HTC promised us the ICS update by the end of July. Wrong again. Here we are in August and no ICS update. I think I am like most people and dont really care about the update itself so much as HTC releasing the source code so we can get serious modding done. Personally, I am running CleanROM and it works great. I wouldnt mind having a new CleanROM based on the offical ICS update, though, if it ever comes out.
Either way, I will NEVER buy another Verizon or HTC phone again. This was my first on both of them and it will be my last for sure. Soon as my 2 yr contract is up, I'm ditching Verizon.
Edit: Well, go figure. I post this and then the update comes out the next day. Mod, delete this whole thread at will, it serves no purpose now.
You're surprised?
Because of a mere update? Okay... They never promised July, they said summer which as far as I know it still is.So this is why devs hate when people ask for ETAs.

They didn't promise, they gave a tentative timeline, "subject to change".

Dear Andrew S,
Thank you for contacting HTC regarding the Android 4.0 update. I understand that you are excited to receive the update for your HTC Rezound. I will be happy to share the information I have with you.
The ICS (Android 4.0) update will be released for the Rezound by the end of this month (July) with final pushes in August. Due to localization, testing, and partner approvals, updates do not roll out to all devices at the same time. For devices on a wide variety of carriers and in many countries, rollouts can take up to 45 days from the initial update to reach everyone. It’s almost here, Andrew! We are as excited as you are. I hope you enjoy the rest of your week!
Let me know if I have successfully answered your question, please click here to complete this.

HTC doesn't really control this anyway. They give the updates to Verizon and Verizon pushes them. HTC can only report what VZW is telling them.

HTC has had the update finished for a while now I'm sure. It's all just sitting in Verizon's desk under a stack up of new contract papers and hate mail somewhere.
It's not HTC its Verizon. Verizon has this new thing called the cloud that saves you emails and pic ect....... I know this because I had a htc Inc2 that received a update and it lost emails Facebook ect.....so Verizon offered me the rezound because they had no time line to fix it so thanks to Verizon cloud we don't have ics this is why htc keeps posting it on there web page its available . Htc is not the problem it will always be Verizon

Isn't the point of having a forum like XDA, which has so many talented developers, that you don't have to wait if you don't want to? As about a billion people have posted on all these "waiting for OTA" threads have said, ICS for the Rezound is available RIGHT NOW for anyone that wants it - you don't even have to root - I'm new to the Rezound, but have been rooting phones with the help of XDA for years now - i have CHOSEN to wait for the OTA, knowing that at any time I can flash one of the great ROMS that have been put together with great care and support by some really smart people - it just seems odd that people who are on a forum dedicated to NOT WAITING for manufacturers to get their act together will post repeatedly about how upset they are about having to wait -

Excellent point, will still need them to officially release ICS so in turn they have to release the ICS kernel source code also then the devs can do even more great work.

I'm pleased to see Eris is rooted. however what if in the future, Verizon decided to ship out Eris with Official 2.1 pre-installed, how will we be able to root Eris from there?
I don't see the Eris shipping with 2.1 from what I understand the Erie is being phased out and the 2.1 ota update will probably be after that. this is pure speculation I may add
Sent from my Evil Eris v1.1 using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
Dont worry man. There is no way to know for sure.. But im willing to bet 2.1 for the HTC Eris will be rooted before that would ever be a concern. And if somehow it does happen and no root is found, then everyone with a leak ROM install is back to where they started..
they're discontinuing the Eris so I don't see it coming up.

As far as I know, the eris is selling quite well and Verizon has no need to discontinue it.
@OP: If they release 2.1 on new devices we are in the same boat as all of us with the 2.1 leak... Rest assured that we are still working on getting root for 2.1.

Maybe you would know then.... if say 6 months from now our eris breaks down and we have the insurance, will we be getting a refurbished eris or be offered the next best thing (incredible)....???
Supposedly, the Eris' end of life is in May.
I don't know how they replace phones.. but I would assume a refurb, I HIGHLY doubt the Incredible, with the specs it has? No way. Maybe the moto droid.

I don't think HTC tests. I could be wrong, but that leaves all of the blame of Verizon testing.
I don't think Verizon tests that thoroughly either tbh. They have too many existing phones receiving updates, as well as too many new phones coming out which need to be tested. Verizon is prob too busy testing the Vigor and Nexus Prime to be worried about our "old" Thunderbolt.

HTC surely tests their side of things but presumably hands it off to VZW. Whether VZW modifies the s/w or not, who knows. I would think it's up to VZW to check things like voicemail notifications though and not HTC's responsibility.
Here's a poof poof pass moment slap Verizon hands and just get it from HTC then Verizon can put the bloated ware on their app site for us to download if we want.This craming stuff down our throats is getting old .want voice mail notifications down load it.
Any other gotta have download it.

For those of you still waiting, I just called HTC and was told this exact same thing, word for word. Clearly reading from a script. Too bad. If you "want" to root Globatrons guide and support in his thread is top notch. The decision is yours though, It's your device. HTC told us it was coming soon earlier this year, soon is obviously a relative term.

Even better we have the S-OFF rooted version. The developers have the source code too, what the heck do we need HTC to do this for? They won't be making it any better just to push it out to BB customers. You will get the same thing we already have, try it and then go to the rooted version anyway. So BFD ...

I'm sure they will, they certainly can't release it with the way it is such a battery killer.

