Guessing I have to rename it to the usual PH85IMG.zip and place it on my sd card and run it in bootloader correct? Sport Thanks a bunch. Once I install it tomorrow morning I'll report back if wifi calling lag is fixed.
[HTC Amaze 4G] fubag:
no this is a flash-able ROM, use EXT4 recovery

just curious any s on users tried flashing the new radio by Jordin?? can S ON users flash it??
[HTC Amaze 4G] d3vilskid:
I'm not sure as my wife phone is s off but you can try, get the firmware.zip with the radio rename it PH85IMG.zip (I think that's for the amaze) place on root of sdcard and boot into boot loader.

After a couple of days on .16D I see slight improvement in 4g reception. I now receive 4g about 2 miles further out than before while traveling in my area. Faux .29 kernel

I normally score in the 2.2 mb download speed at my home on 4g using speedtest.com app (T-Mobile has admitting using a 10/100 backbone in my area not a fiber optics, so to the tower we have hsdpa but from that point to the node its antique!)

But I've noticed a huge improvement in battery life. From 7 hours of moderate use and a fully spent battery to 8 hours of moderate use and 50% battery at the end of the day.

Also with Quadrant Standard my usual score is on most ROM's falls around 2200-2500, but I'm hitting in the 4000 range!

Screenshot included
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
my speeds are improved aswell ^__^
[HTC Amaze 4G] blacksapphire08:
So far so good for me. Noticed a definitive increase in battery life over previous ICS based ROMs, its now about on par with GB like it should be. I havent noticed any difference in network speeds but they're always pretty quick for me.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Bling_Diggity:
I can confirm this, except for the 2nd 30 meg update listed in list item #10. I did not receive a 2nd 30mb update that req'd rebooting and installing via stock recovery. However, I did receive a small "app personalization" update that installed without reinstalling in about 30 seconds.

Became S-Off immediately prior to starting this update process, can confirm I am still S-Off, though of course no longer bootloader unlocked. About to fix that right now.
[HTC Amaze 4G] kaabob:
Muchos gracias! The original link is dead.

Thank goodness for power options to reboot into bootloader. Pulling the battery every time gets tiresome.

The updated WiFi calling makes it very tempting to go back to stock rom!
[HTC Amaze 4G] BillyD325:
I have read through this thread twice, as well as related threads, and am still not sure I understand how to go about this update. I think the only update I really want is the radio, as my service (calls and "4G") is spotty in my area, both at work and at home. I am S-ON and am running Faux's kernel (0.26) and SpeedROM 8. As I understand it, in order to update the Radio you have to be S-OFF, is that correct? The only other option would be to return my phone to stock, allow the OTA update to occur, and then re-root my phone and flash a new ROM and kernel and restore.

I have also seen conflicting information in other threads on returning my phone to stock, with issues such as the bootloader going to "relocked" instead of "locked". If anyone can shed light on this I would greatly appreciate it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jordin1128:
Sorry...I validated the account so the link is active again.

No you do not need to be S-OFF
[HTC Amaze 4G] mgp53:
It's not that difficult to "go back to stock" and upgrade that way. Took about 2 hours including reinstalling my apps/data via TB. Just plan your steps well...

I have been using the old stock deodoxed release for quite a while, and have seen a significant difference in battery AND signal strength along with the deodoxed ROM sport posted.

Follow the steps posted a few pages back. Don't forget to backup anything you want on your internal SD, as bootloader unlock wipes it. I also backup messages and sync all my accounts prior to making any changes, as well as make a Nandroid.

It is worth the effort, IMO.
[HTC Amaze 4G] BillyD325:
From reading this thread it does seem that the improvements are worth the effort. I was never sure if my poor phone service was due to the phone or T-Mobile, because I switched from AT&T (which provided outstanding service in my area) to T-Mobile when I got this phone. I have wifi access at work, but the network nazis block a lot of sites (especially music streaming sites, which I like to listen to while working) so that isn't an option at work. So I will probably back up everything, relock my bootloader, let T-Mobile update my phone, and then re-root it. I was thinking of trying a JellyBean ROM anyway. Now is as good a time as any!

If someone can point me to a good thread to describe returning my phone to stock that would be appreciated. I have seen several but the most informative one is all about keeping S-Off, which I don't have.

thanks!
[HTC Amaze 4G] PeterC18st:
Just follow my steps. You do not need S-Off for my steps. If you have S-Off and follow my steps you won't lose S-Off.

