moving on

I bought myself a LG G2 today. Love it!

I've returned to stock my wifes old rezound without at problem, it was hboot 2.27 so the RUU took.

But now I seem to be stuck on how to return my phone to stock for sale on ebay. I updated the hboot to 2.28. I am also S-on. I locked to bootloader like previously to run the stock RUU, but because I updated to 2.28, the RUU will not install, and it looks like no one has built a stock RUU that will install on hboot 2.28. How can I get this phone back to stock?

[HTC Rezound] Uzephi:
Off topic, but your best bet is to s-off, downgrade to an OTA RUU then OTA back up to 2.28

Side note S-off removes tampered and "relocked" if I remember correctly
[HTC Rezound] LuckBox63:
Is there a crash dump log accessible through es file explorer? occasionally I'm getting random reboots. Not a huge deal.

I've done a few full wipes and flashed the ROM from A-RA 3.15. I think I'm hboot 2.27.
[HTC Rezound] flamewalker:
I second this. I s-offed to return to complete stock before I returned my other rezound for warranty. S-off then downgrade to latest ruu then relock. A little searching will find more exact instructions.
[HTC Rezound] lukester01:
off topic again, but trust you guys

I did some research on s-off. It appears to do it I have to be on the stock RUU. I'm on Infection. Do any of the methods work when the phone is running Infection?

Or anyone want a Rezound,s-on, with Infection?
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
You should still be able to s-off...just install stock rom
[HTC Rezound] YeloSub7:
I followed the WiFi hotspot setup in the OP, and still can't get any device to even recognize it let alone connect. Please help!
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
Those instructions are outdated. There is a native tethering option (built into the rom) that works. Go to settings and select more from the network menu up top and you will find the tethering there.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
If they are old, remove them from the OP kind sir. /troll

[HTC Rezound] flamewalker:
I will look into this when I get home. I had to do a fair amount of searching before to get mine back to stock, as I had the unreleased ruu firmware and infection as well when I needed to s-off... but I managed to do it.
[HTC Rezound] flamewalker:
Instructions forthcoming via PM momentarily (I literally just did it to get S-OFF to test :)

Step by step to restore to stock from 2.28 hboot (or to get s-off like I did from 2.28):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=45807824#post45807824

FYI Neo, I was still getting the reboots... I went s-off and reloaded the rom from ground zero... hoping this resolves it! (didn't restore any app or system data other than for apex, from the in-app backup and restore options)
[HTC Rezound] jenkies:
Can someone link me to the radio I should be using on this rom?
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
what are you currently on?
[HTC Rezound] jenkies:
2.22.10.081r, 2.22.10.0803r is what my phone says under baseband. That is the radio correct?
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
if your on infection your ok with what you got....if you want you can update to hboot 2.28 with the 2.23 radios. and ill give you the link if you want it...but you have to update the hboot and the radios not just the radios as youll have massive errors just flashing radios as they werent meant for hboot 2.27...youll have to fastboot flash your recovery and wipe cache and dalvik afterwards so your not stuck in bootloop
[HTC Rezound] Uzephi:
Sorry for late response. I just recently (like two days ago) s-off with JB 0.1 on infection. It made my external SD need to be reformatted.

I used the most recent OTA ruu (hboot 2.25) and manually upgraded to 2.28 OTA just fine. After RUU, tampered tag disappeared and bootloader says "locked".

Flashed TWRP from PH98 zip and installed PAC 4.3 still locked and no tampered tag.

Sorry Neo for going off topic, but I can say, Infection worked when I S-Off with JB 0.1 in Windows.
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
Going to any 4.3 ROM I know internal/emmc needs wiped and repartioned...for s-off I personally took all cards out including sim...even when doing any ruu exe's just in case anything corrupts in process
[HTC Rezound] jenkies:
Guess I'll need that link because I can't get either tether, the built in or market, to work.
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
tethering isnt radio related but heres the link flyhalf provided http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=40768590&postcount=35 just please make sure you read all instructions and make sure your hboot is either locked or relocked if you are s-on...if you need further instructions pm me...personally tethering has yet to be an issue for me but im also on a different rom by neo and worked on other roms by him
[HTC Rezound] highdro:
Not true. My internal reads just fine on 4.3 without wiping.
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
Strange I know I and some others have had too
[HTC Rezound] highdro:
Yeah I can't believe how different some rezounds are compared to others.
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
Yea...I hear you there...just depends on the "wafer" as Neo puts it
[HTC Rezound] flamewalker:
Just an update... since I went S-OFF I have had one reboot on infection... Other than that one reboot, so far so good!

