bummer

i have a nice brick. as soon as flashed a recovery, all hell broke loose. it's like there is no operating system on it now.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] hasoon2000:
You go all the way to flashing a recovery, then flash SU manually.

Can you get into bootloader?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rwcj63:
yes. that's not a problem at all. and recovery. it seemed to be working fine. but it won't find the operating system. and when i try to run an ruu, it give me an access error.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] hasoon2000:
If you can get into bootloader and recovery, then you have nothing to worry about. It's called a soft brick and it can be fixed. Boot into recovery, mount the storage, add a ROM you want, flash the ROM.

Do you wanna return to stock?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] shogunmark:
I am going to temporarily sticky this.. I would eventually like to see this linked in the Superguide that is already stickied.

Nice work hasoon2000!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] hasoon2000:
Thanks a lot! Would you like to add any requests to add to my tool? I need new ideas lol.

The only thing that might be helpful is the ability to flash custom recoveries and kernel's through the GUI.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] hasoon2000:
I do have that in the GUI. All I found was CWM 5.5.0.4 recovery, stock and holicakes kernel. Is there anything else in the forum that I missed?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] hasoon2000:

so there is going to be no s-off for the vivid?

how are radio updates going to work?

(this device is getting worse by the day!)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] hasoon2000:
There probably will. It takes time and there is others that would want to take the challenge and find a method.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
Will do as soon as I get to my desktop. Is that all good with you OP? :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] hasoon2000:
Of course! Not a problem with me :)

Unlocked Bootloader with such ease. Nice one Hasoon! If I may add a suggestion, possibly a Perm Root?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] hasoon2000:
Thanks! I have been thinking about perm root but you have to be in recovery to do so. I am thinking of a way to flash it via fastboot or something, if possible.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bangorang:
True true. I was gonna make a video on unlocking bootloader and all that good stuff but you have made this beast so when I unlocked mine and all that stuff I just realized I was supposed to make a vid for someone, ill send him to this thread so he can learn how to do this. Kickass tool dude!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] hasoon2000:
I finally added a Perm Root option. So you can send your friend this way so he can use it. Thanks!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] hasoon2000:
V1.2 Released 2-18-2012

- Added a Perm Root option.

VERY IMPORTANT

(When you run it, wait til you are in recovery. Then press a button and it will push the files)

Nice tool

Thanks alot great tool.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] hasoon2000:
Thank you sir!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Meercy:
wat if my bootloader is already unlocked. can u still use this tool or do u have relock the bootloader.. i know that sounds crazy but just checking.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] hasoon2000:
You can still use the tool. You dont need to relock the bootloader or anything
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rohit275:
Just a guess, but ruu probably doesn't work since your bootloader is probably still unlocked. It's NOT a brick if you can get into recovery, literally anything can be saved if you can make it there. Do what hasoon2000 said and either get the rom of your choice or re-lock the bootloader and try to do the ruu or zip file method for returning to stock (if that's what you want), both of which are outlined in the superguide.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rwcj63:
i didn't like all the bloatware. drove me nuts. it's just that nothing seemed to have access after i flashed a recovery. it didn't make any sense to me that i would get an error with and ruu file. i've never seen that before.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rohit275:
Put a debloated Sense or AOSP rom on your sd card, boot into recovery, and flash it. That should take care of most of your issues.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rwcj63:
didn't fix the problem. it flashed fine with no errors but the phone won't boot to it. i flashed darkraider

EDIT.

so. i relocked the bootloader and ran the ruu and now i'm back up and going. the flashed rom didn't work. any suggestions as to what exactly i did wrong?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] hasoon2000:
If you flashed a ROM and it didn't work, it means you needed to flash a kernel.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rwcj63:
i did flash a kernel.

here's what i did:

1) unlocked bootloader

2) flashed recovery

3) flashed kernel.

then only the recovery would work until i relocked the bootloader and ran the ruu.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] hasoon2000:
Did you flash a kernel from my toolkit? and are you on ICS?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rwcj63:
yes and yes
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] hasoon2000:
I see the problem. The kernels in my TK are for GB only. I haven't updated it yet with the ICS kernel. :rolleyes:
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ApokrifX:
Good to know! :rolleyes:
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rohit275:
I have a question, if you're S-Off, do you need to still flash the kernel before flashing a custom ROM? I guess I'm confused as to why I needed S-off (I always thought the purpose was to be able to flash custom roms, kernels, and recoveries without the security check from HTC, but apparently this is all possible with an S-On device).

I know it also depends on each ROM.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rwcj63:
out of respect for you, i won't say what i'm thinking. just read my mind. ;)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jherbold:
Noobs are suffering

If you are going to update the kernel section anyway, PLEASE insert a note/warning if flashing a kernel to know it must match the rom installed or a boot loop/dead wifi is likely. And another note/warning if flashing a custom rom to extract the boot.img from that rom and flash it ising fastboot.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] zcucurullo:
OTA update on stock!!!

Hello, can I make a OTA update to ICS and after that use your All-in-one kit?

I'm asking since i have a stock phone with no changes made running GB.

Or do you recommend using the All-in-One kit and after upgrading to a custom ROM ICS?

I really dont care about the AT&T apps on the phone.

Thank you!!!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] hasoon2000:

[Question] Hasoon2000's HTC Vivid All-In-One Kit

My CURRENT HTC Vivid configuration is described below.

Android Version: 4.0.3

HTC Sense Version: 3.6

Software number: 3.26.502.56 710RD

***Boot loader is locked

***Phone is s-on

***Phone is fully operational

I had a PREVIOUS HTC Vivid phone which I bricked using this tool.

How I bricked my old phone is described by http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1662516

At the end of linked thread, I flashed the PH39IMG.zip, which recovered my phone; however, my radio was no longer working. Later while trying to fix the radio issue, I finally killed the phone.

I would like to root my NEWphone; however, I want to know where I went wrong the first time before trying this process again.

Thanks in advance for your help.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rwcj63:
Users were following your guide. Don't blame the users when the guide was lacking and faulty.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] hasoon2000:
It was in the optional section.You have to have some idea what you're doing to your phone.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rwcj63:
i knew exactly what i was doing. i've unlocked and rooted 20 or more phones. some easy, some not so much. the biggest problem here is your lack of documentation. your heart was in the right place when you created the tool but....

i have nothing against you or the tool. in theory, it works, just not with ics out of the box. i thought it was odd when i read in another thread how someone used it and your files to root an ics version. which we know isn't possible.

i take responsibility for my actions because each time i do this with a phone, i always know the possible outcome. whether it's been with a winmo phone, an android, or an iphone, i've always known i could brick one. i never have. this was the closest i've came. so. you putting the blame on me and others for not knowing what they're doing is shortsighted. you should have left that sentence out of your post.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] hasoon2000:
I named the kernels with their build number to help out. There isn't really much to do but to remove the kernels completely. That's why I made it that you choose to flash your own so no burden of responsibility is on me (even though it isn't in the first place since I do have a disclaimer)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rwcj63:
i'm very busy today so i have to draw this to an end. remember when you post something that is supposed to help someone, your reputation is always on the line. whether you have a disclaimer or not, if people are bricking their phones with your tool, your rep in the community is going to suffer. plain and simple. food for thought.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] midnightmach:
Thanks for the update! I'll try it out when I get home, I don't think I have proper root yet.

BTW I soft bricked my phone flashing a kernel, I only have myself to blame though. Easy fix, just relocked bootloader and flashed RUU.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] halfevildruid:
Just my 2 cents if it helps, my vivid is out of box ICS. I also used this tool. Very nice in making things fast and easy. HOWEVER there are issues. The kernel issue also soft bricked me the first time. I was also the last time. I fastboot them ever since manually. Dont know if I'll ever try the new ones in the tool, I typically like stock kernels anyway. So far battery life is best with stock vs. other kernels tried.

The tool did not always reboot the phone properly when running commands, I have had to do this manually more times than not. Also debloat and ciq tools for some reason only run without failing file operations after manually booting to recovery. (I am S-ON for now) A few notes letting folks know might help. Debloat did not debloat my phone either way and CIQ removal never worked, I had to move away from the tool to be successful for these.

Everything else seemed to be great and saved me a ton of time the day I brought this home compared to most of the 40+ phones I have experience with! Thanks for that!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] hasoon2000:
Pretty late in responding. I saw that the commands were not linked up properly. I'm gonna fix that. The debloaters were for a different Sense version. That is why I removed them. CIQ worked on my phone. I removed the kernels with the new update.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lilmikey201:
hey im on ICS with darkraider rom and kozmikkernal

i have WCX recovery,how can i switch to clockworkrecoverymod.i dont want to mess things up or brick my device
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] BTJustice:
I am really liking this tool. Thanks for making.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but you do need to correct some wording and either make new direcotories or correct the program to use the correct directories though. Your current text is red and my correction is blue...

Place your own recovery in the /Data/Recovery folder of this program

Make Sure to rename is as Recovery.IMG

That directory doesn't work and your grammar and punctuation is off.

Place your own recovery in the /Data/Recoveries folder of this program.

Make sure to rename it Recovery.img.

Place your own kernel in the /Data/Kernel folder of this program

Name the Kernel as Boot.IMG

That directory doesn't work and your grammar and punctuation is off.

Place your own kernel in the /Data/Kernels folder of this program.

Make sure to rename it Boot.img.

Ok so, I'm pretty sure I did everything right and my bootloader is unlocked and installed cwm but it.seems I cannot get into.recovery idj why ;(
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lilmikey201:
i recently tried to flash a mod and it messed up my vivid so i had to factory recent and everything.but i cant gain root access.im on darkraider rom ics..i relocked bootloader then i try to flash PH39IMG while its locked and it finds and checks it but doesnt run the update.then i unlock it and it runs the update and i intall wCX and install su & superuser but still dont have root access
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lilmikey201:
anyone
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] BTJustice:
I can't remember the exact steps I did, but I went through 1-5 at the top left. Then I did the recovery using the CWM one listed. I then clicked "Boot into Bootloader" and made sure it said UNLOCKED. I then went to recovery and did the factory reset then formatted the cache. I ran SuperSU.zip from the SD Ccard and then installed the ROM from the SD Card.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lilmikey201:
re did everything and it still didnt work
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] BTJustice:
Meaning you were able to get to the boot loader? How far did you get on the phone?

Take the battery out, wait 10 seconds, put it back in, and hold down the VOLUME DOWN and POWER buttons until the boot loader screen pops up. It should take no more than 20 seconds or so. If you see it and it says locked, you cannot do the other steps.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lilmikey201:
I've done everything. It's unlocked got recovery factory reset and cache flashed SuperSU. Flashed Rom and flashed kernel then booted fine. Went back to recovery installed superuser. Rebooted installed busybox and its still not gaining access
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] BTJustice:
So everything worked and the phone booted into the ROM you installed until you installed BusyBox? Why install that? What ROM are you using? All the ones I tried on my Vivid update the kernel during the install. I settled on the Virtuous Inquisition v4.0.2.1 ROM which I am really liking.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lilmikey201:
what? no..everything worked.i was telling u the steps i did..i just cant gain root access..im on darkraider rom using kozmikkernel
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] BTJustice:
That confused me.

Anyway, putting the SuperSU.zip from the data directory of the all-in-one tool to an SD Card and flashing from it in Recovery should have done it.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rsuarez74:
hey guys, (great work)

I was guided in this direction but when I try to use your tool I get stuck on the screen to "get token ID" - it says "waiting for device although my phone is connected to my PC.

Enable USB debugging on your phone.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rsuarez74:
hey thanks a bunch.

so far so good. Enable USB debugging worked. but I completed steps 1 - 5 and flashed recovery (CWM 5.5.0.4) but when I then tried "perm root" it seemed to have worked although I got a message about installing superuser but I was unable to do so. I could not find the "superSU" I guess but at the end I still got the message confirming root but when I tried "root checker" it said I still do not have root access. Please help, I dont know what I did wrong.

Thanks again

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bl@ze:
Hi total noob here... (Well I did root a sgsii, flash and unlock a motorolla droid 2, a root and install custom Rom on a HTC glacier. But the vivid is a whole different thing now isn't it...so I'm back to noob.)

