Seems this might be the real deal: http://www.phonedog.com/2012/03/30/...axx-android-4-0-updates-tipped-for-next-week/
[HTC Rezound] badogg:
I don't know. That is just another site showing the same thing. I wouldn't hold my breath until an announcement from Vzw is released.
[HTC Rezound] Roland Deschain:
Only thing lacking, IMO, is how buggy the clock speed jumping around is; which should be kernel-related.
[HTC Rezound] Afro Samurai:
I'm usually cool on flashing leaks but when firmware and radio were included that made me hesitant. Hopefully this is the real deal, I have to admit I've been real itchy to try it.
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
I just didn't flash the ruu because I am more than happy with ineffabalis 1.3 but bamf 1.0 ran like butter on my rezound so I am hoping with all the good reports of the update that this is true.

That and I'd like to see chingy work on a ics version of gb ineffabalis.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
That's actually not really a bug....

Its a "feature" from HTC called perflock. I do agree, though, that its pretty annoying.
[HTC Rezound] samiusmc:
Motorola is sending out soak test invites now so this may be true.

http://androidcommunity.com/motorol...software-invite-ics-may-be-incoming-20120330/
[HTC Rezound] qudwis:
this may be true, but moto has nothing to do with..

we need vz's confirmation..
[HTC Rezound] qudwis:
this is from best buy not vz.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Can we get a developer to shed a little light on this situation: will people (like me) who flashed the new RUU be able to update when this becomes official?
[HTC Rezound] twolasrnames:
Probably, but we won't know until it comes out for sure.
[HTC Rezound] derek4484:
Yea, I was just coming here to see what the deal is. I'm guessing that all the rumors were false, as usual. I had my fingers crossed though hoping it was true. Would love to get official ICS.
[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
yeah you can't buy into those leaked documents. it will come when it's ready. fine with me as the leak needed some work done to it.
[HTC Rezound] Sheldor1967:
That email had the look of something sent from an individual, not the company. It may have even been something someone sent to themselves, then leaked, just to watch folks scramble. Of course, the fact that the Moto did get AN update of some kind lent some credence to it...I learned long ago to relax until I get the message on my device...
[HTC Rezound] ihavenolife008:
not to fuel anything, but i did notice these 2 things:

http://support.verizonwireless.com/system_update/rezound.html

Verizon support page, currently says "Update - Coming soon!"

could be related to older update i suppose
[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
well it's for sure not coming today.
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
Well I won $20, but I would have been more than happy to lose that bet.........
[HTC Rezound] das0527:
I want to find whoever started this rumor and feed them their genitals on a salad.
[HTC Rezound] ijustwantmydock:
Lol
[HTC Rezound] cpurick:
I'm glad to be waiting. The leak gave me countless power problems, and I like to think they're spending more time fixing it.
[HTC Rezound] ghostt021:
Lmfao.
[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
it for sure needs serious kernel fixes.
[HTC Rezound] Pucuck:
Guy on Engadget comments claims to have update. He posted a pic on his Facebook of the software information screen:

Not sure what to think of this. Looks like it is close to the leak from March.
[HTC Rezound] akanealw:
That is exactly the same as the leak, I just checked mine.
[HTC Rezound] ijustwantmydock:
Could either be the leaked ruu or the real deal
[HTC Rezound] Thadrow:
Thats a themed gmail icon, isnt it ?
[HTC Rezound] ijustwantmydock:
No I don't think so
[HTC Rezound] Vashypooh:
Nope. ICS Gmail icon.
[HTC Rezound] Pucuck:
Did some digging and see on another Android blog a guy by the same name posted a response to the androidauthority.com posting about the leak. Heres his response: "Worked perfect for me. Have had it working for over tow weeks now. The only thing is that the battery only charges to about 88%".

I'm guessing the guy is just on the leak. :(
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
Something that apparently most Rezound users (here) don't have much of...

[HTC Rezound] jbh00jh:
I am running the the the leaked ICS RUU from last month and everything in this

screenshot is exactly the same as my software information. :D
[HTC Rezound] IniquitiousSoul:
I've been on the leaked RUU since it came out with zero problems. I thought I was having a problem, and I did, but when I went back to a stock skin (from a themed skin) my problems also vanished.

I am getting significant improved performance AND significant improved battery with the leaked RUU and love it.
[HTC Rezound] jperiod:
How is your battery life and 4G radio with the stock leaked RUU? Any issues with voice quality, either receiving or sending?

Thanks

Jperiod
[HTC Rezound] bradsinram:
Well engadget says were getting it today too
[HTC Rezound] sknight13602:
I'm on the leak and I had problems at first but ran the update again and haven't had any problems in a month
[HTC Rezound] nolimit78:
Perfect actually. I know that I had issues with dropped calls but now, it's perfect. 4G for me no longer kills the battery but if you want to squeeze even more life.. use WiFi.
[HTC Rezound] evoguyfhp:
Link to the leak? I'm at work and bored.
[HTC Rezound] Sheldor1967:
Yea, but it's all the same email from Best Buy...

I've been running the March leak since it came out and have not had the first problem yet.

Have much better battery life. Can't believe the official update will be that much better so I

don't really care when of if it does come out. :D
[HTC Rezound] mamismo:
Looks like we might get update soon.

futureandroidphones.org/android-news/htc-rezound-ice-cream-sandwich-update-released-today/

HTC representative says this year.
[HTC Rezound] jbh00jh:
Need to keep up with your reading,that story was based on the Best Buy story released earlier this week. Completely bogus. :rolleyes:
[HTC Rezound] b5fan:
I just checked with a friend who got the Rez about a month ago. He got the ota pushed to him yesterday but it was the 2.01 update. I think the rumored 4/06 ota was for people who missed the last ota.
[HTC Rezound] werdna87:
Nope I still am on the original release and have not seen the update yet
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
I don't know... the new screen shot posted looks pretty official!

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
[HTC Rezound] jackpot08:
Yay we may be getting it next week
[HTC Rezound] ecetim:
If they keep ICS from us much longer, it might be time to try out one of our devs' excellents ROMs soon...
[HTC Rezound] brisdaddy1207:
This is a fake my neighbor was able to make a letter exactly like this one.
[HTC Rezound] brisdaddy1207:
Not this one but the Best buy screenshot.
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
I have half a dozen coworkers that have all switched back to GB from the latest ICS leak because the battery life absolutely sucked on ICS and was drastically better in GB.

I wonder if the official release will be any better, but I doubt it.
[HTC Rezound] b5fan:
I guess it was just a coincidence that his update occurred on the 6th.
[HTC Rezound] jdk2:
I didn't think this was possible. Could you elaborate on the process of going back to GB from the ICS leak?
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
You still run the latest firmware, just need to use a patch to fix the SD card mount points with a GB rom.

---------- Post added at 08:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:24 AM ----------

The kernel runs at full throttle with the screen on with the current leak, I would expect that to be fixed before it's official. When running these leaks, we in effect become unofficial beta testers for HTC...
[HTC Rezound] jdk2:
Thanks.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Scott has one posted somewhere in the cleanrom thread.
[HTC Rezound] ericsignals:
Check his Op...its built-in to Rom now. Just follow his directions in OP.

EDIT: that if you are trying to run ics clean 4.2..
[HTC Rezound] brisdaddy1207:
You know everyone said you couldn't go lower on the TB but the data was so bad on mine I tried it and it worked. Even though I wasn't going from 4.0 to 2.3 it still was a lower version and it worked just fine.
[HTC Rezound] 1heffer:
" Questions? You can't question this?? Why would you? "

lololololol
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
No the patch to revert back to GB if you updated firmware with the latest leak
[HTC Rezound] It IS Lupus:
I remember that. I had just gotten my Eris, when they had gotten a new method down(shortly before it that is).
[HTC Rezound] ericsignals:
I looked all over my house, no s-off, no ics ota....all I found was a crap load of chocolate :mad: lol
[HTC Rezound] MajikUF:
Should be doing it anyway. You can run all of them without updating the firmware if you're worried about that. I think even CleanROM now has a script to detect what firmware you are on so you don't have to do the second flash, it takes care of it for you.
[HTC Rezound] steven.rn:
I just got a Rezound as a replacement for a Bionic (had a bad experience there) a couple days ago. I thought I would wait for the ICS to drop, but when CleanRom said you could use the old firmware....

Never had an HTC or Amon-RA type software, but just used the no-brainer tool for windows, then flashed CleanROM according to instructions, finally flashing the patch for old firmware.

