What is your favorite custom rom? And I am staying stock just because for some reason I seemed to have lost my ROOT since i tried flashing the OTA.
[HTC Rezound] Rdrgz:
Two Lockscreens CM10.1.2

Hello All, this is my first post, let me start by saying how completely AWESOME the Android (specifically the REZOUND) community is.

I recently flashed FlyHalf205's 10.1..2 rom and it works excellent. What an amazing difference from stock ICS.

Small problem: When I wake the phone, I have to unlock 2 lockscreens.

The first screen requires a simple tap on the lock icon.

The second screen presents me with the slider shortcuts, and unlocks after I slide to an icon.

I have scoured the settings menus. Tried to install Nova Launcher in hopes that Nova will override any system lockscreens, Even set Screen Security to 'None' (which completely removes BOTH lockscreens).

I'd like to have just the slider shortctuts, but will settle for tapping the lock icon. Thanks in advance my fellow Rezounders!
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
I believe what you've done is minimized the unlock option in that long pressing that lock icon will completely unlock and take you to your home screen. If you want it simply to press and slide over to unlock or shortcuts, you will need to uncheck that option in the lockscreen options.
[HTC Rezound] Rdrgz:
Settings > Lock Screen > Maximize Widgets = unchecked.

Can't believe that would add an extra lock screen.

Thanks IAmTheOneTheyCallNeo. :)

I used to very active in the Samsung Fascinate community (I know long time ago) and have since moved on to a iphone, I recently been furiously searching these forums for information because my mom's rezound software was very out of date (she was on gingerbread) so i updated her to a jelly bean rom ( Cm 10.1 and more recently Infection) however her battery is running very hot and draining very quickly and have used several kernel combos as well. Any help is appreciated
[HTC Rezound] Dancershrink:
Did you ruu to update radios, hboot, etc.?
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
Provided her phone is still locked, you can ruu the device straight up to the latest firmware and it will update everything.

Be forewarned however as it will wipe internal memory and possibly your sd card so make sure you back everything up for her.
[HTC Rezound] xXezmacXx:
I'm trying to get S-OFF, I just got my new Rezound in the mail. It's updated to the latest OTA from Verizon. I also just unlocked it using that HTCDev tool from HTC website. My last phone I was able to S-OFF using the wire trick and using that ControlBear application. I went back to Unlimited.IO and all they have is ControlBear for Ubuntu. Does anyone have it for Windows? I found ControlBear 0.1 but does anyone know if that'll work? If not can someone help me find the correct ControlBear for Windows please? Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
I don't believe control bear works anymore for windows :/

You will need to try doing it with linux (unless someone out there still has the windows version)
[HTC Rezound] xXezmacXx:
I think I have the windows version just not sure. I added a screenshot, is this it? I found it on some thread here just cant remember now. But the contents of the zip are: ControlBear.exe, jb_boot.img & jb_hboot.zip

Edit: Here is where I found ControlBear 0.1: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27764982&postcount=2079 I wanted to know if this will get me S-OFF?

I also checked my hboot, it says 2.28.

Edit 2: 0.1 worked, thx.
[HTC Rezound] Chuban7:
I left it S-On because i have no problem flashing the boot in fastboot, and i followed this to update the firmware http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=38527788&postcount=745 I even lowered the clock speed to like 900 mhz and lowered the voltages by like 50 i think. Thank You in advance.
[HTC Rezound] aaronc222:
So. I have a couple quick questions about the 4.03.605.2 update in the above post.

I'm not 100% with the Rezound. I've messed with an SG3, Droid X, and an Incredible 2 extensively (MIUI, CM...) but the Rezound is my fiancees. She just wants it to work and has no interest in running ROMs, rooting...

Last year I upgraded her to the then leaked ICS with hboot 2.25 and corresponding radio. She's continued having the same poor battery life etc that she had before I did that but didn't want her phone messed with since. She finally had enough recently and last week I dev unlocked it and was able to install Amon 3.16 and installed a 4.05.605.14 'Stock Rooted' ROM from the dev section. I was completely unsuccessful in getting the radio/hboot to update. The phone did not like any firmware.zip renamed to PH...zip that I tried and it's been working, but with minor random bugs and the same crappy battery life...

So now my questions.

1) Will the RUU referenced above (4.03.605.2) install over what I currently have? (hboot 2.25, dev unlock, amon ra 3.16, stock rooted 4.05.605.14 ROM)

2) Will it wipe data? (I know it probably will but I had to ask)
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
Has this been resolved? Or is it still running hot?

1) Yes it should

2) 99.99% sure it will wipe out your internal memory and 50/50 sure it will wipe out your sd card. Make sure you back everything up.
[HTC Rezound] Gornul:
It will wipe out absolutely everything, 100% confirmed. Just did it last week before selling my Rez to my brother.

(phoneposting)
[HTC Rezound] aaronc222:
Thanks for the quick responses. Last dumb question. Is this RUU an official/will receive VZW updates release? I'd rather just flash it and have it 100% stock on a VZW released update for her.

And extra thanks for the tip about it wiping the SD. I'll have to use my spare SD to run the update.
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
It's been a while since I've been on the most up to date RUU but quite honestly, I don't believe VZW will be pushing any OTA's to the Rezound beyond the ICS it's already on when you update. If they were however, I couldn't tell you if it would take an OTA or not as it's been forever since I've seen one take place on the Rezound.
[HTC Rezound] epy0nkaru:
is this the update that has hboot 2.28? I can't install new stable infection roms without it apparently
[HTC Rezound] aaronc222:
Kind of what I figured. As long as it has a newer radio/hboot than what's on it currently (2.25 hboot and 1.something radio) I'll be happy. And as long as the battery life improves even slightly and it's back to a stable non ROM/rooted release she'll be happy.
[HTC Rezound] nerdyessence:
So I noticed that I'm currently not on the latest radios with my Rezound (I'm running 1.22.10.0421r and 1.22.10.0424r and my HBoot is 2.25). Is there any real benefit to updating radios etc? Would you suggest that I update them?
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
Not really. Unless you're having problems :)
[HTC Rezound] nerdyessence:
From what I've read is that it can improve call quality on the phone. I get like a weird feedback when I'm talking to someone.

My next question is about the Nandroid backup. What exactly should I back up for the phone?
[HTC Rezound] TheWoodrow:
Guide Posted?

Also have non-rooted non-unlocked ReZound ver. 4.05.605.14 710RD. Rarely able to navigate through apps without screen/App freezing. Looked for solutions and the only hope I found was for the Guide mentioned by Neo. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
Well with a nandroid backup, it really depends on what it is you want to back up. If you want a complete image backup I would select every option.

Have you tried flashing to a custom rom?
[HTC Rezound] TheWoodrow:
I have not, nor do I have experience with it in the past. Suggestions? Saw an earlier post where you mentioned Infection? or CM 10.1?

Point me in the right direction and I can follow Step by Step with the best of 'em!
[HTC Rezound] RonnieG116:
I recently flashed Talon 1.0. I have a question about SD Card mapping. Currently, \sdcard0 = SDCard, and \sdcard1 = ExtSDCard. Is there a way I can switch it to \sdcard0 = eMMc, and \sdcard1 = SDCard?

I'm coming from INFECTION and I have various settings backed up to my SD, but the apps are not reading the back ups on this ROM because of the SD mapping.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
Neo, please remove my address from the OP.

I am on the HTC One now and have totally lost touch with the rezound.
[HTC Rezound] apophis9283:
Im having the same issue :/
[HTC Rezound] tigerxchaos:
Hey guys,

Got a weird situation with my Rezound that I need to send back to Verizon.

I'm having lots of trouble getting my Rezound back to stock. I am S-OFF. Tried RUUing but it goes to ***RELOCKED*** instead of ***LOCKED***, so I can't get to completely stock. I've tried several different ways and I am having no success.

The process I'm using DID work on a previous phone. The only thing that's different about this one is that I accidentally RUU'ed before I relocked the bootloader, and that this phone previously had CleanROM while I was still S-ON.

I need to send the phone back as a warranty replacement, so at this point I'm just looking to make the phone appear as ***LOCKED*** and S-ON. Despite a Verizon customer service lady telling me I had 150 days, just one month and they've charged me $450 for the device, so I need to get it sorted out.

I'm thinking I can RUU while S-OFF, then install custom HBOOT, then S-ON with that custom HBOOT and that might do the trick. However, the custom HBOOT needs to not be an engineering HBOOT because then S-ON will brick it.

