I've been searching for and unable to find a stock rooted HTC Vivid rom that is flashable. Anyone able to point me in the right direction. I don't want to relock and do the RUU. If there isn't one, what is the most stable custom rom for the Vivid? Currently rooted, S-off, with cyanogen nightly, lost my stock backup somehow. Thanks in advance.
Holics is pretty much similar to stock. Popped it on my girls phone n she likes.

Nah don't do Holics. Try to find wcx stock rooted rom. I was a beta tester and I can tell you it's one of the best. Everything works and no bugs. The latest update fixed the volume and is now louder than stock. Sad to say wcx shut down for awhile cus he's very sick. But he updated almost every week since vivid was released. So I hope I was of help. U can ask anyone about wcx aka wildchild he's one of the best.

Then just flash a stock ROM and root it.
I think SuperOSR is close to stock. Has some CM Parts. No script a2sd--
Have you checked into any Modaco roms--he stays fairly stock also--
Oxygen2.2.2 very close to stock.

Blandroid, is stock with almost no changes. you can get it through Clockwork for sure and they just updated to 2.3.5.
How do I update from gb to ics when I got custom kernel and custom rom because my friend rooted my fone and I am new to this stuff. And I cant update. And I want a sense 4.0 rom. Please someone help me

You need clockwork mod installed. Then you can flash.
Follow lynts guide in the development section except you can flash any Rom you want not just cyanogenmod.
Are you s-off or just rooted?

What phone do you have? If your signature is correct and you really have a Xperia Arc S, we won't be able to help you
If you have an incredible S, can you turn the phone off, then turn it on by holding power and volume down at the same time
It should take you to a white screen, and post what it says at the top
Should say something s-on or something s-off
That would give us a good start, because flashing roms with s on or s off is a bit different
Then use the volume buttons to highlight reboot and select it using power to get back into android

Download an ICS ROM! (and a radio). Not a big stuff! NIK Projekt X is great!
AOSP much better than Sense 4.0! But not so beatifull and less stable!
So give a try IceColdSandwich 8.2)
Thanks guys I've done now!!

My wife and I both own raiders, originally from rogers..I s-offed both phones and we've been running the dark raider rom since about version 1.2 with no problems..still using wcx recovery as I haven't had any issues with it.
Our friend liked our phones enough to jump ship from blackberry and went and got a used bell raider running official ics. I unlocked his bootloader successfully, s-off worked like a charm, but here it gets weird.
It boot loops after trying to install ANY custom rom..! I tried 3 different recoveries, all of which failed on kernel install.. tried the old way and fastboot flashed the boot.img and still got boot loops or crash to recovery..I'm not new to these procedures..even had hyuh from juopunutbear irc remote in and try his hand at it with the same results.
I restored from bell ics ruu - phone boots normally. What gives? Did bell modify the hardware??

My buddy has the Rogers Raider (and I have the Bell) and I've done the root/s-off etc. on both of them and there was no difference in workflow needed.
BUT - I think you may have to flash an "insecure" kernel just once to allow your recovery to successfully flash kernels during the ROM install.
Below is the thread where you can download kozmikkick's insecure (aka "stockish") kernel. It's mentioned in the first post of the thread below. Give that kernel a flash (It looks like it is in a ZIP format that you can install via your ClockWorkMod recovery?) then try to flash your desired kernel. If you want to flash the stockish kernel manually, look inside the zip. There is a "holiday.img" file.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1572015
Also - Not sure if this matters, but I have been using ClockWorkMod v5.5.0.4 recovery and I have been able to flash many roms (and their respective kernels during the rom install)
Good luck!
So, since he's already s-off now and whatnot I can flash the "stockish" kernel you mentioned on his stock rom? Or will I have to try flashing a custom rom along with it? And if so, coming from Bell do you have any rom recommendations? I'm a fan of the dark raider rom personally.

Sorry bout the link.
I'm not sure if it will work with stock... my assumption would be yes because its called "stockish"... but I dont know. I say wait until you're ready to flash a custom rom before you try it. So - flash the stockish kernel (i prefer via fastboot), then reboot right into recovery, then flash rom... and see if it all went ok?
You have the stock Bell RUU, so if anything goes wrong, you can fall back on that.
Right now I'm on the Pure Velocity rom... loving it.
Omg..ok tried the method u posted with kozmik "stockish"..but got looped at boot... But the rom I was installing had an option to install an unsecured at&t stock boot image and that, of all things, did the trick. What u said made me think to try it.

So... after you got that going, were you then able to flash a rom with a custom kernel (all in one shot?)
Yes. After flashing the kozmik "stockish" kernel, then the custom rom, booting and getting as far as "android is upgrading" before boot looping I figured why not flash the entire thing again this time with the proper kernel and it went perfectly. I was using cwm5.5.0.4 for the record..which I'm told is still the best. My friend was happy, and I was just glad it worked this time..I was so confused why the Bell version wouldn't take the software..!
As always, I found the answer right here on XDA. Thanks again!

I like when things work !!!
Happy romming
I admit it! I cheated on you CM! There - it's out! Did it for weeks. Flashed and flashed all sorts of Sense custom ROMs and thought 'I'll never go back to CM!'. But, as always, I return to the master - will you forgive me?
However i need to know if you can offer this cos i can't quite tell from the current crop of CM related ROMs over whether this is available or not:
- HTC logo to access menu - I think this is in some of the custom CM ROMs maybe?? I just can't do with that horrible three dot menu thing - erkkkkk! - can this be removed in the current CM ROMs??
-Is there a downloadable custom kernel??
And CM - please forgive me - I shall never cheat again no matter what new dressed up Senseual comes along and flirts with me and shows a bit of leg. And you do know - I always come back ...
I did the same thing. I was on stock ROMs for a week. I couldn't take it any longer why even root its just like stock. Ran cm for 2 days but still missed AOKP then saw it when official and I was all over it.
I've been on AOKP now for 24hrs and I'm never going back to stock ROMs.
This is by far the best ROM I've ran on a phone

Ah yep cool - will download. Does it have HTC logo for menu?? That's the one thing i got used to a lot in the custom Sense kernels.
Yep you can wake and sleep the phone with it to.

Love my HTC One, think more from the tinkering perspective than it actually being a brill functional smartphone.
I have rooted, gone S-Off, latest FW, gotten rid of the red developer text, running Mike's brilliant ARHD 12.0 Rom
Now I am really want to something similar to the above because I miss the tinkering, was even thinking of taking it back to stock again.
So.....what do you guys do after you have done all of the above, basically what is the next level? try different kernel's?
Do what you feel nessasary ive done the same ARHD 12.1 s-off supercid dont no about latest firmware but im using elementalx kernal you should giv that a try next its works brilliant with ARHD :thumbup:
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
try some kernel, or start to develop your own stuff or just wait for some new releases and enjoy your ONE..
