After I got my Vivid, I upgraded my vivid to ICS from RUU on htc.com, and had no problems at all using for more than 4 weeks with HTCDev unlocked, root and S-OFF. I decided to use custom ROM and installed Marine_Blue_WhiteBase_HOLIICS.zip theme for holics mistaking it for the ROM without wiping data/cache/dalvik/battery stats and without making a backup, then my phone boots and gets stuck at "Android is upgrading" Starting Applications... and rebooted a number of times without success.
I racked up everywhere to solve the Android is upgrading issue but found only SGS II related solutions and suggestions to install ROM afresh.
I made a backup of this just incase I find a solution later, wiped data/cache/dalvik/battery stats, then installed kozmikkernel RC2 and Virtuous Inquisition ROM. Everything went fine but no mobile network. I rebooted a couple of times, reinserted sim, tried another sim all to no avail. I found out it could be a problem with IMEI and did *#06# and got blank IMEI ("IMEI ").
I relocked bootloader and flashed stock ROM, and I'm still getting blank IMEI when I check *#06#.
Please help....
EDIT: I know now that the problem is with the RIL or probably radio library files...but I just can't figure out what to do yet. Also this problem is with SGSII and HOX (HTC One X)... But I'm wondering why on earth I'm the only Vivid user with this...
Try checking your apn settings .Go into settings,mobile network,network operator,search network hopefully that will help.

I've tried search network a couple of times and I get "Error while searching for networks"
Try setting apn manually maybe that will work

I have tried all these with no success... Since the IMEI is blank when I type *#06#, I don't think the problem is with the settings, I'm afraid I might have wiped some config that has to do with the phone's radio... Please help!!!, this phone is barely 2 months old!
Try contacting the juopunutbear s-off devs..if they can apply engineering hboot they should be able to walk u thru adb commands to reflash the imei manually..but only if u know what it was to begin with. If of course that's actually what's wrong.

Have you tried to just run a ruu and start from fresh? Its certainly not a normal situation that you lost your imei number just from flashing a rom/theme.

Problem a solvo!!!...
I eventually flashed stock GB and IMEI was still blank with no mobile network, so I switched off the phone for a while to relax and admit the problem can't be solved.
Then I touched the power button by mistake and when the phone came up, BINGO, it brought my network.
I checked IMEI and Baseband and everything is up and good!!!
I lost count of how many times and stuffz I've flashed to get this thing back, but then I have the knowledge
Thanks guys...
Good! Very happy for your success !

Guys, I installed custom ROM (wiped before) and the baseband is gone again. I repeated what I did to solve it the first time, but no luck this time.
I know the problem is directly related with the RIL, but I'm not sure if the radio.img can't be found or can't be loaded or if there are no library files (from research).
I'd appreciate any help...
[EDIT]
I seem to have found what caused this!!!
I racked up all I could about baseband and saw THIS.
I checked getprop ro.baseband, got N/A as usual, so I did setprop ? and it gave me the syntax,
then I did setprop ro.baseband 3.26.5XXX (<--- mainver: in android-info.txt in RUU.zip) and did a reset and my mobile network is back, and brought my IMEI and baseband with it and everything is cool.
I'll update to ICS, play with the network to see if it has come to stay, do same with Holics ROM and then I'll mark this thread as solved and go to bed .
I'll also let the SGSII guys know if it'll help them, when I wake up
HOw can I download Official gingerbread ROM

My dilemma started after trying everything to unlock my captivate. I used the method where you delete nv_data and a new one supposed to be created. Here is my problem the imei changed after i unlock my, i'm trying to find out how to repair it change it back. When i was unlocking my phone there was a thread saying how to repair this because it happened to quite a few people. Any help in repairing this will be greatly appreciated.
Try Factory Reset , it will re-lock ur phone and bring back ur original IMEI code. Worked for me, Firmware version, I897UCJI6., Android 2.2. Of course, u need to back up ur contacts, maybe some other apps, like Titanium Backup etc.
Hello Samnew, did you try to factory restore to 2.1? I tried it but still see some funky imei number. any help is greatly appreciated.
can i know how u unlock that phone? not using SupperOneClick?
Factory resetting your phone does NOT re-lock your phone or even touch the IMEI EFS zone. Checkout the IMEI restoration thread in the DEV section or my video on YouTube. If you still can't get it back I can also rebuild it from scratch with special hardware I have. Just pm me about that if it comes to it...

Hi
I have an issue with a captivate and was wondering if you could help me. It is running on 2.2 Froyo, I rooted it and unlocked it. My friend took it to Africa inserted a local AirTel sim card but he says it does not connect to network as he sees no bars on the top of the screen. Can you please tell me what would be the reason for that and how to rectify it. Thank You.
I've tried every guide, and every step twice. I can't get past the white HTC screen. I can get into the bootloader, and recovery screens.
Just don't know where to go next.
very frustrated, and not looking forward to an hours drive to the tech area to get it fixed.

hi enter to the bootloader - fastboot and make it lock with this command ( fastboot oem lock ) and then download and run roger ruu stock
(http://hotfile.com/dl/145619873/245....77.551061.02L_release_219561_signed.exe.html)
like that it should be back to the stock.
Well I'm not entirely sure why it worked this time - lord knows i tried every combination of commands at least twice.
I'm back at setup for Rogers - guess I'll have to learn to live with the low volume issue - which is what prompted me to look for a root to begin with.
Thank you for the assistance at least getting me back to square 1
Boot into fastboot, and flash stock kernel. Or flas recovery to install Rom. guess u'r in bootloop. Cmiiw

Hi Guys,
I have a problem where my internal earphone stopped working after flashing the kernel to a different one. still on the stock ICS ROM though.
Would this download put me back to stock as well. I am running a HTC Velocity (Vivid).
I know this is a noobish question just literally plucking straws here now. been trying to get the earphone working for a day now.
Having the same Problem
I am having the same problem with my Phone except I don't think USB debugging is activated somehow got turned off.. Anyone know to tunr it back on because I can only acess HBoot and Recovery. i see alot of tutorials that say oh just do this.. But my phone won't connect...

