I'm S-On, Rooted with Aomon-Ra stock with some bloat frozen.

I'm trying to relock my phone using "fastboot oem lock" but all I get is waiting for device. HOw can I get past this and get the OTA?
[HTC Rezound] ajftl:
Wait for the ota
[HTC Rezound] ajftl:
U need the android SDK or if u already have it u need USB drivers or just look for a tool kit
[HTC Rezound] wrarvoz:
Stupid question, but are you in fastboot? It should say "fastboot USB" or something like that.
[HTC Rezound] RLKirk:
Got my replacement today and check for update brings in a 4.7 mb update thats description reads something like to get your device ready for the Ice Cream Sandwich update. Don't think its the update itself but it does confirm it
[HTC Rezound] apophis9283:
Look to set this straight. Not everyone buys the phone for the damn software. I hate sense, I love HTCs hardware. So saying I dont understand why you buy a phone with sense and then complain, thats why.
[HTC Rezound] LOBBS:
Just curious why there are so many PRL versions in the screenshots I've seen. Mine came in OTA at 15109 but I've also seen 15130 and 15145.
[HTC Rezound] big_mike_2k6:
That's understandable but people can't be mad if we can't get aosp. Luckily we did but I'm just saying.
[HTC Rezound] apophis9283:
Yeah i agree, I just de-sense sense roms. Youre right, you cant be mad. Every time I buy a phone i go into the purchase fully knowing that I may have to deal with a de-sensed rom.
[HTC Rezound] big_mike_2k6:
Yeah definitely. Now that we have aosp its great because this great phone can be enjoyed by those who love and hate sense so its a good thing.
[HTC Rezound] zac41189:
Same here. I've got 15145 and have no idea why some are different. Google time.
[HTC Rezound] apophis9283:
maybe prl's are location based?
[HTC Rezound] con247:
accodring to a changlog somewhere they rolled back the browser version & fixed the guide videos. Then recompiled so the build.prop changes automatically.
[HTC Rezound] jtornone:
PRL versions will vary depending on the area you are in. When I was on the phone with my old X2 with reception problems with my network extender they were able to change it to see if it help with the connection. It didn't help though. I did get a free Rezound out of it though. :)
[HTC Rezound] darkkterror:
The PRL has nothing to do with the Android software itself. It is the Preferred Roaming List and it tells the phone what cell sites to use and which ones to prioritize (particularly cell sites outside of the home network for roaming purposes, hence the name). It can be different based on when the phone last updated the PRL and also based on where (physically) the phone is.

Does flashing the ruu wipe your ext sd card (micro sd)?

No, although my internal did. back it up just in case

Is anyone else having issues with the ota? I haven't had 4g since the update.

Edit: A factory reset took care of it.
[HTC Rezound] hchristy2013:
How do I get back ground notifications go away? Normally keeping background data off did it, now since the ota, I get constant notifications with background.data off

Sent from my ADR6425LVW
[HTC Rezound] apophis9283:
Then make sure you have stock recovery, go in and do a factory reset from within hboot. It will fix it
[HTC Rezound] AndroidCraig:
Thanks, that got me relocked. But now I am not seeing the ota push. I also can't boot into recovery (I have amon-ra). To flash a stock recovery.

Do I need stock recovery to flash the RUU?

I am totally frustrated at this point. I want my ICS.
[HTC Rezound] xrock80:
Very weird, but it took some doing to get mine going. The short of it is I was on 605.5 (Scott's ICS), Bootloader 2.11, un-locked, rooted, stock radios.

I had soft bricked the phone because I was trying to go back to stock GB using the RUU method, which wiped the phone but failed to load the system. At this point, I had no way to get into recovery or to data wipe. So, hoping it would work, I downloaded the 599MB PH98IMG.zip file.

After loading the .zip to the SD card, I had to go through the hBoot sequence twice to get all the files and system updated, moved the .zip off the root, go through recovery 3 times... 1st time, phone shut down and didn't restart, 2nd time it went to the red triangle ! screen, and I had to manually cycle the power (battery pull) to get back to recovery, 3rd time, phone power cycled and then it finally booted to ICS, everything updated.

All is now well.
[HTC Rezound] bjcoenen:
So i ran the RUU for ICS through the bootloader (i am s-off). After I booted into the stock OTA, I flashed my TWRP recovery and then restored my nandroid of NeoMax 1.6 i had made just before flashing the RUU. So my question is does restoring my nandroid I made before flashing the RUU wipe out my flash of the official ruu putting me back where i was before i flashed the latest ICS RUU? any clarification would be really great. I basically just wanted to get back to having my phone and rom set up how i liked it because i am so sick of doing it over and over again. Also, would restoring only certain parts of my nandroid in TWRP change anything? Thanks again for any help
[HTC Rezound] manbat:
========

If no one does .....I get home at midnight...I'll up load it then.
[HTC Rezound] kzoodroid:
Yes you are right back to where you were before you flashed the RUU. I'm not familar with TWRP but I thought restoring a nandroid was all or nothing, at least that's been my experience.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
I posted a media fire link on Page 3. Did ask the OP to add it since drop box limits downloads.
[HTC Rezound] AndroidCraig:
Just got back from VZW store and they are sending me a new Rez. They could not get the phone to do anything other than go into the bootloader. No Factory Reset, no recovery, just stock GB or bootloader.

SIGH...

I've tried the RUU flash to no avail either. It seems to start checking the PH98IMG.zip file and then goes back to bootloader menu.

Any Ideas?
[HTC Rezound] Hag77:
Pretty sure that's not accurate. For example, I was on the old ics leak from like 5 months ago or whatever. When I did the new ruu today it upgraded my radios, etc. Then I loaded back my nandroid backup of newts one xxx rom. I still have the new radios, so I'm not back to where I started..
[HTC Rezound] con247:
I got it from someone.
[HTC Rezound] altvisionx:
Just got s-off today (:D) so i can now go through and flash just the .img that i want now? is that how you install just radio, kernel, etc...?

Also coming from 3.14.605.10 firmware which files should be updated to OTA?
[HTC Rezound] apophis9283:
make sure its not a .zip inside of a .zip
[HTC Rezound] andrix10:
Does any one have the radios only? I dont want to flash the whole ota, just the radios and/or firmware
[HTC Rezound] HowardZ:
First thing to try is to delete or rename the PH98IMG.ZIP file from your micro sd card. Put the card in a pc to rename it. If your pc doesnt have a card reader, then just keep the card out of the phone for now. I don't think the bootloader can do anything if it sees this file. You may have a bad zip file, and the bootloader won't do anything but reboot or try to install the zip file.

I also suggest you install the stock gb recovery.

connect phone to pc via USB

download the stock recovery IMG file

http://db.tt/7X1BdpgR

flash the stock recovery IMG file using the correct fastboot command.

fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.IMG

fastboot reboot

the reboot command is important, don't skip it.
[HTC Rezound] AndroidCraig:
Thanks. Got it and Got ICS. YAY.....

How can I root this so I can restore my data and Apps from TiBackup?
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Boot into Amon Ra and select developer options, and click install su & SuperUser (NOT the eng one) then reboot, download TiBu, and restore! :D
[HTC Rezound] AndroidCraig:
Ok, I managed to get unlocked via the All-in-one toolkit. But when I try and flash AmonRa, I get the response that it wrote the recovery, but then when I try and get into recovery I just get the stock recovery.

It says Tampered above the Unlocked could this be a cause?

Is there another way of flashing AmonRa and SU?
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Yep
[HTC Rezound] ae1990:
You can flash using the all in one to kit orrrr after your flash among ra through fastboot run the fast boot reboot command and then reboot recovery
[HTC Rezound] roblopes:
This was an odd one. Even though HBOOT said S-ON, I still ran fastboot oem lock and got this message after:

c:\Users\rob\Downloads\android>fastboot oem lock

...

(bootloader) Lock successfully...

(bootloader) TZ_HTC_SVC_DISABLE ret = 134086000 (0x7FDFD70)

FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))

finished. total time: 0.937s

Then PH98DIAG.zip wrong image or invalid showed up again along with the PH98DIAG.nbh (can't read that small ext). The imaged continued (as you stated) and in pink the top line of HBOOT said RELOCKED.

Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] AndroidCraig:
Except when I try to flash Amon through the all in one it seems to fail, All in one issues the same commands doesn't it?

Is there any way of flashing superuser through stock recovery or do I need a custom recovery?
[HTC Rezound] giomasterg:
Ok. So my Fiance has a Rezound. Being the good guy that I am I offer to flash ICS on here for her no problem I think. I have flashed many roms and OTA's on my other phones.... Soo I download the RUU unzip the zip from the zip. Rename it put it on the SD card boot into bootloader it says loading [PH98IMP.zip] I have a little status bar on the right side of the screen, It fills up twice then nothing back to the bootloader screen. WHat am I doing wrong?:confused:
[HTC Rezound] AndroidCraig:
Another small victory... AmonRa recovery is now loaded and operational. But when I try and flash SU from within Amon, it says removing old SU, then stops.

I cannot seem to get Root to take. Su does not show up in the app drawer, and I am not sure what to do. On my old Charge I was able to flash a superuser.zip that I downloaded from the Superuser website. I was using CWM. Would it work on the Rez in AmonRa as well?
[HTC Rezound] Pucuck:
I used the superuser zip from that site and had no issues flashing on the ICS leak before. I think the problem is amon ra cant flash SU for ICS roms from that dev menu. It might have only worked with GB roms.

Correct me if I'm wrong.
[HTC Rezound] Pucuck:
Check the MD5 of the zip and double check to make sure it is on root of external sd and not internal. I think this might be your problem.
[HTC Rezound] taco_man:
I'm having the same problem. Bootloader seems to load it and then the phone just sits there. MD5 sum checks out fine, the zip file (699mb full of .img files) is named PH98IMG.zip and is on the root of the SD card. I'm unlocked bootloader, S-On, and have tried it with both Amon Ra and Stock recoveries. Booted to bootloader at least three times in each recovery, and every time the progress bar goes all the way to the top and then I just sit at the bootloader screen.
[HTC Rezound] Pucuck:
I think you need to relock your bootloader since you are s-on unlocked. This ruu only works for s-on locked/relocked and s-off.
[HTC Rezound] funnyangrykid:
Hope u are on Stock Rom as well.

[HTC Rezound] HowardZ:
I learned a few weeks ago that superuser.zip from the author's website doesn't work on HTC ics

http://androidsu.com/superuser/

I even tried the latest beta unsuccessfully. SuperUser is open source, and apparently there is a hacked version somewhere which will work, but I didn't know where to get it. Another possibility is that only old versions of SuperUser work on our phone. Well, if the SuperUser author is not supporting our phone anymore, then I'd rather use SuperSU instead.

So I downloaded SuperSU.zip instead and installed it using Ramon ra recovery

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053&highlight=supersu
[HTC Rezound] funnyangrykid:
Ok guys and gals.. Download and Flash thee Attached file thats provided to regain root access..Flash in AmonRa Recovery. you can also go back into the SU app and run an Update check.
[HTC Rezound] wrarvoz:
I know Amon Ra made rooting pretty easy, but from my personal experience, 90% of the time when a superuser flash fails, it's because I forgot to mount /system before the flash. I think the newest SU zips do that for you though.
[HTC Rezound] HowardZ:
Don't you know how old that version of SuperUser is?

If anyone uses it, then the Google play store will try to autoupdate it to the latest version. And then no more root because the author of SuperUser seems to have forgotten to support our phone. AUTOUPDATE WILL BREAK YOUR ROOT.

Every time I try to comment about the problem on the author's website, my comments never show up. censored!

So I think it is far better to use SuperSU and be able to get new operational versions from the Google play store.

But its your choice. you can use an old version of SuperUser as long as you never update to a newer version.

regards,

Howard
[HTC Rezound] funnyangrykid:
Well I've updated it perfectly fine without any problems.

Well, when I have time, I'll download the latest superuser zip file from the author's website and try it again. Perhaps he fixed it recently?
[HTC Rezound] JinxtPhoto:
Just did it last night, worked for me too
[HTC Rezound] chaos254:
The superuser.zip is not necessary if you flash a custom rom

Yes u are right but we flashed the OTA Ruu on this thread which took away Root.

[HTC Rezound] AndroidCraig:
I flashed the latest SU from the author's web site and it worked fine. Back rooted. :D and restored my TiBackup

Phone is back to normal.

Thanks everyone for the help.

This is fast. Boots from battery pull in about half the time of Gb.

I need to make a Nandroid backup too.

I wonder if the cln Rez they are sending is better than this? I'll have to update, root and reload and see which works better.

Now to try a couple of the ICS launchers.

I've been using Go launcher for ages and like it a lot.

Which is better Apex or Nova launcher?
[HTC Rezound] *Madmoose*:
So if people flashed the RUU and managed to get a recovery installed why can't you just flash the rooted version posted in the dev section?
[HTC Rezound] AndroidCraig:
Weird issue now... Phone can't see my micro sd card. It saw it earlier, but now it seems to think it is empty.
[HTC Rezound] funnyangrykid:
i had that same issue (even before installing SU).. in AmonRa, goto "Mounts" and "Mount /sdcard" then reboot.. hopefully that'll solve your issue.
[HTC Rezound] AndroidCraig:
Tried that to no avail. Both SD- Card and Ext_SdCard or what ever it's called. Still can't see it.
[HTC Rezound] funnyangrykid:
does your computer recognize and Mount the SDcard to see the contents of it via USB?
[HTC Rezound] zac41189:
Edit: nvm
[HTC Rezound] AndroidCraig:
No, it does not.
[HTC Rezound] funnyangrykid:
well assuming your sdcard is fine, it must be a problem with your phone not mounting it "Properly"..can you view the contents of your sdcard via AmonRa? if you can, then it must be an issue with the Rom itself.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
when you flashed the update, did it reboot and then continue flashing? I would flash the update again. The mount points changed in ICS from GB.
[HTC Rezound] Trooper Thorn:
Worse Battery Life

Is anybody else experiencing worse battery life than before the OTA? Mine drained from 100% to 84% in about 20 minutes of listening to downloaded music, not even a stream, which seems ridiculous to me (I have the extended battery). I did a factory reset to see if that helps, but I was wondering if anybody else had experienced a decrease in efficiency after the update.
[HTC Rezound] Grnlantern79:
I did in fact have faster battery drain right after flash but I flashed .10 leak like a month ago, took a few days to settle in and a factory reset soon after to clear up issue. The droid razr had similar issue and just required a factory reset to clear out cache. Then I rooted and uninstalled all bloat and **** I never use and I am back to same battery life to pre-flash. I do miss the power menu so I could put it on economy but nothing a custom kernel won't fix after source drops.
[HTC Rezound] bkhorn:
Has anyone with .10 received the .12 OTA upgrade? My wife's phone which was on GB received the ICS .12 update when it was released.
[HTC Rezound] rezokrazy22:
You cant be on a leak. You have to be on stock GB

That's what I was afraid of. Thanks.

rooted and ran ota

I was rooted, but not s-off'd, with some bloatware frozen. I stupidly ran the OTA. I'm now stuck with a white HTC screen that won't go away. Could anyone clue me in on what I need to do to fix this? Please.
[HTC Rezound] cslingerland:
Buy new phone
[HTC Rezound] carngeX:
Lolwut?

Does it still have stock recovery, or is AmonRa still on your phone?

I'd unlock again, flash AmonRa, and then just flash w/e ROM you want. Unless you want the OTA, then stay locked, get the PH98IMG.zip file (or w/e the file name is now), flash from bootloader, and you'll be OTA. Then unlock, flash AmonRa, flash superuser (or superSU), and you'd be stock rooted.
[HTC Rezound] dedfish:
I think it still has stock recovery. I think all I did was unlock it so I could disable the bloatware. Preferably, I'd like to have the OTA image and the ability to freeze or uninstall bloat that I just will never use. I'm not someone who wants to mess with ROMs, I just don't want to see all that crap on my phone.

When I boot to recovery I see:

***Unlocked ***

VIGOR PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-2.11.0000

eMMC-boot

So my goal at this point should be to re-lock it and figure out flashing of a PH98IMG.zip file?

Thank you for any assistance.

[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
you should be fine. Since its a newer version it will install, just rename to PH98IMG.zip and place on root of your sd card. Then boot into bootloader.
[HTC Rezound] Kawaiius:
when i boot into bootloader is loads up the PH98IMG.zip but doesnt ask me to update..it says parsing PH98IMG.zip for a second then goes back to the menu screen?
[HTC Rezound] ajv00:
Yes! That is what I'm doing exactly now. Im on the .10 leak. Hopefully this one will finally work with GSM..
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
if you downloaded from myself or the dropbox link, it was a zip inside a zip and has to be extracted first, then renamed to ph98img.zip.

I fixed my links after realizing this, but it was downloaded 6 times before that.
[HTC Rezound] Corki2:
Make sure your download isn't a zip within a zip. Some of the links that were posted for dropbox and Mediafire and you have to unzip the file and use the zip inside.
[HTC Rezound] carngeX:
For the download issues... I don't understand why nobody has just started up a seedbox for ROMs / updates and such for the community, instead of just uploading to other mirrors. IMO, torrenting would be a bit faster once a few people get it downloaded and just let it upload. And with a seedbox, you wouldn't have to worry about the download not having enough seeds... I mentioned this to TeamBAMF a few weeks back, and got a bit of response, but don't think anything got implemented. Plus, it's not like it's illegal, since the file is free anyway..
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
the mediafire links are fixed. MD5 verified with android police md5.

[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
not everyone torrents. Prefer not to have extra crap dragging down my computer. Mediafire has always been good to me and as far as I know, they don't restrict download speeds for free users.

edit, just logged out of my mediafire acct, opened a new browser, went to mediafire.com to make sure I wasn't still logged in, clicked on the download link I posted earlier and the file downloaded in about 3 minutes.
