HBOOT-2.21.0000

RADIO-1.22.10.0310r/1.22.10.0308r

is OpenDSP-v13.6.0.7611.00.0104 my firmware? I did flash the 3.11.605.22 RUU and I'm on ICS if that helps.

Is Bootloader actually seperate from HBOOT? I can get into HBOOT and Fastboot.

i cannot get my internal or sd to flash menus in recovery. when im booted i can get internal to load.
[HTC Rezound] Hag77:
Alright- I'm about to try this SOB... Anything I should know since the OP and the the 50 or so pages I've had a chance to read? If I'm using the ICS fw- I can still go ahead and select yes to use their hb?
[HTC Rezound] shawnshawn90:
Not really working out for me... All control bear keeps saying is starting up, no beer for bear tonight. I have followed all the instructions and tired both versions. I had the same issuse no not really is having earlier today and managed to get my Rom to boot back up and now I'm trying to get s-off again and I keep getting that message. Please help!
[HTC Rezound] Max725:
If you use v0.2, you can accept their hboot, but I and some others have been having issues with the backup step in v0.2. (see my earlier post (below) for a more detailed description).

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25190896&postcount=798

v0.1 worked for me, but as I explained in the aforelinked post, it has the wrong hboot in it, so you can install the correct hboot afterwards. v0.1 will also mess up your SD card, so you will need to reformat it, preferably with a PC and a card reader.

P.S... My tenth post!
[HTC Rezound] maxearing:
well i think im officially calling it a night. i still cannot get it to work. i have had 6+ hours of work on this and and i am just about done and staying s-on.
[HTC Rezound] xceebeex:
For some reason I can't even get one click to work right. It says that it worked, but there were a bunch of errors when trying to install busybox, super user, etc so I am not really rooted.

I can't figure out what it is, it was saying it doesn't have write access but I have debugging turned on. I got Amon Ra to install though.

EDIT: Nevermind, I think I figured it out. I didn't realize you could install su from recovery.
[HTC Rezound] bgmikejr:
Can you tell me what your HBOOT Version is cause I achieved S-Off but was never asked to install the HBOOT from v0.1 and also I am running on the ICS Firmware. I never used the zip to install the HBOOT so I have S-Off and my HBOOT Version is 2.21.0000
[HTC Rezound] Hag77:
Alright- so I think things are going good- just not sure what I should do here..

Let's take one more......

Aaaah, nice sunny day!!

[HTC Rezound] Max725:
I have JuopunutBear's modified version of HBOOT 2.21.2121.

I installed it after getting S-OFF like so:
[HTC Rezound] bgmikejr:
Mine did the same thing minus the:

Rebooting RUU mode.......

Waiting device....

So I just pulled the battery and then booted into bootloader and it said S-Off.

Ok thanks, anyone know what the benefit is of flashing the modified HBOOT 2.21.2121???
[HTC Rezound] Max725:
Go to Amon Ra's Developer menu and select Reboot to bootloader. I know the instructions say not to press anything, but mine also got stuck here and this worked—ControlBear found the device and continued to run. And I believe this has been the case with many people.
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
I'm amazed at the time people are putting into this... I think I spent more time looking for a piece of wire and taking off the cover than actually doing the process itself.

I watched the video first, then read the instructions several times... took the cover off and made sure I knew where the contacts were with the phone off, practiced a couple times hitting the contacts. Connected the cable to the phone (used the original since it locks in better than std MicroUSB connectors), and did the process.

I did get stuck a bit after the first reboot, but I shut the phone off and restarted it and the process continued until success.

The only residual issue that I have is with making a nandroid backup with AmonRa, but the new TWRP recovery works. I think the mount points are messed up, but not sure... the phone is working great and I've even changed the splash screen a couple times now.
[HTC Rezound] Max725:
The only difference seems to be the addition of ENG commands (someone else can give more details about this), and the text "= JuopunutBear =" instead of "Tampered/Locked"
[HTC Rezound] Hag77:
Thanks for the suggestions- after stuck at "waiting for device"- I rebooted to bootloader from amon- it came back but just said "device already s-off" or something like that and told me to hit enter to exit.. It never asked me if I wanted to use their hboot (thought others said that it did).. Also, my rom booted up normally- didn't have to do anything and also my ext_sd was not wiped.. Is it that easy?

edit: also- hboot says tampered/locked/s-off- that normal?

This is as far as I ever really get, if I wait long enough it will say "waiting for device..."

The rezound displays a black screen with the silver htc logo and does nothing

If I unplug the rezound the screen changes to a bootloader screen but the only option is "RUU" which is highlighted but can't be selected (by pushing power) and reconnecting will change the screen back to black with htc logo

any thoughts?

Hello friend,My mobile phone brush rezound_ics_androidpolice_3.11,4.0.3

HBOOT: 2.21

How should I unlock off
[HTC Rezound] nnnnr14:
I connected my phone my computer and when I tried to put my music back on the internal it said I need to format before I can use it. Should I?
[HTC Rezound] NoNotReally:
Can someone please tell me whether or not my phone is bricked?
[HTC Rezound] badogg:
If you can get to hboot, then probably not. Probably just need to flash amon ra, and you're ROM's boot.img. Then start over
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Idk why but I giggled like a little school girl when I read that.
[HTC Rezound] Hag77:
Ok- so upon further reading it looks like I got s-off- but maybe interrupted the process or something so it never flashed their version of hboot.. I'll prob unlock and do that.. Still very curious as to why my ext_sd didn't get formatted. Anyone else have that happen?
[HTC Rezound] trickster2369:
If you are using the .1 s-off exploit for ics and flash the hboot that came with it, it will format your INTERNAL sd card. At least it did mine.
[HTC Rezound] Hag77:
Yea- I thought that any version (.1 or .2) though formatted the external removable SD.. Mine is intact.
[HTC Rezound] abracadabra1:
Did you check and make sure USB debugging is enabled on your phone and HTC Sync is not running on your computer?
[HTC Rezound] trickster2369:
My bad. I used a spare 2gb card I had when I did it. :rolleyes:
[HTC Rezound] tholmes8291:
So would removing v.01 hboot and replacing with v.02 hboot and using a spare SD be smooth sailing? New FW.
[HTC Rezound] vprasad1:
Windows 7 x64 user here--

I'm "Still sober"ing but at least it's not crashing as before.

I managed to change a few variables simultaneously and eliminated "segmentation fault", and a few other crazy crashes I was getting even after rebooting both PC and phone. I have no idea which/which combo fixed those, but here were the variables that I adjusted:

-performed Windows Update (let's say I was a bit behind the times)

-formatted the spare SD card

-cleared my local profile's temp directory

-installed Amon Ra 3.15

Now it's just a matter of re-launching the controlbear.exe right after getting the "Still sober Quit.... Press ENTER to exit....." and going through the motions. Prior to whatever I did with those previously mentioned variables, I wasn't even getting Juopunut showing on my phone and was getting unusual crashes including the "segmentation fault".

I'm going to keep on trying until I get tired of the monotony :-D.
[HTC Rezound] Hotweelz66:
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr........getting really frustrated!!:mad:

Sorry, just venting.

Is there anyone here that would be willing to help me?
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
For everybody who is having problems doing the wire trick, I have a suggestion that really helped me.

First of all, that tiny little ground pin is too small to try and hit for me. And second of all, I wasn't able to keep solid contact on the Pin1 pin.

What I decided to do instead was use the little bit of the USB plug from the cable sticking out of the phone as my ground (the outside contact is always ground) and since I could stick the cable there and be sure there was contact without having to hold it, I used the other end of the wire to more carefully hit the pin1 contact with the end of the wire. this made timing and accuracy much easier for me, and I finally got it on the first attemt this way after hours of trying it the other way first.

**edit**

Also, I used a cat5e wire to do this, and I stripped about half an inch from the end that I put into the hole for pin 1, and then I bent the exposed part in the middle and creased it so that the conductive part going into the hole and touching the contact was the curved side of the wire. This makes the contact area of the wire larger, and it also makes contact with the side of the wire rather than the end, which should minimize damage to the contact and surrounding board as was shown on the OP in the link.
[HTC Rezound] jonno95:
My problem

I needed the "WINDOWS (GINGERBREAD)" so i downloaded it from http://unlimited.io/juopunutbear-public-beta-0-1/instructions/htc-rezound/

was getting the backup failed.

An hour later i re downloaded it from the same place. Then i started getting the error where it would never tell me to do the wire trick.

From there i tried many things. One was to go back to and download the ics 0.1 version.

After nothing worked, i flashed amon-ra again then ineffabilis, then i tried it once more with the newer .2 gingerbread and it errored out so then i tried the 0.1 ics and i finally got the message to do the wire trick. Got it my first try.

My point... i think people are having problems with the gingerbread .2 version, and since there were 2 verions of it there are 2 versions of the errors (backup failed, and never getting the message to do the wiretrick). I say start with a fresh rom and just go with the ics 0.1, that's what finally worked for me. Also, the second version of .2 gingerbread wiped my sd card.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
I'm not so sure about that cause I used the .2 version for GB as well and it worked just fine on mine. Didn't wipe internal storage, and I used a spare SD card during the S-OFF process like the instructions mentioned.
[HTC Rezound] crispybacon:
This is the wire I used, got it on the 2nd try, first time either I didn't time it right or have a proper connection. Left over coax cable from comcast...

[HTC Rezound] DaFunkyMex:
Worked on 2nd try! Total time elapsed, 4 minutes. Used speaker wire. Came from ICS leak and Rezrom 3.4.
[HTC Rezound] vprasad1:
Calling it a night and giving up on S-OFF for now. But... I need my phone functional again.

Stuck at either Fastboot, JuopunutBear screen, or Amon Ra screen-- cannot boot at all to OS. Attempted to have fastboot boot up the rezound_ics_androidpolice_3.11.605.22 .zip which I had renamed to PH98IMG.zip, but all that happens is the PH98IMG.zip file is examined (blue bar on right side goes to the top) and then it puts me back at the menu for choosing either Fastboot or recovery. No option to re-install it.

Any pointers or threads I can go to? I saw someone else have the same issue earlier on, but his resolution was re-instaling Amon Ra. I tried the same and while I can boot Amon Ra, I cannot boot to a ROM.

It's very late and my brain is fried so any help would be appreciated.

edit: think I got it-- the PH98IMG.zip / leak seems to be installing from recovery :-). Knock on wood!

edit: nope. fastboot says mainver is older. reboot goes back to the bear.

edit: installed scott's cleanrom. logo on the screen. hoping its booting. phew! functional phone again!
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
Am I the only one who has a flawless s-off experience?
[HTC Rezound] werdna87:
Mine was good except for the fact it messed up my sd but It's fixed now so all is well :D
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
No. I needed two tries, had to exit and restart Controlbear a few times, had to flash Juopunut's 0.2 ICS firmware manually, then had to reflash recovery and boot image, but doing so wasn't different from any other time I changed firmwares, and easily within an hour I was fully operational with a new splash screen.

I think we've the problem is that there are so many variations (locked/unlocked; which firmware; ICS/GB) and that the wire trick adds another level of complexity. It will probably be easier once a more comprehensive set of guides is ut there.

Dumped down the innertubes from my Arnova 10 G2
[HTC Rezound] graymonkey44:
You have the wrong hboot downloaded. Try the eng hboot in con's thread and you should be good.
[HTC Rezound] -4ndr01d-:
Have put in 5 hours so far to get S-Off

Windows 7 x64

ADB located at C:\Android

Downloaded the proper controlbear (v.02 for GB firmware for Windows)

Unzipped all 3 files into C:\Android

Using an old 16gb sdcard that was freshly formatted by windows to perform this s-off

Old firmware, unlocked bootloader

ReZound is booted and running normally (Ineffabilis)

Charge only is enabled

USB Debugging is enabled

Right click controlbear, run as admin

Program runs

Phone reboots one time,

That's it for me, game over. I sit and wait and wait (15 minutes. Nothing happens. The phone will never boot into fastboot. After doing a battery pull and manually going into fastboot, I re-run controlbear as admin.

From what I have searched, I have seen a couple other users with this issue. And I am also gathering this is the "not getting prompted to perform the wire trick error" I am then stuck on the JuoponutBear screen.

I was able to re-flash a recovery and get my Ineffabilis ROM back up and running. Tried this 2 more times, same exact problem.

I am back up and running, unlocked and S-ON for now. 5 hours is too much time. I need some sleep. Is anyone found a fix where they can be prompted for the 'wire trick' if this is what they mean and get what I'm getting?
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
Well, it killed my SD too. :)
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
I would make a video, but I don't want to have to relock, and do all the crap to get it unlocked again. And I also don't have a camera. My rezound is my camera. :)

I guess I could just make a text guide.....

Edit:

Actually, graymonkey added a lot to the OP in this thread and it addresses many issues. I think he has it down. :)
[HTC Rezound] Argent36:
Took me two tries with a paper clip wrapped in electrical tape to get the timing right - but my experience was pretty painless otherwise.

I had a spare microSD card to use so I didn't lose anything either :)

FYI - I'm running new firmware with ICS and unlocked
[HTC Rezound] ih8mydroid:
Took an hour to do due to timing, but I had no problems at all. Altho I did not attempt to try and go back to a backup or anything, I just loaded a GB Ruu and called it a night. Reinstalled the leaked ICS Ruu and am back on Sense 4. Zero problems.
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
I also had a 2gb card I could have used, but I thought when everyone said that it "will wipe your SD card" they meant the internal one. People use them interchangeably so I got confused.
[HTC Rezound] -4ndr01d-:
When yall say, killed SD what do yall mean?

