back to stock with s-off

Hi Guys,

Someone knows how to go back to stock Gingerbread with s-off? Which RUU I have to flashand keeping s-off?

Thanks
[HTC Rezound] funnyangrykid:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1365654 should be self explanatory.. just download the gingerbread Ruu, rename to PH98IMG.zip and flash it in hboot.. you will always have S-off no matter what. only until u decide you want S-on.
[HTC Rezound] Squirrel1620:
Aaand success! S off on the first try! Took me about 10mins. That metronome really helped I recommend it as mandatory also I confirm this works on the 3.14.605.10 ruu. I used a wire from a cat5 cable, Also I was running viperrez no problems or side effects thank you.
[HTC Rezound] vonhinkle:
Can anyone confirm this works with the OTA 3.14.605.12?
[HTC Rezound] Squirrel1620:
Same radios and hboot as 3.14.605.10 so I'd say yes the only thing they changed as a couple of apps were tweaked

I had the htc drivers installed and adb worked. This happened right after I did the wire trick and i dunno what to do now... Should i pull the battery?

Sounds about right. Yeah you gotta touch the wire then release, then touch again 1.75 seconds later

How to determine if on JBear or stock HBoot

I cannot figure out if I'm on JBear's HBoot. I s-offed. Selected yes to install it but when n i go into the bootloader it does not indicate Juopunut Bear anywhere. It only says Tampered and locked. It shows I'm s-off on 2.25.000. I can flash with no problems. I'm on the. 10 leak, if it matters.

Thanks
[HTC Rezound] Jacrushar:
I think if it says tempered that means you're not on juopunutbear's hboot. I have been on the stock hboot for forever as well and never had any problems.
[HTC Rezound] garnet&gold:
Cool, thanks. Now I just have to decide if i stay on this one or flash new or JBear.
[HTC Rezound] topgun1953:
Actually, I think your hboot screen would say JuopunutBear at the top if you had their hboot but if you can use "fastboot flash" commands from your computer, then you've got to be on their hboot. :confused:
[HTC Rezound] garnet&gold:
Yep, my thinking exactly. That's why I'm confused. I may just have to flash one of the other hboots and see if there is a difference. I'm a bit hesitant to just go flashing hboots for the hell of it though. It looks like that could invite unnecessary trouble for no reason.

It just gets stuck there and loops. I'm currently on stock firmware running CleanROM DE 1.3. I'm downloading a stock rooted GB RUU to see if my ROM is the issue. Does anyone have any suggestions?
[HTC Rezound] Jacrushar:
I had this problem and could never find a solution. I tried using a friend's computer to see if it was the conputers fault and sure enough it worked on there.
[HTC Rezound] MrWilliams2:
Well damn. I'm all ready to flash a stock RUU to attempt S-Off, but if my computer is the problem, I don't guess that will help. Does anyone know how I can get around this on my computer?
[HTC Rezound] topgun1953:
Flash the stock RUU and try it again. It may not be your computer. Argh...I see you over in Q&A....just get a stock ROM on there and try it again. :) :)
[HTC Rezound] Jacrushar:
Yeah try flashing the RUU first.

[HTC Rezound] LOBBS:
So has anyone been able to S-Off from the newest global RUU? I never really saw the need before but now that the source code has dropped a lot of the devs are posting kernels for S-Off only.

Or, as an alternative can I flash the .zip packages from the kernels in recovery and put the boot.img file in a zipped folder named PH98img and flash just that .zip from bootloader? Do any other files have to be included along with the boot.img inside that .zip?
[HTC Rezound] luis86dr:
Should be possible to S-Off on the latest RUU. As for your second question, you'll need the android-info.txt file within the PH98IMG and the boot.img you want to flash.
[HTC Rezound] LOBBS:
Yeah, so many of the devs for global ROMs are telling people to S-Off before going global it sounded like it wasn't a possibility. I haven't found any reasoning for this warning however.
[HTC Rezound] luis86dr:
They are right. Its better to S-Off before you run the latest RUU.
[HTC Rezound] Jacrushar:
It's because you need to be rooted to s-off and if you run the ruu you'll have to re root before you can s-off, might as well do it the first time.
[HTC Rezound] LOBBS:
Ahh, I flashed the RUU for global the day after it was posted and was unlocked and rooted within half an hour of finishing that. I saw no real need to go S-Off until the source code dropped and most of the devs doing kernel work are not posting S-On friendly packages.

Ooh oh... I achieved s-off and updated to the latest RUU and took my root away... I'm still s-off, so my question is, what's the easiest way to root again? Thanks
[HTC Rezound] luis86dr:
You want to root the stock RUU?
[HTC Rezound] Jacrushar:
Flash the recovery you used to have and you can install SU through there, or you could just flash a Rom that would already be rooted.
[HTC Rezound] Ralphyralph:
I went through the process of rooting my phone and installed SU and it doesn't seem to be rooted. I have SU but when I used root checker, it says can not verify my device is rooted. Also, I can't access titanium backup to restore some apps.

Anybody have any thoughts? Thanks:(

[HTC Rezound] luke61456789:
I think I had the same problem boot into recovery and go into developer menu and install Su it will delete your old version then you need to flash supersu superuser causes problems for some reason ill see if I can find a link for a flashable supersu

[HTC Rezound] Hobox10:
Okay so the fact that I'm running Newt's One XXX already means I have a few steps done right? I could have sworn I read somewhere that I had to attempt S-Off while running RUU.

I'm on HBOOT 2.25 and it says RADIO 1.22.10.0421r/1.22.10.0424

Am I supposed to be on the latest HBOOT? And I'm not sure if that's the latest radios or not...

And am I supposed to flash Amon Ra again even though I already have it, after I S-Off?

Basically this is what I think I'm supposed to be doing at my point:

I'm unsure of flashing Amon Ra like I said, but I'm also not sure which download I should be getting. v0.1? 3.13? or 3.14? I did install an ICS leak way back when (not sure which one it was) but does that matter still since I'm on a rom?
[HTC Rezound] luke61456789:
No I s-off on 2.25 hboot as far as being on a Rom I'm not sure if you have to be stock or not
[HTC Rezound] luis86dr:
It's suggested you attempt on stock, not mandatory. People have successfully obtained S-Off on custom Roms.

Samsung Galaxy S3
[HTC Rezound] Hobox10:
Alright cool I guess I'd try it on the rom first, but also I'm still confused about what I said last. Not sure what version I should be downloading, how would I check? And am I supposed to flash Amon Ra again after the S-Off process? Does it wipe my recovery or something?

Another thing I forgot to ask was while running the program, will it prompt be to flash the jb_boot.img? Same for the jb_hboot?
[HTC Rezound] luke61456789:
I've always used 3.15 amonra it works fine and as far as the hboot it will give you an option for the non stock one once you successfully s-off also you will not have to reflash the recovery if you already have the recovery flashed it will stick just keep at the wire trick it may take a couple times and it gets frusterating but it will work then you will have the option of flashing that modified hboot
[HTC Rezound] luis86dr:
You use whatever version that matches your firmware. If you on GB firmware, use that. ICS, use that.

Samsung Galaxy S3
[HTC Rezound] Hobox10:
ICS has three different versions though, that's why I'm unsure of which to pick.

Also is there a way to back out of the S-Off process if for some reason I just can't get the wire trick down? (I'm completely expecting to be able to do it though, just in case)
[HTC Rezound] luke61456789:
You would just have to reflash the stock boot.IMG in fastboot
[HTC Rezound] Hobox10:
Okay I did it, I got the wire trick correct on my second attempt.

It booted a few times and then it said rebooting RUU. It couldn't do that and it was just booting to recovery. Is that cause I was on a rom? If I restart the phone it boots to Amon Ra only and won't load up my rom. Is this bad or was that supposed to happen? How will I know I'm actually S-Off?

Edit: Okay uh, I tried rebooting a second time. It got halfway through the boot animation, then restarted and fully booted to my rom.

Is that it? Is there a way to check if I actually have S-Off?

Newer edit: It's probably just me, but I swear my phone feels a LOT laggier suddenly after having done this whole process.
[HTC Rezound] Jacrushar:
You can check to make sure your s-off by going to the bootloader and it should say s-off at the top somewhere. You can boot to boot loader by holding the volume down button while turning it on after pulling the battery or powering down while fastboot is not checked in the power settings. Might just be laggy on the first initial boot, who knows.
[HTC Rezound] Hobox10:
Oh it does say it. I checked first off but didn't see anything, guess I didn't look very hard. Thought it would be highlighted or something, lol. Thanks.
[HTC Rezound] luis86dr:

[HTC Rezound] Izeltokatl:
So this is what i've done and its failing with the error: "Secondary backup FAILED!!"

-I reset everything by using the RUU 4.03.605.2.

-I then set the debugging mode, unlocked the bootloader

-Put AmonRa3.15 as my recovery

-Flashed the CWM SuperSU.

-Confirmed root access by using TitaniumBackup.

-Started the ControlBearRelease_vigor_ICS_3.14.605.5 for the ICS leak process.

-Then I get the fun error Secondary backup FAILED!!.

I even reapplied the RUU and did all above again, still the same "secondary backup failed" error. =-\

I'm using the latest version of JuopunutBear 0.4 (from http://unlimited.io/jbtroubleshooting.htm). Help? Anyone have version .01? I saw in the FAQ it mentions that v1 tends to work when the "failed" error keeps coming up. the linked is dead from the OP.
[HTC Rezound] luis86dr:
Download the latest version. I need to touch up the OP. As for a backup error, can you confirm that your device is connecting with your Pc? Also, are you on windows or mac?

Samsung Galaxy S3
[HTC Rezound] Izeltokatl:
I believe I have the latest version from http://unlimited.io/jb_vigor.htm. I'm using this one Windows (3.14.605.5 ICS Leak) . The device is definitely connecting to the pc because I rooted it via PC interface and sent commands to reboot it via adb. Also sent commands to reboot into booloader to flash the recovery. I"m on Win7.

Thanks for any insight.
[HTC Rezound] luis86dr:
I would triple check everything. Make sure HTC Sync is uninstalled, make sure USB Debugging is enabled, and also make sure to run the .exe as Admin. Not sure as to why your getting a error, sounds like your doing it correctly.

Success, then panic, then success

Got S-off on first try, then had some panic moments and thrashing around when the phone would not mount the external SD or show me most of the stuff I knew should be on internal SD. Tried re-flashing the jb-boot a couple of times with no success; reformatted SD with no success. Finally ran across another post in this thread that clued me: even though I've been running ICS ROMs, my hboot was still GB (this was confirmed by checking hboot version on my wife's S-on Rezound). I had installed the ICS version. Downloaded JuopunutBear's GB package from unlimited.io, extracted that hboot, flashed it from the SD, and all is well. Thanks to all.

I'm curious, what does the wire trick actually do? What is happening under the hood when we short Pin 1 to ground twice?
[HTC Rezound] dwasifar:
That's the wrong link.

Since I'm new here, the forum won't let me post the right one. But if you take "htc-rezound/" out of the link liqwidzero supplied, you will have the correct link.

cant mount SD card in AR recovery

OK,

so i did the s-off thing and now for some odd reason I cannot mount the SD card ( sd-ext ) in AR recovery. I can see the data and also tried reformatting it on the PC as well.

the error i get in AR under the mounts menu is as follows:

E: can't mount /dev/block/mmcblkp2 ( File exists )

I tried running that adb command w/busy box and get:

c:\Android>adb shell busybox fdisk /dev/block/mmcblk1

The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 1929.

There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,

and could in certain setups cause problems with:

1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)

2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs

(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)

Command (m for help):

when trying to enter something at the prompt it just sits there.

this is GB bty.

I also ruu the thing back to stock and started from scratch and still no luck

Any advice plz?

Thanks in advance

Some people report that CWM recovery does not work with this exploit. Switching to Amon RA before trying this helps.

Also... the wire trick is still an issue for many.

The lower contact is deep and small. Hard to find and stay touching if using a small wire. We need to stress the importance of being 100% sure you are touching the lower contact properly.

The only way I can run the tool again successfully is to re lock, ruu, unlock and then root. In the five hours I messed with it last night I had the tool run successfully twice. Both ended in failure.

The tool doesn't seem to see the phone or something isn't detected correctly because adb and fastboot will see it but the tool won't run.
