Ok so today I got my htc rezound
I'm already rooted.
My q. Is how can I get to ics 4.0?
Like step by step.
Your help is apreciated.
I'm on a stock Rom.
And no access to a laptop.
Wat do I need to flash?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
You can flash an ics Rom...such as Scoslers clean Rom 4.2....will need to flash a patch since you are probably on gb firmware, he has it listed in the op, make sure to read it and it will go smoothly.

Can you post a link and thanXx for the fast response.

Scott has a link and directions in Op with patch you will need.

The community is great just make sure to do the reading, most of the time any issue you may run into will have already been discussed and explained. A lot of new users just flash and go to the last post. Reading the Op usually explains everything you'll need to know. Welcome aboard.

am a new photon owner coming from a htc hero. have had my mopho for a month I an unlocked rooted running cm7 and joker's 1.3 kernel and zep's v6 script and let me tell you this puppy flies my only issue is my internet on 3g guessing is the area I live in but its weak as hell.... other than that its a wonderful phone worth every penny

I'm using MIUI alpha ROM at the moment. A little buggy but still pretty smooth so far. Want to ask a question about it but can't because of the ten posts rule. Have been a member for over a year and have never had a reason to post anything till now.

mine is rooted but not unlocked I dealt with the custom roms on my og evo but I just wanted it rooted to get rid stock apps and hotspot.
I'm actually a little surprised with how comfortable I am with the stock software. With my Evo, once I learned about rooting, I rooted and flashed a new rom on that thing almost immidiately. Haven't found the need for it with this thing yet. Only thing I've changed was the boot screen.
only couple more posts yeah
came from the evo so far i like the mopho just wish we could get 4g with unlocked boot loader
Came from evo 3d,and before that og evo....and this is the better phone.only reason i rooted was because of bloat.that's it.what really make this phone for me is the dock accessories....i really feel that is the future if mobile computing! !

I am a big wuss so staying with the locked bootloader for now.
I am running Jokers4G locked rom with stock kernel. I like the minimilistic part of the Jokers rom I am very happy with the battery life in comparison.
Hmm, quick test CM9 rom indicates that the battery is discharged like on stock. So, the future of the CM9! Best rom 4 ever!

THANK YOU for this post!!!
I spent about a week reading and re-reading the 1350+ posts on the [ROMS]12/24/2011 joker roms unlocked and locked(4g) thread and a few other other developers threads about rooting/unlocking/rsd/sbf/cwm/flashing roms and pretty much everything in the developers area. My thinking was read everything until I understood it, THEN start doing everything so I wouldn't screw up my phone and end up asking how to fix things. The reading paid off. My phone is rooted, had bootstrap, is now unlocked with CWM recovery, has been flashed to Skinnyrev2-test3.5, is overclocked and undervolted, and modded with 8-finger multitouch.
I went back to the dev forums to thank the devs for their hard work (especially Joker!) only to find that because I spent my time reading instead of posting, I wasn't allowed to post in the dev forums...
So...since this thread is specifically for that, I'll use it to get my post count up to 10. Even so, it will probably take a few days because I am naturally more of a lurker than poster.

I really need to be brought up to speed on HTC development. I'm coming from a Motorola Droid x2 and I thought development would be the same but its totally different. I don't even know what the hell s-on or s-off means. I'm going to be receiving 2 new rezounds for my wife and I and I'm going to need to get them rooted, updated to ics, and new roms flashed on them. My Droids bootloader was locked down so our devs just worked around the kernel. Anyone know of any tutorials or anything that can help me out and bring me up to speed on the lingo and what (if anything) I should not do with these phones? Also, looks like they are being shipped to me running 2.3.4 which needs to go! Thanks!

He is right but this one isn't stickied and should be. Good place to start but just search before asking questions as you are most likely not the first to have that problem.

Story, one more question from the FNG, is there really that much of a benefit to wait for the official ics to be released? I'm getting the new phones today or tomorrow and I'm somewhat impatient. I can't stand bloatware. Sorry if I'm asking obvious questions but I know once I root and install ics firmware I can't go back if there is a release. Thanks.

You can go back if you're S-OFF with a RUU.
For the time being, you can flash a few different ICS leaks which are close to the official OTA but that's the beauty of modding our phones, you can even stay on Gingerbread and flash ICS ROMs and run fine with a patch as well.
Having problems with s-off. Using controlbear but everytime I attempt to begin program it says connect device and install drivers. Thi is very frustrating. Would like to actually get to the wire trick

Sure you have installed the HTC Sync drivers, and gone through the whole HTC Dev Unlock process properly? And make sure the option for USB debugging is on in the ROMs settings, plus Fast Boot is off. Check basic cabling and whatnot first too of course. Try a clean run on another PC if all else fails.
Thanks for the help!

Okay, so, I pretty much have everything set up perfect except does anyone know how to change boot animation? Running clean rom dev edition and when I use rom toolbox to change and install new animation then reboot, it just shows the regular clean rom boot animation so the change isn't sticking obviously. Thanks

Please provide me with a reliable link.
Thanks !

Will edit another mirror or two in a bit on this post.
Edit: My own PC connection is down, sure you don't live nearby and there is an outage? I'll just bring my GoDrive over lol.

I do recommend those too if you are ultimately trying to move to a custom ROM, that method saves some time if you know what you're doing and are a flashaholic with S-off lol.

Sure,.. Thanks
This is a very lofty goal. Moto f*cked this thing so much that we would need a miracle to unlock 2.3.5. I'm not saying you shouldn't try, and with no development experience myself I have no room to talk. I just know that others have tried and have been fruitless, or frauds... I do hope you can crack this **** open, however. This is a devoted community and the ones still with a photon know how great a device we have. I plan on using this phone until it won't boot anymore and I hope that we can bring it to its full potential.

Okay ladies and gentleman I know were all looking for a method to unlock bootloader for 2.3.5 on our photons, don't give up. I'm using my photon on family mobile by doing the methods described in a previous thread. I used RSD lite to flash a us cellular sbf file. I followed all instructions and now I'm using my locked photon on 2.3.5. I flashed kddi file and have my GSM radio unlocked with peetr's rom. Its all working smoothly so I say to all my fellow locked photon users ... you can still use your phone on any GSM network. I know we want to flash a ICS or JB rom but for the time being the method works. Don't give up cause it will be a pity if xda lets this awesome phone go.

Hey just wanted everyone to know where they could find the stock RUU for the rezound. I've been searching for a week now and finally found a good link. This is not the global RUU. This is the one that use to be on android police but was taken down when htc started cracking down on everything. Hope this helps someone and hopefully the mods dont take this down but if they do sorry for posting.

I gave you that link in your other thread, if that's what you mean by you "finally found" it.
I read in a post in the Q&A that someone just downloaded the global RYUU from Android Police and I just clicked through to be sure before coming back to report here and at least one of the mirrors is working now. They seem to have re-allowed the downloads once it was made clear that HTC was just concerned about that one site that had their logo and name on it.
Well Damn. That's my mistake lol. I used the zip you have me but I never clicked the other link bc you said it was the global ruu and I already had that one. In any case thanks a lot just a misread on my part
