I'm not understanding that last part. So you can't RUU it because your phone is not being recognized by the computer?

i would think so, but when i connect the usb i am able to copy files from the computer to my phone, but when i run the RUU i get the message that says i should check to see if the usb is connected to the computer and the phone

when you run the ruu is your phone only charging, or are you mounting it? if you're mounting it, don't. also try a different cable. also you could try downloading and installing htc sync maybe and see if it updates your drivers.

>> i download htc sync and it doesn't connect to htc sync, i tried running the sprint RUU and this time i got a boot loader error, i believe it told me to use the correct RUU which i believe im using, am i not using the right RUU?

if it was a bootloader 140 error, i believe there's lots of stuff in the threads about that bu i don't know them off hand.

Vivid_No mobile Network, blank IMEI

:crying::crying::crying:
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 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

Radio files flashing for different carriers

Hi,
I am planing to flash T-Mobile radios to HTC Vivid since i have 1 sitting around useless. I know the risks, and willing to take it. I have heard one guy on this forums has achieved it alredy. I have downloaded KID and VK1 radio files already. But before I go ahead and screw up something would someone be kind enough and explain me how to flash these radio files step by step. Also one more thing i didnt find anywhere is where would be stock AT&T radio files that I can flash back in case T-Mo ones dont work? Am i at risk of softbriking phone in a way that can not be recovered? ( If not I am planing to go ahead with it). Someone with lots of experience of flashing radios, if you can provideme with step-by-step instructions, I will truely appreciate it.
Thanks.

I believe you would flash the radio partition like any other partition. Not sure if the phone will accept the foreign radio image, but it will be interesting to see the results. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong about the following:
1) You should have the drivers for your phone installed
2) Your bootloader should be unlocked via htcdev.com
3) Put the radio.img file that you would like to flash in the same folder/directory that contains your fastboot.exe file
4) Boot your phone into bootloader mode and choose "fastboot" mode then plug the phone into the PC USB.
5) In a command prompt window, go to the directory/folder that has your fastboot.exe and the radio.img file
6) Run this command: fastboot flash radio radio.img
I think it's a good idea to stand by for a bit and see if anyone corrects me, in case I am wrong. I'm thinking that if the phone doesn't accept the radio image, it will tell you and it won't flash. OR... if it does flash, and your phone doesn't boot properly, you should still be able to get into Bootloader->Fastboot in order to flash back your original radio.
To get the original radio from your stock RUU installer: When you run an HTC RUU exe, it takes a little time to extract whatever files it needs. Once you get to the very first step of the RUU (where you get to click buttons), I believe you can go to C:\Users\whoever\AppData\Local\Temp (for Win7 users) and then sort by modified date. You should see a folder that was very recently created. If you poke around in there, you may find a file called "rom.zip". That should be the stock rom from the RUU and the radio may be in there. Take a look...

the phone will be hard bricked. the only phones that i know can use a different model radio is smasung because they are developed very similiar.. u can try it and go to the unbricking process and see for your self.

This is a very bad idea.
The only HTC device that might have compatible radio us the HTC amaze. The amaze has a LTE radio but its disabled for the most part.
If it worked you would then have to figure out how to use the amaze ril as our ril would not be compatible.
Sent from my HTC Holiday using xda premium

So how do i proceed?
Thanks a lot guys for replying SO FAST,
Anyways If i do this and it briks, is it going to be permanent brick for radio??? Or is it a reversible process?
Also I was thinking of same that flashing radio files for HTC sensation or amaze would be far better idea than flashing ones from samsung, Can anyone point me in right direction where do i get them? I see in first reply the procedure posted of how to flash different radio files already. Let me know what you guys think...

Thanks for stepping in guys! I almost bricked this guys phone lol

Its all good Laziodroid, I just have this phone sitting around since I am no longer with at&t and wanted to do something, but found a seller who agreed to pay 250 for it so scrapped the plans to mess it up and just sold it, Anyways I just wonder if there was a way to get those radio files off of sensation or amaze and flash them on this phone or not?? Or it would have endedup briking phone as well, and more importantly would it be hard brick or soft brick? ( I mean recoverable or all hopes lost)??

Im no expert with HTC...but I would assume a soft brick that a simple ruu can fix since Ruus flash radio.img...if I had t-mo is try flashing some radios (I have a back up Samsung infuse) but I'm on att so I'd have no way of testing if it works with t-mo

[Q] IMEI gone to generic...

Yesterday I flashed the JB rom by Crash (oh, ze irony). It worked for an hour, but then it rebooted and hung at the Samsung logo at boot. When going in to CWM i saw that the /efs could not be found, and I dont have a backup of my efs folder.
After trying nearly everything today, i cant seem to get my own IMEI back. First it was empty, now its the generic one (0049****). Currently im back on GB because i cant get on my mobile network with ICS or JB with the generic IMEI.
I tried most of the tutorials to get it back, tried the GSII_Repair tool, none of them seem to work.
I also tried the .nv/.nv.bak removal/backupping/replacing, but that doesnt seem to help either. Problem in some tutorials is that i have to move the imei folder and the .nv_data file, both of which are not present in my /efs folder.
Can anyone help me out? The phone runs stable and fine now under GB (with the generic IMEI it can work with GB apparently), but i would really like to go to ICS again

You can use (I have a developer IMEI and I use this workaroung right now.) it with ICS or JB. After a reboot you have to change the pin number. After this you'll get your network connection. That was one reason why I used GB a long time - but today I switched to JB (eybee) and had to use this way.

I dont think i really understand you. Under ICS i cant use it, because my network doesnt allow me to sign on. Under GB it does, but id rather just have ICS or JB and my own IMEI...

if you didnt make efs backup your screwed. And no nandroid doesnt back it up. No titanium backup also doesnt.
You need samsung to fix it for you, or get someone, cvxcvx, to that, if you can prove the phone is yours...
you learned the hard way.
I really think all rom makers should have in their first post a line that says back dafuq efs up first.
Anyway, the 49 is not developers, it is test emei, and yea its banned in some countries so if, like in Uk they decide to update banned imei list, you wil lose service.
