So I got bored of waiting for Wind's OTA ICS update and them telling everyone "you get it when we get it" and i sent a ticket into HTC.. got this as the responce today.
I know how important it is to have the latest software available on your Amaze. I’ll be glad to help you. ICS updates for the Amaze are expected to release between June and July this year. Our goal is to give every customer the best possible experience on every phone. Every HTC phone is a combination of a unique HTC hardware and software experience and a core operating system, and thus, it can take some time for updates to be crafted and made available, as we want to make sure it will run as best as possible when released.
If you have any other questions or concerns, feel free to let me know. Thanks for being an HTC customer and taking the time to contact us.
Let me know if I have successfully answered your question, please click here to complete this.

When you download the OTA, kindly pull the file from /sdcard/download (internal sd) and upload it for us please.
its sense 3.6, HTC wont make it diffrent for another company
As soon as I get it, I'll be making it available.

I'm running it now. It was available at 6am when I awoke, and according to someone on Mobilesyrup, they had it downloading before 5...
---------- Post added at 08:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:00 AM ----------
Looks like it cleaned itself out of /Download/ - so I'm guessing anyone who hasn't done it yet, to get it BEFORE they start installing it. Otherwise it'll be gone.
For some reason when I try to check for updates - it just gets stuck and only shows the message checking.... but nothing happens.
Is this because I am rooted and/or have my bootloader unlocked? Or is it because I have CWM as my recovery?
I really hope someone can provide the OTA files so I can try and update through recovery.
Please someone save the file before updating and share!
looks like its 4.0.3...
anyone care to spew out the build #'s etc and versions of everything else?

You need to relock the bootloader and flash stock recovery before you can proceed.
Coworker re downloaded it from his download link in his task bar that was still there after his update..

is the gibberish after the release part important or just gibberish?

Added to my dropbox, thanks mate.
thanks to violated - we now have the zip file.
sorry - a bunch of noob questions:
Do I still have to go to stock recovery and relock bootloader to use the zip file?
If not - do I just copy the zip file to the sd card and rename it to update.zip and install it from CWM recovery?
A walkthrough would be greatly appreciated! I don't want to brick my phone!
Lastly - if I want to keep all of my apps/settings - should I do a backup and then apply the update - then reload the backup?
Thanks in advance!

If you've already done the Update via your Phone you have this already.
Although I'd encourage you not to update your device until a fully unlocked s-off solution is available.

no point installing this if you already did the 2 OTA updates that were released last week (one system, one software). this is just a complete system/rom/hboot/radio etc package that includes everything that has been released so far.

nothing, so don't use it (ok, well the OTA on the phone includes just the updated stuff, not the whole shabang. this is the whole shabang). this is mainly for devs to use to cook up ROMs. you could use it if your phone would not boot, and you had to reinstall everything. otherwise right now there is no good reason to use this.
Thank you!
For some reason, my 3D wouldn't see the update to 1.12 or 1.13...it came with 1.11.
Man, I wouldn't update if I had S-OFF in an S-ON world... But thats me...
Cool deal...will wait on it
Yeah, I wouldn't update either...
Does anyone have a change log? Curious...
So I just installed this and am getting an OTA. Has there been another OTA, since the original 2? Or, is this missing one of them? Says it's for lockscreen and Watch...
EDIT: I'm dumb...just app updates.

You better take a close look at the zip file.
Within the file is a zip file called firmware.zip.
Within that file updates our recovery and hboot (along with a couple others).
HTC might be trying to take away our root with this. I'm going to wait.
This will update us to 1.90.0008 for our hboot.

In order to install this you would have to re-lock your bootloader, go back to stock (with stock recovery), move this file to /sdcard2/download directory, boot back to hboot and then to recovery. That should work. Then just hope you can root unlock your bootloader again through htcdev so you can get root again.
EDIT: At first glance this will do the following:
Update our hboot, recovery, kernel, mdm9k partition, mdmrcdata partition, pg2fs_spcustom partition, rcdata partition (all from the firmware.zip file), add or change two files to our /system/etc directory, add or change /system/customize/resource directory, add the music2 app and it looks like it changes some 25 drivers (firmware directory).

