[Q] Returning to Stock Issues - HTC Rezound

Hi,
I installed the ICS leak without being rooted or unlocked and had some issues with it so I unlocked and installed Amon Ra. I flashed the Stock HTC Rezound ROM for Gingerbread from Scott's website (scottsroms.com) and flashed the boot.img file he said to use. This works fine but I want to be able to receive the supposed update tomorrow. I relocked my bootloader using the "fastboot oem lock command" and it works but I cannot get out of fastboot. I searched around and that seems to be normal. Now here's where the issue is, I want to stock RUU but cannot use the Gingerbread RUU available for HBOOT 2.11 because the ICS leak updated HBOOT to 2.21. When I run the RUU for 2.11 (with or without an unlocked bootloader) it proceeds for a while and then says that I have an incorrect RUU and need to get the correct one. How would I downgrade HBOOT to get the RUU to work? Or can I get it to work without downgrading HBOOT?
Sorry for the long post. Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Only way would to gain s-off...its coming...but no eta yet...

Aww
That's disappointing. So you're saying there is no way at all to go back to stock gingerbread via RUU? If so can I go back to the ICS leak and receive tomorrow's update while running that?
Edit: Also, can I receive the update while running the stock GB ROM while unlocked? (can't relock)

You can flash a gb Rom ans the ad card fix. If the ota comes there will be posts on how to update, if radios or hboot changes,etc. It may just be like flashing a Rom.....time will tell.

I hope it's as easy as flashing a ROM. I also hope that there will be an RUU that I can run that will bring me to the stock ICS update.

[Updated w/ solution]S-off before or after OTA?

The main question is the title - Should you S-off before or after the OTA?
I have seen people around the forums (via a few searches) say that it is likely a good idea to perform S-off before OTA because we didn't know for sure if the OTA would close the S-off exploit. Now that the OTA is a known quantity, is that still the best route?
My device is:
Stock rom and firmware (2.01.605.11)
Unlocked
AmonRA 3.15 recovery
Rooted
I'm a little nervous about doing S-off, but I figure it will be really handy to have it once its done, and I understand it really is no big deal. My end goal is to run the Venom rom and then move to AOKP/CM9 once they have most of the bugs worked out. Would my best course of action be to S-Off, run the firmware updater, reinstall recovery (probably TWRP, seems like that is the most popular one at the moment), then flash my rom of choice? Will I need to re-root if I switch to a different recovery?
UPDATE:
S-off is done and was no big deal, I got it on my third try. I selected to not install the jb_hboot during the process, since I'm doing RUU next.
The 3.14.605.12 RUU (from android police) was as simple as could be, I renamed the file to PH98IMG.zip and dumped it into my sd card, once I rebooted into the bootloader it was automatic from there
I got stuck on the "flash juopunut Bear hboot" part, I am using Hasoon2000's HTC Rezound ALL-In-One Kit and S-Off Toolkit. I thought I could just flash the hboot from this and be done... I learned that unless you have the jb_hboot (the latest vigor hboot from unlimited.io) installed you can't use ADB commands (which the toolkits use). The solution was very simple. I just renamed the jb_hboot to PH98IMG.zip, rebooted into the bootloader and it was installed.
TWRP v. 2.20 flashed, for some reason my phone doesn't charge while plugged in and booted into this recovery. I guess I need to make sure I have a nice charge if I want to do anything major.
Installed ViperRez rom 1.03, now I'm toying around with it

I want to run a custom (like ViperRez or CM9) ICS rom with the OTA (3.14.605.12) updated firmware.
So my process will be:
S-Off -> flash Hboot/radio/firmware files from 3.14.605.12 -> flash juopunut Bear hboot -> flash TWRP -> Flash ICS rom
Is my plan correct in that I should flash juopunutBear hboot after I flash the Hboot/radio/firmware files from 3.14.605.12? If so why?
Is there anything else that I should do in between these steps that I haven't identified? Am I taking any unnecessary risks by doing it this way?

Yeah, flash the RUU, then the JBear hboot, then TWRP/Amon Ra, then a Rom

I would do it beforehand. Once you are s-off, you can flash the latest firmware without installing the whole RUU also.
But it limits from getting the actual ota which I love to see

I would do it before and then after you S-Off run through this PH98IMG RUU. From talks, this is the OTA.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1810931
Then flash the patched 2.25.2525 JB hboot from http://unlimited.io/hboot-downloads/
EDIT:
Alternatively you could S-Off, flash latest radios and patched hboot, then flash a rom of your choosing based on 605.10 or 605.12.
I'm still going to wait to see if we can get s-off on ics before updating today as I don't have the wire to currently do the exploit.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
All I am saying is this. Why wait for the OTA when their are already roms based off 605.10, barely anything changed from it to 605.12. Also, S-Off will stick as long as you make it stick.
why wait for the ota when the ota was leaked?

You are on Gingerbread firmware, that's the first thing to recognize. There's lots of development tools that were designed AFTER the Gingerbread firmware (2.xx is GB; 3.xx is ICS). In fact Amon Ra 3.15 was the version done after the ICS leak (because mount points were changed).
So you can (and probably should) do the S-OFF using the GB version over at Juopunut's site and then either wait for the ICS OTA to come to your phone or flash it in bootloader as a PH98IMG.ZIP (the RUU is available via Android Police, 3.14.605.12 is the "official" ICS, and I'm pretty sure its here on XDA but I don't remember the thread.)
If you don't want to wait for the OTA, it doesn't matter whether you are S-ON or S-OFF, you'll still have to flash the RUU in hboot. Both will completely wipe your phone, and the S-OFF process will wipe your CARD so use a different card before you do it!
Finally, to reiterate what's all over by now: the "official" update, 3.14.605.12 is only marginally different than the unofficial leak that's been out since May, 3.14.605.10, and the radios, kernel and hboot are all the same.

I recieved the OTA today from Verizon, but deferred to take until I figured out what I want to do. If I understand what you are saying:
S-Off -> OTA -> install TWRP -> then Flash ViperRez or whatever rom
Taking the OTA seems like the easiest and most straight forward way of upgrading to ICS radios/hboot. Will I need to do anything else before or following the OTA? I feel like somewhere I read that I will need to patch the hboot because I will be S-off.

Help with Mean ROM ICS 2.6

i've been wondering if anyone else has been having any issues with mean rom ics, i've flashed it twice, and even done a full wipe and everything. but it seems every time i restart (or the phone powers down) i go through about 6 - 10 crashes before it can run stable enough for me to use it at all. has anyone else had this issue or have this issue and can shed any light on what could be causing it?
Strange. Are you s-on or s-off?
Read, Search, Read again, ... Then Ask with Tapatalk 2
Im s-off via Juopunutbear. My phone came with bootloader 1.50 but I updated for ics using what was posted Here, so I could retain s-off
I was having some odd things happen when I first moved to MeanROM 2.6 as well so I flashed the 2.89 RUU when it became available to make sure that the software and firmware were completely in sync. That's pretty easy to do if you are S-OFF since all you have to do is connect your phone to a Windows PC and run the RUU.exe, then flash a custom recovery and optionally a different bootloader.
Things seem to be a little smoother for me after flashing the 2.89 RUU as a base.

but isn't flashing via bootloader the firmware bits doing (the long-ish way) the same thing as what the RUU would do? I'm still on the stock HTC bootloader for 1.58 because i was updated to it from the firmware bits, but if the RUU does something extra then maybe i would benefit from flashing with it. but i mean i also have MIUI 2.8.17 and i installed it (after i was able to use my phone) through boot manager a few weeks after installing MeanROM and booting to it yields me no issues of crashing or anything. do note its based off (supposedly) the GSM port for the E3D as well as files from the sprint/htc ICS release

There's no guaranty that flashing the RUU will fix anything but it did seem to help on my phone. The RUU flashes both the stock ROM and all the firmware, including the bootloader, so it makes your phone 100% stock except for the S-ON/S-OFF radio security and bootloader locked/unlocked status. It won't change either of those, but you must have your bootloader locked (or relocked) to run the RUU if S-ON.
After running the RUU.exe you can flash a custom recovery and bootloader if you want. It should be the same as returning to stock and taking the OTA update, but flashing the RUU.exe is faster and easier.

Hboot 1.5 s-on and I'm running meanrom ICS 2.6 .
I did the HTC unlock. Then installed Su zip from this site. Then I installed 4ext and rebooted into recovery...flashed the meanrom zip (it flashed the kernel that comes w the Rom ) and that was it. Now I'm on sw 2.89 build w the 3.0.16 kernel and like I said still s off and hboot 1.5
If anyone knows any where to get a kernel to overclock please let me know

i actually decided to give it a try after making a nand backup ofc, and still had the same issues :s after re-flashing from my backup though it seems to boot fairly stable now. even between switching roms im not sure exactly why but could it have been an issue with anything that is permanent between any rom?

HELP! Rezound refuses to pull ICS update (or any update)

I recently re-locked my bootloader (never had s-off) and flashed the appropriate RUU to restore my device back to complete stock, however now it won't pull the ICS update and I'm having a hard time figuring out what issue is. Is there any chance that someone can help me get this working? When I check the status of the upgrade server it's completely blank except for the source: Verizon Wireless and code: 0 any idea?
Flash the GB RUU and it will update to ICS after the install. If you flashed the ICS leaks then you need to S off so that you can get back to GB. Getting S off is very easy. I would recommend it so you can flash all the new roms.

Hello, I have a stock Rooted Rezound runniong 2.3.4 android. I got prompted to install ICS, and i delayed it, and it installed anyway and my phone would not get past the HTC screen. I have cwm installed, and i reverted back to the day i rooted.
How do i get the phone back to "stock" so i can get the OTA properly. is there a thread i can follow? i am s-on i think. (how do i tell, i thought i was s-off, see below for the bootloader screen)
when o go to the boot loader it says
*** UNLOCKED *** (in pink)
VIGOR PVT SHIPS S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.11.0000
eMMC-boot
You are S-On.
Download the GB RUU.
Relock the bootloader.
Run the GB RUU.
Let the OTA install.

So i think i figured out the shipped roms site. the Rezound is under vigor.
so which one do i flash theres 3 different roms.
how do i figure out which one i am on
1.00.605.3
1.02.605.6
2.01.605.11
also is there another link for the fastboot tool? so i can lock it again? Will these replace cwm on my device?
You have boot 2.11 so you need to get the 2.01 ruu. And yes it will return it too 100 percent stock including the recovery. You want to keep kt that way until after you update with the ota.

What happens when you check for a new update? Does it sit there for a couple seconds and then just disappear and not say anything? Or does it at least tell you that "there is no update available"? I had this same issue on the GB update: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1469246
basically what I had to do what activate my SIM on another rezound and then put it back into my original and it started pulling the updates.

"Hboot is older" error

OK so I've tried googling and all that but this problem doesn't seem to be as common as the mainver is older issue.
Background:
Just sold the phone on swappa but I need to return to stock before I send it, hopefully tomorrow. I was s on running neo 1.7 before I got into this mess.
Issue:
I booted into recovery and did a factory reset. I then booted into hboot and did a factory reset there also. I think I then selected the wipe internal storage option. I then proceeded to relock the bootloader which I believe was successful since it says relocked now.
I have downloaded and tried flashing 3 different ICS RUUs by renaming them to the appropriate phxxx name and flashing them in hboot. It goes thru the process a little ways and then all of a sudden I get the "hboot is older" error and "update failed" message. My Hboot version is showing 2.27 which i believe is the newest one. I can't do anything and can't find a solution. I really need to figure out how to fix this asap so I can get the buyer his phone. All help is greatly appreciated!
It is impossible to downgrade HBoot without S-Off, so you will only be able to run an RUU with HBoot version 2.27 or higher (I believe that's either the ICS OTA or the Global leak - correct me if I'm wrong).
To get completely stock, i.e., stock firmware and Locked (as opposed to Relocked), you will need to get S-Off, then flash whatever RUU you want, then get S-On again.
However, just flashing any RUU - either the ICS OTA or the Global leak, and staying Relocked should be fine - many people receive used phones with custom ROMs and all, so an RUU would be a big step up from that (in terms of being as stock as possible).
EDIT: as LOBBS said (below), you will need to run the Global Leak RUU. That will get you on the latest leaked firmware / radios, which is probably the best anyway if you are selling the phone to the 'average', uninformed user (or to the informed user, for that matter). You will have Relocked bootloader.
Alternatively, you could get S-Off and then get on stock firmware / radios, Locked bootloader, and back to S-On, but I assume you won't want to bother to do all that just to sell the phone.
Hboot 2.27 is the global leak RUU 4.03.605.

ROMs vs stock updates and what gets updated...

I tried searching for this answer before I posted this but I was not successful at finding it. So.....
Is there anything that cannot be updated by the ROMs? Are there items that can only be updated by taking the latest OTA update? I am trying to figure out if I need to take this latest update to get the latest firmware, kernel, etc.
I am OK with waiting for the ROM updates to come out if they will update everything, too. If they can't, I might as well get these OTA updates to see if they fix some of my problems.
Thanks for the help.

Yes there are a lot of files that cant be updated with roms. The only way to get all of the new firmware is to run the ruu. Turge has figured out how to flash radios now without flashing the ruu so thats good. But thats not everything. I'd wait to run the ruu until the devs change their rom base to the new update. Otherwise no custom rom yet. You can root the stock update after installing, just not many goodies atm.
Thank you very much for your help.
When you say the only way to get the new firmware is to run the new RUU, does that mean running the RUU from at&t or one of the modified RUUs posted on here?
If it is the At&t one, the only way to get it to fully update is by going back to the stock 1.15 ROM, correct?
Yep I ran ruu and got it running stock but my 2nd x+ still running old one wit elegancia till roms get updated I don't mind unrooting updating and rooting takes 30 min tops just patiently waiting for a update hell if viper gets updated first ill rock that

Correct, but I wasn't sure if you could update directly to that RUU from a custom ROM and get all the updates like hboot, firmware and radio. I was wondering if I needed to go from a custom ROM back to stock 1.15 and THEN do this 1.19 update to get everything updated properly.
If you update your phone to the latest RUU, you won't be able to installed a custom ROM until the devs update their ROM. You update, you stay stock for a moment. You still can ROOT the stock ROM.

Not exactly. You can upgrade with a RUU if your actual version is equal or lower. You can't downgrade your version unless your phone is S-OFF.
To flash the RUU
Reboot in fastboot mode
type at the prompt >fastboot oem lock
Rebooting
Keep your phone in FASTBOOT USB mode
Run the RUU installer on your computer.
This will FULLY WIPE the phone.

Doing this method, one could use the latest 1.19 directly from HTC and get everything updated? No need to do this method, install the older 1.15, and then do the 1.19 RUU update?

If it is the At&t one, the only way to get it to fully update is by going back to the stock 1.15 ROM, correct?
Not exactly. You can upgrade with a RUU if your actual version is equal or lower. You can't downgrade your version unless your phone is S-OFF.
To flash the RUU
Reboot in fastboot mode
type at the prompt >fastboot oem lock
Rebooting
Keep your phone in FASTBOOT USB mode
Run the RUU installer on your computer.
This will FULLY WIPE the phone.

You can do one of two things to get the full update. One is to go back to a 1.15 stock ROM, flash the stock recovery and run the OTA. The other is to run the latest RUU from HTC (the one from the link posted above) after you've flashed the stock recovery and re-locked the bootloader (otherwise the RUU might not proceed). Bare in mind that running the RUU will wipe your phone to factory settings.
I started a thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2245955 about people's experiences updating and post-update. Once you decide to update feel free to share your experience there!
I have already updated. I went from elegancia. I locked the bootloader, rebooted to fastboot, and then ran the 1.15 stock RUU. After that, I ran the 1.19 update I downloaded from HTC. I was just trying to figure out if I would have went straight from elegancia to 1.19 if everything including radio, kernel, etc. would have updated properly since elegancia was on the phone and not stock version 1.15. I don't know what these RUUs look at before applying their updates.
