so can s-on man i do adb all the time and i have s-on
[HTC Amaze 4G] Bronyr:
actually, no, after numerous attempts. It tells me to unlock bootloader, which I already have....
[HTC Rezound] nightwings:
You can now unlock your rezound's bootloader at http://htcdev.com/.

Just follow the steps on htcdev.com, and at the last step you will have a factory reset. So, please make sure you do a backup before attempting this unlock trick. (Thanks to NilsP for pointing this out)

Bootloader unlock will grant perm root and possibility of flashing customized roms.

Note: S-on remains

BE AWARE:

bootloader unlock will VOID your rezound's WARRANTY, I am not responsible for any damage it may cause :o

[INSTRUCTIONS]:

[Prerequisites:]

HTC Sync (Windows Only)

HTC Super Tool

Enable USB Debug on Rezound

Use Charge Only mode when connected to PC

Exit HTC Sync on PC

[Steps:]

1. Go to HTCDEV website: http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/

2. Click on "Begin Unlock Bootloader" (create a user if you don't have one)

3. Use HTC Super Tool in the [Prerequisites] to generate your token. (Or, alternatively, follow the instructions step 1 through step 10 on htcdev.com)

4. In step 10, when posting your token, make sure you remove the blanks preceding each line

5. After you receive your Unlock_code.bin in email, follow step 11.

6. Now your rezound should reboot and you have your bootloader unlocked.

Now you are unlocked. You can follow the following threads to obtain perm root, flash recovery, flash new kernel, and overclock.

[Guide] You are Unlocked. Now What?

[GUIDE] Super-noob guide to unlocking, rooting, and flashing Ziggys kernel

7. After unlocking your bootloader, use this one to get perm root:

One Click Perm Root (Thanks to NilsP)

8. Flash the recovery if you need.

[Recovery] Amon Ra style vigor

[Recovery]ClockworkMod Recovery 5.5.0.4

scrosler kindly provides a tool to flash the recovery or boot img.

You can find it here

9. Flash Deodexed ROMs:

Clean ROM 1.0 from scrosler

RezROM v1.0 Beta from lllboredlll

Questions about flashing ROMs:

Possibility of flashing ROMs (Thanks to scrosler)

To uninstall the bloatware, try ROM Toolbox
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
Umm

WOW ... how exactly do you do this, and more importantly, can it be re-locked if you need to do a warranty exchange?
[HTC Rezound] nightwings:
yeah, it does not show up in the list. But you can just go and do it. The Vivid forum is saying the same happened to their model.
[HTC Rezound] azgoofball:
Dammit! I almost jumped out of my seat when I saw this post! Booo!!! :D
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
And it worked. I am now "UnLocked"

And factory reset. Forgot about that
[HTC Rezound] kidwolf908:
Sooo.....

What's the deal here? We got a free pass from HTCDev?

Now we have perm root and can flash roms from stock recovery?!?
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
So someone should be able to decompile the .bin it's passing to us and get us fully unlocked right..?? At least now we should be able to come up with some ROMS as is and full root...!!

---------- Post added at 12:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:36 PM ----------

Slow your roll....All we have is the ability to write to the system partition if I understand the "unlock" properly. S-ON still prevents rewriting the recovery partition. But perm root, yes.
[HTC Rezound] kidwolf908:
I mean I admit I'm excited, but I didn't say anything about CWM or a new recovery. Notice I said flashing roms from stock recovery, which is what this unlock should allow, correct?
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Touche..you caught me. I jumped the gun not you. Yes. We should be able to flash from stock recovery.

PS, thank nightwings for posting this!!!
[HTC Rezound] kidwolf908:
Shaweet.

I wonder if this is a fluke from HTCDev and if they will revoke it.

I hope not, this is like the flood gates opening for devs to start cooking roms :)
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Damn, now I wish I brought my USB cable to work with me today.
[HTC Rezound] ftmaniac948:
Where do u create the backup?

I'm living on a yellow submarine
[HTC Rezound] zwolf4444:
If I do this, does it mean that I won't be able to return my phone if I want to? (I'm still within the worry free guarantee)
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
You need an app like Titanium backup(which requires root), there are others but Titanium does a pretty complete job.

---------- Post added at 01:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:07 PM ----------

If you read the warning on htcdev.com it says that unlocking your phone may void certain warranty conditions. Usually if you need to return it you just put your phone back to stock or smash it on the curb and take the $50 hit in insurance ;-)
[HTC Rezound] azgoofball:
Ok, so someone let me know when they actually get a ROM installed and working! That would be awesome!
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
That's not correct. You *CAN* flash a recovery partition and then flash ROM's.

I even wrote a tool for the Evo 3D that will flash recovery for you. I will port it over tonight... Next step... Find a recovery, lol
[HTC Rezound] Clamster:
Awesome news
[HTC Rezound] Tachi91:
I put my token and removed the extra space (left Side) and got the email... Is there anything i should save and uploade???

I got the " Unlock_code.nin " but the email says its only for this perticular device
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Tonight :D :p
[HTC Rezound] fernando sor:
It really helps to read the thread before I act scrolls. Getting cocky I guess. All is good thanks
[HTC Rezound] paulhoop:
I was having problems getting root. Uninstall HTC sync (on PC).. Worked fine then.
[HTC Rezound] nightwings:
Got 4G back just now.

It went down for a while.
[HTC Rezound] *Madmoose*:
Trying to figure out WTH is going on. Think it's the software installed on this computer giving the issue but it's the only one I have available to me. Installed the 3 packages needed put the 3 files needed into C:\Android....open up a command prompt and cd\Android.

C:\Android>fastboot oem get_indentifier_token

...

(bootloader) [ERR] Command error !!!

OKAY [ 0.009s]

finished. total time: 0.009s

Gonna huck this PoS computer out the window soon.
[HTC Rezound] church101:
To make it Really easy just download the htc super tool and use it to do this it will get your token then u paste it on htcdev token spot it will then email u your unlock file save that to your super tool folder then hit anykey then follow the prompt on your phone. Done
[HTC Rezound] paulhoop:
I cut and pasted.. You have a spelling mistake in your command..

Identifier.. not indentifier. I believe
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Are you in fastboot mode when you go to bootloader?
[HTC Rezound] yoitsbry:
.

HTC Super tool v2 is what you are speaking of?
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Hehehe... So when can we expect a theme? I would like to start making request when you are ready :p
[HTC Rezound] OLDsJUNKIE:
Good eye! ;)
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
Took Token

Better safe than sorry, I took the token. But now I wait ... I am still not sure my phone isn't running hot :)

For all the rest of you brave enough to run ... I will read your updates with interest (and jealousy).
[HTC Rezound] fernando sor:
Have you flashed a Rom yet?
[HTC Rezound] jkc120:
So I tried to remove apps with "pm uninstall ..." which fails. Are there any free apps that can do the same thing as root explorer et al? Or is there a manual way of removing these apps? I am just sick of seeing them show up with updates in the market/etc. I'd prefer to remove them entirely. But I'm unsure if this is possible without a paid app.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
My own ROM in a few :D
[HTC Rezound] putney1477:
Will at least take the token when I go on break at 730. I HAVE TO, HAVE TO, HAVE TO, have my computer up and running while I am working....my luck unlocking the bootloader will fry my computer. 730 EST cant come fast enough!
[HTC Rezound] k_flan:
In case this wasn't answered... and it may have been. It did not delete my photos on the ext sdcard.
[HTC Rezound] jdk2:
and hopefully, a lot of us will right after you're done :D
[HTC Rezound] pagereborn:
have you guys noticed that HTC Rezound is not on the list of supporting devices?

I am wondering why it's working? :D
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
hehehe... I am planning on it. Got the thread all started. Shouldnt be but a few hours... Unless something catastophic happens... Which I doubt... But never rule out...
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
They prolly just did not upate the page yet. Im sure it will pop up soon.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Somehow in the process of pulling my card pre-unlock photos were pulled from my sd card. I'm thinking that's a mount issue completely unrelated to root/unlock. I keep all that stuff backed up anyway so it's no biggie.

Meanwhile, unlocked the bootloader, ran one-click root, flashed the Amon Ra style recovery, and currently doing my very first Nandroid backup on the Rezound. Might not have been quite so fearless if I hadn't spent most of the last year or so completely messing with my Incredible.

One notable thing, with 4G, resyncing exchange is VERY fast. I was completely operational (minus restored apps) with full exchange and google contacts/email/calendar/tasks in less than 15 minutes, and I have 1600+ contacts.

Hallelujah, brothers and sisters, we are home!
[HTC Rezound] nightwings:
Try ROM Toolbox.

It works perfectly for me.
[HTC Rezound] dezt818:
So heres what my rezound is doing now boot looping ever since i did a wipe dalvich cache with titanium do i have to use a ruu to return it back to normal i wiped everything using amon ra recovery and still a boot loop :(:confused:
[HTC Rezound] tryest:
It worked for me
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Thats bad. I would try an RUU zip file but you have to relock it before you can do that.

Before that though... what else have you tried to recovery from the boot loop?

Did you try Safe Mode?
[HTC Rezound] splatoid:
CWM

OK I know this is a rookie question. Which if any CWM would I use for this now.

Is there even one yet?

Thanks
[HTC Rezound] triton302:
I never thought I'd see the word "UNLOCKED" on the bootloader on my Rezound. Worked perfectly, now it's just a matter of getting S-Off so we can flash kernels and such.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
I do not beleive there is a CWM for this as of yet. I am sure you will see it soon but right now it looks like amonra is the way to go.
[HTC Rezound] qudwis:
i just unlocked and did one click perm-root.

if i re-lock bootloader, would i loose perm-root?

and can i get any instruction how to use

PH98IMG_Vigor_VERIZON_WWE_1.00.605.3_Radio_RS_0.93.00.0914r_3161C1_9K_NV_8k_1.12_9k_1.83_V_APT_release_216261_signed.zip file

to go back to stock? thanks :)
[HTC Rezound] nlitend1:
Another rookie question.... Does anyone know this about the fastboot token identifier?....If a key was generated and then that was submitted to the HTCDev site and successfully created the unlock key... is there any chance that i messed something up along the way? I guess i'm a little nervous of proceeding with the actual unlock and want to know if the unlock key i know have is 100% the right one. Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] Slacker101:
Probably not, you could try it if you wanted to. It's simple to unlock it again.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
You should not loose anything. Your phone will be locked in its current state.

If you got a toekn then you did it right.

The tokens are unique to each device so if you try to unlock with, lets say, my token or a token from an entirely differnet device it would simply throw an error and not let you do anything.
[HTC Rezound] dezt818:
Safe mode ? tell me about that and yeah ill relock it right now
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
To boot to safe mode you hold down the "Vol -" right as the OS starts to boot (Not to be confused with holding Vol - while phone is powering up), like during the animation. Does it even get that far?
[HTC Rezound] randpost:
little or most likely no chance for error. if you didn't paste the code correctly, it would have returned as invalid or too short, and you wouldn't receive the unlock code via email.
[HTC Rezound] civicsisedan:
Got bootloader unlocked.

Trying the one click I did not get root.

Kept saying adb out of date... and when it rebooted device it didn't do anything. No superuser.

Reran bat file and just says your device is rooted..

I just unzip and run the bat file whiles phones plugged in and on, correct???

Any help? Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] AndroidGraphix:
Ouch. That's not good. I went straight to Nandroid backup before I did anything. S-mode is something knew. Please post your results if that worked.
[HTC Rezound] nightwings:
“adb out of date” doesn't matter.

Did you enable USB Debug mode?

If it says rooted, then I think probably it is. Try to install superuser manually?
[HTC Rezound] dezt818:
it gets to the boot animation right after it stops at 4glte it boots back to the htc screen and keeps on doing it holding vol up or down ?
[HTC Rezound] dmeadows013:
Take off the back. Pull battery. Boot. Don't put back on. Keep back off for entire boot. Try this
[HTC Rezound] dezt818:
Nope same thing :(
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
ADB out of date can signify that ADB keeps getting killed before the processes are compeleted. If it happenes oin each command than it is a problem.

When I see that, at least from my POV, it generally indicated something silly like HTC Sync is running.

What does that trigger? Do you think his issue is network releated? I have heard of that ofr network releated boot issues. Is that what you are getting at?
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Are you holding vol - right when it hits the HTC screen, reight before the 4G LTE animation?
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Usually ADB out of date means that HTC sync or the Android SDK is causing a problem. I usually recommend checking HTC sync and/or copying ADB from the SDK over the one provided by whichever tool.
[HTC Rezound] wildfirewolf:
Only issue I've had since doing this is if I'm browsing the market on my laptop, it says I don't have any supported devices. Market still works fine on my phone itself though.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Correction....

When you see the 4GLTE anim, hold down the Vol - and the phone shoudl vibrate after about 15 to 30 seconds. That will indicate safe mode.
[HTC Rezound] Evo4gLI:
I keep getting an error during the HTC unlock process when I try to install Android SDK Platform-tools during step 5 of the process. I try to install it from SDK Manager, but it keeps saying "Failed to create directory C:/ Program Files (x86)/Android/android-sdk/temp" What am I doing wrong here?

Forget it, had to run as administrator. Should have known that.
[HTC Rezound] civicsisedan:
Thanks guys.

HTC sync was my problem with adb running out of date.

Exited out of htc sync and reran and it ran perfect.
[HTC Rezound] dezt818:
before the 4glte im pretty sure the os probaly cant load probaly any roms out there might help
[HTC Rezound] splatoid:
Its so nice I just froze a **** load of apps. Will remove them after Im sure there not missed...So Cool.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Yeah, I am kinda worried youa re right but its worth a shot.

Next step I would take is....

Relock and flash RUU.ZIP.

I have them on my site, both RUU and EXE.

Now you got me scared!

Where are you TeamWin??????????
[HTC Rezound] dezt818:
i know right :(

im pretty sure its that or im thinking boot.img im not sure ill give both a shot.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Let us know how it goes. You may be the first perma-soft brick and we will need to learn from this.

Another thought... and this is nothing more than a thought... May caus more damage than good...

You can always try just flashing boot.img.

Just erase all the other files out of the rom.zip file only leaving the boot.img.
[HTC Rezound] putney1477:
OK so now I am 100% paranoid about unlocking the phone. I was following the steps to a T, but got nervous so right after I plugged it into the USB, I unplugged it and pulled the battery to restart, well it bootlooped for about 20 min. Mind you I had to return a rezound a week ago because it bootlooped for hours, nothing helped....nothing at all. So vzw replaced it.

sigh....I know it seems easy...I'm jsut not used to HTC....I had 2 sammys, and I could root and hack them in my sleep. I know its just a new system. I didnt even want to unlock it yet. I just wanted to get the token in case HTC or verizon pulled the link. :(
[HTC Rezound] dezt818:
Next time ill make sure not to reboot when using titanium it was asking me to clear dalvik cache and thats where the problem started ill let you know in two hours currently at work :(

---------- Post added at 06:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:04 PM ----------

one more question when i use the ruu do i have to be in the os or what?
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Huh, what?

Wait, what... You rebooted while something was clearing cache? Hmmm... So this was not related to the recovery?

RUU can be ran from fastboot or OS. As long as it can get a hook on ADB to boot you to fastboot you are good. Otherwise manually go to fastboot.

Also, as far as being at work... I am too and I am dying here!
[HTC Rezound] lllboredlll:
get into recovery and wipe
[HTC Rezound] RED ZMAN:
Quick question, If I just want to get my unlock key right now, and NOT hard reset the phone, can I do so? I need to temp root and backup, but I may wait on doing the unlock for a bit to see if a non HTCdev method comes out so I don't lose my warranty. either way, I want to have my unlock key ready.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
getting the key voids it
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
He said he tried that already.
[HTC Rezound] RED ZMAN:
Thanks, I thought I read in here that it was voided if you used it.

I'm starting to wonder if I should even care about the warranty. I can afford a new phone if I want these days, and I could just cancel my insurance and go with Squaretrade.
[HTC Rezound] jski711:
Wow I don't check the boards all day and look what happens! Happy New year!
[HTC Rezound] Evo4gLI:
Or you could keep the insurance, and if something happens, take out the SD card, slam it on the ground and say it broke, and pay only 100 for a new one.
[HTC Rezound] lllboredlll:
If he is seeing the animation then the system is still there.....other option is factory reset in bootloader......I've stuck mine twice today and was able to wipe in recovery to get it back

Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Xparent Cyan Tapatalk
[HTC Rezound] dezt818:
yeah i wiped from the bootloader and amon ra recovery

now that i locked it its saying security warning when i try to factory reset it damn !
[HTC Rezound] phyba:
so the unlocking of my phone voids my insurance? i can't just pay the deductible and get a new phone if i brick my phone? thought that was the purpose of insurance. if i brick, i'll just drop it in some water
[HTC Rezound] con247:
It doesn't void insurance. Also, they will likely still honor your warranty.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Because it sees that you dont have the original image.

Did you flash RUU?
[HTC Rezound] wobedraggled:
Ok just got in and the unlocking of the bootloader went as smooth as could be, but now I am stuck trying to run the root tool.

Says waiting for device, any advice for something I could be missing

In charge only mode usb debug enabled.

Thanks a million

Edit: all fixed debugging got unticked somehow...
[HTC Rezound] Superguy:
I was under the impression that the warranty wasn't voided until the unlock was applied. Simply getting the unlock key didn't void it.
[HTC Rezound] jrsmith:
Not sure if I'm in the same boat as dezt818, but I figured I'd chime in here as well, since I also got stuck in a bootloop right after rooting with OneClickRoot and using Titanium Backup.

I was able to install Root Check after rooting and rebooting a few times (intentionally, to see if it would stick). I then installed Titanium Backup and used it to delete one of the stupid "reboot to recovery" apps, which doesn't actually work. I was in airplane mode at the time. Right after I did that, I turned off airplane mode, and it started rebooting. It would reboot, load sense, look for signal, then freeze and reboot.

If I took out the SIM, the bootloop would stop. As soon as I put it back in, it started again. Eventually I went into Amon Ra and wiped /data, and it stopped.

Hope that helps narrow down the potential issue.
[HTC Rezound] Evo4gLI:
I'm having an issue here....I've got my token and stuff, but I want to make one more backup before I unlock. I've gotten temp root before, but now when I run it, it tells me that the adb server is running out of date. I've even updated the adb application to the newest one from the platform I downloaded during the unlock process, but I still get the same problem. Any advice?

Forget it, got this one too....I'm a moron.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
That may be true, but your token that you send to them has your serial number an everything (scrambled) in it
[HTC Rezound] JasonJoel:
Only time I have had that happen to my HTC SYNC was running in the background (even though it was closed from the tray). Check that.

Jason
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Wow, ok. Good to know.

What are you saying? Applying for the token causes an issue?

This clearly states that yo uahve to unlock the device to possibly void parts or all of the warranty. Generating the token will not cause you to void your warranty if that is what you are implying.
[HTC Rezound] couchmonkey:
haha was stumped as well, was going through this post and saw your response. yeah i forgot to check it after doing the unlock.
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
Htc sync causes so many issues... I am glad I just had the basic drivers installed already and didn't need HTC sync at all.
[HTC Rezound] agentofchaos:
anybody try this through a virtual box yet? im running ubuntu 10.04, vbox is XP
[HTC Rezound] oxlong27:
Will this work on Linux?
[HTC Rezound] iowabeakster:
Well this is great news for you all. I don't have a rezound (but thinking about it).

Does the htc unlocker ONLY work on windows computers? (I'm a linux user)

I saw the link that Nils posted for the one-click perm root, is that a windows app too?

I've got windows XP in Virtual Box, but I know nothing about using windows (forgotten anything I did know). Does anybody know if all of this will work running XP in a v.box?

I've got a Dinc, which I rooted with unrevoked in linux. For the rezound, would that need the additional windows drivers that I have read about (but know nothing about)?

I can already access my phones storage through USB in the Windows v.box...

Thanks for any answers or advice.

Edit... I read the first 20 pages or so and saw nothing about linux users. Then after I posted I noticed the two posts just previous to mine. lol
[HTC Rezound] chad0989:
Works fine in linux. Just use the linux fastboot binary and run it as root.

Edit: I meant fastboot, not adb
[HTC Rezound] putney1477:
Ok I am in the middle of unlocking...and ready to install android sdk platform tools

there are a bunch of other things already checked off to be installed...like, android 4.0.3 (API 15) and documentation, platform, samples, system image, APIs and sources.

Do I leave them checked or uncheck them and only install android sdk platform tools?
[HTC Rezound] oxlong27:
I'm a bit of a Linux noon could u tell me exactly how to do it? I cant seem to get an unlock tocken and to run as root I just type Su in a terminal right? I'm using Linux mint by the way
[HTC Rezound] agentofchaos:
nope just need tools, trust me, saves a lot of dwnloadin time
[HTC Rezound] iowabeakster:
Thanks.

Oh, so this is process is just running some ./adb commands(after getting key from htc)? I thought it was some windows .exe file that you downloaded from htc.

How about the one click perm root?
[HTC Rezound] chad0989:
You only really need the platform tools
[HTC Rezound] yoitsbry:
.

after completing the HTCdev.com process you need to recheck the USB debug icon.... after the wipe it unchecks it =)
[HTC Rezound] chad0989:
Its fastboot commands, my typo. But yeah, thats all it is. You get the token, run it through htc site, they send you the Unlock_code.bin and do:

./fastboot﻿ flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
[HTC Rezound] bozidar0:
Anyone think it was the petition we signed that made HTC cave in?
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
We can still flash back to stock using the RUU correct? Regardless of what we've deleted, what recoveries we've added, and if we are rooted etc? Thanks!
