Ok cool. Sorry Sheathunderboilt wasn't trying to be a jerk. I was just starting to wonder if the confusing wording of the questions was intentional.
Anyway, I think your going to have to provide a little more info before anyone can be of much help.

Have you tried turning the phone off then holding volume down + power untill the bootloader screen appears and then manually selecting recovery? ROM Manager tends to have issues.

Yeah I did do that!& when i do the HTC pops up and goes right back to boot loader

reinstall rom manager and flash one ot the older cwm like the 4.0.1.5 not the 5.x.x.x

Try reflashing Clockwork recovery by following the instructions in [url="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179386]this[/url] thread. It sounds like your recovery got screwed up or wiped out somehow. Use version 5.0.2.1. I think the version 5 issues are fixed in that one. If you still have issues try using one of the version 4.x ones.

Thanks guys I did it and got my phone and just FYI version five don't work on my tb so I will stay away from ROM manager!!!!! I still couldn't do a back up in recovery cuz it says error on restoring boot image ,once!again o beloved my SD card corrupt

The thing that sucks is newer people root and then d/l ROM Manager and as soon as they open it it says "hey flash this new broke a$$ recovery." So they do it cuz newer is better right?? Then we get 43 threads titled my ROM won't flash/backup won't restore/ yadda yadda yadda.

Booting into recovery?

My buddy screwed up in flashing his Rezound. Flashed something in recovery rather than bootlader. He is going to bring me his phone to try to fix so I was wondering what is the hard key press combination to get the phone to boot straight into recovery?

To get into the bootloader (which will then allow you to select recovery) do a battery pull, put it back in, then hold down the down volume button while pressing the power button until it boots up.
Oh, and Wreck 'Em!
You can't flash a bootloader file in recovery?
Maybe you should ask your friend to be more clear

From I gathered he flashed the volume wake mod into a ICS rom. Don't know if they are not compatible or what but he is a noob so I will try to help him out. We made sure he did a nand backup so if recovery is still there we should be in good shape.

Class of '05. txkorm is in this forum also and is also an Alum.
EDIT: Also, flashing a wake on volume should work in recovery for ICS. Not sure what happened with his.
There's no reason the recovery should be gone, just give him the steps to do a restore and he should be fine.
Got to fix his problem. He had a phgm type file on the root of his SD card that was keeping him from booting into recovery. Haha. He was freaked out.
Btw class of '93 here.

HTC Rezound Custom Roms

Moved from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1790530
I found a rom on this forum I want to try out, but it does not explicitly say it is for the Rezound.
However according to this site, http://tips4droid.com/top-5-custom-rom-for-htc-rezound/ , the rom is compatibile.
The Rom that was listed can be located here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=964841
and is about halfway down the page, 7.0.4.
Has anyone tried this Rom on the Rezound with success?
If not this Rom then which did you have success with?
I have already done the following:
Unlock Bootloader
( http://htcdev.com )
Install Amon Ra -> SuperUser and su
( http://www.droidforums.net/forum/ht...how-permanently-root-rezound.html#post1941753 )
nandroid backup (deleted after reading about a problem with restoring S-ON)
S-OFF (the method is a pain, but it does work)
( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1696394 )
nandroid backup
tested nandroid backup (worked flawlessly)
So now I am looking to get Android Revolution HD running as it has stock UI and improvements.
I'm fairly certain that this is not a Rezound ROM.

I was reading somewhere that four htc models use the same GB version, and with this being sensation, which I have held in my hand and looked through, case is almost the same and the OS was similar so I am not sure if I should just try it and see or not.
What is the worst that could happen?

There's a whole list of roms in the dev section that work fine on the Rezound.

The worst that could happen is you brick your phone.
Be warned that GB development for the most part is dead now, CleanRom 1.7.5 and Ineffabilis 1.4 are good GB options though.
Cleanrom looks right and sounds lightweight, but the other has my attention with the extras, have you had experience with both?
Bricking is my first concern, not being able to restore stock Rom my second...
I would go with 4.0 or 4.1, but I like how the lockscreen and phone key UI look on the stock Rom and themes do not look as good...

I've used them both and they are both solid roms, I'd have to go with Ineffabilis as my favorite of the two.
Neither one is really supported any though, Scott who made CleanRom went to another phone, Chingy who made Ineffabilis is now supporting a ICS based version of the rom - Ineffabilis Deus. That's the one I currently use.
How does the UI look, is it the same as the stock as far as lock and home screen phone, button?

The GB ones are Sense 3.5 based so they look like a standard Sense 3.5 UI.

That one seems cool, but the thing that got me to buy this phone was the sense look on the home screen three buttons, drawer, phone, personalize lol.

The patch is small, only updates one file. The rom can be found in the link I posted to themikmik.com.
It is downloading now, I hit the wrong link I guess, got the patch too, hopefully this will be awesome enough to ignore the lack of my favorite htc feature on the home screen lol

Just make sure you have a nandroid back up and you wipe all the internal filesystems before installing. If you don't like it, it's easy to wipe again and just restore your original rom. One of the great things about nandroid, it lets you try out different roms and easily revert back.
That's what I was hoping, all I backed up after I got s-off were the default items, so basically my stock Rom is safely backed up on my pc now?
Also when connected to a computer I have the same option of disk drive?

Nandroid gets back up to your external SD card, you can make a copy of it to your PC if needed.

ok i wiped everything except sdcard, but i think i made a mistake bigger than i thought, i wiped /boot also and it just keeps going back into hboot, i installed the rom and patch ok, but it seems stuck in hboot, so i am wondering if wiping /boot killed it?

nevermind had to flash boot.img

If you're s-off, the rom installer should have installed a new kernel for you. If you're familiar with fastboot, you can extract the boot.img from the rom file and flash it.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Otherwise, try installing the rom again.

Thanks bro, kinda figured that part might still be the same as when I used CWM on my Incredible S 2yrs ago also I looked at 2 different kernel posts and for ICS he says right in his post "ONLY S-OFF" phones so I keep getting confused cuz I trust u but those comments throw people off ya know?

Reason why they put that is because a bunch of noobs who don't know what the hell they're doing flash things randomly without knowing what they're dealing with, since s-off requires some researching and adb skills, they push for s-off just to get more advanced users and avoid the noobish bs complaints/issues.
Hey bro yeah if you're using cwm, switch to 4ext it's worth it, use wipe all partitions, faster, easier than Superwipe, trust me I used Superwipe every time before flashing roms

[Q] Kernel questions

I'm thinking of installing flapjaxxx kernel on my i717 running black star x, will this dump my current settings and contacts?
And what are the steps to do this (running cwm)?
It shouldn't. All I did was boot into recovery, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, then install from sd card.

I bricked my phone, I want to know why
Hi.
First of all I apologize for my not so good English.
The thing is that I hard bricked my note i717 by flashing a wrong kernel and now I know that JTAG is my only option, but I want to know if they are going to be able to bring my phone back to life, I don't live in the US that is the reason why I want to be 100% sure before I send it.
I was experiencing some problems with the USB not being recognized by any computer, after searching and reading a lot of post it came dawn to an incompatible kernel (something to do with the fast-charge option) so I´ve tried to flash a fast-charge compatible kernel but I downloaded it wrong and BAM!!! my phone is just a brick now (kinda useful to hold the door)
Full info:
I had the stock AT&T rom, then flashed some other roms without problems until this one:
cm-10.1-20130304-experimental-quincyatt-m2, that's where the USB problems began... after that one I had pa_quincatt-2.57-20120122-201611 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1686320)
My question is:
Is it possible to connect the device(you know the JTAG method http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0SX3iDuIZc ) now that it is hardbricked even if it wasn't recognized before bricking?
I appreciate the responses in advance. :laugh::laugh:
