My phone is S-OFF with the bootloader locked. I installed TWRP using PJ75IMG.zip. Is it possible to flash back to the stock recovery by putting it inside of PJ75IMG.zip? I know I can unlock the bootloader with htcdev but I'm trying to avoid wiping the phone.
Yes. Putting it into PJ75IMG allows it to be treated just like any other file to be flashed from the bootloader.
Thanks, I'll try this tomorrow.

Does having revolutionary hboot protect my phone from being bricked?
More or less. It puts a bootloader that is unable to be overwritten without some extra steps. You can't just load a new bootloader. This means you should be able to always get into bootloader to flash a PG05IMG (recovery, ruu, radio) to fix the problem that won't let you boot completely into what ever rom you have. Just being able to flash recovery means you can atleast wipe and flash a new rooted rom.
Back from Moto-land with Rezound. I've flashed several ROMS and one I would like to flash now says that I must firs be on the leaked 3.11.605.22 firmware.
I thought that when I flashed a rom and it rebooted into bootloader to install the PH98IMG.zip file, that it was installing the necessary firmware. I'm confused.
How do I get to the necessary Leaked firmware. I've searched and googled, but everything I find, indicates that I cannot install the leak, because I have already used the HTC unlock tool. Again, confused
I appreciate your help!
ruu isn't a Tom that loads the kernel afterwards. the leak is flashed all at once which appears to be how kernels are flashed. flashing the leak requires the lock then it flashes everything together but remember it wipes all data with exception of external sd
Followup Q1: So is it possible to get to the RUU 3.11.605.22 firmware, WITHOUT re-locking and flashing the leak? (not concerned at all about full wipe, do it with each rom)
Q2: If I do have to re-lock and then flash the leak, do I first have to return to a 100% stock state (ie, restore all the bloat-ware and such)? (if you've ever had a Bionic you know what I'm talking about)

A little confused. Android Police says you have to be fully stock with a locked bootloader to install 605.22. According to this, I don't have to be stock, I just have to relock it, and be aware that the full RUU install with radios will wipe my entire phone except external SD? (I wouldn't ask this except that it directly contradicts the AP post.)
And do we have the ability to re-root the resulting ICS installation?
And there's no other way to apply just the radios and the pre-rooted (Non-RUU?) version?
Does the pre-rooted version also do a full wipe?

So far no other way to get the new radios , sounds like the only reason the OTA leak worked was the way it was packaged. This new leak isn't packaged the same way so you would have to relock and run the RUU to get the new radios.
Personally, all I did was reflash stock recovery before hand, but I had to run it a few times to get it to work fully and at one point I just relocked with amon recovery installed and ran it and it worked just fine. It wipes recovery as part of the installation and installs the updated stock recovery.

Sorry for the questions, but when I do all of this, will I still have the Amon Ra recovery, or does this return to the stock recovery (which I assume it does)?
When the PH file is flashed in recovery it will overwrite whatever recovery you had flashed previously and leave you with stock everything...including recovery.

I was able to upgrade to the new ROM and then re-unlock my phone. But when I put Amon Ra in SD folder as PH98IMG.zip and reboot to the loader, I am never prompted to install it. Furthermore, attempts to get into recovery result in a green circular icon followed by a red triangle with exclamation point.
I tried all sorts of resets and reboots. Right now I have a green recovery option, but no working recovery. The top line says "UNLOCKED".
I've tried Amon Ra 3.13 and 3.14.
Download this file.
Place it in the same folder that you setup for the HTCdev unlock.
Rename it to "recovery."
Go to the command prompt and type in this command: cd c:\nameoffolder (mine is c:\Android for example)
Boot into Hboot
Select Fastboot
Connect to PC
Then type this exactly : fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
That should get you loaded with Amon Ra.

Installation instructions are in the OP.
What you see now when you select recovery in hboot is what is considered stock recovery

Thank you. I had already figured it out, and this is exactly what the problem was. Last time I flashed with a PH98IMG version of recovery, but this latest version that I have is for Fastboot. Thanks!
Never thought it would be such a relief to see the "TAMPERED" warning, lol.
All is good!