Enjoy.
[HTC Amaze 4G] kevinrubio1:
love the stock rom ^_^
[HTC Amaze 4G] fubag:
just to clarify is the zip ok to flash S-ON bootlocker unlocked to just get a stock, rooted ROM? or is the build still corrupted on the first post?

double edit, cleaned out my internal sd. must have been some stuff left over from previous roms conflicting w/ it. Probably going to install revolution HD anyway though now that I see it's been updated w/ this.

and wat abt wiping everything except sd card ??
[HTC Amaze 4G] PeterC18st:
The stock ROM is in my guide that you need to flash prior to getting the Ota.
[HTC Amaze 4G] moltenphoenix:

you went into bootloader ?! O.O

[HTC Amaze 4G] BillyD325:
Thank you for your help. I am about to start this process now. Making a Nandroid. Then I'll be upgrading to CM 10.1. Changing radio and going to the latest JB all at once - should be interesting!

Update: Successfully relocked and after much consternation was able to flash the RUU. After I relocked i was stuck in the bootloader/fastboot screen so couldn't copy the ph85img.zip to my sd card. Maybe you should have that step before relocking. Anyway, I used fastboot commands to flash it and finally was able to get into the phone and install the OTA update. Now, it's time to unlock and flash!

[HTC Amaze 4G] PeterC18st:
If you need wifi calling then try ARHD 4.0. It's an optimized Stock ROM which you can apply many tweaks and wifi calling works like a breeze with no lag at all. Been with ARHD 4.0 for the past week with no issues.

Will this work for my telus amaze I am activated through tmobile
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Yeah you need to have super Cid though it doesn't take long.
[HTC Amaze 4G] avenged_sevenfold27:
There's the catch lol I've done so much research on s-off and supercid and I still don't understand how to do it I think I wasted my money on this amaze cuz I was wanting the full expeirience of the full list of Roms
[HTC Amaze 4G] PeterC18st:
You really need to read the amaze bible that sport and others put together. Super cid is dead easy to accomplish and soff is a 2 on difficulty scale of 1 - 5. Read before you blast our device. Here let me help you.

1. Unlock amaze

2. Super CID

3. S-off

4. Win all of internet.

5. Flash dance any ROM you want.
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
I think s off is before that but anyway super Cid is very easy. The result is the ability to flash whatever amaze rom you want.
[HTC Amaze 4G] bhtm:
Don't give up. I am a happy telus user who finally got s-off working. Tip was white dot under two holes needs to be scrapped clean to allow contact for short circuit trick of SD casing.

[HTC Amaze 4G] BillyD325:
I've had my Amaze since it first came out. I finally rooted it for the first time last summer and never went s- off. With 4 ext recovery you can flash any ROM you want as far as I know while s-on. I was on Speed ROM 8 until I went back to stock and locked to get this update the old fashioned way and was very happy with it. After the update I'm rocking CM 10.1 and it's even better. It's like having a brand new phone and I plan to keep it as my daily driver for a long time. You didn't waste your money by any means.
[HTC Amaze 4G] avenged_sevenfold27:
Sorry but I'm not sticking any wires in my phone I got a good deal on the lg optimus g I'll buy that unlocked and activate it on T-Mobile since T-Mobile supports the 1900 MHz and I don't think the optimus g requires s-off and supercid but thanks guys and I read the amaze bible
[HTC Amaze 4G] masondoctorjt:
So, I've been using this rom for a while and it works great, however, I just tried tethering my tablet and I get the upsell message from T-Mobile and apps that need data won't work. So I took the frameworkres.apk from energy rom, and pushed it to system/framework. Now tethering works, but here's my question. Will this have any ill effects since its from a different rom base? Should I go about getting tethering working a different way? I tried every app on the market and none worked. But with the framworkres.apk from energy, the built in mobile hotspot app works.
[HTC Amaze 4G] masondoctorjt:
No thoughts on changing the frameworkres.apk?
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Wifi tether

There's a modification to the APN which bypasses the "Upsell" from tmo to pay for the wifi tethering.

As far as using the framework.res, there no telling what modifications NRG made to it. but as far as the base of the rom they are both the same.

So it shouldn't be a problem.

