I am on stock as can be with Android 4.1.1 and would like to update to 4.4.4 if possible or something newer and I would mind having a custom ROM or something stock. I haven't done any custom ROM's in a while, so don't know a few things around that like whether you can install. update apps as normal out of Google play store and Amazon app store.
Anyways, any thoughts on my best choice of process. I think my tablet is already rooted or at least was rooted at one point in the past, I didn't custom anything back when it was rooted. I did findthis thread, but since I can't post in that thread yet, I figured I would start here.

You better take a close look at the zip file.
Within the file is a zip file called firmware.zip.
Within that file updates our recovery and hboot (along with a couple others).
HTC might be trying to take away our root with this. I'm going to wait.
This will update us to 1.90.0008 for our hboot.

In order to install this you would have to re-lock your bootloader, go back to stock (with stock recovery), move this file to /sdcard2/download directory, boot back to hboot and then to recovery. That should work. Then just hope you can root unlock your bootloader again through htcdev so you can get root again.
EDIT: At first glance this will do the following:
Update our hboot, recovery, kernel, mdm9k partition, mdmrcdata partition, pg2fs_spcustom partition, rcdata partition (all from the firmware.zip file), add or change two files to our /system/etc directory, add or change /system/customize/resource directory, add the music2 app and it looks like it changes some 25 drivers (firmware directory).

So I got bored of waiting for Wind's OTA ICS update and them telling everyone "you get it when we get it" and i sent a ticket into HTC.. got this as the responce today.
I know how important it is to have the latest software available on your Amaze. I’ll be glad to help you. ICS updates for the Amaze are expected to release between June and July this year. Our goal is to give every customer the best possible experience on every phone. Every HTC phone is a combination of a unique HTC hardware and software experience and a core operating system, and thus, it can take some time for updates to be crafted and made available, as we want to make sure it will run as best as possible when released.
If you have any other questions or concerns, feel free to let me know. Thanks for being an HTC customer and taking the time to contact us.

---------- Post added at 08:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:00 AM ----------
Looks like it cleaned itself out of /Download/ - so I'm guessing anyone who hasn't done it yet, to get it BEFORE they start installing it. Otherwise it'll be gone.
For some reason when I try to check for updates - it just gets stuck and only shows the message checking.... but nothing happens.
Is this because I am rooted and/or have my bootloader unlocked? Or is it because I have CWM as my recovery?
I really hope someone can provide the OTA files so I can try and update through recovery.
Please someone save the file before updating and share!
looks like its 4.0.3...
anyone care to spew out the build #'s etc and versions of everything else?

You need to relock the bootloader and flash stock recovery before you can proceed.
Coworker re downloaded it from his download link in his task bar that was still there after his update..

Added to my dropbox, thanks mate.
thanks to violated - we now have the zip file.
sorry - a bunch of noob questions:
Do I still have to go to stock recovery and relock bootloader to use the zip file?
If not - do I just copy the zip file to the sd card and rename it to update.zip and install it from CWM recovery?
A walkthrough would be greatly appreciated! I don't want to brick my phone!
Lastly - if I want to keep all of my apps/settings - should I do a backup and then apply the update - then reload the backup?
Thanks in advance!

Nice.. gonna update my ROM with this stuff Thanks for posting those links guys.
hi
i have just got this phone
android : 4.0.4
Sense : 4.1
Software Version : 2.13.651.1.710RD
SDK API : 4.24
baseband : 1.12.11.0809
build : 2.13.651.1.CL99866
kernel : 3.0.8-01680-gb6402b4
and the immediate thing i noticed is how much low usable memory it has
so clearly i wanna install custom roms on this phone
but regAWMOD method isnt working at all , never goes beyond first step.
OR
i can live with just rooting and completely debloating the stock romn as much as possible.
Plz consider me a total noob as i am by and large from samsung ;P so fastboot , bootloaders and stuff is uknown to me
so now i want to either debloat the stock rom or root it with some simple method and may be unlock the bootloader as well, on my own tried the search button but stuff seemed pretty confusing to me as this is my First HTC
any help would be appreciated.
thanks

You are very welcome my friend just edit your first post with your guide
is the guide coming soon for this ? my girl just got a replacement device and i 2 am trying to get rooted and on a custom rom !!
Apparently Voodoo OTA doesn't keep root now with the official JB update?
(I've been using my Nexus7 for a while hence why I am just now coming back to my TF201)
Now I guess it's time to unlock /re-root and flash a custom ROM.
So before I continue on with any unlocking / rooting, I want to make sure I have the correct file (http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/tf2...1.1-tf201.blob) for my device so I don't brick it.
My Build number on my device is JR030c.US_epad-10.4.2.18-20121122
Is the above TWRP file the correct image for my build#?
Thanks all.

I can tell you tho that you are on the Jellybean Bootloader so get this http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/tf201/openrecovery-twrp-2.4.1.0-tf201-JB.blob
So the TWRP build number doesn't have to match the build number of my device?
I think that is where I was getting confused..... The build number of the TWRP is just the "version number" of the TWRP file?

You should be fine..
When you go into fastboot mode it will freeze on the prime screen. That is normal.
You will probably have to install universal naked drivers from the Dev section then in device manager if you have an unknown device before continuing.
I've successfully installed TWRP.
I had no freezing issues and the driver got installed by windows update (of all things?)
Running a backup now in TWRP and placing it on SDCard before I go any further.
Again, huge thanks.

Also note it says to bump your question once in 24 hours. There are not that many developer editions out there that someone is sitting here waiting for your request.
I have a stock Dev edition ATM (no root or recovery) but can access ADB if I can help. I am also interested in finding out how to get a stock recovery package for the Development Edition.

Update
Update: I have some good news and some bad news (mostly bad)
Good News: I have unlocked the bootloader
Bad News: the unlock is not permanent(?) but I might be able to fix that, just need some the run the following comands in terminal emulator and give me the files that were made:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22 of=/sdcard/boot.img
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p23 of=/sdcard/recovery.img
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p32 of=/sdcard/devlog.img
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p29 of=/sdcard/system.img
If anycone can run these (on stock w/o recovery that would be great!
I'm going to try to help. I have a stock DEV edition, non-rooted. It has been 3 years since I messed with ADB, so I will probably need some hand holding

You don't need a computer it's fairly simple just download terminal emulator from the play store and run the commands the output files will be on the root of the internal storage so if you could just upload those that would be great
Thanks. I get permission denied trying to copy /dev/block/mmcblk0p22
Do I need to be rooted?

K. I also got ADB running. Now what would be the best way to root this. I assume you don't want me to use a custom recovery to get there.
Keep us updated!!!!

follow the instructions on this thread and help the op author out ASAP PLEASE!!
EDIT* darn it, i forgot yours is a dev phone. so root may be different..... sorry. i was just so excited about this news.
Yep. That's for an ME7. My dev phone is OYUAMDK. As far as I understand, the MDK root methods wipe the recovery or the kernel, depending on the method. I think the OP is asking for both to be intact so he can get copies. I'm not rooting until I hear from the OP.
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP THIS MAN, LET'S GET THIS BABY UNLOCKEd!!
