Awesome!
So, if I am on BadBoyz 3.2 currently, and am S-on, my path forward would be:
Restore my stock, unmodified backup
Lock bootloader
Run/flash RUU
Unlock bootloader
Am I missing anything?

haha, yeah u could just flash the RUU & that's it....there's no need to lock bootloader anymore
an alternate solution...flash 4.27.651.4 signed firmware, flash latest twrp, flash stock rooted 4.27.651.4 ROM I just posted...data stays intact

Well, I'll be damned!
I should have any important local data backed up at this point, so it's probably better to just nuke the thing and start with a fully clean install.
So, just windows drivers, run RUU, boom fully stock Nougat build and FW, still unlocked, ready for TWRP and a rooted ROM? That easy? No April Fools?? :cyclops:
:edit:
I may fire this off at work, so I haven't installed HTC drivers on this computer yet. Just plugging the phone in, I see no unknown devices in device manager. I see "0PGA2" in portable devices, and also ADB interface in USB devices. ADB Devices returns:
List of devices attached
HT54LSV05110 offline
Still smart to install HTC drivers? Anything newer than 4.2.0?

I'm using these drivers: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BzxgIK5ppvWwTzc0RlQyLS1jd2s
as for the RUU, I always prefer using the sd card method....sooo easy!
yep, after flashing ruu, just flash latest twrp...and really at that point, you could just manually flash supersu or magisk (this will keep /system untouched)...I've turned into a Magisk fan

Thanks for that link. The BMP driver installed,, but the HTC Driver 4.8.0.002 file doesn't do anything. I get a quick "thinking" cursor, then nothing... hmmm.
What's the SD card method? Haven't tried that, but have a big empty card in the phone.

That would be an issue with S-on though, right? I was hoping that the RUU.exe would take care of it all in one shot. Or is firmware flashing first only needed with the SD card method?

I am wanting to run the RUU exe, but am hesitant because ADB doesn't seem to be working properly.
I have tried a few versions of ADB.exe, older ones show the device as "offline", newer ones say "unauthorized".
I've tried every troubleshooting step I can think of, forcing install of latest Google drivers (code 10 driver can't start in device manager), restarting the computer and phone multiple times, toggling USB debugging, manually pushing the adbkey.pub file to data\misc\adb\adb_keys\, toggling the USB connection to "charging" mode, etc.
Nothing seems to work. Best I can tell, the phone should prompt me for an RSA authorization. Any ideas? Does it matter for RUU exe?

I was really just trying to pull some files, because MTP sucks. When I couldn't get it to work, I wondered if that signified some issue in the USB connectivity which could cause an issue running the RUU exe via USB.
No worries?

Yeah, tried that one as well. Says unauthorized.
You think that presents an issue for the RUU? I got the files transferred.
:edit:
Apparently so. The RUU said it couldn't connect to the phone. (Error 170)
Phone says it is "connected as media device" / "use USB for file transfers".
Device manager shows Android USB Devices -> My HTC, and also Portable Devices -> 0PJA2. Can transfer files via MTP.
Do I need to install the whole Android SDK or something?
::edit2::
I uninstalled all HTC and Android drivers / software. Installed HTC Sync Manager (which installs the drivers needed), but when I run it, it says "no phone connected". Same situation where I can see the phone storage as an MTP device, but something seems to be missing.
Sorry for all the handholding!
I think I should just flash the signed firmware (full firmware from RUU in your thread, right?), then the RUU zip version, like you suggested before.
Hmmmm... that didn't work
I wasn't able to run the RRU.exe from my pc. My bootloader was unlocked and i was s-on.
I tried to flash the firmware from the sd card and it stayed on the htc screen. So i just went with the RRU.zip.
I ended up getting the RRU.zip from here and putting it on the sd card and renaming it as mentioned. That worked for me and i am up and running on the nougat.

