Yup, its all timing. Try using the little bit of USB plug sticking out as the ground. I literally just wedged a tiny bit of wire in between the socket and connector, then just tapped that contact in the bottom of the hole once, counted one-one-thousand-tw-- touch again. Bam! It was super easy once I decided to use my own brain and modify the wire trick to make it a lot easier for me to do.
[HTC Rezound] maximus20895:
I can't get it either.

I also can't get the phone to reboot to the normal ROM. It keeps booting up to the juopunutbear image.. so i guess I can't use my phone now...

Also, when I do it for the first time it says waiting for device and then the second time it makes a weird noise in the computer like da da da...like the connect the usb, but slightly different. I dont' know what to do...
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
No dude, its fine. Just pull the battery so its off, then put it back in and hold vol-dn + power to get to bootloader. select fastboot, and then flash a working kernel from here, and then the phone will boot just fine.

Or, you can do exactly what I just said, except flash recovery instead of a boot.img. Then you can go into recovery, re-flash your last ROM (or restore a nandroid backup) and get a working system that way.

Anyhow, your last working /system and /data are still there on the phone, you just need to replace the kernel to boot back into your ROM.
[HTC Rezound] xceebeex:
Now I seem to be getting a segmentation fault every time. Basically when it reboots after doing the wire trick it starts to boot up normally and then I get that fault.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
When I finally got the wire trick correctly, it had already rebooted into my ROM as normal, as if I had booted it normally, when the controlbear app said Success! In other words, it was no longer booting into the juopunutbear screen, or the black htc screen when I successfully did it. It sounds to me like you are close! It booted into my ROM a couple times before I successfully did it. Usually, It got the "still sober" error at this point and just restarted the app.

it was only the first couple times I tried it when I actually was stuck without a working kernel and had to install a new one to get back into the ROM and start again.

BTW, it was about 3 AM lastnight when I finally got it right. Keep trying!
[HTC Rezound] maximus20895:
When I select recovery it flashes and then goes straight back to the bootloader so i can't even get into recovery.

Also when I tap the wire one time it says waiting for device and the device actually turns off i believe. I have to turn it back on.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
No, you misunderstood me, and clearly didn't even read all the instructions or you would have already known that it removes the boot image and recovery image and makes a backup of them before running the exploit.

You need to get to HBOOT and flash recovery AGAIN, THEN you can get into recovery. OR, just flash a kernel if you have a boot.img and boot as normal and worry about recovery later.
[HTC Rezound] maximus20895:
I did read everything literally fifty times. It's semi unorganized to be honest.

Anyway, I went into fastboot usb and then did the command fastboot boot boot.img and I believe it fixed the problem.

Still wondering why it turned the device off when I did the wire trick for the first time.

I tried version 2 and 2.1. I'll try it again later, I got really stressed and frustrated.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
No you're right, it is completely unorganized, and the info is spread all around... but still, I would have thought you'd have been extremely thorough before doing any "wire tricks" or running this crazy juopunutbear stuff on your phone. I know for damn sure I was extremely careful. I spent the first 16 hours after the exploit came out reading every single post on the matter before I collected all the various files I might need to bail myself out of a sticky situation, and after all that then I tried doing it myself on my own phone. I didn't bother to actually go through with anything until I was certain I could recover from all foreseeable circumstances. Its kind of amazing to me that others would be more lax in their preparations when a $600 piece of equipment is involved.
[HTC Rezound] maximus20895:
I did do everything. Believe me, I'm really anal and OCD espcaillay about this stuff.

Aparently, it also wiped my sd card even though I SWITCHED it out prior. I have no idea how it did that. I just put it back in to flash the nandroid, but I lost that and everything else too because I didn't make a backup because i'm stupid..ugh,.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
bummer. Sorry dude!
[HTC Rezound] maximus20895:
Yea, I'll save everything on my pc next time. I don't even remember what was on there. Nothing extremely important, just phone number, maybe some pictures, misc flashable zips.. and other stuff that I can't remember. Blah

[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
There are fixes mentioned in the first post for both. Just curious who needs to do those. If I'm on the leak and I use the ics windows version my mount points shouldn't get jacked with.

