It seems to be hit or miss to be honest. My phone took me about 3 hours to get it right, was able to do the wire trick but it kept saying still sober. I just continued and continued finally it took.
[HTC Rezound] Hotweelz66:
Ok, thanks for trying. I appreciate the effort.

Anyone else willing to try and help me? Please. :o
[HTC Rezound] sindroidx:
Ok, I will give it a try. If some of these questions were already answered though sorry, bear with me, at work so not a lot of time to read back through previous posts.

1) When booted to your ROM, do you have root access on applications?

2) Are you utilizing the ICS Firmware patch?

3) Have you tried re-downloading the tool?

4) Have you tried disabling and re-enabling usb debugging?

5) If all else fails, would you be willing to try upgrading your RUU to the leaked ICS, and trying the ICS Script? (If this works you can then downgrade back to the GB RUU)

Sorry guy...

---------- Post added at 04:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:03 PM ----------

LOL.
[HTC Rezound] Hotweelz66:
1. yes, have root access.

2. I rooted and never loaded any rom so I should be on stock Gingerbread.

3. yes redownloaded twice.

4. have not tried disabling then re-enabling usb debugging. But will try soon after I finish this post.

5. How easy is upgrading RUU to ICS leak? If this doesn't work what would be my options afterwards?

Edit: Still get this:

======== ControlBear version 0.2.1 for JuopunutBear S-OFF ==========

Starting up......

Backing up......

Program requires root, sorry.

Transferring backups....

Backup FAILED!!

Exiting!!

[HTC Rezound] droidrev71:
can someone give some help.. i know there have been answers and post for the internal storage and sd card problems. i cant even get busybox to install to start the external sd card fix..thanks
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
You shouldn't need to update to the ICS leak to get this to work.
[HTC Rezound] sindroidx:
In order to upgrade the RUU you must re-lock your device, go to http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...id-4-0-build-3-11-605-22-for-the-htc-rezound/ download one of the stock RUU upgrades, rename it to PH98IMG.zip, and flash it through bootloader (it needs to be flashed twice). Then unlock your device again.

Before doing that though, next question is (once again, sorry if you already answered it) What recovery do you have installed? You SHOULDN'T have to upgrade the RUU for this to work, but stranger things have happened. I would wait to see if anyone else also has any input before upgrading the RUU just in case.
[HTC Rezound] maxearing:
i finally got s-off but but now it boots into bootloader ever time i boot. then i flashed recovery and now it boots into recovery. i did .1 control bear. what do i do from here
[HTC Rezound] Hotweelz66:
I have Amon Ra v. 3.15 recovery installed.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Wait, are you saying you rebooted your computer and the USB port doesn't respond at all? To anything? To a USB drive? That's a new one. Do you have a USB mouse?
[HTC Rezound] unichem:
its seems that using 4ext recovery will making my htc sensation in bootloop...used clockwork can get into Juopunutbear loader..now still trying the wire trick!
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Reflash your boot image. You can do that in fastboot usb:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

OR, you can 7zip it into a PH98IMG.ZIP (add an android-info.txt file from another PH98IMG.ZIP), put it in your card, and flash in hboot/bootloader.

Afterwards, power off and reboot normally. You should be good to go.

can anyone help me get my storage and sd card working. i successfully completed s-off and now am stuck on rom with no storage or sd card..i ran the internal fix on op and dont have room for anything. also tried the external sd card fix and device not found through terminal emulator
[HTC Rezound] sindroidx:
Not sure if this makes a difference with the Root issue, but are you running the exe as admin?

---------- Post added at 03:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:36 PM ----------

If you running the ext sd card fix through terminal emulator, ignore the "adb shell" commands and just do busybox fdisk blah blah.
[HTC Rezound] Hotweelz66:
yes , running as admin.
[HTC Rezound] sindroidx:
I am honestly not sure my friend, I did mine on the ICS RUU had no issues with root, ran into a couple different errors but I kept trying till it worked.. Sorry man, wish I could have been more help.

I'm giving up for now i know i'm doing the Wire Trick right but i keep getting that i'm still sober for some reason. can anybody give me some input of what i might be doing wrong iv'e done just about everything i could and still keep getting the still sober error.
[HTC Rezound] unichem:
do we need busybox installed for this s-off method?
[HTC Rezound] sindroidx:
Try running just the final command and see what that does. Looks as if maybe something erased your mmcblk1 already.
[HTC Rezound] sindroidx:
Actually hold. Have you promoted yourself to Su in the terminal?
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
So this busybox fix for ext-sd is for when in recovery you choose to mount ext-sd and it says it cannot, correct? I ran all those commands in terminal emulator and I still cannot mount the ext-sd in recovery.

When I selected the w option, I got a warning that it is still using the old file. I thought that was just because it was in use, but when I rebooted it would reload what I modified and all would be well. Apparently I was wrong in that Amon RA 3.15 still is not able to mount ext-sd.
[HTC Rezound] sindroidx:
Should allow it to mount in recovery as well. Does your sd card mount in your rom?
[HTC Rezound] maxearing:
ya i just did and it still says applet now found
[HTC Rezound] bgmikejr:
I also installed the ENG HBOOT and flashed the GB Radios and the old firmware patch and I am running at 90 degrees farenheit on average now and the rom seems more responsive and smoother so I am gonna say it was definitely the radios that made the overheating issues we all are having on the ICS Radios.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Timing is everything. Here's a 35 second clip (*.aac format) which you can loop to get the feel for approximately 1.75 second intervals. This is a metronome at 53 bpm. I had this running when I did it myself.
[HTC Rezound] sindroidx:
Alright yea, only thing I can think of is try running the final command to make the mmcblk1p1 (I think is what it is, can't remember off the top of my head OP has the final command)
[HTC Rezound] droidrev71:
if someone could help with this sd storage that would be great.. nothing has worked for me
[HTC Rezound] Db0y505:
My bad, I mean that the computer will not detect the phone on any usb port, but it detects everything else i put in the usb port
[HTC Rezound] SteveDusa:
I'll share my own experience with the S-Off procedure here.

So I have the leaked ICS firmware including the HBoot, radio and whatever it came with the package flashed while relocked, which was the only way to upgrade those things, and running off CleanROM 4.2 after re-un-lock.

First try with version 0.1 built, a PC formatted spare SD card to FAT32, resulted in Still Sober error. Tried it twice and no go.

UNTIL... I changed the wire and the method of execute the wire trick.

Find yourself a large, insulated paper clip. You might need to cut off some insulation at each end to expose the wire but that's not hard. Then make sure your spare SD card is freshly formatted in FAT32.

Now, pay attention of the angel of the paper clip touching the pin 1. I found out if the wire is not straight when it goes into the pin 1's hole, it won't make a proper contact so bend your paper clip a bit to ensure a straight angel.

Then place the other end of the paper clip close by the ground contact but don't touch it. Run the S-Off as admin and prepare to do the wire trick.

The best way is just place your phone screen down and have your hands holding the paper clip and ready to touch the ground pin to complete the circuit at moment's notice.

As soon as the prompt shows up to do the wire trick, do it fast but yes timing is important. Here's a trick, by default the cursor on your command prompt window blinks once per second so that should give you a yard stick.

I was able to do the S-Off on the 3rd try with a slightly modified, insulated paper clip.
[HTC Rezound] droidrev71:
i think after running the commands to fix external sd card my card got zapped... no data.. i tried to mount it and it says no data. put it in card reader and my computer is asking me to format it..wtf!!! all my stuff was on my card!!
[HTC Rezound] djh816:
Thank you! I kept getting the error and research led me only to your post. Few tries later, s-off :D
[HTC Rezound] sindroidx:
Yes, it formats the card. There is a disclaimer in the OP stating that.
[HTC Rezound] droidrev71:
are you referrring to the s-off procedure? i know that part. didn't see that external sd card fix does zap card. if thats the case fine.. why cant i still mount my sd card?
[HTC Rezound] drinkhere:
quick question i got it to work do i have to install the modified hboot?
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
Yeah, I can mount it in my ROM, but not in Recovery.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
Are you guys who are having difficulties following the screen carefully and drinking beers at the appropriate prompts? ;)
[HTC Rezound] droidrev71:

---------- Post added at 04:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:49 PM ----------

can you answer? what part of the op are you referring to? The big bold letters at the top of op? i am talking about fixing the sd card and internal storage
[HTC Rezound] SteveDusa:
You don't HAVE to.

