First of all, thanks for sticking around to help people like me. Very much appreciated when most have moved on from this phone by now. I'll be on it until I have to switch.

Yeah, I knew that about s-off which is one reason I never did it, that and I didn't want to play with wires. ;) I don't mind using fastboot and snuzzo made it really easy for s-on users to flash ERez by having it make the kernel file for you.

Anyway, I'm glad I haven't spent a lot of time customizing my phone cuz I'm going to go ahead and run the exe RUU then. omg... soooooooooo much time spent on this. lol. Too bad I can't just remember everything I learned back when I first rooted and flashed. I have notes but they're not in any order and things keep changing, well I should say have changed since I last flashed a ROM which was almost 2 years ago!

Any reason why I should do all of this:

[Guide] How to Downgrade, Factory Restore, and fully update the Rezound

I'm happy to do it, I just really want a super clean fresh start.

So after that though, I can flash the newest global hboot and radios? Eh, maybe the other RUU has them. I'll have to check. Reading that thread is making me dizzy.

Thanks again for the help! :good:
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Reventech's guide you linked is great... The reason this is done is a strange trait with this device, that somewhat defies logic as we understand the operation of RUU's, but often repeated flashings and jumping revisions, etc, seems to confuse the device on a level we don't really understand causing unexplained heating and shortened battery life... Doing the full gambit from beginning to end often fixes or improves heat build-up issues and improves battery life, but we really don't understand exactly why.

What is your end result, meaning what do you want the phone to be when it's all said and done? Stock, CM, or something else perhaps?
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Well the links in that guide are no good.

EDIT: Working RUU links found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47550321&postcount=16

I actually have RUUs 2-4 already downloaded on my laptop from way back when. Just need the first one and the 2 OTA zips, one of which seems way too big at over 600mb!?!

Anyway, my goal is simply to put on EclipticRez v9 and have my phone functioning properly again. I love that ROM, been on v8.1 for almost 2 years. There's only one or two minor issues, but it's a fantastic daily driver, and that's what I want. I have no need to flash a bunch of different ROMs.

I'm going through all of this again because my phone started being really slow and then a lot of apps stopped working. They either just did nothing or fc'd right after opening. Fixing permissions didn't help. So I'm just trying to get it back to normal functioning so I can use it for another 2 years!

I decided to s-ff now because it was a much easier process and just in case I get stuck for some reason it seems easier to get out of a jam if you're not tied to the s-on limitations. I'm not as afraid of bricking any more.

Reboot to recovery. Then from there wipe system/data/cache in advanced wipe.

Flash ROM reboot. Done.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Snuzzo!

Yeah, I wanted to completely remove all traces of everything though. And both TWRP and AmonRa list things differently and have multiple listings so that it's hard to determine what card you are wiping. It probably doesn't matter much in my case since I put in the orig 16gb ext sdcard whenever I flash and keep the 64gb with all my stuff on it out of the phone when doing this stuff.

Question for you though.... should I flash your updated kernel package? I saw a v4 somewhere. I don't like to play around with kernel settings so I usually just flash with Lunar at default settings and leave it.

Also planning on flashing the global firmware that came out while I was not doing things to my phone.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
I think I had a v5 but lost that a while ago.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
I have changed my phone to GSM accidentally and now I cannot get LTE service back.

EclipticRez v9, I used the pull down quick settings to turn on Bluetooth but I missed and I turned on/changed to GSM network. Now I cannot change it back. On the quick settings it only has the option to turn on/off GSM. So I went into the hidden phone settings and tried all the various LTE options, it says I'm on LTE in there, but still can't use my phone. It will say 4Glte at the top of the screen but I have no service. If I reboot it goes to GSM in the hidden phone settings.

I tried to remove the GSM option from the quick settings but coredroid stops when I do that and it doesn't stick.

I tried connecting to wifi and sending a text msg and it fails and I get the following error message:

Please add Service Center number in FDN

Is there any way to fix this without having to reflash the ROM? Or if I reflash, can I somehow just pick the network without losing all my info/settings? Backing everything up now in case I have to reflash.
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
No need to double post, this forum still gets some traffic it's just nothing like it used to be since the device has been replaced by most users, gotta be patient here now, sometimes people don't check this forum but once per week.

Check the thread you created in the Help section... I can assist you there.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Yeah, I had posted here first, then the other help thread looked busier.

Does anyone have Liquid-JB-v2.37-OFFICIAL-vigor.zip?
[HTC Rezound] supersquirrel211:
thanks

Just as simple as flashing the kernel or am i going to have to do the video fix as well? I tried his kernel in the early stages and it didnt seem to work to well so i used the nand restore to get me back...
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
If you s-off, just flash. If not, s-off lol. And everything's working for me.
[HTC Rezound] supersquirrel211:
I am s-off, ive flashed the kernel and when i put gov on sav2 the phone locks up then auto reboots?? is that happening for you?

well it is a continuous reboot loop now, so i have gone into recovery and did a nand restore. i dunno whats going on, just seems like the new kernel doesnt work for me for some reason
[HTC Rezound] apophis9283:
Try wiping boot then reflashing it.

Hi gents, i created a post under Rezound general asking for some help titled "[Q] Unlocked bootloader, s-on, not rooted HELP!!!!"

I have the bootloader unlocked, s-on (didnt mess with all that) but i cant seem to figure out the amon ra recovery flash and the supersu root access. I am pretty sure i was able to do the amon ra recovery image through dev options.

Here is a shot of wht root checker advised as was wrong...not sure where to go from here....a few folks suggested flashing superuser.zip but i have no idea where to place that zip file and how exactly to flash it.

Thanks again for all you do for us......this community is the shiznit!!!!!

Flash this instead of SuperUser http://download.chainfire.eu/204/SuperSU/CWM-SuperSU-v0.94.zip
[HTC Rezound] jesternsb:
Stupid question of the day coming......what are the steps to actually flashing that zip file and where should it be "flashed" from?

I would have to assume through adb "fastboot flash recovery rezound-recovery.img" but i have no idea....sorry for the silly question but i am not one to guess and start hammering away trying stuff and seeing if it works or not.

Thanks again!!!!
[HTC Rezound] apophis9283:
No, put the zip on external sd, reboot into recovery, preferably amon ra. Then go to flash menu, external sd, find the zip and flash it
[HTC Rezound] jesternsb:
Ok, good deal.....doing that now and survey says......DING DING DING.

Rooted and working looks like.....thanks again so so very much.

Now i will start researching custom ROMS and the like.....i am going to mess around with it more tomorrow and let you know if all is good.

Thanks again!!!!! XDA is the cream of the crop!!!!

Morning folks, so i finally got the Rezound rooted last night and the root checker confirmed that it did have root access.....thanks again for everyones help.

I installed and setup "wifi tether" and gave it supersu access...etc.

The issue i am having is that it fails in ad-hoc mode, setting essid and setting the channel......anyone else have this issue and how were you able to resolve it? Or is there a better wifi hotspot tool i can use to connect the rezound wirelessly to my tablet.

thanks again.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Select HTC Rezound for device and also select Routing Fix and you should be good to go.
[HTC Rezound] jesternsb:
I went back into "wifi tether" and could not find anywhere that allowed me to select a specific device.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:

[HTC Rezound] jesternsb:
There is no option to change the "device profile".......i can see that in another wifi thether app called open garden....but not in the one i found called wireless tether.

Pain in the neck......what app shold i actually be using here?

Hey, gang. Having some problems here and need some help. I just went from the leaked global RUU to the Le N00b Cyanogen mod, and I followed these instructions for flashing. After rebooting, I am hit with "unfortunately, system ui has stopped" popup windows that never go away, and a battery pull did not help. S-On, H-Boot 2.27.0000, Radio 2.22.10.0801r/2.22.10.0803r.
[HTC Rezound] apophis9283:

Reboot into recovery and wipe everything then re-install
[HTC Rezound] Xenutastic:
Tried that a second time and got the same problem. But then I went into recovery and flashed the gapps zip a second time. Got the same messages again, but they actually stopped after the first couple, and this time I'm in. So far so good. Thanks!

Edit: Google Now is giving me eternal "couldn't sign in" messages for some reason.
[HTC Rezound] apophis9283:
Did you wipe system when you were wiping everything?
[HTC Rezound] Xenutastic:
Yep. data/factory, dalvic cache, system, then boot in that order. Gmail and the market work fine, but I'm still getting this at startup and whenever i attempt a google search:

"Couldn't sign in

a problem occurred while communicating with google servers.

please try again later."
[HTC Rezound] apophis9283:
Just sounds like there are leftovers from your last rom.

I'm stuck with the S-OFF process. I never got this error before. This is where I'm stuck at. It says it was successful but it keeps saying "Hmmm, still no device

Open device manager and check adb and/or fastboot drivers!!". I'm sitting here in amon ra recovery, what should I do?

OK here goes :)

verizon is sending me a new phone CLNR, because I am going through 3 regular batteries a day, average usage, no streaming whatsoever. Mostly texting and email. This will be my 4th replacement. Its been a while since I have had to go back to stock. I could use some help, please.

Right now I am unlocked rooted, thats it. I am running the global update. What is the process I have to take to get me unrooted and relocked?

pull up CMD window...

navigate to folder with fastboot files

plug in phone, make sure it says fastboot usb

fastboot oem lock

put ph file RUU on sd card

boot into bootloader

file will run itself

sorry....I need the breakdown step by step :(

Then it shoud say relocked and I will have the stock recovery, right?

Once my new phone comes in, I am going to try to s off. Apophis9283 tried to help me a few months ago, but I just couldnt get the wire trick to work.

[HTC Rezound] supersquirrel211:
Advise and help please

I am having a problem w very frequent and random reboots, figure it is everything i flash, even though i wipe then flash, is starting to catch up to me..I had a thought to do a factory data wipe and reset so i can start from begining. I am soff and I believe I'm on the newest firmware ICS, running Rezound Cubed ICS Kernel 2.0.1 for Sense 4.0 Based ROMs, and using AnTuTu CPU Master Pro w smartassV2, and finally I am using Venom's rom ViperRez_1.0.3 and dont think i will ever switch rom's again because that is just how much i like it. I figure that starting fresh and all over again would be good also just to have the phone all cleaned up and only using or running what is needed. One problem I have run into though, before even getting started is, the Cubed ICS Kernel 2.0.1 for sense is un available when i click on it to download from the original page dsb had the link on. so if ido wipe all and do a factory reset, i would need to get that particular kernel to flash after flashing the rom, correct? I do realize there is an updated kernal from the one i am using, but read there was a problem somewhere w it so i never used it, reguardless it seems that all of the kernel downloads arent available or have expired or removed anyway..So what can i do, and does anyone have that particular file that i can get from them so i can continue w cleaning up the phone.

Also, am I going about this all wrong and there is no reason to do a full reset, start from scratch and then start to re-organize the phone? is that particular kernal something that is needen for what i am doing, or while doing a full wipe will not affect the kernel?

Hope someone can share some advise on this for me, because i am really getting tired of these re-boot and also the system seems to be a bit lagy all the time, used to be very snappy and quick when i would tap the screen for something or go to explore the apps on phone and do different things. I am missing the fast, snappy, and quick response my rezound used to have. I did post this in the thread basically so any usefull information will be posted so all can see, learn and use it, other wise i would have shot a PM to someone in hopes my problem could be rezolved alot quicker. on that note, i dont mind if anyone willing to help could send me a private message or if we are on the same time we can use gtalk.

thanks in advanced if anyone can help me out, i do appreciate it. Untill i know I have all the proper files and process of going about doing all this, I'm sticking w the phone as it is now, even though dealing w reboots and such..

seeking assistance

I was looking for someone to maybe create a sweet ass signature for me, so i can put my phone stats at the bottom of all my posts. however im no good at creating something cool enough to put as a signature other than typical font with what ive done to the rezound. if i give my phone stats could someone have fun creating a cool signature for me. only asking if someone has fun doing this kinda thing, certainly dont want to ask anyone to go out of their way. but if its fun for you to create things like that, then please get with me..

on a second note..how do i figure out what firmware im running? weather or not its the latest global leak or latest ruu ??
[HTC Rezound] apophis9283:
Look in bootloader.

[HTC Rezound] tschmid5:
Alright, so I received a warranty replacement in the mail today as my charging port on my old device was loose. Anyway, my old device was S-OFF which I had done months ago with a paperclip when the process first hit the forums. Today I did the S-ON process for the old device after the global RUU so that I can send it back. My new device shipped 3.14.605.12 but I updated it to the global RUU only to find out right after I did it that there was no S-OFF process update for HBOOT 2.27. So my question is, what steps do I take to safely get back to HBOOT 2.25 so that I can S-OFF my device again? Can I flash the 3.14.605.12 RUU and safely get back to HBOOT 2.25 to then S-OFF? I have not unlocked yet.

Also, I cannot find a download for controlbear ANYWHERE. I think I still have the one from months ago but not sure if there's a newer version.
[HTC Rezound] apophis9283:
You should be able to use the ics ota update version.
[HTC Rezound] tschmid5:
That will change my HBOOT back to 2.25? And which ics ota update version?
[HTC Rezound] apophis9283:
No, it will allow you to s-off and flash the right ruu.
