Hey guys, i have got a problem after i rooted my wind HTC Amaze 4g.
okay, so what happened is simple, i rooted it, its fully rooted now, but then it wont load up, its stuck at the HTC screen.
So what i tried to do is, install the factory version of Android on it, i have read many posts and support but non of them worked.
I can access the Boot menu, where when i choose to restore to factory mode, it opens up the rooted version of restore, but it does not work when i attached the .zip file of ruu to restore, it gives me an error of no image found when i try to install it from the sdd.
the other thing is, i also tried the .exe version of the RUU, but the problem is, it says my hboot version is older than the RUU version.
my Hboot version is 1.9 while the version of the RUU in terms of .exe is 1.45, and the other was 1.46
moreover the .zip version is 2
but the .zip version wont be located..
can someone help me ?
additional information, i can wipe all data, but i cannot wipe my system files it says it cant locate the image for the internal. thanks in advanced.
Try installing 4ext recovery with hasoons toolkit..
Enable smart flash in 4ext after booting into recovery
Flash the zip.. Exe requires you to use your computer...
I flashed the tmobile this way on my wind mobile amaze.. The tmobile fixes data roaming charged/leaking data issue

thank you, i have tried that, the problem is, the zip is not found when i try to flash, i renamed it to ph85img and it wont give me an error, it just wont locate it, if i were to flash inside 4ext it would fail to flash aswell.
however the .exe was able to progress, but the problem is, it ends with an error saying my hboot version is to high. my hboot is 1.93.
is their a way i can restore my hboot version to lower than 1.45?
or what can i do about this now ? i tried almost everything
i had this problem. you have to use the t-mobile stock rom and it will flash. then you can flash your RUU.
get the stock T-mob rename it, put it on your SD. i'm on hboot 1.93.
think i used the tmobile gingerbread rom, then updated back to ICS
I suspect that you already did the wind mobile Ics update back in the summer..
Switch to the tmobile using hasoons toolkit.. It's here in the amaze section..
You are / will be fine!
Read the thread for his toolkit
Once you get the tmobile Ics running YOU ARE FIXED..... -
- THEN PICK YOUR CHOSEN ROM/POISON -
It must be done this way to have a standard set starting point...
What would you like to flash??...
You can't go from Ics to gb without extra carefully reading...
You can't go from gb to Ics without an official or leaked ruu and re-unlocking bootloader at htc

thank you so much for the replies
when i flashed the ruus for the ics for tmobile, my mobile tells me CID incorrect, but you said i should change to tmobile using hasoons toolkit first, i already have the toolkit when i rooted my phone, but i dont see such an option to switich to tmobile.
can you tell me how i can switch to tmobile to install the ruu? then im assuming it would work on wind ?
again, thank you. you got my hope back on, i already mess my amaze

thank you for your replay, how did you get the ruu to flash? in mine, its giving me an error when i flash saying wrong cid
Super cid.... It's a really easy adb command... Don't be scared.. Suuper well written and very little typing etc... This is hopefully your problem.. Also double check your bootloader is still unlocked

Also if yo have tried flash something (cm10) that somehow has a bad kernel you will need to do a few extra things.. But you'll still be Ok...
Hard brick is rare.. But still possible.. Just read & be careful..

He cannot obtain superCID without going through the s-off procedure. It's not that easy. You're assuming that he has s-off

^^^^He's right... Lol its been too long..
S-off wasn't so hard... Also there IS A wind Ics (but no gb..right?) here in the oem's thread

thank you for your replies and to the other guy as well. well appreciated.
i have s-on, and i cant make it s-off with out access to ics or gb.
wind does have a ics, but it wont flash. it just reads it, verifies it, then loads boot screen. while i tried now the other ruu's such as tmobil, still no hope.
my situation is difficult
i wish i made a recovery at first place :'(

