ok so my HTC Vivid is unlocked and rooted.
i have s-on
HBOOT - 1.85.0024
microp - 0360
and i have the ics recovery which is the wcxrecovery.
now i want to get ICS. how do i do that? i tried using the RUU but that keeps saying error
and i dont thnk there is an actual ICS rom out there.
you can download the stock ics ruu from htc to use it you have to relock your bootloader
im on a stock vivid rom i dont have any custom roms on my phone
like if i relock it, i dont think itl matter cuz ill still be able to use the stock rom
are you on gb wanting to go to ics if so stock or custom if you want custom go to wildchilds site if stock relock bootloaders hook your phone up to your computer in fastboot mode and run the ruu
http://www.wcxxperia-nce.com/index.php
you need to register to see vivid roms
http://www.htc.com/us/support/vivid-att/downloads/
no i am on a stock vivid rom that i used from an update of an ruu. i dont have any of those like reumraider holikaked, none of those.
so you want stock ics or custom ics
can you provide me a link with both? i would really appreciate it thank you very much!
for now i will do the update that is on my phone apperently there is an update on it. ill see what happens with that and if you can still put the stock and custom ics links please
4th post down and you might want to check but i think the bootloader has to be locked to do the ota update. wildchild has a video in the op in his vivid section ics rom that walks you through all the steps to install his rom

also the ruu will wipe your phone and make it like out of box

Guys, I have my IS unlocked using unlock boatloader , and I never flash any custom rom. How if I do the OTA update which released by HTC? Will it brick my phone? Can I do the update?

As long as you haven't installed a custom recovery to root your ROM, you should be able to install the OTA. If you have installed ClockworkMod or EXT4 recovery then do not attempt to install the OTA.

ARHD for Sense 3.0
Viruous Affinity for Sense 3.5
I've experienced no forced close or bugs in either ROMS.
I stuck with Viruous Affinity for the Sense 3.5 experience. I think Sense 3.5 is superior to Sense 3.0. Also the fonts in Sense 3.5 are smaller and better scaled, in Sense 3.0 everything look blown up.
In Viruous Affinity you also have a "ultrasmooth rosie" option which does stuff like disable the 3D effect in the HTC widgets but keeps 3D rotation. That option boost the fps in transistions A LOT.

The security warning usually means that the main_version value was incorrect for the OTA you are trying to run. Since the RUU for the OTA is out now, there isn't any reason you need to mess with the OTA any more. You can just go ahead and flash the 3.08.405.3 RUU.
Hey everybody; searched for this topic but couldn't find anything so I'm hoping someone can help.
Bell released the OTA update for the Raider today - I downloaded it and went to update - the device powered off as expected, when it restarted and tried to begin the update, it just freezes at a screen that shows an exclamation point (!) in a circle and a little green android.
I'm running the stock rom, but rooted with unlocked bootloader. Does anybody have the same issue and if so, any solutions?
Thanks very much in advance,
-GB
Before you OTA update you need to unroot it and re-lock the bootloader, can you boot into H-Boot?
how do you unroot it? I've been stuck on that step. Re-locking the bootloader was the easy part
I can get into H-boot - no clue how to re-lock the bootloader and unroot the device.
Any chances you can pull the update.zip from your sdcard?
To re-lock the bootloader you should try this tool kit
HTC Vivid All-In-One Toolkit V2.1
To un-root it right after you re-lock your boot loader you should
(And this is straight from the super guide)
- Put the PH39IMG.zip file on a microSD card
- Power down the phone, insert microSD and boot back into bootloader (power button + vol down)
- It should automatically find the zip file and flash the stock image (this includes recovery, system, everything stock.)
And can we use that ph39img.zip on canadian devices too?

Do you need the stock rom?
I'm in the same situation. I rooted and un-locked my phone but am running the stock rom.
I'll try to back everything up before I update it. Woohoo... ICS.

There is a Rogers one as well and it seems that is the one for Canadian devices. The link seems to be down so I will upload my copy.

So you should defiantly revert your Raider back to stock before you do the OTA ICS update to avoid any complications. You should back everything up, however when you restore some of your files from a GB back-up to ICS you might get some errors because some files might not be compatible on ICS.
Here is the link for the Rogers PH39IMG.zip
http://www.filefactory.com/file/zqampvpiw5r/n/PH39IMG_zip
I'm on Bell. Where can I find the stock file?
sounds like he is saying the rogers one should work for us. Hopefully that is the case. although I would think the stock roms would be different due to bloatware
I relocked the bootloader. Do I have to flash the stock Rogers rom first and then OTA to ICS?
I don't get why you'd have to reflash the ROM again if it's stock.
---------- Post added at 11:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:54 PM ----------
Hmm... ok. Ran into a snag. I tried the OTA update, it downloaded and starts the update. It shuts down and reboots into the bootloader and shows
*** security warning *** under the *** RELOCKED ***
Are Bell and Rogers updates the same?

I had also been getting the ***security warning*** when trying to upgrade, without having made a backup of all the bloatware the only thing I could think of was to reflash the stock ROM, and the OTA update worked.

No, just unlocked bootloader and rooted. Although in the last week, I think I lost root because superuser and titanium backup won't work because it says it doesn't have root.
I downloaded the Bell RUU ROM and will flash back to factory and re-run the OTA update.
Will update this thread when I'm done.
thanks for confirming the BM meant Bell Mobility, thought it did but didn't see any hard evidence. i've downloaded the file and will flash and update tonight.
Well, after flashing the Bell RUU, the OTA update ran smoothly and all is updated.
The Sense ROM is still quite the same as the GB sense. Have to clean up all the bloatware and junk that's on the phone now.
Thanks for the replies, everyone. So is there anything special we need to do before we try running the RUU? Again, I'm running stock GB with root and unlocked bootloader, that's about all I've done to the phone so far. Also, will we still have root afterwards?

Since you have HBOOT 2.02.0002, you have unlocked the bootloader and installed a custom recovery to get CM7 installed.
At this point, to flash a new custom ROM, you would simply need to install the ROM using the custom recovery menu. Then after you flash the ROM, you need to manually flash the boot.img file contained in the ROM's zip file using the command:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
As for the Disable Bootloader, the correct term for the Setting is "Disable Fastboot" so that could be why you cannot find it.
This post contains the procedure you need to use to flash a custom ROM. Since you have already done steps 1 - 8 to get to this point, you only need to do steps 9 - 14 each time you want to flash a new ROM.

If you have an unlocked bootloader, the HBOOT screen still shows S-ON, but you can flash a custom Recovery and a custom ROM. How do you think he got CM7 installed in the first place.

No, you should be able to flash it with your current set up. As I said, there are a few users that have installed it on an unlocked bootloader and didn't use BlackRose.

Hey guys, today I was determined to change my CID in order to get the 4.2.2 update as fast as possible. So, I was running 4.1.1 Rooted on a deodexed stock rom. In order to make the CID change, tried to flash with the HTC RUU. Since there is no RUU for O2 germany, I looked my radio version up and downloadaded the European RUU. The Bootloader had to be relocked, and then is when the TRAGEDY happened. I got stuck in Bootloop. I tried everything and every RUU(errors 151, 150, 131 etc) that is out there without any luck. Finally, after about 12 hours of continious trying and screaming, i found the solution.
1) flashed cwm recovery ( did nor recognize my internal storage )
2) flashed TWRP recovery and formated the internal storage (still bootloop)
3) pushed via AIO Tool sideload the latest CM10
4) cryed for about 15 min of happiness.
I am just making this post in order to help other noobs like me who do not want to go to experts that will charge you hundrets of euros/dollars/yens what ever, and make a fool out of you. I hope this helps you. After this I donated a considerable amount of money to the TWRP, CM and AIO developers, since they have done an amazing job creating these tools and they should be rewarded. Think about it and appreciate effort of others.
ps: I am swiss, so pardon my english

Why didn't you just flash a 4.2.2 rom and update your firmware? Much simpler than trying to force an OTA.
