juopunutbear s-off failed - HTC Rezound

Ok guys, I didnt think I would end up in this boat but I did So I am still on GB Firmware (.11), nandroided back to stock rom with SU installed. Downloaded 3.14 RUU to flash after s-off, downloaded controlbear for GB (windows), downloaded latest amon ra recovery and whatever else was needed. So phone is on, in usb debug, then I start controlbear, runs through its thing, reboots the phone to the juopunutbear screen and asks for the wire trick, I tried for about half an hour and it would reboot when i got the timing right but the went to the "taking another sip" or whatever it says and then error, still sober. I just want to make sure I have everything correct and if not, what i'm doing wrong. I have been reading all the guides for the last month over and over preparing for this so I was comfortable. I got back to fastboot, flashed amon ra and nandroid back to nils business ICS so my phone is back in working condition. Any help would be appreciated. I looked around some, but I was hoping some direct help would make it easier.
Thanks in advance

Honestly I would try a different computer if you have one.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll give that a shot tomorrow. Only my laptop has adb working at the moment. Does everything else seem to be fine?

usually the issue is with the computer and not the phone.

Another question. If it fails, and leaves the phone on the juopunutbear screen, I can still restart control bear with the phone on that screen right? When i do, it gets back to wire trick and reboots and fails again.

I switched computers and that worked second try. Thanks so much Con!!!!
Edit: Everything is running great. Updated to latest leak, amon ra recovery, and flashing Ineffabilis Deus right now. Was really hoping for Joel to have Charmander uploaded tonight, but oh well. I've asked for enough already lol. Thanks again Con

If the Htc amaze is like the Rezound you should be able to fastboot flash the stock boot.img from the rom you are on and it should get you back booting.

Hi to all I have tried to root using the HTC boot unlocker with no success. I was using the step by step instructions from HTC evo hacks. I got to the step at the command prompt where I put in the unlock code and I got this : C:\rootevo3dnew>fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin

OKAY [ 0.152s]
writing 'unlocktoken'...

See the Guide/flashing Notes in my signature. You need to rerun the currently installed "FULL" Ruu or the the Latest RUU, then the unlock will work.
I did the HTCDev and unlocked it went to thread on downgrade from 1.5 hboot to 1.4 tried that and it did not work. I went to try the wire trick and this is what I get when I try to use the controlbear. the phone connects and goes through process but says the following...
======== ControlBear 0.6 beta for JuopunutBear S-OFF ==========
Starting up......
Connecting to device...
Searching device.....
Found device.....but device has no root!!
Press ENTER to exit.....
Any help would be helpful I have tried superuser but wont install, tried rootevo3dnew, temproot sensation Ect. everything says I need to be rooted.
I am running stock rom that shipped with phone and yes I did updates. I am Sprint CDMA 2.17 rom shipped, 1.5 Hboot. I have flashed roms and modded before but dont consider myself to be advanced. I have done flashing and installing roms with my old HTC Touch pro2 but alot easier on touch pro2 LOL... Please point me in the correct place I have beeen all over from this thread to that one and back and forth and yes I have search threads and I have tried them but still come back to the one with wire trick..

Ok, let's make sure we know where you are at to start with. When you use the vol and power button to boot to fastboot, does the phone show "unlocked". If not, I think you need to do the htc method again. I have not kept up recently, but I am not sure there is any method other than the HTC method that works every time for 1.5. I have used the HTC method on two phones without a problem, so that is the method I use.
Once you get that far, I used adb to push or flash the twrp image into the recovery section of the phone. Then you should be able to flash superuser via the install menu of twrp. There are threads that have detailed explanations on how this is done.
Yea, I had a bit of a learning curve from my TP2 also, but love this phone!

I am unlocked I did the HTC Dev and unlocked it. I have a stock rom (the one shipped on phone) all I have done is unlock it... I did try the controlbear and got what I posted on last post. I am Hboot 1.5 S-ON and stock rom is 2.17.651.5 HTC Sense 3.0 ANDROID Ver. 2.3.4... Like I said all I have done is Unlock and installed TWRP 2.2 and created a restore point and created a recovery and backed up my phone. All through Goo Manager. That is all I have done.

