The Answer!

The short answer to your question is the last U ... Utility. There you go.

And, by the way, RUU's and flashable upgrades do not do the same things. A repeat flash of a flashable upgrade would be needed for that very reason. The EXE pushes and flashes and does things, etc. The flashable upgrade just flashes.

There are currently three, and only three, RUU's for the Rezound; none of them are for ICS:

http://www.filefactory.com/f/c2e320ee1d5c7886/

Anyway - I don't intend to argue facts, but I can leave you with something which can be easily determined by those in the know:

'If I flash this PHxxxxx.zip on my Gingerbread install, do I then have to run an 'old firmware patch' to get the right mounts? and

If there actually was a RUU for this leak, and I ran it, would I then have to run an 'old firmware patch' to get the right mounts?'

(Hint: Answer to the first question is YES, answer to the second question is NO. Boy I wish we actually did have a RUU).
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
OK so if the ICS ruu.exe isnt out how do you think we get the img file to flash???

http://www.4shared.com/file/DCi69XHl/RUU_Vigor_VERIZON_WWE_20160511.html

ruu doesnt mean just and exe. the reason why you need to run it twice. its because it always updates hboot first. every time that is updated you need to reboot the phone. the second pass is to move on.

so again. please show me a legitimate definition of RUU stating that it has to be an exe to be a RUU.
[HTC Rezound] DontPushButtons:
I don't mean to nitpick... But I will anyway..

So, not to waste a legitimate first post.. But how did this turn into an argument about the "official definition" of RUU? I understand that we all want to be right, but in this case I believe the OP was simply trying to remind people that when flashing an RUU (legitimately defined or not) file (file labeled RUU by a development community) that you need to do it twice.

That being said, thank you OP for your helpful reminder. I was just downloading the new OTA release candidate and probably would have forgotten.

Many thanks!
[HTC Rezound] superchilpil:
If I say go FLASH that ruu then you understand I mean a stock ph98img.zip

now if I say go RUN an ruu then it's understood that I mean go run the ruu.exe

It's all about word context.

And if your relying on that single word "utility" then I have to say that a PH98IMG.zip can be considered a utility. That just relies on definition and how loosely you apply a definition

Also what's the point in correcting 100s of people that use the term ruu because it's an easier way to say it anyway?

I'm not bashing anyone but if a term fits then why change it?

Everyone I used to know in school call things they liked "tight" but that never made sense to me
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
Not to derail this thread any more than needed, but...

Ever since my Evo 4G days, the PHXXIMG.ZIP file has all been an RUU. Back in that time, you couldn't even get an RUU as a .EXE it only came as a .ZIP

HTC Called it an RUU back then!

just sayin...
[HTC Rezound] Devildog8791:
RUUn Forest, RUUn!!
[HTC Rezound] GoldenCyn:
Also you guys should do a factory restore right after you do the RUU and before you flash the custom recovery. that should help to maintain a steady data connection, if not you will get intermediate data drops.
[HTC Rezound] jclendineng:
Thanks man. Absolutely right. We flash the ruu using leaked extracted ruus. Same exact thing being put in the phone only packaged in an easy to flash zip.
[HTC Rezound] MedleHed:
I think your post was fine until you finished it with an "Ugh." That was unnecessary. Also, I needed this post. I would have never thought to flash the file a second time.
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
RUU

YES! *THAT*4shared link is a RUU (i.e., an executable file). I really don't intend to debate the definition of the word, etc. RUU's and Flashable ROMs are two different things. One might contain the other, but that is the point; the RUU does more than a flashable ROM.

Unfortunately, that link is not a ICS RUU. We still do not seem to have one. If you ever do find the ICS leak in RUU, please post THAT link. Running the RUU will clear up any SD Card issues (without needing a firmware patch) which a flashable ROM will not. They are different. I don't know why this is still a debate; but I will end it (on my end anyway).

If ANYONE has a RUU of the ICS Leak (not simply a flashable file), please post it!
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
the PHXXIMG.ZIP files have been called RUU files long before HTC'd offered them in a .EXE

Evo 4G never had them in a .exe form in any case, they were always released by HTC as a .zip and HTC called them an RUU back then.

seems like I said this already...
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
You might have ... I can't believe I am responding again ...

Here are the RUU's (which are EXE files) for the Evo 4G

A RUU is a PC utility.

[HTC Rezound] Sheldor1967:
I am not sure why it says to flash twice. It ran twice on it's own. I didn't need to do anything...

Sent from the Mound of Rezound
[HTC Rezound] dogredwing1:
same ran once phone rebooted and work fine
[HTC Rezound] uToTMeH8:
They're saying that because the first leak didn't automatically reboot to complete the install. The latest one didn't have that issue for me. Just watch it and make sure it does boot into hboot again to finish the install
[HTC Rezound] yoderz:
When I updated to the most recent update (3.14) it only went through the update process once. All of the other ones I've done have gone through the first portion, and then rebooted back into hboot and ran the second portion. I'm S-OFF. Should it have gone through twice? It shows that my build is 3.14 in the about phone settings.
[HTC Rezound] uToTMeH8:
that's because you already had the new hboot
[HTC Rezound] spitzaf:
I started on 2.11 hboot and the RUU process took two rounds of installs, but I didn't have to start it twice. The install automatically restarted back where it left off.
[HTC Rezound] roosxter:
I thought radio update utility
[HTC Rezound] drt054:
I read somewhere it is Rom Upgrade Utility which mostly refers to the .exe format because it is an automated program as long as there is access to adb and fastboot.

