Help with rebooting Rezound - HTC Rezound

Ok so I'm running the late july/early august update of newts one xxx RLS rom my Phone is currently S-off and I s-Offed with the 2nd leak of ICS as of late I've been having this problem with my rezound that whenever I shut it off the phoner won't turn back on UNLESS I plug it in into my car charger this is what happens when I try to turn it one
White HTC screen the screen will flash black once and then back to white htc screen, followed by a blank screen then comes in the mikroms with the roadrunner on top and it freezes there then black screen again and phone repeats the whole process again but if I connect the phone to the car charger process is kind of the same except the phone turns on is this problem fixable?
any help will be appreciated

Sounds like your having boot problems. Can you boot into bootloader just fine without being connected to a charger? If so try flashing the proper boot image for the Rom your on, using fastboot commands.

The initial boot.IMG flash may have not been a complete success. Check the md5sum of your Rom.

It shouldn't matter but I've heard reports of some people not being able to use fastboot commands and had to unlock. But that individual was using stock hboot aposed to joupunut hboot.. if you do have problems I guess you could just unlock..

yeah stock locked/relocked hboots even if s-off won't let you fastboot things...
here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1853871
put one of those on you're sd card after you do the latest RUU so you can have fastboot capabilities.
CHECK MD5 very important when doing hboot or radio things

Nope doesn't matter that's what the moddified hboots are for. the link is in my above post

Ok so I just updated to the latest ruu today i didn't have time until today but things got worse now I updated first before checking md5, could that have been the error? and now it just keeps rebooting on the HTC screen and it won't go to the mikroms screen
I went to my roms page and I can't seem to find the md5 http://themikmik.com/showthread.php...ense-4-GB-4-0-3)-4-2-2012&p=197893#post197893 help??? (I'm extremely tired so my finding/logical sense are not working properly right now)

and now it seems as if my recovery has been deleted as I get a Phone screen facing up as if it was laying down on a table with a green refreshing sign/reloading sign fllowed by a phone screen facing me with a red triangle like the one where you turn on the hazard lights on your car

You could find Amon Ra 3.15 recovery in a zip that can be renamed PH98IMG.zip
and reinstall recovery. Your immediate problem may be solved, but if you have time, you can do more.
Amon Ra lets you look at either internal drive: your sdcard or the phone's storage:
toggle the sdcard, attach to computer, and remove the PH98IMG of just-installed Amon Ra recovery.
Now find the Android Police 4.03 version (large download if correct) , make sure the md5's match for it, and
copy it to extrenal sdcard renamed as PH98IMG.zip. It will run 1 1/2 times then boot
up to operating system. Many people say to do another reinstall and/or one or more Factory Resets at this point:
one from Seup- Storage - Factory reset with phone "on". Another factory resey is availble
by booting to recovery and choosing Reset. It's a good idea to do one or both style resets before
you reinstall a recovery. Every time you run an RUU or a zip that replaces the ROM, you have
to reinstall that Recovery. To avoid no-charging situations, I'd advise keeping Amon Ra 3.15.
Now you're at the point you can root and play with this powerful handset.

Download MD5 checker from the play store. Load the PH98IMG as file 1, then paste the md5 from the amon ra thread into the second text area. Then press the button.

2.27 is the newst Global firmware.
When you boot, are you still seeing something from MikRoms?
If yes, your RUU installation didn't work.
I'd use Amon Ra to wipe:
every choice several times and reinstall the whole Android Police 4.03 PH98IMG.zip.
If you don't get a nice clean oem-style stock bootup after that, then the RUU is suspect, may need
to get from another source.

yup I get the mikroms thing again guess it didn't work when I wipe my data do I wipe ALL data/factory reset and does this include my SD card when it gets wiped or no?

.
yeppers:
in AmonRa, take Wipe, then do each one including the internal and external Sdcards
and dalvik cache and everything else a coupla times..
The RUU ought to have undone everything else in your phone incl MikMik, so it may
not be a good one.
After all wipes, put it back onto your external card as PH98IMG and flash twice.
If all is well, you'll have a fine virgin install ready to be rooted and messed with.

[Q] Can't flash with Clockwork Recovery

Background
I had already unlocked my phone using the HTCdev site.
I downloaded and installed clockwork recovery v5.8.1.4 using rom manager.
Issue
I can get to recovery but once there anything that I select gives me a black screen with the clockwork recovery icon in the middle. even if I have a zip file in my sdcard it won't read it.
I can't access my backups, I can't flash any image. everything was wiped. if I try to boot, I get the white screen that says HTC, and then a black screen.
If anyone could help me with this I would be very appreciative
Attempts at solving the problem
I read that there was an issue with clockwork before posting here and I tried to install Amon Ra's recovery. I tried the latest version 3.14 but when I try to fast boot it, I get the message "main version is older! Update Fail!"
Does your phone have the OTA? I'm on mainver 2.x and just flashed Amon Ra v3.14 with no problem. Fastboot doesn't usually care about mainver anyway.
You can try using the new Awesome Recovery Tool that con247n made but I think you have to flash Amon Ra in fastboot:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497984
What mainver are you on? Find out with this command:
fastboot getvar all
If you are coming from ICS to GB then you need to flash a GB kernel.
I just reread your post and you said everything was wiped. You can try using testdisk to get that stuff back so you can use one of your nands. Here's a post I just made about that:
feralicious said:
I made a post upthread about testdisk. It's free and should get your files back. I pm'd info to the person who posted their external was wiped and they thanked me then thanked me agian a couple days later so I assume it worked for them, which means the wipe must just delete and not reformat.
http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
I got all my nands and TiBUs off my external that stopped being read by phone or computer. I have gotten all my data, even that which had been deleted, off drives that every computer said needed to be initialized. Does what people charge thousands of dollars for.
You may have to pull the cards out and mount them on the pc, I can't remember if I tried to use testdisk while they were in the phone but I think I did and it didn't find them.
It will look like it's not going to work on the card but it does. After you select the drive and it comes up with the partition table list, select [None].
Then select [Analyse]
Can't recall exactly what happened next, I think it mentioned errors with the partition etc... but it listed the correct size of the card as if it were empty so I proceeded and then bam, it listed all my files. Copied them all off no problem.

When I was in clockwork I hit the power button to get to the menu items, I would press the volume up and down to navigate. when I select the update from zip, i get the icon, and nothing else. If i press the power button it brings me back to the menu i was at prior but no option takes me further than a black screen with the icon.

I edited my post above since I didn't see the responses, there's info there about getting your nands off your external card.
So you must be on 1.x then. You can download and run the RUU for mainver 1.x, then accept the OTA and you'll be stock and updated. Then you can retry flashing Amon Ra and reroot.
You have to relock first:
fastboot oem lock
I am going to do that right now.
I tried downloading "The Root Thread: Currently Unlocked Bootloader, S-ON and Perm Root" but the links are dead.
I've been trying to download the one for my version and filefactory is too busy. I was just looking for an alternate download location and saw this one for v1.x:

They also made it as a zip you can flash in hboot if you prefer. Pretty sure the one you need is 1.02.605.6
Here's the filefactory link just in case:

Also... I know you can't use an RUU that has an older mainver than the one you have but I'm not sure about going to a newer mainver RUU. It seems that the link I just posted is working so that's the safest route, but if you can use the newer RUU then here is a working link for that, I just downloaded it myself:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22045045&postcount=58
Maybe if someone else reads this and knows if it's okay to use the 2.x version on your 1.x phone they can chime in. But you might want to grab it while you can in any case for future use.

That looks like it's what you need. You'd just need to rename the file before you flash it.
The ones that are not PHzips but are .exe files you just run on your computer by double clicking on them.
Cwm uses the home button to select, not power
Okay, I got an answer in the RUU thread that you can use the 2.x RUU and that will bring you up to date. So if you haven't already run the 1.x version and gotten the OTA you can just run the one from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22045045&postcount=58
You just need to relock the phone, have the phone in hboot and double click the file you download on your computer. Then you should be on hboot 2.11 I think it is and have new radios and a few other goodies.
Then you can move on to flashing Amon Ra, installing su in the developer menu of that and you'll be stock rooted with the update.
I hope that the PH98img works. I've been fighting the exact same issue all day. RUU would let me get close to then end, but then I would get a security error 155 before it flopped.
Does anyone know if the battery will still be able to charge when the phone is in this state? If not, I may not have enough battery to install the PH98IMG.

Any suggestions for "fastboot oem lock" not working? Mine just goes to "waiting for device".
Without the lock, the RUU still gives the 155 security error before failing.

Ding! Ding! You got it! Thanks!
After relocking the Rezound, the RUU still would not load.
I was able to amonra recovery.img and finally get into clockwork recovery. Since my mainver was newer than the RUU, I had to move ahead to ICS...which is looking pretty good so far.

Fyi... there are work arounds to the mainver issue in case you want to go back to a GB ROM. There's a new tool by con247 called Awesome Recovery Tool that will help with that. You can find it in the dev section.

[Q] Stuck on HTC Screen after GB Recovery

I have the following:
*****unlocked*****
RUBY PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.90.0008
eMMC-boot
Nov 1 2011, 16:50:47
Since I was unlocked and rooted (S-ON), I have a basic TMO ROM and it was 2.3.4 and the ICS would not update. After reading the "Bible", i tried to restore GB to factory and now I have a problem. I cannot get it to pass the first HTC splash screen. Also, with the Stock Odexed.zip, I get an MD5 error when I try to unzip to sdcard and load with CM.
Ultimately, I would like to get to stock ICS rooted.
Thoughts?
Try ext4 recovery its the most stable one out for the amaze. Did u try to s-off if not ur better off
1. Never unzip a flashable zip. it's supposed to be zipped.
2. Download the latest ICS ruu from the stock RUU/OTA thread, rename it PH85IMG, place it on your sd card, relock your bootload via hasoons tool, then boot into hboot and update your phone via that ruu image, bootloader should auto detect it once it's on your sdcard and you boot into hboot.

finishes the first screen with the blue progress bar on the right
finishes the second screen with the gold progress bar on the right
goes back to HBOOT
then nothing... back to the opening screen and it is does not boot

Kindly go to the stock ruu/ota thread in the development sub forum of the amaze forum, look for the most recent ics for tmo us, should be the very first on the list and download it, once downloaded, rename that file PH85IMG and place it on your sd card, reboot your phone into hboot AGAIN, then wait for it to load the file, once it does, it will give you an option to update via volume up or not update via volume down, okay?

Flashing RUU returns to out-of-the-box stock?

Basically I just wanted root, so I read several different guides and got a rooted status and managed to install the Amon Ra recovery. However my bootloader (also called HBOOT - is that correct?) shows tampered / unlocked now. Basically, I want to flash back to the most current build and try again.
Would the link on the Android Police forums to download RUU 4.03.605.2 be latest Verizon build as if it were fresh out of the box?
I checked on the wiki, but didn't see anything for the Rezound there.
Also, to use this utility, I relock my bootloader using HTCDev and then move this zipped file to my sd card and reboot to the bootloader either using adb or the power + volume down, correct? It will see the zip file and begin flashing or do I run an executable from my PC with the phone connected? I'm not S-Off because I figured that is way above my head at this point.
I appreciate any help anyone can offer.
The tampered just means you have a custom recovery like Amon Ra installed.

If I want to load that RUU, do I have to relock my bootloader? Will I be able to load the file from the Android Police forum without being S-OFF since I've rooted and loaded a recovery?

Having S-OFF negates the need to relock your bootloader.
You should be able to flash the "RUU" zip file with your phone in its current condition.
If you do some research in this section in the S-OFF threads, you'll get some good info about not re locking after s-off.
Re-locking is only necessary if you don't have s-off.

to reinstall the RUU, first make sure you have fastboot on your PC and your phone is in the fastboot menu of the bootloader and connected to your PC. It should say "fastboot USB". (If you don't have the HTC drivers installed, download HTC Sync 3.0 and that should install it. I haven't gotten it to work on Windows 8 so if you use Windows 8 use these drivers)
Open a command prompt, change the directory to where your fastboot.exe is (example: cd c:\fastboot_directory). Type in 'fastboot oem lock'. Your phone will restart, then boot up. Turn it off, reboot to the bootloader and make sure it says *RELOCKED* on the top. Then, go back to fastboot and in your cmd window, type in 'fastboot oem rebootRUU'. Your phone will reboot and show a black screen with a grey HTC logo. Copy the RUU (doesn't matter if it's named PH98IMG.zip or something else) into the same folder as fastboot.exe and type in 'fastboot flash zip ruu_zip_name.zip' (obviously replacing ruu_zip_name.zip with the zip's actual name). The terminal will start sending the zip and details will be displayed on your computer screen. Your phone will also have a progress bar. Once the terminal on your computer says it's finished, you can reboot your phone.
I am currently S-On, unlocked, running Newts One XXX with the Global OTA (4.03.605) Sense 4 Kernel. I would now like to get the 4.03.605.2 firmware installed. Would the procedure described above work for my situation or is there another method I can use.
My next leap is to go S-off but for now I would just like to get the firmware updated before reflashing Newts.
Thanks in advance.
Yes, you can use the above method fine. However, going S-Off is very easy. It seems like a daunting task, but if you read the directions thoroughly it is very easy. I used the .5 version of Juopunutbear and it worked without a hitch. You are already unlocked and rooted, so if you S-Off, you won't have to do it all over again. From there you can flash the RUU, flash a FLASHABLE version of AR 3.15, then reflash any rom that you want. You will only get the benefit from global with roms that are built aroung the .2 base, but you will get updated radios. I haven't honestly noticed much of a difference with the new radios though.

Flash stock recovery here's a link http://www.mediafire.com/?wb21d2gdurui2c6 then lock bootloader. (Fastboot OEM lock)
After locking bootloader(cuz your s-on) rename the ruu you downloaded from android police To PH98IMG put on your sd return sd phone boot into bootloader run update, if it stops and powers off mid update remove battery and start it again, It flashed the hboot first then you gotta go back In And finish the update.

Also to avoid any problems do a factory reset in hboot after update is installed. Being that we're s-on when we re-unlock it does it for us but I've heard some people are having problems after the ruu if they didn't FDR while on stock recovery.. just a heads up

Just to clarify: when you reboot using "adb reboot" or power + volume down, are you booting into the bootloader or hboot? I've read the guides but still a little confused there.
Also, what does the stock recovery do versus something like Amon Ra? Does the stock recovery allow for creating backups and what-not? Sorry to be a total noob here. I can bake cookies or something for you all for your help, hehe.

The bootloader is the hboot. You power on holding vol down to get there.
The stock recovery does not allow you to create backups, or do much at all I'm pretty sure. That is why we have custom ones.

Do you mean flash the RUU in the bootloader and then the recovery also in bootloader? i only ask cause im at school and i forgot my microsd adapter so i cant rename the zips so that I can flash both of them from there, but if i can do it from recovery then im set

Sorry that you never got an answer to this. Yes, you should flash both recovery (stock) and the RUU as PH98IMG zip files. Wait to start this process until you have a pc/sd card reader available. Trying this without those basic tools is going to make this a frustrating process for you.

S-Off after RUU 4.03.605.2

Hey folks..so I want to start flashing kernels and yes I know I probably should have gone s-off way sooner but I want to do it now. I've been rooting and romming my phones for a while but this whole s-off procedure continued to scare the crap out of me. But..I don't want to limit my choices when it comes to roms and kernels so I guess I'll do it anyway.
However, I am currently running RUU 4.03.605.2 with Vigor360 1.1 s modified kernel.
Can I still go s-off even though I am now running the global leak (or is it now impossible) and if so, can someone point me in the right direction?
Thank you kind gents n ladies!
I've heard of several people being successful on 4.03.605.2 with the 3.14.605.5 ControlBear version.
Only other advice I can offer is don't give up, try different wires if you're having trouble, and pay attention to the troubleshooting page if you decide you want back out and try again later. I've S-OFF'ed three Rezounds. The first took 3 days, the second 2 minutes, and the third 30 minutes.

i did s-off with viper's rom and the .5. i was on global too, don't let it scare you or you will not get it. i couldn't get the timing for the life of me. first two hours was a hassle, then i had to get my other battery(thought i bricked my phone) then i relized that they had a metrnome with the correct timing and it worked the first time. but use a different memory card. all of these things can be found under the s-off instructions.:good:
its really easy man you can do it. i reccemend using speaker wire as its more pliable than a paperclip.. if you need help i can walk you thru it on gtalk. just pm me for me gtalk. otherwise. goodluck and yes the 3.14.605.5 ControlBear version is the correct one just lock your bootloader, run the full ruu agan( 4.03.605.2), flash amonRA, then flash this in recovery (https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0ZJtM40GdJ0MEpGeG1ZWi0yNDA/edit) to gain root on stock global, download root checker from the app store to be sure you got root before you begin. then boot phone and check usb debugging, connect your phone to the comp(within the stock rom), start control bear.. make sure to back up EVERYTHING as it could all get wiped. (internal sd, external sd, and your nandroid if you so choose) i reccemend using a spare sd card if you have one.. ive only done my phone but it took me all of 2 trys.. i got weird errors a couple times (other than "error: still sober" got that once) if you do just run control bear again
Thanks for the responses and moral support folks!
Collin, I may have to hit you up for that assistance soon, I'd rather be safe then sorry so I might feel better if I have someone to "hold my hand"
May not get around to it til Sat afternoon or Sunday though.

I'm working with the same situation as the OP. You posted a link to a second recovery to flash after Amon Ra, I've tried that link and it forces me to request access. Which recovery is it and is there another link or are you able to give me access to that one?
Hey guys.
I am a complete newb with most this stuff.
I am not sure how I look at RUU I have. I will say that my phone was pretty much stock through the official ICS release.
Currently I have CM9 flashed as my rom.
Is there anyway I can S-OFF my phone?

If you haven't already, I would say start by checking out unlimited.io They have all the basic details about how to achieve S-OFF. Without knowing more specifics about your setup it would be hard someone to give a more specific answer.

Yea I have went there.
I have the program downloaded. I am on Gray's CM9 rom.
Followed all the instructions. When the program runs it goes like this:
Starting up....
Connecting to device....
Searching device.....
Found device......
Backing up.....
Permission denied.....
Transferring backups....
Secondary backup FAILED!!
Press ENTER to exit.
like I said my phone was stock till the official ICS update released. After that I unlocked the boot loader and just recently flashed my first rom, through Amon Ra.
If I could kindly ask you what info you need, and possibly how to access the info, to help me out. Do I need to flash a stock rom back?

I hope to god my hboot was stock. As I am running a previous RUU.
Hopefully once I do this, I will be able to S-OFF.

I flashed back to the first ICS RUU.
I think I know why it said permission denied. Because I didn't have actual root access.
At the point of trying the wire trick.
Edit: Achieved S-OFF. Thanks so much guys. Going from 3 days ago of flashing my first rom. To having to relock the device, run the first ICS Ruu, then doing the wire trick. Hell of a learning curve on these things. Thanks everyone for all the help.
Just a quick update. I was able to achieve S-Off while using this specific RUU. It took a few time flashing the RUU and a rooted rom to finally get it but it is possible with this RUU.

-Put AmonRa3.15 as my recovery

you can try backing up your sd cards and partition them before you start the control bear process, and your sure you have root access correct? via rootchecker, tatanium backup or somethin gand usb degugging checked? if your still having issues look for apophis' thread named "so you need assistance, WE ARE HERE TO HELP" post in that thread im sure he can help you walk thru it..
When I bought my rezound used it had a constant boot loop issue. That's why I got it fairly cheap. I immediayly ran the global ruu hoping it would boot. It still boot looped. I was able to unlock, flash recovery and install newts xxx. I have tried to boot other romsand they give me issues too. Is there any way I can s off in my current configuration because I am pretty confident another ruu from my sd card just won't boot. Has anyone had success being on a custom Rom w global firmware hboot 2.27?

Help! i tried flashing a rom,it didnt work.Now i cant flash any rom or use a nandroid

Hi, I have a HTC amaze 4g. My phone was already rooted and had a custom recovery. I was running a stock ROM with s-on. I decided to flash PAcman ROM 4.4.4 on my HTC amaze.i made a nandroid backup and had a copy of it on my phonr.then I followed all the steps for flashing the pacman rom and it gave me an error while flashing the gapps. So i freaked out since there was no ROM on my phone. I tried flashing the viper ROM for my phone and it just showed the HTC logo and nothing happened. I got the same result for every other ROM I tried flashing. So then I decided to backup my phone since the Roms weren't working. When I tried using my nandroid I got a md5 checksum error. To bypass the error I made a new md5 file,it was blank with nothing on it. Then it skipped checking the md5 and started to back it up. It got an error when it was flashing 'data.zip'. And now the charging light isn't coming on. How do I get my phones ROM back to normal? Is my phone permanantly bircked? Please help asap.
Regards,
cyberusman
Too late for backup.

Revert to RUU, then read more before trying anything again. For example, you can't move from GB to ICS rom's without first ensuring that the phone has been upgraded first, using the official T-Mo ICS update and Radio update.
Being S-ON, you must use 4EXT recovery, with "Enable Smart Flash" to flash rom's successfully, except for the RUU, which has a different flash process.
To flash an RUU:
1. Download the RUU.
2. Rename it PH85IMG.ZIP
3. Put it on your ext-sdcard
4. Reboot to your bootloader
5. Your phone will apply the RUU.

So is a ruu a flashable zip file? When i put the ruu on my external sd card and go to my bootloader, will it automatically update it for me? or do i have to do something else?

I apologize-rename it PH85IMG.ZIP.
Yes, when you go to bootloader it searches the external sdcard for ph85img.zip and once found, applies it automatically, flashing your phone back to its factory state.
Give it at least 10 minutes to flash and at least 10 minutes to boot after flashing.
I tried it, I put the ruu on my phones sd card, then i went to the bootloader a progress bar came up and finished that took around 5min. After that since i was on my boot loader I navigated To the reboot option and I rebooted my phone. my HTC amaze was stuck at the HTC logo for 40 minutes... Since it wasn't working I took out the battery. Did I do something wrong ?

No, Prolly not--you did great.I didn't tell you be sure use correct one for your country, and I think you gotversion android you had before..if it was gb use gb, if it was ics use ics. Check those instructions in the link..and for sure when it works it won't take more than 10 minutes to boot.

Thinking that flashing the RUU automatically re-locked your bootloader, I neglected to tell you to re-lock your bootloader first.
