[Q] Htc Vivid Rooting help >.>

Okay, so heres my problem. I got this phone from a friend that he had rooted and had worked, and he wound up reseting it and such before handing it over too me. Im no noob on the rooting and even on installing custom roms.
The phone does not recongnize on my computer in hboot.
Now ive done my research and i know its not supported in windows 8 for the drivers, and the only other computer i have would be a windows xp (which gave the same results)
Anyways, my friend no longer has the computer he used to root the phone, and im stuck with no wifi and no service(was just going to use it as a game tablet like phone. which i was using with my samsung galaxy s2 skyrocket before that died.)
I do have drivers installed, ive tried multiple ways to try and create the adb stuff so i can do this but it always gets stuck on waiting for devices.
So i guess what im asking is, am i SOL or is there a work around on windows 8 to get this up and working. im willing to try any and every suggestion, even if it means i have to go and get a "copy" of windows 7 or if there is a way to get it to work on win xp that would be even better.

See thats my problem though, i cant even bring up adb to recongnize the phone. I have the unlocked status on the hboot page, but i cant simply make my computer recongnize the phone when its in hboot mode. Ive tried every single forum that search will bring up about fixing the issue, and most have simply put that its not supported by windows 8 (at sometime during the post, not in initial posts) My main problem is, i use the phone without a connection to a cellular tower, only through wifi, but without being able to boot img file of what ever rom i put on, the wifi wont work.
I cant restore to stock via the same problem being, the hboot or fastboot part, will not recognize on my windows 8 computer.

At this point I'd look into Linux...
I don't know if they have it yet... but wubi makes life pretty easy on past windows incarnations...

I have a better solution for you (IMO)
Download ubuntu .iso from the ubuntu website.
burn the .iso to a disk.
set your machine to boot from cd before booting from HDD (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20130425190900AADNjgh)
now, when you boot, it should take you into ubuntu. On the screen that pops up, select english, and then "Try Ubuntu" or whatever the equivalent is.
now, set up adb and fastboot for ubuntu using any method you like ere is a link to a guide: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/08/install-adb-and-fastboot-android-tools.html don't worry, it works on 13.04 or any other new version of Ubuntu.
Your ADB and Fastboot should work in any terminal window now. If you get an error like "insufficient permisions for device" then read on below:
Normally, you would type "adb devices"
instead, now type "sudo adb devices"
the terminal window will prompt you for a admin pass. Use the pass you used when setting up the trial. if you didn't use a pass, just press enter. for all your following adb or fstboot commands, use "sudo adb..." or "sudo fastboot..."
If this helped you, Thank me

Help on htc one (M7)(GSM) revive from hard bricked state

my htc one (M7) (GSM) got hard bricked on its own (i never rooted it or anything), it shows up as QHSUSBDLOAD or something in the device manager in windows 8.1
i found this link to revive my phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2770684
I am a total noob and i know nothing about rooting or flashing roms or anything for that matter (i just think my phone is hard bricked because someone told me if it comes up as QHSUSBDLOAD in the dev manager, it means it is hard bricked). There is no response if i hold the power button, or the power and volume buttons under a bright light or not under a bright light, i tried charging it continuously for 5 days, nothing happened, LED is not flashing. Only when i connect it to windows via a usb cable, it recognised it as an unknown device, when i updated the driver, it showed QHSUSBDLOAD.
This link (same as above): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2770684
worked for many people. i'm a noob so can anyone please elaborate and give me a full detailed process on how to go about it. Again, i never ever rooted my phone.
And its out of the warranty period, and i dont really know what a jtag box is, but i heard it involves opening up your phone, and i really dont wanna do that. But, if theres a method of using jtag via a usb cable and reviving my phone without opening it up, then plz tell me that too.
otherwise, just elaborate on the same link ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2770684)
and explain it to me like u would to a noob.
THANK YOU!!!!
Any help is appreciated.

First line of the guide:
This will fix devices which were bricked due to firmware incompatibility. This can be caused with the way HTC handles the firmware updates in it's m7's OTAs. If you've been flashing from a 3.x firmware to a 5.x firmware via OTA, or manually, you most likely have a device stuck in QHSUSB_DLOAD. This tool is for you

Device entering QHSUSB DLOAD mode by themselves are usually devices with hardware problem and this guide won't fix anything. You'll probably have to replace the motherboard of your phone. You should however give this guide a try just to confirm its indeed an hardware problem. Just follow steps by steps and ask questions when you are stuck.

thanks for the reply.
First of all, i don't know what all this is:
the appropriate package for the device
fastboot
distro utils: md5sum, strings, tail, grep, unzip ( all included in most linux distros)
some basic linux experience
root access on a linux machine
I've never touched Linux EVER. Only thing i know is that it's an operating system.
IF you have the time, can u please tell me:
1) ''which version'' of Linux i should install (is it 64 bit and 32 bit too?)
2) from where should i install it
3) how should i install it
4) what Ubuntu is. is it some form of linux. Can it be used in this case? If yes, then how?
5) what fastboot, distro utils, root access on linux means.
6) can linux be installed side by side on my windows pc along with the windows i already have? then how?
7) what all this means-
Boot the linux box and download the appropriate package for the device.
Remove the sim card from the phone. Do not connect yet
Extract the package in your working directory
Open up a terminal and cd to that directory
Run revive.sh as root and connect the device
Code:
sudo ./revive.sh
( i mean, i know how to remove the sim card, but whats a linux box?, how do you extract the package?, how to open u a terminal, what is a terminal?, how to open up a cd to that directory, which cd? how to "run revive .sh as root", what the code sudo ./revive.sh means and how and where do i use it?)
Thank You.
BTW, is there any way to tell for sure whether my problem is in the hardware or in the software?

[Q] Asus MeMO Pad 7 Me70cx. Bricked, and I need help.

Ok I need some help. As of right now my tab is dead, the only thing it does when powered on is loads to the Asus splash screen and that's all. I can not get it into Fastboot mode at all and Adb cant find it either. I have already tried Sp Flashtools to no avail. I have all the Vcom drivers installed, every where I searched the one driver that people talked about was the mtk6585 driver ( I think that's what it is ) , the one for me that popped up and went away really fast was a driver called CLOVERVIEW. So needless to say I cant get SP Flash tools to work, and without fastboot mode im really stuck. Ever since I first came across this site a few years back I have rooted, and put custom roms on countless devices, I would call myself an experienced flasher. Well this tab has me feeling like a real noob, I can not figure it out. So if someone can help me it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you XDA world.

I just got myself into the same situation. If you can get to a point where CLOVERVIEW comes up, that can be fixed (I actually just added a howto to the general section). However, I don't know how to get out of the stuck splash screen, since it's an awkward medium between download and fastboot. I'm not even sure what I did to cause this; I had just flashed boot.img and splashscreen.img and issued a fastboot reboot-bootloader.
The device does indeed pop up in download mode for about a second while booting; doesn't seem long enough for a flash. I would really like to find out if there is any way to force this device to boot into download mode.

[bricked] HELP please, or is all hope lost

Was having wifi issues, found a tutorial on flashing firmware via usb, BUT downloaded an old firmware that made the whole device go to hell.
Has anyone managed to recover their device, or am I the only soul who was dumb enough to put myself in this situation.
I cannot get into fastboot, recovery, etc. booting leads to a blank screen.
Cheers

You will have to flash the stockrom files via Odin i am afraid

Do you have any sort of instructions.
I'm sorta familiar with Odin, but I thought that fastboot was a requirement?

Hey were you able to fix this issue? I am having a similar issue currently and would appreciate any help.

I was able to make some progress. Whenever i tried to fastboot a device would popup for a second on the computer and then disappear. At first I thought it was fastboot interface but looking closely at the device "OMAP4430" with vid 0451 and pid D00F, turns out it is an interface used to flash new first stage and main bootloaders on various devices such as galaxy nexus and galaxy tab 2 along with pandaboard and certain lg phones. There are utilities such as OMAP flash (by Texas instruments) and OMAP4BOOT (unofficial open source) that could talk to the device using this protocol. People have made scripts around these utilities to unbrick other devices mentioned above. I have played with these tools and i am able to push first loader called MLO or " xloader" by TI, fortunately google provides xloader with XE23 but i am not been able to push the main bootloader perhaps someone with more experience can help write configuration scripts for these tools that would work on glass so that i can get to fastboot and restore my device.

Unbrick Fire 7 (2017, 7th gen)?

I decided to factory reset a completely stock kindle but doing so has soft bricked it. It will go through the "optimizing system" process and attempt to load the initial set up screen which only remains visible for a brief second until turning black. Once there, it remains black forever. I can access the recovery menu again, and do another factory reset, but it simply does the same thing. Yes the battery is 100% charged, and yes I have the factory cable as well. So it's my understanding that I will need to flash this device in order to recover it. I've been reading around and looking at all the tools available, but I'm not sure what the best course of action is.
This method appears to be a solution to my problem. However, I've never once in my life used Linux so I am unfamiliar with it. In the recovery menu, the option to update via adb is sadly not present. Is there ANY way I can flash a stock rom on this device without Linux? Or is my only option the process in the post that I just linked? This is all new to me, and I am very willing to learn, but any help would be astoundingly appreciated. Please, I'm so out of my depth.

You need to short the pin like it says.
You are running the 7th gen so you need to short it.
The 5th gen has the ADB sideload option.

I know that is required for the linked method. But my biggest question is, if there exists a method by which I can flash it without Linux? I would think I could connect it via USB and do it from command line somehow.

The scripts are from linux.
There isnt a linux terminal for windows
Unless you count windows subsystem for linux
