Flashing ICS Leak? - HTC Amaze 4G

I'm interested in installing the Speed Rom 7.5 ICS Project Butter Jellybean Fusion by EclipzeRemix but he stated that if people are on gingerbread, then they must get the latest ICS Firmware by Flashing ICS Leak. I believe that I'm on gingerbread, as my Android version is 2.3.4 currently on Bulletless V2.5 rom. I really want to put EclipzeRemix's rom in my phone, but I don't know where to go for that step. Can someone please assist me with some guidance?

against my better judgement I'm going to try to help you clear this up! You don't flash the leak over Gingerbread if you don't have s off. Now, if you want to have ICS on your phone you have to either except the ota update if your carrier has allowed it yet, or you will need to obtain s off in order to be able to flash any custom ICS ROM. Better yet do a little searching, help yourself instead of just asking everybody here how to do something that you could easily learn yourself , and go look at the amaze 4 G Bible.
Take offense if you will, but this statement is not supposed to be offensive so take it as it is brother.
People here really have to start trying to learn for themselves because this is just getting way out of control and our moderator is hardly ever around these days. p e a r t f a n please do not take offense!

Since when? I'm always read that you cannot flash ruu ics over gb without being soff..so when did that change?
Don't take offense I'm just asking
Or is it the leak ICS that you can flash without having s off?

You can always upgrade whether s-on or s-off, but only upgrade as in hboot, etc version is newer in the ruu you're using, it's downgrading you have to be s-off for.

ICS leak question

I'm tired of waiting for the ICS ota, can anyone tell me any reason why I shouldn't run the ICS leak and just wait forever for the official build to release?

You shouldn't really wait at all. There's no real downside to flashing the 3.14 leak. Even if VZW releases one with security patches later on, one of our devs will just break it and we'll see it as an updated ROM that we can flash.
Sounds good enough for me. Thanks, I'll probably do it tonight after work! Which Rom/ kernel do you recommend?

I flashed the update, wiped, then flashed Team PKMN's Venasuar ROM. The stock 3.14 ICS ROM leak is nice, don't get me wrong. It's just that they really did a bang-up job with their ported Sense 4. Version 3.2 should be dropping sometime today.

I believe the only two roms built off the new base so far are Nils' Business ICS 4.0 and Ineffabilis Deus v1.0 BETA. Use the kernel that comes with them and don't use any CPU control apps with it. It'll be only a matter of time before the other ICS roms update to it.
Thanks fellas!

I suggest doing the s-off procedure and doing a radio/patched 2.21 hboot flash, then choose your rom along with flashing new firmware patch.
Get your hboot off of unlimited.io
Your radios from here

I personally tried the S-off yesterday, but ADB devices stopped responding and I would have to fastboot install amonra again and reflash my kernel to get out of the soft brick
Others have had much worse, the majority has had great sucsess, my problem is probably rom based, others, not sure =)

Lol it happens, get used to it.
Anyways on to the individual at hand.
What's your device info? Like hboot version, what android version were you on before trying to flash? ICS or GB?
Here's a basics run down on how to get things going again.
There's a stock ruu/ota thread in the dev section, grab the stock GB ruu for your device, put your phone into fastboot mode (check in the amaze bible thread how to do this), restore your device, if it's a zip file for your carrier, rename it to PH85IMG and place it on your sd card, reboot into bootloader and then hit volume up to restore the stock ruu.
If it's an exe file, put it into fastboot and run the exe file, follow all steps and restore the device.
Once done, update to ICS via the software update option available on your device under settings>about phone>software update
Once you're on ICS, flash a custom recovery via hasoon's tool, then reflash the rom you were trying to flash in the beginning.
Ask any further questions right here.

Were you previously running gingerbread? If so, you'd need to flash the latest T-Mobile ICS RUU before attempting to install any ICS-Based ROMs
A tool has been made that will flash the latest T-Mobile ICS RUU, and it can be found here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762936

New radio etc

I have a question.. I am s on hboot 1.15 htc dev unlocked. I want to run meanrom 3.6 but it is based off the new update. I have read you can use fast boot or flash gui to flash the kernel and than flash the Rom after that. Question is.. Is this true for my setup and is there any concern about not having actually updated everything on the update? I read stuff about a Rom or base mismatch issue..Thanks for any help..

You got it...just fastboot flash the boot.img from the ROM, then flash the ROM in recovery and you should be all set. You shouldn't need to install the latest firmware for it to work, but it's probably recommended. That being said, since you're s-on you won't be able to anyway. Should be fine with just the kernel and ROM.

The new radio kicks but. Solves most or all problems with LTE. The dream of s-off for hboot 1.15 is a fantasy. Even the developer for Meanrom decided it wasn't worth waiting for an s-off that will probably never come and took the latest ota to bring his new phone up to date with the complete firmware package. Mikey was s-off and completely bricked his phone by accidentally putting the old firmware zip on his sdcard and flashed it. His replacement phone came with 1.12 and instead of going with s-off he decided to take the ota and keep it s-on. That way, he will have to flash just like the 1000 other users that use his rom. Yes, I am happy I am s-off, but if you aren't, you might as well get the full use of your phone and take the ota, unlock your phone again, and install MeanRom.
Those people that chime in and say the latest ota isn't worth it sure haven't tried it. This phone is so smooth now it is indescribable. The radios alone are worth it, but HTC did a great job with this update. Sense 4.1 and Android 4.04 are a grat combination.

