Just got my rezound today, experienced flasher, but with s-off phones.
I have successfully unlocked the bootloader, and rooted the phone and installed the amon-ra custom recovery, from what I've read it seems to be the most popular for this phone, if another one is better please let me know.
But the flashing of custom roms has me a little confused and I couldn't find a good guide to do it, what I want to do is keep my gb bootloader, so I can get s-off when it comes out and install a fairly stock rooted rom based on the ICS OTA with wireless tether capability
Is BAMF Rezound ICS v2.1 Official based on the OTA, I'm not familair with rezound firmware history, if not which are and what steps do I have to take to install it.
I read something about bootloops if you don't install a fix.
Thank you very much for any help you can provide
BAMF ICS 2.1 is a good stable option for a custom ICS rom. Its very stable and fluid and fairly close to stock ICS with Sense 3.6. It has a few tweaks Joel threw it but all the core components are there. As a far as keeping the same bootloader that you mentioned there is a patch in that thread that has to be flashed since you are not gonna be on the lastest HBoot or firmware. Just make sure to flash the kernel since we don't have S-Off.
I have been rooting and romming tablets for awhile now, but never have done a phone. I have a friend with a Sprint HTC EVO 3D with the ICS OTA. I have found this tutorial and wondering if this was the best way to root it. If there is a better way can you please direct me. All the specs on the guide is what is on his phone and also s=on. Also, I know roms are subjective so I probably shouldn't ask, but is there any one rom that stands out for being stable. The person I am doing this for does not have any experience and I don't want to be flashing roms for him and there are so many to choose from it is hard to decide what is the best route to go. I know that the one thing he does want to do is use his phone as a mobile wifi spot so any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestiions.

You might find this guide very useful. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889438
As for ROM. Moderator preference forbids us to tell you on which is the best, however I can tell you which ones you could try out. All of them are stable, fast and have lots of enhancement tweaks. You can try meanrom, cool sense, homebrew, and common sense. That's not all the sense ROMs but I figured I would give you somewhere to start. Try them all out and see which one you like best.Cheers

Thanks for the reply. I knew better than to ask about roms because in the tablet forum we are always telling people the same thing about it is to subjective and not a good topic to discuss. I do appreciate the response though since it gives me an idea where to start. I guess I need to ask the person who's phone it is what it is they are looking for, problem with that is I doubt he knows what he wants since he has never run anything but stock os.
Thanks again for the help....

That's a very nice suggestion. However the link I provided already has links to unlimited.io's web page not to mention HTC dev unlock. Your not doing yourself any good repeating what I have suggested to other users without fully looking into everything that's on the posts first.
Now my migraine is full blown:crying:

I admit I was a little confused because it seemed I was reading the same thing. I still appreciate the help.
Hi All,
Been an Android guy since the G1, but that was also the last time I had anything HTC. Picked up a One yesterday and I'm so happy to be back.
Did a bunch of reading before getting the phone. I wanted to make sure I didn't do anything irreversible. Before I received the phone, I'd read that you couldn't get S-Off with 1.27.531.11, as they'd patched the HBOOT (even though it's still 1.44.) So once I got the phone and confirmed it was on 1.27.531.11, I performed my first step:
1. Downgraded from 1.27.531.11 to 1.27.531.8.
Next:
2. Unlocked using htcdev
3. Flashed TWRP as recovery
4. Installed Android Revolution HD 4.0 Google Edition
All went smoothly! Because I had no issues with this, I decided it was worth it to push on and get S-Off and SuperCID. I read Vomer's guide many times over, and was about to get rolling with revone, when I found another guide ([GUIDE] PRE-S-OFF - IMPORTANT INFO - Read Before Going To S-OFF Threads!) which contained the following:
You are on or flash a STOCK Sense 5, Android 4.1 ROM! (NOTE: 4.2 Software may be OK however for your best chances use the oldest you possibly can!!
But as a result of #4, I'm now on a GPE 4.3 Rom. This gave me pause.
So, two (and a half!) questions really:
1. Should I flash back to a 4.1 or 4.2 rom prior to trying to get S-Off through revone? If so, what rom should I use? My best guess, if this is necessary is Team Nocturnal's Stock Rooted 1.27.531.8
2. Is there anything else flashing Android Revolution HD 4.0 might have done that would cause problems when trying to use revone to get S-Off? I still have Hboot 1.44, and I don't *think* flashing that rom would have somehow made this the patched version present in 1.27.531.11, but I just want to be sure of what I'm doing. (That question sounds so noobish! But better safe than sorry, I'm thinking.)
Thanks in advance, guys. Really didn't have a great community around my last phone, and I'm psyched to be back amongst a big group of tinkerers.
And from that same guide:
Are not using a GE ROM, 4.3 Rom or on stock 4.3 software
So it definitely seems like I should flash something older first. Just want to confirm what would be best (and make sure there's nothing else I need to do as well prior to using revone.)
All set. S-Off and SuperCID achieved.
For anyone who finds this thread down the road:
As long as you've downgraded to 1.27.531.8, just make sure you're on a 4.2.2 or earlier rom. Multiple reports of revone not working with 4.3 roms. You're on an older rom after doing the downgrade, so if you don't flash anything after that, you're ready to use revone.
Thank you for the info! I had wondered the same thing!

