Cannot unlock eBay Rezound - HTC Rezound

I purchased a Rezound from eBay and it's locked with a gesture lock. The seller told me to do a factory reset, which I did a couple of times, and it doesn't reset the phone to the new activation screen. It looks like he rooted the phone at one point. The recovery screen says "Tampered," "Relocked," and "VIGOR PVT SHIP S-ON RL."
My question is, how do I get past the gesture lock? Will rooting and flashing a different rom do the trick? I am obviously a newbie, and likely wouldn't have rooted it and installed a custom rom if I didn't have to, but it seems like I may have to at this point. Thanks!

Flash a custom recovery and wipe if you want the stock Rom.rooted
Or you can just ruu to stock and it will wipe it

Thanks for the advice. I used the Rezound All in One kit and got it working. I'll leave it rooted for now, maybe install ICS on it.

Deff go for ICS, i'd even recommend stepping up to Sense 4 but you might prefer stock

Sense 4.0 still has a few bugs, but 3.6 is golden.

Obviously the first thing that comes to mind is if all it needed was to have a factory reset done why didn't the seller do just that and avoid the hassle? Kinda like when you look at a car and all it needs for the AC to work is a recharge..yeah I've been bit by that one before too.
Glad you got it working..youll enjoy being rooted

Looks like it isn't entirely right. I took it to Verizon to get it activated, and I have data connectivity but cannot call or text at all. The software version is 4.0.3 Android with 3.6 Sense. I am going to try to restore the factory version (from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1338916) and hope that does the trick. Otherwise, I guess there's something wrong and I have to return the phone to the seller.

You wont be able to run that RUU. You are s-on and cannot go backwards in RUU you can only go forward. Either s-off or you'll need to flash the latest ICS RUU leak.

Gotcha. Thanks. I'll try to sort out how to download the newest ICS RUU and flash it. I tried to follow these directions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614366
and downloaded [ICS][2.25][STOCK][5-7]PH98IMG.zip but I wasn't able to flash it. I guess I have to figure out which ICS RUU to download and flash.
I still don't understand why I have data but no call or text capability.

Download that file, rename it PH98IMG.ZIP and make sure it isn't named PH98IMG.ZIP.ZIP and then put that on the root of the actual SD Card. Not the internal memory.
Reboot into hboot, and it will find that file and load it. You will have to chose volume + to accept. It will flash bootloader first, then the radios and rom and such. After this has flashed and booted, delete the PH98IMG.ZIP file from your sd card, and then reboot into hboot and chose factory reset. Let it do its thing, and try a phone call or text on reboot.
should be good to go after this.

I downloaded the file, put it in the root directory of the sd card, and booted into hboot. It says "Loading PH98IMG.zip" for a few minutes, then goes back to the hboot screen. I then powered down, removed SD card, and tried to factory reset. The phone entered the Android system recovery. I rebooted, and the phone seemed exactly the same. I'll retry, maybe I'm doing something wrong.
Update: I've retried a few times, and it just seems that hboot won't load PH98IMG.zip. Might it matter that I'm still at S-ON?

Try redownloading again might have been a bad download. Remember once the file starts to flash it might shut off and turn on and continue doing its thing just make sure when it's all done every item says "ok" next to it if it does your good to go next just make sure you go into bootloader do a factory reset.

SD does not mount automatically

I have seen others mentioning this but not resolution for just the Rezound. I have the new firmware, S-Off, and have run various stock ICS ROMs and after every reboot, I have to manually mount my SD card. Does anyone have a fix for this? Do I have to reload a RUU, unlock the bootloader, etc all over again?
Try formatting the card in the phone. Backup your data first.
I have this same problem, the weird thing is it sometimes mounts automatically and sometimes doesn't. Haven't found a fix, but used to have a widget that would do it just can't find.d it now.

I guess at this point, you might as well run the RUU. Not that big of a deal. DON'T unlock the bootloader, you're s-off, right? So put the RUU named ph98img on the SD card and let it go. Also, go ahead and do a factory reset before you put AmonRA on.....
Question: What did you run to get the latest firmware..?

