fubar?

I shouldnt of messed with my phone new to htc and this s-on/s-off stuff. Is my phone totally bricked? Is there a way to flash a different hboot? I beleive thats how i messed it up is when i tried to flash the older rom, it also installed older hboot or something cuz right after the rom flashed it sent me to the hbbot and im stuck there. I usually dont post or ask questions but i cant fix this myself. Can someone offer any input? If its totally done for just lemme know plz so i dont sit here all day trying to fix it for nothing.
[HTC Rezound] apophis9283:
The appropriate thing to have done would have been for you to STOP what you were doing and WAIT for someone to help you. Instead of screwing up your phone further. Now. If you are going to repost, you must explain in detail the steps you took that borked your phone. Again if you were confused about something you should have WAITED.............
[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
Your phone is perfectly fine there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. Apophis was spot on, you just need to flash the boot.IMG

Go to hboot by holding power and vol down and tell us what version hboot is and what version radios you have.

Then we can advise you on what rom to flash and help you install the boot.img.

Most importantly slow down and take a breather.
[HTC Rezound] apophis9283:
Charliestheman, I think I am going to update the OP to #<INCLUDE> If you are confused on what you are doing STOP! You could potentially make things worse and someone will get back with you as soon as possible.
[HTC Rezound] apophis9283:
This is probably one of those times that you should have read the OP. On AOSP internal sd card = EMMC and EXT sd = SD. With that being said Wifi issues have been fixed you need to be more specific. GPS has been shaky for some people is it not getting a lock? AND bluetooth again, if you would have read the OP doesnt work. Well for voice calls anyway.
[HTC Rezound] N3RD420:
you guys rock

ok, i have made some progres.. I removed the external sd card and i am now able to boot into recovery and locate the nandroid i made of the stock rom. except i get an md5 mismatch when trying to restore it. hboot= 2.25.0000 radio= 1.22.10.0421r/1.22.10.0424r

i appreciate you guys help.
[HTC Rezound] platinumthomas:
Thanks for replying. I did forget to add that I grabbed the boot.img file from the zip and moved it to PH89IMG.zip and loaded that in the bootloader.

When I go to turn on Wifi, the message is "Turning Wi-fi on..." I moved the models folder from the zip to system/libs, but nothing changed after I rebooted the phone.

Bluetooth shows "Turning Bluetooth on..." I haven't tried making any calls since it doesn't turn on.

GPS never gets a lock. I had both GPS options selected in Location services. I had my phone sitting on my dash and was driving in my car for about 30 mins.

I get the "Damaged SD card" message when the phone boots up. When I go into Storage, I get the message "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped." I pretty sure that the phone is pointing to the internal storage, but I can see all files on my phone with ES File Explorer. When I turn on USB storage, my PC can see the SD, but not the internal memory. I restored my nandriod to Clean ROM, and I can see the internal memory and I didn't get this message.

I'm not sure what I missed from OP.
[HTC Rezound] hergo011:
Help. complete noob. :/

I was using my phone and the battery ran really low and it died. I went to turn it on, and it wouldn't turn on, so i charged the battery for a good hour. I press the power button and it vibrates, but the screen stays black.

after that i tried doing a hard reset, so with the phone in that black screen, i took the battery out so it would turn off. Put it back in, followed the instructions for hard reset from the VZW website (without turning the phone on, because i'm still unable to do so), and nothing happened at all. I gave it a couple tries and still nothing.

Then i took the battery out, put it back in, pressed the power button. I felt it vibrate again like last time. So in this post-vibrate state, without removing the battery, while the screen is still black with no power on, i did the hard reset. It vibrated and then now the 4 touch buttons at the screen illuminated, and the backlight turned on, but the screen itself was still black.

Ive never rooted this phone or anything, can anyone help me out??
[HTC Rezound] apophis9283:
There are fixes for most of that stuff.
[HTC Rezound] apophis9283:
Try letting it charge overnight
[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
Hergo011 I would try a different charger and cable. I've run into similar issues like that and that's how I was able to revive it.

Having an issue with the music on my rezound running team bamf 's vigor360 rom. It's not looking through my external sd card for music, only internal and that memory space isn't enough for my library.
[HTC Rezound] robertc88:
Trying to get adobe flash on the rezound after I did the software update for ICS. I manged to get it on all my devices with ICS with the help of applicable XDA forums for those individually so that just leaves the rezound as the last one.

