OK I just ran through that progress bar on the white screen again.

after it was done "checking" PH85img.zip it went back to the main menu.. it did not ask to perform the update.

i have:

HBOOT (highlighted in blue)

<vol up> to previous item

<vol down> to next item

<power> to select

FASTBOOT (highlighted in blue)

RECOVERY

FACTORY RESET

CLEAR STORAGE

SIMLOCK

IMAGE CRC

note: i have my sim card removed.. will try again with it back in.

I'm wondering if perhaps there is some junk in my phone internal memory/storage that is causing the issue? Is there a way to clear out whatever may be in internal memory?

Because the sd card is a new and freshly formatted card, so it cant be that..
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
Definitely a great idea if u have time and camera... Only prob is u will have to post it like 50 different threads ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
Very unlikely

Your bootloader is "LOCKED" or "RELOCKED" right? Because it has to be for it to work
[HTC Amaze 4G] tiki66:
yup it says "locked" at the top of the bootloader screen.

i just tried the whole thing again with the sim card put back in and had the same result- just brings me back to the main bootloader screen.. should I try a "factory reset"?

one note: I didnt download the zip file from filefactory, as it was going to take 3+ hours

so i googled the filename and found a page with it available at d-h.st and grabbed that one.

I assume its the same file, but perhaps not the latest version?
[HTC Amaze 4G] thinksecretly:
It seems to me you got a bad download. This was happining to me when I was trying to update to ics. I would try to download the ics leak in the devolopment section posted on may 5th by football then proceed with your steps.

Place file on sd card (not in any folders)

Rename to PH85IMG

Put sd card back in phone

Pull battery and put it back in

Volume down and power button

I also used the dev-host mirror. It was from Hasoon2000 on page 3-4 of football's second thread. Maybe try redownloading
[HTC Amaze 4G] tiki66:
WOW

Looks like I finally got it to DO SOMETHING! :)

I re-formatted my sd card to get rid of the zip i had on there.

I downloaded the RUU zip file from the filefactory URL while I slept last night (Took like 3 hours)

once I got it down I noticed the file's name is actaully between apostrophes, so my PC didnt recognize it as having an actual file type.

I went ahead and renamed it to PH85img.zip and moved it over to my sd card.

but sometimes that part acted a little wonky (it did some weird stuff trying to move it over to the SD card the first time after I had renamed the file from dev-host)

..so I would recommend making a copy of the file on your computer as a backup (since it takes hours to download)

and then moving it over to your SD card first, and THEN rename it once its already on the SD Card.

But anyway, I had actually done the renaming on my PC, and then drag/dropped it to the SD card. It sat there doing some odd "discovering" for awhile and then completed. So the PH85img.zip was now on my SD.

I put the SD back in the phone, had a fully charged battery in there since I charged it overnight.

held vol down and power button and it found the zip and started loading it, then checking it.

Once it was done checking it *finally* asked me to perform the update by pressing a vol key. (never did this before)

and now I am in the process.

So maybe I had a bad zip all these past times (?)

I'll keep you posted.

oh as a side note, the SIM card is not in my phone as i run the update. I had pulled it out to setup my ancient G1 as a temp phone because I thought I was going to have to send the Amaze back to HTC.
[HTC Amaze 4G] tiki66:
OMG SUCCESS!

Update completed, it told me to hit power to reboot.

Did it with fingers crossed and got that same old white HTC screen where it had been locking on.. that wasnt good to see.

But after a few seconds, it got past that and went to the white HTC screen with "quietly brilliant" on it.. had never seen that

then the black screen with the annoyingly loud Tmobile Jingle + Android 4G logo.

sat there for awhile, and now I'm IN!

It's asking for my SIM card now, so I gotta reboot again, but looks like it finally worked.

THANKS XDA! :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] tiki66:
OK followup-

It's working now. Got my SIM in and went through the ICS setup, etc.

It finally was able to sync my google contacts over so now I can make/get calls check email, etc.

Next thing I've gotta do is try and get all my setup + apps back in order. I will put in my old sim card and try to reinstall smart keyboard, go launcher, etc. hopefully i will be able to restore my old tweaked settings, but somehow i doubt it.

