So this time, I think I got the wire trick to work.
Doing S-Off on 2.21.0000 ICS leak (3.11.605.22), from S-On (unlocked), rooted, stockish ICS ROM.
I'm fairly certain the wire trick worked this time, but now ControlBear seems to be confused.
My phone booted itself into recovery, and I don't know what I should do. Reboot? reboot bootloader?
I got s-off finally but now I cane only boot into the bootloader or recovery and my SD card is not reading,what shall I do? Can i ruu back to stock now?

Is your bootloader on S-Off now?
This happened to me when I had a bad SDCard, and I thought I was doing the wire trick wrong.
All I had was Bootloader.
I use an ICS PH98IMG.zip RUU from bootloader to get the rest of my phone back, but I didn't even have a recovery.
I actually rebooted into the normal ROM, and controlbear stated that it failed.
I then (assuming rebootRUU hadn't been done, and thanks to a fine gentleman in #Juopunutbear) followed these:
http://unlimited.io/hboot-downloads/
And did rebootruu and flashed the juop bootloader.

It's like my phone won't read the SD card but it will read the internal SD through bootloader,how can i get my SD card to read again through recovery and the bootlader?

I'm so happy now i was able to Ruu my phone back to stock gingerbread,thanks for your help!
I recently went to change my ROM on my HTC amaze, but after I was finished installing it went to reboot and ever since no matter what I do, it just stays on the white htc screen. The only thing I can get to is into Recovery. I locked boot loader and unlocked it and after doing so I noticed it said S ON. How do I turn s off while stuck in recovery mode? Im using the ZurgRushTemp root but it says that I need my phone in usb debugging mode and I dont know how to do that in recovery mode. If I sound like a total idiot it's probably because I am. Previously I have unlocked boot loader and rooted my phone and downloaded other roms and it worked fine. I have no fricken clue what happened. Please help me.. How do I s off to install another rom while I can only get into recovery mode?
What recovery did you flash?
If its not 4EXT then you need to flash the kernel using fastboot.

Alright slowly but surely I'm catching on to all this stuff.. I think. I found "Hasoon2000's HTC amaze all in one kit" on another fourm so im using that. So I want to flash a 4ext recovery?

just get the stock RUU for your phone. Re-lock your bootloader. Rename what you downloaded to PH85IMG.zip. place it in the root directory of your external SD card. reboot your phone into HBOOT and it should automatically flash the stock recovery and ROM. this WILL wipe your phone clean. then you can unlock the bootloader, root it, flash a custom recovery then a ROM of your choice.

Unlocking the bootloader won't change your phone into s-off. So, what you see is correct.
Forget about ZergRush. It won't work, or necessary at all if you unlocked your bootloader, anyway.
Edit: I forgot to mention. Try 'adb logcat' to see if your phone even gets to the boot sequence. If you see your screen gets filled up with tons of stuff, hit control-c to stop it. Then enter adb logcat > logfile.txt to capture it. You can post it here for someone to take a look.
If you can get into bootloader and/or recovery, your phone isn't in a bad shape at all. If you can access your phone from a pc with adb or fastboot (which, you should have if you've unlocked your bootloader), there are things you can try.
1. boot your phone into recovery and see if you can access it through adb shell. Do you see a shell prompt ('$' or '#' sign)? On the phone, use the mount option to mount system and data partitions to see if they are mountable. You can use 'ls -l' on the shell prompt to look around, if you like.
2. If your phone is accessible, but not bootable, the first thing I would try is to flash a boot image. You probably have one sitting in the pc folder you used to unlock, or hanson's all-in-one tool has it.
3. If you flash a fresh boot image (kernel) and the phone still won't boot up, the next thing I would try is to restore from a nandroid backup. I'm sure you've made a backup before you started, right?
4. If the nandroid restore doesn't work, you can try flashing a stock rom like someone elese suggested. You just copy the zip file, which you download from the stock rom thread in the dev section, to the external sd card, rename it to PH85IMG.zip, and reboot your phone into the bootloader. The phone will detect the stock rom if it's there and asks you whether to install the update or not. Remember to download the correct file for your carrier.
5. If nothing works, come back here and post your result. I'm afraid your phone may have a corrupt nand memory...

