Begging For Help - HTC Amaze 4G

I think the only way to fix my phone not have a visible screen for HBOOT and Recovery is to S-OFF and flash HBOOT.
The problem is that I CANNOT root this phone.
Hasoons AIO kit does NOTHING.
Zergroot One Click does NOTHING
I found a different HTC One Click that also did nothing (It said "okay" for each item then failed to show binary)
I would LOVE to be able to just log into recovery and simply install the SU.apk from the sd card but I cannot see
recovery. It is there but I cannot see it.
Please offer another route.

ADB push?... Sent you a pm
e-Sex.. All of the carpral none of the tunnel

My toolkit DOES work, just so know. All other methods like Zerg rush doesn't work. If you need to fix your hboot, just flash the ruu.
Also, make one thread with all your questions and not multiple. Save us time rather than wasting it and flipping back and forth.

I have already done a new RUU. Not saying that the toolkit doesn't work. It clearly does since I am the only one with this issue. Why is it not working for me? I have made multiple threads to try and gather some new knowledge because up to this point nothing has worked. I don't understand why with a new RUU I still have black screens for hboot and recovery.

Why after following the steps in your toolkit is my phone not rooted. Understand I am NOT saying your toolkit has a problem I am saying what is wrong with my phone?!?!

Also what version of Android are you using? You have have to an old RUU for some of these root methods to work, just a thought.

Revolutionary 1.5 hboot update

Anybody know when the new revolutionary 1.5 hboot update is being released? I bought my phone from Best Buy and the sales rep took it upon herself to update my phone for me. HTC's way is gay and I'd rather wait.

haven't seen anything posted yet. the best places to contact (or be in contact with) revolutionary is their irc channel on freenode, #revolutionary.
it will be interesting to see how they approach supporting the later version, i.e. whether they completely replace the bootloader or exploit htc's unlock method.
we all anxiously await!
Appreciate it. I've been searching for a week now.

I learned the hard way and updated without thinking. So ill have to wait. Maybe wait to see what the options are after ICS is released.

I've been looking at these forums everyday for over a month and there's still no root. Does anyone have an idea of how close they are to obtaining root??

htc method works for me. its a little annoying to flash a rom (need to do fastboot boot recovery to flash it) but it's still full root and stuff.
the title is a bit misleading. and I hope it breaks through soon
i just got my fone off of ebay today. it was already updated. guess im dead in the water for now
I used HTC's method to unlock and get root, I am on 2.5 and updated as well because my first intentions for the phone was not to root it, and now I am kicking my ass for updating to 1.50 Hboot. But either way, here is how HTC's method has worked for me in case any of you are thinking about doing it and wondering if it is worth the trouble. Yes, it is worth the trouble. Instructions and time to do it all in all wasn't even that bad in my opinion, and now at least I can flash roms (which I have been doing a lot this past week back and fourth). However I want a pure AOSP rom, with pretty much NOTHING sense, no sense dialer apk, contacts apk, evo stock messaging apk... a lot of the "AOSP" roms out there now still have some of these things that I have tried. So basically I want CM 7, cuz that's the best AOSP rom I have ever used... and I downloaded the Alpha build from Toast, but it requires S-OFF.. which doing HTC's method does not turn S-OFF... so it makes me sad So hopefully this gets kickin soon!

I had no idea HTC forces two or more men to engage in sexual acts just to get the boot loader unlocked. That is just not right!
Oh wait, I did the HTC method and had no sexual contact with another male. I think you'll be fine there pal.

But you have no clue what is happening in HTC's server room or software development office. The homosexual acts may be taking place on their side.
BTW, if some tech support person updated my phone for me automatically, I'd tell them I didn't want it and they can change the phone.
Haha, agreed with the user above me!

Here are the instructions I went to and followed and worked just fine. the website requires you to create an account before you view the goodness, but of course that is free. Other than that, you just need to download a few things; one being the HTC Sync program, and a couple of Zip files, but after you do that, follow the instructions and you'll be good to go! Need any other help please don't hesitate, feel free to ask!

I did the HTC 1.5 "rooting" method successfully.
My problem now is that adb won't recognize my phone when I'm in fastboot (trying to flash ROM/Kernal). If I'm in the ROM it recognizes it, if I'm in recovery it recognizes it, when I did the 1.5 "root" it recognized it.
However when I get to the point of trying to fastboot into recovery it doesn't see it using the "adb devices" command.
I've tried reinstalling SDK several times, I've tried reinstalling the USB drivers several times, I've tried all of it on two different computers (one xp, one windows seven), debugging is allowed and fast boot is not checked.
This is a problem for flashing ROMs AND Kernals obviously.
Any ideas?

that's because you need to use fastboot, not adb, when you're in fastboot. google htc fastboot drivers g1. they're for the g1 but work fine for all other htc phones. put it in the same directory as adb. and the command is
fastboot devices
so yeah, there's your problem
omg I was stuck on a step that was already completed....thanks for your help! First droid, first root, first flash successful

That's your current option at this point in time.
Team Revolutionary has already the patch.. i presume they're working on it and they'll release soon but there's no ETA .. we're on the same boat .. HBOOT 1.49.0011 and 1.50 same exploit tool i guess..
My advice to all - is to wait for team rev's update!
Cheer!

[Q] Some help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello all, I have been coming to this site for a few months and have found a wealth of helpful info in that time for my previous phone, which was an HTC Desire. I recently switched to a new carrier (T-Mobile) and I got an HTC Amaze 4G. This phone came with ICS already installed. I have browsed through many threads, and read many pages in several threads on making the phone S-Off, unlocking bootloader, and have yet to really understand what exactly I need to do to root my device.
My goal is to just get me phone rooted so that I can install superuser and so I can use some backup/recover apps, remove/freeze most of the bloatware preoinstalled on the phone, and maybe install some custom Roms sometime in the future.
The only thing I have accomplished currently is unlocking bootloader. I still have S-On and Hboot 1.93.0002. I hate to sound like a noob, but after reading through many threads, I am still not sure what exactly I have to do to get this phone rooted.
Can anyone share some info that will help me get my Stock HTC Amaze 4G with stock ICS preinstalled rooted please? I can certainly use some help.
Now that you have unlocked bootloader I think you want to flash a recovery. Download hasoons all in one tool, check that you have usb debugging checked to perform functions. Most users are using 4ext. After recovery is installed flash super user.

I will need to have S-Off before I can use his program, correct? I will need to use the wire trick to get S-Off I assume after reading some threads....
Where I am getting confused is it says I have to be rooted before I can do the wire trick to go S-Off.... but I can't figure out how to get rooted first.
**EDIT**I just watched the video from Hasoons program on doing the wire trick, seems simple enough. Only problem is according to the instruction page on the juopunutbear S-Off page, I have to be rooted as a prerequisite before I can do the wire trick, and I can't seem to be able to figure out how exactly to root my device after I unlocked the bootloader. Getting a head ache from this
Don't look at the S-Off program. Look at this instead.

[Q] Unrooted and Stuck at HTC screen/reset

Ok. Hey All. First post. I will try to include everything. First: I am a noob.
My problem is that I power on, see the HTC white screen, then, reset. OVER and OVER.
(Background) I had root via Revolutionary. no troubles. was running JellyBlur. Pretty sure I had the correct radios. Were some issues here and there. Probably bad flash/not wiping/etc. (data connectivity/ringer issues) Who knows. Either way..... had 4EXT as recovery. That was past. Not sure if anymore info would be needed as this is not the trouble.
I unrooted via a guide i found on here. Did it just fine, as far as I could tell. The two h_boot/ no h_boot files. I got back to stock. S-on. Phone was fine.
Maybe a week or two later, BOOM, i looked at it and it was in the process of one of it's famous resets. I didnt think much of it. But it never came back on. Just kept looping to the HTC screen and turning back on. Over and over, like i said. It had been fine. I did nothing tech wise to bring this about.
I have tired taking out sd card. NOPE. Formatted SD card. NOPE. Searched for and tried to load through hboot pg05img files...not sure if they were the same ruu or different ones.....NOPE. (files were named correctly.) it finds the files. unpacks them. asks to update. YES. reboots....back to loop.
my screen shows....
.LOCKED mecha xd ship s-on h_boot - 1.05.0000 microcrop-1 radio - 1.49.00.04.06w_1 emmc-boot jul 19, 2011 14:51:08
as i said, i do not have root or recovery bc i had unrooted sucessfully. cant do adb(not sure what all that is but i can follow instructions well) bc i cant get anything other that hboot screen. i have tried to do the update/unzip ruu numerous times, downloaded from different threads/sources. NOPE.
when it finds the pg05img file, well right before, it does say some image or file is missing. something very similar but a bit different. if you know what that is cool. i can recreate if needed. i will do whatever it takes to win this. i hate losing. already got another bolt but i want this one back.
being a noob, i am not sure what i am leaving out here. i read somewhere that some image may be missing. my logic tells me there is SOMETHING i can put on that SD card to get the phone to load something. im stuck. any help would be most most appreciated.
Maybe try an .exe via computer.

[Q] Unrooted, unlocked S-on but can't get custom ROM

So, I have gone through the whole process of rooting my phone, unlocking it. I have TWRP on it, Titanium backup (thankfully), Goo Manager. It is S-on. I have 2.09 Hboot. My TWRP-jewel is 2.5.0.0. Ok, now onto my question, I am trying to get CM-10 to load but it doesn't go any further than the load screen. No matter what I try. I have even tried switching to JellyBAM but all to no avail. Can someone offer me tips as to what I may have done or be doing wrong? Thanks in advance
[Q] trying to put CM10 on my rooted phone
Forgive me if I put this in the wrong group, but I feel this is probably the right one for it. I have Hboot 2.09. I have TWRP. I have S-on. I want to put CM10 with Gapps onto my phone but every way I have tried, CM10 just sits there and loops around, the longest being an hour. I figured some time was possible, but come on. Over on Google+, people are telling me to flash this and flash that, fastboot this or that. I have no idea what they are trying to say to me. I am loving learning all of this but I need a little more explanation than just flash something. I realize that flash has something to do with commands. I am running windows 8 if that helps on my laptop. My TWRP version is 2.5.0.0. I don't know if my phone has gone through the latest update or not. Thanks for any help you can give me!
You have to install the kernel separately from the ROM since you're S-on. Click the link in my sig for more info.
You most likely have the newest touch panel driver, so you can only use ROM's based off the latest OTA, software version 3.16. Your touchscreen won't work otherwise. You can gain S-off and downgrade your touch panel driver, at which point you can run AOSP ROM's like CM.

First of all you might be on the newest touch panel driver, and that's the first thing that gets you in trouble because aosp roms don't work with that, as of now, it might work later... Who knows... Secondly you need to flash the boot.img separately thru fastboot because your are s-on and on 2.09... To make your life easier try to get s-off either thru facepalm or dirty racun... That way you can flash any rom and also downgrade your touch panel driver to get aosp working on your phone... If you flash viper rom it has a senseless option so you can use nova and get stability and some sort of aosp look... Good luck!
Sent from my EVO
Yes, S-off is the way to go if you want to run CM. Otherwise, try meanbean or viper or sharkie or any other sense based Rom. They should work fine.

ADB commands must be issued when the phone is mounted as media share not as fastboot. Connect your phone as if you were transferring files between it and your pc.

I do have it connected to the computer like that. Do you mean I have to go into TWRP and mount it that way? I tried it that way too. I downloaded and whole new android SDK to see if that is the problem. If not, I am going to factory reset my phone and start over. I can't imagine why I was able to root the phone, get it unlocked, but now I can't do anything else with it. Not even get adb commands to recognize it.

I am so confused with all the steps and files I had to download, rename and save to various folders that I gave up. With my phone at its current state what do I do next? I deleted all the files from the day I unlocked it but if you can explain to me... And explain like if I was a five year old cuz I'm that dumbfounded on this subject...

[Q] Unlocked bootloader, but still S-on after trying many things

Hello to all.
I have not rooted a phone in quite a while, since the original Evo. Here's the rundown of what I've been experiencing lately:
I unlocked the bootloader using the HTC dev method, it went smooth. To obtain s-off (I was on the latest OTA of 3.17.651.5), I attempted rumrunner. Everything went fine until I got an error with rumrunner. I then tried the windroid toolkit, flashed TWRP (v2.7.1.0) which was a success. When I flashed superuser from windroid, it rebooted me to recovery to flash the zip file "superuser.zip", but it did nothing. I looked on this forum and found a supersu zip file. I tried flashing a couple versions of the supersu (1.25, 2.01) but no luck. For every one I attempted to flash, I would get the message that said successful but no s-off. After confirming the flash, it would say "flashing file 1 of 1", but then switch to saying "flashing file 1 of 0". I ended up flashing a rom (CM11-20131217), which put the phone into a bootloop (I got this resolved by downgrading to TWRP 2.6.3.0, flashing the kernel for the CM11, then flashing the rom, which of course still kept me S-on.)
So basically, I have an unlocked bootloader, with TWRP 2.6.3.0 as a recovery, on CM11-20131217 build, yet I'm still S-on. Is there a certain version of supersu or superuser that I should be flashing? How can I achieve S-off?
Additional information that may help:

Thanks to anyone that can be of assistance!
You have to run Rumrunner again. But flash stock rooted before you do (I don't know if it'll work while on CM).
Thanks for the quick reply. I will give that a shot, hope it does work. Is there a certain version of that I should flash before running rumrunner again?

Okay, thanks!
After getting some time here and there, I attempted to flash a few stock rooted roms with no luck. I'm not sure if it's because of the rom that I am currently on. not s-off or what. A lot of the stock root roms I do find have a requirement that you must be s-off to flash. I even tried running RUU's (4.13.651.4 and 3.17.651.4) for specific roms, but they gave me errors and would not continue each time. I remember when rooting and gaining s-off was much simpler than this lol. I don't even know if it is worth continuing to keep trying.
Check the link below for a ROM that is S-on friendly. Make sure you follow the directions in the thread to get it installed. Once you've done this you can go for S-off, at which time you should be able to flash whatever ROM you'd like.

Thanks for that! It worked with meanbean. I ran rumrunner again and it gave me an error, saying something about an update on rumrunner.us. I gave firewater a shot, and after it said "the first bottle is open...chugging", the screen stays blank for a while and firewater instructs me to try again and ends the process. From what I read last night around my searches, I'm supposed to get a notification on the evo asking for superuser permission but that didn't happen. I'm guessing this is due to the wrong supersu being flashed.
Glad I got a little further, I'm just going to play around with it until something gives and I am s-off
There's a setting in the su app that will let you grant su access to all apps automatically and without a prompt. That should get rid of that problem.
I wouldn't go with those settings for any other purpose though, obviously.

I went into the SuperSU app and selected where the default access was set to grant. I ran firewater again with the normal method and weaksauce method with no luck, it's still doing the same thing. USB debugging is on, and the drivers are installed correctly as well.

Disable antivirus software on phone and pc.
It ain't nothing but a G thing baby... Lg G3 LGSL990
Weaksauce is an exploit for Verizon phones that can't be unlocked with HTC Dev so it's pointless to try it on the EVO LTE.

Also, while you need htc sync manager to unlock your boot loader, it usually really screws with any other adb tools, so uninstall that too.

This. Also make sure you're using USB 2.0 ports, as 3.0 ports can cause connectivity issues.

First thing is that in order to run any RUU device boot loader must be 're-locked to do this enter into fastboot plug in to pc and within your Android unlocker folder that u use to unlock your device hold shift and right click anywhere in the folder to open command window then type : fastboot oem lock . This will lock the bootloader, now you will be able to run RUU. Just keep in mind that you may only go up Android versions levels ,, running RUU will stabilize your device and fixes the sectors which u may have damaged during the moding in the RAM .. Now for obtaining S-OFF the only option for you (since u upgraded) is to use DirtyRacun witch uses Ubuntu Live CD method and it does work. ***Now, if you just want unlocked bootloader with SU permission so u can flash rooms (not firmware or radio) and don't care about S-OFF then let me know to show you the options available at this time .. I repeat *you may only go up in android versions , in case that is necessary to go down then you need to deal with the CID. By switching and modifying the CID only then you are allowed to downgrade the Android Build versions
Dirty Racun isn't the only option for S-off
He's already unlocked his bootloader and has root. He's on the latest firmware version for the old partition layout: it's well-documented that methods like Rumrunner work.
OP, here's the thread for Rumrunner. I suggest giving it a read:thumbup:

Thanks, I will look at that now. I tried disabling the antivirus as stated above and that didn't work either, so maybe this thread will give more detail to help me gain S-off.

Sorry for the late reply. Correct, I'm using mean bean. I'm using wifi while doing all of this, my service provider is AT&T.

Excuse my ignorance but but how did you get sprints HTC evo 4g LTE codename jewel to work on at&t. I didn't know you could do that. (hint: are you sure you have the right phone? )
Anyways. As long as its an HTC it should be fine right? The problem would be the same.
