so I copied the JB RUU zip into the root of the sdcard(internal) and when I go into bootloader...it doesn't see it...any suggestions? i'm on hboot1.12
Ruu packages don't run from the bootloader, and never place any update packages on internal memory. Should anything go wrong you will be stuck in a seemingly endless loop of updating and rebooting. The ruu zip needs to be run from the desktop with the phone in fastboot. Unlimited.io has the directions on running the ruu zip.
can you help me with how to get my phone back to stock?
i'm rooted, bootloaded unlocked and running a custom ROM.
when I've tried to relock the bootloader and run the RUU from Windows, nothing happens...it just freezes.
what i'm trying to accomplish is to get all the latest firmware and radio without s-off...i can't do s-off because i don't have a windows 7 32-bit computer. i know it's a bit of a runaround but i figured i could go back to stock unrooted with the latest release and then reroot, unlock, and then load a custom ROM again with the latest firmware and radios...

Actually that's not exactly true. If he has an RUU.zip he can flash that through fast boot. You'll need to place the RUU.zip in his adb folder on the pc. Open a command window there. Then type
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip RUU.zip
Only RUU.exe files can be run from the computer. And in both cases he'll have to relock his phone before he runs or flashes anything.

You really should s-off. You can definitely do it on a 64 bit computer by booting a live CD of ubuntu 32 bit on a 64 bit computer. It's totally supported. Head on over to the dirtyracun thread. Or go directly to their website http://unlimited.io. They offer live support via there IRC channel. The link to their channel is right on the first page of their website.

Thank you for repeating and elaborating on what I said which was ruu zip is run from the desktop with phone in fastboot
when i relock my phone, my phone gets stuck in the bootloader and won't do anything, won't be recognized by the computer, and just gets stuck there with a "security warning". i can't get into recovery or anything...i have to re unlock it for me to be able to do anything. so how can i run fastboot through the computer if my phone is unrecognized by the computer when relocked?

The bootloader will only scan for the PJ75IMG file if it's in the root folder of your external SD card. It won't look for it in your internal storage. Remove the SD card and delete the file. You can then put the card back in your phone.

You know....you could've simply removed the SD card, then boot into the bootloader. After it finishes the scan for PJ75IMG, reinsert the SD, then boot into recovery. That's what I always do.
That way, I'm not forced to use another device, or boot back into Android (if I didn't wipe my OS).

Actually, the problem was a little more "involved". I got stuck in a boot loop trying to install the Sense 5 port on my phone (this was after I had done the touch panel driver update after downgrading it previously) and I forgot to delete it. Every time I booted to the bootloader, it automatically scanned for the file on the card, so I had no way of getting into recovery. I keep all my backups, etc., on my SD card, so removing it and booting the phone wasn't an option at the time

Forgive me if I don't fully understand your situation. This has happened to me many times with the touch panel zip. While I'm in the bootloop, I remove my SD. I boot into the bootloader, then reinsert it. That's when I boot into recovery. Simple and easy.
I don't mean to dwell on the matter, but I'm sure that someone will run into this problem while they have no pc access or alternate solutions for an extended period of time.

There's no Rom for it to boot to. You have to flash the TWRP recovery from Capt's if you haven't already, and then flash the Sense 5 Rom of your choice.

:highfive:Thanks. I guess I freaked out. Went back to recovery and TWRP 1b was installed, so I just cleared partitions, installed ROM and there it was. I should flash phones more often to get much more familiar.
... and then again... now after ROM flash, it get stuck on the ROM's splash window (Beanstalk 4.4, new partition ready, digital roaming fixed). GRRRR
SOLVED - It seens I didn't wipe partitions. Once that was done Beanstalk started set-up. D'uh

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

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.
I am a complete noob. Sprint Evo 3d 1.5 s-on, I have been running Viper IC3D for a month now, loving it,should have stuck with that. I wanted to try one of the Jelly Bean Roms, specifically the Team D.I.R.T. one, but I didn't want to have to keep flashing the two roms back and forth. Found out about Boot Manager Pro on here, and found a thread about using it with hboot 1.5 s-on. followed the instructions, booted into D.I.R.T. rom. fiddled with it, decided to go back to my phone rom. Boot Manager kept unexpectedly closing on me, wouldn't stay open long enough to do anything. So I went into recovery and restored my nandroid of Viper. But D.I.R.T. loaded! Said screw it, and wiped and reflashed Viper. D.I.R.T. loaded! Couldn't get anything but that ROM to load no matter what I did. Uninstalled Boot Manager, nothing but D.I.R.T.So I hunted around here and found a thread that said if all else failed, to manually remove Bootloader from sd and go from there. Did that, and it soft bricked my phone. I can get into recovery, but no matter what I do when I reboot it hangs in HTC white boot screen. I cannot afford another phone and don't get an upgrade til next year. Please Say there is a solution to this! I cried all last night, couldn't sleep, and I'm crying again. Side note, i accidentally erased half the C; Drive on my laptop trying things I found on another android forum,and system restore didn't work. So I'm back here, and I'm scared to try anything else, but I have to do something. Help!!!!!!
Flash the kernel. All will be well.
Viper rom should include boot.img.
Extract it to sdk-tools folder.
Open terminal, cd to sdk-tools directory.
Hold volume plus down on phone. Hit power button on fastboot option.
Plug in phone to computer. It should say fastboot usb on phone screen now. If not, install htc drivers.
Go to terminal. Type "fastboot flash boot boot.img
Should see some stuff happen on computer screen, phone will reboot.
Do that then report back.

