I am having issues trying to either factory reset or update to ICS. I am still running 2.3.4, when I try to factory reset via the bootloader, nothing happens, I keep getting pushed back to the menu screen. And when I try to update to ICS, via the OTA, it stops on the recovery menu and doesnt reboot. I have relocked, and tried different methods, from which I could find on forums, and still nothing works.
I have tried to manually install the RUU via the SDcard, in the bootloader, after it checks the zip image, it takes me back to the menu screen also. I have tried to flash via the CMD, and I get FAILED: ( remote 12 signature verify fail). I need some help.
Let me know what you need to help diagnose my issue.
Thanks in advance!
try flashing the global ruu, its got the newest radios and hboot. u can find it over at android police. com. download it, rename it PH98IMG.zip if u r using a windows based computer rename it PH98IMG, put it on the root of your sd card and try flashing.

Ya, I tried that, and thats where im getting stuck. on the bootloader screen, it show the loading bar in the top right, after the loads, its says checking, after that fully loads, it takes me back to the menu and doesnt do anything from there.
You have to run the RUU twice in hboot.

I unlock and tried the RUU, Twice. No luck, I cant find a stock ROM anywhere, i have searched, I found one link, but when you go there, it says all the old ROM have been removed from the site. Help on finding one.
I tried to flash the RUU from the recovery, but when it starts, it finds the update package, opens update package, then aborts. Its says E: can't open /sdcard/PH98IMG.zip (bad)

Gotta be flashed in bootloader. Maybe your ph98img.zip is a zip inside a zip. Rename it to just ph98img and try that

Ok good. Let me make sure I am on the same page as you. Your device is charged to atleast 80%. You have the RUU downloaded and placed on the root of your sd card, NOT internal sd. You have it named PH98IMG with the extension as .zip, so it looks like PH98IMG.zip
Now, remember how I asked you to flash the RUU in HBOOT twice. I did not mean recovery. HBOOT is the white screen you come to first as you are booting into recovery though. What you have to do is power the device completely down. Pull the battery to be sure. Next, put the battery back in and power up while holding power and volume down at the same time. The device will boot into HBOOT. From there your device will commence to scan for update packages, ie; the PH98IMG.zip. Once the device has found the package it will prompt you to either update or reboot. Of course go with the update choice. Now, the device will appear to run through some menus and such, it may even black out a couple times, but in the end it will go right back into HBOOT. When it does, IMMEDIATELY proceed to update again. It will again go through some menu commands and such but it will do it considerably slower. the screen may black out a couple times but again in the end it should end back in the HBOOT menu. When it has went back into HBOOT, reboot your device and all should be good.

Ok, Yes to everything in your first paragraph. But, when I power down and restart into HBOOT, it goes to the menu where it says FASTBOOT USB, and nothing happens, so I select BOOTLOADER, and it does the following:
SD Checking...
Loading...[PH98DIAG.zip]
No image!
Loading...[PH98DIAG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Loading...[PH98IMG.zip]
the blue loading bar loads in the top right
After that completes, it says:
Checking...[PH98IMG.zip]
the red loading bar loads.
When it completes it takes me back to the menu screen, and nothing happens.
OK, hold on, it is now doing the update. Weird, it has never progressed passed this point.
EDIT#1: ??? its working with a red bar? lol
EDIT#2: I don't like it having a red bar. It shouldn't have a red bar. I'd prefer you do the below first.
A red bar you say? You just solved your own problem. Redownload the RUU and verify the MD5 sum before you rename it. Rename it to PH98IMG.zip, check the md5 sum, yes it will be different this time. Then move it to your sd card. Verify the MD5 sum with your last MD5 sum check. Let us know how it goes

So I was rooted with ViperRom. When the update came out, I decided I was just gonna go stock so I downloaded Sprint RUU EXE which took my phone back to stock and removed clockwork recovery.
Now, when I'm in HBOOT, it still says S-OFF but I'm running the 2.3.3 stock rom with no root. I've tried going to Settings->Software update but it keeps saying no update available even though I got the OTA notifications before when I was on Viper. I have the 45MB update file on my SD card and I was wondering if there's a way to get the phone to use the downloaded file and update itself.
Thanks!

Not sure how to do that, because I never play with ota. But I can tell you that you're still going to be s off. If you want s on, you need to do 'fastboot oem writesecureflag3' or something like that. Search the dev section for the s on thread and check for sure.

No I don't care at this point. I just want stock everything so then in a few months when I get bored, I can play with all the things root has to offer.

