Hello All sorry for another post like this but no matter what I have tried I can't seem to get this work even though I have don eit many times before with other device and would really apreaciate any help.
I have the T-Mobile amaze that I did the junopuntbear on a while back and am trying to restock to send back to t-mobile for warranty issues with camera button not working any more and Tmo will send another of the same unit.
But when I try and run the ruu like I have done many times before with other devices don't seem to work or even be recognized by the phone
I have downloaded both versions of the newest versions of the tmo ruu and renamed to PH85IMG.zip to the external sd card and when booting into bootloader it don't seem to find it or ecknowledge that its there.
I even tried it on internal memory and still no luck
I have used the following two files
RUBY_ICS_35_S_TMOUS_2.14.531.3_R2_Radio_1.14.550L. 17DC_30.78.550L.15_release_262141_signed.zip
PH85IMG_RUBY_ICS_35_S_TMOUS_2.14.531.3_Radio_1.14. 550L.17DC_30.78.550L.15_release_259626_signed.zip
Any ideas on what may be wrong?
Current bootloader is
*** locked ***
ruby pvt ship s-off rl
hboot - 1.93.0002
I did have eng bootloader and that one didn't seem to find it either
I also do have the correct cid on it too
Any idea on how to get this loaded back and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Never mind guys I figured out what I was doing wrong.
Even though I could mount and see the SD card to computer while in recover when it was only mounted to recovery or rom (energy at the time) it wouldn't see it.
I formated the SD card in the recovery rather then in the computer and it fixed the issue.
Was then able to run the zip and fully back to stock.

Alright. 3 days and countless hours researching to avoid getting flamed - i've reached my last resort.
I've got an unrooted Thunderbolt on my hands that is stuck in a bootloop. The HTC splash screen is all I can get aside of getting into HBOOT. Factory reset and recovery from the bootloader puts me right back into the boot loop. Ive tried flashing CWM via PG05IMG and it recognizes it but does not prompt me to go through with the install. I can't get ADB to recognize the device because USB debugging is apparently disabled. I have HTC SYNC process/application disabled (tried it enabled as well) and I have revolutionary's HTC driver installed (After it not working prior to its installation -- im getting desperate at this point). I am getting the click noise through my computers audio when I plug in the device to the computer, so I know its at least partially getting recognized - however, I cannot find it in my device manager. Im on WIN7. I have removed SIM and SD. Tried different of each cards. Verified MD5's of all files including the the latest OTA non-root RUU I tried to flash via bootloader (for the record this was my first step to troubleshoot the issue). When I attemped to flash the non-root OTA RUU it checked the file with the little side bar escalating and then brought me right back to the hboot screen with options
Here is the info I have. I was given this phone by someone who didn't want to mess around with trying to get it work, so as far as I know, its not rooted. In fact, im almost positive its all stock, or was. I really hope im missing something silly here. I just can't figure this one out.

EMMC?
I've tried re-balling that EMMC chip also, forgot to mention that. I may need a new one entirely according to some other posts...
Have you tried clearing caches ?

So...you've spent three days trying to flash something to a phone with S-ON?
have you tried...getting S-OFF (root) first?
just sayin'

Everything you say you are trying to do will not work without root. Can't change the bootloader without it...can't install custom recovery without unlocked bootloader. I might have that backwards, but in any case the only thing that might get you out of looping is to flash a .ruu file in bootloader. If you search the forums, you should find a link to one. A .ruu is a full system image file for the stock vzw t bolt ROM. You will loose all info on your phone (not sd card) but that might do it for you.
remove sd card from phone. back it up and format completely. install into phone.
use the HTC thunderbolt all in one program and see if the phone is recognized. if it is...use it to gain root and s-off. from there you can flash a recovery or go completely back to stock and s-on if you need.

Hello all, Ive lost several days to this now and have finally signed up to ask you all for help on "unbricking" my Evo3d.
Ive done so much i cant quite remember a full list, but alas my problem is essentialy i have deleted the OS on the phone and now every time i try to flash a .zip to the phone (i am using TWRP which seems to be working fine) it says FAILED and gives me an error whilst trying to find /cache.
So it appears my /cache folder has dissapeared aswell? The cure for this (from what i have read online) is to boot into your rom and then restart to bootloader, however there is no rom to boot into on the phone.
ALL I WANT IS STOCK.
Just to be able to use the phone again, before it was on 4.0.2 i think and even though i have S-ON i still tried to load a custom kernal and rom, this then obviousely put me into a bootloop which was ok, except i have no idea how to go back to stock.
I have tried several RUU files (at 400mb a pop) ALL of which fail and give me the error 155 unknown error during the installing on my computer.
I believe the image that the RUU.exe says my phone is was 3.*** (i cant remember exactly but if anyone needs to know i can boot it up again)
I have tried the RUU to return it to 1.21 or something similar but that also failed.
Seemingly i cant do anything with the phone and hours apon hours of googling is getting me no where.
Please help somebody it would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT- I can now no longer boot into recovery for an unknown reason, i tried another RUU it failed in exactly the same fashion, now i boot the phone and it loads a small picture of a phone with a green circle icon next to it, this then turns into a red triangle with a "!" inside of it, then i have to remove the battery.
Crap.
I think I have found why the RUU were not working, its because my bootloader was unlocked.
I have relocked my bootloader, ran the RUU and it has errored again except this time it says Customer ID number.
I presume this means the CID number on my phone is incorrect? Which would sort of make sense because i think i may have changed it at the very beginning whilst i was following a guide.
How on earth do i find out what to change it back to? I have no idea what the original was
EDIT-
************FIXED**************
Use the fastboot commands to change your CID to what is required (HTC or Vodafone) This must be done with unlocked bootloader.
LOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER
Run the RUU file that you wish to apply and voila.
Thanks xda!
Ok, I will try to give as much info as I can, please let me know if there is anything else I should provide. I really appreciate any help and advice as I've been pulling my hair out for the last 3 days, spending 10+ hours trying to get my Amaze back working.
Problem started a few days ago, phone shut off, when it powered back on it was stuck on the White HTC logo. That same day the phone died completely and would not power on at all, not even the amber light. Eventually the amber light would blink the but phone wouldn't charge. I fixed this first issue by jump starting the battery with a 9V battery, something someone suggested on a thread. Worked great to get the phone charging again... but that's it. So basically I have access to the HBOOT/Fastboot and EXT4 Recovery menu's, and there is no OS on the phone, I know for sure now because I wiped the system.
When I try (but fail) to install the RUU 1.41 exe, and it checks the phone, i comes back saying my "current" version on the phone is 2.14.661.2 even though there isn't any OS on there...
Bit more background info. I purchased this phone last year off someone, it was running 4.1.2 and the bootloader was unlocked. It *is S-ON though.
Whatever else this guy did, I'm not sure as this is what I can tell, however the CID pulls up as Telus001? which the guy did tell me it was a Telus phone.
So I'm trying to load the Telus stock rom and I've been getting nowhere and pulling my hair out. I'm 10hrs in and no further then I was. So first I downloaded the Telus RUU 1.41 exe from the stock rom but it gives an Error 43. I tried this with both the bootloader locked again, and unlocked. I then downloaded the OTA 2.14.661 zip from the stock roms, and renamed it to PH85IMG, stuck that on the Ext SD card. Problem is when it boots into the HBOOT it actually see's the file, loads it, then checks it, but then returns me to the main menu. I don't get promted to update. Now I've tried this too with the bootloader unlocked, and locked. So a third go, I extracted the Rom from the 1.41 RUU and made that PH85IMG, tossed it onto the SD card and again this time it actually went further but gave another error.
I have tried to Sideload the above Roms through recovery but they give error's.
In that All In One program there is an option to fix the Mainver error, however when I run that all I get is "Device not found". The phone IS loaded under device manager as HTC Phone as I had installed the drivers. I've tried to google this fix but I can't get anywhere.
Everyone has said on forums that sticking a PH85IMG.zip file on an Ex SD and having it boot into the HBOOT menu will rebuild the phone, but I'm out of idea's how to get there because it loads the rom's, checks them, and then boots me back to the menu. There is only 2 Rom's I can find for Telus, and that's the 1.41 EXE or the OTA 2.14.661.2. My HBOOT version is 1.93.0002, RUBY PVT SHIP S-ON RL.
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions, desperately just want my phone working again. I feel like I've been to the 4 corner's of google trying to solve this problem.
Strange This should not happen.Also if your phone is running 4.1.2 which should be a custom then that means your phone was updated to ics so the ruu.exe will fail.if you have access to 4ext recovery then you can flash any custom rom to boot your phone.But if you want stock and both of the stock roms for your carrier is not working then the only thing you can do is s-off the phone then use supercid so you can flash any carrier's rom then flash t-mobile ics stock.Tell me if this worked for you.

Got it going!! Thanks for the suggestions. What did it in the end was this thread --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27058110
I had EXT4 Recovery already, so I used his Zip and just flashed that. Phone came back up and is running great now... if only I had found his thread before the hr's and hr's I've been googling and trying things.
Hi all,
So I bought a Rezound for my daughter for Christmas. She's only 10 and for now it is a 911 "emergency" phone\media player, and in a year or so we're planning on adding a GSM SIM so she can have some "minor emergency" ability to call us when we need to change pickup arrangements, etc.
Anyway, the phone I bought was on GB, I think, with HBOOT 2.27. I have been able to S-OFF-, unlock the bootloader, flash CWM 6.0.3.6, and flash the 4.03.605.2 RUU to it. All in all things are smashing. But when I boot to recovery and even normally, the internal storage seems screwed up. I get messages about unable to mount sdcard or external_sd, and while I tried reformatting them in recovery I think I made it worse. Without an SD card I can see 10GB free of HTC STORAGE when I plug it into Windows under a normal boot, but with an SD it doesn't even give me disk-drive as an option.
I didn't think I needed to flash a boot.img because I went the RUU route from GB to ICS, but I don't know how to fix this. Any help is much appreciated!
Nevermind
I follow the awesome downgrade->upgrade guide and I'm good to go!
So i have s-off, unlocked bootloader, running viper rom for a year now. I recently tried to flash a new rom and noticed my external sd wont register. tried multiple sd cards still wont read em. the area in settings under storage is greyed out under sd card(external). I tried flashing through fastboot usb, and nothing. the phone is running like crap. i either want to go back to stock or flash a new rom, but am stuckl on ideas. Any help is appreciated
What's hboot & radio version? Something tells me you may need to update those.
