No, you just need to unlock at htcdev. Then you can root, give me a sec and ill give you another link. Once you think you can flash your phone to boost, I suggest getting s-off. Just less issues with s-off flashing.

Edit... A lot of guides out there, check the roll up sticky thread. This one will probably work. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1239821

THank man, i wish i could click thanks a thousand times. I'll try this method and see what i get.
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
Any time.. btw, you might be able to do the wire trick to get s-off without messing up the flash. It's in the dev section, called something like junoputabear s-off. Ask in that thread, maybe someone will know.
[HTC EVO 3D] _xNova:
I got root, and recovery but for some reason the fastboot method wher you extrtact the boot.img and use fastboot to load recovery doesn't work for ICS roms, they bootloop. I found a working Gingerbread rom and I like it. Only issue is i wanted an ICS app. Btw, which gapps should I flash for 2.3.4?
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
From what I remember, if you boot a recovery from fastboot (fastboot boot recovery.img), you wouldn't need to extract any boot image. When you boot a recovery from fastboot, you'll be able to write to the boot partition, so all you need to do is flash the rom and it should work. With that said, I've read a lot of times that flashing ics roms with s-on will cause bootloops. I've never seen that personally, I was s-off before ics came along.

You probably know this but ill say it just incase. You only flash gapps on aosp roms. I think all the ics gapps say ics in the name, and most of the time gapps for any rom are linked in the same thread as the rom.

Look at your pm in a little bit. I'm gonna send you some stuff that'll help you figure out how to correctly flash a phone so that you can s-off without worry. I can't really post it here.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silvscorp:
Apparently, when I used the toolkit to unlock the device, it erased everything on the internal (SD) memory as well. If I am flashing a custom rom, does the full wipe option erase the SD as well??
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AaronDC19:
If you are referring to the SDcard folder on your Internal Memory, no a full wipe does not erase the SDcard folder. It wipes everything else though.

Hi maybe you are missing some projects

try this on you local_manifest.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<manifest>

<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_saga" path="device/htc/saga" remote="github" revision="ics" />

<project name="nexx/proprietary_vendor_htc" path="vendor/htc" remote="github" revision="ics" />

</manifest>

i think you need to go to vendor/cm/ and excute get-prebuilds or something like that if you get some rommanager error
[HTC Desire S] BillGoss:
This is what my local_manifest.xml looks like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

The brunch saga command added these additional entries automatically.
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
I know this seems like a long shot and it may not fix the problem but it could be Ubuntu 12.04 causing problems. 10.04 is the best version. Also you don't need to add the kernel to the local manifest unless you're creating a custom one. It's already in the device tree
[HTC Desire S] tuttifrutas:
Is your repository properly synchronized? If not it is probably your build machine

[HTC Desire S] BillGoss:
I did a complete reinstall on Ubuntu 10.04. But I still get the same errors. Note, I've updated the OP with more details on my environment and the steps I went through.
[HTC Desire S] tuttifrutas:
i got the same error when i tried to compile it on a Virtual machine. I'm not an expert but it seems to me that the file vendor/htc/saga/proprietary/libaudioalsa.so should have that function but it doesn't !? correct me if i'm wrong

try extracting the files from one of cm9 alpha builds using the script extract-files.sh under the folder device/htc/saga/

or just open the cm9 alpha zip file goto system/lib copy and replace the file libaudioalsa.so in the dir vendor/htc/saga/proprietary/

EDIT:

the proprietary repository, that is added using brunch saga, is the culprit it breaks the build
[HTC Desire S] BillGoss:
I managed to get a working build!

The errors point to some missing functions called by hardware/qcom/media/audio/msm7x30/AudioHardware.cpp

So I had a look at the code and found that there were two conditions that invoked the problem code:

#ifdef WITH_QCOM_RESETALL

and

#ifdef WITH_QCOM_VOIPMUTE

So I commented out these sections and, voila, it compiled!

Now, I have no idea what is the broader impact of what I've done, but the build work and runs on the phone.

So I'm changing this thread for [Q] to [Partial solution]
[HTC Desire S] BillGoss:
Can you please be a bit more specific? The CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_saga project adds the proprietary files only if you connect your phone and run ./extract-files.sh.

Are you saying:

Don't run extract-files.sh, or

Remove the CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_saga project, which doesn't make sense to me because it includes a lot more than just the proprietary files, or

????
[HTC Desire S] tuttifrutas:
i mean you should run the file extract-files.sh, this will copy the files from your phone to the folder vendor/htc/saga/proprietary, just notice that your phone should have at least one of the latest cm9 nk111 roms.

or you can extract the nk111 cm9 rom to a folder, goto that folder and under sytem/lib, copy the needed .so files to the vendor/htc/saga/proprietary replacing the files on this folder

or you can add repository that is not nexx for example https://github.com/AOKPDS/proprietary_vendor_htc

you can check if the files contain that function by using this command in the folder vendor/htc/saga/proprietary

grep -R msm_device_mute .

My output

~/cm9/vendor/htc/saga/proprietary$ grep -R msm_device_mute
.Binary file ./libaudioalsa.so matches
[Acer Iconia A500] azoller1:
anyone going to switch to the newer acer devices? or the nexus 7? because tegra 3 is out and it seems very good, also might get the nexus although it would be missing external sd slot but that can be fixed if you root it, and the newer acer's seem to get hot but are getting fixed with software updates, what do you guys think? is it worth to upgrade to tegra 3? or wait for tegra 4 in 2013?
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Already bought a 701. Still keeping the 501 though.

The hot processor is due to it being a high performance tablet. There's no way yet around this, but hopefully some newer updates will lower the temp down a little.

It all depends on 2 things.

a. Do you want it?

b. Do you have the cash?

If you answer yes to both, or yes to one, but unsure of the other, then go out and get it.

[Acer Iconia A500] gears177:
How is the 701 i was gonna pick one up but heard the interface was kinda clunky or laggy?
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Well, the interface is ok. ICS. I really didn't get a good chance to play around, as it.... ahem.... bricked. (no comment, but you know me, testing a tweaked kernel. Seems the recovery author screwed the pooch on the recovery. Not only wasn;t tested because he doesn't own a 70x, but was based on the 510 recovery, which the author of course later found it, it bricks the tab when you restore ;) Lesson learned. Well, should get it back hopefully in a week. About time I bricked a tab ;)

I wrote an initial review in my rom thread.

Basically, the only complaint I had, was 2. Hot processor (supposedly an update has either been released, or promised by acer), and the screen sensitivity is in my opinion, not as sensitive as the 50x. Sometimes had to press a little harder. But I think both can be fixed with an update. It's a first release after all.

Overall, a good upgrade I think. But if you can get the 51x at a better price, and can sacrifice the HD display, you might be better off. But that display...... Daaaaaaamnnnnn.

EDIT. On a sidenote, the TF Prime also has Tegra3, and it also runs warmer than normal under load. And they don't have an HD Display. But if you OC the TF Prime, to 1.6 and give it a load, it runs hot. Mine, out of the box, was 1.4. Strange. But it never rebooted after 30-40 min of Shadowgun. But was pretty hot. 90c maybe. I would probably advise 30-40 min of solid HD game playing, then let it cool. It cools down really quick when you let it rest for a couple minutes.

[Acer Iconia A500] Anthony820:
You know, being a techie with means, in a way I am very much tempted by Tegra 3s and all the new hardware, but I stop and ask myself, why? I don't play games on my 500, and I run reflexxx, so it does everything I want it too, and smoothly.

I think for me, personally, it's less of a question of whether I have the money or the desire, and more of do I have an actual need? I mean, Chrome, Perfect Viewer, and Moon+ don't exactly need much horse power. Perhaps if I sat down with a Tegra 3 workhorse I'd think differently, but short of putting on a T3 game and saying "oooh" for five minutes, I can't see any real benefit beyond a slightly better battery life.

[Acer Iconia A500] nalf38:
I bought my a500 last December when Target had them on a fire sale. I'll probably do something similar this coming holiday season. Truth be told, I'm incredibly satisfied with my Iconia, but I'm always interested in the next best thing, and Tegra 3 has the right mix of performance and price for my income.

I won't get a Nexus 7, however. No SDcard, no HDMI, and no USB host are all deal breakers for me. The Iconia has spoiled me in this regard.

I'm thinking about getting myself a Nexus 7 to go alongside my a500. You can never have too much tech.
[Acer Iconia A500] klaus9000:
I have had a a500 since about July 2011. I really like it and with ICS it got even better. I replaced my rooted Nook Color with it but for reading I find the a500 to be too heavy so I picked up a Nexus 7 last week. LOVE it! Super light and great for reading on and I haven't touched my a500 since. I do really like JB and the smoothness of Tegra 3 compared to the a500. I think I will still prefer the 10 in tablet for web browsing but for $199 the N7 just can't be beat. Can't believe I was recommending the Kindle fire to friends just a month ago.
[Acer Iconia A500] sRDennyCrane:
Used a nexus 7 for a few days, passed it along to my parents. No hdmi, no card slot, that's a dealbreaker. I'm waiting to see an A700 in person, but the Nexus 7 will be a tough act to follow. I'm hoping Google will follow up with a Nexus 10 that fills in the gaps of the Nexus 7.

hopped on teh nexus 7, I have been wanting a smaller tablet, plus my step dad now has the a500 which helps while he is waiting for kemo, for some reason it takes like hours just to get into treament
[Acer Iconia A500] terrormattie:
No more tegra for me. Im waiting for an cheapass tab with an high quality screen and a nice resolution cause thats really the only thing I need and in my eyes mather these days. Since all cpus are strong enough for most of the tasks. For example; my Desire Z with an 800 mhz cpu can play all the latest games like gta, maxpayne, dead trigger just fine. It even runs xbmc with navi-x totally smooth. I can even say it handles the most important tasks like browsing and playing video much beter than my dual core crappy tablet, especiely video decoding. And since xda officially gave Nvidia the middlefinger I do the same.

EDIT: The desire even runs dead trigger with tegra 3 graphics tottaly smooth...

Thanks for the heads up!
[Acer Iconia A500] sRDennyCrane:
I was planning on the A700, but with all the talk about the back being so hot, I really needed to have one in my hands first. And, of course, there's no one remotely local who sells them. Lots online, but none at any brick & mortar store.

I picked up a Nexus 7, played with it a few days, but didn't like the lack of a micro-SD slot and hdmi port. So, I gave it to my parents. After a lot of thought, I decided that there's no reason I can't have 2 tablets, so I bought another Nexus 7 and I'm keeping my A500. I carry one or the other or just my smartphone depending on the situation. It's been working out well.

The A700 looks fantastic, and after an overall good experience with my A500, I think it'll sell well. But the Nexus 7 is $200 cheaper, has a Tegra 3 processor, a great screen, is super thin & light, and screams on Jelly Bean.

My suggestion to current Acer tab owners... think about ALL your options.
[Acer Iconia A500] happyjack96:
Definately getting one. It doesnt have an sd card slot but when its rooted u can connect an sd card or a usb stick into a usb otg cable and it would work fine. And i can survive without an hdmi slot.
[Acer Iconia A500] scum1:
I got one from my local Office Depot on Sunday (16g model). So far I am happy with it. If fills my need to read books, play games, Netflix in bed, social media ect. I wish it had a rear facing camera but otherwise I am happy. It is so much lighter than my old A500 and the screen is so much sharper. I just ordered a nice case for it that feature the on/off function when you flip open the cover. Nice feature I was not aware it had.

I have been thinking of upgrading but Im wondering about the Surface and Nexus 10 (assuming it exists). It would be kinda fun to have a hyper-powered tablet like the surface running a version of android.
[Acer Iconia A500] kytprice:
No I thought about a Nexus but lack of storage killed it for me. I have both a A500 and a TF101 plus my wife has a A100 she carries in her purse. That being said I am tablet poor. I just don't care for seven inch tablets myself and until the tegra2 tablets that I own start to seem slow I will just keep what I have. I tried the nexus in the store and for some reason it just didn't really impress me that much although jelly bean was nice. All in all until these start to let me down I am pretty happy with what I have.
[Acer Iconia A500] Neoprimal:
I don't see much of a point in upgrading to Tegra 3 over Tegra 2 atm in terms of replacing the A500 as a 10" device since frankly T3 isn't that hot. I'm definitely interested in getting the Nexus 7 though, just to fill that gap between my phone and my tablet. If I didn't have to re-buy apps, I would also consider the iPad Mini IF that ever really comes out.

Ultimately, taking a 10 inch device out with me isn't as convenient or fun as I thought it would be. I find myself packing it away in it's little bag which sort of defies the point of mobility in terms of throwing my tablet into my pocket and getting out of the house. I also wouldn't pull it out at a restaurant, while grocery shopping or at the park. I've used it to grocery shop a couple times and though generally I don't care what people think about me, I do care what I think about myself and I really felt like a giant douche so I won't be doing that again. About the only place I feel OK using it at all outside of home is in my car or of course while traveling or in a hotel room but I purchased it with so much more in mind.

