[HTC Amaze 4G] icyyicee:
Hey all, this is my virgin post, I'm as well a newbie at flashing stuff. The reason for posting this is just to share my experience so hopefully people won't encounter as much trouble as I just did.

First of all, of course you need to download the four required files.

SUPER WIPE - Android_Revolution_HD_Super_Wipe_Amaze_4G

The actual rom - Android_Revolution_HD-Amaze_4G_3.0.1.zip

The firmware - PH85IMG.zip

The radio - Radio_1.14.550L.17DC_30.78.550L.15.zip <------- unlike others, this one u actually need to unzip ^_^

Now that you have the files, let them sit tight on your desktop. You need to S-OFF your device. This basically means you are permitted to flash any rom you want after you are S-OFFed. For this, I think I did some crazy stuff I don't even understand.

I used controlbear's S-OFF method. He (or she) has got a website set up for this. For HTC Amazers, go here: http://unlimited.io/juopunutbear-public-beta-0-1/instructions/htc-amaze/. Depending on your operating system and the version of your Amaze, you need to download the S-OFF tool. Since I am using Windows and was S-OFFing a 2.x Amaze, I had to download the Windows GB version of the tool. (WINDOWS GB MD5 sums are inside the zip file)

Follow controlbear's instructions carefully on his website, I give you two points of advice:

The insulated wire he talks about is basically a bronze/copper wire with plastic/rubber covering it. You need a slightly thicker wire and have the rubber on both ends of the wire removed with a knife or something so the copper inside is showing.

When you are "touching" the GND spot indicated on the diagram, obviously you need to have the back cover of your Amaze removed. So why not remove it first before starting the whole process as when your USB cable is attached to your phone you can't remove the back cover.

Controlbear is so right about something, that is you DO NEED SEVERAL tries before getting the timing right. So don't worry, give it a lot of tries.

Next you need to SuperCID your Amaze. Honestly, I have no idea what this does whatsoever. But luckily the process is simple and straight forward. Just follow instruction: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1612475

Now here comes the flashing!

The rommer of android revolution said you need to flash 4EXT Touch Recovery. I thought every custom recovery would do the job. Anyway, just google 4EXTRecoveryUpdater.apk, or try to find it in google play. It's a lot easier to flash it while you still had the system installed.

Then you need to upgrade the firmware. Which has everything to do with the PH85IMG.zip.

Apparently, this isn't something you can flash through recovery. You need to place this file (in its zipped form) in the root of your SD card, and go to bootloader (the first menu right after you power+vol.down). It's gonna automatically detect it and ask you to update. power up = update, power down = abort. I accidentally clicked power down TWICE...

When you've finished updating your firmware, do a super wipe. This is done by going in to the custom recovery and install "Android_Revolution_HD_Super_Wipe_Amaze_4G.zip" from sd card.

The super wipe process is followed by another install from sd card. This time you install the ROM "Android_Revolution_HD-Amaze_4G_3.0.1.zip".

OK, the rommer did warn us about having to wait a while for the first boot. But I thought I somehow bricked my phone...

No, you do need to be patient about it. Let it load. When your Amaze is up, you need to follow the instruction and flash a radio file. THIS IS DONE ON YOUR COMPUTER. You don't need recovery mode for this one.

Last but not least, I've had some problem with enabling mobile data on my Amaze. Turns out I needed to add a APN for it. Google your carrier's APN setting, NOT ALL OF THEM ARE CORRECT!!!

Good luck flashers! Don't brick it!
