Ok so I'm currently running the latest ICS CleanROM but would like to restore back to my GN nandroid I made. I'm just confused on what steps I need to do. I guess the ICS ROMs use different kernels that are not compatible with GB. In which case I don't know where to get the latest OTA stock kernel from so I can restore back to GB. Been searching and trying to read but it gets confusing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.

There is a posted latest OTA stock on android developement , but I think it got pushed back to the 2nd page by now.
He has 2 files , one is a zip and the other a ph98img file.
Now, the text file in the ph98img file is our old stock number so it won't auto install.
Here is what I did, put the first file on the root of the external SD card.
Open up the second file and remove the boot.img file, and put on your desktop or better yet into your fastboot folder that you used to unlock with.
Now, reboot in recovery and wipe data/factory reset. Then install your backup, but don't reboot yet. Flash the 1 st file you downloaded from the OTA kernel post. After that is done , return to main recovery menu.
Now select developer menu, then select reboot to bootloader. After you are in bootloader select fastboot (should say FastbootUSB ) if your phone is plugged in and your in fastboot.
Finally, open up a command prompt from the fastboot folder containing the boot.img from the 2nd file and type in fastboot flash boot boot.img
This will flash the rest of the stock kernel for you . Now ,, just reboot normally and you should be good to go .
Now, this is if the backup nand your restoring was using the stock OTA kernel. If not , its the same process just pull the boot.img out of the kernel from whatever rom your trying to restore.

i just came back to cleanrom 1.5.5 from ics rom and this is what i did.
you need the cleanrom and cleanflash 1.0 to do this.
cleanrom: http://www.scottsroms.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=70
cleanflash: http://www.scottsroms.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=57
extract the rom file and copy the boot.img file and paste on cleanflash folder.
also put the rom file in your ext. sdcard.
now use cleanflash.exe and flash the boot.img first
then from bootloader, go to recovery and wipe then flash the rom
Awesome thanks guys this is helpful. Gonna give it a try.

I believe CleanROM 1.5+ & RezROM 1.4+ ROMs include and automatically install the kernel.

I'm looking for something I can flash through recovery, not the ruu that you have to change to pmg.zip whatever. I've tried doing this and i can't seem to ever get it to work.
When you renamed the zip are you positive you renamed it to just .zip and not .zip.zip? So many people have a problem with this, as windows will not show the file type and they add .zip to the end. In reality the file was already named .zip at the end to begin with.
That being said there are some pretty clean stock-ish ROMS you can flash. Most just have been cleaned up a bit and a few minor tweaks added. I know lots of people like Fresh as his ROM is a cleaned up Stock type ROM.
If I remember in the morning, I'll link to something for you. Go back several pages in the cdma dev section if you're on CDMA. There's a thread for it.

Yeah I'm pretty sure I've never done the .zip.zip thing. I have a Mac and I've changed it with Astro and its never worked. Is there something I'm missing?
I always go into recovery, wipe everything, and then boot back into hboot, wait for the pmg.zip to load, it says it was successful, and then when I reboot it gets stuck at the HTC screen. I have to pull the battery and go back into recovery to flash something.
did you not make a stock nandroid?

I did.... but I wanted to try starting from scratch again.
go to scottsroms.com and he has all the stock roms like the ruu and zip.
I started over a week ago and I had to relock phone then run the ruu and all went well. I then rerooted to a stock rooted rom. Remember you have to relock before running the .zip stock rom.
i have my unlock code stored on my cpu so all i had to do is half the steps on HTC DEV. There is a walk thru on here somewhere to walk you thru unrooting the htc way.
All -
My beloved 3D is telling me there's a security update being pushed by Sprint. I am rooted but with an as yet untouched (stock) ROM. I obviously don't want to lose root - will allowing this update remove root (I've had that issue with past phones). I backed out of the update but the stupid notification won't go away so if it comes to pass that I should *not* allow the update, I need to figure out how to get rid of that blasted icon.
Thanks as always
If you are on hboot 1.50 just flash stock recovery and then take the update...you will not lose root...when done, flash back to wutever recovery you were using before and you're all done....

If you could see me now, you'd see eyes glossed over, deer in the headlights look. Yes, I'm on 1.50... To flash the stock recovery I'm guessing I just go into recovery, apply update from zip, and go, correct? Where can I find the stock recovery at? Then, when done, if I have a stock recovery I don't know how to put shooter xc back on... Cripes I'm chasin my tail...
Wut u need to do is download the 3 files i have attached here for u.Make sure to extract the 2 zip files.
1.Install flash image gui like any other apk and open.
2.Click on Recovery Image then browse to where ever the stock recovery is on your sd card and select it and then click flash.
3.You should now have stock recovery on ur evo so just proceed to install the update. If all goes good you should now be updated.
4.If you want to put cwm as your recovery again just open flash image gui and repeat step 2 but this time just browse to cwm on your sd card and flash that.
You should be all set know.

Luda305,
Is this proven and can you run a rom that isn't updated?
Thank you in advance!
Yes this is proven as I did this myself. Only works if your on the stock rom of your phone. If you mean can you flash a rom that is not updated after you do this the answer is yes. The radio will stay updated no matter what rom you flash since we are on hboot 1.50 and can't flash radios. Hope this answers your question.

Ok, quick question. Flashed stock recovery, but I cannot update via the HTC updater.

You can't. You need a custom recovery. Unless your s-off and you flash it threw the bootloader.

Also - as far as FlashImageGUI, I downloaded (and thus paid .99 for) my copy from the market. I'm a firm believer in rewarding those who put the work in.
I can't get the update to work I used flashimagegui; flashed to stock recovery; went to HTC software update, hit check now, downloaded, hit install now; it goes into bootloader-type loading screen; gets about 1/5 of the way then displays an android software with a red triangle/exclamation point.
I suspect that if I can find this update in the form of a zip, I could just apply the update from CWM but I have no idea how to get the update in that form... Any help is greatly appreciated

Did you validate that the stock recovery worked by holding volume down and power and booting into recovery? Did you fastboot oem lock? I havent seen much success with people using the flash image GUI but i've seen around the forums that if you go into the custom recovery, flash the stockl recovery zip, flash the stock rom zip then then fastboot oem lock, it works.
Hi guys,
Im new to the rezound but flashed several different froyo/GB roms on my DX so I know basics but Im a little lost between flashing between roms on the rezound since there are kernals and other stuff that was rarely messed with on the DX. Not to mention the DX had a linux iso to flash to OTA froyo and GB which would be nice if someone did that for the rezound, would deffinetly be worth a donation!
Im currently on Scotts cleanrom 4.3 standard. I unlocked the bootloader with the htc coded and have the amon ra recovery installed, and when i flashed the rom i installed the patch, then flashed the ph98img file (ph98img is a kernal?). I tried going to rezrom v3.4 earlier today and once I finished setup I would go into a bootloop. It was sense 3.6 so I didnt think there were animations to disable or anything weird, Im not sure I missed a step or used the wrong file. I ended up just flashing back to cleanrom till I figure this stuff out.
So how would I go about switching to other ics roms, what do I need to worry about/look out for in regards to compatability?
Also What do I need to do to go back to stock so I can get the OTA ics when it comes out (if I even want to)? I did do a nand backup and some backups with titanium pro but I just hope I saved the right stuff.
Thanks for any help!!

That is a lot of questions, but I'll answer what I know:
(ph98img is a kernal?): It can be several things, so you just need to know what you are installing. In this case it was probably a firmware patch.
I tried going to rezrom v3.4 earlier today and once I finished setup I would go into a bootloop: You will need to install the RezROM patch after you install the ROM. It will fix the bootloop.
So how would I go about switching to other ics roms, what do I need to worry about/look out for in regards to compatability?: Read the instructions in each ROM's OP. It will tell you what is compatible and what you will need to do to make it work well. There may be issues going back and forth from ICS to GB, but usually the instructions will give you a heads up. In any case, ALWAYS do a nand backup before flashing.
What do I need to do to go back to stock so I can get the OTA ics when it comes out (if I even want to)?: I believe there is a thread on this. I haven't done it, so I can't help on this question.
Good luck!

You can't flash it backwards and you can't go back to a factory-locked bootloader, but other than that the RUUs accomplish the same thing as a DX SBF.

PH98IMG.ZIP is a reserved filename. If you boot to the firmware menu the Rezound will automatically flash anything in a file by that name in the root of the SD card. Apparently HTC uses different numbers in the file name reserved on each phone, and the Rezound is "98". Other than that, there's no telling what's in the file -- it can be a huge ROM or just a tiny kernel patch.

Easiest way is to flash the leaked ICS RUU. I think in your case you have to actually extract the PH98IMG.ZIP file and flash it manually. And while that's supposedly a release candidate, it's still having a few problems with battery life and heat, so you might not want to flash it till the OTA you want is actually released.
Thanks for the help guys, that helped
Ugh... I had those exact same problems and questions and I even came from the DX.. HTC is so complicated. I'm frustrated with not being able to flash any other roms other than Scott's CleanRom.. The Ph98img.zip file always makes me reboot the phone and when I do delete it and get back to recovery, I am always in a bootloop mode with BAMF and RezRom.

I don't know about BAMF, but with RezROM, you just need to flash the patch in his post, after getting rid of the PH98IMG file. That will cure your bootloop problem.

Just use the search on this site and type in how to remove ph98img.zip . Only reason I say that is because there are a few threads about the issue and a few different techniques. Easiest, I just used my old OG droid to remove the file if I bootlooped. If you don't have an old phone, using a cheap card reader pop it into that and remove the file. Booting into recovery if you can get into it , then mount the card and remove file.
Like I said , not trying be an ass telling you to search I just can't recall all the different ways.

Also , another way to switch between roms. If you make a nandroid of the roms and use Con's nandroid recovery helper http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1547496
Posted here and then follow directions in using it and you can then "swap roms without having to restore the kernel separately.

I've read where there are ways to do this via adb commands, but what I've had to do lately is simply pull the SD card and either put it into a reader or another cell phone, delete the file, then put it back into my phone, boot into recovery, and then flash the patch. I know, it's a PITA, but until we install the new firmware, that's just the way it is.
the way that i do it is hold the battery partially out so you can start it with the sd card partially out... boot into bootloader and click recovery.... then you can push the sd back in... next while in amon ra go to developer menu and select the delete phimg option.
yes this can be tricky but it works when you dont have a sd adapter
This is what I'm running right now and I'm not too happy with it. And also to add that I am unable to launch a few apps and sync contacts pictures to GoSMS.

Need to Restore But Getting Black Screen
Okay so my situation is similiar to the OP.
I was running CM10 then a custom sense Rom.
I made an original backup, but when I restore it I get a black screen at boot.
Typically when I flash a Rom I have to fastboot flash the boot.img which is no biggie, but there's no boot.img that I can find in the twrp backup.
Might be just as easy to flash a stock Rom, but not sure exactly where to find one. Everything I've found is rooted or custom in some way.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

The ROM I'm trying to restore is the original state of my phone. Would this be a stock ROM with a versioning date of October 28th(the day I got my phone and made the backup), current stock ROMs, or launch stock ROMs. Basically will any boot.img work from a stock ROM?
I do see the boot sector being written during the restore process. There is a boot.something.win file in the backup folder for the backup. Can this be fastbooted? I'm a bit timid to try that, but thinking it may be worth a shot...

Thanks for the quick reply, QuickWizard is very fitting. I actually got it after I finished going my own route though.
I grew a pair and went with my got and I went ahead and flashed the boot.emmc.win from the twrp backup in flashboot. It successfully got me booted and logged into the phone. That said the stock rom is so crappy...
But, I was having issues on CM10 with MHL, on a "stock rom with goodies" I was having radio issues with the latest firmawares, so now it's back to my rooted stock backup and I'm doing the HTC System OTA update... Should be interesting what happens next...
Again thank you all with the quick replies!
So I have rooted my HOX+ & installed custom rom & it's bootloader.
I have made a nandbackup & now I want to try another Rom & so will have to flash it's bootloader.
So it I want to restore the nand back up I made & clean everything out will I have to flash the boot img for the restore img I am about to go back to or does the nand back up the boot img as well
Hope that make sense?
Thanks
I posted the same question a while back and I didn't get a response.
However, what I do know is that restoring a nand will not restore your boot.img because we do not have S-off. So, your recovery software will not be able to flash the boot partition in the nand restore. You'd have to restore that boot.img seperately in fastboot. IF you restore a stock nand coming from a custom ROM, I'm pretty sure you'd just hang at splash screen until you flash back to that same custom rom.
I also don't know if you can extract the boot.img somehow from the nand.
So, I haven't verified this works yet, but if I ever have to, or want to restore the stock nand, I went here:
Stock ATT ROM Zips
Downloaded the stock rom ZIP, extracted the boot.img and then I'll fastboot flash before\after restoring the nand.
Let me know if you try this out, or if someone else could confirm this is the correct process?
Thanks

I posted the same question a while back and I didn't get a response.
However, what I do know is that restoring a nand will not restore your boot.img because we do not have S-off. So, your recovery software will not be able to flash the boot partition in the nand restore. You'd have to restore that boot.img seperately in fastboot.

I hear you brother:good:
Actually....when the boot.img is flashed it is extracted to where it belongs. So backups do back up the boot.img. Just restore and nothing extra has to be done.

I'm pretty sure you have to flash boot.img separate from the restore if you're not s-off.

Yes you do. Your most likely going from sense rom to sense rom, you its not needed. If your on a CM rom and try to restore a sense rom s-on you'll bootloop
