Some phones don't have the nessary files to make system files working. Either HTC hasn't made file for later development uses or just some devs don't put the hours into it. I bet it took chun a while to get gsm ( ril ) working. Just give it time. I'm working on sence 4.1 and its hardest thing I've worked on. It's just hard finding the files to make ril work. I'm close but still have a lot of work to complete ril. Just give it time. Things will spark up.

Also I'm on boost mobile unlimited/shrinkage, my incredible was flashed to boost mobile, I pay $50 monthly, but my account balance is at $38, not sure if that applies to me not getting my 3g, since I already paid my monthly payment.

Possibly radio related. Try flash a newer radio
Edit: BTW you got the wrong thread buddy
First off, this should be in Q&A forum. This is not a development question.
Did you do a *228/PRL update, or did you turn the phone off while it was in airplane mode? If so, your 3G won't come back unless you follow the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=817487
Flash the first gingersense leak by rmk40. Should fix it
-My life is a shooting range, people never change-
Your phone will not work on a Verizon ROM when its flashed to Boost.Boost is Sprint and will not work with the included radios etc that are for Verizon.I could be wrong but I'm fairly certain it won't work.

RADIOS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. I'm on cricket wireless running newts runnymede 3.5 with the latest 07.07 radio. after you flash the rom you want, you will then have to flash it to boost. I have used every incredible radio with many different roms. So your gonna have to search on how to flash the phone back to boost or pay someone to do it
Are you guys sure? Everything else is working, mms,calls, etc its just my 3g
Sent from my HTC Droid Incredible ADR6300 using XDA App
Did you use boost apns with apn backup and restore? With me on cricket my 3g always works its the mms I got to fight with. Was it originally a boost phone? Can you access epst, if so make sure its all set for boost sometimes when I flash a rom it changes my epst settings in the security tab and mip profile tab to vzw and I got to change them back

Need for Wifi Tethering andKernels

Is there anyone around who knows why we haven't seen any custom kernels out? Is there something preventing them, or just no dev interest? The resound seemingly has dozens. I'm used to the evo and then 3d that were swimming in kernels even before launch day. Just wondering what's up.

I think the lack of source code and developers (we only have 4, although quality ones) are the main reasons why we don't have multiple kernels available. So far we only have Sense 3.0 source code and only one unlockable? Kernel from bananacakes.

I personally think the phones performs extremely well without overclockable kernel. It would be nice, but not a deal breaker for me. I think Vivid still trumps skyrocket with its solid feel and more accurate detailed screen. Really though, I'm a huge fan of Sense.
me too, but i would also like to have more control of my device and have the option of multiple roms, i want miui
at this point i regret not getting a skyrock or a pos 4s
All I want is wifi tether to work. I hate having to use sense 3.5 to just have tethering. I prefer 3.0, seems to be better.

For me wifi tethering doesn't work on sense 3.5 ROMs but it does on 3.0.

[Q] S-OFF HTC Vivid

is there a way to get s-off for the htc vivid?
Nope and atm its not needed

Search, people, search!!!
I've seen this question at least twice in the past 24 hours, and this isn't a fast moving forum!
Doktor is right; it's not available and is not (yet) needed. Certain people have S-Off just because of either the way their phone happened to come from the factory, or because they just have developer devices.

Can we have a sticky with FAQs like this? search functions are rarely perfect for me (even though in one case, the answer is actually on the first page)
:facepalm: There already is one. No one bothers to read so I hardly even work on it.
Also search functions are pretty good, you just have to you know read, and refine your search if it comes up wrong.

Oh the irony... LOL :what:
Anyhow, I wish people would stop saying that we don't need it... With s-off, we would not be stuck waiting for carrier signed hboot images; as soon as one carrier released it or someone received a leak, we would all be able to use it. Right now, each user is stuck waiting for their carrier. So, all the Canadian users are stuck on GB for now for example.

As far as I understand it the firmware from onr will not work with the other. Irregardless of s-off, the radio for ics I think was change so you would still need your carriers updated radio.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
I can't comment on whether there was a change of radio from GB to ICS in the releases so far. However, I can tell you that Rogers and Bell in Canada use the same frequencies and protocols as US AT&T. I have an AT&T SIM that I use when travelling in the US and my Raider works fine. So I infer that either the radios are identical (att vs Bell, not GB vs ICS) or compatible. With S-Off, I would be up and running.
Also, if I understand correctly, with S-off, we would be free to mix and match, so I could try the ATT ICS Rom, with the Bell GB radio. Anyhow, all wishful thinking for now.

For those interested in s-off ;-) you may want to take a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1573491
OP there indicates he is beta testing an s-off tool on pur device. You may want to express your thatnks and support there...

Looks like they're close to releasing it too. Been actively following that thread cuz I'm dying to install some wicked custom ics roms on my raider and my wife's. . Super stoked for this.
Sent from my HTC Raider X710e using xda premium
once s-off is done then yes will be able to flash roms from other htc devices to the vivid.as s-off lets you flash different radios instead having to use the radios the roms come with
Will s-off allow us to install kernels from recovery (so we don't need to fastboot from the computer each time)? Or do we just need a recovery capable of this?
Yes it let's you flash kernels in recovery

Vivid and its problems

Hi, I was thinking of getting a vivid to tide me over for at least a year and was wondering about a few things.
No aosp roms except for synergy working on one and virtuous inquisition being the closest to an aosp feel; am I right?
What's the whole deal with the ril and is there any rom where it is not an issue?
Do the sense 4 roms on here have everything working but the ril?
Just wanted to ask these questions and save a little time not searching.

You are pretty much up to speed, except that there are two close-to-AOSP ROM's to choose from.
Does being stuck on lte have any real issues anyway? I assume if lte isn't present in your area it's only just a battery drainer

Nah it's fine. I live in a LTE zone and I don't notice so much battery drain.

Yes.
RIL is an issue in the AOSP ROM (IIRC) and Sense 4. This is primarily because of LTE being a nuisance.
There are no publically released Sense 4 ROMs, but yes.
Ehh, you should probably search anyway. It's easy, and you risk getting flamed if you don't.

No, not that I know of. I live in a non-LTE area, and I still have no problem getting 2 days out of the phone on the psuedo-AOSP ROMs, and about 1.3 on a Sense ROM. Still better than my Captivate, but worse than the Inspire.
Just wish we could get AOSP tethering

Hardware is almost exactly the same
Also. Kernel has almost nothing to do with cellular connections, it specifies how the software should interact with the hardware and nothing else
The GPE port and 4.2.2 sense 5 ports are both using kernels made for the international version

So we have to wait for HTC to release 4.2 CDMA radios, or CDMA 4.3 radios, for those roms to work? Like we have the google edition port, but data doesn't work. What do we need to get that fixed?
No we don't have to wait for that. We have all we need to get it working now. Just give it a few mire days.
