Hi there. So im a huge noob and could use an experienced persons help. I have this Amaze 4G that i unlocked bootloader for, had running Android 4.3 Evervolv rom and all was well. I then needed to sim unlock and the code didn't work and I read I needed to unroot and flash stock. I'm trying to do just that using Hasoons toolkit but can't get much help since the thread is closed. My HBOOT is 1.93.0002 and I try to do the Mainver Error fix and It says device not found. I definetly have the drivers updated as I had to go through all that just to have my device detected in fastboot. I wan't to flash stock Telus RUU. Can anyone please help me?
-Note I also accidentally relocked bootloader without downgrading or unrooting. I quickly unlocked it again, but my device was wiped so I can't boot into any rom. I only have 4EXT recovery and bootloader/fastboot available. I am S-on. Can anyone point me or describe a step by step process to get unrooted or and flashed to stock telus? I will gladly donate $$ for any helpful info as well!

First let's take things one step at a time. If s-on you should still be able to run any of the source built AOSP ROMs like evervolv, PAC, or CM. So if you want to get your handset up and running all you need to do is just push one into your SD card either in recovery or with an adaptor on your PC. Just download one of them to your PC. If you have adb working on it when you enable usb debugging in recovery you'll have access to both your internal SD partition and your SD card. Then just copy the zip to one of them. Then turn off the usb and flash the ROM as usual. Once your phone is back up and running you can read the threads to find out what you need to do the other things you want on your device.
I hope this helps

Thanks for the reply man! That's the thing i have a few issues. First off i can't mount storage via 4ext recovery it always just says failed. I also have no SD card to load a ROM onto. And even when i was up and running i couldn't unroot. I have the toolkit and every guide says to hit mainever fix but my device was never recognized even though i have all the drivers
In recovery format your internal SD then reboot back into recovery. This should allow you to at least be able to mount it. It's file system probably got corrupted while you were monkeying around. Then follow the instructions I posted above. This should at least get you back up and running. For the other procedures you're going to need an external SD card, because you won't be able to flash the factory image from your internal storage unless you're familiar with adb. I don't believe you can do the mainver fix until after s-off, but I'm not 100% on that since I'm s-on and never tried it. Once you're back up and running then we'll try to proceed with the other steps.
This isnt a big problem man if you have recovery you can doo any thing and do as odysseus says

Hi everyone, so this is my first post here so please deal with me. I did check for similar problems with no results and think I'm posting in the right area. So try not to get too frustrated with me if I'm wrong. Anyway, with all of that out of the way on to my problem.
I have a rooted rezound, which was first rooted to get rid of bloatware and such, but I decided I wanted to try out some different roms. My problem is every time I flash a rom, which appears successful, but whenever it boots up it'll freeze up on the HTC screen. To fix this I've been just been pulling the battery and restoring to the backup I made before trying to flash roms. I would really like to try some different roms but I've gotten stuck on that screen with each one I've tried. If anyone could help me I'd greatly appreciate it!
Some additional info: I use to have a rooted thunderbolt and have some experience with flashing roms and all that stuff, but I'd still consider myself a noob. I have Amon Ra Recovery on my rezound and the screen in hboot reads:
***Unlocked***
vigor put ship s-on rl

