Help for a patient noob

Hi

I have a Ruby PVT SHIP S-ON RL, H.Boot 1.90.0004 UNLOCKED Amaze 4G with TWRP v.2.3.0.0

I have installed various 2.3.4 ROMs with success but have as of yet not had any success with OTA updates or ICS, JellyBean.

Please let me know if I understand this correctly.

This is what I need to get CM 10 going on my amaze:

Faux Kernel

CM 10 Rom ZIP

I've tried most things from factory reset to leaving the battery out before flashing, but can't seem to get the ROMs to boot (even after leaving them for hours on end to 'settle in').

Any stepwise help appreciated.

:eek:
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
Do NOT flash a custom kernel with CM10. Faux is for ICS and GB only. Your phone will not boot properly..Also make sure you have flashed at least one ICS ROM, such as the leaked update, as I believe it updates the bootloader and CM10 may not work without that.
[HTC Amaze 4G] forkrula:
Thanks for the fast reply. I've tried the leaked update, several times, but all the zips seem to fail in recovery (although the MD5s check out).
[HTC Amaze 4G] es0tericcha0s:
Unless you are S-Off, there is really no point to using any other recovery besides 4EXT. With the Smart Flash feature, it grabs the boot.img (kernel) and flashes it separate for you instead of you needing to send the kernel via fastboot. Otherwise, if you are stuck on the splash screen (the white HTC logo - not boot animation) with softkeys lit that DOES mean that it will not boot up. The keys don't light till the end of the boot animation and it is actually starting to boot completely. You will have to boot up into fastboot and flash kernel from the rom to resolve. If you need help with that, lemme know. The instructions shouldn't be hard to find if you don't already know.
[HTC Amaze 4G] dcacklam:
That is kind of bad, guys...

If 2 CM10ed Amazes end up behind the same router...

Perhaps one should be using the MAC address their phone had when it was stock, not everyone entering that one....
[HTC Amaze 4G] phoenix79:
See my post from a couple pages back. There is a fix
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
Most people would recommend using 4Ext Recovery, especially if your device is S-On. The Smart Flash option is for those who do have S-On, and can flash anything without problems. I would give that one a try if you don't have it already.
[HTC Amaze 4G] forkrula:
Ok I've flashed 4ext again, but for both the Cyanogen 10 and Energy ROMS, the ROMS install, then keeps boot looping (HTC + Cyanogen then reboot, and HTC + Beats Audio then reboot, respectively).

Is this a kernel issue? Speedboot 7.8 seems to be the only OS I could get to load, but it keeps hard resetting randomly within the first five minutes.:cyclops:
[HTC Amaze 4G] es0tericcha0s:
It's gotta be because you haven't updated to the ICS bootloader then. I believe your next steps would be to relock and then you can flash the update, unlock again, flash 4ext and then CM10.

Touchscreen, Hardware Overlays, the sound of volume coming through earpiece during a call, all of that is fixed as well?

Edit:

I guess I'll download the latest version and see for myself.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
All of that always worked

[HTC Amaze 4G] phoenix79:
I also had problems sound through the earpiece during a call, also the speakerphone, and sound through BT. All of those devices would show as connected/active/etc. but there would be no sound

Oddly enough, BT in my car could dial, and end calls, but no sound.
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
Sound in calls works fine for me. I have no way to test it via Bluetooth, though.

I am experiencing random screens of death. Sometimes the screen is backlit but black, and won't dim or turn on and the capacitive keys are lit up; it's just stuck like that. And other times it's just plain black, no backlight, no capacitive key lights, nothing, it won't even turn on. I've had to pull the battery a few times in the last couple days. Not a major problem, however, the lag is. I think this is a problem with the CM source, as my girlfriend's Fascinate with CM10 has the lag too. At times her capacitive keys stay perpetually lit after the screen shuts off, though that seems to be a Fascinate-only issue.
[HTC Amaze 4G] bos2333:
Yeah, that's why I had to reluctantly switch to something else...I loved cm10 but the screens of death were too frequent, and almost made me late for work twice.
[HTC Amaze 4G] dcacklam:
Well... Tried it today... Thought I'd play with the phone & see if I could fudge data into working...

Nope... But that's where everyone else is, too...

So I'm back to SR7.8.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ifatalityx:
Then I have high hopes for the 4.1.2 update that should be coming out/ announced this week at the Android press conference.
[HTC Amaze 4G] exynos5250x:
Push the cm10 hercules(tmo sgs2) ext.jar, make a phone call and data will turn on for 2-3min then turn off again.
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
I've heard of this, is it still considered JB? How long would it be before CM got ahold of this?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Mystery?:
What if the TI WiFi Source Code which was just released could help us get data running?

I mean like it might have code in there that has been disabling the data but we never knew cuz we never had the source code? cuz whenever you turn on WiFi it freezes/disables data? just a thought.

Hopefully, that's how easy it is to fix data. Looking forward to making this my daily driver once data is fixed.
[HTC Amaze 4G] JonathanBarca10:
4.1.2 is still Jelly Bean, its just Jelly bean MR1...and the latest CM10 for the Nexus is already 4.1.2 so i think theyre on top of it...its not a whole lot of changes anyways.
[HTC Amaze 4G] eggydrums:
I have 4.1.2 brings one finger expanded notifications
[HTC Amaze 4G] forkrula:
How do I relock again? Can I via 4ext?

---------- Post added at 05:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:58 PM ----------

Ok, managed to relock it. but now, in the bootloader I can't seem to get it to autoload the PH85IMG anymore, suggestions?

It says, relocked, security warning at the top.
[HTC Amaze 4G] tppickles:
make sure the PH85IMG.zip file is on your EXTERNAL MICRO SD CARD and it should load up and ask if you want to restore.
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
This. And you will likely have to root again but at least it's much easier now.
[HTC Amaze 4G] skewty:
CM10 progress post HTC TI source code release

So with the HTC TI source code release we should have a new build coming soon. (See: Source code release thread)

Does anyone understand why data fails? (GSM, WiFi and Bluetooth are all in the working section on the OP.)

Is GSM "fully working"? I am assuming with this new source code both WiFi and Bluetooth should be "fully working".

I have also read about the black screen of death issue. Does anyone know the cause of this?

Thanks,

Scott
[HTC Amaze 4G] josegalre:
very good rom. but thought build JB AOKP in the future?
[HTC Amaze 4G] bos2333:
Waiting for data to be stable and I'm assuming a fix for the bluetooth/screens of death first.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Bluetooth works on this i believe
[HTC Amaze 4G] bige914:
Hey sports what do you think is causing the data issue? Just curious I wanna help any way I can.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
ril
[HTC Amaze 4G] bos2333:
Not for phone calls. It connects but there's no audio.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Hmm have to work on that i don't have a bt device though
[HTC Amaze 4G] bos2333:
If you have something for me to test let me know, I have a couple. Did you see the post in the working with data thread by chance?

I'm running your sense 4.0 right now but I have a backup of CM10 I can go back to if needed. I'd be on it still even without data/bluetooth if it weren't for those damn screens of death though.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
the only thing that that does is lower the minimum ril version requirement
[HTC Amaze 4G] bos2333:
Gotcha. Have any ideas what it could be in the RIL?
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
It's probably calling something sense specific that doesn't exist in aosp what we really need is the ril source code which isn't under gpl so htc won't release there modified version
[HTC Amaze 4G] bos2333:
Awesome. So it's either a file we need to add or a line we need to change...or both?
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Could be right now i'm experimenting with different rils last resort will be to dive in to the cm ril source
[HTC Amaze 4G] dibarreir:
I am trying to find setting to disable haptic feedback while typing in browser, texting, etc but the only way I can do it is to enable quiet hours. Is this setting located anywhere else where I can perm remove it.

Edit:

Found it sorry
[HTC Amaze 4G] forkrula:
Ok, I've relocked, now I can't seem to flash anything, PH85IMG.zip isn't even check and I just get this screen:

*** RELOCKED ***

*** Security Warning ***

RUBY PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-1.90.0004

eMMC-boot

etc...

Please tell me step by step, how I can get back to a functional bootloader - I can't launch recovery anymore even, seems like I've gone backwards.
[HTC Amaze 4G] misfit61871:
You need to be s-off to flash the PH85IMG.zip.

Sent from the morgue.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xXchrizhurtyXx:
You have to name the RUU to PH85IMG and put it on your ext-sd card.
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
This. It is important to have the name and location correct. Boot into fastboot again and you should be golden.
[HTC Amaze 4G] forkrula:
No idea why this didn't work the first couple of time, eventually got it to update. Thanks!
[HTC Amaze 4G] dcacklam:
Just something I noticed in another unrelated thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1694585

Deals with trying to add WiFi Calling to another TMO phone... The patch used killed data, until a library from the original rom was inserted over the one bundled by the patch...

