what's the basic u can restore? messages, bookmarks??

update: the system file failed so the update failed
[HTC Amaze 4G] Snargaflab:
Sorry, I should have been more clear. Most, if not all, user apps (as in ones from the play store) will restore properly. Very few system apps will. It is because they have all been updated with Sense 3.6.

it appears it works now..sry
[HTC Amaze 4G] Snargaflab:
What do you mean exactly? You tried to reflash through HBOOT and system failed with the same file that worked before? That's very strange. Redownload the file again, I've changed it since its original post.
[HTC Amaze 4G] fullmetal2k:
I did and still happen again, I'm just updating with the original file, I don't mind reflashing hboot and recovery
[HTC Amaze 4G] porkchopexpress:
We are still renaming this ph85img.zip, correct?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Snargaflab:
Sorry about that, accidentally uploaded it with the official updates name, didn't wanna confuse anyone, so I took it down and reuploaded it with the proper name.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Snargaflab:
Yes, it is necessary for HBOOT to realize the file is there. This is true of any update from HBOOT.

Seems like it would've been less of a hassle for you overall at this point. I'll keep an eye out for any other reports.

you can simply just re-flash the zips in your recovery of choice.

Thanks to the OP for this file, and also for using 4shared.. I can be quite happy with 5 minutes or less to download this file!

Here I am crossing my fingers! Yay. Only thing I wish was that there was a md5 to check, when it comes to not bricking my devices I am OCD about the damn checksums :)

So for the file I just downloaded called PH85IMG_RUBY_ICS_TMOUS_2.14.531.1NoHBOOTRecoveryNFC.zip the md5 I got was C91FDD3D2C4E3FB98C9B94CBFA68B886

i used this method and it worked pretty easy, the only problem I had is I lost root and it would only let me get into recovery by doing a battery pull from and go into recovery from hboot. So i reflashed revovery and superuser and it worked. I first just booted into reocvery from hboot which was cwm but it would get an error flashing super user but after i reinstalled cwm it worked just fine. I am now on ICS bloat removed and backed up. Yay!

[HTC Amaze 4G] porkchopexpress:
Haha no worries, I just wasn't sure what you had meant because I read it wrong! :p
[HTC Amaze 4G] Snargaflab:
There is no root because it is stock and that is because the HBOOT is not perfected. There is HBOOTS that after the flash you can hit volume up to reboot or volume down to return to bootloader but none exist for the Amaze. The error in superuser is normal (some kind of glitch that happens with superuser, happens on multiple roms and recoveries). There is no need to reflash recovery, you just have to use the reboot recovery option and flash it twice.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
What? The hboot is the amaze's hboot other phones hboot can have those features but ours don't the hboots are perfected
[HTC Amaze 4G] enigma7820:
you are probably right since I know cwm was still on there since I could boot into it from hboot but not rom manager. Just a cousindance that I reflashed the recovery and than super user flashed sucessfully after.

[HTC Amaze 4G] joeyboomboom:
If you're running a stock ROM with s-on and a locked bootloader you should be able to just rename the file to ph85img.zip place it in the root directory of your Sdcard.

[HTC Amaze 4G] Snargaflab:
I have actually been trying to do this, I understand it really well, I have just never done it before and I have a 50 hour per week job so it may take a while. If I can manage to do it the first release will only have the T-Mobile apps removed to ensure stability. If I can do this then I may also release an even more debloated version but that one will not necessarily be 100% stable as I remove a lot of stuff when I debloat for myself. I remove almost all the Sense apps. It seems perfectly stable to me when I do it with Titanium Backup but I don't use every single feature of the phone. I only uninstall the stuff I expect anything not to effect anything else and stuff you can get from the market like flash player, adobe reader, google maps, etc. as you can install these yourself at no charge and we have a 2.5GB application storage.
[HTC Amaze 4G] kaabob:
Have you tried the modified ICS hboot that keylogger posted in this forum?

Supposedly it's hybrid ICS SHIP Hboot that has fastboot command capabilities.

Also works for SuperCID.

It's also bundled in the modified ICS - so I'm assuming it will flash NFC to the newest version.

U should try removing recovery from the modified ICS link in keylogger's post. After such an update one would have a more compatible ICS hboot with retained S-OFF and fastboo command capabilities without touching current recovery :) :)

Anyone else having WiFi problems?

I'm having two issues...

2) It appears that the wifi is going to sleep even though I've told it to stay awake - I know because I'll leave my phone idle and when I go wake it wifi will be disconnected.

[HTC Amaze 4G] djxspike:
::bump::

Am I really the only one? Any ideas? Just re-flash it?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Spovik:
Though not a fix via the device, you can still accomplish the same goal by using your router setup. On most, there are settings where you can specify a preferred IP in your DHCP range for whatever device by it's MAC address. This may not be ideal for what you'r looking for if you're used to having an IP outside the range, but may still help.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Snargaflab:
I will add the link.

I have not had any issues. Did superuser say that the installation was successful? Sometimes you have to flash it a few times.

Not saying this won't work but the attached superuser zip already has the latest binaries so that shouldn't be it, although it could be. As far as I know you are way more experienced then me.

My wifi seems to stay awake, I'll do some testing. Other then the lack of HBOOT, Recovery and NFC this is stock HTC, compare the md5 sums. If there is any glitch it's doubtful that it has anything to do with this rom specifically as I have not made any modifications to the system files or the kernel. I will look into it and test against other roms. The settings for static IP are now under the advanced options when you connect to a network. You will have to forget the network and while reconnecting check the show advanced options box, it should be in there. Do you mean that doesn't work or you just didn't realize that the place for this setting had changed? I had to look it up after you mentioned it lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] Snargaflab:
I did not add an FAQ as there is not enough frequently asked questions. I have already integrated all useful information from the thread into the original post (I think, correct me if I'm wrong). However I have added the reasons why it is better not to flash HBOOT and Recovery.
[HTC Amaze 4G] djxspike:
I was using an app called WiFi Static to manage it: WiFi Static by Farpoc. Then I realized it was built into the advanced settings.

After some more testing - it will assign the static IP address, but it won't let me use an alternate gateway in our network (we have two: T1 that's slow as **** and Cable that's 14Mbps down - so of course I want to use the Cable, but T1 is default). It's not a HUGE deal since I get 10Mbps down inside my office anyway...

But the WiFi sleeping when it I tell it not to is the most annoying. I'm just going to re-download and re-flash it... Thank God for Titanium Backup.
[HTC Amaze 4G] djxspike:
It's funny... later that day my wifi started staying awake properly. Now if only I could get a non-default gateway to work for my office network... I'll play around with this some more today.

...even funnier... my non-default gateway setup magically starts working today. :::sigh:::

I've searched and i haven't. Really found anything explaining how to dual boot the nt. I have already rooted it internally using this method. But I'm not 100% sure how to dual boot. Any help and explanations are appreciated.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
Which two ROMs do you want to dual boot?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] YALORT:
I would like to use my cm9 and cm7. But stock nt would be fine too.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
You can do CM9/CM7. However, you must flash CM9 internal and run CM7 from SD.

So firstly, go ahead and flash the latest CM9 normally using CWM.

Then write the CM7 SD Version .img to your SD card. After that's done, go to the first partition of your SD card and replace the flashing_boot.img with Cyanoboot's flashing_boot.img.

That way, when you boot with the SD in your NT, you have access to the Cyanoboot boot loader and can choose which ROM you want to run.

At least, this is the way I did it, and it has worked for me since the CM9 release.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] YALORT:
Thank you so much. This is a huge help!!

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] YALORT:
After i burn the sdcard it tells me. To format it. Ill retry the burn then i wont format and see what happens
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
By formatting, you might have erased the data on the boot partition of the SD card.

Moral of the story: Never trust Windows. It's always trying to mess up what you're actually trying to do.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] YALORT:
When I don't format my nook says the card is damaged. Thanks for your help buddy. I'll just start trying to fix the problems I've found in cm9. Thanks.

I went to a Behind the Tiles event last night in Minneapolis. About 20 people showed up, and there were 10-15 MS employees on hand. Needless to say there was pleanty of oportunity to talk to MS employees one on one and ask very specific questions. The people who presented / made themselves readily available were very knowledgable.

Most attendees were WP7 users already: Just about 1/2 were developers, the other 1/2 were in IT/IS in one capacity or another or at least a technology enthusiast. It was not a developer-oriented event (JIC you didn't know...)

If you're new to windows phone then this is a very good event to see the features demonstrated. Even after 1.5 years of being on the OS I still learned quite a bit about application features (pinning is more detailed than I've been using, integration with areas of the OS where the appropriate apps are located), and a very good demonstration of Bing, which has a TON more features than I've been using.

Everyone had a Nokia 900 provided to play with (focus on Me tile, setting up, etc.), and for Bing we were able to execute translations, scan pictures with the camera for text which we then sent in an e-mail, playing music on the phone and having Bing display the artist and where to buy the albumn / song, and focused a lot on voice commands and how to simply talk to your phone w/out pushing any buttons. It was pretty cool, actually. One thing that stuck out in my mind was that the malls in Bing Maps have detailed floor maps (complete with store names) that I didn't know existed, which was nice to see. They also showed how to filter results from Bing search easily.

In addition, they demoed some future tech (XBox, Kinect, and WP working together), talked about Win8 and WP8 a little (very little, but at least it was direct) and focused one of the sections on business use (also very enlightening).

At the end they gave away an NL 900, 2 StarWars XBox units, and 4,000 gamer points. Given the people there, it was a 1/5 chance to win one of those (of course, I didn't win anything =) ). Not sure if those are given out at each event, so YMMV - that's what they had to offer last night. Oh, and light swag (notebook, I <3 Win Phone stickers, etc.).

Lastly, BestBuy offered $50 off the $99 Lumia 900 if you were eligible, so It's a good way to save a buck or two if that's of interest.

If you were on the fence I recommend signing up - it was worth my time for sure!
