If you are talking about ice cream sandwich its not out yet. There's a leak out but I wouldn't call it an ota until it comes to your phone ota.

Wait til it comes out and people determine if there's newer firmware first. If there is, it'll be the same process of locking, ruuing and unlocking then install the updated version of your current rom once the devs get their hands on it and start rebasing their builds. If the firmware is the same, it'll just be a matter of waiting to the dev of your rom of choice updates to the latest base then you can install their rom...
On a side note, the Razr update was supposed to go out today and so far, no sign of it from what I've seen, I wouldn't hold your breath for ICS on the 6th...

Is it possible to take a OTA update while rooted? I am still on the stock Rom. And if so, will it unroot me?

Wrong!
You can take the update, it will unroot you, AND if the new update includes a new HBOOT it will flash over and give you a security warning and/or S-ON.
your best bet is to wait a few hours and someone will make a rooted version of the new ota... but chances are we will have the ota update weeks before it is ever pushed to any non rooted phones... at the moment .6 is stock.. and all the roms are .9 so all I"m waiting on is a new radio update to hopefully fix this wacky 3g signal I get

What he Said but I Think you have to be Rooted Running stock kernel/Rom for it to even take the OTA

If it detects you are a lower version then the OTA it will still attempt to upgrade.
Ok. From what I understand, the OTA won't automatically install if I am rooted. Which is good. But if I wanted to I could force the OTA to install?
But from what some people in this thread say, it's not worth it, and I could just get a unrooted version of the OTA from here at some point?
Is that all correct?
I am only interested because I heard there was a big OTA coming on the 16th, and I expect that it will fix a bunch of random stuff on the TB. So I'd like to get it.
I'm pretty sure you need to have stock recovery installed to install the OTA. If using CWM it will not install.
Wow this is interesting...i flashed a new radio yesterday is this the new ota update.
jcase said he thinks the leaked ruu is supposed to be the first OTA.
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.

Will do. Thanks for the confirmation, JBO1018 !
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.
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?

Not everybody is from Canada and has Telus.

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..
HI
I have a question regarding ICS update. since I have not rooted phone yet and i am stll using stock firmware(rom). my question is if I update to the official ics release will I be able to root it and install custom roms in the future? I am asking this because I am worried that by updating it might update it self to baseband to newer version that cannot be rooted.
Can you please confirm that its safe for me to update so I will be able to modifiy in the future?(bear in mind i have not moddified anything yet(basedand bootloader rom etc and i will want to do these in near future after i read enough tutorials)
thanks

It's safe to upgrade to ICS 4.0.3, because I have done it when I got my EVO 3D, then unlocked & root successfully! So don't worry, but anyway, 2.3.x is more easy to unlock, root & s-off, because my 4.0.3 phone can't be S-OFF.

safe? yes, but not recommended IF you want to flash custom roms in the future.
Much better to unlock bootloader, root the phone go s-off and flash custom roms. The upgrade will change your HBoot which limits your options.

It's right, my hboot now is 2.05.0000, and i can do nothing with it!!!
how about if your rooted, and want the stock sprint rom. can you accept the download when it is pushed out?

To add to what zcink said, if you have patience, the VM leak custom Roms will all incorporate or realign to the Sprint ota once it's released. The ics we run now through custom Roms is most likely better now than what Sprint will push out and definitely will be better once the customs realign. We just need HTC to release source for better kernels.

JB isn't even in Alpha stages for GSM users.
OP, if you want to upgrade to ICS, use a custom ROM as said before.
Once your HBoot gets upgraded, you'll have a lot of trouble in an attempt to root again.
Plus, custom ROMs are better!
