Just got s-off and am having a major issue - HTC Rezound

ive read every thread and nothing seems to work...
ive done the internal and sd memory fixes but im still having a major issue, i was running clean rom de1.2 perfectly before i went and started the s-off procedure...now once i achieved s-off and i went to upgrade my rom to cleanrom de 1.3 i was getting the memory errors and reboots...went through the steps to fix the memory as i mentioned earlier and im still getting reboots when i receive txts or emails...normally id think this were a rom issue but ive tried some different roms...i thought i had the issues taken care of but now when i go to play some music it reboots plus im still getting reboots with sms and gmail...i froze gmail and have bought enough time to charge my phone to a decent ammount (have been working on this all morning), everything is current and have tried everything from wiping several times and re-installing the roms several times, all the fastboot and adb commands from the storage issues...flashed different kernels and even recoveries...i cant even stream music from my laptop and play it on the phone with out there being a reboot...i can send sms fine, it just appears to be receiving them is the issue...dont know if this is one problem or several...what information of my phone would you guys need to diagnose a problem...
im on:
Cleanrom DE 1.3 w/ 3.0.13 kernel
baseband v. 1.22.10.0310r 1.22.10.0308r
build 3.13.605.7 cl363816 release keys
hboot 2.21.2121
not sure what else to try...is there a method to getting back to bone stock so i can retry this whole thing again...im talking relocking the device and redoing all the htcdev crap/root/s-off/rom again
thank you very much in advance for any help

Sounds like youre on old firmware. Flash the old firmware patch. If it doesn't help Flash the ruu. If you're s-off no need to relock at all. You'll need to have a Ph file for recovery unless you want to unlock

ive flashed those several times...is there difference between them? the ones i flashed were from the clean rom folder after installing the rom

Best thing to do is run a ruu then it wipes your phone clean.

I had the sd issues after s-off and I never did the editing to fix the issues all I did to fix them was reflash amon ra then reflashed my backup of cleanrom and reflashed the kernel and rebooted then let it startup and then pulled battery and then restarted the phone and everything was back to normal sd card issue fixed. Try that it might work. Oh and I took the jhboot when it asked when it asked if I wanted to install it.

ok the old firmware patch seems to have worked...i really hope so cuz ive just about exhausted my AD&B keys...

ok so now that that has been taken care of, will it be smooth sailing from here on out? thanks for everything, especially the devs and hackers that made my headache even possible...
came from a droid x and that couldve been a hell of a device, wish there were an s-off equivalent to its ridiculous bootloader...but yeah loving the rezound dont even wanna return it even its mangled battery terminal...

ok spoke too soon...the sms reboots are gone...i can make calls but now the memory is back to being a problem...both internal and sd are showing as non existent...so do i now run those memory fixes again? or just wipe and install the rom completely from scratch again?

youre prolly on an incompatible hboot(cant mix GB and ICS)
heres what id do:
-run the 3.13.605.07 RUU
-clear storage in hboot
-install the ics jpbear hboot,if desired
-install recovery
-fresh start cleanrom 1.3
i just did the above to go from 3.11/1.2 to 3.13/1.3 and i have absolutely no issues. its smooth,fluid,sd card is there,never rebooted.

im not supposed to relock for this am i? do i just flash in recovery like 605.1 ruu?

-clear storage in hboot
-install the ics jpbear hboot,if desired

-fresh start cleanrom 1.3 (wipe cache,dalvic,data/factory reset,system,boot) do not install old firmware patch.
follow those directions exactly,and you wont have prollems. if you dont know what something means,ask.

That's a Rom. A ruu installs everything. Radios, boot and everything else.

despite many here misusing the term ruu, a ruu is an executable file run on a PC which does quite a bit more than a rom flash. Run one of the Ruu, out wit until Verizon releases a real ruu for ics, which hopefully will be Wednesday.

Despite however exceedingly helpful once again pointing out how many people "misuse" the term RUU may be.. This did not help him solve his problem in the slightest.
OP:
In the above instructions where he says "Run RUU":
-You will need to download the full ICS leak from android police or I believe there's a link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631630
--There are instructions on that site on how to install the RUU.
Then follow the previous poster's instructions about installing a new hboot (if you want to, it is not required)
**EDIT: You do not NEED to do this, please only do it if you know what you're doing. I have had absolutely no reason to replace my hboot and I haven't had any issues.**
Then you will need to reinstall a custom recovery.
Then you can proceed with your wiping/flashing. I remember a previous poster saying to do a factory reset after updating to the new RUU. Not sure if it's required, but I did it and I'm not having any issues.
Hope this helps!

yeah thanks again and i found that original RUU im installing now...i wouldve updated my status earlier but the download took an hour or so...everything seems fine at the moment...its currently updating /system, but i did notice it relocked my device, and i still have s-off though...so my question is, do i need to worry about being locked if ive still got s-off?
UPDATE:
ive got a fully functioning phone now...thanks everyone for the assistance and patience...this has been the most critical mod ive done to any phone...dont know where it screwed up along the way but im gonna enjoy this for a while before i tamper with it again

Need some help please =)

So... I flashed scrosler's Stock Rooted RUU 3.14, and once that was cleanly on and working I got into amonra and cleared data, flashed Venasaur 3.1, and then in Hboot ran the 3.14 kernel again.
How did I go wrong and what's the simple fix that will get me with the pokemon? ~thanks <3
(I'm getting bootlooped that is)
You flashed an incompatible kernel. Are you s-on or s-off? If s-off just flash the Rom again in amon ra and reboot phone. No need to install a kernel it will do it for you. If s-on you need the kernel for venasaur Rom which may need to be flashed in fastboot unless someone has made it into a flammable zip. If s-on might as well take the plunge and s-off. It's a very easy process.
sent from my Clean Rezound
I am S-on, as soon as I find something condutable and more reliable than a paperclip i'll probably do S-off haha
I don't think anyway has, I just time getting the image boot file off of the rom and running it in H-boot, I still get a bootloop (I'm genuinely surprised that it didn't work), that's a pretty sticky situation, i'm stuck without a phone until that's solved =(
I repeal that statement, taking the boot.img out and flashing it in hboot worked, wonderful! thanks =)
Question for you?..
Now that that you have your Venusaur 3.1 running..are you having any issues with Wifi?
I did the re-lock, android police ruu, unlock, install recovery, clean wipe x10, install venusaur 3.1, and then installed sense4 boot image for the venusaur rom. However I keep getting Wi-fi Errors, I'm guessing my wifi modules are wrong but I'm just trying to figure out where I may have messed up. I tried flashing the wifi modules provided by http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1642217 but no go...any ideas?
well i'm fairly curious how you were able to get the sense4 boot image, it gave me a mainver error, I took the boot image out of the rom and ran that.
Which got me in, and wifi isn't giving me a problem surprisingly, but I'm now curious to how your supposed to go 3g with the new setting setup.
My Sd card also can't mount I'm not sure if that's related to 3.14 and pokemon rom or just my terrible flashing
Watercycle, are you still having problems? If you flashed Scott's Rom that is not an ruu. I believe you are still o n the old firmware. You will need to go to nilsp business Rom in the development section and download the old firmware patch (i think it's in the 4th post) then flash in amon ra. You should be set after that.
sent from my Clean Rezound
actually I flashed scott's 3.14 deodex and old firmware patch + boot img before flashing the pokemon and pokemon boot img
I'm currently only struggling with the issue of sd card mount now

The patch may still be on your sd card from Scott then and if not go to the thread I suggested. Just boot to recovery and flash the patch again. You will need that patch for any ics Rom you run because you are still on gb firmware. Don't panic your almost there.
sent from my Clean Rezound
how can you tell if your on old gb firmware? =( since it still boots up and works
darnit I thought i was on ics after that full ruu =o
so after having flashed the pokemon in Hboot i flash the old firmware again? (i'm scared it will bootloop me because i finally got it working haha)

I briefly searched the venasaur thread (which you can do to) and found most people having WiFi issues either had the wrong kernel or just reset their router and bam, WiFi works. I can't help you anymore then that so you may want to ask in that thread.
Edit: did you unzip the Rom and get the boot.IMG there or did you download seperate? If you didn't unzip and take it out of the Rom then try that. You should be good.

It will fix your sd card. You never ran the ruu if all you flashed was Scott's rooted, deodexd Rom. If you get with me tomorrow I can walk you through the ruu but I think at that point you might as well s-off. Time to find that wire

If you could see your sd card on Scott's Rom it was because of the patch. Make sure you report back. I need some sleep.

Okay...
I re-locked my bootloader using the usual, fastboot oem lock.
then I download the full leaked RUU from Android Police, androidpolice.com/2012/05/07/exclusive-download-htc-rezound-ice-cream-sandwich-build-3-14-605-5-brings-a-handful-of-fixes-and-newer-radios/"
Booted to Hboot with that file on the SD card in the proper name, completely flashed the phone with the Leaked RUU
Once OS loaded, rebooted back to fastboot and used hTcdev.com to unlocked my bootloader again. (I do not have S-Off yet).
Then I downloaded and flashed through fastboot commands the TWRP 2.1.1. Touchscreen recovery.
Once this was done, I downloaded and installed Venusaur 3.1.0 through recovery after performing scot's superwipe x10,
Then fastboot flashed the boot.img for the sense 4.0 roms.
Wi-Fi does not turn on at all...It will state Turning on...but not to long after will give error.
So after all of that I tried grabbing the wifi module.zip from one of the stock rom de-odexed rooted 3.14.605.5 roms, and tried flashing that through recovery and manually adding the file through root explorer..nothing.
Hope that helps clarify.
Also i would through an inquiry to there thread but I don't have enought posts yet to post in development.

Why are you not s-off? Makes life much easier. What I have concluded is that you need to start over. You have the wrong kernel. Wipe everything then flash the Rom in recovery. You will have had to unzip the Rom on your pc then take the boot.IMG out and flash this in fastboot to the phone. I don't think there is a ph.zip file for this. There are very good directions if you search that thread.

Sorry guys but it's bed time. If you both follow those directions you should be fine. If not get with me in the morning.

I`m stumped any help would be great

the issue I have is that I unlocked the bootloader through HTCdev I flashed AMOnRA recovery worked fine, then I did the s-off with the wire trick and that worked fine, I installed the Jb_hboot for ICS and then I did RUU of the 3.14.605.5 then I wiped and flashed Business_ICS4.0.3_Sense3.6-v4.0 but I get reboots if I go into the dialer and try to dial a number, and I can see my external sd card, but if I flash the GB patch i dont have anymore reboots, but I lose the ability to see and use the sd card when the phone is on. what the heck i`m im doing wrong i have wiped many times and reinstalled many times and no joy, I have used a different rom and it does the same thing.
Have you tried unmounting and formatting the sd card?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
yeah I have tried that, the thing is that without the GB patch flash I see the SDcard ok but I get reboots but with the GB patch flashed I get no more reboots but no sdcard, but I shouldn`t have to flash the GB patch since I have ICS firmaware, driving me crazy I even tried the sdcard fix no workie
When you did the ruu, did you boot into boot loader a second time to let it finish updating? If not, you probably don't have the new radios.

What he said RUU needs to flash twice so you currently have a hybrid firmware. A second flash will install everything.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA
i see I will give that a try
no joy I ended up flash the RUU_Vigor_VERIZON_WWE_2.01.605.11_Radio_RS_0.95.00.1123r_3161E_9K_QMR_release_233635_sign
any went backwards, funny thing is I thought it would relock the bootloader and turn s-on but it left it unlocked and s-off so I will have to reflash the ICS stuff and see what happen
When you flash the ics "ruu" through hboot, it will appear to finish, but it really doesn't. Make sure to re-enter hboot and volume up to update one more time. This finishes the second part of the update, which includes the radios. Let us know if it works out for you.
yeah I tired several times of rebooting the bootloader and flashing the ICS Ruu as PH98img and nothing so I reverted back the stock exe. file like I did before and I flash the business ICS rom and flashed the GB patch and everything is working fine but I can`t figure out why it won`t flash correctly with the ICS RUU all I know it doesn`t reboot on me and I can use my SDcard

