its not the HTCdev site, its the way you copied the key over to the box. absolutely no spaces are allowed.

but im gettin the same error for zerg. this is crap, i basically blanked my phone just to unlock it and restore everything.

is this a software version problem?
[HTC Amaze 4G] RyanB125:
I'm still receiving the same error! :(

[HTC Amaze 4G] droidux:
Assuming you are trying to root, you might try this approach. Worked for me. After the wifi update I had to reset to factory and remove CWM to get the update to install. After the update I did this again and all went well except I got an error during the root process using the file I downloaded from that thread. Thought maybe I was out of luck, but after rebooting the phone it was rooted. Been working fine for the past several days.

Alright, give me a sec, i'll pm you.

i will talk to binary maybe we can think of a way to flash recovery on a locked htc amaze
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
We could try to chmod 755 the flash_image binary to the data partition? This might allow us to flash the recovery but will it stick after a reboot? I really don't think so. I'm confident that HTC will lock the recovery partition as well. :( Worth a try though.

Sorry I haven't been on gtalk lately X but work has been stressful lately.
[HTC Amaze 4G] RyanB125:
Since it seems that rooting this is long from possible.....Can you guys help me with my tethering problem?

I'm almost certain wind locked it as I'll be able to make a hot spot and everything, my devices recognize the hot spot, yet I'm unable to connect to it. It seems to be something regarding retrieving the IP Address. And if it's any consolation, yes, it does work via USB tethering. I only wanted to root my phone because of this as from there I can download a tethering app via the market and fix it that way.
[HTC Amaze 4G] snowblossom:
Hello gents.

I'm reporting in to say that HTC Dev bootloader unlock worked on my Wind Mobile HTC Amaze when I followed the instruction on HTC Dev webpage a couple of hours ago.

Following that, I've tried all three of the installation methods for CWM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1316855) and none of them seems to work for me.

When I try the first method, after I type "adb push recovery-cwm-ruby-5.0.2.0.img /sdcard" in cmd prompt, I get "flash_image: permission denied" error.

With the second method, once I boot into normal recovery after copying PH85IMG.zip onto the SD card, I get something along the lines of "CID Incorrect [...]" (I can get the exact wording if you require that, but I don't think the exact wording is important here). Also, I should mention here that the instruction for the 2nd method is confusing since it doesn't explicitly state that one needs to reboot the phone into recovery mode: that should be step 3.5.

Lastly, with method 3, everything seemed to have gone well, but when I go into recovery, I still get the normal recovery rather than CWM.

Since this Wind Mobile HTC Amaze bootloader unlocking through HTC Dev seem to have been only enabled today or last night, I thought I'd post this here since there are others discussing bootloader unlocking in this thread.

I would love to install CWM recovery and get some custom ROMs working on the Amaze ASAP, so any help would be appreciated! Thanks. :)

EDIT: I forgot to mention that the software number is 1.45.1500.2

EDIT: I just bought the phone today (Dec. 26th)
[HTC Amaze 4G] rbaruch:
If you purchased your amaze today in the boxing sale then you must be lucky. I bought mine half a week ago and it won't freaking unlock via htcdev. Gives me blank errors
[HTC Amaze 4G] snowblossom:
Yes, I did buy it today.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
Try this:

Run the Flash.bat script as Administrator with your device plugged in.

Make sure you have usb debugging turned on.
[HTC Amaze 4G] snowblossom:
Thanks for the effort, but even after running the .bat, I still end up in the normal recovery... orz.:confused:
[HTC Amaze 4G] jmhalder:
When booting into the bootloader, does it say "*UNLOCKED*" at the top? if so, you should be able to go into fastboot, and (with the SDK installed, and the SDK tools directory added to the path) go to the directory where you have the recovery.img, and type:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

if it does NOT say unlocked at the top of the bootloader screen, it isn't unlocked, and the recovery can't be flashed, changes won't stick to recovery/boot/system without the bootloader being unlocked.
[HTC Amaze 4G] snowblossom:
Yes, it does say "Unlocked" (S-On, though, which FWIR, is not important for my needs)

I tried your method as well, and I'm still getting the normal recovery.

i dot imgur dot com/nqUR1 dot png

this is my recovery flashing cmd prompt screenshot, and it seems to have gone without a hitch, which leaves me even more perplexed.

