[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
nope that zip was for devs t look at
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
You better take a close look at the zip file.

Within the file is a zip file called firmware.zip.

Within that file updates our recovery and hboot (along with a couple others).

HTC might be trying to take away our root with this. I'm going to wait.

This will update us to 1.90.0008 for our hboot.
[HTC Amaze 4G] djxspike:
Gotcha - thanks for the clarification.

Glad they finally pushed this out - I have a few customers who've been waiting for this update.

---------- Post added at 08:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:53 AM ----------

...But why let us unlock the bootloader just to take away root?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
In order to install this you would have to re-lock your bootloader, go back to stock (with stock recovery), move this file to /sdcard2/download directory, boot back to hboot and then to recovery. That should work. Then just hope you can root unlock your bootloader again through htcdev so you can get root again.

EDIT: At first glance this will do the following:

Update our hboot, recovery, kernel, mdm9k partition, mdmrcdata partition, pg2fs_spcustom partition, rcdata partition (all from the firmware.zip file), add or change two files to our /system/etc directory, add or change /system/customize/resource directory, add the music2 app and it looks like it changes some 25 drivers (firmware directory).

Go go go boarder haha been waiting for this forever too excited,

Thanks!:D:D
[HTC Amaze 4G] ickedmel:
Omg it's out x are you going to put the New WiFi calling on your roms? This link you put we have to re lock the bootloader or can this be flashed on custom Rom
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
I just tried it for the hell of it.

You do not have to re-lock the bootloader but as I suspected it does update the hboot and recovery. It looks like it also updates the radio as well.

Wifi calling is now added as expected.

However if you attempt to flash the recovery you get a Main Version is older! error
[HTC Amaze 4G] Teo032:
by recovery do you mean cwm recovery?

since it updated hboot, did that update the bootloader too? is it back to locked? if it does this should be the escape for those who are skeptical about voiding warranty on the phone with unlocked bootloader. Kind of interested in that radio update though.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
Everything was updated.

I edited the android-info file with 1.43.531.3 and it seemed to work. I attached it below. No renaming required!

Since we cannot flash any radio updates without having s-off (correct me if I'm mistaken though) it might be wise to go back to the stock rom (flashing a ruu should be fine), download the update, flash it so it updates the hboot, radio, etc, then flash this 5.0.2.7 cwm recovery that I attached below, place it on the root of your sdcard and go back to hboot to update the recovery. Then go through and download and install your custom roms all over again. Pain in the butt... but whatever.
[HTC Amaze 4G] recognize_atm:
since there is a radio update do you feel like your signal is better or is it 2 make the wifi calling better?
[HTC Amaze 4G] djxspike:
Don't hold me to this because I don't work in RF/Engineering (in fact - I may ping my friend who works in that dept to clarify)... but it's my understanding that this implementation of WiFi calling is completely different from previous implementations and there's a lot that happens behind the scenes at the carrier level and in the ROM itself - so it's not shocking to me that a radio update is included.

It's also my understanding that to be able to make use of WiFi calling on the Amaze (and Galaxy S II) you needed to use the new UICC-GBA SIM card that came with the device - all I remember is a very obtuse memo going around about it. Not everyone understood it - but we followed it's instructions anyway.

Update:

T-Mobile's current WiFi calling implementation uses "UMA" - the new implementation found on the Amaze uses a system called "IMS". Here's a very "propeller head" article explaining the differences: http://www.tmcnet.com/ims/0208/ims-feature-article-4.htm
[HTC Amaze 4G] Teo032:
I thought radio and wifi are completely 2 separate things... so radio update shouldn't affect the wifi
[HTC Amaze 4G] mun-key:
Yep - that's what they told me in the tmobile store too. You need the new sim so they can track it properly and not bill you for the airtime.
[HTC Amaze 4G] djxspike:
aaaaaand here's a "changelog" (if you can call it that?) from T-Mobile:

WI-FI Update Question

Is there anyway to apply this update to an unlocked & rooted Amaze without having to relock the bootloader and unroot the phone?
[HTC Amaze 4G] rdmay20:
thats what xboarder is working on now for us, lets hope he comes back with some good news
[HTC Amaze 4G] mylexon20s:
I'm not going to unroot my phone, just going to revert back to stock recovery and rom, then reflash binaries recovery image
[HTC Amaze 4G] rdmay20:
If you can let us know all the steps you took if you get it working
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
None that I can tell. It also supports the internal sdcard although I don't really use it that much.

Well if you have an OTA rom and OTA recovery... that's all you really need. You don't have to relock your bootloader. I can confirm that much.

I don't want to read any posts asking for updates on the new rom either. Please. Give him some time. (Not directly targeted toward rdmay20 but to everyone in general)

I would actually advise everyone to wait to the new update to be implemented into your favorite rom because when it's all said and done the only thing that you will have is a new radio and hboot which has no noticeable advantages.
[HTC Amaze 4G] droidemere:
I'm trying to flash the stock recovery image posted by x(how to revert to stock guide) but its not.working...It starts to update...then I get the red exclamation mark....maybe ill just wait for an updated Rom.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Teo032:
as binary said don't bother doing the OTA update, radio apparently did nothing, so just wait on a new ROM release.

OH should mention to people that doing an OTA upate can potentially brick your phone since it's updating hboot and radio. so make sure your phone is fully charged and your battery doesn't fall out
[HTC Amaze 4G] uzk:
Can't wait! Will it the next version of quicksense?
[HTC Amaze 4G] M9x3mos:
So this does update bootloader? Haven't yet unlocked or rooted the phone. Was looking for a option not to have to report to HTC. Not sure if I want to apply this now though.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
Yes it does.
[HTC Amaze 4G] electronicrice:
Just FYI, I was able to re-root my Amaze after applying this update using X's One Click Root found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1310115 The superuser .zip that is used in the unlocking thread did not work, for me at least.

The steps I took: restored back to unrooted stock (or run RUU to stock), flash the stock recovery in fastboot, boot into stock and apply OTA update, flash CWM recovery in fastboot, run One Click Root after booting.

Also took the additional step of restoring my data partition from my nandroid prior to doing all of this and it took just fine.
[HTC Amaze 4G] droidemere:
You didn't have to lock/unlock the bootloader?
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
well uploading build in hour for you guys :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] electronicrice:
Nope, that's everything that I did.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
will be prerooted too :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] Teo032:
so you basically just need to flash cwm before doing one click root?

idk why im asking im just going to run x's rom anyways lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] electronicrice:
Technically you don't have to flash CWM before running One Click. Either one first is fine, that's just what I did

[HTC Amaze 4G] A Murder of Crows:
quick question for you all.

i'm on a stock amaze, rooted. all attempts to install the ota update fail, and i'm assuming it's because of my having CWR installed.

i REALLY don't want to do a flash of this phone just yet...i was hoping for CM9 or an interim CM to come out before i did any new rom.

should i wait with this update till CM? should i consider flashing with quicksense? should i go back to stock, flash it, and get it over with?

advice appreciated
[HTC Amaze 4G] alucardunit1:
So if i have the stock rom on my phone rooted do i just need to switch back to the stock bootloader and then switch back to cwm?
[HTC Amaze 4G] droidemere:
The market will update automatically to the new one. Usually within the first ten minutes or less.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Android1126:
Or just go into manage applications, do a clear cache and clear data for Market. That usually forces it to refresh the new market.
[HTC Amaze 4G] djxspike:
I'm in a similar situation - Stock Root, unlocked BL, Clockwork Recovery, & could really use WiFi calling...

using xboarder56's .zip - what's my process for updating?

Still running stock myself and debiting flashing this. Wondering if doing so would prevent any future s off solution. What do you all think? Give a week or so first. Don't really need the wifi calling. Really would like s off
[HTC Amaze 4G] bmbrad:
you don't have to relock the phone. just do the recover method made by xboarder. do the updates. flash cwm again and choose which rom you want to use or leave it stock with the new update.
[HTC Amaze 4G] electronicrice:
FYI - using Xboarder's deodexed rom that was posted borked wifi calling. It was only after reverting to fully stock (rooted) did it work again.

People have to understand that you MUST BE FULLY STOCK in order to apply an OTA update. That means all stock apps, stock recovery, etc. The OTA looks for pre-installed apps to verify the environment and the OTA will only install through the stock recovery.

