See (1) refered link above to review ROM and steps.
1. Skipped step one - updating firmware -- not a n00b, just made the critical forgot to check the plug rule. /facepalm
2. Executed superwipe from OP
3. Moved the rom over
4. loaded rom
5. re-boot - BOOTLOOP
6. PANIC
7. crush 4ext and adb a recover (CWM)
8. go no where, but phone all wiped
9. after 4 hours sleep
10. located 4ext recovery and adb'd and now have 4 ext recovery back
CURRENT STATE -
Phone accessible in Bootloader or using $EXT recovery.
I have tried many of the varied options using many XDA and other resources. I am hitting my head against a wall as I am not isolating the exact problem and finding a clear route to resolve. I am not a n00b but made a n00b mistake and suffering miserably (wel all need reminders i spose).
I have a img file that is reviewed via the bootloader but it does not accept it. I need to identify a rom that allows me to get this device operable before i suffer the wrath of my loving wife. (naw she's pissed :laugh: ).
I am looking for ideas and simple assistance. When the bootloader first presents the following messages are seen before it fails on the img it processes:
SD Checking
Loading [P86DIAG.zip]
no image!
Loading [PG86DIAG.nbh]
No Image or wrong image!
loading PG86IMG.zip
---my voice it refreshes quickly reshows above with a No image! error I think---
So what I imagine is as follows:
in my panic, i inadvertently deleted all required base .img files in order for the device to boot into ANDROID. So, to that end, what would be the best way to get me back to an operable device, please note, all resources I have chased in the past 10 hours on this have led me to links that are dead or sites that have or are dealing with cease and desist requests.
Please, excuse my post if this is deemed inappropriate, delete/close the thread and PM me if you must, I have not participated much in XDA trying to respect rules etc, but this HTC device is kicking my trash.
Thanks in advance, I can provide more specifics as requested and I will monitor this thread as I need to resolve this today Also, chasing the threads offered as suggested threads through the review post feature, this is a nifty tool...kudos to the mods....
You are S-ON and rooted but probably don't have a bootable kernel installed so 4EXT SmartFlash isn't going to work. Try booting into recovery using the following fastboot command:
fastboot boot recovery.img (where "recovery.img" is the name of your 4EXT file)

After recovery boots, make sure the SmartFlash (S-ON) option is disabled in the tools menu of 4EXT then try flashing a ROM again.

IS there a clean version of - 4EXT_Recovery_Touch_v1.0.0.5_RC7.zip already in PG86IMG.img format? I think I am already at that stage ramjet, but going through the motions now. Thanks for the reminder. Will report shortly. Thanks!
Edit: I get 4EXT loaded - receive unconfirmed use 4ext to set me up message. -- just stepping through...next is to try to fastboot or recovery a rom in.
Now when I try 4EXT load using sdcard:
Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_2.17.651.5_odex.zip
I get e: Can't open sdcard/**name of file**

Installation aborted.
Any solid suggestions? --sorry I have been madly humbled the last 2-3 days on this one.....i appreciate the assistance.....

If you can get into 4EXT to flash a ROM you don't need to install it again.
Your SD card may be corrupted and you should try backing it up to a PC, formatting it and restoring the backup. You also need to make sure that the MD5 for the copy of the zip file on the SD card matches the file that is on your PC because you may have a bad or intermittent USB cable that is causing your SD card and the files on it to get corrupted.

I agree...I am switching usb cables now....i reformatted sdcard yesterday to a clean fat32 only card (16gb) in case the MD5's were happening here. didn't think to exchange usb cables, doing now....
OK....
interesting problem outcome --
I just tried the following and it failed:
C:\rootevo3dnew>fastboot boot Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_2.17.651.5_odex.zip
creating boot image...
creating boot image - 401399808 bytes

OKAY [ 53.410s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: reproduce boot image with on-flash ramdisk error)
finished. total time: 53.530s
C:\rootevo3dnew>
so my next steps are as follows:
1. exchange usb cables
A. - redo -- fastboot boot recovery.img (where "recovery.img" is the name of your 4EXT file)
2. re-download ROM - would love a suggestion of a working ROM --http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1641115 -- using the Last episode
MD5 Sum: 82f821e8f2b426d576f686b3ae8bd005
3. check Md5's using 4EXT after load
4. reload using 4EXT tool
5. report success/failure/outcome

You can't boot the ROM zip file with fastboot. You need to boot the recovery file as I indicated in my prior post, make sure the SmartFlash option is off in the tools menu of 4EXT, format all partitions except SD card from the wipe/format menu, and then flash the ROM zip file from 4EXT.
Take your time and follow the directions carefully and you should be able to get it to boot.

