[HTC Amaze 4G] xxxman999:
I flashed back to stock an hr ago just to get the file as requested but it's seems like it ain't happening yet. I just cannot get the OTA to prompt for updates. Maybe it depends on the area or something.

sigh... sitting hear with GingerBread. Frankly, it ain't too bad. lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] Quentinfk:
I said it in a different thread, but I never rooted my phone, so I got the OTA update problem free.

Does my phone have to be rooted in order to pull the file you're talking about?
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrmako777:
Nope. Just use any file explorer to go to /cache and see if you see a zip file or another folder with a zip inside it. If you've already updated and rebooted, its prolly gone
[HTC Amaze 4G] Quentinfk:
It is. I can't see it in Astro.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
It's actually on the internal sd card, uploading to my4shared, eta 1 hour.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrmako777:
Nice. I was thinking it might be too big for /cache and download to the sd card instead. Good find :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
I updated my device while the file uploads, my bootloader is still unlocked and it updated just fine, not sure if I still have S-Off, gonna check in 5. ETA for upload is about 40 mins now. Gonna be checking out what's different with this update and the leaks.
[HTC Amaze 4G] iGoOsE76:
thanks Man... :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrmako777:
It shouldnt mess with s-off, but you'll have to reflash the eng hboot. What is the file size and checksum? It should be the same as the .3 leak
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Seems they gave me the 2.3.4 update first, smh, downloading the ICS update now, gonna tell you the file size and checksum in 5 mins. Gonna have to restart my upload, with my time warner ****ty connection, that's an entire hour :'(

Seems the file was indeed the correct file, but for some reason my device didn't update, maybe cause my bootloader is unlocked? I resumed the upload.

File Size is 348.54mb if I read correctly, no clue how to check md5's lol.

ETA: 30 Mins
[HTC Amaze 4G] hasoon2000:
Just browse for the file and let it check it. Copy and paste it here.

Got it from CNET here but I added it as an attachment.

Do we have to relock bootloader and root and stuff
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
You don't have to relock the bootloader, but you will have to flash back to stock GB, your unlocked bootloader/s-off remains the same after the update, you will have to reflash recovery and re-root after the update. It seems faster than my ARHD Rom I had before I updated to official, about to root and remove some bloat.
[HTC Amaze 4G] iGoOsE76:
do we install this the same way as the leak
[HTC Amaze 4G] AndroidKing:
Thank You but can we use internal sd to install
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
When it was downloaded it was on the internal sd card, so I'm assuming it can.
[HTC Amaze 4G] justinhub2003:
Im not rooted however need to flash this bc I am on the unofficial ICS rom and Im hoping this makes my reception better.

Anyway, what do I need to rename this to make it flash?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
PH85IMG.zip
[HTC Amaze 4G] iGoOsE76:
I tried that it doesn't flash..
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Well you'll probably have to go through the entire restore/update procedure or just follow one of the old tutorials.
[HTC Amaze 4G] justinhub2003:
yea me either. It foes through the checking portion it and then just go back to the hboot screen.

im not sure what the deal is.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Nevermind me
[HTC Amaze 4G] Mischmetal:
I think something's up with this update. It doesn't contain a system.img -- instead it has the images in firmware.zip, and actual directories for the system within the zip.

I'm a noob so I dunno, but it seems like the other RUUs I've seen have been structured somewhat differently.. :confused:
[HTC Amaze 4G] shekki:
Is your bootloader unlocked? Because I'm sure you'll need to relock your bootloader in order for the update to work.
[HTC Amaze 4G] iGoOsE76:
Nope never rooted , S on, never unlocked bootloader... I went from stock to leaked ics. I would really like to install this ota ics... Can anybody help a member out.:)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Just install the GB zip file via sd card PH85IMG and do the update via ota, that's the simplest way atm.
[HTC Amaze 4G] iGoOsE76:
I've tried that and I get a error message saying that the update is a older version and stops.. so I guess I'm sol.. huh... :(
[HTC Amaze 4G] hisandherturbo:
I'm the same boat.......
[HTC Amaze 4G] calmtea:
Booooomshakala

I tried too but yeh i dont think the zip file was flashable since its very different from the stock and leaked zip files before .... hopefully someone will give a a zip soon =p

BTW you wont be able to downgrade to GB from ICS since you guys are on s-on.

use the search bar its very helpful....

llooookieeee here

"You need S-OFF to go back to stock. You cannot downgrade HBOOT with S-ON, you can only use different roms with the same or a newer HBOOT using the mainver fix, not an older. The unbricking project is out now so just go for S-OFF. It's the only way to get back to any of the versions of Gingerbread (AFAIK)"

