This is a beta release of a program I tossed together to make it easier to perform some common tasks on the HTC Vivid. It will:
Walk you through the Bootloader Unlock process
Capture your Device Token for submission to HTCDev
Apply the Unlock_code.bin file to your device
Root your device
I expect a few bugs, however I have tested it on my laptop with positive results. I was able to Unlock the bootloader and lock it again. Everything is bundled so you don't need the Android SDK. The goal was to create something similar to the multi-tool, but for OS X. This is also different from the other Mac tool as it isn't using Apple Script but instead Objective-C. The user should never see a terminal window if all goes well.
Report any bugs if you want, and I'll get them fixed asap. Remember this is beta and I'm not responsible for your device, etc etc etc.

No problem. I like little projects to try new stuff. I only tested it on OS X 10.7 but I compiled it for 10.6 so it should work with Snow Leopard. Unsure about 10.5 compatibility.

Are you able to flash boot.img and recovery stuff with this tool. By the way thanks for this. Not many tools made for us mac users.

I'm adding CWM to the next version that will likely be out today. It will also have options to flash user-specified boot.img, system.img, and recovery.img files.

I got a message saying "You cant open the Application VividTools because it is not supported on this type of Mac" I am running a Macbook with MacOSX 10.6.8.

Thanks for the info, I'll take a look right away. If its an original MacBook it could be running 32-bit OS X, which may explain as the binary may have compiled for 64-bit.

Its a Macbook 1.1 that I got in 2007... So I'd say that probably the issue.

Thanks for this. I managed to unlock the BL with ease. I have not been able to root though. I see a green icon I would describe as "refresh download" and then a red exclamation "!". I end up having to pull the battery, then just boot normally. Tried it a few times; no luck.
Setup: OSX 10.7.3 / HTC Dev checkboxes enabled ( debug etc. ). Am I missing something? I usually am.
Thanks again.

I decided to test this while upgrading to ICS.
So I used it to relock my bootloader.
It said it was relocked succesfully but then said something about USB error. Probably because after relocking the phone restarts, so i think this was random.
After flashing the RUU, I tried to use this to unlock the bootloader again.
But it wasn't recognising my device. So I gave up and did everything manually whne finally I realised that the debugging mode wasn't on. Duuuurr. Turned it back on and the phone was recognised again.
However, rooting didn't work at all. It only took me to the Recovery screen. Nothing happened.
I loved the app, though. Finally someone's giving the proper attention for us Mac users. Hate having to borrow my mum's laptop in order to do the whole thing.
Keep up with the good work, you're on the right track

Failed to Root
It did not recognize my Vivid - no device detected.

Make sure you have USB Debugging switched on.
Have been testing out and seems to work well, the rooting section rebooted me to the recovery like someone else mentioned earlier.
I will keep an eye on this thread for updates.
Cheers

I unlocked my Bootloader with no problem but I can't get it to Root the Vivid. I do have USB Debuging checked. The phone get's to the red triangle and goes nowhere from there.

Please make this for osc tiger PPC version. I have no other way to unlock bootloader. I need help

Will unlocking the Bootloader using this method erase all my data as warned on the HTC site ?

Yup

Always remember to make a current Nandroid backup before you do it, then you can try almost anything!

Yea I don't think it matters about s-off. Only matters when trying to flash kernels or splash screens

I have a Vivid that has been "abandoned" since I got my GS4. I did like that phone, but didn't do much after rooting (still stock ROM, I believe). I still have my unlock code bin file and would like to get this device up and running again after I get a new battery. Is your utility something that I could use to update my device?

So I've got the toolkit installed in my PC and my device connected via USB...now what? What files would a person need to update a device from Android 2.3.4 to the most updated version? Again...I am on stock rooted AT&T ROM.

Is there any way to S-OFF the phone without doing anything hardware related?
thanks

[Q] battery condition

Hello all
I am using the latest insert coin rom(tried all others too) with the latest elemental x kernel(tried different kernels too) the battery life is always bad. The screenshot shows the regular scenario. If I use screen a lot I get 8-10% per hour. I am using the cpu at 1.5ghz downclocked. Everything is hibernated and appops is preventing anything to keep the phone awake. The last option for me is to format the SD, I can't think of anything else. Or my battery is bad.
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks. I read around about the ruu stuff but what exactly am I supposed to do, I'm not sure. Is it stripping down a rom and install it? Also do you think formatting the internal SD can do any good?

the RUU must match your phone
fastboot getvar all will give you the information you need to find the correct RUU

You have to use RUU not OTA

[Q] S Off and Updating ROM on GSM Unlocked One M8

Hey guys, how's it going?
Well, I recently bought an HTC One M8. It is the Sprint Variant I believe. So it was an unlocked version with ViperOne 1.7.0 installed. I checked for updates and found there was an update for 1.8.0, to which I instantly updated. I was aware that Viper 2.4.0 is available for the device too, hence my question is if it's okay to update to flash/update full ROMs to this unlocked M8? I am aware that I would lose the unlock on non Sense based ROMs though. So, is there anything I should consider/remember before flashing the full ROM to the device?
Another problem I am facing is with achieving S Off. I am aware about what all of this is as I have always been involved with such things but always with factory unlocked variants. Anyway, I tried the firewater method, for at least 10 times but everytime it says that it can't S Off my device. (Screenshot Attached)

Is there something I can do about this? Anyone who had faced this and resolved it?
Other than these two little issues, my final question is that IF in case anything goes wrong, would a Nandroid Backup restore my phone to the current state INCLUDING the SIM Unlock?
In simpler terms, can anyone tell me what all can and can not affect the SIM unlock on my device? Kernels, ROMs, Mods, etc?
I did a lot of search before posting this thread (two nights) and found answers to many other questions and doubts but not to these three. Sorry if these are all actually noob questions. Thank you!

Anyone?

Only way to achieve soff is sunshine in conditions like you. It works like a charm. if you would have problem with sim unlock, Then, flash Bad Boyz rom and follow the instruction at second post. Just past same path 4 days ago

I would definitely do all of this but now I have another problem. I attempted to change runtime on Venom 1.8.0 but now it wouldn't reboot. Doesn't go past "HTC One" screen on boot. Can't try any other ROM because my broadband is having troubles. *sad*
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA App.

Their is a small zip to change runtime back to dalvik it's your best choice or reflash the Rom next time do a nandroid before doing that. Your phone will not boot because you have a tweak or theme/mod that art doesn't like.. good luck remember the zip is in the read me section of viperrom.

I had a couple of NANDROID backups but they didn't correct the issue either. In the end, I had to wipe system and flash the ROM again. Works fine since then.
