RUU problem Please Help. - HTC Amaze 4G

Got an Amaze to check out from a friend. Only boots directly into the bootloader, started a thread in the wrong area and was told it was an RUU problem. Now my issue is, how do I figure out which RUU it would be to replace? It would of been on t-mobiles network, but other then that I dont know. Do I have to go through them one by one until I get one that works?

There is a thread in dev section. It's dedicated to all ota and ruu. They are labeled by carrier. Find the one you need

So just try them until I find them? I am already on that thread, and Im attempting my second one now.

---

I had to look through stone of the early posts to get the right one. It's not all that hard bro

Ok I just wasnt sure if there was a way to find out what the proper one should be. There is like 6 of them so it should be too bad. Unless its the one that is on the server that they are updating and that I cannot download.

---

5 down. The only one left is the one I cant get.

---

Seems like that server is going to be down for a while.

---

Ok apparently I am doing something wrong. I put the RUU on my SD, the phone boots into the bootloader and I sellect bootloader. After a second it goes to SD checking ... And finds the PH85img.zip and loads it. Then it checks and goes back to the bootloader, then I restart and it goes straight back into the bootloader.
Doing a search it looks like the phone is supposed to ask if I want to update and its not.

---

Are you putting it on the external sdcard or internal sdcard. And it also should be named PH85IMG.zip

I am putting the file on the SD card and putting it in the SD slot in the back by the SIM, so I assume thats the external SD. And yes I did properly rename it.

Is your bootloader relocked?

---

Yes,it says relocked at the top.

Okay, this time, try inputting the following text in the filename:
PH85IMG
without the ".zip" part and put it on the SDCard, take out your battery, put it back in and then hold volume down and hit power
It should now correctly detect the file.

---

Also what version is your HBoot?

---

HBoot says 1.90.0008. The file is properly named. My computer is set to show file extensions so its only .zip once.

I renmaed correctly, ran hboot did check what was going on and then it comes back to the hboot man screen. When i reboot though, i am back to my regular gb and everything works like before.
so if you do not mind, I'll follow what's on here because i feel it is when I need to be...

You are trying to use the OTA's instead of the RUU's. The OTA's have different file structures, so that is why it isn't finding the images it needs.. if I remember correctly, there is a different method for using the OTAs. Ruu's work better imho.
All of your problems can be solved by hitting the bible in my signature, then finding the part of upgrading firmware.
The original RUU's were posted by football, these are HIS files.. download http://www.filefactory.com/file/5p9....17DC_30.78.550L.15_release_259626_signed.zip , rename as you were instructed, put on external SD, and you will have no more issues.
his other files are here: http://www.filefactory.com/f/40bba0821a54f264/

I downloaded the RUU from this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1617644 They are listed as RUU/OTA, so its possible thats the problem. I am downloading the one you linked and I will try it as soon as its done.

I assumed you are on TMO since you're in florida, if you are using a different carrier, you have to choose the appropriate one from the link you posted..
If your friend bought a phone that is on a different carrier, you have to flash the RUU for that carrier, or you have to s-off than supercid I believe.. but as long as you know it is a tmobile carrier than you're good to go.
Technically the one called "PH85IMG_RUBY_ICS_35_S_TMOUS_2.14.531.3_Radio_1.14. 550L.17DC_30.78.550L.15_release_259626_signed.zip" on the link you posted should have worked.. not sure if you tried that one specifically yet.
