Hey guys,

Please don't kill me if this has been asked before - spent the whole afternoon cruising threads and searching for the answer.

My current set up:

S-off Eng hboot

CleanROM 4.5 (just flashed after a full wipe)

No recovery from backups (TiBU)

GB firmware patch

CW recovery (latest)

I patched because I s-offed last night at midnight. Thank god it went off without a hitch. But I'd like the new firmware, since I'm s-off. I have found no links or flashing instructions. Can I get some leads?

My main concern is avoiding any RUU (c'mon, just finished installing all my apps back) and confirming that having the Eng hboot won't bork my phone when I do flash the firmware.

I am fairly experienced & comfortable with ADB and fastboot.

Thanks in advance for any help.
[HTC Rezound] bvjens31:
Not sure on most of that, but one thing I really would recommend is that if you don't have a recovery installed, flash one! Might save some headaches down the road. Good luck man.
[HTC Rezound] WookieFan:
I edited my post to reflect the recovery I use.
[HTC Rezound] prdog1:
Sorry but running the RUU is how you update the firmware. Eng boot is not compatible with ICS firmware but causes no problem in flashing update. and CWM recovery is not recommended on Rezound due to charging and other issues.
[HTC Rezound] NAU420:
So are you saying if we are s-off and flashed the newest ICS Hboot and Radios, that I did it wrong? I did the whole s-off thing when it first came out v.01 and never flashed the new ICS RUU. I just flashed the new Hboot with Radios. I just did the wife's phone with the newest s-off Hboot and updated to the newest ICS Hboot and Radios. I did flash both phones with the new ICS firmware. But I'm having very slow speeds with my phone and not hers. I did post on the Hboot and Radio forum asking why. I was ok until I flashed the newest CleanRom. Not sure if I did something wrong, but the wife's phone is kicking some 3g, 4g a$$. I only get about 1/4 of her speed and not just 3g or 4g, but also wifi.
[HTC Rezound] prdog1:
If you flashed ICS radios to GB firmware you may have corrupted radio partitions.
[HTC Rezound] NAU420:
So should I retry flashing the ICS Hboot and Radio, or just start over with a clean ICS RUU?

Edit: if my Hboot is 2.25 I should be on ICS firmware right?
[HTC Rezound] prdog1:
Flash ICS RUU and while stock factory reset in hboot. Then flash JB-hboot and recovery unless you want stock hboot. Factory reset will reformat radio partitions if they are corrupted. Has to be done on stock hboot. If you do RUU, JB hboot and recovery in that order no need to unlock. If you keep stock hboot need to flash recovery with flashable zip or will have to unlock to use fastboot.

Even though you have ICS hboot you still have GB firmware now and ICS radios are not compatible. That is what is causing the problem. Reflashing GB radios works sometimes from what I have heard. I always upgrade. I never downgrade so I don't know.
[HTC Rezound] NAU420:
Just to make sure, the JB hboot is the ICS 2.21 one right and do you where I can get a zip file of recovery?
[HTC Rezound] prdog1:
Yes it is 2.21. Works fine flashed over 2.25 stock hboot. If flashing Jb hboot it is actually easier to flash recovery in fastboot since you are already there. Less steps. Here is flashable.

S-Off fail/SD card croaked -- panic getting phone back

:confused:

OK, y'all --

I feel like an idiot, but I'm really stuck. Any help you can give a poor acolyte for making a noob mistake (though I haven't figured what it was yet) is most appreciated.

I'm in a blind panic. Tried to S-Off my phone. Wouldn't take after many tries. Then the phone reported the SD card had failed. Had no choice but to disconnect.

The SD card really is bad. Can't get it to format.

Phone is stuck at the JuoponBear screen with the green arrow pointing down. Can't get a nandroid restore to take. It does respond to ADB via fastboot. I've been able to get Amon Ra 3.15 back on the phone. But no-go with a Nandroid restore.

How can I get a functioning phone again? Do I need to run the ICS leak RUU? If so, how do I get back to root (I last did it months and months ago off GB)?

I was running CleanROM 4.5 Pro. Dearly want to get back to it. Any help is most appreciated. Likewise, please point me to any other forums that may help.
[HTC Rezound] prdog1:
Relock and run RUU. Reflash recovery and flash rom. Get another sd card and try s-off again. Don't give up and let HTC beat you. :D :cool:
[HTC Rezound] jldeitch:
Failed S-Off -- which RUU

Is there an EXE version of the ICS leak RUU, or am I better off running back to the GB version on the CleanROM site? Finally (I hope) is it easier to S-Off via the GB RUU?

