Ok, so I got my rezound today and the first thing I did was unlock the bootloader because of the factory reset, I didnt want to adjust any settings just to wipe them out. So i unlocked the bootloader and everything was smooth. Then I rebooted my phone and then tried to install Amon Ra via the guide in the development section. I did everything to the tee but the phone never rebooted automatically so I manually rebooted and then powered down. I deleted the PH98IMG file from my sd card (which was for the 1.02.605.6 version) Then I tried to access the Recovery via the volume down and power buttons. When it looks like the recovery is going to load but I get an image of a phone with an exclamation point inside of a red triangle ...???? So i booted my phone back up it would no longer connect via USB mounting as storage, I tried everything from formatting the SD card to factory resetting, to rebooting my computer. No idea why that all of a sudden my USB would not connect, I get a CD ROM auto play notification with a white square with VZ inside of it, WTF!?! Ok, also I cannot update to the newest software version. I even relocked but when my phone says checking for new software it just dissapears and nothing happens. This is so frustrating, I just wanted to install Amon Ra to perm root so I could install cleanrom but apparantley im doing something wrong and I have no idea, just trying to follow directions, theres just so many files and im not sure if I have the right ones
I tried to install Amon Ra with the AIO by Hasoon but all I get is a command prompt with this in it
'C:\Users\User\Documents\Desktop\HTC' is not recognized as an internal or extern
al command,
operable program or batch file.
C:\Users\User\Documents\Desktop\HTC ReZound\AIO Toolkit\Rezound_All-In-One_Kit_V
1.0\data>
Also, I charged my phone for like 2 hours when I got it, briefly powering it on twice, the battery light is still orange and the meter under about phone/battery is full and it still says charging???
EDIT: My device is connecting via USB all of a sudden magically....

Did you installed htc sync in your computer?
Sent From My Optimized Blasting 4GLTE ReZound
Yes I had to have the drivers installed to unlock it.... One more thing, I just did the oneclickroot method and it says that I now have perm root. I thought the one click was just a temp root. So I factory reset and still had root. Got the tether up and running now I just need to figure out how to install a recovery so I can flash roms.

That's interesting...
Anyways about recovery. Did you try pushing the recovery.img with adb commands? In fastboot?
Sent From My Optimized Blasting 4GLTE ReZound
Yes definately do it from fastboot. I just makes things to much easier.
Also I would apply the OTA before you get to far into the setup process as it will require you to relock your phone to get the new radios from Verizon.

I did relock my phone "fastboot oem lock" from fastboot...it verified that it was "relocked" at the top. Then I tried to boot up the phone and checked for new updates and it searched for about 20 seconds and then just dissapeared and did nothing, just like when it was unlocked. I'm nervous to do anything to this thing now, i tried to restore a backup of apps that I had backed up from my Droid X, and it stuck at the boot logo, I've had to factory reset a handful of times already trying to figure this thing out. I just spent 2 hours re downloading all the apps I had. I suppose I would make a new backup before I try anything else.
Ok first of all you should never do a restore from a phone other than the one you are restoring to, that is just asking for problems.
Next, google RUU_Vigor.
You want the 2.01 version. This will give you the update and wipe your phone clean as if you had just taken it out of the box, meaning it will delete all your data.
After it is complete you can download the Amon Ra img file. Place that in the same directory that adb and fastboot are in. Rename it to Amon_Ra.img. Get your command line to the folder that you have fastboot in and then type this command, "fastboot flash recovery Amon_Ra.img" (without the quotes)
You now have the update and Amon Ra loaded on your phone. Boot into recovery and install su from the developer menu and boom you are done. Phone rooted.

Ok, awesome. This sounds doable except installing the RUU, I found the file and its downloading now but how do I install it? I notice it's a zip file but do I extract it and install the contents of it via fastboot as well? Or is there a way to flash zips with the stock recovery menu? Also, I am guessing a backup would be wise before this and the current version of Amon Ra is 3.14, the one titled "recovery-ra-vigor-3.14-gnm.img" . Just rename it to Amon_Ra.img, place it in platform-tools of my SDK files and install via fastboot?
Also, isn't there a newer RUU? A leaked 3.10.605.13? I have seen that ROMs are based off it but I cannot find the actual file anywhere...
No. The RUU is for official releases only. If you're getting the PHzip file of it then just put it on your ext sd card and it will run in bootloader. Just boot the phone and it will find it. Then make sure to delete that file when it's done so your phone won't find it every time you boot.
If you download the exe file then you run it on your PC by double clicking on it and will need HTC.sync installed.
As to Amon Ra, personally I don't like to rename files I've downloaded from a dev so they don't get lost and disorganized. It's up to you, but you don't have to rename it to flash it, just type the name it has exactly. People rename it for easier typing I guess so if you do that I would suggest at least keeping the version number in the name.
Then after you flash Amon Ra, navigate to its developer menu and install su and then you'll be rooted.

