[HTC Rezound] wazedubstep:
Which version of rumrunner should I use for the rezound ?
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Current rumrunner universal, 0.5.0 I think... Just make sure ADB is enabled and root is functioning.
[HTC Rezound] wazedubstep:
thanks so much for the help i managed to get this out on 2 of my friends rezounds and put 4.3 on them for the time being since 4.4 is still tweaky thanks for all the help
[HTC Rezound] Lodingi:
Can you can give some details on how you achieved s-off? I've followed every guide I could find with zero luck. Thanks.
[HTC Rezound] wazerdub:
well firstly i had to look around for a rezound toolkit and flash funky kernal to the devices after i just ran universal rummrunner i ( for reasons unknown) never actually finish rum runner and then i flashed everything else
[HTC Rezound] pball52998:
Just run rumrunner as a administrator. IMPORTANT: make sure you have antivirus and firewall off. A windows 7 computer or Linux. Have a custom ROM. Non-sense. Unsecured kernel such as funky kernel. If you bootloop by the time you're done and don't boot. Clean flash a different ROM. Worked for me.
[HTC Rezound] civicsr2cool:
windows control bear for anyone looking for it. I used it on a 32 bit xp machine so i don't know if its 64 bit compatible and what not.

Please remove links...

The author has made it clear their work is not to be hosted elsewhere, plus the Windows version was pulled for a reason, it had a higher than acceptable chance of bricking.
[HTC Rezound] michaelbsheldon:
s-0ff

I did it maybe 15 times before it 'took' and didn't burn

anything out. The wire trick is tricky.

Note that you have to unlock it again using HTC Unlock

method. I also reflashed AmonRa before reinstalling all

my stuff.

I am SO HAPPY to have it running right - incl s-0ff.

Thanks to all the talent who's done this. Hurray for xda!

And if you're getting the green bear screen, don't panic,

just keep doing it exactly like the recipe says and it will take.

I really doubt this process will brick a phone if followed exactly.
[HTC Rezound] ijustwantmydock:
what was the command to run it?
[HTC Rezound] maqsur:
I have win 7 64 bit, and i also tried kubuntu 12.04 in virtual machine.
[HTC Rezound] fix-this!:
cd\

cd AndroidSDK\Tools\ name of the program.

in theory it should work for you. you have to make sure you have both adb & fastboot in the tools folder as well.
[HTC Rezound] ijustwantmydock:
yeah i got that working but it goes away too fast and trys to go back to commands in that folder
[HTC Rezound] fix-this!:
no idea then man. do you have access to windows?
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
ADB only works when the phone is booted normally, or in recovery mode.

As far as I remember, ADB does not see the device in either hboot or fastboot mode. You must use "fastboot devices" to see if the device is found when in fastboot mode.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
If you are on ICS firmware, did you flash their hboot?

You might need to put it on a PH98IMG.zip until you flash their hboot or the ENG hboot if you are on the GB firmware.
[HTC Rezound] badogg:
Man, I've been trying for a couple of hours now and I cannot get this to work.

I get one of the following:

/data/local/Juopunutubear not found

Then the message that it couldn't start the daemon

Or it just says that it's still sober.

Getting frustrated, probably going to just quit for tonight.
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
These are the exact steps you need to take:

1. open up a terminal and navigate to the folder where you unzipped controlbear to

2. sudo chmod +x ControlBear (make sure the C and B are capitalized!)

3. sudo ./ControlBear

after that it should run through the process.

Now only if someone could help me figure out how to get this to run a second time since I keep getting "no beer for bear tonight". I've done the sdcard fix, reflashed Amon Ra, tried running ControlBear while the phone was booted into Android and fastboot but still no dice :(
[HTC Rezound] Fergusonfox7:
I keep getting "======== ControlBear version 0.1 for JuopunutBear S-OFF ==========

Starting up......

ADB server didn't ACK

* failed to start daemon *

error:

Connect device...

Press ENTER to exit....." In the program before i even do anything... lol any help.
[HTC Rezound] badogg:
Just to confirm, I want to be at the fastboot-usb screen when I start the Controlbear.exe program, right?
[HTC Rezound] ogre150:
Quick question:

Do I start with the phone on normal or do I start in hboot?

