If you have s-off then you should either use rom manager or use fastboot
Most people on this thread use rom manager because its just so much easyer

Must have been a lot of searching in vain, because it's on the creator's website

He's not talking about just the CWR .img file I don't believe. It sounds like he wants a zip of CWR that he can flash via hboot like a radio which would install recovery. I'm not even completely sure that's possible.

It's not. Have to use fastboot. However, if you go to the link site, it has rom manager there as well, which will flash recovery for you...
If that's not good enough, then he's just being overly difficult.

Actually the recovery image was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks everyone

Hmm, actually it is possible (with engr hboot anyway). I just made one in about 2 minutes and tested and it seems to work fine. Flashed CWR from bootloader like a champ.
I'll put it up (if anyone happens to need it for whatever reason) when I get home.
Edit:
Eh, went ahead and uploaded it. Just put on sd, change name, and reboot to hboot like flashing a radio. You should then have ClockworkMod Recovery installed. If anyone feels like trying it, let me know how it goes.
This means one should be able to edit the custom upgrade firmware used in the original tutorial to include this and cut out a few post-rooting steps. It *should* give you CWR immediately after going through the tutorial without requiring RM. I haven't tested that part yet but the reasoning seems sound.
Edit2:
This is ClockworkMod Recovery 3.1.0.2 (latest for mecha at time of posting) btw.

Toolkit for the Rezound. Anyone interested?

So I made a toolkit for 3 HTC phones. You can see them in my signature. Would you guys / girls be interested in using a toolkit for an All-In-One use. If so, please let me know and I can work on it and probably have it up by tonight. Thanks!

Will do!
Just a question though. With flashing kernels, you have to flash it via recovery and then bootloader? For the Amaze / Sensation / Vivd, we can flash it just through the computer. I am trying to get a better idea so I can make the tollkit correct.

Pretty sure it's only bootloader for the kernel or fastboot for just the boot.img. Can't flash them through recovery, I don't think.
I am trying to find the boot.img for the kernels. If I can't find them, then I am done with the toolkit. If I can find them, then I can add it to the toolkit. I only found the flashable zip.

Correct. Modules for the kernel can be flashed in recovery, but the actual boot.img must be flashed in hboot.

Yes, and then in that PHzip file is the boot.img which can also be flashed on its own in fastboot if pulled out of the PHzip file.
Sometimes that is the preferred method since the phones and kernels are not always on the same mainver and if the text file included in the PHzip file has a different mainver than the phone it is being flashed to there will be an error. The error can be fixed by editing the mainver in the text file before flashing it, but flashing in fastboot avoids the error.
Some ICS ROM's brought people's mainver up to 3.x. Original stock was at 1.x and with the OTA stock is now 2.x. I believe most ROMs are on 2.x but there is a good number of people whose phones got updated to the 3.x version.
I can have the modules flash when the phone is on. That is how we flash the modules and can I just flash the boot.img via fastboot instead of the PH98IMG.zip?
Remember, I don't have the phone so I can't test it, so please bare with me lol.
Toolkit would be awesome.

I think so, but some people seem to be uncomfortable using fastboot. But using this tool it seems it won't be as daunting since they won't have to use the cmd prompt on the pc, right? How would it work?

Clockwordmod won't do anything

I now have clockwordmod installed and for the first time when i boot into recovery not matter what selection I try it when you hit power to select it just shows the clockworkmod logo. it doesnt go anyway. so i can't wipe data and i can't install from zip.
I tried to uninstall app and went into sdcard and removed the clockwordmod folder so i could just use the rezound's original recovery but still only the clockworkmod recovery shows up and the same issue remains.
so now im stuck not being able to change roms.
Every developer in the Rezound forums says to use Amon Ra and stay away from clockworkmod. You will not be lost using it. Look for it in a sticky in development section. Next time do your homework first.

I uninstalled clockworkmod and removed the folder on the sd card and flashed amonra in fastboot. but when you go to recovery in hboot it still comes up clockwordmod.
what else do i have to do to get clockwork off and amonra to work?

It should overwrite clockwork. You are unlocked right? Try the cleanflash tool from scrosler. Has worked for me everytime. Make sure you do not have any ph.img on you external sd then boot to hboot and use the tool. The Amon Ra link is in the second post. Directions are simple, and make sure the recovery .img is in the same folder as the tool. At least you posted in the right section.

More info? Carrier, ROM you were on before, what did you do before install? Is the file a complete download, no damage, etc? Did you let your device boot properly for a first start up, not much I can say if you just say it aborted? Did you try reading the bible thread? Search button is quite useful as well.

T-Mobile. Bulletless V2.5. I renamed the rom .zip file to "PH85IMG.zip". I'm pretty sure that the file is a complete download, as I downloaded it a second time. I guess. I did read that thread. I used that search button for a while and I'm still stuck on this. Please help out. Thanks

I'll be honest, I don't really believe you, since if you did you'd see even in the past few threads below this one you'd see you need to be on ICS to use an ICS rom.
Here's what you'll need to do and maybe a few things NOT to do, you'll have to do your own leg work though.
1. Update your device to the latest ICS via hboot using a stock ICS ruu file which can be found in the dev section
2. Re-Unlock your device, reinstall a custom recovery and/or root if you want to, all these can be done using Hasoon's tool, found in the dev section as well.
2. Follow the basic instructions of the rom dev of whichever rom you choose to install
Don'ts
You don't need to rename rom files, do read what the dev is specifying you have to rename, if there is anything to be renamed.

Yes, get it from the stock RUU/OTA thread in the dev section, rename it PH85IMG and flash via hboot.

hboot problems

Ok to start off i unlocked,rooted,flashed cwm with hansoons tool kit everything went perfect! Was having problems flashing roms because i am s -on. I had a nandroid tho so i just restored it and everything worked fine again. Last night i flashed a rom and after flashing was sent to hboot. Now my phone is stuck either on a black screen. At first i couldnt get in recovery thru hboot but after i removed my ext sd it would let me choose to enter recovery. So i went to restore my nandroid and md5 mismatched.. Im at a loss.. I tried to get help somewhere else but havent got a reply and i need my phone for work tomorrow! If anyone can help id appreciate. Im not a noob just kinda a noob to htc and this s-on/s-off stuff.
First I would install Amon Ra recovery, then I would just flash a new ROM that does the boot.img thing by itself like Clean ROM.

What ROM did you try flashing?
If you have a computer nearby. You have CWM still installed? Make a new md5 file of the nandroid
or
reflash a rom that you do have on your phone
or
flash a kernel and hope it boots like joels
or
if all else fails. I would say download latest RUU and flash it in HBOOT. That is the last thing you would want to do.

Download the RUU to your computer. With fastboot make sure it is recognizing your phone. Now here are the commands. fastboot oem rebootRUU a black screen will appear with an HTC in the middle. Next command will be fastboot flash zip rezound_AndroidPolice_4.03.605.2_PH98IMG.zip

That would work. But cleanrom is so outdated. Use Nils Sense 3.6 if your on the global firmware. But out of curiosity what ROM do you currently have installed? If it is a Sense rom. Install one of the kernels found. Maybe Bamf since his is setup for easy s-on guys.

[Q] Rezound Stuck At Lock Screen

Hi,
I am new here and this is my first post so forgive me if starting a new thread for this topic was wrong but I found my own situation slightly different from the others here who had the same problem.
I have a gsm unlocked rezound and was trying to get rid of the unknown sim error message at lock screen. I followed the steps mentioned on this thread --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1882355. I rooted the phone, downloaded the apk. Deleted the .odex file and replaced the existing apk with the downloaded one and rebooted. Now, I am stuck at the lock screen with no icons. But for the other people who faced similiar issue, they were able to open the home screen. I can't. I can see pop ups for sms/mail. I get ring when a call comes in but I cant pick. I tried hard reset. Tried booting without sim/sd card. Still no luck. I tried connecting the phone to my pc but now my pc wont recognise the phone when its connected. I can see icon on top of the phone which says USB connected and I also see sync icon, but it will not go any further. I dont know how to get into the phone's menu now.
I may have bitten more than I can chew, silly me :crying:
If you guys can help me in any way, I would appreciate that a lot.
OS : 4.0.3 ICS Running HTC Sense 3.6.
A quick fix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2017932
Flash my debloater, choosing the Sense option(will be brought to a widget removal screen if you don' use them all) & AOSP lockscreen. Disadvantage to that though, you will have to unlock to see the caller id when it rings.

