First, this is the wrong forum for this. It needs to be in general. That being said, can you list out step by step exactly what you did?

This...but if you're at the white htc screen you're not bricked. Boot to Bootloader/Hboot by removing the battery, replacing the battery, then holding Vol- and PWR until HBoot starts. Does it says Unlocked, Locked, or Relocked? If it says Locked or Relocked, select Fastboot, plug in your phone, and run the RUU. If it says unlocked, then relock from fastboot usb, then run the RUU

Okay, so i've been on and off these forums and never decided to create an account until now. (I know you guys see these types of threads a lot)
I have an HTC Vivid and can't get it to boot. Whenever I try turning it on, it goes into fastboot (I have bootloader unlocked) or HBOOT.
I have tried getting CWM on it, but whenever it reboots, it gets stuck at the HTC logo like when you usually boot.
I can re-lock the bootloader, but it wont change a thing.
Also, when I type [adb devices] my device doesn't show up, but the phone says FASTBOOT USE.
When I try a factory reset, all it does is reboot the phone. Also I do not have a SD card with me.
This is my second HTC Vivid (the first one was rooted successfully with the Illiminati ROM but had a malfunction so I got a new one under warranty)
I have been using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1450396
and this program: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1498003 (which may be the cause to all of this idk)
I would invest in a cheap micro sd. I used the zip from the guide thread to restore mine back to stock (although I believe you have to relock bootloader first) and then try to unlock and root etc after that. I know that may not help if you have no way to get an sd. But they are always handy!

You shouldn't be flashing the RUU thru cwm, it's a program that is ran on the computer

fastboot oem lock is the command.
From there, get ruu.exe, connect phone to computer, run the ruu by doubleclicking on the computer, follow the directions of the ruu program.
From there you can unlock the bootloader using the guides posted and flash recovery, then flash custom rom.

If you've never done fastboot or adb before, my guess is that you are probably running stock. If that's the case, got to htc's website and download the drivers for the Vivid, then plug your phone in and proceed to run the RUU.exe. If the drivers are properly installed, the RUU should detect your phone and update it to ICS (make sure to back up your files as phone storage will be erased as well).
Hello,
I am totally new in this forum. I got my HTC Vivid one month ago. Today, I wanted to root it. However, it was off and never back, no LED when plugging via USB.
I unlocked BootLoader according to HTC's instruction.
Update HBoot with PH39IMG.zip
Create recovery Nandroid with VIVID_CWM_ROOT_VER2.zip
During the process flashing a Kernel in this forum, I type:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
It rebooted and I stuck in a boot loop (HTC logo just appeared again and again)
I did a Return to stock (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416836). But I only succeeded in first step (fastboot oem lock).
I stuck in bootloader loop. The phone just response in bootloader forever.
I did recovery from Nandroid. It performed restore but not work.
Neither did with the factory reset.
I tried with another PH39IMG.zip (~35 MBs), it worked. I got my phone back.
After that, I wanted to recover since I can't connect to wifi.
Start recovery in bootloader, the phone was just dead. The PC recognized a connection (HSUSB). I download the driver (Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008
) but no effect.
I think my phone is bricked.
I will appreciate if anyone can help.

did u update hboot with an unlocked bootloader...thats no good
are u still can access Hboot?
sometimes, u should flash a kernel with ROM to work on it. if you still running Stock ROM, don;t flash MOD kernel like Holiraider. it will couse boot loop.
if u still able to access HBOTT, no need to worry.
@meatwad0222: I unlocked bootloader and updated hboot. It succeeded in rooting the phone. I got problem when I tried to flash a kernel.
@prahasta: I can't do anything. The phone never turned on again, even if I plugged the charger, the LED was not on. Pressing power button with volume down did not work at all. In general, I can't access to hboot.
Hm... It will be difficult.. hope it wasn't couse by hardware.

