I got an HTC Vivid today, After spending an awful amount of time looking this thing up and o.s. and yadda yadda to make sure there are updates to get it up on ICS. I need something to run 4.0. and this is driving me NUTS! I get the phone booted up and check for an update. Said error, not unusual for where I live SO.. I turned to HTC. Downloaded the HTC Sync, will not even register my phone. Phone can not locate it either. I talked to HTC, finally got fed up with them as I guess they did not understand I just needed my phone updated. After HTC, I called ATT tech support. After wasting 45 mins of my time they tell me to go to a store. So, I go to the store. Mind you our car blew a rotor yesterday and this ATT is out of town. We get there, they tell me they cant help me because the update needs to be done over wifi and this certain ATT does not have wifi. Great! then i proceed to show them the error message. They tell me it's some kind of software malfunction. Well, now I'm back home beyond frustrated and asking for some help here seeing as this wasnt as easy as I had hoped it would be.
I know the general idea of all this but I have never done anything with a phone yet so if someone can help here, BABY STEPS LOL! Talk to me like im 10 I dont care Just want to get this done so I can go about doing the things I need to, whole reason I bought the phone. Thank you in advanced!
NEVERMIND
I finally got it!

This is what I did, it forced my Vivid to download the update
Easy peasy:
Open the dialer and dial: *#*#682#*#* and hit send. Might have to do it a few times, took me 2 times but it worked for me an my phone is running 4.0.3 now HTC sense version: 3.6
Hope that can help someone else down the road if need be!
I was personally ready to kill my phone though as I only had a few hours lol
I wasn't attached to it yet. So make sure if you try it, you are ready for the possibility it wont work.

Hi all, I appreciate any help with this.
I currently have a cooked ROM and got Media Net to work. I wanted to download a game that the MediaMall on AT&T offers but after purchasing and trying to download I keep getting this error message:
"The root certificate used for Chocolate Shop(The game) cannot be found. -56 Please contact the application provider for more information.
Could anyone tell me how I can get this to work if possible or how and where to download a certificate and install it. This game is a java game.
Thanks for your time in reading this.
P.S. I have tried searching and just haven't seen any fix for it...

My apologies for posting in the wrong sub forum @ first. >.<
Hello folks. I've been dealing with the exact same problem as the above poster, and I only have about 2 hours remaining before the download links expire. I've searched high and low for a resolution to this problem, but I've only managed to turn up this single forum post with no replies.
If someone does know the solution to this issue I would be so very much appreciative of some help. If its of any use, I'm currently running the latest version of EnergyRom.
Thanks for your time guys.

Find and install SDKCerts.cab
Appreciate the effort man, but I installed SDKcerts.cab to no effect. This whole ordeal has gotten me so frustrated its not even funny.
You seemed pretty certain though. Is there some other step I missed? Or should I just call it a loss. I'm outside of my area of knowledge at this point.

Strange, SDKCerts will usually fix a certification issue.
Try using advanced config and in the last section of Misc tweaks, disable Security Warnings.
well, its a moot point by now, but just in case you were curious, I went to advanced config and security warnings were already disabled. bit of a conundrum, eh? I wish there were some way for me to figure this out, cause I definitely wouldn't wish this problem on anyone. I'm so used to getting things to work, and I got beat.

I would suggest flashing back to stock and see if it works, then flash your custom ROM and test then.
I got help here to root it so I could get a proggy on there that would allow me to get fonts in larger sizes and yes, I'm very happy. HOWEVER, my HOT SPOT feature is not working and I"m guessing that pimpin' it is what did it and NO, I'm too stupid to fix it and the guy that helped me rooting it had no idea what to do. I'm close to Charlotte, NC and I was wondering if there's anyone around here that could help me? Ie, rooting it AND getting my hot spot stuff to work which is one of the reasons I bought this one and paid a small fortune for it.
Thanks and yes, I would be glad to pay a lil' sumptin' for it, take you out to lunch or help YOU out in any way.

