So i was trying to factory clear my rezound to let a friend use it and ended up completely erasing everything, i had previously used Rezound_All-In-One_Kit_v3.2 to root it but never went s-off, ive relocked it but after hours of reading and googling i am completely stuck and humbly request some expert help.
my bootloader reads

Not an RUU, a ROM image, there is no RUU available for the current version of software (which according to your radios & hboot you have already) so now you need to flash a ROM with a custom recovery. You are probably getting the security/signature warning because you are not unlocked, you are relocked... You must be unlocked to flash a non-stock (signed) rom.
Make sure you have fastboot working (part of ADB or mini-ADB) and are unlocked
Download the current TWRP img file for Rezound here and place it in your "fastboot directory"
Download a ROM, for stock try this one by MicroMod777 and place it on your microSD card
Start the phone in hboot, and select fastboot, and connect the USB cable
On your PC, go to your fastboot directory and enter "fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.1-vigor.img" and a green bar should appear in the display, followed shortly after by the TWRP recovery menu
Navigate to the Install/Flash section, find your rom ZIP file and install it
reboot and you should be good to go
i've got twrp successfully installed, but all i get when i try to flash the rom you recommended i get "error executing updater binary in zip". any thoughts?

Check the MD5 of the ZIP file, is it correct? You are browsing to the ZIP file and selecting it, correct? Is the any other error, something about emmc?
the zip was good and ive tried multiple roms, no emmc error, is there a way to s-off and flash a ruu maybe?

OK... Do you have working fastboot and access to a microSD card reader?
Download https://www.dropbox.com/s/pdttet253u4wgrw/CleanWIPE_1.0_-_10x_-Rezoundv2.zip
First, remove your SD card and put it in the reader connected to a Windows machine. Open My Computer and right click on the microSD drive, select Format, change File System to FAT32, and Allocation Unit Size to "Default", untick Quick Format and select Format... This will take some time. Then copy the untouched ROM and Gapps ZIP file and the CleanWIPE zip file to root (main) directory of the SD card. Use MD5 Calculator or something similar to verify the MD5 image on the SD card. Reinsert the SD card in the phone.
Make sure you have the TWRP recovery image file (openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.1-vigor.img) in the same directory as fastboot and adb.
Start the phone into Hboot and select FASTBOOT, it should show FASTBOOT USB in red, then connect your PC and wait for it to connect. Start a CMD session and go to the fastboot directory, enter the command:
fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.1-vigor.img
This will transfer TWRP to the phone and boot it, note that this is different than starting TWRP on the phone directly, it gives TWRP access to more stuff than normal.
Now select Wipes, Advanced, and tick everything except External Storage or MicroSD Storage and wipe it, then repeat this 3 times (note that Internal Storage may change names to emmc, this is normal). Watch for any errors... If there are none go back to the home menu.
Install/Flash the Cleanwipe ZIP, watch for errors.. When this is complete go back home and Install/Flash the ROM ZIP, if there are no errors go Home and Install Gapps, if still no errors reboot the device and disconnect the USB cable.
There is currently no way to S-Off the device without it being bootable.

Hello, I am unable to get into recovery or in my rom. I can getting into the bootloader, but cannot get into recovery. I am on 1.50 HBOOT and phone is unlocked. I would like to get back to stock so I can do an OTA update. Any help would be great, please let me know if you need more information.

What happend to your recovery? Also you need to fastboot oem lock while in hboot using adb
If you wanna go stock you will need the RUU exe you can find this in footballs post in the dev section...

if you have a copy of your boot.img and/or your recovery.img file flash that through your fastboot usb screen and reboot you should be ok pending your /system and /data partitioms are ok... if not follow the rest....
ok im goignt to guess youre new to flashing and the android development... but first thing is first... download the stock recovery zip on the other listed thread and rename it PG86IMG.zip... then reboot into your hboot/bootloader.... this will install a stock rom and recovery AFTER that you must reboot then shut down and reboot into your hboot again and from there go to fastboot and plug in the usb cable so your prompt says fastboot usb and then relock your boot loaderafter that finishes reboot again to the ROM and then run your updates... after you get the updates you want you can unlock again and then reinstall superuser and proceed as you want....

Ok following your instructions I downloaded the RUU (two of them infact) changed the name to PG86IMG.zip, when booting into the bootloader, it starts checking the PG86IMG.zip file, there is a blue status bar on the top right, when it fills completely in, it just starting checking the SD card for files again, and then goes back to the normal bootloader screen with options to select fastboot, factory reset, etc... Is there something I missed? I believe there should be some more options.
EDIT: the football post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1334473 only goes to .exe files, I had downloaded a .zip file from a different source with the same name, Should I have changed the .exe to PG86IMG.zip?

no...do not install the exe file at all.... the zip file if it is a trusted source should work...after it loads the files it finishes booting into the hboot screen...from there you can boot into the rom to verify that there is no superuser program and then power down and boot into your hboot again and relock your bootloader then reboot to the rom and update....when you boot back into the rom after installing the zip file it should look like the way it was when you first got it...if not you may have the wrong zip file
Ok I found out there was a zip on that page, I will download that and see where I get. Thank you so much for the help so far.
Ok issue is solved. I guess I needed to be relocked before I could update with PG86IMG.zip. So I guess in the future make sure you are not rooted when trying to update
I recently applied the 4.03.605.2 update to my rezound, re-unlocked the bootloader and put amon ra recovery on their. I went to developer options> install su and super user. it says all goes well, so i restart my phone, and i have no root access, any ideas?

Try putting the file on the ROOT of your SD card. Navigating through folders to get to it will botch the installation.

See (1) refered link above to review ROM and steps.
1. Skipped step one - updating firmware -- not a n00b, just made the critical forgot to check the plug rule. /facepalm
2. Executed superwipe from OP
3. Moved the rom over
4. loaded rom
5. re-boot - BOOTLOOP
6. PANIC
7. crush 4ext and adb a recover (CWM)
8. go no where, but phone all wiped
9. after 4 hours sleep
10. located 4ext recovery and adb'd and now have 4 ext recovery back
CURRENT STATE -
Phone accessible in Bootloader or using $EXT recovery.
I have tried many of the varied options using many XDA and other resources. I am hitting my head against a wall as I am not isolating the exact problem and finding a clear route to resolve. I am not a n00b but made a n00b mistake and suffering miserably (wel all need reminders i spose).
I have a img file that is reviewed via the bootloader but it does not accept it. I need to identify a rom that allows me to get this device operable before i suffer the wrath of my loving wife. (naw she's pissed :laugh: ).
I am looking for ideas and simple assistance. When the bootloader first presents the following messages are seen before it fails on the img it processes:
SD Checking
Loading [P86DIAG.zip]
no image!
Loading [PG86DIAG.nbh]
No Image or wrong image!
loading PG86IMG.zip
---my voice it refreshes quickly reshows above with a No image! error I think---
So what I imagine is as follows:
in my panic, i inadvertently deleted all required base .img files in order for the device to boot into ANDROID. So, to that end, what would be the best way to get me back to an operable device, please note, all resources I have chased in the past 10 hours on this have led me to links that are dead or sites that have or are dealing with cease and desist requests.
Please, excuse my post if this is deemed inappropriate, delete/close the thread and PM me if you must, I have not participated much in XDA trying to respect rules etc, but this HTC device is kicking my trash.
Thanks in advance, I can provide more specifics as requested and I will monitor this thread as I need to resolve this today Also, chasing the threads offered as suggested threads through the review post feature, this is a nifty tool...kudos to the mods....
You are S-ON and rooted but probably don't have a bootable kernel installed so 4EXT SmartFlash isn't going to work. Try booting into recovery using the following fastboot command:
fastboot boot recovery.img (where "recovery.img" is the name of your 4EXT file)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
After recovery boots, make sure the SmartFlash (S-ON) option is disabled in the tools menu of 4EXT then try flashing a ROM again.

IS there a clean version of - 4EXT_Recovery_Touch_v1.0.0.5_RC7.zip already in PG86IMG.img format? I think I am already at that stage ramjet, but going through the motions now. Thanks for the reminder. Will report shortly. Thanks!
Edit: I get 4EXT loaded - receive unconfirmed use 4ext to set me up message. -- just stepping through...next is to try to fastboot or recovery a rom in.

If you can get into 4EXT to flash a ROM you don't need to install it again.
Your SD card may be corrupted and you should try backing it up to a PC, formatting it and restoring the backup. You also need to make sure that the MD5 for the copy of the zip file on the SD card matches the file that is on your PC because you may have a bad or intermittent USB cable that is causing your SD card and the files on it to get corrupted.

I agree...I am switching usb cables now....i reformatted sdcard yesterday to a clean fat32 only card (16gb) in case the MD5's were happening here. didn't think to exchange usb cables, doing now....
OK....
interesting problem outcome --
I just tried the following and it failed:
C:\rootevo3dnew>fastboot boot Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_2.17.651.5_odex.zip
creating boot image...
creating boot image - 401399808 bytes

OKAY [ 53.410s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: reproduce boot image with on-flash ramdisk error)
finished. total time: 53.530s
C:\rootevo3dnew>
so my next steps are as follows:
1. exchange usb cables
A. - redo -- fastboot boot recovery.img (where "recovery.img" is the name of your 4EXT file)
2. re-download ROM - would love a suggestion of a working ROM --http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1641115 -- using the Last episode
MD5 Sum: 82f821e8f2b426d576f686b3ae8bd005
3. check Md5's using 4EXT after load
4. reload using 4EXT tool
5. report success/failure/outcome

You can't boot the ROM zip file with fastboot. You need to boot the recovery file as I indicated in my prior post, make sure the SmartFlash option is off in the tools menu of 4EXT, format all partitions except SD card from the wipe/format menu, and then flash the ROM zip file from 4EXT.
Take your time and follow the directions carefully and you should be able to get it to boot.

