Hi guys I'm fairly new here and was hoping you guys could help me out.
so i got my amaze a couple months ago from this guy and he told me had rooted the phone but then he unrooted it.
So fastforward to today and i'm trying to update my phone to the new android 4.0 . it downloads the update but then when it shuts off to start installing the update a triangle pops up with an exclamation mark.
it wouldn't go away so i took the battery out to restart it, which it did.
How do i go about fixing this . Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
and this was on my bootloader screen if it helps any

To receive ota's you must have a locked bootloader. Yours is unlocked.
Download hasoon all in one tool. Install the HTC drivers and then relock the bootloader.. Then you'll be all set to install them update

I think you need to restore stock recovery, etc before yo relock the bootloader and be on stock rom.

I'm back to being unlocked. How do i go about restoring to stock recovery??
Just download one of the stock ruu files, place it on your sd card rename it PH85IMG.zip and reboot into HBoot mode, it should restore your phone to complete stock.
What radio is on the new OTA update? Can someone who has done the update, post?

I have the same problem. I get a Main ver is old error when attempting to load the stock ruu, PH85IMG_Ruby_TMOUS_1.36.531.6_Radio_1.07.550L.04DC_30.64.550L.07_release_219373_signed.zip .
There is no way to get it back to stock with HBOOT on the ICS RUU you cannot go back, I got screwed over too. Unless you got S-Off before you went to ICS, that's the only way you can go back to stock. I think, that's what someone else told me, so give it a try but otherwise I think you are screwed, but I don't really know what I'm talking about. Can anyone confirm this?

Ok, I flashed via HBOOT the same version that was on the phone, PH85IMG_Ruby_TMOUS_1.43.531.3_Radio_1.08.550L.19DC_30.66.550L.08D_release_228638_signed.zip , and it seems to have accepted it, and going through the updates now.
Now, I will boot into stock, and attempt the new OTA ICS upgrade.
Will a restore work via CWM, that I took from the stock GB ROM above?
OTA ICS Upgrade = Success
I was going to pull the file off of the phone, but I started the upgrade and forgot. I could not locate it afterwards.
How did you flash via Hboot? Did you rename the file before you put it on your SD Card? Also do you have stock recovery?
finally got it
1. Make sure USB Debugging is enabled. Go to Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging.
2. Download my tool and run it. If your bootloader is unlocked (most likely it is), on my tool, press "Boot into Bootloader". After you are in bootloader, run the "Relock Bootloader" command
3. Put the Stock T-Mobile 1.43 ROM on to your SD Card. Make sure it in the root folder. Rename the file to PH85IMG. Run the command on my tool to "Boot into Bootloader" It should scan for the ROM. If it doesn't (It may be in Fastboot mode, that's why) press the power button so it switches from Fastboot into HBOOT mode.
4. It will detect it and press the Volume Up button. It will flash the Stock ROM.

Unlock your amaze again. Follow the hasoon steps and you'll be able to unlock it.
once you unlock it download this file
http://d-h.st/OIC
once that is done rename it to "PH85IMG" and then put it into your sdcard
then follow these steps
"Run the command on the hasoon tool to "Boot into Bootloader" It should scan for the ROM. If it doesn't (It may be in Fastboot mode, that's why) press the power button so it switches from Fastboot into HBOOT mode.
4. It will detect it and press the Volume Up button. It will flash the Stock ROM."
once it's done flashing you'll be on stock and then you can update the phone to ICS.
TOOK ME ALL DAY! dont worry you'll figure it out.
I have one question, how do I do it if I don't have an SD card? I rooted without one...

Okay, so I'm in a bit of a bind. I'm S-OFF, and I tried updating to the global leak and it seems I've lost boot and recovery. Everytime I boot it goes through the splash screen and then a black screen with the phone and green update symbol, then it turns to a red triangle and exclamation mark. any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm fairly experienced and everything i've tried has failed. I tried going into hboot and flashing the PH98IMG again. It took, but still the same result. I tried flashing the recovery in fastboot but it continues to fail, and I also tried flashing my boot.img but it also failed. Any ideas?

Its OK. And once you unlock, it'll reboot. Then you just go back into the boot loader and flash a recovery with fast boot.

You need to use interface to fastboot boot.img then run firmware update for old firmware n old CWR. BASICALLY GO BACK TO STOCK REZOUND N START THE WHOLE PROCESS OVER LIKE DAY 1!
Good news is you don't need to do the wire trick again. Your phone crashed during the firmware upgrade now its stuck in limbo n doesn't know how to handle the 2 sets of hardware commands its receiving from the CMOS.
[Q] Can only get into recovery after attempting Juopunutbear S-OFF
I wanted to S-OFF after being stock locked, with the OTA ICS update. I performed HTC dev unlock successfully. After that, I may have gone wrong during one of several steps.
-Pushed AmonRa recovery 3.15 to my phone (seemed to be successful)
-Flashed ICE-EnableRoot.img (got an error message saying it was unsuccessful, but when I rebooted my phone, SuperUser was installed).
-Flashed vigorOTAStockRooted.zip (because I wanted to try the S-OFF method from stock GB rom)
-Ran HTC Rezound S-OFF Kit By Hasoon2000
-Made sure HTC Drivers were installed
-Enabled USB Debugging
-Put in blank SD Card
-Run Juopunutbear v.6 If You Are On Gingerbread
After running Juopunutbear v.6 for Gingerbread, my phone screen went blank and HTC's splash screen came up momentarily, and then my phone screen went dark. The cmd box that popped up then gave me an error message saying I had to install the HTC Drivers. I went to HTC's website to download the drivers. When I tried to install them, I was told they were already installed.
I can reboot my phone into Hboot and AmonRa recovery and I can do anything from there. But when I try to start my phone, I get the HTC splash screen and then black screen. The orange LED lights up when my phone is powered off and plugged in via USB. When I try to boot from Hboot, I either get a static HTC splash screen or splash screen going to a black screen.
This is what my Hboot screen reads:

For starters, you are on ics firmware so you should run the ics version of juopunutbear. I suggest flashing a rooted Rom based on the ota and then try again.

I successfully flashed one of the stock ICS ROMs! What got me all confused to begin with was the prerequisite that I had to be on a stock Gingerbread ROM or the 3.14.605.5 ICS leak. That's why I tried flashing the original Vigor GB ROM on my phone. I still want to get S-OFF, but I need to read the instructions more carefully. Thanks for your help!

pretty much. From looking at everything looks like you are on ICS, but its not letting you reprogram. usually happens when an update fails. When you run Juonobear and run the ics upgrade over again, it should reboot like 3 or 4 times. Sounds like you never let the process finish. Final note, i'm not sure where you got your firmware from, but your radios do not look familiar. Not saying they are wrong, just not radio's i've ever seen flashed. BUT, I don't usually change radio's unless there is a huge need for it. you should be on radio's 10r/08r that come with the original ICS firmware update. I'll watch the thread throughout the day to lend support where I can. Hope this helps.

Now I'm a little confused, sorry. I need to run the juopunutbear program again? My radios are 2.22.10.0801r/2.22.10.0803r, Hboot 2.27. I'm downloading the .12 RUU from Android Police. I've tried re-flashing the boot.img from my nand backup, but it keeps saying:
C:\mini-adb_vigor>fastboot flash boot.img
unknown partition 'boot.img'
error: cannot determine image filename for 'boot.img'
edit: I fixed the flash, I forgot to add the partition in the command, duh... So I flashed my backed up boot.img, now I just need to flash the .12 RUU?
I have the backup img in the file where I have fastboot, adb, etc.. What am I doing wrong?

I have now tried to flash the .12 RUU in Hboot but it will not flash it, probably because my firmware is newer right? Back to the drawing board....
Still to no avail I am getting nowhere. I flashed the stock recovery and did a factory reset from Hboot. Nothing, I have tried flashing the newest RUU, nothing, I'm flashed back to ra-recovery. Can anybody give me a solution step by step to get a ROM loaded and booting?
Well I finally got it up and working. I loaded the old firmware and was able to restore by backup. Thanks to all who chimed in with helpful advice. I'm hesitant to retry the Global update, but I might go ahead and give it another shot.
Glad you figured to restore the firmware. It's not hard to flash the global. Run the firmware, then run the recovery then flash Rom. Do it right in that order n you don't have any issues. Use 2 sdcards if you need to because the firmware upgrade won't delete the ph98 off your card. You will need to do it manually.

so i went to switch out my battery and when i turned the phone back on it vibrated and displayed the white htc screen, then went black for a second and then stays on the white htc screen forever! Im a total noob when it comes to all the technical stuff about RUU's Kernels Roms and whatnot. I can get to bootloader, but i tried to do factory reset and it showed a green circle with a loading bar but then it changed into a red triangle with an exclamation. I tried flashing amon ra recovery but it doesnt work, although TWRP works. While in TWRP though, whenever i try to flash a zip file, it fails and says something like E:failed to mount /cache E:failed to mount /system E:failed to mount /data. Please help me i need this phone working to help me at my job. If someone can walk me through what i need to do i would REALLLYYYY appreciate it. Like i said though, i am a noob so i need realy stupified instructions lol. Thanks

First you should go to shipped-roms.com and download the vigor ics ruu.exe, the rezound downloads there are under vigor . Plug your phone into your computer and from hboot highlight fastboot press power and run the .exe file from your computer and follow the on screen instructions, this will return your phone to full stock ics. Make sure you download the vigor ics ruu.exe as the GB ruu will not work with s-on.
You can also download this: http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ull-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/ it's the latest ruu it'll update your hboot, stock recovery, rom, and radios, to latest stock. Just download, rename the zip file to PH98IMG (don't include .zip it is a zip file it'll add it on its own in hboot) put it on your sd card, not in a folder just on. Put it back in your phone and boot to bootloader and runn the update, when it powers off. Run it again. (As it has to update the hboot to 2.27 first)Then you'll be on the stock latest. Then root and Rom from there. Of you need help pm me for my gtalk and I could walk you thru it..

When i put it on the sd card as PH98IMG it looks like it loads it in the upper right then thats it. regular bootload screen after that nothing happens. try to load it by opening the application after im plugged in as fasboot usb and the program says Install script setup launcher has stopped working. I have been able to flash liquids rom and looks as if it is booting but waited 24 min and nothing happpend just stayed on boot screen. So im just trying to get back to RUU then work from there.

Yes i did reinstall my HTC Sync drivers, I have been wipining factory reset, cache, system, dalvick cache before i flash a new rom. I am S-On. Havent really determined a reason to go s-off yet, i am messing up my phone good enough with this let alone a paperclip. no problem with random reboots. I finally decided to go to a custom rom bc i was sick of my phone rebooting for OTA updates then being late for work. So the 3 roms i have now tried are Liquid smooth which i liked but i couldnt get mms messages to show up on phone. Also it wouldnt change from silent to a beep for text message notifications. i could select it but it would stay as silent. So.... I flashed ViperRezROm which i just didnt like the look and theme. So i finally flashed Cyanogen ROM and come to find out its the same kernal as Liquid smooth so it looks the same and I like that but I still cant change the notification from silent to a beep for text messages. So i never know when i get a text.
Still working on trying to flash a newer version of TWRP.
Then this time flashing I tried to titanium backup and went to load my backup and it cant find it.... WTF
UGH... Learning so much with this stuff. just taking alot of patience.
Thanks again for yalls support, I love this forum.
Mike
BTW just to note...if your bootloader is locked fastboot flash methods will not work 90 percent of the time...if you flashed liquid 3.0 that's more than likely your problem with mms as that is a beta...but on more recent 4.3 builds mms is fixed...and no its not the same kernel...just similar source code...liquid 2.9 does not have this mms issue...any random reboots on 4.2 are caused by min frequency not set right at 384 mhz and using amon ra to flash or not doing a proper clean flash....I do recommend s-off as it will make life much easier for you for modding things or flashing custom zips and for future flashing back to full stock if needed as its not possible while s-on...you can always pm me for help as I've yet to run into an error I can't fix unless posted in op caused by source

There is a few good reasons to S-Off.
1.No need to fastboot flash kernels
2.can RUU if needed
3.can flash recovery updates (cwm, twrp) as ph98img zips
4. Can keep bootloader ***locked***
5. No more ***tampered*** tag after you RUU
Scenario: you are out and about (or a computer isn't handy) somehow you are in an infinite bootloop. You nandroid restore. But it is something on boot partition. Only way to fix this while S-On is fastboot flashing a boot.img, but if you were S-Off, you would have restored the boot image from the nandroid.
Edit: added 5th reason

I finally went S-OFF to help another user get step by step to restore to fully locked and stock ruu. I decided to leave it S-OFF. It's so nice to be able to just load a rom and not have to do anything else (other than wiping). It makes changing/upgrading rom's a breeze.
I highly recommend it. It seems scary, but once you have done it once, you will not go back.
But be warned, never go back to S-ON on a non-HTC hboot... you will hard brick your device. That is the only real threat I've heard about... if you never go back to S-ON, then you have absolutely nothing to worry about. Just about any error can be fixed except for going s-on on a non-ruu hboot.
Thanks

You need to extract the boot.IMG from liquid Rom and rename it ph98img and put that on your sd card or in the folder with adb and fastboot flash it using fastboot flash boot boot.img

you were dead on accurate regarding my problem. Your post helped me revive an all but dead rezound!! Thanks man!!
Hi,
I am new here and this is my first post so forgive me if starting a new thread for this topic was wrong but I found my own situation slightly different from the others here who had the same problem.
I have a gsm unlocked rezound and was trying to get rid of the unknown sim error message at lock screen. I followed the steps mentioned on this thread --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1882355. I rooted the phone, downloaded the apk. Deleted the .odex file and replaced the existing apk with the downloaded one and rebooted. Now, I am stuck at the lock screen with no icons. But for the other people who faced similiar issue, they were able to open the home screen. I can't. I can see pop ups for sms/mail. I get ring when a call comes in but I cant pick. I tried hard reset. Tried booting without sim/sd card. Still no luck. I tried connecting the phone to my pc but now my pc wont recognise the phone when its connected. I can see icon on top of the phone which says USB connected and I also see sync icon, but it will not go any further. I dont know how to get into the phone's menu now.
I may have bitten more than I can chew, silly me :crying:
If you guys can help me in any way, I would appreciate that a lot.
OS : 4.0.3 ICS Running HTC Sense 3.6.
A quick fix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2017932
Flash my debloater, choosing the Sense option(will be brought to a widget removal screen if you don' use them all) & AOSP lockscreen. Disadvantage to that though, you will have to unlock to see the caller id when it rings.

Thank you for the quick response. I have downloaded the file. I know this sounds stupid but I am a real rookie. I don't know how to do the flashing or how to get to the AOSP lock screen. If you could guide me through the process or maybe give me a link where I can learn it myself, it would be great.
Essentially since you already have rooted, you will(should) also have a custom recovery (TWRP, AmonRa, CWM). Install it as you would a regular rom but without any wipes until after flash of the zip. Dependent on which recovery you will want to look up their FAQ/QnA on how to wipe dalvik/cache.
Once you get inside the script, you will see what I meant by "Choose Sense & AOSP Lockscreen".

Yes the phone was rooted, but I used a rooting software from google apps from the phone. After I downloaded that app, it rooted the phone and brought in an extra icon. I remember it as SU root something, but I didnt do it from the pc. So I dont have any recovery on the pc. I used to sync the phone with htc sync. Unfortunately, right now, my pc wont recognise the phone. I tried root explorer for android from pc, it wont recognise the device. HTC sync too will not. But my phone seems to know when a USB is connected, it brings the usb icon on top but thats about it. ((
Ok, best suggestion at this point is to follow the instruction in the OP for installing TWRP in the Rezound development section.

Thank you for the help buddy. I am glad you said its not. I dont know what I would have done if it had. This is my first android phone and I took it a week back. I was beginning to miss my iPhone . Unfortunately the link you provided wont help me because I have no way of restarting phone other than by removing battery. Even when in fastboot, the pc does not recognise the device even when device shows fastboot usb. I doubt if I can get past step 1 in that link.
I found that I am on Vigor H Boot 2.27.000 and Radio 2.22.10.0803r with S-ON. I tried to turn S-Off after reading and educating myself on android from this forum till now. But even to S-Off, I need to be able to enable USB in debug mode which I am not able to. Any suggestions ?
Device still not fixed
hi,
I took the phone to a couple of places to check if it can be fixed, No one was able to fix it thus far, Any other advice or suggestions to fix this would be great. Any admins/mods have something to add ? Please, I am desperate to fix this phone. Anyway of doing this ?
Have you tried flashing a different rom?
If he's S-on and locked, he can simply flash the latest RUU can't he(just to get the phone working again). From there someone can help him set up adb, and s-off.

From what they posted, somehow they don't have a custom recovery even though they are rooted?
Can you put a PH98IMG.zip file of a recovery (either Amon Ra or TWRP) on your SD card and flash it in hboot? Then flash a custom ROM the same way from recovery.
You can take the SD card out and mount it on your pc and use your pc to copy over the recovery PH98IMG.zip file.
And oh yeah, I see what Obaterista... was saying. You should be able to flash the latest RUU from hboot. Here's a link for it:

Yes I rooted from a tool I found on android market. Noob me. So I do not have a recovery. I had downloaded the PH98IMG.zip and put it in my sd card and tried. The recovery starts and then shows a red exclamation and then nothing happens.
I was just trying different pages for help. Someone has mentioned that I should add the PH98IMG.zip as just PH98IMG and I shud not add the .zip. Thats the only thing left to try. I will post what happens when I do that.

