Lo.
I've found a lot of threads on this topic - the problem is they don't explain in detail (probably because everyone knows what they're doing, I'm not too into the whole custom thing).
Basically, I don't know where to start.
I'm running AOKP with the BLADE kernel, and although AOKP is lovely I encounter too many bugs. I'd like to revert to stock, but still be rooted of course.
Is there a detailed guide for this, that I've missed? I've bought my phone in Europe, so I suppose it's just the international version.
If anyone can point me in the right direction here, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thank you.

Hi, you can either install the stock rom (ruu) or pick a rom that is based in the stock rom but without some things that makes battery life longer. i know you want to keep the root so i guess the second option would suits you best. although, i think flashing the stock rom and rooting again is kinda better, you know because of the kernel thing, well is your call mate. salute

I would recommend this. It's pretty much stock, but with optimizations and tweaks.
The RUU thing is way more difficult
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987885
You can do a RUU and then root your phone with Hasoon's Toolkit.
For do a RUU, simpy relock your bootloader and run the "RUU.exe".
For root, follow the instructions in the toolkit thread.
Thanks and sorry for the late reply, apparently the app dpesn't notify me. What about the kernel I'm using?
And do I need to unroot my phone? I want to keep it rooted..
I like this rom but it's madly unstable unfortunately.

You can always use hasoon's tool to re-root the phone.
More difficult how? One person said it's simply one exe.
And from your experience, how stable is this rom. I'm getting a bit sick of camera, text, wifi crashes.

Here are the steps:
1. Re lock bootloader using toolkit.
2. Flash RUU
3. Unlock bootloader.
4. Root again.

Thank you, but I needed a stable rom before my holidays so I just took a chance on Android Revolution HD and whilst its working perfectly and Ive had absolutely no problems, I miss the simplicity and customization of AOKP.
Thank you all for replying though, hopefully it'll help someone out there.

First do THIS
Then install THIS and install su & superuser from the developer menu in Amon Ra.
From there you'll be rooted. Also, read the developer section, especially the stickies as there are plenty of great guides to get you going, but those two that I linked are the basics of getting it unlocked and perm rooted. From there you'll be able to flash a new ROM in recovery.
Thanks i will try as soon as I get home and let you know how it goes!

Using Amon Ra, I flashed directly from my phone. Its way easy. Just take your time and you'll get it.
i just got my amaze yesterday, i installed the official ics OTA this morning, and now i want to root it. Does the one click root program work for the Amaze while it is on stock ics or would i have to downgrade?
I'm not sure, Look for hasoons all in one tool in the dev section. Has recoveries root and another one specifically for s off. You will find you will use his tool if you flash constantly
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
Hasoons tool wouldnt work for me when i updated to the WIND ICS OTA, i had to find the sudo package and install it via recovery. it did work for me in gingerbread.. just a heads up..
No one click. Read the stickies... Learn about unlocking bootloaders, 4 ext recovery, flashing superuser in recovery, and supercid. It's all rather simple. PLENTY of threads about it.

Were you previously running gingerbread? If so, you'd need to flash the latest T-Mobile ICS RUU before attempting to install any ICS-Based ROMs
A tool has been made that will flash the latest T-Mobile ICS RUU, and it can be found here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762936
Please read through the instructions carefully.
After flashing the RUU with the tool, you should now be able to flash ICS roms without issues/errors.

Before I ran It my phone was loading the boot menu only and stopped loading recovery, I assumed that's what you call bricked, if not what is it?

Lol no comments, it doesn't matter anyways.
ive got the new amaze 4g running the ics and im thinking about rooting it using the all in kit, i just have a few questions:
whats a kernel and how do i get one to put in the all in one kit? for some reason it just says to put your own kernel in there
and how do i install a custom ROM? im new to this stuff so take it easy on me lol
Try reading the Amaze bible. It should answer all of your questions. If you still have any doubts, come back and post specific questions Take some chances. This phone is virtually unbrickable

Oh okay thanks. Did you root yours using the same tool?
I rooted mine before hasoon's tool came out. Did it the "hard" way. And even then it wasn't that difficult. This is also my first android phone. Trust me, after you learn to root and flash, everything will make a lot more sense.

Well a custom Rom has all the above n some u might just need to flash root on recovery

Hasoons tool is as noob proof as it can get. unlock,flash recovery, root and enjoy the ROM goodness! S-Off might look intimidating if u delve into it.
It is very simple as long as u follow the directions.

Thanks for the feedback ! You guys are making me less nervous about doing it already lol. I'm going to do some more reading up on the whole process and then hopefully give it a try tonight. I'll let you know how it goes!
I have done some research as to how I would go about rooting this phone but I'm a little confused to say the least. Let me first say that I am on a mac and the first phone I rooted was Inspire. This was also the last phone I rooted because of how complicated it was. My main question is does unlocking the bootloader mean that the phone is rooted and I can just install a rom? If so how would I install a rom after unlocking the bootloader? Is there anything else I should be doing? As I said I'm very unsure how to go about this so any information is appreciated. Thanks.
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda app-developers app
No. All unlocking the bootloader does is remove security protection on certain partitions. After you unlock the bootloader, you need to flash a custom recovery from fastboot. Once you have a custom recovery, you can use it to either flash a rooted update.zip or a rooted custom rom.

As a person who bricked allot of phones learning, if you don't you don't understand how the process works or understand how to do it, I would leave your phone alone. The benefits you gain from rooting wouldn't benefit you much. If you skip a step or do something wrong you will end up with a nice paper weight. Not trying to discourage you, it is your phone after all.

It is really quite difficult to brick an HTC phone that doesn't have S-OFF. As long as the bootloader is there, there is always a path to restore the phone's functionality.

I'm hoping to find a step by step guide to walk me through exactly how I would go about this. For example I know I have to flash a rom but what rom should I be flashing? Now I know this is a matter of option but I guess I'm asking what has the least amount of bugs, best stability/battery life, etc. I know you need a kernel but is that something that gets installed when I flash a rom or does that need to be done separately. The main reason for doing this is customization, battery life and actually getting updates the os. Again any input is appreciated.

Maybe there is a tutorial in android dev. I'm not sure tho. The which rom is the best question is kinda frowned on here, i've seen mods close threads for it. It's just asking to start a flame war.
The kernel is also known as the boot.img. you will find it inside the rom.zip for any custom rom. Untill we have S-Off it cannot be flashed with the rest of the rom in recovery. You need to extract it and flash it from fastboot using the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img".

I apologize I wasn't trying to start anything. I just really don't have any idea as to which rom would suit my needs best so I was just looking for advice/opinions from people who are more knowledgeable then me.
Now you said I would need to extract the kernel, is the kernel in a zip file with the rom that after extracted I would both flash separately? I believe fastboot is the screen with the solid black background and the yellow text with options is that correct? "fastboot flash boot boot.img" is that a option I would select or is that a command I need enter? Sorry for all of the questions I just want to be clear on exactly what I need to do as I don't want to make my phone unusable.
I've been having interest issues so the only access I have is my phone. Hopefully it will be fixed in the next couple of days so I can check out the development section for a tutorial on rooting.
Again thanks everyone for the help so far.
