HTC Amaze. Tried toolkit but it will only boot to screen with circle of green arrows then red triangle with exclamation point. Try to boot to HBOOT and get nothing on the screen via toolkit or button combination. Tried factory reset by finally getting into recovery by just randomly pressing buttons on red triangle screen and factory reset throws many lines of errors where it cannot find /data /cache..... I can pull battery and boot into phone and use phone fine but I am trying to unlock bootloader, root, and flash a custom ROM. I have SCOURED these boards and the net. I have looked at screenshots of the bootloader and tried to see if the screen simply isnt showing the information and that is a possiblility since I pressed down once and power button and it went to the same recovery screen. How do I simply flash this whole thing back to stock? HBOOT, RECOVERY, ROM, EVERYTHING? Possible?
Help would be greatly appreciated!
wrong section only developer can post here

htcdev.com gives you instructions to unlock the bootloader. then you go to the htc amaze all-in-one kit and flash 4ext as a custom recovery. then you can flash any rom you want (assuming you already have ICS installed).
P.S. A quick google for "how to unlock htc amaze bootloader" directs you to htcdev.com for the very first hit. SCOUR HARDER lol.
Moved
Please next time read the rules before posting
With all due respect I have done all of the items using the toolkit involving unlocking the bootloader with token ID. Are you saying to not use toolkit and just use HTCdevs instructions instead?
I apologize for having this in the wrong section. I do not get replies in general or QA sections on this forum or the Note 2 forum.

You have to go to htcdev.com to get the token ID to use the unlocker utility in the htc amaze all-in-one program................. The instructions are there. Again, a quick google would have told you all this.
All that was completed. Any other advice?

okay i just read this whole thread and i'm completely lost as to what your trying to do.. first off if your boot loader is still locked and you want to flash back to stock you need to download the correct RUU file for your carrier... if you supply that information i can help you look for the right one.. then you rename that file to ph85img.zip and place it on the root of your SD CARD and boot into bootloader by removing your battery and placing it back in and "HOLDING" volume down and the power button until you are in the bootloader menu... after that its just following the instructions to flash back to stock
these are the instuctions to Unlock Bootloader > FLASH 4EXT > ROOT > Flash ROM
download hasoon's AiO toolkit and instll the htc usb drivers...
use the toolkit to unlock the bootloader if not go to htcdev.com and follow the VERY easy instuctions listed there... (you can skip the first few about installing android sdk)
after you unlock your boot loader proceed to flash your recovery (id suggest using 4EXT since your prob S-ON)
once you have a custom recovery you can proceed to flash the super SU file including in the aio toolkit
then make a "NANDROID" backup of your phone using 4EXT before you continue to flashing any roms
the rest is simple just download what roms you want and read the instructions to flashing the rom..

I have done all of this to the T back when I originally started this thread and now that I tried it again today. When my phone is booted to bootloader using the toolkit it is just a black screen. When I unlock the bootloader using the token I received from the HTC Dev site the toolkit says it was unlocked successfully. I then flashed custom recovery that it says was done correctly. Then when I boot into recovery it is goes to a picture of a phone with a green circle of arrows for 5 seconds then a phone with a red triangle and exclamation point. If I play around mashing buttons I can get into the stock recovery with blue letters and options to restore (doesnt work, many errors) and 4 other options. It is like my screen is messed up and will not show the bootloader/hboot screens. I have never been able to see the screen with the option for fastloader before which other people can see. Does this make any more sense? When I boot my phone it is a black screen until I see the bleedover from the soft keys, then I have to press the power button to turn screen off and back on for the screen to start working. After that it always works fine!?!?!?! What is wrong here?!? Its like I should just load the stock firmware and start all over but I cannot see the screen to select fastloader so it will recognize the PH#### file I have downloaded and loaded onto my SD Card. I am at a loss over here!
okay so your phone can boot to stock recovery but you cannot boot into the boot loader? via either adb or from pulling the battery and holding the buttons?

