[HTC Rezound] antp121:
i got it too. just plugged into computer, pulled battery and then sd card (because there was a ph98img on it), went into fastboot, flashed recovery, and then flashed a rom. worked like a charm.

When I was on recovery I just pulled the battery and booted into my Rom and then rebooted in bootloader and had s-off
[HTC Rezound] Kennnny1:
Just hit power off from recovery, rebooted into the rom (which was a strange boot btw- flickering screen) then it reconnected and finished. S-Off now, finally! Will be donating.
[HTC Rezound] andrix10:
tyvm it worked

the only problem i have right now is that its not recognizing my 16gb card for some reason

edit:i tried booting into the recovery and the sd-ext mount works, so should i just reinstall the ROM?

[HTC Rezound] MoStDoPe601:
For some reason I can't get anywhere with this. Gets to transferred backups then backup failed press enter to exit. Not really sure what I haven't done. I have all the files in the same directory as fastboot/adb and have the drivers installed. USB debugging is also enabled. Has anyone else seen the same error?
[HTC Rezound] graymonkey44:
V.02 screws up restoring backups. Go back to V.01. I posted it in the last page or two. Don't flash the hboot if it asks or you're internal memory will get wiped.
[HTC Rezound] Nic2112:
What I had to do at that point was within AmonRA's dev menu, reboot the phone to boot loader. From there the script continued and finished.
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
I flashed the hboot when v0.1 asked and it did not format my internal sd.

[HTC Rezound] TB13:
Yes, this will let you got back to GB. Go back to GB and see if you issues go away, if they don't then you know that its not the software making your battery life suck.

[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
So the rumors about shorting things out were true this whole time, eh?
[HTC Rezound] ijustwantmydock:
still having trouble on ubuntu can someone make a tutorial of where to put the files and what command prompts to type
[HTC Rezound] fix-this!:
Sorta shocked they released a method with shorting involved. Before i try this is s-off reversable back to factory s-on without saying relocked or tampered? 2nd will this wipe my entire device? If so can i use a nandroid backup becuase ive heard a few say recovery isnt working right. Do i have to reflash amon after doing s-off?
[HTC Rezound] badogg:
I keep getting

/data/local/Juopunutbear not found

Press enter to exit
[HTC Rezound] TB13:
You can go back to stock with fastboot commands. It does not wipe the entire device, but after doing it I had to reflash my ROM to get it to boot. Recovery works fine, just don't install their HBOOT if you on the ICS leak. Make a backup before and restore to it after if necessary.
[HTC Rezound] localceleb:
anybody else brick besides me?
[HTC Rezound] con247:
You bricked?
[HTC Rezound] mbarry55:
Would speaker wire work ok for this? I'm honestly a little nervous about trying all this. I've had a number of Android devices but never had to do anything like this.
[HTC Rezound] localceleb:
yup...was trying to salvage by reflashing the latest ics leak, but its not even accepting fastboot commands anymore...
[HTC Rezound] fix-this!:
Im on gb so i can probably just wipe and do a restore, reflash the kernel. What are you guys using to short it? All i have is an insualted paperclip, is that ok? I wont lie im a bit nervous with this method.
[HTC Rezound] localceleb:
i don't think its 100% bricked because I can still get in to hboot, but I havent figured out how to get past there yet
[HTC Rezound] TB13:
I used small speaker wire, worked fine.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
If it conducts electricity, fits in the hole, and has insulation where you are gonna hold it, it should work just fine.
[HTC Rezound] Droidel:
I had a thread about shorting things in the back of the phone many months ago. I knew it!
[HTC Rezound] con247:
can you get to hboot? If you can, PM me and ill try to help you.
[HTC Rezound] localceleb:
yes, but it's not responding to any commands for some reason

Will a paperclip work? Insulated of course, purple ones too thanks to my wife lol.

[HTC Rezound] wrarvoz:
I might have been confused, but I now have "locked" and S-off and I was thinking I'd be able to flash a new recovery without unlocking it again since i have s-off. Is this not the case? It says it cannot write because it's locked. Then, as usual it worked fine once I unlocked the bootloader. I know this isn't a big deal, but I was under the impression that I would be able to do these things without unlocking the bootloader again.

[HTC Rezound] fenguepay:
That means that you should reopen the program and do the wire trick again. Tha is a wire trick error
[HTC Rezound] fenguepay:
What you need to do is make sure that the exe is in same dir as the extra files that came with the exe
[HTC Rezound] fenguepay:
Oh, and who thinks that this post should be stickied

?
[HTC Rezound] Evo4gLI:
This is not a wire trick error. There was a problem with v.0.2. You need to redownload v.1 and use that. Someone posted it here not to long ago.
[HTC Rezound] RoyHinkley:
I'll second this post. I tried all day - formatting sd, switching sd, reflashing recovery - but nothing worked until I tried v 0.1. I had to do the wire trick twice but I finally got it! I'm on the newest ICS firmware leak so I did not flash the boot image that automatically installs with v0.1. I pulled the boot.img from v0.2 and flashed it in hboot then reflashed AmonRa. It still boots to the green arrow screen so now I will try to load my nandroid and see what happens. Oh yeah, I also pulled the sd and reformatted it on the computer before I flashed jb_boot.img in hboot.
[HTC Rezound] Max725:
It is a known issue with v0.2. You must use v0.1 (below) or v0.3 (not yet existent).

If you use v0.1 and you are on ICS firmware, do not install their hboot during the original procedure—they unintentionally included the wrong one, and it will mess up your internal memory. If you wish, you can later install it as instructed here:

Again, that is only for ICS firmware.

Also, v0.1 will mess up you external SD—use a spare or back everything up beforehand, and afterwards, format it with your computer using an SD card reader. (If you do not have one, try this, but I have not done it and cannot confirm that it works):

Hope this helps!
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Just lucky I guess

Ran the exploit tonight; had Amon Ra and boot image available before I did the deed. Took two tries to get the wire trick right (didn't even realize I had it the second time because the handset gets "lost" in Juopunut's temporary recovery until you reflash Amon Ra --- and doesn't boot into ROM until you reflash boot.img.)

Amon Ra acts weird the first time you run it, but after rebooting a couple of times it runs fine --- doing another Nandroid now.

Another piece of advice which may help with the wire trick. Get ahold of a metronome and set it to 54 bpm. That's about a 1.75 second interval. I tried it on 52 and that didn't work. Listen to the beat and just do the wire trick in time to the beats.

BTW, I ran the 0.2 so my internal sdcard was untouched.
[HTC Rezound] cincyelite22:
Okay im trying the wire trick and its taking a while lol. I noticed that I dont see the jouponut bear screen before it asks for the trick though? Do I need to restart the process somehow?
[HTC Rezound] numbroino21:
I finally got it to work!

Here are the steps I took, I hope it helps.

1. Made a nand

2. Used Scott's 10x wipe.

3. Did a fresh install of the Rom that I'm using(rezrom 3.4) including the kernel

4. Used v.1(for ics windows), it took about three times to get the timing right.

5. It said it was "rebooting to bootloader" but it went to recovery for some reason.

6. I rebooted my phone from recovery, the program found my phone and finished.

7. I had to flash the internal sd fix from the op.

8. All is good and s-off.

I hope this helps, I had been working on it for ten hours before I got it.
[HTC Rezound] xceebeex:
I am thinking about taking the plunge to unlock the bootloader and do S-off. Anyway, for those having problems with v2 is it just for the people on the ICS leaks or is it for anyone?

Right now I am 100% stock so I am still doing a little research before I go for it. I came from two Samsung phones which were MUCH easier to root but I wasn't happy with the file system or the crappy radios they had.

[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
Try again that means u didn't hit it the second time just right
[HTC Rezound] Max725:
That means you did not get the timing of the wire trick quite right...

Just close and restart ControlBear. It should right away prompt you to do the wire trick again.

v0.2 often causes problems with the backup step. See my previous post at

I saw that the v0.1 file that was re-posted was for ICS though, which is why I thought it may have been more for the ICS folks.

Can't Mount Internal_sdcard on recovery

Hi Guys,

After doing everything to get s-off, now in recovery when I try mount the internal sdcard it doesn't mount, it say; Can't mount /internal_sdcard.

I already try Amon Ra Recovery and Clockwork recovery and still same problem.

Any help?

Thanks
[HTC Rezound] zer0cloud:
I am sseriously considering attempting s-off!! But a quick question, I am running CleanRom 4.3 with old firmware patch.

My question would be would I use v.01 or v.02?
[HTC Rezound] graymonkey44:
That's because it has the ics hboot. It doesn't matter if you're on GB. Just don't flash the hboot and you're good.
[HTC Rezound] maxearing:
im thinking about giving this up. i have put in 6 hours trying to get s off.
[HTC Rezound] graymonkey44:
are you using a paper clip?
[HTC Rezound] Max725:
I have been on the ICS firmware since it was leaked, so what I posted does apply primarily to ICS. Sorry for not making that clear...

If you are on ICS firmware, try this: (from what I have heard, this problem only affects phones on ICS firmware)
[HTC Rezound] SOGJC:
Thanks for replay,

I did that and nothing.

Thanks
[HTC Rezound] maxearing:
im using every thing. i used a paper clip, then i tried wire, now i have a paper clip attached to wire.
[HTC Rezound] xceebeex:
Ok, it looks like I have a little more research to do to make sure I understand the differences between all of this hboot/fastboot/etc stuff. Is there a checkbox or something when using that Control Bear program?
[HTC Rezound] graymonkey44:
I

Just run the program. Once you have

achieved s-off, it will prompt to download Hboot. Just hit no when it does.

Lol... Innovation right there. You are keeping contact with pin 1 the whole time right? I'm not trying to sound obvious or stupid. Also did you restart your computer and/or phone?
[HTC Rezound] maxearing:
i have no idea what im doing wrong
[HTC Rezound] xceebeex:
So is that hboot what is causing the issues with v0.2? So if I don't install that hboot, my internal sdcard won't be wiped and restores will work properly?

