Hello all,
I recently got a notification for a software update (ics!) and I quickly accepted and all.
The download dragged on but eventually completed with no problems... then came the installation of the OTA update which I accepted and it rebooted onto a recovery screen with no status bar or anything indicating that it was updating.
I AM ROOTED.
I WAS unlocked but I "RELOCKED" the bootloader which it stated on the recovery page.
I do have ClockworkMod 5.0.2.7 flashed as well.
If there is anyone who can advise me to get stock ics on this device?
Thanks!
well if you can still get into bootloader, I would suggest connecting it via fastboot from bootloader and running the ruu for ics....

Does my bootloader need to be unlocked to run ruu?
I've never used this method before but sounds interesting.
locked,had to do this earlier on one of my devices

Ah gotcha!
Followed through and everything is running smoothly!
Thank you!
Is it possible to run the RUU when the phone will only go into fastboot and the RUU file is on the computer?
I'm having the same problem.. But when it first tried to install the update it showed a dead android with a exclamation point above him. I relocked the boot loader but now the update boots into the boot loader. It says I'm relocked. I tried several times and it keeps going to the bootloader. I don't have a custom recovery. I tried to flash a stock ph39img.zip and when I rebooted it was just the way I had left it, and now when I try to do the update it says that I'm up to date and to check back in 24hrs. I've tried this several times, I've got the update downloaded.. Not sure what to do.

If you can get to bootloader, and you're locked or relocked, access Fastboot USB and run the RUU from your computer

I can confirm that this worked for me this morning. I was able to get into fastboot/bootloader so I ran the RUU this morning and it was successful (unlike last night, for some reason). I suggest you give this a shot!

The only concern I have though is that that file is the leak.. I'd rather have the official release.

I know. But in the situation I was in I wasn't having any other luck. There may be an official RUU out there, not sure...I had been pointed to this one so I used it. It seems to be working fine on my Vivid but I understand your concern.
Maybe one will be posted soon, if not already.
google ruu 3.26.502.56
Even though the RUU was leaked before being released "officially", it's the same RUU being used. They have not changed RUU version for this update
I found the official ruu from the htc support page. http://www.htc.com/us/support/vivid-att/downloads/
Works great for the most part. Seems like I get a bug here and there where I'll get a white HTC splash screen for a brief second when hitting the home key. I think I've seen someone else mention this some where.

That's rosie or systemui or framework having a hissy fit. weird...i'd probably reflash the RUU just to make sure you didn't have something weird happen

What is this?
This is a PH39IMG.zip that you flash via HBOOT to restore your phone to stock unrooted Gingerbread shipping ROM. This will also remove Clockwork Recovery
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Why should I use this/care?
If you've updated your phone to the Ice Cream Sandwich build that AT&T pushed out OTA, or flashed your phone manually, you may at some point in time wish to go back to Gingerbread.
If you do, you'll find that the PH39IMG.zip and RUU that you would have previously tried to use don't work, since ICS updated your HBOOT.
This is essentially a "return to warranty" kit. This doesn't remove the "*UNLOCKED*" flag on HBOOT, but it will allow you to return to some semblance of stock just in case.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How do I use this?
Your bootloader must be unlocked to flash this.
Download the file, put it on your external SD, and boot to HBOOT. Accept the update when prompted.
If you're trying to return your phone to AT&T for warranty, you should probably also re-lock your bootloader also ("fastboot oem lock")
Please note!
This is not for HTC Raider / Velocity / Generic Holiday users!
This restores the shipping HTC Vivid ROM for AT&T.

Ok, I was stuck in boot loop after OTA, then going to the rooted rom. Could not get it to play nice. Tried this to take me back to GB so I could start over and did the above exactly. After running the update, which appears to work with the little status bar going up and down as it should, it gets stuck at the Hboot screen. (Attached.)
After pulling the battery, it boots to HTC white screen, reboots once, then sticks on the HTC white screen. I can get back to Hboot, but not sure where to proceed from here?

You need to pull the PH39IMG.zip file off your SD card as Hboot looks for it to see if an update is available before it does anything else.

If your bootloader was relocked prior to attempting to flash the RUU or PH39img.zip, then youre doing the right thing.

You must have your bootloader unlocked to flash this image. You can re-lock it afterwords, but you may get a *SECURITY WARNING* in HBOOT, since if you have the new HBOOT, you technically should also have stock ICS.
Until a *working* ICS RUU surfaces, this is as good as it gets.

And that's why I just downloaded and am installing now! Thanks much!!
hey cubed, how are you?
before unlocking bootloader, i flashed the ics ruu so i'm on new hboot and radio,
since i unlocked bootloader and running a wc's 3.5 rom, however i have an issue, when i talk on the phone from speaker, ppl hear their echo, so i'm thinking radio issue, i tried to flash back the gb ruu and no go cuz of bootloader, so i downgraded with the method in OP but it didn't downgrade radio, i tried again to flash gb ruu and no luck, i put the radio.img from the gb ruu into ur zip and now it won't recognize it at all (guessing due to signature) so i'm flashing the stock ics ruu now to see if im gona have the same problem or not. by the way when i flashed ur downgrade zip and loaded, the phone would not connect to any network at all and being a stock rom the option to search for network is greyed out.
so i'm guessing bottom line is im stuck with this new radio since we don't have s-off correct?
is there any way so far to totally downgrade back to the original ship ruu ? bootloader, radio and all ?
thanks

I really don't think it's a radio issue. I believe it's a network issue. I've had an echo on several devices I've used from the original iPhone through iPhone 4 blackberrys inspire and now vivid. But it is not all the time just every once in a while.

yeah i've had it happen randomly before in some phones, but this is consistent every single call for the past 3 days. in different areas, with different people at different times.
i just finished flashing the stock ics ruu and it connected to the network fine and made a couple of quick phone calls and no echo
btw the ppl i talk to hear them selves, i don't hear any echo, it all sounds well on my end. im gona try another 3.5 rom and see what happens
EDIT: just tried holiraider, and it did it. leme see what other roms i can flash
so a quick update, even with a custom sense 3.0 rom, i can't connect to a network at all, it only works with 3.5 roms and i people i talk to have an echo, and only fix is running an ics rom, for some reason when i push the ics ril files into a 3.5 rom i loose all network connections, baseband says unknown and all the phone info except serial number is unknown in the hardware info.
so very strange. so even when using this guide, and restoring the fully stock gb i still cant use the phone
uploaded wrong screenies, i'll update in a sec
EDIT: well i tried again, and flashed thecubed zip and i'm back on the stock 3.0 unrooted, and i noticed that i was able to get the signal up and running when i toggle wifi. by default on first boot its on, so i connected to my wifi as usual, but i dunno why i just turned it off so the network came right up and all was fine with the signal. i turned wifi back on and no problems. i turned it off, no problems. so i restarted the phone, and it won't connect to the network, so i turn wifi on and now i am connected and have full signal. strange, so i wonder if that's due to the radio, or something happened to my phone since i seem to be the only one having those issues
I cannot find an answer to my problem as hard as i look. today, i decided to root my phone (HTC vivid). I rooted it successfully, i went to the Superuser and it said it needed to be updated and to flash a kernel or something like that. (i was using this program http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1498003) I went to the program that i meantioned above and i clicked flash stock vivid kernel, thinking that this was the kernel i had to update or flash or whatever then my phone reboots and its all like Hurr duur im stuck on the HTC screen watcha gonna do about it. I tried many things:
One thing i tried was to do the .zip thingy, with the boot loader relocked, and it wont boot to anything else but the boot loader
i tried also to do the ruu thing, but it kept giving me errors about my phone model or something like that
Can someone please tell me what i did wrong and how to fix it?
i would really appreciate it big time!
Edit: i have an micro sd, if that info helps
I would try to restore it back to stock.
Relock to bootloader if it isn't still locked.
Then run the stock ruu for your phone from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1338919
I had my vivid stuck on the HTC screen and this worked for mine.
Also, If you rooted to ICS you are most likely stuck until the official RUU from HTC is out...

You need to install HTC sync or the htcdrivers before running the ruu otherwise it won't see your phone and will just error out.

1. You obviously didn't know what you were doing. Lessons for next time.
2. If the .zip thingy made the bootloader update and it seems like it managed to flash everything alright, then you need to make sure the zip isn't on any storage connected to the phone, then go from bootloader to fastboot, unlock the bootloader using the HTCDev bootloader unlock procedure (I hope you kept your unlock_code.bin!), then fastboot flash a recovery.img, then boot to recovery from the bootloader, and flash an ICS ROM, then go back to fastboot and flash the boot.img to get the kernel flashed.
I'm guessing that you may have flashed the ICS bootloaders, but you aren't specific enough. What ruu did you try to run, exactly what zip did you try to install?
You didn't do anything wrong, you just didn't complete the procedure.

Well I hope that was a given. BUt I guess I should have listed it. Good point!
If you have an AT&T Vivid, then you should be okay, run the latest ICS RUU and hope for the best. If not, you'll have to do it the old fashioned way through lots of fastboot commands.
thank you everyone!

Hi guys. Im really having a problem with my phone now. I can't update my phone or do a hard reset as I will be directly brought to the fastboot menu with a security warning on the top. When i go back to the hboot menu and try to do recovery or factory reset, the same thing happens.

I've brought my phone to the HTC service centre today. and they are also unable to run the RUU update. So they took in my phone for servicing and they will update my phone when the repair is done.

