Root help - HTC Rezound

Okay so I had an HTC rezound before and rooted it fine. But I just got it again from another member and im stuck. It's got the latest ics ruu but the bootloader reads locked with s off. I can't seem to fastboot or nothing. The Android driver won't install. I tried re installing the SDK and I can't because for some reason the Java JDK doesnt wanna install. Im kind of disappointed cuz I thought it was rooted but oh well. Any help guys ?

if you are s-off, just flash amonRA recovery via the sd card, and then install su/superuser via amonRA developer menu in recovery.
hold volume down while powering on to get into boot/recovery.

How do I install via recovery? Do I download it, rename it and flash it thru hboot?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2

amonRA has an option in the developer menu called "install su/superuser"
sooooo
1) boot into recovery
2) scroll to Deveoper menu, click power.
3) scroll to "install su/superuser" click power.

Sorry I forgot to mention that there is no recovery on the phone. Sorry I thought I mentioned it

install amonRA from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339679&highlight=amonra+ph98img+zip
put the ph98img.zip on the root of your SD card, and flash it in the boot loader.

You don't have to.
Look.up Armon's Ra thread in the dev section, there you will find a PH89IMG file, put that on the root of your external sd and reboot to hboot (bootloader), it will install tge recovery for you and you can root from there.

I've got the PH98IMG.zip for AmonRA if you need it, just PM me! You can probably just flash it like they said and then it'll give you recovery. That's what I did before.
1) Put PH98IMG.zip in root of SD card
2) Boot into bootloader and then accept the install
3) Boot into AmonRA recovery

Yes or that. Sorry, I totally skimmed over what you said.

Thanks a lot fellas. Im usually good at figuring this stuff out myself but sometimes you need a helping hand I flashed the touch recovery from the dev section but ill flash the one posted instead since I've used that one on phones in the past. Thanks to everyone. Really appreciate it

I recommend flashing
http://unlimited.io/hboot-downloads/
the vigor ics hboot
thus granting you commonly used fastboot commands.
make sure the md5 sum matches, and follow the instructions.
I'm not responsible for any mess ups that may occur during this ^ process.
If you don't use fastboot then this isn't needed.

okay guys i got another problem. i flashed the TWRP recovery just fine thru the PH98IMG.zip way. then i tried to flash the AmonRa recovery that way and it finds the recovery but then it say Phasing or Phrasing and then does nothing. i then try the fast boot way (finally got it to recognize fast boot) and it tells me "FAILED <remote: not allowed>" i tried downloading it several times to make sure it wasnt a bad download and nothin. what to do guys?
at the boot loader screen, this is what it says in case this helps:
***Locked***
Vigor PVT Ship S-Off RL
HBoot-2.25.0000
Radio-1.22.10.0421r/1.22.10.0424r
OpenDSP-v13.6.0.7611.00.0104

ok, you are **locked** so flashing stuff via fastboot won't work... the nice thing is you are s-off, so you can flash ANYTHING via hboot...
What is your battery level at? IF you are not above 30% battery, it won't flash anything.
It says "Parsing..."

Nope I'm at 91% when I turned it back on. And yea thats what it said. Sorry I forgot what it exactly said

[Q] Remove Recovery?

I just recently switched back from the leaked Ice Cream Sandwich RUU by changing the main ver and uploaded the oldest ruu (1.02 etc) and was going to just update through OTA to the latest version of the htc Rezound. I the found out that when I tried to update it, recovery (amon ra recovery) was still present and it tried updating through that, which failed. Can anyone help me out with removing recovery?
in order to ruu, you need to install stock recovery which amonra recovery will be removed as well. download: http://db.tt/tw5m33ZG

i use cleanflash 1.0 for boot.img and recovery.img.
http://www.scottsroms.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=57
or use adb and flash using this command "fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img"
if you are using cleanflash 1.0, after downloading the stock recovery,
unzip then put the img file in the same folder as the tool the rename it to "recovery.img"
then use the tool and flash
make sure usb debugging is enabled, usb mode is on charging and htc sync on your computer is disabled before using the tool!!!!

Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
There's a guide in the development section that can get you to switch your main ver to whatever number you want. I put it a 1.00.000.00 and then it automatically switched to the first main ver (when the htc rezound was officially released). Now I've got a problem because my phone won't read my sd card (even though it's working, i plugged it into the computer and it worked), it won't let me flash any RUUs in bootloader, every time i try to turn the phone on it goes straight to fastboot so I can't even access the phone, and where it should say locked or unlocked (in fastboot/bootloader) it has 3 lines that look like this:
***TAMPERED***
***RELOCKED***
***SECURITY WARNING***
Also, I was using the original stock rom for a couple of days before this happend, so that part was working fine. But Ive never experienced this before and this is my third or fourth time going through this exact same process.
Edit: I also forgot to mention that the recovery is now stock recovery again, as you could probably tell, it's relocked, I'm pretty sure it's unrooted, but I can't tell, and lastly, after multiple tires, I could not get the OTA update to work at all. I kept getting error/fail messages.
A couple of things. First you can't ruu back. Your hboot was updated. Second that TAMPERED message tells me that are not on the stock recovery, it only says that when a non stock recovery is installed. If you are just looking to get GB back on the phone, I made a guide in the general section. Search for "how to go back to GB from leaked ICS.

Do I have to do that if my phone's already on GB?
Now it won't let me get into recovery because it keeps trying to update the the software from OTA but that fails and then it gets stuck at phone with a red triangle infront/ontop of it.
Edit: I actually realized it was doing that because the recovery still wasn't there, so i went back to the command prompt and looked and saw that it said that flashing the recovery had failed. so then I went and got the newer amon ra recovery and tried flashing that, still said it failed and still wasn't there. What is going on with my phone?

Sorry in advance if this had been covered before but there are so many different threads everywhere i don't know where to start.

And just so i'm clear i go into fastboot and while in fastboot i run the .exe on my comp? or do i put it in the root of my sd card? Sorry again for all the questions.....
Put your phone on fasboot usb .
Run RUU.EXE
And your set. It will take about 10 min to complete.
Realize that if you remove your USB while its updating your phone might end up bricked so be careful to not get it unplugged.

Right on thanks guys i finally got around to doing all this and it worked. One last question....Any advice on a particular ROM to flash? I was looking at the Nocturnal Adrenaline E3D 1.0.2 ODEX?? what do you guys think? Thanks again for all the help...
I'm currently running MeanRom 3.92. It's really good. Lots of features & easily over clockable on included ziggy kernel or Anthrax Rls8 Final. Also includes other options that get loaded onto sdcard for flashing.
I flashed leedroid Tweaks, & anthrax, clocked to 1.728Ghz. Stable, fast, quadrant average about 4k.
All up to your preference really, but some consider it a good idea to stick with 2.17 based roms if that's the radio base you have.

it works the same as any other recovery, but when you choose the zip to install, a menu will pop up asking you what to do prior to the flash, that is where you do all your wiping...enjoy

I tried installing it via Revolutionary, but no go. I also tried the All in One Thunderbolt tool and still no go. Here's a pic of the bootloader:

Well, I had to do an OEM lock just in case cuz he returns it. I told him not to though. Open mobile employees are kind of dumb so it would look better as relocked than unlocked.

since youve allready unlocked,heres what id do:
-reunlock(use original token)
-fastboot flash recovery( fastboot flash recovery <recoveryname>.img
you can use any recovery,it doesnt have to be ext 4. i personally refer twrp or amon,but thats up to you.
-flash a rooted stock rom,2.11.605.5 or older
-run revolutionary
despite calling the open mobile modle "cobalt" the hboot screen clearly displays mecha,so theres really no reason revolutionary shouldnt work.
if it is getting some sort of CID error,might try making a gold card and putting it into the phone when running revolutionary.
in a worse case,you can always make a gold card and downgrade to exploitable vzw firmware,and manually write shadowmites permanent patched hboot. after that,you should be able to fastboot oem write cid 11111111 to superCID the TB and then run the open mobile ruu to get back to that firmware.
just holler if you need a download and/or help with the commands
Great post. I will try that. Thanks a TON!!!

check out this thread:
http://androidforums.com/thunderbol...591-help-root-htc-cobalt-aka-thunderbolt.html (i actually found yours while searching for info for the other one )
all he did was run fre3vo and then revolutionary. you can stay relocked and do that(directions here: http://androidforums.com/thunderbolt-all-things-root/418539-thunderbolt-root-unroot-thread.html )
or you can re-unlock,flash recovery,then prolly flash superuser 3.0.7 instead of flashing a stock rom. all that really matters is root acess for revolutionary to work. shouldnt matter if its temp root from fre3vo,or permanent root from htcdev
the main thing is that it worked for him without the use of a gold card.

