[Q] phone stuck on HTC screen - HTC Amaze 4G

im new to this whole rooting thing so please help a noob out.
So i unlocked the bootloader but unfortunately i tried to flash a rom while S-On; So now im stuck on the HTC screen. I tried to do the PH85IMG.zip thing but it doesnt seem to do anything. I would really appreciate any help guys (it sucks using a flip phone for over a week.)
the amaze is the tmobile version

I'm no pro but I have rooted and done all things root to 3 amazes. So you unlocked the bootloader. Did you flash a custom recovery? After that you should have perma rooted the phone by flashing the su.zip thingy. After that you should have preformed a backup. Then flashed the Rom. Take. The boot.IMG from the unpacked Rom placing it in the tools folder in androidsdk then flashing it in fastboot. This is how I do it. Always worked for me. In detail what did you do?
Edit. I also have s-on. Both on my girls amaze and my one s. I'm not sure if some roms require s off but I never had a problem flashing roms. Kernels are always easy using fastboot method.

the order of what you just described doing some how seems entirely wrong... let me make a few corrections to what you should do
if you haven't flashed a custom recovery place your phone into bootloader mode (by removing the battery then reinserting and holding vol down + power button)
then enter FASTboot (by using the power button in the bootloader)... use hasoon2000's toolkit found Here in the second post (don't forget to hit thanks to his post)
flash 4EXT recovery, once in 4EXT check to make sure smart flash is enabled
once in 4ext recovery do a wipe DATA/FACTORY, followed by formatting SYSTEM then wipeing CACHE then DALVIK CACHE
after doing that proceed to trying to flash your rom again, if it fails download another ROM and use the MOUNT USB feature in 4EXT to mount your phone to the pc while in recovery and place another rom on your SD card to try and flash
overall the steps to flashing a rom on a "NEW" phone is Unlock Bootloader > Flash Custom Recovery > Flash SU for ROOT > BACKUP!! > Full WIPE > Flash ROM > BACKUP! if you require more info feel free to make another post

hope this helps

Which RUU did you use? Personally, I'd suggest using THIS RUU.
Before using this RUU, make sure your battery is FULLY charged, and then make sure you have re-locked your bootloader. After that, rename the RUU to PH85IMG (usually the .zip part is already appended to the end, so if you add the .zip part, it'd actually be PH85IMG.zip.zip, which won't work)
Then add it to the root of your SDCard, boot into bootloader by taking out your phone's battery, putting it back in, then holding volume down button and power button. Keep holding those 2 buttons until the bootloader screen comes up. It will auto-detect the RUU and go from there.
After all's said and done, unlock your bootloader again, install a custom recovery - I recommend the 4EXT recovery - and then flash your ROM of choice.
Best of luck!

[Q] Please help, might be bricked?

So I recently rooted my sprint evo 3d by the hoot 1.50 method. that was all great until using the flash gui app i flashed a bad rom. ever since then, when I turn on my evo 3d only the white screen shows with the green htc letters, after that it goes to a black screen with the backlight still on and the buttons still lit. I have pulled out the battery multiple times and have even pressed the volume down and power button and have wiped cache and stuff, but still no luck. Please help! I CAN NOT be bricked or I will be screwed. thank you
Try flashing another rom, no? Do you have a nandroid you could restore?
Sent by Logo the turtle
I haven't tried flashing another rom, what rom should I flash? I'm totally new to rooting hah. And no I do not have a nandroid I could restore
If none of the answers people are going to post you could always restore back to stock using RUU.

If you are having issues with your current ROM. You could always run the ROM Upgrade Utility (RUU) found in the link below.
http://bit.ly/u3pMEN
Make sure to download the correct file.
(RUU_Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_2.17.651.5_Radio_1.06.00 .1216)
After it has finished downloading. Re-lock your phone.
Then run the RUU.exe
This will take you back to the Stock HTC 2.17.651.5 ROM.
DO NOT DISCONNECT YOUR DEVICE DURING THE PROCESS. IT COULD BRICK YOUR DEVICE.
Remember this will delete all your current data/apps so use TWRP on the android market to back up all your downloaded content. Only if your going to unlock you device again because you need to root your phone to use TWRP.

We've all been there and doesn't sound like you are screwed so you can probably relax.....lol. Flashing another rom should work since you don't have a nanddroid backup. Just follow the developers instructions exactly for which ever rom you choose. Also since on h-boot 1.5 you need to flash rom in fastboot not in flash image gui. That will only extract the kernel from the rom.
The only way I have ever flashed roms (yes it is monotonous, but it works) is using adb/fastboot. I would try sticking a different rom on your sd card and then booting into bootloader by holding vol - and power. once in that screen hit fastboot and then plug it into a computer. since you unlocked using the HTC method you kind of know what to do with this. find your android tools folder with your adb, fastboot, and recovery files in it. hold shift and right click the folder to open a command window here. once open type 'fastboot boot "nameofyourrecovery".img'. once this is done flash your rom and you should be okay. if not, download the 2.17 ruu exe and run it from your computer like said above.

[Q] How to s off while stuck in Recovery mode? Please help.

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.

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.

[Q] rezound wont start after flashing roms

Hi everyone, so this is my first post here so please deal with me. I did check for similar problems with no results and think I'm posting in the right area. So try not to get too frustrated with me if I'm wrong. Anyway, with all of that out of the way on to my problem.
I have a rooted rezound, which was first rooted to get rid of bloatware and such, but I decided I wanted to try out some different roms. My problem is every time I flash a rom, which appears successful, but whenever it boots up it'll freeze up on the HTC screen. To fix this I've been just been pulling the battery and restoring to the backup I made before trying to flash roms. I would really like to try some different roms but I've gotten stuck on that screen with each one I've tried. If anyone could help me I'd greatly appreciate it!
Some additional info: I use to have a rooted thunderbolt and have some experience with flashing roms and all that stuff, but I'd still consider myself a noob. I have Amon Ra Recovery on my rezound and the screen in hboot reads:
***Unlocked***
vigor put ship s-on rl
HBOOT-2.11.0000
eMMC-boot
Oct 6 2011, 15:43:22
(I'm not sure why it says the incorrect date and time?)
I've tried several different things to successfully flash roms. I've tried flashing them with and without PH98IMG.zip on the root of my sd. I've tired it with and without the back on my phone. When flashing roms I ALWAYS wiped all data before flashing. That's just about everything relevant I can think of, sorry for the length! I figured the more information the easier for you guys to help!
If you're S-ON, you need to flash the P98IMG zip with the ROM. This contains the boot.img file.
Just extract the ROM of choice, take the P98IMG zip, throw it on your SD card and boot into your bootloader. Go into the bootloader menu and it'll install. Reboot, phone will work just fine.
If there isn't a P98IMG file and just a boot.img file, just push it through ADB while in your fastboot.
command is fastboot flash boot boot.img
So the P98IMG.zip file I downloaded and had on the root of my sd card is different than the one I need to extract from the rom or was I just not installing it right?
I did have a P98IMG.zip on the root of my sd card and I went into hboot, then I went to recovery and flashed my rom. Is there another step I need to take in installing the P98IMG.zip or should it automatically install? Do I need to reboot it between installing the P98IMG.zip and the rom?
Thanks for you help and quick response! I'm really trying to learn and get better at this stuff
After you flash your ROM, go into your bootloader (fully, must be in the bootloader menu) and it'll install. Follow the onscreen instructions, reboot, and remove the zip from your SD card.
Hope that helps.
I still cant get it to work :/
Heres step by step what I did:
1) Went into hboot > recovery
2) Wiped all data
3) Flashed ROM
4) Powered off phone using option in the recovery menu
5) Powered back on into hboot. The green text appeared that said loading and stuff about P98IMG and a blue bar on the side, but this process was very brief (maybe 2 seconds tops) and there were no instructions to follow
6) Went into recovery and rebooted my phone where I was stuck on the the HTC screen again
Can you point out where I'm going wrong or any possible issue?
Thanks again for you patience! I really appreciate your help!

How are you getting to recovery? It should give you an option to install update or reboot in hboot. If the ph98img is in the right spot you shouldn't be able to boot into recovery
With my phone powered off I'm holding down the power button and down volume button to get to hboot. I have my ROM and the PH98IMG.zip file both on the root of my SD card. It does very quickly appear to load the PH98IMG file but returns to the hboot screen the has the options: fastboot, recovery, factory reset, clear storage, sim lock, image crc.
Could it be that the PH98IMG file should be somewhere else? And was I doing everything in the correct order or do I install the PH98IMG first?
File may be bad. Do you have adb set up?

Well actually I'm running off a mac and I've been using my sisters laptop for adb and that stuff but she just broke it...just my luck haha. Would I be able to download a different copy of PH98IMG from online and try that?
What ph file are you trying to flash? It should load it and ask if you want to update. Try downloading it again. May be a bad download

So s-off. Seriously though. You flashed a random ph file and thought it would work? It has to be the right one for the rom. Besides that rom isn't maintained anymore
The only method to get the rezound to s-off was using some wire trick and seemed like a difficult process. Would you recommend I do that?
And the post with the ROM said and ICS PH file would be fine, so I assumed it'd work. I guess I'll try a different ROM that includes a specific PH file and up to date. In which case I should be able to get everything to work with all the help from you and Chyrux. Thanks for everything!

