Hi, I'm getting a HTC Amaze in the mail this week and wanted to know if I can root it without installing a custom rom or launcher, I just want to download the latest Android OS but keep it stock. Is it possible? I had rooted phones before and those custom roms tend to lag after a week or so.. I'll appreciate any help Thanks.

Yes
I deem you anyhow bought one of those sometimes called here - UNBRANDED - which has its CID #44, and in this case you can't just upgrade it from GB to ICS.. You will have to pass all the way as follows:
Unlocking bootloader >> getting 4EXT custom recovery >> installing SuperUser >> performing S-OFF >> writing SuperCID >> flashing ICS Firmware >> finally ICS ROM of your choice ..
All the aforementioned is full of fun
P.S. To check your new toy CID - use this tool:

Ok thanks for the info..

You can also get your CID from fastboot.
fastboot getvar cid
SIM Unlocked, S-Off, CM10, Super CID, 4EXT HTC Amaze on AT&T
I Also purchased HTC Amaze - UNBRANDED - , ans sucessfuly done Unlocking bootloader >> getting 4EXT custom recovery >> installing SuperUser >> performing S-OFF >> writing SuperCID >> flashing ICS Firmware >> finally ICS ROM .
And realy its was real fun in doing all of these.
You do know that CM10 official nightlies are out for the Amaze, right? Ditch ICS and put some jellybean in your life!! Unless you rely on Wifi calling for tmobile, that is.

I thought I read we can still root this software update
But have to use HTC dev plus a script
Anyone confirm this and have a link to what I need to root the update

Yeah but it uses the HTC unlock, so...

Root will always be available.
HTC gave us a root method
But the annoying thing is that HTC gave us a root method that wipes your phone first.
I'm still waiting for a new temp root exploit so that I can run Titanium Backup first before I do the dev unlock.
I wonder if anybody is actually working on one, or if everybody just takes it on faith that *somebody* must be.
I bet if the HTC method wasn't there, people would be trying harder to find one.

This tool works like a charm, and HTC has no idea you are rooted. I used it last night - took about 10 min. You pretty much download drivers and this app, and run the app. Very easy.

What's wrong with HTC Unlock?
I used HTC Unlock and it was a breeze. Given being a noob since this is my first HTC device i've tinkered with, it was quite painless
The only things wrong with it are that:
1. It wipes all your customizations so you have to start over from scratch, or from what some non-root backup app can restore which isn't much.
2. It doesn't give you S-Off, so you can't flash radio updates, but to me that's no big deal.
The biggest issue with HTC dev on the newest H-boot is that you cannot flash kernels normally through recovery
Never accept an OTA. S-Off is soooooo convenient

Pretty sure they still know. It still has to extreact info from the phone to get token to unlock phone. You just don't see it happening but the program is contacting HTC to unlock the phone.

I thought TWRP / HTC Dumlock could now flash kernels with S-OFF:

Regaw uses minimal user information in the unlocking process.
With that said, you can never be sure HTC doesn't know you unlocked it. Frankly, Its not going to matter if they know or know when your boot loader says relocked.

Not through the normal channels with the new H-boot
Sorry, I meant to say S-ON.
(So are there abnormal channels for flashing a kernel then?)
Do I have this all wrong, or isn't it true that a ROM includes a kernel, and you can flash a ROM with S-ON, but not a kernel by itself?

The kernel in the ROM doesnt get flashed. When going from sense to sense it isnt an issue because its still the stock HTC kernel
If you try flashing cm10 without pushing the boot.img the phone wont boot because it has an AOSP ROM and sense kernel
Abnormal channels would be your fastboot flash, htc dumlock, or flashgui
What's the problem.with not being able to flash the kernal thur recovery? You can still push it via fastboot. It not so much of an inconvenience that you would want to not have root and do tons of cool **** to your phone. Who cares if HTC knows you are unlocked? BFD!
Unlock your phone and enjoy it the way it was meant to be enjoyed except flashing radios and kernal via recovery.

If you have Asian version of HTC Amaze 4G - it's very good. Every single ROM is working on Asian version (I mean CID 44 phones).
This is the proper sequence for you to go:
Unlock Bootloader >> 4EXT Recovery >> SuperUser >> S-OFF >> SuperCID >> ICS Firmware >> any ROM/OTA
Have fun!

