[Q] Factory Ruu required - HTC Amaze 4G

Friends I have managed to brick my phone due to my non existent talent when it comes to programming and understanding of android systems.
After a lot of research i have come to know that i need to flash factory ruu into the system. Now if someone would please upload or tell me where i can find a factory ruu for a non-branded, South-east Asian CID phone, I will be forever indebted for your help.
Thanks in Advance
P.S. S=on and no supersu
Original Software was GB

Are you using 4ext with smartflash enabled in the settings? If u are then doing wat ^^he said should work to get u back on GB. You could use any GB rom you want and it shoukd work. But you have to be using 4ext with smartflash enabled if u are s-on. And when you format just select "format all partitions except sd card"

Do you mean - you cannot boot your phone because of so called "green-arrows-screen"..?
If YES then:
Open the cmd prompt that is located in your ControlBear folder where you unzipped all of the files.
Type the following cmds into the cmd prompt.
ControlBear -r (This is run with the phone at the JuopunutBear/Arrow screen)
If this succeeds recovery is complete otherwise continue to Step 2.
ControlBear -f (This is run with the phone at the fastboot screen).

I take it your Hboot 1.5 since your using the Flash Gui.. I don't use that app..
Your suppose to flash the rom first then use that app to flash the kernel you want wipe the cache and davlik cache and it will flash the kernel and reboot for you.. Suppose to work that way... I think the kernel you may be tryin to use might be the issue..
Best way to flash is to...
Be in Hboot use adb:
Fastboot boot recovery.img wipe and flash the rom... You will have zero issues this route man..
Also I am on the 2.17 build and radios and what not haven't had any issues with things...
The problem your having is related to the kernel not flashin or rather the boot.img is messing up..

What is it doing???
You wipe then you flash the rom and reboot and it should take off...
What build are you tryin to use a 2.08 or 2.17 if your tryin a 2.17 build you may need to update your radios...
It takes it a few to go past the splash screen 1min to 2min sometimes longer depends on the rom...
Im doing it again do I have to wipe cache only? or both (user/factory)?
Yesssss thank you very much, I intall the Stock IMg, so with this process I have to install MikRunny-3vo-v1.1-CDMA-signed and its going to work???
I appreciate your value time
Another quiestion is,
System UIDS INconsistent
UIDS on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable.

Quicker way to open a CMD to ADB is go to your platform tools folder and hold shift down right click on it.. Say open CMD .. Your set..
Another way ...
Turn debug on ^^)
1. ADB reboot bootloader
2. Fastboot boot recovery.img for Hboot 1.5 users
3. Wipe like normal.
4. Go back to Hboot. Select fastboot
5. Now type in ^ Fastboot oem lock^
6. Now run that 2.17 RUU. DO NOT TAKE USB CORD OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS WILL BRICK
7. Your set
If you wanna unroot again pretty simple..
Just redo that unlock code part your set.
Anyways if anyone needs help PM me or the OP.. I have done this 100 times or more lol well it feels like it..
yes, i'm a n00b
Just a silly question, the unroot/relock option... that should work for all EVO3D models?
Looking to return to stock (but with another RUU of course), can I follow these steps? (I'm HTCDEV unlocked)

Installation Instructions
_____________________________________________
For stock GB (may work if rooted): make sure you have a locked bootloader (instructions in FAQ) and the stock Recovery (link at bottom of post)
1. Open Settings by pressing Menu and tapping Settings (or opening the settings Icon)
2. Click about phone
3. Click Software Update
4. Accept and Download
5. When prompted, install and reboot (may take 20 mins to an hour depending on connection)
6. Profit!
For any ICS Firmware:
You have 2 options now. You can:
1. Run the GB OTA RUU.exe (linked below), and take the ICS update from there (S-OFF only)
*OR*
2. Relock bootloader (Only if S-ON) and run the OTA RUU
If you're on one of the ICS Firmwares, I'll assume you already know how to flash an RUU (as you have to to get on the leaked firmware) so I won't explain that in this post. If you really don't know how, see this guide: http://www.freeyourandroid.com/guide/flashing-ruu-htc
OTA RUU: http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ull-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/ (PH98IMG.zip)

To lock the bootloader, look in post #2 I included the fastboot code for it. To unlock again, you can just flash the same unlocktoken.bin that you used the first time if you kept it. If not, then you will have to use HTCdev to unlock again

All you have to do is open the command prompt app, type CD C:\path to the\folder you put\adb and fastboot in. (So if you had it in you desktop you'd type cd C:\Users\YourUserName\Desktop\Android-SDK [or whatever you called it])
Then type (without quotes) "fastboot oem lock"
It's that simple!

IM sure it is simple .
But even that is confusing for me as i unlocked my bootloader many moons ago with step by step directions so i have not done this since then.
Like setting up an SBS server from scratch and configuring a network with computers and printers and a VPN and or working in exchange is simple cause i do it everyday haha.
Sorry to have wasted your time loL. I will stick around till someone uploads a youtube video or tutorial for this
Thank you for your efforts
Sorry again.

I'll try to help.
1.You have to use the command line so open that up.
2. navigate to where you placed the fastboot files
> type "cd\" without the quotes
> type cd where did you put the fastboot files
so if you put it in the C drive in a folder called android you would type
cd android
if you put it in a folder in a folder
as in the folder then in another folder in their called tools put
cd android/tools
then when you are where your fastboot stuff is type
fastboot oem lock
I have the first "official" ICS leak from back in March - no root or S-off just the leak which was loaded from a microSd card. Do I need to downgrade back to GB or simply wait until the update gets pushed to me? My phone currently says there are no software updates available.
Can all this be done on any ics based Rom* for instance I'm using the viperRez Rom with s-on.. would all I have to do flash stock recovery<relock bootloader<apply PH98IMG for update<re-unlock<and flash back to amonRa? Will I lose root or data? Would I be able to flash back to my current Rom

Bricked my phone beyond belief!

So I've explored different options on XDA's site for returning to stock and I guess this is why I'm here. I screwed the hell up. I posted this on Phaded's How-To page, but I figured it would also be best to post this in the general Help & Troubleshooting page.
Here's the best way I can explain my issue. Someone please help.
1. My phone is COMPLETELY formatted. No OS now. Zero data.
2. TWRP is installed as my recovery.
3. I can fastboot and adb (only from the recovery obviously)
4. I moonshined the phone in order to S-Off
5. I tried the method to remove S-Off by Phaded
adb devices (verify device ID is listed)
adb shell
su
echo -ne '\x00\x00\x00\x00' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 seek=33796
exit

When I ran the RUU, I got that error 158 problem. I couldn't flash the HBOOT. downloaded it several times and tried.
6. I flashed it with an AOSP rom and tried the RUU again. No luck.
Now I'm stuck. u_u I tried
adb push "file name" "file directory"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
so I can drop a zip file in the phone, but it seems to not work. Idk if I did it right. I was hoping to flash a ROM by doing that. smh.
Let me know if there's any other info I can provide. Considering the phone still turns on and I can still get to fastboot and adb, I don't think I'm a lost cause.
Thanks everyone!
UPDATE
I sideloaded a ROM (Carbon) and now I'm up and running. But I still can't RUU it! Figured this detail will help.
I'll keep reading and researching, posting my progress.
Thanks!
Its ok that your'e formatted the main concern would be 1. To be able to turn the phone on and 2. Boot into bootloader and recovery . It sounds like you are able to do both so the term "bricked" doesn't apply here.Okay so first obvious question did you obtain s-off also what bootloader are you on. Also what are you trying to achieve moving forward, going to stock or staying with custom roms, sense or aosp. There is only 1 ruu available for DNA and you need to be relocked to run and have fastboot drivers installed ala HTC sync manager.

1. I obtained s-off with moonshine. I used the above command suggested by Phaded and when I put in
fastboot oem lock
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(or something like that) it says my phone is locked.
2. What do you mean what bootloader? I guess moonshine, cause that's what comes up when I go to my bootloader screen.
3. I trying flashing the ruu and I get this (see image attached) which the suggested fix for error 158 was to flash the hboot 1.15 (or something). But I can't seem to flash it correctly. I can't even find straight forward instructions on how to do it.
Thanks for responding.
The reason I asked about the bootloader version and I'm not 100% sure about this so someone else may need to chime in is that when you ruu you are flashing firmware which includes hboot so if you upgraded hboot before doing s-off or otherwise went up a version then I'm pretty sure the ruu won't downgrade your hboot airgo the error message. Again this might not be true. At this point all that matters is that your s-off and NOT bricked so instead of toying with an ruu I would choose a stock Rom .zip to flash if its truly stock that you want. Your firmware should be up to date if you took 2.06. There is no ruu for 2.06.

It means you can write to any partition of your nand (internal memory). This means customs roms, kernels, splash screens, firmware, etc. When you are s-on it is more difficult, I can't get into why too many words it just is. If you're not s-off and you like flashing stuff look into it.

I'm not finding a solid explanation for error 158 which is disheartening - the best offerings are to change USB ports or restart the ruu. Like I said before you are fine on the software end, you can verify you have up to date firmware by comparing the latest below with what you have.
Baseband (radio) 1.01.04.0308
PRI 2.44_002
As for the hboot, how are you trying to flash it? In recovery?
The hboot needs to match the RUU. You need to find the original hboot . It is in a thread with hboot versions and radio versions.
Link to HBOOT please? and answering your questions
Could someone provide a link for the hboot instructions and flashing?
I think my problem is that moonshine screwed up my phone. I relocked my phone, but when trying to run moonshine again, it doesn't unlock the phone. It just says "WTF: What are you dong" and then it just stops and tells me to hit Enter to exit and the phone is still locked, hence why I think I can't flash HBOOT.
I try and flash HBOOT through recovery. I tried doing fastboot to flash it. Recalling from memory, I think the command was:
fastboot flash "file name.zip"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and then it says it can't open the file, unknown error. But I can't find any help guides or how-to's that explain the fix for this.
Thanks! Keep asking questions, cause I don't know what info is relevant.

Moonshine isn't working because you are still s-off.
My thread has the original hboot and instructions to flash it. You do not flash in recovery. You do not put it on your phone at all. Do not push the file in recovery. Read and follow the instructions in the stock thread.
---------- Post added at 02:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:02 PM ----------
You're doing the command wrong or you renamed it PL83IMG.zip.zip
Please, go in my thread, read each step perfectly and follow. It's really quite simple.
Difference
Is s-off/s-on and being locked/unlocked two different things?
Screenshot
Also here Phaded. I tried different variants of flashing the hboot. I renamed it from PL83IMG.zip to HBOOT.zip. It's not HBOOT.zip.zip cause I know Windows 8 automatically appends the end of the file name with the type extension. As you can see, I boot to fastboot, then run rebootRUU, then I'm trying to flash from there. I got frustrated and tried different things, even unpacking the .zip and trying to flash the .img file.
Thanks for your contribution to the community Phaded.

You need to cd to the directory the file is in, which should be where fastboot.exe is
So if it's in say C:\sdk\
Type cd C:\sdk\
Then run command to fastboot
BOOM!
Alright. Worked. I'll keep you all posted. No one really mentioned in any of the tutorials and how-to's that it is VERY important to make sure to CD to the directory. Like there are developers who say just add it to the PATH in Environment Variables. I figured it was enough, but hey, I was wrong.
Live and learn right?
Thank you Phaded.
So basically my problem was, calling the hboot.zip file is not included under Environmental Variables. I have to intentionally CD to that directory.
Hmm, I must have missed putting in the cd step for the hboot. I'll go edit it.

[SOLVED] Soft-Bricked HTC Desire 601 Zara_UL S-ON

Hello fellow Android users,
I am here to ask for your help.
Just to be clear, my phone is an HTC Desire 601 locked with FIDO, use to have Android 4.4.2, Zara_UL, Unlocked bootloader, S-ON and no OS installed.
My HTC Desire 601 has had a rough week.
Everything went well for unlocking the bootloader, rooting, installing new recovery.
Then I wanted to go S-OFF, but Firewater told me the current kernel was blocking the exploit.
So I decided to flash KofilaKernel for my device and try again. The install went well,
only problem was I wiped my cache and system and now, NO MORE OS INSTALLED and still S-ON.
Couldn't use Firewater anymore...
So I tried installing custom ROM and also tried going back to stock, miserably failing.
A. I tried flashing InsertCoin custom ROM wich failed because of S-ON (forgive noobishness)
B. I tried using "fastboot boot" command that made possible flashing custom ROM with S-ON.
I was counting on this one, but had problems too : Most recoveries wouldn't boot (ClockWorkMod several versions, TWRP several versions) except one TWRP recovery wich booted, but the touch screen WAS NOT ACTIVATED. Tried using side buttons with no luck, and power button just locked the screen. I have heard that Google has changed the fastboot boot for newer android versions and that you had to add something to the command like :
"fastboot -c "lge.kcal=0|0|0|x" boot recovery.img"
This example is for Nexus 4 I think, but I don't know the one for Desire 601... I tried it and it wouldn't boot.
C. I have tried "fastboot flash system system.img" with stock image. Had an error saying not enough memory available.
I wiped everything with TWRP and with CLCKWRKMOD : System, cache, dalvik cache, etc... tried again to flash system with no luck.
D. I have tried the Telus RUU.exe file. Told me I had the wrong RUU for my phone and to find the right one, wich doesn't exist for Android 4.4.2 as far as I know.
E. I have tried flashing several versions of 4EXT recovery to get SmartFlash, but it is not compatible with HTC Desire 601.
There I am.
Please help a brother with unusable new phone LOL.
Thanks a bunch for any help.

I'd just reinstall a rom based off of your current firmware and then you need to copy the boot.img out of it and flash in bootloader. The command you'll want to use is:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Be cautious trying to run KK roms on JB firmware as you'll have issues with the radio and touch, bare minimum. Only ways to update firmware are via being S-Off and doing a firmware update of just the essentials or find a KK RUU for your phone, if it is available.

So a ROM based on my current firware wouldn't need S-OFF to be installed ? Can I install stock ROM via recovery even if S-ON ?
Do you know where I could find such thing ?
Many thanks.

Correct, you can install a rom while S-On, as long as you install the boot.img separately. You can install a rom based off of stock, but you won't be able to do the official RUU type rom from it unless there is an RUU zip for your phone (some HTCs have this, but most are just via an exe of a PC) but that would actually go through the bootloader instead of recovery.

Ok great !
So I have access to a stock ROM apparently. I can't post links yet, but if you look up on Google "htcdesire 601 stock rom" you will find a google docs page with the stock ROM for desire 601 4.4.2.
Would you be king enough to walk me through the steps to achieve this ? There are many .img files in this folder and I am far from an expert.
Thanks again.
black-venomzz
I did :
1. Copy whole .zip file on sd card found when searched "htc desire 601 stock rom" on google in google docs pasge (can't post link yet).
2. Install .zip with TWRP.
- Failed (still bootloop) -
The tried :
1. fastboot flash boot boot.img (boot.img was found in the .zip file)
2. Copy whole .zip file on sd card
3. Install .zip with TWRP
- Failed (still bootloop) -
I'm probably missing something here...
You might not have the correct zip for your variant of 610. They make a few and could depend on the carrier as well. Should also factory reset in TWRP.

Couldn't find that page, even after taking out the asteriks. But you'll need to boot to the bootloader and run this command:

Ok, I think we might be on the right track now...
According to the read out from getvar, you were on 4.2.2. It's also listed as a Rogers phone (I'm assuming there's a direct connection between Fido and Rogers, though being an American, I'm not 100% up to date with Canadian carriers...) so I found the RUU for 4.2.2 (system 1.10.631.8 which you can see in the getvar list) http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads/P510 (it won't let me do a direct link for some reason) and pick the Rogers one for 1.10.631.8
This should get you back up and running.
Make sure to relock the bootloader before you run it or it'll fail. You can re-unlock afterwards. Should be able to do "fastboot oem lock" then when ready to unlock again then "fastboot oem unlock" should work since you've already used the bootloader key.

Your a life saver thanks !
I'll make sure to relock.
The only thing is I have no clue how to use this RUU. It's not like a ".exe" that you execute.
The .zip file contains a .tar.gz file, wich contains another .tar file, wich contains binaries I believe.
The readme.txt file talks about using Linux commands but I'm far from an expert.
I'll do a little research on my own since you helped me a lot already, but if you have any tips feel free to share !
Thanks again,

BTW for information purposes,
Fido is indeed a subsidiary brand of Rogers.

Ah shoot, I didn't realize it at the time, but that's like the source code, as in, if you wanted to compile a rom for your phone. That actually isn't what we need. :/ I'll have to keep looking...

****e. How do people build RUU.exe in the first place ? Can't we build one with these binary files ?
Edit : Did some reading and found out only vendors can make RUU's.
Tried this, found on another thread.
"The RUU is your normal, executable program and does everything for you. The ZIP is an RUU but you have to set the phone up to flash it by using fastboot commands. the process is:
1. Connect phone in fastboot mode
2. Run the command 'fastboot oem rebootRUU'
3. Once the phone is at the HTC screen, you run the command 'fastboot flash zip name_of_zip.zip'
4. It will flash the first part and then give an error and you run the same command as above a second time straight away
5. Once the second flash sequence has finished, you the type 'fastboot reboot' and it will reboot the phone and finish the installation"
It failed, but I didn't relock bootloader yet. Will try that now.
Edit : Also failed with relocked bootloader.
Fastboot error message was :
"(bootloader) signature checking
FAILED (remote : 12 signature verify fail)"

2. Run the command 'fastboot oem rebootRUU'
3. Once the phone is at the HTC screen, you run the command 'fastboot flash zip name_of_zip.zip'
4. It will flash the first part and then give an error and you run the same command as above a second time straight away
5. Once the second flash sequence has finished, you the type 'fastboot reboot' and it will reboot the phone and finish the installation"
It failed, but I didn't relock bootloader yet. Will try that now.
Edit : Also failed with relocked bootloader.
Fastboot error message was :
"(bootloader) signature checking
FAILED (remote : 12 signature verify fail)"

You can flash RUUs like that, but that zip does not house the files you would need. RUUs have to be signed with HTC's special key or it won't work. That's why it was only a 99MB file...

Thanks for looking around. Unfortunately the RUU failed (see picture).
I think my phone was updated with Android 4.4.2 when I bought it (recently) so it might be what's causing the error.
I wanted to try with a Telus RUU for 4.4.2 but it's not there..........
I'm starting to lose hope here.
