My rezound would not so much as boot ics with a recovery flash. When I ran the leaked ruu, it booted but was very unstable I.e. unusable. Somebody, anybody who can help me I would be sooo appreciative. It's not a noon mistaking I'm making either. There's something wrong with the phone, and now I'm on gingerbread Rom with ice radio and hboot. I can't go back to full stock. Please help

Just a question.. if something is wrong with the phone , just return it ? What actually happens when you RUU. What version did you download off Android police ? Prerooted had lots of issues. Try another mirror and download possibly ? As you have probably read 100 times it needs to run twice to fully install the new firmware and software.

Ya I have read 100 times. I used the actual non-prerooted ruu and flashed twice. Repeated over and over and it wouldnt work correctly. As I can't return to stock properly because of new hboot, radio, and the big "tampered" on my bootloader, I am in no hurry to get a 600$ Bill for trying to return the device. I'm out of ideas except for letting the ota brick my phone and then returning it

You had to re-lock boot loader, then flash one of the stock ICS leaks (not the pre rooted version), then do all of the hboot updating and stuff. After that you should have stock with a relocked boot loader. Now, re-unlock boot loader, and flash Amon Ra. Then you can flash the pre rooted version or a ROM.

Again. I did not flash the pre rooted version. I did re-lock my bootloader, then flash the ruu twice. I did have stock ics, with a locked bootloader. It just rebooted and apps crashed. I tried it multiple times. This is my second device and my first one ran ics fine. I am 110% sure its not a noon mistake and I've overlooked no obvious step.

Are you already rooted? s-off or s-on? If you are rooted, just flash a 2.17 rom, nothing will happen to your root or hboot.

ok... IF you are rooted and have an unlocked bootloader the first thing you need to do is download the stock rom and install it to the ROOT of your sdcard under the name PG86IMG.zip the reboot into your hboot screen, done by holding the volume down button and then the power button...it will start to load this new file... follow the prompts to allow it it to install fully... then frokm there let it boot up once.... then shut it down and reboot into your hboot again then relock your bootloader via the fastboot methid and then reboot again... from there you can update fully to HTC's roms and updates and then redo the procedure of unlocking your boot loader and then installing superuser....any other questions feel free to ask ill be up for awhile tonight....

Since you are s-on just lock your bootloader If you are unlocked , and use the latest 2.17 RUU.exe....then unlock again...and root it.
the reason i gave a list of thiungs to do is bc i dont have my hands on your phone... you stated you have s-on... you should if you have 1.5 bc you cant turn that off... above that though your phone should say *unlocked* you need to set it back to say *relocked*
and you mus also make sure the recovery you have is the factory one... if you have twrp or clockmod for a recovery you will end up erroring out when the phone reboots and tries to install it... and if that happens youll end up having to flash the rest to get it to boot again

This has them all, but These are STOCK roms without root, they do not contain super user or busybox or anything, so you will lose root, you shouldn't have to re-lock to update though... it should just let you update it, this is going to wipe out whatever your current rom is.
You probably want something more like an already rooted rom though...
Thanks! So can you link me to a stock rooted rom i can flash....and after i flash it i can just update?

I've seen a lot of post that say you'll brick if you flash gb with the ICS RUU and I haven't heard of a way to down grade you hboot or your mainversion yet so I wouldnt try it unless ya feel brave lol
sent from my rezound
Rom: BAMF ICS v1.1
kernel:sebastinFM
All though it's never a hard brick you can recover as long as you do it right but I don't think you can recover with the old firmware you still have to use the upgrade if you flashed the leak to use a ICS roms
sent from my rezound
Rom: BAMF ICS v1.1
kernel:sebastinFM
I have reverted from clean ROM 4.0 to my nandroid GB back up with no problems.
What you do lose from going from ICS to GB is the internal sdcard mount.
I hear they use two different systems so you wont be able to view your sd card going back to GB.
There is a flash going around in the forums to get you back the sd card mount.
and FYI, as far as I know you can't fully downgrade the radio if you updated to the latest leaked radio.
no i dont have a brick i just need my phone to look like stock so i can trade it for another
and when i played gta 3 and went home this is wat i got:

there should be a stock GB rom floating around the forums.
you will need to get some recovery software like amonra.
Don't forget to update the kernel when you revert back.

