[Q] HTC Rezound stuck on white screen.... - HTC Rezound

My HTC Rezound is stuck on the HTC white screen. The bootloader is unlocked, but i wasn't able to finish the rooting process before I got this white screen. Can someone walk me through what I need to do? I can get to the HBOOT menu, but not sure what I need to do from here. Other threads said I need to re-lock the bootloader if I'm still in S-ON...but not entirely sure. Thanks.

How did you try to root?
You probably dont have a boot.img anymore... I would flash a ROM and its boot.img

I used a walk through on the unlockr website to root the rezound. I got to the part where you unlock the bootloader but then I gave up for the night and decided to do the rest the next day....but never got a chance...
Would you be able to explain how to flash a ROM and its boot.img? I'm sort of an amateur here..haha...I can get the phone into HBOOT and then get it into recovery mode...but not sure what to do from here....Thanks for trying to help, much appreciated!

Ok, i will backup... Download recovery and flash first, then use its file browser to see if you still have a ROM. Most likely you will have to flash a ROM, and when S-ON requires you to extract the boot.img and flash it manually.

Does clockworkmod work for the recovery ROM?

CWM or TWRP are custom recovery applications that allow you to flash ROM image zip files. You will need to select a ROM to flash as well. Place a copy of the recoveryXXX.img file in your fastboot directory. The next step will depend on the answer to my next question...
Did you have a certain custom ROM in mind or do you just want to be stock & rooted?

stock and rooted would be fine to me unless you have a better suggestion.... I'm very new at this...the only reason i undertook this endeavor is because my soft keys stopped working and most of those "home key" apps only work when you're rooted.
I'm sorry I'm so dumb at this...but do I install CWM to my phone or to my computer?

You can flash it to your phone, but it isn't necessary... if all you want is stock and rooted, know that I am back in front of a computer and not on limited to Tapatalk on my phone, I will walk you through it. I recommend TWRP though, I am familiar enough with CWM mod to do it on my own, but not to instruct someone (Do not type the quotation marks themselves unless I say otherwise)
1) Download the latest TWRP from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1902381
2) Unzip the file and copy the recovery.img file from the ZIP to the same directory as fastboot/adb
3) Download the ROM image from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2260154
4) Open the ZIP with 7Zip (or your favorite ZIP tool) and extract the file called boot.img and place it in the fastboot/adb directory as well (we may or may not need it, depends how this goes for you)
5) Place a copy of the ROM zip file on the root of your microSD card
6) Power up into Hboot (the bootloader) by pressing POWER+VOL DN until the screen comes up
7) Select and start FASTBOOT and connect the USB cable, there should now be a red bar over FASTBOOT USB
8) Open a command window in your fastboot directory
9) Type "fastboot devices" (without quotes) and press enter, the system should respond with your devices serial number, if it doesn't... STOP and report back here
10) Type "fastboot boot recovery.img" and wait for TWRP to start on the phone
11) Go to Wipes -> Advanced and select everything except the external SD and execute it
12) Go back to the top menu
13) Select Install and select the ROM image and flash, wait for it to let you know it's complete
14) Reboot and be patient... first boot on a new ROM can take a significant amount of time, give it a good 15 minutes.
Remember you do not have to flash ANY recovery image to your phone, this is only needed once S-OFF and returning to locked, you can always boot a recovery image via fastboot.
Enjoy

The easiest way would be to remove the microSD card and place it an external reader in the PC and then just copy and paste... the other way is to skip #5 , then after #10 (and before #11) use TWRP to mount the SD card by clicking MOUNT and then make sure Storage is set to "Micro SDcard" and click Mount USB Storage... the external SD card should show up on your PC as a regular removable USB drive, just copy it over that way and after it is complete press Home in the lower left corner and continue.

Update -
I skipped five because I don't have a miniSD external reader.
after I typed "fastboot devices" I think it showed the serial number (which is good i think)...it showed a series of letters and numbers and then fastboot. When i typed fastboot boot recovery recovery.img, i received cannot load recovery... any ideas?

Just got it to go through...sorry..i didn't have the recovery.img in the right folder.
Now phone has black colored tampered above pink unlocked message....
I"m still confused as to how to use the TWRP to mount the SD card?? When I download TWRP, there was only the recovery.img file in there...so I'm not sure how to open the TWRP application...

