[HTC Amaze 4G] ciolansteen:
Since I didn't find a guide to this, I decided to write one myself for those who want official support on their phones (rare but official :p)

******The usual, "I'm not responsible for anything wrong going on, bla bla" ******

So. As you may have already noticed, flashing T-MOBILE or other carrier's rom doesn't let you do OTA updating.

This happens because of the CID (carrier ID) / MID (model ID) information incompatibility (only rewriting CID isn't enough).

To change that, you will need unlocked bootloader, S-OFF, this HBOOT and official T-MOBILE RUU R2 (thanks for this links goes to aj_2423)

For the full GB to ICS guide, follow aj_2423's tutorial here

After you are done with the initial upgrade, go to bootloader (power off phone, take the battery off for ~5sec, put the battery back, keep the "VOL down" button pressed while you press the power button) and let's change "the birth place" of your phone :)

To check your CID status, use:

fastboot getvar cid

To write new (T-MOBILE US) CID, use:

fastboot oem writemid T-MOB010

(or other 8 digits CID)

To check your MID status, use:

fastboot getvar mid

Asian model has PH8510000

To write new (T-MOBILE US) MID, use:

fastboot oem writemid PH8511000

(or other 9 digits MID)

now you will be able to get OTA updates from T-MOBILE

a list of HTC CIDs is here

If anyone has the full MID list, it would be awesome to put that here too :)

UPDATE - seems that CID has nothing to do with the update process, since i just flashed OTA with superCID. The component responsabile for this remains MID wich found out that it is PH8511000 for all US/CANADA versions of Amaze

Enjoy! :)

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Myrloc:
I have anther thread, but it's under a different subject, so here it goes..

I was having issues installing a new recovery, and now I'm afraid that I have no system at all.

If I try to just turn the phone on, it's stuck at the HTC splash screen. If I try boot into bootloader, it goes straight to recovery.

When in recovery, I have the error codes:

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

I have no idea what this is from or how to fix it.

I've wiped data/factory reset, wiped all cache and now I'm completely stuck :crying:

Please help!

Also, when I'm booting, the button lights at the bottom flash a number of times before it will actually boot into either screen.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Myrloc:
I've tried to push a ROM onto the sdcard, but there aren't and devices detected. HTC Sync is installed as well as a fresh SDK. No idea why the phone can't be detected. I'm trying to detect it from the recovery.

OK, GOOD news, I think!

I finally got into the bootloader after holding it down forever. The phone is detected in fastboot.

And way I can flash a ROM from here?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crushalot:
It is possible but much harder since it would have to be in flashed in RUU mode and this can be dangerous and you will need S-off. First since you have a working fastboot, did you try flashing a new recovery from the fastboot steps I provided in post #8 of your other thread?

Do you have S-off? If so I can provide what is needed to flash the RUU in fastboot.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Myrloc:
I have flashed a new recovery, but Clockwork is the only recovery that will work.

And no, It's not S-off
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crushalot:
OK, well TWRP allows you to sideload a rom, but I am not sure about CWM. A Sideload is going to be easiest, but if we can't get that going we can flash a rom in fastboot using RUU. Please answer these questions: First

Since you have a custom recovery I assume you have an unlocked bootloader, correct?

Do you have s-off?

When the phone is detected in fastboot, and you issue the command:

fastboot erase cache

What is the exact console output?

When the phone is detected in fastboot, and you issue the command:

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

(TWRP being the latest TWRP recovery img file)

What is the exact console output?

---------- Post added at 07:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:48 PM ----------

OK, I saw your reply about having s-on. That's a bummer because it means we can't just flash a RUU in fastboot RUU mode.

Can you please download the latest TWRP 2.6.0.1 and rename it to twrp.img and place it in your adb/fastboot folder (platform-tools)

Now with phone connected and detected in fastboot

fastboot boot twrp.img

It should load up a working copy of the TWRP recovery without installing/flashing it to your recovery partition.

If we can get that up than maybe we can then use sideload to push a ROM.zip and install it.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Myrloc:
I don't have S-off

This is the exact output:

I can't boot into recovery now with twrp. I'll to to boot in from fastboot

Trying to boot twrp from fastboot results in the splash screen and then a black screen (phone turns off)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crushalot:
Weird. What is the error when you try to boot into recovery now that we flashed TWRP. I know sometimes I have had to reboot several times before it would properly boot into the recovery.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Myrloc:
There's no error, it's just the HTC splash screen with the small text on top and bottom and then the screen goes black, which I suspect is the phone turning off
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crushalot:
Was there a working rom on the phone before the recovery troubles. I know that having the fastboot option selected in settings>power menu will not allow a proper boot to recovery.

You are disconnecting the cable after flashing the recovery before trying to boot into it? Have more than 50% battery?

If you don't have any rom installed or data on the phone you could try to erase all the partitions where roms put data:

fastboot erase boot (this will erase the kernel and initrd)

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase userdata

However be aware that we would need to install a rom or in this case flash images of those areas from a working system, backup or extracted RUU in order for it to work.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Myrloc:
I think those are my only options now. I've tried rebooting into recovery a few times with no luck. It's normal for it to have

"Entering Recovery...

This build is for development purposes only. Do not distribute outside of HTC without HTC's written permission. Failure to comply... etc."

On the top and bottom of the recovery HTC splash screen, right?

I really appreciate this help. This is a pretty new phone and by best phone I've had, and I'd hate to have screwed it up in a matter of minutes.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crushalot:
Yes normal for Entering Recovery to show at top.

Same for the red warning text, it is showing because you have custom recovery installed.

Let me think about it and lets see if any other members weigh in. You have a working fastboot, so we should be able to get you back working again.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Myrloc:
You give me hope!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Myrloc:
Shouldn't I be able to follow these directions..

That just means I'm going to lock it again.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crushalot:
You sure you unlocked your boot loader and kept it unlocked? Did you use htcdev.com/token method or a different method.

We may be able to use a RUU. I am stupid for not asking. What are you details like: Location and carrier. If you are on one of the devices for which there is a RUU, then we can use it. If there is no RUU for your device then it is much harder to use the RUU method at all because you are S-on.

Get me this:

What country and carrier?

Output from a fastboot session where you issue the command:

getvar all

This way I can see the info needed for RUU search like CID and such.

Be sure to cut/blur/etc out your serial number and imei cause you don't want that floating around.

I think we can get you up and running.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ajxx16:

Yeah, I can more or less get CMW to work and the issue is the phone won't boot up, it just sticks at the HTC splash screen, so I think the /system was formatted. I didn't see a usb storage option lat time I checked, but I do remember them having it on my EVO 3D. I'll check again if this RUU option doesn't work.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crushalot:
Yes. Just have your phone connected in fastboot and run the RUU.exe, it will flash everything back to stock.

PS - You should delete out these three lines from your info:

Would the RUU have flashed a recovery with it?

by using odin? right? i just did that, and now i get stuck at the 4G screen. what else do i do?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
What 4g screen? What root method did you use?

You need to odin back to stock, then root your phone again. The newer methods don't always successfully unlock your Bootloader, so you may have to do it manually.

Download ez unlock version 1.2 from a website, then open it and verify it says unlocked. If it says unknown or locked, then hit the unlock button.

Then flash your recovery just like you did before and everything will work properly.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
Yes, but if you're on 4.0.4 you might want to take the ota then root.

Or you can use the rootdebug method, it's an old rooting method but will work if you're on ics.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidj:
thanks for everything. after i root i'll get everything set up and start flashing. what is your recommended path of rooting? also, a good rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
Either way is fine, but I'd most likely take an ota update then use beans casual method.

Rom choice is all personal preference, read all the threads and look for the features you'd want. Most of the roms are very good.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidj:
said ofwasng

so root, unlock bootloader, flash a recovery, then a rom?

I have them both fully working and ported to their rightful Verizon applications for the SG3, and would like to try and possibly get them working on this phone as well.

It's very cumbersome building a ROM/MOD/theme/etc. for a device you don't own, as things can't get done nearly as fast, and sometimes not at all. Having some willing to test, we can ideally link up on Gtalk to help move things along.

Did it work?

I am very new to this and in the past my older brother was taking care of all my "technology problems" :). I just bought one for myself, since I have just lost my old huawei..... I am currently still in china, but planning to go back to germany. I really want to get my google account restored/google market. I read a lot of threads regarding this topic, but still want to clarify some questions. I would rly appreciate ur help/input.

I know that in order to get google market running on the huawei g525, u will need to root the phone. Once it is rooted u will need to find a english/german android version ROM for the phone. There seems to be some talking about entering the recovery mode somehow (i dont rly understand this step). After the ROM is on the phone, u can download google market and access ur google account?

Here goes my questions :)：

1.) How to root my phone? Special program needed or pressing three key combo (volume + power + call)?

2.) Where to find a english/german android version ROM? On the website of Huawei? How to install it?

3.) Further steps?

Apparently there is another way to this all, by using a SD card and some kind of recovery zip:

Last option that i read was after rooting ur phone and installing 2-3 apk files.:

These are the steps:

1.Make sure your phone rooted and the R.E Explore been installed

2.Make sure you have GoogleLoginservice.apk and GoogleserviceFramework.apk

3.Copy the 2 apk(GLoginservice and GserviceFrame) into your SD card.

4.Open RE.Explore and find the 2 apk(GoogleLoginservice.apk and GoogleserviceFramework.apk), Copy them.

5.Paste them into System/App.

6.Restart your Phone.

7.You can login gmail/gtalk/Google play with your Google account now!
