My Rezound and I are stuck.

Let me start at the beginning. My Rezound was running “RUU_Vigor_VERIZON_WWE_1.02.605.6” and it was unlocked and rooted. So recently Verizon started forcing this firmware update with no way to stop it that I could find. So I decided to update on my own. I did a Nanoid backup of everything and a Titanium back up of everything. I relocked my phone and I found “RUU-build-4-03-605-2” at Android Police . So I downloaded it and renamed it PH98IMG.zip. Placed it on my SD card and booted into HBOOT were it loaded the new version. It worked so I unlocked my phone and loaded “recovery-ra-vigor-3.15-gnm.img”. I loaded SU from the recovery had it updated at Google Play. Reloaded Titanium rooted and this is where things started to go wrong. No permissions were being given to Titanium. I tried “recovery-ra-vigor-3.14-gnm.img” and I even tried SUSuper but nothing worked. I went into recovery and did a complete Nanoid recovery. Since then I have not been able to get anything to work. I cannot load any older versions. I try to reload “RUU-build-4-03-605-2” but it makes it to #4 system were it gets stuck in a loop of unzipping and updating.

My very last attempt was to unlock the phone load “recovery-ra-vigor-3.13-gnm.img” go into recovery and do a wipe of everything. Then from XDA-Developers I downloaded the ICS Global Phone Update Firmware and the ICS Global Phone Update. In recovery I used “flash a zip” to update the firmware. I locked the phone and renamed the Phone Update to PH98IMG.zip. Booted into HBOOT and allowed it to update the software. I instantly powered down and renamed “RUU-build-4-03-605-2” to PH98IMG.zip rebooted to HBOOT and it made it to #4 system where it got stuck in the loop.

When I try just to start the phone it stays on the white HTC screen.

What can I do to get my phone working again? Please be specific with the steps to take because I am still at the bottom of the learning curve.

One other question: Can my Nanoid backup recover the data for the internal card so Titanium will be able to recover my programs.

Thank You SOOOOOOO very much for your help.

Post this in the ROM subforum here and you'll probably get a quicker response and help. I ran into most of this and found my answer here:



Keep in mind that the instructions are geared for CWM. I use Amon-Ra but it is easy to figure out the steps. Once I flashed the Superuser, I had root. Also, when my Rezound rebooted I let it go all the way into setup before I interrupted anything.

Good luck

Thank you for your response and advice as to where to repost this. As of right now I am 98% back up and running thanks to my post at XDA: .

The only question I have is why when I try to load 4.03-605.2 does it get stuck when it is loading the system image.

And the really annoying part, after all of this, is that this afternoon I got a message on my screen asking me if I wanted to run the Verizon firmware update (the reason I decided to update my phone in the first place). Luckily this time I had three choice and one of them was REJECT.