Oct 6 2011, 15:43:22
(I'm not sure why it says the incorrect date and time?)
I've tried several different things to successfully flash roms. I've tried flashing them with and without PH98IMG.zip on the root of my sd. I've tired it with and without the back on my phone. When flashing roms I ALWAYS wiped all data before flashing. That's just about everything relevant I can think of, sorry for the length! I figured the more information the easier for you guys to help!
If you're S-ON, you need to flash the P98IMG zip with the ROM. This contains the boot.img file.
Just extract the ROM of choice, take the P98IMG zip, throw it on your SD card and boot into your bootloader. Go into the bootloader menu and it'll install. Reboot, phone will work just fine.
If there isn't a P98IMG file and just a boot.img file, just push it through ADB while in your fastboot.
command is fastboot flash boot boot.img
So the P98IMG.zip file I downloaded and had on the root of my sd card is different than the one I need to extract from the rom or was I just not installing it right?
I did have a P98IMG.zip on the root of my sd card and I went into hboot, then I went to recovery and flashed my rom. Is there another step I need to take in installing the P98IMG.zip or should it automatically install? Do I need to reboot it between installing the P98IMG.zip and the rom?
Thanks for you help and quick response! I'm really trying to learn and get better at this stuff
After you flash your ROM, go into your bootloader (fully, must be in the bootloader menu) and it'll install. Follow the onscreen instructions, reboot, and remove the zip from your SD card.
Hope that helps.
I still cant get it to work :/
Heres step by step what I did:
1) Went into hboot > recovery
2) Wiped all data
3) Flashed ROM
4) Powered off phone using option in the recovery menu
5) Powered back on into hboot. The green text appeared that said loading and stuff about P98IMG and a blue bar on the side, but this process was very brief (maybe 2 seconds tops) and there were no instructions to follow
6) Went into recovery and rebooted my phone where I was stuck on the the HTC screen again
Can you point out where I'm going wrong or any possible issue?
Thanks again for you patience! I really appreciate your help!

How are you getting to recovery? It should give you an option to install update or reboot in hboot. If the ph98img is in the right spot you shouldn't be able to boot into recovery
With my phone powered off I'm holding down the power button and down volume button to get to hboot. I have my ROM and the PH98IMG.zip file both on the root of my SD card. It does very quickly appear to load the PH98IMG file but returns to the hboot screen the has the options: fastboot, recovery, factory reset, clear storage, sim lock, image crc.
Could it be that the PH98IMG file should be somewhere else? And was I doing everything in the correct order or do I install the PH98IMG first?
File may be bad. Do you have adb set up?

Well actually I'm running off a mac and I've been using my sisters laptop for adb and that stuff but she just broke it...just my luck haha. Would I be able to download a different copy of PH98IMG from online and try that?
What ph file are you trying to flash? It should load it and ask if you want to update. Try downloading it again. May be a bad download
I'm trying to flash the Senseless-4.0.3-ICS-v1.0.0[2/4/2012] ROM (http://themikmik.com/showthread.php?11238-Senseless-4-0-3-ICS-v1-0-0-2-4-2012&p=178493#post178493) and I just saw a download for the PH98IMG file somewhere else on the website. Should the ROM include its own PH98IMG file? Thanks for both of your help! I have no experience with the PH files because my thunderbolt was s-off so i never dealt with this stuff before.

So s-off. Seriously though. You flashed a random ph file and thought it would work? It has to be the right one for the rom. Besides that rom isn't maintained anymore
The only method to get the rezound to s-off was using some wire trick and seemed like a difficult process. Would you recommend I do that?
And the post with the ROM said and ICS PH file would be fine, so I assumed it'd work. I guess I'll try a different ROM that includes a specific PH file and up to date. In which case I should be able to get everything to work with all the help from you and Chyrux. Thanks for everything!

I would recommend getting s-off. It's going to be the only method for this phone. I mean why waste another exploit to be patched? I would recommend con rom since it uses aroma to detect whether your s-on or s-off
Did you s-off your rezound? How were your experiences with it? I'm just worried about bricking my phone. But thanks for the ROM recommendation! I've been trying to find a good ROM
S-off was fairly easy, but you do need Windows or a Linux build.
I am an unfortunate rookie, and have made mistakes, hence the name. I want to return my phone to stock from htcdev unlock, s-on, hboot 1.5. with a boot loop on meanom ICS for the evo 3d. I have tried to use older ruu shooters. Relock with fastbot oem lock, and then pg86img. However with the bootloop I can not access anything unless I unlock again, and then go into recovery. This is all that I can think of at the moment that might help.
Kill the rookie!!! PLEASE HELP!!
I had much the same problem with my cdma, hboot 1.5, S-On shooter. When I was S-On none of the ICS roms would work. The all bootlooped on me. If you follow the rooting method found here on xda, it will get you back to a stock Rooted GB Rom.
go into hboot -> fastboot USB-> run command dos -> fastboot cwm-4.0.1.4-shooter.IMG -> flash the 2.17 firmware-> enjoy.
I had to S-off with Juopunutbear, then re-run that root/flash to get past the bootloops.

