What's the problem that you're wanting an update for? Have you not obtained root access yet? For ICS and newer you need to use a different method and we can probably help you out if you're needing root access. Or if you're having a different problem we might have some insight.
[HTC Rezound] warpurlgis:
They didn't ask for ETAs, they asked about progress. His last post said he would have it done a week ago. I'm sure people are just curious about the progress.
[HTC Rezound] champdr0id:
I tried to put 3.15 on so i could try the new jellybean OC kernel, but my bootloader (2.27) shows "update gift!" before it looks for the ph file, and goes to twrp. I figured i'd ask here because this be the recovery i tried flashing.

the kernel flash didn't work on twrp (bootloop)

s-off also

all insight appreciated :)
[HTC Rezound] DontPushButtons:
Check to make sure you don't have an "update.zip" in the root of the sd card.
[HTC Rezound] champdr0id:
That's what did it? Dang. That was my app backup zip file. I'll rename it.
[HTC Rezound] DontPushButtons:
I did the exact same thing probably 3 weeks ago :P. Frustrated me for a few days.
[HTC Rezound] champdr0id:
Too bad it led me to another issue. the loving bootloader (global) didn't pick up the recovery.img in the ph file . I'll just wait for an update to either this, or a twrp flashable version of the kernel i was trying to flash. I can be patient haha:highfive:
[HTC Rezound] stkiswr:
If your soff just flash a 2.25 hboot or the nodded 2.27. Then have the ph98img.zip and flash recovery thru hboot. The 2.27 fights some stuff. You can just flash it and be,done with it. I even have a 2.27 hex modded hboot I could send you but it will say son like stock but it will be fully free hboot. I kept it just in case I ever had an issue I would throw it on there and flash a stock Rom lol

Being full soff makes it very easy to correct this little issue. 2.27 stock hboot is,your problem.

the internal stroage can mount to the pc in the recovery but when i am in the "flash zip" menu when i choose to flash zip from the internal sdcard there is nothing in it:confused:
[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
That's kind of normal a lot of us see it after ICS based roms.
[HTC Rezound] drellisdee:
updated to 3.16
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
So 3.16 runs fine, although I didn't test whether it roots stock (I will leave that to other intrepid souls migrating between RUU's).

I did notice, however, it seems to think it's on a smaller screen than the Rezound, the hardware buttons don't register, and Nandroid of internal android.secure is missing. None of these is a big deal.

Toying with testing one of the JB kangs over the weekend. If I do, I'll flash stock and test dev options in between wipes, if nobody else has tried yet.

Thanks for the update.

My name's Harold and I'm a flashaholic....
[HTC Rezound] drellisdee:
Harold looks like you got a bad download from mediafire. Did you check md5? I redownloaded and flashed and everything is correct. 3.16 is binary the same as 3.15 with the su and superuser files fixed. None of the above items were messed up.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Sorry, boss. That's because I'm an idiot. That's what I get for trying to download and flash a recovery via Tapatalk when I'm in the middle of orchestra rehearsal. Yeah, those 60 bars of rests during slow movements look attractive, but it's just enough time to get into trouble.

Fact is, I downloaded and flashed 3.06!!!! :o

Got home, downloaded the *right* file, turned it into a zip and flashed in hboot (would have used fastboot but it doesn't work reliably on my home PC).

Of course, that worked just fine. Yeesh. Thank goodness I didn't try to actually do anything with 3.06 thinking I had 3.16. Would have been interesting.
[HTC Rezound] shawnshawn90:
So just flash in recovery?
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
No, you have to flash it in fastboot or make a PH98IMG.ZIP to flash in hboot (which requires an android.txt file in the zip with the recovery image file). If drellisdee wants, I will post a link to the zip I made.

My name's Harold and I'm a flashaholic....
[HTC Rezound] shawnshawn90:
Dude that would be awesome, thanks
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Here you go:

http://db.tt/c7ybiswj?dl=1

md5: 0bbe8f80235d557de6b99ecb0b97b90b

Make sure you rename it to PH98IMG.ZIP and put it in the root of sdcard2. Remember to take it out of the root directory once it's flashed, or next time you go to hboot it will try to run it.

