Hey guys I am S-On and I thought all I would have to do is relock bootloader and flash a RUU from Gingerbread TMO-US but it gave me an error saying HBOOT is too new, so I have no clue where to go from here, I've tried everything. Any ideas?

You can't go back to gingerbread unless you have s-off,because the ics ruu updates hboot/bootloader on install, I read that you can't even get s-off on the new ics ruu leak so I think your stuck with this untill someone comes out with a method for s-off on ics...
That's the risk you took when you updated. I had s-on aswell when the leak came out but I S-OFFed just to be safe, did not want to be stuck if I wanted to go back..
Sorry bud...

I may be wrong, but I read somewhere that you still can get an s-off after upgrading your device to ICS. I just went to the JuopunutBear Public Beta page and saw that they have ICS version, too.

No! I had no intention to correct you, or anything. I said, "I may be wrong" meaning I am not really sure! I did it the right way myself, so I didn't try the method.
Anyway, I hope the OP tries the method and report back to us with what happened for everyone's benefit!

Searched around but found no answers, I need to send my phone back for warranty exchange and need to be on stock. Running energy ics with S ON. Tried to revert to stock by flashing RUU but it said the HBoot was incompatible. Can anyone please help?

Did you do a nandroid backup before you install energy rom? Your best bet would be to restore your nandroid, go into system/bin and delete the su files and flash stock recovery via the all in one tool, voila, you're back to complete stock.
I didn't backup before I did it, I just got the phone and had nothing on it. Stupid decision on my part. Any way around it?

Yup, hope GG or someone who has a stock nandroid see's this and uploads it for you, since the only other option is to flash the stock ruu, which doesn't seem to work, did you try flashing the leaked stock ruu via hboot?
Great idea ill try that now. It's just the hboot is updated to ICS and is incompatible with gingerbread ruu, so leaked ics stock RUU should work hopefully

Try changing your HBoot. Go to the OP of THIS LINK and try the SHP xxxx02 version. They try to reflash your RUU. Just be sure its the ICS RUU because trying to flash the GB one won't work with S-On after it has already been updated.

So my ReZound is getting way too hot and there are so many different threads with different opinions.
I just want a straight and bold answer...
Verizon care or not if the phone says Re-Locked?
Will I get in trouble or what?
Why take the chance ? Run the release update , then relock and no way in hell would they know . I returned four phones already and not once have they said any thing

I'm S-Off too. So just run the latest gb ota. Then s-on and relock.
In that particular order or...?
do Not not not not lock with jumper hboot. Run the ruu twice , the official gb one , that will restore your hboot , then relock , easy process will save you potential headaches
ask not what your developer can do for you, ask what you can do for your developer.
Yea all you gotta do is RUU back to GB then your fine you don't need to relock because the RUU does that. You can also leave it S-OFF because some are like that anyways I left the one I sent back S-OFF.
Also you only need to run the RUU once as long as when it's done all the items say "ok" next to them.

so far all of the hboots and ruu are exploited so yes, even with the lates ics leak ( not sure about .13 though , but mine was on the .10 leak ). so s-off , ruu to gb then s-on , I CAN NOT EMPHASIZE HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO ONLY S-ON AFTER YOU PUT BACK THE STOCK H-NOOT

it does accept commands, just not all of them, this one does accept the write secure, try it, it never failed me.
If I'm S-On and on the latest ICS RUU, I can't RUU to gingerbread without S-Off, right? Is the safest thing to do to just install a stock gingerbread rom with some sort of patch?
Edited to add: I'm also on the 2.25 Hboot, which I can't S-Off from, right?
As long as your just returning it to Verizon just flash a stock rom or ruu and they won't notice/care. If you ever had to warranty it with htc though I would lock it down and return the whole phone to normal.
Man, this is good news. I have a hardware issue but I thought that being unlocked meant I'm screwed. I'll run the GB RUU to clear any evidence of being unlocked and request my warranty replacement.
Im running cleanrom developers edition on my rezound at the moment and would like to s-off.
In the instructions on the unlimited.io website it says I should be on stock rom. How/where do i get the stock rom at? is it a RUU? Would I have to relock,flash ruu, unlock, flash recovery, root again to s-off?
Or am i over thinking this and just need to flash a certain rom in recovery and s-off from there instead of going the whole ruu route?
I really appreciate your help. i tried searching and couldnt find what i was looking for.
I think it works from a stock rooted gb Rom, but im not 100% sure. I unrooted and ruu'ed anyway; I'm doing s-off too soon. I was s-on and on old 2.11 hboot, but I just unlocked with "fastboot OEM lock" then ran the full gb ruu.

I may not have all the answers but I will do my best to help in any way I can. Apparently others are trying to "help" and if you choose to follow their advice if you brick your phone you are on your own.

Uh, I could use some help, but not sure if it's up your alley. However I'm not allowed to post in the proper forum because of my n00bness so yeah... Anyway I'm running the new ICS on my Rezound and using the MinimalText widgit. Basically, is there any way to make numbered notifications pop up on the widgets you create and place? An example would be, is I used MinimalText to create a simple "EMAIL" icon. However I want a little notification to be able to pop up on that icon telling me how many new emails I have. Same with SMS. Any help would be cool, and if not no worries. Thanks.

I know if you use nova laucher prime there is a secondary app called something like tesla unread. So if the theme works with tesla launcher it could be done. Tesla unread makes its so if i have a text it will have a 1 next to my message icon. here is a link,

I think if you run the .12 RUU you should be back on track to receive OTA's again, if not mistaken.
Just download the new RUU name it PH98IMG and flash it in bootloader (hboot). Afterwards you will need to flash a recovery and youll be all set. Being locked, unlocked is irrelevant as long as your s-off. Meaning you never need to unlock as long as your s-off.

Y don't u just do the lazypanda s-off now since you are stock. U don't need fresh rom to do it. The new base is installed when u install a new rom on the new base. Just flash radios separately which u can do once s-off or just being on 1.12 I believe.

Why would you downgrade hboot and then run ruu to install the latest hboot? If you downgraded to 1.12 you should have no problem running lazy panda. Am I missing something?
On unlimited's site it says the rom requirements to run lazy panda is 1.13 RUU. I was confused on that as well but it hasn't been successful. I'm currently 1.12 hboot with 1.22 software version. So at this point just run the lazy panda?
Someone in mac's development thread stated they were able to run lazy panda on 1.12. You should ask about it in that thread and see if anyone can help
i ran it out of the box no RUU just ran it
Was that you that mentioned it then? I was having a hard time remembering who mentioned it lol
WHOO HOO! I'm S-Off!!! Ok am I finally ready for customer roms etc and I guess i need to flash radios of course.
