Hi everybody,
I'm on Fourth Bar JellyBean Themed ROM for a week. After restart the phone, now it won't boot. I go back to ext4 recovery and it can't mount system, sd_card, etc so I'm unable to restore.
This is my daily driver. Please help Thank you very much.
Hmmm...you'll have to restore to a stock ruu via hboot since those have been the only way to fix such an issue.

I dont know how to flash the RUU. I am with videotron what rom I have to take because when I take the RUU (.exe) I have an error because it is GB rom and i am not s-off but it doesnt work when i take the OTA files .zip and rename it to PH85IMG and place it on sdcard . When i go in the bootloader it recognize it try to flash it but I cant boot the rom :S
Damn, that's a tricky one, um...try flashing the stock zip that hasoon made, otherwise I'll need to have a talk with keylogger.

There are plenty of RUU's that are ICS.. check the bible in signature. If you get a RUU loaded, it repartitions the phone, hence why the problem would be fixed.
Have you made any nandroid backups? I'm not saying you should restore them (won't do anything if it can't mount anything) but I'm wondering.

I can't get my phone to boot up so I can't use a RUU and when I go into fastboot and select recovery it just goes back into a bootloop I have looked everywhere for a stock ROM in the form of a .nbh and can't find any! Does anyone have one they could share? Thanks in advance! The Rezound doesn't have a Q&A section so I posted here.
*UPDATE* I found the PH98IMG's http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1365654
I am not at all familiar with an nbh file... Too my knowledge if you can still get into hboot you should be able to ruu.
I know when I relocked I couldn't boot back up with my normal ROM and used the ruu exe file to take care if it.... Try there first

It says in that tread that you can extract the PH98IMG from the RUU which did not work at all and the RUU's don't work from fastboot
Here is a link to a ruu file you should be able to rum through fastboot as all a your mainver is 2.01.605.11 rename as PH98IMG http://www.4shared.com/zip/MNDHXsaC/rom.html

I've had some RUU issues myself but was never able to find these files, so thanks for the link.
One question, did you have to flash stock recovery first, or does the PH file take care of all that clean up for you?

Running the RUU flashes the stock hboot, stock recovery, stock radio, stock kernel, and stock ROM, it is also reputed to wipe your "internal storage".
To return to root, you flash Amon Ra in fastboot and use the advanced menu to re-root, then you can flash a custom ROM and/or kernel.

I ran the RUU from Fastboot, so I know it does work.
why don't you just go back to fastboot and flash the recovery again to see if that fixes it?

I ended up having to return that Rezound because it had something seriously wrong with it. It messed up 1hr after I purchased it, I was on the Market and it went to the HTC logo and just kept rebooting, and the only thing I could do was get into fastboot. When I selected recovery it would just boot back to the HTC screen and when I tried to factory reset it did the same. I unlocked the bootloader and flashed the CWM recovery several times but it still would just go to the HTC screen. When I typed "fastboot boot recovery" it said it couldn't load the recovery. I formatted a sdcard, put the PH98IMG on it, it loaded the image but then would act like nothing was ever loaded instead of asking me to accept the update, and it would just go back to the main HBOOT directory Anyways all is well now Verizon replaced it with no problems as soon as they opened today.
Can some please give a knowledgeable answer on what is needed and not needed to upgrade the radios. Does S-ON or S-OFF is needed or can it just be done with root and unlocked. Read many articles/posts but everyone just keeps contradicting each other. Please provide steps so everyone stops asking questions or making comments that are not correct, thanks.
need to be s-off to flash radio's..... just copy the file to the root of your sdcard reneme it to just PJ75IMG Them flash it via bootloader it will ask if u want to update then press volume up to do so.. after its done reboot and your golden.. ohh and after it boots up delete the file off your sdcard.. if u dont it your bootloader will find it everytime and try and update again.. so just delete it..
I flashed the radio just fine without s-off in recovery....

