Okay, So here goes. I updated my phone with an OTA and the system file kept crashing making the phone unusable. It was still on stock at that point in time. I had trouble finding any help as the online help did not solve the problem.
So I went and decided to install a new OS. I unlocked the phone, rooted it, installed TWRP and MaximusHD 44.00. Now with the call issue, my phone became useless. My phone also was not receiving any OTA from the Devs of that OS.
This is all a big headache so I just want to go back to stock. I have tried using some TMO US RUU's, both zips and .exe to no avail. I keep getting not allowed: remote errors or signature errors.
Also, because of using the executives, my TWRP was removed. So now, the phone has nothing on it except the bootloader (whatever the operation is that I can get to fastboot.)
The diagnostics on top say ***tampered*** ***relocked*** ***security warning!***
I can provide radio numbers as well, but really I just need some one to tell me exactly which RUU I need and how to install it and get my phone back to how it was before this big headache. Any help is really appreciated. I need this phone for work and right now, it is a glorified paper weight. Getting desperate.

I have the Wind Amaze 4G
I tried to get S-off today and being unsuccessful I ended up at the screen where it shows the 3 arrows (2 in a circle and 1 pointing at the phone). I am assuming my stock rom got corrupted.
I can still get into fastboot and recovery (have CWM installed). Bootloader is unlocked (I can still lock/unlock it). I can get into CWM with the bootloader unlocked.
What I want to do is to revert back to stock and found a Wind/Globalive rom, but it's in an exe file. I ran it, but got back an error saying bootloader version incorrect.
I can't find any stock Wind zips...according to juopunutbear's instructions I need the stock rom...
Any help would be appreciated.
Wind's RUU is on the first link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1570807
I have that, but when I used it (with bootloader relocked), it spits out an error saying Bootloader version error and exits
Then why don't you just keep trying to get s-off, some people said they had tried for hours before they succeeded. And btw, how far you get before s-off install fails?
At the wire trick when it restarted and said failed.
I tried to complete s-off and where it says to do the wire trick, no matter what I did it just kept repeating "Do the wire trick now!".
Right now I'm downloading a custom rom (Energy 3.10) and see if I can flash it on with CWM then try to revert back to stock using that Wind/Globalive exe file and go from there.
I guess while I am waiting on the download I'll keep going with the s-off.
If it works, then I'm flashing the ICS update onto the phone directly and be done with it.
What I don't understand is why I can't revert back to stock in the mean time.
Did you see this video?
Edit: May be something's wrong with the RUU. Actually, there was a flame war recently because someone had posted a broken RUU for T-Mobile, but no one mentioned anything about the Wind one, so I assume its working fine... Go to xboarder56's website an ask him, he was the one who was providing the RUUs for the community
First I'd like to thank you for helping. I really appreciate it.
Now I am attempting the s-off again, got a bit further except after the wire trick it says cannot find device.
As for xboarders site, I can't seem to find it...
No problem, I'll pm you x's site, dont think Im allowed to paste it here, its a long story...
so after several tries I managed to get s-off, I guess my timing was just off the first time and the time where it looked like it looped was me not making proper contact with the wire.
Few other unsuccessful attempts were poor timing, got it right finally after like 6 tries.
Got ICS loaded and s-off!!!!
Now to unlock and re-root then debloat this rom!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!!
Im glad it worked out, man, cheers
P.s. Also, you dont need to unlock the bootloader, the best way to install ICS is the one described here, thats how I did it, got ENG hboot, and worked like a charm...
I also posted this in the Q&A section, but I am getting desperate.
ok,
So like an idiot, i began the S-OFF process without reverting my SuperCID. I cannot get past step 8, and i am having errors flashing my RUU.
Right now i cannot get past the bootloader. If i try to fastboot reboot, it takes me back to the bootloader. If i try a reboot, it takes me back to the bootloader.
Is there something that i can flash to get me back and running? I have tried numerous things, and i really need my phone back tonight. Grandfather is in the hospital, and i have no way to contact anyone except through facebook / email.
does anyone have some ideas, or know what i need to do? I honestly dont care about root or s-off, i can do that later. Right now i just need a bootable phone.
help!

Do you have recovery installed, and remember you have to relock your device for ruu to work

SuperCID likely isn't your issue. If you get a SuperCID error just flash the RUU again. The instructions say something about error 90, and I think the error code is 92. I got the error the first flash, flashed again and it went on just fine.
its all good now, and superCID was the problem. make sure you revert back before trying to s-off. i missed that step in the process and about pooped my pants when it wasnt working.
Hi guys,
2.95, hboot 1.58
I have a Sprint device that I moved to Ting and I can't get it activated. My Evo3d was a launch day phone and I have owned it the whole time without issues until now.
The problem is that the PRL/Profile simply will not update even when I manually enter the MDN and MSID. I'm trying to flash a stock rom to my phone as Ting suggested but I am having quite a bit of trouble. I have gone through the HTC dev tools and I have S-On (unlocked). However, I simply cannot manage to get any ruu to flash over as it always fails with error code 155 or 140. I'm getting really quite frustrated and due to the nature of Ting being a MVNO they don't exactly have anywhere I can stop in and get help at. I must be doing something wrong but I can't figure out what. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Edit: I have also tried putting a PG86IMG.zip directly onto the sd card and updating that way without success.

Okay, I successfully got Negalite blu-rom on the phone but I still cannot update PRL/profile or activate.
edit: Now I appear to have overwritten my stock backup. I could really use help here if anyone can point out how I can get back to a stock configuration. I obviously suck at this.
You can find the stock 2.89 rom here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420206&highlight=stock
This is rooted obviously.
If you want to ruu, you need to flash this first in recovery:http://db.tt/hiENKUvK
Then lock the bootloader and run the latest available ruu for 2.89.

Brian,
Thanks for the reply. I actually figured out my issue. I sent Ting the correct ESN when porting my phone and numbers over and somehow when Sprint ported my information they supplied the wrong ESN to Ting. I even called Sprint when I could not activate and they told me the correct ESN over the phone but when I checked with Ting on a whim it was different by only 3 digits with the last digit being identical...talk about easy to miss. Once this was corrected I was able to activate. I am super happy with the Nagalite rom I am running and I like it much better than stock so I am fine with sticking with it right now
Awesome! Glad you got it figured out thanks for letting us know what the problem was!
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.

Got it going!! Thanks for the suggestions. What did it in the end was this thread --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27058110
I had EXT4 Recovery already, so I used his Zip and just flashed that. Phone came back up and is running great now... if only I had found his thread before the hr's and hr's I've been googling and trying things.
I've tried just about every CDMA rom out there and all of them lead me to a white screen with the HTC logo on it. and it never goes away no matter how long i leave it there. Ive tried clearing every cache out there and at this point im sick and tired of this struggle and i just want **** back to the way it was before i tried anything with my phone. I dont believe it is bricked because i am still able to change my recoveries. I started with Amon-Ra and now im using TWRP with touch control. Much prefer TWRP but roms refuse to load!
So if anyone has any help for somebody who is very new to rooting and such would like to provide a step by step back to stock that would be much appreciated,
EDIT: Also when i go into my fastboot screen I see ***TAMPERED*** and ***UNLOCKED*** at the top. I know that unlocked is a good thing but i have never heard of Tampered.