Are you still s-off with all the latest firmware and base Rom?

New EVO 4g LTE user

Hi guys I am a new and very happy EVO 4G LTE user. Got my phone almost 2 weeks ago. Its a very sexy device.
But I am wondering if I am using my phone to its full capabilities. I haven't rooted or install any rom , but I am familiar with installing roms. I did it to my Evo 4G. I am no expert I id go through a bit of trouble to get it right.
I want to know what are some MUST HAVE things for this phone. Ive read about google now and I would love to be able to use an app like that. I think I have to install a rom for that and i am willing to do it. I am a bit scared to do the rom and flash a rom because I dont want to mess it up. Its running so nice right now. But if anyone is willing to help me and guide me in the right direction so I install some cool stuff and most important something that is well made. I want to see if you guys recommend me some roms and maybe a guide on how to root it and install roms and do it all correctly.
Thanks in advance and if you can post some links to maybe youtube vids that would be greatly appreciated.
Rooting is pretty straight-forward. It just depends on what hboot u have. Zedomax's root method is preferred to htcdevunlock, but if u plan to s-off the difference is minimal. Sorry if this is confusing. Do u know your hboot version? To find out turn phone off, then when turning back on hold down power and volume down until screen pops up. Look for hboot version # and remember that.
As far as a good stock starter rom with google now and multitasking fix I'd go with flex 360's stock w/ goodies. It has the beauty of sense but with the better battery life and speed of a custom rom. Actually haven't found a rom I like more since I left the og EVO.
What is the difference between s-on and s-off? What are the pros and cons of each on.

The difference between son and soff is that soff gives direct write access to the partitions. Son does not allow you to flash the kernel unless in recovery or flash any firmware updates. There is a downgrade toolkit being worked on and it's looking good from all the talk going on in the thread.

if u and up rooting and flashing a rom try mean rom!! :good:
If you hadn't quoted I wouldn't have caught my typo lol
Speaking as a noob my self.. if you really want ot root your phone.. listen to the folks on this forum .. they are extremely knowlegable and have helped me out of a couple of jams .. and just read alot.. this forum.. and any thing you can get your hands on
Viper rom is the best customizable rom and battery life is getting up there (currently challenging viper and awillis!) Meanrom most stock rom ever and its mad fast (version 4.8) stock with goodies aka flex360 rom is focused on multitasking and before that it was smoothest stock rom and was a deep sleeper (havent tried the recent version). Cm10 by deck is best aosp version of jelly bean (4.1) still a nightlie build but its daily driver worthy. These were the roms ive flashed and ran the past week.. i kept switching, hard to stay on one cause all of them are amazing. I personally flash for fun and to try the stuff that the devs have given us. Choose whatever fits u and satisfy u. Dont forget these are the devs choice to give us, so take what we have! Im sure there are other roms that r good its just i havent ran them cause theres too much but kudos to any devs that take their time on building a rom for us.
Btw Plz dont bash on my opinions im just saying

No issues with WiFi or 4g at all. Every rom has some little things wrong with it, but no more than stock does.
U want to use the htcdev unlock method to root. It's really easy, just follow the directions. I don't have the link since I'm on xda app. Just search EVO LTE forum for root. It's possible that the regawmod root method will still work, but they both use the htcdev unlock.
Also, flashing roms is going to be different than og EVO. U need to flash kernel separate from rom using flashGUI or adb tools via fastboot. Unless u decide to go s-off, then u can flash rom like you're used to
I'm running cleanrom 1.5 and I love it! I rooted mine in July so I'm sure there is a whole new way to root it now. But soff is pretty awesome. There are some great kernals out there and they can do wonders for your speed and battery life.

Search zedomax root method for root. Then lazypanda for s-off. Just follow instructions to a T and u will be fine.
U lucky bc 1.12.
Another new user here. I'm rooted but everything else is still stock. I've got HBoot 1.12 so it sounds like S-OFF will be easy. After that do I need to update the firmware and/or radio or can I go straight to TWRP recovery and try out custom ROMs?

U can go straight to twrp now and flash roms all u want. Ur rooted and have hboot 1.12, so just install rom from twrp and ur good. If u had 1.15+ then u would have to flash the kernel seperate, but no need to worry about that.
If u want s-off u should probably just go straight from root to lazypanda since the closest thing to stock works the best. Just make sure u read everything u can and follow directions exactly and u will be fine.
As far as flashing radios u can do that, but go s-off first so u don't have issues here. S-off allows u access to all partitions on your phone. 1.12 is good on access as well but just not as much as being totally s-off.
Make sure u flash radios properly, never downgrade or u will brick most likely. Follow captain throwback's radio thread for further in depth tips.
