Hi,

this is a development & collection Thread. The PH85IMG.ZIP files can be flashed through SD-CARD in HBoot Mode. This works only for S-OFF users. If you don't have S-OFF you cannot use the files. There is no way to get S-OFF on a normal S-ON phone now.

If you want to help, check if you have S-ON or S-OFF. Turn off the phone, reboot with the volume button held down, and check at the top of the white screen if it says "SHIP S-ON", "SHIP S-OFF" or "ENG S-OFF". S-ON is stock and not helpful, SHIP S-OFF could be useful, the really helpful ones are ENG S-OFF. Please don't post asking if you can help if you have S-ON.

HOW TO DUMP YOUR HBOOT (please remember this is only interesting if you already have S-OFF)

1. Download ADB: http://www.mediafire.com/?5d0v316g9bg97
2. Extract the contents of the zip to C:\
3. Run the commands below:
Code: 
cd c:\adb
adb shell
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 of=/sdcard/hboot.img
Note: If your device is not detected, download and install HTC Sync.
4. Connect your phone in USB Mode, copy the hboot.img file from your SD card and upload it to Multiupload.


How To Flash Eng Hboot:
1. Comming soon

that would be more of a sim unlock feature, u would prob need to wait for a mod to unlock the sim, but it would be easier to call tmobile and get a code, or maybe even buying a code online.. that is if the code has been released from HTC yet.

I was able to get an unlock code for mine two weeks ago so I would think most if not all unlock codes would be available now.

Power off is "quick"boot. You want to restart. And hold volume down.

Volume down and power button AT THE SAME TIME.

Make sure you have fastboot unchecked on power in menu/settings/power..

Just take batt out if anything. And place back and then try again

I have an amaze however is actually a store demo model but if you've been with t-mobile for 90 days you should be able to get a free unlock code.

    If they start making them harder to unlock and give developers a hard time I think it will cost them greatly. We are the ones that go out and buy there new phones and support them. The development for the HTC devices and the modding is why I buy them. I have spent a small fortune and now have the amaze and can't get past the security.

    I agree. This is probably going to be my last HTC device unless they change here pretty soon. I paid good money for this device so if I want to use an Anker battery, make hardware adjustments to dim my screen bleeding problem, use a custom firmware, whatever it's MY choice to make. If I break it then that's my own fault. HTC has no right to tell me what I can and cannot do with my property. After my 30 day return period is over then it's officially mine to do with whatever I please. I understand the warranty issue but I would gladly waive it to make it 100% mine. Since it's not 100% mine then why did I pay 100% of the price for it? They refuse to allow me to modify my property so I can only assume that they still think that it's theirs. So in that case, can I return it and get a 100% refund since it was never fully my own property? Yeah HTC is only screwing themselves with this.

    Nobody said we don't want to help, but we have no Amaze.

    Next to "being willing to help", exploit finding isn't exactly an exact science, you know.

    Xboarder tried talking to them.
    I offered to send my own phone to them.

    Nobody seems to care... so go ahead and try.

    "tried talking to them" ? You mean the 3 line IRC chat conversation I had with him, about him having an assorted collection of hboots for Amaze? Right.

    I have mentioned this before:

    Apparently the consensus seems to be that we 'dont care'.

    Allow me to set some things straight:

    1. Exploit finding is not an exact science. A new device means a new exploit. This takes time, and mostly, research.

    2. You say 'you dont care' like we owe something to the community? We help in the best way that we can. You can't exactly say we haven't already given a hell of a lot to the community as-is. You make it sound like we leech off the community, or something.

    3. No device means that it is extra hard to even develop. Remote access will only get you so far. Especially when you need to be extremely careful not to break it.

    Oh no.. I'm just started electrical engineering. I am just pointing out clues so someone with much better experience with androids can read what i found, and be that much closer to getting S-off... I'm just testing methods other people used and pray it doesn't brick....
