Thanks a lot guys. I just like to know things. Like what not to do!
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Re-unlock will cause your device to say relocked again (I assume) and it wipes your internal SD card too.
[HTC Rezound] scotty1223:
just like before. youll be unlocked until you RUU,at wich point youll be locked again.

wiping the internal sd is a good point,tho... i dont intentially keep stuff in my internal sd,so that hadnt occured to me.

if yovue alot of important stuff there,flashing the patched hboot may be a better option.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
It is just a pain more than anything. 16gb or whatever in both directions over USB 2.0 could be fairly slow.

Won't it say **Relocked** instead of just locked?
[HTC Rezound] scotty1223:
you never have to relock it. just run an ruu. at wich point it will get rid of unlocked,tampered,or whatever else is there ;)

when its s-off,it doesnt do the checks that it did before in deciding to make hboot say relocked

like i said in the other thread,im not anti eng or patched hboot. it just makes me nervous all the flashing i see going on,and alot of folks dont even know why theyre doing it
[HTC Rezound] con247:
I was not aware that relocking it with S-OFF changed it to locked instead of relocked. That is something to consider then. However if MD5s are checked it is pretty safe. Plus, everyone is still within the year warranty and if they brick they can get a free replacement.
[HTC Rezound] scotty1223:
no... looks like i was wrong... *smacks forehead* :o

those wanting some eng commands should just flash the patched hboot
[HTC Rezound] xceebeex:
I just achieved S-Off a few minutes ago and I think I want to go this route, but it is my first time flashing something like this. Does it matter where on the SD card I put it? I am assuming just put it in the root of the SD card and rename it.

What are the steps to "flash bootloader when prompted" Also, where can I get the stock 2.11 hboot so I can have it in case I ever want to go back to S-On locked?

EDIT: Ha, nevermind. The reason I couldn't get it to flash was because stupid windows renamed it PH98IMG.zip.zip

I am still curious if anyone has a link to the stock hboot though so I could go back to S-On if I ever need/wanted to.
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Would just have to flash an RUU to get stock hboot back .. course I am sure you could pull the hboot from the RUU and flash it :) Sure Con could help with that :)
[HTC Rezound] con247:
working on a little something now... how about an hboot that shows S-ON even when it is S-OFF?
[HTC Rezound] HowardZ:
I think people want something that looks very very stock and unmodified - with just maybe one little thing (maybe a "." where one shouldn't be) - to know it isn't really a stock hboot, but is a special modified hboot. And it shows locked, but does the unlock things.

So, if Verizon looks at the hboot screen it appears unmodified,untampered,locked,etc..

Having Juopeneidbear displayed probably is not very appealing to most people.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
nolimitzr2 and I were thinking possibly one that looks completely unmodded, but with an * instead of a - so S*ON or something. Maybe S-0N?

I have jb hboot 2.11.11111, and does it have same functionality as this hboot or the Eng hbot
[HTC Rezound] derek4484:
I feel your pain. This is my first HTC phone and its all a little complicated, S-OFF/S-on, HBoot, Fastboot, Firmwares, etc. I had a galaxy S for 2.5 years and it was MUCH simpler, just use Odin or Clockworkmod to flash whatever the heck you wanted to and they were pretty much impossible to brick. Samsung definitely makes it easier for the hackers/modders. This whole thing about which hboot to use and what firmware are you running, and dont do this and dont do that sucks. And for someone who's new to HTC phones and their "structure" how do you learn the technical ins and outs of it all?
[HTC Rezound] HowardZ:
Derek, I also feel the learning curve.

I came from a Droid-X. All one needed to do was root, clockwordmod, and then many AOSP based ROMS - all they required is you started from stock GB. And if things got hosed, there was RSDLite program and SBF file to put everything back to stock.

The HTC Rezound allows one to replace the stock recovery. This is something new but convenient. (With droid-x needed a boothijack zip to add to the AOSP ROM to allow booting into clockworkmod recovery from a powered off state).

