Ok, so impatience got the best of me. I bought the Rezound earlier this week when I heard ICS was coming on 4/6. I was sick of my droid x2 so it was a win win for me, I love HTC.
When I found out there was no update in the near future I decided to give the leaked ROM a try. I am NOT rooted, my bootloader is locked.
I flashed the update and now I have no signal on my device.
Frantically i tried to flash back to the current stock to no avail. I tried the RUU but of course it failed due to the difference in hboot versions.
WTF do I do now???
Having an awesome phone you cant use sucks. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would like to avoid rooting if possible...

Which leak did you flash? Pre-rooted or stock? Also, this might sound like a dumb question, but is your battery door off? You won't be able to get any signal of any kind with the battery door off.
Stock. Battery door is on and still all i get is the little x over the bars. tried in cdma only mode. tried with the sim out, etc
maybe re-flashing the leaked ruu?

Did you run the RUU twice? It might not have finished updating. It needs to flash in hboot, then reboot and you'll flash it again. Try it over and make sure you do it twice if you didn't. That should fix it.

The old RUU or the ICS? The old one failed due to hboot mismatch. The ICS update I flashed from a PH98IMG. And yes, did it twice.

The leak. You won't be able to flash any old ruu. I would relock your bootloader, then flash the leaked ics ruu twice again.
EDIT: Just make sure you follow the instructions HERE that Scott has provided.
Double check your md5. May have gotten a bad download.

sounds like he didnt run the ruu twice... please run it twice again and let us know
I know this might sound dumb but, awhile ago I was having a similar problem. I went frantic like you. Turns out I must have accidentally bumped the mobile data button in the quick settings pull down bar. Just wondering if you might have data turned it off and didn't think about checking it cause you are figuring it's a problem with the leak.

So, I have tried very very hard to fix this, but now I'm out of ideas completely.
My problem is that I have no clue how to get from the ICS RUU leak to the most recent software update from HTC. There probably is a way to do it, but that isn't the only problem. I have no cable to do it with and my phone constantly restarts due to jacked software installation. So please, anybody who can assist me I would forever love you and such.
Thanks anybody
Also don't hate me if this belongs in Q&A, I wasn't sure.

So uh, not to be a smartass, but how do you charge your phone without a cable?
all you should have to do is go into hboot and flash the latest RUU. If you get the mainver error use one the many tools/tutorials on here.

I worded that bad. I have a cable, but it doesn't have the ability to transfer data between my phone and any computer. (I don't have the original cable, it was replaced by a mini-usb)
EDIT: I also can transfer data from my SD card to my computer, just not directly through the phone.

You can't go back to the latest GB RUU from the leaked ICS RUU. This is because the new RUU has a higher HBOOT version than the old, and even though you can reduce your mainver, you can't go back to an older HBOOT. You do have some options though:
1) Try to fix the issues you are having by reflashing the leaked RUU.
2) Wait for the ICS OTA, and you should be able to upgrade to that
3) Beta testing for Juopunutbear S-Off is now over, and it has been proven successful. Once this method is released, you can do it to your phone, and once you have S-Off, you should be able to run downgrade your HBOOT and run any RUU (newer or older) that you want.

I needed help, not your smart ass comments
I just bought a Rezound and it is continuously freezing and rebooting within 5 minutes of booting. It usually occurs when unlocking the screen. This occurred on the latest gingerbread release even after 2 factory resets and after upgrading with the leaked ICS ruu. I already did the boot loop fix by making sure WCDMA was not set for the network type. It even freezes with the back cover off and the sim card removed. Does anyone have any idea what it could be?
Call 611 and have it replaced. It's borked.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA
Was phone full stock and not tapered? If so then yes defective.
Are you rooted? if so did you run the ics ruu and then go back to gingerbread?
because that would be your issues right there
The phone is 100% stock, it has never been rooted. All I did was upgrade with the leaked ICS ruu. My question is if I call into Verizon will they care that I upgraded with the leaked ruu and if so can I downgrade back to gb I know if I use the gb ruu it will say unable to downgrade to older version.

no, it doesnt need to be on for long
but you need to HTCDev unlock and root it
ive run the Controlbear program when the boot animation starts and before it could even finish it rebooted it to hboot
The HTCdev unlock only requires the bootloader which I can run all day without the phone freezing. If controlbear doesnt require much time with the phone on I will give it a shot and hope for the best.