My only suggestion would be to try it a few times, other then that, its above my head.

Have you tried one of the ruu exe files that you run from your computer? If you are trying to go stock, you should be able to relock the bootloader and run the ruu and that's it.
Sent from my ICS 3VO with Tapatalk 2
First of all I want to thank everyone that has been attempting to assist me with my problem. I have tried to relock since I am on htcdev unlock and then run an ruu force via my computer. I get an installation aborted error when trying to flash pg86img via recovery. I don't know what else to say.
You can't flash a bootloader zip from recovery. You have to flash it from hboot. Also make sure the zip is named correctly "PG86IMG.zip" without the quotes. Also make sure the zip is on the root of your sd as in not in any folders. Once you've named the zip correctly and placed it correctly then power off the phone. Hold down the volume down button and tap the power button. You should boot into the bootloader wait until the phone recognizes the zip and follow the on screen instructions. Hopefully this helps.

Thank you again. I tried your directions, it did recognize the pg86img. However it did not give me any instructions to follow. It did however allow me to be able to a partial stock state. My software version is still on the teamgenesis sense v2.9 cdma. Although I do like some of the features on this rom, I would still like to be able to get the OTA of ICS when it is released. Any suggestions?

To get the ota release (if it ever comes ) I do believe you will need to be locked and running the existing gingerbread rom. While I am not positive, I think the system uses the props file to determine if an update is applicable, and it will likely not recognize the teamgenesis rom version as being upgradeable.
Now I will likely get flames for saying this, but if you want to put the meanrom v2.4 of ICS on the phone, it can be done with s-on, you just need to follow the correct process. I ran that rom for a while, and it is very stock like, stable, and has a few enhancements that you will not find on a non-rooted stock rom. I never found anything wrong or not working with that rom.
To get it to load, first I downloaded flashimagegui from market, put the meanrom zip file on the sd card and made sure I had a recovery that I could get into. I am using TWRP v2.1.1, lots of folks talk about others like ext4, and I am only going to say use whichever you like, after all it is your phone.
Then with the phone unlocked via the htc method, I started the flashimage app, and browsed to the meanrom file. It extracted the kernel and flashed it. Once that was done, with clear cache buttons selected, rebooted to recovery, and used the install menu selection of TWRP to again flash the same rom file. Once it flashed the file, selected clear cache and dalvik just to be safe, selected reboot system, and it worked great.
Have a great weekend.
So, apparently I am still doing something wrong. I have put the pg86img on the root, relocked to the bootloader, and let it run it's course. However, it will get through with reading it and stops and does not finish anything with loading the system information. I have also tried to run the ruu via usb connection. I keep running into a c++ issue saying runtime error. I have wiped everything and thankfully I did make a backup of the rom and other information that I was runing so I can currently fall back on that.
I am on hboot 1.5, 2.17, and teamgenesis ICS rom for evo 3d.
Apparently there have been rumors that Sprint has finally released the ICS OTA, not that it really matters anymore, but I have run into a few interesting glitches, such as WIFI not staying connected while asleep or disconnecting.
If I have to I am willing to pay to do a netmeeing with someone in order to be able to fix this.
Sorry if it sounds like I am getting frustrated, but I have tried every walkthrough that I have found and have not had any luck with any of them.
Please help.
I forgot to say I am s-on
I was trying to root and update my wife's rezound, and I'm out of my league with my first HTC root. I unlocked and rooted the phone, then tried to flash a rom, didn't work, tried to use the all-in-one tool and got to the script in the command window that required the wire trick, wasn't ready for that. Tried to back out and now it just boots into a screen that says juopenutbear. I can get into HBoot and have fastboot usb up. I have relocked the bootloader in an attempt to get somewhere, and I think I have completely wiped the sd card.
Can anyone help me with even just the next step to fixing this? Is it using an RUU .exe from the pc? Is there some way to access the sdcard i'm not thinking of?