I thought I saw that they put the gb hboot in the ics version on accident. Just curious if that had been fixed.
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Hey bad, how did you get past the data local error ?
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
You cant miss it. It repeats itself over and over again until you do the wire trick.
[HTC Rezound] qudwis:
after doing the wire trick, i got su not found? click enter

so i clicked enter then the program closed and nothing..

is this ok?
[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
Are you rooted or running a rooted rom? I believe that is one of the pre-reqs before running this.
[HTC Rezound] RustyNailz:
Having the same issue here. I'm using a wireless keyboard. You also? It's like it won't accept keystrokes once the command is run.
[HTC Rezound] badogg:
I just pulled battery and re-started.
[HTC Rezound] RustyNailz:
Did you try rebooting the computer? That fixed my issue when I couldn't get ADB to see the device.

i was running rez 4.0 rom and have update hboot. so what do i need to do?

run ics leak then try this again?
[HTC Rezound] fenguepay:

[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Ok thanks..taking a break will try again later.
[HTC Rezound] badogg:

Frustrating ... Not sure what to try.
[HTC Rezound] TheRedmonian:
Same error here, anyone have a fix or work around?
[HTC Rezound] badogg:
Yeah, did it all over again and now getting this again:

error: protocol fault (no status)

**daemon still not runningerror: cannot connect to daemon

Get that 5 times and it all seems to just hang there with the Juopunutbear down arrow on the phone..

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I'm sure it's me, but I keep getting to the same problems.
[HTC Rezound] Divine_Madcat:
Wow.. so much craziness.. I admit, that i did have trouble timing the wiretrick, but that was about it for me (using 1.0 of all things). I did flash the modded hboot afterwords, but that was more because i wanted the complete package, so to speak.. ;)

On that note though, it is great to see a community thread like this, even if some of the information can be hard to find. Some help is better than none. :)
[HTC Rezound] graymonkey44:
What do you mean some information can be hard to find?
[HTC Rezound] shawnshawn90:
The changelog has updated again and now there is a new verision - 0.2.2. So hopefully those changes will help out some people.
[HTC Rezound] sungal:
Thanks for posting that. Hopefully this will help. I tried once Sunday and it didn't work so I gave up. I'm ready to try again and am hoping for luck. lol

I noticed one of the prerequisites says-

Be on the stock ROM and be rooted (have superuser and/or an unsecured boot image installed)

Some custom ROMs may work, however we cannot verify them all. If you are not using a stock ROM and have problems then this is most likely the reason.

So I'm wondering if I should try as is or do the stock first :confused: I know some people have had luck with both but I wonder if that may help.. thoughts anyone?
[HTC Rezound] graymonkey44:
I'll update the OP
[HTC Rezound] derek4484:
I ran the ControlBear script from Win 7 x64 as Administrator, did the wire trick and everything ran fine. I guess I got lucky and got the timing down right the very first time.

The only thing, I refused the modified HBoot. I originally was running CleanRom 4.3 on GB firmware and HBoot 2.11 using the old firmware patch and wanted to stay on that. I see now that when I boot into the bootloader it tells me the phone is LOCKED. I was unlocked before. I still have my unlock_code.bin file and know how to flash it from fastboot, but I dont want to wipe my entire phone. I made it through ControlBear and it backed up and restored my external SD card properly so its just as like it was prior.

Anybody have any solution?

Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] trickster2369:
I did it on Sat using v.1 about 5 hrs after the exploit released. I was on the ICS leak firmware running BAMF EVITA 2.0 and had zero issues(miss timed the wire trick once). Everything went smooth other than that. Just make sure you use the proper file for the firmware you are on, and read the instructions at least twice, before doing it again. The process is not "noob proof"(and I'm not calling you a noob), but it isn't that difficult, IMO. Not sure what rom you are on currently, but try it again, and if it doesn't work after a few attempts, maybe try ruu back to stock/rooted and try it that way then.

Good luck on your next try.

---------- Post added at 08:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:45 AM ----------

1. Copy your internal sd card contents to your pc and run unlock, then restore your internal sd card from your pc.

2. Copy your internal sd card to your pc and upgrade to modified hboot, then restore your internal sd card from your pc.

I believe that both of these options will wipe your internal sd, but should have no effect on the external sd card. If in doubt, use a spare/extra external before doing either, if you choose to do one of these options.

Good luck
[HTC Rezound] derek4484:
I can tell you, I didnt revert to stock. I was running CleanRom 4.3, I was unlocked and rooted. I was on the GB firmware and using the old firmware patch. If you read that "pre-requisites" page it also tells you to uninstall HTC Sync and a list of other sync type programs. I didnt do any of that either. I just ran the ControlBear program and it worked fine. I guess I was lucky with the timing of the wire trick.
[HTC Rezound] xceebeex:
I am assuming that version o.2.2 that you are referring to is the Control Bear program, is that correct? If so, what are some of the changes? I can't seem to access their site to check the changelog.

This community is awesome! :)

Oh yeah, btw I am and was running CleanROM 4.3 Pro
[HTC Rezound] derek4484:
It says tampered, because you are on the HBoot 2.21 and you have a non-HTC recovery flashed. No way around this, except to go back to HBoot 2.11.

You did the same thing I did and not accept the modified HBoot from ControlBear program. I had to reflash my unlock_code.bin afterwards and it did a factory wipe on the phone. You can reflash the unlock_code.bin or you can reflash a modified HBoot. I believe either way the phone will do a factory reset on it. So backup everything first.
[HTC Rezound] mpalatsi:
I've tried to be patient with this thing but it's pissing me off now. Everything runs smoothly until I get to the wire-trick. I can make the phone reboot but it will just go back into the ROM and Controlbear will tell me that I'm still sober (S-OFF Failed). I've attempted this about 20 times with different time intervals and I get the same result. It's not the conductor that I'm using considering it does in fact reboot when it closes the circuit.

If anyone has some advice for me it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

PS - I'm on CleanROM Senseless
[HTC Rezound] derek4484:
Sorry, wish I could help you, it went through so fast that I didnt get a chance to read much of what it said. The only time I touched the phone was to do the wire trick. I carefully flipped it over, did the trick, it rebooted and continued on fine.

One thing I would double check if I were you, is make sure you have the proper drivers loaded for your phone. You can check by running adb from a command window and doing the "adb devices" command. It should tell you what phone it finds. Also, make sure you have android debugging turned on in the Settings. It surely wont work if you dont have that turned on. Also, select charge only mode from the usb in notifications menu.

Good luck.

---------- Post added at 10:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 AM ----------

I guess the timing is critical. I did it the first time.

I watched the wire trick video a lot before attempting it. I quickly touched the two points, then counted in my head "one thousand one, one thousand" then touched it again. By the time I flipped it back over the screen was off and then it came back on and went to the juoponutbear loading screen again and the program continued.

Good luck
[HTC Rezound] trickster2369:
Glad you got it. Have fun.
[HTC Rezound] psilocybenine:
Seriously! I rarely ever get to the 'wire trick' step, and when I do I usually cheat (the process will hang after the initial 'finding beers' on 'waiting for device' and I'll unplug and replug the phone to get the process to continue, and believe me I wait but it never goes through without doing this)

I did the SD fix process just to be sure and I've been getting the following pretty consistently... anyone have a clue what's wrong?

[HTC Rezound] -4ndr01d-:
Where did you get the stock rooted ROM from?

