So I have my phone rooted. s-off with the "wire trick".
ClockworkMod installed.
Trying to use CM10 (Gangnam style). No matter what I do, I get CONSTANT reboots.
I tried doing the all the wipes (data, cache, etc....)
I got it to boot up once, for about 5 minutes. In the middle of trying to figure out why I couldn't get any service (changing the APN from what I could figure out) the phone rebooted and got stuck in its boot loop again.
No matter what I do, boot loop. Basically gets to the CM10 loading screen, loads for about 2 seconds, reboots.
Restore to my backed up file, phone works perfect.
Any suggestions?
I realize I'm a n00b here, but I've successfully rooted and ran CM10 on my Acer Iconia A500 (CM9 then up to CM10) and my brothers HP tablet (CM9) without major issues I couldn't handle. For some reason it doesn't seem anyone else has had the reboot issue with at least this specific CM10.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I hate the virgin mobile boot up screen and moreover I LOVE 4.1.2.
I also tried 4.2.2 WILD FOR THE NIGHT but I just get error Status 7. I even made sure to update my 4Ext recovery (was using clockwork recovery before), update to latest firmware. Updated to latest firmware, wiped everything but my SD card, still got Error Status 7 on 4.2.2 and constant reboot on 4.1.2. This is driving me nuts, I've searched the forum and did not find a solution so far (which is why I finally decided to sign up and become a member!!!)
By the way, im on JuopunutBear HBOOT 1.57.5757 with S-OFF.
The reason for the boot loops is your hboot version needs to be downgraded. Once thats done you'll be fine.

Downgraded to 1.4. Now I get a constant bootloop with no splash screen. Can't even do anything now because bootloader asks me every time if I want to update to the file on my SDcard
Used my old phone to take the file off the SDcard. Tried the WILD FOR THE NIGHT 4.2.2 again. Still not booting even to splash screen for CM10.
What version should I be using? So afraid I bricked my phone....
whoops!
Now I feel like a dumbass.
Downgraded to hBoot 1.4
Wiped everything.
Format everything (except SDcard).
Loaded 4.2.2.
Booted up! Thanks! Been fighting this for days!!!

This is the version of hboot that works well for me. But if you got it working you're good. No need to change. Basically after you downgrade your hboot I booted into recovery and moved the hboot zip into a different folder on my sd card. If its in the root of 5he card bootloader will keep asking... then you can flash away and delete the file as you no longer need it. Glad I was able to help. I just actually figured this out last nigth when I was playing with my old evo. I tried to flash and it boot looped so I had to do some thinking and then it occurred to me that the hboot was likely to blame.

That's a GSM hboot and the OP is on Virgin Mobile USA which is CDMA so he wouldn't want to flash that version or he could damage his phone.

Hey, I hope you guys can help me out.
I have a rezound here, that is bootlooping. It will stay booted into android for maybe 15 seconds then freezes, and reboots. I searched and saw a fix that involved changing the phone setting to CDMA/LTE evda Auto, and it was already apparently on that setting.
It wasn't letting me factory reset it, even from the bootloader menu. It would look like it was factory resetting, but then still not be factory reset. The only way I could get it to factory reset was by unlocking the bootloader through HTC DEV...but that didn't fix the issue. (Warranty was already void anyway because the void screw was tampered with)
What should I try next? I've flashed a rom on an evo 3d where I had to load a custom recovery through the bootloader, so I figured there was probably something similar on the rezound...but this has S-ON and revolutionary doesn't seem to available for rezound yet...and I don't think I could flash clockwork quick enough since it freezes after like 10-15 seconds.
Any input? I'd really like to get this phone working...thanks!
Once you unlock you should install Amon Ra recovery with fastboot. The thread is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339679
Well I flashed recovery via fastboot, and flashed CleanRom ICS (after loading the one zip file needed prior to flashing ICS Roms, and of course after backup and after wiping everything a few times) and its the same thing...gets into android and reboots after 10 seconds or so.

