So Sprint finally said there was a system update to ICS so I downloaded it and installed and it instantly popped up an error, didn't have any words it was just a picture of the guy with the warning sign. So I waited and it never did anything. I figured I would clear everything/factory reset and see if that fixed it. Nope. Even moreso, it wouldn't let me install any other ROM either. I did enough superwipes and stuff that I finally got the stock ROM to work so I'm back where I started.. One clue might be that I cannot seem to clear the sd-ext, it gives me an error there.
With it back in working order, if I don't clear anything and just try and install ICS from bootloader, what I show in the pic is what happens.
The last part about the E:error in sd card is what I was getting when all the other ROM's were screwing up.
Maybe bad sdcard

I don't see how when it works fine now. It's like something is messing with it but I have no clue what.
Re-lock your device and apply the update again.
Just do a fastboot command "fastboot oem lock".
Ugh, you cannot take an OTA if you are rooted with a custom recovery.

wow! are you F***ing serious? OH I'M ROOTING AND I'M GOING TO TAKE AN OTA? SERIOUSLY!? lmao! Other than that, I'm not going to say anything more. lol. I WISH I WAS ROOTED AND HAD 1.4 INSTALLED WHEN I GOT MY PHONE! but no! it came with 1.5 and it took a year to figure out how to downgrade. lol. oh well. now they've figured everything out. can s-off with being on 1.5. love everyone on here. Anyway, DO NOT TAKE AN OTA!
I am not the greatest with these things. You are saying I need to unroot my phone for this to work? And I need to somehow get rid of the revolutionary recovery thing? I don't know what OTA means but I can see it's part of the file name. Is there a non-OTA version of it that I can use? For some reason a lot of ROM's don't work. I have hboot 1.5 with s-on and cynogenmod and a lot of ICS ROM's just hang on the HTC screen.

You don't need to unroot, but you need to lock your bootloader and get the stock recovery back to take the OTA. The easiest way to upgrade to ICS without doing all that is to flash the new firmware, then flash a stock rooted rom if you want to stay on the stock rom.

Upgrade firmware through bootloader, then flash a stock rooted rom or a custom rom based on ICS. If you want to use the new kernel, you will have to upgrade hboot as well, or you can keep your current hboot and use the VM leak kernel.
For some reason a lot of ROM's don't work.

Could be a number of reasons, you need the new firmware to run an ICS rom, and you need the new hboot if those roms use the new kernel.

You can't flash kernels with s-on, so you will need to get s-off before you want to use an ICS rom.

Whenever I try to flash a ROM I always get "main version older". I'm on the stock, rooted gingerbread ROM right now with an unlocked bootloader and if I try to flash any ROM whether it's a gingerbread or ICS ROM I always get the same message when the phone reboots to the bootloader to flash the kernel.
What can I do about this?
After I first unlocked my phone I tried to install an ICS rom then I installed a gingerbread rom after and I never saw that message once. Then I started seeing it so I went back to stock to see if that would fix my issue but it hasn't.

It mostly mean your htc rezound is on a newer main version of software you going to need to downgrade by changing the number here a link to help you do this and take out the older message that come up http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467099
So, theoretically, if I take it all the way back down to 1.00.000.0 I could be able to flash anything because whatever I flash will always be greater than the main version.

...Gingerbread roms aren't working either. I have flashed 1 ICS rom and 2 Gingerbread roms in the past but for some reason now, I can't flash anything.
I'm wondering if flashing the stock RUU and relocking, then unlocking again and reflashing Amon Ra would fix the issue. After I originally unlocked was the only time I could ever successfully flash anything.
Don't see how locking and re-unlocking would make a difference.

I'm running out of options.
So like most users, I was very excited to hear about the ICS leak by Football since I've been waiting MONTHS for some sort of development on that.
Getting impatient on waiting for CM9 and Evervolv builds for the Amaze, I really wanted to try this new leak for T-Mobile. So I figured that in order to do that, I must get S-Off.
It seemed like a tedious process so I've been holding it off for a while. Now that I've got a copper wire and everything, I wanted to do the deed once and for all.
So I accidentally flashed a stock rom (which I thought was a good thing since the instructions said I needed a stock rom), but I seem to have lost root access. Superuser runs, but battery calibration says I need to have root first and Titanium Backup doesn't work. However, my phone still says unlocked and I can still run ClockworkMod Recovery. The S-Off program tells me that there's an error. Is there anyone that can help?

