I find it hard to believe that there is no step-by-step out there, so I'm just going to assume that I'm really bad at internet searching and apologize for posting a question that surely must be answered somewhere out there...
I ultimately want to try out the newest ICS leak (depending on whether Flash works on it?), but it seems that the best first step is to get S-Off on my rooted, stock Gingerbread Rezound.
But I can't find a simple step-by-step instruction set anywhere... Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I downloaded a toolkit from hasoon2000 that's supposed to make things easy, but I don't know what to do with it.
hasoon2000 links to instructions that only show a video and assume I know how to use something called Juopunutbear(?).
It seems that every tidbit of information I can find is only partial...
Where can I find a step-by-step, beginning-to-end guide to get S-Off for a rooted Rezound? Am I missing something?
Prerequisites
- Must be on a stock Gingerbread ROM OR The 3.14.605.5 ICS Leak <---- NO OTHER ICS LEAKS BUT THIS ONE!
- Must be HTCDev unlocked
- Must be rooted
1. Install HTC Drivers
2. Go to www.HTCDev.com
2a. Follow instructions and unlock your bootloader/Device.
2b. flash a rooted rom/gain root access
3. Get a fresh microSD card or backup yours because s-off will delete everything on it.
4. After unlocking run the toolkit which will push you through s-off(Juno-w/e)
4a. Get a length of insulated wire about 8 or so inches, then when the Toolkit cmd prompt says to, ground it outThe pins you touch are in this picture.
5. If it worked, you'll be s-off'd, install a recovery & rom.
If still confused just ask, I'll try my best to walk you through it.

When we speak of this "leak" for the rezound that means that we took ics 4.0 from another phone and ported it over.. so what is the leak vs porting it. When rezoind does finally get our 4.0 update , what perks will that bring us even though we have the "leak" or "port" ...we will be able to have aosp roms right

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the leaks are not ported and they ARE for the Rezound. When the ota comes, I don't think it will be much different from what we have now (3.14.605.10).
I believe the source will have to be dropped for AOSP.

The Rezound is getting Sense 3.6 with it's OTA update, the newer HTC ICS based phones are getting Sense 4.0.
The leaks are Sense 3.6 builds specific for the Rezound, the ports are Sense 4.0 based roms for other phones made to work on the Rezound.
So what exactly is the benefit to S-OFF? I tried to do it, but bricked my rezound. Luckily, Verizon exchanged it as DOA, and so I'm all good for now.

Easier flashing (don't have to create a ph98img.zip file any more) edit boot screen (my favorite reason) and be able to flash between different firmwares (this is a big deal).
Hmmm. Well, I've done all that with S-ON. I've got a custom ROM, custom recovery, custom boot animation (a JB one posted somewhere on this site), and the ICS leaked firmware. I don't remember using PH98IMG.ZIP (rather it was other zips), though I was pretty excited to play with a new phone, so I could be forgetting. Actually, now that I'm thinking more on it, I did flash the PH98IMG.ZIP when I put CleanROM on the phone, and so I suppose that also put the updated firmware on it.

The ability to do Nandroid restores and have it flash the boot.img without needing any help scripts or doing it manually via fastboot was my main reason for doing it..

By "edit boot screen" he meant the splash screen before the boot animation (the blindingly bright white HTC screen). This can't be changed without having S-OFF.
The PH98IMG.zip you flashed with CleanROM was to update the kernel, not your firmware. Since you are S-ON, it won't install the boot.img in recovery during the ROM flash, so it uses a separate file to flash it in the bootloader. Otherwise, no boot.img = phone isn't booting (obviously).

To have call recording capabilities I would have to have s off becuae to record a call without an app depends on the kernel correct.

I used the control bear s off tool tonight, after many, many...many times I finally got s-off. But now the only thing I have is the modified boot loader. I tried too use adb to push recovery and boot images and it would say success, but would actually never boot into them, it would just stay on the white and green HTC screen. Any help is appreciated of course, I just need to get booted up.

Fortunately, I'm starting with a rooted Rezound already.
3. Blank microSD is no problem.
4. I don't know what "run the toolkit" means... or what "Juno" means. The top middle button of the toolkit I downloaded just refers me to webpages with confusing instructions and a broken video link (found the video elsewhere). I don't know which toolkit button I'm supposed to push, and nothing tells me which one helps me get S-Off. So... This is where I'm stuck.
killerb777
I'm sure the correct info is at that link, but there's so much information... And it seems like everyone refers to the same things by different names? ... JuopunutBear? ControlBear? But I'm not sure? It just isn't written for people who don't understand this stuff...

Thanks for taking a few moments to help me out with this, everyone.

ON the toolkit...isn't there a "Run Juopunutbear V.6If....." in the left hand box? Run the one that corresponds to the firmware you have. You have GB so run the first one. Make sure you have read and know how to do the wire trick.
JuopunutBear is the name of the group that developed the s-off process...ControlBear is the name of the program file that is run to achieve it. Hansoons tool apparently downloads the programs you need to do everything. Follow the steps.
If you don't understand the terms bootloader, hboot, recovery..Read up on them here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1641670
Don't worry about flashing a new hboot, just keep the one you have when you're done.
Also, I found it helpful to have a computer that could read the SD card. Just in case you need to download something to it for you phone.
Thanks for the update... So here are the simple instructions I'm following now:
1. - 2. Root device.
3. Backup microSD.
4. Select "Run Juopunutbear v.6 If You Are On Gingerbread" in Hasoon2000's S-Off toolkit, then click Run
5. Use insulated wire to connect Pin 1 and GND for two seconds when cmd prompt says "Do wire-trick now!! Look instructions at web"
... So what happens next? Does my device reboot as usual? Do I have to re-unlock? Re-root? Re-install amon recovery? In other words... Did it change anything other than giving me S-Off and wiping the microSD card?

Getting there.
The wire trick..DON'T touch the contacts for 2 seconds. Touch them TWICE in 1.75 seconds. Example...touch..1.75s......touch.... Hold the wire firmly down in the hole to insure contact and just touch the gnd twice.
AFter, you do have to reinstall amon recovery...DON"T UNLOCK... no reason to. Again, it is a good backup to have a SD card reader available.
EDIT: If you want to be able to use fastboot commands after, then you do need to flash the Joupunut Hboot that is offered to you at the end of the process. I didn't. I just find flashable files for my needs.
I am an unfortunate rookie, and have made mistakes, hence the name. I want to return my phone to stock from htcdev unlock, s-on, hboot 1.5. with a boot loop on meanom ICS for the evo 3d. I have tried to use older ruu shooters. Relock with fastbot oem lock, and then pg86img. However with the bootloop I can not access anything unless I unlock again, and then go into recovery. This is all that I can think of at the moment that might help.
Kill the rookie!!! PLEASE HELP!!
I had much the same problem with my cdma, hboot 1.5, S-On shooter. When I was S-On none of the ICS roms would work. The all bootlooped on me. If you follow the rooting method found here on xda, it will get you back to a stock Rooted GB Rom.
go into hboot -> fastboot USB-> run command dos -> fastboot cwm-4.0.1.4-shooter.IMG -> flash the 2.17 firmware-> enjoy.
I had to S-off with Juopunutbear, then re-run that root/flash to get past the bootloops.

My only suggestion would be to try it a few times, other then that, its above my head.

Have you tried one of the ruu exe files that you run from your computer? If you are trying to go stock, you should be able to relock the bootloader and run the ruu and that's it.
Sent from my ICS 3VO with Tapatalk 2
First of all I want to thank everyone that has been attempting to assist me with my problem. I have tried to relock since I am on htcdev unlock and then run an ruu force via my computer. I get an installation aborted error when trying to flash pg86img via recovery. I don't know what else to say.
You can't flash a bootloader zip from recovery. You have to flash it from hboot. Also make sure the zip is named correctly "PG86IMG.zip" without the quotes. Also make sure the zip is on the root of your sd as in not in any folders. Once you've named the zip correctly and placed it correctly then power off the phone. Hold down the volume down button and tap the power button. You should boot into the bootloader wait until the phone recognizes the zip and follow the on screen instructions. Hopefully this helps.

Thank you again. I tried your directions, it did recognize the pg86img. However it did not give me any instructions to follow. It did however allow me to be able to a partial stock state. My software version is still on the teamgenesis sense v2.9 cdma. Although I do like some of the features on this rom, I would still like to be able to get the OTA of ICS when it is released. Any suggestions?

To get the ota release (if it ever comes ) I do believe you will need to be locked and running the existing gingerbread rom. While I am not positive, I think the system uses the props file to determine if an update is applicable, and it will likely not recognize the teamgenesis rom version as being upgradeable.
Now I will likely get flames for saying this, but if you want to put the meanrom v2.4 of ICS on the phone, it can be done with s-on, you just need to follow the correct process. I ran that rom for a while, and it is very stock like, stable, and has a few enhancements that you will not find on a non-rooted stock rom. I never found anything wrong or not working with that rom.
To get it to load, first I downloaded flashimagegui from market, put the meanrom zip file on the sd card and made sure I had a recovery that I could get into. I am using TWRP v2.1.1, lots of folks talk about others like ext4, and I am only going to say use whichever you like, after all it is your phone.
Then with the phone unlocked via the htc method, I started the flashimage app, and browsed to the meanrom file. It extracted the kernel and flashed it. Once that was done, with clear cache buttons selected, rebooted to recovery, and used the install menu selection of TWRP to again flash the same rom file. Once it flashed the file, selected clear cache and dalvik just to be safe, selected reboot system, and it worked great.
Have a great weekend.
So, apparently I am still doing something wrong. I have put the pg86img on the root, relocked to the bootloader, and let it run it's course. However, it will get through with reading it and stops and does not finish anything with loading the system information. I have also tried to run the ruu via usb connection. I keep running into a c++ issue saying runtime error. I have wiped everything and thankfully I did make a backup of the rom and other information that I was runing so I can currently fall back on that.
I am on hboot 1.5, 2.17, and teamgenesis ICS rom for evo 3d.
Apparently there have been rumors that Sprint has finally released the ICS OTA, not that it really matters anymore, but I have run into a few interesting glitches, such as WIFI not staying connected while asleep or disconnecting.
If I have to I am willing to pay to do a netmeeing with someone in order to be able to fix this.
Sorry if it sounds like I am getting frustrated, but I have tried every walkthrough that I have found and have not had any luck with any of them.
Please help.
I forgot to say I am s-on
ok so ill be honest. ive been out of the loop for a long time and have very little idea whats going on with android development and whatnot. im hoping someone can help me get to where i need to get. attached are screenshots of what firmware im on and and rom. i want to get onto cm9 and i have tried flashing it but it wouldnt boot. i think i have s-off and i dont know how to unlock it. (noob i know) any info helps and id really appreciate it. thanks
LWell, we know you are bootloader unlocked because you have a custom ROM installed. If you want CM9, and you are s-on, make sure you follow the instructions in the OP of that thread.
You can check your s-off status by shutting your phone off, pull battery, put battery back in, and press volume down and power until you see the white screen. Up in the top right it will say either s-on or s-off.

If you're s-off, there is no reason to unlock (aside from fastboot commands, but that seems trivial once you've achieved s-off). Also, looks like you're on GB firmware. If I was you, I'd RUU with the latest leak from AndroidPolice. If you're s-off, it's easy. Just re-flash amonra 3.15 after you run the ruu. You'll have the latest radios, as well as ICS. That's where to start; then it's very easy to flash a CM9 ROM.

i thought it had s-off but it is on and the top says unlocked. how can i changed it back to off? when trying to get on the RUU leak it wont work, ill try again tomorrow but maybe you know whats up
So you're S-On and locked, but you want to be S-Off? You need to run Jupunout-Bear if you just want to be unlocked go to HTC Dev. If you're unlocked your boot and radio partitions are still locked, but can be flashed via the fastboot command. If you're S-Off you can do it directly from the phone.
The wire trick for S-Off can be tricky to do perfectly, since you need to time it correctly which is 1.5 seconds. Someone made a metronome sound file but its a pain to start the process, play the sound file and then do the wire trick. I found out that the easiest way to do is it to just skip the file and use a rigid piece of wire and start with the ground pin depressed and then tap pin 1 twice since it's a lot harder to miss than by doing it vice versa, which I did multiple times. Also the words mississippi mississippi when said at a normal speed equal just about 1.5 seconds.

I am assuming you are trying to gain s-off correct? If that's the case perhaps I can offer you a different solution. With this solution you won't have to downgrade your hboot. Here's a link to this guide. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1743466
Now before you attempt it you must have the prerequisites met:
Unlocked via HTC Dev method
On stock ROM
Have superuser root
A PC windows or Linux
Insulated wire (speaker wire, or a paperclip wrapped with electrical tape is good enough)
Make sure HTC sync and or iTunes are uninstalled so they won't interfere
You will follow method D on the guide for those who are on 1.53
Follow the directions step by step. Make sure you download the appropriate control bear based on what os, phone, and computer you are using.
Make sure you know what contact areas you need to touch. This is the wire trick BTW.
When you have everything set up run the exe file and when it prompts you. Touch both contacts at the same time.
It might take a few tries but it should work.

OK once you get the file. Remember to relock your boot loader first before flashing your ruu.
1. Power down you phone and put it in fast boot
2. Make sure USB debugging is enabled
3. Hook your phone up to your PC
4. Run cmd and type fastboot oem lock.
5. If the file is an exe you can run it on your PC after relocking.
6. If not place it on root of sdcard and rename it too PG86IMG in all caps
7. Boot into boot loader and let your phone pick up the update
8. Start and let the update finish
9. Unlock bootloader again
10. Flash recovery
11. Flash super user
Presto!! Now your ready to run wire trick. Good luck.

Nope. Its not necessary anymore. You've been set free kinda like the matrix lol. You can upgrade and downgrade your hboot with no hassles. Flash any gsm evo 3d rom you want. With the exception of cool sense you can be whatever hboot you want and on any sense or aosp ROM you want. Just remember to be on 1.49 to flash aosp roms.
Please don't forget to abuse my thank you button. I'm glad you got s-off. Happy flashing sir.
Edit: viper 3d is the only ROM I know that can be on any hboot. However I am not sure about the other ROMs. I'm CDMA so have no clue about gsm roms. I would make sure to know what hboots are compatible with whatever ROM your interested in before flashing. Sorry about yje confusion.
You should be ok to flash any rom in the gsm threads without any issues with hboot 1.49, I'm gsm with hboot 1.49, unlocked through revolutionary and s-off, I have yet to find a rom that will not boot ics 3.6,ics 4,ics 4.1, and jb
(Don't ask me for help as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh!
I basically have no idea on how to update my phone to the new icecream sandwich, can someone help me? I have very little experience on all this rooting and stuff but I learn very fast (I did my own flash and rooting) so I might need to be baby talk with instructions lol. I have s-on hboot1.5 and "Revolutionary CWM" when I click on recovery (I dont know if that helps) if you need more info let me know. thanks for all your help.
I'd be glad to help. But first let's clear up a couple things. You are on boost Mobile correct? The thing is since your on boost I don't believe its possible to obtain a ota update through their network because your phone was originally on sprint and the ICS ota ran through their network and I don't believe boost has that ota through their network. The second thing is that cwm recovery has so many issues with the evo 3d so having 4ext recovery is highly recommended. Now with that said, you will more than likely will have to flash a ruu or the firmware to get your phone on ICS. Either way, you will have to reflash boost back onto your phone once you upgraded your phone to ICS. Here is a step by step guide on how to do that.
Since your S-on I would flash the ruu. Heres what you do.
Make sure your bootloader is locked or relocked
If not make sure is USB debugging is enabled on your phone.
Hook your phone up to your pc in fastboot mode.
Run cmd and navigate to your fastboot folder
Type fastboot oem lock
That should put your bootloader relocked.
Download the ruu file for sprint ICS
Here's the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30691080
Put the file anywhere on your computer
Run the file with your phone hooked up to your PC
Once it finishes updating you will be on ics stock
Now I highly recommended gaining s-off before you attempt to flash boost back onto your phone.
Here's a guide that will help you with that

Once you gain s-off you should be good to go.
thanks for the info!
No problem
