Before I begin, I've read through a lot of threads on different forums and have yet to find a solution (that's working for me.)
I could never get my device to S-OFF so simply dropped the task. Not in too big of a rush right now. That being said, I'd like to go back to GB for a bit just to try a few things out.
I never flashed the ICS firmware, therefor I've had to use the old firmware patches. So, I tried running the RUU for GB and it only encountered error after error and my phone stayed at the black HTC screen. Any ideas?
Phone works just fine, just rebooted while I was typing this post and went straight into my ROM.
Only way I found is S-off'd, I had to go back to GB after ICS since it came on the phone I bought and needed to return it. Everyone told me I had to S-Off then RUU
If s on make sure you relock bootloader, then you should be able to run the gb ruu for whichever version you were on.

Downgrading radios when s-on could very well hard brick your phone. I strongly recommend that you s-off first.

Pick a Gingerbread based rom and flash. Try out Chingy's Ineffabilis gingerbread.

If you never ran an ics ruu you still were on gb firmware....so you can run a gb ruu. When you run the same ruu that's not downgrading....sheesh :rolleyes . And its probably the easiest way to get back to a working phone if you are lost and don't really know what you are doing.

Tried that. RUU said "Could not update your phone at this time."
I came from stock GB originally in...April. Is there a specific RUU for that?
I've never used RUU's before so I'm lost.
aaand now, I'm pretty sure my phone is a brick. It's re-locked now, can't go into recovery, won't boot into ROM.

Still only a soft brick. Would suggest trying the other of the two GB RUU .exe version packages if you only tried one of them, just a suggestion until someone else can help you and diagnose.

I'm getting a bootloader version error. An ICS RUU should fix this, right? Granted, I know that means I can't go back until I S-Off, but I'd rather that than have a soft bricked phone
I am in the same boat - S-ON. I flashed Scott's ICS Rooted Stock Rom, along with the GB Patch. I downloaded the PH98IMG.zip and HBOOT doesn't recognize it. Trying the exe may resolve this?
Issue resolved thanks to dsb in the IRC channel. For some reason, I thought I had to throw the unlock.bin on my SD card to unlock.
And to the guy above me, try pushing it through adb. Extract the ROM, find the boot.img, throw it into your ADB directory.
adb reboot bootloader
(make sure you're in fastboot USB)
fastboot flash boot boot.img

With the new leak out, I haven't. However, I can still help.
Make sure there is no P98IMG file on your SD card.
1. Download the mainver fix from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23169557&postcount=4
2. Drop GB ROM of your choice onto SD card.
3. Flash the fix in recovery and reboot into bootloader.
4. Relock your phone by going into adb and typing in fastboot oem lock
5. Run GB RUU of your choice.
6. Use the HTCDev unlock on your bootloader
7. Download a recovery and push it to your phone by typing in fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
8. Boot into recovery, flash ROM, enjoy.

I'm using the latest version of Joelz Sense Redefined and occasionally my phone would just restart when I'm using it. It happened to me today and it won't boot back up. I got it into fastboot by holding down and power after a battery pull but when I choose any of the options, it just shows me the HTC screen and the turns off. It also won't charge...I haven't had this before. Is there something like ODIN for HTC phones?
I don't know what ODIN is but if you're willing to start over you can run the RUU and get yourself back to stock. You'd have to download the latest 2.x version, relock the phone in fastboot, make sure you have HTC Sync installed on your pc, run RUU. Then you can flash Amon Ra again and install su from the AR developer menu to regain root. Then you can flash a ROM again.
Fera,
Thanks for the response. I was downloading an RUU in hopes that would work, but I currently can't find anyone offering them for more than a few kbps.
Did you remember to delete the .img file from your SD card the last time you did an install?
Yeah, I just used Scott's CleanFlash to flash the img.
RUUing actually failed. Said I had the wrong bootloader or something. I had indeed relocked.

There isn't one but try searching for Awesome Recovery Tool in the dev section. It automates mainver workarounds. If that doesn't help your situation search "mainver" as you need to do a fix since your phone is on a higher mainver than the official one due to the ICS leak.

Well you won't get a 3.x RUU until the official ICS release afaik.
You said you can get into fastboot? Try flashing Amon Ra again, I read that v3.10 is best for ICS. And maybe the kernel in case that got corrupted.
Look at this post. You have two options to help you.
Personally I think that fix 2 will get you to where you need to be. I tried it before just to see if I could do it, and it was pretty easy.

Whenever I try to flash a ROM I always get "main version older". I'm on the stock, rooted gingerbread ROM right now with an unlocked bootloader and if I try to flash any ROM whether it's a gingerbread or ICS ROM I always get the same message when the phone reboots to the bootloader to flash the kernel.
What can I do about this?
After I first unlocked my phone I tried to install an ICS rom then I installed a gingerbread rom after and I never saw that message once. Then I started seeing it so I went back to stock to see if that would fix my issue but it hasn't.

It mostly mean your htc rezound is on a newer main version of software you going to need to downgrade by changing the number here a link to help you do this and take out the older message that come up http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467099
So, theoretically, if I take it all the way back down to 1.00.000.0 I could be able to flash anything because whatever I flash will always be greater than the main version.

Well it works. Anyone have any idea how I keep getting stuck at the HTC screen when I flash some roms (ICS ones mostly). I've never made it past the HTC screen with CleanRom and now I'm on the new Bamf ICS 0.5 rom and I'm sitting here stuck again. The kernel flashed successfully in the bootloader so I'm not sure why I keep getting stuck.

...Gingerbread roms aren't working either. I have flashed 1 ICS rom and 2 Gingerbread roms in the past but for some reason now, I can't flash anything.
I'm wondering if flashing the stock RUU and relocking, then unlocking again and reflashing Amon Ra would fix the issue. After I originally unlocked was the only time I could ever successfully flash anything.
Don't see how locking and re-unlocking would make a difference.

I'm running out of options.
I have a Rezound on RezRom (latest). The phone is s-off... I can't believe I got through that with my old eyes and limited tech ability...
I got a new phone, and want to give the Rezound to my daughter. What would be the right thing to flash to make her stock, and able to receive updates? I don't care if the phone stays s-off or goes back to s-on-- she'll never use that feature anyhow.
I'm guessing I can just run this: RUU_Vigor_VERIZON_WWE_2.01.605.11_Radio_RS_0.95.00.1123r_3161E_9K_QMR_release_233635_signed.exe and all will be back to stock, the updates will work, the phone will be erased and probably s-on again.
If someone can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. (So would she... she's still rocking an OG droid!)
Thanks much in advance for any help!
Cheers,
SteveRN
S-OFF will remain after RUU but there's a thread about returning to S-ON but make sure it's after the RUU or you'll brick your phone beyond repair.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW
Running that ruu will get you completely back to stock with the exception of s-off. If you want to set it back to s-on there's simply a fast boot command you need to run. There are a few threads around here that talk about it if that's the way you want to go.

Many thanks to you all. (of course I hit the button) ;-)
I'll run the RUU and leave it S-off. As long as it's on the upgrade path I'm a happy camper... and If I ever need to flash something for her, I can.
If it breaks or anything I'll be able to s-on it I suppose, she would only send it in through me anyway... (yeesh... kids )
Still stuck trying to flash stock back to my S-Off rezound...
Uh oh. Still stuck. I run the RUU i listed above and it errors out.
I boot the phone into the latest RezRom (ics) and run the RUU; the RUU gets to the part where it says "ok, say ok to flash this" and then it comes up "unknown error".
Am I supposed to start this up while the phone is in recovery? or is there a zip I can flash like a ph98img.zip that would take me to stock, even if it's s-off stock?
Argh.
RezRom still boots up fine. I can reboot into TWRP as well.
Help! (I need a clue....)

glad it worked out, second recommendation was going to be pulling the rom.zip file from the ruu.exe and running that through hboot itself.
I'm S-on and running Conrom. I decided to relock and go back to stock to take the latest update.
After executing fastboot oem lock, my phone won't boot past the Hboot screen.
When I installed Conrom I temp flashed amon ra. After that my hboot said Tampered but everything worked great.
Now it says Tampered, Relocked, Security Warning.
How do I get back to the .12 OTA or Conrom for that matter?
Fastboot devices will return my serial number. Adb devices returns nothing.
Thanks!
Fastboot unlock. Or just S-Off.

you have to be on a stock hboot before re-locking. i would flash a stock hboot, then re-lock, and finally ruu.

OK so open the ruu and follow it until it tells you to plug in your device. Don't plug it in.

I don't know if it's safe to put the ruu back on my sd card, relock and reload the ruu.
Here is the the 3.14.605.10 RUU as a PH98IMG:

Download the 3.14.605.12.zip and rename ph98img.zip. Put it on your sdcard. After that boot into bootloader and lock your phone. After you lock go back into bootloader and it will recognize and flash the ph98img.zip. flash this twice and you are good to go

No need to lock as flashing the RUU in bootloader will relock it for you, it will also s-on. The important part is to make sure you are on a stock hboot, which it looks like you are. If you want to go through the effort of flashing the RUU, just flash it, then you will need to unlock and s-off if you'd like

Okay. I'm back in action! Not sure how that happened but it doesn't matter now.
Thanks all!
i have rezound that someone gave me and its not booting up. s-on, rooted, bootloader unlocked but its stuck at the htc screen. anyone know how i can return this back to stock without s-off or how i can get s-off without being booted up. i can get into recovery and bootloader but flashing firmware or another rom didnt work.
anyone have any ideas?
i dont know whether its on gb or ics. he just gave it to me like this.

Go to the bootloader screen and tell us what hboot and radio versions you have.
Hboot 2.21 is gingerbread.
2.25 is the first ICS OTA.
2.27 is the global update.
Did you run an RUU?
That should work.

Baseband is radio.
Anyway, that means you are on Gingerbread.
So you can either flash the GB RUU, or upgrade with the ICS RUU.

Since that's an ICS rom, you should flash the 3.14.605.12 RUU.

All RUUs work s-on.
Only flashing hboot/radio individually requires s-off, and downgrading RUUs.

Need to lock the boot loader before running the ruu if you're s-on.

This is the process I've used from what I've read here many times.
Place the PH98 file of the RUU on your ext SD card.
Relocking the bootloader always has started the flash process for me but if it doesn't.
Pull the battery.
Boot into bootloader.
Let the RUU flash.
Let the phone boot but don't set anything up.
Shut down the phone and pull the battery.
Reboot into bootloader again.
Flash the RUU a second time.
Boot the phone.
Delete the PH98 file off your ext SD card.
Power down and pull the battery.
Boot back into the bootloader and do a factory reset.
Reboot again and enjoy.

THANK YOU!!!! Thanks all around! I am proficient in adb and rooting and unlocking bootloaders but what ive come to realize about htc is the whole s-off/s-on crap. as soon as i relocked the bootlooader and flashed the ruu already on my sd card i was able to get booted back up. im running a s3 as my my driver and dont really have to deal with radios and hboot, but when i had my thunderbolt it really started to bring back memories. thanks for the help guys!