Been a frequent visitor to the Verizon page and this is the first time I seen that article. Could be wrong but I have a very good feeling that ICS is coming sooner then many on this forum thinks. I sure hope it does, coming from the Thunderbolt just a few weeks ago I have been holding off Unlocking the Bootloader and rooting this thing. This is the first phone I have bought that I have not rooted and flashed a Rom within just a few hours of buying it. This phone is a beast, love it.

Haha, exactly. Have seen several posts by what I would call fanboys talking about how awesome the ICS leak is and how they can go forever on their batteries, longer than on GB. Everytime I read one of those, I cringe. I think batt life with the display off is better but when display is on, the battery meter is a countdown timer, it flies!!

Yes, the Jan OTA update was 52.5 MB so that is definitely the update they are talking about.

Wait until the OTA is pushed and then someone will post a link to download the ruu tool to update it from a computer.
I'd be ironic if the "update" is that they are dropping the Rezound price to FREE with a new contract. With the way its been going recently, that announcement is probably not far off..

Sadly i agree. They sure want to shrug this device off, not good business practice.
I waited till April 6th and when I did not see any ICS OTA, I flashed Clean Rom ICS and I am happy with it. I don't know what difference the official upgrade will offer but I am not really excited about it anymore given that I am already running ICS with maybe more than what will be in the upgrade. I don't really care about sense 4.0 because I am running the DEV version of clean Rom with Apex launcher, which in my opinion is even better than Nova.
Was this what the page said before or is it like an updated page.

I was wondering the same thing. My other phones(Samsung Droid Charge, Moto RAZR) update just fine over Wi-Fi. The Rezound is my first HTC phone. It always wants to switch to 4G/3G when checking for updates. I assume this means it will not update to ICS over Wi-Fi. I'm not sure why they designed it this way.
My Rezound is currently being used as a Wi-Fi-only device. (i.e. no Verizon service) I do still have my Galaxy Nexus active on my VZW acct. I figured I can just pop the 4G LTE SIM card into the Rezound when they release the ICS. After it updates, I'll just take the SIM card out and put it back into the Galaxy Nexus. I have a SIM card adapter for this. (Rezound uses standard SIM and Galaxy Nexus uses micro-SIM cards)
Since I have both the Galaxy Nexus and Rezound.... I can't honestly say that I prefer ICS over Gingerbread. ICS has some cool features, but that's about it.... most of the stuff that I do on my Galaxy Nexus doesn't involve ICS-only features. Having said that, I wouldn't mind seeing my Rezound updated to ICS, just so both phones can operate in a similar fashion.
ICS Update Delay
Maybe HTC & Verizon had a change of heart (I tried not to choke while thinking that) and the have decided to include Sense 4.0 with the ICS OTA. Of Course I could win the lottery if I actually bought tickets too!
Seeing that there is a boatload of work to install this leak, I decided that its probably time to do homework instead of trying to play with my phone at 2AM.
However, I have noticed a lot of people saying that the release cannot be too far behind since the leak came out.
I'm a bit skeptical on this idea, because didn't a leak come out for the HTC Sensation ages ago? Now, I did not research much, but as far as I know (again, I may be wrong), the Sensation didn't have an official update either.
Its definitely not too far-fetched to think that the update might be delayed even further. HTC did promise that the updates would be early 2012 and as we all know, "early 2012" was a long time ago. Some said the updates would be during MWC, some said otherwise. What do you guys think?
As for development, this is definitely a very good sign as the interest and traffic for the HTC Amaze the past two days were quite phenomenal. The CM9 builds and Evervolv builds never really got anywhere for months. Do you guys think its worth downloading the leak now? Or would waiting be a better option? From what I heard, you have to re-root your device simply downloading the update.

There had been so many issues for me, such as getting S-Off to try and make things easier but there were errors for backing up. Instructions said if I wanted to install with S-On, I'd have to lock and unlock my phone again. How did it work out for you? I haven't even seen screenshots of this update. Is it sense 3.5?

It's sense 3.6 if you were getting the bin/sh issues look in the thread about phone won't turn on that's below this one in general I helped someone fix it

Lol so much for doing my homework, I'll look in the thread. Do you know anything about an error that says "Backup failed" and hitting enter to exit? That's what I got.

I did not run as admin, I have USB Debugging Enabled, it was not plugged in before running in charge only mode.
I tried again before I read your post and it said my device was offline when it worked before. Very odd.
I found out the problem, I now have S-Off, thank you so much
I still don't think they're going to be pushing any official releases anytime soon

The only htc sensation(the original one, not the xl) that doesn't have ics is the sensation 4G (T-mo version)
I honestly wouldn't be too surprised if Tmo is sitting on the update to push sales for the One-S. Not that I am a marketing expert or anything, but so far the release seems very stable and I can't figure out why they are holding off on it
I have a stock Amaze and installed it easily. All I did was rename the file and drop it on the drive.

People have trouble doing this

will any update they do release still install after installing this leak?
I'm unsure but this leak stinks of a disgruntled employee with our phone "righting a wrong" about to occur... I'm suspiciously expecting a "official letdown"

Yes and no is my uneducated opinion. I feel like they're update the firmware yet because the radio seems finicky. With s-off, I think that they'll just be able to update the firmware through hboot, but with s-on I think we'll need to go stock, download the update, then do the reroot process....I could be off, but in the end we'll still be ok for any updates either way.
I think that pushing One S sales definitely sounds likely.
Meanwhile, I just think T-Mobile is bad with updates and this sucks for the development community because it means less resources to help people. There are so many devices out there getting updates anyways. Its not like updating the Amaze is going to hurt their revenue either. Its just frustrating. I definitely advise against waiting for an update from T-Mobile. Definitely update now. There are already great ROMs that were made.
