First of all i want to tell you that i have unbranded version of HTC Amaze Named "HTC Ruby" under model number. I'm currently using 2.3.4 on it and whenever i check for updates it says "Your phone is up to date, there are no updates available for your phone"
I want ics on my phone! I've rooted my phone, unlocked the bootloader then downloaded the official ICS Update for Ruby and renamed it to PH85IMG.zip. partitioned my sd card and placed the PH85IMG.zip in directory. Now when i boot into bootloader it checks PH85IMG.zip then after 2-3 minutes i get the message under HBOOT "Model ID incorrect, Update fail press Power to reboot"..
i've also tried the same thing with my bootloader locked still doesn't work.. i've read many threads that says your phone must be s-off to apply update successfully but some of the users updated this phone with s-on! my ruby is currently s-on.. Please Help

Hi Guys i have Htc Sensation 4G TMo US, Android 2.3.4 which i succesfully S-off, Rooted and also installed Clockwordmod 5.0.08 if i remember correctly (following a thread here at xda). The thing is that i clicked on:
Setting---about phone---htc software update---check now and a window poped up saying that theres a software update to ICS 4.0.3 to click ok to download it and install it. Of course since.im rooted i click NO.
So my questions are:
1- can i download.and install the update directly to my phone as it is right now; S-off and rooted? Meaning is everything gonna go smooth or do i have to Undo the root and s-off?
2- can i retain root if i update the software to 4.0.3?
3- can i remain s-off if i update to 4.0.3?
4- if i have to Undo the s-off and root in order to update, can i s-off and root again after the update to 4.0.3?
Hope anyone can have answer to my questions. Cause i really wanna update to get the new features of ICS.
Thanks in advanced
Have a nice day

No if you try and update your phone while it is rooted it will get stuck and loop on the logo you need too un root it and update it too 4.0.3 there is no official way too root the official ics update just yet it will turn so off back on and change your hboot too 127
So basically i have to UNROOT it, which means removing the SUPERUSER app, and then i can updated it trouble free!!???
Cause if i read right you say that the updating wil turn my S-OFF into S-ON, so im assuming that if i Unroot and then proceed to update to 4.0.3, the change from S-off to S-on will be automatically
Done by the.updating process!??
Ok question: --since.right now im s-off wont that mess up the updating process when it come to the bootup time and it sees/detects that im s-off?
--Wont that be a reason for it to start looping on the logo as you said??
Thanks in advanced and for your response.bro i really wanna try ICS
Thanks.bro

You can download it and not install it which is what i did, it gets saved to your sd card and you can copy it to you computer.
Wait what?
You can do that?
I thoughr that as soon as i pressed the OK it was gonna proceed to download and install it, cause the pop actually asks me if i want to install it, after it tells me the.changes in the new software update
Can you explain

hello ppl,
Wanted to unlock the bootloader from the htc dev website, i download the RRU and try and install. everything works fine but at a particular step it says i have not got the latest version 3.x.x.xx. is there a way around this? any help much appretiated. thanks
Is the RUU they provide properly installed? This is priority no1 for the rest to work. Have htcSync installed. Follow each step carefully and wirh care then it should work.
HTC Legend
S-on, bootloader unlocked (htcdev)
AOKP ICS 4.04
dude, everything is setup fine but during the RUU installation, at the last step there is a version mismatch error and it asks for an upgraded RUU. my question is is this because i have a custom rom istalled.
If you are using the ruu hboot update from htcdev then yes that's why you got error.
If your rooted and custom rom use blay0s method, most who have done it say it works.

use blay0's method.
for step 3 you can to go task manager processes, right click on ARUWizard > open file location.
ROM.zip will be in that folder. then continue from step 4.
i've attached the ROM.zip I copied out of there (renamed to LEGEIMG.zip). This is from the Vodafone AU RUU from the htcdev.com/bootloader/ruu-downloads page, but I think they are all the same.
rom.zip for vodafone UK
could someone please upload the rom.zip for vodaphone uk. i am unable to locate it on my system when i run the rru update.

I read I had to update the ROM before I could root. I have tried so many things but nothing seems to be working.
It seems because it is a Vodafone Legend.
Any help is welcome so I can root my Legend.

Hey Guys,
So I was previously running BulletProof 2.5 ROM and when I heard about the official release I immediately attempted to upgrade it.
I performed the following steps:
1)Relocked phone
2)Flashed the Telus RUU(while phone was connected to computer using the exe file)
*also attempted using the OTA.zip file after renaming it to PH85IMG after RUU flash
3)Unlocked bootloader
4)Flashed 4Ext
5)Flashed SU package
Once I rebooted phone and checked phone info it said I had
v2.3.4
Sense 3.0
Soft 1.41.661.3
Clearly this is the stock OS. Whenever I try to do the PH85IMG the phone freezes at HTC boot screen. I cannot figure this out. I was wondering if it is possible (and if it would work), if someone could create a backup of the OS after the ICS update that I could restore from.
I would really like to get ICS and any help would be appreciated
P.s. I am S-ON.
Thank you
Diogo
Didn't really search much did you? You need to relock bootloader again, flash ruu. Then run update before unlocking again.
Update has been out for a few months now....

I know it has, but I was in portugal and then didnt have time to do it. And yes i did search, I have gone through more threads and attempts then I can count, and in my first post I stated that I relocked phone. It still didn't work.
Relock.
Flash Telus RUU
Place the OTA on your SD card and name it as update.zip.
Boot into STOCK recovery. Not 4EXT or anything,
Press apply update.zip.
Done.

Did you read this thread
Although the title said S-Off but don't worry, just read through it.
My experiences from performing S-Off and flashing RUU with this phone that, offenly I have to re-do / re-flash twice, even three times. Somehow the Amaze is kinda stubborn and it doesn't wanted to obey your command on first order.
Good luck
I tried reflashing multiple times, everytime I go into bootloader I get:
HTC phone with green arrown pointing down, with 2 circular green arrows around it.
Becomes an HTC Phone with the red triangle and exclamation mark in it.
Then the following text appears "E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command"
The recovery menu appears and I select "Apply update from sdcard"
and i always get
Invalid Operation
success rebooting by reason"oem-00

I am using the OTA from my phone. That was the first thing I tried when the one linked in the forum didn't work
Thank you everyone for your help. I got it to work...not sure what happened differently, but i kept repeating the processes and on the millionth attempt it worked lol.
Hello, I desperately would like to see how to put my HTC Amaze back to stock. A couple of months ago I tried putting it back to stock because the energy rom kept rebooting on me and draining my battery life randomly. Anyways I was not successful and so I just kept the rom and the rebooting problems stopped anyways. Now, its happening again and I would really love for some one to help me get it back to stock so I can see if it improves and maybe get the thing S-OFF later. I am with Wind mobile.
Any help is greatly appreciated,
A frustrated amaze user.

And now when in the boot screen it cannot find my file I then tried another RUU but this time is used the exe wind one but that one failed as well and came up as an error saying the hboot version is older then what im flashing or something?
So I am stuck at this point. Do you know how to get around this?

Yeah it was connected via usb. I got somewhere, now but im am hoping you can tell me what i need to do now. I followed the second post here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2167596 and now I have GB rom on my phone running unlocked. What do I need to do from here so I can S-off and super CID? PS I tried doing an OTA update from the phone and it wont work.
Looking into the S-off guide it says i must be on a stock RUU. is the one i got install a stock RUU. Also my hboot version is 1.93.0002 (Mar 15 2012) which is ice cream sandwich according to the Unlimited.IO site, but the RUU im on is definitely gingerbread. What can I do about this?

well choice is yours your android version says GB hboot says ICS :/ i say try the GB s-off tool but do at your own risk...
well S-Off worked so thats good haha. Now i am trying to super CID. However, when uploading the proper hboot for doing so it wont let me because of the CID.
Ignore that last post. I figured it out so all is good. Now here is another question, should i flash CM10.1 or your rom that viper one? How would I go about flashing a rom. I remembered before you would just go into recovery and then format all execpt sd card and then install from zip. I tried that with the CM10.1 rom and when I rebooted it did not work.
went ahead and tried installing the Viper rom and after i reboot (when it said all was good) it show a black screen with green arrows. And its stuck on that. I do not know what to do now. Because I should have everything open. Was I supposed to flash something after doing the S-OFF?
This is what I am getting stuck on. I tried another rom too, same thing. I can boot into 4ext. But cant get past this on boot up.

Weird, they pulled it from the main news page again. I wish I knew why, I downloaded and updated from that RUU last night. No issues so far, it and it resolved some serious problems I'd been left with after something went wrong with the OTA update.
