Use the non signed version, it has always worked for me, but don't install it as a regular app, just copy the Maps.apk to system/app , change permissions to rw--r--r and reboot, all the applications should appear...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tagdat:
most like its because the modded rom you flash uses the unsigned version so it can't be updated. If I were you I would have stick with the unsigned version. If you don't want to reflash, you could extract the unsigned map.apk from the rom you flash and manually install it. It SHOULD work.

Hello Members,

I am new to this site and gone thru lots of forums, youtube and so on for my problem and more I am reading I am unable to find my answer correctly so decided to get your inputs.

I bought Bell - Galaxy S Vibrant 2.3.5 (Gingerbread) phone from Kijiji. Tried to unlock, mistakenly I followed 2.3.3 procedure here on xda to unlock. Phone bricked but was able to go to download mode.

I tried to flash the phone and odin stopped in between, kept as it is for a long time and nothing happened. I pulled it out from USB cable that was connected on the computer and phone bricked again which means now it doesn't even go to download mode at all.

1) Now I am getting a computer and cellphone and in centre a yellow triangle on the screen.

2) Phone does not get to the download mode

3) When I connect thru USB to the laptop, it doesn't detect the phone. Neither kies nor odin. Tried doing on another laptop as well and no luck.

Any suggestions how to fix my phone? Thanks in advance!!
[General Questions and Answers] bmurt1:
I'm had a pretty similar problem with a Tmobile Vibrant today with 2.2. Apparently you don't need to be in download mode for odin to work, as long as it has a com showing.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shiv4m:
I've been really thinking of moving from 2.2 Official Froyo to CM7, but I don't know which one to move to. Should I go with Nightly or Stable? I don't know the difference between to two and what I'm mainly focusing on is the battery performance. Some say they get amazing battery life with CM7, and some say the battery life is total garbage.

To all of you who have used CM7 or still use it, which one should I move to and how is the battery life on each of them? Thanks!

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mohsinkhan47:
This thread is created so everyone can just meet in one thread and solve a common problem, which is to root the HTC Vivid.

Let's start by looking at the problem. Temp-root is possible but superuser disappears from system folder.

What about putting superuser is the data/app folder?

Would not having the bootloader unlocked have any issues with rooting?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
if you download superuser from the market it goes in /data/app/ thats not the problem. the problem is the su binary, and busybox. you could probably symlink them, but the symlink wont stay. the problem with the locked bootloader, is that every time you reboot it wipes away any configurations you have done to anything in /system
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mohsinkhan47:
What if /system is already mounted at boot, that way the bootloader will be denied access to it since it is already mounted.

Edited: Never mind. Thats not a good idea. The OS runs of the /system folder. So mounting it will stop the OS from running.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
not sure i know how that would be possible....
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mohsinkhan47:
the bootloader from htc doesn't work either?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
AT&T users dont have any way to unlock the bootloader right now. The Raider can get an unlocked bootloader by using the HTCDev.com website.

if you have an unlocked bootloader, you can have permanent root.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bjg222:
The latest script upload from rpendrik seems to have made the su binary properly sticky. I'm going on 14 hours right now and it hasn't disappeared.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mohsinkhan47:

or

entering this in from a computer.

"fastboot oem unlock"
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
that is how we have been getting temp root.

fastboot oem unlock will not work. we have to get the unlock code from HTC, and they wont give it to us, likely because of AT&T

as of right now, this very instant, there is no way of unlocking the bootloader and achieving permanent root (that we have discovered)

THIS ONLY APPLIES TO THE AT&T VIVID

the Rogers RAIDER is unlockable and the permanent rootable.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rpendrick:
Could be completely off in thinking this, but:

Would it be possible to compare multiple Rogers/Bell identifier tokens, against their corresponding unlock.bin files (as they're both the same hex lengths)

and see if an algorithm can be found? And apply said algorithm to ATT Vivid's and see if we could generate our own unlock_code.bin from our identifier tokens?

Just the way I was looking at it, sorry if I'm completely off base.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mohsinkhan47:
Get me the files and I'll see if I can do something... oh and

pirate or anyone, could get the spl.img so I can mess with it
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Tx Redneck:
My curious got goin this morning and I wonder, would it be possible to use the same or similar process on the Vivid to s-off and root that's used on the DHD/Inspire?

If the firmware can be temp flashed using the gold card trick to use the Ca or Kor version then exploit it, in theory this could work, no?

Saved and Texan by the grace of God, Redneck by choice.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pside15:
I was actually thinking the same thing last night but I figured that attn1, who figured out the Inspire root, would have already thought of or tried it. I'm also not sure if the boot-loader was actually "locked" on the Inspire.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] doktor buknasty:
I don't think attn1 has the device. You remember the thread he made about boycotting it?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dbaser:
He doesn't have one... and I doubt he will either.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Tx Redneck:
The bootloader was locked, it's just that HTC has very aggressively closed those exploits.

*le sigh, I sooooo wish he'd try hackin on one.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pside15:
Yea, but I just assumed that if the same exploit would have worked he may not have been adamant about boycotting it.

---------- Post added at 11:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:55 AM ----------

Oh, I didn't know it was locked on the Inspire. I just didn't remember seeing it say "Locked" at the top of the bootloader screen on my Inspire like it does on my Vivid.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] doktor buknasty:
So trying the ace hack kit would be a no-go?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pside15:
As it is now would definitely be a no go. Not sure if it could be edited to work with the Vivid or not. I don't think so but I don't know enough about development to know for sure either way.

thread cleaned of last night's shenanigans. although i won't lie there was one post i found rather humorous. but, lets keep this on topic, and keep flaming to a minimum. even if it is a guy claiming to unlock iphone androids for money ;)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] carlosjcar:
Trying to get on topic here.

The bootloader is locked.

Some one was going to find the guy with that prototipe with s off. What happened to that effort?

Some one was talking About hexing the hboots or something about spoofing the cid.

What about some leak roms would it be posible to get a prerelease Rom that had an unlocked boot? The vivid had to be tested before release.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] malickie:
The 1st part I am unsure of same with the 2nd part as for the 3rd part that would, I assume involve getting someone in the development team at HTC to leak it and that is not very likely to happen. Although you do have a good point, I wonder what happened to the person with the prototype.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] 8125Omnimax:
I fear somewhere down the line we will have to jtag this phone to set it to s-off. The only imaginable option at this point. Nobody is close to a software method and there has been no valid reported "progress". The good news is that it's unusually quiet on this thread, devs tend to "keep to themselves", and don't want to share pertinent info so they can take full credit in the beginning stages. All eyes are on this phone.

I have been reading up on every htc unlock method for every phone under their umbrella. Hard to believe nobody has a clue on this phone.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] carlosjcar:
That jtag idea sounds solid, do we know the pins and so? Is a disassembly guide available? Maybe that ifixit site has it?

After all the ngative issues I think is time we focus on what xda is all about.

HTC has never been perfect and I doubt

That out of a sudden they have been able to plug all holes and exploits.

Encryption of the bootloader was a good move on their part but I know that there's got to be someone smarter amongst us able to crack this.

I refuse to let the OEM or the carriers have the last laugh. I believe that returning the phone is acepting they have won ...

It is time people let's figure it out it is not impossible!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Chr0nicDreamz:
I got fed up with HTC. I returned my vivid , picked up a skyrocket, and sold all but 2 HTC devices. 1 I use for app development. The other I have as backup.

I will give them another chance when they release the quad core device which is due out next yr. However, if it too is also locked at the boot loader, I'll never buy HTC again.

HTC = Hate The Consumer
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ClippinWings:

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] malickie:
I have to agree with above post I totally feel bad for your eyes. The sgs2 did WAY better with the screen than the horrid stretching to 4.5 inches the skyrocket is. I mean the banding and blobbing the picture has when watching anything in dim light is just atrocious.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] sportsinger75:
Again, off topic and not useful to getting root. This type of comment should be limited to the General forum. Thanks.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] gmarcoux:
So apparently, root may be coming to the vivid later on today "http://rootzwiki.com/topic/11744-controversy-over-rezound-s-off-and-some-tips-facts/" . My question is, once this is done and development begins for the vivid, should vivid customer roms work on bell raiders or is this going to be the same as the bell/at&t Atrix?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Apatche69:
I don't see how it would be an issue. It's probably very similar to how devs are able to cook for the desire hd and the inspire. Some of the devs even put both of the file types in the flashable zip and when you flash the zip, it will load the appropriate files for your device.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] nielp96:
Wait was the htc inspire 4g bootloader already unlocked ??
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ZeroRilix:
Nope, it is locked almost as tight as the bullion depository in Fort Knox.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] knuckleheadAj3:
Yeah. That and the stupid Thunderbolt were both a pain in the ass...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jaxboater:
Yours isn't still, is it?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] nielp96:
So can we overcome s off using old methods like one we used on the inspire and desire hd they both same in hardware and software. Aren't the htc vivid and raider same in hardware and software ?

