Hello, so basically today after owning my HTC Amaze for an year i decided to root it and install a ROM and it got stuck. I AM REALLY SCARED. MY PARENTS WILL KILL ME IF THEY FIND OUT PLEASE HEELPPP. The HTC logo appears for 5 secs then black screen for another 5
I used this thread to root my htc amaze :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426377
i followed all the steps EXACTLY as said till the point where it says "From here you can flash your custom rom or root files." in step #4 and all was going well. At that point i wanted a custom rom
after this i tried using the energy rom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362759
i downloaded the file given here as Amaze.Stock.Kernel.Flasher.zip , unzipped this file and ran the file flash.bat with my phone connected through USB . After this my phone rebooted and got stuck in a boot loop, so i thought that i should continue and was hoping that maybe it gets fixed. The version given in his thread is of ICS, since i had GB i searched the thread and got a link to a file named "energy.3.10.2012.stock.kernel.amaze.zip" the GB version of this rom. So i downloaded it, went into recovery and installed this from my external SD card. The boot loop problem still persisted. So then i tried the FACTORY RESET in the HBOOT options and still there was no luck
I tried searching the threads and went through some terms like flashing RUU and relocking my bootloader. I DO NOT know what any of these are... so i don't want to create anymore problems for myself
I own the unbranded asian version, i think.
This is what it says in my HBOOT

hi xda community i just bout this thunderbolt yesterday from some guy for cheap cuz he said it only makes it to the white htc screen i thought i would be able to fix it by now but i guess its beyond me.
i dont know how it got to this point i do know it has s-on and i can access fastboot however when i select recovery or factory reset it goes directly to the htc white screen and bootloops until it dies. also charging is very difficult like this takes me about 30 mins just to get into fastboot cuz i have to keep messing with it.
any and all help would greatly be appreciated. thanks.
Sounds like there may still be an PG05IMG on the sdcard?
Since you have no clue what has been done, I would flash an RUU to get back to stock and move forward from there.
Take your SDcard out and format it. Download a recent RUU, a quick google search will find you the file. Rename the file exactly to PG05IMG.zip and place it on the root of the SDcard. Boot into Hboot and it should automatically detect the zip and go forward from there. In case you were not aware, you boot into Hboot by holding volume down and power to turn the phone on.
Make sure you get the battery charged up a bit before you try this.
I JUST TRYED DOING THAT RIGHT NOW BUT IT SAYS SOMETHING ABOUT THE VERSION IS OLDER PRESS POWER TO REBOOT SO I GUESS THE VERSION I WAS FLASHING IS OLDER THEN WHAT IT ALREADY HAS. IM DOWNLOADING WHAT I THINK IS THE NEWEST ONE RIGHTNOW BUT IT ENDS IN .EXE
NOT SURE WHAT TO DO WITH THAT. ITS THIS ONE...
RUU_Mecha_GINGERBREAD_S_VERIZON_WWE_2.11.605.5_Radio_0.01.78.0906w_2__NV_8K_1.41_9K_1.64_release_219938_signed.exe
THE ONE THAT I TRIED TO FLASH IN HBOOT WAS THIS ONE...
PG05IMG_Mecha_VERIZON_WWE_1.10.605.3_Radio_1.15.00.0128w_3_NV_8K_1.39_9K_1.61_release_170484_signed.zip (THIS ONE GAVE ME THE ERROR ABOUT VERSION TOO OLD)
SORRY BOUT CAPS DONT KNOW WHAT I WAS THINKING.
Also forgot to mention it says LOCKED in the top of hboot
Update: update process started but hangs at step 7 mdm9k just says updating... So frustrating.
Help me please.

Try flashing this. Rename PG05IMG.zip

I tryed that one last night too. Same results just hangs.
Do you guys think im bricked?
Not sure if this will work.....maybe try getting s-off and rooting it???use revolutionary.
i think i have to use adb for that and i cannot get into the rom at all just the white htc screen of death. so i cant enable usb debugging.
Try this rom. Its the latest stock gingerbread rom minus the mdm9k.img file and should bypass that during install in hboot. I cannot say this will work if the current mdm9k partition is messed up, but it is worth a shot. hope this helps.

Just tried to flash with hboot got to checking.... But never asked me if I wanted to install the update.
I have one other idea. However I wont be able to get the new file uploaded till later tonight.
No prob thanks for your help ill be checking later then.
Ok, same file as last time. no mdm9k.img file so it should bypass (hypothetically). It should have the HTC security header included to allow the flash. Not sure if it will, since the method I used is experimental. It just wont pass security check and the update wont continue if it doesn't work.

cool im downloading now...
update: nope. once again didn't ask me if i wanted to install update
Hmm, at the moment I am out of ideas. What have you tried via fastboot? Being s-on I know your options are limited, but it's worth asking or investigating.
i'v tried everything i can think of so far i haven't found many ruu that even ask me if i want to install the update and the ones that do ask me all hang during the the same step. at this point i am desperate ill try any file anyone throws at me so let me know what you have. S-on SUCKS.
So what happens when you do try and run an RUU.exe say the 2.11.605.5 stock RUU?
At a certain point the program will drop your phone into fastboot recovery where it does the flashing. This may sound like a dumb question, but has it been able to get to that point? If I am understanding you, you are able to get the phone to boot into bootloader and fastboot. Which I assume you can send commands via adb fastboot?
***LOCKED*** On Bootloader
Hello All,
First of all thanks for the awesome easy guide !!
This is the first time I am rooting my HTC Tbolt and have had an issue to start with.
Used the instructions in the link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1401959
After I download the 2.11.605.5 downgrade zip, I rename it, put in on the SD Card and go to HBOOT and it installs the downgrade just fine.
But at the end of this process, when I try to get the MR4 Radio onto the SD Card and install it, it simply does not happen. HBoot checks for the file, finds it, but nothing happens. I have renamed in properly and followed instructions to the dot.
I also noticed a ***LOCKED*** right on top of the screen and I think this could be an issue.
Can I go ahead and proceed with the Revolutionary Root Technique ? Would this be possible at this point ?
Is there anyway I can get Flash the MR4 Radio before I actually root ?
Also, would I be able to flash the MR4 Radio onto my device after Rooting ?
Any help is much appreciated !
Thanks in advance !
Cheers !