As to hboot - I think people can just use the stock hboot. It is not clear that the ENG hboot or other hboots have any features that developers will use in the future. The S-OFF certainly will come in handy for developers in the future, and to RUU to previous Verizon versions. I am using the ENG hboot, but it probably will never matter. Probably using stock hboot will eliminate the problem of people flashing the wrong hboot and screwing things up. Every OTA update or RUU probably installs the appropriate stock hboot to use. The only thing I have read about the ENG hboot gives us - is that it will act unlocked while it is locked.

As to radio firmware - why mess with it?

On the Droid-X I could switch between stock rooted GB, gummy AOSP, Kang's AOSP (AOKP), and CM9 simply by restoring my nandroid backups. With this HTC Rezound it is not so simple: Oh, with that version you need a different hboot, or and the radio needs to be changed, or.. Oh I forgot you need to use this boot.img ... oh wait be sure to never turn S-ON unless you are on a stock hboot - it's fatal....

In summary, yes it is all much more complicated. My current plans are to wait for the Verizon official ICS RUU file. I think I'll be happy with stock rooted ICS with Ramon recovery.

wasn't that fun?

Howard
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
You guys are making it more complicated than it is. Some of this is common sense, mixing and matching firmware never made sense to me . Only reason their are issues with the leak vs gb roms is the change in mount points.

Roms, always had different kernels just more apparent on the rezound because it was S-on..this should change with S-off now. Hboots, only matter if you have a specific reason to change. Otherwise, just ignore it :)
[HTC Rezound] derek4484:
Yea, The thing with the HBoots is, there's so many of them. I know it's just the bootloader but there's 2.05, 2.10, 2.11, 2.21 and I believe you have to use the right one with the right firmware. I'm guessing firmware is talking about the radio file? Seems you have to have the exact right hboot for the right firmware for the right rom.

Galaxy S we had two bootloaders, Froyo and GB. But then it was determined that the GB bootloader was the better one and supported Froyo, GB, and ICS. so no worries there. Obviously you had to have a GB kernel with GB ROM, and ICS kernel with ICS Rom, etc. But the modems were pretty interchangeable. We flashed international modems, Bell Canada modems, T-mobile modems, AT&T modems all to find which one gives the best down/up speeds and call quality.

You could flash anything you wanted from Clockworkmod recovery, just point it to the zip file on SD card and it did everything. It just seems much simpler than what I've experienced and read here. None of this locking/unlocking bootloader, doing wire tricks for S-OFF, having to flash one zip then reboot and flash a ph98 file and messing with commands in fastboot.

I flashed hundreds of different roms/kernels/modems on that phone.
[HTC Rezound] HowardZ:
tonight I am flashing back my stock gb hboot.

I don't see any advantages to using any other hboot, I only see complications and risks.
[HTC Rezound] scotty1223:
the biggest advantage to useing the patched hboots(or eng hboot) is if you are in the habit of using fastboot flash to install recoveries or splash screens,or use fastboot boot to launch recovery,and you do NOT want to unlock your stock hboot,killing your locked state for warranty.

the advantage of the patched hboots over the leaked eng hboot,is simply they are newer,and less likely to have small faults or bugs than the original leaked eng hboot.

if you dont care about the whole locked/unlocked drama,then the stock,unlocked hboot works fine. it gives you fastboot flash,and fastboot boot,and you can ota,or upgrade/downgrade without relocking and the stock hboot always stays unlocked,once you unlock it. i actually like how it works,alot. when i ruu,its unlocked and ready to go. just like the radio secure flag,it stays that way until you change it.

the other train of thot is to flash a patched hboot once,then protect it. dont flash anything that overwrites it. i personally am a fan of the "if it aint broke dont fix it,so dont mess with changing hboots unnecessarily" notion. theres nothing wrong with changing them if youre careful,but every time you do there is potential for error that could leave you with a bricked device,so keep it to as much a minimum as you can.

