I have a phone to return and would like to know how to remove Amon Ra Recovery I used the All-In-One Kit to install the recovery but i want to go back to stock and re-lock the bootloader ASAP can someone please help me I need to send this phone back. BTW what does the Stock option under kernel do would it return it back to stock recovery thanks.
flash the GB ruu and your phone will be stock but you will still have to relock the bootloader
Noob at Flashing RUU
Sorry for asking but I'm a noob at flashing but where do i get the stock RUU and how and where do i get it and flash it. Is there any links on how to do this. Would going to recovery and unzipping a file do the trick in my SD card. Not sure if i hit the spot on this but thanks for the help.
Got It
I figured it out thank you

If you could help me. What did you figure out and how did you do it?
Stock Recovery
I don't think you need to run an ruu to get the stock recovery back. search and you should be able to find a download link to get the stock recovery and you can just flash that with adb/fastboot.

For stock recovery and latest ruu firmware: http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ull-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/
Once you download, copy to root of micro sdcard, and rename to PH98IMG.zip
Then boot into bootloader, and it should detect it and flash automatically. note it has to flash twice. You must say yes, It will look like it rest and restarted, but it's normal.
Don't forget to delete or rename it after your done or

If you are on a stock ROM, all you have to do to replace amon ra is to do "fastboot flash recovery [stock recovery filename].img "
Then if you want to run amon ra again, just do "fastboot boot recovery [amon ra recovery].img"

Problem solved. Thanks to everyone that responded. I really do appreciate it!!!!
What exactly did you flash? The Mainver error only relates to the kernel IIRC.
The only thing I tried to flash was the custom recovery after I accidentally ran the ota update with the custom recovery still on my phone. When I should've flashed back to the stock recovery before accepting the update. And now I can't get into custom recovery. When I try to reflash armon ra it won't take. I've lost root access even though I have superuser still on my phone.

how are you trying to reflash Amon Ra ? , what recovery do you boot into ? As long as your still unlocked you should be able to flash Amon Ra through Hboot it has nothing to do with root access at that point. Even odder that the OTA flashed through the custom recovery, thought it would error out and not take if it wasn't the stock recovery. Unless you ran Con's Stock rooted, but then you wouldn't have an issue with superuser or root access.
Should be able to flash stock recovery through fastboot relock and RUU then if you really are stuck. Otherwise , no reason you shouldn't be able to reflash Amon Ra and reroot through recovery.

I take it the phone can't boot up at all? Have your tried fastboot flashing the stock kernel?

I'm trying to flash it in hboot as ph98img. And when I go to recovery it seems to go to the stock recovery with the little phone and a green circle but shortly after it turns into the red triangle and phone symbol.
Try flashing the recovery in fastboot. Download the latest version of AmonRa here and extract the recovery-ra-vigor-3.13-gnm.img. Take that file and place it in the same file directory you place the tools to unlock your bootloader (needs to be in the same directory as fastboot.exe).
Put your phone into bootloader and connect to PC and flash the recovery-ra-vigor-3.13-gnm.img in fastboot using the command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-ra-vigor-3.13-gnm.img

Hi guys. Finally i updated to ICS from the OTA and i reunlocked HBoot with HTC Dev. Now i'm Unlocked again which recovery shuld i Flash? And how to root now?
Same here
I had previously relocked my phone and reverted to stock cause I could not get a kernal that would not reboot my phone or cause it to heat up on a custom ics rom. I ran the new OTA and unlocked the phone via hTCdec site. I am now on 2.89 w/ hboot 1.58 s-on. I flashed the 4ext recovery successfully. I want to go s-off just cause lol. will flashing Vipers OTA give s-off or is there something else I should do?
Yes i know 4ext is the best but you can not install it because you need root and to get root you need a zip file and a recovery first. My question is which recovery and SU zip file.

Agreed. I am not currently rooted just unlocked. I flashed the recovery via fastboot. download a recovery .img and place it in the same folder where you have your unlock files for the htcdev site. in the command prompt direct it to the folder where u have fastboot and your recovery files. type,"fastboot flash recovery "yourrecovery.img" Do not use the quotations I used and replace yourrecovery with the file name of your recovery.

So I flashed cm 10.1 before achieving S-Off. Bootloader unlocked, rooted with TWRP installed. It sits on "quietly brilliant". I can get into fastboot and recovery, but cannot get any files onto my sd card. Can someone help me get back to a stock rooted rom so I can achieve S-Off properly? Or if it's easier, I'll go all the way to complete stock and start over. Any help is greatly appreciated.

