I recently went to change my ROM on my HTC amaze, but after I was finished installing it went to reboot and ever since no matter what I do, it just stays on the white htc screen. The only thing I can get to is into Recovery. I locked boot loader and unlocked it and after doing so I noticed it said S ON. How do I turn s off while stuck in recovery mode? Im using the ZurgRushTemp root but it says that I need my phone in usb debugging mode and I dont know how to do that in recovery mode. If I sound like a total idiot it's probably because I am. Previously I have unlocked boot loader and rooted my phone and downloaded other roms and it worked fine. I have no fricken clue what happened. Please help me.. How do I s off to install another rom while I can only get into recovery mode?
What recovery did you flash?
If its not 4EXT then you need to flash the kernel using fastboot.

Im not quite sure what you mean by which recovery did I flash? Im using ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.6 if that helps. What does it mean and how do I "flash the kernal using fastboot"?

Alright slowly but surely I'm catching on to all this stuff.. I think. I found "Hasoon2000's HTC amaze all in one kit" on another fourm so im using that. So I want to flash a 4ext recovery? Then after that what? And do I want to flash it to stock telus kernal aswell? Goddamnit did I mess up big this time.

just get the stock RUU for your phone. Re-lock your bootloader. Rename what you downloaded to PH85IMG.zip. place it in the root directory of your external SD card. reboot your phone into HBOOT and it should automatically flash the stock recovery and ROM. this WILL wipe your phone clean. then you can unlock the bootloader, root it, flash a custom recovery then a ROM of your choice.

Unlocking the bootloader won't change your phone into s-off. So, what you see is correct.
Forget about ZergRush. It won't work, or necessary at all if you unlocked your bootloader, anyway.
Edit: I forgot to mention. Try 'adb logcat' to see if your phone even gets to the boot sequence. If you see your screen gets filled up with tons of stuff, hit control-c to stop it. Then enter adb logcat > logfile.txt to capture it. You can post it here for someone to take a look.
If you can get into bootloader and/or recovery, your phone isn't in a bad shape at all. If you can access your phone from a pc with adb or fastboot (which, you should have if you've unlocked your bootloader), there are things you can try.
1. boot your phone into recovery and see if you can access it through adb shell. Do you see a shell prompt ('$' or '#' sign)? On the phone, use the mount option to mount system and data partitions to see if they are mountable. You can use 'ls -l' on the shell prompt to look around, if you like.
2. If your phone is accessible, but not bootable, the first thing I would try is to flash a boot image. You probably have one sitting in the pc folder you used to unlock, or hanson's all-in-one tool has it.
3. If you flash a fresh boot image (kernel) and the phone still won't boot up, the next thing I would try is to restore from a nandroid backup. I'm sure you've made a backup before you started, right?
4. If the nandroid restore doesn't work, you can try flashing a stock rom like someone elese suggested. You just copy the zip file, which you download from the stock rom thread in the dev section, to the external sd card, rename it to PH85IMG.zip, and reboot your phone into the bootloader. The phone will detect the stock rom if it's there and asks you whether to install the update or not. Remember to download the correct file for your carrier.
5. If nothing works, come back here and post your result. I'm afraid your phone may have a corrupt nand memory...

You used the wrong image, went about using that ota file incorrectly as well, Oh boy, ite, let's keep our fingers crossed on this.
You said your hboot was 1.93.0002? Correct? If you're s-on, this may or may not work, lets hope it does, since's it practically your only hope, though I wonder what your cid currently is set to.
Since you did s-off, you should know how to use adb. Shut the phone off via battery pull, boot up into hboot then go into fastboot, using adb check your cid via this command: fastboot getvar cid
Let me know what it is when you're done, we'll work from there, hopefully we can get this done.
sorry, forgot to pull sd card so it ran the PH85IMG twice,
the cid is

You can download the ruu from the ruu/ota thread in the same forum, the dev host upload by krook is much faster.
Do not change the name of that file, it's an exe file, you have to run it via a pc with your phone connected via usb cable in fastboot mode.

Hi guys I'm fairly new here and was hoping you guys could help me out.
so i got my amaze a couple months ago from this guy and he told me had rooted the phone but then he unrooted it.
So fastforward to today and i'm trying to update my phone to the new android 4.0 . it downloads the update but then when it shuts off to start installing the update a triangle pops up with an exclamation mark.
it wouldn't go away so i took the battery out to restart it, which it did.
How do i go about fixing this . Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
and this was on my bootloader screen if it helps any

Just download one of the stock ruu files, place it on your sd card rename it PH85IMG.zip and reboot into HBoot mode, it should restore your phone to complete stock.
What radio is on the new OTA update? Can someone who has done the update, post?

