[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Perm root would not allow us to flash anything. It really wouldnt do any more than what temp root does besides stick after reboot.

To flash a ROM you need a custom Recovery, which exist on this Forum, AmonRA I think did it? But the problem is getting the recovery on the phone. To get the recovery on the phone you need to be able to flash it. To flash it you need to have either....

A) Unlocked Bootloader to allow flashing of non signed / encrypted partitions (in this case the recover partition)

or

B) S-OFF to allow you to flash anything at all regardless of encryption. S-OFF means (for the most part) Secruity Off. So it doesnt sig check the IMG.

What happened to me would not affect that. Although I wish it would, I know having perm root alone is not the answer.

At this point its all about fiding a backdoor to the achieve S-OFF or getting VZW to allow HTC to unlock the bootloader.

What I was trying to do was have the HTC tool is spit out an Evo 3D unlock.bin token / file. Then compared that bin using various hex editors to the original binary code generated by fastboot when obtaining the unlock key from the device. What I was hoping to see (of course it wouldnt be this easy) some hex editable blocks that could be manipulated to make the Rezound think that the unlock token is for it and not the 3D.

Unfortunately I am not that smart... But I have also not given up. I really think it could be done... But the key would to be get an unlock.bin token for a Rezound and look at the similiarites between that and the 3D. But if we could get that then we would not need it because we have it. So that outs....

So I think it could be done by some of the smarter fellows on here but it would nto be easy and make take more time than the typical span of the device's life.

Also noted similiarites and differences in the unlock codes the device spits out. There is a pattern to them but I cant decipher the pattern. And if I could it would still do no good because we need to get a hold of the alogarithm that HTC uses to convert or otherwise match that device output into a paired key. Thats the real clue. This can be done! Htc did obviously!

Sorry to be so long winded but hoping someone that sees that might understand what I am talking about and throw in $.02... You never know what a few people working together can accomplish! If someone can create an app that creates Windows 7 Key, that person could create an app that creates unlock.bin tokens. Anything is possible.

[HTC Rezound] Scott:
I could not get it figured out. I will try again though... What I did... Was re-enable everything, set up A/S then disabled. In theory none of the items disabled should cause this but somehow HTC never ceases to amaze me with the entanglement of applicats they use.
[HTC Rezound] AndroidGraphix:
Thanks Scott for the in depth summary. It's great information and I'm sure someone out there can pick up where you're having trouble. Keep trying man.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Scott, need your opinion.

I am thinking that even without the unlocked bootloader and s-off we can at least theme and adb push some of the system apk's if we have perm root.

I know that is the way I test changes to my ROM's before I compile in changes.

Correct?

P.S. Good luck figuring out how you got root to stick.

Hmmm: Maybe not now that I think about it we still would have the problem with the eMMC overwrite.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
I do the same thing... But...

Your correct. And most of the changes require you to reboot... Like for systemui.apk. So once you reboot changes are gone.
[HTC Rezound] hoovnick:
Ok, i'm seriously getting frustrated. I can't seem to get adb server to ACK. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the HTC drivers, the SDK. I can navigate to the folder via command prompt and get it to see the phone under adb devices. But then when i run the script I get this every time:

CleanTOOL 2.1.1 For the HTC Rezound by Scott (scrosler)

www.scottsroms.com

Obtaining Temp Root!

This may take a minute.

Please be patient...

adb server is out of date. killing...

ADB server didn't ACK

* failed to start daemon *

error:

Any other ideas?
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Try different drivers. This is almost surely related to the HTC drivers. Try these:

http://goo.gl/Rzauz
[HTC Rezound] hoovnick:
I've tried those as well. Still no dice....
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Ok you've got some other kind of wonderful running on your machine then. Another person suggested not touching the verizon pop up. Have you tried that as well?
[HTC Rezound] triton302:
Try exiting the Verizon program that comes up on the computer, exiting out of HTC Sync, make sure USB debugging is on and the phone is in charge mode only. Reboot your phone and computer both, then give it another shot. Try switching USB ports as well.
[HTC Rezound] hoovnick:
tried it all, same thing. i'll have to look at it after i get back from vacation. thanks for tips
[HTC Rezound] reniur:
If you haven't tried the steps listed in post #81, by jmart518, you may want to look at it and try it. That was the only way I got my setup to work.

Once I copied the adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll, and AdbWinUsbApi.dll files from the Clean Tool folder to the HTC program files folder, I was able to get it going.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Im going to assume the obvious.... But of course I will also state the obvious...

1. Drivers installed properly? How can you check to be sure? Go to your Windows Device Manager and look for unkown devices while you are plugged in.

2. HTC Sycn application disabled / uninstalled? How can you check to be sure? The HTC Icon will not be present or will show as disabled in you Windows system tray.

3. USB Cable is not faulty? How can you check? Connect device to PC and a pop up should happen on phone that allows you to check connectivity method. Choose Storage Device and see if a removable device shows up in Windows.

3. USB Debugging is enabled? How can you check? Settings -> Application ->Development -> USB Debugging -> Check mark. How else can you tell? When you plug your phone into PC it should say something like "USB Debugging enabled"

Now time for some basic troubleshooting if all of those criteria have been satisfied and or are known to be good...

1. Open a command prompted INSIDE of the CleanTOOL folder.

2. Type ADB Devices

3. Post output so I can see it.

We will continue after you have done all of the above....

That made me LOL for real! ahahaha....

[HTC Rezound] kishin14:
Scott, what were your impressions? I know it's kinds off topic but you did bring it up ;)
[HTC Rezound] crupp:
I keep getting a adb server out of date...Killing, and nothing happens.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Version 1.1 Now Available!

Version 1.1 Now Available!

Changes in this version

Added twitter to the kill list (Didn't see it the first time)

Moved ADB to root of folder for easier use by those without the SDK

If you had problems with "Command not found" then this should resolve that.

Also updated prerequisites to include the installation of HTC Sync drivers.

If you have any kill list suggestion then by all means post 'em up!

Have fun and keep it Clean!
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Reboot phone and PC. Try again.

Also try with the 1.1 that I just uploaded.
[HTC Rezound] narodk:
Move files from tools folder to cleantool folder and it will work, that worked for me

Edit: didn't see the update.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Its all good man! Anyone helping is always a good thing!
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Maybe because it's a Google app. Never tried but since it's tied to your gmail account login, that might be bringing it back. Try unchecking the sync in your accounts then disabling the app.
[HTC Rezound] crupp:
Nope. Oh well. It does apear to run through the whole script, but nothing happens
[HTC Rezound] 471405:
Do I need to do a factory reset first or can I just install this without issues?
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Nah... I dont think that is it...

Do you have sync drivers installed? Are you in Charge Only mode? Is HTC sync running? If it is kill it! That will cause ADB to fail.

Anyways... Reboot phone again... Try again. Post screenshot of window if it fails and I will try to figure it out for you.

No... Just run script on a fresh boot. Make sure you have HTC Drivers installed.
[HTC Rezound] ugapug:
Awesome. Finally have most of the bloat gone. I'm going to try and remember the com names of the other bloatware so I can disable the rest. 250mb free memory isn't enough!
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Thats easy... I can compile a list of every single com in the ROM (I made a rhyme!). I just had this phone in hand for less than 12 hours and I am coming from Sprint so I dont know what files are safe to kill and what files are needed for whatever purposes.
[HTC Rezound] king.james:
Is Mobile IM, Footprints, news, and Friend Stream able to be removed without causing damage?
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
WTF is footprints anyway??
[HTC Rezound] pagereborn:
Very nice will try soon
[HTC Rezound] trickster2369:
I remove those all the time on my DINC. Can't imagine you couldn't on the Rezound.

Edit: Yes I'M trolling my new thread before I get this phone.
[HTC Rezound] sshams95:
Awesome script! I was able to run it and got rid of bloat. Will this also give us temp root access to run Titanium Backup, etc? Rootcheck app shows no root access, can't install Busybox either
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Yes...

Footprints: com.htc.android.footprints

Footprints Widget: com.htc.footprints.widget3d

Mobile IM: com.htc.mim

News: com.htc.googlereader

News Widget: com.htc.googlereaderwidget

Friendstream: com.htc.friendstream

Friendstream lockscreen: com.htcidlescreen.socialnetwork

I will add these in the next revision as well!

[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
I'm a little slow when it comes to ADB and what not so bare with me. This is the error I am getting below.

I see the ADB server is out of date multiple times and then it appears to go thru...but then I see an issue pushing busybox? Please help Scott! :confused:
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Reboot phone with Fast Boot OFF then reboot PC and try again.

Any chance we can get the file names from this removable apps thread? I'm on a app freezing frenzy now. Loving it!

[HTC Rezound] triton302:
Another obvious tip, but anything might help.

Did you completely unzip the entire folder, and not run the program while it's still zipped?

I tried to run it before unzipping the entire folder and it gave me a similar issue. Unzipped and it ran fine after.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Didint like it... at all...

Here's why...

1. Its not made by HTC

2. It didint have Sense

3. Its got poor radio reception. I posted my results somewhere but maybe not in this thread. I tested it on speedtest.net against my Rezound and a Razr. All side by side in the store. G-Nex then Rezound then Razr. Actially Rezound and Razr were pretty close but the Gnex was a joke.

I was hitting 3 meg down with G-Nex and hitting near 20 with Rezound and Razr. I did read an article on A/C that stated Samsung is working on the problem and they fully acknowledge the issue.

Maybe once they get that worked out and sell the device to HTC so it can have Sense it will be good. But until then I wouldn't buy it. I would recommend Rezound over anything. At all. Rezound = King! I didn't think it would out my 3D as favorite phone, I knew if anything it would be close run. But once I had the Rezound in my hand I just smiled. It was right for me. Love at first sight! I do miss having 3D though.

But its all personal preference. Some people like Chevy and some people like Ford.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Oh thats a good one! Didint think of that!
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
Download link isn't working for me.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Its not working for any one. Webserver is down.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Samsung has "acknowledged" radio issues with every one of their phones...don't believe me, go ahead and search. I owned a Fascinate and for every positive I can say about that phone it was detracted by its horrible radio/reception.

Neither did I.. Guess we should make sure that's spelled out huh..??
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
haha, my bad! It's up now though.
[HTC Rezound] triton302:
I'm a Ford guy, but I do love my Mitsubishi.

Anyway, back on topic. The Nexus just had a terrible screen, like the RAZR. I think I'm spoiled on the Rezound's perfectly sharp and clear screen that anything else just looks cheap. The only AMOLED display that doesn't look cheap and Pentile'd up is the SAMOLED+ on the Charge. It was only pixelated because of the lower resolutions with enhanced colors. Samsung needed THAT display with 720p, better radio, better build quality and a removable SD card to sell me on it.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
I only make one request when I post my work...

Please do not mirror my work on any server without asking me first.

You can take my work and change the name of the script and call it yours, you can say I stole the script from you, You can come in my thread and say I owe you thanks for parts of script (that I dont), etc etc etc... I dont really care.

But when it comes to mirrors... I ask that you please do not do this.

The only "payment", besides a couple donations here and there, is watching to see how many people download my work. This can only be achieved via the hit counter on my site. Yes, this is an Ego thing but I am sure you can understand and respect that.

Thanks!

-Scott

Oh and site is back up.
[HTC Rezound] jawiler:
I had the same problem, so I tried doing it on a different computer and it worked the first time. Something must be screwy on the 1st computer.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
You should know that I was only trying to keep the download available(which is why the second I saw that you were up I yanked that link). And most certainly no disrespect intended. You can have whatever reasons you like for not wanting a mirror, it's your product and I can't/wouldn't ever say anything to impede it being distributed the way you prefer it. Hell where I started threads on other forums I linked back to this one. So no worries.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Cool then. As long as you understand. Im not trying to be a jerk or anything.
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
Hey, how does one restore just the stock Android Music widget?

I was using Winamp for music and while it does not use Beats Audio, I got around that with using an Equalizer app from the market.

However, the FF and Rew and Pause controls on the Beats headphones do not work with Winamp.

So, I can use the stock music player by using Astro to go to a music file and telling it to play it and telling it to use Music as the default, but I cannot add a Music widget to my home screen, nor can I even see it in the list of apps.

So how can I get just that one thing back?

Can I just use the older CleanTool 1.0 script and just put that 1 line in to enable that one app? If so, which app is it?

Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Should be this package: com.htc.MusicWidget3D

edit the cleantool script and add this line:

adb shell pm enable com.htc.MusicWidget3D
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
I dug around and kinda came up with that same one, and I ran the script and it says it is enabled but even after rebooting it doesn't seem to work.

I think that because it is an HTC widget, you can only select it through Sense. I will see if I can figure a way around that, but it does not show up under the list of widget available to add to the home screen... Hmmm....

You can launch the Music app by hitting the play button on the headphones, and the widget pops up on the lockscreen even with the above app disabled. But whether that app is enabled or not, you cannot put a widget on the home screen. It has to be a Sense thing, and it isn't worth putting Sense back on, just to have that, you know?

So I will just live with it for now I guess...
[HTC Rezound] hellcatrydr:
How is this done?
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
No bueno for me, no root, but installed SU. Also didn't clean anything. Tried on Win7 64bit and Win8 64bit.
[HTC Rezound] b5fan:
But "REM " in front of the line. For example:

Original

adb ...

New

REM adb ...
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
If you disabled Sense and you are trying to use a Sense Widget... Nah... That aint gonna happen and you wont find a work around. Trust me on that one....

That sucks. Do you want help? If so post a screenshot of the script attempting to get root. Im sure this wont be very difficult to figure out. There are only a couple possibilities that could go wrong. Its not magic or anything, lol

-Scott
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
lol, yea I will post some stuff up probably Sunday night or Monday. I won't be near my computer for the next few days as I will be visiting family for my Birthday(Saturday) and Christmas.

Alright man, just let us know when you get time. Im sure its simple.

[HTC Rezound] fuzzynco:
accidently froze too much -- boot looping

How do I do I hard reset to restart?
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
A hard reset is a factory reset, done from the recovery menu

Turn off the phone

hold power + volume down

Select factory reset and you're back to the way the phone was when you bought it

This is usually something you only want to do when you're trying to clear up a problem that won't go away, or when you're returning the phone(which you shouldn't do because the phone is great)
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
You could also try reversing the script. Change everything you disabled to "enable" and run again.
[HTC Rezound] fuzzynco:
yeah, but since its boot looping will adb be able to talk to it?

Most recently, I tried to restore the 'desktop' (Sense 2.3.4)

from Ti backup on my Inc1.

Sense crashed during that and now its boot looping again. I guess I'll

skip that one and manually configure again :(.

I was able to successfully restore most of the system data

stuff, that one failed. Temp root has worked every time

I've tried it.

Out of curiosity, is pm disable what Ti uses to freeze apps?
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Duhhh.. Yeah, your right. If its boot looping you will not get an ADB connection long enough to Resolve.

As far as TI Backup... Not really sure on that one.
[HTC Rezound] vudu:
CDMA LTE switch

So I was out and about today and was in an LTE area, so decided to try and switch to CDMA/LTE mode (from CDMA Auto). This resulted in the phone rebooting. Then I tried just going to wireless settings to change the mobile network mode, but that resulted in a reboot also (and the LTE setting not sticking). Tried this several times and in different order (wireless settings and the *#*#4636#*#* settings).