you may be a noob, but seriously you didn't really expect anyone to have sympathy did you?, we all started somewhere.. hint: start by reading the stickies
God forbid someone would have sympathy but NO, the crying icon was there to spruce the thread up.
I have gotten great help in forums and I've run into a lot of a$$holes if that answers your question?
As for reading the stickies, I have a reading comprehension problem so that doesn't work for me. Of course, you may want to say that this is bull$hit
and I'm just trying to make it easy on my self and yes, I am but no, the reading thing is not bull and reading instructions are useless.
Last time, I had someone talk me through it in a chat and it worked but took around TWO hours. This would not have happened if it had been
done through here or e mail. You'd be talking days or weeks just getting the thing rooted.
However, I"m not sure how helpful your reply is? Plenty of that around the web. Lots of replies in help forums but LITTLE help. Mostly people that
think their $hit don't stink and that they can say anything just 'cause they're anonymous. Sounds like my neighbor. She used to talk all kinds of
$hit about EVERYONE and tell me how she stood up to someone and told them this or that to their face but she never did. Just told ME how damn
cool she was but I never saw any proof of it.
Yeah, it's easy to have an opinion online and make comments about any damn thing...
guiri_too,
Post in your local listings (Craigslist, for example). I'm sure there's probably someone in your area that can help you out.
An online forum isn't really the best setting for what you need. You need someone that knows what they're doing (no offense) to look at your phone and do what needs to be done. Otherwise... read through the threads, find rooting/modding instructions, get a custom recovery image on, make a backup, and flash a new ROM.
If you didn't know what you were getting yourself into, you shouldn't have done it. I don't mean that in a disrespectful way, either.
If I ONLY stuck to buying things I completely understood, I would NOT have a damn thing today and no worries, I wasn't insulted.
As for craigslist, haven't found much there but morons but I can give it a try.
However, I KNOW there's plenty of knowledge here, the trick is to find it. LIke I said, I got great help rooting it but now I see there's some problem which I ASSUME is from the rooting.
Note, NOTHING against the guy that helped me out, he did a great job and was very patient so I have no complaints, it's just that now that I found this out, I'd like to get it fixed.
Georg
well man, what you can do is give us some details too.. are you on a custom rom, or stock w/only root, also do you have stock recovery or kosh(sp) or Amon Ra's
If you know how to check you can simply go to about phone and check in there if you are on custom, usually in kernal it will have the devs name.. to find you bout recovery you get the app quickboot(in app market) and hit recovery if you have list of options and i mean a list then you have a custom recovery, if you only have 3 options then its stock..
If you got custom rom& recovery, then you can flash a different rom, this could have broken wifi or something along the way.. so what you do is find a custom rom you like( i say go with enomther) that one is close to stock as possible but with all perks taht are really needed
im new to the n1 communtiy as i barely got my n1 rooted, but i had my g1 for over a year or so and had bout 3 of those, and not much has change except the way to root it
Okie dokie Spanky, I'll see if I can figure it out and post back. I was hopin' someone local that's got more brains than I could pimp it but that's what I get for livin' in the boonies I guess
I have a NEW direct from Dell, Streak 7. This is my first tablet. This item was a gift from a family member out of state so getting a return is really not an option.
I have set the tablet up with T-Mobile, and everything seemed to go ok. Got gingerbreak and rooted tab. Waiting on Dell to send me unlock code so that I can get the firmware upgraded to latest Honeycomb. However....
This tablet will have forcecloses 10% of the time, on any given program, will shut down for no reason...sometimes reboot, sometimes not. Will freeze after restart. Will freeze and only hard reset will get it back. Will shut off and not be able to turn back on unless you hard reset button and then try to turn it on right.
I have tried to research the issue, but I really can't afford to pay someone for answers. Just trying to see what the deal may be. The item was new, I had to break the seal to get it out of the box and all original items were sealed.
THanks to anyone who can help......or at least direct me on the right path to fixing it......: )
You should've rooted using the Superuser7.zip posted by TheManii
I'm sorry, in my research, I only saw the gingerbreak boasted about. Plus the issue was ongoing before I rooted the tablet
Sorry again...I am still kinda new.....thanks for the reply however
HMMM, well I would suggest you decide what version you want to run (Froyo or Honeycomb) and then I would search the forum for how to restore the 7 back to factory state. It's hard to believe you were having FCs out of the box, sounds more like you are leaving out some details, but no matter, I would suggest restoring back to stock with a clean install... believe me, there are PLENTY of threads. Might I suggest you restore back to stock Froyo, play with that a while and do lots of reading before trying to root or change ROMs. If you don't follow my suggestions you will just be back here with a device you can't use and getting flamed for getting in above your head before you were ready
I have been waiting to answer this post.....Sir or whoever you are....
I do not appreciate you assuming I was not totally honest about the situation I am in with my product. I have no reason to not give all the information so that I can have the best chance of finding a solution to my problem.
Prior to my Dell tablet I have rooted my HD2 and also my MyTouch, so I do kinda know my way around, however when the issues happened right out of the box, it was a total shock. So I figured .... I would go to my friends at XDA....However, I don't feel too good about these posts you have left....or again the assumptions you have made....

Well you don't leave me much to assume sir, anyone that has a brand new product and immediately has issues with it would logically return it immediately, BUT in my experience when someone is in your situation it means they did something to their device and can't get it back to factory conditions to be able to get warranty work done on it....
Again,
First....I am a Mam.....not a SIR. Second. It was a gift.....I have managed to get help for my issues and they have been solved.....I have no control over someone whom assumes. You know what they say about that......Good Day.
get off your high horse
Not on a high horse.....I do not have to put up with rudeness. It is uncouth and uncalled for. I have every right to defend myself. I am sorry if you don't like that.......sorry
I just found the Samsung Note GT-N7000 lying on a wall by my job. what perfect timing seeing as my other phone broke. unfortunately, I'm having a few issues.
1. Phone will not perform a hard reset. I've done the volume up+ home+ power keys and the phone will not respond. I've tried doing it through the settings and can't seem to figure out the password.
2. WLAN fails to enable
3. I'm on T-Mobile and the phone will not recognize my data connection. I receieve calls and texts just fine. But, I cannot connect to the internet.
Is it possible the phone is region locked? would I have to go to T-Mobile and get them to unlock it? any help is greatly appreciated asap. I rely on my phone for work and really need it to perform.
I hate to be that person. But, bump
Could you not ask the original owner who put his phone down for a second, whether its simlocked...? As I am sure he/she will love to answer that for you..
I'm guessing by now, chances are the phone has prolly been reported stolen and de-activated by now... And will end up just being a Tablet very soon...

You act as if I made no attempt at finding the owner of the device. But, I don't think I need to explain myself to you.
if the phone was deactivated, would I still be able to receive calls and texts? because I can.
Who would lose a note and not want it back.however long it takes I think u should find a way to return it.return it to the network provider they will know the owner as I'm sure he or she is registered

It is true, you dont have to explain yourself to me... However, I am sure many other people see this post in the same way. As you've not extactly made your post appear as though you've tried all you can to return it to the rightful owner. No mention of this... Only that you found it on a wall and it comes in handy as your other phone has died? And barely 3.5 hrs after posting the initial request, that your bumping a thread for answers, which shows your desperate for that quick answer...
Some times it can take a couple of days before people see or will reply to a post, not hours...
Not wishing to be mean or anything, but ya gotta see it from other peoples point of view too... Not saying you didnt try to return it... But nothing in your posts express that, only your eagerness to Restore the phone into a working state that you can use...
Don't return it, there stupid fault for losing it... Keep it and enjoy it did.

Seriously? Really?
If so, then let's move further - if someone is stupid enough to keep the phone accessible in public, he just deserves to have it stolen.
The difference between pavement and somebody's pocket is negligible, isn't it?
PS. To the OP - usually, with a found phone, it's enough to dial one of the most recent calls to find who is the owner.
Well said p107r0... My thoughts exactly...
Its not hard to just dial the first person in the phonebook, or recent calls...
My dads mate lost his phone, ok so it wasnt a Smartphone or anything to be proud of finding... just ya old basic call/text type... But he uses it for work, all his contacts and would be lost without it...
Yet one day I was in a pub, enjoying a drink and I get a random call from his phone... The person who found it in the street dialed my number as it was alphabetically first and told me he found it and where he could return it too. I was so pleased to hear honesty from him, and told my dad who passed it onto his mate. This person even waited around for when was a good time for my dads mate to see him, he was so pleased to get it back he rewarded him....
So before anything says its their own dumb fault, they deserve it... Just think if it was your own phone... Would you be happy if you lost access to all your data?? Knowing someone has got something of YOURS?? If your that kind of person, well lets hope they take something from you or your family.. and see how it feels????

I'm having problems with GPS and I started getting error messages about 4g lte network and some kind of sd card read error. I had to shut the phone off a few times today. I'm not sure what is going on.
Do I just need to return it?
MOD EDIT:
YOU MEAN THIS.
I love reading threads like this because I always feel warm inside when I get to laugh at other peoples stupidity. When you posted this what went through your mind? Did you really think with the information you've provided anyone would be able to seriously help you? How about you first go and research the exact problems you're getting, spend a good while doing that, then watch this video (not to make fun of you but because genuinely it's a pretty good guide on how you should act) and then and only then if you're problem is a really a unique snowflake in the storm of idiocy, post everything you know about your problem and every detail no matter how small a detail you think would be relevant.
Also, "HTC One on sprint has gone batty" might sound cool and hip to a group of 13 year old kids but it made me cringe, hard.
Nice
If you had no clue you could have just moved on.
