Aloha everyone,
I'm currently running Innefabilis 1.0 (Gingerbread) and running DSB's Kernel (Stock but tweaked). I'm a little confused on how to update my Firmware and Radio after reading many threads in the Development Section.
Recently I flashed an ICS ROM and had the mainver error every time I tried to revert back to Gingerbread. I finally fixed the mainver error and would like to update my phone to the latest Firmware AND Radio.
As far as I've read, in order for me to update my Firmware and Radio, I have to do a NAND Backup, relock my device, install the latest update via bootloader, and unlock again and restore my ROM. Though I've seen in other threads some people didn't need to relock their devices to install the latest update.
My questions are:
1) Do I need to flash a Stock Rooted ROM before I relock my phone to do the update? Because I've removed some bloatware from my current ROM.
2) Is there an easier method to Update my Firmware and Radio on my Rooted Rezound? If so, would someone like to provide me easy steps to doing so?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Nandroid backup
Flash radios via hboot
Relock
Flash kernel for ICS. You can find it in Nils kernel thread.
Unlock
Restore amon ra recovery
Reroot via amon ra
Restore nandroid.
That is ofcourse if you mainver is below or at 2.10. If not then you have to play that game again.
That is the short and sweet version. If you need more I can lay it out again in a more detailed way later tonight.

Or flash the kernel you need. Nils kernel thread explains it all.

Thanks EmerikL,
I do have a couple more questions, I currently have CWM installed.
Is it okay to flash Amon Ra over CWM?
Also, can you tell me how to unlock and relock my Rezound please? LOL.
I know how to unlock via HTCDev website but unsure about locking.
Yes you can flash over CWM with Amon Ra.
In fastboot type fastboot oem lock. To unlock type fastboot oem unlock unlockrohen.bin

Here's a post of directions I made for someone else recently. Hope it helps.
Also, if you want to get back on Ineffabilis you can either restore a nand or flash it again without issue, then if you want to use the dsb kernel you will need to either 1) edit the android-info.txt file inside the dsb zip file or 2) flash it up to the point where it wants to "update", don't update, go to fastboot and copy out the boot.img from the dsb zip into your sdk folder and flash it from there. If you want to use Ineffabilis and the new stock kernel you'll need to flash the new kernel modules from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467793 since Ineffabilis has the old ones. *Unless they've updated the ROM, I haven't checked the last couple days.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
You'll then have to delete the PHzip file from your sd card.
Now back to getting the OTA update...
1) get the sdk working on your computer
2) On your phone, do a battery pull, then boot it into fastboot and then connect it to your computer.
3) Type the following at your computer's cmd prompt:
fastboot getvar all
and find out what mainver you are on.
* If you are on a mainver that starts with 3.x then you cannot run the RUUs. If your mainver starts with 1.x or 2.x then continue onto step 4.
4) Relock your phone by typing the following:
fastboot oem lock
5) Download the RUU for your mainver to your computer. Use the file from here that corresponds to your mainver:
http://www.filefactory.com/f/c2e320ee1d5c7886/
This is an exe file so just run it on your pc with your phone attached. I know you need to be locked, I think you need HTC Sync installed, so if it's not working search for those answers, it will work, others have done it. Now you are back to stock.
5) Unlock your phone again using the same unlock bin file you got before by putting it in the same folder you are now using for sdk. Type the following command:
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
If you don't have it obtain a new one by following the same steps you did before to get it originally. Here is a guide for that:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20780879&postcount=1
Now you should be stock and unlocked.
6) Flash Amon Ra in fastboot. Get the lateset version, 3.13. here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?chpoxzb8bl4nn2b
Type the following command to flash it:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-ra-vigor-3.13-gnm.img
Now you should have Amon Ra on your phone.
7) Root your phone by installing su using Amon Ra. Go to the developer menu and find the option in there.
Now you should be stock, unlocked and rooted.
8) MAKE A NANDROID BACK UP NOW AND LABEL IT.
9) Flash a new ROM.
*** If your mainver is 3.x try this thread to see if you can come up with a method to go back to stock. I haven't looked into this since I have not ventured into ICS land as of yet.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459347
There are also some threads about getting back to stock from ICS I think so here are my search results for "stock ics" in the thread title and you can probably find an answer in there somewhere.
Here's another post I had made with an alternative method in it in case you have any trouble with the RUU:
ATERNATIVE METHOD:
You can also use con247's Stock OTA ROM instead of running the RUU.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21880389
Here are the steps to take to accomplish that:
1) use Amon Ra to flash con's vigorStock OTA ROM. It will do its thing then reboot to hboot. I think it then asks you if you want to update. Don't do it yet.
2) At this point you want to relock. So go into fastboot on the phone. Using adb/fastboot type the following at the cmd prompt:
fastboot oem lock
3) Reboot phone and let it flash the PHzip file. It should reboot completely when it's finished.
4) delete the PHzip file using a file explorer app like ES File Explorer or Root Explorer.
5) get the phone back into fastboot. Unlock again using adb/fastboot. I don't remember the exact command but you can find that in the guide for unlocking.
6) reinstall su using Amon Ra.
Now you should be stock OTA rooted with the new goodies.
Check in Settings > About phone > Software info > More to see that you got all the new stuff.
Mahalo EmerikL and feralicious for your responses and help. I think I'm gonna give these instructions a shot over the weekend. The instructions you both provided were well written, now I just have to be able to actually do it without messing anything up, lol.
If I do need further assistance, I will definitely report back with my questions, lol.
Thanks,

Thank you feralicious. I'm actually gonna give this a shot today. But I have one more small question, the radio is also included in this RUU/OTA update, correct?
Another thank you for this one, this is going to be very helpful .

Hey emerikL,
I've already updated my radio and firmware to the latest versions. I was wondering, is it okay to still reflash Ineffabilis v1.0 with the latest update?
Yeah there isnt a pronlem with that i think. Just dont restore you nandroid over top of it. You'll need to do pretty much a clean install.

unless you hex your bootloader... I Downloaded the Official RUU .. locked the bootloader ran the update, unlocked... booted into android enabled debugging.. pulled that thing and changed my mainver down to 1.. sent the file back and rebooted
If your already on a mainver pass 3.602.11 (some****) then you need to find a way to flash the radio via a PH98IMG or hex your bootloader down and flash the RUU /OTA
Guess I have to deal with the stupid audio hiss then, until the real one comes out, thanks for your response.

No, you can get the OTA without editing your actual phone file.
There's a link to that in my lengthy post above. See the part where it says if you are on mainver 3.x, there's a link to a thread about dealing with that there. Also try searching using the terms "stock ics" and you should come up with threads about getting back to stock from 3.x mainver. I guess I forgot to paste my results in that post cuz I see I mentioned it.
Basically you need to edit a text file included in whatever package you are flashing OR you should be able to flash in fastboot without worrying about it. I successfully flashed a kernel in fastboot that had given me a mainver error when I tried to flash in recovery.

In order to downgrade you need to S-OFF, then flash one of the old RUU's.
Did you factory reset after installing the ICS?
I would also try installing the new 4.3.605.2 RUU from Android Police... factory default, flash twice (if you flash an RUU, ALWAYS do it twice), then factory default again.

+1 I would try the factory reset before anything. then follow the steps above.
if you are 100% sure you want to go back to GB then you would need s-off
you need s-off to go back to gingerbread. try flashing the new 4.3.605.2

It is completely stable, and fixes way more issues than the changelog mentions...
http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ull-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/
And select AP Mirror #1 which is hosted on beta.androidfilehost.com, a very reliable and (usually) speedy server, it takes about 3 minutes for me to download it ( I have done it lots of times, people keep saying doesn't work), just click the link, then the green circle with a down arrow to download it (to the left of the filename), MD5 matches every time. If that one give you trouble, go to the same link and on the right hand side there are mirrors of that server, they work equally well.
And like every ROM, VERIFY the MD5 before flashing... if it don't match, don't flash!
It looks like your RUU didn't install completely. Flash it *several* times, until you get the screen where all items are listen as "OK" and it says to reboot.
If that still doesn't work, try flashing it through fastboot:
install HTC Sync (this will install drivers for adb and bootloader debug). Somehow obtain fastboot.exe (pretty sure it comes with HTC Sync. If not, download the Rezound All In One Toolkit. Open a command prompt and change the directory to the same one that fastboot.exe is in (use the command "cd" then the full folder location, ex "cd c:\users\yourname\desktop\fastboot folder").
Next, you'll want to take out your phone's SD card. Power on the phone, holding power and volume down to boot into the bootloader. Then, choose fastboot. Connect your phone to your PC at this time. Now use the command "fastboot oem rebootRUU". Your phone will reboot to a black screen with a silver HTC logo. Next, drag the RUU file you downloaded (doesn't matter what it's named) to the same folder as fastboot.exe. Use the command "fastboot flash zip <ruu name>", replacing "<ruu name>" with the name of the file, obviously. Once the command prompt says it's done, you can safely turn off your phone, or do a battery pull if necessary.
I highly recommend you do not revert to Gingerbread, because it requires a firmware downgrade and the S-Off procedure is necessary. Things can go horribly wrong with S-off especially if you don't know what you're doing.