It looks like getting rid of Sense also gets rid of something needed to change the CDMA/LTE settings. Came home, restored Sense, and am able to change the settings again.

Is this a known issue with de-sensing? Searched the thread and didn't see anything...

Thanks for the script, BTW!
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
I am able to switch between 4G and 3G in the network settings and I am de-sensed, so I don't think it is that. Must be something else... weird...
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Hmmm... IDK?
[HTC Rezound] shermanpat:
Troubles...

I haven't been able to get a number of the scripts to run for me. I am brand new to the Android world of things. I am use to use Scotts WM roms on my Touch Pro and loved them(you are the same scott right) I was sad when you had to stop.

I have tried a few V1's and 2.0 and 2.1.1 with each time getting the same error for what i recall. I posted a pic of my error when trying to temp root. Behind the CleanTool window it show that i was able to get ADB to recognize my device. I can do so both with the SDK(I installed along the way to see if that would help) and with ADB in the CleanTool(Used in uploaded jpeg).

Any pointers would be great. Thanks in advance! I am getting so tired of see all the extra verizon bloat and ads....
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Yep, same Scott...

Are you extracting the entire folder from the Zip file or are you running the bat file from inside the zip file?
[HTC Rezound] shermanpat:
I have used 7zip to extract the files and run them from the folder.

---------- Post added at 01:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 PM ----------

I am very excited to run your roms again and also to have you on the "RED" side of the phones now...
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
I dont know whats wrong then because the error your getting is indicating the ADB and other files cannot be found. If you are running this from your desktop and you extracted all the files to a folder and then ran it from that folder that would indicate the files disapeared.

Maybe delete the folder and extract it from the zip file again?
[HTC Rezound] shermanpat:
Well bummer then.

I just re-downloaded the file from your site, UnZipped using both 7zip and Win7 and get the same out come. I am thinking it must be this laptop I will have to try when i get to work and have other machines to use.

Thank you for your time.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
The only other plausible theory I have is that some sort of firewall or A/V product is blocking? But most know that adb is not a virus.

Try on another machine and let us know.

-Scott
[HTC Rezound] shermanpat:
I only have MSE running right now and basic firewall on.

As for A/V That is what i do for work so i have tons of different programs for A/V IO devices and other things.

I will try on a different machine tomorrow. Thanks.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Try opening a command prompt cd'ing to the directory and running the script. Windows could be using another working directory and causing it not to find adb. That's the root of the problem. If it still doesn't work do a "PATH=%PATH%;<WHEREVER YOU UNCOMPRESSED THE SCRIPT>" that should make sure adb is found.

ADB sees my device but when ibrun the tool its saying adb didn't ack.. Killing server..? I need the newest sdk? The one for 4.0.x?

Lbiniusc
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
that is weird. I used this tool and "desensed" partially and removed all of what I considered bloat and no problems using lte on/off app.

I then completely desensed using the htcsupertool because I'm using adw right now and still no problems switching between them.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Ahahahahah! Thats what I like to hear! :D

Yeah, I am not sure why he had that issue :confused:
[HTC Rezound] lbiniusc:
Any idea why mine won't work?

Lbiniusc
[HTC Rezound] shermanpat:
I was checking that ADB was working by Shift+Right click Open CMD from here option in the CleanTool unziped folder. Would that be the same? Are you saying use the CMD to execute the CleanTool script?

I am going to be able to try from a different computer here in about an hour.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
When you install the Android SDK it's probably in your path now. Copy ADB.exe from your install of the android SDK into the uncompressed cleantool folder. That should get you.

---------- Post added at 08:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 PM ----------

Yup, run it right from a command prompt. If for some strange reason it doesn't work, copy/paste the full output so we can see the errors.

*In a DOS Prompt to copy/paste, right click, choose mark, then highlight everything you want. Hit Enter, this will copy what you've highlighted, then paste it in a post or into notepad and attach the output here.