I have had to use different web browers than the defaults and I don't care which I need so long as I can get flash. An apk file would be most helpful to download and install.

Thanks alot!
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
You should be able to install this straight out of the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.adobe.flashplayer
[HTC Rezound] apophis9283:
Since this is my thread and i want to go off topic..lol i am syncing team bamf aosp build called paradigm now. This should be epic.
[HTC Rezound] robertc88:
Thanks and I thought I could but I see no listing in the G store for Abobe Flash and the link you supplied does not work either.
[HTC Rezound] hergo011:
okay so i think i figured it out..

Okay so i posted a message about how my phone wont turn on, but my brother works with them, and he told me my HBoot is corrupted. He said that he can run gingerbread exe on my phone to bring it back, but the problem is it wont allow him to downgrade, and right now, ICS only has a .zip meaning the phone has to be up and running, which is what the issue is anyways. Does anyone know where to get an ICS .exe for a rezound? or how i can just hook it up to my computer, and reformat and delete everything off of it, and then re-install an OS? I'm not sure what's actually doable at this point.. :/ thank you.
[HTC Rezound] apophis9283:
Dude if your hboot is corrupt the phone is borked. Did you modify it. Take any strings out or add any?
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
He can always try my unbrick method. I think that'll fix a corrupt hboot.
[HTC Rezound] apophis9283:
It wont if hes taken any strings out or added any. I had the issue when i first tried to hex edit hboots. That fix wouldnt work. Even had con helping
[HTC Rezound] hergo011:
The phone has never been rooted or anything like that, it just one day all of a sudden bricked, so nothing should be missing. What is the unbrick method that the other user was talking about above your post? thanx for the help
[HTC Rezound] apophis9283:
Antp is the shiznit when it comes to that. Im gonna let him take it from here
[HTC Rezound] hergo011:
if you have a method i would love to see it, it would be a huge help... i never rooted or did anything to the phone, it just one day all of a sudden went nuts. so if you have a link, or can post a reply that would do a world of help. thanx.

Quick question...

Currently running ViperRez 1.03, was running RezRom S4 v2.4 (Was my first custom ROM). I did the JuopunutBear method of S-off, rooting, etc.. My HBOOT is currently 2.11 which I have read is the GB version.. I have not had any issues to speak of with this HBOOT version.

So basically i want the latest Kernel by Joel (BAMF Vigor Kernel[3.0.46]). Can this be done on the 2.11 HBOOT or do I need 2.27?
[HTC Rezound] apophis9283:
Hboot had to do with mounting points. If i were you id update but you should be fine. Firmware>rom>kernel.
[HTC Rezound] laseroxstar:
i need help updating my firmware to latest ota ..global to be exact.. im currently running vipers102.....point me to the right direction please..thanks in advance
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
Stick this on the root of your SD card. Rename it to PH98IMG.zip and reboot to boot loader. Then update.

[HTC Rezound] laseroxstar:
ok im not s-off either will that be an issue....steps im doing is relocking hboot then doing the update..correct me if im wrong

---------- Post added at 02:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:25 PM ----------

nevermind last post ...gotta s-off..thanks
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
To run an RUU you don't need to s-off

welp...i'm in trouble again...while on RAGE LINARO I found out that my radio was outdated...so I updated it to the one i'm seeing in a lot of people's signatures:

CDMA Radio: 2.22.10.0801r

LTE Radio: 2.22.10.0803r

used this thread here ==> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1862311 and got the latest OTA Radio.

Now I have no 4G. 3G works fine...but no 4G..changed settings and such..nothing...even on stock HTC Sense 4G doesnt want to come on...

common..I had better luck using a GB radio here! ==> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1612555 (the latest GB OTA one)

using LTE switch from the play store and forcing it to "LTE ONLY" gives a x sign near my signal...what the f*$k

please help me out D:

Boot into Hboot and do a factory reset from there
[HTC Rezound] stanleyopar2000:
It takes me to AR recovery.

Same thing as pushing 'recovery'
[HTC Rezound] apophis9283:
Its going to. Only time you can perform a factory reset from hboot is when stock recovery is installed.
[HTC Rezound] stanleyopar2000:
Oh crap...how to.do stock recovery??
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Find an RUU and extract the recovery.img

Or someone who has access to an RUU can get one and upload it for you
[HTC Rezound] stanleyopar2000:
okay...then push it via ADB commands......