Is there a custom HBOOT that will say ***LOCKED*** consistently that I can then S-ON without bricking the phone? Or some other way to fix the issue?

Thanks for any help you can give.

EDIT: Phone info:

Android version - 4.0.3

Software number - 3.14.605.12 710RD

HBOOT: Showing ***UNLOCKED*** / S-OFF

2.25.0000

RADIO: 1.22.10.0421r/1.22.10.0424r

EDIT 2: I suspect part of my issue might be my mainver. I tried the steps in this post but my mainver is still blank when I run fastboot getvar all. Not sure where to go from here.
[HTC Rezound] nasboy87:
It is a pain but you can do it. Only problem is that you have to run the ruu, then s-on. Then s-off, then run ruu again (the second ruu may not be necessary but to be safe), then s-on again. I had to do it about 6 months ago when I accidentally unlocked while s-off and had to send a phone back.

This link is what I have used in the past

[HTC Rezound] aaronc222:
So I finally got her to give up the phone for a couple hours.

It wasn't quite as simple as just dropping PH98img.zip on the SD and booting to the bootloader.

In the end this is what had to be done (with phone in fastboot as most can tell from the fastboot command):

fastboot erase cache

fastboot oem lock

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip PH98img.zip

(it will fail for with pre-update flush again immediately error). So do it again -->

fastboot flash zip PH98img.zip

(it will finish)

when its done:

fastboot reboot-bootloader

I used the 4.03... file I originally asked about and found these instructions at androidforums while searching for an error I was getting.

So now the phone is back to fully stock 4.03 as it would be if I never messed with it. With any luck her battery life will be much better now.
[HTC Rezound] nerdyessence:
Can someone explain native tether?
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
native tether is when the phone has tethering capabilities built into the rom. IE cyanogenmod has native tether. So does the stock rom from HTC
[HTC Rezound] nrkid9:
Alright guys, my Rezound's soft touch buttons are dead. After looking around a bit it seems like this is a common problem. Is there a ROM or something that allows me to use PIE or turn on the tablet style UI with the home, back, etc. at the bottom of the screen? I don't want to try and replace the screen on my own and the phone's already out of warranty.

Edit: Derp. I found PA in the official development area. I'll give this a test run.
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
You can in all of the by making a simple build.prop edit

Its qmenu keys something or other.

HTC Rezound on Tmobile?

Hi, I'm brand new to this site/forum, and have a few questions:

I'm on VZW with the HTC Rezound, and have been thinking of switching to T-Mobile to save $$... I saw today as I was exploring my network settings that it has GSM capabilities, and upon doing a search it seems true, which is awesome. However, all of the forums that I've read regarding this are at least a year old, and say that there are problems with sending/receiving SMS, and that the data speeds are only EDGE/2G.

So, my question: Can the Rezound currently be used on T-Mobile with full data speed and SMS/MMS functionality? I know TMo has been updating its towers at a rapid speed. And if there are SMS/MMS issues, would using Google Voice instead of the network be a good work around? I'm thinking of porting my phone number to GV.

Also, could it be used on TMobile, and be rooted? I've never rooted, but am super interested in getting rid of VZW bloatware and speeding it up. And so would also need help on this. Sorry to ask something that I'm sure has been asked a lot, but I don't know A THING about this, and need a layman's tutorial.

Thanks so much!
[HTC Rezound] dvanilla:
thanks so much! I assume I skip most of those steps and go right to "I have no words to describe such perfection. Please give me some time to comprehend.."??

I'm working on educating myself, and very much am looking forward to the rooting fun.
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
Hehe pretty much but only if you could care less about having a camera and camcorder... Otherwise, stay away from ION builds for now.
[HTC Rezound] dvanilla:
well, the camera is pretty important, but not the camcorder, so, this one seems like it for me!

"Stock AOSP Jellybean (Android 4.3) Now this is the life... I didn't think it could get even faster but it did. However, Camcorder only works half the time for me?? Camera works great. The developers are all over this platform right now and working to make it better."

thanks a lot! I really appreciate your time and care!
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
"Custom AOSP Jellybean (Android 4.3) F.A.S.T. I just flashed TACHYON 1.1.5..."

Camera works 100%. Camcorder is iffy.

You're welcome

Damaged partition table

It would seem that my /cache partition is damaged. CWM can't mount it, nor can it format or wipe it. I also can't get my new Tachyon ROM to get past the boot animation, so I'm suspecting it is in fact the partition table that has lost /cache. I encountered a similar issue on my Iconia A500, but they had a device specific solution.

How do we go about fixing the partition table on the Rezound? Thanks.
[HTC Rezound] Sabrewings:
I figured it out. My own flub, but it wasn't CWM. It was Amon Ra. Flashed a ported TWRP and it was able to formats /cache correctly. Flashed to a current CWM since I like it the most. Loaded Tachyon ROM and good to go.

Thanks for the ROM Neo.
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
Amon Ra = BAAAD lol
[HTC Rezound] Sabrewings:
So it would seem. It came with the root process I used back in the day, IIRC. At least it's now fixed.
[HTC Rezound] Uzephi:
So, the one day I don't have my otter box on. My phone dropped from less than a foot and cracked at the lower left side of the screen. I have replaced a digitizer once before. It was on my LG spectrum. I read instructions on how to do it for this phone. This thing is a lot more complicated than an LG device let me tell you....

Any advice/warnings of mishaps you guys have experienced with digitizer replacements?
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
Buy U.S. only and not over seas. I had a single defective digitizer that shorted both of my boards (two separate working phones). Make sure that while you're working in phone guys, not to touch anything you don't have to and never try powering it on while guts are exposed
[HTC Rezound] GTabJosh:
Cell service not working

My cellular function seems to have crapped out on me unexpectedly. I can't place calls, incoming calls don't come through, and my SMS messaging doesn't send or receive. Instead of bars on the reception icon, I have an "x". I've tried flashing different ROMs, and I just flashed the latest RUU, so I'm stock now and current with the latest radio software. I also reseated the SIM card, even though the SIM ID was displayed in the software settings.

Someone please tell me that there's a solution for this, that my phone isn't shot. I just bought it for a backup, and I've probably put less than 50 hours of use on it.

Thanks!

Josh
[HTC Rezound] Uzephi:
Are you using the stock battery cover? Are the metal contacts on it corroded?

Sounds like signal issues. The phone's antenna is the metal lines on the battery cover. Check to make sure they are good.

Sent from my Rezound
[HTC Rezound] GTabJosh:
Hmm... that implies that I have to use the phone with the cover on. I've left it off because I was having lockups in sleep mode with a certain ROM, and I got tired of prying it off to remove the battery. I wonder if the phone will work with the antenna attached... Yup, that did it :victory:

Thanks again for your help.

Hi guys. Is anyone available 4 a little refresher course on the rezound? I spent ALL day yesterday trying to update my mom's to the global update without any luck. I gave it to her over a year ago so I am lost in this HTC S-on device. I really just want to run ViperRez 1.0.3. I flashed the ROM but can't get the boot.img to flash.

Neo,

I just ordered a "new" Rezound, should be here Friday. My "old" Rezound has problems with the capacitive buttons not working.

My question is, can I still s-off the new Rezound? I still have Juopunutbear's s-off for GB on my computer, I guess I can use this if the new phone comes with GB. Do you know if the Rummrunner exploit will work? It says it should work on any HTC device with a Qualcomm processor. I have used it with my HTC One with no issues. TIA.
[HTC Rezound] Stormwing:
Hi all, repost from this thread due to low traffic:

I just purchased a Rezound on Tachyon from Swappa and I'm having trouble activating it on Verizon - it just won't recognize what phone number it's supposed to have, and therefore can't make non-roaming calls. Tried sim swapping and MEID entry on MyVerizon, clean reflash of Tach and other roms, minor APN fiddling, and brought it to a VZW store where they worked it for almost two hours to no avail.

Initially, setting roaming mode to "home only" gave me roaming, while "automatic" somehow gave me 3G/LTE. Now "home" gives me nothing and "auto" just gets me roaming, not sure why.

Other info:

-Was most recently on Straight Talk

-S-Off

-Unlocked bootloader (although it still says Locked when I boot into it)

-Modded hboot ver. 2.27.0000

-Radio ver. 2.22.10.0801r/2.22.10.0803r

-AmonRa recovery (that can't view internal sd for some reason)

-Currently running Infection

Any ideas on what the problem is?

Viper rom, in my opinion has to be one of the best. Also the kernel you use will make a huge difference as well as the kernel tweaks you use.
