I would like to download CM9 for my HTC Rezound S-ON. I have read through the Mega thread dedicated to it ( [ROMs][10/1/2012] CyanogenMod 9 [MEGATHREAD][CDMA] ) and have downloaded the CM9 zip and GAPPS zip but when I go to download the S-ON boot.img it says that it has either been removed or moved. I read through the entire thread and there was one update done but that download also has been removed. Without this download I cannot get CM9.
Could someone please let me know if I am misunderstanding this thread or provide me with the proper place to download it from. I am new to XDA however, my phone is rooted and flashed recovery Arom RA and I previously had an HTC Incredible rooted, flashed and had CM7.2.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.I can tell by the threads and posts the time and work that the developers take when creating these different ROMS.
Thank you

Take the boot.img that is inside the cm9 .zip you downloaded and flash it in HBOOT with fastboot
Like Fly wrote, extract the boot.img from the cm9.zip, then zip the boot.img and name it PH98IMG. Place the PH98IMG.zip file on your SD card. Flash the ROM, then go into the bootloader and run fastboot.
Or, download CounterShrike, that's the only ROM that worked for me and S-on. You still have to go into the bootloader, but this ROM's installer places the file for you.

Thank you both very much for your quick responses. I thought that the file may be in the CM9 zip, but my husband said no and since he is the resident "tech genius" I listened to him. I cannot wait to flash this to my phone CM is my favorite ROM and I have missed it on my new rezound.
Again thank you for your help.

This will not work. You'll also need a proper Android.info file in the PH98IMG.
Could I take the .img file and flash it using adb on the computer?

No, but close. Boot into bootloader, go to fastboot, and run "fastboot flash boot boot.img"

I just rooted using a guide for the revolutionary method. It says the .exe is supposed to ask if you want to install clockwork after it obtains s-off & it never asked me. I do have s-off but no recovery and no superuser as well. I searched this problem and found answers. I found a zip & renamed it to PG86IMG.zip on the root of my sd or whatever & tried to install it but i don't think it worked. I've tried to go into recovery & all I get is an image of a phone & a red triangle. I have a clockwork img now but I have no idea how to install it & i tried to go to my sdk but all my laptop says it has is sdk manager & it won't let me enter any commands. I've been reading for hours & I'm stuck. Any help would be appreciated if anyone knows & thanks
Download this file and rename it PG86IMG.zip and place on the root of your sdcard. Its twrp recovery, which I prefer to cwm
http://db.tt/aShyeKO9
Now turn off phone and boot into the hboot and wait for it to check for update files and follow instructions to install. I think its up for yes and down for no, and wait for it to install. Then reboot and delete the file from your SD card. You should be able to boot into recovery now. Then flash this fixed su found in the twrp recovery thread.

Make sure you don't have the file named as PG86IMG.zip.zip
If you have file extensions turned off in Windows you may have done that by accident. If you have file extensions hidden just name is PG86IMG without the .zip part.
You're also probably trying to flash a recovery on an HBOOT v1.5 phone; I've had no luck flashing it with the aformentioned .zip method try using fastboot to flash the recovery:
(On windows)
fastboot flash recovery [whatever the name of the file is].img

This was actually the issue. I put the .zip in there when I really just should've put PG86IMG so it wouldn't have .zip twice. Thanks for the help guys

You need the stock recovery zip. Flash that then you would need the latest 2.17 PC86IMG.ZIP use it then do the fastboot oem lock and your good to go.
Ummm, just download the zip for the stock rom, and flash it.

I see a few threads around for doing this on hboot 1.5 but they all seem to have different instructions. Can you provide detailed instructions on how to do this? Here's what I get from this but not sure if it's right.
1) Download stock recovery zip
2) reboot into fastboot USB and boot the customer recovery.img (This will get you into CWM with full access to write)
3) Manually flash the recovery zip.
*these next steps are where I get iffy*
4) Manually flash the PC86IMG.ZIP while in the same CWM session? Or Place is on the SDcard and then what?
5) then relock using the fastboot command above.
Please let me know, especially about #4.

flash the GB ruu and your phone will be stock but you will still have to relock the bootloader
Noob at Flashing RUU
Sorry for asking but I'm a noob at flashing but where do i get the stock RUU and how and where do i get it and flash it. Is there any links on how to do this. Would going to recovery and unzipping a file do the trick in my SD card. Not sure if i hit the spot on this but thanks for the help.