OH btw first POST EVER ....YEAYAH !!! hi5 oh and hI peeeeps :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrmako777:
i havent had a chance to download the file from my pc that dark nightmare posted up, but based on the file size, i assume this is not an ota to be flashed in hboot. you will likely need to flash in stock recovery, which means you have to be relocked, have stock recovery (duh), and still be on GB if you are s-on.

honestly, the easiest thing to do is to either a)flash .3 leak in hboot or b)if youre on gingerbread, update through system updates
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
I keep forgetting I'm S-Off and everyone isn't. :-\
[HTC Amaze 4G] aiwapro:
If you didn't go to ICS, and are trying to get the update, flash the stock recovery, flash the stock kernel, re-lock bootloader (some say you don't have to), find the stock RUU to match the version that you currently have on your phone, copy it to your SD card, reboot into bootloader, and it should be restore ok. After which, check for the update, and it should download and install just fine. I used this process successfully.

I had this version on my phone, PH85IMG_Ruby_TMOUS_1.43.531.3_Radio_1.08.550L.19DC_30.66.550L.08D_release_228638_signed.zip , so that is what I downloaded from here, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1617644 , and it worked.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrmako777:
im gonna download it tonight when i get a chance. i clicked on it yesterday and it said something about signing up for 4shared? i didnt have time last night to get all involved with it, but tonight i should have some free time...
[HTC Amaze 4G] Minker17:
Although it looks like the OTA is the same as the most recent leak. If I'm rooted, s-off, when the OTA comes online to download, can I just flash it over the leaked I have now?
[HTC Amaze 4G] iGoOsE76:
nope ... I've tried.. am i'm not tying to root my phone to get back to GB then update. the leak version works fine
[HTC Amaze 4G] silverbullet1013:
I am not with TMO, I would like to get the official update. I am currently using the latest leak ICS ROM. I used SuperCID my phone for me to use on a different carrier. Can I still SuperCID after the update. Did you use Hansoon's tool to revert all to stock?
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrmako777:
if you are running the latest leak, you have the official update
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Nope... Flash the latest leak... It's the same damn thing. You yourself even admitted that you know this.

USE THE LASEST FOOTBALL LEAK!

WHY DO U THINK HE LEAKED IT TO US. USE YOUR NOGGIN FOR SOMETHING BESIDES A HAMMER :banghead:
[HTC Amaze 4G] Minker17:
I know. :) I've just been experiencing some pretty terrible battery life on the leak compared to GB.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ed116:
Telus is releasing their update on May 28th there is no point on you upgrading to T-Mobiles (as i assume they have bloat and wifi calling) I am waiting so i guess i have to flash stock recovery and then relock bootloader as i restored to stock from bulletproof (i used a back-up not PH85IMG) and flashed stock kernel (from hasoon2000's toolkit) Anyways cant wait till it comes to telus... quick question we are able to achieve S-OFF after we have gone to ICS? or should i just do it now before ... im not sure if i even want s-off but with Sense 4.0 being a WIP it gives me a bit of hope that we will be getting Sense 4.0 (but then again CM9 has been a wip for a while now and not much has advanced .. but who knows) (no offense to sportstar ofcourse im just saying..)
[HTC Amaze 4G] GSMachinst:
So is this zip working? Im trying to update im on stock relocked an stock recovery ics .3 leak and it wont go through?
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrmako777:
you cant update to what youre already on. you guys who are already on the .3 leak DO NOT NEED TO FLASH THIS
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
I vote MrMako777 as funniest dude here
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrmako777:
ok, so i had a chance to download and take a look at the file. this is something that needs to be flashed in stock recovery. if you are already on an ICS leak, this will not work. if you are on GINGERBREAD WITH STOCK RECOVERY, LOCKED AND UNROOTED, you should be able to go into hboot>recovery and flash this. i cannot test it tho, since im already on the .3 leak

EDIT: OP updated
[HTC Amaze 4G] iGoOsE76:
i looked at this earlier and noticed that the build number was the only thing different from .3 leak and the ota ics
[HTC Amaze 4G] GSMachinst:
what is it?
[HTC Amaze 4G] iGoOsE76:
sorry I forgot to write it down.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrmako777:
The build number on the ota and leak are EXACTLY the same. You guys REALLY need to end your fascination with the ota. Flash the leak and be done with it!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Pics attached

Official update, software version etc:

Do what mako said if you wanna get on ICS, if you're not S-Off, there's no way you're getting back to GB to flash this.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Once S-Off, always S-Off, I probably downgraded and upgraded a million times just to figure out why no one else can flash the upgrade file, s-off is still there for me.

[HTC Amaze 4G] musti95:
Radio signal is different color in OTA version.Like a yellow color.But last leak version always white? So somethings different in OTA version,right?even little?

Some of them say all the time it's same with leak..It's diffrent ı see now.So can somebody put ota version of ics?
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrmako777:
funny how that guys build number seems to be off from what t-mobile has listed :rolleyes:

honestly, no need for me to keep reiterating what ive been saying for 2 weeks now. if Jesus himself came down and said they were the same, some of you still wouldnt believe. you guys can do whatever you want, its your phone, have at it...

Lmao you thought tmo suddenly went yellow with ICS? :banghead:
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
+1

(I would add a thanks but I hit my limit for today, sadly lol.)

Once we say it's the same, trust us, I even flashed back and forth just to check the files and any differences, kinda sucks since I had to set up my device all over again lol.

[HTC Amaze 4G] blacksapphire08:
Does the OTA version fix the signal problems? As in when you turn on WiFi it will often shut down wireless data/signal completely (cant get SMS, phone calls, etc).

[HTC Amaze 4G] gatorstew:
Sorry for the noob reply (I've been buried in the T-989 forum), but can someone tell me how to apply this OTA zip to this phone? My wife's Amaze 4g, for whatever reason, isn't recognizing that there's an update available. I checked multiple times yesterday for the ICS update via about phone option but it keeps saying 'no updates available'. Her phone is brand new, not even a month old so I know it's still stock and have definitely confirmed that it's running GB.

I have no problem applying flashing the zip in the OP as I've ready most of this thread stating that it's basically the OTA version. However, I do not know how to access the stock recovery on her phone and flash it.

Also, are there any known issues with this OTA release on this phone? Someone mentioned data shutting off completely? Is that a widespread ICS issue with this phone? Again, sorry, just playing catchup here as I'm more familiar with the SGS2. Thanks!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Download the update/latest leak, whichever since both are the same, rename the file PH85IMG and place it on her sd, not in any folders, just put it there, shut the phone down, hold the volume down and press the power button, should put you into bootloader, do not have the usb cable plugged in, it should find the file on the sd, should ask you to volume up to update or down to not update after a few minutes of finding the file, volume up and let it update, phone will reboot after it's complete, give it a few minutes to sort out the files then voila, have fun, lol.

The data thing hasn't happened with me, only problem I'm having is no wifi calling, well I can call out but can't receive any calls, but that's nothing major.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
READ/SEARCH BEFORE POSTING PLEASE... :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] gatorstew:
I actually read the entire thread. Not one place did it mention how to access the stock recovery. Searched the web but no definitive answer. Even pulled the PDF official manual from HTC's site. Nowhere to be found how to access recovery. Thanks.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Read back my reply to your post, there's no need to access stock recovery, everything is done in hboot.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
That doesn't mean read a thread about something other than what u are looking for... Lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] gatorstew:
Thanks sent... I guess that's where I was confused. I know nothing about HTC's... It's all a foreign language in these forums and just wanted some clarity. I've had some sort of Galaxy for the last two years and am used to Recovery/CWM.

So basically it won't look any different when I boot into bootloader? No wonder I was thinking it wasn't 'taking'. LOL Thanks again, I'll give it a go later today.

On a side note, wonder why her phone isn't recognizing that there's an update... I haven't seen anyone with that issue...
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
My MT4G never got gingerbread ota from froyo... I had to go tmo and have them flash from bootloader (before I knew anything about anything)
[HTC Amaze 4G] gatorstew:
Glad you had a laugh Lol...I guess the fact is, I didn't know what I was looking for. This HTC phone is all a foreign language as I'm only used to Samsungs. But yes, I did do a fair bit of searching for how to access recovey/bootloader - whatever it's called in the HTC world - in order to flash this, but apparently it's not done like the Galaxy phones. I'm good now. Thanks.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Actually the bootloader looks nothing like recovery, lol, but it's pretty straight forward, once you name the zip file PH85IMG and place it on the sd card, the boot will find it and process it, just volume up when it does. Tmo pulled the update from the server due to download issues, if you keep trying checking for android update you'll get the update.

If you need to root/install a recovery, that can be done after, just check the dev forum for the all in one kit.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrmako777:
Uh oh, GG might have himself some tech support competition now ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] gatorstew:
Download issues, you say? Guess I know now why her phone isn't finding that there's an update. Lol... What kind of 'download issues'? Anything similar to when they pulled the GB update on the MyTouch 4g?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
I'm new here, don't think I'm up for the challenge or even be on enough for that, lol, barely been here what? A week? Coming from the T989 and Nexus, lol, let GG keep his crown, I'm good being his backup :D.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Lmao... Man I've been seeing him take over and have been loving it. Eventually, after another 1000 posts or so, he will melt down too ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
To be honest I have no clue, I just read over on the tmo forums, one of the tech support guys said they had issues and had to pull the file from the server, they had it put back and should be available to those that weren't able to access the download.
[HTC Amaze 4G] gatorstew:
Lol... Either way, thanks to you and GG... I've learned a lot in the past half hour. Sorry to clutter your boards. :o
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrmako777:

Wait, what? Nothing major? Not being about to receive calls over WiFi seems like it'd be a major issue.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Just say I don't do much calling and since most of my contacts are on tmo, it doesn't use my minutes. Therefore I disable wifi calling so I can access wifi data and still receive my calls, etc without having any issues.
[HTC Amaze 4G] oryan_dunn:
I wonder if that's a widespread issue. My phone hasn't had the update yet, but I use WiFi calling all the time, so it'd be a showstopper for me.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
It seems widespread, but I wouldn't really know since I stopped using wifi calling a while ago, I intend to use that damn 5GB of data I'm paying for lol.
[HTC Amaze 4G] oryan_dunn:
Yeah, T-Mo is only 2G where I live, and has really poor indoor performance at home, so WiFi calling is a must. I only pay for 2GB of data, but I'd like to be able to use all 2GB on a cell connection, but that'd be a miracle if I did.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Are you S-Off or S-On? If S-Off you can upgrade, see what it's like, if you have issues, downgrade back to GB, if you're S-On, stay there until you hear better reports lol.

I've only seen 1 report of a guy not having issues, and I don't think he knew what we meant.

When I talk on WiFi calling, the reception gets more delayed as the convo goes on. Almost like I'm talking on a satellite phone to someone on other side of world. It got to 10 secs before we couldn't stand talking any more
[HTC Amaze 4G] oryan_dunn:
S-On currently. The S-Off tool says it'll work on the ICS ROMs, so I had planned on upgrading, and if it is really bad, S-Off, then downgrading.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] copc:
So I was at my local Fry's electronics (Fountain Valley, CA), they had all three on display (101, 201, 300) w/docs. Got to play with them a bit, it was a little busy there.

I have to say side by side the TFP shinned above the others in looks. I have a buddy in AZ that has the 101 so I already spent sometime comparing ours side by side. This was the first 300 I had seen and the display was not nearly as nice as the 201. I did not care for the plastic back either (I know why they did it, I am just saying the metal back gives it a better feel).

So if you have a local Fry's store and want to see all 3 side by side, go by and check the out. I just wish they had them on the wifi so you could do some more testing with browsers and such. I had to use my Evo 4G hotspot for internet. These stores need to get a clue on what to use to sell things.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Einride:
Good to hear.

When I was in Phoenix a couple of weeks ago, they only had the 101 in stock, the 201 was nowhere to be seen and the 300 was just about to be released. Nobody in-store knew when they'd get the prime back in stock, and one guy even said the prime was being phased out in favor of the 300...

A colleague of mine wanting to buy the 300 on release date went by the store and none of them even knew it was supposed to go on sale that day. He did manage to buy one though as they found it in their system, correct price and release date. No idea if Asus or fry's were to blame over the "botched" release, but there's room for improvement, that's for sure. Here's hoping they can keep the Prime (and Infinity) in stock so people can actually buy them now...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jnichols959:
I know only a handful of people have a device in their hands and it's probably not the production firmware, but browsing around the GS3 forums is kind of depressing. I've been watching these One X forums closely, hoping to see great feedback on the stock AT&T One X experience, progress on root/ROMs, or both. With the exception of root I'm sad to see AT&T preventing bootloader unlocks, AT&T/HTC messing with the US software, and a number of problems with Sense (though some of the latter is probably par for the course with a brand new firmware version from HTC). Browsing around on the Galaxy S 3 forums they seem to ship with bootloaders unlocked, there was a full firmware leak, and there's already an early root. At this early stage it seems like that device might end up being a lot easier to develop for.

I know it's probably too early to make any calls on a device that hasn't officially shipped yet, and who knows what kind of delays the North American LTE version will have - or what bastardization AT&T will manage with the GS3. But still, it looks promising over in GS3 land if only from a pure dev perspective.

Then there's the rumor of google selling multiple "Nexus" devices with multiple hardware vendors. Imagine if we had dev-friendly devices at the level of the One X or GS3 in the $400 price range!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] lucidlyseen:
well as far as I know it's AT&T that's preventing the boot loader unlock, not HTC, so when the GS3 comes to AT&T, they could very well do the same thing.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] aspj111:
I also read an article last night, that will annoy people on at&t who are waiting for the GS3. Apparentley verizon is getting the phone first and will have exlusivety over the other carriers for a time, don't know how long though.