BTW... is there a way to load a custom recovery without unlocking again like I did (while locked and S-OFF)?
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
if your s-off you can go grab twrp and rename it and make sure it looks like PH98IMG.zip and flash in bootloader or i believe the same method for cwm but twrp in my opinion is most stable and always gets updates
[HTC Rezound] flamewalker:
Since I'm S-FF, will relocking show the tampered/relocked if I relock? Not that it matters really since I likely won't be sending this unit in again before I replace it...Didn't know I could ph98img.zip the recovery when s-off so I unlocked so I could load custom recovery (still using amon ra).
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
Yes get rid of amon ra as its been known to cause errors and reboots on roms 4.2.2 and higher you should have no problem im s-off and unlocked and it doesnt effect hboot at all...its actually very easy to unlock after relock just by going to htc dev website and doing a small few fastboot commands...the twrp 2.6.3.0 is in Rezound Original Android Developement thread and actually has the ph98img extension at the end of the name you just need to remove whats left....s-off is so much easier especially for constant flashings and what not as you do not need to ever fastboot flash a boot.img file for kernels or anything...also a plus side to twrp is custom themes for it in the apps and themes section...some even made by me...also on 4.2.2 and up based roms up your min frequency in settings>performance to at least 384....as anything below that causes black screen of death error and random reboots
[HTC Rezound] flamewalker:
Thanks...forgot about the min cpu frequency bug. Too bad cause this thing really sips power with that setting... but as you noted the occasional reboots. I will look into twrp ... I re-unlocked after I S-OFF'ed so I can just fastboot load the recovery. thanks :)
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
yes and your battery drain may not be caused because of that setting...to be honest the last 4 days just for sng's as i play a power hungry game ive had it set between 384min and 1512max to 432min and 1728max and ill play for about 20 to 30 mins i leave my phone off the charger most of the day and it doesnt die and i have great battery life...on stock battery ill get about 8 to 9 hours off charger and my extended litterally will last from when i wake up to when i go to bed 17 hours later and still have at least 30% left...what your drain can be caused by and ive heard it many times can be a wakelock...but from personal experience amon ra was the original root error of battery drain....being on hboot 2.27 with the 2.22 radios was causing me overheating so i updated to 2.28....after a few other rom flashes my next and last only error was wakelocks
[HTC Rezound] flamewalker:
Funny... seems like every now and again the recommendation changes from one recovery to another :p Hadn't seen any threads where amon ra was blamed for battery issues... good to know!

Just flashed TWRP. Was quite painless renaming to ph98img.zip and rebooting to bootloader. So far it definitely is easier to navigate...
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
its been posted mainly on 4.3 threads way back and on some 4.2.2 threads...amon ra was causing alot of errors and bugs on many of these roms and therefore since cwm recovery and twrp came out as working ok but mostly everybody uses twrp because theres absolutely no errors with it, has a great user interface, and theres posts out there and methods on what to do to fix your rom straight from the twrp recovery...personally i recommend it as my phone seems to be pretty darn reliable on a good rom by Neo and TWRP. theres usually always an answer on these comments in the threads but mostly they are buried deep and hard to find lol...hence why we are here....also do check out the Rezound Themes and Apps section as cool themes for TWRP are posted there and are very painless to install...ive made 2 and have a few coming soon this week that alot of hard work went in to
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
Use either Clockwork Mod or TWRP. Amon Ra is a very old form of Clockwork Mod (at code level) and no longer recommended by me at least.