Stock Recovery
I don't think you need to run an ruu to get the stock recovery back. search and you should be able to find a download link to get the stock recovery and you can just flash that with adb/fastboot.

For stock recovery and latest ruu firmware: http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ull-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/
Once you download, copy to root of micro sdcard, and rename to PH98IMG.zip
Then boot into bootloader, and it should detect it and flash automatically. note it has to flash twice. You must say yes, It will look like it rest and restarted, but it's normal.
Don't forget to delete or rename it after your done or

If you are on a stock ROM, all you have to do to replace amon ra is to do "fastboot flash recovery [stock recovery filename].img "
Then if you want to run amon ra again, just do "fastboot boot recovery [amon ra recovery].img"

my free application, Flash Image GUI, will automatically extract the boot.img file and flash it. Then the next step is to reboot into the custom recovery and install the exact same rom.zip file.
essentially with htc's unlock method, the kernel portion of a ROM .zip can't be loaded from the standard recovery boot mode. my application, Flash Image GUI, loads the kernel portion of the ROM .zip from Android mode, easily allowing you to reboot into the custom recovery and apply the system portion of the ROM .zip.
if you're interesting in the more manual/command line route, which requires access to a desktop, the command you'll need is fastboot flash boot boot.img. in addition, the ROM .zip file should be the same as any other .zip file. if it doesn't open properly, might be a corrupt download. the boot.img is generally located in the root of the rom.zip file, or sometimes in a sub folder called kernel or boot. Flash Image GUI is very good at searching/locating the boot.img file in valid ROM .zip files.
hope the suggestions and some of those technical details help!

Try downloading the ROM again and use a program like 7zip to unzip the ROM. I'm pretty sure you can go into the ROM with esfile explorer from your phone. Then use flash image GUI and select the boot.IMG exactly.

Sounds like a bad download of the ROM .zip file. Downloading a 2nd time should resolve the issue. Many times you can check the md5sum of the downloaded file to ensure the download is correct.
If you still get the error from my app, after downloading the file again and ensure the md5sums match, link me to the exact file? I'd like to take a look.
Hope that helps!

thanks bro after downloading it a couple times it still wasnt working for me but after the 8/29/2012 update i downloaded it unzipped like a charm. =0 thanks for the amazing support!
So i was able to get the cm10 boot.img and flash it through the flash Gui app. once i did that flashed the cm10 rom in recovery. i triedd to boot into it and i keep getting sent back to the bootloader. I wiped cache davlik factory reset and wiped the system. was i not supposed to wipe the system? now i cant even restore to a sense rom is it because i flashed the cm10 boot.img? i am assuming i need to FASTBOOT a sense boot.img since i cant get into a sense rom.
So finally after flash gui not working for me i Fastbooted the Boot.img through adb and was able to flash cm10 zip again and it BOOTED! i tried this method after downloading the 8/31/2012 cm10 zip. I think i wiped system last time which messed up the whole thing!

Wiping the system and then trying to boot will definitely cause issues. Glad everything worked out!
For future reference, if you do experience any issues you think are related to how Flash Image GUI functions, feel free to post up in that thread. I do my best to respond as soon as possible!

Are you s-off or s-on? If you're s-on you need to manually flash the boot.img if you dont know what that is. I can explain later. But if you're s-on you need to manually flash the boot.img. On your computer take the zip. Extract it with any zip. It will give a folder. In the folder there will be a boot.img, take this out. Place it in your adb and fastboot folder. Then boot the phone into fastboot
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Try this first if not we can continue with another plan

Sorry I'm replying a little late.. And yes!
1. Take the original zip extract it. Open the folder that it makes, there should be some items in it. One being "boot.img".
2. Take the boot.img and move it to your adb and fastboot folder.
3. From there, put your phone in fastboot (volume down + power, then first option)
4. Make sure phone is picked up
fastboot devices
If your device is picked up, you're good to flash the boot.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
It'll send the boot.img. write it, all that fun stuff.
fastboot reboot
Be patient as the first boot can take up to 20 minutes. Report back or if I need to reword anything I will.

Edit: after getting your phone to boot. I would suggest running rumrunner. It will get you S-off. http://rumrunner.us/ go through here. Use the universal .0.5.0 if you have any questions, there is a thread in general about rumrunner working for the rezound. If any other questions. Feel free to ask here or PM me.

I recommend at minimum 3 s-on flashes to get acquainted with fastboot and ph98img flashing. It helps reduce end user error when flashing roms.