Hello all, Ive lost several days to this now and have finally signed up to ask you all for help on "unbricking" my Evo3d.
Ive done so much i cant quite remember a full list, but alas my problem is essentialy i have deleted the OS on the phone and now every time i try to flash a .zip to the phone (i am using TWRP which seems to be working fine) it says FAILED and gives me an error whilst trying to find /cache.
So it appears my /cache folder has dissapeared aswell? The cure for this (from what i have read online) is to boot into your rom and then restart to bootloader, however there is no rom to boot into on the phone.
ALL I WANT IS STOCK.
Just to be able to use the phone again, before it was on 4.0.2 i think and even though i have S-ON i still tried to load a custom kernal and rom, this then obviousely put me into a bootloop which was ok, except i have no idea how to go back to stock.
I have tried several RUU files (at 400mb a pop) ALL of which fail and give me the error 155 unknown error during the installing on my computer.
I believe the image that the RUU.exe says my phone is was 3.*** (i cant remember exactly but if anyone needs to know i can boot it up again)
I have tried the RUU to return it to 1.21 or something similar but that also failed.
Seemingly i cant do anything with the phone and hours apon hours of googling is getting me no where.
Please help somebody it would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT- I can now no longer boot into recovery for an unknown reason, i tried another RUU it failed in exactly the same fashion, now i boot the phone and it loads a small picture of a phone with a green circle icon next to it, this then turns into a red triangle with a "!" inside of it, then i have to remove the battery.
Crap.
I think I have found why the RUU were not working, its because my bootloader was unlocked.
I have relocked my bootloader, ran the RUU and it has errored again except this time it says Customer ID number.
I presume this means the CID number on my phone is incorrect? Which would sort of make sense because i think i may have changed it at the very beginning whilst i was following a guide.
How on earth do i find out what to change it back to? I have no idea what the original was
EDIT-
************FIXED**************
Use the fastboot commands to change your CID to what is required (HTC or Vodafone) This must be done with unlocked bootloader.
LOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER
Run the RUU file that you wish to apply and voila.
Thanks xda!
Hi all:
I think I´ve definitely broken my brand new HTC One. The problem is that the phone is stuck in the initial animation (white screen with the HTC One logo. This screen) and I cannot do anything. I tell you the story.
I rooted the phone with this tutorial http://htconeroot.com/htc-one-root/how-to-root-htc-one-windowsmaclinux/
At first, everything seems to go fine, but the SuperUser app started to fail and ask for updates. I installed RomManager and I changed to CWM Recovery instead of the TWRP recovery installed while rooting. I unistalled Super SU and installed the Google Play version and everything was fine again.
Today I tried this mod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2251788 to remove the 3 dot menu and I flashed the file bkbtnmenu.zip with CWM. I flashed the file, I did a wipe cache and a wipe dalvik and when I tried to reboot, the HTC got stuck in the animation screen.
I cannot switch it off, neither entering in recovery or anything else. When I try to restart or enter in recovery it simply restarts to the same screen and cannot do anything but waiting for the device to empty the battery.
I´ve made something terribly wrong. Hope some of you guys can help me. Every little help will be appreciated. Absolutely desperated
For future reference I'd say not to use anything from zedomax because someone always has issues with his tutorials. Anyway, you said you're not able to boot into hboot?

Some progress
First of all, thanks for the advice.
After reading your reply I´ve tried again and now I´m able to start the phone in recovery mode. Sorry but cannot post images. I already can go into the HBoot screen.
But don´t know how to continue.
If you're able to boot into recovery try to factory reset, you'll lose all your apps and settings but that should work

No progress
I´ve done the factory reset, but after rebooting I´m still stuck in the boot animation screen.
Absolutely no idea of what I can do.
Try downloading an ruu if you just want full stock, otherwise try pushing a rom to the sd card and flashing it that should get you back up and running

I´m a bit newbie in this kind of things. Before the crash, I had Android 4.2.2 and even though I´m Spanish, I live in Singapore and I´ve bought my HTC here.
I´ve noticed that there are a lot of RUU and no idea of which to choose. I don´t have any problem in pushing a new rom, but how can I push it to the SD card? Please can you send me a link or two? I´ve found a lot of info in the forum but I´m a bit overwhelmed because most of the posts are for people with more experience than me and don´t know which one I have to choose.

Go to this thread, there you will find your resolution.
Sorry for bothering you again but it doesn´t work.
I followed the steps of the video. My HBoot screen now shows that it´s RELOCKED instead of UNLOCKED
I started the RUU file and it showed me that currently I have a 2.x.x.x. ROM and I´ll change to a 1.x.x.x. ROM. I clicked next and the software got stuck sending. After a few minutes, I received this message
ERROR[130]: MODEL ID ERROR
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone.
Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.
Maybe It´s something related to the drivers?

Did you change your CID?
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
How can I know if I´ve changed my CID?. I don´t think so, but I´m not sure. I´m so frightened
Ok, I will try to give as much info as I can, please let me know if there is anything else I should provide. I really appreciate any help and advice as I've been pulling my hair out for the last 3 days, spending 10+ hours trying to get my Amaze back working.
Problem started a few days ago, phone shut off, when it powered back on it was stuck on the White HTC logo. That same day the phone died completely and would not power on at all, not even the amber light. Eventually the amber light would blink the but phone wouldn't charge. I fixed this first issue by jump starting the battery with a 9V battery, something someone suggested on a thread. Worked great to get the phone charging again... but that's it. So basically I have access to the HBOOT/Fastboot and EXT4 Recovery menu's, and there is no OS on the phone, I know for sure now because I wiped the system.
When I try (but fail) to install the RUU 1.41 exe, and it checks the phone, i comes back saying my "current" version on the phone is 2.14.661.2 even though there isn't any OS on there...
Bit more background info. I purchased this phone last year off someone, it was running 4.1.2 and the bootloader was unlocked. It *is S-ON though.
Whatever else this guy did, I'm not sure as this is what I can tell, however the CID pulls up as Telus001? which the guy did tell me it was a Telus phone.
So I'm trying to load the Telus stock rom and I've been getting nowhere and pulling my hair out. I'm 10hrs in and no further then I was. So first I downloaded the Telus RUU 1.41 exe from the stock rom but it gives an Error 43. I tried this with both the bootloader locked again, and unlocked. I then downloaded the OTA 2.14.661 zip from the stock roms, and renamed it to PH85IMG, stuck that on the Ext SD card. Problem is when it boots into the HBOOT it actually see's the file, loads it, then checks it, but then returns me to the main menu. I don't get promted to update. Now I've tried this too with the bootloader unlocked, and locked. So a third go, I extracted the Rom from the 1.41 RUU and made that PH85IMG, tossed it onto the SD card and again this time it actually went further but gave another error.
I have tried to Sideload the above Roms through recovery but they give error's.
In that All In One program there is an option to fix the Mainver error, however when I run that all I get is "Device not found". The phone IS loaded under device manager as HTC Phone as I had installed the drivers. I've tried to google this fix but I can't get anywhere.
Everyone has said on forums that sticking a PH85IMG.zip file on an Ex SD and having it boot into the HBOOT menu will rebuild the phone, but I'm out of idea's how to get there because it loads the rom's, checks them, and then boots me back to the menu. There is only 2 Rom's I can find for Telus, and that's the 1.41 EXE or the OTA 2.14.661.2. My HBOOT version is 1.93.0002, RUBY PVT SHIP S-ON RL.
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions, desperately just want my phone working again. I feel like I've been to the 4 corner's of google trying to solve this problem.
Strange This should not happen.Also if your phone is running 4.1.2 which should be a custom then that means your phone was updated to ics so the ruu.exe will fail.if you have access to 4ext recovery then you can flash any custom rom to boot your phone.But if you want stock and both of the stock roms for your carrier is not working then the only thing you can do is s-off the phone then use supercid so you can flash any carrier's rom then flash t-mobile ics stock.Tell me if this worked for you.

Hi,
I have a HTC ONE M7 purchased from T-Mobile. I rooted it and have CyanogenMod installed in it. Recently, I switched to different carrier. Now, my phone rejects foreign sim card and asks for Network SIM card lock. The unlock code provided by T-Mobile doesn't work due to rooting the phone.
I want to go back to T-Mobile Android stock ROM and try the unlock code. What's the process for it? Here are some details from bootloader screen:

I don't understand why you are posting on this thread. It has nothing to do with what you need. There's tons of info on how to restore your phone in the forum for your phone. It is specific to the carrier or region that you got the phone from as well. Basic guideline is that if you just want to return to stock unrooted then you will have to relock the bootloader and flash a RUU (Rom Update Utility) that corresponds to the specific variant of the M7 you have and must be the same update or newer. If you aren't sure, then just pick the newest one. If you want to use custom roms, then you will have to download one that will work for your variant, use adb to push the file from your PC to the phone, then use TWRP to install. Since you are S-On, you will need to use fastboot to flash the boot.img from the rom zip you downloaded.
Sorry
I was posting on here because i thought this was where i get help sorry if it is wrong place but i am not wanting to know how to simply reset the phone i know how to do that i am trying to figure out why it says no os installed and when i do any type of restore it goes too th twrp menu comes up and my friend said was working fine b4 son hard reset it so if you can tell right place to get help i will go there and not bother anyone here again and also it says i am S-off so that isn't problem
