Hi,
I have an unlocked Rezound that will boot to the hboot screen and fastboot one time and then I have no control over anything. I tether it to the computer but it does not find the device. If I try Fastboot or Recovery or any of the options, nothing happens.
Any ideas?
Garry
Maybe a dumb question but do you have the correct driver installed on your computer? Have you used ADB before without issues?
Please clarify a bit can you access recovery, can you use adb?

Yes, not at all dumb. I was using it all day before it bricked.
Try reflashing a recovery in boot ....if you can access hboot you're not bricked

Sure, I can not access recovery and ADB does not recognize my phone when I plug it in. I can reboot to Hboot, it runs Hboot once - goes through the fastboot and then it does nothing. I try recovery or fastboot or any other option and nothing happens. It is dead.
blah i've seen this problem before...think it's a hardware failure

I'm not too sure. Happened when I was trying to go back to GB. I hadn't flashed the ICS Firmware but was on an ICS ROM and tried going back. Boinked my phone the same way his/hers. I couldn't use ADB, recovery, etc.
Dumb idea (but better than nothing) did youtry to reinstall the drivers?

I can get in Hboot and it goes through the initial fastboot and then I have no control. How do I flash recovery in boot?
Just rename a recovery.IMG to the p98img file name, load it onto your sd card and boot into hboot.

Is that a stock rom image? Or a Clean Rom image or the recovery-ra? Thank you in advance.

I think he is suggesting that you reinstall AmonRa recovery (not a ROM) using the PH98img. ...my $.02

last thing you could try is to find one of the complete stock RUUs in ph98img.zip form and see if that will install.
I had that happen and it kept failing to install, throwing partition errors. Guessing all the flashing killed the nand memory. Verizon sent me a replacement overnight.

This happened to me when I failed to get S-OFF (I screwed up the wire trick terribly), and I was unable to recover. Once the battery died, the phone was done, since it needs software to use the charger. I was able to jury-rig my old DINC battery to try a few more times, but I ended up exchanging it, telling Verizon it just died and they accepted it as DOA. Of course I bricked it the same night FedEx delivered it so I was able to do a return w/out warranty issues being part of it.

Download that file. Rename it by removing the "TWRP-" in the file name and then place it on the root of your SD card. And reboot into hboot. If that does nothing I'll be shocked.

I'm fairly embarrassed to even have put myself into this situation, mainly because I have no idea how I did it, and even less of one how to fix it.
My issue is this: I went ahead and unlocked the BL on the Rezound today, and then installed CWM Touch recovery (first). After that I went and installed CleanROM. Did the update in HBOOT like it told me to. No problem. After setting up the Rezound again, I loaded some music onto my memory card, and then noticed nothing showed up (media), so I decided to reset the phone. I used the power button to do so. So the phone rebooted.
Then it just sat on the HTC screen, which it now continues to do.
So what I have done is this:
Tried to reflash the ROM (no luck)
Tried using Amon Ra recovery instead (all I get is a black screen, but I know it is "working" because I hear my computer connect to it)
Tried flashing a different ROM (nothing)
Tried using the PH file from CleanROM to see if it would boot up (nope)
So now I'm stuck, and I have no idea what happened!
Can anyone help, or is this thing toast?
It's worth noting that the only recovery that seems to work is CWM (touch or not), Amon Ra won't display anything on the screen (both 3.14 and 3.13). Also that when it turns on the HTC comes up, then disappears and comes up again.
I have been searching and trying things for about two hours now, so at this point I'm ready to chuck it in the trash.
Edit, nevermind read that wrong, it isn't in a bootloop.
Try to flash the kernel from fastboot and see if that helps.

Did you delete the PH98IMG from the SD card?

Yup, that's the only way I can get into recovery. It just tries to install it again and again if I don't.
My SD card has the CleanROM and the Stock Rooted Rom on it, nothing else.
Push the kernel through fastboot.

No dice. But I will try to install the ROM again, and then manually push the kernel rather than doing it on the phone.

The phone doesn't need to be booted fully to run the RUU? I was going to run the .exe one and it said it needed to be on.
I'll try that, nothing else has worked.
Sounds like you need to push the boot.img using fastboot. If you dont have fastboot and all that installed you can get it from CleanFLASH 1.0. You need to make sure you have the correct boot.img or it will continue to be stuck. Also flashing it through hboot sometimes just doesn't work. Thats why you need to push it via fastboot.
Clean flash HERE
Just put the attached boot.img into the cleanboot folder. Open a command prompt into that folder. Put the phone in hboot and fastboot USB run the following command in the command prompt: fastboot flash boot boot.img
Note you must have the HTC drivers installed for fastboot to work.

Excellent, I'm pretty sure I ran the RUU without ever booting into the phone. Just make sure you have 2.01.605.11 because the older one wouldn't work. Thats if you can't get it to boot up flashing the boot.img.

Hmmm, mine does not do that.
So maybe that is the problem. I'm gonna restart my computer, now that HTC Sync has installed. Are all HTC Drivers the same? I had Sync installed from when I had an Inspire 4G, but maybe the drivers for the Rezound are different.
This could be my problem.