What you'll have to do is relock your boot loader, flash the RUU and then unlock again. From there you should be able to flash a recovery and flash a rom.

HBOOT Error "No image!" for PH98DIAG/PH98IMG after JuopunutBear s-off [HTC REZOUND]
I tried to S-OFF my phone using JuopunutBear, and I succeeded with the wire trick, but afterwards my phone would not boot up. I tried booting HBOOT and noticed the following string of errors:
SD Checking...
Loading...[PH98DIAG.zip]
No image!
Loading...[PH98DIAG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Loading...[PH98IMG.zip]

I assume this meant that the kernel was somehow messed up, so I downloaded the appropriate "boot.img" file and tried flashing it using "fastboot flash boot boot.img". It successfully flashed, but the error messages still appear in HBOOT.
I am able to boot into AmonRa recovery, but I get errors at the bottom saying
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p36
(File exists)
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/command
...
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log
...When I try to restore from my nandroid backup that I made prior to attempting to root/s-off, I get an error
E:Couldn't open directory /sdcard/nandroid/I believe this error is because of the problems in the kernel (PH98DIAG/PH98IMG files).
I cannot flash a zip from the sdcard because both the sdcard and internal_sdcard appear as completely empty no matter what I do. I have tried and successfully performed an "adb push ROM.zip /" command to put the rom onto the sdcard, but the file would not show up in AmonRa when I tried to flash a zip.
I have tried using all of the commands under the "Wipe" menu in Amon Ra. I have tried formatting data, system, and cache as both Ext3 and Ext4. I have tried using the "FACTORY RESET" command when in HBOOT. I have tried re-installing AmonRa recovery, and I have tried all of these same things using CWM, as well. None of them have produced any forward results.
I am at a loss of things to try to restore my phone to any working state... please help! I just want my phone working again at this point, rooted or not.

Thanks so much for the help! I was able to just copy the ROM file I wanted to the external SD card once it was in the PC. I reformatted the SD card first. I flashed the ROM from recovery, and it worked. When I was in recovery and hboot, it still gave me the same error messages, however. Does this mean there is still something wrong with the kernal on the internal SD card? Is there a way I can check to see if the internal SD card is working?
Thanks!

Re: HBOOT Error "No image!" for PH98DIAG/PH98IMG after JuopunutBear s-off [HTC REZOUN
When you boot to hboot it always checks for a PH98IMG.zip first and if it's not there you get regular bootloader access, if it is there you get the option to update.
You said you flashed the rom, so did you get booted ok?
Are you trying to flash something via PH98IMG.zip?
If you're s off any of the current roms have the kernel included and you just wipe completely, flash the rom and reboot.

I downloaded PH98IMG.ZIP from mediafire and saved in sd card. Inserted the sd card in phone and went to hboot. It says
Main Version is older!
Update Fail!
Press <POWER> to reboot.
Please help me immediately by giving simple instructions. I do not know where the rom is and what it is. I am unable to find the rom. Also how to know whether phone has ics or something else ? I need to get this working as it is not my phone. Also it showed only cdma option, can i get the gsm option to use in India.
The PH98IMG.zip you used is an older RUU. You need on with hboot 2.25 or newer in it since you are s-on. Since you are in India, I assume you cannot take Verizon OTA updates. So best bet is to download one of the mirrors linked below for global RUU.

I messed up with my data, cache and maybe system too. Please let me know whether this is the right procedure to relock the boot loader.
1. Download the fastboot tool from Slacker101 and save it to desktop of your computer.
Fastboot Tool for Rezound
2. Plug in the phone via USB cable to your computer.
3. Go to Settings > Developer Options > Make sure USB Debugging is checked ON.
4. Open the folder called tools and hold shift on your keyboard and right click in a blank area in the folder. Then select Open Command Prompt Here.
5. When the command prompt opens, type the following with hitting enter at the end of each line:
adb reboot fastboot
fastboot oem lock

I researched a bit and tried updating but my recovery would not detect the file(bootloader's unlocked though). I tried rooting the device but it said I needed something called and insecure boot image which I tried flashing but the bootloader failed to detect the img file.I really dont know what to do at the moment.
