...yes. I know.

I said before, I tried installing busybox and su says it failed to get root access when updating busy box. SuperUser IS in the app drawer. I've flashed 3.0.5 and 3.0.7 and nether giver busybox installer root access.

When I try using the all in one tool, it does it's thing, but when I try to open super user it force closes. Neither root method has worked for me. I've also reinstalled the the ICS update and still nothing.

Thanks in advance for the help, folks.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Marquis63:
THANK YOU MOST EMPHATICALLY, it was a corrupted file lol, of course my hair is white now, but I haz ICS
[HTC Amaze 4G] frodoboy:
Probably a long shot but have you tried to fix permissions in recovery? Also, if you have the Titanium Backup app, there is a troubleshooting tab that tries to diagnose why you don't have root. Maybe you could try that as well???
[HTC Amaze 4G] nbturbos:
Yes I tried the permissions thing as well, still nothing.

However I just ended up flashing NRGs ROM and it works flawlessly now. ICS with root, I'm a happy camper. :cool:
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Cmon guys... Download busybox app from market and install busybox... Then update SU

NrGz ROM has busybox incorporated... Like most custom roms. Stock roms never do.

[HTC Amaze 4G] jauhien:
I spent a few hours reading tons of interesting posts here - however still didn't get the answer I am looking for..

PLEASE.

I was locked and consequently easily flashed the leaked ICS from my ext sd card.

Then I unlocked the bootloader at htcdev.com with no probs.

So is there any way to root the amaze with ICS as today? Or such amazing possibility is somewhere within the future days?

Thank you.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jimczyz:
Same way as before. Install a custom recovery, like CWM, then flash superuser and you will be rooted.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jauhien:
I tried it to install recovery from my ext sd card - but got the message as follows:

""Main Version is older!

Update Fail!

Press <POWER> to reboot!""

Was it due to being of S_ON? or there is some better way to install it, which would work with even S_ON?

Thank You.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jimczyz:
Download Cwm 5.0.2.7 and rename it PH85IMG. Put it on your sd card and boot into bootloader and let it install from there.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jauhien:
Thank you.

I just searched and got a dozen files 'pretending' to be the best Cwm 5.0.2.7.. I tried this one http://icxperia.com/doomlord/kindle-fire/KINDLE-FIRE-UtterChaos-CWM5-touch-v01-FINAL-1_recovery.img but it did not do the job..

Could you please paste the correct link leading to the needed one.

Thanks a million.

[HTC Amaze 4G] LS1_01:
I'm trying this too and I'm not even getting an error. It just goes back to the main bootloader screen after Checking/Verifying the zip file. Is it because I encrypted the entire device already using the built-in ICS encryption?

Running ICS Stock (with stock HBOOT?) with relocked bootlader & S-ON? Is that causing issues?
[HTC Amaze 4G] lamenramen:
Maybe this is too late to ask, but can I go back to the stock gingerbread Tmobile Rom?

I successfully flashed the ICS Tmobile update, but when I try to flash the gingerbread ROM, I'm getting an update is older than the main file error message.
[HTC Amaze 4G] LS1_01:
I was able to get the same error as you then I unlocked the bootloader using the Amaze All In One Toolkit even with S-ON and was able to flash CWM 5.0.2.6 via the toolkit. I was also able to get root by flashing it via CWM but unlocking the bootloader wiped everything back to factory ICS...give it a try!
[HTC Amaze 4G] spiz516:
I apologize if this issue has been addressed but I didn't see it in the hundreds of posts.

I am currently S-on, have flashed a stock recovery, and relocked the phone. Well, I was thinking this was the proper order, however I am unable to boot the phone past the Fastboot screen in order to place the downloaded RUU onto my SD card.

Any help here?

EDIT: Well I just unlocked the bootloader again, rebooted, placed the RUU on the SD Card and renamed it. Then I locked the bootloader again. It appears to be doing it's thing and updating.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
You're probably good to go. Don't interrupt process.... /system will unzip and install several times... It's normal.

[HTC Amaze 4G] DarkShim:
Hey guys...

I've gone through every message in this thread and I'm fairly confident this question never came up... Before I ask, I have to say I followed ALL directions and the only thing I had an issue with was obtaining S-OFF... Apparently my timing wasn't right, but I finally got it. Other than that, everything was flawless. Many thanks to all those who were kind and patient enough to give directions.

That being said, I had an interesting thing happen. I've never seen it before in any ROM I've ever flashed. About a day after I updated to ICS, I got an SU request by the SYSTEM. Why would a stock ROM request SU permissions? If anyone can shed any light before I reflash my GB rom, I would appreciate it.

EDIT: I wanted to add that this took place before I installed Busybox.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jimczyz:
Most likely it was su that was sending the request to update.
[HTC Amaze 4G] DarkShim:
I don't know. I've never seen SU request super user privileges either. Anyone else have any ideas?
[HTC Amaze 4G] jimczyz:
Actually I have, I even showed my wife. I thought it was funny that su was requesting su privileges.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
I saw that on mine too before busybox was installed. Never seen it before in my life. I allowed and haven't seen it again since. :confused:

[HTC Amaze 4G] menacke:
Thank you so much got it running on my phone now thinking about putting s off back on and throwing super user back on it but I'm happy with the stock ics as is
[HTC Amaze 4G] NeoAndroid:
I am currently just rooted and S-On plus Bootloader unlocked with this ROM and very pleased. It seems faster and smooher than custom ROM on GB(Energy or ARHD). I dont think i need S-Off untill the next radio update is up. This way my phone is furher away from possible Brick.

1. I delete this, it drains alot of your battery.

2. I leave because I don't know what it does.

3. Same as number 2

4. Maps? Why would you want to delete maps? You don't use gps? Maps is awesome.

5. Always sounded important to me so I leave it.

6. Location picker I delete. I tried figuring out what it does but can't seem to find what. It doesnt seem important and i dont see a difference when deleting it. So, gone!

7. It has network in it so I leave it.

[HTC Amaze 4G] otivaeey:
I'm a newbie here. Newbie is newbie, have searched this thread and learnt nothing. I have a Tmo stock at 1.43.515 version. Virgin phone, did nothing about bootloader and S-off. I have renamed ROM to PH85IMG.zip and put at /mnt/sdcard. Turned off, I pressed vol down and power briefly, and I'm into Hboot. Do I need to take battery out before this? Do I need to put into phone memory (ROM) or external SD?

I go to fastboot, then reboot. Nothing happened, just resetting.

There are other options like reboot bootloader blablabla, what are they for?

Anyone instructs me how to flash the ICS update?
[HTC Amaze 4G] theinitial21:
it should automatically see it in hboot and load the zip file. ur saying that its not doing that?
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
When u get to hboot, press the power putton to select bootloader. Then it reads it.

If that didn't work, using root explorer, put it in the root of /sdcard2 folder and go to bootloader and try again

Sent from my iced out HTC Ruby
[HTC Amaze 4G] kaabob:
Place in /sdcard2/

Or if not @ system root,

Place in /sdcard/ext_sd/
[HTC Amaze 4G] BorisZX6R:
Make sure the rom is placed on your external SD card and also make sure you did not rename it PH85IMG.zip.zip by accident ".zip" is the file extension and should not be part of the file name itself.

If using windows rename file to PH85IMG and once you do if it still has the icon of a zipped folder then it is correct, no need to add .zip to it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ifatalityx:
Got myself in a little problem. Flashed the update perfectly everything worked correctly. It was only until I wanted to root my phone that it got complicated. I used the same Hasoon2000 All-in-one method as I used and was familiar with, I got re-unlocked, flashed TWRP recovery, but when I flashed the Stock T-mobile kernel, my phone gets stuck on the HTC screen. It can boot into bootloader, I can alter between locking and unlocking the device back and forth, but when it comes to actually booting up past the HTC screen it stays stuck. Tried going into TWRP recovery and mounting my SD, but no dice. As of now I'm re-downloading the Unofficial official update from the OP, hoping that I can reflash but the problem is I don't think I can place the zip from my computer to my main SD.

Any help? Much appreciated.

Edit: When I mount USB storage it asks me to format my entire SD 9.76GBs. I'm a little hesitant to do so as I'm unsure if it will fix or then allow me to put the .zip file back on and hopefully reflash, kernel and all.
[HTC Amaze 4G] zPacKRat:
Why did you flash a kernel after installing the ics ruu? I would reflash the ruu and start over, however don't flash a kernel.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ifatalityx:
Yeah learned the hard way. I just recently ended up fixing it via CWM.
[HTC Amaze 4G] seanvree:
Great ROM, very stable. However a couple of issues . . .

1 - I do not have the Phone, Mail, or any other options next to the "All Apps" button on the home screen? (See screenshot)

http://db.tt/7xkscIoh

2 - There are no shortcuts on the home lock screen and I can't seem to find where to add/customize them?

3 - I have root access so how do I remove the bloatware? I downloaded a third-party app, but it didn't list any of the apps that came with the ROM. Is this possible?

Simple issues I think. Again, thanks for the ROM!
[HTC Amaze 4G] theinitial21:
is there anyway i can edit the zip file and takeout unnecessary apps and bloat without damaging it?
[HTC Amaze 4G] jauhien:
How about Titanium Backup from google play store?

P.S.

With the help of TB I have already removed about fifty of awesome crap pre-installed apk's... Antutu benchmark is showing 6300 on this leaked but quite de-bloated stock. ;-)
[HTC Amaze 4G] mskelbel:
This might help

[/COLOR]

I hope these things help

1. Have you tried dragging the icons from above to the apps bar next to the "all apps" icon? That's what I had to do.

2. click the menu button then click personalize. At the bottom of the display, you'll see the word "display." Click that. then you'll see a check box for showing icons on the lock screen. I'm not sure if they are customizable or not.

3. Some of the bloat allows you to disable it even without rooting. Not quite the same, but almost as good. You'll have to go in and look because I'm not remembering at the moment which ones did and didn't. I know the MobileLife Contacts doesn't allow you to disable. I found that under accounts. However you can uncheck the sync, which is almost what you'll want. This is a big battery drain for me.

