[HTC Rezound] Spyke562:
ok thanks...i will flash that....also...after i got s-off and went to newest leak...do i have to root from Amon recovery again...Root Checker from the apps store saying i am not rooted?

EDIT: so i just tried to flash the JuopunutBear Patched 2.21 HBOOT from Amon and error say "E: Cant find update script". Is this flashable? I am guessing i have to rename to PH98IMG.ZIP to load?
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
Yes rename PH98IMG and flash in hboot

Sent from my Dinc... I mean Rezound
[HTC Rezound] Spyke562:
ok thanks...i can do that...but what about rooting...do i have to root in Amon?
[HTC Rezound] k_flan:
I'm s-off.

I used Amon to install SU, but it doesn't appear to have worked right. It installed the su binary and superuser in Amon. The su binary is in /system/xbin/ and superuser.apk installed, but su doesn't have the right permissions.

I've tried following this - http://www.androidlookout.com/root-kindle-fire-6-2-2/177/ but it doesn't seem to stick.

Specifically, while in recovery after mounting system:

adb shell id

Shows I'm 0

adb remount

adb shell chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su

adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su

adb remount

adb reboot

After it reboots, when I tried to update the su binary in superuser, it fails. Also, the chown/chmod don't appear to have 'stuck' or actually worked when I view su details.

Thoughts on what to try next to get su to work with Amon on the next to newest ICS leak?
[HTC Rezound] Deathbyfugu:
Download the latest Superuser 3.0.7 binary from Rom Manager (Downloads>Superuser>3.0.7 Superuserblah.zip

Flash from within AmonRa after a cache, dalvik cache wipe, install zip, fix permissions, reboot to system > should work.

The same thing happened to me.
[HTC Rezound] Spyke562:
Hey Deathbyfugu,

Thanks for the fix...however when i download ROM Manager i dont see a downloads section? Is there another way to grab the zip?

Thanks...

EDIT: Also just tried to update SuperUser from the install on phone but its failing
[HTC Rezound] k_flan:
I downloaded it directly from http://androidsu.com/superuser/

Eclair/Froyo/Gingerbread/Honeycomb/IceCreamSandwich (2.1 – 4.0.3)

md5: fc462fa0630379edbe10006b1d19d9b1

worked like a charm. Didn't have to fix permission or anything like that.
[HTC Rezound] slimc84:
how do you remove previous backups? i am not seeing the option anywhere..
[HTC Rezound] live2die:
just use a file manager such as root explorer to do this
[HTC Rezound] slimc84:
where are the backups located?

edit: nvm...i found them..

Redownload a couple times. If you keep getting the same thing, flash it and see if it works lol.
[HTC Rezound] chefthomas99:

You should make a rom :D
[HTC Rezound] con247:
What phones lol? This and Desire CDMA is all I have had.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
are you running the checksum on the .zip file or the .img file inside it?
[HTC Rezound] madjokeer:
Yes unlock bootloader is needed even with s-off using this method
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
No it is not. He needs to install the patched hboot from jbear. Then he will be able to flash from fastboot.
[HTC Rezound] :
Correct, an unlocked boot is not needed after you have s-off. The stock s-off hboot is fine unless you want to use fastboot commands from a pc. if this is the case then you need to flash the juopunutbear modified hboot for the version you are on either gb or ics.

Stock s-off hboot works to flash recoveries via ph98img.zip. a few posts back I described how to make one.

No need to unlock.

Rezound.....Tapa2
[HTC Rezound] spitzaf:
And considering how infrequently we flash recovery, not worth killing the ***LOCKED*** for fastboot flashing capability.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
I concede we're wandering off topic here, but I've been able to get Ra Vigor to backup and restore without a single issue since S-OFF, but I've somehow lost mount to PC. I can do adb via wifi, but, even on connecting to PC, Juopunut's hboot doesn't recognize fastboot usb.

Oddly, on reboot, suddenly the Rezound asks whether I want to "charge only" or "drive mode" with PC if the Rezound is plugged into the wall (not the computer).

Is there any possibility that reflashing Juopunut's hboot (or another hboot) will fix this?
[HTC Rezound] :
Doubtful that flashing the jb boot will fix that.

Start fresh, flash the gb ruu.exe (will need device connected to pc). after you flash that enter bootloader and select "clear storage". Let's it do its thing after reboot your device will be 100% stock and should have no issues.

At this point if you want to upgrade to the latest Leaked ICS (3.14) then load the PH98IMG.zip on your sdcard and flash it.

With ICS you will need to use amonra 3.15, with gb version 3.14.

With ICS you will need to flash the jb 2.21 boot, gb you will need the jb 2.11 for fastboot/pc commands.

With the s-off stock & jb hboots you can flash recoveries using the ph98img.zip from the bootloader.

Info on how to make a ph*.zip has been posted in previous posts. I believe someone uploaded it as well.

Goodluck.

Rezound.....Tapa2
[HTC Rezound] trickster2369:
I've been s-off on ICS leak, jb hboot, since it was available, and haven't had that issue. I would suggest what he^^^^^ said, reinstall jb hboot, amon ra, and see if that helps. Just make sure your hboot, and amon ra versions match the firmware you are using.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Yeah, thinking I'll go all the way back to stock S-OFF when Nils releases his full 4.x with all of the 3.14 leak features then gradually rebuild via reflash of the jbear hboot, amon ra 3.15 and then ROM. Last two flashes were flashovers.....so anything's possible.
[HTC Rezound] ANDR0lD:
You first need to chose charge only. Then reboot to hboot. Should give you a red "Fastboot-USB" message instead of just fastboot. Give it a second though

Nope; been there, done that, but thanks anyway. Bootloader doesn't recognize that it's connected to PC. Nils suggested reflash after complete wipe. Going down that path this afternoon.
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
Running S-Off, Amon Ra 3.15, latest ICS RUU and all that...

Since I went S-Off, AR works fine to install ROM's and stuff, but the backup feature no longer works.

Any idears? I don't mind reinstalling AM or something, but I don't want to go all the way back to S-On RUU and have to start the entire process all over again...

Is there going to be an updated version of Amon Ra soon, to replace version 3.15?
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
You need to format your card in amonra and on your phone a few times ... Look up the amonra sd card fix thread

Sent from my Dinc... I mean Rezound
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
Cannot locate the correct thread. Where in AmonRa can you do a format of the SD card?

Everything seems to work fine on the phone, except for these AmonRa issues. I can install a ROM from the SD card, but I cannot perform a Nandroid backup on the same SD card. Very weird...
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
its in the developer menu maybe... what error are u getting?
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
When I try to run a Nandroid Backup, it asks me to hit the power button to confirm, it sits there for 3 seconds and then says:

"Ooops, something went wrong! Check the recovery log for details."

I go to the other menu and tell it to copy the log to the SD card, and again, it gives the above error...

I tried to run these directions from the S-Off thread:

Install busybox

adb shell busybox fdisk /dev/block/mmcblk1

type o

type w

adb shell busybox fdisk /dev/block/mmcblk1

type n

select primary, then 1

chose default sizes

type w

adb shell busybox mkfs.vfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p1

And it halts after the first command and won't let me proceed.

I wish there was a "format SD card" option in the ROM itself, like under storage settings, but all there is is "Erase SD contents" which I fear will just wipe out all my stuff and not actually fix anything... LOL
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
yea thats the exact error i got till i formated the card in the phone and in amonra
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
Ok, cool. So, how did you format it in AR and the phone? :-)
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
go into settings on your phone and click storage> then click unmount sd card> then

hit erase card..

next go into amonra recovery and and go into one of the menus that has the option format card or erase sd card something like that ... and do it like twice

hey check here

[HTC Rezound] skorpios1027:
I've been searching and reading lots about AR problems with the ICS firmware and have seen a couple others with my problem: I can't flash from the internal sd. When I select Chose zip from internal_sd all AR sees is:

../
LOST.DIR/

Like the others I have seen with my problem I can mount the internal sd to the computer from AR and can make backups. I can see the external sd and flash fine from there. Looking at the recovery log on my device and the ones I saw posted here on XDA it would appear that everything should be working properly (see the excerpt from my recovery.log):

Note that the last line shows mmcblk0p37 as mounted on internal_sdcard not mmcblk0p38 as it should be. I have no clue how to fix this but I am posting it in hopes that it helps solve the problem.

[HTC Rezound] vcmstone:
I need help with getting Amon Ra installed on my phone. I do have S-Off and I have recently flashed the 5/7 ICS leak. I go to try and flash the recovery (via CleanFlash) and I get this error:

sending 'recovery' (7078KB)...

OKAY [1.551s]...

writing 'recovery'...

FAILED <remote: not allowed>

What does this message mean? I've used CleanFlash to install the recovery each time on my unit and never have had an issue. I am trying to flash 3.15. As stated, I do have S-Off, so I don't think it should matter that my phone says Locked (I am able to flash the stock recovery). Any suggestions?

Also, the phone is in Fastboot (USB) when trying to write the recovery.
[HTC Rezound] pwned3:
If you're locked with a factory hboot fast boot commands won't work. There's a ph file you can download, drop on your sd card and flash through hboot
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
You need to put it into a PH98IMG or flash the modified hboot they give since the commands don't work with stock hboot after soff

Sent from my Dinc... I mean Rezound
[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
2 options....

1. Flash the JuopunutBear HBOOT in order for the fastboot commands to work. You can find those files HERE. Remember to flash the correct HBOOT for the firmware you are currently running whether it be ICS or GB. Back up your internal memory as well just in case because it might get wiped.

