Not sure if anyone has mentioned but thought i would throw it out there, wifi tether works on the newest leak in infrastructure mode. I set my profile to glaxy nexus lte Netd method and turned on routing fix and it started up with no errors and i'm connected to it with my tablet typing this. Stock rooted s-on unlocked.
[HTC Rezound] spitzaf:
I'm assuming you mean WiFi Tether app, not the native tethering capabilities? I would love not to need an app to do it.
[HTC Rezound] orcsbane13:
Yeah the WiFi tether app. I haven't tried messing with the stock one yet.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
can install kernel but not radios if still s-off.
[HTC Rezound] JinxtPhoto:
Who told you can't flash radios if you're s-off? The issue is once you flash radios you have to factory reset using stock recovery in order for them to function correctly. Might as well flash the PH image from the RUU zip.
[HTC Rezound] bik2101:
what are you talking about? factory reset in order for the flashed radios to work? that's not true
[HTC Rezound] XxCha0sxX:
Can you use this kernel on sense 4 roms?? Like PKMN?
[HTC Rezound] DontPushButtons:
Pkmn

In my experience, it sent my phone into a bootloop. I couldn've done something wrong, but it's a pretty simple process.

You can try it, but I recommend having a nandroid with your current kernel handy just in case.
[HTC Rezound] XxCha0sxX:
Thanks for the info :D
[HTC Rezound] dg4prez:
that, sir, is a falsehood.
[HTC Rezound] Ragnell:
anyone got a link to the last kernel and wifi fix? or what to search for?
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
The only way to get the new radios if you are s-on is to relock bootloader through adb, flash the full RUU (probably twice), probably a good idea to factory reset, then re-unlock the bootloader through adb...

All that for radios? No thank you.

[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Are you S-off.. if so just take the amon recovery img.. place it in your fastboot folder then boot phone into fastboot .. connect usb .. bring up command prompt.. type fastboot flash recovery recovery-ra-vigor-3.15-gnm.img

if your S-on.. need to unlock then perform same procedure. Otherwise, unlock and use ph98img file for amon ra.. that is floating around.
[HTC Rezound] Fergusonfox7:

[HTC Rezound] dragonrazorz:
I forgot....after updating the leak (im s off) can i just flash the previous rom i was on? Ex, rezrom ics?
[HTC Rezound] JinxtPhoto:
For some reason I thought he was still on stock GB and wanting to flash just the radio and kernel but that makes zero sense. There is a long thread on here with people running into 4g disconnect issues when they flash radios mismatched with the firmware version they are currently on. The fix is to do a factory reset in the bootloader with stock recovery installed. Didn't realize you could mix older leaked firmware with new radios without the reset fix. Guess that makes sense since all 3 leaks are ICS. I didn't risk it so I didn't know. Shouldn't have offered advice I didn't have personal experience with.
[HTC Rezound] dg4prez:
Yes, but don't do it that way. First of all, you can use a nandroid backup to restore. Just don't restore the boot image if you want the new kernel.

Second, if you like the rom you are on and have s-off, just flash the radio and kernel. Much quicker and easier. Won't require you to do anything to your rom, save for applying a patch for wifi in recovery, maybe. Read the thread in my sig for more info.
[HTC Rezound] cpurick:
It's the nonsense about doing a factory reset after flashing radios.
[HTC Rezound] bik2101:
not if you're flashing just the radios (only possible if you have s-off)
[HTC Rezound] JinxtPhoto:
I was wrong. You only have to do the factory reset if you flash radios from an ruu with a different hboot than the release you are on. The hboot stayed the same between the 5/2 leak and the current newest so flashing just the radios should work just fine. It didn't effect the .22 leak to the 5/2 leak because the 5/2 leak didn't have new radios in it.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
because I've barely had a day off in the last month??? I'll get around to it, but need some time in front of the pc to do it...

+1, I've waited this long as well to do s-off and firmware upgrades, I can wait and see if this goes down Wednesday. I'm still running the ICS roms with patches as well.

Edit: I am going to give s-off a try either today or tomorrow.
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
??

I am absolutely SOFF. I also am not experiencing problems with my SD card or overheating, or SMS, or the litany of other problems people who are running leaked ICS seem to have.

I fully intend to run anything Nils does, but I am still unsure why people need a patch (I know WHY they need a patch due to mount points; I am not sure WHY rom cookers are leaving out whatever piece is needed to not rely on a patch).

So I figure I will wait for the RUU (the executable file), and then move to Nils ... unless Nils has everything in it so that no patch is needed ... this is what I don't know.
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
For sure, and I was on GB firmware for quite a while. Until I realized I was just making more work for myself.

---------- Post added at 07:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:27 PM ----------

Because the ROM cookers can't package it that way.

Why do you need the executable? There's functionally no difference except in very particular circumstances.
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
I've been running ICS since it was leaked a while ago and haven't had any of those problems. Well the MMS problem still exists in some ROMs but I use GoSMS by default anyway so it doesn't matter to me.

If you're S-Off jdmba then why are you waiting? If you don't like it you can easily go back to what you currently have.
[HTC Rezound] mentallo:
I'm with you !
[HTC Rezound] maniac2k:
Man.... I just ran the 3.13 ruu this morning. I love it!
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
RUU

Because the RUU (the executable) *IS* packaged in a way to push everything nice clean and properly, the way that you indicated above the PHxxxx.zip is not.
[HTC Rezound] Nic2112:
I don't think this is true, the update file installs things nicely.
[HTC Rezound] jskolm:
That is incorrect. the PMG file does the same thing. There is no need to wait for the EXE version of the file unless you want to only use official firmware.
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
Which is why Verizon/HTC releases exes as OTAs? As I said, there are very particular circumstances where the RUU will fix problems the PH98IMG can't, but more than likely that's not your circumstances.
[HTC Rezound] Nic2112:
All that being said, installing this leak means radios, firmware, kernel all get updated but since this is straight from verizon, root will be lost is that correct?

I do have S-OFF by the way.
[HTC Rezound] :
so does anyone have this running yet? any noticeable differences?
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
Welp

I should have included that in my prior quote.

The base question remains ... WHY does a PHxxx.zip require a "new firmware patch" for those still on GB (yes, we know that the mount point changed; but why are the rom cookers unable to deal with this).

One must assume that when a real RUU (which means an executable file on the PC) will be able to change the mount points, because it is unlikely VZW will require a 'new firmware patch'.
[HTC Rezound] Nic2112:
I think the only thing major is the ability to set lockscreen shortcuts that are different than your regular shortcuts. This is something I think I'll use because I use folders a lot of my home screen, but it would be nice to have single apps on the lockscreen like camera, sms, etc...
[HTC Rezound] scubasteve85:
The exe and zip push the same exact thing. They are just 2 different methods to accomplish the same goal.
[HTC Rezound] DaveG1968:
Ok, this may be a stupid question, but I'm gonna ask anyway. Lol!

I've stayed on GB because I didn't want to pull the trigger yet on any of the leaks because I have stock setup the way I like it and don't wanna have to do it all over again.

My question is if I run the latest RUU and don't like it for whatever reason, can I just restore my current nandroid to get everything back, including radios and such? Or do I have to RUU back to stock GB and then restore my nandroid?

And yes, I'm S-Off.
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
RUU back then restore.
[HTC Rezound] billybob275:
I wonder if the "Hidden Menu" settings can be accessed another way? I only spend a handful of hours a week in 4G territory. I like being able to only go to 3G the rest of the time just to save some battery.
[HTC Rezound] jskolm:
Dude, I don't think you understand. Using a Ph file does NOT require a 'new firmware patch'. NOT using the Ph file like you are doing requires the use of the patch because you are REFUSING to update to the new layout. ROM cookers are making their ROM based on the new leak and new layout so that those of use that have updated can run the ROMS the way they are meant to be ran. They then release the patch file so that those of you who refuse to update can also run their ROMS. So they are actually doing you a favor.
[HTC Rezound] rileyd5:
Would he have to RUU back, then install Amon (if that is what he was using) to restore a nandroid? thanks.
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
Why

Why can't you open this zip file in Windows? The MD5 is right, but Windows says the zip file is invalid.

Are you using 7zip or that joke of an archive manager that is part of windows?
[HTC Rezound] IrvChynaman:
anyone having issues with superuser on antp121's stock rooted rom? Superuser wont request root for any application that requires it.

[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
as long as you have the su binary in the /system/xbin directory, try this:

1) clear data for superuser app

2) uninstall superuser

3) reboot recovery - clear cache

4) reboot ROM - re-download Superuser from market.

This worked for me.

Use Scott's build.

---------- Post added at 10:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 PM ----------

You can't downgrade hboot/radios/etc without being s-off.
[HTC Rezound] madjokeer:
i read in another thread -> install a RUU (complete rom) and boot into the regular recovery (not Amon Ra, etc) and factory reset your device and then reboot and begin installing other recoveries, roms, etc like normal
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
Either go to Scott's from or flash the su binary on a post in my thread. I highly recommend Scott's build though. Its better. Btw it helps if you read the OP. Just sayin
[HTC Rezound] blacksmithjim:
I'm still stock and I have been getting 1x alot lately too. Maybe its the network and not the leak.
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
Bad flash? Dust in the back cover blocking 4g? Idk. Did you match up md5 sums before flashing?
[HTC Rezound] edjm711:
I'll have to look into it. My girlfriend has a stock rezound I can check this weekend when we are together.
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
If your s-off then yes. If not then you can't . Its still downgrading.
[HTC Rezound] edjm711:
I'm not s off. Guess I have to wait for a newer build. :/
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
I'd s-off in the event a newer build kills the exploit... Most likely it won't but you never know.
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
Yeah, s-off is great. You should do it. Its totally worth it.
[HTC Rezound] edjm711:
This is actually the first phone of six I didn't root. I guess I'm intimidated about the s-off method for the rezound. Looks like a lot of hardware tinkering that I've never done before. Usually just connect to a computer.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
You still hook it up to a computer, you just need to short out a contact too, it's easy to do.
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
Its easier then it looks. I've done it twice, once on gb once on ics and they both worked flawlessly. And all you have to do is run a command if you want s-on again.
[HTC Rezound] edjm711:
Doesn't seem too bad. If I get stuck on this leak that will be in my future for certain, as long as I can still unlock the leak at htcdev
[HTC Rezound] Ragnell:

[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
Look in post 3 of Nils ICS business Sense. He has the radios and how to flash them if you are s-off.
[HTC Rezound] vcmstone:
Quick question: After completing S-Off, I had to run the GB RUU in order to get my data working correctly and consistently. So I decided to stay on stock GB until the OTA came out. Since it didn't come out yesterday, I want to flash this leak. If I didn't like it, and I use the GB RUU to revert back to the previous software, does it downgrade my radios and hboot too? I know everyone is saying that if you have s-off, you have nothing to worry about, but I want to make sure that I know what risks I am taking.

Also, I know that you should run the leak 2 or 3 times to make sure that it gets installed correctly. I renamed the file PH98IMG.zip and have it on the root of my SD. I know once I boot into bootloader, it will prompt me to install. Once the first installation is done and it asks if I want to reboot, do I choose no so I can have it flashed again? Or do I boot into the phone, shut down and flash again? Just want to make sure. I've never run a leak before.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Running the GB RUU will downgrade everything if you're s-off.

You need to run through the leak install twice, the first time it updates the firmware, second pass it installs the OS. Personally since you're s-off, I'd recommend you install the firmware/radio's separately and then install Scott's rooted version of the leak.
[HTC Rezound] roosxter:
Yes you revert back to old firmware, radios, etc. After I run ruu, it says hit power,do it then my phone doesn't reboot, it just turns off, push volume down and power again, run it again
[HTC Rezound] Ragnell:
But I'm not S-Off, I guess I should if it's the easiest way...Oh boy ;_;
[HTC Rezound] vcmstone:
Thanks guys.

mjones73, I was thinking about doing that, but I want to run stock for awhile to make sure I like the build. If I do, I'll install RA, root and go from there. If I don't like it though, I'll just RUU back to GB and wait for the OTA.

roosxter, thanks for the update on what I should expect. At least I know what to look for.
[HTC Rezound] WookieFan:
Great to have this. Will flash in a bit. Does it include the 2.21 hboot or do I flash that separately?
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
I would advise you to use Scotts instead. It's debloated and deodexed better.
[HTC Rezound] WookieFan:
Here's the thing I am not clear about. I tried your deodexed as a PH98IMG and it was a no-go. Do I have to run the signed RUU first to get the firmware and then flash a rooted ROM?

Just trying to upgrade my firmware after just getting s-off.
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
Mine is a rom. It's mostly to test out the new kernel. It is NOT the full RUU. You must flash my rom in recovery. I used it AFTER flashing the RUU.
[HTC Rezound] WookieFan:
Thanks - got it figured out. LOL, after two days. I was trying to upgrade to the latest firmware and then try out the leak (rooted). Appreciate your efforts anyway!
[HTC Rezound] BeringBullet:

[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
If you're s-off you can flash the firmware/radios separately without having to go through the whole leak.

You want "DOWNLOAD 5/7 ICS LEAK stock 2.25 hboot"

Rename it PH98IMG.zip, put it on the root of your SD card and flash it via the bootloader. It does wipe your internal SD, back that up first.

Once that's done you can go ahead and install the rooted version of the rom.
[HTC Rezound] WookieFan:
I ended up flashing the whole leak. Tried to root it with no success using all available recoveries except TRWP.

Then tried to flash back a CR4.5 nandroid (GB firmware) which succeeded but wouldn't mount internal or SD storage. Ugh. But I did this just to see what would happen.

So now I am running Scott's stock rooted 3.14 leak and have things pretty much back to normal.

This firmware thing is killing me. Seems like we should have a sticky with the leaks and firmwares combined in one thread for download. Obviously 3.14 has no RUU exe, but a collection listing pros and cons would be nice.

I am guessing that to go back to a previous nandroid, I am going to have to flash the GB firmware first, then the patch if I am recovering an ICS nandroid, and then the nandroid itself. Or is there a way to do it using PH98IMG.zip?

Currently on the jbear 2.21 hboot.
[HTC Rezound] mikion123:
This leak is very good
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
If you were restoring an ICS rom that was running on the GB firmware, you need to "unpatch it" to make it work with the ICS firmware, no need to flash any firmware back.

Just flash the New Firmware Patch after your nandroid restore, it's in the link I posted.

I've checked to make sure it's not named .zip.zip, and that's not the case

[HTC Rezound] texascbx:
I got it to work. I don't know why they keep telling people to rename it to zip. It must have IMG at the end. It will automatically install then. I installed it twice too like some said to do. It's working great on my unrooted stock Rezound.

Maybe it's an insider joke to rename it to zip, I don't know. Just do what I said and it will work. Put the file on your micro sd card. I took mine out of the phone and put it in a card reader to put the file on the root of the card. Then renamed it with IMG as the end instead of zip. Put card back in, hold down volume while hitting the start up button on the top and it goes off to do it's thing. Took about five minutes for the first time and the same for the second time.
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
Actually it is named PH98IMG.zip. In Windows, if the file extention is common, it hides the extention and puts up an icon of it instead. Go look at any Word, Excel, or Powerpoint document you have on you computed. You will see no extention. So when you renamed it to PH98IMG.zip, you where actually renaming it to PH98IMG.zip.zip.
[HTC Rezound] MedleHed:
It's no insider joke. The default setting for Windows is to hide the extensions for known file types. Your computer hid the .zip file extension and fooled you into naming the file PH98IMG.zip.zip and your update failed because of it.
[HTC Rezound] ROB281:

PS: I did install the entire package because i was having trouble with 4G working on Scotts Clean Rom
[HTC Rezound] con247:
The newest cleanrom is rebased on this. Scott also posted a stock rooted version before I was able to post mine. Therefore, it was pointless to have several floating around.

We get our ph98img from the exe. We rub the exe and the ph98img is extracted to a temp directory and is pushed onto your phone. There is no difference in what's better. The ph98 file just makes things faster and no pc needed