As for upping min freqs, this has been resolved in the 4.3 roms ever since we rebased the kernel off of Hydra Kernel so leaving it at 192 in the newer 4.3 releases based of the vigor_aosp_kernel is fine.
[HTC Rezound] flamewalker:
Does this mean infection 2.9.1? Could it be that the reboots were amon ra all this time (since I switched to 2.9.1)?
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
Infection is a 4.2.2 based ROM not 4.3 so the min frequency bug still may apply in it but amon ra will cause issues as well...getting rid of it and switching to twrp then re clean flashing the ROM will get rid of quite a bit
[HTC Rezound] Scott586:
I didn't realize the recovery version was even in play after the phone was booted. Learn something all the time I guess.
[HTC Rezound] flamewalker:
Well I did get another reboot today... first in 3 days since I reloaded it after going S-OFF. Replaced AmonRa with TWRP yesterday. No real change I've noticed yet. Don't quite feel like redoing my rom again so soon :p
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
change wont happen till after you flash a rom with it....also in the twrp thread i recommend downloading cleanwipe.zip as its very useful and flashable through twrp
[HTC Rezound] mvmacd:
Guys, I would appreciate any help about this:

I have PagePlus, which is a mvno that only officially supports 3g phones (*22890 activation).

But I wanted something better than my Fascinate so I got the rezound for $125 on CL, like new condition, last Nov.

Since then I've been running talk and text, that I programmed via a guide here, using CDMA WS.

I didn't bother with trying to program 3g, but now I might want to get a monthly plan and wouldn't consider it if I couldn't get 3g. Here's the thing, I programmed it on a stock ROM and I'm pretty sure it only works on stock.

Does anyone have any idea if there's a root app to program 3g data (things like WAP, username, password, or something)? While still on AOSP? Thank you in advance!

So here is the guide I used for talk and text: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1900163

I've had no problems using Amon Ra with 4.2.2 based ROMs. Switched to it sometime back because supposedly it was better than CWM and TWRP, now it's not recommended.

PARANOID ANDROID HAS COME TO THE REZOUND!!

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

PARANOID ANDROID (AOSP 4.3)

Brought to you by kkozma​
[HTC Rezound] LOBBS:
With the news from CM last week, have they shut down their git yet preventing new builds? I was just curious as to what effect that was going to have on ROMs like Infection and Tachyon that are CM-based.
[HTC Rezound] rgnicholas:
Hey there... I can confirm that I get 3g with PagePlus on my Rez. I used the same thread that you mentioned to get things going. It has been a while ago but if you look at my post on the subject, maybe it will help a little. It was a tedious thing to do though. I have the 1200 plan which comes with 500mb data... is enough for me. I'm a penny pincher :)
[HTC Rezound] Dark Jedi:
I think they have more to worry about how they went behind many people's backs that helped cm become what they are today.
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
Ya tell me about it...although dev wise there is many other options to go from besides cm based roms
[HTC Rezound] flamewalker:
What's the big difference between paranoid, infection, and tachyon?
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
Well infection is 4.2 based not 4.3 tachyon is its own release with certain things added by Neo based off cm and PA by kkozma has its own certain set of features and settings from its own Android Open Source Project (aosp)...it comes with certain different bases and where it's sourced
[HTC Rezound] flamewalker:
Any big benefits of moving to a 4.3 based rom? So PA is based off another set of code, other than CM?
[HTC Rezound] D8nkE:
Neo, just wanted to say thanks for all the great ROMS. I'm jumping ship. Got a warranty replacement and decided to put it up on eBay to help fund my next device. Hopefully I'll be able enjoy your genius on another device in the future. Thanks again!
[HTC Rezound] mvmacd:
But the question is, can I do this on /this/ ROM? I only got around to flashing the latest version a few days ago (said it was built in July I think).

Swiped from my Nexus 10 using xda-developers app
[HTC Rezound] rgnicholas:
Yes... I have flashed this ROM and probably 20 or more others both Sense, CM and whatever. Granted, I am S-off and have updated the firmware to the latest radios, etc. Someone correct me if I am wrong -but- the flashing the phone to work on PagePlus is a whole different process which is not dependent on the ROM. You'll need to use DFS or other similar software to gain data on the Rez. I am pretty sure that this process flashes a chip in the phone which works the magic... not the ROM or a app which you download. Make sense?

---------- Post added at 07:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:23 PM ----------

mvmacd... the best way to get the settings right is "IF" you have another smartphone which is on PagePlus, log into it with DFS and "read" it to see what the proper settings are for your locale. I think you may even be able to save the settings to a file to use in reprogramming your new Rez. Be sure to use the proper PRL file too. Again, this is sort of a black art and you'll get lots of suggestions about what to change in the programming. If you know someone with an old Dinc, it can be put on Pagelus easily... then you can read out the settings from it. Trust me, this will save you a lot of grief.
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
4.3 is more stable....almost only bug left is for Verizon user related though there is workarounds...PAC 4.3, Tachyon, Carbon ROM, And liquid 3.0 are great...just need the know how for the Verizon workarounds and what have you
[HTC Rezound] Uzephi:
Don't forget the wakelock and disable service workaround.
[HTC Rezound] NapalmDawn:
Is it still the case with Tach that MMS will work after flashing until you reboot and then it gets sketchy? I'd love to go to Tach but I haven't switched yet because of the mention that MMS isn't fully working.
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
Ii believe so. After I upload the rebuild however it will be fine.
[HTC Rezound] mvmacd:
Ah okay well I was mostly concerned about drivers, like whether or not the 'modem' would show up in Windows (I mainly use Linux and don't boot Windows often). Anyway looks like I probably won't be needing to upgrade plans, for now anyway.. but thanks just the same. And if I need to in the future I'll come back to your post and read it again!

Swiped from my Nexus 10 using xda-developers app

Edit: I keep getting reboots (not hot, white HTC screen reboots) the last few days after finally flashing the latest version. I flashed the included boot.img, and have the default freqs. Any suggestions to try? Thanks.
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
Up your min frequency to 384...if it still persists and you are using amon ra for recovery...switch to twrp and clean flash...also idk if it helps but I use on demand governor and sio scheduler
[HTC Rezound] rgnicholas:
Hmmm... if you haven't yet, do try upping the min to 384 as REV3NT3CH suggests.Also, try to stick with the stock kernel tuner that comes with the ROM. I have found that using the others (trickster mod & kernel tuner) can cause you problems if you aren't real careful. Not sure why but it does seem the recovery type can have an effect too. Personally, I use TWRP with good success. I also do manual clean wipes and even run the CleanWIPE x5 for the Rezound when I switch ROMs.
[HTC Rezound] flamewalker:
I still get seemingly random reboots too. Even upping the min freq to 384, but at least its less than once a day. maybe every other day or so.

Annoying but otherwise the rom runs well for me.
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
I wonder if s-on users get more reboots than s-off or if radios play a role...I know with my phone I ruu'd to oldest GB firmware and step by step ruu'ing and ota.zip updating all the way to most current (which some were even for me a pain to really find all of them in working order and I heard that skipping or missing certain updates can cause massive flaws in the device) as well as hboot 2.28 with 2.23 radios and with ROM I'm on now and for 3 days straight I've yet to have a reboot at all
[HTC Rezound] flamewalker:
I'm S-OFF now... And reloaded from scratch the other day. Could be a slightly different hardware revision... But I've always gotten random reboots since 4.2.2...
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
Did u only do one ruu though....I did every single one step by step plus each and evert ota.zip step by step according to release date....I'm seriously not lieng when I say in 3 whole days I've yet to have a reboot at all
[HTC Rezound] flamewalker:
Nope. Might try that when I finally decide to try tachyon...
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
I do hate to say it but 4.3 ROMs are much more reliable and sturdy than 4.2 based ROMs...Tachyon, PAC man 4.3, and Carbon ROM are all very good choices
[HTC Rezound] Dark Jedi:
I think 4.3 has fixed a lot of things. I know when the N7 got the update the tablet preformed like it was new tablet. Think Google is finally in the zone and should be reaching apple's stability real soon. Time will tell.
[HTC Rezound] mvmacd:
I don't know but I am s-on..