2. Flash the recovery in a PH98img.zip format in bootloader (someone posted it in this thread somewhere).
[HTC Rezound] vcmstone:
But is there a PH folder for 3.15 RA? I show that there is a PH file in Post 1, but I am not sure if it is an old version or the newest one.
[HTC Rezound] skorpios1027:
Try this one. Just remember to rename it PH91IMG.zip It is just AmonRa with the android-info.txt from the 5-7 leak.
[HTC Rezound] vcmstone:
Thanks man. That seem to do it. I tried making my own PH file, but it wouldn't get past parsing. I used yours and it asked if I wanted to flash. Flashed, rebooted, deleted the PH file and Success!

Thanks again.
[HTC Rezound] thelandon:
I'm on that leak after installing the full RUU twice. I ran your zip and got the error message:

Main Version is older!

Update Fail!

Press <Power> to reboot.
[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
You have a couple options...1. Extract the .img file (or download it from the OP) and flash via fastboot. 2. Flash the main version fix (Con247 put this together) 3. Fix the android-info.txt to match your main version or 4. S-off and flash anything you want :D
[HTC Rezound] skorpios1027:
That's odd, because the mainver in the android-info.txt in the file I attached is 3.13.605.7, which afaik is the latest.

Edit: My bad the latest mainver is 3.14.605.5. Here is a corrected version

I would say in your case, option 2 would be your best bet if you don't want to S-off
[HTC Rezound] thelandon:
I tried flashing the main version fix, but I couldn't boot into recovery (I'm guessing because I'm currently unrooted, using the stock recovery). I also tried flashing the version above which fixes the info text, but it didn't take either. I plan to s-off, but a requirement is to be rooted first, meaning I must flash a recovery first in order to s-off.

What am I missing?
[HTC Rezound] skorpios1027:
Is your bootloader currently unlocked?
[HTC Rezound] thelandon:
Yes, I successfully unlocked my bootloader.
[HTC Rezound] skorpios1027:
Have you tried pulling the img file from the zip, placing it in the same folder on your computer as fastboot, booting into the bootloader and fastboot flash recovery <recovery image name>?
[HTC Rezound] thelandon:
I tried that and got some weird error (or failed?) message. Unfortunately, I forgot to jot down the message. I'll try it again when I get home.
[HTC Rezound] thelandon:
I'm still stuck. I get the following error when trying to flash the PH98IMG.zip, which I have placed on the root of SDCARD 2:

Main Version is older!

Update Fail

Press <Power> to reboot.

My adb skills are pretty weak. I was able to HTC dev unlock. However, I was not successful in flashing a recovery.

[HTC Rezound] Kennnny1:
Boot into fastboot. From computer fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
[HTC Rezound] skorpios1027:
Can you do 2 things for me?

1. Open the zip and tell me what the mainver is in the android-info.txt file

2. boot into your bootloader and on your computer, type the following (from the directory that contains fastboot):

fastboot getvar mainver

and tell me what response you get.

I have a feeling that because he is S-on and on hboot 2.25 he is getting the "FAILED (remote not allowed)" error when he tries to fastboot flash.
[HTC Rezound] thelandon:
On the zip, I have 2.01.605.11 for main version.

In my terminal window, after typing fastboot getvar mainver, I get:

-bash: fastboot: command not found
[HTC Rezound] skorpios1027:
OK, I think I know where the problem is. Your mainver should be 3.14.605.5 based on what I see from your earlier post, the mainver in your zip is lower.

Grab the zip I attached to this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26417678&postcount=750

Rename it to PH98IMG and replace the one on the root of your sdcard with this one. Boot into bootloader and (hopefully) you should be good.
[HTC Rezound] thelandon:
Woohoo! That worked! THANK YOU!!!! :)
[HTC Rezound] skorpios1027:
I'm glad I was able to help. I do recommend that you get S-off. It makes things much easier. I would also replace your hboot with one of the patched ones. I am using JuopunutBear's patched 2.21 hboot and it is working fine with the firmware from the 5-7 leak.

[HTC Rezound] HowardZ:
Since our Rezound ICS release, I am having difficulties RESTORING nandroid backups. These backups were made of my system after the ICS install.

A week ago I tried restoring a nandroid backup and got oodles of force closes.

Yesterday, I did a factory reset, booted up, didn't finish the new phone wizard. Then I booted into Amon RA recovery, restored my nandroid backup, booted up, and none of my apps are installed anymore, and I also got forced closes. I booted up Amon RA recovery and ran its fix permission - but it didn't help.

So, both times I had to basically factory reset and spend hours installing all my apps and setting things up. The purpose of Amon RA recovery, or others is to have backups to avoid all this work.

Are other people on stock rooted Verizon/HTC ICS also having nandroid restore difficulties? I wonder if Amon RA recovery needs some software changes to handle ICS?

But the Nand backup still does not work. I verified the space on the card and its got plenty of space...
[HTC Rezound] rboddy:
So for the "Wipe data/factory reset" option, do we use that to wipe /data, /system/ and /cache for installing new roms, or does that wipe everything and anything? I've been afraid to use it so I'm manually wiping those three one by one. I don't want to go and wipe the entire SD card and what not!

yes, you can use that before you flash a new rom. it does NOT wipe the SD card or the internal storage.
