I tried flashing the new ICS leak (3.11.605.22), somewhere in the process I messed it up. I flashed the RUU then I flashed CleanROM 4.0. the ROM booted up fine, however I cannot access internal or external storage (sd card). AmonRa recovery could read my SD card. I think I need to reflash the RUU, however fastboot wont read the PH198IMG.zip off my sd card. I tried flashing the PH198IMG.zip using adb, however I keep getting an error (FAILED (remote:not allowed)) and I'm not very good with adb. Long story short I guess I need help returning my phone to stock even without using an sd card, or any other work around would be helpful.

yes, i took scotts PH off and downloaded the RUU and renamed it to PH198IMG and put that on the SD card, however the bootloader doesnt find it.
well, I feel stupid. the file was named PH198IMG.zip. I renamed it to PH98IMG.zip and it found it. go figure.

hi all..just got my rezound last week updated from droid x..loving phone so far but have a few questions..im currently on the leak ics rooted amon ra rec.and running clean rom 4.3.. my questions are..
1..when i mount the sd cards i have the internal and external sd..is it normal to have the ext sd folder in the internal sd..i tried deleting folder and comes back..the reason for my question is i was deleting apps and deleted something i shouldnt have so i booted into recovery wiped cach,dalvik,and internal so i could reflash the rom but didnt wipe data cuz wanted to keep my files i had on there..good thing cuz i did that and then my ext sd was wiped..so got back in mounted sd put rom back and just flashed in recovery but is it normal..
2..next is being im on the leaked ics..if i flash the sysver fix that resets to1.00 whatever can i then safely flas a gb rom?i know i cant do a gb ruu because of updated firmware..and if i can flash a gb rom do i keep the kernel im on or is it ok to flash whatever kernel the rom dev recommends..
3..lastly on my old dx if i screwed something up bad enough and couldnt get back into os i could sbf which would bring me back to factory settings like flashing a ruu..can this be done on the rez from a pc if i screwed up and couldnt get into rom or if the ext sd got wiped like what happend before.
thanks and sorry for long post first htc device way different from the moto..i tried searching but couldnt really answer those if someone could answer or atleast point me in the right direction id appreciate it..
1. Yes
2. Supposedly
3. Yes if you have the RUU in .exe format(some of the older ones were .exe's)

ok thank you for the info...so then internal sd will only be formatted if manually told to do so in recovery..wiping system data and cache will not touch that then correct? how about when flashing ruu as i understand it wipes internal when doing so? would it have any effect on the ruu running or it keeps that?thanks again
this is the first time ever i have posted for help like this so understand i am really lost and well i just want some friendly help i want ICS rom on my phone and have decided to upload some of these roms but after i have perm unlocked my phone and also rooted and installed ra amon how ever when i try to look for things in my sd card it shows it as unavailable and when i try to mount it it says mounting card and nothing happens....and this is happening on all these roms i am trying bottom line does anyone know what i am doing wrong here please i could really use some guidance right about now...i even tried using different SD cards and still no luck :-(
My guess is you're running the ICS roms with the older firmware on your phone, that requires installing an additional patch to mount the SD card. Go back to the instructions for installing CleanRom 4.3, flash the the patch as noted in the CleanRom folder that gets created on your SD card.
If I downloaded the patch for CleamRom 4.3 will the same patch work for all the other ICS roms?
Seams to have started just after I S-Off'd my rezound. Took me forever to initially get it working and get cleanrom back onto it, where it immediatly started to reboot randomly after a minute or two, usually under quick/hard loads, it does it every time consistently when I try to Dial or Text someone. I also tried to upgrade to the leaked RUU and rom to fix this, nothing. The stock rom I could dial, but it did reboot once on lock screen. Custom roms reboot consistently. Help?
Did you flash the leak twice?
No, I followed instructions off of theandroidsoul,com rezound ics upgrade page to the 'T' since they supplied download links.
I'd post the page directly but I haven't reached my required post count.
It's a kernel upgrade via hboot, and a shell/rom flash via recovery, so I'm not sure if your expecting a different upgrade meathod.
Which am I expected to flash twice? And what is expected to change?
Check android community site with march 16 story to download rooted version for the leak. It should just be a ph98img.zip. before you do though, have you tried wiping everything in recovery, possibly 2 or 3 consecutive wipes, and then a completely clean install of Scott's stuff again? Also, are you on amon ra?
Edit- it would be the kernel to do twice. When it prompts at bootloader to update, you pick yes and if it doesn't hit all the entries, you have to run it again.b
I flashed the rom and the kernel twice earlier, stock seams to run flawlessly, I can dial, and the phone doesn't reboot Speed Ex 3D like it did earlier, though it plays double screened, weird. Anyway, I'll try flashing some various roms to see what happens.
Good to hear.
Ran into an issue, Stock ICS isn't mounting my SD card, simply says unavailable under storage. HBoot still finds the kernel upgrade, rather annoying when I'm trying to remove it to access recovery.
The format check earlier said Ext4, I assume RUU should be able to handle that. Would be unthinkable that I'd have to flash the GB fix.
have you checked under settings--about phone--software and made sure that it says android 4.0.3? I ran into a similar (maybe same) problem when I first tried flashing the leak firmware. It didn't fully flash correctly, so the first time it said I was still on GB and it could not mount my SD, the second time I flashed the ph98img.zip it said I was on 4.0.3 but still would not mount my SD. So I flashed it once more and everything was fine after that.
What the hell... I just noticed by radio is 1.22, I flashed the leaked radio awhile after the S-Off. Kinda screwy. I removed the external SD card, got into recovery, but when I mount the internal sd to the computer, I can't edit anything. Says full up to 1200kb if i read that right.
Btw, says 4.0.3 under software
SD Card reads normally under CleanRom DE, but still crashes
BAMF Senseless v2 crashes when I try to dial too.
Wait, is it the same sd you had in it when you did the S-off procedure? If so, have you reformatted it? If this is the problem, see sindroidx's how-to in the rezound general forum. If not, it still sounds like your sd card has either been corrupted/misformatted somehow. That's for external. If it is internal SD, see graymonkey44's "S-off is Official!!!" thread. It contains the fix for both, by the way.

Definately, sounds like your SD card needs to be reformatted. Numerous posts on it , but some have had success just formatting in Windows ( might have to do it more than once to finally get it to show your full capacity) . I used Gparted Live CD to repartition and reformat to fat 32 and it worked great. Whatever your comfortable doing will work, but needs to be reformatted regardless. Also sounds like you should just RUU from scratch after your SD card is fixed , then start over once you know the phone is operating properly.
I RUU'd back to the OTA 2.011 and it fixed some odd issues I was having , now running the Sense 4 roms using the old firmware patch and everything is fine.
I formatted through recovery and RUU after I used a spare SD to install/update. Well this is what I don't get, under other Roms, my SD card mounts fine, but not under Leaked RUU, how ever if I'm on, say cleanrom and mount it to to the computer, windows acts like the external SD needs to be scanned/fixed, how ever I can still open and explore it just fine.
Ig I'll try reformatting my SD once more, then flash some GB kernels/fix
Will it matter if I'm on the GB or ICS bootloader?
sounds like the symptoms of not having the firmware patched.
What patch are you referring to?
In the meantime I'm going to try this kernel and run the GB > ICS fix

As I stated, Leaked RUU wont recognize either SD, CleanRom and others recognize both but reboot alot. I tried the internal fix by flashing the ICS Hboot for S-Off last night which changed nothing. I just now flashed a GB Kernel and ran the SD card fix to test with CleanRom and it still freezes/reboots.
-Edit-
Just checked, and it still says 4.0.3 under software. This is such a pain...
Also I can't access the internal SD card from the computer when I USB mount in recovery. It simply opens up blank.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1560363 Sounds just like my problem.
The first guide I followed to upgrade was trash,
this guide has fixed everything:
http://www.teambamf.net/topic/3528-guide-to-install-ics-ruu-and-firmware-windows/
Hi folks. I had an unrooted Rezound. I used the HTC Dev site to get it to an unlocked bootloader. I installed the Amon-Ra recovery and used it to flash the Infection JB ROM. Now it boots into the white HTC screen, goes slightly darker white and doesn't move. I can get back into recovery but after some wipes to clear up problems, now I'm stuck. It won't mount the internal or external SD cards. I *can* boot into fastboot but when I try to push a different ROM, I get the message that it doesn't an android info file.
I think I might be okay if I can use flashboot to flash maybe an ICS based ROM but I'm not sure. It seemed the phone originally didn't like the 32 gig SD card in there (one boot prior to the flashing it said damaged SD card). I popped it out, put it in a USB card reader and formatted it to fat32. Recovery threw an error when trying to access the SD card to do the flashing of the Infection ROM so I just flashed it from the copy I had placed on the internal SD. I'm guessing I might have to flash a standard boot.img from flashboot and try things again?.

Try using the usb mount to access sdcard. you may have to reformat one if you have an extra one. Or format it prior to putting it in your Rezound. As long as you can access recovery you are not bricked.

Provided I can gain access to the SD card, what would be my next step? Flash an ICS rom?
When trying to access the internal SD from recovery, I get this error-can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p37 or mmcblk0p38. Invalid argument. If I try to flash anything from the SD card, it says that it is opening the package, gives another line and then kicks me right back to the recovery menu. From there, trying to pull up the external card leads to a blank directory unless I yank the battery and reseat the card (or potentially just reseating the battery). Does anybody have any ideas?
fixit if you are s-0n
Look around xda, or google and find/download RUU 3.14.605.12, which should be an *.exe executable file.
Use a md5 checksum utility to confirm validity, boot into fastboot, and run this RUU.
It should make everything OK again.
@Napalm
Format the sd card using your recovery.
If you still have it in its current state open the rom's zip file, copy out boot.img, and fastboot flash it. Then attempt booting like normal.
Thanks Michael and hi Snuzz! After doing more searching, I did notice an extra step in one of the roms I used. It mentioned about flashing the boot.img in hboot if S-On was true. For my rezound, yeah it's still S-on for me. When I get back to my main PC, I'll see what I can do. I really hope I can come back from it as I'm really looking fwd to upgrading from my Tbolt. The Rezound has such a nice camera and processor, I'd prefer not to have to go another route.
Oh my god. This is so horribly screwy. The problem all along.....it ws the stupid 32 gig SD card I was using. I put Rage 2.3 on a 16 gig card, tried to flash from that one and it worked perfectly. No need for the RUU. I'm happy I didn't need it because of this warning.
This will not work if you used the HTC Bootloader unlock tool. Your device must be fully stock with a locked bootloader or you must have S-Off

On the 32 gig card, the zip flash would go by very fast and then basically reboot the recovery. From there, well the thread covers that. As of right now, Rage 2.3 has booted and asking for initial setup info. Since Rage is going to be my first ROM on this device, anybody have any thoughts on it or comments on another they like more?