EDIT: just to make sure, this is what I did. After booting into normal recovery, I went into Fastboot (by pressing on the power button), connected the USB cable which changes "FASTBOOT" to "FASTBOOT USB", and then I ran "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", after which I selected "POWER DOWN" by hitting volume down button twice and then pressing on the power button. After that, I disconnected the USB cable and held down the volume down and the power button to go to recovery mode. This brings me to normal recovery instead of CWM recovery, which to my understanding is what I should be seeing.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
Give this a go.

[HTC Amaze 4G] snowblossom:
This is what I did.

Downloaded the zip in the link, unarchived it.

Connected USB cable.

Turned USB Debugging on.

Ran flash.bat as an Administrator.

The phone went into normal recovery and it seemed like it was installing CWM recovery.

Got this in the command prompt.

C:\Android\RecoveryInstallerFoNoobs>fastboot flash recovery recovery-cwm-ruby-5.

Press any key to continue . . .

The phone rebooted, and when the phone completely booted up, I powered it off.

Unplugged USB cable.

Pulled out the battery and put it back in.

Held down the volume down and power button.

After this, I was greeted by normal recovery again. I'm thinking maybe there's something different about WIND's HTC Amaze...

EDIT: My HBOOT is version 1.90.0008.

This is what I have at the top of the recovery mode screen.

Yeah... that's not recovery. That's the bootloader. Select Recovery and press power. :rolleyes:
[HTC Amaze 4G] darkmagic99:
I have the HTC Amaze from Wind and I have CWM and root using the alternate method.

snowblossom - all you need to do is get into recovery. go to hboot (vol down and power) and then choose recovery. It should then reboot into CWM recovery and you can then install superuser to get root or you can install custom roms from there.

Thanks Binary- that alternate way 100% works :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] snowblossom:
Thank you!

Hahaha oh wow!

I'm terribly sorry, I was so used to LG P500's thunderg/twrp where you directly load into recovery rather than bootloader.

[HTC Amaze 4G] :
are you just trying to update to ics? If so, you will need to update all the radios and other partitions on your phone, which will require the factory update.

easiest thing to do is put the PH85IMG.zip on your external sdcard and boot into bootloader.

Either way, the root exploit used on the amaze has always been the same, so hasoon's tool should still work. the script to unlock the bootloader also works on all flavors of factory roms shipped by Tmo.

I know there are some threads on here about the grey/green bars and I want to make it clear that I am not asking WHAT the difference is. I am asking why dont I have blue bars without WiFi? It has been working fine without WiFi at all up until now.

Do you have a Verizon Nexus? If so Verizon has been having 4G outages across the country today so you may not have a data connection. Those bars show grey when there is no data 3G/4G connection.

[G2 and Desire Z General] BlindWolf8:
Hello all,

A friend just purchased a used G2. I was able to take it from stock 2.3.x ROM, downgrade it, and then root it and load a CM7 KANG on it just fine. I then updated CWMR to the latest version for this phone (5.0.2.7) through ROM Manager.

I noticed that if I have the battery in and the phone off, when I plug in a USB cable, the phone boots directly to CWMR (no HTC screen) after about 7 seconds. Searching on the forums it looks like this was a CWMR issue that was fixed earlier in 2011. Is this a regression in CWMR or is something else up?

Stranger still: if I leave CWMR up, the CWMR text on the screen disappears after 20 seconds and the whole screen is blank. The phone seems to stay on though as I can now boot it by pushing the black button at the bottom center of the phone (OK/Confirm in CWMR) or the Power button. Normally when the phone is unplugged it only boots via the push of the Power button.

Any tips would be appreciated. Thank you XDA!
