At some point during my flashing I ended up with kernel
"3.0.13-gaf15497-dirty
[email protected]#1"
I think it was with a BAMF ICS Rom.
Since then whenever I got to flash another kernel I get
Update failed. Main version older.
Its not a huge deal because the roms I have been flashing work with this kernel but Id prefer to use the recommended one.
Can someone explain what exactly is going on here and if it is a big deal or a way around it.
I had never seen this with my Dinc or Tbolt but both were S-off so I was able to flash in recovery.

I was hoping... I wish the first time someone came into the Rezound section they would be forced to read a thing that explains main version and how to fix it.
Make life easier and learn the fastboot method for flashing kernels.
Just take the boot.img file from the rom, put it on a flash drive or folder on your pc with fastboot.exe and adb.exe
Plug in you phone (adb drivers must be installed already) to your PC's USB port
Open a command prompt and navigate to the path where adb resides.
Type:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Then once the phone says "fastboot usb", type in come:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
After it flashes, reboot the phone and enjoy the new kernel.
Or, you can fix the main version error by searching for the thread. Its easy.

That doesn't actually fix the problem or fix the fact that it might not be possible to RUU if something happened.
Im sorry ok,
Geeze. It wasnt obvious to me at first look. I found it now.
I was also unaware this was such a common issue. Sorry so many have asked. Lesson learned.

Oh man I just shot soda out of my nose when I got into this thread.
Hey guys I just joined the site a few days ago after being sent here by some guys from some Audio forums, which is my main hobby. I guess you could say Im kind of a techy but am just now getting in to laptop building and things like that so I am still a newb. Anyways I just got the HTC DNA which I like quite a bit but Id like a little more out of it such as little better battery life, more customization, and to get rid of the bloat ware installed. On that note however I have never done anything much with phones since this is my first Droid after using Iphones which is why Im starting this thread...
I have been reading around and am still quite lost as to what I need to do to get what I wanted (battery life, customization, and to get rid of bloatware). I really like the ViperDNA ROM after watching the video but not sure if....
1. It will do what I want?
2. How to install it/make it run properly?
3. If there is something better?
So if you guys could walk me through what it takes to run something like that I would greatly appreciate you helping out some one new to this whole "Rooting" thing since this is my first Droid... If I can return the favor by helping out with your Car audio or talking guns with anyone Id be glad to!

I love the ViperRom! It has every customization imaginable and is very professional looking. It helps with battery life but you can use pretty much any kernel you want with a rom and that probably has as much or more affect on battery life. You need to be rooted and have adb installed on your pc - are you to this point yet?
Here is a good link by droidmodd3rx that walks through most things on video. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012346
Also did you accept Verizon ota update in the last week? If so I am not sure you can root yet, they will have to work out a new method for that.

This is my second Droid phone, but I am interested in rooting this beast (HTC DNA). But I think I might temporarily be out of luck as my Software Number is 2.04.605.2 71 ORD.
I'll sit tight if this is true, but once there is a rooting option for this update can someone PLEASE, please, please post a V-E-R-Y detailed and simplified method for rooting?
I have to do whatever it take to get rid of "DROOOIIIDDD" on start up. Seroiously, that is my primary reason for looking into this rooting business. I'm such a sad case

depending on what you named your directories are you going to the platform-tools directory? you need to type adb not adp, lower case not caps, and then there needs to be a command after adb. Try adb devices.

Well I got it unlocked finally but now when I go to flash the Recovery I just get an error... Sometimes the "emulator" one, "waiting on the device" , Or just cant the find file... Just doing it straight from the comand I open in the file or using Hansoon2000's tool...
Quick question
Hey, going to do a little thread jacking here. It seems like this would be the best place to ask my question. I'm a long-time iOS user that just switched and silly me accepted the OTA 2.04.605 update. Now, if I performed a hard reset wouldn't that put my software back to its factory settings and would allow me to unlock my bootloader? Sorry if this annoying just trying to make sure it'll work before I go through the hassle of restoring. Thanks for any help!

Your phone needs to be in fastboot for you to find it. Connect the phone, boot into the bootloader, enter fastboot, open a new command prompt, and try "fastboot devices". you should see the phone.
If you can't find the file then you're not in the right directory. Make sure you navigate to the folder that contains the file then run the command. (or you can just give it the full path to the file)

No, I don't think that'll help. The factory reset basically wipes memory and restores the original ROM. The OTA updates the radios / kernel. But don't quote me on that. I'll let a dev who knows better comment.

This question has been answered, but I thought I'd provide a little more detail to their answers:
On android, the memory is divided into several partitions (you might think of it like different disk drives), including a /boot, /system, and /data partition. The /boot partition is where the kernel (the heart of the android o/s) resides; the /system (where the bulk of the android o/s resides); the /data is where your apps and personal data reside. The /boot and /system partitions require system administrator level rights in order to change the information stored there (the system administrator account on android/linux is known as "root" or "superuser").
The update that came from VZW changed elements in the /system and /boot directories, using a superuser key to grant the update permission to change the files on those partitions.
Unfortunately, a factory reset only essentially re-formats the /data partition, wiping out all the user information stored there, but doesn't change the /system or /boot partitions.
The root process essentially hacks the device to gain system administrator rights to the android phone, using exploits in the android o/s. This is essentially a cat and mouse game. The update sent by VZW/HTC patches the exploits that were used to gain root access (that is why it is always dangerous to accept updates from VZW/HTC).
Hopefully the developers on this website will be able to find another exploit/weakness, and provide a way for those who have phones that have the update to obtain root, unlock the bootloader (another partition), and gain s-off (another level of turning a security flag to "off" so that even more partitions can be accessed/changed (ie.the /radio partition).

i don't know how any one is getting any of this done. i've been able to root, several times, install CWM, several times, but i can not seem to figure out how to boot into the fastboot, or into the bootloader so that i can use fastboot, so that i can unlock my bootloader. is there some magical secret that every one else in the world knows, except me???
i'm running v20d. i've got fastboot and adb installed on linux (debian), and i can shell into the phone via adb, and then substitute user* as root and delete bloat ware and every thing else - but i can't figure out how to boot into bootloader... i've tried "adb reboot bootloader" and "adb reboot-bootloader" (yes, the 2nd one is valid), but both just reboot the phone, then i see the CWM flashing lights, then it continues to boot as normal - a few times i got the dead droid icon.

LG prevents rebooting in bootloader on most phones, including this one. Entering fast boot with the script and running the command fails BC its not an official fastboot its user compiled.

i've been rooting and putting CWM onto it before i bother with the bootloader, but i wonder if you have to unlock the bootloader FIRST, because CWM or rooting wipes out some thing that's needed to get the bootloader to allow fastboot??? i dunno, just taking stabs in the dark now...

You're not the only one. I am also unable to unlock. I agree with omgbossis21 when he mentions that LG blocked access to fastboot. I tried several key combinations but none worked.
The bootloader is on this thing, though. The hidden menu shows the status. Has anyone tried asking LG tech support how to access official fastboot? It must exist in order for the techs to recover the damn thing.

Usually phones that don't have a key combo for fastboot you can delete main system partitions and it would start in official fastboot like my LG motion. Not on this phone though

So, the other night my Rezound slipped off a shelf and into the toilet. I pulled it out immediately, popped open the case and used a blow dryer on it, then stuck it in a bag of rice. The next day I stuck the battery in and it seemed to be working alright. Then I went to respond to a snapchat and found that the camera was not working. I thought maybe a simple restart might help, but the phone never restarted. I stuck it back in the bag of rice, thinking maybe their was still some moisture that could be pulled out. Today, after roughly 48 hours in the rice, I put the battery in, and it goes into the bootloop.
I pulled the SIM, tried going into recovery, factory reset, wipe cache, etc. Everything I can find on any forum does not work. I found a couple different PH89IMG.zip files, but after the bootloader analyzes them, it says that it can't do anything because they're older versions that what is on the device, which is "4.05.605.14 710RD" according to my wife's phone. I also downloaded the RUU, but the device has to be powered on for that to work, and it won't go past the white screen with green htc logo.
I would really love to resolve this without doing a factory reset, because there are a few things saved on the device itself that I can't really replace. Does anybody have any ideas for anything else I could try? Including maybe having the PH89IMG.zip file for the stock version of Android...
Is there a way that I could extract the PH89IMG.zip file from my wife's rezound, or utilize her phone in any way to repair my own?

You can edit the version.txt in the PH98IMG.zip to the same version as your wife's, that would get you around the mainver errors. Something tells me you did too much water damage and it's just dead though.

Thanks. I'll give that a shot. It was working the next day, but then stopped after a restart. And it was only in the water for maybe 2 seconds, max. My wife's phone fell in a pool before, and got pulled out about a minute later, then worked after about 48 hours in rice.

So editing the version listed in the .txt file made it so it didn't hang up on loading the file, but then it just refreshed the main bootloader screen. When I select fastboot, or go to restart the phone, it's still hung up in the bootloop :crying:

You can follow the instructions at htcdev.com if you haven't yet unlocked your bootloader. After following the instructions they provide for you, you can download http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1902381 and write it to the recovery partition via fastboot command. To finally flash it, make sure you're in the bootloader and you see "FASTBOOT USB". Hold the shift key and right-click, and click "Open command window here". Now place TWRP in the folder used to push the Unlock_code.bin (Contains fastboot.exe and is usually located at C:\Android or C\:fastboot) and type "fastboot flash recovery (name of recovery file).img. If you want, I can elaborate further.

This can be done on a Mac or Linux box as well, ADB is available for both, just substitute the appropriate filenames or commands for each OS.

So I finally got around to doing this, after buying a replacement phone off a guy on Craigslist, but I would still like to try and get this phone back up and running... I downloaded all the files and installed adb, etc. When I try to run the command, "fastboot flash recovery TWRP_2.6.3.0_Vigor_PH98IMG.zip" I get the following in the terminal:
sending 'recovery' (6323 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.464s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: image error! (BootMagic check fail))
finished. total time: 1.780s
Any other ideas??

You don't flash the zip, extract the file and flash the recovery.img file.

Wipe, flash a ROM, and manually flash boot image... Other than that, could be toast.

Can it be a stock ROM, or would it have to be something like CyanogenMod?

I think its irrelevant at this point... Personally, I would use EclipticRez v9 or Tachyon as they are both rock solid ROMs. EclipticRez includes an Aroma installer script, so it might be a little easier (select S-ON and Lunar kernel).

I actually found this thread earlier - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2632629 and followed the instructions, it was giving me some trouble around step 10 and kept going back into the bootloop. Then I tried it for probably the 5th time and it finally worked!! So the phone is back to full function now. I've been out of the house for a few hours, but it worked before your last reply literally right before I walked out the door.
Thank you SOOOO SOOOO SOOOOO much for the advice both on this thread and on that one I mentioned above (since it was also your instructions there)

The [semi] good news is that I found one on Craigslist (same phone because I really like it) for just $60 a couple days after I got fed up with using the OG Incredible. And the guy had 2 extra batteries, a case, and ghost armor on the screen as well. So now I have the original Rezound and the spare.
I typed a much longer story behind this and it got lost so this will be rushed >~<
Basically i had the tablet rooted with gapps and i wanted an app that works on all my other tablets but it said it was incompatible so i made a copy of build.prop and edited it and placed the copy back. Fast forward a couple days and i decide to put Safestrap on for custom ROMs. Safestrap works and once i tried to reboot into the stock ROM it would grey screen. I factory reset and that made things worse -_-. Now after searching google and the XDA forums i cant find a fix. i can get fastboot but not adb sideload in Safestrap as it says starting adb sideload forever and fails. i would really love if there was a fix for my problem as i really want to use this device. If i need to include extra info, please let me know.
P.S. sorry for the rushed post as im in a hurry
P.P.S. im also new to the forums so if im being an idiot about this then thats why

If you can't remember the build number, then there is nothing really what you can do. You can try using fastboot to flash a stock ROM back, but if that doesn't work then i'm not sure what to do.
