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
1.0\data>
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?

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.

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...
Alright, so I've got an S-On rooted Rezound and I'm stuck in the boot loop. YES I've read all the posts about logging in and dialing *#etc and also to go into Mobile Network and switch to LTE/CDMA, but I can't dial anything because the phone cuts off before I get a chance, and the LTE switch does nothing. I've tried flashing several different kernels, using the adb method and the PH98IMG methods, I've tried installing several different ROMS, I've done at least 10 different wipes/factory resets, I boot my phone without the cover, SIM card and without the SD card..and I'm still stuck in this boot loop. Someone please help a noob
---- EDIT WITH SOLUTION ----
Here's my "solution" to this issue. I'm sure it's located somewhere in these forums, but I couldn't find it so I imagine others can't either. Essentially, you're going to have to S-Off. Here's the solution:
I believe my recovery started acting funny after I failed to S-Off properly the first time. Amon Ra was all gimmicky and said stuff like "E: can't find cache" and reinstalling the recovery/wiping everything (and I mean everything: external SD, internal SD, cache, partioning SD card etc..) wasn't working. I tried re-installing Amon Ra through command prompt with the adb, I tried reinstalling my ROMS but my phone wasn't having it.
It got to the point all I could boot into was a white HTC screen, so I then tried out Twrp's 2.1 Touchscreen (I wasn't S-Off yet) recovery (I don't have enough posts to post a link yet ) which INITIALLY reported the same "E: can't find cache" errors as Amon Ra, BUT when I wiped my files in Twrp it seemed to actually fix them...I'm not sure exactly what I wiped or formatted that fixed the "E: can't find mount/cache" issues, so try everything.
So my ROM installed but I was still stuck on the white HTC logo. This is where I INSTALLED A NEW KERNEL THROUGH ADB. I wish I knew which kernel I installed, but I have like 10 and I just picked a random one. The point is if you're still stuck at a white HTC screen, install a new kernel.
So I got a recovery on the phone, and then I tried to S-Off again but I didn't have a good ROM installation so that was hanging at the HTC white screen. I then installed CleanROM DE 1.4 and I was able to boot into it, but ran into my initial problem of it crashing after dialing a number and entering infinite reboot. However, it would stay on just long enough for me to run ControlBear's program to S-Off.
So I S-Offed, I downloaded the Gingerbread RUU (the .exe version for Windows), I installed it, and now I can dial numbers and I'm all goodie again. Unfortunately, I honestly think the only way I was escaping my trouble was doing an S-Off, unless they leak a Ice Cream Sanwhich executable for Windows.
TL;DR Install Twerp 2.1 through adb, wipe everything, install CleanROM DE 1.4, install kernel S-Off, run Gingerbread RUU .exe

Have you tried running a RUU to put it back to factory like you just bought it?
I can't tell you how many times I've had to do that to fix stuff.

People say a lot of things are impossible, most have the virtue of never being tried.
This is the one I used to fix mine when I screwed up the partitions on my phone. I will warn you, the link in the thread takes you to another site & you have to sign up to download it. Its completely free & legit, but it won't let you download unless you register which is STUPID!

Oh & BTW I was & still am on the ICS leaks when I did this, so you'll be fine. You will lose everything on your phone though, because it wipes everything. But if you can't use it, that's not really an issue I guess.

The PH98IMG file. And I believe I'm flashing the properly..I do it twice; flashboot in adb, it tells me success, I then flash again right there, and then I reboot back to the bootloader and flash again so I do it 3 times in total.
I'm downloading the Vigor executable now. It's going to take a while but I'll report back with my results.

PH98IMG is not going to help you in this situation. You are going to have to download & run the RUU that I linked in the previous post. Trust me on this, not only have I already tried that before, I've blown my phone up enough times to know.