.( I'm not confident enough to do the whole rooting and custom recovery and custom roms as yet)

What I know and want to do;

Phone is unlocked

Phone is stock, gingerbread , no root, bootloader still locked... Basically a virgin....

Questions:

1. I intend to just install the official ruu.exe update . ( not in america, not on at&t thus can't get ota)

..

.Does the phone need to be rooted first (doubt it)?

.Does the bootloader needs to be unlocked ( doubt it as well)?

.Can I use hasoon supertool and remover the bloatware after updating to the official ics ruu?

.Is it recommended that I root first and use rootkeep app to maintain after the update?

2. Sometime down the line, I intend to root using hasoon supertool...

.Can I root with the official ics ruu on.

.Can I just unlock the boot loader before, and by pass it in hasoon supertool...

.Can I just root and keep the offical ics ruu and debloat, instead of install/flashing custom roms and kernels... (Really not looking forward to that part... And if its a must, should I just use the kernel and Rom in the supertool, or are there now better roms).

*note* I am use to cm7 for my glacier, and leaning forward to similar rom... Apparently cm9 for vivid is no where ready/ stable. I know its a matter of personal pereference and a noob question but what stable Rom would work best for me, factoring in the camera and wifi tethering is a big deal for me .

Thanks in advance,

I know that some of my question might not be in the correct place, and have been answered before elsewhere. Just that this is the best phone I have ever owned and I don't want to mess it up, would like it just get every thing correct the first time trying..
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bl@ze:
Edit....

I updated to ics (official ruu) last night.

Does it makes any diffference in terms of rooting now ?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] hasoon2000:
Nope. Unlock your bootloader, flash a recovery, run the root command. All this using my tool.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] android_lover69:
Thanks A Million! Worked Like A Charm With No Problems!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mark72501:
I'll apologize in advance but just a couple of questions...

I am running 4.0.3 710RD (got it somewhere several months ago right before the official OTA was released).

I am unlocked. I am NOT rooted but want to root, first and foremost. So...where in this tool do I need to begin? I'd like to flash WCX's recovery, too, so I can then flash his ROM later.

Like someone else eluded to, the Vivid is a different animal than Samsungs, etc. Quite honestly I'm a little nervous because I soft-bricked it before and ended up spending 2 hours fighting to get it flashed with what I have. I don't want to mess up again.

So, all that to say... detailed step-by-step to result in being rooted and have WCX recovery, please?

Thanks in advance! :D
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
I would first re-lock the bootloader. I would then run the ICS RUU for you carrier to wipe everything clean and have the right hboot. Then you can unlock your device again, flash WCX recovery, and do the perm root option. That should do the trick and you'd be ready to flash any other ROM.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mark72501:
OK, thanks much! I will try this process as soon as I get a free evening!

2) flashed the WCX RECOVERy

3) ran the root.

I am now ROOTED...

THANKS for all the work which led to this tool.

...side note...

I noticed that in ver2.1 there was a debloater tool, but it has been removed from ver2.2

Why, doesn't it work?

It tried it after rooting, all I got is failed. Any ideas?

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mark72501:
Which Recovery?

OK, I realize I could get a mix of answers but...which recovery do you suggest I flash - CWM or WCX? Are there some ROMs that only flash on one and not the other or is it just a matter or the recoveries being different?

Thanks...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] hasoon2000:
They are 2 different recoveries. I believe WCX is a modded version of CWM. You can flash whatever ROM on both recoveries

CWM has been causing big issues. Has been for quite some time. I would recommend WCX. Although, a new version of CWM is in the works and I've heard it's working pretty well. But don't use the CWM from this tool, I've had to help a countless amount of people involving it.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mark72501:
Thank you both. I'll flash WCX to be safe!

Sorry to post again but just verifying before I get in the middle of something and have an issue... if I already have my unlock_code.bin from a previous unlock then I don't have to go through all of the unlocking steps, I can just place it in the /data folder and simply flash it using option 5 in the Tool, correct?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] hasoon2000:
If that unlock code.bin was from the same phone, then you can use it. If not, you have to get a new one.
