Hi
I have a t-mobile amaze (Energy ICS ROM) with unlocked,rooted, s-off, 4Ext installed
I read the amaze bible, if i want to go back GB, all I need to do is to flash stock t-mobile GB RUU.
My question is can I just download custom GB ROM and directly flash it with 4Ext ?
Thanks

Nope, the radio and hboot will need to be downgraded to correspond or you'll end up with a soft brick/bootloop.

Hey guys I rooted this phone almost a year ago and installed a custom rom. I remember the procedure being very different from other phones I have done and very complicated. At the moment I am still "S-on" and running Android Revolution HD 1.1.0 (android 2.3.4)
My goal is to install the newest version of Android Revolution ( looking for a very stable rom, so I'm open to suggestions)
The thread mentions extra steps if you are coming from a non-ics rom.
Also Im considering the Energy rom. (this one does not specify any extra complicated steps)
In the current state that I'm in should I run the all in one s-off tool? do I even need that for these roms? what recovery should I flash? (Im currently on a CW based recovery)
Thanks in advance for all the help.
you should first flash back to stock.... then update to ICS... after that you should once again unlock your bootloader and flash 4ext recovery this time.. but you id really suggest updating to ICS before trying to flash any ICS roms..., specially since your still "S-ON"

To my understanding, flashing back to stock requires the stock recovery and a stock image.
I found the stock image here http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_Amaze_4G/ROMs#Stock_ROMs
but can somebody help me find a stock recovery?

Relock bootloader. Flash RUU for your carrier in bootloader. There are plenty of threads, and 2 stickies describing this

Which Kernel did you flash??
Your first thing you should do is restore a backup (Which you should always make before doing something dangerous like flashing.... Anything....)
If you don't have a backup, Reflash a rom, Any rom that you know will boot, The most stable closest to stock rom you can. I'm from the CDMA section so I don't know your roms.
If worse comes to worst, Find your correct ruu and flash that, It'll take you to 100% stock, and unroot you, But rooting is easy :silly:

1.53 hboot isnt compatible to all roms (afaik only sense 3/3.6 based roms and the Viper sense 4.1 rom)
U would need to downgrade to 1.49 if u want to flash everything...
Which rom did you flash?

It was yoda kernel if I remember correctly.
You should Definitely grab the stock kernel when in a bad spot, I'd link it, But I don't have a GSM phone, I'm sure you can find it.
Be aware that the newer kernels are just for jelly beans Roms, also are you s-on, if so the kernel is not flashing correctly. I would also suggest updated your recovery to 4ext . If your s-on , 4 ext has smart flash which will flash the kernel correctly

Ok, Now that I'm S-Off, i want a Gingerbread rom. Currently ICS Stock Rooted, with unlocked bootloader.... My question is..... Since i'm S-Off, can i just find a Gingerbread Rom and flash it, or do i need to flash Stock GB Rom first, then Root, then flash Rom??? What would be my steps?

Not sure for 100% if that would perfectly work for the downgrade - but you might want to backup first and then to give it a try:

Have fun!
You don't wanna go back to Unrooted Stock Rom,no?Then all you have to do is,flash ROMs whatever you want to..Does't matter GB or IC.
Iirc to flash ruu you must lock bootloader
why for goodness sake would you want to go back to gb?
Sig:
What do you mean I can't say that??!!.. It's the fkin Internet!
ICS pains?....since you are s-off you can do whatever. Backup, download GB Rom, Speedrom 1.4, Quicksense or Bulletproof 2.5 (if you could find it) or Kumar's simple Roms. Do a complete wipe and then flash through recovery. I recommend 4Ext. Good luck.

If you really want to install stock ICS RUU, you'll have to downgrade your hboot first (only possible after S-OFF). Easier would be to install an ICS custom ROM and kernel without changing the bootloader.
Is there any tutorial for downgrading and s-off procedure?
Please give me a link if u know of any.
Take a look here... Shouldn't have been hard to find with search...
Hey guys,
Im new to HTC One. I have Tmobile version running on stock sense 6. I wanted to install a custom stock rom without the Tmobile Bloatware.
I know how to unlock the bootloader using HTC Dev method and install recovery to root. But i am a bit confused about S-Off. I have read that S-off will not work with Hboot 1.57.0000
So my questions are
1. Do i really have to S-off to install custom roms on HTC?
2. If not can i install ROMs for the int. version on my phone ?
3. Does the CID ver/number have anything to do with unlocking and rooting?
Thanks in advance.

2. If not can i install ROMs for the int. version on my phone ? Yes, just make sure that T-Mobile is supported it will be in the OP.
3. Does the CID ver/number have anything to do with unlocking and rooting? No, flashing firmware and RUU are dependent on CID.
Thanks in advance.

See answers above. Just keep in mind that WiFi calling is not generally supported in the present custom roms. Make a nandroid backup of your system and save to your computer for safe keeping should you need to go back. Stuff happens!!!

Thank you for the reply. I have successfully rooted my stock rom and installed CWM recovery. And i have flashed custom kernel too.
I would now like to flash a 4.4.3 sense custom rom. I have read on some threads that the kernel wont be flashed on S-on devices. So do i have to flash a custom rom always after flashing a custom rom?
And one more thing. I currently have CWM touch recovery. I have seen lot of roms require TWRP. So my question is does the recovery image depend on the HTC variant? I have a Tmobile M7UL

It all depends on the custom rom but most have options to keep the stock kernel or chose a custom kernel in Aroma. It should explain in the OP what they are providing. As far as TWRP vs CWM, the developer will test his rom on the one that works best for him so he/she will recommend the custom recovery that doesn't cause him issues. Yes, there are specific custom recoveries for the different variants because the partition tables are different.
