Alright guys, I've searched and searched and I think I have it all down, just want to lay out my steps and get verification.
I'm on T-Mo ICS, not from OTA, flashed myself
Root
S-Off
4-Ext
I'm sending my phone in and need to go back to stock. I think I would prefer to go back to GB so it's just like from factory with no OTA.
- Download the Stock GB RUU from here - HTC Ruby/Amaze 4G Stock ROMs
- The RUU I want is - PH85IMG_Ruby_TMOUS_1.43.531.3_Radio_1.08.550L.19DC _30.66.550L.08D_release_228638_signed
- Following These Directions I connect via ADB and fastboot oem lock This will show it as Re-Locked, correct?
- Reboot
- Flash the stock RUU I got by placing it in the root of my external sd card and renaming it PH85IMG.zip and rebooting to bootloader. Which is Volume Down + Power? Can someone verify that?
- Then I set the security lock by doing "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" - This will change the bootloader to show locked, not re-locked, correct? I thought you had to have root to ADB?
At that point I'm back as if I took the phone out of the box for the first time? 4ext will be replaced with Stock Recovery? Thanks in advance. Like I said, I've searched, but there are many conflicting reports. :good:

In order to flash the factory RUU you need to be either locked or relocked. Then when you flash the factory RUU it should overwrite your hboot which will reset from "relocked" to "locked" then the writesecureflasg function will turn S-ON and you'll be factory.

If you're s-off you don't need to lock or relock to flash a stock ruu.

Guess that does make sense, huh?
But everything looks OK then?
Update - Downloaded and renamed the RUU, rebooted into recovery and installed everything. Bootloader shows locked and I went ahead and did the ICS Update. Everything is back to factory and I'm ready to send it back.

Rick. Like you, I want to bring my T-Mobile HTC Amaze back to stock so that I can upgrade to ICS. The phone was bought on eBay with GB and a custom rom. I'd like to follow your steps but it had a lot of question marks and/or needed confirmation. Will you post exactly what you did?
Your steps seems a lot easier than what I've been researching. Is it really that simple? It makes sense. Everyone else uses hasoon2000 toolkit. Thanks for your time!

You don't need to go back to stock you just need to download the factory ics ruu or a rom that stock like. The hasoon toolkit is more of a guide to help you with the process try to read it an maybe you can rom your cell with a better one!

Thanks for your reply. That makes sense, too. Plus, it'll save me a step. I'm new to Android and got a lot to learn. With the help of xda-developers, I've learned a lot these past three weeks.
From what I've been reading, it's apparent that I need to have S-off before I do any flashing. Like I mentioned, I bought the phone with a custom rom. I'm guessing if it has a custom rom, then it was S-off at one time. If so, I should be able to S-off easily. Since I didn't flash the phone, I'm not sure what program is installed. Your knowledge and experience will be greatly appreciated if you can tell me if I'm able to S-off easily and how. Whenever I go into HBOOT I see the following:
***UNLOCKED***
RUBY PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.90.0008
eMMC-boot
FASTBOOT
<vol up> to previous item
<vol Down> to next item
<Power>
BOOTLOADER
REBOOT
REBOOT BOOTLOADER
POWER DOWN
I received a replacement Rezound today and have messed it up beyond my repair. When I powered the new phone on it was on the old GB software. I manually searched for an update which was finally found. I downloaded the update and went through the process of installing it. About half way through the update, a red triangle with an exclamation point appeard. I tried this process twice and then decided to run the RUU that I had installed on my sd card from my prior phone. The RUU was the most recent ICS.
At this point I was not S-off or rooted, but completly stock. The RUU did not fully run but it did update my HBOOT and Radio's. When I boot the phone, it is still on GB software. I have some how changed my bootloader to show Tampered as well.
I was able to flash a zip file of AmonRa 3.15 and was able to flash ViperRom 1.03. I thought this would correct the problems and allow me to S-Off but it did not.
I thought that if I could S-off I could maybe get this all straight. But I am not sure.
At this point, I have a phone that reboots after a few short minutes.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!

If it tanked doing the OTA ICS update right out of the box, I'd call VZW for another phone...
Thank you for the reply, but my hboot now says tampered and relocked. I do not think I could send the phone back in this condition and get a new one.
Anyone else have any ideas?
Un-lock using HTC unlock then s-off your phone using some wire tied to a couple thumb tacks. Run latest ruu again, then install recovery, then flash Rom.

In case anyone else has this problem, I was able to re-lock and flash the RUU through adb to get everything corrected. I'm now rooted, S-off, and running inef 1.2!
Hey guys I am looking for a little help. I had an IDIOT error.
I have a rezound that I put a custom recovery and unlocked via hosoons tool. Then I flashed a custom Rom (newts hybrid).
Well I started reading about how its easier to flash etc if you are s-off. So I tried restoring my stock unrooted backup. While restoring it failed and I came to find out its because I needed to also restore the boot.IMG. so I went to try and find it and my backup was gone! I have went thru internal and external its no where.
So I reflashed the Rom and boot IMG the correct way and am now running that. So my basic question is am I sol? Am I stuck on this Rom?
Thank for any help.
Sorry for the crappy type out I am at work and just got time to write this up. I will update what I get home.
P.s I did a lot of searching and couldnt find anything.

S On you say...
It's as easy as extracting the boot.img file and using fastboot to install the boot.img file.
Open up the ROM you downloaded and extract the boot.img file.
Place the boot.img in the folder where you have fastboot, ex:
d:\phones\rezound\bootloader\andriod\
Boot into recovery; flash your ROM; boot into the bootloader; then run fastboot from the command prompt:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Good luck and have fun.
Thanks for your reply! But how would I go about getting back to stock? I understand the boot.IMG flashing procedure I just didn't realize it was necessary to restore a backup and now my stock back up is not available and I have no idea where it went so I am running the Rom I stated above with no way to go back to stock.

You don't have to go back to stock to change ROMs. You can just wipe and flash another ROM (including whatever kernel comes with it).
But yeah, if you want to s-off you should be stock. Although now it seems even if you are s-on flashing the kernels is automated. I just flashed EclipticRez and it had me select s-off or s-on, I picked s-on and it made the PH98IMG of the kernel and went to hboot. I just had to say yes and delete the file afterwards.
But you can get back to stock by running the RUU found here:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ull-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/
You need to put this on your external sd card, rename it to PH98IMG.zip, relock (fastboot oem lock) and reboot. Hboot will find the file and start running it. Let it run through several times so it gets all the files. It will reboot you once it's done. Then you'll need to unlock again and flash a custom recovery and then you can make a new nand of stock to make it easier to get back to it.
Also, there's an OTA that just rolled out so if you don't want to be bothered by it just don't put the back door on so you won't connect. There's a thread about it in General, seems to be new radios and who knows what else.
But don't you have to be s-off to flash an RUU? Also can you put amon ra recovery on your phone with s-on?

No, you just have to be locked to run the RUU. I'm still s-on and I just did it last night. Then I flashed Amon Ra and then a ROM.
s-off was a later discovery so RUUs and custom recoveries were being flashed by everyone when they were s-on until someone figured out how to s-off.
So while I'm on my Rom I can relock and flash the ruu? Do I need to put the recovery back to stock or will the ruu do that?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
The RUU will do that. All you need to do is put it on your sd card if it's a zip file, rename it to PH98IMG.zip, relock and reboot.
I am sorry for my ignorance but I need to relock first correct?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
Yes.
Save anything you need off both cards. Pictures, music, etc... any files at all.
Make a nandroid of what you have now in case anything goes wrong. (I'm sure it won't)
Relock the phone in fastboot:
fastboot oem lock
Put the RUU file on the sd card and rename it to PH98IMG.zip
Reboot the phone into bootloader (hold vol down then press and hold power until you are in hboot)
Phone will find the PH file and run the RUU. It goes through it a few times. The screen will go dark a few times during the process and it will go through updating after each of those times again. Just let it run it's course and it will reboot your phone when it's done. Delete the PH file if it's still there. (I used my orig 16gb card and popped in my 64gb back in as soon as I did it so I didn't check if it was still on the 16gb card or not, but if it is it will run again so make sure it isn't.)
After that you will need to unlock again using your unlock token. If you don't have it still you can get a new one. I just keep mine in my flashing folder on the pc so it's always there if I need it.
Use this command to unlock:
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
Then flash your recovery:
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery
Root
Make a nandroid for going back to stock whenever you need to
Flash ROM of choice.
Good luck!
Hey thank you so much for your help! For some reason my phone eouldnt read the PH98img file. So I had to use hasoons tool again and flashed the file that way. Ran it twice and bam back to relocked stock! I really appreciate all of of your guys help!
I do have one more question. Do you have to be s-off to flash amonra recovery? I have read where you don't and where you do...
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
No, you can flash Amon Ra while s-on. Everyone did before s-off happened. I'm still s-on and I just did the whole RUU thing, Amon Ra, new ROM a couple days ago.
Don't forget to make a nandroid of stock right after you flash Amon Ra.
Thanks again! What Rom do you recommend?

I'm glad I saw this thread, because I'm in trouble.
I've been running an ICS rom with the gingerbread patch. But tethering never worked.
In an effort to get tethering working, I flashed the new CM10.1 JB rom. Phone stuck at HTC screen. Did some reading, realized I needed to yank the boot.img out of the zip and fastboot it in. Did that, didn't help. I spent 4 hours last night trying every conceivable order of events. rom first, then img. img first, then rom. img via fastboot. img via PH98update file. Nothing works.
I put amon ra on and started all over again. Ugh. My old Sprint Evo was a tank for stuff like this, I swear you could put anything you wanted on it and it would run fine.
Anyway, I was going to come on here and ask if it's possible to go S-OFF with a stuck phone because it's all I could think of.
But now I will try this relock, ruu, unlock, amon ra, root method.
Here goes another 8 hours.

