[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
Just lost most of my apps and system data. My phone ran out of battery I charged it and turned on my phone it got stuck on the Android logo and bricked. I'm trying to restore a backup all the way from february. I'm really mad right now that my phone just wouldn't boot up like it always has. It could be because I installed some modules from Exposed Frameworks but I doubt it because I had to restart my phone last night and it worked fine. I hope your coming up with a rom update soon because this was a great rom. I wont revert to CM 11 because it is having issues i read in forums here on XDA.

Ok looks like the backup restored successfully. But I want to know why it froze up on the android logo!!!??
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
I would bet the rom had nothing to do with it.. not quite sure what you're expecting out of an update.
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
Well Matt i'm not sure what happend. Although now i'm doing a fresh start again restoring my apps. I have to ship my phone out to HTC repair anyhow after im done to get the charging port fixed and rear camera sensor is gone bad. I'm going to leave this rom on there and clear my data after i finish redoing it again and backup the rom. It's going to be a very long night. I would hope the update resolves random reboots? The rom itself works nearly flawless and really i have no idea what took place but i'm going to try to test it out tonight before i ship it. For awhile the phone was working solid, it might be the modules i downloaded from xposed frameworks. I'm restoring apps and data from titanium backup currently.
[HTC Rezound] puhleez:
I had something similar happen when I used xposed. Xposed is a cool idea but causes so much trouble (at least for me) that I removed it. Recommend the same to you.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Xposed doesn't cause me any issues with just gravitybox installed. I have run into a module or two that would cause the phone not to boot but I just removed them and it was fine.

I do get a reboot here and there but it's very infrequent.
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
and also

[MENTION=3436034]puhleez[/MENTION] .... I had no issues with gravity box installed it must have been other modules recently.
[HTC Rezound] el Filou:
By any chance are you using no fsync or dynamic fsync?

I once had my phone reboot on me only to find afterwards that I had lost all my email data. In Accounts Settings it still showed all the accounts but when I tried to access any data it asked me to create an account, as if there weren't any.

And that was on Sense.
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
I'm really not sure what tyoe of sync the phone is using. Right now its with HTC waiting to get approval by me for repair costs. The charging port is broke and rear camera sensor went bad. They want $230, i've already put $90 into it to get S-Off and originally unbricked and flashed. I'm not sure if I should go thru with it or not? It seems a cheaper alternative to getting a problematic referbished used phone or buying brand new for retail.
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Its your money, but for what its worth you could buy 2 or 3 used LTE phones like the Rezound or Galaxy Nexus on swappa for that kind of money, or an excellent condition GS3, Moto RAZR Maxx, or an HTC DNA... Putting $230 into a Rezound is probably in the category of foolish.

Of course, you could always just pony up for a new line, get a G2, One, S4 or whatever then cancel and pay the ETF, of $175-$350 and have a new device for under $400.

But like I said, its your call and your money.
[HTC Rezound] tburns:
It was an xposed module that messed your ROM up. Had that happen many of times on my phone and tablet. Don't spend that money on getting the phone fixed it's not worth the resale value.

If I had a spare USB port is send you one. All I have left is a extra LCD for my rez..
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
Also [MENTION=2001582]acejavelin[/MENTION]

Well it's too late I went ahead and had it charged to my credit card and asked for explanation. It's under a 90 day warranty all labor and parts. Besides i really do like the phone for the most part. I will still need a backup phone once i upgrade to a new device. The cost It still equals out less than a brand new phone at full retail price. I can not just quit my contract with Verizon. See my contract ends in May and I wont sign a new one, however I have to keep my unlimited data plan. Therefore opening a new line and canceling my contract with Verizon will cost me even more in the long run. I use a ton of data since i do not have my own internet service provider at home. For these phones one will never get resale value for them. I sold off my problematic Motorola Droid X back in late 2011 for $60. I think I paid $100. Besides the phones on todays market i'm torn between the S4, S5 and G2. The G3 will be coming out in a few months and is said to have sd card and removable battery again unlike the G2. But the plan is still to upgrade next year. Financially speaking I don't really have the funds to outright purchase a $600-$800 device that doesn't have all the specs I'm looking for. I was going to get a refurbished Rezound for $99 but i'm told and read too many things that state they are problematic. Going this route i know it's a new phone with brand new parts. I will not sell this phone unlike my first droid. This is still my backup device once i upgrade at full retail for a new one.

This all may seem rather foolish yes but that can be said to purchase a phone that has no ext sd card and lack of battery removement. I need the extra space on sd for occasional photos and video ability. The only phones current to offer this is Samsung's Galaxy line.

And I did consider buying a Rezound thats S-Off, rooted flashed on Swappa. However they only allow payment method using Paypal I've read too many horror stories and that it's best advice not to link a bank account to them. Back in 2008 i had my account frozen and had bought a bad phone off Ebay. I could have gotten a Rez for $80 though the ad didn't show clearly photos of the device or what rom it was supposedly flashed to. So there's the trust factor. If Swappa allowed direct payment method by credit debt card and check then great! But unfortunately they don't.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
I've had my Paypal account linked to my account for years, use it for all ebay purchases, never really had a problem... just my 2 cents.
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
Well even so if I were to create a new paypal account and buy a rezound I dont think i can get a refund. I had the payment processed earlier today and the HTC repair tracking says it's in repair. I found a rezound on there for $125 with lots of accessories. However it's S-On. So I would have to have it shipped back out pay again to have it S-Off and Unlocked since on mac. Matt is that our rezound by chance?

---------- Post added at 06:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:08 AM ----------

Ok never mind your S-Off
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
No, not selling mine, I'll probably hold on to it as a spare once I get a new phone. I'm probably going to pick up a used G2 or Dev Moto X once I get my taxes back.

[MENTION=4073432]Droid9684[/MENTION]

OK... Sorry I mentioned it, you asked for advice and I gave you mine... again, it's your money.
[HTC Rezound] AtomicFizzle:
No way I would ever pay for a rezound at this point. Maybe $20 ? you are crazy man. You could use that money to get a crappy old PC to throw Linux mint or something on and stop messing around sending devices out to unlock.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Well, it's looking very much like this will be the last ROM I ever run on my Rezound. Just flashed this last night and everything pretty much works out of the box.

And next Tuesday I plan on being on the M8. If that's the case, there will be one more Rezound for sale on ebay.....
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
This has been my go to since it was released, works pretty flawless for me. I added Xposed with the GravityBox module for rom customizations.
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
I'm totoally against Moto products but the LG G2 seems pretty good from what i've read and been told. Totally worth the expense.

---------- Post added at 07:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:53 PM ----------

Yeah this rom is pretty solid compared t other ones i've used such as CM 11. Just make sure you be careful when you install anything and do regular backups. I installed a couple new modules in exposed frameworks and system wouldnt boot proper. Had to redo it before i sent it out. Gravity box works tho flawlessly. :good::laugh:
[HTC Rezound] cntryby429:
[MENTION=2658396]kkozma[/MENTION], are you still planning for a new build? I'm getting the itch to try a new Rom and this one is next on my list to try.
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
I had to sent the Rezond out to have it S-Off but not unlocked. It's because i have a Mac. I had PC previously and nothing but issues. With Mac i've had far less problems. I know its crazy i paid alot for the phone but theres not many other choices i have at moment and besides it too late it seems to call off the transaction, yes could got one off swappa for cheaper. Well atleast ill have a backup phone when i upgrade providing it dont break again.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Care to share with us which Xposed modules have crashed your system? I've run the following on other ROMs (but not on this one yet....that's my next move, having just completed a nandroid): Xad, Xbatteries; Greenify; Crappalinks. I run Gravity on my Transformer and I'm inclined to run it on Evervolv instead of Xbattery because it provides several tweaks that my prior ROMs had embedded. I do a number of tweaks just to obviate the need to reach for my reading glasses every time I want to look at my phone. Glad to hear you have that working for you.
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
Well at moment i do not have the phone to test. However i can rule out Greenify, Aps Ops and Gravity Box. I had taken a screenshot of the modules i had installed previously i must have deleted it. I can't find it.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Thanks, looks like Gravity, AppOpps, Xad, Greenify, and Crappalinks all work on Evervolv.

