(troubleshooting)
Im hoping this may help someone other then me, I was stuck trying to s-off the phone, for some reason, it would hang up on me when I would run controlbear, and then phone would boot to the bootloader, I could not get into recovery, could not boot up the phone at all.. So to fix,
1) relocked bootloader (using Amaze_All-In-One_Kit_V3.2) (look for your all in one kit for your phone the people that made it have several versions out, i did for my sensation as well, same process
2) using the Amaze_All-In-One_Kit_V3.2 I reflashed TWRP Recovery - in which using the all in one kit you can do from bootloader screen, and the program has commands using adb to get into recovery, bootloader, ect, just follow the instrustions on the program its really simple
3) booted into recovery and installed from zip, Energy_8.1.2012.Amaze.Sense.3.6_ICS_STOCK_LOOK or look for your specific energy rom, its really nice, probably one of the best that i have used as of Aug 8th 2012
4) then I rebooted into recovery, and installed from zip, (Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed) for Superuser access, phone is now rooted.
5) then to achieve the s-off, (unlimited.io/juopunutbear-public-beta-0-1/instructions]) and unlimited.io/juopunutbear-public-beta-0-1/instructions/htc-amaze/) for download of the files, now where I was messing up, I was downloading the wrong file to run Controlbear.
a)WINDOWS GB MD5 sums are inside the zip file (FOR GINGERBREAD)
b)WINDOWS ICS MD5 sums are inside the zip file (FOR ICECREAM SANDWHICH)
when I properly used the Icecream Sandwhich file then everything went smoothly, when i was using the GB on the ICS it would freeze up on HTC screen, it would not boot up the phone, it would lock my recovery in where I could not do anything, I had to pull the battery, then reincert, hold down the volume and power to get back into bootloader, then use the all in one program, reflash the recovery, then relock bootloader, and start process all over again, all because I downloaded the wrong program to get the s off, instead of ICS I was using Gingerbread, thats where the locking up is comming from on your s-off attempt ect, basically I was trouble shooting for a couple of days wondering why, and just the slightest oversight caused all my problems. If your following these instructions and did a search for the specific file names that I used then you will be using (b) as well.
if you were running into all of those problems, then you have start over, and relock bootloader ect, to fix everything, but if you have your unlock code in the Amaze_All-In-One_Kit_V3.2 program, it just makes things go 10x faster.
AFTER downloading WINDOWS ICS MD5 and place the contents in your folder you have ADB and Fastboot, run control bear and wait until it says do the wire trick, personally I used a thick twist tie you get off a loaf of bread, (make sure its thick enough, the first one I used was 2 thin and I could not get a short, found a thicker twist tie and worked perfect, when your touching the diagramed spot, basically you touch it twice, fairly quickly, say 1 mississippi then touch again quickly, and your good to go.. NOW youll have S-0ff
6)Go to ([sieempi.eu/blog/2011/09/22/universal-sim-unlock-for-s-offed-htc-devices-536]) and follow the instructions.
E-mail:
Phone type: HTC AMAZE tmobile
IMEI: (to get your IMEI # go to settings, about phone, phone identity or dial *#06#)
THEY WILL EMAIL YOU THE CORRECT FILE... put on root of your SD card, Once you’re there, navigate to Simlock and press Power. The phone will load the file and remove the simlock. Follow the instructions on the phone and reboot when it tells you to. If you get an "OpenCID File Fail" error, this is normal, proceed anyway! Some text will appear on the screen and at a certain point you’ll be asked to press Vol-Up to restart the phone. REMEMBER IF YOU GET "OpenCID File Fail" error ITS COMPLETELY NORMAL AND YOUR SIM UNLOCKED NOW
I cant add links to my post so on some spots youll have to add the h ttp, and the world wide web to start the address
basically after your "So far the phone does not boot, does not allow me into recovery and no fast boot. I can only enter things via microsd.
the device is unlocked but S-ON" youll have to reflash your recovery, then your rom, but to flash your rom, you have to relock your bootloader since your still s-on, once rom is flashed, unlock bootloader again, install superuser, then do the s-off steps again,