Ok, so I factory reset my device after making a backup with mybackuppro, relocked my device and placed the 3.54mb PHzip from scottsroms website onto the root of my SD card, booted up into bootloader, it checked the file and then nothing. Rebooted the phone and checked the software version, nothing changed. I dont see how something so simple is so frustrating.....I could try to download the larger file thats like 449mb but its titled "Stock Rooted ROM - Vigor - WWE 2.01.605.11.zip" from scottsroms website and its not a PHzip. Should I rename it PH98IMG.zip? then try that?

If you really want to start fresh you need to grab the RUU. That is the official release from HTC and will put you completely back to stock. Get it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22045045&postcount=58
I recommend going the RUU route to be certain you get your phone wiped clean. When I ran it for a fresh start it got rid of old folders/files that flashing a ROM did not. Here's some instructions I posted for someone before:
5) Download the RUU for your mainver to your computer.
This is an exe file so just run it on your pc with your phone attached. You need to be locked and you need HTC Sync installed. Now you are back to stock.
5a) Unlock your phone again using the same unlock bin file you got before by putting it in the same folder you are now using for sdk. Type the following command:
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
If you don't have it obtain a new one by following the same steps you did before to get it originally. Here is a guide for that:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20780879&postcount=1
Now you should be stock and unlocked.
6) Flash Amon Ra in fastboot. Get the lateset version, 3.14.
Type the following command to flash it:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-ra-vigor-3.14-gnm.img
Now you should have Amon Ra on your phone.
7) Root your phone by installing su using Amon Ra. Go to the developer menu and find the option in there.
Now you should be stock, unlocked and rooted.
8) MAKE A NANDROID BACK UP NOW AND LABEL IT.
9) Flash a new ROM.
If you use that Stock Rooted ROM, just place it on your ext sd card, then go into Amon Ra and navigate to "flash from zip file" or something like that and select that and it will flash in recovery. Mostly kernels are renamed PHzip and will flash in hboot.

That smaller file you downloaded was most likely just a kernel.

Ok, now I see. I think I had to install an older version of Amon Ra since my software version was older. I succesfully installed Amon Ra 3.10 and installed su and superuser, now I see that I can just flash zips from the menu much like CWM recovery on my Droid X. Now I just have to figure out why my f&%!ing router keeps dropping to local only every 5 minutes, it won't stay connected long enough for me to download an RUU file that size...
So if I flash the zip from scottsroms website do I have to put the kernel on the memory card as well so that it flashes correctly? Thats assuming that the PHzip file is the kernel
Do you have a link or know where I could find an all in one zip file so i dont have to mess around with seperate kernels...a zip that i could flash that has the basebands and everything, i would use the RUU that you posted a link to but its an exe and im not sure what to do with that...
Yes, you need to flash the kernel separately for that.
There is a thread for another stock ota ROM by con247. He has the update packed into it so it will flash the ROM then take you to hboot to flash the update. You need to lock your phone before flashing the update to get the new radios.
So...
Put ROM on sd card
Flash in recovery
When you get to bootloader put phone in fastboot and connect to PC
Relock phone
Flash PHzip in hboot
Unlock phone
Flash Amon Ra if needed (can't recall if you'll have stock recovery now or not)
Install su
The RUU is really easy. Just download it to your computer and double click on it. just have phone locked and HTC sync installed.

I think I may be slightly confused. The RUU is the update right? I just want the most current OTA update with the latest basebands and any bugs that were worked out in the January OTA...Once i'm updated I want to flash a ROM, or do I not need to update in order to flash ROMs? I wanted to check out the newest cleanrom but it says its based off of a leaked software version so idk really where to begin with that one...
The RUU is the complete ROM/kernel/recovery with updates, as long as you get the 2.x one. It will get you stock updated with a factory fresh phone.
You can also get stock with the update from the con237 Stock OTA ROM, which is different than the RUU at that link that con247 also posted.
You do need to update if you want the latest radios.
Are you downloading to your computer? Perhaps you can download to your phone using 4g? Or 3g if you don't get 4g where you are.

So I tried to run that RUU exe with my phone plugged in although my PC would not pick up my device and an installshield popped up and looked like it was loading something, but then it dissappeared and nothing happened. So I uninstalled the HTC drivers along with HTC sync and then reinstalled them. My device was then recognized by the computer but something calle TL-bootstrap wanted to install. I just ignored it. So with the phone plugged in I tried to run the RUU exe again and the same thing happened, nothing...
I recently went to change my ROM on my HTC amaze, but after I was finished installing it went to reboot and ever since no matter what I do, it just stays on the white htc screen. The only thing I can get to is into Recovery. I locked boot loader and unlocked it and after doing so I noticed it said S ON. How do I turn s off while stuck in recovery mode? Im using the ZurgRushTemp root but it says that I need my phone in usb debugging mode and I dont know how to do that in recovery mode. If I sound like a total idiot it's probably because I am. Previously I have unlocked boot loader and rooted my phone and downloaded other roms and it worked fine. I have no fricken clue what happened. Please help me.. How do I s off to install another rom while I can only get into recovery mode?
What recovery did you flash?
If its not 4EXT then you need to flash the kernel using fastboot.

Then after that what? And do I want to flash it to stock telus kernal aswell? Goddamnit did I mess up big this time.

just get the stock RUU for your phone. Re-lock your bootloader. Rename what you downloaded to PH85IMG.zip. place it in the root directory of your external SD card. reboot your phone into HBOOT and it should automatically flash the stock recovery and ROM. this WILL wipe your phone clean. then you can unlock the bootloader, root it, flash a custom recovery then a ROM of your choice.

Unlocking the bootloader won't change your phone into s-off. So, what you see is correct.
Forget about ZergRush. It won't work, or necessary at all if you unlocked your bootloader, anyway.
Edit: I forgot to mention. Try 'adb logcat' to see if your phone even gets to the boot sequence. If you see your screen gets filled up with tons of stuff, hit control-c to stop it. Then enter adb logcat > logfile.txt to capture it. You can post it here for someone to take a look.
If you can get into bootloader and/or recovery, your phone isn't in a bad shape at all. If you can access your phone from a pc with adb or fastboot (which, you should have if you've unlocked your bootloader), there are things you can try.
1. boot your phone into recovery and see if you can access it through adb shell. Do you see a shell prompt ('$' or '#' sign)? On the phone, use the mount option to mount system and data partitions to see if they are mountable. You can use 'ls -l' on the shell prompt to look around, if you like.
2. If your phone is accessible, but not bootable, the first thing I would try is to flash a boot image. You probably have one sitting in the pc folder you used to unlock, or hanson's all-in-one tool has it.
3. If you flash a fresh boot image (kernel) and the phone still won't boot up, the next thing I would try is to restore from a nandroid backup. I'm sure you've made a backup before you started, right?
4. If the nandroid restore doesn't work, you can try flashing a stock rom like someone elese suggested. You just copy the zip file, which you download from the stock rom thread in the dev section, to the external sd card, rename it to PH85IMG.zip, and reboot your phone into the bootloader. The phone will detect the stock rom if it's there and asks you whether to install the update or not. Remember to download the correct file for your carrier.
5. If nothing works, come back here and post your result. I'm afraid your phone may have a corrupt nand memory...

You used the wrong image, went about using that ota file incorrectly as well, Oh boy, ite, let's keep our fingers crossed on this.
You said your hboot was 1.93.0002? Correct? If you're s-on, this may or may not work, lets hope it does, since's it practically your only hope, though I wonder what your cid currently is set to.
Since you did s-off, you should know how to use adb. Shut the phone off via battery pull, boot up into hboot then go into fastboot, using adb check your cid via this command: fastboot getvar cid
Let me know what it is when you're done, we'll work from there, hopefully we can get this done.
sorry, forgot to pull sd card so it ran the PH85IMG twice,
the cid is
11111111

Cid is 11111111 and you're s-on? Lucky you, well download the mobilicity GB stock ruu exe file, reboot into fastboot and run the file to restore your phone to complete stock GB, hopefully it goes through, though I don't see why it wouldn't, if you're s-on, you'll have to relock your bootloader before doing this.
Thanks! hopefully it'll work
downloading the GB rom from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27704071
going to relock bootloader with the amaze tool.
going to change the RUU to PH85IMG then pray it works!
I'll post an update in this thread, unfortunately the rom takes about 4 hours to download from file factory

You can download the ruu from the ruu/ota thread in the same forum, the dev host upload by krook is much faster.
Do not change the name of that file, it's an exe file, you have to run it via a pc with your phone connected via usb cable in fastboot mode.
Anyone that could help me out with this, I would be so grateful. I am new at this, this is my very first post, and I'm looking up to you guys as my super hero! I have checked threads for the past 7 hours and cannot find out how to fix the following problem. I have found threads addressing similar issues but always find something that is slightly different and cannot help, I think I have a unique situation.
In a nut shell, my current objective is to restore the phone back to factory settings.
-Phone WAS running on Sense 3.6, ICS 4.0 <-ICS came preinstalled with the carrier
- I succesfully rooted the phone via the 'Hasoon Amaze all in 1 kit', downloaded 4EXT 1.0.0.5RC3, and tried to load the Cyanogen CM 10 jellybean rom
-Where it was stuck on the Cyanogen splash screen
-Figured out it was because my phone was set to S-ON via the bootloader screen, which HTC prevents cutsom roms from loading apparently
-Could not figure out how to remove the CM10 rom from automatically loading up, so I figited around in the 4EXT, and wiped everything
-Current Rom (according to 4EXT is 'Unknown')
Where I am right now:
- Stuck at HTC splash screen
- Only things I can access is the bootloader and 4EXT ( via battery out, volume down at restart)
-Cannot connect the through USB to modify the anything on internal SD card (I cannot access the phones internal drive through the computer)
-Cannot access SD card through 4EXT (it cannot locate it)
-I have tried to factory reset from the bootloader screen - takes me to 4ext. I have tried to factory reset from 4ext, takes me to the frozen HTC logo.
-With not being able to connect via USB, I cannot load anything else (zip files) onto the phone from the computer.
I have no idea what to do now Did I delete some important factory recovery file when I wiped the phone from 4EXT?
The idea was, that I'd install Jellybean as a ROM, I don't like HTC sense, I wanted google now, and I failed. I would REALLY appreciate it IF you can help and are in Toronto, beers on me.

since your phone came ICS preinstalled it'll be a lil easy choose the correct carrier and download the Latest stock ruu from there and Rename the RUU to PH85IMG.zip and place it on the root of your external sd card. Once this file is on the SDcard, do a battery pull, then turn the device back on while holding down the VOLUME DOWN button.once your in bootloader it will prompt you to install, select yes and then it'll flash then flash 4ext after that..when your flashing another rom always run this super wipescript from 4ext..it is IMPORTANT to do a full wipe before flashing another rom..

Hey Ravike - thanks so much for taking the time to help me out. Remember, I am new, so please correct me if I am wrong understanding what you mean in this solution. Do you mean to say to follow these steps;
1) Get an external SD card from a store (I do not have one)
2) Find a way to load the said .zip file on to the External SD card (I cannot transfer the file from computer directly to the external SD card via phone USB connection as it is not showing up as a mounted drive in My Computer - I would have to have a friend put the file onto it some other way), then insert the card into the phone
3) I am a little curious about this one -- And once the file is on the external SD card, load bootloader (on the phone) and bootloader will automatically recognize that this file is on the external SD card and prompt me to install it? (Again I am new, but from what I've seen it just doesn't seem like bootloader has that kind of functionality -- prompting)
4) If step 3 is true, it will end up putting me into 4ext.
-If you confirm these steps, then what happens after I end up in 4ext after step 4)? What happens and where am I in my quest to reset to factory
-If you do not confirm these steps, would you be so kind as to detail where I went wrong?
I just want to as sure as I can before going out to a store and actually buying an external SD card.
Again, thanks SO much for this, I really do appreciate it.

1.yup you have to have a sd card dont buy a huge one even 2GB is enough (i'm using a 2GB for flashing n stuff)
2.well try the option called ''toggle usb storage'' from 4ext it mounts your int n ext sd card on pc aswell if it doesnt work then ask one of your friends or take a card reader or something?
3.well when you boot into bootloader most of the times your in fastboot mode so make sure your in the right mode the option you should be seeing will appear as ''fastboot,recovery,factory rest,clear storage,simlock image crc'' simply all you have to do is go to bootloader option and press power button
4. try it first :good:
Soubds like you dont have smartflash enabled in 4ext... or did I miss that part somewhere?

Hey Again. Still stuck. Just a quick note that my carrier is Mobilicity. Here is what I've done so far since we last talked.
1) I got an external SD card
2) I loaded the file within the link you gave me "OTA_RUBY_ICS_35_S_DAVE_CA_2.14.1800.6-1.45.1800.2_R_release_263099viknauioz1fkgotb.zip" ,and renamed it to "PH85IMG.zip", as you said (I think - this is the zip file in the link Latest stock ruu you provided under Mobilicity) on the root of the external SD card
I note that there is another file in that link under mobilicity named "RUU_Ruby_DAVE_CA_1.45.1800.2_R_Radio_1.09.550L.11v 2DC_30.67.550L.09_release_227348_signed.exe"
3) Bootloader recognized there was a file there and tried to work it's magic but it failed and took me back to boot loader.
Which file do I rename to PH85IMG.zip? The exe or the zip? And what to I do with whatever file happens to be the one that I am not renaming to PH85IMG.zip? And where do I put it?
To answer the other fellow - I have tried enabling smartflash either way. And the CM10 rom is gone now. So is the stock rom. There is no rom running at all. It's just the HTC logo screen and does nothing. I can access Bootloader screen and 4ext through bootloader, but that's it.
THANKS!!!

Thanks Ravike! Still stuck though brother!
1) How to I 'relock the bootloader'?
2) I'm soooo new, what do you mean by 'flash it'? What's the procedure for flashing in this situation?
3) Also, what do I do with the other exe file or is it not important?
4) Is there any settings in 4EXT I need to ensure are on, or mounted or enabled?
Other things to note (may be useful for answer):
- When I rename the zip to PH85IMG.zip and go into bootloader, the following shows up in HBoot:
ph85diag.zip no image!
ph85diag.nbh no or wrong image!
PH85IMG.zip loads up, a blue progress bar eventually finishes, then it says
PH85IMG.zip ... checking
PH85IMG.zip ... parsing
Then it brings me back to the default bootloader screen and back to where we started. This may be where your solution of flashing comes into play of 'relocking' and 'flashing'? I don't know, hope you do!

Okay, somewhat good news (I think)...
I did manage to relock the bootloader in fastboot using the all in one toolkit. It looks like yes, it will send commands via fastboot mode.
In HBoot, It did something differently this time....
It used to say:
ph85diag.zip no image!
ph85diag.nbh no or wrong image!
PH85IMG.zip loads up, a blue progress bar eventually finishes, then it says
PH85IMG.zip ... checking
PH85IMG.zip ... parsing
Now it says:
ph85diag.zip no image!
ph85diag.nbh no or wrong image!
PH85IMG.zip loads up, a blue progress bar eventually finishes, then it says
PH85IMG.zip ... checking <-----this time with a yellow progress bar
Then it takes me back to the bootloader screen.
- tried to hit recovery (which usually takes me into 4ext, and it reboots the phone and back into bootloader)
-Factory reset also reboots the phone and back into bootloader
-If I go into fastboot, and hit reboot it also reboots the phone and back into bootloader
-At one point, I saw the yellow status bar on the HTC logo screen and it took me back into bootloader
-Each time it goes into bootloader, it follows the process of detecting the zip file mentioned above, but then it ultimately puts me back into bootloader
So now, here is where I am,
-The bootloader is relocked
-HTC logo/splash screen no longer freezes, yellow progress bar appears in top right corner and puts me into bootloader
-Cannot seem to access 4ext anymore
-Able to send commands to phone via All in 1 kit 3.2 with phone connected in Fastboot mode
-RUU zip is on External card, which gets read in Hboot, but throws me back into bootloader mode
Keep 'em comin' boys! I'd be so grateful if we could solve this! Are we almost there yet? LOL

I replaced my digitizer and screen a few days ago and all was working well. After turning the phone off and on a few times over a couple of days it was still working great. Then I tried to start it and got the htc splash screen and then black. I pulled the battery and booted into bootloader. It gave me several error messages looking for (I think) PH98DIAG.ZIP and not finding it. I have tried to reinstall TWERP 2.6.3.0 using fastboot usb and get a message that installation was successful, but I cant access TWERP in bootloader. I have tried FACTORY RESET with no improvement. If I start the phone and get past the htc screen, it gets warm and the battery eventually runs down, so SOMETHING is running.
I also tried to install TWERP using the adb flash_image method and my phone is not recognized. Of course both methods require usb debugging mode to be switched on and I can't get there.
I was running Infection 8.2.1 and TWERP 2.6.3.0. Rooted, S-on, bootloader unlocked (of course).
Any suggestions?
This is our most desperate hour. Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope.

1) The looking for files and not finding any is normal.
2) What's it doing when you try to go into recovery? Just a blank screen? You may want to try installing the recovery using the PH98IMG.zip method if you have access to a card reader to get the file on your SD Card. - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1902381
Download the attached file in that thread, rename it to just PH98IMG.zip, place it on the root of your SD card and go into the bootloader, it should find the file and ask you to press volume up to install it. If it goes successful, remove the zip file then try to get into recovery from the bootloader again.

I tried that. Bootloader only searches for PH98DIAG.ZIP, doesn't find it and goes black.
@geronimo48 Are you S-Off...if so when you boot into bootloader and can access the fastboot usb from there i can give you the RUU.exe files you run in windows that factory restores your phone from the pc
My phone is S-ON. I kept it that way to make sure I wouldn't brick it .
Thanks for trying.

nope...your soft bricked and need access to rom to change a few settings in that and have it running before starting the process...i may have a fix for you..PM me if you can
Hi there. So im a huge noob and could use an experienced persons help. I have this Amaze 4G that i unlocked bootloader for, had running Android 4.3 Evervolv rom and all was well. I then needed to sim unlock and the code didn't work and I read I needed to unroot and flash stock. I'm trying to do just that using Hasoons toolkit but can't get much help since the thread is closed. My HBOOT is 1.93.0002 and I try to do the Mainver Error fix and It says device not found. I definetly have the drivers updated as I had to go through all that just to have my device detected in fastboot. I wan't to flash stock Telus RUU. Can anyone please help me?
-Note I also accidentally relocked bootloader without downgrading or unrooting. I quickly unlocked it again, but my device was wiped so I can't boot into any rom. I only have 4EXT recovery and bootloader/fastboot available. I am S-on. Can anyone point me or describe a step by step process to get unrooted or and flashed to stock telus? I will gladly donate $$ for any helpful info as well!

First let's take things one step at a time. If s-on you should still be able to run any of the source built AOSP ROMs like evervolv, PAC, or CM. So if you want to get your handset up and running all you need to do is just push one into your SD card either in recovery or with an adaptor on your PC. Just download one of them to your PC. If you have adb working on it when you enable usb debugging in recovery you'll have access to both your internal SD partition and your SD card. Then just copy the zip to one of them. Then turn off the usb and flash the ROM as usual. Once your phone is back up and running you can read the threads to find out what you need to do the other things you want on your device.
I hope this helps

Thanks for the reply man! That's the thing i have a few issues. First off i can't mount storage via 4ext recovery it always just says failed. I also have no SD card to load a ROM onto. And even when i was up and running i couldn't unroot. I have the toolkit and every guide says to hit mainever fix but my device was never recognized even though i have all the drivers
In recovery format your internal SD then reboot back into recovery. This should allow you to at least be able to mount it. It's file system probably got corrupted while you were monkeying around. Then follow the instructions I posted above. This should at least get you back up and running. For the other procedures you're going to need an external SD card, because you won't be able to flash the factory image from your internal storage unless you're familiar with adb. I don't believe you can do the mainver fix until after s-off, but I'm not 100% on that since I'm s-on and never tried it. Once you're back up and running then we'll try to proceed with the other steps.
This isnt a big problem man if you have recovery you can doo any thing and do as odysseus says
