I managed to get s-off, but my phone would not boot. I was stuck on a screen that said "JuopunutBear" with an arrow. I did the internal storage fix, now the phone is really screwed. I'm stuck on a white screen with "HTC". I can't boot to recovery and the PC won't recognize phone so ADB commands don't work. Any help would be appreciated.

Get one of the old GB RUU's and run it on your phone. Start again. If your phone was truly bricked, it wouldn't power on and you wouldn't get an LED light when it was plugged in.

This is an easy one, or would have been when you were on the black screen. Well the internal storage fix scares me, but hopefully that wont matter. Typically all you need to do is get the PH file from your rom and place on sd card, boot into hboot, and run the update I believe, then reboot.
This title needs to be edited as it's misleading.

Relax. The S-off process blows out your recovery. You didn't brick your phone.
Put a recovery image on your SD card, go into hboot (from a powered down state, power button and volume down) and let 'er reload recovery. If you can't get the file on your SD card through your phone, pop the SD card into a card reader attached to your PC and stick it on there that way.
Once that's done, remove the image file from your SD card, put your fav ROM on it, and install it from recovery.
You may need to fix your SD card's mount points. Within the thread on S-off, there's a link to the process.
None of the commands work because the phone is not recognized. I cannot boot to hboot. Uh oh.
I had the same screen. Pull the battery and reboot into hboot, volume down+power and run the s-off program again. Something didn't finish and it will pick up where it left off in my experience.

What happens when you press power+volume down?
Edit: Also, if you're phone turns on, you're not bricked. It's pretty hard to brick this phone.

Yeap just pull the battery and power on with power and volume down.
This kinda stuff you'll be fine with. Just don't get too creative with "repairs" that aren't posted in here.

As I understand it, the only way to brick a phone is to bork a radio installation.
Dude...pull your battery, put it back in, then power and volume down at the same time. If you can get to hboot, life is good.
After about 30 battery pulls I was able to get to hboot. I have no idea what the issue was. Finally got the phone booting now. I appreciate the replies.

Sure did. Took me a little while to get the wire trick right. I just noticed the sd card is not recognized. I see the fix on the thread. That will be tomorrows project.
Constant reboots
I am able to install roms, but I get constant reboots, every few minutes at best. I tried a few different ICS ROMS. I am running the latest firmware. I BELIEVE with s-off I shouldn't have to flash PH98IMG.zip. I tried fixing permissions also but it has not helped.
How did you get the latest firmware and radios without running the PH98IMG.zip? The ics roms you are installing won't update your firmware.

Well the newest leak came out 5/7 and the one before that 5/2 so only a week ago. I would download the newest from Android Police and follow the instructions they give to install, then flash a recovery and install a rooted Rom for this firmware like Scott's.

I don't know why you relocked...I think there's a thread about not so good things happening to those who relock after S-off. I downloaded and installed the 5/5 leak as PH98IMG after I S-off'd and reflashed the recovery.
I'm pretty sure my hboot said "locked" straight out of the gate after I did the S-off deed.

Nothing bad happens, you just don't ever get back to "locked" without doing S-off again. You're just at "relocked" like the old days. S-on with an eng hboot on the other hand will brick your device.
That aside, there's no need to unlock if you're S-off. Either flash a patched hboot or just flash a PH98IMG.zip of AmonRa if you don't need fastboot commands (I did the latter).
I flashed the last firmware before S-off. I followed the instructions given. I flashed the latest firmware today and this damn thing still reboots constantly. I flashed the 5-7 firmware then the Venasaur Rom.

You need to try installing the radio firmware or just install the complete RUU again. And install a clean copy of the rom, not a nandroid backup. Wipe data, cache, dalvic cache, and system before flashing the rom.
Send me a private message if you would like and I'll help you get it figured out on gtalk.
I purchased a Rezound from eBay and it's locked with a gesture lock. The seller told me to do a factory reset, which I did a couple of times, and it doesn't reset the phone to the new activation screen. It looks like he rooted the phone at one point. The recovery screen says "Tampered," "Relocked," and "VIGOR PVT SHIP S-ON RL."
My question is, how do I get past the gesture lock? Will rooting and flashing a different rom do the trick? I am obviously a newbie, and likely wouldn't have rooted it and installed a custom rom if I didn't have to, but it seems like I may have to at this point. Thanks!

Flash a custom recovery and wipe if you want the stock Rom.rooted
Or you can just ruu to stock and it will wipe it

Obviously the first thing that comes to mind is if all it needed was to have a factory reset done why didn't the seller do just that and avoid the hassle? Kinda like when you look at a car and all it needs for the AC to work is a recharge..yeah I've been bit by that one before too.
Glad you got it working..youll enjoy being rooted
Looks like it isn't entirely right. I took it to Verizon to get it activated, and I have data connectivity but cannot call or text at all. The software version is 4.0.3 Android with 3.6 Sense. I am going to try to restore the factory version (from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1338916) and hope that does the trick. Otherwise, I guess there's something wrong and I have to return the phone to the seller.

Download that file, rename it PH98IMG.ZIP and make sure it isn't named PH98IMG.ZIP.ZIP and then put that on the root of the actual SD Card. Not the internal memory.
Reboot into hboot, and it will find that file and load it. You will have to chose volume + to accept. It will flash bootloader first, then the radios and rom and such. After this has flashed and booted, delete the PH98IMG.ZIP file from your sd card, and then reboot into hboot and chose factory reset. Let it do its thing, and try a phone call or text on reboot.
should be good to go after this.
I downloaded the file, put it in the root directory of the sd card, and booted into hboot. It says "Loading PH98IMG.zip" for a few minutes, then goes back to the hboot screen. I then powered down, removed SD card, and tried to factory reset. The phone entered the Android system recovery. I rebooted, and the phone seemed exactly the same. I'll retry, maybe I'm doing something wrong.
Update: I've retried a few times, and it just seems that hboot won't load PH98IMG.zip. Might it matter that I'm still at S-ON?

Try redownloading again might have been a bad download. Remember once the file starts to flash it might shut off and turn on and continue doing its thing just make sure when it's all done every item says "ok" next to it if it does your good to go next just make sure you go into bootloader do a factory reset.

Tampered is normal. Did you try flashing it with a ph98img, or as an .exe
It happens after you unlock and install a custom recovery I believe. Are you re-locked when you try to ruu?

just run the latest ruu in hboot if you are s-off it will make the phone like it was from factory.
if you are s-on but unlocked you will need to do the "fastboot oem lock" then runn the ruu.
in both cases the ruu will nuke the internal storage. first pass with install a new hboot and stock recovery along with 2 other items, then the phone will reboot into fastboot and install the rest. i recommend that you have a 60% or more battery life.

Yeah I already got it up n running...between being unlocked and having a slightly dead battery I wasn't even being given the option to run an ruu...its running now but I still need to do s-off again, and of course my sd card is corrupted so ill work on that tonight
The same thing happened to me, glad I found your thread! Were you trying to s-off on the official ICS? That's what I was trying. I ran the .12 RUU and had unlocked, rooted and was trying to get S-off. I did the wire trick I was getting an HTC logo instead of Jbear logo. Right now I just relocked and it's running the RUU so I hope I can get back up and running.
I guess I should have just S-offed before running the ICS RUU
Edit: I am back up and running!

Hey, I didn't have to do this, but if you noticed, controlbear makes backup copies of stuff like boot.img (forget what else) and puts them on your computer. If you crap out you ought to be able to fastboot flash boot [bootimgfilename.img] and be able to boot up your phone. I saw where one person did this to get going again after a failed soff.
Yeah well happened in my case is that I was already s-offed and then I flashed the ruu to go back to stock...then I relocked my phone cuz I'm having an issue with one of the pins on phone (the terminal that connects to battery).so I was gonna get it exchanged, I wanted it to look absolutely stock...so the "relocked" status wasn't good enough, so someone suggested doing s-off again so it will show locked in hboot...well that's where everything went wrong, the phone froze at the wire trick and then the entire memory card was corrupted which is normal...so when I went to redo the whole s-off procedure again I kept rebooting into the blank screen with the arrow...could not get past that, so I resorted to putting my real sd card in...I had no backups for that card cuz that one has my actual personal stuff so I figures it'd be ok since I used a spare to do s-off anyway...well upon powering on the phone it was also corrupted...so Ive actually given up on s-off and getting my phone restored and replaced for a while...I don't know why s-off has always given me problems I've watched and read every vid or post about s-off and am in no way tech illiterate but I've always had problems with s-off (i lost all my pics and documents the first time I did s-off even thought I backed everything up cuz the only way to get it right was to eliminate every file in the folder and rerun it again cuz it didn't back up my sd correctly If at all)...its beyond infuriating
well that didnt last long...i just unlocked and s-offed my phone again, only to be returned to s-on and fully locked (indistinguishable from brand new in box), as i originally intended...im gonna miss this particular phone but it has to be done
I have read most of the unrooting issues and am very confused. I am new to rooting and oh so very green.
I tried to root my phone and ran into a problem. I manged to unlock but did not get access to SU. That is not even the issue anymore. I want to return the phone to lock. I assume I did not root since I do not have SU and all the root app said I do not have root access. I was weary of doing it in the first place and not I just want to go back. Not worth it for me. So I guess I need to know..
1 - How to lock it back. It has the "Tampered" "Unlocked" message when I boot to hboot (hope I am using the right terms).
2- I dont think I need to "unroot" cause I was not rooted in the first place and I did not of course add any ROMS.
I have read a lot of info but am a little intimidated but I do have pc skills so I am not TOTALLY dumb. Just dumb to rooting.
I guess I am stuck in limbo with the rooting issues and just want my phone back to norm. It's because I have now seen little stupid things going on with it. Like my volume keeps resetting itself from vibrate. I put it on vibrate and it goes into low loud volume by itself. Something in the root I guess.
Please Help...
Thanks!
BTW I am on ICS.
The only way to remove the "Tampered" would be to flash an RUU. But you have to have your boot loader relocked.
So, relock your boot loader, and then run the latest RUU.

