i didnt install any leak? what are you referring to? Im up and running fine and can boot to recovery still.
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
Sounds like you are running an ICS ROM on GB firmware. Did you install the old firmware patch? That might be the problem.
[HTC Rezound] docslate:
Need some wire trick guidance

I keep getting a repeat message to do the wire trick after multple attempts. Does that mean even the first contact wasn't detected or is it a timing issue?
[HTC Rezound] sliding_billy:
If it hasn't rebooted (succesful or un) then the contacts were never made.

Not sure if this has been said, but im staying stock for a while as i just got shipped a new phone and am going to wait for the OTA supposed to come out 5/9. Once i get the ota whats the likeliness that they could patch this? Should i just s-off right now again?
[HTC Rezound] MattGHT:
trying to S-off my HTC raider

K so, I would say that all I have done so far is run the dev unlock tool for android and installed all the SDK files. I do not think I have superuser configured properly as when I try to run ControlBear I get an immediate crash saying that it cannot backup the files.

First time trying to do this to a device and I can't seem to find reading the instructions over and over again very helpful. Been at this for prolly a good 6 hours now....

I tried the IRC for juopunutBear and they said that I didn''t have superuser correctly configured and it must always allow root access to shell.

I am hoping superuser is the android market app.

I need help asap. Im trying to s-off and now i am stuck control bear saying "Hmmm still no device"

What do i need to do??

i had a problem with htc sync software interfering with the process...right click on it and close it...hope that helps
[HTC Rezound] tbgreen89:
Well i unplugged from computer and took out battery. I can boot into the bootloader but have no recovery or rom installed to try and run control bear again. Do i need to flash amao ra recovery and flash a rom than start over?
[HTC Rezound] chris182818:
No recovery

I had the same problem with only being able to boot in to hboot and not recovery... Phone just stayed on JuopunutBear screen so had to unplug and battery pull. Do not know why that happened and wanted to know the best way to get back in to recovery?
[HTC Rezound] sliding_billy:
i was thinking the same thing when s-off was released, but figured with s-off it mattered not what HTC patched I would be able to get around it still. The other issue is that the May 9th thing is as likely to be B.S. as any other rumor. I would unlock/root/s-off now to be safe.
[HTC Rezound] eagle20g:
Man that "timing" with the points are a B.... Awesome work guys though, this is just awesome

---------- Post added at 02:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:19 PM ----------

I'm having the same issue here

---------- Post added at 02:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:34 PM ----------

I tried flashing amao again and adb isn't connecting in fastboot usb.

So.. what now
[HTC Rezound] sliding_billy:
I recommend a piece of stiff wire. Having the ability to use something a little longer than a paper clip helps the placment, and one of the problems I was having at 1st was pushing the wire too far down in the hole (thus the stiff wire recommendation) instead of just to the touch point.
[HTC Rezound] eagle20g:
I have no recovery now

I tried to re installed ar 3.15 but my phone isn't connecting..

Any help please.. I'm reading n not sure what I'm supposed to do.

Ok so what I did to get recovery

Boot into fastboot, enable fastboot usb

I then fastboot flash recovery jb_boot.img

Restarted, that put me into the j_boot image, I pressed vol up and power... Got into a recovery threw that.. Then restarted, went back into fastboot

Flash ar 3.14 and that worked for me
[HTC Rezound] ShadowMN:
I am having a hell of a time getting the wire trick right... I can get the "Do wire trick now" message to stop and the phone will reboot but it fails the test for S-Off every single time. My questions are-

1) do you have to depress the GRD pin down to actually make the pin connect? It is spring loaded so I just want to make sure... My guess is that I just am not getting the timing exactly right.

2) Will the program reboot the phone even if the timing is not exactly right?
[HTC Rezound] sliding_billy:
1) No, I just swiped the wire across twice like the video shows.

2) Yes, it rebooted on me about 5 times before the succesful one. Other non-succesful contacts just left the "do wire trick now" prompt repeating. The one that ultimtely worked for me actually felt a little shorter than 1.75 sec.
[HTC Rezound] ShadowMN:
Thank you sir.
[HTC Rezound] sliding_billy:
Any time. The thing I had the most trouble with at 1st was not over inserting into the hole but just inserting to the point of contact.

[HTC Rezound] MattGHT:
k so just s-offed...