Thanks,

I used to be a developer like you. Then I took an arrow in the knee...
[HTC Rezound] fix-this!:
i wasn't, i was booted into my rom and it rebooted into the bootloader for me. try that.
[HTC Rezound] quepaso:
I was booted into Evita 2.0 when i started, worked fine. I got S-off and donated to the team, awesome guys.
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
No idea why you would be getting that, considering there isn't an installer. are you trying to run it with sh or bash instead of ./ by any chance?

edit: never mind I see you're using windows lol
[HTC Rezound] gunz.jones:
For those having the issue in windows with the keyboard not recognized while getting the external card working.

Type: adb shell

then go through the rest of the commands. Those with SU already have busybox installed most likely, especially if on custom roms. Anyway, that worked for me. When going directly to busybox fdisk, I had the same keyboard issues.
[HTC Rezound] Fergusonfox7:
Now im getting

"======== ControlBear version 0.1 for JuopunutBear S-OFF ==========

Old beer detected...... Please wait......

Critical failure.... Cannot find the bar!!

Press ENTER to exit....."

crap..
[HTC Rezound] dajmanjt:
ok so here is my story.... i ran the program once and it did all the steps properly until it got to the wire part. I did the wire but it said that i didnt do it right and that i would have to try again. when i went to try again i get stuck on no beer for bear tonight over and over and over. i tried everything i thought of but to no avail... any words of insight would be helpful lol
[HTC Rezound] johnwaynegacy:
whats the deal with my install?

loading sixpacks on sdcard...

loaded....

board vigor detected.

Just sits there forever,

there is a htc logo on my phone screen.
[HTC Rezound] bravac:
so finally worked. i tried to jump gun and put it into fastboot mode and then run controlbear.exe and was doing wire trick like crazy..and that didn't work. you have to be in regular usage mode with usb debug turned on. then run the program and let the program do everything, and only when it says to "do wire trx" is when u do the wire trick. it's very explicit, so just make sure the right prompts are there for when to do what.
[HTC Rezound] dragonrazorz:
Yes! Yes! Yes! I got it to work!!!
[HTC Rezound] Fergusonfox7:
Can anyone help me out :confused: 1 page back im so lost lol.
[HTC Rezound] ogre150:
Another noob question:

Do I want the back off my phone before I start the process or does it tell you to take off the back at some point?

Thanks,

I used to be a developer like you. Then I took an arrow in the knee...
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
start it while you are plugged in with the phone on
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Before.
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
On a custom ROM? If not it might help to be. You might try to RUU then start over. I am unsure where to start with that problem.

Have it off from the start.
[HTC Rezound] fix-this!:
a bit off topic but does anyone else notice after you s-off then reboot your phone before it hits the splash screen the phone wigs out a bit? like a short static display? it doesn't happen if i reboot normally but i wanted to make sure im not going crazy here. :confused:
[HTC Rezound] nbhnohome:
Love you man. This is just what I am looking for :)
[HTC Rezound] Fergusonfox7:
Sorry i might have it, just re-formated my incredibles SD card, going in for a try will update :)

Edit: JK, still doing the same thing.
[HTC Rezound] marksde:
Success!

Thank you very much for this! Was able to acheive S-OFF first Try!!!

Please let me know where I can donate to this wonderful group!?
[HTC Rezound] Straitup27:
quick question,getting s-off was easy...........now it says locked above it,i don't recall if it said unlocked before s-off,was rooted and on a custom rom,still on same rom,so my question is do i have to unlock the bootlader again via htc's method,excuse the brain fart and the question <-------------still a noob :confused:
[HTC Rezound] con247:
no you are good. No need to reunlock
[HTC Rezound] brett014:
Hey, so I have tried this several times and it always fails after the pin-short spot. I have watched the video on their site and when they do the pins it is in the bootloader, but when it tells me to do it I am at a black screen w/ white HTC letters...

Am i doing it right? If not what do I need to fix?

thanks
[HTC Rezound] maqsur:
Finally timed the wire trick right and installed eng hboot as per instruction.

I then reflashed amonra and rebooted phone, and voila my Rom back up and running.
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
No... HTCdev unlock is not needed... if you are using their modified hboot or the engineering hboot, its even better.

S=off lets it bypass all the same securities that HTCdev unlock allowed and adds even more permissions that HTCdev did not allow.
[HTC Rezound] badogg:
Maybe progress??

After starting it from a fully booted into Newts one xxx rom it goes through and eventually just gets to the end where it says still sober.

I think I'm done for tonight. Maybe tomorrow night after my sons birthday party or next week...
[HTC Rezound] Milly7:
I am at the screen that says JuopunutBear with the green arrow.... Control Bear says waiting for device... exactly how long should I be at this screen? been about 15 minutes now and counting

am running windows, with gb firmware if that helps... Just seems like it is looping at the screen with the green arrow though
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
Not that long.

Restart the phone, boot into the ROM and make sure the debugging is enabled in development settings.

Then start the control app.
[HTC Rezound] Nopi45:
Im having the same problem!!!
[HTC Rezound] Straitup27:
thanks con you rock,now how do i get me a boot screen instead of the hideous white htc screen while it boots,do i flash http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1612181 from this thread you started earlier,sorry i'm a new "dad" and the baby has ate away all my reading time,sorry for the question
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
From what I've seen that a permission problem, make sure you're running it as admin/root
[HTC Rezound] worlocke:
HELP ME

ok so im stuck at juopunutbear screen ive reflashed recovery formatted sd. wipe data system davlik all that . still stuck at that screen
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Flash the boot image for the rom you were running.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Run the PH98IMG.zip in fastboot.
[HTC Rezound] marksde:
All I did was follow the instructions exactly, and then installed the modified hboot when prompted. Now my hboot shows:

JuopunutBear (on the top in pink)

Vigor PVT SHIP S-OFF RL

This is coming from CleanRom DE 1.2 with AmonRA

Thanks A Ton!
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
Reflashed your ROM?
[HTC Rezound] johnwaynegacy:
well, i did a battery pull and now I cant even relock to ruu to stock

dont do that.

Now when I type fastboot oem relock I get (bootloader) [err] command error !!!
[HTC Rezound] con247:
wrong command lol. It is "fastboot oem lock"
[HTC Rezound] johnwaynegacy:
lol oh oops
[HTC Rezound] B-Mod:
or you can use the donation email address directly at JuopunutBear { AT } gmail
[HTC Rezound] Milly7:
I am confused... I had debugging enabled (always do) prior to starting, ran as administrator and it rebooted me to the screen with green arrow... but still says waiting for device... pulled battery and started again and I am still stuck.... How would I reflash the rom I was on previously? rom boot.img then flash zip (do I need to redo recovery also?
[HTC Rezound] johnwaynegacy:
I realized I didnt run the program as admin. I will try it again after I ruu.
[HTC Rezound] Mindrocket:
Anyone that's having problems with ControlBear and running windows,don't forget to run ControlBear as administrator.Right click on the file and select Run As Administrator.Also I just re-formatted my ext Sd in Amon Ra .
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
If it failed the first time, might need to reformat sd card before trying again.
[HTC Rezound] androg421:
All went well, until:

rebooting bootloader . . .

waiting for device . . .

phone screen now sitting on amon ra recovery screen.

Pressing reboot system goes back to amon ra.

What next?

Edit: flashed boot image in hboot
[HTC Rezound] johnwaynegacy:
I am still on the gb hboot and firmware, will there be a need for me to do this again? Will this hboot become obsolete and require me to update it?
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
amonra wont back up anyone know why?

Ive got the wire trick down but its been doing this every time... any ideas anyone?
[HTC Rezound] luis86dr:
Ok, Im at a loss here. I boot phone into fastboot to start process and it begins to start then tells me adb server is out of date, then kills the process. Anyone with similar issue?
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Maybe eventually, but you should be able to keep S-OFF when upgrading.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
start it in android. Reboot your computer first though.
[HTC Rezound] B-Mod:
Try again, it will work, I think mine went on the second or third try..

