[HTC Amaze 4G] antiquezip:
I'm no mean an expert here but reading your frustration posts since yesterday, here's my 2 cents, you may want to try it or wait for more suggestion from others

* I've read somewhere that some "Demo" phone came with a "Demo" Rom, which, has no Hboot and Recovery

* Read this post and try to flash an ENG Hboot onto your phone. ENG Hboot for Amaze 4G can be found in the S-Off thread

* After suscessfully flashed ENG HBoot using ADB command, you can then use fastboot to flash back to stock then root normally or using AIO Toolkit again to flash custom Recovery

---------- Post added at 06:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:15 PM ----------

Ignore this please, since ENG Hboot can only be flash when S-Off'ed. I really have no worthy suggested at this point and sorry for that

---------- Post added at 07:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:26 PM ----------

There is a tool called Android Flasher (Google it) which you can use to flash Hboot onto your phone. As for the Hboot I think you can pulled it out from Stock RUU using 7Zip. Once you have Hboot on the phone, the rest will be easy. I think maybe your phone was a Demo one, which, unfortunately doesn't come with Hboot and Recovery hence the reason it doesn't "update" Hboot and Recovery when flashing RUU
[HTC Amaze 4G] jtkknj:
I have already flashed an RUU which completed successfully. Would this stock RUU still not flash HBOOT on my phone?

I am using the phone to type this.

I can power off and then hold vol down and power and the phone will do flash a red notification light up top. If I press down volume once then power it will reboot but I of course only see a.black screen.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
No it wont change it. It can only be changed after s-off. I would try to s-off. Jbear gives the option to flash a different hboot at the end of a successful s-off. Then hopefully you can finally get this thing rolling.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jtkknj:
Definately will.

I thought root was a prereq for s off though. I'll be trying it anyways.
[HTC Amaze 4G] antiquezip:
It's good to know that you are - at least - still have a Rom on your phone.

I think the reason why you don't have HBoot and recovery when flashing RUU is because what RUU does is just "updating" whatever img that your phone has on it and when it didn't detected Hboot and recovery, it just skipped updating those img. Long story short, I guess you are lacking HBoot and recovery on your phone. We may simply solv this by flashing stock Hboot and recovery onto the phone using tool such as Android Flasher. Again, I'm no expert on this and has never tried this before so take it with a grain of salt and do some research before give it a go, or, you can wait a little longer to get others' opinion. I don't want to be the one who bricked your phone by giving poor advices.

Be patient, at least you have a fully functional phone for now.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
I edited this out...

Good luck
[HTC Amaze 4G] Hanszoo:
Now I totally understand... I think :). Never have heard of this happening or have read where someone has lost the bootloader but yet phone still boots. There is the command with Hasoon's Amaze tool that will put your phone in the bootloader screen. If your still not able to view if you have tried this then hopefully someone else might have an answer for you as I have no other ideas to get you into the bootloader screen and making it visable. Good luck!
[HTC Amaze 4G] jtkknj:
Got S-OFF and JBear installed its own HBOOT but STILL NO HBOOT SCREEN!!!!!!!!

All I want is a rooted phone so I can throw a different ROM on here.

hboot screen looks like this...

bootloader

reboot

reboot bootloader

power down

the screen starts with the "bootloader" already selected...push volume down

1 time to select reboot

2 times to select reboot bootloader..etc etc...

push power to MAKE/activate the selection.

4ext recovery is touch based and since you cant see you may want to install clockwork mod from the market as you use the volume buttons for this too!

but i dont use it...(but i have! on this phone!! I just dont know how good it works reliable flashing etc)

maybe get a spare sd card and format it so we all know its blank.

then place the right file on the card

so we know its the only file

then you can count the volume clicks to the right choices.

heres hope for you buddy!... my suspicions are as follows.

flashing a different hboot using

the linked hassoons toolkit then CWM then a reboot may return your screen to power on during the times you need it...

BUT BUT BUT!!!!

i do not know if that is advisable or bad or perfectly fine...anyone else know?????

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scream4cheese:
You don't need a guide in your case.

Click here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2148337

There are two STOCK 4.2.2 roms in this thread. One is DEODEXED and the other is ODEXED.

I recommend downloading the DEODEXED STOCK 4.2.2 rom.

Here's the link to the DEODEXED STOCK ROM:

http://goo.im/devs/teshxx/Nexus7Wifi/Grouper-JDQ39_4.2.2-Deodex_Rooted-02-14-13-teshxx.zip

Download it, put it in your N7 and flash it via recovery. You won't lose any data and you don't have to wipe anything. Just flash and go!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pleasant:
I won't get error 7 ?

For installing this ?

And its not ota update how come it wont wipe data?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
1) make a full nandroid (cwm/twrp) backup

2) flash a 4.2.2 stock-derived ROM on top of existing ROM - no wipe

2.5) flash a minimal root kit (SuperSU or Superuser) if not in ROM in step 2 - no wipe

3) flash the same kernel you used previously - no wipe

4) profit!

No workie? Restore backup from step # 1 and try something else.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scream4cheese:
1. Have you read the thread?

2. No it won't give you an error. Why would it?

3. It's from the official OTA update. You just don't need to wipe anything. Trust me on this.

4. How come? I did this last night on my Nexus 7 and everything is just fine.

5. You won't get a bootloop or an error if you do exactly what I just told you.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pleasant:
For safety I made a full online nandroid backup as above suggested now the issue is I am trying to copy the backup on PC

But when I plug nexus 7 on PC

In clockworkmod folder the backup folder doesn't show up but in

File manager at tablet shows it :/
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scream4cheese:
There's no need to do that. But in spite of it, I can tell you that you can just create the nandroid backup and leave it in your device. Don't pull it out. Just flash the download in my previous post and if anything goes wrong. Enter recovery mode and restore your system. Even if you did pull the nandriod backup file from the N7 and the device fails to boot up, you cant just put the file back in to restore it that way. It won't mount so you can access the internal storage system.

P.S i don't know how to make the backup show up but i think there are a few thread here that some people have found a solution to it.

DA FAAK :o this thing worked :p :good:

i am finally upgraded to 4.2.2

tell me why this one didnt gave "7" error ?

Where this Guide was Hiding i have been looking for easiest method and this is what it is
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
I have had TWRP behave the same way - sometimes it will put backups in

/data/media/TWRP/...

and sometimes in

/data/media/0/TWRP/...

It is a bit of a mystery what causes this to happen. Strangely, when there is a folder in the first location, TWRP (2.4.1.0) will not find the second one. But, if I manually move the files from the first location (/data/media/TWRP) to the second location (/data/media/0/TWRP) using a file manager, then TWRP will find the backups no problem.

well, the "sdcard" mount point ( == /data/media/0/ ) is the thing that shows up on the PC via MTP mode, so I would just move the files to the second location. I'm not sure if CWM behaves the same way, but you will certainly be able to copy them from the N7 to the PC at that point.

good luck.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scream4cheese:
LOL. I told you it works.

There's one thing that you're missing from that update. And that is the bootloader version, the bootloader version that you're currently using is 4.13. The newest version is 4.18. You don't have to update it if you don't want to.

I'll include this link for you to flash the latest bootloader via command prompt.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scream4cheese:
Updating bootloader does not wipe anything. It simply replaces and updates the one you already have on.

Definition of a bootloader:

http://m.androidcentral.com/what-is-android-bootloader

Sideload? I think so.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chimpanzeexda:
boot(basically kernel) and system are usually what people mean 'custom ROM'. So if you just manually flash these two things(and usually need to be done together), none of your 'data' would be lost.

So just find these two images (usually .img) in whatever custom ROM you want and flash it.

This is the unix convention for a long long while and android is just linux :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pleasant:

If you want stock, find your stock ROM in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1617644

Rename it to PH85IMG.zip and put it onto your external SD card. Boot into HBoot and it should automatically install the stock ROM. To root your stock ROM, use Hasoon's toolkit. It is literally fool proof.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1493905

If you want a custom ROM, you'll need to install a custom recovery. Again, use Hasoon's toolkit and follow the instructions

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1493905

After installing a custom recovery, download and put the custom ROM onto your external SD card. Boot into recovery, go to "install from SD card" and select your ROM that you want to flash.

My display is not working correctly for some reason. I have flashed the stock RUU and unlocked the bootloader via the toolkit.

Now I am stuck because I cannot see the recovery screen to actually install the superuser.zip that the toolkit put onto my sdcard.

Do you see what I am saying here?

If I could simply see my HBOOT and recovery screens I would have this phone rooted in 1 minute. I am looking for a way to root manually via adv or another method because I cannot see the recovery screen to know what buttons to click.

i also use android ultimate toolbox to some basic adb commands with a UI from my windows 7 pc.

it also checks root flashed update.zips etc...check it out...it may help a bit as you can do some things quicker and more precisely with the UI than any command line...just remember some options are only for samsung (but they are marked with **)

If that's the international version Note II check and see what frequency's it supports,and compare to AT&T or T-Mobile's. International devices are not carrier locked

If it's a branded phone meaning you got it from your cellar carrier, It could be locked to that provider only.

If your using the unlocked phone, look up the specs on your device and see what it supports, if it matches up to the above frequencies you should be good