Ok, I went to use the RUU and at first I got error 150, so I read somewhere I should lock my bootloader, so I relocked and now I get error 140, whcih is bootloader verision error. I think that's because I'm on ICS with S-On right? Is there any ICS RUU I can use to restore my phone? I downloaded Vigor_Stock_Doedexed_3.14.605.5 before but it still wasn't working for me.

And as far as this goes yeah you can't use the .exe if your on ICS firmware with s-on and there are no available .exe's for ICS

Unless you are already on the gingerbread build, and it sounds like your not, if you are s-on, it simply will not work. My suggestion is to download the latest leak and that should get you going. If it were me, and I aleady did it, download the latest leak here: http://android.thesmallprint.org/ICS.LEAK.3.14.605.5_PH98IMG.zip. Rename it PH98IMG.zip and put it on your external sd card. Should take less than 10 mins to download. Reboot into bootloader and let hboot install it. Make sure you are locked or relocked. After that is installed either delete or change the name of that file. Reboot into bootloader, unlock, and install either amon ra or tpwr and you can reinstall that rooted rom.
what he said
mikey's comments just previous are totally right, but after install, i would recommend
a factory reset, maybe even twice.
your bootloop problem should be cured then...
I was on the latest ICS firmware running an ICS ROM when I had to run the RUU I gave the link for & it worked fine for me.
Here's my suggestion & you can take it for what its worth.
I would download the latest HBoot & Radios & flash them.
Then if you can get into recovery, wipe everything, manually wipe the system, boot, etc. Then after that try running the RUU.
I just did this earlier in the week & it worked fine & my phone was all screwed up because the partitions were mounting to the wrong places & just all messed up.
I am by no means a dev or an expert, I'm just telling you what I did.
WHATEVER YOU CHOSE, YOU DO AT YOUR OWN RISK, but I don't see where you really have a choice.
Let me know if I can be of anymore help as I know what its like to have a phone that's freaking out on you. You can PM me or post here which ever you prefer. If after that we still can't get it fixed, we'll go find a dev to help us.

Reboot into bootloader and let hboot install it. Make sure you are locked or relocked. After that is installed either delete or change the name of that file. Reboot into bootloader, unlock, and install either amon ra or tpwr and you can reinstall that rooted rom.

Well now my recovery is saying it can't mount various things like "E: can't mount b dev/block/ blah blah"
And I tried flashing my ROM through Amon recovery but it's saying it can't open the file because it's (bad). I formatted the SD card and I'm still getting the issue. Any ideas?
Did you download the one from the link? You don't flash that PH98IMG.zip in recovery, you boot up into bootloader and let hboot find it. If when you get to your bootloader and it is fastboot, use your volume key and select on bootloader option. Then hboot will find it and ask you if you want to install it. Install it. After that, you will then need to reinstall either amon ra or the other but stay away from clockworkmod. But to reinstall the recovery, you will have to unlock again.

I did install in hboot. I then installed Amon so I could flash the ROM and that's what's giving me all those errors.
If all you are after is stock and rooted, try looking at this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1642217
Since you ran the PH98IMG that I directed you to, you are now on ICS. So follow the directions in that thread for "S-On and ICS".
Installation for S-ON Devices on ICS firmware
•Copy ROM to SD Card AND PH98IMG.zip to ROOT of SD Card
•Reboot to recovery
•wipe data / Factory Reset
•Flash ROM
•Use Developer Menu to reboot to bootloader and flash the boot.img file in the PH98IMG.zip
•Reboot
•Profit!
Edit: The only change I would recommend is to hold off putting that PH98IMG file from that thread on the sd card right away. You will have a hard time getting to recovery if you have that on the card. I would suggest following all the instructions up to and including "Flash ROM". Then I would "return" back to the main Amon Ra screen, make sure you have the data cable connecting your phone to the computer, select "USB-MS Toggle", then select the SD Card, and that will allow you to copy the PH98IMG file to the SD card. Then continue with the rest of the directions. If you do this right, you should be ok.

It's the actual recover I believe to be giving me the errors, but I'll try what you said in about 2 days (I need to study for finals). It might be because I tried to S-Off and I installed all of that guys software and it might be making the phone act funny. I'll be much more descriptive about my errors when I post back in 2 days.
I fixed it!!
Ok, so I finally got it working, I'll try to detail my steps for anyone else who ran into similar issues:
I believe my recovery started acting funny after I failed to S-Off properly the first time. Amon Ra was all gimmicky and said stuff like "E: can't find cache" and reinstalling the recovery/wiping everything (and I mean everything: external SD, internal SD, cache, partioning SD card etc..) wasn't working. I tried re-installing Amon Ra through command prompt with the adb, I tried reinstalling my ROMS but my phone wasn't having it.
It got to the point all I could boot into was a white HTC screen, so I then tried out Twrp's 2.1 Touchscreen (I wasn't S-Off yet) recovery (I don't have enough posts to post a link yet ) which INITIALLY reported the same "E: can't find cache" errors as Amon Ra, BUT when I wiped my files in Twrp it seemed to actually fix them...I'm not sure exactly what I wiped or formatted that fixed the "E: can't find mount/cache" issues, so try everything.
So my ROM installed but I was still stuck on the white HTC logo. This is where I INSTALLED A NEW KERNEL THROUGH ADB. I wish I knew which kernel I installed, but I have like 10 and I just picked a random one. The point is if you're still stuck at a white HTC screen, install a new kernel.
So I got a recovery on the phone, and then I tried to S-Off again but I didn't have a good ROM installation so that was hanging at the HTC white screen. I then installed CleanROM DE 1.4 and I was able to boot into it, but ran into my initial problem of it crashing after dialing a number and entering infinite reboot. However, it would stay on just long enough for me to run ControlBear's program to S-Off.
So I S-Offed, I downloaded the Gingerbread RUU (the .exe version for Windows), I installed it, and now I can dial numbers and I'm all goodie again. Unfortunately, I honestly think the only way I was escaping my trouble was doing an S-Off, unless they leak a Ice Cream Sanwhich executable for Windows.
TL;DR Install Twerp 2.1 through adb, wipe everything, install CleanROM DE 1.4, install kernel S-Off, run Gingerbread RUU .exe
Hi everyone, so this is my first post here so please deal with me. I did check for similar problems with no results and think I'm posting in the right area. So try not to get too frustrated with me if I'm wrong. Anyway, with all of that out of the way on to my problem.
I have a rooted rezound, which was first rooted to get rid of bloatware and such, but I decided I wanted to try out some different roms. My problem is every time I flash a rom, which appears successful, but whenever it boots up it'll freeze up on the HTC screen. To fix this I've been just been pulling the battery and restoring to the backup I made before trying to flash roms. I would really like to try some different roms but I've gotten stuck on that screen with each one I've tried. If anyone could help me I'd greatly appreciate it!
Some additional info: I use to have a rooted thunderbolt and have some experience with flashing roms and all that stuff, but I'd still consider myself a noob. I have Amon Ra Recovery on my rezound and the screen in hboot reads:
***Unlocked***
vigor put ship s-on rl

Oct 6 2011, 15:43:22
(I'm not sure why it says the incorrect date and time?)
I've tried several different things to successfully flash roms. I've tried flashing them with and without PH98IMG.zip on the root of my sd. I've tired it with and without the back on my phone. When flashing roms I ALWAYS wiped all data before flashing. That's just about everything relevant I can think of, sorry for the length! I figured the more information the easier for you guys to help!
If you're S-ON, you need to flash the P98IMG zip with the ROM. This contains the boot.img file.
Just extract the ROM of choice, take the P98IMG zip, throw it on your SD card and boot into your bootloader. Go into the bootloader menu and it'll install. Reboot, phone will work just fine.
If there isn't a P98IMG file and just a boot.img file, just push it through ADB while in your fastboot.
command is fastboot flash boot boot.img
So the P98IMG.zip file I downloaded and had on the root of my sd card is different than the one I need to extract from the rom or was I just not installing it right?
I did have a P98IMG.zip on the root of my sd card and I went into hboot, then I went to recovery and flashed my rom. Is there another step I need to take in installing the P98IMG.zip or should it automatically install? Do I need to reboot it between installing the P98IMG.zip and the rom?
Thanks for you help and quick response! I'm really trying to learn and get better at this stuff
After you flash your ROM, go into your bootloader (fully, must be in the bootloader menu) and it'll install. Follow the onscreen instructions, reboot, and remove the zip from your SD card.
Hope that helps.
I still cant get it to work :/
Heres step by step what I did:
1) Went into hboot > recovery
2) Wiped all data
3) Flashed ROM
4) Powered off phone using option in the recovery menu
5) Powered back on into hboot. The green text appeared that said loading and stuff about P98IMG and a blue bar on the side, but this process was very brief (maybe 2 seconds tops) and there were no instructions to follow
6) Went into recovery and rebooted my phone where I was stuck on the the HTC screen again
Can you point out where I'm going wrong or any possible issue?
Thanks again for you patience! I really appreciate your help!

How are you getting to recovery? It should give you an option to install update or reboot in hboot. If the ph98img is in the right spot you shouldn't be able to boot into recovery
With my phone powered off I'm holding down the power button and down volume button to get to hboot. I have my ROM and the PH98IMG.zip file both on the root of my SD card. It does very quickly appear to load the PH98IMG file but returns to the hboot screen the has the options: fastboot, recovery, factory reset, clear storage, sim lock, image crc.
Could it be that the PH98IMG file should be somewhere else? And was I doing everything in the correct order or do I install the PH98IMG first?
File may be bad. Do you have adb set up?

Well actually I'm running off a mac and I've been using my sisters laptop for adb and that stuff but she just broke it...just my luck haha. Would I be able to download a different copy of PH98IMG from online and try that?
What ph file are you trying to flash? It should load it and ask if you want to update. Try downloading it again. May be a bad download
I'm trying to flash the Senseless-4.0.3-ICS-v1.0.0[2/4/2012] ROM (http://themikmik.com/showthread.php?11238-Senseless-4-0-3-ICS-v1-0-0-2-4-2012&p=178493#post178493) and I just saw a download for the PH98IMG file somewhere else on the website. Should the ROM include its own PH98IMG file? Thanks for both of your help! I have no experience with the PH files because my thunderbolt was s-off so i never dealt with this stuff before.

So s-off. Seriously though. You flashed a random ph file and thought it would work? It has to be the right one for the rom. Besides that rom isn't maintained anymore
The only method to get the rezound to s-off was using some wire trick and seemed like a difficult process. Would you recommend I do that?
And the post with the ROM said and ICS PH file would be fine, so I assumed it'd work. I guess I'll try a different ROM that includes a specific PH file and up to date. In which case I should be able to get everything to work with all the help from you and Chyrux. Thanks for everything!

I would recommend getting s-off. It's going to be the only method for this phone. I mean why waste another exploit to be patched? I would recommend con rom since it uses aroma to detect whether your s-on or s-off
Did you s-off your rezound? How were your experiences with it? I'm just worried about bricking my phone. But thanks for the ROM recommendation! I've been trying to find a good ROM
S-off was fairly easy, but you do need Windows or a Linux build.
I am an unfortunate rookie, and have made mistakes, hence the name. I want to return my phone to stock from htcdev unlock, s-on, hboot 1.5. with a boot loop on meanom ICS for the evo 3d. I have tried to use older ruu shooters. Relock with fastbot oem lock, and then pg86img. However with the bootloop I can not access anything unless I unlock again, and then go into recovery. This is all that I can think of at the moment that might help.
Kill the rookie!!! PLEASE HELP!!
I had much the same problem with my cdma, hboot 1.5, S-On shooter. When I was S-On none of the ICS roms would work. The all bootlooped on me. If you follow the rooting method found here on xda, it will get you back to a stock Rooted GB Rom.
go into hboot -> fastboot USB-> run command dos -> fastboot cwm-4.0.1.4-shooter.IMG -> flash the 2.17 firmware-> enjoy.
I had to S-off with Juopunutbear, then re-run that root/flash to get past the bootloops.

My only suggestion would be to try it a few times, other then that, its above my head.

Have you tried one of the ruu exe files that you run from your computer? If you are trying to go stock, you should be able to relock the bootloader and run the ruu and that's it.
Sent from my ICS 3VO with Tapatalk 2
First of all I want to thank everyone that has been attempting to assist me with my problem. I have tried to relock since I am on htcdev unlock and then run an ruu force via my computer. I get an installation aborted error when trying to flash pg86img via recovery. I don't know what else to say.
You can't flash a bootloader zip from recovery. You have to flash it from hboot. Also make sure the zip is named correctly "PG86IMG.zip" without the quotes. Also make sure the zip is on the root of your sd as in not in any folders. Once you've named the zip correctly and placed it correctly then power off the phone. Hold down the volume down button and tap the power button. You should boot into the bootloader wait until the phone recognizes the zip and follow the on screen instructions. Hopefully this helps.

Thank you again. I tried your directions, it did recognize the pg86img. However it did not give me any instructions to follow. It did however allow me to be able to a partial stock state. My software version is still on the teamgenesis sense v2.9 cdma. Although I do like some of the features on this rom, I would still like to be able to get the OTA of ICS when it is released. Any suggestions?

To get the ota release (if it ever comes ) I do believe you will need to be locked and running the existing gingerbread rom. While I am not positive, I think the system uses the props file to determine if an update is applicable, and it will likely not recognize the teamgenesis rom version as being upgradeable.
Now I will likely get flames for saying this, but if you want to put the meanrom v2.4 of ICS on the phone, it can be done with s-on, you just need to follow the correct process. I ran that rom for a while, and it is very stock like, stable, and has a few enhancements that you will not find on a non-rooted stock rom. I never found anything wrong or not working with that rom.
To get it to load, first I downloaded flashimagegui from market, put the meanrom zip file on the sd card and made sure I had a recovery that I could get into. I am using TWRP v2.1.1, lots of folks talk about others like ext4, and I am only going to say use whichever you like, after all it is your phone.
Then with the phone unlocked via the htc method, I started the flashimage app, and browsed to the meanrom file. It extracted the kernel and flashed it. Once that was done, with clear cache buttons selected, rebooted to recovery, and used the install menu selection of TWRP to again flash the same rom file. Once it flashed the file, selected clear cache and dalvik just to be safe, selected reboot system, and it worked great.
Have a great weekend.
So, apparently I am still doing something wrong. I have put the pg86img on the root, relocked to the bootloader, and let it run it's course. However, it will get through with reading it and stops and does not finish anything with loading the system information. I have also tried to run the ruu via usb connection. I keep running into a c++ issue saying runtime error. I have wiped everything and thankfully I did make a backup of the rom and other information that I was runing so I can currently fall back on that.
I am on hboot 1.5, 2.17, and teamgenesis ICS rom for evo 3d.
Apparently there have been rumors that Sprint has finally released the ICS OTA, not that it really matters anymore, but I have run into a few interesting glitches, such as WIFI not staying connected while asleep or disconnecting.
If I have to I am willing to pay to do a netmeeing with someone in order to be able to fix this.
Sorry if it sounds like I am getting frustrated, but I have tried every walkthrough that I have found and have not had any luck with any of them.
Please help.
I forgot to say I am s-on
My rezound has the stock ROM that came with the phone. It was locked and rooted. While it was rooted, I defrosted all the apps in Titanium so it was stock. I then relocked the phone. I am also S-On. I started the 299mb update and it appeared to load but nothing happens, I tried a factory reset but it won't reset. Amon Ra is no longer on the phone but apparently Titanium is still working so I must still be rooted. Is that what is keeping me from loading the new ICS? If so, how do I unrooted the phone. I don't see a way to uninstall Superuser. I have tried the factory reset in both the settings/storage and the one in hboot and neither will reset the phone.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
use the stock ice ota ruu zip file from android police.

