Place ROM on SD Card

Reboot to recovery

Wipe all data / Factory reset - Do not restore anything from back up. Do not ask in the thread if you can. You will be referred back to here!

Flash ROM

ROM will boot to fastboot when installation is complete

Press Power to install the kernel / boot.img

Reboot

Profit!

My phone has never installed the kernel/boot.img. It just goes to fastboot but it says no .img is found.

So i'm guessing i'm still running the stock kernel. How would I get it to load the new kernel?

Current Kernel version is:

3.0.13-gaf15497-dirty

htc-kernel@u18000-build-144 #1

[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
See, that concerns me... It looks like there may still be some bugs here... It should not ask for SU to send a pic.
[HTC Rezound] stoffelck:
sounds like you got it. remember the developer menu in AMON is handy. Also adb and fastboot are they way to go. Get familiar with the commands and you will be fearless .
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
Coolio. But the question remains that I still am not sure what zip file I need to have on hand. LOL Once I have that hand, I think I am golden.
[HTC Rezound] survivalist9167:
Would love to give this a spin, but I'm a little nervous incase I need to revert to GB or my nandroid. Can't seem to find a good writeup on this. Can someone point me in the right direction please?
[HTC Rezound] rockingondrums:
Wait, you ran scrosler's desense script on the CleanROM? I'm just curious why you did this rather than just flashing Senseless? Is it because it's a beta?
[HTC Rezound] stoffelck:
ok fr example when i installed this rom it DID NT create the phxximg.zip file. it booted to bootloader and when i hit power it didnt find one. UH OH i said to myself.

So I opened up the zip and copied the boot.img over via fastboot.

But had it written the file and flashed properly, when I get settled in the ROM I always mount sd card and move the freshly created phxximg.zip from card to my PC and rename it cleanrom2.2b1phxximg.zip and keep it. then i know which phimg goes with what rom.
[HTC Rezound] maniac2k:
Just make sure you install the kernel. Wether its ph98img.zip in or boot.img. I don't think it matters what order you so it in.
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
Once someone points me at the right file I think we will have the process down...

1) Boot into recovery, restore Nandroid backup

2) Toggle USB and put the stock GB zip file(with correct name) onto root of SD card.

3) Go to Dev tools and reboot into HBoot

4) When HBoot sees file and asks to flash, say YES.

5) Reboot into your restored Nandroid.

If that is wrong, tell me, and if anyone has that zip file, that is the only part missing here. Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] stoffelck:
no Scott reverted back to sense phone and contacts. didnt have the ICS dialer and contacts which I like. Seemed easier than copying it over Also I was curious as to what it would do. it made it nice.
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
All I need is that actual file and I think I am good to go. Who gots it? hehe
[HTC Rezound] maniac2k:
The zip is either in the Rom or kernel you want to use.
[HTC Rezound] stoffelck:
correct you got it.

one caveat is that the rom you have may or may not have made a ph98img.img for you. in that case you will have to fastboot flash the boot.img. Most devs have been doing this lately and should be commended for it.
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
Right, but there has to be a download somewhere for the stock GB ROM that the phone comes with. But with a gazillion ROMs, kernels, mods and tools flying around every 15 minutes, it quickly gets confusing.

All I need is the stock GB kernel, in a zip file that hboot will recognize and just flash. LOL

All I want is the stock GB kernel in that file, not the whole stock ROM that will wipe out everything on the phone.

---------- Post added at 02:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 PM ----------

Here is what I have now.

Stock GB ROM that the phone came with from VZW. I unlocked it with the HTC tool, perm rooted, install Amon Ra and debloated it. That is what my Nandroid is based on, so all I need is the stock kernel in a zip file for HBoot to flash with if I have to restore my Nandroid.

Sorry if I am making this more complicated than it needs to be...
[HTC Rezound] maniac2k:
I think you should take up your search for a stock gb kernel to the general forum. I shouldn't be in this thread. Thanks.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Not sure.

Typo.

Sorta... The HTC variants are present but the dock doesnt look for those so yes they are missing but not really because they are missing :p

Oh, its fast.

Thats a mistake! I have seen that happen before. One time I hit over 2K FPS and scored higher than the Asus Tablet. I ran it again for verification and it was back to normal, lol

I have sent approximately 10 MMS with this ROM and set up Exchange an equal number of times before uploading. Each time it worked as it should sans one weird dialog box setting up Exchange.

Other people have reported weird SU activity. I am completely unable to reproduce an issue concerning random SU request. It simply has not happened to me. Ever! But... I am not saying it wont happen to you.

Choose wisely...

-Scott
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
That's not why I am here. I am simply making sure that before I install this ROM, that I have my "backup plan" in place, which a couple other members have voiced concerns about as well.

It's a simple enough request, someone reading this has the answer and link. We want to try this ROM, but need a stock kernel to flash back to in case it bombs, that's all.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Yes, you are making this very complicated.

Here is what you do to restore.

1. Restore Nandroid back up.

2. Flash the boot.img from the ROM you were running which ever method that you used to flash it the first time.

You may want to remember to delete PH98IMG.zip from root of SD card immediately after installing this ROM.
[HTC Rezound] survivalist9167:
I'm running BAMF 1.02 right now. So..

If ill make my nandroid then flash senseless ICS..

If I need to revert to BAMF 1.02.....

1- Flash my nandroid

2- Find the kernel from BAMF 1.02 and place on SD card

3- Get into hboot

4- Flash kernel

That's it?
[HTC Rezound] xjedi:
Does this ROM have the 3MP camera limitation?
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
Ok, cool, I will give it a try then. If MMS and Exchange are working, those were the two big ticket items for me. :-)

Thanks!

Question, can you put the stock GB kernel in a .zip file on your downloads page, so that if any of us trying your ROMs need to revert back to GB, the file is easy to find and grab?
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Yo dont need a stock kernel you need a matching boot.img from the ROM you are on now. Unless of course you are still on stock ROM. But you will still need a stock boot.img.

Didint you flash 2.0? You seemed to revert just fine from that didint you? Or was that another guy?
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
Ok, but where does that file come from? I am not on a ROM, I am on the stock OS from VZW. I know that if I came from BAMF or something, I use the file from that.

But I am stock, just unclocked and rooted, so where do I get the file from that? And do I just zip it, name it and put it on the SD card?
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Not that simple. Its not the kernel, its the boot.img (which houses the kernel). And it has to match the ROM you are restoring FROM.

Con 24 has a great thread that explains all this in General. He also has example zip files that you can use. Read that before flashing. I dont want to cloud this walking someone through restore an old ROM. It will get too complicated real fast. Thats why I asked Con to make the thread about boot.img files.
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
I went back to stock because of the Exchange thing, but it was more work to relock the phone, use RUU, then unlock it again, install recovery and all that and then restore the Nandroid.

I was looking to make that faster and easier, that's all. :-)
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Well, thats easy then... If you are bone stock then just use the stock rooted boot.img that I have on my site.

Pull the boot,img file from the sotck rooted ROM and then flash it using cleantool or place it in the ph98img.zip that comes with this ROM and save it as a back up.

EDIT: Yeah, if you did RUU method you took the longest route possible.

I will recap for you real quick then I am done with reverting...

0. Nandroid what you have

1. Flash this ROM and PH98IMG.zip.

2. Take the boot.img file from stock rooted ROM that I posted and put it in the PH98IMG.zip from THIS ROM that was placed on SD card during boot and store it for safe keeping when the time comes to revert.

To revert

3. Restore nandroid

4. flash modified ph98img.zip

Done!
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
You're on top of it Scott! Luckily I didn't start customizing CleanROM when I flashed it last night since I'll be flashing this once it finishes downloading.
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
Ok, rather than muddy the waters any more, I will just use the longer method of relock, RUU, unlock, root and recovery and then restore Nandroid.

Sorry for the confusion.
[HTC Rezound] maniac2k:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1425091
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Uhhh...

Just copy the boot.img from the stock rooted ROM into the PH98IMG.zip that this ROM places on your SD card. Thats it. Thats all you have to do.
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
Got it! Flashed the 2.1 ICS ROM, booting now. And downloading your stock rooted ROM. When it is done I will pull the zip file from the SD card, swap the boot image files and save it and store it in a safe place.

Sorry for being dense on this. LOL
[HTC Rezound] rockingondrums:
Whoops, I thought this was in the CleanROM thread. I'm reading every post in both this and that thread! :D
[HTC Rezound] Sleek69:
I really wanna use this but I can't find any decent looking weather widgets. Can't live without those beautiful sense widgets. :(
[HTC Rezound] survivalist9167:
Fancy widgets is better than sense.. Download in market
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
I am with you, I love them too. Go Launcher has a standalone weather widget that doesn't require the entire Go Launcher app.

And Scott, this seems awesome so far, my Exchange works now! Yay!

As you put out revisions to this ROM, we won't have to do factory data wipes and all that, right? As long as we are just going from 2.1 to 2.2 and so on, we just install it as an update and it keeps our apps and settings?
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Beautiful widgets does the job nicely.
[HTC Rezound] zonbal33:
a little off topic...

how in the heck did the razr get ICS before us? i mean how did they get a working version before us? they seem to have a complete, working ICS rom almost done. weres all the rezzy love.

[HTC Rezound] Deathbyfugu:
It's an OMAP processor and PowerVR SGX GPU - so basically just use Galaxy Nexus drivers and AOSP framework and bam - CM9. (An oversimplification but basically the idea)
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
Things look great so far. Only problems so far are preference. I want the stock AOSP experience, but the downside is that the stock widgets for ICS are mostly dog ****. There isn't a single decent mosic player widget, and none of the stock ones seem to show up on the lock screen when music is playing, so you have to go in, unlock, click on the widget which of course starts your playlist over from the beginning...

Other than that, the ROM itself seems solid so far.
[HTC Rezound] agentofchaos:
did you flash over or wipe?
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
Full data factory reset, then installed. The thing is that Sense does have some really nice widgets... And so when you go back to the basic stock ones, most of them suck. LOL
[HTC Rezound] :
They're safestrapped, dual-booting basically. No custom kernels, the radios are from stock still... battery blows on them, we're not behind, we're still ahead, by far.
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
And Beats audio doesn't work on this ROM for me. Says it is enabled, but the sound quality says that it doesn't work, as enabling it and disabling it doesn't change the sound at all... sigh....

The Equalizer app from the Market that used to work well, doesn't work either. Nothing so far seems to allow you to play with sound settings.

DSP manager has no effect.

So basically that part of the audio functionality is broken...

Was this tested?
[HTC Rezound] ninjabeaver:

[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
"Reverted: HTC Contacts, Phone, MMS, Settings and Email (For now)"

does this mean they will look like the sense apps? ugly, lol :D

Would like to know before I flash, I need some inverted themes in my life, i wish i knew how to. nah, what i need is MIUI :D:p
[HTC Rezound] hatchna:
You posted the mirror right when I get through on your site. Oh well. works either way.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Fully understandable. If someone ups to megaupload or something it is really impossible to tell what version it is. So if people are downloading old versions, that is bad.
[HTC Rezound] Piercing Heavens:
I was hesitant to unlock my phone but now I will definitely unlock my phone tonight for this. Thank you.
[HTC Rezound] mdisbrow:
I'm running cleanrom 2.0 now and want to flash this when I pull the battery out the use volumedown+power I get to the bootloader screen where it auto scans the sdcard and sees the boot.IMG and wants me to update. I only get two options from there update or don't then it makes me reboot if I check no. Am I doing something wrong I thought I did the boot.IMG after flashing the Rom but I can't get to recovery to flash it?!?
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
No you did nothing wrong... except left the ph89img.zip on your Sd card before you booted into fastboot.

I do it all the time. Boot to the working ROM and delete then flash... You will be fine.
[HTC Rezound] blueadept33:
I lost root when I used this. Superuser is there, I updated the binaries, yet when I try to run an app that requires root it never prompts for SU permission. Also when I tried to update busybox from market it says I am not rooted?

And thanks for the great work :)
[HTC Rezound] jmichaels1982:
You are king

I am not even using this rom yet, and i cant help but make a comment. I was so hesitant to get the rezound due to lack fo development, and you came and saved the day ( or the 20 month contract i got into ).

Thank you is not even close to enough.

Neither is the pennies for coffee coming your way .

Ppl like you make android amazing.

This rom is not a dream come true. Its a wet dream come true.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Its because when you first tried an app with root you hit "deny" instead of allow... Everyone is doing this...

The buttons are backwards on ICS.

Go into settings -> applications -> Superuser -> Clear data.

Try again.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
I do my best... For real.. I do my best :p
[HTC Rezound] con247:
I still don't understand why the HELL they made that change lol. Rom looks good scott! Have you done any changes to framework-res.apk or com.htc-resources.apk? Or just systemui.apk and obviously the apps?
[HTC Rezound] f3liC:
So yeah mobile data isn't enabled by default and you go to settings>data usage>and tick the box. Thought I was going stupid for a while because I couldn't find it.

Scott, on your post when you said you're unable to restore backups, that goes for titanium backup as well correct? What is the reasoning behind this?
[HTC Rezound] xjacobx:
Thanks man, I'll keep trying just wanted to make sure I want doing something wrong. Can't wait to get it.

Thanks for all you have done.
[HTC Rezound] tbot:
No, its settings->data usage and its at the top.

Edit: nvm looks like u found it...I did the same thing, was driving me nuts
[HTC Rezound] blueadept33:
After I cleared data I launch superuser try to update binary and at gaining root access.... Fail!

Any ideas?

omagawwww i'm so excited to have aosp back on my phone. Scott, you sir, are the effin man
[HTC Rezound] Taebom:
Thanks for this, i thought i was going crazy trying to find it.
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
Scott, AWESOME job and I cannot wait to see the updates as you tweak and refine this ROM.

One question though... Where is VVM? I pay for that and use it a lot and it is not here and I cannot seem to download it from the Market.

Most of my apps don't even appear in the Market, but I can log in from my PC and push them I guess.
[HTC Rezound] cmagic26:
What did i do wrong? In Bootloader itsays," Update failed, Main version old" and sticks at HTC screen at boot.
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
Another problem is that it doesn't let you set up an Exchange Email account. I ran into this before, where you had to set up the account before you removed Sense and the Bloat or it would not let you set up... it gets to the last screen and says it failed to create.

Anyone know the fix for this? This is a deal breaker for me, I have to have my work email on my phone. Before, I would start with a clean stock ROM, set everything up and then unlock it and root it and it kept the settings.

Installing this ROM forces you to do a factory wipe first, so I lose the settings and you cannot set them up afterwards. Gmail works, but it cannot set up a corp exchange account. Help!
[HTC Rezound] Bluesnake01:
Scott, you're the best thing to happen to the Rezound Mod community!!!

Couple of questions, I apologize if they've been answered.

1. Does the internal and external SD card work for apps and for storage usage?

2. 4G working and bluetooth working?

3. Youtube and Netflix?

4. Are both cameras and camcorder's working to their full potential? (8MP, 1080p, etc.)

5. Mobile hotspot/tether apps working?

Apologies for the questions, just wondering if im still dreaming. Never expected the day for the Rezound to have ICS soo early especially with a clone AOSP. Now im REALLY glad I sticked to the Rezound and not the Nexus.
[HTC Rezound] JohnShaft69:
beautiful widgets, hd widgets, weatherbug,widgetlocker,and adw ex makes this superior in both speed and appearance in my opinion
[HTC Rezound] stoffelck:
if you consider THIS as ahead of us...

Not working:

ADB

USB Mass Storage (PC Mounting)

Camera

GTalk due to camera not working (Xabber is included as a substitute)

Market will load and search but will not download apps
[HTC Rezound] rockingondrums:
I need to just up and buy WidgetLocker.

I WANT to like ADW EX, but the dockbar

SUCKS

now! IMNSHO (in my not so humble opinion). I am emphatic about this. It doesn't have the same feel when flinging, organizing it is janky, I don't want to have to add an App drawer shortcut on EVERY page of the new dock now that I can't CLOSE the extra dockbar to get to the main dockbar with the App drawer icon. Anyway, this is off topic. Was jus sayin.
[HTC Rezound] agentofchaos:
Why does it not say 1.5 ghz? How'd you get the scores you did, Scott?
[HTC Rezound] OLDsJUNKIE:
Seems we have quite a selection of working ICS ROMs. Not sure what your point is here.