My name's Harold and I'm a flashaholic....
[HTC Rezound] drellisdee:
I prefer dd if im not near a computer for fastboot. I hate making hboot zips. Make sure its a .img (unzipped) :

dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p23

where /sdcard/recovery.img is path to where the recovery.img is located on your phone
[HTC Rezound] drellisdee:
Just as a word of caution to everyone be very aware of the source before you flash anything and even inspect the zip/script if you can. I realized the other day how someone with evil intent can permabrick an htc with just a single line in a script, This could also be easy deployed in a su enabled app, recovery_flashable.zip, rom(in init.d script, etc), or a few lines of code in a C binary. In practice after something like this would happen you would be none the wiser till you powered off your device (power dies, batt pull, reboot is called) and it will never power up again. Hopefully we will never see this type of malicious intent on xda but just a word of caution. I'm not going to go into further detail as I wouldn't want something this destructive in the wrong hands.
[HTC Rezound] weaverinva:
Great recovery. Thank you so much. I use it often. Just flashed 3.16 and working fine....except for a problem that I was also having in 3.15.

I cannot choose a zip from the internal_sd. It shows .. and that is all. I search the thread and tried the adb shell and mount commands while in recovery and I can see a directory listing. When I mount it via USB in recovery or if a rom is flashed and running, I can see directories.

Is there a way to remedy? Should I reformat the internal_sd? If so how? Not new to computers but new to this, I did run a windows chkdsk against the internal_sd mounted drive a month or two ago. I think(not sure) that is when it stopped working--don't think I formatted it then though via that mechanism. Funny thing is that I can see contents in adb shell and through a rom....

Any help appreciated.
[HTC Rezound] sliding_billy:
Thanks for continuing to update this recovery.
[HTC Rezound] live2die:
CharliesTheMan said it is a known problem since ics ages
[HTC Rezound] drellisdee:
I would suggest a reformat of the internal_sd done via the settings menu with android booted. As far as I can tell the issue with the internal sd comes from the original s-off method and a reformat should fix it. The function to mount the internal sd to mass storage or via terminal is handled by a different block of code than the one to flash a zip from it which is not nearly as forgiving to mount it. In my development and testing I have had no issues at all seeing and using the internal sd. Can you also provide a recovery.log to me ? Use the move log to sd option and get the recovery.log from your sd card.
[HTC Rezound] weaverinva:
Okay, I decided to be as clean as possible. I am S-Off. Went back and flashed RUU of 4.03.605.2--wiped all my folders from internal_sd. Reflashed vinylfreak89 hboot and then flashed Amon Ra 3.16. No fix. Then used the rom 'Erase all' option on internal phone storage 'internal sd'. No fix.

I wonder if the custom hboot is a problem. I did have access to internal_sd at somepoint but it may have been when I was S-On before Christmas. I am betting that was the case. Seems that I could manually format /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 via adb if needed. I don't know the right commands for that though.

I have attached the log you requested.

Don't like errors although I mainly flash from my external SD. Thought this was not consistent....
[HTC Rezound] Boostjunky:
FWIW, I'm on vinylfreak's custom hboot myself, and I have no issues seeing the contents of internal_sd on Amon_RA v3.15.

Not sure I dare upgrade to 3.16 for fear of incurring a new issue.
[HTC Rezound] drellisdee:
What hboot are you using?

According to the log your partitions are correct for ics+

external sdcard is found at mmcblk1p1 aka sdcard2 in android

internal sdcard is found at mmcblk0p38 aka sdcard in android pre ics hboot this was at mmcblk0p37 and its showing it correctly at p38
[HTC Rezound] live2die:
didnt see the option to format internel sdcard in the settings menu:confused:
[HTC Rezound] weaverinva:
I am using vinylfreak89's hboot. It has worked well. The other poster mentioned that 3.15 and vinylfreak worked. I believe that mine worked before as well. Is there a way to format mmcblk0p38 manually?

Live2die mentioned that there is no format in Settings>Storage. They are right in that there is an 'erase' option which may not format.