Without S-OFF you can only go same version or newer, not backwards, but you will have to relock your bootloader... You should then be able to flash the 4.3.605.2 RUU with no problem.

Also, make sure you allow it to fully do its thing, don't pull battery or anything in the middle of it. The screen will go black for a second or two, just wait it out. It will leave you in bootloader when it's done iirc.
I'm on the 3.15 RUU with 2.09 HBOOT. I used dirty racun for s-off and am HTCdev unlocked obviously. I know I can't undo the HTCdev unlock.
In what order do I need to do these things to relock bootloader/unroot and restore to stock 3.15?
I'm thinking:
1.) Flash stock recovery image then flash stock 3.15 RUU.
2.) Relock bootloader
3.) profit?
4.) skip like a fairy
If I flash the stock RUU that will restore S-ON correct?
BTW, is there an active link for the stock JB 3.15? HTCruu is no more and that was the only place I knew.
Bueller?
Any feedback on where I can get the stock 3.15 RUU?

This is all I know for now, a stock, rooted rom. I'm trying to find the full RUU dot exe file. I have the link around here somewhere.
I was trying to post the link, and didn't notice at first, that I'm too new. I was going to spell out the URL, but didn't want to offend the moderators. I guess you can send me private message, if you want it. The link was sent to me by a senior member of xda, and member of dev team for a well-known rom.
See here for zips which include the files for rooting + the RUU exe's:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2026938
When I was HTCdev unlocked and wanted to get back to stock ICS and take the OTA to get Jellybean, I followed the Youtube link at the bottom of that post to relock the bootloader. After that, I then ran the RUU from my computer. That brought my phone back to stock. (Then I took the OTA to Jellybean, unlocked again, and installed a new ROM, but that's not what you're looking to do, it sounds like)
1. Reboot into bootloader
2. Set phone to fastboot option
3. Connect phone to pc with adb folder already setup on computer (htc drivers etc).
4. Make sure computer says "fastboot usb"
5. Open command prompt from your adb folder
6. Type "fastboot oem lock"
7. Run 3.15.651.16 RUU exe file on computer and sit back.
Since you have 2.09 hboot then you're stuck using the 3.15 ruu file....hope that helps...let us know how it ended up.

Are you doing this to warranty it? It will say "relocked" when you are done. It hasn't been a problem for anyone in the past though, you should still be able to return it to Verizon.
Instructions on how to return to stock are here:

You probably should use the latest official RUU (prior to the OTA they just rolled out a couple days ago) which is 3.14.605.12. The link I have is to an .exe file. You just connect your phone to your pc and then double click. It will take you through the steps.
Get it here:
http://androidfiles.org/ruu/?dir=Vigor
That will get you back to stock, unrooted and it will say "relocked".
There was a global leak that wasn't official. If you want to use that, get it here:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ull-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/
This is a zip file you put on your external sd card. Follow instructions in the first link I gave you.
THANK YOU

Thank you so much it worked like a charm!!! You just saved me from a weeks worth of searching i did and a couple of headaches.. Thank you very much
You're welcome, glad it worked for you!
I noticed I typed the wrong thing when I said "latest OTA", I should have said "latest official RUU" (don't know what was going on in my head) so I'm going to edit that post to fix it for any future readers.

I was Tampered/Locked and s-off. I ran the 4.03.605.2 RUU twice then its said locked the tampered was removed. I used the mini-adb_vigor program to achieve S-ON. Open a Command prompt wtih admin privileges and enter these commands pressing enter after each one. Now I am completely back to Locked S-ON. Hope this helps.
cd c:\mini-adb_vigor
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
fastboot reboot-bootloader
*verify you are locked s-on
fastboot reboot

Make sure to run this on a stock hboot or it will brick.
I am having a similar issue. I am rooted, I never relocked my bootloader, stock minus a few mods, but the ota update keeps failing. What do I need to do to be able to accept the update so it stops rebooting my phone?
Ok, I have been away from the site and havent messed with my phone for over a year so I am really rusty but I want to flash to ICS. However after many hours today without success I have restored the GB. Hoping someone can give me some insight to my mistake as things have changed a far bit in a year.
I currently have Nils Business Sense Gingerbread and want to go flash Nils Business ICS 4.0.3 Sense. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1508118
I believe I followed direction as described on the above page but I could never get the recent RUU to install. Looking at the directions on the above thread post #3 "Latest RUU Leak and Installation Instructions" I can get it to step #6 but things fall apart there. It finds the PH98IMG.zip and scans it like the directions say but never prompts me to say "yes" as describes. It does have the progress bar on the right side that will complete and then returns to the bootloader screen but at no point does it actually go to the white HTC load screen. Is there something missing from the directions or could I have missed something?
The phone was unlocked thru HTC website over a year ago. I believe its s-off but dont remember and unable to figure out how to tell.
Thanks in advance. Mark
Okay, first of all, to check if you are s-off boot into bootloader and look up top. Around the 2nd or 3rd line I believe, it will say Vigor and either s-off or s-on in there.
If you are s-on you need to relock the bootloader in fastboot.
fastboot oem lock
If you didn't do that and you are s-on that's probably the issue.
I ran the RUU a week or so ago so I'm trying to remember exactly what happened.
I don't recall if it just automatically ran or if it asked me if I wanted to "update".
When you say you see a progress bar, do you see a list of items and does it say "updating" next to each item as it gets to it? Can you say exactly what is on the screen after it starts? Also you are using the latest global, 4.03.605.2?
After it makes a first pass it will go to a black screen for a couple minutes then back to bootloader to run again. Then you'll see the same screen with the list and "updating" next to each item.
Then it will boot back into bootloader and ask you if you want to reboot iirc. Or else it reboots itself but I think it asked me. Then you'll see a normal boot but it will take a while so just be patient.
Thanks for the quick reply.
No it never gets to the point of updating anything. I finds then scans the img, it has a blue completion bar on the right side of the screen when it is scanning. That will complete but it never updates anything and returns to the recovery screen. I even tried just loading the ROM without installing the RUU and it sat on the white HTC screen for an hour so clearly I have to update the RUU before I can flash Nils ROM.
Ok apparently I am S-on so need to relock bootloader.
Can you give me a little more details on how to do it. Guessing I'm not grasping fastboot oem lock.
Are you s-off or s-on? If s-on, did you relock first?
You might try running the 3.14.xxxxxx from here:
http://androidfiles.org/ruu/?dir=Vigor
It's an exe file so just double click it on the desktop and it will run.
Or you can give these commands in fastboot:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip NameOfZip.zip
Then if that works you can try the global again. Double the work, but unless someone else comes along with a solution it's something you can try while waiting.

Okay, that's probably it then. Was writing my last post when you posted.
So power down the phone, pull the battery then put it back in and boot into bootloader. Switch to fastboot and connect to your pc.
Open up your command window and navigate to where you have your fastboot/adb folder (I attached what you need in case you no longer have it, just place the folder on the root of your pc so you would navigate to c:\android).
Then type
fastboot oem lock
That will lock you so you can run the RUU.
Afterwards you will need to unlock again. If you no longer have your unlock code you can get it again from HTCDev. If you go to their site it explains how.
http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/
Once you receive your token put it in the "android" folder (or whatever the name of your folder you use for fastboot is).
Then type
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
I keep my android folder with the unlock token and latest Amon Ra recovery in there so I always know they're there if I need them.
Then you'll need to flash the newest AmonRa, it's up to 3.16 now.
Root ( didn't have to do anything, was already set to flash ROM)
Flash Nils' ROM.
Also, since you are s-on you will need to flash the kernel from the ROM after you flash the ROM. I don't know if he has it set to make a PH98IMG file or not - some ROMs create one on your sd card. If not, you need to pull it from the ROM, put it in the "android" folder and flash in fastboot. I would pull it out ahead of time in case so you're ready.
fastboot flash boot boot.img (or whatever the name of his kernel is)
Then you should be able to boot up and enjoy.

Hey feralicious,
Been reading this and with my white screen issue, I have two questions.....first is like you I have an android folder where I keep the unlock token and amonRa recovery but mine is 3.15. Where can I get 3.16 from? I saw a thread with zip files but it said you had to be S-off and I am not.
My second question is what is file you attached here?

There's a link for 3.16 at the bottom of the Amon Ra thread in development. Not the attachments, the link right above those.
I attached the folder with the files needed to use fastboot/adb.

Ok. I don't need those. I have adb all set. I will check that thread again. Any real difference in 3.16 vs 3.15?

The only difference I know of is that 3.16 has a working root option.
