Hello,
I am totally new in this forum. I got my HTC Vivid one month ago. Today, I wanted to root it. However, it was off and never back, no LED when plugging via USB.
I unlocked BootLoader according to HTC's instruction.
Update HBoot with PH39IMG.zip
Create recovery Nandroid with VIVID_CWM_ROOT_VER2.zip
During the process flashing a Kernel in this forum, I type:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
It rebooted and I stuck in a boot loop (HTC logo just appeared again and again)
I did a Return to stock (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416836). But I only succeeded in first step (fastboot oem lock).
I stuck in bootloader loop. The phone just response in bootloader forever.
I did recovery from Nandroid. It performed restore but not work.
Neither did with the factory reset.
I tried with another PH39IMG.zip (~35 MBs), it worked. I got my phone back.
After that, I wanted to recover since I can't connect to wifi.
Start recovery in bootloader, the phone was just dead. The PC recognized a connection (HSUSB). I download the driver (Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008
) but no effect.
I think my phone is bricked.
I will appreciate if anyone can help.

did u update hboot with an unlocked bootloader...thats no good
are u still can access Hboot?
sometimes, u should flash a kernel with ROM to work on it. if you still running Stock ROM, don;t flash MOD kernel like Holiraider. it will couse boot loop.
if u still able to access HBOTT, no need to worry.
@meatwad0222: I unlocked bootloader and updated hboot. It succeeded in rooting the phone. I got problem when I tried to flash a kernel.
@prahasta: I can't do anything. The phone never turned on again, even if I plugged the charger, the LED was not on. Pressing power button with volume down did not work at all. In general, I can't access to hboot.
Hm... It will be difficult.. hope it wasn't couse by hardware.

I had a similar problem..I unlocked bootloader.and flashed a new ROM. I was then stuck in boot loop..it would go all the way to the screen where it says "upgrading android" and would then reboot...the solution I found was to extract the boot image and flash it...then it rebooted normally with new ROM. Hope this helps...

if Bootloop, at least u still can access HBoot, but he can't do that.
try to connect it to PC with Full Battery. then check if your PC still detect it. if PC can detect it, try to flash Official RUU.
My laptop does not recognized it. It said that it can't find a driver for that. I searched in xda-forum and I found the driver. Right now, in the device manager of my laptop, it says Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. I tried to flash an office RUU but it stopped at <waiting for device>
Thank for your replies.
good to hear your laptop still detect the phone.
u need to pick right RUU for your device.
used Hanson tools, choose to unlock your bootloader again (hope this work). after unlock bootloader, and u can acces HBOOT, choose fastboot mode then instal CMW/WCXs recovery. once done, try to access CWM. if u can acces CWM recovery, there is no worries anymore, u just need to instal correct ROM and Kernel.
My laptop only detects the phone as a Qualcomm chip, not as a phone. When running Hasooon tool, it stops at <waiting for device>.
Sounds like it's in dload mode.
If your phone is in dload mode then I think that is a soft brick...it is fixable, from what I read on another thread, but is more difficult...but not impossible..I had to download HTC drivers for my laptop...the following 2 sites contain the files.

I talked to HTC customer service for repairing. After everything was set up, I thought that I lost my warranty since I rooted my phone (in HBoot, it said RE-LOCK"). I will give a try with the "wire trick" in the thread "Juopunutbear S-OFF". Hopefully after wire those holes, I can access to the debug mode and "wake up" my phone. Otherwise, I have to spend $5 more to buy those warranty stickers on eBay and have the phone fixed.
I thought that it would be a jtag, but it was not. I did not succeed. I have to send it to HTC for repair.
I think I know the reason caused my problem. I tried to recover why I was on S-ON. Thus, the firmware will "fight" each other and the hardware will not know what it should do. The result is a software-bricked phone.
I'm trying to unlock my bootloader so I can root the device and install CM10.
I've had similar issues with my old nexus one that was drivers but I have tried 7 different drivers and have been searching for over 5 hours. I'm going mad, Please someone tell me how to make this phone work.
State your OS and is it 32bit or 64bit?
You should just need to download and install HTC Sync that has the required drivers.
You don't use adb when in fastboot mode, you use fastboot!

Fastboot just sits at waiting for device.
Ok I've been able to get the bootloader unlocked. Now I cant get it into Charge only mode(the setting is missing?!?) Is it possible to Root the device without that?

"error 170 (device not connected)" is your key issue -- you need to assure your drivers are correctly working. Go to the link below and look at "Q26: Where can I find the latest HTC Drivers?"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277892
If you're on Windows 8.x, look for "Q20: How can I install HTC drivers on Win8 for adb/fastboot?"
See if that gets you further. The key is connectivity (USB) and then you *must* have adb/fastboot working so you can progress.

I have answered you here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2712961
use fastboot to get your token then submit it to htcdev to obtain your bootloader unlock code.
There is a video tutorial here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuIq0gmYpFA

then you'll probably have drivers issue. Plug your phone to your computer in fastboot usb mode then go in your windows device manager. Your phone should be listed as ''My HTC''. If its listed under ''ONE'' then your drivers aren't properly installed.
Hi I think i messed up my phone and I defiantly seem to be needing some serious help
I was trying to s-off my phone with this guide.
I have the same exact phone as the one he is using in the guide. I download the zip file.
Then proceeded to do
a. Lock the device - [fastboot oem lock]
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
After I oem locked my phone "fastboot usb" changed to "fastboot" and my pc doesnt recognize the phone anymore.
Now when I turn on the phone It says "Tampered" "Security warning" "Relocked".
I can't boot into rom nor connect my phone to pc via fastboot.
I tried with Macintosh, Windows 8 and Ubuntu none of which seem to be working.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