Unable to install custom recovery! $20 to whoever can help!

I've been working on this for 2 days now and I can't seem to find an answer. I'll pay $20 to the dude who finds the resolution.
So, I just got a new Amaze, fresh out of the package. I was able to unlock the bootloader with no problems. However, when I run the flash.bat file the phone reboots into the boot loader, but nothing happens, the MS DOS prompt simply says "sending 'recovery' <4634 KB>". I've tried to use Hasoon's all-in-one-kit, but it is not able to install any recovery either. I'm not a noob, so don't insult my intelligence with stuff like "were you in USB debugging mode"? YES, I've read all the directions, and searched all over.
Things I've tried:
2 diff computers
2 diff USB cables
reinstalled HTC drivers
relocked the and unlocked the bootloader
Tried diff recoveries - CWM 5.0.02.5 and TWRP 2.0.0
Running HTC Amaze
Anyone?
Try this...
Put the recovery.img in your android/tools folder (be sure there are no other recovery.imgs in there)
Run cmd
Type the following...
"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" be sure that the name of the .img matches the command where it reads recovery.img.
Do it the easy way
ClockworkMOD 5.5.0.4 Amaze 4g/Ruby: http://www.android-dev.us/showthread...4-Off-charging
---------------------
1. Download file to your computer
2. make sure its named PH85IMG.zip
3. Copy to sdcard (externel one)
4. Pull battery and replace
5. Hold volume down and then hit power
6. Wait for it to say do you want toupdate (press volume up)
7. Press power button to reboot
8. Reboot Phone into recovery as normal and enjoy clockworkmod recovery with fixed charging and sdcard

Command worked, however hangs at "sending 'recovery' <5066 KB>..."
On the screen of the Amaze there is a green vertical progress bar that is about 1/4 filled, but never moves beyond that.
Do you have root access? If so try downloading Rom Manager from the Market and flashing it with that.
Edit: N/m I went and re-read the instructions again and see you need recovery first.

you need root for that method to work, and even then it has a really old version of cwm that does not have internal sdcard support...

Hey, If you are S-ON you have to do one step more. Go as to my sequence.
I assume you have already downloaded fastboot, drivers and android in your pc. And your phone is bootloader unlocked via HTC dev method and rooted, CWM installed. So ..
You need these : SuperWipe (To wipe data) , A Custom ROM ( I suggest Mwakious Demcritous 3D v7.0) / Put these to your sdcard root and Get a copy of these on your PC hard drive too.
1. First go to your recovery menu ( Here its CWM) and select Install from zip file.
2. Select the SuperWipe.zip and click OK, this wipes all your data.
3. Now again select install update from Zip file on recovery . Select the Custom ROM zip file from the sdcard and click install.
4. Then youll see its getting installed. Once its done select turn off your Phone from recovery menu.
5. BOOT IN TO BOOTLOADER Menu now. (Holding vol down + power) , DO NOT TURN ON YOUR PHONE OR YOU'LL get STUCKED in BOOT LOOP
6. Connect the phone to the PC, then bootloader menu will say --> Connected via USB
8. Now unzip the same ROM file youve got in your Hard Drive. Once done find a file called "boot.img" inside that unzipped folder.
9. Now open up a cmd, go to you android tools location (eg: C:/>Program Files/Android)
10. Type > fastboot devices ( If this shows some result which makes any sense proceed to step 11)
11. Now type the below command on the CMD.
"fastboot flash boot C:\<Location you've extracted the zip>\Mwakious3DRom.v.7.0\boot.img"
12.If the result says DONE, you are good to go.
13. Turn off the phone and On it now
14. You should be logged in without a problem, guaranteed !!! Otherwise let me know
Thanks

as it was stated, you need to unlock your bootloader again. A recovery image is a image that we use to flash and wipe roms and the phone. Amon RA, TWRP and CW are the ones we can use for our phone. I personally use TWRP and Amon RA depending on my mood. You can find them here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1425091
Towards the bottom of the list you will see recovery. You will need to flash one of those in order to flash a custom rom.
Also make sure to read the tutorials towards the bottom. before you start messing with your phone you should be familiar with everything. If you do something wrong and brick your phone, its hard to recover from if at all and you would have an expensive paper weight

1. you need to download fastboot if you have not already. You can find that in the android sdk
2.) once fastboot is downloaded boot your phone into bootloader and select the fastboot option and plug your phone into your computer
3.) place the recovery image in the same directory as fastboot and use the command prompt (windows key +r then type cmd and hit enter)
4.) change directory to where fastboot is and run this command
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
where recovery.img is the name of the recovery file that you downloaded

yeah no problem.
If you go back into the bootloader and select recovery, this will bring you into the Amon Ra.
Download a rom from the forums, I personally like Neo's Roms, Infection 2.8.1 is a good choice. But download any rom and put it on your SD card.
1.) select USB-MS toggle and then select on of the options
2.) copy downloaded rom to mounted sdcard
3.) once copied, hit the power button to unmount and then return to the main menu
4.)select wipe from the main menu and then do each one of these 3 times
Wipe All data/factory reset
Wipe /data
Wipe /cache
Wipe /Dalvik-cache
Wipe /system
then go back to main menu and then select Fash zip menu and select where you placed your rom and then flash...once its flash go back to main menu and select Developers menu and selet reboot bootloader
open the rom using a zip program and pull the boot.img from the rom and place it in your fastboot directory
once you are in the bootloader it should go to fastboot usb automatically and then run these commands
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
it should reboot and load your rom

If you go back into the bootloader and select recovery, this will bring you into the Amon Ra.
Download a rom from the forums, I personally like Neo's Roms, Infection 2.8.1 is a good choice. But download any rom and put it on your SD card.
1.) select USB-MS toggle and then select on of the options
2.) copy downloaded rom to mounted sdcard
3.) once copied, hit the power button to unmount and then return to the main menu
4.)select wipe from the main menu and then do each one of these 3 times
Wipe All data/factory reset
Wipe /data
Wipe /cache
Wipe /Dalvik-cache
Wipe /system
then go back to main menu and then select Fash zip menu and select where you placed your rom and then flash...once its flash go back to main menu and select Developers menu and selet reboot bootloader
open the rom using a zip program and pull the boot.img from the rom and place it in your fastboot directory
once you are in the bootloader it should go to fastboot usb automatically and then run these commands
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
it should reboot and load your rom

I did your steps in order, but my phone has been stuck on rebooting... for over 15 minutes as you can see from the CMD. On my phone I just see the booting logo spinning.
I used this rom because I want jellybean: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2113140
Any ideas?
Also, what do I do with the MD5? I didn't use it.

the reboot step isnt 100% needed, its more for ease of use...just pull the battery and power on
Also did you flash the boot.img file?

Dont worry to much about the MD5,I havent used one if forever. Its basically just a security check to make sure that the file you downloaded didnt get corrupt. But with modern technology and internet, its less likely to mess up while downloading. Still possible, but not likely

If you didn't see my edit, there is an md5 file I can download, but I didn't use it because I don't know what to do with it.

It sounds like you have a ph98img file on your sdcard. Remove the sdcard and Mount it in a PC and remove it. Then remount in the phone. Should allow to get into recovery and fastboot then

thanks for the help, before i got your message i got around the issue in a different way just trying a few things. I figured out the phone would boot into recovery with no sd card in it but i couldnt flash the rom again without it installed so i put the sd in partially and then held the battery against the contacts with out inserting it completely then booted into recovery, push the sd in the rest of the way and i was golden for there.
but i happy that someone knew wat it was on the sd card that was giving me the problem ive got that deleted now thanks for the help

Help!!! My Rezound got bricked!! :'(

Ok... This is my 4th android phone.. And I love this phone... And only had it for a week.... and just now got it bricked.... here's what happen... Today I tried to flash a sense 4.1 rom, but im so new at this, and I'm half way done, and I went in a rush because I was nervous, and I accidentally press "install and keep data" and that was my mistake. I factory reset it b4 so I tried to flash it... So I thought it wouldn't be a problem. So I waited till the phone finish flashing. And when I rebooted the phone.... Nothing happened, just stuck on the white screen.... vibrating and etc... And I tried to restore all my data in clockworkmod recovery like I never even tried flashed it.. and it kept saying "won't mount sd card" and I tried to clear my cache/dalvik-cache, and like it still wont fix the issue. I even tried to restore wat I backup b4 I tried to flash it... and It was gone!!! Even my windows 8 laptop won't even detect my resound nor my sd card(unless its on a different android). But How can I fix my Rezound?!? plzzzz How can I fix this soft bricked issue? pllzzzzzzz help!!!
Im assuming you already have adb installed
Download this file
http://www.mediafire.com/download/oa2sjlvrecx0wdn/recovery-ra-vigor-3.16-gnm.img.zip
Extract the recovery img
Put it in the adb folder
Load into fastboot
Open up the terminal
Put "cd" then hit space
Drag and drop the adb folder into the terminal window then hit enter
Now use this command to flash that recovery "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (without the quotation marks)
Now go into recovery Find "format data system cache ect."
Go to format all to ext3 once that is done hit return
Flash your prefered rom from the flash menu and all that
Once you are done return to the main menu and go to "developer menu"
Then reboot to bootloader
Now go into your rom that you downloaded on your pc and find the rom now open it and get the boot.img
Copy the boot.img file to your adb folder
Open up terminal again and this time use the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" in terminal its going to say sending then writing usually takes a couple of seconds
now just go to the reboot option and your rom should work
Now remember that since you are s on you need to get the boot.img file from EVERY rom you install and flash it thru the terminal in order to get your rom working

If you are S-ON, you are likely not bricked, it's almost impossible to completely brick when you are S-ON.
Why do people keep telling occasional flashers that are S-ON to do this?!?!? It is the hard way, also don't use Amon Ra, is it outdated and known to cause issues with current ROMs, use TWRP or CWM recovery!!! Also, verify your ROM is specifically for the HTC Rezound, check the Developer threads here and make sure it is stable and widely used unless you really know what you are doing.
Although xkjonathanxk is on the right track, he is making more complicated than it needs to be...
- Download the first link in the first post of this thread and place it on the root of your SD card: [Tool] - 3/24 - CleanWIPE 1.0 - Wipe 5 or 10x before ROM install! - 1heffer Edition! (CleanWIPE formats all the necessary partitions for you, and prepares the phone for a new ROM)
- Download TWRP or CWM Rececovery (one of the first two links in post 1) and extract the recovery*.img and place it in the adb folder that contains fastboot.
- Download a tested and verified ROM of choice and place it on the root of your SD card
- Now, reboot into fastboot, remove battery and hold down Power and Vol Dn, once the menu comes up select Fastboot and press power, connect phone to PC
- In ADB enter the command "fastboot devices", if it shows a device continue, if not report back please
- Now enter the command "fastboot boot recovery.img" and TWRP (or CWM) should open on the device in a few seconds (replace recovery.img with whatever the name of the xxxx.img file is from TWRP or CWM archive)
- Install the CleanWIPE zip from above
- Install ROM zip image
- Reboot and enjoy the goodness
Remember to give the ROM some time to settle down on the first boot, and that the first boot can take a long time, like a painfully wrong "WTF did I do to ruin my device!" long time, but give it a solid 10 minutes before doing anything else.

For the things you need to do, its not much different than Windows. Download and install adb, copy images to same places, and the commands are pretty much the same. If you can dualboot you obviously have some knowledge of such things.
If this is all do difficult, just grab a thumb drive, put mini-adb, recovery.img, and your ROM on it and go to a buddies computer with Win7 for 20 minutes and get it done that way.
I know this seems like a huge, potentially fatal problem, but it is minor...
Another thought I had... Download TWRP, go into CWM recovery and copy the TWRP file and ROM to the sd card, and FLASH TWRP recovery ZIP with CWM recovery, reboot into recovery and you will then be on TWRP and you can use TWRP's HTC Dumlock to flash the ROM and the boot.img without a PC at all... In theory, it should work.

[Q] no OS installed

ok so i have an htc one on att and i had a sysem uid problem, so i wiped everything icluding the internal storage. now there is no OS installed and i have a mac and htc file transfer wont pick up the phone in recovery mode. how do i install the stock sense rom and put it back on my phone? try to answer immediately cuz i need this for tomorrow
You need to get the proper drivers installed to sideload a new rom or push it to internal sd
My best advice would be to drop the mac for linux or even windows, but that's a different story...

If you don't have access to a windows PC, you'll probably have to do it similar to this way - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26435416 (Download the RUU for your device).
Sent from my Nexus 4
except it doesnt have mac on there and it says to turn fastboot off in settings using the os and i cant. anything else?
Can't you copy/paste the stock rom into the device and boot it up to install? In my huawei I think I can do it with the special "pink screen" (turning on my phone while pressing both volume up and down ). If I have a "dload" folder in the root directory with the stock rom inside, when booting to pink screen it will automatically start the installation..

Just find the right RUU for your device and execute it (Let it extract the files and go to your temp folder / Don't close the application).
For example if you are using Win7/Win8:
Go to C:\Users\{your username}\AppData\Local\Temp\
You will see some folder(s) with a name like this or similar with an other folder inside it with similar name (path example):
C:\Users\{your username}\AppData\Local\Temp\{487C5E56-F40F-49D7-A913-522D1A257374}\{50F2F878-636A-496F-A7CB-544C067E0C4B}
If you find the right one you will be able to find a file with name rom.zip.
just copy that to the root of your sdcard and rename it to {your MID namber / the 4 first characters}IMG.zip
For example for Incredible S should be PG32IMG.zip
The zip name with your MID number could be PL83IMG.zip (Probably for HTC One)
***Important***
If you want to find your MID number to rename the zip you should get your phone into hboot (by pressing Vol- and power button) and to enable fastboot mode (connect the usb cable to your computer).
Then give the command:
fastboot getvar mid ----> To get your Model ID number
fastboot getvar cid ----> To get your CID number (it could help you to find the right RUU for your device / If you have S-OFF and SuperCID you can Install any RUU but you should be carefull - If you choose some wrong RUU and you flash it you could brick your device as well)
***Attention***
Make sure you haven't sdcard into your phone if you have your XXXXIMG.zip inside because you won't be able to use fastboot option.
As long as you have the right zip with the right name in your sdcard reboot your phone into bootloader (while you have sdcard inside).It will start to scan your sdcard.If the zip has the right name your hboot will find the XXXXIMG.zip and it will tell you to update.Press VOL+ button to start the proccess (VOL- to abort).Wait until proccess is done.May it take a while...
(Don't put off your battery until the process is done and make sure it is at least 30% charged to proceed.)
If you need any help further we are here.
The problem with the above is the htc one does not have a removeable sd and the op's computer isn't recogonizing his phone, the first step is to get the phone and pc to communicate, after this, being the recovery is functional, just a full wipe and install of a proper rom via recovery will suffice, no need to flash an ruu or pcxxximg.zip
Just needs to load a rom to internal sd
Sent from my SGH-T699 using Tapatalk 2
Im glad I have an external sdcard.. When I got it was just with the thinking "I can expand storage", but apparently it has this great advantages as well.
In the HTC maybe you can boot into a special mode that makes the computer recognize the internal partitions and mount them as external drives..
Good luck.
You could use fastboot commands to restore official rom to your device without the need of sdcard.You just need to extract the rom.zip from RUU.exe.
Here is a guide how to extract an RUU on linux and mac:
OpenRUU for Linux & Mac - NEW! Extract rom.zip from any RUU!
**You need wine to run windows executable files (.exe) under linux and mac OS.**
If you have the rom.zip you can flash it using fastboot commands:
fastboot oem rebootRUU ---> Get your phone into RUU mode.
fastboot flash zip rom.zip ---> Flash the rom.zip you extracted before.
fastboot reboot ---> Run this command when the flashing is finished.
The proccess should has been done now!
You could see this guide to if you like:
[GUIDE] Set up ADB and Fastboot on a Mac easily (With Screenshots!)
Yes using fastboot is helpful, but in this case again, the op needs to get his phone and pc to communicate first before doing anything. And applying an ruu is overkill,
Get phone to connect to pc
Load proper rom on phone internal sd
Wipe clean through recovery
Flash rom (and gapps if needed)
Reboot
Profit