Ok, so I got my rezound today and the first thing I did was unlock the bootloader because of the factory reset, I didnt want to adjust any settings just to wipe them out. So i unlocked the bootloader and everything was smooth. Then I rebooted my phone and then tried to install Amon Ra via the guide in the development section. I did everything to the tee but the phone never rebooted automatically so I manually rebooted and then powered down. I deleted the PH98IMG file from my sd card (which was for the 1.02.605.6 version) Then I tried to access the Recovery via the volume down and power buttons. When it looks like the recovery is going to load but I get an image of a phone with an exclamation point inside of a red triangle ...???? So i booted my phone back up it would no longer connect via USB mounting as storage, I tried everything from formatting the SD card to factory resetting, to rebooting my computer. No idea why that all of a sudden my USB would not connect, I get a CD ROM auto play notification with a white square with VZ inside of it, WTF!?! Ok, also I cannot update to the newest software version. I even relocked but when my phone says checking for new software it just dissapears and nothing happens. This is so frustrating, I just wanted to install Amon Ra to perm root so I could install cleanrom but apparantley im doing something wrong and I have no idea, just trying to follow directions, theres just so many files and im not sure if I have the right ones
I tried to install Amon Ra with the AIO by Hasoon but all I get is a command prompt with this in it
'C:\Users\User\Documents\Desktop\HTC' is not recognized as an internal or extern
al command,
operable program or batch file.
C:\Users\User\Documents\Desktop\HTC ReZound\AIO Toolkit\Rezound_All-In-One_Kit_V

Also, I charged my phone for like 2 hours when I got it, briefly powering it on twice, the battery light is still orange and the meter under about phone/battery is full and it still says charging???
EDIT: My device is connecting via USB all of a sudden magically....

Did you installed htc sync in your computer?
Sent From My Optimized Blasting 4GLTE ReZound
Yes I had to have the drivers installed to unlock it.... One more thing, I just did the oneclickroot method and it says that I now have perm root. I thought the one click was just a temp root. So I factory reset and still had root. Got the tether up and running now I just need to figure out how to install a recovery so I can flash roms.

That's interesting...
Anyways about recovery. Did you try pushing the recovery.img with adb commands? In fastboot?
Sent From My Optimized Blasting 4GLTE ReZound
Yes definately do it from fastboot. I just makes things to much easier.
Also I would apply the OTA before you get to far into the setup process as it will require you to relock your phone to get the new radios from Verizon.

I did relock my phone "fastboot oem lock" from fastboot...it verified that it was "relocked" at the top. Then I tried to boot up the phone and checked for new updates and it searched for about 20 seconds and then just dissapeared and did nothing, just like when it was unlocked. I'm nervous to do anything to this thing now, i tried to restore a backup of apps that I had backed up from my Droid X, and it stuck at the boot logo, I've had to factory reset a handful of times already trying to figure this thing out. I just spent 2 hours re downloading all the apps I had. I suppose I would make a new backup before I try anything else.
Ok first of all you should never do a restore from a phone other than the one you are restoring to, that is just asking for problems.
Next, google RUU_Vigor.
You want the 2.01 version. This will give you the update and wipe your phone clean as if you had just taken it out of the box, meaning it will delete all your data.
After it is complete you can download the Amon Ra img file. Place that in the same directory that adb and fastboot are in. Rename it to Amon_Ra.img. Get your command line to the folder that you have fastboot in and then type this command, "fastboot flash recovery Amon_Ra.img" (without the quotes)
You now have the update and Amon Ra loaded on your phone. Boot into recovery and install su from the developer menu and boom you are done. Phone rooted.

Ok, awesome. This sounds doable except installing the RUU, I found the file and its downloading now but how do I install it? I notice it's a zip file but do I extract it and install the contents of it via fastboot as well? Or is there a way to flash zips with the stock recovery menu? Also, I am guessing a backup would be wise before this and the current version of Amon Ra is 3.14, the one titled "recovery-ra-vigor-3.14-gnm.img" . Just rename it to Amon_Ra.img, place it in platform-tools of my SDK files and install via fastboot?
Also, isn't there a newer RUU? A leaked 3.10.605.13? I have seen that ROMs are based off it but I cannot find the actual file anywhere...
No. The RUU is for official releases only. If you're getting the PHzip file of it then just put it on your ext sd card and it will run in bootloader. Just boot the phone and it will find it. Then make sure to delete that file when it's done so your phone won't find it every time you boot.
If you download the exe file then you run it on your PC by double clicking on it and will need HTC.sync installed.
As to Amon Ra, personally I don't like to rename files I've downloaded from a dev so they don't get lost and disorganized. It's up to you, but you don't have to rename it to flash it, just type the name it has exactly. People rename it for easier typing I guess so if you do that I would suggest at least keeping the version number in the name.
Then after you flash Amon Ra, navigate to its developer menu and install su and then you'll be rooted.

Ok, so I factory reset my device after making a backup with mybackuppro, relocked my device and placed the 3.54mb PHzip from scottsroms website onto the root of my SD card, booted up into bootloader, it checked the file and then nothing. Rebooted the phone and checked the software version, nothing changed. I dont see how something so simple is so frustrating.....I could try to download the larger file thats like 449mb but its titled "Stock Rooted ROM - Vigor - WWE 2.01.605.11.zip" from scottsroms website and its not a PHzip. Should I rename it PH98IMG.zip? then try that?

If you really want to start fresh you need to grab the RUU. That is the official release from HTC and will put you completely back to stock. Get it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22045045&postcount=58
I recommend going the RUU route to be certain you get your phone wiped clean. When I ran it for a fresh start it got rid of old folders/files that flashing a ROM did not. Here's some instructions I posted for someone before:
5) Download the RUU for your mainver to your computer.
This is an exe file so just run it on your pc with your phone attached. You need to be locked and you need HTC Sync installed. Now you are back to stock.
5a) Unlock your phone again using the same unlock bin file you got before by putting it in the same folder you are now using for sdk. Type the following command:
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
If you don't have it obtain a new one by following the same steps you did before to get it originally. Here is a guide for that:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20780879&postcount=1
Now you should be stock and unlocked.
6) Flash Amon Ra in fastboot. Get the lateset version, 3.14.
Type the following command to flash it:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-ra-vigor-3.14-gnm.img
Now you should have Amon Ra on your phone.
7) Root your phone by installing su using Amon Ra. Go to the developer menu and find the option in there.
Now you should be stock, unlocked and rooted.
8) MAKE A NANDROID BACK UP NOW AND LABEL IT.
9) Flash a new ROM.
If you use that Stock Rooted ROM, just place it on your ext sd card, then go into Amon Ra and navigate to "flash from zip file" or something like that and select that and it will flash in recovery. Mostly kernels are renamed PHzip and will flash in hboot.

That smaller file you downloaded was most likely just a kernel.

Ok, now I see. I think I had to install an older version of Amon Ra since my software version was older. I succesfully installed Amon Ra 3.10 and installed su and superuser, now I see that I can just flash zips from the menu much like CWM recovery on my Droid X. Now I just have to figure out why my f&%!ing router keeps dropping to local only every 5 minutes, it won't stay connected long enough for me to download an RUU file that size...
So if I flash the zip from scottsroms website do I have to put the kernel on the memory card as well so that it flashes correctly? Thats assuming that the PHzip file is the kernel
Do you have a link or know where I could find an all in one zip file so i dont have to mess around with seperate kernels...a zip that i could flash that has the basebands and everything, i would use the RUU that you posted a link to but its an exe and im not sure what to do with that...
Yes, you need to flash the kernel separately for that.
There is a thread for another stock ota ROM by con247. He has the update packed into it so it will flash the ROM then take you to hboot to flash the update. You need to lock your phone before flashing the update to get the new radios.
So...
Put ROM on sd card
Flash in recovery
When you get to bootloader put phone in fastboot and connect to PC
Relock phone
Flash PHzip in hboot
Unlock phone
Flash Amon Ra if needed (can't recall if you'll have stock recovery now or not)
Install su
The RUU is really easy. Just download it to your computer and double click on it. just have phone locked and HTC sync installed.

