[HTC Rezound] Cubs2008:
Yep I heard later this afternoon. The wife is running unrooted stock so I hope to get a look at the update when it hits her phone.
[HTC Rezound] i rule123:
Maybe very good news

Hopefully if there are new radios they are GSM/CDMA hybrid to solve the Texting/SMS problem, and to make the HTC Rezound a world phone!!!!!:D:D:D

FINGERS CROSSED!!!!
[HTC Rezound] derek4484:
I just got mine Sunday and am still 100% stock. So I'll get this as soon as it comes out. Been waiting to unlock the bootloader and root it, just to run the phone for a few weeks to see how it is.

[HTC Rezound] claydos66:
unlocked bootloader

Can I install the OTA on the rezound if the bootloader is unlocked only?
[HTC Rezound] nerdydesi:
Hi, speaking as a newbie with a Rezound that's rooted and has an unlocked bootloader.

If I install this update, it'll break my root right? Would it affect the bootloader?

If I don't want it to affect my root status, would I have to wait until a "hacked" version is released by the developers here?

And if I ever install a custom rom, I could only get software updates through the developer of that rom, correct?

Thanks guys!

Maybe this will work, OTA RootKeeper, search for it in the market.
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
Just checked my phone and it is already doing an automatic download of the OTA.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
can you upload the zip or give a link to it for me?
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Yup. I deferred it, but I just checked and it's there. About 54mb it says. I won't download it until I know it doesn't break root or anything else I have going here. I did download that root protect software just in case it actually makes a difference.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
is there a way for you to somehow get the http:// link?
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
Con its still downloading for me. I'll see what I can find when its complete.

I didn't ask for it start downloading, it just started on its own.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
It is likely it won't let start installing automatically. So if it prompts you to install, connect to USB and see if you can find the zip file.

Where are they located? If I delete those can I check for OTA again and have it redownload and try to install? It appears to have downloaded for me but haven't seen prompt to install(when it was first prompting I think i was hitting the home button to leave gmail and it never showed again). Can't get it to for some reason, even using the "check new" option does nothing.

[HTC Rezound] 760hacker:
Can we update the baseband with our S-ON unlocked devices?

So are we screwed when it comes to updating the baseband and keeping temp root?
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Absolutely not, and you can check several threads here since yesterday for how to do it. The long way is what I spent most of last night doing, that is return to stock, i.e., relock the bootloader, flash the original ruu, download and install the OTA, then re-unlock the bootloader, flash Amon RA, re-root, restore nandroid. Apparently there is a shorter way discussed in this thread that I wish I'd known about hours earlier.

In any event, I was able to provide a few devs a rooted .img of the post-OTA so something good came out of it besides losing a few zzz's.
[HTC Rezound] esheesle:
So just taking the Otaupdate.zip and putting in on the sdcard named update.zip won't work to install this? Ughhh, guess factory reset and try getting the update again.
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
As far as I know No, but Con247 just made a stock rooted rom out of the OTA with 2 versions . So you could check that out and run that.
[HTC Rezound] bwpopper:

Also have the .zip, but no idea where to put it or what to do. Impatient non-rooted user. LOL.
[HTC Rezound] ajftl:
If u restored nandroid your not getting update then. Hmmm u did all that pain in the ass to get update then u restored nandroid? Maybe I'm confused.
[HTC Rezound] Mechadan:
I believe restoring nandroid gets rid of many items from the update, but does not change the baseband back, so you at least get the radio update.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
+1.

Precisely; the other updated stuff doesn't matter to me in the short run; all I wanted was the newer radio. Within a week the devs will have deodexed the rest of the OTA and debloated it and made available a ROM or several ROMs that have the OTA material in it --- I didn't want to return to stock and lose my mods.

