So, I've been stuck for 2 weeks at this point now and decided now is the time to ask for help since I've run out of ideas. :/ 2 weeks ago my rooted HTC Thunderbolt had finally been forced to update, I was too lazy at the time to block the update properly with the root tools. But back to the main topic, it forced the update and was done incorrectly. I reverted back to a previous backup and rom due to the issue. Now comes the biggest thing that screwed me. I figured why be rooted anymore? Just go to stock and be al fine and dandy and call it a day. No, of course it's not that simple, nothing ever is. In the middle of the unrooting with Revolutionary my computer crashed on me! So my phone had been left unrooted but without the installation of the firmware. Now when it boots, it's "**LOCKED**" and "**S-OFF**" So I can't force it to install any roms of any sort to reattempt everything. So basically I'm not able to boot beyond fastboot/hboot. Is there any possible way around it? I really can't afford to buy a replacement right now. I'm starting school again in a matter of days and need every dollar just to buy my books for this semester. Please somebody save me :[
Try running an Ruu to see if that will work. That may actually work for you.

It didn't work. At the end of its attempt it said, "Update Fail! Main Version is older!" So do I need to just find the original RUU?

That sucks. That means your hboot isn't going to allow you to downgrade. Can you run HTCdev bootloader unlock or the revolutionary tool and try the Ruu again? If not you could try finding the ics pg05img Santod posted a long time ago. That's the only thing I can think of off the top of my head that might work.

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

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.

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.

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

This will only be useful to the people who have S-OFF or who have already done the official update right? You'd probably save yourself and others some headache by mentioning that. I'm sure you're gonna put in all the details when it's ready, I'm just saying.

I am very looking forward to downloading this ROM since I did not really
want to re-lock my bootloader.
But i just wanted to ask, is there anyway I could install your upcoming rom
without getting the S-OFF? is it a requirement?
i skimmed thru some of the s-off instructions and became speechless
after seeing sticking the wire on the back of the unit.....too much for me i guess lol
i miss the old days when my mytouch 4g was so easy to s-off.

Well you have to do one of those two you just mentioned
S OFF or Relock bootloader and apply the update that way
i would recommend do the hboot method if you are scared of S OFF,
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using Tapatalk 2 Beta-5
thanks for the prompt response.
so what you are saying is: either way, I would have to update the ph85img with hboot
to install your rom?
would it be impossible to flash a rom from GB to ICS without going thru the hboot process?

yes if you have S OFF, no otherwise
You have to install the new hboot to install the NFC, people were having problems with it failing or something along those lines.

S-off is required because there is a new radio , and s-off is needed for that, don't worry about the wire thing, just be careful and follow the instructions and you should be fine, so far I've seen only one person that has bricked the phone

If no s=off, can they still unlock bootloader with ics ROM? I heard that was causing issues. And people were unable to get s=off since drunkenbear was designed for GB. I could always be wrong

Too funny! Because that's what literally was happening..but it actually was pretty easy if you read what NOT to do...lol watch the video someone posted. And remember you don't wait 17 secs you wait 1.75 secs. So ALMOST 2 seconds to tap the ground side again after the first tap.
Wait....I sent this with Tapatalk?
I am currently running ICS firmware/radio/hboot with CleanRom 4.5 and CWM Recovery. I am S-OFF and need to send my phone back (AGAIN!) due to the proximity sensor not working properly. I've looked around and believe all I need to do is run the GB RUU and I will be back to out of the box stock.
Is that accurate? Will the RUU change my firmware/radio/hboot, and remove the custom recovery? I know I need to follow the steps to S-ON at some point, but when?
Thank you all in advance for your help and have a blessed day!
Run the ruu once or twice. Exe version is greatly preffered in this case. Then S-ON the phone and you will be good to go.

I'm not rooted as the OP is, and my issue ended up being my phone just wasn't charged enough. Turns out it needed to be around ~85% charged before it would start for me. Maybe worth a shot if you haven't tried that yet?
What are some things we can now do with this phone we couldn't do before? I went ahead and downloaded Rom Manager. What else can we do?

Soff really has no impact on more/newer roms or developers coming to a phone
It makes things significantly easier to flash, allows you to flash older radios and ruu, no need to relock to update or worry about an update relocking your phone
anyone know the file name that we can use to flash us some splash screens now? i need to be up on that
Looking forward to changing that splash screen. We can include kernels with the correct modules that will get flashed with the ROM now. I don't think that was working before.
