[HTC Rezound] npainter7:
Last night I was able to unlock my bootloader on my rezound. And I installed Amon Ra recovery. I did a nand backup before I made any other choices from there. But I don't know if I was perm rooted. But I installed su and busybox. well I went ahead and installed Rom Manager just to start out with instead of using amon recovery.

Through rom manager I had to flash clockwork mod. did that. so I thought i was ready to go with flashing a ROM. well I downloaded a ROM through my phone. but it wasn't on my sd card. so i pulled the notifications down on my phone and just clicked the downloaded ROM and it said what would you like to do with it? I clicked the rom manager option. cleared dalvik and cache n all. Everything said installed successfully. well it just stayed on the htc screen FOREVER. so i pulled battery and tried to recover my backup. well now that i have clockwork as recovery. my backup isn't on my phone. I can't even use clockwork now. I can't get my phone to boot at all. I don't think my phone is bricked cuz I can get into the bootloader menu. But i can't get my phone to boot back up at all whatsoever

So I was either not rooted like I thought I was or something. I can't even factory reset through bootloader. it just takes me back to clockwork mod and everytime i click an option through cwm it goes blank. every single option. I need my amon recovery back somehow so i can restore my backup....please somebody help me out. I hope its not bricked. Thanks

You need to flash the boot.img from fast boot if you're not s-off
[HTC Rezound] npainter7:
and how am i able to do so??? I guess I'm still a noob with some things. just need a good step by step way of how lol

Edit: Ok I opened up a command prompt and typed in fastboot boot.img. then a whole bunch of stuff popped up. what do i do from there?
[HTC Rezound] kancherlapraneeth:
extract boot.img from your downloaded ROM. place it in folder on your PC where you have fastboot.

put the phone in fastboot mode and connect to PC , it shows fastboot usb.

issue below in command prompt

fastboot flash boot boot.img
[HTC Rezound] npainter7:
Ok i did this. and this is what popped up.

c:\Android>fastboot flash boot boot.img

sending 'boot' (3950 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.905s]

writing 'boot'...

OKAY [ 1.174s]

finished. total time: 2.082s

Now what???

Edit: Nevermind I got it to work now :) thank you SO MUCH you guys. much appreciated

@@#$$%#$% Freaking hell I am getting so frustrated with my phone!!! I am going through a continuous bootloop. I can't do anything in time on my phone before it bootloops again over and over. I installed one of newts one xxx ROMS and the continuous bootloop will not stop. I tried installing a different RUU and tried flashing using command prompt and nothing happened....I am so frustrated and have been trying to figure out this rooting stuff over 4 days now straight....I could really use some help!!!
[HTC Rezound] paulhoop:
Your firmware is probably still GB, Newt's is for ICS. There is a patch allows you to use his ROM on a GB firmware base. So, over on MikMIk possibly, is this patch you need. Flash it in recovery, just like you would a ROM.

Here found a helpful link, look at PRDOG's post. He rocks... Depending on which release of Newt's ROM you are on, he also has a RLS 3.2.1 which is also a patch. Sorry it is a little confusing. But stick with it. Lots of people to help you. You don't need to flash the 3.2.1 patch, just the GB one.

Hey thank you so much!! It's nice to have people help out....so when I flash the GB one, I don't have to relock my bootloader do I? I hope not lol
[HTC Rezound] npainter7:
So in order to flash a PH98IMG.zip what do I have to do? do i have to go into the command prompt and go from there?
[HTC Rezound] EvLNvRDyS:
NOOB Alert!!! Yes I can admit it, and at the same time I tried like hell to find my answer on these forums and now feel dumber than I did 5 minutes ago.

2 ics releases ago, I installed the 3.13.605.7 710RD build that did NOT require me to unlock my phone. Install went smoothly and I finally had ICS. I'm starting to notice that my "Data" connection drops constantly, which really sucks while trying to use apps like "Hey Tell". I am a total noob with phones, not with pc's, but with phones yes. Can someone please explain in "stupid person language" where I may have gone wrong? Do I need new radios? Was I supposed to flash some RUU? Can I go back to stock Gingerbread and pray that Verizon gets off their butts and pushes out an official ICS? I love ICS, but can't stand this data connection issue I have!!

Thanks in advance for your help and not being too pissed at my inability to find the answer first.
[HTC Rezound] Jimi Mack:
Data dropping is a common issue I have come across as well. First, I would research and the first thing I would do is get your Rezound S-off'd. As you read about it, it sounds scarier than it is, really. This will give you the ability to go from ICS to GB and install Roms very easy. I would also use the most recent 3.14.605.10 as your base, this is more than likely to be the OTA when it is released. Once you install this, I would do a reset in the boot loader this normally fixes data issues on a recent ICS installs.

Just take your time and read through things slowly and carefully, questions can always be answered.
[HTC Rezound] funnyangrykid:
if you decide to S-Off, heres what you need to know beforehand

1. Have your Phone Unlocked and on Stock Rom

2. Have SU installed

3. Have Sufficient length of Insulated wire (Preferably 22"Gauge)

4. Have a Fully Charged Battery before doing the S-Off Procedure.

more Info here at http://unlimited.io/

just scroll down and click the correct device for the S-off Procedure.

Note: when your all good and ready to proceed with S-off'ing, and are about to run "ControlBear" (<--windows program) dont do ANYTHING until it says "Do the trick NOW".. and remember.. READ READ READ.
[HTC Rezound] EvLNvRDyS:
Thank you both for the responses. Let me see if I got this right:

1. I'm not the only one who is having the dropped data issue on ICS?

2. In order to go back to Gingerbread (stock), I need to unlock the phone?

3. Stated I need a stock ROM (here is where i get stupid). I assume my ROM is stock as all I installed was the ICS in which I did not have to root the phone. Or did that install change my ROM as well?

Right now I really just want my phone to stop dropping data connection on me. And of course want to be able to get the official ICS update whenever the hell Verizon wants to finally release it.

I did download earlier today(what I thought to be gb RUU's) RUU_Vigor_WWE_2.01.605.11_Radio(and so on). I take it if I flash that to my phone it won't do what I want it to do?

I will certainly look into unlocking the phone, that stuff just scares me because I absolutely LOVE the rezound and don't want to break it.
[HTC Rezound] EvLNvRDyS:
Just a quick update, I'm downloading the latest ICS found in this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1703539

In the post it says to just flash it to your phone, I assume it's as simple as the last time I did it? Hold down "Power" and "Up Volume" and it should flash automatically? haven't seen yet if it says to be S-OFF or not, still reading as I download, and also post here.
[HTC Rezound] funnyangrykid:
1. Correct. you're not thee only one having data issues

2. yes and S-Off..

3. from what i've read in the post, yes you are on stock still.

RUUs Update Firmware/Software and radios on and only for Stock Rom.
[HTC Rezound] EvLNvRDyS:
Thank you once again. I just finished the download of ics 3.14, currently transferring that to phone and will do the update, hopefully (from what I read) it may help out with the data connection as well.
[HTC Rezound] funnyangrykid:
you dont need to be S-Off to flash RUUs but you DO have to be Locked.

Also if you're S-on, you CAN'T flash Previous RUUs. I.e: you can flash v3.14.605.10 but then you cannot flash previous versions such as v2.11.605.2 unless you're S-off.

Factory reset in hboot
[HTC Rezound] EvLNvRDyS:
Wasn't sure how to find master reset. But thank you. Gonna try the latest ics and see how that works.
[HTC Rezound] funnyangrykid:
get into hboot by powering off the phone, then holding VOLUME DOWN + POWER button simultaneously Untill bootloader boots up. then scroll down with the volume button and select "Factory Reset". to confirm selection, press POWER button, then select bootloader, and in the next menu select reboot (not "reboot bootloader")
[HTC Rezound] EvLNvRDyS:
Thanks for the responses. About a day later on the latest ICS and so far no data connection issues. I'm going to keep these responses in mind in case I decide to go back to gb, for now tho, gonna try to stick it out with ICS. Thanks once again.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PhxkinMassacre:
Just felt like sharing this because I find this very odd. Where I live I get about 1.3mbps which I thought was pretty damn fast for sprints 3g but right now I'm on a road trip with some friends and we stopped in Walcott Iowa and while still connected to the Chicago server in the speedtest app (closest server to my house) I just pulled 2+ mbps multiple times in literally the middle of nowhere haha fastest 3g I've had on sprint
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cruise350:
That's because 10,000 other phones weren't using speedtest at the same time. You were in the middle of nowhere!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] digiblur:
Rural towers where probably no one has sprint always work good. Or in many places Sprints edge of their coverage ends but on the past 8 years the city has moved outwards. And sprints network has not expanded like the other carriers.So the citizens don't use sprint in that area.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] RudyP:
I was driving through Fenton Louisiana on my way back to see my folks when I decided to do a speed test. I was shocked and saddened by the results (6/16). I rarely ever get anything better than 100kbps here in San Antonio. God I hope I'm in range when LTE kicks in!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PhxkinMassacre:
Juvenile giggle time, on 6/18 you got 69kbps haha. But back on topic, its weird getting like a decent speed on 3g and from what I've been hearing over at s4gru.com the 4g lte its stupid fast (in a good way) compared to the 3g speeds we are getting now. And then the network vision thing their doing should help with the 3g to eventually :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bayniner:
I've noticed a speed increase out here in the bay area as well were I live I would usually averagearound 150 to 300 kbps but over the past week or so my speeds have averaged from 500 to 800 kbps hopefully its a sign of good things to come

good day
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WoodroweBones:
Its not a great idea to take peoples random statements of battery life to heart. For example many people get this battery life by having data turned off either when the screen is off or completely until they need it. For myself that is not useful at all. I use my phone for work and many other things so having data is critical no matter what state my phone is in.

The only way to somewhat accurately compare battery life would be to have a baseline standard set but the problem there is that most people want to use their phones and not just watch it while you are testing the battery.

On ICS I was getting 2.5-3 hours screen time with about 16-18 hours uptime. Am on JB now (Android Rev 5.1) and have tried a few others... battery life is not as good likely due to the Google Now feature since its always telling me random things and seems to use GPS a whole lot. Havent yet tried with GPS turned off but again that is a simple thing that could affect battery life but there is no standard when comparing battery life. So someone could easily come on and say how JB made their battery last way longer but they have GPS off and dont use Google Now... hence the need for a standard baseline configuration for testing
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
I have real limited data so i turn it off till i need to use it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pazitp:
Hi,

I have a galaxy note with gingerbread, rocket rom (I don't understand much about roms, if necessary I can upload a screenshot of the "about" section).

I use the built in contacts app, and sync it with my gmail contacts, facebook contacts, and linkedin contacts.

I noticed that on the linkedin account, only the first 70 contacts out of 98 sync with the phone. Meaning that on the computer, I have 98 contacts on the linkedin web site, but on the phone I only see the first 70 (alphabetically), and the rest are simply missing. I have some of these contacts also on gmail and facebook, so I have the contacts on the phone, but it's like they don't have a linkedin account as well.

Tried removing the linkedin account, restarting the phone, and adding the account back but nothing changed.

Why does this happen?:confused:

Thanks!
