Without any information on what you were on when you tried to unroot, nobody can help you. What was your software info when you tried to unroot? And what unroot method did you use?

You need another PC image you relocked now so there is no rom on the phone you need to snag the latest PC86IMG stock rom this will get you going man. What you flashed was a stock recovery from the looks of it.
If your relocked will say so in Hboot at the top you need the latest one of these http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1447839

What I did at that point was power off my phone, take out my SD card, and put it in a usb adapter. Connect it to your PC then place the PG86IMG.zip in the root of your SD card. Place the SD card back in your phone power up and the phone will pick up the file and update all on its own.
once i download file do i need to rename it to PC86IMG.zip or leave as is?

I recently went to change my ROM on my HTC amaze, but after I was finished installing it went to reboot and ever since no matter what I do, it just stays on the white htc screen. The only thing I can get to is into Recovery. I locked boot loader and unlocked it and after doing so I noticed it said S ON. How do I turn s off while stuck in recovery mode? Im using the ZurgRushTemp root but it says that I need my phone in usb debugging mode and I dont know how to do that in recovery mode. If I sound like a total idiot it's probably because I am. Previously I have unlocked boot loader and rooted my phone and downloaded other roms and it worked fine. I have no fricken clue what happened. Please help me.. How do I s off to install another rom while I can only get into recovery mode?
What recovery did you flash?
If its not 4EXT then you need to flash the kernel using fastboot.

Im not quite sure what you mean by which recovery did I flash? Im using ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.6 if that helps. What does it mean and how do I "flash the kernal using fastboot"?

Alright slowly but surely I'm catching on to all this stuff.. I think. I found "Hasoon2000's HTC amaze all in one kit" on another fourm so im using that. So I want to flash a 4ext recovery? Then after that what? And do I want to flash it to stock telus kernal aswell? Goddamnit did I mess up big this time.

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
11111111

Cid is 11111111 and you're s-on? Lucky you, well download the mobilicity GB stock ruu exe file, reboot into fastboot and run the file to restore your phone to complete stock GB, hopefully it goes through, though I don't see why it wouldn't, if you're s-on, you'll have to relock your bootloader before doing this.
Thanks! hopefully it'll work

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'm rooted, s-on, unlocked, running a Gingerbread based ROM.
I would like to run stock ICS but stay rooted and unlocked.
I tried the wire trick for s-off but it is not working because [i think] I'm not running a stock ROM.
What is the best route to go from here?
I heard someone say I had to relock my bootloader in order to install ICS?
Help please.

Relock and flash the stock ruu via Hboot, you can always unlock again. Use the latest leaked ruu to upgrade to ics stock.

Thanks! I'm a bit of a newb so your instructions are not easy for me. I'm close. Please help just a bit more.
I have Hasoon2000's all in one kit so I was able to use "relock bootloader" and it worked.
What I need:
DONE: (1) URL to "stock ruu" <-- I assume you mean ICS ROM when you say that? OK I found and have this file now
HELP: (2) when you say "flash the stock ruu via hboot" <-- I'm not sure what you mean for me to do. I found some hboot zip files named 1.90.2005 and 1.93.0002. Do I copy those to the phone's mem card and then ... ? My current hboot is 1.90.2004. How do I get it up to date?
Thanks!
Phone going to black screen with green arrows
Now when I reboot the phone stops at a black screen with green circular arrows. I can get to bootloader and recovery but can't seem to get it to show me the file system so I can put the ICS RUU on the phone. Ideas?

Take out the micro sd card, rename the file to PH85IMG.zip, put the card in a card reader and copy it to the root of the card, then put it back in your phone and go into Hboot and let it do it's thing.

Thanks for that! When you say "rename the file" <--- do you mean the new hboot zip file I have hboot_1.93.0002? Or do you mean keep my current hboot and by "the file" you mean the ICS ROM?
UPDATE: I went with my gut and copied the ICS ROM over to my card and rebooted the phone and yep, it seems to be working. Thanks for your help!
SU binary
OK now I'm up on stock T-Mobile ICS, my bootloader is locked, and s-on.
Titanium Backup tells me the SU binary is missing.
When I locked the bootloader, did I lose root?
Or is it just a matter of copying a binary to my phone?
If just copy binary, how do I find that binary?
Thanks!
You need to unlock and flash a custom recovery, then you can flash the superuser.zip and your root will be back.

OK. The phone is finally re-unlocked. I really appreciate all the help!
NOW... I need to flash 4EXT but I'm getting "device not found" from Hasoon2000's All in One Kit when I try to "Flash Recovery". Ideas?
Like can I just put "4EXT.IMG" in the root of my SDcard and then go into bootloader and somehow run that file? Not sure how it works.

Check the cable, if the probably persist, reboot into fastboot (I'm assuming you know how to do this, if not, turn your device off, hold the volume down button then press the power button, choose fastboot in the menu), once in fastboot, retry flashing the recovery via the tool.

Choose the perm root option in hasoon's tool, select run, it's gonna push a SuperSu.zip to your sd card, then boot you into recovery, choose install from sd card, browse down to that file, it might be all the way to the bottom, when you find it, select it to install, then reboot, voila! You're rooted.
So I have figured out that in order for my SD card to mount right (since it isn't mounting to my phone at all) and for my phone to stop bootlooping, I have to reflash an RUU. So I'm a bit of a noob still with this kind of stuff so please bear with me I just need someone to link the latest GB RUU for me and explain step by step on how to relock my phone....Please if someone can help me with this I would greatly appreciate!!! Actually it would be great if someone could also explain how to install the RUU step by step from beginning to end for me I would love that please I would really appreciate it. Thanks!!!

You just have to flash the unlock token again you don't have to do the whole thing unless you deleted your unlock token.
If you flashed one of the ICS leaks, in order to go back to GB, you will have to be s-off or it will not work. If you are still on GB, then you have 2 ways to do it. You will need to have your bootloader locked and then download one of the 2.01.605.11 downloads HERE. Each one works a little differently. The one ending in exe is the full RUU that you will have to run on your computer with the Rezound connected witha data cable. The one ending in .zip can be put on your external sd card, renamed to PH98IMG.zip and will run when you reboot to your bootloader.
I used the Hasoon2000 tool kit. It has a relock button built in and is way easy to use with step by step instructions for unlock, root and s-off.

You should be able to flash the GB RUU if you only flashed the ICS rom. If you didn't flash an ICS leak, then you still have the GB firmware so should be good to go. There are some stock rooted GB out there too if those interest you.
EDIT: as mikey said..you need to be locked if you want to flash the RUU.

Wow thank you so so much. I have been searching forever for an .exe RUU for GB. It seemed like I was never going to find one. Thanks for the link man. I am downloading both right now. So as of right now, I have 2 .zip ROM files that I installed yesterday onto my external SD card. One is an ICS and the other is a stock 3.6 sense with android 4.0.4 i believe....Now when I change the name of the .zip file that I am now downloading, will my phone try and read the other ROMS on my SD card?? Or will it just read the PH98IMG.zip one since I changed the name of the file?

Ok yes, run the RUU, then you unlock your phone. When u unlocked your phone the first time, you had to flash An Unlock_code.bin file. Did you delete that? Or do u still have it? If you have it you can place it in your adb and fastboot folder, cd into that folder, and type

if you didn't keep it, you have to do the whole HTCDev unlock like you did the first time

I know what the issue is. You don't need to flash An ICS RUU, you just need the SD patch, since ICS and GB have different mount points for the sd card. You can find that patch in slimrom's thread, or the cleanrom de thread. try flashing that in recovery before you relock and ruu, if you havent already. And if you flash the ICS RUU you only have to do it once not every time you flash a rom
edit, too slow....

Dang that would have been nice lol. But ive locked my phone back up again and tried running the RUU. an error came up so it didn't work. but i was told that sometimes it takes a couple of times correct??? Also I can't figure out how to rerun the RUU now. When I go to where the file is, the file is a rar. file. and i don't see anywhere on how to run the file again...I need help with that. do i have to extract the file into a certain folder? Gosh such a process when you don't know how to do everything lol

Ya know, I actually have no idea. what you could do is run an ICS RUU all you have to do is put it on the SD card as a PH98IMG.zip

Ok, so isn't the ICS RUU an exe file? And then rename it to PH98IMG?.zip?

The ICS RUU is not an EXE its just a zip. You rename it to PH98IMG.zip and place it on the SD card and Flash in HBoot. You just have to make sure to to flash it all the way because it reboots twice during the process i believe
Edit: to make it clearer, the GB RUU is an Exe, but all the ICS RUU's are zips
I'm currently using a Macbook Pro and NOT Windows PC. I rooted my Rezound March 2012 with PC at time. Well awhile back I had accidentally deleted some system files from stock gingerbread 2.3.4 ROM. Now i'm not able to update my device to ICS to make use of the global capabilities. I installed Scotts ROM 2.3.4 a copy of it but it never recovered the system files that were missing. I would like to be able to S-Off (couldn't perform wire trick) and flash either CM 10.2 (Jelly Bean 4.3) or CM 11.0 (kitkat 4.4). I've read without being on stock baseband radio (ICS) I'm not able to perform a flash to new ROM. Anyone have any suggestions to proceed further? Thanks!
Well first of all you can use rum runner from the general section to soff with out wire trick. You say that the gingerbread boot loader doesn't support fastboot?

^^He can't rum run he's on a Mac like I am. there's no files to rum run on Mac.... Only linux and windows... But I can do a dual boot with boot camp... He's just straight Mac ^^

ah i see your point well forgot about the mac thing but pc's shouldnt be too scarce maybe use a friend's? cause rumrunner is amazing. and can you not just flash the latest recovery via fastboot and then flash the 4.0.3 stock and then fastboot flash the boot.img then do a system update through settings then root it then install the latest recovery again and then install your rom of your choice and gapps then fastboot flash the boot.img?

That's exactly what I was telling pball52998 I had planned on doing. Except with mac it's difficult and without being able to get to ICS with the radio capabilities I can not go that route. I need to obtain stock gingerbread containing ALL system files including the system OTA update file I originally deleted. When i had to re-do my phone over a year ago and re-flash gingerbread because my device was messed up I was NOT able to access files that I had deleted in system. I was supposed to freeze them not uninstall originally. Unless there's an ICS unoffical ROM with all working radios and global capabilities then I'm forever stuck on Stock gingerbread. Do you understand? And using another persons PC is a no go because i have to install software ADB on their computer and I'm 100% sure they would not be ok with it at all. It's getting late here now. so goodnight to you. :good:

ADB doesn't need to be installed, you can just drop the files into a temp folder, run what you need and delete them.
As for getting your phone up to ICS, this will wipe your phone (including the Internal SD, back up anything you want off to your computer), upgrade your phone to ICS and the hboot to 2.27 which is sufficient for installing JB/KK roms.
As long as your hboot is 2.27 or older and your bootloader is locked, it should work fine, follow the directions on the page. If none of the mirrors work, Raventech has it posted in a thread here also.

Great thank you very much. Now I have two importnant questions in regards to this build. First off can I do this off Mac? Secondly how do I re-lock bootloader? It was unlocked on HTC dev website when I bought it March 2012.
Bricked Rezound?

I relocked the bootloader and had put the renamed PH98IMG.zip (mirror 1) file on my internal sd card. It says in Hboot image not found and will not let me boot into recovery or do a factory reset. I'm stuck! Now what do I do to proceed further?

It needs to be on your external SD then boot into your bootloader.

That's great....Well now I have to wait till after the weekend to do that when my micro sd card reader arrives in the mail. Originally i was installing it on the ext until i thought it was supposed to be on the internal sd. I have no access to the sd cards on my phone right now and cant boot past the ecover screen. Thanks for the help!

The fact you can't get to your hboot is a bigger issue. What hboot did you have installed when you locked it?

You'd need to boot into hboot to get it's version. So pulling the battery then powering on while holding volume down gets you that hboot missing error?

It automatically goes into Hboot and does not recognize any PM98IMG file. To mention the zip extention is not needed. And I put it on the internal sd therefore it can not be read properly by the device. I'll try to take a video of what i'm talking about with my ipod touch. Hold on.

Ahh, I thought you meant you couldn't get into hboot before. Can you run any adb from your mac at all? Might be able to push the file to your SD card that way.
