Ok I tried using this All-in-one software to flash a kernel and it sent it over and wrote it but its stuck on the HTC logo, and yes I can boot into HBOOT and recovery, is there anyway I can restore straight back to everything factory?
Sounds like the wrong kernel for the Rom was flashed.
What rom/kernel were you trying to flash ?
I was trying to flash the holiradar Final rom, but it said I needed the newest kernel so, I didnt flash the rom yet but I went on the AIO program and flashed the holicakes 2.6.35.14 and when it wouldnt boot up after that...
So what do you suggest I do?
So you are going to need to flash the kernel that goes with the holicakes 2.6.35.14 rom.
Should be on the same site.
You can user CMD to fastboot flash boot boot.img and then the rom will boot.
From what I can tell on the rom page there is a kernel download section.
---------------------------------
Looks like he is instructing you to flash the kernel a different way than I have listed above, but both ways will work.

DO NOT TRY, FACTORY RESET WILL DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AND MIGHT ACTUALLY MAKE THINGS WORSE.
With that out of the way, don't use the AIO software, use fastboot.exe and flash a boot.img to fix the issue.

No need to worry, you haven't had enough experience to know that it is normal. It is normal for the phone to not boot into the rom when the kernel doesn't match. since you have successfully flashed the kernel, you now need to boot into recovery (which I hope you have it installed at this point, if you have not, read how to do it and flash recovery) once in recovery, proceed to flash the HoliRaider rom and you'll be good to go.

Hi All,
I have a similar problem flashing the Kernal with the vivid toolkit (V 2.1) on my Vivid. I think there should be a big warning for that box. I tried flashing the Holicakes Kernal, and flashed it twice as it tells you to, and ended up with the white HTC screen. Then tried flashing back to the stock rom, more than twice now with no luck. In desperation I tried installing the RUU update 3.26.502.56_US but I now get error 150, which indicates a rom mismatch, and yet it is the update for the phone direct from htc.
What should I try next to get past the white screen?
Thanks

Did you install a recovery?
Also, it was not a good idea to try and install all different types of things once you thought it was messed up. Anytime you think you may have messed up, stop right then, read about the issue, and if you can't find the solution, ask a question. I think you can get out of this but some people aren't that fortunate.

Thanks for the advice I will press on and do some more reading,
I can still get to CWM recovery and have tried restoring the backup image I made, with the same result.
During the kernal flashing process:-
- is the HTC dev lock supposed to be on or off? It is off and unlocked at the moment,
- is double flashing the kernal what is meant by the instruction 'if this is the first time you flash a kernal, make sure to reflash it', or as is suggested in esloan's post on this thread your supposed to flash a matching rom instead?
Thanks
You did the right thing by flashing the kernel twice. That is what those directions said. After you flash the kernel twice the next step would have been to flash a rom. I believe it is better to use the fast boot commands for doing this entire process. It sounds like you are still on the holicakes kernel.
What recovery do you have? 5.5.4 or WCX Recovery? You will have better results with WCX Recovery. Also watch this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEWa_lUd2bY&feature=youtu.be
That is by randog. He did a great video and he shows you how to install everything without a program. Do you have the holiradier rom on your phone?
I was on the CWM recovery.
Thanks for the link to Randog's video, I now have a working phone again.
The major difficulties I had was finding wildchild's webpage with the links shown on the video, mainly because searching for wildchild illuminati took me to a forum with no links to any thing vivid, until you register.
I was also a little worried that I wasn't getting ICS in the ATT_ generic rom, but I needn't have. The key seemed to be locking the phone again and running wildchild's PH39IMG.zip. After that the security warning on the Hboot screen disappeared.
I almost messed the rom flashing part. Randog's vivid does this really quickly, my phone was a good 3 minutes behind and the progress bar was stuck around the 10% way after his phone had finished.
Like Randog says in the video follow the steps and you wont brick and you'll have a working phone.
Thanks megatronisabeast
Glad you got it. Sorry, forgot to give out the link.

I didn't know about the super guide until it was too late. Rather, I did not understand I had seen the super guide when I saw it. It was from December, called a Holliday guide, so I didn't read it. There were so many guides, it confused me pretty throughly. Sheesh.
I have the htc white screen, reboots every three minutes or so.

