Rename to PH98IMG.zip,place on sd card, reboot to bootloader.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
alternatively from what 1heffer said, you can place the PH98IMG.zip in the folder you have fastboot in on your PC and type

fastboot oem rebootRUU

then

fastboot flash zip PH98IMG.zip

Either way it will yield the same result, but I think this way is simpler because you don't have to pull the SD card and stuff, and also don't have to worry about flashing it twice
[HTC Rezound] tgelston:
At the risk of beating a dead horse - is Recovery AMON RA (black background and aqua colored text) the same as bootloader?

Or is bootloader the white screen with text and says HBOOT at top?
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
the hboot one :)
[HTC Rezound] tgelston:
I have a Mac - I do have a PC here I could use but haven't yet, I probably should since I will need it for the S-Off process

But then http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Fastboot says I need to be S-off for running fastboot?

So in a few moments I will try the SD card method. . .

[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
That's out of date, or at least incomplete. What they state is true for locked bootloaders, but unlocked bootloaders give you full access to extended fastboot commands.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
you can still do all that stuff on a mac (I have a mac lol) and you definitely don't need s-off to do fastboot commands anymore because of the bootloader unlock we have now ;)
[HTC Rezound] wlmeng11:
You can fix the mainver error by flashing a mainver reset zip.

However, I still stand by my opinion that fastboot is the easiest way.

[HTC Rezound] 1heffer:
Seconded.
[HTC Rezound] tgelston:
OK - I am at work and keep getting interrupted ;) so i haven't done anything yet.

I remember now that i did do terminal from my mac when originally flashing CleanRom

SO I rename the zip file to PH98IMG.zip

I place it in my Android folder on the root of my HD

I open terminal

I plug my phone into the computer - the phone is booted up normally and USB debugging is turn ON

I think do something that lets terminal know what folder I am working out of

Then type

fastboot oem rebootRUU

then

fastboot flash zip PH98IMG.zip

And I am golden?
[HTC Rezound] cslingerland:
Yep.you have to make sure you're in the folder your adb and fastboot are in. If your folder is called android and is on the root of your hard drive then you would switch by typing CD /android
[HTC Rezound] tgelston:
And I get <waiting for device>

What state should my phone have been in?

. . .

EDIT: I can confirm phone is connected, when I run ADB Devices I get a response. - hope that helps.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Boot into hboot and select fastboot from the menu
[HTC Rezound] cslingerland:
type fastboot devices and see if it returns anything. It sounds like it isn't seeing your phone. Sorry but I forget does your phone boot at all right now? Or can you only get boot loader??
[HTC Rezound] tgelston:
Now we seem to be cooking

Sending Zip. . . .

(bootloader) zip info parsing. . .

finished. total time: 60.940s

And phone is sitting at HTC screen - all black with HTC in gray gradient

Is this bad?
[HTC Rezound] wlmeng11:
I don't know why he recommended that method.

Easiest way is to extract the boot.img, then:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

Sent from my ADR6425LVW
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Wait he was trying to flash the boot? :banghead: I thought he wanted to flash a RUU.
[HTC Rezound] cslingerland:
Agreed but someone already told him the other way didn't want to confuse him
[HTC Rezound] tgelston:
BOTH - I need firmware and ROM to match to run the jonupt stuff and prior I was running an ICS rom with GB firmware. . .
[HTC Rezound] tgelston:
So I should unzip this RUU I have

Pull out the boot.img and stick it in my Mac's android folder?

The run the command

fastboot flash boot boot.img
[HTC Rezound] cslingerland:
Don't unzip.just extract the boot.img and yes
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Yes. If you just need to flash the kernel/boot, that's what u would need to do

You can't just extract the boot.img on a Mac, you have to unzip
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
Even though you're not at the wire trick step yet for S-Off, here's some personal advice since I just S-Off'd my phone again last night: get a rigid wire and press down the GROUND pin and tap PIN1 then say "Mississippi Mississippi" (takes about 1.5 seconds to say that and that's around the time that is needed) and tap PIN1 again. Both times I did S-OFF I did it the reverse (held PIN1 steady and tapped GROUND and it would never work because the contact is hard to touch, I also believe that I partially screwed up my radio the first time I did it because I was using a different pin other than GROUND) and it always resulted in S-Off Failed, Still Sober. After about ten tries last night I reversed my method and kept GROUND steady and got it on the first try.

I was S-On (obviously) and unlocked running a CM9 kang and these are the steps that I took:

1. Wiped the phone

2. Flashed Scott's 3.14.605.5 ICS ROM and the necessary boot.img via fastboot (fastboot flash boot boot.img) since when I tried to do it via the PH98IMG.zip it gave me the mainver error and I didn't feel like dealing with it.

3. Booted into Android and made sure that USB Debugging was enabled and that ADB could see my phone

4. Ran the Linux 3.14.605.5 version of JBear with root privileges and let it do it's thing

5. Did the wire trick by holding GROUND steady and depressed, then tapped PIN1 said Mississippi Mississippi and let it continue on, it said "Bear is thirsty!" and kept going on through the process.

6. When it was finished it asked me if I wanted to flash the JBear HBOOT and I said yes, but for some reason it put me back on the Stock locked HBOOT (but S-Off) with the fastboot commands locked

7. I formatted my MicroSD card as FAT32 and placed the BOSS HBOOT from this thread (MAKE SURE THE MD5 SUMS MATCH) on my sdcard renamed as PH98IMG.zip, stuck it in the phone and booted into HBOOT and let it upgrade the bootloader

8. I rebooted back into the bootloader and flashed the stock boot image from Scott's rom (extract it out of the PH98IMG.zip which was downloaded from his website and run fastboot flash boot boot.img) since JBear replaced the boot image

9. Then I flashed a recovery image with fastboot since JBear also erased that

10. Select the recovery option from HBOOT to boot into the recovery and from there you can transfer the rom of your choice from your computer to your phone (you have to enable mass storage in the recovery of course) and flash it without needing to worry about boot image files ever again! :D

I know how much of a pain in the ass this seems since I too had an OG Droid and it was pretty simple, I went to an Incredible about a year after it came out so all I had to do for S-Off was run Unrevoked and it did everything for me. I got the Rezound on launch day and was baffled by all the hoops I had to jump through in order to flash a custom ROM, let alone a kernel or radio image!

Have fun and don't brick your phone by flashing a bad HBOOT image or Radio firmware, everything else is recoverable! Apparently you can fix those too but it seems to be a big pain in the ass to do. :D
[HTC Rezound] tgelston:
I have a program that seems to have pulled it all apart - I have a boot_signed.img

I rename? boot.img and follow previous steps?

Thanks,

[HTC Rezound] tgelston:
Thank you - this looks very helpful as I tackle the next steps.
[HTC Rezound] darkghost568:
Hey guys! I'm back!

Personally I'd just download the 3.14.605.12 RUU (The one you neeed for JBear S-Off), relock your bootloader if you're S-On, rename it to PH98IMG, place on root of external sd card, boot into bootloader, press volume up to confirm and let it flash.

Here's a link to the RUU: https://rapidshare.com/#!download|8...roidPolice_3.14.605.12_PH98IMG.zip|627658|0|0

Me too
[HTC Rezound] tgelston:
Apologies here - it was late :)

Ok - .12 RUU is downloading. In the directions on the page it mentions you need to be relocked. I can do that in Bootloader right? is that SIMLOCK option?

I
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
Not SIM lock. The bootloader needs to be locked. Go into fastboot and run "fastboot oem lock".
[HTC Rezound] tgelston:
I see and my bad, I see DarkGhost did mention that in his steps.

Can I use terminal to push the file onto the SDcard?

Thanks.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
You could, but you have to know the right directory

I(you) did it

HOLY F and N - I have updated firmware and ROM on my phone. YES! YES!

