[Thunderbolt General] GMPOWER:
I was previously on the most up-to-date version of gingerbread, and used HTC Thunderbolt tool v1.0.1 to S-off/root the device.

I flashed stock recovery 2.11.605.9 to the device. I downloaded the following RUU_Mecha_GINGERBREAD_S_VERIZON_WWE_2.11.605.9_Radio_0.01.78.0916w_3_NV_8K_1.41_9K_1.64_release_226879_signed, pulled the rom.zip from it, and renamed it to PG05IMG.zip to flash it to the device. The device then updated itself to the most up-to-date gingerbread version. I then performed the update for ICS, it installed itself just fine, and the device booted up into ICS. I checked the bootloader, it says that I am S-off Hboot-6.04.1002, and Radio-2.02.00.1117r.

After restarting the device, I started HTC Thunderbolt tool v1.0.1. It asked if I wanted to install SU, I said yes, and it proceeded through it. Once the program finished its installation, I had the SU app in the app drawer, and downloaded ROM Manager so that I could install the recovery, it asked for SU permission to install it. I then restarted just fine into recovery to double check that it was there.
[Thunderbolt General] Tiezane:
So you pulled the OTA and it flashed fine with the Revolutionary Hboot and stock recovery? I have stock .19 recovery and the same hboot as you have there, running rooted stock, and the OTA failed for me. It tried to run and then failed about 1/3 of the way through.
[Thunderbolt General] dante020:
I plan on testing this some time in the next hour - I'm currently downloading the RUU. If I get to it tonight I'll update with the results.
[Thunderbolt General] mordant80:
That's great. I'm about to try myself, will report back if it works for me as well. Thanks!

Backing up current ROM now.. have the RUU on SD ready to flash.. Looks like RUU in trter10's sig has stock recovery in it, so going to try flashing RUU with 4ext and nusensex currently installed.

backup done.. formatting all except SD to be safe (ext3)

Loading PG05IMG.zip in bootloader...

Updating.. it says it Bypassed the bootloader... excellent... all others updated OK including recovery and radio..

rebooting.. seems to be starting up ok. Signed in to google, will check for OTA in a moment.

Found 395.638MB update (ICS) Downloading now.. appears to have enabled 3g to download even though i'm on wifi.. this my take a bit. not sure why it's not 4g at the moment.

hmm, ics loaded, when trying to root with the thunderbolt tool, phone reboots itself into the bootloader. any ideas? ok, had to choose the bootloader option, and then choose the fastboot option to go back in and it took. weird.

installed busybox and updated 4ext to the latest, looks like im in business.
[Thunderbolt General] trunkamonkey:
Actually, all you have to do is download the stock Rom. Then you can do the ota without unrooting. That is what I did.

---------- Post added at 05:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:45 AM ----------

I originally unlocked my boot loader through HTCDev. I installed root and clockwork recovery. Clockwork recovery prevented tho ota. So, I installed the stock Rom via recovery which overwrite clockwork recovery AMD unrooted the phone. I then did the ota. So now I have ics with unlocked bootloader. I should say that I spent half a day reading numerous web pages outlining complicated directions on unrooting and ways to remove clockwork recovery. In the end it was quite easy as stated above.
[Thunderbolt General] dante020:
Do you have a link to the file you used?
[Thunderbolt General] mordant80:
ruu is in trter's sig.. either way is easy. ruu will do radios, rom wont. only difference is you flash one in recovery on the other in the bootloader.
[Thunderbolt General] GMPOWER:
You first have to get to an unrooted state before the OTA update will fully install. While I was rooted, I had first just flashing the stock recovery, and then tried the OTA, it would stop at 1/3 with a red triangle, and I had to pull the battery. I then tried a factory reset, and the OTA would fail at the same point. I believe that the HTC Thunderbolt tool v1.0.1 has a feature to unroot your device, but I did not try that to see if the OTA would fully install. Someone might want to test that feature to see if the OTA will fully install after being performed.

I downloaded the RUU just to make sure that I had a clean system after the factory reset did not work. The RUU that I had referenced was just the one that I found the fastest, it could have been any of the RUUs. Once the system was clean from the RUU, the OTA was able to complete the installation.

---------- Post added at 01:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 AM ----------

It should reboot into the bootloader, and install 4ext so that it can install SU.
[Thunderbolt General] mordant80:
seems to just sit at the main bootloader screen and never do anything. the tbolt tool log says it's rebooting to bootloader to flash 4ext then says waiting on device but never seems to go anywhere.

Edit: got it, had to choose bootloader, and then go back in to fastboot for some reason.
[Thunderbolt General] dante020:
I have successfully updated while retaining my hboot and root. All I did was flash the RRU found in trter10's sig (http://goo.im/devs/trter10/PG05IMG.zip) and then install the OTA update. Initially it failed immediately upon download ("DOWNLOAD FAILED") and then I did a factory reset. It downloaded and installed correctly afterwards. Then I ran ThunderboltTool and installed root with no issues.
[Thunderbolt General] GMPOWER:
I would reboot and try to run through it again. When it boots into the bootloader make sure that you don't touch anything, you should see the vertical install progress bar pop up on the right side of the screen really fast, it should then boot into 4ext to install it.
[Thunderbolt General] RBarnett09:
So now that you installed the OTA, your bootloader still says that it is unlocked?
[Thunderbolt General] mordant80:
Alright, I am in need of volume unlock.. let me know if anyone gets that working.

The old volume wake mod i used on the leak isnt working for me.. http://forums.infectedrom.com/showt...e-ICS-SENSE-3-6-leak-Post-up-what-ya-got-guys!

Yep, mine is.

Revolutionary Hboot 6.04.1002
[Thunderbolt General] arunningpir8:
This tool DOES work with the ICS update. To do it, you must have the *REVOLUTIONARY* patched HBOOT S-OFF and install the RUU from trter10 (http://goo.im/devs/trter10/PG05IMG.zip) then accept the ICS update (without a SIM, put your phone into airplane mode, then enable wifi) and then after the update, just run the thunderbolt all in one tool and you will have stock rooted ICS.

I'm running it right now with WiFi tether as we speak no problems :)
[Thunderbolt General] dante020:
Yep, still on Revolutionary 6.04.1002 S-OFF

Can someone get me the android.policy.jar file under system/framework? I overwrote mine with the volumewake mod that didn't work. I want to see if I can use baksmali and take a look.
[Thunderbolt General] GMPOWER:
I put the jar and odex file into this zip.
[Thunderbolt General] mordant80:
Thank you so much! I'm deodexing everything now, then going to see about making changes in that file afterwards to get volume wake working. I'll post up if I do.

[HTC Rezound] Mystique:
Wife is loving the One XxX rom sense camera; (I would like to try other possibly lighter Sense Roms but that is a different story..) - Need a better AOSP camera..

Just not happy with the 1620 battery life.. (using snuzzo's kernel helped battery life greatly as well..)

(we're taking the train to NYC and CT for classes and battery life is sucking; already doing 3G cdma (prl auto))

Looking at extended batteries.. (or new phones - batteries are cheaper..)

Amazon has a Laza 3240 (currently about $25 with the back)

[Q] Does anyone have this? Assuming it works :P how's the added extra bulk and such?

[Q] And what then about a case/holster/"Otterbox" type thing? Suggestions?
[HTC Rezound] im_high_tech:
I have the oem Verizon extended and I use it on days when I don't see a charger for lengthy periods. I leave it on auto brightness and 4G and I get close to 4 hours screen time. Sometimes more. I dislike the bulkiness and people do ask me what's up with my phone..Lol

I prefer the 1620 battery for slimness but sometimes you gotta humble yourself and get the extended.
[HTC Rezound] rockehill10:
I also bought the Verizon oem extended battery when I bought the phone--it was on sale for half price--$25. It is bulky but when you need the juice, it does the trick. I also purchased the extended battery holster that Verizon sells at the same time. The Verizon battery is 2750 but easily last all day.
[HTC Rezound] KJSloan:
I bought the extended battery from Amazon (2750mAH). I use it with an Otterbox Defender. Definitely an improvement over the stock battery, but nothing profound. The phone will last me approx. 8-10 hours with medium use (playing music during my 35-40 min commute each way, texting, occasional web browsing). Timeout 30 seconds, auto-brightness on. I also use Juice Defender Ultimate/Set CPU to help with my battery life though. The bulk of the extended battery and defender case is definitely noticeable, but I personally prefer a large phone. I like having some weight to what I'm holding. It can be a chore to get it out of pockets on tighter fitting pants, and the silicon back has a tendency to come unset from the screen protector. However, it's not enough for me to stop using it. I'd recommend getting it still -- it's better than having to replace a screen (a lesson I learned twice before buying one).
[HTC Rezound] lamborg:
@OP and other people too

How long does your stock battery last? Are you able to get through your day?

I was thinking of getting a stock battery but then I am not sure if it'll be enough for me or not. I am usually away from charger for 10 hours straight.
[HTC Rezound] KJSloan:
TAClass Machinery

I'm lucky if my stocker lasts me more than 5-6 hours of medium use. 3-4 hours of heavier use (heavy web browsing and texting) on a good day. 30 second timeout, autobrightness on running juice defender ultimate/setCPU to conserve.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Agreed. With Snuzzo's latest Funky Kernel and Juice Defender running custom settings, I get about the same with the stock battery. I tend to keep the phone charging while in the office.

On weekends or when travelling I use the extended battery or even a Hyperion 3500 mAmp and that gets me through the entire day (but not necessarily "an" entire day, i.e. 24 hours).

One thing to be careful of with OEM batteries is the back, since the back has the antennae. The Hyperion back is useless -- I my Hyperion battery with the official Verizon supplied back with the extended battery.
[HTC Rezound] nolimit78:
That is some damned good advice. As soon as you said that I was like.. Duh!

How do you like the hyperion battery compared to the OEM extended?
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
I'd say the Hyperion gives me approx. 20% more than the OEM extended all other things being equal, however, on at least one occasion, I found the Hyperion battery was misreporting how much juice it had left, and all of a sudden I got a crazy 5% alert (after a long time trying to run the battery down). That's purely ballparking it, and remember 43% of all statistics are made up on the spot. ;)
[HTC Rezound] 318sugarhill:
I have the OEM Verizon extended as well. People ALWAYS comment on my brick phone. I hate it how big it is, and I still find it BS that the Iphone 5 can run all day on an internal, the droid razor maxx can run all day on an internal, but I have to have a brick to make it all day. Anyway I have a very low signal with no wifi at work, so if I can't charge it immediately after work, or need to go out at night, I definitly use the the brick....I mean extended. Lasts all day with heavy use. It really is the best option if you can't get to a charger. Mostly thought I use the stock battery, and give it a boost on the charger so I have plenty of power in the evening. I use the VZW silicone case with the extended battery and it protects it pretty well.
[HTC Rezound] scy1192:
I have the Laza extended battery. Works great, but with all the use, the back cover doesn't fully clip on (top left has a bit of a gap) and the ring around the headphone jack broke. Neither of these interfere with the usage. Battery life is definitely longer than the stock battery. I always slap it in before I go somewhere where I might not be able to charge and it hasn't failed me yet.
[HTC Rezound] leechgod27:
Even i got the laza extended battery from amazon(3250mAh).It is definitely better but its cover doesnt fit properly and phone becomes very very bulkier.I would instead suggest the 1750 mAh laza battery from amazon.They ship two units with a battery charger and a case to hold everything!And most importantly it does not require another back door,fits with stock back cover.Havent tried it but i think having a spare charged battery in pocket is far better than carrying a brick weight all the time :D
[HTC Rezound] bourgmw:
I used the OEM extended battery for a few months and got used to the bulk. It was ok but never as good as I thought it should be.

A few months ago I bought the LAZA extended battery and like it a lot more. It can get me through a day much, much better than the OEM extended battery. I kept the oem back cover though because I didn't like the "laza" printed on theirs. Works the same.

Last week I finally got a replacement rezound to fix the proximity sensor problem and wanted to try the slim thing again.

I'm trying the Laza standard size battery. It's rated better than the oem standard battery and for $23 you get 2 batteries & a charger.

It's not nearly as good as extended but is definitely an improvement over oem. Time will tell.
[HTC Rezound] jtpstealth:
Anybody know where to get the OEM cover only for the extended batteries? I ordered the Laza battery w/ cover and it should be here today, but I keep reading all kinds of hit or miss signal with the provided cover. So I guess I'm just hoping I get a good cover that actually works, and if not, I'll be wanting the OEM one. Any ideas are appreciated. Also, on a side note, HTC.com no longer even shows anything for the Rez. Sad, really. :(
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
Sadly, eBay is probably your best best for Rezound accessories now.
[HTC Rezound] jtpstealth:
Yea, kinda figured. I've been scoping it out the last couple days, but unfortunately for me, nobody is selling the cover alone. Fingers crossed for a good Laza one!!! Although one of the reviews on amazon for it said a guy had problems with the cover and they sent him a new one with a free case. That would be sweet! Lol.
[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
Zarboz the developer might sell one. I think the OEM cover is a good idea though.Have you tried adjusting the brass fittings and terminals or making some slight tweaks to make the terminals meet better. Several guys did that with foil spacers a while back that worked good for the life of the phone.

Also check with Verizon. I bought my extended battery and cover for like $20 bucks when the phone was popular. If it's been reduced or on their battery special or something it might be cheaper than ebay and shipping, or a little more expensive but worth it since you can walk in and get it, or hell test drive it in the store and see if it seems to help any before ordering it.
[HTC Rezound] jtpstealth:
Haven't gotten the battery yet. Still out for delivery. Just hoping I get a good one. From reading experiences and reviews from others, some work perfectly, others need replacement covers. Hopefully it arrives before I go home for the day, and I'll know for sure. Thanks for the tip tho. May try and make a trip to a VZ store in the next couple days if need be. I just saw they had nothing on the site. Didn't even think about going in.
[HTC Rezound] DoubleDeuce22:
How often do you replace your batteries I have had the 2750mah battery for a while now and now I struggle to get a full day. I guess I am trying to figure out if it is related to the different roms or time for a new battery.

Right i recently drowned my beloved S2 ":( So i bout one from amazon and got the insurance to fork out

When i received the phone (from china) it was a bit different. You had to put the battery and micro sd card in upside down. It was running an older version of android "gingerbread" i think.

I plugged it into kies. That's when i started running into problems. I had an error saying "your device does not support software upgrading via kies. So i used ODIN after failing to boot up half a dozen firmware. I finally booted up a version of ICS but the could connect to mobile network. "Full signal, sim card works in spare phone"

IEMI number:358414047102471

IEMI lookup results is that it is a SHW-M250S but that firmware gives out same result.

current stats:

PHONE: I9100NELP2

CSC: I9100H3GLP2

Also,some more advice..

If you plan on creating a help topic, dont use silly generic topic titles like "Help!!". These type of titles are not descriptive or specific to your topic content and will just mean you get lower views or possibly none at all.

Topic titles need to be descriptive of content so that people browsing forum can see what topic is about at a glance. Imagine if everybody who posted a help topic put "help" as their title!? :eek:

3. Restart in download mode

4. Run ODIN and connect phone

5.Make sure auto reboot + F. Reset time Ticked
