yea i am anticipating on doing this or not. if i do it from stock, will i not be able to s-off if a custom rom came out later? or will this affect unlocking bootloader? i guess those are my questions.

I need some help if anyone has suggestions. WiFi at home works great. But I work at a hospital and I'm having issues getting on. It's a public network and worked when I had energy installed. It's one of those public networks that when you first connect and try to browse it redirects you to a URL in which you have to hit accept and agree to the terms. Well when I get redirected it get page unavailable and I can't get to the accept page even though I am connected to the WiFi. I called the IT department and they said they have no reports of issues.. any recommendations ? Or someone with the same issue?

[HTC Amaze 4G] tatuk:
I am doing step-by-step, and after #3 HBOOT says:

CID incorrect!

Update Fail!

Press <power> to reboot.

I did it 5 times, re-copied PH85IMG.zip, no difference.

Is it because I am at WIND, not t-Mobile, and need S-OFF before?..

Advice, please!!!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] morrislee:
Unlock your device, flash custom kernel, wipe all in recovery, flash android revolution rom, flash faux kernel, boot into android revolution, enable usb debugging, s-off running controlbear, superCID, then you can put that on your SD card for it to work
[HTC Amaze 4G] F033x:
Yeah to flash this you would need to have super cid enabled from s-off.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ImABoss:
If i'm s-on and not rooted can I just flash this via fastboot?

can you give me a hand, I was unlocked w/NRGZ, thought i was good to go so relocked the the phone, put ICS renamed to PH85IMG on blank sd, now I've got bootloader screen but doesn't read IMG, can't get fastboot to flash recovery......HELP
[HTC Amaze 4G] jimczyz:
You only use a blank sd card when doing s-off and the wire trick. Put the rom onto the sd card you normally use.

::Edit- Did you s-off your phone?::
[HTC Amaze 4G] Marquis63:
no thread said I could flash ICS on locked t-mo phone and Globatron said could s-off later

---------- Post added at 09:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 AM ----------

right now I need to get stock recovery, I can adb and fastboot on computer guess I don't have stock recovery yet lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] jimczyz:
Correct. You only need the blank sd card for trying s-off. Not for installing ICS. Put the rom on your normal sd card and rename it PH85IMG and boot into hboot, should be good to go then. If all you need in a recovery, use Hasoons AIO tool and you can install one from there, or download the recovery and again, rename it PH85IMG and go into hboot.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Marquis63:
only problem with that is I had CWM when I relocked the phone, now all I get is boot screen, can't fastboot flash recovery so maybe I don't have the stock one yet and I can't use Hasoons tool cause I can't unlock phone when all I get is hboot screen lol, I'll figure it out tomorrow, I'm off to dreamland but thanks anyway
[HTC Amaze 4G] jimczyz:
Download stock recovery and put it on your sd card and rename it PH85IMG and it should install through hboot.

Edit- I just tested it, you can flash a recovery from bootloader using Hansoon AIO. Try it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Arich0908:
You have to remember all of us are not exactly computer wiz of the year. Me personally im a NooB and the thought of bricking my 600$ phone is scary. I didnt get my phone at a discount or on sale I paid full price.

For 4 years proir to that I was sporting a G1 . So the thought of having my Amaze being bricked is scary.

Yes ICS update atracked every NOOB out in Cyberspace.

But allot of you are very patient thanks for the help.

Also I havent seen direction on a completely stock Tmobile HTC Amaze.

Can It just be updated while retaining all the stock setting apps and memory?
[HTC Amaze 4G] jimczyz:
You "should" be able to. From what I've read, you just need to put the update on the root of your sd card and rename it PH85IMG and go into hboot and it should ask you if you want to install the update.

I see above where you say it's on ext sd. Just make double sure its on your actual sd card & not your internal phone storage.... I moved mine to my sd card & the update worked like a charm.

OH & FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, BACKUP YOUR PHOTOS & VIDEOS..

I didn't know they all got erased when the update takes hold, if they're stored on the internal phone storage..

I was s=on locked i.e. bone stock & all I did was rename it to whatever everyone else says to rename it to (ph85img.zip.... I think) & then restarted in bootloader & now I'm running ics & the phone seems noticeably faster/smoother than it ever was on 2.3.4
[HTC Amaze 4G] blacksapphire08:
That worked but everytime I try to update it says E:signature verification failed and then aborts the install....

Edit: managed to get the new hboot to flash by renaming it to PH85IMG.zip.... still having trouble with the recovery.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jimczyz:
Delete the hboot file off your card and then while in hboot, run Hansoons AIO tool and it will install a recovery for you from there. You have to name everything PH85IMG in order for it to install.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
Damnit stop giving false info.

1. Charge your battery.

2. Check the RUU md5sum.

3. Compare file size.

4. Put it on ANY sdcard and renamed to PH85IMG.zip

**5. Either attempt S-Off OR have the

proper HBoot

installed. The RUU won't install on a modified HBoot if you don't have S-Off. **

6. Reboot into fastboot and flash the RUU. Wait to make sure that it flashed everything. It will take a few minutes. Wait for the phone to ask you to reboot it.

Wait....I sent this with Tapatalk?
[HTC Amaze 4G] blacksapphire08:
Alright I managed to force the recovery and superuser flash via adb and it worked, so everything works now :)

BTW I tried using Hasoon's tool but it wouldnt work in hboot or any other way.
[HTC Amaze 4G] heyjoe66:
is this a release or some alpha version?

I see a whole lotta dependencies on Broadcom bluetooth, while, as far as I do understand, Amaze has TI bluetooth.

Looks like something is seriously mixed up.

But, I guess, as usually we have to finish up there work for our money.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrmako777:
final version wont be out until tmo pushes it ota. this is more like a test build, close to being a final build
[HTC Amaze 4G] AgentCherryColla:
My Mom has an Amaze. I flashed this for her, as her amaze was 100% Stock. S-On Locked. I flashed the Zip as an update in the bootloader. It didn't flash the 1st time, but I did it again. The phone found the update, and it flashed 100%.

Then I used the HTC Amaze Toolkit. Unlocked the bootloader via HTC Dev. Then I flashed TWRP 2.0 using the Amaze Toolkit. I flashed the latest super user, and I got Root. Sense 3.6. So root is possible, if your S-ON locked. Just have to unlock while on ICS. But I don't think I can use older Roms with out fastboot. Haven't tested that. Haven't tested if I can even use any other Roms.

I got a question if I want to go S-off can I do it while running ICS? or do I need to go back to GB?
[HTC Amaze 4G] morrislee:
Where did you see the BCM dependencies? did you flash any DSP Manager mods? If you flash DSP Manager, most likely that it contains some broadcom drivers

How did you know this is not the final build???? Do you have a source? because everything seems to be working just fine. Bluetooth, wifi, HSPA radios etc all works so far, no issues in Sense components either
[HTC Amaze 4G] bjcolema:
How many people are s-on, had bootloader unlocked prior to ics, relocked, flashed ics, then tried to unlock again? I am stuck at that point and it will not unlock again via the htcdev option. I am running ics just fine, but just can't unlock to get root.

For those with high battery drain, I was getting extremely short battery life for the first day. I turned off the TMO contact sync which was on by default and installed Juice Defender. Now, I'm getting the same or maybe slightly better than what I was getting on custom gb roms.

Hey I could use some help installing this. I'm more of a novice when it comes to Samsung hacking and not HTC hacking, so if someone can help me out I would greately appreciate it. Read over 25 pages yet its still un clear so I'll be very direct.

I'm S-On Tmobile unlocked bootloader, Stock ROM but I have root to get rid of bloatware. Recovery is CWM 5.0.2.6. I just downloaded the .zip renamed it on my ext sd card.

Sorry you guys have to answer so many questions that have been answered over 100 times! I've never seen a thread this new approaching 1,000 posts in less than a week. My head hurts from all of this.

Which brings me to my question of the day one of you might know. I can't think straight anymore so I can't think of the logical answer. I am now S-Off ( I know how you felt getting it Glacier!) but haven't tried ICS yet. Was kind of waiting for NRG or anyone else getting a customized one out. I'd still like to try this stock one though but my brain no longer functions after reading so many posts. What I want to know is, now that I'm S-Off, if I install ICS, I understand that it will flash a new radio as well. If I want to go back to GB and did a nandroid restore of Energy, wouldn't the ICS radio still be flashed and would that be compatible with the Energy ROM? Energy doesn't flash the radio as far as I remember since we didn't have S-Off back then so my puzzlement is whether I'd need to flash the latest last OTA update to get the GB radio back or does a nandroid restore or re-flashing the GB Energy ROM do that? I don't think the latter is true. I think I'd have to re-flash the last OTA update to get the radio. I know with S-Off now it is possible to flash radios but that is of course why people also get bricks. Maybe someone can help my tired (800 posts and counting and 6 hours worth of "wire-tapping" understand what is needed/possible. TIA :confused:
[HTC Amaze 4G] blacksapphire08:
I couldnt get them to work either, try flashing through adb instead. Please see Binary's post on how to do this. It's a guide to flashing the CWM recovery and once you have that, then just boot into recovery and flash the superuser thing to get root back.

Someone asked about if flashing the radio would have any effect on going back to a GB ROM. I dont believe so but because I havent tried it I cant confirm.

So far i'm not really digging this ROM cause it's a stock T-Mobile ROM and has all the garbage with it. What really bothers me is that I cant turn off text prediction (it's grayed out in settings) and the battery life sucks compared to the NRG ROM I was using before. Some custom ICS ROMs cant come any sooner, lol.

In case anyone else is curious about this, here is the answer from NRG

Here is NRG's response: Actually you do not. GB ROMs (such as mine in this thread) work just fine with the ICS radio and ICS's updated partitions. Tested it out myself, by restoring a backup of my GB setup (system/data/boot) and it works great.:)

THAT WAS A RELIEF TO KNOW!!
