ok, I have one for you...splash screen flashing (White HTC Screen)....

This guide is for HTC sensation, but the manual process is takes from the HTC HD2, so I assume that thye splash is in the same location in the Vivid!

there is nothing to do it automatically as yet, but it is not hard! (if you can do what you have done so far, that would be a 10 minute job!)

Thanks

You could also add an option to root stock ROM for those who want to stay with the stck ROM!!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] vhjc:
We can't do this because we don't have S-OFF yet.

do you think we ever will get it?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] vhjc:
Yes, I'm pretty sure we will get it. There's an user of this forum that somehow got his Vivid with S-Off directly from HTC and some devs are seeing if we can get S-OFF off that.

you tool is really good

i want to use it to install the kernel and then the rom to try

i see you have bananacakes is really good

but i wanna try this other one

can you help?

how can i install this kernel i need??

thanks
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] hasoon2000:
Open the file. Extract the folder. Run RunBootImg.bat. It'll flash the kernel.

You have 1000+ posts. Please look in the kernel attachment that you provided. You extract that (not my toolkit), and run the FlashBootImg.

question on "If it is the first time you flash a kernel, make sure to reflash it!'

sorry if this is obvious, but to me it's not and I'm a bit confused.

can someone explain what this sentence that's on the bottom left corner means?

"If it is the first time you flash a kernel, make sure to reflash it!"

does it mean to re-flash the kernel twice? if so, do I do it before going onto the next step; my next step would be to do 'perm root'.

thanks in advance!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] hasoon2000:
The lower half is optional. If you want to just perm root it, then click the perm root button. If you want to flash a kernel, you must flash it twice.

Okay so am I correct in assuming that you *need* to unlock the bootloader in order to perm-root the ICS ROM for the Vivid?

Or do you not need to unlock the bootloader in order to perm-root?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ottoman96:
Thank you VERY MUCH for this utility!!!

I used it to update after i upgraded to ics... Unlocking and recovery ran great.... When i tried to flash the new kernel, however, that's when i ran into the white htc screen problem... Had to download the htc ics installer and reflash that to get it to boot up again. I unlocked it and flashed the new recovery again, but i'm wondering why the links for the CIQ removal don't work, and why the perm root link doesn't work? Or is it not needed? Thanks in advance!

(Also I didn't realize the user naming problem you mentioned in post 2 until after I had finished everything... I don't think it's a problem because I got everything to work and I have a space in my username... Just a observation)

I haven't been able to make the permaroot feature work either... I didn't try it without unlocking but even when i set it to fastboot usb and i still couldn't get it to function
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] hasoon2000:
Kernel is for GB, not ICS. I have to rewrite the script for perm root.

You need the boot loader unlocked with a recovery to permroot. No exceptions
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ottoman96:
Right, I unlocked the bootloader and flashed the new recovery before i tried permroot. So are you saying it needs to be rewritten for ICS? Thanks again!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] hasoon2000:
I need to rewrite the script. Actually, I just have to remove 2 letters and the root will work.

I have a stock AT$T ICS install ViVid. I get to step 5 and and it stops. The bin file starts but does not copy. I tried to do it manually but it does the same thing. Any ideas?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] megatronisabeast:
Make sure you copied the entire unlock code.bin into the data folder. If you still can't get it to work you may need to reunlock it using the htc website. I had no problems with locking and unlocking my boot loader on ics using the toolkit.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] krekol:
I am not sure what you mean by copying the entire unlock.code.bin into the data folder. There was only one file (unlock.code.bin) in the E-Mail from the HTC website and I saved it directly into the data folder. The bad part is I have tried it twice with the HTC website. Still locks up at trying to transfer the bin file.

This is where I get stuck at:

C:\Vivid\data>adb kill-server

C:\Vivid\data>adb reboot bootloader

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *

C:\Vivid\data>fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin

Root help

I used the all in one tool.

Phone is unlocked and WCX recovery installed.

When I select GB/ICS root the phone boots into WCX recovery screen but in the cmd windows it says error:device not found.

I tried using the WCX to install su and I now have super user as one of the apps but Titanium backup could not acquire root privileges

What am I doing wrong?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] :
- ONCE BOOTED, if you have titanium backup installed but it says there isn't root or busybox isn't installed, download a free app from the market called BUSYBOX INSTALLER. Run this program and proceed in installing busybox. After that, try titanium backup again and it should work.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] samsat:
I tried that, when I try to run it, says no root detected.

Any other ideas?

Thanks for the help.

Did you flash the rooted kernel in wild Childs post on page 24 of this thread? If you follow his step by step you will have root.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lilmikey201:
im confused by it.i already have my bootloader unlocked

so do i just put PH39IMG.zip in the zip card and flash it ? or flash boot.zip.then flash the recovery (do i need to download a custom rom and install it ) then install superuser & su ?

im completely lost

i appreciate the help
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] megatronisabeast:
You would actually start with step 12 where you flash the wcx recovery-which you already did. Next would be to flash the boot.zip which is the rooted kernel. Don't forget to flash the kernel through fast boot commands like you did the recovery. I believe that may be why root didn't take for you. You didn't have the kernel. You don't have to flash a new rom. You can stay on the one you are on.

Here are the directions from wild childs post so you don't have to flip back and forth:

12 Flashed wcx recovery (provided)

13 Flashed rooted kernel (provided)

14 Booted ROM,fully loaded

15 Rebooted into recovery

16 Installed superuser and su

17 Signed into Market

18 installed stericson Busybox

19 Installed titanium Backup

20 Succesfully rooted with stock att rom

21 Reboot phone after doing said process above Perm root achieved

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] megatronisabeast:
You flash the boot.img which has the kernel. You need to have downloaded android sdk to your computer, google it if you don't have it, unzip it, locate the folder with fast boot in it, place the boot.img in to that folder, put your phone in to fast boot mode, press power button and volume down. Then once the hboot screen appears plug phone into computer, click on fast boot, fast boot usb shows up on phone in red letters, open a command prompt in the file with the fast boot file by pressing shift and right click, then type in this command fastboot flash boot boot.img Also don't forget to flash the rom after this through recovery.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lilmikey201:
unzipped the sdk tools,cant find the fastboot tool..only see fastboot in the folder where i downloaded the toolkit (where u post the unlock code in)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] megatronisabeast:
