I have no os on my phone anymore, i have no idea where to even start. Ive been searching and searching forever now.
S-On
Hboot- 2.28
No Backup and Non-Root as well
Bootloader Unlocked
Is there anything i can do? I know the Hboot 2.28 RUU hasnt came out yet that i know of and researched of as well....Thanks in advance!
Your fine, did you just wipe everything or re-did the ruu?
If your did the ruu than you need to get your recovery back in your phone
If you just wiped everything in recovery than you need to download the ROM you want to use than install the zip in recovery but don't boot into it yet. Pull the battery and boot into bootloader and go into fastboot. Than on your PC take the boot.img file out of the ROM zip you just installed and flash it over ADB.
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
If you need any more help or questions I can continue to help or others will pop in
Edit: IF your trying to get back to just stock than you need to ruu again http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ull-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/
You need to have a locked bootloader when flashing the ruu,
After downloading the file, rename it to "PH98IMG.zip" (no quotes)
Place the renamed file onto the root of the SD Card
Than boot into bootloader and it should load it up and install it, make sure to just leave it be. The phone might turn off than back on by itself once during the installation and that's normal, it'll continue installing and it will let you know when its finished

Add a rom zip file to your external sd card via your computer. And install it via yiur custom recovery. If for some reason you don't have a custom recovery, use Odin to go back to stock.

Ok ive got a ROM installed but every time i try to flash the Boot.img it says "Failed (data transfer failure)"

Guys,
I followed this guide to unlock my phone and gain superuser access step by step:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239821
I then installed Rom Manager, and restarted in Recovery.
I placed this zip: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421065 onto my SD Card, and did not rename it. Once in recovery I installed that ROM. It installed with no errors however now the phone gets stuck at the htc logo screen.
Any thoughts?
What was contained that .zip file you flashed, and did you make a backup of your system before you flashed?

Did you wipe data cache and dalvik? If not wipe again. If it bootloops again try pushing the kernel with fastboot.

mike, can you tell me how to push the update with fastboot, I'm kind of new to all of this telephone wizardry
I can get into FASTBOOT/HBOOT/RECOVERY, however nothing I do seems to help me get past the HTC Logo. Any thoughts? Maybe I'm not waiting long enough? Can someone please tell me exactly what I need to do (if I can even do something). I might just be approaching this whole process the wrong way.
Do I install a ROM from ZIP from Recovery? Do I need to fastboot an .img file first?
Sounds like your hboot 1.5 and your phone is hanging due to you need to place a copy of your recovery in your adb folder...
The while in Hboot
Using adb with phone plugged in and debug turned on
fastboot boot recovery.img
Then wipe and flash the rom you were trying to flash...
You can't just flash a rom with recovery since your s-on
Two methods
One is fastboot boot recovery.img which is easy
Other is boot.img pain in the ass
I tried booting directly into recovery like you just said. I am using TWRP recovery.img file.
Can this be caused by the type of ROM that I am trying to install?
Everything works fine, the .zip gets applied and seems to install correctly, but it still hangs at the htc logo.
I also forgot to mention that originally I used Clockwork Recovery Mod, which i got from the market, and selected the option to boot into recovery. I don't know if that makes any difference.
You should Google shooter ruu. Get back to stock. Retry this with another shot at reading the instructions.
You must plug your phone into pc while in fastboot and give it a command to boot recovery recovery.img .
Then reflash a rom.
Read more I'm hboot 1.4 and I can still flash a 1.5 hboot correctly cause I've read how to.

If u haven't figured it out yet, see if this helps:
[Guide] My Hboot 1.50 HTC Unlock/recovery/rom/kernel flashing notes http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1495358
If u have updated your phone to the newest radio in the 2.17.651.5 update you may have problems if the Rom is based on an earlier kernel/radio like I think Warm is, but I could be wrong.
You may have flashed the Rom incorrectly & not had the kernel get flashed causing the boot loop.

So I was trying to update the firmware and relocked my phone through adb. However when I went to boatloader to update to RUU it cant find the RUU image (I may have names it wrong by stupidly putting .zip in the name). Now I am stuck in the boatloader and cant go anywhere. Can someone help me so i can continue on. Is there a way to add files to the sdcard through adb?
or is there a quick way i could rename the RUU?
I went into the sdcard through my nook and renamed the file to PH98IMG but still no picking up in fastboot and still stuck in boatloader

connect the phone via usb unlock the phone again and use nand backup
then rename and relock then flash ruu
or
connect the phone via usb then unlock the phone again and
install cwm recovery through adb or cleanflash 1.0
from cwm recovery, go to mount and storange then mount sd card
then rename then install stock recovery and relock then flash ruu
so hey guys. just got an evo, and did the regaw root method where it unlocks the loader using HTcunlocker. and it also installed the twrp. i downloaded the cm10 zip and threw it on a sd card.
I put the sd card in, and went and booted into recovery mode... all good. locate zip on the external sd card, and when i try and install it, it fails first step... any suggestions what to do.
I read around and noticed you need s off to do anything that has its own kernel.
seems my hmode is like 1.5 or something so i cant do the s-off. I need to downgrade it. No problem.
bad thing is in the recovery i went to do a wipe facory reset, and now when i try and boot to system it says NO OS found! haha i power it down and back on, and it says no os found!
I cant use an RUU or downgrade tool because i cant boot up and into debugging,
i know you clever people can help me out a bit, right?! i miss my epic 4g slider
EDIT STILL NEED HELP please and thank you in advance

Pay attention to the S-On part of that article. You have to flash the kernel separately with S-On. Also there is now a method of downgrading in order to achieve S-Off. It can be found in the original development subsection.
it seems like i downloaded a RUU with 1.3, but the problem is, it says it cant connect to the phone. i didnt install any drivers or anything. so point blank, since this was a newer phone, I need to download a livecd of linux in order to get this thing to boot to anything other then the white htc screen or twrp?
You need to get into twrp by holding power and volume down . Once there wipe everything except storage. Then mount USB and copy/paste a Rom from your pc to your phone. Pull the boot IMG first and place where your adb/fastboot files are.
Flash the Rom, when its done boot into bootloader from recovery and then fasyboot flash the boot IMG
There are detailed instructions on how to do these steps all over XDA
Hope you get it up and running
I don't know if you need those drivers you talked about. If you wanted to be sure about having the correct drivers you could install HTC sync on your pc.

ok so go into twrp. then from my rom zip file, youre saying to pull out the boot.img and place in the fastboot folder (not sure)
then flash the whole zip file of the rom (with or without the boot.img that i copied) and then you say boot into bootloader and than fastboot flash the boot.img? im kinda lost right there
So As i just woke up and ready to try again with this bastard phone, can you link me to something stating how to actually flash a rom using s-on htcunlock? or just how and where you put the boot img and where the fastboot folder is etc.
Best thing to do probably is read om4's guide in the Q&A section. Its stickyed or maybe download flash image gui. The app explains the process. Its any easy solution for s-on folks.
Sorry i cant explain in detail how to fastboot flash the boot img but all the info easily found on xda.

So when i try to send the image using fastboot, i do fastboot devices, and then i try and send. it says sending, but will stay there infinitely. I cant find a thread that talks about it locking up during the file transfer
Maybe I'm missing something here but couldn't he put a rom like meanROM ,that has the s-on kernel installer built in, onto his sd card (assuming he has one) and install it from TWRP just so he has a working phone? Then he could properly research how to get CM10 installed and running.
edit.... so I somehow miraculously now have it working again.... installed amon-ra recovery, then unsuccessfully flashed Neo, but was able to get Ecliptic Rez to work... can't seem to delete this thread though...
Hi,
So I was running the most recent RUU re-locked, S-on.
I went through the unlock process successfully, then got TWRP on my phone (not even sure how this worked... was using the Rezound all-in-one tool, it didn't seem to work properly the first time, but was able to pull up TWRP through Recover later on) then used TWRP to flash SuperSU and was rooted. Then feeling cocky I went ahead and did a clean wipe (note: I was very dumb and never setup a Restore... I thought, oh everything is going great, I'll just flash real quick, no reason to create a backup.... lesson learned haha) and tried to flash Ecliptic Rez. The first time it didn't work... it almost instantly said it was "installed" but didn't work. I tried to Flash it again, this time it looked good, took a while to install, everything looked great. I rebooted and the EclipticRez splash screen came up.... but then it stayed up, and it's still up. I can go back to recovery/hboot/whatever.
If it matters I pretty much flashed Ecliptic with all the options as default (except I chose S-on)...
I also tried just now to flash NeoMax2.0 but this is stuck at the splash screen as well. I tried to flash this rom first by having it as PM98IMG.zip on my root, but it didn't seem to install properly (it went through an initial phase on hboot for about a minute then went back to the hboot screen. So I then flashed it using TWRP, it said it was "injected successfully" (or something like that) but then when I rebooted it went to the splash screen and is stuck there...
If it matters too, my phone is "unlocked" and "tampered" on hboot.
My questions are...
Where should I go from here?
I really don't wanna mess with S-OFF..
I'm trying to learn more about amon-ra recovery but it's gonna take a while for me to digest all that info.
Could it be a TWRP issue in some way?
Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
For future reference, since you are s-on (as am I) you need to flash the kernel after the ROM.
Some ROMs you have to pull the kernel out and do it in fastboot, or some, like Ecliptic, will put a PH98IMG on your sd card and put you in hboot after the ROM flashes. Then you accept the update if it doesn't start automatically and it will flash the kernel and then you should be able to boot.
You shouldn't need to rename the ROM to PH98IMG, just select flash zip in recovery and navigate to it.

