I'm pretty sure you need to re-lock your phone and then flash a RUU. You will be on un-rooted, bone-stock ICS. I recommend that you use a T-Mobile RUU.
To do this you need to have ADB installed on your computer. Open up ADB in command prompt (navigate to the platform tools folder) and then hold shift and right click. You should see an option to open a command Window.
When it's open type in " fastboot oem lock ".
That should lock your bootloader. You can now download a RUU and flash it in the bootloader. Just rename it to "PH85IMG". It should be a zip format. Put it on your external SD card and let it flash in bootloader.
You can also find RUUs here. Chose the one for your native carrier, if your phone is unbranded, I recommend the T-mobile one.

When it says locked it's locked. When it's unlock it may say unlocked or juopunutbear on the top heading in the bootloader.

I'm sure that whether your bootloader is (re)locked or not, it has to flash the ROM anyway. The problem will come later when you try to boot the ROM cause it will fail.
Be sure to put the .zip in the root of the external SD card and name it PH85IMG

Try to reflash the RUU and if problem persist then the problem should be in your battery.
And ya check the md5sum of RUU( no need to worry more about md5sum but you may check for surity)

I did flash the RUU and the problem still existed, but it stopped when I put a piece of paper behind the battery, for some reason I think the back case was kinda loose and now since its tight, it hasn't rebooted

I'm trying to do that with an old Amaze I have. I have a Wind version so I downloaded a Wind (Globalive) RUU. Do I still need to rename it to PH85IMG ? Also it came into an exe. file and not a zip, but there is an OTA available that is a zip file. Will a exe file still flash in the bootloader? Thanks in advance

Well it should work exactly the same way. You still have to rename it to PH85IMG since it's device specific not carrier specific.
But if your RUU is an exe I think you have a different type of RUU. For that type, it's a software that updates your phone connected to a USB. For that, you need to connect your amaze to the computer and run the RUU installer. This might be your only option if wind doesn't have any other RUUS.
Another easy way is to go to the development section, and look for the thread by krook which has a collection of RUUS. It's on the 3rd page I think. Download the latest ICS one, rename it to PH85IMG and put it on your external SD (not in any folders) and it will flash in the bootloader.
There is also the Windroid toolkit which just got fixed and updated so that can help assist with the file pushing.

If it's an exe (the one that has an installer and all that Jazz), then no. Just connect your Amaze to the PC and let it do the work.
For the manual updating method, you need a micro sd.

I have an HTC Rezound I have had since launch day. I unlocked the device via HTC Dev site, rooted and installed Clean Rom Developers Edition sometime in May 2012. I have been running this rom since. I have decided to sell the phone on ebay and want to return it to stock for the new purchaser. I downloaded what I thought and hoped was the ICS ruu, renamed it to the PH128.zip (or whatever it is actually supposed to be named), put it on the root of the SD card. Then I downloaded Hasoon's all in one tool kit so i could first "relock" my bootloader. I clicked the relock bootloader button while connected via the usb cable and in the bootloader, and it ran the commands and relocked the bootloader. It now says "relocked". I then clicked bootloader, the phone booted into the bootloader and appeared as though it was loading the zip file, but then nothing happens. Now no matter what I do the phone will only boot into the bootloader and nothing else happens.
Where did I go wrong? What is my remedy? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Does it even recognize the ruu file on your sd card? I'm assuming you renamed the file PH98IMG.zip and its on the root of your sd

It recognized the ruu file on the sd card. It began to load, the little loading bar on the right of the screen loaded once, then twice, and then it should say hit volume up to apply the update but it never did. It just went right back to the same hboot screen. same options. I try to go to recovery and it only reboots to the same hboot screen. It wont do anything. I am trying to download the ruu exe file now and see if that will work. Any suggestions?

You're probably using an RUU that has lower main version or lower hboot version than what you currently have on the device.
Here's a guide meant for the HTC Sensation. Read through it, the procedure for Amaze is similar: http://tinyurl.com/RUUGuide

PG05DIG.zip? Or PG05IMG.zip?
Rename it to PG05IMG and take .zip off.
Then go into hboot and see if it finds the update.

Put your sd card in your pc or mount it, which ever is your favorite way to see/load files from your pc. Open the drive and find the folder options. Click view, and check "show common file types" or something to at effect.
I have found doing this as a general setting on your pc to be very helpful. Your pc will still show you the file as a zip even if it is name.zip.zip. Hope this helps!

Depends on the unlock method you used. You'll probably need to re lock if you used htc dev and then use the allinone tool.

Thanks for your help, I appreciate it. I believe it was the HTC Dev Unlock tool; how would I go about relocking?
Edit: For anyone stumbling upon this, I relocked the device from fastboot using "fastboot oem lock", then when the device rebooted to the bootloader ran the executable from the link below. Problem solved, I'm back at stock gingerbread.

i am in a big problem now. amaze is soft bricked. i am unable to flash any rom. 4ext shows internel sd card cannot be mounted.is is in s-on. i am looking for the ruu. i already have OTA_RUBY_ICS_35_S_Globalive_WWE_2.14.1500.6-1.46.1500.3_release_263096ebhdlebyr7k06p6u.zip . But i needed the 2.14.1500.6 exe file. does any one have exe ruu for wind mobile htc amaze?
First of all, RUUs aren't .exe files.
Second, to flash a RUU you need to be locked. Put the .zip file in the external SD card. Name it PH85IMG. Reboot phone pressing volume down and the bootloader should recognize the .zip and start flashing. After that, you'll be prompted to update.