UPDATE:
Switched SDCARDS-
Flashing currently using TheLastEpisode.zip.
Flash took, however gets into splash screen animation on the rom -- then reboots, seems like a bootloop. in the bootloader the no image! errors still present.
Ideas? I am flashing another rom now to see if problem deplicates with another rom. I know I am now close

Did you follow all the steps in my last post?
It's essential that you boot recovery from fastboot, disable SmartFlash/S-ON in 4EXT and "format all partitions except SD card" before flashing a ROM since your are S-ON and don't have a bootable kernel.

i am going back and re-doing process now. Will see if I can follow directions.....

Ok, I was trying to flash the newest ICS leak and being the newb I am, its borked.
Right now I have an unlocked bootloader with H-Boot 2.11.0000
I have a blank SD card and I just need to know what files to copy to it and what steps to get back to stock or possibly getting the 5/8 ROM leak installed
I'm assuming your s-on still, follow the directions in the OP to install.
Installation for S-ON Devices on Gingerbread firmware
* Copy ROM to SD Card AND PH98IMG.zip AND GB Firmware Patch to ROOT of SD Card
* Reboot to recovery
* wipe data / Factory Reset
* Flash ROM
* Flash GB Fimrware Patch
* Use Developer Menu to reboot to bootloader and flash the boot.img file in the PH98IMG.zip
* Reboot
* Profit!
How exactly do you FLASH the rom without renaming it?

Take out your sd card, then go to recovery, wipe. Pop your battery out put your sd card back in, then continue.

1) Easiest thing for you is to turn USB Debugging on in Settings (Apps > Development), hook up to PC, and use the Hasoon2000 Noob-proof toolkit to reboot directly to recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22696442
2)Many Custom ROMs have Reboot to Recovery in the power button menu
3)Ninja grab the battery at an angle and slide SD Card out, go to recovery, and slide in while mainitaining power connection. (Not ah, recommended but good in a bind)

You need to first flash a custom recovery and then select that option (AmonRa 3.15 recommended, CWM is buggy on charging battery). That Hasoon2000 kit in last post can do that for you too if you don't have AmonRa installed.

That seems to be the biggest issue, can I flash a recovery without being able to boot my phone up... I only have access to the bootloader.
All the instructions fail to mention the requirement for the recovery app... That was the newb boo-boo.
I think there is a zip somewhere, but it's easier with adb.
fastboot flash recovery (name of recovery).img
I recommend S-Off. It makes all of this super easy. I promise its really not that hard. The wire trick looks worse than it is.
Edit: fixed. I'm retarded in the morning.

Yeah, manually you can flash a custom recovery via the same method, a PH98IMG.zip from bootloader. You delete the existing PH98IMG file and replace with one containing AmonRa (what exactly is that zip, do you need it still?)
But, adb fastboot commands when hooked up to PC can flash the recovery directly to memory from an img file. Just need USB Debugging turned on in the Settings on a regular boot to the ROM.
Sooo just use the toolkit on a PC to eliminate hassle if ya can lol. It uses that second paragraph's method. Just need to click an option and it runs the script. Now ya know both ways.
Oh, link in earlier post from my XDA app is not working :/ here is the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22696442
I guess until I find the zip and instructions I have a brick.

Ah, I meant the ROM, but not even the ROM boots because of bad flash. No worries. Don't need to be in the ROM anyway, toolkit works in the bootloader.
1) Ensure drivers for phone are properly installed on PC. (Google and download HTC Sync if unsure.)
2) Download and extract toolkit. Run the All In One exe file. The GUI comes up with your options.
3) With phone off, remove SD Card.
4) Boot into bootloader. Select Fastboot option.
5) Connect to PC via USB.
6) Select AmonRa from toolkit options and install.
7) Power down phone, disconnect and insert SD Card.
8) Connect phone, power it up and select Reboot to Recovery on the toolkit.
From recovery, you can enable USB mass storage option for memory and download/transfer files you need from your PC, delete the PH98IMG.zip, etc.

Several user reports in the forum say ClockworkMod (CWM) has an issue with charging our batteries when the drain gets low. Risk not being able to charge phone at all and brick that way. AmonRa or TWRP from the Development section are still recommended for this particular phone for now.
Hope you get sorted out on the ROM
Sounds like you're getting instructions to do more than you asked.
Go to post three on the following page and scroll down to "Latest leak and installation instructions".
Make sure it flashes twice. I just did this procedure this afternoon without any trouble.

Yes, just install the new recovery normally, will be okay.
I guess I did end up installing AMON recovery, I just checked. Creating Nandroid right now....
Does a Nandroid basically recover EVERYTHING?
I’m extremely new to the Android community and I did do a lot of reading on how to unlock, install a recovery, and install ICS on my HTC Rezound. The problem I’m having is that I found an ICS ROM to install. I downloaded it, renamed it PH98IMG.zip, installed it onto my SD card through Clockworkmod Recovery, I then tried rebooting into the bootloader to get the zip file installed, but this is what happens in bootloader:
SD Checking…
Loading…[PH98DIAG.zip]
No image!
Loading…[ph98diag.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Loading…[ph98img.zip]
And there’s a vertical progress bar on the right side of the screen that fills up, but then nothing happens after that. It goes back into the bootloader screen. Now my phone won’t startup at all, I get stuck at the HTC white startup screen. I can get into bootloader and Clockworkmod recovery, but nothing else works.
If anybody can please help me with step by step instructions I would really really really appreciate it. Thanks.
I should also mention that I followed a YouTube video on how to install ICS on my Rezound (I can't post a link of the video b/c XDA website won't let me).
The video had me unlock the bootloader, install CWM recovery, and install something called Ineffabilis-Deus-v1.0.1-Odex.zip. Everything up to this point worked just like the video (which is point 3:30 on the video). After that, nothing else worked.
I've ended up formatting the SD card from CWM recovery so now there's nothing on the SD card. Not even the PH98IMG.zip file. PLEASE PLEASE HELP!
If you still have ADB set up after you unlocked, here's whatchya do.
1. Unzip the P98 file.
2. Move the boot.img into your ADB directory.
3. Plug your phone into your computer.
4. Run CMD as administrator and type in the following commands
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Should work just fine after that. :good:
And I really hope you are at least using the modded CWM recovery from this post and elsewhere, you'll have issues if your phone fully drains otherwise:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27517554
Worry about reflashing recovery on its own after you get the ROM up and running, just be sure you keep the phone charged. And consider AmonRa or TWRP recovery.

My Rezound has the exact same screen when going to the bootloader. I tried so very hard to avoid this but it must be done, I have to ask for help. I have no idea how to fix this phone. When trying to boot it gets all the way to the 4GLTE screen and stops, forever.
This phone is rooted with an unlocked bootloader, S-On, using Hasoon2000's AIO. It was working fine up until I did something stupid and loaded Motioncoding's Beats audio installer. (In case you're wondering I did this in an attempt to have the Beat's audio function while using Pandora, unfortunately this stopped the stock music player from functioning with headphones, I'm and idiot, I know...)
The problem occurred once I tried to uninstall the beat's audio installer using Root Browser Lite and deleting the system files they specified in the instructions. Apparently I deleted one to many and upon restart this is where I ended up. I have tried numerous fixes but the problem I keep running into is I cannot get access to Android via a USB connection on my PC. I still have access to the bootloader and to Clockworkmod Recovery but that is it. If someone can explain to me how to fix this it would really make me feel better and I promise I will never try to do something this stupid again. Thanks.

