I'm totally stuck. I just s-off'ed...and now I'm stuck back in Fastboot...do I need to (re)flash the update??? It appears s-off worked...since it now says LOCKED and S-OFF. I just don't know if I need to flash it again...or if I can just flash ViperRez.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
You just need to flash your boot.img and recovery.img again

[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Try the ICS RUU then...

[HTC Rezound] OpAckTool:
Alright, probably total dumb question :o...where would my boot.img possibly be? I have a boot_backup.img and recovery_backup.img in my controlbear folder...is that what I'm looking for?
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Yep those are what you need. Fast boot flash them like you would the regular stuff just taking into account the different names

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[HTC Rezound] OpAckTool:
I started flashing boot_backup.img...and during the Writing boot process, I got FAILED (Remote not allowed). I don't know what the hell I did...I thought it maybe went through, but when I hit reboot...it just brought me back to the black juopunutbear screen. Oh boy.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Did u install the jbear hboot??

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[HTC Rezound] OpAckTool:
Not that I'm aware of no. I see the .zip and .img in the controlbear folder. I guess that might be my problem. I assumed that since I was in fastboot, I was good.

Edit: And now I realize my problem is more of an S-OFF issue and not an OTA ICS issue. I'm sorry about that.
[HTC Rezound] Kawaiius:
Finally got it working...finally lol
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
You'll have to use the jbear hboot to be able to use fsstboot commands. Run the control bear and it should give you the option to install the hboot

Nice. Glad its working. Just press thanks for me please ;)

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[HTC Rezound] OpAckTool:
I can't. When I enter control bear, it says the Device is already S-OFF and the app closes. Thing is I was never presented with the option to install jbear hboot in controlbear. Is there a way to manually install it?
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Idk... Google it..someone else had that issue too in this thread

[HTC Rezound] OpAckTool:
No sweat. I appreciate your help, as always. :good:
[HTC Rezound] sk8bert12:
I believe that if you take the jbear hboot.img and rename it PH98IMG and put it on the root of your sd, that you can go to recovery and have it download that. I think that is what i did. Tell me if this helped.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
That should work!

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[HTC Rezound] OpAckTool:
Thank you!

I got it, but I only saw this post after I did the fix, so I couldn't use your advice. The problem was...I had a few issues in controlbear during the S-OFF procedure. It ended with this message:

Cowardly refusing to S-OFF this phone. Error code is: 4E D7 B9 21 Press ENTER to exit.

I pressed enter and immediately went into fastboot, which said S-OFF, so despite the error in controlbear, I assumed I was good. But then I realized, I was supposed to be given the option to install jbear hboot...but I never got that screen because of that error in controlbear. When I opened controlbear back up...I got the "Device is already S-OFF, press enter to exit" message, so I couldn't install jbear hboot. So I scoured through Google looking for an answer and I found out that, in command prompt, type...

fastboot oem rebootRUU

then type (making sure jb_hboot is in the same folder as fastboot/adb/etc)...

fastboot flash zip jb_hboot.zip

then,

fastboot reboot

That installed jb_hboot without a hitch. I then flashed the boot_backup, then recovery_backup...and it booted back into my ROM and all is good with my world again. :victory:

Glad its all working for you!

[HTC Rezound] OpAckTool:
Yeah, and thanks for letting me hijack the thread a bit with an S-OFF dilemma. :cool: I really did think I had to reinstall the ICS OTA though. I didn't know what was going on, but I'm learning.
[HTC Rezound] sk8bert12:
Still confused on this as it says CWM in the front. I tried with Amon Ra and still am left rootless. Might try again later.
[HTC Rezound] Pico:
I had Amon Ra installed and still no root access, I flashed the superuser zip located here http://androidsu.com/superuser/ and I was able to gain root access.. I used 3.2-RC2 listed under ARM..

It might work for you
[HTC Rezound] sk8bert12:
Should I do the developer Su download in Amon RA first? Or do this and I'm done?
[HTC Rezound] Pico:
I just flashed it
[HTC Rezound] sk8bert12:
Are you S-OFF on the OTA ICS RUU?
[HTC Rezound] Pico:
yes

I was able to root before I s-off the phone
[HTC Rezound] sk8bert12:
Well hopefully it works with S-OFF already. Wish me luck

EDIT: OOPS. Since I factory restored I forgot to put Amon Ra back on:X
[HTC Rezound] steventrev:
Been wrestling this for awhile, but I get a random restart & "Unfortunately, phone has stopped" popups an hour or two after running through the steps. This has happened twice after wiping, going through setup, and reloading apps / apex launcher from market. It appears that the phone resets and tries to go through initial setup again before the popups start flooding.

I am S-Off and ran the GB 2.01 RUU before running the OTAs. Bootloader shows tampered & unlocked, AmonRa 3.15 flashed, SuperSU-v0.94 loaded from OP #3, version numbers are good. I had frozen some of the Verizon apps (Navigator, Mobile Hotspot, V CAST Music) both times. Just did another wipe and I'll leave it in this "untouched" state overnight.

Any ideas what the problem is? Could it be related to the launcher? Downloading the ICS RUU now, although I'm not sure if I need it.
[HTC Rezound] Grnlantern79:
I really don't wanna come off as a jerk and I know people always need to start somewhere, I just really think rooting is not for everyone. At this point you need to start from step 1 not jump around to things people are telling you to do. Start from are you unlocked? Do you have custom recovery ( Amon )after unlock via fastboot? Did you flash superSU in recovery? Did you gain root? use root checker in market....if you can not gain root maybe you should give up and just stay stock its not for everyone, I ask questions but can figure it out after one reply or just by reading I rooted over 10 phones and run into different issues but find my way through it or a work around. You need to be creative and take chances that is what rooting is about. Good luck and do some reading people are here but in the end its your phone and you don't want someone else's idea to be responsible for a bricked phone.
[HTC Rezound] nPQ9nP:
Yes! You're the man. Using the GB RUU did the trick! Thank you very much!
[HTC Rezound] Grnlantern79:
Do not freeze any apps, I read it needs to be 100% stock no frozen or disabled apps of any kind.
[HTC Rezound] *Madmoose*:
Nicely put. I've been reading a lot of questions in here that should never even be asked. People need to read up on what the steps are and understand them before attempting all this.

- S-off - Know what this does

- Unlocked HBoot - Know what this does

- Install recovery - Know what this means/does.

- Root your rom - Understand how this works.

- Understand the difference between RUU's, OTA's and custom roms

- Understand your firmware and what it means to step from Gingerbread to ICS

I'm not trying to be harsh or single anyone out here. But before you even started the HTCDev Tool you should have a fair understanding all of these things.
[HTC Rezound] mopho kore:
wont check for update

it says checking for new software available now, then goes back to the screen where you select status or check new, any ideas?

Just wait. OTA's are rolled out in stages. Its just probably not at your area yet

[HTC Rezound] dm5530:
So I'm finally getting around to unlocking, rooting and going for S-OFF. I've spent most of today reading through threads on XDA to get a good feel of what to do. Most of them pertain to users that have already rooted and used a leaked ROM (or some other alternative).

I know, why did I wait... partially because I wanted to be outside a 6 month window with the phone and mostly because I wanted to have a free weekend where I wouldn't feel rushed or anxious about getting finished with the job. Flame away... ;)

I'd like to be more confident before I take the plunge so I'm requesting feedback on my path forward.

Anyway, here is where I am:

Rezound on the 3.14.605.12 ICS OTA (done Thursday night); still stock, locked bootloader, S-ON

Backed up internal and external SD

Windows 7 PC with HTC drivers and adb, capability confirmed working

Prior experience rooting my G1; includes using Amon Ra's recovery, chainsdd's SuperUser Elite, and Titanium Backup

Where I want to be:

unlocked bootloader

S-OFF

ICS ROM for now (maybe a JB ROM down the road)

I'm somewhat comfortable on the steps but would appreciate some confirmation.

Unlock bootloader at htcdev

Flash recovery (Amon Ra v3.15)

Root

S-OFF

Flash ROM of choice (currently thinking Nils Business_ICS4.0.3_Sense3.6-v5.7)

My questions:

Are my steps ok? (Anything missing or out of order?)

Is the su from chainsdd OK? I've read elsewhere that it doesn't work with ICS, and I need to use SuperSU from chainfire.

Do I need to flash any kernel in addition to the ROM?

Thanks in advance for the help. :)
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
This isn't really the thread for this but...

Don't unlock after s-off, you want the hboot to read s-off and locked. Instead of manually root, just flash a custom rom, just to avoid that issue. But otherwise your steps are good. And at the moment, there are no custom kernels besides the ones that come stock with the roms.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[HTC Rezound] PhantasmRezound:
I prefer it read "S-off" and [insert pink fuzzywuzzydrunky bear name here] instead. By that I mean opt into the custom JuopunutBear bootloader when prompted at the end of the S-off process; allows for fastboot flashing of files that way.

Manual root saves time if done right. But since the person has a weekend to burn, that probably is a better option. Just be sure it is a ROM both with root already and has S-on instructions/files. Dumb boot.img issue, have to be sure to flash that too when S-on.

There are a few custom ones for Gingerbread and the Sebastian kernel for ICS. But yes, on the ICS ROMs most are better off with the stock kernels.

Gettin out of yo thread now :silly:
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
The reason I said what I did about root is that I spent like an hour troubleshooting someone over GTalk about root and it could have been solved in 3 minutes if he had flash a custom rom,

And the guy who mentioned custom kernels said he was on the ICS firmware, and besides Sebastian's kernel, which is JUST overclocked, there are no custom kernels

:p
[HTC Rezound] PhantasmRezound:
Silliness aside, sorry it took that long with such an issue. Agreed, a rooted ROM install is easier to do or troubleshoot, looking at the posts in the forum lately of people who attempt a manual root.

