Seriously??, Look at the date on that post my friend, over 2 years ago.
[HTC Rezound] kc6wke:
I am not sure, I just downloaded and copied from cache folder.

I ran the previous ota in recovery and didnt loose anything but it was only 7-8 mb.

Just got home so I am gonna try.

EDIT

It gave me errors flashing on ICS_Tranquility_Rez_Rls2.

Gonna nand back to stock and try again
[HTC Rezound] Flyhalf205:
That's a large firmware.zip than I'm use to seeing.

Here is the radio.img that was in it. http://d-h.st/SMj You can flash in HBOOT just rename it.

Looks like version 2.23.10.0123r/2.23.10.0124r and HBOOT 2.28.000.
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
Downloading thank you
[HTC Rezound] bunchies:
Worked perfect
[HTC Rezound] IrvChynaman:
do you guys know if the firmware.zip patches s-off to s-on? not trying to risk it.
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
hboot 2.28 if you like to update. i had to do use the new radios. lost fastboot commands.
[HTC Rezound] bunchies:
Any benefit from updating hboot?
[HTC Rezound] RebelShadow:
Should this update both radios? On mine it only updated 1. Did I do something wrong?
[HTC Rezound] IrvChynaman:
Yeah it should. I would just extract the full firmware.zip rename that to PH98IMG.zip and flash. There are a few other things in that firmware zip that should probably be flashed. Note if you do this, I would recommend you make a backup of your rom and be prepared to reflash recovery. I overlooked the fact that there's a boot.img and a recovery.img and got caught in a bootloop.
[HTC Rezound] bunchies:
Hmmmm well I got the same issue but I didn't notice it till now. But your saying that we should flash the firmware.zip?

Should I take anything out of the zip to avoid boot looping?

Have you actually flashed zip successfully?
[HTC Rezound] RebelShadow:
+1 on nandroid! found that out the hard way. Just renamed the firmware.zip and flashed, then reflash recovery, restored last backup and all is good now.
[HTC Rezound] Flyhalf205:
Two radio files. I just included one perhaps.
[HTC Rezound] gr8nole:
Here's the new firmware without the boot.img and recovery.img. Since the zip was edited, you probably need to be S-off for it to work. Both radios update. It is the full firmware part of the OTA without boot and recovery.

New Global Firmware
[HTC Rezound] smithk86:
Any way to apply this update from Global leak / s-on without a full RUU?

Sent from my HTC Rezound running cm10.1
[HTC Rezound] Flyhalf205:
Yes! Will upload a new file that you can. But you will have to re-flash your custom recovery.img and boot.img.

---------- Post added at 08:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:03 AM ----------

FOR S-ON PEOPLE! Make sure you relock first.

Finally got it uploaded. http://d-h.st/BIj S-on and S-off users should be able to flash it in HBOOT after renaming it correctly. But you'll loose your custom boot and recovery so you'll need to reflash those.
[HTC Rezound] smithk86:
After moving firmware.zip to /sdcard/PH98IMG.zip, HBOOT analyzes the file but never prompts to run the update. The MD5 check was a match. Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] bunchies:
ok so i got it flashed and than re flashed my recovery, now im on re flashing the boot IMG part

what exactly do i do?

EDIT: nvm i got bored and figured it out
[HTC Rezound] bacon612:
To be clear, if I am s-off I can just rename this file to PH98IMG.zip and it won't replace my boot and recovery so I will retain amon ra and my exisiting ROM will boot normally?
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
Yes
[HTC Rezound] brock350:
Does anyone know if the new HBOOT will patch the the s-off exploit?

sent from my 386/33 running windows 3.1
[HTC Rezound] bunchies:
I flashed it using s-off. But I did the wire trick method so idk if that varies results if you did it different
[HTC Rezound] IrvChynaman:
It didn't patch me. You're all clear
[HTC Rezound] Dark Jedi:
Same here
[HTC Rezound] bkhorn:
After updating I now have *** TAMPERED *** and *** LOCKED *** when booting to Fastboot. I was S-Off and Rooted. What is my next step? Looks like I lost all the Apps that required Root, like Trickster and Kernel Tuner. They show up in APPS as Installed but not in the Apps folder. The phone does boot and I can get into Recovery.
[HTC Rezound] bunchies:
Looks like you got a locked bootloader so you can just unlock that again, and to fix root just go into recovery and use the enable super user option. Dont use the secondary super user (su) if you see that option there

You should be s-off still. It would say so in bootloader
[HTC Rezound] manbat:
My Rezound has DL the update several times now..keep getting anOTAPkg.zip that is only 207.08MB? Anyone else had this happen?

_________

Edit: Finally got a DL that finished properly....now my battery is too low...lol. Will have to wait until I get home.
[HTC Rezound] tholmes8291:
Worked perfectly! Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] smithk86:
*FACEPALM* It dawned on me tonight that just like with an RUU, this will not flash if you are s-on and unlocked. Backup the data partition then fastboot oem lock in HBOOT. You can now apply the update. Once it is done, you can re-unlock (make sure you have your unlock code!) and re-flash your recovery and boot using fastboot. After that, use recovery to restore data.

My Rezound is now updated!
[HTC Rezound] bkhorn:
Well now I am at TAMPERED and UNLOCKED. I had to install a recovery then flash a rom.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Worked like a charm. Thanks!

Dumped down the innertubes from my Asus Transformer TF300T
[HTC Rezound] manbat:
Re-named OTAPkg.zip to Update.zip?
[HTC Rezound] bunchies:
Try renaming the zip to PH98IMG than go back into bootloader

Edit: Wait that might not work
[HTC Rezound] manbat:
Update.zip has worked for me in the past....it didn't factory reset that way. All apps, etc remained intact.
[HTC Rezound] manbat:
Do you have the3.14.605.12 to 3.14.605.13 OTAPkg.zip? The Rezound I have now was a replacement. Was already on ".13". I have everything else you mentioned.
[HTC Rezound] rtpbiker:
Yes, if someone has the 3.14.605.12 to 3.14.605.13 OTAPkg.zip they'd like to post I'd appreciate it. My Rezound is stuck on 3.14.605.12 and the OTA to 3.14.605.13 fails for me.

[HTC Rezound] un1ocked:
don't use the otapkg from androidpolice, it will upgrade to 4.03.605.1 version, 100mb size
[HTC Rezound] brenuga:
Thanks for the reminder of why firmware.zip wasn't working for us S-On folks. Here are my steps for flashing new firmware while s-on, from the previous "global" release.

-fastboot boot amon. make a backup

-adb reboot bootloader

-fastboot erase cache

-fastboot oem lock

-fastboot oem rebootRUU

-fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

(it will fail for with pre-update flush again immediately error). So do it again -->

-fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

(it will finish)

when its done:

-fastboot reboot-bootloader

-fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin

-pull the battery and replace. Hold down volume down button plus power button to boot into hboot, then fastboot mode.

-fastboot boot amon ra

-restore full backup

-reboot
[HTC Rezound] Demonhawk1313:
Are just the radio files available? I see there's a file with boot and recovery removed, but do I need the other stuff? Currently S-Off running Infection 2.4. Just looking for better reception. Thanks
[HTC Rezound] un1ocked:
nice, why don't you try to s-off first

will be easy downgrading/upgrading
[HTC Rezound] bunchies:
You can use the one withought boot and recovery to get the latest radios

But you could also flash the one with boot and recovery if you wanted to. You just have flash back your recovery and boot.Img from your ROM ZIP and your kernel if you use one
[HTC Rezound] brenuga:
You can do fastboot reboot-bootloader. It's just a different syntax than adb.

Anyhoo, problem I have now is I went to restore my nand, and I'm getting this error message in amon ra:

Formatting CACHE:...

E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p36

(File exists)

Error mounting /cache/!

Also, at some point in the nand restore, it reboots the device. :( I can use hboot, recovery.

Trying to figure out what to do. Don't really want to run RUU tonight but if I have to...gonna try Clear Storage in hboot.

EDIT: Returned to stock recovery for the time being to see if that will help me clear that cache bug.

EDIT2: Re-flashing stock recovery and using the Clear Storage option resolved my error. Posting in case any other S-On ppl run into it using the method I posted above for flashing new firmware.
[HTC Rezound] bigsnack:
I did one of the update files here, and it worked like a charm for me. That said I think I have noticed that wifi speed is a tad better, as is 4G, but all of those could be a placebo effect, or maybe it's because I did wipe cache and fix permission.
[HTC Rezound] brenuga:
What should the baseband version read in about phone?

BC hboot said the 4.0.xx.14 thing but baseband is still showing 2.23.10.0123r ...

I just flashed the firmware zip but thought that included radios?

