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.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
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!

So i have the 3.14 RUU version of ICS running right now, i am rooted and unlocked as well (no problems with phone at all). It shows that i am on hboot 2.11 when i go into the BL. When i go onto the juopunutbear site for Rezound it gives a list of which i need to download. My question is what firmware version do i need to download GB firmware or ICS firmware (3.14 leak) and do i need to update to a different version of hboot. I flashed the GB patch after i flashed the 3.14 RUU after i unlocked and rooted.
I have read so many posts on s-off for the rezound i am getting very confused. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You don't have ICS firmware on your phone. 2.11 is the OTA for GB. ICS is 2.21 or 2.25. If you are on GB firmware (which you are now) you need the GB modified hboot. If you upgrade your firmware to 2.21 or 2.25, depending on which RUU you run, you need the ICS modified hboot.
ok so i have GB firmware ( the hboot 2.11 ) . so i need to update hboot to 2.21 or 2.25 then correct. That wont mess up 3.14 leak that i have right now will it?
Do s-off with GB download then don't do the RUU. Instead flash the jb hboot and 5/7 radios along with a from that has been updated past 5/8.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA
do i flash the GB 2.11 hboot (JB) or an ICS hboot? This is starting to sound like i must have GB all across the board
ICS 2.21. As you will be using the newer radios. Also, don't unlock, as you can flash anything with either of the patched hboots even if locked.
And no you don't need "GB acrosed the board", just trying to make it easier with less flashing of hboot

when i flashed the 3.14 my hboot still showed as and still it 2.11. I dont think it should show as this right?
He doesn't. Has hboot 2.11. He need to flash 3.14 using the PH98IMG.zip to get the updated firmware and radios. Then s-off using the ICS jbear firmware.
Yes I know that he can flash them separately after s-off, but it will just be easier to flash the RUU first.

Ahh I see, you are on 3.14 w/ GB firmware.
@Emerikl
From my earlier post. It was a serious question, no disrespect to you nor sarcasm at all.
No worries man. No harm no foul.
alrighty so i need to update the hboot then to ICS...looking in the firmware thread i choose ICS 2.25 stock 5-7 right?
aircrew85, you need to get the RUU from here download that and rename it to PH98IMG.zip.
Put it on the root of your sd card boot to the bootloader. Let it do this twice. The first pass updates the hboot and may hang for a long long time at the white htc screen. The second pass updates the system files and this takes a long time also, so make sure you have your battery charged.
***WARNING*** This will erase everything on your internal sd card, so if you have anything on there you want, get it off before start the RUU process.
Then do the S-Off technique using the ICS firmware option.
Flash Amon Ra or TWIP for your recovery.
Flash whatever ROM you want
aaaaah ok thanks!

Get the 2.01.605.11 .zip from here
http://www.androidfilehost.com/main/Rezound_Developers/wildstang83/RUU/GB/
Rename it to ph98IMG and place it on root of sd card. It would function the same as the .exe but all steps would be done on the phone itself.

i tried that but then it said "parsing ph98img" and then it just reboots back to my ICS leak
let me re-download
Dunno why the .exe version isn't working for you, what problem? Just make sure the download itself is good, drivers are good (Google and download HTC Sync) and USB debugging is turned on in the phone's settings, should be fine.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19756694
Grab the 2.01.605.11 RUU .zip version, rename to PH98IMG.zip, slap it on the SD card and go to the bootloader if nothing else. Then follow that S-On guide listed in the same thread. Make sure to factory reset before shipping off.
Edit: just saw previous posts, check md5 of your downloads, does sound like you're getting a bad connection to get all these errors.

You have to unlock the bootloader to re run the ruu if I remember correctly. That will take you back to stock gb with s-off and lock.

I've been pretty braindead and stressed out lately, feel I've harmed more than helped on a few troubleshoots.
But I assure you 100% the bootloader will not read "locked" that way; RUUs do not affect the Locked/Relocked/Unlocked flag.
Once Unlocked, HTC Dev only toggles that message and Relocked.
To get from Unlocked after S-off to simply Locked means setting up stock, do S-on, and running through S-off procedure again.

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.

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.

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.
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.
Thanks!
Fastboot unlock. Or just S-Off.

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

I *think* I'm on a stock hboot. I never purposely changed it so it should be stock unless Conrom changed it.

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.

I already have the ruu on my computer. I installed it before I installed Conrom and then removed it from my sd card. I realize I need to lock my bootloader but that's where I got hung up. When I relocked, it wouldn't boot past the hboot/fastboot screen.
I don't know if it's safe to put the ruu back on my sd card, relock and reload the ruu.

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

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.

Okay. I'm back in action! Not sure how that happened but it doesn't matter now.
Thanks all!
Before I hard brick my phone, I'm hoping someone can help me get back to an RUU.
I was unlocked and running a custom ROM, but was having some video problems. I was on the HBOOT 2.28 Global ICS FW. I did the JuopunutBear S-off last night, so that I could run an RUU and go back to a stock Firmware. I got S-Off, and flashed back to a GB RUU, RUU_Vigor_VERIZON_WWE_1.00.605.3_Radio_RS_0.93.00.0914r_3161C1_9K_NV_8k_1.12_9k_1.83_V_APT_release_216261_signed.exe
The RUU completed fine, and I was able to boot into the stock RUU GB. I decided to S-on again, because I was hoping to start getting the OTA updates. After I went S-on again, I couldn't get it to find any OTA updates available.
I thought maybe it was too old of an RUU, so I tried running a newer one like RUU_Vigor_VERIZON_WWE_1.02.605.6_Radio_RS_0.95.00.1013r_3161E_9K_NV_8k_1.12_9k_1.83_V_APT_release_221502_signed.zip
RUU_Vigor_VERIZON_WWE_2.01.605.11_Radio_RS_0.95.00.1123r_3161E_9K_QMR_release_233635_signed.exe
I couldn't get either one to run. I thought maybe it was because I wasn't S-off anymore, so I unlocked again and tried to re-run control bear. S-off kept failing, and then realized I had forgotten to root my device. Now, when I power on, I get the HBOOT screen, and then tries to load the Juopunut screen and just sits there.
I can get to the SD card using a USB card reader, and I can get into HBOOT.
HBOOT shows version 2.05.0000 S-on unlocked eMMC-boot but doesn't show any radio versions?
Not sure, what to do now?
Why on earth would you have gone back to GB?
Also, Son or Soff is irrelevant to OTA updates if your stock.
I would get the last official RUU, 3.14.605.12 and load that... You should be able to then OTA to current. Or just Soff again, flash radios and hboot, and a stock ROM image.

Can you tell me how to get that to install from where I'm at now?

Basically, download the RUU file, rename to PH98IMG.zip, copy to SD Card, boot into H-Boot, the system will detect the update file, confirm the load, and the rest is automatic but be patient, it will reboot several times... even after it comes up give it 15 minutes to settle down before doing anything crazy

Awesome, glad you got it working... now be patient, it should update in a few steps, first to 3.14.605.13, then after that is up and working it should upgrade to 4.5.605.14. Sometimes this can take a few days to occur. If it doesn't, you will need to S-OFF again and manually flash the hboot/radios and ROM.

Like ace said, probably too old... probably don't even host the update on vzw's servers anymore. Generally, from what I understand, as long as you don't S-ON while on jp's hboot or some other hboot, you should be able to recover. ONLY S-ON if you are on a booting stock hboot and rom (RUU is safest).
It's pretty hard to hard brick other than that (afaik).
