Hello. I have been searching for solution to my problem since last night. Some came close but couldn't solve my problem completely. I am using an International/Unbranded/Asian/Carrier Free Amaze 4G running GB 2.3.4. As every other International Amaze user, I wanted to update to ICS but I couldn't since there was no official update to ICS for unbranded Amaze. So, I researched on how to do it and I started the journey to update my Amaze. But I faced a problem during my journey
Here's a little background of my problem:
I used Hasoon's toolkit to unlock my bootloader, flash TWRP recovery and inject SuperUser and root my phone
After that, I researched on how I can update it to ICS. I read that to achieve what I wanted, I have to S-OFF my phone and then SuperCID it and flash ICS RUU. From here, I searched on how to achieve S-OFF on my phone. I read that Hasoon had another toolkit for this purpose. I reached his thread and opened the download link but I couldn't find the file. I read he taken it down for some reason. I then googled Hasoon's toolkit and I got a download link!
Now, I am set to S-OFF my Amaze. Excited! I didn't had an external SD card so I went and got it from my dad's S3. Then, I ran juopunutbear v.6 for the first time. Everything was going good, untill " Loading sixpacks into SD card". I got an error "Barman won't serve!" .. I looked at my phone and it was stuck at the "arrow screen". I couldn't restart it unless I pulled the battery. I couldn't boot it into recovery. But I could boot it into bootloader. Anyways, I read on Juopunutbear's website that if I am stuck on "Arrow Screen" "This is normal during the procedure, until you have gained S-OFF. Run program again.". So, I ran Juopunutbear v.6 again but again the Barman won't serve me!
Curse you, Barman! I read that if I am stuck during the process I should try it on a different PC using a different cable and SD card. I changed my SD card. Found one in my drawer. Ran Juopunutbear v.6 again and voila! This time the barman served me! Now, I have been trying the wire trick for gazillion times on my Amaze but I always get the error "Still Sober". But this error is not the real problem
Short summary of my problem: I am stuck at the "Arrow Screen" attached below. My phone won't restart unless I pull out the battery. And when I start it again, it's stuck on the "Arrow Screen" .. I can't boot into recovery but I can boot into bootloader. I tried relocking my bootloader and flashing a new kernel using Hasoon's tool but as soon as my phone boots into the bootloader, my PC won't recognize it! I am stuck on a CMD screen saying < waiting for device >
I have searched a lot for my problem. I have gone till page 10 of "Amaze Q/A, Help and Troubleshooting" on XDA, I have googled it as much as I could. Some solution came close to my problem but couldn't solve my problem completely! Please help me, guys! I am using Windows 8 on both of my PCs.
Thank you
Looooooool that's a big note, just unlock the bootloader if it's locked then flash 4ext and flash the gb rom in my signature.. It'll give you a working device

So, I flashed 4ext recovery via fastboot and then "install from zip" via 4ext recovery.
But I am still stuck at the same location -_-

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.
OS : 4.0.3 ICS Running HTC Sense 3.6.
A quick fix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2017932
Flash my debloater, choosing the Sense option(will be brought to a widget removal screen if you don' use them all) & AOSP lockscreen. Disadvantage to that though, you will have to unlock to see the caller id when it rings.

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.

Could you kindly provide me a link to the right topic. Do you think my phone is beyond repair ? Have I bricked it ?
I am running 4.0.3 ICS on Sense 3.6

You are far FAR from being bricked. Softbricked yes, hardbricked no.

Thank you for the help buddy. I am glad you said its not. I dont know what I would have done if it had. This is my first android phone and I took it a week back. I was beginning to miss my iPhone . Unfortunately the link you provided wont help me because I have no way of restarting phone other than by removing battery. Even when in fastboot, the pc does not recognise the device even when device shows fastboot usb. I doubt if I can get past step 1 in that link.
I found that I am on Vigor H Boot 2.27.000 and Radio 2.22.10.0803r with S-ON. I tried to turn S-Off after reading and educating myself on android from this forum till now. But even to S-Off, I need to be able to enable USB in debug mode which I am not able to. Any suggestions ?
Device still not fixed
hi,
I took the phone to a couple of places to check if it can be fixed, No one was able to fix it thus far, Any other advice or suggestions to fix this would be great. Any admins/mods have something to add ? Please, I am desperate to fix this phone. Anyway of doing this ?
Have you tried flashing a different rom?
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:

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.

Hi everyone,
I recently tried to flash a new ROM and had to upgrade my HBOOT. After i did so, I continued to flash the rom but probably made a noob move along the way because it got stuck at the HTC boot logo. I turned my phone off and then booted into recovery again but then got the error that 4ext was booting into safe mode because it could not mount the sd card. I did a bit of research and came across a thread that said to reflash 4ext and so I did. Now when I'm trying to boot into recovery, I get stuck at HTC boot logo again. At this point all I can boot into is HBOOT. Is there anything I can do or is my phone pretty much bricked?
My HBOOT version is currently 1.93.002.
Thanks.

Well i cant get into 4ext at all now.
But i do have a few questions if you dont mind:
Would i lock it simply by doing fastboot oem lock in command prompt?
So the ruu would be the first one under tmobile on this site: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1617644?
And could you link me to or give me a quick tutorial on how to flash the ruu without being able to get into 4ext?

I have HTC Amaze 4G Asian version s-on unlocked. A few days back, I put my mobile on charging. Suddenly I saw it was restarted and then stuck on htc logo. After waiting some time, I plugged the battery out and put on charging again. After a couple of hours, I tried to turn it on but it did not. After making some attempts, I came to know that the battery had been damaged. I bought a new battery and tried to switch on the mobile. This time, the mobile turned on but stuck at htc logo. I went to bootscreen and tried to run 4EXT recovery but the recovery did not open. I tried to reinstall recovery with All-in-one-toolkit but failed.
Then I tried to flash ph85img.zip but it did not work. I tried Mainver Error Fix with AIO toolkit but it did not work. I tried to relock my mobile with AIO toolkit but it was also unable to find the device (driver has successfully been installed and tested).
Now I am worried because I am not able to recover my phone with any of the ways I know. I have also tried HTC Amaze Unbrick Project in UBUNTU but it was not able to detect any bricked device.
The mobile now turns on but does not go beyond htc logo. By pressing volume down + power key, it goes to HBOOT and BOOTLOADER but cannot load RUU flash or recovery.
Please help me how to recover it and make it working.
Hello..
1st of all your Mobile is not hard bricked so you may not try that unbrick project now.
2nd thing I am pretty sure that you're following all steps on that stuck screen.
But to use that AIO tool you must be in bootloader or fastboot to execute their commands.
3rd
To flash that RUU , the file must be on external SD card.
So conclusion is that restart your phone in bootloader/fastboot then try to flash that 4ext recovery.
And then flash gb Rom because you're s -on and having Asian amaze so there is no chance that you have ics Rom.
Download that gb Rom from Asian guide of aj to upgrade amaze in general section. And flash it through 4ext.
Hit that thanks button if I helped you

Rename your file to PH85IMG.zip and place it on your sdcard.
Some times what happens.. That when you rename that file then the file name may like ph85img.zip.zip due to hidden extension in Windows.
So make sure that it's only ph85img.zip not ph85img.zip.zip..
And try again..

I cannot go to 4ext. When I select "recovery" in hboot menu, my mobile restarts and then sticks at HTC logo.
I had the same problem first flash 4ext recovery then, use the amaze toolkit and click flash rom it should take you to a hidden section of the phone that will show a black screen and blue htc logo on the screen, you should at the very least be able to go into recovery turn on smart flash and then re flash the rom so everything goes through

Then how can I recover? PHIMG will not work and 4EXT is nor opening neither flashing. Does it mean the cell has been damaged permanently?