Did you try the clear wind rc2? (it is gb)
What did you try to flash first that started all of this?
Were you Ics before?
Get s-off it'll help.. Maybe it's your bootloader version

i had ics before i rooted my phone and by mistake deleted the system files and formated it, i tried flashing the factory ics for wind HTC Amaze 4g,
what i usually do before flashing any ruus i wipe everything.
i did try the clear wind rc1, and rc2, they wont flash aswell
Ok so your bootloader version is wrong (as far as the wind ruu thinks)...
Unless you can find the correct one for wind (I remember it being special to wind and therefore probably not findable)
.... So...
Looks like you may need to s-off...
Then super cid
Then tmobile..
....
Because you phone it trying to flash but giving errors.. You are in good shape...
Soff really needed the plastic coated paperclip to happen easily for me..
Looks like you have some reading to do..
Be patient (took me 2 days of reading and 2 packs of cigarettes)

hhhha i been trying and reading for the past week, s-off is been suggested before, and now i need to find a way to s-off, because the problem is, i cant s-off from the boot menu, and when i do, it restarts my device and takes me to the bricked htc screen, sucks lol.
but is it possible to s-off from boot menu or from the ext recov. screen? ill do some research

Soff is all done with adb and hasoons toolkit... I know the reading is hard with all kinds of people saying things that are wrong... Just track the responses of the main names.. (Hasoon etc) like anything learn the names of the knowledgeable people

Hi,
I have a problem which is somewhat similar... my baseband and IMEI are both gone (long story... the phone got run over by a car and I just fixed the screen to find out that everything works except the phone ). Anyways, I am on Wind, 2.3.4 and no matter what I do I can't flash ICS zip file.
Is there a TMO file I can flash (PH85IMG or not, doesn't matter) to get to ICS? I am hoping a radio update would fix the missing IMEI and baseband issue.
Can you give links and post steps? The boards are a mess and a guide would most certainly help.
I don't mean to be short... But.. The answer is easy and.. Well.. Short.. Lol!..
Use your computer to see xda.
There's a sticky for original factory roms .
Although I saw some of the other posts and you might be screwed.
Try the new back cover... Check to see if you're getting proper contact on all electric connections.
Also try the..
Power off
Remove battery for 10 minutes
Install sim card
Re-install battery
Boot
It worked for someone else with the no IMEI and other stuff etc
e-Sex.. All of the carpral none of the tunnel
Thanks buddy. I have been using the computer to see xda for a while now. I thought the G2X forums were a mess, well, the amaze takes the cake.
I have ordered a new back cover as it would be needed regardless of whether I can fix the phone part or not. Should be here in the next 10 days or so.
I read the sticky about the factory roms. I have attempted to flash the wind mobile ICS over the 2.3.4 with no luck. It seems to fault somewhere in the flash process. I can see it get to a certain point (patching system, installing new system, etc) but then it dies without any message. This was all done inside recovery.
I don't have a problem to switch over to TMO roms but need to know how. This is why I was asking for help.
The battery trick for recovering IMEI does not work for me. Heck re-flashing the wind RUU exe file doesn't do it and that "should" be flashing the radio as well (I think).

Hey folks..so I want to start flashing kernels and yes I know I probably should have gone s-off way sooner but I want to do it now. I've been rooting and romming my phones for a while but this whole s-off procedure continued to scare the crap out of me. But..I don't want to limit my choices when it comes to roms and kernels so I guess I'll do it anyway.
However, I am currently running RUU 4.03.605.2 with Vigor360 1.1 s modified kernel.
Can I still go s-off even though I am now running the global leak (or is it now impossible) and if so, can someone point me in the right direction?
Thank you kind gents n ladies!
I've heard of several people being successful on 4.03.605.2 with the 3.14.605.5 ControlBear version.
Only other advice I can offer is don't give up, try different wires if you're having trouble, and pay attention to the troubleshooting page if you decide you want back out and try again later. I've S-OFF'ed three Rezounds. The first took 3 days, the second 2 minutes, and the third 30 minutes.

i did s-off with viper's rom and the .5. i was on global too, don't let it scare you or you will not get it. i couldn't get the timing for the life of me. first two hours was a hassle, then i had to get my other battery(thought i bricked my phone) then i relized that they had a metrnome with the correct timing and it worked the first time. but use a different memory card. all of these things can be found under the s-off instructions.:good:
its really easy man you can do it. i reccemend using speaker wire as its more pliable than a paperclip.. if you need help i can walk you thru it on gtalk. just pm me for me gtalk. otherwise. goodluck and yes the 3.14.605.5 ControlBear version is the correct one just lock your bootloader, run the full ruu agan( 4.03.605.2), flash amonRA, then flash this in recovery (https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0ZJtM40GdJ0MEpGeG1ZWi0yNDA/edit) to gain root on stock global, download root checker from the app store to be sure you got root before you begin. then boot phone and check usb debugging, connect your phone to the comp(within the stock rom), start control bear.. make sure to back up EVERYTHING as it could all get wiped. (internal sd, external sd, and your nandroid if you so choose) i reccemend using a spare sd card if you have one.. ive only done my phone but it took me all of 2 trys.. i got weird errors a couple times (other than "error: still sober" got that once) if you do just run control bear again
Thanks for the responses and moral support folks!
Collin, I may have to hit you up for that assistance soon, I'd rather be safe then sorry so I might feel better if I have someone to "hold my hand"
May not get around to it til Sat afternoon or Sunday though.

