Shoot me a PM if you need some help, no question is a dumb question so take your time and hit me up with anything you're not real sure about.
I'm guessing if you had problems it's either because of drivers, or you had like the gingerbread firmware and hboot and an ICS rom and patch, because that causes jp bear to look at your phone and say "WTF"

You might just end up with the retail price of a Thunderbolt on your next bill. Really tho they will be able to take one look and see you are running leaked software.
BTW the pink "Locked" at the top of hboot has to do with having HTC's official unlock capabilities built in. You can still root that build easily.

Well I don't know of any root method where the first thing you do is flash an hboot so..... Also the only way I know of for sure to root that build is with Revolutionary but I don't think there is a mac version. Plus it makes it somewhat hard to get back to stock when you use Revolutionary.

***LOCKED*** On Bootloader
Hello All,
First of all thanks for the awesome easy guide !!
This is the first time I am rooting my HTC Tbolt and have had an issue to start with.
Used the instructions in the link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1401959
After I download the 2.11.605.5 downgrade zip, I rename it, put in on the SD Card and go to HBOOT and it installs the downgrade just fine.
But at the end of this process, when I try to get the MR4 Radio onto the SD Card and install it, it simply does not happen. HBoot checks for the file, finds it, but nothing happens. I have renamed in properly and followed instructions to the dot.
I also noticed a ***LOCKED*** right on top of the screen and I think this could be an issue.
Can I go ahead and proceed with the Revolutionary Root Technique ? Would this be possible at this point ?
Is there anyway I can get Flash the MR4 Radio before I actually root ?
Also, would I be able to flash the MR4 Radio onto my device after Rooting ?
Any help is much appreciated !
Thanks in advance !
Cheers !
Ok guys, I didnt think I would end up in this boat but I did So I am still on GB Firmware (.11), nandroided back to stock rom with SU installed. Downloaded 3.14 RUU to flash after s-off, downloaded controlbear for GB (windows), downloaded latest amon ra recovery and whatever else was needed. So phone is on, in usb debug, then I start controlbear, runs through its thing, reboots the phone to the juopunutbear screen and asks for the wire trick, I tried for about half an hour and it would reboot when i got the timing right but the went to the "taking another sip" or whatever it says and then error, still sober. I just want to make sure I have everything correct and if not, what i'm doing wrong. I have been reading all the guides for the last month over and over preparing for this so I was comfortable. I got back to fastboot, flashed amon ra and nandroid back to nils business ICS so my phone is back in working condition. Any help would be appreciated. I looked around some, but I was hoping some direct help would make it easier.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll give that a shot tomorrow. Only my laptop has adb working at the moment. Does everything else seem to be fine?
usually the issue is with the computer and not the phone.
Another question. If it fails, and leaves the phone on the juopunutbear screen, I can still restart control bear with the phone on that screen right? When i do, it gets back to wire trick and reboots and fails again.
I switched computers and that worked second try. Thanks so much Con!!!!
Edit: Everything is running great. Updated to latest leak, amon ra recovery, and flashing Ineffabilis Deus right now. Was really hoping for Joel to have Charmander uploaded tonight, but oh well. I've asked for enough already lol. Thanks again Con

If the Htc amaze is like the Rezound you should be able to fastboot flash the stock boot.img from the rom you are on and it should get you back booting.
Okay i've been looking since last night for the answer to this question and found out nothing but everyone helping gives up and stops answering the question. Thus the thread is left with answered question.
But here goes. Currently on hboot. 1.50 s-on
Rooted my phone last night and download "mean" ics rom. Put it on the root of my sd card and went to recovery to boot the rom.
the rom wasnt downloading to the system and i dropped the phone by accident onto my bed and the battery fell out. (the back wasnt on it, not a hard fall)
attemped to install the rom again and by accident installed the "viper" ics rom
rebooted phone from recovery and phone will not go further than the htc logo boot.
any suggestions?
i can still go into hboot and recovery if i take my battery out. so i do not think its bricked since i can use my power button.
I think the dropped phone thing is coincidence. I'm pretty certain the issue is ICS and being hboot 1.5 s-on. For some reason, being s-on causes ICS to bootloop for most people. I highly recommend you go s-off. See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585846

Go s off so no more bootlooping and when the phone fell it didnt affect the bootloop

okay the problem with this is i cant get to my basic phone functions, im stuck with htc boot logo screen, bootloader/recovery
like i start the controlbearRelease program and it try to take me from bootloader to the main phone functions which it wont do. Like getting to the main phone functions would leave me with no problem
okay at thes point since so many people have seen it, im guessing im s.o.l?

zcink said:
If you can get to recovery, then just Flash a stock rooted rom for your CDMA.
That will boot you up and you can s-off.
Yank the battery and put it back in. Then hold the down volume and press the power button while continuing to hold the down volume button until it boots into bootloader. From there you can get to recovery.
From recovery you can flash a stock rooted rom.
Then the rest should be easy.
After you are s-off you can flash any rom you want to for CDMA and you can flash the new Firmware and Radio.

This worked out perfecctly, took me a while to get the wire trick to work but i have a nice rom on my 3vo now. Thanks again.
Hey All. I Did my first flash ever with my Evo3d and the Viper Rom way back when it first came out. With the Rev tool to get unlock and S off. Now Ive had to have my phone replaced due to a bad digitizer and id like some ICS fun. But the Phone is now Hboot 1.50. Ive had Ramjet explain some stuff but still having some confusion. I did the HTC unlock and the phone is unlocked. I now need to install/flash 4EXT recovery. I assume this is something I need to flash to the bootloader/Fastboot Vs just a download (which I did get the paid for app.) Ive been r4eading some of the stuff here and there. But still a little lost. Then I guess I need to root? then I can S off? Sorry for the dumb questions and being noob about this. Just wanting to learn/relearn the right ways. I know once I see it I can handle it just fine. Thanks for the help.

