No prob, if I remember correctly I left mine on the regular screen hit permaroot n then flashed the new Rom from recovery. Also I believe all custom roms come.with root.

Trouble with Re-Locking

Hi Hasoon,

First off, many thanks! I literally sat down and read all 30+ pages. I think I have a good understanding of this now but here's the problem I'm facing. I am trying to re-lock my bootloader so that I can install ICS. Then I will unlock, flash a recovery and do the perm root feature.

I get to the part where it's 'waiting for device' and just sits there. I have tried toggling on the Settings >> Power >> Fast Boot option. It doesn't do anything. I know I have to enable 'USB debugging' (which it is) and the drivers are all there b/c I'm able to do everything else using your toolkit.

Do you know what else I could be missing to 'lock' this darn buttloader? :D

Thanks a million! Will definitely show my support once I get this bad boy working!

---------- Post added at 02:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:24 AM ----------

Okay, what's weird was when I toggle on the 'USB debugging', it did the trick. So now it shows 'Relocked'. Not sure if there's a difference between that and 'Locked'.

Anyways, I am trying to go into 'Recovery' to flash the 'PH58IMG.zip' but it's not letting me. It's like it's in a loop bringing me back to the 'Fastboot' window all the time. Since I'm now 'Relocked', I can simply redownload the OTA ICS and install it this way to see if it works.

---------- Post added at 02:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:40 AM ----------

After downloading the OTA ICS, I proceeded with installing it. When I got to the prompt are you sure yada yada, I selected 'OK' and then it brought me to the FastBoot window again? And now I'm back in the same loop as I was before. My recovery is CWM 5.0.2.7. Should I use a different recovery like '4EXT' and see if this works? At this point, I don't believe the recovery even plays a part in it yet. It's only needed if I want to flash a different ROM right?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

You need to extract the entire .zip file that you downloaded. Put it on your desktop i think would be best. OP is Original Post. Go and re-read ALL of the instructions.

Then when youre done, put that unlock-code.bin into the HTC Toolkit folder and it should work. But please go re-read the OP first, make sure you follow the steps exactly, and then you will be able to unlock your device, root it, and install one of the custom recoveries.
[HTC Amaze 4G] sampowers:
Got it done. The extraction was the key....along with the newly updated video by Hansoon.

Thanks guys!

Great tool here, everything appears to have gone smoothly. I followed the 5 steps to unlock the bootloader - no issues. Installed TWRP using the tool. Then did the perm root extra option. Then used the tool to force the phone to boot into recovery... I then flashed super wipe and then ARHD rom. Everything has been super smooth.

But I can't get the phone to boot into recover using the power and vol - method. I can only get to recovery by connecting to my PC and using the tool command to reboot to recover.

It seems to do some sort of fast boot with power and vol -... from off to loaded in a split second... never seen that before. I'm 2 weeks into the Amaze coming from the G2X, so please pardon my ignorance, I've been reading like crazy trying to get up to speed, but can't seem to figure out why power and vol - won't boot me to recovery.

Thanks in advance for the help!
[HTC Amaze 4G] hasoon2000:
You have to take out the battery. Put it in. Hold the power and volume down button. It'll boot to bootloader. Then select the recovery option. You always have to take out the battery and put it back in.

Hey, first off, I really appreciate your work since this toolkit made life easier (don't have to type carefully in adb :D)

Sorry for the noob question here, it's been ages since I last used your all in one toolkit. The last time I used it there are no options for the three additional features.

So, my questions first question is if I don't do the perm root option under the optional section, it will only temp root my phone? Is the perm root option basically flash the superuser.apk?

Another question is what does the apk installer do? Is it just like batch installing the apps that I have on my phone in case I switch between ROMs?

Lastly, what is mainver error fix option do?

I didn't see any of these options previously and I couldn't find any readme.txt or manual that explain those features.... So, I am just wondering if I need those....
[HTC Amaze 4G] tbonezx11:

Hansoon thanks for making this tool.

