RESTORING TO STOCK FIRMWARE/ROM HTC AMAZE 4G

If you have an S-ON HTC Amaze running a custom recovery and ROM, then you might run into some trouble when attempting to revert your HTC Amaze to entirely stock, factory configuration. Most of the information available online is either incomplete or entirely incorrect. As such, I thought that it might be helpful to list the steps I needed to complete before I could successfully rollback my HTC Amaze and use HTC's official ICS update. The software mentioned in this guide is Windows specific.

0) Download and install the HTC Drivers from here.

1) Download the "HTC Amaze 4G All-In-One Toolkit V3.2" from here. Launch the application and run the "Mainver Error Fix" - this will allow you to downgrade. Next, use the "Relock Bootloader" command; you will not be able to downgrade unless you run this step. Be sure, if you have SuperCID, to revert that as well (you will know if you configured SuperCID or not).

2) Download the stock system image "PH85IMG_Ruby_TMOUS_1.43.531.3_Radio_1.08.550L.19DC_30.66.550L.08D_release_228638_signed.zip" from here. I suggest using "http://www.hlusoe.info/hotfile" to speed up the download.

3) Rename the file to "PH85IMG.zip" and place it in the root of your SD card (it will not be read from your internal memory, you must use an SD card).

4) Turn off your device and remove the battery. Reinsert the battery and simultaneously hold the volume down and power buttons (to boot fastboot). 

5) Fastboot will detect the image file on your external storage. After it completes loading, accept the "update" - this will revert you to stock (including recovery and radio).

6) Now, after the process completes, you will be able to run the "HTC Software" OTA update for ICS.

If you have any questions, need clarification, or have suggestions of your own, please post to this thread - I hope this information is useful.

  1. I followed the directions exact, but got my recovery file from hasson's site. while running the new file at the end I get a message saying update failed. then something like main is older. is it ideal to use 2.3.4?

  2. I got the stock rom installed and was able to root, but when i go into the bootloader it tries to install the ph85img file every time. ive tried to install different roms and they always fail. does the custom rom need to named ph85img to install?

  3. Sorry to keep posting here, but i realized when i googled the rom in the article and i ended up downloading the first ICS update and the radio version ends in 17D and none of the ones listed in the factory list are like that. and my hboot always looks for the ph85img. so i downloaded the correct one and im hoping to get it fixed the right way. downside is that i had already rooted and completed S-off. I did invest in titanium backup though and now hopefully im on the right track cause the current rom would not allow me to install any other custom roms.

  4. after installing the correct factory rom, root and twrp recovery wiped. hboot still seeks ph85img file. after OTA ICS update, hboot still seeks ph85img. bootloader is relocked and S-off remains. I guess no custom roms for me, but i guess atleast i can receive OTA updates from tmobile.

    4. I was trying to upgrade my rom. By mistake jumped to the JB direct. Tried doing S-Off but failed. After that reverting to old roms didnt work for me. Even tried using ruu roms from t-mobile, asia version with locked boot loader. But it always get stuck on 2 green arrow after rebooting. Lastly i tried pushing recovery (twrp, 4ext) and then flashing custom roms along with un signed rom for unbranded asian phones. But my phone get stucks on the htc logo.

      i tried almost all things i read on XDA forums, here and followed step by step but so far no luck. As my phone get stuck on the htc logo.
