I have a GSM EVO 3d (From Rogers). I am currently on Leedroid 5.3 Rom and Kernel.
I want to update to ICS (Finally...). I am S-off and i have 4ext running.
I have done a nandroid with 4ext and TI backup.
My questions begin here:
What do I need to do because i have Lee's kernel. Will Flashing just the new Firmware be enough, then just wipe dalvik, data and cache, and flash my new ICS ROM.
While im here I might as well ask, since we just got an official update. are a lot of the roms going to get updated and change significantly faster now. or is it still a waiting game for the release of the kernel source?
relock the phone,flash the stock recovery and flash the original ruu. you'll be able to upgrade after that. all the best:good:
Concerning your 2nd question: I think for sense based Roms, business will go on as usual, so we can expect new spin-offs of the popular Roms soon. But with CM9, aosp, et cetera it wont be easier now.
What does aosp mean again?

Android Open Source Project. It refers to the original rom put out by Google before the manufacturers add their skins (like HTC sense).

Huh? why would I want to relock my phone. I just want to flash an aftermarket ROM like cool sense 3.6.
I dont want the official ICS...
Why would you even suggest I relock my phone? even If i did want the regular official ICS (which I dont) I would not need to lock my phone.
To make it absolutely clear I have s-off and full root, and refuse to lose that. so if you dont know what your talking about carry on and dont reply.

I saw that, terrible telling you to update hboot. from the OTA.
Anryls thread firmware is stripped of recovery and hboot. http://d-h.st/9Po Install it, remove sd card, go into recovery, pop in sd.
Then just format all partitions except sd card in 4ext, wipe dalvich, install new ICS Rom.
You'll keep recovery, hboot and s off.
For OC kernels we will need source. :sly:

Thanks will do, but for my own information, curiosity and for future help for others, why do I need to remove my sd and put it back in in recovery?
EDIT: oh and the link you gave is that the same FW I see every ICS rom linking to telling me to flash first? Is there different versions or something? cause everyone has a different link to it.

Newest firmware does not erase data, make a backup in 4ext in case you want to go back to gb.
As for why removing sd.
After flashing firmware, if you cant get into recovery, you hold volume down and hit power, the ICS firmware will try to auto flash again. So by removing sd you can scroll down to recovery in hboot, boot into 4ext, put sd card back, then flash your ICS Rom.
That firmware is based on the latest official ripped version, not leaked or test versions that have been around the last month or so.

Awesome, thanks man. Now when someone asks questions I can give them a proper answer.
I'm in Costa Rica, and I'm using a Rogers GSM Evo 3D unlocked, and currently sing King Cobra ICS Rom, is there a way for me to install the official ICS update from rogers? if yes, could someone please tell me how? I'm really a noob with this.

Rogers hasnt released it yet. Rogers like sprint does modify the roms a little and adds some bloatware. (Not to sprints extent, but they do...)
thanks, any idea if the European version will work on mine?

I dont recommend you just flash the OTA. If you are rooted, you would either end up with a boot loop or lose your root.
If you are rooted, update your FW and flash one of the many ICS roms available in the GSM section.

Ok good, just go through reading on how to flash custom roms, kernels, & AmonRA 3.15.
Once you read up and I mean READ you shouldn't have any issues if you decide to go to custom roms. Should be able to fix anything with the device once you have went through at least 3 custom rom flashes. I suggest one of the ICS roms as your first flash as it's rather straightforward vs rolling back to gingerbread from the RUU.
I thought the phone would say that you're re-locked if you tried to re-lock it. If that's the case, is there a way to revert that back to a "locked" status?

Only way for that to happen is if we get S-off for the device. Sounds like a method is done testing for the Rezound so a matter of them releasing it .
This doesn't return you to the old radios if you updated them, does it?
I have had bluetooth issues since going to the leaked firmware and ICS. Flashed everything multiple times, etc, etc with no improvements.
If there is a way to get back old radios and GB, or if this IS the way, I'll be ecstatic (or ex-static pun). From what I read I thought you couldn't get back to original radios.
Is this the solution to returning to old firmware?
Only way is with s-off and running a gb ruu. Doing those 2 things will give you back the gb radio.
You can run gb Roms until then....requires a sd card patch, check the op of a Rom and it explains it there. Might give a little better performance until s off is released.