[Q] Serious problems switching ROMs

I've got an Amaze 4G on Wind Mobile. My brother and I recently tried upgrading it to ICS. We followed numerous sets of instructions, flashing a recovery, a new version of hboot, s-offing the phone, changing the SuperCID and flashing an ICS ROM. We originally tried Android Revolution HD, but the phone always got stuck at the HTC logo and wouldn't boot up.
After a few hours of searching the forums and trying various things, we finally got the Energy ROM version 5/1 installed, after changing the SuperCID back to the Wind default (globa001 I think). We figured it was an issue with the Revolution ROM, but when I tried upgrading to Energy 5/6, I ran into the same issue.
I have searched the forums and found numerous people with the same problem, but I have not found a solution. I spent all night flashing ROMs and trying various things and I finally got it to go to the Energy boot animation, but it would just sit there and do nothing (I left it a good half hour). The next morning I tried installing Speed Rom with the SuperCID 11111111 and it worked. However, I had tried the same thing the night before, so I'm not sure what changed.
I'm not happy with Speed and would like to go back to Energy, but I'm worried it will brick my phone again.
I am currently using the TWRP recovery, but I used 4ext before with the same result. My firmware versions are as follows:
RUBY PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.93.0002
OpenADSP-v02.6.0.2226.00.0202
eMMC-boot
Any help would be very much appreciated.

ok, well if your on wind mobile you want to use super cid.
but heres what i think the problem is, you didnt mention anything about wiping. try flashing the superwipe.zip before flashing roms. and always have a nandroid of a working rom. or else you may get stuck....
if you need anymore help, i will be watching this thread
Sorry, I forgot to mention that. I used superwipe and tried the various wipe options in the recovery, with the same result.
I'll definitely look into nandroid before I try installing another rom ;-)
I'd advise switching back to 4EXT recovery, makes flashing easier, trust me. Now update your phone to stock ICS, install 4EXT recovery then format all partitions except sd then install the ROM of your choice.
Before installing ICS you'll need to flash GB stock from WIND, then update to ICS via either OTA or directly on the phone via OTA. Then do what I said above, let us know what happens.
yeah like dark said above me, use 4ext. it makes flashing easier.

Thanks for your help everyone. I'm a little confused about how to proceed though. I downloaded the stock Wind ruu.exe file from the forums, but I'm not sure what to do with it. I'm running Linux, so I can't execute the file. Is there any way to flash it without a Windows machine?
Also, do I need to relock my bootloader and go through the whole s-off procedure again, or can I simply downgrade to GB and upgrade back to ICS again without going through all those steps?

Once you're s-off once, you'll always be s-off unless you s-on again, to use the windows file your best option would be to use WINE. Which I figure you should be know how to use.

Yes, that's the one I installed. What will the other kernel do?

It's the kernel he built his rom on, so requires it to work properly.

[Q] Is my phone dead?

For the last week or so, I've noticed my Wi-Fi has been dropping in and out. I had been trying some JB ROMS lately and restoring to another Sense ROM. I figured it needed a big refresh, so I ran the 403.605.2 RUU from the root of the SD card in the PH98IMG.zip form.
Still the same issues, and now my 4G is really flaky.
Now I'm wondering if my phone is just on its way out.
Is running the RUU from a PC better?
Can I do any other wipe/flash combos to reset it even further?
I am S-Off...
Run the ruu again and perform a factory reset in hboot BEFORE installing a custom recovery.

the most up to date ruu is firmware_4.05.605.14 with the 2.28 HBoot and 2.23.10.0123r, 2.23.10.0124r radios.....here is a link ( https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/12405441/new.global.firm.PH98IMG.zip ) make sure you re install your recovery afterwards and that both radios read 2.23 and not 2.22...theres much more info on this here ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2260154 ) but make sure its the new global ota latest update...this is what i did and hope this helps you
Edit: i too am s-off and ran this with all jb roms posted and it works perfectly fine....also always make backups and rename that file on the link and make sure it looks like PH98IMG.zip

Thanks for the info. I had run the 4.03.605.2 RUU a couple of times, and also the latest official RUU that updated to 4.05.605.14 with the correct radios you listed. I have no idea what was going on, but my phone seemed to get worse every step. It would reboot, Wi-Fi quit, the 4G quit. It would go into a bootloop on the white HTC screen and wouldn't boot until I ran the RUU again. It finally went to that mode where it wouldn't boot at all until I charged the battery for a few hours. I figured it was hosed, and started browsing eBay for something new.
I finally ran the latest official RUU again and let it update OTA to the latest. I then did a factory reset under settings, then from the bootloader. I ran it stock for a day, then finally last night installed Amon RA and installed EclipticRez v9 and (fingers crossed) things seem to be back to normal.
I really wish I knew what happened, and I'm wondering if it could be battery related. I was sure it was something hardware related. Nothing I did for the couple of days before I first posted helped...
Weird...my phone wasn't that loopy...I've seen similar errors on other posts but if followed proper steps should work fine...I always read twice and flash once just to be safe instead of getting flash happy lol..I updated radios because signal and battery life was poor and read that jelly bean required the latest ruu...so I did tons of research

[Q] Trying to RUU to update my firmware not working.

So I'm currently on Flyhalf's CM10.1 (S-ON), and I checked the recommended firmware/radios for the ROM and realized I'm outdated. It calls for Hboot 2.26 and radio 2.23.10.0123r, 2.23.10.0124r. but I'm on 2.25 and 1.22.10.0421r/1.22.10.0424r. I just updated to the latest version of the rom and I keep getting random bootlooping as well as the rom being way more unstable than the previous build I was on for about 4 months.
So, I'm trying to use Wildhorse's guide to updating firmware through RUU in hopes that it will solve my problems and it just plain isn't working. I've put the RUU in my external SD as PH98IMG, waited for my battery to charge to 90%, shut off the phone, pulled the battery, then gone into Hboot to flash it but I keep getting "No Image or Wrong Image" and it just goes back to the main Hboot screen every single time. Can anyone explain to me why this is happening even though I'm following everybody's directions exactly? I've been searching through the forums for about 2 hours now and I can't get an answer.
I'm still kind of new to HTC devices and how they work, so if anyone could help me figure this out I'd be very thankful.

You are on a leaked firmware, the currently available RUUs are all older than that, and you can't go back when you are S-ON. You need to S-OFF then you can RUU back to 3.14.605.12 and then OTA back up to the current 4.5.605.14

Okay, I was really hoping that wasn't the case. I hate to ask for more help, but I don't really understand how I'm supposed to get S-Off when I need to be on the stock RUU to do it, and I can't get on the stock RUU because I need to be S-Off to do so...
I hope I'm not stuck this way. Technically I'm on all the same software as I was yesterday, but now I'm getting random reboots all the time as well as bootloops that either go on for ten minutes or never end. I was on a build of CM10.1 from may with Amon Ra recovery, then tried to flash the newest TWRP that requires the new firmware (didn't realize I was on older firmware) and it bricked my phone. So I put on an older CWM recovery, tried to backup and it froze in the middle of every backup it tried to make. Put on an old TWRP, backups worked, so I flashed the newest version of CM10.1 (again not knowing I didn't have newest firmware) and that's when the bootlooping/rebooting started. I recovered to the old version of CM10.1 and the issue didn't go away, so now I'm just trying to figure out what I can do to get my phone in a usable state again.

Hey, wait a sec... :laugh:
My bad, I just double checked, and with that Hboot/radio combination you are on stock ICS firmware already! Just RUU version 3.14.605.12, that should work without issues if done correctly and you should be back to pure ICS and can then allow the OTA to upgrade you in a few steps to 4.5.605.14

Oh, thank god. Hahah. I didn't remember ever flashing any leaked firmware before, so I was kind of confused there. I figured I may have done it somewhere in the unlocking/rooting process and just couldnt remember. Okay, thanks again for the help. RUU's have always confused me with the way they work. I should be stable in no time hopefully.
And now I'm having more issues... I can't use the Rom Updater because somethings wrong with my usb connection. I can plug it in and transfer files and such, but trying to use any ADB commands results in "Device not found" and the Rom Updater says it can't connect to my device either. My HTC Drivers are up to date, so I'm not sure why this is happening. Is there any way I can just get the PH98IMG.zip for 3.14.605.12 instead of having to use the RUU?
Not really sure what you are trying to run, I didn't think there was a 3.14.605.12 executable RUU, but use this page and instructions and grab the file: http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...cream-sandwich-ruu-for-final-ota-3-14-605-12/
Remember you will need to RELOCK the bootloader if I am not mistaken it is possible to hard brick if you don't!
Then copy to external SD card, name the file PH98IMG.zip (beware of the Windows "double zip" issue), verify MD5 on the SDcard, then reboot into hboot and go. Do it twice!!! Let it boot up and sit for about 10 minutes to calm down, then remove the PH98IMG.zip file from the SD card. Everything should be smooth sailing from there...
You should then be S-ON, completely stock. You will need to unlock again to do anything more

Strange, re-locking the bootloader was all I needed to get the RUU to update in my bootloader. No one else said to do that in any of the instructions, but I did it and immediately it started updating with the PH98IMG that I was originally trying to flash (from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38527788&postcount=745&nocache=1&z=1965375486761331).
I'm back to stock now, but firmware is 4.03.605.2, not 4.03.605.14. Is that going to be an issue or can I go right ahead with re-unlocking the bootloader and flashing recovery/roms?

Well, I have some good news and bad news...
Bad news is you are now on a leaked firmware and will have to S-OFF to go up or down in versions unless a full RUU is released for the current OTA of 4.5.605.14...
Good news is you are the global leak, and you can use the JuopunutBear S-OFF exploit from http://unlimited.io/index.htm just as if you were on the original ICS release. Also, you can S-OFF and use most ROMs and recoveries as you are now on a global mode firmware.

Lol, all right, I would have tried to get the right firmware on there but my phone got so buggy that it wouldn't even boot into the rom anymore. So I couldn't get it on the SD card and I had to make do with what I had on there. At this point, I'm just glad the phone is usable again and I might leave it stock for a while. Thank you so much for all your help, I couldn't have figured this out without you!

Cool, glad you got it working.
That firmware is actually pretty decent and rock solid stable, you shouldn't have any more software related issues... Plus you can root/ROM like normal from that version, the radios may be slightler lower than most recommended versions, but they should work fine. If you do decide to go the ROM route again, I would suggest going S-OFF before starting, it will just make it easier in the long run.
Hey, just wanted to ask some questions as a follow-up since this seems to be the most relevant (and active) thread to my issue:
Long story short, got a new (to me) Rezound. It was running CM10, from the forthnightly thread. New SIM card from Verizon and I was getting data, but the no mobile network found error. After reading the threads I could find on the error, went with the suggestion of a wipe and so I did. A few too many beers while reading thru the forums, and I did the wipe a bit too thoroughly. Now I have a no OS found, and instead of thinking I know what I'm doing I'd like to ask to make sure I understand this correctly.
Currently, the phone is S-OFF, with TWRP 2.5.0.0. It's saying I'm not rooted, but then again no OS to be rooted. The dump from my bootloader is as follows:
*** TAMPERED ***
*** LOCKED ***
VIGOR PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-2.28.0000
RADIO-2.23.10.0123r/2.23.10.0124r
OpenDSP-v14.6.0.7708.00.0507

After checking this thread and this one here it looks like the following applies:
* I can just run the regular RUU (executable) to load a stock image without having to revert back to S-ON first.
* I will have to re-unlock the bootloader thru htcdev after RUUing
* I'll need to reinstall TWRP
Is this right? Am I missing anything?

Okay, that's good to know. For now though, if I just wanted to get my phone working, make sure there's not a SIM issue and such I could go back to a stock image without worrying? I just would rather do a lot more reading and make sure I understand what I'm doing before I try to put a rom on and screw things up further.

No doubt its good to be cautious when you are s-off. If you are just wanting plain jane stock then you could just flash a ruu from boot loader.

Recovery as in HBoot or TWRP? Because I still have TWRP. I can get the windows executable RUU for ICS if need be.

S-off is S-off... installing a RUU wont change that, it may set you back to 'Locked", but you are S-off so it doesn't matter, you can stay locked&s-off and its no different than unlocked/S-off.
If you are going back to stock and are S-off I would use the Global Mode Leak (4.3.605.2) available on AndroidPolice and flash in Hboot... rename file to PH98IMG.zip and place in root of SD card (how it gets there is a irrelevant) then reboot into Hboot, confirm and wait.
