are you running leak ics rom or ics custom rom?
i came back to stock from senseless ics.
what i did was
first, went back to stock rooted by flashing stock kernel and stock rooted rom.
then flashed stock recovery then re-locked the bootloader
then finally flashed ruu.zip from fastboot (1.02.605.6).
stock kernel: team bamf's unsecured stock
stock rooted rom: http://www.scottsroms.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=55
stock recovery: http://db.tt/tw5m33ZG
re-lock bootloader: fastboot oem lock
ruu.zip: http://www.scottsroms.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=38
or ruu.exe: http://www.scottsroms.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=37
I currently have the CleanRom ICSE 2.3, and would like to go back to the rooted stock rom, will this guide work for me...
thanks guys... im not re locking bootloader since what i really wanted was getting back to gb from ics.. and that guide up here worked... thanks
im running a gb rom now it boots and all work good but i cant still upgrade kernels.. i did everything with the exception of locking bootloader.. when trying to upgrade kernel keeps telling me main version is older?
UPDATE
the only way i can upgrade kernels is by pushing them using adb ..at least it works that way

not sure, but i doubt it will work
since mainver has been updated.
u can still try though.
if it doesn't work, u just need to re-flash
the kernel and the rom i think.

There is lots of concern about kernels and flashing them with various main versions. There are 3 basic main versions floating around:
Shipped Rezound - Main Version = 1.02.605.6
OTA Rezound - Main Version = 2.01.605.11
Leaked RUU for Android 4.0.3 - Main Version = 3.10.605.7
I am not going to mess with the leaked RUU for 4.0.3 but I can help with the other two. So, all of the following can be flashed in recovery and will install the library then reboot to bootloader to install the boot.img.
This will at least help you install a complete kernel for whatever situation you are in to cure things like WiFi broken.
Choose the one that best fits your situation, copy it to your SD Card, reboot to recovery and choose the Install Zip option. When it reboots to bootloader press power to start and then follow the instructions.
Currently running a Gingerbread ROM before installing the OTA:
Main Version = 1.02.605.6
Currently running a ICS ROM before installing the OTA:
Main Version = 1.02.605.6
Currently running a Gingerbread ROM after installing the OTA:
Main Version = 2.01.605.11
Currently running a ICS ROM after installing the OTA:
Main Version = 2.01.605.11
NOTE: You must be HTC UnLocked
If you are running the stock OTA stick with that kernel
By the way,
The GB kernel is the unlocked kernel for ADB when phone is active.
The ICS kernel is the one for ICS 4.0.1
thanks for writing this up Nils, I think it will save alot of problems and questions arising from flashing different roms !

I assume your at the 3.x main version then. I can get you to the stock kernel but can't change the main version with this approach. You could try the gb kernel from the released version and see if you get the mainver failure. If you do you can use the manual approach to get to mainver back to 1.02.605.6
I'm currently on rooted stock shipped Rezound, no OTA. I'm having trouble flashing back to CleanICS, ineffibilis ICS and ineffibilis Gb roms. I was previously on CleanICS. Then decided i wanted to go back to a Gb ROM. So what I did was flash a GB boot.img then I tried to flash ineffibilis Gb, but then the installation gets aborted in recovey. I was able to restore my stock rooted GB ROM though.
I tried to flash your kernel for "stock Gb Rezound, before OTA", but I'm also getting a Mainver failure.
What do I need to do to Be able to flash ineffibilis GB ROM? I'm currently on Gb stock no OTA. Shouldn't I be able to flash other Gb roms without worrying about mainver?
Will the "curently running ICS before OTA" also install the new firmware?

In my case, I was on stock with OTA 2.01.605.11, and am installing Senseless 2.1 ICS. By your terminology, would I go with "running an ICS ROM after installing OTA", or stick to the stock kernel per the final bold statement?

If your going to the ICS ROM you need to flash the ICS kernel.
The last statement simply means if you are running the OTA don't bother with any other kernels.
Gotcha. Thanks Nils
So to go from your ICS back to a stock rooted nandroid restore what would be needed? The main version thing is confusing.

To go back to stock from my ICS ROM as long as you have not installed the OTA just requires running the stock RUU. You should not have to relock or anything since you still have the stock radio and hboot.
Now if you installed the OTA that is another story and there is a whole thread about that.
Part of my reason for starting this thread was to help others with main version problems.
The second reason was to help myself and other developers determine when we could safely cut our ROM's over to the OTA main version even if we did not use the new OTA kernel.
The downloads for these kernels, even after just 1 day, clearly indicates that most people have either accepted the OTA or installed the OTA ROM on their own. In other words, most of the downloads are for the versions that are based on the OTA main version to be installed on custom ROM's that use the old main version kernels.
I will watch the downloads for a few more days then decide what to do with my ROMs

