If I did the wire trick to get s-off how will flashing the latest RUU affect me? Wanted to try the latest Ineffabilis rom, but they say you should flash the RUU first. Can someone give me a run down of how this should work? I am unlocked, s-off, ICS firmware, amon ra recovery.

S-off won't affect your flashing any RUU. Just download the RUU you want to run , put on the external SD card rename to PHIMG98.zip then reboot to bootloader. Press power to access fastboot menu , it will then find the RUU and read it then ask it you want to update. Select volume up to choose yes and let it do its thing. It should automatically run twice , because the first time it just installs the stock recovery, and 2 other parts. Second time it installs the rest including radio's and system image.
When finally done it should reboot and you will be on the stock RUU that you ran. After that , just reflash a custom recovery and either restore a backup rom or flash the rom of your choice.

great explanation of how the ruu process is done. One thing to add, back up internal sd before doing this because it will be wiped.
Just to double check, I don't need to lock the phone before flashing RUU?

I am S-Off with AmonRa 3.15 Unlocked, Rooted and have the GB Stock Sense.
Things seemed a lot simpler with the DInc. Load the RUU on the SD, change the name zip and boot it from the boot loader.
From what I am reading, I have to flash the newest leaked ROM, then install AmonRa 3.15 again, then load the radios?
Doesn't sound or seem right and I know I will end up screwing something up.
Can someone give me a step by step instruction on this? Do I have to name each file PH98IMG.zip, install it then delete it and load another to install?
I am not understanding it.
Lmao wtf ?
Grab the ruu file, rename it to ph98img.zip and put on root of sdcard. Itll update firmware, rom, radios in one shot. Then you reinstall aromra and why are you s off and unlocked ? Point of soff is to be locked and still be rooted. I think you probably misread some threads wrong but good luck, hope i helped
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
Btw if your unlocked, you cant run the ruu i believe. Better relock first .
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
I know I did. I thought I had to unlock to root so I did. There are so many variations of the update threads going around. S-On, S-Off, S-On, Unlocked, Rooted. I can't keep this crap straight. That is why I am asking.
Thank you
i suggest reading this thread to get a better idea of everything involved.
but yes, phones change and evolve. they're not all the same, so you gotta roll with it.
If you're s-off I don't think you'll have to relock. But it's a total wipe of the phone, so you'll have to reinstall Amon Ra. You'll lose everything except your external SD card.
Back up your internal SD, and anything you care about.
Put the RUU on your external SD named as PH98IMG.zip. MD5 it *after* you put it on the SD card to ensure a perfect transfer.
Shut off phone, pull battery. Put battery in.
Start bootloader with volume and power keys. Everything's automatic from there. Volume up to say Yes when prompted. Process restarts automatically if the RUU has to flash your HBOOT.
On first boot, go straight to the SD card and rename that PH98IMG.zip file so you don't lock yourself out of recovery.
Now shut down and do the battery thing again.
Start bootloader and do the factory system reset/wipe. This is your last and only chance to fix any corruption in the radio partition, and you need to do this before flashing Amon Ra. You'll see the recovery screen and a progress bar that just twirls. When done the phone reboots automatically.
You may now shut down and install Amon Ra. In my experience, the phone will remain unlocked, and you can flash from fastboot if you prefer.
I haven't tried rooting the leak from Amon Ra because I usually just apply a rooted ROM from this point.
Be careful what ROMs you apply, because some ROMs may "upgrade" your kernel to an older version. In my limited experience, the one on the RUU is the best one.
Well, this changed me to Sense 3.5 software number 2.01.605.11 I downloaded Scott's Stock Rooted RUU 3.14.605.5 LOL!
Told you **** never works right when I do it.
Going to try relocking and running again

You don't need to relock, you just need the right file. Scott's rooted 3.14 is a ROM, not the RUU. You need the actual RUU. The name of his thread is a little confusing as it is based on the newest leaked RUU but is not bootloader flashable via the PH98IMG.zip method. Get the real RUU and follow the excellent instructions above.
The PH98IMG in that post is not the full RUU and is only for the special case that he outlines in the first post under "install instructions".

Got it. Couldn't install under HBOOT. Had to do it under recovery and couldn't use the PH98IMG file name. Just left Scott's as named in the download.

I'm running Viperrez 1.3 with kernel version: 3.0.16. S-OFF'd

if you are s-off then i would say yes. update to the latest ruu.
steps for s-off:
download ruu
rename ruu to PH98IMG.zip
place on root of sd card
back up internal storage because the ruu will wipe it.
run ruu
first time flashing ruu it will update hboot and 4 other things and then ask for a reboot.
let the phone reboot back into bootloader and continue with the flashing.
boot phone once.
remove the ruu zip from sd card and place the this hboot on the root of your sd card
boot back into hboot and let it update.
boot back into you phone and remove hboot zip
now this part is up to you. you can either run the fastboot command to flash a recovery or find a recovery that is already in zip form to flash in hboot.
profit
Latest firmware is listed in the Firmware thread in the dev section, no need to run the whole RUU and wipe out your phone if you're s-off.

I did the entire RUU, I got everything to work! Thanks guys
So Im S-off and wanted to see if Ive got all i need to updating my rezound to global status and installing a new Rom
1. Ive gotten the RUU from here http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ull-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/
Rename to PH98IMG.zip and put into root of SD card run in bootloader
(Q)I hear ppl say run the ruu 2x is this when its the exe or if im flashing the PH98IMG.zip, once is enough.
After Flash, run once to let the upgrade settle in or can I power off and switch the the PH98IMG.zip to an Amonra file and flash.
2. Flash Amon ra from here http://neo.androidrevolutions.com/. Put in root of SD card and let it run in bootloader.
3. Run root in recovery.
4. Should i reset the phone again in rom and in bootloader to clean it once more and should i run scotts cleanwipe now or before this?
5. Lastly Flash Rom of choice.
If im missing any steps plz let me. thanks for helping the noob

I'm the kind of guy that typically does everything via the computer/exe, but as far as I understand flashing the PG98 from bootloader should only need to be done once (it will reboot and continue after it updates hboot). Could be wrong though.
I typically let the stock rom boot once before flashing recovery.
After flashing recovery, boot to it. Typically you don't need to flash a root because most ROMS will already have root built in, but I'd check the details of it to make sure. If it does, just boot into recovery, factory reset/wipe, and flash your rom. If not, you should still be able to flash ROM/root, all in one swipe without needing to boot.

Really? I'm pretty sure it's because the 4.** upgrade had a new HBOOT, so the first flash updates HBOOT, then the second flash updates everything else. Personally, I had to flash twice initially, but I need to RUU again after breaking a different ROM, and it only required one flash since HBOOT was already up to date.
Thanks for the help guys. Ran ruu 2x for good measure then factory reset n cleanwiped. Ran the new rom n I'm back in business. Only thing is where are the governor kernel controls usually at. I'm using slimkang w snuzzo 1.3 kernal. Do I need to install setcpu or system tuner?
Thanks again for all the help

You are correct the first run updates the hboot. Then the phone goes black for about twenty seconds. And it'll go back to bootloader and and finish the update.. but it is recommended by some to just run it twice to be sure there's no gb crap left behind..

Hboot 1.57
Somehow my recovery got deleted.
Clockworkmod recovery is installed.
I just don't know what to do
Is there a way I can just undo everything and go back to the stock rom?
Edit: Tried ViperROM and it's doing the exact same thing.
Make sure you are wiping everything except sdcard and then flash the rom. Maybe even try changing recoveries to 4ext.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk 2
I assume you are s-off correct? I suggest going with Scotty's idea and switching to 4ext recovery. Cwm has been know to cause issues with the evo 3d. I'm also assuming that you mean hboot 1.58 not 1.57. FYI you can use any hboot with those ROMs. Just can't use the stock 2.89 kernel with any other hboot but 1.58. You also havnt specified whether or not your using the stock kernels that come with the ROM.
The meanrom by default flashes the VM kernel so if your on hboot 1.58. You have to flash the stock 2.89 kernel in the meanrom folder that's generated after you flash meanrom.
As for viperom you shouldnt have any problem flashing it considering that its compatible with any hboot. Which brings me back to my main point. Flash 4ext recovery and make sure you do a full wipe. That includes data factory wipe, cache and dalvik wipe and wipe all partitions except sdcard.
There's no reason give up when you run into a snag. There's usually a solution to every problem and you did the right thing by posting your question here. There's a ton of possibilities on here to do with your phone. Just read, research, ask questions if you are unsure of something.

I'm S-on, will it matter? And also I do mean 1.57. And one more thing. Does it matter if I boot up into a recovery using the command prompt? Also I'm not sure what kernel it is. I guess the one that's in the zip folder? Also sorry for slow responses I've been working days. Any chance you'll be on tomorrow around 7pm central?
Update: I reformatted everything and tried reinstalling Viperrom through CWM but no dice still boots up and resets. Got 4ext installed. Working from there.
Update: 4EXT is the best recovery I've ever seen and I'm never using CWM again.
Update: I installed VIperROM through 4ext and it's still restarting itself.

OK go ahead and turn it on. This will enable you to flash kernels inside recovery having s-on. No you don't have to root to flash a custom ROM. However every ROM has superuser baked into them so flashing one will automatically give you root.
I just want to add that s-on users do not have access to the boot partition which is where your kernel sits. Thats the cause of your bootlooping, before your recovery wasn't flashing any kernel with the ROM. Now with 4ext and smart flash its possible.

How do I flash a kernel? I'm not really sure what one is, I just know it's really important.
Think of a kernel as a airplane tower that guides the direction of how the android system operates. It controls touch screen, it contains the drivers that make your keyboard work, WiFi, 4g, camera etc.. it is also responsible for taking over android run time after hboot finishes initiating everything to get android up and running. Someone correct me if my information is incorrect please lol. For now, stick with 4ext recovery and enable smart flash under tools settings. Everything should be good after that. I would highly recommend gaining s-off to make everything easier.
If your interested just ask and I'm sure one of us will be glad to help you.
Edit: Its real easy to flash a kernel once smartflash is enabled. A kernel always comes with every ROM or else it wouldn't be able to boot up. As I have stated before in my previous post about s-on users and the limitations.

I formatted everything using 4ext and installed a rom i also flashed the boot img just incase and it still restarted.
Here's the steps I took.
1. Format everything.
2. Download the.zip file and copy to SD card.
3. Load the recovery and enable smartflash.
4. Installed the rom.
5. Flashed the boot.img
6. Also tried without flashing the boot img.
And just to clarify. I'm installing ViperROM. And I only need the .zip file, correct?
I ended up using RUU to fix it and go back to the stock rom/ect, Then locked the bootloader unlocked it and flashed superuser and rooted it then got s-off using the wire trick. But after I rebooted it keeps taking me back to the jbear bootup logo and when I try to flash a recovery it doesn't load I just get the htc logo then jbear logo then it restarts. I followed this guide.htt p://w ww.yo utube.co m/ watch?v =tRj47iFQvbE I found here on the xda forums.

Your s-off. If you have root you can flash your recovery from 4ext updater or use flash GUI image from Google play. If no root, you will need to take your recovery and Rename it to PG86IMG, place it on root of sdcard and boot into bootloader. Let the phone pick up the recovery update and flash it. Power up your phone and take the file off the root of your card. Then power back down into bootloader and click on recovery. Let me know if it works.

OK, get latest twrp recovery zip and do the same thing you tried with 4ext. I know, its a pain in the ass. I had to go through the same thing when I got my phone s-off with wire trick. The reason why I'm having you do this this way is because in case you ever need to have your phone serviced. They will check to see if you unlocked your bootloader or relocked it. Your bootloader is in "locked" state thus, they cannot deny you service regardless of s-on or s-off.

I just ended up unlocking the boot loader again and installing the recovery that way. Then saw this.. oh well lol. I really do appreciate the help. . I'm going to try to install viperrom again, and double backup this time! I'll let you know how it goes.
I installed the 4.03.605.2 Global RUU per Nils instructions for flashing his ICS ROM, and for some reason I cannot get to the bootloader by pressing down and power now (I even tried up and power, no luck). Luckily I was able to get to it and recovery through ADB so I could complete installation of the ROM. Anyone have any idea why this would be happening? Anything in particular I should look for? I can still get to it through the power menu on the ROM, but it'd be nice to get to the bootloader the normal way in case I ever need to and I don't have access to a computer with adb on it.
Phone is S-ON, bootloader says h-boot 2.27.0000
radio 2.22.10.0801r/2.22.10.0803r
Recovery is AmonRa 3.15

Luckily I was able to get to it and recovery through ADB so I could complete installation of the ROM. Anyone have any idea why this would be happening? Anything in particular I should look for? I can still get to it through the power menu on the ROM, but it'd be nice to get to the bootloader the normal way in case I ever need to and I don't have access to a computer with adb on it.
Phone is S-ON, bootloader says h-boot 2.27.0000
radio 2.22.10.0801r/2.22.10.0803r
Recovery is AmonRa 3.15

i would re run the ruu. when you installed it, did it remove amonra? if not then it didnt install correctly.
it should run 2 times.
Ok I'll give that a whirl. Would I be ok backing up my current ROM, running the RUU, then restoring the nand backup? I'm assuming yes, but just figured I'd ask anyways.

i wouldnt recomend it. thats when the bugs show their face. normally it would be ok but a big update like this i would say do a fresh install of the rom after the ruu and restore data for user apps only.
