How are we going to get root once ics drops? Since we limited development here, I'm just curious. Who gonna do it? Ill hold off on updating until we do...
Simple. Don't OTA update. Wait till a rooted ICS ROM is released.

when gingerbread came out for the mytouch 4g, we never got root. i would at least like to try out the stock ics before i start flashing other roms (assuming we have any besides cm9).
Let's just hope htc doesn't pull a moto(see dx forums.... ), and Bork our ability to root or reflash anything...
I'm sure some one will come up with a manual root which eventually will lead to a one click.....
Oh Hasooooooon.....

Haha. when someone makes a root that uses ADB, I will try to make a .bat script so you just press one button and it'll do the rest.
When I upgrade to the amaze, and I get the ics update on my amaze and my girls amaze, I probably won't even root it again if ics runs really good and smooth.

root is ALWAYS a must man! if we had better development, i wouldnt mind just staying with gb and flashing whatever, but since we dont, we NEED root for ics when it drops!
Sometimes I wonder about you people, lol.
The only way to have root now (with /system r/w) is to unlock the bootloader, install a custom recovery, and run a VERY simple script to change the su binary, and add the su.apk. This isn't going to change with ICS, it will be JUST as simple as it is now.

Is this just going to be flashable from the stock "unlocked" bootloader? or with the same HTC unlocked bootloader, can we fastboot flash it?
I think flashing from unlocked htc bootloader should't be a problem

im so excited.. im gettin annoyed of the stock rom lol
Stock ROM could be annoying , but xBoarder said he'll start working on AOSP / ICS / MIUI once he get's his phone by the mean time . Sit back relax & once we get recovery there will be 3 ROMS to choose from .
1) BeastROM
2) TO Tweaked | OUT
2#2) TO Tweaked | OUT themed
3) Gingercream
If there's a test IMG of the recovery, lmk, just got my amaze a few hours ago, I'd be happy to test it.

A lot of people have good luck with the AIO method. I personally don't like it though. I prefer the photon-torpedo method. But that's just my preference.
I used AIO One Click Root myself, and it always works, that is true, you cannot go wrong with it as long as you follow the few directions.

Doing a System Motorola Software Update, then Rooting. If you have the device, I personally recommend System Update, Install Proper Drivers To Your PC, and Using the AIO One Click Root Method. It is arguably the easiest.

If you don't have 4G in your area, then you gotta unlock the BL and flash one of Joker's ROM's and Kernel's, makes the phone ridiculously fast. Plus it still serves its main purpose, being a phone. To me, that's full of win. Plus I'm in Diego with no 4G.

This will only be useful to the people who have S-OFF or who have already done the official update right? You'd probably save yourself and others some headache by mentioning that. I'm sure you're gonna put in all the details when it's ready, I'm just saying.

But i just wanted to ask, is there anyway I could install your upcoming rom
without getting the S-OFF? is it a requirement?
i skimmed thru some of the s-off instructions and became speechless
after seeing sticking the wire on the back of the unit.....too much for me i guess lol
i miss the old days when my mytouch 4g was so easy to s-off.

so what you are saying is: either way, I would have to update the ph85img with hboot

would it be impossible to flash a rom from GB to ICS without going thru the hboot process?

yes if you have S OFF, no otherwise
You have to install the new hboot to install the NFC, people were having problems with it failing or something along those lines.

S-off is required because there is a new radio , and s-off is needed for that, don't worry about the wire thing, just be careful and follow the instructions and you should be fine, so far I've seen only one person that has bricked the phone

If no s=off, can they still unlock bootloader with ics ROM? I heard that was causing issues. And people were unable to get s=off since drunkenbear was designed for GB. I could always be wrong

The atrix is projected to get it a month or two before we do, so that's what were waiting for. What we need is for anyone on complete stock to use cheesecake to check the moto servers every couple of days as that is where we normally get leaked updates.

Im not entirely sure. I know that users of MOFs 2.3.5ish rom are unable to hit the server appropriately and that is as close to stock as possible (ie, no custom kernel, no unlock) except for being rooted. Then again, MOF could have made other changes im not aware of that could possible break the ability. I would say, if you are stock and rooted, try it. If that doesnt work, we know you must be completely stock.
