Hi,
i got a brand new velocity with D2 branding (germany). I used vivid all on one kit to root it. I have the S-ON model.
Then I installed [ROM][ICEss v 0.4][Stockish ICS/SENSE 3.6
After finishing the HTC startet and only shows "htc" and keep it for Minutes/hours. I cut the battery and started again but i have the same problem im so sad about it.
Is there something i can do or is it for the trash now ?
I did a recovery before. There are following files
android_secure.vfat
cache.ext4
data.ext4
nandroid
recovry
system.ext4
files
Greetings
Edit: With the All in one kit i can start the bootloader, just for information!
What were you runner ng before? Stock gingerbread or ics? Flash the kernel using fast boot. Fastboot boot boot.img

I believe you still have to flash the kernel separate from the rom. The only difference now would be instead of fastboot flashing the kernel you flash it through recovery.

And how would I do that

I wouldn't try anything like that yet. Wait for the dev's to set everything up. That is what I did on another phone. HTC is a bit different, may be you flash only the zip file containing the rom and kernel. I do believe that on HTC most phones do allow you to flash one file instead of having to flash separate files unless you wanted a different kernel then the one provided. You would do this in recovery by flashing a zip file.

With my Inspire, I could flash a kernel alone, an entire ROMs image files separately, or an entire package containing everything in one flash...all through recovery.

nope we need to add in the code of the updater-script. I would say better stay off until we have atleast one rom with the in-built kernel flashing.
i ran controlbear.exe and it booted thru hboot fastboot usb and im on my rom its still asking "waiting device" i cant even get to the wire trick....... im on freenode but the devs are out im lost hopefully xda can help me
EDIT: my bad while on fastboot usb through Hboot, I started Controlbear.exe i ran as admin CMD opens it says the title and then starting up..... waiting device....
when i flash the boot.img first i get stuck with the JuopunutBear, green arrow, and phone.... with CMD stuck on waiting device
when i reflash my roms boot.img i run ControlBear.exe only to have the same msg on CMD waiting device but my rom boots up normal....

This makes no sense at all. If you're in Android OS, something went wrong.

Easiest way is to supercid, then you can run the RUU or even just flash the Rom.zip. either will work (I did the latter since I use linux.) Then you can use any Rom. Ics needs the hboot update from the ruu

Yes it did and all I did was extract the controlbear.zip in my data folder that is used for the Vivid All In One toolkit so fastboot and adb everything is in the same directory ... Ran the .exe and everything went thru first attempt I missed the timing on the first but second I used a video I saw for another phone doing the wire trick but the timing they did definitely worked well...

Just follow this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1612685
Once you've got recovery installed and your rooted you can install any of the ICS roms. Some of them have already been updated so you don't have to flash the kernal anymore since we have s-off. Just make sure to check the instructions for the individual roms to see if you have to or not
I didn't run any ruu. Didn't relock my bootloader nothing like that. The simplest and least likely way of messing anything up I found was extract the ruu for ics. There will be a zip.called Rom.zip. I removed the hboot update itself (we don't need that one) from the zip. Then I.did fastboot reboot OEM-42. Fastboot flash zip Rom.zip.
Took a few minutes to flash. Rebooted and everything was working. The hboot I have is already higher (the one they included with juoponutbear) then the is update. But you need to get the new firmware from the ruu fo be flashed still.
Follow the guide previously posted and you should be fine tho. I just used a slightly different method to do.it myself

Can I have any fun with "S-ON.?
I just got the phone a couple days ago (new to HTC androids), now its rooted+bootloader unlocked+CWM. I don't trust myself to perform the S-OFF procedure...
I just want to try some custom (ICS) ROMs... What can I do (flash?) with S-ON?
Thanks for putting up with my noobness.
You can flash all of them, I'm in the same boat, not new to HTC, but don't want to 100% void warranty. I have a vivid, just pick your Rom and kernel, then open the kernel and find boot.img then in fastboot type fastboot flash boot boot.img, then flash your Rom from recovery. Works well.

I just bought a HTC Vivid, and before I start rooting and doing all that stuff, I'd like to know if anyone has a 2.3.4 stock rom. I want this because if I brick it then I will be able to flash it back, and I can't seem to find one. I've been searching all over, so if anyone has a stock rom it would be very helpful!
Thank you
I hope this is the right category, just registered
Just use this...if your bricked you won't be able to use recovery to flash a Rom...here is a ruu...its not gingerbread but it will bring you to official ics stock...http://dl3.htc.com/application/htc_vivid_att_RUU_3.26.502.56_US.exe

Oh even better, I was just planning to go back to 2.3.4 then upgrade to 4.0.3 anyways, this is great. Thanks a bunch!
EDIT: Wait, will this act as a flash and flash the whole OS on my vivid back to ICS 4.0? or just update it...

Okay, good. Thanks. Sorry, first time rooting
Which also means that it'll flash the stock kernel, ROM, and wipe your entire phone. Remember to relock the bootloader before running the RUU if it's unlocked.

How would I go about unlocking/locking it back up? I'm not quite sure what to do, I don't have the phone just yet, but its in the mail. I'll most likely need help rooting it when I get it..

Getting your phone flashed to the ICS RUU will help you later when flashing custom roms (as I believe all of them are ICS-based)
The Superguide sticky thread in development can help you with the Bootloader Unlock procedure and many other things like rooting and prepping your phone for the S-OFF procedure (if you want to S-OFF your phone). Link below.
Unlocking the bootloader gives you permission to flash to partitions like your recovery partition (so you can flash custom recovery like clockworkmod etc.)
Once your bootloader is unlocked, RUU's will refuse to flash to your phone until you re-lock the bootloader. To relock your bootloader, power up the phone into HBOOT/Bootloader mode, choose Fastboot, then in a command prompt, run the command:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
To confirm it worked, next time you power up the phone into HBOOT/Bootloader mode, you should see at the top of the screen **RELOCKED**
Then you will be able to flash an RUU via your computer (while having your phone in fastboot mode)
When you get to the S-OFF portion of the superguide:
If you DO want to S-OFF your phone, follow that section of the superguide EXACTLY. It has important steps for prepping your phone for the S-OFF procedure.
If you do NOT want to S-OFF your phone, note that whenever you flash custom ROMS, the kernel partition must be flashed manually via fastboot (either before or after flashing the rom - I don't think it matters if it is before or after - anyone know this for sure?). I think every ROM includes the kernel (boot.img) file inside the zip so you can copy it to the same folder that has your fastboot.exe so you can run:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Here is the superguide link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416836
Or use the toolkit...its easy and walks you through the steps of unlocking bootloader and rooting...it also has a relock bootloader option so you can relock it in a click of a button...
If your gonna use the ruu...use it before you even root/unlock.the bootloader...that way you won't have to relock it
Here's the toolkit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1498003

Wow! Thank you both for your information. I'm sure that they will both help me out greatly when it comes down to rooting.
I am running 2.3.4 on my phone and looking to update next week when I get my new battery. Did you have any issues with your update? Are you running ICS now? Any advice?
Follow the user guides. It's not hard or long just make sure you read the guides so you can update the bootloader properly.
its impossible to get ahold of the RUU's for the vivid, i need the stock Bell one, seeing that i have a Virgin Mobile SIM, I'm still on GB and i want to update to ICS. already going through the process of returning to S-ON

Perhaps a new question thread is more appropriate for your issue. I recommend you do that and describe this boot loop in more detail. Also, I remember there being a thread re: s-off unsuccesful doesnt mean phone is bricked.

You guessed right, HTC decided that unlocking bootloader should work pretty much like on a Nexus device, so no S-OFF needed or other things like that.
Other proof here.
Yep just flash the rom or mod in recovery and that's it

Thats very nice! A lot more easy flashing en getting back to old nandroid. So nandroid backup also back ups the boot.img

I've read and read and understand and see the process to unroot and return to stock with rru so I'm prepared to do that if I need to but I need help answering the question of why i have flashed this rom on a previous vivid for a friend and needless to say it worked flawlessly. However not this time or I should say not the last 10+ times I've tried.. help please!=/ do I need to s-off?
And why do other roms work but not this one?

Flash the boot.img in fastboot. boot.img is in the rom.zip
"fastboot flash boot boot.img"
Yeah I had flashed the boot image and it would go to a black screen after. Idk what the issue was but I returned it to stock and tried again it's working now.
