While HTC Amaze owners just got their hands on a perm S-Off tool a few days ago there is already something else to get excited about. The Official Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update was leaked on XDA and can already be flashed if your interested. Keep in mind before flashing to the leaked Official ICS update on your Amaze 4G that its not yet rooted. This being said we will go ahead and assume there will be a root for the build very shortly.
We haven’t heard when the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update Officially push to T-Mobile HTC Amaze 4G owners although with a fully functional build already available we will go ahead and say very soon.
NOTE: Using this leak to install Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich on your HTC Amaze does not require root or S-Off as its an Official update file. Follow the instructions below to update.
Instructions to Install Official ICS ROM on the HTC Amaze 4G:
- Rename download to PH85IMG

- Unplug usb cable, remove battery
- Put battery back in

is the file uploaded yet?
not yet I am sorry … I am stuck at a coffee shop for another hour and if not done by then I will finish it when I get home so I can promise that the file will be up by 6pm EST at the latest. I am ready to shoot myself with the internet speeds at this place.
k thanks for the info.
I am totally new at this sort of thing. IF I follow the instructions, will this in any way void the warranty on my phone? I don’t want a $550 paper weight if this thing gets bricked. Have you found any issues as of yet?
Thank you!
Our experience was flawless although we cannot guarantee anything. You can hold out for others experience if your worried about your phone although being an Official ROM update it should have no effect on your warranty. As stated the download link above will be working by 6pm EST at the latest but could be sooner.
AWESOME! Now, I DO have a copy of the original file from XDA. Is yours the same thing? Or should I just wait til yours has uploaded?

how long it tack time to downlad.now we can downlod or not yet?
The file is now up!!
I was at a coffee shop and the speed was horrible and then they lost power so I came home and got it up in 10 minutes lol.
Ok, so I think I am very slow. I copied it to the SDcard booted into the bootloader and couldn’t see any upgrade option. All I saw was fastboot, Factory reset… etc and the last option was CRC image. I selected that and it gave me about four lines and then said, press power button to go back.
What did I do wrong?
Sweeeettt. Took to the third try. I never rooted or anything prior, just followed the directions. It did a fresh install. All my apps were deleted but all the damn tmo crap apps I don’t want still remain. Wicked update, Sense 3.6 and android 4.0.3. Totally worth the update, everything works so far and the new Gmail rocks!!!
Worked for me when I changed the file name to PH85IMG ( Not PH85IMG.zip) and then followed the rest of the instructions…
