Official ICS Release for Rezound a bust? - HTC Rezound

I contacted Verizon this morning and asked if the ICS update rumors were for real. I was told that they have not heard and have no documentation on the official release.
FAIL!!

Verizon will always say that......atleast from my experience.

Does it matter? The 3.14 leak is great. Any changes they made between that and the 'official' release will only make it better.

Yeah, but we all knew, or should have known, when a leak hit a couple days ago and wasn't the final release, that the 9th was wrong. There was serious reason to doubt it before that leak anyway. Just flash the new leak. It's great.

Yeah, not only will they deny it, but often the people you speak with will be uninformed or misinformed. I wouldn't bet either way at the moment. I wonder if Vegas keeps odd on this. I hear they'll do most anything. 20-1 the last leak was our official 10-1 we'll get anything today. I don't know not much of a gambler. Anyone got odds on it?

Calling Verizon for this is pointless. They are uneducated about pretty much every release, update, etc. We almost always know way before a Verizon rep knows.

Just got off with HTC. Get this, the guy said they don't know when updates will begin pushed out, only that the Rezound is on the list for ICS Update. BUT, he did say it's possible that an update could push out tonight and to watch my phone because it will notify me... How the hell do they NOT know when their own phone will get a software update???
I'm tempted to load a leak, but I need all the functions on my phone to work and it seems to me that all these new "leaks" still have some issues ie: camera not working, 4G/3G radios not consistent, Wifi drops, tethering issues... I'm running an unlocked, S-on, rooted, stock GB and things are working.. so I guess I'll wait because If I do update, and I lose functionality, I cant go back.

The last two leaks have no missing functionality whatsoever. No issues with anything.. I don't know where you got this info from..

The reason HTC does not kow is because VZW has not told them when they will release it.

The January OTA didn't come until the afternoon/night. So don't call it a bust until the pacific coast hits midnight.

I spoke to a Verizon rep yesterday, and from what info he gave me (unconformed) that the 2.1 official update has to be pushed via pc, sync not OTA. Something about the 2.1 first leak was really verizons 2.0 update went wrong. Like I said, its all he said, but on a good note. I told him my modified phone was having problems and he sent me out a new one, 1 day shipping. Kind of nice, and great customer service.

Modded Handsets Getting OTA?
I am curious if only people running Eris stock 1.5 are getting the Verizon OTA or if modded handsets are getting it too?
Specifically, I would be interested in hearing if anyone running the "official" 2.1 leak (someone who unzipped file PB00IMG.zip from their sd card [don't know if this is considered a "rooted" or "leaked" version]) has received the Verizon approved (May 11) 2.1 update?
I'm running the PB00IMG.zip 2.1 on my Eris and have not yet gotten the OTA. Wonder if I will? Thanks for sharing.
I downgraded to 1.5 from v3 root last night, nothing on the east coast here...

Verizon reps usually don't know what they're talking about. They just here rumors like we do. There's been a few people that have gotten the OTA. They said they'll push it out to 1000 the first day, then 9000 the next, so on and so forth. You've just got to be patient my friends.

From what most of the devs have said, you'll still be able to get the official ota even if you're on the leak. Unless they do a **** move and change one of the versions (baseband, kernel, or something. forget which one) to a lower version than what the leakers have. Then you won't be able to. But I doubt they'd do that, as I don't think htc cares and probably leaked 2.1 themselves.
Wifes Eris is stock 1.5 and nothing on hers yet. Will drop a note here when/if it gets an ota request.

Now that number system makes some sence, 1000 and if there is a huge issue cut it, then if that passes, jump up another few thousand ect. Until everyone has the ota, I'm sure it's to keep the airways clear and minimize the possibility of file fragmintation.

Somebody teach this guy how to grab the download link so we can get the OTA file.
The way I understand it, he would have to start the update, loosing root in the process. Sounds like a win/lose situation. BUT taking one for the team OS always nice.

