Q - How to Install ICS on Unlocked HTC Rezound
I was able thanks to the forums here to unlock my Rezound and load CleanROM GBE 1.6 on it.
HTC's support site said it has officially released the ICS for the phone so being that I did this a different way and cant do what they say to do (going to software updates and click Check New) I been looking on the forums for a link on installing ICS on it but am not really finding it and was hoping someone has the link easily accessible or would be able to direct me where to look for it. I did a few searches here and keep getting things not related to the rezound and installing ICS.
Any help as always is greatly appreciated

Hi,
I just bought an HTC Hero off eBay today (still waiting for it) and it comes from T-Mobile but it's unlocked. However, I'm looking at debranding the phone and I want to install the original HTC ROM's instead of T-Mobile's.
I've been reading these forums and there are original HTC ROM's, original HTC but rooted ROM's, custom ROM's and etc... I'm not interested in the custom ones at the moment, I just want to get the original stuff for now, but without the T-Mobile branding. Also, this way, I can always be updated with the latest changes from HTC.
As far as I understand this, I'll have to root it at least once to install a new ROM right? And after that, maybe I should install the generic but rooted HTC ROM so that in the future I have the phone rooted already and everything's easier, correct? Is this the recommend approach or should I install the latest original and untouched HTC ROM?
For now I don't see many benefits from rooting the phone, and I think I just want to make things easier by using the original HTC ROM so that in the future I can use HTC own utilities (RUU I believe) to update the phone. In other others, I'm waiting eagerly for HTC update with Android 2.0 and I just want be able to install it directly from HTC when it comes out. I'll deal with rooting and custom firmwares later if I really see the need.
So, what's the best procedure to install the latest generic HTC ROM?

Can anyone give me some hints?
Hi all,
I see that the "unofficial" official Android 2.1 update for the Sprint Hero was leaked out a few days ago but unfortuantely this does not install on the UK Hero.
Is there anyway to force install this ROM onto the UK Hero? Im a bit of a noob when it comes to flashing Android handsets.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan.
MOD EDIT - Moved to Q&A. Please post all future queries in the Q&A forum.

If I remember correctly, the Sprint Hero is a CDMA-device, so the 2.1 ROM is built for different (albeit very similar indeed) hardware. So it will not work (not properly, if at all) even if you do get it to flash. But rest assured, now that the official Sprint 2.1 ROM is out there, ROM cookers will probably dissect it and make it work for the GSM Hero.
And I believe now that the official GSM Hero 2.1 update isn't far behind anymore, just a matter of Google approving of it (and since HTC gave each localized version of the Hero its own SKU, Google has to approve of them per localization, something HTC has since fixed by using one SKU internationally for the Legend and one internationally for the Desire, but sadly, this is why updates for the Hero roll out so sporadically).
if it were useful, it would have been ported already. it's entirely possible you could force it to install but that could leave you with a non-functioning phone or one that's un-rootable... personally I'm gonna wait for the final release from here, once it's safe and tested. have patience!
i wouldnt even bother using a 2.1 rom untill we have a fully funcional kernel from source.Last night HTC Tweeted that....
HTC said:
Because we know how much you developers love source code...Legend, Incredible, Desire, and Eris(2.1) kernels are online. http://ht.ly/1MODf

So we will mroe than likely have to wait for there release of 2.1 before we can even get a taste of that sought after kernel

Hi,
I have posted under "msirish" in Rezound General section seeking help on various issues to get my phone from stock to up to date. I am running on T-mobile and have the typical ailments no data/sms/ sim error, etc. APN is grayed out and locked down. I am posting to see if I can get more attention and assistance so I can better understand what needs to be done to get up to date. If you can jump on thread and assist it would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Flash the ICS OTA RUU from my thread and then flash one of siul's gsm roms (he has a sense 4 one called maister sense or something like that)
I have been rooting and romming tablets for awhile now, but never have done a phone. I have a friend with a Sprint HTC EVO 3D with the ICS OTA. I have found this tutorial and wondering if this was the best way to root it. If there is a better way can you please direct me. All the specs on the guide is what is on his phone and also s=on. Also, I know roms are subjective so I probably shouldn't ask, but is there any one rom that stands out for being stable. The person I am doing this for does not have any experience and I don't want to be flashing roms for him and there are so many to choose from it is hard to decide what is the best route to go. I know that the one thing he does want to do is use his phone as a mobile wifi spot so any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestiions.

You might find this guide very useful. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889438
As for ROM. Moderator preference forbids us to tell you on which is the best, however I can tell you which ones you could try out. All of them are stable, fast and have lots of enhancement tweaks. You can try meanrom, cool sense, homebrew, and common sense. That's not all the sense ROMs but I figured I would give you somewhere to start. Try them all out and see which one you like best.Cheers

Thanks for the reply. I knew better than to ask about roms because in the tablet forum we are always telling people the same thing about it is to subjective and not a good topic to discuss. I do appreciate the response though since it gives me an idea where to start. I guess I need to ask the person who's phone it is what it is they are looking for, problem with that is I doubt he knows what he wants since he has never run anything but stock os.
Thanks again for the help....

This is the method I used and it worked very well, except I upgraded to 4ext recovery after the root process.... http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-3d-hacks/how-to-root-evo-3d-2-08-651-2-and-later-htc-unlock-method/

That's a very nice suggestion. However the link I provided already has links to unlimited.io's web page not to mention HTC dev unlock. Your not doing yourself any good repeating what I have suggested to other users without fully looking into everything that's on the posts first.
Now my migraine is full blown:crying:

I admit I was a little confused because it seemed I was reading the same thing. I still appreciate the help.
Noticed that my phone did not take the OTA 4.3 update. I got to looking around and read some on converting HTC One to a Google Edition. Can someone help me understand the advantages of a GEdition phone as opposed to the ATT one? Too, is it a good ROM (I assume it will be a stock).
I'm really STUCK because I want to update my HTC One but I want to keep ROOT. I'm using Stock now, but I cannot seem to find a reliable ROM. Help help!
Thanks in advance!!

At first I really didn't like my ATT stock Sense ROM primarlily because of All that ATT crap-ware they had preinstalled.
I actually got Android 4.3 GE RUU for HTC one up and running....and...at first glance...it seemed really clean and nice! Didn't have any ATT stuff which was a big plus.
Hoping for a clean, stable, custom developer esque ROM........But I really am not a big superFan of Google for all my services...
(I use AdblockPlus on my MacbookAir, Windows XP Desktop at home, while checking my Yahoo email from my Mozilla Browser)
As of now, I ended up with Android_Revlotion HD-One_31.6 Stock ROM and have not changed for like almost a week from writing this feed.,
GPE is pure Android. If that's what you like, do it. I did it to one of my One's, and it was boring. I converted the other to the Developer Edition, and now I have Sense without all of the ATT goodness that they put on these phones. I really like it this way. Not hard to do either. You can get the Brightstar edition RUU from HTCDev. Then just make sure you either use BS__US001, or 11111111 as your CID, and relock bootloader. Since you are still on Hboot 1.44, I would certainly go S-Off before you do this, it makes it easier.
guys, so is it possible to transform my ATT HTC ONE to a GPE HTC ONE? Updates by google?

Yes, I did this and used it for about a month but I do like the sense features better.
1. Obtain S-OFF
2. Change CID to GOOGL001
3. Flash the Google Stock RUU which can be found on the XDA forums
4. Receive OTA updates.
If you need instructions to any of the steps above, google it.