That's dead on! Thank you. That was the difference I noticed. I'm not sure why, but amon-ra after flashing EclipticRez sent me back to hboot and there I realized that I was supposed to do another step, and at that point I thought, hey this might work this time lol
Out of curiosity.... so you say some ROMs have you "pull the kernel out" - what exactly does that mean? Would I have to download (or perhaps just located the kernel in the SD card) and change that to PH98IMG and put it on SD Root so it loads that update in hboot? Thanks
Since I download everything to my pc then transfer to my phone, what I do is just look in the ROM zip file in explorer and then copy the boot.img out of it into my fastboot folder. Then I just flash it from there using:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
There's probably a way to get it out using Root Explorer or ES File Explorer, but I don't know how you would put it into a PH98IMG file on the phone.
I avoid PH98IMG files whenever possible. Those could be anything packaged up into a file named PH98IMG and I feel safer flashing something using the real name. Would hate to use the wrong PH98IMG file by accident and do something I regret later.

Ok cool, so you'd flash your ROM first using the command prompt, then after the ROM has finished installing and you're back in hboot you would then flash the boot.img (aka Kernel right?)?
Flash the ROM in recovery - on the phone, not fastboot. I just download to my pc and store everything there then copy what I need to my phone when I want. So when I flash a ROM I copy it to my sd card to use in my phone.
Then you may or may not have to flash the kernel in fastboot. Only need to use fastboot if the ROM doesn't make a PH98IMG file for you and put it on your sd card. If it does make one I believe it will put you in bootloader and ask you if you want to update and you just select yes with no need to use pc.
I was trying to ruu'ing and my sd card would not mount through the android recovery. So i wiped Dev/cache, cache, and system, thinking that it would fix the problem. Now i can not get into recovery mode and factory reset doesn't work and my phone is not being recognized by my PC. Anything i press in bootloader just reboots my device back to bootloader. I also locked my bootloader with the command "fastboot eom lock" i was experimenting and now i can not unlock it it say "relocked". What do i have to do to fix this?

If you place a Sense ROM PH98IMG on an external microSD card, does it install? Try that.
I cant seem to find an PH98IMG that will work. At this point do i have to flash boot or install an OTA (3.14.605.12)
I can not flash anything from the recovery. I also can not find an PH98IMG that would work at this point. the only think that im able to do is to get into bootloader which is relocked and i have s-on.
Do i need to unlock my bootloader to get into recovery?
How do i reinstall the whole system file?

You are on current OTA firmware, and you said you were S-On so you can't RUU, there isn't one available and you can't go down a version.
You need to unlock your boot loader, get a ROM zip (any stable ROM will do, but I suggest Tachyon or Infection), download TWRP/CWM/PhilZ recovery, and you will need working adb/fastboot on a Win7/XP machine (Win 8/8.1 will not work).
Extract boot.IMG from ROM and recovery.IMG (name might vary) from recovery zip and place them in the directory with fastboot. Now start phone and fastboot and boot recovery with 'fastboot boot recovery.img', now in recovery wipe/format everything except external microSD, then Install/flash ROM zip. Reboot.
If you follow these instructions it should just boot now.
If you want stock, there is a ROM zip that the complete stock image with root applied in the development forum, its a page or two back though.

Custom recovery, you need one, not all three... To wipe/format partitions and install custom zips