I used a spare SD card, and now it is unrecognized by windows and wants to format it. I reformat it, but it only has 128kb of free space.

was this yall's issue? what fixed that if so?
[HTC Rezound] sdsmithinc:
I'm also getting the 66732337 error, any solution?
[HTC Rezound] imparables:
Not sure if you got your answer yet but....though I'm assuming you're on GB firmware being you used the patch. So here is what I did.

I was on GB firmware, CleanRom Standard 4.3 ICS rom with the old firmware parch flashed. I downloaded the Bear program V.02 for GB (windows) went through the process, did the wire trick, and accepted their hboot. Everything went smooth.....though I had to reflash the old firmware patch again after I rebooted, which was no biggie. Running smooth so far. Hope this helps.
[HTC Rezound] mrbigdrawsz:
Yippee!!!! I feel so free! I am now S-Off...not all I have to do is wait on the RIL and Cyanogen and the world will be all great. LOL

Appreciate the work on this guys, too bad we have to go through all of this just to free ourselves...I thought I was free once I jumped ship from the iPhone.

---------- Post added at 09:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:02 AM ----------

Okay, maybe I spoke too soon.

I went through the process, got S-Off and it asked if I wanted to install the JuopuntBear hboot. I said yes (I'm using 2.0) and it installed it...it booted back into the bootloader and just sat. I told it to reboot and now I'm stuck on the JuopuntBear splash screen...

HELP?!?! What should I do at this point? If I need to install the previous hboot (I'm on ICS) how do I go about doing that?
[HTC Rezound] JWhetstone02:
if you have s-off, you can reflash a recovery from fastboot

from there just reinstall a fresh ROM with the kernel

thats what i did when i was stuck on the juoponutbear screen
[HTC Rezound] cam1pbell:
I have s-off but I didn't install jb h-boot.

My phone says unlocked tampered. I read that if you install jb h-boot the tampered goes away. My question is how do I install h-boot without a PC. Do I just rename the zip and flash or what. Thanks
[HTC Rezound] luke1333:
you need to install your boot.img from the rom you were on

[HTC Rezound] Hag77:
No, as a matter of fact I'm a little confused as to how flawless my experience seemed to be. Only thing I had to do manually was install their hboot.. Did not have to reflash amon or sense4 kernel, and from what I can tell, I did not lose anything from my internal or external sd!??
[HTC Rezound] Khayos:
That means your timing is not quite right with the wire, keep trying, you're so close
[HTC Rezound] mrbigdrawsz:
Got another question...

I've got full s-off now and installed the JuopuntuBear hboot. Wanted to reflash my ROM just for a fresh install but when I boot into the bootloader it won't allow me to flash anything. I go into fastboot it searches for the PH file and when it doesn't find anything it goes back to the options screen. When I try to go into recovery it reboots and takes me back to fastboot/bootloader.

Do I need to reinstall Amon Ra or am I missing something about flashing ROM's now?
[HTC Rezound] JWhetstone02:
Yea, use fastboot to flash a recovery and you are good to go.

Or go into fastboot and launch the Onclick Unlock tool, if you used that to unlock your phone and push a recovery from there
[HTC Rezound] mrbigdrawsz:
Okay, I'm sorry...I'm not understanding though. When I go into fastboot how to I get the option to search my sd card for the right zip to flash? I don't get that option.

It simply looks for the PH file to flash, when nothing is there it gives me option to go into recovery. When I do that it just flashes the HTC screen then goes right back into fastboot...no option to search SD card. I'm going to reinstall Amon Ra I THINK that's the issue, but just thought that maybe there was a different way to flash now that we have S-OFF.
[HTC Rezound] JWhetstone02:
download this

from the OP and push that through ADB, or use download the PH file onto your ZIP from here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19205213&postcount=1

Did you check your system tray to make sure that HTC Sync is not running?
[HTC Rezound] sindroidx:
I received this at first too, what I did was re-downloaded the tool and also tried with a different SD card. Went past that part for me after I tried those.

One thing you may try. Stop the program, reboot the phone to bootloader. Plug in the phone, run the program as admin. It will reboot the phone, then it will try to either continue where it left off or start over. Make sure your ADB drivers are up to date as well.

There is instructions in the OP on how to resolve the ext SD card issue. Basically download terminal and busybox on the phone and run the commands posted in the OP.

I had trouble doing this at first, be sure to grant yourself SU access in the terminal before running the commands.
[HTC Rezound] cam1pbell:
I understand that some of you are having problems and are starting to panic. All the answers are in this thread so take a step back and read. It took me probably 20 times to do the wire trick. Good Luck.