That will do for now even though all those verizon apps are buring my eyes - Huge thanks to everyone that helped me through this, sometime next week I will tackle the S-Off stuff.
[HTC Rezound] darkghost568:
We'll be here if you need us for S-Off help! :)

Please hit thanks if I helped!

I won't! :D

Good work guys. Congrats tgelston!

We're here for you buddy, must hit the thanks button, that's all we need :D S-Off is such a liberating feeling lol

Ready to s-off?
[HTC Rezound] tgelston:
maybe next week - everything is working fine for the moment and I just have lots on my plate at the moment, writing content for http://digital.photorecommendations.com/recs/, but I will be back- I promise :)

Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] darkghost568:
This week? :)
[HTC Rezound] tgelston:
I think so ;) I believe I am just going to try following the directions below. Do I need to unlock my phone first? it relocked when I updated the ROM/firmware.
[HTC Rezound] wlmeng11:
Yes, unlock again.

After the procedure it will say s-off locked.

That is normal, make sure you flash jbear hboot.

Sent from my HTC Rezound
[HTC Rezound] tgelston:
OK I have unlocked phone (used Hasoon's all in one kit)

now I have jb_hboot.zip downloaded - I should stick that in some ADB folder and do the following?

Put the phone in fastboot mode, then run the follwoing commands:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip jb_hboot.zip
fastboot reboot

And then I . . . follow the instructions here

http://unlimited.io/juopunutbear.htm

but what the heck is "11. Run controlbear as admin(windows)" Is this something I am supposed to download?

[HTC Rezound] tgelston:
Oh and when do I root? (again)
[HTC Rezound] darkghost568:
Hey, who left me out of the party? :) Anyway, you reroot after your done flashing all your stuff including the rom; although many roms come pre-rooted.
[HTC Rezound] wlmeng11:
You need to be unlocked and rooted before running the S off utility.
[HTC Rezound] tgelston:
But I thought directions said to do the S-off you had to have a rooted phone.

At the moment I seem to have reflashed my phone.

I am unlocked and rooted - Hboot screen says TAMPERED and UNLOCKED

Trying to figure out how to get JBoot thing ma bob on my phone.
[HTC Rezound] darkghost568:
Yeah, I know; I just figured you were already rooted (as every android user should be).
[HTC Rezound] tgelston:
can I put the jb_hboot.zip on my phone and boot in recovery and choose flash zip from SD card?
[HTC Rezound] wlmeng11:
No, you can't even do that if you're s off already.
[HTC Rezound] darkghost568:
Just follow controlbear's instructions
[HTC Rezound] darkghost568:
Any luck? :)
[HTC Rezound] tgelston:
Got to the wire trick part and haven't had any luck yet. Too busy again, have a rooted phone with wireless tether running so I am happy enough for the time being. Will try again at some point in the future.

Will post back here when I am successful.

[HTC Rezound] darkghost568:
Ok, and if your wondering what wire you should use I, personally, just bent a paperclip to my needs.
[HTC Rezound] KelpoOrganic:
When i try to open the zip, it says its invalid. Is that supposed to happen? The md5 sums match up though.
[HTC Rezound] darkghost568:
What are you opening the zip through? Recovery?
[HTC Rezound] KelpoOrganic:
No, just through my computer.
[HTC Rezound] darkghost568:
I don't know; maybe try and redownload it? If you still get the same error then you know it's the computer and not the zip, because I can confirm it works, so try and flash it anyway.

Report back your findings. I'm interested. :cool:
[HTC Rezound] KelpoOrganic:
nvm, i can open it through 7zip, but do i have to extract the boot img and flash it through flash boot if im S-ON?
[HTC Rezound] darkghost568:
Yes, but only if your S-On.
[HTC Rezound] darkghost568:
Did it work for you?

[HTC Rezound] kopower:
Alright, I'm gonna hijack this thread a bit. I'm on the .10 ICS leak. Looking to finally root my Rezound. Am I to understand, I should be on the .12 leak before I begin? Also, will Hasoon's all in one toolkit work with the ICS leaks?

