quick questions..
1) What is best way to wifi tether without voiding the warranty (S-Off)
2) if I decide to go S-Off route and install ICS Sense roms, is there a way I get traditional rosie (round one, not the rectangular one with more icons). I prefer original HTC rounded style rosie.
1) I don't know, but just for accuracy, this phone doesn't have s-off, just an unlocked bootloader.
2) If you stick with the GB ROMs you will have the Rosie you want, I believe. Here's a shot of my homescreen:
EDIT: Just saw you asked about ICS and original Rosie... I don't know.
Well that was a wasted post! lol. Sorry.
anyone else has some feedback ?

Fera is completely right about not having S-OFF, we only have dev unlock which allows us to change boot, system, and recovery partitions.
There are wifi tethering options that don't require root. Most of which involve paying for wifi hotspot. There are free USB tethering options that do not require root.
If you go up to ICS, there is no current method to use Sense 3.5(the Gingerbread version of Sense). On ICS, you get Sense 3.6 or better which is the 5 column dock all of the current ICS ROMs have.

I concur...as I'd believe many guys would
Yeah but the ICS Rosie is much more functional. It helps keep your desktop clean with its ability to put multiple apps into folders. When I briefly went back to GB to get the OTA radio update, I couldn't believe how much I missed the ICS Rosie.

If you actually have S-Off like I do and your running ICS like I am, then you should just be able to download the Wifi Tether App 3.1-beta 11. With that set up the device profile to Samsung Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE), enable routing fixing, and you should be set, also if you have the S-Off I guess you dont run into the issue of not being able to use the encryption, I'm able to use it no problem. There is no current method to get S-Off as previously stated by others, I have S-Off by pure luck, turned in my RELOCKED Rezound to my Local VZW store and the replacement they gave me had S-Off, stroke of luck!

being a noob.. i made a mistake of equating unlocked boot loader to s-off.
i am actually looking to wifi-tether without unlocking the bootloader. ad-hoc is fine. i know without unlocked bootloader, i get temp root. Is that enough to tether ? also i want to be able to tether without verizon figuring out (i think their official app changes the apn so they will know right away). And of course it will great if I can do it without buying any app..

sorry if you want to steal bandwidth, you have to root. Not sure how long temp root lasts these days.
And temp root is gone with the OTA so if you want the newer radios and the wifi tethering after the OTA you need to perm root.

Hey Guys,
I've had my T-Mobile Amaze 4G for almost a month now and HATE the bloatware on it. I really think it's killing my battery sooner than it should.
I am on WindMobile in Canada and Wind just released their Amaze 4G on Dec. 2nd.
Has anyone taken an image of Wind's stock ROM for the Amaze yet...and made it available for download?
I hear Wind has almost no bloatware and am wanting to use it.
The other Windmobile Amaze ROM's I've found on xda are all pre-release versions, hence I don't want to use them as I want to ensure I get the officially released ROM.
Thanks for all the help.
Cheers
Well, there are numerous solutions to your issue in question. If you flash any of the roms in the development section, most of them wont have any bloatware. If you'd rather stick with stock you can download root explorer (once your phone is rooted of course) and uninstall any offending apps from there. On my current rom i just got nearly two days worth of battery with light use without doing anything special to it =)
my bad x lol...
dude you guys got to search i have a wind rom and a ruu

Is it the pre-released...or released version?
Wind's official release was Dec. 2nd for their Amaze 4G.
Oh...BTW....I did search, and got zilch returned.
"Wind ROM" returned nothing for me.
But then again....my searching skill really suck....

I have a Wind's Amaze, but without unlocked bootloader I've got no idea how to make a ROM backup. htcdev site refuses unlocking my bootloader
As for the bloatware - only Sense-integrated stuff presents.
By the way Sense 3.0 social networking integration looks pretty outdated - neither Google+ nor even Linked In present...

