Hi everyone im new in this site and i was wondering if you could tell me if it was possible for my HTC vivi 4.0.3( ice cream sanwich) to be uploaded to the jelly bean, im asking because one friend told me that it was impossible with my phone and that i was able to get a brick because this model wasn´t able to update,
Officially - no you can't because HTC don't give a damn about this phone anymore.
Unofficially - yes, but it comes at a cost of bugs, knowing how to unlock your bootloader etc.

First, read and know what you are doing ( rooting, unlocking bootloader ) and make sure you know how to flash, nandroid with a cutsom recovery and please refer to the superguide for more info. I would advise this as long as you know what you are doing. It is near impossible to brick an Android permanatnly

I didn't say not advisable, however what camo_flage stated is very correct. Know what your doing before you attempt.

well, thanks for answer what i want to do is to update from an android ice cram sandwish to a jelly bean version, the reason is because all the roms i have installed in the ice cream sandwich android have problems with either stock bluetooth or stock wi fi or something else, so i i want to install jelly bean so i can put roms for that version.

Weird cuz I have no issues with either on stock ics.
Anyways, maybe after you read a lot and watch a few videos on YouTube on flashing roms etc, you can try that borked rom. I personally haven't flashed any rom so I can't say what its like. I do know a lot of custom roms have a low in call volume, which is the main reason why I'm still on stock ics.
I've unlocked my bootloader, rooted my phone, removed a ton and I mean a ton of useless to me apps and currently have a ton frozen in testing. My phone flys!
Good luck!

There is a metric ton of reading you must do...

You need to know how to undo the bootloops you are going to get...

Try searching before posting. This is nothing new, just AT$T trying to reach customers who don't hang out in forums like this. This is the same update that was released on 2/24. If you are currently on a custome ROM, you would have to flash back to stock using Odin. beware, if you update to OEM Froyo you will not be able to root or install CWM with the new 3e recovery. I'd suggest you do some reading up on the issues and benefits of stock Froyo before you make up your mind to upgrade.
Thank you for your help, But if I'm not going to be able to root it back then I wont update. Unfortunately I'm not very experienced and I'm afraid of bricking my phone so flashing roms kinda scares me. I'd love to be brave and do all that kind of things. Oh sorry I tried to search but my app kept force closing.

There is a way to root the stock Froyo, but the old methods either don't work or need to be adjusted. I'd wait until I was at a PC so I could do some searches and read up on the issues. Froyo is definitely better than Eclair and a worthwhile upgrade, but still somewhat lacking compared to what the devs here are cooking up.

Ok guys please search before opening a new thread.
So I had an old cyanogen mod flashed on my phone and nothing was going wrong. I think I flashed it in late November 2010, early December 2010. So I was fine with that and then I got bored. So I flashed the Dilli ROM and the market stopped working so I flashed to Serendipity and that's where the real problem started. Every time I would get a call, I would lose service automatically and the call would fail. I just thought it was a problem with the way I flashed it. So I then flashed the Phoenix ROM hoping that would fix the dialer problem but it didn't. I am currently on the newest phoenix ROM and I can download apps from the market, send and receive texts, make calls and even use the internet. The only thing I can't do is receive calls. I know when a call is coming because the phone starts to ring but before it shows me who is calling, it automatically loses service and fails the call. Has anyone else ever had this problem? Is there anything I can do? Any information would really help. Thank you!!

The fact that you flashed multiple roms without knowing how to flash back to stock is idiotic. Flashing back to stock is the one thing you should know how to do because it can save your phone.
Read this ENTIRE guide and follow it step by step or you will continue to run into the problems you are having. These anomalies cant be diagnosed by us because your phone probably has files from numerous roms on it by now. Flashing back to stock and using a master clear allows you to diagnose issues much easier.

Because I'm an idiot
That's most likely the modem. Find out what modem CM7 uses and as long as it's the same base as you're using now (i9000/i897), find the CWM for that modem and flash it.

You call that a slam? Tearing him apart? You must be a liberal. The ROM-specific stickies are here for a reason. All these posts outside the stickies just make sharing that knowledge you speak of harder. Why is it so hard to comprehend that if there's a sticky with a dedicated subject that maybe that's where any posts on that subject should go? XDA is also about rules and they exist for the benefit of all.
Please use a search before opening a new thread or post rom questions in the provided Q&A rom thread.

This should be q&a, report yourself.
There is a leaked version out called ls7 or ls2,both available to download in development section. As they're leaks, you'll need to be rooted, follow drive ketans thread on rooting, easiest way is to install philz kernel via stock recovery.
Don't post questions in general, it's possible they'll just be closed.

Clearly, you came back and edited your post later. I thank you for that - but people, ease up on the assumptions and judgements. I never asked for spoonfeeding from anyone!
Is there a likelihood that this upgrade will be officially supported at some stage?

I think you are new here.
Let me explain it in layman terms.

Yes available as a leak.
The update is not official till at least December.
That is why you couldn't see a new JB update from Software Update (OTA).
- If so, does it only apply to phones that are rooted? How do I go about getting the phone rooted?
Click to expand...

You need not necessarily be rooted to install JB.
You can flash XXLS2, the earliest leak available from Odin 3.04 (The ROM flasher for Sammy phones)
XXLS7 is known to be unsoundly slow. It's probably not optimised yet from Sammy's side.
However the infamous Multi-window feature is available on XXLS7.
If you really want the latest and greatest aka XXLS7 with all the bells and whistles,
you need to be rooted. As for that, do your own research. :victory:

I assume you mean XXLS7 from leak, not XXLS7 cooked by xda devs. Because the last one is actually faster than XXLS2, and battery life better. No match.
@livebyte : Thanks for taking the time out for your comprehensive post. I think I will hold off and wait for the official update. That was what I was referring to when I posted initially. I appreciate that there are alternative roms available - but if the official becomes available sometime this month, then I guess that's the path of least resistance.

did you expect them to say anything less? basically what they are saying is "we believe our consumers are too stupid to modify or otherwise personalize their devices, so as a result we have prevented you from access all software on your phone for your own good"

I'm debating about unlocking my phone and instal a Rom right now or wait and see. I usually root all phones but I was one of those dumbasses that flashed my EVO 3D with the virgin mobile version. Lucky me I didn't have most of the side effects people were complaining about. I just had the VM banners and some times text messages errors, but CM 10.1 make it go away.
Anyone have any cons about unlocking my phone and flash a rom right now or wait until we get S-Off if (ever happens).

you just need to unlock and install either twrp or cwm recovery.
From what I've read this really isn't a big deal. Nexus devices are not S-Off either. All this prevents you from flashing are the radio and bootloader which are not usually modified.

True, although for asop, aokp. and other open source roms a different bootloader maybe required. For the evo 3d the ics bootloader that installed with the firmware from the ota would give bootloops if a asop or aokp rom was flashed.if as a user you would never flash anything other than custom roms for your current version of android then yes an unlocked bootloader is all you need. Another example was the htc flyer. That device shipped with gingerbread when htc released the ota for honeycomb every user was in a hurry to install it, many had flashers remorse and wished to go back to gingerbread. With s-on they were out of luck.
This phone has features we may never see in aosp. I'm holding off on that. Nothing wrong with sense5 though honestly, its way better than any previous versions so far

Incorrect. You need to flash a superuser app and its binaries as well.
this zip is supposed to turn off read/write protection Sprint_One_Root_Disable_System_RW_Protection (1).zip
I was thinking we are a rare bunch of folks that are control freaks that root our phones.
But it amazes me to see things like Titanium Backup, Root Explorer, ROM Manager apps very near the highest volume Android Apps in the Market !!!
These are obviously "Root" user apps.
Maybe it's because we wipe our phones so often we distort the statistics
I love how they say they don't allow s-off because of "warranty" reasons yet at the bottom of the page it says unlocking your device will render the warranty void. #likewhat

This is somewhat false. The reason it was causing boot loops was because of the boot.img not flashing properly. It was required when the hboot got updated that we used a process such as "HTC dumblock" to flash the boot.img. Currently for our Ones we are fine because the hboot will allow proper flashing of the boot.img yet in the past, some future updates have blocked this feature. I for one will always want s-off. It gives me full control
