Hey everyone!
So my rezound has a cracked screen, and I need to take it to verizon. Heres where my problem is.
I used the htc dev tools to unlock the phone and the zerg root rush method to root. I DID NOT install a custom rom. After the screen cracked, i followed nghtmr3's thread on how to UNROOT the rezound. I successfully got it to S-On, but when i attempted to install the stock rom, I could not do it. I tried to install the OTA update, but it came to the common downloading screen, but then an error pops up, and it wont complete the update.
So I tried to flash rom manager, reboot, and run recovery, but i go back to the same download and error screen.
I really just need to get superuser off so i can take it in without worries.
If anyone can help, I would appreciate it, because i have been going at it for days now.
Thanks,
James
p.s. The attached picture is the updating screen. I come to this screen, but about 1/4 the way in, it comes up with a red "!" and sits there untill i battery pull.
p.s.s. I understand that i have already voided the in-house verizon warranty by having a cracked screen. And i do have the asurion insurance, but i dont want to send it to them with SU still installed, as i have heard that they will send it back.
Smash it up more and take it in.... But u will need insurance

Did you relock the bootloader and then run the newest RUU?

Well if you have a cracked screen youve already voided your warranty. So you might as well just call asurion and tell them you have a cracked screen.

All seriousness though, your screen is already cracked, just gonna have to cough up the deposit... From my understanding if you unlock this phone there is no current way to truly re lick the phone without verizon knowing, hense my great advice

Did you run the command "fastboot OEM lock" before you tried to ruu?

Maybe a Mod could move it? Or at least we can solve your problem and then lock it

I've return rooted phones to asurion. It really doesn't matter, you screen is broken its not like its a warranty issue its an insurance issue. If your that worried just tell asurion you lost the phone and pay your deductible if your so worried about sending it in.

Really? i figured that they would do a thorough check to make sure it wasnt rooted so they dont have to pay for a new one. But your right, if worse comes to worst then i will just say we lost it. Thanks

Just to let everyone know, I apologize for posting this thread in the dev section instead of general. I have contacted the webmaster and asked him to move/delete this thread. If anyone has a suggestion on how to move this thread faster, please let me know, as i wish to follow the proper etiquette for posting.

Rooting your phone does not automatically void the warranty. It MAY void the warranty. A cracked screen shouldn't be a problem.

Alright, so I had to get a warranty replacement because pixels started going dead on my screen. Just tried to unlock the new Rezound and it failed. 22 times. I redid the process 4 times to no success. Some research pointed me in the direction of a defective board? Any ideas?

Are you referring to boot loader unlock or the S-off method? Just to be clear.
Sorry, should have clarified lol. The bootloader. I ran the RUU and tried loading the P98IMG of the 2.3.4 update. They installed just fine, but still can't see the token. So, downloading the ICS RUU and hoping that'll do the trick.
Use hasoon2000's tool to unlock much easier.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think his tool does the exact same thing you do, just by GUI instead of you doing the commands yourself lol.

Yep much easier, or in my case I'm just lazy haha. But yeah you still have to enter the token on htc dev site

lol that's what I figured. The actual process is overly simple and I'd rather do things by ADB. I'm putting in the command correctly, I'm in fastboot, running CMD as admin...just won't take. I called HTC and they said they wouldn't help me because it can void my warranty -_- It's all good, though. I need to send this phone back. The screen isn't in all the way and constantly has to be pushed back down.
Well, looks like I can't unlock it at all. Ffffffuuuuuuuuuu
I just got my rezound today as a replacement for my tbolt. Everything was fine until I updated the software for ics. The phone just turned off after I pressed ok to install. Now, even after a hard reset, I get stuck at the splash screen. Was gonna run to verizon tomorrow but wanted to exhaust all of my options which would not void the warranty. Thanks!

Well your phone isn't completely bricked if you can get it to the splash screen. Try running the latest ruu or ota and see if that works.

sorry im just a little confused. ive had multiple android devices all which have been rooted and not all of them have had the bootloader unlocked. now this is my first htc product so im not really familiar with s-off. but i bought this phone thinking there were going to be lots of devs and everything working on it and this has killed my plans . i know patience is a virtue . i was just curious. i mean droid razrs have plenty of roms available and they are still on a locked bootloader
It all has to do with the exploit used to root the device. HTC has to have an unlocked bootloader so that you can use the bootloader to write the root files to the system folder.

I'd like to know why you thought this was going to be a huge dev phone.
I have the exact opposite feeling.
I wish this were going to be a huge dev phone. My original Dinc already has 2 mostly fully functional Jellybean ROMs available. That community is still strong.

Coming from the thunderbolt, it was easy to get to my bootloader, power button + volume down. How does one get to the bootloader on the incredible 4g?

same way, let it off for awhile then try if it doesn't pull battery and then try, it works
And turn off fast boot in Settings/Power.
i ended up rebooting, and just holding the power + volume down. that worked for me
to answer the og poster
if you have an unlocked b/l you can flash a custom recovery img which allows you to then flash a root package in that recovery
there is no current working exploit manually root the stock rom otherwise
Hmm. I just got the blank email from HTC. I hadn't yet tried unlocking today, and received it after 9pm. I tried, but it was to no avail. I was hoping HTC was secretly sending out emails for those who had repeatedly tried, trying to help them out.

awesome, only 6 weeks from release
in htc time, thats lightspeed
i dont have time this week to mess w/ kernels (wont be at home much in linux) but if the source is good and builds/flashes w/o modification ill put out a simple overclock kernel most likely
fwiw, this looks like the first ics source release for a vzw htc phone....sad really
Does this mean CM10/AOSP is a possibility or is that something else that we don't have access to (I've seen Radio Interface Layer mentioned, but I don't know how that relates to source code)? Thanks for all the hard work guys! Feel better Hasoon

No blank emails for me. However, I did get a 'page not found' error the first time I tried it, and it logged me out, so I had to re-login and get back to the enter token page, then I got my normal Error 160.

Good to know
HTC usually puts out good source (when they release it that is)
But there are exceptions on occasion
