Hey guys not the best place to post this but im new to the xda forums. I just switched to the Tbolt and have always posted on droidforums.net for my droid rooting needs so dont have the number of posts to post in the development forum yet.
Anyway one thing I've always tried to do when i can, is do things the hard way. I've been rooting since the G1 on tmob back before clock work existed. I did my droid the original way. And I skipped the one root methods for my Tbolt. Basically on the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009876 damf rom link he talks about flashing the kernel using flashboot, or just a normal way. Im curious on the flashbooting though. From what i've read after enabling fastboot through adb its just the issue of writing the correct command in your computer command prompt. I believe the command for a custom kernel is :
fastboot flash boot /path/to/<boot>.img
so basically the command (assuming i put the boot.img file on my C:\drive) would be (fastboot flash boot C:\boot.img) anyway thanks for the help.

if you downloaded the SDK, ADB will be in platform-tools and fastboot will be in tools, i just moved fastboot too platform-tools.
you need to stick the kernel, which will be boot.img into platform-tools folder.
the command in CMD, is "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
obviously you have to have CMD at an open prompt on that folder, platform-tools.
I usually type "fastboot devices" first, and make sure it sees my phone, then type the above command.
"C:\ASDK\platform-tools>fastboot flash boot boot.img"
for example. I renamed my SDK, ASDK for ease.
yea, im fuzzy on the whole flashboot thing too, i am looking for a good explanation of it. how i understand it atm is you boot your device in bootloader and tell it to flashboot, there on your computer you fire up adb and can push (dont know if thats the right term for it) your kernel to your device.
but thats only a guess, i still dont get it exactly.
oh and thank you guys for everything this is all awesome work your doing for everyone here! I love this place.

but after it runs a line shows up as follows:

That tells me that youre not in fastboot on your device. I can dupe the same message with my phone disconnected from the pc, then I plug it in in fastboot, and all is good.
Please reinstall the drivers needed but it sounds like youre good. On occasion, I wont be able to flash some things or a file cant load. A reboot of the pc fixes those rare cases for me. Also, refreshing the folders where the files are located.
I also had issues using fastboot, flashing things to the evo because I had my nexus connected for a tether.
If I could do it for you, I would. Hopefully I can help.

this just got even worse, I uninstalled the drivers, and now I can't reinstall them. I can't find them. My computer wont recognize my phone at all. I've tried to goto the device manager and find them online automatically, and I've tried the google USB drivers from the extra folder from the SDK Manager...
if you can point me toward the USB drivers that'd be great, but regardless, what your saying is I need to connect my phone while its in the bootloader? not once its booted? or are you saying I need to boot my phone through the bootloader selecting "fastboot" first?
thanks again

Theyre all in there. Youll need those files to root but you should already have the htc sync drivers installed, plus the android usb drivers. You can remove htc sync after installation but keep the drivers.
Boot into hboot and connect it, it may recognize the hardware. Then select fastboot. Fastboot is 'hot swappable' we'll call it, so you can be in fastboot and disconnect and reconnect your usb cable and youll see when its connected-- itll read 'fastboot usb'.

Where were you going wrong? And what'd you do to correct it? So everyone knows, in case they encounter the same issues.
Sent from my Google Nexus S 4G via XDA Premium
Good Idea:
Problem 1)
The RUU wouldn't run
I had this problem because I had already unlocked the the bootloader
I had to re-lock it in order to fix it
Problem 2)
Then The Recovery.img would push through because I forgot to re-unlock the phone
what I did that made it easier:
I wrote a little batch file to run the scripts - a batch file is a command prompt command list set. you open a notepad, type in the the command lists and save it with a .bat file extension...
so I would install all the files and then make a batch file with the following:
cd C:\android
adb push recovery.img /sdcard/
adb push su-2.3.6.3.zip /sdcard/
adb reboot bootloader
pause
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
change the C:\andriod to whatever your directory set was
and when the batch program runs
anyway good luck to anyone who ends up here, and thanks again tailsthecat3 for the great help

sorry but ive been trying t unlock and root my rezound for months and no i know i have a great quide on phandroid but i cant get unlocking to work. i type the adb devices command and my phone shows up but then when i type"fastboot devices" my phone wont be recognized by my computer can someone help me asap. i have a windows 8 64bit laptop
I have unlocked on windows 8 64bit before. Same way as any other Windows. Go into your device manager and see if your phone is an unconfigured device and make sure adb on phone is turned on.

How do i do that and im new so i dont really understand alot but itrecognizes it when i do "adb devices" but not "fastboot devices"
Can you give me a link to how you unlocked and rooted your rezound please? up to date
I would start here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37515020&postcount=444
That'll give you an overview of what you will need to do to get a custom ROM on there. Also, there's a folder attached there that has what you need to use fastboot.
If you don't have your unlock token from HTC yet, go here:
http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/
Here's a guide to unlocking:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416109&highlight=unlock
There's a link to "One Click Root" at the bottom but I don't know if that's current. I've never used it. You can just flash Amon Ra after unlocking. Get it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339679
Just download v3.16. Don't worry about the attached files. Just grab it from the v3.16 link right above the attachments. Put that in the same folder you're using for flashing and type this:
fastboot flash recovery {nameofrecovery}
Then navigate in there to developer section and root.
Then make a nandroid immediately and append it with "_stock" so you always have it to go back to.
Now you are ready to flash a custom ROM.
Since you are s-on you will need to flash the kernel from the ROM after you flash the ROM. Some ROMs create one on your sd card in which case you will probably end up at the bootloader with it asking if you want to update, say yes. If not, you need to pull it from the ROM, put it in the "android" folder and flash in fastboot. I would pull it out ahead of time in case so you're ready.
fastboot flash boot boot.img (or whatever the name of the kernel is)
So I was trying to run a livecd and s-off my phone so I can get root. I have 2.09 so dirtyracun is the only was I can do this im told. Well the instruchions on there site are very vauge (to me at least). This is my first time ever trying to use ubuntu and I have no idea what im doing. I looked for a video walkthough but I could not find one.
for instance step 4 is
Check what mainver your phone is running
With your phone in Fastboot USB type the following:
sudo ./fastboot getvar mainver
But it does not tell me how to check the mainver? I dont even know what that is let alond how to do it. I need a very very simple complete walk throught, can anyone point me to one?

Ctrl+Alt+T to open up a terminal. Then cd into the folder where all your dirtyracun/babyracun files are. Then run all the commands from there. Most commands require you to be in fastboot on your phone. Babyracun requires you to be in TWRP. And babyracun is only required if you have the 3.16 OTA installed (which is what the first step tells you).
Ok, so I will be trying this tomorrow. I hope I can get throu it. Ill report back.

Are you running the commands from the folder your fastboot file is? If you download dirtyracun, one of the files in there is fastboot, just cd into the folder where you extracted them and run the command from there.
Other than that, make sure your phone says "fastboot usb" when plugged into the computer and in fastboot.

My Evo LTE is the first time I've ever had to use adb or fast boot and install SDK. I did, and I've used fastboot a few times now (not on this device, actually, on a GNex I have to maintain). But I'm really new to ASB, fastboot, and Linux commands. It might be helpful to explain what CD is/means. It would be helpful to me, too.

Sorry. The command "cd" (change directory) plus the folder or path to where the dirty racun files are. If you don't know the path, you can do
cd ls
to list the directories. If you see the folder you want, like your "dirtyracun" folder (or whatever you called it),
cd dirtyracun
will put you in that folder. This and putting "sudo ./" before every fastboot command is all the linux you need to know to s-off.

Is your phone in fastboot? I've never seen or heard of that error.
so I need to boot the phone to fastboot first? Ill try this now... Anyone one a "live chat" channle? that might help.

Unlimited io is good with help on irc. Post questions here and I could probably answer. Give me your phone info (info on the bootloader) and I could make you an easy/basic list of steps you need to take in order.
What are you currently trying to do?
dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img
Did you change the name of the recovery to "twrp.img" before putting it on your internal memory?
How to I access the irc?

It is assumed that people have very basic knowledge of Linux to use this...
"cd" in Linux is much like in DOS/CMD... so if you extracted your file to with the graphic interface, open a terminal and type the cd command just like you would in DOS, except use the forward slash instead of backslash... so use cd /users/eenpermana/downloads or whatever the relative folder is.
sudo ./ControlBear is a command done in the terminal to execute the ControlBear application, with superuser permissions (sudo means SUper-user DO) from the current directory.
chmod 755 on EACH of those files, not the full command as shown (it might be chainable, but I always do it individually)... so:
chmod 755 ./ControlBear
chmod 755 ./adb
chmod 755 ./fastboot
From the directory that you extracted the file. chmod changes the permissions of the files, to make them executable in this case since Linux doesn't use a files extension to determine that.

Also, you could try this... https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-tbsbTajV1UeGZ5SWhlUDU0MWM/edit?usp=sharing
It is the Windows ControlBear software for the Rezound, although not supported it does work fine for most people... But there is obviously a reason it was pulled, so YMMV and I am not responsible for any issues or problems with it or that it might cause.
Take a look HERE Using the instructions I found there, I was easily able to use the ubunto version. It is from someone else that has very little ubunto experience and turned it into a simple process.

many thanks dude
your guide and info have led me into basic ubuntu command enlighment, hhe
but new problem come to me now...exactly at the final step "wire trick" and yes the problem's here.
i think i have done all steps correctly like in the instructions and have chosen proper wire too ohh yea also about the timing.
Still unlucky for me, just stuck both on my device "blur grey htc splash screen" and on terminal "do the wire trick....." continously.
thanks again for your help at least i'm not stuck at the cd/cd/cd stuff .
may be i'll try it later while waiting for alternative ways which not using wire trick , etc and just use the similar method like htc one
btw, any suggestion about decent custom rom (global preferred but not a must) yea absolutely for the s-on and unlocked? thanks again :good:
Wire trick is pretty tricky...same if you were to use juponubears s-off...in my opinion with Verizon shutting s-off methods for their phones I think that's why it was pulled...timing and everything is a key

If it keeps saying to do the wire trick over and over, then it means that you are probably using the wrong type of wire and both ends are not making the proper contact. A lot of people mentioned to use an insulated paper clip but it wouldn't work for me. I ended up finding a piece of very thin stranded wire that I scavenged from an old car stereo installation harness and I got it right away. You will know that you got the proper contact when you get the success message and then have to wait for it to restart and see if you got it right. If not, you just have to run controlbear again. One trick that worked for me was to find an online metronome and set it for 48 bpm. I used this to get the timing down right. I have read of setting it anywhere from 35 beats per minute up to the 48 beats per minute that I used. The last time I did the wire trick using the Ubuntu method, I got it on the first try.
They don't call the wire trick, a trick for nothing. The one where you have to touch the contact in the hole, you have to hold the wire straight up and down to hit it.
Took me several times to get it right... keep trying, or try another piece of wire. I've used a paper clip to do it... not sure if it will shock or not so I wrapped the middle in cloth while i did it
Been using the Infection mod for quite a while I like it a lot. Have some random reboots but I think that is an issue with my phone. Super fast and pretty good on the batter, and lots of features. Also note, S-on you have to pull the boot.img and flash separately (with the adb tools, fastboot flash boot boot.img)
