It can't find the fastboot executable on your machine, see the highlight above

It's not working because either, A) You do not have the platform-tools installed, or B) your path is wrong so you are executing the application incorrectly

Try "./fastboot devices" with the ./ but no quotes because in Unix it won't execute directly from a directory unless it is in the path or the command directory is specifically implied. If you look in the instructions for setting up ADB on a Mac that I linked above, it shows how to edit the path so you don't have to do this everytime and you can execute ADB and fastboot commands from any Bash terminal window under your user without implying the directory explicitly.

Although I agree with [MENTION=3419683]Snuzzo[/MENTION], you should find a Windows machine, relocking the bootloader, and run the executable version of the RUU for 3.14.605.12. The exe can be found here: http://d-h.st/users/REV3NT3CH/?fld_id=27379#files, the filename is RUU_VIGOR_ICS_35_S_VERIZON_WWE_3.14.605.12_Radio_RS_1.22.10.0424r_3622A_MR3_9K_release_270509_signed.exe

As I said before I do not have access to a Windows PC. I could try to do it thru Parallel desktop but when i tried installing ADB in there it didnt work on the VM software. Besides I was not able to find the RUU 3.14.605.12!!! WHY would I go to that RUU if I was directed to install the 4.03.605.2 originally!?!?!? I'm about ready to quit doing all of this as it's getting rather complicated. Maybe i'll go thru with my original thought and purchase a Rezound off Swappa that's rooted with S-off running the newest CM Rom and come up with the funds for doing so. Well....here I re-did the commands as you can see it showed up....

You want the 3.14.605.12 firmware because 4.3.605.2 is an unofficial leaked firmware, no upgrade path to current without being S-OFF... You want 3.14.605.12 because it is an official release, has an upgrade path to the current release of 4.5.605.14, and is a known good starting point.

So know fastboot is working properly... I am not familiar with the various commands to push and move files, I think [MENTION=2479397]mjones73[/MENTION] was headed somewhere with this and I will leave that to him.

You really should get your hands on Windows XP or 7 machine to RUU, you can probably by one cheaper than getting a used Rezound, a cheap, crappy Win XP machine can easily be had for under $100, or wouldn't it be possible to borrow a machine from someone for an hour or so and go through the process.

I found PH98IMG-recovery_stock_3.14.605.12.zip file. I'm wondering if this will work correctly? http://androidforums.com/rezound-al...ys-noob-friendly-root-guide-start-finish.html

As i've said before obtaining a windows pc will not be an option. I mean I have one friend that i know has one but i'm not sure if he would be willing to do this. It's like someone asking to borrow your car, your personal property. You see what I mean? Besides I can't get ahold of him now that I have no phone and can't drive my car currently because i'm waiting on a warranty relay replacement for my hids. I won't recieve that till tuesday around the same time I will get the SD card reader. Also right now money is tight as so is with many other people in the economy. Maybe i'll look into getting an old used Windows 7 PC but I had many issues with them be it software or hardware related. That's why I finally after many years switched to Apple Mac.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...cream-sandwich-ruu-for-final-ota-3-14-605-12/

What you found was a stock recovery. This won't give you global/gsm support but it will give a pretty good update. That is really the only ph98img ruu available that will allow updating to the later ota's if you wish to take them.
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
So ok how and when do I relock the bootloader if my phone is currently stuck on the fastboot / hboot screen? And should i flash that file then go flash 4.03.605.2?
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
Also I looked up PC prices and found refurbished ones between $150-$200. So as you can see more than a Swappa rezound (if available). I do not buy ebay and refuse to take my business there as i had a huge issue regarding a purchase years ago, plus i have no paypal account which equally in similar had issues with funds. http://shop.usacomputerstore.com/category-s/1854.htm. I'm debating weather to invest long term once again in a PC but to just work on android solely.... The object in getting the Mac was to have the best of both worlds and it seems to defeat the purpose of having two computers running to different systems.
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Connect to the phone in fastboot and execute:

./fastboot oem lock

then put the ZIP file for the OTA on your external SD card and reboot into HBoot (Power+VOL DN), assuming all goes well after about 20 minutes you will be at 3.14.605.12. Do NOT flash the 4.3.605.2 image, that is NOT the one you want... You will want to gradually update via the OTA zip files, first to 3.14.605.13, then to 4.5.605.14

This is all you really need... http://www.amazon.com/HP-Compaq-D53...ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1389992558&sr=1-1 or any number of Windows XP machines on Amazon for under $60 by Lenovo, Dell, HP, IBM, or others, or check your local CraigsList or classified ads site, around here we get them at the state surplus store for about $40, they are out there. You don't need it for much so you don't need much of a machine.

Unfortunately, the idea that a Mac can do ANYTHING is not reality, it will do 99% of the things you need it to do, unfortunately, this is one of the things you need a real Windows PC for.
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
How about running bootcamp on Mac? I know that it's slow as others have told me. But my Mac does have a quick processor 2.3 i7 with 16GB of Ram. That could be an alternate route instead of searching for a used PC. I will never buy an HP product ever again as I went thru 3 top of the line laptops all in which had fail rates within a 3 year period consecutive. Sadly my old HP printer outlasted all 3 laptops I had until late last year then I purchased a Brother which is working great.

I can't lock the bootloader because it's already locked.
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
I honestly don't know if boot camp will work or not, nothing to lose by trying I guess. But if the bootloader is locked, get the full OTA zip on the sd card and try loading it.
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
Earlier I you mentioned locking the bootloader and it slipped my mind that it's already locked.
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
Well bootcamp is a software program that lets a Mac user dual boot so they can use Windows. It's like having a PC computer running straight Windows after partition the drive. I was using Parellel desktop when I first got my Mac but then stopped after problems with viruses from obtaining a free copy of Windows 7.
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
Oh and I've I said before I can transfer files to sd once my usb sd card reader arrives after this weekend. I can do nothing further until then. :good::) I will be loading the OTA I mentioned to you that i've downloaded to computer correct? Then what afterward do I flash or update to? When do I re-unlock my bootloader?
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Let's get it booted and functional first, then worry about the next step. The ZIP you will want to use is this one: http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...cream-sandwich-ruu-for-final-ota-3-14-605-12/ to try to load it via Hboot, since Windows doesn't seem to be an option, follow the instructions on renaming and such on the AP webpage.
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
None of the mirrors are working and will not download. The files were either removed or redirect to host domain website.
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Give me a bit and I will throw it up on Google Drive or something and link it to you.
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
I got it to download using rapidshare on mirror 2 link. Should I delete the other 3.14.605.12 recovery rom i originally downloaded earlier?
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Verify the MD5 SUM and if it is good, go ahead and delete the other one (I am assuming it is the .exe file, that is a Windows Executable file).

When you get your card reader, or a micro->standard SD adapter (my preferred method), copy it to the root of the SD card, then rename it to:

PH98IMG.zip

Usually just easiest to rename and just use delete on the characters prior to the name, that way you don't get the "double ZIP issue", although this just might be a Windows thing.

Then put the SD card back into the phone and connect the phone to the charger (not the computer), and power up well holding down the POWER and VOL DOWN button simultaneously, after a few seconds the Hboot screen should come on, it should parse for a PH98xxx file and find the one on the SD card and attempt to flash it (I think it will ask you to confirm the update, just watch the screen and follow the instructions), it will take anywhere from 10-20 minutes and might reboot several times, this is normal just give it time, it will come back with a complete message when it done. Once that is done, reboot and let the phone boot fully into the OS and you should have a functional ICS operating system and working phone, verify everything is working and then we can move onto the next step, which might vary based on what you want as an end result.
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
When renaming a PH98IMG file shouldn't the zip extention be left off. I've gotten errors by naming it with the zip on phone. [MENTION=5642430]pball52998[/MENTION] also will concur with me on this topic as he has had the same issue regarding the file. How do I verify the MD5 sum? Thanks for all your help regarding the issues I'm having in order to upgrade. And I will keep a note for future reference to always install PH98IMG files to External SD NOT internal SD. It's not often I have to work with these files and flash roms. I did this more with my original Droid, Moto Droid X couple years ago and had totally forgotten some of the process.
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
This might be because of the "double zip" issue I was referring to, Windows (and possibly the Mac?) will hide the file extension of a file it knows about, the extension is there, just hidden unless you go to the terminal and do a dir (or ls in the case of a Mac/Linux system) and if you add a zip to the end of it, the name actually becomes "PH98IMG.zip.zip" which cannot be parsed by the bootloader.

