Weird, I restored my backup and I lost root after the wire trick failed, and I'm not sure how to get ROOT back. Any ideas?
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
Why would you need root. You have s-off.
[HTC Rezound] Nic2112:
I don't have S-OFF yet, the wire trick failed so I restored my nandroid backup and now the bear tool doesn't work because my ROM isn't rooted.

---------- Post added at 12:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:56 AM ----------

Edit : I got it to work. I accidentally re-installed amon_ra 3.13 which I had issues with in the past. I flashed 3.15, installed RezRom 3.4, ran the program again and now it seems to work. Just got to do the wire thing right now :)
[HTC Rezound] jomama123:
idk why but it never prompted me to do the "wire trick" so I'm stuck

help yes??
[HTC Rezound] nujackk:
Ok going give it a try , just have a question about which version I should use. I am running old version of nils business ics, never did ruu or the patch, so should use the gingerbread or ICS version
[HTC Rezound] johnwaynegacy:
I was never able to even get to the wire trick on gb, I was also on gb hboot. I ruued to stock ics leak and can at least get that far. I cant get past the wire trick.
[HTC Rezound] Nic2112:
I got it to work on the 5th attempt at the wire trick. Now all I need help with is where to find the HBOOT for my ICS Rom.

Edit : Never mind, it's already there :)
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
far as I know should use the GB version since your on GB hboot and firmware.
[HTC Rezound] firsttimer44:
I finally got s-off to work and finally got my SD card working again, but for some reason I have no signal. 4g does not work nor does WIFI, all I am getting is 1 bar of 3g (basically no data at all). I have searched this whole thread and have not seen anything. Please help??

On ICS, rez rom, HBOOT 2.21

Edit: I am now getting wifi and a strong 3g signal, but 4g is still gone.

Edit: 4g mysteriously came back..all good now.
[HTC Rezound] sindroidx:
Sorry if this was mentioned before but I got s-off now I cannot get the computer to recognize my phone being plugged in. Any ideas?

Ok trying the gb version, but phone reboots to juopunutBear and just sits program just says waiting device for over 10 mins now. How long should it take ?

I have read through all of the pages, and I didn't see it posted. Has anyone found a fix for "no beers tonight"?

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Rezound] NAU420:
I'm going to have a beer if I get this done soon!!!! Sick of no beer for you S-off failed.......
[HTC Rezound] 760hacker:
I need the same fix! Maybe i have drank too many beers trying to do this ..i get this same damn error every time i try to run ControlBear to get the wire trick prompt again
[HTC Rezound] :
I have been trying this for about a day now. Not working. Get to the part where it says wire trick. I have tried insulated copper wire and 3 paper clips. I always get "still sober". Am I using right the wire? We hit it twice for 1.75 seconds?
[HTC Rezound] red3razor:
Same situation here. Using paperclip.
[HTC Rezound] 760hacker:
What to do when I get "no Beer for Bear tonight" press enter to exit. ?
[HTC Rezound] :
Not sure. I am not getting that. Maybe format the sdcard with a pc and try again.
[HTC Rezound] uToTMeH8:
Keep at it...I used a paperclip too and it took about 10 tries. Make sure you watch the youtube video a bunch of times and try to time the taps on the GND exactly as he does in the video.
[HTC Rezound] johnwaynegacy:
loloolololol this time when I ran the program it just simply said "quit""press enter to exit"
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
New Version

Has anyone tried the new version and can they confirm that the internal SD was not erased? Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] uToTMeH8:
No! Press enter then right click on controlbear, run as administrator and try again
[HTC Rezound] wmaudio:
Ok so I knew somehow this would screw up. :(

Here's what I did:

1. Downloaded the ControlBear app for ICS/Windows. I am running CleanRom4.3 with ICS Hboot, AmonRa 3.14 Recovery.

2. Powered phone off, swapped SD cards, booted phone into ROM.

3. Ran the ControlBear app and all went as it should, up until the wire trick, and I wasn't able to get the timing down so the S-OFF failed. At this point, the phone would not go past either HBoot or the ControlBear download black screen.

4. To be able to boot, I re-flashed AmonRa 3.14 and boot image from CleanROM, phone now boots into ROM without issue, but all external and internal data are gone - ControlBear factory reset my phone.

Where I'm at now is, the phone can boot into ROM, the computer sees the phone, I can even reboot into recovery using a CMD window and adb without an issue, but ControBear simply says, "No beer for bear tonight" and closes. I have no idea what to do now. HBoot says "Tampered", "Unlocked," "S-ON". Can anyone help please? Thanks in advance.

By the way, I am rooted. I can get into AmonRa without an issue, and I can run Titanium Backup without an issue. USB Debugging is on. Fastboot is turned off in settings. I am re-flashing the ROM now to see if that resolves, will update with more info but if someone has an answer, that'd be great.
[HTC Rezound] madmaverickmatt:
Try Amon RA

Hey Guys I could not get the wire trick to take just keept saying still sober, then I flashed to amon ra from cwm and it worked first time, all those that think its just ur timing try that
[HTC Rezound] :
I am not getting the green arrow screen at any point in the process. And it boots straight into my rom instead of hboot. I have literally tried about 60 times
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
Wait until it tells you do to the trick then timing is key.
[HTC Rezound] 760hacker:
Having the same problem, i downloaded the entire file again for win. removed my old files and noticed that it has now been updated to .02 like in the last 20 mins. Now the script begins by attempting to back sh and fails, then i have to enter to exit controlbear.

people that cant get this to work, what is your hardware revision. Mine is xa and I Have been trying and failing at this for 12 hours. I even too the back of my phone off to make sure I am making good contact with my wire. It never works.
[HTC Rezound] andrix10:
the paper clip is already covered in plastic, so i don't think i need to cover it with electric tape right?

That's as far as I can get. I already re-flashed AmonRa 3.1.4, reflashed my boot image from CleanROM Pro 4.3, even reflashed CleanROM 4.3 itself and deleted all user data / factory reset - no good. I'm stuck. Any thoughts?

Edit - oh, I also reformatted my substitute SD card in both Windows and on the phone itself, and neither helped.

[HTC Rezound] mxair2001:
I was stuck on that for a long time last night/this morning..

What I ended up doing was a factory reset from within recovery, also moved to a different computer. Not sure if it was one or the other, or both, but I finally got it to work again and I successfully did the wire trick on my 2nd try.

same here man. i feel hella lame cause im so anti s-off and i'm finally doing it and its not backing up and failing. lol.

i'm anti s-off cause i just dont see the point with htc dev unlock. i dont mind the extra step to install kernels...and my radio is just fine..i'll also never revert back to GB RUU...and relocking and running ICS RUU works when sending back to verizon..
[HTC Rezound] siulmagic:
posting here as my last resort, maybe one of know something i dont.

IV successfully s-off my rezound, no errors nothing, i got on my first try, now after i rebooted my phone it got stuck on the withe htc screen, then i said ok im guessing after flashing the hboot, like always all parttion's get formatted, so i proceeded to reflash my recovery and my lernel. and to my suprise my device is still stuck in the white htc logo screen, and im sure its nto supposed to do that, iv flahsed my boot.img countless of times, and i know for a fact that when i run "fastboot reboot" its supposed to got o a black screen then show the white htc logo, so far and so forth, but in my case it will just reboot to the white htc logo screen and stay there. yes i have formatted my boot partition and my recovery partition, and reflashed them both, but still getting stuck in the white htc screen, i also when ahead and reunlocked my device, still nothing, getting stuck in the white htc logo screen.

i dont know why this is happening to me of all people but yea. if i get no answer here, il ruu my phone and try again, nothing else i can do.
[HTC Rezound] wmaudio:
Yes I did.
[HTC Rezound] maxearing:
im stuck at the wire trick part. CMD keeps saying to do it but it isnt working. any tips
[HTC Rezound] azturbomini:
Then your timing is off. When you time it right it will proceed.
[HTC Rezound] wmaudio:
I'm giving up. I appreciate the effort, but it's just not going to work for me, and I'm cutting my losses.
[HTC Rezound] ih8mydroid:
Its all in the timing. Make sure you have a solid connection to the Pin1 and then double tap the GRND just like you would if you were playing battlefield 3 and you want to shoot somebody...doing it once does not confirm a kill...always double tap. It took me close to an hour to finally get it to take and get S-off.

keep at it and youll get it!
[HTC Rezound] maxearing:
thanks. i did it but when how do i know im s off. control bear didnt say it or not.
[HTC Rezound] andrewp3481:
just booted into linux....its working

I've tried many different things that were suggested and things that I read other people tried. I'm unlocked, rooted, have amon ra recovery and running stock. I have restarted computer, reinstalled JuopunutBear and htc drivers. Made sure I unzipped JuopunutBear where adb/fastboot is located. Kind of at a loss at what to try next. Any suggestions.

