How to make a system update to Gingerbread 2.3.4 > 1.43.531.3 from a rooted htc amaze
After rooting htc AMAZE to be able to modify a detail, I was surprized by not being able to update to Gingerbread 2.3.4 > 1.43.531.3 _ I saw in a T-mobile annoucement that the firmware is planing to update after January 20th to 2.3.5 needing the latest update I am trying to get. Is it possible through a rooted htc AMAZE?
this is what I found previously about this subject:

Hi all,
I got a problem about update my Amaze 4G which I brought at 5/11/11.
I had already root my phone and flash the clockworkmod recovery,
but before a few day, my phone remind my to download a system update.
When I completed download and begin to install,
my phone reboot and turn into the page follow
http://www.badongo.com/t/800/13959704
I saw a port http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1297467
Which tell the update information
Android version : 2.3.4
HTC Sense version : 3.0
Software version : 1.36.531.5
Kernel version : 2.6.35.13-g19a3d1a
[email protected] #1
Build number : 1.36.531.5 CL157207 release-keys
and I check my phone information is the same as the update
So I want to ask
1) Can I update the system update by HTC after I flash the clockworkmod recovery
2) If no, how can I update my system at the future or how can I flash back the original recovery
3) Is that update in the port is the latest one
4) If I already had the latest update, why my phone will remind me to download the update
Thank a lot!

Search for the stock recovery and flash it by hboot. Then update your phone and say goodbye to root. To obtain root again you will have to install busybox and superuser.
Honestly it'll be so much easier to flash a custom rom.

There are also rooted stock roms in the development section.

I suggest reading the [Read me first] and faq section if you are not familiar with these things. and possibly do a google search on what unlocking bootloader, and rooting is...if you are unfamiliar with these things you should familiarize yourself first before doing that kind of stuff...There are a lot of good information in those pages that are stickied on top of this forum...Please read them.
you can only have one custom recovery
and like binary said flashing a custom rom is the easiest way.

well, I knew what is unlock boot-loader and rooting. that's the only two things I have done so far, but questions started emerging once I could not make a system update. now flashing a custom rom, that I don't know what it is meant to say or what it does, I only find about how to do these things. please help clarifying the meaning of those technical words to know what best to choose, except anything before rooting

Flashing a rom means putting a new operating system on your phone...basically there is the one that came from your manufacturer, which is the stock rom, and other ones made by developers here.
So I assume you have unlocked bootloader, installed custom recovery and rooted your phone correct?

I mean I have some experience in computer engineering but this is my first time getting myself into the android arena. I could try here and there and find out all without bothering you by experimentation but I am afraid of the bricking syndrome. I don't know how can I be safe from bricking the phone and what are my precautions to avoid that
I still don't know what the OP wants. Maybe I'm just too tired to understand.
Hey Yass,
In 10 words or less.
What do you want? Keep it simple.
Do you want root?
Do you want stock?
Do you want the phone back to factory defaults without root?
Do you want a certain rom?
Please help us help you.
My goal is having a rooted phone that can have system updates like before. I need the root to have the arabic/hebrew supported. pretty much I want a phone that displays and writes arabic as supported language in the firmware. I tried patches that accomplish that only on browser but not everywhere. for that I figured I had to root and with rooting I don't want to loose system updates from what it fixes and improves general usage.

Well my Hebrew and Arabic is kinda rusty so I've never bothered to look.
A lot of the times a custom rom developer will remove the extra languages such as Mandarin, French, Spanish, Italian, Russian, German, Japanese, etc to save space in the rom itself since most of those counties don't even support the device. If they do then the local carriers probably don't sell it so it isn't very common. So in conclusion if the stock rom doesn't have it I would be clueless as to suggest which of our extremely limited custom roms would. So in other words I don't think there is anything that exactly fits your needs.
Even here in america lots of people need that language. there are stock roms supporting arabic but not on htc Amaze. as u said, not offered on arabic countries probably, but I know that some guys who want it there get it. and they had solutions to that problem through rooting. I can get help from them. But I am more conserened about keeping my rooted phone getting system updates while still staying rooted. Is this possible?

you cannot get over the air updates on a rooted phone, or maybe i'm wrong on this one too!!!! I seem to be rusty with OTA stuff. ON my N1, I always just installed the lasted Cyano mod...so I never really messed with ota and non ota stuff

You CAN still get the OTA but you need the stock recovery and stock rom to install it. So basically... you can root the stock rom via superuser .zip file then flash the stock recovery back. Needless to say that when you install the next OTA you will lose root.

hi
I just bought a sprint photon 4g and i am in India. its unlocked
how do I upgrade it to ics 4?? and after upgrade will it stay unlocked???
thanks.
I take it you mean carrier unlocked. In which case youll need to unlock the bootloader and install cwm. Then youll be able to flash one of the ics roms. To do all this, search the photon android development forum for a thread started by qbking77. He makes videos showing you how to do all this. If you cant find the thread just find qbking77 on youtube and follow his videos.

