And does your battery has enough power to get it to boot

HTC Amaze. Tried toolkit but it will only boot to screen with circle of green arrows then red triangle with exclamation point. Try to boot to HBOOT and get nothing on the screen via toolkit or button combination. Tried factory reset by finally getting into recovery by just randomly pressing buttons on red triangle screen and factory reset throws many lines of errors where it cannot find /data /cache..... I can pull battery and boot into phone and use phone fine but I am trying to unlock bootloader, root, and flash a custom ROM. I have SCOURED these boards and the net. I have looked at screenshots of the bootloader and tried to see if the screen simply isnt showing the information and that is a possiblility since I pressed down once and power button and it went to the same recovery screen. How do I simply flash this whole thing back to stock? HBOOT, RECOVERY, ROM, EVERYTHING? Possible?
Help would be greatly appreciated!
wrong section only developer can post here

htcdev.com gives you instructions to unlock the bootloader. then you go to the htc amaze all-in-one kit and flash 4ext as a custom recovery. then you can flash any rom you want (assuming you already have ICS installed).
P.S. A quick google for "how to unlock htc amaze bootloader" directs you to htcdev.com for the very first hit. SCOUR HARDER lol.
Moved
Please next time read the rules before posting
With all due respect I have done all of the items using the toolkit involving unlocking the bootloader with token ID. Are you saying to not use toolkit and just use HTCdevs instructions instead?
I apologize for having this in the wrong section. I do not get replies in general or QA sections on this forum or the Note 2 forum.

You have to go to htcdev.com to get the token ID to use the unlocker utility in the htc amaze all-in-one program................. The instructions are there. Again, a quick google would have told you all this.
All that was completed. Any other advice?

okay i just read this whole thread and i'm completely lost as to what your trying to do.. first off if your boot loader is still locked and you want to flash back to stock you need to download the correct RUU file for your carrier... if you supply that information i can help you look for the right one.. then you rename that file to ph85img.zip and place it on the root of your SD CARD and boot into bootloader by removing your battery and placing it back in and "HOLDING" volume down and the power button until you are in the bootloader menu... after that its just following the instructions to flash back to stock
these are the instuctions to Unlock Bootloader > FLASH 4EXT > ROOT > Flash ROM
download hasoon's AiO toolkit and instll the htc usb drivers...
use the toolkit to unlock the bootloader if not go to htcdev.com and follow the VERY easy instuctions listed there... (you can skip the first few about installing android sdk)
after you unlock your boot loader proceed to flash your recovery (id suggest using 4EXT since your prob S-ON)
once you have a custom recovery you can proceed to flash the super SU file including in the aio toolkit
then make a "NANDROID" backup of your phone using 4EXT before you continue to flashing any roms
the rest is simple just download what roms you want and read the instructions to flashing the rom..

I have done all of this to the T back when I originally started this thread and now that I tried it again today. When my phone is booted to bootloader using the toolkit it is just a black screen. When I unlock the bootloader using the token I received from the HTC Dev site the toolkit says it was unlocked successfully. I then flashed custom recovery that it says was done correctly. Then when I boot into recovery it is goes to a picture of a phone with a green circle of arrows for 5 seconds then a phone with a red triangle and exclamation point. If I play around mashing buttons I can get into the stock recovery with blue letters and options to restore (doesnt work, many errors) and 4 other options. It is like my screen is messed up and will not show the bootloader/hboot screens. I have never been able to see the screen with the option for fastloader before which other people can see. Does this make any more sense? When I boot my phone it is a black screen until I see the bleedover from the soft keys, then I have to press the power button to turn screen off and back on for the screen to start working. After that it always works fine!?!?!?! What is wrong here?!? Its like I should just load the stock firmware and start all over but I cannot see the screen to select fastloader so it will recognize the PH#### file I have downloaded and loaded onto my SD Card. I am at a loss over here!
okay so your phone can boot to stock recovery but you cannot boot into the boot loader? via either adb or from pulling the battery and holding the buttons?

Pretty much, with the exception that the only way for me to get into the stock recovery is trying to flash a custom recovery and the phone going to the screen with the green arrow circle then the screen with the red triangle and exclamation and I start pressing random combinations of volume up and power.
I have never seen anything other than:
Green circle screen
Red triangle screen
Stock recovery with blue lettering after random buttons
Ok, this is quite confusing lol. Let's start from the beginning. Take your battery out, put it back in then power on the phone while holding down the volume-down button. This will get u into the botloader. On the top left there will be a few lines of writing, post back here what those lines say. Then we will see where you are and go from there...

Are you sure? Have you taken out your battery, put it back on, put the cover of the phone back on, press AND hold Volume Up and Power Button until you get a white screen that has some options and with the android mascots on the bottom of the screen (in other words the bootloader)? If no, then you need to boot into bootloader through hasoon2000's kit. Now what you do is you install the HTC Drivers through his kit (highlight install HTC Drivers at the top left box, first option in his kit), then after that, have your phone connected to your computer with a USB, then on your phone, go to Developer options in Settings then check USB Debugging. Once that's done, with your phone connected to your computer still, go back to the toolkit and in the second to left box you'll see reboot to bootloader. Click on that and then click on the button below the box that says "Do Command".

Can you boot into the bootloader?
To enter bootloader, hold volume UP and power.
Upon entering the bootloader, you will notice that there is no 'menu' to enter fastboot or recovery. Unfortunately, since the stars didn't align properly, we were unable to tell the new bootloader where to load the images that contain the menu from.
In light of that, you'll have to navigate the menu blind. Use the volume keys to change selection, and the power key to select.
The choices are (in order of pressing volume down):
Start - boot the phone normally [already selected]
Restart Bootloader - reboot into the bootloader
Recovery Mode - enter recovery (CWM)
Power Off - powers the phone off
So, to get to Recovery, you would press volume down twice then power.
Thanks I'll try that out will post results shortly

I tried that nothing comes up even while blind navigating nothing happens tried rebooting into both recovery and bootloader from the power down options and nothing other then this problem the phone works all except both Wi-Fi 4g Data but both were working when I first flashed the ROM

Also when trying to go directly into the bootloader from when the phone is turned off its nothing but a black screen

If you have the android-sdk boot into the rom, and try the command
adb reboot bootloader
or
adb reboot recovery
Ok I'll give that a shot I'll try it out when I get off work.

Was your phone connected to computer while trying to enter download, and does your computer recognize that you have connected to it? Sorry if these sound like obvious questions but trying to rule out what we can.
Yes my phone was connected while trying to go into download mode. And when I plugged my phone into my computer it does recognize it.

I would ask for help in irc maybe ping Shelnutt or autoprime. I was going to suggest running freegee again to see what happens, bit am not sure if that would be risky. Wish I had a better answer.

Phone should not be connected to your computer until your have the program running and the volume buttons pressed. So does your phone say download mode on screen ? You said your computer recognize it, does the program recognize it ?

Last night, my HTC One Mini died on me. Upon plugging it in and rebooting, it sent me to the bootloader screen. It said as follows.

FASTBOOT

FACTORY RESET
CLEAR STORAGE
SIMLOCK

I clicked on fastboot, attempting to hit "Reboot" "Reboot Bootloader" and "Power Down" but all led me back to the same screen. So I scoured the internet, finding various fixes. The ones that didn't involve the computer, all didn't work (such as holding down the power button in bright light), and all the others involved "rooting" the phone. I am not nearly tech-savvy enough to do anything involving code of the sort. I also have no backup (noob move, yes I know). Is there any way to fix my phone without losing any of my data or having to use code or rooting (knowing me, I would end up destroying the thing).
Hate to say it but try the factory reset option. You will loose everything, but you SHOULD(don't hold me to it) regain your phone.

what software were you using on your pc to update your phone ?
Did you get this fixed Im in the same boat as you are. I cant get into recovery, everyfastboot command I try gives me a failed not allowed. Im on S-off superCID 11111111. Any way i try reboot, reset reboot bootloader takes me to same screen with same failed.
Any ideas?
I have an htc droid dna running cyanfox 4.4 its locked and i cannot get into it, it also has fast boot enabled so i cannot reboot into recovery, what do i do? Ive looked but cannot find anything like it.
Plug your phone into your computer. open a command prompt in your platform-tools folder, and type adb reboot bootloader. This will reboot your phone into bootloader, and from there you can access your recovery to do whatever you need to.

Sorry i forgot to mention but my usb debugging isnt enabled. And it being locked i cannot get into it to enable the usb debugging or disable the fast boot.
You are running a custom rom?
In any event, hold down power until it hard reboots. Once the screen shuts off, keep holding down the power button and press the volume down button at the same time, this should boot you into bootloader to access recovery.

Yes i do have a custom rom. I tried your tip but it did not help. When i tried (while the phone was on) the phone shut off and the second the screen went blank i pushed down the volume. But it did the same thing as always. Htc logo flashes twice then it boots up.

No, password locked so i cant get into the phone and change settings. And i cant do a factory reset because the phone has fast boot mode enabled, and i dont have usb debugging enabled. So im in a corner here. I was hoping disconnecting the battery would work like a hard reboot and kick off the fast boot but it did not work.

As ive said before, the phone is not in fastboot mode for programming. The fast boot im talking about is the mode on some phones that makes it boot up faster because it doesnt turn the phone completely off. Because of that i cannot reboot into my recovery or fastboot.

Holding power and volume up until you detect the reboot and then switching to holding only volume down overrides that. Make sure when doing this you are not plugged in.
