Is it a very uncommon version for Amaze?

What does your carrier say? Usually HTC works in conjunction with them.

Never most carriers in Asia don't give a rats ass about updates not really HTC fault. But easy way around it just download the ics ruu file for your carrier rename it ph85img.zip go to bootloader and it will flash it automatically if your bootloader is locked

Also there is no "Asian" version of the amaze its most likely one from a Canadian or U.S or Europe that has been sim unlocked to work on carriers in Asia. The phone itself will show the carrier label on it (like t-mobile) and that is the ruu you have to flash for that carrier (no Asian carrier ruu)

Incorrect on all accounts. There is an Asian model of the Amaze. He can't just flash a stock RUU. He has to S-Off and SuperCID to flash any of our RUUs.

Well only on the account of Asian version then and I bought my amaze in Pakistan and it wasn't s-off only sim unlocked and I was able to flash t-mobile ruu (as the phone had t-mobile written on it that's how I knew) Secondly I don't recall any Asian ics ruu in the amaze bible thread hence that points to the fact that Asian carriers don't give a crap about updating and one would have to upgrade via other means. I know you are a developer but saying that I am wrong on all accounts... Is a bit harsh the op asked if he was going to get an update and I said no and he would have to do it manually (by whatever means necessary that is besides the point being asked) I wasn't informed there is a pure Asian version since I bought mine brand new in a sealed box but it had t-mobile logo on it in Asia (Pakistan). Thus dismissing my beneficial post like that was completely unnecessary. Good day

Oh and I also checked all the ruu just to make sure my post wasn't coming out of my ass and there is no ruu for "Asian" version at least on xda. Again had the op confirmed his was "unbranded" version then I would have told him the exact same thing you told him "Asian" version seems to be the "unbranded" version of amaze from the searches i did so maybe you were technically incorrect as well but hey why call someone out on a technicality eh? Lol

My Canadian phone doesn't have carrier label silk screened on the case, assume most others don't either.

Does that mean the op could possibly have a Canadian phone? See how can you tell the difference then or you are using an unbranded sim unlocked phone as well? I figure if it is unbranded people are labeling it "Asian" which is quite a misnomer then hence the confusion that I was trying to address to the op in the first place. Most of these phones are shipped "reconditioned" in cell phone markets of Asia (at least the South East Asia) and they can come from anywhere. I tried asking the op if there was a carrier label on the phone because "Asian" is just too vague.

Mine is an HTC branded phone. Just no carrier branding on the external case.

Lol, ur silly. I would have responded the same way hasoon did. Why? Because you responded to someone stating facts like you knew what you were talking about, when really all you were doing was giving out misleading information.
And to answer your question of how you would know if the phone was Asia version, Canada, etc... You just need to pull the CID from the phone, then u can figure it out

There's also a World Wide Version
Oh yes, there is an Asian version, there's even a world wide version of the amaze, mine.
I bought it from New York, the store people told me this is directly from HTC with no carrier involved, it is unbranded and sim unlocked too, looking at the cid I get this: HTC__044, which means HTC-Asia-SEA-WWE, so I guess they were honest.
The nice thing about it is that the system.img is only 580MB while T-Mobile-USA is 900MB, no bloatware whatsoever. I can upload it or any other partition image if anyone wants. However, trying to do s-off I damaged the boot partition, then I tried a failed attempt to install Energy rom while s-on, so I don't know what is intact in my phone other than the system.img since I backed it up before I did anything.

The only htc amaze with sim unlocked, is there any planned update for ics.
2nd is it ok to have it or to replace with t-mobile..etc

What r u talking about? I quoted hatlessandman because my response was to him, HE gave out incorrect information and HE asked how you would check what version/carrier the phone was for . And by him saying that there was no Asia version, he was giving out incorrect infornation.
I have no idea what u are trying to say to me or what your response to me is supposed to mean, so plz, do clarify

You should be able to reformat the boot partition from 4ext recovery.
EDIT: I find it interesting that the "WWE" asian version is not listed on the HTC website, although maybe the copy of the site I'm accessing is somehow filtering results for my US location.

Htc Amaze X715e
I have recently bought (Htc Amaze X715e) this phone in Pakistan. Os is GB. Phone shows that the software is uptodate. Is there any chance of getting ICS update on this model.
