[HTC Amaze 4G] skugpezz:
I am just backign up my contacts. Because it seems like it will reset the phone.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Y2Ne1:
lol copy it to your sim card here use this app :rolleyes: click this https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwxLDEwMiwiY29tLmhhcHB5ZHJvaWQuYzJzIl0.
[HTC Amaze 4G] skugpezz:
My sim card is full lol.

I dont have S-off so the methods you stated wont work.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Yes, it's gonna master reset your device.
[HTC Amaze 4G] skugpezz:
Bootloader is unlocked and phone booted and is now on desktop.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
It's not that simple for mobilicity devices jay, that was my first approach as well but there's no stock GB RUU to work with and he's not s-off, with the time we've talked, he's not ready for s-off either. So I'm trying to find a workaround at the moment, he's gonna unlock, reflash the stock recovery (I pulled it from the old tool as well), then we're gonna try the regular update method, if that fails, we'll try my update method and if that fails as well? S-Off it is. Thanks for the thanks mate, :).

---------- Post added at 07:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:33 PM ----------

Reboot into the custom recovery you have, make a backup of your current system settings in case we need it and to help others on mobilicity that may need a stock rom, I'm gonna make a flashable zip out of it. After you backup, reboot into fastboot and use the tool to flash the recovery.img I gave you earlier.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Y2Ne1:
aww man that suck B@lls =( only reason i posted these up cause i semi bricked my phone today hahahaha so i'm trying to fix it & Your very welcome for the Thanks bro i learned something new mobilicity & t-mobiley
[HTC Amaze 4G] skugpezz:
Made the backup and flashed the recover.

Is the next step to install the update?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Shivammcool:
Before you do that, can you extract the update and post that along with your backup so other mobilicity users ( like me ) could benifite from that? But only of Dark says so....cause he knows what he is doing
[HTC Amaze 4G] skugpezz:
Already did that too. Will upload for Dark soon.
[HTC Amaze 4G] skugpezz:
I tried to install the update.

Phone rebooted got circular arrows, then I saw a green bar like something was being saved to my memory card.

Then it stopped and I have a red triangle with an exclamation sign in it.:confused:

Edit: Just pulled battery and now it back to the phones desktop.

EDIT2: I think I should have relocked the bootloader first
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Relock the bootloader again then do the update.

And thank you for uploading the backup, it's gonna help a lot of users.

If you get the red triangle again, hold volume you up then press power, then browse to the file I told you to copy to your sd card and press power to select it, watch the magic happen.

Can you upload the ota file as well please, thanks.

Sent from an Amaaaaaazing place :-D

---------- Post added at 08:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:31 PM ----------

Lol at t-mobiley, made me actually laugh to myself, +1.
[HTC Amaze 4G] skugpezz:
Sigh... Now it wont go into recovery.

When i try going into recovery I get that red triangle.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Read my post on what to do with the red triangle, you don't read through well huh? Lol I hope you copied the OTA file to your sd card as I told you to, read back the instructions on what to do with the red triangle error.
[HTC Amaze 4G] skugpezz:
lol I relocked the bootloader. I checked and it is locked.

The OTA update is in the download folder of my SD card.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Placed it on your external sd card right? Take it out of the folder and put it flat on the root of the sd card, not in any folders, then READ READ READ my post, I told you EXACTLY what to do, THREE times, now when you find it let me know. Something about volume button something something. :rolleyes:
[HTC Amaze 4G] skugpezz:
I did hold the volume button down and press power. The white screen came up. Then when I try to go in recovery I get the red triangle.

I am going to move the OTA on the root and try again

Assuming you mean my removable card and not ext_sd.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Shivammcool:
...and upload it....lol...sorry.....
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
When you move the file to the sd card, reboot into recovery. Once it gives you the red triangle error, do not reboot, press volume up and power button. It's gonna gonna tell you command/cache something error, then give you a recovery menu, select install update.zip external, once you do, it should give you a list of the files on your sd card, browse to the OTA file using the volume button then select it with the power button. Let the magic happen.

