[Q] Help with new firmware - HTC Rezound

I have a rooted Rezound running the OTA ICS. I also have Amon Ra recovery. The newest Firmware update keeps downloading. Once it does the phone shuts off and goes straight to Amon Ra which does not install new firmware. So I reboot the phone and the download process starts all over again. Is there any way to get this new firmware with having to factory reset? Thanks in advance!

If you want the OTA to go you need to flash stock recovery.

Thanks. I was hoping that wouldn't be the case. Do you know of anyway of getting rid of the update? I would rather not have the update than flash back to stock. But my phone shutting off every few hours is pretty annoying. Thanks again.

Remove otacerts... Don't remember the exact location and I'm on my phone, a search on that should turn it up.

I cant seem to find the otacert on my htc resound. I have tried every way to update the new radios and nothing works. I have tried everything but a hard reset and relocking the bootloader. I would rather shut the stupid auto update off. My phone resets at 12:30 am and again at 4am. considering I need the alarm clock on my phone it renders it useless. Any help is appreciated. I am Rooted running stock OTA ICS with Amon Ra.

In confused why don't you just flash stock recovery and let the OTA go? Problem solved. Oh you'd have to relock also.

I have relocked the bootloaderb and gone back to stock 605.12 now it won't download the ota updates. I'm a little stuck on this one

Are you going to settings> software update> check new?
From 605.12 you should get a small OTA first then the big one after that one is done. I just did same procedure in the last week on my wife's phone.
Btw might want to be on WiFi if you aren't already for the download.

Having the same issue here as OP and been searching forums for days looking for help...
First, I'm on 605.13 already, stock ROM, rooted with Amon ra. I realize the steps I need to take but can't find any specifics.
Could someone please spell out the specifics of how to flash the stock recovery, and if I can use the 605.12 RUU to do this being on .13 already. I keep seeing others posting about just renaming a file to recovery.img and pushing using fastboot, but I'm not sure how to obtain the correct file.
Do you relock bootloader first or flash stock recovery first and the relock? BTW I'm s-on stil. Thanks in advance

For some apparent reason the 605.13 update downloaded this afternoon and the 605.14 updated. Its all set after a frustrating 2 weeks of digital torture. thanks to all that helped. I had to scour all these resources and forums to get this done but this is what worked for me. I relocked the bootloader then I used the 605.12 RRU.exe program. After about a day I checked for the updates and they downloaded and installed successfully.

Xander, since you just got this working, can you please confirm the process - I'm about to do this myself and want to verify the steps...
1) Reboot into hboot > fastboot and relock bootloader via fastboot oem lock
2) download 3.14.605.12 RUU.exe (I'm currently on 3.14.605.13)
3) Reboot phone into hboot > fastboot usb
4) run RUU.exe from PC
Is that it? Anything I'm missing here or am I on the right path?

U have step 1 and step 2 correct. Step 3 would be to connect the phone to the computer and run the 605.12 ruu.exe tool. After that u are now back to a stock phone. After the initial setup of adding your gmail account and contacts you can now go into system settings and check for update. As I stated before my phone would not download the update for some odd reason. I tried it a couple more times without success. Today on a whim I went to check for the update again and it started to download. After the small 6mb file was complete the next update for 605.14 downloaded without anny issues. Make sure you delete any zip files off your external SD card labeled ph98img.zip if u tried that method.
Step1 relock boot loader
Step2 run 3.14.605.12 ruu.exe
Step3 check for updates
Step4 unlock phone if you want to
I hope this helps anyone. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks.. Got it! And I got both the 13 and 14 updates almost immediately afterwards. I appreciate the confirmation about the process...

These images are very useful especially for people, who have HBOOT 1.5 that want to lock their bootloader and go back to Stock in order to get latest OTA upgrade.
Your contribution is much appreciated.

That's a good point! I'm on hboot 1.5. So I would have to unroot, update to new OTA, then HTC unlock again? I'm just trying to understand. I'm gonna try this route, if I can unlock/root my phone again.

Yes, this is the route to go. I myself have an evo3d with hboot1.5. my phone was unlocked prior the OTA update. I tried everything to get that OTA installed but no chance. The reason is that the radio within the OTA wont install because you are still S-On even though you are unlocked .
So I had to

I got to Step 5 and am now STUCK.
It goes in and says it is loading, then checking the PG86.IMG.ZIP file, then nothing..
It goes back to FASTBOOT, RECOVERY, FACTORY RESET, (which I've tried, to no avail), SIMLOCK, and IMAGE CRC.
If I reboot without holding down any keys, it goes back there again.
It says RELOCKED at the top. It also says I'm still S-ON. I don't know how to get back to standard factory E3D.
HELP!

Going to try this on mine today to get back to stock....hboot 1.50 the directions above are right on track
Hmmmm, possibly role back to hboot 1.40?? That might come in handy instead of loading ROMs via fastboot all the time, I like to switch on the fly, and I can't really do that with having to break out my laptop and run through cmd...
Any chance I could get someone to upload this to mega uploads for me? My work network blocks the site listed above. Just the full Rom if you could please.

As far as I know you cannot roll back hboot.
So far no you cannot roll back H-boot. But you can still flash on the fly. I use Flash Img GUI from the market to flash the kernel for the Rom, then I boot to recovery and flash the Rom. Works just fine for me even when switching from ASOP to Sense.
You can roll back hboot if you have s off

once you have booted to the system, you have to run the htc update twice, one time to upgrade to 2.08.651.3 and the second time to upgrade to 2.08.651.5.

You are not bricked yet. The problem is PG86.IMG.ZIP. This is not how it suppose to be renamed. It should say PG86IMG.zip and not PG86.IMG.ZIP
If the downloaded zip from the OP does not work, download the file from the post #16 and you should be good to go.
That PG86IMG Alammori provided works for anyone who was unsuccessful with the ones in the OP.

[Q] Stuck on HTC Screen...

Evening!!
I'm hoping you all might be able to help me out here. I have been running the OTA GB ROM for months now. Tonight I rebooted my phone by just holding the power button and hitting reboot. Its now however stuck on the HTC screen and won't boot past it.
I can get into the FASTBOOT menu and such, however when I try to go into the RECOVERY the phone just shuts off, or it will just reboot back into the HTC screen. I've tried download the Rezound_All-In-One_Kit_v2.0 and was able to flash the recovery again however I'm getting the same results, phone just shuts off.
Any idea on how to get my phone back? I really don't care about the data on the phone, just want to get it backup and working. lol I'm really confused as to why all the sudden its getting stuck on the HTC screen.
Did you try removing the battery and putting it back in?
are you rooted? which recovery?
I'm using Amon Ra style vigor and I am unlocked/rooted.
I'm trying to get ADB to detect my phone, but not having luck in that realm either. Was just going to try to push a ROM over to the phone. However it does not appear that it will detect my phone when in the FASTBOOT USB mode. I do a adb devices and it just comes back as none being found...

Download the RUU. Relock your phone ("fastboot oem lock" from command prompt), and run the ruu from your PC while connected to USB. After that you can unlock your phone again and start from scratch.
link to the RUU:

disconnect your phone
close command prompt
ctrl+alt+del and kill any adb process
take out your battery, then put your battery back and connect your phone to your PC and boot to fastboot.

Yes I should be on the latest OTA. I had my phone rooted when I first got it, then Verizion did an OTA update which was messing with my phone. So I did an RUU and then re-rooted with the OTA Pre Root ROM.

Looks like that is not going to work.. I pulled the "firmware" file from that post and renamed it to the PH98IMG.ZIP.
It goes to "Loading...PH98IMG.ZIP
Then
Parsing...PH98IMG.ZIP
Then it just goes back to the main HBOOT menu.
I did unlock my phone again since I had locked it to run the RUU. Any suggestions on how to get the RUU to run?
Ran the RUU again from the link that you sent me. Getting this info when running it:
FROM IMAGE VERSION: 3.10.605.7
TO IMAGE VERSION: 2.01.605.11
Guessing it going from 3.10 to 2.01 is the issue???

so you are on the leaked ruu?
Apparently so...
I was sure I was on the OTA Stock one though, but apparently not, or I jacked things up trying to fix everything and flashed the wrong one.
I'm trying to go through post to downgrade my Mainver file. Thing is since I can't get into Recovery for whatever reason, and stupid ADB won't list my phone its making this difficult. I can run commands, example locking/unlocking but it won't let me shell in.

