Actually, I am such a noob.

I forgot that once I had the "Unlock_code.bin" I had to place it in the "Data" folder of the ALL-IN-ONE tool kit. After I did that, I was able to unlock my phone and BAM! Back to normal.

Thank you tho! I appreciate it. :D Hopefully next time I'll have a question that's a little more challenging!
[HTC Amaze 4G] IvanTurbinca:
So the only way to flash ICS is to put the file on the external sd ?

Guess I'm going to have to buy one after all.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ghimires:
Going from the point above, I ran into this article online.

http://androidadvices.com/install-leaked-ics-android-403-firmware-htc-amaze-4g/1/

http://androidadvices.com/install-leaked-ics-android-403-firmware-htc-amaze-4g/2/

Summary of article:

download ICS firmware

put it into your phone's internal storage

flash package from recovery

factory reset wipe cashe

Couldn't that work as well? I don't see a big difference in putting it on a external SD vs internal SD.
[HTC Amaze 4G] IvanTurbinca:
The problem is I can't unlock my bootloader with HTC's tool, I get to the last step where I need to confirm that I want to unlock it on my phone but nothing shows up on my screen, it stays in recovery mode.
[HTC Amaze 4G] daswahnsinn:
I got a quick question. I thought ICS was supposed to be the bridge OS between phones and tablets. If so, why can we encrypt a tablet but not a phone?
[HTC Amaze 4G] IvanTurbinca:
I can't flash the package, it tells me E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command when I enter recovery and after I try to flash it it tells me Invalid operation Succes rebooting Reason rom-00
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
I hope u r not flashing ICS from GB in recovery. U need to relock bootloader and flash it there
[HTC Amaze 4G] IvanTurbinca:
OK, I flashed it, it worked, told me to reboot the device. I did, but after the reboot it stays at the HTC blank screen. I already had unlocked the bootloader.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
No it didnt work. Your bootloader needs to be locked as I told you. And you need to flash in BOOTLOADER not recovery.

i have amaze 4g and i like it so much ,, i am so far from using new techs :D so i didnt update my phone to ICS till now even it's available because many people said it's not stable and there is a lot of trouble with the new ICS (wifi,,,, ) and i am not into losing time and trying to fix trouble so i just didn't update my device and still using android 2 so my question : after many months from the released of ICS it is still a lot of trouble with it ?? is it stable now ??? plz anyone answer me because if there is a lot to do for fix the problems i prefer to stay on android 2 because everything working just great,,, so any advice plzzz
[HTC Amaze 4G] oryan_dunn:
I'd stick on Android 2.3 for now, especially if you're fine with it and everything works for you. The update brings a couple nice features, but probably not worth it to upgrade. WiFi calling is a mess (doesn't connect when you get in range of WiFi; when it's connected, you miss calls; calls go straight to voicemail, and you don't get a voicemail notification; the audio from the other caller is delayed by ~1s and gets longer as the call goes on), Slacker radio (any version) doesn't work over WiFi, the option "Enable Always-On Mobile Data" is now missing (meaning worse battery life if you used that option on 2.3), the entire "power-saving" menu is now gone, and finally, app association links are broken, ie. a link to youtube will now always open in the browser and not give you the option of watching it in the youtube app.

The only real problem I had with 2.3 was the memory low error, but HTC released an app on the market that clears the junk that causes that error.

Amaze Memory Clear

I'm currently in support talks with T-Mobile engineering trying to fix the WiFi calling issues. If a software update to fix those isn't released soon, then I will be going back to 2.3.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mtarabichi:
oh thank you so much :D

yea i prefer to stay on android 2.3 rather than have all this troubles ,,, i am so lazy and busy i want a working device and i don't care if it s 2.3 or 4 what i care that is always working when i need it so really thank u i won't update ,,, plz notifie me if you have a new ideas ,, thank u again for your time

Hi,

I want to update my firmware so I can solve ICS freeze, my device's carrier is T-mobile but there are several T-mobile firmwares in the first post of this topic, which one should I use?

I'm bringing this phone to another country and will use GSM there, so what I want is most-compatible GSM.

Thanks.

EDIT:

I believe they are sorted, so I grabbed the first one, which should be the latest, and worked fine so far. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

What should I do if I want to flash GB ROMs? Should I grab a non-ICS one and flash it?

Upgrading problem

Hi aj...

upgrade my htc amaze(Asian ROM version) to t-mobile ics :o

with s-off Super CID etc..

now here is t-mobile OTA update 2.14.531 available, i downloaded the file but cant install it give me error while flashing it through recovery..

plz give me some idea how to install it...
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
I think your trying to flash a ruu you have to run it from the bootloader not 4ext :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] en24mohsen:
Thanks a million, is there more?

Dear aj_2423,

I can't thank you (and your team probably) enough. you are a life saver. in contrast to my trepidation, your steps were easy to follow (thanks to you!)

However, i have two questions and i would really appreciate your response:

1. there is an update when you try it in the 'about phone' section. is it risk-free to download and run?

2. i would like to know what is THE BEST rom for Amaze because it seems fast enough?and what steps should i follow to install it on my s-off phone?

Thank you. i look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,

M. Ghorbanpoor

So Sensation has Stable Sense 4 and we still don't have a 100% functional Sense 3.5 <\3
[HTC Amaze 4G] Pulsewave:
meh, Xboarder's sense 3.5 is pretty damn stable, just missing bluetooth, not a big deal for some

all we need is for even the most basic leak of anything ICS related for the Amaze and I bet there'd be an explosion of development.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Agree... It's a battery guzzler, but if you don't use BT, the 3.5 is $ :D

Sent from my HTC Amaze running Sense 3.5
[HTC Amaze 4G] rbaruch:
After visiting other forums, a lot of phones are missing ICS and are pissed at their manufacturer, so I don't feel as bad :)

Once we get a leak, I think CM9 will be finished quickly, and then MIUI will be easy to develop, and we'll have a whole slew of ROMs.

So we're going to have:

1.) Sense 3.6 from xboarder

2.) Xboarders Evervolv rom (if he decides to continue)

2.) NRG themed 3.6

3.) CM9 from max

4.) MIUI will be here shortly

5.) I'm sure craigtut will develop a rom

+ many more will hop on the wagon. The S for Tmobile lacks a lot of features the Amaze has, and the Amaze should be going down in price soon enough
[HTC Amaze 4G] EclipzeRemix:
i agree devlopment when ics gets here will go up, after the official release, give the devs 2 weeks and we are going to see 7+ roms
[HTC Amaze 4G] :

Thats true gypsy, thats exactly why HTC/TMo wont be giving Sense 4.0 to the Amaze, cause then no one would buy the One S.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mznatnat:
Well after seeing this page..... u might understand why HTC has been so iffy about releasing ICS .... I honestly doubt that HTC has as many people working on the update as they try to make it seem... they probably only have like 4 people working on it (not including the testers) ...... they are more than likely not funding the development for the Amaze.... because they are getting ready to pull them off store shelves altogether and end Amaze's life.... Hopefully this is not true.... but if it is.... then all of this delay and confusion would more than make sense!

Now that's just ridiculous, clearly there are plenty of other attractive attributes the OneS has over the Amaze, especially the fact that they probably won't be sharing shelf space w/ one another...

I do agree, & it is my opinion that sense 4.0 will be exclusive to the OneS, for now...

[HTC Amaze 4G] EclipzeRemix:

[HTC Amaze 4G] IndustryCanada:
Considering that HTC publicly announced they would port ICS to the Amaze prior to me buying my phone in an official statement - they are committed to it. If they do not, basically anyone who purchased one in Ontario (Canada) has an open and shut case in the Consumer Protection Act to return their phone due to misleading statements.

The cost of returning all those phones would far exceed the development cost of the upgrade, so at some point they will have to release an upgrade.

Relax guys, seriously. we are getting an official ics, and the fact that we dont have it has nothing to do with the upcoming release of the one S.

[HTC Amaze 4G] rbaruch:
Just read that the Rezound will supposedly get ICS first week of May as well. Honestly, I was mad at HTC at first but then I read this:

Sony: You May Not Want Ice Cream Sandwich,

http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2402489,00.asp

"Ice Cream Sandwich is more intensive, for example in terms of resource usage," the company writes. "The web browser is quite intensive, and our measurements indicate that it uses 20-30MB more in ICS compared to Gingerbread."

"Database operations can also be slower, leading to slower startup times for apps that aren't optimized for ICS, Sony says."

"Read and write operations to the SQL database takes longer time, which slows down the apps … this can result in a user experience that is perceived as slower and less stable, due to longer response times and increased [Application Not Responding errors]."

Apparently, the article's author also stated:

"I'm seeing some of this drama on my own HTC Sensation phone, which received an ICS update over the weekend that seems to have completely killed the phone's standby battery life. From 100 percent, it's now down to 46 percent after a mere 3.5 hours, with "mobile standby" taking up a whopping 17 percent of the battery usage."

Heres hoping our devs can tweak the hell out of it and provide us with good battery life like they did with GB
[HTC Amaze 4G] MadRex24:
Hey, since the discovery of the S-OFF method, has any developer started in on a sense 4.0 rom? I feel like the Amaze is becoming a hopeless phone, because we've got little to no ICS roms for almost a years time...it's sad but I do believe that the development for this phone will be dead soon.I fear that S-OFF might be a little too late this party...

6. To me the display is brighter and colors look better compared to the sensation
[HTC Amaze 4G] lamenramen:
Agreed. The Amaze's screen must be different than the Sensation's. It's definitely got more nits, and colors pop more (my personal preference) and there seems to be less glare (don't quote me on that one) b/c there is less distance between the actual screen and the covering glass. I was ready to buy the sensation b/c it's so much cheaper, but I could not get over how nice the screen on the Amaze is.

The biggest thing holding back the Amaze is that it's on T-mobile and its battery life.

Or if I just have have a brand new Amaze with nothing touched ( Non-rooted, S-ON) do I just rename the RUU, copy to the root of my external SD card and boot into bootloader and that should do it for me, right?

Actually, if you are non-rooted and s-on it is REALLY straight forward.. someone just posted how to do it http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1617663

You don't even have to have an unlocked bootloader to do it that way..

I still recommend you get s-off, unlocked bootloader, and a recovery on there if you want ANYTHING beyond stock- but if not that is the thread to read.

You're right, it isn't as hard as it sounds, but if someone misses ONE critical step, they now have a pain in the ass. I always take every step to keep it from getting harder and make sure I have the tools in case I do run into problems..

Dude you can buy apps online while being rooted being rooted should be a good choice because at least i know most if not all stock roms are terrible and filled with bloat at least by rooting a stock rom you can make it betetr
