Hey just wanted everyone to know where they could find the stock RUU for the rezound. I've been searching for a week now and finally found a good link. This is not the global RUU. This is the one that use to be on android police but was taken down when htc started cracking down on everything. Hope this helps someone and hopefully the mods dont take this down but if they do sorry for posting.

I gave you that link in your other thread, if that's what you mean by you "finally found" it.
I read in a post in the Q&A that someone just downloaded the global RYUU from Android Police and I just clicked through to be sure before coming back to report here and at least one of the mirrors is working now. They seem to have re-allowed the downloads once it was made clear that HTC was just concerned about that one site that had their logo and name on it.
Well Damn. That's my mistake lol. I used the zip you have me but I never clicked the other link bc you said it was the global ruu and I already had that one. In any case thanks a lot just a misread on my part

Is this a stock root ruu? I'm looking for a stock root ROM to flash on the rezound for a friend.

It's not rooted but you can use the all in one toolkit to root is fairly simple I will try to find the link for you.

Hello. I have never rooted a device before. I have done some browsing around the forums, and there are so many ROM's and s off's and on's that I have no idea where to begin.
Can someone recommend me which ROM to get and point me to a step by step guide on how to install it? I mainly just want to be able to tether my phone by allowing it to be a wireless access point.
I of course have the DROID DNA. I did read something about not updating b/c the new updates are unrootable, but I think the phone did update .
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Edit: I do have version 1 of the firmware available.
Go to settings, about, software information and tell me your software version. Its either going to be 1.15 or 2.04 iirc.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
As far as I know, you can't root/unlock the current official firmware. You can check what version you are on in settings/about phone. If its 2, you will unfortunately have to wait.
As far as s-off, all it does is make it easier to flash custom kernels, and easier to hard brick. Don't s-off unless you know what you're doing. Of you don't know, you don't need it.

New update for.......?
Sent from my Nexus 10
He's probably talking about where can he check for updates on unlocking on the ota. My answer is really no where. There really isn't much info on it besides that it's being worked on and when and if they get it, it will be released but there isn't like a progress forum or anything. When it gets figured out they will either post a new thread or add to the thread that has the old method.

Ok, so I got a DNA with the version 1 firmware.
What do I do from here? I just want the ability to use my phone's wifi tether. I don't care about the ability to overclock the processor, though it seems pretty much any ROM with super user will let you do it anyway I guess. Also, I want to get rid of all the bloatware. The phone only has 16 GB memory and only has 11 GB available. I don't need Kindle app or any of that other crap on the phone. What else is there that I need to look out for in deciding which ROM to use? Do you guys have 1 to recommend?
I really appreciate everyone's help.
Bump for help.

I got it figured out. I edited my original post. I got another phone that has the 1 firmware version. Thanks charlie!
is there any one click methods?
the ones in the and development forum are a little complex and i dont feel like going through it if theres something easier
I hate to be the guy to say it. If the methods your're finding are too complex, you may be better off just staying put where you are.

I'll need to agree with that. Although I believe there is a program out there that has like a one-click method? I'd research it quick but I'm far too lazy right now. Regaw or something?

Since you are s-on you need to flash the kernel first using flash image gui or fastboot flash it or use a sense rom that has a kernel installer

MeanBean is always a great ROM for those who are scared to S-OFF. But aren't you suppose to flash the kernel after? Wouldn't flashgui's kernel install be overridden?

Hello xda. I just got a Droid incredible 4g lte today and I am loving it so far and hoping to get more in depth with it. But the first thing I must ask is how can I make the apps in my phone go default to the SD card, I have a 32gb SD card. I installed modern combat 4 and then followed by Nova 3, my phone canceled the Nova 3 download because of space problems. So I'm just wanting to have the big apps go to my Android/obb folder on my SD card but they won't. I tryed using es file Explorer to move the mc4 files to SD card then play it. But once I started the game it wanted me to download it.. Is there any way to fix this or will I need a rooted phone and some kind of Rom? Thanks for any help. All will be thanked.

Wow. Patience is a virtue. Yes, you will need to be rooted. If you just got the phone yesterday, hopefully you are still on build 2.17.605.2 or earlier.
I suggest that you look at the Droid Incredible 4G LTE Resource Index in the General area. That will point you to rooting methods, and there is also a link to Jose's SD Card Swap Mod that does exactly what you are looking for.

Thank you so much. And I got this phone from a pawnshop lol. It is on the version you said above and hboot 1.15. This is probably the best phone I have ever used, I really like how it has the adreno 225! Can't wait to unlock this baby and get to flashing! The previous phone I had was the HTC evo 3d. So I have experience with HTC phones, but this droid looks like it will be abit of a challenge to s-off. Hopefully I can find a perfect rom that won't require it. I like to use Windows but I think the only methods avaliable to s-off only work with Linux, and I by no means have experience using Linux.

Root it now and get on a ROM that isn't subject to the OTA before the OTA finds its way into your phone before it's too late!
I do recommend s,-off, as it makes like much easier. Try making an Ububtu Live CD and play around with it to see if you can get comfortable with it before trying DirtyRacun. You can also look at face palm method.

If you root and stay "rooted stock", you'll get the OTA. No bueño.
The 2.1.1 release of ViperLTE also gets the Verizon OTA notice. No bueño. If like Sense-based ROMs, I highly recommend the latest ViperLTE version 2.2.0, as it has setting to turn off OTA checks. I have not received an OTA notification since installing 2.2.0 and ticking that setting. I was getting them on 2.1.1.
I would fully expect that CyanogenMod to not get an OTA notice, either. However, I cannot confirm.

See here's the thing. I do not have this phone activated, I just use it on wifi. I tried updating the firmware but the checking for New update is there for a split second and goes away. Nothing else happens. So I guess this phone can't be updated. But i will unlock and install a rom asap.
Can you recommend a rom I use? Like jelly bean or Kitkat? Hopefully one rom here has sense 5 :sly:

I suggest poking around the development section here for various ROMs. Unfortunately, Verizion has (had?) no love for this phone, and they have been blocking bootloader unlocking via HTC. ...[long story and rant omitted]... As a result, there are not a lot of custom ROMs for this phone.

Correct. DO NOT allow the latest OTA get installed on your phone or you may not be able to unlock the bootloader.

I certainly will not allow this phone to get updated. So here's another question, would you say this phone is good for gaming? I got it cause of the adreno 225, my previous evo 3d had the 220. I'm also hoping that if I find a kernel that supports overclocking it can help things out. I want to match this phone up to the HTC evo 4g lte, which also has the adreno 225, but a 1.5 GHz dual core rather than 1.2.

I can't really answer that, as I do not use my phone for games. However, Jose has created a few overclocked kernels, and they are generally stable. 1.5 for sure, 1.8 *may* work, too.

Here's the only link you need: Droid Incredible 4G LTE Resource Index

Yes, you can flash a kernel if you are s-on, but it must be done via fastboot.

When I said "must be done via fastboot" there, I meant that you must push the kernel via a fastboot command using the command line on your computer (e.g. CMD window) while the phone is in fastboot mode. This can be done in Windows.
