[Q] After S-OFF

---

So now that I have s-off through the wire method, what now?

I went and read the 5 pages in the development but everything is so unclear. After obtaining s-off i dont want to flash the wrong kernal or do something in the wrong order and brick my phone.

I want the latest ICS that has been leaked for the Amaze, and the latest sense which I think is 3.6, I read the threads relating to the two, but it doesnt tell you what other things need to be done (pre reqs) before following their respective instructions. Thanks to anyone who replies.

I have a telus htc amaze, unlocked bootloader via htcdev.com, s-off, and I have the hboot from juonoputbears s-off method (Anyone want to tell me exactly what this hboot is and how it is different from other hboots in the dev thread?), Is my htc a ruby?

ok HTC amaze = Ruby and you are almost there. all you need to do now is super cid your phone and flash the ICS and start using FACE UNLOCK :P.

I will help you out but there are answers to all your questions already. Since you are on telus, you will have to supercid your device. The device name for the amaze is ruby. You have most of the prerequisite elements in place.. Check out this part of the ics thread...

Remember to supercid first, and you will need the eng hboot to flash the file.

He can flash using the JB Hboot he has at the moment, Eng is not really needed to flash this.

When I go to the link it leads me to the top of the ICS thread, is this what you were leading me to or were u linking to a specific post in the thread? Anyhow, thank you for bringing up the term supercid, now I know what to search for next.

xndabox, is that the most useful hboot out right now or is it just more useful for the stuff that I am about to try? Ray, would it be better that I use the hboot that xnd posted?

Also, Do I have to do anything with something called "recovery" or was that already accomplished when i unlocked the bootloader/ s-offe'd my device/ hbooted the whatever? I used to have an atrix and there was something called clockwork mod recovery or something that allowed us to get into a menu after boot if needed, but for the amaze there is already a menu there. Thanks and a +1 to all the helpful posts you guys had after I get a clear image of what to do after supercid.

Sorry I went to bed. But I recommend this hboot to future proof for anything that can come up later.. But I did find this for you. ..

Thanks, I found that info as it came up when I used the search function. Does the hboot you referenced have anything to do with this new bit of information I found:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...ight=eng+hboot


This is what I have done so far, please tell me if anything done was wrong/counterproductive to the goals i am trying to achieve in accordance to my opening post:

I supercid'd my phone

I installed a custom recovery:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...ustom+recovery

Now I think I need some sort of eng hboot, but I don't know if the eng boot you provided is appropriate, can u confirm after reading the link I sent you, Also where would I flash the eng hboot, will it be a zip file that will be installed under the recovery I downloaded? Thanks for your quick replies.

Download the hboot from the telus how-to.. Then rename it to what he says ph85img.... You can flash that through the bootloader.. Which recovery did you use? It says to back up your apn address first though.

Either hboot will work though, both account for the same thing.

Over 10000!!! You bet I am.