Ok Thanks Graywolf... but I have a couple of questions. From what I have been reading:
1- How do I "relock" the phone. Also I have heard relocking may cause it to brick? I am still "s-on".
2- Will flashing the RUU cause it to brick? I understand through various forums that if I flash the wrong ruu and go back to before my ICS update i cannot get the ics update. Is there a way to flash to the ICS update we received last summer?
3 - Will doing all of this fix the little problems I now have? Like I stated above.. my "vibrate setting do not stay on vibrate. I think if I let the phone screen time out itself (without pushing the power button) when I wake it back up it's on low volume instead of vibrate. If I push the power button to make it sleep, it tends to stay on vibrate. ALSO I now notice that if my wifi is on for instance at home and I leave the house it used to automatically go to 4g. now my radio stays off and i have to turn it on in the settings.
I guess in a nut shell.. if reverting it back will brick it, then I will have to put up with these bugs until I get another later on this year... probably in Oct.
Let me know and thanks alot for your help.:good:

First, BACKUP ANYTHING IMPORTANT!
1. To relock the bootloader just reboot to hboot, and select "fastboot". Plug it in to your computer and (I assume you know how you unlocked it with fastboot commands) type into command prompt "fastboot oem lock".
2. The RUU will not flash unless your bootloader is relocked. So do step 1 first and then flash the OTA from this website.
3. An RUU will return your phone to the factory state. This should fix many problems that you may have.
RUU should fix things, and if it doesn't, then you know it is a hardware issue.

Ok gotcha thanks. It just seemed I remember reading I had to download a file to that folder and then type the fast boot oem command. I will do it this weekend and report back how it went. Thanks!

Hey Gray... ok I was able to relock... however flashing to the RUU from the link you sent.. it didn't work. After I loaded the zip file onto the SD card.. it does nothing when I boot to bootloader... reads zip and comes back and says no image.
The question I have it since I never loaded a ROM or another RUU can I just wipe it from inside the menu and start from start?

Meant to quote, not thank.
Anyway, you could do a factory reset.

Well now that doesnt work. When I try to hard reset the message comes up that it is reseting.. then boots to hboot. It wont factory reset. I tried factory resetting from hboot and it does nothing.
The PH98IMG is not on my sd card... I actually took it out.
Can you reset from a command prompt? Hopefully that will work.

No.
Is your bootloader relocked?
Yes from hboot i have the "tampered relocked" message but it does say relocked. What command do you use to reset?

You either have to flash an RUU or factory reset.
Try this RUU:

Ok and since this is an .exe file...do I do it the same way? Drop it on to the SD card? Do
i have to rename it? Actually I found that I just download it to computer and run it.. does it matter the location of the file?
I relocked my phone, did the stock RUU.exe, went back to a stock Rom, got the update and no matter what I try I can't get unlocked again. Is there a way to uninstall the Update
You can try rerunning the RUU with admin privileges see if that works. Also you can try unlocking bootloader before the update then OTA updating see if that works

Did you not read the guide I posted here?
Also try flashing your unlock token a few times some people it works the first time others 10 times later

turn phone completely off, then boot straight in to bootloader by holding power and vol down. then run unlock.bin. works every time.

It took 5 attempts for me to unlock. Pain in the rear, I know, but it'll eventually work. Good luck to you. BTW, update DEF improves bluetooth & beats. Major difference, at least, for me there is.:victory:
Forgot to Flash the Kernel Modules, so now I'm having Boot Loops, and am unable to do the Stock.RUU exe because I took the update. I am 90% I'm screwed. Command prompt is also giving me the device not found error. Backups aren't working either, get the same boot loop
