orry if im being a pain, is there a good step by step how to to do this?
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Yeah you quoted it in your post. It's really that simple.

And you're not a pain

Here's a couple links to some tutorials (just ignore the part where it says to download them from x source and use the one I have in post #3): http://www.freeyourandroid.com/guide/flashing-ruu-htc , http://forums.androidcentral.com/rezound-rooting-roms-hacks/172783-how-flash-leaked-ruu.html

Make sure your bootloader is LOCKED

don't I need to be on stock recovery to do the OTA? or should I run the RUU? I'm on amon ra 3.15
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
You do need to be on the stock recovery. But I would recommend just doing the RUU

I Prefer superuser to SuperSU so....

I Prefer Superuser to SuperSU since I paid for Elite....I flashed this zip. Superuser v 3.1.3 , then installed my Elite Key and SU Update Fixer from the PlayStore. Have latest su binaries [v3.1.1 (17)] now !! I also flashed remotely using Amon Ra 3.15 from my computer ....since I prefer to keep stock recovery on the phone.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
When I was troubleshooting with someone else, he couldn't get it working from that zip, but hey, if it works for someone, then great!
[HTC Rezound] manbat:
I used Scotty 85's Guide from another forum..

I used Scotty 85's Guide from another forum..Had step by step instructions....He suggested SuperSU for ICS also. Earlier Superusers would install but not update. Found this zip later in thread. Flashed it over earlier versions and it worked fine.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
For some reason it seems like SuperUser doesn't like being flashed into a rom, but almost all of the custom roms use it and it's fine. I much prefer SuperUser because it's nicer looking, tho

I believe Scotty85 is aka Scotty1223 on this forum :p idk tho for sure
[HTC Rezound] manbat:
Ive heard that....

I've heard that....But I'm familiar with Superuser. Old and set in mu ways I guess. lol :o I will probably eventually try SuperSU. I do hear good things about it. Thanks for all your info in this thread. Read it all and others before I took the jump...Had to RUU not OTA. Is there a flash-able stock recovery for the ICS that you know of ? I have seen the one for GB.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
You could just take the recovery.img out of the PH98IMG.zip from the RUU and you can flash that just like any other recovery.img

And I'm glad this thread has been helpful to you :)
[HTC Rezound] manbat:
Thanks...I thought so.

Thanks...I thought so. I have unzipped the ROM and looked, I saw the recovery.img there. This go around is the first time I've done these things on an Android with out a "One Click" that someone else has put together...lol :) , but everything has been working fine. I always "read two or three times and do once"!! I'm not unfamiliar with phone hacking...did a lot of work for many years with old WM Op Systems.

Got it ran the ota ruu. Had a hickup I named the file with ".zip.zip" and took me a little bit to figure out that simple mistake. But after that it was pretty simple. Much appreciated.
[HTC Rezound] dangerousjenny:
Alright so I am sorry if this has been answered but I have been looking all over the forums since the update and I can't seem to find the full answer of what I want so I am just going to ask. Lol.

So I want to unlock my phone, and then that is where I am getting a bit of confusion. I rooted my Eris that I had before this. It was easy simple and all I needed to do was root. This phone there is unlock, root, s-off and such. I know how to flash and that and I saw an earlier post on how to root in the ICS in step by step order which is great. I currently am stock ICS from the OTA not the android police RUU.

Ok here is the actual question. I want to be able to install an app that requires root, use a few apps that need root and I am looking into theming (i.e. being able to change the look of the status bar on top of possible boot animations and maybe even customizations of certain apps.) Do I need S-off for this and which order do I need to do this in. Unlock, Root, S-off or in a different order. As I said I see different things but most people are talking about flashing roms and such to the phone. I may flash roms at some point but right now I am more interested in what I said above.

Thanks for anyone's help.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
For what you are asking, you wouldn't need s-off. You could just unlock and root or flash a custom rom. :)

[HTC Rezound] dangerousjenny:
Thanks Ashton for the quick response. :). Good to know. What would the purpose of me doing s-off be then? Just flashing kernals?

Horrible Battery Life Continues

My battery life is still awful. Extended battery, full factory reset, two full dead-to-full charge cycles.

Last night around 11:15 my phone finished charging (it was powered off for the charge). I powered the phone on, turned off both wifi and mobile networks, and went to bed. This morning I woke up and it was down to 83%, after just 6 hours 50 minutes. Cell standby is at 41% usage, and Phone idle is at 40%.

This is ridiculous. I've never had any more than around 8% battery loss over night before (and that might be a bit high), because I always turn off wifi/mobile data at night. I have significantly fewer apps than I did on GB, because I haven't gotten around to re-installing all of them since the factory wipe.

Anybody else experience this? Is this battery drain ridiculous, or am I off base?
[HTC Rezound] jbh00jh:
I was running the May update RUU with a locked bootloader. After reading several posts this morning I flashed the ota RUU and it worked fine.

All I did was download the ICS OTA RUU to my sd card, turn off fast boot, remove and replace the battery and flashed the RUU. Very easy.

Thanks for the reminder in this thread about turning off fast boot, I had forgotten to do that. :)
[HTC Rezound] mikeyk101:
This also worked perfectly for me. Thanks...
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Yeah, s-off allows for flashing kernels in recovery as opposed to as a PH98IMG and it lets you flash separate radios and hboots, but thats only for the extreme modder. Most people, in all honesty, don't need s-off
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
I'm honestly not sure... I don't have my Rezound anymore (and havent for awhile) and I never had a problem like this, so I have no idea. check in sound settings or phone settings and see if there is anything checked there that shouldnt be or vice versa

Glad it worked out for you :)
[HTC Rezound] jbh00jh:
yeah, that's how I feel. The main reason I did s-off and flashed roms over the years was because most of the phones didn't have enough ram or

memory to hardly operate,they were very slow. You had to do s-off to get rid of the bloatware so the phone would operate faster.

But now the phones have plenty of ram and memory and 32GB mico sd cards and are very fast stock,really no reason for most people to root them.

My Rezound is the first phone I have had since my HTC xv6700 that I haven't rooted. I really don't need to, it is plenty fast and has the latest ICS.

That is really all I need. ;)
[HTC Rezound] dangerousjenny:
A lot of people have been saying wait about a week for the battery to get it's self use to the os and then it should be fine. I am having the same problem. I also heard people say to factory reset and it should help. I am planning on unlocking and rooting so I will be wiping the phone anyhow so I am going to do that. Last night I disabled a bunch of apps in setting, apps and hitting either uninstall updates and then disable or just disable and I didn't see as much battery drain last night as I have been but when I use the phone it's draining really quick. It sucks cause I listen to music all night at work and by lunch its pretty low. Luckily I can charge it on lunch but still. Anyone else has ideas I wouldn't mind hearing them.
[HTC Rezound] jbh00jh:
I have always carried an extra battery in my briefcase, it solves a lot of problems. :)
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
True story ;)

Though for me the ICS firmware caused HORRIBLE battery life so I always just used GB firmware with the ICS patch. Seems HTC did a bad job with the update....
[HTC Rezound] Trooper Thorn:
Yeah I don't really know what to do about mine. I disabled all the VZW bloat I could. I'm just trying to decide if I should wait longer to see if the battery life improves some, as people have mentioned, or to just go down to Verizon and get it squared away now. My wife's Rezound does not drain as fast as mine, nor does my coworker's. I don't know why mine would need time to improve when theirs seem fine.

My coworker's stock battery is currently outperforming my extended battery. It's rather frustrating.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Get yours replaced from VZW some of the phones just have problems with ICS

Help... I re locked the bootloader ran the ruu everything went great... Tried to re lock the bootloader all night but when it got to fast boot unlock code bin no dice couldn't find device then the next try invalid code just wouldn't work got the code from HTC ... Could it of been that fastboot was checked in my phone settings?

You typed "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin"? And if that doesn't work, try getting a new code from HTC

[HTC Rezound] athack:
yeah I did... i was up till 5am trying...got the bootloader locked no problem..got the ruu to flash no hassles ... trouble came trying to un lock ... kept trying everything ive read about in here and other forums, tried googling every diff option... finally after 2 hrs sleep back at it again at 7am the hassoon 2000 all in one kit did it for me...then i flashed the super user u told me about prior... all is good now still s-on rooted unlocked... my computer screen has more crap on it from getting this done... shortcuts saved forum pages ...lol... so now i can just flash a ics rom if i decide to and not have to flash any additonal zips correct? meaning no boot img or anything like that... thanks again AshtonTS
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
You'll have to flash a boot image as you're still s-on, but you won't have to flash any sd card patches or anything, so you can flash an ICS rom, then boot into hboot, and let it finish the install from there, then reboot and profit.

Glad everything worked out for you :D
[HTC Rezound] putney1477:
Still no OTA. I know they are rolled out in spurts. I have relocked and ran the GB RUU so I am back to stock. I can just flash the new ICS RUU right? I know that it will wipe my phone. If I flash the RUU will I still be able to get and future OTAS?

I was rooted on stock rom before but, relocked bootloader and flashed stock recovery for the ICS OTA.

I tried to update but when the phone reboots, it enters fastboot and doesn't proceed the update. Am I missing something to receive the OTA?

Also I see that I still have superuser installed although it is not giving root permission to any apps. Do I need to remove this?
[HTC Rezound] fantastli:
I met some problems with my HTC Rezound.

Now it is on GB (stock rom, but I uninstalled some verizon apps), S-ON, relocked.

I want to recover it with GB stock rom, and then upgrade to ICS OTA.

Then what should I do? I cannot find any guide regarding recovery of stock rom.

For both of you I would suggest running the GB RUU in linked in post #3 and then taking the OTA

You can see by my profile that I don't post much. I am a TROLL HACKER!! I don't buy a phone that I do not intend to customize. That said, Today I half-bricked my Rezound pulling my OTA update for ICS. Mainy, I forgot that I rooted it. Got stuck in the boot screen. Found this thread and am now back up, running ICS and rooted again. ASH you are one hell of a bad ass at answering these posts. I KNEW I was onto something as every step to correct went just as it should have. I always recommend this forum to my buddies that want more from their devices.

Need help re-rooting

So, I made an account to post the following comment, but figured it out before I hit submit. I thought I might delete it and move on, but reconsidered. Maybe someone would be having a similar problem? Well, just in case anyone else runs into the thread, I put the fairly simple solution below.

Had stock GB with CWM recovery, S-ON. Root access ok wherever I needed it.

Flashed back the stock recovery and relocked phone (using Hasoon's all-in-one tool).

It wouldn't finish the ICS update. Gave me the red triangle/exclamation point halfway through upgrade.

Ran the GB stock RUU.exe and it took me back to stock stock GB

ICS update worked.

Unlocked phone again (all-in-one tool).

Thought that I would still be rooted at this point, but Titanium Back-up and ROM Manager told me "no root access"

Flashed Amon-Ra recovery (same tool, is this an outdated version maybe?).

At this point noticed that bootloader screen now had *TAMPERED* at the top, above *UNLOCKED*

Installed superuser through Amon-Ra.

Titanium and ROM Manager still tell me "no root access".

Upgraded superuser through the market. Still no root access.

Tried to upgrade superuser binaries through superuser, but it gave me a "no root access" as well.

I must have missed or misunderstood something at some point. Why do I not have root access and what step did I skip? Any help would be appreciated. I've read through several pages of this thread, but it is difficult to go through all of them, and nothing I read specifically addressed my issue.

I guess the next step would be maybe to just run the ICS RUU, but I'm dreading the giant file size, and my internet connection keeps cutting off large downloads in the middle. Would flashing this RUU even make a difference? I feel like it wouldn't, but I don't really know what else to try.

Is the "tampered" label something to be worried about? The reading I've done seems to suggest it's not a big deal.

Thanks again in advance for any help.

SOLUTION: Flash the superuser zip included in the post 3. I guess it is different from what I had installed through Amon Ra (maybe with most up to date binaries). Should have just read more carefully through the post. Cheers.

I've had a little bit of a harder time trying to relock my bootloader. My computer has since crashed and I had to basically factory reset my entire laptop. So I lost all of the drivers and folders I had from when I originally unlocked my phone a couple months ago So what I'm doing now is going through HTCdev and downloading everything I would need to lock it, so I can finally get back to where I was. Really frustrating though.

Thank you for the instructions. I get the windows part just fine but i do not know where to get the fastboot files.

You have 2 options. Downgrade back to GB, or Run the RUU.exe

Yep, looks about right :)
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Well I have to start sometime! Lol
[HTC Rezound] altvisionx:
Just got s-off today (:D) so i can now go through and flash just the .img that i want now correct? is that how you go about installing just radio, kernel, etc...?

Also coming from 3.14.605.10 firmware which files should be updated to OTA?
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Edit: hit quote instead of edit lol
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
you have to flash radios, hboots, and splash screens as PH98IMG.zips, but otherwise you can just flash the .img

To update to the ICS OTA, use the RUU.exe
[HTC Rezound] hrbib21:
After the update downloaded and supposedly installed, I go in and check the software version and it still says 2.3.4 yet when I check the update status it shows it installed ICS. I've restarted a couple times and no change. When I hit Check New now, it does nothing. What gives?

I'm stock, BTW.
[HTC Rezound] Basicallyevolve:
so i actually found the android folder on my laptop that has the fastboot ;P..

when i run the command it sits at waiting for device so i know something is missing.

You need to be on the stock recovery to take the OTA, nonetheless, you should put the RUU on the SD card, and you actually flash it at the HBoot screen rather than in recovery

If you did a restore from a GB backup of the wireless tether....you have to clear data, uninstall, restart phone and reinstall newest version of WiFi tether app..GB.settings will not work and some of the settings that were saved do not show up to be changed once ICS is install.

I just posted asking for full assistance and while I wait to hear I am coming back to this post/response. I never did get the update from Verizon as perdicted. I need to know what some things are so I get it.

1) What is the bootloader and what will unlocking it do for me?

2) S-Off is the radio off right? If not ?? Why get s-off and what is unlimited io where to find?

3) Install amon ra - what is this? why?

4) What would be the standard to determine what is a good ROM? Isn't ICS a ROM?

Will any of the above put ICS on the phone with Data, SMS and Removed Sim Card error? My APN is grayed out ad locked so I can't even change that to T-mobile. Please help :)
