[Q] HTC Amaze won't turn on - HTC Amaze 4G

I was trying to get my HTC Amaze Unbranded to go from GB to ICS following the tutorials on these forums. I was using Hasoon2000 toolkit to root my phone. I think I flashed 4EXT and from there install the superzu thing. After that I tried to s off with control bear. It failed. Now when I turn on my phone, the htc logo appears for a second then the screen turns black. After a few seconds the cameras led flash blinks and the phone reboots again. This process keeps repeating. I can access the bootloader menu where it says fastboot, bootloader etc.
Is my phone bricked? Can I do something to fix it? Any help please

YOU DO NOT MAKE THE RIGHT INSTRUCTIONS
1.) Make sure you have required HTC drivers installed
2.) Download Hasoon's All-In-One Toolkit
3.) Unlock your bootloader through htcdev.com (hasoon's toolkit can help)
4.) Now perform S-Off. You have to be on Stock Ruu to perform S-OFF, so best to do it now while you are still on stock
5.) Once you successfully S-OFF your device, you will then need to SuperCID your device
6.) When your device is S-Off and has SuperCID, you can then download this Amaze_ICS_RUU ..Rename the RUU to PH85IMG.zip and place it on the root of your EXTERNAL SDcard. Once this file is on the SDcard, do a battery pull, then turn the device back on while holding down the VOLUME DOWN button. it will prompt you to install, select yes and YAY, you will now be on ICS.
7.) Take the PH85IMG of the RUU off of your SDcard, and then put this PH85IMG of HBOOT on to the SDcard. Repeat the same instructions as step 6 to flash this IMG.
8.) Congratulations, you now have stock ICS. If you would like to flash custom ICS or JB roms, continue with steps 9 & 10
9.) Finally, Use Hasoon's toolkit to, Flash 4EXT Recovery AND
10.) Then to flash supersu.zip to gain root (also done using hasoons toolkit)
YOU MUST FIRST Unlock your bootloader

I forgot to mention my bootloader is unlocked. I unlocked it using htcdev.com. Its unlocked but the phone keeps turning on with a vibration, the htc logo appears for a second, then it turns off. After 7 seconds my cameras flash blinks and the whole process constantly repeats itself. I really need help. Before I could perform the wire trick, this problem occurred.

[Q] (another) noob needs help with rezound

i have been searching these forums for the past few days and have come up dry.. i have an htc rezound and I want the OTA BUT i have perm rooted it and removed most (if not all) the bloat... how do i go about rebloat and relocking my phone? i have tried using cleantool and it keeps waiting for the phone or it just fails all over itself repeatedly
edit: i have it set to charge only, sync is off and closed, and it is in fastboot mode. I have also tried something I found on here which seems like it is very similar to cleantools with less functionality and it just says <waiting for device> indefinitely

There are a few different ways to do it. Easiest way I did it to make it foolproof, is flash stock recovery if your on a custom recovery and relock phone and run the RUU. It will put you back to stock and you can just download the OTA and update it, then Unlock and flash Amon Ra recovery and from the developer menu install SU and superuser to reroot.
If you need more instructions , just ask otherwise to me that was the easiest way.
P.S. Just be aware the internal SD card gets wiped after you unlock again so move anything off the internal SD to the external SD that you want to save prior to unlocking again.
I didnt take the ota, I used cons ota rom.. this was my steps for that
1) download rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467329
2) boot into recovery, flash rom....
here you can go two ways, if you dont want the new baseband, it will flash the ph98img and not do anything, if you want the new radios I will tell you how I did it, then tell you where you need to start if you wont want them.
3)perform nandroid
4)via adb (thing you used to unlock originally) fastboot oem lock YOU ARE NOW LOCKED.
5)boot into hboot it will flash the ph98img
6) Unlock bootloader (find the email with the unlock.bin code and follow those instructions)
7)Reboot phone
8)connect to pc, charge only usb debugging enabled
9)run one click root
Proceed with this if you get the mainver error ONLY otherwise if having wifi issues, proceed to step 13
10) after rooted follow this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467099 NOTE, op in the thread supplied his miscnew.img USE IT!
11)Read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459347&highlight=mainver it will explain how to get the ph98s to work.
11a) do the ph98 file thing to the ph98 img in amon ra to get it to flash in bootloader
12) after amon ra is restored, perform restore nandroid.
If wifi is not working, even if you dont have mainver issues do step 13
13) If having wifi issues as in not working go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467793 and follow instructions EXACTLY!!!
Now you should be running new radios, hb2.11, the 2.6 kernel etc.
You will have to follow the post in step 11 to get any ph to work from now on.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE, BURN YOUR HOUSE DOWN OR ABDUCTED BY ALIENS BY FOLLOWING THE ABOVE INSTRUCTIONS.
im having some trouble getting into recovery because clockworkmod says it does not have an officially supported recovery... how do i manually install one?
Assuming you installed a recovery, just boot to Hboot. Pull the battery, then hold the power button and volume down button. Once in Hboot you can choose Recovery.

To flash a recovery do the above steps to get into hboot (power down, pull battery, hold volume down and power buttons) and once you are in hboot, choose fastboot. Then connect to your pc and in the pc cmd prompt type:
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img (name of stock recovery you need to download, trying to find a link for you...)
That will put the stock recovery on the phone, then you can run RUU to get the rest back to stock and you can then accept the OTA.

got it! OTA and everything.. debating on rerooting for a bit thanks a lot everyone! +rep
All you have to do to reroot now is flash Amon Ra and then install su from within that. So it's super easy at this point.
su seems to have remained installed.... no root but su is definitely still installed! the only reason i am going to wait on rerooting is so i can learn more about it before i flash or anything
Yeah, it will show up in your apps but it doesn't work properly until you reinstall. I thought I had remained rooted but when I went to use Titanium Backup it couldn't get root access, then after I reinstalled su it worked fine.
But yeah, if you don't need it yet don't worry about it. The only good reason to do it is to use TiBU to save all your settings and if you have Amon Ra you can make a nandroid of your phone so that if something happens you have a backup image of everything and can restore it very easily via Amon Ra. You can still stay on stock ROM etc... the only thing you would need to flash is the Amon Ra recovery.
ya i see what you mean... I also want to get rid of this unbelievable amount of bloat... geez their are a ton of useless verizon apps never mind the stupid games

[HOW TO] S-Off, Flash ICS ROM, Flash ENG HBOOT, Recovery and Root!

This will explain everything you need to do to get S-Off, ICS ROM, ENG HBOOT, Recovery and Root.
Things you need to download:
My AIO Kit. Get the full version from here.
SuperUser from here
ENG HBOOT from here
ICS ROM from here
Stock T-Mobile 1.43 ROM from here
READ S-Off Instructions from here.
S-Off Tool from here. (Download is in the bottom)
As always, I do not take any responsibility for what happens to your phone. I've done this myself and I can confirm that it works.
This is for T-Mobile Users ONLY (for now). I'll edit it for other users soon.
BACK UP YOUR INFO FROM YOUR PHONE MEMORY AND SD CARD.
1. Make sure USB Debugging is enabled. Go to Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging.
2. Download my tool and run it. If your bootloader is unlocked (most likely it is), on my tool, press "Boot into Bootloader". After you are in bootloader, run the "Relock Bootloader" command
3. Put the Stock T-Mobile 1.43 ROM on to your SD Card. Make sure it in the root folder. Rename the file to PH85IMG. Run the command on my tool to "Boot into Bootloader" It should scan for the ROM. If it doesn't (It may be in Fastboot mode, that's why) press the power button so it switches from Fastboot into HBOOT mode.
4. It will detect it and press the Volume Up button. It will flash the Stock ROM. After the phone boots up, re enable USB Debugging again.
5. Get your unlock_code.bin from HTCDev (unless you have it) and place it in the Data folder of my tool.
6. Run the "Unlock Bootloader" command.
7. When it sends the .bin file to your phone, press Volume Up and the Power Button. It will unlock your bootloader. Re enable USB Debugging again.
8. Flash CWM 5.0.2.7 recovery from my tool.
9. Place the SuperUser zip file onto your SD Card (not the internal one!). From my tool, press "Boot into Recovery". Go to "Install Zip From SD Card", "Choose Zip from SD Card" and flash "Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip". Press the back button and select "Reboot System Now"
10. Read the S-Off instructions carefully and watch the video.
BACK UP YOUR INFO FROM YOUR PHONE MEMORY AND SD CARD.
Put an blank memory card in your phone. Run the tool and do the wire trick.
11. After it is all done, re enable USB Debugging. Put the ICS ROM on your SD Card. Rename it to PH85IMG. Run the command on my tool to "Boot into Bootloader" It should scan for the ROM. If it doesn't (It may be in Fastboot mode, that's why) press the power button so it switches from Fastboot into HBOOT mode. Press Volume Up and it will flash the ICS ROM. (It will boot twice into bootloader so DO NOT TOUCH YOUR PHONE). After it is done, press the power button and the phone will restart.
12. When it turns back on, re enable USB Debugging. Put the ENG HBOOT on your SD Card. Rename it to PH85IMG. Run the command on my tool to "Boot into Bootloader" It should scan for the HBOOT. If it doesn't (It may be in Fastboot mode, that's why) press the power button so it switches from Fastboot into HBOOT mode. Press Volume Up and now you have ENG HBOOT.
13. Flash CWM 5.0.2.7 recovery from my tool.
14. Place the SuperUser zip file onto your SD Card (not the internal one!). From my tool, press "Boot into Recovery". Go to "Install Zip From SD Card", "Choose Zip from SD Card" and flash "Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip". Press the back button and select "Reboot System Now"
You are now fully S-Off'd, have ICS installed and fully rooted!
Please be sure to thank all the devs that made all the tools and mods!
Alot of info here.
If I already flashed the ICS leak , now locked bootloader , S still ON.
Would it be 5-9 then step 13 ?

If you are on the ICS leak, I believe the new HBOOT that comes with it does not support flashing recoveries. I could be wrong though.
If you want to S-Off, follow from step 5 and onward.
If the new HBOOT supports flashing recoveries, do as you said, 5-9.

Great tutorial Hasoon but shouldn't you mention in steps 3, 11 and 12 that once you've finished flashing the ph85img file and rebooted in each case that that file should be deleted to avoid any conflict with the next step renaming to ph85img? If noobs already see a ph85img file, they might think the correct one is already there instead of deleting the old one and renaming the next step file ph85img which would be a totally different file. Just my thoughts to avoid any confusion which inevitably will happen. lol
Unlocked via HTC DEV my old info wasnt working for whatever reason.
Followed steps recovery flashed , superuser flashed.
Titanium cant get root priveleges. Updates SU DLd busybox.
Not sure if Im rooted or if the app is wonky.

Download Root Check Basic and take a screenshot of what it says. Let me see if the files got the correct permissions.
Weird , BusyBox was not launching anything. Rebooted now it does says SU not giving permission.
SU switched from Prompt to Allow no difference.
Update stops at checking for root.
RootCheck "sorry this device does not have proper root access"
For clarity S On , Bootloader is unlocked , CWM is installed , I flashed SU zip twice. ICS leak installed prior to all the above. S On, rooted , custom rom prior to ICS update.

Thanks but I think that the directions could be even more explicit.
Using the all in one tool, it is not clear whether the phone needs to be connected to usb (some people may forget), and it's not clear what mode the phone needs to be in. Does it need to be in the bootloader menu by pressing vol down and power? Or can you just plug the phone in via usb and start it working?

[Q] S-OFF and Flashing ICS ROMs

Hey Everyone,
So i want to be able to flash all the cool ICS ROMS. I am on stock firmware with S-OFF (attached Screen Shot). My questions is can I flash new firmware (3.11.605.22) and start flashing all the ICS ROMs? I would rather update to ICS firmware then to install the 'old firmware patch'. Am I making a good call on this?
Here is what I plan to do:
Follow steps here to upgrage firmware.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1536297
But since I am S-OFF I am thinking I can just do step 5. Since I am S-OFF do I need to unlock boot loader?
1. Download the 3.11.605.22 Leaked RUU: LINK MD5 = 58b0f42defc689650ddd5128f195dc7d
2. Rename the RUU to "PH98IMG.zip"
3. Copy the renamed RUU to the root of your external SD Card.
4. Re-lock the bootloader.
Open a DOS prompt and change directory to the folder where you have fastboot.exe
Reboot to bootloader
Type "fastboot oem lock" (No Quotes) while you are in bootloader (fastboot usb).
5. Reboot to bootloader again via recovery menu.
The bootloader will begin to scan the PH98IMG.zip - This will take awhile
When it asks if you want to update press volume up for yes.
The update will make the first pass - This will take awhile as well
The phone will reboot and sit on the white HTC screen - DO NOT freak out once again "this will take awhile"
When it is done it will reboot back to fastboot mode.
Make sure "Bootloader" is highlighted and then press the power button to run the second pass of the install - once again "this will take awhile " - watch the screen to verify ok next to each partition
Once complete press the power button to reboot.
Your device will now begin booting on the newly installed Leaked RUU
6. Once booted skip everything in setup
7. Proceed to http://htcdev.com/ to unlock the bootloader - Unlock keys do expire so you may need to request a new key.
8. Install the custom recovery of your choice.
9. Flash RezROM as instructed above.
Then start flashing Clean ROM or Ivysaur ROM.
Thanks for any help...