In fact, having run it through it's paces pretty fully today, looks like just plain everything works. Even has MTP access to PC and the LED behaves close to normal on and off. Highly recommended. FWIW, I used Pacman Gapps - Modular full edition.
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
Indeed they do work great without fail. I'm going to see which modules messed up when i get phone back. I'll take a screen shot of them again and post.

Kit Kat 4.4.3 / Nexus Camera bug

Just inquiring if once KK 4.4.3 is released an update for Evervolv will be made? Since we have the Nexus stock cam built within this app does this update apply to this AOSP ROM? http://bgr.com/2014/03/05/nexus-5-bug-fix-camera-battery-life/
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
It shouldn't make any difference in our camera, we have to use the legacy camera libraries to get it to work, not the current stuff.
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
Can you elabrate what you mean by using legacy libraries? I figured someone can copy the updated apk version of the Nexus cam and impliment it into the Evervolv rom.
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Kind of... A ROM builder could probably give you more detailed info but my understanding is we have to use old camera source code to build from so it will take to the hardware, our camera hardware in the Rezound is not supported in current source code. This is the reason that the newer the ROMs get, the less our camera works properly.
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
Ok I understand. So because the hardware is dated it wouldn't communicate properly with newer versions of code. Interesting to know how this process works. Thanks very much for the explanation. :):good:
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
To add a little more detail, the hardware drivers for our camera are outdated, there was never a version released that would work with ION memory management. The current KK roms for the Rezound are hybrids because most of it runs ION but it runs the camera drivers in PMEM.
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
Hmm interesting. I can start seeing also why some phones possibly may not get offical android updates due to drivers hardware being outdated. Do I have this correct? Or is it at the manufacture and carriers discretion to release android updates?
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Pretty much any phone that's not running pure Android is at the discretion of the manufacturer and carrier. HTC stopped at ICS on this phone because they stated no Sense 4 or higher for phones not running an ImageChip.
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
Alright this is good info to reference! Thanks Matt! :)

---------- Post added at 07:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:17 AM ----------

I feel even worse now that I had sent my phone to HTC (which theres no word on about) to get repaired the cam sensor and charging port.
[HTC Rezound] kkozma:
Well, guys I have nothing new to report. There have been no changes made to Evervolv since my last build that would affect anything for the Rezound. No kernel updates on my end either. The rom is about as stable as you could really ask for and I'm afraid if I start messing with it to mess with it, I could end up screwing that up...

I will continue to monitor evervolvs review site and if I see anything that could possibly affect our device I'll crank out a new build pronto.
[HTC Rezound] kkozma:
If Evervolv updates their code, I will update the ROM for sure.
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
I've been wondering if you had abandond this rom for awhile. It's good to hear you will still support development of it and the Rezound. Furthermore I will agree this rom is most stable than other 4.4.2 based ones including CM 11. Other than mishaps sometimes with xposed modules causing conflict there's no isues in relation to this rom seperate. Thanks! :laugh::good:
[HTC Rezound] kkozma:
Nah, just got a little burned out for a bit. Spent like two whole months trying to iron everything out, and needed a bit of a break. :)
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
Understandable. Well i'm done with the rezound unfortnantley including HTC as a whole. They charged me to repair the phone and sent it back not repaired. I now have to buy a new phone soon.

Straight Talk

My Verizon contract ends next week so I ordered an AT&T sim card from straight talk (ST) so I can switch and save about $50 a month. I was wandering if I flash this rom with the gsm.zip file, will this rom work with ST? Also, will I be able to get 4G speeds on the AT&T network?
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
4G... LTE or HSPA+, No. 3G HSPA maybe if your signal is really good, most likely 2G Edge.
[HTC Rezound] scottww2622:
That sucks. Thanks for the quick reply. I know after getting used to 4G, dropping down to 3G is almost unbearable. I can't imagine how painful 2G is going to be.
[HTC Rezound] kkozma:
AT&T's 3G is almost as fast as Verizon's oversaturated 4g lte. No joke.