The method you can use would be to:

1) revert to a nandroid of the original untouched stock rom (or flash the RUU)

2) manually flash the stock recovery pulled from the OTA through fastboot

3) apply the OTA after booting up into stock android

4) reflash CWM recovery through fastboot (or use the PH85IMG.zip in bootloader)

5) re-root the phone and do as you wish

These are the steps I took and it worked just fine.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
i fiixed the rom it was a mistake on my part but you can flash a rom ota from htc via cwm if you do it right:O
[HTC Amaze 4G] Android1126:
Much Imporved battery life after OTA.

I can't speak for anyone else's Amaze, but after Monday's OTA, my battery life has improved by approximately 25%. I leave my house at 06:45:00, and don't get home until 18:15:00 (6:15 pm). If I barely use my phone all day, I'll be in "Power Saver Mode" (set at 15%) by the time I reach home. If I am using my phone throughout the day, there is no question I'd plug it in at my desk.

Ever since I've applied the OTA, my battery is easily lasting all day with normal to heavy use.

I'm only stating this because many people have said this OTA doesn't do much other than address minor bug fixes, add Wi-Fi calling and Google Music. Sure, it does all those things, but it ALSO increases battery life, and/or makes the system more efficient.

Just my experience. I wonder if anyone else has noticed this also......
[HTC Amaze 4G] bmbrad:
I noticed that as well. I am also getting way better 4g. I used to be in 3g 90% of the time. Now I'm 4g 90% of the time. The updated radio has improved my 4g coverage! So it might be a good idea to go to stock to update the radio.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
ill try and work on a patch to update radio then :D

i got an error when it was updating,

when it booted back up, it didnt seem to have updated anything.

system update notification was still there. so i clicked on it. now im hanging at a cool green x and its not doing anything.

I still need to flash the stock recovery right?
[HTC Amaze 4G] ickedmel:
If you want the OTA update, just relock your boot loader look at the instructions on the sticky on locking and that should do.it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
He doesn't need to relock the bootloader.

So you don't want root? Because you'll lose root by doing this.

Or you could just flash this:

Deodex tmobile 1.43.531.3: (make sure to flash kernel to get wifi back new kernel in this update )

http://www.multiupload.com/FJ50I4FVK3(refixed)

But if you really want to install the OTA update then yes, you'll need the stock recovery and the original stock rom.

Damn it.... I've been doing this stuff since I had my first G1...

I am feeling kind of dumb right now....

Thanks for the help, and I did hit your thanks button! :o)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
If you have CWM recovery then you can flash any custom rom.

It doesn't have to be the one posted above. That one is just a very basic stock rom. No tweaks. Just pre-rooted.

I do like the stock rom, but I came from Virtuous Affinity 2.3.5 sence 3.5

So I flashed back to 1.36 for tmobile through the bootloader so I could be unrooted and get the WiFi calling update. But now I'm not getting it. Before I was on 1.45 before flashing back and I got the update but couldn't install it. So I went back to 1.36 because that one said tmous but I keep checking for the update and it keeps saying I am up to date. Anyone got any advise?

Try this.

Download this file and place it on /sdcard/downloads directory.

Then reboot to stock recovery and see if it installs. Good luck!

can someone post the old radio signal please. This would be if you have rooted and not gone back to stock and updated the OTA.

Thanks!
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
No way to go back to it no point
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
You do realize that's a good way to brick your phone, right?

Right hboot + right radio = good phone.

Right hboot + wrong radio = possibly bad phone.

Wrong hboot + right radio = possibly bad phone.

Wrong hboot + wrong radio = possibly bad phone.

Do you really want to proceed? And why?

EDIT:

Even if you did have it, how would you flash it? I think that's a limitation of S-ON is that only properly signed updates can get flashed and since obtaining a radio through a source other than OTA will not be properly signed it probably wouldn't work anyway.
[HTC Amaze 4G] lainemac:
Do I need to name it anything specific like update and apply it like that or will it just ask me?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
I think that the stock recovery looks for a compatible .zip file within that directory. I wouldn't rename it b/c I don't think it's required. I could be wrong though. I haven't actually tried this method but I'm guessing that keeping the name the same and in the /sdcard/downloads directory is basically the same as downloading the .zip file. Let me know what happens. If that fails then rename it to update.zip and place it on the root of your external sdcard and try that.
[HTC Amaze 4G] lainemac:
Thanks a lot man. Pushed your button.

If you check out the quoted posts by Faux123 it seems that the new radio (1.08550L.19DC_30.66.550L.08D) is causing kernel crashes and random reboots so I might advice against installing the update if you just want the new radio. :(