Edit: sorry, re-read earlier in the thread. That's the correct version of radios.
[HTC Rezound] bunchies:
How long does it usually take to get kernel source?
[HTC Rezound] abby_nitewolf:
May i please have the md5 for this?

And can i flash this on top of 4.03.605.2? or do i have to flash 3.14.605.12 first and flash it on top of that? Sorry if the answer is already posted somewhere. I been reading this thread over and over and having a bit of trouble getting this to work.
[HTC Rezound] gr8nole:
Too lazy to type out the md5. See pic. It works fine over 605.2.
[HTC Rezound] manbat:
I'm giving up and waiting for a RUU...lol. I reflashed ".12", S-on'ed' tried to take OTA 13....it kept failing. Tried to flash posted ".13" zip....kept failing. I re-unlocked, rooted, S-offed and flashed the Global leak and the new firmware.
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
with s-off all you need is the firmware update no need for the boot.img and system.img
[HTC Rezound] HowardZ:
I did it the old fashioned, lengthier way:

1. Made a Nandroid backup of CM10.1

2. Ran Ruu 3.14.605.12 two times

3. Restored my stock rooted ics nandroid backup via booting, not flashing, custom recovery. I made this backup in august 2012 prior to installing the leaked global ics.

4. Updated apps to latest version

5. Took the two OTA updates, kept root via voodoo

6. Flashed custom recovery

7. Made nandroid backup of official global ics.

8. Ran cleanwipe script

9. Restored my CM10.1 nandroid backup

This certainly takes longer, but I some how felt safer, and I can nandroid back to stock rooted global ics in the future if I want to.

Btw, the ruu erased my internal SD which contained the latest TWRP CM10.1 nandroid backup. But I had a two week old CM10.1 nandroid backup made by Amon Ra on the SD card.

Strange that TWRP makes backups on the internal SD, and Amon RA on the SD card.
[HTC Rezound] smithk86:
TWRP allows you to select either sdcard but it does default to internal.

[HTC Rezound] king.james:
I don't know what I am doing wrong. I dl the copy of the radios only without the recovery and boot. Changed the name to just the zip and attempted to add via bootloader and nothing updates. What am I missing?

**I am s-off**
[HTC Rezound] smithk86:
Are you s-on and still unlocked?

Sent from my HTC Rezound running cm10.1
[HTC Rezound] king.james:
Never mind I got it...
[HTC Rezound] Damasterjj:
thanks,
[HTC Rezound] mikeyk101:
Thank you for this. I was on the global leak rooted with S-Off and Amon Ra recovery. I used this zip, renamed it to ph98img.zip and ran it in hboot and it seems to have worked. I did notice that my hboot is now 2.28.0000 and says locked. But with the s-off, I'm not concerned about it. At least it doesn't say tampered. And Amon Ra is still there. It also seems to be still rooted along with the updated radios.

However I am experiencing a weird glitch. Every time I restart, wi-fi is turning back on automatically. I have to go into settings and turn the wi-fi off. It then will turn on by itself one more time but on the second time turning it off, it seems to stay off. It didn't do this prior to doing the official update. Any ideas on why this is happening? BTW, I did go into Amon Ra after doing the update and letting it fully boot. In Amon Ra, I went in to the Wipe menu and wiped cache 3 time, dalvik cache 3 times, and battery stats 3 times. Did I miss anything?
[HTC Rezound] brenuga:
If it says locked, I'm not sure you are rooted? Or at very least, you won't be able to flash a new rom til you unlock again...generally after updating it's good to wipe phone completely and restore rom or reinstall rom... You did make a backup right?
[HTC Rezound] Damasterjj:
I restarted multiple times... wifi never came on. maybe you need to check wifi advance settings
[HTC Rezound] thatsricci:
Certainly you can be LOCKED and rooted if you are s-off!
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
Lock and unlock mean nothing more than fastboot commands once you're s-off
[HTC Rezound] :
Do we need to update the hboot to 2.28 to make use of these new radios?
[HTC Rezound] redduc900:
The New Global Firmware link that gr8nole posted on page #4 includes the newest 2.28 HBoot along w/ the radios. HBoot will flash first, then the phone will reboot back to Fastboot where the radios will flash next.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
So you did this on a custom ROM and custom recovery? I saw in a later post that you had an issue with Amon Ra that cleared up when you flashed stock recovery, was everything good when you went back to Amon Ra?

Also, I have the global RUU which I have run on my phone, can I pull the stock recovery out of there somehow so I can flash it if needed?

It goes to LOCKED after you s-off so it's how it's supposed to be. It most likely said LOCKED before you did this update.
[HTC Rezound] mikeyk101:
I am definitely still rooted and all my rooted apps still work fine. But just a quick update. I turned the Rezound completely off and then restarted again. Now it restarts without the Wi-Fi coming on. So I'm not sure why it was doing this but it seems to be working fine now.
[HTC Rezound] HowardZ:
My understanding is s-off with stock hboot, one still needs to be unlocked to flash custom recovery, kernels, and ROMs. I might be wrong, but this is my understanding.

Remember that the unlock process does a factory reset and I think it also wiped internal SD (if I recall correctly).

The juopunut hboot just lies by displaying LOCKED even though the phone is actually unlocked. The juopunut hboot also has some additional capabilities. I do not think there is a juopunut hboot replacement for the new. hboot 2.28 yet.

For a long time I have been happy with s-off, stock hboot, unlocked, and rooted. I don't mind the hboot displaying UNLOCKED, since I have no warranty. I have been using CM10.1 and HIRO kernel the past few months, and flashing new versions every few days.
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
Nope. Not true at all. You can't use extended hboot commands without being unlocked or an engineering hboot, but you can do everything else. Flash a recovery through a PH98IMG file and you'll be able to do everything from it.
[HTC Rezound] HowardZ:
Well, it was over one year ago, and difficult to remember, I was s-off, stock hboot, stock recovery, and something I used often would not work unless I unlocked. Maybe it was fastboot commands from a pc.

For a long time I was completely stock except s-off and rooted, as I wanted to be ready for any Verizon OTA updates. I would fastboot boot (not flash) amon ra from a pc whenever I wanted to make a nandroid backup.

Anyway, I needed my stock hboot to be unlocked, but I forgot why.

Eventually I gave up the idea that Verizon would ever send us another OTA update. Haha, after 8 months we get this update! Almost unbelievable.

Regards

Howard
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
You can't do certain fastboot commands if you aren't unlocked, but the vast majority won't need them when S-OFF. You can install a recovery using a PH98IMG.zip, and you can flash kernels from recovery when you're S-OFF. If you do need the extra fastboot commands, it's better to install an engineering hboot rather than unlock...that way you can preserve your lock status.
[HTC Rezound] torr310:
Mine is unlocked and S-Off. After the update, it became to "Locked" and "Tampered", but the root and Recovery still remain and the phone functions like before. I just need to unlock again using hasoon's all in one kit, but don't know how to get rid of the "Tampered" thing.
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
Tampered doesn't matter. That just means you have a custom recovery installed. If you're s-off there's no real reason to unlock. Just flash a recovery via PH98IMG.zip file if needed and then flash your ROM.

EDIT: To clarify, the only reason you need to unlock or install and engineering hboot when s-off is to get extended fastboot commands. If you aren't a kernel developer, this is almost certainly entirely unnecessary.
[HTC Rezound] manbat:
Has anyone that is 100% stock "except for being S-off" been able to accept and install the OTAs?
[HTC Rezound] Damasterjj:
Mine stayed locked and s-off with recovery and root intact. check pages 8 I took a picture
[HTC Rezound] HowardZ:
Yes, I ruu'd twice the stock ics to be completely stock.

then restored my old ics nandroid. I did this by fastboot boot (not fastboot flash) the amon ra recovery. This way the stock recovery remains installed.

then update all my play store apps.

First came a small OTA update, and then the larger global phone update.

Then I flashed amon ra, made a nandroid backup, and proceeded to reinstall cyanogenmod 10.1 and HIRO kernel. Then I restored a nandroid backup of my cyanogenmod 10.1 system to avoid setting it up all over again.

So to summarize, I was completely stock, s-off, rooted, and had voodoo protecting the root su. After each of the two updates I ran voodoo to make restore root and make sure root was still protected.

After the updates I still had s-off and root. I never relocked the hboot, and after the updates the hboot remains unlocked. Voodoo isn't very important because it is so simple for us to reroot the phone.

Of course it is a big time saver to just install the hboot and radios. But, I just felt this was the safest way, plus I want to have a nandroid of stock rooted global ics as I return to stock every time I want to play movies via MHL to my hdtv. Cyanogenmod can not do MHL to hdtv.

Regards

Howard
[HTC Rezound] manbat:
Thanks, I guess I will flash back to stock ICS "12" again and give it a try. The Rezound is my secondary phone now so I guess I'll sit on stock untill the updates work. I also want a backup of the stock "offical global"also. Where is a leaked RUU when you need it....lol
[HTC Rezound] HowardZ:
I see it here

http://androidfiles.org/ruu/?developer=Vigor

I got my copy long ago from android police. If you have difficulty with getting it, send me a message and I'll try to get you a copy of mine.
[HTC Rezound] brenuga:
Yes, I just used stock recovery to do its Clear Storage function, that took care of the 'can't mount /cache' error I was getting. Later I flashed amon ra back on the phone and no more errors.

And yes, custom ROM. I haven't been on stock in a long time thanks to Neo.
[HTC Rezound] manbat:
Stock Recovery couldn't see the OTAPkg on 64GB SD Card..

UPDATE: Finally got OTAPkg to flash in stock Recovery.....For some reason stock recovery could not see the package on my 64Gb SD Card. Loaded the update packages on a 4GB Card.......Booted to Recovery, pressed Up Volume and Power untill menu came up, selected the update file and Flashed first time....:)
[HTC Rezound] sanders539:
Have you found any other goodies in the update other than radios and hboot?
[HTC Rezound] lepa71:
Where do I find a stock recovery? I do have Full RUUs from androidpolice.

What does "clear storage" do? Do I need to backup my internal and SD card files?

Thanks
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
thats all what i found so far. My phone decided that it was time to end its life and now it wont turn on. ive been having problems with it for the last month or so with it rebooting and doing a factory reset out of nowhere. this happened before the OTA but now that insurance doesnt have anymore i had to settle for an in4g :(
[HTC Rezound] thatsricci:
I just flashed the global firmware only image as I am s-off and on a jb4.2 rom (infection) and all seems fine after flashing. Was previously on ics nonglobal radios.

Would this ZIP be any benefit to someone like me who's Stock Rooted, Unlocked, S-off, CWM recovery?

I don't care if my phone gets the update or not, I just want to stop getting the notifications and stop finding my phone booted into recovery at odd hours of the night.

Either way... thanks!
[HTC Rezound] CUBENSIS:
In the old global leak I had problems connecting to my home wifi (but not other wifi) . It would connect but sometimes it would take dozens of attempts. That problem seems to be eliminated for me. I have two very specific spots in my house where I have very borderline wifi signal. That hasn't changed, so I doubt that anything is different in terms of wifi receptivity.

Not sure about 3g/4g. I wouldn't notice.
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
im liking the inc 4g so far. it showed up with s-off which was weird. unlocked the bootloader because it doesn't have an engineering hboot and bam im on 10.1 again :D

---------- Post added at 12:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:43 PM ----------

no zip with return your device to s-on you would have to do it with the write command. as for locked, you can htc dev unlock it to gain fastboot commands again but this is needed unless you plan on being a kernel dev.
[HTC Rezound] gr8nole:
It is firmware only, so you will still most likely get the OTA nag if you are stock rom. It will update your radios and hboot.
[HTC Rezound] mmoreimi:
yeah, that makes sense.... that's too bad.

no easy way to get through this, it seems.

Thanks for the quick reply, sir.
[HTC Rezound] thatsricci:
Since you are rooted...

Just go delete /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip

or rename it to be safe...

there's probably some ota apk's you can remove too do a search for "Rezound ota block" and you'll see some posts.
[HTC Rezound] mmoreimi:
I use ES File Explorer and I have root browsing enabled, but it's not allowing me to rename or delete that file.

I've tried using FOTAKILL.apk before, but with no success.

EDIT/UPDATE: I tried Astro as well and got similar outcomes. It won't write changes to that directory it seems.
[HTC Rezound] gr8nole:
You have to mount it read/write first. It should be an option in your file manager (it is in Root Explorer).
[HTC Rezound] mmoreimi:
nice! good call... I'm not used to the new ES File Explorer since the big GUI update. Found the setting you were referring to.

I updated the file from otacerts.zip ---> otacerts.bak

I hope it's that easy.

Thanks for hanging around to help!

EDIT Just noticed it's two people - thatsricci and gr8nole. Thank you both.
[HTC Rezound] thatsricci:
I certainly can't figure out how to mount root or /system as RW in the new ES file explorer so I used Root Explorer as well for my root file system changes... Let me know if you figure it out. I can't find the setting anywhere in es file explorer!

EDIT:: AHH found it under settings-> Tools -> "Root Explorer", pick it and then hit 'mount r/w' and hit the radio button next to /system to 'RW' from 'RO'.