I also went through some anxiety last night after I downgraded from 3.11 to 2.xx whatever I lost 4G and 3G at times. I thought same flashing twice will fix. But I forgot the step of the "clearing storage" from hboot. But I upgraded back to 3.14 and flashed once then rebooted right back into hboot and cleared storage and was back to normal :rolleyes:

It appears to run twice on its own only when changing hboot versions. The first time it doesn't go through a while cycle but after reboot it does to complete the entire cycle.
[HTC Rezound] wrarvoz:
Ok. Baseband version is the radios right? What should they be for the new leak? I don't think I flashed twice...

As an afterthought, is it ok if your second flash is a week after the first?
[HTC Rezound] Shiznit14:
I have to ask why you keep mentioning the firmware patch. Whether you run the ics .IMG or the upcoming ruu.exe to upgrade you firmware the mount points will STILL CHANGE... So after updating if you want to run a gb Rom instead of an ICS Rom you would have to use a patch..

I hope that made sense..

Is the rezound incapable of Line Out over usb?
[HTC Rezound] dpiddy14:
Only thing I have ever been able to do over USB on any android phone is mass storage. So if you have any songs on your device you can sync through USB mass storage and use the controls to select your song on your device. But to do anything streaming, you can't do it through USB. Also if your using it as a mass storage device I believe it only charges at .5A. Doing it this way you can charge at 1A and still use all your music services including beats audio.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] batting1000:
Not that we didn't already know this, but I figured it'd be something to post. Was chatting to a Sprint person (or robot, not sure) about the picture compressing issue (which he said he reset and would be fixed in about 15 minutes) and at the tail end, I asked when they would be releasing ICS for the Epic 4G Touch and he said "it will be releasing in the mid [middle] of the year", meaning this month or next month (probably this month).

Just thought I'd share, although it may or may not mean much.

(Mind you, I'm already aware of the official leaks from Samsung, but I was just curious.)

Looks like we'll be waiting till August unless this lady doesn't know what she's talking about.....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
I'd go with "that lady doesn't know what she's talking about"

Sprint customer service reps have very little knowledge regarding software releases.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] batting1000:
Yeah, lol. Just figured I'd ask though
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
The manager probably told everybody to say the software update is in August so when people likely get it a month or two early they cant complain.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
Exactly, under promise and over deliver, typical sales practice.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KBizzle:
I could deal with that too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MeWarning:
I'd rather have them do that than over promise which is what they usually did in the past.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] j_shelton1988:
I'm thinking official release may be June or July. The way these software releases usually go, sprint may have the final product by next week, but they will want to push their newest ics phones first, trying to get people to resign contracts and fork out some cash. Then the update is "conveniently" released after a month or 2 of new phone sales. Hopefully I'm wrong though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
Hope you're wrong. :D but whatever it comes when it comes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rujelus22:
If it does take until August then sprint needs some better techs. There would be no reason for a delay that long. The leaks we have now are 99% good to go, I could not image what would take them so long.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
completely agree with you. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Imaginos:
Remember, it IS a business. They have your money already and they definitely want to dangle the shiny new temptation in front of you for a while first. If you don't bite, fine.. Here's your update to ICS. Eventually. Cause we love you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
While I don't disagree with you (yes, it is a business); extended delay tactics run the risk of a mass exodus of people already on the verge (and there are more than a few), whereas offering us a little trinket (ICS release) not only retains those people but causes us to talk up Sprint and possibly bring others into the fold.

If someone is fed up with Sprint's delay in processing SW updates, why would they buy into another 2years and another expensive phone knowing that down the road they're likely to be just as aggravated with the lack of SW updates for it?

Sprint is hurting for money right now, and their network still lags behind the other big two (upgrades coming, don't hold your breath) so if they have any business acumen at all then they will release this upgrade, post haste (or as soon as it's viable for release) rather than dangle a carrot in front of us in the form of a *new for now* phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sjsharksfan420:
These both are pretty much what I expect too.. being g on sprint for many years and using a palm pre with webOS, that community also has a large homebrew presence and was also always looking for the update and guessing when it will get pushed, to whom first, and wondering what is holding it up once the expectation was past that it "should have been here already".

But I too think that once they have a nice chunk of new contracts for the latest devices, then they will start pushing out to us.. :)

You really said it right there. Yes, they are hurting for money. New phone sales = money + extending a contract. They want the best shot at that while keeping others on the hook. Not sure how much $ goes into rolling out new phones, but I'm willing to bet that is where they would rather invest vs. testing and doing an OTA upgrade.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] munkybeatz:
I agree with them hurting for money and wanting new phone/line sales. I've currently got a family plan with 4 lines through Sprint.

[HTC Sensation] sparx180:
Music player should be a partial wakelock I.e. using CPU to control and play music but not using screen. If your listening to music and lock your phone it will not sleep, if it did, chances are music player would stop. And also if you were on about audio out wakelock too, that's so the phone can play notification sounds and system sounds without waking up the screen I believe. So its probably ran alongside the music player to play music when locked. But as far as music player is concerned, any app capable of playing music with the screen off will use a wakelock to do so.
[HTC Sensation] geoffcorey:
Partial wake locks are not what you want to be concerned about (for the most part). At the top of betterbatterstats, change from partial wake locks to kernel wake locks. That's is what will be eating your battery.

Also,, es phone doesn't sleep when listening to music because decoding the song uses CPU. Like the guy above me said, if the phone slept, then there is no playback.
