I never received the ota update last month or so. Not worried about that, as far as quality of the rezound...the phone is great...my concern is the ICS update. If i didnt get the verizon update, will i not get the ICS also? If any body has any answers, please post. Ive searched around and only found that many people have not gotten the ota, but no follow up about ICS. I do know that one is a verizon update and ics will be a google update. ty
Have you tried manually fetching the update? Are you rooted and rommed?

Simple Fix, get a new Sim card (never used) and let the phone auto activate (power up and let phone auto dial to activate on it's own, takes about 30-60 seconds), once activated pull the OTA(make sure the batteery is well charged). It'll download without the replacement hassles or HTC mail-in flash.

My friend got a G2 (Hero) over a year ago and at the time I was not able to root it, so we left it.
Now, I just found out he's still on 1.5! We're looking through the menu's and can't find 'Software update'... so how does he receive the 2.1 update OTA?
Thanks.
What network?
Should have had a push notification that there is an update. Failing that there are threads after threads on here how to upgrade to 2.1.
It's T-Mobile (UK) which is apparently much harder to flash. Not sure I can be bothered with gold cards and such

You won't need to... wierd how you ain't had the update pushed. Do a reset of the phone... I forgot where it is in the 1.5 menu though it will be in settings somewhere! Try.... Privacy.... make sure you backup the data though!
Hmm. You need to use the latest. 1.5 tmobile ruu to update to a particular version of 1.5 before ota will work.

ai,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=798490
I haven't found a straight answer yet, so I am posting here. I am currently stock but I would like to root some time in the near future. I would also like to try the update before rooting. However, I am concerned that if I apply the update that the root method in the development forums may no longer be valid. Is it possible that Verizon could lock down the phone with this OTA update such that I will not be able to root after it is applied?
Thanks,
Josh
The ota is the exact same as what was leak about 2 weeks ago. JCase compared both and made that determination. I believe he also made a root unsigned copy for down load. Most devs have already incorporated this update into their roms. The only thing is the new radio will need flashed. Check out the development section and look for the roms posted by jcase. It is best not to run the ota/leaked on the older radio as they compliment each other. Any other questiins pm.

I thought this update included the new radios?
U would have to flash the entire ruu, and that will give u everything. Most rooted flash the rom through recovery the flash radio through hboot. Jcase has a nice op in the development section.

So if I update my stock phone via the ota update, I can still root afterwards if I decide no problem?
It appears that yes you should be able to root the ota via JCase's root tutorial.

If u decide to flash a custom rom, the update is in most of them, u would just have to flash the radio separate.

Hey Guys,
I rooted my Thunderbolt but I really don't like it anymore. I'm really new to this and just want to go back to the factory settings. I can't get the OTA update doing it manually and its pissing me off.... can anyone help me?

If you're rooted, you could have gotten the OTA update weeks ago. But if you are determined to return to stock for whatever reason, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009423.
A lot of roms already have the OTA's long before they are released, i use those and dont even bother with OTA's anymore. I would really consider staying with root. theres so much more you can do i dont see why anyone wouldnt want it. but if you are determined to then the link mentioned above works fine.
What radio should I flash via hboot on Das BAMF v1.6.3? There are 4 combos to choose from.
Which radio combo is included in the OTA that just went out a few days ago? Is that the one I should choose for Das BAMF v1.6.3?
I was recently using the drippler application and it said that there will be an update soon coming out for the thunderbolt again any word on this.
Only things I've seen are what jcase tweeted about GB OTA testing @ VZW. But I haven't actually looked for anything further detailing.

Real information or stuff i can make up to make you happy for a little bit (also called pulling a verizon)
I for once am waiting patiently for the update. It will get here when it get's here. Right now there are plenty of GB roms out there to try but at this point I am going to stick with rooted stock.
Please accept my up-front apologies for being a n00b to the rooted update world.
My assumption is that if we are running a custom ROM, an OTA update from Verizon will not help us and is not advisable.
In case of a Gingerbread OTA, are people planning on reverting to stock to take advantage of the VZW offering? Or is it only that an official GB gives the developer community better, more current source to build from?
I could be mistaken but I do not think I am. Most OTA updates have already been leaked on XDA(usually devs and other people are good about keeping there eyes open for this stuff). Also I believe that if you are rooted you will nto receive the OTA update and nothing will happen. However if you want to get it then you should unroot. But most likely(if it already hasnt happened) people will put the new OTA update on xda quite fast! Hope this helps

Yeah it gives the devs a more stable base to work from. Also from what I saw if you want to root do NOT take the gingerbread update. It closes all known exploits. And of course if you are already rooted don't take any OTAs just wait for someone to post a rooted version if you want to try it.