Hi,
I rooted the phone and installed ClockWork thorugh Rom Manager.
Can you please tell me what do you mean by: Unlock the bootloader ?
Thanks.
The official ICS upgrade for Photon is not out yet. You need to install developer rom to get ICS (I am using unofficial CM9 by jokersax). Now, to install this rom, you need to unlock the bootloader (qbking77 has video for that). Without unlocking the bootloader, you won't be able to install these roms. Caution: Unlocking the bootloader will void your warranty and 4G won't work.

Hi,
Thanks for the information. I really apperciated it. I just have 1 more concern before i proceed. I don't worry about warranty and 4G as I bought the set in India. And India does'nt have 4G so no worries on that either! Only edge should work and wifi!
Ok, my main concern is, my phone is unlocked, will it get locked if I upgrade ?
Thanks.
Again, by unlocked, do you mean carrier unlocked? If yes, then it will remain unlocked. Don't worry, I am from India too and my phone is working fine with the Airtel sim card.
Hi,
I am not sure if its called carrier unlock. The phone is from US and I am using it in India with Indian operator. I just want to confirm that if I upgrade then I will still be able to use my Docomo simcard or it will ask me to put in Sprint simcard ?
Thanks.
You can unlock bootloader and flash any custom Rom and still use in India.
I am using mine in India with bootloader unlocked and custom Rom. Both CDMA and GSM is working fine.

Hi,
I followed qbking77's unlock video and when i ran the fastbook oem command it says: ... INFOOEM unlock is not implemented.
Also earlier my phone was carrier unlocked and working, but now when i turn it on, the issues:
1. It shows: Contacting Netwoking for 5-10 mins or so
2. Finally when it starts it shows that i am in International Roaming
3. It opens a wizard which says that the phone is not activated and I have to activate it.
4. Wifi is not working
5. Can't make / recieve calls anymore.
What to do ?
Seems my phone is now back to Sprint and not working as it was earlier.
How to fix ?
Thanks.
Installing cwm through rom manager was your mistake, rom manager version of cwm doesn't work well on the photon. The activation is irrelevant if you arnt using sprints network. Don't worry about it as once you're unlocked and have flashed a different rom the roaming and such will be handled differently. I suggest starting over and watching the corresponding videos in this order...
- Take the phone back to stock 2.3.4
- Rooting and installing bootstrap recovery
- Unlocking bootloader and installing cwm
Be careful not to miss even a single step. They are all important.

Hi!
This summer I'm getting my first Android phone (Xperia S), and I have some questions about rooting. I would post this in the Development section, but I don't have 10 posts.
Since I'm a power user, I want to root my phone, but since I never had a smart phone, I'm not that familiar with the rooting process. I know what bootloader and rooting itself is, but when I'm reading the guides, I'm not completely familiar with all the terms and whatnot.
I only want to root my phone, without using any special roms or anything. Should I keep my bootloader locked or should I unlock it? Does this affect the updates in any way? If I unlock the bootloader, will I still be able to update the phone or will I need to relock it?
Will I need to reroot the phone after each firmware update?
If you have any additional hints or information, I would be glad to read it.
Regards,
Klemen
The main benefit of rooting your phone is you can install any software you want, some apps need root permission, you can also customize UI, tweak performance, making a better battery life, etc.
on this device, you can relock it. If you doubt about your warranty, you can use the rooting with locked bootloader method. but you still need to relock if you want to claim your warranty in some cases. I hope you will not.
my advice is just use to your phone first, you enjoy with keyboard, texting, surfing on google play, bla bla bla. You will find the answer why you want to root or not.
I already know that I want to root my phone, the main reason is to get rid of the ads.
I'm just not sure, which is the preferred method of rooting it. I'm curious what's going to happen to future updates if I root the phone (some say, that every firmware unroots the phone).