Do the nand restore and flash the GB kernel with old main version.
Nils,
Just wanted to clarify one thing. I relocked, flashed original ruu, accepted ota, unlocked again and rooted. still using this rom which is essentially bone stock rooted. If I flash CR based off latest ota and later decided to restore nandroid of the bone stock, do I flash this kernel as well?
Currently running a Gingerbread ROM after installing the OTA:
Main Version = 2.01.605.11
my apologies for the question but I wondered in the case you are restoring a nandroid, do you need to also flash the kernel before restoring the nandroid. Hope I made myself clear. lol.
lets just start with im a super noob...... now to the point i flashed rezrom 4.0.3 3.11.xxxx which i know is ics but ive only used the old firmware patch my bandbase is .095xxxxxx and my hboot is 2.11. 0000..... so if im understanding correctly im still on gb firmware right......but when i tried to flash a gb rom it starts up to the htc screen flicks once then dims then goes to blank screen ive factory rest numerous times before installing any rom........any help would be greatly appreciated thanks
Make sure you flash the boot.img (kernel) that belongs to the rom you are flashing.

If you are s-on, you have to make sure the kernel/boot.img is flashed after you flash the ROM. If you are trying to flash an RUU, you have to be locked.
Also, if you are on ICS firmware and trying to run a GB ROM, you'll need to flash the newfirmware patch. http://www.androidfilehost.com/main/-Support_Files-/SuperChilPil/
Firstly.. I'll admit that I didn't read as throughly as I probably should have.. I have rooted several phones with the first being the original Motorola Droid and then a couple others.. All fairly tricky but for the most part no big deal... Anyway, I had no idea what S-ON or S-OFF meant nor was it very easy to find information such as this explained in detail..
Anyway, here is where I'm at..
1. Running S-ON, ICS w/ Slim 1.6
2. Phone has a tendency to reboot when it feels like it.. hasn't been too bad but seems to happen more when it's on 4G
3. Phone will NOT allow me to mount the internal storage nor the sd card when I plug into a computer.. like I mean it's not even an option, all I get are charge and internet tethering options..
4. the BIGGEST issue.. I can not tether whatsoever.. I've tried several apps such as Barnacle & PDAnet but none of which work.. I'm sorry I'm just used to the days of my incredible where it was very easy to tether and install ROM's all day long so I guess I was spoiled..
Any help would be appreciated.. the more I read though the more that S-OFF will offer and am I correct to have read that if I do the S-OFF I can turn my phone back to a "locked" status in the boot loader and in turn can also put back to completely stock??
Thanks!

So after checking into some things I tried going a different route..
I downloaded Nils' Business ICS 4.0.3 Sense 3.6 (ICS Latest) (Aroma Installer).. followed the instructions.. installed with S-ON etc.. everything seemed fine.. NOW it won't stop rebooting after I configured Gmail & my work E-mail.. I can't boot into the bootloader menu unless I remove the SD card because it tries to flash the PH98IMG.zip as soon as it loads..
SO what to do next?? HBOOT I have the following information

HBOOT-2.11.0000
Radio-0.95.00.1118r/0.95.0.1223r

HELP please!!
.make sure you install the kernel and the gb firmware patch...these 2 things missing will cause bootloops .
If you have issues ask in Nils thread and I am sure he will help you out. I have been s off and on ics firmware for awhile prior to the aroma install method. Otherwise I could help you out more
Edit: you will want to select the first 3 boxes on the aroma install screen...Rom...kernel...gb firmware patch
Not sure how the installer works after that...but that's a start.
Edit2: you are currently on gb firmware, in the future if you run a gb Rom you will need to flash the gb kernel for the Rom. Any ics based rims will require the ics kernel AND the firmware patch. Without the firmware patch your sd card won't show up properly. The wrong kernel will end up in boot loops. Hope this helps explain things a bit.

Thank you very much for the help... I really thought I was on ICS firmware.. I know this sounds stupid but isn't Android version 4.0.3 ICS??
OH WAIT it just hit me.. So my ROM is 4.0.3 but the kernel is still GB.. I gotcha.. so of course my next question is.. can I upgrade to ICS firmware without S-OFF or is that a requirement???
I think what I'll end up doing is just flashing GB ROM but curious what would be needed to get to ICS firmware and can I get back again?
You can upgrade to ics firmware (via ics ruu). However with s on, you can only run the ruu you are currently on and/or newer versions/leaks. With s off you can run any ruu you like.
Basically you never ran an ics ruu, so your firmware is gingerbread. You can run either gb or ics. With a gingerbread Rom, you would flash Rom and kernel. With ics Roms, you'll need to flash Rom, kernel, and firmware patch.
If you decide to upgrade and run a ics ruu it will upgrade your hboot, radios, and change the mount point for the sd card. The mount point change is the reason for the firmware patch. After running an ics ruu you will have ics firmware. Running a ics Rom, you'll flash Rom and kernel. If you change mind and want to go to a gb Rom, you'll need Rom, kernel, and firmware patch.
So depending on which version or way you go depends on the method of flashing a Rom. Firmware is independent of roms, and the only easy way to change firmware is via a RUU.
Supposedly the ota is coming soon, supposedly the latest leak is the ota, supposedly the s off exploit will not be able to be patched.
I decided to s off...there's many threads with lots of info...so if you decide to go that route take time, read, and read some more. It's not too hard just take your time and don't get frustrated.
Once s off, most roms flash the kernels automatically, saving you a step. You can also run any ruu you want. Ruu is like a factory image that wipes the phone and upgrades radio, etc....basically it will be like you first got the phone and turned it on.
Everyone has different experiences with radios, some are betterfor some, others worse. Overall the new ics firmware seems to be better on battery and network speed for me at least.
There's many ways to proceed....however most roms that are being worked are ics based...and will be more so when the official ics ota hits.

ICS is the way to go, and for it to run properly you should run the latest RUU leak. This will give you the correct firmware. Once you flash the recovery of your choice back onto your phone and re-root, you really should S-off. Amon-Ra is the best initial Recovery choice, because it'll root anything, right there in recovery. S-off simplifies EVERYTHING. From there, you can flash the ICS Rom of your choice, and not have any of the issues you've been reporting.
With S-off, you can flash whatever radio you want, put a different boot-up splash screen on, and the kernel installs automatically when you flash a Rom.
It's a little time consuming, but it isn't difficult. There are threads from some very helpful guys here that explain how to do everything. So when you have some time, I suggest you just go for it. You'll be glad you did.
Best of luck,
BBEgo

I'm still a little leary on doing the S-OFF so I have a question on this.. What do you mean by this?? What has to match to be able to run ICS ROM's.. Are you saying the ICS Firmware version needs to match the ICS ROM?
I installed [ROM][Unofficial-AOKP] and while its nice some of the nuisances are frustrating. My previous phone was a DroidX so I could always just SBF back to stock no problems. But I am curious is there a way to go back to the an official ICS release by loading the PH98IMG.zip or whatever? I thought I heard once you went to an unofficial OTA you could never go back to pure stock if you were S-ON and I am okay with that I just want to get back to the last updated ICS that was available.
If I can just load the .zip what is the correct version and can someone point me to the download? Thanks.
You can go back to stock. You have to relock your bootloader by running "fastboot oem lock" from fastboot, and then reflash the stock RUU.
If you never updated past the Verizon OTA, you can get the 3.14.605.12 file from this site, rename it to PH98IMG.zip on your external SD, relock, and flash.

Cool, thanks.
You didn't make a nandroid backup of your existing rom before you installed a new rom? You should start if you didn't, that way if you installed a rom you end up not liking, you can just restore your previous one without needing to re-set up your phone all over again.
Stay root and flash Neo's simplistic 3.0 rom. It is a debloated version of the stock rom. It's not as smooth as jellybean but is about as stable as you can get.

So I found this thread and I haven't been to JellyBean on my Rezound yet. Currently running Hawks latest EclipticRez and Snuzzo's latest Kernel which is dope.
1) Can I just make a full Nandroid of my current rom, then flash Neo's Inception 2.5 to try out jellybean?
2) If I want to go back to ICS Sense, can I just restore my nandroid?
It seems that simple, but I dont want a brick and wanted to confirm that I can go back to ICS.
Thank you.

As long as you are S-OFF yes.
If you are S-on you'll have to reflash the boot.img of the ROM you started from/restore back to.

First to clarify, i have an "unbranded" (asian) HTC Amaze (which is also known as HTC RUBY).
I'm on stock ROM 2.3.4 and it is un-updatable officially.
So... I unlocked my bootloader, then i installed 4EXT recovery, then i S-OFFed my device (which somehow locked my recovery again), then i rooted it.
Now, when i flash a custom rom (Cyanogenmod JB 4.1.2 official), it gets stuck on the boot screen (the rotating cyanogenmod logo).
I have backed up my rom in the recovery, so i can restore it and get back to where i was.
Basically i want to know what I'm doing wrong or if I've missed an step.
I haven't Super-CID it yet, is it really necessary? And i also can't seem to update my hboot, but isn't 4ext supposed to do that for me?
You forgot to install the ICS firmware. You can't install an ICS ROM while on Gingerbread. You need to first upgrade to ICS, then you may start flashing ROMS.

Oh... So according to the article, i just download that ROM, rename it to PH85IMG.zip and flash it via bootloader.
After that i should be able to install any ROM i want right? Including the Cyanogenmod JB 4.1.2 one?

Oh and just to update, I've also updated my bootloader to the latest 1.93.2222 one. Working all fine.
I've also run the SuperCID batch script, and it seemed to work, but It isn't showing any CID status on my bootloader. Maybe it will once i flash the ICS ROM on it.
HURRAY! It worked. I'm using the T-Mobile ICS ROM right now without any issues. I think I'm going to stick with this for a while before i try the Cyanogenmod 4.1.2 one.
Thanks a lot Afnan dude, your one short reply was enough to solve my issue. Haha
