I've had a HTC Vivid for quite a while, but recently decided to change the Rom, Rom've tried several, but all encounter the same problem and that is that the Wifi does not work
I've done all Wipes, I have the Bootlouder Desblock, and everything, but still I do not find anything, and I get all the Roms
I wonder if someone is kind enough to explain what might happen in my case and if you have some sort of solution.
Sorry if I wrote something wrong even mishandled my English!

If you give me some guidelines on how to do I'd appreciate it!
Just download the toolkit and take the boot.img from the Rom you are using and place it in the kernel folder of the toolkit and open the program and choose flash kernel

This problem was solved by getting the s-off to your phone if you are installing some cook roms that recommended only for s-off phone

So far, what I see is more convenient because you've flashed the Kernel and I have nothing I will try that! thanks
I've seen it done to other phones, even for other HTC but do not see how he does this and want to make sure, if you give me a brief explanation of how to do it I'd appreciate it!

any detail solutions must be based on detail information ( for exsample: your current rom, kernel and your phone is s-on or s-off). have so many way to fix your phone problems that depend on status of your phone)

Hi all,
I have Incredible S, all from the factory (software, Sense..etc)
I would like to know step by step how to :
1- Install a new ROM.
2- Having the news HTC Sense 3.5 on it and also if that have any negatives or if something might not work.
3- The latest ROM I can install.
4- Any additional info you think I should know as I am new to Android and HTC world.
Thank you,
Michel
The best bit of advice I can give you is search, search, search! All the info you need dude has already been asked and answered so hit that search button and spend a bit of time finding it out for yourself. Best place to start is the development forum where you can learn and download many different ROMs and find out which is the best one for you. Good luck...and welcome!
yep, you are right,
but sometimes when you are totally new to something you need some help at least with knowing the name of the best ROM as I've found many of them with different issues.

Go read the sticky threads in the Dev section. You have some work ahead of you before you can flash a custom Rom.
Yes, I went, and all is ready, my PC and my mobile,
the only thing I need is a ROM which doesn't have problems and won't effect my device plus a new version of Sense.

Ok, then nandroid backup and start flashing Roms then. Only you will be able to determine which Rom will fit your criteria. What you may think is a 'problem' on one Rom may not be that big of deal to someone else, so just start trying them yourself.
Problems like WiFi, Camera, SD Card, Backlight, Bluetooth.. all these are problems which I think might be issue for all users .
only a starting name would be enough to me

I would agree totally with all of those which is why I personally have not even tried any of the Sense 3.0 Roms. IMHO the current GB 2.3.3 Rom with Sense 2.1 runs just fine on my IncS so I won't be able to offer you any suggestions.
Revolution HD has no known issues download that and stop complaining. There is no "best ROM" try them all, the only thing you have to lose is bandwidth and time.
I use Newt pyramid beta 3 sense 3.0 gb 2.3.4 its stable, crazy fast, as current as you can get, and if you check the last of the comments almost all of the bugs have been fixed.

My thoughts too, the only glitch that bugs me is that I sometimes lose my gsm signal here at home. I don't think there's a fix.

try a new radio...
I find the 20.2810 one has great signal
Is that a newer one than I have now? I received a 30mb update recently. Any negatives effects with it, battery life?
My current radio is 20.208.30.085AU_3805.06.03_M

yeah it's the newest. I think it works perfectly and has the best signal of all the radios I've tried
Right, I might have to look into that, just hopes it improves things for me.
I'm still considering returning the phone though due to the signal drop outs, I'm a bit reluctant to root or do anything that'll stop me from being able to return it. Can I take it that running an RUU will put everything back to stock, including radio and S Off?
Yes. If you root using AlpaharevX and not a permanent root using a gold card then flashing a stock RUU will bring you back to S-on. Give it a go, I did, happy so far and have the stock RUU downloaded and ready to go if need be.
I don't think I need a Gold Card with it being a sim free unit? So it should be just a case of following this guide http://is.gd/5wKZRZ and then flashing a different radio?
If I don't like the results then I should be able to run an RUU to get me back to stock?