Yes, Sebastian's kernel is really just an OC with a bug fix tacked on, I'll give you that lol. Just wanted to make that a known option.

And I run GB ROMs with custom kernels and firmware patches with the new ICS firmware and radios. But then again, I'm weird and the main thing in the community and this very thread right now is all about ICS ROMs. Just being a devil's advocate/grammar nazi lately really. :angel:

Virgin Stock on T-Mobile - Software Update - Service Unavailable

I have had my phone since March have been on the threads and have been more afraid to root and install unofficial updates because I don't want to brick my phone. I have been patient using my phone on T-Mobile only able to get data on Wi-Fi , no text message outs and lock ring still there on home page :( I am very happy to hear there is an upgrade!!!!

My question is if I am using T-Mobile will I still get a software push to my phone? If I am not on Verizon then how would it be pushed to the phone? If it turns out that naturally the above can't happen because of the carriers then what is the best way for me to update? Where is the reliable link?

My second question is after the update how can I handle the inital problems with data, text messages and lock ring without screwing up my phone?

Please help
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Try it and see if it lets you take the OTA :)

If not, there's a link in post #3, if that RUU doesn't work for you, there's one a couple pages back that supposedly works.

And check the development section. There are some nice GSM only roms over there. They should help a lot with your carrier issues. Don't worry about bricking. There is only a .0001% chance of that happening, and just by flashing roms, it's impossible to brick :)

stock recovery

I flashed the stock recovery img in fastboot and when I go to recovery I get the phone icon with a red triangle. is it cuz my main version is not the right one? mainver: 2.01.605.11? how do I check for my main ver again? :angel::confused: I was able to flash back to amon ra 3.15 with no problem. thanks for any advice ;)

I highly doubt you will get an ota being on a different carrier. Easiest way is to run a ics ruu then:

1 unlock bootloader

2 get s-off using unlimited.io

3 install amon ra

4. Flash one of siul's roms he has several and they run on GSM automatically

My battery life is absolutely horrible as well. With my typical usage I could often go two full days with my extended battery, maybe just a little bit less lately. Now with ICS I'm at 22 hours and I'm down to 34%...on any other day I'd still be right around 50% at the 24 hour mark. I'm hoping after another charge cycle or two it will be back to normal, but if not I'm going to be seriously upset.

[HTC Rezound] sk8bert12:
I finally got root on my ICS Rezound.:D I made a quick guide for anyone still stuck (feel free to add to OP Ashton) It's a really super-noob guide with a lot of steps so it should work for everyone!

For those who need help rooting after downloading the ICS OTA:

Step 1: Flash Amon Ra recovery onto your phone

Step 2: add this file to the ROOT of your external SD Card: http://www.sendspace.com/file/biqzgw

Step 3: Turn off your phone, pull battery, put back in battery, BUT DO NOT TURN BACK ON and look at step 5

Step 5: Hold down the volume down button + the power button at same time and hold it until the bootloader pops up.

Step 6. Use the volume down button to go to "recovery" (it should be highlighted blue if selected) and hit the power button. You should now be in Amon ra recovery

Step 7: Use the Volume buttons to move the selector up or down and go down to "Flash zip menu" and hit the power button to select it.

Step 8: Next go down and select "Choose zip from sdcard" and select it by hitting the power buttton again/

Step 9: Now you should find the file for the root here (normally at the very bottom, just remember what you named it) and scroll to it and hit power. It will ask to confirm by hitting the power button again so do so.

Step 10: It will now install, however, If it fails just try to install again until it says it was successful. (It took me 2 tries)

Step 11: Select the return option to return to the main Amon Ra page and select "Reboot system now"

Step 12: While your phone is booting up, put the back cover on if you have not yet done so as it is needed for the next part.

Step 13: Go to the Google Play store, and download this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...nstaller&hl=en

Step 14: Open the installer (and superuser might request permission, if it does, click ALLOW) and at the bottom it should say something like "Install". Click this!

Step 15: Once it says it is successful with the installation, go back to the Play store and find the superuser app.

Step 16: Update Superuser and then open it. (Allow superuser permissions again if asked) and scroll the the "info" page which is to the left of the main apps page

Step 17: under su bunary vx.x.x hit the "Tap to check for updates" option.

Step 18: Hit update

Step 19: YOU ARE ROOTED

Step 20: You may uninstall the busybox installer and install any root applications for your leisure!

Step 21: Thanks this post if it helped:)
[HTC Rezound] mopho kore:
how do i go about doing that?
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Download the one linked in post #3, and make sure it's named PH98IMG.zip, then put it on the root of your SD card, them boot into hboot to follow the prompts to flash it. And make sure it reboots 3 times during the installation process
