Juopunutbear screen and how to recover from a bootloop gone bad - HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity

Been a while but I missed you guys in the vivid dev.
Hope this helps noobs with their s-off dilemmas, I originally posted on the general forum, but too many noobs think their device is bricked when it really isn't. Haven't seen this addressed so I present a solution.
Found by chance and accident, works like a charm when in doubt

Hawkysoft, if you don't like nob questions why don't you just ignore them and leave it to the moderators.
You just scare new user away when you run around playing police.
Do you have a count of how many times you been posting stupid remarks to questions you don't like?

You need to have your phone S-OFF to get ROOT. Cyangenmod is not ready for IncS yet, but they are working on it.
2.3 Gingerbread is ready via OTA.
The only way to get S-OFF is to get access to a XTC-Clips because there is no software solution yet.
You can read more about ROOT here.
When I asked why I meant you don't have to be like that just close your eyes take a breath and leave it to moderators.
Take it easy buddy!

I can understand if you posted this in the developer forum, but he posted in general. Yes he could've searched, but I don't understand why people think it is a terrible crime to post a thread like this. How does this lower your quality of life in any way.
Here's a guide about the PROPER thing to do when you see a post like this.
Step 1: Move your eyeballs 5 millimeters in a downwards direction to the next post.
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Profit.
Hawkysoft, this is a general forum for help, get off peoples backs, your comments are far more annoying than any noob questions, regardless of how many times they may have been asked before, take a break man.
I did search around but kept running into ota gingerbread which I can't get cause on a different network, and already knew about no cyangenmod, that's y I bought this app and asked for helped. Sorry to offend u
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA Premium App
Thanks for some info, didn't mean to inconvenience anyone. Just was searching around and all I kept running into was ota on the network u bought it from. I didn't see anything mentioning s-off though but I well search around for more info. Thanks again for at least giving me a direction
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA Premium App
We will still get the ota when it's here. Has nothing to do with what network we are using.

Suggestions for guides?

I've been searching around but haven't been able to find any very helpful guides.
And seeing the lack of interest from most dev except the few great ones we have is making my interest peak in finally learning.
So does anyone have any suggestions?
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA App
What are you trying to do? If it is root phone, etc. look under development at the superguide. Otherwise for development look online at books and read the reviews to see which ones are better.

We have a great general knowledge guide in the general section. As well as the superguide, index, and all in one tool. Not sure what else you're looking for...
Whoops sorry about missing some info in my post. Wrote that right before falling asleep. I'm looking for tutorials and guides to building custom roms and such. I've been doing the basics of rooting and flashing for the last few years and now want to try going a bit more in-depth.

Check out this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1272270
Thanks for the tip. I'm looking more into trying to compile my own kernel atm. I know its a lot harder to start but we all need to learn somewheres .
I'm playing around with trying to build a asop kernel. Haven't really found a 'definitive' guide to start with unfortunately. Cooking a Rom seems to be the most popular options at the moment

S-off discussion

Starting this thread for any discussion of the s-off tool in development or s-off talk in general. Hopefully this will help keep the development thread clear of chatter.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA
Good idea, I wish there was more of this on XDA.
Perhaps if for each development project there was a dedicated thread for chatter, expressions of thanks, etc people would feel more comfortable using it.
Development threads might not grow to thousands of entries, with almost 0% of the entries actually about development.
I'm new here, post count is very low - but my posting habits won't change when I eventually get to 10 posts - unless I do get around to actually doing some Android development I can't see a reason for posting in the dev area.
I guess though that some dev's may prefer it the way it is, as a sign of recognition, or something...

thank you for doing this, i was just thinking the same thing
Yay we can yap! ..lol.. is it done yet? Jk..i hope we get it soon. I hate being left behind on GB cuz of my non-upgraded bootloader..
Sent from my HTC Raider X710e using Chuck Norris.
Honestly you are not missing much imo. GB was so damn efficient I don't see a huge revolutionary change. ICS is very smooth and fast with the help of the developers many to be named I don't want to leave anyone out. But don't feel like you're so far behind bc you are not. Only recently has there been a few more roms to try out.
will s-off make it say easier to get ASOP type roms on to this phone?
Not necessarily, but it will work for all devices (vivid, holiday, velocity) with no porting and wou will be able to flash everything right from your phone, no computer needed.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA
Having s-off has its advantages. Having being part of the beta I can tell its great.
The best for it is being really for developing New Roms and aosp. Makes a lot less of a hassle to flash New kernels and firmware.
I'm sure we won't have to wait much longer for the beta to be over, its a fairly simple process but they have to make sure its foolproof so we don't have a lot of bricks like we suffered with the ota release that happened.

if becomes S-off, then I would like to try porting sense 4.0..
Sense 4.0 port would be great. From the devs I spoke with the radio is their issue also. Seems everything is hanging on cracking that issue

I also know it. but It's not perfect yet. I would like to make a more complete..
Bananacakes love your holiraider Rom and I could see you doing some great things with sense 4.0. You should lurk the irc channels a bit. Seems like the easiest way to get any news about s-off is just hanging out in the channel. I was really lucky to be there at the right time and got it. Don't bug them but mention your a dev and you'd like to be able to work on ics builds but you have a raider.

Good point. Hopefully they would let you S-OFF so you can begin experimenting.

uhmmm, but I don't know sure how I gets a s-off..
and I would like feedback on that issue but i don't know English well enough to give appropriate feedback.. So I figured the sensible thing to do was to wait..
Am I understanding the situation correctly?

How do I flash ROMs and kernels with s-on

Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda app-developers app
Sorry to sound like a **** but XDA isn't a help site. It's a development site.
Do we mind helping people if they need it? Of course not, otherwise Q&A sections wouldn't exist BUT we expect users to also help themselves.
Over the last couple of days, I've noticed you've created a fair few threads asking questions which can easily be solved by searching. Believe me, searching works. It's not just there to look pretty.
You'll manage to learn and know a lot more if you actually search for the answer yourself. Plus you may get that extra good feeling inside because you've been able to answer your own questions without having to ask other people all the time.
Sorry I wont spam anymore west ion sir. Take care!!!

I think you should start from typing HTC one in forum "find device" box above. And read stocky threads and guides to learn how to root. There are enough info when you search benifits of root. Which covers the question..