the only prollem with the above,is when a situation like we have seen from GB to ICS that requires a new hboot. in this case,the rom may not work correctly until a stock hboot is reflashed,and/or a new hboot is patched for the new software.

things are just as esily accomplished with the stock locked hboots. you can install reoveries,splash,firmware,etc. all with PH98IMG files,and if you get into the habit of running your PH98IMG files as RUUs on the PC, then you dont have to mess with loading/removing them from your sd card,just dump them into your fastboot/adb folder and: fastboot oem rebootRUU then fastboot flash zip <zipname>.zip and when its done, fastboot reboot .its quick and easy.

while its true the eng hboots will contain more commands that could help recover softbricked phones,when you are radio s-offed,you can always install an eng hboot later,if you need it. if your phone will still boot to hboot,you can install an eng hboot. and if it wont boot to hboot,youve got bigger prollems than that,anyway ;)

to recap:

if you dont know why you need an eng hboot,dont flash one,leave it stock,its no biggie :)

my 2 cents :)

Will these b updated for the new ics leak hboot 2.25.0000? Thanks

sent from my rooted & s-off htc rezound using Xparent ics tapatalk 2
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Yes. It will come when it comes. Whenever the JB S-OFF team gets around to it they will let me know to make a writeup here.
[HTC Rezound] scotty1223:
is it really needed? obviously there is a need for GB and ICS hboots,but since 2.05,2.10,and 2.11 seem to be compatible,the current jphboot is likely fine for the new ICS leak.

likely 2.25 is just a new version number,with no real differences from 2.21

but as was said,should the need arise one will be released.

[HTC Rezound] HarleyChick:
Okay, so I've read through the entire thread twice, and I'm still a little confused. I'm all ready to flash this hboot, but my one question is (and I know this is going to sound really stupid), how would I know if I'm on ENG hboot or not? I mean, when I go into hboot, after LOCKED, it says:

VIGOR PUT ENG S-OFF RL

HBOOT-2.11.2005

Since it has ENG does that mean I have the ENG hboot?
[HTC Rezound] shawnshawn90:
You got it baby
[HTC Rezound] HarleyChick:
Hey, thanks for the quick response!

Now I'm wondering how I ended up with that instead of just plain hboot. I guess it doesn't matter. Oh well, off to flash the fix!

[HTC Rezound] scotty1223:
we said this on page 6,let me post it here so you will have to read as little as possible ;)

to recap,2.25 is prolly just a version number, there is no need for a different ICS jpbear hboot
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Yes, they will let me know when they finish. Since 2.21 works on 2.25 firmware without issue there likely isn't much motivation. Plus, official OTA might come Wednesday so they might just wait and see if that is released and patch that one. However, I don't want to speak for them.

[HTC Rezound] JWhetstone02:
Ok. I have been reading and reading...picked up some good things here and there, but a simple question i need an answer to.

I am still running the GB firmware. I would like to update my firmware to the newest leak (05/08 or whichever is the newest). I ran the S-OFF procedure for GB firmware, I DID NOT take the hboot provided with JupuonutBear.

My HBOOT says:

*** UNLOCKED ***
VIGOR PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-2.11.0000

If I was to flash the newest leak, will that turn me back S-ON? If so, is this HBOOT the one I need in order to swap from old to new firmware and vice-versa?
[HTC Rezound] asianflavor:
You will not lose s-off if you update. It will update HBOOT to 2.25 but you can flash the Juopunutbear ICS HBOOT (2.21) afterwards.

Hey guys reading a post in regards to a user bricking their phone using that kernal and that rom version. can anyone confirm that the latest 3.1.2 of Siyah and Resurrection v1.5 are compatible?

