Is this fixable? - HTC Rezound

Permanently rooted. Without realizing it, I wiped out all custom roms that were installed in the phone. As far as I know, all it needs is some roms since its technically "empty" with no programs running the phone.

Can this phone be fixed and or still used?
Thanks, Slim!

Yes.

At a time phone can have only one ROM installed.. just download a ROM of your choice from " Rezound Android Dev" threads and flash on to your device

Unless you have boot manager.

Don't know anything about the phone, was considering a buy of one in this state, so what do you mean by this?

Boot manager is an app that lets you dual boot roms. If you don't know about it you probably don't have it. You have to put it on your phone manually

Man this just seems fishy. If they knew how to "empty" out a phone they could have easily put it back to stock at least. Sounds like there's something else wrong with the phone and this is just a cover.

Unless he doesnt know what he is talking about and what he actually did was wipe system in recovery. If this is the case, yes its "fixable".

[Q] roooted, do i take update?

Hi, I'm rooted and I just got an alert to download an update! Is this normal?
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
Never take an ota when you are rooted, thats the rule of thumb. It won't hurt now because both versions of the hboot are unlockable using revolutionary, but i would suggest flashing a rom that's based off the ota.

Because your stock rooted. If you were running a custom rom you wouldnt, but on the stock system everything is the same except for root access and whatever you saw fit to change.
am I correct in assuming that there isn't any custom rom yet for the evo 3d yet. I'm on the temp perm root
There are already quite a few custom roms on the Dev page already, and it's still below 24 hours since unlock and root. Read the [ROM] posts and chose one to flash, after you Revolutionize.

Yes like he said this time is ok. We don't know if the bootloaders will change in the future though, so you can update to get back to the newest and start using custom roms from there.
Personally if I can stay stock rooted and just keep using the HTC updates I would.

[Q] Alien and theme

I am sure I have read posts re Alien and theme not working but cant find them.
Alien works great for me except that I cant get the theme to install (launch). Actually I run the installer form CWM and finishes OK (last version of CWM). I go by the rules. Unlocked, rooted, depeleated battery and recharging 100 %, install Alien, and reboot before the install the theme, clear data/factory defaults before starting everithing, use the Wipe Installer.... what else.. what can I do.. upon installing and rebooting it goes to the HOME launcher, not even the stock Gingerblur, so I have to get rid of that pice of crap
I swithed to Alien from Ronaldo´s ROM, wich is very straightforward and based on Kenn´s and also uses Alien script installer, so I don't have the slightest idea as to what I am doing wrong, missing, or if I am through a bug,
I would appreciate some good soul to help me.
Cheers !!

meaning what you're asking for is old, no longer supported. meaning no one is maintaining it. its a gb based thing. most ppl have moved to ics/jb since its getting closer and closer to being stable. cut your losses and move on in this case means give up on it and find something else. not trying to boss you around with that statement, just saying it as it is

How many people have unlocked using HTC's method?

How many people have unlocked using HTC's method? And how did it work? You like it?
I did...on a Mac at that too. It was easy...no problems.
I've done it on my win7 machine. Process went smoothly, no problems. Only draw is you have to use fastboot to flash ramdisks/kernels. no biggie

Me. I used the HTCevohacks method. I just liked the fact that he included all the stuff in one download rather than downloading multiple things from HTC.
Everything works well. The fact that you have to boot into recovery through fastboot is a bit annoying. Can't just download a ROM manager, download a ROM and flash it. But it isn't too bad.
I've got infected ROM with ziggy kernel and OC to 1.6. No problems.

ego disseravi cum HTC
was easy and worked perfectly on my mac. no setup at all cuz i already had fastboot and adb. just run one command, copy the code, download the unlocktoken, and flash!
sucks to have to boot into recovery from fastboot boot every time i wanna flash a nightly tho...

It "shouldn't" affect the insurance unless it can be proven that your mods are what caused the problem with you phone. Hard to prove and can be hard to disprove.
That's the only reason I am waiting for a non-HTC method of rooting. I like to keep the rooting under the radar just so they don't have a chance to use it against me some day. Call me paranoid.

you are correct. all vzw is going to do is see if they can boot it. if not they will plug it into a machine and then go into download mode where they will flash a copy of everything back onto the device. but if they cant get into download mode they will just use it for parts.
i couldnt get it into download mode, nor did linux see the phone.

I soft bricked...

OK so basically I'm a moron I saw the enoxys abuse app (I'm sure I spelt that wrong) and without thinking I rooted with it since I won't have my computer working till tomorrow. So being rooted I get the brilliant idea to download goo manager and push a recovery because "it was that simple on my gnex ." So now I have the lovely Verizon warning. I know I fix that with Odin but idk the files to use. Yea I did something dumb because my last two phones were virtually unbrickable. I'm hating myself for not reading but yea can someone please point me to a guide or just tell me what to do? Thank you in advance and feel free to make fun and say I deserve it

No, I dont see how. If you flash something in Odin (which seems like your only option) you rewrite everything on the device (excluding the external sdcard) in accordance with the specifications of the file you are flashing.

Thanks for your help everyone. Im downloading the files now.
Can someone please help me? I was rooted but my bootloader was not unlocked and before I read anything... I am so stupid... I downloaded goomanager and now I have a soft brick that I am not able to get out of and a Verizon message that wants me to take my phone in. I have followed every direction and used every recovery rom even the stock rom. The stock rom will not even load in Odin all I get is a invalid bienary error. I really don't know what to do at this point. Thanks
Follow the same directions that were posted above and don't use goo... Use our forums and get stuff specifically for our device.