Thank you very much. I was able to flash recovery and 4ext is now loading. However, when I go to bootloader > recovery, it loads 4ext and then 4ext always shows "preparing for boot". After sometime, 4ext restarts the cellphone and its keeps on restarting again and again. I am not able to enter into 4ext menu. Will you suggest some solution to it please?

Thank you very much. I was able to flash recovery and 4ext is now loading. However, when I go to bootloader > recovery, it loads 4ext and then 4ext always shows "preparing for boot". After sometime, 4ext restarts the cellphone and its keeps on restarting again and again. I am not able to enter into 4ext menu. Will you suggest some solution to it please?

no you cant flash a ruu from recovery, ruus can be flashed only through bootloader.. and to that you must be S OFF or you must have a branded amaze 4G
Hello all, and thank you for taking your time to attempt to help me with my problem.
I could not find a solution even after hours of researching and trial and error, so please forgive me if this happens to be one of those problems that are seemingly impossible to solve, when the actual solution is really quite simple! I'm hoping it is at the very least...
A few days ago I received an HTC Evo 3d from a family member.
I'm certain that the phone was completely stock, never rooted, no custom ROMs ---- just an ordinary HTC 3vo.
So I decide that I'm going to go ahead and find the steps necessary in order to flash a custom ROM, and I believe I did with this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889438
I followed the guide, and eventually got to "***Step3: Perform JuopunutBear (wire trick) to get S-OFF status" where I had a little difficulty with the timing of the taps on the SD card. At one point I removed the battery from my phone because I thought it was stuck on the screen with the green arrow pointing downward, and after trying to reboot I found that the same JuopunutBear screen with the green arrow was still there.
I removed the battery once more, but this time when booting I held the volume down button to initiate bootloader. That went successfully, and so after trying the methods I found at http://unlimited.io/jbtroubleshooting.htm to remove this screen, I figured that I might try and flash a ROM from recovery and maybe that would fix it?xD My logic proved only half correct because even after formatting data/cache/dalvik, and then flashing a few different ROMs (not in the order of course) to see if any of them would allow the phone to boot up completely into OS, the phone is now stuck in a bootloop :'(
If I didn't provide enough information in the above description then I'd be glad to give any more details.
My bootloader reads like this:
- Juopunutbear -
SHOOTER XC SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.57.5757
eMMC-boot

^ Never noticed that the date is inaccurate before typing all of this out! Not sure that has anything to do with my problem here, but still interesting..
Thank you again for taking your time to help me.
This phone has given me trouble since it was first given to me lol.
The first issue before rooting or anything was with the inability to use wifi!
I ended up having to buy service for the phone to even register my Gmail account..
You're in good shape
With s off you can recover easily.
The question is what do you want to run?
If you're going to stay ics sense, then you'll just need to format all partitions except sd and flash a Rom
If you want to run a jb Rom, you need to downgrade your hboot to the jbear 1.50

I think the date is the release of the bootloader or something...shouldn't be today's date

Thank you for the reply
I'll try flashing different sense ROMs specifically,
and see if it will boot all the way through to the home screen.
Have you installed a recovery?
I suggest 4ext
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
I have installed a recovery, and it just happens to be 4ext!
I've been installing my ROMs by toggling usb storage in recovery, placing the ROM on the root of my microSD, and after disconnecting from usb storage I proceed to flash the chosen ROM, provided I've already wiped everything.
My trouble usually comes afterward when the ROM has completed it's installation and I go to reboot. Every time I've tried so far I've encountered a bootloop :/ But we'll see this time!
Gotcha
You'll get it sorted
What Rom are you trying now?
Sometimes you need to flash the boot.IMG after the Rom, but that usually only happens if youre s on.
If it still bootloops I would try this next:
Boot to recovery
Wipe all partitions
Reboot recovery
Wipe all partitions again
Flash Rom
Reboot phone
If all else fails you can run the ruu (will return u to stock Rom and recovery) and you will keep s off but will need to install recovery again.

I chose Team d3rp - Lights Out just to see if it would work, and to my surprise it did!!!
I wiped everything but my sd manually once,
and after flashing the ROM, the aroma installer gave the option to wipe again so I did.
After a suspenseful minute or two during the reboot, I finally got everything set up!
I can't thank you enough..!!
I'm not sure if I should make another thread or not, but the only problem I see now is with the wifi.
I have it connected to my network, and it's showing full signal,
but I can't access the internet and 3g doesn't even pick up when wifi is on.
If needed I'll make another thread, but I figured I would ask just in case!
I appreciate all the help so far.
Try a reboot or different kernel...don't know why it doesn't work

Hello, a couple of days ago I received an HTC Evo 3D, but I don't like the stock HTC rom, so I decided to use NonSense (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1507616). I updated firmware, and installed CWM 6.0, wiped partitions and installed that ROM. But now i got a bootloop :/ .
Bootloader is unlocked..

S-off, I think it has to be s-on, hboot 1.53.0007, i'm currently trying to use RUU get back to stock, RUU says :
from image version 3.28.401.1 to 3.28.631.1
But it fails because of model id.
Bootloader is currently relocked.

You can only flash sense based ROMs with that h-boot. Since you're s-off just downgrade your h-boot to 1.49.0007 or 1.49.1107 and you can flash anything you want
Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk
Oh crap, made a mistake, I have s-on.
Then you can only flash sense based ROMs. Try Cool ICS, it's great. Or do s-off ?

Why would you want to repair it before you bury it--wouldn't you then be burying a perfectly good phone?
Wanna give us a little more to go on? Since you made it to the HTC screen, let me hunch that you unlocked it, installed a recovery, installed a rom, rebooted and got stuck?
Have you flashed other ROM's successfully?
Which recovery? 4EXT has a "Smart Flash" setting you might have to enable if you are not S-Off.
Did you follow any "how to install a rom" instructions available here on the XDA site, found by doing a search?
The steps outlined numerically in Hasoon's toolkit provide an easy path to upgrade.
Are you coming from Ginger Bread and trying to directly install some other base ROM, such as Ice Cream Sandwich, or Jelly Bean, or KitKat?--That won't work without first upgrading the phone's firmware with the official release.
So look around a little and see if perhaps there is already an answer.

To change the cid you have to s-off if you cant s-off then just flash a recovery and flash a rom according to your firmware

i tried to reflash with ruu , the phone is with wind mobility , said firmware is newer than the ruu im trying to flash with , its at h boot 1.93.002 and s is on and i tried to flash with ota and said that the cid didn't match , i need some kinda flash that's newer than the h boot or help me figure it out please !!!!!!!!!!! oh and my partitions in the internal sd arent showing size and i flashed ext4 recovery but can get anywhere with that either , im at my wits end
Since you're hboot is 1.93.002 I guess your in ics firmware so.. Go to 4ext recovery, go to tools and enable smart flash, then flash ARHD or energy rom and reboot back to recovery through power menu in 4ext recovery. and if you get a message like smart flash or something like that read it and say yes or no (it's been way to long since I last went through this procedure personally but I kinda remember I got a message like that) if you don't get any just simply reboot and you'll have a working device.. If you want to change the cid go through s-off and do it.. There's a guide I'm general section by a senior member called AJ refer to that

Your bootloader was unlocked when you did this?
It's in the general section as (guide for unbranded htc amaze) OR something similar it'll be easy to find its in the very top
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
you should be able to get it working by just flashing the stock image in fastboot..
you'll need to re-lock your bootloader for this to work.
grab the appropriate stock image for your phone and carrier (must be newer than the bootloader) from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_Amaze_4G/ROMs#Stock_ROMs
(i think this one - the ZIP file under wind stock image - is yours: http://d-h.st/7kW)
save it as "PHP85IMG.ZIP" and put it into the root of your microSD card. then hold down POWER and VOL DOWN to boot into fastboot.
follow the instructions to apply the update and reboot.
