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.
hboot-2.25.0000
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.

So let me see if I have this right. I rename the ruu to PH98IMG.zip then put it and the new firmware patch on my sd card. Then flash the PH98IMG.zip and patch in recovery.

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)

I'm brand new to this phone and the rezound section on xda. I bought two of these phones yesterday and have both of them S=OFF at the moment. (Last night's fun)
In hboot they say "locked" even though S=OFF on both devices. I'd like to install an ICS ROM, but I'm not really sure what I need to install first before installing the ROM so it doesn't get all messed up.
I remember installing/flashing something on my Sensation to get ICS running on that device, but I'm just a little confused with the steps in the Development section because I'm new here.

I flashed the hboot after jhboot and I'm not sure if this is the right one for ICS?
android Version: 2.3.4
I would suggest running the latest RUU and then installing whichever ICS ROM you want.
woah wait what
what are you guys saying?
I was stock,GB,rooted, SOFF.
my hboot said 's-off' and '***LOCKED***'.
you don't need to do anything special, you are s-off!
just get the 600mb ph98img.zip from the latest leak and drop it on your SD card.
it'll have to flash twice (first reboot after boot/recovery is flashed, then it does the rest the second time through)
that's how i went to the leak, still locked and s-off. and it runs great!

So its just that simple for those of us SOFF and GB?
1) Put the PHxxxx.zip image on the SD
2) Boot it into HBoot twice (not flashing via recovery)
3) Flash over our favorite ICS Rom
No patches, no nothing? Is this right?

I have S=OFF, I'm running GB, with the stock ROM and all the specs I told you. I'm not exactly clear on which one I need to install before installing a ICS ROM.
Do I install an ENG hboot... Do I install a ICS RUU file or a GB one? I'm assuming the bigger the number the newer RUU?
I'm not sure when you say about rom... i'm flashing the 600mb leak file from yesterday (5/7/2012) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1641249

Is there something wrong with the Custom ROMs? (Please Developers don't stone me)
I just came from a device with tons of custom ROMs that were way better than anything stock and would install a kernel and everything through recovery when you were installing the ROM...
I'm just not used to the process yet with this device.
I don't think there's anything wrong with them.
I just haven't taken the plunge yet, still researching.... regardless, Once you're fully up to date on the latest RUU, going to a custom rom based on it will be a piece of cake. But i'm not sure the developers have updated their roms to all the latest leaks, in which case, check with the rom you're trying to upgrade to - I'm not certain they all include new kernels/radios...etc. like the leaked ICS does.

Great question, let me test that right now.
Edit: seems to not work straight up with the one from the market. i'll check a different .apk that I have here, i know the custom roms use their own .apk's usually.
as i recall from doing this on GB, you gotta configure it right, and then it'll work. But you DO need root, so after you RUU, install AmonRA 3.15, and run the su/superuser install from the recovery menu.
So now that I'm s-off, is it easier to flash an ruu? Can someone explain?
I believe I no longer have to relock the phone. True?
Will either sd card be wiped in the process?
Can I go back to earlier ruu's if I want?
Thank you.
Rezound, s-off, loving it.

no you dont have to relock anymore..sd will be wiped as before..you can go to any ruu you like..flash process is the same for ruu
The only plus for an s-off device as fast as RUUs go is that you get not only to upgrade but also to downgrade, which on s-on devices would cause a brick.
So if say you tried the 3.14 RUU and wanted to go back to GB you sir can.

Im s-off running Nil's business ics v2.2 sense 4.0, gb patch/sdcard fix. Ill be honest, the phone works absolutely better than ever right now, but, im intrigued by the fact that im still on gb firmware and may be missing out on the full potential of the latest firmware. Does the patch replace the need to upgrade alltogether? If not Is there really a big difference between gb and ics with the performance/radios?

The gb patch/sdcard fix is the same thing, right? I think the Aroma installer installs the patch..
Anyway, yes the patch corrects for the firmware/ics rom difference. The change in performance/radios is subjective. I didn't notice anything different. Of course if s-off, you can always go back. My recommendation is go ahead and upgrade. You will sooner or later.
Well for some reason if i just flash the rom without the gb fix the phone will bootloop, naturally; but when i flash the gb patch i lose my sd card. So i have another file i downloaded(i dont remeber where from) called the sd fix that i flash last that does the trick. Come to think of it, i never tried just flashing the sd fix in place of the gb patch. Now that you say so they might be the same thing i might just have the wrong gb patch, idk. Buuut, its funny, you dont even know me but its like you know me so well, lol. Im gonna go ahead and fix the problem at the source by flashing the ics RUU as soon as i get a chance tonight. Its inevitable, im curious and this will bug the heck out of me until i do it. Just like s-off did.