---------- Post added at 09:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 PM ----------

Your removable card is your ext-sd. The mini sd card you can take out the device.
[HTC Amaze 4G] skugpezz:
I did that and it says invalid operation then reboots.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Oh brother, not this error. Well boot into android, go settings>about phone>software updates and let the system do the update, that's if you didn't try that already after installing the stock recovery, etc.
[HTC Amaze 4G] skugpezz:
Doing this is says "shutting down" then it reboots and the red triangle comes back up.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Well, I gave you all my options bro, my last and final option would be to s-off, since we have no stock ruu to work with and we have nothing else to fix that error, my only method to get around it doesn't work.

*sighs*
[HTC Amaze 4G] skugpezz:
When the white screen comes up it shows a couple of green lines which say "No image found".

Do I have to rename the zip file?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Shivammcool:
So after s-off, what would you do differently?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Did you copy the correct ota file to your sd card? Do you have an external sd card? What is the name of the OTA file you copied? Put the entire file name here.

---------- Post added at 09:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:48 PM ----------

After s-off I'd just let you use telus or wind stock ICS since they have a stock GB ruu that we can restore to.
[HTC Amaze 4G] skugpezz:
The name of the OTA is "OTA_RUBY_ICS_35_S_DAVE_CA_2.14.1800.6-1.45.1800.2_R_release_263099viknauioz1fkgotb"
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Hmmmm...where is this file copied to?
[HTC Amaze 4G] skugpezz:
It is on the Root of my removable card.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
And when you use the volume up+power combo after getting the red triangle error, it says incorrect something and reboots when you try selecting the file? Try renaming the file to update and try again.
[HTC Amaze 4G] skugpezz:
I see install update from zip.

It never showed me a file.

after pressing install form zip it says "invalid operation" and reboots.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Shivammcool:
Just pass over me, but with doing all of this you guys are talking about, does it wipe your SD card? Also, if I soff my phone and install a wind or TELUS ruu, is it any different than a Mobilicity rom?
[HTC Amaze 4G] skugpezz:
E:/cache cant open cahe partition. What does that mean?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
The only difference between providers is sometimes a boot screen and the apps they add in, though telus/wind don't seem to add anything, they leave it as stock HTC.

Did you try renaming it to update?

If that doesn't work either, then s-off would be my only option left.

Sent from an Amaaaaaazing place :-D
[HTC Amaze 4G] skugpezz:
Yes I renamed the zip file and still nothing.

I am stock with gingerbread I guess....

Thanks for the help
[HTC Amaze 4G] Y2Ne1:
My wife says that all the time :rolleyes: lol now it's stuck i go to t-mobile and say my t-mobiley not working lol there like WTF hahaha here's another funny thing if you take the letters of the week it's S.M.T.W.T.F.S. see that WTF hahahahahaha :rolleyes: another 1 from the wife :rolleyes:
[HTC Amaze 4G] skugpezz:
Would I have this problem if I had a Samsung galaxy sII ?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Lulz

Um I'd say not, there's no s-on restriction of those. Though flashing across providers is a bit iffy.

Sent from an Amaaaaaazing place :-D
[HTC Amaze 4G] skugpezz:
Are there any roms you can recommend that doesnt require s-off and super cid?
[HTC Amaze 4G] skugpezz:
What if I try to use rom manager to install the zip?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
You can try the GB roms in the dev section.

---------- Post added at 12:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:31 AM ----------

Stock recovery is the only way to install that ota file.
[HTC Amaze 4G] skugpezz:
Are the any you personally would recommend?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Not really, I prefer stock personally, I implement my own tweaks and theme my rom to my liking. You can read the comments and check the screenshots for the roms that have been developed. I saw a lot of folks loved the energy rom on GB, you can give that a shot.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Petronoid:
I recently updated my phone to ota ics. Bad idea.....problems with camera and Bluetooth doesn't work anymore. Did not have any issue with original GB. I talked to both mobilicity and HTC, no help. Now I can either send it back for warranty claim or root and install custom ROM and forget the warranty.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Shivammcool:
Yeah, that's what I might think to do, install a custom rom

Follow me @Shivammcool
[HTC Amaze 4G] Y2Ne1:
im gonna sound like a **** :( but dam bro sell your phone or go to a dealer that does that unlock install roms s-off supercid i understand you love this phone but dam your questions been answered a while back READ nikka READ smh

