I think the xda hero wiki has a link to a ruu.zip that you can flash from recovery or maybe bootloader. Its buried in the dev section but its linked in the wiki.

Neither of these methods are working, HERCIMG.ZIP just keep saying No Image! and the second method has no option to restore a nandroid backup that I can see, clockwork only shows backups that it performed itself and wont show the new folder I dropped in there.
Im running stock Hboot and stock radio, what the hell am I doing wrong?

Are you without a pc? If you have a pc and can connect,then go to the Htc website . Download the Htc sync pakage,install it the download the latest RUU and connect your phone and reinstall the RUU should take about 10 -15 mins. You will be un-rooted.
I think there's a Free App on the Market that Claims it Unroots!

[THIS HAS SINCE BEEN RESOLVED...THE RUU FINALLY WORKED THIS MORNING.]
I know... you're probably thinking "you and half of all the people on here tonight" but... I attempted to update to ICS using the directions at the link below and something went wrong. I am always very careful to read and re-read before doing a step but the phone didn't cooperate.
I got down to step 15 and after that it automatically rebooted or something and it seems from there I can't do step 16, 17 and on. I can get to HBOOT but it never asked to update the PH39IMG. I am showing *** RELOCKED *** at the top.
What do I need to do now? Now if I try to boot the phone up I get stuck at the HTC splash screen. Or I can get into fastboot and the computer sees the device.
Link w/ directions I followed: http://www.androidauthority.com/vivi...nse-3-6-63538/
Again, sorry to be "one of those guys" but I'm stuck and, as you can imagine, frustrated that my beloved Vivid is in brick or paperweight form right now...
Seriously, thanks to anyone for your help!
Anyone? I can get into fastboot and send commands from the computer. Can someone tell me what to do next to get my wonderful Vivid back?
Thank you much!

I read elsewhere a response to similar issue was "just run the RUU when the phone is connected" but...will that work?
OK, UPDATE:
I was able to run the RUU this morning and it worked. Not sure why it wouldn't last night but it did this morning. So, ignore this now.

Thought I had done that, guess I got distracted.
Now to figure out root sometime...haven't even searched yet to see if it's available for ICS yet...
A friend of mine tried to root their Vivid using Z4 Root and it appears they were not successful.
The phone is now stuck on a black screen with a green down arrow with a circular green arrow formation around it. http://s13.postimage.org/82qs23ezr/photo_1.jpg
Can someone please give me some guidance in fixing this phone.
Thanks
Relock your bootloader first!
Download the official ics ruu for the HTC vivid. Pull the battery , place it back in and go into bootloader mode ( power and vol down ).
Plug up the vivid to your computer and fire up fastboot
On your terminal type :
fastboot rebootRUU
Start up the official ics RUU for the vivid, follow all instructions, return to stock.
Don't use z4 root on the vivid, its useless. Read the pinned topic that hasoon2000 put up on the all in one toolkit

yes it is the right one and from looking at the pic the bootloader is locked so no need to relock make sure the drivers are installed hook the phone up to the computer and run the ruu this will also wipe the phone making it like out of box stock ics

yeah follow the superguide
Thanks for the quick replies.
I will give it a try and post back if it works.
Will try as soon as this RUU downloads, it is taking forever to download, estimate is 2hours.
Are there any advantages to S-OFF?
Thanks
mines s-on so i would say for me no are you downloading ruu from htc

The last thing I can think to try is pull battery and go back to hboot and try agian if that does not work take it back to att and tell them it messed up while trying to upgrade with the official ruu from HTC sense the bootloader shows locked instead of relocked they should swap it out

