Rezound Stuck on HTC Screen - Will not Boot. No Access to Recovery

mdunn1066 · Mar 19, 2012

Bricked my HTC Rezound trying to root it today. Need help installing stock RUU, but how do i do this. Push it to my phone with ADB while in fastboot? And if thats how, how is this accomplished? I can only access the bootloader/fastboot.

What exactly were you doing when this happened?

mdunn1066 · Mar 19, 2012

I was in aman ra recovery and i thought i was rooted. I also thought i had done a nandroid backup earlier, but apparently not. I flashed cleanrom, and when i rebooted, it got stuck on the white htc screen

If you are unlocked then just flash the kernel in fastboot.

If you are trying to install cleanrom 4.0 you need to run the leaked ruu first.

Its literally too late for any of that. I can only access the bootloader or fastboot. There is no recovery installed now because it was only the temp one. If i had a way to get the stock ruu on the storage so it installs in the bootloader, then i may be able to fix my rezound, correct?

I apologize, but last time i checked a phone that doesnt boot is a bricked phone, whether it was user error or a problem with the device that caused it?

When your phone is bricked it literally means its a brick that won't bee good for anything than a paper weight
Your case, all you need to do is flash a new kernel

Thank you for clarifying. Can you help me do this?

Also. Wouldn't it be possible to just fastboot oem lock, then put the RUU on an sd card using an sd card reader, and enter hboot and install that way?

EmerikL · Mar 19, 2012

Why do that? If you can fastboot oem lock, why not put the boot image that is in the PH98IMG.zip file, in the same directory as fastboot then type fastboot flash boot boot.img. Now you have your kernel installed.

Because I am inexperienced with ADB still and did not know i could, or how, to do that.

So far it looks to be working as its booting up, thanks a million. I feel sheepishly inexperienced but i guess we all start and learn somehow, right?

EmerikL · Mar 19, 2012

Yes we all start somewhere. It isn't the end of the world, live and learn.

Am having the same issue here

I was able to fix mine by going to fastboot on the phone, going into the actual zip file that was the rom i flashed on my pc, and extracting the file named boot.img into my adb folder and then in the command window with the phone connected to the pc and in fastboot mode typing fastboot flash boot boot.img

EtherBoo · Mar 20, 2012

Can you explain this process in a bit more detail?

I'm kind of new to HTC and not familiar with all the terms yet. Same thing happened to me trying to get the ICS leak on my phone.

I'm not familiar with ADB, and have minimal familiarity with ADB.

Am also having the same issue here

---------- Post added at 05:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:38 AM ----------

my steps:

1 anlock from htcdev.com
2 re-lock bootloader
3 flash leaked RUU 3.11.605.22
4 unlock again
5 flash Amon Ra recovery
6 flash Scott's CleanROM ICS Edition Version 4.0
- enjoyed the week
- wanted to flash another rom
I put on the SD card RezROM_ICS_v3.1.zip and began to flash, forgetting the first re-lock, flash leaked RUU 3.11.605.22, unlock and then flash RezROM. (isn't it?)

Phone rebooted and there was a white HTC screen and nothing more.
Then I tried to fix it and flash leaked RUU 3.11.605.22 again (re-lock, put on the SD card PH98IMG.zip, flash, but after reboot I got the same white HTC screen and nothing)

pls someone could instruct me on the right path?

sd_ekt · Mar 28, 2012

which means in Amon Ra recovery:

E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p36 (File exists)
E: Can't mount CACHE: recovery/command
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p36 (File exists)
E: Can't mount CACHE: recovery/log
E: Can't open CACHE: recovery/log
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p36 (File exists)

and so after each attempt to flash any ROM

I can not understand what I do? pls help

Try pulling the battery & SD card, power up without SD. Do a factory reset. Are you currently in an unlocked state with a fresh .22 RUU installed?

now I can not really answer, because that I have tried many options to fix this.

I tried it, power up without sd card and battery - factory reset. but in recovery still:
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p36 (File exists)
E: Can't mount CACHE: recovery/command
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p36 (File exists)
E: Can't mount CACHE: recovery/log
E: Can't open CACHE: recovery/log
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p36 (File exists)

in fastboot following info:

TAMPERED
RELOCKED
Security Warning

VIGOR PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.21.0000
RADIO-1.22.10.0310r/1.22.10.0308r
OpenDSP-v13.6.0.7611.00.0101
eMMC-boot
Mar 11 2012

I also tried to flash original RUU_Vigor_VERIZON_WWE_2.01.605.11_Radio_RS_0.95.00 .1123r_3161E_9K_QMR_release_233635_signed.exe, but when I click the button to proceed and I get an error message stating it failed due to an invalid signature.

You can't RUU backwards and you need to re-unlock before attempting to flash another rom.
