So i achieved s-off using the rumrunner method and it worked great. So the next step i took was updating the hboot and radios , which worked to an extent.... Before i updated them they were somewhere like hboot 2.25 and radios 1.2 or something along those lines. I used this guide http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=38527788&postcount=745 and it updated and i assumed it was the most up to date but then i later checked more carefully and it only updated me to hboot 2.27.0000 and radios 2.22.10.0801r/2.22.10.0803r So i downloaded it again and checked the md5 like last timed and updated it again and its still the same. I dont know whats wrong can anyone help me out? Thanks guys!

From reading the surrounding posts around the post you linked, it seems like as of THAT time those were the latest. I'm not sure, but I think in one of neo's threads has the latest.

What about a full ruu with the updated radios/hboot and everything else included I'm having trouble navigating the thread for it
Simply put... there isn't one. :(

4.5.605.14 was only ever released as an OTA update, no RUU publicly exists, all we have is cherry picks from the OTA.

The best you could do there is flash the last available RUU (3.14.605.12) and manually apply the updates.

You installed the firmware for the 4.03.605.2 OTA. There is a more recent Global RUU 4.05.605.14 that has the 2.28 hboot with the 0123r/0124r radios. You can just flash the firmware without losing your recovery or flashing the full RUU. Rename to PH98IMG.zip and flash in HBOOT.

Here is the 2.28 HBOOT

The first link (post #33) has both radios and Hboot... the second is Hboot only (post #26). You should do them as a pair, although it is possible to have an "unmatched" pair of hboot/radios, on the 0123r/0124r radios some people did have issues if they didn't have 2.28 Hboot, if I remember right.

Thanks for clarifying. I see you already had him pointed in the right direction after rereading. :good:

There is really no place to get the full RUU?

Correct... No RUU or even a full official ROM image exists publicly. I do know that an exe RUU exists for 4.5.605.14, but it may never see the light of day. I know the person who leaked the previous RUUs to AndroidPolice in the past, they have access to the file but there are other reasons he can't release it, I honestly don't know anymore details.

I got 3 messages in a row about assistance with this issue lol. So I figured it was urgent. Sorry it took me a little bit to reply. I think I've got the s-off version of the latest update somewhere on either my Rezound or my website data stash. I'll have to look for it when I get the chance. My personal opinion: if you are able to flash roms, fastboot, adb, and boot into recovery from the boot loader, there's really no other reason to update it.

    Here is what you need if S-OFF... see post #33 for a radios and hboot only flashable ZIP.

    http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2250494

    Either rename to PH98IMG.zip and place on SD Card and allow to flash in HBoot, or just flash with CWM/TWRP.