Will post back
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Glad to hear it worked.

Your SIM card is not app storage. You most certainly lost ALL DATA AND APPS FROM GB THAT WAS NOT ON YOUR EXT SD.

Good news is, Google remembers your apps. Go to play store, hit menu, my apps. Slide the page over to "All"

Start installing one by one. Have fun :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] Alan Corona:
Lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
To the guy with the OTA file, we already have that lol, both leaked and officially by me, congrats to the OP, see? A little patience pays don't ya think? Have fun. ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Leaked by you? I thought Football leaked the first 2 leaks then tmo pushed an ota... Which isn't a leak @ all?
[HTC Amaze 4G] tiki66:
Heh, yes i am in the endless hell of manually installing my apps one by one right now.

I actually have that google backup thing enabled and it was attempting to download 148 apps at once.

I stopped it though. but now.. I'm thinking maybe i should have just let it do it and then go back and nuke the ones i didnt want- probably would have been faster.

I installed go launcher and tried to restore from the backup on my SD card, but it failed. It always fails with go launcher though.. that part annoys me- they need to improve the backup feature becuase it seems anytime you have to wipe and then reinstall go launcher, it cant restore your old screen setup.

I installed Smart Keyboard and tried to restore my settings from SD card and that failed also, but re-setting it up only takes a minute so that wasnt too bad.

Here's the worst thing so far- all my browser bookmarks are gone it seems.

I kinda recall that the Google Backup had restored them in the past, so I'm tempted to to a factory reset and let google do its full backup thing to see if they come back.

Is there a way to manually have google grab my old bookmarks? It does seem to store them somewhere, but I cant find any settings to have it pull things down manually- it only seems to appear magically after a factory reset ..??
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
I said the official file by me, football did leak the first two files, the last ota and the last leak are the same but I'm js, I pulled the file for the ota, making no claims on leaks.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Good call on stopping the google backup. I prefer manually... Even if it takes forever.

Now that u have ICS, put down go launcher and use Apex launcher from market.

DON'T FORGET: 4EXT and do a BACKUP
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
+1

---------- Post added at 04:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:57 PM ----------

Hey glacier, I just remembered, this guy didn't/doesn't root, so the 4EXT is a no no along with the back up, though I do encourage him to do so, just in case he runs into a problem at some point in time.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
No root? Does that exist? Sorry man, that's Greek to me ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Lol I can't argue, I once tried that but it's just something you gotta have, even on stock and I loooove 4EXT recovery.
[HTC Amaze 4G] tiki66:
Well so far so good- got most of the stuff back on, and I'm rebuilding my homescreens now.

I wish Google Play would simply let you scroll down the list of "all" apps and check off the ones you want to install, and then do a mass-download.

Going one by one is insane.

I will have to take a look at Apex launcher. thanks for the tip.

So far only two things are really bugging me still-

1) For some reason, on the notification bar, its keeping a blank space open to the left between icons. this has to do with my third party keyboard- "smart keyboard pro"

it seems that it stays blank until i go to enter text, and then a keyboard icon shows up there- if you click it it says "input method"

Its pretty useless and irritating to see a blank space there all the time.. anyone know how to disable that? It seems to be an ICS thing.

2) The other thing that is bugging me is the way the new browser handles the notification bar. It keeps tucking it away off the top of the screen, but I want it to stay visible like is always has in the past. A tiny bit of screen real estate at the top doesnt matter to me- I'd rather see how many bars I've got, the time, etc.

I cant find a way to make it stay visible, though. Best I can do so far is hit the menu key to force it back up- thats pretty dumb. I hate it when they take stuff away permanently instead of making an **option** what is up with that?:eek:

Despite those two things, everything else seems to be working just fine.

I actually did a factory reset to see if the Google Restore would bring my bookmarks back... but it never did. I may have a copy on my PC somewhere. It's not a huge deal, but a bit of work to recreate.. wish Google would sync bookmarks with my account.
[HTC Amaze 4G] tiki66:
Ugh.. looks like you can't remove that input method icon:

http://androidforums.com/samsung-ga...sable-input-method-icon-notification-bar.html

That's a dumb thing to force on us.

