leave the phone connected and the program running. pull the battery, and place it back in. I did this several times and the program picked up the phone and just continued going on until either failure and it closed (still sober), or success. If this process fails (which it might, it did on me a few times too) then you will have to boot to fastboot, and flash a kernel. I skipped flashing recovery at this point every time I did it.
[HTC Rezound] kkeller87:
Does anyone wanna come over to my house and do this for me? Ive tried about 5342 times and cant time this right to save my life.
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
It doesn't really give me an option to continue, it just just says hit enter to exit. And when I stick the battery back in it boots to fastboot.
[HTC Rezound] Insidious:
I've cant get the wire trick to work... I want to postpone it but whenever I boot it boots to the juonuptobear screen. What do I do to get back to my rom?
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
If it gets stuck at "waiting device" then just pull the battery and put it back in. The phone will automatically restart, and the program should pick it up and just keep going on its own.

If you get all the way to the "still sober" error message, there is nothing to do but try again. Get the phone booted back up normally, and run juopunutbear again.

---------- Post added at 02:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:38 AM ----------

1) pull battery

2) put it back in

3) hold power on + vol down to get to hboot

4) go to fastboot

5) flash a kernel and then flash recovery

6) reboot
[HTC Rezound] cynikalJ:
I had trouble with the wire trick at first but when I realized I had to literally press the ground down (meaning depress it) itwork perfectly
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
I don't get either of those options.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
Ahh, ok I see. Two possible issues. Either ADB cant see the device, or Fastboot cant see it.

open a command prompt, navigate to that folder, and try the command "fastboot devices" while the phone is connected and at the bootloader in fastboot mode. If you see a device, then reboot into the ROM and type "adb devices" and make sure its visible there too. You have USB debugging enabled right?

**edit**

Nevermind I feel like a tard. I see whats going on now. you're running Windows INSIDE a Virtual Machine! Boot into Windows natively, then do it.
[HTC Rezound] localceleb:
looks like a mac running virtual windows
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
Fastboot can't see it. And I can't reboot into a ROM, it reboots to the junoptbears recovery thing. So I'm kinda ****ed if I can't use fastboot. Can't flash a kernel or recovery.

I've never had a problem with parallels. Not sure that's the issue. I use it for everything.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
You might be able to run Windows in parallels but I'm not sure if it has the capability of passing the USB device to the Virtual Machine, which is necessary for this to work. Otherwise, I'm sure you can get fastboot and adb to work natively from your Mac to get the phone working again. But if you're running juopunutbear for S-OFF, the OS definitely needs direct access to the USB device. With parallels on a Mac, you should be able to reboot directly into windows, or am I mistaken on that?
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
Yeah, I'll just fastboot from OS X. You need bootcamp to run it natively. Thanks for the help!
[HTC Rezound] Insidious:
You have just saved my life sir! Thanks a million!
[HTC Rezound] mike.s:
If you use it for everything, you should run Windoze natively on commodity hardware, it would be faster and cheaper. :D
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
If you have the a windows disk, you can use VirtualBox because it does have the capability to allow the guest OS direct access to USB devices plugged into the host computer, but that seems like quite a bit of work honestly...
[HTC Rezound] murhaava1:
Another success here!!!!! First time I've ever done anything like this. My heart was pounding haha. I used the GB windows v2.0.1 version. Everything went without a hitch. I also used a paper clip wrapped in electrical tape for anyone that is still having troubles.
[HTC Rezound] Insidious:
awh crap, it wont let me install the kernel. it keeps failing on signature verification. I was able to flash amon ra, and im going in and trying to install cleanrom 4.2 and use the ph98img route.

Edit: cleanrom is booting! The anticipation is killing me! I really appreciate you helping out a noob like me.

edit again: She boots! We have success! I'll try s-off again this weekend.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
Maybe try finding that kernel from another source just to be sure the file isnt corrupted? Otherwise reflashing your rom should take care of it.

However, I didn't have to do anything but flash a new boot.img and recovery.img file from fastboot. Juopunutbear didn't do anything to my internal data so my device was as if nothing had happened to it in between my failed attempts. Even after successfully getting S-Off, I just reflashed my original kernel and recovery and it was as if nothing ever happened to my phone, other than S-ON turning OFF.
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
**** me dead, fastboot in OS X can't seem to load images at all. Anyone have any ideas?

Error messages:

error: cannot load 'recovery-ra-vigor-3.13-gnm.img'

error: cannot load 'boot.img'
[HTC Rezound] localceleb:
WELLLL...after investing probably 10+ hours in trying probably 20 different methods/rom combos/black magic i have finally succeeded. I know it sounds crazy that I would have so much trouble considering its a damn automated process, but for whatever reason I had a hell of a time with this and it doesnt sound like I'm the only one. I am going to start by saying that I have quite a bit of experience with android and adb, but I cannot explain why it worked for me finally. Pretty crazy.

My steps: I'm running the latest firmware leak btw

1) relock

2)reflash RUU

3)Let it boot up and settle for about 10 minutes (went to the fridge and got myself a delicious beer...was inspired by all the beer references)

4)unlock bootloader

5)flash recovery

6)flash cleanrom 4.3

7)let it boot and bypassed setup and let it settle for 10 mins (beer #2)

8)ran controlbear (everything seemed to happen in a different order this time and i even saw some new command lines that i never saw before...who knows)

9)wire trick (someone mentioned in a post a page back that he actually applied pressure and decompressed the ground post. I tried this and it worked. It was the only variable that I haven't tried yet and I succeeded this time. So that could have been it. Used a paperclip wrapped in electrical tape and actually pressed down on the ground.

10)Most important step - Celebratory BEER!

Good luck everyone :)
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
Honestly don't know if its fastboot drivers or if you have to do something special because I'm a total idiot when it comes to using Macs, but what I can tell you is the proper commands:

to flash the recovery image:

fastboot flash recovery recovery-ra-vigor-3.13-gnm.img

and to flash a kernel to the boot partition:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

Obviously you have to have the proper images in the same folder as the fastboot application on your computer, and use the proper image names if they differ from my example..
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
Gah, fixed it. I never use OS X for adb or fastboot so I didn't know you had to include the full file path.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
Good to know, in case I ever get stuck with a broken phone and a Mac... On linux and windows both, if you just drop your images into the same folder as fastboot or adb you can omit the full path and just use the file name.
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
Yeah, I assumed it worked the same way for Mac as it does for Windows. I use Windows for all my adb/fastboot work.

Gonna have to figure out how to get this program to run on Parallels or install Windows natively.

Not to make fun of you, but Ctrl+C is the command to CLOSE the command prompt window. They are letting you know, that if those aren't the correct mappings, you have 5 seconds to cancel before it breaks things on your phone. You're not supposed to do that if everything is OK.

Did you boot into windows natively or were you in MacOS? How did you get Windows to recognize the phone if it was loaded up inside MacOS?
[HTC Rezound] Land Master:
No I did not boot natively. Osx was running the entire time. Was using win 7 32bit in a VM.

When you insert a USB device parallels prompts you to mount it in osx or the VM. Obviously I selected the VM.

[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
Yeah, I'm pretty sure Parallels isn't the problem. I do a lot of fastboot/adb stuff, including unlocking my phone, etc.. in Parallels and it isn't a problem.
[HTC Rezound] xceebeex:
Ok, I am stuck at the juopunutbear screen and when I try and run control bear it says to connect device and press enter to exit.

What do I do from here? Also, when do you run Control Bear? I went to fastboot and ran it while in fastboot and it rebooted the phone. So then I ran it when the phone was booted up and it looked like it started to work, but i never got the message to do the wire trick. It basically said that daemon started successfully and then eventually went to something about daemon not running.

EDIT: I just reflashed recovery and am trying to load my nand backup right now. So hopefully that gets me to booting again. Still not sure what went on before I got stuck though. Any ideas?
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
Sweet, thanks for the tips! I don't use Macs much so there's like this entire other world of computers that I know pretty much nothing about...
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
I had that problem too. Not sure what the cause is. For some reason your computer and phone aren't talking.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
You aren't rooted, or the su binary on your system is located in some weird location where its not normally located.
[HTC Rezound] derickmc:
I searched the thread as much as I could and couldnt find any answer to this problem. I successfully got S-Off after about 10 tries. My questions is: Is the program supposed to restore the boot and recover backups it made?

The program did not re-install the backups so I had no recovery.. I went ahead and flashed amon-ra manually and am now in the process of restoring contents to my SD Card so I can reload my nandroid of my rom. I'm just curious if the program was supposed to restore these backups for me. Thanks
[HTC Rezound] xceebeex:
But it started to work, it even created the boot backup and whatnot. Are we supposed to run Control Bear from fastboot? hboot? with the phone booted up?
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
On mine, after I got S-OFF, it rebooted into the ROM just like normal.... so I'd say yes, its definitely supposed to restore the backups when it works correctly.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
No, I don't think it restores anything. Most folks end up having to reflash recovery and boot image, but nothing should be erased unless you used your "main" sdcard instead of a replacement.

Sent into the innertubes from my Rezound.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
with juopunutbear still running on your computer and your phone still connected, if it gets stuck just pull the battery and then put it back. the phone should restart itself and juopunutbear should just see it again and try to continue where it last left off.

[HTC Rezound] xceebeex:
While it was running it seemed to be in a loop where it started daemon and then it said not running and then adb out of date and it did that a few times before saying hit enter to exit.

I pulled the battery and it went back to that screen but control bear said connect the device (like it didn't see it).

EDIT: And apparently just flashing my nand backup doesn't get me back running so I am really lost now.
[HTC Rezound] derickmc:
I didnt have a replacement so I had to transfer the contents to my PC before I got S-Off. That was expected so thats not an issue. thanks

Hmm.. Well that didnt happen with me.. no big deal though. Amon-Ra flashed just fine and I've got my ROM and boot.img restored and booting up now.

Thanks for the speedy replies guys. :)
[HTC Rezound] ljh77128:
What should I do???