In my post Ive included a flashable SuperSU zip. What youll need to do is boot to recovery and install this zip. Then reboot. You should have superuser access then.
Still learning this forum so excuse any errors I make. I've spent the last 10 hours trying to fix the mess I created on my wife's Evo 3d. I was able to root my phone and it was relatively easy so I tackled hers as well and have gotten a bootloop I cannot figure out, 10 hours later. I'm on hboot 1.5. I unlocked the phone (using a pretty reliable video), loaded 4EXT Recovery then tried to load roms. Everything worked fine until the rom-loading portion. Since then, the phone loops, but once or twice it made it all the way to the main screen and before I could slide the ring, a read error message appeared next to the bars of service then the phone just completely reboots. Right now, the only thing I can get into is the bootloader and the clockworkmod v4.0.1.4, somehow I lost my 4EXT Recovery. I'm stuck and in dire straights as my wife is going out of town and will KILL me if I don't fix her phone. Please help! BTW, somehow I managed to NOT back anything up (stupidity on my part). Will I be able to get this thing back to stock at least or is it now a paperweight?

Your not bricked by any means. And Im going to guess you tried to boot an ICS rom.. dont. They dont work with hboot 1.5. If you really want to go back to stock run the 2.17 RUU and youll be back to where you started. Another option is to download a GB rom and flash that. Not ICS. If your able to get to the bootloader than you can still load up 4ext recovery so you can flash the GB rom.
Edit: some hboot 1.5 users are lucky and can flash them if they used the correct VM firmware but majority of users have problems.

Thanks, I just tried flashing a rom that has taken it back to stock but I'm still in the bootloop. Should I stop flashing and simply locate the RUU?
22410,
It sounds like the kernel did not flash correctly with 4ext Recovery (next time, make sure u indicat S-on in its settings). I'm not sure if you were just stock 2.17 rooted or not, but use 7zip on your pc to open & extract/copy out the "boot.img" file from the rom, zip, etc you were using and copy it to your fastboot pc folder. Still have the Cwm 4.0.1.4 recovery.IMG file there too right (or the 4ext recovery.img file)? Ok...
- put phone in fastboot usb mode
From PC's fastboot command prompt type:
- " fastboot flash boot boot.img "
(this will reflash the kernel/boot image extracted from a rom)
If your recovery is screwed up:
- " fastboot flash recovery YourRecoveryFilename.img "
(ie: cwm_4.0.1.4_recovery.img or recovery.img, etc as listed in fastboot folder, to reflash a recovery to your phone).
With S-on, to properly enter a recovery for flashing ANYTHING you must:
- " fastboot boot YourRecoveryFilename.img "
(doesn't apply if using 4ext's Smartflash or TWRP's Dumlock settings. But you must have a bootable android OS/kernel first, once the flash is screwed it won't work).
If u have a Sprint CDMA EVO3D/HTC Unlocked & S-on (not Jbear s-Off), then the guide in my signature has more info.
Edit: as NIN said you will likely have problems flashing ICS roms with S-on (hboot version doesn't matter). If u are still unlocked & have a working recovery u can flash any gb Rom successfully after wiping system, data, & cache (or run superwipe zip). Meanrom GB v4.5 recommended.

[Q] Serious problems switching ROMs

I've got an Amaze 4G on Wind Mobile. My brother and I recently tried upgrading it to ICS. We followed numerous sets of instructions, flashing a recovery, a new version of hboot, s-offing the phone, changing the SuperCID and flashing an ICS ROM. We originally tried Android Revolution HD, but the phone always got stuck at the HTC logo and wouldn't boot up.
After a few hours of searching the forums and trying various things, we finally got the Energy ROM version 5/1 installed, after changing the SuperCID back to the Wind default (globa001 I think). We figured it was an issue with the Revolution ROM, but when I tried upgrading to Energy 5/6, I ran into the same issue.
I have searched the forums and found numerous people with the same problem, but I have not found a solution. I spent all night flashing ROMs and trying various things and I finally got it to go to the Energy boot animation, but it would just sit there and do nothing (I left it a good half hour). The next morning I tried installing Speed Rom with the SuperCID 11111111 and it worked. However, I had tried the same thing the night before, so I'm not sure what changed.
I'm not happy with Speed and would like to go back to Energy, but I'm worried it will brick my phone again.
I am currently using the TWRP recovery, but I used 4ext before with the same result. My firmware versions are as follows:
RUBY PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.93.0002
OpenADSP-v02.6.0.2226.00.0202
eMMC-boot
Any help would be very much appreciated.

ok, well if your on wind mobile you want to use super cid.
but heres what i think the problem is, you didnt mention anything about wiping. try flashing the superwipe.zip before flashing roms. and always have a nandroid of a working rom. or else you may get stuck....
if you need anymore help, i will be watching this thread
Sorry, I forgot to mention that. I used superwipe and tried the various wipe options in the recovery, with the same result.
I'll definitely look into nandroid before I try installing another rom ;-)
I'd advise switching back to 4EXT recovery, makes flashing easier, trust me. Now update your phone to stock ICS, install 4EXT recovery then format all partitions except sd then install the ROM of your choice.
Before installing ICS you'll need to flash GB stock from WIND, then update to ICS via either OTA or directly on the phone via OTA. Then do what I said above, let us know what happens.
yeah like dark said above me, use 4ext. it makes flashing easier.

Thanks for your help everyone. I'm a little confused about how to proceed though. I downloaded the stock Wind ruu.exe file from the forums, but I'm not sure what to do with it. I'm running Linux, so I can't execute the file. Is there any way to flash it without a Windows machine?
Also, do I need to relock my bootloader and go through the whole s-off procedure again, or can I simply downgrade to GB and upgrade back to ICS again without going through all those steps?

Once you're s-off once, you'll always be s-off unless you s-on again, to use the windows file your best option would be to use WINE. Which I figure you should be know how to use.

Thanks again for your help. I followed your instructions: Downgraded to GB, flashed the Wind ICS OTA, install 4ext recover, ran superwipe and formatted everything except the SD card, and then flashed Energy 6/6. It got past the HTC screen, but got stuck on the Energy boot animation.
Do you have any other suggestions?

[Q] Can't Get S-OFF with Wire Trick!

Hi everyone,
I'm really hoping someone can help me with getting my E3D S-off with the wire trick. Even though I've been a member on this site for a couple years, I never really did much on here because I haven't done much with my phone until now. So, I'm hoping that being a newbie, someone can help me...
Long story short, I've been waiting patiently until the official ICS update from Sprint to be able to root my phone and finally install a custom ROM without all the Sprint bloatware and finally have a clean, stock ICS ROM on my phone. For the past two days I've been trying to do the wire trick by following this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1813818
It's just that my phone will NOT let me do it! I've successfully unlocked the bootloader on hboot 1.58 and rooted the phone with superuser. When I go to do the wire trick, after running JuopunutBear's Wire Trick, all I get is to the point where it says "Seconday Backup FAILED at Beginning!!" and just exits the program.
I've literally done everything. I read that it's caused by a custom ROM or having HTC Sync installed on my PC. The ROM I have is the stock Sprint ICS 4.0 ROM that was installed by the RUU. I've wiped my SD card and even used two other cards, and it STILL won't work. I have no idea what to do anymore. After two days of having a blank phone, I've just about given up. I know there's gotta be a way to do it, but I just can't figure it out. I can't find anything regarding this problem from anyone else on this site or anywhere on Google. People say they had the problem and it fixed itself, but I can't get past it. Can someone please help? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Long story short, I've been waiting patiently until the official ICS update from Sprint to be able to root my phone and finally install a custom ROM without all the Sprint bloatware and finally have a clean, stock ICS ROM on my phone. For the past two days I've been trying to do the wire trick by following this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1813818
It's just that my phone will NOT let me do it! I've successfully unlocked the bootloader on hboot 1.58 and rooted the phone with superuser. When I go to do the wire trick, after running JuopunutBear's Wire Trick, all I get is to the point where it says "Seconday Backup FAILED at Beginning!!" and just exits the program.
I've literally done everything. I read that it's caused by a custom ROM or having HTC Sync installed on my PC. The ROM I have is the stock Sprint ICS 4.0 ROM that was installed by the RUU. I've wiped my SD card and even used two other cards, and it STILL won't work. I have no idea what to do anymore. After two days of having a blank phone, I've just about given up. I know there's gotta be a way to do it, but I just can't figure it out. I can't find anything regarding this problem from anyone else on this site or anywhere on Google. People say they had the problem and it fixed itself, but I can't get past it. Can someone please help? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You should try flashing a stock GINGERBREAD ROM. The thing with JuopunutBear is that you need crucial files from GB. Unless they updated it, I may be wrong.
Instead of flashing an RUU, look for a full stock ROM for your phone.
Then it should work perfectly.
I did it on my GSM EVO 3D, but there was a better guide on here for it, however, it's gone now.
I wish you luck, comment back if it doesn't work.
I actually restored the original RUU which didn't work, and then flashed the PG86IMG.zip file for the ICS ROM and that didn't work either. I've gone through all the steps of unlocking and rooting multiple times, and it still gives me that backup message. I have no idea what else to do.
Also, the phone is new - Sprint replaced it under warranty for me because the bezel of my old one was coming loose which they said is a common problem, so they swapped it out with a fresh one for me. The only thing I can think of is maybe that daemon message I get when I start the fastboot? It says something like "Daemon not started. Starting on port 5037." Does the port have anything to do with it?
I'm gonna try flashing a stock Gingerbread ROM now. I'm downloading the 2.17.651.5 release - I think that's the official Gingerbread update from Sprint. I'll post back soon - thanks for your help.

