[Q] Vivid Leaked ICS to Official ICS

I upgraded my phone using the leaked ICS build that hit a little bit before the final one was released. I would like to get my phone updated to the official ICS build. I was looking through GSLEON's thread in the dev forum and he mentions:

The absolute safest way to update to ICS is to relock your device & return it to as close to stock as you can get it. Relocked you can flash the leaked GB AT&T rom in football's thread.

GSLEON3 said:
Make sure that if you have a custom recovery that is is updated & double check that it is. Write the version numbers down to confirm, both before & after.
There was an early recovery that could not (CANNOT) be overwritten without flashing a modified PH39IMG file first, then flashing stock or new modified recovery.
If you update with your device with that original recovery, you may be very sorry.

I'm pretty sure this applies to me, here's my information:

My problem with this is two-fold:
1. I'm not sure where to get the specially modified ph39img
2. I'm really nervous because I like my phone a lot!
Any help you can offer would be really appreciated!
Here's a screenshot of my homescreen because I accidentally took one while getting it out of the case!

Well firstly the RUU your referring to is for official gingerbread. You dont need to flash the modified file unless you have the old recovery so thats un needed. Use this official RUU link http://dl3.htc.com/application/htc_vivid_att_RUU_3.26.502.56_US.exe to flash your phone to the official ics build.

Thanks for the heads up, sorry for misinterpreting things. I'll give this a go when I get off work!

Looks like it worked! Thanks again

TWRP OK?
I have done some research on this and have found that I can get s-off by flashing a RUU rom. The thing is is that I have to have an updated recovery. Right NOw i have the TWRP 2.4.4.0 and wondering if Im good to flash the RUU or if i need to return to stock recovery.
I dont mind losing root as I can re root it.

Try it again but you have to use original RUU ICS for your device before following these steps

Found some more research with the borked ROm which seems to turn s-off. The rom is compiled from a stock ruu so im thinking I can still flash this Unlock_code.bin and get me unlocked with this awesome rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2171741
all thanks goes to homeslice976 and please dont beat me up for posting your link as I am looking for easier ways to get this phone unlocked so i can activate it on tmobile.
It seems that I have found an alternative to having the bootloader unlocked and the s-off to be able to change the radio to tmobile with Unlock_code.bin on the stock RUU img
I have since flashed the WXC recovery pretty awesome wildchild, great work!

Help!!! Error[155] Unknown Error

Help, I am trying to Install custom rom and i get the Error[155] Unknown Error while trying to S-Off the Device.
Earlier i had tried to S-Off and had done it successfully, somewhere, somehow, i had managed to screwup the phone where it would not pass the the HTC screen. so i had to try and get the phone back to stock and i guess thats where the issue began. I downloaded the RUU "RUU_VIVO_ICS_35_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_4.10.707.1_Radio_20.74.30.0833U_3831.18.00.11_M_release_266513_signed" and was successful in installing, after which any RUU i run, i get the Error 155. the RUU is a Asian release and not happy with it as there is no English UK or US in it.
currently the details of my Device are as Follows
Security: S-On
HBoot: 2.02.0002
Radio: 3831.18.00.11_M
Bootloader: Unlocked
Managed to install ROM "vivo_signed_WWE_4.10.405.1_ICS_SENSE36_8" today. But i desperately want to install a ROM with Sense 4. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

(Code 155 )means that your bootloader is unlocked !
I do not understand fully , but To install A (Ruu.exe) your bootloader must be relocked
Relock bootloader

With an unlocked bootloader, you simply need to flash a custom Recovery to your device and then you will be able to flash any custom ROM you want. The only drawback is to remember to manually flash the ROM's boot.img file in FASTBOOT USB mode since you have an unlocked bootloader.
There is a sticky thread that details how to install a custom recovery and flash custom ROMs. It's title indicates HBOOT 1.16 and 2.00, but it will also work with unlocked 2.02.0002. that you have also.
If you really insist of getting S-OFF back, then you will need to visit the Downgrade Script sticky post and use that procedure to downgrade your ROM and HBOOT.

I do Have ClockworkMod Recovery Installed.

You are not going to be able to flash an official RUU because you currently have the most recent one installed and you cannot downgrade without using the Downgrade script.
Beside, you said you want a ROM with Sense 4 so your only choice is going to be a custom ROM. So just unlock your bootloader and go to the Development section and try out the different Sense 4 ROMs and quit trying to get a RUU going.

