Is the phone S-OFF?
How much access do you have to that phone if it is?
Nope S-ON. But I have unrestricted access for the next 30days
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
I may be wrong here (I assure you someone will chime in if I am ), but at this point we may need to keep a look out for any S-OFF Phones as these have the best chance of having a SD Card we can take an image from. If I'm correct in my thinking, this alone wont help us as the individual card should be tied to that phone. Unrestricted access to such a phone would allow it to be studied at the very least.
Anyone know of any CID spoofers for mSD cards?
Well we have more than one. I'll check them all out and get back

If you MUST install it, do it via OTA

Right. Only the OTA won't download on mine. I have a 30mbit connection for my wifi and Angry Birds downloads in seconds, but took the OTA 7 hours to get 3.5mb.
All of ours have S-ON RL...
Any idea what rl is?
Also if you can't download it OTA, I would assume renaming it to update.zip would work.

For some reason the Wi-fi on mine is screwy. 50mb connection from comcast and the router is right next tomine, same as my non 3d evo was on and I couldn't download a few games that needed to install data, would sit there and after about 3 minutes would say no internet connection....
It seems to work for apps and such in the market so I don't know. Just trying to provide as much info as I can. Just got it today too. Kind of buggy.
At one point would wake to lock screen and as soon as I pulled ring it went black, several times, not sure what made it work again.
Also, hit top button showed lock screen as only top half of screen. Had to reboot for this to clear....
I also know someone at the sprint store in my location and could ask him to look for a phone of that nature if we need it. Let me know.
i think the build number is old 1.11.651.3 i have 1.13.651.7

Then one might be able to find a chink in HTC's armor. For example, running fastboot/adb commands etc and comparing the output to normal phones. The missing functions between s-off and s-on would be significant.

I installed this 'renaming it to PG86IMG.zip' and now everything is kool except my wifi errors out. Doesn't even try to start...just gives me "error" when I try to start it.
I read in a few places that I need to use Goldcard to use OTA....any ideas if this is true or if I need to do something else??
BTW, I now have Hboot 1.40.00...instead of 1.30.00 so it won't even let me downgrade to factory shipping ROM.

Anybody have any ideas at all? I've been trying everytng and I'm out of country so I dont have cellular data either so I'm kinda screwed right now.

Sounds like a radio issue. Try getting the radio file, and renaming it to PC36IMG and run it thru your bootloader.

Just wanted to know how you guys fared with the recent S-OFF process. Just a quick and easy poll to see the results of the process, and to help determine the level of risk involved in going through this process.
I haven't yet done the S-OFF process, but do plan on it in the near future.
Success! no issues, guides were written for noobs to follow.

I'm pretty new at this, but I thought it was a piece of cake. Everything went smoothly. The only problem was the error 16 when I tried to make a call. I'll bet Sprint is getting tons of calls tonight on that one lol.
Clockwork didn't flash. But s off took and flashing twrp worked fine.
Rooted and got titanium working too.

I don't have 4g in my area and can't test it but is everyone else's 4g working fine without anything special
Got everything done in under 10 minutes. Process ran smooth and nothing really unexpected. The only snag I had was installing the superuser apk from the market, but I just used the fixed version I got on here and everything runs good now.
BTW...just restored my angry birds data using Titanium Backup. All those hours playing weren't wasted afterall!
I didn't have any issues but I do have a question, when I run ADB Shell from the command line I get $ instead of #, is there something I forgot to do or is this the normal state of this root method at this point? Root apps work, CWM recovery is installed, Superuser app is installed, can't seem to access anything or do much from the command line.

4G is working fine on my end
running da pretty s-offs and r00ts!
I first noticed this when the temp root was out that my stuck asleep issues, camera lockups, and other random bugs pretty well disappeared. With the first temp root I ran it over 9 days without a reboot and had zero problems. In fact the first issue was leaving 4G turned on and letting it go to sleep. Caused a reboot and I had to temp root all over again. That lasted till Monday this week when I used the Revolutionary to s-off and root. Since then I have had no real issues. I'm hoping that someone else has noticed this. I personally think that the security in the locked bootloader somehow caused some of the issues?

yeah, you need to have Sprint reprovision your line. You can try doing the hands free activation a few times, some report this works fine, but if you call sprint (or chat) and have them do a "data reset" it works every time and takes 5 minutes....it happened to me.
Also the newest radio sucks more than stock. I have had awesome results with the pre-release leaked radio. Same signal strength but killer data speeds (I actually saw 2.7mbps for the first time on sprint ever...on 3G), your results may vary.
I could never get wifi tethering to work on temp root. The it works fine on perm root

Me too I can no longer use the YouTube app unless I turn on Wifi and use my Fios. The 3G and 4G show signal, but the Youtube player won't play. I think the rooting through the radio did this because YouTube worked fine before. I'm still on the stock ROM, just S-OFF and rooted. Also, I did NOT get the error 16 after S-OFF and rooting, and was able to make and receive calls, and browse the internet. Speed test on 4G is 5 Mbps down and only .6 Mbps upload, 3G is 1.4 Mbps and .5 Mbps, and my Fios wifi piggyback is 19Mbps and 13Mbps, sorry Fios rocks!