I was thinking that and I am definitely gonna try it cuz I have nothing to lose.
the s off method only puts the phone into bootloader and recovery. You could probably start in fastboot and it should be able to read it.
I would probably try and get it replaced from verizon. My guess is the memory is faulty. Only explanation if you had the problem on GB and on the ICS RUU since the RUU replaces everything from radios, to rom to kernel.
You did run the ICS RUU twice? That is required to fully flash it.
Yes I did do it twice and the same problems occurred I will run the s off from fastboot and get back to stock and give Verizon a call
Hi everyone,
I'm really hoping someone can help me with getting my E3D S-off with the wire trick. Even though I've been a member on this site for a couple years, I never really did much on here because I haven't done much with my phone until now. So, I'm hoping that being a newbie, someone can help me...
Long story short, I've been waiting patiently until the official ICS update from Sprint to be able to root my phone and finally install a custom ROM without all the Sprint bloatware and finally have a clean, stock ICS ROM on my phone. For the past two days I've been trying to do the wire trick by following this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1813818
It's just that my phone will NOT let me do it! I've successfully unlocked the bootloader on hboot 1.58 and rooted the phone with superuser. When I go to do the wire trick, after running JuopunutBear's Wire Trick, all I get is to the point where it says "Seconday Backup FAILED at Beginning!!" and just exits the program.
I've literally done everything. I read that it's caused by a custom ROM or having HTC Sync installed on my PC. The ROM I have is the stock Sprint ICS 4.0 ROM that was installed by the RUU. I've wiped my SD card and even used two other cards, and it STILL won't work. I have no idea what to do anymore. After two days of having a blank phone, I've just about given up. I know there's gotta be a way to do it, but I just can't figure it out. I can't find anything regarding this problem from anyone else on this site or anywhere on Google. People say they had the problem and it fixed itself, but I can't get past it. Can someone please help? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You should try flashing a stock GINGERBREAD ROM. The thing with JuopunutBear is that you need crucial files from GB. Unless they updated it, I may be wrong.
Instead of flashing an RUU, look for a full stock ROM for your phone.
Then it should work perfectly.
I did it on my GSM EVO 3D, but there was a better guide on here for it, however, it's gone now.
I wish you luck, comment back if it doesn't work.
I actually restored the original RUU which didn't work, and then flashed the PG86IMG.zip file for the ICS ROM and that didn't work either. I've gone through all the steps of unlocking and rooting multiple times, and it still gives me that backup message. I have no idea what else to do.
Also, the phone is new - Sprint replaced it under warranty for me because the bezel of my old one was coming loose which they said is a common problem, so they swapped it out with a fresh one for me. The only thing I can think of is maybe that daemon message I get when I start the fastboot? It says something like "Daemon not started. Starting on port 5037." Does the port have anything to do with it?
I'm gonna try flashing a stock Gingerbread ROM now. I'm downloading the 2.17.651.5 release - I think that's the official Gingerbread update from Sprint. I'll post back soon - thanks for your help.

Make sure you watch the screen on the phone until the prompts for superuser have appeared and been approved. Also, have you read through the JuopunutBear thread in the stickies of the development forum? There's a lot of information in there and a link to a good video by zedomax, and if that isn't enough to get you through it you can get some live help by logging into the IRC channel from the support page on the unlimited.io website.

I appreciate the help so far. I tried returning to a stock Gingerbread ROM to do the S-off trick since they thought maybe it had something to do with files from Gingerbread that weren't in the ICS ROM, but the phone won't let me do it. Running the official RUU fails and says it can't update the software, and trying to flash the PG86IMG.zip from the bootloader just ignores it - I boot the phone, it spends five minutes loading and checking, then just goes back to the menu. I read you can't flash an older firmware update over a newer one unless you have S-off, but since that's what I'm trying to get at, that obviously won't work.
So, I gave up and flashed the official RUU for ICS and it flashed fine and put me back at the stock Sprint software. Unlocked bootloader, rooted and tried the S-off again, and got the same problem. I'm giving up on it for the night but I'll research the stickies tomorrow at work and see what I can find and if anyone else might have had this problem. I don't feel like accepting the fact that there's no way to get S-off on this phone. Seems everyone else had no problems.
Thanks again for all your help so far!

JuopunutBear will work fine with the Sprint ICS 2.89 build installed, but make sure you use the version designed for that build.
Good luck!

Okay cool, just let me know. Thanks.
So I figured I would update on this but I'm sure no one really cares.
I FINALLY got S-off using the wire trick by installing a quick custom ROM and trying the process again. For some reason the guide I used said to use the stock untouched ROM but it didn't work for me, even though everyone else seems to have had luck.
So, after flashing a ROM quick through ext4 worked for me, and I flashed CoolROM with Sense 4.1. Looks good, but there's no 4G. I get full 4G coverage where I live, so I'm gonna kind of miss that. I was originally looking for a clean stock ICS ROM without Sense, but when I said this with Sense 4.1 I figured I'd give it a shot. Does anyone know of a stable ROM with working 4G and everything else? The whole reason I decided to root and get S-off was to finally remove all the Sprint bloatware, so I want a clean ROM. If anyone knows of a good ROM, I'd love to hear about it. Thanks!

I've done a bunch of searching on this and finally gave up and decided to ask it here because I can't find anywhere with actual info on it... I was trying to ruu back to the 2.13 base and then reroot from scratch with the new radios but ended up getting stuck in the bootloader with **TAMPERED** **RELOCKED** and **Security Warning** as the headers. It won't let me reboot, it won't let me into recovery, and I'm getting frustrated ... I still have access to fastboot but I'm useless with commands so I haven't been able to fix it. Any help?
Basically, here's the whole details.
I'm on hboot 1.15 s-on, dev-unlocked using regaw's rooting+unlocking tool. The phone had the 2.13 deodexed running, got it from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1860728
Had twrp 2.X (the version before the latest) installed
I tried running the latest ruu.exe on my computer but it kept failing so I looked it up and assumed it must be because I was dev-unlocked.
Went into the bootloader>fastboot and locked it with fastboot oem lock
The phone rebooted into bootloader with the ** Security Warning** header and now I'm stuck...
I would try the downgrade thread.. It's pretty easy and I believe it can be done from bootloader. Then instead of going thru all that hassle, use one of the radio upgrades from captain throw back on themikmik. Just my opinion. Worst that could happen is it doesn't work. Anyone else have feedback on this??

I think I figured it out.. I dug a little deeper into some other threads I found on it from people who've done this before. One of them managed to fix it by running the RUU from the bootloader. It took me a bit to realize it had to be in fastboot (facepalm) for it to run. It failed the first time but it looks like its working this time. :good:
Good luck to ya. I hope it works out.. I would still recommend using the hacked upgrades for radios and such.

I'm in the same boat as you were - can you point me to where/how you got the RUU to run? I've got exactly the same situation, but my RUU (2.13) won't run, either in fastboot or the bootloader.
Hello, I desperately would like to see how to put my HTC Amaze back to stock. A couple of months ago I tried putting it back to stock because the energy rom kept rebooting on me and draining my battery life randomly. Anyways I was not successful and so I just kept the rom and the rebooting problems stopped anyways. Now, its happening again and I would really love for some one to help me get it back to stock so I can see if it improves and maybe get the thing S-OFF later. I am with Wind mobile.
Any help is greatly appreciated,

Hey thanks for the response. So I locked the bootloader and then got the wind RUU renamed it as PH85img.zip or w/e its supposed to be. And now when in the boot screen it cannot find my file I then tried another RUU but this time is used the exe wind one but that one failed as well and came up as an error saying the hboot version is older then what im flashing or something?
So I am stuck at this point. Do you know how to get around this?

Looking into the S-off guide it says i must be on a stock RUU. is the one i got install a stock RUU. Also my hboot version is 1.93.0002 (Mar 15 2012) which is ice cream sandwich according to the Unlimited.IO site, but the RUU im on is definitely gingerbread. What can I do about this?

am I completely screwed now? Cause it seems i wont be able to get S-off or CID off while not on this unsigned rom (t-mobile), i am with Wind. The OTA does not work while on the phone (settings > software update). Would locking my bootloader and then loading the latest OTA zip from wind on the SD card work? I am very stuck!

well choice is yours your android version says GB hboot says ICS :/ i say try the GB s-off tool but do at your own risk...
well S-Off worked so thats good haha. Now i am trying to super CID. However, when uploading the proper hboot for doing so it wont let me because of the CID.
Ignore that last post. I figured it out so all is good. Now here is another question, should i flash CM10.1 or your rom that viper one? How would I go about flashing a rom. I remembered before you would just go into recovery and then format all execpt sd card and then install from zip. I tried that with the CM10.1 rom and when I rebooted it did not work.
went ahead and tried installing the Viper rom and after i reboot (when it said all was good) it show a black screen with green arrows. And its stuck on that. I do not know what to do now. Because I should have everything open. Was I supposed to flash something after doing the S-OFF?
This is what I am getting stuck on. I tried another rom too, same thing. I can boot into 4ext. But cant get past this on boot up.
