New to the forum but not to technology. I had a Rezound. Great phone. Loved it. Did a lot of research and chose it over the Razr, and Nexus back in November. It was the right choice. Look at the resale values of those 3 phones today. Anyway, I was kayaking down the river (and I had everything in a water-tight bag) when I spied a mature bald eagle in a tree right next to the bank. I paddled up river (huff, huff, huff, huff) and positioned my kayak against a log next to the bank. Grab my phone out of the bag, and as I was about to snap the picture, the current flipped my kayak over. I couldn't see it, but I was positioned against a smaller branch that was at a 45degree angle against the log. The kayak went down. I went down. The phone went down. It was only for a about 3 seconds, but I have been unsuccessful at getting the Rezound back to life. Here's where I am at:
The phone was Unlocked, rooted, S-ON, running Scott's CleanRom 4.5. with the Gingerbread patch applied. Amon Ra 3.13.
I took out the battery, SIM, and SD card and let it dry (used the bag-of-rice trick also). I even pulled the red cover off (voided any warranty which I'm sure I didn't qualify for at this point anyway). Have let it dry for 6 days. It will boot to the second HTC white screen and then reboot. I can get it into the bootloader and use fastboot to flash image files, etc... I have tried unlocking/relocking, flashing various images to boot/system/recovery. But I cannot boot into recovery to flash the ROM. Every time I choose "Recovery" the phone reboots.
Also, at this point, I'm not sure if the USB is charging the battery even though I have access via the SDK/fastboot from the PC. I do have the SD card available to me, but using the PH***.zip file doesn't seem to help. I've become rather adept at using the "fastboot" command. Can't use the "ADB command, I imagine that is due to the fact that I can't boot the phone all the way up into debugging mode.
Now, I still have some confusion regarding version numbers of the boot.img, ROM, system.img, recovery images, etc... So, maybe there's still hope, but my hopes are not high. Right now using a S3 with a few days left on my 14 day return period. Not sure if I want to stick with it or get a replacement Rezound.
Here's what info I can get from the bootloader(HBOOT) and fastboot:
