Hi I just got a Vivid today and was wondering where to start. I am coming from a unlocked Dell streak using streak mod recovery. This uses clockwork I take it. Was wondering what the s on and s off stuff is and which is the best root method. I've seen 3. Btw this is a att locked vivid.
Thanks for any help and nice to meet you all.

"S-ON" means security on. So that means you can't flash unsigned ROM's. And the best way to start with the rooting and unlocking is with the "[SUPERGUIDE] ICS-Root-Flash-Stock" or the "[TOOL] HTC Vivid All-In-One Toolkit V2.2 [6-7-2012] [PERM ROOT] [Noob-Proof]" If you're a complete noob. They're both in the development part for the Vivid at the top of the list. Best of luck to you.

S-off is most useful for allowing the recovery to flash the kernel in a new ROM. You can still do this manually via fastboot and a PC. Other than that, you should be able to flash the other parts of the ROM without s-off, but Your Mileage May Vary.
The process for s-off is detailed in the Vivid Android development section as well, but be warned it is marginally difficult and requires a Phillips 000 screwdriver in order to remove one of the backplate on the phone. That being said, it is a worthwhile endeavour and you only need to do it once. Since you're already on AT&T, you don't need to worry about getting the ICS hboot on your phone, so this process is one step easier.

Also in the superguide in the development section where it talks about flashing kernels, there is an app there that lets you flash kernels in android so you do not have to do it in fastboot. Hope you enjoy your phone.

Thanks for all the good info guys. I can tell I'm gonna like it here.

I looked for this app in the superguide in pages 35-40 I see them talk about the app but no link to it.

How to root HBOOT 2.0.002

Hi folks,
Yesterday I upgraded to official ICS on my HTC Incredible S, however it's very laggy. Been reading some of the threads here and it seems that none of the methods are working for HB00T 2.0.002 rooting? Is it true, if not please point me in the right direction. It would be a real help for me.
I am a complete noob, btw

The only way now is to use the htcdev method, which is in onne of the stickies the op is lynt
The downgrade method won't work with the new hboot you have from the ota

Well as for bugs, we still don't have WiFi working, camera is not working at all at one rom and on another one camera recording is not working.
BT is still work in progress, but it works on one rom and will be fixed soon.
MIC is our biggest problem for now, other than that, everything works, rotation, 3d acceleration, sensors, GPS, 3g/signal, SDcard, sounds - speakers, mount USB and probably i forgot the rest.

Not bad!

Just to share with you guys. After having compiled and testing then compiled and testing again and again I feel like having a new phone when it is running. I loved this phone from the beginning and at that time it was just a great phone, but then all other devices have other ROMs than only sense ROMs as we have and I was bored about it. I keep thinking, perhaps this phone was to slow to be a great device, until I first time flashed jelly bean. No matter if it was Codefirex or Evervolv or CM10.1 all running either android 4.2.1 or 4.2.2 I've tested the whole phone was just much more fast and nice to use. I can assure you that this will be a revolution for sensation xl

Personally I have not tested battery drain at all, the last 2-3 weeks my xl has been connected to the machine I compiles on did a testrum yesterday with evervolv so when I get home I will charge phone fully and just let it run until it is dead, in idle state then we will have some idea about if it is good or bad

but sat we go to update the software in settings>aboutphone>software updates is there a chance you could create a server for ported updates and set the defaul to download it from the server? therefore allowing ota updates on a unlocked phone?

That is what OTA update center is for , and i have included that in my MIUI rom and it is working just fine. You can see what i am talking about here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29501085
and i also think that we will put it in that way it is much easy for all to get the updates for future jellybeans, But with that app it will only allow you to get updates from the rom you are using. So if you are using Codefirex you will not see updates from Evervolv.
But in theory, it is possible to edit ota update center app, so it is used when going via settings --> about phone --> Software updates.
If a developer adds the app to a rom, just out of the box, no edit to it, it will come like a seperat app you are opening to see if there is an update, or it will do it automaticly.
Also you cant as an user download the app and then use it , it has to be put in by the developer.
It is infact pretty simple to get working :
1. Download the latest version of the app from our GitHub page.
2. Put the app in /system/app of your ROM.
3. Pick a ROM ID that you will use in our database. This should have no spaces and preferably be all-lowercase.
4. Add the following properties to your build.prop:
---otaupdater.otaid=<ROM ID you picked from previous step>
---otaupdater.otatime=<Date/time of this build in yyyymmdd-hhmm format>
---otaupdater.otaver=<The human-readable version number/name>
5. Package your ROM, generate an MD5 of the zip file, and upload it somewhere.
6. Add/update your ROM in our database. You will need the ROM ID you picked, the device you packaged for, and the URL and MD5 of the zip file.
For further updates, just make sure you update the otatime and otaver properties in build.prop

It amazes me what yous people can do!

Looking for new Rom.

I've been running holics 1.3 as my dd for a long time but I'm looking for something new. I heard the Pac Rom is nice. Anyone recommend anything better then go holics?
Thanks!
P.s. does PlayStation certified mean I can play psp games?

i'm running holics as well on my vivid and was also looking for a new one. I think i am going with the touchwiz rom made by xXSHaDoWsomethingXx based off of Pacman, you might want to take a look at that.

PacMan is good & stable. The battery life is good as well. Would highly recommend if you're looking for a change.

Noob questions
Hi,
I'm new here and I need to ask a couple of things. I really want to root the phone and work with it because the battery is killing me with its phenomenally short live.
So, the 2 questions. What rom would you recommend as worth to try? For what I have been reading Paranoid or PAC appears to be the one with almost no problems related to phone operability.
And the second question is where I can find a proper guide on how to root this phone? I am not new to rooting a phone have done that before with an HTC desire and a Galaxy S2 but I am having a hard time finding a proper guide to root the HTC vivid.
Thank you very much for your help and sorry for my noob questions.

There is a super guide in development

Been using Borked, awesome rom.

Borked 2.5 beta is a good choice. For being a beta it doesn't have very many bugs from what i've seen.

PAC, Paranoid Android, and cyanogen mod are all good. I'll give a link to a ton of ROMs that you can try.

I've tried almost every ROM. JB ROMs isn't to att friendly as the in call volume is super low. first on ma list is virtouis inquisition on battery life an performance and sound quality second is darkraider has aroma installer and like 7 kernels to choose from an a whole bunch of install options and if u wanna change any of the kernels are settings offered to u in the install just reflash zip an gives u option to change setting super clean an super easy to use also very good on battery life performance and sound in audio and in call. jb ROMs I like cm10 with sultan kernel developed by a super smart 15 year old xda developer he's the only one working on the volume fix as we speak as and yes fixed a whole bunch of jelly bean ROM problems and the thing that flips my head the most is he don't even own or have a vivid

i'm also running cm10 with sultan kernal. runs great, no issues. if you use it you cant get the most up to date version of gapp's, there's a slightly older version that works with the vivid/cm10 much better

Seriously gotta try borked 3.2, its amazing.

There is two way to solve problem:
1- go to system setting>wifi , turn WiFi off and from menu select advance, noe go to Wi-Fi region code and select China code. WiFi will start automatically.
2- download this file and install on your phone:
