If anybody wants to start a torrent, I'll seed it the rest of the afternoon. I've got a great net connection.

On a related note to ICS: I'm currently running the stock ROM, rooted. I need to keep root when I go ICS and will probably flash the image linked in this thread. How can I get root back? I have Amon Ra loaded and IIRC it has an option to enable root right? Just want to make sure I can get root back in short order. Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] Corki2:
Make sure your file doesn't have zip zip at the end.
[HTC Rezound] carngeX:
Erm... uTorrent is <1MB... If uTorrent is dragging your system down... you've got problems.

P2P is way better than HTTP IMO. And be realistic... I'm sure a good majority of people here do torrent, and if not, it's not that hard to learn. Install the client, give download link to .torrent file, pick save directory, and download. Torrenting = better for high-traffic downloads; why do you think even some game companies distribute game patches via torrent?
[HTC Rezound] Corki2:
It worked for me :)
[HTC Rezound] divinecow:
Hello! I'm a new xda user and I have a few questions if anybody could please answer or help with.

My rezound is unrooted and stock (yeah I know, but this is my first smart phone), but never receieved the 2.01.605.11 through the OTA. So its super barebone stock version 1.02.605.6. I've had this phone for a while and I was wondering if I ran this RUU on my phone will it update properly?

Thanks
[HTC Rezound] cowman4000:
It will, but if you are bone stock just wait for the OTA to hit your phone, much easier in your case.
[HTC Rezound] dangerousjenny:
Is there a way that someone who has gotten the OTA official one not the one that android police have could upload it. Not that I am thinking that the android police one is bad but I hear it wipes the phone and I hope that something hasn't gotten change on it since they recieved the one they have to download. They said they have had it for months. :) Also if anyone knows any force ota tricks let me know. I have tried the google services one and it hasn't worked.
[HTC Rezound] Kawaiius:
It doesn't it says PH98IMG.zip..if i erase the zip it just becomes PH98IMG and shows as a different file.
[HTC Rezound] divinecow:
Thanks for the reply!

I understand it might be easier, but I got this phone in March, so I've been waiting for the basic OTA (2.01.605.11) at least to hit my phone. I understand that the ICS update is going now so it might be delayed to other rezound users.

Guess I'm being impatient heh.
[HTC Rezound] Kawaiius:
I dont understand whats going on here guys..i even downloaded the mediafire one..renamed it PH98IMG.zip..it loads it up like normal..then after the bar goes all the way to the top it talks about no images or something. and goes back to the menu
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
Can't believe this took until August.
[HTC Rezound] Insidious:
Tell me if it fixes heating. Don't want to possibly loose and s-off exploit.

[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
Verizon staggers their OTA rollouts so they don't have everyone downloading at once. It's probably possible to get the file once it's downloaded and post it somehow. I'm new to HTC, but it was pretty easy on Samsung...you just had to let it download and then copy it before reboot, because applying it would delete the file.
[HTC Rezound] aceofskies05:
Can someone upload another dropbox or google drive link?
[HTC Rezound] Kawaiius:
also all the files it says no image to seems to be in the PH98IMG.zip file.
[HTC Rezound] BSquaredB2:
Whoa, what? My Rezound is bone stock, but came with build 2.01.605.11. Am I cool to update or am I effing myself somehow?

FWIW.....this was my 100th post
[HTC Rezound] dangerousjenny:
I know that. I didn't say anything about that. I was asking a nice user (people have done this in the past) to upload the official ota one. This was done for ota's for my Eris in the past. I just don't want to wait, of course but at the same time I don't want to use the Android Police one because it will wipe the phone. There have been tricks in the past to get phones to update and I was asking if anyone knew any I haven't tried. :) Thanks though.
[HTC Rezound] mpmorph:
It worked

