[Q] amaze showing no signal - HTC Amaze 4G

hi,
well, my amaze was running very smooth.. i was using super sense and all was good, i decided to flash the source build pacman,after flashing the ROM i didn't get any good battery so i flash viper 1.6.7 because of its great battery life... after booting the ROM i just realize that my phone is not showing any network signals... after messing with it for some time i decided to start from the scratch so i downloaded RUBY_ICS_35_S_TMOUS_2.14.531.3_R2_Radio_1.14.550L.17DC_30.78.550L.15_release_262141_signed_13.zip, renamed it ph85img,put it to the root of my ext sd card, pulled my battery and rebooted it into the boot loader, fastboot auto detect it and started flashing, after the update phone still was not showing any signals, but when i activate and deactivate airplane mode, signals just came from nowhere just for 10 seconds and then got vanished, i flashed recovery and then rooted my phone and again flash viper ver 1.7.1 but the result is still the same... on/off airplane works but only for 10 seconds...i also cleaned out the back antenna connectors but no luck... :crying:
i am so confused right now as i do not know what is the problem ...is this somewhat related to the radio? i don't know . .
i hope you guys will help me to find out and solve this problem..
i have unlocked bootloader, s-off, supercid, 4ext recovery, any my hboot version is 1.93.2222..
please help me guys... and sorry for my bad english..

Can you try and flash PACman, and see if the IMEI gets restored? If it doesn't, flash Super Sense again. Hopefully that will restore it. :good:
Unfortunately, flashing does go wrong sometimes. It is definitely possible to lose an IMEI, but you *could* get it back if you retrace your steps! Some guy lost his IMEI because of Google Talk, but got it back by retracing his steps on another thread.

Wow I didn't know you guys were camping out waiting for me.
If it DOESN'T work, then you should bring it back to bone stock by flashing a RUU, hide the "Re-locked" status by using scotty's mod bureied in the dev section, and send it to HTC for repairs, or claim warranty.
Sometimes flashing random ROMs *may restore it, but that might be unlikely. Good luck! :fingers-crossed:

If everything fails, go back to bone stock and flash the RUU.
If that fails, you may need to call your carrier, or send it to a HTC repair center.

Use the T-mobile one, since it's the most used. If there was an international RUU, that'd be great, but there isn't, unfortunately.

Yes just flash it. I can't guarantee anything though because nobody ever found a cure for IMEI's being erased on the amaze. But on the s3, odining to stock usually fixed it.

bootloader detected it, started to loading it and then parsing and then came back to normal...didn't flash it, i am supercid and s-off, do i have to relock bootloader in order to flash this OTA?

You might have to.
Look up a fastboot tutorial, you will need to type in "fastboot oem lock" using command prompt in the sdk folder. You should look up a tutorial or guide on how to do this because it's going to take too long to explain in one thread.
Once your boot loader is relocked, proceed to the RUU. If this ruu fails to restore signal, I'm out of ideas. Sorry @carbon_guy.

Try fixing permissions and rebooting always works for me. If it doesnt works maybe its the rom u are using cheq on its tread for buggs and fixes
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA
if you keep having problems you can always just flash one of the RUUs and start the unlock process over.
Busybox won't install if you don't have superuser, re-root via hasoon's tool then try installing busybox, the wifi issue on the other hand is gonna require you to most likely flash back a stock RUU, or just try flashing any rom, see if that solves it.
relock the bootloader.
Backup the microSD card
Put the stock rom on the root folder of the SD card.
reboot into bootloader and let it install the stock rom. (it will erase the SD card i think).
Then re-root/re-unlock bootloader....flash away

I have superuser and root access confirmed with a root checker. I can't get any roms to install nor can I find good directions to flashing an ruu. Does flashing an ruu bring you back to stock?

Yes, flashing a ruu restores everything to complete stock, try rooting again, then install busybox, after that, get 4EXT recovery, should be able to install any rom from then.

Power off your device, hold the volume down button and power it on, when it ask if you wanna update, press the volume up button, let it install, it should reboot when it's done.

Unlocked or not doesn't matter, just leave it unlocked.

is anyone unlocked and rooted,yet running STOCK recovery?

im trying to help a user restore a stock t mobile phone. weve tried the recovery linked inthe regular one and t mobile sections(both images are md5 04541031ee82ab95598b3cfbd019ad9c)
we need someone who is unlocked and rooted,yet not permantly flashed recovery to dump the stock one for us. you can simply boot recovery(fastboot boot recovery.img) and make a nandroid,then extract the recovery image,or within the booted OS you can :
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p34 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p34
then when its finished,
exit
exit
adb pull /sdcard/mmcblk0p34
the image will be in your adb/fastboot folder to upload.
reply,or shoot me a PM if you can be of assistance. again- you must have the STOCK reovery installed,and be using a t mobile usa device.
thanks

thanks very much for the info.
sorry about your sd card. i had no idea that would happen or i would have warned you. seems tho lots of things cause the internal sd to be wiped- ive noticed runnign RUUs has this affect also. if this is a fluke i hope they fix it. if its not its a feature i dont care for.
did you try relocking and doing a factory reset? (both of those will wipe your sd ) i think of putting the stock recovery back is to make tampered go away,those things may be needed.
if you dont want the hassle of relocking and factory reset right now,i competely understand. if anyone else tries it please report and thanks again for flashing for us. it did flash back an apparently working,functional stock recovery,correct?

pretty much anyones nandroid is going to be after unlock,not much way around that. if the missing apps and such are a factor,sounds like we may need to find a way to put them back. or a stinkin RUU
im fairly certain that in your case,tampered stayed becasue the phone did not recognize the stock recovery as its own. for all practical purposes,it could have been CW to the phone
but its quite possible that banner will stay regaurdless what we do,short of running a full ruu(wich will put back the missing apps and such)
Thanks for this!
Alright, I have a problem. I unlocked my bootloader, rooted, and had twrp installed. I've flashed back to a stock unrooted T-Mobile .7 ROM. I locked the bootloader just fine.
I cannot update with the latest t-mobile OTA. It boots me back to the bootloader with a Security Warning. I've tried to flash the recovery.img listed in the thread, but it just keeps giving me a signature verify fail.
All I want to do is get this thing back to OTA'ness.

[SOLVED] [Q] VZW Max Won't Connect to PC but charges/constant reboots

I have a vzw max and i recently reverted everything back to stock and unrooted; or so i believed. The kernel still says 3.4.10 etc. and the phone has no signal nor can it find my location. It keeps rebooting every 30 secs or so and no matter what mode I put the device into, it isn't recognized by my PC. the bootloader is locked and I am S-Off. This all happened after I tried to flash CWM's HTC M7 recovery because the Max isn't listed and I couldn't figure out how to flash TWRP. Help please because this is getting crazy and I can't figure out what to do...

dude i feel for you.
why did you put m7 cwm on there. clearly not for this device.
can you still get to bootloader? if you can flash the correct recovery! then find a backup someone has done and restore. or flash the correct boot.img
dude here's the correct recovery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498749
Well the only problem is my any pc won't even detect that it's connected when I plug it into it. So I can't use any fastboot or adb methods and even when I put the phone into fastboot mode it doesn't connect either. I'm able to put it into bootloader mode and it doesn't reset but still no connection; just charges. I've tried flashing through stock recovery manually and it aborts every attempt I'm assuming because my BL is locked..
No it doesn't

I wasn't trying to hide anything. I typically will walk a user through using the encrypted RUU (my person preference as i know it's intact) to restore their phone as long as it can boot to bootloader. I take it offline because the mods didn't take kindly to the encrypted RUU being posted in the past. I don't have an answer as to why that was case so I just keep that part off the main threads. If its someone in need (like the OP) i have no problem helping one on one.

I take it offline because the mods didn't take kindly to the encrypted RUU being posted in the past. I don't have an answer as to why that was case so I just keep that part off the main threads. If its someone in need (like the OP) i have no problem helping one on one.

It's cool, I didn't mean it to sound like anything was being hidden, I just like to read all this stuff and take it in for future reference as I don't want to bother you guys unless I just cannot figure it out on my own. Believe me i really appreciate all you guys do on here as this is an invaluable resource if people take the time to read through things. I was unaware that they didn't want the RUU's on here which really sucks because they are nice to have like I had them for the rezound and it came in real handy at times. Not having them for this device yet has been one of the reasons I have been hesitant to do much else than to S-OFF and root. At this point I guess I am waiting for the OTA Kit Kat update then I will probably dive in.

[Q] Trouble! With my M8

well, my first problem is I should have checked to make sure I have root. I'm really not sure at this point. I do have the phone unlocked via HTC. I then downloaded SuperU. I am also running TWRP, and can manage to get there occasionally. I have tried side loading and was successful with a couple of roms but they won't work right. I keep getting the error that the sustem UI has crashed. I'd like to get the originall RUU, flash it somehow, and start all over. Can somebody please help. I'm pretty good at this, and this is the first problem of this sort I have ever had. Thanks - Larry
There is no RUU, can flash a stock nand backup located on the forums thats about as close as your gonna get to an RUU

Help Needed with Sense 6 OTA update

I've unlocked my bootloader, rooted and installed CWM custom recovery. Not surprisingly the Sense 6 update will download but it won't install. I tried to flash it manually with CWM but that won't work either. Again, no surprise.
Is there a workaround that I can use to install the Sense 6 update?

Yes, you need the stock recovery not custom recovery to install the ota plus stock rom installed.

Ok, I flashed stock recovery and the update looked like it was going to install but it failed about a third of the way through and gave me a red triangle. I rebooted and fortunately the phone is still working. I tried installing the update a second time with the same result. Any ideas?

You have to have a pure stock rom. You may have to nandroid a stock or RUU but you have to decide that, but it have to be stock not root or any system file edits. Sorry, missed the bootloader need to be locked.

My rom is stock (Telstra Australia) but I've installed a few Xposed mods. If I do a factory reset I'm assuming that will take the rom back to stock. If I then remove root and relock the bootloader will I then be ok to flash the Sense 6 update?
Mate, I'm having same issue, Telstra Australia.
Check out his thread. I think you need to save three files that get wiped when you unlock bootloader. The update looks for them. I'm still trying to get it to work.

Thanks. I tried the 3 files thing and it didn't work for me probably because the bootloader was still unlocked. I got sick of dicking around with it and decided to try to get S-off which I'd been having trouble achieving with Hboot 2.49. Finally got S-off and then flashed this.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53890999
Cheers.

Which method did you use to gain s-off? I couldn't get it to work.

Nothing was working for me and I'd almost given up but I was pointed to this.... http://firewater-soff.com/instructions/
I was already rooted but for some reason the first method wouldn't work for me. ADB is very new to me so I may have done something wrong even though I tried it a couple of times. I used the second method but didn't use temproot cause I figured as I was already rooted I didn't need it. When I used the commands in the second method S-off was achieved.
The rom I mentioned above looks really good btw.

Yeah it does look pretty slick. Wasn't sure about the large icons through. I watched a review on youtube. Looked a little strange...

Not sure what you are referring to there. I didn't see anything overly large. Was that on the stock launcher? I'm using Apex.
When the OTA update fails and you get the red triangle, have you tried holding the vol up button then pushing the power button?
This should take you to stock recovery and you can see why the update failed...
Might give you a point to work from.

No I didn't do that. I'm on a custom recovery and custom rom now though.
I'm all back to stock with the three files saved. Just waiting for the OTA update to download now.
I'll let you know if it works.
So what's the sense 6 camera app like? I have never really been happy with the camera on the max.

I haven't had a really good look at it but I don't like the fact that you have to tap a button before you choose video. On the old app both camera and video were one tap away. Now if you aren't in video already it's 2 taps.

I ended up getting this to work....
When you save the three files that are missing with a root file manager, you have to save them to \data\preload NOT system\data\preload
Worked a treat after I did this:good:
How did you get firewater to work?
I keep getting a kernel error. It says that my kernel has a anti firewater patch. Very frustrating i just want to be able to lock my bootloader so my finger print scanner works properly again.

That's interesting what you say about the 3 files. Now I know why it wouldn't work for me. Regarding Firewater I just followed the instructions in the link I posted earlier.
I've actually reverted to a Nandroid of my stock Sense 5.5 rom. I like it better than Sense 6.