Sorry the ahole inside me came out :(

p.s sorry again :(

[HTC Amaze 4G] skugpezz:
Can I brick my amaze by doing the s-off wire trick?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Not really, the instructions are basic, don't see how you couldn't understand 'em and with hasoon's tool, it's a bit more simplified than it already is.
[HTC Amaze 4G] skugpezz:
I think I want to try that tonight .
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
1. You'll need to take your device back to stock like when we were trying to update, stock recovery, stock rom, etc,

2. Unlocked bootloader (which you have)

3. Must be rooted (which you should have on stock, if not, do it via hasoons tool)

4. Turn USB debugging on before starting

5. A blank sd card, (just take your stuff off your sd card)

6. A piece of insulated wire (like the ones found in ethernet wires since it has to fit into a pin hole, twist it to make it one wire, nice and tight)

7. The control bear program from this site: http://unlimited.io

8. Follow all instructions on the site/program

9. A quick hand

10. Lots of patience if you don't get it the first few tries.

Note: you'll notice inside the phone, there might be a red thing kind of showing, it may block the wire from touching the point inside to do the wire-trick, take a pin and dig at this a bit to move it aside so the wire can touch the chip it's covering.
[HTC Amaze 4G] skugpezz:
Thanks for the info. I notice the video has been removed here http://unlimited.io/juopunutbear-public-beta-0-1/instructions/htc-amaze/
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Just check YouTube, there's lots of videos about it there.

Sent from an Amaaaaaazing place :-D
[HTC Amaze 4G] skugpezz:
This one seems to be Straight forward

Also, I can assume adb is on my system because hasoons tool worked right? I can use the nandroid backup to get back to stock?

[YOUTUBE]PUDSwQbCVF8[/YOUTUBE]
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Yes you can use the nandroid and yeah you can find the adb files in hasoons tool's data folder. So if you're gonna use adb browse to that folder using a cmd window and the cd command.

Sent from an Amaaaaaazing place :-D
[HTC Amaze 4G] skugpezz:
I will do the s-off in a few days when I clear my head and do enough reading.

Also need to find a wire :cool:
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Lol okay.

Sent from an Amaaaaaazing place :-D
[HTC Amaze 4G] skugpezz:
I took a look at my amaze and noticed it is different from the ones in the examples.

Where do i touch the wires?:confused:
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
I noticed there's a white paper behind the pin hole, take a sharp pin and dig at the that a bit to get it out of the way so the wire can touch the chip behind it before tying to do it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Shivammcool:
Wait, do I NEED to be on stock? Could I still do it if I am on a custom rom? Being on mobilicity, I don't have a stock Rom.

Follow me @Shivammcool
[HTC Amaze 4G] Shivammcool:
I was told for me that I could do this, even though I am not on stock.

1. unlock on gingerbread 2. flash the kernel from this thread ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1359951 ) 3. run control bear from here ( http://unlimited.io/content/files/ControlBearRelease_ruby_GB_WIN.zip ) 4. when your s-off, do the SUPERCID 5. then you can update to the ICS 6. then flash the ICS unsecure kernel 7. Then run control bear for ICS here ( http://unlimited.io/content/files/ControlBearRelease_ruby_ ICS_WIN.zip ) 8. Once you are s-off your good to go

Follow me @Shivammcool
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
You can try, but it's not guaranteed to work like stock. Though many have reported success using custom roms based on stock.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Shivammcool:
I'm on quiksense v3.0

Follow me @Shivammcool
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Once you've s-offed using control bear, super cid and updated, you don't need to s-off again, it's already s-offed.
[HTC Amaze 4G] skugpezz:
Thanks, I totally didnt see those holes :o
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Lol welcome, nice apps by the way, Gshock app looks pretty neat.
[HTC Amaze 4G] skugpezz:
:D thanks. I have a few games I am working on too.

Here is a video of my zombie shooter

[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Nice, you're pretty good, howcome you're letting an amaze challenge your skills? Lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] skugpezz:
Lol its a little different. I just want to get familiar with flashing roms and understanding it again.

All my games and apps I test on my mytouch 4g. Which also has a custom Rom.

