This English text was translated with Google since I don't speak English.

Since I bought my Vivid in November I have been looking Root it and customize. This is the first time in my life I had a phone with Android system. Although many hours of reading I finally could Root it but I could not put Custom Roms because I do not understand the language used by the creators of these programs and this is because I have not found a tutorial that explains exactly step by step and without shorten the how. For example I would like to know how to set you up ICS 4.0.3 but, exactly step by step and explaining every detail to someone who would do for the first time. Excuse my ignorance but I'm desperate with the factory Rom that brings AT & T that will not let me do anything.

* I think I have installed everything I need to start, just don't know how to use it. Example; I have installed: Titanium Backup, Superuser, FlashGui, Rom Manager, Root Manager.

Desde que compre mi Vivid en noviembre he estado averiguando como rootearlo y costomizarlo. Es la primera vez en mi vida que he tenido un telefono con sistema androide. Aunque con muchas horas de lectura ya logre como rootearlo, no he podido ponerle Custom Roms debido a que no entiendo el lenguaje que usan los creadores de estos programas y esto se debe a que no he conseguido un tutorial que explique exactamente paso por paso y sin abreviar el como hacerlo. Por ejemplo me gustaria saber como instalarle ICS 4.0.3 pero exactamente paso por paso y explicando cada detalle como para alguien que lo fuera a hacer por primera vez. Disculpen mi ignorancia pero es que estoy desesperado con el Rom que trae de fabrica de At&t que no me permite hacer nada.

* Creo que ya le he instalado todo lo que necesito para comenzar, solo que no se como usarlo. Ejemplo, ya tengo instalado: Titanium Backup, Superuser, FlashGui, Rom Manager, Root Manager.

Okay, so you are attempting to flash a custom rom right ?

If this is true which one ?

-----------------

Queries flash un custom rom verdad?

Si es verdadero qual ?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] sycol65:
I want to flash ICS Rom, but the thing is that I don't really know How or What does Flash r eally means. I would appreciate if you can explain me like I'm a dump :)

My Vivid is already rooted but, as I said I can't go further because don't know how to do it well without messing up my phone.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] GuestK00403:
Are you on the AT&T network ? If not flashing ICS will not work right now.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jazzmoe76:
You should reach out to vhjc. He is a Dev with a nice rom and lives in Mexico, so I assume speaks Spanish. PM him and see if he'll help you out.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] sycol65:
yes!!!

Also is there a way you can explain me like in a messenger so i can receive your tutorial faster?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] sycol65:
Thanks but I want to have my phone in english. Just need the tutorial in spanish or could be in english but in "For dummies" mode :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] vhjc:
ROMs are multilingual, so no matter what language do you want on your phone, the flash process is exactly the same.

So the first thing you need to do is READ the thread of the ROM you want to flash.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] sycol65:
The Rom i want to flash is RUU_HOLIDAY_ICS_35_S_Cingular_US_3.26.502.52_Radio_3.02.4740.14_34.22.701040.19L_release_243350_signed.exe

but I dont realy understand the tutorial
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] citsong:
If you just using the RUU you just plug your phone into your computer, put it in charge mode and click the ruu and that should be pretty much it. Just wait and let it do it's thing.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] sycol65:
I have to make a correction and, sorry about that.

I dont speak or write english very well but, I understand almost every thing.

The only thing I dont understand is when you guys make abreviations of some words or programs names.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] sycol65:
Example of things I dont understand:

Which step do I have to do to flash ICS Rom in the thread [SUPERGUIDE] BOOTLOADER UNLOCK/PERMROOT/CWM/Flash ROM or Kernel/Revert to Stock?

The #3 or #4?

And please imagine Im a donkey that need to know step by step.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] sycol65:
I alreaady found this:

Copy VIVID_ICS_OTA_ROOTED_CWM.zip to your external SD card

From CWM, flash the VIVID_ICS_OTA_ROOTED_CWM.zip

Put the PH39IMG.zip on your SD card, then reboot to fastboot

Re-lock your bootloader with fastboot, then reboot back into HBOOT

Flash the PH39IMG.zip from HBOOT

Remove PH39IMG.zip from SD card (or remove the SD card so that you can enter fastboot)

Enter fastboot again, and re-unlock bootloader

To get CWM re-installed you can either: a) fastboot flash recovery again OR b) Head to my thread and download the update PH39IMG clockwork installer, put that on your external SD, and boot to HBOOT then install it.

Could be that easy?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Hunt3r.j2:
That is the proper direction....
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] sycol65:
But as you see even that it looks easy, it is also short terms.

Could you explain it to me this same tutorial but, step by step?

like:

1) how do I reboot to fastboot?

2) how do I relock my bootloader?

3) how do I reboot in Hboot and how do I flash in Hboot?

4) how do I reunlock again?

Please, please, in Mega Dummies Tread.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] flasozzi:
I'll answer questions 1 and 2.

To go into fastboot in order to relock my bootloader I plug my phone into the computer, then turn it off, remove the battery for a few seconds (20 should do it), then I keep pressing the volume down key on the side of the phone, then press the power button until it turns on, never letting go of the power down key.

Then you're on a white screen with loads of colourful things written, you should have Fastboot already selected, so you should just press the power button again and voila, you're on fastboot.

To relock your bootloader, you must be in this fastboot mode.

You download the adbfastbootrecovery zip to your computer (click here to download it) and extract it somewhere. Open the folder you just extracted and keep pressing the shift key and right click somewhere blank on the folder, and choose "open a command window here".

You'll be on a black page, and then type this on the black page:

fastboot oem lock

and press enter. You should have your bootloader relocked by now.

I just copied the turorial from the SUPERGUIDE thread, so none of this is my credit.

(although i have to agree with you that they write it in a really weird way. they complicate it a bit more than it needs. i mean, it's all pretty explained but for us that aren't native speakers of english i think it's a bit hard.)

After this, you must flash a RUU file.

That ROM of yours seems to be a RUU file, but we can't assure it's gonna work. You should flash the official RUU file, but it depends on the carrier.

Did you buy your Vivid on AT&T?

After flashing the RUU file, I normally unlock the bootloader again, get root access again, and flash the ROM I want (you really should choose a ROM that is here on the forum instead of using Google to find things that you're not sure if are gonna work out...).

I use VJRaider's ROM and it's amazing. I can help you out if you want. If you're interested on flashing a custom rom that is already on the forum, send me a private message and we can talk better.

I really wouldn't flash this file of yours if I were you.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] sycol65:
Hey Man Now you are The Vivid God for me jejeje

and responding to your questions, yes, my phone is from At&t and,

I want to upgrade with ICS also as I see right now Ruu is not the same as Rom, now Im a little bit confused.

Can I flash Rom and kernel from my phome or by PC?

Whats the diference betwen flashing Rom or kernel or Ruu?

And the very first question: could you write this thread that you already did in spanish? Podrias hacerlo en espanol?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] vhjc:
Dude, seriously, if you don't understand any of this, you SHOULD NOT BE TRYING TO DO THIS!!!

We don't want another "Brick Drama" soap opera...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
Please answer this question before you jump into all this. Why exactly do you want root/ICS?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] sycol65:
Because I want a better Rom that the one Att originaly brings, also to use my phone as router or hotspot
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
The ICS rom we have is the att one... Just with some bloat removed.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] creasy425:
It's not a comprehension issue with this person. It's a language barrier issue. If you bothered to read the first post you'd see that.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] vhjc:
I think you should do the same you are asking for :cool:
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] creasy425:
You conviently didn't high lite the parts where he admitted he has issues with English.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] vhjc:
He clearly says that he doesn't speak or write in English but he understand almost everything of it. So it's not a language barrier, it's a comprehension one.

Please read carefully his posts, not only the OP.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] creasy425:
I'm just guessing here, I left my Rosetta stone in my other jeans, but I think he ment he can understand and follow instructions if they are in his native tongue. To me it doesnt make sense that he can't read or speak English, yet he can understand an English tutorial. Either way we're splitting hairs. Ur comment came off as a bit harsh to me, so I reacted in kind. My bad.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] flasozzi:
Guys, I know exactly what this user is going through.

I've been studying English since I was little and lived abroad for a few months and all that stuff but I gotta say, when I first flashed a custom ROM, I really had a hard time and had to do it two or three times until I managed to do it perfectly.

I don't know, the noob-proof topics might be really noob-proof but I'm sorry, it's just probably because English isn't our mother tongue, it makes it harder to understand some things. It's just like reading poetry written in a language that you master but it's not your first one, you understand it but you can't feel it properly. It's hard for you to understand how this works because you are native English speakers, but my mother tongue is Portuguese, quite close to Spanish (mostly we can understand Spanish but Spanish speakers can't understand Portuguese, don't know why), and I know what this guy is going through so please be patient. k?

---------- Post added at 03:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:38 PM ----------

I'm sorry, I don't speak Spanish. I can understand it quite well but would be a mess if I tried to write in it. Also, I believe it goes against the forum rules if we started communicating only in other language instead of English.

Anyways, RUU files aren't the same as a ROM.

Once I screwed up with a ROM and had to use a RUU file in order to fix everything. It's an executable file (you know those .exe files on Windows?) and basically you just plug in your phone and open the RUU file and it'll do everything on its own. The thing is, every carrier has its own RUU so I wouldn't flash a RUU from Rogers, for example. You have to download the AT&T one.

You can only flash RUU files if your bootloader is locked (or relocked). Unlocked bootloaders won't let the RUU file to be installed properly.