However if you feel like to, you maybe do it at a later time.

Depending on your HBoot and radio package version, you can consult this post:

[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
plenty of beers consumed...which is why I got the S-OFF stuff in there no problem. My only issue is that my ROM can mount the SD card, but AmonRA 3.15 cannot not (when I go to Mounts->ext-sd). I get an error that it cannot mount mmcblk1p2 (File Found)...

oh well...
[HTC Rezound] sindroidx:
Did you try running the final command? Since it is saying mmcblk is not found it looks as if maybe it was already deleted. So now we want to make the mmcblk1p1. Not sure if that will work but its worth a try I suppose.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Going to take a wild-eyed guess that you have two sets of drivers for the phone installed on the PC. Not sure when or how you would have done that, but I distinctly recall having that problem early on when I inadvertently installed drivers over drivers. HTC Sync (which I believe you said you have installed) installs one set of drivers. You want the pure adb/fastboot drivers for the phone. In fact, you really don't care about the drivers at all, just make sure you have the android sdk properly installed and to heck with htc sync.

If you have one set of drivers, if task manager doesn't show fastboot or adb running already, and if you've freshly rebooted your phone, I cannot fathom why you cannot connect it to the PC (and make sure you're in CHARGE, not DRIVE mode on the Rezound).
[HTC Rezound] droidrev71:
i freaking give up for now!!! i will be on later if anyone is gracious enough to help with storage and sd card..
[HTC Rezound] sindroidx:
Yes the big bold letters. Since the sd card fix is part of the s off procedure it would seem to me that it is accurate in saying that disclaimer accounts for everything in that post.
[HTC Rezound] droidrev71:
tried it..nope
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Make sure you check the FAQ thread; there's some discussion of the issue there. Also, in an attempt to ask a perfectly harmless question, you *aren't* trying to mount the same sdcard (external) that you used for the exploit are you? If so, it's no longer formatted --- if it was your "main" card (that's a no-no, the instructions were quite clear) it needs to be reformatted Fat32 in your PC.
[HTC Rezound] mithong:
I'm currently on the ICS leak firmware...

If I want to go completely back to GB... is this what I have to do?

1. perform the S-OFF procedure

2. reject the hboot installation, and install the jb_hboot file for ICS

3. run the GB RUU

thanks.
[HTC Rezound] sindroidx:
Hmm, driving down the road right now, when I get to a computer I will try to replicate the issue on my phone to try and assist in finding a resolution for you.
[HTC Rezound] droidrev71:
I used a different SD card for f-off.. no where in all the pages did I see someone have an issu with SD card data and external SD card fix. Go look in google play for busy box? Really?
[HTC Rezound] sindroidx:
Hey man, I am trying to help you here. No need to jump down my throat. If you thought I was being an asshole my bad wasn't meant to be that way.

Next, if you still want my help that is, do me a favor and type busybox in your terminal and tell me if it lists all the busybox commands.

Also, yes google play busybox. That is what I had to do to get mine working, installed the app then opened it and installed busybox and everything worked for me. If it is not working for you I am sorry to hear that but like I stated previously, I am trying to help you resolve it.
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
So presently on hboot 2.11 and GB radios--I use the GB tool, reject the hboot, correct? Or accept the hboot? And then once I'm s-off I can run the ICS ruu to get ICS firmware without needing to relock?
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Correct. Reject the hboot. (Use con247's if you want instead, or keep it as it is at 2.11).
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
Cool. But when I flash the ICS ruu after s-off it'll replace the hboot, right? Not that it matters, really.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Prolly. It ought to, the RUU includes an updated bootloader; radio and ROM. Oh, you'll have to reflash Amon Ra after running the RUU, then using the recovery to re-root.

no it tells u that you failed

[HTC Rezound] Whi7eRa66iT:
Had complete success on mine with NilsP's Business Sense as the Rom in place. I had the ICS installed. Followed the instructions provided but Juopunutbear and it took me 6 tries myself with the timing of the wire trick. I am running a Linux box. When the wire trick failed, I would get the Errorcode: 66732337 (Still sober) and the script would Quit. I did not touch my phone, but just re-launched the executable and it picked up where it left off.. At the "Do wire-trick now!!" prompt.

