Oh mildly unrelated here but just for an fyi as Im not a member at scott's site. You can flash ruu zips easily from fastboot. No need to copy PXXXIMG.zip to sdcard when you can do it from fastboot. Ive been using this for years but seems most dont know it exists. Below are the exact commands that using an RUU.exe does automatically for you.

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip NameOfZip.zip
[HTC Rezound] xMoKax:
Ok, so I opened terminal, and typed in

cd desktop (since I drag and dropped the download on my desktop)

I typed in the stuff that you wrote, but it didn't work.

Do I need to put any forward slashes or dots anywhere in the command?

EDIT: So I typed in:

./fastboot flash recovery recovery-ra-vigor-3.15-gnm.img

And it said:

sending 'recovery' (7078 KB)...

OKAY [ 1.389s]

writing 'recovery'...

OKAY [ 2.294s]

finished. total time: 3.682s

Ok, so it worked, right?

Now what? Do I just power down my phone, or what?
[HTC Rezound] drellisdee:
If fastboot binary(mac version) and recovery.img are not in current directory or in path you willl need to supply full path to then in terminal.

[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Either type ./fastboot reboot

Or pull battery and turn on like normal
[HTC Rezound] spitzaf:
Now that you have Amon Ra installed, reboot to recovery (do you know how to do this?) and do the normal backup/wipe/flash for a ROM install (do you know these steps?).

If you need steps for these, let us know.
[HTC Rezound] xMoKax:
I don't know any of these steps.

After the Amon Ra Installed, I just use the volume rocker to power down my phone, and I just turned it back on.

Am I supposed to reboot it now?

I want to install a ROM, but I'm having such a hard time with it.

I've been an iPhone user for years, and I switched to Android, I love it. I've done the Unlock Bootloader, and I just did the Amon Ra Recovery. I'm so close to getting the ROM, and any help would be amazing!

I also already downloaded Titanium Backup, BusyBox, BusyBox Install, and SuperUser.

P.s. I would thank you all today, but I reached my limit of 8 thanks a day. I will thank you all tomorrow. :)

Can someone update the OP with the links to 3.15? It took me almost 30 minutes to go through this thread and find 3.15 everyone was talking about. It's on page 43.
[HTC Rezound] punman:
The first part should be figuring out which ROM you want to install. Some of them have different firmware requirements. So, if you don't want to spend a lot of time figuring out why something isn't working (or asking on the forums) you might want to get some more detailed specifications of what you're looking for.
[HTC Rezound] spitzaf:
Sent you a PM with detailed instructions. Let me know if you didn't get it.
[HTC Rezound] 300k:
I just rooted my Rezound and install the Amon Ra recovery. However, when I'm in the recovery and I enter the command to wipe the data, it just sits there saying 'wiping data, press any key to abort'. However, it doesn't seem to be doing anything. It just sits there until i press a key. I said to myself 'I leave it for a little bit because I usually us CWM, and this is the first time I'm using Amon." I leave it and half an hour later it's still showing the same thing. Any ideas why?

Thanks in advance for your help and sorry if this is a repost, but I don't recall seeing it anywhere. :)
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
i would re flash amon ra or try to re-download it
[HTC Rezound] 1heffer:
Doesn't it actually say "press power to confirm, any other key to abort"?

You have to press power again.
[HTC Rezound] djh816:
thank you!
[HTC Rezound] phyba:
I have tried to search for this problem I have but I guess I'm not looking for the right words lol. After I updated my firmware, amon can see my external card fine but can't locate my internal storage. Should I just reflash amon recovery? Or is this a known problem with the new firmware?
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Known issue with old recovery and new firmware make sure you flash 3.15
[HTC Rezound] phyba:
Thanks man. I thought I had the latest recovery, I don't see 3.15? I been flashing the old one lol
[HTC Rezound] isdnmatt:
Check page 43 of this thread. I've been asking for them to add it to the OP.
[HTC Rezound] ericsignals:
Version 3.15 or a link to it should be added to the op. Seems there's always someone looking for it.
[HTC Rezound] dlsolo:
It took me all of 3 minutes to download and flash (via fastboot) this recovery. First impressions, I'm not going back to CWM Touch.

Can't believe I was riding the CWM bus for this long.

What a great recovery!
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
I totally agree!

Why is it that Amon Ra recovery only seems to exist on HTC Devices? Does anybody know the answer for that? I would love to get a recovery this comprehensive and awesome on my tf101!
[HTC Rezound] drellisdee:
Not true at all. Done it for my acer iconia, 10+ lg models, casio commando, pantech breakout as well.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Can you get it to run on a Rockchip 29xx device? That would be amazing.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
Good to know. I guess I have just never personally seen Amon Ra on anything besides HTC hardware.

What knowledge do I have to posses if to attempt to make an Amon Ra recovery like this one for another device?
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
well the guy who wrote Amon Ra, from my rememberance only really writes recoveries for HTC devices and doesn't support anything else. So it has to be ported to work on anything else. If no one ports it, it wont exist.
[HTC Rezound] SHIDOOBY:
I'm kind of a newb when it comes to flashing things... I've been on the CWM for too long. Can anyone give me a simple instruction on how to install Amon-RA? .. I'm tired of the battery/charging issues with CWM

I am stuck right here... any help?

[HTC Rezound] PhantomApollyon:
Your device is plugged in and in fastboot mode when you're doing this and says "fastboot USB" right? If it's not then that's your issue.
[HTC Rezound] HVAC Wars:
I am also having the issue with flashing from the internal SD. I'm on the new firmware with 3.15
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
Since we have s-off backups are not working anymore on 3.15

[HTC Rezound] LakerStar25:
Mine are working perfectly try reflashing amon ra

Sent from my ICS Rezound
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
Same problem. Tried going back to 3.14 same issue, went back to 3.15 which worked before S-Off and same issue.

Can't do a nandroid backup, just says Oops something is wrong.

Interesting that recovery can see contents of both internal and external SD cards.

**Updated To Include More Info**

Was never on Leaked RUU.... stock GB, rooted originally with RA. Was successfully using 3.15 before S-Off... After S-Off no longer works. Using ENG Hboot.

The error says:

Performing backup: .

Oops... something went wrong!
Please check the recovery log!

If I return back... to other and then use Move recovery.log to SD I get pretty much the same thing...

Moving: .

Oops... something went wrong!
Please check the recovery log!
[HTC Rezound] RoryHe:
was on leaked firmware

s-off'd

ruu'ed to GB firmware

Ruu'ed to the leak again

unlocked bootloader

flashed amon ra 3.15

tried to make a backup and get some errors looks like other people are having amon issue's too :(
[HTC Rezound] trickster2369:
Mine is backing up just fine as we speak. Was on ICS Leak, did s-off, installed their bootloader. No problems thus far.
[HTC Rezound] narta:
On another note, just discovered by accident that you can navigate in Amon Ra 3.15 by touchscreen, but still need power button to select
[HTC Rezound] B-Mod:
Me also, tried reinstalling recovery using cleantool, it reinstalled but still get the errors posted above when trying to make a backup.....
[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
Is your bootloader unlocked?
[HTC Rezound] B-Mod:
It was before I did the s-off. I thought also that it should not matter after s-off?
[HTC Rezound] evilstewie23:
sorry for my noobishness, but after searching for awhile I'm getting mixed answers on how i should backup my androids. D you recommend just backing up everything? Or just certain parts. Thanks in advance.:D
[HTC Rezound] B-Mod:
For me I try to back up everything. If you have the room on the sd card, then why not? This works for me. Hope this helps...
[HTC Rezound] evilstewie23:
i have plenty of room, thank you. Do you also back up boot. Then when you restore you take the boot.img from the nand, and flash it in hoot?
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Only a few of us have this issue, and noone could track a fix down or why it is even happening. I just flash everything from external no fix that I ever found.

---------- Post added at 11:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 AM ----------

Same here as well . Backups errors out.
[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
Mine was unlocked prior to S-Off also. I wasn't able to restore backups (likely because of the boot.img) and was having issues pushing files to phone via fastboot.

After I unlocked it worked fine but I believe there is something else you can do to avoid unlocking using the htcdev method in the S-Off thread in general.
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
mine was fine with S-on unlocked but does not work now with s-off
[HTC Rezound] HVAC Wars:
Yea that's too bad. Its going to be a while until I can reacquire an external SD. Oh well
[HTC Rezound] nbhnohome:
This is not a Demand but I think it would be nice to have :

[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
any ideas where that post was Marcismo..been combing through the thread and I can't find the instructions. Otherwise, I will unlock again through HTC dev. Didn't realize this relocked up lol until I read your post.
[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
I'll try to find it but now that I think of it...I have a feeling that was for internal/external storage issues.
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
ah.. ok.. thanks anyway I fixed that issue.. just can't make backups and I notice also that I can't mount usb from recovery anymore either.
[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
The jb_hboot.zip file is what you need to rename to PH98IMG.zip and flash in bootloader and will keep you from needing to unlock using the htcdev method.

Flashing this will erase your internal and possibly sd card as well.

Still trying to find that post.
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
Their zip still doesnt fix recovery im still trying to figure it out :/
[HTC Rezound] B-Mod:
I made some posts about that, for ics, because it did not install hboot for me so I took theirs out of the file and installed it. So I have their hboot, but no back ups for me....
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
I noticed that as well , not sure what is up with recovery now. Thought about running the RUU of the leak again and seeing if that would fix it since some people aren't having issues with backups or mounting.
[HTC Rezound] Thadrow:
Can anyone zip the new recovery to flash in bootloader ?
[HTC Rezound] joker2428:
has anyone been able to flash new roms? I've also been having trouble backing up a nandroid (I'm s-off and running 3.15 amon ra)....I've been thinking about wiping and flashing a sense 4 rom but since backups arent working I wasn't sure if wiping, flashing, etc. still worked with 3.15 once s-off has been obtained
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Double check, make sure you're not backing up android secure. As the last I heard it breaks backups. No issues with restores here on s-off.
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
im having big problems with back ups

and no secure is not checked
[HTC Rezound] k_flan:
Old firmware, eng hboot. No problems backing up on 3.14.

were you guys on ics or gb when you went s-off? i haven't tested amon backups but i did have to reflash the recovery when the s-off process was done.
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
umm i was on ICS
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
so was I on ICS, I also can't mount my external SD any longer in recovery. Just tried out Con's port of Twrp and I am back in business . Made backups and can now mount my SD again in recovery.

i was asking because it seems this doesn't affect everyone. i was on the old firmware and gb. perhaps we just need an updated recovery?

thats what im thinking as well... but dont know who can do it...
[HTC Rezound] fix-this!:
Try to pm the OP.
[HTC Rezound] :
I guess I am an odd duck. I can mount internal and external sdcard from recovery.

I cannot flash a backup from AmonRA 3.15 :(

I was on the ice leak when I got s-off. Then I immediately flashed 3.15 from fastboot using adb. No issues other than what I stated above.

[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
I just flashed TWRPVigor and it was able to make a backup without any issue. Placed it on the inside sdcard /sdcard. Used uncompress mode.

I've not tried to restore it yet though.
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
yea i used twirp to backup but did not restore
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
couldn't or you just didn't try to restore yet?
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Well with all the troubles I was having I decided to RUU back to the GB release. I then flashed 3.14 and can now backup ,and mount my SD and internal properly. It also fixed the problem where i couldn't see the internal SD from the flash zip menu. Now, to decide if I want to go further and reflash the leak and see if I can get it all working on that ... probably not today though lol.. wife is already not impressed I spent 3 hours last night and probably 5 hours today messing with the phone :eek:
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
i never tried lol
[HTC Rezound] evilstewie23:
I can't seem to restore my nandroid for some reason. I will post the recovery log but can't seem to do anything, just stuck in recovery because i already wiped. Any ideas. I added a .zip after recovery log so it could be uploaded. please help, I feel like such a noob.

Any idea when a PH98IMG.zip form of 3/15 will be ready for those w/o the ENG hboot running S-OFF?
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
you don't need that. Just download it from the link about 11 or 12 pages back or so and flash from fastboot as its been mentioned already.
[HTC Rezound] crispybacon:
dont have the eng s-off so i dont have fastboot commands
[HTC Rezound] dejahboi:
?...

If you're trying to flash 3.15, you don't have to be s-off to use fastboot commands. I flashed fine with S-On and works perfectly.
[HTC Rezound] crispybacon:
I know, what I'm saying is I'm s-off, but not the ENG s-off. I'm not s-on or I wouldn't really be asking, I had no problems on s-on. So I can only flash PH98IMG.zip's not use fastboot commands right now.
[HTC Rezound] dejahboi:
Did you flash the zip file in from the s-off instructions? I flashed con's and flashed 3.15 s-off and things are working great.

[HTC Rezound] trickster2369:
The hboot you have should work, just make sure it is unlucked again if you don't want to flash another hboot and give that a try.
[HTC Rezound] isdnmatt:
You don't have the additional fastboot commands, but you can fastboot flash recovery all day.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
The guy is right. The stock hboot refuses S-OFF flashing via fastboot unless you unlock via HTCdev.com again. It will let you flash via recovery/hboot though no problem. That is why we use the ENG hboot.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Hooboy, folks coming from locked bootloaders trying to do this (uh, don't the instructions say: (1) read the instructions; and (2) be unlocked?) Secondly, anyone on hboot 2.21 should probably flash Juopunutbear's hboot --- I just see fewer complaints with it. I do note that contrary to what is probably supposed to happen, ControlBear does *not* reliably go directly into offering to flash its own hboot. At least in my case it didn't.

I started with the ICS leaked firmware from March, already on Nils ICS 3.4.

After my second attempt with the wire trick the phone was seemingly "hung" with the down arrow with Juopunut, and the computer telling me "please wait." After a few minutes, thinking I'd mistimed it, I exited and ran it again --- only to have it tell me I was already S-OFF. Rebooted to bootloader and lo and behold, I was, however any effort to boot "past" bootloader got me the down arrow/Juopunut splash screen. Here's what I did to clear everything.