I first flash the kernel using my mum's Windows computer and then I install the ROM via CWM Recovery directly on the phone.

But here's the thing: is you bootloader locked or unlocked?

I don't recommend flashing the ICS just yet. Please wait until someone release a custom ROM based on ICS, it shouldn't be long now.

I'll help you flash a ROM based on Gingerbread that'll power up your device and increase battery life, and you'll learn everything you need to know in the process, and only after that you should attempt anything.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] sycol65:
I get tired of wating for a stupid-proof thread so I can understand it. and as you know I think I messed up my phone. Now doesnt boot, it only stays in the htc logo. The last thing I did was open the hasoon all in one tool kit and press "flash a kernel" and I choose "stock vivid kernel"
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] sycol65:
Colaboracion fue nula

To all people who wants to understand that, please use a translator:

Primero que todo agradezco a Flasozzi quien fue el unico en ayudarme realmente. Lo unico que pedi fue un tutorial que fuera lo suficientemente basico como para yo poder entenderlo y sin embargo todo el mundo dio opiniones menos decirme el metodo de como poder instalar ICS en mi htc vivid de at&t con unlock hecho. De todas maneras aagradezo a los que sinceramente defendieron mi idioma. Al fin logre sacar por logica el como hacerlo hasta que lo hize. Como quiera sugiero a los administradores de xda-development el que consideren un foro especial para personas de habla hispana y que porsupuesto las explicaciones de los tutoriales fueran mas basicas o sencillas, pareciadas a los tutoriales que se usan para modificar los iphone.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] discobritanics:
hola, buenas noches, me gustaria instalar una rom que tenga libre el wifi hotspot en vivid de att, alguien seria tan amable de proporcionarme una guia o tutorial completo, desde el inicio... tengo root cwm 5.5.0.4, tenia la rom holiraider v1-2.31.911.2, y esa rom si funcionaba el wifi hotspot, pero regrese a stock 2.3.4 sense 3.0 pero ya no se com o instalar la rom holiraider de nuevo.. o actualizar a ics, ya tengo desbloquee el bootloader, root. ojala me pudieran ayudar.. de antemano mil gracias.... disculpen mi ingles, pero esta escrito por el traductor de google. quiero actualizar ics.... o reinstalar holiraider.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] flasozzi:
Stop posting in Spanish guys, otherwise you'll end up even more frustrated then you already are. Most of all it's against the rules. And then there's the tiny factor that no one here speaks Spanish.

If you want other people to use Google Translator to understand you, then you might as well use it to understand them and even translate your own posts. It's a bit lame but at least it's understandable.

Thank you.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salmanghiyas:
hello all ...

i have a Korean Samsung Galaxy S2 Model SHW-M250K

i just flashed XXKL1 on it .. and now there are no signals .. my phone is just running on FLIGHT MODE .. its not activating my mobile SIM network ..

plz help
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akusokuzan:
do you have an imei number?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salmanghiyas:
yes .. but why ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salmanghiyas:
IMEI - removed
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akusokuzan:
Sorry, remove your imei number from the post... I was asking in case your EFS had corrupted. Maybe I should have been a bit more clear lol.

If you go in About > Status, check if the IMEI shows up.

When you flashed the phone, did it also update your radio? What is the baseband version?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netban:
Edit and delete that emei!! That's for you only ;-)

Sent from the future using xda ultimate edition.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salmanghiyas:
YES IMEI is showing over there

dun know abt Radio ... and are u asking about baseband ver. before or now ?

now it is I9100XXKL1
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooza:
Why dont you try different modems for your country or a custom ROM that has your countries CSC also.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akusokuzan:
And you've tried already to turn off airplane mode? If not, try that and just let me know if it's giving you Emergency Only or just not connecting to the network at all. Were you using it OK before? Downgrade your radio if ever
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheFaixy:
reboot couple of times and if you rebooted while charging then remove charger and reboot
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salmanghiyas:
Thxx all .. Problem was solved .. Jst changed my modem and it was all set .. :)

Hi

Since "recently" (this afternoon, or so), I am no longer able to connect the mobile network / 3G. When I go to settings -> network -> more -> mobile network, I am not even able to find a provider, when I click on search.

I tried switching to airplane mode for a few seconds - didn't help.

I tried rebooting - didn't help.

I tried wiping cache and rebooting - didn't help.

Heck, I even just now flashed a new ROM (AOKP milestone 4; did a factory reset, data/cache wipe) - didn't help.

I had the stock ROM 4.0.2 installed with the stock radio, see http://ge.tt/2JYQ7jE/v/0?c

Now I'm on AOKP 4, see http://ge.tt/2JYQ7jE/v/1?c

Well…

What to do?

