So....it's installed on T-Mobile Amaze 4G.

Do the Dev's remove it from their ROM's?
As a Canadian Wind Mobile customer, I found out that Wind (or any Canadian carrier...that I know of) does not install CIQ in their phones....must be a USA carrier thing.
BUT...I purchased my T-Mobile Amaze 4G weeks before they were released in Canada.
So, does anyone know how to identify the CIQ app that is supposedly running on our TMO Amaze phones?
Other than flashing a Wind or Telus ROM, does anyone know how to remove CIQ on stock ROM's?
Thanks guys!!
To find out if career iq is present on your phone, first download the carrier iq detector from the android market. It is made by lookout labs.
If carrier iq is present on your device the app will tell you..
To remove carrier iq, your phone must be rooted. Then follow the steps below
1.)Download super manager from the market
2.) In the setting menu of the app enable root function
Then click on switch system r/w in the options menu. This would enable you to change or modify system files.
3.) Tap the search button within the app and search for "iq"
4.) If u have carrier iq installed you would see it in the search results. It would be a .apk file
5.) To delete just long press the file and click delete.
6.) Restart the phone and you should be carrier iq free
I'm running Amaze Quicksense, and the Carrier IQ detector shows that I do not have it on my device.

You can also run TrevE's logging tester/removal app after rooting and/or flashing a new ROM. The app itself is free on XDA and the pro key is a dollar which allows removal of CIQ. IT'S ONLY FOR HTC Devices (anyone reading this using a Samsung or other non HTC Device please DO NOT USE this as it may cause a soft brick) You can find the removal key in the market.
Definitely NOT being sent from my HTC Amaze4G until Christmas Day.....

Ok...so Lookout is telling me my stock TMO ROM "has" Carrier IQ installed.
Now the tricky part.....:
I have not rooted/unlocked my Amaze since I purchased it.
Problem is...I foolishly installed the Dec. 12th HTC update.
So have I now screwed myself from unlocking my bootloader?
Reason I am asking is because I've read a couple of posts here stating that people have installed the latest HTC OTA and now cannot unlock their bootloaders using the HTCDev site.
Any comments/concerns/corrections?
Thanks again to all!!....this Amaze community if fantastic!!!
followed darrils insrtuctions
deleted the apk
then deleted the other file with a gear by it system something idk why
phone crashed rebooted and seems ok
thanks!

Can someone confirm this?
The OTA update from HTC removed CIQ. Since xboarder's ROMs are based off the latest code from HTC, then they will not have CIQ.

I am quite new on android and I have never rooted.
Now I have decided to root my HTC aria but it is upgraded to 2.2 through OTA.
I have Googled for a while, and it seems that rooting is not possible on aria 2.2 OTA upgrade.
Is it true?
If yes, am I going to master reset (factory data reset) it to root?
Or are there any other ways?
Sent from my HTC Aria A6380 using XDA App
p.s. sorry for poor English I am from HK
Edit: I have already downgraded it to 2.1 Eclair but the version of hboot is still 1.02.
Also, I still can't root it.
That is correct, you can't root your phone if you downloaded the 2.2 update, there is no way to root it as of yet and there is noway to downgrade
So I still can't root after factory reset?

No there is currently no way to root the newer HTC devices that have installed the Froyo update, including now the AT&T Aria. HTC has modified the HBOOT loader code on all of these devices and removed the previous root exploit that was used. At this point in time a new rootable exploit has not been found, so you are out of luck.

AT&T had nothing to do with this. HTC is the one that has changed the HBOOT loader code on all of their devices, not just the AT&T Aria. If you bought an unlocked HTC Aria from Asia and installed the Froyo 2.2 update, you would have the same issue.

Yes indeed. But I don't get it why they are pressed to change the HBOOT like this. Someone will end-up cracking it anyway. But anyway...
Dude, you can still tether w/o paying by creating apn settings for MediaNet.
You can find info about APN settings in the forum or download an app that can backup apn settings (I use HiAPN) and access your phone via computer and open up the XML file. In that file it should have the apn settings of your carrier (password, proxy, etc.) Make a new APN setting with the same values you just read. Please note that MCC is 310 and MNC is 410.
Has anyone figured out how to root the new aria HBOOT ? Or are they still working on it if anyone is working on it.
as far as I know, many people had this mistake and had to wait for developer to solve it one day

This is a common problem with a lot of the HTC devices and is not unique to the Aria upgrade, so once a solution is discovered, hopefully it can be applied to the Aria also.

