Again, i apologize for my lack of knowledge. I program Mainframes not phones. If you ever need that Im glad to help! HAHAHAH

My question is, are those steps done on the phone or via the command prompt?

I finally got it to download, but i have an issue! What are the commands to "Flash" the new software in part two of making the phone stock again??? I'm unclear on exactly what to enter. I just don't want to screw it up!

Putting current stock firmware and s-on back onto the phone

After getting the bootloader back to the original s-off, engineering 1.04.2000 hboot download these 2 files:
1)PG05IMG_no_hboot_2.11.605.9.zip
md5: 3e189b6c85ea7da1e26e12a5cd7b1ab0
and
2) PG05IMG_hboot_only_2.11.605.9.zip
md5: d26b3253358407d459c654e6729a39ca

Rename PG05IMG_no_hboot_2.11.605.9.zip to "PG05IMG"... move to your sd card and flash in hboot.

This is important! you must flash the PG05IMG_no_hboot_2.11.605.9.zip first!

after successfully flashing that,you will be on unrooted gingerbread with an eng s-off bootloader. delete the PG05IMG file from your sd card. now place the PG05IMG_hboot_ONLY_2.11.605.9.zip on your sd card. check the md5. once youve verified it matches,you can rename PG05IMG and flash it.

Again, ONLY flash the hboot file after you have successfully flashed the rom.

Now you are 100% stock on latest firmware. unrooted gingerbread 2.11.605.9 with *locked* 1.05.0000 s-on bootloader.


Im sorry for a stupid question, but I am VERY new at this and need some help!!

Can you please tell me how you were able to get these files to download? Just persistence? I just have to flash these 2 files and I will be done. TRTER, I have tried your tool but was getting hung up, are those files in your tools folder? Thanks!

Persistance paid off... Plus I tried another computer. Still took forever!!

Trter, I have the bootloader back to the original s-off, engineering 1.04.2000 hboot download. Having trouble downloading the stock ROM and S-ON bootloader files. Can your tool be used in this circumstance? Thanks! Raj

Thanks, do I just go to the unroot option and it will pick it up from there?

I am at the "wait a few seconds, your phone will load a file" window. It has been here for ~15 minutes. Can't tell if anything is happening. Does this sound right? Will I get an indication on the phone when the file is ready to load, or the computer? Sorry about the newb questions!

 

[jdlowndes]

I got it figured out! Thank you very much for all the help!

Now to see what I can do with this Rezound...

By the way, at the first prompt where it asked "did the file push correctly (should be random numbers)" I went ahead and said yes since I already have the original s-off bootloader, hope this is correct. When I looked at my SD card with Astro, I did not see a file named with random numbers.

No the files still need to be pushed. It meant under the prompt
I guess just reboot and run again

It requires wiping data, are you okay with that?

what would cause phone to fail after I enter the beta key and run the exe file?

My phones looks be unrooted now, but your instructions say to go through the activation menu and then go into debugging and back to charge and you will take over again.

I dont see the debugging menu from the phone now that its back to the original.