Thank you

- Edit - I'm using now at the moment rc6 version of the siyah kernal and version 1.4 of Resurrection

Is there a specific upgrade step? for example if it does work, upgrade kernal first then rom? or rom then kernal? or update rom but leave Siyah kernal version
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Criminal23:
Yes, for you there is a spezial thing!

First of all flash the new siyah kernel WITHOUT ANY WIPE!

Then first reboot, and then you can Flash everything you want. Without any brick.

[HTC EVO 3D] 3ncrypt3d:
Finally I was able to get ViperRom flashed correctly or at least I things seemed that way. I wish it would have stayed that way because I just love this ROM. So anyway, I get it flashed and I flip on the 4g to see if I'm in business and from the looks of things I'm all good. I've got a solid 3 bars. So, I click it off to test the stability of my 3g. After downloading a few apps from the market and doing half a dozen speed test runs I see that Im getting less than half the dl speed I was getting on MeanROM. So, disappointed with that I flick back on the 4g to give things a whirl. Using the Speed Test app It takes an age for it to locate the closest server.Then finally after it gets an idea where I am I can't get a ping through to the test server. Ping status goes to 60%. and then fails altogether. So although my 4g reads 3 bars , my actual throughput is next to zero. So I've done a little looking around for a solution to this matter and suprisingly I haven't seen many posts around the net coming from people experiencing something similar. Those that can slightly relate suggest flashing different radios.This seems from what I've ready a nuisance of an issue to deal with and risky too especially for someone with HBOOT 1.5 S-ON. Anybody have any shadow of a guess why I seem to be experiencing these obnoxious networking issues? Am I stuck having to mess with that flashing radios business if I want to stay with ViperRom and have decent 3g and functional 4g as well. I sure would appreciate a suggestion here. I'd appreciate it tons.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] imadork8317:
So I dont have the proper tools to do this but maybe someone else does.

The GPS dongle is the same connector as the keyboard dock, however due to the gps housing it does not physically fit. But with with the right torx screwdriver it seems possible that it may be able to be disassembled and tested to see if it will work if you were to plug it into the keyboard dock.

Any theories out there on if this will work or not?

I plan to get a torx screwdriver tomorrow to test this out unless someone else has already tried?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TheWerewolf:
It might... the only problem I can think of is that the dock connects its USB port to the tablet through this connector and I'm willing to be the GPS in the dongle does the same. I'm not sure what would happen if two devices connected to the USB port on the tablet at the same time...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
someone has actually done this already and posted pix. BUT it doesnt work when its plugged into the dock 40 pin port. they are trying to pinpoint the reason as to why. could be possible the dock 40 pin is for power and charging tablet only. it may not have data connections pins in it. the other theory is that the gps dongle software is only pointed at the actual tablet 40 pin connector. so if you attach it to the dock, the prime recognizes. i was thinking maybe developers could modify or add another file path in the programming so dongle would work when plugged in either.

check out my gps dongle test thread. there are pix of it. my op pix exceeded bandwith and not showing up at the moment. but the person who originally posted up the opened dongle is in that thread. also person is in there who posted it wouldn't work on dock so far. Also check out Erusman gps and wifi thread. where he opened up his prime. i know they will be modding the dongle in there also.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] imadork8317:
Thanks demandarin, i will check those out.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] scrufy:
I'm also working on this. Its kind of interesting.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Coderedpl:
Not true, it must have data connection pins in it. Connect your charger cable to the dock with the prime attached to it and then connect it to your pc. Works the same way as if you were to connect it directly to the prime. That's what I do to transfer new ROMs, pictures and whatnot without the need to disconnect the prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
But power and data isn't going to account for all 40 pins is it? I still think that some pins are arranged differently between the Prime's port and the dock's. All the extra pins are going to be info for the keyboard and USB and everything. I doubt all the pins even make a connection on the dock's port because the dock isn't about to have a dock plugged into it. The dongle probably uses some of the same information pathways that the keyboard requires and doesn't even have in it's female port.
