I am currently running Cleanrom GBE 1.7.5, and I want to install an ICS rom; any suggestions on that front would be appreciated.
A larger problem is that I honestly have no idea how to go about installing a new rom. I installed Cleanrom back in late March, and didn't really give it another thought. Thanks to the excellent primer post, I know my terminology, but I don't know which terms apply to my phone.
For example, S-OFF/S-ON. I don't know which state my device is in nor how to check.
I know I never poked any paperclips in the back, but I did have to register on some HTC website to get a specific key for my device (and subsequently lost the text file)
Basically, could someone
1. Suggest a good ROM
2. Give me a summary of how to proceed with installing it.
Thanks!

I should mention that I don't really care whether the ROM has Sense or not.

Before somebody claims you need S-Off, you don't.
I tried the S-Off procedure on one of my Rezounds & could never get it to work, but if you flash a ROM & then flash the boot image right after the ROM you can do whatever you want.

Alright, so what's a good 4.0 rom, preferably stable enough to use on a daily basis? Is there such a thing?
Sent from my HTC Rezound using xda premium
Looking at the Business Sense ROM, it has different procedures depending on the firmware you are running. Which firmware is it referring to, and how would I check it?
Sent from my HTC Rezound using xda premium
Newts RC3 one XXX is completely stable.
The only thing keeping me from running it as my daily driver is the HDMI out feature doesn't work & I use that all the time.

Just an FYI, NilsP's business sense rom is still using Sense 3.6. That being said, it is very solid, and has been my daily driver for months. It is excellent.

Ok so I've had my HTC Amaze 4G for quite sometime. I'm new to the smart phone era. I've had a smart phone since April of 2011. The amaze makes my 3rd phone. I recently discovered rooting and have become very interested in doing this. I've read some how to's and what not. I'm wondering though if anyone has any suggestions as to which to Rom would best suit this device in a rooted state. Im no tech wizard. I'm a quick learner though and follow instructions well, so I Definately would appreciate the help. Please, and thank you.

Use nrgz rom. Best of the best thats available for us

via xda premium
there isn't any one "best" rom out there, it all depends on your taste man, do you want sense or not? if so which version? are you a benchmark freak? do you want Ice cream sandwich or Gingerbread?
honestly the first thing I do when i root my phone is get setCPU on there, although I've been using system tuner to great effect.
I'd use faux kernel as well, better battery life and overclockable if ya need the extra horsepower, but I noticed it breaks a few things like wifi tethering for me on a few roms (it seems to be only ones built around a non T-mobile base)?
after that its up to you, good luck!
Lol but seriously... Energy ROM is the best
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using Tapatalk 2 Beta-5
I too use NRGZ Energy ROM. Everytime I flash a different ROM I always tend to revert back to Energy.
If the Sense 3.6 ICS ROM by Adjust was fully working i'd rock that. I tested it and that ROM flys! Too bad tho with all the drama that seems to revolve around him.
Ok ok. I've been hearing that the big issue with rooting the amaze is the s-off situation. I read a thread where someone mentioned successfully achieving this feat on an amaze with running an unlocked bootloader. As mentioned before...I'm super new to these terms and this process, so I've been having difficulty locating these instructions. I've been told to have someone do it for me, but I really want to learn these rooting skills for myself. I live that you guys have come up with ways to make our phones just that...OUR phones. Sorry for the noob questions...but I truly appreciate all of your help.
Read the Stickies on how to root. It's actually really easy to root this phone.
1. Unlock your bootloader.
2. Flash a recovery
3. Flash superuser for rooted stock or flash a custom Rom.
Of course there are preliminaries that must be done first. Like having ADB and the HTC USB Drivers.

s-off allows the user to flash a different boot.img (custom kernel) as well as different carriers' RUUs, you can still flash a boot.img without s-off but you'd need to use a program like the Easy Kernel Flasher. Regular ROM flashing isn't affected by s-off other than that
and am I the only one who doesn't like NRGZs Rom? I flip between One Good ROM and Stock

It will pretty much do everything for u except flash a custom rom which u do through recovery. And i believe he had to remove all the recoverys so i recommend using this one http://androtransfer.com/xboarder56/HTC Amaze 4g/Recoverys/5.8.0.9/ph85img.zip after u unlock your bootloader, place that file on your external sd card. Turn off your phone, turn it back on holding down the volume down button to boot into bootloader. It will then ask if u want to install update, select yes. U will now have a custom recovery.

I was like you over a month ago. I've came from a heavily custom original Droid, to a Droid X2 to now the Rezound. The HTC method is really different, my recommendation would be to flash TwiZted SenZes. wildtang gives full instructions on what to do and they're very clear. Also his official website AndroidPassions.com features a "The Box" where you can chat live with developers and he'll help you most of the time if he's in. Please note that if you flash the new firmware to run ICS ROMs, you can't revert back to using Gingerbread ROM from what I hear. But ICS Roms are highly stable now since the last leak we had of an official Rezound leak. If you have any questions please ask...

Wrong section, should only be posting threads here if you are a dev.
The current ICS leaks are nice, really can't recommend them until HTC fixes the kernel issues though. Of course everyone results vary.
I wouldn't flash the leaked ICS RUU either, there are work arounds for the most popular ROMs now.
Check out the list of ROMs at the top of this forum for ideas and post any questions in the Q&A section or the ROM thread if it's specific to that ROM.