When the SHTF, try the recovery project. Z4root is only good for select 2.1 and 2.2 devices. The HTC Vivid comes stock with 2.3+ or ICS.
If you're looking to root if you do decide to go replacement if all else fails, upgrade to ICS when you get the new vivid and follow hasoon2000's guides.
Or try the method below
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium
If you want to give this a shot to restore your vivid, try this out. This is how I recovered a vivid in a similar situation regarding a stalled RUU refresh.
Try to get into hboot using ADB when you see the triangle screen.
adb reboot bootloader, if this fails then type
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Hopefully you got the fastboot hboot screen by now.
If you see the hboot screen then try unlocking your device, if you can without issue then proceed. If it is unlocked continue
Install the ICS CWM for vivid from fastboot ( check the pinned guides on these forums )
Enable USB mode from CWM
Take this time out to retrieve any data such as pictures, videos or files you need to get from the internal sd.
Go to wipe, wipe boot, wipe data then format the internal sd.
Select back when complete, turn off the vivid. Get back into bootloader mode by pressing power and down on the volume button.
Get into fastboot relock the bootloader only if you want a stock ics from the RUU.
If so, then get into fastboot USB mode, open up your terminal/command prompt, navigate to where you keep your fastboot executable, then type :
fastboot rebootRUU
Start up the ICS RUU only!.
I didn't want to risk flashing a custom Rom over the problem I experienced through cwm, but I would have to say that might work also, but mantra is, when all else fails, back to stock.
When finished complete a somersault ninja flip lol.
Huge problems do occur when you try to downgrade back to GB from ICS. Partition changes, etc...
Keep us posted.

Yeah, people think, but that doesn't mean you must write that it doesn't do this or that, as you posted there, that was from another version of Touch Recovery, mention the version so people know this or that, many someone don't mind the mount-usb as there is a workaround, but when they see that cleand dalvik doesn't work or other things, they will surely panic )
For starters it is a good guide, just some polishing here and there

Hi,
It's been about a year since I've messed about with my XL, I flashed it the day I got it as usual, but then a few months later the speaker broke. So I unrooted, re-locked etc, and after spending 10 months psyching myself up to be without my phone for a week, I eventually sent it off for repair. I've had it back a month or so, and got a bee in my bonet last night, and decided to go custom again. I decided to go for Evervolv, and went through the processes again (in a much easier fashion than it was in Nov 11 when I got my phone). Anyway, having made several mistakes, and attempted short-cuts, to eventually go back to doing it the way i did it last time (China ROM etc), I eventually got my phone booting again. It is all working nice (big thanks to the team behind the ROM - love it, and big thanks to Vertigo and Shinger5 for some of the guides), but I had no usable SD card. So more searching and came accross this thread, and got a little stumbled at point 6 of second method (XL Tool). So decided to d/l the JB fix, and side load it. This now gives me an SD card, but only 236kb. I have no idea what I've done wrong, and short of starting again to eliminate the lack of sleep having influence, I don't know what to do.
Any ideas anyone?
I flashed a new rom* today and everything works great except for the internal sd card not able to mount.

Internal SD Card recognized but will not mount!
Hey,
I recently rooted my HTC Vivid (ATT) and installed CyanogenMod version 10-20131006-NIGHTLY-holiday. Everything works fine but I cant get the internal sd card to mount. There is an option in the storage setting that say "mount internal sd card." When I press that it appears as if it is mounting then it Apps, Pictures, videos, Audio(music, ringtone..... etc. Almost right after you press that it goes back to the mount sd card button. I have flashed the boot.img, used the terminal emulator and still have the same problem! I would really really (and just to drive it home) REALLY appreciate it if someone would help me with this!
If you need more info or would like to contact me to help me just email me at [email protected]

so when you boot to recovery, what does it say? Is it TWRP, CWM, WCX?
In all likelihood, you've lost the data on your internal storage. Rignfool has posted a fix for this issue countless times, and a quick forum search should come up with a topic where he outlines how to fix it. It involves mounting your phone via the recovery, and letting your windows computer fix/format the internal SD.

Its WCX. Sorry to be so naive but I looked and could not find Regnfool's post. Could you send a link to a few of them? I dont know if this helps but what I want to fix is the apps that use the sd card. Some apps that I know stored info on the sd card on my stock rom will work but are reset after I am finished using them. So bassically apps with save data half work due to this issue. Once again this is the first time I have ever rooted and installed a ROM so im a "rookie" just needing help.