I forgot which command I use I think it's

"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

after I wipe using HBOOT this will fix my 4G problem....heh....right? :crying:...and this wipe won't wipe my SD card right?..i'll pop it out just to be safe

I've never had to do this in regards to updating a radio
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Fastboot, not ADB. Make sure you have it booted into Hboot then select fastboot then type that command. I have no idea if it will wipe your SD, so definitely take it out. It's a known fix for 4G issues for this phone though

Edit: Apoph, why did you take my gtalk out of the OP? :(
[HTC Rezound] stanleyopar2000:
I got it!..did all you said now I have 4G with the radio that everyone else is on :3

thank you so much guys!..and thank you for your speedy assistance..

thanks for all of you :3

[HTC Rezound] stanleyopar2000:
got my 4G working with a factory wipe..but i'm still having a problem with calls not wanting to connect periodically (says "dialing" forever until it says "call has been lost" then a re-call works) and text messages will say SENDING forever. i have to resend it and then it works. I'm on AOSP RAGE 1.8

I have the newest OTA ICS radio (look at the previous post I had with 4G issues after updating to it) so it can't be an outdated radio

I have a feeling it's this s$#t antenna on the battery door causing this.......either way..it's extremely frustrating D:<

right now...i'm staring at the words "SENDING" for 5 minutes...and why I have to be tortured like this
[HTC Rezound] apophis9283:
The rezound has amazing reception. Check the rom. Try a couple. See if that makes a difference. Neo is my friend but some phones act different on different roms.
[HTC Rezound] dyetheskin:
this is true. nothing wrong with mine but it hates running aosp based roms
[HTC Rezound] stanleyopar2000:
every custom ROM that i've thrown on it has this issue: when you call voicemail or call someone...the network decides it wants to be a **** and suddenly drop. even sending texts sometimes they will say SENDING and never send.

perfectly working 3G / 4G data...but as soon as you want to take advantage of cellular services..NOPE.

Flash 2.27 hboot?

Having trouble with my new insurance replacement rezound it's running latest .12 firmware and I've unlocked it so far and installed recovery

tried installing juopunutbear via fastboot commands and that didn't work, renaming PH98IMG via bootloader also doesn't seem to work...

I'm really just trying to avoid doing the 'wire trick'... found the 2.27 hexedited boots and the same thing happens, bootloader says it's 'parsing' the file then the next second i'm back on the menu selection in bootloader with no error and obviously now hboot flash

help?

TIA
[HTC Rezound] apophis9283:
You have to be s-off to do that. There is no " avoiding " the wire trick.
[HTC Rezound] igonzalez04:
A little help if you may...

eh...i used to be a pro messing (rooting and roms) with my eris, but have had a replacement since then. I tried an aosp rom on my rezound but seem to be stuck on a bootloop (white htc screen). im s-on btw. I nandroided my previous rom but can't seem to get to recovery. my phone goes into bootloader and goes straight into the image update thing then reboots no matter what i choose. I need to get to recovery to get to my previous rom. What do i need to do?
[HTC Rezound] apophis9283:

[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
Delete the ph98img.zip off your external sdcard to get to recovery

Or place phone upside down in left hand with headphone jack pointing away from body. Hboot only checks for that file on power up. Remove the battery cover, leave it of for this. Remove battery, slide sdcard almost all the way out. Place bottom of battery in place so four contacts are touching but you can reach sdcard. Power on phone using power and vol down which goes straight to hboot, then when it comes on just press sdcard into slot, set battery down so as not to lose power, choose recovery and rock and roll. First thing to do in Amon RA recovery is go to developer menu and there is an option to delete PH file from your sdcard

Restore your backup and s off that sucker, will save you lots of trouble
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
igonzalez,

The problem you are having is that since you are S-on, the appropriate AOSP kernel needed for the AOSP rom you're flashing is not being flashed. What you will need to do, is fastboot flash the kernel after you have flashed the rom.

Basically, after you flash the aosp rom, you will need to reboot into the bootloader.

Once there, you will need to plug your phone up to your computer and ensure that you are in "Fastboot USB" mode on your phone. Your computer will also need adb and fastboot. Additionally, you will need to pull the boot.img located in the root of the rom zip you are flashing and paste it into the same folder that you have fastboot on your pc. You will then need to open a cmd prompt and change your directory to reflect that of the boot.img and fastboot.

Finally, you will need to type the following command: fastboot flash boot boot.img

then hit enter and it will flash the kernel for you. After this, rebooting your phone should get you into the rom.

