Any possibility you can upload said update to a server and send it to me. Im quite suspicious.

Send me a PM if you would like to discuss the best way to upgrade to the most current firmware and radios.
I'll help decide what's best for you and keep you from chasing your tail with information overload that may seem conflicting.

Odd that you would get an email with your update. I wouldn't think it would be any great update passed the global leak. But pm snuzzo or Charlie to make sure. Sounds suspicious to me.

Are people sure the OP isn't just talking about the email discussed here?
I know it would be more interesting if he actually got a suspicious email with some new or fake ICS build or a JB test build attached, but I suspect he may have just been referring to the email about the original ICS update that I, among several others, received some time ago, and he was not sure if it was a new update or something.
Prove me wrong, OP! But until then, I would not get too excited about this 'update'.

Probably the email you are referring too. I also received it last week.

How are HTC RUU's leaked?

Ive always asked that. And what are the possibilities of a leak for our phones?

just keep on checking the dev page, he will upload it here if it leaks ..... i think he would
usually leaked by a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of some dev, ever since i was still using my g1.
but the likeliness of seeing a leaked amaze RUU is slim, considering football is best at european RUU's, and our phone is limited to north america.

guys i asked football if he could give me the link to the ruu's. he gave me the link, but the media site he has them uploaded to says that i have to have a premium account to d/l... so i asked him if he could re-upload them due to the problem i was having and he never said anything about it since.
i also asked xboarder, he said he would "look around for me" and he has yet to find anything. i even pm'ed him telling him about the d/l problem i was having, but he never replied.
the t-mobile one here i heard didnt work http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1570807
can anyone else help me get the ruu? i want to do the following:
#1- restore my phone to the 1.43 stock rom and root it. then make a nandroid so i have a clean stock backup.
#2- make a flashable stock rom that devs can use as there bases for roms. (makes life alot easier!)
so please, can anyone get me the ruu?

In Regards to the Update Coming Soon

Seeing that there is a boatload of work to install this leak, I decided that its probably time to do homework instead of trying to play with my phone at 2AM.
However, I have noticed a lot of people saying that the release cannot be too far behind since the leak came out.
I'm a bit skeptical on this idea, because didn't a leak come out for the HTC Sensation ages ago? Now, I did not research much, but as far as I know (again, I may be wrong), the Sensation didn't have an official update either.
Its definitely not too far-fetched to think that the update might be delayed even further. HTC did promise that the updates would be early 2012 and as we all know, "early 2012" was a long time ago. Some said the updates would be during MWC, some said otherwise. What do you guys think?
As for development, this is definitely a very good sign as the interest and traffic for the HTC Amaze the past two days were quite phenomenal. The CM9 builds and Evervolv builds never really got anywhere for months. Do you guys think its worth downloading the leak now? Or would waiting be a better option? From what I heard, you have to re-root your device simply downloading the update.

There had been so many issues for me, such as getting S-Off to try and make things easier but there were errors for backing up. Instructions said if I wanted to install with S-On, I'd have to lock and unlock my phone again. How did it work out for you? I haven't even seen screenshots of this update. Is it sense 3.5?

The only htc sensation(the original one, not the xl) that doesn't have ics is the sensation 4G (T-mo version)
I honestly wouldn't be too surprised if Tmo is sitting on the update to push sales for the One-S. Not that I am a marketing expert or anything, but so far the release seems very stable and I can't figure out why they are holding off on it
I have a stock Amaze and installed it easily. All I did was rename the file and drop it on the drive.

Yes and no is my uneducated opinion. I feel like they're update the firmware yet because the radio seems finicky. With s-off, I think that they'll just be able to update the firmware through hboot, but with s-on I think we'll need to go stock, download the update, then do the reroot process....I could be off, but in the end we'll still be ok for any updates either way.
I think that pushing One S sales definitely sounds likely.
Meanwhile, I just think T-Mobile is bad with updates and this sucks for the development community because it means less resources to help people. There are so many devices out there getting updates anyways. Its not like updating the Amaze is going to hurt their revenue either. Its just frustrating. I definitely advise against waiting for an update from T-Mobile. Definitely update now. There are already great ROMs that were made.

It won't let me update to ICS.