Thank you tpbklake,
I did try to use the Custom Rom by Nik (Nik's Project X)
After installing the ROM, the boot process does not pass beyond the Initial HTC Screen. It gets stuck there. also triedleaving it at the same screen for over an hour.
Any thoughts on that?

Tried Installing IceCold Sandwich 8.3 and Cooldroid 6.1 (previously Nik's Project X)

Once again, when you have the unlocked bootloader and you are flashing a custom ROM via Recovery, you then need to extract the boot.img file that is in the ROM's zip file and flash it manually in FASTBOOT USB mode! That is how you get around the issue with hanging at the HTC Screen and that is the step you have missed. I even gave you a link yesterday to the thread that tells you how to flash a custom ROM on the unlocked hboot.
So please read the posts to your questions very carefully and completely.

Radio update?

I'm a noob so go easy. My wife has a stock HTC one and I'm rooted with s-off running viper rom. Recently there was an OTA radio update. My question is, can I pull the radio from my wife's stock ONE and push it to my Viper ONE? If so, can someone give me the ADB commands....

Sprint One Stock 1.31.651.2 Rooted / Unrooted / Firmware / OTA Package
I've been through that whole thread and no one gives an answer to my question. All I want is the radio, someone said they tried a radio update with adb but didn't think it worked and no one gave a yes or no whether or not that would work. That's what I'm asking in the Q&A forum.

I think you need to fastboot one of the provided zips, there was reference they are signed. The s-off without the bootimg and hoot were no issues for me, think if you exclude the other stuff in that one, it will work, but might set up for an issue on next update. More will come the next few days, better to wait until ironed out, usually there are a few that brick until the firmware is better understood.
Anyway, the soff, no hoot, no bootimg did not cause any issues, extra flashes, or having to reload rom.

It's not fastboot per se, I'm pretty sure you have to flash new radios on the One with the RUU command (which I can't remember for the life of me, I think it's fastboot rebootRUU and then you can flash radio).

You have to flash one of the firmware zips and then either restore your backup, reflash the rom, or reflash your kernel if you have any problems - not sure if an early problem was resolved from just flashing the firmware

I just used the revone s-off method and flashed the s-off firmware zip. Gives the new radio and leaves the boot components intact. Viper rom still running flawlessly with no need to wipe or reload anything.

I too simply flashed the s-off firmware for the radio using: fastboot rebootRUU then fastboot flash "firmware".zip. End result got the new radio and nothing else was altered. I am running eclipticone Rom 3.7

No you don't want to relock just make sure you get the correct firmware for s-off users, and you obviously must be s-off then flash in fastboot. fastboot oem rebootRUU then fastboot flash zip "firmware".zip

[Q] HELP!!! Unroot Attempt - Different Fastboot than the normal

Hello All,
Here's my dilemma. I successfully rooted my HTC One (AT&T), and was recently attempting to unroot it. I followed this one here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2182823. Since I have the AT&T version, I downloaded the first one the list found there, however it wouldn't verify. Next I downloaded the AT&T AIO here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2242635. I was able to use that to figure out according to the info it displayed that I actually needed the Google Edition one from the previous link. I thought that was weird since I dont have the google edition one. But when I fast booted that one, everything appeared to go through with a hitch.....Until it restarted.
After it restarted, I only have a black screen. No start up. I restarted the phone and went into the bootloader and to my surprise, the bootloader was black instead of the normal white.
I've tried several RUUs found here http://www.androidruu.com/index.php?developer=M7
I've tried both the exe and flashing the zip.
I have no clue what to try next. Please XDA, your my only hope.

Are you s-off? I would assume so if you've been able to run multiple RUUs and are getting weird signature results. What mods/roms did you do to your phone before you started all this?
If you can get to bootloader, you're not bricked. You're on the 3.06 GE hboot, but it's not clear why you can't boot up.

You bought it new? Not used from someone else? If so, it was always s-on.
You're on GE firmware somehow. It's possible you have a conflict with your model or carrier ID. Can you run through the exact steps you took when you started trying to unroot? Exactly which files you used and how you ran them?

I received the phone directly from HTC through a sell to earn contest.
Not sure if it matters much but I unlocked the bootloader through HTC Dev.
To unroot,
1) Put phone in bootloader with fastboot
2) Relocked bootloader
3) fastboot oem rebootRUU
4) fastboot flash zip 2.24.401.1.zip (failed)
Used one of the AIOs that stated I had modelid: PN0712000 and cidnum: CWS__001. That when I grabbed the GE version.
5) fastboot flash zip 3.06.1700.10.zip
6) Phone finished, rebooted to a black screen
7) Rebooted into bootloader (Which is now black instead of white)
8) Sad ever since....

Where did you get that GE zip? I'm not sure why the AIO toolkit told you that you were GE but I'd like to check the file.
I suspect the problem is that you have 4.3 GE firmware but a 4.1 OS. Flashing a 4.2 or 4.3 rom might fix.

:facepalm: Just realized the issue.
Your bootloader is locked and you still have custom recovery installed, I'm guessing. Can you select Recovery in bootloader and see what happens? If you're still with TWRP or CWM, that's the issue; you can't boot locked on custom recovery.
You have to unlock again or flash the stock recovery in fastboot. Unlocking will wipe your phone, unfortunately.
Flashing recovery in fastboot is easy if you have the stock recovery file.

You are right about having the recovery option in the bootloader but when I try to select that option, Android shows up with the spinning blue thing in it's stomach, then it dies with a red triangle.

Actually, I think that red triangle is stock recovery. I think to get to the recovery options you press power+vol up on that screen. But it doesn't matter because clearly you're not on custom recovery.
I don't see that 3.06 firmware package in the OP of that thread. Can you find the post you found it attached to?

If you click on the download link in that post for the GE it downloads as that 3.06 firmware..
Also, not sure if it was smart or not but I unlocked the bootloader again to see if it would fix the conflicts you mentioned before. Haven't tried flashing anything yet...
ADD: I just successfully flashed the stock recovery.... Too scared to muck something up so I'll waif for your superior guidance!

I forgot Mike updated that link.
Okay, I see what you did now. You've essentially upgraded your phone to a GE because the android-info.txt in this official firmware matched your MID and CID; that allowed it to run. The problem is that you can't go back now because you're s-on. Your phone won't boot because you have the GE kernel installed but I assume a Sense rom.
This should be easy to fix. You can flash custom recovery now that you've unlocked, then flash a custom rom. This will get your kernel and rom consistent again and you should be able to boot.
Unrooting is a different story. You can't go back to the stock configuration you had when you got the phone without s-off, which you can't get on 1.54 hboot. I'm afraid you're stuck until AT&T releases 4.3 and you can run a RUU.

Okay, I see what you did now. You've essentially upgraded your phone to a GE because the android-info.txt in this official firmware matched your MID and CID; that allowed it to run. The problem is that you can't go back now because you're s-on. Your phone won't boot because you have the GE kernel installed but I assume a Sense rom.
This should be easy to fix. You can flash custom recovery now that you've unlocked, then flash a custom rom. This will get your kernel and rom consistent again and you should be able to boot.
Unrooting is a different story. You can't go back to the stock configuration you had when you got the phone without s-off, which you can't get on 1.54 hboot. I'm afraid you're stuck until AT&T releases 4.3 and you can run a RUU.

So no getting my white bootloader back till next release? That's ok.
However, how do I flash the custom ROM. I got the customer recovery going but I don't know how to get the ROM on there.... Flashing isn't working, still getting signature failures.
Sorry

You can only run a later firmware. When the signed 4.3 Sense firmware is released (it may be there now), you should be able to run that and get back the stock HTC bootloader.
You need to adb push the rom file onto your phone. There is a tutorial for doing it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317986

Freeze and Reboot after Configruation HTC Velocity

Hy,
I have a problem after RO-flash of my HTC Velocity 4G. After second input of configuration dialog (after ROM installation) the display freezes and a reboot will be forced.
Basic situation:
HTC Velocity 4G (GB 2.3.5 Vodafone branded)
*** LOCKED ***
HOLIDAY PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBoot 1.85.023
sMMC-boot
Feb 1 2012,01:02:37
That I have done:
1. Unlocked bootlaoder by HTC-dev and „WinDroid HTC Vivid Toolkit 2.1“
2. Installed Rcovery-tool TWRP by „WinDroid HTC Vivid Toolkit 2.1“
3. Made full backup of stock-rom by TWRP
4. My fist mistake. Install “[ROM] CM-10.2 | AOSP 4.3.1 Jellybean [KANG] [Oct-31]” and GAPPS for 4.3 by TWRP. Then I have had a boot-loop. (I forgot to install boot.img of that rom because the phone is S-ON)
5. Go to recovery and restore my backup.
6. Saw in ROM-thread of XDA that is necessary to install boot.img of extracted ROM-zip. So I used “install kernel” functionality in order to install boot.img of ROM.
7. Install ROM and GAPPS again. After a log tom of displaying HTC-logo the CM boot log was displayed and Changed to first configuration dialog. So I entered my first input and the display froze and the phone made a restart. (loop)
8. I started TWRP-recovery and try to restore my stock-backup. But after restore I had a boot-loop: I think the reason is the installation of boot.img. Because of same behavior as in step 4.
9. After that I changed to boot-loader and install the boot.img of “[Rom][4.2.2] Unoffical PAC-Man Milestone RC1 (8-1-13)” and install Zip and GAPPS by using of TWRP-recovery. Same behavior as in step 7.
So I’m not able to restore my backup or install ROM. What can I do? I tried to get the stock boot.img but I can’t find any stock boot.img. What can I do?
Regards,
wawshorty
PS; I have tried to install another ROM but same behavoiur.

Did you do the wipes recommended in the OP? If not, you have a "dirty flash" and all kinds of unpleasant things can happen. I always wipe everything three times, just to be sure. Not a bad idea to do each flash more than once for the same reason.

I made serveral wipes, serveral installs. But no changes of behavour.

I'm in a very similar position with a semi-bricked phone.
I have unlocked phone with TWRP v2.6.3 installed, still have S-ON but now have no working ROM.
I've downloaded a stock ROM but can't install it.
Any help VERY gratefully received.
TIA ...
Edit: Problem solved, I found a stock ROM that worked, so all good now. Phew.

You never read the superguide...
You need yo RUU to ICS...
On vodaphone... I think that means you need supercid... Because vodaphone never released an ICS update...
Bootloader version needs to be 1.85.0025...
Otherwise none of the good ROMs will run

So it is an or condition? Either I will bach to my stock-ROM so I have to install "supercid" or I will install the "good ROMs" so I have to update the bootloader to 1.85.0025.
I'm right?

If none of the ICS ruus work on your phone... I THINK you have to s-off to set super-cid... Once you do... You can install any ruu...
As soon as your bootloader is at least 1.85.0025 you can install any of the ICS or jellybean ROMs...

OK, I will install a "good ROM". For S-OFF I have to execute the steps which are described in the folowing post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42401137&postcount=1
Is it right? Although I don't have any installed or runable ROM?
As next I'm loocking for an way to update my boot-loader. But I cant find these 1.85.0025 version. Is it right to execute step 3 of the following post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20795908&postcount=1
in oder to uptdate to the right version of hboot?

Yes... The guide in the first link changes CID...
and as for you bootloader update... It happens when you run the ruu to ICS...
On a side note... If you were to flash a stock gingerbread ROM... Your phone might boot to gingerbread if you don't want to go thru the process...

if I try to change my CID the following message will be displayed:
Code:
E:\adb>fastboot oem writecid 11111111
... INFOvreg_set: request is duplicated id 14
INFO holiday_init_sd, SD card power on ok
INFOsdcc_init_memory_device done
INFO[FAT_ERROR] fat_open_file: can not find SMART_IO.CRD
INFO[JAVACARD_ERR] SMART_IO.CRD cann't find
OKAY [ 1.070s]
finished. total time: 1.070s
E:\adb>
So the CID is not changed. And my phone is still S-ON. I read the S-OFF is prerequisite for changing of CID.
Is it enough to execute step 2 and 3 (1 I hav ealready done) of
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...08&postcount=1
without any LINUX?
If I understand you correctly I need an update for my HBOOT. So the step 3 tries to install new HBOOT by the following stament
Code:
fastboot flash zip jb_hboot.zip
.
Oh, I see that the following condition "... MAKE SURE YOU ARE ON A STOCK ROM" must be fullfilled.
Since saturday I have been trying to make the phone runnable. But no way. I dont't want back to Stock. So if I understand that correctly RUU is back to stock. Is there no way to update my HBOOT without RUU or stock?
If S-OFF is neccessary Is there no way to change to S-OFF without LINUX? (tutorual)
If I need RUU, which RUU can I use "Rogers" (Vodafone RUU is not available) and where can I download this: I prefer the (PH39IMG.zip flash).
Any suggestions???
I need any way to make the phone runable.
Thanks.

OK... It appears that I gave you directions for Someone more tech savy than yourself...
My NEW recommendation is to find a gingerbread RUU for vodaphone... You should be able to find it on goo.im in the RUU section...
Let's get your phone booted... And we'll go from there

Sorry, it seems to be that I'm stupid. The only RUU wich I have found on GOO.im is "Rezound_4.03.605.2_Global_PH98IMG.zip".

First.. Don't call yourself stupid... Everyone started somewhere...
Second... I THINK this is your ruu...

Thanks a lot.