which methode?
Now this one is the exe method.
1. Download your device specific RUU from this sticky thread or Google for it.
2. Run the RUU and when its de-compressed and asks you to press next, just stop there (Don't close this window and dont press next).
3. Go to the "temp" folder on your PC. If you are on Windows 7 its located in "C:\Users\{Your_User_Name}\AppData\Local\Temp" and on Windows XP its in "C:\Documents and Settings\{Your_User_Name}\Applications Data\Local Settings\Temp"
4. Use the windows search function in "Temp" folder or dig deep into sub folders to find "rom.zip" file. It'll be around ~250MB in size.
5. Copy this file and paste it somewhere else on your PC e.g. desktop.
6. Rename this "rom.zip" file to "PG85IMG.zip"
7. Now take your SD card from Phone and connect it to your PC using a card reader or some other phone.
8. Paste that renamed "PG85IMG.zip" at the root of your SD Card.
9. Now power off your phone. Pull out the battery.
10. Insert the SD Card back in the phone. Insert the battery.
11. Now hold your volume down key and press power button. Keep the volume down key pressed. It will start your phone in boot-loader menu.
12. Select FASTBOOT if its not already selected and press power button.
13.It will search your SD Card for files and will find "PG85IMG.zip" file and will ask if you want to update.
14. Press the volume up button as instructed to continue and then sit back and relax.
Once finished it will ask you to reboot. Once rebooted, you'll be back on stock ROM with S-On.
Delete the "PG85IMG.zip" from SD Card now.
To verify S-On reboot into bootloader again (Step 11) and on the very first line it will say S-On or S-Off
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using Tapatalk
for flashing PG85IMG.zip my phone must be locked or unlock?
To flash back to stock you need to relock the bootloader and make sure you're using the correct image for your device and carrier. S-on or s-off doesn't matter. For example, trying to flash a T-Mobile image won't work. In one of the pinned threads in one of the forums here is a link to the stock images for different carriers. If you can't find it do a search, but I'm pretty sure they can also be found in the Amaze Bible page or in the Amaze Wiki.
Once relocked all you have to do is rename the image and flash from your SD-card in hboot. If it fails to flash you're probably using the wrong image or you're still unlocked. Once you've relocked the bootloader it will say relocked. If the image is from a different carrier it won't work either. Again just make sure the image you're trying to flash is from the carrier that originally sold the phone. Then you should have no problems returning to stock.
i relocked it and went to hboot page
it says
Loading .....[ph85img.zip] then
Checking....[ph85img.zip]
after side bar fulls says "hboot version is older !"
update fail!
press power to reboot

So I tried flashing MIUI and ended up in a bootloop. I relocked the phone to use RUU but I kept getting an error that I was using the wrong one Finally found what appears to be the correct one but my battery got too low to complete the process.Right now I'm using a script I found that keeps rebooting the bootloader so it slowly charges the battery. I also tried putting PG86IMG.zip into the root of the SD card and while it finds it it does not ask me to update just hangs in "Checking PG86IMG.zip" and then returns to the first screen. I've been at this for days now and any help would greatly be appreciated.
Backround:Evo 3D. Sprint. Relocked. s-on. hboot 1.58

i would recommend re-downloading and double checking to ensure the PG86IMG.zip is the right one and is a healthy file. might not fix it but definitely the easiest place to start.

i grabbed the PG86IMG.zip from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2656899 .
That user was having similar problems but hes on VM so I dont know if I need a diffrent PG86IMG.zip.
I have no idea where else to get one.

Make your own ....
Make sure you have the correct ruu for windows
Dont connect your phone
Start the .exe and let it open up
Then go to run and type %temp%
Find the newest folder and open it
Find rom.zip and rename that to PG86IMG.zip
Put it on your sd and make sure It's the only one
Good luck

oh I'm on cdma too. Sprint actually, I'm just not sure if there is a difference between the Sprint files and VM files.

virginmobile uses cdma-shooter
sprint uses gsm-shooteru
so perhaps thats where your problems is . i would recommend you try the gsm section.

"sprint" does not mean gsm....
If you flash gsm stuff to your cdma, you are just asking for headaches..
Does your phone require a sim card?
If yes = gsm
If no = cdma

could you be more specific in "go to run and type %temp%" as i've never done this before.

No my phone does not require a sim card and im on Sprint . I did not flash any gsm stuff.
So so far im still waiting for the battery to get high enough to be able to try what i think the correct ruu is.
so the RUU i was trying to use was 2.89 and i need 2.95 which I've looked for but cannot seem to find. Is there anything else i can do since ive been at this for a week now . Would reunlocking and flashing a recovery do anything? thanks for all the help so far guys.
Edit: now im trying to reunlock but when i try to get the devices serial number i keep getting "list of devices attached" and nothing else. anyone?
There is no ruu for 2.95
You will need s off first then you can run an older ruu
So yes you need to unlock and get s off

So since im trying to get the serial number to reunlock would you happen to know how to fix the fact that i only keep getting "list of devices attached" when i type adb devices?
Edit: so i managed to unlock my bootloader with my original unlock code from months ago and now i can enter recovery. I still get a bootloop unless i enter bootloader first. So do i need to get s off and use an old ruu or could an old nandroid do the work?
Edit again: so I was watching a video on getting s off and it looks like i have to be able to accept super user permissions which i cannot do since im stuck in a bootloop.
Flash a stock based rom, sense ICS
Then take the boot.IMG from the ROM.zip and place it in your SDK folder
Then boot your phone to fastboot
Then in command prompt enter
"fastboot flash boot boot.img"
Reboot your phone and you should be good
