Hey, can anyone recommend a good ROM for this device from experience? I have the Telus version of the HTC Amaze 4G if that matters.
I have it unlocked, I'm pretty sure I need to have S-OFF too, but haven't done that yet. Yes/no?
I'm using the recommended CWM recovery for the phone (5.0.2.6) updated by "ROM Manager" app.
Just looking for advice on a ROM that I can get the most out of the phone with a more updated OS (currently Telus Stock 4.0.3)
Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance!

I'm on Android Revolution HD 5.0
It's very close to stock but much better. The ROMs that are higher than ICS 4.03 are newer but they normally have some bugs. I've been on this for almost 2 years no problems.
And S-Off is not necessary. But I think you might need to change to 4ext recovery if not S-Off.

I was hoping someone could point me to a guide or information regarding obtaining s-off on hboot 1.30 on my new evo 3d. Tia for the help!

With hboot 1.30, you can use revolutionary. That's definitely what you should do.

I think you can use the revolutionary way of root read about it
Thanks for the input. I successfully rooted with revolutionary, installed cwm recovery, made a backup, and then flashed the latest twrp recovery (I believe that's what everyone is recommending I use). I was hoping someone would be kind enough to post some rom and kernel recommendations. I am looking for something with sense that is stable, working 4g, and working 3d features (I also think I read in some roms that 3d things were broken). I am not new to flashing or rooting (the 3d is the 5th phone I've rooted) and so far things seem similar to my og evo. Any help is appreciated. Once again, thanks for the help and recommendations!

Glad to help. I've been using Viper Rom for the past week or two, and it's super stable, and gets great battery life. Many people also speak highly of clean rom, mean rom, eternity, etc. Basically, there are a lot of Sense based ROMS out there to choose from. Any rom with Sense 3.0 should have all the features (4G, 3D) working. Good luck.
My vote is for Warm 2.3 as a super stable and fully functional ROM.
Partitioning SDcard
Thanks for the tips on roms? Any kernel recommendations? I wanted to overclock the device but didn't want to lose any features. Also, if someone could point me in the direction as to partitioning the sdcard that would be great. Can it be done in recovery or should it be done on a pc? What type of filesystems are recommended and what should I set sizes at? Thanks in advance for everyone's help with this. I pretty much know some ways to do this, I just need to know what is recommended for the 3d.
Hi all i know there is plenty of posts about this but im new to the Evo 3D, im going to be getting one off a friend, he says its suffering from SoD (sleep of death) im looking for a way to return it to stock ICS, i have never used FASTBOOT before but have had 2-3 other android devices that i have rooted and been installing custom roms ect on so know basics just looking around the Evo seems a bit more complicated, he says the device is s-off'd and has CWM Recovery installed but as i said i have no idea how to use the Evo yet so all help will be appreciated
again what i want to do is return the UK EVO 3D GSM to STOCK ICS
Thanks in advance
sorry for the bump but had to update, he says he did a data, cache and dalvik wipe and SoD issue has gone, its running GB (gingerbread) device has been S-OFF'd it has v1.49.1107 hboot installed no idea on what raido is installed. what steps need to be done to install official ICS and root it or can anyone recommend a good Sense-less (hate htc's Sense UI) ICS rom with root access
Run a stock ruu should do it
hit the thanks button uf i helped

So I made a major noob mistake and should have known better being as I am not a noob. Before flashing a custom rom (first) I did not activate phone and (second) I did not make a backup. I know what everyone is saying "stupid stupid stupid".
My question is - Is there a stock rom for this device that I am able to flash with (s-on) so I can activate this phone?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

I think any sense rom should give you the option to activate, like meanbean, viper, etc... All those mentioned have a kernel installer baked in for s-on, good luck!
PS. Make a backup of your current rom always!

lol I have made a backup of my current ROM. I am in the process of downloading SharkieROM which claims to be a "stock" rooted (slightly modded) ROM. I will try that first. But if it does not work then I will try meanbean or the like. Is not meanbean ICS? If so, will downgrading from JB to ICS cause any undesired affects?
Thank you for the quick response!

No meanbean is JB, it's on the android development thread, Mean Rom ICS was moved to the Original Android development thread because Mike introduced a bunch of kernel customizations, I thinks you can downgrade with no issues but somebody correct me if I'm wrong, I've never done it... Good Luck!

You can definitely activate from any of the Sense roms. I have done so myself.

HTC Evo 4G LTE
I did get my device activated, finally. Sharkie ROM did the trick. Thank you all for your responses.
Okay, so I am completely new to all of this.
Some of my specs are currently
Android version: 4.1.1
Software: MeanBean_3.90
HTC Sense version: 4+
s-ON
My question is... I want to upgrade to JellyBean ROMs/Mods
Can I change my android version without damaging my ability to relock my phone?
I mean. Can I still return my phone to factory (unroot same software etc) if I update my Android version?
Also I tried to return my phone to stock but I am just getting TWRP set up over and over... Do I just need to flash the factory software?
Or do I use the Build number as a guide for an exe file?
Also does anyone know about the "Operation Jelly Bean" ROM by the Anonymous team?
I flashed the ROM, I love the ROM but the touch panel DOES NOT work for me.
According to the specs I should be able to use it?
Anyone else with s-ON try to use it and have issues with the touch panel?
or does anyone have any insight?
You can do whatever you want and still be able to return your phone to factory stock, although gaining S-off will make this easier, since you can use the VipeRUU tool to get you back totally stock. The tool requires you to be S-off.
You can't use Operation Jelly Bean because you are on the 3.16 software version, which includes an upgraded touch panel driver so you can only use 3.16 ROM's or AOSP ROM's with the 3.4 kernel. Operation Jelly Bean is 3.15 based. You must also use TWRP 2.4+. You can get S-off and downgrade your touch panel driver to the previous version & run whatever ROM you want.

Oi, you're quite helpful and fast. I appreciate your patience, as well as your 'noob friendly' attitude.
I do have TWRP 2.6.3.0 so I am not worried about my TWRP system...
just everything else. Though I am getting more comfortable with playing with it. less panic.
No problem. Just glad to help.

I am attempting the 'FacePalm' method and I was wondering
Should I actually attempt another method, in your personal opinion, which is better for s-OFF?
(Attempted DirtyRacun but was unsure about the Linux download)
If you're Hboot is version 2.09 and your radio (baseband) ends in 1210, you need to use Moonshine.

I changed to a stock ROM the Radio ends in 0830?
Do I just need to find stock ROMs and find one that ends with 1210?
I have tried to run the distiller (read everything uninstalled HTC sync from windows Programs)
But my distiller fails.
If I run it on the Blues and Jazz ROM it fully flashes the SuperCID (120/120 Fastboot)
But it will fail at the adb flash (around 50/120)

Boot into the bootloader and list your full radio (baseband) version, not just the last 4 digits.
Also keep in mind that custom ROM's do not include firmware (radio, etc.). So flashing a ROM in and of itself will not change your firmware version. That's something you have to do separately from the ROM. The only thing that may change is your software version, depending on the ROM.

Radio- 1.13.11.0.45.0830
I don't think I have flashed any Firmware at all then.
You haven't. You're on the latest OTA. Moonshine might work but at this point nobody has tried it on the latest OTA so it's anybody's guess as to whether or not it will work.

Sure. You can use any ROM based on software version 3.16 or 3.17, and any AOSP ROM with the 3.4 kernel. You'll just have to flash the ROM with Flash Image GUI or fastboot commands depending on the ROM.

And does android version have affect on what works with it?
Or should everything work okay as long as the Software and Kernels are proper?

Right. On Sense ROM's make sure they're at least version 3.16. For AOSP make sure the kernel is 3.4.

Hello to anyone who is gracious enough to help me. I am currently trying to revert my HTC Evo 4G LTE back to any stock rom for the purpose of trying to use Straight Talk. After finding out that there's really no way of using Straight Talk with CM, I am now attempting to go back to any working stock rom. I have run into brickwall after brickwall. If there is anyone out there that can lead the way, please help me. Everytime I mess around with my phone, I don't know whether to grab a USB cable or a box of tissues from all the tears that are about to be had. Anyways. I appreciate anyones time on the matter. Thank you and remember to brush your teeth.

If you're S-off, you can simply flash a stock ROM like Captain Throwback's 3.17 base ROM (it's based off the most recent OTA update from Sprint). If you're not S-off you'll need to flash the kernel (boot.img) separately from the ROM itself. For more info on how to do that, hit the top link in my sig and scroll down to the section on S-on kernel flashing.
Here is a link to Captain Throwback's ROM:

You'll need to install the SuperSU app from the Play Store to have root access after flashing his ROM.
