So far I have tried every method iI can thank of rooting this phone and noe seem to work. I have done, SuperOneClick, revolutionary, unrevoke, rageagainstthemachine, gingerbreak z4root fr3vo and nothing has worked. Anyone know of any other programs to try get root
None of those that you mentioned work's with 2.3.4 Sense 3.0 , we're going to see if the bootloader's unlocked / locked first & i think it's locked it's not even letting me get into recovery mode it just show's a picture .
It is locked but you can unlock it using htcdev site

Give me a link to unlock my bootloader & i would be glad to create / help with root & check this out while your doing that .

create a account and just follow the instructions

It does not show that it is supported but it worked on my device
This will allow you to flash a custom recover (which we do not have yet) I beleive it does ot give true s-off (flasing radios and what not)

What do you mean ? I just want to unlock it , that way once we get root & recovery or once my bootloader's unlocked i could work on root & a ROM
after it is unlocked it Factory Data Resets the device. In other words just like you pulled it out of the box
When they track phone's they track the MIUI , they don't track the phone , only the MIUI which is on the phone .

Just wait. Revolutionary will unlock the bootloader as soon as phone is out. No point officially voiding the warranty when there will be an unofficial way.

I doubt that unlocking will void the warranty. The HTC warranty on the MyTouch 4G only covers physical problems, which are still covered no matter what ROM is installed. I suspect HTC has a pretty similar warranty on all their phones.
Hey, Seems like Videotron is lazy when it comes to updating their user to the latest OS.
My friend has this phone and since I know a lot when it comes to do simple things like flashing roms and kernel, he wanted me to help him to update his phone. Thing is, I can't get, for the love of Morgan Freeman (AKA god), to S-Off his Amaze 4G. So I'll try the alternative since he doesn't need anything fancy other than the regular stuff.
I know that I can flash manually the OTA for carriers that has it but I don't know if I should try a Telus, T-Mobile rom and so on.
So what can I do about that?
And something else too, the last time I updated from OTA, it was when I received my Nexus S so I don't know if it factory resets and I need to create some backup in case.
You will HAVE to s-off if you want to update via another carriers ICS rom file, it's not possible with s-on, check the pin hole on his amaze, you may have to take a sharp pin and dig inside of it a bit, there seems to be a plastic covering it at times. Try s-off again after that, use a a paper clip with some tape insulating it, it works really great compared to wires. S-offed an evo 3d on the very first try today using one.
Okay, cool. Thanks for tips I will try it out.

This part is still unanswered and as I am in the same situation I ask the same question
I don't think the phone carrier matters once s-off since we usually don't flash the radio but especially for OTA upgrades maybe you have to be superCID and/or use a carrier that uses the same frequencies, 1700/2100 in Videotron's case?
Are there any other crucial differences than the radio between one carrier and another? Do we absolutely need to go by the OTA of another carrier to get to ICS or is there a way to flash any ICS based ROM and fix it manually after? I searched that but I can't even find the question asked... If we can't, then why? What are the modified parts from stock GB to stock ICS on the same carrier?
Maybe should I start a new question thread... Does xda uses that one question per thread rule? Don't remember to have seen it in the rules.
Thanks in advance!

All amaze devices basically have the same band, all the carriers we have here use the same band, so the choice of software is upto you since they basically have the same options, the only exception being T-Mobile, they are the only carrier that add in their own apps and modify a few things about the firmware and thanks to the htc/apple issue they changed the app association as well, so if you want the pure software with everything stock HTC the way it would be on an international version, then the Telus option would be best for you.
Good for the carrier specific software. Or in this case the absence of specificity
One detail is that Videotron installs a single app it's called "Portail Videotron" for renting and stream movies over the 4G network, a good way to have users using an enormous amount of data. But as long as the radio that comes with the Telus ROM is the same this app wich I don't even use I really don't care.
Will start a new thread for the other questions. Or won't if you think it won't be useful.

Ok so my questions are basically already in my first post. It is not that I don't understand the procedure to upgrade to ICS by dl the OTA, rename it to PH85IMG.zip and let hboot do the rest, it is just that I would like to be free to go back and forth between GB and ICS as I have always did with other phones. I can't see wich part of the system can be modified only by the OTA and not manually.
Edit: one may find it useless, it is just that I dislike much to be dependent on the OTA's

Due to signatures and encryption and in the cases of the things we just don't wanna touch like the radio, it's risky to mess with things like the radio and since we don't have a PH85IMG for every carrier like we do for tmobile we have to depend on the OTA files, in order for you to switch between GB and ICS as you wish you will have to s-off, that's the only way. Once you're s-off and super cid, you can upgrade, downgrade, swap hboots, swap roms, try out other carrier roms, all without restrictions.
Ok I tried to flash ICS EnergyRom with s-off, now that I am supercid I try once again.

Make sure you update your device to ICS first before you flash a custom rom, certain background files like radio, hboot etc have to be the ICS version for it to work.
That is what I don't like... But just to make it clear, with ICS version of hboot radio etc both GB and ICS are supported while with GB version ICS is not?
For now I feel a bit lazy so I will use the usual way and will look back at this at some moment.
Thanks

The Videotron RUU is supposed to work. You have to be in the bootloader wich you can access by removing your battery and then vol-down + power, relocked (not in recovery). I don't know if it has to be stock CID, don't think so.