1. Powered off the phone.

2. Using a cardreader, I put Juopunut's BOOTLOADER on my SD card as PH98IMG.ZIP, rebooted to bootloader and ran the update. From the "new" Juopunut's hboot, I powered down the phone. Removed the card.

2. Using a cardreader, I removed the PH98IMG.ZIP from the SD card. Put the card back in the phone.

3. I reboot to bootloader, selected fastboot, using fastboot USB reflashed Amon Ra.

4. Powered off. Removed card, put boot image on card as PH98IMG.ZIP.

5. Rebooted to bootloader and flashed boot image.

6. Powered OFF, booted normally, which finally got me past the Juopunut splash screen. Actually bootlooped once, but then booted normally.

Note, if you boot to bootloader, flash recovery, then go from bootloader directly to recovery you will have issues. Power off first, go into recovery AFTER you've successfully booted your ROM. Amon Ra should behave perfectly normal at that point.

That was my experience at any rate.

YMMV, and frankly there seem to be issues like what color the moon is and whether you're doing it left-handed, right-handed, or are, yourself sober or not, but at least for me that was the path to success.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
I think there was alot of good information in there. However, I believe your sobriety impacts this procedure a bit more than if you are right or left handed.
[HTC Rezound] punman:
I cringed when I read the S-OFF instructions, having seen what lengths XDA users can go to to incorrectly follow or to completely ignore the instructions on something even simple like flashing a ROM. In fact, the last three pages in this thread are about external SD which was answered in the S-OFF OP ... didn't check timestamps though, so to give them the benefit of the doubt, perhaps the instructions were changed afterwards.

Anyway, I think hgoldner has the right idea, just re-flash everything after you do the S-OFF trick, including 3.15 Amon Ra and you should be fine. I think newer S-OFF folks won't have the problem, as the JuopunutBear team said they included only the GB firmware at first and there are now links to ICS firmwares on their site which probably makes all of this moot: just pick the right one. :)
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Latest Version of Amon Ra

As a public service announcement, the latest version of this recovery is in post #428 on page 43 of the thread. It is the version for those on the March 2012 leak of hboot 2.21 and radio identified below in my signature. If you are NOT on the latest leak, you can run version 3.14 in the OP.
[HTC Rezound] It IS Lupus:
You didn't flash the internal memory fix from the s off thread.
[HTC Rezound] esheesle:
You can run 3.14, but why would you if you can run 3.15 instead?
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Because nothing was wrong with 3.14 on GB , and I personally had issues with 3.15. Once I RUU'd back to the 2.011 OTA and flashed 3.14 everthing was back to normal. I am on TWRP recovery now, but at least the RUU fixed my issues with Amon RA.
[HTC Rezound] drellisdee:
Updated 1st post.

To answer people's questions about my recent absence : I've been so busy between work, home & caring for a sick wife who lost her job, and being a dad to 2 young children I haven't had much "play time" lately but I am by no means abandoning this recovery.
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Taking care of your personal life is much more important. Hope the wife is feeling better and being a dad is great ! Thanks for all that you have done !

By the way , I am starting to think something didn't flash right when I flashed the leaked RUU awhile back. Because when I ruu'd back to the OTA , it said .. current build..gave me the OTA number and then will change to and it was still the OTA number. So , I am assuming something didn't flash right even though I flashed the leaked RUU about 4-5 times. Anyway, like I said previously after RUUing back ..Amon Ra worked as it was prior to my flashing the leak.

Thanks again !
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
Possibly... but I had killed probably 6 beers during the process myself so.... drinking beers during the process was practically written in the instructions. :D

[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
No, just a link to the most recent recovery 3.15 that was on page 43 .
[HTC Rezound] Chillerman:
I would like a recovery/hboot flashable PH98IMG.zip as well. The ENG hboot gave me data loss problems every 5 minutes on Gingerbread so I went back to the original hboot. Personally I don't want to HTC unlock again now that I'm s-off locked, I just got rid of "relocked" and "tampered" lol! So how do I make 3.15 into a flashable zip? The original PH98IMG.zip at the bottom of the OP still works, but I don't know what version it is.

EDIT: I flashed the patched 2.11 hboot that con247 posted and all is well!

[HTC Rezound] :
Yes you can flash recoveries in hboot.

1) make a txt file called: android-info.txt

2) include this in the txt file:

modelid: PH9810000

cidnum: VZW__001

mainver: 2.01.605.11

hbootpreupdate:12

3) Rename whichever recovery you want to use to recovery.IMG

4) zip those 2 files and name it PH98IMG.zip

5) Put zip on sdcard and flash in hboot.

6) enjoy :)