Ya...hopefully they'll unlock it soon.
Do you have the official Wind Amaze?
How is the battery life on that?
My T-Mobile has alot of bloatware that seems to be killing the battery.
From the time I wake up to the time I go to bed...I'm usually left with ~30% battery.
This is 1 reason I want the Wind ROM.

Wow, my original Wind's Amaze haven't survived from 7am to 10pm yet...
I will try to disable most of Sense whistles, but so far I am dead man if there's no charger available.
Can a T-Mobile user flash the wind mobile rom? I am really interested in getting rid of the T-Mobile bloat on the phone. Not interested in giving HTC my serial number though.

Yes...you can flash the Canadian Windmobile ROM, Telus ROM, or any ROM made for the HTC Amaze 4G.
Unfortunately...we have no choice (at present) but to use HTC's method to unlock the bootloader.
We can't flash other ROM's without unlocking the bootloader first (from what I understand reading the posts here on xda).
The Wind ROM adds a Facebook app of some sort and ringtones, the Telus ROM adds Skype and one other app that I can't recall at the moment....
But neither have the amount of bloat that T-Mobile's ROM has.
I thought it could be flashed from the ruu
That's not my understanding...but am not 100% sure what an ruu does exactly or what the requirements are to use an ruu.
From reading xda, you need a custom recovery to install an ruu.
In order to flash a custom recovery...you need unlock the bootloader.
..or am I just confused?
Maybe Xboarder56 can elaborate on this a little??
I second what can we do without the unlocked bootloader?
When we finally get root (through either an unlocked bootloader or S-OFF), what are your specific plans on using it for?
I plan to:
Flash custom recovery
Obtain or create a stock de-odexed ROM (if there's an update and no one has put one out yet).
Remove all the bloat.
Insert my own specific apps and data to it (so I don't have to go around re-installing or updating everything every time I re-flash it)
Implement an OC kernel and find out if 1.5 GHz is the real clock speed of this processor and it was just underclocked, which has been discussed but not proven that I have seen. I know the latest OC kernel is only really getting 1.458 GHz, but I can dream.
Three-Dot Remap!
Get rid of Wi-Fi nag!
Flash ROM!
Utilize root-only apps I have.
Finally be content.
Get bored and flash Viper ROM
Wonder why I didn't use this in the first place
Figure out how to revert the theme back to stock HTC Sense but keep the tweaks.
Live blissfully ever after.
Quickly get bored.
Wonder when Jellybean will come out for our phone, or when an awesome dev will make it.
Wait impatiently.
Watch as Key Lime Pie arrives and we still haven't gotten Jellybean.
Freak out!
Yeah, the first 10 will happen for sure, likely the next 4 will happen after a few weeks, and inevitably, when my flashing addiction gets too great, the next three items will follow. Hopefully we'll have several Jellybean ROM options before Key Lime Pie comes out, though.
Personally, I'll be happy just getting root, either through the bootloader unlock or S-OFF, as long as I can get the ROM customized the way I want it.
I really don't think that's an unreasonable request, Verizon. Let us unlock!

I guess I'm one of the lucky ones that got an unlock code, flashed recover and rooted before everything got locked up. My phone hasn't had any updates pushed to it, my root still works and I'm a happy camper!
Initially the reason I rooted was just to get wireless-tether to work, as I relied on it heavily with my last few phones. I don't know how I managed to get the Inc 4G on an upgrade without loosing my unlimited data plan, as I understand most folks were forced onto a tiered plan due to the phone being released after the grandfather date for the unlimited plans. Stroke of luck #2!
At the moment, root has bought me wireless-tether, allowed me to actually yank some bloat instead of just disabling it and given me more flexibility when playing around with alternate launchers. What I'm really waiting for is the forthcoming ROMs so I can get a de-Sensed OS on this bad boy. I can only imagine how wicked fast it's gonna be without Sense and all the other crap. Plus ICS is damn sexy looking all on its own!

I'll do a full Nandroid backup immediately after #1. Then:
Remove bloat,
install wireless tether
install 3-button remap,
install TiB and backup all installed apps+data.
put all of my custom ringtones into the system area so they stay put
After thoroughly enjoying that for a few days (or minutes), then make a 2nd Nandroid backup and flash the Viper ROM, assuming it's out of Beta test.

I modified the framework-htc-res.apk by removing the 4 pngs mentioned here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30679535&postcount=40
I wasn't entirely sure which version the files were downloadable in that post, so I just modified my own. It was really a joy: Actually being able to get to the files using Root Explorer, pulling them off of the phone to my PC, modifying the framework files, changing the filesystem to R/W, and then putting them back. I had nearly forgotten that simple pleasure.
Not seeing that stupid icon in the notification area has been so uplifting today. I swear I've turned on the display several times today just to not see it there.
The question is now what we going to do with s-off after this epically long stint without root and s-off. It's like the doors of willa wonkas factory being open for the first time, yes.

You can use either Chainfire's SuperSU or ChainsDD's Superuser. Either should work fine. Unless ChainsDD has updated his Elite, the advantage to SuperSU is the checkbox to disable and hide Superuser. I cannot say if that option is a Pro only option because I have the paid versions for both. (note: you can have only one of them installed at a time)
Then again Superuser Elite has OVER 9000!!!

Silly Question....but I've only owned one HTC Device before, the BLUNDERBolt.....
My phone has been rotted (thanks to the instructions on Dev Help), but it's still S-On. I thought unlocking the bootloader would mean S-Off? Am I correct that we don't truly have a rooted device (since we can't make changes to the System partition) until we have S-Off?
Sort of...
Unlocked and root allows us access to custom recoveries and some apps that require root. We can make changes to the system through recovery only. It is the long road to make changes to system. Once we do get S-OFF we will be able to access system through file managers.
It's going to be like the early days of the ReZound all over again. Let's hope we get S-OFF before a lot of custom roms start showing up. Having to fastboot kernels after flashing the roms was a little time consuming and more advanced than what the normal rom flashing community was used to.
why does everybody hate the tunderbolt? it was a great device! and swifty is right. with S-off things will start to take off if we ever get s-off. sure hope somebody finds a way to unleash this beast!!

Ok have been reading for a couple days now and while I know more I am probably more confused than when I started.
Goal: Wifi tethering / 4g hotspot without paying extra
Set up: OTA ICS update. I am still on a grandfathered unlimited plan so the normal hotspot isn't included. With my laptop I use easy tether through USB which works great. But can't be done on an Windows RT setup.
I thought I would just need to root and I could side load a wifi tether app but the new update it is hard to follow what is necessary.
Im confused, is this a question? are you making a work up? Looks like your new to forums i wanna say you posted in the wrong area.
First if you want to root start with the 1 click root. I did it the other day and it works great.
second Santod has a great OTA ICS deoxed and oxed roms here
http://forums.infectedrom.com/forumdisplay.php/79-Thunderbolt-Android-Development
lastly from what i know wifi teathering works on all the roms and doesnt require extra charge....the type of data plan you have is on on you weather unlimited or limited it still works without a charge.

SO Just to be sure. i have a stock thunderbolt never rooted or anything. To be able to use free wifi i can just do the 1 click root. then try and flash the ota ics deoxed?
need help
Ok. I'm a noob with some pretty tiring questions. Basically i have had my bolt since it was released with unlimited. Never really had any problems before but since the ICS update it lags and text message never send/receive attachments like pics. I have never rooted before or done any other customizations to the phone. It is a stock bolt with ICS, never touched. Basically i want to be able to use my wifi hotspot and see if i can get my phone working a little smoother. Question 1. All i need to do root this phone is the Run the correct program but i've seen two different methods to this. ONe is to run the 1 click root listed n the above post. But i see on another thread it says to use the root method availabe at infectedrom. Do they both work? Then after i run the correct root program i should flash a new rom which SanTod has a great one at infectedrom too. My question here is what is the easiest method to flashing a rom? There seems to be several different directions on this too.
The one click method might give you root but you won't be unlocked or s off. The current method for unlocking ICS is long and could be difficult so if you go that route set aside some time and get ready to post questions on the forum so folks can help.

