Can someone possibly give those of us who aren't s-off the steps to flash either of these roms. Any help is greatly appreciated guys.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
I would assume the same way as other roms except after you install the rom, flash gapps as well. Then flash boot.img in fastboot
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
Would that cover the kernel as well? I ask because dmeadows says it requires s-off and alludes to ways to do it s-on but didn't give specifics. I'm on my phone only with the XDA app so searching isn't any simple task
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
Yes. It should work like any other rom. I also recommend you s-off soon if you plan on doing it at all before the ota comes out. It saves a lot of headache
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
I'm HTC unlocked, just haven't been around a pc long enough since I did that to s-off yet.

How to install without S-OFF:
1) Make sure you are on a currently rooted rom w/ htc dev unlock
2) Run the S-OFF Utility
3) Reflash recovery & fix sd card
4) Install ROM as instructed
lol, pull the boot image from the rom.zip & flash it in fastboot
What con said will work... if you want to know what you are actually doing with some more in-depth instructions then check out this post over at androidforums.com:

Um I'd say so, what he's saying is just a off already its really not difficult at all and it makes flashing roms so much easier and you'll never boot loop because of a PH98IMG again!

I know it is a simple task, except when you are a newbie and get errors you don't know how to fix because you have no idea what they means. I have tried so many times to s-off and always get errors (I don't even remember what they were). So I am still s-on, not because I choose to, but because it does not work for me. I am not very tecchie , I just know how to follow the instructions to root. So I unlocked, my bootloader, and am flashing different roms. But when the instructions are very generic, with the assumption that everyone knows the technical terms and process, some people like me stay behind and remain s-on, even though they would like to get s-off.
The instructions for s-off are as simple as I've ever seen something like this made. Totally step-by-step. You only have to run controlbear and follow the instructions. The only tough part is the wire trick, and they have a video showing exactly how to do it.
My biggest problem in doing it was the wire trick. I tried wire from cat5 and failed repeatedly. I ended up using a piece of coax and got it to work almost immediately.
I flashed CM9 and AOKP the same exact way as I would any other rom with S-ON. Wipe, flash, fast boot boot.img (I just use the resound all in one tool to flash the kernel because it has the built in commands)

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 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?

Anyways ive been reading and reading on how to root it, get s-off so i can install a recovery and them flash a rom and kernel. Ive managed to confuse myself because it seems that if you root it one way, you may not be able tp fash custom kernels and if you use another method to root it, your more than like to have all sorts of problems.
Basicall i need help and if someone could post a link to show me best method on how to root, s-off, install custom recovery, and install a rom on the 3d it would be greatly appreciated.

The twrp recovery has a method to flash that recovery without a computer by downloading it as a zip and naming it properly. See their site for detail.
I still recommend s-off since it is easier to flash Roms and the ics Roms tend to bootloop with s-on.

It looks like you renamed it to the wrong thing. If you downloaded TWRP 2.2.0 zip, it must be renamed PG86IMG.zip on the root of the sd card. Then when you update in bootloader, it should work.

Hmmm... Does your phone boot? If so, you could download 4ext (see my signature) and install their app. Then it will push the custom recovery for you. I use 4ext myself anyway.

When I ran Controlbear everything went fine but when presented with the option to install a different hboot I declined...
Now via ADB I CANNOT push recovery... I get the remote fail error.
I've tried renaming the flashable Amon Ra recovery to PH98IMG.zip...but it doesn't "parse." Regardless I am unable to do anything.
What are my option and what do I do?
S-on and then re-off? How do I S-on? (I haven't seen a rezound thread for this)
Can I flash anything? Do I flash a different hboot? Can I flash it via the PH98IMG method?

You can't flash stuff in fastboot with a locked bootloader with the stock hboot, and s-off relocks the bootloader.
So you have to flash a hacked hboot.

Take a look at the link below. I think it will shed some light on your issue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2256478
Most likely your issue is caused by the fact that you're S-on. On Hboot's 1.15 & newer you have to flash the kernel separately from the ROM, otherwise it won't boot. Many Sense ROM's include a S-on kernel installer to facilitate ROM flashing. Once you've obtained S-off, this isn't an issue.
Also, instead of Dirty Racun, give Facepalm a try-it's Windows friendly.

I tried using Facepalm, but I don't have superCID so I can't go through the rest of the process, I tried using the moonshine application as well but that didn't work either.
I feel like I've either completely overlooked something, or just giving it all way too much thought
Moonshine won't work unless you're on Hboot 2.09/baseband 1.12.11.1210. You have to use Facepalm or Dirty Racun otherwise. I personally have never used Facepalm, but I hear it's quick and easy. Perhaps head over to the Facepalm thread for more help. I think they also have IRC, too.

If you're bone-stock, sure, why not? Keep in mind your bootloader has to be unlocked, which may be the reason you're having issues with Facepalm to begin with. You cannot root if you can't unlock your bootloader.

