Freshly pulled from my OTA-updated device and built as-is from stock.
Only thing I did was add su binary to allow root access. Didn't even install SuperSU (you can do that from the Play Store).
DOWNLOAD
I'm deodexing currently and will upload that version shortly as well.
DOWNLOAD - Deodexed
I'll also upload my rooted version of the OTA file (with firmware removed) which will allow you to flash the OTA with TWRP (but ONLY if your device has zero modifications to /system). You'll have to flash the boot.img through fastboot, which I will attach to this post (this version is signed, straight from the firmware zip).
Rooted OTA only Download
Confused about what this is, or what to flash? See this post by barleysoda which explains it very well.
Link is live, folks. If someone would be kind enough to make sure it actually works, I'd appreciate it .
Thanks captain!!
Downloading now. Thanks Captain!
Works for me. Thank you!
Deodexed version, and Rooted OTA now up as well. Go to town, lol .
Not that there's any reason to update to this version. A few minor changes are doubtful to have much of an effect. The firmware *might* make a difference, but that's in a different thread .
Sorry for the n00b questions, but:
What is the difference between the first link and the third link?
Is the boot.img required for all?
Thanks!

1st and 2nd links are full stock rooted ROMs. 3rd link is the OTA only, which will require the boot image to be flashed additionally. You have to be on stock 3.16 software for that to work, as it says.

Thanks for the fast reply!
Sorry, I'm used to just flashing the new nightly builds straight on AOSP.
Right now, I'm stock rooted, so I'd go for the 3rd one, right?
You can try it, I guess. But you'll have to flash the boot.img too, as I said. If it doesn't work just flash one of the full ROMs.
Did the update come with a new radio? If so can I have a link to it? Thanks. I updated through the bootloader. It asked me if I wanted to update once I put out pin my external sd card and renamed it. It said successful. But my radio didn't change.

To update the phone. I'd like to update the radios, and do I NEED to be on a stock Rom, instead of Bareback or a modified stock rom like SuperJelly, to update?
There seem to be 3 things to download, the Rooted OTA, the boot.img, and the radios on your MikMik page.
God I hate these OTA updates. Such a hassle, every damn time, but I want to have the latest updates.
And to try to prevent any further drop down the rabbit hole, I am s-off.

If you want to update your radios, hit up Captain's firmware thread in development and follow the instructions for updating. If you want the stock rooted ROM, download one of the stock rooted ROM's from this thread (the first two links). The ROM zips don't contain the new firmware, which is why you'll have to update that separately.

Hello all,
I'm a bit new with the Rezound, I was pretty experienced with the DInc2 and DInc before it, but I'm wondering something, I've looked around a bit, so apologies if I missed a thread, but I haven't found a straight up direct answer.
I have the latest ICS leak installed on my phone, I haven't rooted or s-off'd the phone just yet.... so what I need to know is:
1. Do I need to be S-OFF to flash the GB RUU so I can get the OTA when it releases?
OR
2. Will the phone still pick up the OTA with the leaked version of ICS since the leak is still an "official" build etc.
Hello, i'm also looking for same info, only i'm like a super noobie, I have an RUU, INSTALLED the HTC sync, which failed saying "waiting for boot loader" and that's all she wrote. So I think I need to do something to the boot loader, only what i'm not too sure.
Thanks.

Good question, not new to htc, I came from the tbolt, but if I run the latest ruu as a .img file through hboot, how would I get back to the stock gb rom that's currently on my rez, or will I be able to accept the ota while on the leak?
from my knowledge you will be able to ota to the release as long as it is a higher version that what the current leak is.
and if that fails you could s-off then gb ruu and then ota up.
I would like to go back to a nandroid backup of GB ROM that I had before I updated my firmware to the latest ICS leak. I can get it to restore & boot up, but I have no access to my sd card, so I have none of my apps. I feel like I've tried everything - nandroid helper, old firmware fix - but I don't know what to do next. Any suggestions?
In my trials to go back to a ginger bread RUU based firm ware, the process gets stuck at waiting on the boot loader, the phone is apparently not recognized. It is also not seen by the HTC sync.
the boot loader has been locked I don't know what to do next. It doesn't appear I can flash anything from fast boot menu.
Thanks for reading this far.