I never used supercid on my Rezound or any other handset (I haven't been on the Rezound since March). Not sure whether you need to do it.

see the issue is the different kernels and mount points for ics and gb, Unless you run an ics with gb patch ( not sure if that exits . i know we have tons of ics patches for gb hboots ) so make sure your hboot version matches your os of choice , whether its ics of gb.

You can just run a RUU, that will break the root. You have to lock your bootloader first though. You can do that by downloading Hansoon's first All-In-One Tool. It takes care of the command line business for you. If you want it and can't find it, let me know. However....read on.
Now, about your sd card trouble. Did you flash the SD Card/Old firmware patch when you flashed the ICS RezROM....if not...you should have...and might contribute to the problem you're seeing.

Also, are there links to the right kernels and RUU's... I don't even know where to begin to figure out which ones I need.

I downloaded both of these and followed the instructions given. I then tried CleanROM to get my sd card back. which didn't work.
http://www.scottsroms.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=119
it is also based on ICS so I didn't need a new kernel right?
Also my AmonRa backup mysteriously disappeared and I'm not sure how to run an ruu. is there a link to a good guide for it? the scotty post has a guide but the full ruu, which I assume I need after 2 ROMs, isn't a .zip file so I don't know how to access it in the bootloader. I feel like I got way over my head with this.
my bootloader page reads

Both of the ROMs you listed would require you to run the Old Firmware patch. On Scotts link it is listed in the section titled 'extras' ...in the RezRom it is under the basic instructions. For both of those you should have flashed the ROM in recovery, flashed the boot(kernel) through bootloader, and then flashed the firmware patch. You see, ICS uses different mount points on the SD card compared to GB and since you are still on GB Firmware (hboot 2.11), you need to do that.
Just google "rezound flash ruu" ....basically, you'll have to relock your bootloader, download the ruu, rename it to ph98img.zip, and then boot into bootloader and let it install. Good directions and links for the latest LEAKED RUU are in post 3 of this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1508118 This RUU will get you the latest and greatest ICS firmware. I can't remember, you're not getting ready to send back to Verizon, right?
I'd say reinstall Scott's rom again first though. Can you read the SD card with your computer?

No, I'm not sending back to Verizon. I panicked when my card wouldn't read and decided I needed a better handle on customizing before I ROMed but it was too late damage done. I am keeping the phone so it doesn't need to be purely stock. And yes my laptop reads it, that was my only saving grace since RezROM didn't read my card. I will try what you have given me. I'll update if it works.

Do you have the recovery as a recovery.img or as a ph98img.zip file? If you can boot into hboot I'm thinking you should reflash it.

Yea he's right no need to unlock once you S-OFF because now even after an RUU I think it will still say relocked no matter what and you'll have to S-ON then S-OFF again to have that go away.

This should be it here. Scroll down to the recovery section and there should be a ph98img.zip file linked: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1425091
You may have to take out the card to rename it or else you won't be able to get to recovery because the bootloader always looks for a ph98img file before it does anything and if it finds one you either choose to update or reboot ....! So if it were me, I'd take out the card and put scott's roms files on it at the same time. Put it into the phone, boot to recovery and flash the rom, boot.img, and sd card patch.
I'm interested in getting the latest OTA update and attempt to S-Off. I am currently unlocked via HTCDev, on the old GB firmware, and running CleanROM DE.
How do I go about doing this? I've searched the forum and attempted to relock for a couple of hours now with no success. Can someone please give me some instructions on what I need to do? From what I've read, it would be better to get the latest OTA before attempting S-Off. Is that right?
I am no expert, but I believe if you made a back up of the stock Rom, you could just restore it, then s-off. It would be easier to s-off, then you could ruu the newest update, and install a custom recovery after that. Like I said, I am no expert.