Security of the platform. If you openly allow people to gain root access to your devices, no one will want to carry your device, nor develop software for it.
Rooting allows
-method to circumvent tethering restrictions
-file browsing the phone which allows easy pirating of software
Me, I want to root for the first reason.
im also facing this issue

Simple answer: Probably not but depends
Longer answer: The main factor I forsee is how to gain root access. Given the locked bootloader on this device, the process has been much more complex. Which version of he bootloader do you have? Does revolutionary work or is the only option HTC's unlock method?
The answer to these two questions will probably determine your fake. Either way, for the most part, having gained root access on the device and still running a stock ROM, will more than likely guarantee there are no tower/carrier issues.
Generally, with most custom ROMs, there should also be no carrier/tower issues but unless the ROM has been tested to work in Japan on those networks, there is no guarantee.
The only big conflict I would imagine would be taking a rooted device into the carrier for service. Probably best at this point to reload stock software and remove root access in order to ensure the device the hardware is using completely stock software and thus eliminate any odd issues from custom "unofficial" software.
As a side note, if you're read this far through my message, if the htc unlock process is the only option, my app, Flash Image GUI, works very well in helping flash kernels due to the HTC unlock limitation of not allowing kernel write access while in standard recovery mode. Have a few guides in the OP to my Flash Image GUI thread.
Hope that helps! Good luck!
I have the 1.5 bootloader and I just read all about the difficulties with it.
Thanks so much for the reply by the way
So your saying to do the HTC dev method to unlock to flash roms and then use your program to flash different kernel's?
I do for now want and kinda need the Japanese rom
So ill keep this rom if I use the HTC way?

Yes he is. You can change the ROM even if you use the HTC unlock method. Some things may not work properly if you flash the ROMs on here because of conflicting files. I learned that when I ported the Japanese Evo 3D ROM to the Sprint version of the 3D. You will have to flash custom ROMs based off the Japanese HTC stock ROM

somebody knows how to root this phone?
Hello,
If there are two updates available, for example the 3d games update and the android 4.0 (ics) update. But it's not possible to install any of them 'cause my phone is rooted. Will the phone show me the latest update (ics) or will it show the old one (3d games). So summarized do I have to install all updates to get to the latest one or can I ignore older ones and directly install the latest one?
And my second question is, is there a way to install an official update while using a rooted phone?
And finaly my last question. How do I unroot my evo 3d if I've used revolutionary tool?

What the smart majority of rooted users do is to wait for the updated files to be stripped by developers, so that your phone will not lose root or have sprint spyware installed. This also allows for the radio to be updated without running an RUU. Usually they have it ready within a few days, so unless you are REALLY impatient, or just don't want your phone rooted, then go ahead and install OTA updates.
The exception is the 1.5 hboot, which I was lucky enough to avoid. I THINK you have to unroot (those tools are located in the development stickies) to update.
Almost everything you need is under the development section. It just takes a little searching.

but u haven't really answered the first question. The problem isn't that i'm not able to update, the problem is that I don't know if there is or if there isn't an update.
btw i'm using a gsm evo 3d not a cdma version
I think you may be confused. You are talking about two different types of updates, app updates and system updates. App updates will always be shown in the market, and the Market should notify you of updates every few days. System (rom) updates are pushed out from your carrier. If you are rooted, you should NEVER take an OTA update. If you are rooted but still on the stock rom, you WILL get notified of the ota updates, just be sure NOT to take it. If you are on a custom rom, you likely wont get notified of the updates.

No i'm not confused. There is an ota update for german gsm evo 3d phones called 3d games. It includes some games, some other tools and also som bugfixes i think. It's not an update of any games in the market it's an ota rom update...
So my question was will it show the latest update or will it show the latest currently NOT INSTALLED update?

Trust me you'll know when there's an update. xda will be thriving and everybody talking about it!
I know, i know...probably sick of these questions by now...
So i typically went the s-off un-official root methods with evo/3vo. Im thinking this time around i want to take a different approach as my needs have changed.
Im much more interested in keeping stock rom/kernel for the time being and being able to use root apps (like tether).
The grey area for me is exactly what does the HTC method of unlock allow me to do? I understand its not S-off.
Is it possible to root my phone and still take OTA's? (via HTC unlock or other methods)
Lastly what is the downside to HTC dev unlock? i understand it marks the phone in some way as unlocked and voids the warranty?
thanks
I know for a fact you could have root and not have to do the HTC unlock.
So what exactly does HTC unlock do then, is there a way to root and still get ota updates?

Unlock allows you to flash custom roms, like the Viper Rom.
Direct form HTC's bootloader unlock FAQ guide
Your device is shipped with Security on (S-ON) to protect your system software configuration (such as the bootloader, radio, boot, recovery, system and others). After you have unlocked the bootloader, however, you will have lifted the restrictions on boot, recovery and system. This means you can customize boot, recovery and system images on your phone as you desire. You can easily see that you have successfully unlocked the bootloader by looking at the top of the screen when entering the bootloader screen. Security is left on to protect things like the radio, and SIM lock.

s-off allows you to flash radio's and kernels. Unlocking only allows you to flash Roms, and other things that don't effect the kernel or radio images.
IE, none of the aosp roms would be able to be flashed without s-off, because they use different kernels than the stock one.
Root works, and I have installed viperRom and it works well with a few mods that the stock rom doesnt have.
oh crap!! I didn't even think about not being able to flash AOSP without S-off. My only intention buying this phone was to be able to run AOSP ASAP.
But wait, are you sure about not flashing kernels? I thought people with the Evo 3d and S-on were able to flash kernels via flash_image GUI?
sent from my Evo LTE, usually.
So i rooted using the script...painless.
Just what i wanted, root but stock everything. Also picked up a app i saw in the apps section called voodoo something or other, that lets u temp unroot for updates/backup root. Sounds cool, hope it works. SU, wireless tether, and titanium all seem to work fine.
Maybe its just me, but i did notice the phone has some stutters now during startup and shortly after...prob just me
