Hello,
After the OTA update, my Vivid doesn't want to turn on at all. When I connect it to USB I get QHSUSB_DLOAD and nothing happens.
Any ideas ? Thank you !
Your phone is done. There is no way to fix the problem beside getting a new phone.

I wouldn't say that. Since the chipset could be written, it is not completely dead. Sensation users have already found a fix for this, but it is a different chipset.
We don't have the files needed to recover. Either you need to get it replaced under warranty or insurance.

Which OTA update? As far as I know AT&T and Telstra are the only two carriers to have released their ICS update OTA. If you're actually on Voda in Romania I don't know what would have possessed you to try installing one of those two OTAs.
..
The phone is from AT&T. It didn't have any sim card in it when I got the update.

yeah man theres no way sorry. at least for now.
to be honest, ur best bet is to call htc service and warranty and see if you can ship it to them
http://www.htc.com/us/support/service-and-repair
i've sent them many phones for repairs under warranty, and all but 1 didn't get fixed for free
Does it vibrate if your try to do the bootloader combo?
No. It doesn't react at any keypress.

Serious Help Needed
Hello everyone. Sorry to even waste your time, but I am in need of help with my HTC Vivid. I am on an unrooted, locked bootloader, and I have been trying to upgrade to the newest ICS OTA update that I missed with the dialer code.
I have downloaded the PH39IMG.zip, and it updated my HBoot to 1.85.0024. This is where I am stuck. The phone will only show HTC on startup, and then goes black. Again I am on an unrooted HTC Vivid. Any help would be hugly appreciated. Please help out a simpleton.
Thanks for your time.
Unlock the bootloader in fastboot.
Flash recovery in fastboot
Flash boot in fastboot
Flash Rom of your choice

Did you run the PH39IMG file twice? it needs to run the file twice to complete updating the HBOOT. In any case, and this goes for all who are not very familiar with Vivid flashing, USE THE RUU!
In your current state, try to boot into bootloader (you probably already know the process, but it is power + vol down from power off state) Once you have booted into bootloader, you can proceed and upgrade to stock ICS. If you decided to run custom roms after, it is easy and much much less likely to brick your phone.
Hallelujah
Thanks so much guys. Those were helpful tips, and I have ICS running now. Thanks again. Have a good one.

I've tried every guide, and every step twice. I can't get past the white HTC screen. I can get into the bootloader, and recovery screens.
Just don't know where to go next.
very frustrated, and not looking forward to an hours drive to the tech area to get it fixed.

hi enter to the bootloader - fastboot and make it lock with this command ( fastboot oem lock ) and then download and run roger ruu stock
(http://hotfile.com/dl/145619873/245....77.551061.02L_release_219561_signed.exe.html)
like that it should be back to the stock.
Well I'm not entirely sure why it worked this time - lord knows i tried every combination of commands at least twice.
I'm back at setup for Rogers - guess I'll have to learn to live with the low volume issue - which is what prompted me to look for a root to begin with.
Thank you for the assistance at least getting me back to square 1
Boot into fastboot, and flash stock kernel. Or flas recovery to install Rom. guess u'r in bootloop. Cmiiw

Hi Guys,
I have a problem where my internal earphone stopped working after flashing the kernel to a different one. still on the stock ICS ROM though.
Would this download put me back to stock as well. I am running a HTC Velocity (Vivid).
I know this is a noobish question just literally plucking straws here now. been trying to get the earphone working for a day now.

Go to recovery and plug it in. Run ADB and type adb devices. It should say
"List of devices attached"
*Serial number below*
If your serial number pops up it's connected. If it doesn't then it could be your drivers aren't installed. I had that problem and downloading the drivers again fixed it.

You would need the RUU.exe for the Vivid. Not the Raider.
http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-vivid-att/software-updates
Underneath "HTC Vivid™ for AT&T ROM Update | 03.22.2012" click read more in green. Go to the bottom and click download. That is the ICS stock RUU for AT&T Vivid.
it worked
It worked. It break the screen loop. First I relocked. The RUU install the ICS. Now at hboot show: S-ON RL
Could you please tell me what next? I am terrified to get back to the past loop... haha

Today I attempted to root my HTC Velocity, I'm with Telstra and my phone was running an original Telstra version of Ice Cream Sandwich.
Now when I try to start my phone it gets stuck at the white HTC screen. I am able to get into HBoot (I also wasn't able to disable the NAND security) and Recovery. Unfortunatley I didn't make any sort of backup in the recovery program.
I know there are plenty of warnings and its my stupid noob mistake for messing around with my phone when I didn't know what I was doing but at the moment I'd really appreciate if someone is able to help me.

I hope this help.. .I had the same issue. .sometimes if I hold the power button for a while the cellphone power on normally, but a couple days ago It stuck at the HTC screen. .I opened and released that if I pushed the front camera connector it runs correctly. ..After that I had to use a small welder. .if u need more details just let me know. .
Hey Everyone,
This is something that i'm not quite sure on how to fix, but i've given it my best "Apple owner" attempt. I've just moved to the Velocity from the iPhone so I'm still getting used to how this android stuff works.
Basically, I sent my Velocity away under warranty because the internals shorted out. The phone came back, working brilliantly, until I wanted to use it as a Hotspot. When i turned the Hotspot on, the phone locked up and as a result the WiFi is stuck on "Turning-on Wifi". This occurred after running the OTA update from telstra, taking the software number to 3.44.841.3.
The phone says that the WiFi and Bluetooth MAC Addresses are "Unvavailable"
I have tried factory reset, clear storage, some "WiFi fixing" apps, downloading the RUU's and doing a little bit of research and I've had no luck. The RUU's complain that the version of the Bootloader is too new..
There could be something really simple that I need to do to fix this, but i'm just not sure. Can anyone help me?
is your phone rooted? Unlocked bootloader? If the phone is basically stock, then you probably are best off contacting your vendor.

it's not rooted, neither is the boot loader unlocked...i just got it back from my vendor...i don't really wanna be without it for another 6 weeks....is there a way i can flash an RUU to it? Eventhough it says the version of the boot loader is too new?
Good day, I have a HTC velocity 4g running on ICS 4.0.3, rooted. Unfortunately, when i tried to view my recorded videos in gallery, it keeps on crashing saying "Unfortunately, view video has stopped". but i can record and take pictures with no issues, and also i discovered the stock music player also crashes, also saying " Unfortunately Music has stopped", can somebody please help me as this is very hassle on my part. I just bought this phone from a pawnshop. I tried hard resetting the phone 3 times but still the error appears, and also when i bought this phone it is already rooted. I hope someone expert here can help me, im a newbie in android. Thanks in advance for the help and god bless.
Moved to Q&A
Get an ruu from HTC website and run it...
It will return your phone to stock and hopefully fix your problem...
Just make a back up of your media that you have on your internal sd

RUU = ROM UTITLTY UPDATE
basically a stock rom update for the a carrier/manufacturer
eg:
Official AT&T Vivid ICS RUU from HTC http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1564776&highlight=ruu&page=3
[STOCK] RUU_HOLIDAY_ICS_35_S_BM_ for bell mobile http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1662390&highlight=ruu
If you have a Velocity, you probably don't have ATT.. so don't use that RUU. here are all the Holiday RUUs (http://www.filefactory.com/f/002b74e0f4775869/) (thanks @Football)
Oh i see, so I need to download a RUU to update my velocity? do i just need to connect it with the usb cable after downloading the RUU? Thanks for the help. Its really mind boggling for me to understand any customization or upgrading a phone. Thanks for the help

if i remember correctly.. in order to install a RUU
You must have a locked boot loader ( locked by default) , so you need to check if yours is unlocked , which I suspect it is since rooted.
I think u will also loose ROOT.
after you run the ruu , its easy to relock the bootloader and root

Hello Forum..
First, I'd like to acknowledge the great All-In-One tool posted for this new phone. I have been rooting Android since the HTC hero and have always trusted this site for development info. That being said...
I am having problems with my brand new HTC one... After using the All In One tool, my booloader is unlocked, but above the "Unlocked" info is says "Tampered". Also.... I cannot flash the TWRP so I can boot to recovery. After the CMD screens, is says flash is successful, but when I try and boot to recovery, I get the HTC screen with the pink font saying "Entering Recovery" but then my HTC One just shuts off. I then have to hold down the power button for at least 45 second b4 the phone turns back on.
1. What did I do wrong, and can this be fixed??
2. I see I can re-lock bootloader with tool, but there is currently no Factory RUU for Sprint yet????
3. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

Wow....thanks for the fast response... I have been trying to flash the TWRP several times... but it just wont boot to recovery. My phone just hangs and then shuts off. Then I get the "Sprint" splash screen and start-up
Did you have any insite on why I get the "Tampered" indication along with the "Unlocked"??
Im assuming its because youve flashed twrp. Mine says the same.

Hi CPTHook,
I got similar kind of problem in my HTC one. I'm not that technically sound. I simply updated my HTC One's softwares over wifi and after working well for four five days my HTC One (M7) sudden;y stopped working. It gets struck either on start screen or bootloader when I start. There are two flags:
**Tampered**
**Unlocked**

My phone is kind of dead since 4 months. Please help me out. I'm very sad. I'll be very grateful to you for this.:crying:
