Backstory: I tried flashing android revolution for the amaze once, and it didn't work (error 1) left it alone for a bit after recovering it, went back to bulletproof and flashed faux .009 kernel, then decided to try again...
Well I'll try to make this brief, sorry if I'm posting in the wrong subforum but here goes, I tried going from bulletproof 2.5.0 to Android Revolution HD and didn't flash the superwipe .zip (lazy me). The install failed with the same error 1, only this time I can't boot back into recovery. Booting to bootloader works but when I tried going into recovery I see it pop up for maybe a fraction of a second before the phone reboots.
I've tried reflashing clockwork mod but no dice
any sort of tips you folks can give me to steer me in the right direction?

Not sure about the Amaze tbh, but if I had a failed flash on either of my HTC phones, I just re RUU'd.
D'oh! I forgot about that! Had to do that for my buddy's thunderbolt a few times. Lemme give that a shot and I'll report back
Edit: Worked

Bricked Htc Amaze 4g
I have a bricked HTC Amaze 4g. I had beastmod v2.20 on when i decided i wanted quick sense. After i finished it just froze on the htc startup logo. I played with it and got it into a bootloop.

You need to superwipe the phone and flash the ROM. After the ROM flashes, you have to flash the kernel twice.

Same with you. You need to superwipe the phone and flash the ROM. After the ROM flashes, you have to flash the kernel twice.
Superwiping the phone removes all the data from the old ROM so you can install a fresh clean ROM.
If you want to install the RUU, you have to relock the bootloader first and then you can reflash the original RUU

To flash an official RUU, you must relock it. I've done so plenty of times lol

If the phone wont go into recovery, you have to use ADB and wipe the cache partition for it to go into recovery again. This is apparently a bug with some of recoveries posted by other devs in the development forum. You need to use fastboot.exe to wipe the cache via adb
And if... If the superwipe doesn't work due to recovery version you have try to boot in to your Bootloader run one of hasoon's tool and choose different recovery.. it did happen to me the bootloop before due to the fact the old roms like mike's rom. he doesn't update his script to support the newer recoveries and it doesn't support X's recovery, it will give you an error installation.. just try different recoveries and for sure your problem will be solved..
just make sure boot in your bootloader/H-boot then run hasoon's tool and have enough battery just to make sure...

Thanks for the good info Sir but i my HTC Amaze is bootloader locked and S-ON but i cannot find a RUU for T-mobile to unbrick it. Will a Ruu such as this one work?
RUU_Ruby_Videotron_CA_1.46.1530.1_R2_Radio_1.09.550L.17DC_30.68.550L.09_release_227343_signed.exe
My HTC Amaze scans all the versions of the PH85IMG i place on the sd card but goes back to the menu when its down
any advice that could help i will appreciate!
There's a thread in the dev section that has about a dozen RUUs. I don't see how one can miss it.
Thanks for your reply but i was a little unsure and did not want to make my phone any worst than it already is.
Can you explain 1 thing thing for me please - RUU always you to flash the phone via the computer? where as PH85img.zip allows you to flash the phone via sdcard? I hope i am correct here.
but i want to know how can i flash the phone when its connected via HBoot usb cause my pc recognizes it as "Android Composite ADB Interface"
Currently this is what is on my lcd
LOCKED
RUBY PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.93.0002

i have tried several PH85img.zip files but the phone just scans them and goes back to the menu.
Some help will be appreciated extremely.

I forgot to mention it connects to the pc but when i run command adb devices this is what i get

The latest ruu would be your best option, do not put the .zip part of the name since its already there, also a ruu may be an exe or zip file, since it is a complete stock file to restore the device, what would your carrier be to be exact? Just not up to reading through everything in this thread to see if you mentioned that piece of info, if its tmobile then the very first file in the stock ruu/ota thread would be the file you need.

thanks for your advice i managed to reboot the phone into recovery but heres whats strange to me the phone is in recovery with HTC on the screen thats it, the pc has recognized it as "MY HTC" in the device manager however, when i run the command adb devices this is what i get "SH218vp00163 offline". i ran the RUU file but i get error 170 usb connection.

Why are you using recovery exactly?
RUU's are to be flash via hboot, which is the very first screen you see when you go into the device's bootloader, in the case of exe files, you'll need to flash it via fastboot mode, which happens to be, correct me if I'm wrong, the very first or second option on the hboot menu.
yes you are correct cause i just tried it with an RUU from another carrier. i found out that the phone had 2.14.531 software installed. but the RUU i was using was 1.46 and so i got a signature error 132. now i need to find a way to remove the 2.14.531 software and replace it with a lower version. can you help me here

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.

Yes you will have to get new code from htcdev. Though i wouldn't recommend updating hboot cause its known to cause some issues with some roms

I googled HTC ONE X+ RUU. And was fruitless. Many are third party ROMs, and I'm not sure where to download the correct one. Even which to choose I'm not sure.
drivers installed?
There's a link on the TWRP thread you should have read before installing.
As Lloir says, do you have the HTC driver package installed? What recovery you have, should have no impact on how fastboot detects your device, just install drivers and flash a working kernel through fastboot.