Give me a hand! Thank you
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
You need to flash a kernel--flash a boot.img from fastboot.
[HTC Rezound] xceebeex:
Yea, I just figured that out. I flashed the boot_backup image that the Control Bear program created. So now I just have to figure out what went wrong. Am I supposed to run Control Bear while the phone is booted up normally or should I be in fast boot or hboot?
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
LOL really? You mean you did all this stuff to your phone that could potentially destroy it, and you didn't even read all the instructions first??! OK, now go ahead and facepalm for a second....

...OK lecture over.

1) Go to the development section, find the Amon Ra recovery thread, and find somewhere in there the latest version 3.15 and download it (check around page 48)

2) extract the .img file to a folder somewhere on your computer where you have the fastboot and adb applications located

3) turn off the phone. Boot it into fastboot by holding volume-down and power, then selecting fastboot at the menu

4) plug phone into computer - wait for phone to say "fastboot - usb"

5) type the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery-ra-3.15-gnm.img" to flash the file (make sure the filename matches, that was from memory)

6) then type "fastboot reboot recovery"

7) Once Amone Ra boots, go to the developers menu and then select install su from there.

Yes, I just typed all that out for you, even though its all readily available with a simple SEARCH. You're welcome.
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
You're supposed to do it while the phone is booted up normally. I'm having the same problem as you, so let me know if you figure it out.
[HTC Rezound] ljh77128:
Thank you, I Zai have a try...:)
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
After you do that you'll have root. THEN do the juopunutbear exploit to get S-OFF. Just please please please read everything you can so you know what and why you're actually going through all the BS for.
[HTC Rezound] graymonkey44:
You better at least hit the thank you button on his post for putting in the effort to write that.

[HTC Rezound] xceebeex:
Well I was almost there...I kept having to reopen the Control Bear program and it got closer and closer and then eventually started over again. So I did the wire trick a second time and it rebooting and said waiting for device and the phone never rebooted, it just turned off......

.....and now I think I am bricked. I get nothing. No LED notification light (that shows the phone charging or whatnot) or anything. Is there anything else that I can try? Or am I bricked? This blows.

It was fully charged (at least over 90%) and then it was always plugged in to my laptop so I wouldn't think the rebooting (or wire trick) would drain that much battery.

Is there anything I can check to confirm if it is bricked or not? I can't get it to do anything. I even tried plugging back in to the wall charger to see if the LED would come on and nothing.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
Need more info to help you. As far as I can see, the program exited right away, so I don't think it was run at the proper time.

[HTC Rezound] ljh77128:
Thank you for your reply, I have a try...
[HTC Rezound] xceebeex:
Well I don't know what the heck I did, but I got out my multimeter and tested the battery and got 4.2V so it definitely wasn't a dead battery. So then I tested the contacts on the phone with the USB plugged in to the computer and got 4.2V so I was really confused as to why it didn't work. So I unplugged the USB to make sure the voltage went down close to 0 and it did. So just for the heck of it, I put the battery back in and it came back up.

That was the weirdest thing ever.
[HTC Rezound] tpulu:
This might have happened to me as well, plugged it in, did nothing, wouldn't turn on when I pressed the power button. I panicked, took a breath and removed the battery, put it back in, and prayed it would turn on when I pressed the power button and it did! If you haven't tried that yet, please do. Hope you get it going!

Edit: glad you got it going... I know I was ****ting bricks (no pun intended) when my phone wasn't turning on.lol
[HTC Rezound] xceebeex:
The weird thing for me was that I removed the battery a bunch of times, I even tried removed the SIM card and everything and nothing was working. That is when I got my multimeter to start testing things and then it randomly worked.

Now if I can just get this Control Bear to work right. I have to re-start it a bunch of times because I keep getting the daemon not running error.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
Hey, at least you have a multimeter around and a good idea how the f--k to use it! Nice job!
[HTC Rezound] xceebeex:
What the heck!!! It just happened again!?!?!?!?!

I finally got Control Bear running again and it said S-off failed with some error number that started with 67.... and that I am still sober.

So I restarted Control Bear again, and it actually started kind of from scratch and had me do the wire trick again. As soon as I got it, it said waiting for device and then the same stupid thing has happened.

Now I have to see if I can get it working again. I don't know what the heck is going on.

EDIT: And what do you know, as soon as I tested the contacts on the phone to verify voltage it worked again. I am sooooooo confused.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
That happened to me several times before I got it right. Try doing the wire trick backwards and holding the ground contact down with the wire while touching the contact in the hole with the other end of the wire. I found this was much easier for me. I don't know why the phone fails to respond for a minute or so, but everything else seems similar with my experience.
[HTC Rezound] maximus20895:
I can't do this damn wire ****.
[HTC Rezound] xceebeex:
I think I am about to give up for the night. Every time I do the wire trick now and get the waiting for device prompt (which makes me think I did it right) the phone goes in this weird state where I have to use my multimeter to wake it back up. Then when I do, it goes through the process and comes back with the 667....error.