I use TWRP, and I just did a standard wipe. I have done a Clean Wipe [scot's I think] in the past.

At your suggestion I disabled Kernel Tuner's restore on boot, then went to Settings, Performance, set it to min 384, and checked restore on boot. Now to see if I get anymore reboots. [I have gotten 0-2 a day I think--it usually happens when I start using it, not when it's in sleep]

edit: I think I got maybe 1 hot reboot since then (couple days), and I haven't gotten any full reboots. so I'd say either upping the frequency or disabling kernel turner did the trick.
[HTC Rezound] replica9000:
I've never had much luck with Infection, but Tron was pretty stable for me.
[HTC Rezound] rgnicholas:
I wish you luck. I know that my specific setup may not apply across the board. I just know that whenever I try tweaking things TOO much, I get myself into trouble.
[HTC Rezound] amendolaro1:
flashed rom and when i go to settings I'm getting "unfortunately settings has stopped" any way to fix? reflashed and sam..
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
Need to make sure your firmware is up to date, make sure that you have a good download, ensure that you are in fact doing a clean wipe, and make sure you are flashing the boot.img after rom install via fastboot if you're S-ON
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
Everything worked fine for me on beta, few issues using v1.0, v1.1 I was getting constant random soft boots, flashing Snuzzo's v4.0 kernel stopped it and I notice no I'll aide effects, can anyone else verify this?

BTW I flashed v4.3 GApps prior to first boot, no FC's of any kind

The only constant issue I have had is that when I receive a call I lose 3G for the duration of the call. I use CDMA mode with no 4G on PagePlus and Infection never had this issue.

This post was by accident.

Well the messaging part..by any chance where you on a roll sending text messages? I use avast for SMS and call blocker but I did come across similar message telling me that my messaging app was malware. At the time I was like texting 10 people as we had a huge outage and I think it though my phone was SMS spamming

Try flashing a different kernel
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
Is all your settings in performance settings set properly? As in 384 min frequency
[HTC Rezound] Quadman:
Actually it was kind of the same. After I installed all my apps I ran Avast and everything came back ok. Then I received a text from ESPN and then from my wife. When I clicked on messaging that's when Avast popped up stating sms app was a Trojan/Malware. Try running Dr.Web. everything came back clean. Hope this helps.
[HTC Rezound] flamewalker:
Just wanted to say thanks to Rev3nt3ch... I took his advise and (While S-OFF) RUU'ed all the way back to 1.0 and skipped all the leaks, and just updated step by step up to global ota, then nandroided back to infection 2.9.1, and have since had no reboots (thus far).

If anyone has taken a leak in the past, I would highly suggest going S-OFF and going all the way back to the 1.0 ruu and going all the way back to current. I suspect one or more of the leaks I had loaded in the past were causing the bootloops.

I went:

1.00.605.3

2.01.605.11

3.14.605.12

3.14.605.13

4.03.605.2

4.05.605.14

If anyone needs any of the files let me know. I have the .13 and .14 OTA.zip files on my server. OTA.zip files must be loaded from stock recovery. Most of the rest can be found here (the .zips can be renamed to ph98img.zip and loaded from recovery):

[HTC Rezound] flamewalker:
Well... one reboot in 3 days. Still much improved :)

One of these days I will probably give tachyon another try :p
[HTC Rezound] drhile:
With the gapps fix on 1.1.5, its definitely worth trying.
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Although this is off-topic, I just don't see how RUUing multiple versions would have any chance of making any difference in stuff... RUUs were never intended for that, OTA update zip packages were, they actually format and clear the file system completely before installing their packages so everytime is a fresh install. CleanWiping everything and manually formatting the boot partition, then installing the latest RUU should be no different than what you are doing, just take a fraction of the time.
[HTC Rezound] flamewalker:
So it would seem. But, I can attest it has made a difference. I suspect it has something to do with the firmware, and taking leaks in the past instead of waiting for the ota. Must have been some bad bits that got leftover or something.
