Background
I had already unlocked my phone using the HTCdev site.
I downloaded and installed clockwork recovery v5.8.1.4 using rom manager.
Issue
I can get to recovery but once there anything that I select gives me a black screen with the clockwork recovery icon in the middle. even if I have a zip file in my sdcard it won't read it.
I can't access my backups, I can't flash any image. everything was wiped. if I try to boot, I get the white screen that says HTC, and then a black screen.
If anyone could help me with this I would be very appreciative
Attempts at solving the problem
I read that there was an issue with clockwork before posting here and I tried to install Amon Ra's recovery. I tried the latest version 3.14 but when I try to fast boot it, I get the message "main version is older! Update Fail!"
Does your phone have the OTA? I'm on mainver 2.x and just flashed Amon Ra v3.14 with no problem. Fastboot doesn't usually care about mainver anyway.
You can try using the new Awesome Recovery Tool that con247n made but I think you have to flash Amon Ra in fastboot:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497984
What mainver are you on? Find out with this command:
fastboot getvar all
If you are coming from ICS to GB then you need to flash a GB kernel.
I just reread your post and you said everything was wiped. You can try using testdisk to get that stuff back so you can use one of your nands. Here's a post I just made about that:
feralicious said:
I made a post upthread about testdisk. It's free and should get your files back. I pm'd info to the person who posted their external was wiped and they thanked me then thanked me agian a couple days later so I assume it worked for them, which means the wipe must just delete and not reformat.
http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
I got all my nands and TiBUs off my external that stopped being read by phone or computer. I have gotten all my data, even that which had been deleted, off drives that every computer said needed to be initialized. Does what people charge thousands of dollars for.
You may have to pull the cards out and mount them on the pc, I can't remember if I tried to use testdisk while they were in the phone but I think I did and it didn't find them.
It will look like it's not going to work on the card but it does. After you select the drive and it comes up with the partition table list, select [None].
Then select [Analyse]
Can't recall exactly what happened next, I think it mentioned errors with the partition etc... but it listed the correct size of the card as if it were empty so I proceeded and then bam, it listed all my files. Copied them all off no problem.

I did not install the OTA update, I am only able to get to the HBOOT screen which is HBOOT-2.10.0000.
I have a backup that I made before the running clockwork, I had that saved to my SDcard, I am not too attached to it and would want to just flash a new rom, I had gingerbread and was trying to go to ICS

When I was in clockwork I hit the power button to get to the menu items, I would press the volume up and down to navigate. when I select the update from zip, i get the icon, and nothing else. If i press the power button it brings me back to the menu i was at prior but no option takes me further than a black screen with the icon.

I edited my post above since I didn't see the responses, there's info there about getting your nands off your external card.
So you must be on 1.x then. You can download and run the RUU for mainver 1.x, then accept the OTA and you'll be stock and updated. Then you can retry flashing Amon Ra and reroot.
You have to relock first:
fastboot oem lock
I am going to do that right now.
I tried downloading "The Root Thread: Currently Unlocked Bootloader, S-ON and Perm Root" but the links are dead.
I've been trying to download the one for my version and filefactory is too busy. I was just looking for an alternate download location and saw this one for v1.x:

They also made it as a zip you can flash in hboot if you prefer. Pretty sure the one you need is 1.02.605.6
Here's the filefactory link just in case:

Thanks for the links, I tried the dropbox links and they are all 404ing is there. I haven't tried the filefacotry ones since I have no clue how to install them.

Also... I know you can't use an RUU that has an older mainver than the one you have but I'm not sure about going to a newer mainver RUU. It seems that the link I just posted is working so that's the safest route, but if you can use the newer RUU then here is a working link for that, I just downloaded it myself:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22045045&postcount=58
Maybe if someone else reads this and knows if it's okay to use the 2.x version on your 1.x phone they can chime in. But you might want to grab it while you can in any case for future use.

That looks like it's what you need. You'd just need to rename the file before you flash it.
The ones that are not PHzips but are .exe files you just run on your computer by double clicking on them.
Cwm uses the home button to select, not power
Okay, I got an answer in the RUU thread that you can use the 2.x RUU and that will bring you up to date. So if you haven't already run the 1.x version and gotten the OTA you can just run the one from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22045045&postcount=58
You just need to relock the phone, have the phone in hboot and double click the file you download on your computer. Then you should be on hboot 2.11 I think it is and have new radios and a few other goodies.
Then you can move on to flashing Amon Ra, installing su in the developer menu of that and you'll be stock rooted with the update.
I hope that the PH98img works. I've been fighting the exact same issue all day. RUU would let me get close to then end, but then I would get a security error 155 before it flopped.
Does anyone know if the battery will still be able to charge when the phone is in this state? If not, I may not have enough battery to install the PH98IMG.

Any suggestions for "fastboot oem lock" not working? Mine just goes to "waiting for device".
Without the lock, the RUU still gives the 155 security error before failing.

Ding! Ding! You got it! Thanks!
After relocking the Rezound, the RUU still would not load.
I was able to amonra recovery.img and finally get into clockwork recovery. Since my mainver was newer than the RUU, I had to move ahead to ICS...which is looking pretty good so far.

Fyi... there are work arounds to the mainver issue in case you want to go back to a GB ROM. There's a new tool by con247 called Awesome Recovery Tool that will help with that. You can find it in the dev section.
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.

