ICS on TELUS,WIND and Mobilicity - HTC Amaze 4G

This is a small guide to help the users of the above carriers or users who dont have a T.Mobile amaze
The below steps has been proven to work without any BRICKS so far..but remember this voids your warranty...please read the entire post then read again before you start and dont be afraid to ask questions..
Things you need
- Shielded Copper wire
- usb cable
- computer
- adb knowledge
please make a backup of your APN list and your SD card contents and ensure your battery has atleast 50% charge
STEP
1: Unlock your bootloader..go to http://htcdev.com/ and unlock your bootloader....Altho this may not be necessary but I've heard that some people are unable to unlock thier bootloader after ICS update. This May not be true but do it to be safe
2: Go to http://unlimited.io/ and donate they deserve it...then S-OFF your device.. This step is a MUST because it allows you to SUPER-CID your device
3: Reboot into FASTBOOT
4: (( HOLD SHIFT AND RIGHT CLICK ON THE FOLDER THAT CONTAINS ADB AND OPEN COMMAND PROMPT HERE ))..enter the following commands using ADB..
(a) fastboot oem writecid 11111111
(b) fastboot reboot-bootloader
(c) fastboot getvar cid [it should confirm your CID is 11111111]
(d) fastboot reboot
5: Download the attached file ((rename it to PH85IMG do not extract it)) put it on the root of your external SD card and reboot into HBOOT mode and flash it.
Your HBOOT should read LOCKED at the top...
6: Reboot normal and rename the PH85IMG to PH85IMGone
7: Download the ICS ROM from the links provided below and rename it PH85IMG

8: Reboot into HBOOT mode and allow it to flash...this may take some time so please do not power off the phone
9: After Installation reboot normal...YOU HAVE ICS...yaaayyy to u
Delete the PH85IMG
THE FOLLOWING STEPS ARE NOT BUT ITS UP TO YOU
10: Rename the PH85IMGone to PH85IMG and boot into HBOOT mode and let it flash then reboot into ICS
11: Delete the PH85IMG and flash a recovery...I reccomend 4EXT..[http://goo.gl/Ta5sT] thanks to MadMaxx82 and glacierguy
12: Reboot into recovery and flash the SUPERUSER.zip found here [http://goo.gl/ialuz] (this may have to be done twice)
13: Install busybox installer found on google playstore[http://goo.gl/4r6iX]
----------YOU NOW HAVE A ROOTED ICS----------

What's the difference between your hboot and the Juopunutbear's hboot? Just wondering because I said yes to install Juopunutbear's hboot during the S-Off process

---

ControlBear cannot obtain root if you use stock Wind firmware with Perm root, you will need to flash custom recovery, wipe ALL (system, data, cache) and flash Android Revolution HD ROM
Once that is done, then boot normally, make sure debugging is enabled then proceed with juopunutbear's controlbear

its not my H-BOOT its ENG-HBOOT

It seems like my phone won't recognize the ph85img.zip file... On the sd card, internal storage... Nothing's happening when I boot into the HBoot... It scans for files but doesn't see anything... Any ideas?

You forgot to relock your bootloader

It was relocked when I did S-Off but nothing was working so I unlocked it to see if it did a difference... Does it have to be relock???

How did you "re-lock" the phone ?
remember the IMG file MUST...MUST be "PH85IMG" and has to be a zip file so DO NOT extract it just rename it

---

I can confirm that on my rooted, S-Off (JuoPunutBear), bootloader unlocked Mobilicity Amaze 4G, when you flash the first ZIP, it quickly goes through and flashes a few items and then reboots.
At that point, the bootloader is relocked.

Yes, if you could attach the ROM file to this thread (or upload to another file share) that would be great. I've tried numerous times throughout the day to download from FileFactory, but all the free slots were full, and now I can't download from the site without upgrading to premium.
Thanks very much for all your work!

Make sure the contacts on the microSD card are clean. I think I had dust or sand on it from another microSD I swapped earlier and the phone didn't recognize the microSD.
Other than that make sure its not named.zip.zip. just one .zip is good.

I'm with Fido and my Amaze is currently S-OFF / ENG HBOOT (locked) / SuperCID / network/SIM unlocked / 4EXT Recovery Touch / Xboarder56's Sense 3.5 ROM / Superuser (Unused) / SuperSU. I downloaded the ROM from the OP but would just like to verify prior to proceeding as I don't currently have a computer due to a house fire.
Flash ICS ROM via HBOOT.
Boot into ICS.
Install a file manager and copy the ENG HBOOT to my card's root for re-flashing.
Flash ENG HBOOT via HBOOT.
Boot into ICS.
Install 4EXT and reflash the 4EXT recovery.
Install SuperSU via recovery.
Boot into ICS.
Install Busybox.
Given the current state of my device, doing the above, I'd end up with it the same as-is now (i.e. 4EXT Recovery Touch, ENG HBOOT, network/SIM unlocked, rooted, S-OFF, SuperCID) except running ICS. Correct? Am I missing anything?

not exactly..but close
I tried to flash the 4ext recovery without super user and busybox and it failed altho I have heard some people who had success but its worth a try..I used a computer
you wont be super cid also u need to flash the modified HBOOT and Super cid again...I will provide links and proper instructions this weekend....
In no way am an expert in android but I understand...so my advise it to ask question and if you're not sure ask again...no one wants to brick their phone
if i have the answer I will provide it...and please to the other people reading if you can answer please do it...If someone is asking a question and you think they are a noob and they should know it...just IGNORE it and don't lash out at them