Technically you will need s-off to PH98IMG back to the January OTA or alternatively restore a nandroid, using con's nandroid helper and ....

Hello and thanks for your time looking into this.
I am on ICS Leak - and need to go back to GB - the thing is good but the battery is atrocious and it heats like anything.
So I went ahead and put the thing in boot loader and then ran the RUU after exiting the HTC sync. Now I am getting Error 140 - Boot loader version Error.
Ah the pain this phone is causing
I have one more question: Do I have to do this every time I want to go back to a previous backup (one that I did prior to updating to the ICS firmware)? If so, I'm wondering if it wouldn't just be easier to go back to GB firmware......
Ver Change for Error 140 - Android SDK CMD???
According to my research - I need to down the version using hex editor via ADB Shell. Dear God !
I have tried / installed SDK/ and Java Dev Kit. No Go - is there an app I can do this on the phone itself?
Thanks

Given I cannot downgrade back from HBoot 2.25.0000 is it not simpler to wait for the next RUU - whatever that is may over write this one?

You will need s-off to revert but as of hboot 2.25 it doesnt accept flashboot commands. Kinda stuck til a patched hboot gets released if you took the 5/7 leak.

Thanks for looking into this - so my option is to wait for a patched hboot 2.25 or wait for another RUU with an Hboot higher than 2.25.
I was wondering if I could install CWM recovery - and just flash myself an GB ROM. My issues with this ROM are overheating and battery chomping. I wonder if that will be helped with a GB ROM - supposedly more mature and efficient. If this can be done can you point me to a thread?

if you are experiencing root issues download chainsdd's flashable zip and flash in recovery and that should fix any binary issues which i believed was an issue with these ics roms, but i made sure to put the current stuff on it.
I just bought a used rezound and it is currently running cleanrom 3.7 which is the 3.11.605.1 build. Can I just flash this over top after wiping everything? I'm a newb to the rezound but not to rooting so please excuse me if this seems like a common sense question. Thanks.
Oh and I'm s-on but unlocked.

Actually, from your baseband version, you're on gingerbread firmware.
So you can either flash NeoMax with an old firmware patch, or update to ics with a RUU.
I recommend updating to ics firmware.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW
Yes update to the latest ruu first. It will make things so much easier. Be aware that you need to get everything off you phone before you start the process, it will erase everything except for what is on the external sd card.
And yes this qualifies you as a full blown n00b. Sorry.

yep, as stated by other memebers you are runing GB with ICS firmware patch. which is fine but your radios are out dated.
you have 2 options at this point.
option 1 is to update to the .12 ruu, the one before the global release. this will give you the ability to flash newer roms that are not built off the global release, which there are more options to flash. this method will keep you s-on and still enjoy all the wonderful roms out there.
option 2 is to update to the global ruu. this will give you the most up to date rom s, but the downside is if you want to go back to an earlier build of ICS like neo's non global rom you will need to s-off the device.
let me know what option you want and i can help you with a mini guide on updating.

I think 3.14 based roms still work on global firmware as long as you use the right kernel.
But nonetheless, it's always best to be on a rom matching your firmware.

Man you guys rock!
What reason is there to stay s-on other than it is a bit trick to achieve s-off? I think everything becomes easier once I am s-off? So maybe I should just but the bullet (or the paperclip so to speak) and do it.
ASOP looks so interesting - when that is out and stable I most likely will want to try it - does that change what I should do in any way?

Where do I get the latest ruu? The ones I found googling said you have to have a locked bootloader or be S-Off, neither of which I am.
And for my own info - what does RUU stand for?
Thanks,

You have to relock your bootloader.
Ruu stands for rum updater utility I think.

You will once you do the ruu.
But to lock you just boot into hboot and do the fastboot command " fastboot oem lock “

I think 3.14 based roms still work on global firmware as long as you use the right kernel.
But nonetheless, it's always best to be on a rom matching your firmware.

This can be done. But its harder for s-on to do it because of the mainv crap.

Alright - you sold me but don't I have to flash something before I go S-off?
Under prereqs here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1696394
Must be on a stock Gingerbread ROM OR The 3.14.605.5 ICS Leak <---- NO OTHER ICS LEAKS BUT THIS ONE!

