Re: [rom][jb][01.24.13] =TRONv1.2= [aosp-4.1.2][linaro]

Love this ROM. New life for my rezound.

One question, where do I go to fix permissions?
[HTC Rezound] brenuga:
Re: [rom][jb][01.24.13] =TRONv1.2= [aosp-4.1.2][linaro]

It was more likely the Beats installer than PA Settings. I ran Beats just fine on RAGE 2.3 but haven't tried on this ROM. All PA Settings do is give SystemUI hints on how to display apps.

boot.img

I dl'ed the rom and the md5 sums match. I extracted the boot.img and renamed it to PH98IMG.ZIP, and put it in the root of the internal and ext_sd (just to be safe). The rom installed with no hiccups but when I go to fastboot it ultimately say no image found-I've done this multiple times. Now I know not to flash this in recovery but when I checked to see if recovery would pick it up its not there-but it is on my card (reading 4.22mb)?? what the heck am I doing wrong? my luck it's something simple but I just cant figure it out.

Any help would be awesome-thanx in advance
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
The renaming trick doesn't work with the boot.img

You need to fastboot flash it
[HTC Rezound] brenuga:
That's not how you flash the boot.img.

After flashing the rom, go back to the bootloader screen. On your computer, (I assume you have adb setup), issue the command:

fastboot flash boot boot.img (you either have to specify the folder where the boot.img is, say /Downloads/boot.img, or place the boot.img in the same folder as the fastboot program)

If you don't have adb set up, read this: S-On and want to flash Roms? (androidforums.com) there is a link to download a mini-adb setup that doesn't require you to install the Android SDK.

Boot into your custom recovery (amon ra is the most stable). I forget which menu it's under, I think Developer or Other, but there is a command to Fix Permissions. It's automatic. The thing that Fix Permissions does is, OK, sometimes files get squirrelly and the system or an app can't correctly read and write to them. Fix Permissions puts everything back the way it should be. That's one of the main causes of boot loops.

Another main cause of boot loops is installing drivers/apps that contradict with another one. I don't remember where I read it, but it seems like Beats Installer and the Cyanogenmod DSP Settings (sometimes called Awesome Beats) do not play well with each other. That's because they're both trying to get set as the default system "Audio Effects" handler. If you want to do Beats Installer (which is the real HTC beats), uninstall DSP Manager / Awesome Beats (which is a software-driven clone of Beats) or freeze it and then run Beats Installer again.

I once boot-looped myself just changing the stock system font on Gingerbread. That's why it's always good to do a backup.

Copy paranoid wallpapers.apk from system/app to your SD. Apk is just a package version of zip, so just rename it from paranoidwallpapers.apk to paranoidwallpapers.zip. then go to the res folder, then drawable-nodpi folder. Then extract. Back out and look for the paranoidwallpapers folder, theyre inside that. If you still have issues I'll upload them for you

This works best with ICS firmware, not patched.

Best way to flash the kernel is via adb fastboot.

Here's a global ICS firmware if you wish to install it. Flash it in bootloader-> http://db.tt/4TTpPx6l

Install Amon-Ra recovery after, also in bootloader -> http://db.tt/awb7zsof

On asop there is no sdcard / sdcard 2. Its emmc (internal) and sdcard (removable)

If you flash the global ruu that I provided you could load this back up or load ViperRez, no more patch needed.

Flashing ruu will wipe internal/emmc.
[HTC Rezound] onlyclarity:
More help

Okay Br0ken, I'm going to ask you some specifics to ensure that I'm reading you right here:

I understand that the emmc and SD are separate items. Even on Sense ROMs I saw them listed as emmc and sd-ext if I remember right. My issue is that the phone is throwing a SD card damaged notif bar all the time and it seems to be referring the to emmc as I cannot mount or access emmc in file explorers or in windows.

Will flashing the boot.img through adb fastboot possibly fix this emmc damaged issue or is that completely unrelated? Do you believe that a simple successful flash of the kernel thru adb could be a full solution? ( Is boot.img the same thing as kernel?, I forget.)

Also, how purposeful is flashing the RUU and what does it entail fully? Would I need to redo the HTCDev relock and unlock after or is it only the few steps you listed above? Also, if I flash the RUU, do I push Amon through adb or bootloader as well? You also mentioned that flashing RUU will wipe the emmc, but if it is truly damaged, how will it be able to mount the drive to format it?