Could this have anything to do with flashing back and forth between a nandroid of older Cleanrom DE (based on 3.xx.xxx) and newer 4.3.605.2 and AOSP based roms? I would not think so. It is at such a hardware level.
[HTC Rezound] Boostjunky:
Just a quick update, I ended up flashing 3.16 last night, and I can still see the contents of my internal SDcard.
[HTC Rezound] JeffBea:
Is the text size any bigger in this version?
[HTC Rezound] Mindrocket:
No, it looks the same.
[HTC Rezound] LakerStar25:
Hey drellisdee do you have any plans to port this to the DNA? I've always used AmonRa for my Rezound and can't imagine using any other recovery. I will be unlocking and rooting soon and would love to use it on my DNA.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Just thought I'd mention that in the process of migrating to an AOKP ROM, I restored my stock Global Leak nandroid that I hadn't been able to root with Amon Ra 3.15 and 3.16 definitely got the job done this time. (Then I backed it up, wiped, and moved on to AOKP JB.)

UPDATE - And when it turned out AOKP can't sync Exchange properly, the 3.16 Nandroid took me right back to Ineffabilis.

Thanks!

Dumped down the innertubes from my Arnova 10 G2.
[HTC Rezound] weaverinva:
Drellisdee,

Do you think it would be a good idea for me to manually format mmcblkp038 to get this working and back to normal?

I suppose I could use fastboot adb terminal or busy box?

I feel like I am getting in deeper than I know. :o
[HTC Rezound] weaverinva:
3.15 3.16 could not see internal sdcard

Okay, here is the solution for my 'empty' internal_sd (sd card). I searched and ended up manually reformatting via mkfs the mmcblk038 block but this did not fix my problem. After reading others posts, I found an obscure entry that another had the problem and it resolved if a person went back and flashed an original gingerbread rom and then came forward. Indeed this is the case. I flashed a GB rom (back to old hboot and old radios) then next flashed 4.3.605.2. Now Amon Ra 3.16 sees everything again. I think I must have messed something up when I was trying to fix partitions with a fat chkdsk from a Windows computer. I am S-Off. Everything works now....
[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
Thanks for this post. I've had this issue and I don't know how I caused it, I just know that most likely its my fault lol.

Its never been an issue because I flash from external anyway but now that I've seen your post, I'm gonna add this to my rainy day to do list and see what happens with mine.
[HTC Rezound] weaverinva:
You are welcome. Good to know that I am not alone in this occurring. I don't like things to me 'out of line'. I too flash mostly from external rom. The whole process now that I am more familiar with things does not take that long...
[HTC Rezound] Damasterjj:
so is 3.16 bug free? or 3.15 better?
[HTC Rezound] Boostjunky:
Been using 3.16 for around a couple weeks, now. No issues. Works just like 3.15 did, with the addition of a working "root" function.
[HTC Rezound] Damasterjj:
ok, thanks
[HTC Rezound] ryryrocco:
can this be flashed somehow being s-on?
[HTC Rezound] zac41189:
Yeah just make sure it's named PH98IMG.zip and place it on the root of your external sd card and reboot to bootloader. It'll install on its own from there.

Been trying to install since last night...

Tried three times each time using new files after re downloading. Renamed file, placed in root of external sd card, loaded bootloader. Each time, it loads the file then gets stuck parsing the file and won't go any further. I had to pull the battery each time after waiting awhile. Not sure why I'm having issues.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Take one of them you downloaded. Extract out recovery.img from the zip and flash it with fastboot.

Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Xparent Red Tapatalk 2
[HTC Rezound] QBall45:
Snuzzo I just followed your above directions using adb and got a fail to execute this was after I had previously flashed this 3.16 s-off zip in hboot. it appeared to work however being as the font size was so small I decided against using it and went to revert to the older 3.15. hboot flashed that and all appeared fine until I went to boot up the rom. lets just say life isn't so grand anymore. I'm stuck in a bootloop from hell. battery pull, wipe and reflash rom ... I run into an error "E: can't mount CACHE /dev/block/mmcblk0p36" yet it allows me to explore the sd card as well as to reflash the rom and gapps. I'm not entirely certain what went wrong. what I do know is that for the 2nd time in 3 years I'm going to bed with an inoperable device. hopefully yoiu guys can assist me in figuring out how to revive this rez.

Edit: I fixed my troubles by flashing CWM Touch recovery. I have been able to boot up again. I'm not sure what if anything I did wrong. What I do know is that I'm not going to flash amon ra 3.16 ever again. Though I may revert to amon ra 3.15 at a later date.
[HTC Rezound] LOBBS:
Alright, I downloaded the file from the OP v3.16 link (Mediafire). MD5 checksum matches. I am S-Off. Do I flash this file as is from recovery? Change the file name to PH98img and do it from Hboot? Or pull the recovery.IMG out and fastboot flash it? It's been a long time since I flashed a new recovery and even then did it using Hasoon's All in One kit.

[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Stupid question... I unlocked today, and flashed in Infection 2.8.1 ROM with Amon Ra by using the "fastboot boot recovery-ra-vigor-3.16-gnm.img" and all went well, wiped everything, installed ROM/boot.img, and the ROM is up and working fine, but when I booted back into fastboot and tried to issue a "fastboot flash ..." command to actually flash in Amon Ra, it kept erroring out saying "unknown partition". Am I flashing this incorrectly?

EDIT: Nevermind, I'm just being an idiot again... forgot to use "fastboot flash recovery recovery-ra-vigor-3.16-gnm.img", once I issued the right command everything was fine.
[HTC Rezound] mikeyk101:
So is there any real advantage of using Amonra 3.16 instead of 3.15? What would I gain with 3.16? I have been using 3.15 and I am S-off on rooted stock 4.05.605.14.

[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
thanks for the recovery, haven't used amon ra before, but seemed to install and do a nandroid fine.

Main question I have is for backups.

I backed up just what was checked. I'm guessing sd-ext is the sd card. Does this backup the internal sd memory? Don't think it would need to since wiping doesn't wipe that, just wanted to make sure.

edit: Now I'm confused, I read that doing the htcdev unlock wiped the phone including internal sd memory. Mine did not, yet I'm unlocked with amon ra installed. Interesting.
[HTC Rezound] clclark7:
I keep getting oops something went wrong?

Any ideas?
[HTC Rezound] drellisdee:
Please read and post the recovery.log. Use the menu other option to move recovery log to sd then it will copy recovery.log to sdcard. Upload it here after reading it. You must move log prior to booting out of recovery.

The sd-ext is NOT the external/internal sdcard its a 2nd partition on sdcard for apps2sd.
[HTC Rezound] fuzzynco:
Can anyone tell me how to restore a single partition

with Amon-Ra style nandroid ?

I'm use to CWM and this behaves differently?

I used to restore cache just to verify the md5sum's

were correct. Don't know how to do that here?
[HTC Rezound] drellisdee:
With 3.10 select the items you wish to restore by filling the [X]. Then when selections are done select restore. There are no md5 issues as md5 is checked at dumping then again at restore against the original md5 contained in the nandroid.md5 file in the backup. It will error doing a backup or restore if the md5 is wrong.

boot phone to fastboot, plug in USB.

in terminal on your computer, use:

fastboot flash recovery XXXX.img

where XXXX.img is the name of the .img file you downloaded.

Sorry if this is a noobish question, but which file do i download from the first post? The attached or from the link ( containing a an .img file)? Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] PhantomApollyon:
Everything seems to be working really well with the newest version, no issues here but I do have a small request. Would it be possible to get something that is themed for the rezound so to speak, with red text and such for the menu items and maybe a nice background image instead of the vanilla htc logo? Just curious, if not it's cool, really appreciate what you've done with this so far for sure!
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
from the link containing the img file.

download the img file, use fastboot to flash to the recovery on your phone.
[HTC Rezound] pkopalek:
This recovery works fantastic. Thank you.

[HTC Rezound] andybones:
is there anyway to make a version that has the soft buttons working like on the inc2
[HTC Rezound] SteveG12543:
The back arrow works. I don't see the point of using the others. Well, home button to bring you back to the main menu. But other than that, no reason imo.
[HTC Rezound] andybones:
just got my Rezound today, nice to know about the back button thanks man!
[HTC Rezound] drellisdee:
On the latest home should function as an alt vol up menu as alt vol dn and search as an alt select. Update from the 3.06 version. Also 3.10 gives selectable nandroid restores and compressed backups too. 3.11 will feature an automatic PXXX.IMG creation from a kernel zImage to flash in bootloader. Thats in testing currently.
[HTC Rezound] PhantomApollyon:
any ideas here drellisdee?
