can you get into hboot/fastboot? if you can then use the HTC Vivid All-In-One Toolkit to flash a recovery (cwm)
if that doesnt work the use the HTC Vivid All-In-One Toolkit to relock the bootloader (assuming its unlocked)
once bootloader is relocked flash the HTC AT&T Stock ICS RUU in order to flash the ruu you must first download it on a pc, make sure you have htc drivers-then run the ruu like you would any other pc program...it will walk you through the rest of the way...if for some reason you cant download the ruu from the link above, i got the link from here http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-vivid-att/software-updates
let me know if any of that worked and/or didnt work...

i ran the ruu, rooted again and i am still s-off, can u tell me how to proceed

Hello,
I have the same issue, but with option S-ON. Today I UNLOCKED bootloader with HTC Vivid All-In-One Toolkit and bi-mistake I flashed NEW ROM from SD card...then it started rebooting all the time. What should I do to get my OS back on my Vivid. Please help...

Have you reflashed the boot.img?

S-on usability

Since I don't have the patience to do S-off, I was wondering since my Vivid is already unlocked / rooted how hard it would be to install a custom rom? I already have WCX recovery, btw. I googled but could not find any instructions on installing a custom ROM with S-on. I want a de-sensed rom or Elegancia ROM. Can I do this with s-on, and how?

Google my signature their roms are for s-on
wcx experia-ance rom

Use holics Rom I used it when I was S-ON and it worked great just flash the boot.IMG in fastboot and your good to go

You can use Elegancia Rom while being on S-ON you just have to flash the boot.img via fastboot. When I was S-ON that is what I did and no problems at all. If you have any questions please feel free to pm me will be glad to help anyway I can.

S-off isn't that hard. Takes maybe 10-15 mins tops so long as you read everything thoroughly and follow the instructions to the letter.

I managed to get Elegancia ROM on it no issues, (Even without doing the fastboot boot.img flash? it's weird. I still get the AT&T bootscreen and Beats screen, but boots to the rom) Only the battery life is HORRIBLE! I didn't even get 12 hours on a FULL CHARGE! Wifi, GPS off.. only background apps running were Facebook and Gmail. Screen brightness was all the way down. I did try a battery calibration, before hand.
Also... How do I do the fastboot flashing? I hate to sound like a noob, but I did have an Inspire 4G which was easy to flash roms on

You need to download and install fastboot and possibly adb. Google it.

[Q] HTC Vivid S-OFF?

Has anyone used the HTC vivid S-OFF tool kit from the same guy who made the all in one tool kit?
What's the process for making my device s-off? Do I have to re-flash recovery and my rom again after or can I just do the s-off process, reboot and I'm done?

Yes after gaining s-off you have to unlock your bootloader, flash a recovery, and flash a rom

i'm sorry i should have been more specific. the boot loader is already unlocked, i have a recovery installed and I'm running the PAC-MAN Rom.
I'm just wanting to know if I'll need to redo all that again after i S-OFF? When i originally unlocked the boot-loader it wiped my phone, so that's why I'm asking if this process is similar.

You may... you may not...
I didn't even lose my SD card contents... though most do

I had to and i also had to fix my sdcard after ... Cant remember how i did it but WC helped me with is that is all i know

It seems like s-off may be too much hassle for what it's worth. It would be nice to update roms without having to flash the boot.img in adb though. I guess I'll just deal with it

Or you can just install Flash Image GUI from playstore and use that to flash boot.

Can anyone post a link which can download the all-in-one S-Off tool kit?
I wanna s-off the HTC Vivid and send it to my wife.

And when I touch screen phone would freeze and reboot.so I restore. What do I have to do to run jellybean ?
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda app-developers app

please read the stickies in the dev forum. in order to flash ics or jb you must flash the RUU if you are running gb. just flash the ics RUU and flash whatever jb rom you want after

I'm having a similar problem, but i just dont find the right ICS RUU to flash it seems.
I live in austria, have the htc velocity 4g, with 2.3.7 gingerbread.
Bootloader tells me:
*** UNLOCKED ***
HOLIDAY PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.85.0023
eMMC-boot
Feb 1 2012,01:02:37
what i did for now:
i unlocked the bootloader (with htcdev), put on the twrp-recovery (2.4.4.0) (with hasoons-tool) and also tried wcxrecovery.img (for BoRKed)
wiped it clear, installed the cm10 [cm-10-20130310-NIGHTLY-holiday] and gapps / later BoRKed
since i am s-on i ran the "fastboot flash boot boot.img" command.
And the result is the reboot-cycle (cyanogenmod10 - with freezing short after the pin-code / permanently rebooting with BoRKed).
I read through the forums and found out that i need a newer hboot (ICS) to be able to install Jellybean ROMS.
as mentioned before, i think that i should lock my bootload and flash the right ICS RUU like told in the vivid-developers-forum.
i tried out the htc_vivid_att_RUU_3.26.502.56_US.exe but it told me [error130] wrong model, so i couldnt finish the RUU.
the wire-trick for s-off is a little bit scary to me, so i didnt try that for the time being.
so, for the time being i am a little bit out of clues and would be very glad if somebody could help me out with the right version of the RUU i should flash (and where i could get it) or am i completely off track here?
thnx, joe

Don't you flash the boot.IMG before you flash the ROM?

the step-by-step written guide from hasoon2000 (link) tells me to do it after i installed the ROM.
Now go back and press install. Go to the folder where the ROM you downloaded, is located in. Select the ROM and slide the screen to flash it. After it flashes, press the back button. Press Reboot and Reboot into bootloader. Open the ROM you downloaded from your computer. You should see boot.img. Extract it to your computer. Open my toolkit and press Flash a Kernel. Locate the boot.img and it will flash it.
After it flashes, press reboot from the phone.
Congrats! Enjoy your fully working or borked ROM! Remember, DO NOT ASK FOR ETAs, DO NOT BUG/PM A DEV ABOUT UPDATES, and BE RESPECTFUL TO THE DEVELOPERS!

Don't use twrp 2.4.4...

oh, but right now i found it just the other way around.... in the

(Optional) Flash a custom Kernel/Recovery (Three options, I suggest the THIRD)
*ATTENTION* IF FLASHING A KERNEL FOR A NEW ROM YOU WANT, YOU MUST FLASH THE ROM IMMEDIATELY AFTER FLASHING THE KERNEL WITHOUT BOOTING UP, THE KERNEL COMES FIRST. OTHERWISE, YOU MIGHT BOOT LOOP.

kernel flash first and then rom (with trwp-2420 recovery) led to the same boot - freeze - cycle with cyanogenmod10 as described before...
i still think that i have to flash to an ICS RUU first, but i just need a working one (without the 130 model-id error)

The model id error is because you're trying to flash a Vivid RUU to a Velocity. You'll either need to s-off and super CID, then you can run whatever RUU you want, or you need to get the correct RUU for your device. I was pretty sure that 1.85.0023 and 1.85.0025 were bootloaders that came with ICS though. Maybe I'm remembering wrong about that, but I thought that the first ATT leak had .0023 and the official release had .0025
please run this (from fastboot USB) and reply back with the return
fastboot getvar mainver
(I have the Telstra ICS RUU uploading now if that's what you'll need)
Edit: Here is RUU_HOLIDAY_ICS_35_S_Telstra_WWE_3.25.841.4_Radio_3.02.4740.09_34.20.701040.19_release_246698_signed
Also - if you'd like to try this before any of that, it may work as well (others have had success). From fastboot USB:
fastboot erase cache
Now flash recovery, ROM, boot.img (from my experience, it doesn't matter if the boot.img is flashed before or after the ROM, as long as it's flashed BEFORE trying to actually boot the ROM)
(note that if the problem is your bootloader version, this won't work.)

Camo has a ruu index too.. I think in dev thread
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2

mainver: (shows nothing...)
CID: VODAP120
i gave the telstra ruu you uploaded (thank you very much) a try, but it also gave me the model-id-error.
do i have to flash the recovery back (where do i find the stock-recovery? in the backup?), i am always using the twrp242-recovery now.
i tried the steps you wrote down with the same result (boot-cycle).
i think i will have to give the "s-off and super CID" as u mentioned before a try and then use the telstra-ruu. i read that this worked out for some guys in germany. i will do this on saturday, i need to be fully concentrated to do that, not next to work...
thank you very much for now!

One other thing.. you are relocking your bootloader before trying to run the ruu, and you're trying to run the ruu from fastboot?

Radio update?

I'm a noob so go easy. My wife has a stock HTC one and I'm rooted with s-off running viper rom. Recently there was an OTA radio update. My question is, can I pull the radio from my wife's stock ONE and push it to my Viper ONE? If so, can someone give me the ADB commands....

Sprint One Stock 1.31.651.2 Rooted / Unrooted / Firmware / OTA Package
I've been through that whole thread and no one gives an answer to my question. All I want is the radio, someone said they tried a radio update with adb but didn't think it worked and no one gave a yes or no whether or not that would work. That's what I'm asking in the Q&A forum.

I think you need to fastboot one of the provided zips, there was reference they are signed. The s-off without the bootimg and hoot were no issues for me, think if you exclude the other stuff in that one, it will work, but might set up for an issue on next update. More will come the next few days, better to wait until ironed out, usually there are a few that brick until the firmware is better understood.
Anyway, the soff, no hoot, no bootimg did not cause any issues, extra flashes, or having to reload rom.
Sent from Taptalk on HTC One on some awesome custom Rom!

It's not fastboot per se, I'm pretty sure you have to flash new radios on the One with the RUU command (which I can't remember for the life of me, I think it's fastboot rebootRUU and then you can flash radio).

You have to flash one of the firmware zips and then either restore your backup, reflash the rom, or reflash your kernel if you have any problems - not sure if an early problem was resolved from just flashing the firmware

I just used the revone s-off method and flashed the s-off firmware zip. Gives the new radio and leaves the boot components intact. Viper rom still running flawlessly with no need to wipe or reload anything.
