Ah thank you for responding. Fastboot is not checked and I don't think it ever was but I'm gonna reboot every thing from scratch and see if that helps. I will try again but I don't think it was that because i have no issues using 5.0.2.0.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
More roms getting support for new metta-inf setup and themes :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] fcpelayo:
Sorry for the noob question but what's the advantage of metta -inf
[HTC Amaze 4G] smatthew45:
the noobness is strong with this one... lol its so gingerbread roms can be more compatible with the latest ics based recovery, previous recoveries were gingerbread just like the roms
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
That wasn't noobness. It was a legitimate inquiry. You'll know noobness when I start flipping out on someone for asking a question that was answered about a dozen times in the stickies. :rolleyes:
[HTC Amaze 4G] cczupich:
Hey X,

I know your working on a touch recovery , and that is awesome since you make quality work. But I was wondering if theming would be possible with it, I like to theme everything I have and I themed the twrp 2.0 with a nightmare before Christmas theme that I made myself. So I was wondering if it would be possible?
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
im working with 4ext guy on it :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] alrosal:
Update--- I wiped everything. Went back to stock. Then loaded bulletproof back up. Flashed recovery and still can't get in. I know its loading because the robot comes on but then reboots. I guess I'll just stay on 5.0.2.0 because I like to charge my phone while off.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Nshih422:
I'm not sure if it's just me, but while in recovery with charger plugged in there's no led light to indicate charging. Not really a big deal just thought I'd point it out. Running 5.5.0.4.

On 5.0.2.7 it had the led working.

Otherwise great work X!
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
5.0.2.7 had it hacked in
[HTC Amaze 4G] scrubsja:
X, can this recovery flash from and backup to the external sd card? I can only backup to the internal, and only see files to flash from the internal. Is there any way to get it working with the external card or am I doing something wrong?
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
Put sdcard in reboot into recovery bam
[HTC Amaze 4G] scrubsja:
So X, what you are saying is that I must flash the 5.5.0.4 recovery without the external sd in and then put in the external sd and reboot to recovery to get the external sd recognized?
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
Ya that would work
[HTC Amaze 4G] scrubsja:
Doesn't work I tried doing that both with your recovery and the TWRP. What am I doing wrong? :confused:
[HTC Amaze 4G] mcs117:
I take it back...

It was a dumb mistake on my part, forgot to put the battery back... It's all good! Thanks.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
What else could xboarder mean when he said "I fixed the charging problem..." and "Off-charging" mean? :confused:
[HTC Amaze 4G] fcpelayo:
I was having this problem a while back and it went away as soon as I started ejecting my sdcard instead of just unplugging. Try ejecting.
[HTC Amaze 4G] alrosal:
Soiled my pants laughing at this 1 I've done things like that before
[HTC Amaze 4G] arrigo13:
X,

Although I don't post too often I do try to learn what I can with my limited knowledge. I don't really know what happened or want to go back through and read it. I don't know if it was public or PM's but, what I do know is you and Binary have been focal points for this phone. For those that complain and whine, there are many more of us that greatly appreciate your contributions and endless work making this phone more capable than HTC intended for us or TMO. I know this probably takes an extra space in the thread but, I didn't feel that hitting the thanks button was enough in this case. I maybe breaking the rules posting a thank you but, I feel it must be done. If it weren't for guys like you and the rest of the hardworking devs here, I'd have another run of the mill phone that I'd be bored with after a couple months. Not only do most of us enjoy being able to use our phone the way we want but, some of us actually learn from people such as you and the others creating ROMs, Themes, Programs, Zips, Flashes etc. Please don't be discouraged or allow a few to ruin it for the many. THANK YOU.

