Unroot for warranty - HTC Amaze 4G

Ok guys, I've looked everywhere so don't flame me please, lol. My wife needs to return her phone cuz it won't hardly charge. How do I get back to stock? Meaning, where do I find the stock Rom, how do i do it etc. Thanks in advance for the help.

Even if the phone is rooted. If it's an actual charger port issue then Tmobile would replace it anyways. I think. But first return to STOCK by flashing the RUU. (I would give you a link but I'm sure you will find it faster on your computer then I would on my phone).
I'm never too sure though. I think there is a way to change the bootloader to-day "LOCKED" but idk what it was.

S-OFF makes it say locked.

But it also makes it say S-OFF. which is another giveaway the Tmobile people look for.

Someone on here made a mod that reset the lock status flag. Maybe that can help.

I'm looking for it. I found this. But it might just be the relocked status

Hey have you flashed correct RUU.??
Bcoz many people tried it and it is worked for them very well..
Try again.
No issue of relocked.
Bcoz relock status will be shown if you lock your bootloader through oem lock process.
Try to follow next step...

Downsides to leaving boot loader unlocked?

Are there any downsides to leaving the boot loader unlocked? It's not much of a hassle to lock it back, I just wasn't sure why it would matter if it was unlocked or locked.
Why would you want to lock it?

Just lock the bootloader only if you're sending the phone back to Verizon.

Thanks, I have been messing with Samsung phones and it's not something I've messed with before so I wasn't sure if there was an actual reason to do it.
You can lock it back easily through fastboot..

Need Radio / kernal?

Hey guys I've been trying to figure out why my rezound ( after root and s-off) has some crappy signal I have 1 bar and low data service almost everywhere but when I'm outside sometimes even then. From what I can collect its because I never installed a new radio or kernal. I'm not exactly sure what they are though or where to download them. ( sorry it may sound stupid but I'm lost at this point and have given up hope) I also saw something that said a radio is in a kernal. I have cyanogen mod 9 right now with the ics update and was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction of a kernal/radio good for my phone. I'm computer savy installing it won't be an issue but I'm just lost as to where to get it. I appreciate the help on this.

This might sound stupid, but after taking the battery cover off to do the S-Off trick, did you make sure it was back on all the way? the antenna for the rezound is on the battery cover.
Check your antenna tabs and make sure there are none broken off or damaged.

They honestly all look fine I've seen something about that in other posts and checked it before

This here would mean I could just flash the files over right? I believe my phone came with ics. It is s off and all I did was install cyanogen 9 with CWM. Did those flash new firmware? It may sound dumb but I just wanna make sure.

No. You can only flash firmware with a PH98IMG.zip or an RUU.

A couple of questions about s-off

So i havent rooted my phone yet and i updated the phone with the recent OTA update. Does this mean that I cannot currently get s-off. If so, are there anyways to remove the update? Also, if i had s-off but I had to return the device to verizon for a replacement, would I be able to completely bring the phone back to stock (stock rom and have it say "locked" as opposed to "re-locked"). Does verizon even care if you send back a device that says "re-locked"?

As far as I know, after the update, you can't get s-off. I'm not even sure you can unlock. I'm looking into this now for my own reasons.

If you've taken the ota you can not get supercid which prevents you from unlocking which prevents you from getting s off.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
Devs are working on a root for the people who updated, and you can change your device to say locked after you s-off i think...
You can change it back to LOCKED(not RELOCKED). The bootloader still says s-off though.

[Q] Downgrade for bootloader unlock?

Hey all,
So I wanted to load up a custom ROM on my DNA eventually, unfortunately I didn't read that accepting the latest Verizon OTA would not allow me to do that, and therefore I took the OTA.
I was wondering, is it possible to downgrade to the original build (1.15 i think) that shipped with the phone via an RUU? Because then I would be able to use the current unlock method, correct?
Thanks!
p.s I read around, and I didn't see anything about this, but I apologize if I missed it.
No, it is currently impossible to unlock your phone.

Thanks for a speedy reply! I had a hunch that would be so, oh well, I can live with it stock. It's really good as is!
You can pay for a jtag service.

I was about to suggest that too. Its only $45 I think for the guy in Dallas and well worth it. I've been in communication with them and they have been GREAT to work with on several issues, I'd send my phone to them in a heartbeat.
To find the thread Google "XDA DNA s off for the impatient."

[Q] Question about Rooting after Relocked

I originally bought this phone when it first dropped and was able to unlock my bootloader and root my device but i went back to my SIII for a while and gave this one to my girlfriend (huge mistake). I unrooted and relocked the bootloader before giving her the device, of course when the ota's popped up she took it and installed it. I just got the phone back yesterday and it actually looks like the newest ota has also been pushed and installed to the phone. My question is (which is probably a no) since i have rooted and unlocked before can i do it again or am i screwed waiting for a method? Ive spent a better half of my morning searching these threads for an answer but had no luck so im sorry if this has been asked a million times.
Thanks in advance.
Since you already have your unlock token you can unlock like you did the first time.
Really? So I can unlock and root no problem?