I'm working with the same situation as the OP. You posted a link to a second recovery to flash after Amon Ra, I've tried that link and it forces me to request access. Which recovery is it and is there another link or are you able to give me access to that one?
Hey guys.
I am a complete newb with most this stuff.
I am not sure how I look at RUU I have. I will say that my phone was pretty much stock through the official ICS release.
Currently I have CM9 flashed as my rom.
Is there anyway I can S-OFF my phone?

If you haven't already, I would say start by checking out unlimited.io They have all the basic details about how to achieve S-OFF. Without knowing more specifics about your setup it would be hard someone to give a more specific answer.

Yea I have went there.
I have the program downloaded. I am on Gray's CM9 rom.
Followed all the instructions. When the program runs it goes like this:
Starting up....
Connecting to device....
Searching device.....
Found device......
Backing up.....
Permission denied.....
Transferring backups....
Secondary backup FAILED!!
Press ENTER to exit.
like I said my phone was stock till the official ICS update released. After that I unlocked the boot loader and just recently flashed my first rom, through Amon Ra.
If I could kindly ask you what info you need, and possibly how to access the info, to help me out. Do I need to flash a stock rom back?
---------- Post added at 08:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:29 PM ----------
I hope to god my hboot was stock. As I am running a previous RUU.
Hopefully once I do this, I will be able to S-OFF.

I flashed back to the first ICS RUU.
I think I know why it said permission denied. Because I didn't have actual root access.
At the point of trying the wire trick.
Edit: Achieved S-OFF. Thanks so much guys. Going from 3 days ago of flashing my first rom. To having to relock the device, run the first ICS Ruu, then doing the wire trick. Hell of a learning curve on these things. Thanks everyone for all the help.
Just a quick update. I was able to achieve S-Off while using this specific RUU. It took a few time flashing the RUU and a rooted rom to finally get it but it is possible with this RUU.

So this is what i've done and its failing with the error: "Secondary backup FAILED!!"
-I reset everything by using the RUU 4.03.605.2.
-I then set the debugging mode, unlocked the bootloader
-Put AmonRa3.15 as my recovery
-Flashed the CWM SuperSU.
-Confirmed root access by using TitaniumBackup.
-Started the ControlBearRelease_vigor_ICS_3.14.605.5 for the ICS leak process.
-Then I get the fun error Secondary backup FAILED!!.
I'm using the latest version of JuopunutBear 0.4. Help?
-------------update---------------
So I re-flashed the full RUU and went through all the steps and still same outcome. "Secondary backup Failed!". I read that only version .1 may work if this error occurs?

you can try backing up your sd cards and partition them before you start the control bear process, and your sure you have root access correct? via rootchecker, tatanium backup or somethin gand usb degugging checked? if your still having issues look for apophis' thread named "so you need assistance, WE ARE HERE TO HELP" post in that thread im sure he can help you walk thru it..
When I bought my rezound used it had a constant boot loop issue. That's why I got it fairly cheap. I immediayly ran the global ruu hoping it would boot. It still boot looped. I was able to unlock, flash recovery and install newts xxx. I have tried to boot other romsand they give me issues too. Is there any way I can s off in my current configuration because I am pretty confident another ruu from my sd card just won't boot. Has anyone had success being on a custom Rom w global firmware hboot 2.27?
As the title says, I'd like to restore the backup it creates. I have a problem with my phone where it receives zero signal regardless of what rom installed. I have seen a different thread on this problem but there was no clear answer on how to solve it so I'm trying to backtrack my steps. I did the following all at the same time, htc unlock, s-off exploit with Juopunut, and sim unlock using config.dat. They all seemed to work perfectly until I got this problem. I'd ask for support at umlimited.io but when I did they insisted they didn't create the problem and if I persisted in asking how to restore their Juopunut backup I'd be kicked...which was kinda rude, but what are you going to do? Thanks in advance for any help.
what is your radio version? I'd suggest updating to latest radios. or maybe you did something wrong with the sim unlock

Didn't even know the radio version could be upgraded/ downgraded. I did a quick search for this but didn't find where to grab a download. Where can I find an update for this? The radio version is 11.25.3504.06_M Also note that this is a GSM phone. So if this is a different incompatible version let me know!
Edit: So, I managed to find some, but when the bootloader trys to flash it it'll give me the message "Model ID incorrect!" This is from the GSM thread...what's going on?
your CID is incompatible. I'd suggest you run an RUU with the latest radios. then flash recovery and then rom.