I had a similar problem..I unlocked bootloader.and flashed a new ROM. I was then stuck in boot loop..it would go all the way to the screen where it says "upgrading android" and would then reboot...the solution I found was to extract the boot image and flash it...then it rebooted normally with new ROM. Hope this helps...

if Bootloop, at least u still can access HBoot, but he can't do that.
try to connect it to PC with Full Battery. then check if your PC still detect it. if PC can detect it, try to flash Official RUU.
My laptop does not recognized it. It said that it can't find a driver for that. I searched in xda-forum and I found the driver. Right now, in the device manager of my laptop, it says Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. I tried to flash an office RUU but it stopped at <waiting for device>
Thank for your replies.
good to hear your laptop still detect the phone.
u need to pick right RUU for your device.
used Hanson tools, choose to unlock your bootloader again (hope this work). after unlock bootloader, and u can acces HBOOT, choose fastboot mode then instal CMW/WCXs recovery. once done, try to access CWM. if u can acces CWM recovery, there is no worries anymore, u just need to instal correct ROM and Kernel.
My laptop only detects the phone as a Qualcomm chip, not as a phone. When running Hasooon tool, it stops at <waiting for device>.
Sounds like it's in dload mode.
If your phone is in dload mode then I think that is a soft brick...it is fixable, from what I read on another thread, but is more difficult...but not impossible..I had to download HTC drivers for my laptop...the following 2 sites contain the files.

I talked to HTC customer service for repairing. After everything was set up, I thought that I lost my warranty since I rooted my phone (in HBoot, it said RE-LOCK"). I will give a try with the "wire trick" in the thread "Juopunutbear S-OFF". Hopefully after wire those holes, I can access to the debug mode and "wake up" my phone. Otherwise, I have to spend $5 more to buy those warranty stickers on eBay and have the phone fixed.
I thought that it would be a jtag, but it was not. I did not succeed. I have to send it to HTC for repair.
I think I know the reason caused my problem. I tried to recover why I was on S-ON. Thus, the firmware will "fight" each other and the hardware will not know what it should do. The result is a software-bricked phone.
When I boot my phone up I'm stuck on the HTC splash screen.
I read before that I can put a file on my SD card and use HBOOT to recover from this. My question is: I want to restore my phone to the factory rom, what file do I use?
AT&T HTC VIVID HBOOT 1.85.0025
are you s-on or s-off? if your s-on you can just flash the RUU and get back to stock. But you dont flash hboot only time you do that is when you s-off and you do it once. But if you get stuck at the htc screen while flashing a rom your probably s-on you need to flash the kernel using fastboot commands. We need more info on your situation

Thanks for the reply. My phone was completely stock, so I take it I was s-on? I'll do more reading on this s-on/s-off stuff before proceeding. Thanks again.

yea its best to read everything a few times. and remember as long as your bootloader is locked you can flash an RUU so if youve never messed with it im sure it is

S-on/s-off has no bearing on this. Locked/unlocked bootloader does. If your phone was completely stock, then your bootloader is already locked, so you can boot to bootloader (hold vol- and power together), select Fastboot, plug your phone into your PC, and run the stock RUU.

Can someone help me get my phone completely wiped back to 110% stock everything so I can attempt to carrier unlock it to AT&T?
I paid for my Carrier unlock codes and want to use the phone on AT&T but nothing pops up to enter codes or anything like that at all...
My phone apparently has no recovery and no rom but hangs booting the rom....
Can someone who already carrier unlocked to AT&T in the USA tell me about the speeds and thoughts on how you did it?

well first youre not supposed to use adb in the bootloader thats what fastboot is for. ensure that youre in fastboot and not hboot mode and if your drivers are installec properly you will see fastboot usb and is you run fastboot devices your device will appear when plugged into the computer. also you dont have to be on a stock rom to sim unlock just have to be on a sense rom.
Thanks I have gone through the tutorials and sim unlocking doesn't work. Its not the same as when unlocking an AT&T or T-Mobile phone when you put in the new sim and it asks for a code to unlock, enter code ----- Done.
So right now my TWRP is frozen basically can't use my touch to use it it's frozen.
Should I just RUU back to 5.0.3.6 stock....?
I just want to enter my unlock code HTC sent me.... Otherwise this phone is literally a Paper Weight.
Thanks
Are you soff?
Hi I installed GSM TWRP on my SPRINT and I can't get TWRP to work anymore it's like frozen to touch input...
I just wanna get SPRINT TWRP so I can disable SIMLOCK in the BOOTLOADER so I can use my AT&T sim with it.
I tried all the RUU's and they sit at "1/5 CHECKING HEADER..."
THANKS