[Q] May have bricked my rezound. Can anyone help?

Hi guys. As the title says, I may have bricked my rezound. I had rooted my phone using Hasoon2000's All-In-One-Kit to root. After successfully rooting, I used Hasoon2000's S-Off Toolkit. That's where the problem occurred. I may not have read the directions closely enough, but now, I always get stuck at the JuopunutBear screen. This screen only has the icon image. There are no options or settings to choose from. I can still access bootloader and flash Amon Ra recovery. From there, I have tried restoring a Nand backup I had made before. But even after I restore the backup and reboot, I still end up at the JuopunutBear screen.
I hope that someone, anyone will be able to help me out. Thanks in advance.
You need to flash your boot.IMG again

Sadly, that did not solve the problem. Nothing has changed. When I reboot, it still shows the HTC screen twice, then goes to JuopunutBear screen.
Just FIY, I used the command: fastboot flash recovery rezound-recovery.img
Can you get into Recovery? Sorry, just re-read the OP and it looks like you can. Here's what I would try next: In Recovery, wipe everything and then flash the RUU back to plain jane stock. If that doesn't work my guess is that you'll have to try to get back to S-on.
Good luck!

Yep. That's one thing I can still do. I have Amon Ra 3.14 running.
You need to flash your boot.img again. Not your recovery. Pull the boot.img from the Rom you are on and fastboot flash it

I tried flashing the RUU by going to bootloader (it searched for the zip file and did it automatically), but nothing has changed. Any ideas?
Oh btw, not sure if this well help, but my phone currently says:
TAMPERED
UNLOCKED
S-ON
if you've flashed a stock RUU, you need to relock as well. Go into fastboot and run "fastboot oem lock"
If that doesn't fix it (^what Shrike said ^), go to your sd card and delete the PH98IMG.zip file. Then after you re-lock, flash the RUU in recovery, not bootloader (although you may get taken there after it installs a new PHIMG file), just to be sure.

Ok guys. Trying it now. It's taking LONG, so maybe that's a good thing? I'll keep my fingers crossed.
Worked! Thank you!!!!

You didn't successfully s off. Try again later on now that you know the procedure to recovery.
But I will say this, keep it unlocked and on 2.25 hboot and 1.22 radios. With that setup you are near unbrickable and also have the OTA firmware.
Just takes you a couple extra steps to flash a rom.

Do you mean rather than going s-off? And not going to the global RUU?

Correct. Yes Jon. Only way to brick an s on is to pull power while flashing hboot or flash a bad hboot update.

[Q] Factory reset now I can't flash roms?

My phone started acting wierd, so I reset it to factory and now I can't install any ROMS at all!
I had/have S-OFF but somehow I locked myself.

I've tried renaming the downloads to PG86IMG.ZIP but all it does is gives me a progress bar, parses and then goes back to the fastboot menu.
I've tried to install clockworkmod and twrp but since I don't have superuser, it won't work.
I tried pushing through adb and fastboot but no write access.
I'd like to put carbon jellybean on it.
I know I"m missing a step here somewhere. But what is it?
You wont be able to flash custom roms on fastboot and u cant flash recovery because ur bootloader is locked you kust somehow reflash the bootloader or get it unlocked.

OK. I think I understand. I just don't understand how I locked myself and why it is so difficult to unlock when I was unlocked before.
I'm going tyhrough the [email protected] and waiting for my bin file. Hopefully it will come soon.
Once I go through that process, what's next? How do I install either twrp or clockworkmod as I don't have SU?
Well u probably flashed an ics ruu which had bootloader update in it so it locked it. U can flash recovery.img trough adb .

If i helped, press thanks
Thanks
I know just enough to be dangerous.
Any idea how long it takes to get this .bin file from the htcdevelopers ?
Once I use that file, then I can what? Just rename CARBON-JB-UNOFFICIAL-20130513-143602-shooteru.zip to PG86IMG.zip in the root of my SD card and then it will work? Or do I have to do something else? If so, what? It's late and I'm getting foggy. Wanted to get this up and running for morning use.

You are wrong. I have also LOCKED BOOTLOADER and S-OFF. I can flash anything. Even, 4ext recovery is flashed in my evo3d. As you are S-OFF, you can rw anything

Point is if youre s off you don't need to unlock your bootloader
You can flash any hboot, radio, custom recovery, etc
Did the op fix the issue