PM me if you have any further problems with this process.

-Neo

---------- Post added at 12:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:37 PM ----------

or plug your phone into the charger from the wall and if you take the battery out in hboot it will remain on lol

Easier then trying to keep the battery contacts in and slide the sd card around. I learned that the hard way :)
[HTC Rezound] apophis9283:
Needed a place to vent seeing this is my thread ill do it here. I am so pissed. So much I want to do but its above my paygrade. I cant stabilize my Fu***** kernel. I still have project rachel I may decide to build off that. Some of the stuff I want to do I dont have the knowledge. I spend Hours and hours at my computer trying to bring everyone the most awesome rom and because of my knowledge limit I am having trouble doing so. F***
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
Join the club.

I love to make new things that people like, but I don't understand the hardcore coding stuff. (I can do basic XML edits) I can do themes and basic ROM stuff; I want to do more. My lack of understanding for the deeper stuff limits me and it is really frustrating.
[HTC Rezound] apophis9283:
I usually figure it out after a week, then like some says oh, it should have only taken a couple minutes
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
:)

For me, I either know it or I don't.

If I know it, it goes really fast. If I don't, I go for hours until I give up. (Usually because I fix one error and get 2 more)
[HTC Rezound] apophis9283:
Well I made an aosp kernel. I had no issues adding I/O schedulers and governors. But oh no OC has to be a BI***
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
Like I said, I either know it or I don't.

You seem similar. Schedulers and junk are fine, but that one thing is impossible.

Two-Year Contracts

Ok so here it goes, I have a two year contract on my HTC ReZound (which I'm completely in love with by the way) but Verizon just flat out sucks and I'm tired of their crappy service. My phone is unlocked and perm-rooted with ViperRez, and I have about 18 more months left on my contract and I absolutely REFUSE to pay the ETF (or the rest of my bill for that matter). So my question is this, since my phone is unlocked, is my contract terminated? Or can I simply go and buy a new SIM card and be on my merry way? Thanks in advance for the help!
[HTC Rezound] apophis9283:
Not sure what youre asking, try to be a little clearer
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
So build it?

---------- Post added at 06:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:17 AM ----------

You're outta luck dude. The ETF is because they provided you a $600+ device at a very subsidized cost with the intention of getting that money back through a 2 year contract via months worth of paying service. Unlocking your phone does not terminate your contract. Throwing your phone in the trash or even trying to return it does not terminate your contract. If you want out, you pay. Since you have 18 months left, I'm assuming at best it's in the neighborhood of about $60-$80 per month and for 18 months a grand total of over $1,000 still having to pay them. It's that or the etf up front and even then there is no guarantee your phone will work on another network or that the new network provider will allow a Verizon phone to be used with their service.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Well if you refuse to pay the remaining balance and ETF it WILL go into collections. First to their in house collections and then sold off to another company. Either way your credit will be getting a nice black mark on it cause of your actions. You had 2 weeks to test out the service and take advantage of the WFG yet you stuck with the service. If you ignore the ETF and remaining balance you won't be able to sell your phone since it will be stuck on your account for awhile. If you really want to terminate you will have to deal with the fees end of story. You can talk with their financial services and pay it over time as opposed to all at once. Good luck.
[HTC Rezound] Insidious:
Don't give up man. It takes time to learn how to dev. There were so many projects I gave up back in my droid 2 days because I had no idea what I was doing. Trust me, even if you feel frustrated, at least you're trying. The more devs we have the better.
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
It's funny you should respond to this now as he is testing the kernel this very second ;)

[HTC Rezound] Gornul:
Having some serious data connectivity issues. Running the exact same firmware as my wife's Rezound, holding the two phones together, she has full bars 3g and I have none. This happens lots of places. Sometimes it takes multiple reboots to recover my signal at all, after leaving the area where I had none.

I've tried switching our battery covers, nothing. I've done dozens of factory resets across several different roms, nothing. Is this hopeless?
[HTC Rezound] apophis9283:
Look at the hardware revisions
[HTC Rezound] Gornul:
Where would I find that? I'm running CM9 and she's stock RUU rooted.
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
Find out what Radio Version you are both on. Go into your About Phone on both devices and post the "Baseband Version" here. It's quite possible that you may need to update your radio. (unless of course hers is older)
[HTC Rezound] Gornul:
Both of us show "0.95.00.1118r, 0.95.00.1223r".
