yup. pick 32 or 64 bit and then, once you figure out your hboot, put the number in the V.VV in the final command.
also, it supports 2.21 and 2.25 hboot's. ill support the 2.27 when there is a JB/eng version

This looks fun! I'm going to try it as my last ditch effort to revive my phone.
My phone was on GB (was running what's listed in my sig). I don't know what my hboot was, I got the first GB OTA. Now, my phone was working fine until a few days after the ICS release. It rebooted itself and never came to life, but I think the battery was dead too. From what I've read I shouldn't have been able to take the OTA but I find the timing suspicious, and I have tried everything related to dead battery reviving that I have found and there is still no life. At all. So I think maybe I had some sort of interrupted OTA?
Questions:
- I do not have a linux box. I have Vista and tomorrow my new laptop with Win 7 is shipping. Does it matter which OS I use if I use the Live CD? I have one I grabbed at least a couple years ago, do I need to get a new one? Not sure if the new laptop with Win 7 will still have usb 2.0. I also have a Mac desktop running Snow Leopard.
- Does the RUU I use depend on the hboot version I determine or should I just go to the latest ICS RUU?
TIA

I would recommend using Ubuntu 12.04.
You should probably use the official ICS OTA, which is the 3.14.605.12 RUU.
You can't upgrade directly the latest update from Gingerbread.

EDIT: If it still has the 2.21 hboot I think you have to run the gb ruu.

The ruu should be the same. As for Linux you can run a live CD. Should work since the files are like 30mb
Edit: oh yeah. One of the commands tells you what hboot your on if you don't know / remember

If my hboot is 2.11 will this still work or is it only for 2.21 or 2.25?

Well this didn't turn out to be as fun as I thought it would be.

Any hope for Hboot 2.27?
I am needing these instructions because my device will not get past the 4G boot animation after updating to the global roaming update (4.03.605.1). I was previously on 3.14.605.10. I had tried to update to 3.14.605.12 but I couldn't so I thought it would be ok to skip it and go straight to the global roaming update. Apparently I was wrong. Up to that point I was still locked. Now, in my meager efforts to repair, I have unlocked and flashed a custom recovery using hansoon's all in one tool, simply because it seemed like all roads to recovery pointed in that direction. But that's where it all stops. I cannot find any way to flash a stock ROM while on an unlocked bootloader. I simply want this phone to be exactly how it would be if someone were to pick it up from a Verizon store (except with having a re-locked bootloader rather than locked). This route seems like my best bet except for the fact that I'm on Hboot 2.27 now with and this process only seems to work up through 2.25. Are there any things I can do to make this work?

This new app for sensation/e3d etc. got me thinking. It is for devices that have S-ON but are unlocked. I believe I can fix all of our boot image installing woes with the process this app outlined. Once I finish my physics homework, I am going to get some scripts cooking and I think we can have roms install the boot images from recovery.

What I don't get is why the devs can't just agree en masse which mainver they're going to use, and then everyone uses that version.
Well they shouldn't use one higher than the RUUs we have so we can restore if necessary. I have had to RUU before because I corrupted my cache partition once.
But some devs used the ICS leak mainver and some people were idiots and installed the leak before it was ready and got their mainvers higher than what we have RUUs for.

That's one of the reasons I wait a day or so to flash a new ROM if it just getting released. I always wait to see what the problems are first.
I just check it first and replace the android-info as needed. I am still on the 1.x mainver because I am careful and I was one of the first to flash the ICS leaks

I didn't know about the entire mainver thing until the leak came out. I'm new to HTC phones and stuff. But I'm on the 2.x mainver just because I forgot to change it the other day when I was in a flash frenzy. Oh well
u can roll it back if you want

This will be great once you get it running.
I'm curious what the reason is that you want to remain on 1.x when the official update brought the phone to 2.x? I'm on 2.x but running a ROM from 1.x even though they just came out with an update for 2.x because I want to keep the red theme made for it.
Btw... the dsb kernel was installed in recovery, like the AnthraX one is. Flashed a zip in recovery that made the PHzip that flashed as an update. Is this different than that?
I haven't flashed the new radios and stuff.

It isn't that crazy or that dangerous. I have flashed my misc a few times when I was seeing if I could hex edit the CID to HTC__001 instead of VZW__001 which would have allowed HTC dev unlock before we got their blessing.

Ok, silly questions, unlocked, s-off now ready to flash

Ok I'm all set now, I got everything flashed, but now I sill have question.
I started with the ENG H boot then I wen to the safer hacked one.
I'm looking for ROMS now and they have a PH98IMG file. Is that the kernel or updated firmware? I wouldn't want to flash different firmware right?
also what about the old firmware patch for ICS roms?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614180
Do I need to be using that as Im still on the GM H boot?
and finally what about mainver errors? since Im s off will that still warn me?
I just want to be careful not to do anything I shouldn't now that most of the safety nets are gone.
Also sorry of my questions are silly, its late at work and I've been starting at this screen all day. Its time to go.
thanks

ROMs generally will never have firmware present unless it specifically states otherwise (perhaps somebody will release one after an OTA if there's a new firmware update). Prior to last week, we all had S-ON (well most of us) so all ROMs came with a script that would dump the boot.img (kernel and RAMdisk) into a PH98IMG.zip, then reboot to bootloader so you can flash it.
Use the old firmware patch for ICS ROMs only if you are on HBOOT 2.11 or lower.
I'm not sure about mainver issues... I don't think they matter now... but if you do get that error there's a simple fix thats been around for awhile.
I am on 2.11 so I would need the patch. Is it ok to use even it I'm not on am ics Rom, should I flash it just in case or wait until I need it.
Yeah I was kinda thinking the same thing about the mainver. Not sure either though

The patch is apart of the system so you only flash it when you are going to run a ics Rom based on the ics firmware. You already have the patch files in the Rom you are running if its GB. But when you flash a new Rom the system is wiped which is why you need to flash the patch. I hope I explained that ok.

I understand, its ok. You right though dont know what I was thinking, of course the system gets wiped.
Im debating which ROM to run now. I was going to go with one of the BAMFs, but I also would mind a senseless ROM either.
Is it wrong that I actually kinda like Sense, I just wish it didnt bog the phone at times.
Also I thinking its probably best to say on the 2.11 firmware, that way I can still run GB if I want and go to ICS ROMS too if I want with the patch.
I like sense too especially since this is my first HTC phone so its something different for me. I had Motorola's in the past. I'm on GB firmware with the eng hboot and running ics Clean Rom.
Sent from my HTC Vigor
Well Sense is certainly an upgrade for me from TouchWiz....I miss a few things but overall it is better...
I think you would be happy with CleanROM, extremely fast and reliable ICS build. You would never know it wasn't stock.

Not sure about MT4G, but I don't think the control bear program can access everything it needs on the Rezound without being unlocked. Just a guess mind you .

You have to be rooted to acquire s-off. Up until this point you had to be unlocked to acquire root. Now, if you are s-off you can root without unlocking. It's a vicious circle! Lol!

juopunutbear s-off version ?

So I want to finally make the jump to S-Off. I am unlocked, rooted, and running an older version of CleanROM Dev edit. and did flash an older RUU leak before that. I thought that since I am not totally sure what leak I am on that I would just re-lock and flash the latest and S-Off from there. But when I went to the download site it doesn't have a download for the newest leak. does it matter which on we run as long as its on Windows? What would be the recommended route from here?

I s offed on the 3.14.605.10 leak worked fine I believe it's controlbear 0.6 ics version. Oh and my advice is get a metronome and set it for 1.75 second intervals to get the timing right on the wire trick. I used it and got it the first try. I and you must use an insulated stiff wire I recommend a wire from a cat5/6 ethernet cable

I also uploaded a 1.75 second loop track since you can't very well run a metronome app on your phone while it's rebooting..... See this thread for link. It's near the bottom of the OP.

Personally I am thankful for both of you. I downloaded the HTC hosted RUU and flashed my phone while waiting on the decrypted version to finish downloading so I could play with it.
I've never had much luck with dev-host downloading quickly.
Any chance we could see a clean Rom released on this base? Some of us are required to stay on stock att bases.

One thing that this base has, where the international does not.... is the Amber/Emergency Alert System.
While I can see how a lot of people would be happy about that, other people would like to be part of the alert system for various reasons.
I know in my area, everyones phones have been going off lately with amber alerts, and was wondering why mine was silent. I'm assuming it has to do with the international rom I'm running on cleanrom 4.0.
anyone have any issues running this RUU?

I'm not sure what you are talking about. Their site is not always down and it works just fine. At least 5 verified now in two days and you don't have to worry about bricking your phone with the wire trick.
Maybe you should keep Rumrunner out of your s-off thread if you think it is no good.