I think it should come with the rom. You just need to flash it after the rom installs.
Flash one of the stock roms and kernels and then relock through fastboot, I doubt they will check the bootloader but just to be safe

i can flash that throught the recovery right?
or maybe the rooted one?:http://www.scottsroms.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=38
i can only flash ruu thru fastboot right? so if i want to install thru the recovery i have to use the rooted version
Now its not ripping so much, freaking weird

First..regardless of what you do you have to hope the verizon rep is not smart enough to boot into bootloader before exchanging as it already says unlocked...and depending on what you have done...it could say tampered as well. At best when you reflash and relock it will say "re-locked" not locked.
But to pass most reps you need stock..
so yes you need to flash stock RUU...but if you have flashed a kernel or rom your your mainver has likely been reset.
So first you need this to reset your mainver...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526316
Then flash the RUU from here
http://www.filefactory.com/f/c2e320ee1d5c7886/
You are wasting your time.. rooting and romming does not prevent exchanges. Big post in general about it too.
They check for 3 things
1, Was the shipping box damaged?
2, Is the phone physically damaged (broken screen , etc)
3, does the phone power on.
That is all that is verified, the Customer serive rep on the phone is the person responsible for verifying you have a valid exchange reason. If they authorize a replacement.. then you have nothing to worry about.
I have returned 2 rezounds for screen problems , one had ics, and one was.rooted gb.
*edit*
Never take a phone to a store, just call 611 and talk to a CS rep. Stores have their own agenda, the reps on the phone are directed to, in most cases, send you a replacement (almost) no questions asked.

further,you cannot downgrade back to 2.01.605.11 if you have flashed the leak RUU.
you cannot downgrade the hboot and radio,period. you cannot flash a gingerbread rom with ICS firmware,period. it wont brick,but your sd card will disapear
if you ran the leaked RUU,best thing you can hope for is relocked after relocking and re-running that RUU. but as was mentioned,it may say tampered as well.
I was in the same boat. I got my replacement phone few days ago. Sent out the broken one (3G radio doesn't work) with the ICS leak on it.
You can not RUU back to previous versions. Don't waste your time. I reflashed the ICS PH98IMG so that it at least doesn't say "Security Warning" or "Tampered".

Go to the bootloader screen and tell us what hboot and radio versions you have.
Hboot 2.21 is gingerbread.
2.25 is the first ICS OTA.
2.27 is the global update.
Did you run an RUU?
That should work.

This is the process I've used from what I've read here many times.
Place the PH98 file of the RUU on your ext SD card.
Relocking the bootloader always has started the flash process for me but if it doesn't.
Pull the battery.
Boot into bootloader.
Let the RUU flash.
Let the phone boot but don't set anything up.
Shut down the phone and pull the battery.
Reboot into bootloader again.
Flash the RUU a second time.
Boot the phone.
Delete the PH98 file off your ext SD card.
Power down and pull the battery.
Boot back into the bootloader and do a factory reset.
Reboot again and enjoy.

THANK YOU!!!! Thanks all around! I am proficient in adb and rooting and unlocking bootloaders but what ive come to realize about htc is the whole s-off/s-on crap. as soon as i relocked the bootlooader and flashed the ruu already on my sd card i was able to get booted back up. im running a s3 as my my driver and dont really have to deal with radios and hboot, but when i had my thunderbolt it really started to bring back memories. thanks for the help guys!
I received a replacement Rezound today and have messed it up beyond my repair. When I powered the new phone on it was on the old GB software. I manually searched for an update which was finally found. I downloaded the update and went through the process of installing it. About half way through the update, a red triangle with an exclamation point appeard. I tried this process twice and then decided to run the RUU that I had installed on my sd card from my prior phone. The RUU was the most recent ICS.
At this point I was not S-off or rooted, but completly stock. The RUU did not fully run but it did update my HBOOT and Radio's. When I boot the phone, it is still on GB software. I have some how changed my bootloader to show Tampered as well.
I was able to flash a zip file of AmonRa 3.15 and was able to flash ViperRom 1.03. I thought this would correct the problems and allow me to S-Off but it did not.
I thought that if I could S-off I could maybe get this all straight. But I am not sure.
At this point, I have a phone that reboots after a few short minutes.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!

If it tanked doing the OTA ICS update right out of the box, I'd call VZW for another phone...

Now, its happening again and I would really love for some one to help me get it back to stock so I can see if it improves and maybe get the thing S-OFF later. I am with Wind mobile.

And now when in the boot screen it cannot find my file I then tried another RUU but this time is used the exe wind one but that one failed as well and came up as an error saying the hboot version is older then what im flashing or something?

am I completely screwed now? Cause it seems i wont be able to get S-off or CID off while not on this unsigned rom (t-mobile), i am with Wind. The OTA does not work while on the phone (settings > software update). Would locking my bootloader and then loading the latest OTA zip from wind on the SD card work? I am very stuck!

well choice is yours your android version says GB hboot says ICS :/ i say try the GB s-off tool but do at your own risk...
well S-Off worked so thats good haha. Now i am trying to super CID. However, when uploading the proper hboot for doing so it wont let me because of the CID.
Ignore that last post. I figured it out so all is good. Now here is another question, should i flash CM10.1 or your rom that viper one? How would I go about flashing a rom. I remembered before you would just go into recovery and then format all execpt sd card and then install from zip. I tried that with the CM10.1 rom and when I rebooted it did not work.
went ahead and tried installing the Viper rom and after i reboot (when it said all was good) it show a black screen with green arrows. And its stuck on that. I do not know what to do now. Because I should have everything open. Was I supposed to flash something after doing the S-OFF?
This is what I am getting stuck on. I tried another rom too, same thing. I can boot into 4ext. But cant get past this on boot up.