I have no os on my phone anymore, i have no idea where to even start. Ive been searching and searching forever now.
S-On
Hboot- 2.28
No Backup and Non-Root as well
Bootloader Unlocked
Is there anything i can do? I know the Hboot 2.28 RUU hasnt came out yet that i know of and researched of as well....Thanks in advance!
Your fine, did you just wipe everything or re-did the ruu?
If your did the ruu than you need to get your recovery back in your phone
If you just wiped everything in recovery than you need to download the ROM you want to use than install the zip in recovery but don't boot into it yet. Pull the battery and boot into bootloader and go into fastboot. Than on your PC take the boot.img file out of the ROM zip you just installed and flash it over ADB.
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
If you need any more help or questions I can continue to help or others will pop in
Edit: IF your trying to get back to just stock than you need to ruu again http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ull-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/
You need to have a locked bootloader when flashing the ruu,
After downloading the file, rename it to "PH98IMG.zip" (no quotes)
Place the renamed file onto the root of the SD Card
Than boot into bootloader and it should load it up and install it, make sure to just leave it be. The phone might turn off than back on by itself once during the installation and that's normal, it'll continue installing and it will let you know when its finished

Add a rom zip file to your external sd card via your computer. And install it via yiur custom recovery. If for some reason you don't have a custom recovery, use Odin to go back to stock.

Ok ive got a ROM installed but every time i try to flash the Boot.img it says "Failed (data transfer failure)"
I was trying to ruu'ing and my sd card would not mount through the android recovery. So i wiped Dev/cache, cache, and system, thinking that it would fix the problem. Now i can not get into recovery mode and factory reset doesn't work and my phone is not being recognized by my PC. Anything i press in bootloader just reboots my device back to bootloader. I also locked my bootloader with the command "fastboot eom lock" i was experimenting and now i can not unlock it it say "relocked". What do i have to do to fix this?

If you place a Sense ROM PH98IMG on an external microSD card, does it install? Try that.
I cant seem to find an PH98IMG that will work. At this point do i have to flash boot or install an OTA (3.14.605.12)
I can not flash anything from the recovery. I also can not find an PH98IMG that would work at this point. the only think that im able to do is to get into bootloader which is relocked and i have s-on.
Do i need to unlock my bootloader to get into recovery?
How do i reinstall the whole system file?

You are on current OTA firmware, and you said you were S-On so you can't RUU, there isn't one available and you can't go down a version.
You need to unlock your boot loader, get a ROM zip (any stable ROM will do, but I suggest Tachyon or Infection), download TWRP/CWM/PhilZ recovery, and you will need working adb/fastboot on a Win7/XP machine (Win 8/8.1 will not work).
Extract boot.IMG from ROM and recovery.IMG (name might vary) from recovery zip and place them in the directory with fastboot. Now start phone and fastboot and boot recovery with 'fastboot boot recovery.img', now in recovery wipe/format everything except external microSD, then Install/flash ROM zip. Reboot.
If you follow these instructions it should just boot now.
If you want stock, there is a ROM zip that the complete stock image with root applied in the development forum, its a page or two back though.

What are the TWRP/CWM/PhilZ recovery for?
Custom recovery, you need one, not all three... To wipe/format partitions and install custom zips

I am rooted with an unlocked bootloader (went from TWRP back to Stock recovery a few weeks ago). I was reading about the RUU, but someone said you need to be S-off to do it. Is this true? And if not, how can I use the RUU then?
need to know this too mine was rooted bootloader is unlocked but for some reason its s-on
I cannot use firewater cause my phone won't boot past htc logo and when I true ancestor thru twrp it says failed .
I'm pulling my hair out some one help
I don't think you need to be S-Off. But I think you do need to re-lock the bootloader though not sure on that.
relock the bootloader and flash stock recovery, then use the RUU if you want an easy way to relock the bootloader and flash the stock recovery use HTC One 2014 (M8) All-In-One Toolkit from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2699065 by hasoon2000
or enter recovery , fastboot, then try running the RUU
fastboot oem lock will lock bootloader again...make sure you have stock recovery, you can boot into bootloader, connect via fastboot mode and run ruu from there
