I am stuck guys. I've been searching for a while but cannot find out what to do. I have achieved S-off, but now cannot access my external SD card and cannot get into recovery. I've tried the adb commands but do not have BusyBox installed and cannot install it because of not being able to access my memory card. I am trying to take my phone back to stock so that I can send it back to Verizon. (I received my replacement rezound today)

I've downloaded this: RUU_Vigor_VERIZON_WWE_2.01.605.11_Radio_RS_0.95.00.1123r_3161E_9K_QMR_release_233635_signed

But should I fix the SD and recovery problems before running it? I'm currently on CleanRom 4.4, and my build number is 3.13.605.7 CL363816.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, and have a blessed day!
[HTC Rezound] SirSigma:
When you got S-OFF, did you accept the modified hboot? Because if you did when using the Gingerbread version, it installs an incompatible hboot that won't let you read your SD card (as far as I can tell). This is what happened to me because I hadn't read the FAQ closely where it told me not to, and I ended up having very persistent storage problems on my ROM. Flashing the proper hboot by sending it to the SD card in recovery (through toggle MS-USB) under the name PH98IMG.zip and then flashing it in hboot did the trick for me and my rom no longer had issues with mounting the SD card.

I only tried all of this after I formatted my SD card twice, by the way. Nothing else worked for me.
[HTC Rezound] Romans8vs1:
Yes, that sounds like what happened. I said yes to the last question during the S-OFF process. Could you point me to the proper hboot? Thank you very much for your help with this!
[HTC Rezound] SirSigma:

Extract this file.

Find jb_hboot.zip

Rename it PH98IMG.zip (be careful not to add another .zip or something to the file name)

Put it on your SD card via recovery (toggle MS-USB)

Once it's there, go to the Developer menu and boot into the Bootloader

When it detects PH98IMG.zip in the bootloader, accept it and let it flash

This is exactly what I did yesterday and it fixed every problem I had with storage.

what exactly do you mean by stock ruu? :eek:

don't you have to be relocked to flash that also? =o
[HTC Rezound] WhiteBoyMcFLY:
SD card is EXTREMELY irritating.

After getting s-off and realizing that my phone had no option of storage vs charging when plugged in, I read through and installed the correct hboot (ics). My internal storage mounted ... sortof ... but won't let me put ANYTHING on it. Says there is not enough space. I did the whole adb shell BS that was suppose to fix my external sd card after that. It made it worse. On the last step (w) it stated

"

The partition table has been altered.

Calling ioct1<> to re-read partition table

fdisk: WARNING: rereading partition table failed, kernel still uses old table: Device or resource busy

"

Can give me some steps to fix these two issues?
[HTC Rezound] luis86dr:
Its based on your firmware. Since your on GB firmware you will need GB Hboot. Just because your running ICS with a gb firmware, it does not mean use a ICS Hboot.

Have you tried formatting the card via settings / storage?

[HTC Rezound] WhiteBoyMcFLY:
Ok so I need to roll back to GB Hboot, then try this all again?

I can't format the card via settings / storage because it doesn't recognize that I have a card at all. Just says "Total space Unavailable"

EDIT : Did what you said. Went back to GB Hboot. Did the whole cmd partition deal. Looks good. Rebooted. Both internal and external sd cards mounting properly and looking great. MUCH thanks my friend.

Now onward to 3.14 firmware. I'll let you know how this goes lol

I thought this might be worth a post.

I just s-offed last night, and had a bit of trouble getting the timing for the wire trick until I realized that the "try the wire trick now" message was repeated at just the right interval. I matched my touches to the appearance of the message and had s-off immediately.

No metronome needed. I hope this isn't old information and that it helps folks in the future.
[HTC Rezound] rjohnson2:
hey guys, noob here looking to get s-off so i can flash the new ics leak

right now my phone is unlocked via htc unlocker & rooted.

i downloaded the sdk tools package and that seemed to install fine. i also downloaded the controlbear package.

can someone give me some mini instructions for this?

the instructions basically just say to run controlbear and when i do it just says

starting up..

connecting to device....

connect device and install drivers

press ENTER to exit..

obviously im not exactly sure wth i am supposed to be doing :p
[HTC Rezound] Po1soNNN:
Thank you for this guide. It really cleared some things up about hboots
[HTC Rezound] mkotsayfan:
Having some serious problems with the wire trick. Tried cat5, primary wire, and insulated paperclip...all no dice. Downloaded the metronome to get a good feel for the timing too. The only thing I can think of is improper contact with the first pin (pin 1), but I would have to unscrew the back to get to the board, which voids the warranty right?
[HTC Rezound] luis86dr:
Your warranty was voided if you unlocked via HTCDev. As far as the contact pins, I would make sure your touching the correct two, and if you are actually touching the contact. You may be touching the plastic instead. Worth a look.

[HTC Rezound] mkotsayfan:
I didn't have the proper fitting to unscrew the back, but I think the problem isn't user error. More than a few times, I've noticed that if I establish proper contact between the two pins that windows shows some sort of usb hub error, that too much power is being drawn by the phone. Also, when establishing proper contact, the phone disconnects from my computer, reboots, and then the phone is recognized again about 15 seconds later. I'm sure the phone disconnecting from the computer means that controlbear.exe can't properly recognize when the wire trick has been successfully performed. Has anyone heard of this error? I'm connected to my laptop which is connected to a dock which looks like this:

[HTC Rezound] mkotsayfan:
I unplugged all other USB devices from my hub and rebooted...and it worked after a couple of minutes with the paperclip. I had to keep changing usb ports around, as controlbear.exe kept losing connection to the device, but I finally made it through.

[HTC Rezound] EtherBoo:
Hi All,

I wanted to share my experience S-OFFing (lol) and some things I wish I could have found some advice for. I used a paper clip. The paper clip was silver, but had a pastic tubing on it I removed. No electrical tape needed.

The pin has to touch once (on Windows 7, you'll hear the device disconnect as soon as proper contact is made), then again. For some reason, when I watched the video, I got the impression it had to be held down for 1.75 seconds. It took me 2 times once I realized this.

I'm on the ICS leak, I wish I did NOT flash the J-Bear Bootloader. Caused me problems with my internal and external SD cards. I also lost root. I had to run the ICS leak RUU to fix it. It relocked the boot loader, so another trip to HTC Dev to unlocked helped. I STILL had trouble with the external SD card, so I formatted it, which fixed the issue.

The second point is the one I wished I could find info on. If you have problems afterwards, RUU again and hope for the best, it fixed my problems right away.

[HTC Rezound] Jacrushar:
Hey guys,

I've been trying to get s-off and I am using v0.4. I have ran the ruu for ICS (so my phone says tampered).

When I run control bear it gets to a part where the phone reboots to the juopunutbear screen and the computer says it is waiting for the device to reconnect, and it counts to 45 seconds and then says to check adb and fastboot drivers. Then it keeps trying over and over again. I tried disconnecting the USB and reconnecting and the computer makes the sound that it connects but the program still doesn't see it.

Fastboot still works though because I was able to do a battery pull, reboot to bootloader, flash amon-ra, and reinstall the ROM I had running to get things back to normal. Any help is appreciated. I would really like to get S-Off.
[HTC Rezound] thatsricci:
you said you ran the ruu for ics, but the bootloader says tampered?

this means you have a non-stock bootloader installed...

flash a stock boot.img

Edit:... I just second guessed myself, trying to remember why the 'tampered' shows up. I thought it was a non-stock bootloader...
[HTC Rezound] mikion123:
this wire trick seems risky
[HTC Rezound] Jacrushar:
Yeah I don't remember ever installing a non-stock bootloader. All I know is I ran the RUU the way you were supposed to so I could run Nils Business ICS sense ROM without the patch, and it's been working great, but looks like I'm gonna need s-off eventually.
[HTC Rezound] thatsricci:
which ICS ruu did you use?
[HTC Rezound] Jacrushar:
Oh man.... uh I don't remember the link I used was in a forum that now has 200+ pages. It was from a few months back.
[HTC Rezound] thatsricci:
hmmm... so there's a chance you flashed a non-stock boot or recovery?

Do you have amonRa 3.15 installed?

also, what is your hboot & firmware version.
[HTC Rezound] Jacrushar:
This is what is says on the bootloader screen

VIGOR PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-2.21.0000

OpenDSP-v13.6.0.7611.00.0104

eMMC-boot

Mar 11 2012,22:16:16

I don't know where to check for the firmware version but I thought that's what the RUU did, updates the firmware.

and I haven't update amon ra to 3.15 yet, I am still on 3.13... does that make a difference?
[HTC Rezound] thatsricci:
just do a once-over of all the jpuntobear prerequisites...

make sure you rooted and are unlocked after installing that ruu you used.... maybe the root with amonRa 1.13 didn't work right? i know it works with amonRa 1.15

It says tampered because you unlocked via HTC Dev.

Crap, ok so I flashed the RUU like you guys said, so I had to go through the whole re-locking process, flashing, then re-unlocking process, and then I tried to run control bear again and this time I made it all the way to the wire trick. This was a good thing, except I kept getting the error still sober message, which means I timed it wrong, so I tried I think maybe 4 times before all of a sudden the phone won't mount to the computer anymore. Now I am stuck at the bootloader or the juopunutbear screen without being able to boot to recovery. The phone won't even mount in the bootloader so I can flash the recovery again... does this mean I bricked it?.....

Edit: Rebooted computer and got the phone to mount again in hboot so I could flash recovery, but apparently everything on my 16GB SD card got erased (thankfully I backed it up on my computer) so I had nothing to flash in recovery. I put the SD card into the computer and now it said I had to format it so I did and now it only shows it having 128kb capacity -_- what happened there... tried formatting it again, still no luck. So now I put in my old 2GB SD card to get my phone up and running again but now I'm back to square one again and also I have a broken 16GB SD card. Some help please. Sorry for cluttering this thred...
[HTC Rezound] thatsricci:
not to worry. The SD Card can be fixed, and there is threads on it if you search or browse under the s-off is official thread.

In the meantime... are you up and running on the latest leak RUU completely now? What's your version numbers on hboot..etc. or are you just back to recovery? I'd imagine you can restore a nandroid at this point to getyourself operational if you need to again, but I would recommend being on that latest leak as much as possible.

you can get some real-time help on IRC at the link below.. or channel "#JuopunutBear" on on freenode @ http://webchat.freenode.net/
[HTC Rezound] Jacrushar:
Alright I will seach for ways to fix the SD card.

And yes I am now on the 3.14.605 leaked firmware and I was able to copy over a nandroid back up I had on my computer to my 2GB SD card and that is up and running again.

In the boot loader it now says

HBOOT-1.25.0000

RADIO-1.22.10.0421r/1.22.10.0424r

and everything else is the same as before. Other than the date changed to Apr 12.

As far as S-Off-ing went, I made it to the wire trick and kept getting the error message "still sober" which I assume means I didn't do the wire trick correctly, but after about 4 tries the phone wouldn't mount to the computer anymore and I had to do a reboot on the computer to even be able to get it to connect again so I could flash recovery. Then the problem was the SD card crapped out so if that happens again I don't have another SD card to be able to save me so I can install a nandroid backup again. So I gotta fix the SD card first before I feel safe trying that again.

Edit: Finally got S-Off, the problem seemed to be the wire(paperclip) I was using wasn't insulated enough, I decided to try the wire trick while holding the wire through my shirt so I wasn't actually touching it and BAM! worked on the first try. Thanks for all you help guys. And this page is really helpful.

I ran it again, and I thought I had pulled it off finally. ControlBear got to Waiting for device.... and then proceeded to fail. I waited it out two times and then decided to start over.

Just to be certain

Coming from a Dinc, I am a little reluctant to take the plunge...

Just to recap, I want to be absolutely sure I'm reading everything correctly.

First I have to unlock the rezound with htc dev.

Then I can follow directions to s-off and this will lock my phone again but with s-off.

After this is done I should not unlock again, or phone will say relocked if I try to lock again for factory warranty.

Am I reading all of this correctly?

After s-off I will be able to flash like I did on Dinc?
[HTC Rezound] pwned3:
All correct

[HTC Rezound] Talguy:
First time poster long time troll here.

I tried to S-Off my phone last night after running CleanROM for a long time. I was successfull in getting S-Off using Hanson2000's All in One tool. I took my about 5 attempts at running juopunutbear and doing the wire trick before I finally got it. My current problem is that I was not able to flash a recover back onto the phone and when I boot into the bootloader I see that I do have S-Off but my bootloader is now saying it is locked again. FYI, I did not flash juopunutbear's hboot to my phone.

Now onto the questions:

Do you think not flashing the juopunutbear hboot is the problem?

Can I go back through the HTCDev unlock without a rom to unlock the bootloader?

Would redoing the juopunutbear process unlock my bootloader?

Am I total F@$K!!!!!!????????

Thanks,

Talguy
[HTC Rezound] topgun1953:
DON'T UNLOCK again. Its good to have locked showing. Ok...the stock hboot will not allow flashing recovery through fastboot. There are ph98img flashable versions of AmonRA floating around, that is what I used. The other option is to go and flash the JBHboot and then use fastboot to flash the recovery . Doesn't Hansoons tool have a menu item to install the jbhboot?
[HTC Rezound] Talguy:
Yea, he does have an option to install JBHboot. I'll try that when I get home from work. Thanks
[HTC Rezound] Jacrushar:
I have the stock hboot and when I s-offed I just unlocked again, was that a bad thing to do? I haven't had any problems.
[HTC Rezound] topgun1953:
I don't think it hurts your functionality. If you want to lock it for whatever reason in the future, it will show 'relocked'. IF you didn't unlock it again you could conceivably flash the GB Ruu and the write the s-on flag and your phone would look 100% stock.

Id say for 98.9992% of us, it doesn't matter.;)
[HTC Rezound] Jacrushar:
So I can't backward RUU with s-off unlocked stock hboot?
[HTC Rezound] Rosas:
question

Ok So I did s-off but used the stock firmware and on gingerbread. I want to install a rom with the new ics ruu leak but i already did s-off on gingerbread. Do i have to go back to s-on then install ics ruu and go s-off again with the ics version? trying to not brick my phone. I should have changed the firmware before hand but didn't read the FAQ only the instructions.
[HTC Rezound] Jacrushar:
Being s-off makes flashing the RUU easier because you don't have to re-lock or anything before hand, and you can go back to the GB firmware if need be.

Edit: Just remember that when you do the RUU back up everything on your internal SD card cause it will all be gone.