Guys! Everything is okay now!! I've unlocked my bootloader again to flash a stock recovery, locked my bootloader and did the OTA update. Everything is well now! Thanks for all the solutions!!
Before you guys jump on me, I would like to apologize for just being dumb. Even though that is the truth, may I have some help?
I didn't read the guide on turning the S-Off on my Vivid, I thought all I had to do was run the hason s-off and it would automatically do everything for me. Yeah, I didn't even know about a wire trick (I've already admitted the obvious). My Vivid just boots to the JoupunutBear screen and reboots after about 3 minutes to the same screen. I guess I've bricked my device!:crying:
Is it possible for HTC to remotely restore my Vivid, or do I have to take it to an authorized dealer that repair phones? If so, how much am I looking at? I wished I had left my phone alone, but doing some of the crazy wild and exciting stuff for phones is so cool! I wish I had read that I needed to pin mod something, or else I would not have tried to do S-Off! I just got my phone a few days ago in a trade for my HTC Shift.
I guess this will be an expensive lesson and hopefully I'll read and not think every procedure for different phones are the same.
I miss my Vivid!:crying:

Any tips on which recovery I should use? Preferably with guide, my nerves are a bit tweaked right now.
OK, I just relocked...now what?
Downloaded AT&T stock ROM, downloaded AT&T PH39img. I guess now I'm suppose to place both files on SD card and use HBOOT?

I have to download the RUU and not use the AT&Tzip I've already have downloaded. Seems straight forward, I'll reply back, thanks!
Since I have some time before the RUU finishes downloading, I tried to reflash factory rom using the second method. When I reboot into recovery, it does load the PG file, but it doesn't give me an option to flash anything?
Just a heads up...for me ruu never worked with a unlocked bootloader so if it doesn't work relock your bootloader with the super tool thing in he dev section...just boot into fastboot from hboot and click relock bootloader, then boot back to fastboot and run the ruu

The beginning of step 6 requires you to relock the bootloader. Otherwise, the RUU or PH zip will not work.

Man this download is taking long, I still have 15 percent to go (6 minutes)!
I guess I have to have the RUU for any of this to work, so I'll stop playing around with it before I render the device useless. So I'll be patient since I have 5 minutes to go, then I should be able to perform any of the two methods found in the guide. I'm so glad there are so many here to help me, I love you guys! Don't be too flattered, I love my Vivid more! Once this is done, I'll thank each and every one of you!

I have an AT&T Vivid, I thought the one for Holiday Cingular was the correct one? On the phone it says RUU update failed. So I'll look into it when I get back and try then. For some reason I can't update the HBOOT?
Bye for now!
I bet you can't update the bootloader while it is locked, LOL!

Bye for now!
I bet you can't update the bootloader while it is locked, LOL!
As said...I'll look into it when I get back.

It should work if you re-locked your bootloader... So that isn't the problem. Maybe somewhere during you trying to S-OFF you still managed to change the HBOOT to the unofficial one. If so, then the RUU or PH zip will both probably not work. Somehow you need to get back to the stock HBOOT. You might need to ask in the Juoponut bear thread or contact them directly.

It says I have HBOOT-1.85.0025. I'm back now, so I'll just keep trying.
Congratulations!
Your ROM update has been completed. Your Android phone is now ready for use.
Yup guys, just had to get the right RRU which is the htc_vivid_att_RUU_3.26.502.56_US.exe
Phone is back up and running and everyone is thanked!
Big thank you for all who stood by me during my time of sorrow.
All,
I am pulling my hair out, I decided to root my phone today so I could delete the default APN's, I have tried CWM and also TWRP.
All was fine, as soon as I installed Busybox something went horribly wrong, my phone will not boot up and just displays the "HTC Logo" I can get to the boot menu and boot to either CWM or TWRP. However there is nothing I can do within there, I cannot find a RUU for my model (CID is Orange) I have found a nandroid backup but CWM/TWRP refuses to see it via OTG and I have tried lots of USB Sticks.
I really do not know what to do next, I cannot turn S-OFF as HBOOT is 1.54
What can I do, I have read thread after thread.
Is there a default recovery.img or one for my carrier as I cannot find it.
Many thanks,
Dale
Managed to restore a nandroid, but I have no touch screen!
Tried clearing cache etc, have currently got a mouse plugged in to it to control it, there is an OTA available so going to try that.

Don't try it with a custom recovery. You'll need to relock your bootloader too.
No touchscreen is a firmware issue. The nandroid you restored will be an old one not compatible with the latest firmware..

Thank you for the reply
I've re-locked the bootloader.
What do I do next?, I cannot find a later nandroid backup anywhere

Just for now for the sake of getting a working phone I would just flash a 4.2.2 stock ROM, or Sense-based Rom. You'll need to unlock your bootloader again obviously.

Thanks for the reply, was up till 3am trying to get around this and got it going eventually.
That's what I have done for now, I sideloaded a stock Sense ROM which came with a stock recovery.img, guess I have to wait for a S-OFF for 1.54 if it ever happens.
htc one deleted os