At least relocking is easy to do...
[HTC Rezound] prdog1:
If you are gonna do it might as well do it all at the same time. Go straight from ICS RUU to rom to s-off and be done. Same job either way but you will have to do the upgrade all over again eventually. Only difference in Control Bear is the JB_hboot they flash for you at the end. There is an exe somewhere but no need for it as long as you can hboot it. This is faster RUU download.

Need to use ICS version Control Bear after ICS RUU

[HTC Rezound] NAU420:
Thanks for your help, I just fastboot the recovery after running the ICS RUU leak. I just set up the phone and all seems to be good. My 3g is just under 2mb and my wifi is 19.5mb. So it seem to work, thanks again for your help and thank you Scott for the rom.
[HTC Rezound] jldeitch:
Makes sense. I've not done an RUU from a ZIP file -- last time, I ran the EXE. How does this trick work -- put it on the SD card and flash from recovery?
[HTC Rezound] prdog1:
Just rename PH98IMG, put on sd card and flash in hboot. Phone must be locked.
[HTC Rezound] jldeitch:
Failed S-Off -- which RUU

Well, the good news is that the phone relocked and RUU seems to have taken. It told me press power to reboot from hboot, and it came back up with what appears to be a stock ICS ROM.

Android v4.0.3

Sense v3.6

Kernel v3.0.16-gd0049f1

Broadband v1.22.10.0421r,1.22.10.0424r

Build v3.14.605.5

What are the next steps -- to unlock the phone, put Amon Ra on it, re-establish su and run the ControlBear software again? Run the ControlBear software with it in its locked condition?

Just get it back to unlocked with a recovery so I can restore my apps with TB and just live with S-On?, knowing I'll have to run an RUU when the final ICS comes out?

Thx...
[HTC Rezound] prdog1:
Unlock the phone, put Amon Ra on it, re-establish su by flashing Cleanrom and run the ControlBear software again.

or

Just live with S-On knowing I'll have to run an RUU when the final ICS comes out and still unlock, put Amon Ra on it, re-establish su by flashing Cleanrom
[HTC Rezound] RomsWell:
Pr and many others have said several times that the sooner u s off the better. They may find a way to patch that exploit via one of the upcoming ruu's and though it seems like a hassle now it will be even worse when u have a s on phone in a soff community. Though if u read up alot learn a few scripts get 7 zip maybe fire up adb then u can still keep up. But at that point the wire trick is much easier......
[HTC Rezound] mykpfsu:
Mine will charge to 100% while having just a normal battery (though this was charging from my computer).

Two questions I had (I make no guarantee they are not stupid) are, is it supposed to say "No Service" everywhere? I mean it works to call numbers and receiver calls. Just wondering if its kinda the same thing with the data arrows on the 4g icon (yes I am barely smart enough to turn on data)?

Also is there a way to stop the home screens from spinning like the Wheel of Fortune when you swipe too hard?

this is my theory too. I'm sure all of us aren't using the 1% battery mod either

I've had BT issues on almost all htc hardware. HTC uses a different BT stack than most and it can be buggy. I have had it happen once on this ROM, but its happened on stock, on my tbolt, on my hd7...
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Oh yeah, that too :eek:

Sounds like App and ICS clash issues. Check with App developer and see what they say?

Strange it worked for me just fine. I screen shot settings. then used Gallery to set it as background.

I agree with you on this.

Official = Holly **** thats wierd! Unofficially = Your phone is possessed!!

Battery is as battery does. Some people see a weird non complete charge while others dont. I dont so I cant even start trying to troubleshoot. Im as lost as you guys on this one :confused:

Aint that the truth!

Sign into it using WiFi!

I knew it worked when I tested!
[HTC Rezound] mykpfsu:
I know I'll feel stupid after asking this, but how do I get my Verizon put back on the phone (if I'm using 2.0)? Thinking this may solve my "No service" message, even though I have service.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Version 2.0 is no longer supported. Sorry.
[HTC Rezound] mykpfsu:
Nevermind, snagged the nexus one from the market. Anyone have an idea why it says "No service" like for instance at the top of the lock screen where it should say "Verizon Wireless"? Thanks
[HTC Rezound] nrage23:
It did that to me and I went to settings and turned of mobile network. Then turned the network back on again and it never happened again.
[HTC Rezound] Caladus:
Same with me, it's the same with any BT connection. The first time works fine, but then a reboot is required if you disconnect it.
[HTC Rezound] Travar1410:
yep, just tested out going back to GB cleanROM 2.1.. annnndddd? my charge light goes green.. so, something is up with our devices not liking the ICS or something. i dunno why
[HTC Rezound] Caladus:
I've never had it happen on stock. It must be the new kernel. Eh, who knows?
[HTC Rezound] DbZ Gokuu:
I was seeing the "no service" too. It would only happen when my phone booted weird. I'd push the power button and it would immediately show the "HTC quietly brilliant" screen instead of the normal "HTC" first. Then my phone would boot really fast. I fixed it by turning off fastboot. Also helped my charging issue somewhat.
[HTC Rezound] mykpfsu:
Tried turning Mobile Network off, shutting it down and turning back on. Didn't work. But I appreciate the help.

S-Off fail/SD card croaked -- still all kinds of problems

:mad::(:eek:

Well, I got Amon Ra on the phone, but things went awry from there. If I put CleanROM 4.5 and the appropriate ph98img.zip in the root folder of the SD card, it won't boot into recovery. Instead, it tries to install the ph98img.zip from hboot. If I use an SD card w/o the ph98img.zip or no SD card at all, I get the hboot menu where I can choose recovery. When I do so, it reboots into Amon Ra.

Obviously, that's a problem. Until I can get past the autoloading of the ph98img.zip, I'm hosed. And I'm getting really, really frustrated, having spent hours I don't have this weekend dealing with the fallout from that bad SD card. I absolutely have to have a functional phone by tomorrow am for my job, and I'm getting more than a little worried.

So I can't get CleanROM to load. I can't get the phone to reboot into recovery via ADB, either -- it keeps running to hboot and trying to update itself. I'm stuck with stock ICS leak.

The only thing I can think of is to put my last nandroid backup onto an SD card, get back into Amon Ra using that SD card w/o a ph98img.zip in place and try to restore from there. But I'm afraid that even if that works, I'll have the same problem I had before -- no way to get into recovery if the ph98img.zip is in place. Which means no S-Off and no way to upgrade to any future versions of CleanROM.

Help...
[HTC Rezound] prdog1:
You have to remove PH file always once you boot rom. Remove it and flash rom in recovery. Then add kernel PH zip back and flash it in hboot and rboot to rom. Once you have rom you can use power menu to access recovery or bootloader. Once you are up delete PH file again.

Can't put Rom and PH on sd card at same time till you have rom up and can pick where you want to go first with power menu.

S-Off fiasco -- back to functional

Some more progress. I now have CleanROM 4.5 back on the phone. Getting an HTC services error message when it boots, but I think that's related to the HTC weather widget, which I don't use anyway.

The Control Bear software won't recognize the phone. If I'm in hboot or fastboot, it reboots and CleanROM loads. If I'm in CleanROM, it tells me to install drivers and software and try again.

At this point, I've been able to restore my apps and am basically functional -- back to where I was before I started with S-Off. Any suggestions on what to do now? I'm definitely discouraged, and thinking it may be that I'm destined to be the last S-On person in an S-Off world <melodramatic sigh>...
[HTC Rezound] prdog1:
I did with it hooked to Cleanrom and kept restarting Control Bear till it recognized. I had the same error. Could try reboot pc and starting Control Bear again. Some said that helped.
[HTC Rezound] WookieFan:
Thanks for the info - I am aware of the pros and cons of cwm, but have made corrections to deal with everything except the battery issues.

So now I am gathering that I will have to s-off again after I update the firmware (via "RUU" flashing thru hboot as PH98IMG.zip). That kind of sucks. It's been quite a road to travel to gather all this info - can't get firmware without RUU, but then you need to s-off again.I reverted to a GB ROM to have ControlBear work properly, so we'll see how this goes after the PH98IMG.zip is flashed. Here we go...

(at least I'll have practice for the actual OTA)
[HTC Rezound] prdog1:
RUU will not change S-off status and GB/ICS rom is irrelevant. Control Bear is firmware specific only in the fact that it decides what hboot you get at the end. The base programs are the same. Just wipes recovery. Reflash ICS JB_hboot and recovery.
[HTC Rezound] jldeitch:
I'll try again, but not this weekend. Worn out with it all. One remaining headache before having a fully functional phone -- the email app in CleanROM won't sync with either of the two Exchange servers I need to access. Had no issues prior to reloading CleanROM. If I could just my email back, I'd be good to go. Says it can't sync. Checked settings -- they're correct. Rebooted. No effect. W/o email, I'm still kind of hosed...
[HTC Rezound] prdog1:
There is an answer to that one in the threads somewhere. Check this thread and the DE thread. Scott may remember. I don't use it so I haven't kept up with it.
[HTC Rezound] WookieFan:
You're the best - doing so now. Sorry to have gone so off topic with this. Driving myself nuts trying to get my firmware updated...