[HTC Amaze 4G] StuartTheFish:
Could someone please post a screenshot of the camera so I know which one this ROM comes with?
[HTC Amaze 4G] jauhien:
And the camera UI is fairly the same as it was in GB...
[HTC Amaze 4G] StuartTheFish:
Thanks, but what I mean is a screenshot of the actual app in use so I can see if it's still the amaze camera or not. For example, this is the camera I currently have on my sensation:

The amaze camera on gingerbread however was much better, with auto focus, etc.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jauhien:
You got full model number anyhow..
[HTC Amaze 4G] StuartTheFish:
That looks like the amaze camera to me! So that's on the ics ROM? Marvelous, I'll try porting that to my sensation then! Thanks!
[HTC Amaze 4G] StuartTheFish:
Hmm, I'd downloaded this thinking I'd be able to open it on my PC and pick out the bits I need to port the camera over, but it just says it's invalid. I assume it's encrypted just for fastboot then. Is there any way I can open it?

Or could someone kindly drop the bits I need into dropbox or something? I'd need the following files:

META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary

META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script

system/app/HTCAlbum.apk

system/app/HtcAlbumMapView.apk

system/app/HTCCamera.apk

system/etc/media_profiles.xml

system/framework/com.scalado.android.highlights.jar

system/framework/com.scalado.caps.jar

system/lib/libcapsjava.so

system/lib/libcapsjava_ar.so

system/lib/libmeta_man_album_jni.so

system/lib/libscalado_htcalbum2.so

I was hoping to pick these files out myself, but I can't open the PG85IMG.zip on my computer, and I certainly can't install it since I've got a different phone!
[HTC Amaze 4G] kaabob:
What the... I don't think I've ever gotten a shot that looks THAT good on the Amaze!

I was always disappointed by the pix on the Amaze, even tho it's suppose to have a great camera...

Unless i'm talking out of my rear end and they both have the same camera. then that would mean the software/firmware on the sensation is superior...
[HTC Amaze 4G] StuartTheFish:
The hardware is the same I think, but the amaze camera auto focuses, has face detection, etc. As for the actual image quality, neither are any worse than the other as far as I could tell back when I was on gingerbread.

[HTC Amaze 4G] imrazor:
How do I flash a bog-standard, plain vanilla Amaze 4G? No unlocked bootloader, no root, no S-OFF. This is a virgin phone that hasn't been modded in ANY way, except for a custom launcher and the usual assortment of apps. Furthermore, at this point I don't want root, S-OFF or an unlocked bootloader. I just want ICS on my phone. Since this is an official ROM, it should be simple, right? Unfortunately after sifting through this thread for a couple of hours I'm not seeing it.

I've placed the PH85IMG.zip file in the root of my external SD card. From my reading it seems I need to get to HBOOT. Holding down Power+Volume Down to boot the phone doesn't get me anywhere special. Where am I going wrong?
[HTC Amaze 4G] imrazor:
I figured out that fastboot needed to be disabled. Then I had to find it under Settings>Power. I'm flashing it now.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jimczyz:
Rooting and S-Off are 2 different things. To root your phone, you need to unlock your bootloader with the HTCDev tool. You can achieve that easily by using [TOOL] HTC Amaze 4G All-In-One Toolkit V3.0 [3-22-2012] [PERM ROOT] [Noob-Proof] from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1493905 just follow the directions with it and you will be bootloader unlocked and rooted in no time.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Daviddc1144:
Thank you VERY much!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Daviddc1144:
So you can use the phone completely stock to use the ICS ROM?? useing the factory bootloader???

THEN use the HTC tool to root..
[HTC Amaze 4G] kered424:
Yes, if you're S-ON, keep bootloader locked.

Put PH85IMG.zip on your ext SD card, boot into bootloader. It'll automatically install ICS.

After installing, unlock the bootloader using HTCDev.

Then install custom recovery (4ext is the best).

Flash SuperUser in recovery to gain root.

Tip:

Try Hasoon's All-in-one toolkit to make your life easier.

Also, don't know if you've noticed, there's a newer leak of ICS. You might want to flash that one instead.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Daviddc1144:

[HTC Amaze 4G] kered424:

Hi, just flashed this on my amaze. I was wondering if there was a list of bloatware that was safe to remove and if so, is someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks.
[HTC Amaze 4G] falconeyedtiger:
Yes! It took me like 6hrs to figure out how to root/get s-off etc, was way harder than what I had to do with my last phone (hd2) but unless you're willing to do the research you'll never learn and figure out how to keep up with all the hard work the devs are putting in. I think that unless you enjoy the process of figuring out the "puzzle" that's inherent to each device, who's pieces have been all PLAINLY laid out, you shouldn't be screwing with your phone to start with.
[HTC Amaze 4G] theinitial21:
exactly. research first and try it on your own before asking questions. everyone should at least try instead of not trying and expecting answers immediately. thats the only way anyone will be able to learn and know how to manage their phone.