UPDATE:
Switched SDCARDS-
Flashing currently using TheLastEpisode.zip.
Flash took, however gets into splash screen animation on the rom -- then reboots, seems like a bootloop. in the bootloader the no image! errors still present.
Ideas? I am flashing another rom now to see if problem deplicates with another rom. I know I am now close

It's essential that you boot recovery from fastboot, disable SmartFlash/S-ON in 4EXT and "format all partitions except SD card" before flashing a ROM since your are S-ON and don't have a bootable kernel.

what a PITA. It took me four cycles to understand exactly what you meant. I went through the various iterations and it appears to finally be out of the bootloop.
thanks ramjet. voila!
Thanks for helping a hoale out!
Sorted... thanks for the remi ders ramjet...cheers
I was on 4.0.3 and I flashed the zip through AromRa recovery.
Now, when booting up, its stuck at the 4G screen.
The update was the OTA update released to update radios to Global. THIS
It didn't gave any error at all, it said "Reboot to complete installation or update". But when I clicked the reboot option, I saw a line saying something like "Can't write....." then the screen went off and it rebooted. This line was not there, or atleast not visible before I clicked the reboot option.
I am new to rezound and android, so please let me know what I can do. I wasn't able to get a nandroid backup before doing this, had no ext. SD card.
All I did before flashing the zip was flashing the custom recovery. Nothing else. No SU or anything else.
Can I RUU 4.0.3 to fix this problem?
Yes you need to ruu to get it back. I'm assuming your s on. You need to be s off in order to flash radios by themselves.

Yes, I am s-on and not rooted.
Is there any specific RUU that I should go to? I was thinking of using 4.03.605.2
Thanks

Yes, that's the latest global RUU.
You need to relock to run it:
fastboot oem lock
Put it on your sd card and it should do it's thing when you reboot. Run it a couple times and make sure it's finished so it will get all the system files. I believe it reboots you once it's done.
Then you can unlock again, flash recovery and root. If you have trouble rooting again search this forum for "super su" and you'll find a version you can flash to gain root.

I relocked but then tried flashing the zip twice.
Here's what comes in cmd:

OKAY

After rebooting, it gets stuck on the white HTC screen.
sounds like a bad download, go back to android police and try to get the mirror from Illinois, it worked for me a couple of weeks ago after having the same issue as you.

Thanks mike.
I downloaded the same RUU from a different source and flashed it. But the same failed remote not allowed error.
1 question.
In adb, do I need to type the command fastboot flash zip PH98IMG.zip in the hboot (with otions fastboot, recovery, clear storage, simlock, image crc) or after selecting the fastboot option at the hboot screen?
I am asking because nothing happens when I put the command while on the hboot screen and I get the remote error when commanded from the fastboot screen.

You have to fastboot oem rebootRUU first
then fastboot flash zip PH98IMG.zip
you may have to flash the zip twice.

You don't flash this in fastboot since it's a zip file.
EDIT: Looks like you can flash in fastboot as mentioned in the above post. Cool, I like that. I would flash it twice as I've read several times that you need to to make sure it gets all the system files.
If htat doesn't work for whatever reason, just put it on the sd card of your phone, detach your phone from your pc and reboot. hboot should find it (it looks for the PH98IMG.zip file) and flash it. Flash it twice to be sure it gets all the system files.
When it's done and you're rebooted use a file explorer and delete the PH98IMG file so it doesn't flash again on the next reboot.
i was running vipermaxspc 2.0 rom and wanted to try another (adrenaline 1.5 sprint) so i loaded into twrp with the rom on my sd card. to install it it told me to use swipe wipe so i used that, after getting notified adrenaline was installed successfully i rebooted and ti would not load anything so i hit factory restore feature in the hboot thinking that's what i needed to do. a few things later and now i can not enter TWRP (recovery mode) it flashes for a split second and then automatically reboots, i am able to still reach hboot and fastboot usb. i can lock and unlock the bootloader. i took a micro sd card out of the phone since i was seeing errors

check sd results in system rebooting, if i remove the sd card i do not get the errors from above. did i brick my device, if not how can i fix this constant rebooting so i can at less get back into recovery mode
thanks to MrT69's post "how to s-off @ hboot 2.49.000" i simply downloaded his link'd s-off package and flashed his copy of the recovery.img file with the commands
fastboot oem recoveryRUU
fastboot recovery recovery.img
i am now back in the TWRP screens hoping i don't do what i did before and somehow the magic works this time. i guess this is called a Softbrick not a bricked phone. hope this helps others who are newer to these android magical wands.