I'm pretty sure to you have to lock the bootloader to run the RUU. Maybe someone else can chime in here.... Or you could try...
If you lock it...don't unlock again... NO need to be unlocked if s-off.
AFter you flash the RUU, boot into hboot and do a factory reset with the stock recovery....then go ahead and flash Amon.

Need some help with new Rezound

I received a replacement Rezound today and have messed it up beyond my repair. When I powered the new phone on it was on the old GB software. I manually searched for an update which was finally found. I downloaded the update and went through the process of installing it. About half way through the update, a red triangle with an exclamation point appeard. I tried this process twice and then decided to run the RUU that I had installed on my sd card from my prior phone. The RUU was the most recent ICS.
At this point I was not S-off or rooted, but completly stock. The RUU did not fully run but it did update my HBOOT and Radio's. When I boot the phone, it is still on GB software. I have some how changed my bootloader to show Tampered as well.
I was able to flash a zip file of AmonRa 3.15 and was able to flash ViperRom 1.03. I thought this would correct the problems and allow me to S-Off but it did not.
I thought that if I could S-off I could maybe get this all straight. But I am not sure.
At this point, I have a phone that reboots after a few short minutes.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!

If it tanked doing the OTA ICS update right out of the box, I'd call VZW for another phone...
Thank you for the reply, but my hboot now says tampered and relocked. I do not think I could send the phone back in this condition and get a new one.
Anyone else have any ideas?
Un-lock using HTC unlock then s-off your phone using some wire tied to a couple thumb tacks. Run latest ruu again, then install recovery, then flash Rom.

[Q] Rezound Stuck At Lock Screen

Hi,
I am new here and this is my first post so forgive me if starting a new thread for this topic was wrong but I found my own situation slightly different from the others here who had the same problem.
I have a gsm unlocked rezound and was trying to get rid of the unknown sim error message at lock screen. I followed the steps mentioned on this thread --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1882355. I rooted the phone, downloaded the apk. Deleted the .odex file and replaced the existing apk with the downloaded one and rebooted. Now, I am stuck at the lock screen with no icons. But for the other people who faced similiar issue, they were able to open the home screen. I can't. I can see pop ups for sms/mail. I get ring when a call comes in but I cant pick. I tried hard reset. Tried booting without sim/sd card. Still no luck. I tried connecting the phone to my pc but now my pc wont recognise the phone when its connected. I can see icon on top of the phone which says USB connected and I also see sync icon, but it will not go any further. I dont know how to get into the phone's menu now.
I may have bitten more than I can chew, silly me :crying:
If you guys can help me in any way, I would appreciate that a lot.
OS : 4.0.3 ICS Running HTC Sense 3.6.
A quick fix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2017932
Flash my debloater, choosing the Sense option(will be brought to a widget removal screen if you don' use them all) & AOSP lockscreen. Disadvantage to that though, you will have to unlock to see the caller id when it rings.

Thank you for the quick response. I have downloaded the file. I know this sounds stupid but I am a real rookie. I don't know how to do the flashing or how to get to the AOSP lock screen. If you could guide me through the process or maybe give me a link where I can learn it myself, it would be great.
Essentially since you already have rooted, you will(should) also have a custom recovery (TWRP, AmonRa, CWM). Install it as you would a regular rom but without any wipes until after flash of the zip. Dependent on which recovery you will want to look up their FAQ/QnA on how to wipe dalvik/cache.
Once you get inside the script, you will see what I meant by "Choose Sense & AOSP Lockscreen".

Yes the phone was rooted, but I used a rooting software from google apps from the phone. After I downloaded that app, it rooted the phone and brought in an extra icon. I remember it as SU root something, but I didnt do it from the pc. So I dont have any recovery on the pc. I used to sync the phone with htc sync. Unfortunately, right now, my pc wont recognise the phone. I tried root explorer for android from pc, it wont recognise the device. HTC sync too will not. But my phone seems to know when a USB is connected, it brings the usb icon on top but thats about it. ((
Ok, best suggestion at this point is to follow the instruction in the OP for installing TWRP in the Rezound development section.

Thank you for the help buddy. I am glad you said its not. I dont know what I would have done if it had. This is my first android phone and I took it a week back. I was beginning to miss my iPhone . Unfortunately the link you provided wont help me because I have no way of restarting phone other than by removing battery. Even when in fastboot, the pc does not recognise the device even when device shows fastboot usb. I doubt if I can get past step 1 in that link.
I found that I am on Vigor H Boot 2.27.000 and Radio 2.22.10.0803r with S-ON. I tried to turn S-Off after reading and educating myself on android from this forum till now. But even to S-Off, I need to be able to enable USB in debug mode which I am not able to. Any suggestions ?
Device still not fixed
hi,
I took the phone to a couple of places to check if it can be fixed, No one was able to fix it thus far, Any other advice or suggestions to fix this would be great. Any admins/mods have something to add ? Please, I am desperate to fix this phone. Anyway of doing this ?
Have you tried flashing a different rom?
If he's S-on and locked, he can simply flash the latest RUU can't he(just to get the phone working again). From there someone can help him set up adb, and s-off.

From what they posted, somehow they don't have a custom recovery even though they are rooted?
Can you put a PH98IMG.zip file of a recovery (either Amon Ra or TWRP) on your SD card and flash it in hboot? Then flash a custom ROM the same way from recovery.
You can take the SD card out and mount it on your pc and use your pc to copy over the recovery PH98IMG.zip file.
And oh yeah, I see what Obaterista... was saying. You should be able to flash the latest RUU from hboot. Here's a link for it:

I was just trying different pages for help. Someone has mentioned that I should add the PH98IMG.zip as just PH98IMG and I shud not add the .zip. Thats the only thing left to try. I will post what happens when I do that.

I am no expert to give u any suggestions but maybe if you could explain how it got bricked in the first place, someone might be able to give u a better solution mate.

[Q] What have i done? Can only get in bootloader...

Sooo, playing with rooting, been rooted for a couple days, flashed viperlte rom and had problems and decided to take it back to stock for now. Gonna be on the road and can't be 'experimenting'...attempted to go back to stock, by using the original RUU, and as I understood it, I needed to lock the phone back first. Didn't make sense as I was wondering how I could flash a Rom if it was locked back. After locking, when trying to go to recovery, it just comes back to fastboot. I can't get into the main phone--it boots to a screen, but no buttons work, although if i press volume up/down it shows it on the screen. What have I done?! I'll admit being a newb to phones, so please, some guru help me get back to something
Here's what fastboot shows:
TAMPERED
RELOCKED
SECURITY WARNING
Fireball pvt ship s-on rl
Hboot 1.15
Radio 1.53
opendsp v29.1.0.45
emmc-boot
It wouldn't read either of the mini sd-cards I used after rooting, so I can't just get use my sdcard with a new or original rom. I can't get to a main phone screen to turn on usb debugging, so no adp? Any ideas?

download the ruu rename it PJ53IMG THEN transfer it to your sdcard via your computer and put back in phone and boot to bootloader, it should pick up the PJ53IMG, AND ASK YOU IF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE, hit volume up to sat yes.(put sdcard in an adapter and put in your computer to transfer) Also you want 2.17.605.2 ruu software. make sure the zip is on the root of the sdcard(not in a folder, then make sure after you transfer that the file doesn't have 2 zips on it (PJ53IMG.ZIP.ZIP)YOU WANT ONLY ONE ZIP

Thank you for the response. Tried this, it loaded the zip, then went to 'checking' and after that, back to the bootloader. Never asked me if I wanted to proceed. When rebooted it brought me back to where I was, a phone which appears to be up--clock works, wifi is on, but I can't do anything. I feel pretty confident the img is good. Thoughts?

