I am only 1/2 a noob cause I did this back in June - I rooted & installed CleanRom. I am 98% sure I did not go S-off, I am not sure what firmware I am on - Screenshot attached - hope it is helpful. The recovery software I have RA Revamped Build: RA-Vigor-v3.15, I thought I started with clockwork mod, not sure where this came from.
I would now like to try NILS Sense-less NeoMAX 2.0 [ICS De-Sensed 3.14.605.12]
Can someone tell me exactly what I need to do?
I appreciate the help.

I'm pretty sure this post qualifies you for full noob status.
I'd help you out but I'm out of the loop on rezound roms and such lately.
Anyway, free bump for you.
PM AshtonTS, he'll help you out.

Actually, from your baseband version, you're on gingerbread firmware.
So you can either flash NeoMax with an old firmware patch, or update to ics with a RUU.
I recommend updating to ics firmware.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW
Yes update to the latest ruu first. It will make things so much easier. Be aware that you need to get everything off you phone before you start the process, it will erase everything except for what is on the external sd card.
And yes this qualifies you as a full blown n00b. Sorry.

yep, as stated by other memebers you are runing GB with ICS firmware patch. which is fine but your radios are out dated.
you have 2 options at this point.
option 1 is to update to the .12 ruu, the one before the global release. this will give you the ability to flash newer roms that are not built off the global release, which there are more options to flash. this method will keep you s-on and still enjoy all the wonderful roms out there.
option 2 is to update to the global ruu. this will give you the most up to date rom s, but the downside is if you want to go back to an earlier build of ICS like neo's non global rom you will need to s-off the device.
let me know what option you want and i can help you with a mini guide on updating.

I think 3.14 based roms still work on global firmware as long as you use the right kernel.
But nonetheless, it's always best to be on a rom matching your firmware.

Man you guys rock!
What reason is there to stay s-on other than it is a bit trick to achieve s-off? I think everything becomes easier once I am s-off? So maybe I should just but the bullet (or the paperclip so to speak) and do it.
ASOP looks so interesting - when that is out and stable I most likely will want to try it - does that change what I should do in any way?

When you s off, you have to be on a rom matching your firmware. So ics rom on gingerbread firmware is a no go.

Again thanks to all taking the time to help - it is appreciated.
So I need to flash an updated firmware, I am sorry to be dense but firmware and rom are not the same? When I google 3.14.605.10 firmware download I get links to the OTA update that would seem to be the official rom.
Once I get that figured out I can Run Juopunut's S-OFF And then install any rom I want. .
I think.

Not the final but another leak with a new radio. Hopefully this means the OTA is close and im praying we finally get some custom kernels. Wish we could flash the radio seperatly though.

You CAN flash the radio separately... but I believe you still need to lock the phone first and flash the firmware.img file inside a PH98IMG.zip at HBOOT.

No.. I believe you need S-OFF to flash it from recovery, or to flash it without first re-locking your phone and doing it from HBOOT.
Can we RUU back if there are issues with this build?
Im not updating until this goes final but how do we relock the device? I assume after we upgrade we can unlock again?

Yes, you would just have to go through the procedure at HTC dev again to unlock.
to relock in fast boot at a command prompt fastboot oem lock.
and that will relock it .

yep I figured they wouldn't release ever since they announced the one series of phones.
we will not see sense 4.0 because of the HTC One Series phones.
Once those are released, we have a ten fold better chance at seeing sense 4.0..Officially..
we will be getting sense 4.0 as a ROM that's stable and nice, IMO, soon.
So the phone has to be stock, not unlocked..and I can install ics that easy? Any riskz?

Just to let u guys know the screenshot is incorrect for whatever reason. I updated to the new leak and it does have new radios. I don't know how to post a screenshot but the baseband version now shows 1.22.10.0310r, 1.22.10.0308r. Also, new PRI version is 1.16_002, 2.07_002.

I completely dissagree.
as unlocked is great, as we have root.
s-off is desirebale, and this is why,
with s-off, you can flash radio's in hboot, you can't do that with s-on, you must install the OTA, RUU.
but I do agree that unlocking us is a very good thing, but s-off does have many more benefits.
with s-off we could flash the new ICS firmware, and if you didn't like it flash back to GB OTA.
withs-on, if you flash that "leak" firmware, (or any other firmware, radio,hboot) you are now stuck on them.
The main things I miss from having an s-off phone was these,
1) flashing anything and everything I wanted, I could accept OTA, flash hboots, flash radios, whatever I wanted.
this was thanks to the XTC clip and having s-off.

Thanks for clarifying this. So what you are saying is even with the MainVer "fix" (setting to low) we can't flash a GB RUU after we flash an ICS RUU?
If so then I was misinformed or interpreted my research improperly. I was under the impression that we could still do whatever we wanted even though doing so might require additional steps.
TIA
Edit: Apparently this is looking bleak. Doesn't appear as if you can downgrade the RUU. This was apparently tried unsuccessfully as discussed in the Scott's Rom thread. Really sucks and is a great reason why S-off is needed. Not that you would want to downgrade but this is MY phone dammit'.
Edit 2: Good News. Scrosler just flashed back to a GB Rom and had no issues other then the "SD Card" issue which he stated was an "easy" fix. This still doesn't allow for a radio downgrade but apparently the new radios are still compatible with the GB ROM's. LINK
S-OFF DEVICES ONLY
I WILL ONLY SAY THIS ONCE, IF YOU HAVE DATA ISSUES FROM SWITCHING FIRMWARES YOU MUST FLASH THE STOCK RECOVERY AND PERFORM A FACTORY RESET IN HBOOT
DO NOT S-ON THE ENG OR JB HBOOT OR IT WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE
ANYTHING DONE AT THIS POINT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY NOT MINE
So what is this?
Well ill answer that, these are Hboot/Radio/Firmware Combos
What do you do with these?
The purpose of these is avoid performing a full RUU if you would like to upgrade or downgrade firmwares/radios
So why do these include Hboot/radio/firmware files, cant we just flash the radios?
NO, mix and matching all of these has be known to cause data issues. Its best to flash the whole set to prevent data issues
How do you flash these?
Assuming you checked the MD5 sum, just rename these to PH98IMG.zip and place on the root of your external sdcard
New firmware patch huh?
This is simply for those upgrading to ICS firmware on a GB rom Or and ICS rom that had the gingerbread patch flashed over it
Whats the difference between the stock Hboots and the JB/ENG Hboots?
Simply, These Hboots have fastboot commands enabled WITHOUT unlocking the bootloader
I suggest if you use fastboot alot to use these hboots
Thanks to CharliesTheMan i now have a spot on AndroidFileHost
Heres how to tell which file you need
Each file will be named accordingly
[Firmware][Hboot version][JB or Stock hboot][Date of leak if applicable]
So an example would be [GB][2.11][JB]PH98IMG.zip
i suggest you check the MD5 and if you dont know what an MD5 is then you need to research what it is before flashing any of these
Here's the Link: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=3054
Thanks to the JuopunutBear Team for getting us S-off, Jcase for the leaked Hboot
Very very nice. Thank you. Flash this and a GB rom, and it's on old firmware.
superchilpil said:
Since i didnt want to run the gingerbread ruu and mess with nandroiding back to get the eng hboot i made this
This is the eng hboot bundled up with the old firmware, you ust use the old firmware patch to run ics roms after flashing this
just place it on the root of your sd card, rename, and reboot to hboot
It will reboot once during the flash this is normal

This will only downgrade your firmware. Your rom should be left intact. However you will need to flash the GB firmware patch over your rom immediately after doing this or you will have problems. If you want to downgrade android itself, flash a gb rom after doing this or just flash the whole gb ruu

The firmware patch also fixes an audio lib that causes constant reboots.
I am on stock rooted 2.01 with all original firmware. If I use both of the files is the OP along with one of the ICS roms will everything work correctly? If not what would I need to do? I would prefer to stay on the GB firmware as I have been getting great service, 3g and 4G speeds.

If your stock then you don't need to flash the hboot file unless you just want the eng hboot, you could just use cons for that
This is meant to downgrade those who upgraded their firmware to the new ics leak
But if you just want to run an ics Rom with the old firmware then just flash the patch in recovery and you should be good

I'm a bit new with the Rezound, I was pretty experienced with the DInc2 and DInc before it, but I'm wondering something, I've looked around a bit, so apologies if I missed a thread, but I haven't found a straight up direct answer.
I have the latest ICS leak installed on my phone, I haven't rooted or s-off'd the phone just yet.... so what I need to know is:
1. Do I need to be S-OFF to flash the GB RUU so I can get the OTA when it releases?
OR
2. Will the phone still pick up the OTA with the leaked version of ICS since the leak is still an "official" build etc.
Hello, i'm also looking for same info, only i'm like a super noobie, I have an RUU, INSTALLED the HTC sync, which failed saying "waiting for boot loader" and that's all she wrote. So I think I need to do something to the boot loader, only what i'm not too sure.
Thanks.

Good question, not new to htc, I came from the tbolt, but if I run the latest ruu as a .img file through hboot, how would I get back to the stock gb rom that's currently on my rez, or will I be able to accept the ota while on the leak?
from my knowledge you will be able to ota to the release as long as it is a higher version that what the current leak is.
and if that fails you could s-off then gb ruu and then ota up.
I would like to go back to a nandroid backup of GB ROM that I had before I updated my firmware to the latest ICS leak. I can get it to restore & boot up, but I have no access to my sd card, so I have none of my apps. I feel like I've tried everything - nandroid helper, old firmware fix - but I don't know what to do next. Any suggestions?
In my trials to go back to a ginger bread RUU based firm ware, the process gets stuck at waiting on the boot loader, the phone is apparently not recognized. It is also not seen by the HTC sync.
the boot loader has been locked I don't know what to do next. It doesn't appear I can flash anything from fast boot menu.
Thanks for reading this far.

Technically you will need s-off to PH98IMG back to the January OTA or alternatively restore a nandroid, using con's nandroid helper and ....

Disable or uninstall HTC Sync for this. It interferes with the process. Some missing information; what is your current firmware?

Hello and thanks for your time looking into this.
I am on ICS Leak - and need to go back to GB - the thing is good but the battery is atrocious and it heats like anything.
So I went ahead and put the thing in boot loader and then ran the RUU after exiting the HTC sync. Now I am getting Error 140 - Boot loader version Error.
Ah the pain this phone is causing
I have one more question: Do I have to do this every time I want to go back to a previous backup (one that I did prior to updating to the ICS firmware)? If so, I'm wondering if it wouldn't just be easier to go back to GB firmware......
Ver Change for Error 140 - Android SDK CMD???
According to my research - I need to down the version using hex editor via ADB Shell. Dear God !
I have tried / installed SDK/ and Java Dev Kit. No Go - is there an app I can do this on the phone itself?
Thanks

Given I cannot downgrade back from HBoot 2.25.0000 is it not simpler to wait for the next RUU - whatever that is may over write this one?

You will need s-off to revert but as of hboot 2.25 it doesnt accept flashboot commands. Kinda stuck til a patched hboot gets released if you took the 5/7 leak.

Thanks for looking into this - so my option is to wait for a patched hboot 2.25 or wait for another RUU with an Hboot higher than 2.25.
I was wondering if I could install CWM recovery - and just flash myself an GB ROM. My issues with this ROM are overheating and battery chomping. I wonder if that will be helped with a GB ROM - supposedly more mature and efficient. If this can be done can you point me to a thread?

I have been helping out quite a few people lately and thought I would offer my help and knowledge to anyone who needs it. Have a question? Need help finding a file? Hit me up on Gtalk @ [email protected]
I may not be able to answer right away but I will get to you. I did something similar when we got s-off and ended up walking around 30 people through the process. I may not have all the answers but I will do my best to help in any way I can. Apparently others are trying to "help" and if you choose to follow their advice if you brick your phone you are on your own.