Ok I see what your saying. But if i root can i remove the tetherguard so i can activate my wifi hotspot? Or do i need s-off to do that?
I'm not real sure but you could flash a custom ROM with that already removed once you are unlocked and s off. I'm pretty sure that tether guard is integrated into the framework and requires more than just removing the app.

First off thanks for responding.
2nd, can u point me in the right direction on rooting this device and then applying a new Rom. I see different methods on different forums. I just want to make sure I'm doing the safest and easiest method. Should do the method from infectedrom?

Yea use the infectedrom guide. Some others day to use the wrong image name for some of the files and that will confuse you. Plus there are lots of users that will help you with anything you you are not sure of. Follow the steps in the guide in the exact order they are listed.

Yesterday I updated my Verizon HTC One Max to 4.4.2 via OTA update. Is it possible to root this phone on that firmware? I am asking because I'm reading conflicting information on root only available for 4.3 devices but then I have seen people selling 4.4.2 rooted on eBay. Please someone guide me. Thanks in advance!
Also I am interested in ROOT only. I don't want to flash any custom roms or anything. Thanks.
Did you try towelroot?
Try a program called sunshine. It will get you on the right track. It does cost $25, but it works.
Thats the way I had to go sunshine 25.00 I tried everything else and nothing worked for me but that program for the OTA sense 6
I'm going to be in the same boat tomorrow. Finally putting my rezound to rest and getting a one max and keeping my verizon unlimited. Looking to root, debloat, and wifi tether.
Assuming the phone I'm going to look at will be updated to the latest... if this program works and is easy for $25 bucks... sweet. I have modified mogul, incredible, thunderbolt, and rezound without paying much besides donating or puying a few pro versions of apps. Mainly just rooted and flashed debloated stock roms. Nothing heavy.

Likewise, just bought a VZW OneMax off Swappa and will be here on Thursday. I don't mind supporting developers who create quality apps/ROMS for us. Well worth it!
So...I haven't tried anything yet. Just got the phone and did a factory reset. Its 4.4.2 sense 6.0 3.09.605.2 (verizon obviously)
I'm really just looking for a stock rooted rom, that is debloated, or that I can erase a bunch of dumb apps myself. Then just need to add wifi tether.
I have messed with these things before but the last time was when i got the incredible, tbolt, and rezound on their launch days... so its been awhile. haha
Wondering what type of things I should be gathering for running the sunshine?
Is this what I am to expect???
1. run sunshine
2. install twrp
3. flash this.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2768021
4. Enjoy?? ha

Only 3.5 Hours from first sitting down with the phone, to figure out how to do all that work, and having all of the apps installed and in their place. Now to find a wifi tether app that works (or figure out the "wifi tether" app settings) and not let the OCD get to me of having an extra set of icons on every screen. I've had the same 4x4 home screen layouts for years. Rest easy Rezound.
Thanks for all the help. Appreciate it!!

I didn't try the red "mobile hotspot" app.... and I deleted it thru titanium backup without saving a backup first
I always used "wifi tether for root users" on the rezound and tbolt. I know it was finicky with the order that you checked all of the different settings. Once you figured out the order and things to check, it works flawlessly. I'm not picky though and will use whatever tether app that works...
Must. Use. Slingbox. At. Cabin.

Derp dirty flash that Rom again. That app was wide open for use. You don't need to mess with root hotspot apps.

Does that mean just go back into recovery and reflash the same way?
I assume it will just fill back in the apps i deleted and not mess with any of the rest of the crap I added and setup?