You see, all of this together is quite baffling to me, but I do understand the smaller pieces of the puzzle. I just need some guidance and specifics before I feel comfortable tackling the issue at hand. At this point, I am very excited about staying on AOSP, so I would like to fix the "SD card Damaged" error and stay on the TRON rom or other AOSPs. What is my best bet to achieve this in your opinion? Thank you so much for your prompt reply and the most specific you can be is of utmost help to me as I am still feeling out of date on the newest methods.

I would like to know what the simplest fix is with the fewest steps, but would also like to know if you would advise a more difficult method granted it provides more stability in the future.

Sorry for being such a nooby pest, haha! I don't try to be..

Re: [rom][jb][01.24.13] =TRONv1.2= [aosp-4.1.2][linaro]

I'll bite:

Easiest method would probably be to reflash the rom, flash the old gb firmware patch (like you did for viper), then redo the boot.img via fastboot. If you go with the method of replacing the boot.img in another zip file, make sure you use 7zip as that will leave a signing intact.

More complicated but still easy method (for future ease of flashing as well as updated firmware/radios) would be to ruu with the file provided by broken (it will wipe internal, I believe external sd is safe but backup shouldn't hurt). I believe you will need to re-lock since you're not s-off (get to that later). You will need to push amon ra again after, then reflash rom, then do the boot through fastboot or ph98img as noted above.

Most complicated but still easy would be to s-off (easiest for future flashing, but not for everyone) , then flash the rom by itself and profit. S-off is pretty easy following the guides posted here.

The GB patch was never meant to get a JB rom to work well. Antone who is flashing a JB rom needs to at least be on the first ICS firmware leak. The patch can get you away with not upgrading firmware to get on ICS roms but it does a great disservice when attempting jb ROMs. Thanks to those who answered the question before I got the chance to.

Thanks and possibly last question

Thank you to all who have given some advice on this, I truly appreciate you all taking the time out of your busy days to help me.

The more I think about it, the more I feel I should just S-OFF and be done with the BS I've run into with S-ON.

My question here then is what exactly the procedure would look like if I was S-OFF?

Would I be correct in the following steps and please correct me if I am incorrect:

I am currently sitting on a weird spot with fresh wipe, no rom installed, S-ON and wondering where to start.

1. Perform S-OFF procedure using instructions provided three posts above.

2. Flash RUU in bootloader/hboot?

3. Flash Amon RA in bootloader/hboot?

4. Flash whatever ROM desired and profit?

Would that be correct? Please correct me if I am wrong on any steps or in any way I am thinking. I am highly interested in being well-informed and won't be upset if you slap some sense (no htc pun intended) into me. Thanks again all, you are the reason this phone stays alive.

If you were S-off and on ICS firmware, all you'd ever have to do when flashing any ICS or JB roms is wipe, then flash the rom. Done. :)

The procedure you have outlined is that of updating your firmware. You will still remain S-on though.

Re: [rom][jb][01.24.13] =TRONv1.2= [aosp-4.1.2][linaro]

Ah poop, just when I get my phone set up on Tron too. I think I may stay on this ROM a bit. I'm really liking it a bunch.

Phones: HTC Rezound (current) | HTC Droid Incredible
[HTC Rezound] onlyclarity:
Oh the joy..

Oh I totally understand what you mean, but I was implying that in step one I'd gain S-OFF first, then do the RUU firmware update things, then move onto whatever rom I wanted (definitely one of yours now that you got me hooked!).

@Dontpushbuttons: I tried to reflash ViperRez (which had the internal memory showing up fine again both in windows and on phone), then reflashed Tron, flashed gb patch, then flashed the kernel thru adb fastboot method this time. Phone stuck on the tron "ANDROID" letters for over 5 minutes so I decided to try some other stuff and finally now I'm right back to where I started: "sd card damaged" error and fresh Tron install.

I have been wiping the following each time I try things: wipe all data/factory reset, wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, and the last time I even wiped system to be sure. So perhaps the easiest method is a no go?

At this point I think you have all inspired me to try the entire S-OFF, flash the RUU and AMON again, and then go from there with whatever new goodies Neo puts out. I am happy enough with what I've seen in the Tron ROM to know that I'm hooked on Neo&team projects and would like the ease of flashing his roms with S-OFF, plus I still gotta get updated from this old 0.95----- radio/baseband.

My final lingering question for you guys is what I should have on my phone before I start the S-OFF/RUU/AMON procedure? Does it matter whatsoever or should I just get the insulated wire, read the guide a time or two and start my journey? If I S-OFF first, I shouldn't need to relock and unlock my bootloader again correct? And as far as the RUU steps, is that really just as easy as pushing it through the adb fastboot along with Amon? Do correct me if I'm wrong on that.

Again guys, all the help is so very much appreciated. I feel so out of the loop lately because I took the lazy route and did the minimum to get ViperRez on my phone using the gb patch shortly after I got it last May, and now I'm not on the same page as many of you.

@Neo, I am going to make sure I send you a small donation for all your work as it is superb from the little I have seen so far. I'm a pretty poor guy currently, so I'm sure it won't be much to you, but hopefully some coffee or perhaps just a few more red pills so you can tumble further down that rabbit hole. I'm a huge matrix fan btw, so I love the matrix references I'm seeing on the threads. Keep up the work Neo and thanks again for your responses.

Re: [rom][jb][01.24.13] =TRONv1.2= [aosp-4.1.2][linaro]

@only clarity, to s-off you need to read the guides until you fully know the process. Also watch YouTube video a few times. I think someone made an s-off toolkit which helped me. I used an insulated paperclip and trimmed the ends. The first time I did it, I got it to work in 2-3tries. The second time took about 30 minutes. So don't think you did something wrong if the wire trick takes a while. I did it while watching the YouTube video step for step.

Also don't unlock boot loader again pia if you need to send back to Verizon. I don't think you need any GB patch. Download and flash in recovery the latest ICS RUU and a recovery.

There is also something about updating hboot, but I think that's option and explained in the guides.
[HTC Rezound] DontPushButtons:
Re: [rom][jb][01.24.13] =TRONv1.2= [aosp-4.1.2][linaro]

Ahh, figures on the gb firmware patch. Like neo said, it was never intended for jb.

I think you should probably be on a stock rom in order to do the s-off procedure (could be mistaken on this, I think I may have been on a stock rom, but other ROMs have been reported to work). They should tell you what you'll need before you start in that guide that i posted.

I don't believe you can push an ruu through fastboot (I could be entirely wrong here) but I usually do mine through hboot. It reboots one or two times during install so that it can update the partitions. I always recommend doing a factory reset (using hboot or stock recovery) after installing an ruu, just to negate any risk of data issues on later rom flashes. Definitely not required, but also couldn't hurt.
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
Re: [rom][jb][01.24.13] =TRONv1.2= [aosp-4.1.2][linaro]

strange issue with Maps + People app

Having a strange issue with the included Maps and People/Contacts apps. If I launch Maps, hit the Directions icon, then choose Contacts from the dropdown menu for End Point, the People app comes up but my contacts are displaying in strange fashion. Everything is displaying alphabetically by first name, but the alphabet separators are in the wrong place. If I'm looking at "L" names, as I scroll through them, they're displaying under "L", "M", "N", etc., not just under "L". At the end of the alphabet, it's as if the app has run out of the letter separators and all the names are all grouped together (the T-Z names are all under "Z"). It's hard to describe, hopefully this makes sense.

I also noticed that if I launch the People app by itself, this problem doesn't exist. It's only if you launch the People app from the Maps app.

Had an odd thing happen yesterday.

Was holding a training session on a new system, and there ended up being no wifi at the location, contrary to what I had been told.

I ended up tethering using my Rez, had four laptops running off of it, three of which were fresh installs of WinXP so they were DLing updates, JRE, Chrome, etc.

Anyways, at the end of the day (~9 hrs) I went to turn off the tethering on my poor phone, and the screen was unresponsive. Turned screen off/on several times and couldn't get the screen to notice my touches. Did a battery pull and then couldn't turn phone back on. Placed phone on charger in my car on the way home and noticed that the battery was drained past the point of being able to boot.

Let it charge for a while, then attempted to boot, stayed at the boot ani for 20 mins. Ended up restoring a recent nand of just the system and boot, everything seems to be fine now.

My Question is: was the inability to boot possibly due to FSYNC being disabled?
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
SUPER odd... You got me there. I have no idea? Could possibly be due to the mod that controls what the system reads as the current battery level? The very thing I need to fix in the next update to give proper battery level readings. That may have had something to do with it?
