█ PIMP MY ROM █ v1.5.1 {Any Device // Any Rom}[AROMA][WIP​
found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1908269
and me being curious and a coward have a few questions:
my phone : bootloader unlocked, stock rom ics rru /stock kernel, rooted, cwx recovery and S-ON.
1) Can it be flashed on the htc vivid safely?
2) Can it be flashed on a S-ON device?
3) Can it be unflashed ?. just incase..
4) any one else here using it ?
5) Do u even recommend it?
looking forward to ur input plls.. thanks in advance.

I'll try it out. Should work tho its confirmed working on a few HTC already. The ROMS on here probably already have some of the tweaks

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

now if only i knew what tweaks to enable to improve the vivid...
its not like a htc specific too .. its abroad 'all android' tool.. so i'm sure some wont help infact may even be negative to my vivid...

I would just worry a bit about the PmR settings clashing with cooked-in settings in the ROM. I'm downloading it now and will play with it.

After ICS update cant connect to mobile network

Hello
im planing to buy Incredible S that is currently broken.
The guy said to me that after ICS update he scan for available networks, and phone sees networks but phone don't wont to connect to network.
Phone is SIM unlocked and he tried with two different operators.
I can get it really cheap but im afraid is there possibility that motherboard is broken.
Im good with flashing and i hope that it is only problem with radio or corrupted update.
Did someone had similar problem after ICS update?
Please gimme some advice

That is not the stock ICS update. If that's an Incredible S, its running a custom ROM based on a VilleC2/One S ruu or dump (from the build number). That might be the issue, tell him to flash a stock based ROM like Android Revolution HD or Blackout ICS and see if it works
Also, could you get a screenshot of the info under "more" please? That could help

Thanks for replay, i will try to get screenshot of Software information/More

OK, here is the photo of Software Information/ More

He told me that he did OTA update but i don't believe to him.
Also phone was Rooted and S-OFF
Is this situation fixable? I think that radio is problem, i did have HTC Wildfire so i know how to flash, use RUU and other stuff.
Or maybe this happen because he was rooted and S-OFF and accepted update
If this is a fixable situation then i could buy the phone

I dont think ota work if you are s-off so i think he has a custom rom

Definitely a custom Chinese dodgy Rom and kernel
You'd have to flash a known working ROM like I mentioned above to see if it's just a kernel or Rom issue
Keep in mind that you can't run an RUU with s off

But you think that it is possible to fix it?

And one more picture with bootloader version
https://www.dropbox.com/s/g7qp83mlg6pwygc/IMG_20130225_225137.jpg

got new info from seller, he admit that he is using custom ROM.
he told me that after ICS update he tried to flash ROMs and then it all started with connection problems.
He is S-OFF, rooted, got black rose boot loader.
i will buy this phone and try to make S-ON so i can run RUU and hope for the best.
i must read a little bit but is it possible to get completely to STOCK after black rose and S-OFF?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

From what I hv understood I think you can flash the latest radio and choose a good jb ROM and it should work. The devs are really good here and thr are some really good ROMs to choose from. Good luck...

i hope too it will all go well, maybe is better to try with radio first, all the time im suspicious that radio is the problem.
only thing that is weird is that WiFi is working excellent and cant connect to cell service.

What's new in 4.06.1540.3 update?

I have just received an OTA update with software number 4.06.1540.3 -size: 180MB.

What's new in this update?

Do you have the OTA update.zip URL? I want to download to extract the stock recovery image. Thanks in advance!

The OTA zip file was uploaded by @Fredouye
https://www.dropbox.com/s/hh3rszox1....06.1540.2_release_343940db83ijxdzt34ryod.zip
I have uploaded the stock recovery
https://www.dropbox.com/s/qt2uxxfxp32o69n/stock.recovery.4.06.1540.3.img

I believe the main fix is related to full disk encryption on KitKat (4.4.x).
I just received this message from HTC Support:
The issue where you device is not able to encrypt has been resolved by an over the air update released just a couple of days ago. The initial KitKat release was at 4.06.1540.2 and has been updated to 4.06.1540.3. In order to successfully download and install the update you must have a locked bootloader.

Specifically, I (and as I've been told, others, even people on other phones) have had problems booting the phone past the point of disk decryption on KitKat. This started immediately after I accepted the OTA update, and was unable to proceed without factory resetting the phone. This was pretty traumatic, since I was unrooted, and the Google passive backups didn't work at all (no settings/apps/etc restored).
I'm still on 4.06.1540.2, but with TWRP recovery, rooted, nightly Titanium backups syncing to Dropbox, and again encrypted. I still have problems with decryption sometimes, but after restarting 1-5 times I'm able to fully boot eventually. So this update should help with that annoyance.
I have another problem introduced with KitKat: I can't actually hear or transmit sound during GSM calls. I asked for release notes to see if this too was fixed:
In regards to the change log in the update that was pushed, I wouldn't be able to provide this to you as this information is currently not available for public release at this time.

I was asking myself too what changes had this update, but so far everything looks the same. I thought the issue with whatsapp losing vibrate capabilities every time I put my phone in silent mode was going to be fixed, but the issue is still there.

Yup not seeing the stock recovery. They are all custom recovery.

Anyone know if the T-Mobile reception with LTE are fixed with this update for the Developers Edition. No matter where I go I only get 1 bar of LTE on this phone. I had bought the unlocked model here in the US of the HTC ONE Developers Edition. It was supposed to be for T-Mobile. When I put my SIM card into a T-Mobile HTC ONE at a T-Mobile shop it gets full bars but on mine it only gets 1 bar with poor reception.
Also does this update get rid of the App Ops Starter option on this device where one has the option to disable permissions for privacy?

@joni2012: You did not issue the correct command. Try this:
Code:
fastboot flash zip firmware.ZIP
Make sure the commands you put into terminal are correct. In this case, terminal even helped you by telling "Hey bro, what filetype is this firmware thingy? You said I shall flash a zip - what where is the filetype ending?". Press thanks if it helped.

try this one
Use htc_fastboot and then link your file

Yeah I found that out through trial and error lol. To install the ROM though, do you need S-OFF or can it stay S-ON? If it needs S-OFF, can you point me to a forum about getting S-OFF?

Oh, and can someone please post a different download link of the ROM? The Chinese server is unbearably slow, so can someone put it up on an American server?

Got it downloaded and installed, its amazing. Only problem is that I got a bootloop when I first loaded it, but that was fixed by clearing the cache, dalvik cache, and something else. Thanks!

For those of you that are going to use this ROM, if you install with S-ON, and then later decide that you want to S-OFF (like me), then you will need to reflash the ROM after you achieve S-OFF, otherwise the ROM freezes at the "Sense 5" startup screen and then begins a bootloop up to that point.

I apologize if the answer's obvious, but how exactly do you achieve S-Off?

I used the rumrunner s-off tool, but I got stuck in the bootloop,so I had to stop it, but I still got s-off.

I'm in the same boat as you were in; mine's stuck in a bootloop; I don't know if I got s-off though. How did you manage to get yours to stop bootlooping?

[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*

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.
