Can't flash Amon Ra? - HTC Rezound

Unlocked, amon ra installed, s-off, did not install jbear hboot with the s-off. hboot now shows locked w/ s-off. Updated firmware with 3.14 leak Ruu, ran Ruu twice.
I want to reflash Amon Ra so I can flash scott's rom, however it fails when pushed through adb.
Ive read not to unlock again after s-off.. but it appears I need to unlock to be able to put Amon Ra on.
One thing I find strange, is it appears I currently do not have a recovery.. When I go through bootloader to get into recovery I get a black screen with a phone and green arrow, that turns into a red ! mark. To get out of this, I have to do a battery pull.
Any help here?

You you need the modified hboot from jbear.
Go here. Use the vigor ICS and follow the instructions at the bottom of the page.

Or you will have to use the ph file to flash in hboot as the locked stock one won't take fastboot commands

Thanks for the quick reply.
After reading scotts thread in the dev section, I should be able to push Amon to my phone as an img through hboot, right? Or do I still need the modified hboot from jbear? I'm leary of adb'ing an hboot to my phone, as I want to stay as close to factory as I can, so an easy ruu can be done when the OTA becomes available.

This is what I want to do. Do you have a link to the ph of Amon?
I found a PH linked in scotts thread in the dev section, but I'm unsure of exactly whats in that PH file.
Here is the link I am referring to:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/zoh4bb6onniqndh/PH98IMG.zip

I got Amon up and running. Found a dropbox link on scotts forums, and flashed it as a ph file.
thanks for the help above guys.

Flashing RUU returns to out-of-the-box stock?

I'm struggling with all the terminology and methods with flashing. Basically I just wanted root, so I read several different guides and got a rooted status and managed to install the Amon Ra recovery. However my bootloader (also called HBOOT - is that correct?) shows tampered / unlocked now. Basically, I want to flash back to the most current build and try again.
Would the link on the Android Police forums to download RUU 4.03.605.2 be latest Verizon build as if it were fresh out of the box?
I checked on the wiki, but didn't see anything for the Rezound there.
Also, to use this utility, I relock my bootloader using HTCDev and then move this zipped file to my sd card and reboot to the bootloader either using adb or the power + volume down, correct? It will see the zip file and begin flashing or do I run an executable from my PC with the phone connected? I'm not S-Off because I figured that is way above my head at this point.
I appreciate any help anyone can offer.
The tampered just means you have a custom recovery like Amon Ra installed.

If I want to load that RUU, do I have to relock my bootloader? Will I be able to load the file from the Android Police forum without being S-OFF since I've rooted and loaded a recovery?

Having S-OFF negates the need to relock your bootloader.
You should be able to flash the "RUU" zip file with your phone in its current condition.
If you do some research in this section in the S-OFF threads, you'll get some good info about not re locking after s-off.
Re-locking is only necessary if you don't have s-off.

to reinstall the RUU, first make sure you have fastboot on your PC and your phone is in the fastboot menu of the bootloader and connected to your PC. It should say "fastboot USB". (If you don't have the HTC drivers installed, download HTC Sync 3.0 and that should install it. I haven't gotten it to work on Windows 8 so if you use Windows 8 use these drivers)
Open a command prompt, change the directory to where your fastboot.exe is (example: cd c:\fastboot_directory). Type in 'fastboot oem lock'. Your phone will restart, then boot up. Turn it off, reboot to the bootloader and make sure it says *RELOCKED* on the top. Then, go back to fastboot and in your cmd window, type in 'fastboot oem rebootRUU'. Your phone will reboot and show a black screen with a grey HTC logo. Copy the RUU (doesn't matter if it's named PH98IMG.zip or something else) into the same folder as fastboot.exe and type in 'fastboot flash zip ruu_zip_name.zip' (obviously replacing ruu_zip_name.zip with the zip's actual name). The terminal will start sending the zip and details will be displayed on your computer screen. Your phone will also have a progress bar. Once the terminal on your computer says it's finished, you can reboot your phone.
I am currently S-On, unlocked, running Newts One XXX with the Global OTA (4.03.605) Sense 4 Kernel. I would now like to get the 4.03.605.2 firmware installed. Would the procedure described above work for my situation or is there another method I can use.
My next leap is to go S-off but for now I would just like to get the firmware updated before reflashing Newts.
Thanks in advance.
Yes, you can use the above method fine. However, going S-Off is very easy. It seems like a daunting task, but if you read the directions thoroughly it is very easy. I used the .5 version of Juopunutbear and it worked without a hitch. You are already unlocked and rooted, so if you S-Off, you won't have to do it all over again. From there you can flash the RUU, flash a FLASHABLE version of AR 3.15, then reflash any rom that you want. You will only get the benefit from global with roms that are built aroung the .2 base, but you will get updated radios. I haven't honestly noticed much of a difference with the new radios though.

After locking bootloader(cuz your s-on) rename the ruu you downloaded from android police To PH98IMG put on your sd return sd phone boot into bootloader run update, if it stops and powers off mid update remove battery and start it again, It flashed the hboot first then you gotta go back In And finish the update.

Also to avoid any problems do a factory reset in hboot after update is installed. Being that we're s-on when we re-unlock it does it for us but I've heard some people are having problems after the ruu if they didn't FDR while on stock recovery.. just a heads up

Just to clarify: when you reboot using "adb reboot" or power + volume down, are you booting into the bootloader or hboot? I've read the guides but still a little confused there.
Also, what does the stock recovery do versus something like Amon Ra? Does the stock recovery allow for creating backups and what-not? Sorry to be a total noob here. I can bake cookies or something for you all for your help, hehe.

The bootloader is the hboot. You power on holding vol down to get there.
The stock recovery does not allow you to create backups, or do much at all I'm pretty sure. That is why we have custom ones.

Sorry that you never got an answer to this. Yes, you should flash both recovery (stock) and the RUU as PH98IMG zip files. Wait to start this process until you have a pc/sd card reader available. Trying this without those basic tools is going to make this a frustrating process for you.

[Q] Did i brick my phone? Help please!

Yesturday, my phone was running kinda slow, so i restarted it. It then got stuck on the white HTC screen and would not get off that. I have clock work on my s-on rooted phone running CleanRom 4.5 ICS. After trying to restore in clockwork i keep getting unable to write to the cache error. Thinking that clockwork was bad i decided to catch back up and flash to the Amon-ra per instructions from a previous post ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31467041#post31467041). It has failed now. I can't get into any hboot now. I just get a blank screen and have to pull battery. Also, my phone does not show up in 'adb devices' anymore. Any suggestions?
Are you holding volume (down) + power after a battery pull to try and get into bootloader?

OK so your not bricked. From bootloader you will need to click on fastboot and flash the Amon ra recovery img from your pc. Are you on ICS or GB firmware? I could make you a flashable PH98IMG of Amon Ra.

Download this: http://db.tt/Eg2Q2M4A
Rename it PH98IMG.zip and place it on the root of your sdcard.
Reboot into bootloader and you will get prompted to flash recovery. Confirm and you should be now able to get into Amon Ra.

So i did not get prompted to load the update. It just loaded it. However, it still will not go into Amon-ra. I scroll to the recovery option and hit the power button then a quick HTC screen and then blankness, just like my feelings every time i try to fix my phone oh sad day...
Am i still on GB firmware maybe? I know i tried to flash to the ICS firware when i loaded CleanRom 4.5 ICS on it a couple of months ago. Maybe it didn't take?
It should have prompted you to hit vol up to accept. Try once again and tell me what it does exactly if possible. Worst case you can pull the recovery img from that file and flash it with fastboot.
Also,
I'd recommend flash the new global RUU and keep up to date with development. This community has been on a roll as of late with development, so I'm sure you would like to take advantage of that.

I turn it on and get the hboot menu for a second then it starts trying to read files (this text is green). It finds the PH98IMG file and then it "parses" it. Once done parsing it goes back to the hboot menu screen of: FASTBOOT-FACTORY RESET-CLEAR STORAGE-SIMLOCK-IMAGECRC
How do you pull the img file and flash with fastboot? I should say, i can pull the img file. How do you flash with fastboot?
Honestly, i think your better off starting the slate clean and flashing the latest RUU. When you boot into bootloader, does it say S-On or S-Off on top. If it says S-On are you locked or unlocked?

You need to relock your bootloader to flash an RUU
Since your S-On you need to re lock your bootloader with fastboot, same way you unlocked via HTC dev. Instead you will use:
fastboot oem lock
in command prompt
Download the latest RUU from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1757357
Check first page, third post. You'll find a link for the latest RUU. Download it and flash it within your bootloader. (Rename it to PH98IMG.zip and place on root of SD)
You'll have to unlock bootloader once again when the RUU is complete.

[Q] Questions after S-Off, where did I mess up?

Thanks in advance for any help. I know there are a ton of posts about issues like this, but it seems the more I read the more confused I get. Anyway, if someone can help clarify my situation that would be great.
I just got a Rezound after about 18 months with a Thunderbolt and the steps to root and s-off are obviously different. I rooted using the "Scottys noob friendly guide" and that went well. Next, I attempted to get S-off using Control Bear and the wire trick. After several attempts I got the wire trick timing correct, was no longer sober! Then here is where I think things got screwed up. The Control Bear program did not ask if I wanted to install a custom hboot it just sort of started running on its own. I let it do its thing, the phone rebooted into Hboot and it now reads:
***TAMPERED***
***LOCKED***
VIGOR PUT SHIP S-OFF RL
H-BOOT-2.25.000
RADIO-1.22.10.0421r/1.22.10.0424R
OpenDSP-v13.6.0.7611.00.0104
eMMC-boot
Apr 12 2012, 16:47:46
Long story short I do not believe that Control Bear successfully installed the custom hboot. I can no longer fastboot boot or flashboot flash a revovery image (recovery-ra-vigor-3.15-gnm). I am able to boot into the stock ROM, I am still rooted, I am S-off, but without being able to flash/install a revovery image I cannot flash anything. I feel like I am stuck. I thought going S-off and rooted would give me total freedom with the phone.
When I run the command "fastboot boot recovery-ra-vigor-3.15-gnm.img" here is what I get:
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 1.411s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 1.413s
Before I went through these steps I did not read anywhere that going S-off would relock hboot/bootloader to a point that I would not be able to flash anything.
Where did I go wrong? What did I miss?
One solution seems to point towards manually installing the custom JB hboot, but at this point I do not want to haphazardly make any more changes that could potentially leave me with a brick.
Here are my questions:
How do I install a recovery now that I am LOCKED, S-OFF, & ROOTED?
Will flashing the custom JB hboot at this point fix my problem or leave me with a brick?
I own the the phone, it is never going in for a warranty issue, so the TAMPERED flag does not bother me. I would just like to be ale to install AR recovery and go on my happy crack-flashing way. Any help or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!
You will have to unlock the bootloader to flash a recovery still.
Or you can flash a custom hboot that will allow you to use fastboot commands while locked. That's what the jbear hboot does. Just make sure you flash the jbear hboot version that matches your current hboot version.

There is a link in this thread with an hboot flashable zip of amon ra. You didn't do anything wrong. The juopunutbear method has a locked hboot, so fastboot flashing is a no go. You can use a hex edited 2.27 hboot by vinyl freak so you can regain fastboot flashing, but it's pretty unnecessary once you s-off.

Hey Thanks everybody for responding so quickly!
OK, just so I understand things correctly:
1) I can put the latest amon ra PH98IMG.zip on the root of my sd card, boot into bootloader, let it do its thing, then I will then have a working recovery that I can use to flash, backup, etc?
2) I do not need to update a custom hboot, but I can if I want and should cause no ill effects to my phone? For example follow the direction on the Unlimited.IO website for flashing thier custom hboot?
3) My radios are outdated? That stinks. Assurion just sent me this Rezound brand new and in the box a few days ago to replace a replacement Tbolt that went bad. It was running ICS, but you say the radios are old. Hmm, could you suggest an RUU that I should run and do I simply rename the RUU PH98IMG.zip, but it on the root of my SD card, bootloader and let it update? Seems straight forward enough. The way i understand it flashing an RUU will not remove S-off, but will it remove root and will I then have to unlock again through HTCdev?

here is a website that has all the RUU for the rezound http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Vigor
yes, the ones with zip in the title can been put on the SD card as "PH98IMG.zip" and it will update everything. The ones listed on that website as "EXE" are run through windows while your computer is tethered to phone.
yes flash a RUU will not remove S-off, but will remove root and replace Hboot and recovery with stock

2) I do not need to update a custom hboot, but I can if I want and should cause no ill effects to my phone? For example follow the direction on the Unlimited.IO website for flashing thier custom hboot?
3) My radios are outdated? That stinks. Assurion just sent me this Rezound brand new and in the box a few days ago to replace a replacement Tbolt that went bad. It was running ICS, but you say the radios are old. Hmm, could you suggest an RUU that I should run and do I simply rename the RUU PH98IMG.zip, but it on the root of my SD card, bootloader and let it update? Seems straight forward enough. The way i understand it flashing an RUU will not remove S-off, but will it remove root and will I then have to unlock again through HTCdev?

1. Yes. However, I would recommend TWRP recovery. Amon Ra is also great though, so if you have any doubts about using a different recovery, stay with AR for now.
2. Here are some hboots based on the latest release. The only difference between them and stock is that they say different things at the top instead of Locked. After you flash the RUU, flash the one you choose as PH98IMG.zip through bootloader, just like you flashed the RUU.
3. Here is the latest RUU. The method you described for flashing it is correct, but to be safe, you can do it twice. The RUU will replace your hboot and your recovery, and thereby remove root. It will also wipe your internal memory, so back it up if you keep anything there. You will not need to unlock with HTCDev - you will never need to do that once you're S-Off. After you flash the RUU, you will only need to flash the unlocked hboot to re-unlock your bootloader (step 2), and then flash the recovery (step 1). Then, from recovery, you can flash ROMs, kernels, mods, etc.

Would you please clarify one more question?
My current hboot version is HBOOT-2.25.000 and my firmware version is 3.14.605.12 71ORD. Does this mean I would need to to install JB ICS 3.14.605.5 HBOOT - 2.25.2525?
Thanks again.

Yes that is the right JuopunutBear HBOOT if you want to install it. But you dont really need it.
And after a second look of your radio and firmware, you do have the latest over the air release, only thing newer is the Global RUU...PH98IMG_ICS_4.03.605.2.zip
If I was you, I would just flash the recovery, to get root
Thanks for the help folks. I have succesfully reinstalled AR recovery now going to try to flash my first ROM as S-Off!

You're absolutely right. The radios that he has are from the ICS ota. That was my fault. The newest radios are from the unofficial global leak.

Glad you got it working. Happy flashing!
Yeah, All is good. Recovery installed and a newly flashed CM9! Had been waiting forever for ICS to come to my old Tbolt and now that I have the Rezound this is sweet sweet butter... I am really looking forward to learning what this phone is all about and flashing all of these ROMS, that may be old news for a lot of you all, but are brand new to me!
Thanks again.

How do I get back to latest Rezound OTA ROM?

I need to get back to the latest stock update for the rezound. I'm on the infection ROM right now and just need to get back to the latest rezound ota. Are there any ota ROMs w root out? I dont want to have to re root again but I wanna be back on the latest ota w/ just root. Also, will I need to lock my phone again to do this?
One last thing, how can I update to the latest firmware/ hboot/kernel/radio etc. Pretty much want to return to the latest ota leak for the rezound even if its not official and then I'd like to update my hboot,radio, kernel, etc to the latest out.
Sorry for any typos I'm extremely busy at work trying to sneak this in. Thx for the help guys.

Follow the instructions in this post:

That will get you updated to the latest and back to stock.
Then you can unlock again, flash a recovery and reroot and remain on stock ROM with a custom recovery and rooted.

What hboot/radio level are you at now?
For a good Sense 3.6 rom, I'd suggest Ineffabilis Deus v1.2, gives you that stock feel with tweaks available.
You can run the global RUU from here: http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ull-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/ You will need to re-lock if you are s-on.
You can run NilsP Business Sense 3.6 if you want a mostly stock ROM without bloat. I'd suggest restoring a nandroid from the OTA if you have it (I don't keep many nandroids, but that ICS OTA is the one I kept).
Here is the stock ICS OTA: http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...cream-sandwich-ruu-for-final-ota-3-14-605-12/ You will also have to be s-off or re-locked to flash this.
Sorry if I've repeated information posted by anybody previously. That was never my intent. I just hope this helps.

so before i do anything i just want to understand a few things. im currently on a jellybean rom, infection. to get back to the latest ota i just flash the latest ruu which is 4.03.605.2? will i have any issues being s-off or being on a jb rom? and the once i get back onto 4.03 will i need to unlock using the htc website and then root again? and then my last question is, once im back to the lastest stock rom how do i update my firmware/radio/hboot, etc.? I'm just confused on what steps to take and in what order?

If you are s-off your phone should say "locked" and you can just run the RUU. Running that updates all the firmware, radios etc... and so you'll be on the latest stock and locked at that point. Run it twice and let it do its thing until it reboots so it gets all the system files.
Since you are s-off I don't think you will need to unlock again, check what the phone says in hboot as far as *tampered* *unlocked* *s-off* etc... you should confirm that with someone who is s-off.
(if you still have the unlock token you can use it again if you ever need to. Keep it handy so you'll always have it when you need it. I keep mine in the folder I use on my pc for fastboot.)
After you unlock you flash a custm recovery and root from within the recovery if you want to flash another ROM. Or use one of the tools, I've never used any of them.
I think you're good with this RUU for jb. It's the latest and I don't think anyone has anything later than that. I don't use a jb ROM so you may want to confirm that with someone who does.

You're s-off. Going s-off relocks the phone because s-off is better than unlocked. You can just flash the RUU.
I recommend against unlocking once you're s-off, because if you try to relock it yourself outside of the s-off process, it will say "relocked" instead of "locked. You can either flash a recovery through a PH98IMG.zip, or you can flash a hex edited hboot to allow extended fastboot commands.

OK so I just ruu and it will bring me back to stock. I then flash amonra 3.16 using the IMG.zip to get recovery on my phone.
(how do I flash the zip since recovery will not be on my phone yet? Do I just use the rezounds recovery to flash it?)
Then once amonra is installed I now root by installing su and superuser from the options in recovery.
Is that it, now I'm on the latest rezound stock w root? Am i still soff too, I don't need to do the wire trick to get soff again?
Oh and flashing that ruu will update me to the latest hboot and radio, correct?

Yes.
If you just want to stay stock and rooted then just run the RUU, flash recovery and root. You should still be s-off and ready to flash a custom ROM if you end up choosing to.

As long as you have a flashable zip of AR 3.15 you're good. All you have to do is rename it PH98IMG.zip (make sure you don't name it .zip.zip) and flash in your bootloader. Here is a link for an already packaged recovery zip: http://www.teambamf.net/topic/3737-bootloader-update-recovery-files-amon-ra-315-and-cwm-touch/ No need to do the wire trick again. Yes, you will be on the newest hboot and radios.

[Q] Going S-OFF from an updated HBOOT

So, I have a dilemma. I am currently S-ON running TACHYON 1.2 (Android 4.3)
HBOOT 2.28.0000
Radio 2.23.10.0123/4
I updated the hboot and radio while S-ON. Now, I've decided I'd like to go S-OFF. According to JuopunutBear I need to be on a stock RUU for their S-OFF to work. I tried running the newest ICS RUU a few weeks ago and found that it would just error out when it was checking the file because the radios and hboot on the phone were newer than the ones on the RUU. Can I step backwards in HBOOT versions whlie S-ON or have I kind of screwed myself? Or is there a better option I haven't thought about?
Thanks
Just install a stock Rom to run s-off program. You are on a stock hboot, so no problem there.

It's a stock hboot, yes. But the RUU won't run because it is an older version hboot.
You need s-off to downgrade. Just install a stock based Rom that is rooted and run s-off procedure. You will have no issues. After s-off if you want, you can ruu
Sent from my DNA using my mind.
Step 1 from Unlimited: Verify - You are on Stock RUU (not FreshROM, Stock Rooted, HarmonyROM - none of these will work!)
They say not to be rooted or anything. What difference does it make?
Also, what do you mean by "stock rom"? Is there a stock rom I can install that is not an RUU? (maybe that's a dumb question but I don't know lol)

A stock rooted RUU would work. I was in your predicament once. First, do a nandroid backup then use this guide it'll get you to s-off. If you want to downgrade, then use this guide to accomplish this.
Thanks guys for the help. Installed the rom listed in the guide and it worked great. S-OFF now!! (Took me long enough...I've had the phone for 2 years!)
It installed JuopunutBear's hboot but whatever. I'd probably rather stick with a stock hboot but I can do that later.
Restored my nandroid backup and I'm back up and running like I never left.
Just flash this ROM and boot image, and you should be able to S-OFF, I can't remember if stock recovery is needed but that can be flashed separately as well if needed, but I don't think it is.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2260154
So, All was well until I decided to flash the stock hboot back to the phone. I put the file on the sd card and renamed it ph98img.zip and flashed it in fastboot. It said it was successful and that I was running hboot 2.28 and radio 2.23.10.0123/4. Then I rebooted and it hung up at the white screen with green htc logo. I pulled the battery and rebooted holding the power and volume buttons. It booted to fastboot so I tried a few things. I tried flashing a recovery but it said that remote was not allowed and failed. Then I tried opening the recovery I already had on the phone from fastboot and it gave me the software download icon. Nothing happened so I pulled the battery and tried to boot back to fastboot. This time it wouldn't even get to fastboot. The white screen with HTC logo comes up and then the screen goes blank. Then the software download icon comes up and then shortly there after a red triangle with an exclamation point takes its place.
That went downhill fast! Any suggestions?
EDIT: Pulling the SD card allows me to get back into fastboot! But I'm still not sure what to do. Is it because my bootloader is locked?

In fastboot does it say s-off? Try manually flashing the boot.img by extracting it. If you haven't setup enviroment variable for fastboot put the boot.img in the same directory as fastboot.exe and use command prompt by typing
Code:
cd C:\Android\platform-tools (or wherever it is for you)
Then type
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
I was able to put an RUU on another sd card and flash that. So now I'm on ICS 4.03.605.2 and running. But I still haven't solved my recovery problems.
According to this thread: androidforums.com/rezound-all-things-root/550408-s-off-guide-info-return-stock.html
I can either use juopunutbear's hboot (which I just flashed over the top of) to flash a new recovery or I can compile a recovery in a ph98img file (which I don't know how to do or want to do).
My question is: What happens if I unlock my bootloader while S-OFF? (Yes, it says s-off on the bootloader screen.) Will that solve my problem or do I have to go back to juopunutbear's hboot?

You can unlock when S-OFF, but there is no reason to, you can get a PH98img.zip of CWM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1914215 or TWRP here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1902381 and just copy it to your sd card (remember to name it exactly PH98IMG.zip, beware the Windoze "double zip" issue) then pop it in the phone, boot into Hboot with the USB disconnected and it should recognize it and flash either CWM or TWRP. from there you can flash ANYTHING you want, being S-OFF with custom recovery allows you to flash anything, no fastboot commands required.
Also, since you are S-OFF, your Hboot is mostly irrelevant, but should be the matching version to your radios... an engineered hboot (like Juopunutbears) would allow fastboot commands well locked, but fastboot isn't generally needed once S-OFF has been obtained...

I can either use juopunutbear's hboot (which I just flashed over the top of) to flash a new recovery or I can compile a recovery in a ph98img file (which I don't know how to do or want to do).
My question is: What happens if I unlock my bootloader while S-OFF? (Yes, it says s-off on the bootloader screen.) Will that solve my problem or do I have to go back to juopunutbear's hboot?

and what recovery problems are you having....flashing an hboot will not give you a recovery...and an ruu is an exe file not a ph98img file...those are OTA's.....if you need pure stock i can easily help you obtain it....i just need to know what exactly your trying to achieve

Hey REV3NT3CH,
So, thanks to the help of so many in these parts, including you, I now think I'm S-Off and I'm very interested in bringing my phone up to the latest, completely stock OTA ROM. Can you help me with that?
Thanks!
cheers,
john
