Ok so here is my story. I flashed CleanROM ICSE 3.5 along with the kernel. Had issues so want to flash back to CleanROM GBE 1.7.5. So it flashed in recovery and I flashed the kernel in HBoot just like I've been doing, but the phone wouldn't boot all the way. It would hang at the final stage of the boot animation. So some were I found a thread about not being able to boot up after flashing ICS ROM. It had a boot.img to flash, well I flashed it and the phone booted right up YAY! Problem solved right? Well not exactly. Now I can't flash any kernels. When I flash the kernel in HBoot it looks like it works but it doesn't flash. I go back to about in the phone and it still has the HTC kernel. Anyone know thats up? Do I need to relock and flash the RUU then unlock again or something? Any help would be a bonus. Thanks guys.
Here is the thread I used to get the phone to boot again after ICS:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1486220
I only did step 5 and pushed the boot.img.
Go to the development section and use the cleanflash tool.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416791
Thanks that sorta helps but how do I get back to being able to flash PH98IMG in hboot? Plus most of the kernels are now zImages, no boot.img.
Edit:
Ok that seems to have worked. What I did was use the above tool and flashed "[Kernel]Unsecured, OverClocked, SmartAssV2, and Voltage Control[New Links 01.27.12]" once that was complete I was able to go back and flash the PH98IMG.zip like I was doing before. Thanks guy..
That is extremely strange but there is no reason you should need to re-lock in order to flash a kernel.
I think there may be a mix up in the way the kernel is being flashed (other than in fastboot). There's two ways...
1. A PH98IMG.zip that contains the kernel (boot.img) and android-info.txt. This is safe to flash in the bootloader.
2. A kernel which uses a script needs a .zip to first be flashed in recovery which then places a PH98IMG.zip on your sdcard. After the .zip is flashed in recovery, the script reboots the phone to bootloader where the PH98IMG.zip is flashed.
Notice these are two ways to achieve the same thing and this could possbily be the mix up. Also, be careful about leaving the PH files on your sdcard because they can ruin your day if you try to reboot into bootloader because the phone will keep trying to update.
I hope this helps clear things up a bit.

Thanks ya i've been flashing them right along with PH98IMG.zips. Then for some reason it just wouldn't flash, no matter how many i tried. Using the CleanFLASH seems to have cleared it up. In other words using flastboot flash boot boot.img would have gotten the job done.

Sounds like you need to flash the ph "patch" file to use ics Rom. Your still on a gb ruu.
I would suggest reading up on how to s-off
Then upgrade to the latest RUU. there are tons of post in the first link of this forum
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
Wrong section, please post threads like this in the Rezound Q&A section.
You need to flash the GB kernel either as a PH98IMG.zip in the bootloader or flash the boot.img with fastboot. Because your phone is s-on, recovery can't restore the kernel on it's own. Once you have it fixed, I would also recommend you use Amon Ra for recovery, not CWM.
Wrong section, but it appears that you may need to fast boot the boot.img for the gb rom you are trying to run, if you have not tried this already.
What mjones said lol... beat me to it
as i remember i tried to flash stock 2.3 ROM with it came PH98IMG.zip, but when i tried to flash it after rom it say older version or something like that.
i know that i am on wrong place and excuse me for that one more time but i am really in deep **** because i own money to person i need to fix it soon please guys can u provide me with right things, like give me a link how to s-off wothout turning on phone, and give me the right PH98IMG.zip and stock rom. Please guys i know that it is very hard but i am really in bad situation :
Flash this zip in recovery and then try to flash the PH98IMG from bootloader afterwards....The zip i posted should now allow you to do so.
I also suggest doing more research and reading up on things before attempting them on a device you are unfamiliar with.

now i am trying to update my phone with this 2.01.605.11 Gingerbread EXE RUU
from my pc but it finds some error.
now i will try from
PH98IMG.ZIP
i will tell what will happen.
what i find so quickly if i want to flash any rom i need to be s-off, only one way to make s-off as i saw i need some wires am i right? or is there any other way?
no other way, only one s-off method.
if i were you i would
1. Relock the bootloader.
a. boot into bootloader
b. go to fastboot
c. on pc navigate to your fastboot files in cmd line
d. type "fastboot oem lock"
2. Reset mainver
3. Run the latest leaked ics Ruu
4. Install amon ra 3.15
5. In amon ra go to developer section and install super user (regular not eng)
6. Unlock the bootloader
7. S-off the phone - http://unlimited.io
8. Flash amon ra 3.15 again
9. Reformat your sd card because it most likely got messed up from s-off
10. Install ivysaur 3.2
a. go into the pkmn tweaks and turn the boot animation sound off
b. make sure everything is fine and dandy and there you go
Look into each step further make sure you know what your doing.
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:

(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.
Yeah...I know S-off makes everything easier...but I'm stuck with S-on. I dropped my phone (while plugged in) on the charging port, jarring it to the point of no longer being able to connect it to my computer for ADB communication. I'm assuming s-off isn't possibly without a working usb connection.
So...I'm wondering how to go about flashing a custom kernel from the bootloader while being s-on and unlocked. I've attempted to pull boot.img from within a custom ROM package, rename to PH98IMG.zip, and put it on the root of my SD...but this apparently doesn't work. What do I have to do to avoid being stuck forever with my current setup (aside from abandoning the phone)?? Any advice would be appreciated!

some roms use wireless adb i.e. viperrez im not sure as to how youd go about doing this for the particular rom your running but thas is the best knowledge i have of using fastboot commands without your usb.. i think its time for a new phone bud:/
It seems to me like my solution lies in the creation of an appropriate PH98IMG.zip file to place in the root of my SD card and flash within the bootloader. I know that early Rezound ROMS would supply this file along with the main download, catering to s-on ...so it is something that can be done. I'm just wondering about the specifics of creating such a file from a boot.img file.
I'm not going to give up on the phone. I'll be able to charge via an inductive pad, its just a matter of being able to keep up-to-date kernels without ADB via USB.
i am also S-ON, and I would like to be able to just flash the kernel in the bootloader using a PH98IMG placed on the sd card. I am used to just flashing a rom in recovery, then booting to the bootloader and flashing the PH98IMG.
My newest rom, ElipticRez has a boot.img posted for S-ON users. So, i have placed the boot.img in a PH98IMG zip that i have used before, but something always seem to go wrong. Either it wont update in the bootloader, or it does update but my wifi wont work.
Any suggestions on how to get a kernel to work using a PH98IMG for S-ON users?
Flyhalf's latest TWRP build has the HTC Dumlock in it, which should allow you to flash boot.img's with S-On. Don't know the real details on it, but it's covered in the thread.

or if you dont want to risk re flashing recovery and bricking because you have no charging port, you could flash countershrike 2.2. it has built in s-on flashing. no pc required
What if the charging port works, then is there any way to apply custom kernels to ROMs?

Yes. Then you can use fastboot to flash using the following command:

What if no boot.img is provided with the kernel. Right now I want to apply snuzzo's funky kernel 1.7 to cm 10. 1.7 does not have a boot.img with it. Do I have to wait until he makes a s-on varient of 1.7 before I can apply it. Or can I take the boot.IMG from another ROM that uses 1.7?

Hi there, new to the Rezound and would like some help getting to either ICS or JB on a very stable ROM.
Currently my phone is unlocked, rooted and still s-on. (Is there a way to get s-off without using a wire?)
I am on Android 4.0.3. HTC Sense is 3.6. Other than having a rooted ROM its nothing fancy.
Ive read the forums and not doesn't make sense to me how to go from GB to either ICS or JB or Cyanogen Mod (if its available).
Any help you can provide is very much appreciated. I've read the great beginners guides on this site and its confusing to me. (sorry). I used to flash alot of different roms on my X2 and it seemed alot simpler. If it helps I have Titanium Backup, Clockwork RecoveryMod installed on my phone.
Questions are:
1. Can/Should I get s-on with still on GB? Without using a wire?
2. Which mod is most stable? I dont care for bleeding edge. Either ICS/JB/CM would be great.
3. How do I get from current GB to said mod?
Thanks in advance for the advise.
First of all, CWM doesn't play well with the Rezound. I would flash Amon Ra v3.16 instead. It's the most cooperative recovery with the Rezzy.
Immediately after getting Amon Ra on there I would make a nandroid so you always have a stock nand to go back to if you need it.
1. You are on ICS now. To get s-off you need to do the wire trick. It's not necessary to do it, you just have an extra step when you flash ROMs if you do not. I'm still s-on and it doesn't bother me a bit and I feel safer since it's easier to brick when you are s-off.
The extra step you end up with is having to flash the kernel after you flash the ROM. The ROM I'm using now puts the kernel in a PH98IMG file for you if you are s-on and then you just flash it in bootloader right after you flash the ROM, before booting up. Easy peasy.
If at some point you want to s-off you can do so, you'll just have to get back to stock to do it.
2. I recommend EclipticRez. It's great, super smooth, everything works and has great support. Download here
You can select Sense or Desensed when you flash. It will also make the kernel file for you so it's really easy if you are s-on.
3. You should be ICS if you are 4.0.3, GB is 2.x.x. Check your hboot and baseband info. Is your hboot 2.21 or 2.27? Did you just get the Rezound? New or used?
So to actually flash a ROM, first wipe - download CleanWipe from the development section, put it on your external sd card and flash the zip in recovery. Same thing for the ROM, put it on external card and flash zip in recovery. Have it on the card already when you wipe cuz you need to flash a ROM immediately after wiping.
Simplest.

This is how I do it when starting with a stock Rez.
All of this can be done with s-on.
flash 4.03.605.2 RUU
unlock
flash custom recovery, I've found Amon RA the best. Menu driven but stable.
Use Amon RA to flash the ROM of choice.
Fastboot the boot.img from the ROM of choice. This can be done before or after you flash the .zip
The phone will not boot without the correct boot.img (make sense?)
Paranthetic:
The Custom ROMS are findable. To get the "boot.img" just use Windows Explorer, right click the ROM.zip and copy the "boot.img" to the folder that "bootflash" is in and go. In my case, "C:\adb\fastboot flash boot boot.img"
Oh, a must know is DOS command line.
getting s-off is relatively riskier than just unlocking bootloader, you should follow the directions very closely. there is no other method besides the wire trick
I unlocked my rezound with htcdev site. Installed twrp recovery then I try to install any custom rom and the phone starts to boot up and stops. I tried clockwork mod and amon ra recovery and I get the same results. For example the xp sense rom gets to the beats audio logo and stops loading. I let it sit for a half hour and would not go further. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
You're still S-ON, righr? You need to boot to bootloader and flash the kernel. It's probably already on your card as a PH98IMG.ZIP file.

It's not on there, where can i find it? Thanks.
Anyone please?
Assuming you are S-ON, and assuming (further) that you flashed a ROM that has an alternative kernel flash for S-ON versus S-OFF (check the OP, it usually says whether you have to be S-OFF or not), look inside the zip file for the ROM. Sometimes the kernel is already inside as a PH98IMG.ZIP, sometimes it's "generated" during ROM flash (after which you have to reboot to hboot to flash it).
Reread the OP for your ROM and see what it recommends. If it's S-OFF only, you'll need to flash a different ROM that lets you flash if you're S-ON.
That did the trick.