---------- Post added at 11:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:19 PM ----------

I noticed this also, not sure why...
[HTC Rezound] mrbracht:
this was the easiest thing i have ever done!! thank you soooo ****ing much!!! :D
[HTC Rezound] nbhnohome:
Advance \ Reboot to Bootloader . Keep doing it a couple times, it will boot back to Bootloader
[HTC Rezound] fix-this!:
We may need an updated recovery. Id post the issue in the amon thread so the dev can see it.
[HTC Rezound] Njenson:
ok... got it... the first time I right clicked and ran as admin it worked right away.

However...

I do recall seeing people having to reinstall recovery and the kernal... mine booted right up into the rom just fine, I double checked into the bootloader and it does say soff. is it anything that I should be worried about?
[HTC Rezound] zone23:
I get the exact same thing
[HTC Rezound] Njenson:
right click and run as administrator... thats what got it to go for me
[HTC Rezound] Straitup27:
it's the timing,took me bout 15 times,timing is extremely crucial,if your that far thats all that is stopping you,keep trying till you time it right
[HTC Rezound] Therev29:
I was getting it too, just keep trying it. The wire trick timing is not right.

Edit: I got beat to it.

BTW thank you all who worked on this!!!!
[HTC Rezound] luis86dr:
Ok, Well now it prompted me to hit ctrl + c within 5 seconds, in which I did.

It just exits out of the program... :/
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
Keep trying, if you don't want to mess with this any more, just reflash your ROM from recovery. (amon ra)

You don't have the wire trick down. Remember you short the contacts two times. *TAP* wait a second and a half *TAP* The first tap of the wire causes a reboot, the second tap allows the exploit to take effect by shorting at just the right moment.

See above.

---------- Post added at 10:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 PM ----------

Don't do that... that is an abort command to use if you see issues with the info it displays. (this is your last chance to abort)
[HTC Rezound] johnwaynegacy:
ctrl c is a stop command. dont press it and the program will start
[HTC Rezound] ijustwantmydock:
okay 95% of the time it doesnt even get to the wire trick command

Hanging here. Im assuming this isnt normal. Now im stuck at the Juopunutbear screen.
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
where does it stop?
[HTC Rezound] johnwaynegacy:
did you remember to run as admin?
[HTC Rezound] nnnnr14:
I have s-off but it wont boot it hangs at the juopunutbear screen...
[HTC Rezound] ijustwantmydock:
at random places ive its stop at starting and ive had it stop at detecting fastboot
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
You don't do that. It's like press any key to exit lol
[HTC Rezound] luis86dr:
Sure did.
[HTC Rezound] zone23:
Thanks guys just kept trying and sure enough I got it. Timing is everything and I guess mines not always that great ask my last girlfriend LOL
[HTC Rezound] Khayos:
I had this problem for about 20 minutes. I then switched to a different usb cable, used scotts cleantool to reflash my original boot image & amonra recovery.

Copied adb & fastboot exes into a clean folder along with soff tool, rebooted phone into rom & then started the soff process over. Everything then went smoothly & got soff first time.

No idea what difference any of that made, but it worked. :)
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
Run it again. Or have you tried multiple times. It's trying to start a adb daemon. Sometimes it doesn't work the first time.
[HTC Rezound] jefffeely:
I also am having this same problem. I have been sitting at this screen for 30 minutes now. I'm assuming something hung. Has anyone found a fix for this specific problem (sorry if I missed it in my reading).

I am:

running Clean Rom

Windows 7

unlocked

started in Android

have USB debugging on

am unlocked

am rooted

Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] Slacker101:
Bootcamp that ****. I have linux and windows on my macbook pro.
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
Also, is the phone rebooting when it says it is? If not, enable USB debugging. Or toggle if already on.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Reflash your boot image that came with the Rom you have installed
[HTC Rezound] Slacker101:
If this happens you should be able to rerun the program from the green arrow screen. It is not bricked. I did it this way on two devices.
[HTC Rezound] luis86dr:
In the proccess of restoring boot image now and going to give this another go. Placed the s-off files in my adb / fastboot folder now. Hopefully it plays nice. :/
[HTC Rezound] Slacker101:
The second device I did this with had the same problem. I closed the program, pulled the battery on the phone, restarted it, and then I ran the program again and it would pick up right where it left off.
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
Make sure you follow the directions. Leave the phone on with USB debugging on. Or will go into boorloader mode automatically.
[HTC Rezound] Slacker101:
My files were in a different folder than adb/fastboot and I did not have any issues. Also you shouldn't have to reflash a rom in order to retry just boot to the green arrow and run the program.
[HTC Rezound] jefffeely:
Thanks. I'm giving it a try. Wish me luck haha.
[HTC Rezound] johnwaynegacy:
whats her phone number?
[HTC Rezound] Slacker101:
If it doesn't pick up where it left off and starts over, don't worry about it. If you have issues where it does not connect with the phone reboot your computer, I did have that issue once.
[HTC Rezound] fix-this!:
Lmao...
[HTC Rezound] Slacker101:
Also if anyone cares I was able to restore my old flash and everything without reflashing a rom or a backup by simply reinstalling amon ra. Then it booted right up, never even went into the menus for it. It was an unexpected side effect of me trying to flash a backup.
[HTC Rezound] cpurick:
Once you've got S-off, how do you downgrade firmware? Does this just make it possible to fastboot flash hboot, or something like that?

Just trying to understand exactly what the procedure is that we're able to do once S-off is done.
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
You download the RUU exe file on your computer and run it. It take like 10min and then you have stock gb
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
I sent a PM to the OP and asked him to add a few things to help clarify the instructions for those who had issues.

If you are having issues, re-read the OP and see if it clears anything up. He updated it with some clarifications.

Some of you may be too far into the process and will need more help, we will do what we can.

I for one am not a Dev. I can help with a good bit of it, but if you really screw things up, I can not help personally. Plus, I have to get off here soon.
[HTC Rezound] graymonkey44:
I added some more notes to the original post.
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
Or you could just read the unlimited.io instructions...
[HTC Rezound] luis86dr:
Noone wouldnt happen to have the boot.img for RezRom 3.4? ;)
[HTC Rezound] killahrey:
Nice. Another confirmed S-Off here :D
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
The rezrom hboot is in the zip file lol

[HTC Rezound] luis86dr:
I know but I deleted the file like a jackass. Didnt want to download 500 mb's for one file. Lol. 50% done with download so guess I have to wait.
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
The OP just copied them from the website so they are the same... unless they have updated them for better clarification directly on the website and he has not updated the OP with the new info.

He added some tips and notes to help clarify the common issues.
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
Then flash their boot image. Or unlock your bootloader. Idk why this is a problem I got it to my first time.
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
Nah I was just saying, it sounded like you were getting on his back about him helping you with these instructions and not being good enough for you. Sorry about any confusion
[HTC Rezound] jjd28:
help

hey i dont no what i did wrong but i iam stuck at the juopunutbear screen did wire trick but nothing change tried to redo step but say no beer for you tonight
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
Retry it.
[HTC Rezound] nnnnr14:
I gues im screwed I cant flash anything and I really cant wipe my phone right now.
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
Nah, I did this on both of my rezounds... first try no issues.

Just some people were making silly mistakes... missing a step or other such things. Things like trying to run this from fastboot, or doing the wire trick before starting the app.
[HTC Rezound] graymonkey44:
Nah he's cool. Thanks for having my back though.
[HTC Rezound] nnnnr14:
Can anyone help?
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
Plug in your rezound. Put the hboot file in your fastboot folder. Run these commands in a prompt

Fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip jb_hboot.zip

fastboot reboot
[HTC Rezound] jjd28:
still say same thing
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
Np man.
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
Did you run as admin?
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
The timing for the TWO taps of the contacts is important. Also, the lower contact can be hard to get to, very deep in the phone. It can be hard to stay on the contact as it is small and there is no plastic reaching all the way down to the contact that can help you stay on it and not slip off.

Gonna get off here a while... antp121 seems to know what he is doing. So its his turn with the helping. :p