I've numbered your questions in the quote, and made them bold for easier explanation.
1. Considering your last post (you want mostly to remove ads), I would recommend keeping it locked. For rooting it and installing CWM Recovery (I can try to explain what this is, if you don't know), you can follow this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1742992
2. As said by XGAdev, you must relock your bootloader if you need to send it to warranty or update using either SUS or PC Companion. But you always can use Flashtool for updating. Just download the original firware you want, put it on the right folder and flash it.
3. Well, the answer is on the second one.
Right now, you just want to remove ads. In no time you will be heavily modding it, theming,etc. This also happened to me
If you need anything else, just say it. Press the thanks button if I was helpful enough, and if you want to press it. If not, just say it
My opinion:
Keep the BL locked, so you don't loose the DRM Keys, and follow the Root with BL Locked Guide to obtain Root Acess...
Unless you really want to have a tweaked kernel you wont need to Unlock the BL

Well, for starters, I'm only going to root the phone. After some time, I'll maybe consider trying other ROMs.
Any ROM can be used in Locked BL (rooted)?
Hello guys
I want to use certain custom roms and upgrade from my 2.1 ....
I kept reading 10-15 threads but I'm still a bit confused so just in case, i'll ask just to be sure and avoid bricking it.
So, here's the info of my phone :
1. Xpeia X10 Mini Pro U20i
2. Manufacture Date : 10W35
3. Base Band Version : M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404006
4. Kernel Verion : 2.6.29
5. Firmware Version 2.1
Now, I posted everything ...
Few questions:
1. Is there a chance of briking it ?
2. In order to install custom ROMS, I need to unlock the bootloader first?
Now ....
I do read the threads fully, but being a noob coming to this .. (not stupid thouh ) .. it's a bit confusing but I will manage to do it .. just need some starting points.
So, anything I should do before flashing the ROM , please enumerate here.
Thanks

First of all, you need to update your firmware, the baseband needs to read 4015 on the end before you install any roms.
Second: There are ROMS that will run fine on your current kernel, so if you choose one of those, there is no need to unlock the bootloader.
If you want to run a ROM that states it needs a custom (usually nAa) kernel, then you do need to unlock your bootloader, otherwise you can't flash the new kernel.
With the 10w35 datestamp you won't get a hard brick with unlocking, but it may still go wrong, depending on some other factors, namely your simlock-certificate.
I would recommend to start with a rom that runs on stock kernel, to get some experience, and do the other things once you feel more comfortable

If I remember correctly Android supported flash since 2.2 frozen yogurt, so any custom roms could run it, you'll just have to find the flashplayer for armv6, there should be a link somewhere on this forum. Try the Mini Themes and Apps section
Never be afraid of flashing. Because you can always recover it. the only tough thing is unlocking the BL. read carefully and pay attention. Goodluck.
PS if you HARD BRICK your phone because you fail to unlock the BL it can still be repaired via JTAG.

I kept reading for two days now I'm ready to do it ....
Wish me luck.
just smashed my oneplus one so the other half has gave me her z2,
managed to root it on 4.4.4 and have Clockwork Recovery,
it so much more difficult to flash roms...
basically im looking for a rom with good battery life and good camera mods,
can some one just give me the heads up, do i still need to downgrade to 4.4.2 do i need to install dual recovery
and any tips on roms
cheers
based on what you wrote i'm assuming to rooted through unlocking your bootloader, which has voided your warranty and resulted in losing your DRM keys, now you don't have to downgrade for anything. that is required if you don't have a rooted phone and need to root without unlocking bootloader.
now you can simply flash any new rom. there are multiple choices, but only two lollipop roms available right now based on stock, Existez Y and Moonwalker Provolution, both are available in development section. personally i'm using Existenz Y as the black design in Provolution was not exactly my cup of tea, and it has some terrific options as ambient display and changing navbar size inbuilt without the need of xposed. otherwise there are multiple AOSP and CM based ROMS available in both development and orig development section. for flashing steps please read them on OP of each rom, and go through the threads properly before asking for them in new posts or threads.
thank you very much for writing back to me , yes i have unlocked the bootloader ,
reading Exstez topic it mentions about flashing latest firmware and adding dual recovery?
just checked Moonwalkers

reading Exstez topic it mentions about flashing latest firmware and adding dual recovery?

That is required if you are on LB and have dual recovery. i dont think if you have unlocked bootloader you need dual recovery. you can use normal recovery to flash. anyway dual recovery is available for UB also so you can use that. provides you with more option and i personally prefer that.

Yes for moonwalker its recommended that you come from LP base. but i'm not sure how you can go back to stock after unlocking your BL. can't flash stock FTF normally as it might brick the device. might want to check sticky threads for getting to LP on unlocked bootloader. creating a prerooted firmware might help you in that. since i have a locked BL dont really know a lot about that part.
Just a heads up, since you unlocked your boot Loader the camera low light performance will be significantly bad and other Sony exclusive apps might not work. Hopefully you backed up TA partition.