CID now 11111111

but no sound on speaker ?
1. Have you also flashed ICS firmware package after Super CID?

2. Then try Energy ROM which has EVERYTHING working though..

A friend of mine uses virgin mobile and just picked up the evo v 4g. i went and htcdev unlocked the phone, installed twrp and rooted no problem. what i need to know being all my phones are gsm and i dont wanna screw up his phone. ive read through a bunch of threads and do i need to the s-off wire trick? all he wants is to run a JB rom. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Im in the process of downloading the QADERSO v2 VM zip file now. ill post the bootloader info as soon as he calls me back but the phone is pure stock ICS out of the package last month. Also any rom suggestions that are compataple with vm? or will the sprint ones work as well?
Thanks again
In order to run jb roms I had to be s off and on hboot v1.5. S off is the tricky part.

I've used both of these roms and like them alot.
FYI neither of these support 3D. You have to stick to a Sense based rom like Harmonia for 3D to work.
Do they run on hboot 1.5? With s-on? Or am I going to have to s-off it later on today

These are both AOSP based ROMS so yes you will have to S-OFF for these.

No. You can just download Ubuntu and preview it temporarily while you do s-off.
You don't need to install Ubuntu just put an Ubuntu CD and so s off when it asks you to try out Ubuntu.
Guys give me and everyone else was break with all these threads. You don't have to ask the same question over and over.

In your case yes it is possible to flash the t-mobile GB rom while your s on but no you can't update it cuz your cid is different... like SuperAfnan said Ubuntu is not much of a trouble it's worth a try

Windows is little risky..

possible
yeah thats possible! I've done it with mine Amaze International version.
For this I was bootloader unlocked,rooted. I downloaded the rom, flashed the boot.img present in this downloaded rom, then wiped all data except sd card(using 4EXT Recovery), then I put the rom .zip file on my external sd card,using 4EXT recovery I installed this rom .zip file from ext_sd card and rebooted.
What I felt that there was not any deifference b/w the international and t mobile rom except that tmobile rom had those specific tmobile apps installed in it, which are practically useless for us because of not being on Tmobile network.
Tnx for ol the replies...ubuntu is the way then....guess revolutionary.io and moonshine.io doesnt support htc amaze

Custom ROM does not work
Hi All,
Could anyone send us any explanation what could cause that I JB S-OFF, Super-CID-ed, Unlocked Amaze set 1.93.2222 HBoot instead of the stock 1.93.0000 (Asian unbranded crap version I use). I went through all of steps to allow flash ICS Custom Roms to my device but after I finally had to do copy it to ext_sd and flash on recovery the result is that whatever ROM I want to install (CM 9, 10 any kind of release) it stucked on boot screen or I can reach the SIM unlock but after that my device frozen and has constant reboot.
I tried many various ROM-s (Android Revoluton HD for instance) but I cannot enjoy it.
After my last hope had to make my ruby work so I grabbed T-Mobile stock 2.3.4. GB and install it. It is working properly even I am allow to update it via OTA but It says that I am not using a proper stock rom and denied to update it.
What should I do or what am I doing wrong. I have not rooted my phone yet but truly is it necessary to get a working ICS?
Thanks
I guess you've skipped the upgrading your firmware part in other words flashing a RUU after s-off.. Reason

Hi everybody. I have an S-OFF EVITARE_UL Telus handset with CID 11111111. HBOOT is 1.40. It is an LTE handset. I am still on 4.1.1 JB with Sense 4+.
From what I understand, I can't flash a ROM that's made for an International HOX+.
AT&T rolled out 4.2.2 with Sense 5. Telus did not. My question is can I flash a ROM that's made for AT&T? If so, what is the procedure? Thanks.

You understand wrong then. Your device uses diffrent radio hardware to the international version and requires a diffrent kernel. There is nothing you can do to make any international rom compatible with your device. Sorry!
Although AFAIK you will have no issues flashing an AT&T rom...

Hi, you can flash sense 5 and android 4.2.2 based At&t roms to Telus device. in fact I use one, presently we have three roms. Elegancia 6.2 .. Blackout extreme ..and magiorom. These roms were based on system dump provided by lloir, the hboot is not updated and its safe to try these sense 5 roms.
make a backup of your present rom and try these...
don't even try to flash roms made for international version.
Will it require s-off and root ????