I will try to save you some headaches. Make sure you use amon ra recovery. Do not use clockworkmod as many people have issues and if you let the battery die while cwm is installed you will have to find a new way to charge that battery or buy a new one. I have been a big fan of Scott's clean roms. It is mostly stock sense just cleaned up and smooth. Some of the others are a bit more themed to that developers liking. Scott has good instructions on his website. And make sure you read then reread the original post so you understand what to do, what works, and what may not work. Scotts clean Rom 4.3 is a great place to start and included is the patch for the old firmware. Then flash some of the others to see what you prefer. I am currently running BAMF sense 4.0 and it runs great but there are still some bugs to be worked out. You will pick it up quick as long as you read instructions first. Like someone else said ask if you have problems but just in the right forum. Happy flashing!

No problem, just giving you a heads up.
LOL i came from a rooted dx too, i used the cm7 release. I have a really useful tool to unlock your rezound, from there i would recommend a rom like cleanrom. It is really fast and stable. Enjoy!
Team Win Recovery is the recovery system that is being used. Does this mean I can go ahead and flash any rom?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA
So I looked into team win recovery and I'm sure it might work but have not heard anyone using it for the rezound. I suggest using amon ra ver 3.15. It can be found in the development section. Make a backup then flash away.

I love having the number in the battery icon. I saves me real estate on my screen by not having to install a 3rd party widget to tell me whats left. Anyway, look through the themes and app section but this may be the only person working on what your looking for. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1551602 at the bottom of the OP you will see "To go back to the stock look for CleanROM 4.3. Flash this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12286815/Cle...Flyhalf205.zip ". Not sure if it has the number in the icon. This is not my work all credit to flyhalf205 and who_mike_d so hit up some of their threads and give some thanks. This is only for CleanRom 4.3. If your on a different version you can find some older post if you look around.
CleanROM 4.3 has been rock solid for me, no issues at all. I didn't like the battery either so I flashed it with a battery mod found here:

Delete the PH98IMG.zip from your SD card. That will get you back to recovery. Or you can send the adb command when you are connected to your computer
Code:
adb reboot recovery
That worked!! Thank you.

I recently purchased and immediately rooted my new HTC Rezound. With much issue, I finally achieved what I wanted, CM9. Sadly though, I cannot seem to get the radio to work in any form. It seems I need to update my radio from everything I have searched, and I know how to do that, but I have no idea what radio I need to download, nor where to find it. For temp reasons, I am running a rooted, desensed ICS
So my question for you is, where do I get the new radio from? Do I have to download a stock Rom again, relock and force an OTA update?
Phone info
HTC Rezound
Android Version: 4.0.3
Kernal Version: 3.013-gaf15497-dirty
Phone build date: 1/28/12
H-boot 2.11
cm9 isn't even stable yet alone has working ril. I'd switch to another rom before you smash into dead end real fast
Well, that would explain it... I just went back through and read the full post again and I somehow missed the fact that it says
Does not work: Phone, Data... yeah.. Im a moron.
Soooo..... Any tips on good fast simple ROMs since the one I wanted is currently DOA

Title pretty much says it but just wondering if anyone has not been able to run custom kernels. It started with my attempt with Komodo etc., but I always get some form of screen flashes or massive FCs. Im am rooted with original 1.12 hboot. I have been able to successully load and run ROMs from Viper to AOKP, even CM10.1 but never able to run a custom kernel. I have wiped clean, reset and still no go. I am using the 2.2.1 TWRP so wondering if the newest TWRP would fix that ability? I know some of the EVO LTEs just wont run with a custom kernel but figured I would try.
Thanks in advance for any input.

Are you S-Off or S-On. I would flash the latest recovery just to be safe.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I've had the same issue with Komodo. I'm S-OFF 1.19. I tried on the latest twrp, 2.3.3, and even on a tip re-flashed 2.3.1
I was able to boot after flashing with 2.3.1, sometimes...but it really wasn't stable enough to even try to use. Constant reboots, FC's, bootloops, etc
The device I'm having this issue on is an insurance replacement from asurion, the 4th one to be exact. i never had this issue on any of the previous devices...my first was new via preorder, that was stolen, and the first 2 refurbs were returned due to other hardware defects, although at least they could run a custom f***ing kernel.
as far as I've been able to tell nobody has found the issue that makes some devices not take to a custom kernel.

Thanks for the replies. I am S-OFF, current baseband etc. I haven't tried the voltage mod, but will look into that and come back for questions if necessary. If you have any tips on the voltage mods etc, feel free to pass them on. I have tried to use Goo Manager to download the newest TWRP but kept getting errors but haven't tried today. Will try to get the most recent on and look at voltage mods. Its not a huge deal, I get great battery life and its fast enough but I wanted to at least see if there was something specific that I have been missing to run the kernels. Thanks for all the replies!
The Komodo kernel worked only after updating TWRP to newest and I also had to use the voltage mod as neither would load without it. Great advice and for first time I am running custom kernel on top of PACMAN ROM. I tried capped at 1.7 then 2.1 both work but the 2.1 started to indicate some weird results within minutes of loading. I backed down to 1.9/384 and looks to be the sweet spot. Thanks again!

Are you on the newest update? Are you unlocked? The best way is to either flash a custom ROM and kernel or just flash a custom kernel on your stock ROM.

Check your software version, if you have 3.06.605.4 you will need to head over to Rumrunner.us and follow their procedures and it will fully unlock/s-off your device for you and you will be able to flash w/e you want.

Long time viper user here. I suggest doing viper as it is close to stock but has the tons of tweaks you would want to make it how you want. I am currently running the blackout GPE ROM to see if I like it, but always will have a nand of Viper as it runs best on this phone.