try to run the leak again.relock, put the ph file on the root of your sd card, then run the file in hboot once. after that finishes, run it again.
http://androidcommunity.com/htc-rezound-android-4-0-ics-leaked-with-sense-3-6-get-it-now-20120316/
download the stock version. you need to be relocked to do this.
after that, unlock, flash a recovery, then proceed to install an ics rom, like clean rom or the many others out there.
after you flash the leak twice, and boot to the OS for the first time, it can take up to 10 minutes to boot up in some cases. be patient.
Ok, i'll give that a go...
If I'm reading that post right though it saying that is ICS?? I was not running ICS, I had tried ICS but it was too buggy for my taste so I flashed back my restore and kernel. I'm wondering if I accidently flashed the ICS PH98IMG file.
I'm willing to give it a go though... Its going to take for EVER to download that file though as its on Rapidshare and I'm getting an eta of 6hrs lol.
What really just gets me is that I've not touched my phone as far as rooting/updating since February. And out of the blue it decides to take a dump on me...

ICS isn't that buggy especially after flashing a good rom. I actually have no bugs at all. Clean ROM is as stable as they come.
When you flashed the leak before, you lost the ability to fully revert back to pre leak status. you can however install a gb rom, but your radios ad such stay upgraded to the leak versions.

If its February, then you aren't on the leak. you just need to reset your main version I believe.
If I remember correctly my phone kept crashing on me. Granted this is when ICS first came out. I don't remember running an RUU though for ICS, however I did run one to get the OTA update.
I have a A500 tablet as well, which it is running ICS so I kind of get the two all mixed up when I think what I've done lol I've changed ROMS on my A500 so many times that my volume rocker is almost warn out
Found another host for the ICS Stock, it will be done in about 10 minutes.

ICS leak isnt in ruu format. perhaps thats why you dont remember it.
INSTALL:
- rename the downloaded leak file to “PH98IMG.zip” (no quotes)
– Place the renamed file onto the root of the SD Card
- relock your device
– Power down your device
– Reboot into the bootloader by holding VOL DOWN + Power
– The flashing process should begin automatically
- once complete, go back to bootloader and flash a second time.

[Q] NOOB Back to Basics Reset of Global Update

Okay, guys, I apologize for what I'm about to ask, but I am now completely lost in the Global Update thread, so I needed to start fresh.
I was rooted and on stock 3.14.605.13. I kept getting annoying update messages from Verizon and tried several forum suggestions to turn them off. Finally I just decided to try to get the update. I was able to unroot and install an RUU back to 3.14.605.12, but now I'm completely stuck. :crying: I'm getting the same Service Unavailable message as others who try to get the small .13 update.
I have downloaded the 3.14.605.13 update zip but can't decipher how to get it installed since the Global Update Thread is now so jumbled.
If anyone has the time to helps us NOOBS (I think I saw several others in my situation), could you please give a step by step rundown of what we need to do? Please start from step 1. For example, do I need to root again now before I can get up to .13?
Finally, if I do get to .13, can I just unroot and get the new global update via Verizon?

Okay, guys, I apologize for what I'm about to ask, but I am now completely lost in the Global Update thread, so I needed to start fresh.
I was rooted and on stock 3.14.605.13. I kept getting annoying update messages from Verizon and tried several forum suggestions to turn them off. Finally I just decided to try to get the update. I was able to unroot and install an RUU back to 3.14.605.12, but now I'm completely stuck. :crying: I'm getting the same Service Unavailable message as others who try to get the small .13 update.
I have downloaded the 3.14.605.13 update zip but can't decipher how to get it installed since the Global Update Thread is now so jumbled.
If anyone has the time to helps us NOOBS (I think I saw several others in my situation), could you please give a step by step rundown of what we need to do? Please start from step 1. For example, do I need to root again now before I can get up to .13?
Finally, if I do get to .13, can I just unroot and get the new global update via Verizon?

going to need some more information:
1. Are you S-off or S-on
2. Are you dev unlocked, locked, or engineering hboot
3. What hboot are you currently on
Wow, that was fast.