Works like a gem. The phone's somewhat speedier. The ICS is nice.

Oddly, it's not that big a thrill- this is my first experience with Sense, and it's pretty nice, all in all. A bit bloaty, but not gruesome.

I'm in love with the screen resolution over the Bionic/Razr phones. I'm one happy camper with this phone so far, and there hasn't been one burp (at least for me).

Anyhow, the point being if I can do it with no real HTC experience out of the box (I had OG Droid, Droid X, Droid Bionic) I think pretty much anyone could. I had some misgivings about the leaked RUU because of the inability to go back on the radio if something goes awry, but this seems a pretty safe path.

This is probably the best 'resting point' waiting for the OTA ICS, the least risky. If anyone knows different, please tell me; I am a noob at HTC phones.
[HTC Rezound] RoryHe:
Your right it's probably best to wait you can use all the roms I jumped on it when it came out I hope s off comes out soon or the ota is money.
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
If it ain't broke don't fix it. If your happy how it is why flash the leak?
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
Look at the grammar used in this. Not official at all. Anyone who believes this is an idiot.
[HTC Rezound] Chuck Snorus:
Someone needs to check their sarcasm meter ;)
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
I didn't mean that toward Krelvinaz. He obviously doesn't believe it. As if the 4 smilies rolling their eyes isn't enough. :D
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
I made the modified graphic from the original posted one.... Sarcastically.
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
Oh ok. Cool. :)
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
I think the "XDA Certified" was the icing on the cake.
[HTC Rezound] taptaptouch:
Apparently that email was real, I just went to the best buy mobile and the guy asked what phone I had and I said rezound and he was asking about the ICS Update that supposedly went out. Best Buy just aint got their stuff together
[HTC Rezound] Apsalus:
RZD is slated to get Sense 3.6, not 4.0, right? :(
[HTC Rezound] qudwis:
yes, sense 3.6
[HTC Rezound] sknight13602:
Very true but it doesn't hurt to hope for it we all know Verizon is slow on the ota
[HTC Rezound] Dstu03:
You won't want to update unless the firmware is diferent which more than likely it won't be. Just wait. I will post a rooted version of the stock ota when it comes out
[HTC Rezound] Sax1031:
I have a question. I am not sure if I am asking it in the right thread. So I am sorry in advance if I am.

I unlocked the boot loader and installed superuser(root) through Amon Ra recovery. The phone is still on the stock recovery, kernel, and rom(not sure if that is the right word but I have not flashed any roms).

My question is that if I am basically just rooted with an unlocked boot loader should I wait to update the phone? Will I even receive an OTA notice about new software?

I am a newb, especially with Android. Any help is greatly appreciated.
[HTC Rezound] tbgreen89:
Me too! I'm not gonna risk a leaked ruu...
[HTC Rezound] RLKirk:
If you have Amon you do not have the stock recovery. being on a stock rom and rooting it will not stop the OTA from pushing to your phone but i dont know about having an unlocked Bootloader. you can accept the update and worse it can do is tell you it couldnt take. you may have to have a stock recovery to. i really dont know though, i have never put an OTA update on any phone i have ever owned haha
[HTC Rezound] WookieFan:
I have the same concern. Not sure I want the OTA to push to my phone. I'd like to see what issues occur with the OTA and then flash a rooted version a few days later. I'll do some research to see if I can find the "avoid the OTA" thread(s)...
[HTC Rezound] Sax1031:
I used Amon Ra to install superuser. Then I flashed the stock recovery back onto the phone.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
I was chatting with a Rezound user on the official HTC support site last week and he claimed to know nothing about rooting and unlocking, but said he had received an OTA pushed to his phone that matched all the version numbers of the leaked release. He said his local VZW reps couldn't explain it.

I flashed both the leak and, back in January that OTA. Had to completely return to stock recovery and ROM and relock bootloader to do it.

Dumped down the innertubes from my Arnova 10 G2
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
I just saw this a few minutes ago on AndroidAndMe and it definitely made me happy since I'm assuming it's the real deal. I can't wait to get some CM9 love for the Rezound and some truly AOSP ROMs! It's time to unleash the beast within!
[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
same here, i won't touch a leaked ruu or radios.
[HTC Rezound] surfer2.3:
Personally, I'm glad I'm Locked and Stock for this OTA push. If the bloat is unbearable with 4.0, I'll root. But I planned on waiting until I could evaluate the stock 4.0 before moving forward.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
I went ahead and adopted the leak. Really doubt there will be a difference between the OTA and the .22 RUU OTHER than kernel.
[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
you never know, the ota may bring an updated radio? i just hope the ones who flashed the leak won't have issues updating.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
It will be the same firmware. Only modifications are to the ROM and Kernel.
[HTC Rezound] k_flan:
Is a leak of the ota floating around?
[HTC Rezound] jm700wx:
Con is usually in the know... I would bet he and some of the other developers have a leaked ota and are re-baseing their roms :D
[HTC Rezound] con247:
I don't have "proof" I guess but that is what I have heard.
[HTC Rezound] jm700wx:
This April 6th date is starting to look legit. The Razr ICS from VZW just leaked at droidrzr.com. My wife will be happy, she has the Maxx.

Edit... I just updated my wife's maxx to the ics leak. Moto did a great job with this rom. Not a moto fan but this is nice!
[HTC Rezound] kryptik06:
This makes meh happy lol
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
Won't a new kernel alone be worth it?
[HTC Rezound] qudwis:
the new ics kernel will definitely be worth it, but sense 3.6 won't..
[HTC Rezound] jperiod:
new OTA

Does anyone know if this kernel has been updated since the 3-16 leak? Also, I assume that the ROM developers will update their ROMS based on this OTA, so waiting for a week or so may be worth while.

jperiod
[HTC Rezound] theGross1:
I got this from HTC. No date but it seams to align with the rumored date
[HTC Rezound] Flyhalf205:
You would think they would have updated this page if the update was coming next week. http://support.verizonwireless.com/system_update/rezound.html
[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
I just hope the battery life is better than gb becuase it blows for me. I want to say worse than my tbolt.
[HTC Rezound] quepaso:
Ive been running the leaked ruu out of the box as if it was the OTA and it is mind blowing amazing, smooth, amazing battery life and just overall incredible. Its night/day difference from GB was. That said, the leaked .22 ruu has bugs here and there. So i do hope the real OTA is a tad newer.
[HTC Rezound] surfer2.3:
This is great news. I've been holding off on rooting until the OTA 4.0 push. Once 4.0 is pushed, the development folks can really put the polish on. This is going to be fun.
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
What 4.0 push??

Edit.. I was thinking he was saying sense 4.0 not that it was Android 4.0... My error...
[HTC Rezound] OLDsJUNKIE:
After running the ROMs based on the leak, these awesome devs are already putting the polish on! There's not really a lot of improvement that can be made. A new kernel could possibly improve a couple tiny things, but they pretty much got it dialed in already.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
A new kernel is a must, the current one likes to go full throttle when the screen is on.

---------- Post added at 10:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:21 PM ----------

Android 4.0 aka ICS I would assume.
[HTC Rezound] demmo86rt:
Sometimes that page doesn't even update until after the push starts.
[HTC Rezound] eman3316@optonline.net:
Can someone shed some light on how to re-lock the bootloader and return to stock recovery? I am guessing having superuser won't effect the update so we might not actually need to run the RUU for GB if we haven't flashed any Roms but just unlocked and rooted.
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Well to relock.. you just connect the phone to the computer and in fastbootpc. Then bring up a command prompt, change directory so you are issuing the command from the same folder that you unlocked with and type fastboot oem lock

As far as stock recovery, there was a file that Con had posted of the stock recovery. All you need to do is flash it in hboot like you did amon ra, but I am not sure if the recovery changed for the RUU leak or not.
[HTC Rezound] surfer2.3:
ICS = Android 4.*
[HTC Rezound] Jonger1150:
So what are the biggest positives discovered from the leaked versions? How is performance? Is the native text app fixed so we don't have mms sendig errors?
[HTC Rezound] ruvort:
But not necessarily Sense 4.*

I see what you are saying though ;-)

MyColorScreen
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
If we ever officially get Sense 4, it'll be way down the road so the One series can shine for now.
[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
i know alot want sense 4.0 but im more excited for aosp to be honest.
[HTC Rezound] ijustwantmydock:
Yes we know you want aosp I've tried both and I like sense 4 better
[HTC Rezound] qudwis:
yes, aosp is very good too, but we bought htc rezound not a nexus device.
[HTC Rezound] z0mghii:
Incorrect. I bought it because it the rezound had better specs than the nexus device. I'm waiting for aosp also.
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
I bought the rezound because the radio friggin works. I liked the Gnex better but the radio was soooo terrible. As was the camera, but honestly I almost never really use the camera.
[HTC Rezound] RoryHe:
Buying a phone now adays should be for the hardware knowing you can put your flavor of software on it ... much thanks to the Dev communities

Android is open source. We can all have our cake...and eat it to!
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
And that's just the point. OTA means source code isn't far behind, and *that's* when the kernel magic can really begin.

[HTC Rezound] Jmrwbilly:
Same here... Getting sick of sense more and more everyday
[HTC Rezound] surfer2.3:
As much as I love 'progress', having an official build pushed to end users has gota be a plus for developers and OS evolvers knowing that, at least for a brief moment, they are not chasing a rapidly moving target.

I say once 4.0 is pushed...it's time to finally root my Rezy...I just got that feel'in.
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:

[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
How long are y'all going to hang on to the rezound complaining about not having aosp?

Can't wait for the one x to come out for verizon so hopefully y'all will go to those forums complaining about it...
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
Yes. What difference does it make as to when it is unlocked? Waiting for ICS isnt going to change the unlock process. No logic. Waiting through return period i understand. Waiting for ICS i dont.

As long as HTC makes fantastic hardware and ****ty UIs. Give us an option and the complaining goes away! Simple.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
Isn't that why we have third party launchers? Quite a lot of people like sense, which is why they will keep making it...
[HTC Rezound] WookieFan:
Ok, so first, my "thanks" was in error.

What you wrote was unnecessary. It makes perfect sense to wait to root until after the ICS update. There is a convoluted process for rooting and flashing the current leak. And then an even more convoluted process to get back to GB, if you have an issue with the leak. I can understand anyone being intimidated by that. But, not surprisingly, you can't. There was absolutely no reason to be insulting.

Challenge yourself and see if you can be constructive and supportive with your next three posts - it's what fora are actually for, if you can believe it.
[HTC Rezound] Thadrow:
I believe the One Series is coming to Verizon but under the Droid Incredible 4G model thats being leaked . Not the One X V or w.e.

That incredible will have sense 4 but its a midrange phone not high .
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
both the one x and one s have high end specs. Unless verizon is getting the third phone. I would hope they are smart enough to get at least 2 out of the 3.
[HTC Rezound] Lomallin:
Since we're on the topic of OTA...I just wanted to post this again for any who might appreciate it.

Voodoo OT RootKeeper - I haven't gone through an OTA yet with it, but I'm crossing my fingers it works :) I know there are a couple more on the market, but I've enjoyed the minimalist interface on this.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.otarootkeeper&hl=en

Wish we were getting Sense 4.0, but I'll just be happy being able to freeze those VZW apps. I am enjoying a phone that doesn't require a lot of tweaking to run well (as opposed to my OG Droid, but it did do well for the hardware it had).
[HTC Rezound] derek4484:
dont ever expect Sense 4.0 for the rezound. HTC has already stated several times that Sense 4.0 is for the new Snapdragon S4's. Rez has Snapdragon S3.
[HTC Rezound] ruvort:
Not trying to take any sides but it is not necessary to flash the leak to be on ICS. I am on an ICS rom and not using the leaked RUU. It makes perfect sense to flash one like I have if you want ICS now because once the "official" ICS ota pushes out devs will grab it and rebase and bam you have a smoother, better rom than the ota.

Only issues will be if you have to relock and flash like you currently do now with the RUU. That's the only pain I foresee.

MyColorScreen
[HTC Rezound] spitzaf:
Is this really required while we have unlocked/relocked capabilities? All we need to do is flash Amon Ra and install Su from recovery to get root back.

Cmon HTC, you've catered to us before.
[HTC Rezound] ssoares01:
I've held off on doing anything but root on my phone - I'll put Amon Ra on it and start flashing to get rid of the bloat and i'll start flashing roms if a good sense 4.0 one comes around. ** Here's to hopin! **
