[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] richtoke:
HTC Amaze

Just another user disappointed about my Amaze. I've tried the Zerg, DarkLord and HTC Super Tool and nothing has worked. My bootloader is unlocked using the HTCDev method and shows Unlocked on the Fastboot screen, but alas, no luck getting it to root.

Looking forward to someone cracking this thing, until then, thanks for all of your good work!!

Here's the error in the DarkLord v3 root method:
