Hi All,
I just traded my Rezound to a guy on CL. It is rooted, s-on, with Scott's stock rooted ics. Anyway, the guy sent me a message saying that it froze on the htc screen (though it worked flawlessly when he walked away with it). He apparently called Verizon who got as far as the bootloader screen then wouldn't help him. I walked him through getting to recovery then doing a wipe. He says it is still stuck on the htc screen. I am concerned with what Verizon may have told him to do. Can y'all think of any reason doing a standard wipe all from Amon Ra wouldn't help? My feeling is that since it gets to the recovery screen, it is fixable. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Kim

They may have made him do a factory reset won't boot without an os

Ahh! Ok, that makes sense. So I should just be able to slap a rom and boot.img onto my sd card and load via amon ra?

Don't see why not, check to see if it's still unlocked first

Awesome! Thanks for your replies.

So I would bet he didn't do a factory reset unless he either flashed the stock recovery or RUU the phone.
Since it is s-on it sounds like he flashed a different rom and didn't flash the corresponding kernel and that is why it sticks at the HTC screen.

Not if you never installed an ics leak. I don't mean Rom but ruu. If not then run the gb ruu

Great you can flash roms. You do realize you are using 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 which ever you flashed last. Please tell me you don't think you are using both roms at the same time.
Hahaha yeah I know I'm not using them at the same time, I was on a 2.3.4 rom then I flashed a 2.3.3 rom, I didn't think u could go back and forth ,just one or the other.

Yeah i never knew you could do that cause I took the newest ota and I have hboot 1.50 and unlocked my phone through HTC

Yeah some great Dev's here, cant wait to try out the 2.3.4 kernel when someone completes one!
No kidding seems like every week something new comes out
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Were you s-off before you took the ota?? You may be able to flash a 2.3.3 rom, but you won't be able to flash the kernel so the rom may not fully work. Most people that try find out wifi won't work along with other problems. The hboot 1.5 won't let you write to certain system partitions and the kernel is one of those.
Yeah I was s-off b4 I took the OTA, then I did the HTC unlock method when it finished it didn't reboot so I took the battery out and went into recovery and it said unlocked in the pink banner and s-off lol seems like I ghetto rooted my phone. Never had any problems flashing anything yet
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
That's why your able to flash older roms, you were already s-off. All others that started out with hboot 1.5 and used HTC's unlocker can't flash 2.3.3 roms and have everything work right because they can't install a 2.3.3 kernel. Since you were already s-off you must still have write capability to those locked partitions.
Well that makes sense thanks cruise for your info
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Have you been able to flash a 2.3.5 ROM. I see that some newer ROMs are being built on that?
Yeah I can flash 2.3.5 roms it will be sweet when they get sound working

Did you allow the RUU to run fully? Meaning did you allow it to update the hboot, reboot and then finish the update?

Yes I let it update all the way. I just reflashed the RUU, but now i dont have data on the fresh leaked rom. I checked MD5 and its all good.
Make sure that you have your back cover on.

That happened to me!
I just flashed the rom, and I freaked because I had no service. Then I put the back cover on and took a chill pill.
So I've done the whole process a few times now without any luck. I don't know what to do.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
try reflashing the ruu and make sure you let it reboot to bootloader to finish and then before you try to install a rom such as cleanrom 4.1 use this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562176
it will wipe fully 5 or 10 times.
Ok I have data on the fresh ruu. Now I am going to try unlocking and rooting again. I installed the 10x wipe. We Will see what happens.

Did I do something wrong?am I the only one? My rez is s-on and gb firmware. Running sense 4 ics Rom. I do have the patch installed. My problem is ,my rez keeps dropping its data connection in well serviced area's. Anybody know what I can do to fix this? Also I'd like to add , a reboot usually fixes it for a short while.
Thanks.

Did you install the s-on kernel?
Yup, I did. I even wiped and flashed again. But say I didn't, wouldn't it not work at all? These data drops seem pretty random . It's not all the time just maybe 4 -5 times a day .Also ,I don't know if it matters I downloaded it straight to my phone and copied to root of sd card. I dunno if it's just me and not a common problem I'll flash again, this time I'll dl to pc first. .

My phone was doing that too a lot, and it didn't seem to matter what ROM I was on. Switch to another ROM to see if it still happens. If it doesn't it's a problem with Nils BS4 otherwise your phone is ****ed. Return it.
I have had it happen to me once on viperRez. Hot reboot fixed it. I haven't had it happen on nils sense4 Rom. I would suggest updating to ics firmware.

YES, factory reset in hboot with stock recovery is important. :highfive:
Ok, I bought a used EVO 3d that has been rooted. Right now its running miui but I need to flash it back to stock to get it switched to my account. I cannot get it to boot to recovery. He says he used the revolutionary method but when I boot to hboot it says 1.50. Everything I've read says its not possible. Hboot screen reads unlocked, shooter xc ship s-on RL, hboot-1.50.0000, emmc-boot... Do I still have root and what do I need to do to get back stock?

To get back to stock, you have to relock the bootloader and then run an ruu. This will put the stock recovery on as well.
Unless you want to lose root, I don't recommend that. What I recommend you do is flash a custom recovery like 4ext our twrp and them flash a stock rooted ROM. Also, getting s-off will make flashing easier.

How do I make an RUU rooted? Meaning I keep the custom hboot and recovery. I'm s-off. I flashed the latest global RUU a while back after being on clean Rom for a while, and hated having to push the hboot and amon ra recovery again. I'm running Newts one XxX 3.2.1 now and I love it, but I just want to remember what stock was like I guess lol. Maybe so I can appreciate the devs more. Can I just delete the hboot***file, boot_signed.IMG and recovery_signed.img files from the ph98img.zip and all be good? Or will it bootloop or possibly brick my phone.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
Yes you can do that, just removing the recovery will do the trick. If you remove the boot from it, it will bootloop. That should keep you rooted and keep your current recovery. Be sure to unzip the zip file, then remove it, then re zip it up and run it
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
Thank you. So I leave the hboot in the .zip as well? Won't that flash over the custom hboot and remove the fastboot option?

Well since the ruu will replace your rom, you will need to keep the boot.img that comes with the ruu