Thanks, I have tried the stock GB RUU 2.01.605.11 to get back to stock but it gives me an error message about the bootloader in the end and does downgrade the current 2.01.605.12 I have.
I am still rooted so is that a problem--do I need to unroot first?
I'll download your suggested ICS OTA. Why is this OTA twice as large as the OTA coming over the phone? It also states that the phone needs to be locked and fully stock. Again, I am locked but can't get back to fully stock.
being rooted should not be a problem.
I was rooted and bootloader locked and it went well.
You will lose root.
The ruu is larger because it contains everything. The OTA is smaller because it only contains files which have changed.
good luck,
Howard
p.s. I have read advise that it is best to install the ruu twice, then let it boot up normally the first time before installing customized things like hboot, recovery, kernel, or ROM.

Sadly, I downloaded the 4.03.605.2 file, renamed it PH98IMG.zip put it on the external SD card root folder, powered down, did a power + vol down, and the phone went to bootloader but did not see the file. Had done the same thing with a GB stock recovery file and it didn't recognize it either. Phone is relocked. Very frustrating.

Sometimes people accidentally rename it PH98IMG.ZIP.ZIP because windows, by default, hides the file extension name.
Also make sure the file is located on the top directory on sdcard2. You can download the free ES File explorer to look at the file on the phone.
If you can't manage to rename the file properly and place it in the right location, then it simply will not install.

Howard, your brilliant. The file did have the double "zip". So, I loaded it on to the external sd card, checked it in Root Explorer to see that it was on the top directory and labeled correctly. Went into Boodloader and it recognized it and went through the process. After the first flash, I flashed it again as suggested and then did a factory reset before booting the first time. Then I rebooted and nothing had happened--no ICS and no factory reset!!!!
The RUU did not work, the factory reset does not work (either from the bootloader or the settings menu) so I'm still relocked, rooted, and using 2.01.605.12. Before I tried the ICS updated, I tried to downgrade to 2.01.605.11 but again, it flashed in bootloader but did nothing.
I'm about ready to give up on updating to ICS sadly.
That is very strange.
An RUU should reinstall everything.
Maybe you have no recovery?
You mentioned in your first post that you have no recovery?
Maybe the RUU uses recovery for some functions like factory reset and other things?
Maybe later well connect on yahoo messenger and try to get the stock recovery installed on your phone. I am not sure it will solve thus, but it is something to try.
Right now I am not home to help you.
On second thought, I really do not understand why an RUU will not replace all software and firmware on your phone. It should replace your hboot, recovery, kernel, system, radios, etc..
I have a little anxiety trying to replace portions of your system with that in the RUU.
You currently have a working phone, and I'd rather not risk turning it into a non working phone.
Perhaps others here have some ideas as to why the ICS RUU failed to work for you, yet gave you no error messages.
Regards,
Howard

I'm currently installing the ICS OTA just to see what happens but I doubt if it will take. If that fails, I'll reinstall AmonRa 3.15 and see if that does anything. Again, thanks for all your input.

I think I would have to unlock again in order to install AmonRa 3.15, if that's what you mean by recovery.

Howard, I think I solved it. It was the mainver--it was older. I unlocked again and then installed a generic mainver that works with any install. Now I have everything back to stock GB, wiped, and relocked. I think I'm going to start with with the official ICS OTA and see where that goes.
Thanks for all your help.
