Lost LTE

All,

I am running NEOs Infection 2.4. Been great. Never really had any issues. However, over the last 2-3 days, I have noticed I never get LTE, I am ALWAYS stuck on 3g. I have rebooted, cycled Cellular Data off and on, and cycled the LTE option in the settings ribbon, but nothing happens. I have a couple of co-workers that have 4g verizon phones, and at the office, they have 4g, but I can no longer get 4g service. Does anyone have any suggestions of setting to try. I called Verizon tech support, and they claim that they can see in my "log" over the last couple of days" that I have cycled between 3g and 4g. They claim I was on 4g, and then from about 9 am till 6 (interesting, right) only 3g. But, I am skeptical of the "log" since last night, I checked and I never went to 4g, and when I left my house the morning, and for the ride to work, I checked my phone approxiamtely every 3-5 minutes, and never had 4g.

Thanks
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
Try doing a hard reset; ie: pull the battery out while the phone is powered on, wait about a minute, reinsert the battery then power it back on. If still no 4G, try flashing over to a sense rom and see if your 4G is restored. If not, then there is a problem with your device "hardware-wise".

I'm wondering if the problem I'm having is software or hardware in nature. My Rezound goes wonky sometimes. Half freezes, stutters, jumps around, has what I call 'phantom fingers' in that things get touched on the screen randomly while I just stare at it. I have to turn off the screen and then turn back on and sometimes that fixes it. It works normally for long stretches too.

Android 4.3.1 (Liquid Smooth ROM) JB-v2.37-Official
[HTC Rezound] Uzephi:
It is a mix of both. Some boards dont play well with certain roms. Just try different ones
[HTC Rezound] chromeops:
So what's the consensus as the best JB rom for the Rezound?
[HTC Rezound] Uzephi:
It depends on the mainboard your rezound has in it. Try carbon, LS gave me the same issues, and Carbon works on my rez
[HTC Rezound] nerdyessence:
So I'm attempting to root the Rezound but the PH98IMG.zip (using TWRP 2.6.3.0) gives me the error message "Main Version is Older! Update Fail! I've tried flashing with command prompt and get this:

[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
I am pretty sure your doing it wrong... Extract the recovery.img file from the ZIP and place it in your Platform-Tools directory, then use the command:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

BTW, TWRP 2.7.0.0 is out and stable, why not just use that? It's on TeamWin's official site (remember our phone is the "vigor") and you don't actually have to FLASH any recovery, you can just boot it and do what you need to do without modifying the recovery image.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
[MENTION=4810039]nerdyessence[/MENTION]

On that version hboot you need to place PH98IMG(zip extension) on root of external for bootloader flashing OR extract recovery.img out the zip and use flashify.

I tried rumrunner and got this...

2.7.0.1 is there also. This is from Fly's TWRP thread.
[HTC Rezound] nerdyessence:
I have no idea what I did but I was able to install TWRP recovery but when I reboot I get stuck at the HTC white screen. I'm guess that I need to adb flash the boot.img - correct?
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Probably. Extract boot.IMG file file from rom zip and flash manually.
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
[MENTION=4810039]nerdyessence[/MENTION] after doing this and booting into the ROM, try t run a root required app. If you still don't have root access, install supersu then open it. If still nothing, reboot into recovery and then from within recovery reboot into system and TWRP may attempt a root exploit for you.

If you have established root access, make sure you have working ADB and fastboot. Then try again to initiate the correct version of rum runner for your software version (if you're wanting s-OFF and unlock).

[HTC Rezound] nerdyessence:
I was able to boot the boot.img via adb but now I'm stuck in a bootloop. I'm running your ROM Tachyon. Should I reflash the boot.img again? I was going to try and run the rumrunner again once I was able to get out the bootloop.
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
You should fastboot flash boot boot.img the boot.img that comes in the rom zip. Make sure that when you flash the rom you do a factory reset and system wipe first.
[HTC Rezound] nerdyessence:
Was able to successfully root and s-off the Rezound. Thanks to anybody that replied to my questions and helped me out. You have no idea how much I appreciate it. :o

Just a little question: is it possibleto root rezound without unlock bootloader?
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Yes. Why would you want to do this? Wouldn't be able to have proper init.d support, no ability to flash custom recovery and no custom kernels. What would be the fun in that?!
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
Whether you unlock it/root it or not, it will not void your warrant. Hasn't been that way in a long time. Besides, does anyone have a Rezound under warranty any more these days? :)
[HTC Rezound] chromeops:
Sounds

I don't get any sounds from phone calls or text messages. I used to, and I don't remember making any particular changes other than using the volume rocker. It does vibrate when I get a call or message. I get sound from my alarm and music will play out of the speaker like normal. I tried all the areas I know of to check the sound. Tried changing the ringer tone for instance and while it changes to whatever I set it at, I do not get a preview.

I'm running liquid smooth ROM and for the most part I like it but if I can't fix this I guess I'll have to try something else.
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
Check to make sure you didn't switch to a silent profile. If not, Reflash the rom. If it continues to happen, flash something else.
[HTC Rezound] chromeops:
Damn, that was it! Appreciate the response.
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
I've seen it happen before ;) Glad the problem is solved.

Swap File Kernel

I recently, (within 2 months) flashed your Tachyon ROM and I have to say, I love it. It's my favorite one going back to when I had an Eris. I don't get on here as much as I used to so I'm way behind on the latest info. That being said, I just saw today that people were expanding their RAM with their SD cards and I thought that sounded pretty sweet, especially since I use my Rezound for EVERYTHING. I wanted to expand my RAM but using ROEHSOFT's swapfile checker, I'm told that your kernel doesn't support it. Is there a kernel out there for the Rezound that does?
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
I'm glad you enjoy it and only wish the camcorder issue could have been resolved prior to the release of my update (most likely next week).

This sounds like a question for the kernel king [MENTION=3419683]Snuzzo[/MENTION] ;)
[HTC Rezound] coqui301:
Camcorder issue?

What is the issue with the Camcorder? I use it quite a bit and don't have problems with it.
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
There isn't with the version you are on as it is JB based. However, Tachyon-2.0 is KK based and camcorder is broken. Camera works fine though.
[HTC Rezound] coqui301:
Nevermind

Scratch that. I checked it out and when I tried to record a quick video just now, it locked up and won't connect to the camera. First time that happened to me.

Now it's back to normal.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
[MENTION=5732073]coqui301[/MENTION]

Would need an external sdcard with about 512MB swap partition. Kernel has the capability. Make sure you got at least a class 4 card for clean operation.
[HTC Rezound] coqui301:
Kernel

I figured the kernel could do it. Is there an app you recommend or should I just go ahead and do it manually? I saw several apps in the Play Store.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...hovNVI5NTq125JhhQ&sig2=in0Lojv0ghByuMpvke_uQQ

There's an option without reformatting your sdcard but you may want to create a flashable zip to setup a rom.
[HTC Rezound] coqui301:
Sweet.

There's an option without reformatting your sdcard but you may want to create a flashable zip to setup a rom.

Sounds good. Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] BrahManty:
So it's been a long time since I've done any modding on my Rezound. I tried to go back to stock back when I bought my One and kept getting stuck in bootloops. I'm currently about to switch to Tmobile and want to get this thing working again so I can give it to them instead of the One, which I would like to keep.

Basically, I was on some AOSP rom (I think) and wanted to go back to my Nandroid backup of my stock rom, tried to flash it in recovery (TWRP 2.6.0.0) and that's when the bootloops started happening. The only backup I have on here is this stock rom that wont boot, so now I can't figure out any way of getting the phone to boot again. I am S-On. I do have an old Sense rom that's on my SD card, but I don't have any way of extracting the ph98img or getting one onto my SD card since I dont have a computer with an SD reader.

I'm really not sure how to go about fixing this issue, I'm really rusty on phone modding since it's been a long time since I've tried to do anything, so any help would be really appreciated.
[HTC Rezound] Uzephi:
With s-on, you need to fast boot flash the boot img...

The command from terminal on PC:

Fastboot flash boot boot.img
[HTC Rezound] BrahManty:
Well, I feel like a dumbass. Thanks for the help though. It's been so long I completely forgot using ADB was an option. Got ADB set up, pushed a newer CM11 to the phone and I just finished going S-off.

Just to make sure before I go through with it, this is an okay RUU to flash in order to go S-ON again right? http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ull-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/

So my process now should be to relock, then S-On? or S-On then relock? I'm a little confused on that part.
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
hboot flashing a RUU will not affect your S-OFF status. It will however return your recovery to stock and quite possibly relock the bootloader (unless the bootloader needs to be locked first before the RUU will flash).

There is a method for changing back to S-ON and a user named Scotty I believe has posted the method in the Rezound forums somewhere.

Not sure on the RUU you've linked to. I haven't done one for the Rezound in a very long time and have since then moved to another device which allows RUU flashing while s-off and unlocked so my memory might be clouded.
[HTC Rezound] BrahManty:
Yeah, I understand. I've got every step in the process done except for S-on. I'm currently on that RUU unrooted and with a locked bootloader (using Scotty's lock method).