So I'm trying to do the ics update and when I tell it to check for updates, it says "your phone is up to date, there are no updates availabe"
Why won't it give me the update? I tried restarting the phone. Also tried turning off WiFi and doing it on 4g.

Keep checking for software updates, it'll tell you there is no update when the server load is high, after all, everyone is updating. If you're s-on just make sure you're on complete stock, if not flash the stock ruu via hboot, if you used the leaked ICS, well your chances are nada unless you s-off.
what is s-on and s-off?
Had to manually update from hboot. Got a little scared as the phone turned off when I was updating. Pressed the power button and it came back to hboot then it updated from there.
Security ON or Security OFF, if you're off, you can downgrade and flash the official ICS or upgrade to any of the leaked or official files, while on the other hand if you're on, well you have to do everything officially and there's no downgrading allowed.

Everything is stock, so you should be clear. Just make sure your software version corresponds with one of tmo's stock software id's for GB.
You don't have to relock the BL by the way, you just have to be on stock recovery/software.

[Rant]It gets deleted because there are like 50 threads opened up every time a noob has an issue. This site is not www.noobsupportRus.com. It's a site for development. If u screw up your phone because you didn't read or know what you're doing, its not worthy of opening a new thread begging for help.
Now, if someone were to get the Amaze, they wouldn't know where to start because of all the clutter yapping about the same **** over and over.
If you're a noob unwilling to read, then leave ur phone stock or pay someone. Moderators have been asking for this over and over and over... It gets old.
Has anyone wondered where most of the regular senior members went lately? I've never seen any forum like the Amaze forum... Where noobs actually run people away from xda with stupidity. [/Rant]

this is odd to me. why wouldnt you flash the leak? do you think t-mobile magically cooks up ota's to send out to its subscribers? ota's come from the manufacturer (with the exception of GED's) and are sent to carriers for testing. the carrier then decides whether it will accept the ota or reject it. this is why you saw a revision in the build number from .1 to .3. .3 was accepted and pushed out to amaze owners, over-the-air.
the leak is just an earlier release of the final product. im not sure whats so hard to understand about that? you guys that were waiting, couldve been running the ota ics like 2 weeks ago...

ICS Starting to Roll Out

One more for the unconfirmed rumor mill. Posts are starting to show up on the Moto Customer Care site by users who are starting to receive the OTA from VZW:
https://forums.motorola.com/posts/358e9e30e9
I think this is absolutely true because I've been sitting on a virgin Maxx replacement. Last night I got tired of waiting for the OTA and ended up taking two hours to reinstall all of my apps, adjust all of my phone settings exactly like I like them, pair my BT devices, etc from scratch. Since I'll wipe my device and start over after the OTA -- just my preference to have a completely clean system to build on -- it absolutely figures the roll out will start as soon as I was done with it.
Sorry to all -- if I knew Moto and VZW was waiting on me to set up my phone before pushing the OTA, I would have done it last week
We Soak testers got this email yesterday.....
Hello again, everyone.
Later tonight we'll end our soak test. A phased roll out of the software will begin soon.
We are deeply grateful for the feedback and information provided. This was by far the largest soak we've ever attempted. We didn't really know what it would be like to have so many participants. We learned a lot and have already figured out some better ways to do things in the future. We appreciate you hanging in there as as we ploughed through all the information you provided.
To those of you who did not get the update or were unable to access the private community --your experience has also helped us find and correct issues. We'll be better next time based on your feedback. Please remember that the processes, information and communications shared during this soak test are confidential and not to be shared outside of this private community.
However, we do hope you will return to the public RAZR/RAZR Maxx community -- here and on other sites -- and help your fellow owners make the transition to Ice Cream Sandwich.
We will leave the private community up for a short time, but once you log out it will no longer be available to you. Soon we will close the threads to comments. We will continue to work with some of you and reach out if we need additional information.
Thank you so, so much. Hope to see you again in soaks. We rely on your energy, intelligence and enthusiasm.

Am wondering if I got lucky somehow. Got MAXX in mail from Verizon last friday, 6/22. When looking at another tread about how to update to ICS I noticed the file name for the ICS update matches what I see on my MAXX for system version. 6.12.181.XT912.Verizon.en.US with kernel number 2.6.35.7. Did I get a phone that had ICS already loaded? Have not gotten any messages about updating it OTA.
If I go by the file name and the system version on the phone it would seem it is ICS already. Thoughts?

It seems like 211 is the official, but there was an article linked in another thread that Moto is updating it for the battery life issue that was reported by many soak testers.
So I don't know if they are releasing 211 and then will follow it with a quick update, or if they are going to update 211 and then do the mass ota release.

We got another email after the soak test sending us to another survey. The survey was centered around battery life and not being able to switch between 4g and 3g. My guess is that they are gonna buff out the battery issue and add a CDMA only option.

HTC lied again

HTC promised us the ICS update by the end of July. Wrong again. Here we are in August and no ICS update. I think I am like most people and dont really care about the update itself so much as HTC releasing the source code so we can get serious modding done. Personally, I am running CleanROM and it works great. I wouldnt mind having a new CleanROM based on the offical ICS update, though, if it ever comes out.
Either way, I will NEVER buy another Verizon or HTC phone again. This was my first on both of them and it will be my last for sure. Soon as my 2 yr contract is up, I'm ditching Verizon.
Edit: Well, go figure. I post this and then the update comes out the next day. Mod, delete this whole thread at will, it serves no purpose now.
You're surprised?
Because of a mere update? Okay... They never promised July, they said summer which as far as I know it still is.So this is why devs hate when people ask for ETAs.

Personally, I am running CleanROM and it works great. I wouldnt mind having a new CleanROM based on the offical ICS update, though, if it ever comes out.
Either way, I will NEVER buy another Verizon or HTC phone again. This was my first on both of them and it will be my last for sure. Soon as my 2 yr contract is up, I'm ditching Verizon.

Because of a mere update? Okay... They never promised July, they said summer which as far as I know it still is.So this is why devs hate when people ask for ETAs.

Dear Andrew S,
Thank you for contacting HTC regarding the Android 4.0 update. I understand that you are excited to receive the update for your HTC Rezound. I will be happy to share the information I have with you.
The ICS (Android 4.0) update will be released for the Rezound by the end of this month (July) with final pushes in August. Due to localization, testing, and partner approvals, updates do not roll out to all devices at the same time. For devices on a wide variety of carriers and in many countries, rollouts can take up to 45 days from the initial update to reach everyone. It’s almost here, Andrew! We are as excited as you are. I hope you enjoy the rest of your week!

Why do people insist this is HTC's fault alone. From what I understand, HTC had already prepared the update, Verizon just hasn't pushed it to our phones yet. HTC doesn't push out OTA updates....Verizon does. Focus your hate on them.

Final pushes in August...besides that source is as reliable as the update list with a huge CONFIDENTIAL watermark on it lol

HTC doesn't really control this anyway. They give the updates to Verizon and Verizon pushes them. HTC can only report what VZW is telling them.
Am I the only one sick of these threads/posts? We have had ics forever and yet everyone is *****ing about an ota. Kernal source, blah blah blah. :banghead: We will get it when we get it, enjoy the roms we have.

HTC has had the update finished for a while now I'm sure. It's all just sitting in Verizon's desk under a stack up of new contract papers and hate mail somewhere.
It's not HTC its Verizon. Verizon has this new thing called the cloud that saves you emails and pic ect....... I know this because I had a htc Inc2 that received a update and it lost emails Facebook ect.....so Verizon offered me the rezound because they had no time line to fix it so thanks to Verizon cloud we don't have ics this is why htc keeps posting it on there web page its available . Htc is not the problem it will always be Verizon

Yeah the update is in queue. VZW is who decides when it goes out, so be mad at them, not HTC.

Isn't the point of having a forum like XDA, which has so many talented developers, that you don't have to wait if you don't want to? As about a billion people have posted on all these "waiting for OTA" threads have said, ICS for the Rezound is available RIGHT NOW for anyone that wants it - you don't even have to root - I'm new to the Rezound, but have been rooting phones with the help of XDA for years now - i have CHOSEN to wait for the OTA, knowing that at any time I can flash one of the great ROMS that have been put together with great care and support by some really smart people - it just seems odd that people who are on a forum dedicated to NOT WAITING for manufacturers to get their act together will post repeatedly about how upset they are about having to wait -

Excellent point, will still need them to officially release ICS so in turn they have to release the ICS kernel source code also then the devs can do even more great work.
