So I flashed one of those no sound AOSP roms, I instantly nandroided back to my Synergy #318. When I did it told me "System not responding" "Force Close" I figured bad nandroid. Super wipe and reflashed 318, I went through set up and then I get no 3G no Phone, here is a screeny of my about phone.
Do I reflash the radio???
EDIT...re-flashed radio and still get the same sh#t
I have a backup of my WiMax in clockwork form, flashed over to clockwork recovery, creating a backup to replace current WiMax with the one I have saved (Original).
EDIT...That broke the MD5 and would not allow a restore of WiMax
Trying a RUU now
Looks like the RUU made me a shiny new BRICK!!!
Bootloader is stuck here, its been like this for over 8 minutes.
WTF is really going on here
I followed this return to stock thread HERE
Well after 15 minutes I said F it and pulled the battery. Apparently it didnt do anything as far as the RUU goes because it booted back into my ROM. It stills says "Process System is not responding" Force Close or Wait.
I flashed synergy once and I had the Samething your showing... Everyother ROM I flashed all the info would show up. Sometimes on synergy it was just blank. So are you able to flash any roms?

Yes, it happens with all roms though. It never gives me signal, phone signal or 3G/1X signal. It says looking for service, but service never comes.
I installed aosp again, it offers better info in about phone. this is what I see, not looking good for the home team
In the aosp rom I flashed I found a update-binary, I will upload below. This is what F'ed me up! Can someone tell me how to open this, so I can correct what is wrong and re-flash? I ran aosp through rom kitchen and mustve hit convert to update-binary. Now I am F'ed!
I know you can't connect to data but Can you connect to wifi? Are you on 2.3.3 or 2.3.4? Hausx (sure I didn't spell it right) posted in CDMA the individual components..... Try flashing each one and see if that helps and maybe try going to 2.3.4 if not there. I'd stay away from hboot 1.5 or you will have to do htcs method to unlock which I'm thinking should definitely work.

I can connect to WiFi, I also tried the radio already. I also tried 2.3.4 and 2.3.3 this sucks ares!
EDIT...I found the thread, gonna try flashing them now! What about the factory reset within the rom, using dialer ##778# I think? Would that maybe help, get the hands free activation going maybe? Thing is if you look at that picture it is not even reading PRL
New radio/PRI did not help, what could keep phone from reading this info off of it? I just did a reset from within rom, that didnt help either.
OPST does not read my phone anymore either
OK, I tried RUU again and it went through! I had 2 things labeled TP and it bypassed the first one, and updated the second. I am rebooting now so we will see if I get signal back. If not at least I am at stock for warranty!
And NO GO! Same Process System is Not Responding! If I wait the phone reboots. What the hell can be happening here?
Now I did a factory reset and the phone boots, then re-boots during the set up process.
Sort of sounding like you may need to give Sprint a call and see if they can have you manually re program it over the phone or something. I'm not sure how you'd go about un-doing whatever it is that you updated that caused this. It sounds like something you'd need to mess with using EPST ## codes.
Did you just try the radio and PRI and not the full RUU? if the forced factory data reset through ## doesn't work and the radio didn't..... I'm wondering if trying to root it via htc website wouldn't fix it. Very wierd situation you have here

i have to go to work but hopefully when i get home someone has some advice to help me! my phone wont go past the first screen on boot no matter what i do even if itry to go to a back up.. i had bamf 1.6.3 installed and i woke up this moring to the data not working again like it always happens this phone sucks.. so i went to reboot to fix it and then it just stayed in a boot loop so i went inot hboot and did a back up and it still did the same thing.. i was emailing my gf fine all nigth and stuff then woke up and data was not working nothing would load so rebooted and boot loops non stop! i have no idea why i went back the the 4th radio on adrynalins thread to see if that would help with signal last night and flashed the rom and everything worked great until this morning..
Sounds like a radio issue to me, but I'll defer to the smarter folks.
Do you have a backed-up ROM from when your phone was working that you can revert to in the meantime?
I was going to help you till you said this phone sucks. Don't blame the phone for verizons mistakes.
Oh and I have no idea what you did to get the phone to not boot past the initial screen your best bet would be to get the rooted ruu load that up and go from there. If it still doesn't boot then you have a problem.

If you can still get into recovery from hboot and you have a rom zip still on your SD card, I would do a reset, flash rom, clear cache and dalvik, then boot to see if it fixes it. If it's still looping it might be a bad flash of the radio...

So the phone doesn't even turn on now? Are you sure the battery isn't dead?
As long as you can get the phone to turn on and get it into HBOOT then you should be able to fix it. And I doubt the phone not working is because it "sucks." You ****ed it up somehow.
yea doesnt turn on at all.. i got into hboot tried loading different roms and back ups and nothing would take just looped and quit being ass hurt about the sucks comment its not like you made the phone geez.. i dont know what happened i just rebooted the phone in the morn and it looped it took me by surprise..
would a bad sim card cause the data to just stop until a reboot? cause it would happen no matter what rom or battery or kernel i tried...

Seems to me you got some excellent advice from previous posts. You got/had a radio issue. You should have been using a newer radio....like the first or second one down from Adrynalyne's Thread. You flashed the stock radio onto your phone which is probably why the issues started especially after a reboot when everything was allowed to refresh.

There it is since the previous version requires it most likely does the newest!!
I believe from past experience, that is you pull the SD card, and put it in a computer, load the rooted ruu, then hboot and the phone will wipe and install a clean Rom, you may do the factory reset in hboot also

thank you for actually taking time to give some advice i hit the button.. i was just tryin diff radios cause the signal and data problem so i guess it was the radio that did it.. thank you
Can you get into hboot?? Not recovery. If so.. Download jcase's rooted RUU/Rename it/drop it on the SD Card/boot into hboot and let it go. If hboot can't bring you back from the land of the loops, I don't know what will.

The same problem
I have the same problem. I use my Photon in Russia with gsm sim card. At first everything was fine, the phone was looking Sprint's network for a long time, then gave an error that "can not be activated", and loaded on (works fine). But now, always looking for the network. And do nothing. Wipe and flashing other roms do not help.
Any ideas?

did you relock the bootloader in fastboot or by flashing the sbf file?
What file are you using to relock the bootloader via fastboot? The lock file is an sbf and has to been done via RSD.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
I figured out hot to get over contacting network... just power and vol down and select Boot-Android (no BP) this will boot you up with no modem, so activation fails, select airplane mode, restart.
When it restarts it will say that the handsfree activation cannot be done with airplane mode on, just hit ok and move on.
When you get into the homescreen just turn off airplane mode. so everything is on now. the last things i need are the settings to get this working with 3g now, because i can get voice and 4g to work.
If 3g doesn't authentificate you cannot update your profile, therefor no 3g data and if you start a profile update you will get into the same loop of Contacting Network...
Also in RSD Lite my phone has a nice field that says:
Phone Type: Engineering (0000000000000000000000000000).. check the attachement

that's not the issue. the issues is that it isn't authentication with the 3g, 4g works, voice works.
I need to make it authentificate with the network so i can update the profile and PRL. My PRL is 51079.
Can anyone post the 51082 prl. I want to see if that does anything.
I hate to do this but a real fix is to call sprint and ask for

Ok, I looked around and cannot find an answer that works for me for this issue. I am wondering if it has to do with my phone having S-Off? I am most likely wrong, but i have to know whats going on. No matter what I try, I cannot get My Rezound to go from GB to ICS, ANY ICS BASED ROM for that matter. I checked MD5, Tried with battery door both removed and attached, with or without the SIM card inserted into the phone. The phone boots up almost 100%. I get a message saying "Updating Android" and it says its updating or doing something to 160 apps, the system then reboots, when it gets past the 4G screen again, It says that the boot was completed, I have no signal, i checked on the service type and its correct, tried a factory reset, and still nothing, the system just continues to boot loop over and over again, and when it boots up i cannot get past the Activation screen where it says that the phone is trying to contact Verizon to Auto Activate. I can go back to GB easily, and that works %100. Any and all information would be useful, Only reason why i think this might have to do with S-Off is because my first Rezound was S-On and worked just fine going to ICS, while this new one has S-Off and is just not cutting it.
If you have s-off the rom image could contain a radio update. That could be getting you...also data is off by default in some ICS ROMs.