All I have left to do is either reflash this RUU before going S-On (4.03.605.2) or somehow get my hands on the last official RUU (3.14.605.12) which seems to have disappeared from the internet. I don't think 4.03.605.2 should give me any problems, other than the fact that the phone will never be able to get the OTA update to the latest radios and firmware, I'm just trying to be cautious so I don't accidentally brick the phone when I s-on.

EDIT: Went through with s-on for the hell of it, and it didnt brick me. I'm completely back to stock, thanks for the help guys!
[HTC Rezound] bigperm20:
What is the diff between S-ON and S-OFF. What was the original developers reason for each option. It just seems overly complicated to me. Maybe I just don't get it yet.
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
S-On means boot loader security, and a few other securities for radios, partial /boot partition, and downgradability are on, only a digitally signed files from HTC can touch these areas.

S-Off means all security checks are off, you can flash anything, even a ROM for a Samsung Galaxy, if you choose too.

The obvious reason is to prevent unofficial tampering.

i change rom but not solved

[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Just turn off Auto-brightness in Display settings... disabling the sensors themselves takes some, ummm, finesse.

Auto-brightness is off

can i disable light sensor?
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Honestly, that is way above my knowledge level... If you disabled auto brightness, it shouldn't be doing anything anyway.
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
If auto brightness is disabled then your phone will not be cycling between becoming brighter and dimmer. Ensure that you have in fact disabled auto brightness. If this still persists I would lean towards your device being defective.

Phone dead, need correct ROM

Hello. My HTC Rezound decided to not boot as of last night (not long after I installed the Android Device Manager app). I can get to the bootloader, but for whatever reason the image wasn't on my SD card so it kept saying it can't mount the recovery folder on E drive. I tried a bunch of different stock ROM downloads, renamed them to PH98IMG.zip and put them on the root of the SD card. The bootloader would try to read it but it would say "Main image is older" every time. I really don't know what ROM to use but I know I had the latest OTA update. This is the info it shows in the bootloader:

I am no developer nor am I experienced with unlocking at all, just trying to get my phone working again. Any help would be appreciated! Verizon was worthless.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Try doing a factory reset.
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Try the factory reset... If that doesn't work your in a tough spot, you either have to get a replacement (by whatever means works for you), or you need to get your hands dirty, unlock the device, and try pushing stuff into it to make it work.

Although you were on the right track with the stock ROMs and renaming to PH98img.zip, unfortunately there is no current version full RUU file, and being S-On there is no downgrade path, so that option is out.
[HTC Rezound] SuperAwesome78:
Tried that, does the same thing as when I try a recover. It shows this picture of a phone and some green arrows for a minute, then it turns into another phone picture with a red '!'. When I do the volume up power button to bring up the menu it shows that it can't mount E drive and the recovery/log folder. Just tried it again and it won't automatically come back up after it reboots from the factory restore, probably because of all the different images I tried.

No full RUU file huh? That is bad news. I guess if unlocking the phone is my only chance of getting it to work I am willing to try.
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Can't mount is a bad error from a stock/locked device... This could mean a simple file system or format error, or be more severe like corrupt partition table or bad emmc. I have seen several Rezounds lately where the emmc (internal storage) chip has gone bad or corrupt beyond normal means of fixing it.

To continue troubleshooting you must go through the unlock process. Do that, then download the latest TWRP image, and a ROM and Gapps of choice and report back. Nothing further can be done in a locked state.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
I've forgotten everything!!!

Man, I'm lost right now.

I haven't flashed a ROM in over a year, I think almost 2 years. I'm s-on.

I used to use amonra but then at some point I switched to TWRP so I have v2.5.0.0 on my phone right now.

I run EclipticRez. Had v8(.1?) and am flashing v9 that I never got around to flashing before.

I'm having some issues with TWRP.

First of all, I was having trouble finding the zips I wanted to flash, including CleanWIPE but I did figure out what TWRP was calling the ext sdcard and ended up finding them, but when I couldn't find them I did a wipe using TWRP and then restored a nandroid. Then I hooked the Rez to my laptop to look for the files and add "zip" to them in case that's what was needed and I noticed that on phone sd card there were still apps that I had installed just 2 months ago but the nandroid was from well over a year ago. Why was my card not wiped?

And in advanced settings there's two internal sdcards listed and a micro sdcard as well. So how can I know which interal sdcard to choose???

Secondly, when I went to flash EclipticRez v9 I'm getting this message:

"This operation may install incompatible software and render your device unusable."

Guess I'll have to flash AmonRa.

Also, I normally have a 64gb ext card but I take that out and put in the 16gb card whenever I flash a ROM so I don't have to worry about all my stuff on the 64gb card. So on this 16gb card I found a zip the size of a ROM called Rezound_PH98IMG. I have no idea what that is! The last thing I flashed was EclipticRez v8 and I think the update. What can I look at in there to see what it actually is?

Lastly... does anyone remember all my passwords????????? :fingers-crossed::eek:
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
:fingers-crossed: Okay, so I went ahead and s-offed!!!

Then while in I fastboot I flashed AmonRa to replace TWRP. Everything went fine. Told phone to reboot to recovery and it went to TWRP! So I told it to reboot into system and it went into recovery but it was AmonRa! :confused:

Both were working. Is that really weird?

I flashed EclipticRez v9 and still I have folders from apps I installed a couple months ago. So now I really REALLY want to completely wipe EVERYTHING POSSIBLE. I really want to start completely fresh. I need to clean it all out since I was really having some issues.

If I run the global RUU - which I have run on this phone before - will it actually wipe everything?

WOW!!! I just went to bootloader, did "clear storage" and then it booted into TWRP. So I rebooted to bootloader and then rebooted to recovery and it went to TWRP. But I had just flashed a ROM using AmonRa!!!

Ugh. What is going on???

ETA: I think I figured out what happened. I had copied and pasted this command from some post rather than finding my notes from when I was doing all this stuff... "fastboot flash boot recovery.img" when it should have been "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" so I'm thinking it flashed the recovery into boot like Dumlock does? So when I tried to boot into system it went to AmonRa but booting into recovery went to TWRP. Does that seem right? Thankfully I didn't brick my phone!

If that's what it was, then do I have to do anything to get rid of it?

Now I've flashed AmonRa the correct way and I still don't know from the listing what I should do to completely wipe everything possible except the external sdcard. There's sdcard, sd-ext, and internal_sd. I think under mounts it just showed sdcard and sd-ext so perhaps in AmonRa internal_sd is the phone partition? :confused:

Would really like to format the internal sdcard to be sure it's clean if that's possible. Why doesn't a factory reset get rid of all traces of apps???

I don't know if anyone will every read this though...
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
If you are okay with wiping the phone 100% I would recommend an ruu. With s-off you don't need to worry about unlock and you can just fastboot flash recovery "name of recovery here". IMG

To fix the flash recovery to the boot partition just pull the boot.IMG from the ROM and type fastboot flash boot boot.img
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Yeah, that's exactly what I want, a complete wipe and complete fresh start. I don't know what was making my phone act up so I just want a blank slate.

If I RUU would wiping the boot beforehand and take care of that?

Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Running an RUU will wipe everything... No need to do any prep for it.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Thanks.

I ended up using CleanWipe and AmonRa to wipe everything, including boot, ran that RUU and then FINALLY got rid of all the old app stuff.

Oddly, even on the RUU I got a message that something stopped running... Seems that would be software related and not hardware though. Hopefully I don't have problems like I did before I reflashed.

Setting up my phone now after flashing the ROM. :D
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
So the RUU I ran was this one:

rezound_AndroidPolice_4.03.605.2_PH98IMG

It was a zip that I renamed and it ran when rebooting into bootloader. Is there a difference between running it this way and running the exe file using my pc? I have done that with the global leak way back when, when I switched to EclipticRez v8. (interestingly, before I did anything with my phone this time around I tried to check my mainvar and did "fastboot getvar all" and that line was empty. Now, after s-offing and running this other RUU I have a mainvar)

And I flashed EclipticRez v9.

So... now can I flash just the global update firmware to get the hboot and radios up to date?

I'm now s-off - but having used rumrunner it still says I'm unlocked. I don't think it matters... does it? And my mainvar doesn't matter anymore either, right? Or should I run a different RUU for any reason? I'm not going to be flashing ROMs, it took me almost two years to flash v9 of ERez! I just want to update the hboot/radios, customize it and use it.

[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Yes, there is definitely a difference... The exe RUU will format all partitions of the phone and write all information (except IMEI , serial numbers, etc) clean to the device, the ZIP (PH98img.zip method) is not a full RUU, it isn't really an RUU at all, just a big ROM zip and can even be flashed in TWRP (but ironically will overwrite it), it does a quick format (ie. erase) of a few partitions and writes new data, it is often recommended to do the PH98img method a minimum of 2 or 3 consecutive times to get a "clean" flash.

You are S-off, if you didn't know already what that means, it means that all security checks and safeguards are gone, or off (literally, Security Off)... Mainvar checks, upgrade/downgrade checks, even simple model compatibility checks are gone... You could flash TWRP from LG G2, a kernel from an Asus Zenfone, or the Hboot from an HTC One M8 and the phone would happily let you, and just as happily brick on the first boot.

Unlock or locked boot loader has some meaning, but not much since you are S-off. It shouldn't have any functionality difference.
