I just flashed FunkyBean 3.4 (the one I had downloaded from Snuzzo, NOT from the boot.img of 2.7), and my WiFi tether (with WPA2) is working again. I am posting this from my Nexus 7, which is currently tethered to my Rez.

---------- Post added at 01:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:49 PM ----------

OK, so maybe i will download and install FunkyBean 3.5 and see how it does. :)
[HTC Rezound] bbgreen:
Will FB 3.5 Saber Mod be a separate zip?
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
Yes. Will be re-uploading the rom as 2.8.1 and deleting 2.8 from my database
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
[MENTION=4203241]IAmTheOneTheyCallNeo[/MENTION]

All I did was flash the zImage and paired it with the ramdisk from cm10 6/10 build.

Used dd so its a direct copy right off my Rez. Then compressed it through slight modification to bootimg.cfg
[HTC Rezound] jsmuli2:
firmwares?

What are the recommended radio and firmware for this ROM?

Noob Question

Hey guys... I have a bit of a noob question. I am trying to flash the boot.img from 2.7 via fastboot in order to restore tethering, however I get an error message "Remote not allowed". I am on the latest hboot (2.28) and it does show locked. However, I am also S-Off so I didn't think the bootloader needed to be unlocked but I could be wrong.

I can revert back to my 2.7 nandroid or wait for 2.8.1. However, I'd like to know what I may be doing wrong just for future reference. The command I am using is "fastboot flash boot boot.img". 2.8 is amazingly fast and smooth, so I'd like to stay with it if possible.

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Either revert your hboot down to jb 2.25, or wait patiently on Neo.

Wireless Tethering

Does anyone know how to enable wireless tethering on version 2.7? if so, please post. Does this violate Verizon's terms of service? If it does, does that mean that they can cancel my contract? Has anyone been using it for a while without Verizon catching on?
[HTC Rezound] Dark Jedi:
Was about to post I lost all data even with a restart. Then I checked my toggles and somehow I turned off data. So I guess that's the reason why data wouldn't work lol. One of those brain fart moments lol. Everything is so quick, smooth and fluid.

Beings my data tethering works should I bother with 2.8.1?
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
Wait for the post name change
[HTC Rezound] 3L3C7R0:
Will we have to clean flash 2.8.1 over 2.8 or will it be a fix? Also, can I make one request? Is it possible to add in an auto rotate toggle?
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
Dirty flash will suffice.

There is already a power widget status bar toggle for enabling and disabling auto orientation/rotate
[HTC Rezound] Cares:
There is an auto-rotate toggle. You have to add it from the menu.
[HTC Rezound] calvinb1:
Ah ok, thanks for the reply. Sounds like the 2.28 Hboot does not support flashing the boot.img. I thought I may have been doing something wrong.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
It does, but that's with any stock hboot that it needs unlocked to allow remote communication.
[HTC Rezound] stankopp:
The only time I had Old Spinner was with 2.6. I was able to past Old Spinner by clearing caches. What happened then was that it went trough the "optimizing 118 applications" phase and then hung on "starting applications" phase. There has to be some clue there.

I have had no hangs (they're not really bootloops) with 2.7. I always shut down with the free version of Quick Boot. I do use Quick Boot to reboot to recovery or to the bootloader. I have swapped batteries, just restarted, whatever and so far so good.

I am 2.7 with the latest hboot and radios, Amon Ra 3.16 and s-on.
[HTC Rezound] ChuckZv2:
Hey I'm sorry if this has been mentioned in any previous post regarding 2.8

I keep getting process errors for Gapps. I'm not sure if it has to do with Aptoid I use it along with google play to update and keep my apps recent.

Also i noticed that when i edit the quick settings panel icons it doesn't save my layout after I customize it. (the quick settings drop down bar)

Thanks for hearing me out and again sorry if it was mentioned before.
[HTC Rezound] Edvard_Greig:
Does this apply to S-ON too? Is there a change in the boot.img? Just trying to find out if I'm going to have to track down a computer I can run fastboot from to get my tether working again :D
[HTC Rezound] dottat:
Can you define properly ?

usb mass storage not showing up in windows after setting up usb tetheri - explanation

Hey all,

I recently tripped myself out when I got USB tethering to work by 'forcing' the driver to be the HTC remote NDIS driver... I found it 'breaks' the USB mass storage feature (with tethering turned off... they don't seem to coexist)

the trick was to go into device manager and 'update' the driver on the HTC remote NDIS device and it should (at least for me) automatically go back to the USB mass storage device driver and all is well again.

Just wanted to drop this here in case anyone searches for the issue!

Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] Dark Jedi:
I haven't had no boot loops but did have two reboots while trying to turn the screen on within 15 min of each other.
[HTC Rezound] ChuckZv2:
Hope you get a chance to fix this neo. Check your inbox BTW!
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
Wow.. I have a lot of messages lol I'll check them later!

The problem you're having is most likely related to the app you're using. No problem here with gapps. I've been quite busy today so the boot.img swap out I did earlier got put on hold. About to push 2.8.1 now. I will upload the boot.img after for those who already flashed 2.8 and don't wish to reflash a rom simply for a boot.img swap out.
[HTC Rezound] thatsricci:
You have to click the 'save' button on the lower right after customizing your quick-settings panel.

Update

INFECTION-2.8.1 GCC-4.9:

***CLEAN FLASH REQUIRED IF COMING FOM 2.7***

*Fixed Wireless Tethering by swapping the borked boot.img (kernel) that was included in 2.8 for the same SaberMod GCC-4.8 Funky Kernel compiled by Snuzzo.

The boot.img is listed in the op for users currently running INFECTION-2.8
[HTC Rezound] thatsricci:
My bad. The save button is in the lock shortcuts editor.... Mine saves my layout automatically... Maybe fix permissions?
[HTC Rezound] Cares:
Fastboot boot.img makes tethering working perfectly with new FB3.5 kernel! Thanks for your work!
[HTC Rezound] ChuckZv2:

[HTC Rezound] mikeyman67:
flashed boot

Just flashed boot.img and encrypted wifi tether works beautifully. This ROM is super fast and smooth. So far so good. Google voice search seemed to hang like before, but I found that if I configure Google Now (no thanks maybe later) voice search works again. Hopefully it stays that way.

Awesome job Neo and team. This is really top quality work.
[HTC Rezound] Luke1213:
excuse me, but do u know how to flash boot.img without a PC?
[HTC Rezound] xXezmacXx:
I'm on 2.7 still. To get on 2.8.1 I just need to wipe and flash? No need to flash boot.img?
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Grab the LunarTools standalone and use option 4(flash boot from zip)
[HTC Rezound] Luke1213:
where do i place the boot.img? sdcard/lunar/ right? how do i rename it? boot_CWMTouch6.0.3.2.img?
[HTC Rezound] mikeyman67:
I did mine via USB and a Mac. A quick google of the topic came up with Goo Manager from the Play store. I never did use this. Are you S-Off? You can always download the whole new ROM and dirty flash it. Should keep all as it is except the boot.img.
[HTC Rezound] wiredwrx:
There are instructions in this thread, and it is easy. If you are on a metered plan with verizon, it is not a violation of Verizon's TOS. If you are granfathered with an Unlimited plan, it is a violation of their TOS. A recent court case ruled that Verizon can not limit tethering on metered plans because it violates an agreement V had with the government when they bought radio spectrum. If they sell you 2 gigs, you can use 2 gigs no matter how you like.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
There is no way to flash a pure boot.img. Option 2 is for flashing recovery only.
[HTC Rezound] Flandro:
So after flashing the boot image and rebooting, my Swiftkey keyboard was no longer installed. I tried redownloading it from the Play store and get 'unknown error code during install:"-24" '. Fix permissions doesn't resolve the issue. Any ideas? other apps download fine and no other apps seem to be missing. Also restoring swiftkey with titanium doesn't work. just hangs/.
[HTC Rezound] MARKREIF:
I did the same thing and native tethering is now working fine.
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
That's because it's the exact same kernel as what's in 2.7

For those asking about whether or not they have to flash the boot.img for 2.8.1...

That is the only change between 2.8 and 2.8.1.... Thus, the boot.img is what you want.

If coming from 2.7, clean wipe and flash 2.8.1. If you are S-on, you will need to flash the boot.img included in the kernel.

Yes it is the same boot.img listed in the op.

Hope it's running smooth for you guys :)

-Neo
[HTC Rezound] Flandro:
I tried wiping cache and dalvik then tried even installing swift key using the apk. No go. Gonna do a clean flash of the rom
[HTC Rezound] MARKREIF:

So, lately I have been using tumblr and I see that gif posts do not play when clicked on. Help?
[HTC Rezound] aznjosh:
It's smooth. Feels smoother with 2.8.1 than it was on 2.8 with funky 3.4. Dunno if it's all mental or not
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
It probably is mental (placebo) lol

Snuzzo and I both agree that the kernel feels smoother with the SaberMod 4.8 GCC than both the linaro 4.7 and 4.8 gcc. The kernel that is in 2.7 is FB 3.4 linaro 4.7
[HTC Rezound] Neo:

Is it possible to flash a boot.img after flashing a ROM without a computer possibly with your phone or a recovery when S-on?

I tried to read everything but is the verdict that we should plug in the phone while we are rebooting to avoid boot loops for now? Thanks. :confused:
[HTC Rezound] Icedice34:
When on my home screen not doing anything, the bottom half of my screen is doing a weird flash. It's like a white box roughly 3/4ths of the bottom half of my screen. Doesn't completely go white, just a transparent flash. Also doesn't appear to affect anything, and if I'm using my phone I don't notice it. Any one else seeing this?
[HTC Rezound] nimbice:
I always run dev inverted. The auto download thing happened in 2.7 dev. Unless you misnamed a release?
[HTC Rezound] Luke1213:
i met with this in previous versions once. maybe you need another clean flash.

Verizon Tethering

I have been reading up on this issue, and I see that many many people have gotten away with it even on an unlimited plan. I am not sure that I will use it since I have a 30 Mb/s connection at home and dont really use my tablet or laptop out of the house.. but just to spite Verizon, for their idiotic policies, I am using every app I know to download legal things and then wiping the cache or deleting the files and re-downloading them.. since they say I only use ~4gb a month and want me to go from an unlimited plan to a capped one.. I LAUGHED and politely declined.. I am just going to make them think I use 8-10gb from now on.. doing it all legally and only once I have a few statements that say i use 8-10gb, I will just use my phone normally and tether. Problem solved!!
[HTC Rezound] Cares:
Okay............? (Confused)

What's the point besides wasting your own time?
[HTC Rezound] Avasta:
Because if all of a sudden this month I start using 10GB of data, when for the past 2 years I have consistantly been using 4GB of data... Verizon might catch on and check my internet usage.. but if I now normally use 10GB and they check the internet usage and see that it is all going to my phone and no where else.. then they have nothing they can bill me for. No?

I see earlier in the thread where Touch CWM seems to be the recovery of choice now. I am still running AmonRa dating back to when I first learned that CWM caused a problem with charging a dead battery on the Rezound. Is that still an issue? Although I don;t make it a habit to drain my battery to 0% often, it did happen once and I would hate to deal with that again. ;)

I have not personally done it, however Snuzzo mentioned in a few posts back that it can be done using his LunarTools. Go have a look at the LunarTools thread. Looks straightforward
[HTC Rezound] Icedice34:
So does that mean CWM is the recovery of choice? Better than amon? What does it offer over Amon?
[HTC Rezound] syikho:
I was not able to successfully flash CWM and boot into an AOSP ROM. I could boot into a stock sense ROM however. What worked for me was using TWRP recovery and haven't had any issues using the newest release. I came from Amon RA as well, just a heads up to hopefully avoid the hassle I had. I'm also S-Off.
[HTC Rezound] hoovnick:
So yeah, flashed 2.8.1 this morning. Nothing but smooth and snappy! Another killer ROM Neo! Using Amon RA still with no problems
[HTC Rezound] shankville75:

Same kernel, same rom. No features have changed, only built utilizing an improved gcc compiler method for a smoother rom.

What do you mean by "the ION version of this rom"? I am new to the whole rooting thing, but I learn quite quickly, just cant figure out what ION stands for...

By the way, if you work on multiple roms for the same phone, then what is the practical difference between all the roms you work on?
[HTC Rezound] Gornul:
MASSIVE problems upgrading to this.

Downloaded it to my phone. Factory wipe 2x, data/cache/dalvik wipe 5x each. Installed the ROM.

After I finished doing Setup Wizard, the launcher came up with my old wallpaper still in place. Started getting massive stacks of errors when it attempted to auto-download my apps (which, I do dig the feature, gotta say). I tried rebooting, and the boot animation just spun for 20+ minutes with no effect.

Restored back to my 2.7 nandroid, and all my apps and such are missing THERE too, but at least I can restore my TiBu and SMS backups and carry on as I had been.

What the BALLS just happened? Did the definition of "clean install" change since 2.7, or did I screw something up elsewhere?

I was having issues sending MMS but that apparently fixed itself.
[HTC Rezound] Jeffhay:
That's about where I'm at with it, too. 2xfactory reset from TWRP and flashed away. I like the google restore. I then went and restored the data from some of my apps with TiBU and so far no bootloops or problems.

I do wish I knew of a way to restore my custom ringtone per contact settings. Its a pain to set them up manually each time.

Rebooting when turning screen on after notification

So, I'm one of the few who has a reboot issue. I was on 2.5 for a long time and everything was smooth. I skipped 2.6 but when 2.7 was released, I upgraded. That's when the reboots started happening. Not to be confused with the bootloops others are talking about. Just a plain reboot. I upgraded to 2.8 and then 2.8.1. All full versions.

So, then I thought maybe I'll try the 2.8.1 dev version. Still have the same issue.

Then, I thought it was just Trillian causing the issue. It seemed that when I would get a notification from Trillian and I turned on the screen, it would hang with just a black screen and then reboot after 10-20 seconds. This would occur about 1 time out of 10.

So, I decided to give Trillian a break today, but this seems to occur now with any type of notification (Email, SMS, Trillian).

I'm going to revert back to the steady 2.5 for now but, if anyone has some input, I would greatly appreciate it.

Checking MD5 Checksum

Okay so I would like to start checking the md5 checksum of ROMS before I install them onto my phone. Can someone please give me a heads up if I am doing this correctly or not.

-I'm using MD5 Check Utility v2.31

- I copy the md5 from the thread of whichever ROM I choose to install

- Paste it onto the software

- Browse and select the ROM I would like to flash using the MD5 Software

- Verify that both md5 are correct

What does it mean if "The codes do not match!"?

(Please someone enlighten me on what the point of checking md5 is for?)
[HTC Rezound] Cares:
Checking the MD5 is to make sure you are using the exact same file that the developer intended to publish. If you downloaded a corrupt file or something and you flashed it you could potentially brick your phone.
[HTC Rezound] kopower:
When the ROM boots up the first time, there is a screen that's asks if you want to restore contacts, and apps. Just leave the box checked, and Google will automatically redownload the apps that were installed on the phone.

Realize this is now baked in and I have a need to make adjustments since the default left me unable to return to the call screen. How should this be assisted, up versus down?