I'm not a dev - but it seems like the 'linked to sense files' thing may be accurate WRT the HTC RIL.
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
Another reason why I dislike Sense. It's frickin' got it's grubby little fingers in EVERYTHING. Remove Sense and damn near everything falls apart.
[HTC Amaze 4G] dcacklam:
Sense and Touchwiz remind me of 'Packard Bell Navigator' from the Windows 3.11 days....
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
Oh, man, you just reminded me how old I am.

You can't miss the bear.
[HTC Amaze 4G] morrislee:
Just like to point out, you dont need to relock the bootloader for anything or even RUU unless your intention was to send it back to factory repairs.

RUU an unlocked bootloader, it will remain unlocked.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Ventus_zx:
Is this rom supported anymore?
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Oh my god yes
[HTC Amaze 4G] Mashkawizii:
Sport you ever tried porting it from the Ville/one s? Just to see if it'd work? That might show us quite a bit if you just got it working from Ville then tried getting data from there.

Or just take all the gsm and data files from the Ville and fix it like that.

XMBell
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Winzip ports are useless
[HTC Amaze 4G] Ventus_zx:
WHat do you mean?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Mashkawizii:
I'd like to know myself, wish someone would look at my suggestion, sport got sense 4 data working from Ville so he could get cm9 I bet, I think it'd be easier with everything from the one s

XMBell
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
What i'm saying is it would probably work it's just that a port from a different device without building it from source is useless you can't get it made official and it's just a dirty way of doing things. I however will look into it and if data does work i will release that unsupported build.

On the port topic... A fully working cm9/cm10 would really be awesome. Unofficial or not. So thanks for looking into it sportsstar!

People are 'funny' about it because the Newsies are playing it up as 'Hurripocalypse 2012!'....

I'll save any musing until we get through next Tuesday without a 'voter supression' lawsuit citing the hurricane....
[HTC Amaze 4G] Mashkawizii:
@Sport yea, however, most flagship fones get cm anyways...

XMBell
[HTC Amaze 4G] dcacklam:
At least based on what I've seen in threads for other HTC devices, sense is 'woven into' the stock implementations of, well, everything including the RIL...

Which would mean that moving to AOSP is a totally different beast from upping the sense-version, as it's possible that Sense 4 uses the same interfaces to these lower-level functions as 3.6 - whereas AOSP doesn't...
[HTC Amaze 4G] Y2Ne1:
I really love this rom but

i have 3 amaze so i installed this rom and looks amazing but when do you think it will be fully working ?

ik i ask to much but i blame it on you for having a epic rom up lol :good: Thanks again for your hard work ^_^ sportsstar89
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
They are working on fixing data, however since the only available stock ROM for our phone is Sense-based, they have no example to go by or draw from to get data working. As explained in the post above yours, Sense is literally entangled in EVERYTHING in the ROM, so getting data to work on AOSP, without Sense, is like expecting a plane to fly without wings.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mischivo:
This is why I'm probably abandoning this phone in the next few weeks and ordering the Nexus 4. I should be able to recoup at least 200 bucks on my Amaze + 16GB memory card. If I had only known that HTC and Sense are such major headaches to devs... :(
[HTC Amaze 4G] Perry977:
Nexus 4 is sweet but no extended storage which sucks
[HTC Amaze 4G] Migwickert:
Yeah, I was considering this move as well.
[HTC Amaze 4G] daswahnsinn:
I love Sense, but this is the first time, for me at least, that it has been such a d!ck when it comes down to developing.
[HTC Amaze 4G] misfit61871:
Ya, I think this will be my last HTC device, I hate sense and want a phone that is pure AOSP and that nexus 4 is looking pretty sweet.

[HTC Amaze 4G] Ashcunak:

[HTC Amaze 4G] ifatalityx:
Once again not to sound like a prick, but since data is at a hault again. Do you or pretty much anyone else wanna try and look into the following bugs.

- Camera being upside down on the first shot.

- Hardware Acceleration

- Rendering games has this ghost image

- Video Playback on the defualt player

- Video Capturing

As of right now (besides data) those are the only things I can see that is a "hassle"

You mentioned it was already fixed, but I am on the latest download and still seeing the issue. Also I'm now using the Camera/Gallery from 4.2 and it's awesome. Photo Sphere works and all, but of course since the first shot is turned it gets really frustrating. No rush or anything, but keep in mind that's something.
[HTC Amaze 4G] josegalre:
Aokp jb m1....

+1...

and would be great to build with: JB AOKP M1 ....

ROM CONTROL strange.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Mashkawizii:
Except the ville is an unofficial port so it has data working similar to the way it would have to work for our device which is why I think its such a good idea, just my thoughts.

XMBell
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
That had occurred to me as well, though as long as I'm unemployed I'll be stuck with my Amaze for a while. Not that it's a bad thing, since it's still a great phone even compared to the newest ones, but let's be honest here: hoping to get $200 for this phone at this point is probably unrealistic. The value of it goes down even more when there's phones like the One X and Galaxy S3 taking center stage. Everyone wants the latest and greatest. There IS, however, the fact that if it's unlocked and rooted, you'll find a buyer a lot easier.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mischivo:
I've been scouring the local Craigslist for the phone to see what the market will bear, and found that none are offered for less than $270 CAD. I'm assuming those are new or in like-new condition. Mine has a few scuffs on it and doesn't have the original Wind Mobile box. I put a test listing up for the phone plus a bonus 16GB microSD card (I figure I won't need it since I'll be getting a Nexus 4). $200 dollars as list got three inquiries within two hours. When the time comes, I'll list it at $250 to give me room to negotiate down when they see that it has a few scratches on it.

But whatever money I make is better than none at all. I can't deal with this phone anymore. I was talking with a potential client yesterday and the phone decided to reboot itself. Not a good impression. A couple weeks ago, while shooting a wedding, I discovered that the phone decided to unlock itself in my pant pocket and had been updating close to a dozen apps via a very tenuous data connection for quite a while, all with the screen on.

Even the supposedly stable Sense 3.6 stock or stock-like ROMs aren't much better. They're either bloated, poor on battery life, or don't work well. Sense always manages to make the wrong phone number "primary" for contacts with more than one number, despite multiple attempts to set it right. MMS hasn't worked in half a year, on any ROM.

On top of that, I really like Google Now from what I can see in this ROM. I think that time I have spent in the last 10 months meddling with this phone, and the time I know I'll be spending in the future, is worth much more than the price of a new Nexus 4.
[HTC Amaze 4G] GuyInDogSuit:
Good point. Sorry to hear you had all those problems. In my case, I count myself lucky that I haven't had problems like that, except with CM10, which is really kind of buggy anyway. $270 is actually pretty damn good, better than I was expecting. If I had a job at this time I'd be tempted to trade for something else at that price. I agree that HTC phones as of late have been... what's the word... well, they're technologically advanced and all, soundly built, but their Sense software is lacking in a lot of ways, and there are always little naggling problems that come with it, like the ones you brought up, the worst one being all the useless bloat. The only thing good that EVER came of Sense was their Camera app; compared to the AOSP one, it does, indeed rock. I could care less about all the other "features" of Sense, like the "pocket" ringer volume adjustment, never worked right for me. The lost phone finder, easily replaced by another, better app. Fast Boot? Causes more problems than its worth. Beats? Installable from the Play Store. The fact that you are stuck with Sense when you buy an HTC device, really SUCKS. I don't see why they do not offer the Google/AOSP alternative. Would that really be asking too much of them?

It seems HTC has no intentions of keeping up with this phone, just threw something together to line the pockets till the one s dropped. The job these devs have done with what little HTC has given has been down right amazing. These threads especially in development should be a lot less criticism, and more about praise and being thankful for what they do provide for Free. They deserve it!
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrgwap:
Yeah bravo devs.... Ur work is appreciated. I hate HTC for not at least giving the devs Wat they need to get things to work if they don't want to put attention into the amaze. I thought I would like sense cuz of so much hype for the evo and evo 3d. I was a long time Sammy customer wanting to try something new. I sense is garbage and ics is so laggy and buggy on this phone. Then the light bleed on the bottom yeah I turn it off but I would like to use it. I'm never gonna get another HTC phone back to Sammy or potentially the next nexus..

[HTC Amaze 4G] thundertroy:

Ha. Yeah I had the Samsung vibrant. We got screwed pretty good. And development was weak for almost a year after release before it took off. I think gb was out for about 5 or 6 months before we officially got froyo -_- ha. I gotta say I still miss the vibrant some days, but the development there is just nuts now. They've got that device figured out. It'll just take time. And as far as working on multiple projects... From what I remember sometimes it helps to see the issue from several 'angles' if you will so while I'm still craving a sense 4,or cyanogenmod fully functional I know that takes time and it beats a single core running eclair! Ha nah I took this gb stock over the sensation running ics aosp. This is just a good phone in my opinion.
