1. I use arhd's super wipe tool, available from his thread in development section, even for other ROMs and it works fine, or u can do it all manually in recovery.
2. Yes
3. Flash through recovery. Download zip to root of sd card using pc, boot into recovery and follow instructions...simples

I think u need to be s-off before u can root, but I may be wrong. U might aswell s-off as u need this to flash custom ROMs and therefore use ROM manager, as this needs superuser rights which u get with s-off and root.

On the topic of both starter questions and installations, why won't ROMs flash with s-off? What's the big difference between that and s-on and why does one void our warranty with HTC?
(Apologies in advance, if this derails this thread at all.)

You mean why can't we flash ROMs with S-ON! Because this means security on. Basically HTC went and locked their bootloader on most earlier devices and therefore they cannot be hacked. The AlphaRev team have successfully managed to develop a tool to achieve this and enable users to gain root access, install ClockWorkMod recovery (a way of installing custom ROMs and also taking a snap shot of ur current ROM is you mess up and need something to go back to) custom themes etc, etc.
HTC have apparently learnt the error of their ways and promised not to lock the bootloaders in their newer shipped models, however they don't particularly like us messing around with it hence voiding the warranty if you do this...but it is possible to go back to S-ON like nothing ever happened using AlphaRev.
Hope this answers your question, now stick to the topic....
Ha, only joking

Of course I know I need to e-off my device be4 roo/flash rom. What I want to know is : do I need to s-off before using rom manager.

ROM Manger needs root access, so yes you need S-OFF so you can root and install ROM Manager

Yes if you had a GB radio/ROM combination and you tried to flash a Froyo RUU then you have a radio bricked IncS.

Just a question, have you taken battery out and put it back in to let the phone boot back up itself?
Sent from my Incredible S using xda premium

First of all, can your phone correctly boot into bootloader mode? If yes, you may have a chance to make it back to alive!!

i am so sad . if i send the phone to htc they can fix it or not ??? and if anyone know any place here in turkey please tell me.

This is the last chance. But they can refuse to repair or you have to pay for the new hardware. Give it a try. Good Luck!

Well if you have warranty then its worth a shot you can find the info at www.htc.com on the contact us page

Have you ever flashed a different radio?

As far as I remember this seems to be a very early issue of IncS which should have been fixed officially long ago. Yes, you might like to try newer radio to see if it helps.

Can u give me new radio to flash

Check out the development forum. Try one of those radio for GB.

I've had the problem for months... The latest official OTA fixed it for me

can we fix it on custom rom?

[Q] Flashed ViperROM, Touchscreen not working

So i just flashed ViperROM for my Sprint HTC One and it seemed to install fine but when it boots up the touchscreen doesnt work so i cant even unlock my phone. Touchscreen works in TWRP so it must be a problem with the rom. Bad download maybe? Restoring a backup until i can find an answer.

I don't think it works with the new firmware that was released recently ..viperRom is from the 1.29 release

Ur phone must of been updated to the newest update so the touchscreen drivers was updated. HTC likes to remove backwards compatibility with their touchscreen drivers so u need to be running a Rom on base 1.31

HTC Vivid Custom Rom Flashing Problem NEED HELP!

Hey guys i just rooted my HTC Vivid and when i go to install a custom rom which was the CM10 Nightly rom it would get stuck on the cynagen boot logo. Also im using TWRP 2.6 just to let you know. I rooted with superuser 1.25. Thanks please if you can give me a step by step tutorial i would really appreciate it! If you can give me a custom rom link as well! Thanks!

Did you do a full wipe? Data, cache, dalvik all need to be wiped. Did you unzip the ROM and make a copy of the boot.img file and flash it in fastboot? Are you s-off or s-on?

Before posting an 'I have a problem' thread... You should read...
The boot.img and the WiFi drivers are linked... If you don't flash the kernel... Your WiFi will never work...
It says so on EVERY OP for EVERY ROM...
Please stop only reading the first 2 sentences of the OP and read the whole thing... I am truly getting sick of people asking the same damn questions for over 2 years...

Well I'm sorry sir I'm new to android rooting and flashing and I dont know how to manually flash roms and kernels via Flashboot. So if you could give the instructions I would gladly appreciate it.

There is a 'superguide' provided by slapshot in the dev threads I think... He goes into GREAT detail... About how to deal with all of this...
It would be better to read that instead of the Reader Digest version I would spit out here...

Alright rignfool. If you can still help me I would gladly appreciate it. I recently flashed the kitkat 4.4 rom and whenever I'm for example listening to music on this app called rocketplayer and I go to the homescreen it switches the music input from the headphones to the internal phone speaker. I also tried out a different app but it was the same problem. Furthermore, whenever I used the built in app which is apollo it says dsp manager has stopped working and then says you can blame the split screen. Ofcourse, the split screen isnt designed for the Htc Vivid that I have but how do i stop the problem that im having?