How often do I really change my input method? Not enough to want it in the notification bar, thats for sure- why not give us the option to remove that and change it thru settings?

I'm apparently not the only one who hates it: http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus/472279-select-input-method-notification.html
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Agree about stock browser and notification bar. Another issue with that browser, is try clicking on a link here in forums to mediafire... It won't load the page. I have to use dolphin for that
[HTC Amaze 4G] JesseMT4G:
Glad to hear you got it working. Makes me glad o didn't experience this as there is no way I would have the patience you did.

I also don't get the keyboard icon. I rarely change keyboards....perfect keyboard pro works great for me.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
If any site, example mediafire won't load, simply hit the menu button and choose request desktop site, it should work fine then.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :

I went to hboot the first time and in the fastboot menu i picked power off and my phone went off and it didnt power any more or even hboot. I pulled the battery out after 2min and returned it but it couldn't power at all. When i put the usb charger it does not show any notification to indicate that its charging.

What the hell did you do to cause that? Is the battery even partially charged?

Hi! I was wondering how to get an unbranded version of LG OPTIMUS PRO C660H firmware. On this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1425783 there is a link to download a ROM there. I downloaded it and installed it on my phone and started to BOOT LOOP. So I downloaded the original branded firmware with the software mentioned here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1073827 And I was able to return to it's original state.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XSafire:
So ICS supports USB gamepads/mice/keyboards which is awesome. The only problem is that the Galaxy Nexus only has one available USB port.

How can I connect a USB device to the gnex and charge it simultaneously?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] subvertz:
Powered USB hub.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XSafire:
I see how that could work, however I want as little bulk as possible, and a USB hub would add a lot of clutter.

That got me thinking though.

Would there be any problem with charging and playing using this diagram?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] androo45:
It isn't going to work, since the usb port on a nexus only can do one thing at a time: charging/being a slave (transferring files from a pc) or act as a host (for a keyboard/mouse/gamecontroller). This will not work together until a kernel dev finds/creates a workaround.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] collingall:
Usb OTG supports accessory/charge mode, but the cable has to have the correct id for the usb chip to allow it. I don't think any cables have this enabled as of yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XSafire:
This cable won't suffice?

http://www.amazon.com/T-Flash-Adapt..._1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1337812370&sr=1-1

If not, what has to be done to enable this?

Also, does this mean the powered USB hub won't work either?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moe6:
I have a feeling that even if charging works (and I think it should) it will only charge at 500mA as I doubt OTG will work properly if you enable Fast USB charge. At the very least your battery won't die out quickly I guess, depending on the game's requirements hardware wise.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] subvertz:
I'll try it out tonight if I can find my damn OTG cable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] subvertz:
Confirmation: Does not work.

Found my cable, and connected the phone to a powered usb hub. It actually would not charge OR read a thumb drive with stick mount. Both worked seperately, but the OTG is not a multitasker. Sorry.

Galaxy Nexus AOKP m5 Franco kernel m3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Call Recorder is the only app that I know of that records both sides, and it works great. It's a little pricey though...

As for kernels, it certainly works with the stock kernel. Check out this thread for other kernel compatibility.

---------- Post added at 09:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:51 PM ----------

As for the legality, it depends on which country/state/province/etc you are in.

For example, in some states, it is legal as long as one party knows the call is being recorded. In others, both parties need to know that the call is being recorded.

[HTC One X] huwwatkins:
I managed to get one of these and they are worth the effort.

I had to phone around 5 times being bounced between first line support and the network team - all giving me different excuses why I could not have one.

Filled out a complaints form on their website here -:

https://www.three.co.uk/Support/Contact_us/Complaints_code_form

I complained about there being no defined criteria and that I could not get anyone to give me a clear reason why I could not have a homesignal box. Also - one person I spoke to was very rude and cut me off - so I put that in for good measure.

They phoned back 5 days later - took some more information from me about my broadband speed etc and passed it back to the network team.

Network team phoned me the next day - offered me either money off or a home signal.

Once I got three on side they could not have been more helpful - but getting them onside was really difficult!

I understand these boxes aren't cheap but they would keep/attract so many customers!

Was sent out by next day courier.
