[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
For anyone who wants a step by step hopefully fool proof method..

Maybe no one will need this, but maybe it will help someone looking to take the leap..

This is for the people who are anal, want to have a REAL step by step, or want to reduce the possibility of issues or a brick as much as possible.. This includes where to get each file, what to backup.. with more detail than most need. Anyways, maybe it will help someone.

Anything preceded by a * or (Just in case)/HIGHLY RECOMMENDED are exactly that- they can be skipped, but skipping steps leads to regrets.

(Just in case)before you do ANYTHING, make sure your battery is full for any part of the flashing process-you don't want it to die mid-flash..

1. Already I am assuming you have s-off, if not go here http://unlimited.io/ - read the directions by clicking the INSTRUCTIONS link, then read the instructions for our amaze - IF YOU AREN'T COMFORTABLE DOING THIS, don't go any further!

*Highly recommended - make a titanium backup- if you have an issue restoring the data part of your nandroid(as I did) even with the free version you can restore the app and settings you know and love.

*Highly recommended - First make nandroid backup - I am using 4ext-(just in case)When nandroid is done mount to phone to computer, copy it somewhere

2. (prepare what you need) While doing that download either the stock RUU or the one that doesn't flash the hboot and recovery partitions - also download the eng hboot from here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25227322&postcount=226 and rename that to ph85img.zip (It has instructions much like this)

*(Just in case)Also check the md5 of ALL of the files you plan to flash - this way you know there is nothing wrong with what you are going to flash, less likely to brick!

*(Just in case)I also copied all of my internal and external sd cards onto my pc- should do this every once in a while anyways- just in case.

3. Copy the eng hboot you just renamed to the external sd cards root(not system root)

4. Boot into bootloader, select bootloader, press up to update, restart and boot into the operating system.

5. Rename either the leaked RUU you downloaded or "[ROM] Stock TMOUS ICS that does not flash HBOOT or Recovery" to PH85IMG.zip - if you choose the rom you can skip the steps of flashing eng hboot and recovery again later.

6. Replace the ph85img.zip with the ruu you just renamed onto the external sdcard and reboot into bootloader and it will update just like last time, but will take a bit longer

*(Just in case)Pay attention to make sure that each part updates correctly- each should say OK afterwards - if one doesn't, knowing which will help you fix any issue. - Just saying for people who click things without checking

*If you chose the stock rue you will have to do the eng hboot again, then flash recovery again

7. Boot into the new ICS and drool on yourself and have fun!-- or if you want..

7a?. Flash the caprombeta or rom of choice if any are available

8. MAKE A NANDROID of whatever you decided to go with before you do anything else- that way you can return to full stock in case you regret any choice you make afterwards!

*Also, you can use recovery to bring back your data partition that you backed up in the beginning, I have heard people have had good results.. but it may be better in the long run to install each app you actually WANT with a titanium backup..

I really want to make a bible type thread that stays up to date and points to every resource someone new to the amaze would want-- something a bit more comprehensive than what has come before.
