****Disclaimer: As always, though there is little risk in doing this, if you turn your device into a building material (brick), blow it up, or it vanishes in thin air, I will not be responsible****
ICS is officially here ... If you want ICS you must flash the RUU for your carrier. (All RUU's for ALL carriers are found here)
!!There are certain steps to flashing this, so please read on!!
(Minor Update: Hasoons Toolkit, which is mentioned throughout this thread, is NO LONGER AVAILABLE through the links I've provided, Unless you are able to find an alternative link, you obviously won't be able to use the the toolkit in the steps its mentioned. NOT TO WORRY, the toolkit is NOT required. Just follow the directions they include how to do it with and without the toolkit.)
ATTENTION!! YOU MUST FLASH ICS RUU FIRST BEFORE YOU CAN FLASH A CUSTOM ICS ROM!!
The following steps using only a PH85IMG.zip (RUU) applies to TMOBILE devices only (unless you are s-off with super cid). The other carriers use a PH85IMG.zip and an .EXE that you run from your computer with your phone connected to the computer. i will try and add instructions
S-ON INSTUCTIONS (T-Mobile)
- First, i recommend downloading Hasoon's toolkit, as it will help in a few steps, and make life much easier, especially if you are new to this. Get it here!
1) Download the Latest T-Mobile RUU!.
2.) Rename the downloaded RUU file to ph85img.zip and then put that file on the ROOT of your External SD card. (Windows may add the .zip extension for you, so make sure it doesn't end up being named ph85img.zip.zip) (IF you do not have an sd card reader, Make sure to place the PH85img.zip on sd card BEFORE locking your bootloader in the next step)
3.) If your boot loader is Unlocked, you will need to Relock it. Easiest way is to use Hasoon's toolkit OR you can use adb command = fastboot oem lock.
4.) Now, with the ph85img on your external sd card and your bootloader locked, power on your phone by holding down "Power+VolumeDown" buttons. Continue to hold both buttons until the "bootloader" screen displayed.
5.) Once you are in the bootloader, It will prompt you to update. Select yes and let it run its course, It will do the rest for you. When it is done, you will now have stock ICS and can boot up your phone.
If you want to flash custom roms, root your phone, etc. continue with the following steps.
6.) Unlock bootloader again through http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/]HTC dev, or if you have unlocked the bootloader before and still have the original .bin file, you can use that one again (Hasoon's toolkit can assist in this)
7.) Flash 4ext recovery. (...Use Hasoon's toolkit to do this) OR Paid Version / Free Version **You must use 4ext as your recovery if you are S-ON) by Enabling "SMARTFLASH" in the 4ext recovery settings. This will allow the Kernel to get flashed or, if not enabled you will only get bootloops when flashing roms
8.) Finally, To regain root, Flash superuser package, through recovery (may take a couple flashes to work, including rebooting recovery and flashing again.)
You can now flash custom ics roms if you want. Make sure to always do a full wipe when flashing a different rom
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
S-OFF INSTRUCTIONS(T-Mobile)
1.)If you are already S-Off, you DO NOT need to go back to S-On and you DO NOT need to relock your bootloader.
2.) Download the RUU and rename it PH85IMG.zip.
3.) Place the PH85IMG.zip on the root of your External SD card.
4.) Next, power on your phone by holding down "Power+VolumeDown." Continue to hold both buttons until the phone boots into the "Bootloader."
5.) Once you are in the bootloader, It will prompt you to update. Select yes and let it run its course, It will do the rest for you. When it is done, you will now have stock ICS and can boot up your phone.
However, if you want to root again, you will need an ENG HBOOT or Juopunutbear's HBOOT flashed or else you won't be able to flash a recovery, etc.

S-OFF found here!

Good idea, but no actual info on this thread yet. Besides the OTA rumors, there is some work being done on CM9 - will that be covered here?
I tried 3.6 for the amaze, seemed a whole lot smoother than stock 3.0, still waiting patiently for 4.0 for the amaze though lol, tried the one V port to the Inspire and it is a HUGE improvement over 3.6

Hey all, I posted in another thread about a response I received from Telus about the ICS update. The Telus rep had responded that the update had been released in January. I emailed back calling bull**** (but in a polite Canadian way of course), and received yet another response from Telus. Typical Telus moronery (I made up that word in Telus' honor).
Here is their last response:
Hello Mark,
I regret to see that you were provided with the incorrect information from the previous representative. I checked with our Data and Network Assistance Team and the manufacture has not provided us with a date as to when the Android 4.0 update will be available for the HTC Amaze. I have provided you the link below that shows all of the updates that are available currently available. The HTC Amaze will be added to this list once the ICS update becomes available:
http://www.telusmobility.com/en/BC/Software-Updates/android-updates-main.shtml
So, as suspected, no update yet.
I suspect itll come in a week or two, sicne the rezound is getting it next week
aj & ward,

i was comparing it with the amaze so wouldnt that make it amaze related?
Firstly, thanks to everyone who contributes to this site. It has started me on a great journey of playing with these devices, starting with the Nook Color last year. Now I have a Rezound (trying to S-Off), and a new Nexus 7.
I have unlocked the bootloader using the HTCdev tool. I'm unsure where to go from here. I have the Hasoon2000 s-off tool, but it seems I need to root the phone. I haven't found any instructions for getting me through the rooting part. Can anyone point me in the right direction so I can advance?
Thank you very much,