so what would be recommended in this type of situation? I know its not the data being off thats causing the issue, because when i boot up i dont have a signal at all, and the lock screen instead of showing VZW banner it says No Signal. Would the Radio being an issue also cause boot loop issues?
Did you put the battery cover on the phone ?
Edit saw that u did sorry ...
Sent from my Dinc... I mean Rezound
Only thing i can think of is that the ICS rom you flashed has data off automatically, and requires you to keep pressing the home button until it passes the activation screen.
Also make sure your battery cover is on like yojoe600 said, your antenna is connected to the cover and without it you will have no signal.

this is just sooooooooo irritating. all that i have tried, this is kinda depressing. One interesting thing that i did come across though. When i flashed the BAMF GB, and tried to go from rom to rom to rom, i didnt get any MainVer error.... Dont know if thats just because S-Off allows you to go from one to another freely, or if its just not taking these updates.....
S-off has no mainvar issues. Try putting the gb radio into a PB zip or whatever the resound uses and flash that and boot to see of you get data then

what you mean more info, my original post was pretty clear, dont mean to be snappy or anything, i could try to give more info maybe. I've tried all the "fixes" and so far nothing works. ALL AND ANY ICS BASED ROMS are not staying stable on my phone. They get stuck in what i think is the data bootloop, but i cannot access the dial pad other than through the Emergency dial pad, i input the *#*#4636#*#* and nothing comes up, i try without the battery cover, and without the SIM card as well (Also have tried Various combinations of SIM and Battery Cover removals and inclusions). The device has S-Off, and is Unlocked with DevUnlock, and has Perm Root.
Like I stated in my initial post, the leak may contain a radio update that your phone(and the network) isn't ready for. We wouldn't get that update because our radios are locked and only a signed update from HTC would install it. I'd say back down to GB and wait it out...or post in the thread of the ROM maker and ask them about the radio.

When I say more info, I mean don't describe every symptom... tell us specifically what you did. Every ICS ROM is unique, like for example I last installed newtoroot's Senseless 4.0.3 ROM. In order to use it, I had to flash a ICS Kernel, I used the fastboot method. Then I could flash the ROM using AmonRa Recovery, and it would boot and operate effectively.
That's the kind of specifics we need, so we can follow your steps and identify possible error points, if any.

Definetly more descriptive lol thank you for the breakdown infact. In that case, last one i tried what the ICS Sense Redefined, and I tried to use the fastboot method for the Included Kernel as well, but that didnt work at all, what ICS Kernel did you flash to get it to work? a Pre-Packaged one? When installing, I did a full wipe (Both the Amon Ra Factory Reset option and the SuperWipe that is in the Dev Forum) installed the Rom, went into the Bootloader and did ADB CMD of fastboot flash boot boot.img and thats about it.

ok, i'll give this a shot really quick and do through ext. sd. thanks for the link btw, you've been extremely helpful. let ya know how this goes for me.
I have my Evo 3D and I decided I wanted to flash a ROM on it.
Basically I rooted it and went to flash a ROM on it, and ended up deleting the dalvik cache and cache.
The bad part is, I forgot (like a complete idiot) to do a Nandroid backup.
Is there any way to come back from this?
you could just run an RUU and get back to stock.
btw what problem do you have while flashing new roms?
deleting the dalvick cache and cache dousnt matter, it automatically creates it.
If you haven´t backup up your previous rom, then you cant recover it... that´s why it´s called a backup..
So whats the problem?
I think i read it wrong. do you mean you want to restore your previous stock rom + data? if so its not possible to restore the data without a nandroid.

That works even though I can only see the bootloader screen / TWRP recovery screen.?
And my problem was that I had an error while trying to flash room. I might have done it wrong.
But I just want my phone to work. I dont need my apps or contacts etc
.
Not sure what the problem is either. If you delete the dalvik turn the phone back on and it automatically recreates it. No problems what so ever.
It sounds like you flashed or tried to flash a ROM without doing a full wipe. However I'm not sure.
Perhaps you could tell us in more detail the problem and what you would like to do and we can help ya..

I know that you are trying to help, but all I wanted to know was how to make it back to normal. But seeing as I did it incorrectly, I could really use the help.
I did not do a Nandroid backup.
What I did was try to flash the rom without wiping my phone, like you said.
Then I selected the option of clearing both cache and dalvick cache.
Then tried flashing rom again. Did not work.
I am sorry I cant recall what the error was when doing it, but I will let you know when I try again in a second (if it doesnt work this time.) [ I also found a different tutorial and would like to give it a try.
There isn't a way to get back to the same state your phone was in before wiping it since you did not do a backup. If you are gsm then find the gsm RUU. If CDMA then find the CDMA version. That will get you back to the stock version but it will be as if you just turned it on for the first time ever.
It would be easier to just download a different ROM and put it on your SD card then flash it. Although it won't be stock...
But before doing any of that just boot recovery and do a full wipe. Then reflash the ROM you were trying to install.
I got back to stock with RUU. Then I figured out how to successfully back up and flash my phone with different roms.
Thank you for all your help.
Good luck in your flashing endeavours! Its addicting.
I actually am having an issue. I am trying to flash a rom on my phone and it says im extracting boot.img with a progress bar on the bottom. The progress bar seems to be staying at one point and not moving.
He said something about naming something to PG86IMG and wasnt clear to me what to name PG86IMG.

I actually am having an issue. I am trying to flash a rom on my phone and it says im extracting boot.img with a progress bar on the bottom. The progress bar seems to be staying at one point and not moving.
He said something about naming something to PG86IMG and wasnt clear to me what to name PG86IMG.
Any speculations?

Are you still s-on btw? Since i saw you had problems with boot.img
Try gaining s-off, flash hboot 1.49.0007 and all of your flashing problems will be gone!

I tried the wire trick. Couldn't get it to work. Maybe because I used speaker wire which isnt a sold wire but strands. Do you think that makes a difference?
As long as there is a connection all the way through, no. Keep in mind i tried 20 times or so, you have to get the timing right.
Take another look at the demo vid and try again, if you're not sure about the wire, use a paperclip with some tape around it. (tape is important, you don't want your skin to touch the metal)

I did the wire trick about a week or two ago and I couldnt time it just right so I just continuously tapped the SD card metal holder dealio with the paperclip about every second and it worked the fourth or fifth try.

I think i might have got to comfortable with my phone and possibly screwed something up in the process.
I recently have been Installing and Removing various ROMS on my phone so I can find one I am happy with and stick to as a DAILY.
I recently deleted from the SD Card all the folders in it besides DCIM, MUSIC, and my own Media. I figured its just an SD Card even if I removed it the phone should still operate. But I haven't touched anything Internally on the phone itself. Just always making CLEAN installs before installing ROMS under Amon Ra WIPE ALL. Which it skips my SD.
So for some reason now I have no Mobile Network on my phone it says its Disconnected. It also shows Full bars but with a TRIANGLE
over it now. I want to go back to regular data. I have a Nandroid Backup of my HTC Rezounds FACTORY ICS Build. While it help if I reverted to that? and started over with the ROM I like?
Have you tried long pressing on Mobile Network in settings and seeing if you it shows LTE/CDMA?
It does, and it is selected.
Take a look at this.
I found a way to take it off of ROAMING. In system select I switched the CDMA ROAMING MODE from Automatic B (I think it was) to Home.
I have a feeling it has something to do with a rom I installed last night. MIUI it might have change some options in the phone internal system
to thinking its not in the US. Im running stock ICS HTC at the moment from my NAN backup of Amon Ra. But at the moment its showing FULL SIGNAL BARS
& then seconds later no Signal Bars with an X over it. The verizon wireless rep told me that I was connecting to their SERVERS. I can also make calls but only under Automatic B settings in Roaming.
Im not sure what to do at this point. I wish there was someway I could reset the phone SIGNAL OR DATA OR CONNECTION SETTINGS or radio or something. o DEFAULT. I even reset back to my NANDROID Backup and WIPED all before I did that and I was still having the same problem. It doesnt make sense to me unless its a TOWER near by that is Out of order.

You always have the option of flashing a RUU and with that putting your phone back to bone stock.

i would say start from scratch, flash the global ruu twice, pull the. zip followed by a factory reset. thats what I would do, if I was in your shoes.

Or reflash your ROM. If you can do a dirty flash you can just flash over it and I think you won't lose your set up. That should restore any necessary folders/files if that's the issue.
Oh! What about this... Format it in recovery or via your phone in settings. Since there's that option it should put whatever is needed on there.
If you can't tell, I'm just brainstorming here... I don't know what the files and folders are but seems to me formatting it from within the phone should work or why would you be able to do it?
EDIT: I just reread your post where you posted the pic. I guess you probably have more issues than just the ext sd. Probably best to RUU it and get back to stock and start from scratch. Then you know it's all good and clean.
Thanks

Where can I find the right GLOBAL RUU for my phone?
So I flash the RUU twice one after another. Delete the zip? and Boot and do a factory reset?
I would appreciate any links you can forward me to for the Global RUU!
:victory:Thanks in advanced.
It used to be here:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ull-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/
But I just read today that all those mirrors are taken down.
Check the Developer section in the Vigor Shipped RUU thread.
Here's the link from that thread:

You don't need to factory reset after running the RUU, it puts it all back to factory stock anyway. Relock before you run it:
fastboot oem lock
And after it's done you'll need to unlock again and flash a recovery, root, then flash custom rom.

The funny thing is I have a COMPLETE Nandroid Backup of my phone even before I ever flashed my first ROM! (Before this even happened)
I went into Amon Ra and did a CLEAN WIPE. I wiped everything in the internal storage it was completely blank (I check it under My Computer)
I then restored my Nandroid Backup of my STOCK ICS from Verizon and HTC and Im still getting the same error.
"I found a way to take it off of ROAMING. In system select I switched the CDMA ROAMING MODE from Automatic B (I think it was) to Home.

Are you S-On or Off? If S-On, your nandroid may have missed a file that is necessary that can only be replaced by flashing a RUU. Just throwing ideas against the wall.
If I remember correctly, a nandroid from S-On can't touch the kernel and coming from MIUI there may be files that are missing or modified.
In that case, you may be able to pull the stock boot.IMG from the RUU you were on and push that to restore the files.

I am S-On. Its so weird I cant wrap my head around it.
Another funny thing is I've before restored my Nandroid backup when I needed it with a ROM I had that was Unstable and it was working like it should I was back to normal.
Im thinking it has something to do with their towers in my area. But I called a friend that has Verizon as well and he seems to be handling alright.
I just dont get it. Im going to try that RUU flash and see if that works after I eat dinner and possibly relock my phone.

The android police website did have the RUU files but they are .zip only to flash in recovery they where PH98IMG.zip files.
So im not sure what to do.
hey
Im trying to run the RUU .exe files but the arent executing. I double click the .exe files but nothing happens. I locked my phone so now I dont have access to the bootloader =( I feel like throwing this thing in a river:crying: at this point.

Quoted the wrong post this is for the zip files.
You should only have to shorten the name to PH98IMG. All the RUUs I've seen are some longer name (usually the name of the site hosting them_PH98IMG.)
Then just place it on the root of your external SD and boot into Hboot.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
Are you still working on this?
You should be able to RUU from a zip file. Just make sure it's named PH98IMG.zip, put it on your card and then boot into hboot. It should find that file and run it. Let it run through a few times, do its thing and it should reboot when it's done.
I came back here cuz I just ran across this post from another thread:

Could it be because I don't have an SDcard? My phone doesn't read SDcards anymore, so I'm using only the internal storage.
Thanks again!

So that guy is using his phone normally without the external card. What happens if you boot up with the external card out of the phone?
I think it has something to do with the hardware on my phone that started not functioning. I did try going into recovery wiping the whole phone wiping my sd card and then placing the zip file in my sd card. I then booted into H boot and from ADB locked my phone rebooted and then it started to read the zip file and reinstalled to factory reset. I let it reinstall the files let it do its thing it restarted a couple of times reinstalled everything needed went back into the lock screen and was still having the same issue till now. But it's okay because I called Verizon Wireless spoke with him on the phone and I still have my extended warranty on the phone and they concluded that it was a hardware issue so I got to replace my phone for free lol

Although the problem wasnt solved I still appreciate everyone's help on the matter.

Go to phone dialer and put *#*#3646#*#* then go to phone information. Look for a drop down menu and make sure its on CDMA/LTE Only (or anything really with CDMA and LTE in it, that specific one may not show up on your list depending on what ruu your on.) That changes the specifics of how the radio operates incoming connections. Set your data settings back to HOME and turn off roaming. Lemme know if that works.
