[HTC Rezound] ebrammer252:
Same here.

Same software specs as OP, everything on my phone is stock except it's rooted, keeps failing. Unlocked from HTC DEV, S-ON. Any advice?
[HTC Rezound] brenuga:
If you don't want the update, just download titanium backup, find the apps called OTAUpdater and 'freeze' the apps to keep them from running. There's two ota apps, one from HTC and one from vzw

Holo locker is an alternative lock screen widget. Just install it and set lock screen security method to 'none'.
[HTC Rezound] digitalmofo:
Is there another way to freeze them? I'm also not finding any app in the free version of Titanium that has OTAUpdater anywhere in the name. You can't freeze from the free version, though, and the Pro version is $6.58 in the store.
[HTC Rezound] brenuga:
Yes, go to settings, manage apps. You still have to find app named otaupdater. In manage apps, you can 'disable' apps to keep them from running. Its the same thing as freezing.
[HTC Rezound] digitalmofo:
Actually, I apologize for not just buying pro. For what these people do for us, $6.58 isn't too much too ask. I went ahead and bought it. I still am not seeing the otaupdater at all, though. :(

I did find MCC_OTA but that's the only thing at all that had OTA in the name at all. Think that could be it?
[HTC Rezound] brenuga:
Yes, that's the one. Any other apps that say update or report are good to freeze, too. Any HTC or vzw apps you don't use. Vzw SSO you need if you use visual voicemail or my Verizon app.

And yes , you will find tibu pro is well worth the money. :)
[HTC Rezound] digitalmofo:
Actually, I had that frozen earlier and it tried to update again. Is it an android file that I should be looking for? Nothing else says ota or update or report. Frustrating. I need to just flash stock, then update, then re-root, but ain't nobody got time for that, lol.
[HTC Rezound] RooterNoob83:
this seems to be working!!!!

i bought titanium backup pro, then i froze these 3 apps

HTC COTA Client

MCC_OTA

VZW Package Installer

my rezound hasn't tried to update/install since!!!

Thanks for this, helped me too. though I would like to be able to have the update actually done to my phone.
[HTC Rezound] brenuga:
You can follow these instructions to update just the firmware on your phone, then you will need to flash new stock sense ROM, which can be found in rezound development forum.

Titanium Backup hasn't worked

Brenuga, freezing the OTA apps in Titanium Backup hasn't worked. I awoke to the ugly system recovery screen.

Since i've got to deal with learning all the tech jargon (s-on, s-off, ruu, rom, etc.) can you tell me a place i can go to learn what all these things mean? i don't know if i'm s-on or off, or even what it means. it will be easier for me to follow the instructions if i know what the instructions are talking about.

i need idot-proof baby-step instructions for this. just tell me where to go to find them!
[HTC Rezound] brenuga:
These are the guides I used to learn. Don't go s-off until you are sure you understand all the ins and outs. I'm still s-on myself.

[HTC Rezound] jrredho:
So, brenuga, dumb question: Do we need to flash the stock (signed) recovery before updating the firmware?

The reason I ask is that this may be a possible source of issues some folks seem to be having when they follow your procedure.

Thanks!

john
[HTC Rezound] brenuga:
No, I only flashed the stock recovery after updating firmware because I was getting errors in my custom recovery after updating the firmware. So I flashed stock recovery, then did Clear Storage in the stock hboot screen, then re-flashed amon ra to my phone.

The only other time you would need stock recovery in relation to an update is if you planned to take the OTA through the normal means, ie by doing software update on the stock rom.

The method I listed will wipe out whatever boot.img is currently on your phone, so after updating firmware you will need to re-flash a boot.img from the ROM that's on your phone, or clean wipe and flash a new ROM.
[HTC Rezound] jrredho:
Yes, that is exactly the point of my question: Do you think you'd have had to do that if you'd just flashed the stock recovery first?
[HTC Rezound] brenuga:
Maybe not, I'm not sure. In any case, if after updating firmware you start seeing messages in stock recovery or custom recovery, that say can't read /cache or something like that, the Clear Storage option in stock recovery is what fixed it for me. I think it has something to do with the fastboot

Just FYI, after flashing stock recovery, you can boot into it from hboot screen. You will see a red exclamation mark and triangle. Nothing is wrong, it's just a caution screen. Press and hold Power + Volume Up and you will be taken to the recovery menu.
[HTC Rezound] ryryrocco:
I am having trouble loading any roms after updating.

Keep getting main version is older errors when I try to load boot image in the boot loader. Says update failed....help
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Are you saying the ROM flashes fine and just the boot.img flash gives you that message?

If so, this could help (I take it you are s-on based on your problem):

"This will create a PH98IMG.zip personalized to the MainVer you have and the OS you want to flash to."
[HTC Rezound] ryryrocco:
Finally got ecliptic rez to load after about 6 hours of trying to get it to load. Don't know what I did to get it to run in the end. I did load stock recovery and factory reset through that. Then reloaded a custom recovery.
[HTC Rezound] digitalmofo:
Thanks a ton, this did the trick. Now, I wanna get the update, but the guide to do so is just too in-depth for me right now. I am not sure if I am s-on or off and don't know how to tell and I'm going to have to get a lot more educated to actually get this updated.
[HTC Rezound] jrredho:
A quick follow up: I followed brenuga's process exactly with the exception that I started by flashing the stock, signed recovery from the global leak. I had none of the complications that he encountered after flashing the firmware.

I immediately followed that by installing the stock, rooted global update ROM I found in the original android development forum. By far the easiest update I've ever done on my rezound.

Thanks, brenuga!

John
[HTC Rezound] brenuga:
Trust me, you would know if you were s-off because part of the process to get there involves putting a grounded wire into your phone :eek:

People will tell you different things about the ease/benefits of being s-off, but Chad (who is / was the premier developer for our phone) bricked 3 rezounds while s-off and now recommends staying s-on, like the phone ships. You can be rooted and s-on and still do a ton of stuff with your phone.

The only easier ways of getting the update are 1) running a security-signed update executable called a RUU that comes from HTC and isn't currently available for the latest update

2) Get your phone into a condition where it can install the over-the-air update using the about phone > software update. Menu on your phone.

Generally, you can get the new update through official channels, if you have a version of the stock ROM from HTC on your phone (preferably not a "leak" version) PLUS you have the stock recovery on your phone (again, you would know if you changed it unless someone else rooted your phone for you). The last condition you need to meet to be able to get OTA update is that you have not used utilities like Titanium Backup to delete or freeze any important Verizon or HTC apps that come with your phone. (Disabling Let's Golf and the like are OK, disabling stuff that has technical-sounding filenames and doesn't show up in your app drawer is probably not OK)

Now, assuming you have met the above conditions (or put your phone back the way it was), then you should be prompted by Verizon to install the new update.

Some people report being on older versions of the stock ROM and firmware, getting the prompt to update, clicking OK and at some point, they get an error message. If that is the case, you would need to back up your apps and data on your phone storage, find the latest official RUU from shipped-roms.com (the last ruu software version starts with 4 and ends with .13), run it on your PC, and let it take you to the next to latest software version. THEN, you should be able to do software update again and receive the OTA without error.

Do us a favor, go into System Settings, About Phone, and take a screenshot of what it says next to software version and baseband version and post it here (or write it down and type into a post). Then we can better understand how you should go about updating.

I do get an error after it downloads and tries to install. It goes back to the screen where I load roms/zip files and says there is an error and it cannot install. I have managed to get it to stop trying with Titanium, freezing some stuff. I haven't deleted any stuff with it, just frozen.

I rooted my phone, way back there was a one-touch root and I used it, but then about 4 months ago or so there was an update that unrooted the Rezound. I found this out when I was out of town and my tether didn't work anymore, so not having anything but my phone, I scoured until I found the (I think this is what it's called) Amon Ra recovery tool and unlocked my bootloader. I just did that and rooted, I didn't change roms. I am fine with the stock phone, I just wanted tether to work. Now, sense has started force closing in the last 2 weeks or so sometimes and it's sometimes being slow in general. I really feel like I need this update.

My last phone was a Droid X, and I rooted and romed the crap out of it, so I am fairly competent, I just didn't keep much record of how I got this Rezound rooted, because I did it on the fly and it seemed a lot more complicated.

Use JB as a base, Xperia Z was released on 4.1

Use Xperia Z swipe up or down lock screen, I will upload a link later.

Use Sony Album, Walkman, Movies and put in some others like Sony Select, PS3 Dual shock App, Music Unlimited, etc.

Put in all the Z wallpapers, will post link.

Xperia Keyboard.

Bravia Engine 2.

Xloud and Other Sony sound tweaks like Clear Audio+

And Xperia Style Settings.

My two cents, over and out ;)

Hi guys, idk if you already know about this new theme engine, I just want to share it. Basically is a theme engine like CM but for stock roms, themes (even CM ones) can be ported to each device, exists some CM themes already ported, I've tested some of them but they just theme status bar in our galaxy s advance, when I asked why this happen, they answered me this:

So if we want CM or whatever themes in our device, they must be ported.

This is the original post:

I posted this here because probably this could be interesting for our themers, and maybe they can port themes for our device.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Themes and Apps] Koulis2000:
Good one! But I never learned how to make a CM Theme. And also, if the themes must be ported to each device separately, why use this? It has no difference than the VillainROM Theme Engine that I'm currently working on. The only disadvantage with the VRT is that it's not easy to make uninstallers. Yet, it's possibe. And that I can't use custom resources.arsc with custom ids, dimensions, colors e.t.c.

Maybe someone can try to make an XTheme and share it here. If users like it, I see no reason to not use it. :good:

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Themes and Apps] rodaven:
The advantage I think is that you can change between themes and stock just using the app and one soft reboot. I've just tested themes ported to xperia devices that is why it just theme my status bar (I guess). And I guess porting Cm or other themes could be easier than make a theme from cero. In the original thread there is a little guide how to do that.

i don't really expect any real help, but i'll try:

i like to read ebooks in my bed at night (and most obviously it's dark then ;), so those two blinking leds (green for phone and blue for bluetooth) are really bright and hurt my eyes.

is there any patch, hack to make them turn of temporarily ?? i know i could turn off phone and bluetooth - but that's no acceptable because i have to be reachable by phone.

thanks

Damn this thread is hilarious, good job people :lol:

Okay, there isn't a way to turn off the bluetooth blue LED without turning off Bluetooth, however there is a way to turn off the green LED without turning off the radio. First make a full backup of your XDA II, then open up your favorite registry editor and search for "LEDMgr"

This should be in a key folder called Drivers in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, but I don't know the exact location right now because I do not have my i-mate.

Okay, inside this LEDMgr keyfolder is a string called "Dll"

Rename that to "xDll" then do a soft reset.

That should take out the green LED, leaving the phone radio on.

You can now read ebooks in total darkness and at work you can send an SMS to the person across the chairman telling a joke about how his toupe is about to fall off.