Make sure you watch the screen on the phone until the prompts for superuser have appeared and been approved. Also, have you read through the JuopunutBear thread in the stickies of the development forum? There's a lot of information in there and a link to a good video by zedomax, and if that isn't enough to get you through it you can get some live help by logging into the IRC channel from the support page on the unlimited.io website.

I appreciate the help so far. I tried returning to a stock Gingerbread ROM to do the S-off trick since they thought maybe it had something to do with files from Gingerbread that weren't in the ICS ROM, but the phone won't let me do it. Running the official RUU fails and says it can't update the software, and trying to flash the PG86IMG.zip from the bootloader just ignores it - I boot the phone, it spends five minutes loading and checking, then just goes back to the menu. I read you can't flash an older firmware update over a newer one unless you have S-off, but since that's what I'm trying to get at, that obviously won't work.
So, I gave up and flashed the official RUU for ICS and it flashed fine and put me back at the stock Sprint software. Unlocked bootloader, rooted and tried the S-off again, and got the same problem. I'm giving up on it for the night but I'll research the stickies tomorrow at work and see what I can find and if anyone else might have had this problem. I don't feel like accepting the fact that there's no way to get S-off on this phone. Seems everyone else had no problems.
Thanks again for all your help so far!

JuopunutBear will work fine with the Sprint ICS 2.89 build installed, but make sure you use the version designed for that build.
Good luck!

Okay cool, just let me know. Thanks.
So I figured I would update on this but I'm sure no one really cares.
I FINALLY got S-off using the wire trick by installing a quick custom ROM and trying the process again. For some reason the guide I used said to use the stock untouched ROM but it didn't work for me, even though everyone else seems to have had luck.
So, after flashing a ROM quick through ext4 worked for me, and I flashed CoolROM with Sense 4.1. Looks good, but there's no 4G. I get full 4G coverage where I live, so I'm gonna kind of miss that. I was originally looking for a clean stock ICS ROM without Sense, but when I said this with Sense 4.1 I figured I'd give it a shot. Does anyone know of a stable ROM with working 4G and everything else? The whole reason I decided to root and get S-off was to finally remove all the Sprint bloatware, so I want a clean ROM. If anyone knows of a good ROM, I'd love to hear about it. Thanks!

Try SOS M if you want a de-Sensed ROM with everything working.

S-Off after RUU 4.03.605.2

Hey folks..so I want to start flashing kernels and yes I know I probably should have gone s-off way sooner but I want to do it now. I've been rooting and romming my phones for a while but this whole s-off procedure continued to scare the crap out of me. But..I don't want to limit my choices when it comes to roms and kernels so I guess I'll do it anyway.
However, I am currently running RUU 4.03.605.2 with Vigor360 1.1 s modified kernel.
Can I still go s-off even though I am now running the global leak (or is it now impossible) and if so, can someone point me in the right direction?
Thank you kind gents n ladies!
I've heard of several people being successful on 4.03.605.2 with the 3.14.605.5 ControlBear version.
Only other advice I can offer is don't give up, try different wires if you're having trouble, and pay attention to the troubleshooting page if you decide you want back out and try again later. I've S-OFF'ed three Rezounds. The first took 3 days, the second 2 minutes, and the third 30 minutes.

i did s-off with viper's rom and the .5. i was on global too, don't let it scare you or you will not get it. i couldn't get the timing for the life of me. first two hours was a hassle, then i had to get my other battery(thought i bricked my phone) then i relized that they had a metrnome with the correct timing and it worked the first time. but use a different memory card. all of these things can be found under the s-off instructions.:good:
its really easy man you can do it. i reccemend using speaker wire as its more pliable than a paperclip.. if you need help i can walk you thru it on gtalk. just pm me for me gtalk. otherwise. goodluck and yes the 3.14.605.5 ControlBear version is the correct one just lock your bootloader, run the full ruu agan( 4.03.605.2), flash amonRA, then flash this in recovery (https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0ZJtM40GdJ0MEpGeG1ZWi0yNDA/edit) to gain root on stock global, download root checker from the app store to be sure you got root before you begin. then boot phone and check usb debugging, connect your phone to the comp(within the stock rom), start control bear.. make sure to back up EVERYTHING as it could all get wiped. (internal sd, external sd, and your nandroid if you so choose) i reccemend using a spare sd card if you have one.. ive only done my phone but it took me all of 2 trys.. i got weird errors a couple times (other than "error: still sober" got that once) if you do just run control bear again
Thanks for the responses and moral support folks!
Collin, I may have to hit you up for that assistance soon, I'd rather be safe then sorry so I might feel better if I have someone to "hold my hand"
May not get around to it til Sat afternoon or Sunday though.

