You have to get the timing just right. I just did it about 5 minutes ago. It took me about 5x to get it. When you do get it, you will see JuopunutBear updating in the prompt window and the phone reboots. Just keep at it.
[HTC Rezound] Piaband:
For me, it seemed like controlbear would not recognize my wire trick. So I ended up just doing the wire trick and the forcing a restart by pulling the battery. Worked for me.

Rezound, rooted, loving it.
[HTC Rezound] ronartest2005:
Thanks for the walk through, I got s-off in about 5mins.
[HTC Rezound] nes4r2:
**** that was nerve reckoning, I did it tho so do I just go ahead and unlock the boot loader again via the all in one tool? Also I heard that re flashing AR is recommended?
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
No...do not reunlock
[HTC Rezound] nes4r2:
**** I did it already X.. I am ****ed?

Oh I see why, it resets your phone lol facepalm.jpg

What was the real next step after S-off?

O just read the "do not unlock after s-off" thread nah I don't care I am sure there will be a work around soon if I ever need to take my phone back all good.
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
It doesn't matter if you do. It resets but that's it. It doesn't negatively impact your phone THAT much except you lose a few texts and apps

So I have read almost this whole thread.And I still have to ask. Do we have to reload the Rom when we complete this.
[HTC Rezound] Abu-7abash:
Reflash you mean? Yeah, it wipes your system partition among the other stuff.
[HTC Rezound] tCizler:
My rom was intact, i did NOT have to reflash
[HTC Rezound] Piaband:
I also did not have to reflash. And I believe the instructions indicate that the rom should still work just fine.

Do not do that. No need.

why no need for unlocking is it because i have s-OFF now and i only needed to be unlocked prior to S-off

Thanks for the reply. Did finally get radio working again.
[HTC Rezound] putney1477:
I was trying the s off thing and its just not going to happen. I guess I am having driver issues. All I want to do now is lock my damn phone, flash ruu, unlock, flash amonra, and restore a back up.

Right now I am stuck on jbear screen. I cant even type in command prompt to relock.

I need help with my drivers please :)
[HTC Rezound] Abu-7abash:
Is it bootloader unlocked?
[HTC Rezound] putney1477:
Yes it was unlocked. I ended up relocking, flashing ruu, unlocking, flashing amonra and restoring a nandroid.

Im not so sure I will try s off again.....scary for me.

I'm going to install HTC sync and hopefully it will resold my driver issues.

You didn't have to do all this, simply fastboot flashing the recovery then any rom from there would have got you out of the bootloop.
[HTC Rezound] platypuss94:
s-off but no boot?

so i did the wire trick and the phoje is s-off now but there is no boot when i press reboot. i have tried all the options in the boot loader menu and nothing has worked. i have tried to flash a recover via fastboot but it failed. when i try to reboot into recovery it just boots back into fast boot. =( any ideas would be great.

thanks
[HTC Rezound] splatoid:
Im am definitely not an expert but I think if you keep getting the fastboot you still have the PM89IMG on your SD card You need to remove that file to get into recovery.
[HTC Rezound] platypuss94:
is that in reply to me?
[HTC Rezound] splatoid:
Sorry Yes

i dont have an img on the card. it gets into bootloader and fastboot just fine
[HTC Rezound] sudoscientist:
ADB/Driver issue, now SD card unrecognised

I initially got the startup error with controlbear saying that the device wasn't found and I needed to install drivers (although I've unlocked, relocked, and flashed several things with ADB and this phone). I then downloaded and installed the Stock Vigor rom as suggested by someone around the 170 page mark, along with the proper boot.img for it. Now, I still have the same problem but the phone also won't read my SD card - however, putting in another phone, and connecting it to my computer's card reader, there is no problem, so it's something with my Rezound. I guess I'll try to RUU and see where it goes from there.

Update: I tried downloading the RUU zip from scott's site, but my phone refuses to flash it. Hboot read the file, for maybe a minute or two, and then just returns me to the main hboot menu. I also tried the exe method, but my computer still can't find the phone at all, and even with another SD card, I can't mount from within Android. Thing I might have really broken something here.

Update 2: I actually can't even get the phone to respond in fastboot, on either my desktop or laptop. I am actually running Windows 8 Consumer Preview on both, which I suspect may be the culprit here. I don't really want to reformat my entire computer as a possible fix to get S-OFF so I'll have to try to figure out something.
[HTC Rezound] kodiak799:
You guys who are having issues, I had some of the same. Post #5 in the below thread got me thru it.

I only had to do the first 5 steps (flash the patch - which should fix sd issues, then the rooted Vigor rom, and then the boot img) and then re-run controlbear as admin.

I struggled after losing my sdcards also. You can format directly in your computer and copy the zips you need to run to that card, then put it back in your phone. From Amon-Ra you can flash the zips by selecting the sdcard you put them on.

For his step 5, let me clarify as this is important:

Use the Developer menu in Amon Ra to reboot into Fastboot. Then make sure you are in fastboot usb. Copy the boot.img to your Fastboot directory on your pc, and then type (without quotes) "fastboot flash boot boot.img"

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1563650

Then after I was s-off, I updated the latest radios to ICS firmware. Flashed Cleanrom Pro, then updated radios again just for good measure.

Sounds like you might need to re-install ADB and HTC drivers. There's a link somewhere around here for a universal ADB driver (right click devices on your computer, select the phone/ADB driver, and then browse that download). Then uninstall HTC drivers and re-run HTC Sync install to refresh the HTC drivers.

Also, if you are in a controlbear loop then you might try "controlbear -f" to fix. Otherwise if your phone will go into fastboot/bootloader you should be able to recover (unless your drivers are whacked).

Yes, its a conductive piece of metal. Use the ones that are coated in plastic or wrap black tape around the part you touch. So static electricity doesnt fry anything. I have yet to hear anyone say it has fried a device though. Strictly cautionary measure

I would try typing this in from your pc (with phone connected via USB in fastboot) first:

Try reflashing your kernel.

I have had the s-off procedure fail on two different phones now and had to reflash the kernel on both to get them running again.

I must have spent 2 hours on the first one trying the procedure over and over before giving up. All I really wanted to do was flash to innefilibis ics v1.0 so I finally gave up and flashed the ROM and boot image and it runs perfectly.

[HTC Rezound] fudplayers:
I'm not real sure what I'm doing wrong but I've been working at this for going on 3 days now. Think I've read every thread associated with s-off. Controlbear won't even run. It says cannot find the path specified to connect device and install drivers. I have uninstalled and reinstalled HTC Sync with the drivers 2x now. I run as administrator in windows 7. I have Scott's Stock Rooted 3.14 ICS ROM on the phone with 2.21.0000 hboot. Amon Ra recovery. I'm using the ControlBear for windows ICS 3.14. The one thing that seems suspicious is when i click on Htc Sync it always says the phone isnt connected no matter what I set it on (sdcard,htc sync etc). The laptop "sees" the phone, sees the internal and external sd cards. I'm at a loss.

[HTC Rezound] Calibob2001:
This is not working for me. I've installed a few different roms now and whenever I turn on the phone it has the JuopunurBear screen.

I suppose I'll try relocking and see if that fixes the issue

FYI I never got the wire thing to work. The CMD Prompt said to so it and I did, but the phone never reset- it didnt do anything... Now I'm stuck at this screen every time I turn on the phone

Update: I had to flash a Stock Kernal and then an OTA Rom, good to go. I tried it again and seemed to get farther, but there was a random error and exited without giving me more information. I am now re-installing the OTA Rom and going to try again.

Just in case someone else is in my shoes and keeps getting stuck with the JuopunurBear screen, Install Recovery with the noob tool, HERE, and then install the ROM from HERE, and then the Stock kernel from the noob tool. It gets me back into the stock ROM so I can try again... I hope this helps someone

[HTC Rezound] Jefffet27:
s-off/hboot snafu.....how to proceed?

I too had the same problem but some tinkering and a factory reset seemed to fix it. Now I can't access my memory. After much reading on these and other forums, I believe I used the wrong version of controlbear and updated my hboot from a GB hboot to an ICS hboot. I know one fix is to flash a GB hboot and that should fix my problems. However, I want to upgrade to the latest and greatest ICS experience. Is it possible to skip the hboot fix and go directly to an ICS rom with ICS rom/firmware that is compatible with my new hboot? Do I need to use the newest RUU to update my firmware and then flash a new rom? I'm hoping for a little guidance here fellas.
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
Yeah, just take the 3.14.605.5 PH98IMG.zip file and place it on your SD card as well as the ROM you wish to eventually load. Then boot to the bootloader and it will install v2.25 HBOOT, all the firmware and the base ROM. At some point it will reboot to bootloader and read the PH98IMG.zip file again and ask if you wish to upgrade. Choose YES. That's right...install the PH98IMG.zip file twice. Then go into recovery and install the ROM of your choice from the previously loaded zip file on the SD card.
[HTC Rezound] Jefffet27:
redbean, thanks for the quick response. I'm going to attempt this tonight. I have a dumb question for you. On the xda page for firmware 3.14.605.5 there's a note next to the ph98img that states "This is only for S-ON Devices or people that want to flash the kernel to an older build / leak!" Will your method still work for me even though my phone is s-off?
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
I see. You are referring to the firmware thread which means you are only planning on flashing the firmware and not the full 3.14.605.5 firmware/ROM as well. That's fine. You can just flash that firmware, then go to recovery and flash the ROM of your choice. I flashed the [ICS][2.25][JB][5-7]PH98IMG.zip file to get the latest leak firmware. So yes, no worries. S-OFF allows you to flash any of those firmware versions.

[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
If you don't use fastboot commands and you don't mind that huge "tampered" warning on the stock hboot screen then yes you can keep the stock hboot. I would highly suggest running the JBear ICS boot though..you don't have the warning and can use whichever fastboot commands your heart desires.

There are some pics earlier in the thread or you can just watch the video.

Just get a paperclip (preferably) the large one and tape it up only exposing the tips.
