You actually shouldn't need to unlock your bootloader to flash recovery since you are S-off (see attached pics of my phone). But Yeah man you are good to go. All you need to do now is flash a custom recovery, I recommend 4ext, then you can flash any custom ics/jb rom you want. you don't need a guide to flash roms though, it its pretty simple. Glad this one helped you though

so please tell me how to install ruu when i tried to install it says model ID is incorrect i am from pakistan please help
[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
Well you will need to use this guide and start with step one before you can get to flashing the RUU
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Salam. You are reading the wrong guide. There is an international version of guide. You have a international amaze, so you have to do it that way. There is no ruu for the international version, read the other guide and youll get ics soon! ;):cool:

Edit: the right guide on this thread argh. Just follow it and you'll be fine. It looks hard but it's easy it just takes some time. :D

I bought an Amaze 3 days ago and I'm going to try this and get it to ICS. I just wanted to ask, when I install the stock ICS, will it install a newer version of HTC Sense (e.g. 3.5 or 3.6) with it or will this just be the plain android interface and I have to get sense separately?

HTC Amaze 4G Restoration to original state

Dear aj_2423,

Thanks for your very comprehensive solution to revert back the htc amaze 4g to GB, purchased in Islamabad, Pakistan (044). I tried this on my amaze set. but it does not go beyond htc static green logo.

1. Bootloader is unlocked.

2. It is rooted and Super CID done.

3. S is off.

I followed all instructions, downloaded GB rom, put on SD Card, booted the set in recovery 4ext, smartflash enabled, completed formatting "Format all partitions except SD Card", lastly flashed the GB rom and rebooted the set. but the result is same, stuck on htc logo.

Will you help me in this situation. will be grateful.
[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
It sounds like you are mixing up post #1 with post #2. Post 1 & post 2 are to do two different things. What exactly are you trying to do? Upgrade to ICS or revert to GB? If you are trying to revert to GB you need to download a GB RUU and flash it through boot loader not the GB rom I have posted that's for something else. BUT, I DO NOT KNOW IF THE GB ROM IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE NEW HBOOT so be careful. If its not hopefully flashing an ICS RUU would bring it right back but I don't know.
[HTC Amaze 4G] AliKaramat:
Amaze 4g Restoration

Since I had already tried to upgrade my amaze to ICS without success and stuck at htc logo, I applied post 2 to restore it to GB state so that it could be detected by the PC. I tell you the full story. I unlocked its bootloader with htc code, and simply tried to flash 4-5 cutom roms downloaded from difference websites including speed rom 8, CM 9, CM 10, CM 10.1, etc. but none of these worked. I was told by a friend and then checked from xda-developers site that S was to be turned off. I got S-off and rooted it, then superCID done. none but Tmobile GB rom worked with the set but as I put sim card, it started demanding a code.

To get out of this situation, the post 2 was adopted and the result is same. Please advise where I can get GB RUU for my unbranded amaze 4g and what course is to be adopted to make it functional, may be in GB, if not ICS. Thanks a lot and would be able to provide further info if I could not explain adequately.

Dear, I have followed all instructions. installed ICS on my hTC Amaze 4G but it asks for SIM Unlock IMSI PIN. I got factory unlock code and entered but it does not work.

I have an htc amaze with stock rom with hboot 1.92.0000 (htc dev unlocked). I tried juopnutbear to S-Off my phone but it was stuck in the arrow screen. i gave up and tried all of the recovery methods but nothing worked. help me please

also i am using a liveCD and do not have the backup now. I am very scared please save my first phone. :crying::crying::crying:

I've S-Off Amaze using the juopuntbear method and installed ICS.

I've question can i still install GB Rom on my phone??
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
I highly recommend that you super Cid as well. Super Cid lets you flash roms from any carrier and your amaze doesn't have a carrier so you can see the point I'm trying to make. Yes I'm pretty sure you can still install custom GB roms on to your phone.
[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
Probably not. I would say no, but I have never personally tried soooo....

Running a ruu mite solve the problem :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] mawais15:

[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
There is a thread in the dev section with all the factory images (ruu) and you flash it the same way as in this guide. Name it ph85img.zip, place it on root of sd card, boot into bootloader etc
[HTC Amaze 4G] fneng:
Thanks

Brother thank you very much for noob-proof guide . I have updated my phone (Pakistan) to ICS. On GB i had 233 MB of free memory but on ICS i have 400 MB of free RAM.

I have one question ( I think you have discussed it earlier but i want you to add this step in guide if it is necessary ). After Updating to ICS i have locked bootloader. Now for flashing 4ext ,SuperU or flashing custom rom should i have to unlock it again. And everytime I flash a RUU my boot-loader will be locked?

BTW for s-Off i used paper-clip and tape.

Thanks again
[HTC Amaze 4G] droidbot678:
It means that I have to rename the downloaded file, which is RUBY_ICS_35_S_TMOUS_2.14.531.3_R2_Radio_1.14.550L.17DC_30.78.550L.15_release_262141_signed.zip to PH85IMG.zip right??
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
yes
[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
That is correct
[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
Once you have acquired s-off, unlocking the bootloader should no longer be necessary. But to figure it out for sure on your own, try flashing a custom recovery. If you can then no need to unlock bootloader.. If you can't, then ublock it, it's that simple
[HTC Amaze 4G] fneng:
Ok got it. Thanks and i ll report back

On the side note I am seeing alot pakistani wondering for ICS update . Thats because this set was about 350 $ 3 months ago and suddenly its price drop to 230$ on a single day. Thats why alot of people rush to buy this set because on the other hand S3 still cost 500$ :P. Let me tell all pakistani that there ll be no update for amaze 4g so dont keep yourself waiting . And dont be afraid of taking risk , because this risk is worth taking.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
Yea it'll be nice if you can bring some new users here cuz only a very few users have amaze ad their daily driver .. It'll be nice to see some new members who wants updates so developers won't feel their efforts are invain :)

Help regarding S-off

Dear XDA,

I have unbranded htc amaze with stcok GB.

I tried doing S-off after unlocking bootloader but stuck at wire trick.

The problem is that after multiple attempts the jaunuputbear says "waiting for device to settle......Please wait.." and then it doesnot move ahead.I have tried like more than 100 times but still stuck at waitng device is to settle.

i am using controlbear0.11beta for jaunuputbear for s-off on windows 7.

Help me please i am totally exhausted.
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Try switching the usb ports or blowing gently into the one you're using. Sometimes the usb isn't working the right way during s off. :) Good luck syed Ali danish bukhari
[HTC Amaze 4G] fneng:
its good to run this prog on Linux because the developers dont give support for windows version. But if you are really keen to try it and knowing all the risk of doing s-off on windows then search ControlBearRelease_ruby_GB_WIN.zip this file on google. I have s-off my device using that specific version. I hope it ll work for you. But again I am warning you that developers wouldn't give you support for whatever happen to your device

About HBOOT

i have successfully did all procedures and now my phone is s-off n rooted, thank you :)

i was using viper rom but i came back to HTC Amaze ICS RUU and i have updated it again by renaming it to PH85IMG now my hboot is 1.92.0002

and i have rooted it again by using SuperSu.

now my question is, is it necessary to do update hboot for flashing new roms ?? then how ??

and for to update i have to backup all data or what ?? bcoz i kept all my data in internal sd bcoz of its 16gb memory :P :)

Thank you :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Nope you can probably forget about the hboot once you have done all the steps. . :) You can backup via a nandroid with 4ext or twrp. (4ext highly recommend). Then restore later when you want to go back. (wipe all partitions first). ;)

Hello Rahull,

Did you try contacting your carrier first? I'm not sure how to fix this problem.

I think they can help you better. If you don't have an IMEI your phone is as good as a small tablet. Try and complain to them and see if they can help you. :good::) Maybe ravike14 can help, or aj.

Best of luck!

Thank you SuperAfnan for reading my problem.

It have IMEI but sometimes it shows and sometimes not and now after flashing Supersense it is not showing IMEI at all.

There is no doubt supersense is fast and good.
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
OK you might want to try and flash another ROM such as ARHD or Energy Rom because I have no idea how a ROM can impact the IMEI :confused:.

Maybe flashing another ROM can fix it. Sorry but I have no idea.

Download this ruu completely and after that rename it to PH85IMG.zip...

And put it on your SD card and then boot into your bootloader...

So far, I have successfully reverted back to Stock GB (working smothly), however when I tried to flash the Stock ICS everything was just fine except for during the parsing process I received error for 10. SYSTEM file and the error was failed UZ . Subsequently the whole updating process failed.

BTW I have S-off'ed and Super CID however after reverting back to Stock GB my bootloader is locked (again).