I'm working with the same situation as the OP. You posted a link to a second recovery to flash after Amon Ra, I've tried that link and it forces me to request access. Which recovery is it and is there another link or are you able to give me access to that one?
Hey guys.
I am a complete newb with most this stuff.
I am not sure how I look at RUU I have. I will say that my phone was pretty much stock through the official ICS release.
Currently I have CM9 flashed as my rom.
Is there anyway I can S-OFF my phone?

If you haven't already, I would say start by checking out unlimited.io They have all the basic details about how to achieve S-OFF. Without knowing more specifics about your setup it would be hard someone to give a more specific answer.

Yea I have went there.
I have the program downloaded. I am on Gray's CM9 rom.
Followed all the instructions. When the program runs it goes like this:
Starting up....
Connecting to device....
Searching device.....
Found device......
Backing up.....
Permission denied.....
Transferring backups....
Secondary backup FAILED!!
Press ENTER to exit.
like I said my phone was stock till the official ICS update released. After that I unlocked the boot loader and just recently flashed my first rom, through Amon Ra.
If I could kindly ask you what info you need, and possibly how to access the info, to help me out. Do I need to flash a stock rom back?
---------- Post added at 08:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:29 PM ----------
I hope to god my hboot was stock. As I am running a previous RUU.
Hopefully once I do this, I will be able to S-OFF.

If you're able to flash back to stock that would be the best place to start for S-OFF

I flashed back to the first ICS RUU.
I think I know why it said permission denied. Because I didn't have actual root access.
At the point of trying the wire trick.
Edit: Achieved S-OFF. Thanks so much guys. Going from 3 days ago of flashing my first rom. To having to relock the device, run the first ICS Ruu, then doing the wire trick. Hell of a learning curve on these things. Thanks everyone for all the help.
Just a quick update. I was able to achieve S-Off while using this specific RUU. It took a few time flashing the RUU and a rooted rom to finally get it but it is possible with this RUU.

Fwiw I also was able to go s-off using this ruu and flashing supersu from a temporary amon ra. Not as tough as it thought.

Did you put the Juopunutbear executable and files into the same folder
that Android fastboot, adb, and other files are located?

It shouldn't matter. ControlBear has its own versions of everything it needs.

So this is what i've done and its failing with the error: "Secondary backup FAILED!!"
-I reset everything by using the RUU 4.03.605.2.
-I then set the debugging mode, unlocked the bootloader
-Put AmonRa3.15 as my recovery
-Flashed the CWM SuperSU.
-Confirmed root access by using TitaniumBackup.
-Started the ControlBearRelease_vigor_ICS_3.14.605.5 for the ICS leak process.
-Then I get the fun error Secondary backup FAILED!!.
I'm using the latest version of JuopunutBear 0.4. Help?
-------------update---------------
So I re-flashed the full RUU and went through all the steps and still same outcome. "Secondary backup Failed!". I read that only version .1 may work if this error occurs?

you can try backing up your sd cards and partition them before you start the control bear process, and your sure you have root access correct? via rootchecker, tatanium backup or somethin gand usb degugging checked? if your still having issues look for apophis' thread named "so you need assistance, WE ARE HERE TO HELP" post in that thread im sure he can help you walk thru it..
When I bought my rezound used it had a constant boot loop issue. That's why I got it fairly cheap. I immediayly ran the global ruu hoping it would boot. It still boot looped. I was able to unlock, flash recovery and install newts xxx. I have tried to boot other romsand they give me issues too. Is there any way I can s off in my current configuration because I am pretty confident another ruu from my sd card just won't boot. Has anyone had success being on a custom Rom w global firmware hboot 2.27?

Shoot me a PM if you need some help, no question is a dumb question so take your time and hit me up with anything you're not real sure about.
I'm guessing if you had problems it's either because of drivers, or you had like the gingerbread firmware and hboot and an ICS rom and patch, because that causes jp bear to look at your phone and say "WTF"
