Is there a way to return to the Vivid to the stock form that AT&T sells? I know how to relock the boatloader, but I don't see a true, stock AT&T Rom (like with CIQ and bloatware) that I can flash.

In the second post of slapshot's sticky in Vivid Development he explains how to return to stock. It's the RUU that you're looking for. You will have to relock your boatloader for it to work I believe.

So i bought a vivid off of craigslist and the person updated it using the htc website... Now i want to unlock the boot loader and get perm root any suggestions? Im coming from a skyrocket and it was alot less complicated.. would the thread of the noob rooting and unlocking still work on ICS official update?

I am assuming you meant upgraded to ics using htc site.
Follow the guide for unlocking bootloader then look on last page for wild Childs instructions on how to flash recovery. Start with step 11.
Here is that link:

does anyone else see the HTC Velocity 4G on the list?
oh shoot i didnt mean to post that here lol i am so srry
Code:
I have a basics down of flashing roms. My bootloader is unlocked. I have the TWRP recovery.
But I want to S-OFF because it's easiar to flash roms and since I'm going out of the country I need to Sim - Unlock.
I haven't found any clear instuctions on how to S-Off. I'm going to use [URL="http://unlimited.io/juopunutbear.htm"]Juopunutbears tool.[/URL]
I have ubuntu 12.04 32 bit installed. But I'm not entirelly sure what a stock RUU? Is it just a stock 4.0.1 rom? Is there a step by step video on how to S-off and sim-unlock?
Thanks!
DID IT!
59 views and no one said anything? Lol. Just find the S-Off thread in the development section and follow the instructions from the site you are directed to. You will need to revert back to stock using the RUU(.exe). I used Windows for that. It's all on the site

If youre reverting to stock via RUU, relock your bootloader. Run the RUU while connected in fastboot. Use the S-Off all in one located in I think its dev section, no ubuntu necessary, works in windows & has instructions. Super easy

being that we only have one s-off method, hassoon's toolkit was using this method for s-off. It does suck that the toolkit is gone, but everything it did is completely doable without..
In a quest for a customizable ROM that was built upon ICS, I came across Elegancia's Pegasus, and I thought I would give it a try. To my horror, the ROM was incredibly UGLY (no offense) and I decided to reboot into recovery. As I did, the recovery page launched for about a split second before hitting the white HTC Screen of Death. So, I rebooted it, and now I'm stuck in an Elegancia bootloop that won't end.
And so my predicament: I can't recover, nor can I boot. What to do from here? Through the piece of garbage away?
nvm this

You can still boot into bootloader right?
You need to relock bootloader and run an RUU.
To do so boot into bootloader (volume down + power button), then choose fastboot and connect it with the cable to your computer.
On your computer run the fastboot.exe and type the command "fastboot oem lock" without the quotations.
Then find an RUU here:
Holiday RUU's
and choose one of your carrier.
Run the .exe and when its finished you have the stock rom again.
If you want to get a custom rom do all the steps for flashing roms again and unlock bootloader again.
I think this is how it works.
Edit: you will lose your data..

No need to do all that... Fastboot erase cache will fix the issue. Then re-flash your recovery and you are set.
^^
with what problem do you have to use the ruu again? i thought that was needed for bootloop :s lol

And the erase cache fix is newer than that post as well

I have noticed that s-off could be coming soon. But I've got itchy fingers and want to unlock my one
If I unlock the bootloader via HTC dev and s-off becomes available can I change the unlocked to locked again? So this doesn't affect any warranty?

Hi
greetings.
yes that is possible you can revert back to LOCKED. but after you achieve S-OFF
That's good. Had the one x before and unlocked the bootloader n never had any warranty problems but just wanted to be sure if something was to go wrong with this phone I could hide the unlocked :thumbup:
Thanks for clearing that up :thumbup:

Although I enjoy most of what the HTC First has to offer, I think I would like to return it. So, I was wondering if anyone could instruct me on how to flash back to stock and if there was a way, remove the "Tampered" message in the bootloader?

I believe the All-In-One Toolkit in the Dev section has an option to relock the booloader.

No. I've tried Moonshine S-Off 4 times and I can't get it to work. I followed the directions so I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing wrong.

Is there any way you could help me understand why Moonshine isn't working for me? I'm on 1.08, unlocked bootloader, rooted, and I have CWM (not sure if the custom recovery matters). I plug it in with the OEM Cable and USB Debugging on as instructed. However, when I run Moonshine, it goes as far as Test 3 and then it starts running through several rows of dots.
Edit: Scratch that. I figured out that all I needed to do was turn off my Firewall. So, now that I have S-Off, how do I go about flashing it back to the Stock ROM/Recovery?

As a followup to this, does anyone have a copy of the stock recovery? It looks like the OTA updates don't work with CWM.

Since you have s-off I don't know why you want a stock ROM/recovery. Either the v1.08 or v1.04 zips will install with CWM (not TRWP last I tried). http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=Myst

Hey guys im new to the forum, i got this phone from ebay, its just what i need, btw i like dev so maybe thats why i picked a htc, well the thing is i installed jmz's kernel amazing stuff but i wanted to go back to stock kernel to try differents roms, im s-off with ub and using cwm, i tried to compile the kernel source (i use ubuntu 13.04) with no luck at all, it looks like its about the toolchains, but well is there a kernel that i can just install it with cwm as a zip?
