Im kind of noob at these things, So i need a bit of a walk through if one does come up with a solution.
I have a tmobile HTC Amaze 4G I bought used. And it has a problem restoring... It wont restore at all. It says, the PH85IMG is missing/ Cant open cache/recovery/command. When i try factory restoring, after it starts, It shows an andriod device on the screen with a red triangle and exclamation point in the middle. And another thing.. The phone reboots ALOT . and after it reboots, Everything i downloaded or did to the phone disapears, Like it didnt happened. And the language changes back to how he had it, And his contacts come back and everything,
What should i do?

When you get to the screen with the red triangle and exclamation point, try holding down the volume up+power button at the same time and see if anything happens

Try a reset or reflash the rom your using. Ice hasn't been released yet officially for the note so you must be on one of the leaks. Try reflashing

Wow that's a new one in me. I thought read someplace that certain roms react this way if the battery get to low and you have to go into cwm and do a cache wipe I think. Sorry that all I got .

If phone is turning off in download mode I doubt it is the ROM installed. Have you tried swapping batteries?
Also the issue seems to ONLY HAPPEN WHEN MOVING THE PHONE! SO I dont think Its a doftware issue. I tried changing battries same issue. It stayed on all NIGHT last night. Then when I go to touch it this morning it restarts.

How about if you leave the charger plugged in? Hopefully you can get the opportunity to get it restored to stock and have it exchanged under warranty.

It does it with charger too. But ONLY really does it while moving it
I CANT get it to even turn on now, It will viberate and show samsung and then shut off
I can get it into download mode for a sec and it will flash and turn off
The power button got mashed a little too hard.
If its store bought, its a warranty issue.
If its Craigslist or ebay you have to pull the whole thing apart and reseat the silver button in the case correctly and reassemble.
I've come across a few phones that have this defect.
Hey Ranger, notice you spend a lot of time in what I call the "trenches" in the Q&A and Gen sections providing assistance and guidance. Where I like to hang out and since I have the Note now...and still providing to the Infuse 4G community...

The i777 NEVER had Froyo. It was released with GB 2.3.4. When trying to root "a friends" phone it's best to have read everything and be prepared if things go wrong. Its a hard sell, when you trying to explain why their phone is borked. Also I find Heimdall a bit easier to use than Odin.
Nobody seems to be asking the obvious question: are you positive this is an I777, and not another variant of the S2, like a skyrocket, our even the 1900?
Take out the battery and look at the label under the battery. what model does it say the phone is?
I agree with wgoldfarb, I very nearly did the same thing to my work phone a few months back. It was in a ballistic case, and I couldn't tell the difference until I opened it and held it side by side with my i777,but it turned out it was an older infuse. $20 says that if he's positive he had froyo, it's the same situation.

Instead of saying "Please help! help!", you need to give more information about your device. If you can't do that, you are wasting your time and everyone else's because we cannot play the guessing game with you.
Did you pull the battery?
Did you try charging it overnight?
Were you using the Jbear kit on Windows, or Linux?
What stage were you on when your device went bad?
Did you install the HTC drivers?
Did you reboot your PC to see if that helps fix the driver issue?

It is not a hardware fault. As i am unable to switch off my phone with the power button, i have to pull out the battery
And when i connect charger the charging light keeps on coming even when charger is removed.

I'm not sure but my best bet is that your lcd went. You could check to see if your connectors are in tact but that would mean taking it apart. I would suggest taking it to a repair shop I'm sure they'll give you a more accurate answer.

S-off
Since it happened while doing s-off on windows, isn't it more likely that the process that is not supported for windows--especially with a cable pull--would have mis-flashed the phone's bios?
Is it possible that re-running the s-off solution would correct the issue?
