So i have a rooted htc vivid and today my battery died today and now my phone will not boot up at all. I can plug in the charger and the charge light comes on for a few seconds and then goes off.. It did this once last night and came back on after pulling the battery. Died today and cant get it back on...help me out please someone..
We followed Slapshot30's Superguide by doing the following:
HTC Dev Unlock - confirmed
Followed step 2 but got an error trying to update recovery
Used the Supertool Method and confirmed root with Titanium Backup
Tried Flashing a couple different versions of CWM to no avail.
Now we are at the current situation, unable to even boot into hboot by pulling battery and using power/vol down method.
At a standstill now
Edit: Oh and I helped him root this phone. I've rooted both my OG Evo and my E3D.
Edit #2 - Got it to boot into hboot and now the phone is booting up normally. Anyone know why it would do that? Also, does anyone know where I can find a download for CWM that I can flash through the bootloader? When we try to go to the recovery now it just goes the the screen with the red exclamation.
Are you able to flash the PH39IMG from the superguide? It's really easy, just put that file on the internal or external memory and boot into hboot and the phone will automatically update to the newest recovery.
If that doesn't work you cab flash the recovery using the other guide in the superguide, the one involving flashimagegui app.

When he puts the image on the sd card it doesn't update when booting into hboot...it goes through the steps but says no image.. I've done this a million times on my evo 3d but this phone is about to drive me crazy! We tried the other method but the app says his phone isn't compatible.

How about going to the thread for the new recovery (thecubed is the dev that made it). There is another method posted there, just a little more confusing. It involves a line or two of code in the command prompt.

why not send it back to stock first using the instructions in the superguide, and start from scratch?
Is that a possibility?

yeah I guess that can be a bit of a pain... Sometimes when I have an error and can't seem to figure it out I like to re-start at least a portion of what Im working on with a clean slate and make sure I did everything correctly, cleanly, etc.. but that's the programmer in me coming back out after years of unintentional suppression

Just put the file on your desktop. Go to a file explorer and go to your desktop folder. Hold shift and right click, select open a command window here. Then just type in the line of code it says.

Is there any rooting method that doesn't do the factory reset?
I am asking cause factory reset messed up the secure element of my last phone.
Thanks for the walk through. Took 2 or 3 tries, but I got it rooted.

No a factory reset must be done. That it is why it's better to root your phone right after you get it in the mail.

You will get notified when you have an OTA update available but when you try to update your phone it will not work. So...no.
Just to be clear this only adds root to stock rom right and doesn't delete it? Is there a way to make a complete backup before rooting as that deletes all data?

Yes, this will root your stock ROM. And no, there isn't anyway as far as I know. Root is needed to make a complete backup.

That's interesting.... So basically the root of N4 WILL PREVENT many future upgrade?
I rooted my Nexus 7 and use an app called Voodoo OTA RootKeeper from Google Play to protect the root. When OTA update comes, I updates my N7, lose root, use the app, root back. Done this for 4.2 and 4.2.1.

Just looking to see if anyone else got this issue.
Tried live usb, live cd, and hdd install of ubuntu 32 bit 12.04.
Tried different roms and made sure fastboot was off, debugging check on and no lock code.
It will reboot to bootloader but the ADB part fails.
Any ideas?

I had the same problem and this worked for me, might not for you. My problem is caused by easy tether client installed on my laptop so when I plug in my phone I have to do this
1. Turn off development settings
2. Turn it back on
3. Check the use debugging box
4. Run adb from command prompt

My initial problem with device and moonshine was resolved by flashing stock rooted Rom, then everything worked fine. Completed and restored from backup. Think the issue with phone being seen and flashing was noted on the site somewhere that stock kernel was recommended or required.

I used the newest live cd 13 I think, the more stable and without all media crop version had bad wife drivers for me. I downloaded file, copied over only adb and fastboot to folder, though they would not see device, also don't think needed, then continued. Made sure debugging was turned on, also updated to latest. 35 supersu (don't think this had anything to do with it) only other difference would be computer hardware. It pissed me off for a while until I loaded vipers stock deodexed.
Good luck :sly:

I was getting the same ADP error. I talked to support on IRC, they said viper 1.1.0 is not supported for moonshine. Suggested doing RUU to go back to stock. In which case you would have to nandroid your rom, backup contents to computer. Relock phone, RUU, unlock phone again, moonshine, flash recovery, restore nandroid. I might wait till next release of viper rom to s-off.

This happened to me recently as long as you can get into recovery your should still be fine. With TWRP you can use Adb sideload to push a rom back onto the phone.

Holding down the power button long enough like 30 seconds should power off the phone. Maybe try to hold the Vol down button too like your entering the recovery. that might trick it to power off or reboot.

You adb push the files to your phone.
Just copy and paste into the cmd window.
I don't think the temproot works for the Sprint One, I have not seen anyone saying it worked, but a few saying it did not work they had to htc dev unlock to get it to work.
htc dev
why don't you just copy your internal storage to pc then htc dev. then copy back to phone?
