I'm loving this update. I am eagerly awaiting to see what the development are going to cook up now as far as ROMS and Kernels.

Sorry for the double post. Showed my post first. :-\
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] || Acer ||:
Alright I guess that makes sense. I feel like it would piss off a lot of people though that aren't aware about it, or does it notify you about it before hand? I'm just curious because I know on my own when I was on froyo and updated to gingerbread, it didn't wipe anything for me.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] woodsytattooman:
Every time Ive updated its wiped the phone,My aria,inspire,and now the Vivid.But yes it tells you to back up apps,contacts etc.I done the update last week and didn't really need to back up anything because all my pics etc are on my sd card.Only thing you really need to worry about is anything saved to the internal storage you might want saved.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] a40dayflud818:
Same here. But I admit, I'm a horrible flash-o-holic. I keep TB and nandroids on all the time. But I can understand how it can be a pretty uncomfortable thing to have to rebuild and recustomize everything back.

I wouldn't worry TOO much on your internal storage. But I agree with woods, it won't hurt at all to cruise around in there and backup anything you would hate to see list forever.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slimslim:
The ota pushed (through dialing #*#*862*#*#) didn't wipe anything, all the apps and the settings are there, contacts and sms, emails too.

Same thing happened when I got ota to gb from froyo on my atrix, everything stayed the same, no wipe.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] woodsytattooman:
That may be but its always better to do a clean install instead of doing this user friendly OTA upgrade.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] chall80:
The reason that the RUU wipes everything, is that it is a manufacturers update. You may not technically NEED to wipe everything, but when going from one OS to another, there are proprietary changes and differences that interface with apps and other things differently behind the scenes...its not like flashing a rom...its a true OS update...

When i upgraded my inspire to GB from Froyo using the OTA push, i didn't have to do a factory reset, but it sure was a hell of a lot faster after i did one...

Performance

Hey guys,

Jason with Anandtech, I'm curious if someone that got the update has run any benchmarks and can post some caps (a process made all the more easy thanks to this being the ICS update). Exciting times, hopefully AT&T is moving up their time table for updates.

Jason
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] verseman:
Just curious is this code did working? I've tried dialing it in a number of times and it disappears after entering the last character, but nothing happens after that.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] samsat:
It did work yesterday for a while. I even successfully downloaded and installed however it turned out to be the standard version I already had on the phone and not ICS.

The code now seems to have been deactivated.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ppcboyz:
I tried earlier today also, with no luck. I was planning to install the ICS from PG, sorry to see it go.. Gotta figure something out.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slimslim:
After a full day of use, no restart, quadrant:

(I know after a fresh restart and run the test couple times, the scores are better)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] flasozzi:
I've downloaded the RUU file and am going to flash it in a moment. Have a bit of experience with RUUs myself, while I was still learning to flash custom ROMs had to use the GB RUU a lot to get myself out of some random mistakes I made - lol.

The phone is rootable whatever version of OS I'm on, right?

Sounds like a good oportunity to test VividTools for Mac :)

Keep up with the good work, guys. I'm always amazed by how hard you work.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] flasozzi:
Can't manage to root on ICS (installed using RUU file).

I'd normally use that RUNME.bat thing but isn't working.

Anyone managed that already?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dstech:
Use pirateghost's Clockwork flashable file, it has root built in to it.

I couldn't get the code to work either yesterday even after returning to stock. I used pirateghost's instructions for the Telestra release using the AT&T ICS files he released, which included root, and it worked perfectly!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] flasozzi:
Oh yeah, I managed to root stock ICS, but thanks for the tip :) will do in case I ever need to flash it again and get too lazy to figure everything out again.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] altere123:
Just to follow up, I had done the dialer trick to force the OTA upgrade, which didn't wipe my phone. Once I did a complete wipe, mobile data seemed more stable. I haven't really had any data issues since.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] tmbg47:
Anyone find a way to get around this? I still get "Android is upgrading... optimizing applications" at every boot. I'd call it a minor nuisance, but a nuisance still.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] WirelessMike:
Same here. I get it every time I reboot.

Like you, I consider it only a minor nuisance as I typically almost never reboot, but it is a persistent annoyance, nonetheless!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] counterfeit187:
so people are sticking with the "Optimizing applications" on boot as a normal ICS function? Doesn't happen on my own phone with ICS CM9. My girlfriend just got the vivid and it seems that they need to put out a patch or update or something so that the phone doesn't wipe dalvik on every boot. Even with fastboot enabled rebooting the phone still brings the "optimizing applications" up before she can actually use the phone. Have there been any mentions of another update or any fix (not just checking fastboot) for this?

Oh yeah, and I'm not allowed to root her phone or anything until her warranty expires in a year ;)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] anthromatt:
It doesn't happen on any ROM that has been de-odex'ed (hence the absence of it on CM9).
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] sp3c_0ps_o7:
ics question with stock rom

Is the ability to maintain root through ics update or will we have to have a preroot flash.

---------- Post added at 10:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:00 PM ----------

I didn't notice this till after my post. Apparently using the dev to root my vivid wouldn't allow my root to take once upgraded but I flashed a pre rooted gb and it updated and maintained root however my phone boots up and trys to optimize applications every time and emoji will take but I bricked and had to reflash using font changer app
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jazzmoe76:
This is exciting!! I'm currently on a weekend getaway and I find myself glued to XDA. I have a problem...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jaxellis:
Downloading now :) 1/3 done already... So can i flash this with WC's touch recovery?

also do you flash the boot.img then go into recovery and flash the zip?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] naturalb0rnkiwi:
Thank u downloading now
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] naturalb0rnkiwi:
Bahaha, jazz I'm in the same boat!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] haloXgod117:
Downloaded. In the firmware.zip file, there is a boot.img file.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] come at me bro:
I'm on holiraider should I restore to stock
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
All I want is a ROM with all traces of ATT removed, and it to be rooted. Then I'll be happy.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] nielp96:
What sense 3.6 or 4.0
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] vhjc:
Well at first sight this can be flashed only on devices that have AT&T 2.3.4 stock ROM.

And it has Sense 3.5
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dusty2422:
Anyone got this running yet?

I assume this is the RUU so to install we just need to re-lock the bootloader in fastboot and then once that is done, save this file to the SD card with a name of PH39IMG.zip and reboot into fastboot and it will detect the file and automatically install?

I'm downloading now or else I would try it myself.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] BrandonBaskin:
You're right on both counts.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] BrandonBaskin:
No, this isn't a RUU. You have to have stock Vivid [Cingular_US] ROM. I used Wild Child's Touch Recovery and it seems to be working so far.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
firmware.zip can be pulled out, stuck on sdcard and renamed to PH39IMG.zip and it will flash the new boot.img, hboot, recovery, sbl's and radio

radio version = 1.11.1020.03_30.77.55.1061.02L

kernel = 2.6.35-g1db6775

i have them running right now with RumRaider B12

working on packaging up the actual rom into a rooted flashable zip file.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dusty2422:
I'll wait for your rom PirateGhost... I trust you a whole lot more than I trust myself with this stuff! :-)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] BrandonBaskin:
lol amen to that
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
DAMN YOU AT&T/HTC, Y U NO SENSE 4.0 !?

EDIT: On second thought though, I am absolutely amazed at how early AT&T got this OTA out. They kept their promise of Q1 2012. Pretty good for a company that is notorious for not keeping their word on those.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] tennockey:
True dat! I'm sure this will be awesome, and some time in the future someone will probably cook us up something with sense 4.0. I consider this a transition : )
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] :
Working on this as well...:):cool::eek:
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cougmeister:
I am on a stock unrooted vivid on at&t. How would I go about applying the update?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] BrandonBaskin:
1. DL the files extract the "firmware.zip" rename it to "PH39IMG.zip"

2. Move it to the root directory of your SD

3. Boot into HBOOT, then follow the onscreen directions.

Thank PirateGhost for that method.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mug318ca:
There u go.

It appears I was a bit late.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dusty2422:
Go to Settings - AT&T Software Update - Check for Updates. If it finds the update then just follow the steps there. If it doesn't find the update then you'll need to keep checking back until it comes through... or take the leap and unlock and root your phone and then either install PirateGhost or WildChild's upcoming roms.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cougmeister:
thanks! One more thing, how do I boot into hboot?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] come at me bro:
i dont think this is working for me then i went to install and got errored
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mug318ca:
Screen shots of software version on their upgraded phone?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
you have to relock your bootloader, then unlock again afterwards.

warning, after flashing the firmware zip i can no longer use the STOCK RUU or the original PH39IMG to go back to att stock gingerbread...

you have been warned. you may find yourself a phone stuck in hboot or in never ending bootloop

the error message on running stock RUU says:

bootloader version fail
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] tennockey:
Does this mean that everything works fine? but you just can't get back to gingerbread? If thats the case I wouldn't mind trying it out myself.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
actually it means that if the flash doesnt go as planned, there really isnt a way to restore stock.....without some real work
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] tennockey:
thanks for the heads up PG. As much as it pains me, i'll wait it out. lol. Thanks for your hard work again, very much appreciated.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] BrandonBaskin:
That's not good at all. I guess it permanently changes the firmware. Any luck on rooting?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
im working on it ;)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] thecubed:
So, it looks like this could be patched to not upgrade MAINVER, thus allowing users to flash back and forth between this and the original shipping version...

Please, everyone, hold off on installing this update until all devs are in agreement for the proper way to proceed!

Devs, hop on IRC plz :)

#htc-holiday on freenode
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cougmeister:
@pirateghost & @thecubed

If i am on an non-rooted, locked vivid, am i able to flash this through hboot like mentioned earlier, or will i risk bootlooping or bricking my phone?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] randong:
can anyone post some screen shots? plz :rolleyes:
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] tennockey:
Nobody has it up and running yet I believe. Following it on IRC to see whats up, and I'm sure they will reply to us when they get to something we can use. :D
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] thecubed:
We're working on two things:

1) A rooted CWM backup of this OTA

This would allow anyone to jump right in without worrying about OTA or locking their phone to apply the update. This would also keep people from updating their mainver and making it impossible to PC36IMG back to stock should the need arise.

2) I'm going to work real quickly on a rooted update.zip version of this

This would allow you to flash via CWM properly, and would keep your root and whatever you have installed. This would only work on a stock rom (non-deodexed, etc)

Also, apparently this is ICS.

My mind is blown.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
just a taste
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
Would the code in it be applicable/support CM9 development?

Hm, Sense 3.5 but new-looking launcher. I'm presuming this is the "Sense 3.5.1" discussed in the incomplete leak on the dev board?

EDIT: *facepalm* Didn't notice it says Sense 3.6.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] randong:
hells yea thanks pg....

no sense 4 :(
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mobb315:
Um it says 3.6 in the screenshot

sent from wcx "bugatti" Rom...yea that fast 3-3-12
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] JayBuck:
First off this is the most amazing thing ever...thanks to all devs working to get this rolling for us.

Second, I am using Holicakes_V1.6..I'm assuming I can just follow the sticky to revert myself back to stock to be prepared to apply this update when you amazing devs get a working process? The highlighted line confused me a little and I just wanted to clarify if this would work for me.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] homeslice976:
If all you did was unlocked, flashed custom recovery, and flashed the root .zip, you'd still be on a stock, odexed rom. If you went ahead and flashed a custom kernel/ROM at this point, you'd be using a deodexed ROM that the update.zip wouldn't work for, and you'd have to wait for the first thing he's working on.

Wish my Vivid would have got here today...now I have to wait til Monday and watch this grow all day tomorrow without getting to participate :(
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] thecubed:
Another update:

We're testing to see if this works with the stock 1.83 HBOOT and shipping radio.

If it does, we should have a CWM ROM by way of CWM backup here shortly.

If it doesn't... I need to see if we can possibly make it work by swapping out files from our GB roms into the ICS OTA.

Here's my worry:

If you PC36IMG back to stock, re-lock your phone, then install the OTA, then unlock your phone and re-install CWM-- at a later date, you may install a custom ROM, then your boot.img/system.img wouldn't be signed anymore.

If you wanted to re-lock your phone to apply another OTA, you'd be SOL, since you wouldn't have a complete ROM to fall back onto.

It may turn out that we _need_ the new HBOOT to get this to work at all...

If that happens, then we need a few things to happen first:

Either we need a RUU with this OTA in it, so we have a fallback plan

or...

We need to make sure we get a non-rooted stock CWM backup of this out in the public before people start rooting and modifying it, so that we can restore that before relocking at a later date.

Hopefully this makes sense, and conveys exactly what we're working on over here...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] come at me bro:
I relocked, ran the firmware got fuccked reunlock and then flashed the att boot img and restored from recovery

is this supposed to a update.zip type file?

anyway its saturday night i need my phone so i give up
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] thecubed:
Stop. Don't mess with this until all the devs are in agreement.

If you end up messing up your phone, or getting yourself into a situation where you can never apply any more OTAs or restore to stock, I will be unable to help.