Remember the link from above that I shared? The issue is that you're S-on and you have to install the kernel separately from the ROM. Most Sense ROM's have an S-on kernel installer to facilitate ROM flashing. Try a ROM like MeanBean-just read the installation instructions so you don't have any issues getting it installed (you basically flash it twice instead of once. The first flash installs the ROM itself, and the second flash installs the kernel). Obviously once you're S-off this won't be an issue.
Also, you might hit up Bigdaddy619. I know that he recently helped somebody get S-off using Facepalm and I'm sure he can help you, too

Here you go. Post #2.

So I already had an HTC Rezound for a year and was too afraid to root-so I bought an already rooted rezound from eBay that came with a 16 gig recovery sd card. I don't know what to do or how to flash a Rom or what I should do as a root noob... Can I please get some guidance from an experienced person?

Any idea what's on it now? Check the rom info in Settings, About Phone.
Also power it off, pull the battery, put it back in and turn the phone back on while holding Volume down, that'll get you the bootloader. See what version you have and if it's s-on or s-off.
From there you can select Recovery on the menu and boot into it, see what recovery you have.
Let us know and we can go from there.

You are already unlocked and have Amon Ra recovery installed, the "hard" stuff is done (actually it's not hard), and FYI you are S-ON... You are pretty good to go for any ICS based ROM. If you want to move into JellyBean or KitKat based ROMs you should switch to TWRP or CWM Recovery. Other than that, your good to go.
Ok, thanks a bunch! Ive done tons of reading about flashing roms and am still a little weary about the actual process. Ive read that a computer is needed in some cases but in others people are switching roms right from their phone- whats the safest or correct way to do it?

Although there are ways around it (that I don't recommend, mind you) the rule of thumb is based on whether you are S-ON or S-OFF...
When S-ON, a computer has to be involved so that the boot.img can be loaded... you must either: A) flash the boot.img manually with fastboot after flashing the ROM in recovery, or B) boot the recovery image file with fastboot and flash the ROM file
When S-OFF, no computer is required, all partitions of the phone are writable by recovery directly.

Don't forget you can use the phone (or a computer) to pack the boot.img into a PH98IMG.zip. As long as it boots, that is.
Hi All,
I am also new at rooting the Rezound and I'm having trouble. I did quite a bit of reading and followed the instructions here: theunlockr.com/2012/08/24/how-to-root-the-htc-rezound-video/
Apparently this was for an older version because I can't install ClockworkMod Recovery ("an error occurred ..."). I read that getting a backup of ClockworkMod Recovery was the best thing to do before installing any ROMs. Is that really necessary? It seems like I could always find an RUU on this site and flash back to ICS if I wanted to right?
Can some one point me in the right direction for what I should do next? Basically all I want to do is flash a ROM on my Rezound that will enable me to use it as a wall controller for my home automation system. So, ideally I'd like to remove the swipe to unlock feature (just be able to press the power button to get to the home screen) and to be able to force a nightly reboot with Tasker and remove as much bloatware as possible. This device is connected to my home network through wifi only. Any ideas what the best ROM would be for that?
By the way my recovery screen looks like undeadking's. I have S-On.
Thanks!

Easiest way to get where you want is to HTC unlock if not already done,
S-0ff with RumRunner, then follow this thread with all its great stuff:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2509770
You will end up with newest radios that are best for newer stock and custom roms.
There are several daily-user type custom roms mentioned in Development.
After you read a little about each, you'll know what you want to try first.
I like the custom Sense roms for best battery life.

Thanks, I was able to get my ROM working. The problem I was having was I was still S-ON. I was a little leery about turning it off so I found instructions for flashing with it still on here: androidforums.com/rezound-all-things-root/499172-how-manually-flash-roms.html
I installed the LiquidSmooth ROM and I was able to disable the lock screen. Thanks again.

There are ways using terminal emulator with an s-on device alongside using a proper busybox installation to flash without using a pc and no fastboot/hboot access is needed. flashing a boot.img while in rom, rebooting to recovery and finish installing the matching rom by flashing its zip.

the one big issue you need to worry about while being s-on is if you soft brick while s-on there is absolutely almost no fix...with s-off you con ruu.exe to safely restore your phone which you cannot do while s-on....if you plan on flashing custom roms alot than i HIGHLY suggest going s-off or you'll regret not doing so when that time comes

I second this... S-Off is highly recommended, it might not seem necessary now, but when something goes wrong, you will be glad you did it.
Thank you both. I had not read that before. I guess I will be performing the S-Off after all.
Don't freak out if your ROM doesn't boot after running rum runner happened to me xD just go into recovery and flash your stuff again. Clean flash it. Make sure you're s-off though Lol hopefully doesn't happen to you

Just do a quick backup of your ROM in recovery then when done restore it.

Just a thing. All my recoveries failed all 4, they would do the same thing and boot loop itself. *sigh* o well.
