Hello,
After the OTA update, my Vivid doesn't want to turn on at all. When I connect it to USB I get QHSUSB_DLOAD and nothing happens.
Any ideas ? Thank you !
Your phone is done. There is no way to fix the problem beside getting a new phone.

I wouldn't say that. Since the chipset could be written, it is not completely dead. Sensation users have already found a fix for this, but it is a different chipset.
We don't have the files needed to recover. Either you need to get it replaced under warranty or insurance.

Which OTA update? As far as I know AT&T and Telstra are the only two carriers to have released their ICS update OTA. If you're actually on Voda in Romania I don't know what would have possessed you to try installing one of those two OTAs.
..
The phone is from AT&T. It didn't have any sim card in it when I got the update.

yeah man theres no way sorry. at least for now.
to be honest, ur best bet is to call htc service and warranty and see if you can ship it to them
http://www.htc.com/us/support/service-and-repair
i've sent them many phones for repairs under warranty, and all but 1 didn't get fixed for free
Does it vibrate if your try to do the bootloader combo?
No. It doesn't react at any keypress.

There is no fix yet to Vivid brick issue. There are some great folks working in Sensation forum for a similar issue and there may be hope in the near future.
Serious Help Needed
Hello everyone. Sorry to even waste your time, but I am in need of help with my HTC Vivid. I am on an unrooted, locked bootloader, and I have been trying to upgrade to the newest ICS OTA update that I missed with the dialer code.
I have downloaded the PH39IMG.zip, and it updated my HBoot to 1.85.0024. This is where I am stuck. The phone will only show HTC on startup, and then goes black. Again I am on an unrooted HTC Vivid. Any help would be hugly appreciated. Please help out a simpleton.
Thanks for your time.
Unlock the bootloader in fastboot.
Flash recovery in fastboot
Flash boot in fastboot
Flash Rom of your choice

Did you run the PH39IMG file twice? it needs to run the file twice to complete updating the HBOOT. In any case, and this goes for all who are not very familiar with Vivid flashing, USE THE RUU!
In your current state, try to boot into bootloader (you probably already know the process, but it is power + vol down from power off state) Once you have booted into bootloader, you can proceed and upgrade to stock ICS. If you decided to run custom roms after, it is easy and much much less likely to brick your phone.
Hallelujah
Thanks so much guys. Those were helpful tips, and I have ICS running now. Thanks again. Have a good one.
hi everybody,
I'm stuck!
I' tried everything I can think of, I've search hi and lo and I cant find a fix for my problem. My phone for the last several months has been working flawlessly with twrp/trickdroid but since there dosen't seem to be any more support for trick droid I decided to put another rom on the phone. Now I've never had an issue doing things this way but something is screwed up and I could use someone who is smarter than me help. I wiped the phone and now I cant get my phone and pc to communicate. Everytime I try to adb sideload i get an error stating device not found. twrp recovery is still on the phone and i can still boot into the boot loader if needed. I just cant put my new rom on the phone. I've done everything i can think of, searched everywhere i think possible. this isn't my first android that iv modded but it is the first time i haven't been able to find a solution for my problem. please help!

thanks for the link, my device isnt even s-off and never has been, so to mess up this bad without s-off scares me,
i have the new M8 on the way and should be with me tomorrow so im not too upset just kinda makes me a little hesitant about flashing in the future.
i will keep an eye on here to see if there is any way to fix and the link you provided,
thank you again,

can you check the Frequently Asked Question sticky page 3 on how to get a ROM onto your phone. (adb push, sideload or otg cable)
and for back to stock, use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541082
Good morning XDA participants.
I have a very big problem and I think that I converted my phone is just a paperweight.
After a lot of tries of change s-on to s-off, I was not able to do it. For some reason, I think that was a little tired and boring, I did something and now my phone doesn't load OS. Just turn on and stay on the HTC screen logo, I can enter to recovery but after try factory reset the problem continues.
Could be possible recover the phone? Or I have to forget that Will work again...it's just have 3 weeks
