[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] bigfilsing:
Hi.

The best advice i can gine is to go to the Pdaitejam rom thread and watch the video posted in the first post. Works a treat.

only other things i would recommend are. ( certainly in your case)

Flash a stock WM6.5 rom first to make sure all hard ware ( BT WiFi etc) is working OK. Loads of people have got into problems when "throwing" on a WP rom then having issues and not knowing if its hard or software causing them.

Also make sure your SD cards are squeaky clean and formatted.

There are plenty of posts on the order in which to do things . Use the search Luke

Good luck

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] badaphooko01:
I manage a tire shop and we have one of those apple type dock stereos that plays cds and AM/FM. We all have smart phones and take turns streaming pandora or slacker. Of course when four of my employees that have iphones stream thiers is pretty loud. My two other guys have evos and they very weak. When I stream it's loud but not as loud as the iphones or the AM/FM stereo for that matter. When I had my Vibrant with Voodoo sound it was louder than anything, so loud that they would all ask me how do you do that?

Do you guys know of any apps that would make my output through my 3.5mm jack get any louder? DSP manger does not seem to work, neither did have beats or xloud. Please advise....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] SupaKid:
Volume+, perhaps?

Try that one!

Hi all,

Have a slight issue with my phone, I ran the small update IMM76I and now I get a small red triangle on the bootloader wether I'm plugged in via USB or on it's own, therefore....

Can somebody point me in the right direction (struggling to find the correct post in the search) to completely reset my phone, re lock the boot loader, re lock the root and re flash back to stock.

I will then start again...

This time I think I will try doing it myself (what's the best thread if you don't mind for teaching somebody how to unlock....but manually and explaining what is going on), I used a tool kit last time (this was a mistake for me I think), trouble is, I just don't know what it has done, I have learn't anything so no idea what has happened to my phone, I can't fix something on my phone, a simple instruction to "just do this" is meaningless to me - if that makes sense.

I don't even know what/how my phone is unlocked, thats the trouble.

Apologies for the "noob" queries. Hope you can help.

Regards

Darren
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
If you look at post#4 of the gsm ToolKit thread then it gives manually instructions on exactly what the unlock/root process involves. Rooting only involves pushing 2 files to the phone and setting their permissions.

Are you talking about the fastboot mode with a red triangle on it? Can you take a picture and post it?

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pittnuma:
Are you talking about the fastboot mode with a red triangle on it?

Power and volume down button, choose recovery mode, gives me an immediate red triangle whether plugged in via adb usb or not. drivers installed ok on pc fine if that helps.

Will load normally so not bricked, just don't understand where i amat or really what I am doing.

Will see if can get a picture if that helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
I dont need a picture lol thats the Stock Recovery screen and its supposed to have a red triangle with an exclamation mark inside it. Theres nothing wrong with it.

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pittnuma:
Ahh thanks, stock...

So if I Understand correct then really i only need to get the clockwork recovery and re root it then? That sound about correct?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
Sounds right. If you want to flash cwm in fastboot its just 'fastboot flash recovery recovery-file-name'

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pittnuma:
Thanks Mark, I shall give that a whirl this evening.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pittnuma:
Done and thanks Mark
[HTC Rezound] Sleek69:
Hmm, where to find a wire in all my crap...
[HTC Rezound] TB13:
Holy S**t...
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
that's crazy. what the hell does the wire trick actually do, in specific terms? like, what are we jumping here?
[HTC Rezound] con247:
It triggers service mode I think.
[HTC Rezound] apophis9283:
any one know why the sd card is not mounting, i already formatted it
[HTC Rezound] graymonkey44:
You're gonna have to use an ICS patch probably, that andybones gave me I think. Are you on the new/old firmware and which ROM are you running? Does it mount in recovery?
[HTC Rezound] graymonkey44:
I think it bricks the device temporarily?
[HTC Rezound] smokestacknj:
@#$%#!!! Gonna try later
[HTC Rezound] apophis9283:
on the leaked ruu, running gb? re-apply the patch?
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
damn, it's so crazy how these guys come up with these methods on how to get this working! some smart people here :D
[HTC Rezound] lllboredlll:
looks as if they are grounding out the jtag ports
[HTC Rezound] graymonkey44:
I have no idea honestly... I'm running ICS... Try the patch though I'd say.
[HTC Rezound] graymonkey44:
Yep, pretty clever guys. They do some reverse engineering type stuff. Hats off to them.
[HTC Rezound] apophis9283:
Reflashing patch worked
[HTC Rezound] TB13:
Worked like a charm.
[HTC Rezound] graymonkey44:
Good to hear. :)
[HTC Rezound] graymonkey44:
You're gonna have to change your sig then! ;)

Ninja Edit: Dammit I keep double posting... Sorry guys... I thought it automatically edited into the prior post. Guess not...
[HTC Rezound] TB13:
Your right...
[HTC Rezound] smokestacknj:
for anyone whos done it what kind of wire have u used?
[HTC Rezound] OLDsJUNKIE:
You can't get back into fastboot and reflash Amon RA? Pull the battery and try booting back into the bootloader.
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
You will need to reinstall the recovery and ROM.

You may need a working SDcard to do it. So swap cards or reformat the one you have on your PC.
[HTC Rezound] worlocke:
Nope ive tried everything i can get into the bootloader but when i try to load recovery via flasboot flash recovery recovery.img it says cannot load img
[HTC Rezound] fix-this!:
close the window, unplug your phone and pull the battery. restart the phone and restart the program, you may have to do it twice. i had to do this about 4x before i got it, plus it took 30 minutes of trying to short out my phone.
[HTC Rezound] ijustwantmydock:
this is the last time im gonna ask can anyone help me with ubuntu
[HTC Rezound] fix-this!:
i do have a question though. if for some reason we have to s-on for work or whatever, do we have to unlock once again, then run this method? also isn't anyone concerned if you do this more than once you may short out your phone?

---------- Post added at 10:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:54 PM ----------

sorry man i run windows and osx. :(
[HTC Rezound] maqsur:
I've been trying in Windows and Linux, and I have been able to get the double ground press, and then it gets stuck on "Waiting device."

The device has no charging light, and Qualcomm USB device is active. But nothing happening.
[HTC Rezound] OLDsJUNKIE:
Just trying to eliminate all possibilities. Are you sure you are changing to the proper directory that contains fastboot.exe and your recovery image?
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
Sorry, I didn't use the ubuntu version, and do not know how this exploit control app works differently for the linux version. (if it works differently)

Never set up ADB on linux either.

I am sure it is pretty straight forward like the instructions show after you get the ADB working for linux.

I am sure their are how to's online for that somewhere.
[HTC Rezound] bravac:
what driver did u use? do u have 32 or 64 bit? i'm using 64 bit..
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
Maybe you are not timing it correctly. I have a post on page 15 that may help if that is so.
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
What do you need help with? I'm running Linux Mint which is pretty much Ubuntu.
[HTC Rezound] OLDsJUNKIE:
You should be able to run the exploit as many times as you need. If it doesn't short out on the first time, the second wouldn't be any different.
[HTC Rezound] ijustwantmydock:
like how do you get controlbear to run because it doesnt say and when i right click on the file it doesnt let me run it with snything
[HTC Rezound] fix-this!:
thanks i was just worried, never did an s-off method involving shorting anything out.
[HTC Rezound] RustyNailz:
FWIW, I was able to run the command directly on the phone using the Connectbot app.
[HTC Rezound] fix-this!:
i extracted all the contents to my android sdk/tools folder then ran from cmd, im sure it would be the same on linux.
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
You would, but S=on is not necessary... just don't run a rooted ROM if required for work.

multiple times may be an issue, no one has tried though I bet.

Read up on fastboot and ADB commands and how to use it. That is where most get it wrong. That should help you figure it out.

---------- Post added at 09:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 PM ----------

WINE may be needed to run the control app if it is not a linux executable type file.
[HTC Rezound] worlocke:
I know the commands ive done alot with android but it says device not found when i run adb idk?
[HTC Rezound] willsully1221:
How do u flash recovery after you're s off? I keep trying to do it but command prompt keeps telling me that it failed
[HTC Rezound] big_mike_2k6:
No I never install HTC sync and I'm on the Rom that the phone was shipped with just rooted. It really has me confused.
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
Did you make sure adb wasn't active along with other usb debugging related apps like pdanet?
[HTC Rezound] big_mike_2k6:
Yeah nothing else was active. I'm doing it the same way I did it the first time to no avail. I seen in a thread here that a user had the same issue and ran an older version of JB and it worked out for him. So I ran that same version and it says sorry you have to have root even though I am rooted. So I'm thinking maybe it has something to do with my root?
[HTC Rezound] jeph0r3:
So if i'm running Linaro and want to S-Off, is it impossible for me to do it running this rom? I'm having no luck... I've tried this several times in the past and have had no luck...
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
You need to be on a Sense ROM to s-off...preferably rooted stock.
[HTC Rezound] jeph0r3:
Thanks Shrike!! Will see if i can find one! Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] power950:
s-off maybe

it went through most of the installer and then went to reboot my phone but i had it upside down and it got caught on the recovery and control bear said fault quit so i pressed enter to quit and i checked and everything seems fine and my phone says s-off is it off or did something go wrong?
[HTC Rezound] plastikjess:
Finally good to go

I believe its been a couple of weeks since I first unlocked my phone and it has been problem after problem trying to install a proper ROM while still s-on. Today is my first day of spring break and it took me less than 3 hours to go back to the latest RUU and then to s-off. The only reason it took that long is because I had my 2 year old constantly trying to ninja me and shut my laptop off.

I guess my advice to offer to those who feel like they will be stuck in a loop forever is slow down and document what you do. I had to start over a couple of times during the process mainly because I would skim over an important detail that would freeze me up. Things I looked over included restarting my computer after installing the HTC drivers offered by juopunutbear, placing my ADB folder on my C:\ drive rather than in a sub-folder of my C drive, and forgetting to uncheck fast boot under the power settings.

I am not one for following directions; distraction is my companion. However from my recent experience, don't expect to get this process right the first time if you choose to skim through the instructions. Keep a record of what you did, compare it to what is at unlimited.io and/or here on the forums, and if you still find that you are hitting a wall, then ask for help. These developers are busy bringing us great improvements all the time; it would not be fair to keep them away from what they do best because we choose to make our own shortcuts and get stuck. Not that they are kind and will help no matter what anyways. ;)

I apologize for ranting, I only did so because I am guilty of what I preached and wanted to share my experience hoping that this helps someone out there get past that brick wall...no pun intended.

Thank you everyone involved in here for your dedication making s-off possible for all of us Rezounders. :)

New OTA (March 2013) and S-Off Bootloader

I wanted to ask if its safe for me (with s-off) to RUU to stock,

to process the OTA patch and restore everything,

(custom rom, AmonRa recovery, etc), again.

I was concerned if the patch updates the bootloader

that the s-off process places and would be a problem

to run fastboot commands after it?

Has anyone figured out what its trying to change?
[HTC Rezound] Tomhrbn:
Not sure what to do now

Well I have been running clockwork mod for a while. I decided to finally flash CyanogenMod. So I put it on the root of my sd card and I Forgot that I had changed back to S on a couple weeks ago. So after installing the rom I can only boot into Recovery and my phone cannot advance past the white htc screen. I ask: How do I make my phone s off in its state

?
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Looking for Control Bear for Windows

Have done the S-OFF thing to two Rezounds now, went to the Juopunut site and see that they've removed the Windows utilities. I don't have an Ubuntu box handy.

Anyone have the Windows Controlbear files for S-OFF?

Thanks in advance.

NVM. Found it in this post.
[HTC Rezound] drynyks:
I wonder why they would remove the Windows version? Maybe to cut down on the number of tards!? Only thing I can think of.

- "Is it dark in there?"
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
I suspect you're right; I thought I saw somewhere that they just didn't feel they could support the 64bit Win7 or Win8 in any form. It's their party. Just glad I was able to find the Windows files here or I would have been SOL. Took two run-throughs this time (that's the longest it's ever taken me), but got the job done.
[HTC Rezound] joeymagnus1:
I had uploaded it for Spooony two or three days ago. I think in the Infection thread. And on their website they said something about people crying about windows support.

Actually, this is exactly what they said.

Update regarding Windows versions of our tools:

Team Unlimited has decided to drop all support for the Windows OS. This is due to massive amounts of trolling on forums and in our support channel as well as flaming us for our decision to not support Windows 8 or any version of Windows 64bit.

We attempted to explain to anyone who had questions why this was not supported - drivers are unreliable, percentage of risk for bricking was too high, and just general complications - but we were greeted with people who demanded support and others that came into our support # to tell us that "clearly we didn't test 64bit because it works" and "wanted to let us know that we could support 64bit."
[HTC Rezound] hbeardave:
S-off without working ROM?

I totally screwed things up...

I ended up with HBoot 2.28 (for which there apparently isn't a working RUU?),

...and no working ROM.

I only have HBOOT and Amon Ra recovery with S-on.

I can get to things with fastboot and adb, but all attempts to flash give me "HBoot version older" issues.

Instructions here seem to say I've got to have a bootable phone to s-off.

Any other way to get back going?
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
There is a working, rooted version of the OTA here.

I was *completely* stock, then unlocked the bootloader via htc.dev, then flashed Amon Ra 3.16, then rooted via recovery. After that I got a different sdcard and ran the S-OFF without an issue. When I subsequently had an issue getting back to recovery, I tried to reflash it and got the mainver error. Before I had to re-locate the "fix mainver" thread here on xda, I was able to get back into it and the issue never recurred. Eventually, I am going to have to fix that error if I ever deviate from stock again.

If that isn't working for you, run an earlier RUU on the unit and start over.
[HTC Rezound] big_mike_2k6:
Which ruu should I use before I s-off?
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Use the last "official" OTA RUU, the one before the global "leak" version from last summer. I think it's the official ICS release from July of 2012.

My name's Harold and I'm a flashaholic.....
[HTC Rezound] fuzzynco:
Sorry to ask again (S-off on new .14 OTA firmware)?

I was having issues with the .13 firmware and VZW replaced the device in warranty.

I've s-off-d a number of the Rezounds on .12 and .13 (ending up with the

JB .25 hboot).,

I see .14 replaced the .27 hboot with a .28 wondered if JB patched .27 hboot

would run the 14 stock rom and its radios okay?

How interdependent is the bootloader / radio / rom mix? Is there a patched

.28 bootloader? Do I need one for s-off? Will Controlbear 0.5 for windows

do its thing on the new firmware? :confused:

I do have the 3.14.605.12 RUU ZIP and PH98IMG_hboot_2.27_unlocked.zip

(hboot_8x60-lte_2.27.0000_120803_MR2_UNLOCKED_by_vf89.nb0

patched hboot image) files.
[HTC Rezound] manbat:
I have had no issues running the patched 27 hboot (on my s-off Rezound) in place of the 28 hboot.
[HTC Rezound] fuzzynco:
Went with that.

I flashed AmonRa .16 and then reran controlbear and did the wire trick

and it worked as expected. I then flashed the zip for the .27 patched

hboot from JB hboot an everything seems to be fine.

I guess I was really off on the timing with TWRP or TRWP doesn't

like controlbear. It works fine with AR .16 though.
[HTC Rezound] Ojive:
Uhm....

Has there been any posts on paperclip method bricking your phone?

Mine rebooted, then shut down. Now there is not even a charging led, and the phone is bricked.

I'm just curious ^^
[HTC Rezound] civicsr2cool:
I just want to double check my approach on this with yal..I tend to get confused when dealing with hboots.

I picked up the rezound with ICS OTA on it, htc dev unlocked, flashed amon ra 3.13, flashed cm10.1 and the boot.img through adb to root it.

I am s-on with unlocked and tampered hboot 2.28.0000.

I know I need to be on a stock ICS that is rooted to obtain s-off. I have chosen this one and hope it will work - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2260154

My only real question is if these are the prerequisites I need to s-off, what happens after I s-off, do I need to update radios or hboot for anything?? Almost 4 years rooting htc phones and this hboot still confuses me!

thanks for any help.
[HTC Rezound] iamwalterwhite:
I s-offe'd so long ago that you should take this with a grain of salt (and continue your own research). As to your questions: you seem to be well situated to go s-off. I ran controlbear from viperrez with no issues. Being rooted with a custom recovery meets your prerequisites. After you s-off, you will be able to flash custom kernels without adb commands (otherwise much doesn't change). Your hboot and radios should be the most recent. I believe the hboot number you have is for the global OTA, so you should also have the updated radios.

FWIW, I'd say just stay s-on. There aren't a whole lot of tangible benefits to being s-off, and if you know ADB then you are fine. Also, Snuzzo has a thread for lunar tools. It will allow you to flash ROMs while s-on without having to be in front of a pc. Also, I'd recommend upgrading your recovery. AR is up to version 3.16, and TWRP seems to be the new standard recovery for the Rez.
[HTC Rezound] ahoslc:
Guys Question I am S-Off and have Old AR recovery. I am running Team Venom old 1.0.3 Rom. I am looking to upgrade to Liquid Smooth 2.9? Can I just go right into AR and wipe/flash the new LS 2.9? Or do I need to update my recovery or radios or Hboot? What's the best method of going about this?
[HTC Rezound] xXezmacXx:
I just got a refurbished Rezound in the mail and it's been a long time since I tried to S-OFF again(sounds dirty lol). Anyways, I'm on the latest OTA I believe, 4.0.3/3.6 & 4.05.605.14 710RD? I did the wire trick with ControlBear last time I got S-OFF. I just went onto there website and they no longer provide ControlBear for Windows. I did a search on the forums and found this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27764982&postcount=2079. Will this ControlBear 0.1 work for me? Or do I have to get back on to an earlier RUU for this to work? I also checked my hboot, it says 2.28.
[HTC Rezound] Uzephi:
You can't roll back RUU unless S-off. And from what I read, the 2.28 hboot needs the Linux Cbear
[HTC Rezound] fuzzynco:
JuopunutBear 0.4

Will this one work for you?
[HTC Rezound] kc6wke:
JuopunutBear 2.2

here is ver 2.2, but like Uzephi said, windows may not support 2.28 hboot site says only Ubuntu is supported

But you can try:fingers-crossed:

[HTC Rezound] Jensen567:
I realize this is an old thread but what are the options for me if I am unable to get my device to boot (outside of HBOOT and Recovery)? ControlBear wants me to start from within my ROM and I cannot do that. Read my thread here as to why.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2559880

It was suggested I go S-OFF so I can flash an RUU (currently at the latest OTA, so nothing available online will flash without S-OFF). I also feel this would fix my device, but I am having issues finding a way to actually get S-Off without access to a ROM.