Go to recovery and plug it in. Run ADB and type adb devices. It should say
"List of devices attached"
*Serial number below*
If your serial number pops up it's connected. If it doesn't then it could be your drivers aren't installed. I had that problem and downloading the drivers again fixed it.

You would need the RUU.exe for the Vivid. Not the Raider.
http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-vivid-att/software-updates
Underneath "HTC Vivid™ for AT&T ROM Update | 03.22.2012" click read more in green. Go to the bottom and click download. That is the ICS stock RUU for AT&T Vivid.
it worked
It worked. It break the screen loop. First I relocked. The RUU install the ICS. Now at hboot show: S-ON RL
Could you please tell me what next? I am terrified to get back to the past loop... haha

My Optimus Black was working fine for about 3 months. Not sure what happened, but it started showing no network/signal. It's a completely unlocked phone. I tried a friend's SIM card and the first time it wouldn't work, but I tried again a few days later and it worked but had a pretty bad signal. Now it won't work no matter how many times I try. I even bought a new SIM card/number (I live in Asia) and it won't work.
I had Android 2.3 and thought maybe something got corrupted, so I wiped and reinstalled, but same problem. I wiped again and installed Mokee OS, and same issue. (By the way, after using Android 2.3, switching to Mokee is so much nicer, although it's in beta and still has some bugs.)
The 6 gold SIM connectors look fine. I used a SIM app and it recognizes the SIM card and its carrier, so I think the card is being read OK.
I live on a small island, so sending the phone back to LG or taking it back to where I bought it (Bangkok) would be a huge hassle. Does anybody have any ideas on things to try to fix this? I'd really appreciate the help.
Can you return to stock rom (rooted or not, as you want) and then tell me if you see something write in LG lockscreen (I'm thinking about LG Security Error) ?

The first time i wiped the phone i went back to Android 2.3, but all that the lock screen said was "No service". Usually it says "DTAC" when I have service. Is that what you mean?

No if the SIM card isn't used that phrase is normal. I got a problem like you but it was written "LG Security Error" and I had to use Smartflash tool erasing cp and then recover my imei. But it doesn't seems that you have the same problem. "/

i don't think my SIM has a pin code? I'm not sure though? There's only one type of SIM you can get here in Thailand. You buy the SIM from a phone shop or 7-11 and add credits to it. I've never seen any other type of SIM card.
Yep, I used smartflashtool and erased the entire CP (had to enable with Windows Enabler). Now there is no IMEI and still "No service".
Retry or by changing baseband now...there was a tutorial in optimus3D threads i think
Or in this one itself
Change the baseband

My best advice to you would be to flash the stock RUU for the carrier you are on and then see if that fixes it. Other than that I am not sure of anyone else that has had this isse aside from one other that fixed his with a flash of the stock GB RUU for his phone.

Hmm that may be an issue. I am not even sure you can flash an RUU without a windows machine. I would start looking around google to find out and if not start seeing about using a friends computer
Look for the IMEI on the box and try to enter it Maybe the method for the AT&T galaxy S III will also work for you.

how do I do it manualy?
As far as I know...there is no way to delete the imei on an HTC (unlike Samsung's that have it located in the eds folder in root) from what I've read its kept in its own partion that no app or file explorer can access...
Here's my advice...download the stock rooted rom, flash it
If you can find a pc to use then use a ruu (yet another reason why I hate macs and apple all together-programs either are programmed for them last or not at all)

Hey guys. I just bought my HTC One (via Sprint) a few weeks ago and decided today to root my device.
I followed the youtube videos to a tee and got the device rooted. When I tried to flash a ROM is when I ran into issues...
I first tried Maximus HD 21 - but in my haste, upon installation, I didn't realize it said International One (Where I supposedly needed Sprint). The installation continued but once I rebooted the device it became stuck at the HTC Splash screen. Is there a chance that by running this "International" ROM, it permanently ****ed up my cell phone's radio signal/other aspects?
After that failed, I then wiped all caches/dalvik caches and tried the Bad Boyz ROM. No luck here either. I've tried a few others (insertcoin), to no avail. I made sure these were compatible with Sprint, but still I get stuck on the splash screen. Occassionally, when I get through to the phone itself, my mobile data won't become recognized, and the phone will reboot itself randomly.
Please help me. I'm at my wits' end. I've tried everything I know how to do. I've been trying to flash a stock ROM just to get it back to working order, but I can't figure out which one to use.
Any advice at all is welcome!
tl;dr - Not bricked, but not in working order. Need a working ROM for a Sprint HTC One. Please assist!