Back up your current ROM just incase you f*ck up and get going flashing some ROMs I only flashed Android Revolution HD yesterday after asking the community a few questions and look forward to seeing how it goes, check out some of my posts for some of those questions if you want. If not happy will try something else and always have a carbon copy of my original stock ROM to restore if need be....simple
i am using htc incredible s, s off, rooted, but after i tried to flash vivo sense 3.1.1, i stuck on the htc screen and i only thing can do was plug off my battery... someone can help me get out from this problem??

you flashed a ROM that isn't for INC S?
Lol problem solved, you don't own a desire hd
This thread is crazy!
I suggest flashing something that's actually for the Inc S and if that doesn't work you might consider using your phone to hold papers down on windy days.

I'm sure if this is any indication of his knowledge that's about all his incs will be good for soon enough lol
Yeah I have no idea what that does to your phone. It's just a ROM tho It's not like he installed a bad radio or kernel but can't roms change your CPU parameters?

I'm not really sure it definitely isn't advisable lol..
Especially the fact that it could/would flash an improper kernel. I'm sure that could brick a phone probably

Have you backed up your ROM? If yes, just reboot into recovery and restore.
If you don't know what I am talkin about, you should go to the Q&A section and start to read until you hit somewhere which explains what you did. I doubt you will find aa solution for your issue though! The forum does not protect dulls
I flashed my rom today using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631499. Installed it in recovery via ssd then i read somewhere i needed to flash the kernel to i used boot.img and flashed it. Now its stuck on the boot logo. Please tell me i didn't just completely mess up my phone.
Need more info like what kernel how did you flash with fastboot now too get back to stock you need to relock your bootloader and run your phones ruu which you can download from htc

Somehow i managed to fix it and i got that custom rom to work. So far so good, can use the phone perfectly. That scared the well yeah out of me. I don't really enjoy the current rom but for the scare i had for about a hour or two. I will be keeping it as punishment for doing something stupid lol.
Glad you got it running if you want a great set of instructions google the Rom in my signature you have to join the site to see the vivid section and have 11 posts to see the downloads make sure to read the rules and follow them if you can't find it pm me and I will send you the link

your welcome
This happens to me sometimes. For me most of the time, it's just a bad flash and all you need to do is reflash the ROM and kernel.
Unlocked and rooted, S-on still. Was tweaking my stock Sense ICS ROM, Got it to were I kinda wanted it.. Installed some new fonts, It performed a back-up, Then while "installing" the fonts.. The system became buggy, laggy and eventually frooze so I turned it off.. Now it gets to the AT&T screen and freezes. I've tried "Factory Reset" with no luck at all. What can I do to fix this?
I want a new custom ROM, But without S-off it's kinda tricky. Is there a tutorial anywhere I could use? I was thinking obviously ICS (MAybe JellyBean if there is a port) but WITHOUT SENSE. I want a de-sensed rom.)
Thanks
Relock the bootloader and run the stock ruu file for ics , once its done just start over
Easiest way is get the hansoon2000 tool kit take ya 10 min and you will be back where you where .

I cant post the link as it wont let me, which I find really stupid!
This chap talks about flashing a kernel, how does one do this? and would this be ok on a UK phone?
Thanks for your help
You have to unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery, and flash a kernel that support this mod...
If you don't know how to, is better do anything...
Better flash a 4.2.2 Sense 5 rom.

I have unlocked boot loader and rooted I just don't understand the meaning of flashing and how one does it, I want to install the kernel that makes the htc logo into a button.
I notice in google play there is a rom manager app, would that make things easier ?

Hey man if you go into development section you will see ElementalX kernal thats whst your looking for. I suggest you go on YouTube and watch a few vids about flashing ROMs etc and remember to always backup before flashing anything. I also suggest you flash a ROM such as TrickDroid as that is compatible with said Kernal

Thanks, I decided to grow a pair and just try it and it was very easy, but i do have a couple of questions, every time you flash a new kernel you have to setup the phone from scratch and re install all apps again? No easier way of doing this?
I was also hoping that this was going to remove the branding on the bootup of the phone but it didnt, and tips on how to remove the branding?
If you're only flashing a kernel it shouldn't let you setup the phone from scratch. Unless of course you're flashing a whole ROM in which should address your other concern about removing the branding.

Well I assume its a kernel that I have flashed as I still have the branding, but I also get asked to do a complete setup as if I has just got it out of the box

You must have clicked the factory reset button or any wipe buttons in the recovery. Or the kernel developer must have badly coded the updater-script and enforced a factory reset everytime anyone installs his kernel. Which is not necessary really.
should the branding still be there tho?
Can somebody share the link of the latest RUU 2.17.401.1 please..