+1 sorry i dont really want to start another threat because im kind of the same situation. My phone is htcdev unlock s-on h-boot 2.10 (yeah i know)
Amonra-recovery custom Rom. I want to s-off but my question is. Im i good to go to s-off how my phone is right now or do I have to change H-boot? and if I do which would you recommend?
Go to:
http://androidsu.com/superuser/
Download the latest download for ARM. Devices. Flash via recovery and you will be rooted.
HTC Rezound
You need to flash a recovery and use it to flash Superuser or SuperSU. Hansoon2000 has a different all-in-one toolkit for the Rezound that can help you with all of that. It's linked under the sticky thread in Development. There's also other threads with manual instructions for the steps.
Thanks for your help, everyone. I was able to get things working correctly, and installed ViperRez 1.0.3. Very cool indeed!
Edit: I ended up going for the CM9 stock build instead. I really don't like Sense much, and much prefer the stock ICS interface.
I pulled the rom.zip from the new OTA(2.17.605.2) RUU that is needed for the root/ S-OFF exploit(AS OF 12/5/12 RELEASED).
INSTRUCTIONS
1) Download this - MD5 = 55023CC10B59FDEC0AAA6695C4CF83FB
2) rename to PJ53IMG.zip (make sure it's not named PJ53IMG.zip.zip...)
3) put the PJ53IMG.zip on the root of your SD-Card. (not in any folders)
4) reboot to bootloader
5) let the phone do its magic
6) enjoy Sense 4.1
7) smile.

if you are htc dev unlock and doing this, u need to lock ur bootloader to install it, then unlock again after, make sure u have ur unlock_token
Sorry but it makes no sense to me that people are recommending the need to relock and then install this update. It can already be installed by those that are unlocked by downloading the version that nitsuj17 posted in the dev forums. This gives you all of the "benefits" of the update without having to relock. Plus, nitsuj17 is already working on a new version of Viper with the latest update.
Is the idea to get the new bootloader? To what advantage would that be (obviously it is to people that are not unlocked)?

idk who you mean by people? It's me suggesting what to do to be prepared for the S-OFF tool. This goes for everyone, stock and rooted.
you need to run the RUU/or accept it as OTA on your phone if you want S-OFF.
not just running a ROM.
also it's in the very first line of the OP.. "I pulled the rom.zip from the new OTA(2.17.605.2) RUU that is needed for the root/ S-OFF exploit"

Ok, so I need to:
1. Re-lock the bootloader
2. Download the RUU
3. Follow the 7 steps at the beginning of this thread
4. Then I can unlock the bootloader again.
At this point I'll be ready for S-Off... correct?
The part I wasn't sure about was whether I had to re-lock first.
Thanks Andybones...

it took me a lil bit to remember that when htcdev unlock u need to lock to be able to run ruu it will say unzipping, and installing on the system part dont freak out just let it run, i almost pulled batt, and DO NOT do that while doing and RUU thats pretty much certain brick of phone eek!

As for what I meant by people is that there are several here who have suggested it not just you.
wearing a hole in the carpet while waiting...
I wonder if it's just me who is anxious to gain S-OFF under the new OTA update. I suspect I know the answer.

need you ask!!!!!!!
haha this is why I LOVE this community!
you guys are awesome.
in the rezound forums, once I tested s-off (on my only personal device mind you, having to use a paper clip....) and once I got it, they were also making the tool for about 6 other phones, so before it got released ALL phones had to be tested, so it took a bit longer for it to come, and when I made like the splash thread, some people spammed me saying how I'm rubbing it in their faces, and that's completely not true. I mean, I must have rebooted my phone over 100 times with that paper clip, I also figured out for the team that the SD-card was the reason, so that saved a lot of time and hassle for them.
long story short, I sure as hell don't regret selling that brick of **** and buying this awesome phone with awesome people to share it with!
Since we are only waiting for a tool for just our phone (I think anyway) it shouldn't take nearly as long as that wait IMO, but again I don't know. But it is pretty cool that the exploit was found in a new update, usually they break the exploits not open them up lol.
big props to superdave for finding that otherwise this wouldn't of happened I don't think, or certainly not this fast anyway.
Lol! It's a great community of people here and just goes to show that when you buy an Android device, you don't just get an awesome device. You get an awesome community of helpful and fun people to share yout experiences with!

s-off is not yet possible I think.
You can unlock your bootloader and root your HOX+ with HTCDev.
Before you do anything you need to read and understand first what needs to be done. S-Off is not possible now.
Before you do anything, make sure the phone is fully charged.
First you have to unlock the bootloader via www.HTCDev.com Be aware that the internal SD Card is wiped, so backup any music/photos/files you want to keep.
Then you need to install one of the recoveries available for the X+ and make a backup of your stock ROM (the one your X+ is shipped with).
Then you can either just root your stock ROM, or install a Custom ROM which normally are rooted. Custom ROMs are ATM only for the intl. One X+ available. The AT&T version of the One X+ will get them soon!
Because of the S-Off issue it is necessary that the boot.img of the ROM you want to install has to be flashed seperately in fastboot mode.
You access the hboot/fastboot screen by power off your phone, then after a short while press Vol (-) and Power button together and hold them until you see the white screen with the hboot/fastboot screen.
Please start reading here which explains how to unlock your X+. That tutorial is for the HTC One X but basically the same.
Please be aware that you need for the One X+ this recovery or this which are both installed via Fastboot.
After you made sure to do a backup, you can install a custom ROM via the recovery.

Have to second this part.
All I needed at this point was free tethering on ATT.
After using hasoon2000's tool, I was able to follow the instructions in the Q&A area for how bypass ATT for tethering.
It just puts the stock ROM back in, which is a good ROM.
Won't bother to flash it until folks come up with stable ROMS's that have extra tweaks I want
