS RUU you cannot go back, I got screwed over too. Unless you got S-Off before you went to ICS, that's the only way you can go back to stock. I think, that's what someone else told me, so give it a try but otherwise I think you are screwed, but I don't really know what I'm talking about. Can anyone confirm this?

Ok, I flashed via HBOOT the same version that was on the phone, PH85IMG_Ruby_TMOUS_1.43.531.3_Radio_1.08.550L.19DC_30.66.550L.08D_release_228638_signed.zip , and it seems to have accepted it, and going through the updates now.
Now, I will boot into stock, and attempt the new OTA ICS upgrade.
Will a restore work via CWM, that I took from the stock GB ROM above?
OTA ICS Upgrade = Success
I was going to pull the file off of the phone, but I started the upgrade and forgot. I could not locate it afterwards.
How did you flash via Hboot? Did you rename the file before you put it on your SD Card? Also do you have stock recovery?
finally got it
1. Make sure USB Debugging is enabled. Go to Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging.
2. Download my tool and run it. If your bootloader is unlocked (most likely it is), on my tool, press "Boot into Bootloader". After you are in bootloader, run the "Relock Bootloader" command
3. Put the Stock T-Mobile 1.43 ROM on to your SD Card. Make sure it in the root folder. Rename the file to PH85IMG. Run the command on my tool to "Boot into Bootloader" It should scan for the ROM. If it doesn't (It may be in Fastboot mode, that's why) press the power button so it switches from Fastboot into HBOOT mode.
4. It will detect it and press the Volume Up button. It will flash the Stock ROM.

Unlock your amaze again. Follow the hasoon steps and you'll be able to unlock it.
once you unlock it download this file
http://d-h.st/OIC
once that is done rename it to "PH85IMG" and then put it into your sdcard
then follow these steps
"Run the command on the hasoon tool to "Boot into Bootloader" It should scan for the ROM. If it doesn't (It may be in Fastboot mode, that's why) press the power button so it switches from Fastboot into HBOOT mode.
4. It will detect it and press the Volume Up button. It will flash the Stock ROM."
once it's done flashing you'll be on stock and then you can update the phone to ICS.
TOOK ME ALL DAY! dont worry you'll figure it out.
I have one question, how do I do it if I don't have an SD card? I rooted without one...

I would like to run stock ICS but stay rooted and unlocked.
I tried the wire trick for s-off but it is not working because [i think] I'm not running a stock ROM.
What is the best route to go from here?
I heard someone say I had to relock my bootloader in order to install ICS?

I have Hasoon2000's all in one kit so I was able to use "relock bootloader" and it worked.
What I need:
DONE: (1) URL to "stock ruu" <-- I assume you mean ICS ROM when you say that? OK I found and have this file now
HELP: (2) when you say "flash the stock ruu via hboot" <-- I'm not sure what you mean for me to do. I found some hboot zip files named 1.90.2005 and 1.93.0002. Do I copy those to the phone's mem card and then ... ? My current hboot is 1.90.2004. How do I get it up to date?
Thanks!
Phone going to black screen with green arrows
Now when I reboot the phone stops at a black screen with green circular arrows. I can get to bootloader and recovery but can't seem to get it to show me the file system so I can put the ICS RUU on the phone. Ideas?

Thanks for that! When you say "rename the file" <--- do you mean the new hboot zip file I have hboot_1.93.0002? Or do you mean keep my current hboot and by "the file" you mean the ICS ROM?

SU binary
OK now I'm up on stock T-Mobile ICS, my bootloader is locked, and s-on.

When I locked the bootloader, did I lose root?
Or is it just a matter of copying a binary to my phone?
If just copy binary, how do I find that binary?

You need to unlock and flash a custom recovery, then you can flash the superuser.zip and your root will be back.

Check the cable, if the probably persist, reboot into fastboot (I'm assuming you know how to do this, if not, turn your device off, hold the volume down button then press the power button, choose fastboot in the menu), once in fastboot, retry flashing the recovery via the tool.

Choose the perm root option in hasoon's tool, select run, it's gonna push a SuperSu.zip to your sd card, then boot you into recovery, choose install from sd card, browse down to that file, it might be all the way to the bottom, when you find it, select it to install, then reboot, voila!

Well technically we misuse the term ruu, since it's actually a exe you run on your computer.
What people usually mean by ruu is a zip that has official, stock HTC everything.
Rom, recovery, hboot, radio etc

Before you flash, you should know that if the RUU file you are using is not a rooted one, you may loose root by flashing it to your phone.There are rooted RUUs on XDA and I hope you are using one of them.
Now if you have downloaded the RUU file to your computer
1.Rename it as PH98IMG and put it on your SD card.
2. power off your phone (preferably by removing the battery and putting it back).
3. restart your phone by holding down volume down and the power button. Your phone will reboot to bootloader. The bootloader should automatically load the file you rename PH98IMG and ask you if you want to install the update.
4. Press volume up for YES. Bootloader will install the file. Follow the instructions to finish.

Well the top line in your bootloader should say something along the line of Unlocked or Tampered if it doesn't then you need to use HTC Unlock tool and unlock your bootloader again. If its locked you can't do anything. Check that out.

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.

Could you kindly provide me a link to the right topic. Do you think my phone is beyond repair ? Have I bricked it ?
I am running 4.0.3 ICS on Sense 3.6
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1902381
You are far FAR from being bricked. Softbricked yes, hardbricked no.

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:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ull-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/
That's global too, which seems to be what you'll need.

The bootloader screen says S-On. On top it says ***Tampered*** and below it ***UNLOCKED***.

Yes I rooted from a tool I found on android market. Noob me. So I do not have a recovery. I had downloaded the PH98IMG.zip and put it in my sd card and tried. The recovery starts and then shows a red exclamation and then nothing happens.
I was just trying different pages for help. Someone has mentioned that I should add the PH98IMG.zip as just PH98IMG and I shud not add the .zip. Thats the only thing left to try. I will post what happens when I do that.

What you'll have to do is relock your boot loader, flash the RUU and then unlock again. From there you should be able to flash a recovery and flash a rom.

Are you trying with the stock ROM ? If ure saving stock ROM as PH98IMG.zip, then try PH98IMG without the .zip typed in.

I am no expert to give u any suggestions but maybe if you could explain how it got bricked in the first place, someone might be able to give u a better solution mate.
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
Here's what fastboot shows:
TAMPERED
RELOCKED
SECURITY WARNING
Fireball pvt ship s-on rl
Hboot 1.15
Radio 1.53
opendsp v29.1.0.45
emmc-boot
It wouldn't read either of the mini sd-cards I used after rooting, so I can't just get use my sdcard with a new or original rom. I can't get to a main phone screen to turn on usb debugging, so no adp? Any ideas?

download the ruu rename it PJ53IMG THEN transfer it to your sdcard via your computer and put back in phone and boot to bootloader, it should pick up the PJ53IMG, AND ASK YOU IF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE, hit volume up to sat yes.(put sdcard in an adapter and put in your computer to transfer) Also you want 2.17.605.2 ruu software. make sure the zip is on the root of the sdcard(not in a folder, then make sure after you transfer that the file doesn't have 2 zips on it (PJ53IMG.ZIP.ZIP)YOU WANT ONLY ONE ZIP

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?
