Not that I know of you need to use the android sdk tools folder to do this.

When you get your pc up and running give me a shout,I'll walk ya thru it.
'S-OFF' is more than just changing your splash screen.
It's also a wonderful recovery and testing tool. With the eng-spl you now have access to fastboot (part of the android sdk, usually in tools folder). You no longer need to boot into recovery to flash things (provided they come in .img format). You also can properly wipe your phone via fastboot. If you ever lock yourself out of recovery, a fix is just a fastboot away.
You also allow for flashing via HBoot also, but with fastboot access it's pretty redundant as HBoot requires a bit more work to get ready.
Pretty much, by going S-OFF with the eng-spl, your chances of a bricked phone are slim to none. As long as you can turn the phone on and access fastboot usb mode, you can get your phone working again.
If you want help with fastboot, simply type fastboot from your android sdk \ tools folder or google it.

I need two things for ics for the vivid

I need the known kernels for this device and a way to flash kernels/boot imgs via recovery (in the same sense that we use flash image GUI but to use in recovery when you can't access a CPU )and we might have this today
I'm mobile and I'm having a hard time getting this done

you cant thats why you need S-OFF without the only way is with fastboot commands.
I have a quick tool that can flash them for you but it does not use the GUI your talking about
S-OFF allows access to ALL parts of the device memory.
Can you attempt to achieve s-off, it seems to be your main concern
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA App
And if you're thinking you can use the developer ICS that was put out there, no amount of kernels we have for the Vivid are going to make it boot.

Not sure if it helps but I know the h-boot version of the s-off device I got my rom from was 1.85.
This rom doesn't work on my raider since its s-on.
I'm thinking if we have someone dump the hboot image (s-off) one it may potentialy work out for the community

OP can you try this in adb
Code:
cd c:\adb
adb shell
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 of=/sdcard/hboot.img
More codes

param1=ext3
param2=EMMC
param1_sdcard=vfat
param2_sdcard=MTD
sys_mnt=\/dev\/block\/mmcblk0p29
cache_mnt=\/dev\/block\/mmcblk0p35
boot_mnt=\/dev\/block\/mmcblk0p22

sdcard_mnt=\/dev\/block\/mmcblk1p1
one might work
or someone can correct with the correct one

[Q] recovery help htc one

hey guys i am new to rooting, unlocking, and installing custom roms, i have one problem i am bootloader unlocked and rooted but when i go to install a custom recovery, it tells me in the command window that it was successful but when i go to enter it, all i see is the htc logo and it says entering recovery but after 10 seconds on the screen the phone shuts off and does it every time, does anyone think im doing something wrong. iu really am stuck on this one and i tried to install both types of recovery.. maybe the root didnt work?????
You don't need root (super user) to flash the recovery. Try again. Make sure htc drivers are installed and the phone is recognized by the computer. Also, you may have had a bad download of the recoveries. Try downloading again. I just used the files from the sticky Q&A thread and my recovery install was very quick and painless. Good luck.

Long hold power and volume down. It should eventually take you to bootloader where you can select boot to recovery and restore a backup. If you don't have one, do an adb sideload of a known working Rom .

[Q] What does this sound mean?

I tried going back to stock with the RUU in one of the how-to videos posted on here. I have done it before no problem but this time when I plug my device into my computer I get this sound.
http : //youtu.be/ 5L9HIh_V0FE
(sorry unable to posts videos so I had to split it up)
I'm not sure what it means all my drivers are installed correctly but ADB won't recognize my phone and I can't go back to stock.
My computer recognizes the phone when it's fully on but not when on the bootloader.
I'm not sure exactly what is happening so any help is appreciated.

It means it isn't recognizing your device. Use the all in one tool found in the Sprint HTC ONE forum to reinstall drivers.

Don't do this with Hansoons Kit. it is worthless. Just install HTC sync as it includes the proper drivers.

Windows 8 has worked with a lot of people for drivers, so that shouldn't be it, however I have the same issue with fastboot and Windows 8 :crying:

I have also tried. I couldn't even get it to flash. I think the biggest problems is that we don't have a 4.2.2 base for the first yet. If we did it would be so much easier. I am still tinkering but I have a wife and three kids keeping me busy so I'm not getting very far very fast.
If you don't get an error flashing then you are further than I have been able to get. I would love to get this working but not sure how much help I can be.

Only a suggestion, but have you tried porting from the " HTC Evo 4G LTE " like devs did for the " HTC One XL " they manage to get a booting Sense 5 4.1.2, which is a stronger chance for this phone booting since there are no kernel devs that will patch up your kernel for 4.2.2.
