Help - HTC Amaze 4G

I have have an htc amaze that is not soff or bootloader unlocked rmember it not .Tbad thing is my volume - button does work it wont let me boot into the bootloader mode to use the recover so i tried to use a regular Ruu to flash the phone . Once it got done it says please get the right update utility and retry flashing. Another thing is my memory card hasn't been working it stoped a month ago . I have been using this RUU RUU_Ruby_Globalive_WWE_1.46.1500.3_Radio_1.10.550L.01v2DC_30.69.550L.10_release_229312_signed
i know its not tmobile but hey on the stickies i dont see one for tmobile AS AN EXE file. If i plug in the phone and flash it i can get into what looks like the bootloader mode but wont let me do anything except for reflashing the phone. Im thinking i can only try to use an original ruu thats a tmobile version, BTW last operating installed was ice cream so that is what i have installed.
1 phone is stock
2 my volume - does not work (cant boot into bootloader )
3 memory card does not work

What?
I can't tell what you are trying to do here, but if it's a question this is the wrong place

Umm. If I understood right, you should be able to use adb commands to get into bootloader and everything without needing volume buttons. To be honest though is it your memory card? Or the phone won't read them, because if volume buttons aren't working and memory cards aren't either I'd be calling tmobile/htc
Edit: I don't know the adb commands offhand but Google should be able to help you find what you need or this forum could provide the info you need just look around.

Alright, do you have a T-Mobile RUU downloaded? If so, can you tell me where you got it from? I want to verify that you have the right version of the RUU.
I'm going to write a quick program that'll flash the RUU through USB cable, so please wait. If you haven't got the RUU, then please get the correct RUU while I write the script.
RUU:

You need a T-Mobile RUU. Download the one I gave you the link to in my last post.

I am, its downloading

skylinegtrvspec said:

While you wait, could you do a quick fastboot command to prepare for my script?
The command is:
fastboot erase cache
That's all.
When you're done downloading, let us know and then I'll post the script to flash the RUU.
Additional Instructions:
When it's done downloading, please rename the file to PH85IMG
If you do not, the script WILL not work.

ok i will ,its almost done like 5 mins left
ok ready File has been renamed to PH85IMG
and fastboot erase cache has cleared the cache all done

Alright, I've attached the tool. All you need to do is extract the script, and then put the batch file to your desktop. Also, put the PH85IMG.zip file to your desktop, but DO NOT extract it!
After that's done, double click on the RUUFlasher.bat file, and it should automatically start the process. Please make sure your phone is connected to your computer before running the script.
This will take up to 10 minutes, and after it's done, it will reboot your phone, and your phone should be up and running again!
Please post if you get any errors or issues, or just questions about this.
Good Luck!

Just want to know if your phone is a T-Mobile Amaze or not?

[HOW TO] S-ON and revert to stock for beginners V1.0

This is a tutorial to revert to 100% stock as like when you bought your phone! Read the whole entire thing before you start!
1)Download the RUU here:
http://www.multiupload.com/2QWMDPG2M8
2)Copy to the root of your sd card
3)Boot into bootloader by either using quickboot from market or pulling battery and holding power+volume down until you see bootloader.
4)Bootloader will scan for PG86IMG
5)Click power button to select install for the file
6)Bootloader will now install, you are now on the stock sprint ROM
7)Now plug your device in, and navigate to the fastboot setting from the menu and select it(power button)
8)Open CMD with the fastboot files in with the adb files
9)Run the command "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" without quotes
10)You should now be 100% stock unrooted and s-on!
Included is the fastboot and adb files, when you get to step 7 run the start here, and get into fastboot on your phone either through bootloader or typing 'adb reboot bootloader' while having your phone on charge only mode. then continue on your way to s-on
Download fastboot and adb files here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?90scvyi9a94cq
*Remember never do this with the eng hboot, you could brick, only do this on ship hboot!
I am not responsible for anything that happens to your device!
Maybe someone can convert this into a flashable zip that would automatically do the steps for you?
Thanks!
Updated !
Good job! I bet this will be of use.
Like my help? Thank me
Just so you know I posted a very "similar" thread hours ago: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193540
I didnt have the fast boot command in my instructions. Thanks for pointing that out! Its been a very long weekend so far. Havent slept since release... lol

make sure you type it in exactly, do you have adb setup right?
ok so i'm an idiot. i spent all this time waiting and waiting for s-off. now that it's here i went flash crazy over the last 18 hours. about ten minutes ago i had my phone on charge, it slipped out of my hand as i was taking the cable out and it landed on the cable still half in the charging port with the internals of a microusb sitting cockeyed in there and the plastic piece from the phones usb port was jammed into the cable's port. so here's my predicatment.... i need to get back to stock and s-on without adb. any ideas at all? if not i'm going to literally kick it to/on the curb and take it back to best buy tomorrow. i have to make sure that they don't try and keep my phone for a month while they "repair" it.
Thanks!!! i was waiting for someone to come out with a tut..
I'm pretty sure adb is setup right I been using it since the HTC vogue days....Idk what I'm doing wrong I guess ill just have to wait and see in the coming days....