I just recently switched back from the leaked Ice Cream Sandwich RUU by changing the main ver and uploaded the oldest ruu (1.02 etc) and was going to just update through OTA to the latest version of the htc Rezound. I the found out that when I tried to update it, recovery (amon ra recovery) was still present and it tried updating through that, which failed. Can anyone help me out with removing recovery?
in order to ruu, you need to install stock recovery which amonra recovery will be removed as well. download: http://db.tt/tw5m33ZG

i use cleanflash 1.0 for boot.img and recovery.img.
http://www.scottsroms.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=57
or use adb and flash using this command "fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img"
if you are using cleanflash 1.0, after downloading the stock recovery,
unzip then put the img file in the same folder as the tool the rename it to "recovery.img"
then use the tool and flash
make sure usb debugging is enabled, usb mode is on charging and htc sync on your computer is disabled before using the tool!!!!

There's a guide in the development section that can get you to switch your main ver to whatever number you want. I put it a 1.00.000.00 and then it automatically switched to the first main ver (when the htc rezound was officially released). Now I've got a problem because my phone won't read my sd card (even though it's working, i plugged it into the computer and it worked), it won't let me flash any RUUs in bootloader, every time i try to turn the phone on it goes straight to fastboot so I can't even access the phone, and where it should say locked or unlocked (in fastboot/bootloader) it has 3 lines that look like this:
***TAMPERED***
***RELOCKED***
***SECURITY WARNING***
Also, I was using the original stock rom for a couple of days before this happend, so that part was working fine. But Ive never experienced this before and this is my third or fourth time going through this exact same process.
Edit: I also forgot to mention that the recovery is now stock recovery again, as you could probably tell, it's relocked, I'm pretty sure it's unrooted, but I can't tell, and lastly, after multiple tires, I could not get the OTA update to work at all. I kept getting error/fail messages.
A couple of things. First you can't ruu back. Your hboot was updated. Second that TAMPERED message tells me that are not on the stock recovery, it only says that when a non stock recovery is installed. If you are just looking to get GB back on the phone, I made a guide in the general section. Search for "how to go back to GB from leaked ICS.

Now it won't let me get into recovery because it keeps trying to update the the software from OTA but that fails and then it gets stuck at phone with a red triangle infront/ontop of it.
Edit: I actually realized it was doing that because the recovery still wasn't there, so i went back to the command prompt and looked and saw that it said that flashing the recovery had failed. so then I went and got the newer amon ra recovery and tried flashing that, still said it failed and still wasn't there.

I managed to soft brick my phone or i believe so. I unlocked the bootloader, flashed cwm to the phone, rooted then read that it fails alot with the rezound so i prepped my phone to unroot and remove cwm and install Amon Ra and nodded off to sleep while in the recovery menu... This is where it gets weird... I woke up to my phone like this. I uploaded a picture of the bootloader screen... Its relocked and will not allow me to do jack... Im not the best at development and relatively inexperienced... I desperately need help. Please.
Well you have hboot so its not bricked. I would pull the battery and then make sure you don't have a ph98img.zip in root of sd. Then put battery back in and see what happens.

Have it named PH98IMG.zip(watch your filenames, be careful not to name it PH98IMG.zip.zip). But first try reunlocking again and see if you get boot. If you at least get boot animation that tells me you have a working boot partition. If not then you would need to reflash a boot.img. If you are adamant about gaining root, you could have just flashed a custom rom after flashing Amon RA + a data wipe along with proper boot.img in fastboot.

Simple steps I used when I was in an HTC boot loop.
1. Relocked and installed the stock ruu.
2. Unlocked and flashed the recovery partition using fast boot flash recovery recovery.img (name of your recovery image you want to use.)
3. Used recovery to install su.
4. Profit.
You can also use fast boot to install asop boot images. But for now if you want root use steps 1-4. It worked for me when I borked the heck out of entire phone. ( I had no recovery even after fastboot flashing the recovery partition.)

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.

Could you kindly provide me a link to the right topic. Do you think my phone is beyond repair ? Have I bricked it ?
I am running 4.0.3 ICS on Sense 3.6
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1902381
You are far FAR from being bricked. Softbricked yes, hardbricked no.

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:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ull-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/
That's global too, which seems to be what you'll need.

The bootloader screen says S-On. On top it says ***Tampered*** and below it ***UNLOCKED***.

Yes I rooted from a tool I found on android market. Noob me. So I do not have a recovery. I had downloaded the PH98IMG.zip and put it in my sd card and tried. The recovery starts and then shows a red exclamation and then nothing happens.
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.

What you'll have to do is relock your boot loader, flash the RUU and then unlock again. From there you should be able to flash a recovery and flash a rom.

Are you trying with the stock ROM ? If ure saving stock ROM as PH98IMG.zip, then try PH98IMG without the .zip typed in.

You can reboot your phone once you're done and delete the file with a file manager. The only issue you'll have is if you reboot the bootloader.

Why not use GooManager? It will correctly install the Recovery Image for you. I can see that you want to push it via command but GooManager is excellent. Just another option, good luck. :good:
