This does NOT work, I've been trying and trying for hours to get the computer to recognize the phone, and it just says android 1.0 no driver found.

Do you have the required drivers/software installed?

Yes, I downloaded the 3 things it asked for on the htcdev site. Java, htc sync, and the sdk. Everything is in the folders ready to go, but the driver fails installing when I hook my phone to it, I tried uninstalling, re installing, on fastboot, bootloader, with the phone on and charging, usb mode, htc sync mode, and nothing. The CMD prompt just sits there waiting on the phone.

When I go to the HTCDev site and select the model, which the Amaze isn't available, I just click and download the HTC sync link below the picture to the right without having to pick a phone, is that correct, because that's what I've been doing.

Just making sure
I'm in the "Unlock Bootloader" segment. After downloading the SDK files the HTC site goes off onto a long trail of "dl Eclipse" "dl JDK" "run SDK installer".
Looking at the tutorial it looks like you just dl the 3 main files and then next thing you know your removing the battery and going into boot mode.
Am I suppose to veer off into this HTC "Eclipse, JDK" tangent?
Or is it not a tangent at all and this is really all that involved?
I have no experience with this so I am asking to clarify for obvious reasons.
Thank you for your help!

Wow idk where to start.
First and foremost, make sure you have installed SDK manager and the HTC drivers. Sorry, I don't have a link for that.
Then on HTC dev, it walks you through unlocking bootloader for amaze. The instructions are rather clear there.
If its that difficult and u don't have time to learn what you're doing, I wouldn't do it. If u feel u must, then use Hasoon2000's All in One toolkit man.

adb debugging, or usb debugging? I have usb debugging set.

Also it's still not recognizing the drivers when I plug my phone in and it installs.

It says "no driver found" So I keep uninstalling it through computer>properties>device manager, when I plug the phone to the computer it says installing drivers: Android phone. it fails every time, and shows up as android 1.0 in my device manager. I have all the prerequisites installed. I've done this a hundred times on different phones, I don't get it.

Sorry I meant USB debugging.
Mount your phone as a disk drive and see if that prompts any more driver installations. You don't have all drivers installed if you're computer isn't recognizing your device. Type "adb devices" in command prompt. You should see your seriel number show up.
Do a search for HTC drivers and SDK
That's all I got

Try again using 4ext. Make sure you format all partitions except sd from recovery wipe menu, then try again

Search Market/playstore for 4ext. Then flash the recovery from the app. There's a thread in dev section

Go to www.4ext.net and download the recovery and flash it via fastboot
All these girls excited Oooo ya know they like it I'm so icy, so icy

Uncheck and recheck debugging... I wanna say that's how I did it one time before. I had same problem with mt4g when I was rooting. Fingers crossed

Hey I'm here again lol I keep getting an error when I turn on wifi it doesn't let me turn it on

I'm done helping noobs that are too lazy to search how to fix one of the most common FAQs of this device. People aren't even trying to learn anymore. Its ridiculous that we have to hold people's hands through this. Learn on your own by reading or stay stock. Smh :banghead:
I will continue supporting 4ext thread, but that's it. A wise man predicted weeks ago via pm to me that this would happen. Rule #1 of xda... Search before posting. But why would I think anyone would read the rules. If I was a mod I'd be serving temp bans all day. I'm no longer checking this thread.

41This is a very simple device to root.
However if you root this device it will likely void your warranty.
There is no current method of obtaining S-OFF, so don't ask!
Requirements:
- PC
- Phone
- USB Cable
- External SDCARD (optional but highly recommended)
- Internet Connection
- HTC Drivers
- Battery with a charge of over 50%
- Ability to read
- Ability to follow directions
- Then you must view the following video!
If you meet these requirements then proceed to post #2.31If you followed the instructions like you were supposed to you should be fully rooted and unlocked the full potential of your HTC Amaze 4G phone.
Feel free to post your questions and comments here in this thread.
PLEASE! don't send me private messages asking for help. I just spent two hours making this as simple as I could to save me from all of the help requests. If you have problems then post in this thread and make sure to reference the step that you're having issues with.
Example:
Then I'm sure you will get plenty of help.
Remember to hit the thanks button to show your appreciation.30Step #4 - ROOTING!
Now that you have your custom recovery installed it's time to flash root onto your phone.
Download a custom rom from the Development section or the HTC Amaze ROM Bible and store the zip onto your external sdcard.
If you do not want a custom rom but just want root simply download the attached Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip file.
If you do not have an external sdcard then store it onto your internal sdcard.
The custom recovery from step #3 will default to an external sdcard if it's detected.
If the custom recovery from step #3 does not detect an external sdcard then it should default to your internal.
Now there are a couple different ways to reboot to recovery. The best way is to open the command prompt up and navigate to either directories from posts 1 or 2 that contains the adb.exe file.
For example this is from post #2.
If you stored it to your desktop directory then it would be something like:
C:\Users\Binary100100\Desktop\RecoveryInstallerForNoobs
so you may have to enter:
cd Desktop\RecoveryInstallerForNoobs
Now enter "dir" into the command prompt and press Enter and you should see something like:
As long as you see adb, adb.exe, adbWinApi.dl and AdbWinUsbApi.dll you should be good to go.
Now without leaving the command prompt enter:
adb reboot recovery
Your phone should reboot and you should be looking at your recovery.
If for whatever reason you couldn't get access to recovery then go back to bootloader mode.
Remove the battery and put it back in. This is to make sure the device is completely powered off. Hold the Volume Down button while pressing power to get back to hboot mode. Just like step #1. Now if you don't see Recovery in the list then select BOOTLOADER. You should now see RECOVERY. Select that and your phone should reboot to recovery from there. Now that I know you're in recovery... let's move on.
From here you can flash your custom rom or root files.
Use the volume rocker buttons to move the highlight up and down the menu and highlight "Install zip from sdcard" then press the power button to select.
Now "choose zip from sdcard" then press power button again.
Highlight the downloaded custom rom or the Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zipfile and press power again. From here I think you have the idea.
Select the appropriate zip file and press the power button to install.
Now you can go back and then select "reboot system now" and let your device boot up.
Check the app drawer and make sure you have an app called SuperUser. If you have this app then you now have root.29Step #3 - Installing Custom Recovery
Now that you have unlocked your bootloader you can now obtain root.
The easiest way to do this would be by installing a custom recovery.
I created a simple bat script that should update your recovery for you.
Boot up your phone and connect it to your computer by usb cable.
Go to Settings --> Applications --> Development.
Check USB debugging.
Unzip the attached file and run the Flash.bat file as Administrator.
Your phone should reboot and go to a white screen.
It should update the recovery for you automatically and reboot.
Now you should have yourself a custom recovery.
If by chance you decide that you would like to revert to the custom recovery then use the same technique with the STOCK_RECOVERY_FLASHER.zip file.
If a .bat script isn't your thing then try this thread: [TOOL] HTC Amaze 4G All-In-One Toolkit by Hasoon200028Step #2 - Unlocking your bootloader
Copied from this thread by Revolution
Go to HTCDev.com
Make a account , here then go to this link and follow all instruction's , but make sure you go to this link , it don't show us as a supported device but this work's for all device's me & crackeyes have tried this .
Go to this link after that : here , follow all the step's , below will be my version .
1) Remove and reinsert the battery.
2) Press Volume Down and Power to start the device into Bootloader mode.
3) Use the Volume buttons to select up or down. Highlight Fastboot and press the Power button.
4) Connect the device to the computer via a usb cable
5) Make a folder in c:\ called Android & then input the file's from your android SDK their , such as
adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
fastboot.exe
6) Open up command prompt. ( Start > Run > Type CMD,). The window that appears is called Command Prompt.
7) Navigate to where you unzipped the ZIP file and go to the folder you just created (For Example: If you created the folder in C:\Android, then you would type in Command Prompt: cd c:\Android).
8) Type in Command Prompt: fastboot oem get_identifier_token.
9) You will see a long block of text. Copy and paste this text into the the token field below (in the command prompt: Right Click > Mark > highlight the block of text > Right click to copy).
10) Paste this string of text into the token field and hit Submit in order to receive your unlock code binary file. You will receive this information in your email.
Example:
11) On the bottom of http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/unlock-instructions/page-3 , please input your result's & if it say's failed keep on trying & it will go threw .
Straight from HTCDev.com , & NOTE : THIS WILL VOID YOUR WARRENTY
Once you have unlocked your bootloader you can make changes to your /system partition.
The majority of you will probably never need to do this. This is because most developers use flashable zip files that will do everything for you. These files are flashed from Recovery Mode.
Let's move on to step #3
