Hi,
The other day I finally got able to unlock my HTC amaze following the guidelines on the HTC dev site, but I haven't been able to root it to install a custom recovery on it, I searched the web and there's no tutorial for the amaze with a Mac.
If anyone could help to tell me what should I do next would be cool.
Thanks.

If you know how to set up a virtual pc or parallel windows, you can work with that, there's no progs built for mac, sorry.

You don't need a computer too root you need one to unlock your boot loader then flash a custom recovery

I see you didn't read the link I posted on op, windows 8 doesn't recognize drivers. HENCE I'm looking for alternative method which was suggested Linux.

You don't need drivers you use fastboot. Fast boot and the htcdev website is all you need. I see you didn't read the bible, any of the tutorials or the HTC dev website

I tried it from site and wouldn't work. I admit to not reading the Bible. Will post after doing so.

I came onto a snag following the instructions..Stuck on this step while installing the SDK, it seems that Java runtime doesn't work well on windows 8 (see attached screen pic for error).

Honestly, you don't even need the entire Android SDK. It's just a few files like adb and fastboot.
Once I installed the HTC drivers on Win8, everything worked fine.
For Linux, you only need fastboot which I've attached.

I haven't been able to get the files.. they were not in the zip file I downloaded from the site (SDK zip) the tutorial said I needed to install adb to get them.
Can you break it down for me on how you got the files?

If you're still having trouble (really shouldn't because I didn't have any), just boot into the Linux Live USB/CD and download the fastboot file I attached in my above post.
How'd you get around the win8 Linux boot block?
Or are you stuck running off usb/live live cd? (still no dual boot)

Alright got my butterfly
I know this is the DNA forum but they have similar structures right
I'll ask this question again if no answers are found here
& once it gets its own forum
But...
All I want is superuser access
No bootloader unlocking
No custom roms or kernels
For now that is
So is it possible?
I'm coming from an x10i
There we had a program called flashtool which did everything on the click of a button
Like root it without unlocking bootloader
& install custom kernels & flash stock images
Do we have a similar program here?
I've seen jcases method but my device is just a few days old & don't want to risk bricking it

If you want to root it(and have superuser access) you must unlock the bootloader.

I followed Step 3 on these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426377 and managed to get root after running Clockworkmod on the SuperSU.zip file that was dropped in from the RecoveryInstallerForNoobs.zip file.

Go to Cyanogen Mod official website ... You can get a whole lot information there... !!! its is the only rom which is providing jellybean 4.1.2 on AMAZE 4g
Please read the "pinned" threads located at the top of the various forums. All of the info you seek is located there. The brief reader's digest version is as follows: You need to download and have a working adb setup. You also need some drivers from the HTC website. While there you need to register as a developer and follow the instructions. If followed correctly they'll give you a binary blob that you need to push to your phone from windows to unlock your bootloader. You'll still be s-on but unlocked. Then depending on which version of the amaze you have and which version of android is currently running on it there are different procedures for attaining s-off, which is a requirement if using a non-T-Mobile US device. After you've gotten those things in order you can begin flashing.
None of this is difficult, but it does require reading on your part, and nobody here is going to hold your hand, especially if they see you haven't made any effort by at least reading the instruction threads.
Just flash the SuperSU.zip file via recovery. For some customs roms, you won't need to root your phone before flashing, your phone will automatically get root access one you flash them. All you will need is having a custom recovery .

Actually you're not quite on point. Without unlocking your bootloader you can't flash a recovery and smartflash on 4ext doesn't work properly without a working busybox and superuser. So after unlocking and flashing or pushing a superuser apk you need to also install busybox too or smartflash can't write to the protected partitions.
I think everyone knows they cannot flash a custom recovery without unlocking the bootloader first.

LOL you'd be surprised what kind of questions get asked here and how often the same ones are repeated, especially in this forum where newbies can post until eligible for the other forums. Look and see how many threads and individual posts are here, the vast majority are the same basic questions asked over and over by those who've never bothered to read the information posts pinned to top of each forum.
You are right.

HTC Amaze Hasoon2000 S-off All-in-one Toolkit
I want to s-off my htc amaze mobile set. can anybody give link to download HTC Amaze Hasoon2000 S-off All-in-one Toolkit 1.1 from the website? will be grateful.
You can't s~off the amaze with a tool kit, you have to use the wire trick using the joupunut bear program. No other way around it, check YouTube you'll find a video tutorial

Hi,
I installed Custom ROM with an idea that it will improve my phone performance but hell i am seeing sluggish performance in some of the basic phone functionalites like contact searching
I didnt back up my stock rom when i rooted the phone and hence i request you to please share me the WORKING link of HTC Legend Stock ROM (Doesnt matter what android version it has 2.1 or 2.2)
I am fine with it
Thank you in advance
If you want rooted stock then I suggest looking in the dev section there are lots of roms, try using blay0s froyo b0.8.4 it's basically stock with quite a few improvements.
If you want completely stock Rom and no more root goto
http://www.shipped-roms.com and download the correct region for your location they are windows exe files, all you need is USB drivers I believe, from memory HTC sync is all you need.

An important question, how did you root your phone, via htcdev boot unlock or other method?
If htcdev unlock, you will need to relock it or you will get error 155.

Used the all in one toolkit its unlocked it did the twerp and the supersu tbut when I go onto root check it says no root access
Sent from my HTC Desire X using XDA Free mobile app
There is not enough info, so we can't help you that much. What did you do besides running the toolkit? Why do you want to keep the OS and not try another ROM? Did you try to install another ROM (which?), kernel? Are you on ICS/JB? Are you able to run a recovery? Are you able to connect your phone to your PC and execute a fastboot command? If so, what happens if you type 'fastboot devices'? Is there a number shown (we don't need to know the exact number)?
Thanks now I know what info I need to find all I did was download the tool kit and run it. It says unlocked in the bootloader it installed twerp and super su and that's all I did. I'm happy with going with another Rom but it will need to be stable but not knowing much about the different ones I didn't want to be reloading the Rom each week if I keep picking a bad one I only payer £16 for the phone so I was just seeing if I could do it but looks like I know less than I thought will get the other info when I charge the phone.
thanks for your time

This info is from inside your ROM. I understand that you are experimenting and want to install a fresh new ROM? After unlocking and installing TWRP, try the next step: a fresh install of a ROM (i.e. Vimiro).
I've suggested you before to read the tutorials, this page, I know that you are not a fan of reading (as you told me before) but reading this info is just as easy/hard as reading a tutorial.
Try and experiment, (almost) nothing can happen to your phone.
My plan was to get root access remove the bloatware and stick with the phone as is but if there's a stable Rom out there then may as well go for it for what this phone cost me just need advice on what rom to go for