Just boot to bootloader and run the ruu for 2.11 from windows or figureout how to get the ph98img.zip of gingerbread or one of the leaks onto the root of the sdcard and flash that in the bootloader. If not s-off you should still be able to lock the bootloader using adb.
The reboots should NOT be affecting the bootloader or flash a backup from recovery. Just start fresh.

Run an RUU. EXE version is preferable.
ive read every thread and nothing seems to work...
ive done the internal and sd memory fixes but im still having a major issue, i was running clean rom de1.2 perfectly before i went and started the s-off procedure...now once i achieved s-off and i went to upgrade my rom to cleanrom de 1.3 i was getting the memory errors and reboots...went through the steps to fix the memory as i mentioned earlier and im still getting reboots when i receive txts or emails...normally id think this were a rom issue but ive tried some different roms...i thought i had the issues taken care of but now when i go to play some music it reboots plus im still getting reboots with sms and gmail...i froze gmail and have bought enough time to charge my phone to a decent ammount (have been working on this all morning), everything is current and have tried everything from wiping several times and re-installing the roms several times, all the fastboot and adb commands from the storage issues...flashed different kernels and even recoveries...i cant even stream music from my laptop and play it on the phone with out there being a reboot...i can send sms fine, it just appears to be receiving them is the issue...dont know if this is one problem or several...what information of my phone would you guys need to diagnose a problem...
im on:
Cleanrom DE 1.3 w/ 3.0.13 kernel
baseband v. 1.22.10.0310r 1.22.10.0308r
build 3.13.605.7 cl363816 release keys
hboot 2.21.2121
not sure what else to try...is there a method to getting back to bone stock so i can retry this whole thing again...im talking relocking the device and redoing all the htcdev crap/root/s-off/rom again
thank you very much in advance for any help
Sounds like youre on old firmware. Flash the old firmware patch. If it doesn't help Flash the ruu. If you're s-off no need to relock at all. You'll need to have a Ph file for recovery unless you want to unlock

ive flashed those several times...is there difference between them? the ones i flashed were from the clean rom folder after installing the rom
Best thing to do is run a ruu then it wipes your phone clean.

I had the sd issues after s-off and I never did the editing to fix the issues all I did to fix them was reflash amon ra then reflashed my backup of cleanrom and reflashed the kernel and rebooted then let it startup and then pulled battery and then restarted the phone and everything was back to normal sd card issue fixed. Try that it might work. Oh and I took the jhboot when it asked when it asked if I wanted to install it.

ok the old firmware patch seems to have worked...i really hope so cuz ive just about exhausted my AD&B keys...
ok so now that that has been taken care of, will it be smooth sailing from here on out? thanks for everything, especially the devs and hackers that made my headache even possible...
came from a droid x and that couldve been a hell of a device, wish there were an s-off equivalent to its ridiculous bootloader...but yeah loving the rezound dont even wanna return it even its mangled battery terminal...
ok spoke too soon...the sms reboots are gone...i can make calls but now the memory is back to being a problem...both internal and sd are showing as non existent...so do i now run those memory fixes again? or just wipe and install the rom completely from scratch again?

youre prolly on an incompatible hboot(cant mix GB and ICS)
heres what id do:
-run the 3.13.605.07 RUU
-clear storage in hboot
-install the ics jpbear hboot,if desired
-install recovery
-fresh start cleanrom 1.3
i just did the above to go from 3.11/1.2 to 3.13/1.3 and i have absolutely no issues. its smooth,fluid,sd card is there,never rebooted.
im not supposed to relock for this am i? do i just flash in recovery like 605.1 ruu?

That's a Rom. A ruu installs everything. Radios, boot and everything else.

despite many here misusing the term ruu, a ruu is an executable file run on a PC which does quite a bit more than a rom flash. Run one of the Ruu, out wit until Verizon releases a real ruu for ics, which hopefully will be Wednesday.

Despite however exceedingly helpful once again pointing out how many people "misuse" the term RUU may be.. This did not help him solve his problem in the slightest.
OP:
In the above instructions where he says "Run RUU":
-You will need to download the full ICS leak from android police or I believe there's a link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631630
--There are instructions on that site on how to install the RUU.
Then follow the previous poster's instructions about installing a new hboot (if you want to, it is not required)
**EDIT: You do not NEED to do this, please only do it if you know what you're doing. I have had absolutely no reason to replace my hboot and I haven't had any issues.**
Then you will need to reinstall a custom recovery.
Then you can proceed with your wiping/flashing. I remember a previous poster saying to do a factory reset after updating to the new RUU. Not sure if it's required, but I did it and I'm not having any issues.
Hope this helps!
yeah thanks again and i found that original RUU im installing now...i wouldve updated my status earlier but the download took an hour or so...everything seems fine at the moment...its currently updating /system, but i did notice it relocked my device, and i still have s-off though...so my question is, do i need to worry about being locked if ive still got s-off?
UPDATE:
ive got a fully functioning phone now...thanks everyone for the assistance and patience...this has been the most critical mod ive done to any phone...dont know where it screwed up along the way but im gonna enjoy this for a while before i tamper with it again
I had been running CM10.0 for a while when it decided to lose my internal SD card. I think it has somethin gto do with TWRP and unmounting/remounting sdcards. In any case... I decided to flash CM10.1 just because it would be something to do and maybe it would solve the problem.
It got stuck at the splash screen.
I flashed back to CM10.0 and cleared cache/dalvik and got the same result. At this point I was S-On.
I re-locked and RUU'd. Everything seemed to work fine (including the sdcard issue). Sweet .
I unlocked it (HTC-Dev), flashed TWRP 2.4.4.0, flashed CM10.1 and it gets stuck on the splash screen.
Long story short, I RUU'd and updated everything OTA (1210 radio, etc).
I then used dirty Racun (with Baby Racun) and wen't S-Off.
This put me at 2.09 (was there already) and radio 1119, with S-Off.
I then flashed TWRP 2.4.4.0 again...
So ....
I'm S-Off, Unlocked, Radio 1119, HBoot 2.09, 3.15.651.16...
If I flash CM10.1, then Gapps from 20130312 I still get stuck at the cm boot screen. Same thing happens with the latest nightly, the M2 and the 10.0 that I was running before.
Any ideas? I've serached the forum (the best I could... I can't get any results unless I try to make a thread and just take a look at the "related results" it comes up with)...
I just tried flashing the boot.img from the CM10.1 nightly through fastboot directly and nothing doing. Same issue.
So I was in the middle of running the RUU found at unlimited.io here --> (Won't let me post a URL yet... The 2.09 RUU anyway...) which I've done a few times during this project to get back to a stock ROM. I just do a few of the middle steps starting with locking the device and it happened to reboot into the OS instead of fastboot this time when I locked it...
And it booted into CM10.1...
WTH?
Well whatever... Anyway...
I'm going to make a backup and then try to unlock (HTC Dev token) the recovery and then if that works I'll be good to go...
Weird...
I know this is a little late, but did you try flashing another ROM besides CM? It shouldn't matter, really...just a thought.
How long were you stuck at the boot animation? Did you try using an older twrp?
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Thank you for the reply...
Once I got into CM10.1 I realized I couldn't send texts... so I messed around with APN's etc, and finally came across an "error 16..." thread that indicated that my phone had been newly locked out of the sprint network due to the S-Off state. So I called Sprint and had that solved in a few moments...
But I had already RUU'd and updated everything to stock, S-Off, re-locked...
So I thought "Sweet... now that I know what that solution is I'll go for CM10.1 again..."
Now I'm stuck at the boot screen again . I tried what seemed to have worked before (fastboot oem relock) and that doesn't seem to have done the trick this time.
Still kicking at it though .
To answer you questions... I tried TWRP 2.4.4.0 and TWRP 2.3.1.0, and as far as how long it sat in the boot animation... I left until the battery died once...
Hello all, I need some help if there are any ideas what could be going on with this phone. I can usually fix my own phone problems, but this one has stumped me...
I bought a rezound dirt cheap that was stuck on the white HTC screen and would not boot into the stock rom. At the time I bought it, it was s-on and I could get in the HBOOT and run fastboot commands.
Since buying it, I have tried many things to get this thing working. I've tried to RUU (with PH98IMG and .exe) and apparently after it completes it is once again in a boot loop on the white HTC screen. I have been able to unlock and flash a custom recovery onto it (amon-ra) and install any cm/aokp rom onto it and boot into that. The only issue with that is when in the rom, my wifi and bluetooth will not connect at all. It wont even toggle on in settings and it is not greyed out. 4G and everything else seems to work ok.
At this time, I'm thinking there is some kind of hardware failure but I'm open to suggestions.
In summary...
I have been able to s-off
I have tried different firmware combos of HBOOTs/radios
I have flashed custom recoveries and roms and can boot into them without wifi or bluetooth
I have been unsuccessful to RUU to anything stock, it'll just boot loop the white HTC screen
Right now, I have installed Tron 2.1 onto it. I did notice post:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2272781&highlight=no+wifi
When I go into system/lib, there was no /modules folder. I went ahead and created it and put in bcmdhd.ko and rebooted, but still no go. I'm not sure why the /modules folder was missing, but this reaches the extent of my knowledge on what is supposed to be there.
I believe I have tried everything and done fairly thorough searches to get this phone working properly and am at a loss what to do next. If anybody has a thought of something to try, I'm all for it. Fortunately if this phone doesnt work out, its not a big deal to me.
I don't want this to sound like another "stuck on HTC screen" thread. I have been through all those and this doesn't seem like the same problem.
Your help is greatly appreciated!

once this is done let it boot into the rom.
from here you should be good to flash any rom that is out there to date. (note please dont restore any system data, only app data)
ALSO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE 100% battery. doing an ruu can brick the phone if its interrupted.

Thanks for replying. I have flashed that RUU several times in a row in the past, but I'm redownloading it now to make sure my copy isnt corrupt. Earlier experience when I double flashed this it still remained a white HTC screen loop.
Currently estimated at 6hrs to download, so I wont be able to reply for a bit with my findings...

When the Rezound first came out a bunch of people had boot loop problems because the phone was set to wcdma or some such thing instead of cdma. I'm just a noob hack but that's my memory of it. The cure was to boot without the back cover on which contains the antenna and then change the setting.
Ok, I have re downloaded the AndroidPolice RUU and flashed twice, but was not able to boot into it no matter how long I waited (20 min+). It would just loop the HTC white screen. I then went ahead and flashed your global update firmware and have the same result after waiting (20 min+), it just loops the HTC white screen.
I have tried this process several times last night, but still no progress.

can you explain what you mean by flash the ruu twice once I have saved it to the root of my sd card? Does that just mean get to the bootloader, watch as it reads the the ph98img file and let it do that twice, or do I need to reboot in between, or do I need to put in a command?

when you let hboot flash the zip, the first time is super short. it updates hboot, stock recovery, and splash i think. then it will reboot back to bootloader and ask to be flashed again. this time it will take some time to update because it does the whole system.

something doesnt seem right. the RUU would have flashed the boot.img for you. can you link me to the downloaded ruu that you have? also before you run the ruu did you do fastboot oem lock the bootloader?
Edit:
i remember an old trick from the inc days. after the RUU boot back into hboot and do a "factory reset" then boot into the phone. it use to fix the radio errors somewhere getting after a RUU. no clue why we did it. it just worked. try that when you are on stock recovery locked bootloader
Here is the RUU I have re downloaded. It was also the original I used in the past on my other Rezound
https://www.dropbox.com/s/1570h8l0ba1u7qp/rezound_AndroidPolice_4.03.605.2_PH98IMG.zip
I have also tried the RUU 3.14.605.12.exe and a couple other different RUU versions, but have the same issue with that as well. Even on MicroMod777's OTA-Global-Stock-4.05.605.14 710RD-Rooted 5/1/13 flashed through amon-ra, I get the bootloop. I have done these as locked and unlocked bootloader with no difference. I have also tried the factory reset with locked bootloader.... no go with that either.
I was only able to finally boot in to stock by fastboot flashing the boot.img, and that is where this phone sits now. My major issue at this point is I dont have wifi or bluetooth and have dug through numerous posts and tried different things, and nothing is working on it. What was strange as I said in my previous post, the very first time I was able to boot into stock sense by flashing the boot.img, it briefly saw wifi networks but disappeared and disabled as soon as I tried to connect to one. I have not been able to replicate that since then.
On a sidenote and possibly related, since this phone has been sitting at my desk I decided to try and flash Newt's NOS JB v1.0.0 ROM and it bootloops also at the droid eye screen. I never was able to get it going on this phone. My other rezound boots this just fine.
I think I have reached the limits of my android knowledge of what to try on this thing. I am satisfied with it not having wifi/bluetooth since my wife wont be using those features. I would like to understand what the heck is going on though.
My LTE took a dump the other day. Started overheating like crazy, despite no changes.
Was running cynagenmod 10.2 and it was working well. S-Off HBOOT 2.09.4444, Radio 1.12.11.1119
Then these overheats kept going all day until I turned it off. Then started bootlooping, would fully launch one out of 10 times.
So I wiped using TWRP and gave that a try, no luck, still overheating and bootlooping.
So I wiped and restored a TWRP backup, nothing... the stock rom is bootlooping even harder than before and never fully launches now.
It got to the point TWRP wouldn't launch until I had to put a fresh version on the SD card.
Tried to install the newest stable CM10.2 image and as before locking up at boot splash screen of the rom after HTC "quietly brilliant" and looping.
So now I am stuck, downloaded the stock RUU from HTC website, however the devices needs to be recognized to use their exe.
Is there an image I can throw on the SD card and use TWRP to try a flash from that? Any other recommendations?
TIA.

What are you trying to achieve? Do you need an alternative RUU flash or find a new ROM so you won't get bootloops and heating?
I suggest going on CM11 or resort to Meanbean for stock sense 4.
If you're running a RUU I suggest using this method here.

But before that please read the first 4 posts of this thread (especially Q&A) to get you updated on what's going on with the newest RUU.

I am trying to get this phone into any working order if I can. I have reason to believe the hardware has been affected by the overheating. I need to get it to fully launch before I can declare that, so anything to stop it from bootlooping is what I am trying to achieve. Occasionally, when it would fully launch, I noticed none of the radios worked, no mobile data, no WiFi and no Bluetooth which were previously functioning fine.
The links are down to the two files needed in the first post you're referencing.
I believe my partitions are out of whack and need to be fixed. Everything I am seeing to repair partitions is while the phone can boot, can someone point me to some info that shows how to fix partitions while only recovery is achievable? Maybe I am going about this wrong, search not returning the results needed.
TIA
You can RUU from the bootloader, without having to be booted to the OS. I can confirm this works on both the 3.17 RUU and the latest 4.13 RUU, which I have both used. Make sure you have HTC Sync involved and use a Windows 7 machine and you shouldn't have any issues.

You're saying you were able to get it recognized during Bootloader USB? The RUU will not recognize the device for me this way.
Yep, worked just fine connected via Fastboot USB mode.

Hmm, tried this on Win8, I'll give 7 a shot, thanks for the heads up!
How do I ensure my partitions are in proper order? Often when in TWRP and trying to run common commands, I get SD card unmountable and noticed what seems like multiple SD card nomenclature.