I think I may be slightly confused. The RUU is the update right? I just want the most current OTA update with the latest basebands and any bugs that were worked out in the January OTA...Once i'm updated I want to flash a ROM, or do I not need to update in order to flash ROMs? I wanted to check out the newest cleanrom but it says its based off of a leaked software version so idk really where to begin with that one...
The RUU is the complete ROM/kernel/recovery with updates, as long as you get the 2.x one. It will get you stock updated with a factory fresh phone.
You can also get stock with the update from the con237 Stock OTA ROM, which is different than the RUU at that link that con247 also posted.
You do need to update if you want the latest radios.
Are you downloading to your computer? Perhaps you can download to your phone using 4g? Or 3g if you don't get 4g where you are.

Are you downloading to your computer? Perhaps you can download to your phone using 4g? Or 3g if you don't get 4g where you are.

So I tried to run that RUU exe with my phone plugged in although my PC would not pick up my device and an installshield popped up and looked like it was loading something, but then it dissappeared and nothing happened. So I uninstalled the HTC drivers along with HTC sync and then reinstalled them. My device was then recognized by the computer but something calle TL-bootstrap wanted to install. I just ignored it. So with the phone plugged in I tried to run the RUU exe again and the same thing happened, nothing...
i flashed fresh evo lte yesterday via goo manager to update radios, ran flash img gui to go back to aosp, then flashed cm10.1 but it wouldnt boot. eventually i ended up formatting my internal SD, removing my external SD completely, flashing back to fresh evo and it worked, but still no internal storage. i dont know why but im wondering if my internal storage is labeled wrong, or just toasted.. no access to fastboot or adb. no form of formatting so far has worked
im on hboot 1.15.0000, radio 1.05.11.0606, s-on, twrp 2.2.2.0

A rom will not update your firmware/radios
If I remember correctly CM,AOSP,AOKP roms mount your internal storage differently.
Your TWRP is veryyyyyy old
Y U NO S-OFF it will save you alot of headaches
FacePalm in Original Dev takes about 5 minutes now goooooo
Once S-OFF you can update your firmware/radios manually

heh i did this all before s-off was even an option ill your suggestion, i wasnt sure how to go about s-off now that i have no internal storage:/
edit: need a working adb environment for that:/ ill try flashing my last aosp rom to see if that will get me a working adb enviroment to mount the storage then push the kernel through.
I don't think it'll be possible to get S-off right now w/o adb access. i wonder if relocking would allow you to flash a stock ruu and restart. That's probably not possible w/o adb either though.
What does "adb devices" say when you connect your phone? Are you checking the obvious and making sure that usb debugging is enabled?
i decided to reinstall java and android sdks, and it appears i have restored a working adb environment. i try to get s-off now before bed.
edit: nope. well fastboot not working at least.

Make sure you update android-sdk then reboot your PC plug your phone back in and it should install more drivers it did for me anyways after I updated
I suggest doing the following:
Uninstall all drivers and HTC Sync
Reboot computer
Grab the *standalone* drivers from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2246355
Run the installer from above
Reboot computer again
Plug in your phone, have it install drivers
Reboot your computer and phone
Now plug in your phone one last time and it should install the rest of the drivers

I'm currently using a Macbook Pro and NOT Windows PC. I rooted my Rezound March 2012 with PC at time. Well awhile back I had accidentally deleted some system files from stock gingerbread 2.3.4 ROM. Now i'm not able to update my device to ICS to make use of the global capabilities. I installed Scotts ROM 2.3.4 a copy of it but it never recovered the system files that were missing. I would like to be able to S-Off (couldn't perform wire trick) and flash either CM 10.2 (Jelly Bean 4.3) or CM 11.0 (kitkat 4.4). I've read without being on stock baseband radio (ICS) I'm not able to perform a flash to new ROM. Anyone have any suggestions to proceed further? Thanks!
Well first of all you can use rum runner from the general section to soff with out wire trick. You say that the gingerbread boot loader doesn't support fastboot?

ah i see your point well forgot about the mac thing but pc's shouldnt be too scarce maybe use a friend's? cause rumrunner is amazing. and can you not just flash the latest recovery via fastboot and then flash the 4.0.3 stock and then fastboot flash the boot.img then do a system update through settings then root it then install the latest recovery again and then install your rom of your choice and gapps then fastboot flash the boot.img?