Well you are on T-mobile so you have two choices here. you can S-off if you want to have total freedom or you can revert your phone to stock and relock your bootloader and flash it and then re-unlock again. but remember flashign this without s-off may prevent you from getting s-off later on.

Pretty sure you just use fastboot to lock, open a command prompt with your phone attached in debugging mode, type in fastboot oem lock, then install the stock rom listed in the development section. (If I am wrong on this, someone please feel free to correct me.)
I'm brand new to this phone and the rezound section on xda. I bought two of these phones yesterday and have both of them S=OFF at the moment. (Last night's fun)
In hboot they say "locked" even though S=OFF on both devices. I'd like to install an ICS ROM, but I'm not really sure what I need to install first before installing the ROM so it doesn't get all messed up.
I remember installing/flashing something on my Sensation to get ICS running on that device, but I'm just a little confused with the steps in the Development section because I'm new here.

woah wait what
what are you guys saying?

you don't need to do anything special, you are s-off!
just get the 600mb ph98img.zip from the latest leak and drop it on your SD card.
it'll have to flash twice (first reboot after boot/recovery is flashed, then it does the rest the second time through)
that's how i went to the leak, still locked and s-off. and it runs great!

Is there something wrong with the Custom ROMs? (Please Developers don't stone me)
I just came from a device with tons of custom ROMs that were way better than anything stock and would install a kernel and everything through recovery when you were installing the ROM...
I'm just not used to the process yet with this device.
I don't think there's anything wrong with them.
I just haven't taken the plunge yet, still researching.... regardless, Once you're fully up to date on the latest RUU, going to a custom rom based on it will be a piece of cake. But i'm not sure the developers have updated their roms to all the latest leaks, in which case, check with the rom you're trying to upgrade to - I'm not certain they all include new kernels/radios...etc. like the leaked ICS does.

Great question, let me test that right now.
Edit: seems to not work straight up with the one from the market. i'll check a different .apk that I have here, i know the custom roms use their own .apk's usually.
as i recall from doing this on GB, you gotta configure it right, and then it'll work. But you DO need root, so after you RUU, install AmonRA 3.15, and run the su/superuser install from the recovery menu.
I'm interested in getting the latest OTA update and attempt to S-Off. I am currently unlocked via HTCDev, on the old GB firmware, and running CleanROM DE.
How do I go about doing this? I've searched the forum and attempted to relock for a couple of hours now with no success. Can someone please give me some instructions on what I need to do? From what I've read, it would be better to get the latest OTA before attempting S-Off. Is that right?
I am no expert, but I believe if you made a back up of the stock Rom, you could just restore it, then s-off. It would be easier to s-off, then you could ruu the newest update, and install a custom recovery after that. Like I said, I am no expert.

Those are the instructions I was following. It says you must be on a stock gingerbread ROM or the 3.14.605.5 ICS Leak niether of which i am on so I guess that was my issue. It would get stuck after the first reboot and tell me to check device manager for adb or hboot drivers. I'm fairly certain I have all the drivers installed so it must be the rom I'm on. Thats why I was trying to figure out how to get back to stock.

you could try Sunshine to get S-OFF it cost $25 dollars but it can S-OFF your device.

I have my phone set up like I want it. Stable, everything works. Running 4.4.2 rooted, unlocked, twrp recovery, etc. All the apps I want. So on and so forth.
Will nandroid backup made now work after I run this ruu? Basically update the os and then recover everything the way I have it set up now?
Sorry for asking what seems, even to me, a basic beginners question.

In short...No. First off, you can't install the 4.4.3 update if you have a TWRP recovery installed. You have to have the stock recovery in order to do the update. But...for the sake of argument, you did the update and...then re-rooted and restored your nandroid. You would in effect overwrite the update and put yourself back to where you started (if that makes any sense).
My advice would be to install a custom ROM that containes the 4.4.3 update already...or put a stock recovery back on your phone and do the update. There is a nice all-in-one update you can run right off the sdcard using Hboot. I did it and it was flawless.
Either way, you'll most likely be setting up your phone again but that really shouldn't be too bad. Take some screenshots so you will remember just how you had things.
Hope this helps and good luck.

I have to ask, if you went through all that trouble, why would you ever want to run ATT software? You could have easily converted to Dev Edition and never looked back.

I can't answer for the OP, but coming from the factory unlocked version and having tried various firmwares and ROMs (including Dev), the ATT RUU is the only one that gives me true LTE speeds.
Scott, could you point me towards that update using Hboot?
