[Q] stuck on white htc screen plz help!! - HTC Rezound

I rooted my rezound and wanted to update my rezound to ics os I followed the step exactly but when I rebooted I got stuck on the white screen. I took out the sd card and deleted the zip file and download the file again put the sd card back into the rezound but same thing. Now I can't get back to old 2.3.4 os i was using before because the post said do a wipe all data can someone help me with this to get my phone back to working order. I don't care if it is android 2.3.4 or ics 4.0 plase help.

I would first delete the PHzip file so you can start over.
Are you able to get into fastboot?
If so, check what mainver you are on with the following command:
fastboot getvar all
Also, check if you can get into recovery. Do you have Amon Ra on there? Did you make a nandroid before trying to flash ICS? If you made a nandroid and can get into recovery then restore that. If you didn't make one make a mental note to always make one before you flash ANYTHING on your phone.
If you can't restore, after you get your mainver, try to run RUU to get you back to stock. You need to relock the phone before running this.
Use the file from here that corresponds to your mainver:
http://www.filefactory.com/f/c2e320ee1d5c7886/
(Link from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1338916)
If your mainver is 3.xx then you are up to ICS and will need to find a thread about getting back from that mainver to stock. I know I've seen one or two.

I had that same screen after flashing my first ROM, and in my case it was that it couldn't install the lower mainver in the ROM kernel (most are 1.x) since I was already on 2.x from the OTA. You probably need a different kernel to flash that has your version. Look in Rezound Android Development for a thread titled [KERNEL] Assorted stock kernels, then get the one you need based on what you learn from the previous reply and flash in recovery.

This is the thread I believe:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22076459
If just the kernel doesn't work, another thing you can try besides RUU is flashing a Stock OTA ROM. You can use con247's Stock OTA ROM instead of running the RUU.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21880389
Here are the steps to take to accomplish that:
1) use Amon Ra to flash con's vigorStock OTA ROM. It will do its thing then reboot to hboot. I think it then asks you if you want to update. Don't do it yet.
2) At this point you want to relock. So go into fastboot on the phone. Using adb/fastboot type the following at the cmd prompt:
fastboot oem lock
3) Reboot phone and let it flash the PHzip file. It should reboot completely when it's finished.
4) delete the PHzip file using a file explorer app like ES File Explorer or Root Explorer.
5) get the phone back into fastboot. Unlock again using adb/fastboot. I don't remember the exact command but you can find that in the guide for unlocking.
6) reinstall su using Amon Ra.
Now you should be stock OTA rooted with the new goodies.

i can't even get into the command promt it scolls down really fast and closes. when i went to sdk manager all the 4.0.3 boxes were checked does that mean i hane ics 4.0.3?

Sorry yes i can get into fastboot iv'e tried everything i can search for. Am gonna try getting a different kernel for the 4.0.3 ics

Well i install a custom rom and kernel but before i installed i did a wipe and restore to factory and i wiped delvek and then sared the install of new kernel and custom rom. am i missing somgthing. If i were to try to back up android 2.3.4 from my girlfriend lg revolution would i be abould to exract only the android 2.3.4 and erase the lg and somehow get sense 3.5. I dont know am new to this. I rooted the phone fine with no prob and i thought that an update would be easy. I did have amon ra but now i cant locate it on my sd card. I even tried the PH98IMG.zip thing and that didnt work. I will try anything please help and dont give up on me. Oh and is there another way to get the command promt up.

Everything you need can be found in these Rezound forums.
So you can get into fastboot. That's good.
Do you still have your computer set up from when you unlocked the phone? If not, download the mini sdk that MrSmith317 made that I've attached and place that in the C: directory of your computer and name it something easy, mine is named android-flasher. Then just always keep it there as you will need to use it often when modding your phone.
1) get the sdk working on your computer
2) On your phone, do a battery pull, then boot it into fastboot and then connect it to your computer.
3) Type the following at your computer's cmd prompt:
fastboot getvar all
and find out what mainver you are on.
* If you are on a mainver that starts with 3.x then you cannot run the RUUs. I will try to find out what you should do in that case. If your mainver starts with 1.x or 2.x then continue onto step 4.
4) Relock your phone by typing the following:
fastboot oem lock
5) Download the RUU for your mainver to your computer. Use the file from here that corresponds to your mainver:
http://www.filefactory.com/f/c2e320ee1d5c7886/
This is an exe file so just run it on your pc with your phone attached. I know you need to be locked, I think you need HTC Sync installed, so if it's not working search for those answers, it will work, others have done it. Now you are back to stock.
5) Unlock your phone again using the same unlock bin file you got before by putting it in the same folder you are now using for sdk. Type the following command:
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
If you don't have it obtain a new one by following the same steps you did before to get it originally. Here is a guide for that:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20780879&postcount=1
Now you should be stock and unlocked.
6) Flash Amon Ra in fastboot. Get the lateset version, 3.13. here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?chpoxzb8bl4nn2b
Type the following command to flash it:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-ra-vigor-3.13-gnm.img
Now you should have Amon Ra on your phone.
7) Root your phone by installing su using Amon Ra. Go to the developer menu and find the option in there.
Now you should be stock, unlocked and rooted.
8) MAKE A NANDROID BACK UP NOW AND LABEL IT.
9) Flash a new ROM.
*** If your mainver is 3.x try this thread to see if you can come up with a method to go back to stock. I haven't looked into this since I have not ventured into ICS land as of yet.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459347
There are also some threads about getting back to stock from ICS I think so here are my search results for "stock ics" in the thread title and you can probably find an answer in there somewhere.
Hope this helps you get back up and running.

OK nevermind I got it. I just download mik roms and the kernel right under ineffabilis rom and the link for the kernal is right under it. I had to do the steps twice but it work finally like at 430 in the morning. I turned off the computer and went to bed. The first thing I did when I woke up was check my phone and it was still working. Phone calls,text wifi pretty much all features are working. So i decided to write an update to let anybody know that if you have trouble fixing white htc screen dont worry it can be fixed. Am verying new to this and if I can fix this anyone can. I will check back on this post to see if any needs help. Thank you for the people who tried to help me in my post. Now I can be one of the people who help others now that I know who to root and fix the white sceen.

If you haven't done so, make a nandroid right now so you can always go back to that if anything gets messed up.
The "people" who tried to help you was me, so maybe you can hit my "thanks" button.

Just a detailed messages of What I did.
1) I erased any PH98IMG.zip or any other roms I download so the sdcard should have no roms,kernels or anything you downloaded to fix the white htc screen. What I did was use my girlfriend LG Revolution to insert my sdcard to erase any roms or whatever I tried to use to fix before.
2) put the sdcard back into the same phone and hold down the - volume and the power key to get to HBOOT screen. On this part I always did the battery pull but I left the back cover off up to you if you want to put it back on I guess it doesnt really matter and connect your phone to your computer.
3) Push the volume button down til you get to recovery and push the power button once to select recovery.
4) push the -volume til you get to USB-MS TOGGLE and push the power button once. Now go to USB-MS Toggle SDCard now your SDCard is read by your computer.
5) Now go to this website and dont read everything just use download link about half way down the web page. Ineffabilis V1.0 make sure to skip the ad first then the real download should pop up. Now click SAVEAS and when the files come up to choose where to save left click once to highlight your SDCard or removeable stroage and click save. Now do the same thing for the download right under Ineffabilis V1.0 named stock rooted kernel (flash in bootloader)
http://themikmik.com/showthread.php...-0-12-31-11-Sense-3-5-Beats-Tweaks-1-02-605-6
thank you so much guys from themikmik.com you saved my phone
6) After dowload is complete press power to disable USB-MS. Now push power once to return to recovery menu and disconnect your phone from the computer. Go down to wipe push power once to select. push power once on Wipe ALL data/factory reset and push power again to start the wipe. After that is done scoll down to Wipe Dalvik-cache after that is done go back to the recovery menu.
7) Now go to flash zip menu and push power once. Go to choose zip from sdcard now install the kernel and then the rom you downloaded.
9) once it is complete go to re boot system now and push the power button. and your done it will stay on the white screen for about 20 min and start up.
more info my s-on.
Just thought I would share this good luck.

Also erase or rename the PH98IMG.zip file from the root directory of your SDCARD. It could save you some headaches in the future.

Need Help for Htc Rezound!!!