I pulled down 14mb/s on AT&T 3G and only managed 6mb/s on my G2 4G LTE.
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
This varies a LOT by where you are, time of day, your device, and many other factors though...

Around here Verizon 4G is KING of speed... averaging 35-40mb/s down with bursts at times in the 45-50 range. Testing between the few devices we have in the house still working, LG G2 (VZW), Nexus 4 (AT&T), Moto G GPE (AT&T), Droid Bionic (VZW), and Rezound (VZW, stealing the SIM from the Bionic for a short time). I am actually in a good place to test networks, I can see the Verizon tower from my north window, and the AT&T tower from my deck, about 1/2 mile in direct line of site from either one, since I am bored and everyone is still sleeping... I'll grab my kid's phones and run some quick tests with what I got (partially my curiosity) and post my results.
[HTC Rezound] kkozma:
I haven't seen anything above 20mb/s with Verizon since before it was turned on here in Dayton and I just happened to catch a night they turned it on for testing. RARELY above 10mb/s here. At my office in Cincinnati I've seen it as high as 30, but that's only if I'm standing outside and looking directly at the tower.

Just for S&G's. Re-ran the test on my G2. Not even joking.

3 bars 4G LTE: 3.97 down / 1.47 up. PAAAAAA-thetic.
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
That's disgustingly horrible for LTE, I would complain, although I know it wouldn't make any difference... I average 10x that around here in Bismarck, ND. :)

FYI... I hadn't done this in a while, so I ran a crap load of speed tests this morning, scared to check my data usage, we don't have unlimited.

Results... tried 2 or 3 tests using 2 different close servers with speedtest.net app

WiFi as a base (Cable modem through Asus RT-N66U router hardwired PC tests 65.5Mb/s down, 6.7Mb/s up)

1) LG G2: 47.5/6.2

2) N4: 46.5/6.3

3) Moto G: 44.1/6.0

4) Rezound: 39.4/5.5

5) Bionic: 32.2/5.0

6) Aria: 14.1/5.1

4G LTE (Verizon):

1) Rezound: 45.2/13.7

2) Bionic: 37.0/11.1

3) LG G2: 25.2/9.2 (Weird, I though it would be WAY faster, maybe a fluke, but I tried again later with same result)

3G/4G HSPA+ (AT&T)

1) Nexus 4: 12.1/3.4

2) Moto G: 9.9/3.2

3G HSPA (AT&T) - I couldn't figure out how to restrict either N4 or G to 3G/HSPA only so grabbed my old HTC Aria out of the drawer and used N4's SIM in an adapter

1) Aria: 2.7/0.9

3G CDMA eHRPD (Verizon)

1) Rezound: 0.71/0.55

2) Bionic: 0.62/0.40

3) LG G2: 0.52/0.52

2G Edge (AT&T)

1) Nexus 4: 0.14/0.11

2) Moto G: 0.13/0.10

3) Aria: 0.10/0.09

2G 1xRTT (Verizon)

1) LG G2: 0.14/0.11 (but test failed 2 of the 4 times I tried it, weird)

2) Bionic: 0.14/0.10

3) Rezound: 0.13/0.12

One interesting note, AT&T just turned up 4G/LTE here a few weeks ago... prior to that I had always gotten HSPA+21, now I am getting HSPA+42 on my Nexus 4 (still only HSPA+21 on Moto G, but I think that is all it supports), and a slightly faster speed than I used too. I have only seen a couple speed tests of AT&T's LTE service, but I think it was around 20Mb/s down on a Galaxy S4
[HTC Rezound] AtomicFizzle:
Want to see worse? last three are all Vzw's blazing fast 4G LTE. I think when my contact is up, I'm going to try some of the other networks out, mvnos
[HTC Rezound] azbeerhugger:
6.38 down, 3.56 up here in Phoenix. I'm on CM11. Either it's time for a new ROM or maybe a new carrier. We can cut our bill on half with T-Mobile and they have LTE here.
[HTC Rezound] jagrave:
All 3 are 3 bars if 4G at the BMW plant in Greer, SC. 3G is pretty horrible. Why are they so low? Feel like it used to be faster lol
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
I got my Rezound back form HTC repair the other day and they royally screwed me over. Long story but im still having the same charging port issues and camera went bad. I'm disputing the charge with my credit card issuer. Anyhow the phone kind of still works but they replaced the screen (didnt need one) they broke the trim when they replaced it and motherboard because of bad usb port (but that could have been replaced seperate from it! So now im no longer S-Off and i wasnt unlocked and so fourth. Well i was able to get bootloader back unlocked thanks to help of [MENTION=5642430]pball52998[/MENTION] and his script because HTC Dev method didnt work. However I still cant install my TWRP 2.6.3.0 recovery it just wont work and fails. I found a newer version of it marked vzw it said i installed successfully then i booted and it just boots as normal and now says tampered. I read 2.7 is not good and people cant restore from it, i tried doing that one and downloading a fresh copy of 2.6.3.0 and signature was invalid. So I re-locked and then unlocked bootloader and security message didnt go away. So for now i cant restore the Evervolv rom or flash anything. I think after 8 hours its time for a break of doing this. :mad: :mad: :mad: ... If anyone is able to help let me know. I search fourms and came up with nothing. Thanks!

I do not have root at moment. Evervolv has root built in though. Thanks ill bookmark this and check it out in the mean time.

TWRP is older version! Error! I never had this issue previous to getting my phone back......
[HTC Rezound] AtomicFizzle:
You need a time machine. Why on earth you've spent so much effort, time and money on such an old phone is beyond me. The Rezound was fine a few years ago when it came out... and the great dev community has helped make it mostly bearable along the way, but most people are bailing or getting pretty close (myself included).

And really- you don't know one single person with a crappy old PC lying around in their basement somewhere collecting dust that you can take off their hands? You don't have to make a all-or-nothing decision to choose either Mac or PC for your daily needs. But it really would be helpful to have a PC if you intend to mess around with this kind of stuff. And really it doesn't have to be anything too fancy. I have a really old dell laptop with crunchbang on it that I use and I'm sure it's worth like maybe $20 at this point. It's fine for the basic stuff though.
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
I did have a PC prior to July 2012. But had nothing but issues with 3 of them HP top of the line computers. I used to run parellels desktop on mac until a year ago. I foundi cant run adb in VM software. I am aware it was bad of me to repair the phone but I figured it would have been cheaper vs buying a new one as im on a tight budget like most people. To now make matters worse .... i went to charge my phone and when i plug it in before going to bed and power it off it turns itself on and wont shut off unless i battery pull it! I NEVER had this problem before! Ever since HTC changed out the motherboard it seems to have caused this or charging port to malfuction more. I will agree with you on bailing on this phone but its not as bad as my Motorola Droid X was, thing reset 3x a week both original and refurbished replacement and motos have firmware related issues.
[HTC Rezound] pball52998:
Also you can completely root on a mac....easily... ;D I did.... infact the script I made last night works perfect for unlocking... makes the user have to only have to press enter.. infact I could make one that did everything for them except type stuff into HTC dev.. I could make it for windows too... infact I'm going to see if I can get another script going for recovery since it won't flash right.... see if I could do a work around for [MENTION=4073432]Droid9684[/MENTION] so you never know... macs do work for the rezound too...the only thing that doesn't work is the s-off procedure which I did on Windows... I did it on mac to prove everyone wrong that you can root a rezound on mac... Even though I do have access to a windows computer sometimes..
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Flash recovery via a PH98IMG.zip file via the boot loader, no PC needed... Also, this doesn't pertain to Evervolv so it's better suited for the Q&A section.
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
it wouldnt flash properly already tried that as PH98IMG. I get bootmagic failed error. And other wouldnt verify signature. It does in a sense pertain to Evervolv because i have the rom saved and need to be restored using TWRP recovery 2.6.3.0
