[HTC Rezound] onlyclarity:
Need some help

Firstly, I am loving this ROM. Great work Neo and other devs who helped produce this.

I do however have a couple of serious questions regarding this ROM and what I have had happen in the process.

I am S-ON, rooted, Amon RA recovery and I was previously on ViperRez 1.0.3 ROM which I used the GB patch instead of RUU-ing up. I am not sure which HBOOT I am on, but I can post that information if you guys need me to.

So I had flashed Xtreme Outcast after ViperRez in order to try something closer to AOSP look and feel. I kept that for a day before feeling like it wasn't as featured as I wanted. That is when I stumbled into your JB based ports and decided on the TRON ROM.

I Downloaded the TRON.zip and placed it on the SD card of my phone, and I also did extract out the boot.img from a copy of the zip so I could flash it in Hboot like you mentioned in your Q&A. I had forgotten how to flash that in hboot specifically, so I researched and read that it could be placed inside of the PH98IMG.zip and then flashed that way in hboot. I did this using the PH98IMG.zip I had on my phone (hopefully it didn't have to be a specific one) but I replaced the boot.img with the one from the TRON zip and tried flashing it in hboot after the rom flash.

Hboot told me it failed to flash and to press power to reboot. Scared a bit, I pressed power and low and behold..Android in tron colors appears on my screen and the ROM boots after a minute or so. At this point I was a bit shocked and wondering why it worked after the failed flash. My kernel reads Snuzzy #1 so maybe something went well...either way the ROM was working perfectly in the first setup steps. However, here's the catch: it says SD card damaged on my notification bar permanently. I checked with android file explorer and sure enough, the internal memory does not appear. I connected to a windows 7 x64 PC and enabled usb mode: nothing for the internal, but removable SD working fine. This boggled me because I thought the system files were stored on the internal phone memory and if it was truly damaged, the ROM wouldn't boot right. It keeps giving me the message right after boot up, and tells me to format it to attempt to repair, but that seems like a horrible idea. I then checked the app manager and oddly it shows a small portion (2.5 gb or so) of internal storage, plus the remaining removable SD storage space. This makes me wonder if it got a bad diskpart during the flash and now part of the internal memory is shot and part works? Some help on this whole issue would be greatly appreciated. Any and all help would be great on this.

What should I do in your opinions:

Should I try to reflash the ROM and/or the boot.img, kernel etc.?

Also, I was hoping to upgrade to a new firmware and radio (I'm on baseband/radio 0.95.00.1118r, 0.95.00.1223r), is this a good idea?

Will I be stuck on this ROM permanently?

What are the full implications if my internal memory is permanently damaged?

I am not sure what is the best path so I will try whatever you guys have consensus on.

Thank you so much in advance for all of your time on these projects as the community greatly appreciates the work you all do.