Yup. Started a thread on this earlier. Ended up having to get a replacement. Even unrooting didn't fix it.
It's normal for custom roms to knock out bugs in stock software. This is not, I repeat this not a huge discovery.

U are correct but s-off allows users to make radio, pri, and other data provisioning changes that when not understood thoroughly how one depends on another and how also it can be kernel specific, causes lots of problems down the road.

I disagree. Data speeds went to $hit for myself and others after root...
I'm just going to say this as a bottom line
ROOTING AND ACHIEVING S OFF DOES NOT CHANGE ANY ROM/SOFTWARE THIS MEANS IT CAN HAVE NO EFFECT ON USER EXPERIENCE TIL SOMETHING WITHIN ANDROID IS MODIFIED.

- Boot into Recovery, and choose "install zip from sdcard"

Thanks, will try this tonight. I was so hoping to get rid of that activation nag.
Thank you very much my man, just what I needed.
Mirror added to OP
This works perfectly.
I accidentally found another way around this... Over the last weekend I somehow enabled my 4G radio. When I opened my browser I was redirected to https://deviceselfservice.sprint.com/dsa/4gportal/welcome.actiob.c... (URL shortened) So I did a little googling and found that you can get one day of free service on 3G/4G by using the promo code Free Day (it is case sensitive)... After a reboot, my tablet was able to activate with no issues and since the trial expiration, I haven't been bugged about it since.
So... If you aren't rooted and don't feel like taking the plunge, you can get rid of the nag screen this way.
been trying that free day code, not working for me.
Googled it as well and it is the right code, but cannot get it to work.
Did you type it all as one word? Capital F and D?
Just did the fix and it worked, quick and easy to do.

umm no one else has any problems. You need to be rooted for it to work since it removes a system file. If something is screwed up you did something wrong. There have been hundreds of downloads of this zip and you're the first that's claiming it's not working.

Yeah, I am looking forward to Revolutionary or someone to make it a one click routine. That would be nice.
Interesting. If I were to guess, I would say that HBOOT unlocks something in order to prep for a flash of a PH98IMG.zip ... when you intentionally brick the phone by messing with the flashable file you've left it in an unlocked state, which you can take advantage of after rebooting by directly copying to the raw partition a bootable image. Obviously some knowledge of the underlying phone hardware is needed in order to find, modify, or build from scratch this bootable image and finding the proper partition into which it needs to be copied -- the directions in the linked thread are for a different phone and different code and probably different partition names would be required.
This may not even work on the Rezound.
And, I should add, the potential to permanently and irrevocably brick your phone is quite high.
It might work with the signed eng hboot. I would try it if I had a backup device. Hell if someone has one that is in terrible condition that is going to do an insurance claim reguardless, I would ask them to try it out. Or have me help them try it.
I'm gonna give this a shot. Worse thing that happens is, I go and buy another Rezound (or something else).

Yeah- I remember how easy it was on the Incredible to root. Then on the Thunderbolt it was a little harder (for those who aren't comfortable with adp commands) and eventually a one-click process came up. Now, it would be great to have something like that on the Rezound and maybe, just maybe, be able to root without this big, ugly UNLOCKED / RE-LOCKED showing in H-Boot!

was just going to post this last night. good luck guys!
For anyone that wants to try it
Start with the OTA PH98IMG.zip
Then swap with our shipped PH98IMG.zip
So you should be trying to go from Hboot 2.11 to 2.10
Then when in linux, recover with the signed eng hboot image we have.
After that, I would recommend using fastboot to turn secure flag off (assuming you didn't brick and it worked)
Then flash a homemade PH98IMG.zip with everything except hboot in it.
What should be done first is identify which emmc block hboot is before you start this process.
woah... if we have a "signed" eng HBOOT why cant we just flash it over the one we already have?

sorry im just a little confused. ive had multiple android devices all which have been rooted and not all of them have had the bootloader unlocked. now this is my first htc product so im not really familiar with s-off. but i bought this phone thinking there were going to be lots of devs and everything working on it and this has killed my plans . i know patience is a virtue . i was just curious. i mean droid razrs have plenty of roms available and they are still on a locked bootloader
It all has to do with the exploit used to root the device. HTC has to have an unlocked bootloader so that you can use the bootloader to write the root files to the system folder.

if you have an unlocked b/l you can flash a custom recovery img which allows you to then flash a root package in that recovery
there is no current working exploit manually root the stock rom otherwise