I just finished the wire trick and have booted juopunut bear. How do I change my HTC raiders OS? (My Android version is 2.3.4 and my HTC sense version is 3.0)

---------- Post added at 02:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 PM ----------

Ithink I got that same error. Are you sure your device is rooted properly? I suggest you look into that because I just rooted my device half an hour ago and that was my only problem.

wasted 6 hours trying to figure that out yesterday.
[HTC Rezound] eagle20g:
Quick question

If your on a GB kernal

and you accidently downloaded the file for ICS and install that, but got s-off to work

Should I take s-off back on and re do it for GB

Ok I'm really having a big head ache right now

I can't get my sd card to read

Now I can't get adb to recognize the device "usb deb on and everything"

Now I don't know what to do
[HTC Rezound] Afro Samurai:
Ok, don't jump on me guys. I'm finally going to take the plunge. Just to be sure I'm s-on, unlocked with gb firmware running ics with patches. I use the gb version of the software right? Current rom I'm on doesn't matter either, right?
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
Yes, run the GB version.
[HTC Rezound] Afro Samurai:
OK great and my current rom doesn't matter either?
[HTC Rezound] eagle20g:
Could anyone give me suggestions to help my get my sd card working

I tried the post in the beginning

My adb isn't connecting, so I have no clue what to do here
[HTC Rezound] tbgreen89:
Okay so heres my problem. I was running a sense 4.0 rom. Debugging on. Fully rooted. Battery cover off and plugged into PC. Ran control bear. Farthest it gets is once it finishes backing up everything it will reboot and go to the green arrow juopunut bear screen. Than control bear will say "hmmm still no device" go into device manager and check adb and or fast boot drivers". Once it does this it just continues waiting for a connection. Then for some odd reason my recovery and rom disappears so I have to use the all in one tool kit to flash a recovery img to flash a rom and start over.

Everything on my computer as far as drivers go are up to date. Is their something I may be missing in my adb fast boot folder?
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
Mixed reviews. I and many other were able to do it on non-stock ROMs, but the JuopunutBear instructions say stock rooted ROM...and some have confirmed that it worked once they flashed the stock ROM on the device...

I say try it first with your current ROM, and as a last resort, you can try flashing stock and then trying again.

---------- Post added at 01:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:34 PM ----------

Have you read through this post?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1615969

Your ROM is probably still there, you just need to flash your boot.img again. I would try flashing your boot.img next time instead of installing the entire ROM every time. JuopunutBear replaces boot.img with it's own to allow it to do it's thing. It is supposed to back up your original boot.img and then restore it when it completes, but that doesn't always happen if you are having problems with the S-OFF procedure. That might save you some time.
[HTC Rezound] eagle20g:
yes I have gone threw that post

I can't even get ADB to reconise my phone anymore. Unless i'm in fastboot
[HTC Rezound] pkopalek:
My windows 7 machine is saying it cannot find drivers for QHSUSB_DLOAD

My screen is blank.

Losing?

This happened right after the wire trick. It did not appear that any 'wrong' terminals were touched during the process.

All other environmental variables were correct (just on try #7 at the wire trick timing)

I am afraid to pull the battery or the USB cable out. Should I? I see other models of HTC fully hard bricked with this error. Am I?
[HTC Rezound] chris182818:
So I got to the JuopunutBear screen but it never asked me to perform wire trick? How long are you supposed to wait? It was a good 30 min

And I finally got back to my current rom but when I rebooted it went back to the JuopunutBear screen again? What am I doing wrong?!?

DON'T do the wire trick unless it tells you too. You're only going to screw up your phone. I honestly think you need to carefully go through this thread and read the directions completely again before attempting this.

I did it when it told me. I'm not stupid. But it kept telling me to keep doing it and then I guess the program gave up.

I got this a second ago too. I tried again and I'm waiting to see what happens.

EDIT: Nope, got the same thing again. I wonder what causes this.

[HTC Rezound] androidrookie84:
No youtube videos on how to do a completed s-off and not just the wiretrick?
[HTC Rezound] SirSigma:
Is it a good idea to install the modified hboot after getting a successful S-OFF? I can't find any clear cut indicator if this is a good idea or not.

EDIT: I used the GB version of Juopuounutbear whatever because the ICS one refused to work on me at first and I was almost certain it bricked my device for a few minutes, and my current ROM is Venusaur. I'm just sitting here not wondering if I should accept or decline it.

EDIT AGAIN: Nevermind, I waited 30 minutes and got no response, so I decided to install it after all.

---------- Post added at 08:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:31 PM ----------

OKAY, that doesn't look like a good sign.

I tried rebooting after installing it and my ROM started acting strange upon booting up. It got to the boot screen and then sounded kind of distorted. The "Pika pika pi" from Venusaur rom sounded kind of freaky and then the phone rebooted.

Now it started up and a bunch of things were supposedly running and force closing on me. Is this a side-effect of changing my hboot to the modified one? For right now, as far as I can tell, it seems to be working.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
woot, just s-offed.

took like, 5 seconds. got the wire trick right away. about to flash the new leak now =) that was pretty painless!
[HTC Rezound] Afro Samurai:
That was as far as I got today. I guess I couldn't get the wire trick down either and I'm tired of trying today. I'll give it another go tomorrow.

Flashing the hboot

If im running Cleanrom 4.3 ICS and I'm going to do the s-off thing do I have to flash the jb_hboot their site doesn't really tell you if you need to flash it or not.

If I do have to flash it I will have to put it on the SD card after the process because wipes the external sd card or can I flash it from the internal?
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
Connect the device before starting the exploit control app.
[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
Aha Got you *****! :D

I had trouble with the wire trick only. Have to make sure you tap the top pin twice!
[HTC Rezound] con247:
ehh it might. If you flash their hboot it could because the android-info.txt has the command to wipe in it.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
3.15 was updated for the ics leak. I would flash 3.14 and try again.
[HTC Rezound] zone23:
What format did you use NTFS/EXT/FAT32 sorry if it was posted..
[HTC Rezound] con247:
I used FAT32.
[HTC Rezound] mc_365:
OK Got it.

I guess the gauge of wire I used was so small it was missing the Pin 1 contact.

When I looked directly down over the pin and lined it up perfect it worked.

Time to Donate!
[HTC Rezound] OLDsJUNKIE:
Didn't realize that because I stuck with the HBOOT from the leak. Sorry if I misled anyone!!
[HTC Rezound] fenguepay:
ok, i go to the wire trick part. SO, i hold it in pin 1, then i tap ground, wait 2 seconds and then tap ground again. It keeps scrolling on waiting for wire trixk
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
make sure you are touching both pins... the one in the top hole on the left hand side is actually a flat pad, and small. It is also fairly far down in there, so use a small enough wire that you can reach it. There is also no plastic down near the contact area to help keep you lined up directly on the contact, so you may slip off if you are not careful.

I did it by holding the wire on the lower contact, then tapping the upper contact.

Also, anyone else with issues... remember you must touch the contacts twice and each tap should be brief, no need to hold it there.

*TAP* "One one thousand (or "One Mississippi" as you prefer)... two" *TAP* (I just counted normal without the special cadence though)

You may be saying the cadence too slowly and that makes you take too long to tap the second time. Find a watch, clock, or other device that ticks seconds to help you get the rhythm.
[HTC Rezound] OLDsJUNKIE:
As far as I can tell it will continue to scroll it until you get it. I had too large a wire when I got to that point and had to find a smaller gauge and still had to stab at it for a couple minutes. If it has a time limit, it's quite a while.
[HTC Rezound] slygeist:
looks like im f'cked procedure didnt complete, now when i start the phone. im stuck on the green arrow joupunutbear screen? am i bricked?
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
I reverted back to 3.14 with the same results. Note I had made a number of backups before using 3.15 on the same rom.

Try rebooting to hboot and reflashing amon ra and your roms's boot image via fastboot.
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
It only takes a few minutes if you get it right... LOL

You just don't want to be so low that you risk power down in the middle of all this.

[HTC Rezound] pkopalek:
After 30+ of this, I gave up.

My phone booted into HBOOT and had nothing. I fastboot oem lock'd, flashed a 3.11.605.22 PH98IMG to get my phone back in line, and re-unlocked and rooted, to go back to normal.

There's always tomorrow!
[HTC Rezound] androidrookie84:
How do you stop the wire trick and and boot your phone back to normal
[HTC Rezound] rsage:
Wow, just did this. What a strange multi-hour odyssey. First problem was my wire had microscopic frays on the end I was using to touch the ground so it wasn't making good contact. Then when I was switched it and it finally worked, the app stopped recognizing my phone in the midst of all the reboots. After many plugs/unplugs and forced reboots, I ended up in a strange state and had to pull battery. Then in bootloader it said s-off but locked and tampered, so I had to manually do the jb hboot. All good now. I see others having similar issues. My main thing was if the wire trick isn't rebooting your phone as it should, make sure you're actually making good contact with whatever you're using.
[HTC Rezound] Afro Samurai:
I said eff it and gave it another shot, after about 10 more tries I'm s-off....:D
[HTC Rezound] SirSigma:
I also had quite a multi-hour odyssey getting S-OFF tonight. Only it was a lot more depressing and scary because I made the bonehead mistake of accepting the modified hboot at the end of the program, causing serious problems.