It worked for me!!!! I lost everything....but i have ICS now!!! Sweet and sour victory!!!
[HTC Rezound] PreceptorJR:
Why can't I find the "root" directory?
[HTC Rezound] mgabriel2:
Question - Since .12 has been floating around in the past how do we know this is legit
[HTC Rezound] fsiddique:
Root is the main directory of your SD-card, so the highest directory, not in any specific folders in the sdcard
[HTC Rezound] carngeX:
Root directoy refers to the top level directory of the SD card (i.e. not in any folders).
[HTC Rezound] rezokrazy22:
you can just wait for OTA to make it simple or you can just do it now either way youll be fine
[HTC Rezound] Kawaiius:
after it loads up the PH98IMG.zip file it gives me a couple error the first one says that its the wrong zipped image?
[HTC Rezound] kc6wke:
There is not a directory called root, Just put it on the sd card, not in a folder and boot into hboot
[HTC Rezound] carngeX:
Verify the MD5 of the file you downloaded.
[HTC Rezound] Kawaiius:
...what? i've never had to do that before doing something like this..so i have no idea how to do that lol.
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
http://support.verizonwireless.com/pdf/system_update/rezound.pdf
[HTC Rezound] mgabriel2:
Thats a PDF file nothing that confirms .12 is legit It just means VZ has updated their pdf and the ota is getting close. Is there a way to confirm .12 is OTA ? and not the leak thats been out for some time
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
called a vzw tech, he said the .12 is the OTA that is rolling out.
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
So you think VZW regularly updates their documentation on their public website to reflect software that we aren't even supposed to have? Or did you not see the version number spelled out in the PDF?

Download that, and run it on the file you downloaded from AndroidPolice.

The string it generates should be exactly the same as the one on here: http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...cream-sandwich-ruu-for-final-ota-3-14-605-12/

I'd try downloading it in a different browser if you still can't get it to work. My buddy that was trying to download Win8 Preview downloaded it twice and it was a bad download. He did it in a different browser, and it then worked. Took us a couple tries of trying to figure that one out lol.
[HTC Rezound] dogface3247:
Was wondering if i have to re lock my boot loader to receive the update?
[HTC Rezound] Bensky91:
Wondering the same. Also, will having S-OFF break my phone if I try to install the OTA?

I'm planning on doing the S-OFF procedure very quickly before the OTA gets to my phone
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
Here you go..

[HTC Rezound] Kawaiius:
Yea i figured it out and its the same MD5 as the one nrfitchett4 posted with his mediafire link...i dunno whats going on..once the blue bar gets filled says its the wrong zipped or whatever and then says no image for some other files.
[HTC Rezound] mgabriel2:
Yes I saw the Version in the PDF just want to be cautious - We've gotten our hopes up and dashed too many times I guess
[HTC Rezound] PreceptorJR:
I did. here is what I've done so far:

Took phone out of unlock...relocked bootloader.

Downloaded newest file, extracted and renamed ph98img.zip, put it on SD card.

Flashed phone into bootloader, clicked fastboot and recovery, nothing happens.
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
needs to be in caps PH98IMG.zip
[HTC Rezound] PreceptorJR:
It is in caps, but do i leave the .zip at the end?
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
You should try to get S-OFF *before* you run this RUU. Make sure you pick the correct hboot for your current Rezound firmware. Once you've gotten S-OFF, you will have no issues, but realize that both the S-OFF procedure AND the OTA procedures will wipe your phone. The S-OFF procedure ALSO wipes your sdcard, so for heavens sake put a different card in before you do it!
[HTC Rezound] OpAckTool:
Same here. I'm rooted, unlocked and s-on...I'm assuming I can't just download the update. At least according to the link in the OP, it said it needs to be stock and locked or s-off. I really don't want to screw things up. :fingers-crossed:
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
yes, are you sure the PH98IMG.zip is on the "root" of your sd card? and does hboot see the zip at all?
[HTC Rezound] PreceptorJR:
It is in the top menu when I go into Astro File Manager...that is the root section, isn't it? There is SD_EXT as a subdirectory there...

It says "no image found" for each of the attempts.
[HTC Rezound] Corki2:
Did you put it on the root of your Ext-Sd?
[HTC Rezound] Bensky91:
Yep, that's what I've heard. I have a spare 2GB microsd card from an old phone. I'll take out my 16gb rezound card, replace with 2gb, do S-OFF, put 16gb back in, make another nandroid to be safe, check software update and get OTA. Does that sound about right?
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
try plugging it in to a pc and see when you mount the sd card if its on the root of it. idk how astro works. :/
[HTC Rezound] Kawaiius:
Yes im downloading it through a different browser..maybe thats what it was..it seems to be taking a bit longer to download..we will see
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
what was the size of the zip? should be around 600mb
[HTC Rezound] Kawaiius:
599 and the MD5 was the same..but i figured id try since NOTHING else is working.
[HTC Rezound] BSquaredB2:
Yep, for some reason I have the same problem. Bootloader starts loading files and then says No Image for all the files it checks.
[HTC Rezound] altvisionx:
Are people trying to s-off before OTA for a specific reason? or just in case the s-off exploit will be "fixed"?
[HTC Rezound] Corki2:
You have to put in in the SD_EXT folder you see there. That is the root of your external SD card.
[HTC Rezound] MarkLI88:
I received the 7 meg update file thay says it is needed to prepare my phone for the ICS update. Keeping my fingers crossed.
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
can you open the zip and make sure its .img files?