Uh, I could use some help, but not sure if it's up your alley. However I'm not allowed to post in the proper forum because of my n00bness so yeah... Anyway I'm running the new ICS on my Rezound and using the MinimalText widgit. Basically, is there any way to make numbered notifications pop up on the widgets you create and place? An example would be, is I used MinimalText to create a simple "EMAIL" icon. However I want a little notification to be able to pop up on that icon telling me how many new emails I have. Same with SMS. Any help would be cool, and if not no worries. Thanks.

I know if you use nova laucher prime there is a secondary app called something like tesla unread. So if the theme works with tesla launcher it could be done. Tesla unread makes its so if i have a text it will have a 1 next to my message icon. here is a link,
you have to use nova launcher with this add-on, https://play.google.com/store/search?q=tesla+unread

I have a question. I want to upgrade to the new RUU. I have made a few changes and have no idea where I am with my firmware GB ICS? It works so I leave it alone.
I am S-Off, rooted and relocked but I cannot get the latest OTA update automatically. (Probably because of the custom recovery)
hboot - 2.11.000
radio - 0.95.00.1118r/0.95.00.1223r
Amon-RA recovery 3.13
Software
Android Version 4.0.3
Sense 3.6
Software Number 3.14.605.5 710RD
Where do I start? Removing the Amon-RA?

I think if you run the .12 RUU you should be back on track to receive OTA's again, if not mistaken.
Just download the new RUU name it PH98IMG and flash it in bootloader (hboot). Afterwards you will need to flash a recovery and youll be all set. Being locked, unlocked is irrelevant as long as your s-off. Meaning you never need to unlock as long as your s-off.

You are on the last gingerbread release. Run the new RUU as stated and if you decide on AmonRA for recovery make sure you use v3.15. 3.13 will not work on ICS firmware.

Freshly pulled from my OTA-updated device and built as-is from stock.
Only thing I did was add su binary to allow root access. Didn't even install SuperSU (you can do that from the Play Store).
DOWNLOAD
I'm deodexing currently and will upload that version shortly as well.
DOWNLOAD - Deodexed
I'll also upload my rooted version of the OTA file (with firmware removed) which will allow you to flash the OTA with TWRP (but ONLY if your device has zero modifications to /system). You'll have to flash the boot.img through fastboot, which I will attach to this post (this version is signed, straight from the firmware zip).
Rooted OTA only Download
Confused about what this is, or what to flash? See this post by barleysoda which explains it very well.
Link is live, folks. If someone would be kind enough to make sure it actually works, I'd appreciate it .
Thanks captain!!
Downloading now. Thanks Captain!
Works for me. Thank you!
Deodexed version, and Rooted OTA now up as well. Go to town, lol .
Not that there's any reason to update to this version. A few minor changes are doubtful to have much of an effect. The firmware *might* make a difference, but that's in a different thread .
Sorry for the n00b questions, but:
What is the difference between the first link and the third link?
Is the boot.img required for all?
Thanks!

1st and 2nd links are full stock rooted ROMs. 3rd link is the OTA only, which will require the boot image to be flashed additionally. You have to be on stock 3.16 software for that to work, as it says.

Sorry, I'm used to just flashing the new nightly builds straight on AOSP.
Right now, I'm stock rooted, so I'd go for the 3rd one, right?
You can try it, I guess. But you'll have to flash the boot.img too, as I said. If it doesn't work just flash one of the full ROMs.
Did the update come with a new radio? If so can I have a link to it? Thanks. I updated through the bootloader. It asked me if I wanted to update once I put out pin my external sd card and renamed it. It said successful. But my radio didn't change.

To update the phone. I'd like to update the radios, and do I NEED to be on a stock Rom, instead of Bareback or a modified stock rom like SuperJelly, to update?
There seem to be 3 things to download, the Rooted OTA, the boot.img, and the radios on your MikMik page.
God I hate these OTA updates. Such a hassle, every damn time, but I want to have the latest updates.
And to try to prevent any further drop down the rabbit hole, I am s-off.

If you want to update your radios, hit up Captain's firmware thread in development and follow the instructions for updating. If you want the stock rooted ROM, download one of the stock rooted ROM's from this thread (the first two links). The ROM zips don't contain the new firmware, which is why you'll have to update that separately.
