After some headache, I installed Scotts ROM
[ROM / LEAK] 5/8 - Stock Rooted RUU 3.14.605.5 / Truly De-Odexed! / Root works
I read somewhere that the RUU had to be flashed twice and as the newb I am... I flashed it once.
My HBOOT is 2.11.0000
No idea what my radio is... It doesnt list it on the front of the bootloader menu.
Do I need to reflash? Should I rewipe?
I had 2 random reboots already.
I'm S-ON as well.

Do I have to be S-Off to get on ICS firmware?
Am I correct in assuming that any phone that ships with gingerbread will have a GB firmware until the day it dies, because of S-ON?

I'm chalking up the reboots to heat... I'm outside and was charging myphone while using it... I'm guessing it was over 115-120+ degrees. Plus there might be a non ICS compatible app in my phone, who knows.

No that is not the case. Here is the latest leaked RUU
Rename it to PH98IMG.zip and put it on your the root of your SD card. Make sure you don't rename it to PH98IMG.zip.zip. Windows hides the .zip extension.
Your bootloader needs to locked in fastboot.
Code:
fastboot oem lock
(Do this before you place the PH98IMG.zip on your sd card.)
reboot into hboot, it find the image and then update the bootloader. It will take a long long time.
Then boot back into hboot for it to make another pass, this will update the system to ICS.
Unlock the bootloader again
Install Amon Ra recovery.
Install Scotts rooted stock rom that you have on the phone currently.
Done.
Warning, running the RUU will ERASE your internal SD card, so if you have pictures, video, music you want to keep, move it to your PC before you run the RUU.

I ran the Gingerbread patch he included in the directions....
before rooting, flashing roms, and attempting s-off,
read up as much as you can so you know what to do when you get stuck.
there are some very extensive tutorials that people have spent a long time making as noob-friendly as possible.

After flashing the Rom... My phone restarted twice in 24 hours... Might have been a compatibility issue with an app... Who knows.
What advantage do I really have going to ICS firmware, is that for the new radios?

I find that I get better signal, but that may be subjective. My battery temperature is noticable lower though.
If you are going to update the firmware, you mifht as well S-Off. Use the GB S-Off, then flash this:

Copy ROM to SD Card AND PH98IMG.zip to ROOT of SD Card
Reboot to recovery
wipe data / Factory Reset
Flash ROM
Use Developer Menu to reboot to bootloader and flash the boot.img file in the PH98IMG.zip
Reboot
Profit!
How do I get to the developer Menu with that ZIP file on the SD card, won't it just try to update and give me no way out of that process?

i am currently running an ICS rom and need to return mine for another device since it is defected.
Can i just htcdev LOCK then flash the ruu renamed as PH98IMG.zip to get back to stock?
You can do that cause I think ruu is different than just flashing stock. I had an og evo and I flashed the stock and I still had s-off so best advice make sure there is an s-on utility for ur device then use the ruu to return to stock

That will work fine. You can also relock then run the RUU on a windows PC, but pretty much the same thing will be accomplished.
i flashed back to gb then did waht i stated in the op and all it did was lock me in the bootloader and now my phone is stuck no matter what it do.

Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
I'm no expert but I think (if you made a Nandroid) you can extract the boot.img from the Nandroid then flash it and restore your stock Backup. I would also wipe / factory reset in recovery.
If you don't have a Nandroid backup you can download the RUU or a boot.img from a Rom like Scott's GB ROM and use one of those after you extract the boot.img.
I just did this today, I first flashed back to a gingerbread rom, then i unzipped the ruu and took the boot_signed.img from it, renamed it to boot than flashed it from fastboot. Then I put the ruu zip on my memory card (renamed it to ph98img) and fastboot OEM locked the device. I then rebooted the bootloader and applied the update.

I got it from scottsroms.com, I just downloaded the zip file in the ruu section, as for reverting back to a gingerbread Rom, I'm sure anyone of them would work (scotts clean rom has always done me well). I only say that because once you flash the boot image, your ics rom won't boot, so you can't place the ruu on the memory card, unless you have another way to mount your sd card to the computer (i.e. adapter, or another phone)

I believe all you have to do is pick the rom you want, install it and your good. The majority of them automatically takes you to hboot to flash the kernal, but not all of them, so make sure you read the instructions before you flash.

Wait I thought even if you relocked the bootloader it said "relocked" or something at the top so Verizon could tell no matter what. That's the only reason i haven't unlocked yet because i just got a new device and want to make sure there are no bugs with it.

I wondered this as well. Most csr's don't seem to be as knowledgeable as the people here on xda. They also don't seem to have a lot of knowledge on particular devices besides the obvious specs. I really don't think anyone is going to boot into fastboot to see it's been relocked, or even know what that means.
I'm gonna gamble with it, I'm tired of the noise coming from the headphone Jack whenever I play music.

I just spoke with a Verizon tech on the phone last night, he told me that simply unlocking the phone would NOT void the warranty considering HTC is allowing it via their website. However he did say that any rooting/roms would void it immediately (if they can detect it of course).
So basically just put it back to stock and you are good?

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!!!!

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.

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.

3.14 but I am having problems with this setup.
It boots right into the ROM, but the second I slide up the unlock slide the phone shuts down & restarts (100% of the time). Then, it just keeps bootlooping from then on.... It did this the very first boot when I took it out of the shipping box.
I can get into recovery by holding down the vol and power button, but recovery doesn't recognize the card at all (even though it works fine in my other phone/PC etc etc)
Is the phone defective??

