I honestly don't think that the rom itself will do much good. I have been using it, and its hard for me to notice any difference in performance, and aesthetically, its no different. As a matter of fact, the only reason why I went through all of the trouble yesterday to get the system update (not to be confused with the previous update for the personalize app), was because it flashes a new radio, and although speed test yeild me the same average high downlink speeds (usually low 20's), it seems more consistent and stable connection. I havent noticed any new features or capablilities.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
This doesn't flash the new radio this just flashes the rom to fash the new radio you'd have to get the image from the OTA.zip and dd it to the correct partition
[HTC Amaze 4G] cuiltheory:
Double post
[HTC Amaze 4G] ScotterMonkey:
Now I'm confused. Sorry I don't know what "dd" means and I'm not a pro with this stuff so please forgive if my questions seem a bit ignorant.

I'm running s-off, rooted, non-stock recovery (4EXT Recovery Touch v1.0.0.5 RC3), stock ICS.

Tried to install this (the OTA) the "easy" way by just following the phone prompts.

When it got into my recovery, it tried to install but gave me an error saying it could not mount local.

So I used recovery options to track down and manually run the OTA update file.

It seemed to work.

Reboot.

Now phone has no wifi. In settings under wifi it just says "error".

So I posted the above over in general and they recommended I come here and download the zip and install it.

So NOW I want to be sure I install the zip correctly (and that it is all I need).

I've copied it to the memory card and I'm guessing all I need to do next is reboot phone into 4EXT Recovery and use tools there to install the zip?

After that, is there a radio I need to find and "dd"? What is "dd"?
[HTC Amaze 4G] crazysohc:
Well glad you found it.. now just flash this like you flash any other Rom which is wipe and flash away.. if sports wants to, you could ask him kindly if he could make you a flashable zip for the radio..
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
You must be S-Off

Step 1. Download ota.zip from thread in general

Step 2. Extract ota.zip then firmware.zip from inside ota.zip

step 3. you will see a radio.img

You can either use method a or method b

step 4a. boot into fastboot mode

step 5a. plug Amaze in to computer via usb

step 6a. flash the radio.img via

fastboot flash radio radio.img

End method a

4b. boot into recovery

5b. mount /internal_sdcard

6b. adb push radio.img to /internal_sdcard or you could mount usb to computer

7b. adb shell

8b. dd if=/internal_sdcard/radio.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17

End method b

[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Hmm well looks like there's no new raadio ten you could flash the hboot if you want not via method b but via method a by replacing radio with hboot but idk if it would break s-off
[HTC Amaze 4G] cuiltheory:
If sports update doesnt show a radio, then he must have a different one, when I allowed the ota automatically, it changed my baseband number, and not just by the last two digits, the whole thing is different. I suspect its just a patch, but either way, the difference is tangible. Thats why I posted a screen shot of it on the last page, I also posted a screen shot of my first speed test after the update, without having to play with the build.prop, I pulled 21 down, which is decent considering I have a crappy signal out here. Usually, it would take me a few tries to get into the 20's. Upload still sucks, but the radio chip is limited to 5.76 uplink. I have had this update for a few days now, and the only thing that I noticed is the stable connection speeds, even when I only have two signal bars, still solid.

Sports, if you want, I could pull the build.prop or do a whole system dump. I saw that you needed one the other day, but I was still racking mybrain on why I didn't get the system ota to pop up, especially when I did get the personalize update imediately after the phone rebooted after reflashing the ruu. I already explained why the ota didnt pop up, or flash when downloaded from this site. After flashing ota automatically, still s-off, and I flashed eng hboot and 4ext recovery so I could flash su, bb, ect...
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
You could just pull the radio.IMG just revert the coo and I told you for flashing the radio.IMG just switch the paths between if and of
[HTC Amaze 4G] blacksapphire08:
I know I said was done with ICS/JB for good but after a while you start to notice how archaic some features/apps (not compatible) are on GB. Crossed my fingers and gave this one a try.

First impression, signal strength seems to have improved greatly for me which is awesome. Now I just hope that battery life will have improved as well. Obviously i'll have to debloat it a bit and tweak a few things since i'm sure all that T-Mobile bloat wont help battery life. So far so good, thanks sport! :highfive:

[HTC Amaze 4G] KT-82166:
my experience with this update

I have tweaked this rom a little bit and its really fast. I just wish I could get sense 4 like battery until bluetooth/hotspot are fixed.
[HTC Amaze 4G] PeterC18st:
Can someone put a step by step guide to update to this rom. Everything is kind of chaotic with all these files. It would be greatly appreciated.

