this is what controlbear says...???
what am i doing wrong, never got a chance to even do the wire trick...
======== ControlBear 0.6 beta for JuopunutBear S-OFF ==========
Starting up......
Connecting to device...
Searching device.....
Found device.....
Backing up......
su: exec failed for /data/local/JuopunutBear -a -B Error:No such file or directo
ry
Transferring backups....
Secondary backup FAILED!!
Press ENTER to exit.....
Have you rooted your ROM? Not too keen on the S-off error messages but it looks like an error finding a directory because it doesn't have the root access given by superuser. Or I dunno, simply asking if you have rooted.
Do you have USB Debugging selected?
Also, make sure you run ControlBear as admin
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
Right-click the Windows .exe file to "Run as Adminstrator" by the way, as LunaticSerenade suggested. Gotta make sure you got privileges all around and communication haha.
yes to all
usb debugging is on, i assume i'm rooted because i am able to freeze system apps and titanium Bu says i am, and i am running control bear as administrator, question i do have is about adb drivers/fastboot drivers? i am installing htc sync now for the fastboot drivers then i will un install sync leaving the drivers behind. is there certain files i need in a folder to do this properly or just hook up phone w usb debugging and run control bear as administrator?
ControlBear should have everything.
If you have adb installed, use adb devices to see if it picks up your phone.
If it does, everything should be good. Make sure also you have the right version (GB or ICS).

my version is gb but i did download the ics version of control bear, thinking it was supposed to be the one i wanted not the version that my phone was using...i'll try and download the gb version....thank you
Happy to help! Hope it goes smooth for you!

well still reading same message to me....guess i'm going to give it a break for the night and try again later...thanks for ya'lls help, i'll get it one day sooner than later i hope
One last question for the night. Are you connecting the phone before or after running ControlBear?
Two, actually. Did the phone show up in adb devices?
[edit] ControlBear clearly sees your device. So never mind the adb thing.
You may want to flash a stock rooted GB ROM. That will remove some variables.

this sucks
it seems i've lost root...guessing it was a temp root and when i last rebooted, well i lost root. so i've been trying to root again or even try a perm root and cant seem to do it, tried hasoons toolkit for the permanent root flash but isn't working.
i need root again somehow, then use hasoons newer toolkit for s-off, can a country white boy get some help please??? I'm really missing my wifi tethering and missing even more the open garden app, my 4g is so much faster than my dsl connection at home. hahahaha, aint that some ****
I have three Rezounds & have never been able to get s-off to work on any of them although all three are rooted & work fine with ADB etc.
I don't really care at this point as I can still accomplish whatever I want, it just takes an extra step etc. (flash boot.img after a ROM flash etc)
could you shed some light on how i can obtain a permanent root? i would appreciate it, not used to not being rooted and having su permissions...seems like 50% of my applications require root privileges, lol

If your intentions are to run a custom rom then go ahead and flash one I'd the older gb roms, flash it and then try again

Were you ever able to flash a recovery?
I couldn't get the one-click root thing to work, but I had already unlocked the bootloader using the htcdev.com method. So I used fastboot to flash Amon Ra, then booted into that and chose the "install superuser" option, which does the root.

You can't use amonra to root on ICS. You just have to install amonra and flash a Rom they are prerooted.

Make sure you have the latest HTC driver installed. Use a USB 2.0 port, make sure that HTC Sync is not installed on your computer, and that your computer antivirus is off.
You can get the latest driver in the link below. Use the HTC driver from post #2.

Also, it may take a few attempts before Moonshine is successful. On the phone I recently Moonshined, it took a few tries before it succeeded, and I had everything set up correctly.

I've been running into the same issues! It keeps getting stuck on the second step! I've been following all your suggestions you posted in my other thread as well. At least it got me to the second step in Moonshine.
All HTC drivers were removed and the new ones were reinstalled. Computer and phone rebooted, USB 2.0 port, etc... I even went to another PC and ran into the same problems. I'll try it some more since you said it took a few tries.
Edit: Now it won't establish a connection to complete the first step in fastboot even though the PC keeps making sounds when fastboot USB gets turned on

You have to use a live CD with Dirty Racun if you are running Windows. To answer your second question, no, you can't use terminal emulator on your phone, either. Please be careful with what you're doing, otherwise you risk having an expensive paperweight in your hand. Personally I would have gone the Moonshine route It's Windows friendly and you don't have to fool with any commands, other then checking device connection with ADB & fastboot.

Yeah I know. I'm being really careful with everything - reading up before I do ANYTHING. I've done this to several phones before, but never had this much trouble...
Do you know if it's possible to still use Moonshine at this point? I've gone through every single step for DirtyRacun except for #14 which is to run RabiesShot. I have the RUU for 3.15 HBOOT 2.09 installed and running fine right now. If I can use Moonshine (and actually get it to connect to the device now), I would rather do that.

Make sure you're doing a full system wipe in recovery prior to flashing the ROM. You also might want to try opening a command prompt in your ADB tools folder while in the bootloader and type the command "fastboot erase cache" (minus quotation marks) and hit enter. Make sure you're connected via fastboot USB first.

Try the method I described in the thread I came up with this morning - if you're comfortable with doing everything. It wasn't too hard to do. I just had to convert the jargon into words I could understand.
Try using the Moonshine method first though! It's easy and straightforward - if it will recognize your device (which it wouldn't recognize mine for some reason).
Here's what I did.
Good luck!

I get the same error messages. For the update one, make sure your firewall and anti-virus are off. That solved mine. For the "Error run distiller again" issue, that's what brought me here. Pleases let me know if you solve this!

I think the "run distiller again and read" part means you pushed some buttons and otherwise touched or maimed your phone while Moonshine is working. I solved my issue. I was unzipping Moonshine to one folder then cutting the visible files out and pasting them to a separate folder. This left behind a hidden file. Solved problem by unzipping directly to my SDK platform tools folder which contains adb.exe and fastboot.exe. Worked first try. I'd already stopped firewalls, turned off anti-virus and tried to switch to usb file sharing during install (which is why I was told to "read". None of those were required this time. Never touched phone even though it was not in correct file sharing mode, and it still worked.
Its been 7 hours, time to ask for help. My wife cracked her rezound so bought one on Ebay. Both of us have had rooted rezounds for about 2 years (both s-off), keep getting "can't find a seat", install device and drivers", and "critical error" messages while trying juopunut (however you spell it) s-off. Have installed: HTC sync, adb manager (SDK blah blah blah), and all the "all in one tools" I can find. Going crazy. Currently unlocked bootloader, AmonRa, and installed super Su.

refer to my s-off guide here in the rezound q&a forums...the windows version.which im assuming your trying to use was ONLY meant for ICS and was removed because the windows version hard bricked one too many devices
Edit: as you are on gingerbread that too was produced by verizon and htc....same as pure stock ics....you can also get a non verizon sense based ics rom on here which runs much better than verizons gingerbread or ics
You think it would be easier to s-off with or without taking the OTA update?

You don't really have a choice here... You have Amon Ra (a custom recovery) so even if you take the OTA it won't install, OTA updates require a stock recovery.
The Windows S-OFF method will only work with ICS (there was no GB version), so you could install the 3.14.605.12 RUU first (this will give you a stable ICS version installed), but with the messages you are getting it sounds like you have a driver or USB issue, or perhaps Fastboot enabled (not the same as fastboot from the bootloader) or USB Debugging not turned on.
Be very cautious with the Windows ControlBear, @REV3NT3CH is correct, it was removed because it bricked a lot of phones, it was never stable... it works for most people, but there are circumstances that if put together correctly will brick you device permanently. You could try the Linux method, it is the only official way and there is a GB version on http://unlimited.io/juopunutbear.htm that will work with your device.
TBH, I'd not even bother. I'd look into seeing why ADB/Fastboot doesn't work right. First I'd uninstall HTC Sync (should have been called HTC Stync LOL).

Okay, well, here is where I get confused. When I s-off'd 2 years ago it was on gingerbread and I still have the old juopunutbear program so in theory everything should be the same. To my knowledge, I can't figure out a way to toggle debugging on GB. Oh, can anyone link me to (literally) from start to finish, every single download I will need to successfully s-off given the specs that I've provided that I'm working with? I would appreciate it more than you know because I must be doing something wrong. Thanks!!

If I may chime in...
Would it be okay if I were to dualboot a Linux image on my Windows PC to perform S-OFF? There wouldn't be any command errors or extra precautions, right?

I think(needs clarification) you have to fastboot flash boot.img, boot back into rom and try again.

I will be honest, I have used the Windows utility every time, it hasn't failed me yet, once I have gotten to that point and the wire trick failed, it should continue to prompt you to do the trick or tell you what to do... Just run ControlBear again, it should take you to the point where you do the wire trick again, if not, look at the ControlBear Troubleshooting page on unlimited.io

Actually, you are almost there... if you are stuck in Fastboot, try this from step #2, remember you are in Windows, so you might have to copy files into and issue the commands from the appropriate directory instead of using "sudo":
There are three ways to recover your ROM. Try each one in until you succeed:
Open the cmd prompt that is located in your ControlBear folder where you unzipped all of the files.
Type the following cmds into the cmd prompt.
1. ControlBear -r (This is run with the phone at the JuopunutBear/Arrow screen) If this succeeds recovery is complete otherwise continue to Step 2.
2. ControlBear -f (This is run with the phone at the fastboot screen). If this succeeds you're done otherwise continue to Step 3.
3. fastboot flash boot boot_backup.img
4. fastboot flash recovery recovery_backup.img (This is done with the phone in fastboot mode) If this succeeds continue to Step 5.
5. Boot the phone to android and install busybox from the market if not already installed.
6. sudo ./adb push sdcard.img /data/local/tmp/
7. sudo ./adb shell
8. $ su
9. # busybox dd if=/data/local/tmp/sdcard.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk1 conv=notrunc
10. Reboot the phone.

Will do. Why not the second one? Oh, and if I want to upgrade the radios for my rezound running tachyon should i only do 1 and 3 as well?

Okay so I have been trying to root and I have tried everything I can find.
I have a fully upgraded phone so Revolutionary won't work for me out of the box and so I am trying to HTCDev unlock.
The problem though, is that I can't get Windows 8.1 to recognize my device. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers multiple times trying to get it to work. ADB works fine and can see the Thunderbolt but fastboot will not.
Nothing I have found has changed anything.
I also have a laptop with Ubuntu, would that work better?
You need to do it from a Windows 7 or lower computer. In order for the bolt to be seen in fastboot on Windows 8 it would require an update to the fastboot drivers on the phone which is very very unlikely.

Would trying it in Ubuntu work? Although almost all the tutorials seem to assume you are doing it through Windows.

Yes it should. Although, to unlock, s off and root ics on the bolt revolutionary isn't going to work straight up. You will have to downgrade the hboot version in order to be fully unlocked.

The tutorial I am following is leading me through unlocking with HTCdev, and installing SuperUser, would I still have to downgrade and use Revolutionary?
Sorry, complete newb.

Before you continue with the tutorials can you verify what android version you have for me?
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using Tapatalk
Android version 4.0.4
HTC Sense 3.6
hboot 1.08
If any of that helps.

That is exactly what I needed to know. You need to go to infectedrom.com and use the guide that is there to unlock and s off. The problem with what you posted earlier is that even if you unlock with HTCdev your hboot is going to prevent revolutionary from working. You have to downgrade your hboot in order to use Revolutionary.

Can you give me a direct link? Because the one I was using last night from InfectedROM was just walking me through the htcdev unlock.
Edit: I found it...seems it has me load different things from the other one I was following.
It's the Lt. Belspur post. But I finally got fastboot to work! So it's looking promising. Thank you very much.

I see where you're stuck now. You can do it in Ubuntu but you may get stuck at some point. I would definitely recommend doing it using Windows 7.

Wrong forum. You should ask in the Kindle fire forums because I haven't owned one or even handled one in person for that matter. It might would help if you were on newer than xp. Vista at least. Idk though

Edit: I missed your other post, but that is exactly the tutorial I've been following. I'm near the end...see the following problem. :/
Okay, so I'm almost to the end...I'm to the point of putting the .19 ROM on my sd card and loading it into hboot.
What happens is that it recognizes it, loads it, checks it, and then goes back to hboot.
The suggestions from the post I am following say to try reformatting the SD card, or a different image. I have done both. Any other suggestions?
And by the way, thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate it.

Make sure you don't have the file named PG05IMG.zip.zip
Windows, by default, hides well known file extensions, so it may have gotten zip attached to it twice, one of which is not visible.
So remove the visible ".zip" extension and try again...

Done. Still the same result. Goes through loading the file, checking the file, and then just back to hboot.
I'm having the same issue. Does anyone have a GOOD copy of this Zip?