Thanks,

Alexander

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sacibali:
Need help

Hi all,

I've got an X10i to fix it. CM7 and Doomkernel had been flashed on it. It works but cannot connect to any mobile network.

I have flashed a generic and a branded rom, but it doesn't work. The phone finds the networks but it can't connect. It writes: 'your sim card does not allow a connection to this network'. I have checked it is debranded.

Could you please help to find out the problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nevrlow:
Try new sim card. If not use a toolkit to flash back to stock
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sacibali:
I have tried both thing but it doesn't help..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alicklee:
Hi I have a nexus one that I had flash for my friend using cm7 ROM. what its doing is when it receives a call the screen goes blank after answering and doesn't want to wake up. Until,the other resin has hang up and its been like 30 seconds after. Is there a fix for this or is,it ROM related? I have tried two different versions of.cm7 and still no dice

Thanks in advance
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
Yes, it is a problem with the rom.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alicklee:
Do you know of anys ROM that doesn't do that? by any chance?

Thanks
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
Yes, the newest CM7 dailies and the eruoskank kangs (specifically what I use and I know they work correctly).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n1newbie:
there are many roms that work perfectly. i hv never ran into the problem that u mentioned( i didnt try cm7 so far)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BigBison420:
DONT DOWNLOAD THIS GAME. IT'S NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE GALAXY NOTE.

bummer... i just got suckered out of 49 cents :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nbaer89:
There is a 15 minutes return period.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dcfella:
I think you have a short time frame to submit a request for a refund.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] netsyd:
Speaking of not compatible... I noticed there's a lot of good games that aren't. Being new to Android for the most part - why is that? Seems like the phone has enough power to run them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Truaim:
Screen resolution plays the biggest factor I believe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SwiftVengeance:
No. Most of the games that "aren't compatible" with the Note would run fine. My Xoom runs these games flawlessly and it has the same resolution on a larger screen and isn't as powerful. The Note is plenty powerful enough and virtually all of those "incompatible" games can be made to work with relatively simple root changes and sideloading. Search around a bit and you can find info on it. N.O.V.A. 2 running on the Note is nothing new....

Good luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dcemtp1:
I've heard that if youchange the build.prop with the international galaxy note like n7000 somehig like thy Cynthiaa think of the top of my head but I heard that would make it "compatible" LOL

Must be rooted, I enter rememebrr the exact instructiimons because I've never need to do it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jay slasher:
I bought this as well. Contacted Gameloft support because the return function didn't refund the app. They gave me a link to download N.O.V.A 2 HD which FC's when you start a new game still trying to get my 49¢ back after a days worth of emails.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] eb8806:
I tried changing the build.prop to show as the international version. It worked and allowed me to download the additional game data. Strangely modern combat 3 worked perfect but games such as 9mm and asphalt 6 didnt work correctly. Asphalt had a strange camera angle where you are shifted to the right so itz unusable and 9mm has a pink color on the start screen. Probably due to the different hardware. I downloaded the adittional data for Modern COmbat 3 and changed the build prop back to the att galaxy note. Atleast i got one "incompatible" game to work :cool:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] id_mew:
This happened to me as well, emailed google 3 times but no reply yet...

I can't even find the game in the market anymore, or in my apps.

please update once anybody gets a refund or get this game to work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DJsCrIBbLe:
It should say incompatible before you actually pay.. I tried it with one of the other games and I clicked buy it started downloading and when it tried to install aborted and said incompatible, and I wasn't charged even though I authorized purchase...

Just side load. Did it with nova off my a500
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] madeSICC:
Is this the same problem I get with nfs and deadspace? I bought them but when started it shows the EA icons and a loading bar comes up but never.progresses. It just sits at about 40%.. Even when left alone for a hour
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JGuinan007:
They actually work!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kimtyson:
Sorry about your 49 cents big guy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jay slasher:
Looks like Modern Combat 3 has the same issue. Gameloft still hasn't responded. Hopefully they update the titles soon.

I've been on XDA a long time. Met some tremendous people here and have learned an incredible amount. A lot of us joined together and did something special (#NeverAgain).

In my time, a lot of things seem to have gone sour with XDA (not the people that use it).

The only downside here is that XDA is a force. Everyone uses it. Because of that, everyone gets treated the way XDA wants to treat you, not necessarily how they SHOULD be treated.

THE ONLY WAY FOR THERE TO BE CHANGE, IS ACTION.

I applaud your move. Yet as you probably know, you cannot boycott or even teach adults into morals and values. If they value fame, money, or prestige over behaving correctly, then nothing can change that now.

They will not understand what you are even talking about. They will only feel threatened and will either lash out or silence you.

Your message does have a chance to get others. What remains to be seen is whether or not then leaders of this forum will be cowardly and silence you by taking down this thread or will they leave it up for a chance at meaningful and productive dialogue so you can get your message out?