Thank you hasoon2000, I'm looking forward to the Telus base. Is there any special steps for deodexing? I know some people ran into issues with that when ICS dropped.
Deodexing Amaze ICS
Deodexing Amaze ICS
baksmali-1.3.3.jar or compile latest from source.
Add com.android.vcard.VCardComposer.jar to /framework (missing dependency)
Check init.rc for BOOTCLASSPATH is probably;
Code:
core.jar:core-junit.jar:bouncycastle.jar:ext.jar:framework.jar:framework2.jar:android.policy.jar:services.jar:apache-xml.jar:HTCDev.jar:HTCExtension.jar:com.htc.framework.jar:filterfw.jar:com.htc.android.bluetooth.jar:wimax.jar:com.orange.authentication.simcard.jar
Use API level 15
dsixda's kitchen will deodex (if baksmali.jar is updated and missing dependency is added to /framework) the files but some will need to be done manually, adding missing paths (usually com.android.vcard.VCardComposer.jar) also read errors and/or check init.rc
There should be no errors other than ims-service.apk, which has one path that can be skipped AFAIK

Yes they can tell. This Rom will be deodexed. Stock is odexed. You might be better off flashing the Videotron RUU. But depending on what you're doing.. if you're going to send the phone in for repairs then they can tell for sure.
Ok thank you I am going to flash the OTA in this case

Flash this like a normal ROM or do I have to go back to relock, flash official update then root again. S-On
Nevermind, flashed in Recovery. I'm back to stock.
is there one from WindMobile?
Which one is technically the latest and probably with the most recent updates? Does anybody know how they are different one from another? Different camera apps? I assume since they are rooted and deodexed I can install any one of them from custom recovery without any problems as long as I'm super cid, is that right?

I'm not sure which one was released last but I do know that the Telus one is unbranded and I haven't had any problems with it at all, it's very stable, I recommend that one. That being said I believe there is something wrong with the one posted now as he requested a fresh nandroid to redo it. I gave him one, just waiting for him to have time to redo it and update the OP. If you're going to use that one then you may want to wait for him to update it.
I think the T-Mobile one has a different camera app I believe but the rest should be the same, afaik. Personally, I use the HD Camera Mod by NODOGT that Dark Nightmare modded for the Amaze and that works great.
As for being able to install any of these, you can. SuperCID is only necessary when you're flashing something to the phone in an "official" way such as through HBOOT or stock recovery. Even without SuperCID you'd be able to flash any of these zips because you flash them "unofficially" aka through custom recovery.
Hi guys, I've tried many ICS roms here but unfortunately everyone has bugs and problems...
Is there a bog standard rooted 3VO EU ICS rom here to download without any modifications? Just a plain rooted OTA ICS rom?
Also where can I download old PG86IMG.ZIP radios for the 3VO, radios from gingerbread days? I've noriced a big drop in signal strength and stability with the new radios floating around since ICS came along...
This section is for development. If you had looked, one of the stickys is
[Tutorial - How to revert back to Original ROM for backup or warranty purposes]
Which shows you how to revert. You can then OTA update. Please post in the relevant section next time.
Thanks for the info but you haven't even tried to answer my question.. I know about HTC standard OTA updating....I don't want an un-rooted OTA update.
I'm asking if there is a Bog standard un-moded rooted EU ICS 3VO rom available to download here in XDA?
I'm surprised if there isn't because that's the standard first thing devs release....
There are tens of different moded ICS roms to try in XDA, everyone with individual mods and many bugs... Im looking for a Bog standard un-moded rooted EU ICS 3VO rom

1. Wrong section.
2. I will try to answer your question anyway
You can root the OTA ICS rom yourself.
1. Install it
2. Unlock bootloader
3. Install custom recovery
4. Install SU 3.x.x via recovery
Voila, you're rooted.
There is a thread with all stock roms. It also has the RUU for ICS.
The problem you're having in signal strenght is not something I can comply, so I cannot agree with that. I have used all (yes...seriously, I've tried them all ) ICS Roms here and no signal strenght issues whatsoever.
The GB radio's... there is a thread also that has all ROM's , Kernels and firmware's listed. It's a sticky, so easy to find.
Not that I don't want to provide any links, it's just that I am really lazy today

Because of leaks, thanks to mdeejay, development was instant so when ruu was released the devs were ahead of the game, and the need for a stock but rooted Rom wasn't really necessary for ics, if you wanted gb its in here somewhere, you could revert to that, then update to ics ota, and then re flash recovery and in root, after unlocking the boot loader

Hey forum,
First off I'd like to say, I have done quite a bit of searching on this and either get caught up in endless pages of crap I don't fully understand or I just can't find the answer. My apologies if this issue is simple and out there.
With that said, I'm definitely a noob at all the rooting and ROMs for phones. I've spent 20 years using cell phones as.. well, phones! Had no idea the world that was waiting for me and the time consuming hours of research and trial and error.
So I got the Amaze and first off, wanted to root it so I used CWM which is currently running. I then get an update notification for ICS but every time I try to install it, I'm stuck at a green X logo.
Is there a way to install ICS with CWM already on my phone or do I need to remove it first? I have searched for both answers which is why I finally set up an account and created this thread.
Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated!

You might have to unroot it and install ICS firmware before upgrading to ICS roms, Im not completely sure, I might have done this the long way after reading into confusion. The shortest way to get ICS on your amaze is using 4ext to flash a rom if CWM does not work.
Well if ur coming from GB, make sure take everything back to stock..unroot.. stock GB and stock recovrry and relock the bootloader

Thank you Hasoon! I actually wish I had seen this post earlier. I got stuck on so many different threads with users having the same exact issues and I finally was able to relock the phone. Not sure what I was doing wrong but it's all good now.
However, after relocking, I went back to stock instead of just doing the the ICS rom. As I'm typing this, my phone is in the process of of installing ICS via the OTA updater. Now I just want to root it again and move on for now. This crap is way too time consuming for me
**Edit - Is it normal for this phone to sit at the HTC Amaze 4g screen during boot for about a minute? I thought this thing booted super fast before I started messing with it

So you must flash to the stock ics rom before you flash into a custom ics rom if coming from GB?

Yes - you can't just flash the rom, as flashing the RUU in the bootloader as hasoon instructed actually repartitions the phone, and writes a bunch of files you can't flash anyways unless you had s-off(like radio, etc).
And for you or the OP, please click the amaze bible in my signature, it covers all of this, it is well organized- I challenege you to find a question that isn't answered in it(hint: if the question has been asked before, and it likely has, it is answered in that bible!)

Original Poster I believe
I am Using HTC EVO 4G LTE in india under reliance india network.
I am using it for almost 2 months without any issues,
Last week i installed the Jelly bean OTA, from them onwards the device keeps on restarting every 5 min.
Its boots perfectly works stably for 5 min and then it re-starts.
I dont know what to do? .. Will downgrading to ICS will fix this problem.?
If so whats the best method to downgrade .. I am noob when it comes to this device. Please guide me.
I checked the forum but its with too many posts and got confused on it.
Honestly the first thing I would retry is a factory reset(if your not already s off) just make sure to backup any data you want saved onto your pc first. Perhaps even a phone call to your carrier as well that way they can document the issue so if you need a replacement later the paper trail will help.

Cant get a replacement as i am in india right now, this is a sprint phone, i programmed it for indian carrier and using it.
I tried the factory reset already but it didnt help at all.
Can you tell me as how to downgrade to ICS 4.0.4 version, that was very stable in my mobile.
Can you guide me to a proper post that will help me do it.?

There is probably ten thousand more people on here that can give you a more qualified answer than what I'm about to but I can tell you right now your gonna have to do the leg work and work your search bars...But I have recently been dealing with downgrading these EvoLTE's lately so I can at least help you narrow it down(a little).
Since you upgraded to JellyBean, I think the most important thing you will need to know is whether it updated you from the 2.13 firmware to the 3.16 firmware and whether your touch panel img was updated or not. If you were updated to 3.16 with the new touch panel, your basically going to have a heck of a hard time trying to downgrade to ICS...You'll have to get s-off and use a linux/ubunta live cd to downgrade it back to 2.13 so that you can then load a ICS rom. (BTW, if your in this boat, good luck because until they come up with a easier way to downgrade(if they ever do) it seems to be no joke, I wouldn't even attempt it, but I'm pretty much a noob to this stuff)
If your still, hopefully, on 2.13 , then all you should have to do is unlock your bootloader, and add the ICS rom to your sd card and flash a TWRP custom recovery then flash/install the rom through the bootloaders recovery(TWRP recovery). I would recommend the MeanRom ICS rom, it's easy to find and a great ICS rom that is basically stock. That or hunt down a stock 4.0.4 rom. Good luck.

Most likely not. When the EVO got the official update to software version 3.16, the firmware that came with that update included an update to the touch panel. If you have the updated touch panel you can only use ROM's that are software version 3.16. Using anything else will render the touch panel inoperable. Your best bet, as stated above, is to get S-off. Once you do this you can install the previous touch panel driver and flash an ICS ROM. You can leave everything else as-is. There is no need to downgrade your firmware.

Thanks for the thoughts. I understand now that i am in the latest firmware now. So whats the best method to get S-OFF. ? ..
Once S-offed how to install the touch drivers and a ICS rom, if you can guide me to a procedure or some installation link it will be very helpful.
You need dirty racoon
