[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jaxellis:
fastboot flash zip jb_hboot.zip

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] duckredbeard:
Tried that 3 times. Exactly as you said. Even checked for typos....

And there IS a jb_hboot.zip file in that folder. The other two commands worked fine.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] duckredbeard:
Goo manager does not install TWRP. Flashing another recovery in recovery also does not work-no change.

My htc Raider boot loop

hey,i rooted my phone and flashed a cyanogenmod jellybean to my phone.after when i reboot it it only showing 'htc' logo only.

after i flashed a holics rom for it.then also i failed.please help me soon. and how can i get my old rom.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
Ah, you're right. I got so used to the devs cooking their own kernel into the package so it would erase the old one each time you flashed a ROM. Consider it fixed. :D
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slinkygn:
This worked flawlessly. Thanks!

Do we have a way to change the CID on this thing yet?

Root Question - Rooting Over Another Root

I unlocked the bootloader on htcdev and rooted the phone using the method by "big22" (Second Sticky) "Easily Temproot Your Vivid (Now For Windows & Linux/Mac)" which worked perfectly. I would really like to have CWM recovery and am wondering what would happen if I flash CWM over my present root, or if it's even possible to do it?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] songsong69:
i lost all my data when i unlock bootloader x-(

now, super user icon appears in my app draw but i even can not use neither Titanium Backup nor Root Explorer!

it said that my device doesnt get rooted. :-s ****tt!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pside15:
Yeah, you loose all data when unlocking the bootloader. What root method did you use?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pside15:
Should be fine. There are other people posting that they are flashing CWM after being rooted with no issues. Check earlier post in this thread.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] songsong69:
i use this method :( but now i can not install titanium backup :(
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
Are you sure you installed the second file it tells you to? And then what do you mean by you can't install titanium backup? It literally won't install from the market or installs but says no root?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pside15:
It probably says no root. I had the same issue when using the CWM root method. I had to end up using the HTC super tool to get root.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] akcooper9:
Seems like half doing it one way or the other. For those who have done the HTC Super Tool way, how are you getting CWM installed after the fact?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
Damn. I might add the supertool in there as a backup solution. Does titanium just say busybox isn't installed? Sometimes I've gotten the no root message and I download a market app called something like busybox installer and it usually works after I have it install busybox. Maybe this is a different problem though...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
Use the same CWM root guide, but stop when you get to the guide telling to to install the vivid root zip.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] :
Might want to include that vivid phones with this cwm will not charge with phone off...disable fastboot,turn off phone,plug in and cwm pops up instead of blank screen or charging animation

WC
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
Didn't even know that... Thanks for the info, I will surely add it in.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pside15:
Yea, I was getting a busybox error of some kind.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pside15:
I had cwm installed first. But you can use the super tool and then install CWM like normal.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
Interesting... I'm thinking maybe directing people to download busybox installer out of the market and running it might do the trick. Can anyone else add some insight on this?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] capman231:
WC mine charges with fastboot off or on but I never have had a charge indication with the phone off, even stock. I have flashed a battery % indicator that I made in the UOT kitchen just to test the recovery when I installed it. I didn't use the CWM root as I already had perm root. I just flashed the CWM.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] songsong69:
this is my trouble!

i use the method in the first post: flash VIVID_CWM_ROOT through the recovery to get rooted :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] :
This is what does not work when phone is off with this cwm install....
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] capman231:
I thought that might be what you were talking about. My phone has never had it from the day I took it out of the box. Do you have to turn it on somewhere?

WC I have never had it hooked to the wall charger, is that why I don't see it?

I have always charged off of my USB port on my computer.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] :
its in the recovery.img for the stock build...no no way to turn it on...its supposed to be there from the door....this was hooked up too laptop also...if phone is off it should be there when plugged into any power source....
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
Gotcha. Do a google search on the HTC supertool v2. If you find it, do steps one and two. If not, I will post more instructions in 30 minutes max when I get home.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] capman231:
That's wierd, it's never been on mine from the first charge. It lays between my keyboard and mouse pad when it's hooked up to the computer and the only charge indication I have ever had is the red LED.

Every thing is working fine so I won't worry about a charge indicator, just use my red LED like I have been doing.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
the phone has to be OFF...like actually OFF, not just screen off
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pside15:
Yep, this was my exact issue as well using the CWM root. Supertool even had a few issues getting root as well at first. I think it had something to so with the SU app being in /system/app when I tried to run it. I had to run supertool 2 times and reboot before root would stick. Then I used a file manager to remove the other SU app from system apps and have had no issues since.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
Alright, added this to the OP in case the same happens to others. Pirateghost is working on another CWM Recovery for us. Go check the other CWM Perm Root thread and look at his post with the new recovery. It would be great if anyone could test that with a Vivid.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] capman231:
If you mean off as in push the power button it was. If you mean hold the power button until it asks if you want to turn off or what ever, it wasn't off that way.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
I think that's what he means, completely off. Not A HUGE issue though because not many people turn off their phone to charge.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
exactly.

as in POWERED OFF

that animation is only shown when your phone is powered off and plugged in.

with the CWM that we currently have, it just boots straight into recovery when you plug it in, but its still charging. my aria did the same thing
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] capman231:
I guess that's why I have never saw it, I never turn my phone completely "off". I always figured if it was off you might as well not have a phone.:)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
lol. some of us have more than one phone and we turn off the one we arent currently using to charge it ;)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] capman231:
OK I understand now, you're lucky to have more than one. I have never been that lucky.:)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] soljafree:
Tried this root method and alternative and still do not have root access on my htc vivid can someone please help

Edit: nvm tried again and worked
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
Do you mean the supertool? What exactly did you have to try again?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] :
No not a huge issue,but still an issue never the less....i shut mine off at night to charge while im asleep,if i dont it would go off constantly....

WC
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
True true, why settle for anything less. :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mark72501:
Regarding unlocking the bootloader, in the first step it says this will wipe all your personal data. Does this mean any and all apps installed, etc., will be wiped away or will they remain but personal data as in settings will be wiped?

Sorry for the noob question but I just got the Vivid today...read through this thread but didn't see this answered.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] :
yes will reset device to stock...

---------- Post added at 08:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 PM ----------

May have something special for everyone very soon regarding cwm....

WC
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
Including apps. But any you may have bought will stay on your google account.

But that's very exciting WC! Let me know when your treat is ready and I will update the thread. ;)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] songsong69:
yeah,i used HTC supertool. This is step two =.=
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slinkygn:
Well, that's weird... I used the earlier HTC Supertool method to root, and the battery charge status indicator shows just fine for me.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
this has nothing to do with rooting. we are talking about RECOVERY... like CWM :D
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slinkygn:
Uh, yeah, that's the weird part. :) That's about the only thing I did differently. Other than that, I'm running the modded CWM and I get the battery indicator just fine.

EDIT: "That" that I did differently being what I referred to earlier -- that I used the older, HTC Supertool-based method, and not the current method posted.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
what CWM did you use?

there is only one recovery compiled for our phone at this time...that i have found

are you and i even talking about the same damn thing here?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mark72501:
Thanks for the responses earlier. I unlocked the bootloader and then rooted the device.

FYI...I had to use the Super Tool method as the first method did not work. However, after Super Tool I was rooted.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] capman231:
Battery Charge Indicator

Well I didn't root with CWM or Super Tools either, I used big222's method for Windows and only flashed the recovery (Step 1) and my battery indicator is fine, even with the phone completely "off".

Actually I should have said the first part of step 2, because I already had root with the bootloader unlocked. The CWM recovery works just fine. I have already flashed a custom battery percentage that I made in the UOT kitchen and did a Nand backup.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
That's really odd. The supertool is pretty straightforward so it's hard to have any user error. Try asking for help in the supertool thread, they might've ran into that issue before. The link for the supertool is at the bottom of that step in the OP.

Good deal. I'm glad I put the supertool method back in just in case.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
For the record, the CWM root method is actually mine. ;) i told erik he could post it

also. what CWM recovery are you all using that allows you to keep the battery animation? the only recovery i know of is bananacakes recovery and it DOES NOT have the battery animation....

i am not talking about the METHOD of rooting, i am talking about actual recovery flash....
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
Ah, I did not know that. I will surely change it then to the true creator :D. As for the other guys, I'm pretty damn sure it has to be bananacakes CWM. Theres none other out for this device so I don't see any other option.

As for the new recovery you are working on, will it work on both the raider and vivid, or should I probably direct the raider to the old recovery and vivid to your new recovery just in case?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pside15:
I don't think everyone is on the same page. I flashed the CWM from bannacakes and the tried the CWM root but had issues. I used HTC super tool after that to get rooted. I have no battery indicator when the phone is off. Just boots into CWM. Which I think is kinda cool for some reason. I think most others are thinking about a different battery indicator.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slinkygn:
Right... we *have* to be talking about the same thing.

Let me try to spell this out again, as obviously I was not clear the first time around (my bad):

I am using the modified CWM recovery from this thread. So, exactly the same recovery you're talking about -- the only one available for this phone.

And my phone shows the battery charge indicator just fine.

So, apparently, *despite* our using exactly the same CWM, we are getting different results on the battery indicator -- meaning empirical evidence seems to show that there is some detail of the rooting process itself that must have affected whether the indicator shows. Because clearly it's not the recovery image that's the difference.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
ok. this is odd then, since ROOT has absolutely no bearing on battery animation when the phone is off. ROOT only applies to a booted OS. on every other device that i have had that this EXACT same thing has happened, it required a new CWM to be built, because it was a CWM/Recovery problem....the battery animation is directly related to the recovery being used.

confusion abound here because a bunch of us are seeing CWM when we plug the phone in after turning it off....
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] travisxcore:
Just thought I'd post this in case anyone had issues.

*I have W8 on my lappy so I VMed XP*

I never got a confirmation when flashing the recovery image, it just hung. So I waited ~5 minutes and exited out of the cmd. It worked.

Same happened when flashing the boot image for RumRaider.

Root zip said it aborted in CWM recovery. It worked.

When flashing the RumRaider rom I got conformation though.

So if youre doing it manually and it hangs or says it aborts, check and see if it did indeed work.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
Interesting... Let's see if pirateghosts new recovery fixes the issue before we make any conclusions though.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slinkygn:
On a side note, I'm starting to note from the lack of response that my question above was apparently a dumber one than I thought... :)

Can anyone point me in the right direction as for where to be asking this other than here, so a man can learn to fish? PM is fine, if the thread isn't the place for it.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
actually i think this thread is perfectly fine for talking about CID unlock. currently we dont have a way since the radios are locked at the moment with S-ON. i dont think that there are any methods yet that allow us to unlock the CID. by all means, if you find something, let us know. it would be beneficial to the community to get CID unlock and S-OFF
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] travisxcore:
I hope it does cause that could throw a lot of people with little experience off. I just decided to check because with my HD2, and Pure I had issues like that all the time.

Now that I think about it, it could just have been my computer. My hdd fragged all to hell on me out of nowhere (to the point of where a gig file would lock my computer up) and I think my vhd might have gotten messed up slightly cause it has been working odd lately. Although that only explains the adb side.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slinkygn:
Thanks... I'm guessing subsidy unlock is on that list too?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] capman231:
Pirate, the only recovery I have touched came out of the first post above and I rooted with the "big222" root for windows. What ever is causing the charging Icon to change to recovery looks to me like it has to be something in the root process being used. My charging icon never changes.

By the way, thanks for a nice recovery, it's version 5 modified isn't it?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pactronic:
Stuck on HTC Logo

Unlock and root went fine then i tried to flash custom cwm and now i cant boot past htc logo. I put the vivid cwm zip on my micro sd card went into hboot click recovery and first i saw a green ring then a red ring i took out battery rebooted it says HTC and goes no futher. Any help would be appreciate.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mark72501:
Any reason my data won't work after unlocking the bootloader and rooting? I checked the apn settings and they show to be what is listed in other places here on xda for at&t's lte (though we don't have LTE here yet).

Should I use some other settings or what gives here? I was using wifi all last night while going through the process and then setting up the device (downloading apps, etc.) and this morning when I kick off wifi I show service, and can send/receive texts, but anything requiring data - gmail, Facebook, etc. - says no data connection. :confused: :confused: :confused:

UPDATE:

I created a new APN using the old apn settings (below) and immediately got data. Is the reason I was not getting data with the other settings (which are still saved on my phone under another APN for future use) because the SIM I have is not an "LTE SIM" or something? I didn't think of that until now but it's the same SIM I've had for awhile...has the firey 3G logo on it...

All help appreciated...and sorry if this is the wrong place for this but posting here because I noticed it after going through this process (but if it's the SIM then obviously it existed before, I just didn't realize it).

I was able to use supertool while my vivid is stuck on the htc logo it went through step 1 and 2 just a little info to help someone help me thanks

---------- Post added at 09:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:28 AM ----------

When i take out battery put back in and hboot its says unlocked, I tried a factory reset but when i reboot it goes back to the same white htc logo screen and stays there.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
So how did you root? Supertool? You are saying you tried to flash the recovery through recovery without even having recovery? Flashing the recovery has to be done through a command prompt.

That zip you were trying to flash will do nothing if you already have root. You only need recovery if you already have root and that can't be flashed through a recovery you don't even have yet.

Just take me through the sequence of events you did here.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
I saw this thread on that http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1417926 . Is that what you used?

It actually could be the sim. Call up att and have them send you one, they do it free. You're using a 3G sim in a 4G/LTE device. I used my old 3G sim in my inspire and my data didn't work until I switched out the sim.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mark72501:
Updated my post to include what settings I used but essentially yes. I guess that's the problem; I had not thought it would be an issue but it makes sense. Thanks!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
You messed something up when you tried to go into recovery, because you didn't even have recovery yet. Follow these steps to get back to stock. After that, follow my guide WORD FOR WORD. There is a reason I made supertool the backup option. Don't do the supertool first this time.

1. Get the Cingular RUU if you don't already have it (I got it here, the server was down in the main RUU thread for this ruu file) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1416956

2. Had to relock bootloader to get past the verification error (if you have your unlock.bin you just reuse the same file to re-unlock)

3. Boot your phone to bootloader then select fastboot. (you will likely have to pull the battery to get this step done)

4. Connect your phone & run the RUU and you should be good.

5. (optional) Re-unlock & root.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pactronic:
Thanks for replying i finally got it I boot up my vivid it froze on the htc logo then i took a att vivid boot img file put it in boot flash took the old boot img file out of there and click on the bootimgflash.bat file it did its thing i rebooted it booted up all the way still rooted but had to reinstall apps and setup.

Nice! I'll update the OP asap.

Edit: OP has been updated
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] markjo:
Thanks for this great guide. But you forgot to add to step two that you need to extract adbfastbootrecovery in order to use the fastboot commands.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
;)

I went ahead and specified the exact file to extract though, in case someone plans on extracting the other file. Thanks.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
I'm adding APN settings to the guide because many have been having issues with those. I'm hoping this might stop some of the same threads over and over asking the same question in the future. If you have some info to share, please let me know! Right now I'm adding regular Medianet, basic AT&T that I've used for years, and any others I can find that have already been posted. If you have one that works (LTE, just data, etc) just post it here.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mark72501:
The only thing I would edit is maybe adding clearly that the LTE settings will only work if you have an LTE SIM card. I just had to created a new APN with the basic settings and contact AT&T to have them send me an LTE SIM. The guy I talked to confirmed this was the case.

I wasn't aware of this and had to ask in a thread earlier...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
Gotcha, ill have to add that in (and order myself an LTE sim card).