Yes I did. I'm trying again. I booted into the bootloader through the "adb reboot bootloader" command. Clicked the "power" button on "bootloader option. It goes through a "loading pg86img.zip" phase with a blue vertical progress bar on the right side and then to a "checking pg86img.zip" phase with a yellow vertical progress bar on the right. Then it just comes back to the Hboot screen and stays there...

I bought the Amaze recently. I didn't like the battery life, so I looked for a remedy from the internet.
My search led me here. I found people changed kernels, disabled bloatware, and controlled CPU speeds. That all sounded great. I found newb-proof articles and tools for GB. [Caution: I'm am fresh off the newb canoe, now entering the Android rapids.]
I tried a few ROMs here. I enjoyed my experience with GB, but ICS was hyped to be so much better.
Once I tried to go to ICS, I found all of the guides didn't work for me.
I have read about a dozen articles here on how to do this process.
The last process I tried to move to ICS from rooted GB goes as follows:
Reset to factory, through bootloader (no backup; is that a problem?)
Put latest OTA file from Football to ext sd directory (not external card, only directory name)
Flash stock recovery
Relock boatloader
Reboot to recovery after taking battery out (to prevent security warning; would that matter?)
See a green refresh symbol then a red triangle (an apparent error)
I am not sure how to do this any better.
The next steps I would take are to unlock (thanks hassoon2000), flash twrp, wipe all cache, install NRG, use either TB or 4ext (suggestions welcome for any other backup program), get go launcher set (suggestions welcome for alternatives), then eat up the fancy sandwich.
If I missed that one post or one detail that you know of, then all the thanks button pushes go to you for your help.

Rename ICS ruu from football to "PH85IMG" (u did NOT mention that u did this step) and put the .zip file on the root of your sd. Boot into "relocked" bootloader and push power button to select "bootloader" option.

1. Download the stock ruu from here
2. Lock your bootloader by using the fastboot command "fastboot oem lock"
3. Reboot to system
4. Flash the stock RUU you downloaded by placing it in the root of your external sd card and renaming it PH85IMG.zip and rebooting to bootloader.
5. Once you have the stock rom reinstalled, set the security lock by using fastboot command " fastboot oem writesecureflag 3

I followed the directions in the link in your sig as closely as I can.
I found I can't reboot into system after relocking the bootloader. I assume that's not expected.
Also, to flash the ruu, I need to boot into bootloader, then select recovery to flash. (the recovery leads to a screen that shows a green sync symbol that turns to a red triangle symbol)
Is that last step inferred?
I don't know if this will help, but I was in a similar situation and could not upgrade to ICS. I had clockworkmod and that seemed to be the issue. I had already restored a previous backup but could not flash a stock ruu. It would load and then return to the hboot menu without ever giving the option to install. The fix was to use hasoon's all in one tool to flash the stock recovery. That's all I did. After that the OTA update installed fine. I never relocked the bootloader.
I tried that out, too.
I have the same problem when my phone is relocked with stock or custom recovery. It never boots into system, only fastboot.
I tried it unlocked. It seemed to ast longer on the green refresh symbol, but still went to the red triangle.
The only difference here is that I don't have a backup to restore to like you did.

Which stock ruu are you trying to install? If it's a stock GB or one of the ICS leaks, rename the file PH85IMG and reboot into bootloader, if it takes you to fastboot volume down to select bootloader and hit power, if it's the stock ICS OTA file, then read my tutorial how to use it on stock recovery.
I used the 2.14.531.3 file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1617644&highlight=ics+ota.
[I'll download it again, in case I had a bad download.]
I believe that is the latest OTA file for ICS.
Is the 1.43.531.3 the GB OTA or the ICS RUU?
I followed what you said:
flash stock recovery
relock phone (fastboot oem lock)
flash rom update in bootloader (rename ruu to ph85img.zip, place on sd card and boot to bootloader)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I do not have a separate mSD card (I have one on order), I used the phone's internal memory.
The other difference I see is I named it PH85IMG.zip.
I downloaded the 2.14.531.3 file again.
Named it ph85img.zip. Put it on the root of the internal memory.
Flashed stock recovery.
Relocked the bootloader.
Took the battery out to remove the security warning found on the bootloader after relocking.
Rebooted to bootloader (vol down + power button).
Selected bootloader, then recovery.
Green refresh symbol then red triangle.
Now it boots only into bootloader.
I am going to unlock then stay in my GB house for now.
[edit] I do not want to S-OFF as of right now, but I'm considering it more so than ever.
You didn't actually add the ".zip" did you? Because that's just the file extension and is already there. Rename to PH85IMG

That started me off in the right direction; details below. Huge thanks to all those that participated here and to NRG and hassoon2000!
DETAILS:
I got the AIO 3.2 tool (had 3.0). Flashed 4ext. Did a Nandroid, system, data and boot.img backup (why not choose all of them?); copied the files to my netbook. Got a 4gb (32 gb in the mail) msd card loaded with ph85img.zip (latest 4.0 RUU for TMo file)and put it in the card.
Used the "boot to bootloader" command. Selected the recovery option.
The phone did what everyone else talked about: the phone went through the update process. Never happened until now.
I didn't lay a brick! Wow, what a relief.
I couldn't find my TiBackup, but there wasn't much on my phone.
Now my NRG'd phone is all set.
I tried to flash MIUI onto my phone and now I can no longer boot my phone. I was using CM recovery and now I cant get it to open. When I select recovery it opens for a second and then it tries to boot but gets stuck on the HTC screen. The only thing I can get to work is Fastboot.

Well technically we misuse the term ruu, since it's actually a exe you run on your computer.
What people usually mean by ruu is a zip that has official, stock HTC everything.
Rom, recovery, hboot, radio etc

Before you flash, you should know that if the RUU file you are using is not a rooted one, you may loose root by flashing it to your phone.There are rooted RUUs on XDA and I hope you are using one of them.
Now if you have downloaded the RUU file to your computer
1.Rename it as PH98IMG and put it on your SD card.
2. power off your phone (preferably by removing the battery and putting it back).
3. restart your phone by holding down volume down and the power button. Your phone will reboot to bootloader. The bootloader should automatically load the file you rename PH98IMG and ask you if you want to install the update.
4. Press volume up for YES. Bootloader will install the file. Follow the instructions to finish.

Well the top line in your bootloader should say something along the line of Unlocked or Tampered if it doesn't then you need to use HTC Unlock tool and unlock your bootloader again. If its locked you can't do anything. Check that out.

Have you checked to make sure the proper driver is installed? Are you using windows?
So while trying to update to ICS my fingers were working faster than my brain (yes, it happens) and I selected a menu option while using Clockwork and, while I'm not sure, I think the option said something like, "format .. OS...something..." before I could fully read it (and stop my finger from pressing the power button), I pressed the power button.
The phone rebooted, got to the white HTC screen and stopped - stuck on the white HTC screen. I pulled the battery.
I Held down power and up-volume and got to the bootloader menu, selected recovery and Clockwork came up.
Couldn't "Recover" because it couldn't mount the SD card.
Couldn't mount the external SD card either.
Ok - tried a factory reset - Rebooted - up came the white HTC screen where it stays until I pull the battery.
I'm new at this (probably didn't need to say that, but...).
How Do I get past this point?
Is this phone agonner?
How do I load (anything) to the phone at this point?
Thanks in advance! I appreciate it.

If it powers on, you're not bricked.
Are s-on or s-off?
Make sure you have a card reader for the following.
The best thing for you to do would probably to flash an RUU.
First, download the latest RUU.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ull-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/
If you are s-on with unlocked boot loader, relock it:
Make sure there is no PH98IMG.ZIP on your sdcard. Delete if there is one.
Power off phone completely with battery pull.
Plug in phone to computer with USB.
Go to the bootloader menu with vol down + power.
Select fastboot.
On your computer, run the following fastboot command (do whatever you needed to do to use fastboot):
fastboot oem lock
After that is done, time to install the RUU.
Find the RUU you downloaded and put it on your sdcard, then rename to PH98IMG.ZIP
Put sdcard back, then power on to bootloader.
It should now scan for the PH98IMG and then ask you to install it.
Follow all the instructions to install it.
After you finish this, you will be back to the stock ROM with a locked boot loader.

THANK YOU for your help, I really appreciate your response. I followed your instructions and once the PH98IMG.zip file was on the SD card I loaded bootloader and it did scan for the file, but said "no file or wrong file!" Well, the file is there so I know its not "no" file. I've tried a couple of different PH98IMG files that I found on XDA but I guess the specific file wasn't the problem.
After it gives the error message it simple goes back to the bootloader and waits.
Unlocking the bootloader and then following your instructions did result in the file being seen and, what appeared to be, the installation process beginning - however when the phone reboots for the first time it just goes quiet and never comes back up. I waited for at least 20 minutes before I decided it wasn't just a long boot process.
I"m pretty sure there is NOTHING on this phone. I've verified there's nothing on the SD card besides the PH98IMG.zip file. Assuming I've completely wiped out the OS (and it is not on the phone) is the method you've outlined the right starting point?
Thanks again, and Merry Christmas

If you are S-on and have an unlocked bootloader, you will need to relock it before attempting to flash an ruu. Once re-locked, ensure that the PH98IMG is not a zip file within a zip file which is how they are usually uploaded. Attempt to unzip the files until it will not unzip anymore. That file that won't unzip needs to be the one you rename as PH98IMG and placed on the root of your SD card. Reboot to bootloader and allow it to scan. It will ask you if you wish to proceed and you will allow it. After some time it will reboot back to bootloader to flash radios and the rest of firmware. After that process and a 2nd reboot you should he back to stock, locked, and unrooted.

Also, it could be possible that your phone can't recognize the sd card so it needs to be formatted.

zip file contents?
Maybe I should ask what the contents of the .zip file should be? I did check the zip to make sure it wasn't a double-zip. There were two versions of the PH98IMG file i tried. One had the file (imagemate-3.60.exe) the other had the file(s) (boot.img and android-info.txt).
I did "relock" the bootloader prior to trying and it would not recognize the file. When it was unlocked it would see it, start the install process, then go quiet. So that at least tells us that the file is there and likely workable.
I can't seem to get past the "No image or wrong image" message. I've tried on 3 different cards (the original and two fresh cards) and I've checked to ensure the zip is not a zip within a zip.

You should download that file from Android Police. It should have a 'bunch' of files in it. I"m not familiar with imagemate-3.60.exe but boot.img is just the kernel. Rename the file that you download to PH98img, (as previously stated) put it on a good SD card and boot into bootloader. It should go.
How about telling us if you are s-on or s-off. I don't see where you've answered that question. Also, if it doesn't work, tell us what your bootloader screen says. That will give us some info to help you.
Merry Christmas....I've got to go to bed before Santa shows up. :laugh::laugh:
EDIT: I just downloaded the Android Police file and as I said, it has a lot of files in it. I'm not sure what you were playing with but i likely the cause of you problem. Get the right file, name it ph98img.zip, put on root of SD, boot into bootloader (you're locked, right) and let it do its thing. good luck.

One thing you need to know is that a PH98IMG file can be many things. It is only the name of a file that your phone looks for to use when booted into hboot. So it can be a kernel, an entire RUU (OS), a custom recovery or ROM... basically anything. It just means that item was packed into a PH98IMG file in order to run automatically off your SD card when the phone boots.
So you need to know what the PH98IMG file is that you are using or you might flash something you don't want that can possibly cause your phone to not work properly. In your examples above one is a kernel (boot.img) and I have no idea what imagemate-3.60.exe is. It sounds like you have not had the correct file.
Here is the global RUU you should run to get you back to stock with all the latest radios and firmware:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ull-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/
You need to be locked to run it so if you are S-ON, which it sounds like you are (don't remember if you mentioned that before), you need to use fastboot from your pc to do that, just like you did when you unlocked it with this command:
fastboot oem lock
***If you are S-OFF you should be locked again from that process already. But if you are S-OFF then confirm with someone to be sure it's safe to run the RUU, there's something about not relocking if you are on a certain hboot or you can brick it or something...***
Then put the RUU on your SD card and reboot the phone. Let it run through the RUU a few times because apparently it needs to do it a few times to get all the system files. Afterwards, if you want to root again and flash a custom ROM you will need to unlock again and flash a custom recovery and reroot.
It Works!
Not that I'm going to give you all the credit, because everyone kinda chipped in - however you DID provide the ONLY correct link to exactly what I needed! LORDY there are a lot of bad links being passed around. THANK YOU Ms. Feralicious, I totally appreciate your help.
... Everyone else as well - very generous with your knowledge and time and I will always love you.

You still needing help?
Where did you get the PH...img file you are using? Are you sure it's an RUU?
Did you ever try resetting to factory settings within the phone? You don't need to RUU for that, check a few posts up on where to find the setting.
Hi,
I see a few people have run into the endless white HTC boot screen problem and it seems the fix is to just run the RUU again - this isn't working for me. I came from 100% stock with the latest OTA and everything. I've applied the RUU more than 10 times at this point from different computers, it's always successful and the most frustrating part is that the RUU can read the proper version from my phone (it says "upgrade from 4.13.651.3 to 4.13.651.3").
I also tried to go back to 3.15.651.16 with the RUU, but it stops with an hboot incompatible error.
Any ideas?
Have you tried just rebooting phone when it gets stuck, I've had a few roms stick on splash and after a minute or so I just force a reboot. I know it sounds odd but that's what I've always done rather then reflash the rom and after a reboot or 2 it comes up. You can also try holding volume down on the splash, it forces the rom to boot in safe mode.
Sorry I thought you mean after ruu instead of during. You can try reinstalling htc drivers and connecting it in fastboot first, it will force windows to install the drivers that might otherwise not install. Also viperuu has been said to work with the new hboot.

Have you tried running the update files as PJ75IMG.zip files from an external SD card? It'll require running the RUU .exe file until it opens to the first screen with the device icon on it. Then navigating to your OS temp folder (usually by clicking "Run" and typing %TEMP% to open the folder). Then you find the newest folder and inside one of them will be some rom_01 and rom_02 zip files. Those are what you need. Those can be renamed to PJ75IMG.zip, placed on external SD card and flashed through HBOOT. Hopefully doing them that way will get them to apply correctly.
Thanks for the replies, I appreciate the help!

I got the files, but sorry, I'm a little unsure of which one to rename to PJ75IMG.zip or what order to flash them in.
I also spoke with HTC support for a while, but that didn't really help other than them promising that the "Special Projects" team would call me in the next 7-10 days...
I was perfectly fine with it wiping my data as 99% of it is in the cloud anyway, but I certainly didn't expect the official update to put my phone into this state.

They are numbered, aren't they? Do 01 first, then 02. They will both get flashed the exact same way.
Thanks! I was not aware of that trick. Doing that led me down the path of seeing one of the images was corrupt. From there I did what I should have started with, I downloaded the RUU from HTC again. I got a file with the same byte size but a different MD5 signature. This file took much longer to run and successfully updated my phone!
The winning MD5 for those keeping track at home was: c6ac16fcdd39818f43158329ebdad957
Shame on me for not trying this as one of the first items, but shame on HTC for not validating their own images before pushing the update to the phone.

Well at least you got it to run...lol I have the same MD5 and it wont run past the first screen. All other RUU's i have on my pc run just fine so im at a loss.
OK, I just followed links thru 3 diff of capns threads. Isn't there still a way to change partitions (properly) just doing it as a PJ75 zip, or is PC now required? As my access to one is limited and sketchy. Sorry for not keeping up better, been trying to maintain 3 devices, work full time and parent. And keep up with game of thrones. Lol. Either way, my apologies for not being as current as I usually am, and thanks yo any who respond.

If you have both files, why would you need to run the RUU at all, for starting purposes? Couldn't you just run both PJ75 zips and have nothing to do with .exe/PC?
And what should flash first, the ROM or FW (and yes, I know, capn, they're numbered,...that's NOT the answer I'm looking for, I'm trying to find answer that actually means something, as I'm trying to make sure I understand this process.)

The purpose of running the RUU.exe is to extract the zip files. If you already have them, then you are correct, you have no need of running it.
I thought this was explained in my thread that has the firmware update, but maybe it isn't. The first zip is just the firmware which repartitions the device for the new layout, and the second zip is the actual ROM. The first zip and my firmware zip are essentially the same. That's why I have it listed as being required in order to flash the new format ROM.

Been awhile with this device. Sold it via Swappa. Customer cannot connect to Sprint network. Found that after she tries activating it she'd needs to reflash the RUU via a bunch of reading. She doesn't have a Win PC. So, this is my option I guess. So after pulling the 2 ROM files via the RUU, rename the 01 file to PJ75IMG.zip, placed on external SD card and flash through HBOOT....what is the process exactly in hboot? I don't remember. Thought you booted to hboot and it automatically finds and flashes? Then....do you power down/reboot/can you access sd remotely while in hboot to rename 02 file to PJ75IMG.zip, and flash? Thanks for any input. It's hard cause I don't have the device.

So after pulling the 2 ROM files via the RUU, rename the 01 file to PJ75IMG.zip, placed on external SD card and flash through HBOOT....what is the process exactly in hboot? I don't remember. Thought you booted to hboot and it automatically finds and flashes? Then....do you power down/reboot/can you access sd remotely while in hboot to rename 02 file to PJ75IMG.zip, and flash? Thanks for any input. It's hard cause I don't have the device.

Once the phone gets to HBOOT, you have to press one of the Volume buttons to confirm the flash. Once the flash of the first zip is complete (and while the phone is still in HBOOT), you'll need to pop out the SD card and rename the second zip, replacing the first zip on the root of the SD card, and pop it back in (while still in HBOOT). Then press whatever volume key it says to reboot, while holding Volume Down, to get back into HBOOT to flash the second zip. Once that flash completes, you can press whatever volume key reboots the device and it should be back to full stock.
