Ok, I was trying to flash the newest ICS leak and being the newb I am, its borked.
Right now I have an unlocked bootloader with H-Boot 2.11.0000
I have a blank SD card and I just need to know what files to copy to it and what steps to get back to stock or possibly getting the 5/8 ROM leak installed
I'm assuming your s-on still, follow the directions in the OP to install.
Installation for S-ON Devices on Gingerbread firmware
* Copy ROM to SD Card AND PH98IMG.zip AND GB Firmware Patch to ROOT of SD Card
* Reboot to recovery
* wipe data / Factory Reset
* Flash ROM
* Flash GB Fimrware Patch
* Use Developer Menu to reboot to bootloader and flash the boot.img file in the PH98IMG.zip
* Reboot
* Profit!
How exactly do you FLASH the rom without renaming it?

I can't get past the bolded parts... How do you flash with those files on the SD card, everytime I return to the bootloaded it just runs the PH98IMG file and updates.... from there I'm stumped.

Take out your sd card, then go to recovery, wipe. Pop your battery out put your sd card back in, then continue.

1) Easiest thing for you is to turn USB Debugging on in Settings (Apps > Development), hook up to PC, and use the Hasoon2000 Noob-proof toolkit to reboot directly to recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22696442
2)Many Custom ROMs have Reboot to Recovery in the power button menu
3)Ninja grab the battery at an angle and slide SD Card out, go to recovery, and slide in while mainitaining power connection. (Not ah, recommended but good in a bind)

You need to first flash a custom recovery and then select that option (AmonRa 3.15 recommended, CWM is buggy on charging battery). That Hasoon2000 kit in last post can do that for you too if you don't have AmonRa installed.

That seems to be the biggest issue, can I flash a recovery without being able to boot my phone up... I only have access to the bootloader.
All the instructions fail to mention the requirement for the recovery app... That was the newb boo-boo.
I think there is a zip somewhere, but it's easier with adb.
fastboot flash recovery (name of recovery).img
I recommend S-Off. It makes all of this super easy. I promise its really not that hard. The wire trick looks worse than it is.
Edit: fixed. I'm retarded in the morning.

Yeah, manually you can flash a custom recovery via the same method, a PH98IMG.zip from bootloader. You delete the existing PH98IMG file and replace with one containing AmonRa (what exactly is that zip, do you need it still?)
But, adb fastboot commands when hooked up to PC can flash the recovery directly to memory from an img file. Just need USB Debugging turned on in the Settings on a regular boot to the ROM.
Sooo just use the toolkit on a PC to eliminate hassle if ya can lol. It uses that second paragraph's method. Just need to click an option and it runs the script. Now ya know both ways.
Oh, link in earlier post from my XDA app is not working :/ here is the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22696442
I guess until I find the zip and instructions I have a brick.

USB debugging in my PC? I can't access Android OS. I'm 100% limited to the bootloader with NO recovery tool.
OK!!
Got Clockwork installed!

Ah, I meant the ROM, but not even the ROM boots because of bad flash. No worries. Don't need to be in the ROM anyway, toolkit works in the bootloader.
1) Ensure drivers for phone are properly installed on PC. (Google and download HTC Sync if unsure.)
2) Download and extract toolkit. Run the All In One exe file. The GUI comes up with your options.
3) With phone off, remove SD Card.
4) Boot into bootloader. Select Fastboot option.
5) Connect to PC via USB.
6) Select AmonRa from toolkit options and install.
7) Power down phone, disconnect and insert SD Card.
8) Connect phone, power it up and select Reboot to Recovery on the toolkit.
From recovery, you can enable USB mass storage option for memory and download/transfer files you need from your PC, delete the PH98IMG.zip, etc.

Several user reports in the forum say ClockworkMod (CWM) has an issue with charging our batteries when the drain gets low. Risk not being able to charge phone at all and brick that way. AmonRa or TWRP from the Development section are still recommended for this particular phone for now.
Hope you get sorted out on the ROM
Sounds like you're getting instructions to do more than you asked.
Go to post three on the following page and scroll down to "Latest leak and installation instructions".
Make sure it flashes twice. I just did this procedure this afternoon without any trouble.

I got the ROM up and running.... Updating my backup settings... Next step will be to replace clockwork and flash a recovery image... Gotta figure that all out now.
Is it possible to flash AMON recovery over CWM?

Yes, just install the new recovery normally, will be okay.
I guess I did end up installing AMON recovery, I just checked. Creating Nandroid right now....
Does a Nandroid basically recover EVERYTHING?
Sorry for repeated threads but i am stuck on this.
The procedure is -
Installing mySENSE-dx boot.img
Download the attached Boot.img_Installer_RC3.5.zip and extract it to your desktop
Boot into bootloader/fastboot mode
Connect your DX to PC
Open the Boot.img_Installer_RC3.5 folder and run the Install Boot.img.bat
What does 1st instructions mean, The full thread is below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2081430
If you can't understand the basic instructions, you may end up with a non-working DX
The instructions are for installing/flashing boot.img to your device. For experience users they just do fastboot command but as I know there are a lot of new users like you... I made that instructions to help newbies.
Before you proceed, do you know what is bootloader and how to get there ?
If you did unlock your device, you should know.

Yes, I unlocked it yesterday and also installed a custom recovery( cmw 6.15). Now i just need to flash a good ROM and i found this great because of full sense. I have downloaded both Mysense ROM and boot.IMG installer and extrated both of them on desktop as folders.
What should be the next steps to take. Please explain.

or try hansoons kit (its somewhere in original android development), it has nice gui and its working (especialy helpfull when your not experienced user)
I won't be responsible for something goes wrong
Basic things in flashing ROMs
1. Put the downloaded ROM on your sdcard
2. Put your device is fastboot mode/bootloader where you see the word Fastboot USB in red when you connect your device to PC.
3. Flash the boot.img (follow the earlier written instruction)
4. Press power once, you'll be on hboot screen, select recovery
5. In recovery, install the ROM

Yes i have hasoons kit. I flash the recovery through it. How to install above mentioned ROM through kit.
put rom.zip on sdcard (doesnt matter when, but at some stages on flashing rom, you wont be able to acces card via phone, so you would have to use some sdcard reader)
use "flash kernel" option in kit to flash boot.img
then boot into recovery (manualy, or via command in kit), make a backup (more important than it sounds), then wipe system and cache, then install zip which you put on sd card

Put it in phone internal memory then. Or use adb sideload in recovery as final step, but thats the harder option
Thank You it was successfully done.

No this time it's alot difference this is a RUU (rom+firmware) .. you have to lock your bootloader and be in your bootloader and connect your phone to the PC make sure your htc drivers are installed and double click the exe file n follow the instructions
(back up your internal SD card cuz the ruu will format your whole phone every single file)

Enter this command "fastboot device" and make sure that the phone’s serial number appears after entering it:
Now, in order to relock the bootloader, you will need to enter the following command line: fastboot oem lock
When the phone’s bootloader tells you that the bootloader has been locked you will have to restart the device into Fastboot mode once again.

You can't install the OTA as it will fail as you don't have the files it needs to patch.
But, you can manually update your hboot with it.
I'm busy at the moment with work commitment... I'll try to find time tonight to write the How-To. There are two ways of doing it.

Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you * 100000 Thank you:good::good::good::good::good:
updating hboot - method I
Hopefully this will work for you as it works for me.
As promised, here is the method I.
What you need :
1. your Unlock_code.bin that you received from hTC previously when you first unlocked your device. If you lose it, apply for a new one at htcdev.com
2. stock recovery - you can use the one that I posted here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39658620&postcount=1
3. firmware.zip - download the OTA for your CID from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2376707 and extract the OTA.zip, you will find the firmware.zip inside the extracted folder
4. Rename the firmware.zip to PM66IMG.zip
(Note : it is best you enable extension name in your PC so you can see the extension .zip clearly so you won't have something like PM66IMG.zip.zip which is wrong)
5. Make a nand backup of your current ROM with ICS TWRP recovery (I recommend TWRP)
The Method
1. Put the PM66IMG.zip on your sdcard (not in any folder, just on sdcard)
2. Make sure the usb debugging is enabled (check Settings - Developer options - USB debugging is ticked)
3. Reboot to bootloader/fastboot and connect to PC (you should see fastboot usb in red)
4. Install the stock recovery either use the stock recovery installer that you downloaded earlier or use fastboot command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
5. Still in fastboot mode/bootloader - relock your bootloader with command fastboot oem lock
6. Your DX will reboot to bootloader and you will see "RELOCKED" on bootloader and maybe "security warning" under it, just select reboot to bootloader again, you should have "RELOCKED" only.
7. Press power once to go to hboot mode
8. Then you will see the hboot seeking the PM66IMG.zip and will ask "Do you want to start update ?" .. select yes by pressing volume up button.
9. Sit back and relax, let it complete. Once it complete, it will ask to press power to boot, so press power button to boot.
10. Done .. your hboot now updated. (Your device may end up in bootloop if your previous ROM is ICS - so I suggest to flash a JB ROM before you do the procedure)
Additional
1. Reboot to bootloader.
2. Re-unlock your bootloader with the Unlock_code.bin using command fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
3. You will see the unlock page - select yes to unlock (volume up)
4. Your device will reboot - either it will be in bootloop if your previous ROM is ICS ROM or it boots normally if your previous ROM is JB.
5. Put your device in bootloader again
6. Flash a JB TWRP Recovery
7. Restore your nand backup that you made earlier (If that is an ICS ROM, you need to flash an ICS boot.img before that).
8. Or flash any of your favorite ROM.
So try this Method I first. I will tell the method II which is more complicated if this is not working. If the CID is correct, there is no reason for this not to work.
@ckpv5 Thank you so much . My hboot is now 1.25.
But I forgot to flash jelly bean rom. It is in my sd card. But whenever I tried to go to the bootloader. It just go to the HBOOT, and it is asking me to update again. How do I flash JB rom now .
I was too late to read this
(Your device may end up in bootloop if your previous ROM is ICS - so I suggest to flash a JB ROM before you do the procedure)

Select no when it ask (volume down) or take out the sdcard and put in a card reader and delete the file
Yeah, but you should add an extra step for flashing the JB ROM so that people using this guide will know when to do it (I am already on jb hboot, I could update with OTA). I am sure that there are a many people who are first trying the steps without finishing the reading before.

No problem
I should have helped when @supersonictt first asked the question but I was away and expect someone else will assist.
So.. enjoy your new hboot and new ROMs and I guess there is no need for Method II
My hboot is now 1.25.
But Now how did you flash the jelly bean?
Thanks

No you can install ICS roms too, you only need to change something if the rom maker didn't do it already:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2213663
But most roms have that already changed (Like ShadowDX, and MyONEdx), just look in the OP

HI EVERYBODY,
Today i wanna introuduce my first filekit for rooting htc amaze 4g,
It is easy and needs only clicks instead of writing commands and reading different sites and downloading files from different sites it's all in one,
so follow the guide carefully!
<<<<<<I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY KIND OF DAMAGE YOU MAKE OR FOR ANY BRIKED DEVICES!>>>>>>>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
STEP BY STEP GUIDE!
GUIDE 1:: {unlocking the bootloader!}
This is htc amaze 4g unlocking,flashing recoveries and rooting filekit by playboydroid at xda developers.
first step enable usb debugging in settings>developer options>usb debugging tick it.or if you are at gingerbread so goto applications>devlopment>usb debugging.
STEP 2>> go into my filekit select data folder>install htc drivers.
STEP 3>> connect your pc to phone with usb cable then in data folder slect reboot into bootloader when you get into bootloader so use volume keys to navigate and
power key to select,you should be connected with usb cable between your phone and pc you will see written fastboot usb highlited with red if you cannot see
so select fastboot written in the bootloader menu so when you see fastboot usb in red colour, then select token id windows batch file present in data folder of my
FILEKIT so by selecting token id from pc will help you in getting the token so select the token as follows:
When copying the token, start with this line:
<<<< Identifier Token Start >>>>
And end with this line:
<<<<< Identifier Token End >>>>>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
after marking the token copy it by right clicking on the command window opened so after right clicking a dailouge box will appear so select edit>mark then select the token written and right click to select the token then visit htcdev.com singup first then select unlock bootloader at the right of the site select your device
htc amaze (t-mobile)or(mobilcity)or other then begin unlocking bootloader skip all steps goto step 10 and deposit your identifier token there and you will recieve
unlock_code bin in your email download it and place it in my toolkit>data folder then run the file unlockbootloader in my toolkit>data so this will ask a question on your phone's screen so select yes if you want to unlock or select no if you don't want to unlock bootloader
Code:
(note that when you select yes your all data would be deleted)
so now you are done unlocking bootloader now you can flash recovery and you can proceed to root.
GUIDE 2 : flashing custom recoveries..
first step>>connect your phone with pc using usb cable.
second step>>use the file reboot into bootloader present in my filekit>data it will take you to bootloader (note;usb debugging should be enabled)
third step>>after getting into bootloader use the file flash cwm5026 recovery so the file will flash recovery in your phone!
fourth step>>select recovery in the bootloader menu while usb disconnected,to see that, is recovery working?
and you are done flashing recovery the second part of rooting.
GUIDE 3 : rooting/installing superuser binary..!!
step 1>> goto my filekit>data folder then select super su folder and send the supersu.zip file to your phone.
step 2>> now select reboot into recovery from my filekit>datafolder it will take you to recovery.
step 3>> select install zip from sd card and find the supersu.zip in your storage then select it and answer it yes and you are done!
step 4>> reboot your system now!
EXTRA GUIDE FOR S-ON USERS;FLASH 4EXT RECOVERY:
I WILL RECOMMEND TO FLASH 4EXT RECOVERY AFTER ROOTING AMAZE 4G WITH CWM RECOVERY BECAUSE IT
IS THE BEST RECOVERY AND WELL FEATURED!
TO FLASH 4EXT RECOVERY GO TO: AND FROM THERE DOWNLOAD 4EXT RECOVERY!
THEN YOU WILL GET 4EXT RECOVERY.ZIP SO SEND IT TO YOUR SD CARD THEN BOOT YOUR PHONE INTO BOOTLOADER USE THE
REBOOT INTO BOOTLOADER FILE FROM MY FILEKIT>DATA AFTER THAT NAVIGATE TO RECOVERY AND SELECT
4EXT RECOVERY.ZIP AFTER IT FLASHES SUCESSFULLY REBOOT YOUR SYSTEM OR REBOOT RECOVERY SO THEN
NEW RECOVERY WILL BE SEEN..
ALL GUIDES AND FILES ARE AVAILABILE IN THE ZIP..
EXCEPT 4EXT!
ALTHOUGH I HAD INCLUDED 4EXT RECOVERY IN THE FOLDER BUT IT IS NOT WORKING!
YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE 4EXT RECOVERY UPDATER APP AND YOU CAN FLASH LATEST RECOVERY FROM THAT APP AFTER ROOTING!
4EXT Recovery App
so first download the zip from here
unzip it and use the guides above to proceed! use 7zip or similar
if you got any help from my post so please tap the thanks :good: button so i could post more!
I AM HERE TO HELP IF YOU GET CONFUSED IN UNDERSTANDING MY ENGLISH BECAUSE MY ENGLISH IS NOT WELL!!
SOON I WILL BE POSTING A VIDEO SO YOU CAN UNDERSTAND MORE CAREFULLY!
There is another way & it is now the only way by using Ubuntu 12.04 (and newer) 32bit

Hi ..!
I like your post ..!
And I had tried this ..!
Very usefull post for unlocking bootloader
phone stuck at HTC logo
hey guys,
great guide, plain and simple
I have gotten to the point of rooting the phone, however when I install roms from sd card and reboot, the phone gets stuck at the htc logo with the white background. Am I missing something...After i install the super su and reboot, can I just install a rom, or do i need to update the kernel or install an update?
thanks in advance

Yes the problem is that you need to flash boot.img from bootloader or for easily flashing roms from recovery ,use 4ext recovery...
Just flash this recovery from an app at play store or xda named 4ext recovery control this will work only if phone is booting or if the phone is not booting so search 4ext recovery.img or .zip on xda and flash it in your current recovery and reboot your recovery...you would now be able to get in new recovery now before flashing roms you need to enable 4ext smart flash,which is available inside tools options in 4ext recovery once you had enabled smart flash start flashing roms and they would boot...but NOTE: when ever you are flashing roms always check that is 4ext smart flash enabled or not ,you need to enable it in order to boot new roms and always make an Nandroid backup...
Happy flashing and don't forget to hit thanks

And please tell me that you're currently on CWM recovery or anyother...
Well CWM recovery is included in the package so hoping you're on custom recovery..
The only solution for your problem is that your phone should be ICS 4.0.3 updated and you should have 4ext recovery with smart flash enabled...
Or other solution is perform S-OFF..which is very hard,because of the wire trick!

I assume that you are on ginger bread with old bootloader,so try CM7 or older roms that might work on your device,for flashing ICS and JB newer roms you will need to be on latest bootloader which you can get after updating your phone to ICS(official)..
if you are having unbranded HTC Amaze Ruby then you need to S-OFF or if you are having Branded i.e T-Mobile or any other just flash the RUU from boot loader....:victory:

ok, so im at a lost, i have used 4ext recovery and used a cyanogen mod and still no luck. I followed your instructions but it still sticks at the htc logo. what is this S-off you are talking about and exactly how risky is it?

Did you enabled smart flash inside tools options in 4ext recovery.?
Just Google s-off,you might find details about it.
And another solution is to try hasoons2000 toolkit for htc amaze and learn how to flash boot.img on bootloader..

did you tried enabling smart flash in recovery?
for s-off visit this.
and for booting a new rom you need to flash boot.img from bootloader.
use this once you enter boot loader and your phone should be connected to pc.see this for more information.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
I got through somewhat

Ok, so i extracted the img file and loaded it using the fastboot command, it booted in to Android OS (cm-10-20131006-NIGHTLY-ruby.zip) but it keeps cutting off, I had installed the same rom previously, When loading the boot.img, do i need to extract all the other contents to a folder so it can pull all the files?

Click to collapse
2-->boot to Bootloader while connected to PC.[note that the fastboot screen would show fastboot USB written In Red,if not so click the Fastboot Button in bootloader by pressing power button..
3-->now extract the Boot.img of your specific Rom
(which you flashed previosly in recovery..)

ok, so I did all the above, I also installed an update:
You MUST flash the ICS firmware update when coming from a GINGERBREAD ROM before flashing Viper Amaze
Place the PH85IMG.zip in the root of your
EXTERNAL SDCARD and boot into bootloader
This will update your radio
to 1.15.550L.08D _30.80.550L. 16D
and HBOOT to 1.93.2222
I did the above, installed the Viper Amaze 1.7.2.3 official, and it worked!!!!
thanks again for your help and patient, thank you