Only thing I'm not getting is how to do the s-on part, maybe I'm overlooking something but can u explain that a little better? I can't make any texts and phone calls keep saying "error number 16" ever since I ran the revolutionary root and s-off process so I'm trying to at least go back to full stock in case I need to take it in
Cool! I will keep this handy for when I need to swap out parts with my Sprint Techy friend.

your problem is very common. simply call in to sprint and they can fix it on their end with the error 16. they shouldn't ask and you don't need to tell them you rooted, it's simply a provisioning issue. your phone is fine.

help..having a really bad problem formatting and flashing phone.

for some reason today i started getting random reboots here and there. when i got home i decided to wipe my phone and do a clean install. everything went well, successful wipe and complete flash of the rom, but when it restarted after the flash it was still the same as before. nothing changed, all my apps, wallpaper, settings everything had been untouched. i even did fastboot wipe userdata. it was like i didnt do anything at all. then i tried wiping my internal sd card, same thing successful wipe, but it all comes back again. i did it a couple of times from the phone settings and also from my computer. then i flashed the ruu from the bootloader, everthing flash normal but when it restarted nothing changed. also tried changing my recovery to cwm but that didnt work either. tried flashing the eng bootloader and it said fail-pu.
right now im running energy rom june 19th, 4 ext recovery, joupunutbear 1.93.2222
any help or advise would be great.

The outlook isn't good, sorry to say that. Most likely, the internal memory chips have failed. Basically, it won't write anymore on it, meaning what you have on it right now may be stuck, permanently. This is because of the "Fail-PU" error. Before doing anything like the wire trick below, try to ensure that the RUU you're trying to flash is a correct one. It would be great if you could get a picture (or describe) what it says when the ruu flash is done. But since you have problems wiping, this may not be the issue. Try the wire trick, as described below with caution.
Unfortunately, there isn't much you can do. I've heard that sometimes if you do the wire trick, it can temporarily fix the error. Heed this. Do the wire trick on its own, meaning do not connect the phone to a computer, or run the Juopunutbear's S-OFF program, or anything of that nature. Just do the exact same wire trick (same timing too) you did to obtain s-off, but without using the s-off program, or plugging it in the computer.
Keep us updated if that trick works for you.
It would also be a good idea to flash a RUU after doing the wire trick (again, without the s-off program, or plugging it in the computer!!!)
Again, best of luck!

no good. i pulled the battery as soon as the htc screen came on and also when the boot animation started. still getting the same results with the ruu.
i noticed this though. isnt it supposed to be bootloader instead of misc?
INFOaARM_Partion[0].name=misc
I'm assuming you know how to use fastboot, flash your stock SHP or ENG hboot via fastboot via:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip en_hboot.zip
Place the attached zip of choice be it sh or en in your adb folder and try those commands, let me know your results.
If he flashes eng hboot, redownloads ruu to ensure good download, and try flashing ruu in bootloader again... I bet it would work

Actually, I checked it out for my phone with fastboot oem boot too. It lists the partition 0 being the misc partition too. So I think that's fine. My device is fully functional (wipe/flash capabilities included) *knocks on wood* so I think that partition is normal.

You could try to claim warranty, but the thing is, it's already modified so most likely, they won't touch it. A fail-pu error usually means a hardware failure. Most likely, your chip failed and will not write any more.
Another thing you could try to do is brick it, and then claim warranty. You can always say that it turned off and never turned on again.

HTC usually has warranty too. The thing is, they will most likely refuse it if you have modified the phone.
Bricking can be easy. But, bricking with a Fail-PU error isn't always easy.

[Q] I think I flashed a corrupted RUU...please help

So I know I'm a dumb ass but here's what happened:
HTC Rezound S-off
Amon Ra 3.15
Hboot 2.27
ViperRez 1.0.3
My phone was acting a little buggy and my friend kept telling me I should flash a firmware update so I flashed
this " PH98IMG-firmware.zip - 33.02 MB " from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1835811&highlight=ruu&nocache=1
I checked the MD5 when I dl'd to PC BUT not when I copied to sd card. When flashing, all steps were successful except for 2: MDM9K - FAIL-UZ & RADIO_V2 - FAIL-UZ
I rebooted and got stuck at the white HTC screen. Battery pop and I tried to flash again. This time almost everything returned -- FAIL-PU except for the two above which still said FAIL-UZ.
Adding insult to injury I tried flashing two more RUU's from android police, I have a screenshot attached of one of my failed attempts.
ADB Devices doesn't recognize my phone but FASTBOOT devices returns a serial number. Boot loader also changes from " fastboot" to "fastboot-usb" when I plug into a PC but my PC doesn't see my phone.
I think it was a corrupted RUU because I decided to check the MD5 of a RUU on my sd card after the damage was done and it was bad. I then copied the same file over to my sd card a bunch of times, checking each MD5 and more than half the time they were bad.
I appreciate any suggestions anyone might have.
Sorry, thought I was in the Q & A section. (I already said I was a dumb ass)

Stinks to say but it looks like if you have bad blocks I don't think it can be fixed.
You can try unlocking and if it will unlock. Download a recovery. CWM. AmonRA. or TWRP. A fastboot command would be fastboot boot recovery.img or fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. Use the first command if you can't flash the recovery. If you can get a recovery to load. Flash a rom
Just an idea here. I would go here http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Vigor and down load one of the "EXE" RUU and try it. These are windows executables, so just double click on the file after downloading. Start with a ICS first and if that dont work try the GB

The .exe basically does the same thing as fastboot oem rebootRUU. Just does it for you in a GUI.
Wish I could help here but curious about something, if he some how flashed a bad dl of an ruu, which contains hboot, and radio's etc..I know that if you have a bad dl of an hboot, or radio and you flash it it would brick your phone. could it be possible he bricked his phone due to this same theory? Except by running an ruu, or could that even be a possibility when updating via ruu? Just my 2cent and ??

Maybe he can try flashing just the hboot then trying the ruu again

Agreed, he is s-off.. you can try doing everything seperately, make sure you check your md5s.. start with your hboot..

I just got home and my internet connection's out. I'm tethered to my OG droid right now and it is slooooooowww. When it rains, it pours.
" Stinks to say but it looks like if you have bad blocks I don't think it can be fixed.

I tried messing around in a linux terminal:
" Detect the device using the script provided. Type this in the terminal: ./brickdetect.sh "
(I got this from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1833530&page=6)
It said something like permission denied.
I'll try flashing an hboot...I had thought about that but since its the only thing working on my phone I was a little hesitant. First I have to get my internet back up and running. I'll check back later.
Everyones help is much appreciated.

Can't wait to hear if it worked. But as famouscollin said, check check and triple check that MD5. A bad hboot = permanent brick
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
Here are some confirmed working hboots, in case you were unsure of where to get them or which to use. They are based on the latest release, but have fastboot enabled without HTCDev unlock, and have the "LOCKED" at the top replaced with various other words.
Internet's back up but I won't have a chance to play with my phone until Tuesday night, so I'll post again when I have something to report. :good:

Not good. Nothing will flash. The only thing I have left to try is some fastboot erase commands. That might be the nail in the coffin though if I lose hboot.
Heres something else I tried...extracted the img from a RUU:
c:\mini-adb_vigor>fastboot flash mdm9k mdm9k.img

If your'e still around, when you say bad blocks, is that something physically wrong like fried or just that the blocks are not accessible? Even if my phone is toast, I'm still curious as to what exactly happened.
I've been rooting phones for a few years now and no matter how bad I messed up my phone, I've always been able to bring it back from the brink. I was starting to think that bricking your phone wasn't really possible. It's like your dog dying and learning about death for the first time.
That's weird, I've only seen the remote not allowed when the bootloader is locked and you are s on
Can you try and unlock even though you are s off?

A bad HBOOT will cause a bad block. I am not sure how I can explain it. But the original MD5 did not match the one you downloaded and so it was a bad flash but this time a bad flash that can't be undone.
I know this sounds crazy. But trying doing the wire trick again and if asked to flash HBOOT. Do it!

[Q] HTC Desire X (Meteor Ireland) bricked Help needed

Hello,
I have tried to flash a custom ROM to my htc desire x but unfortunetly I am a almost complete noob. I have been using Desire_X_All-In-One_Kit_v2.0 in order to complete the action. The problem is that i have never rooted the fone nor i have put in the recovery into it. So basically i unlocked the bootloader and thought it would all work.Well you know yourselfs it didn't.I have been looking all over the place for a way to get my phone fixed and i found one(ima Junior member can't post links yet ( Re-flash stock ROM (RUU) after bricking a rooted device)) .I have done all the steps but in step5 i get an error
C:\rec>fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img
sending 'recovery' (4266 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.795s]
writing 'recovery'...
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)

and in step 7 i get Error 140 bootloader error during RUU
Any help here would be greatly appreciated

First of all write down all you have written in bootloader screen.
It will be easy to fix it.

How do you mean? do you mean whats written when i enter the bootloader or what have I written in in the terminal ( eg. fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img)
Thanks a lot for your quick reply
Bootloader screen, when you enter bootloader.
Also, give me the version of RUU that you have.

There's a newer release 1.18.401.1 there's a link in Index in my signature, try to download that one and run it with phone booted in fastboot and attached to PC. If that doesn't go will try something else.

Great man!! thanks for help!! Could you just make it clear what i need in the folder with the ruu ?. its Adb.exe AdbWinAp.dll fastBoot.exe and the image file? is there anything else i would need? (as you see i know basically nothing about this)
It's not a folder its exe file, just run it from PC.

Sprint RUU (ZIP) 1.16.651.4 encrypted (s-on/s-off)

HTC preloaded some image files for the "stickers" in the duo effects camera. They are preloaded to /data/preload so you can either flash the zip at the bottom of the second post or manually copy them over to that directory. They (HTC) haven't fully implemented this yet... so you probably won't even notice them missing. The also preload calc and flashlight app this way too.
NOTE- This will work for S-on users provided their current software level is at or below this version. S-off users can user this either way.
OPTION 1)
Rename download file to 0P3PIMG.zip. Make sure you use an SD card formatted to fat32!! (otherwise the phone might not see it) Place file on physical SD card (not internal phone memory)... i repeat physical SD card. Boot up phone to bootloader mode and the phone will auto-detect the file and prompt to install it. Follow any remaining prompts to allow the RUU to flash the software to your phone.
-or-
OPTION 2)
Download file into working fastboot directory. Boot phone to fastboot mode and connect to pc. Type in the following commands.
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip RUU_T6_Sprint_WWE_1.16.651.4.zip
first time you run this it will be short... so run it a second time
fastboot flash zip RUU_T6_Sprint_WWE_1.16.651.4.zip
The command prompt output will show you details as it flashes each partition and will show you when it has completed. At this time the green bar on the phone will appear 99% of the way across the screen.. Completely normal!~ Issue the next command to kick it out of RUU mode or optionally flash the custom recovery TWRP if you intend to root/flash custom roms and THEN issue the below command to get out of RUU mode.
fastboot reboot
(note) if you just want to reboot back to bootloader you can issue the command fastboot reboot-bootloader This will allow you to boot directly to recovery and start flashing/rooting fun.
I don't own this model phone... so if someone would like to capture the output of the command prompt I would be happy to add it to the OP similar to how I have my VZW ruu threads.

Not a problem. Also, under my android file host I have a mini sdk zip. You try using that on your pc too...it's a newer version of Fastboot/adb. All you have to do is unzip it and use it from wherever you unzip it to.

It takes a while ~5mins, it loads the file, then checks the signature, and then says ROM parsing start (for 5 seconds) and then tells me to press the power button to reboot.

You have to do it twice if the first time is short. Sometimes it can only update certain files first.
You are s off right?

OK... so if you aren't S-off AND this firmware is older than what you have it will fail. Only S-off can downgrade. You guys don't have a newer RUU yet and there were two OTAs after this one. Definitely S-off that thing while you still can (assuming it's not too late).

I have developer edition device and have ruu for it to stock jellyben
But I found that I can't flash the ruu to go back to jellyben from sense 6 firmware and the error was the same as mentioned above in other comments .. android info fail too many links
And after a lot of trials, I found that the rug is fine not damaged so I flashed the firmware if sense 5.5 and then tried the ruu again and it works perfect
So from my point , I think that older jb ruus can't be flashed if u have sense 6 firmware
So only I need tho flash firmware zip of sense 5.5 not the whole system the try the ruu again although both sense 6 and sense 5.5 have hboot 2.49 but I think that the one that came with sense 6 have some modifications
Also I tried to flash from sd card but no go so the only solution is flashing hboot of sense 5.5
Maybe it's the same with Sprint devices but I think that it will be the same

Either way....without being s off you can't downgrade firmware anyways. On my vzw rezound, m7, m8, and t6 I can simply flash ruus up or down all day long.

Yes I know that I should be s-off
And that's why I said I should downgrade first to sense 5.5 firmware then flash the ruu
And I won't be able to downgrade without s-off
So I was writing only about the error when I already have a-off because it took me 2 days till I found this fix after many trials
posted a current RUU for s-off users here...

IF sunshine doesn't work on your current rom (have you tried running it yet).... you need to unlock your bootloader and flash a 100% stock older rom. Then use that to s-off. Then flash whatever rom you want and sim unlock.