I would recommend getting s-off. It's going to be the only method for this phone. I mean why waste another exploit to be patched? I would recommend con rom since it uses aroma to detect whether your s-on or s-off
Did you s-off your rezound? How were your experiences with it? I'm just worried about bricking my phone. But thanks for the ROM recommendation! I've been trying to find a good ROM
S-off was fairly easy, but you do need Windows or a Linux build.

[Q] Rezound Stuck At Lock Screen

Hi,
I am new here and this is my first post so forgive me if starting a new thread for this topic was wrong but I found my own situation slightly different from the others here who had the same problem.
I have a gsm unlocked rezound and was trying to get rid of the unknown sim error message at lock screen. I followed the steps mentioned on this thread --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1882355. I rooted the phone, downloaded the apk. Deleted the .odex file and replaced the existing apk with the downloaded one and rebooted. Now, I am stuck at the lock screen with no icons. But for the other people who faced similiar issue, they were able to open the home screen. I can't. I can see pop ups for sms/mail. I get ring when a call comes in but I cant pick. I tried hard reset. Tried booting without sim/sd card. Still no luck. I tried connecting the phone to my pc but now my pc wont recognise the phone when its connected. I can see icon on top of the phone which says USB connected and I also see sync icon, but it will not go any further. I dont know how to get into the phone's menu now.
I may have bitten more than I can chew, silly me :crying:
If you guys can help me in any way, I would appreciate that a lot.

Thank you for the quick response. I have downloaded the file. I know this sounds stupid but I am a real rookie. I don't know how to do the flashing or how to get to the AOSP lock screen. If you could guide me through the process or maybe give me a link where I can learn it myself, it would be great.
Essentially since you already have rooted, you will(should) also have a custom recovery (TWRP, AmonRa, CWM). Install it as you would a regular rom but without any wipes until after flash of the zip. Dependent on which recovery you will want to look up their FAQ/QnA on how to wipe dalvik/cache.

Essentially since you already have rooted, you will(should) also have a custom recovery (TWRP, AmonRa, CWM). Install it as you would a regular rom but without any wipes until after flash of the zip. Dependent on which recovery you will want to look up their FAQ/QnA on how to wipe dalvik/cache.

Yes the phone was rooted, but I used a rooting software from google apps from the phone. After I downloaded that app, it rooted the phone and brought in an extra icon. I remember it as SU root something, but I didnt do it from the pc. So I dont have any recovery on the pc. I used to sync the phone with htc sync. Unfortunately, right now, my pc wont recognise the phone. I tried root explorer for android from pc, it wont recognise the device. HTC sync too will not. But my phone seems to know when a USB is connected, it brings the usb icon on top but thats about it. ((
Ok, best suggestion at this point is to follow the instruction in the OP for installing TWRP in the Rezound development section.

Could you kindly provide me a link to the right topic. Do you think my phone is beyond repair ? Have I bricked it ?
I am running 4.0.3 ICS on Sense 3.6

You are far FAR from being bricked. Softbricked yes, hardbricked no.

Thank you for the help buddy. I am glad you said its not. I dont know what I would have done if it had. This is my first android phone and I took it a week back. I was beginning to miss my iPhone . Unfortunately the link you provided wont help me because I have no way of restarting phone other than by removing battery. Even when in fastboot, the pc does not recognise the device even when device shows fastboot usb. I doubt if I can get past step 1 in that link.
I found that I am on Vigor H Boot 2.27.000 and Radio 2.22.10.0803r with S-ON. I tried to turn S-Off after reading and educating myself on android from this forum till now. But even to S-Off, I need to be able to enable USB in debug mode which I am not able to. Any suggestions ?
Device still not fixed
hi,
I took the phone to a couple of places to check if it can be fixed, No one was able to fix it thus far, Any other advice or suggestions to fix this would be great. Any admins/mods have something to add ? Please, I am desperate to fix this phone. Anyway of doing this ?
Have you tried flashing a different rom?
If he's S-on and locked, he can simply flash the latest RUU can't he(just to get the phone working again). From there someone can help him set up adb, and s-off.

From what they posted, somehow they don't have a custom recovery even though they are rooted?
Can you put a PH98IMG.zip file of a recovery (either Amon Ra or TWRP) on your SD card and flash it in hboot? Then flash a custom ROM the same way from recovery.
You can take the SD card out and mount it on your pc and use your pc to copy over the recovery PH98IMG.zip file.
And oh yeah, I see what Obaterista... was saying. You should be able to flash the latest RUU from hboot. Here's a link for it:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ull-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/
That's global too, which seems to be what you'll need.

Yes I have vigor, tried AmonRa, that did not work mate. It starts fastboot, gets stuck @ unpacking PH98IMG.diag and then nothing happens.

The bootloader screen says S-On. On top it says ***Tampered*** and below it ***UNLOCKED***.

Yes I rooted from a tool I found on android market. Noob me. So I do not have a recovery. I had downloaded the PH98IMG.zip and put it in my sd card and tried. The recovery starts and then shows a red exclamation and then nothing happens.
I was just trying different pages for help. Someone has mentioned that I should add the PH98IMG.zip as just PH98IMG and I shud not add the .zip. Thats the only thing left to try. I will post what happens when I do that.

What you'll have to do is relock your boot loader, flash the RUU and then unlock again. From there you should be able to flash a recovery and flash a rom.

Are you trying with the stock ROM ? If ure saving stock ROM as PH98IMG.zip, then try PH98IMG without the .zip typed in.

Thanks a tonne. That helped. I am back in the menu now. I am so grateful for ure help. But my problems dont seem to end just yet. Now, my htc sync wont detect the phone. The phone is relocked. I will try unlocking and see if it works, but is that the cause ?

I am no expert to give u any suggestions but maybe if you could explain how it got bricked in the first place, someone might be able to give u a better solution mate.

[Q] Probably bricked onex+

Hi.
Iv messed around a bit too much with my phone and im now at the stage where i am unable to get into recovery or factory reset with clockwork mod. all i can use is fastboot
when i start the phone up i get stuck in the HTC screen... iv previously tried pushing a rom to the phone then flashing the boot.img but iv royally screwed it up.
is there any way i can revive the phone from the position im in or is it game over?

I did basically the same thing a few days ago (I think). Have you seen Hasoon's toolkit? Install and open it and under the links section go for the stock RUU. Download and run it and all should be well.

Here's a link for the toolkit:
http://d-h.st/users/hasoon2000/?fld_id=7459#files
Download and install it, and then click on the RUU link. I know how you must be feeling man...it sucks to be the proud owner of a new $700 paperweight. From what I gather without S-OFF (which as far as I know isn't possible yet on the One X+) it's incredibly rare to completely brick a phone...so don't lose hope
Personally, I would go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2094118 and download the ruu that is applicable to your phone, then I would use hassons toolkit to relock your bootloader. Then boot phone into fastboot adb, and just run the ruu. I have seen it take two runs to work at times, but I've never seen a true brick. As long as the something lights up when you plug it in, ruu's will save you. then just start all over with unlock bootloader, root, flash recovery, and the rom of your choice.
Since HTC ONE X+ is still S-ON it is barely impossible to brick.
If you can reach bootloader (fastboot mode) then simply flash the correspondant Recovery, clear cache (fasboot erase cache) then unplug your USB cable press on Power button one time, Volume down one time time to select Recovery and validate by Power again, your phone should reboot in Recovery.

How do you flash an RUU?
I have the same Problem. An RUU is an .exe file. You only have to run it.
My Problem is that the battery is under 30% and i dont have any idea why its not charging
Did this get resolved, the RUU is an exe not a zip hasoon asks for a zip?
Can someone guide me please?

I too kinda bricked my hox+ evitareul i have cwm installed but my partitions are all formatted and cwm cannot mount system data or cache and adb side load won't work because of the partitions being erased...i unlocked at htc dev then flashed cwm in fast boot but i did it on a mac so i think thats what messed it up...when the recovery flashed it also formatted the partitions...idk why...Hboot can't scan for anything i get "can't mount usb master system" in hoot...recovery works fine but i can't flash anything...going to try a rue to get me back hopefully...Do you guys think it will fix me in my case? if it can fix me it definitely can help you^^^
It's probably not charging because your recovery might not support offline charging...I charged my hox+ by letting it boot into system even though there was no Rom...if you look closely when it boots the screen will dim and so will the red led in the speaker...when it dims it means it's charging and this works no matter what recovery or Rom you have but your screen will display HTC the entire time it's charging...took me about 45 minutes to get above 30% then I flashed the sense 5 rUU and now I'm back lol...hope I helped