Ok so I used to have a rezound with an unlocked bootloader and the ViperRez Rom installed on it. I upgraded to a Galaxy S3 and sold my Rezound. A week or so ago my S3 took a crap so I purchased another Rezound off Craigslist. I want to gain root again and install a stable Rom. Can someone point me toward a guide that can walk me through this? I wasn't sure if the guides I have been reading were for a rezound that was still running gingerbread or ics or if the guide would apply to a rezound that was running either one. Also, if anyone can recommend a very stable rom I could install that would be great. I'm also tempted to try the trick to gain s-off but I'm a lil afraid to do that. I read somewhere that a paperclip can be used in place of the wire. Is this true? If so, ill give it a shot. I know a lot of members hate posts like this so I apologize in advance. I don't wish to ruin ur day. I'm not looking for anyone to hold my through this just point me in the right direction for root instructions and recommend a good Rom. Thanks everyone!!!

The unlock process via the htcdev.com website is still the same. If you're just going to replace the factory rom, unlock your phone, flash a custom recovery (TWRP, Amon-Ra or CWM) then the rom of your choice.

For the recovery install, download the PH98IMG.zip attached to the post above, stick it on the root of your sd card, power off your phone, pull the battery and stick it back in, power the phone back up while holding the volume down button to get into the bootloader, press power again then volume up when prompted to install the recovery.img then reboot.
Remove the PH98IMG.zip image immediately from your sd card's root, download the rom of your choice, boot back into the bootloader using the process above then select recovery to get into Amon-Ra and install your rom.
The one issue you will have with being s-on is you need to flash your kernel using your pc via fastboot, you can reboot into the bootloader from Amon-Ra and flash the boot.img you extracted from the rom download zip.
fastboot flash boot path/to/boot.img
Enjoy.
Thank u! I think the kernal part is where i would have gotten screwed up. So I download the Rom of my choice and open the zip file, remove the boot.img, put it on the root of my sd card, and then do I flash the Rom first or the boot.img? Also I remember having issues doing this before where I kept being prompted to.install the boot.img in the bootloader screen. After I install the boot.img how do I remove it from my sd card so it will stop asking me if I want to install it? Thx again!!

Ok, so I have a HTC rezoud and I am a total noob at this. I have the bootloader unlocked but cannot get my phone rooted. I have tried alot of other web sites and no luck, I have never flashed or even no how to. Just need some noob tips and any other info.
Thanks man.

Thank u! I think the kernal part is where i would have gotten screwed up. So I download the Rom of my choice and open the zip file, remove the boot.img, put it on the root of my sd card, and then do I flash the Rom first or the boot.img? Also I remember having issues doing this before where I kept being prompted to.install the boot.img in the bootloader screen. After I install the boot.img how do I remove it from my sd card so it will stop asking me if I want to install it? Thx again!!

You put the boot.img on your PC so you can use ADB/fastboot to flash it to the phone.
You're confusing that with installing a kernel using a PH98IMG.zip file. That will get picked up anytime you boot into the bootloader if it's sitting on your SD card. You can remove those using a file manager app to access the SD card or plug into your pc and mount the SD card.

Ok gotcha. It's all coming back to me. Last question...here are the pics of the software information for my phone. Having looked at that, do I need to do anything else before I start rooting and flashing? I keep reading about making sure I'm on the right RUU before I start flashing and wut not. Am I good?

For ROMs... Highly recommend eclipticRez found in the development forum... The newest version. Runs super smooth and sense 4 goodness

Took ur advice and flashed that eclipticRez Rom. Glad I did. It's awesome. Good call on that. Did u choose Sense 4 in Aroma or a different launcher? I chose sense but I'm curious how the other launchers r.

I chose sense 4. Haven't tried the others but am curious about the others. Just too lazy to actually do something about it haha. I'm a fan of sense though

You may have named it PG05IMG.zip.zip
Remove the second zip
Make sure it is named
PG05IMG.zip

First thing is it on the root of your sd card.

It shouldn't matter. This isn't always the case, but I have experienced it before.
Just rename it to PG05IMG and then try flashing in hboot.

PG05DIG.zip? Or PG05IMG.zip?
Rename it to PG05IMG and take .zip off.
Then go into hboot and see if it finds the update.
Having to take off .zip has been the case for me before... but only once.

Put your sd card in your pc or mount it, which ever is your favorite way to see/load files from your pc. Open the drive and find the folder options. Click view, and check "show common file types" or something to at effect.
I have found doing this as a general setting on your pc to be very helpful. Your pc will still show you the file as a zip even if it is name.zip.zip. Hope this helps!

I'm having a similar issue as well; Hboot will search, find PG05IMG.zip, the progress bar runs through at the top right, but then it just drops back to the hboot menu. I'm currently sitting at Unlocked but S-ON, with root in the Liquid 4.0.4 rom, trying to get back to the stock. Any suggestions?
Hboot: 1.05
S-On
Unlocked bootloader
ROM: Liquid 4.0.4 Compilation
End goal: Flashing the rooted OTA release of ICS
I've been following the "How to Return to Stock" thread in the Thunderbolt Dev forum.
You can't do it because you're s on.

That's what I was afraid of. How would I get back to S-OFF?

Depends on the unlock method you used. You'll probably need to re lock if you used htc dev and then use the allinone tool.

Thanks for your help, I appreciate it. I believe it was the HTC Dev Unlock tool; how would I go about relocking?
Edit: For anyone stumbling upon this, I relocked the device from fastboot using "fastboot oem lock", then when the device rebooted to the bootloader ran the executable from the link below. Problem solved, I'm back at stock gingerbread.
