I'm trying to root my new amaze..however, I go to the htcdev website, register, hit amaze 4g, and begin boot loader unlock.. nothing. Didn't go to another page or anything. Any help?

Try again? Make sure you're hitting the right links, etc? If you're doing it on a phone I'd advise you to get access to a PC, since you'll be needing info from the phone itself.

I am doing it on a pc. There are really just 3 things to do..login, select your device, and hit the begin button.

Hit the unlock bootloader option from the very first screen when you go to the site.

It's seems and I'm not when or why but Rom built it install kernels for s on phone is not loading the ph98img file, at least not for me when it use to. Also my computer no longer recognizes fastboot, I get a device not found message. The only way I've been able to install kernels is zips thru recovery then bootloader will work. This is all new, I'm not a noon but never experienced this before. All suggestions are greatly appreciate ...

This is in the wrong section. And also if fastboot doesnt work you should try reinstalling the drivers.
Edit: RUUing also helps with issues, if it will load the RUU. If not im not sure but i think you can use a exe RUU but im not sure if there are any made for ics.

Just fyi, this should not have been posted in development. So since that has been said hopefully flaming wont start.
I had issues with fastboot when using the oem cord or mhl micro usb cord. I still use a regular micro usb cord.

If you downloaded HTC sync to get the drivers then look in the bottom right corner on your taskbar and find the HTC sync icon, right click and exit it

Are there any downsides to leaving the boot loader unlocked? It's not much of a hassle to lock it back, I just wasn't sure why it would matter if it was unlocked or locked.
Why would you want to lock it?

Just lock the bootloader only if you're sending the phone back to Verizon.

Thanks, I have been messing with Samsung phones and it's not something I've messed with before so I wasn't sure if there was an actual reason to do it.
You can lock it back easily through fastboot..

looks like you need to start the adb server manually for adb and fastboot to work

So you picked it up from Verizon that way? If so boot in to download mode (power on holding the volume down button, then press volume up) and see if Write protection is Enabled. You'll have to pull the batter to get out of download mode.
Update I checked it again now and haven't rebooted or done anything still. And now it says official. This is so weird... I'm not the first to see this either. Maybe the device is randomly unlocking and locking the bootloader. Cuz I rebooted like four total times. And once it said unlocked custom. And checked status a couple times and it's always official but that one time. Previous post. I just picked up the phone today. Haven't rooted yet either. I don't wanna root until bootloader and roms and everything are set to go. I hate stock but it is what it is for now.

Up this still makes no sense what if I need to bring to Verizon I'm bone stock and it sometimes says custom on reboot and in device status as well. Both change. I know I'm not the only one. And I'm not rooted or anything. Bone bone stock... Should I return?..
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
No I'm not bs. I've had it say custom unlocked on rebooting once out of like the four times total. And this will say original or custom randomly certain times of the day? Like the phone unlocks the bootloader and relocks at different hours?

That's bs, take it back........Even if you plan to unlock the boot loader down the road, you don't need to be dealing with the inconsistency of the stock boot loader locking and unlocking itself when it feels like it.
I saw another person with the same issue but I think was rooted I've had it for a day. I don't want to return it if other people have the same issue. I need more feedback.

Has your new phone had any issues yet. Any signs of it. Should I try and exchange?

Seeing how there are a few people with this issue and probably people that have it and don't even know. This may be just a software bug which is why I'm hesitating to exchange and get a phone worse off.

If your running any aftermarket kernels or kernel mod apps and have the "set on boot" active, it will trigger the custom logo.

Ok guys, I've looked everywhere so don't flame me please, lol. My wife needs to return her phone cuz it won't hardly charge. How do I get back to stock? Meaning, where do I find the stock Rom, how do i do it etc. Thanks in advance for the help.

Even if the phone is rooted. If it's an actual charger port issue then Tmobile would replace it anyways. I think. But first return to STOCK by flashing the RUU. (I would give you a link but I'm sure you will find it faster on your computer then I would on my phone).
I'm never too sure though. I think there is a way to change the bootloader to-day "LOCKED" but idk what it was.

Hey have you flashed correct RUU.??
Bcoz many people tried it and it is worked for them very well..
Try again.
No issue of relocked.
Bcoz relock status will be shown if you lock your bootloader through oem lock process.
Try to follow next step...