You could find Amon Ra 3.15 recovery in a zip that can be renamed PH98IMG.zip
and reinstall recovery. Your immediate problem may be solved, but if you have time, you can do more.
Amon Ra lets you look at either internal drive: your sdcard or the phone's storage:
toggle the sdcard, attach to computer, and remove the PH98IMG of just-installed Amon Ra recovery.
Now find the Android Police 4.03 version (large download if correct) , make sure the md5's match for it, and
copy it to extrenal sdcard renamed as PH98IMG.zip. It will run 1 1/2 times then boot
up to operating system. Many people say to do another reinstall and/or one or more Factory Resets at this point:
one from Seup- Storage - Factory reset with phone "on". Another factory resey is availble
by booting to recovery and choosing Reset. It's a good idea to do one or both style resets before
you reinstall a recovery. Every time you run an RUU or a zip that replaces the ROM, you have
to reinstall that Recovery. To avoid no-charging situations, I'd advise keeping Amon Ra 3.15.
Now you're at the point you can root and play with this powerful handset.

copy it to extrenal sdcard renamed as PH98IMG.zip. It will run 1 1/2 times then boot
up to operating system. Many people say to do another reinstall and/or one or more Factory Resets at this point:
one from Seup- Storage - Factory reset with phone "on". Another factory resey is availble
by booting to recovery and choosing Reset. It's a good idea to do one or both style resets before
you reinstall a recovery. Every time you run an RUU or a zip that replaces the ROM, you have
to reinstall that Recovery. To avoid no-charging situations, I'd advise keeping Amon Ra 3.15.
Now you're at the point you can root and play with this powerful handset.

ok so download amon ra and then check md5 but the only problem im encountoring so far is I don't know how to check md5 I've gone to my roms page (link on first page last post) and I can't seem to find where I can check the md5 and I do have time today and I don't really feel like reinstalling/reseting if I don't have too

Download MD5 checker from the play store. Load the PH98IMG as file 1, then paste the md5 from the amon ra thread into the second text area. Then press the button.

bump and another cry for help so I installed the latest ruu, bootloader got locked and recovery got erased, so i installed amon ra 3.15 as per the instructions up there, where do I go from here? what else do I install I'm having the same problems from first post... how do i check md5 if I can't boot into the phone? any more help will be appreciated
actually just by looking at my bootloader could it be possible that the global ruu didn't get install? this is the info I have when I hold power and vol -

2.27 is the newst Global firmware.
When you boot, are you still seeing something from MikRoms?
If yes, your RUU installation didn't work.
I'd use Amon Ra to wipe:
every choice several times and reinstall the whole Android Police 4.03 PH98IMG.zip.
If you don't get a nice clean oem-style stock bootup after that, then the RUU is suspect, may need
to get from another source.

yup I get the mikroms thing again guess it didn't work when I wipe my data do I wipe ALL data/factory reset and does this include my SD card when it gets wiped or no?
.
yeppers:
in AmonRa, take Wipe, then do each one including the internal and external Sdcards
and dalvik cache and everything else a coupla times..
The RUU ought to have undone everything else in your phone incl MikMik, so it may
not be a good one.
After all wipes, put it back onto your external card as PH98IMG and flash twice.
If all is well, you'll have a fine virgin install ready to be rooted and messed with.

after you relock your bootloader download this file and rename it to PH85IMG (.zip extention) then place it on the root of your sd card.. then reboot the phone into bootloader and install that zip.. that should flash you back to the STOCK t-mobile ICS amaze

How many times do we need to emphasize this? You DO NOT flash this in recovery!
And we have said that you have to put this in your EXTERNAL sd card, NOT internal.

the file is already in a .zip format you just need to rename it.. and you dont flash it from fastboot.. when you boot into the bootloader the file should be recognized right away and prompt you to install a "update" which will reset your phone back to ICS stock from t-mobile

Now you suggested to use a file for T-Mobile users, we are both on Mobilicity, so I don't think your suggested file will work. So I need some clarification here on how to get to stock ICS, which file do we let the bootloader flash, is it the OTA or the RUU. I downloaded both mobilicity files from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1617644
Now the RUU is a exe file, while the OTA is a zip file. I have let the bootloader flash both the OTA & the RUU renamed to PH85IMG.zip. The boatloader recognizes the file, I see a blue bar that appears in the top right corner that fills up, and then a brown bar that fills up. But after that, nothing happens. What do we do to get to stock rom?

okay the security warning doesn't mean anything.. its just a warning from your phone saying your bootloader was relocked recently... and stock roms are located in my signature now... try the one for mobile city located there the 4.0.3 ICS one there's only 2 ones for ICS and the other is for GB

restoring takes a long time after you start it just leave the phone alone untill it reboots... but make sure to try one of the RUU's located in my signature

i've uploaded the correct image for the last screenshot, but what happens is that the files are extracted but then nothing happens after that, it just stops.

Try RUU from the one on Neo's android revolutions... I did and was able to take both updates(there is a minor update then the official global update).

If for some reason you can't load the ph98img.zip, you have another option.
First, if you are still on 3.14.605.12, load 3.14.605.13 from stock recovery:
http://www.wizwire.net/vigor/OTAPkg-3.14.605.13.zip
Then, download the otapkg.zip for 4.05.605.14 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40757466&postcount=19 and load it in stock recovery:
Use the volume buttons to scroll and the power selects your option.
If selected stock recovery:
-Wait for stock recovery to boot (wait for red triangle with explanation point), once loaded, volume up button + power button will bring up stock recovery menu
-Use volume buttons to scroll, power button to select option.