I am a rooted htc rezound user and am in desperate need for help. My rezound is rooted and the bootloader is unlocked. I just recently tried the new ICS (sense 3.5) rom that was released yesterday. Before i used the rom i did a nandroid backup and then a factory reset. Once i was finished with the rom (because of the bugs it carried), i went to restore my phone using the nandroid backup. When the phone booted back up, after it hit the HTC splash screen, it freezes. The phone is still on, but stuck on a black screen.
I have tried everything. Restoring the nandroid backup multiple times. Flashing a stock rom of the htc rezound in the recovery and also (changing the name to PH98IMG) and the tried flashing it through bootloader/hboot. I also took the stock kernel and did the same exact thing. Ive also downloaded the automatic (.exe) RUU update of the stock rom, from Scott's Roms, but that just kept giving me an "Update Fail" message.
Please help me!
.
Thread moved. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.
No offense, but this is what you get for flashing a leak without understanding the repercussions. Fortunately, you can be helped but in the future it may not be possible to restore to an earlier version if you flash a leak via a PH98IMG.zip.
Several things you and others must understand now that you have flashed your phone via the PH98IMG.zip leak. If you flashed scott's rom of the leak, you are fine and this DOESN'T apply to you.
1) Your mainver was updated. It is possible you WILL NOT be able to EVER use an RUU to restore in the future. The RUU checks for the mainver and if yours is newer, it will error. A new RUU of the official ICS update will probably work, but that could be a ways off and you could be screwed if you need to RUU in the mean time.
2) Since your mainver was updated, the current ways to install kernels that involve PH98IMG.zips won't work unless you modify them yourself. So you will have to install them via fastboot. Some of them are distributed as zImages so you can't flash those anymore without devs updating their tools. It is unlikely that they will, because in order for them to work with your phones, it will update everyone elses mainver when they run the kernel installation and doing that for everyone would be irresponsible.
DO NOT FLASH THIS IF YOU DIDN'T UPDATE TO THE LEAK VIA A PH98IMG.ZIP IF YOU FLASHED THE BOOT IMAGE WITH FASTBOOT OR CLEANFLASH YOU ARE FINE. IF YOU MODIFIED THE android-info.txt YOURSELF BEFORE FLASHING BECAUSE YOU ARE SMART, DON'T FLASH THIS EITHER.
Anyway, to use:
1) Wipe in recovery
2) Format /system in recovery
3) Run your nandroid restore or install a rom of your choice.
4) Flash the PH98IMG.zip from the bootloader.
Restart and you should be OK

As stupid as it was that I installed that PH98IMG.zip without looking further into it, or if I had just used fast boot, or cleanFLASH I wouldn't be in this mess. I mainly blame it on having the Eris, INC1, and INC2 all S-OFF, esp my latest phone before the Rezound inc2, was perma S-OFF thanks to the XTC clip so I could flash just about anything without repercussion. But you live and you learn. The Eris had crazy 2.1 leaks and people got stuck on some bad builds, and not only that they were unable to root when root finally came out, because they flashed the 2.1 leak.. I thought I learned my lesson then but with this I didn't know any better. Learn something new everyday. but I disagree with this part. "It is possible you WILL NOT be able to EVER use an RUU to restore in the future."
Jcase has assured me this is not true.

Sounds like you haven't gotten a hang of flashing a ROM with this device. Try the following.
1 - Download Cleanflash to computer
2 - Download ROM you want to install.
3 - Using a ZIP program, look in the ROM and copy the boot.img file and put in the Cleanflash folder.
4 - Open the back cover, pull battery, wait 10 seconds, put back battery and cover.
5 - Press and hold Vol-, then power for 2 seconds, release power, wait for hboot screen, then release vol-
6 - Connect phone to computer
7 - Make sure HTC Sync is not running on computer
8 - Run CleanFlash and use option 2 to flash boot.img to phone
9 - On the phone, use vol keys to go to recovery (I assume you have Amon Ra recovery already installed)
10 - Follow the menu to mount your sd card
11 - From the computer, your phone's sd card should now show up as a drive
12 - Copy ROM (entire zip file) to sd card, while your at it make sure there is no other ZIP file on the card. You should also mount the internal card and make sure there are no zip files there either.
13 - Unmount the card and disconnect from computer
14 - Now flash the new ROM
15 - reboot phone

Considering I can't post in the development forum yet, I'll try asking here first. I've been reading up for the past few days on flashing recovery and ROMs for my new Rezound, mostly on ADB today to get a feel for the very basics. Right now I'm trying to get Amon Ra onto my device, only to run into the command prompt telling me, "error: cannot load 'recovery-ra-vigor-3.12b-gnm'. The recovery.img is in the root directory where the fastboot and adb executables are located. What am I missing? It's likely a simple fix, but as of yet my searches aren't finding the results I'm after.
Also, when I tried using fastboot to reboot the device to the bootloader (fastboot reboot-bootloader) I got a < waiting for device > message. I ended up just doing a battery pull to get into the fastboot menu on the phone. And as I've seen it asked previously, I did install the drivers when I was going through the unlock process last night. Any suggestions?

Recovery img has to be in the same folder as the fast boot file. Second...you must make sure too add the file ext for that file. Should be .img for a recovery file.

Can i use the PH8 zip to return my Rezound to stock? I am on Scotts leaked ICS rom. It works and all but i want to restore my phone to stock. Im on a Mac so i can't use a RUU. Is there a zip of the latest RUU i can flash in Hboot?
There is a stickied post with the stock vigor RUU's that the phone's came with . Shouldn't have an issue since you used Scott's version he altered the mainver to avoid issues with going back to stock.
Need to relock then run RUU though FYI.. just in case you weren't clear about that.

