I have been racking my brain over this!!! I can't find the utility that I used anywhere. I've looked in every folder I can think of on my computer with no luck. You can try the all in one utility in the stickies thread and I'll keep looking for the one I used in the meantime. All I know is that it was a command prompt style tool and it had blue text. About 6 or 7 options..... just in case any one else might know what I'm talking about.

Oh thank God i found it, i was going crazy... It's the ACS HTC supertool. Here's the link...

Finally got S-OFF but i am having a few issues. I'm on the old GB firmware running cleanroom 4.3 with firmware patch. I flashed the correct Jb, but i did accept the jb hboot. My problem is that my internal phone memory and sd card are non responsive. I've tried the fixes at the beginning of this thread with no luck. Should i just flash the newest leak? If so how do i do that from my computer (since i can't download to the sdcard?) Thanks!

Ok I relocked my phone but adb still won't see my phone. There's no option on the program to flash recovery...

---------- Post added at 10:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:18 PM ----------

ok this is weird. It won't see my phone in adb but will respond to some fastboot commands, only reboot. When it is plugged into the computer the phone automatically turns on and goes straight to hboot. Hboot still doesn't work, can't go to recovery or flash updates.
[HTC Rezound] tCizler:
Exactly, that's what I was trying to say. I may not have been clear. You have to download and flash the latest RUU leak. Unfortunately at that point, all is lost. If you had important stuff, hopefully you backed it up. Once you are stable again, and the phone at least boots, then relock and re flash recovery of your choice.
[HTC Rezound] tCizler:
Follow the link to the scottsroms.com website I posted on the previous page. In that thread, you can find a link to download the correct RUU to flash. It will only take about 5 minutes to download. All the other ones I found take 5+ hours. Just rename the download to PH98IMG.zip and put it on the root of your SD card. Make sure the battery is at LEAST 50% full. From what I understand, if your phone dies in the middle of flashing an ruu, it could be bricked for good, I may be wrong though.
[HTC Rezound] bkott425:
whats the command to flash the ruu through fastboot?
[HTC Rezound] tCizler:
There is no command, pull the SD card out, put the RUU on the SD card with a USB adapter or any kind of card reader. Make sure it is named PH98IMG.ZIP and then put it back into the phone. Boot into hboot again and the phone should find the file and run it automatically. If it doesn't start automatically, press the power button to select bootloader.
[HTC Rezound] bkott425:
nevermind i'm dumb. put it on my sd card and it doing something finally. will report back. fingers crossed.
[HTC Rezound] tCizler:
Oh yeah and as a heads up, it will start the first time and fail. When it fails, the phone will shut off. Pull the battery, and reinsert. Boot back into hboot and start the flash again. It will finish correctly the second time. And this time it will take about 20-25 minutes. Just let it go. It appears to do the same thing over and over, but it'll be fine. Just let it do it's thing. It'll boot to ics when it's done.
[HTC Rezound] bkott425:
It just shut off. Restarted the flash. I think you just saved my Rezound Thank you! :D

Going to S-OFF

I'm about to S-OFF my phone and just want to be clear on a few things.

I'm on 3.11.605.22, that is the ICS Firmware correct?

When I S-OFF, will I have to do the RUU to update to the latest firmware?
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
That is the original ICS leak, so yes you will use the ICS version of JuopunutBear.

You can stay on that leak afterward if you wish, but the latest 3.14 leak is much improved.
[HTC Rezound] tCizler:
Ok so i finally acheived s-off, After finding out i had a kink in my cable. Flipping my phone over and twisting the cable caused it to disconnect. It took me about 9 tries to get the timing right.... the 1.75 seconds it says to wait is crazy. It's more like 0.75. Once i watched the video and saw how fast they did it, i got it right the next time.
[HTC Rezound] Wendemixda:
Has anyone been able to achieve S-OFF while running Clean Rom ICS? I think I have downloaded all needed files but, when I run controlbear, it says it cannot connect to my device. I wonder if I need to be on a stock rom before I do it or if CLEAN ROM PRO is fine? Or anyone can give me a clue as to what I could have done wrong?
[HTC Rezound] tCizler:
You should be fine, I did it on cleanrom DE, and pro is a lot closer to stock. Make sure you have a good USB cord. I have 5 that wouldn't work, and only one that would work. They all charge the phone, but not connect to adb.
[HTC Rezound] Wendemixda:
I changed the usb cord to the original that came out with my phone and I uninstalled some HTC Sync and Itunes, which were said to be potential issues while running Controlbear. Now I get error message "error: more than one device or emulator" and then "seconday backup failed" and the process stopped.

Help!

Help--stuck with the green arrow

I thought I went through the instructions expicitly, but now I'm stuck wilth the JoupnutBear green arrow window and can't get out of it. I had an unlocked rooted Stock Rom. Downloaded the gingerbread version, went along for awhile and then gave me a dameon error message, then told me to hit exit button. I did that. Reran the program again and it told me to do the wire trick but I did it numerous times with no affect. It is now stuck on the screen. When I try to rerun it, it now tells me to install drivers. I have the updated ADB and Fastboot drivers. Help. How to I go forward.

Ok so I accidentally closed out of control bear and now when I restart the program it recognizes the device and then say's I need to connect device and install drivers. What exactly does this mean?

Yes well I apparently am an impatient little dumb ass XD I think I have it worked out now, i was using an old 4 gig card and now when I restart with that in I get the driver error but I decided to try and just wipe and install a new rom but I accidently left my 32 gb card in and then it worked and told me to do the trick, however I didn't because I didn't want to accidentally lose data but I have the 16 gb card that came with my phone so I might try that I will post results :)
[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
I didn't get as far as you did before I realized I booted with the wrong card in, and then opened the controlbear program, I mean literally as the window opened I realized it, yanked the cover, and pulled my battery and it was still too late and I lost everything on my 32 gig class 10, but it was early on and now it's way more careful about not losing your stuff for good. Best of luck on that. I back up every week or two and it was a great excuse to ask some chicks to send me some more pics, but it was still a pain.
[HTC Rezound] magicnanners:
Ok I don't think I'm doing this right, every time I do the wire trick once it takes my phone just shuts off and doesn't turn back on. I can turn it back on manually but then it allways gives me a still sober error. I am literally sweating because of this I am so like scared that I've screwed things up hella bad.:eek:

I got S-Off the second time around and it did wipe out my SD card. Luckily I had copied everything off to my PC before I started, so I just had to put the mSD card into a card reader on the PC, format it and then copy my stuff over to it and put it back in the phone. I will see if I can find some little SD card to use for when I do my GF's phone tomorrow. Thanks for the help!
[HTC Rezound] magicnanners:
Unfortunatly I backed up my internal storage but not my external and I accidently used my main card :( but thankfully I had titanium backup set to sync to google drive so I'll have to download that later, thankfully I didn't have any really irreplaceable data just more of an inconvenience.

Did you get everything up and running?

[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
The easy fix for those that do not have an extra SD card, is to

1) just plug your SD card into a card reader and back up entire card to folder on PC Desktop.

2) Do the S-Off as per instructions

3) Shut phone off and pull SD card.

4) Put in PC card reader, format(default, FAT32, quick format)

5) Copy contents back, including new ROM or whatever install file you need

6) Put SD card back in phone, reboot, Great success!
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
Phone works great now, but Amon Ra 3.15 cannot do a Nandroid. I tried the SD card fix in the OP, and it doesn't work. I type in the first command and get:

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

The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 472192.

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):

And it doesn't let me type in anything else, I press keys and nothing happens.

Any idears?

The SD card works, except that Amon Ra cannot seem to do a Nandroid, although it does install ROMs from the SD card without issue. I am stumped.
[HTC Rezound] magicnanners:
Yep, just about, I was thinking of upgrading to the ICS firmware but I wasn't able to find a tutorial on how to do so with S-OFF, yet... I'll keep looking, I figured I'd update before I spent a bunch of time re-installing apps when they will just be erased lol.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
My thoughts on the S-Off process after finally doing it today.

It took 2 tries, first time, didn't get the wire trick twice.

Second time, I just repeatedly tapped the ground until it told me it was checking.

After wire trick had worked, it said that it could not connect to the phone, flipped it over and it was in recovery (amon ra), rebooted the phone and it continued, installed the h boot and all was good.

Some observations:

1. It did not wipe amon ra, so I did not need to reinstall it.

2. It did not bork my sd card (extra 16gb I had lying around), phone saw the whole thing after the process.

3. No problems with Amon RA after process. It was able to see both internal and external sd cards and was able to restore my nandroid after installing latest leak and radios.

I'm really confused as to why people are still having problems with this.
[HTC Rezound] magicnanners:
Because some people have really bad luck XD

im planning on doing this with a paper clip and i think i found electric tape but im not sure. It says PVC tape is that the same as electric tape?
[HTC Rezound] Piaband:
Someone please help me.

I ran the entire process of S-off.

-downloaded the proper Junopunutbear file.

-unzipped the file into the fastboot folder.

-replaced the sd card with a spare

-phone was booted normally into cleanrom 4.5, plugged in to USB

-ran controlbear as administrator.

-everything went fine and it told me to do the wire trick. I did it and nothing happened. It just kept telling me to do the wire trick again and again. So I stopped the program.

-Now I tried to flash the original ph98img.zip boot img file from the Cleanrom 4.5 I was on. I got a write error.

"writing zip...FAILED <remote not allowed>"

I'm stuck. When I reboot the phone it just goes into the Juopunutbear screen. When I try to rerun Juopunutbear program, it fails and forces me to exit. The error code I get is 66732337, Error msg: Still sober

Please help. I'm really hope this can be fixed.

Edit, I used "fastboot flash zip ph98img.zip" when I received the FAILED error.
[HTC Rezound] Caladus:
Are you getting the timing right on the wire trick? That will cause the Still Sober error. I had to retry several times. Watch the video. It helps on the timing.

Also, the failed fastboot error is because the hboot that you're running doesn't support the dev fastboot flash commands. Can you put the img file on your sdcard?
[HTC Rezound] Piaband:
Yep, I put the boot.img on the sd card (had to pull the sd card from the phone). I then let it update from fastboot. Then I had to remove the sd card again, and this time remove the PH98IMG.zip from the sd card. Then I went into fastboot and did a factory reset. Then it rebooted back into cleanrom.

---------- Post added at 04:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:48 AM ----------

So this was very strange. I just ran Controlbear again and it did not go like the instructions describe, but it seems to have completed successfully.

After the wire trick, it seems like the program wasnt doing anything, so I pulled the battery to restart the device on my own. Well, when it rebooted, the controlbear program picked up where it left off and completed successfully. It booted into a flashboot screen showing s-off. It also asked me to install hboot which I agreed to obviously.

Then it rebooted into fastboot. I clicked "reboot." and it rebooted TWICE, then it booted right up into CleanRom as I had before.

Is there any way to check and make sure I am s-off?
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
Should work fine. As long as it's not metallic.

I'm on the leaked firmware and I'm locked and unrooted. Let's say I pull a pc out of my ass ( because I have a mac:( ) and I use the all in 1 toolkit to get unlocked and load up a Rom. If I'm correct my hboot would then say "tampered " right? If I do s-off after this, and I flash the hboot they provide will the tampered go away and will it say s-off and locked instead of s-on and unlocked

I'm stuck at the same point. I'm in Linux Mint (I'm Linux saavy, use it every day) and it ran successfully the first time but the exploit didn't work so I attempted to try it again. I booted into cleanROM and noticed that the SDcard was screwed up and figured that was maybe the reason why it kept saying "no beer for bear tonight" when I tried to re-run it, so I fixed the sdcard and re-ran it, but it said the same thing. I booted into fastboot and ran controlbear over again but still got "no beer for bear tonight". Everything works fine, except I'm assuming my radio is screwed up because I don't have a cell signal or data connection, wifi works fine though.