[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
After you unlocked the bootloader did you flash a custom recovery? If I'm reading correctly, the toolkit is pushing the SU file onto the sd card, then it wants you to go into recovery and flash it. If you haven't flashed a recovery, then flash 4ext recovery. then you can download superuser here, if it isn't already on your sd card, and just flash it through recovery, which would be these directions you are reading in the command prompt:

Go to Install Zip From SD Card

Choose Zip From SD Card

Locate SuperSU.zip and flash it

Press the back button and then reboot the phone

You are now rooted

Alright, I'll try it again, though when I tried yesterday...I tried turning debugging on/charge only/bootloader unlocked...I reset my phone and clicked the 4EXT, then clicked flash recovery...same thing... "error: more than one device or emulator" and "< waiting for device >"

Like I said, I'll try again as soon as I finish this post honestly lol. But, any clue as to why I keep having this issue?

***Noob question! I just realized that I took the MicroSD out a while back because a friend needed to use to for some transfers...could the fact that I don't have one in the phone be what is causing this? If so, I can go buy one today.*** -Bought an hour ago =D

Finally, what is the difference between 4EXT and TWRP 2.1.0? I have no clue which one I need to flash when I do this.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rachelm920:
I would say go with 4EXT because it flashes everything easier.

I have a quick question.. Im gonna flash a rom tomorrow.. So after I unlock boot loader, install recovery, could I install Faux kernal through this application and then install my rom? Or do i have to install the rom first?

So: 1. unlock bootloader; 2. install recovery, use the backup thing in app (this protects my phone in case something bad happens), flash kernal, then flash rom.

[HTC Amaze 4G] peestandingup:
Doing it manually now actually. Unlocked bootloader. Next step is where it gets fuzzy. Here's why. Some instructions call for installing 4EXT next, but that won't fly because it needs Root access. Well, all the root methods (besides yours) look like they're out of date. The "one click" methods fail & usually don't do anything besides open & close a terminal prompt. Windows & Mac (I have both). Sooo, thats where I am.

I'm actually pretty sharp when it comes to this stuff, but I do need the right info. There seems to be a mishmash of correct & incorrect stuff in the Amaze forums.

I put the 3.1 version in my public dropbox if anyone wants it.

I'll leave it up until Dev-Host finishes upgrading their ****.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Flynch3211:
I guess I have rooted my phone.

I say I guess because had to use version 3.1 because the download link for the latest version was down, still I able to undertsan that there's not really a lot of changes. Now, I have unlocked my bootloader ( I had to follow manually htcdev for that for some reason and I know why. in the end, I tried that without enbabling usb debugging) The I started to use the tools at step #3. from there the part of having boot loader unlocked and I attempted to flash a recovery to gain perm root. I flash 4ext to strat with because some fo you guys recommended it, Flashed it then I folloed what they said in the video for perm rooting the phone, where I had to find a special zip filethat I did'nt find ( i was too fast when I was 4ext, I didn't let the time to the pc to push the files.) then I went on and flash TWRP inistead, to be at par like the vid. I realized that i was too fast and let the terminal push the files. I was still not able to find the superuer package. so i went ahead and flashing clockwork. still didn't find what i was looking for. When It was time for me to go the bed, I decided to go take a look in my applications... Superuser was there. Does that mean I have root? If yes. what could be the next stp for me as i plan to install the OTA file from my provider to upgrade to ICS.

so the status of my phone is the following :

Boot loader unlocked

Clockwork recovery

s-on

Rooted?!

Thanks.

hasoon, your tool rocks, but if the files are now pushe and not manualll installed by the custom recovery, I suggest you update your video so it reflects that you tool pushes the files altogether.. Thanks
[HTC Amaze 4G] hasoon2000:
Older versions are no longer supported. I don't.remember how 3.1 was for the root. Toolkit is now back online with dev host.

[HTC Amaze 4G] peestandingup:
Mine did the same thing with v3.1. Superuser was there, but it didn't seem like it was truly rooted. Root Checker apps confirmed it wasn't. Probably just something wrong with the older version of the toolkit not playing nice.

Anyways, my advice would be to just use your unlocked bootloader to flash a ROM thats already rooted. Be sure to do a backup first then a full wipe.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Flynch3211:
well i'm all for that now that I am unlocked , I just wonder if I'll ever be able to get ICs one day , now I suppose that having custom rom with root in it will require me to go S-off. I think that I am prepared for that now, and well, I have been playin a paper clip and some scotch tape to make myself a rude but functional bridge. i'll include the picture.

at this current state , I will be able to install GB customs roms without any issue I suppose right?
[HTC Amaze 4G] peestandingup:
I'm pretty sure you can install the ICS factory based ROMS right now. I'm not an expert by any means & am not used to not having to jump through HTC's hoops (mostly used Nexus devices up to now), but I didn't have to S-OFF mine or anything to install a custom ROM. Just did the bootloader unlock the official way, used this tool to install a custom bootloader, backed up, wiped, then installed Speed ROM 7. Mine works fine.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Flynch3211:
On the thread they say I have to flash a leaked ICS first before attempting to download speed rom 7.

for being on Videotron, that equals s-off

as I have to flash a t-mo or any other Ruu as the only thing videotron offers right now is an OTA
[HTC Amaze 4G] peestandingup:
Ah. That makes sense now. Mine is T-Mobile & had ICS already on it. Must be something that the ICS update does to the baseband in order to run the newer stuff.

Yeah, doing S-OFF is prob your only way. Let us know how it goes!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Flynch3211:
Well i had toflash back to its regular RUU. Unfortunately, I semi. Ricked the phone yester days when I decided to do somethingbasbstupid as applying an OTA file through a custom recovery. I got stuck at the "HTC sans quietly brilliant" screen. So long story short, I had wiped the whole system on the phone. When i ran Videotron's exe RUU it literally asked me if I wanted to replace nothing with the base RUU. That's how bad I was. I'll wait three years if i have to, but i am no longer touching this until my contract finishes :)

i read noob proof so i tried.. and i ran into a snag already..

running htc amaze ova ics.. haven't done any unlocking or rooting with it yet.. done steps 1 and 2 and stuck on 3.. i put my phone on debug mode and plugged it in and run #3.. my phone goes into the boot loader, but the command screen doesn't move passed 'waiting on device'.. i've tried a few times and even let it sit on that for 15 minutes.. am i missing something? do i let it sit longer?

And im from samsung android so i dont have much knowledge on s-off or supercid

So

Unlock bootloader is step 1 and i think theres no need to check it its ics or gb cause it will work

2nd part is custom recovery? Iam i right? If im wrong please correct me.. and can you give me a link on putting custom recovery on ICS?

Im guessing the 3rd one is root or s-off which one was it?

And when will i install that supercid stuff? And also the root methods here are all for gb...

Need help.. i just want to get to arhd or speedrom
[HTC Amaze 4G] johnride:
Alright there is absolutely no difference between GB and ICS for what you want to do. With the all in one toolkit in the OP you have everything you need to flash a custom recovery (I recommend 4ext) and from there you can flash. You don't need to root be for flashing any ROM you want and the ROMs you cite are already rooted.

S-off is not necessary I think (though making things simpler) nor superCID for flashing a ROM. The only difference if s-on is that your device will reboot twice when flashing a new ROM for writing the boot.img on the first and load it on the second. This only works with 4ext. If you want to s-off I think the instructions are in the toolkit, if not just search for juopunutbear s-off. SuperCID is really easy to do, look for it.

So, the procedure (in my opinion) is :

Flash 4ext recovery with the toolkit

Try to flash your ROM from the recovery

If it doesn't work SuperCID (not sure it will work)

Still doesn't work or can't SuperCID, S-Off

Retry flashing from recovery

Retry SuperCID if it didn't worked and you have issues with flashing

Retry flashing.

If you can't manage to flash your ROM with these instructions than there is someone less lucky than me in the world with flashing things! :D