Also, are there any requirements for the external sd card? I have a real old 512MB card that I found lying around that I would like to use, but does it need to have a certain amount of available space?
[HTC Rezound] maxearing:
o ya im going to take a few min break then come back
[HTC Rezound] michaelbsheldon:
What next?

Am unlocked, s-0n, hBoot 2.11, have not run ICS leak, and tried

the Bear s-0ff once. It ate the sdCard and I've tried 2 others freshly formatted.

It boots to green screen Bear and is not recognized by any windows computer anymore, either in fastboot or in green Bear screen.

Starting Bear says to connect and times out.

Fastboot does not switch to Fastboot-USB when I connect like it usually did.

It's like the usb cable isn't connecting anymore.

What can I do to move forward?

p.s. it does not charge anymore either

hope someone has a suggestion: can't do a PBIMG cuz its unlocked.
[HTC Rezound] graymonkey44:
The hboot is what caused issues in v.01. It was supposed to be fixed in v.02, but there was an issue with backing up the files. The exe isn't specific between which ROM, firmware, or hboot I'm pretty sure. I don't know about the size of the sd card. I'm pretty sure it has to be FAT 32, to work though.
[HTC Rezound] nnnnr14:
Still cant get the external to mount.
[HTC Rezound] V0latyle:
I'm in the middle of a field exercise so I'm no where near trying this. I was wondering though...Since this wipes the SD card, is it possible to do this (and avoid wiping the card) simply by performing the operation with no SD card in the device?
[HTC Rezound] graymonkey44:
Which ROM and firmware are you running?
[HTC Rezound] mtbhk44:
OK, I did finally get it to go. I used some low grade speaker wire. Did the trick immediately. Paper clips were not working for me. High grade speaker wire was too thick.

Now, I'd like to start from scratch on this phone with the GB stock Firmware. How do I go about doing this? Where would I find these files? I'm not even sure what I'm looking for.

Thanks in advance
[HTC Rezound] NoNotReally:
OK so I DL'd v.01 and tried it but I got the still sober error. The problem is that now the phone is just showing the JuopunutBear screen and not restarting so I can try again. Trying to run ControlBear again just gets me the "No beer for bear tonight :(" error. I'm pretty sure I did everything exactly right except for the timing of the wire trick. What's going on?
[HTC Rezound] cincyelite22:
Okay ive been listening to this metronome beat at 54bpm for about a half hour while i wait for my girlfriend to go to bed so I dont get in trouble again lol. I think the metronome should fix my time issue,

but I still was not able to see the bear screen at all when it was taking me through the process. I always did the wire trick when prompted and it would say still sober. The only screens Id see were fastboot, the black screen with the silver htc letters, and my phone rebooting a couple times to the white htc screen then into the rom.

Im almost positive something is wrong if the bear screen isnt coming up during the process.
[HTC Rezound] :
I know, this frustrated me all day. Try this. Format sdcard with pc. Reinstall amon ra through cmd prompt. Put s off files in in same directory as fastboot. Then try again.

sent from my rezound
[HTC Rezound] cincyelite22:
Reflash your recovery and then the boot image of the rom you have. Then try the trick again. Im pretty sure someone posted this earlier, but dont take my word for this because I still haven't accomplished s-off. This worked for me though when I ran into this problem a bit ago though.
[HTC Rezound] bgmikejr:
Thanks for whoever wrote these steps as I tried using v0.2 for about and hour and wasn't getting anywhere. I am on the ICS Firmware so I followed the above instructions and after getting "Still Sober" about 6 times I read this and switched to v0.1 and got "Still Sober" 6 more times and each time I was pulling the battery, putting my SD card back into my computer, formatting it, then putting it back into the phone and then going into the bootloader holding down power and volume down and going to fastboot and flashing amon ra 3.14 recovery and then the sense4_boot.img for newts RC 2.1 ICS Rom and then going back into the rom and running Control Bear and it would fail. I was able to do all of this and still get "Still Sober" 12 times, then I read on here you could just restart it and it would try again so I did that another 3 times and finally it took. So yes everyone is right in saying timing is everything but have patience and it will work eventually cause I was determined to get S-Off which I did finally. After I got it my bootloader was locked so I unlocked it with my unlock bin from htc dev like before when I had S-On and now I am unlocked with S-Off. I just wanna say thanks to everyone who has helped with this process on here I "Really" appreciate it :D
[HTC Rezound] graymonkey44:
Congratulations! Nice work. Just want to let you know that you don't need to unlock your phone again after s-off. You're bootloader can be locked and everything will work just fine. Although a little too late, but you just did an extra step.

[HTC Rezound] graymonkey44:
I'm not sure. Some people are having success with Linux. Try installing Wubi. It allows you to use Linux and windows at the same time. Then try the Linux version. You might have better luck.

Also make sure you have the HTC drivers and phone is in charge only mode. Also if you have HTC sync on your computer, delete it.
[HTC Rezound] NoNotReally:
Ok, I think I ****ed up. I took out and put back my battery and tried reinstalling AmonRa from the PH98IMG in this post but I still can't get the phone to go into recovery. I'm starting to get worried.