you might have a stock zip that will flash in recovery.
[HTC Rezound] apophis9283:
If i am on gb firmware and have flashed viper rez and flashed old firmware patch. If i flash this ruu will it effect the rom since I used the old firmware patch?
[HTC Rezound] funnyangrykid:
what happened to me was, you woud see the sidebar loading the zip, but it just said parsing and then nothing happens. so the problem was there was a zip inside of a zip. i had to extract the "Downloaded zip" and then rename thee Extracted Zip to "PH98IMG.zip and problem solved.
[HTC Rezound] Doddzilla:
I just checked for the hell of it. Sure enough there was an update available. Said preparing for ics update. I have a new replacement unrooted so I took the ota. Changed to .12 after install but still no ics.
[HTC Rezound] brisdaddy1207:
So people are complaining over at Phandroid that the update is only 4.0.3 and I put them in their place and got called a troll. Only thing I said is can't you be happy that they released the update.
[HTC Rezound] manbat:
I have the Pre Update "7.12mg OTAPkg.zip" saved....Just got it !!

I have the Pre-Update "7.12mg OTAPkg.zip" saved....Just got it !! I'll try to save the Updated OTAPkg.zip also for posting...
[HTC Rezound] Echo17121:
I just got the OTA a few minutes ago. It is taking forever to download! Pretty exciting though!
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
:highfive:

congrats
[HTC Rezound] Jacklad:
I didn't get a notification, but manually check for software update - it immediately prompted me to download the 7mb file to "prepare the phone" for ICS - after rebooting, was notified of main update, 299MB - downloading now through OTA - nice!
[HTC Rezound] LOBBS:
Awesome, I start to download the RUU.zip on my PC and my phone tells me I'm getting the OTA. If someone can tell me how to pull just the OTA RUU.exe file I'll get it up on Mediafire. I've got over 600 gigs of bandwidth on that account.
[HTC Rezound] BSquaredB2:
I updated my previous post. As soon as I put the file in the EXT_SD folder, it started updating in bootloader. Thanks all good......time to start configuring and setup! :laugh:
[HTC Rezound] cslingerland:
What does this update do? How does it "prepare" your phone for the update
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
glad you got it working. :D

im still on viper rom so im not going to update but let us know how it goes for ya
[HTC Rezound] ehreec:
Just got the OTA for the 6mb preparation file! Sweet!
[HTC Rezound] Kawaiius:
I dont know what else it could be and its pissing me off..i've downloaded from two different browsers..checked the MD5 and it still says its the wrong image after the blue bar loads up..this is bull
[HTC Rezound] manbat:
Don't really know...About to get ready for work so had to put on hold...

=====================

Don't really...About to get ready for work so had to put on hold...Just have it sitting in /cache/fumo/....right now. Just thought I would save it...In case someone wanted to look at it. I will post it later tonight if no one else has.
[HTC Rezound] sk8bert12:
We can still get s-off after the ota right? I wanted to do this after my phone got ics
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
make sure its named PH98IMG.zip

its also a zip inside a zip so you will need to extracted it first.

---------- Post added at 09:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:39 AM ----------

we cant confirm this yet. best to do it on gb then update to the OTA via hbbot.
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
For those having issues running the RUU:

Make sure it is on the root of your SD card (ext_sd or SDcard2, depending on which file manager app you use). Easiest way to check is to put the SD card in your pc and look at the SD card that way. Right click the PH98IMG.zip file and click properties. Make sure it is the right file size, and has the right name (no double zip, like PH98IMG.zip.zip or something).