I understand a lot of these issues have been dealt with in this thread. I'm just really apprehensive.
I hope I posted this in the right place.
Thanks in advance,

Microbot, you have done pretty much what I did. If you follow megatronis a Brady's advice you will have a working phone. In fact I'm using it right now. Use the generic att zip an you will have ICS less the ATT bloatware.
Okay mircobot, I am home and can help you. Here is what you should do:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEWa_lUd2bY&feature=youtu.be
Watch that video. Shows you what you will need to do to get everything working again.
The next thing, you need to download all of the files you will need for getting your phone working again. I would recommend going here:
http://www.wcxxperia-nce.com/index.php
You will have to register to see the vivid forums.
Next decide if you want to be able to tether (generic build) or if you want stock based rom (ATT vivid ics).
Download the zip file. Follow the instructions in the video and should get you up and running in no time. That would be the easiest way in my opinion.
If you can't get it figured out or need more help just post here and we will try to assist.
Microbot2--vivid
Hey guys, thanks for the prompt reply's and your general bad-assness.
I just woke and will Start on the instructions.
Megatronisabeast, really appreciate it. Newbroman, thank you.
I already feel considerably less worried about this already. I'll let you know how it works out.
microbot2_no PH39img.zip
Note: I updated to ICS from att before I unlocked the bootloader, which is still locked as now the phone can't be seen by the program.
Megatronisabeast, thanks for the link to the video. I am a little closer to understanding now. Unfortunately, I don't have direct access to the internal storage, like the guy in the video did. and I couldn't discern the website URL and he never tells you directly, except for "goto wildchilds site" which i couldn't locate.
I now know that I have access to wildchildes recovery. Unfortunately, I can only see the internal storage if I use WC recovery, ("windows wants to format it") then goto USB-MS. Otherwise the computers don't see it when its plugged up. It says "device not found when I try to do something in AIO_toolkit 1.2 Don't know if that helps.
I did find the wcxrecovery.img
It appears that you have to have access to internal storage to load an image to it. PH39img.zip, which I don't have. I can't seem to find the wildchild ICS image, either. when I start my phone, it looks for the ph39img.zip, doesn't see it, goes to the white screen.
I don't understand how to get the image back,Rather, how to access the internal storage again. is PH39img is the same thing as the ROM? Do I have to load PH39IMG.zip and the wilchild_vivid_ICS.ROM, which, again, I can't seem to find.
This feels like a comedy of errors. I wish I would have studied longer. I usually do. THEN, I find "newbie_proof" all in one toolkit.
I Just wanted it rooted. All I had to do was click "root" instead of "kernel". Man, what was I thinking?
If only I had taken the Red Pill.
Thanks again,
Look at my post above, the link for wild Childs site is there. You have to register to see the vivid forums. That is also where you will download the files needed to set up the ROM, etc. You won't need the Ph39.img since you already have ics. That is for the bootloader. You can actually send a file to your phone in the recovery. since you already have recovery you would need to download the Android sdk tools, so you will have fastboot. You use fastboot to send the boot image to your phone. Then you would go to recovery and send the .zip file to your phone and flash in recovery. Sorry these directions aren't better, I will try to assist more when I get home, Swyping right now.

Microbot,
The wildchild files you need are in the first link Megatronisabeast cites
wcxxperia-nce.com/index.php (I'm a newbie and cant post the full web address). You have to sign up to the forum to access the files. The vivid forum will appear once you have registered.
The PH391IMG.zip is not your normal PH39img.zip you have to use the one contained in the WCX_generic_ATT.zip on the WCX vivid forum page. You also need to relock the phone. You are probably better off using the fastboot and the windows command prompt for this.
Can you boot into recovery at all?
Do you have another phone? you could use that to copy the PH39img.zip over. Thats what I did.
Mcrobot2---
Hi guys,*
Here is what I think I know:
HBOOT is a bootloader, *like a BIOS.
PH39img.zip is the boot file. Like PH39IMG.zip which appears to be a modified version for WC.
Kernel *is the memory and CPU manager.
ROM is an operating system package, or file placed onto the erasable/programmable part of the phones memory. NAND, I think.
S-OFF/ON *is a security check.
.Apk: compressed java file.
.Jar: *java application file.
.odex *files: helper files with most relevant information to compile and run the concerned application as fast as possible, a JIT Kind of thing.

I was able to relock bootloader, Yea!
Thanks megatronisabeast and newbroman.
--history--I updated to ICS from AT&T.
I thought I could skip reading for another three weeks because of newbie-proof AIO 2.1. * wrong!
I wanted to root my phone. *I had unlocked the bootloader with htcdev.*
Found hasoons all in one vivid 1.2. Used WC's recovery. I then flashed with hollicakes kernel, twice. Wsod.

Megatronisabeast:*
You use fastboot to send the boot image to your phone. Then you would go to recovery and send the .zip file to your phone and flash in recovery.
-I'm not sure the exact boot img,*
- I think the zip file would be the rom?
Getting closer.
Thanks again guys. I'm feeling a little thick lately. Like freshman year of college! Weed out classes.
To start off, I'll write down a history of my phone's problem. It had me scratching my head for over 1 week already and I still can't resolve it. I've been non-stop searching all over the net for solutions, and unfortunately it's still problematic.
Before the problems started, this is the state of my phone:
Stock HTC Rom 4.1.2 ver. 1.29.1540.3, rooted, custom recovery TWRP.
My phone initially hanged after receiving a text message. So I thought it just crashed and just needs a simple reboot. But unfortunately, after a reboot, it was just stuck at the "HTC quietly brilliant" splashscreen. But it could go into bootloader. So I went into recovery to restore from a backup point. But the restoring process failed, and worse, it wiped my current OS off.
So I went over the net to search for a copy of the stock HTC rom. then I found the specific RUU, from bugsylawson's, for my phone. And, at last I thought, the phone was back to normal. But unfortunately again, when I tried to re-download all my apps from google play store, after installing a few apps, my phone crashed again. the crash would reboot and enter into the OS but after a few seconds, it would hang again and reboot until it doesn't get into the OS anymore.
I went further research and studying about android terminologies to better understand the state and problem of my phone, and I came up with the idea to try to install a famous and stable custom Rom. I chose Android Revolution HD 13.3, which runs a custom 4.2.2 jelly bean. After successfully flashing the rom, I was so happy that everything went back to normalcy. So again I tried to reinstall the apps from play store. and everything worked fine. then after about approx. 18hrs, the problems started to show up again. My phone would hang while I was using it. And it would restart. sometimes it would just force close an app that i was using (in this case, I was using the "Internet" app and camera app). And after rebooting by itself a couple more times, it would get stuck in the "HTC quietly brilliant" splashscreen. again.
I tried several times to re-flash the custom Rom, and it would flash successfully everytime. And just to make sure i did the correct steps before flashing a new rom, I would like to enumerate what I did:
-wiped data, system, cache and dalvik cache partitions
-flashed custom rom via TWRP.
After everything I've tried. I'm starting to wonder if my phone has factory defects. I'm pointing to three parts of the hardware: processor, flash drive or cache. I'm wondering if the cache is a hardware or software based, and if it is a hardware, could it possibly be damaged physically and can't be repaired? How do I checkdisk the flash drive to make sure that i don't have bad sectors in it? How could i also try a diagnostic test of the processor to make sure that it is not faulty and does not overheat?
I'm new to android debugging. I would gladly take any logical solutions to help solve my problem. I'm pinning my hope on this forum before I finally contact HTC to claim a warranty or anything.

Hi Matt,
First of all, thanks for the very quick reply.
Uhn matt, I don't mean to annoy you with questions. But are there any other solutions without S-offing my device? And if possible and if it's not a hassle for you, may I ask what your possible might be? (Could you please enumerate it?)
I would greatly appreciate it if we could discuss the procedures first before actually trying to fix the issue.
You'll need to S-Off to flash the 4.3 firmware, and you want to be S-Off now as you can't use the exploit on the newer hboots. I will S-Off, flash 4.2.2 firmware, flash 4.3 firmware, then flash 4.3 Sense stock rom, then you can s-on if you want

I see. How is the new Hboot different from the old hboot? And if anything goes wrong, could I still go back to the old hboot?
To what firmware version is it going to be upgraded to? Will it have the same radio?
Just to clarify, we're CHANGING firmware version, not UPGRADING right? Is it because we're changing to different region's firmware so that i could just download an OTA update of newer stock roms? Correct me if I'm wrong.
Good afternoon all,
I have an HTC One PN072. I've flashed the phone from Sprint to Cricket. They were very adamant about me not "resetting" the phone as it will remove the information, or flash they've added.
I've done several searches and can't seem to find a thread indicating 1) if this is possible and 2) a guide to doing so. The phone already is rooted and has TWRP on it as well.
If anyone knows of a thread I would love a link to a guide.

I have a Sprint One fully flashed to Verizon and I flash custom ROMs all the time without any problems. I have never lost any settings and I don't even have to re-activate my phone. I would think that as long as you dont use Bootloader to flash a complete RUU image you should be fine. Goin s-off if your not already might cause issues here as well. (If someone knows for sure please correct me) I would say just download a ROM and install it with TWRP. I have updated firmware as well with no issues as well, however the firmware I upgraded with did not contain a radio update, which I am hesitant to do since I imagine that will effect my flash. I did my flash myself but it seems like a headache re-doing it.

Not that I have ever experienced. That was true on my EVO LTE and has so far been true on my One. I have the newest TWRP and in the past two days I have flashed EclipticOne, Elegencia and Insert Coin. On my old Droids Clockwork recoveries reset worked fine as well. DONT do a factory reset from inside the ROM. I have not tried it on my One, but on my EVO and my Droid 1/2/3 phones that would undo parts of a flash and I would have to reactivate. If I were you I would just work within my current firmware and flash what was available.
It is possible for you to flash your phone back to Cricket for free but its requires a lot of setup and can be a real pain in the ass. Getting 3G on Verizon was particularly painful and I have many screen shots and pages of notes on the actual procedure. When I upgraded from my EVO to the One I managed to get it right the first time by following my notes but it was still a serious hassle.

i was thinking about getting my one flashed to verizon but how does it work?? say i get my phone flashed.. is it verizon pre paid?? does that come with unlimited data?? text & talk?? how much would my bill be a month? sorry for all the questions
I apologize, so just to be as clear as possible, if you follow all of the wipes that roms usually ask you to perform in TWRP then you should be fine? However, do not perform a factory reset in the rom itself once loaded?
Doing a wipe through TWRP's wipe feature is fine as long as you dont go into 'Advanced' and mess with settings. Do not do the factory reset within the ROM once the ROM is loaded. If, while installing a ROM, the installer wants to do a wipe, that is fine as well.
[MANDATORY INTRODUCTORY SENTENCE DEPLOYED] Okay so as the title states I have an issue with my Sprint HTC One (m7) [MANDATORY INTRODUCTORY SENTENCE Complete].
The issue in question is lack of GPSability after flashing (you guessed it) Cyanogenmod 11 and currently CM12. I have tried multiple ROMs since then and all of them either don't fix the issue or wont install or work at all. So now I'm back to CM12 and everything works terrifically except for GPS...which I need...alot.
Now of all the research I've done on finding a fix for this infuriating problem has led me to believe that the only real way to fix this is to flash to a stock ROM, get a GPS fix/lock/signal/whathaveyou and then wipe and flash back over to your ROM of choice HOWEVER....heh heh I kinda un-acquired my backup, it somehow got erased during some blunder during the initial rooting process and I was dumb enough to not have saved a backup on my pc...oops.
Now I am aware that there are other ways of restoring my device to stock by other means such as RUU processes but I am not able to perform this process as my internet connection on my pc is dependent on my phone itself via tethering.
I also know that some have had luck by flashing new kernels however I have not been able to find one that worked for me.
So I guess what I'm asking is does anyone know of any other way I could restore my phone to stock using methods that don't require my pc to be connected to the internet, know of a place where I can find a flashable stock ROM or simply just fix my GPS issue outright?
I appreciate any assistance anyone can offer. Thank you in advance.