The end result is the FAT32 table filename must be exactly "PH98IMG.zip" case sensitive for the bootloader to see it.
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
Interesting, I enjoy learning things all the time. Thanks for this validation of information. I will continue this work once my card reader arrives. I was going to get an sd adaptor for cheaper than the usb one but it was estimating the shipping would be more than a week which I can't wait that long for it to arrive. A few days without the phone is ok but not a week or more, that's time constraint to the max. And as for checking the M5 sum, how do I go about doing this? Thanks again! Will update soon. :good: :)
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
Bootcamp has been included free on all Mac's since 2006. All I have to do is find a clean version of Windows 7 to use. I have plenty of storage to partition the drive. Now all I have to do is find a clean copy with no activation required or serial, download it then I should be able to use my external HD as a USB drive and Bootcamp should be able to read it and install properly the system. Then I can dual boot and go to windows using my Mac. The specs that my computer has should run it smooth. And [MENTION=5642430]pball52998[/MENTION] should read this as well.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
I linked him to 4.03.605.2 which should be fine, he just needs to move it to his external SD.
[HTC Rezound] pball52998:
And see look boot camp. And wahoo updates. Gotta love them updates. Hey while I'm here I should try rum runner :p
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
The dreeded windows updates always a walk away from computer and forget about what one is doing. Do you know where I can get a safe Windows 7 copy with activation or serial code crack that works? I've found them in the past but I think the last iso I had contained viruses. I've been super busy today with other things, it's why i've been absent here today more or less.
[HTC Rezound] pball52998:
Your best bet is to just buy it. Thats what I did on mine. Use more than 50gb of your hard drive XD I accidentally set it to that need to redo it to 100. O well. But I would suggest Just buying it. Do more that 50 gb of your hard drive to it XD I don't use windows that much. But don't use the windows toolkit ez-kit installer. It's said to be just a straight up trojan and will jack your computer up. But I don't know where you can find one with out just buying it. That's always the safest way.
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
For the sluggish performance how much ram did you dedicate to running Bootcamp? That will be some of the problem. I upgraded to 8GB OCW ram last year (4GB Apple) for a short time then to 16GB from Crucial. Have had no issues or programs force closing. Only a few times in regards to OCW and one chip was defective but replaced immediate. Both companies are stellar in the computer industry. It makes a huge difference depending on the programs you run on your Mac. I found running VM software it was still quite sluggish with only the 8GB then I installed Photoshop and it was worse. Now everything is very smooth. I suggest if your able to...perform a ram upgrade.
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
Absolutley not! That's also very costly to do! An upwards price of $200 or more in not cheap. I'd be much better off outright purchasing a Rezound on Swappa or used PC for that amount then. Not very cost effective in the least.
[HTC Rezound] pball52998:
Well everything I do runs smooth as silk. And my windows has 8 gb RAM dedicated same as mac side. Uses everything. And for my Mac side I run the whole adobe suite smooth as silk with 8gb of RAM. But kinda back to the thing I posted before. Did that make sense and I wanted to know if anyone would double check me to make corrections...
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Why this one?!?! Unless he is going to S-OFF there is no upgrade path to current HBoot and radios, there is from 3.14.605.12... And he is on a Mac, so S-OFF is tougher.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
The one I posted is hboot 2.27, why would he need to s-off?
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
How else would you get from this one to Hboot 2.28 and 0123/0124 radios? From the stock 3.14.605.12 ROM you can OTA or flash the ZIP to .13 then do the same to get to 4.5.605.14, which is current. Once at 4.3.605.2 you can't just flash a ZIP to upgrade to current w/o S-Off... Or am I totally mistaken here?
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
You might be right, I wouldn't put 2.28 on though unless I was s-off, no going back without it. That's just me though, I mess with my phone enough where I need to RUU it from time to time. :)
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Ah, I see your reasoning, guess it depends on how you use your phone... if you just going to flash it and use it, probably should just follow my recommendations, if you are going to be a "flashing freak" and doing things with a potential to mess up stuff might be better to go this route, although I seem to remember a few people saying that they had issues with the radios in some markets and the 0123/0124 radios fixed the issue.

Guess I went S-OFF some time ago, so I don't worry about it... over the entire time and with all the Rezounds I have owned, I have never had to RUU once.
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
S-Off to by pass boot image in fastboot i believe. Just one less step in the flash process. I'll be recieve my sd card reader later today and can continue working on the droid that's been off since thursday. I'm looking at flashing to ROM 4.4.2.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2607786&nocache=1
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
So what file will I be flashing first? I receive my micro sd card reader today in mail. It's 2:55 am here and I need sleep. I'm currently S-On but will consider going S-Off especially IF I have to flash alot which I have no experience in doing so. I've always just rooted droids and stayed on stock roms. But i've messed up plenty where i've had to go back into recovery. Looking to advance to [4.4.2] Evervolv 4.0.0 KitKat. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2607786&nocache=1
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Evervolv is a good choice, that ROM is a very good choice for a daily driver... which one you flash is up to you, 4.3.605.2 will get to the end result quicker, and as long as you are willing to S-OFF if needed (which will require Windows or Linux) it should be fine.
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
Well.... i got my micro sd card reader to read my external sd card. I still can't connect my phone via usb and it wont read the internal so i can place files on it. My phone is bricked!!! **** i'm pissed!!! Now what shall I do???
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Its not bricked... Place the zip file on the external sd and name it PH98IMG.zip, if that doesn't work a Windows PC is ESSENTIAL to use the executable RUU version. Sorry, at work for next 4 hours or so, that's all I can do for now.
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
After loading and checking the PH98IMG zip file (3.14.605.12) it returns to the main selection screen in fastboot. I am trying the 4.03.605.2 file now. The files say no image!
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Does your bootloader say "Locked" or "Re-locked? So are you saying it actually sees the zip file and tries to parse it but says no image?
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
It is still Re-locked from thursday with security warning tampered. Yes is not reading file correctly to parse it.
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Ok... Locked is good. I think you're missing the point of my question though, does the bootloader see the file, try to extract or parse it, and then fail, or does it just skip it entitely and say no image found. Also, is this the SD card that came with the phone or is it a different one? Can you verify the partition table and make sure it is fat32? Are you on stock recovery, meaning if you select recovery from the bootloader menu do you get the Android or does it open clockworkmod, Amon Ra, or twrp?
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
Recovery option does nothing and wont let me access my clockwork recovery. Yes the format is FAT 32. I did try to install windows on my computer via bootcamp but failed and for awhile wasnt able to boot my Mac, had to call Apple support. The bootloader I think skips it and does not see the image, it just says "loading then "checking" afterwards completion it does nothing but return to selection screen. All screen options do the same. I've installed Wine on my Mac, now previously I wasn't able to get the program to work proper. Installing Windows on Mac, purchase a PC or borrowing a PC are not options. I've had a very stressful night so far and need to get rest as I have a long day ahead of me tomorrow. But I need to get back up and running on Droid. Thanks so far for all your help, I do appreciate it!
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
A suggestion was made that I revert to using an RUU file. Now that I have Wine installed maybe this could be an option!? It's been nearly a week since my Droid has been out of service. I can't depend on my ipod touch 4th gen for much longer, super lags plus i've missed phone calls (I get email alerts by voicemail weather device is turned on or off.
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
Here are the files and how they look unzipped if this helps at all to diagnose the problem. I keep the file compress zipped PH98IMG with zip extention on root of ext sd card. Neither of these versions will work proper.
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Everything looks correct, except to flash the ZIP you must has the stock 3e recovery. Actually I think your best bet is to run the executable RUU from Windows, it will fix everything... If it doesn't, then it would need to be sent to a service to be JTAG'd
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
Thats just great....well....as I said I do not have windows but I have wine installed. And I have no clue what "JTAG'd" means!? Am I on stock recovery? And below is a really bad photo taken with my Mac webcam because my Nikon dslr is being serviced currently. It shows it's not reading the file properly. If you insits on me using windows then for that price then I might as well garbage my current rezound....and buy one already rooted, flashed to current rom for a lower price. I can obtain one easy for $130 or less USD. I already wasted money on an external micro sd card reader.
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
I do not know if the RUU will work with Wine, sorry. I have my doubts, but you are due for a win somewhere.

JTAG is a service where they use a programmer and reflash everything in the phone directly to the chips. http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/htc-rezound-jtag-brick-repair/

If you are on stock recovery, when you select Recovery from the HBoot menu the screen goes black then the android guy sits there for a minute or two (no menu or text really), the recovery menu can be accessed after this times out (you will know, he turns red or something like that) by pressing Vol Up+Power.

An external sd reader is never "wasted money", they are multi use devices.
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
I just looked into the JTAG site and service and I must say...WOW! Thank you so much for this relative information. I've priced out some options and this might be the route i'll take! Screw having to deal with working around windows. However I don't see many reviews on this company and secondly i'm sure shipping with insurance will cost much. I know to ship my Nikon dslr out with insurance was $38! I'm wondering If i should have them root it to the rom I mentioned to you previously that you said is ok to use? And do you recommend SIM unlock? Or just S-Off and root, flash? It also looks as if the company is relative local to my state in midwest US!
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
I know nothing about this company, when I Googled "JTAG HTC Rezound" it was the first relevant result, so take it with a grain if salt... There are other companies that do this but this is not a common service, so there might not be many reviews.

As far as what services, yes, flash current ROM, S-Off, and root. SIM unlock is not needed, the Rez is not GSM carrier SIM locked so you would be paying for nothing.

Shipping with insurance shouldn't be bad... This is no Nikon DSLR camera, USPS Priority Mail 2-Day Flat Rate Small Box with a declared value of $200 should be less than $10.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Double check naming of the zip. It must be PH98IMG with zip extension.
[HTC Rezound] Droid9684:
Phone is being sent to Josh at MobileTechVideos to be JTag'd. Everything is printed up, paid for and will ship out later today. I've read reviews of consumers on XDA and public webpage facebook.