That's exactly what I was telling pball52998 I had planned on doing. Except with mac it's difficult and without being able to get to ICS with the radio capabilities I can not go that route. I need to obtain stock gingerbread containing ALL system files including the system OTA update file I originally deleted. When i had to re-do my phone over a year ago and re-flash gingerbread because my device was messed up I was NOT able to access files that I had deleted in system. I was supposed to freeze them not uninstall originally. Unless there's an ICS unoffical ROM with all working radios and global capabilities then I'm forever stuck on Stock gingerbread. Do you understand? And using another persons PC is a no go because i have to install software ADB on their computer and I'm 100% sure they would not be ok with it at all. It's getting late here now. so goodnight to you. :good:

ADB doesn't need to be installed, you can just drop the files into a temp folder, run what you need and delete them.
As for getting your phone up to ICS, this will wipe your phone (including the Internal SD, back up anything you want off to your computer), upgrade your phone to ICS and the hboot to 2.27 which is sufficient for installing JB/KK roms.
As long as your hboot is 2.27 or older and your bootloader is locked, it should work fine, follow the directions on the page. If none of the mirrors work, Raventech has it posted in a thread here also.

It automatically goes into Hboot and does not recognize any PM98IMG file. To mention the zip extention is not needed. And I put it on the internal sd therefore it can not be read properly by the device. I'll try to take a video of what i'm talking about with my ipod touch. Hold on.

Ahh, I thought you meant you couldn't get into hboot before. Can you run any adb from your mac at all? Might be able to push the file to your SD card that way.

Hello,
I was recently given a bootlooping Evo 4G Lte. I have been trying to figure out how to get this thing out of a bootloop and havent been able to do it. I, unfortunately, have no history on what happened to this device. Currently, it bootloops on the "Mean Bean" loading screen but will go no further. I can get into the bootloader, which says it is Unlocked, S-On, but I am unable to boot it into a recovery, it just returns back to bootloader. I have tried fastbooting twrp, but it fails (remote: image update error), and I have tried fastbooting the Mean Bean kernel thinking maybe thats all it needs, but that failed as well. Anybody have an insight? Much appreciated! Thanks.

I would run the 3.17 RUU. Hit the top link in my sig and look at the last post in the thread. You can run it from the bootloader. You'll need to re-root afterwards but it should get your phone back in working condition.

Thanks for the quick reply. I downloaded the RUU and ran it. However it sits and says "Waiting for bootloader" then errors out with "USB connection issue". The usb is working. The reason I never ran the RUU in teh first place was because i thought i read that you cant RUU with and unlocked bootloader. Is that not true? or is that my problem?
Mike
Not 100% sure but I will check with someone who used this tool recently and see if they were still unlocked at the time. Were you connected via Fastboot USB? Sounds more like a driver issue.

Yeah I was connected and it said fastboot USB. It said rebooting to bootloader and rebooted, still said fastboot USB. Then it sat at a screen that said "waiting for bootloader" and after a while error ed out.
You can try relocking. You just need to run the command "fastboot oem relock" from a command line while connected via fastboot USB mode.

you can use the stock RUU and you can leave the bootloader unlocked as it will not affect anything.. it will fix your looping problem (Amongst others) as in gps not working ect.. once your done you will need to fastboot over your TWRP and from there mod as normal Good Luck! and ill be watching if you need any help!