That RUU is GB, not ICS since nobody every pulled the ICS OTA file, I don't have an amaze anymore to pull it so if any of you are on GB, kindly pull the file for other users.
Updating hboot only
How can I update only the hboot? And would an hboot from a different Canadian carrier still work? e.g. hboot from Telus and rom from Wind Mobile...
Thanks in advance...
So I bought a used Rezzy and it was shipped to me with the custom ROM on it. I want to relock and run the global RUU. I have the unlock token from my original phone but not one for this "new" phone. Do I have to be relocked to get one or can I get a token while the phone is unlocked? If I need to be relocked, can I run it before running the RUU?
I just don't want to get stuck on the RUU unable to get the unlock token as I've read several posts where the site was down when people wanted a token.
Global question: Once we have the global option on the phone, do we need to purchase a SIM at the location we travel to to use it? Not sure exactly how this global thing works.
TIA
I see no problem at least attempting to get the unlocktoken with an unlocked boot loader, it just searches for the lines of text, nothings being flashed or anything like that.. if it doesn't work you'll have to lock your bootloader and ten try again.. I personally havent had anybody ever have a problem getting it.. as for the ruu you need to be relocked to run it if your still s-on..

Yeah, I didn't want to just try it without knowing just in case. Perhaps I will, or I'll just back everything up and run the damn RUU and get it over with! Yeah, I've been through all the unlocking, relocking, RUUing etc. in the past. That's why I was asking about the unlock token.
So, I buy a SIM when I get to another country so I can use a carrier there? Where do the minutes and data come from? Do you buy a prepaid thing for that country? I don't have any immediate plans to travel but I did have a dream that I was in France last night so....
Hi all,
I just downloaded an OTA update but was not able to install it as I'm rooted with custom recovery. I've read that I can restore by running the correct RUU but I cannot find one for my region (HK CHT, 1.14.708.16). Is there another way to get the stock recovery and be able to do OTA updates?

I flashed it and it reset my internal storage!
After flashing it I went into recovery to just check if TWRP was installed or not, and it went into recovery. I had to hold down the power to shut it off. It rebooted back into recover, I repeated to hold down the buttons and now I lost everything. Mind you I am using a stock rom, I just flashed TWRP so I could root the device. Could someone else verify this?
Edit: Supersu was still installed, This is a better situation however than bricking the phone due to not charging.
Thanks.
Stop showing people my link to a recovery when they are talking about OTA updates as to my knowledge AT&T has not released one which means they are not using the AT&T branded phone. This advice is dangerous, may break their phone. There are two different hardware versions of the phone as well as the carrier differences. You are not helping by doing this.
If flashing the recovery reset your data you did something wrong. That should not happen and has not happen the 12 times I have flashed it. Are you positive you are on the AT&T hardware version and did not hit factory reset while in hboot?

I replied in the other thread. IT IS possible I inadvertently hit factory reset while in Hboot as I had some trouble with it hanging in recovery (now that I think about it I may have held the vol down to long and then hit the power button without even realizing it). If this is the case then please disregard. And YES I am NOT using an int'l hox+ , and I have been flashing android devices (mostly Samsung) since the Magic. I have just not owned an HTC device in a long time so I am re-learning fastboot etc... Thanks for the factory recovery

If you have an international device any recovery from any international RUU will work on your device. Try extracting the recovery.img from a RUU rom.zip. or check dev section, im sure mike posted a stock recovery with his CWM. Finally check if the AIO root toolkit contains a stock recovery

I have a question, if I download ARHD's deodexed version of the stock HTC One, will I be able to do OTA updates that HTC releases or not?
No. And every time I answer this question I wonder why that matters. As soon as there's a new ota someone builds a stock rooted rom you can flash.

thank you gunnyman. one more question, what are the advantages and disadvantages of ARHD vs ARHD deodexed version? I'm a noob and I am just trying to learn these stuff
Odexed roms are usually slightly faster but can't be easily themed. On the One the difference in speed is not noticeable. IMHO

Gunnyman what if I just unlock the bootloader and did not touch anything else like rooting and flashing a custom recovery in such status will my machine be able to get OTA updates then?
Or once bootloader unlocked it changes the OTA allowance?
No I don't think so. Ota requires stock in every way.

I'm sure there are a lot of people like me who aren't used to this locked bootloader thing. In the past three years all I needed to do to root my phone is to run Superoneclick or some similar toolkit, and I was done. OTA update was never a problem, and if I did lose root after an update (sometimes it sticks), I just ran the toolkit again, or maybe I could try keeping it with rootkeeper beforehand. No problem. I rarely bothered with custom ROMs. Sometimes I flashed custom recovery, mostly to make a nandroid backup, but most of the time I ran stock + rooted without any other modifications.
As it turns out, with the HTC One I need to change this type of mindset, as rooting involves unlocking the bootloader *and* flashing custom recovery, which means I wouldn't be able to get OTA update right away.
