Update Velocity - HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity

Hey Guys,
i am writing from germany. The only provider who sells the Velocity is Vodafone and this provider doens't update to JB
So i want to root and unlook the bootloader. My question is: Does anybody now where I can get Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich OS with HTC Sense 3.6 for my phone (or higher) and does it work in germany? Thats my first choice but when i cant get the official update to ice cream i intend to use a custom rom. Does anybody now a custom rom thats works with the 3G in germany?
Thanks a lot

I highly suggest you perform the S-OFF procedure in the vivid dev thread, and then you can super-cid your velocity and use any of the posted ROMs and ruu's in this forum. good luck!

If you haven't already done so, grab the xda app from the market - makes using the forums easier. Also, be sure to read through all the guides and info in the stickies tabs. Lots of useful and trouble-saving info in there.

Any ROMS with a nice ICS skin?

I found a nice skin on CM7 but not really a fan of CM7. So after a 2.3.5 ROM with an ICS skin as default. Any ideas?
Why not flash virtuous quattro ics its real ics as long as your not on bell mobility and don't need a camcorder its an awesome Rom.

Yeah virgin runs off bell mobility towers. I have virgin too and my apps run like crap I even have to retry connection on market 5 times to get it to work. I've come to the conclusion that most of the apps I'm using are not updated for ics which is weird because you would think, like most operating systems, there would be backwards compatibility for apps.

i think CM7's ICS Rom is quite gd~u could have it a try
Use Ice Hd theme by he_stheone64 for DHD and use the patch for our inc s with Niks rom or rcmix rom.

Gracias everyone ,
got my new phone, Raider 4G LTE x710e. some people said it's HTC Vidid while the other said it's HTC velocity.
after search and read on HTC vivid section, i still cannot get correct answer. i'm newbie's on android .
1. Can i Rooting, and Flashing CWM to X710e using same methode on HTC vivid ? such using slapshot30 methode
2. if there is a chance CWM installed on x710e, can i put VIVID ROM on it, i mean, does ROM wich build for VIVID/VELOCITY working like a charm on X710e/x710a ? coz i think they are using very similar hardware ^_^
3. where i can find STOCK / official ICS RUU for x710e, or maybe VIVID RUU can be installed on X710e ?
sorry for my bad english. thanks b4 for aswering my question.

1. Yes rooting is the same
2. Yes you can use any rom except ones that are ice cream sandwich based. The X710e doesn't have the updated hboot version to run ICS.
3. The X710e doesn't have one yet nor can you use the one from the vivid.

1. Yes, the same method applies to the HTC Raider. Please use the SuperGuide located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416836
2. The SuperGuide will show you how to install CWM, and there are various ROM's available for the HTC Raider. Only Gingerbread ROM's are available for the Raider, ICS ROM's are incompatible with the Raider at the moment. A great Gingerbread ROM for the Raider can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1431053
3.The official ICS RUU for the x710e is not available.
i see, so the conclusion is, rooting, flashing, unlocking methode and ginger custom ROM from VIVID/Velocity can be done on X710e Raider. thanks for answering my phone
if there is no RUU ICS update so far for Raider, what about Ginger RUU. does Ginger RUU from velocity/vivid work on Raider...?

i see, so the only way to revert to STOK on my device if there's an issue with custom rom after flashing is Make a Backup of my STOCK before flash Custom ROM.
thankyou so much guys, now it's much clearer for me. ... time to learn again of development section.

Does that mean i can't get Custom Firmware for are HTC Raiders????!
Hey I just got my friends HTC Raider from Rogers running Holics last weekend. I had to go the LONG way around.
S-Off -> CID Changed to 11111111 -> Relock bootloader -> Install BM Ginger Bread RUU -> Install BM ICS RUU -> Holics 0.8
Works FINE. I thought everyone else knew.
I could throw together a manual if someone wants to go through it with me.
I rather have official Rom first than custom roms..

So stop once you get to ICS install.

Not sure why you would want a carrier ROM. Rogers is known for all the craptastic bloatware they put in their ROMs, and the updates are slow. Just get one of the stock RUU based ROMs. It's the same thing the carriers base their ROMs on, but no bloat

For one, it's the only way to get the proper radio for your device-carrier combination.
U agree with you..

So still no official Rogers ICS update yet? I'm looking to pickup a Raider for my wife, but the only ones I can find are Rogers and we're with Bell. I'd get an unlocked one to use, but I don't want to have to go wiping the phone again if there isn't already ICS on it for her to learn/use.

The AT&T ICS RUU seems to work fine, as I've been running it for months. Also, more to the point, I meant more why he would want to STAY with the carrier ROM. I understand the purpose of upgrading to the carrier ROM in order to gain the specific radio or HBOOT you need, but after that, drop it like it's hot.
Still no update?

PAC v19.0 ..best experience with this hardware yet. Couple minor bugs but overall really great! Not experiencing the same battery issues everyone else seems to be tho..the battery life of this phone has always been just shy of average, but really what more can we ask of a stock battery, powering this much hardware..? I find non-sense roms get much better battery life than those with sense..but that's about all. Its just a power hungry gadget.

Try them all and choose the one you like best. Everyone will tell you different answers since no one uses their phones in exactly the same way. Thread closed.
