I decided to try to install the rom without 4ext and its done and it works but the problem is that the wi fi wont turn on it keeps displaying this error message. And my data plan alsp won't work
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
What did you do exactly?
[HTC Amaze 4G] ranwal94:
As I said I have a S - On Rooted HTC Amaze. Without updating to ICS. I installed the 4.3.1 PACMAN ROM with TWRP 2.6.3 recovery and my HTC was stuck on the boot logo.

I then found this thread. And I didn't have 4ext and didn't know how to install it as my phone was soft bricked. So I did the following steps to get back to the stock GB ROM.

1) Downloaded the GB rom

2) Placed it in the external sd card.

3) Booted it into TWRP recovery

4) Formated all partitions except SDcard

5) Flashed the ROM with TWRP 2.6.3

The ROM works. But my Data Plan and Wi FI are not working, I have no way to access the internet

What I can do now is flash 4ext recovery through adb/fastboot. And then follow all the steps again.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
download this https://www.dropbox.com/s/ox16mtk02zoi3qf/PH85IMG.zip and place it in your ext.sd and go to the bootloader...it will flash 4ext for you..then go to 4ext enable smart flash and flash the GB rom again...looks like your modules and kernel have a problem :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] ranwal94:
Thank You. Now my Wi FI is working but my mobile internet still doesn't work. Will that fix after I install ICS? Or some other custom ROM?

How do I S-Off. Hasoon's Toolkits download links are no longer available. And does it matter if I've already rooted my phone?

Windows S-OFF Toolkit

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IT IS FOR WINDOWS AND JUOPUNUTBEAR DON'T SUPPORT WINDOWS ANYMORE. SO, USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is windows S-OFF toolkit.

All credits go to Hasoon2000 And Juopunutbear.

I did S-OFF with this and I could do it properly after 6-7 tries. But I didn't end up bricking the device.

Thanks Boss for this guide, it really helped.

For new users who want to do the wiretrick method, must read juopunutbear requirement.

1. Ubuntu should be 32 bit

2. and usb 2.0

you need to be very calm when doing wiretrick :D i did in 5th try. ;)

Gb rom

Hi all,

first time when i was trying to get s-off i bricked my phone then i flash the zip from the second post gb stock rom but it was stock rooted and s-off requirement is pure stock unrooted what to do now does this gb rom working on s-off process...?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Ali-Abdollah:
I had the same problem buddy :)

I was GB stock rooted and since in juopunutbear it says : "Verify - You are on Stock RUU (not FreshROM, Stock Rooted, HarmonyROM - none of these will work!)". Because of this, I unrooted my device. And when I wanted to S-off, I got a message reporting that you have to be rooted to perform S-off. So I rooted it again. And as you soon as you connect your phone to s-off, you have to grant the process root permission.

So, you HAVE TO be rooted in order to S-off.

You can download the hasoon's s-off toolkit windows version from here :

thNks for reply...

When i was doing s-off i insert 16gb mmc in my phone and follow the procedure of s-off.

i inserted it to my others phone but didn't work either...

And plz delate the link of s-off tool its no longer exist and its against XDA rule.

the thread for hassoon toolkit has been closed also there is no link to download the tools!!!!

What should i do????
[HTC Amaze 4G] Ali-Abdollah:
Go to gsmarena. Then search for HTC Amaze 4G. Click read all opinions. You'll find the link to hasoon S-off toolkit for windows which was posted by me there. Posting links here is illegal. So, you can get it in gsmarena :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] jawwad.barca:
Where do i find gsmarena?
[HTC Amaze 4G] pbergonzi:
gsmarena

You really must learn how to search.

Google will tell you where gsmarena is--it's "gsmarena.com"

Also, you can use Windroid Universal toolkit instead of Hassoon's if you like--use the search feature in xdadevelopers to find it.

There are instructions for what you are doing--you need to read and follow them.
[HTC Amaze 4G] deshwani:
too much long process.... s-off hai impossible on windows 7 using... can you post any easy guide?
[HTC Amaze 4G] rdar_93:
This is the easiest guide you'll get, sorry to say.

Patience is a virtue
[HTC Amaze 4G] deshwani:
but s-off process give here only for linux not for windows
[HTC Amaze 4G] rdar_93:
That is because the developers do not support Windows S-OFF anymore, it has too much bugs and could potentially lead to a lot of damages, such as permanently bricked devices.

Booting into Linux is not a hard thing to do, it is very very simple. It only seems hard because you are not sure how to do it, but if you do some reading about it and download the OS and burn it to a CD/DVD, you can change your boot order and either use the OS as a LiveCD where you do not need to install, but you can run it off of the CD itself or you can create a small partition to install the OS on to.

After that it's really simple, just go to the website where you find the tools for S-OFF and download it for your version of the OS (32 bit or 64 bit) and just keep reading through the forums.

Please attempt it, cause I'm very sure you did not try Linux.

It is not difficult.

The journey of 1000 miles begins with the first step.

And trust me, it will not take more than 2 hours to do this entire procedure.

Strange problem.

i tried the s-off, but after doing the "wire-trick" part the terminal says "The bear fell over". Can you please guide me.

One thing more, is there any difference in untaring files through terminal and right clicking on a .tgz file and extracting it?
[HTC Amaze 4G] pbergonzi:
still sober

means the operation was unsuccessful--your timing was probably off. try, try again. it took me a lot of tries.

---------- Post added at 11:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:17 AM ----------

Are you using the Amaze 4G--if not, the forum specific to your phone may be more helpful.

Have you used the video on youtube to show you the timing? I would think that it needs to be done again, however since that may not be correct and if you have satisfied the criteria for support, the unilimited.io people may give you some help:

http://unlimited.io/irc.htm

As for untar through terminal and right-click, I think there may have been rare instances where directory trees or permissions weren't consistent through the different methods. If your instructions recommend terminal, that might be the better way to go for the insurance of one less thing to be concerned with for troubleshooting.

From where i can get the stock rom or RUU for my HTC amaze 4g unbranded asian version
[HTC Amaze 4G] pbergonzi:
stop hopping, bunny

Bunny, please stop hopping around the forums asking for help. You get the stock RUU from the link I sent you several time telling you how to work with the Asian/Unbranded Amaze.

It is your job to read a little bit of the first post in this very thread. Step #6 has the link.

If you keep asking for help without reading any of the material you are given, how do you expect to do anything with your phone?

We can't reach through your monitor and fix it for you.

Maybe I should have you mail it to me!!! That was a joke.

Re: [GUIDE][GBtoICS] ATTENTION UNBRANDED/ASIA VERSION/INTERNATIONAL amaze owners read

I'm really not positive. It won't hurt anything to try. You are s-off so just download one of the T-Mobile gb ruu rename it to ph85img.zip, put it on your ad card and then reboot into bootloader and see if it propmpts u to install. Having a newer hboot version may prevent you from being able to flash the ruu though. But try!

Of course, once you followthe steps to flash the ics ruu, you can then flash custom ics and jb roms.

As for the sd card, the phone will only read the ruu from an external sd card. You can flash custom roms from internal but ruu only from external

dualboot. You can install ubuntu to run alongside windows without effecting your windows os

Sorry, i dint know it was taken down. I believe, i had download it from the same link a few weeks back. Found the setup. Thanks, i was about to ask you to see if u could upload if i had deleted the file.

@aj_2423: Could S-off be done by booting from the ubuntu live cd? I had tried that and the command runs fine and so does the device detection. However, even after a few trials i couldnt succeed as the timing was not perfect. It was around 3 am in the morning and i was half asleep. Didnt realize i had ubuntu installed on my old machine :P . Tried the Soff on that machine in the morning and hit gold in the first attempt :)

You need to root the device Dont worry about it. I was also a bit confused about following these steps. While at the S-Off step, i nearly though i had lost my phone as it failed to boot to the OS, but then a quick glance at the FAQ solved the issue, a simple command controlbear -r, i think, restored it back. All the steps are clearly given there mate. Just read through and go ahead with the upgrade. Its worth it. :good:

My phone is now SuperCID, on the bootloader it shows S-OFF, but it also shows LOCKED at the top.

i have fol questions:

i.) to install custom roms, is it neccessay to have root and unlocked bootloader

ii.) to root (permroot using hasoon2000 toolkit), is it neccessary to have unlocked bootloader and have recovery manager installed

iii.) can i now upgrade to custom jb rom from ics given no official jb exists for amaze
