POSTING IN ONE FORUMS BECAUSE NEED URGENT HELP AND REZOUND FORUMS ARE NEARLY DEAD. THANK YOU!
Dear Friends,
I need some urgent help. I used to be a proficient HTC user, flasher and etc, but have not used an HTC product since the Rezound. I had my Rezound flashed to Page Plus, but now I am back on Verizon, and need to get back to my Rezound as an emergency, as I broke my current phone. Popping in the Verizon sim card is just not working so I have to restore to factory settings so I can use it on Verizon again with an RUU.
Problem is, I have forgotten EVERYTHING about rooting, unrooting, s-off, s-on, Bootloader unlock/relock, and RUUing back to stock for HTC. I have tried reading some guides, but they are not making sense to me, and I am scared I will end up bricking my phone trying to RUU back.
Can someone please point me to a step-by-step method on how to return back to a factory Verizon ROM? Here is what my phone says:

I am on a custom ROM which is rooted (Android 4.03, HTC 4.0, ViperRez 1.0.3) I guess that means I have an unlocked bootloader? I am also s-off it seems? I just need to do the minimal to RUU back to stock. After I have the Verizon radios, PRLs, and NAMs and etc, I will need to root my device again, even look into a AOKP option for the phone like the CarbonROM.
Please guys, I need some hand holding back to knowing how this was done. Thank you for your prompt help in advance!
Anyone guys?? I need desperate help, can someone please help me via Hangouts or something?
Thank you!
You must not on a custom or hex edited hboot, if you do you can brick your device... if you have one you must return to the stock Hboot first, this is before my time... they were already going away when I got into the Rez, not sure how to help with that part but it wasn't uncommon with GB firmware (that you have).
Go to http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Vigor
then download
RUU_VIGOR_ICS_35_S_VERIZON_WWE_3.14.605.12_Radio_RS_1.22.10.0424r_3622A_MR3_9K_release_270509_signed.exe
Run the RUU as administrator, will get you to 3.14.605.12 completely stock, from there you need to OTA via a working Verizon connection...
To so it all manually, see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2509770

So I was trying to root my CDMA EVO 3d earlier and failed. It kept sticking on the sprint loading screen no matter what rom I flashed to it. I unlocked the bootloader through HTCDev. I then loaded the teamwin recovery and tried to flash a rom through that. I'm guessing I missed a few steps (first time messing with a droid) and locked it up. Now I got it relocked and tried to load the:
RUU_Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_2.08.651.3_Radio_0.97.10.0808_NV_SPCS_1.31_003_release_219445_signed.zip
but it was the wrong version appearently and I'm out of ideas as I've been working on this all day long. I just want to be able to use my phone again but if I could obtain a full root in the process that would be nice! I hope someone here can help because you guys are my last hope! I've done lots of reading and searching but nothing that has really explained my situation. Thanks in advance for any help!

Did you try the 2.17 one?

Yes I did try that one along with the newt rom, mikrom and a few others to no avail. :crying: I'm at a loss, I loaded the teamwin recovery back on, every time I flash a rom it gets stuck on the loading screen and never fully boots.
I just read that apparently, none of the old ruu work in the new hboot if s-on. I recommend you get s-off.
Edit: Not sure if that'strue as I've heard conflicting information.

Okay I'll try that next, thanks for the input!
I tried getting s-off by the Live CD method, booted it from a flash drive, locked it back up and when I went to brick it, it said the ruu was the wrong version. I used the version listed in the guide so I'm not too sure which version I need.
So I was told there is nothing that supports hboot 1.58? Is this correct? Can anyone confirm this? Guess I just have to wait for someone to put something together that supports it?
Fixed thanks to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1813818&highlight=hboot+1+58
Hey all,
I've been trying to figure out whether my phone can be rooted/s-off.
From my understanding of processes I think I've screwed myself with an OTA but figured I would ask this anyways.
In my Hboot screen it claims I have HBoot- 1.12.0000 which from everything I've read has the ability to achieve S-off.