Thanks in advance. I've been searching a number of different forums, and couldn't find a definite answer. Locked bootloader, s-on, fully stock
[HTC Rezound] Kelton Rivas:
Do you have a gtalk?
[HTC Rezound] kopower:
I do not
[HTC Rezound] darkghost568:
Yes, you should be on. 12 leak, and the toolkit will work. I recommend you S-Off on the .12 leak before you update to 4.03.605.2.
[HTC Rezound] kopower:
Appreciate the quick feedback. I've already downloaded the .12 leak, and will flash it this weekend. Looks like there's plenty of info on how to s-off, so I'll tackle that as well. So are you saying once I'm running the .12, I will be able to receive the .2 update? I've downloaded that as well. Or are you meaning that is the newest leak, and if I want, I can update?
[HTC Rezound] dyetheskin:
don't bother waiting to receive anything. he's referring to the ruu that gives latest everything. hboot/radios/firmware etc. makes everything global
[HTC Rezound] darkghost568:
Exactly
[HTC Rezound] kopower:
Thanks again. I successfully rooted, and s-off'd. I then loaded the .2 RUU. I was a little worried because that one took awhile, and it seemed to be stuck on updating, and unzipping on the third step of the process.

However, I just noticed I lost root. I'm assuming I installed the incorrect .2 RUU? So, is it possible just to use the toolkit, and use the permroot to regain root once again?

Also, for some reason, I keep getting an error when I try and boot into recovery. Again, I'm assuming I have to flash that again as well?
[HTC Rezound] darkghost568:
Yes, and yes. Personally I've had trouble restoring nandroid backups from amon ra recovery. So I switched to TWRP; no problems thus far. Don't use the version of TWRP included in the toolkit, download the latest one (v4.5) from xda here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1902381 and place in "flash your own recovery" in the toolkit.
[HTC Rezound] kopower:
Thanks. I'll try that when I get home from work. Is there a certain .2 RUU I should re-flash, or just use the one I have, and use toolkit to unlock the bootloader, download the new version of TWRP, and perm root from there? I have noticed the reception jumps from 4G to nothing quite a bit. Maybe just start from scratch?

Edit* Looks the the reception has stabalized now. Just had to reboot a few times.
[HTC Rezound] darkghost568:
Correct. You are on the latest global firmware, no need to re-ruu. From then on your golden.

Awesome man. Thanks for the help. That was easy. Finally rooted again, and ready to throw on a custom rom. Any recommendations on a daily driver with good battery life? I'm still new to flashing kernels and such, so I have a bit more reading to do on that to make sure I don't f-up anything on the phone.
[HTC Rezound] darkghost568:
As in my signature I like Project Rachel v1.1 for a ASOP rom with snuzzo's funky Kernel and ViperRez 1.0.3 as a sense Rom with DSB's Cubed kernel 2.3.9.
[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
I would start by flashing Joel or Snuzzos kernels when you start playing with kernels. They're like Ron Popeil's rotisserie, you just set it and forget it.

DSB's is more like a commercial gas stove with 30,000 BTUs, its VERY powerful and has a ton of features, think gas stove with a USB port and CNC porkchop deboning. It's got a ton of features so after you get comfortable playing with kernels and CPU control apps, you'll be better prepared for tuning DSBs kernel to your liking.
[HTC Rezound] kopower:
So are the kernels included in the roms, or do I download those seperate. I just want to get the process right. It looks like I'm supposed to flash the rom first, then reboot into bootloader to flash the kernel? Also, what is a good way to verify the md5 of the file, once on the computer? I already have Astro for my phone. Is it safe to trust the md5 from the thread with the rom?
[HTC Rezound] darkghost568:
Correct. I know I shouldn't do this but personally I never check the md5 of files and nothing bad has happened to me yet. I'd you really want just search around xda and you'll find something.
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
Search for WinMD5 to check md5's in Windows. If you've purchased Root Explorer, you can verify them on device by long pressing the file and choosing properties.

To be honest, there's not much danger in flashing files if you aren't s-off...there's basically nothing you can do to permabrick if you're still s-on. You can soft brick and have a hell of a time recovering, but you can recover.

Does anyone know how to get this on our phone? Or if our phone s even capable of running S-Beam?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Pony Express:
It requires NFC which is not supported on the Infuse. (or wi-fi direct)

Some specs on the S-2 show NFC as an option. Not sure, but that may mean buying a battery that NFC is built into such as the S-3, and then installing the nfc.service and nfc.test apk. Only a guess.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] judarriend:
Recently rooted Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1. As of now I'm running Cyanogen Mod 10. Before that I was using Cyanogen Mod 9.0. However I've experienced the same issue with both roms. My favorite apps wouldnt open. However Google play store works so I figured its not my gapps.

1) Spotify- just shows a blank screen nothing else.

2) Evernote- not able to create the database file and tells me to restart the device and make sure my memory card isn't full.

3). Lecture Note- App needs a directory at the media/shared/external storage (SD card) to store the notebook.

So just by searching the forum and not seeing much on the topic, I figured I missed something in the process.

I don't use titanium backup and neither am I familiar with it. But if I have to learn then please tell me so.

I've always wiped before flashing roms.

I know CM 10 is a nightly and all that jive but I really like it. But without apps working then it is useless for me.

Oh and not sure if this is related but every download from a hyperlink on a web page results in a download unsuccessful.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mohamedselim:
May be try to reflash rom again latest nightly for your specific device + flash gapps jellybean not ics + full wipe after flashing those (wipe cash+wipe dalvik cash in advanced options)

If not working so try wipe data of apps you want in setting

If not so send messages to developers may be their apps not compatible with jellybean need update

Netflix

My device P5113 4.04 stock

I rooted using this : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1657056 but now netflix will load up, and I go to play a video and load forever then i get error 11003(note netflix works fine on my phone/ps3).

Does any body know a fix for this?

The original reason i rooted was to attempt to move the notification bar to the top (i hate it at the bottom b/c I constantly hit buttons). So i tried to do this:

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/18063-move-the-status-bar/

and I broke android(would not boot, go only a black screen) b/c i added this to the file, because i didn't find it, so i had to reinstall.

So my other question is is there anyway to move the status/notification bar to the top? Im about to go back to stock but, i will root again if i can fix netflix.

Hi,

I tried to install the original ROM by TWRP but the process stopped and the kindle fire rebooted.

Now it is stucked on orange boot logo.

When I try to invoke ANY command on KFU, on the screen appears the message <waiting for device>

When I try to invoke ANY "fastboot" command manually, on the screen appears the message <waiting for device>

If I delete the windows drivers and plug the device, I can see the memory but I can't read the content and I can't write any file.

If I install the drivers from the KFU folder (install_drivers.bat), the devices is recognized correctly by the system, but I can't see the memory on pc resources(only on system)

Anyone has some ideas or suggestions in order to install TWRP or the original ROM On my kindle?

Could I solve my problem by a factory cable?

Thanks in advance
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinfauns:
It's going to be important for you to figure out where your device is in the booting process when it gets stuck...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1668159

If by "memory" you mean the storage area in the /sdcard partition and it can be mounted on the desktop, you are not going to be in fastboot mode. If it's trying to boot into the system software but it doesn't quite get there, you need to see if you can use an appropriate "adb shell" command to change the bootmode to fastboot. If you can't do that, your next best option is probably to get a factory cable and see if your bootloader can be put into fastboot mode. If what I just said in this paragraph doesn't make any sense to you, take a good look at the guide mentioned in the beginning of the post above.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alchemist:
Thanks a lot for your answer...

The "memory" are the storage area of my Kindle, and it can be mounted on the desktop but is not accessible.

I have tried to boot the system in all fastboot mode (4000, 4002, 5001) but the system shows the <waiting for device> message. I have tried to activate the fastboot also using "adb" command, but I have the same result.

I could reinstall TWRP or the original ROM with the factory cable? When I plug my kindle by the factory cable my pc can communicate with it?