Thank you for the quick response. I have downloaded the file. I know this sounds stupid but I am a real rookie. I don't know how to do the flashing or how to get to the AOSP lock screen. If you could guide me through the process or maybe give me a link where I can learn it myself, it would be great.
Essentially since you already have rooted, you will(should) also have a custom recovery (TWRP, AmonRa, CWM). Install it as you would a regular rom but without any wipes until after flash of the zip. Dependent on which recovery you will want to look up their FAQ/QnA on how to wipe dalvik/cache.
Once you get inside the script, you will see what I meant by "Choose Sense & AOSP Lockscreen".

Yes the phone was rooted, but I used a rooting software from google apps from the phone. After I downloaded that app, it rooted the phone and brought in an extra icon. I remember it as SU root something, but I didnt do it from the pc. So I dont have any recovery on the pc. I used to sync the phone with htc sync. Unfortunately, right now, my pc wont recognise the phone. I tried root explorer for android from pc, it wont recognise the device. HTC sync too will not. But my phone seems to know when a USB is connected, it brings the usb icon on top but thats about it. ((
Ok, best suggestion at this point is to follow the instruction in the OP for installing TWRP in the Rezound development section.

Could you kindly provide me a link to the right topic. Do you think my phone is beyond repair ? Have I bricked it ?
I am running 4.0.3 ICS on Sense 3.6

You are far FAR from being bricked. Softbricked yes, hardbricked no.

Thank you for the help buddy. I am glad you said its not. I dont know what I would have done if it had. This is my first android phone and I took it a week back. I was beginning to miss my iPhone . Unfortunately the link you provided wont help me because I have no way of restarting phone other than by removing battery. Even when in fastboot, the pc does not recognise the device even when device shows fastboot usb. I doubt if I can get past step 1 in that link.
I found that I am on Vigor H Boot 2.27.000 and Radio 2.22.10.0803r with S-ON. I tried to turn S-Off after reading and educating myself on android from this forum till now. But even to S-Off, I need to be able to enable USB in debug mode which I am not able to. Any suggestions ?
Device still not fixed
hi,
I took the phone to a couple of places to check if it can be fixed, No one was able to fix it thus far, Any other advice or suggestions to fix this would be great. Any admins/mods have something to add ? Please, I am desperate to fix this phone. Anyway of doing this ?
Have you tried flashing a different rom?
If he's S-on and locked, he can simply flash the latest RUU can't he(just to get the phone working again). From there someone can help him set up adb, and s-off.

From what they posted, somehow they don't have a custom recovery even though they are rooted?
Can you put a PH98IMG.zip file of a recovery (either Amon Ra or TWRP) on your SD card and flash it in hboot? Then flash a custom ROM the same way from recovery.
You can take the SD card out and mount it on your pc and use your pc to copy over the recovery PH98IMG.zip file.
And oh yeah, I see what Obaterista... was saying. You should be able to flash the latest RUU from hboot. Here's a link for it:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ull-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/
That's global too, which seems to be what you'll need.

Yes I have vigor, tried AmonRa, that did not work mate. It starts fastboot, gets stuck @ unpacking PH98IMG.diag and then nothing happens.

The bootloader screen says S-On. On top it says ***Tampered*** and below it ***UNLOCKED***.

Yes I rooted from a tool I found on android market. Noob me. So I do not have a recovery. I had downloaded the PH98IMG.zip and put it in my sd card and tried. The recovery starts and then shows a red exclamation and then nothing happens.
I was just trying different pages for help. Someone has mentioned that I should add the PH98IMG.zip as just PH98IMG and I shud not add the .zip. Thats the only thing left to try. I will post what happens when I do that.

What you'll have to do is relock your boot loader, flash the RUU and then unlock again. From there you should be able to flash a recovery and flash a rom.

Are you trying with the stock ROM ? If ure saving stock ROM as PH98IMG.zip, then try PH98IMG without the .zip typed in.