Pretty much, with the exception that the only way for me to get into the stock recovery is trying to flash a custom recovery and the phone going to the screen with the green arrow circle then the screen with the red triangle and exclamation and I start pressing random combinations of volume up and power.
I have never seen anything other than:
Green circle screen
Red triangle screen
Stock recovery with blue lettering after random buttons
Ok, this is quite confusing lol. Let's start from the beginning. Take your battery out, put it back in then power on the phone while holding down the volume-down button. This will get u into the botloader. On the top left there will be a few lines of writing, post back here what those lines say. Then we will see where you are and go from there...

Are you sure? Have you taken out your battery, put it back on, put the cover of the phone back on, press AND hold Volume Up and Power Button until you get a white screen that has some options and with the android mascots on the bottom of the screen (in other words the bootloader)? If no, then you need to boot into bootloader through hasoon2000's kit. Now what you do is you install the HTC Drivers through his kit (highlight install HTC Drivers at the top left box, first option in his kit), then after that, have your phone connected to your computer with a USB, then on your phone, go to Developer options in Settings then check USB Debugging. Once that's done, with your phone connected to your computer still, go back to the toolkit and in the second to left box you'll see reboot to bootloader. Click on that and then click on the button below the box that says "Do Command".

Here is the story. my parent bought my brother the amaze 4g for his birthday. he was messing with it trying to root it and such and today he was trying to install a new rom and while it was installing he disconnected the cable, the screen is a black background with green arrows and a phone. I'm not familiar with this but when i press the power button and down button it says unlocked at the top. When i tried to install the stock rom it keeps coming up with no image.
Is there a way to fix this? Thanks in advance
Was he trying to make it s=off? When I did that on my phone that happened, and it is easy to fix. Ask your brother first, but if he was trying to get s=off, all you have to do is get the leaked ICS image from the dev section and flash it. Download the file from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1615164&highlight=leak, rename it to PH85IMG.zip and put it on the external SD card, then boot into the bootloader and press the up volume button when it asks if you want to update. However, this only works on T-Mobile phones.
I tried that a bunch of times already but every time it starts checking and at the then it just says no image and goes back to H boot
Edit: It is a T-Mobile phone
Sorry, I just reread your original post, your bootloader has to be locked to flash the file, so boot into fastboot and run "fastboot oem lock" from your computer's command prompt.
I just tried it and it gets stuck on "waiting for device" and I don't know if it makes a difference but something happened with his SD card and my computer couldn't read it so I had to reformat it and its empty right now
If that doesn't work, I am not sure what can be done. I wouldn't think the SD card would matter, but make sure you formatted it as FAT32, just in case, and leave the zip file off of it, go into bootloader and use the volume buttons to go to fastboot, and click the power button to select it, then plug it into the computer. If it then says fastboot usb I would think the oem lock should work, but if that fastboot usb doesn't come up, there might be something wrong with the whole boot loader or something. Sorry I could not help any more.
I went into fastboot and connected the USB cable and it didn't change, it still just say fastboot highlighted in red
I have no idea what you could do to fix that, then. Again, I apologize that I couldn't help more, and I wish you the best of luck with this.
Thanks for trying to help anyway

Adb debugging wasn't on I bet :banghead:
I don't get how he got in this position. I don't use a cord to install ROMs. If he were to unplug, I don't see what that would do except stop charging... Unless he was in disk mode and it caused a bad unmount and corrupted card.
I would try the steps above with a fresh sd card and it should work. Redownload the ics or gingerbread ruu and go through the steps.
He was in the process of flashing his phone with some rom he wanted but then somehow he accidentally disconnected the USB cable and it froze up. Now every time you turn the phone on, after the HTC screen it shows the picture that its being flashed (black background with green arrows going into the phone) so I can't turn the phone on at all but I do know that his phone had usb debugging on before he flashed it.
Ok so I found out he was actually trying to get S-off with some "wire trick" and he said at the beginning of the process the phone was restarting and he accidentally unplugged the usb and when the phone rebooted, it got stuck in the dark screen with the green arrows
This just means he needs to continue trying the wire trick. I was stuck at the screen too. I just kept running the program and attempting the wire trick until I got it right.

