I was trying to unlock and root my Vivid and seem to be stuck in a bootloop.
I used the All in one kit v 1.2 (Thanks Hansoon) unlocked my bootloader, and installed CWM.
The problem occurred when I tried to install the HoliCake kernel, after that step I couldn't boot into the base OS.
At the moment I can access hboot, fastboot and CWM.
When I try to boot, all that happens is the HTC logo is visible indefinitely.
Trying to install the stack kernel gives me the following output, and i'm not really sure where to go from here.
Code:
C:\Users\Rohit507\Desktop\Vivid_All-In-One_Kit_v1.2\data>adb push Kernels/Module
sStock/system /system
error: device not found
C:\Users\Rohit507\Desktop\Vivid_All-In-One_Kit_v1.2\data>adb reboot bootloader

Thank you all, since this device is also my main phone, it would be appreciated if I could get it working again before the day is out, but even if that's not possible i'm gratefull for all your help.
I use the same tool. It is amazing.
Were I you, I'd download the stock ROM from the "Revert your phone to stock from ICS" thread in the dev section and start over just to be on the safe side.

Okay, i'm back to stock, now to figure out how to actually mod this thing when adb doesn't seem to want to connect.
I have searched the forums, and I can not find the answer to my specific situation. Please forgive me if it is there somewhere. The story…….
- last working ROM was VIVO ICS official, RUU installed. (RUU_VIVO_ICS_35_S_HTC_WWE_4.10.405.1_Radio_20.74.30.0833U_3831.18.00.11_M_release_266013_signed.exe). HBOOT was changed to 2.02 S-ON, bootloader locked. I unlocked via HTCdev. Before this I had IceColdSandwich 8.1.1, ENG Hboot S-OFF. I had originally used the GB downgrade ROM to S-OFF, and restored IceCold backup after this.
- I wanted to be S-OFF again, and so tried installing this zip using CWM Recovery, following the advice of tpbklake:
vivo_signed_WWE_4.10.405.1_ICS_SENSE36_5.zip Version 1.1
(from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756500&page=1)
- now boot loop. I tried reinstalling other ROMs which I have successfully installed in the past (GB downgrade, stock ICS), and also restore various backups, but all result in boot loop (stuck on white HTC screen). Each time I would use CWM Recovery to clear dalvik, cache etc.
- I have now followed 'fix' instructions in that same thread, ie. :
1. Download the file lib.zip from here: http://bit.ly/PwK4BH
2. Unzip the lib.img and place it on your PC where you have fastboot.exe installed.
3. Boot into FASTBOOT USB mode and then enter the following command:
fastboot flash lib lib.img
4. Download the file format_lib_update.zip from here: http://bit.ly/RIpEUL
5. Copy it to your SD card.
6. Boot into recovery and then install format_lib_update.zip
7. While in recovery format the SYSTEM partition.
8. Then reinstall vivo_signed_WWE_4.10.405.1_ICS_SENSE36_5.zip
But at step 3 I get the following:
C:\adb>fastboot flash lib lib.img

OK, so what is the state of your HBOOT? Are you still HBOOT 2.02.0002 UNLOCKED?
When you are using the an unlocked HTC HBOOT and you flash a custom ROM in CWM, you then manually have to extract the boot.img file from that ROM's zip file and flash it manually in FASTBOOT USB mode. If you don't do that, you will get a boot loop.
What you need to do if you can still get into CWM and the bootloader is still UNLOCKED is reflash that ROM again and then flash the boot.img file in FASTBOOT mode and you should be ok.

I should have mentioned, I already tried that. However, I will try it one more time. I tried so many things - if I try it again in isolation, I will be 100% sure I am telling you the truth.
Thanks for the reply.

Well then you can always relock the bootloader and then run the 4.10.405.1 RUU like you did originally. Then you can unlock the bootloader since you already have the unlock_code.bin file.

Once you get back to that point, unlock the bootloader, install ClockworkMod and then flash su-3.0.7-efghi.zip to root the official ROM. Then you should be able to rerun the downgrade process to get back to S-OFF.

Thanks very much. The stock ICS RUU has now installed successfully. I guess when I originally tried to reinstall it, I had left out the 'RELOCK' step, which is why it failed.
So now I am back to the start (stock ICS + HBOOT 2.02 S-ON), and want to get S-OFF and install your ROM zip. ,What I originally intended to do to get S-OFF was:
1) Unlock the bootloader, flash CWM Recovery, flash SU
2) Run downgrade GB RUU
3) S-off with Revolutionary
4) Install Blackrose HBOOT
5) Install your vivo_signed_WWE_4.10.405.1_ICS_SENSE36_5.zip
But step 2) failed with an unknown error. (I then tried to install your zip, and the rest is the sad history.....).
So what caused step 2 to fail? Did I need to relock the bootloader first?
Many thanks for your help, tpbklake

What is the status of your bootloader? Is it locked, unlocked or relocked? If it is locked you may have to answer n to is the phone rooted to give temp root. If not on page 76 of this post there is the same issue.

And fyi it will not change the h boot version, only the main ver which is reported at the end of the script.

One more thing, I would try flashing another ROM, i came from Niks Sense 4a rom, and the script worked with no issues.
Remember you will need to manually flash the boot.img of the rom as you are S-ON.

Open a command window and then type in the command:
adb shell
If you get a # prompt then your ROM is rooted correctly and the script should run. If it doesn't then the ROM isn't properly rooted and the script will fail.
Hi, about 6 months ago bought a rogers htc raider, upon receipt procedures to perform the unlock bootloader and s-off procedure, it will change back to a stock rom and I gave it to my brother, I recently comes for saying that when you turn the phone just stays on the logo screen, entering volume down menu and power, try to do a factory reset and get stuck, also download a stock rom and extracted the rom.zip file so renowned as ph39img.zip and try to run and do the updating also remains stalled, also try to lock the bootloader with fastboot oem lock and also stuck.

1. This should not be in the development section......
2. Boot to bootloader.
3. Does it say Locked, Relocked, or Unlocked?
4. Does it say S-On or S-Off?
5. Do you have v1.83 or 1.85 bootloader?
6. Select Recovery, what happens?
1. This should not be in the development section......
2. Boot to bootloader.
yes boot with volumen - and power
3. Does it say Locked, Relocked, or Unlocked?
Unlocked, i try locked again but nothing the phone still stuck, running the command fastboot oem lock.
4. Does it say S-On or S-Off?
s-off along a few months with the method juonot... with wire.
5. Do you have v1.83 or 1.85 bootloader?
show the version 1.85
6.- recovery
don't work when selected the option recovery the phone show the screen logo along 1 second and back to screen boot.
Next step would be fast boot flashing a custom recovery. I recommend wcx or twrp. Once youve done that, youll be set to properly wipe and flash the ROM of your choice

The only things I can think of that would cause this "writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: image update error)" would be:
1. You got a bad download
2. Bootloader is not properly unlocked
3. Your recovery partition got borked somehow
Things I would try next:
1. Redownload the recovery image and try again
2. fastboot oem lock to lock the bootloader, then go through the unlock process again
3. fastboot oem lock, run your carrier's RUU, reunlock bootloader, fastboot flash recovery wcxrecovery.img, fastboot flash boot boot.img (from ROM), boot to recovery, wipe data, system, dalvik, and cache, and flash ROM

Hey guys,
This morning I tried flashing Viper's ROM to my HTC One with ClockworkMod Recovery but it failed. I rebooted my phone but it just took me to the Bootloader screen, so I rebooted again but the the same thing happened. I tried to go into recovery but it didn't let me so I flashed TWRP Recovery to do a Nandroid backup. When I tried to do a Nandroid backup it didn't do anything. I tried a couple of times but to no avail. I've been trying to flash roms through fastboot but it doesn't let me, it tells me that "Target reported max download size of xxxxxxxxxxxx bytes error: cannot load "rom": No error. I've been stuck ever since.

You need to do a sideload thru recovery. Hookup a usb cable and have the Rom you wish to install on your computer.

Try to run the RUU again. If it is successful, then you are back to stock. There is a HTC One Mini forum which will have more expertise than this forum.

The RUU did install properly. It's an AT&T RUU though and there aren't any others which is a bit of an issue.