Sorry... I had to.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
lol ya which you like better before or after ?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
Haven't tried AFTER so it's difficult to say. Less "No" would be acceptable.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Nshih422:
Yea I liked the less no's like in 5.0.2.7 but ill live either way.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
ok working on might have test img up soon :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
uploading test build recovery-cwm-ruby-5.5.0.4-RC1.img

http://androtransfer.com/xboarder56/HTC Amaze 4g/Recoverys/5.5.0.4/recovery-cwm-ruby-5.5.0.4-RC1.img
[HTC Amaze 4G] Nshih422:
Well I flashed this image and now my phone doesnt want to boot. Just wanted to post this up incase its a problem so other people dont run into it and then complain

I flashed using the flash image app. I will reflash via fastboot and see if it resolves the problem. When i go to recovery from bootloader it flashes recovery screen for a 1/4 of a second and reboots to the HTC screen.

Maybe this was just a bad flash or something will update post when I have more information.

EDIT::

Well I think my phone is fried or something. I cant get anything to work. It wont bootup normally, I flashed the original 5.5.0.4, i flashed twrp (this recovery shows the TWRP screen for about 1 second) all recoveries go back to HTC screen.

Booting normally, after HTC screen goes black for a second then back to HTC screen.

I am going to try and flash a stock PC85IMG and see if that helps me get my phone back to normal. (At least I have access to fastboot and bootloader)

PS. It could be a coincidence that this happened right now and that it wasnt caused by the flash.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
its not image i flashed it

you can try fastboot flash boot recovery.img that will force it to boot into recovery
[HTC Amaze 4G] Nshih422:
I tried that with the different recoveries nothing worked. I flashed the stock PC85IMG and im up and running again. I flashed the RC1 recovery now and it loaded fine so something else messed up that casued my issue.

Although, now back to the recovery. When i try to flash a zip file and click on "Yes" it goes back to the last screen as if I clicked on "No" tried it with multiple zip files.

It works fine when i click "yes" on the original 5.5.0.4
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
ok will fix haha :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] alrosal:
I had similar problems with this recovery. Kept going to htc screen and rebooting after showing the animated robot for5 seconds. Flashed 5.0.2.0 and used that until I flashed twrp 2.0 which works fine. Someone had suggested making sure you don't have fastboot checked in your power settings. Didn't work for me but you never know.
[HTC Amaze 4G] krook6023:
Test recovery builds are not for the faint of...glad you knew what to do...you did exactly what I would have done...down to posting each step so that it is there to help others.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Nshih422:
Coming from a G2 and having a nightly to flash everyday to flashing once in a while lol ill do anything to get over it. I like to offer what i can to help the community as well and i figured that if it was a recovery problem i would like to save someone else the trouble. :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] NRGZ28:
Check out the energyrom thread soon and you'll have ROMs to flash weekly or bi weekly.. lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] mayoni:
Easy method for Hboot didn't work for me, I got CID error, but the hard method worked.

I realized after I installed the new recovery that it's preventing me from installing ROM from the SD card, kept on saying there is an error reading from SD card or something like that. Going back to version 5.0.2.7 worked. Is there a version of recovery older than the current one but newer than mine?

My boot loader is Ship S-on, does that cause any trouble?
[HTC Amaze 4G] charlatan01:
Hey X, I may be mistaken, but I think the flash image should read -ruby-5.5.0.4.img, correct? This may be why a few had issues.
[HTC Amaze 4G] fcpelayo:
Good Catch!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
If you figure out how to get s-off you would be a hero to the community. :rolleyes:
[HTC Amaze 4G] krook6023:
...same thing happened to me today. Except I had just flashed DARKSIDE.SUPER.WIPE_EXT4 that I modified for the Amaze.

I flashed my modified Darkside zip, flashed my ROM. The ROM booted and seemed fine, but would not reboot...STUCK at kernel splash, would not boot into recovery, no adb...etc (somehow this made me happy...b/c figuring out how to fix it is always fun to me...WEIRD)

This recovery does not seem to like wipe scripts.

Good news is that the Darkside wipe script works great after you edit the partition mount values to match our device layout (and use another recovery...lol). I would post a copy but thederekjay plans to release the script himself to many other devices soon and said he would prefer I didn't.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
Nice observation. It seems to be a common denominator. New CWM Recovery+SuperWipe script = -boot
[HTC Amaze 4G] Nshih422:
What I did was remove the erase boot partition from the super wipe script and I've never had problems
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
maybe this is earsing the boot partition too
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
I mentioned that possibility a while ago.

Nobody listens. :(
[HTC Amaze 4G] macheteZen:
I was just saved by your earlier posts, I was running this most current of Xboarders CWM recovery and attempted to flash craigtut's 2.4.2 4bar sense and it gave me an error 1 and so i tried to flash it again this time having cwm allow scripts and my screen flashed black. So I pulled battery and went bootloader to recovery at which point my screen blinked and went eternal kernel splash screen.

At this point I started to worry, no recovery what now... XDA and specifically Binary's posts at the top of this page. I had a solid hour's work with relocking, dlding the ruu, flashing, unlock (tokencheckfail), download new unlock_Code, unlock, recovery (5.0.2.7 or whatever), restore nandroid. :cool: whew time for bed. thanks again binary for pointing out the erasing of our boot partition with this recovery when flashing roms with scripts.

Painful lesson learned. :rolleyes:

Alright, get no prompt. Just the regular fastboot/recovery/etc.

Do I need to drop it on external, or is something stopping a recovery image prompt?

I see this:

Fastboot

recovery

factory reset

clear storage

simlock

image crc

Why is it not flashing/showing?

[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
Do you have an unlocked bootloader?

If not try a reboot and see if it sticks.
[HTC Amaze 4G] epeets:
I've tried this method with unlocked bootloader and it doesn't work. I just don't get any prompt for an update. Is it named correctly? I'll try a few more times but somethings strange here. Also flashed the recovery through the Rom Manager but you can't mount the internal storage for some reason.
[HTC Amaze 4G] vdub804:
Yea It's unlocked and sticking.
[HTC Amaze 4G] vdub804:
Did you place the file on the external sd, and is your sdcard formatted to fat32?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Vipermuscle83:
I have bootloader unlocked, perm-root, s-on, and flashed recovery through Rom Manager...recovery will not mount the sdcard at all. Not for backup, not for viewing zip files on the sdcard, or anything else. What am I missing here? To my understanding, s-off isn't mandatory to be able to flash roms as long as bootloader is unlocked and root is permanent?
[HTC Amaze 4G] gaww:
I ran into this also, plus 5.0.2.6 will not let you choose internal SD - 5.0.2.0 did - wish they had used that one.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
I will work on adding that :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] gaww:
I am going to erase my earlier bad nandroid and do a new one. Then I will try to use advanced restore only on the boot to see if I get a MD5 error message again.

If it does it again, may restore sock recovery, and then let ROM Manager install the 4.xxxx one and see if it will make a usable nandroid.

Update - tried running the backup from ROM Manager, but it is apparently looking for a different recovery, so running it directly from Recovery.

Restored boot - no MD5 error - it is booting up now. All working well and have done a number of nandroid restores with it - full and advanced. It is definitely full functions, although it cannot install from the internal SD (that is a function in 5.0.2.0 but not 5.0.2.6).
[HTC Amaze 4G] CalicoJeb:
Well ya'll confusing the hell outta this semi n00b :-)

Did you run Zerg tool or not to get root?

Maybe someone could write the A - Z in one post of the latest method to unlock, root and flash CWM

Things have changed a bit in the last two weeks since the Devs started, and its really in two to three different threads atm I think.

Think of us n00bs & semi n00bs :-)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
Technically you dont need to run the .bat script anymore.

Simply place the PH85IMG.zip file on the root of your external sdcard then completely shut off your phone.

Hold the volume down button (NOT VOLUME UP) while pressing the power button. Hold them until the white screen comes on.

At the top it should say either S-OFF or Unlocked.

It will automatically scan the contents of your sdcard and located a flashable .zip file then ask you if you want to upgrade. Volume Up for yes, Volume Down for no.

Press the volume up button and allow it to reboot.