Guys if you haven't received the update yet please be patient you will receive it.
ICS looks good especially the Home Screen. No wallpaper Scrollable function present but overall it looks good and nothing great about it. Have to wait and see the performance.
The interface is okay nothing much new.
HTC will soon announce the Phones which can be upgraded to Jelly bean 4.1. it seems they wont delay like they did for ICS. I'm sure EVO 3D will be compatible with Jellybean 4.1. :laugh:

It is Elitasat. My Hboot is 1.49.0011. I don't think it has got anything to do with Hboot and if your phone is locked with S-ON surely you will be able to install it. I'm sure you will receive the update if you had purchased it in UAE.
Greetings. NO, there is no download to the OTA ICS update yet.
However, this is a quick thread I'm throwing out there to see if anybody else is currently working on this. Someone, perhaps, with more experience working with OTA updates.
I'm currently downloading the last Stock rooted rom, which should then recieve the OTA notification.
My plan is then to set up a logcat to output to file, have the back cover off, and when I see the download complete, pull battery USB and boot back to recovery, where I should then hopefully be able to pull the new OTA.
While I'm waiting for the download, I'd just like to make sure I'm not wasting my time.
Also, it would be nice to see if anybody else thinks this is a good method, or if I'm a total idiot.
Got about 20 left before I can go, so comments would be greatly appreciated.
Can't you just use a file manager once the download is complete and copy it to your computer? I thought it saves to your "download" folder..don't think you need to do the battery pull and all that
Pretty sure all you need to do is download the update, and before you click on install, just mount your sdcard to your PC and copy the update. It's that easy.

Well, this download for stock is taking forever. Anybody running a stock rom can try this?
once u get it are you going to root/busybox/deodex?
PG86IMG Complete zip?
so hboot, radios, update, etc? or maybe one with removed HBOOT?
If i knew what i was doing i would lol
Works fine. Just plug it into a computer once you're finished downloading, navigate to the download folder, and copy the ota zip to your computer if you want to mess with it. (Or use a file manager on your phone to copy it to a different location)
I will attempt to restore stock rom and download OTA for your use.

From what I've been told and understand, never ever take an update from the carrier. All the good stuff will be extracted and the bad left out with the next update of whatever ROM you are running... usually if not, find another ROM

You will lose root. Never take a firmware update (from what I've read) Only update profile and prl.

Are you able to go s-off? Sounds like you might be since you haven't taken any OTAs of course depending on when your got your phone too. If so then you should do it.
There are ways to upgrade your firmware without taking it via OTAs.
There are several threads in development that address your concerns.

Firmware upgrade a must ?
Hi, I would love to try the MeanBean2.4 ROM, I understand that a firmware upgrade would be a must ? I'm on Viper4G2.0.2 ROM and if I do a firmware update I'm sure my Viper4g rom will not load or run correctly. Is there a way to reverse a firmware update ? Can I do it via my installed TWRP 2.3.3 ? Currently I have S-Off Lazy Panda, Hboot 1.12.111, Radio 1.02.12.0427.
I like the Viper4G ROM, but getting old, has minor issues, got Gogole now working on my Viper rom but can't update via Play Store..no big issues, but I would still like to have the option to go back to this ROM. I did a full backup (Sys,Data,Boot,Recovery,Cache) via TWRP. Would a restore fix any mess created by firmware attempt ? Could I even get to TWRP after firmware update or a botched update ?
Any input would be greatly appreciated
Regards,
Julian

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2045935 choose the first file under Firmware Downloads/rename PJ75IMG / put it on your ext sdcard / boot into bootloader / it should ask you if you want to upgrade / when it's done and you are rebooted delete the file from your sdcard
Going back to old Firmware possible ?
Thank you for that info, I did find one firm just a bit newer PJ75IMG_3.15.651.6-no-boot-recovery.zip and I do know how to install. I do not expect an answer on my question if I can still run Viper4G2.0.2 after this upgrade (will ask Team Venom), however, would you know if I can revert back to the old Firmware ? Via TWRP or other method ? I hear renamig the old PJ75IMG.old that I left on the phone to PJ75IMG.zip and installing it to try to get old firmware is a bad idea and possible brick road ! lol
Thanks again,
Julian

Reverting your firmware will indeed brick you AFAIK and you should be able to run Viper4G with the new firmware when I updated my firmware I was running an ICS rom I didn't notice any problems.
Going for it...
Well I think I'm going to try now, I still hope that by saving my original firmware file on my SD and then run TWRP Restore will get me back...or not ! lol Worse case I'll say goodbye to the Viper Rom... God help me, I love my EVO..ha haa

Your first screenie shows you are still on the older radio. You didn't do the update?
Old Radio
It used to be like this before the update. I used the link you gave me and did the PJ75IMG.zip update.