You used the wrong image, went about using that ota file incorrectly as well, Oh boy, ite, let's keep our fingers crossed on this.
You said your hboot was 1.93.0002? Correct? If you're s-on, this may or may not work, lets hope it does, since's it practically your only hope, though I wonder what your cid currently is set to.
Since you did s-off, you should know how to use adb. Shut the phone off via battery pull, boot up into hboot then go into fastboot, using adb check your cid via this command: fastboot getvar cid
Let me know what it is when you're done, we'll work from there, hopefully we can get this done.
sorry, forgot to pull sd card so it ran the PH85IMG twice,
the cid is
11111111

Cid is 11111111 and you're s-on? Lucky you, well download the mobilicity GB stock ruu exe file, reboot into fastboot and run the file to restore your phone to complete stock GB, hopefully it goes through, though I don't see why it wouldn't, if you're s-on, you'll have to relock your bootloader before doing this.
Thanks! hopefully it'll work

You can download the ruu from the ruu/ota thread in the same forum, the dev host upload by krook is much faster.
Do not change the name of that file, it's an exe file, you have to run it via a pc with your phone connected via usb cable in fastboot mode.
Recently bought a mint Rezound that has h-boot 2.10 & CleanRom 4.5 DE.
I want to make it a clone of the setup in my sig, can I just s-off the thing then flash the kernel/ROM setup I'm running now??
yeah s-off... and go nuts!! you can flash anything at that point.
Alright, I'm trying to figure out what Is going wrong here.
If I hook my existing phone to my PC everything works fine.
If I hook the new resound to the PC nothing happens (phone and card is not recognized) and I've tried threee different cables, two batteries etc,
The new phone opens into cleanrom 4.5 DE but immediatelly crashes and restarts before I have a chance to do anything at all.
Anybody?
Can you get to recovery? Amon Ra will allow you to mount the SD card. Put an RUU on it and see if that will recover the phone.

I'm trying to revert as well and I have a question.
I reverted to the stock GB ROM from my clean ICS rom using my nandroid back up.
Obviously I lose the ability to access my sd card.
I have S-off.
1. will installing this over write my backup ed GB ROM?
2. after installing it, will I see the sd card again?
3. I'm trying to send the rezound back to verizon because it is over heating (45Celcius during angry birds XD), having this ruu installed is like having a pure stock phone and I shouldnt worry about verizon saying it was rooted?
4. Do I rename and drop this in the root folder of the internal sd card and then boot to hboot?
thanks!

Installing this puts it back to stock. Over writes everything. You rename it to PH98IMG.ZIP then put it on your ext sd card not in a folder. You'll have to run it twice. Then if you want it totally stock you can turn the secure flag back on by doing what this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t= says

Search and try installing HTC drivers for the Rezound, usually can install HTC Sync and delete if you don't need the Sync feature, drivers stay behind. Attempt on a clean computer with no other phone drivers too to start, or Uninstalling Device Drivers in Hardware Manager on current PC when Rezound is connected. Then install HTC Sync and reconnect phone.
For booting into the ROM, may be a network bootloop, there is a sticky about it. Try with the backplate off, or even SIM removed if signal is still strong. Try and rule that issue out first.

It is 98, not 89. Case sensitivity may or may not matter, do PH98IMG.zip should solve that part.
Edit: yes, flash the RUU twice and it should reset everything, including radios. Do a factory reset in the boot menu too after all files are off phone, and sure the ROM worked (radios and data, and WiFi are working without error.)

yes you can use this. Just s-off, relock your phone, and flash the GB RUU. then run the command in scotty's post to get back to s-on. then on your new phone, i wouldnt even unlock. just straight to s-off. its better then HTC "dev" unlock.

That's what I thought too.
S-off process requires unlocked
state to do its thing.
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.

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.

Get into recovery via fastboot in the bootloader after removing/replacing the battery and holding Power+VolumeDown until the bootloader screen appears.
After you are in recovery, either restore a nandroid backup of a configuration that you know works or "format all partitions except SD card" and flash a ROM.
If you don't have a working recovery, connect your phone in the bootloader fastboot mode to a PC with the ADB/fastboot files installed and flash a custom recovery using fastboot.

Just checked your OP and you said you have the locked stock 1.58 bootloader so you will need to install a custom bootloader like JBear 1.58.5858 to flash recovery from fastboot or use a PG86IMG.zip version of your recovery and flash it from the bootloader.

Did you try to re-flash your recovery from fastboot?

No, I am not sure the commands to type in fastboot.

Can you please walk me through how to re-flash my recovery from fastboot? I think I lost my recovery.

How did you get root and S-OFF? Flashing a custom recovery had to be part of that procedure.
Well, if you don't unlock your stock bootloader, which I don't recommend since there is no way to get it back to "locked" without doing the wire trick again, you will need to install a custom bootloader first as I indicated in my last post. You can try flashing the attached PG86IMG.zip version of 4EXT instead. Install it the same way you would an hboot.

I'm sorry I misunderstood what you said. I am on 4EXT recovery, I tried to re flash 4EXT which it aborts, try to flash rom it aborts, try restore..loads it fine then after restart stuck on HTC screen. Lost

Delete the PG86IMG.zip file from the root of your SD card then flash a custom hboot like ENG (1.04) or JBear GB (1.50.5050) using this post, then you should be able to flash using fastboot commands.

If this helps, after doing these steps above the problems started. I did delete all PG86IMG files then flashed JBear GB 1.50 (I thought you were giving me a link to downgrade to 1.5) but I am on 1.58 locked s-off. Now I can't flash anything it just aborts. Can't even reflash the recovery b/c it aborts that too.

At this point I'm totally confused about what your current problem(s) are versus what you reported in the OP of this thread. The "parsing" problem you mentioned was probably related to having a PG86IMG.zip file left in the root of your SD card and deleting it certainly shouldn't have affected anything else. I don't think there was anything actually completed from my subsequent posts in this thread that would affect your ability to flash a bootloader, recovery or ROM, so either something was already damaged on your phone, possibly by flashing something intended for another phone, or I'm just not understanding the terminology you are using to describe your problem.
Maybe someone else can jump in at this point and try to help you. It would probably help to post some screen shots or at the least the actual messages you are getting when the things you are trying fail.

Sorry I couldn't help you identify your problem. I edited my last post to suggest that you post what the actual messages are when you try to do different things and if you can do that it might be easier to figure out what is actually happening.

Your problem is kiind of confusing.Some Pics might help.
Had a similar issue on friends phone. Using another sdcard fixed the aborting issue. Had to format the sdcard to get it to function normally.

That's a great suggestion. If you recently did the wire trick your SD card could be corrupted and might need reformatting and restoring from your backup.
If that's the problem you could also try removing the SD card, then going into "fastboot usb" mode in the bootloader to flash recovery with the fastboot command since that doesn't require an SD card.

How can you be on locked 1.58 hboot even after flashing GB 1.50 hboot? And you said it aborted. Are you sure you are flashing the hboot via your bootloader and not recovery?
If another sdcard or formatting it doesnot work (or you dont want to do that) or if you just dont want to go through any hassle, your simplest and best bet is to use RUU.

Although flashing an RUU won't fix a corrupted SD card so it that's the cause of all or part of his problems he's going to have to format and restore it or replace it with another card.

I don't think it's the sdcard b/c when I did the wire trick I used an older 2gb card, then swapped it out for a 16GB card and it worked fine untill this morning. I am going to have to run the RUU and start from scratch. Again, sorry for the confusion and thanks for the help guys.
