I'm rooted, s-on, unlocked, running a Gingerbread based ROM.
I would like to run stock ICS but stay rooted and unlocked.
I tried the wire trick for s-off but it is not working because [i think] I'm not running a stock ROM.
What is the best route to go from here?
I heard someone say I had to relock my bootloader in order to install ICS?
Help please.

Relock and flash the stock ruu via Hboot, you can always unlock again. Use the latest leaked ruu to upgrade to ics stock.

Thanks! I'm a bit of a newb so your instructions are not easy for me. I'm close. Please help just a bit more.
I have Hasoon2000's all in one kit so I was able to use "relock bootloader" and it worked.
What I need:
DONE: (1) URL to "stock ruu" <-- I assume you mean ICS ROM when you say that? OK I found and have this file now
HELP: (2) when you say "flash the stock ruu via hboot" <-- I'm not sure what you mean for me to do. I found some hboot zip files named 1.90.2005 and 1.93.0002. Do I copy those to the phone's mem card and then ... ? My current hboot is 1.90.2004. How do I get it up to date?
Thanks!
Phone going to black screen with green arrows
Now when I reboot the phone stops at a black screen with green circular arrows. I can get to bootloader and recovery but can't seem to get it to show me the file system so I can put the ICS RUU on the phone. Ideas?
take out the micros sd card
Take out the micro sd card, rename the file to PH85IMG.zip, put the card in a card reader and copy it to the root of the card, then put it back in your phone and go into Hboot and let it do it's thing.

Thanks for that! When you say "rename the file" <--- do you mean the new hboot zip file I have hboot_1.93.0002? Or do you mean keep my current hboot and by "the file" you mean the ICS ROM?
UPDATE: I went with my gut and copied the ICS ROM over to my card and rebooted the phone and yep, it seems to be working. Thanks for your help!
SU binary
OK now I'm up on stock T-Mobile ICS, my bootloader is locked, and s-on.
Titanium Backup tells me the SU binary is missing.
When I locked the bootloader, did I lose root?
Or is it just a matter of copying a binary to my phone?
If just copy binary, how do I find that binary?
Thanks!
You need to unlock and flash a custom recovery, then you can flash the superuser.zip and your root will be back.

OK. The phone is finally re-unlocked. I really appreciate all the help!
NOW... I need to flash 4EXT but I'm getting "device not found" from Hasoon2000's All in One Kit when I try to "Flash Recovery". Ideas?
Like can I just put "4EXT.IMG" in the root of my SDcard and then go into bootloader and somehow run that file? Not sure how it works.

Check the cable, if the probably persist, reboot into fastboot (I'm assuming you know how to do this, if not, turn your device off, hold the volume down button then press the power button, choose fastboot in the menu), once in fastboot, retry flashing the recovery via the tool.
Edit: lol I thought so but eh, we all make mistakes, have fun flashing.
Getting close...
OK so now I have unlocked the bootloader and I have 4EXT working on the phone.

Choose the perm root option in hasoon's tool, select run, it's gonna push a SuperSu.zip to your sd card, then boot you into recovery, choose install from sd card, browse down to that file, it might be all the way to the bottom, when you find it, select it to install, then reboot, voila! You're rooted.

You need another PC image you relocked now so there is no rom on the phone you need to snag the latest PC86IMG stock rom this will get you going man. What you flashed was a stock recovery from the looks of it.

What I did at that point was power off my phone, take out my SD card, and put it in a usb adapter. Connect it to your PC then place the PG86IMG.zip in the root of your SD card. Place the SD card back in your phone power up and the phone will pick up the file and update all on its own.
once i download file do i need to rename it to PC86IMG.zip or leave as is?

so i got my amaze a couple months ago from this guy and he told me had rooted the phone but then he unrooted it.
So fastforward to today and i'm trying to update my phone to the new android 4.0 . it downloads the update but then when it shuts off to start installing the update a triangle pops up with an exclamation mark.
it wouldn't go away so i took the battery out to restart it, which it did.
How do i go about fixing this . Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Just download one of the stock ruu files, place it on your sd card rename it PH85IMG.zip and reboot into HBoot mode, it should restore your phone to complete stock.
What radio is on the new OTA update? Can someone who has done the update, post?

I have the same problem. I get a Main ver is old error when attempting to load the stock ruu, PH85IMG_Ruby_TMOUS_1.36.531.6_Radio_1.07.550L.04DC_30.64.550L.07_release_219373_signed.zip .
There is no way to get it back to stock with HBOOT on the ICS RUU you cannot go back, I got screwed over too. Unless you got S-Off before you went to ICS, that's the only way you can go back to stock. I think, that's what someone else told me, so give it a try but otherwise I think you are screwed, but I don't really know what I'm talking about. Can anyone confirm this?

Ok, I flashed via HBOOT the same version that was on the phone, PH85IMG_Ruby_TMOUS_1.43.531.3_Radio_1.08.550L.19DC_30.66.550L.08D_release_228638_signed.zip , and it seems to have accepted it, and going through the updates now.
Now, I will boot into stock, and attempt the new OTA ICS upgrade.
Will a restore work via CWM, that I took from the stock GB ROM above?
OTA ICS Upgrade = Success
I was going to pull the file off of the phone, but I started the upgrade and forgot. I could not locate it afterwards.
How did you flash via Hboot? Did you rename the file before you put it on your SD Card? Also do you have stock recovery?
finally got it
1. Make sure USB Debugging is enabled. Go to Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging.
2. Download my tool and run it. If your bootloader is unlocked (most likely it is), on my tool, press "Boot into Bootloader". After you are in bootloader, run the "Relock Bootloader" command
3. Put the Stock T-Mobile 1.43 ROM on to your SD Card. Make sure it in the root folder. Rename the file to PH85IMG. Run the command on my tool to "Boot into Bootloader" It should scan for the ROM. If it doesn't (It may be in Fastboot mode, that's why) press the power button so it switches from Fastboot into HBOOT mode.
4. It will detect it and press the Volume Up button. It will flash the Stock ROM.

Unlock your amaze again. Follow the hasoon steps and you'll be able to unlock it.
once you unlock it download this file
http://d-h.st/OIC
once that is done rename it to "PH85IMG" and then put it into your sdcard
then follow these steps
"Run the command on the hasoon tool to "Boot into Bootloader" It should scan for the ROM. If it doesn't (It may be in Fastboot mode, that's why) press the power button so it switches from Fastboot into HBOOT mode.
4. It will detect it and press the Volume Up button. It will flash the Stock ROM."
once it's done flashing you'll be on stock and then you can update the phone to ICS.

Well technically we misuse the term ruu, since it's actually a exe you run on your computer.
What people usually mean by ruu is a zip that has official, stock HTC everything.

Before you flash, you should know that if the RUU file you are using is not a rooted one, you may loose root by flashing it to your phone.There are rooted RUUs on XDA and I hope you are using one of them.
Now if you have downloaded the RUU file to your computer
1.Rename it as PH98IMG and put it on your SD card.
2. power off your phone (preferably by removing the battery and putting it back).
3. restart your phone by holding down volume down and the power button. Your phone will reboot to bootloader. The bootloader should automatically load the file you rename PH98IMG and ask you if you want to install the update.
4. Press volume up for YES. Bootloader will install the file. Follow the instructions to finish.

Well the top line in your bootloader should say something along the line of Unlocked or Tampered if it doesn't then you need to use HTC Unlock tool and unlock your bootloader again. If its locked you can't do anything. Check that out.

Hi,
I am new here and this is my first post so forgive me if starting a new thread for this topic was wrong but I found my own situation slightly different from the others here who had the same problem.
I have a gsm unlocked rezound and was trying to get rid of the unknown sim error message at lock screen. I followed the steps mentioned on this thread --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1882355. I rooted the phone, downloaded the apk. Deleted the .odex file and replaced the existing apk with the downloaded one and rebooted. Now, I am stuck at the lock screen with no icons. But for the other people who faced similiar issue, they were able to open the home screen. I can't. I can see pop ups for sms/mail. I get ring when a call comes in but I cant pick. I tried hard reset. Tried booting without sim/sd card. Still no luck. I tried connecting the phone to my pc but now my pc wont recognise the phone when its connected. I can see icon on top of the phone which says USB connected and I also see sync icon, but it will not go any further. I dont know how to get into the phone's menu now.
I may have bitten more than I can chew, silly me :crying:
If you guys can help me in any way, I would appreciate that a lot.

Thank you for the quick response. I have downloaded the file. I know this sounds stupid but I am a real rookie. I don't know how to do the flashing or how to get to the AOSP lock screen. If you could guide me through the process or maybe give me a link where I can learn it myself, it would be great.
Essentially since you already have rooted, you will(should) also have a custom recovery (TWRP, AmonRa, CWM). Install it as you would a regular rom but without any wipes until after flash of the zip. Dependent on which recovery you will want to look up their FAQ/QnA on how to wipe dalvik/cache.
Once you get inside the script, you will see what I meant by "Choose Sense & AOSP Lockscreen".

Yes the phone was rooted, but I used a rooting software from google apps from the phone. After I downloaded that app, it rooted the phone and brought in an extra icon. I remember it as SU root something, but I didnt do it from the pc. So I dont have any recovery on the pc. I used to sync the phone with htc sync. Unfortunately, right now, my pc wont recognise the phone. I tried root explorer for android from pc, it wont recognise the device. HTC sync too will not. But my phone seems to know when a USB is connected, it brings the usb icon on top but thats about it. ((
Ok, best suggestion at this point is to follow the instruction in the OP for installing TWRP in the Rezound development section.

Thank you for the help buddy. I am glad you said its not. I dont know what I would have done if it had. This is my first android phone and I took it a week back. I was beginning to miss my iPhone . Unfortunately the link you provided wont help me because I have no way of restarting phone other than by removing battery. Even when in fastboot, the pc does not recognise the device even when device shows fastboot usb. I doubt if I can get past step 1 in that link.
I found that I am on Vigor H Boot 2.27.000 and Radio 2.22.10.0803r with S-ON. I tried to turn S-Off after reading and educating myself on android from this forum till now. But even to S-Off, I need to be able to enable USB in debug mode which I am not able to. Any suggestions ?
Device still not fixed
hi,
I took the phone to a couple of places to check if it can be fixed, No one was able to fix it thus far, Any other advice or suggestions to fix this would be great. Any admins/mods have something to add ? Please, I am desperate to fix this phone. Anyway of doing this ?
Have you tried flashing a different rom?
If he's S-on and locked, he can simply flash the latest RUU can't he(just to get the phone working again). From there someone can help him set up adb, and s-off.

From what they posted, somehow they don't have a custom recovery even though they are rooted?
Can you put a PH98IMG.zip file of a recovery (either Amon Ra or TWRP) on your SD card and flash it in hboot? Then flash a custom ROM the same way from recovery.
You can take the SD card out and mount it on your pc and use your pc to copy over the recovery PH98IMG.zip file.
And oh yeah, I see what Obaterista... was saying. You should be able to flash the latest RUU from hboot. Here's a link for it:

Yes I rooted from a tool I found on android market. Noob me. So I do not have a recovery. I had downloaded the PH98IMG.zip and put it in my sd card and tried. The recovery starts and then shows a red exclamation and then nothing happens.
I was just trying different pages for help. Someone has mentioned that I should add the PH98IMG.zip as just PH98IMG and I shud not add the .zip. Thats the only thing left to try. I will post what happens when I do that.

Yes I have vigor, tried AmonRa, that did not work mate. It starts fastboot, gets stuck @ unpacking PH98IMG.diag and then nothing happens.
The bootloader screen says S-On. On top it says ***Tampered*** and below it ***UNLOCKED***.

What you'll have to do is relock your boot loader, flash the RUU and then unlock again. From there you should be able to flash a recovery and flash a rom.

Are you trying with the stock ROM ? If ure saving stock ROM as PH98IMG.zip, then try PH98IMG without the .zip typed in.