Have the ICS jb_hboot ready to flash via hboot, once I am done. I'll use Hasoon's tool to flash recovery.

Thanks again for your patience and help.
[HTC Rezound] prdog1:

Just as a reminder, when you run Control Bear remember to right click it and "Run as Admin" if not you will get that "Install divers and etc...." I just S-Off'd today myself right from CleanRom.
[HTC Rezound] destro158:
If you are having troubles with controlbear seeing your phone, try a stock rooted ROM instead. I downloaded one from Scott's site http://www.scottsroms.com/downloads.php?do=cat&id=11

It fixed exactly that problem you are mentioning when I used it versus a CleanROM. You may have to use a patch to get it to work on the ICS firmware.

Edit: be sure to follow Jimi's advice first about running as admin.
[HTC Rezound] jhasty01:
You S-OFF'd with software and no cable? Or you didn't need stock Rom..? Both?
[HTC Rezound] DroidTemplar:
Something to check is to see if you have maxed out on mobile devices for Outlook. To check, access Outlook through PC browser, Go to Options -> Mobile Devices. There may be a security flag on too many mobile devices. Use the "Remove Mobile Device from List" hotlink to remove any obsolete devices (trail of old ROMs from a swapping addiction?). May fix if this is your problem.

Mobile Device htcvigor is listed in my Outlook profile.

Alternate Kernels​

I have created a flashable 3.13.607.5 Kernel and a flashable 3.14.605.5 Kernel for the ROM.

Some people feel that the 3.13.607.5 kernel gave better battery and cooling than the latest kernel.

Feel free to download and test for yourself!

These are in old school method as to make one simple step for everyone. This also resets mainver to 1.00.000.0 :D

Instructions

Download to root of SD Card

Reboot to Recovery

Flash Zip

Phone will reboot to hboot

Press power one time so it will scan the SD Card

Install boot.img when prompted

Reboot when prompted

Downloads are in post #2!

Please report your findings!

Thanks,

Prevent phone from sleeping???

Anyone know how to prevent the phone from sleeping in this ROM? In GBE it was under the power options, in this ROM is seems to be where?

The problem is that when the phone sleeps I loose ALL 3G and 4G when it wakes, and I have to go into mobile networks and toggle it to 3G then back to 4G and then it will only stay on 3G.

To prevent this from happening in GBE i never set the phone to sleep, and that solved the issue.

Anyone?
[HTC Rezound] DroidTemplar:
In CR4.3Pro;

There is a "Stay Awake" in Home -> Settings -> Develop Option. But the menu says applies during charging.

There is a "Sleep" in Home -> Settings -> Display. One of the Sleep choices is Never Turn Off.

Good luck,

That last option refers to keeping the display permanently on.

Exchange issue -- possible solution

After way too much time abusing Google, I may have found one.

First, I deleted all my Exchange ActiveSync accounts.

Second, I went into the Calendar Storage app and cleared out the data. Then I rebooted.

Third step was to log into Facebook and tell it to NOT sync contacts with my phone. Then I logged out of Facebook.

Fourth step was to log into Twitter, then exit. I did not remove the account.

Then I went into Accounts. Twitter was there, and I told it to not sync. I added Facebook, told it to not sync contacts and told it not to sync.

I rebooted again.

This time, I didn't get the process com.htc.bgp has ended message when the system loaded. I tried to install an Exchange ActiveSync account, and it appears to be working.

I don't know if all of these steps are necessary. Honestly, after all the time lost to working this one through -- and bugging poor PRDog to pieces -- all I care about is that things appear to be back to normal.

Ironically, the source for all these ideas came from a Droid Eris forum. Here's a link to that page: http://bit.ly/aGFW29.

[HTC Rezound] Scott:
My first idea is you did not flash the kernel. Please review the op in its entirety and tell us what method you used and what your firmware version is.

Sounds good. Would love to hear your feedback.

No, just follow the instructions in post #2.

Not shocked to hear that. I dont recommend hot boots. They are good for some things but for general usage you should do a normal reboot with fastboot turned off.
[HTC Rezound] destro158:
I don't normally do hot boots, but I first noticed this issue when I did a wipe battery stats from the tweaks menu. Manually doing a hot reboot from the reboot menu confirmed my suspicion. Normal reboot brings up bluetooth fine (even with Fastboot enabled in the power menu).