sorry didn't get back to you sooner, was doing something else.
Since no one has helped you, i'll give you some tips.
there is a newer leak you can flash. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639731
so download, rename to PH98IMG.ZIP, and put on the actual SD CARD not the internal card. It will wipe the internal card.
Reboot into bootloader, and when asked chose volume up to flash. In my case it should flash through twice on its own. If not click power when it gets done flashing the hboot. Remove the PH98IMG.ZIP file off the sd card, and then reboot into the bootloader and chose factory reset. If you don't you may have radio issues. I did.
you do not need to unlock as you are s-off. grab the PH98IMG.ZIP i attached and flash to install amon ra 3.15
then you can flash whatever ICS rom you want. Just note you will need to flash a file if you go back to GB to change the mount points back. So opposite of the ICS OLD FIRMWARE PATCH.
You will not be able to use fastboot commands with this HBOOT. You will have to flash anything you want to flash through hboot with a PH98IMG.ZIP file.
Hey nosympathy,
No problem with the delay, thanks again for the guidance. I see you said I will not be able to run fastboot cmds with this new hboot. Will this be an issue? I am not saying I am a power user on flashing ROMs but could I ever get into a situation where I will need to run fastboot cmds?

No problem with the delay, thanks again for the guidance. I see you said I will not be able to run fastboot cmds with this new hboot. Will this be an issue? I am not saying I am a power user on flashing ROMs but could I ever get into a situation where I will need to run fastboot cmds?

Really only if you needed to say flash a recovery, or a boot.img without them being in a PH98IMG.ZIP file.
In all likely hood, team juopunutbear will probably end up hex editing the actual ICS release hboot, so we can run these commands. You can also unlock the bootloader again, but it makes it a pain to say locked instead of relocked again.
So more than likely, you would not on a daily basis need these commands.

Can Someone Please Help?

This is an exerpt from a previous thread. I am at a loss and ready to junk this phone.

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!
How did u flash the recovery? Was it with the all in 1 toolkit?? Are u s-off???
Sent from my Amaze 4G using xda app-developers app
Ok so you flashed 4ext... Now use the toolkit to root the phone... Then flash the appropriate RUU (not just any rom)
(ruu may relock bootloader)
Boot
Try your recovery...
I hope your recovery has your contacts etc but I expect it won't... If you were ics flash ics.. If you were gb you can flash either..
Boot... Fingers crossed...
If you are s-off and rooted.. Unlock CID (sticky)
If everything has worked you should be Ok.....
Also if you are lucky Google will have copy's of your contacts and calendar etc thanks to autosync

[SOLVED] Help Needed for Updating to 4.4.2: "htc_fastboot.exe has stopped working"

[SOLVED] Help Needed for Updating to 4.4.2: "htc_fastboot.exe has stopped working"
Hi Developers
I have a SIM-unlocked AT&T HTC One (32GB, completely stock, Android 4.3, Sense 5, modelid: PN0712000, cidnum: CWS__001, Hboot 1.55.0000, baseband: 4T.20.3218.13, S-ON, LOCKED bootloader). I have been trying to update the OS to 4.4.2 but I failed every time. Here's a list of what I did so far:
1. I tried the RUU_M7_UL_K44_SENSE55_MR_Cingular_US_4.18.502.7_R10_Radio_4T.24.3218.09_10.26.1718.01L_release_356565_signed_2_2.exe. It starts OK but when it reaches 5%, an error "htc_fastboot.exe has stopped working" appears and the process is terminated. I have tried this on three different PCs (all with Windows 7 and proper drivers installed, adb and fastboot working) and all of them showed the same error. Suprisingly, RUU_M7_UL_JB43_SENSE50_MR_Cingular_US_3.17.502.3_Radio_4A.19.3263.13_10.38j.1157.04_release_334235_signed_2.exe runs just fine and I can reflash the 4.3 using it without any trouble.
2. I tried flashing the OTA update.zip via stock recovery by copying the update.zip on the phone storage, rebooting into recovery and selecting "apply from phone storage". It didn't work either. I failed to catch the error message showed on the recovery screen as it was very quick to exit recovery and start the phone in normal mode.
3. I extracted the rom.zip from the RUU.exe and tried to flash the rom.zip from fastboot using "fastboot flash zip rom.zip". It also starts to work but after some time (around 220 seconds) it shows "12 signature verification failed" error.
Could anyone please let me know how can I update my OS to 4.4.2? Thanks in advance.
OK, after two days of constant searching, I have found a solution to update the AT&T HTC One to Android 4.4.2 (Sense 5.5) from Android 4.3 (Sense 5.0). Here's what I had to do. I started from complete stock Android 4.3 (OS version 3.17.502.3), S-ON, bootloader locked.
1. I unlocked the bootloader by collecting the Unlock_code.bin file from htcdev.com.
From Settings > Power, uncheck the "Fast boot". Then turn off your device. Wait for a few seconds. Turn on the device with the volume down button pressed. This will take you to bootloader mode. Using the volume up/down keys, select FASTBOOT and connect your device to your PC using a USB cable. On the device screen, you should see FASTBOOT USB.
Now open a terminal window on your PC (I am assuming you have adb and fastboot installed. If not, search Google for "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" and install it). Type the following command:
Code:
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
On the device screen, you will have to choose YES using the vol up/down keys and Power button. This will unlock your device's bootloader and wipe your device completely. Your phone will reboot.
2. I flashed a custom recovery for rooting the device.
Download your favorite recovery. I used twrp-recovery-2.7.0.4b-m7-20140408.img.
Enter the bootloader mode again as described before. In the terminal windows, write the following code to flash the custom recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-recovery-2.7.0.4b-m7-20140408.img
Now reboot your device. Download your favorite SU binary zip and copy it to your phone. I used UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip.
Turn off your device and enter bootloader mode again. It should show TAMPERED and UNLOCKED but S-ON now.
Select RECOVERY from the bootloader menu. This will reboot the device into TWRP recovery. Navigate to the SU zip file and flash it. Upon completion of the flash, wipe cache.
3. I used rumrunner to get S-OFF.
Now that we have a rooted device, we can use rumrunner. Download rumrunner_HTC_0.5.0.zip. Extract it. Connect your phone (turned on) to the PC and enable USB Debugging from Settings>Developer Options. On your PC, from the extracted rumrunner folder, run the sojo.exe in administrator mode.
For rumrunner to run, you need to be connected to the internet (I don't know why). Also, the process will be easier if you - a) turn off all screen securities, b) connected your device to the PC in adb mode and fastboot mode at least once before running rumrunner (this will ensure if you have proper drivers installed or not). It will take some time for rumrunner to get S-OFF. Your device will reboot many times, don't worry, this is normal.
So, now we have a tampered, unlocked, S-OFF device.
4. I returned to Stock 4.3 ROM using RUU.
Relock your bootloader using the following command:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
I used the RUU_M7_UL_JB43_SENSE50_MR_Cingular_US_3.17.502.3_Radio_4A.19.3263.13_10.38j.1157.04_release_334235_signed_2.exe to return to stock. This RUU didn't give any "htc_fastboot.exe stopped working" error and ran smoothly every time. This will remove the "Tampered" sign, but your S-OFF will be as it were. This is what we wanted in the first place. A complete stock firmware/ROM with S-OFF.
5. I flashed the OTA.zip using stock recovery.
Now, download the 4.4.2 OTA zip file and place it in your phone storage. Reboot the phone in bootloader and then recovery mode. Clear cache from the stock recovery and then select "apply from phone storage". Navigate to the OTA.zip file on your phone and select it. After it completes the flashing process, do a factory reset from the recovery or the bootloader mode. Now, you should have a stock HTC 4.4.2 device with Sense 5.5, locked bootloader and S-OFF.

This RUU didn't give any "htc_fastboot.exe stopped working" error and ran smoothly every time. This will remove the "Tampered" sign, but your S-OFF will be as it were. This is what we wanted in the first place. A complete stock firmware/ROM with S-OFF.
5. I flashed the OTA.zip using stock recovery.
Now, download the 4.4.2 OTA zip file and place it in your phone storage. Reboot the phone in bootloader and then recovery mode. Clear cache from the stock recovery and then select "apply from phone storage". Navigate to the OTA.zip file on your phone and select it. After it completes the flashing process, do a factory reset from the recovery or the bootloader mode. Now, you should have a stock HTC 4.4.2 device with Sense 5.5, locked bootloader and S-OFF.

Thank you, Hafizimtiaz!!! Finally, I'm the lastest OTA with Sense 6!
Unfortunately I am facing this issue on both Win 8 and a brand new Win 7 too. I have no clue how to run the RUU. I used to use this same PC for RUU in the past. Now I get this error of HTC_fastboot.exe has stopped working. Any help appreciated.