So if you want to keep the stock rom I would put the framework.res back, and look up dcaklams APN fix.
[HTC Amaze 4G] oryan_dunn:
That doesn't seem to work any longer.
[HTC Amaze 4G] masondoctorjt:
Well smart I did gets tethering working, but I did find some info on decompiling

The frameworkres.apk and changing a few lines to get tethering working. I've had no ill effects, but I would like to use the proper apk for my rom.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
framework res

Can you pm me the specific lines you changed?

Please and thank you!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] masondoctorjt:
I haven't done it yet, all I did was replace the frameworkres.apk with one from energy Rom... but I will see if I can find a link to the thread where someone else explains what lines to edit

updated to v30 OTA while in stock on Asian amaze

A big thanks to PeterC18st!:good:

Followed your steps and was able to get to the update and download it. However, it didnt install and showed a 'variant system version' error.

I was S-Off, on ENG hboot, Supercid. was trying this for a long time, then i realized that the asian amaze would be under a different mid. The search feature showed that the mid for T-Mob amaze was PH8511000, while mine, an asian amaze was PH8510000.

changed the cid to T-MOB010 and mid to PH8511000 using fastboot oem writemid PH8511000

Rebooted, checked, found the update, installed it without any issues, rebooted the fone again and got a prompt saying i was on the latest firmware 2.14.531.30. :good:

Kernel Version 3.0.16

Baseband Version

[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
I'd have to look at it, but there's probably a check in the updater script that may check the cid.

[HTC Amaze 4G] @tlz:
Yes chevycowboyusa.. I was actually on the brink of flashing back the tmob R2 rom and had lost all hopes of update as this nagging Variant system version message was being shown, after following almost all the steps in forum.

I think the update script checks the mid to see if they are from the same provider. I remember reading something like that in some post in the forum. There is no reference to any such check in the PeterC18st method. However, i think thats because he was already using a tmob version of amaze, not the asian one. Either that or my successful update was sheer luck :laugh:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=42167639#post42167639 this post gave me the idea to try this step. :good:

I'm glad I was able to help you a bit. The true props goes to you for not giving up and finding the root of your problem and fixing it. I hope you enjoy your Amaze. Someone should put into the Amaze bible about the MID and how to change it and the corresponding ID's.

[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
Guys instead of requesting that this be uploaded again, may I suggest a smarter alternative. The latest ARHD ROM is based on the latest T-Mobile OTA minus the T-Mobile bloat (it still has all of the HTC bloat).

If you install without any of the tweak options or extra apps, you have the complete stock image, rooted, deodexed and zip aligned, with a very recent version of busybox, a choice of very recent versions of Superuser or SuperSu, plus init'd support built in. Then you can go to the play store and add any T-Mobile app (bloat) you want and push it into /system just like the stock image.

To me this makes a hell of a lot more sense then dredging up a nearly one year old thread and asking the OP (sportsstar89, who is extremely busy with school and multiple development projects) to reupload. IMHO

[HTC Amaze 4G] oryan_dunn:
I would also appreciate the stock deodex uploaded again if possible.

I always love when someone on the internet asks for X, and someone else suggests unrelated Y. ARHD, SuperSense, NRG, etc. all have something I don't want.... a non-stock keyboard. I was hoping to pull the HTC_IME.apk and associated files from this ROM so I could have a stock keyboard. It's always possible to do all this work myself, but to be honest, it'd be quicker if sportstar could just re-upload it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
If it would be easier i could just upload the .apk for you
[HTC Amaze 4G] oryan_dunn:
Thanks. Is the HTC_IME.apk the only thing I'll need? For the default HTC keyboard, I've seen framework ime.jar files and some other lib files (that I believe are related to dictionaries). I'm not at home, I have the list if files I thought I'd need on my home PC.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
I believe ime.jar is related. I

ve never played with htc keyboard files before though so i could not tell you what the apk depends on

It took me all day of trying infinite tricks and methods with various firmware combinations, until I realized that this update will not pop up automatically or take when trying to manually update through stock recovery, with the 2.14.531.3_r2. I finally tried rolling back to 2.14.531.3 ruu, and bingo! Popped up about five minutes after I updated the small personalize app upload. So try rolling back to 2.14.531.3 if your getting status 7. I tried everything possible with the latest leak, so I would be surprised if anyone with 2.14.531.3_r2 actually managed to upload, and I would love to be enlightened by the android buddha that can pull that one off.

This one is working great. Put faux123 29 kernel on it and removed tmous bloat apps and I have a stable phone again.

Love the custom ROMs but there would always be one thing not quite working, usually wifi tethering, or issues with headphone music and incoming phone calls.
