1. Its locked. Trust me.
2. Go to carloswii5's thread and follow the steps. Go HERE
3. We have a port, and yes you need to unlock bootloader. Cm10.1 for 769 HERE

It doesn't? Then I'm sorry but I know that there's a way to open the boot loader by flashing an P760 kdz then open bootloader then flash back but I think that made the screen mirror all the time.

What is the most recent root method for this phone? I've read and read and I'm getting really frustrated with this. Can someone just give me a link to a root method that isn't a pain in the ass and that works. HTCdev doesn't work. I would appreciate it so much!

Actually one other question. Do I need to s off first? Or unlock the boot loader first?

Moonshine will root, unlock bootloader, and s-off. All you need is to be on firmware version 2.06 or 2.07.

I'm actually trying to root 2 DNA's, and I've successfully rooted 1, but the other is still causing problems. All the software versions and everything in about phone are exactly the same on both phones, but mine is causing problems -_- anyway, how do I flash TWRP recovery now? I apologize guys, I'm not familiar with HTC's at all, I'm used to Samsung. I've rooted, unlocked and installed custom recoveries on Note II's and S III's in like 10 minutes top.

The next step is to flash a Jelly Bean compatible custom recovery and then flash Superuser .zip in recovery to gain root accessing. For a full overview of the process I would recommend taking a look at this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2316662.

Trying to root unlock bootloader for friend's phone...everything was going smooth had unlocked BL rooted and installed twrp which I've read isn't ideal. So tried to flash cm 11 with gaps thru twrp but like a dummy wiped everything without doing nandroid backup and flash failed...on twrp screen but I guess I've lost stock. What to do now? I found the stock firmware for telus...sorry I'm new to this phone any help would be appreciated thx
edit: is there an odin or rsd lite like tool to flash stock roms? or is hassoon's tool the only answer. really would appreciate some help...thx again

ics 4.0.3 with telus...i used windroid to reflash clockwork mode recovery over twrp and worked. i just flashed the most recent cm10 from cm site and its booting as we speak. fingers crossed...lol
still booting on cyanmod...i suspect should take a while or do i have to reinstall? do a format system prior?

I'm assuming you're not S-OFF or SuperCID.
Hmmmm... Okay here's what to do I need you to follow these exact steps.
Extract the CM10 rom to it's own folder
Take the boot.img and place it in the windroid kernel folder (assuming that there's a kernel folder)
Open the windroid tool and select "Flash Kernel" and select the boot.img from the rom.
Now follow the instructions (I think you have to be in fastboot mode, I'm not sure.)
I think this procedure is right, I'm not entirely sure. I haven't had this problem in almost a year, since I decided to get S-OFF and SuperCID.
OK...the boot animation for cm is still going 2 hrs+ probably the recovery isn't right though no? Flashed last cm official with 5.0.2.9. I'll do as u suggested the for your input. And no idea for s-off sorry this phone is foreign to me

It won't boot, it's stuck in a bootloop because you haven't done S-OFF or SuperCID. It's what makes the custom roms work.
Please try my suggestion. And performing S-OFF is really not that hard, it's very very easy. Although most times I know that it's done on the Asian or Unbranded version of the Amaze that's stuck on GB.
Your recovery is fine, I can assure you that. Only KitKat roms require 4ext version 6 to flash properly.
Another idea just popped into my head, go into your recovery and enter the advanced settings, scroll down and you should see something called "Smartflash"
Make sure that this is enabled.
Do a full wipe (factory reset>cache>dalvik>all partitions except SD card) and then re-install your CM10.
Ok...thanks again for taking the time to help. I know it can be frustrating if the same probably basic issue comes up but phones do vary. Learned something new

Well you see this isn't the same exact problem that everybody else has, ultimately it's the same cause but like you said, it varies.
You're on ICS, from Telsus. Most of the people who create posts are from the Unbranded Amaze crying about their device being stuck in a bootloop or that their phone unexpectedly blew up and killed all their hopes and dreams.
I don't think there's much posts about Telsus Amaze, hopefully someone will see your post and know more than I do and provide more information.
Flash 4ext Touch Recovery from windroid tool.. turn on smart flash in 4ext, wipe all partitions except sdcard. Flash cm10/11 again. Reboot. Let me know how it goes.

Any kitkat Rom for amaze won't flash on twrp/cwm recovery since those recoveries are outdated and haven't been updated for our device. Since your device is S-ON with ICS Rom Telsus it just needs 4ext touch recovery with smart flash on. Kernel won't flash on cwm/twrp recovery with S-ON since there's no smart flash option in them that's why your phone was stuck in cm boot screen. Good thing you figured it out.

I didn't figure it out u guys did lol....by first flashing kernel with boot image of ROM worked for me. So now running jb with cwm 5.0.2.6. So just to be sure to put kk on what's safest procedure if you could...and again thank you both phew!!!
Sent from my RAZR HD using XDA Free mobile app
Read my previous posts if you need to flash a kitkat Rom, you just need 4ext recovery with smart flash turned on. That's the safest procedure. Good luck!

If you want to flash any KitKat Rom we have for the Amaze, you need the latest version of 4ext recovery.
I'm really not sure how S-On devices are prepared for this so hopefully just having smartflash on will work. If it gets stuck in the bootloop again, you can try flashing the boot.img and see if it boots up properly
Thx again guys...kitkat installed woohoo and didn't need to flash boot worked from install zip

First of all, I'm spanish, my apologizes of my expresions or misspelling.
That's what I've done:
1 - I've checked if my bootloader was unlockable, and my phone say's: NO
2 - Then I've installed the DualRecovery W/O root and with my phone bootlocked.
3 - Then I've tryed to flash CM11 in TWRP recovery, flashing first the Boot.img via fastboot.
4 - Device in Red Light.
What I can do to woke up my Z2? That's my record 2 hrs to **** my phone. :silly:
Firstly, it's stated in the first post of the CM11 thread that you shouldn't be using dual recovery. If you read the thread further, you'll see that it is recommended to use the recovery in DooMKernel to flash. And this requires unlocked bootloader.
Anyways, you can try using Flashtool to flash a stock firmware. Might be able to recover your phone.

If your BL is locked, you cannot install CM.... coz you cannot install a custom kernel. you should rebuild your phone using SEUS to put a good ROM.
Then you can put whatever ROM you want for LB and root it. but no custom kernel.

Hi there,
Is there any way to get root access without unlocking the bootloader. I found some ways in XDA but nothing is clear.
I would really appreciate if you guys can send me a link with a clear tutorial of how to get a new ROM without unlocking the bootloader.
I just got my Z2 which is sim locked (UK) and I can't unlock the bootloader from the official page.
Many thanks,

Yeah, working right now, then 3 questions more:
first: the phone comes with a Vodafone rom, I can put some "unbranded" rom? how?
second: I can't unlock my bootloader forever ??
and third: What is the function of recovery mode if I can't flash any cRom? Just backups?
Thanks all ^^

You can download a Generic FTF and use flashtool to flash it to your device
Once you unlock your bootloader it stays unlock till you relock
You can flash roms n manage general other stuff from recovery
