My wife has a vivid and she went through with the update that was poping up even though I told her not too until I fixed it. It was on 4.0.3 before 1.85 I believe, and then updating to 2.2 is the attempt.
The phone is rooted and unlocked, s-on
I don't mind the update happening but when the phone restarts to do the update, it starts and then jumps to a screen with the android, with his belly open and a red danger sign and just sticks there.
What do I do now, to get this update done and back to root/unlocked?

This should be in the Q/A section and I don't think it does. it was just a minor update for sensor issues or something like that. Have you tried running an RUU?

Lol you are not alone everyone needs to start somewhere
Sounds like a botched install. You will likely need to re-install from RUU.
You'll need to re-lock the bootloader, and download whatever RUU you want. The RUU is basically the downloadable Windows Installer version of what the carrier pushes via OTA update. You can find one for each of the main carriers. In my experience, it doesn't matter which carrier you install (for example, my phone when purchases was Rogers, but I flashed a Bell RUU, then flashed roms based on AT&T and Telstra afterward).
Look at the Superguide sticky thread in the Dev section, and it will (hopefully) answer all your questions. It has the steps for re-locking and un-locking, links for the RUU's, and (I think) I guide for installing the RUU, though it's really straight forward. Once you have the RUU installed, and are starting fresh again, you will have to un-lock the bootloader and root again, or just flash a custom rom after re-installing a custom recovery (CWM, TWRP, etc).
Good luck, and don't be afraid to post back here if you have any issues. But make sure you read the superguide top to bottom at least twice. It will give you an idea of what steps are preformed in what order and why. Even if you don't need to do all the steps, at least you should have an understanding of what's actually going on.
DO NOT INSTALL CWM...
It corrupts partitions...

Thank you everyone, I was able to get it back to before the update. The wife was complaining about "what does this root thing get me anyways" after this trouble so I am just going to unroot it, do the OTA update and let me have it. Is she ends up wanting something different I will step in.

what do i do here .I have a nexus one unlocked from google and i had the froyo 2.2 .in an attempt to root it i had to downgrade it to epe76 and then frf85b.But i am stuck on epe76.what is wrong,what am i doing wrong?i also copied passimg.zip to my sd card .it says no imge!!!!
You said you were unlocked? Then just flash whatever rom you want from the development section.
Long time reader, first time poster ;D
Same problem for me.
screwed up rooting my FRF91, so downgraded to EPE76, which a kind bloke here was good enough to put together as an entire package.
I think OP's problem is that most flashable roms seem to already require a certain radio, or they're just updates to an existing froyo built.
Seems a little difficult to find a stand alone rom you can stick straight onto your device, even with an custom recovery.
I'd love to be proved wrong!
I think another issue is that there's a lot of jargon in most custom rom posts, or just a general assumption that new users will know what they're doing. Of course, given the right research, most people can figure it out. But I feel your pain, OP.
I mean it is unlocked from Google. Does. That mean I can flash any Rom *? Do I need to root it? I got it to frf85 it asked me if I wanted the ota and I did just that.. my reason to do so was just wanting to make sure I get the necessary information before another attempt.

I have an Incredible 2.3.4 with this taken from HBOOT
Incrediblec XC Ship S-On
HBOOT-0.92.0000
Microp-0417
Touch Panel-ATMEL224_16ab
Radio-2.15.10.07.07
Ok, so here is my problem, I want to be rooted and I want S-off, but I cannot get anything done. The phone wouldn't recognize the SD Card, I got that taken care of. The phone does the 5 Vibrates when turning it on unless I have the USB plugged in and I do a battery pull. (This really screws up updates/RUU fixes where updates are necessary). And along those lines I tried an RUU back to 2.1 which didn't work because of the restart issue, but then I was able to run the update after booting into HBOOT USB but the RUU failed ultimately.
I've tried to gain root access through unrevoked 3.22, it simply says failed to push recovery, terminated. I've tried rooting using zergRush, it tells me that it has found a path and that its sending zergs, then it just stops without telling me what happened and kicks me back out of adb shell. This is a recurring problem, I will be in adb shell and then randomly and for no reason it was kick me out to the root of my computer.
I'm working on a Windows 7 64 bit machine, I have been using an ADB mini download, but have also tried working through the installed ADB with equal results.
If anyone has any idea of what I could be doing wrong or different please let me know. I really need some kind of help because I am at a major loss.
2.3.4 on the Incredible has not yet been rooted, therefore the rooting software (Unrevoked) has not been updated with a root method. That would be why it's not working for you. I've never tried to downgrade to an old version using an RUU, so I can't really speak to that.
Also, this was posted in the incorrect forum. You should have posted in the Q&A section, as this has nothing to do with development.
What about the radio?
I was wondering this same thing because my wife's Incredible isn't rooted, but she's on 2.3.4. If she ever asks me to root her phone to put something on it or give her some feature not otherwise available, I'd rather be prepared if possible.
While looking over the UnRevoked site, I noticed it didn't really mention the Android versions it worked with, just the radios. I wonder if it's possible to just flash the radio to 2.15.00.07.28, which is rootable, according to the UnRevoked site, and try the UnRevoked Forever tool?
The radios are pretty easy to get here after all.
I'm not recommending this without some confirmation from someone with a lot more experience rooting than I have though, so Caveat Emptor!
Just a thought.
Cheers!