Secondly, with ICS promised in Q1, most of this stuff won't matter after the ICS OTA comes out (especially because many of us will have already flashed ICS ROMs based on it!)
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
He got the update, then rerooted and restored a nandroid he was on ;)
[HTC Rezound] rfarrah:
So.... is the update worth the trouble, in your opinion? I'm running RezROM and am VERY happy at the moment.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Hard to tell; I generally have enjoyed great 4G coverage at work (with slow wifi/internet) and great wifi at home (with virtually NO data of any kind unless I go outside) and pretty decent 4G everywhere else the Greater Philadelphia area. I had been experiencing recent data drop-offs after coming off wifi which sometimes required a reboot and those haven't recurred since the OTA radio change, although it's been only 12 hours so far.

I don't think the hboot increment makes any difference at all (except that the experience really got me deep into what RA Vigor can do and it's genuinely appreciated).

I have generally found, going back to my Incredible days, that the radio updates are usually worthwhile --- Verizon is so slow to push updates, that they usually have the kinks worked out. There are exceptions (can you say "Thunderbolt?") but for the most part, they're worth doing.

Plus, working with the OTA gave me the opportunity to seed the rooted images to developers to update the Gingerbread ROMs so we have something to do while we wait for a reliable ICS ROM.
[HTC Rezound] ssoares01:
FWIW..

Unlocked via HTC, stock bootloader and stock rom, and I still have root, super user running fine, etc... I missed being able to decline the update, so it went through... Thankfully it looks like it just did the update and it runs as it did before.

Haven't noticed much difference with the radio update, still had issues with it wanting to stay on 3g in a strong signalled 4g area... Time will tell if that issue for me has been improved at all! The new 5bar signal bar is not a bad touch!
[HTC Rezound] shawn12350:
So I'm completely stock non rooted. I relocked my bootloader a week ago. My wife throws a fit everytime I mess with my phone and change it. I got the notification for the ota when I woke up this morning. It downloaded and then rebooted into recovery to start the update. About 2 minutes later it rebooted and when it finished booting up my phone was completely wiped. Right back to how it was when it came out of the box. I don't understand what happened. The ota worked fine this time I just don't understand why it completely factory reset my phone. Not a good day so far. Now ill never hear the end of it when my wife sees all my stuff is missing.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
That's correct; the OTA wipes the internal sdcard. You should be able to redownload everything you purchased in the market (or on the Amazon marketplace) and your contacts in Google, Facebook, or wherever they are will populate the phone once you recreate those accounts.

What's lost is any application external data that wasn't backed up to the REMOVABLE sdcard. Don't you run a backup? Even MyBackupPro affords some measure of backup for non-rooted, stock devices.
[HTC Rezound] themusicmonkey:
Nothing was erased that I know of after I updated. Opera wasn't installed anymore, but that's the only thing I noticed different after the update... I'm stock and unlocked through HTC, and I made sure to unfreeze everything before the update.

I am stock except for deleting a few bloat, running cwm, will I be able to dl the ota without a problem, or will I have to return to a stock ruu?
[HTC Rezound] themusicmonkey:
I couldn't get it to install or download, until I turned WiFi on. I missed the first prompt to install, and it says to turn WiFi on in the Verizon help page. So I turned Airplane mode on, off, then turned on WiFi, and I was able to download the update again.

Sent from my ADR6425LVW... An HTC Rezound
[HTC Rezound] esheesle:
You need to put the bloat back on or it seems to fail(maybe not all bloat would cause it, but some does, just don't know the list). Also flash the stock recovery again or it won't install.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
OTA doesn't erase anything, wtf?

nothing on my internal or external or any apps were erased. who's spreading false info??

[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Well, the OTA might not, but if you did it the old fashion way like I did then Unlocking again will wipe the internal SD.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
yeah, if you just installed the OTA thats sent to your phone, you DO NOT lose data. if you go through the process of doing unlocking/rooting after it, you may, idk, i haven't rooted my rezound yet.
[HTC Rezound] themusicmonkey:
I haven't rooted either. I don't want to flash a custom recovery, just to regain root. Until there is a known method that doesn't require this, I'm just going to keep it unlocked and as-is...

Used AmonRa Recovery

Thank you. Went back to basics using "Simple Guide For Recovery, Root and Kernels" thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1418653

to install Amonra. Got root back with Stock Rom, no Mods. Simple. Thanks again.

:)
[HTC Rezound] themusicmonkey:
Anybody know how to get Amon Ra on the phone, then the stock recovery after root? Or is this self defeating, and removes root?

Reason being, I don't want Amon Ra. I don't want an unsupported CWRM. Titanium Backup is good enough for me at this point, and I'd rather have an "OTA ready" phone, like this last OTA went for me, for when we get our ICS OTA.

[HTC Rezound] couchmonkey:
so I just got a new refurb and tried to get the new update, but the battery was too low. put in a different battery and now it says there are no updates.

should I install the update before/after I root?
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Need to install before you root on the stock recovery for it to update properly.

Yes, make sure you have full battery :). Also check under Settings.. software update.. manually make it search for the new update . It should pop it up again for you .
[HTC Rezound] andybones:
easy bro...

flash the stock recovery..

same as you would a kernel(boot.img) or any other recovery(recovery.img)

use fastboot, hboot, or cleanFLASH..
[HTC Rezound] brisdaddy1207:
You notice the text in the status bar shows longer and the dialer is different and they add a few more widgets. Oh and they added an extra signal bar LOL. Did you get your phone to quit rebooting that day.
[HTC Rezound] themusicmonkey:
Does this wipe anything, anything crucial anyway, like files on internal memory, or should this be relatively safe?

I'll be posting a thread shortly after doing this too. Giving credit to whom credit is due of course.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
wait what widgets are new?? and what's diff with the dialer? and yep my phone doesn't reboot lol it was the same problem I encountered before
[HTC Rezound] andybones:
here is a stock recovery for you.

http://dev-host.org/4k1c0vf7lrwi/recovery.zip

hopefully you are familiar with adb as it was used for unlocking the bootloader.

put the recovery.img in your platform-tools folder

open cmd, and have your phone plugged into the computer

charge only, and type

adb reboot bootloader

or get to fastboot however you prefer.

then run this command

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

I am not responsible for any issues you have with your phone.
[HTC Rezound] themusicmonkey:
Okay, so before I start, do I need to back up anything, or should my internal memory be fine? Fine through flashing two different recoveries I mean. I will be using CleanFLASH.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
I wouldn't think twice about making a backup. Better safe than sorry. I make a nandroid before I flash anything unless I already have one I don't mind going back to already. And I use MyBackup to back up SMS and phone records and contacts. AppMonster and titanium for apps. And I manually back up my pics and videos. Can't be too safe. :)
[HTC Rezound] themusicmonkey:
I've backed all 9 GB's too my external, but I can't do a backup with stock recovery or without root. I could use MyBackupPro, and I use GoSms, so I'm covered on the message front. All of my contacts are on the Google cloud, and even if my SD failed, it's all synced to my computer with My Sync Center.

[HTC Rezound] themusicmonkey:
Okay, with Scott's CleanFLASH, I flashed

, then used the Development section or whatever in the Recovery to install superuser. I then rebooted twice, used CleanFLASH again to flash the

back. After reboot, I installed superuser from market, then updated the binary.

Titanium Backup now works and I can confirm regaining root after the OTA update. To protect myself from this in the future, I have installed OTA RootKeeper. OTA RootKeeper has been confirmed to backup superuser and is a simple way of restoring superuser after an OTA.

I did not have to backup anything on the internal sdcard, as I did not lose any data through this process, but it never hurts to do it, just in case. I am running the stock Rom, and unlocked through HTC-dev.

Thanks to con247 and andybones for pointing me in the right direction.

I am not responsible for any issues with your phone, so proceed at your own risk.
[HTC Rezound] xbxjunkie:
I'm following your steps and I have question. I'm assuming AMONRA is the boot image and then you flash the recovery right after. Do you have in the HBOOT screen to do this?
[HTC Rezound] themusicmonkey:
No, it does it all for you. Just plug your phone in, make sure debug is on, and HTC Sync is disabled. Make sure the recovery image that you will be flashing is in the same folder as the CleanFLASH tool, and you're all set.

I know that. Now being that I have a stock ROM, do I flash AMON RA first using option 2 with cleanflash, then flash the recovery using option 1 with cleanflash? or do I skip AMON RA all together and go straight to flashing the recovery? which options in cleanflash apply to AMON RA and RECOVERY images?
[HTC Rezound] themusicmonkey:
Option 1 for both actually. Amon Ra is another type of recovery.

[HTC Rezound] xbxjunkie:
Ok, here's what I'm doing. I'm flashing the RECOVERY and it flashes fine, my phone ends up at the HBOOT screen. I toggle it to reboot and I'm fine there. Phone boots up no problems. I go into SU and check for updated binaries, downloads busybox fine, check md5sum is ok, but when SU checks for current install path, it fails. Why?
[HTC Rezound] themusicmonkey:
I'm assuming you still have Amon Ra recovery flashed. Reboot into recovery, go to Developer, and install superuser there. Then go to the market and install and update again.

Sent from my ADR6425LVW... An HTC Rezound
[HTC Rezound] xbxjunkie:
So AMON RA has to be on my SD CARD and flashed from there, not on my PC and flashed via the PC?
[HTC Rezound] andybones:
depends how you go about it..

in a PH98IMG.zip if will be on your sd card..

flashing the recovery.img in fastboot, put the recovery.img in your platform-tools folder, reboot your phone into fastboot, and

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
No Amon Ra has to be flashed via PC either using Cleanflash tool or Fastboot.

He is saying that if you already have Amon Ra recovery you can reboot into recovery and under the developer menu there is an option to install SU and Superuser.

Choose that option then reboot , once rebooted you may already be done or if you don't have the superuser app installed go to the market and download it and run it and you should have root reestablished.

Actually, yes Andy is right about the PH98img.zip . I just assumed you didn't have the recovery in that form.

I'm not sure if this has been answered yet, but I'm not going through 24 pages to find the answer. I just bought my Rezound 3 days ago and I don't plan on rooting just yet. So I went to check to see if the software update was installed my phone. I clicked the software update in settings and hit "Check new" and everytime I click it, it just says checking and then stops.

Is anyone else having this issue? Do I already have it installed? Will installing it ruin my chances of rooting in the future? Thanks in advance.

You might want to put the addition at the beginning of the title since on the first page it still says "Incoming Software..." so people like myself might still be inclined to click it thinking it's something good only to have our hopes bashed on the rocks :(

My wife's Rezound got to about 49MB and it quit. Now if she tries to check for update it says none available and the status shows download failed. Doh.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Point taken. I told it to go ahead and download and it doesn't do anything. It's just as well; I'm sure anything important will get cooked into ROMs soon enough, and if it really does modify the radio, I'll just restore my original nandroid, run it, then return to my current ROM.

im still running stock and it just finished downloading... where would it be?

I am on stock ROM rooted and unlocked with lots of apks removed. The update downloaded and attempted to update automatically, I didn't realize until I looked at my phone and saw it had booted itself into recovery. Install of the update failed. I had to manually reboot, and my phone did NOT want to load Sense... I had my unlock screen but it unlocked to a blank screen with only my wallpaper, and I couldn't do anything. When it finally booted, first thing I noticed is the crappy Verizon bookmarks were restored... can't see anything else.

Can anyone provide me a KillFOTA to stop this?? I don't want my phone randomly rebooting into recovery all the time....
[HTC Rezound] con247:
The screenshots of the update installation are December 26. So this has been in the pipe for a month. I am sure HTC is much further ahead on ICS now than they were when they were testing this update.

Ok so it did try to auto install, bastards.

But it locked up once it tried to update the Blockbuster.apk. (that was one of the first to go after I rooted.) and it aborted the install. Still trying to find the update file.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
It probably deleted itself from the sd card after it installs. It probably has to be plucked before it boots into recovery.