Same problem
Hey i got the same problem and to start here i'am a noob in this. This is my first Android device and my first time trying to install a ROM. I used Hasoons all-in-one kit, and unlocking to bootloader went fine, so did recovery and Perm Root. I tried to install Android Revolution HD 5.1, so first I tried to install the other firmware that was needed for it, that is 1.16.401.6. I did something wrong there i guess and its stuck at the HTC start up logo. I tried to make sense of the posts above but i couldn't. My PC doesnt recognize the phone anymore but if I use a command from the all in one kit it does still respond and i can use the power and volume down button to go into bootloader. I tried some things there but really dont know what I'am doing. If someone can help me to get a ROM installed or go back to factory settings from the phone atleast make it work again would be much appreciated. I think i installed all the drivers because it worked before and it still does respond to flashboot in all-in-one kit. Sorry for being so noob. and thanks for the help.

To be clear, running the RUU .exe proceeds normally and tells me there's an unknown error and it that it can't update my phone.

Hi,
I am new here and this is my first post so forgive me if starting a new thread for this topic was wrong but I found my own situation slightly different from the others here who had the same problem.
I have a gsm unlocked rezound and was trying to get rid of the unknown sim error message at lock screen. I followed the steps mentioned on this thread --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1882355. I rooted the phone, downloaded the apk. Deleted the .odex file and replaced the existing apk with the downloaded one and rebooted. Now, I am stuck at the lock screen with no icons. But for the other people who faced similiar issue, they were able to open the home screen. I can't. I can see pop ups for sms/mail. I get ring when a call comes in but I cant pick. I tried hard reset. Tried booting without sim/sd card. Still no luck. I tried connecting the phone to my pc but now my pc wont recognise the phone when its connected. I can see icon on top of the phone which says USB connected and I also see sync icon, but it will not go any further. I dont know how to get into the phone's menu now.
I may have bitten more than I can chew, silly me :crying:
If you guys can help me in any way, I would appreciate that a lot.

Thank you for the quick response. I have downloaded the file. I know this sounds stupid but I am a real rookie. I don't know how to do the flashing or how to get to the AOSP lock screen. If you could guide me through the process or maybe give me a link where I can learn it myself, it would be great.
Essentially since you already have rooted, you will(should) also have a custom recovery (TWRP, AmonRa, CWM). Install it as you would a regular rom but without any wipes until after flash of the zip. Dependent on which recovery you will want to look up their FAQ/QnA on how to wipe dalvik/cache.
Once you get inside the script, you will see what I meant by "Choose Sense & AOSP Lockscreen".

Yes the phone was rooted, but I used a rooting software from google apps from the phone. After I downloaded that app, it rooted the phone and brought in an extra icon. I remember it as SU root something, but I didnt do it from the pc. So I dont have any recovery on the pc. I used to sync the phone with htc sync. Unfortunately, right now, my pc wont recognise the phone. I tried root explorer for android from pc, it wont recognise the device. HTC sync too will not. But my phone seems to know when a USB is connected, it brings the usb icon on top but thats about it. ((
Ok, best suggestion at this point is to follow the instruction in the OP for installing TWRP in the Rezound development section.

If he's S-on and locked, he can simply flash the latest RUU can't he(just to get the phone working again). From there someone can help him set up adb, and s-off.

From what they posted, somehow they don't have a custom recovery even though they are rooted?
Can you put a PH98IMG.zip file of a recovery (either Amon Ra or TWRP) on your SD card and flash it in hboot? Then flash a custom ROM the same way from recovery.
You can take the SD card out and mount it on your pc and use your pc to copy over the recovery PH98IMG.zip file.
And oh yeah, I see what Obaterista... was saying. You should be able to flash the latest RUU from hboot. Here's a link for it:

That's global too, which seems to be what you'll need.

Yes I have vigor, tried AmonRa, that did not work mate. It starts fastboot, gets stuck @ unpacking PH98IMG.diag and then nothing happens.

The bootloader screen says S-On. On top it says ***Tampered*** and below it ***UNLOCKED***.

Yes I rooted from a tool I found on android market. Noob me. So I do not have a recovery. I had downloaded the PH98IMG.zip and put it in my sd card and tried. The recovery starts and then shows a red exclamation and then nothing happens.
I was just trying different pages for help. Someone has mentioned that I should add the PH98IMG.zip as just PH98IMG and I shud not add the .zip. Thats the only thing left to try. I will post what happens when I do that.

What you'll have to do is relock your boot loader, flash the RUU and then unlock again. From there you should be able to flash a recovery and flash a rom.

Are you trying with the stock ROM ? If ure saving stock ROM as PH98IMG.zip, then try PH98IMG without the .zip typed in.

Thanks a tonne. That helped. I am back in the menu now. I am so grateful for ure help. But my problems dont seem to end just yet. Now, my htc sync wont detect the phone. The phone is relocked. I will try unlocking and see if it works, but is that the cause ?