XP PC, formatted fat32, put it on root...just tried a different ruu, searched the exact string, the 2.0... and got it from a xda forum member, so I feel confident in the ruu. It did the same thing, loaded it, checked it for about 2 mins, then returned me to the loader. I noticed SECURITY WARNING is gone from bootloader now, FYI. What else can we try?

I dunno, is there a way to do it from the bootloader? Cause I can't get to a place where I can push adp commands and I can't get to recovery...i've hosed this thing haven't I? I've got insurance, do I need to drop this thing in the sink and get another? And maybe not try rooting the next one...

Would you mind posting a link to your unlock method? The method I used the first time was using usb debugging and adp commands from windows. Can I unlock somehow from within the bootloader? Thank you very much for your help. Lol, my phone is ringing at this moment but i've got know way to answer it

Yes, I relocked from the bootloader, as I guess i misunderstood that I needed to do that before flashing the ruu...I was actually on one of the custom roms when I locked it

I CAN boot into the rom, but nothing is accessible...the phone rings if someone calls, beeps alerts for mail notification or txt, but no buttons work and screen is blank(except for wallpaper). I can see the icons connect to wifi and such, so it's working, I guess, sort of...

I can't get into recovery or use adp commands from windows, is there another way I can wipe and flash?

[Q] Stuck trying to UnRoot

I have been having the worst time trying to take my Rezound back to stock. I rooted it a long while ago and am now stuck. I was able to relock but still at s-on and I cant seem to find the right RUU exe file to load the system back to stock. Current info is as follows;
HBOOT-2.25.0000
RADIO-1.22.10.0421r/1.22.10.0424r
OpenDSP-v13.6.0.7611.00.0104
eMMC-boot
Image version 3.14.605.12
I am a complete noob so I will need as much simple directions as possible. I am desperate at this point since I cant seem to get it to reload the stock. Every time I use the RUU.exe files
RUU_VIGOR_ICS_35_S_VERIZON_WWE_3.14.605.12_Radio_RS_1.22.10.0424r_3622A_MR3_9K_release_270509_signed.exe
Found on androidfiles.org/ruu/?developer=Vigor or any of the other ones it fails. Fortunately I have not bricked the phone yet but I am running out of options since android police site has one but says not to use it : This will not work if you used the HTC Bootloader unlock tool. Your device must be fully stock with a locked bootloader or you must have S-Off (method).
Help please!!!
Try this link here http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Vigor and download the PH98IMG_ICS_3.14.605.12.zip! Do not download any others. Rename it to PH98IMG.zip and flash in bootloader. It should allow you to flash it.
If I'm incorrect on something someone plz correct it

Okay I am kinda stupid at the moment since I have fried my brain trying everything. How do I flash it? and will that brick my phone since I am S-on?

After you rename it place it on the root directory of the SD card. Then power phone off. Then press volume down + power so it boots into bootloader. There it should ask if you want to update. Tell it yes. It won't brick you as its the same s/w you seem to be on. Worst case it won't flash.
Edit: make sure you verify the md5!

What message do you get when running the RUU, also what Rom were you running prior to relocking?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
My rezound is semi-bricked currently and I am also looking to get back to stock form. I think the most current ROM that I had on it would be like Infection2.3. But I cannot seem to get past the boot animation and I believe the RUU needs to be actually booted up all the way? I will check the Hboot versions and such when I get home. (I tried a ph98img in the root but when it attempted to flash I got "HBoot version is older than expected, exiting")
Any thoughts?

Remember to flash a ph98img zip RUU, the bootloader must be relocked and internal storage will also be completely wiped. Backup the contents in recovery using usb mass storage mounts.

Sounds like all that needs done is a factory reset(wipe caches+data) and wipe system. Re-flash a Sense rom and fastboot flash the matching boot.img. Try my rom Viral OTA, just the data/system wipes prior to flashing and it willk get you back up to 100%. Rememer to reboot to bootloader if using TWRP.