Guys, you do NOT need to unlock your bootloader for any reason if you are already S-off.
[HTC Rezound] cslingerland:
What's the prep update do
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
request the real zip from VZW server.
[HTC Rezound] cslingerland:
Wow. Lol is that necessary
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
yes so you dont get forced to install it. its up to the end user. if it was just forced and you didnt have a full battery when the process starts then it will brick the device.

sending a 7mb file that askes you to update instead of sending a 700mb file that ask you to update is a lot nicer on your phone.
[HTC Rezound] sk8bert12:
Or you can just plug the charger in before hand.
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
true but we cant confirm that the phone charges when an update is being applied.

thats something we should test.
[HTC Rezound] cslingerland:
Understandable. Thanks :)
[HTC Rezound] sk8bert12:
I guess your hinting something to me:p time to put my phone on reserve then plug in charger and download ota! Inb4 success
[HTC Rezound] zone23:
Well its finally here see attached image...
[HTC Rezound] dogface3247:
I'm a noob but this is what i did to get re lock bootloader also unroot phone to get the update to download. Hope it help you guys out, see you on the other side. After everything was done im downloading the ics update now.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1472606

p.s. i use Rezound_All-In-One_Kit_v2.1 to relock the bootloader.
[HTC Rezound] Hag77:
So, will s-off users need to have the jbear hboot and a recovery handy to reflash? I'm assuming the update will blow em away but not sure.
[HTC Rezound] dangerousjenny:
I have seen this question asked an no one has really answered but should I unlock before doing the ota I am getting it now and I want to know if I need to do that before or if I will be able to afterwards and how do you make it so you can download it and save it. I would really like to know if someone could answer please.
[HTC Rezound] zone23:
If your going to take the OTA you need the stock recovery, that should answer your question about if it will blow it away.

Says its going to take 23min to update make sure your batteries are charged..
[HTC Rezound] drtchocky:
Dudes... I just got the update notice, but it says it's 7.1mb? is this the previous update to bring me up to date before I get the new one? I'll update with screenshot.
[HTC Rezound] sk8bert12:
Stay locked until after the ota as the ota will surely come in then. However, I remember getting the last ota when I was unlocked but completley stock so you could do that. I just reccomend staying locked until you get the ota.
[HTC Rezound] zone23:
You will get ICS after that.. you get that update first.
[HTC Rezound] drtchocky:
Thanks... just restarting the phone.
[HTC Rezound] zone23:
I checked for updates after it reboot and BAM! there it was.
[HTC Rezound] drtchocky:
This is exciting! I know it sounds stupid, but I was a ROM junkie. When I got my first rezound I unlocked and rooted it... but when I got my replacement I realized how much I liked the phone as is, so I promised myself I'd wait... FINALLY!
[HTC Rezound] zone23:
Goes like this: install OTA ICS, reboot, reset phone, flash recovery via hboot, flash Root via recovery, pull files, build ROM. Although I will mostly be just changing it to blue so no need to post that garbage. Good times..
[HTC Rezound] larrykay:
update ics

Mine started the update also anyone know how long it takes to complete? looks like my progress bar isnt moving , stuck at half way.
[HTC Rezound] zone23:
Ya its really a good time, phone reboot about 3 times.

Look at that its ICS..

Just so everyone knows I flashed the GB PH98IMG first the kept checking for the update.
[HTC Rezound] sk8bert12:
Just got my pre ics update from vzw.
[HTC Rezound] Hag77:
I'm actually not going to OTA.. I d/l'd the ruu.. Currently running jbear hboot/ s-off. Plan was to put zip on sd card, reboot and let it do it's thing.. When done, flash amon and reload my Newt one xxx nandroid backup. Only thing I'm not sure about is if I'll need to reload jbear hboot or just stick w/ the stock one..
[HTC Rezound] kidwolf908:
This is a noob question, but I'll ask it anyway before I brick my phone.

My Rez is HTC unlocked, but still S-ON. Much of my bloatware is frozen.

If I go to update via the RUU, do I need to make any modifications to my phone (re-lock, factory reset, flash stock recovery)? Or can I just run the RUU and it will reformat everything it needs to?

If I go to update via the OTA, do I need to do something different?

Thanks in advance guys!
[HTC Rezound] HowardZ:
If you want to download the RUU using uTorrent,

here is the torrent file:

[HTC Rezound] zone23:
I personally have never had jbear hboot except for when I S-Offed.

checked hboot still S-Off as expected.
[HTC Rezound] fireracer88:
HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!

yes i did too...kinda funny I didn't pay attention to the size I was just happy then I went to about the phone and it still said 2.3.4 I about threw the phone at work and then i popped up with the full update about 3 min later
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
You'll need to Re-Lock in fastboot (fastboot oem lock) and thats all (if it gives you a security error or anything, just ignore it). After locking, run the RUU and youre good
[HTC Rezound] ecetim:
I have the same question. I'm unlocked and rooted. Any issues? I assume it should be easy to get root back
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
See my post right above yours^^ :)
[HTC Rezound] xerose:
I went through the first 7mb OTA update and then the ICS update. The phone booted up and then I went to unlock the phone and now it is sitting at "loading" for about 15 minutes now... :confused:
[HTC Rezound] sk8bert12:
If anyone can tell me where the pre update downloads to I can post that incase that actually helps. i can't seem to find it when I search
[HTC Rezound] MarkLI88:
Received the update here in West Palm Beach on my stock Rezound. Received the 7 meg file first then the actual update. Mine downloaded pretty quick and the install was done in less then 15 minutes. Looks good so far.
[HTC Rezound] kidwolf908:
Thanks Ashton!

I'm going to spend my afternoon hooking my phone up with this build of ICS while I wait for AOSP to be hammered out :D
[HTC Rezound] zone23:
OK guess I'll get my laptop and make me a ROM good luck boys and have fun! This is probably it for officials, were on our own now..
[HTC Rezound] sk8bert12:
Quick question. I recieved the 7 meg download but deferred it for a few minutes so I could ask, I have cwm recovery will this effect the download in anyway? I am referring to the ota. I still have all bloat for this
[HTC Rezound] zone23:
Its been posted that the 7mb comes first.
[HTC Rezound] sk8bert12:
I know. I'm saying will cwm effect the outcome of that download or the ics one after that?
[HTC Rezound] zone23:
OTA requires stock recovery.
[HTC Rezound] ecetim:
Thanks. Then I go through the original unlock process again, or is it now just an "unlock" option in fastboot? Then I can just use the root feature in recovery again as well?
[HTC Rezound] mgabriel2:
Awsome! Just got the OTA notice! Im glad this is official !
[HTC Rezound] warpurlgis:
It's like none of you flashed the leaked OTA before.

Make sure the RUU zip you downloaded isn't compressed within another zip

Rename the RUU you downloaded to PH98IMG.zip

Put the PH98IMG.zip on the root of your SD card

The RUU will wipe the contents of your phone and your SD card completely. If you want to save whats on your SD card make a folder called SD on your desktop and put everything from your SD card in there.

Boot into HBOOT holding down the power and volume down key.

If you have done it right it should start loading the PH98IMG.zip and will ask you if you want to update. Select yes obviously.

In my experience run the RUU twice to ensure it flashed correctly.

As for the guy with apps frozen. Running the RUU will wipe everything, if you do OTA it'll restore everything to stock. If you don;t want to lose anything stay on the leaks until theres root for the new OTA,
[HTC Rezound] ecetim:
Thanks. I didn't flash the leaked RUU. I wanted to wait for the official one.
[HTC Rezound] oct2274:
Sweet! I waited forever. Phone has been stock this whole time (I bought it the first day it was released....) . Phone is upgrading as we speak.

I wanted to get the official ota before unlocking the phone. What a long wait............. Hope the upgrade goes well, then it's time to play!
[HTC Rezound] drtchocky:
I'm already done... yes. It all went really smoothly and fast.
[HTC Rezound] ecetim:
Has anyone confirmed the RUU downloads that have been posted here actually work?
[HTC Rezound] sk8bert12:
If anyone can help me get back to stock recovery from cwm it would be greatly appreciated. Please just feel free to pm me. I don't want to lose anything. Thanks
[HTC Rezound] drtchocky:
Upon reboot it's still telling me there an ICS update? should I redo it?
[HTC Rezound] apophis9283:
Finally decided to update firmware to ics, what I found amazing was that I didnt have to do the amon ra recovery fix with wiping all my stuff.
[HTC Rezound] zac41189:
RUU'd back to 2.01.605.11 just to accept it lol. Had the 3.14.605.12 ICS leak (OTA) downloaded but wanted to see if I could accept OTA with S-off and sure enough you can. Figured you could just wanted to test. Now HTC needs to release kernel source and we're golden.
[HTC Rezound] nauceman:
Just did ota for a customer in Heber City Utah. Took about 20 minutes total. We have 4G here :)
[HTC Rezound] das0527:
The Dropbox download worked perfectly for me. Woot woot, finally ICS. And today is National Ice Cream Sandwich Day.

I swear, if HTC & Verizon were keeping us waiting for THAT they're going straight to hell.

Now that I think of it, I'm going to buy an Ice Cream Sandwich and eat it in sheer happiness when i am officially on ics.