Also wanted to thank everyone helping solve these issues. Many of whom have been doing it for hours and hours. :D
[HTC Rezound] tbogs:
I ran into this problem as well. Here is what I did to get the program to work again:

1. Reformat SD Card.

2. reinstall recovery - Amon Ra using adb.

3. Wipe in recovery (like you would when installing a Rom)

4. Flash your current Rom that is on your phone. Make sure you also flash the boot image.

5. Once your phone is back up and running, retry the process for S-off. If you fail, redo the above steps.

Note: This worked for me. Hopefully this will help.

[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
If you can get to hboot... reflash your recovery again and then try booting into recovery. Then reflash your entire ROM from scratch.

For those with problems...

Some have suggested CWM recovery does not like this exploit and preventing it from working. They switched to Amon RA and it worked...

Switch to Amon RA recovery before starting this exploit guys.

I am on Amon RA and had zero issues.

Also if you keep having issues... you may need to start fresh... Boot into recovery (you may need to reflash your recovery if it will not boot into it) wipe everything (factory reset/wipe system/data and both cache) then reinstall your ROM from scratch. (including the kernel/boot.img) Reboot phone, ensure settings in the developer menu are correct (usb debugging) and start the exploit again.
[HTC Rezound] drkow19:
No beer for bear tonight!

If you run the program as an admin, and immediately see "No beer for bear tonight" you need to go to recovery, wipe all, and reinstall a ROM, this worked for me. Then I got S-Off first try.
[HTC Rezound] siulmagic:
as i said on my post, yes i did re flash my recovery, iv always been on amonra recovery, and yes i can get to bootloader just fine, the phone will just not boot, ether to recovery or to android.
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
Try reflashing recovery again... it boils down to getting a good recovery then booting into it.

If you can get to hboot you can fix it.

You are S=Off right? You should be able to flash anything with s=off and proper commands. It could be issues with ADB not flashing the recovery for some reason.
[HTC Rezound] siulmagic:
yes iv flashed the recovery like 5 times already. yes i am s-off, going to try make another copy of adb and flash it form there.

edit: something is wrong here, im noticing the device does not reboot after i hit recovery on fastboot, it just shows the htc white screen. something is not right here
[HTC Rezound] numbroino21:
I'm having the same issue.

I've rebooted my phone and pc, formatted/tried three sd cards. I have the three files in my fastboot folder. I have flashed my Rom(rezrom 3.4) and recovery.

Try disabling anti virus if you have one. If you have Htc sync disable that as well. Reboot and retry. Also check the MD5 of your download and make sure it matches with whatever firmware your on.

I finally got mine to work.

Quick notes:

Had antivirus disbaled

Htc sync uninstalled

The three s-off files I put into the same directory as fastboot (platform tools in the sdk)

And before the last time I tried which worked I formatted sdcard from computer then reinstalled amon ra recovery thru cmd promt. My sdcard was messed up and I had lost amon ra recovery from the many many hours of trying to get this to work. Hope this helps.

This was a long and arduous task. I need some alcohol now!

Ok I have sim card error and when I try to use recovery to newt or cleanrom ICS roms, I get Ooops something went wrong please check the recovery log.

1st what's up with the sim card error? I need my phone back soon.

Keep Trying, don't give up. flash AmonRA

I tried for hours and was having the same issues as you all were having. I never was getting to the screen with green arrow. I gave up for about an hour :rolleyes:. Then I downloaded amonra http://www.mediafire.com/?l9dgzvvsdku7g3c and pushed it to my phone. Then started the tool all over again and the first thing I seen was the green arrow screen.

As far as timing, I don't know how mine worked. It started scrolling do wire hack now and I tried that and it continued to scroll the same info. I waited probably 30 seconds and thought what the hell, touch em again its probably already messed up and didnt register my last contact touch. As soon as I done it again the screen changed to waiting for device and then all the beer messages, something about a sunny day and now I have S-OFF!!!!!

[HTC Rezound] nujackk:
Think it should be mentioned (at least from my experience) that at least hboot 2.11 for gb is required. I would not get past the first waiting for device until I relocked and updated to the GB ota firmware I was previously on 2.10 having been unlocked since before the ota and never bother to update it. Also disable antivirus and firewall. Once I did this worked perfect first time