Well done Juopunutbear, you all rock! My phone is back up and NilsP's Rom is intact and everything seems to be running properly.

Note: I did use a second SDCard for this as a Just In Case.
[HTC Rezound] mike.s:
If timing is everything, you ain't got no rhythm. (60 sec/min) / (1.75 sec/beat) ~= 34 beats per minute.

Did it on ics after 2 runs, used paper clip. I didn't know you could keep trying while it said do wire trick the first time. Second time I got it pretty quick. Thank u for this

That's hysterical. LOL. That's what you get for trusting someone who only knows how to multiple by a third or 40%. I think the way my tortured brain did it was to say 30 bpm = 2 second intervals and 60 bpm = 1 second interval so 1.5 would be 45 and so on. This is why my wife handles the checking account. I suppose I should fix my loop and repost. The amazing thing is I got success with my incorrect rate!

[HTC Rezound] SightSeeker:
I give up. I can't get the timing down or something. This pisses me off to no end because all I want to do is go back to stock so my phone doesn't get to 120 depress every time I use it. Every time I try it trashes my SD card and I have to run those commands in the terminal on the phone. It takes 15 minutes for each try. Oh well I'm stuck until they do the OTA ICS or I get a new phone,
[HTC Rezound] Insidious:
At least I'm not alone! Lol this much stress isn't good for one :b. i'll keep digging around.
[HTC Rezound] AndroidGraphix:
Wow. After two days I finally got it. I'll post how I did it soon, if it helps anyone.

First off, I'm on ICS, Hboot 2.21...

Here's what I did:

1) Relocked the bootloader

2) Hbooted the RUU found here: rezound_ics_androidpolice_3.11.605.22 (2).zip

DL Link here: http://lts.cr/Be5_

3) Unlocked

4) Installed Recovery

5) Flashed Clean ROM Standard 4.3

6) Ran the Program

7) Waited until the White Hboot screen appeared then waited for the program to give the okay to "do the wire trick." (Sometimes, it would say to do it on the black HTC screen but I never had any luck with that.

My advice for people have trouble on this part, is to start fresh. I tried installing just the boot.img but that only brought the program to the black HTC screen when it required the wire trick. If you do a fresh install. RUU and all, you'll get the white htc hboot screen and that's where the magic happens. Hope this helps.
[HTC Rezound] localceleb:
Interesting....i've only ever gotten the black htc screen for the wire trick
[HTC Rezound] luis86dr:
In some cases yes.

[HTC Rezound] V0latyle:
What is the reasoning behind using an insulated conductor for the jumper trick? I understand wanting to avoid ESD for obvious reasons, but beyond that, why not just use a bare paperclip or something?

Also, as I asked earlier, is the SD card needed to perform this? As I understand from the instructions, this process will wipe the SD card, but I haven't seen anything to indicate actually needing to load anything off the card...
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
Yeah me too. It started off happening at the white screen for me, but I was getting weird prompts on the BearControl app.. Once I finally got it at the black HTC screen, it seemed like everything was smooth from there. Strange indeed.
[HTC Rezound] localceleb:
you were successful at the black screen?
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
Yes, when I finally did the wire trick successfully, I was at a black screen with silver HTC logo in the middle.

I had about 10 failed attempts where it told me to do the wire trick at the black screen with juonuputbear in the middle, and also several failed attempts at the white bootloader screen.

I was using SebastianFMs kernel at all the other failures. As soon as I switched to the ICS 4.0.1 kernel and tried again, all those attempts were at the Black HTC screen, and it took about 3 attempts there before I did it correctly. Weird ****....
[HTC Rezound] localceleb:
that's interesting information...thanks.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
If I'm not mistaken, ControlBear program loads files in a non-DOS partition of the sdcard to run the exploit.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
The reason behind using an insulated wire is because they actually tell you to hold the wire on a live part of the board, and short it out to ground. While you're holding that wire, if you have a static charge in your body, you could destroy cirtuitry on the board.

I'm kinda puzzled though... they should have told you to hold the wire on the ground contact, and then short that to the other pin. Its safer for the electronics, and its just common electrical practice to go from ground first to the other connection rather than vice versa.
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
Alright, so I'm stuck with the connect device problem. If I battery pull, am I going to need to reflash my boot img and recovery?