When you s off, you have to be on a rom matching your firmware. So ics rom on gingerbread firmware is a no go.
Either flash a gingerbread rom, or update to ics firmware.

Again thanks to all taking the time to help - it is appreciated.
So I need to flash an updated firmware, I am sorry to be dense but firmware and rom are not the same? When I google 3.14.605.10 firmware download I get links to the OTA update that would seem to be the official rom.
Once I get that figured out I can Run Juopunut's S-OFF And then install any rom I want. .
I think.
Thanks,

Hello, Im pretty new when it comes to rooting/custom recoveries on Android. Today I got the notification that AT&T had a software update so naturally I grabbed it. I re-booted the phone but loaded into TWRP and the update didn't take. I researched a little and came to find out that you can't do OTA updates if you're running custom recoveries. My question now is what's the best way for me to get it? Im running the stock rom from HTC, I'm just rooted and have no desire to run any custom roms at this time (Such as Cyanogen or the like). I've looked around and seen a few .12 custom stock roms, but I've also seen the leaked .ruu file. Not sure how to proceed in terms of getting the update installed. All I really want it is the updated firmware along with my current root access. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am pretty noobish when it comes to this.
Best way is if you are stock rooted now is to flash the stock . 12 rooted that scrosler posted. You can flash without wiping if you want

Thanks for your help, I'll grab that. Just wasn't sure if there was a difference or not...will flashing with a program like ROM manager not wipe the phone?
Just flash from recovery. It doesn't wipe anything

No it's not hard at all, but as I said I'm not looking for any custom roms..simply wanted to remain stock with the latest firmware upgrade. Not sure if the the leaked .ruu that came out a week or so ago would accomplish this or not.

Ahh ok, thank you. When you say stock rom do you mean cleanrom that was posted by scrosler? Or is there a different one?
He posted a stock rom too

So the only way to do this is a new Rom? I located the update .zip in twrpd but it hangs on install. Is there any way to simply run the update?

no your phone will not pass the update check
Even though I have the update file already have the update zip? Sorry, I'm incredibly new to android and don't really know how the ota updates function. I just hate to flash a whole Rom for a 20 mb update.

why? the space it will take up on the phone will be the same.
Update OTA's aren't structured like rom's that are packaged for custom recoveries.
Update OTA's also check to make sure the necessary parts are already on the phone so they only update the changed files. If you have altered your device in any way, the OTA will fail. This is a good thing. Less support calls from users whose updates fail.
So my dna is s-off and rooted via moonshine (purchased used already like this)
Twrp recovery is installed and the ota is failing!!
I have searched for hours on how to return back to stock and find great info and I still don't understand it (obviously a newb)..
One thing I have installed on my windows 7 pc is the dna toolkit (will this get me back to stock?).
Can anyone point me to the most basic route to achieve this?
My wife thinks I'm crazy with the amount of time I have invested in trying to resolve this issue
Thanks, Matt
This may be a whole lot quicker of a resolution...
But you need a completely stock rom and recovery to take an OTA.
An OTA will not apply in a custom recovery.
None of the stock roms previously posted were clean enugh to accept the OTA that I could find.
So you would either have to use the decrypted RUU, take 5 OTA's and eventually get where you are going.
Or use the link I provided which is a clean enough base that it will allow OTA's to flash if desired in the future.(with stock recovery loaded)

I am a brand new DNA owner and not on Verizon so I can't get the OTA update. I plan to use it on ST via GSM. May I install your Rom above on a completely stock device that does not appear to be unlocked, s-off or rooted? And how would I go about doing that?

It may have been rooted at one time but I'm not sure since I bought it used. Thanks for any guidance on this.

You can check if it's rooted with Root Checker from play store.

Thanks. I just checked with Root Checker and I do not have root. So will Santod's rom provide root or is that a prerequisite to installing the rom?

You have to have recovery installed so you can flash his rom, so yes, you need to root it first, use moonshine method, then install on your phone something like flash img gui or even twrp, then get the twrp img. and flash it to your phone. After twrp is installed(after reboot into normal phone) you can download his rom to your phone and flash it using twrp again, it'll reboot into recovery automatically and install the rom .
Are you still needing help. No offense to the other guy but what he said made no sense.
Message me if so and Ill link to with everything you need.