S-ON
***RELOCKED*** (I did the HTC unlock with a pin code when I originally rooted, but I "unrooted" via a one-click program, so I don't know the correct answer to the lock question). I relocked the bootloader via sdk if that helps.
hboot is 2.25

you should be good to do the update.
ruu using this zip http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ull-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/
(place on root of sd card, rename PH98IMG.zip)
it will run 2 times. once with be bootloader and recovery, second time will be the full rom.
this will get you to stock OTA should show up a little while after its all installed and connected to the network.
EDIT:
If updated doesnt show up in a day you should be able to update with this zip: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40768590&postcount=35
Okay, I think you're going to be able to get me there ... but ...
I downloaded the zip file and renamed it to PH98IMG.zip. I copied it to the root of both the internal and external cards since I wasn't sure which it needed to be on.
Now how do I execute the RUUx2s? The last one I did to get back to .12 was an .exe file, so that was easy.
I do have SKD and can open a command prompt, so you don't have to go that far back in instructions.

once on root of external sd card. reboot the phone into bootloader
power off device hold vol - and power till you see hboot
hboot will detect it and run for you.
make sure you have 70+ battery before trying this. and do not pull the battery or loose power or it will birck.
Worked like a charm. A million thanks to you.
Donation on the way!
Thanks again for being so patient!

Okay, hopefully last question.
I downloaded the OTA zip just in case.
If I need to end up doing that manually, do I rename it (and if so to what?) copy it to root and then run hboot?

Mind if I ask why are you trying to unlocked you bootloader and soff or your already soff?
Ok, I'll try to help best I can. Hopefully one of the more experienced folks can chime in too as they'll probably be way more helpful. I've got a couple guesses, but need to know a bit more. Please know that I'm only providing my best guesses as I haven't run into this problem.
What firmware version were you on when you tried rumrunner? It sounds like you already had an unlocked bootloader and s-off... through moonshine. Did you end up with a locked bootloader? If so, how? You mentioned that you went back to sense 5. What method? Did you ruu back to a stock rom or just flash one of the Custom/stock ROMs.
Here is one possible option. I would suggest reading through the thread thoroughly before diving in...
- Go back to 100% stock with locked bootloader and s-on: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293919
Then make sure you've taken any OTA updated to get to 3.06.605.4 and you should be able to use rumrunner.

The reason the thing is failing is because he already has a unlocked bootloader with soff. I don't know why he is trying to unlock something that is already unlocked. All he needs to do is download something like superuser or flash a custom rom with root built into it.

10-4. That's kinda what I thought too, but figured I'd try to confirm by asking a few questions. I have seen a few people get stuck with s-off but a locked bootloader if they goof up the process trying to go back to 100% stock. Thought I'd ask the questions just in case this is what he did.
Ok, I would like to keep the Stock Android, but would like to have root access.
I an unsure how to gain root access with out turning S-ON.
I could follow that and turn S-ON again,
But if you have another method of gaining ROOT with out flashing a custom ROM,
I would be grateful for your assistance.
Sorry for any confusion on that,
I spent 10hrs trying to figure this out yesterday,
it was necessary to put down and look at another day.
I have tried downloading superuser and supersu from the play store, neither give me access to root
However I have looked on your forums since you suggested simply flashing another rom already with root access - Thanks for that btw
this post shows the full version, but has odex and deodex, well deodex is pulled, may i ask what the difference is?

You must already have a superuser app to install one from the play store. Flash a superuser zip from recovery. That will put both the app and the required binaries in place.

From what I have learned so far, running rumrunner when you are already S-OFF will net you a FAILED message. if your DNA is already S-OFF then feel free to flash whatever ROM you want.. well sorta, make sure it's for the DNA, and flash at your own risk.
I took the OTA after achieving S-OFF with moonshine and it removed my root access... now I am in this boat where I want to regain root.
I have finally finished downloading the zip from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2560010
But I have no idea how to flash it, step by step instructions would be helpful since this is my first flash and I have yet to figure it out. I have tried fastboot flash zip but that didn't work, and I am unfamilar with this....
The FAQ here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2188944

I found some Instructions that tell you to boot into recovery, but when I try to boot into recovery all I get is a RED ! and Triangle above a screen. like something went wrong :/
Start by downloading ROM and the patch and copy the file to the SD card’s root in your device.
Reboot your phone into recovery mode. For this, power off your device and restart it keeping the volume down key pressed. Your phone will be booted into bootloader fastboot mode.
In the Recovery mode, use the ‘Power ’key to select and to navigate use the ‘Volume’ keys.
Use ‘backup and restore’ option to create a backup.
Now perform three steps in a row: first wipe data//factory reset, then wipe cache and lastly wipe dalvik cache accessing the advanced menu.
Now install zip from your sdcard, then select ROMs zip file you copied to your phone and choose zip.
Redo it for Patch file once you are done with ROM installation.
At the end, reboot your phone.
Lovely I didn't have a recovery installed, using the tools: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219175

if you want to revert to stock, since i didn't flash the second till i flashed the first, i would suggest that you do that, if you want to go with another custom rom, follow it's instructions, if it asks for a specific starting point, aka stock 4.2.2 then flash the first one then flash the custom one.

AT&T 4.4.2 update solution

These are the steps i took to get the Kit Kat update.
I couldnt get the update OTA like most people and i was completely stock.
So if you are in a similar position these steps may help.
DO AT YOUR OWN RISK!
1. Unlock your bootloader and get root access. I did by following these instructions from this video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJYAS2KN17Y&feature=youtu.be
2. Gain S-OFF by following these instructions from this video.
Credits goes to sakitech.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeFwsqU4YL4
3. After you have completed these steps successfully head over to @clsA thread and download the AT&T 4.4.2 OTAPkg.zip and the
stock Recovery_Cingular_US_3.17.502.3.img. Link to the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2659374
4. Place the downloaded .zip on the root your phone storage.
5. follow the steps in @clsA post and flash Recovery_Cingular_US_3.17.502.3.img via fastboot.
6. Navigate to recovery from fastboot on your HTC ONE. If you see "Mount SDCard failed" ignore it. goto to phone storage and locate the update.zip and flash it.

If you're stock, you should be able to get the update just by changing the date. I brought my phone back to stock (3.17.502.3) then just kept hitting Software Update. If it didn't update, advance the date and try again. After a few date changes, the update was offered.

Anyone know if there are issues with S-Off and rooting since the update? I am 100% stock, non rooted, never installed a rom. Its been stock since the day I got it. I planned on getting the AT&T update to 4.4.2, rooting, making an update then testing some roms.
I know with other phones the update screwed some things up so I didn't know if rooting/s-off were an issue since the update.
Thanks ll!

Tried that with no luck. Had to do a factory reset because I went to far, and my OTA check was in -300 hours.
You guys are forgetting that to be able to update the OTA, you need to have an ACTIVE at&t sim card inserted to your phone. I think this is the reason for all the confusion around since not everybody lives in the US
Downgrade to 4.3
OK, so I was able to upgrade but now I messed it up trying to patch default.xml. :crying:
I am trying to revert to the 4.3 with RRU but I get error 155.
I am S-Off, HBOOT 1.56.
I tried with bootloader re-locked, unlocked, locked. I tried with stock recovery and with ClockWM recovery both locked and unlocked.
I also tried to re-apply the patch with stock recover but it fails verification...
Any ideas how do I go back or fix this?
Thanks

The BEST way to make sure that you can run the RUU, whether it be the ATT version, or the Dev Edition is to make sure you downgrade the HBOOT to 1.44. You will never see than error again. No problems at all. Why on Earth though would you want the ATT version, when you can Dev it, and take the 4.4.2 OTA with no carrier BS?

Thank you.
Actually that is what I did. After downgrading HBoot I was able to use the RRU.
Unfortunately I use my phone for work with Mobileiron and will flag it to IT if I'm rooted. I have tried a couple of workaround so but did not work very well. Every time I try to monkey with it IT starts getting emails every 30 min saying my device is not compliant and I am rooted.... So my best solution is to unlock boot loader and flash mods there. Which got me into this trouble....
I can't navigate to the recovery after I flashed Recovery_Cingular_US_3.17.502.3.img to install the OTA. I've tried going to recovery mode and then pressing Power + Vol. Up to no avail. Any help?