You can flash radios in the bootloader, but, having S-ON, the zip file may need to be signed, so i'd say NO it's not possible to flash a radio w/o root.
Yeah, flashing radios with s-on is a brick magnet.

You'll need to relock your bootloader if you want to run the update.
Yeah, I got it too. Probably just the OFFICIAL ics roll out that made it our way.. I doubt there's much difference.. oh, and we'd lose our roots. I'm not going to update it.
Yeah I kind of already knew that was the case but wanted some other opinions... Any one use the RUU that ghost put out have any problems... Sometimes my audio gets buggy, like doesn't play sound then reset phone and all good... Doubt the two are connected but just curious

I also just received the text from AT&T informing me of the important update.
My boot loader is re-locked, phone is un-rooted and I used the latest ICS RUU to update the phone.
My question is now or later (assuming I stay locked and on the current ROM) if I happen to select the check for updates option on the phone will I screw anything up?
Does this OTA method give you the option to save the downloaded file but not do the upgrade?

Yes, it will download and let you save for later. You won't screw anything up. However, since you are already on the latest ics you don't need the update.

I agree that I dont need it but AT&T will probably have my phone flagged as not having received the update. I wanted to make sure that say in 6 months time while playing with the phone I forget and try the update option that I dont screw anything up.
I imagine though that before then I will re-lock, root and download one of the custom ROM's in which case I need to make sure that I dont accidentally choose the OTA update!!

Go to that website. To see the vivid forums you will have to register. After you register you will be able to see the different roms he has which includes generic, if you want to tether. I am on the att version, just like stock without the bloat. Also it comes with his wcx recovery. It is already rooted as well so no worries there. He also has videos that show every step in installing his recovery plus rom. It is also "over clocked" at 1.5 instead of the 1.2 the factory sends out.
Hope this helps out!

It's really not truly over clocked, it is the natural clocking for the phone. My battery life has improved by about an hour since I went to this rom. I was on stock ics before switching to this. I usually use it 12-14 hours a day with at least 30 left at the end of the day. I listen to an hour of pandora, spend at least a couple of hours on xda, usa today, and sync 3 emails accounts. The biggest battery waster for me and I would get a few more hours if not for it is the screen brightness. If I would turn off auto brightness and dim it, I would have a couple of days worth of battery life.
Telstra ROM showing update available to ICS
System upgrade to 3.44.841.3
Anyone else getting this?
My phone is on the standard Telstra ICS ROM, however is S-off and unlocked... and has recovery if I update will this bork my phone?
Download Here https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B_yipCshKsIQa3B6bHl6UnVDMGs 58.8MB
I upgraded to this about 2 days ago, admittedly on a stock Velocity....rumblings seem to say that this is a radio fix from Telstra only at this stage (and an unsuccessful one at that)
Ah righto, I attempted applying it but it just made my phone display a belly up android with a hazard sign sticking our of its belly, I'm uploading the file now for people to play with should be done soon :laugh:

I'm not sure that's it. The patent in my understanding is about apps/contacts/other stuff showing up in the universal search, which mine still does after the update.
Update fails. any hints welcome
I have a Velocity with the OTA 4.0.3 ICS update. When I bought it I tried to root it using hansoon2000s 1 in all kit. I did unlock the bootloader, but attempts to gain root access failed so at that time I relocked the bootloader and just forgot about it.
When I try to install the 3.44.841.3 update, the phone shuts down then reboots to the FASTBOOT menu which gives me the option of
BOOTLOADER,
REBOOT,
REBOOT BOOTLOADER or
POWER DOWN
and it shows at the top *RELOCKED*.
If I select BOOTLOADER I go to the HBOOT menu and I can see
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
FACTORY RESET
CLEAR STORAGE
SIMLOCK
IMAGE CRC
I have limited skills but I am guessing if I got to the recovery menu I would be able to choose a zip file to run and I could point it at the OTA zipfile which it downloaded, but when I go to recovery it just goes back to the FASTBOOT menu.
Any ideas which course of action I should take. Because it's not rooted I don't have a good backup of app data so I'd really prefer not to take any action which is going to set the phone back to Factory unless I am fairly certain of the outcome. I'm still not even sure that I need to apply this update because I have no issues with my phone (but just for the sake of the exercise lets presume I'm trying to load a Jellybean OTA update, which is something I definitely would want to do even if I reset the phone).
Ideas or suggestions ?
Bro use all in one to unlock bootloader from the menu your talking about select recovery then when it boots into a recovery you chose from the all in one use the volume to navigate to the zip file there's a prerooted gb one that I'm using then once you install it and phone reboots let the phone update to ics

I've got a feeling that this may have updated the Velocity to a custom hboot version, because now I'm having all sorts of trouble with custom kernals and roms. Investigating now to make sure it's not my own derpiness that's causing this.....

Yeah same thing happened to me because of using a deodexed rom, but you can get it fixed pretty easily.
Only problem is I don't know how to get the update to work with the stock rom as i doesn't keep. I assume leigh kennedy knows how to apply the update to stock rom and then deodex, as he did it the for stock. Hope he does it for this too.

Hi I also have received the notification for an OTA update with a link to HTC.com for my Velocity 4G, But I am running "nightly Build 4" since it came out and it is running like a dream. I also got the error msg with Mr android, belly open and a triangle warning sign. Not surprised tho. However I am thirsty still and ofc with Jelly Bean bouncing in I am tempted to flash the new ROM when it is avail.. Any ideas when it will be? :fingers-crossed:
How can I flash this OTA manually?
My Velocity is stock non rooted an locked.
The phone is stuck at the HTC screen so really only have access to fastboot...
Also, does anyone have the stock build.prop for the velocity 4g?

If you have access to fastboot, try running the RUU while connected in fastboot (drivers must be installed). This will put the phone back to a factory state, then you can check for and install the OTA

Hello all,
I'm sorry to interrupt you all, but this is rather important!
I tried to root my girlfriends Velocity 4G which she got with her contract with A1 (austrian carrier).
I already flashed a One S and knew of the complications a root for HTC could bring.
So I tried to get everything together before flashing and then I did it...
Got the bootloader unlocked, installed TWRP and flashed sun_dreams rom.
Don't worry, I wiped all clean and think I did it the right way (already flashed 4 other phones, but samsungs').
But I seem to have missed something as I got in a neverending bootanimation (white background with green htc logo).
I know, that you sometimes have to wait a few minutes, but after about 5 minutes or so, I thought I was stuck on boot loop.
So I rebooted, flashed it again and rebooted and nothing changed.
I then read about the boot.img... So I extracted the boot.img and did a full wipe, then installed it, after that the rom and then (just to be safe) three times again the boot.img.
Rebooted and now I got the reboot loop (white background with green logo, then black, then white background again and so on)
I tried everything and as I was about to give up, read about the final solution: the RUU or PH39IMG.zip.
Now the problem is: I cant get either of them to work. At all. When trying to flash the RUU (with bootloader relocked), the programm says: "ERROR 170: No device connected".
I read about some other people having the same problem, so I tried the solution given to them: go to the first screen, then to your temp data, extract the rom.zip, rename it and flash that one, via putting it on the external sd and booting into bootloader.
Didn't work either: Wrong CID. Same for all RUUs I could find even closely related to my phone.
As I couldn't find the real correct RUU, I tried to cheat and use the goldcard to overgo the cid-problem.
Because I couldn't boot up the Velocity 4G I tried to make one with my own Galaxy S2, which worked.
Seems to be the wrong way, since it's the wrong CID anyways, when trying to install the PH39IMG (still all RUUs say ERROR 170).
I might need to mention I didn't do the S-OFF thing, as I didn#t want to mess with the hardware... Is that necessary for my problem to getting fixed?
Maybe I just need the one correct RUU for my model, but I can't find it anywhere!
please help me somebody, as I feel very guilty because of wrecking my girlfriends phone! :crying:
any help is appreciated!!!

What complicates the search, is that this phone goes by so many different names (vivid, velocity, holiday, raider, etc...)

Concerning your further steps: I would be very happy to get it to run at all, maybe then think of reflashing something.

I already did that with all the RUUs I found, but none worked...
EDIT: so I tried a solution offered by another poster in another forum which said to install CM10 on a clean wipe.
did that and it booted in the cm boot screen and loads the "first install wizard"... well, at least to the language selection screen, then it freezes and reboots again.
but at least we bought us some time at the start.

EDIT: so I tried a solution offered by another poster in another forum which said to install CM10 on a clean wipe.
did that and it booted in the cm boot screen and loads the "first install wizard"... well, at least to the language selection screen, then it freezes and reboots again.
but at least we bought us some time at the start.

Its because of a wrong hboot...
It will happen with all of the ICS+ ROMs...
I wish you hadn't relocked your bootloader...
Can you reunlock...
Iirc there is a thread with hboot updated... Maybe try that... Or download the Wcxroot thingy and flash the juopenut hboot...

so, you're basically saying i might be able to get it to work without any RUUs or PH39IMGs?
Wow, that would be good news at last.
I already reunlocked before i flashed the CM10 rom and i didn't forget to flash the boot.img afterwards and even went back again to recovery to wipe cache and dalvik and fixed permissions.
Which one should i try?
thank you for your help!! :good:
is updating the hboot even possible without s-off?
so it seems i have to obtain s-off to flash anything else than stock rom...
as far as i read you have to be on stock ruu to obtain s-off, is that correct?
because that would be bad, as i don't have the stock ruu for my phone.
is it possible to acquire s-off without being on stock rom and would it be possible with the state my phone is in?

i already wrote a pm. do you have any ideas left? maybe try and install a gb rom and then try that ruu again?
ps: i did manage to start the ruu.exe (by reinstalling the htc sync) and it stopped with the error 131. installing the rom.zip (or PH39IMG.zip) still won't work as it says customer id check failed...

Okay, so I did manage to fix it, as it seems... :laugh:
This is what I did:
1. reunlocked bootloader
2. installed TWRP and booted into recovery
3. mounted the internal SD as mass storage
4. copied over VJRaiders GB rom
5. did a full wipe
6. installed VJRaiders rom
7. rebooted into bootloader
8. fastboot flashed the kernel found in the rom thread (twice)
9. rebooted and it worked...
I don't know how and why, but the problem seemed to be that I always tried to flash non-GB roms. As simple as that.
I have no idea why the RUU and PH39IMG didn't work tho...
Well. I won't touch that thing for a looong time, as it works and I had enough problems getting there!
The reason that you had problems with ics and upward roms is because your phone still has the gb hboot. This is because boss never released the ics update. To install ics roms you need the ics hboot.

Which I'm only able to attain with s-off, am I right?
Correct, I believe. If you didn't get an official update to ICS, you'll have to S-Off. It's honestly not as bad as it sounds, I did mine with some speaker wire...probably the worst part of it is getting the cover off of the section where you have to ground out the point. Just take your time, and make sure you're in a well lit area, with a little bit of working space, and you'll be fine.
well, the problem is, that we are not longer on a stock rom and can't seem to flash the original ruu, as we don't find it anywhere...
and as far as i know it is not recommended or possible to go s-off without being on stock rom!?
AFAIK it is UNTESTED... Not impossible

If this is anything like other HTC devices, i'd say your best shot if you're willing to try an untested idea, would be to give it a shot with a sense rom, as they tend to be (under the hood anyways) a lot closer to stock than non sense roms.