I'm doomed. I was able to flash CWM this way, although it didn't help me at all. But I tried to flash the boot img and it didn't work. Didn't seem to recognize the command.
I'm cdma s-on? So basically you relocked and flashed an RUU and then relocked?
try to relock and flash with RUU it will work
At first when you were unable to boot back to phone rom, you should have went into recovery and flash the update.zip located in the sdcard/bootmanager/phonerom.
Anyway try to flash back to viperrom again then boot your recovery via fast boot since you are not s-off. And flash the update.zip from the phone rom folder. If everything fails just relock your bootloader and use the ruu.exe and you should be fine.

The command is: fastboot flash boot c:\(navigate to the sdk map with boot.img)\boot.img
For instance. for me it's c:\Users\(my name)\boot.img
Because i have my sdk and boot.img in my User map.
I believe boot manager creates the files for the second rom on the sd card. maybe thats why the D.I.R.T rom is loading.. My advice, try a different sdcard and see if the viper rom starts (you still might have to flash the boot.img via adb because of s-on)
I have no idea where the files for second rom are created so maybe if someone else could help out here. Then it should be a simple matter of deleting the second rom from the sd card and then go ahead and flash your viper rom.

Im not the best at development and relatively inexperienced... I desperately need help. Please.
Well you have hboot so its not bricked. I would pull the battery and then make sure you don't have a ph98img.zip in root of sd. Then put battery back in and see what happens.

Do you have HTC sync installed?
Have you tried to download a complete RUU in PH98IMG.zip form and see if it will install from the bootloader?
Here is a link...
Flash ruu of your choosing then use the toolbox to install amon ra. When in doubt use ruu to get back to square one. I have had to do it a few times lol.

I've downloaded HTC sync and it's fully updated. I downloaded the 4.0.3.xxxx ph98img.zip from I can't remember where and tried throwing it onto my sd card but when I booted the phone I to hboot it did nothing. I'll try again if someone can guide me through it. And this is my fault for thinking after being out of the tech loop for years that I could jump back in and do a full root and rom flash without much more extensive research. I found out what happened also. My gf was trying to get the phone to turn on and couldn't figure out what was happening and turned out she was playing with the volume rocker and power button. So god knows she may have wiped everything from the inside out...

We've all heard the gf excuse... not gonna fly.
You could try reformatting the sd card using your pc and using that one to flash the RUU?

Not going to pull any punches. 1st off; learn your fastboot commands hassoon's toolkit is for ease of use. 2nd; You were almost there. 3rd; When trying to use fastboot/adb, make sure HTC sync isn't running in the background.

Have it named PH98IMG.zip(watch your filenames, be careful not to name it PH98IMG.zip.zip). But first try reunlocking again and see if you get boot. If you at least get boot animation that tells me you have a working boot partition. If not then you would need to reflash a boot.img. If you are adamant about gaining root, you could have just flashed a custom rom after flashing Amon RA + a data wipe along with proper boot.img in fastboot.

Simple steps I used when I was in an HTC boot loop.
1. Relocked and installed the stock ruu.
2. Unlocked and flashed the recovery partition using fast boot flash recovery recovery.img (name of your recovery image you want to use.)
3. Used recovery to install su.
4. Profit.
You can also use fast boot to install asop boot images. But for now if you want root use steps 1-4. It worked for me when I borked the heck out of entire phone. ( I had no recovery even after fastboot flashing the recovery partition.)

What should be done if i'm stuck at re-locked bootloader, S-ON, download mode screen, unable to lock-unlock bootloader nor able to flash RUU ? Even the unbrick tool at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=183353 doesn't detect my phone.

Hello,
My amaze 4g is currently running GB with the bullet proof custom rom i found here a couple years ago.
The boot loader is unlocked, and it is S-ON.
I wanted to try and update my phone to an ICS rom such as NRGZ28's energy Rom found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362759.
First attempt, I factory reset the phone, cleared cache and cleared dalvik cache and flashed the rom. I chose the option to install it using the stock HTC kernel. The installation went smooth without errors until the final reboot to finalize the installation. The phone gets stuck in the white screen with the green htc logo on it. I recover using Clock Work Mod and everything is back to the old GB setting.
I assume it is because i have an outdated kernel so I go to NRGZ28's thread and download the stock kernel he has posted there. I flashed the kernel using Flash Image GUI apk. This is where the problem happens. After flashing the kernel, the phone is stuck on infinite loop at the above mentioned htc screen.
I flash the energy rom with the newly flashed stock kernel and the phone finally gets past the htc logo screen, but freezes shortly after during the blue animated splash screen and proceeds to repeat this. I can get into boot loader just fine, but am unable to get my phone working again even after a Clock work mod recovery.
please help!!
There is a special process you have to follow when going from GB to ICS, you can't just flash the latest kernel and expect it to work with ICS.
I would do a full wipe/factory reset, then follow the instructions here to upgrade to ICS stock, then you can install whatever ICS ROM you want:

Are you able to get into the bootloader, fastboot, or recovery? I'm unsure of which HTC screen you are talking about, if it is the one before trying to boot into Android then I would just ignore it for now. If you're having trouble relocking the bootloader, you might try this toolkit, which includes a tool to relock the bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1493905
All this stuff can probably be found in the HTC Amaze Bible, which you should probably familiarize yourself with before messing around and potentially bricking your phone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1679486

If you can get into the bootloader, fastboot, and recovery, then you should be able to continue the steps and get it working again. Try the Toolkit method of relocking bootloader and continue upgrade to ICS.

The all-in-one toolkit is not recognizing my device. Not sure if it's a problem with windows or the toolkit.
Also, it seems the toolkit only works if you are able to actually get to your phone's home screen, which I am unable to do.
So frustrating.....

Here are some more instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1575550&highlight=relock+bootloader
It seems as though the problem is with ADB communicating with your phone. Type in "ADB devices" to see if it is detecting your phone.
Also make sure the file "fastboot.exe" is in the same folder as your ADB file that your command prompt is using.
---------- Post added at 03:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:03 PM ----------
Also are you in bootloader or fastboot when you are trying to do this? I believe you should be in fastboot.
To enter fastboot: Boot into bootloader (hold power and volume down button), scroll down to fastboot, hit the power button.
Now try executing the fastboot command using adb. (remember to make sure fastboot.exe is in same folder as adb)
Alright, so I got it relocked by hooking it up to an old tower. It seems it was an issue with windows not recognizing my phone for some reason.
NOW, there's a new problem. On the bootloader menu, on the top it says "RELOCKED". I choose the recovery option, and it immediately takes me back to the bootloader menu displaying a "Security Warning" message under "RELOCKED".
I am going to cry.:crying:

This is good... I think. You can now move on to the next step in these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1575550&highlight=relock+bootloader
You have to rename the RUU to what is says in that link, place it on an external SD card, then reboot into bootloader. Then it should automatically install the update (there might be a prompt, just hit yes).

You can flash any *ICS* ROM you want. There's another process if you want to go back to GB (though I'm not sure why you would want to).
You should be able to use the Toolkit to unlock the bootloader again, and I would recommend flashing the 4ext recovery while you're at it. From there you should be good!

Thats fine now since you are locked you can download the ruu file pertaining to your phone/carrier and put it in the root of your external sd card and boot into the bootloader and it will automatically detect the ruu and start updating. however you must rename the ruu appropriately (depending on which carrier your phone is) for T-Mobile you rename the ruu file ph85img and it detects it automatically. Good luck

Yep I was just overreacting. After I renamed the ruu file, everything fell into place and my phone is now functioning with ICS.
So apparently, my phone isn't rooted anymore? is this normal?
Flashed 4ext using the all-in-one tool kit. Nothing happened. Can't run any apps that require root. I'm confused.
Yeah, that's totally normal after flashing an RUU and relocking the bootloader. Just re-root, here's a really easy tool for it: http://theunlockr.com/2012/05/01/how-to-root-htc-amaze-4g/

That tool doesn't work for some reason, even though its the tool I used when I first rooted my phone. I just went and did the fastboot flash unlock_code.bin to unlock my phone again.
But for some reason, I can't get 4ext to flash... I went through the steps in the link you provided but my phone doesn't show the app nor am i able to access it through the recovery option from the boot loader menu.
I used HTCDEV.COM to unlock my phone, then flashed a custom recovery (i am hboot 1.58 with latest OTA)...the recovery didn't work so I tried flashing a stock recovery back...I do not think that worked. I relocked my phone and it has been working great for about a week. My battery died and now it is acting like this....
I have tried a factory reset, battery pulls, sd card pulls, reboot etc...to no avail
You Tube dot com /watch?v=imJGRGFNSeM
Ok, after charging for awhile and trying factory resets I found that my recovery image doesn't seem to exist...that is probably the problem but I do not know how to fix that...
any help is much appreciated
you tube dot com/watch?v=AC4TZvHWLG8
ICS back up now after battery/sd card pull and reseat....any ideas how i can I fix? My initial goal was to get a custom rom on the phone to live out the rest of my sprint contract in peace and with better battery life - the end result has been, as of now - a headache
Unlock, flash a new recovery image via adb, then flash your rom. I prefer 4EXT recovery. If you are s-on, you'll need that one and you'll need to enable smart flash in the settings menu.

OK.
I just noticed you said that you took the latest OTA that came out this month. How and when did you do that? Was it after you were already rooted?
You may need to flash another file to downgrade the main version (mainver) before flashing the RUU but you would need to unlock again before doing that.

If so you are ready to flash the recovery. If you have a recovery.img file in the same directory as your ADB/fastboot, put the phone back into "fastboot USB" mode and issue the following commands:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot boot recovery.img
The second command should put you into the recovery.