Good luck! Post back if you have any issues. The RUU took me about 10-20 minutes.
After you flash Amon Ra and root make a nandroid so you can easily revert to stock if needed.
Back up and running. The instructions were well written and easy to understand.
Thanks for all the help!
However I think this time I just want to go straight to S-OFF. I did the htc dev unlock last time, I have no idea where my token is.
I guess I'd rather go all the way and s-off so I can try that JB rom again without worrying about seperating the boot.img file.
So is it possible to s-off my phone with the RUU listed on this thread? And phone currently locked?
Another question. I don't think I've flashed any firmware which means my phone is still running GB firmware. Does that mean I need to always run the GB patch when running IC or JB roms?
Good to hear!
The RUU will have gotten you to the latest firmware if you used the global one at android police.
As to any s-off questions, I'm still s-on so I would get that info from someone else. I don't want to say the wrong thing and get you in a bad spot. There's a long s-ff thread in the general section and I'm sure if you just search you should find the info you need. Or else there's a help thread also in the general section where you can post questions or actually, probably find the answers you need.
Keep this handy for next time:

It works similar to dumlock.
I have been having the worst time trying to take my Rezound back to stock. I rooted it a long while ago and am now stuck. I was able to relock but still at s-on and I cant seem to find the right RUU exe file to load the system back to stock. Current info is as follows;
HBOOT-2.25.0000
RADIO-1.22.10.0421r/1.22.10.0424r
OpenDSP-v13.6.0.7611.00.0104
eMMC-boot
Image version 3.14.605.12
I am a complete noob so I will need as much simple directions as possible. I am desperate at this point since I cant seem to get it to reload the stock. Every time I use the RUU.exe files
RUU_VIGOR_ICS_35_S_VERIZON_WWE_3.14.605.12_Radio_RS_1.22.10.0424r_3622A_MR3_9K_release_270509_signed.exe
Found on androidfiles.org/ruu/?developer=Vigor or any of the other ones it fails. Fortunately I have not bricked the phone yet but I am running out of options since android police site has one but says not to use it : This will not work if you used the HTC Bootloader unlock tool. Your device must be fully stock with a locked bootloader or you must have S-Off (method).
Help please!!!
Try this link here http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Vigor and download the PH98IMG_ICS_3.14.605.12.zip! Do not download any others. Rename it to PH98IMG.zip and flash in bootloader. It should allow you to flash it.

After you rename it place it on the root directory of the SD card. Then power phone off. Then press volume down + power so it boots into bootloader. There it should ask if you want to update. Tell it yes. It won't brick you as its the same s/w you seem to be on. Worst case it won't flash.
Edit: make sure you verify the md5!

My rezound is semi-bricked currently and I am also looking to get back to stock form. I think the most current ROM that I had on it would be like Infection2.3.

Remember to flash a ph98img zip RUU, the bootloader must be relocked and internal storage will also be completely wiped. Backup the contents in recovery using usb mass storage mounts.

Sounds like all that needs done is a factory reset(wipe caches+data) and wipe system. Re-flash a Sense rom and fastboot flash the matching boot.img. Try my rom Viral OTA, just the data/system wipes prior to flashing and it willk get you back up to 100%. Rememer to reboot to bootloader if using TWRP.
I just spent 4 hours doing this to my own phone. YMMV. I thought I would share the step by step instructions that I spent the last few hours trying to figure out. This will also work to get to S-Off from HBOOT 2.28 (which was my goal, but also to give instructions to S-ON easily as well for returning for warranty, etc).
This assumes you already know how to load a rom, and are comfortable with the adb and fastboot commands (since you are here wanting to return to stock). This also assumes you have a booting rom, and/or access to side load a rom onto the sd card, and have access to recovery still.
CRITICAL: DO NOT DO THE S-ON PROCEDURE AT THE END UNTIL YOU CAN BOOT THE STOCK RUU!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2260154&highlight=stock+ota
Download and copy ota file from the link above to root of sd card
flash stock ota from recovery
Extract the boot.img from the ota.zip using any program other than windows (winzip, winrar). Flash the boot.img: fastboot flash boot boot.img
If you can boot into the ota stock rom, proceed to the S-Off section.
flash mainver.zip if you get errors about mainver (http://androidforums.com/rezound-al...ndly-root-guide-start-finish.html#post3997776)

Load ruu (605.2)... a simple search should find lots of sources. (load as PH98IMG.zip on root of internal storage; reboot to hboot by shutting down or battery pull, then hold vol down + power, to load stock ruu - TAKES A LONG TIME!)

Yeah I figured the s-off people were just being overly cautious... but I personally would recommend using the know working 100% method... there are a lot of variables that could affect it with other mods I'm sure. Including Infection (which I use and love!)

I cannot get it for the life of me to boot though, it boots to the HTC green and then basically just stays there OR it keeps booting into HBOOT.
I had it RELOCKED before loading the STOCK rom from this post, had to unlock again to flash boot.img
Thanks hopefully for any help.
*** TAMPERED ***

To remove the tampered tag and have it say "locked" instead of "relocked" you must S-off.
I don't know why you couldn't boot after flashing the ota.zip from recovery and flashing boot img from hboot as it should boot up.
To use most fastboot commands, you need to be unlocked. The command is "fastboot flash boot boot.img" be sure to have that boot part in there. "Fastboot flash boot.img" will just not work. If you forget the "flash" part, it will just temporarily boot that boot.img once.
