{CLOSED}[FIRMWARE] [ICS] [4.0.3] STOCK & Rooted (3-3-2012)

I will keep everything to myself from now on.

RELOCK BOOTLOADER
Code:
fastboot oem lock
reboot to fastboot again, and it should say **RELOCKED** at the top
To re-unlock your bootloader, you will need to run:
Code:
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
just like the first time you unlocked it

removed.
i am done. thank you

been through all the issues and sorted them out
will provide help if needed

I can't seem to remember how to unlock? i still have the .bin from the first time, just couldn't remember what to do. Sorry! lol

Alternate Instructions
Please note: this will not work on the RAIDER / Holiday -- only the HTC Vivid for ATT.
The reason is that this requires a HBOOT update, which is specific to the phone, and is signed per carrier.
Copy VIVID_ICS_OTA_ROOTED_CWM.zip to your external SD card
From CWM, flash the VIVID_ICS_OTA_ROOTED_CWM.zip
Put the PH39IMG.zip on your SD card, then reboot to fastboot
Re-lock your bootloader with fastboot, then reboot back into HBOOT
Flash the PH39IMG.zip from HBOOT
Remove PH39IMG.zip from SD card (or remove the SD card so that you can enter fastboot)
Enter fastboot again, and re-unlock bootloader
To get CWM re-installed you can either: a) fastboot flash recovery again OR b) Head to my thread and download the update PH39IMG clockwork installer, put that on your external SD, and boot to HBOOT then install it.

Going back to stock?
Right now, going back to stock Gingerbread or even ICS shouldn't be that hard.
There are two methods:
Restoring to Gingerbread
This can be accomplished by flashing a special PH39IMG.zip
It will restore system, boot, and recovery all back to factory shipping stock.
HBOOT will not be downgraded (not possible).
Go here for instructions/downloads: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23242239#post23242239
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Restoring to ICS
This can also be accomplished, but it will be a two-step process.
First, you would use CWM to install a (soon to be created) update.zip that would install an unrooted stock ICS rom.
Then you will install a PH39IMG.zip that will remove clockwork and flash boot back to stock also.

WTF took you so long, PG?
And why is all this bloatware still on here? I bet you even added CIQ back. Thanks SOOOO much.

Just wanted to add that i finally deleted all the bloat from it 325mb on the ram instead of 385 on stock sense 3.5 :3
I'm very excited cant wait to see how battery life is!
And again thank you PG
And thank you every single person who helped make this possible

Is the boot image flashed when we flash the firmware or do we need to fastboot flash the boot.img that's in the Rom zip?

[Q] Flashing boot.img?

Hey Guys,
I am a noob when it comes to Vivid rooting. I was able to unlock the bootloader and root my phone (S-On). I flashed Virtuous Inquisition and had some problems such as with the Wifi. I read that because I was S-On, I should have flashed boot.img (and that should fix the problem). I am completely stuck as to what I should do right now. I am not too sure how to flash the boot.img or what to do since the rom was already flashed.
I appreciate all of your help in advance

So if I want to flash the rom from scratch I have to flash boot.img, the kernel and then the .zip rom booting always in hboot? Can I flash the wcx recovery after all that?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

I read the same post i think and so did as it said to extract the boot.img from the ROM and then follow the steps descrided as above however now i am stuck on the htc screen boot loop and cannot get out of it even by restoring my backup of the original rom that i made or installing the VI rom again?
How can I recover from this
Running a Sensation XE HBoot 1.27. everything went fine to root and install custom rom, only wanted to fix the Wifi issue on VI 4.0.2!!

you know this is for the vivid

Yeah I know I'm sorry for posting here but this is the only post that is talking about the same problem that I have been having, is the solution not similar?

to tell the truth i dont know have you tried asking in the sensation forum i am afraid i would cause more harm than good i dont know anything about your phone you didnt try to put a vivid rom on your phone did you

OK ,fe, was worth a try, will give the other forum a go. Thanks again

You can copy the ROM.zip file from the RUU to your SD card and rename it PG32IMG.zip and the bootloader will load and install it.

What do you mean it didn't work? Trying to relock the bootloader or applying the PG32IMG.zip after you relocked the bootloader?
In any case, you will need to relock the bootloader before you attempt to run the ICS RUU that you are downloading.

Are you S-ON/UNLOCKED, or S-OFF?
If S-ON, did you flash a custom ROM and now its stuck in a boot loop? If so, you need to manually flash over the boot.img file from inside the ROM .zip you flashed, by using adb/fastboot from your PC.

Try 4EXT
Flash it via fastboot, and does it say that it flashed in the command window? Then reboot to bootloader and try to get to recovery
If that doesn't work try ruu

[Q] Bricked after OTA Update?

Hello folks!
I was running a "google play edition" rom on my phone (rooted/ superuser). Today it said there was an ota update for kit-kat available. I let it go through with the install. For some reason the install failed (I think it was a 'status 7').The phone wouldn't boot (instead of a loading boot animation just blue screen) Then when I went to try to reflash my old rom (I was stupid and didn't have a backup), I got a status 7 error again, and I've gotten one for every rom I've tried to flash (HTC One nexus edition and another one, can't remember the name).
Anyway, I can push and pull files via adb but nothing will install. I've tried sideloading too but that failed also.
I have CWM 6.0.2.8.
Any help would be lovely.

Do you have the recovery in the same folder that fastboot is in?
Is the phone in fastboot USB mode while connected to the computer?
Try renaming it to "recovery" without the quotation marks. Then just use "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" without the quotations.