Also, I took about four tries to get the wire trick working. I found that it helped much more if I put the wire on ground first and then made contact with Pin 1 instead of the other way around like in the video demonstration.
[HTC Rezound] androidrookie84:
I need serious help,I"m stuck in bootloader mode after trying to do the wire trick,I did a battery pull and now i have nothing
[HTC Rezound] rsage:
That happened to me. If you power/vol down, do you get back to bootloader? If so, I had to do that then fastboot flash my boot.img to get a working phone again, then started the process all over.
[HTC Rezound] rsage:
What problems from the modified hboot? Curious because I ended up installing it manually at the end.
[HTC Rezound] androidrookie84:
it can't find the img. file,oh shot!
[HTC Rezound] rsage:
You can flash it from your computer's command line assuming you have fastboot and adb installed. Put your boot.img file in the same directory as fastboot, get your phone into bootloader, then do "fastboot flash boot boot.img". If you have a ph98img.zip file instead, you can put it on the root of your SD card, then boot to bootloader, then do the usual power - then - vol to install the zip. Sorry if that's not clear, tired and fading fast
[HTC Rezound] androidrookie84:
how do i find the command line CMD? I mean i tried to put my SD card in another device to store the img file but no luck
[HTC Rezound] androidrookie84:
So now that my phone is stuck on juopunutBear screen and can't boot even into bootloader anymore,it's safe to say my phone is bricked? i can't do anything with it. Damn I should've never tried that S-off stuff,I'm done rooting and playing around on my phones.
[HTC Rezound] rsage:
I don't know the answer off the top of my head but if you search this thread I think there were others who got out of that situation
[HTC Rezound] sliding_billy:
Are you asking how to get to a comand prompt? start>run>cmd
[HTC Rezound] androidrookie84:
s-off but the bootloader is locked and my sd card isn't reading through recovery now what? Can I Ruu back stock?
[HTC Rezound] ShadowMN:
Just pull your battery and re-install it, then hold down the volume down/pwr buttons at the same time until the bootloader screen comes up. Seems like you are not familiar with running command prompts so you are gonna need to study up on that. You will need to use fastboot to push a boot.img for your ROM to your phone and then flash a custom recovery back onto the phone. Then just restore a nandroid backup and you are running again.
[HTC Rezound] tbgreen89:
So I'm stuck. I got all the way where it says do wire trick now! But my phone is.showing a black screen with a silver htc logo. Wire trick don't work. Any ideas ?
[HTC Rezound] ShadowMN:
That is the correct screen for the wire trick. You need to make good contact with your wire to both pins (that was my problem), if you do that the phone should reboot. If you get the 1-3/4sec timing correct you should get S-Off, if not it will tell you it failed and you need to re-run Controlbear.
[HTC Rezound] tbgreen89:
So once I do get it. Will it boot back into bootloader?
[HTC Rezound] drinkhere:
Hi i have a question that might have been answered before but i can't find that answer. so my question is i got s-off on my rezound but for some reason when i boot into the bootloader it still says unlock but with s-off so how can i fix that ? do i just relock the bootloader or is there another way ? thanks
[HTC Rezound] ShadowMN:
I think it is supposed to but after mine finally gave me the S-Off success message it stuck at the JuopunutBear screen. I just pulled the battery, rebooted into hboot and flashed the boot.img and amon recovery.
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
I'm stuck at the white HTC logo screen.

I can get to bootloader and that's about it.

The S-OFF went perfectly and everything worked on the first try, so what happened?
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
u need to flash a boot.img for your rom or restore a nandroid
[HTC Rezound] Smitelight:
Same thing here. ADB in WinXP never sees any device. Windows doesn't even recognize that anything is plugged in. If I try to reboot to recovery, it just hangs on the HTC logo and eventually returns to the boot loader. ControlBear said it was successful.
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
From Gboro, nice stuff man, I'm in Winston.

Anyway, it won't let me get into recovery either, guessing I have to flash my recovery again too?

Either my fastboot isn't working and/or I don't remember the commands.

but when I click fastboot in the folder with my adb and fastboot, nothing happens.