This is where I think a 7" device will excel for me, hopefully I'll feel ok doing everything with that. I'm also eyeing the Note 2 but only God can tell when that will come to T-Mobile, especially seeing that they just got the Note.

Before I get bashed for not posting in Hasoon2000's All-in-one toolkit thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1493905), I would just like to say that I just joined the forum and wasn't allowed to post in the thread for questions/problems. With that out of the way, I'll start by saying that I have a HTC Amaze 4G (T-Mobile USA) on android version 2.3.4 and software number 1.36.531.6, not rooted and completely stock.

Background info: The reason why I want to root is because for some odd reason my amaze didn't get receive the OTA ics update. I checked for it manually just about everyday and I also did not receive a notification for a new software update. I also contacted customer service and they were no help. I would just like to root my phone and install ICS for now and later in the future install a stable custom rom that has sense 4.0.

Questons:

1. Does the Amaze have to be connected to the PC before the start of the first step(Install HTC Drivers)? If so, what is the screen on the phone supposed to be on(Is the phone supposed to be turned off or on? Is it supposed to be in disc drive mode? bootloader? etc..)?

2. Which recovery should I use after my bootloader is unlocked? and also what is the phone supposed to be on (bootloader, regular screen, other)?

3. How do I install ICS after successfully rooting?

I apologize for the long post and noob questions. I had an iPhone before getting the htc amaze and jailbreaking/unlocking was very easy whereas this seems to be a bit more tricky. If there is a thorough and detailed STEP-BY-STEP tutorial anywhere else, please let me know.

Thank You! :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Flipnfr3ak:
First welcome..I use to be an iPhone user also...before even starting update to ics. It should be available ota. Yes it has to be connected to you pc make sure usb debugging is on. Hasoon has the instructions in his post. But you have to be in bootloader screen. Use 4ext for recovery. Then root....you should be good to go. Make sure you make a nandroid backup
[HTC Amaze 4G] Kashif92k:
Thanks for the quick reply! Every time I manually search for the OTA update, it says "There are no updates available for your phone.", so I unfortunately can't update it OTA. I'm very new to all of this, so I don't know the terminology for a lot of the things on the forum. How do I make sure usb debugging is on and also what is a nandroid backup? Also, am I supposed to be on the bootloader screen the entire time?
[HTC Amaze 4G] badgerdave:
Not sure if this helps...but this is what I did. I originally posted it on T-mo forum. At the very least it will put you in the ballpark...good luck. Just trying to help. These other guys know a lot more than myself. I'm sure the community will get you through it.

"Re: Leaked ICS in the wild!

Okay. Got it. Long story short:

1. Download file onto PC http://www.filefactory.com/f/40bba0821a54f264/

2. Put file on SD card (I recomend different SD card.)

3. After it is on SD card, rename file "PH85IMG" *** No ".zip." ***

4. Power down phone

5. Remove/replace SD card

6. Remove battery

7. Replace battery

8. Power up the phone hold "power button and volume down" at the same time.

9. Hboot will appear...let go of buttons. the phone will then start reading the SD card. "Checking PH85IMG"

10. After that instructions will appear. At the bottom of the info you will see the prompt: "Do you want to start update?" Now Volume up for "Yes."

11. Once you volume up for yes it will begin checking the files. (After some time it updated a few files and the screen went black. I hit the power button and and it started updating all files.

In closing you "WILL" lose all info, contacts, text, email and any other setting on the phone. It will be just like when you pulled it out of the box for the first time."
[HTC Amaze 4G] Crashdamage:
badgerdave made an excellent post and has it right - almost. I just want to clarify a couple of things.

First...he gave a link to the leaked RUU of the ICS OTA update. This file will install as he described WITHOUT requiring root and results in a phone in out-of-the-box condition - no root, with ICS 4.0:3 and Sense 3.6.

Second...the file must be named 'PH85IMG.zip' - WITH the .zip extension. A common mistake is to have file extensions hidden so when the file is renamed it is actually 'PH85IMG.zip.zip' resulting in installation failure.

yes so first before rooting or unlcoking anything download your carriers ruu but it in you sd card and boot to boootloder (vol down + power button) it will install then use hasoon tool kit to unlock boot loader then flash 4ext recovery then root then flash rom
