I just got the ics update (just took back to stock) and was wondering what folder I should look for to copy the update directly to my sd card?

So your phone is on Gingerbread? And you downloaded the official stock ICS update rom?
What is the file name that you downloaded? How big is it?

It was on gingerbread but my mom thought she was helping and went and did the install so I think it may have deleted the file now

So she "did" the install on your phone (over the air update?) but the install didn't start yet? I don't think the situation is clear yet. What would you like to do, and what symptoms are getting in your way?

I had it downloaded and just set to install later but while my mom was using my phone saw the update and hit install now. So now phone is running 4.0. What I was winding to do was try and extract the update to use for later if I needed to.

Just do this if you want to ever go back to ics stock
1) Download this ruu: http://dl3.htc.com/application/htc_vivid_att_RUU_3.26.502.56_US.exe I got the download from here http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-vivid-att/software-updates
2) just double click file it downloads when ever you want to go back to stock...it will walk you through the process
Extra info:
-ruu stands for Rom update utility
-it is the official stock ics
-no, your warranty won't be voided by using it...
-it can only be used on windows
-it will delete all your apps and everything (except for stuff on your sd and external sd...like any thing you downloaded from a browser or put on your phone through USB)
-it takes a while...if it gets stuck do not unplug just wait it out
-if your freaking out cause its taking so long just ask in the q&a section for advice

[HELP] New Phone Soon.

Within the next week I will be getting a new phone. My current Hero is rooted with a custom ROM installed that I need to reset back to completely stock. That is one problem. The other problem is that my SD Card is not working at all. I need to know how to revert to completely stock without the use of an SD Card. Any help is amazingly appreciated!! Thanks in advance!
Go to the HTC website. Download the 2.1 update for the hero. Run it and your done.

[Q] trouble starting up htc vivid

i have read all the other threads concerning my problem, and i havent been able to fix it someone please help me, i tried flashing a kernel to my phone from the all in one kit and now im stuck on the htc logo screen, i can access the recovery and fastboot
You will need to find the original gb rom and go from there. I will link to you tomorrow. Pm if you any help
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA
GB? does it matter if i had ICS before this problem?
I believe it doesn't matter. When you flashed the kernel with stock ics, it will messed your stuff up. Find the gb download, then go to boot loader, it will ask you to update or not. Say yes then let it do it's thing. Then boom. Gingerbread.

Did you even read the link they posted? It tells you exactly what to do in the op of that thread. Questions are good but it is a general rule to read before asking questions.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium
In case you didn't read it, it says out it in your external card and boot into boot loader by holding down volume down + power. It should scan it and ask if you would like to update or not. Select yes, then it should reboot or something. Yada, you are back to gingerbread.

Thank you so much ill try it out after i get back from school
ok one problem i dont have an sd card...
I am not sure if you could still do it wihlh internal storage. Load into boot loader, choose the recovery option then select internal USB tuggle. I am not sure if your system will detect the file. Let me make sure.

It's not a problem... It's the way ice cream sandwich works
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2
From what I understand, this is completely normal, Gingerbread used to do this every time it booted, what it is basically doing is building/updating the DALVIK cache for the JIT compiler. ICS does the same thing but it actually shows you what it is doing instead of just making you look at an emotionless boot-screen.
Go to menu then power then enable fastboot. From then on ice will only optimize after a cache wipe. Or fresh install and such

Just curious. Why go out of your way, to possibly screw up something that is working? It does take about an extra minute or two to boot up, but what would you be doing with that extra time.
Yea you got a point thanks ill leave it alone lol
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA
It's actually not a normal Ice Cream Sandwich thing (on every boot), but rather a bug in the ICS release from HTC. It should only do it once on first boot up or after a dalvik cache wipe. As far as I know, it's been reported to them many times as a bug. Who knows when they'll fix it.
But yes, a de-odexed ROM would get rid of this.

