Hi a, I am freaking out here about my amaze.
I have successfully got to S-off after 5 tries and i have flashed TWRP 2.0.0 from hasoon tool kit. But now i am stuck at the juopunutbear screen with the green arrow, the phone would go into bootloader mode and also into twrp revovery mode, however i cannot get the dam thing to load any roms. I cannot mount the external sd card so I cant install the stock rom even if it relock the bootloader.
Can I reload stock rom with S-off ?, i have been reading and reading now i am lost
i have been looking for 5 hours and I am need some help please.
is my phone bricked or am i not doing some thing right. nothing besides the the green screen and bootloader
My bootloader is also unlocked and I am (was) running stock ICS was about to install energy rom.
Would really appreciate all the help guys
ok update guys, when I flash the stock rom recovery fron hasoon tool kit I am sseeing the phone with a red triange and unside down i mark.
it shows unlocked and S-off
Hboot 1.9.2005
eMMC-boot
phone was rooted and super user using stock ICS,
this all happened when I did the S-off
No back up phone and I need it for monday
Flash the RUU, then flash recovery then flash a Rom or root.

Put the sd card in a sd reader rename the ruu to PH85IMG and put it in the sd card no other folder just on the card itself boot into bootloader and it should start updating on the top right corner just let it do its thing and ul be good to go....hit thanx if I helped....
Doesn't sound like you did S-Off. Go into bootloader. Does it say ***Locked*** or ***Unlocked***

This is if your S-on
1. Get AMAZE A I O tool 2. get the RUU of the ICS release from somewhere on these forums 3. from AIO TOOL Flash Stock Recovery, 4. from AIO tooLLS Commands - relock BOOTLOADER 5. Make sure you have the PH85IMG_RUBY_ICS_35_S_Sjust PH85IMG.zip and it's on the ROOT of your SD CARD 6. Reboot into BOOTLOADER and it will load this file, it will reboot 2X and you will boot into normal ICS 7. Unlock bootloader again from AIO Tools 8. install 4EXT recovery from AIO Tools 9. BOOT INTO recovery now, which is 4ext 10. factory reset, delete devik / cache and install

Why are you flashing a custom recovery? Flash the PH85IMG and let it boot properly at least once.

I recently went to change my ROM on my HTC amaze, but after I was finished installing it went to reboot and ever since no matter what I do, it just stays on the white htc screen. The only thing I can get to is into Recovery. I locked boot loader and unlocked it and after doing so I noticed it said S ON. How do I turn s off while stuck in recovery mode? Im using the ZurgRushTemp root but it says that I need my phone in usb debugging mode and I dont know how to do that in recovery mode. If I sound like a total idiot it's probably because I am. Previously I have unlocked boot loader and rooted my phone and downloaded other roms and it worked fine. I have no fricken clue what happened. Please help me.. How do I s off to install another rom while I can only get into recovery mode?
What recovery did you flash?
If its not 4EXT then you need to flash the kernel using fastboot.

The bootloader screen reads

just get the stock RUU for your phone. Re-lock your bootloader. Rename what you downloaded to PH85IMG.zip. place it in the root directory of your external SD card. reboot your phone into HBOOT and it should automatically flash the stock recovery and ROM. this WILL wipe your phone clean. then you can unlock the bootloader, root it, flash a custom recovery then a ROM of your choice.

Unlocking the bootloader won't change your phone into s-off. So, what you see is correct.
Forget about ZergRush. It won't work, or necessary at all if you unlocked your bootloader, anyway.
Edit: I forgot to mention. Try 'adb logcat' to see if your phone even gets to the boot sequence. If you see your screen gets filled up with tons of stuff, hit control-c to stop it. Then enter adb logcat > logfile.txt to capture it. You can post it here for someone to take a look.
If you can get into bootloader and/or recovery, your phone isn't in a bad shape at all. If you can access your phone from a pc with adb or fastboot (which, you should have if you've unlocked your bootloader), there are things you can try.
1. boot your phone into recovery and see if you can access it through adb shell. Do you see a shell prompt ('$' or '#' sign)? On the phone, use the mount option to mount system and data partitions to see if they are mountable. You can use 'ls -l' on the shell prompt to look around, if you like.
2. If your phone is accessible, but not bootable, the first thing I would try is to flash a boot image. You probably have one sitting in the pc folder you used to unlock, or hanson's all-in-one tool has it.
3. If you flash a fresh boot image (kernel) and the phone still won't boot up, the next thing I would try is to restore from a nandroid backup. I'm sure you've made a backup before you started, right?
4. If the nandroid restore doesn't work, you can try flashing a stock rom like someone elese suggested. You just copy the zip file, which you download from the stock rom thread in the dev section, to the external sd card, rename it to PH85IMG.zip, and reboot your phone into the bootloader. The phone will detect the stock rom if it's there and asks you whether to install the update or not. Remember to download the correct file for your carrier.
5. If nothing works, come back here and post your result. I'm afraid your phone may have a corrupt nand memory...

You used the wrong image, went about using that ota file incorrectly as well, Oh boy, ite, let's keep our fingers crossed on this.
You said your hboot was 1.93.0002? Correct? If you're s-on, this may or may not work, lets hope it does, since's it practically your only hope, though I wonder what your cid currently is set to.
Since you did s-off, you should know how to use adb. Shut the phone off via battery pull, boot up into hboot then go into fastboot, using adb check your cid via this command: fastboot getvar cid
Let me know what it is when you're done, we'll work from there, hopefully we can get this done.
sorry, forgot to pull sd card so it ran the PH85IMG twice,
the cid is
11111111

Cid is 11111111 and you're s-on? Lucky you, well download the mobilicity GB stock ruu exe file, reboot into fastboot and run the file to restore your phone to complete stock GB, hopefully it goes through, though I don't see why it wouldn't, if you're s-on, you'll have to relock your bootloader before doing this.
Thanks! hopefully it'll work

You can download the ruu from the ruu/ota thread in the same forum, the dev host upload by krook is much faster.
Do not change the name of that file, it's an exe file, you have to run it via a pc with your phone connected via usb cable in fastboot mode.
after fault to s-off
i did ROM/Data Recovery
now my phone alway boot to 4ext
Reload a stock ruu.
Find the stock ruu for your carrier and restore your device to stock, you will have to relock the boot loader to do so if you're son.

Use hasoons tool to relock it, may take a few tries until it relocks, by the way, though s-off may fail on the first try, doesn't mean you should give up, just keep trying till you're successful, a paper clip works great and don't forget to check that the pin hole isn't blocked, use a sharp pin to clear it if it is.

When you restore a stock ruu you need to let the device fully boot at least once, therefore restore the stock again and let it boot into android before trying to mod it.

If you restore it to stock, even with a locked bootloader, it should boot into android just fine, you're not telling us something or you're doing something you shouldn't be.

Why are you using an OTA file? It won't work via Hboot. What carrier are you on and are you s-on or s-off?
If you are t mobile phone, s off and unlocked bootloader, download this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28517406#post28517406
Then boot to recovery, wiped everything, data, dalvik, cache. Power off phone and removed sd card, put in computer and format card, not copy the zip over that you just downloaded and boot into recovery. Selet install from sd card and select the zip you just put on there. If this doesnt work, send me your phone and call it quits.

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
Rename file to PH98IMG and put in the root of your sd, then flash it in bootloader.

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.

Did you see a a vertical bar working on the top right of your phone? If the PH98IMG loads correctly, there should be a message in red at the bottom asking if you want to start the update.

So when you fastboot flash recovery recovery.img that appeared to work? If so did you try fastboot erase recovery first?

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.
Edit:
It should look something like the attached image.

Have you checked to make sure the proper driver is installed? Are you using windows?
oK SO I GONE THROUGH AND TRIED TO FIND A WAY TO GET MY AMAZE TO WORK- I USED HANSOON TOOL TO UNLOCK AND ROOT MY DEVICE. iM ROOTED AND I DO NOT HAVE S OFF. eVERYTHING HADF BEEN FINR AFTER ROOTING THE PROBLEM SEEM TO START AFTER TRING TO M,AKE A NANDROID BACKUP IN TWRP RECOVERY AFTER IT FINISHED I TRIED TO RESTART AND ALL I GET IS THE HTC LOGO SCREEN- I HAVE GONE IN AND TRIED INSTALLING THE RRI FILES I BEILEVE AND STILL HAVE HAD NO LUCK DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY HELP U CAN SUGGEST TO GET MY PHONE BACK UP AND RUNNING- MY BOOTLOODERS ARE UNLOCKED I CAN GET TO FAST BOOT AND HBOOT- AND CAN GET TO RECOVERYBUT WONT LOAD
First of all you need to ditch twrp and flash 4ext recovery, especially if u are s-on. Then reflash the custom Rom of your choice, not an ruu.
I'm guessing u meant to say RUU where u said RRI files. To flash an ruu u would flash it through bootloader and would have to have a locked bootloader to do it.

here's a way to return to stock RUU, you need the all-in-one toolkit from hasoon2000
download this file Here and rename it to PH85IMG.zip (this file is for ICS) the older one for GB didnt work for me
use the "Relock Bootloader" command on hasoon's toolkit to relock your bootloader (i received a security warning when doing so, but still worked)
place the PH85IMG.zip file on the root of your SD Card
turn off device and remove the battery. Reinsert the battery then simultaneously hold the volume down and power buttons (to boot fastboot)
Fastboot will detect the image file on your external storage. After it loads, accept the "update" - this will revert you to stock (including recovery and radio).

simple solution
Step 1: Boot phone into bootloader by removing battery then placing battery back in phone then turning phone on by holding VOL down and Power button
Step 2: use hansoons AIO toolkit while in bootloader to flash 4EXT recovery
Step 3: boot into recovery and use 4EXT's to mount your phone to the PC using their "toggle USB storage" feature which lets you access your SD card while in recovery
Step 4: place another ROM on your phone, and then disconnect phone from PC
Step 5: do a full system wipe before you flash new rom, Format DATA SYSTEM CACHE+DELVIK
Step 6: FLASH Rom you placed on SD CARD previously
Step 7: After flashing rom successfully go back into 4ext recovery or download 4ext recovery control, and make a NANDROID backup in-case you fk **** up later or again
STEP 8 ( HIT THAT THANKS )

Wait, you are confusing me now. Are you trying to flash a custom Rom or do you want to return to stock and flash an RUU? Two totaly different processes
And to answer your question you would use hasoon's toolkit to flash 4ext

Well since u are already unlocked and have a custom recovery u may as well try and get a custom Rom flashed since flashing an RUU will require u to relock your bootloader.
So start out by using hasoons toolkit and flash 4ext.

No, not to flash a custom Rom. As long as you were already on ics, then u can flash any of the custom ics roms..

yes you can flash any custom ICS/JB rom as long as your using 4EXT recovery with smart flash enabled with S-ON.. but i'm not sure if there's any JB rom's for the amaze with DATA working, CM9/10 AOKP all have problems with the data , if you want JB you might have to go with JB ICS themed rom.. like Fourth Bar Infusion.. i think Speed Rom also..
I have HTC Amaze 4G Asian version s-on unlocked. A few days back, I put my mobile on charging. Suddenly I saw it was restarted and then stuck on htc logo. After waiting some time, I plugged the battery out and put on charging again. After a couple of hours, I tried to turn it on but it did not. After making some attempts, I came to know that the battery had been damaged. I bought a new battery and tried to switch on the mobile. This time, the mobile turned on but stuck at htc logo. I went to bootscreen and tried to run 4EXT recovery but the recovery did not open. I tried to reinstall recovery with All-in-one-toolkit but failed.
Then I tried to flash ph85img.zip but it did not work. I tried Mainver Error Fix with AIO toolkit but it did not work. I tried to relock my mobile with AIO toolkit but it was also unable to find the device (driver has successfully been installed and tested).
Now I am worried because I am not able to recover my phone with any of the ways I know. I have also tried HTC Amaze Unbrick Project in UBUNTU but it was not able to detect any bricked device.
The mobile now turns on but does not go beyond htc logo. By pressing volume down + power key, it goes to HBOOT and BOOTLOADER but cannot load RUU flash or recovery.
Please help me how to recover it and make it working.
Hello..
1st of all your Mobile is not hard bricked so you may not try that unbrick project now.
2nd thing I am pretty sure that you're following all steps on that stuck screen.
But to use that AIO tool you must be in bootloader or fastboot to execute their commands.
3rd
To flash that RUU , the file must be on external SD card.
So conclusion is that restart your phone in bootloader/fastboot then try to flash that 4ext recovery.
And then flash gb Rom because you're s -on and having Asian amaze so there is no chance that you have ics Rom.
Download that gb Rom from Asian guide of aj to upgrade amaze in general section. And flash it through 4ext.
Hit that thanks button if I helped you

I tried AIO toolkit while the phone was in fastboot usb mode but it did not work.
I tried RUU with external sd card but the bootloader detected the file and stopped after reading the whole file.
I am not able to run 4ext. I am not able to reinstall 4ext or any other recovery software either.

Rename your file to PH85IMG.zip and place it on your sdcard.
Some times what happens.. That when you rename that file then the file name may like ph85img.zip.zip due to hidden extension in Windows.
So make sure that it's only ph85img.zip not ph85img.zip.zip..
And try again..

I have already tried that. It did not work either.
If your phone is s-on you have to turn on smart flash I'm 4ext recovery for it to work properly, I would just sideload using the amaze toolkit

I cannot go to 4ext. When I select "recovery" in hboot menu, my mobile restarts and then sticks at HTC logo.
I had the same problem first flash 4ext recovery then, use the amaze toolkit and click flash rom it should take you to a hidden section of the phone that will show a black screen and blue htc logo on the screen, you should at the very least be able to go into recovery turn on smart flash and then re flash the rom so everything goes through

To do anything You must have recovery access.. So first try to access your recovery anyhow..
Because without that it's not possible to gain your mobile again..

Then how can I recover? PHIMG will not work and 4EXT is nor opening neither flashing. Does it mean the cell has been damaged permanently?

Thank you very much. I was able to flash recovery and 4ext is now loading. However, when I go to bootloader > recovery, it loads 4ext and then 4ext always shows "preparing for boot". After sometime, 4ext restarts the cellphone and its keeps on restarting again and again. I am not able to enter into 4ext menu. Will you suggest some solution to it please?

no you cant flash a ruu from recovery, ruus can be flashed only through bootloader.. and to that you must be S OFF or you must have a branded amaze 4G
