Hello,
After the OTA update, my Vivid doesn't want to turn on at all. When I connect it to USB I get QHSUSB_DLOAD and nothing happens.
Any ideas ? Thank you !
Your phone is done. There is no way to fix the problem beside getting a new phone.

I wouldn't say that. Since the chipset could be written, it is not completely dead. Sensation users have already found a fix for this, but it is a different chipset.
We don't have the files needed to recover. Either you need to get it replaced under warranty or insurance.

Which OTA update? As far as I know AT&T and Telstra are the only two carriers to have released their ICS update OTA. If you're actually on Voda in Romania I don't know what would have possessed you to try installing one of those two OTAs.
..
The phone is from AT&T. It didn't have any sim card in it when I got the update.

yeah man theres no way sorry. at least for now.
to be honest, ur best bet is to call htc service and warranty and see if you can ship it to them

i've sent them many phones for repairs under warranty, and all but 1 didn't get fixed for free
Does it vibrate if your try to do the bootloader combo?
No. It doesn't react at any keypress.

Serious Help Needed
Hello everyone. Sorry to even waste your time, but I am in need of help with my HTC Vivid. I am on an unrooted, locked bootloader, and I have been trying to upgrade to the newest ICS OTA update that I missed with the dialer code.
I have downloaded the PH39IMG.zip, and it updated my HBoot to 1.85.0024. This is where I am stuck. The phone will only show HTC on startup, and then goes black. Again I am on an unrooted HTC Vivid. Any help would be hugly appreciated. Please help out a simpleton.
Thanks for your time.
Unlock the bootloader in fastboot.
Flash recovery in fastboot
Flash boot in fastboot
Flash Rom of your choice

Did you run the PH39IMG file twice? it needs to run the file twice to complete updating the HBOOT. In any case, and this goes for all who are not very familiar with Vivid flashing, USE THE RUU!
In your current state, try to boot into bootloader (you probably already know the process, but it is power + vol down from power off state) Once you have booted into bootloader, you can proceed and upgrade to stock ICS. If you decided to run custom roms after, it is easy and much much less likely to brick your phone.
Hallelujah
Thanks so much guys. Those were helpful tips, and I have ICS running now. Thanks again. Have a good one.
So i have a rooted unlocked htc vivid no custom roms installed just stock att rom how can i get out of this boot loop?

Also stuck on White HTC Screen
**Fixed** I used the method I found in this thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639542
Thanks to everyone the helps on this forum, it's an awesome help for people like me!**
Today I attempted to root my HTC Velocity, I'm with Telstra and my phone was running an original Telstra version of Ice Cream Sandwich.
Now when I try to start my phone it gets stuck at the white HTC screen. I am able to get into HBoot (I also wasn't able to disable the NAND security) and Recovery. Unfortunatley I didn't make any sort of backup in the recovery program.
I know there are plenty of warnings and its my stupid noob mistake for messing around with my phone when I didn't know what I was doing but at the moment I'd really appreciate if someone is able to help me.

I hope this help.. .I had the same issue. .sometimes if I hold the power button for a while the cellphone power on normally, but a couple days ago It stuck at the HTC screen. .I opened and released that if I pushed the front camera connector it runs correctly. ..After that I had to use a small welder. .if u need more details just let me know. .
so i took a 2nd attempt to flash another rom using a different recovery as recommended and i messed something up real bad and i have no clue what i did wrong nor have i ever had this happen. i changed from twrp to reg old cwm recovery and now my vivid boots up and turns off, boots back up and stays on the white htc screen. i tried flashing different kernals and now i cant even get into cwm. as it boots into recovery, it blinks as i can see one line of text and barely any of the logo its so quick.
so how the hell do i fix this? ill unroot my phone and factory reset it back to non rooted status.
anyone know how can avoid this?
oh and im s on.
i believe htc has software that resets your phone. anyone care to share a direct link? i had it before and i cant find it. i want to unroot my phone anyway cause battery life sucks, even setcpu does nothing and i just a BRAND NEW OEM htc battery and still drains like counting down seconds.
thanks
Good morning XDA participants.
I have a very big problem and I think that I converted my phone is just a paperweight.
After a lot of tries of change s-on to s-off, I was not able to do it. For some reason, I think that was a little tired and boring, I did something and now my phone doesn't load OS. Just turn on and stay on the HTC screen logo, I can enter to recovery but after try factory reset the problem continues.
Could be possible recover the phone? Or I have to forget that Will work again...it's just have 3 weeks

I am having facing the same issue. I need to manually reset my phone. I have the problem that the phone does not ring when in the pocket mode. I tried hard reset, wipe cache and also tried factory reset. The HTC chat person told that your phone is made in US and hence they wont repair it here in UK. Instead they sent me the link to US's HTC website for more information.
Here is the link where they download the Operating System: htc dot come slash us slash support slash rom-downloads dot html
PLEASE let me know if you succeed in getting the appropriate ROM for your phone.
Good Luck :good:
By the way my phone is not locked to any network.