*** SOLVED ****
Download RE Explorer then press the little button up right "R/W" to gain write privilege and then go to:
system/framework and delete "com.google.widevine.software.drm.jar" and the below .odex file then go to: system/etc/permissions and delete "com.google.widevine.software.drm.xml"
That's it! Restart and the issue is gone...say thanks please
Note: if it doesn't work your system rebuilds the files on start up, do the same from the file manager of your recovery...guaranteed!

Stock Rooted Odex/Deodex

Disclaimer: Flash this ROM at your own risk. I am not responsible for what you do on your device. I left this stock to provide a base for anybody that wants to use it. Mod this rom how you want. Just please remember to give credit where credit is due.
This is a pure stock rooted rom. It has items like busybox, init.d support and so forth. No apps were added or removed. Both Odexed and Deodexed versions below.
This is using stock unmodified kernel from HTC. Kernel source can be grabbed from HTCDev
Downloads
There are few zip's. Could you please advise me which one should I flash? Thanks.

Yes that's due to system protection in the kernel. Can't fix it till HTC releases kernel source. If you want to remove something you have to do it in recovery

That option was there before too, but it reset it to "off" after updating. It's off by default in the shipped rom too, for some odd reason.

Sprint HTC one bricked?

So I wanted to root my htc one and install a custom rom on it and everything went wrong. I unlocked the bootloader, flashed twrp, installed superuser. I then tried to install android revolution hd 12.1. after installing it from sd card it said that my device was not rooted and it rebooted and now i am stuck on the bootloader screen. I cannot try and install the rom again due to all my data being wiped somehow and I have relocked the bootloader and tried to run the ruu to return to stock but it says I need the correct ruu i updated to 1.31. someone please help!!!
It is loading to the "htc quite brilliant" screen and it wont go no farther, I can still get into bootloader and recovery though
Sprint Htc One issues
I am having a very similar issue! I just want to be able to use my phone whether stock or rooted now. Help!!!!!!
If you can access the boot loader, unlock it again then use TWRP's sideload feature to flash the ROM. Or you can probably find. The correct RUU in the sprint one forum.

Seriously. The number of people who've managed to put themselves in this situation is staggering. We may just want to have a PSA sticky that says not to flash that ROM.
OP, you should at the least put your phone into fastboot because an RUU will not run with the bootloader open, but I'm not sure if there's a new RUU available for the latest OTA.
Fortunately you are not bricked try out this tool it makes your recovery so much easier http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2236814 with this you can flash a recovery and sideload a rom, you might have to also click the download HTC drivers as well. Make sure you sideload a SPRINT compatible Rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2219. GL!
So find a Sprint Rom you like and download it, then from bootloader you can use this tool and sideload a rom and flash a recovery.
Ive got it to install a rom, i installed viperrom. After i did that and it boots up it says I have no service and the phone will reboot on its own. what do i do now?
You will likely have to RUU back to stock. The non Sprint Rom probable buggered the partitions or the baseband. Look in android development to find the RUU file you need. I don't think you can use the older one if you got the recent OTA.
Sent from my HTCONE using xda premium
Thats what I want to do go back to stock. Do you know where the ruu for 1.31 is?
I can't find it. I heard it was out there in a thread recently. Here is the older one though. That may work, I haven't tried though.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=
I haven't explored it myself, but I saw anecdotal posts stating that they were able to use the older RUU.

Might have to wait for the RUU file to drop then. Coming from Samsung devices for a long time, I'm used to being able to use Odin to go back to older factory firmware without issue. It's a bummer. Maybe someone more versed will have better info.

Does the Non-Sprint HTC One threads say "Sprint"? No.
Are the Sprint HTC One forums labeled "Sprint"? Yes.
Do nearly all the ROM threads in the non-Sprint forums say something along the line of "not for Sprint variant" including the revolution HD thread (all US carriers apart from Sprint)? Yes.
Just take a minute to read through the thread before flashing something. I mean, this is an expensive device where messing with system level files CAN ruin it (obviously) So, don't go jumping into stuff if you aren't going to take the time to understand it.