Hi all,
I am I a position where I can get unlimited tethering, of which I am grateful for. I purchased the phone from Vodaphone and then moved to another provider. Because its a third party phone, tethering is not detected.
So, I accidentally updated the software version of the 510 to 1.51.161.12 and then to 1.51.161.14 and my tethering application took a MASSIVE hit.
Tethered to an Xbox one, I now get huge packet loss, very low MTU, huge latency and slow speeds, which was not present before the update. I have contacted the HTC devs to let them know about the issue. I have already troubleshooted all my devices, factory reset, wiped the cache etc...
I wish to roll back the version. I realise in order to do this I will need to root my phone and flash a ROM. The only Kernel I could find was on the htcdev website and was version 1.51.161.10 from vodaphone. Is this a stock ROM?
Can anyone assist me in safely flashing my phone, I have never done this before and I would like to keep my unlimited tethering and phone in working condition. I did Google it but I couldn't find any decent results.
What is a safe guide to follow? I am completely inexperienced at this and would really appreciate the help.
Is dip_spits guide appropriate for a a UK carrier, does it matter? I almost used this guide
https://support.digitalendpoint.com/hc/en-us/articles/204812787-How-to-root-the-HTC-Desire-510 -until I realised that I need philz recovery for 64bit. Will using the dip_spit guide lock my carrier again?
What ROM can I use after rooting. Why is it so hard to find information on HTC 510 rooting and ROMs
I am looking for a safe way of doing this and have posted multiple times on XDA, but nobody can help me. The reason I am doing this is to restore functionality to my tethering, which has broken for no apparent reason.
Thanks

What ROM can I use after rooting. Why is it so hard to find information on HTC 510 rooting and ROMs
I am looking for a safe way of doing this and have posted multiple times on XDA, but nobody can help me. The reason I am doing this is to restore functionality to my tethering, which has broken for no apparent reason.
Thanks

Okey.....a lot of questions.
Firstly, if you are 64 bit there is no need to use philiz touch recovery. There is TWRP recovery for our device. You can get it here:http://twrp.me Don't search HTCDev for 64bit ROM's. The only thing there are kernel source files. The carrier lock is not in any way connected with the operating system (at least thats what I think). And it's highly doubtful that the lock will reapear. The reason that you can't find a lot of guieds about our device it's mainly because the majority of devs here on XDA are from the USA. In the USA they sell the 32 bit version of the phone and the software is very different from the 64 bit.
Now lets talk about ROM's.
If you want pure stock rom you can search for it here mega:///#F!3Zo10Zya!-NbM_2RWWecFlc5mH9bLbA
If you want a custom rom you can get this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-510/htc-desire-510-64-bit-eu--international-version/cyanogenmod-12-1-msm8916-64bit-t3281744
And if you'd like a debloated version of the stock you can get this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-510/htc-desire-510-64-bit-eu--international-version/android-4-4-3-stock-os-debloated-64bit-t3361689

Ok so here is what happened when I rooted.
I unlocked the boot loader and made a recovery using philz touch. The PROBLEM is that I didn't have an SD card installed so what happened is philz touch partioned part of my phones memory. So I go to root and it is successful.
Now I got to recovery to install back the system because I was not happy with the way some of the apps were running and I want to install the stock vodpahone RUU on zubaggys page. I go ahead and recover but now it has taken more memory. I am now running my old ROM and kernel with less than 1 gig of free memory!!
All I want to do now is reinstall the stock vodaphone
Another question. When I was rooted, I downloaded barnacle tether and messed with the transmit power in the settings. I disabled and uninstalled. I also downloaded port forwarder ultimate and messed with the setting but uninstalled.
Will this affect my ROM installation, will it be fresh.
Thanks.

If philiz touch partitioned the phone then it's a miracle that it's still working. At this point I will suggest you flash TWRP because it has a more clean interface and there is no way you'd mess up something. Afterwards use it to format every single partition you can find with it. Beware that with this you will delete all data including the OS. I am not 100% percent that this will work because I haven't seen a situation like yours.

Jeez, I guess i have got myself in a bit of a sticky situation. I followed dips rooting procedure and it explicitly stated not to use twrp and use Philz touch instead for 64 bit phones. It also didn't state to use an Sd card.
We are talking in two threads here, so I suggest, to help other users with a stock revert, that we continue in Zubaggys thread. You are being a great help and I really appreciate you giving me your time.
