Sorry for the n00b question. I have rooted and ROM'ed quite a few times, but I haven't messed with my new Thunderbolt much. I tried a few of the roms, but I wasn't really happy with any of them, so I reverted back to stock. Anyway, I want to give the new 2.11.605.0 Gingerbread ROM leak a try, but I haven't been really following these leaks much.
I know how to root and how to load the ROM, but is there a way to root these Gingerbread leaks? Is there an easy way to revert back to stock so I can get the real release when it goes OTA? If anyone has any links they could send me, that'd be great.
Thanks, appreciate it ahead of time!

There are only a few stock nonrooted ruus out there. If u know how to flash a rom, then just go to the development section n poke around til u see a rom u like. There's also a few threads on how to revert to stock if/when needed. Football n DroidTh3ory just released the new 2.11 w a few version (rooted/deodexed/debloated etc)
Ah, yes. Been fiddling around since I posted this. Saw the new Revolutionary rooting method too, which is nice. Just saw they posted all those new versions. This is what I need. Thanks for the reply!
fairly new to the rooting process myself, the eris was my first android and rooted that running cyanogen, but it crapped out on me because i had an issue with the trackball. at any rate...
i've rooted my tb and have been having more and more force close issues, sometimes causing me to miss an alarm in the morning. no fun. i'd like to run the latest 2.11 ruu deodexed so i can theme it, i know i like to tweak with the appearance. currently just running stock sense with a root, no other mods, but i am curious if i flash 2.11, which radio(s) should i have? i've seen screen shots where it appears a person has 2 radios, i've seen posts with links to 2-in-1 radios for the lte/cdma networks and i've seen posts where ppl say to mix and match.
basically, i'd like to run something stable, fast and smooth without having to set extra alarm clocks! initially i rooted so i'd be able to take advantage of wireless tethering, but i'd like to do a bit more with it. could someone please advise??

I think I'm correct in saying that if it says "RUU" its an .exe file so it can be added without rooting. I have the 211 RUU and it installed without rooting. You cn use the Revolutionary method for s-off and it also roots your phone if you want to. However, I think there is no way of going back to s-on once you use revolutionary method.

Hey all!
I rooted my phone quite a while ago and have been running das_bamf_remix_1.7 and am thinking of switching to a different rom, the only thing is that I see all these requirements for mr2 or 2.5... and my question is, do these usually come with the rom? If not, what are the best steps for flashing these radios and what exactly do they do?
Thanks guys.
Hi, that is exactly what I was trying to figure out too.
Can the radios be updated independent to ROMs?
I am currently at rooted stock rom.
Should I install the radio to, say MR2, and the install the custom ROM?
Thanks for your help!
The radios do not normally come with the ROM's and would need to be updated separate using the HBOOT process. GB would need the MR2 or MR2.5, Froyo would use the MR1 radios. I don't have the links right now to point to the radios but if you search here you will find them pretty quickly.
Here is a link for some info on the radio's.

Thanks alot! I think I was able to install both the custom rom and the radio (in that order).

fooooo - Yes you are correct with the rom then the radio flash. As far as the bricking, did you brick or are you just curious about it bricking?
I am completely stock but flashed the mr2 update.. reboots have completely stopped but my signal and 3g (currently not in 4g area) are extremely slow.. although they appear to be slower while pdanet v3.0 tethering.. any info or advice?
Also can anyone point me to a thread that lets me go back to completely stock
Thanks
The bricking issues seem to have subsided since the release of the MR2 radio. I think it was suspected that the original leaked GB radio initiated the bricks.
krime - As far as running MR2 on stock I would imagine that the problem is that MR2 & 2.5 are for the GB-based ROMs (and das bamf 1.8.6) and as such won't work with stock froyo. But I haven't been on stock for a while so maybe somebody else knows for sure.

First: Don't post questions in the dev forum. I know you didn't, but you said you would have if you had enough posts. Only development of hacks and ROMS and such belong there just FYI. As to your question, J-Case's root tutorial that is stickied in the dev forum has an easy ADB installer. Use that it's the easiest way to get ADB up and running. Search XDA and Google for tutorials on how to use ADB. I don't have links, but its pretty easy to find the info. Once you have done that go to the dev forum and look for J-Case's sticky thread on how to properly return to stock. This should get you back on totally stock unrooted MR1.
Sent from my HTC Thunderbolt
This is beginning to get out of control with all of the thread jacking and such with mainver issues. Anyway, read on.
NEW INFO: FLASH THIS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23169557&postcount=4\
PROBLEM SOLVED!
Old info if you care:
Q. What is MainVer?
A. MainVer is a string that HBOOT keeps track of that keeps the latest version of the RUU or PH98IMG.zip that has been flashed.
Q. Why does HTC have this?
A. In order to prevent downgrading with an RUU.
Q. I haven't run an RUU. How was my MainVer updated?
A. There are 2 reasons your MainVer could have been updated at this point.
The Original ICS Leak
DSB's new BAMF Rom (downloaded 1/17/2012 or later)
The original ICS leak that some of you flashed was still in RUU image form. Unfortunately, this was distributed with an updated MainVer string in the android-info.txt. When this was flashed, the new MainVer string was recorded into your device. DSB for some reason also included this new android-info.txt in his kernel PH98IMG.zip that is packed with his rom. I am not quite sure why he did that.
Q. What does this mean for me?
A. See new text at the top
Q. Why won't devs just add the new mainver to their roms to make my life easier?
A. They could, but then they would be forcing everyone to have this problem, not just you. It would also prevent everyone from using an RUU to repair their phones until a new one came out.
More Info:
No matter if you are going GB->GB or GB->ICS or ICS->GB you will need to have the correct mainver for your device. If you aren't having trouble going from rom to rom right now, you shouldn't even be looking at this guide. But if you got your mainver updated, you need to replace the android-info.txt for every single rom forever (until a new RUU comes out and it is safe to unify everyone's mainver)

Thanks! That is a good idea about the bookmark. Ill do that too.
Yeah I had to answer this question a few times... this Q/A should make it easier.
I want to be sure I understand this correctly. If I flash an ICS rom I need to use the android-info mainver source 3.10.605.7 and if I want to revert back to a stock rom I need to use the android-info mainver source 1.02.605.6?
I have not installed any ICS roms yet, waiting for some more of the bugs to get worked out. I've been reading where many people are having issues with installing ICS roms and struggling with reverting back to stock.
I will try to make that more clear. Hold on.
I make a motion to sticky this thread. Anyone 2nd this motion?

Yeah, definitely a 2nd for very this useful post. Especially since a lot of the ROM threads are getting off topic because of this. I saw Scott posted a link to this thread in his release posts. Good idea for the Devs to link back here too
Yeah this needs to be stickied...
Con... here is a post I did explaining Mainver... It is a bit more simplified, might be easier to follow for the new guys. (it also explains what RUU files are and what they do)
Marine6680 said:
RUU files are the official software releases from HTC.
RUU files are signed. (They give proper "official" codes to hboot to get past the s=on security)
This means that they can flash all parts of the device, even the bootloader and radio firmware, which we can not normally flash because it is write locked. (do to s=on we can't flash them even with root)
Sometimes people have issues and need to get the phone back to pure stock so they use the RUU.
Mainver is data on the software version number of the kernel (I believe... it may be for some other part, either way it is version info)
Think V1... V1.2... V1.5... V1.5.5
Because of s=on we are not allowed to "downgrade/revert" to older software versions.
The leaked ICS build has a newer Mainver, some people flashed the leak unmodified, and that changed the Mainver info. Now they need to use a special trick to trick the s=on security to allow flashing of older kernels. The ICS ROMs we have now, have been modified so they do not change the Mainver. This makes it easier to go back to GB or switch to other ROMs.

I am sorry but I am trying to make sense of all this. I am on Scott's CleanRom 2.1 will I need to use these instructions to go back to my stock room? This is my first HTC, I've only had Motorola phones up till now and I hate to admit it but this is all a bit over my head. I have been studying these forums for the last 2 days and I really have no clue how to use the backup I made of my stock GB Rom or even what kernel to use. I do regret not waiting to mess with this phone. Any help is greatly appriciated and I love all the work you have all put into this phone. Thanks in advance.

You're pretty much good because Scott's ROM does not update your MainVer. This is only for those ROMs that updated the MainVer. All you will need to do is restore your nand and flash the stock rooted kernel with Scott's Clean Flash tool. It's really more simple than you would think. You can find the Clean Flash tool and the stock rooted kernel in the dev forum. Just make sure that there is no PH98IMG.img on your ext sd card before you try to revert to your nandroid. Once you have restored your nand, you need to get to HBoot using the clean flash tool to make sure that you flash the stock rooted kernel. If you have the PH98IMG on your ext SD card, you would be kind of boned. Hope this helps a little.
So I flashed BAMF once, but it was weeks ago and I've since been using GingerSense without any issues, and that flashed fine after I tossed his boot.img back on, and then again after I did a full wipe a few nights ago. Is there any way to easily tell which mainver we're currently on? I'm assuming I'm ok since I haven't had to do anything else while flashing his ROM, guess I just wanna make sure.

I believe mainver only changed if you flashed rezound cubed 1.0.2. If you didn't flash that, like I did, you should be fine.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
Well if that's true then yeah I'm ok, I see 1.0.2 is from 1/17 and I know I flashed it well before that, so I guess that explains why I haven't had any issues. Thanks!

Thanks, I added that date to the OP
It worked
Wasabi, I appriciate you giving me the little extra i needed to get back to stock. Thanks for the help.
So, is the MainVer stuck at the higher version number even if you manually flash the older boot.img from the PC?
The boot.img is independent of the mainver. Once you have it set higher, it can never go back. Possibly on an S-OFF device, but that would be pointless.
Oh thrill. So no ICS for us who flashed the dsb kernel? I hope the real HTC ICS is out soon then.....
Hello everyone. I received a Rezound today! I'm not new to Android or ROM's, but the last HTC I had was the Eris. Can anyone recommend a ROM? I'm coming from a DX2 which only had a few ROM options. I have to say the choices for the Rezound are a bit overwhelming. Where should I begin?
If you want ics, start with cleanrom. It is stable and will give you a good ics experience. Once you get a feel for it, try out a few bamf roms, and sense 4 roms.
Welcome to the rezound

They're all great, but you just need to be careful about which one you select since most of us are now running the leaked firmware and some ROMs are designed specifically for that. It would probably be a good idea to use one of Scrosler's ROMs at first since he generally has a bunch of directions about what to do if you are on the old firmware. Essentially, you would flash Srosler's CleanROM and then flash a patch (though he might have done away with the patch). Just look at the different ROMs and read through the threads. There will be a ton of stuff to read, but you really need to in order to be ready so you don't mess anything up. But really, you can't go wrong with any of the different ROMs. I've tried every ROM on this phone and still haven't picked my favorite. They're all that good. I usually switch once a week
That being said, make sure that you are unlocked through HTC Dev. There are plenty of threads in the dev section that will get you started and tell you how to do that. After that, you'll have your bootloader unlocked and will be ready to flash a custom recovery. Make sure that you use Amon Ra's new release. 3.15 would be for those who have flashed the new firmware and 3.14 is for the old firmware. Don't use CWM because it's generally buggy for our phones. Welcome aboard
I highly recommend Rezrom 3.3, its amazingly fast and stable, and lllboredlll has the patch you can download if you do not want to update to the new firmware. All the roms are great though and its really just personal preference.

That one is really good, too, if you're looking for some very nice theme work. Every ROM I've tried has been fast, stable, and sexy as hell. Plus every dev here will be there to help you if something goes wrong with the ROM (if you didn't cause the issue, of course )
EDIT: IF you do want to flash the leaked RUU, even though you don't have to, but if you do, read everything that you can about it. How to do it, what to do if something goes wrong, everything. Then read THIS guide from Scrosler. It'll walk you through the steps pretty carefully so you don't mess up. But again, you need to read EVERYTHING that you can about flashing it so nothing goes wrong.
I have tried all the roms. They're all great! but the one I'm waiting on is Newts 4.0 sense. Should release the update today.
Thanks for the input guys!
I've successfully unlocked the bootloader and installed Amnon's Recovery. I'm downloading CleanROM Pro 4.3 right now. Hopefully that goes smoothly.
I didn't install the leaked firmware as my understanding it that once you do, you can't go back. I think it would be better for me to hold off on that for now until I fully understand what positives/negatives are of each. Have most of you upgraded to the leaked firmware?

That's right, once you update to the new RUU, there's no going back. At least not until we have S-Off. It would probably be best just to not update yet until the OTA is released. I know a lot of us are on the new firmware, but that's mainly because the newer ROMs were going to be new firmware only. Some of them still are and require a patch. I say just hold off, too. At least this way you will have no worries of not being able to return your phone.
Yes I have and don't let it scare you. It's just a matter of repeating what you just went through to get your Rezound rooted. It was well worth it for me.
Smooth sailing! I'll all ROM'd up. Thanks again guys!
Now that S-off is available is there a easier way of upgrading to the ICS firmware without having to lose root, have bootloader locked, having to unlock bootloader again and regain root?
Yes. Google android community rezound ics leak march 16. Download for both rooted and locked there.

Yes you can, but if you haven't noticed, people mixing and matching firmwares and hboots and ROMs without knowing what they are doing has been kind of a disaster today, since everybody now has S-OFF and is starting to screw around with crap they don't know about. The very fact that you are asking this question indicates that you shouldn't be flashing firmwares, radios, or HBOOTs until you've read up on each and can answer these types of questions on your own. Be careful!
If you aren't already aware of the sdcard issues, what causes them, and how to fix it, then you need to read a lot more before messing with anything else.

Just stay where you are! Your girlfriend will appreciate you much more if her phone just works correctly.. The ICS Firmware and radios are buggy at best and the results so far have been extremely hit or miss. GB is the latest working official firmware and HBOOT, so if you insist on running an ICS ROM, then use the old firmware patch. If you dont know what the old firmware patch is, then just leave your girlfriends phone alone.
Lol, the main reason I took s-off was so that I could get the ICS firmware out from under my GB. I can't tell you how much heat and battery problems that leak caused me! I will *not* be one of the first to d/l the ICS official build, no matter how much I liked actually using it.

There is, in the dev section there is a thread dedicated to radios in flashable zip format, and you can get the HBOOTs as well if you search. I highly recommend staying on HBOOT 2.11 and GB radios for now though, especially since the phone isn't actually being used by you.

Having f***ed up my stuff mess with radios, I recommed you leave well enough alone. Its not nearly as staight forward on the Rezound as it was on the Inc, and there in lies my problem.
But I learned a lot today! So its not wasted experience.

Yeah I'd suggest you read a little more starting from the leak and forward. I had to reflash several time to get a stable ICS on my phone running the old-firmware patch, but then again I still ran into system problems. I have it all figured out now, and it didn't take long to solve the issue, but I'd recommend reading a bit. Jumping in the middle of development of rezound might be bad choice if you weren't here since day 1. .

Long story short… I have been very busy for the last 6 months and not been keeping up with all the changes for the CDMA EVO 3D. I am not really sure the best way to get from here to there. I am not a noob and don’t really need my hand held or a dummy’s guide (I have been messing with Android since the HTC Hero and rooted lots of phones and pads). There has been just to many new ways to root and leaked roms…etc. It would be nice to skip all the BS and get caught up with what most people are currently doing.
My current config…
H-Boot: 1.40 s-off via Revolutionary Method
Recovery: TWRP v2.1.1
Rom: ViperRom Redline v2.5 RC2
Would it be better to just RUU back to stock Gingerbread then upgrade to ICS and re-root or is better way to get to ICS with root???? I am not trying save anything on my phone. I am a big fan of wiping and super wiping multiple times before loading a new rom. Also is there any benefit to H-Boot 1.5 or higher?
If this has already be asked can you point me to the correct thread.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If I'm reading right, just search the development forums for an ics rom, flash it and you're good to go. NEVER TAKE OTA
Sent from my EVO 3DMA with a little "Common Sense"
Tl;dr.
Just kidding. I'm running the latest ics rooted Roms on hboot 1.4 revolutionary s-off. I ran freeza's firmware update without the new hboot. This lets me run everything except the new kernel (which most new Roms don't use). If you insist on the new kernel, you can upgrade the hboot too, but you lose the ability to flash aosp and GB Roms.
So, in short, you just need to pick a rooted ics Rom and go. I like zr3dx, Meanrom, homebrew, or common ground.
I also recommend you change to 4ext recovery. It's really nice.

Thanks that was exactly what I needed and I was getting tired of reading all the posts about the VM fiasco, and sticking a wire in the SD card…etc.
You are right it was “Tl;dr” but I also hate threads that go on forever because you don’t have enough info to answer the question.
Thanks again