Did you create a nandroid backup as recommended before trying any new mods? If not, reflash your rom in recovery/boot.img in fastboot, with only a system wipe. If so, restore your nandroid, if you don't boot then reflash a proper boot.img in fastboot.
Yeap snuzzo is spot on. I just wanted to add that it's not a big problem at all, not even something to stress about. We will help you get it fixed up. If you have the vertical loading var, there's a PH98IMG.zip file on the external sd card that you need to delete.
Since it was mentioned in the quote, make sure you aren't running the official clockwork mod recovery. Either run amon ra or fly halfs custom clockwork mod

Yes I can get into recovery without a problem. I just can't figure out what rom to flash and exactly how to do it? I know this is probably very simple but I'm lost and can't seem to figure out how to flash a rom. I was told if I flash a gsm one by mistake I could brick my phone so I'm looking for any tutorials I can find. Thanks for your quick response.

I will try and write you a little tutorial real quick, ok the rom that I would flash this one, chubbzlou sense 4 rom which you can download here and you will need to flash a good recovery, I would recommend team wins recovery you can download that here and the easiest way to flash that recovery image would be to rename it to "recovery.img" without the quotes obviously and put it in your adb folder ya know with your fastboot.exe and your adb files, and then boot into your boot loader select fastboot and type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and it will say like "sending recovery, successfully written recovery" then power off your device and boot back in to the bootloader, then select recovery and it will boot into team wins amazing recovery, then what you need to do is also download a super wipe from here and basically once you are booted into recovery select mount and then "mount usb storage" make sure you have your usb cable connected to your phone at this point and then your computer will recognize your phone and then move the rom and the super wipe onto your phone, next step after the rom and super wipe have fully transferred then unmount it from your pc and then click "install" in the team win recovery, then select the superwipe zip and then you will have the option to add another zip, select the sense4 rom zip and then do the swipe to flash, they will both finish after a bit and then reboot your device and you will be good to go, hopefully I helped

as it was stated, you need to unlock your bootloader again. A recovery image is a image that we use to flash and wipe roms and the phone. Amon RA, TWRP and CW are the ones we can use for our phone. I personally use TWRP and Amon RA depending on my mood. You can find them here

Towards the bottom of the list you will see recovery. You will need to flash one of those in order to flash a custom rom.
Also make sure to read the tutorials towards the bottom. before you start messing with your phone you should be familiar with everything. If you do something wrong and brick your phone, its hard to recover from if at all and you would have an expensive paper weight

as it was stated, you need to unlock your bootloader again. A recovery image is a image that we use to flash and wipe roms and the phone. Amon RA, TWRP and CW are the ones we can use for our phone. I personally use TWRP and Amon RA depending on my mood. You can find them here

1. you need to download fastboot if you have not already. You can find that in the android sdk
2.) once fastboot is downloaded boot your phone into bootloader and select the fastboot option and plug your phone into your computer
3.) place the recovery image in the same directory as fastboot and use the command prompt (windows key +r then type cmd and hit enter)
4.) change directory to where fastboot is and run this command
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
where recovery.img is the name of the recovery file that you downloaded

yeah no problem.
If you go back into the bootloader and select recovery, this will bring you into the Amon Ra.
Download a rom from the forums, I personally like Neo's Roms, Infection 2.8.1 is a good choice. But download any rom and put it on your SD card.
1.) select USB-MS toggle and then select on of the options
2.) copy downloaded rom to mounted sdcard
3.) once copied, hit the power button to unmount and then return to the main menu
4.)select wipe from the main menu and then do each one of these 3 times
Wipe All data/factory reset
Wipe /data
Wipe /cache
Wipe /Dalvik-cache
Wipe /system
then go back to main menu and then select Fash zip menu and select where you placed your rom and then flash...once its flash go back to main menu and select Developers menu and selet reboot bootloader
open the rom using a zip program and pull the boot.img from the rom and place it in your fastboot directory
once you are in the bootloader it should go to fastboot usb automatically and then run these commands
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
it should reboot and load your rom

I have no idea why this isn't working

I did your steps in order, but my phone has been stuck on rebooting... for over 15 minutes as you can see from the CMD. On my phone I just see the booting logo spinning.
I used this rom because I want jellybean: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2113140
Any ideas?
Also, what do I do with the MD5? I didn't use it.

the reboot step isnt 100% needed, its more for ease of use...just pull the battery and power on
Also did you flash the boot.img file?