Thanx everyone for their hard work.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jauhien:
If you have 4EXT recovery then:

1. Put this downloaded from the first post OTA 2.14.531.30 ROM on your any SD

2. wipe | format >> wipe data / factory reset

3. wipe | format >> format system

4. wipe | format >> wipe cash + dalvik

5. install from sdcard >> choose zip from sdcard >> Aforementioned OTA.zip

6. choose reboot now as installing is finished

7. do not touch your Amaze for about 8 minutes....
[HTC Amaze 4G] pdcrzylazy:
Thanks for putting this together for everybody to use. Just to clarify for all us noobs:

Does the method above require S-OFF?

After flashing the new OTA to update the radio, does flashing another ROM like CM10 change the radio?

Thanks again.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
No you don't need s-off to flash the ROM only to flash the radio and hboot
[HTC Amaze 4G] mgp53:
What does flashing a new radio offer?

If I relock bootloader and return to stock, and upgrade via OTA, will it update the radio and hboot?

Thanks to all the folks who help us with our Amaze.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Possible better service. Better battery.
[HTC Amaze 4G] PeterC18st:
I don't know why I was thinking that this was only a 30meg download. I'm such a tool. I did download a 30 meg OTA update file somewhere.

Brother Thank You anyway.

Latest OTA firmware minus hboot, recovery.img, & boot.img!

I took the firmware.zip from the OTA and removed the hboot, recovery.img and boot.img. Should make things a little easier!

Newest radio (1.15...) included!!

Just place this zip in your removable sd-card.

Boot into bootloader then follow the prompts!

[HTC Amaze 4G] masondoctorjt:
The update does change hboot and lock bootloader, but s-off stays so you have to flash unlocked hboot and recovery, then root. So you are saving some work, thanks.

---------- Post added at 06:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:58 AM ----------

The new radio offered me a better 4g signal. I now get a steady 2 bars in my basement, where before it was 0-1 and falling back to 2g sometimes.

Are you s-off? If so, you don't even have to relock the bootloader. And yes upgrading via ota will update the radio and hboot.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rfunderburk39:
When I flash this radio.img by cuiltheory my baseband does not change. I seem to be stuck at 1.14.550L.17DC_30.78.550L.15D

I used fastboot & adb method posted by sportsstar89

Step 1. Download ota.zip from thread in general

Step 2. Extract ota.zip then firmware.zip from inside ota.zip

step 3. you will see a radio.img

You can either use method a or method b

step 4a. boot into fastboot mode

step 5a. plug Amaze in to computer via usb

step 6a. flash the radio.img via

Code:

fastboot flash radio radio.img

End method a

4b. boot into recovery

5b. mount /internal_sdcard

6b. adb push radio.img to /internal_sdcard or you could mount usb to computer

7b. adb shell

8b. dd if=/internal_sdcard/radio.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17

I currently have an unlocked bootloader & s-off

Thanks for any info

I flashed the hboot and it updated to HBOOT 1.93.003. It says Locked and Ruby PVT SHIP S-OFF RL. (Is there anyway to take a screenshot while I am in bootloader?) However when I go to check the baseband it is still the same. I flashed the .nb0 file. Did I need to flash the mdm9k file too? I saw an old thread for another phone indicating this is the lte radio?
[HTC Amaze 4G] jauhien:
What happens if you check thru the About phone >> OTA?
[HTC Amaze 4G] PeterC18st:
That can't be right. The latest hboot is 1.93.2222 and thats from last year.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jauhien:
Anyhow inside this latest T-Mobile OTA - hboot 1.93.0003... just open it and see it for yourself.

adding my radio img to my drop box its 1.5G big if its any use to an dev let me know
[HTC Amaze 4G] rfunderburk39:
1.5gb for a radio seems to be a very large file. Usually the file for our radios I believe to be in the 30 - 40 mb range
[HTC Amaze 4G] crazysohc:
Img files are bigger once it gets zip and compressed it'll go down..

I took out the radio the way I took out the system img that sports used to make this Rom..
[HTC Amaze 4G] pdcrzylazy:
So if you're S-On,

Can you update using the OTA to get the latest radio then use HTC-dev to root the phone and flash a custom ROM?
[HTC Amaze 4G] rfunderburk39:
I agree and understand. Just suggesting that maybe something extra was included, due to the large size. And to save you the upload time and bandwidth.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Did you take the radio out using the partition (stuff after if=) that I specified to flash the radio? Or did you use the partition for the system because the radio definetly should not be that big
[HTC Amaze 4G] crazysohc:
Oppss I think I did it the same path I did for the system img

[HTC Amaze 4G] :

[HTC Amaze 4G] crazysohc:
Actually back when I was a dev for the htc magic (mytouch 3g)

A dev made the radio flashable via hboot, I always wondered how they did that...

But then again deving for the original mytouch was pretty much cake.. except when they took out the 32b board..
[HTC Amaze 4G] rfunderburk39:
I rolled back to a stock Rom.

Relocked the bootloader (but forgot to roll back to s-on)

I finally received the ota via T-Mobile.

It was the 30 mega update and did not include the radio.

So possibly that will explain to the reasons for the 30 mega update vs. 480+ mb full update.

So after dinner I'm going to search out the method to go back to s-on.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jaytee20:
No need to relock if you are soff. I just went back to leaked ruu, the .3, and got it ota. Only 30mb. Had the new Radio. I haven't seen much difference but I typically have good coverage. I suspect the radio can be packaged in a ph85img.zip similar to a hboot?
[HTC Amaze 4G] jauhien:
Did you apply that 30 MB update?

Did you get 1.15 radio?

Are on T-Mobile network?

Forget about 480 MB update.. it never existed.. it was simply compiled with ROM..

I had read that you could not update the radio with the s-off.

In my 30 mega OTA update from tmobile, it left me at 1.14 (something, I can't remember exactly which one, and I'm currently rolling back to a stocked, locked & s-on. To test my theory t-mobile only sends out the full update to folks with s-on. which at this moment is my suspicion.

Ok here was the steps that I took.

1.RELOCK Amaze

2.Downloaded 2.14.531.3from here http://d-h.st/z70

3.Renamed it to PH85IMG.zip

4.Placed it onto my SD-Card

5.Rebooted into bootloader.

6.Let bootloader find the update and let it finish its update.

7.Rebooted phone.

8.Went to Settings>About Phone>Software update and checked for updates.

9.Got a system update for 30 megs and installed the update.

(It rebooted into stock recovery and applied update.)

10.Rebooted again and was notified of another update that was also 30megs.

11.Same thing booted into stock recovery and applied the update.

12. Software number is 2.14.531.30 710RD

13.Baseband version is 1.15.550L.08DC_30.80.550L16D

14.Build number 2.14.531.30 CL449991

15.Wifi calling has no lag as of yet had 2 conversations 1 for 30 minutes the other for 5 minutes. NO LAG!!!!!!!!!

I remained S-OFF during this whole process.

Sport I did this prior to you posting the radio. I will be updating to your ROM in a few minutes and get everything working again. I wanted to make sure I had the Radio and the System updated to make sure I didn't have any Wifi Calling problems. Which I can report as working 100%

Hoping NRG and ARHD get these updates and work their magic.
[HTC Amaze 4G] masondoctorjt:

The firmware package that I edited did nothing to your bootloader. What were you trying to do?

Like I said in my original post, I removed the (locked) bootloader, the (ota kernel) boot.img, and the (locked) recovery.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
no no it's nothing to do with your radio update :) i relocked the bootloader to download the update ota so i had to relock the bootloader and now i cant unlock it i get the following error message :/ i want to flash 4ext and have my nandroid back so i can flash your radio :/ but got a new problem now :S
[HTC Amaze 4G] jordin1128:
When T-Mobile pushed you the ota, in there was the locked bootloader. You need to find your previous version bootloader that you were able to unlock. After, you can install the firmware update as my edited version won't update the unlocked bootloader. If the newest bootloader can be unlocked and if someone post the hboot, I can add the unlocked bootloader to this firmware package
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
i unlocked it while i was on GB ruu :S what to do now? :/

EDIT : i went through the whole htc dev bootloader unlocked thing again and happily unlocked! :D lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] nortnil:
I had to get a new unlock token. From the htcdev site after I went back to stock and did the OTA update. One I got the unlock token I was able to unlock in fastboot, reinstall 4ext, and restore my nandroid. This left me with the updated radio and my Energy ROM the way it was.