Please wait!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] come at me bro:
you guys are already cooking something up??
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jaxellis:
Go here http://webchat.freenode.net/

And for the channel use #htc-holiday

Then you can follow what they are doing:)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
yeah. i already have a cwm flashable thats rooted. waiting on the testers on irc to verify everything first

WE ARE NOT SURE WHAT EXACTLY IS REQUIRED FOR IT TO WORK....just hang tight. once we have confirmations the link will be released here

building another right now thats deodexed and zipaligned
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Kraizk:
Question which may have no place here, if it does not please feel free to delete this comment or instruct me to do so. If a new HBOOT is given through the update, could it potentially change our changes of getting S-OFF or are these things unrelated?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] come at me bro:
Well I flashed the new firmware as I told u in the PMS if you wanna test the 1.83 vs the 1.85 which I have I'm available
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Brand New:
This is awesome, I just ordered my Vivid from At&t about an hour ago and just saw this thread! :) Woo hoo can't wait for Monday!!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] randong:
once again youll be one of the first to be pushin roms thanks....
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] NIKKG:
I'm from the Detroit area and on AT&T, I relocked my phone and installed stock in hoping to be able to update to ICS via OTA and it said no update is available. I wonder why I can't get it.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] zombie.raised:
even when it is released officially it takes weeks for it to roll out fully. So its not strange and the fact that you were unlocked and using custom rom I guess you really don;t want to get stock OTA any ways so I guess just give dev some time and we shall have a custom roM.:)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jayv81:
@ pg, am I missing something. The pic you posted earlier shows sense 3.6 but build prop has 3.5
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] gtkansan:
Wow so excited.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
dunno....i will get some more screenies here in a few. im debloating

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kozmikkick:
So looks like they finally give us the true 1.5 GHz kernal for att that we should have gotten in the first place.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] BrandonBaskin:
Hey PG, do you think it's impossible for me to revert to original stock since I flashed this already?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
nope.

unless you just want to do stock cwm zip
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] acedj123:
Can someone please give complete instructions on how to apply this update to a completely stock Vivid with a locked bootloader? I don't care about root and don't need to wait for a rooted / custom version. Also, will this version wipe the phone with a fresh install? Or is it a true upgrade?

Thanks
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] come at me bro:
hold up a bit
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
if something goes wrong, you will NOT be able to use the STOCK RUU.....it is unsafe at this time.

if you dont care, then so be it
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] gtkansan:
We all appreciate you working on this PG
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] acedj123:
Fair enough PG... I'll hold off for now since there are no good instructions on how to apply the update anyway. I guess my real concern was that there was plenty of attention given to getting this thing rooted and a RUU compiled to make this happen... And I just didn't want to get left behind given that I'm completely stock and have no desire to wipe / unlock and root.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] zombie.raised:
If you are not unlocked and wish to stay on stock I guess you may be better off waiting for the you getting the OTA update.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] natethegreat12345:
my impatience overcame my better sense of judgement.

needless to say i tried updating via PH39IMG.zip on sd way on my stock/unrooted vivid and it seemed to go smoothly. it restarted, htc logo popped up, then got stuck on a black screen. took the battery out and popped it back in, now it doesn't even turn on. no hboot, no response to power key +vol down, light indicator doesn't even show up when connected to a charger.

oh well... luckily its within its 30 days so ill be taking a trip down to the store tomorrow for an exchange.

best to wait for the OTA notification or the dev's go ahead :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] come at me bro:
Fastboot the att boot IMG and restore from cwm
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] zombie.raised:
Hmm...good you are under 30 days I hope you get phone replaced. This was probably what pg warned about ..if you read the post....
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] come at me bro:
If your not rooted get to it asap its very easy and you can flash a Rom but you have to flash the boot IMG

Do you think that Bell Raider owners will be ok to use this cwm or should I wait... I'm biting my fingernails in anticipation... lol

Also is this an acceptable way to revert back for ota updates from bell?

"FIRST OPTION (RUU)

- Pick the RUU for your specific device. For example, the one for AT&T has the word "Cingular" in it, the one for Rogers says "Rogers" in it.

- You will find the RUU's here http://www.filefactory.com/f/002b74e0f4775869/ (THANKS to user football)

- Once you download the correct RUU, make sure your phone is plugged in via USB to your computer and you have the correct drivers (or just HTC Sync) installed on your computer

- Run the executable and follow the steps to flash the stock ROM

- Once the ROM loads, you should be good to go

- If you returned to stock because of a bug or issue, and want to root again, make sure to go back and follow the steps PRECISELY to perm root, flash CWM, flash a ROM, flash a kernel, etc. Remember, flash ROM IMMEDIATELY after flashing the kernel"