Dont worry to much about the MD5,I havent used one if forever. Its basically just a security check to make sure that the file you downloaded didnt get corrupt. But with modern technology and internet, its less likely to mess up while downloading. Still possible, but not likely

It's still just sitting on the boot screen.
If you didn't see my edit, there is an md5 file I can download, but I didn't use it because I don't know what to do with it.

It sounds like you have a ph98img file on your sdcard. Remove the sdcard and Mount it in a PC and remove it. Then remount in the phone. Should allow to get into recovery and fastboot then

thanks for the help, before i got your message i got around the issue in a different way just trying a few things. I figured out the phone would boot into recovery with no sd card in it but i couldnt flash the rom again without it installed so i put the sd in partially and then held the battery against the contacts with out inserting it completely then booted into recovery, push the sd in the rest of the way and i was golden for there.
but i happy that someone knew wat it was on the sd card that was giving me the problem ive got that deleted now thanks for the help

That works too, probably not the best thing for the phone, but it works, glad i could point you in the right direction
So i was trying to factory clear my rezound to let a friend use it and ended up completely erasing everything, i had previously used Rezound_All-In-One_Kit_v3.2 to root it but never went s-off, ive relocked it but after hours of reading and googling i am completely stuck and humbly request some expert help.
my bootloader reads
tampered
relocked
vigor pvt ship s-on rl
hboot-2.28.0000
radio-2.23.10.0123r/2.23.10.0124r

Not an RUU, a ROM image, there is no RUU available for the current version of software (which according to your radios & hboot you have already) so now you need to flash a ROM with a custom recovery. You are probably getting the security/signature warning because you are not unlocked, you are relocked... You must be unlocked to flash a non-stock (signed) rom.
Make sure you have fastboot working (part of ADB or mini-ADB) and are unlocked
Download the current TWRP img file for Rezound here and place it in your "fastboot directory"
Download a ROM, for stock try this one by MicroMod777 and place it on your microSD card
Start the phone in hboot, and select fastboot, and connect the USB cable
On your PC, go to your fastboot directory and enter "fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.1-vigor.img" and a green bar should appear in the display, followed shortly after by the TWRP recovery menu
Navigate to the Install/Flash section, find your rom ZIP file and install it
reboot and you should be good to go
i've got twrp successfully installed, but all i get when i try to flash the rom you recommended i get "error executing updater binary in zip". any thoughts?

Check the MD5 of the ZIP file, is it correct? You are browsing to the ZIP file and selecting it, correct? Is the any other error, something about emmc?
the zip was good and ive tried multiple roms, no emmc error, is there a way to s-off and flash a ruu maybe?

OK... Do you have working fastboot and access to a microSD card reader?
Download https://www.dropbox.com/s/pdttet253u4wgrw/CleanWIPE_1.0_-_10x_-Rezoundv2.zip
First, remove your SD card and put it in the reader connected to a Windows machine. Open My Computer and right click on the microSD drive, select Format, change File System to FAT32, and Allocation Unit Size to "Default", untick Quick Format and select Format... This will take some time. Then copy the untouched ROM and Gapps ZIP file and the CleanWIPE zip file to root (main) directory of the SD card. Use MD5 Calculator or something similar to verify the MD5 image on the SD card. Reinsert the SD card in the phone.
Make sure you have the TWRP recovery image file (openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.1-vigor.img) in the same directory as fastboot and adb.
Start the phone into Hboot and select FASTBOOT, it should show FASTBOOT USB in red, then connect your PC and wait for it to connect. Start a CMD session and go to the fastboot directory, enter the command:
fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.1-vigor.img
This will transfer TWRP to the phone and boot it, note that this is different than starting TWRP on the phone directly, it gives TWRP access to more stuff than normal.
Now select Wipes, Advanced, and tick everything except External Storage or MicroSD Storage and wipe it, then repeat this 3 times (note that Internal Storage may change names to emmc, this is normal). Watch for any errors... If there are none go back to the home menu.
Install/Flash the Cleanwipe ZIP, watch for errors.. When this is complete go back home and Install/Flash the ROM ZIP, if there are no errors go Home and Install Gapps, if still no errors reboot the device and disconnect the USB cable.
There is currently no way to S-Off the device without it being bootable.