I am so lost, need help pleeeeeeeaase!!

Ok, so I got my rezound today and the first thing I did was unlock the bootloader because of the factory reset, I didnt want to adjust any settings just to wipe them out. So i unlocked the bootloader and everything was smooth. Then I rebooted my phone and then tried to install Amon Ra via the guide in the development section. I did everything to the tee but the phone never rebooted automatically so I manually rebooted and then powered down. I deleted the PH98IMG file from my sd card (which was for the 1.02.605.6 version) Then I tried to access the Recovery via the volume down and power buttons. When it looks like the recovery is going to load but I get an image of a phone with an exclamation point inside of a red triangle ...???? So i booted my phone back up it would no longer connect via USB mounting as storage, I tried everything from formatting the SD card to factory resetting, to rebooting my computer. No idea why that all of a sudden my USB would not connect, I get a CD ROM auto play notification with a white square with VZ inside of it, WTF!?! Ok, also I cannot update to the newest software version. I even relocked but when my phone says checking for new software it just dissapears and nothing happens. This is so frustrating, I just wanted to install Amon Ra to perm root so I could install cleanrom but apparantley im doing something wrong and I have no idea, just trying to follow directions, theres just so many files and im not sure if I have the right ones
I tried to install Amon Ra with the AIO by Hasoon but all I get is a command prompt with this in it
'C:\Users\User\Documents\Desktop\HTC' is not recognized as an internal or extern
al command,
operable program or batch file.
C:\Users\User\Documents\Desktop\HTC ReZound\AIO Toolkit\Rezound_All-In-One_Kit_V

Also, I charged my phone for like 2 hours when I got it, briefly powering it on twice, the battery light is still orange and the meter under about phone/battery is full and it still says charging???
EDIT: My device is connecting via USB all of a sudden magically....

Did you installed htc sync in your computer?

Yes I had to have the drivers installed to unlock it.... One more thing, I just did the oneclickroot method and it says that I now have perm root. I thought the one click was just a temp root. So I factory reset and still had root. Got the tether up and running now I just need to figure out how to install a recovery so I can flash roms.

That's interesting...
Anyways about recovery. Did you try pushing the recovery.img with adb commands? In fastboot?
Sent From My Optimized Blasting 4GLTE ReZound
Yes definately do it from fastboot. I just makes things to much easier.
Also I would apply the OTA before you get to far into the setup process as it will require you to relock your phone to get the new radios from Verizon.

I did relock my phone "fastboot oem lock" from fastboot...it verified that it was "relocked" at the top. Then I tried to boot up the phone and checked for new updates and it searched for about 20 seconds and then just dissapeared and did nothing, just like when it was unlocked. I'm nervous to do anything to this thing now, i tried to restore a backup of apps that I had backed up from my Droid X, and it stuck at the boot logo, I've had to factory reset a handful of times already trying to figure this thing out. I just spent 2 hours re downloading all the apps I had. I suppose I would make a new backup before I try anything else.
Ok first of all you should never do a restore from a phone other than the one you are restoring to, that is just asking for problems.
Next, google RUU_Vigor.
You want the 2.01 version. This will give you the update and wipe your phone clean as if you had just taken it out of the box, meaning it will delete all your data.
After it is complete you can download the Amon Ra img file. Place that in the same directory that adb and fastboot are in. Rename it to Amon_Ra.img. Get your command line to the folder that you have fastboot in and then type this command, "fastboot flash recovery Amon_Ra.img" (without the quotes)
You now have the update and Amon Ra loaded on your phone. Boot into recovery and install su from the developer menu and boom you are done. Phone rooted.

Ok, awesome. This sounds doable except installing the RUU, I found the file and its downloading now but how do I install it? I notice it's a zip file but do I extract it and install the contents of it via fastboot as well? Or is there a way to flash zips with the stock recovery menu? Also, I am guessing a backup would be wise before this and the current version of Amon Ra is 3.14, the one titled "recovery-ra-vigor-3.14-gnm.img" . Just rename it to Amon_Ra.img, place it in platform-tools of my SDK files and install via fastboot?
Also, isn't there a newer RUU? A leaked 3.10.605.13? I have seen that ROMs are based off it but I cannot find the actual file anywhere...
No. The RUU is for official releases only. If you're getting the PHzip file of it then just put it on your ext sd card and it will run in bootloader. Just boot the phone and it will find it. Then make sure to delete that file when it's done so your phone won't find it every time you boot.
If you download the exe file then you run it on your PC by double clicking on it and will need HTC.sync installed.
As to Amon Ra, personally I don't like to rename files I've downloaded from a dev so they don't get lost and disorganized. It's up to you, but you don't have to rename it to flash it, just type the name it has exactly. People rename it for easier typing I guess so if you do that I would suggest at least keeping the version number in the name.
Then after you flash Amon Ra, navigate to its developer menu and install su and then you'll be rooted.

Ok, so I factory reset my device after making a backup with mybackuppro, relocked my device and placed the 3.54mb PHzip from scottsroms website onto the root of my SD card, booted up into bootloader, it checked the file and then nothing. Rebooted the phone and checked the software version, nothing changed. I dont see how something so simple is so frustrating.....I could try to download the larger file thats like 449mb but its titled "Stock Rooted ROM - Vigor - WWE 2.01.605.11.zip" from scottsroms website and its not a PHzip. Should I rename it PH98IMG.zip? then try that?

If you really want to start fresh you need to grab the RUU. That is the official release from HTC and will put you completely back to stock. Get it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22045045&postcount=58
I recommend going the RUU route to be certain you get your phone wiped clean. When I ran it for a fresh start it got rid of old folders/files that flashing a ROM did not. Here's some instructions I posted for someone before:
5) Download the RUU for your mainver to your computer.
This is an exe file so just run it on your pc with your phone attached. You need to be locked and you need HTC Sync installed. Now you are back to stock.
5a) Unlock your phone again using the same unlock bin file you got before by putting it in the same folder you are now using for sdk. Type the following command:
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
If you don't have it obtain a new one by following the same steps you did before to get it originally. Here is a guide for that:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20780879&postcount=1
Now you should be stock and unlocked.
6) Flash Amon Ra in fastboot. Get the lateset version, 3.14.
Type the following command to flash it:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-ra-vigor-3.14-gnm.img
Now you should have Amon Ra on your phone.
7) Root your phone by installing su using Amon Ra. Go to the developer menu and find the option in there.
Now you should be stock, unlocked and rooted.
8) MAKE A NANDROID BACK UP NOW AND LABEL IT.
9) Flash a new ROM.
If you use that Stock Rooted ROM, just place it on your ext sd card, then go into Amon Ra and navigate to "flash from zip file" or something like that and select that and it will flash in recovery. Mostly kernels are renamed PHzip and will flash in hboot.

That smaller file you downloaded was most likely just a kernel.

Ok, now I see. I think I had to install an older version of Amon Ra since my software version was older. I succesfully installed Amon Ra 3.10 and installed su and superuser, now I see that I can just flash zips from the menu much like CWM recovery on my Droid X. Now I just have to figure out why my f&%!ing router keeps dropping to local only every 5 minutes, it won't stay connected long enough for me to download an RUU file that size...
So if I flash the zip from scottsroms website do I have to put the kernel on the memory card as well so that it flashes correctly? Thats assuming that the PHzip file is the kernel
Do you have a link or know where I could find an all in one zip file so i dont have to mess around with seperate kernels...a zip that i could flash that has the basebands and everything, i would use the RUU that you posted a link to but its an exe and im not sure what to do with that...
Yes, you need to flash the kernel separately for that.
There is a thread for another stock ota ROM by con247. He has the update packed into it so it will flash the ROM then take you to hboot to flash the update. You need to lock your phone before flashing the update to get the new radios.
So...
Put ROM on sd card
Flash in recovery
When you get to bootloader put phone in fastboot and connect to PC
Relock phone
Flash PHzip in hboot
Unlock phone
Flash Amon Ra if needed (can't recall if you'll have stock recovery now or not)
Install su
The RUU is really easy. Just download it to your computer and double click on it. just have phone locked and HTC sync installed.

I think I may be slightly confused. The RUU is the update right? I just want the most current OTA update with the latest basebands and any bugs that were worked out in the January OTA...Once i'm updated I want to flash a ROM, or do I not need to update in order to flash ROMs? I wanted to check out the newest cleanrom but it says its based off of a leaked software version so idk really where to begin with that one...
The RUU is the complete ROM/kernel/recovery with updates, as long as you get the 2.x one. It will get you stock updated with a factory fresh phone.
You can also get stock with the update from the con237 Stock OTA ROM, which is different than the RUU at that link that con247 also posted.
You do need to update if you want the latest radios.
Are you downloading to your computer? Perhaps you can download to your phone using 4g? Or 3g if you don't get 4g where you are.

So I tried to run that RUU exe with my phone plugged in although my PC would not pick up my device and an installshield popped up and looked like it was loading something, but then it dissappeared and nothing happened. So I uninstalled the HTC drivers along with HTC sync and then reinstalled them. My device was then recognized by the computer but something calle TL-bootstrap wanted to install. I just ignored it. So with the phone plugged in I tried to run the RUU exe again and the same thing happened, nothing...

[Q] rezound wont start after flashing roms

Hi everyone, so this is my first post here so please deal with me. I did check for similar problems with no results and think I'm posting in the right area. So try not to get too frustrated with me if I'm wrong. Anyway, with all of that out of the way on to my problem.
I have a rooted rezound, which was first rooted to get rid of bloatware and such, but I decided I wanted to try out some different roms. My problem is every time I flash a rom, which appears successful, but whenever it boots up it'll freeze up on the HTC screen. To fix this I've been just been pulling the battery and restoring to the backup I made before trying to flash roms. I would really like to try some different roms but I've gotten stuck on that screen with each one I've tried. If anyone could help me I'd greatly appreciate it!
Some additional info: I use to have a rooted thunderbolt and have some experience with flashing roms and all that stuff, but I'd still consider myself a noob. I have Amon Ra Recovery on my rezound and the screen in hboot reads:
***Unlocked***
vigor put ship s-on rl
HBOOT-2.11.0000
eMMC-boot
Oct 6 2011, 15:43:22
(I'm not sure why it says the incorrect date and time?)
I've tried several different things to successfully flash roms. I've tried flashing them with and without PH98IMG.zip on the root of my sd. I've tired it with and without the back on my phone. When flashing roms I ALWAYS wiped all data before flashing. That's just about everything relevant I can think of, sorry for the length! I figured the more information the easier for you guys to help!
If you're S-ON, you need to flash the P98IMG zip with the ROM. This contains the boot.img file.
Just extract the ROM of choice, take the P98IMG zip, throw it on your SD card and boot into your bootloader. Go into the bootloader menu and it'll install. Reboot, phone will work just fine.
If there isn't a P98IMG file and just a boot.img file, just push it through ADB while in your fastboot.
command is fastboot flash boot boot.img
So the P98IMG.zip file I downloaded and had on the root of my sd card is different than the one I need to extract from the rom or was I just not installing it right?
I did have a P98IMG.zip on the root of my sd card and I went into hboot, then I went to recovery and flashed my rom. Is there another step I need to take in installing the P98IMG.zip or should it automatically install? Do I need to reboot it between installing the P98IMG.zip and the rom?
Thanks for you help and quick response! I'm really trying to learn and get better at this stuff
After you flash your ROM, go into your bootloader (fully, must be in the bootloader menu) and it'll install. Follow the onscreen instructions, reboot, and remove the zip from your SD card.
Hope that helps.
I still cant get it to work :/
Heres step by step what I did:
1) Went into hboot > recovery
2) Wiped all data
3) Flashed ROM
4) Powered off phone using option in the recovery menu
5) Powered back on into hboot. The green text appeared that said loading and stuff about P98IMG and a blue bar on the side, but this process was very brief (maybe 2 seconds tops) and there were no instructions to follow
6) Went into recovery and rebooted my phone where I was stuck on the the HTC screen again
Can you point out where I'm going wrong or any possible issue?
Thanks again for you patience! I really appreciate your help!

How are you getting to recovery? It should give you an option to install update or reboot in hboot. If the ph98img is in the right spot you shouldn't be able to boot into recovery
With my phone powered off I'm holding down the power button and down volume button to get to hboot. I have my ROM and the PH98IMG.zip file both on the root of my SD card. It does very quickly appear to load the PH98IMG file but returns to the hboot screen the has the options: fastboot, recovery, factory reset, clear storage, sim lock, image crc.
Could it be that the PH98IMG file should be somewhere else? And was I doing everything in the correct order or do I install the PH98IMG first?
File may be bad. Do you have adb set up?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
Well actually I'm running off a mac and I've been using my sisters laptop for adb and that stuff but she just broke it...just my luck haha. Would I be able to download a different copy of PH98IMG from online and try that?
What ph file are you trying to flash? It should load it and ask if you want to update. Try downloading it again. May be a bad download
I'm trying to flash the Senseless-4.0.3-ICS-v1.0.0[2/4/2012] ROM (http://themikmik.com/showthread.php?11238-Senseless-4-0-3-ICS-v1-0-0-2-4-2012&p=178493#post178493) and I just saw a download for the PH98IMG file somewhere else on the website. Should the ROM include its own PH98IMG file? Thanks for both of your help! I have no experience with the PH files because my thunderbolt was s-off so i never dealt with this stuff before.

So s-off. Seriously though. You flashed a random ph file and thought it would work? It has to be the right one for the rom. Besides that rom isn't maintained anymore
The only method to get the rezound to s-off was using some wire trick and seemed like a difficult process. Would you recommend I do that?
And the post with the ROM said and ICS PH file would be fine, so I assumed it'd work. I guess I'll try a different ROM that includes a specific PH file and up to date. In which case I should be able to get everything to work with all the help from you and Chyrux. Thanks for everything!

I would recommend getting s-off. It's going to be the only method for this phone. I mean why waste another exploit to be patched? I would recommend con rom since it uses aroma to detect whether your s-on or s-off
Did you s-off your rezound? How were your experiences with it? I'm just worried about bricking my phone. But thanks for the ROM recommendation! I've been trying to find a good ROM
S-off was fairly easy, but you do need Windows or a Linux build.

Lot's of dumb on my part, but any help would be great!

Okay, I'm pretty sure that the guys at the other forum site gave up on me. Starting to think that I'm stuck with a paperweight that illuminates a white HTC Screen. I've searched every forum and have had no luck, but here goes:
- I'm on day four of intense troubleshooting. Apparently I'm the only person to ever root a HTC Rezound and then flash a new rom using Rom Manager (first mistake).
-I flashed a new ICS Rom using Rom Manager. I did do a backup using Rom Manager and wiped all of the caches before doing the flash. There was no problem with the install, but once I rebooted, the HTC Screen was my only accomplishment. In addition to that, the CWM Recovery Tool did NOTHING.
After reading and reading, I finally realized that only idiots like myself would still be using Rom Manager over Aman-Ra. Therefore, I installed Aman-Ra via fastboot and flashed a few other roms trying to get past the HTC screen... All of this was without any success.
I was told in a forum by someone much smarter than myself that "the easiest way back to a working phone would be to simply install a new rom like: [ROM 7/11 CONROMV5][4.0.3OTA Sense3.6+DeSense][DeBloated Root Aroma Tweaks][CDMA/GSM]." I was next told that "Conrom will deposit the PH98IMG.zip file on the sd card." This never happened.
SO, Here's where I'm ending up:
It does not boot me into Fastboot after ROM install. Instead, It gives me a "Next" button at the bottom with a log that states:
--
-Checking Model ID
-Success!
Model ID - HTC Rezound (Vigor)
-Ok to proceed
Welcome to CONROM V4!!
Installing...
Sense Selected
Sense Extracted
Face Unlock REMOVE Selected
Face Unlock NOT Extracted

read_file() loading "/tmp/initrd.img" failed: No such file or directory
When I click "Next" I get another screen that says:
"Congratulations... CON ROM 4.0 has been installed successfully. Press Finish, and reboot your phone. If S-ON was detected, please reboot to bootloader to flash the boot image. Thanks.
It then goes into the regular reboot process. I do a battery pull, press power+vol down and go back into HBOOT, it runs through it's IMG Check and there's nothing there. I then created a PH98IMG.zip file from the boot image inside the rom's zipped folder. Tried flashing that, and I'm still looking at the HTC Screen.
I've gotten myself into tight jams before, but been able to figure it out... I'm just at the end of my rope here. Someone with more intelligence than myself please tell me what to do to get past this and I promise to never assume that flashing a rom to a Rezound is as easy as it was with my Thunderbolt.
Thanks to whomever takes pitty on me, in advance. (seriously, Thank you)
Start over with a stock RUU zip, renamed to PH98IMG.ZIP. Put it on the SD Card. let er run?
You say you can get to HBOOT?
the only thing that generally fixes huge problems like these are to run the FULL RUU (AKA pull a complete stock rom and rename it PH98IMG.zip, enter HBOOT and let it run TWICE!!) and let it reinstall EVERYTHING (including the radios and such.) Then go into the stock recovery, do a full restore.
Then unlock your boot loader and install Amon-Ra, root and flash a rom correctly
{Full RUU here http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...id-4-0-build-3-11-605-22-for-the-htc-rezound/
^ I don't think it is the most recent version, but it should do as long as it is GREATER than the leak you are already on}
Don't try this solution until someone else gives a thumbs up... I don't want to be the one who causes more harm to your phone hahahaha
EDIT: Changed it to PH98IMG, my bad! Should have proof read my post one more time.. Thanks Paulhoop for catching that!
Well he was more complete in his intstructions, but we are recommending the same thing.
However, just want to correct the typo above. PH98IMG... Not PH89IMG
Also not sure about the stock recovery, full restore. But I would let the stock RUU setup run once before going to AmonRa

You have to lock the bootloader first if you want to run the RUU.
First off...you said s-on..
Do you now what firmware you are on? Ginberbread or ICS? If you are on GB you should have installed a SD Card patch as part of your ROM flashing process. If you didn't, that is part of your problem. What happens when you try to flash the boot.img? Do you do it through fastboot? or PH98img file? It sounds like the boot.img is not flashed correctly.

Ok. First off, wow, what an awesome response. I had rooted the phone through fastboot, but was still on the stock GB. I didn't know about the SD Card Patch. When I try to flash the boot.img, I did that by extracting the boot.img from the rom folder, renaming to PH98.img, and running that through the HBOOT Process (I didn't try it with fastboot). The file would update, begin the "parsing' process, and then stop and go back to the basic HBOOT screen. What would be the correct way to flash the boot.img file? What patch should I have installed relating to the SD Card, and is it too late for that?

The boot file should be named ph98img.zip CHECK your named file (PH98.img???), the computer should put the .zip on it. Just be sure its not named ph93img.zip.zip!
The other way, if you're comfy with fastboot commands is to put the boot.img in the same directory as fastboot and type "fastboot boot boot.img" . No its not too late to do the SD Card Patch. You can get it here (among other places), I believe its the 'Old Firmware patch" http://www.androidfilehost.com/main/-Support_Files-/SuperChilPil/ . JUst flash in recovery.
The info for your ROM says that the installer would identify the need for the SD card patch, so maybe it did install it? Won't hurt to do it yourself though. Did you consider a more 'basic' ICS rom, like CLeanRom4.5 or the new rooted 3.14.605.12 one?
I'm on Newt's One xXx, ICS sense 4 rom myself.

HB 1.5 Unlocked S-On, can't flash any ROM.

Okay, here's the problem.
I have an EVO 3D
Hboot 1.50 S-On
HTC Dev method unlocked,
TWRP Recovery.
I'm currently runing a GB Rom, Warm Two Point Three, Its awesome, the best GB rom for me.
But its time to move on to ICS, the fact is that every time i try to flash an ICS Rom, I get in a Bootloop. It shows the boot animation, and it starts for like 4 seconds it shows the wallpaper and the notification bar, and it f*cking boots again and again.
I tried basic wipes, superwipes, modifiedsuperwipes.
I also tried to go back to stock 2.17 Rom, and walk it all along rooting and trying to flash an ICS Rom, but the RUU 2.17 failed every time, and it doesnt give a damn reason.
I even tried to update to Hboot 1.58, but didnt worked, in the bootloader, it detects the .zip file, and analize it, but it doesnt prompt for instalation, it just skip it and go to the normal bootloader screen.
I think its a problem just with this Evo, I flashed the ICSMeanROM to 3 Evos 3D, my wife, my brother, and a friend, and everyone worked very well.
So, im just able to flash my GB Warm two point three rom, and thats the only one that works i think.
Im not a total noob, i just have been a few moths out of the 3VO field.
Any ideas?
Thank you guys
ICS tends to bootloop for people who are s-on. Get s-off using the wire trick, flash an ICS custom ROM and your all set.

Okay, I think I dont have anywere else to run, I'm going to prepare my stuff.
Thank you dude
Just go to 100% stock, take the OTA and unlock it again.
When I chose to do S-off, it was the best thing to do. If you need any help let me know im sure i can find the links again for it

Try the following steps,
1. go to recovery > wipe & factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, go to mounts and storage, wipe system, data, cache, sd card... everything u can find there... wipe all..
2. in recovery DO NOT REBOOT, turn off phone
3. go to android development of evo 3d gsm, find a rom, for example mikrunny 1.06, open the archive extract the boot.img from the kernel folder.
4. assuming u have android sdk installed on ur computer, make a new folder and from the android sdk tools copy adb.exe, fastboot.exe, adbwinapi.dll (exact same files u used to unlock bootloader). also in this folder put that boot.img you extracted from the rom
5. put that folder in C:\
6. get back to phone , still DO NOT BOOT UP YET, and power up phone in bootloader mode (vol down & power) and go to fastboot
7. connect phone to pc in fastboot usb mode
8. open command prompt, type cd c:\"folder" ("folder" = folder u created with the sdk tools)
9. type in cmd: fastboot flash boot boot.img
10. after it's completed, go to recovery, still do not boot up phone
11. in recovery go to mounts and storage, usb storage and now copy the whole rom and nothing but the rom on the sd card
12. install zip from sdcard, select rom and let it install, it should boot up automatically
steps were given by SeptimiuB, I am just replying to your query because I've gone through the same mess and recovered as well.
Just be sure to unlock your bootloader and install a recovery before trying the above steps.
Cheers.
