As the title says, has anyone updated to ics, with a raider yet?
if so what rom did you use?
Thanks
I'm still work on it. To find wich room suit the best, just trial and error. But, if holiraider 4.o ready, I'h no doubt to used it as my daily Rom. Waiting for bananacakes finish his cake ;D

finally S-OFF and running Dark Raider 1.2.
S-Off and running Dark Raider 1.2 also. Everything is running well. Didn't have to add any apn's in manually which I always find as a plus. Only other rom I tried so far was the ICS for HTC Holiday, installed nice and seemed very smooth. Using Kozmikkernal for the kernal with Dark Raider right now.
I just got this phone today traded it for a T-mobile Lg G2x and boy am I glad I got rid of that phone but before this phone was able to get S off was you still able to flash roms. I currently got the bootloader unlocked and ready to put cwm on it but do you really need S off I seen the method and a little nervous to try that procedure at the moment I usually try to read as much as possible before doing things I have also been rooting my phone's since the Mytouch 3G so I'm not new but not an expert neither.
you don't need s-off, if you have s-on you just have to fastboot the boot.img separately from a computer, then install the rest of the zip from recovery, S-off makes it possible to flash the rom's as one step through recovery.
I haven't bothered with s-off at this point, I don't feel like peeling the VOID sticker off to open the contact cover
Thanks I understand now but would you happen or any one on stock ics rom can help me with the things. First how do I change the short cuts on my lock screen I had a Mytouch 4G which ran sense so I remember all I had to do was go to personalize then display then lock screen style and choose setting when I find the lock screen I want and I could pick the short cut I wanted I some how put a app on my short cut screen I downloaded and it's completely useless and I can't figure out how I did or how to change it. Also where is the menu to download 3rd party apps when I try to download a app from astro file manager it takes me to the security screen if I remember correctly it was under manage apps.

as long as u own VIVID, no need to S-OFF,
S-OFF woth for RAIDER user like me, coz we don't have ICS Official RUU right now.
if raider user wanna taste ICS, we need to S-OFF the device ^_^.
So i have Velocity which means i don't need S-OFF right?
First i understood it's just useful because you don't have to flash the kernel (i think kernel=boot.img ?!) separately?
Or is it just that S-OFF makes it possible to Update hboot without official Update?
Sorry, but i'm a little bit confused about all that. Really want to flash my Velocity but i want at least understand the basics and not just following step-by-step...
actually, i'm ittle bit confued too b4. simply like this, u'r runiing GB right now,then wanna get ICS, you don't need to S-OFF if u'r ROM have Officiall ICS RUU. u can flash custom ICS ROM with unlock bootloader and recovery installed.
Velocity and Vivid already announced have ICS RUU official, but not for RAIDER user.
to get ICS on Raider, we need to flash our current Gingerbread to Gingerbread RUU from provider such as AT&T, coz they already have ICS offcial Update. then Update it with Official ICS RUU from the same Provider.

If I am correct I can install a Custom Rom with out turning S-Off if I install a extra image. Am I correct on this or do I need to turn S-Off to use custom rom. I been trying to try and read everything I can but getting a little lost on the custom rom. I have turned off the Bootloader from HTC Dev and Rooted. Also I have CWM installed can I install a Rom like I would with a Samsung. Ex. Log into the recovery and point it to the zip I want and install and reboot or is there a step I need to add as I do not have S-Off. Thanks for the help.
Have a look in the superguide, it has all you need to flash roms You can flash custom roms with your setup with cwm, depends on your HBOOT (when you fastboot flash things). There are steps in the superguide, you may have to update it