You most likely need to fastboot flash the kernel (boot.img) so the ROM will boot. Just another reason to get S-off

Would it work to flash the stock kernel and then stock RUU? Also, twrp cannot mount my sd card.

You have to install the stock recovery first as I recall, then you can RUU.

i tried flashing stock recovery from fastboot and i got a "not allowed" message.
Why can't you take out your sd card plug in the pc and place meanbean rom on there. Flash meanbean which will flash the kernel. Then flash stock rooted rom.

Would be better help if I knew more of what is going on. Were you trying to S-OFF with CM10.1 installed? Did you just flash CM10.1 while S-ON and can't get the phone to boot? But anywho... with what I know now:
If you still have the CM10.1 ROM on your phone:
take the boot.img out of the .zip and
fastboot flash boot boot.img
that will install the boot.img / kernel and should allow your phone to boot.
Then you can go back in TWRP and flash a stock ROM.
To flash a ROM in fastboot:
fastboot -w
to wipe you device
fastboot update ROM.zip
that will install your ROM in fastboot mode.
fastboot flash boot boot.img after too I assume.
Or you can even do so by using adb in TWRP:
adb shell
mount data
adb push d:\custom_rom.zip /data/
Wait until the push finishes and restart your device to recovery again with "adb reboot-bootloader"
mount data
mount /data /sdcard (mount the data folder into your sdcard folder)
find your ROM.zip
Confirm the flash by following the on-screen instructions
if no errors then reboot the device
Also, in TWRP with your phone plugged into the computer you should be able to mount the phone to get access to your storage on your computer. Not 100% sure why that would matter or why you need to get to your storage though. I'm pretty sure that's called USB-OTG.

Also another option.
If you're trying to get the .zip for the boot.img just download the version you need from the computer, open the .zip, pull the boot.img out and do the fastboot command to install the boot.img / kernel.
If you need or want to RUU then you should be able to:
fastboot oem lock
that will obviously relock your device
then you can fastboot oem rebootRUU
then fastboot flash zip RUU.zip (assuming you have your proper RUU already) when on the black HTC screen
after that completes fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then you'll be back to stock and should be able to boot the device, root, or whatever you please.
I think I covered every option. Lol.
Personally, I would just RUU again.
I've done this before with CM10 while trying to gain S-OFF and just RUU'd my device to see what would happen.
Keep in mind: anything can happen. I went into the process knowing there would be a possibility of a fail in which case I would smash the phone and pay $150 to asurion to get another device since I had the protection from Sprint.
TWRP will not mount any storage.

Depends on your firmware. Are you on the full 3.16 which is the latest?
I believe I was completely up to date before this process. Also, my touchscreen does not work. Any ideas?

Found out hard way: you can't just be on the last official RUU (3.14.605.12) to get the new update from Verizon.
ALSO dammit you have to have previously taken the small February update to 3.14.605.13. The update's name mentions
605.13 in its title. The problem is that you can't get that little update anymore!!!!
Those of us with only 605.12 may have to wait until the next RUU is issued. Gripes me.
You realise someone posted the full ruu zip in this thread. You don't have to get it from software update thing

In February, Flyhalf205 uploaded the 605.13 OTA.zip in another thread.
The one I could not find anywhere.
You take that little one, rename it update.zip, and flash in hboot.
Do a factory reset and it'll boot up.
Then you can get the current OTA from Verizon.

I was on 605.13 stock ICS, rooted and with Amon Ra recovery. I grabbed the 605.12 recover and flashed it and relocked the boot loader. I have tried multiple times to run the OTA (both pulling from Verizon and by putting it on the SD card). It keeps failing with the same 'Wrong Task ID' error mentioned by OP. I even wiped the SD Card, did clear storage from stock recovery, a couple of factory resets to no avail.
Can someone help? Is it possible that the 605.13 OTA a month or so ago didn't install properly since I had Amon Ra. In Software it shows I am at 605.13 so I doubt that. But would you suggest running the 605.13 Update.zip manually and then try to pull the OTA?

You will need to relock the bootloader then run the 605.12 RUU and let that boot up and not modify anything then you will get the 605.13 update first and then the latest after that, that is how I got the update and had no problems at all.

Thanks, I'll try this out right now.
Edit: I ended up flashing with fastboot, then installing an older version of the ROM, then installing recovery from the app and only THEN the ROM version I wanted. Apparently the latest version required the most recent 4ext, I'm dazed and confused but everything is working now.
Haven't used the phone for an year or so, restoring some old SMS messages out of the nandroid backup brought up some memories. Now I'll be using it to test my mobile app. Thanks again!
now that you can boot your rom, download 4ext Recovery Updater and update to latest version of 4ext from there