Download ROM Manager from the Market if you haven't done so already.

Select Download ROM then Superuser.

Select Superuser 3.0.6 efgh (or later if there is one) and then download.

It will then prompt you to Reboot and Install. Press OK.

It should install just fine and reboot automatically.

If it doesn't... you will possibly find it in /sdcard/clockworkmod/download/downloads.androidsu.com/superuser directory.

Just move it to the root of your external sdcard.

Back in ROM Manager select Reboot into Recovery.

Then select install zip from sdcard.

Select choose zip from sdcard.

Select Superuser-3.0.6-efgh-signed.zip

Reboot with full root!

Pretty easy and no pc necessary!
[HTC Amaze 4G] gravis86:
+1 that's how I did it, only I created a nandroid before installing superuser (between steps 13 and 14).

For now yes.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mikeyman77:
With the HTC unlocked bootloader and clockwork recovery, it does not flash the boot.img t.o the boot partition. You have to fastboot flash it to make it permanent

Alright- I just tried this and I get a message after it nears completion stating "an error occured while attempting to run privelaged commands"

Did I miss something here?

Did you download and install ROM Manager from Market?

[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
I drive a Dodge. :D

I think you should be able to fastboot flash the recovery by using

fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery.img (assuming the file is on the root of your c drive)

substitute recovery.img with the actual name of the recovery image.
[HTC Amaze 4G] da9b16:
I know what it is I was just not aware of the title of that process. I am good to go now.....

To do this does the phone have to be in Fastboot? Sorry haven't done that before either and I have a ENG S-OFF running TMO.

I can't get my battery to charge when the phone is turned off, but when I plug the phone in to the charger, I can see that CWM is loaded, but the backlight is not active, so the options on the screen are VERY VERY dim. The orange LED comes on, but it is not charging the battery.

[HTC Amaze 4G] GSMachinst:
So install the same way it says on the instructions if on 5.0.2.6? And will they update the clockworkmod site with the 5.0.2.0 you have here?
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
Yes it will still work
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
Can I suggest that you also include the 5.0.2.6 version? Not sure if it was just me but the screen kept blinking out only showing you're X background. Not sure what that was all about. I also didn't see the option to flash from Internal Sdcard. Perhaps a fluke.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
Remove the sdcard it gets internel and try a reboot that happens when you hit camera buttons screen does that

PS its also in first post bright red
[HTC Amaze 4G] cczupich:
Please help!!!!

First I am not a noob I have flashed many things on many different phones. But I keep following the direction for this phone and I get nothing. I have taken out the external sd card so the phone looks at the internal but it pops up with an error, that the image isn't correct and then just stops. Every time this happens. Any ideas? Also I currently put TWRP on and it worked but now when I flash a custom rom it wont. So I guess my question is which recovery should I stay with? And how do I properly put it on my phone? And then how to properly put roms on without it telling me their wrong? Thank you in advance.

---------- Post added at 01:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:20 PM ----------

Is there any way to not have to pull the battery every time to get to hboot to get to recovery?
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
Then iwould just stay with internel sdcard both work with externel because I tested them before releasing and I didn't test internel to much but I hate using internel really no point but I will look into it

Edit...

I just test internel on cwm and it worked perfect so I don't know how you could be messing it up.

Pull out externel sdcard

Mount phone in android

Copy over your Tom

Eject phone from PC

Shut down android

Take out battery

Put back in

Hold volume down and power

Boot into recovery

Wipe data

Select install from sdcard

Select your rom

Wait for it to pop up yes

Select yes

Wait to install

Reboot

Hows the new recovery working everyone
[HTC Amaze 4G] -FuRBz-:
this is a very noob question but once i do this (if i do) it will wipe everything on the phone right? anyway to quickly restore? i hate re-downloading all the apps and such
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
upgrading the recovery wont wipe your whole phone i did it and i still got all my stuff
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
Unlocking your bootloader will wipe your device.

Flashing certain roms might wipe your device.

Flashing a different recovery should not.
