I'm stuck at the bootloading screen on my Rezound, and I'm lost as to what to do. I was attempting to load the new RUU on my device but obviously, something went wrong. I believe I renamed the wrong file to PH98IMG.zip and screwed something up. I have tried to push the correct RUU file through ADB, but I can't get my device to show up. Is there a way to access my sd card so I can put the correct RUU file on my device?
Micro sd > sd adapter > USB card reader.
Or put your sd card into another phone and download the correct ph98img.zip file
Thanks. I was wondering if there was a way to access the sd card from the bootloader menu, but I guess I'll have to go out and buy a sd card reader tomorrow. Now I just hope I didn't permanently mess anything up by flashing a ROM file as PH98IMG.zip.
If you can get to bootloader it is recoverable
Ok, try this, while connected to a pc. Pull out sd card & battery while in hboot. Go to fastboot and make sure you got fasboot usb showing. Unlock bootloader(unless your on eng hboot or patched jb's hboot), download AmonRA 3.15 renamed to recovery.img, then do "fastboot boot recovery.img", but before pushing enter. Replace battery and sd card.
That will get you to where you can access the external SD card with its USB mounting.

You have not run a RUU. There is no RUU for ICS yet. A RUU is a Rom Update UTILITY (meaning, it is in the form of an EXE file run from a PC with the phone connected; and it does quite a bit more than a simply PKxxxx.zip flashover file).
Oddly, if you actually had a RUU, it would probably solve your problem.

It's amazing how many people do not know the difference between ruu and bootloader images.....

Nice try.
PH98IMG.zip is contained within the RUU.exe....when extracted it is named Rom.zip. this file contains everything found in the PH98IMG.zip we flash in the bootloader.We just rename it it to the ph98img.zip
however, it is still an image file. It needs to be flashed, either the Utility, fastboot, or bootloader.
Without the image the Rom Updater Utility would be useless.
What ever name you want to call a ph98img...is still an image file.
But the post was good reading but still does not mean you proved a point or proved me wrong. or that it is not an image file.
Note: this post is not trying to say anyone is wrong.....

I was on your side!!!
Anyway, there are 3, and only 3, RUU's for the Rezound:

Can't seem to get anyone to understand that; but like I said, its a losing battle.
If there WERE actually a RUU, I would gladly run it, because then that would properly replace all part of my GB install with ICS. Flashing this PHxxxx.zip image, will not do so (hence the need for the "old firmware fix").

What parts are you saying do not get replaced? I flashed the new leak yesterday specifically to upgrade from the gb firmware and it works fine without a patch. I'm running Nils ICS Business 3.4.
Just wondering.

i am stuck in the bootloader and cant get out. adb wont see it but i can see it in device manager. i f-ed my phone up so i relocked and ran the latest GB ruu and it failed and now i am stuck in the bootloader. it does say fastboot usb. any help would be great
Figure I'd try posting here, rather than start up a new thread. I tried looking for my specific problem but couldn't find it. Anyway, new to HTC and Rezound, coming from a rooted Droid X, so I'm familiar with flashing roms. My Rezound is completely stock.
I downloaded the most current ICS leak, RUU_Vigor_3.14.605.10. I put it on the root of my sd card, renamed it, and held power and down button. The phone loads the PH98IMG.zip for a few minutes, then proceeds to checking the PH98IMG.zip for a few minutes. After this is all done, I'm on the bootloader screen. Where to go from here? I thought the phone should have automatically rebooted? I clicked fastboot, then restart, which just brings me back to GB. I'm obviously missing an easy step here. Do I go into recovery, or somewhere else?
Thanks in advance guys. I hate being the new guy, late to the party.
Seemed to have figured it out. Had to re-download the leak on a different computer, and now my phone is updating itself. Weird. Finally get my hands on ICS.

I've flashed a couple PH98IMG.zips and they were for different things on my phone. one was a splashscreen and the other was an update (ICS Update to be exact). now isn't that supposed to be an RUUs job? to update the phone? there are a couple ways to update the phone, one being a new leaked stock rom through recovery, and another through hboot with a PH98IMG file.
Gotta take the phone back to Sprint and I know they're not gonna like that it's rooted.
I haven't seen a guide yet on how to Unroot.
Any help?
I have it rooted and HTC Unlocked. S is still ON. TWRP recovery.
What do I need to do before I take it back to them?
Run ruu that matches your current hboot.

The RUU means OTA, right?
If so, I already tried flashing it thru TWRP and it didn't work.
If not, I just downloaded it. How do I run it?
Edit: I just watched a video on how to rub it using ADB, which is USUALLY no problem.. but I'm helping my brother do this over the phone who lives 700+ miles away from me and he has no idea how to do anything to do with phones.
So is there an easy way to run the RUU for even the biggest phone n00bs?
none
you put it on your sd-card, boot the phone to h-boot, make sure you get the right ruu for your bootloader, you will want to boot into BL and get that, then google it, I have seen these RUU's so I know there out there.
Download the right one, put it on the sd card, then when you boot into BL it will automatically grab it and run it. DO NOT touch your phone while it's running, if it loses power, it will brick it.
Afterwards delete the ruu file off the SD Card
Piece a cake

Thank you. So does this mean I should rename it to P87MPG.zip or whatever it looks for when I put it on my SD Card?
NO, a ruu is an exe that you run from a windows pc that your phone is plugged into. If he is that noob then its prob the easiest way for him. If he has hboot 1.12, then dl the oldest one. If he has any other hboot then just run the newest since it won't matter at that point.

theres ruu that u can run on your pc and also ruu that u put on the root of your sdcard and flash through bootloader..

Thank you for the updated info.
How do I know which HBoot each of those belong to?
I believe he has HBoot1.15. So I can just run the latest one, which would be:
RUU_JEWEL_CL_ICS_40_S_Sprint_WWE_2.13.651.1_Radio_1.12.11.0809_NV_SPCS_2.45_003_release_277028_signed.exe
?
Tried running 2 RUU's and have the same problem on both.
Keep getting the "Error 155" which according to the "View Read Me" is:
ERROR [155~159]: IMAGE ERROR
One of these error messages will appear when you use the incorrect RUU to update and the image file size is larger than the Flash ROM size. In this case, download the correct RUU version and try again.
Any help?
EDIT:
Nvm I figured it out. I had to "fastboot oem lock" before running the RUU.
There are no clear instructions ANYWHERE on XDA on how to run the RUU's.
i am finally s-off thanks to Juopunutbear and unlimited.io......
i figured that i would try flashing from Juopunutbear 1.58.5858 hboot to eng 1.04 hboot....shockingly enough i was successful on the first attempt,,,
loaded the PG86IMG.zip file to the root of my sd card and went without a hitch....
i got brave and was gonna do another hboot,,so,,i renamed the the next file to PG86IMG.zip just like the last time and booted into fastboot and..........nothing,,,,,,,,,hmmmm,,,,so i tried again,,,and nothing,,,,,,thought i had a bad download so i downloaded from another source ...and nothing....
well,,i thought,,theres alot i can do with the eng 1.04 hboot so i decided to change my radio ,,,just to figure out how all this works,,,,downloaded the radio,,,renamed it to PG86IMG.zip,,,,,booted into fastboot and,,,,nothing,,the same as before.....so,,,all of a sudden my fastboot wont recognize the PG86IMG.zip files and i have no idea why....
any help would be greatly appreciated

Try flashing the PG86IMG.zip files via fastboot. There are instructions in this post.

i figured it out,,,,,,for a DOS guy i'm kinda proud of myself.....LOL
when you rename any hboot file or ruu file to <filename>.zip if you look at that files properties the actual file would be called ..
<filename>.zip.zip.....
because windows recognizes certain files without an extension so one isnt needed...
so i renamed my filename to just PG86IMG and didnt put an extension of .zip on it and put it in the root of my sd card and whalah......instant success
I'm currently stuck on HBoot 2.09. I know I need to be on 2.10 to update to 4.3 Sense 5, but my phone can't be recognized onto my laptop because I have Windows 8.1. I would get it on my own but it's been while and I don't know where or how to get it. If this helps, I'm running the stock rooted 3.17 and I am S-OFF.Just having trouble connecting to Fastboot USB.
The reason I need the HBoot is because I can't use the Hboot flash file because it's a different file name that can't be recognized.
Download the file at the bottom of this post and put it on your external SD card. Rename it PJ75IMG.zip (make sure you don't have an extra .zip extension on the file name). Once you've done this, reboot to the bootloader. The bootloader should automatically scan for the file. If not, select the bootloader option and follow the on-screen directions. Once the update completes you'll have the new firmware, HBOOT and recovery. You will then need to flash Captain's ROM. You will NOT be able to flash an older ROM (Sense 4, AOSP or older Sense 5 ports) once you've done this update. I recommend downloading his ROM and putting it on your SD card so you can flash it once you've updated everything. See Captain Throwback's Sense 5 ROM thread in Original Development for more info. The file below is from his ROM thread and is not my work.

Thank you, man! Much appreciated.
Hi Guys.
I have a S-ON Amaze 4G. Recently I tried installing another rom using 4EXT and messed something up. I think my partition tables are all messed up because the internal sdcard isn't being recognized. To make things worse I relocked my bootloader hoping to flash an RUU. Turns out my hboot is 1.93.002 and I can't flash Telus' stock RUU which is GB, it just doesn't work everytime I try it.
I can't S-OFF because i need the stock RUU as I understand. I also cannot unlock the bootloader as I tried on HTCDEVs site and it kept saying my identifier code was incorrect, so I am really confused now.
I basically have an S-ON, relocked HTC amaze with 4ext recovery, possibly corrupted partition tables, and no kernel/ROM properly loaded.
Any help?
Thanks!

Launch the fastboot to learn which img file it searches for, you know, ph85img.zip, or ph85001.zip, or what-have-you.
Get your proper RUU--it's gonna be GB or ICS, I think--you can look in the RUU section of "They're all here now" of the General forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1545464
Then rename your RUU to the appropriate "whicheverph8t.zip" is required and put it on your external SD card and reboot, something like here (and other places):