I just tried the wire trick and it got all the way to counting 45 seconds and the phone keeps rebooting. So I tried to run the program again and now it says connect device and install drivers

i dont know what to say then :/ mabey the computer cant read the amaze
Since I can't get past the htc screen. The computer wont recognize that the phone is connected to it
I has a similar problem when trying to do s-off - try installing htc drivers again after plugging in the usb.
Was running jellybomb for a few months, nothing has changed recently. This morning I started to notice a static looking colorful screen for a few seconds before the locker showed up. Later in the day, the same static was taking over my status bar. Then static staying on the screen, would take several power cycles befpre I could get to my phone, the displays were completely out of whack, and while the phone seemed to operate and run just fine (according to the sounds & vibration feedback)... the screen would lag behind by about 5 seconds, and remain for the most part, jumbled and static everywhere, making it impossible to do anything.
I backed up my phone, was able to clear cache, dalvic cache, factory reset, etc, I'm s-on so I flashed the kernel (boot.img) via adb fastboot, the phone re-set (don't remember how), and am unable to get into bootloader in order to install the rom. I hit the power and it vibrates and is "on", just a black screen. I cannot get the timing right on doing a simulated battery pull and power + vol. down to get into the bootloader since the screen is not visible. Any other way I can get to boot loader/recovery? I have the SDK installed, can the phone be viewed on my computer? All I need to do is install the rom.
I have TWRP on it BTW.
Anyone suggestions would be greatly appreciated, this one's over my head.
Thanks,
-Mike
****** SOLVED *******
Took it to sprint, the tech said he asked HTC what causes this. They say it is static buildup on the ribbon for the display. They are able to take a strong magnet and run it across the ribbon to fix the problem.
Try holding power button a while longer, do you see the lights on the bottom started to flash? If so release power button and hold volume down.

k, think I got my phone into usb-fastboot. I did the exact same w/ my girls phone and counted the seconds for it to come up, then did the same on my phone.
Now, when I do the command "adb devices" either of the two phones. I was getting "device list attached". I then checked device manager and found "Android USB Devices" and under that "My HTC", but no ADB devices. I tried all the drivers I could find..... latest HTC sync.. updated from the SDK manager, etc. I cannot get adb to connect with the phones. I don't even know where to look, I've been at this for two days now.
Can someone that is far smarter than me please help. $15 paypal to whoever gets my phone back from hell.

k, got the phone connected via adb, and was able to get the phone in recovery (TWRP), however, the screen is just static, so I can only navigate in the dark. I need to find a sure fire way to install the rom. I have a copy of the rom on the external SD, and on the phone. Is there a way I can view my phone's screen with my computer? Or another way of installing the rom using adb, or some other program?
uuuh. So damn frustrating. Someone PLEASE help. I am now just trying to relock bootloader and run RUU to get things back to sanity, but I cannot seem to get fastboot working. I can only be in recovery. I adb reboot-bootloader, give it a few, then press the power button once. Now I should be in fastboot-usb, but I cannot communicate via adb.... What the heck is going on?
You need to list your bootloader details: hboot, baseband, software version, etc. If you are hboot 1.15 or 1.19 I would go to the dirty racun site and follow their instructions through step #11 to get your phone working again. Follow their instructions exactly. Pay attention to step #9 and if you see the failure, use the arrow keys to move up in the cmd window and rerun the ruu. You don't have to continue all the way to s-off if you don't want to, but if you download the appropriate ruu for your current hboot and follow their instructions it will get you back to a working phone and you can go from there.

Thanks, I will check it out if I get stuck again. Me screen gave me just enough where I re-installed the rom, and was able to install drivers for fastboot. I was then able to re-lock the bootloader. I am currently trying to run a RUU to see if that fixes the problem. At the very least, I can take it to sprint and have them deal with it now that it is back to stock.

When you agree to it, press the volume up button and press the power button to accept it. Your phone will now restart.

Instead of letting my phone boot up, I went straight to the bootloader and I installed recovery. I wasn't using his guide until I got stuck at the white HTC screen, then I knew I messed up somewhere. I tried to install CyanogenMod 10.1, but when I reboot my phone it just hangs at the HTC boot up screen until I can luckily power down the phone.
I don't know where to go from here. I have access to bootloader and TWRP recovery and I want to install the CyanogenMod 10.1 ROM. It's also S-ON and pre-OTA. I would really like some help here as I am completely lost...
*Edit. I figured out I just needed to relock the boot load and install the factory OS. Guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2017525

Trying to get my phone into recovery mode. Droid DNA, root and s-off via Moonshine.
When I try to go into recover either through the bootloader or adb, the phone resets, goes dark for a bit, then shows a triangle with an exclamation point hovering over an image of the phone.
I can smother the phone and reboot, but I can't get into recovery.

I lifted the following from somewhere....:angel:
Shut down the device. Hold down Volume Down and hold down Power until you boot into the HBOOT menu. Select the RECOVERY option using the Volume buttons. Your phone will show the white HTC screen, then you'll see a black screen. It will take a while but it will say failed to mount sd four times. Wait until it turns into a red triangle with an exclamation point inside the triangle and from there, hold down the Volume Up and then press the Power button. You will see a small list, this is stock recovery
Ha! That worked perfectly. I need to start a different thread now to understand the error message.
Thanks!
I was doing a backup with TWRP and everything seemed to go just fine. Then after a reboot i unlocked the phone to notice that it was leaving the lock-screen icons on the bottom of the page. I still had access to my notification bar and could clear notifications. Figuring that there had just been a mistake in the boot process, I held the power button to restart the phone. Well it never brought up my power menu to restart. Also instead of making me wait ten seconds until it flashed its lights and restarted, it just restarted in like 3 seconds. Now my phone is stuck on the HTC ONE screen and will not respond to anything including hold the power button.
My phone is rooted an s-off. I know that I have not posted at all on here, but I have been rooting and know how at least the basics on adb shell. I just have never had a phone lock up to this point. If I can at least get to recovery, I should have 2 or 3 backups to run. I just don't want to have to wait for the phone battery to die just to hope I can get to recovery.

Are you saying volume up + power button does not restart your phone nor does any help? Check if your phone is detected in computer and if so you can issue and adb reboot command
also since there is no removable battery HTC added a reboot function press home vol down and power that should do the trick
The phone is not detected by a computer, nor will it charge. Vol down and power is not cutting it off. Right now I am waiting for the battery to die so I can hopefully boot into recovery and do a restore.
Vol up + Power was the key. I was thinking it was volume down. Thanks for all your help

Just wanted to point out I ran into this issue also (Stuck on white HTC boot screen) after wiping my ROM and Vol UP + Power did the trick for me also (and then Vol Down + Power to get back to the bootloader).
i need help, guys
so attempting to install a new rom, i must have dont something wrong because now restarting the phone will leave me on the htc logo loop and restart. i still have access to hboot and fastboot. but when attempting to load into twrp, it shows the team win logo for half a second and then restarts the phone. then i installed cwm and it does boot into it but whatever option i pick, install zip, wipe data, ANYTHING, restarts the phone.
i have no idea what to do. i tried installing a rom using adb sideload but it stops at around 80%, ive tried installing different versions of twrp and cwm and same thing. i think it is bricked. im using the verizon htc one max. the only option i see left is the ruu toolkit but ive only been able to find the sprint version and then it says that bootloader needs to be locked and i have not idea how to do that from hboot, fastboot, or cwm
attempting to install superuser also fails
if there's anyone here that can help, please, any suggestions will be appreciated. thanks =:laugh:

May I suggest following these instructions?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51753483&postcount=129
If you're able to complete those instructions outlined in that post, this should set you up with the latest HBOOT, Radio and TWRP (Recovery) for the Verizon HTC One.
Make sure you read the post fully before you start, especially this part:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip (Be sure it finishes saying 'successful', not 'please flush again immediately'. If it says the flush again, rerun the command)
If you succeed in getting that done, see if TWRP still causes the phone to reboot and get back to us.
