I edited my post above while you posted.

Do you have a nandroid of your stock global RUU? If so, you'll easily find the boot.img file in there. If not I'll try to upload the kernel again, or put it on dropbox if I can get back into my account (I never use it).

Once you have the kernel, pull the battery and put it back then boot into bootloader and put phone in fastboot. Attach to Mac, then use fastboot and this command:

fastboot flash boot boot.img (I named the one I'm trying to upload to ruuglobal_boot.img, you can either rename it or just flash using that name instead of boot.img)
[HTC Rezound] 318sugarhill:
I hopefully have a nandroid backup on the SD card, but I will tell you it's been a long time since I installed the RUU. I've been out of the rom'ing rooting/ fiddling game for a long time. I haven't had the time recently and apparently it ain't like riding a bike. I've had to read a ton today to refresh myself.

My dinc was so easy, you didn't have to know a whole lot. Just download a zip, check the MD5, and flash it. Rezound was more complicated with the S-on, so I didn't even bother getting started....just the RUU to ICS before it was official, and then the RUU to Global. So yes, I am running the RUU you listed.

Anyway, I don't have a way of reading the SD card until I get home to find the nandroid.....and I've never looked at a nandroid made with Amon Ra....I only was used to CWM on the Dinc.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
I got into my dropbox account. Here's a link to the global RUU kernel.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/55641774/ruuglobal_boot.img

If it works, can you please post a screenshot of your kernel and baseband info?

I'm curious to see what it says, if there's a way to see if it was the OTA that caused this.

[HTC Rezound] 318sugarhill:
Was there an OTA recently?
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Yep. A week or two ago:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2154288

You know, I apologize, but I somehow glossed over the end part of your first post where you are now dead. To be honest, that happened to me on my first Rez, and it happened a few days after the ICS OTA came out. I was never able to revive it and bought a used one which I'm using now. (Mine had a cracked screen so I couldn't get it replaced under warranty and had no insurance.)

I tried a new battery, had my old battery checked at Verizon to see if it would take a charge and it did but it wouldn't in my phone. Never was able to revive it. Hopefully you will be able to...
[HTC Rezound] 318sugarhill:
DAMN. Oh well. They will replace it most likely, and it seems like the easiest route to take. My wife's bootloader fried itself on here Moto D2 last year and it was LONG passed warranty and they replaced it......It was completely stock, but they had no way of knowing, so I'm sure they will send me a replacement phone. I just hope they still have Rezounds to send. I don't want to get stuck with something they determine for me because there are no more rezounds.

My wife's rezound is completely stock, never unlocked so I'll see if she got the update.
[HTC Rezound] 318sugarhill:
ok, the phone has life again..... I got home, tried the other batteries and I'm back to the white HTC screen but no boot. I CAN get into recovery now so I will download the kernel and try that.

Before I do that, do you think something could have happened to recovery since when I select recovery from the bootloader it goes blank? Do you think flashing a rom like Nils could work? or can I just run the RUU again?
[HTC Rezound] 318sugarhill:
Ok, I loaded the boot.img and no dice. Still stuck at the white HTC screen. This is frustrating now. Now I do NOT want to go to the VZW store as my bootloader says tampered unlock. I guess I can always try to run the RUU again.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Well, don't give up just yet.

There was an unbrick thread in the dev section. It didn't help me and I'm not sure it applies to your situation, but it can't hurt to try it. I know it had [UNBRICK] in the title, so if you search for unbrick you should find it. You need to get a Linux live img and put in on a usb flash drive and boot into that and then see if it can find your device. It never found mine.
[HTC Rezound] 318sugarhill:
Well, if I can get into the bootloader I can relock to run the RUU correct? I hate to have to lose everything, but I do need the phone, and if it was toasted, I would have to start over with a replacement anyway. Nothing on there can't be replaced except some pictures, but it won't kill me. Just a hastle. Should I try to relock and run the RUU? or should I try to load a Rom like Nils business sense for S-ON? I was considering trying it.
[HTC Rezound] 318sugarhill:
I gave up bro. This sounds way over my head. I relocked and am running the Global RUU again. I will unlock again and load amon ra, and run the su binary zip I have again. Not worth this much time. My 3 year old is tearing up the place while I bury my face in my computer. :mad:
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Yeah, I would go with that, not sure you have any other options.

If you haven't done the RUU yet you can try just doing the recovery first and see if you can get into it to save your files.
[HTC Rezound] 318sugarhill:
I tried pushing the recovery again, I tried the boot (all three that were in the nandroid backup) and some other things on here I saw. Nothing worked. Just stayed at the white HTC screen. Relocking and running the RUU made the phone usable again. Thanks for your help, but my stuff is gone. After spending what feels like forever setting up the phone to make it usable again, it will all be gone when I unlock again. Don't have time to do that tonight, but this weekend I'll get to it.

Not everything is gone. I do have titanium but I haven't backed up in a while, so they will be old backups, but still backups. Lesson learned....schedule backups more frequently.....reset my dropbox to auto upload pics again. Turned it off Christmas day, and never turned it back on. The cloud is there for a reason right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Theoriginalgiga:
in a nutshell, the whitehouse agrees that the DRM ruling was never intended to prevent owners from unlocking their phone. Though no official change has occurred, it's a step in the direction to reverse the initial ruling.

You're completely welcome for the update. I figured since the last thread on how it was illegal was such a big deal I figured I'd share a tidbit of information for those who don't normally read other tech news or other threads. You could have just left the thread to die like it was going to do instead of having such a huge stick planted so deeply that you felt so entitled to instead of saying nothing or a simple thanks you HAD to comment in such a jerkish manner.

Again you're welcome

WRONG

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/the-white-house-replies-and-they-agree/

1: not ads

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/the-white-house-replies-and-they-agree/

2: I don't save history at ALL...don't have cookies enabled AT ALL

3: the stories shown on the side of the forums are updates AS THEY ARE POSTED ON THE PORTAL

4:

most people don't pay attention to anything posted on the portal around here and because of that, there are always threads started with links to a story somewhere else that people could have seen the day before here on XDA if they were actually paying attention

5: AGAIN, those are NOT ADS......THOSE ARE STORIES FROM THE XDA PORTAL THAT ARE UPDATED AS THEY ARE POSTED. "geo-based"....lmfaoooo ....I love how many "experts" we have around here

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/the-white-house-replies-and-they-agree/

6: I'm running an AD BLOCKER and if you actually looked at the screen shot I've posted, you would have realized that.

7: THOSE ARE NOT ADS, THOSE ARE STORIES FROM THE XDA PORTAL AND AD BLOCKERS DO NOT MAKE THEM GO AWAY

8: The funny thing is that MODS are going to see this thread and laugh at everyone here who is trying to attack me for being "wrong". I'm not here to hold hand with morons and tell them they are right. The reason why most of you people think you know more than you do is because you have idiots following you around all day listening to your crap and they don't have the common sense to tell you that you're WRONG.

I don't have a problem with idiots....I just have a problem with idiots having an internet connection. ;)

This thread is no longer worth my time. Have fun trying to convince yourselves that you can find a way to prove my first post wrong.

And just in case you idiots didn't see the link I've posted to the "ad" (I still can't believe you think those are ads) on the portal...here it is again:

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/the-white-house-replies-and-they-agree/

This STORY (not an ad) only has 16 comments. WHY? Because people don't even bother checking the portal for news and updates around here. Yet someone can post a link to the same content on a different site and people will go 5 pages deep in a thread around here. It just shows the problem XDA members have with actually using the sources on the site to find the information they need/want.

You people wonder why you have so many problems installing ROMS and finding things on XDA. You don't READ or pay attention to ANYTHING around here and this thread proves it. Go ahead, check my post history all you want. See how many post you find by me trying to get help with something around here. You will find that it hasn't happened much if at all because I actually READ AND PAY ATTENTION. You will also see that I never post anything that has already been posted on the portal because I READ AND PAY ATTENTION.

There's actually no need for this thread. As mentioned its in the portal. Also this law never really affected this device.... So it shouldn't be here anyways... Thread locked

So apps with SuperSu permission won't have to ask the user the SU priviledges? That would be even more dangerous.

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] MOSSMAN:
Looking for instructions or someone who has experienced taking an XDA apart in order to replace the touch-screen.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] :
replacement screen

replacing the screen is a fairly easy job. You just remove the back screws, (you might need a small hex shaped screw driver) and prize appart. There are clips around the inside of the outer casing holding them together, then there are 2 small black screws on the main PCB. removing this will expose the back of the screen. Once you have done that you remove the four screws at the top and bottom of the screen, and its away. You will need to remove 3 ribbon cables that attach the screen to the main PCB, but other than that, job done.

Problem i have is i don't know where to get a replacement screen from, cos i smashed mine. If you find out, let me know.

Stefan, that is something I didn't think of before I placed the order.

I needed the LCD, but I thought I only had to replace the screen. I thought “the screen” was one unit.

I didn’t read the mails I got from http://pdascreens.co.uk properly. They clearly said that they sell touch panels and nothing else.

Now I have 2 working touch panels and a broken LCD screen.

I bought my XDA on EBay, that is why I had to repair the thing myself. I am now thinking about selling it as “with broken screen” if anyone is interested…

I’ll never purchase anything this expensive on EBay again. Had I bought it from a store would this be the store’s problem, not mine.

:oops:
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] Stefan:
that sucks

Damn, that sucks.

My lcd brooke when I fell and fell on my xda :(

I was very glad to read that they sold screens for 55 euro, to bad.

I also read that someone sent his xda to o2 for repair, and he had to pay 70 english pounds for a new screen and a new outer case.

Now I have sent mine for repair and got a letter from o2,

the costs wil be 289 euro. Woooooooooooow,

that was not what I was thinking about.

But I need the little thing and buing a new one is 599 euro so thats more than twice the repairing price.

I don't know what you paid for yours, but mayby O2 wants to repair yours to.

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] Montanna:
Before you give up try contacting PDA screens international on www.palmscreens.com, and ask them VIA EMAIL if they know where you can get a 'LCM' for the XDA, they might be able to help you with advice on how to get your hands on the actual screens (LCM's) but you will have to be very specific as to whether is the its the complete screen or the touchscreen thats broken!!! in my case it was the touchscreen :( DON'T KNOW IF THEY REALLY CAN HELP BUT ITS A START AND IF THEY DON'T, WITH ENOUGH PEOPLE CONTACTING THEM ABOUT THE SAME THING......YA NEVER KNOW!!!!!

Removing the touch screen from the rest of the screen

I just succeeded in transplanting a touch screen from one xda to another. I almost gave up because it seemed the touch screen is glued to the rest of the screen. Now that does seem to be true but the glue isn't that strong :-)) Here's how I did it:

- Remove the screen module from the device

- On the top there's a yellow sticker, remove it

- Get a knife between any of the screen holders (where the four screws go) and pry the two pieces apart. You'll notice some strange sounds, this is just the glue letting go.

- You may have to use a knife to push the latches on three sides (all exept the side where the cables are) down.

- Only the bottom plate comes off and not the touch screen glass as I expected.

Good luck!

I'll have my digital camera back in a couple of weeks, if anyone is interested I can make some pictures of the process.

Re: Removing the touch screen from the rest of the screen

I would be interested in seeing the procedure on pictures. I bought my xda a few months ago, but noone advised me to buy screenprotectors. So using the 'Letter Recognizer scratched the screen after some time.

As I was reading this forum, I read that a replacement touchscreen would only cost about 55€. And that it is possible to replace all by yourself. That sounds great!

I just wanted to check one more thing: am I right there are two screens: one called lcd-screen and one called the touchscreen? And the one I scratched with the stylus, would be the touchscreen.

I have no technical background, so I can imagine that my questions probably sound very amateuristic to most of you technical specialists. :wink:

FYI-

If your XDA is from T-Mobil, they have a replacement policy that if the PDA dies from non-abuse, they replace it free, your abuse they replace it for $70. I just did this (broke my LCD). Got a replacement, paid $15 to get it overnight. You must return the old unit (get prepaid postage and reusable box) within 7 days. Worked great for me....$70 is much cheaper than a new LCD.
