Whoops. I did the OTA without doing any research first and now I'm stuck.
I was running the stock GB ROM, rooted with HTCdev unlock, Amon Ra and S-on. I did the OTA that "Prepped" the phone for ICS today and it apparently unrooted the phone. I didn't really dig into it and just went ahead with the ICS OTA. It downloaded and I hit OK and it booted into recovery. Eventually the option to reboot presented and I chose it. Now I'm stuck at the white HTC screen.
I know I should have been paying a little more attention to what I was doing and should have done some more reading before I went ahead with the OTA.
I've done some research but haven't found any solutions that are specific to this OTA. What should I do now? Thanks in advance.

No worries. You do need to be careful but you can fix this.
First relock your bootloader in fastboot with the command: fastboot oem lock
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1810931
Download the RUU file from the android police website and rename it PH98IMG.zip and place it on the root of your external SD card (not in any folders). Reboot to bootloader and your phone will find it and apply the OTA update.
Make sure to remove it from the root directory on your SD after your phone reboots.
You'll be good to go running ICS 3.14.605.12!
EDIT: Just remembered you said you were stuck at splash screen. If you can't get past that you might need an SD card reader to do all this on a pc but its still totally doable.
Thanks, I'm downloading it now.

and...you'll have to unlock and flash Amon again..
after DL'ing the RUU, how do you put the file on your phone? im stuck on that screen and dont know how to access the phones files to put that file on the root
thanks in advance
edit: sd card reader
So there's no way of doing this without getting another SD card with the file or using SD card reader?
I wish I would have saw this before I installed a ROM hoping that would fix it. How do I get rid of the ROM now to run stock? It was Scotts Clean ROM if that matters at all

You would need to boot into fastboot, then type 'fastboot oem lock' I believe.
After that, download http://db.tt/M09JDsfq, rename it PH98IMG, place it on the root of your SD, reboot into hboot, and flash!

Fastboot is basically adb, but in bootloader.
Hopefully it flashes! If not, I really recommend S-Off over the re-lock business.

Thanks for this. I was able to get my wife's Rezound back up and working. It was previously unlocked.
Unfortunately, however, all of her apps & data were wiped. I'm not sure if this was supposed to happen with the OTA upgrade (and she says she's not really sure what it said before the upgrade), or with the method listed here, or if it was just more of whatever screwup made it freeze up at the white screen in the first place.
Whatever the cause was, I'd now like to root it so I can install Titanium Backup for her, but I can't get into the bootloader as I did before I got the ICS to load. Is there a different trick to loading it? (adb and fastboot aren't recognizing the device at this point, so that method isn't working either.

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.

Do I have to do that if my phone's already on GB?
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. What is going on with my phone?

Ok command prompt said it was a success, but nothing happened on the phone, I'm still going to infer that it was a success. Now what did the kernel update do? Will i be able to update via OTA?
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.

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.

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.
Before anyone gets mad, I know this has been posted before. But i just wanted to confirm everything before getting charged $700.
Today a new rezound came in the mail from verizon. I never ordered one, but my old one is scratched a little so whatever. I have to return it completely to stock. It's s-offed and obviously rooted and unlocked. I heard sometimes it reads relocked and sometimes locked. And i think i need it to say locked, right?
A lot of people just say to flash a stock RUU, is that really all I need to do?
Where do i start? Thank you!
mikeyk101 on droidforums says this:
"This is pretty simple. Just download the RUU for gingerbread and you can find it here: http://goo.im/stock/vigor/ruu You can either download the 2.01.606.11 zip or exe file. If you download the exe, you have to run it on your computer with the phone conected by a data cable. If you use the zip version, put that on your SD card, rename it PH98IMG.zip, restart the phone in bootloader, and let hboot install it. Once that is done, you will be back to fully stock with the exception of the S-off. To make it S-on again, you have to once again go back into bootloader but before you do, delete that PH98IMG.zip file. Then get into fastboot. Make sure that the phone is connected again to your computer by data cable. Hopefully you have a folder on your computer that has adb commands and fastboot. Open up a dos window and CD to the folder where you have the adb, fastboot, etc. Then run the following command: fastboot oem writesecureflag 3 That should be all that is needed. Then you will have a fully stock S-on phone."
Is that correct?
It's correct.. even then, they really don't care about root/unlocked bootloaders.

After it is rooted and s-offed, you can simply restore your old backup and be right back where you were before you changed phones.

PS: this post makes me a senior member
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.

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:

That's global too, which seems to be what you'll need.

Yes I have vigor, tried AmonRa, that did not work mate. It starts fastboot, gets stuck @ unpacking PH98IMG.diag and then nothing happens.

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.

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.
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...