******** First off, let me say, that I'm not sure where to post this, so I'm taking a stab here, but it might be better suited for the "Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE > HTC EVO 4G LTE Android Development" threads, that being said, let me know. ********
Feeling really lost, and could really use a friend *sniff*
I keep running into pitfalls, and I think it's because I just have bad timing. I know that the Evo LTE is getting close to EOL, and a lot of dev's have either moved onto to new hardware, lost interest in this device, or are now playing around with the new 4.3 RUU or KitKat builds for this device....
I've been heavily modded on many of my older devices, but with my Evo lte I've been stock (rooted, but still S-On) for over a year now, and I'm just starting to want to get more out of this device.
I did a ton of Google searches for ROM's and finally homed in on one, Beanstalk (the older 4.3 stable builds), but I'm just running into issues at every turn.
Currently I'm on Viper4G 3.1.7, purely because it saved my ass, when I tried going to Beanstalk while still S-On (whoops).
I'm currently S-Off with moonshine
HBOOT 2.09.4444
RADIO 1.12.11.1210
while I can now get Beanstalk to install, and boot, and GApps (jb-20130813), I CAN NOT get my phone to activate, I spent probably 4 hours and MANY reboots and re-flashes trying to get it to let me activate. I've tried both the "Stable (8/27)" and the "Latest Stable (9/17)" builds, both do the exact same thing.
So, needing a working phone, I'm back on Viper4G, and wondering, what is the best ROM to look at for this device?
I would post in the Beanstalk thread, but the dev has already said
I just don't feel the excitement for this phone anymore. Last Saturday I was ready to give this phone up...

so, I just don't know what ROM I should be looking at, and where to get help on these older ROMs when they have hiccups on install. Can anyone suggest a ROM?
Personally it seems like KitKat needs a little more time in the bakery before I feel ready to put it on my daily use phone.
I even thought about going with the 4.3 RUU right from HTC, but then I started reading all the bugs people where running to, and the fact that you can't downgrade has me worried, and so, like I said about KitKat, I think I just wanted to give that a bit more time as well.
So in a round-about way, I guess I'm asking, what ROM should I be looking at? Is Beanstalk currently the best for this device (I know that's heavily subjective) or is there another ROM I should be looking at that still has active members to bounce issues off of if I run into installation issues?

If s-off you can downgrade via older ruu, viperruu I believe but don't quote me on it. As for me I haven't had any issues on the new update. me personally I'm not a fan of aosp roms. My personal favorite is the 4.3 sense 5.5 from sin and chubbz. I've tried some of the aosp for the new format and those are the ones that I had data problems with. Viper does have a rom for the new layout as well as Yankees. But then again it's all user preference. Personally I would strongly recommend running the new ruu. Captain has a thread listing aosp roms built for the new layout if that is what you are interested in.

Being that you're S-off, it is possible to downgrade after running the 4.3 RUU. Also you can try updating your firmware. I haven't been on any of the older partition layout ROMs for quite a long time but I do recommend running the RUU. You will remain S-off and your bootloader may even remain unlocked. (Mine did) If not, it's not a big deal to unlock it again. Most of the limited development remaining for this device is based around the new partition layout. There is even a new Viper build. Just my ¢2.

Here's a tip for the OP. Flash the rom, then reboot into Android without flashing Gapps. THEN reboot into recovery again and flash Gapps. You won't encounter the Welcome screen, so you'll have to add your account through the settings. The same problem happens to me, no matter which AOSP rom.

You know, I did notice that. I didn't post that permutation of installation steps, but I did find that if I flashed either of the "stable" or "latest stable" builds of beanstalk WITHOUT GApps, I could get around the welcome screen, but I still couldn't place a call. Also I noticed that my PRL version was sky high for what I should have. Currently have 16018, but when I checked it while on Beanstalk it was something like 65002 (if my memory is correct) could this be causing issues too?
I never checked the PRL version whole on AOSP, so I truly couldn't tell you.
Hey,
So I usually dont have many questions, but I have not updated my DNA in a very long time Currently I am running
Android Version
4.1.1
Sense Version
Sense 4+
Rom Version
ViperDna 1.3.5
I am running TWRP 2.6.0.0 and I think I am running DSB kernel but really cant remember because its been so long, phone is unlocked and S-ON.
I am looking to update to 3.5.0 which looks to be the latest one available, I have a hard time telling because there is no order in the threads regarding the updates that have been released,
I seen it says that you need TWRP BETA .6 which I have downloaded, and I have already downloaded 3.5.0 Rom.
So now my question is, what kernel do I need in order to install these on my device without issue, and in what order do I need to update them?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
I still have my unlock token bin saved, maybe it would be faster and easier to re lock the phone, update to stock OTA kitkat and then install 3.5.0? Looks like a custom kernel isn't necessary in the install instructions?
Let me know, thanks again in advance
*Bump*
