SD does not mount automatically - HTC Rezound

I have seen others mentioning this but not resolution for just the Rezound. I have the new firmware, S-Off, and have run various stock ICS ROMs and after every reboot, I have to manually mount my SD card. Does anyone have a fix for this? Do I have to reload a RUU, unlock the bootloader, etc all over again?

Try formatting the card in the phone. Backup your data first.

I have this same problem, the weird thing is it sometimes mounts automatically and sometimes doesn't. Haven't found a fix, but used to have a widget that would do it just can't find.d it now.

Try a different card to determine if it is the card or the phone.

I guess at this point, you might as well run the RUU. Not that big of a deal. DON'T unlock the bootloader, you're s-off, right? So put the RUU named ph98img on the SD card and let it go. Also, go ahead and do a factory reset before you put AmonRA on.....
Question: What did you run to get the latest firmware..?

Good question. I am pretty sure that I ran one of the leaked ICS RUU's. I have the ICS firmware and am S-Off.
Thanks, I will give that a shot in the near future.

I have all the files downloaded to run the RUU for .10 and cleanflash to push recovery. My bootloader is already unlocked, is this a problem? Again, I am s-off already.
Thanks.

I'm pretty sure to you have to lock the bootloader to run the RUU. Maybe someone else can chime in here.... Or you could try...
If you lock it...don't unlock again... NO need to be unlocked if s-off.
AFter you flash the RUU, boot into hboot and do a factory reset with the stock recovery....then go ahead and flash Amon.

Is it wrong then that one of the CM/AOKP threads are asking for both s-off and unlocked?
Anyhow, everything is running great after a titanium restore. Thanks everyone for your help!!

Sadly, this issue had come back for me. After weeks of no problems after each reboot my SD card is not mounted. Anyone else having this issue?

Yeah I am. Stock, unrooted, s-on, and with the original sd card that came with the phone..I freaked out when I thought I lost all of my photos..

[Q] I don't get the update process

I am S-Off with AmonRa 3.15 Unlocked, Rooted and have the GB Stock Sense.
Things seemed a lot simpler with the DInc. Load the RUU on the SD, change the name zip and boot it from the boot loader.
From what I am reading, I have to flash the newest leaked ROM, then install AmonRa 3.15 again, then load the radios?
Doesn't sound or seem right and I know I will end up screwing something up.
Can someone give me a step by step instruction on this? Do I have to name each file PH98IMG.zip, install it then delete it and load another to install?
I am not understanding it.
Lmao wtf ?
Grab the ruu file, rename it to ph98img.zip and put on root of sdcard. Itll update firmware, rom, radios in one shot. Then you reinstall aromra and why are you s off and unlocked ? Point of soff is to be locked and still be rooted. I think you probably misread some threads wrong but good luck, hope i helped
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
Btw if your unlocked, you cant run the ruu i believe. Better relock first .
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
I know I did. I thought I had to unlock to root so I did. There are so many variations of the update threads going around. S-On, S-Off, S-On, Unlocked, Rooted. I can't keep this crap straight. That is why I am asking.
Thank you
i suggest reading this thread to get a better idea of everything involved.
but yes, phones change and evolve. they're not all the same, so you gotta roll with it.
If you're s-off I don't think you'll have to relock. But it's a total wipe of the phone, so you'll have to reinstall Amon Ra. You'll lose everything except your external SD card.
Back up your internal SD, and anything you care about.
Put the RUU on your external SD named as PH98IMG.zip. MD5 it *after* you put it on the SD card to ensure a perfect transfer.
Shut off phone, pull battery. Put battery in.
Start bootloader with volume and power keys. Everything's automatic from there. Volume up to say Yes when prompted. Process restarts automatically if the RUU has to flash your HBOOT.
On first boot, go straight to the SD card and rename that PH98IMG.zip file so you don't lock yourself out of recovery.
Now shut down and do the battery thing again.
Start bootloader and do the factory system reset/wipe. This is your last and only chance to fix any corruption in the radio partition, and you need to do this before flashing Amon Ra. You'll see the recovery screen and a progress bar that just twirls. When done the phone reboots automatically.
You may now shut down and install Amon Ra. In my experience, the phone will remain unlocked, and you can flash from fastboot if you prefer.
I haven't tried rooting the leak from Amon Ra because I usually just apply a rooted ROM from this point.
Be careful what ROMs you apply, because some ROMs may "upgrade" your kernel to an older version. In my limited experience, the one on the RUU is the best one.
Well, this changed me to Sense 3.5 software number 2.01.605.11 I downloaded Scott's Stock Rooted RUU 3.14.605.5 LOL!
Told you **** never works right when I do it.
Going to try relocking and running again

You don't need to relock, you just need the right file. Scott's rooted 3.14 is a ROM, not the RUU. You need the actual RUU. The name of his thread is a little confusing as it is based on the newest leaked RUU but is not bootloader flashable via the PH98IMG.zip method. Get the real RUU and follow the excellent instructions above.
The PH98IMG in that post is not the full RUU and is only for the special case that he outlines in the first post under "install instructions".

Got it. Couldn't install under HBOOT. Had to do it under recovery and couldn't use the PH98IMG file name. Just left Scott's as named in the download.
Thanks again

[Q] ICS to GB S-On

Before I begin, I've read through a lot of threads on different forums and have yet to find a solution (that's working for me.)
I could never get my device to S-OFF so simply dropped the task. Not in too big of a rush right now. That being said, I'd like to go back to GB for a bit just to try a few things out.
I never flashed the ICS firmware, therefor I've had to use the old firmware patches. So, I tried running the RUU for GB and it only encountered error after error and my phone stayed at the black HTC screen. Any ideas?
Phone works just fine, just rebooted while I was typing this post and went straight into my ROM.
Only way I found is S-off'd, I had to go back to GB after ICS since it came on the phone I bought and needed to return it. Everyone told me I had to S-Off then RUU
If s on make sure you relock bootloader, then you should be able to run the gb ruu for whichever version you were on.
Sent from my Rezound
Downgrading radios when s-on could very well hard brick your phone. I strongly recommend that you s-off first.

If you never ran an ics ruu you still were on gb firmware....so you can run a gb ruu. When you run the same ruu that's not downgrading....sheesh :rolleyes . And its probably the easiest way to get back to a working phone if you are lost and don't really know what you are doing.

Tried that. RUU said "Could not update your phone at this time."
I came from stock GB originally in...April. Is there a specific RUU for that?
I've never used RUU's before so I'm lost.
aaand now, I'm pretty sure my phone is a brick. It's re-locked now, can't go into recovery, won't boot into ROM.

Still only a soft brick. Would suggest trying the other of the two GB RUU .exe version packages if you only tried one of them, just a suggestion until someone else can help you and diagnose.

I'm getting a bootloader version error. An ICS RUU should fix this, right? Granted, I know that means I can't go back until I S-Off, but I'd rather that than have a soft bricked phone
I am in the same boat - S-ON. I flashed Scott's ICS Rooted Stock Rom, along with the GB Patch. I downloaded the PH98IMG.zip and HBOOT doesn't recognize it. Trying the exe may resolve this?
Issue resolved thanks to dsb in the IRC channel. For some reason, I thought I had to throw the unlock.bin on my SD card to unlock.
And to the guy above me, try pushing it through adb. Extract the ROM, find the boot.img, throw it into your ADB directory.
adb reboot bootloader
(make sure you're in fastboot USB)
fastboot flash boot boot.img

With the new leak out, I haven't. However, I can still help.
Make sure there is no P98IMG file on your SD card.
1. Download the mainver fix from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23169557&postcount=4
2. Drop GB ROM of your choice onto SD card.
3. Flash the fix in recovery and reboot into bootloader.
4. Relock your phone by going into adb and typing in fastboot oem lock
5. Run GB RUU of your choice.
6. Use the HTCDev unlock on your bootloader
7. Download a recovery and push it to your phone by typing in fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
8. Boot into recovery, flash ROM, enjoy.

Cannot unlock eBay Rezound

I purchased a Rezound from eBay and it's locked with a gesture lock. The seller told me to do a factory reset, which I did a couple of times, and it doesn't reset the phone to the new activation screen. It looks like he rooted the phone at one point. The recovery screen says "Tampered," "Relocked," and "VIGOR PVT SHIP S-ON RL."
My question is, how do I get past the gesture lock? Will rooting and flashing a different rom do the trick? I am obviously a newbie, and likely wouldn't have rooted it and installed a custom rom if I didn't have to, but it seems like I may have to at this point. Thanks!

Obviously the first thing that comes to mind is if all it needed was to have a factory reset done why didn't the seller do just that and avoid the hassle? Kinda like when you look at a car and all it needs for the AC to work is a recharge..yeah I've been bit by that one before too.
Glad you got it working..youll enjoy being rooted
Looks like it isn't entirely right. I took it to Verizon to get it activated, and I have data connectivity but cannot call or text at all. The software version is 4.0.3 Android with 3.6 Sense. I am going to try to restore the factory version (from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1338916) and hope that does the trick. Otherwise, I guess there's something wrong and I have to return the phone to the seller.

Download that file, rename it PH98IMG.ZIP and make sure it isn't named PH98IMG.ZIP.ZIP and then put that on the root of the actual SD Card. Not the internal memory.
Reboot into hboot, and it will find that file and load it. You will have to chose volume + to accept. It will flash bootloader first, then the radios and rom and such. After this has flashed and booted, delete the PH98IMG.ZIP file from your sd card, and then reboot into hboot and chose factory reset. Let it do its thing, and try a phone call or text on reboot.
should be good to go after this.
I downloaded the file, put it in the root directory of the sd card, and booted into hboot. It says "Loading PH98IMG.zip" for a few minutes, then goes back to the hboot screen. I then powered down, removed SD card, and tried to factory reset. The phone entered the Android system recovery. I rebooted, and the phone seemed exactly the same. I'll retry, maybe I'm doing something wrong.
Update: I've retried a few times, and it just seems that hboot won't load PH98IMG.zip. Might it matter that I'm still at S-ON?

Try redownloading again might have been a bad download. Remember once the file starts to flash it might shut off and turn on and continue doing its thing just make sure when it's all done every item says "ok" next to it if it does your good to go next just make sure you go into bootloader do a factory reset.

I'm S-on and running Conrom. I decided to relock and go back to stock to take the latest update.
After executing fastboot oem lock, my phone won't boot past the Hboot screen.
When I installed Conrom I temp flashed amon ra. After that my hboot said Tampered but everything worked great.
Now it says Tampered, Relocked, Security Warning.
How do I get back to the .12 OTA or Conrom for that matter?
Fastboot devices will return my serial number. Adb devices returns nothing.

you have to be on a stock hboot before re-locking. i would flash a stock hboot, then re-lock, and finally ruu.

OK so open the ruu and follow it until it tells you to plug in your device. Don't plug it in. Open the start menu in windows and type in %temp% and hit enter and then find the most recent folder open it and find the rom.zip file.

Before you flash the PH98IMG file you'll need to lock your bootloader. This will get you to the stock OTA from last week, and you should be able to get the new OTA.

I don't know if it's safe to put the ruu back on my sd card, relock and reload the ruu.
Here is the the 3.14.605.10 RUU as a PH98IMG:

You just need to drop that on your SD card and go.
I still stand by my recommendation of S-Off. Never unlock again!
Also makes flashing RUUs and such way easier.

Can I drop the 3.14.605.12 RUU as a PH98IMG on my sd card instead?
May have to look into S-Off but this is my work phone. I just want to get back to the latest stock for now.
I really appreciate your help!

Download the 3.14.605.12.zip and rename ph98img.zip. Put it on your sdcard. After that boot into bootloader and lock your phone. After you lock go back into bootloader and it will recognize and flash the ph98img.zip. flash this twice and you are good to go

I'll give it a whirl. When I locked it, that's when it gave me the security warning and wouldn't boot to the rom. It did look for the PH98IMG file which wasn't on the sd card so I'll try that again with it on the sd card. Hopefully it will load as it should.

No need to lock as flashing the RUU in bootloader will relock it for you, it will also s-on. The important part is to make sure you are on a stock hboot, which it looks like you are. If you want to go through the effort of flashing the RUU, just flash it, then you will need to unlock and s-off if you'd like

It's working on the second flash as we speak. Thanks for all the help! I'll report back success or failure.

Go to the bootloader screen and tell us what hboot and radio versions you have.
Hboot 2.21 is gingerbread.
2.25 is the first ICS OTA.
2.27 is the global update.
Did you run an RUU?
That should work.

Baseband is radio.
Anyway, that means you are on Gingerbread.
So you can either flash the GB RUU, or upgrade with the ICS RUU.

Since that's an ICS rom, you should flash the 3.14.605.12 RUU.

All RUUs work s-on.
Only flashing hboot/radio individually requires s-off, and downgrading RUUs.

Need to lock the boot loader before running the ruu if you're s-on.

This is the process I've used from what I've read here many times.
Place the PH98 file of the RUU on your ext SD card.
Relocking the bootloader always has started the flash process for me but if it doesn't.
Pull the battery.
Boot into bootloader.
Let the RUU flash.
Let the phone boot but don't set anything up.
Shut down the phone and pull the battery.
Reboot into bootloader again.
Flash the RUU a second time.
Boot the phone.
Delete the PH98 file off your ext SD card.
Power down and pull the battery.
Boot back into the bootloader and do a factory reset.
Reboot again and enjoy.

THANK YOU!!!! Thanks all around! I am proficient in adb and rooting and unlocking bootloaders but what ive come to realize about htc is the whole s-off/s-on crap. as soon as i relocked the bootlooader and flashed the ruu already on my sd card i was able to get booted back up. im running a s3 as my my driver and dont really have to deal with radios and hboot, but when i had my thunderbolt it really started to bring back memories. thanks for the help guys!