Edit: Not to mention the fact that this Alpha build they have is still buggy as hell and takes about ten workarounds just to get data working.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
Are you stuck on a different kernel somehow?
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Idk what you're talking about but our version is by far more functional. As another poster stated they're safestrapping dual booting to get it to function. Locked bootloader = no kernels/no radios. Plus the RAZR has already been replaced :D Bionic v2 lol!

---------- Post added at 11:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:52 PM ----------

Are you using some sort of cpu control app? If so just get rid of it.
[HTC Rezound] agentofchaos:
Are you using some sort of cpu control app? If so just get rid of it.[/QUOTE]

Set CPU, and even if its set to 1512 itll mess it up?
[HTC Rezound] Piercing Heavens:
Is this the correct kernel for this rom?

I copied the android-info.txt from a PH98IMG.zip I found on my sd card from an old rom installation because a new one was not created when flashing the newest senseless. So I copied the .txt file and the boot.img from the rom's .zip and created a PH98IMG.zip from these two files and flashed them in fastboot.

After all this the kernel stayed the same so did I already have the kernel installed correctly?
[HTC Rezound] Kilch:
DLing it now. Wish me look. I'm a sucker for a Senseless version of Android. Running GB Sensless and ready to give this a try again. Hope most of the bugs got worked out. If not, back to the ole GB version.

<holding nose tight> <dunk> lol
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Its all good. I just think when people get nervouse abotu bricking an $800+ device they tend to over complicate things. Now it shoudl be as easy a s a couple reboots to get you back to GB if need be.

Im unable to predict what future installs will be like. I will tell you this... More than likely if I change out a system app (Sense email for AOSP Email) a full wipe WOULD be required. For now lets just rock this ROM and find the bugs so I can make fixes.

What are you talking about? Razr got ICS far AFTER we did? Look at the date on that post and the date on my OP. Or do you mean AOSP? And if you mean AOSP, that has been out for Rezound longer. Look at JoelZ and what demadows are doing. They ahve had AOSP ports going before I got Sense ICS going. Granted the AOSP builds are buggy and most things dont work... But fro bragging rights prurposes. Rez got ICS first.

WIPE WIPE WIPE. Bad bad bad things will happen if you dont.

Tested functional. The notification in the pull down does not work but when in the Music app itself you can toggle it on and off. Thats what I was told anyways :eek: T

est it and report back. If that is the case just kill beatsnotify.apk in /system/app/ and the issue is resolved. I think :p Try that too and let us know.

Im sur eyou understand its physically impossible for me to test every single feature and still meet the demands of the masses in regards to output deadline, :cool:

Cool beans man! Its not perfect but its somewhat stable and usable. IM going to home in on the rest of Sense items this weekend and see what I can do.

Yep. I dont think Sense is ugly, but it doesnt mix well with ICS.

Did you confirm with the creator of SetCPU that his program is ICS compatible? You should remove it. I dont think its designed for what you are trying to do. Not to metnion it will adversely affect the hours and hours I spent tweaking the stock kernel settings.

The kernl will be the same but you will have the new and improved RAM disk. Thats very important.

Donty drink and post. Never works out well for me, lol

So far I perceive the feedback as positive. Any major issues?

OK now, oh geez. So I was playing with the camera. Took a couple of pics and BHAM! BLUE SCREEN, then it self-rebooted. Reminds me like the old Windows OS's. Is this Windows based? lol Kidding, just trying to lighten the mood. lol :)

OK, back to the GB Sensless version Scott, sorry man. I'll have to wait. Hope this is positive feedback in your efforts of build the best ICS ROM.
[HTC Rezound] bigbigdad:
stuck on htc white screen

OK, I have put on my armor and am prepared for all abuse. I downloaded 2.1, wiped all, and then when I went to install the zip wasn't there becuz I put it on sd card instead of sd-ext. When I tried to reboot, it goes directly to the hboot update screen (after saying that there is no ph98diag image or wrong image) and either selection takes it to the htc white screen. Bracing for insults and then hopefully help.....

:(
