2.17.605.2_fireball ota ruu

My bootloader was never unlocked, and it shows that it's still locked in the bootloader menu.
Sounds like the file is named wrong or in the wrong place. Check the OP again. In the root of the SDCard and not named .zip.zip
I appreciate your suggestions, but I can assure you that the file is named "PJ53IMG.zip" exactly (including case; excluding the quotes). I checked with both the File Manager and with "ls -al" from the Terminal. The folder it's in is /mnt/sdcard, which is the root SD card directory. Does it matter that I don't actually have an SD card in my phone? It must be the phone's internal memory that's pretending to be an SD card.
I already tried re-copying the file over (this time renaming it before I copied it), but it made no difference. I'll try re-downloading it just in case, but since the md5sum matched, I doubt it will make a difference.
sorry, i mean't that guy should have told he didn't have an sdcard Ext) in his phone not the op
i hope he deleted it after the install, forgot to mention that, but i think it's in the op
lol. When I read "OP", I assumed they meant Andy's original post. I wouldn't call the guy's question the OP, but the guy who asked should have read the real OP when it said "SD card", not the "/sdcard/" eMMC partition.
The external SDCard is /sdcard2/. Very confusing for those of us coming from phones without internal SDCards. It never occurred to me that hboot would look for a file on a card that didn't come with the phone. Ringtones show up from either card/partition. If you choose a ringtone from /sdcard2/ it disappears when you pull the SDCard.

you should know how big your SD-card esp since it didn't come with the phone..
if you have a 2GB SD-card and you click on the 8GB spot for the internal, well that's just your fault, I'm sorry.

"If you choose a ringtone from /sdcard2/ it disappears when you pull the SD-Card."
- I don't see how else it would react, you choose something, then took out the SD-card, of coarse it's going to be gone
Exactly. Also, because of the the Android system taking up significant space of the claimed 8GB storage space, you are only allowed 4.15 GB of space to store what you want. I have a 32GB MicroSD card, but am only allowed 29.7GB of space because they use 1 billion bytes (10^9 bytes) as a GB, despite RAM being 2^30 bytes. They call this GiB, or gibibytes. IEC vs SI, and nobody really likes it. Hard drives that were in megabytes (MB) were always the capacity they were labeled. Companies now protect themselves by saying "Actual formatted capacity less", despite the fact that I always have more than the number of bytes listed as available. Only a couple actually say 1 gigabyte = 1 billion bytes.
Also, if you have something on the SD card and you take the SD card out, do you really expect it to work?

Full RUU.exe for 2.17.605.2 OTA
MD5 = 266BA0801978A9F5CFABE6F316D207FF4haha this is why I LOVE this community!
you guys are awesome.
in the rezound forums, once I tested s-off (on my only personal device mind you, having to use a paper clip....) and once I got it, they were also making the tool for about 6 other phones, so before it got released ALL phones had to be tested, so it took a bit longer for it to come, and when I made like the splash thread, some people spammed me saying how I'm rubbing it in their faces, and that's completely not true. I mean, I must have rebooted my phone over 100 times with that paper clip, I also figured out for the team that the SD-card was the reason, so that saved a lot of time and hassle for them.
long story short, I sure as hell don't regret selling that brick of **** and buying this awesome phone with awesome people to share it with!
Since we are only waiting for a tool for just our phone (I think anyway) it shouldn't take nearly as long as that wait IMO, but again I don't know. But it is pretty cool that the exploit was found in a new update, usually they break the exploits not open them up lol.
big props to superdave for finding that otherwise this wouldn't of happened I don't think, or certainly not this fast anyway.2
Very welcome.
Yessir indeed.
6) enjoy Sense 4.1 and please wait patiently for the S-OFF tool.
7) smile.1
it shouldnt say unlocked unless you did the dev unlock again. If it says it after an RUU it wasnt locked before running the ruu.
if it is unlocked now all you need to do is put it in fasboot mode:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
and it should put recovery on the device.
