My toolkit has been updated with this new recovery.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] UnicornKaz:
Just curious... as I don't own the AT&T version.

where about is that recovery flash-able AT&T ICS file shown on the video ??

all I see available are the RUU and the Velocity version..etc

BTW... I have the Rogers version but SIM unlocked it to use with Bell ( and other carriers ).... for future reference... I can only flash Rogers released version...correct ??

Or when DEV released a universal version... then all bets are off ?? LOL

Thanks :)

Here you go. Several versions available. You have to sign up to see the vivid forum. This is wild child's site. Just follow all directions and you won't be disappointed.

You don't want to use the ruu to flash the att ics if you are on rogers. It would change the radio and you wouldn't be able to use your phone.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] UnicornKaz:
There's no love there for us Bell & Rogers owners ? :(

I thought ... by SIM unlocked + Bootloader unlocked & rooted roms & everything... I now have a world phone that can adapt to the spec Freq. , that I can take anywhere ?...etc. ( provided that the country uses one of the compatible freq. )

how does this radio part of thing come into play ?

I've been able to use my past devices flashing different radios on them and have used them oversea successfully 3G+ ...etc

actually... AT&T freq. bands are compatible with BELL & ROGERS up here in north.... it's T-Mobile that uses the incompatible freq.

:confused: :confused:
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Wild Child:
There is no changing radios on these phones,only boot.img,recovery.img and a rom....no s-off no radios flashing
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] UnicornKaz:
my original Nexus One can flash custom radios with S-ON intact. why is that so ?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] HackitZ:
Well I can tell you the raider/vivid is not able to flash radios with S-0n. if we could i would have ICS already.

You may find the answer as to why you can flash the radio with S-on in the nexus One thread. ;)

Just a thought.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] GSLEON3:
Ahh...Technically not true. The RUU & PH39IMG files have.....New Hboot & radios in them as well as SBL files. So, as long as the signaturre is correct, you can flash radios. You just can't use CWM to flash radios, but why would you want to anyway? There are not many compatible LTE radios out there yet, so it is pointless.

As for the NEXUS One...It is a Nexus line & is you are flashing radios from anything other than OEM PHxxIM.zip or RUU, then the radio secu_flags most certainly are off, regardless of S-Off Hboot status.

But whomever started the "you can't flash radios on S-On devices" was misinterpreted or misunderstood. With correct signature & byte typing you can flash modem, misc, hboot, sbl, & radio files. Just nobody has packaged all the tools & written the scripts that are needed to make it feasible & simple enough for average users.

Getting the phone to say S-Off is just a matter of two bytes in the image, however, to truly be S-Off (Even many S-Off devices are not truly S-Off in the strict sense) you need the radio, hboot/spl & kernel to all agree.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Marshmellow92:
do we have to be locked to do the ics ruu update?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] megatronisabeast:
Yes you do! Also return to stock as well to make sure everything goes smoothly.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] :
The average user cannot flash a radio with s-on....is that better??:p
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jmone:
I had no issues with "fastboot.exe flash radio radio.img" where I pulled the radio from the "OTA_HOLIDAY_ICS_35_S_Telstra_WWE_3.25.841.4-2.27.841.6_release_246841orcrrx41z400ii83.ZIP" so I could get the lastest radio for my Velocity & I'm a pretty "average" user. If you can flash the Boot.Img, then the Radio is no harder.....That said,

I appreciate that at this stage cross flashing to a radio from another sub-device (eg Vivid etc) is not as easy but I it would be great if we had a traditional [RADIO] Thread that at least lists what radios are out and about as I'd like to roll mine back to the initial one in the GB release (it seemed better to me but.....who knows I just want to check).

Thanks

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] shughes:
Wow. What an improvement.

I got around to installing WildChilds ROM today. For some reason I had to flash several times. The Phone was rebooting itself before the zip installed completely. But it eventually installed and I love the phone now. Blazing fast and super clean. I have not had any issues so far. I see a donation in my future. Great work!

can anyone else confirm this? couldn't flash either gb radio or ics radio (which im on now) just says failed, tried with locked, and relocked bootloader
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] :
Cannot confirm this one,but can tell you it will not let you downgrade the radio more than likely as i know what your trying to do...lol
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lebmb:
lol well it didn't even take the current ics radio

so i'm sure there is something else missing, i even have my main version set very low, it has to be the hboot im pretty sure
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] shughes:
I would say that the radio based only on display is the only weakness. I show less bars than on my wife's Inspire. However I have.tested the phone in weak coverage areas and have not dropped any calls. But I show 2 bars where.my wife's phone shows 4 to 5. Could just be the -db interpretation.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jmone:
FYI - I have for the Velocity the following Radio's

•GB Radio Version: 3.01.4720.09

•ICS Radio Version: 3.02.4740.09

...but I did not get far trying to flash back to the GB version, I just got a "Signature Verify Fail".

I too see "lower" bars than I used to but I'm of the same opinion that it just may be a display thing as I does not seem to drop calls etc.

Don't mean to sound like super-noob BUT I had unlocked, rooted and removed bloatware from my Vivid on New Year's eve using Slapshot30's Superguide. I haven't installed any custom ROMs... still running stock.

Do I need to reflash the stock ROM to revert to 'factory-fresh' before doing the OTA update or just relock the bootloader?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] :
Because you have removed things, i would suggest relocking and just running the ruu instead of the ota

Oh for the love of all that is electronic and drool-worthy I hope so. Please, someone. If it was genetically possible, I'd have your babies.

Edit: Apparently, they could very well be working on the Vivid too. It says in Globatron's signature that one of the devices they're working with is the Vivid.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Mad Medik:
They are working on it for the Holiday as well. They had testers try it yesterday. The testers were allowed to tell people it worked and some posted screen shots with S-Off in the HTC Amaze thread. I'm hoping the lack of posts in the Holiday thread doesn't mean it failed...

Here's the link to the thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1576668

Edit: For those that don't know, the Holiday is HTCs name for our device. It has been rebranded for sale: AT&T calls it the Vivid, Rogers & Bell call it the Raider (as does a carrier in Korea) . I think the Velocity is in there too but not 100% sure.

Sent from the Matrix
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] GSLEON3:
S-Off is a work in progress & will make it's way to the Holiday. Most of you don't need it, but I imagine want it out of convenience.

The S-Off effort is something that is going to be applicable to all 8660 devices, including the Holiday.

Do not expect to see a lot about it or any leaks, as releasing the exploit when so many devices are so close to update to ICS could be a really bad thing for those that truly use s-off to do NV/low level firmware modifications & studies. Just be patient.

ive got the latest recovery wcx is there a reason i cant make backups in recovery i get some sort of error it says i cant make a backup
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] :
Where are you trying to back up to? Which backup option are you attempting,you wont be able to back up proprietary system i dont think as thats for google only....unsure on this one. And the options that are marked back up fine...

Edit it was the sd card .. i got it working now sorry for being ignorant lol

it says oops something went wrong check recovery log when i go to check recovery long it says the same error. hate to be such a newb i dont have a sd card in the phone i was using internal sd could that be the problem ?

Yup probably was the issue
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ryane67:
Thanks so much for this, I ran into some trouble when following the directions in the zip when I was updating my HBOOT (boot looped a few times oops!), but I re-locked and that allowed everything to update properly. The video is very helpful to show us exactly what we should be looking for as we go through this new update.

Ok so I want to return my phone back to stock and use the OTA update from AT&T so I can give this phone to my girlfriend. Im a little confused on the placement of what files I need in order to return the phone back to GB.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ccb101:
Why not just give her stock ics? Just relock your bootloader and run the ruu from HTC or att and you'll have the stock ics from att
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] shackman716:
I got it figured out but honestly this phone has me mindfucked... My inspire was beyond easy to root/flash whatever... With all the warnings being written about phones bricking by doing the OTA update had me worried
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Dl123:
Useful tip

I have a very useful tip that i learned the hard way, never update the hboot and then try using the official htc ics update, i did that and bricked my phone because the update process got stuck like on 34% of the ruu ICS update, had to go to att to get a replacement.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] shackman716:
That's exactly what I was worried about, so I found the PH39 file and put it totally back to stock GB then did OTA ICS update, worked flawlessly
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] akafarmer:
My phone (HTC Vivid) came shipped with ICS. I am now running WCX Illuminati Series recovery by GINM on a pre-rooted, stock At&t ICS ROM created by Jirv311. Do I still need to re-lock the boot loader? Is there an easier way for me to UN-root my device because I already had stock ICS and simply flashed an already rooted version of the same At&t Stock ICS Rom? Any details would be greatly appreciated.

UPDATE:

I took a risk and all is good!!!

For those of you whom already had AT&T ICS Stock when you purchased and are using WCX recovery, the following link will take you to the actual RUU download provided by HTC.

http://dl3.htc.com/application/htc_vivid_att_RUU_3.26.502.56_US.exe

**Be advised** I had stock rom, stock kernel, stock everything. I was simply rooted with HBOOT RE-locked, oh and S-OFF as well. I doubt S-ON would matter, but I would recommend you relock your HBOOT before you attempt to revert to an UN-rooted Stock AT&T ROM of ICS for the HTC Vivid. The download does not require flashing, simply follow the on screen instructions using your PC with phone connected by USB. Again, the on screen instructions will tell you exactly what to do and when to do it. Easy Schneazy
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rsuarez74:
hey guys,

thanks for the post and the info. I am hoping I can get some help. I recently upgraded to a new ATT - HTC Vivid. I guess I was impatient in wanting to root and flash ROM so I used the [TOOL] HTC Vivid All-In-One Toolkit V2.2 to "un-lock bootloader" and get root. Afterwards I realized the phone had/has old software/rom (no ICS beats audio etc) - I tried updating the software manually and it would not take - kept getting error messege. Then I got notification that ATT/HTC was trying to "push" the update to my phone but when I tried to install the update it would not work. I keep getting what looks like a dead android with chest open with red exclamation point. I tried a few times and still nothing. so after some research I came across this thread. I am still a "noob" at this I guess so I could really use some help, please. I believe I have to "re-lock bootlaoder" but I am confused as to how to go about this. for example, how do you, "TRY FLASHING THE WCXRECOVERY.IMG USING FASTBOOT FIRST?" - please help! lol like I said - I'm still a noob I guess :)

I tried the video but it only further confused me
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rsuarez74:
please help!!!! I really need it. I tried using your tutorial to re-lock my Vivid and update ROM to ICS. I got through the first part where I re-locked the phone ut when I got to the part to "unlock" again before flashing recovery I get the "Unlock bootloader" screen and I use volume button to select yes and hit power button but that's it - it's stuck at that scree and will not go further. now my phone won't start normally if I try etc and I even got a red exclamation etc - Please help, I dont know what I did wrong but now I have no phone!!!!!

Thanks a bunch for any and all help
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] 2rz_taco_sr5:
Hey guys i have a question. i have a one s but my buddy has a vivid and needs my help. i rooted him a while back because he asked me too and he has cwm recovery installed but has his stock G.B. at&t rom, stock kernal etc basically it is htc unlocked then rooted nothing custom added.

can i just put the stock recovery back on run oem lock and let him run the OTA? do i need to run the RUU if he never changed his rom in the first place? only reason for doing this is so he doesnt have to set his phone all back up again since hes not a power user like us and he would like to avoid it. regardless we will back everything up incase but it will make things alot easier if he can just run the OTA and keep his data. he doesnt care to be rooted anymore and when we did root it last time he was all bummed he had to set everything back up agian LOL

this is assuming OEM LOCK doesnt wipe data???

thanks in advance for any help i know this thread is kinda dead but i really appreciate any help.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ZeRo2o9:
yes you oem lock and run the RUU it would flash stock recovery anyway. and oem lock doesnt wipe data but the RUU does. But the OTA would need everything stock and no stock apps removed so make sure you didnt remove any stock apps when you rooted, flash back stock recovery, oem lock and OTA
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] 2rz_taco_sr5:
thanks for the reply. good info for anyone in my same situation. so that day i posted i wasnt sure if he had removed any apps or not so to be safe we just saved everything we could and after i oem locked it i flashed the RUU that matched the android version he was already on (wasnt sure if i could flash a newer version or not??) then he said he had like 3 OTAs and he obviously had to set everything back up again and download all his apps manually since he didn't want to be rooted any more lol but alls good now. better safe than sorry!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] sketchscarz:
There is a couple ways you can do this. Boot into recovery by using vol down and power when phone is off. Hard reset and wipe everything.

if youhave adb you can do it like this adb reboot bootloader then use the volume keys to select hard reset power as select.

If a hard wipe doesnt work then try to reflash the Config.dat and the ALL IN ONE TOOL to relock bootloader.

IF YOU CAN SEE THE PHONE WITH adb devices code, then your phone is fixable

If you follow the all in one tool it should lock it back up.

what recovery are you on and why were you trying to unlock bootloader?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] polarbearmc:

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
What ROM are you using? I've had that happen to me twice now. The buttons light up, I can hear screen noises, but a black screen. I pull the battery and reboot, everything is fine. I'm using DS_MOD.1.55.531.3, rooted and S-OFF.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] polarbearmc:
not rooted, just stock. but the way you described it is exactly what happens. buttons light up, things can happen (you can hear it) but totally black screen.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
Are you on the 1.55.531.3 Stock ROM? That's what I'm running, just rooted.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] polarbearmc:
yep. i figured i'd wait as long as i can before i decide to root (really don't have any reason to... i've always rooted my devices, my G1 and G2... just don't really have a need to yet with this phone)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
I'm running Rubix v5.3 ICS Splashed, and the same exact thing happened to me tonight, weird...

Pulled the phone out of my pocket and screen was black. You could hear lock sounds and keys light up but the screen stayed black.

Pulled the battery and all is well again. This can't be a coincidence, can it?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yellowjacket1981:
This has happened to me periodically both on stock and on bulletproof, I never really gave it much thought though, because it was easily fixed by a reboot.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] polarbearmc:
i'll probably just end up forgetting about it soon enough, but it's just annoying that our phone should have an issue like that. if i had money to switch phones whenever i want i'd already have left it because of this issue, you know what i mean?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
Happening twice in the six months I've had it is not a big enough issue for me to want to switch phones.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] RedHazy:
It's been progressively getting worse, now I get just a black screen nothing coming up after multiple charges and battery pulls... praying it's not the screen and just a battery problem!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Indirect:
If it's fixed by a battery pull at first then it's most likely just a battery issue.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] RedHazy:
No luck after battery pull, you think it's screen then or flex cable? The screen worked like 8 hours ago with minor black-outs one or twice a day to more frequently and random reboots like 6-8 just today!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Indirect:
Flex cable could cause flickering. You're really quite SOL with it then. :(
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] RedHazy:
Would you suggest I get it repaired or something similar?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Indirect:
Yeah, you may need to get it repaired. :|

Bad: I dropped my Focus and the screen won't turn on. The rest of it works (rings, plays reminders, etc)

Good: I had a warranty and they'll replace it.

Not so good: WindowsPhone.com remote wipe wouldn't wipe it. It's still playing reminders for meetings I have.

Any thoughts on how I can wipe this without the screen being on? I have a lot of sensitive info on it. :(

Do a hard reset: power down phone, then hold Volume down + camera + power for about 2s and then press "win" button twice. See my sig for the wiki as well.

1)How can I update my atrix 4g ( now Android 2.2.2 and unlocked bootloader) to latest version?

2)Can I use over air update just from settings to update or not?
