Hi
I just would like to check if anyone can answer.
1. Does relocking bootlader also unroot phone?
2. Does installing RUU.exe to return to stock also install stock recovery?

1. Nope
2. RUU will reset everything to stock, it will take care of everything. But probably there's no RUU available that you can use...
Yeah, like reaper said about both points, however there is no RUU for the latest HBoot, which I still till this moment Don't know how...
I have found this RUU file :
RUU_ENRC2B_U_JB_45_HTC_Europe_1.17.401.1_Radio_3.1204.168.32_release_299688_signed.exe
Do I just relock the bootloader from fastboot and then also from fastboot with phone plugged in just run the RUU exe file above?
Will doing the above put everything to stock including the stock recovery?

That would do everything, but it won't work if you've flashed a newer official update
Someone did post a TWRP backup for 2.18.401.2 though

I can't get my phone to boot up so I can't use a RUU and when I go into fastboot and select recovery it just goes back into a bootloop I have looked everywhere for a stock ROM in the form of a .nbh and can't find any! Does anyone have one they could share? Thanks in advance! The Rezound doesn't have a Q&A section so I posted here.
*UPDATE* I found the PH98IMG's http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1365654
I am not at all familiar with an nbh file... Too my knowledge if you can still get into hboot you should be able to ruu.
I know when I relocked I couldn't boot back up with my normal ROM and used the ruu exe file to take care if it.... Try there first

It says in that tread that you can extract the PH98IMG from the RUU which did not work at all and the RUU's don't work from fastboot
Here is a link to a ruu file you should be able to rum through fastboot as all a your mainver is 2.01.605.11 rename as PH98IMG http://www.4shared.com/zip/MNDHXsaC/rom.html

I've had some RUU issues myself but was never able to find these files, so thanks for the link.
One question, did you have to flash stock recovery first, or does the PH file take care of all that clean up for you?

Running the RUU flashes the stock hboot, stock recovery, stock radio, stock kernel, and stock ROM, it is also reputed to wipe your "internal storage".
To return to root, you flash Amon Ra in fastboot and use the advanced menu to re-root, then you can flash a custom ROM and/or kernel.

I ran the RUU from Fastboot, so I know it does work.
why don't you just go back to fastboot and flash the recovery again to see if that fixes it?

I ended up having to return that Rezound because it had something seriously wrong with it. It messed up 1hr after I purchased it, I was on the Market and it went to the HTC logo and just kept rebooting, and the only thing I could do was get into fastboot. When I selected recovery it would just boot back to the HTC screen and when I tried to factory reset it did the same. I unlocked the bootloader and flashed the CWM recovery several times but it still would just go to the HTC screen. When I typed "fastboot boot recovery" it said it couldn't load the recovery. I formatted a sdcard, put the PH98IMG on it, it loaded the image but then would act like nothing was ever loaded instead of asking me to accept the update, and it would just go back to the main HBOOT directory Anyways all is well now Verizon replaced it with no problems as soon as they opened today.
So to update firmware first fastboot oem lock and then flash the newest RUU then unlock again. Is this correct?
Exactly

Or you can flash a stock recovery without relocking/flashing RUU and take the update if you are on stock ROM.
Why does everyone think you have to rearm your bootloader for updates?
Remember we have an unlocked bootloader which is signed by HTC you don't need to relock for anything, the signatures contained in it are valid
The only thing you have to make sure to receive the ota is to be fully stock, doesn't matter if rooted or not, and that you have stock recovery and all the bloatware that came with the phone, otherwise the update will fail.
Note : if your rooted you will loose root after the update.

IF you are 1.5 S-OFF then its business as usual. Flash the ROM from custom recovery like traditionally you would and you should be good.
Most of us have Hboot 1.5 S-ON, this method involves flashing the Kernel first (however you want to flash: fastboot or Flash GUI) and then flashing the ROM via custom recovery.
im sorry i mistyped, im s-on, and i do know how to flash roms i was wondering the proper steps to update to the newest firmware. i have read many instructions about it but im a moron and got confused along the way
again thanks
Where can i download a stock recovery image?

Extract the recovery.img file from a RUU/ROM.zip file.
And then fastboot flash recovery recovery.img or rename it to PG86IMG.ZIP and run it like an ruu?
If that's the case, can you just run the last Sprint ruu then do update? Or will the ruu not overwrite recovery and kernel? Trying to figure this out to without messing up the phone. I am also running with 1.5 s-on.

Hey everyone,
I want to revert my HTC Rezound to stock. I am currently on gingerbread rooted but my root is not working at all in ADB or any other apps and I think I rooted incorrectly, is there some way I can run an SBF or something like that and just flip back to the stock non rooted rom and start all over?
If not, can someone link me to some instructions or post some instructions on how I can revert my htc rezound completely back to stock?
Thanks,

I usually use the exe. It will walk you through the steps on your PC. Or I believe you can flash the .zip from recovery with choose zip from SD option. You will have to have the bootloader locked to run them though.

Ok thanks again
So I am downloading the exe right now and it will finish in 2 hours or so, are you saying that if I am trying to run it I need to have to have a locked bootloader?
I know mine is unlocked right now, do I just lock it from the HTC website? If so what do I need to lock it again?

You lock it in fastboot with "fastboot oem lock" command without the quotes. No need for HTCdev in this case
Before going through the RUU, try the Unsecured kernel if you wish to run root commands through ADB.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1443324
It is an overclocked kernel. If you don't want it you need to lower the max cpu clock with CPU Master.
Ok just re-locked the bootloader through fastboot in CMD, if I want to unlock it in the future can I just do fastboot unlock or whatever?
I am going to run the RUU .exe right now, I take it you just do that all from the bootloader?
Thanks,

1. Yup, just hold onto the unlock_code.bin
2. Have it name PH98IMG.zip, make sure you are either s-off or on GB firmware. Have you flashed the ICS leaked firmware?
I am in the middle of flashing the .exe RUU from my computer and I was just on GB Sense rooted (kinda it was funky) and I just wanted to go back to stock and then unlock, root, and install clean rom and whatever kernel I need with that.
I think I still have my unlock_code.bin from my first unlocking, I am not sure if I have PH98IMG.zip still though... if I don't have it where would I get it from?
I would like to install this rom, can I just go straight from stock HTC sense after the RUU and install it using the instructions on the ROM thread or do I have to unlock my bootloader again? If so can someone link me to some step by step instructions or just post them in the thread?
Thanks for all of the help,
Ljbaumer
Installation of the rom is listed halfway down the first post. Since you are running the January RUU. you will need to flash the old firmware patch in the Cleanrom folder on you're SD card. You will need to be unlocked. Don't forget to re-flash Amon RA & delete any current PH98IMG's off your external sd card.
EDIT:
Oh also, your freshly RUU'd rom. Let it boot to a home screen at least because you will need to get access to your SD card.
Need help loading MIUI on rezound!
Can someone tell me why I can't install MIUI from a zip file through recovery on a s-off rezound? I have already followed all steps using controlbear and root methods. The phone has cwm touch recovery, but gives me an error every time I try to install MIUI.
Trying to update to the global RUU.
unlocked and rooted
running conrom v6
Android police says you have to be stock.
How do I get back to stock so that I can flash the PH file in the hboot? (bootloader)
I have done it before, but I am at a loss.....
If I relock
factory reset
flash PH in bootloader but which RUU? GB, OTA.12 or OTA.2? and its a flashable file, not something I run as admin?
then I am stock correct?
unlock
flash amon ra
restore nandroid? or flash new rom?
Sorry...I'm confused
After I get the global update, I want to get s off. I tried a few months ago and I could not get it to work

you need to OEM lock the device,
place ruu on root of sd card
flash
thats it.
I would also recommend using the 4.3.605.2 Global Mode RUU file, it is more stable and trouble free than the .12 OTA.

if your hboot is 1.40 - there is no stock ROM available.
You need to sideload some other custom ROM.

What is your hboot version?
I hope you have Android SDK installed and running in your system?
I guess I have just run into the same issue. I wasn't able to find any help in the "Device Essentials" thread, unfortunately.
I have no rom. ADB doesnt work when phone is in bootloader or recovery (twrp 2.6.3.0) and I can't mount the usb storage to get the rom onto my phone. I miss the days of my samsung captivate....It was so easy!! Thanks for reading.
I guess the key point here is that I can't sideload anything because adb isnt working in recovery. My hboot is 1.40.

Did you try one of the toolkits like Windroid or Hasoons Toolkit. I would use Hasoon2000's first to return device to stock condition, and then try Windroid if that does not work.