I didn't back up the stock ROM. How can I get back to stock so I can attempt S-Off?
Have you thought about following these directions?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1696394&highlight=stock+rom+recovery
They worked for me.
Those are the instructions I was following. It says you must be on a stock gingerbread ROM or the 3.14.605.5 ICS Leak niether of which i am on so I guess that was my issue. It would get stuck after the first reboot and tell me to check device manager for adb or hboot drivers. I'm fairly certain I have all the drivers installed so it must be the rom I'm on. Thats why I was trying to figure out how to get back to stock.

Ok, then it must not be the ROM. It has to be a problem with the drivers. I even uninstalled the drivers I had and installed them directly from the tool. Any ideas?

That's what I was looking to try when you suggested that the ROM I was running wasn't the issue. I'm downloading stock GB right now, so I'll give that shot.

The following thread documents the steps that I took to go from unlocked, s-on, rooted stock rom to where I am now. If you follow what I did you should be good to go. I've haven't seen anything to make me think that you can't do the s-off procedure on the latest firmware (4.14.605.2)

To RUU, you need to lock the bootloader first, you DO rename it to ph98img.zip and then flash in hboot.
I s-offed by just flashing the stock, rooted version of the RUU first...I didn't have to lock! I'll look for a link. :good:

Awesome, thanks. I actually have the stock, rooted version of the RUU downloaded and ready. (vigorOTAStockRooted.zip). I'm much more familiar with CWM than I am with Amnon RA. Just to confirm: All I need to do is rename the RUU to P98IMG.zip and reboot to recovery, correct?
So the moral of the story is to always backup your stock Rom before loading any custom ones.....

Correct. Honestly, it was so long ago when I unlocked and flashed CleanROM that I can't remember if I made a back up or not. I have no idea where to even look to see if I did.
Ignore...
I have started searching and am having a hard time finding exactly what I need. Anyway, I haven't used my Rezound since I got my S3 so I am not really up to speed on where the Rezound is in terms of OTA updates and whatnot. Right now my Rezound is S-Off on a engineering hboot (I believe) and rooted, but it was stock otherwise (up until I stopped using it).
I would like to get it back to 100% stock (other than S-Off, I will leave that as is for now). What is the easiest way to get there? I am assuming flashing an RUU of the latest stock build? If so, what is the latest stock build that I would get if I re-activated the phone and updated it (meaning I don't want any leaks or anything).
Also, it has been so long since I did any flashing on the phone, but what is the easiest way to flash a RUU (since I have never done that). And can I just flash the latest RUU without flashing anything else first?
Thanks, and sorry for all of the noob questions.

Find the lastest RUU. I know its on android police. Place the file on the root of your SD card, check md5, rename to ph98img.zip, boot into bootloader and let it do its thing. You should be up to date.

Thanks! Yea, I just found it on android police. I am assuming it won't wipe the SD card or anything right? Since I am S-OFF I don't have to worry about re-locking correct?
Also, will that RUU get it back to the point where someone could get the OTA's and everything as if it was 100% stock with S-ON?

Yes , running the RUU will not effect s-off status nor your bootloader locked status.
not to hijack the thread....but I have a question that relates to getting back to stock. I am running business sense, with the OTA. I would like to get the other global OTA.. I am s on. How do I go about doing that?
flash stock recovery
relock
run which RUU? the newest one is a PH file on android police
unlock
flash amon ra
flash new rom
does that sound right?
the part that I am questioning is the fact the global RUU is a PH file. But it says I have to be completly back to stock and locked.
any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

I did s-off procedure a few months ago. it took several hours and kept failing. I used a large insulated paperclip with the insulating material removed from each end for good electrical contact.
What I had been doing wrong was not keeping the wire nice and straight in the hole. when the wire is not straight, it will not make good electrical contact with whatever is directly beneath the hole.
I just thought I'd share this tip in case it helps others.
regards,
Howard
p.s. There is no need to install the jbear modified hboot if you are uncomfortably with it. Installing the modified hboot is optional at the end of the s-off procedure. You will still have benefits of s-off with a htcdev unlocked bootloader while using a stock unlocked hboot. For example one can flash kernels via fastboot flash command with a stock hboot. s-off and jbear modified hboot are two separate modifications to the phone.

actually, on a stock, locked HBoot, you CAN'T use any fastboot commands. That's why it's highly recommended to install the JBear HBoot, plus it gives you an easy option to do it and it does it without the user having to do anything
