[Q] Amaze boot loop please help! - HTC Amaze 4G

Hi,
I have factory unlocked htc amaze, s-on. i've unlocked its bootloader and uses 4EXT recovery. i had GB before and never had ICS on it.
I flashed CM10 rom and for some reason it's stuck on boot loop and i can't get it out of it. i tried to reflash it couple of times but nothing helps.
it comes up and if i'm not touching anything (and it's on lock screen stat) it can last and not reboot. however, when i open the lock screen in about 5 sec it reboots itslef.
anyone has an idea what could be the issue and how to resolve it?

---

If you scroll down in Q&A you find answers. But it looks to me you have to restore from back up relock & flash an ruu to whatever flag ship your phone is on then ota ics then reunlock the phone. Use the search button trust me it helps alot.

thanks, I will.
I've just tried putting the official ICS , rename it PH85IMG.zip and let the phone do the work. i hope this will resolve the issue.
but should i re-lock the bootloader for it to work?

Lol for some reason it's stuck on boot loop. The reason was u didnt read.
Put the ph85img.zip on root of SD card. RELOCK BOOTLOADER. This should bring u back to a relocked bootloader. Flash the ph85img.zip from bootloader and u will be fine. Next time read thoroughly so your first 2 posts on XDA aren't as embarrassing like the guy above me said... There r threads everywhere about this

indeed i wasn't reading thoroughly and thanks a lot for your help however, i did tried what you said and it says model id is incorrect and the update failed. what could be the reason? is the file itself incorrect? I downloaded the file version for T-Mobile as i don't know which carrier is this. i bought the phone in US but not from one of the carriers and it doesn't have any brand on it.
do you think i should try a different ics version?

It won't flash because the ruu checks your CID and if your cid isn't in that carriers ruu then it won't let it work. I wonder if you open the ph85img.zip on your computer and added your cid to it if it would work. Not saying to do that cuz idk if it will or not lol. Try all the other ruu and see if any woork
You will most likely have to s-off and then superCID before u will be able to flash any of the ruu's, but start off by finding out what your CID is by downloading the file I attached and extract that zip on your computer. Now boot your phone into bootloader, then select fastboot.. now connect phone via USB to computer and then open the cid.bat file inside the CID folder. Once its done running, a file should appear in the CID folder called cidnumber.log or somethin like that. Post here what it says

be sure to snoop around the android development area before asking. I think there's a few different links up. And you can always go to Cyanogen's website. they usually have the original RUU and proper instructions on how to do all of it.

I Could Only find it on XDA Chinas site. I don't believe we have ever had that RUU here.

U gotta register to download it, and be careful since its on a non English website and u have to depend on google translate. Use it at your own risk. Also I tried register to get the download link and I couldnt get it to work.
If I were you, I would just s-off your phone then super CID it and flash the tmo ruu or any other 1. Simple no prob

What I would do , not forcing you to do this, is to S-Off and change my CID to Super. Then flash a different carrieres ICS RUU. That's probably an easier way to get up to ICS speed.

Why were you trying to avoid it? It's actually pretty easy, and in the end will make other things easier too. Just make sure you read everything thoroughly, and if you aren't sure about something ask BEFORE you do it