(End Hboot screen)
Now the problem comes in since I accepted the OTA that put my phone's version to 1.22.651.3 710RD
From what I've read I'll be unable to root without using HTC's dev system.
So my questions are these:
1. Can I achieve root without using HTC's system? (From what I've read the answer is no, but hey no harm in asking it’s the q&a section after all. XD )
2. If not can I use HTC's system can I still achieve S-off?
3. If not do you think there will be a chance to see a root that doesn't use HTC's method?
4. If I can still achieve S-off using HTC's system can I then revert my phone to a RUU of 1.22.651.1 and reroot it from there?
Bonus questions:
5. From what I've read it seems like I'm unable to use RUUs unless I'm already rooted/s-offed but I'll ask it anyways can I use a RUU to restore back to 1.22.651.1 without rooting or being s-offed?
6. Can I perform a factory reset on the phone to get the phone to revert to version 1.22.651.1? (I'm assuming no here or everyone would've done it already. XD)
7. If yes, can I then use the non-HTC system to root my phone followed by s-offing my phone?
Thank you for your time.

you should search the lazypanda thread to see if v1.22.651.3 will work or go to unlimited.io

If your hboot is 1.12 you're good to go for s-off. Weird that you still have 1.12 after taking the ota though. I'd say go ahead and go for it...the worst that could happen is it won't recognize your phone or you soft brick and have to run the unbricker. That happened to me but I was back up and running in a few minutes.
Once you're s-off, you can flash any base you want...and firmware as well. Just avoid flashing older firmware than what you're currently running since others have bricked from doing that.
If s-off doesn't work for you, you can still htc dev unlock and be able to flash roms and kernels from any base. You just won't be able to flash firmware. RegawMOD should do the trick, just make sure to read about when to manually reboot the phone if you decide to go that route.

So After Rooting i made some changes in the rom to fix the facebook problem and it completely ruined it ! and now facebook is working again in the normal rom .,but not working with me .,so i want to get back to the stock status and install new unrooted stock g.b rom
so i tried to follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19339909&postcount=1 and i understood all the procedures but i can't get an hboot downgrade to 1.10.0000 and i don't know from where to get it + i don't really know where to get a stock rom that is compatible
Please i know i'm a noob and probably will be a huge pain in the ass but please someone help me ...,as this matter killing me !!
That hboot number looks weird, you sure its right? Did you do anything besides the S-Off procedure that changed your hboot (S-Off should not have changed that, I don't believe).
I'm assuming you didn't to a nandroid backup through Clockworkmod before messing with the ROM? If you did, just restore it. If not, you should always always always do a nandroid before messing with the ROM and/or doing any mods.
I don't see how returning to S-on is going to help your case at all. Its just a flag that basically allows all security measure to be bypassed. Going back to S-On isn't going to fix the mistakes you made, doesn't get you anything you don't already have, and will actually limit your options. I don't recommend it for that reason.
You can try to flash the stock rooted GB ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1175589
Normally I'd say to just run the correct RUU for your current hboot/firmware. But if you hboot version is messed up, that might be easier said than done.
A while ago, I followed a root method I found here so that I could pair my DualShock3 controller to my phone and it worked successfully.
Then after a few months, I started getting messages about wanting to update my phone, but the install provided from Sprint always failed. I typically just ignored the System Update messages because everything worked fine exactly the way I wanted it to. Then about a week ago, the reminders increased in frequency, like once a hour. I though, hey, lets go back to factory and update, then I can root again. So I went into the recovery of the phone and found the option for Factory Reset under the "Wipe" Menu. I hit the button, but it apparently also wiped some things off the ROM. Now, when I try to boot the phone, It just sits at the HTC logo.
I can still access the bootloader and the custom recovery, and I even found what looks to be the right ROM Version and moved it to the phone, but it appears that the ROM I downloaded is for S-OFF bootloaders only. The problem now is, that I cannot find any instructions that work for the older version in obtaining S-OFF with my phone. So, can someone please help me in getting my phone updated, either S-ON or S-OFF, I just want my DualShock to work at the end and have my phone usable, which it currently is not.
Here are the vitals.

I guess, what I really may need is the S-ON stock image for H-BOOT 1.19.0000, but every time I find a link, its dead. Does anyone know where I can find this? That way I can at least get back into my phone to attempt to figure out how to update it again.
Hit the link below. It's the 3.17 RUU. Afterwards, you can root your phone again with HTC Dev. I also suggest gaining S-off.

Any help would be appreciated guys, I know, some people are reading this thread. Do I just relock my Bootloader and run the RUU? Which one do I run and where do I get it?
Thank you in advance!