Can you do the following and send it to jcase and zifnab06 , see below quote from jcase:
QUOTE=jcase;6454172]If you are a leaker, please follow this tutorial when updating to the OTA. Get us the url to the OTA zip please.
Code:
If you are interested in looking at the process that HTC/Verizon uses for the OTA updates, you can get the URL for the OTA zip the following way:
Run logcat on the pc and accept the update on the phone
$ adb logcat > logcat_accept.txt
This will sit like this (it continues to log output into the output file) until the phone reboots. At that point, the adb logcat job will terminate, and the name of the zip file will be indicated in the logfile in a message similar to:
W/SystemUpdateHelper( 64): !!! REBOOTING TO INSTALL /cache/desirec-ota-104882.7b1e5cca.zip !!!
Then, take the name of the file and paste it on the end of android.clients.google.com/updates/partner, for instance, for the Eris 1.17.605.1 OTA, the complete url is:
https://android.clients.google.com/updates/partner/desirec-ota-104882.7b1e5cca.zip

[Q] [POLL] Have you upgraded to new firmware yet?

If "No", please let us know why you chose to hold off, and if/when you plan to upgrade to the leak/ and or OTA.
I will start.
I chose not to upgrade yet.
Mainly because, if anyone reading this was around during the Eris, 2.1 leaked fiasco, you will understand my new and improved policy of waiting at least 3 full days on anything leaked.
Anyway, I also am holding out because
1) Joelz (I hope) will be making a patch for us folk who are waiting.
2) I have been getting better batt life on GB
3) hasn't been 3 days yet.. but now that the firmware is out, I may be editing this post in a couple days.
Reminds me of the 3 day rule for not calling a chick after you get her number. HAH!
I went ahead and updated....we'll see how this goes.
I just upgraded to CleanROM 3.7, so I'm going to wait for the official release of ICS before I flash a next ROM.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
I voted No... ICS is not that big of a deal for me. My phone is #1 a business tool and having it work is more important that how it looks. That being said, I am quite content right now with GB, how the device looks and works. Battery life is acceptable and I can use all of the tools I need to use. It is one very AWESOME phone as it is right now.
This might change if I see a lot of users using it without a lot of issues, but I might just wait until the Official OTA arrives.
There are more things to life than ICS....
Never ending... after the masses gets ICS they will want JB and then they will demand KLP.... it never ends.
I did almost bricked in the process as well
But all in all I say its worth it. We atleast have a method to downgrade the hboot if needed

I am holding off until I see there are no issues AND there is a way to get back to stock GB via Ruu in the crazy case I need to return to Verizon.
They may not check much but I'd rather be safe since 4.0 is noticeably different.

Nope still on GB. when the ota comes and custom kernels for ICS ill take the plunge. Still hoping for cm9 as well.
I have upgraded but I'm having trouble with the service.
Phone keeps telling me to insert a sim card when I already have one...
Just saw in Scotts ics thread you can't go back to Gingerbread after Ics ruu (he even updated his op).....so I will be holding off....at least until gets proven otherwise
Edit: now Scott is saying you can go back but there's a sd issue...however he said there is a fix....
so looks like I will keep on waiting for everyone else to be the guinea pigs lol
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA
I didn't vote because there's no option for "I'm on the second ICS leak and waiting for more ROMs to be based off of the third leak".
I just hope there will be a Rom that doesn't require the ics ruu as a prerequisite.
I am sure those of us with our tin foil hats would really appreciate it.
Also I can only imagine the forums whenever the official release comes and by chance it doesn't play nice with the leak.
Looks like gb for me, unless there's a Rom that doesn't require this leak. Guess time will tell...hopefully everything works out for everyone but I will just err on the cautious side.

That was the worst.. What was it? something like a few days after the 2.1 leak had been out, root was attained (but only if you hadn't installed the leaked firmware)?
Anyways, I installed the newer firmware despite all this. I have confidence the Dev section here will carry us through any issues that arise
I did last night. Scary but easy. Clean Rom 4.0 seems absolutely flawless this far. Battery is great. Stopped using extended battery its so good lol.

new firmware
I got the AndroidPolice all-stock zip of the new VZN ICS. Experimented all day with it including the TAMPERERED warning, and other stuff. Found out that when 100% bone stock, the new ICS will allow you to freeze/eliminate all the things I don't use, like VZN Navigator, Twitter, Trneds, NFLMobile, Lets Golf,Hot Pursuit, Freindstream, etc. So, I am ReLocked, and stock and happy because a bunch of bloaty things don't start and can't be seen in the app drawer. Bottom Line: the new ICS is gonna be so great, some folks won't have to unlock to get exactly what they want. Warning: if you check it out, getting back to GB isn't impossible, but it's a hassle.

There are some people with additional issues, though it's difficult to tell if the issues are from trying to fix the banner in various ways or the firmware itself.
That said, some of us need to fix this banner issue. I personally intend to sell this phone very soon in order to fund my Evo 4G LTE. Sell price will obviously be hurt if the thing shows Virgin mobile.
I mean.....It's fairly easy to get back to 2.17 software especially if you are s-off.
The difficulty comes with getting rid of the Virgin Mobile banner and reverting the PRI. Then there's the intermittent 3G issues, and possible Wimax problems as well.

While I would tend to agree normally for things like ROMs and kernels; this is a little different. People are currently replacing their phones over this issue. If he has truly fixed the problem, having this thread before he can get the full guide together and post it up as well as sort out any testing may stave off some of those people from getting rid of their 3d...that said...it probably could have been done in the other thread.

Either he never flashed the firmware with the radio part or he is full of it when it comes to removing the Virgin Banners. I can believe he downgraded to 2.17. I have tested this multiple times.

ICS ?'s plus some

Okay I have a few questions. I have had my Rezound for a couple months now and tired of waiting for the OTA update. So I was wanting to switch to one of the leaks. My phone is not rooted and still all factory with Sense 3.5. My main question is if I decide to use the Leaked version and then later the official comes out will I be able to do a update and go back to being official? Or maybe like a stock rom that will erase your phone and install all back to factory including the root?
Also do you absolutely have to root to install the leak? Please if you have any answers for my questions please let me know. Thank you.
You don't need root at all to use an RUU. I would advise against upgrading. Most of the ICS ROMS support the gb firmware. Just be patient. Only a little longer till ICS!!
Yeah thats what I have heard many times. Its coming in Jan, It's coming in Feb, Its coming in March, Its coming in April, It's coming in May. WAIT LET ME GUESS its coming in JUNE?!?! lol So sick of all the delays with it. Although I suppose waiting another few months wont hurt nothing.
I jumped on the last ICS leak when the May 9th release didn't happen. I have no complaints! I think the update will come to my phone even with this... If it doesn't, someone will leak it!

You can upgrade without root to the latest leak, in the event you need to downgrade firmware, it will require rooting the phone and s-off.
No, I was completely stock gb before the leak. I hadn't done anything...

There's never been an official announcement of a date, just rumors and speculation....
As for getting back, I am not so sure about that... Find the thread about the latest leak. The answers to your questions are in it.

If you don't know how to get back to stock you shouldn't do it.
You don't need root to upgrade, but you need to unlock, root and s-off to get back to stock gb.
Even if you got somehow off the upgrade path, of you were to s-off then it wouldn't matter.
If you do go from GB to ICS firmware just remember to factory reset the phone after the RUu or you "may" have data issues. Not everybody does, but some do so do it anyway.

UH after an ruu everything should be set i don't see why you would have to factory reset...
Well...there is probably a couple hundred of us who had this issue right when s-off came out. It only happens after s-off. Least that I have seen. 4G will Drop connection like mad if you don't factory reset immediately after the ruu completes and rom boots.
I also mean the factory reset in hboot, not in the rom.

I say do some reading, familarize yourself with the process, then go ahead and s-off and get ICS. Never know if getting the official ICS update will screw you or not in terms of keeping locked down, and the current ICS builds are pretty well done. But only do what you are comfortable doing.

I am also one of those hundreds of people. It only takes a minute, so why not just do it. Most of the other issues people had were fixed by a factory reset in hboot also.
Contacted HTC and they said June or July for ICS.

As per the title - I called HTC yesterday and spoke with one of the CS reps. I asked and after a brief wait, the representative stated that the device should be updated to ICS in June or July. With the HTC Amaze 4G rolled out (not VZW)--at least they have one less phone in front of ours.
I'm in the same predicament. I am very interested in the OTA but the speculation on has only led to more disappointment. In the end, for me at least, I'm pleased with my bone stock Rezound. Zero issues. I am looking forward to making it even better like many of the current owners have done.

Software 4.03.605.2

I've heard this came out a couple months ago, but my phone as yet to update on its own. When I try and check for an update, it says there are no updates to be found. And when I check my phone, my current software is 3.14.605.12. Anybody know how I can upgrade to the latest? Ever since I upgraded to ICS, my phone has been nothing but trouble for me, and I'm hoping if I upgrade to the latest that some of these problems might go away. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Here is the link to the global update: http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ull-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/ Lucky for you, since you haven't unlocked you bootloader or done anything otherwise, you can flash this in your bootloader and get the update with no problem.
Two notes on flashing that...first it's unofficial, so flashing it might risk your ability to get OTA's in the future. Second, it will wipe your data, apps, and internal storage. However, with those two caveats, it will work just fine.
I appreciate the input guys. However, both of you state I need to "flash" to do this - which looks to me (as stated above) it's an unofficial method of getting this update. I'm curious, is there a way I can do this a legit way? How come my phone did not take the update, while others did? How can I force my phone to update? I'd like to keep my phone as stock as possible and not do any modding to it.
If I really have no other options, then I guess flashing is my best bet. And considering the last phone I had that I took any time to mod was the first-gen iPhone, I have no clue what any of this lingo means - but I guess that's what Google is for. However if any of you have a quick link in mind you could post that might help me or at least point me in the right direction, it'd be appreciated. I looked at the link posted above to the actual ROM file and it has some simple install instructions, however I'm not sure if that's all I need to do considering I'm still fully stock. Thanks again guys for all your help.

your phone is up to date! like they said above and the global is unofficial, therefore putting the global ruu on your phone would be the latest!

Run the 4.03.605.2 RUU. Let it boot 1 time, then wipe and install shrike's CounterShrike CM9 ROM. It's seriously a great ROM and super smooth in comparison to stock. Basically, what this phone should have been from day 1.

My apologies, but I don't quite understand. You're saying my phone is up to date with the 3.14.x.x software, and the 4.03.x.x that I'm looking for is actually some "custom" ROM and unofficial?

think of it like getting a Blu-Ray Movie Early. They say when the Blu-ray should be released but some guys who know people can get an Early Copy but modify it to make it Better than its original Release. And this is all totally legal.

So this 4.03.x.x is just not out yet? I've been seeing news articles of them reporting on it as far back as August. Has it just not rolled out to every phone yet? If not, then I will continue to wait. I just thought my phone was messed up and wouldn't take the update.

But waiting on Verizon to Roll out the Update will take a loooonng time. but Sites have the Latest (Unofficial)Build. Unofficial is kind of like Alpha, and Beta. Unofficial is inbetween Alpha n Beta.
It basically gives u global function so if your not going to other countries don't even worry about it. I promise if u take the time to figure everything out and flash it you won't be able to tell a difference. Just skip it

A few people got 4.03.605.1 a week or two after the 3.14.605.12 OTA, but they never mass rolled it out. I know of one person on XDA who got it as an OTA. 4.03.605.2 surfaced a few days later on Android Police, but I haven't heard of anyone getting it as an OTA, and there hasn't been a peep out of Verizon on it.

Awesome, just what I needed to know. I will just be patient then. Thanks!
Yep, basically the only reason why the global update ever made it to light is because the manufacturers like HTC like to "splash test" on a few customers, let them report back bugs and what not, at this point if there aren't any bugs or the bugs that are present are workable, they will release the update in mass to the rest of the public.
Basically, a splash tester knew what they were doing, whipped together that nice little "flashable" ruu package and released it for the rest of us to hack up for our own uses. Usually, we look forward to these little splash test releases because they do contain newer bug fixes, but they also contain new kernels, libs and other useful things we need to continue making roms like aosp or sense 4 work better
I'd say if you want it, go ahead and flash it. Its just not official as they say because it did not arrive onto your phone via ota update directly from htc and verizon. Although it is an official build built by htc.