Think I got it.
You need S-Off if you going from a stock GB rom to a ICS rom. Now if Rogers ( My Provider ) updates to a ICS rom then I will not need to have S-Off to put a custom rom on my phone. My Next Question is - Is it possible to update my phone to a AT&T stock ICS rom. Then from there update to a custom firmware ICS rom. With out doing S-Off. I know for samsung you could put AT&T roms on a Rogers Phone and all you had to do was fix the APN. Is this the same as HTC.
Ah, sorry, misread the 'Rogers' part... I'm pretty sure (someone with more knowlege should verify this...) you can't, something to do with the region/carrier which I think is the HBOOT is not compatible with any other roms from other regions; I remember reading a post from bannanacakes and he said something along the lines of not being able to get ICS until either his carrier provided it, or until s-off came along... I'm 99% sure you do need s-off to get ICS... sorry, wish I knew more, I'm in a bit of a hurry, so no time to read more, will add to this after a bit of a read
EDIT:
ah, here you are, this is if you want ICS on Rogers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1612685
[Guide] ICS for All htc holiday
And it does confirm that you do need s-off :/
Thanks that gives me some stuff to think about. I may wait for the Rogers ICS.
I would like to know, I'm using a rogers HTC Raider LTE, is it possible for me to download a stock at&t ics ruu and install it on my device then flash a custom Rom and still use my rogers sim? Thanks in advance

I just did it with my rogers raider and it was no big deal. you dont have to take the phone apart..just the little door next to the sd card.
also, the tutorial suggest you hold the wire for 1.75 seconds however i tried this about 4-5 times with no success. finally, I found another post that recommended hold for one second, then release then hold for one second, release (total time for the whole hold release thing being slightly over two seconds). This method worked the first time for me.
finally, the only way for me to get from the stock GB rom to a custom ICS rom was to use the att RUU's to first get a stock ICS loaded(followed the ICS holiday for all guide). I tried flashing inquisition before doing this and it would just bootloop after the virtuous logo. Now im golden!
Hope this helps

Is there a beats audio belt in, as in at&t build?
Question
Sorry for the dumb question, but I'm guessing this is the flashable zip by recovery same as any other ROM right?, has any one tested this already??
Thanks!
This file is the OTA update file you will get only when you have Bell's stock GB ROM already installed on the Raider. It is not a complete ROM, and if your CID is not BM___001 it will not let you update.
There is no Beat Audio in this ROM.
any luck getting this installed on a stocked rooted bell raider?
I don't really want to wipe again, buddy of mine tried by locking bootloader removing superuser but it failed.
If you are rooted, with unlocked bootloader, and SuperCID your phone, the update will not apply properly, it will even display a message saying your phone's software has been modified and stops right there.
You will probably have to start fresh again.
I managed to flash it on Roger's Raider (to use on Bell).
I was gonna write a tutorial but wasn't sure how many will actually need it the exact same way I do, here is the short version of what I did:
I was already using AT&T ICS (already have s-off, supercid, etc)
1) in fastboot, change CID to BM___001
2) in fastboot, relock bootloader
3) in fastboot, flash Bell GB RUU
4) boot into OS, update to ICS (right from "System Updates" in settings)
5) in fastboot, unlock bootloader (you will need a new unlock bin, the old one from GB didn't work for me, follow the steps at HTCDEV again)
6) in fastboot, flash custom recovery and change CID back to 11111111 if you want
7) boot into the custom recovery you just flashed, and flash supersu package
8) profit.
That's what I did anyway... let me know if anyone wants a longer version of this.
thanks but i have a stock Bell with S-ON and its just rooted. My buddie already got ICS by lock the bootloader and flashing the Bell GB RUU, but i'm looking for a way around itso i don't have to start over.
Nandroid ??

If you are SuperCID (11111111) you dont have to put it back to BM___001. Just flash the RUU than flash the zip. That's what I did and it worked. i was also under ATT firmware.

Thank you soo much. I didnt want to install it just to get a "base". The last time I tried to cook a ROM was for a SGS, and by the time I could cook anything, the seasonsed devs beat me to it 4 times overs. Developement is slow/scarese for this device so I might have a chance this time. It's gonna time me 9 hours to download the damn thing though

I definitely will. I'm actually ripping through it now. I think I will make a base Bell Rom with root busybox and de-odex first. then add tweaks and such. I don't get much time to "play" with it much as I work full time and have 3 young kids. but keep checking the dev forum for a new Rom ;-)

really sorry for starting a new thread but i've been searching like crazy and i have not found anything like what i have to deal with.
So the phone WAS a stock rogers Raider, sim unlocked when i bought it. Everything was okay until i started messing around with it.
What has happened to the phone:
I used hasoon's kit to unlock the bootloader and gain root access, along with rom manager and cwm because i wanted to download an ics rom for my phone. well the VERY NEXT DAY the stock ota update for ics came out for my phone, and when i tried to update it the official way it would get stuck on the htc screen until my battery completely died beyond repair, so 2 weeks later when the new battery came in the mail, i was still rooted and on 2.3. I learned after that the ota updates do not work on my rooted phone for some reason, so i tried to install an ics rom through clockworkmod recovery, and now when i try to boot my phone it gets stuck at the htc screen and doesnt do anything more, but using power and vol. UP i can still access hboot, which says "unlocked with s-on" ive tried to hit "factory reset" but it still wont boot.
If possible, what i would like to do to the phone:
Completely restore the phone to stock, locked bootloader, unrooted, and to a stock gingerbread so i can install the ota ice cream sandwich update.
I know i'm asking for a ton of help but please hear me out, im honestly getting depressed because of this darn phone.
Also, please use words as simple as you can because im really not the type of person who shouldve even started with all this stuff!

Use the guide in my signature. It's step 6. Basically what it entails is relocking the bootloader (an OTA, RUU, PH zip all won't work with an unlocked bootloader), then running the Rogers ICS RUU for your device (the link for that is in the guide). The RUU does the same thing as the OTA. That's the easiest way to do it. No need to mess around with going back to stock GB and all that. You can go straight to stock ICS if you re-lock your bootloader and run the ICS RUU.

You need to read before you jump the gun and mess around
First of all you can't be rooted and you can't have an unlocked bootloader for official updates/ruus
Second you can't flash ics unless you are s off and get an ics hboot
Here's the fix,
1) download the ruu from HTC website...I can try and find a link later
2) boot into hboot then fastboot
3) run the tool kit and use the relock bootloader option
4) if your phone reboots just go back to fastboot
5) if your bootloader now says relocked then just run the ruu

Thank you both for your replies, i absolutely agree i really regret doing this, a link would be greatly appreciated too. and i just relocked my bootloader and it says "relocked security warning" so i guess its relocked, and finally how would i run the ruu? Im really sorry for being so clueless
The ICS Rogers RUU is here. Just boot into hboot and run it on your computer.

okay thanks so much, it always says "All free download slots are in use" which is strange because it only says that when i try to download the rogers ruu. i guess i just have to wait.
*update*
okay one more annoying question i promise. if i download gingerbread ruu from hotfile, i cant post the link but from another thread it works, and by doing what you said, hboot, plugin to computer and run the .exe, can i then upgrade to 4.0 by using the ota?
When i re-locked my bootloader, to confirm i went into h-boot, and it should say "Re locked bootloader".
But follow slapshot guide to the tee and you'll be good.

ok i have made a mess of my phone and am hopping that someone can help me sort it out. i am newbee to this.
i bought an htc m8 on sprint from ebay and shipped it over to ireland. so in order to try and sim unlock it so i could use it on networks over here i did a small bit of reading (not enough as it turns out). i unlocked the bootloader and flashed twrp recovery for sprint. i then downloaded a new rom thinking that it would also unlock my sim. i wiped my phone system before flashing the new rom but forgot to make a backup of my stock rom so there is no going back for me to that. so the way i sit at the moment i managed to get cm12 nightly to work its rooted with s-on.. i tryed using sunshine to s-off but it tells me i need to install a rom closer to stock. any rom i install wont work and i just boot back into bootloader.. i would like to get s-off if thats posable now and also install a rom that looks more like htc stock with sence on it...
thanks in advance
If you go to the HTC dev website, you can download an RUU to get back to Stock sense. Then after that you can S-Off and root and do all the other stuff you wanted
