and the AT&T section included...

Yes you will lose root and you would also need to relock your bootloader as well.

MOST IMPORTANTLY!!!
Make sure that if you have a custom recovery that is is updated & double check that it is. Write the version numbers down to confirm, both before & after.
There was an early recovery that could not (CANNOT) be overwritten without flashing a modified PH39IMG file first, then flashing stock or new modified recovery.
If you update with your device with that original recovery, you may be very sorry.

Ok so I put the ICS that Pirate put up before he got mad and took it down. Doing what I had to do in order to get that on my ohone, does that,mean I'm already set to use this RUU and get the "official" ICS update if I so choose?

No you need to relock the bootloader in order to use the RUU.

Ok that's what I had thought, just all this talk of different recoveries and stuff started to confuse me lol... Thanks for the help

Stock Vivid and Beyond ICS
After reading some of the posts - I have a few questions.
I have a stock AT&T Vivid. I believe I can just install the following directly - correct?
http://dl3.htc.com/application/htc_vivid_att_RUU_3.26.502.56_US.exe
Then after upgrade to ICS -- can some one point me to the correct direction to ROOT and SIM UNLOCK the Vivid after I upgrade to ICS?
Thank you!

Run the ruu...Unsure of which tools exactly are for just rooting youl, have to either call att for a simunlock code or purchase one from online

Thank you
So, just to confirm, I assume that "YES" I can run the update on stock AT&T (no rooting required) and then after I upgrade to ICS any RUU will root -- nothing special to root ICS?
Thank you!

RUU=ROM Update Utility. These are full builds released from HTC that will NOT have root. A lot of custom ROMs are built from an RUU, but rooted during the cooking process.

thanks works great! a little slow on my virtual machine windows but that's not the ruu's fault, it's my lack of memory. one thing it doesn't tell you is to put it into fastboot mode.

do we know if Rogers Raider can work with this ?
anybody with rogers already flashed this, please confirm.

Look 4 posts up I already said it will only work for att

What do you mean by this? That before I run the ruu, I need to update CWM to the newest version?

So now you have the free choice to choose your OS did you want stock OS? Do you want GB or ICS Stock? Or you want CM or MIUI there are so many guides here that tell you what you need to do just say what you want.
Besides wouldnt it be nicer to have a OS that not labeled on a Provider?

I would like ics on it

Well ICS stock rom OR CM?
You should Consider changing the Bootloader to the ICS Bootloader some bugs are resolved in this. and most new ROM´s are build for the new one.
So CM, MIUI or Stock based?

Stock

Actually wouldn't I need fido OS on it if I can reuse my code to unlock it again or would it be unlocked still.

Phone will not boot after using safestrap

I have my atrix HD rooted and safe strap installed and I have been trying out a few different ROMs for it. Earlier today I decided to install golden ROM over my stock slot, so I made a backup of my stock ROM and restored my stock ROM slot with a backup of golden ROM. Now when I turn my phone on it loads the safe strap screen like normal but if I try to go to safe strap or just boot my phone or goes to a black screen and does nothing.
Can someone please help me?

Your not supposed to write over the stock slot.

Try restoring your stock rom back. using safestrap/twrp.
If you are not able to do anything ... then propably you are gone .... ,
you will have to use rsd lite and install the stock firmware.

[Q] I think i Fed up bad

all right i was wondering if there was a way to revert back to 4.1.1 i was trying to get to 4.2.2 and it worked but i forgot the Gapps so i tryed everything to get them to work and no go i tryed to get ClockworkMod Recovery and every tutorial out didnt work i got the bootloader unlocked and everything i thought everything was working great till i forgot the Gapps im running on 4.2.2 VANQUISH_U_BP_ Is there anything i could do or am i screwed ...?

4.1.1
I just want to go back to 4.1.1 if possible and i have my back up from safestrap if that helps

If u made a backup. . Flash it..but first if I was u.I would take a breather. Calm down. .watch some of qbking77 videos on YouTube. He spoon feed it to you. .search your phone on xda and Google.. do your research. .

Flash stock with rsd lite and start over.
Or use fastboot to flash cwm.

Asking Best buy or AT$T to image older rom

I see some mention of this as a solution, although it look some it's only for those that downgraded to NB5.
.I am trying to understand what would happen if AT&T or BB try to image an older ROM on to the 4.4 leak that some of us are RUNNING, including me.
Assuming AT&T / BB agree to try, has anyone had success this way?

I took my Note 3 in to BB yesterday. I'm running the Leaked MLG 4.4.2.
The Samsung dudes were unable to get NB4 to load over the leak.
My BB didn't even have the NC2 (official KK release) in their system yet.
Going to try a different BB tomorrow.

i had the same issue.i restored to mj5 by following the post here at xda then had bb reflash to nb4. no probs updating to kk via ota.

ATT rep told me that if they attempt to restore a 4.3 image over KK it will brick the phone so they won't do it.
Because my phone wouldn't boot when I brought it in they couldn't confirm the OS version. I had to sign a waiver acknowledging my phone might become a brick and releasing them of liability before they would agree to restore my phone.

there is a working method to get the official OTA to update on your phone, Miata just posted a thread about how to do this after restoring to MJ5 and taking the NB4 updated.
he has a file that you flash and after that the OTA update should not fail anymore. Yall should try it out instead of waiting on BB or Att to do something that you can do.
