I have a Rezound on RezRom (latest). The phone is s-off... I can't believe I got through that with my old eyes and limited tech ability...
I got a new phone, and want to give the Rezound to my daughter. What would be the right thing to flash to make her stock, and able to receive updates? I don't care if the phone stays s-off or goes back to s-on-- she'll never use that feature anyhow.
I'm guessing I can just run this: RUU_Vigor_VERIZON_WWE_2.01.605.11_Radio_RS_0.95.00.1123r_3161E_9K_QMR_release_233635_signed.exe and all will be back to stock, the updates will work, the phone will be erased and probably s-on again.
If someone can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. (So would she... she's still rocking an OG droid!)
Thanks much in advance for any help!
Cheers,
SteveRN
S-OFF will remain after RUU but there's a thread about returning to S-ON but make sure it's after the RUU or you'll brick your phone beyond repair.

Running that ruu will get you completely back to stock with the exception of s-off. If you want to set it back to s-on there's simply a fast boot command you need to run. There are a few threads around here that talk about it if that's the way you want to go.

Many thanks to you all. (of course I hit the button) ;-)
I'll run the RUU and leave it S-off. As long as it's on the upgrade path I'm a happy camper... and If I ever need to flash something for her, I can.
If it breaks or anything I'll be able to s-on it I suppose, she would only send it in through me anyway... (yeesh... kids )
Still stuck trying to flash stock back to my S-Off rezound...
Uh oh. Still stuck. I run the RUU i listed above and it errors out.
I boot the phone into the latest RezRom (ics) and run the RUU; the RUU gets to the part where it says "ok, say ok to flash this" and then it comes up "unknown error".
Am I supposed to start this up while the phone is in recovery? or is there a zip I can flash like a ph98img.zip that would take me to stock, even if it's s-off stock?
Argh.
RezRom still boots up fine. I can reboot into TWRP as well.
Help! (I need a clue....)
try preforming a factory reset in bootloader then try the ruu again

Thanks bud... that didn't work either.
When I run adb devices, I see the rezound listed... I'm still thinking there is a zip i could flash from twrp, but I don't know where to find a stock zip that I could rename to ph98img.zip for that.
I am a bit mystified why the RUU won't run.
the hboot is 2.25, could that be it?

Does it say unlocked at the top by any chance? In hboot that is?
If so you run, "fastboot OEM lock" while in fastboot. Then run the ruu.

What ended up working was booting the phone into fastboot and then running the RUU. I didn't know you had to do that.... I don't know if I was just clueless on this one or if things are different with an S-Off phone.
Thanks, Dr. No

glad it worked out, second recommendation was going to be pulling the rom.zip file from the ruu.exe and running that through hboot itself.
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.

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.

Tampered is normal. Did you try flashing it with a ph98img, or as an .exe
It happens after you unlock and install a custom recovery I believe. Are you re-locked when you try to ruu?

just run the latest ruu in hboot if you are s-off it will make the phone like it was from factory.
if you are s-on but unlocked you will need to do the "fastboot oem lock" then runn the ruu.
in both cases the ruu will nuke the internal storage. first pass with install a new hboot and stock recovery along with 2 other items, then the phone will reboot into fastboot and install the rest. i recommend that you have a 60% or more battery life.

Yeah I already got it up n running...between being unlocked and having a slightly dead battery I wasn't even being given the option to run an ruu...its running now but I still need to do s-off again, and of course my sd card is corrupted so ill work on that tonight
The same thing happened to me, glad I found your thread! Were you trying to s-off on the official ICS? That's what I was trying. I ran the .12 RUU and had unlocked, rooted and was trying to get S-off. I did the wire trick I was getting an HTC logo instead of Jbear logo. Right now I just relocked and it's running the RUU so I hope I can get back up and running.
I guess I should have just S-offed before running the ICS RUU
Edit: I am back up and running!

Hey, I didn't have to do this, but if you noticed, controlbear makes backup copies of stuff like boot.img (forget what else) and puts them on your computer. If you crap out you ought to be able to fastboot flash boot [bootimgfilename.img] and be able to boot up your phone. I saw where one person did this to get going again after a failed soff.
Yeah well happened in my case is that I was already s-offed and then I flashed the ruu to go back to stock...then I relocked my phone cuz I'm having an issue with one of the pins on phone (the terminal that connects to battery).so I was gonna get it exchanged, I wanted it to look absolutely stock...so the "relocked" status wasn't good enough, so someone suggested doing s-off again so it will show locked in hboot...well that's where everything went wrong, the phone froze at the wire trick and then the entire memory card was corrupted which is normal...so when I went to redo the whole s-off procedure again I kept rebooting into the blank screen with the arrow...could not get past that, so I resorted to putting my real sd card in...I had no backups for that card cuz that one has my actual personal stuff so I figures it'd be ok since I used a spare to do s-off anyway...well upon powering on the phone it was also corrupted...so Ive actually given up on s-off and getting my phone restored and replaced for a while...I don't know why s-off has always given me problems I've watched and read every vid or post about s-off and am in no way tech illiterate but I've always had problems with s-off (i lost all my pics and documents the first time I did s-off even thought I backed everything up cuz the only way to get it right was to eliminate every file in the folder and rerun it again cuz it didn't back up my sd correctly If at all)...its beyond infuriating
well that didnt last long...i just unlocked and s-offed my phone again, only to be returned to s-on and fully locked (indistinguishable from brand new in box), as i originally intended...im gonna miss this particular phone but it has to be done
Hello, I desperately would like to see how to put my HTC Amaze back to stock. A couple of months ago I tried putting it back to stock because the energy rom kept rebooting on me and draining my battery life randomly. Anyways I was not successful and so I just kept the rom and the rebooting problems stopped anyways. Now, its happening again and I would really love for some one to help me get it back to stock so I can see if it improves and maybe get the thing S-OFF later. I am with Wind mobile.
Any help is greatly appreciated,

well S-Off worked so thats good haha. Now i am trying to super CID. However, when uploading the proper hboot for doing so it wont let me because of the CID.
Ignore that last post. I figured it out so all is good. Now here is another question, should i flash CM10.1 or your rom that viper one? How would I go about flashing a rom. I remembered before you would just go into recovery and then format all execpt sd card and then install from zip. I tried that with the CM10.1 rom and when I rebooted it did not work.
went ahead and tried installing the Viper rom and after i reboot (when it said all was good) it show a black screen with green arrows. And its stuck on that. I do not know what to do now. Because I should have everything open. Was I supposed to flash something after doing the S-OFF?
This is what I am getting stuck on. I tried another rom too, same thing. I can boot into 4ext. But cant get past this on boot up.

Before I hard brick my phone, I'm hoping someone can help me get back to an RUU.
I was unlocked and running a custom ROM, but was having some video problems. I was on the HBOOT 2.28 Global ICS FW. I did the JuopunutBear S-off last night, so that I could run an RUU and go back to a stock Firmware. I got S-Off, and flashed back to a GB RUU, RUU_Vigor_VERIZON_WWE_1.00.605.3_Radio_RS_0.93.00.0914r_3161C1_9K_NV_8k_1.12_9k_1.83_V_APT_release_216261_signed.exe
The RUU completed fine, and I was able to boot into the stock RUU GB. I decided to S-on again, because I was hoping to start getting the OTA updates. After I went S-on again, I couldn't get it to find any OTA updates available.
I thought maybe it was too old of an RUU, so I tried running a newer one like RUU_Vigor_VERIZON_WWE_1.02.605.6_Radio_RS_0.95.00.1013r_3161E_9K_NV_8k_1.12_9k_1.83_V_APT_release_221502_signed.zip
RUU_Vigor_VERIZON_WWE_2.01.605.11_Radio_RS_0.95.00.1123r_3161E_9K_QMR_release_233635_signed.exe
I couldn't get either one to run. I thought maybe it was because I wasn't S-off anymore, so I unlocked again and tried to re-run control bear. S-off kept failing, and then realized I had forgotten to root my device. Now, when I power on, I get the HBOOT screen, and then tries to load the Juopunut screen and just sits there.
I can get to the SD card using a USB card reader, and I can get into HBOOT.
HBOOT shows version 2.05.0000 S-on unlocked eMMC-boot but doesn't show any radio versions?
Not sure, what to do now?
Why on earth would you have gone back to GB?
Also, Son or Soff is irrelevant to OTA updates if your stock.
I would get the last official RUU, 3.14.605.12 and load that... You should be able to then OTA to current. Or just Soff again, flash radios and hboot, and a stock ROM image.

Can you tell me how to get that to install from where I'm at now?

Basically, download the RUU file, rename to PH98IMG.zip, copy to SD Card, boot into H-Boot, the system will detect the update file, confirm the load, and the rest is automatic but be patient, it will reboot several times... even after it comes up give it 15 minutes to settle down before doing anything crazy

Awesome, glad you got it working... now be patient, it should update in a few steps, first to 3.14.605.13, then after that is up and working it should upgrade to 4.5.605.14. Sometimes this can take a few days to occur. If it doesn't, you will need to S-OFF again and manually flash the hboot/radios and ROM.

Like ace said, probably too old... probably don't even host the update on vzw's servers anymore. Generally, from what I understand, as long as you don't S-ON while on jp's hboot or some other hboot, you should be able to recover. ONLY S-ON if you are on a booting stock hboot and rom (RUU is safest).
It's pretty hard to hard brick other than that (afaik).