When in doubt update your android SDK remove the htc drivers reboot install drivers reboot and you should be good to go! Check the integrity of your USB cable and if possible use a rear USB port (More Power) Painful process yes but well worth it.. HTC drivers act strange till you reboot OOOh and make sure your using the proper HTC drivers for windows 32 bit or 64 bit!

The drivers seem to be ok, but I am still not able to get any further. The RUU finds my phone, then reboots again to bootloader, but it just sits there saying "Waiting for bootloader" until it errors out due to "USB Connection error". I have tried a few different cables, and different USB ports. Not sure what the problem is but it just wont go any further. I re-unlocked my bootloader with htcdev. I have tried fastbooting a recovery to the phone but it errors out. I just cant get anything to work so I can boot anything. I really just want to get something working...anything! Any other ideas? Thanks.

make sure the file is just the PJ75IMG no additional text and it should be .zip If I recall correctly. make sure its on the root of the sdcard not internal but sd or external and it should be at the top level e.g. sdcard/ make sure its not in any other folders after you do that hold power and vol down get to hboot screen itll scan and then just follow the instructions.

Sounds like a bit of a pickle. I'll need a bit more info to make sure I point you in the right direction.
Which version (carrier) of the M7 is it?
Do you still have a custom recovery? Which one?
S-On?
What version of the software did you have on the phone before modifying?
PC/Mac/Linux? Which version?
Do you have working adb and fastboot drivers?
Have you re-unlocked the bootloader? (You should if you want to do more custom stuff)
Are you going back to Sense or a non Sense based rom?
Curious as to why you would relock the bootloader unless you had planned on returning to stock with an RUU...?

Ok, so far so good. however I'm not clear if the "yes" answer is for the working adb / fastboot drivers or if you have re-unlocked the bootloader. You're using ST, but is the phone originally an ATT, T-mo, or International version? And does the PC recognize when you plug in the phone while in TWRP? If so, are there any error messages like USB Device Not Recognized or anything of the sort?

Ok, so seems like there is a couple things going on. First off, if you are trying to unlock the bootloader, then why are you trying to send recovery? And secondly, sounds like you are having some issues with drivers perhaps. When you go to your Device Manager, do you have any yellow exclamation points for HTC? Fastboot options only work in bootloader and adb will only work in recovery or booted into the OS. Here's what we should do, check drivers, re-unlock the bootloader, fastboot flash the latest recovery, then make sure adb is working to either sideload a rom or push one to your internal storage.

If it's not working on the PC then it's an issue with drivers, cord, or ports. Most likely drivers. You never mentioned what your Device Manager says when you plug the phone in. Step number 1 was to check drivers, yet you didn't mention trying to troubleshoot that or anything of the sort.

In what mode on the phone are you that it shows this and are there any yellow exclamation points? Are you using a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port? 2.0 is recommended. When you are in the bootloader and choose fastboot, does it change to fastboot usb on the phone?

in fastboot mode drivers are good; in recovery mode the driver is under other devices named one and that is yellow with error code 28. my ports are 2.0. yes it does change

Ok, well if fastboot drivers are working, then what trouble are you having doing the unlock again? Just gotta use the unlock.bin file you got from HTC. But your adb drivers are messed up in recovery so that will prevent you from being able to adb push or sideload. This is not an uncommon issue with HTCs in recovery on Windows. See if the drivers from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2232799 will get you back on track. If that doesn't work, try the Universal Naked Driver.

nope, nothing. when i go to fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin, it does not go to the disclaimer, nothing happens. the universal naked drivers worked for adb.

Well something has to happen, as in, what does it say on the CMD prompt when you enter the command? And if the drivers work for adb, then you wouldn't see the exclamation point in your device manager and you would be able to connect via adb in recovery.
ok, now I am at stock again. Not going to install slim roms unless I have all the files I need.

Glad you are back up again! Did you get an RUU to return to stock then? But yea, as a general rule of thumb, I never modify a device that I don't have the files and guide on how to return to stock.