It's not the CID, I just rewrote it to HTC__001, unless it's expecting something else? It was originally ROGER001 I think.
Edit: I just noticed something, when in fastboot mode the model name is SHOOTER_U, Is there always a underscore there?
hmm not sure about this. If you want to get back to stock you should run the Rogers ICS RUU. see if you get signals back

Alright, will do. Is there anything I have to do in preparation, relock bootloader, etc?
yes you do need to relock. sorry i forgot to mention that
Well, the RUU update software completely fails. It fails at trying to get the phone to boot into the bootloader and then just pops up a message saying unknown error 155. Anyone know what the hell is going on with my phone?
i think the problem may be your hboot. Try flashing this hboot
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1906172
then make sure its locked/relocked then run RUU
Finally got it to install, I had to extract the rom.zip from the .exe and then rename it so that hboot would detect it. Installed fine, but the problem still persists. I have no signal what so ever. Is there no fix for this?
you just installed the rom. u need the radio with it too. Any ways i think some1 else should post in here as im all out of ideas
Does your phone see your sim card? Have you set up your apn's? Can you find a wifi and connect?
Sent from my Evo 3D GSM using Tapatalk 2
Yes, wifi connects, bluetooth connects. I'm pretty sure that the rom.zip is actually everything, it ha s a check list when installing, one of those things was called radio...so I'm pretty sure it installed a new or reinstalled that version. ALso, APNs don't do anything. It's almost like a driver issue or something, the radio just won't get a signal, android doesn't even detect it. When in the options the mobile network toggle is greyed out.
Ok and what rom are you trying to use?
Sent from my Evo 3D GSM using Tapatalk 2
It's the stock ROGERS RUU, I had to extract the ROM.zip file from it because the .exe gave me a unknown error. renaming the .zip to PG86IMG.zip seemed to work. I'm now on stock. The previous roms were nonsense and coolsense. I should also note that originally I tried to install a cdma miui rom that obviously failed.
So your mobile data is still greyed out? Have you tried to find a network through the mobile data settings