Thank you. I will try this today using both methods to see what works. Will report back with findings.

you CAN flash radios with s-on through recovery, if you want everything else you need to be s-off. there is a thread labeled radios that tells you this.
You can flash the radio, but the PRI won't be written.
Best just to flash the new firmware through bootloader if you can still get S-off.
the above post is correct. Download the Radio Zip and place it in your SD card. install using TWRP.
I had totally wiped the rezound and updated to the Leaked ICS 3.14.605.5 RUU from a locked state to get the new firmware and everything first. That was successful. unlocked phone and re installed amon ra recovery and re rooted after that.
i used controlbear to get s-off on my rezound. bootloader shows s-off, however when i try to reboot the phone it just shows me the juopunutbear screen.
i believe if i flash the backed up boot.img i can get it working, however i don't know the path for using the fastboot flash boot "path" boot.img command.
can anyone help or point me in the right direction? i have been looking over the forum for hours and searching to no avail.
can't use USB toggle for sd card in recovery either, it doesn't allow me to see my ex sd on my computer.so i can't manually add a file, but maybe i can fastboot flash to the card? i need some help!
**EDIT** wow... i tried fastboot flash boot boot.img and it worked, no path, lmao i'll see what happens now
You don't have to flash a boot image when you are s off. Flash ruu twice.

the problem was that it messed up the sdcard so i couldn't put a rom on to flash it, or the ruu, so i had to flash the boot to get it to reboot the stock rom from the RUU i had on it. the phone is working now i just can't get the external sd card fixed and busybox won't install. says it can't find root or su.... trying to flash a rooted rom from a different sd so i can run busybox and fix my sd card. lol if only i had an adapter for sd card with me i could just format it in windows (its empty anyway) grrr

I used another sd card and was able to flash a custom rooted rom with supersu and busybox, which allowed me to fix sd card. everything is well and now im updated to ICS with a new awesome rom (ViperReZ1.0.3) and S-Off! woo hoo, this can be deleted
Congrats. I put a 1gb sd in when I did the process to save backup time and hassle of possibly losing data

I just did that today myself, but before I went through with the wire trick, I read the instructions.
It says to use the stock rom, maybe that is why you had that problem and I did not, but I am glad you got it going again.
I am still debating if I should trust the opinion of non-xda members on which rom to flash to, some input would be appreciated.

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.
OS : 4.0.3 ICS Running HTC Sense 3.6.
A quick fix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2017932
Flash my debloater, choosing the Sense option(will be brought to a widget removal screen if you don' use them all) & AOSP lockscreen. Disadvantage to that though, you will have to unlock to see the caller id when it rings.

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.

I have been having the worst time trying to take my Rezound back to stock. I rooted it a long while ago and am now stuck. I was able to relock but still at s-on and I cant seem to find the right RUU exe file to load the system back to stock. Current info is as follows;
HBOOT-2.25.0000
RADIO-1.22.10.0421r/1.22.10.0424r
OpenDSP-v13.6.0.7611.00.0104
eMMC-boot
Image version 3.14.605.12
I am a complete noob so I will need as much simple directions as possible. I am desperate at this point since I cant seem to get it to reload the stock. Every time I use the RUU.exe files
RUU_VIGOR_ICS_35_S_VERIZON_WWE_3.14.605.12_Radio_RS_1.22.10.0424r_3622A_MR3_9K_release_270509_signed.exe
Found on androidfiles.org/ruu/?developer=Vigor or any of the other ones it fails. Fortunately I have not bricked the phone yet but I am running out of options since android police site has one but says not to use it : This will not work if you used the HTC Bootloader unlock tool. Your device must be fully stock with a locked bootloader or you must have S-Off (method).
Help please!!!
Try this link here http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Vigor and download the PH98IMG_ICS_3.14.605.12.zip! Do not download any others. Rename it to PH98IMG.zip and flash in bootloader. It should allow you to flash it.

After you rename it place it on the root directory of the SD card. Then power phone off. Then press volume down + power so it boots into bootloader. There it should ask if you want to update. Tell it yes. It won't brick you as its the same s/w you seem to be on. Worst case it won't flash.
Edit: make sure you verify the md5!

My rezound is semi-bricked currently and I am also looking to get back to stock form. I think the most current ROM that I had on it would be like Infection2.3. But I cannot seem to get past the boot animation and I believe the RUU needs to be actually booted up all the way? I will check the Hboot versions and such when I get home. (I tried a ph98img in the root but when it attempted to flash I got "HBoot version is older than expected, exiting")

Remember to flash a ph98img zip RUU, the bootloader must be relocked and internal storage will also be completely wiped. Backup the contents in recovery using usb mass storage mounts.

Sounds like all that needs done is a factory reset(wipe caches+data) and wipe system. Re-flash a Sense rom and fastboot flash the matching boot.img. Try my rom Viral OTA, just the data/system wipes prior to flashing and it willk get you back up to 100%. Rememer to reboot to bootloader if using TWRP.
