So I bought this phone used and it would randomly reboot and so I installed 4.4.2. But that didn't solve it so I ran the Viper RUU and then flashed it back to 4.4.2 and that still doesn't solve . Two curious things: when I bought it it came with a locked bootloader but s off and when it boots up it says for development use only. And now it won't boot at all I might be able to get it to boot temporarily though if I'm lucky. Any ideas?

Sounds like the previous owner may have had issues, ran a RUU & got rid of it. Running a RUU would put the bootloader back to being locked, even with it being S-off. It's hard to say what the issue could be, honestly. The red development disclaimer you're referring to when the phone boots up is normal on a rooted device. I'm almost wondering if the battery could be at fault, particularly since you say you can't get the phone to boot at all now. Will the phone charge at all?

I had a similar problem using the 4.4 roms. So since then I have just been using the older roms waiting until the new ones get the issues ironed out.

It was giving me trouble on pure stock too so I don't think that's the problem it could be the battery though how difficult is it to replace that?

Phone will now charge and boot but it is still really fussy with reboots and getting it to boot.

Not trying to brag or anything, but when I see reviews for this phone I see people saying it gives random reboots, locks up, crashes, overheating, and that It's just so problematic..however I never witnessed any of that, my phone never froze once on me and never had any problems like that. I've had this phone for about a month and a couple weeks and no issues
Yeah. Not every phone is built the same. I've had mine since day one. Still runs like a champ.
Don't know what all the fuss is about it's an excellent phone in fact I couldn't be happier

Hmm Unless you don't follow proper procedures with flashing roms and kernels there shouldn't by any instability.
Also make sure u follow the devs suggestions for specific kernels and mods

Been using this since it launched in the UK. No problems whatsoever. My phones running default, had nothing done to it and It's smooth as butter.
The happy users won't complain or sing praises on forums much as we are satisfied with our product, while those that aren't happy will make themselves heard everywhere.
The only issue I have had is w/the touch screen freezing during calls --- although since I went on a flashoholic binge over the past week jumping between Sense based ROMs, CM7, CM9, and MIUI it seems to have fixed itself. I haven't had any issues all week.
All in all, I love it! Couldn't be happier!
I only really have four problems with this phone.
1 - The battery cover doesn't go on tightly in the top left corner.
2 - There is some dust under the screen.
3 - the phone gets quite hot under use occasionally.
4 - Having a PG86100.zip on the SD card makes it so that you can't boot to recovery through bootloader. Sure, it's easy to just remove it, but sometimes I forget to delete it and experiment too much. When I need to get into recovery in those cases, I can't because of the zip file. On my OG Evo if I didn't want to install the file, I could just say no and then tell the phone not to reboot. With this phone, if I say no, I HAVE to reboot.

Great phone, like it alot, also got an Sensation XE but I prefer my Evo 3D, don't know why, it's magic for me.
It gets very warm next to the camera(s) when I play graphics intensive games and the default music player is cruel, but I got PowerAmp and all in all I'm verry satisfied. Seriously, now the 3D-features aren't used for many times...but it's great to amaze people!
Here in Germany it's just 269€, means ca. 350$, cheap for the given value.
Yep, I never have any stability issues either, stock or rooted. This thing is a very stable beast!
I bought this phone on the release day for my dad's birthday. He had so many problems he had to get a replacement. I swear one day he was doing something on it and out of nowhere he had a reboot. He said it would happen all the time. I took possession of this phone about six weeks ago and have had not one problem at all. Maybe it didn't like him. But overall, this phone is awesome. Wouldn't give it up for anything in the world.

I do that usually, but when you can't boot the phone because of a ROM issue you can't exactly choose that option...

I am trying to return my tbolt to stock so i can send it back into verizon. Everything was going great untill the last step. That is when this screen came up.
I cant get it to do anything now. It keeps coming back to this screen everytime i start it up. PLEASE HELP!!!!
Thanks guys!
I am not quite too sure on this but you have s-on which means your unrooted already so i think your good to go but you should wait for a 2nd opinion nonetheless

I installed the 20120803 version of CM9 last night and upon reboot, the phone did nothing. The screen didnt turn on and no red light during charging. I left it charging all night and it still doesnt do anything. I connected it to my computer to try to use adb to get it to restart, and the computer doesn't find it.
I checked the battery with a multimeter and it reads 3.7 volts
The latest builds perma brick your phone. That was discussed in the thread. I hope It's not but if you flashed it It's bricked. Get a replacement.

The latest one from dmeadows' site causes perma brick? I thought it was his own test build he was working on.
on s-off phones, yes, it can brick your phone. s-on phones seem safe. This is only 1 build of aosp that is out there that is doing it. Not sure if that is the version you installed. Call verizon and tell them your phone won't turn on and that you've tried 2 known good batteries.
It was bricked. Went into verizon and ordered a replacement- will be here by Tuesday or Wednesday.
Activated my droid x for the time being
Shouldn't they take that bricking build down or is it not publicly accessible?

i didnt think the brick build was public ?
I thought it was only on dmeadows' test build that had perma bricking, but the one on his site caused my phone to brick and is still available.

It's kind other people's faults if they don't read and download a build which is obviously going to brick (It's been stated across these forums) It's up so people that are S-On can download it it still and see how it runs.
lol
What I read from dmeadows' posts is that a build he was working on caused the brick, not the one that has been available for over a week
It doesn't matter anyhow. It also says flash at your own risk several people bricked.

Just send it the people who receive them don't give a ****. They just load the correct software on it and go to the next phone...I and many other people have done this a bazillion times. In fact I've never returned a phone that wasn't rooted AND running a custom rom.

So no one had an issue returning a Rezound that was unlocked through HTC's website but then relocked before returning? They don't check to see if it says re-locked?

In fact, some people have received devices that passed the "100 point inspection" that still had CWM or CyanogenMod still on them
I returned an incredible that still had cwm on it and a rezound that said relocked on it with no problem at all, I wouldn't doubt that they make that statement just to scare you into not doing it.

Hey guys my screen went out yesterday. I took it to Verizon and I am getting refurbished rezound under the total protection plan.
I am rooted...unlocked....custom boot loader...and Rom...c
Do I need to try to relock and factory reset every thing?
Since the screen went out due to bad hardware...does me having custom Rom and software screw me when they put a new screen in the old phone?

Its hard to do without a screen. But if you use the rezound toolkit you can run the ruu and that will get you back to stock. the progress will show on the command prompt so you will know when its done. Like the post above said, better safe than sorry. Chances are they won't even check though.

Best to unroot if not and they see its rooted they can deny your claim and charge you full price. Not worth the risk

Didn't unroot. Didn't S-ON. That's just me, though. Mainly because I forgot. I had no problem with it from Asurion. Though, as others said, better safe than sorry. You never know.