And count yourself lucky because you could have bricked your phone if you had flashed a cdma firmware package
Sent from my Evo 3D GSM using Tapatalk 2
Yes, it searches for a while, then find a few networks which I'm taking a as a good sign that it even did that, but will not connect at all. When I select one it trys to open a toast error but then is closed immediately after, so I can't even read the error. When I check the network info in the android phone identity it just shows nothing, zero for signal, no network, etc.
Could be sim unlock that did? But I am guessing
Sent from my Evo 3D GSM using Tapatalk 2
Alright, so I've made some progress. I found that this is actually model PG8631000 instead of PG8630000 which is why it failed checks. A quick edit of the android-info.txt in the zip files allows it to flash. No problems with that, flashed new hboots and radios. However, the problem is still there. So finally I found a radio fix program for linux. Booted it up and it appears that my phone won't give any MEID values, they were probably wiped or something. I can't progress because with the wrong values I can completely brick the phone. This makes sense that the phone doesn't have the right values, it feels like the radio works, but has the incorrect values (which is why it finds services but won't connect). Is there any way to restore the MEID?
Edit: Well I'm an idiot, MEID is for CDMA phones. My phone status shows values for the network so that isn't it either....I'm so lost.
Hello friends,
One of my friends has got an HTC Amaze 4G from the US. The phone is already factory sim unlocked. He's given this phone to me because he wanted it to read and write Arabic letters and RTL in general.
I got this phone, what I've already done till I had the problem was, unlocking bootloader -> installing EXT4 -> got a patch from Hasoon2000 (Link to the original thread) -> EXT4 Recovery for wiping cache, dalvik and fixing permissions -> Flashed the Arabic Patch zip -> Wooops! the phone is stuck at the HTC screen.
I've searched the forums for an RUU to get the phone back and fix the soft brick. All what I found were RUUs for different carriers from CA and US (RUU collections thread)
Later on, I relocked the bootloader, downloaded this RUU
PH85IMG_Ruby_TMOUS_1.43.531.3_Radio_1.08.550L.19DC _30.66.550L.08D_release_228638_signed.zip
Put it on an Ext SD card, went to fastboot bootloader, it started detecting the ZIP and finished showing this error "Incorrect Phone ID"
Then I downloaded this one (Asian RUU) too after some searching.
PH85IMG_Ruby_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.60.707.3_R_Radio_1.13.550L.13DC_30.69b.550L.101_release_253820_signed.zip
The fastboot detected it but ended up with going back to bootloader main menu without any prompts or errors.
Finally, I am clueless and came here to ask you for your help and suggestions to overcome this problem.
Notes:
-The phone is Factory Sim Unlocked and does not have any names of any carries burnt into it (Unbranded Phone).
-After finishing the process of unlocking bootloader, I saw the list of the languages selectable were English (Singapore), English (Pakistan), and other Asian languages and no US and EU languages were present (That's why I was trying to install the RUU of Asia)
-The phone is on Stock GB 2.3.4, stock kernel, and EXT4 Recovery.
Thanks all
Have you tried restoring a backup. Can you boot into the bootloader and recovery?. If so you just need to figure out why this device is unbranded. I never seen an amaze unbranded unless the digitizer was replaced at some point. Was this phone ics or gingerbread before it was tampered with?
Sent from my VLE_U using xda app-developers app
if by unbranded you mean the phone just has HTC and no other carrier lable on it then its most likely the Canadian version from Wind Mobile or Telus or Mobilicity. and as far as you downloading the RUUs have you renamed them to PH85IMG.zip before trying to flash them in bootloader? another easy way to find out what stock ruu you need is to check your HBOOT version on the boot loader so you can see what stock RUU's are compatible with it

Unfortunately, I have not taken any backup, as I assumed at first that the process is quite simpler (which is already is). I already ran at much harder work than this one with ios, symbian, bada, and android.
Yes, I can boot into the bootloader and recovery.
I neither know the reason for unbranding the device.
It was Stock Gingerbread 2.3.4
Thank you for your appreciated time and help.

Could you tell me how to know which stock RUUs are compatible with the phone?
Note: I ran across this thread, but I don't actually know whether S-off and SuperCid would help me in my case or not. I don't want to put water into soil
My Cid is the same as his one, HTC_044.

I'd wait for a 2nd opinion to be sure, but the HBOOT looks like mine did on Gingerbread which is a US T-Mobile brand.
I'd also wait to get a working RUU on it before doing S-Off and super cid. But, once you do both, you'll be able to flash any carrier's RUU.

I will try flashing other RUUs till the moment I get a second opinion.
Thank you Wolf.
Just figured out why the Asian RUU did not get flashed in the bootloader, as the package contains 4 bad files (CRC errors); you can see the 4 files in the attached screenshot.
One guy also had those bad crc errors before, Thread.
Therefore, the only solution to my problem is to s-off and supercid to get another RUU from other carriers to work.
The question is, is there anyway to s-off the phone from the bootloader?
Because the JuopunutBear method requires the phone to be on (operating normally), USB Debugging on, and fast boot off from power options.
Hope someone helps me.
Thanks all
EDIT: Just finished downloading the ruu from another mirror, Winrar does not show any errors!
will transfer it to SD, and retry.
wish me luck guys.
UPDATE: The phone is back to life again! Time to backup!
wait you were on GB i would have updated to ICS before trying to flash any custom roms, most roms are designed for android 4.0+ let me see if i can find u a stock GB RUU
---------- Post added at 09:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 AM ----------
ohh okay didnt see you had it up and running, this time do an official update to ICS before trying to flash anymore roms, and always remember to do a NANdroid backup before flashing any and all roms, once you update to ICS you should S-OFF your phone and superCID it so this way next time you can restore to stock with any RUU from any carrier, good luck and happy flashing and dont forget to hit that thanks button for ppl that offer help/advice ^^
plz share the link for the Custom ROM
" Just finished downloading the ruu from another mirror, Winrar does not show any errors!"