I just haven't done this kinda stuff in a long time :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] yrv_13:
WAIT!!!!

i hope im not too late but assuming u have a custom recovery u have to flash the stock recovery before relocking bootloader. :)

Edit: nevermind... this happens when u dont read...LOL
[HTC Amaze 4G] skugpezz:
Now flashing stock ruu :highfive:
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Easiest newbie I've ever worked with solving his probs. Calmest too, didn't get frustrated once, wish they all were like 'em, lol.

I'd +1 you but my damn thanks limit is already kicking in, maybe when I get on the app, :p.
[HTC Amaze 4G] skugpezz:
Lol thanks man. I learned not to get frustrated from programming.

It would take alot to frustrate me.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
That's how we all should be, then we could get things done, keep being cool bro.:cool:
[HTC Amaze 4G] skugpezz:
Calm is the only way to be :)

ICS is installing gone further than it ever did.:good:
[HTC Amaze 4G] skugpezz:
Thanks to Dark I am now on Mobilicity ICS :D.

What kind of mods can i do now?

Can I root it?

Do i still need S-off to install custom ICS roms?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Yes you can root and nope you don't need s-off to install custom roms, get 4EXT recovery, you can install mods like the beats mod and the HQ camera mod, :good:.
[HTC Amaze 4G] skugpezz:
So after rooting and adding recovery I can install a custom ICS rom?

How do i use hasoons tool to root? Do i need to be in bootloader to root it?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Just make sure usb debugging is enabled, choose the root option, you have to install a recovery first before trying to root though. Yeah, choose root and the program is gonna tell you what to do next...
[HTC Amaze 4G] skugpezz:
This is what i got done so far.

unlocked boot loader

flashed recovery

backed up my ICS rom (it is 999 MB :confused:)

Rooted

flashed Fast amaze ICS.

Now booting :victory:
[HTC Amaze 4G] skugpezz:
My wifi doesnt work after flashing fastamaze :(

I missed a step to flash boot.img
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Reflash....let it reboot if it does so automatically, if the dev has a firmware package, don't forget to flash it via hboot.
[HTC Amaze 4G] skugpezz:
Here is the thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1657666

It says

What does that mean? I didnt get a boot.img

Can that cause wifi not to work?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Check inside the zip file for the boot.img file, you have to reboot into fastboot and flash it using adb, use the fastboot command: fastboot flash boot boot.img, place the file in the adb fool, you can use the adb tools in hasoons tool kit's data folder, just use a cmd window to browse to it then use that command.

here's bat script to flash the boot.img
[HTC Amaze 4G] skugpezz:
Couldnt have done it without you bro.

I now have a fully functional phone.

I dont feel like selling it anymore. It seems I will actually keep a phone for a year.

I normally change my phones every 4 months.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Me too, but I like this one, just may be the keeper until my contract ends.
[HTC Amaze 4G] skugpezz:
My only problem with this rom is it doesnt have the crt lock screen animation.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
That sucks, asks the dev as a request, just might include it in his next update.
[HTC Amaze 4G] soblecram:
hope someone can help me.. got a mobilicity amaze. took the ota, and it fudged it.. managed to get back to a GB TMo image (currently at 2.3.4 1.43.531.3) I have s-off, unlocked boot loader, unlocked, and 4EXT installed. I have downloaded the TMO OTA for ICS (had to download from the forums and store it on my card, when I tried the OTA update, it said I had a customized version, and wouldn't continue)

What steps do I need to take to get ICS? Is it a simple matter of flashing the OTA zip using 4EXT? or do I need to do something else? I had ICS on my samsung captivate for so long, I just can't live with Gingerbread anymore..

Thank you...
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Since you're s-off, get the mobilicity gb Rom exe file, run it on a pc and restore your device via fastboot mode, re-update when that's done.

[HTC Amaze 4G] soblecram:
Thanks for your help!

so, get the RUU_Ruby_Dave_Ca file posted by football yesterday, update the ota to ICS (again - hopefully it doesn't screw it up again) and then I can install a custom rom through 4ext?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
That is correct.

My phone be ball'n
[HTC Amaze 4G] skugpezz:
Added a boot and downanimation to a rom I downloaded. Only the boot image worked :confused:
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
You probably have to edit the default.xml file or the animation has to be placed in a different folder than you currently have it in.

Read my post in the amaze bible thread on how to install your own boot/down animations.