Sry if I am getting off topic
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Apatche69:
Attn1 wrote the s-off tool for the desire hd and inspire. We can't ask for his help since he is boycotting the device. Bubby's hack tool for the inspire pushed an older desire hd Rom to the inspire that could be exploited so that you could achieve s-off and root. Since the vivid and raider were released at about the same time I don't think we have the advantage that desire hd did when it was first launched. I'm sure that the people trying to help us get s-off and root knew about this method already though.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] 8125Omnimax:
I say either one of two possibilities, the vivid can achieve s-off with a goldcard, or a jtag mod. Security is pretty tight on this device.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] :
Pirateghost already tried the gold card method. check page five on this thread.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Infinimint:
Those two devices were done using goldcards and pre-existing exploits. Nothing very impressive.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ZeroRilix:
Nope, running RunnyDroid at the moment and am gonna try the others until I get my Vivid the Thursday after Christmas. Just because the Vivid hasn't been rooted yet isn't gonna make me not want it. IMHO, the Vivid is the best device, all-around, on AT&Ts network. Despite the fact that I'm not in an LTE capable area yet. The LTE radio is just the icing and cherry on the cake. Mark my words, the Vivid WILL get unlocked and rooted. Whether that is by HTC unlocking it, or we find a backdoor to get root, the Vivid IS going to get cracked!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] JSLEnterprises:
No, it wasn't. Early methods used the eu dhd's engineering hboot. (.85.0005), not viable since newer manufactured devices (all 3 variants) have issues with the old hboot on occasion (excessively long boot times/exaggerated slow response time issuing bootloader commands/navigation in bootloader).

The newer bootloaders 2.00.00xx also repartition the emmc for sense 3.0+ (like the Vivid-Raider/Sensation/EVO3D)

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ZeroRilix:
Has HTC even posted the source code for Raider? Cause that would definitely allow us to scan its code for even the smallest backdoor to exploit and achieve the golden unlock and root.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] 8125Omnimax:
Perhaps we can "unhide" partitions on the vivid. If we can manage to modify the factory reset manifest with injected root, it might be possible. Then we can just execute factory default in our systems in the recovery menu to boot up a rooted rom. Risk is everything but there is a war Cingular firmware download that was floating around for the vivid on the vivid posts when the phone was released.

HTC used RUU in the past for winmo phones and it was easy to just rename the file and flash from sd. I think all android phones do this at the moment. Anyone tinker with that firmware file for the vivid?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
Tried it. Nada.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] 8125Omnimax:
What is this new partition scheme I'm hearing about regarding sense 3.0 and the bootloader?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ClippinWings:
yes they have.

Interesting enough, the actual filename includes the device name "holiday"
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] 8125Omnimax:
We need to see the inside guts of the vivid, anyone got a link, source for raider contains nothing relevant
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
To be very honest, I doubt we're going to see an official unlock until the ICS RUU drops for this device, since AT&T is deciding to be a massive PIT* with this.

Forgive my lack of knowledge, but I would think there to be a perfectly good software method for this procedure, it's a matter of cracking the security algorithm. Has any progress been made on the Rezound? I'm not really following its development that closely.

For sure, I would rather wait it out for HTCdev/AT&Poo to actually unlock it, than to take a soldering iron to the device's motherboard. Never been a fan of hardware mods, but if it keeps you guys happy ;).
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ClippinWings:
Yes the rezound has been cracked, but currently the method is crude at best, the dev team responsible it's going to clean it up before releasing it.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
Weren't people saying that the Rezound is very similar to the Vivid, and that once the Rezound fell, it was only a matter of time before the Vivid does too?

Wouldn't that mean we're making progress here, implicitly?

By the by, how do you get the Android Speedtest image into your signature?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ClippinWings:
Yes gsleon has started that this helps, but he is looking for a spare vivid to use for dev.

I'm the speed test app there is a share option, do it by email and email it to yourself, the get the link to the image and use that for the image in your sig
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] IanWizard:
Where do these RUU's come from?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] 8125Omnimax:
Here is a little step toward progress I guess... I was reading the Rezound forums a few hours ago, I read if you execute the leaked RUU for any rom, in this case the Cingular RUU wwe rom for the vivid that was released on these forums a month ago, and check your windows temp directory for "rom.zip", that is in fact the bootloader!

I hear it's a signed zip of course, and and being that it is, it should be no match for decryption... Or not

Look for the keys that enable/disable s-off, by using the same string on the raider that defines as s-off

Re sign the file and flash the bootloader to the default file flashname on the sd cards root after tweaking and s off should happen... right...

Why does this sound so familiar....

Someone tell me if I'm stepping on toes that have already walked on this idea.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
how do you propose we sign the file? i have already pulled the rom.zip from the RUU and provided it to everyone here. you cant modify it and have it work, unless someone can sign it with HTC keys
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rinnycoop121:
guys just a question, would getting the sim unlock code do any good towards the bootloader unlock?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ClippinWings:
No they are separate issues.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] JSLEnterprises:
well, for the dhd specifically, when they implemented gingerbread, they started seperating the libs from within \system\ into its own .img (within the rom), almost a new partition, but not quite. The reason for this implementation, my guess, is because of the limited htc online bootloader unlock has something to do with it.

Now with 3.12+ versions (hboot 2.00.0027 and higher) takes some of the \data\ partition size and moves it over to \cache. Im pretty sure similar has been implemented in newer versions of rom's for the pyramid(sensation), and shooter(evo3d), bliss, runnymede(sens. xl), etc... my guess is, its in preparation for ICS(heavily speculated). My cache partition is now 300mb, when before it was 200.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] s14evil:
Has anyone got the Europan version rooted ....
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ClippinWings:
