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

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.

Did u get Scott's Ph98 off the sd card, then put the leak ruu back on and relock to rerun ?

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.

yea, gotta name it right.
I unlocked my bootloader, rooted, installed amon ra recovery, have flashed a couple different roms. This morning i flashed scott's cleanrom 4.0 booted up everything seemed to be looking fine. However i went to look in my gallery for photos and it just pops up the screen sd card unmounted. So i went to setting storage and clicked mount sd card and it says preparing sd card, but doesnt do anything. So then i looked in the file system. under /sdcard it says sd card empty mounted or unpresent. sdcard2 isnt even a file system (not positive its supposed to be) so basically i only have access to the RAM i think? ive rebooted, factory reset, id try flashing a new rom, but i cant mount the darn cards on the computer to flash a new rom (maybe i could do this from cmd with fastboot or something?) ive thought about trying to format the sd cards but im not sure how to do this especially since the internal one is also having troubles.
I would really appreciate help on this as i cant hardly do anything on this besides texts and phone calls right now!
Thanks for any help

Well, when you say you flashed a couple of roms.. the only rom at the time that would work with the new base was the stock rom that came with the RUU. Scott , then had the first rom with the new base. Using the old roms on the new base caused SD card issues that your describing , but I figured flashing Scott's rom would have fixed it . Easiest fix is if you backed up the stock rom that came with the RUU, if not only thing I can think of is to RUU again and start over. I know Dres is looking into this issue for Amon Ra in case the dev blocks changed , but until he does I would think reflashing RUU is the easiest suggestion.
Problem Solved
Thanks so much! I flashed the latest (that I could find) RUU 3.11.605.1 i got the boot.img and the stock rom out of the RUU and flashed them using fastboot and Amon Ra respectively. When I booted back up the sd cards were properly mounted and everything seems fixed. Thanks again for the quick helpful response!
Now, I still don't exactly understand what I did wrong. So let me try to get some things strait. So the latest RUU is the latest version of the leaked ROM (from HTC?) in question, ICS in our case. So whenever a new RUU is leaked all the developers build new roms on this RUU? and if i say, had been flashing roms from an old RUU, and then flashed a rom from a new RUU (maybe i also forgot to wipe things?) caused problems?
I'd just like to get a better idea of what the problem actually was, and why what i did fixed it. Hopefully someday i won't be so dependent on the great minds here on xda.
Thanks again for everything!
I'm in a similar boat.
I'm in a similar boat. I went straight from stock rooted gingerbread to CleanRom ICS and now I can't get the sd card to mount. CleanROM just kept rebooting over and over. I'm going to try the suggestion by the OP. Hopefully that fixes the problem.
I guess the dev block changed from the old base to the new. Amon ra is already updated. So when you Ruu again and ran the new stock it matched so fixed it. Just don't rum old roms or backups.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
Go into my ICS thread or any of the ICS threads and download the patch to run the new build on the old firmware to fix the mounts
I have kind of similar issue. My phone storage and sdcard are swapped. I only rooter and installed AmonRa recovery. I put 9gb of music on my card, but in setting my card looks empty and my phone storage only has 80m left.
Any ideas?
Thanks
what firmware are u on... u probably need to flash the other amonr ra version if you are on 3.14 flash 3.15 or vice versa
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:

Ok so before you all try to get on my case I know now I am suppose to install these roms from the internal sd.
problem is I tried to installed CM7 because I hate stock roms. I am not new to flashing since I have done it on the g2x, milestone 2, x8, transformer prime but this is the first to only allow me to install from internal sd
so anwyays I tried with no success. I wiped all and left my phone on over night maybe thinking it will take some time.
So at this moment I am charging the battery using the macguver method and also I think i need clockwork recovery 5 something something
right now I have version 4.0.14
So my main question is how do i send the rom i want to the internal sd and or is there a rom that I can install from any sd card?
just want to boot up, get my paid version of cwm, get cm7 on and have a wonderful time playing with this phone!
thanks!

Flash recovery-atrix5.img, clear davlik-cache, cleardata/factory reset, then reboot system
Hey I fixed it! I let the battery charge for like 30 min on the macguver way and then I used the auto unlocked v4.2 and then, I downloaded cwm 5.020 and renamed the same as what the auto unlocker had which was like 4.9 something, open auto unlocker and selected flash cwm.
Then I wiped data and cache. Installed cm7 from ext sd. Wiped cache again. Rebooted and now it's perfect.
Would have wrote and Better response but I am on a phone!
I have an s-off ReZound, tried to flash Vigor360 kernel prior to flashing the Vigor360 ROM. I screwed up, I guess, because I wiped system, data, cache (thinking I was going to then flash the ROM zip after flashing the kernel), then flashed the kernel zip. Now my hboot just constantly tries to run the update, and if I don't boot to the bootloader, the phone just stays at the HTC boot screen. I know I need to probably delete the files off the internal SD, but I can't get adb to recognize the device (i'm guessing since I have no rom to boot up into), so I don't know how to get into recovery to delete the zip file now.
How do I get out of this? Confused....
You can pull the card out and use a card reader on your pc to delete that PH98IMG and copy back the ROM if it's not still on there and put it back in the phone. Boot into bootloader and flash the ROM again. I think that will work.
Then after the ROM flashes just flash the kernel PH98IMG file without wiping.
That should do it.
If you don't have a card reader to use, there's a trick to sliding out the card just a little bit so the phone will boot, but I'm confusing myself trying to think of how it works since it allows you to bypass the PH98IMG file but then I don't see how you are supposed to read it to delete the file once booted. Might be able to find it by searching, I know it's been posted a few times.
Thanks for the reply

Thank you for trying to help me. Unfortunately, the zip is on the internal SD. I have removed the external SD card from this equation completely. If I had a way to read the internal SD, I could be in business, but the only way I know how to do that outside of the ROM is in recovery, which I don't know how to get into while in this state.
Wonder what would happen if you put a PH98ZIP of an RUU on the external and popped that in? I don't know which card it would read first but you might get lucky and if it reads the RUU you can run that and start fresh.
The global leak one at Android Police is a zip:

That appeared to work!

Flashed RUU from external SD, deleted the violating ph98zip, then reflashed my rom. It appears to function. Thanks again for the help!
