New Rezound ICS Build Leaked With Updated Radio

[samiusmc]

As owners of the HTC Rezound await an update to Ice Cream Sandwich, some sneaky person has leaked the official update build onto the web for everyone’s pleasure. The operation to update your device is extremely simple, but may take some time depending on your Internet connection due to the fact that the file is a humongous 640MB. If you feel like tasting some sweet ICS on your Rezound before it is released to the masses, then follow the instructions down below to ensure a proper installation.
Instructions for installation:

1. After downloading the file, rename it to PH98IMG.zip.
2. Place the renamed file onto the root of the SD Card.
3. Power down your device.
4. Reboot into the bootloader by holding VOL DOWN + Power.
5. The flashing process should begin automatically.

Give the device some time to reboot and once it does, you will be off to enjoy your weekend with ICS. If you have any questions, shoot them down below and we will do our best to tackle them.

And I thought I would be the only one up to see/post this!

Looks like this is a release candidate, which means it should be pretty darn stable... Go HTC.

And it also looks like if you're unlocked, you have to use the pre-rooted .zip.

Can this be used on a stock Rezound ?

So if you were to update it this way could you go back to android 2.3 if you had to send the rezound back to verizon

It appears so, yes.

It looks like you have to flash the pre-rooted .zip like a ROM. And yes... *looks for Smith* :biggrin:

If you're unlocked, you should be able to revert easily with an RUU as long as your mainver is correct. If you're 100% stock, I'm not sure...


But Smith needs to correct or affirm this info... for me as well... lol

I don't get what the new radios are.
I am thinking of installing this instead of Clean Rom

Also, does this come with bloatware?

I think the rooted .zip was debloated, but the leaked stock build probably has bloat.

640mb? I knew the sense overlay was rather dominant, but jeese. Clean AOSP builds aren't, if any, larger than 200mb. :icon_eek:

Good. I am unlocked so I will install the rooted version.

I read on another site that installing this wipes the phone clean of all apps and storage. Can someone who has actually installed it confirm or deny this?

Don't roms do that anyway?

 

[jntdroid]

I don't know about the debloated .zip, but the full leaked RUU will most likely do that as that's what they normally do.

I think the same will happen when the OTA upgrade is released.
