Ok thanks. I think I found a good amount of info to do this but I was still wondering about the CWM so thanks for that. It just took me a long time to find all the info I needed to feel confident to do this. So many different links!
[HTC Rezound] marblesmike:
This guide really helped me out! I just got the Rezound a couple days ago. I have installed CleanRom pro and am now restoring all my backed up apps/data from my Droid X---and here's the best part: I've not even activated my Rezound yet :-)
[HTC Rezound] ntrnlerror9:
:)

i wish i had found this when i first started out, though i did have other forums for help so i never had a panic attack, it was pretty simple for me to root my rezound, i can follow instructions!! ... i just have to find them,

ps i cant find the thanx button... lol

Apart from modding, I'm trying to return this phone back to stock. I've placing the RUU file in the root of the SD card and renaming with bootloader locked and unlocked. It just scans the PH98 zip file then continues on. This is for all the stock RUU file, GB and ics. What am I doing wrong?

Great write up, much appreciated. My Rezound isnt even here in the mail yet and Ive read this thread several times. Big learning curve coming from the Fascinate and CWM, but made much easier by your detailed explanation.
[HTC Rezound] TUDrewser:
I thought I already knew all this. I didn't. You definitely filled in gaps, so thank you! Very, very nice write-up.
[HTC Rezound] Gig103:
Thanks for the writeup! I'm picking up my Rezound in about half an hour so I've read this once, and will be reading again soon!

Although, if nobody minds answering my noob question, without S-OFF, does that mean I do not have permanent root? Is there even a temporary root with the Rezound?
[HTC Rezound] SR3TLAW:
How can I donate to you? This is what ive been looking for now for a while.

Thanks again man
[HTC Rezound] LOBBS:
I guess I'll make this my first post. I'd like to thank the OP and all the contributors to this thread. This is an awesome jumping off point for a noob like myself. My wife and I made the switch to Android with a pair of Rezounds this spring. Love the phone (obviously chose it over the Razr and Nexus). I've been patiently waiting for the OTA update to ICS but that is wearing thin.

I'm not a complete noob to the concept of modding having been involved with forums modding EA's last version of Madden for the PC. Different file types, a lot of the same ideas. I became fairly proficient with Photoshop and Xara in my time there. I'd post some screenshots of my work but noobs evidently can't link here for awhile.

I'm basically looking at getting to the most recent version of ICS, maybe some reliable settings updates, and building some themes of my own.

Anyways thanks again for an excellent post on how to get started in this field.
[HTC Rezound] jay_em113:
This was an extremely helpful thread. Thanks for the write up!
[HTC Rezound] steventrev:
Thanks a bunch for this.

Just to see if I got this correct:

Is the ever pending ICS OTA a signed RUU which will include an updated radio (1.22.10.x), kernel (3.xx), and sense rom (4.0)?
[HTC Rezound] redbean25:
It will be Sense 3.6, no Sense 4.0 OTA for the Rezound. But yes, it will be a signed RUU with updated radios/kernal/sense 3.6.

Any tips on the wire trick? I tried it last night and failed. I think it might have been the wire I was using. I'm going to try again tonight if I can, but tips would be appreciated.
[HTC Rezound] gfrrt:
Thanks for this post. Awesome starting point. Let the flashing and crashing begin. :cool:
[HTC Rezound] gfrrt:
really know if I have any tips cuz I'm new to all this but I did it two days ago and it took me multiple attempts at this. I was thinking wrong wire too. But after a while doing it over and over, I turn it over and it was off. Lol. Thought o crap! But waited a few seconds then it booted up (twice). Then I started breathing again. Saw where many get it on first try. I wasn't that lucky. But anyway good luck.
[HTC Rezound] cali4nia831:
I used a paperclip wrapped in electrical tape. It took me about an hour and a lot of patience to do it. Make sure that the wire/paperclip is firmly pressed inside the pin and when u touch the ground with the other side, do so lightly and quickly as i found myself twitching my hand ever so slightly to the point where i would think i only touched the ground once but the phone and controlbear registered it as two!

Just keep at it and you'll get it eventually.
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
Thanks. I finally got it last night using a piece of coax. Twisted pair was just not working for me, but I got it second try with the coax.

HTC Rezound - newbie wanting to mod

Okay, so...here goes..

I have the HTC Rezound with the latest firmware OTA from Verizon.

I am so tired of the slow, slow crawl of this phone and the rapid battery drain.

I think I am ready to root the phone and get rid of Sense.

I have the Nexus7 tablet as my main tablet and LOVE the software on it!

Where do I start?

K:p
[HTC Rezound] Uzephi:
HTCdev unlock

Install recovery

Install ROM

Fast boot flash boot.IMG or custom kernel

Profit...

That is the way I did my phone when I got it. Still S-on (too busy to deal with a wire and linux ATM, may sometime in the future)
[HTC Rezound] peakcomp:
I understand unlocking the device from HTC, the Recovery Image and flashing...but, as far as a "ROM" is concerned...I have a Nexus7 with Stock Android 4.3 and LOVE it!

I sort of want Cyanogen Mod only because it is so popular and seems stable but isn't available from what I can tell for the Rezound.

Where or what ROM would you recommend for my Rezound that is Android 4.3 or "Jelly Bean" stock without this Sense stuff? :)

Thank you for all the info!

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
I love the feel of this phone without a case on it. rather than a case are those skins like bodyguardz or whatever they are called just as effective?

What do I look for and how much can I expect to spend?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] equlizer:
I dont believe a skin would "cut it". IF you want some protection, get a soft or hard rubber case. Im sporting the hard rubber clear blue now till otterbox gets here end of month.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] BoostedSR20:
I had a Ghost Armor skin on my Gnex the entire time I owned it, worked perfectly.

Its great for preventing scratches or scuffs. Drops? Ehh.. ? Although I have seen friends drop phones w/cases and still break em so?

It also adds more grip, just like a case would, but no extra bulk.

Sadly Ghost Armor has nothing for the One series yet... here are some pics of what I had on the Gnex.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
I emailed Ghost Armor to ask them if they had plans for the HOX. I haven't heard back yet
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] BoostedSR20:
haha I did that a few days before the AT&T one was shipped out, never heard back either.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Bigjim1488:
Ghost armor is great. A kiosk just opened up in the mall near me. I sure hope they get their skins soon
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] craig@xatik:
I bought a full body Zagg protector (only covers the screen and back) and I'm happy with it.

Will I buy a case?? Probably not. I don't want to cover the phone and make it even bulkier.

Am I worried about dropping it? Of course but I did a great job without dropping my captivate so I'm pretty confident I won't have issues with only a zagg protector on the HTC One X.

It cost about $30 at ATT.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Pumpiron579:
That is what I am using also, works well

Any way you can post a picture of the back, I had these on my 3GS but not my inspire... how does it work with the curve of the phone, the corner and the HTC logo on the back.. any issues with not sticking right or anything?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] fupresti:
Here is the back of mine with the Zagg Invisible Shield installed. Had to work the corners down with a dry rag during installation but it fits perfectly.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Sam3gX:
Why wait for Ghost Armor? I just received my BestSkinsEver skin and it covers the whole phone (screen, back and sides w/ no orange peel) and it's cheaper! The invisibleSHIELD only covers the front and the back, no sides. It cost me $8.99 (full body) with $2 shipping... only thing is you have to make your own solution and it comes in an envelope (no box like others).
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] methodz:
More pics of your Zagg dude! I want to see how far it covers the sides. Does it go all the way up to the glossy part of the sides?

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] lilhyper:
Got my XOskins carbon fiber back today. Looks beautiful and it fits the AT&T HOX perfectly. Looks very secure and will definitely protect the back from scratches. It has cutouts for the camera/flash, the pins, and the HTC logo. All the cutouts are very precise and fits well.

It comes as a dry apply like a sticker, thin enough that it doesn't interfere w/ cases. It doesn't bubble much and is pretty easy to install. I had to reposition multiple times during my install and that did not affect the stickiness of the sticker side. Installed well w/o bubbles.

it seems that your phone has a harware problem. The best way is to bring it to the next nearest service.

hi, I tried and it will start in download mode, but it isn't detected by the computer. so i cant seem to get root. odin just keeps asking to connect phone. i am running kies and it doesn't see the phone. I tried the recovery button sequence and it reboots the phone to home screen.is (recovery and downloading) states the same, or are they different. i'm new to all this so i'm not sure.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kimtyson:
There seems to be confusion about posting ROMs in General or Developers section. I just reported a post and fjasked that a "stock" ROM be moved from the Dev section to the General section because recently another Stock ROM was in fact moved with the reason that all stock ROMs belong in General. The response to my report was "this is a tough call I ll move it but it could stay in dev". So, that is a very non-committal answer from a mod. In addition, this post, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1184817, is an example of previous guidance on the subject. It clearly states that the Dev section is "only meant for very advanced technical discussion directly related to ROM development activity and the delivery of actual ROMs and ROM components ONLY". I would agree with this guidance. Can we stop differentiating between stock and no-stock ROMs and place ALL ROMs in the Dev section, as stated in the above guidance? Thank you for you work and time. XDA is a great place. I am not whining or complaining. I am merely asking for clarification of this issue so we can move on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] andrawer:
sec

um, your "question" for clarification belongs in the Q section. Not General.

Also, reading the Dev section I think it is pretty clear that it is for rom development only.

Stock roms aren't development...in this case it's a link to a leaked rom. that's it...doesn't belong in development.

So, if the Mod moved it to General it was done correctly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] esincho:
I been on here for some time across at least 6 phones, and I've never heard of such or seen this done.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] appdroid:
It should be like how normal 90% of XDA works!

ROM/Kernels in Dev no matter if its stock or custom! That's it no argument! I had only three phone couple of tablets but whatever forum i went to. THis is the theory they followed! Very simple idk what's big deal about it! IDK why this ppl don't like that!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kimtyson:
Your first sentence made me lol. You're right but I thought maybe since it was asking about the General then it could go in the General. Maybe it will be moved. Whatever.

Your second point is the crux of my question. If you read the guidance that I referenced it does not discriminate against stock ROMs. All ROMs are development, as are all kernels and other code. Code can be developed, whether it is stock code or other. Or at least that what I think.

I am anxious to see what the Moderators have to say. They have been very quiet on this issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] roloracer:
+1

I agree with you, I've been here a while , thru a span of of six devices forums myself also(htc excalibur-tmo dash/htc tilt-kaiser/htc fuze-raphael/the first android OG "htc dream-Tmobile G1"/htc leo/hd2) and now here and all roms have always been in the rom development section, even stock roms that serve as base for custom roms are part of development .:cool:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 21productionz:
I have been frequenting this site since my PPC6600 and all ROMs official or otherwise have been in a development section of some type. That goes back 5 + years (a very long time in tech years)

I don't know if that means anything to anyone, but us old guys don't like change =P.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] appdroid:
Yes that's what i m saying! We get used to it! Plus its the only one place to look for stock or custom! no need to poop all over the place! Common sense!:eek:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SayWhat10:
well guess i'll add my 2 cents too

ive been on XDA since Celluar One....., and all roms of any sort have always been in the development section that ive seen...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MrJoran:
From ***Development Only Here - All Others Will Be Locked/Deleted!*** stickied at the top of the Development forum.

Stock ROMs belong in General according to the rules. Not sure if they are enforced or not though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Radukk:
I dunno why they changed the rule. Is it specific for AT&T Galaxy Note or in general? Because at least Captivate/i9000/i9100 section have 'stock ROM list' sticky on development section.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] esincho:
Madness.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] appdroid:
Even a mod agrees with us! We need to change this and put back all the stock stuff in dev section!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 21productionz:
Well according to those rules questions belong in general. Obviously it needs to be updated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Tomdg07:
But is a "leaked" Rom to be considered stock? Phones don't ship with them....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MrJoran:
Leaked ROMs are still not something you made thus you aren't developing them, thus why would the go in development? I understand why people would want to put them there, but according to the rules, its not where they belong.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] appdroid:
I really can't stand this! IF you really want to get this changed plz comment and let me know! Because i just don't like how this is going!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Tomdg07:
Lol, my vote would ba a mod (or eager poster) should compile one sticky of all stock and leaked roms into one sticky which can be posted at the top of the development section.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] babyfacedkayos:
ACTUALLY

ACTUALLY, this post doesn't belong in Q&A...

It belongs in the MAIN GENERAL section... I'm just saying...

LOL

but yeah, the idea is stupid. they should change the rules...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cgibsong002:
Lol, who the hell cares? Just post it in one of the two and if a mod feels like moving it, let him. Personally I think any rom of any type should all go in one section so they're easy to find... but I'm not gonna cry about it if the mod wants it in general.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skezza:
Hey guys,

So when I plug in the I9000 i'm greeted by that annoying USB port (once ive quit every activity) and some ****e about clicking the home button closing it. Great, it's a right pain in the backside.

Would it be totally impossible to load the MTP application from the S2 on the S1? The reasons are:

It's much quicker as it doesn't require you to leave the front activity.

it doesn't render your phone unusable while connected... As in, it doesn't leave a big stupid looking USB port on your screen with some crap about Kies or Media Mode and how pressing the middle button will kill it.

and most importantly, it's compatible with my car stereo hahah :D while MTP on my I9000 is totally useless and incompatible with my car so I have to switch USB mode.

Is it completely impossible?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorxd:
CM9 supports it. Altough you need to edit some config file I think.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skezza:
So there is no way I could somehow drop the MTP Application from the S2 on the S1? It's so disappointing that I'm having to look at other ROMs for something as trivial as this. My old Nokia 5800 could bloody do this. I swear that my old INQ1 could do this too. Yet, an S1, one of Samsung's flagship phones less than 2 years ago, is unable to handle MTP and normal processing simultaneously. New firmware it is then. Looking at ICS roms right now.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Gotta be a resolution problem. If the bootanimation is made for 800x480 it won't fill the 720P screen.

I think you need adobe software for that

I'm always on!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rattking:
The quick and dirty way. Open the .zip and edit the file desc.txt the first line is resolution and frame rate. I believe if you change it to 720 1280 24 the phones software will scale it for you. Then re make the zip file being sure to use store only no compression on the zip.

The higher quality way is to find the jpg or png images in 720 resolution so there is no scaling.

Also there are plenty of free image resizing programs out there. No need to pay for Adobe for something so simple. I use image magick

Good luck!
