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

I tried AIO toolkit while the phone was in fastboot usb mode but it did not work.
I tried RUU with external sd card but the bootloader detected the file and stopped after reading the whole file.
I am not able to run 4ext. I am not able to reinstall 4ext or any other recovery software either.

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

To do anything You must have recovery access.. So first try to access your recovery anyhow..
Because without that it's not possible to gain your mobile again..

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?

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.

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.

Maybe your not asking the question correctly. You say you can't see hboot or recovery. Are you trying to get the phone into bootloader? If so pull your battery put backin then hold volume down and power button. This will load into bootloader. If your just attempting to get the phone rooted then yes the tool I posted will root the phone. If your wanting to be able to change some of the permissions then you will need to install superuser. Hopefully this helps. If not maybe someone else can figure out what you are wanting to do......
I cannot see HBOOT or Recovery.
My display is not working correctly for some reason. I have flashed the stock RUU and unlocked the bootloader via the toolkit.
Now I am stuck because I cannot see the recovery screen to actually install the superuser.zip that the toolkit put onto my sdcard.
Do you see what I am saying here?
If I could simply see my HBOOT and recovery screens I would have this phone rooted in 1 minute. I am looking for a way to root manually via adv or another method because I cannot see the recovery screen to know what buttons to click.

I'm no mean an expert here but reading your frustration posts since yesterday, here's my 2 cents, you may want to try it or wait for more suggestion from others
* I've read somewhere that some "Demo" phone came with a "Demo" Rom, which, has no Hboot and Recovery
* Read this post and try to flash an ENG Hboot onto your phone. ENG Hboot for Amaze 4G can be found in the S-Off thread
* After suscessfully flashed ENG HBoot using ADB command, you can then use fastboot to flash back to stock then root normally or using AIO Toolkit again to flash custom Recovery

Ignore this please, since ENG Hboot can only be flash when S-Off'ed. I really have no worthy suggested at this point and sorry for that

There is a tool called Android Flasher (Google it) which you can use to flash Hboot onto your phone. As for the Hboot I think you can pulled it out from Stock RUU using 7Zip. Once you have Hboot on the phone, the rest will be easy. I think maybe your phone was a Demo one, which, unfortunately doesn't come with Hboot and Recovery hence the reason it doesn't "update" Hboot and Recovery when flashing RUU
I have already flashed an RUU which completed successfully. Would this stock RUU still not flash HBOOT on my phone?
I am using the phone to type this.
I can power off and then hold vol down and power and the phone will do flash a red notification light up top. If I press down volume once then power it will reboot but I of course only see a.black screen.

No it wont change it. It can only be changed after s-off. I would try to s-off. Jbear gives the option to flash a different hboot at the end of a successful s-off. Then hopefully you can finally get this thing rolling.
Definately will.
I thought root was a prereq for s off though. I'll be trying it anyways.

It's good to know that you are - at least - still have a Rom on your phone.
I think the reason why you don't have HBoot and recovery when flashing RUU is because what RUU does is just "updating" whatever img that your phone has on it and when it didn't detected Hboot and recovery, it just skipped updating those img. Long story short, I guess you are lacking HBoot and recovery on your phone. We may simply solv this by flashing stock Hboot and recovery onto the phone using tool such as Android Flasher. Again, I'm no expert on this and has never tried this before so take it with a grain of salt and do some research before give it a go, or, you can wait a little longer to get others' opinion. I don't want to be the one who bricked your phone by giving poor advices.
Be patient, at least you have a fully functional phone for now.
I edited this out...
Good luck

Now I totally understand... I think . Never have heard of this happening or have read where someone has lost the bootloader but yet phone still boots. There is the command with Hasoon's Amaze tool that will put your phone in the bootloader screen. If your still not able to view if you have tried this then hopefully someone else might have an answer for you as I have no other ideas to get you into the bootloader screen and making it visable. Good luck!

I already told you how to get root in your other thread using 4ext recovery app.
Also, you don't need to root to flash a different rom.
Just do what i said here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38165221

hboot screen looks like this...
bootloader
reboot
reboot bootloader
power down
the screen starts with the "bootloader" already selected...push volume down
1 time to select reboot
2 times to select reboot bootloader..etc etc...
push power to MAKE/activate the selection.
4ext recovery is touch based and since you cant see you may want to install clockwork mod from the market as you use the volume buttons for this too!
but i dont use it...(but i have! on this phone!! I just dont know how good it works reliable flashing etc)
maybe get a spare sd card and format it so we all know its blank.
then place the right file on the card
so we know its the only file
then you can count the volume clicks to the right choices.
heres hope for you buddy!... my suspicions are as follows.
flashing a different hboot using
the linked hassoons toolkit then CWM then a reboot may return your screen to power on during the times you need it...
BUT BUT BUT!!!!
i do not know if that is advisable or bad or perfectly fine...anyone else know?????
So i have an HTC Amaze 4G, T mobile. I rooted it using Hasoon2000's all in one kit to do the rooting and all. Once i did that i didn't flash any roms. An old problem arose with the phone with the contacts app always force closing, didn't mind it. So what i did then was want beats audio so i installed the drivers. Everything was fine and dandy until one day it started to restart on its own, and then the weather app would force close. Until when it restarted one time, all i got was a blank black screen, with just the status bar at the top. I couldn't bring down the quick settings or even the side buttons would not work, all i could do was just turn off the screen. So if somebody can tell me what i did, what happened, and maybe a link or explanation of how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
Did you flash the sense 4 version or sense 3.6 version of bt audio

your talking bout the beats audio app in playstore? which required rooted device?? happen to me also :/ go to the bootloader (do a battery pull then press power button + volume down button) and do a factory reset it should be okay then if you have a recovery take a backup of your sd card from pc it'll wipe of everything!

Im not sure, but Im positive it was because when it installed and i restarted my phone there was a huge difference in sound quality. So it must have been the 3.6 Sense version.

I have tried a factory reset already,When i do that i still get the same problem, just the top status bar shows and everything is just black. I have TeamWinRecovery tried the factory reset already and it says failed, so im going to try clock work mod. Also im trying to flash a new ROm to see if that will fix it, but Teamwin nor Clockwork recognize the zip file in my sd card. Ive renamed it multiple times to see if it will recognize it then.

i'd recommend 4ext try a factory rest from that if the problem still exist go to wipe format section and select format everything except sd card and flash a stock gb rom everything will be okay by then if your S ON enable smart flash on 4ext which is under tools category in the very bottom

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 -_-

I've been trying to root my EVO 4G LTE using various guides from this board, and I'm not having a lot of luck. I have HBOOT 2.09 and it's S-ON. It seems like the easiest way to root the device is to go S-OFF, but then it appears that the device needs to be rooted to get S-OFF. So I'm a little confused at this point. I've unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP, but when I try to install the SuperSU root utility it gives me an error about mounting partitions and fails. My bootloader screen also displays "TAMPERED" which seems to be a problem but I'm not having a lot of luck finding a way to resolve it.
So... can anyone tell me what my next step is?
Thanks in advance.
Are you using Facepalm, Moonshine, or DirtyRacun? You haven't really provided enough details to help, at this point. What's your software version? I assume you're running the stock ROM?
I was running the stock ROM, I think it was 3.16. I tried using Facepalm but again it seems like it needs root to work which I haven't been able to achieve just yet. I tried installing the ROM from this thread through TWRP but it just hangs on the HTC screen so I'm not sure what's on there now. I can still get into the bootloader and recovery though.
You can't use Facepalm on 3.16 software. Use Moonshine.
Try flashing this stock rooted to get back to a working state: http://d-h.st/users/Captain_Throwback/?fld_id=10308#files
You may need to fastboot flash the boot.img to make sure it fully boots.
OK, I downloaded that ROM and extracted the boot.img. I booted the phone into the bootloader and ran "fastboot flash boot boot.img". It seems to have completed correctly, no errors at least, but now the phone just sits at the HTC screen with the red text at the bottom. Clearly I'm doing something wrong...
Did you flash the ROM too? Or did it reboot on you when you tried?
I just did the boot.img. Should I also do "fastboot flash zip 3.16.651.3_stock_rooted_odex_CPTB.zip"?

You have to flash the ROM in recovery.
Ok, so I went into recovery which is still TWRP, adb pushed that ROM to the phone then tried to install it. It gives a bunch of error messages about being unable to mount various items, says it's unable to find path for partition [name of the zip] and fails.
Thanks for your help and patience so far...
You do not extract the file, leave it as a zip and do not open it. Move it to your SD card while in fastboot (mount sd) and from there use twrp and select the correct zip to flash. But above all... DO NOT EXTRACT THE FILR

I don't understand what you're doing here. Boot to recovery, mount storage, copy the ROM zip over, and then flash it.
Ok, so I mounted storage from recovery, or least I tried to, my PC said it needed to be formatted. So I did so, copied the file over and flashed it which completed successfully this time. My phone now boots properly, I'll give Moonshine a try now. Hopefully I won't need to bug you again, thanks for all the help.

I'm having a little trouble with Moonshine. It reboots the phone a couple of times, gets to step 3 then just keeps printing periods in the program window. I've been reading through the Moonshine thread and it seems other people have had the same problem, but I haven't seen a solid fix yet. Anyone know what I need to do or should I stick with the Moonshine thread?