I'm actually on a sprint based cdma phone.
Have you looked at the HTC Unlock Guide (also in my signature)? Post 4 I think covers flashing the recovery & SU correctly.
- once unlocked, use fastboot commands to push the the recovery.img to the phone, boot to recovery and flash SU. Reboot.= Htc Unlocked stock rooted rom. (Note: there is also a link to the hboot differences thread you should read after getting s-Off).
Then you can use Jbear to get S-Off for Gingerbread/2.17 base.

Thanks mpgrimm
Id really like to end up with ICS is the direction im heading but im sure that will help. Thanks!! May have some further questions. Hope thats all right?
Sure thing. I haven't done the Jbear Wire Trick (I did the hboot 1.50 downgrade) but I can point you where to go.
Hi everyone,
I'm really hoping someone can help me with getting my E3D S-off with the wire trick. Even though I've been a member on this site for a couple years, I never really did much on here because I haven't done much with my phone until now. So, I'm hoping that being a newbie, someone can help me...
Long story short, I've been waiting patiently until the official ICS update from Sprint to be able to root my phone and finally install a custom ROM without all the Sprint bloatware and finally have a clean, stock ICS ROM on my phone. For the past two days I've been trying to do the wire trick by following this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1813818
It's just that my phone will NOT let me do it! I've successfully unlocked the bootloader on hboot 1.58 and rooted the phone with superuser. When I go to do the wire trick, after running JuopunutBear's Wire Trick, all I get is to the point where it says "Seconday Backup FAILED at Beginning!!" and just exits the program.
I've literally done everything. I read that it's caused by a custom ROM or having HTC Sync installed on my PC. The ROM I have is the stock Sprint ICS 4.0 ROM that was installed by the RUU. I've wiped my SD card and even used two other cards, and it STILL won't work. I have no idea what to do anymore. After two days of having a blank phone, I've just about given up. I know there's gotta be a way to do it, but I just can't figure it out. I can't find anything regarding this problem from anyone else on this site or anywhere on Google. People say they had the problem and it fixed itself, but I can't get past it. Can someone please help? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You should try flashing a stock GINGERBREAD ROM. The thing with JuopunutBear is that you need crucial files from GB. Unless they updated it, I may be wrong.
Instead of flashing an RUU, look for a full stock ROM for your phone.
Then it should work perfectly.
I did it on my GSM EVO 3D, but there was a better guide on here for it, however, it's gone now.
I wish you luck, comment back if it doesn't work.
I actually restored the original RUU which didn't work, and then flashed the PG86IMG.zip file for the ICS ROM and that didn't work either. I've gone through all the steps of unlocking and rooting multiple times, and it still gives me that backup message. I have no idea what else to do.
Also, the phone is new - Sprint replaced it under warranty for me because the bezel of my old one was coming loose which they said is a common problem, so they swapped it out with a fresh one for me. The only thing I can think of is maybe that daemon message I get when I start the fastboot? It says something like "Daemon not started. Starting on port 5037." Does the port have anything to do with it?
I'm gonna try flashing a stock Gingerbread ROM now. I'm downloading the 2.17.651.5 release - I think that's the official Gingerbread update from Sprint. I'll post back soon - thanks for your help.

Make sure you watch the screen on the phone until the prompts for superuser have appeared and been approved. Also, have you read through the JuopunutBear thread in the stickies of the development forum? There's a lot of information in there and a link to a good video by zedomax, and if that isn't enough to get you through it you can get some live help by logging into the IRC channel from the support page on the unlimited.io website.

I appreciate the help so far. I tried returning to a stock Gingerbread ROM to do the S-off trick since they thought maybe it had something to do with files from Gingerbread that weren't in the ICS ROM, but the phone won't let me do it. Running the official RUU fails and says it can't update the software, and trying to flash the PG86IMG.zip from the bootloader just ignores it - I boot the phone, it spends five minutes loading and checking, then just goes back to the menu. I read you can't flash an older firmware update over a newer one unless you have S-off, but since that's what I'm trying to get at, that obviously won't work.
So, I gave up and flashed the official RUU for ICS and it flashed fine and put me back at the stock Sprint software. Unlocked bootloader, rooted and tried the S-off again, and got the same problem. I'm giving up on it for the night but I'll research the stickies tomorrow at work and see what I can find and if anyone else might have had this problem. I don't feel like accepting the fact that there's no way to get S-off on this phone. Seems everyone else had no problems.
Thanks again for all your help so far!

JuopunutBear will work fine with the Sprint ICS 2.89 build installed, but make sure you use the version designed for that build.
Good luck!

Okay cool, just let me know. Thanks.
So I figured I would update on this but I'm sure no one really cares.
I FINALLY got S-off using the wire trick by installing a quick custom ROM and trying the process again. For some reason the guide I used said to use the stock untouched ROM but it didn't work for me, even though everyone else seems to have had luck.
So, after flashing a ROM quick through ext4 worked for me, and I flashed CoolROM with Sense 4.1. Looks good, but there's no 4G. I get full 4G coverage where I live, so I'm gonna kind of miss that. I was originally looking for a clean stock ICS ROM without Sense, but when I said this with Sense 4.1 I figured I'd give it a shot. Does anyone know of a stable ROM with working 4G and everything else? The whole reason I decided to root and get S-off was to finally remove all the Sprint bloatware, so I want a clean ROM. If anyone knows of a good ROM, I'd love to hear about it. Thanks!
