Make sure you wiped everything and flashed a gingerbread kernel

I got tired of the issues related to ICS leak-based ROMs and used the RUU to get back to GB. You do have to make sure you have a GB kernel flashed.
I have the updated firmware and it doesn't create any issues with going back to GB.

1. Wipe
2. Flash Rom
3. Flash GB Kernel
4. Flash SD Card fix if you're running the ICS leaked firmware.
5. Enjoy
There's a couple other threads open that cover this you may want to take a look at also.

This thread worked for me:

Good luck.

I was able to get back to the GB rom, but now my SD card (internal & external) wont mount. I've ran the SD card fix a couple of times.
Any idea what could be wrong?

Try installing amon ra 3.15

What is the name of the zip for the fix? Should be GB_SD_card_fix.zip.

EDIT: Sorry I missed the RUU part, all you do is install a GB rom with the SD patch, can't run the GB RUU with S-ON...

If you ran the leaked ics ruu and run the gb ruu it will fail since the hboot changed. However with s-off it would be possible to downgrade to a gb ruu.

Back to stock

i am currently running an ICS rom and need to return mine for another device since it is defected.
Can i just htcdev LOCK then flash the ruu renamed as PH98IMG.zip to get back to stock?
You can do that cause I think ruu is different than just flashing stock. I had an og evo and I flashed the stock and I still had s-off so best advice make sure there is an s-on utility for ur device then use the ruu to return to stock

That will work fine. You can also relock then run the RUU on a windows PC, but pretty much the same thing will be accomplished.
i flashed back to gb then did waht i stated in the op and all it did was lock me in the bootloader and now my phone is stuck no matter what it do.

I'm in the same place as you. I'm on ics and need return it since its defrctive. Please let me know how you get it to work. Someone toke me I had to flash gb kernel and Rom then relock and flash ruu

I'm no expert but I think (if you made a Nandroid) you can extract the boot.img from the Nandroid then flash it and restore your stock Backup. I would also wipe / factory reset in recovery.
If you don't have a Nandroid backup you can download the RUU or a boot.img from a Rom like Scott's GB ROM and use one of those after you extract the boot.img.
I just did this today, I first flashed back to a gingerbread rom, then i unzipped the ruu and took the boot_signed.img from it, renamed it to boot than flashed it from fastboot. Then I put the ruu zip on my memory card (renamed it to ph98img) and fastboot OEM locked the device. I then rebooted the bootloader and applied the update.

I got it from scottsroms.com, I just downloaded the zip file in the ruu section, as for reverting back to a gingerbread Rom, I'm sure anyone of them would work (scotts clean rom has always done me well). I only say that because once you flash the boot image, your ics rom won't boot, so you can't place the ruu on the memory card, unless you have another way to mount your sd card to the computer (i.e. adapter, or another phone)

I believe all you have to do is pick the rom you want, install it and your good. The majority of them automatically takes you to hboot to flash the kernal, but not all of them, so make sure you read the instructions before you flash.

Wait I thought even if you relocked the bootloader it said "relocked" or something at the top so Verizon could tell no matter what. That's the only reason i haven't unlocked yet because i just got a new device and want to make sure there are no bugs with it.

I wondered this as well. Most csr's don't seem to be as knowledgeable as the people here on xda. They also don't seem to have a lot of knowledge on particular devices besides the obvious specs. I really don't think anyone is going to boot into fastboot to see it's been relocked, or even know what that means.
I'm gonna gamble with it, I'm tired of the noise coming from the headphone Jack whenever I play music.

I just spoke with a Verizon tech on the phone last night, he told me that simply unlocking the phone would NOT void the warranty considering HTC is allowing it via their website. However he did say that any rooting/roms would void it immediately (if they can detect it of course).
So basically just put it back to stock and you are good?

Need help with ICS leak

I want to use the ICS that just came out recently. I am just confused if i need to go back to complete stock or not and how i even do that. I am currently using Senseless Redefined. Do i need to go back to stock somehow? Or do i just relock it and rename the ICS leak PH98IMG.zip?
You should always start from fresh when downloading new leakes. Keeps you from having as many bug/issues.

No need to go back to stock as the RUU will write over everything. All you need to do is backup your files (internal SD WILL get wiped) and rename the RUU to PH98IMG.zip and flash in bootloader.

Help with upgrading...

I was wondering if someone could help me or point me in the right direction. I'm currently locked, rooted, s-off, GB firmware and radios (hboot 2.11) and running cleanrom 4.4 . I would like to have ICS firmware and radios. Reason for this is being on the ICS rom mixed with GB firmware & radios seem to cause alot of heat and fast battery loss. So what would be the best way to accomplish this? Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Run the ruu if the firmware you like but be warned the heating probably won't go away
Btw look for the thread called "even newer leak 5/7/12"

So will that change the hboot? Also will it affect my S-Off?
it will install a new hboot and all... it won't affect s-off ever.

radio-1.22.10.0421r/1.22.10.0424r
openDSP-v13.6.0.7611.00.0104
you'll have to re-install amonRA as well, but it all works great. join us on irc if you need more help.
i don't know what he's talking about with the heat, works great if you install everything kernels/radios..et al.
Go to this thread:

Download the appropriate HBOOT + firmware combo. Rename to PH98IMG.zip and flash via bootloader. It'll give you the appropriate version. You will lose your customer recovery so you will need to reflash that as well.

do the new firmware patch first, since you can't have two ph98img.zip's at the same time
after new firmware completes you can run the amonRA recovery install the same way (ph98img.zip file)
wiping is always a good idea when upgrading like this, to ensure no settings cause any problems.

You shouldn't lose root...I didn't...but if you do just run the "all-in-one- toolkit" and reroot it.
So he can go straight from a custom ROM to the newest leak update without having to ruu back to a stock ROM? Just curious. Is that a benefit of soff?

This is my process:
1) Was on S-ON, HBOOT 2.11, CleanROM DE with GB firmware patch
2) Got S-OFF, ROM ran perfectly normal still
3) Flash firmware+radio+ICS HBOOT combo
4) Reflashed recovery
5) Wiped and reflashed CleanROM

you'd download the 600mb 3.14 leak file, check the md5, rename it to ph98img.zip and put it on your sd card... reboot the phone to the bootloader and flash it (it'll take a while to flash, with an automatic restart or two)

New to HTC modding (Question)

After some headache, I installed Scotts ROM
[ROM / LEAK] 5/8 - Stock Rooted RUU 3.14.605.5 / Truly De-Odexed! / Root works
I read somewhere that the RUU had to be flashed twice and as the newb I am... I flashed it once.
My HBOOT is 2.11.0000
No idea what my radio is... It doesnt list it on the front of the bootloader menu.
Do I need to reflash? Should I rewipe?
I had 2 random reboots already.
I'm S-ON as well.

No that is not the case. Here is the latest leaked RUU
Rename it to PH98IMG.zip and put it on your the root of your SD card. Make sure you don't rename it to PH98IMG.zip.zip. Windows hides the .zip extension.
Your bootloader needs to locked in fastboot.
Code:
fastboot oem lock
(Do this before you place the PH98IMG.zip on your sd card.)
reboot into hboot, it find the image and then update the bootloader. It will take a long long time.
Then boot back into hboot for it to make another pass, this will update the system to ICS.
Unlock the bootloader again
Install Amon Ra recovery.
Install Scotts rooted stock rom that you have on the phone currently.
Done.
Warning, running the RUU will ERASE your internal SD card, so if you have pictures, video, music you want to keep, move it to your PC before you run the RUU.

If you are going to update the firmware, you mifht as well S-Off. Use the GB S-Off, then flash this:

Irresistible Urge to Install CM10

The topic says it all. Having said that, I am new to cm on rezound, I'm interested in the nightlies. I only entertain this because bluetooth is working for calls. I read up on flashing to the latest firmware (I'm one iteration behind the suggested one), flashing twrp recovery, I'm s-off, and the only thing that eludes me is the kernel. Does the kernel come with the nightly build? If so, Is it good to use? If not, hiro perhaps? Not really interested in tweaking voltage or overclocking, just want a smooth out of the box type kernel.
Anything I should expect or look out for? I'm coming from ecliptic rez

Yes it comes with a kernel, run it with it's defaults is what I suggest.
Make a back up of your current rom, if you're not happy with CM10.1, just do a restore.
Just keep in mind, your internal and SD Card mount points will change, internal is /emmc, SD Card is now /sdcard instead of /sdcard2. I'd back them up and clean off anything you don't need in those storage areas first.

Good call. Will the internal and external storage be erased? Is that common?

No just swapped. You get apps and things that normally cache to the internal storage on /sdcard now writing to the actual SD Card, that's the only reason I recommend cleaning up things, or back up the data on them and swap the contents.
That's good news. I hated how my internal would get mistaken for my external.

If I update my hboot, will I need a new identifier token to unlock it or can I use my previous token from my current hboot?

If you're s-off, you don't need to re-lock your phone... In the event you do, you can re-use the same token.
Thanks for answering these questions, very much appreciated... But if I RUU to update the hboot and the radios, won't I need to unlock the bootloader again to install a custom recovery or would the new hboot still be unlocked since I'm s-off prior to ruu?

RUU won't touch your s-off.
Run RUU.
Install TWRP.
Wipe and flash CM 10.1
I know it won't touch my s-off, just want to make sure once I RUU my bootloader won't have to be unlocked again. Thanks for confirming both.

S-off trumps all. If you are s-off, then it doesn't matter if your bootloader is locked/unlocked.
Success. What an amazing Rom so far...Been looking forward to this since my T-bolt.

Just an update... I suggest doing the RUU, flashing cm, boot it, then ruu and reflash. Helped for some reason.
