You aren't the first that I've heard of this problem. What CWM are you using? The one I posted earlier today in the superguide (VER2) or the one that was in there before?

slap, there hasnt been another recovery released that i am aware of.
ver 2 of my CWM root was only to root via CWM, it doesnt replace recovery.

This is my first htc and Im not even sure how to flash anything using fastboot. Im so used to booting into cwm recovery and flashing from that. I know there isn't a recovery already built for the vivid but if someone could point me to the right thread on how to get into the recovery Im accustomed to Im sure I could figure the rest out

Ah you are correct, my apologies. Or maybe he's using the other CWM apparently floating around that doesn't have the battery indicator issues .
But my fault, I forgot what I wrote in my own thread! imitenotbecrazy, go to the thread that Pirateghost specified, read up on everything. Also, I have written down some things just in case you have that backup issue. Try this...
- IF YOU ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH BACKING UP, pull the battery, boot back into recovery (power + vol down then select recovery) and try again. OR you may have to boot up and delete the old partial backups with a file explorer and try again. OR make sure your USB is no longer connected and try again.

i got it it was cuz i still had the usb plugged in thanx for all your help

Clockwork Mod HTC Vivid the same as Holiday?

So this is just a question as I was browsing through the rom manager program I noticed the HTC Holiday is now listed in their devices.
As I have been researching this phone I believe the phone was referred to as the HTC Holiday
Basically my question is, Is this the device to select or is it referring to an OEM or pre release handset or is it the same as the AT&T Vivid.
I hope that made sense, if not please let me know and I will do my best to make my question more clear.

It is the same phone but I don't know that anyone has used ROM Manager with it. I never used it on any of my other phones because I found it too buggy.
This is the first I have heard of it being listed on there.

I believe it is added as of today, I personally have loved rom manager though I understand your reasons for not liking it. I just want to confirm it is comparable with the AT&T device before putting it on and flashing what ever version of clockwork recovery it has to offer.... (I bought my phone at an early upgrade price so $350 makes me quite a bit cautious with it....)

I just loaded the recovery labeled holiday and you get stuck at the HTC boot screen. Going back to the recovery from the sticky. A later update might fix it.

Thank you for trying and letting me know. I do indeed hope it gets fixed, Rom Manager was always just convenient for me.

I told koush about the issues we are having and he is looking into it.

I updated to the one from ROM manger and I let my phone die. Now I can not get it to charge and the phone will not boot at all. For some reason the charging light comes on for a few seconds and then turns off. Some one please help me lol.

Its probably obvious but your best bet would be to either get a friends phone to charge your battery or buy an external battery charger....

It's working for me
I have the Vivid and downloaded Rom Manager on a whim. Saw the Holiday, selected it. Tried to backup the Att rom, failed - needed cwm installed. Chose option to let RM flash CWM. The version it put on caused RM to puke when attempting to backup. Flashed CWM v5.0.2.7 from PC. Rebooted and mysteriously lost root. Had to pull the battery a few times during all this.
Rerooted using HTCSupertool, and RM has worked just fine since.
So some flakes, but when ironed out seems OK.
I did a nand backup and a restore just to be sure I could get back and both operations completed without error.
Waiting to get full charge on the phone then will flash first custom rom.

I was thinking of a prize for being first
Edit: Too late. Five downloads already.
On a side note, I'm going to try that rom with the Amaze camera first. Just to see if the HORRIBLE audio on videos is impacted.

[Q] Noob wanting to root with clockworkmod

Was thinking about rooting my rogers htc raider. Iam looking to gain more battery life and enjoy customizing my phone. How easy is clockworkmod recovery to use and would it be a good choice for what im looking for?

Cwm is easy to use but most have found the wcx or twrp work Better on this phone I don't know why but they do even I was having cwm crash all the time while flashing some roms so I made the change and have had 0 issues.

i use wcx personally......
i think cwm has been updated to ver 6 now ... still not interested though.. wcx works for me

I use wcx too and it's been perfect for me. As for rooting, use the all in one tool in the sticky here, very easy, but slightly time consuming.

Ah ok...I read cwm is the only one that will work for my raider as Iam on the rogers network here in Canada. Is that true?

Not true. Bell Raider here. I've used CWM and WCX (and I think I tried TWRP but didn't stick with it). Also used CWM and WCX on my friend's Rogers Raider. CWM is my favourite.

I tried CWM a while back. Seemed to be less usable and was definitely a lot more buggy than WCX's. Try em both and see what works best for your device.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium

Yep, totally not true. I have a Rogers Raider running on Bell Canada now, and I've used all the recoveries there are for this phone. I have settled on TWRP personally, but I also liked CWM just fine. My main beef with it was that it couldn't restore large backups, so I ended up boning my system after flashing a rom for testing. I do think CWM has fixed that in the newest version, but I'm happy with TWRP so why change?
Since you might ask, you can also run the ROM of any carrier on your Rogers Raider. As I said, I'm on Bell, so I originally flashed the stock Bell ROM before I started running custom roms (where some of them are AT&T, Telstra, etc based).
Once you unlock this phone, sky is the limit.

Help. Used hasoon all in one toolkit, I flashed cwm but cant choose zip from sd card. Says error cant mount sdcard. Any ideas?

Sorry more details... when I click permroot I think it boots in recovery, but then the prompt box says waiting for device...and nothing happens..?

are you trying to root the phone? if you are, all you need to do left is basically install superuser.
the all-in-one-kit did the same to me. it loaded the recovery fine but didnt actually install superuser to give me the root permissions.
not sure if it was supposed to or not though.

Ya just had to root. I figured it out I downloaded v2.2 of hasoon toolkit for some reason i had old version. So when I clicked permroot button it downloaded superuser zip to my phone, before it did nothing with old version. Good to go now all rooted

[Q] Wild child recovery updated now wifi doesnt turn on

alright so my htc vivid has the wildchild recovery but is not rooted (i really dont know why but it says it isnt on root checker) and ever since my phone randomly updated its recovery my wifi won't turn on. Im thinking of going completely back to stock and see if it fixes it. Do you guys know any other way?

install superuser app and see if root works after. and you most likely need to flash a kernel through recovery to fix the wifi

Don't listen to him ^^ WildChild's site will give you the best help there.. but you did something wrong... on his site download the instructions and follow them everything works fine.

What? Obviously he is missing the files that flashes with the kernel if it's not working and yes if he followed the guide everything would have worked

can one of you send me a link to the WildChild site because as of right now my browser cannot find it at all. Also i already installed superuser but nothing has changed.

We cannot post the link just google wcx vivid

To the OP what are you trying to do? Please elaborate more. Did you flash a rom and only flashed the WCX recovery? Wildchild always provides the boot.img with his roms that need to be flashed via fastboot regardless if you are S-Off. Are you rooted? I would not flash a recovery until you can confirm root.

[Q] Need help completely wiping my phone.

I rooted my phone a while back and put faux123's custom kernel on it.
Anyway, now that h8's CM10 ROM looks pretty good, I tried that out, but I'm having several issues. I'd like to just start over, but I think I'm wiping it wrong. I have WCX installed as my boot loader. Can anyone just run my through the steps to completely start over?

Boot into recovery. Wipe cache,wipe dalvik cache, wipe data. Flash rom, flash kernel (boot.img) via fastboot. You should be ok after that.

I agree with homeslice... What are you talking about? I have always used wcx recovery and NEVER had problems with any JB ICS or GB rom sense or senseless or AOSP
No troubles at all....

Also just so you know the WCX (recovery) you have installed is called a recovery not the bootloader Just wanted you to know!

What? Where are you guys coming up with this stuff?
The only custom HBoot for our device is the junoptbear (sp?) custom hboot that you see temporarily during the s-off process. Other hboots are from HTC RUUs

Sine I am banned for not contributing... I can't find it... but I am 90% that he wrote his own hboot...
Comes as a wcxhboot.zip and is found on the first page of the topics where he releases his ROMs...
I could be wrong... but that's what I remember

That's the name of the zip. Its the ICS bootloader (and I believe the zip was still called ph39img.zip)

Everybody on irc pointed me away from wcx saying it was glitchy and never worked haha. Sorry!!