hey,
I bought HTC amaze 4g in Lahore, Pakistan. When I bought it, it was locked with S-ON and gingerbread v2.3.4 running on it. I waited for few days so i can get an ICS update through OTA but it never happened and there were slim chances that it would happen. Since i bought it here in Pakistan so there was no carrier attached to my phone so my stock ROM is not made for any specific carrier.
Now i have unlocked the phone (HTC BOOTLOADER METHOD) and then rooted my phone as well. So far its working fine with the stock ROM and everything. Now i want to update my amaze to ICS. i have read so much and tried to find some suitable way to achieve this but failed.
Can anyone guide me through this whole procedure with same case scenario as mine?? I have been sitting infront of the laptop for like 2 consecutive days and i have almost lost all hope to see my amaze running ICS ... so if anyone can help me out with this regard i would be very thankful ...

There's no unbranded RUU for the Amaze, so there isn't really any ICS update for you. The only thing you'll have to do is pick the T-Mobile ICS RUU and go on from there.

Thanks alot for your reply. But that is exactly what i want to do and being not able to do ...
Actually let me put my case more appropriately.
1. I want to update my phone to ICS but then again don't want to loose my warranty (which right now is lost as the phone is un locked and rooted). So before going to update my OS i would like to make sure i can un-lock/lock and root/un-root it? un-lock and rooting part is done now its the reverse mechanism i am seeking help with. No custom or stock rom has been flashed on my bootloader so far.
i have CWM recovery installed on my phone i have made a backup of my phone through it, which i saved on my pc as well as the phone storage now that would be my stock roms image please correct me if i am wrong?
2. And then in the second step i would like to update my os to ICS for that reason i had visited this thread
[Collection] HTC Ruby/Amaze 4G Stock ROMs (RUUs & OTAs)
Thread By: krook6023
and from here i can download the RUU you are talking about right? But wouldn't the software build or kernel version difference make it un successful updation?
if not then i will download one of those RUU's but guide me through with the next steps actually required to update it currently the phone is Un-locked, rooted and S-ON.
I know i am being too naive about things but this is my first android device and i really don't want to mess it up but that doesn't mean i haven't done research i have been reading stuff but as long as i don't get it done once by my hand i think i wont be comfortable doing it, hence require guidance.
Thanks in advance.

put the RUU into the root of the sdcard, it must be named PH85IMG.zip to be detected so rename it if it isnt.
turn off fastboot if its on (find it yourself) power off the phone and then power it on by holding pwr and down on the volume key
OR turn off the phone and then pull the battery, replace and power on using pwr and volume down. Then you will see the menu and choose fastboot it will check the RUU and take a long time then it will say press a key to flash the update, do it. wait a while. even if it seems to take a while dont pull the battery. when the phone boots do the setup and then in google market get ES file explorer and use it to rename the PH85IMG.zip to PH85IMG_1.zip or something so it wont detect it and start the long RUU check if you just want to get into the recovery.
I leave the RUU on my sd card just renamed cause ive had some funny problems and this can save your ass
hope this helped,

Hey,
Well i can help you with unlocking bootloader but i haven't done S-Off mine is still S-On. For unlocking your bootloader i am attaching this word file for you which contains all the steps that are required to unlock your bootloader.
And yes everything on your phones internal memory get wiped once you unlock the and reboot your phone. But things stored on the external memory wont be touched they will stay intact. So before unlocking do make a backup of all your applications and store it on your pc and later on put it back on your sd card and download the recovery software you used before to make backup to do restore this time... Hope that would help you.
Isnt your method for 2.3.6? This guy has ics. I have the same tmobile one I simply used hasoon tool to unlock bootloader install recovery and root. Havent done s=off yet. I dont see the point of s=off and supercid yet. Still confused as to if I need them or not

Hi,
Well with regard to just unlocking bootloader the method i sent him would work just fine whether it is ICS or GG. But to install recovery and rooting you need extra steps which he didn't asked for and yes you can do that with the hasoon all in one tool kit.

Well daniyal i haven't done S-Off yet as i wrote in my previous posts and what i have read in the articles and discussions its a little cumbersome method to achieve that since i haven't done it myself. For youtube part if you want to use youtube you can download and use hotspot shield. Just download it and connect it and it will allow you to use youtube. I hope this helps you.
Also studying in Pakistan and a question does your phone have tmobile logo? If so then do the ph85img method mentioned earlier (don't worry it won't mess up your device) and you don't really need to s-off if you use 4ext recovery which is the best imo. Right now I am on vacation (back in us) but I come back first week of january if you still can't figure this out or feel too scared just call me up (I will pm you my number) and I can walk you through it on the phone quite simple (and if you want to s-off and I can help you with that too) would do it personally if you were in karachi...

Well this is great to have some to talk to in person. It would be doubly great if you could help out with the original questions i posted in the start of my thread. Thanks.
If you want to update it to ICS, most likely, you will have to S-Off it, as there are probably no RUUs that will work with your phone's CID.
It would be helpful if you told us what your CID was. To obtain the CID code from your phone, use the included attachment, extract it to an accessible location, and then boot your phone in FASTBOOT mode, not the BOOTLOADER mode. After you boot in there, plug in the USB cable to the computer.
After you've done that, double click on the file, CID.bat
Let the command run, and then go in the folder where you extracted the files to, and there should be a file called CIDNUMBER.log. Copy the result and then post it here.

Anyone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think there is a RUU you can use with that CID.
It *IS* possible to have the phone update to ICS, but what is *NOT* possible (as of now, because of no RUU for your CID), is to have the phone downgrade back to GB if you need it for warranty purposes. In this scenario, it's an one way street.
You have 2 options really, to leave your phone as is, or to S-OFF the phone in order to update the phone to ICS.

In either case to update to ICS or to get the locked (not relocked) status back with S-on for warranty purposes i need to do S-off isn't that right?
Well for now my amaze is unlocked and rooted so warranty is out of the window and i cant get it back to locked status it always says relocked so i would like to move forward and then with the help of guys like you i would like to get back to original stock if possible.
so whats the next step for me to get my phone to ICS? If i have to do S-off whats the easiest way of achieving it and after achieving it what are the next steps to perform upgradation?

Do share your findings when you do that....
Ok, I give up. I've tried everything I can think of, but I can't get 4G to stick on, and trying to run the 3.06 RUU gives me error 170.
Here's what happened. Yesterday I flashed Kickdroid 2.0 with the CDMA patch from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2634126
- Everything seemed to install fine, and initially 4G was up. But within about a minute 4G disconnected and I no longer had any mobile data.
- So then I did a full complete wipe via TWRP - doing the factory reset, then using the advanced wipe on everything except internal storage - then restored my backup of BadSeed's Tranquil rom. It came up fine initially but then within about a minute 4G disconnected and I was put back at 3G.
- Re-wiped everything same as before, then flashed the Tranquil Rom from scratch. - Same problem. 4G connects initially then drops to 3G.
- Updated TWRP to the beta .6 version as suggested by the Kickdroid dev and re-flashed and did all those same steps again and still having same problem
- At one point last night I left the phone alone and after a long time with the kickdroid Rom re-flashed it asked me which carrier I had. I chose Verizon and then 4G stuck on for a while. Then, it lost it's connection again to 4G. This Rom never gave me any 'Service'. The lockscreen always said 'no service'
- This morning, I flashed the latest Viper and it too initially gives me 4G then about a minute later that drops and I'm stuck on 3G.
- I thought maybe it was my SIM card, so I put it in my rezound and it works just fine in that phone.
- I've been trying to RUU using the 3.06.605.4 RUU from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2612740 but I keep getting error 170 saying that the device wasn't found and to plug in my usb cable.
I suspect that there is something in the CDMA patch that has done this. I say that in hopes to help narrow the problem down not to blame anyone, as I do accept the responsibility to what I have flashed on my phone, so please don't take it that way. I don't know what could remain after wiping and re-flashing but it seems as thought something has.
Anyhoo, I'm getting a little desperate at this point and hoping someone can help me out. Much appreciated...
Try flashing the recovery flashable radio?
Something could have borked the radio partition.

Try flashing the recovery flashable radio?
Something could have borked the radio partition.

Lol, of course the one thing I forgot to mention that I did. I flashed the radio from .torrented's thread as well.
I think at this point I'd like to just RUU it anyway. Could it be that my bootloader is still unlocked and I have TWPR as my recovery?
Thanks a lot guys...

Ok, I give up. I've tried everything I can think of, but I can't get 4G to stick on, and trying to run the 3.06 RUU gives me error 170.
Here's what happened. Yesterday I flashed Kickdroid 2.0 with the CDMA patch from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2634126
- Everything seemed to install fine, and initially 4G was up. But within about a minute 4G disconnected and I no longer had any mobile data.
- So then I did a full complete wipe via TWRP - doing the factory reset, then using the advanced wipe on everything except internal storage - then restored my backup of BadSeed's Tranquil rom. It came up fine initially but then within about a minute 4G disconnected and I was put back at 3G.
- Re-wiped everything same as before, then flashed the Tranquil Rom from scratch. - Same problem. 4G connects initially then drops to 3G.
- Updated TWRP to the beta .6 version as suggested by the Kickdroid dev and re-flashed and did all those same steps again and still having same problem
- At one point last night I left the phone alone and after a long time with the kickdroid Rom re-flashed it asked me which carrier I had. I chose Verizon and then 4G stuck on for a while. Then, it lost it's connection again to 4G. This Rom never gave me any 'Service'. The lockscreen always said 'no service'
- This morning, I flashed the latest Viper and it too initially gives me 4G then about a minute later that drops and I'm stuck on 3G.
- I thought maybe it was my SIM card, so I put it in my rezound and it works just fine in that phone.
- I've been trying to RUU using the 3.06.605.4 RUU from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2612740 but I keep getting error 170 saying that the device wasn't found and to plug in my usb cable.
I suspect that there is something in the CDMA patch that has done this. I say that in hopes to help narrow the problem down not to blame anyone, as I do accept the responsibility to what I have flashed on my phone, so please don't take it that way. I don't know what could remain after wiping and re-flashing but it seems as thought something has.
Anyhoo, I'm getting a little desperate at this point and hoping someone can help me out. Much appreciated...

I would expect a problem later on if it were the bootloader being locked still, not int he beginning and then saying that the device isn't found. Or am I totally wrong and should just re-lock the bootloader and try again?

Well you mention error 170, usually its HTC Driver outdated, thats the reason that I suggest Driver update.
thought first have a working ADB/fastboot to see your phone. usb 2
you need to lock the Bootloader in order to run Ruu 3.06.exe (no problem because after RUU is done, Rumrunner unlock and S-Off Thanks to beaups
you need to update the Stock Hboot version to 3.06. thanks to Torrented
Here the link updated thanks to Phaded http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293919&highlight=flash+radio

I tried the updated drivers earlier and still get the error 170. I'm wondering if there is just something wonky with my work computer that isn't working right. I'll try locking bootloader and running RUU from a laptop and see what happens. Thanks for the assist! :highfive:

a pleasure
Any other android devices hooked up to that PC? I had 170 error when having both Rezound and DNA plugged in. The program may be trying to look at the other device port instead of the DNA port.
Try with locked boot loader and stock recovery. After I got rid of error 170 I got an error in the 150's (not the one mentioned in the ruu thread). It was because of custom splash image and custom recovery.

Interesting, I don't have anything connected, but I'm sure I have drivers loaded for my nexus 7
Which drivers for HTC are you using? The ones from HTC sync or the ones from pdanet? I found the pdanet ones work better for everything but HTC sync (which, who honestly uses? Lol)
Sent from my DNA using my mind.
Well, I let htcsync update the usb drivers and now the RUU is updating the image now.
Ok, this persisted through the RUU. Rom booted up, got 4G initially, then went to 3G.

after Ruu you most do a factory reset* from stock recovery
All that is usually needed is to restore the NV partitions on the device.
To do this, flash a stock rom and stock recovery.
Perform a factory reset in stock recovery.
Your radio should then function normally again.
No need to RUU or any of that, just a stock rooted rom and stock recovery are sufficient.
The key factor is the factory reset in stock recovery.
So if you did the RUU already, and did not do the factory reset in stock recovery, then that's why you still have an issue.

glad :good: you got it !
@santod040 which stock rom do I need to flash and what is stock recovery? Do I have to do this with adb comands or use twarp like normal flash so I can get my radio working correctly again and 4g back? Any one that can point me to what I need to do here is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

My full odex stock Rom in the dev section is sufficient.
If there isn't a stock recovery posted anywhere I'll locate one for you.
Then you flash the Rom in your current recovery.
After you boot, reboot to hboot.
Then fastboot flash recovery nameoffile.img.
Then either factory reset from Recovery or from the roms settings option.

Pls locate stock recovery as I am not sure which one to use. I am downloading your odexed stock rom as we speak. I appreciate this very much! @santod040

After boot type in command prompt reboot to hboot or can I just type adb devices and then flash recovery