What does JuonoputBear mean when he says "Be on the stock ROM and be rooted (have superuser and/or an unsecured boot image installed)" Just having superuser will be ok?
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
unsecured kernel means adb connects with root. I think all you need is SU, because they probably wrote the program to ask for root if it didn't connect that way automatically.
[HTC Rezound] k2trill:
easiest S-OFF process ever :)
[HTC Rezound] trickster2369:
I started the process drunk, at 11:30, after 18 holes of golf and then going to the bar. I saw at the bar that s-off was released and told my wife I needed my computer and some wire, now.
[HTC Rezound] numbroino21:
What I did was double tap it, like playing halo and trying to get a melee kill. Hope that helps.
[HTC Rezound] tschmid5:
I achieved S-OFF a couple days ago with a small paperclip and some clear scotch tape. It worked after a few tries after placing the controlbear files into my SDK folder with fastboot. During the end of the rebooting process it booted into into Amon Ra where I had to manually reboot the system twice before it finally booted up into CleanROM ICS, where controlbear told me that S-OFF was already established. Although I achieved S-OFF I was never prompted to install their hboot. If anyone else is having or has had this issue, flashing the jb_hboot.zip in fastboot using the instructions in the OP will successfully install their hboot. If you are on GB firmware their hboot is not recommended.... Just wanted to throw that out there in case anyone comes across the same issue or issues I had, as I couldn't find any of the exact issues as I was having when I achieved S-OFF.
[HTC Rezound] mtbhk44:
SD Card?

OK, so I'm S-OFF - everything is dandy. Except one thing. The phone is not reading the SD card. When I went through the process, I used a spare so as not to damage the SD card I use on a daily basis. After the process was completed, I switched SD cards and now have the one I use in the phone...but it's not picking it up. I re-flashed the ROM I was using from scratch, including the GB Firmware patch. Still no dice. Is there a fix for this I'm not seeing?

Edit - I even went so far as to copy some files to the sd card I used to S-OFF and it's not reading that either. So basically, it's not reading any external storage - period. :(

[HTC Rezound] derek4484:
That's good to know. I didnt accept the modified HBoot during the S-OFF process and afterwards I was locked. So I just re-flashed the unlock_code.bin to unlock it. But, of course, it did a factory reset so I had to restore a Ti backup. What a pain. I wish I had just flashed the modified HBoot.

I never lost any data from int SD or ext SD card either. If you look carefully as its running, it makes a backup of your SD card and then restores it later on.
[HTC Rezound] Evo4gLI:
If anyone has tried multiple times, and still can't get it, the problem could be that you're on a highly modded ROM, like RezRom. I was running that, and couldn't get it even after 100 tries. After I relocked, ran an RUU, and installed the stock rooted ROM, I got it on the first try.
[HTC Rezound] RKight:
I've tried everything. I've tried every version of the program. I've tried various combinations of formatting and not formatting my sd card between attempts, flashing just recovery, flashing both recovery and kernel, leaving the phone alone and just rerunning controlbear, etc. Most of the time, when I do the wire trick (either with a metronome at 34 bpm or along with the video) I'll hear the normal Windows USB sound on the first tap, followed by a series of three dings on the second tap. My phone's screen will remain black and nothing will happen. The only way to fix it is to either do a single tap, or pull the battery and USB cable. When I do manage to get the phone to restart from the wire trick, it will often go into a reboot loop where the app will continuously say making room for beer, loading six pack, etc before saying rebooting device and doing it all over again. On the very rare occasion that I manage to get a proper reboot, I get the still sober message. I'm getting really frustrated. I'm running CleanROM 4.3 and I'm pretty sure several people have been successful from this ROM. If I absolutely have to, I'll RUU back to the leak this weekend but that's a last resort. Any ideas in the meantime?
[HTC Rezound] :
I was on rezrom 3.4 with hboot 2.21 when I attempt s-off, I got it the first try. The second rezound took longer being unlocked and running the leaked ics stock....took like 3hrs. So I doubt the Rom makes a difference. I used a big paperclip wrapped in electrical tape.

Timing & patience the problem.....simple as that.

HTC Rezound via TT2
[HTC Rezound] Evo4gLI:
You CAN do it on RezROM, I'm not saying that it's impossible. However, considering that one of the devs of the program told me to run the RUU and go back to stock himself in the IRC this morning, I think he's probably right. If you're having problems, the Dev of the program is probably someone worth listening to. But you probably know better....
[HTC Rezound] maximus20895:
My device now reboots the VERY FIRST TIME of doing the wire trick. I don't even have a chance doing it a second time...
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
It does that, the second time you touch the wire it should be in the process of rebooting already. Thats why the timing of the second touch is so crucial, because it has to take place at a precise moment during reboot.
[HTC Rezound] tschmid5:
Your halfway there. Keep trying.