Thanks for any help, i'm staying up all night so that my wife might be able to use the phone in the morning.
It sounds like you need to flash the boot image from the rom you were on before you tried to s-off. Hopefully, you put it in your directory with adb and fastboot before starting to s-off. If not, you need to get it, put it in that directory and flash it.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
Jbear replaces the kernel, until it is done.
If finding and flashing a kernel sounds too complicated, then yes RUU will also put everything including the kernel back.
If S-ON then
you will need to relock the bootloader before installing the RUU. Also you can not RUU to previous older versions.
PS RUU will wipe your settings and internal SD, but should leave the removable. MicroSD card alone.
Go here and following the steps under ROM/Data recovery.
http://unlimited.io/jbtroubleshooting.htm
Hello. So I've tried multiple times flashing ROMs to my device, and have always had problems somewhere along the line. The furthest I got was successfully flashing this ROM, but it ended up in a boot loop. I believed it was due to my device being S-ON, even though I've successfully rooted and unlocked my bootloader via HTCdev and thus I've been attempting to get S-OFF. I tried JuopunutBear but got an error message related to checking my adb and fastboot drivers (Which I'm fairly sure are up to date and working) and I think the problem is I am on HBOOT 1.57. I've been attempting to downgrade using this guide (Which uses Revolutionary to get S-OFF in which case I wouldn't need JuopunutBear). I only got a bit of the way in, however, before I got stuck. After relocking my device it tells you to put the RUU zip on your device, but my computer isn't detecting my device and I'm stuck in the bootloader. I've tried shutting it off, trying all the options in the bootloader, taking out the battery, entering commands into adb, and probably some other things I've forgot, but I'm still stuck on the bootloader and my device isn't detected at all on my computer (Either in command prompt or in the explorer window).
Essentially what I'm asking here is:
How do I get my phone unstuck from bootloader?
Do I need S-OFF to be able to flash ROMs?
If I don't need S-OFF, what was I doing wrong? Should I try a different ROM?
And I suppose I may as well ask if that's a worthwhile ROM. I want something that optimizes my device and allows for custom themes, but otherwise I'm not too picky.
Specs:
Windows Vista (With ADB and fastboot, as well as HTC Sync and other phone drivers. Essentially I think I have all the software I'd need installed.)
HTC EVO 3D CDMA with Virgin Mobile as the carrier.
HTCdev unlocked bootloader
S-ON
HBOOT 1.57
Stock ROM
4ext recovery
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!
(Also I apologize if I didn't give all the information needed or if I posted this in the incorrect spot. I figured this would be the most appropriate spot since although I have issues with specific processes it's also a fairly general request for help.)
UPDATE: I tried re-unlocking my phone using HTCdev so I'm no longer stuck in bootloader. I'm going to be trying the HBOOT Downgrade Toolkit guide again sometime today or tomorrow to see if I can get it working. I think one of the problems before was that I didn't put the RUU on the sdcard beforehand and then my device wasn't being recognized so i couldn't put it there then. If I put it on beforehand I should be able to update successfully and get past the step I was stuck on before.

It will be your hboot causing the problems.
Most recoveries allow you to mount usb storage so you can use that option to connect to your pc and move the ruu across without removing your sdcard etc.

Hi I am new to Android. I bought an HTC Amaze 4G by T-Mobiles.
I was playing with the device just to get familiar with options and settings. Made recovery tried a few custome roms and recovered the stock rom twice. Somehow i messed up and bricked my phone (not sure exectly what i did exectly).
Now i when i boot the phone i get stuck on the HTC logo. When i go to recovery mood i goes to the twrp options but i cant flash rom from sd card because it gives me "unable to mount internal storage error". I do perform the 4 wipes before flashing.
The worst thing is i cant even connect it to the PC via usb although i have all the drivers up to date.
PC doesnot recognize the device.
What option do I have before throwing this device into the distbin and get a new one? Will have to ask my dad for extra pocjet money
Please someone tell me the detailed steps as i am not that familiar with all the technical words used in Android world.
Thanks in advance

First off, if you're a newbie why didn't you take the time to read through the threads and familiarize yourself with the device before flashing? Where are you located? Are you sure it's a T-Mobile version Amaze and not an unbranded or Asian version? Are you S-off or S-on? Which ROM were you flashing when things went haywire? Why are you using TWRP when the recovery recommended by most devs here is 4ext with smart-flash enabled?
You've had a bad flash and now recovery is no longer recognizing or mounting your SD partitions, so it's booting into safe mode. You aren't going to be able to use your recovery since safe mode won't flash all of the partitions you need to recover your backup. You're going to need to establish a USB connection and using ADB or the amaze toolkit (which is a GUI for some ADB commands) take control of your device and either push a recovery image or set things up back to stock and start over.
To solve your issue look and read the various "pinned" threads at the top of the forums. The easiest way to recover from this is to go back to the factory image. In one of pinned threads is a link to a page with the stock image downloads. You need the correct one for your device (which is why I asked if you're sure it's T-Mobile). If you flash the wrong image you'll brick your phone. You need to HTC-dev relock your bootloader to flash (s-on or s-off doesn't matter). Do so with the toolkit or using appropriate ADB commands. Once you're relocked and sure as to which device you have, place the image in the root of your SD-card and flash from hboot in the bootloader. When the process is finished you'll have the device returned to factory stock. Then you have to re-unlock the bootloader again and reroot to flash other ROMs.
I hope this helps.

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 button. it will prompt you to install, select yes

I see you're s-off from the photos. I've already explained how to recover. You need to download the correct factory image for your device and place it in the root of your external SD card, relock your bootloader,then flash via hboot in your bootloader. Then afterwards you'll be back to stock again. You'll have to accept the OTAs to get back the latest radio Then you can unlock and reroot again. This time use 4ext instead of TWRP. You should be good to go.

First off, if you're a newbie why didn't you take the time to read through the threads and familiarize yourself with the device before flashing? Where are you located? Are you sure it's a T-Mobile version Amaze and not an unbranded or Asian version? Are you S-off or S-on? Which ROM were you flashing when things went haywire? Why are you using TWRP when the recovery recommended by most devs here is 4ext with smart-flash enabled?
You've had a bad flash and now recovery is no longer recognizing or mounting your SD partitions, so it's booting into safe mode. You aren't going to be able to use your recovery since safe mode won't flash all of the partitions you need to recover your backup. You're going to need to establish a USB connection and using ADB or the amaze toolkit (which is a GUI for some ADB commands) take control of your device and either push a recovery image or set things up back to stock and start over.
To solve your issue look and read the various "pinned" threads at the top of the forums. The easiest way to recover from this is to go back to the factory image. In one of pinned threads is a link to a page with the stock image downloads. You need the correct one for your device (which is why I asked if you're sure it's T-Mobile). If you flash the wrong image you'll brick your phone. You need to HTC-dev relock your bootloader to flash (s-on or s-off doesn't matter). Do so with the toolkit or using appropriate ADB commands. Once you're relocked and sure as to which device you have, place the image in the root of your SD-card and flash from hboot in the bootloader. When the process is finished you'll have the device returned to factory stock. Then you have to re-unlock the bootloader again and reroot to flash other ROMs.
I hope this helps.

I see you're s-off from the photos. I've already explained how to recover. You need to download the correct factory image for your device and place it in the root of your external SD card, relock your bootloader,then flash via hboot in your bootloader. Then afterwards you'll be back to stock again. You'll have to accept the OTAs to get back the latest radio Then you can unlock and reroot again. This time use 4ext instead of TWRP. You should be good to go.

Thank you very much. will surely give it a try. will post the result here
I don't know if it was mentioned, but you can always pull the external sdcard and put it in a card reader and copy files from the computer to it.
Then you can boot to bootloader and flash your ph85img.zip
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda app-developers app

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 button. it will prompt you to install, select yes

That worked perfectly Man! just downloaded the image and renamed it to PH85IMG.zip and entered bootloader by pressing power+volume down button. it scanned the SD card and started the update automatically with the above zip file. waited for 10 mins and my mobile came to life again I wish i could hit the like button at least twice

You need to check your devices Forum and also check out the TWRP thread there as well.
This is the HTC Amaze forum and it's been dead for some time now...