I am no expert to give u any suggestions but maybe if you could explain how it got bricked in the first place, someone might be able to give u a better solution mate.
A long time ago I rooted my phone, and I think I installed a new ROM on it.
Some time after that I decided I just wanted everything back to stock, so I took off root and re-locked the phone. (In hboot my phone says s-on and **relocked**)
As of late I have the need to get some kind of tethering app working so I was trying to unlock and root my phone again. The way I saw to do it was to use this link http://unlimited.io/jb_vigor.htm
I went ahead and set up my laptop to dual boot into Ubuntu, and have all the other prereqs done, but I'm not sure if I ever went back to the stock ROM on my rezound.
I followed the instructions on this page http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/08/15/exclusive-download-full-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/
But received this an error saying "hboot main version is older, update failed"
I'd like to think I'm pretty capable with this stuff but I'll be honest, I'm not exactly sure where this leaves me.

If you have a custom recovery installed, copy this file to your sd card and flash in recovery

Ok, no need to rename it or anything? Just put it on the sdcard, boot into hboot, and select recovery?
When I do this I get a picture of a phone with a "!" inside of a red triangle next to it.

You have the stock recovery on your phone.
You need to unlock and install a custom recovery first.
This may help

About to do that. Just to be sure, are you suggesting that I use his HTC One AIO kit, or the one he made for the rezound?

I unlocked the phone, which was a pain in the butt since I was using a windows 8 computer.
I loaded TWRP on it, but I'm not 100% sure what you mean when you say flash, there is no "recovery" option.

boot into TWRP recovery, press install, find the file, Swipe to confirm flash.
Then You can install a rom the same way. Just remember since you are S-on, extract the Boot.img from the rom and Place in your fastboot folder,
and fastboot flash it or it will not boot.
"fastboot flash boot boot.img"
If you want a rom just to tether with, any Sense rom should work.

Looking in the stock RUU I downloaded there is no Boot.img, and there is no kernel folder (I found the directions here http://androidforums.com/rezound-all-things-root/499172-how-manually-flash-roms.html#post3933400 ) The only thing I want to do is tether. Do I need s-off for that? The only reason I'm loading up this RUU (or ROM, not sure which it is) is so I can have the stock ROM so I can use the JuopunutBear S-OFF so I can tether. I should actually google s-off vs s-on, I really don't know the difference. Does s-off just mean rooted?
Also, I really appreciate all your help. There's no way I would have been able to figure this out on my own. Thanks.

You dont Have to have s-off to tether, just a rooted rom.

Ok, I may just flash a rooted rom then.
Since I already have the key to unlock my phone I tried re-locking it and flashing a RUU Zip, but I got the message "remote: 44 hboot version check fail
Not sure what this means, does this not work on hboot 2.28?
I may just end up doing the rooted rom, I just figured I'd go ahead and try this for ****s n giggles.
Try this
download this file, place on your sd card just like the other file and install in recovery
This will root the rom you are on

Not since you are S-on because the Ruu you have has an older Hboot. you can only go backwards with S-off

Fantastic, Got it all working! Thanks again for your help.
EDIT: Even though I have superSU on the phone, When I try to update the su binary the installation fails. And Barnacle Wifi Tether says "Permission Denied!" and "Stopped Unexpectedly!"
I'm sure I'm close. But I'll have to finish it up in the morning.
I installed the original superuser from the market and that seemed to work. Now I'm getting other tethering errors. I'll edit if I can't figure them out.

I realized after I posted the root file you are on latest firmware and that wont work on Hboot 2.28.
I was misled by your thread title, thought you were on older firmware
Download/Flash this in recovery
http://download.chainfire.eu/333/Sup...erSU-v1.34.zip
Then install Busybox from playstore using this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....busybox&hl=en
Inside the app choose /system/bin at the top checkmark replace all symlinks choose install then choose smart install.
you can get root checker from the playstore to verify root
For tether app use this one
View attachment wireless_tether_3_2.apk
go into settings
change device-profile = samsung galaxy nexus(cmda/lte)
scroll down check routing fix box

Wow, you literally have all the answers. Wifi Tethering is working, getting 33Mbps, was only getting 0.15Mbps. Huge props to you.