I have the same problem. I get a Main ver is old error when attempting to load the stock ruu, PH85IMG_Ruby_TMOUS_1.36.531.6_Radio_1.07.550L.04DC_30.64.550L.07_release_219373_signed.zip .
There is no way to get it back to stock with HBOOT on the ICS RUU you cannot go back, I got screwed over too. Unless you got S-Off before you went to ICS, that's the only way you can go back to stock. I think, that's what someone else told me, so give it a try but otherwise I think you are screwed, but I don't really know what I'm talking about. Can anyone confirm this?

Ok, I flashed via HBOOT the same version that was on the phone, PH85IMG_Ruby_TMOUS_1.43.531.3_Radio_1.08.550L.19DC_30.66.550L.08D_release_228638_signed.zip , and it seems to have accepted it, and going through the updates now.
Now, I will boot into stock, and attempt the new OTA ICS upgrade.
Will a restore work via CWM, that I took from the stock GB ROM above?
OTA ICS Upgrade = Success
I was going to pull the file off of the phone, but I started the upgrade and forgot. I could not locate it afterwards.
How did you flash via Hboot? Did you rename the file before you put it on your SD Card? Also do you have stock recovery?
finally got it
1. Make sure USB Debugging is enabled. Go to Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging.
2. Download my tool and run it. If your bootloader is unlocked (most likely it is), on my tool, press "Boot into Bootloader". After you are in bootloader, run the "Relock Bootloader" command
3. Put the Stock T-Mobile 1.43 ROM on to your SD Card. Make sure it in the root folder. Rename the file to PH85IMG. Run the command on my tool to "Boot into Bootloader" It should scan for the ROM. If it doesn't (It may be in Fastboot mode, that's why) press the power button so it switches from Fastboot into HBOOT mode.
4. It will detect it and press the Volume Up button. It will flash the Stock ROM.

Unlock your amaze again. Follow the hasoon steps and you'll be able to unlock it.
once you unlock it download this file
http://d-h.st/OIC
once that is done rename it to "PH85IMG" and then put it into your sdcard
then follow these steps
"Run the command on the hasoon tool to "Boot into Bootloader" It should scan for the ROM. If it doesn't (It may be in Fastboot mode, that's why) press the power button so it switches from Fastboot into HBOOT mode.
4. It will detect it and press the Volume Up button. It will flash the Stock ROM."
once it's done flashing you'll be on stock and then you can update the phone to ICS.

I was trying to root and update my wife's rezound, and I'm out of my league with my first HTC root. I unlocked and rooted the phone, then tried to flash a rom, didn't work, tried to use the all-in-one tool and got to the script in the command window that required the wire trick, wasn't ready for that. Tried to back out and now it just boots into a screen that says juopenutbear. I can get into HBoot and have fastboot usb up. I have relocked the bootloader in an attempt to get somewhere, and I think I have completely wiped the sd card.
Can anyone help me with even just the next step to fixing this? Is it using an RUU .exe from the pc? Is there some way to access the sdcard i'm not thinking of?
Thanks for any help, i'm staying up all night so that my wife might be able to use the phone in the morning.
It sounds like you need to flash the boot image from the rom you were on before you tried to s-off. Hopefully, you put it in your directory with adb and fastboot before starting to s-off. If not, you need to get it, put it in that directory and flash it.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
Jbear replaces the kernel, until it is done.
If finding and flashing a kernel sounds too complicated, then yes RUU will also put everything including the kernel back.
If S-ON then
you will need to relock the bootloader before installing the RUU. Also you can not RUU to previous older versions.
PS RUU will wipe your settings and internal SD, but should leave the removable. MicroSD card alone.
Go here and following the steps under ROM/Data recovery.

So while trying to update to ICS my fingers were working faster than my brain (yes, it happens) and I selected a menu option while using Clockwork and, while I'm not sure, I think the option said something like, "format .. OS...something..." before I could fully read it (and stop my finger from pressing the power button), I pressed the power button.
The phone rebooted, got to the white HTC screen and stopped - stuck on the white HTC screen. I pulled the battery.
I Held down power and up-volume and got to the bootloader menu, selected recovery and Clockwork came up.
Couldn't "Recover" because it couldn't mount the SD card.
Couldn't mount the external SD card either.
Ok - tried a factory reset - Rebooted - up came the white HTC screen where it stays until I pull the battery.
I'm new at this (probably didn't need to say that, but...).
How Do I get past this point?
Is this phone agonner?
How do I load (anything) to the phone at this point?
Thanks in advance! I appreciate it.

Make sure you have a card reader for the following.
The best thing for you to do would probably to flash an RUU.
First, download the latest RUU.

Power off phone completely with battery pull.
Plug in phone to computer with USB.
Go to the bootloader menu with vol down + power.
Select fastboot.
On your computer, run the following fastboot command (do whatever you needed to do to use fastboot):
fastboot oem lock
After that is done, time to install the RUU.
Find the RUU you downloaded and put it on your sdcard, then rename to PH98IMG.ZIP
Put sdcard back, then power on to bootloader.
It should now scan for the PH98IMG and then ask you to install it.
Follow all the instructions to install it.
After you finish this, you will be back to the stock ROM with a locked boot loader.

THANK YOU for your help, I really appreciate your response. I followed your instructions and once the PH98IMG.zip file was on the SD card I loaded bootloader and it did scan for the file, but said "no file or wrong file!" Well, the file is there so I know its not "no" file. I've tried a couple of different PH98IMG files that I found on XDA but I guess the specific file wasn't the problem.
After it gives the error message it simple goes back to the bootloader and waits.
Unlocking the bootloader and then following your instructions did result in the file being seen and, what appeared to be, the installation process beginning - however when the phone reboots for the first time it just goes quiet and never comes back up. I waited for at least 20 minutes before I decided it wasn't just a long boot process.
I"m pretty sure there is NOTHING on this phone. I've verified there's nothing on the SD card besides the PH98IMG.zip file. Assuming I've completely wiped out the OS (and it is not on the phone) is the method you've outlined the right starting point?
Thanks again, and Merry Christmas

If you are S-on and have an unlocked bootloader, you will need to relock it before attempting to flash an ruu. Once re-locked, ensure that the PH98IMG is not a zip file within a zip file which is how they are usually uploaded. Attempt to unzip the files until it will not unzip anymore. That file that won't unzip needs to be the one you rename as PH98IMG and placed on the root of your SD card. Reboot to bootloader and allow it to scan. It will ask you if you wish to proceed and you will allow it. After some time it will reboot back to bootloader to flash radios and the rest of firmware. After that process and a 2nd reboot you should he back to stock, locked, and unrooted.

Also, it could be possible that your phone can't recognize the sd card so it needs to be formatted.

zip file contents?
Maybe I should ask what the contents of the .zip file should be? I did check the zip to make sure it wasn't a double-zip. There were two versions of the PH98IMG file i tried. One had the file (imagemate-3.60.exe) the other had the file(s) (boot.img and android-info.txt).
I did "relock" the bootloader prior to trying and it would not recognize the file. When it was unlocked it would see it, start the install process, then go quiet. So that at least tells us that the file is there and likely workable.
I can't seem to get past the "No image or wrong image" message. I've tried on 3 different cards (the original and two fresh cards) and I've checked to ensure the zip is not a zip within a zip.

I can't seem to get past the "No image or wrong image" message. I've tried on 3 different cards (the original and two fresh cards) and I've checked to ensure the zip is not a zip within a zip.

You should download that file from Android Police. It should have a 'bunch' of files in it. I"m not familiar with imagemate-3.60.exe but boot.img is just the kernel. Rename the file that you download to PH98img, (as previously stated) put it on a good SD card and boot into bootloader. It should go.
How about telling us if you are s-on or s-off. I don't see where you've answered that question. Also, if it doesn't work, tell us what your bootloader screen says. That will give us some info to help you.
Merry Christmas....I've got to go to bed before Santa shows up. :laugh::laugh:
EDIT: I just downloaded the Android Police file and as I said, it has a lot of files in it. I'm not sure what you were playing with but i likely the cause of you problem. Get the right file, name it ph98img.zip, put on root of SD, boot into bootloader (you're locked, right) and let it do its thing. good luck.

One thing you need to know is that a PH98IMG file can be many things. It is only the name of a file that your phone looks for to use when booted into hboot. So it can be a kernel, an entire RUU (OS), a custom recovery or ROM... basically anything. It just means that item was packed into a PH98IMG file in order to run automatically off your SD card when the phone boots.
So you need to know what the PH98IMG file is that you are using or you might flash something you don't want that can possibly cause your phone to not work properly. In your examples above one is a kernel (boot.img) and I have no idea what imagemate-3.60.exe is. It sounds like you have not had the correct file.
Here is the global RUU you should run to get you back to stock with all the latest radios and firmware:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ull-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/
You need to be locked to run it so if you are S-ON, which it sounds like you are (don't remember if you mentioned that before), you need to use fastboot from your pc to do that, just like you did when you unlocked it with this command:
fastboot oem lock
***If you are S-OFF you should be locked again from that process already. But if you are S-OFF then confirm with someone to be sure it's safe to run the RUU, there's something about not relocking if you are on a certain hboot or you can brick it or something...***
Then put the RUU on your SD card and reboot the phone. Let it run through the RUU a few times because apparently it needs to do it a few times to get all the system files. Afterwards, if you want to root again and flash a custom ROM you will need to unlock again and flash a custom recovery and reroot.
It Works!
Not that I'm going to give you all the credit, because everyone kinda chipped in - however you DID provide the ONLY correct link to exactly what I needed! LORDY there are a lot of bad links being passed around. THANK YOU Ms. Feralicious, I totally appreciate your help.
... Everyone else as well - very generous with your knowledge and time and I will always love you.
Merry Christmas! Have a safe new year as well!
Miles

It's locked which means it's never been unlocked and it's s-on. A simple factory reset within the rom itself will suffice

Not sure what you're trying to do there, run an RUU?
Did you try a factory reset from the settings of the phone as Neo suggested?
Settings > Storage > Factory data reset
But back up anything you want to save such as pics, settings, etc... it will wipe everything.
same thing happens...

You still needing help?
Where did you get the PH...img file you are using? Are you sure it's an RUU?
Did you ever try resetting to factory settings within the phone? You don't need to RUU for that, check a few posts up on where to find the setting.
Anyone that could help me out with this, I would be so grateful. I am new at this, this is my very first post, and I'm looking up to you guys as my super hero! I have checked threads for the past 7 hours and cannot find out how to fix the following problem. I have found threads addressing similar issues but always find something that is slightly different and cannot help, I think I have a unique situation.
In a nut shell, my current objective is to restore the phone back to factory settings.
-Phone WAS running on Sense 3.6, ICS 4.0 <-ICS came preinstalled with the carrier
- I succesfully rooted the phone via the 'Hasoon Amaze all in 1 kit', downloaded 4EXT 1.0.0.5RC3, and tried to load the Cyanogen CM 10 jellybean rom
-Where it was stuck on the Cyanogen splash screen
-Figured out it was because my phone was set to S-ON via the bootloader screen, which HTC prevents cutsom roms from loading apparently
-Could not figure out how to remove the CM10 rom from automatically loading up, so I figited around in the 4EXT, and wiped everything
-Current Rom (according to 4EXT is 'Unknown')
Where I am right now:
- Stuck at HTC splash screen
- Only things I can access is the bootloader and 4EXT ( via battery out, volume down at restart)
-Cannot connect the through USB to modify the anything on internal SD card (I cannot access the phones internal drive through the computer)
-Cannot access SD card through 4EXT (it cannot locate it)
-I have tried to factory reset from the bootloader screen - takes me to 4ext. I have tried to factory reset from 4ext, takes me to the frozen HTC logo.
-With not being able to connect via USB, I cannot load anything else (zip files) onto the phone from the computer.
I have no idea what to do now Did I delete some important factory recovery file when I wiped the phone from 4EXT?
The idea was, that I'd install Jellybean as a ROM, I don't like HTC sense, I wanted google now, and I failed. I would REALLY appreciate it IF you can help and are in Toronto, beers on me.

since your phone came ICS preinstalled it'll be a lil easy choose the correct carrier and download the Latest stock ruu from there and Rename the RUU to PH85IMG.zip and place it on the root of your external sd card. Once this file is on the SDcard, do a battery pull, then turn the device back on while holding down the VOLUME DOWN button.once your in bootloader it will prompt you to install, select yes and then it'll flash then flash 4ext after that..when your flashing another rom always run this super wipescript from 4ext..it is IMPORTANT to do a full wipe before flashing another rom..

Hey Ravike - thanks so much for taking the time to help me out. Remember, I am new, so please correct me if I am wrong understanding what you mean in this solution. Do you mean to say to follow these steps;
1) Get an external SD card from a store (I do not have one)
2) Find a way to load the said .zip file on to the External SD card (I cannot transfer the file from computer directly to the external SD card via phone USB connection as it is not showing up as a mounted drive in My Computer - I would have to have a friend put the file onto it some other way), then insert the card into the phone
3) I am a little curious about this one -- And once the file is on the external SD card, load bootloader (on the phone) and bootloader will automatically recognize that this file is on the external SD card and prompt me to install it? (Again I am new, but from what I've seen it just doesn't seem like bootloader has that kind of functionality -- prompting)
4) If step 3 is true, it will end up putting me into 4ext.
-If you confirm these steps, then what happens after I end up in 4ext after step 4)? What happens and where am I in my quest to reset to factory
-If you do not confirm these steps, would you be so kind as to detail where I went wrong?
I just want to as sure as I can before going out to a store and actually buying an external SD card.
Again, thanks SO much for this, I really do appreciate it.

1.yup you have to have a sd card dont buy a huge one even 2GB is enough (i'm using a 2GB for flashing n stuff)
2.well try the option called ''toggle usb storage'' from 4ext it mounts your int n ext sd card on pc aswell if it doesnt work then ask one of your friends or take a card reader or something?
3.well when you boot into bootloader most of the times your in fastboot mode so make sure your in the right mode the option you should be seeing will appear as ''fastboot,recovery,factory rest,clear storage,simlock image crc'' simply all you have to do is go to bootloader option and press power button
4. try it first :good:
Soubds like you dont have smartflash enabled in 4ext... or did I miss that part somewhere?

Hey Again. Still stuck. Just a quick note that my carrier is Mobilicity. Here is what I've done so far since we last talked.
1) I got an external SD card
2) I loaded the file within the link you gave me "OTA_RUBY_ICS_35_S_DAVE_CA_2.14.1800.6-1.45.1800.2_R_release_263099viknauioz1fkgotb.zip" ,and renamed it to "PH85IMG.zip", as you said (I think - this is the zip file in the link Latest stock ruu you provided under Mobilicity) on the root of the external SD card
I note that there is another file in that link under mobilicity named "RUU_Ruby_DAVE_CA_1.45.1800.2_R_Radio_1.09.550L.11v 2DC_30.67.550L.09_release_227348_signed.exe"
3) Bootloader recognized there was a file there and tried to work it's magic but it failed and took me back to boot loader.
Which file do I rename to PH85IMG.zip? The exe or the zip? And what to I do with whatever file happens to be the one that I am not renaming to PH85IMG.zip? And where do I put it?
To answer the other fellow - I have tried enabling smartflash either way. And the CM10 rom is gone now. So is the stock rom. There is no rom running at all. It's just the HTC logo screen and does nothing. I can access Bootloader screen and 4ext through bootloader, but that's it.
THANKS!!!

Thanks Ravike! Still stuck though brother!
1) How to I 'relock the bootloader'?
2) I'm soooo new, what do you mean by 'flash it'? What's the procedure for flashing in this situation?
3) Also, what do I do with the other exe file or is it not important?
4) Is there any settings in 4EXT I need to ensure are on, or mounted or enabled?
Other things to note (may be useful for answer):
- When I rename the zip to PH85IMG.zip and go into bootloader, the following shows up in HBoot:
ph85diag.zip no image!
ph85diag.nbh no or wrong image!
PH85IMG.zip loads up, a blue progress bar eventually finishes, then it says
PH85IMG.zip ... checking
PH85IMG.zip ... parsing
Then it brings me back to the default bootloader screen and back to where we started. This may be where your solution of flashing comes into play of 'relocking' and 'flashing'? I don't know, hope you do!

Okay, somewhat good news (I think)...
I did manage to relock the bootloader in fastboot using the all in one toolkit. It looks like yes, it will send commands via fastboot mode.
In HBoot, It did something differently this time....
It used to say:
ph85diag.zip no image!
ph85diag.nbh no or wrong image!
PH85IMG.zip loads up, a blue progress bar eventually finishes, then it says
PH85IMG.zip ... checking
PH85IMG.zip ... parsing
Now it says:
ph85diag.zip no image!
ph85diag.nbh no or wrong image!
PH85IMG.zip loads up, a blue progress bar eventually finishes, then it says
PH85IMG.zip ... checking <-----this time with a yellow progress bar
Then it takes me back to the bootloader screen.
- tried to hit recovery (which usually takes me into 4ext, and it reboots the phone and back into bootloader)
-Factory reset also reboots the phone and back into bootloader
-If I go into fastboot, and hit reboot it also reboots the phone and back into bootloader
-At one point, I saw the yellow status bar on the HTC logo screen and it took me back into bootloader
-Each time it goes into bootloader, it follows the process of detecting the zip file mentioned above, but then it ultimately puts me back into bootloader
So now, here is where I am,
-The bootloader is relocked
-HTC logo/splash screen no longer freezes, yellow progress bar appears in top right corner and puts me into bootloader
-Cannot seem to access 4ext anymore
-Able to send commands to phone via All in 1 kit 3.2 with phone connected in Fastboot mode
-RUU zip is on External card, which gets read in Hboot, but throws me back into bootloader mode
Keep 'em comin' boys! I'd be so grateful if we could solve this! Are we almost there yet? LOL

-Each time it goes into bootloader, it follows the process of detecting the zip file mentioned above, but then it ultimately puts me back into bootloader
So now, here is where I am,
-The bootloader is relocked
-HTC logo/splash screen no longer freezes, yellow progress bar appears in top right corner and puts me into bootloader
-Cannot seem to access 4ext anymore
-Able to send commands to phone via All in 1 kit 3.2 with phone connected in Fastboot mode
-RUU zip is on External card, which gets read in Hboot, but throws me back into bootloader mode
Keep 'em comin' boys! I'd be so grateful if we could solve this! Are we almost there yet? LOL

Thanks I will try that. Just one thing. I think....... I think..... I think..... that I can avoid a whole lot of problems if I knew how to get the phone to S-OFF. I just have no idea how to do that and google has been of no help. Any idea?

Hello,
This is an odd request, but I'm in need of some help with this HTC Rezound. A bit of background first. It's not mine. I'm a G2 user (rooted and I know my way around Android hacking). This phone belongs to a friend and despite having it rooted he knows nothing about how he got there or how to fix a problem. Currently it's stuck in a bootloop. He mailed the phone to me (we live 750 miles apart) and he's hoping I might be able to assist. I can get into recovery (I'm assuming it's a custom recovery - looks like ClockworkMod) and my hope was to flash a new ROM but he stupidly neglected to send the phone to me with an SD Card. I'm wondering if there's a way to get a ROM/gapps onto the phone (internal storage) and flash from there. I see there's an option for USB-MS toggle and I've tried playing around in the internal_sd area, and I can get a G: drive to appear when choosing this and connected via USB to my computer, but when I put the ROM/gapps on there I cannot seem to access it for flashing purposes.
Sorry for the long-winded description. But is this a simple solution? Do I just need to get a hold of an SD card and put the files needed on there for flashing? Or is there a way to flash the ROM directly from internal storage?
Thanks in advance for any help you might provide.
Could you post a "fastboot getvar all" ? Without the commas.
Also one thing I would do. Flash twrp 2.6.3.0 Then mount the phone. Push the ROM using a adb push. But first could you post a fastboot getvar all ?

Sorry for my noobness, but I have no idea how to do that with this phone. I know nothing about HTC devices - never owned one before.
No problem at all man, we all start somewhere for every phone company.
Okay, pull the battery out. Put it back in, volume down, power button. It should show up a white screen. With I think like 5 options, I know the first two are: fastboot and recovery. When highlighted over fastboot, press power. Then will bring you to fastboot. It'll say in red letters "FASTBOOT USB" at the top. Plug it into the computer open a cmd prompt where you fastboot/adb also known as platform-tools is. Type fastboot getvar all

Thanks for the reply. My time messing with the phone is done for the night, but I'll give that a try tomorrow.
Okay sounds good

It should say something in the bootloader at the top like below:
***unlocked***
Pvt ship s-off (or s-on)
Hboot version # stuff here
Radio version # stuff here
Is it s-off or s-on?
If it's secure flag is still on, you would need to extract the boot.IMG from your ROM zip and do the following command after pushing and flashing the ROM in recovery. After you do flash the ROM, boot back into bootloader and into fastboot and type the following command in PC terminal
Fastboot flash boot boot.img

Yep, pretty much, what I was trying to get him through first was actually pushing a ROM to the phone, also the fastboot getvar all gives almost all info. But true with that, that's probably the MOST important part of rooting and ROMing HTC lol. Although he never stated what rom he has. Trying to get him through some basics of HTC too.

Yeah, just wanted to put that out there in case he found it how to flash a ROM without us, he will see that post to fix his boot loop (if s-on)

Thanks again for the replies everyone. Very helpful. As stated before, this is an odd situation because I know nothing about rooting/ROMs for HTC and this isn't my phone.
Anyway, a bit of where I'm at and some better info regarding the phone's situation. The phone, upon attempting to boot, would just bootloop. I don't remember exactly which ROM was on there as I've since done a factory reset, but needless to say it wasn't working. Also, I happened to track down an SD card from an old phone of mine and I used the USB-MS feature in recovery to put a ROM on there for flashing. Wiped everything as I would any other phone, flashed the ROM (which stated was successful) and upon a reboot the phone just hangs on the white HTC screen. Did a bit of digging and decided to try returning to stock (he doesn't care if this phone is still rooted, just wants it working). Found this link http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ull-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/ and followed the instructions exactly. Update seemed to take just fine, but again a reboot just got me stuck on the white HTC screen.
I've yet to hook this up to try the fastboot getvar thing as the computer I'm using didn't have ADB installed and I didn't have the time to do so. In the meantime any additional suggestions?
I'm attaching a pic of the phone in hboot so you can see some info that might be helpful.
The reason the phone froze at the HTC screen is because that phone is s-on...
In HTC world, there is the bootloader lock (the purple thing at the top saying unlocked) and the secure flag.
With the bootloader unlocked, you can flash on virtually any partition (only signed firmware and other technical stuff that is irrelevant in your situation) but when booted in recovery, you cannot flash to the boot partition. (Can only do that when s-off)
To flash the boot partition when unlocked s-on (secure flag on) you need to extract the boot.IMG from the ROM and flash it while in fastboot mode from the hboot.
To RUU (return to complete stock) you also need to flash upwards or same version firmware officially signed by HTC when s-on. If you are s-off then you can downgrade. Also, bootloader needs to be locked again.
TL/DR: flash the boot image following my post above and that ROM you flashed will work.

Thanks for this. I think I get what you're saying, but just for the sake of clarification, one more question regarding this process.
I extract the boot.IMG from my ROM of choice, flash the ROM/gapps as I would on any other device, then go back to fastboot and run the adb commands posted earlier? Correct?

Exactly. Be sure to do exactly that command not
Fastboot boot boot.img
If you forget to say flash boot, it will just temporarily boot that kernel/boot image and not flash it to the device. Then upon reboot you will be back at step one.

Again, thank you. Going to give this a go after my son's t-ball game. I feel like more of a noob than when I rooted my OG Droid years ago.
@Uzephi, @pball52998, thank you to for your assistance. I felt like a total noob working on a phone that wasn't mine. But I've got it up and running again. My friend Jake will be very happy (I've also told him that this is the last ROM he will ever put on here unless he learns how to do everything I just did - he didn't even know what ADB was when I told him).

Wait! He has old HBOOT and Radios, the newest radio is 1.28 he has 1.21 I think I saw.... I would suggest s-off then RUU and doing a RUU.... Or if anyone has em, the HBOOT and Radios you can flash in recovery.

Flashing them in recovery would be great, if there's a link to download the files. But just to be clear, despite this phone finally booking up there's more I need to do to make it 100% usable?
It is 100% usable, but you will experience less overheats and better battery life with the new firmware. I know the hboot ph98img zip is somewhere in this forum for the updated hboot and radio (for that zip you would just put in root of external SD card and in hboot it will automatically flash)

Hello, I have been preparing to RUU back to 4.03.605.2 and want to be sure of process. I read REV3NT3CH's post on downgrading, so I downloaded the latest 2 PH89IMGs via his instructions and here's where I stand:
S Off
Hboot 2.28
Radio 2.23.10.0123r/1.23.10.0124r
also running CleanRom 4.5
Can I just place PH89IMG on sdcard to RUU or am I missing a step? Thank you in advance
Just place it in the root of SD card and reboot to your boot loader
