I rooted my buddies phone for him pretty much so he could use wifi tether. Told him to make a nandroid before he does anything. He said he did. He called me this am and said he tried to flash an ics ROM from Scott's site and now his phone won't boot past the HTC screen. He said he tried to retire the backup but it didn't work nor did a factory reset.
Can I just get him to flash a GB based ROM and get him back to square one or must I get an ics ROM loaded up since he already tried to get that on there?
Can I just have him load the stock ruu for GB? Where can I locate that?
He might have forgot the pg98img?? I know it happened to me when i first had ics
What did you do to fix the problem? He has never flashed anything so he probably forgot something. Just trying to figure out what I need to do to fix his phone when I see him later tonight.

Thanks for all the help, really appreciate it
Your "friend" (lol, j/k) should be able to do a battery pull, get back into recovery and then just start the process of flashing a new ROM again. Have him wipe the cache and dalvik cache first. I don't know why the nand won't restore, maybe he didn't make it properly?
Is he using Amon Ra? CWM was known to be buggy on this phone, don't know if that has been addressed. If he's using CWM then maybe he should switch to Amon Ra. iirc it can also restore a nand made in CWM.

Thanks for the reply. My rezound is running smoothly! My buddy should have hit me up before trying to flash anything but he didn't. I'm running Amom but when I tried to install it on his phone it wouldn't take so I installed cwm. He said he made a backup but it won't restore. I will try to install Amon again on his phone and see if I can get his back up to work. I have a nand on my phone off the stock ROM. Do you think I can use my sd card in his phone and try to restore that or is it phone specific? I wouldn't think it is though
I don't know about restoring someone else's nand.
Also, if he gets a mainver error check out this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459347
But if you flash in fastboot you don't have to worry about mainver, it will flash no problem.
You can find out what mainver the phone is on in fastboot using the following command:
fastboot getvar all

My brother tried to install a rom in rom manager. Did not work. He got stuck at the hboot screen. He panicked and tried fixing by flashing the newest ruu. It does the update then when you reboot it gets stuck at the white htc screen for ever. Not sure what he did is even fixable im used to the samsung phone and we just odin back. I have tried to reinstall his cwm and flash the ruu thru there but same result. He was rooted running bamf and he still has s-off even after flashing ruu. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated and to save time hit me up on gtalk @ [email protected]. Thanks fellows.
Did he make a nandroid?

That would have been to easy...lol. nope sure didnt!
Wow fail on the no backup! I'd try to reboot into recovery, load a new rom on the SD and try to flash that.
What did he use to gain root?
Can you verify he still has s-off?
Bootloader version?

Do a system wipe, cache and dalvik. Then try to reinstall a rom, not the RUU.

I wish more people would stop flashing roms in Rom manager. Reboot to recovery clear data,cache,davlik cache, hell format system while you are at it, wipe it all 3 times for good measure. I have always followed the same steps from day 1 and never any issues with roms other than known bugs. Another thing when something doesn't go right don't just flash with no reguard to your device. If something does not work try to clear everything and reflash again. If that does not work clear everything and flash your backup (yes you should always make a back up) rant over.
If I helped you in any way please use the thank you button
Is your problems resolved?
CRW is now official on the Rezound. Both touch and non touch are available.
Regular: http://goo.gl/CF7LE and Touch: http://goo.gl/p0qY8
Enjoy!
You can do it through the new ROM Manager, but getting Touch that way isn't free.

Sweet. I actually have the choice between two recoveries.

Thx DSB9938.
Can some one tell me how to get this on my phone? Do you use adb and push the recovery.img to the phone in the fastboot menu? if so what is the command?
Thanks

Extract the recovery.img from the zip and while in fastboot, run fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Yes it is the same method via fastboot.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

As other stated you can manually enter the commands
Thanks for this dsb9938. I flashed this and it works but when I am using the backup feature it hangs and I have tried it 3-4 times and it hangs at different files during the backup of the system. Just reporting it to see if anyone else is having this issue.
Thanks
I had problems with the backup also. It completed the backup, but couldn't backup my cache. went back to Amon Ra for now.
Same here I went back to Amon Ra as well and was able to backup everything with no issues. Looks like CWM will be coming out with a newer version for the Rezound I would hope.

I wasn't expecting too much from this version of CWM, and I'm sure it will get straightened out soon. Just happy to see options being rolled out so quickly.
Wasn't expecting too much? Kinda rude.
I have done several backups and restores, on several devices.
Sometimes it stops for a minute, I don't know why, but it always finishes.
If you have problems with it, there's still the other one. And I hear twerp will be out soon.
I'm sure koush will do an official build soon, I just like cwr and didn't wanna wait.

Just wanted to say, works fine; and I love you for this. Way to be impatient too!
Downloaded and installed. Ran my first backup. Will try flashing a ROM from zip shortly.
Worked like a charm, as always. The print on the phone is WAY too small for my old eyes, but other than that: perfect.
Will i be able to restore a nand backup i made from amon thru cwm? Or do i need to re backup in cwn

I didn't mean any offense. I apologize. Tried CWM again and it backed up flawlessly. Not sure what the issue was the first go around. Anyway, thank you for the release!
Mine hung during a backup as well. Going to try it again to see if the backup completes.
I've been using CWM since I began rooting so I'm glad to have this option. Thanks!
EDIT: Just ran a backup right now and worked perfectly! It was the 3rd attempt but all is good.
Any advantages of CWM vs ArA?

If it were me, I'd just do a new backup with whatever Recovery I was going to use.

The 300 MB update started to install, but after the reboot, it's hung at the HTC splash screen. After about 40 minutes sitting there, I pulled the battery. I'm able to get back into the bootloader and recovery so I'm not hard bricked. I'm pretty sure my mistake was letting the update install with AmonRa recovery, not stock. The 7 MB update installed fine that way, though. I just clicked reboot after it was done patching.
Any ideas how to recover from this without completely bricking my phone?
It was completely stock GB other than being rooted and AmonRa.
hopefully you have your data backed up.
I would suggest running the FULL ruu linked here if a data wipe in amon ra doesn't work.
Fortunately between Titanium and a couple of nandroid backups, I do have backups of everything but the stock recovery. I'm debating whether to restore /system and try it again when I get home from work.
Anybody have a link to the full .12 RUU?
I'm pretty sure I read you need to be on stock recovery in order to take OTA.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's where I went wrong. Can anybody upload the stock recovery.img? I'm hoping I can restore my nandroid backup from last night, flash the recovery back to stock and try the update again.
I am the same way Antoine.WG needing the stock recovery for download....and need to know how to lock my phone back....

Found the recovery image at the bottom of this thread. I restored /system and /boot (not sure if I needed /boot, but it seemed like a good idea) and I'm back to GB again. For some reason I can see the update with the status button but it won't give me the option to install it.
EDIT: Gave it some time and it finally prompted me to install. All updated with some delicious frozen goodness.
Hey guys, I've searched the forum for a while but haven't quite found an answer to this, so I thought I'd post here. Before I start, I'd like to say, yes I am an experienced flasher and know most of my basic things. I've got a pyramid working perfectly, but this has been giving me many problems.
Basically, I just s-offed my HTC Evo 3D GSM, with an old CID of RO____001(I think), and HBOOT 1.53.
So now here I am, with my unlocked phone, running HBOOT 1.49, with SuperCID. My old ROM was Cool ICS, and I couldn't stand it, so I wanted to change over to stock Jelly bean, preferably AOKP. I've got the latest AOKP ROM, and 4EXT Recovery. I went into recovery and wiped my user data and cache and tried flashing the ROM, and Gapps of course, and then I rebooted, but it booted into Cool ICS again! With this happening, I tried wiping all partitions(including system, no SD card) and then my phone booted into a bright white HTC screen and didn't exit it. Parents are mad that my phone is broken now.
Please help! Much appreciated!
Flash stock and try again

Sounds more like the actual ROM is corrupt.
Redownload the ROM you want to run. Do a full wipe of the phone, including cache. Then transfer over the files. You can use 4EXT to transfer files to the phone via usb storage mode.
Then try flashing the ROM.
If it still doesn't work, try flashing a different ROM.
If that still doesn't work, report back here or feel free to PM me.

Thanks for the reply, DjDom. I'm kind of in a bigger pickle here. My recovery partition won't even work now. This was happening before I formatted all partitions, each time I wiped my data, it wiped the 4EXT app and the recovery partition. Does this mean I need to use the RUU again? And will the RUU re s-on the phone?

Damn if you can't access your recovery then you are in a bit of a trouble.
Maybe your downloaded ROM got corrupted or it didn't complete downloading that's why it's always recommended to check the HASH after you download something.
Good Luck on recovering your device back!

Na, I can still access recovery by simply flashing the .img... The ROM did finish downloading, as the HASH was proper, there's just a problem with recovery actually flashing to system.
Bump.. Come on guys, I really need help.. It won't even load bootloader anymore.
Flash a new recovery with Fastboot USB (I recommend TWRP or 4ext as recovery) Then go onto your recovery an flash the desired ROM.
Goodluck!
I was on TWRP 2.6.3.0 and just flashed CWM 6.0.3.6. I was having random FCs on TACHYON and wanted to see if CWM might help. Do I need to wipe anything after flashing a new recovery? Thanks.

No you don't need to wipe anything after flashing a new recovery. What force closes were you getting?

Phone randomly shuts down. I get a black screen and can't reboot unless I pull the battery. It usually won't fully boot unless it is plugged into a charger or PC. I had a problem with battery drain and overheating. I did S-Off and went through all of R3v3nt3ch's procedures to return to stock and reload all signed RUUs and OTAs. Then flashed TACHYON. The battery drain/overheating problem seems much better. There were no FCs at first, but they are getting more frequent. Just had one and my battery is at 80%.

If your recovery is the "cause" of your force closes, then after you install the new recovery, you need to do a complete wipe and reinstall the ROM and setup manually... If recovery is the "cause" of your issues, it is in the flashing of the ROM that is problem, not the actual recovery itself, that is the issue.
To be honest, those issues sound more like you need to S-OFF and clean flash everything from first RUU forward... it is not the most logical approach, but it seems to work for people having "weird" issues that don't seem to have a real cause.
I just did all of that.
Thanks

Your recovery isn't in use when you're booted into a rom, that's not what is causing your FC's unless as noted the ROM didn't install correctly.

As far as a I know those all in one kits still run the same fastboot flash command under the covers so I don't know how that could cause an issue. It's basically a GUI that runs the commands for you, not a big fan of them because you never learn the actual commands.