I am no expert to give u any suggestions but maybe if you could explain how it got bricked in the first place, someone might be able to give u a better solution mate.
I Have an Htc one X+ of coarse, and recently rooted it for the first time. After finding my way through that process fairly easily, I decided to try to flash a custom rom (Android Revolution HD 8.0). However I didn't put the necessary zip file in the internal storage before putting the phone in fastboot and flashing the new boot image. After that my phone entered bootloop or atleast i think its a bootloop. It basically just shows the htc quietly brilliant splash screen and sits there till i try to turn it off and then it goes off and then turns itself back on and repeats. However I can get it to fastboot and in to trwp recovery. So I have no back up of my original boot.img soo i just googled factory JB boot.img 4.1.1 and flashed that and cleared both caches and rebooted through twrp. Still bootlooped, so while reading on these froums i read that i should do a wipe of everything i did that so now i have no os at the moment. But after reading a post about a similar problem had by a galaxy user they flashed there there new custom rom boot.img and used adb to push the .zip file to internal storage however when i tryed to use the same command text they used it simply said device not found. so I'm at a loss for what to try next. I'm very Sorry for the long post but, any help at all would be appreciated.
P.S: Sorry for not being smart enough to find the answer on my on, thanks for your help in advance.
The boot.img you googled? Was it even for the HOX+ or just any JB boot.img?? You should be careful flashing any old boot.img could lead to corruption of the boot partition...
Anyway just for info sake, this isnt a bootloop, your device just isnt booting. There are two things you can do in this situation....
1) look in the android dev section for a stockish 4.1.1 rom. You just need one from a rom that isn't heavily modded like insertcoin or viper. You could also grab one of the custom sense kernels from the original android dev section..
2) You could flash the kernel you did originally, then boot into recovery and sideload the right rom to your device.

Thanks very much for the info and help I hope i didn't corrupt it. and I've never flashed a kernel before but Im sure i can find a tutorial. as long as I dont have to put any thing on internal memory sounds good to me. I guess sense I didn't have a kernal (atleast that i know of) the first time i guess i'll try 1. srry 4 being a noob btw.
EDIT: can i flash a rom from the computer without it being in internal storage?

Try booting the boot.img file manually from the ROM you downloaded (find it inside the zip)
you can do that by the fastboot method using your PC
Do this when you enter the bootloader menu.
"fastboot flash boot boot.img"

Sorry just to clarify. A kernel and a boot.img are the same thing. Depending on your hboot version and CID. There may be an RUU you can run from your PC to install stock firmware.
You can get your hboot version on your bootloader screen, and get your CID by using the fastboot command "fastboot getvar cid".
If we knew those maybe we could help finding the correct RUU (if there is one).

If you are trying to flash a custom ROM, then you could just sideload. TWRP (and some other recoveries) supports a process called sideload for when you forget to copy your ROM zip onto the internal storage - since phones like the HOX+ dont have a micro-SD slot for removable storage. Just google for sideload - plenty of tutorials.
The custom ROM zip will also contain the appropriate boot.img, so after flashing the ROM, all you then need to do is flash the boot.img. Hopefully all should be well then.

cid: CWS_001
HBOOT: 1.32.0000
Also I'd like to mention I've tired to push a file to my storage using fastboot and adb, but adb didnt recognize my device was there, although i haven't tired running trwp and the sideloading method yet so i guess I'll try that next.
EDIT: ok I managed to sideload the custom Android Revolution HD custom rom and it flashed it as soon as it was loaded to the phone however after flashing it. it just continued to say I had no os. does this mean like you mentioned be4 that my boot thing is corrupted?

Did you extract the boot.img from the android revolution .zip and flash it through fastboot?

The boot image and zip folder were separate I loaded the boot image manually be4 flashing the rom through side loading. and also I reloaded the boot.img after it regestered no os after flashing but it still registers as no OS so If the boot.img is loaded i should have an os according to twrp right?
also I took the SIM card out and put it in a backup phone for now that wouldn't be a problem correct? thanks again for all the advice.

Are you definitely not trying to flash international roms? Because the CWS CID is AT&T right? Maybe you should just flash an RUU. I don't know if there are any for the AT&T version. Maybe one of the American members can help..

....it still registers as no OS

In Twrp it says there is no OS installed. right before reboot. even tho I loaded a boot.img and sideloaded a zip and flashed it. after flashing and every thing it still says no OS installed. but i went ahead and rebooted it anyway but it just sits at the HTC quietly brillant screen.
Thanks for the advice about the factory restore i didnt do it right be4 installing maybe i'll try that.
1. I notice that you say you flashed Android Revolution. afaik, that ROM is for the International version, not for AT&T. Have you checked you are using an appropriate ROM?
2. I am assuming you did the sideload procedure correctly? Did the ROM installation start after it finished copying over the ROM to the phone?

yes it did installed apps and things then when it was finished i was still in twrp in sideboot and it said reboot. but it still didn't register an OS. hmm maybe I should look specifically for an at&t custom rom. thank s for the advice.