Hey guys/and the few gals here,
If im to unlock my bootloader and install the leaked version of GB, when it actually is released will i still get the prompt to update my phone? Also is there a way to lock the bootloader again, would it just be flashing back to an older FW thats out or how would it work?
you will get the update much quicker being unlocked because you can guarantee the instant the OTA drops it will be posted everywhere and peopel will be flashing it.
if you dont unlock, it takes weeks to actually get rolled out to each device.
so if you want the OTA fastest, its better to be unlocked.

Once unlocked, always unlocked.
You may get bugged about the update, but I am betting you won't, (lets just say I researched it), if on the leaked 4.5.91.
I would go with Kenneth Penn's 4.5.91/2.3.4 beta 4.5.
so if i unlock NEVER NEVER do OTA updates just come here for it and it wont ask me to do an OTA update or will i keep getting that annoying pop up like every hr?

Not true! 4.1.57 and 4.1.83 came out a couple of days after the SOAK tests for them ended! Timing was about the same as this one is going. I'm betting on a 2.3.* release by end of next week
Also, I have got all my updates the first day they have been released. Very few people wait long for the update to be available. Some do, but many of these people have errors with their IMEI in the databases preventing updates. Also, many of them are modded and don't realize they have to be stock to get updates/upgrades.

Depends...............in some of the previous releases people have been bugged for the OTA after flashing the service sbf to update.
Oh, and for clarification, 2.3.* will be an upgrade, while 4.1.57 and 4.1.83 were updates.
Now, since this voids the warranty on the phone, if im paying for insurance on the phone through ATT and if i unlock the bootloader will they still take it back if anything happens to it??

im curious on this too. If the rumor is true with the OTA gingerbread unlocking the bootloader..will that be considered warranty void?
So I sent an email to Telus to ask when the update to ICS for the Amaze would be released by Telus. Here is the response I received today:
Hello Mark,
The Android 4.0 was already released last January 2012.
To manually check for software updates on the HTC Amaze 4G, please follow these steps:
1) Go to Home.
2) Go to Menu.
3) Go to Settings.
4) Go to About Phone.
5) Go to software updates.
6) Select check now. Once an update is available, the following message is displayed: A system update is available, would you like to download the following system software.
Follow the instructions on the screen to update.
Can anybody with a stock Telus Amaze confirm this?? I am rooted and running the energy rom so an OTA update will not show up. Should I revert to stock and see if it shows up?? Or can another Telus customer try it and let us know.
Revert to Stock and check.
If it works then let us know and I will work on more progress

Can someone point me to instructions for this. Do I need to relock the bootloader, install stock recovery? What order? I found the stock RUU but it seems to be an exe file and I'm not sure how to do it. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not sure I don't think you could receive OTA's on rooted/custom ROM phones.
I don't know.
I don't get it. If there is a version of the Amaze out there that got the OTA ICS update then why are there no ROMS for this phone? I mean ICS ROMS?

yeah, and if we can get a dump of his phone with ics on it. it will make our lives alot easier since there arent many differences between the telus amaze and the tmobile amaze
Too bad I didn't know this before I switched.
I am with Mobilicity on a custom ROM, but the phone came from a Telus user. I could have updated before but I didn't know it was available.

I'm sure the OTA would be enough to build a custom ROM off of. You wouldn't necessarily need a complete dump of his device.

Flash this ROM then check for software OTA's.
Highly unlikely Telus released ICS two months ago and nobody found it...but I guess you never know.

Well the OTA is downloaded to the device prior to flashing it to the device. I'm not quite sure which directory but I know I've found it before. He would just need to extract the update zip prior to flashing.

Actually you need to ReLock your bootloader and flash a stock non rooted ROM so no chance at all for us..
