Really don't know that info, however if you want to get root but don't want to wait there are other ways to do it. Let me know if you are interested and I will post them up. Consider though it will take longer than it would using the toolkit.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] playerjunglejosh:
megatronisabeast

I'll try pretty much anything. I've rooted several devices, so findind a new way for another one won't hurt. Only thing that I really would like to do is avoid making a gold card, but if you have to do that I think I will wait for the toolkit. Thanks!! Do you know if it's possible to temp root, flash a kernal with cwm, and then flash a rom?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] megatronisabeast:
Here is what you need to do to root your phone, etc.

First thing is to download android sdk:

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

It will allow you to send files to your phone from your computer-no s-off so can't flash kernel in recovery only fastboot.

While that is downloading if you haven't already you need to unlock boot loader by going to:

http://htcdev.com/

Don't forget to keep the unlock code so if you need to relock your boot loader.

Next, it sounds like you want to flash a custom rom. If so the best one in my opinion is found here:

http://www.wcxxperia-nce.com/index.php

You have to register to see the vivid section.

Once there you will download the zip file, put a copy on your phone, the other copy unzip and place the boot.img and wcx recovery in the same folder that you have the fast boot file that you downloaded earlier from sdk.

Then you put your phone into hboot mode, plug it in to usb port, make sure on phone screen is says fast boot usb in red.

Then open command prompt in your folder with fast boot by clicking shift and the right mouse button.

Type in these commands:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash recovery wcxrecovery.img

After those steps power down phone, unplug from computer, return to hboot, click on recovery, then flash the zip file that you placed on there earlier.

That's it, you got it root and all.

Also if you do use his rom, restart phone 3 times to settle phone in and cycle battery 3 times to make sure everything is working correctly.

You can use wild child's recovery to perm root ics check it site for the video if you need proof
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapdaddy:
We just need S-OFF so we can simplify this entire thing by using CWM. :) It's so much easier being able to flash a scripted .zip package in there than dealing with fast boot.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] playerjunglejosh:
True, I just wish I knew how long "scripting" takes. I know the video is very clear, and that I'm very good with technology, however I do think that there is a good chance I might mess up...thus I believe I will wait, but I will do some more research be4 deciding what to do
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapdaddy:
I've never done it myself but it shouldn't be that difficult. I think I'm just spoiled coming from the Inspire - it was rooted, S-OFF'd, and had a few custom ROMs up the within a couple days of its launch. The level of development for that device was extreme from the very beginning.

Sent from my HTC Vivid
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] playerjunglejosh:
True, I still have an Inspire and the development is still booming. I personally just wish HTC would have made the Vivid as dependable as the Inspire, bc my Vivid has all sorts of problems. Turns off randomly, and each time when it turns back on it says "upgrading android" and then it optimizes the apps for ICS. Most of the time it won't flip my pictures(rotate)<--yes auto rotate is on...but all in all HTC went down in quality with the Vivid. Personally this is why I want to root, that way I don't have to worry with HTC screwing up the update.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jenkem110:
it does work but i have found that busybox isnt installed/installed correctly and have had to install it from the market for titanium backup to recognize my root.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] akafarmer:
A reply to numerous posts...you don't need S-OFF on the Vivid, developers have yet to figure out how to do so. It's rumored some users have received their phones shipped with S-OFF, but to my knowledge it's not because of any modifications.

Follow this thread to accomplish everything Hassons2000 tool is trying to do for the Vivid. I didn't work for me either.

Having S-OFF let's you flash a kernel through recovery. It simplifies the flashing process and makes developing ROM packages easier for the user. :)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krook250:
I have read and read and it has brought me to the point where I need to ask something before I go further.

I am on aokp build 28. I want to upgade to build 30. I know in the instructions it says to flash Stock CWM EL26 kernel, then before phone boots, boot into recovery and wipe then flash ROM then GAPPS.

I have only used odin when i first rooted and to fully restore back to stock root, EL29 I think I used.

I do not know how to just flash a kernel via PDA in odin. I think that means that I go into download mode, connect to Odin, then check the PDA box and browse to the kernel file and click start?

the kernel file has .md5 at the end, I saw another thread where someone said, "remove the .md5 at the end and try again", so I need to do that?

one last Q for the moment, the installation instructions say after you flash kernel, before it boots up, boot into recovery. My question is this, what is I missed that and the phone booted into GB, could you then go into recovery and flash ROM and GAPPS, because that is what happened when I flashed build 28 and I am good, just wondering if I dodged a bullet there??

TIA

Basically what I am asking is how do I use ODIN if I am not using one of sfhubs one click install procedues?

Or can I do the odin-OC EL26, and boot into recovery when the phone starts and flash from there?

I am going to use this one-click to get me back to EL26, then flash from there, sounds good, alright, thanks!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krook250:
well, I am just scarred to move forward.

I was going to do the sfhubs EL26 odin-oc root-restore, but I was watching qbking's video for a quick refresh and made me think...

since I am on aokp build 28, and it says in my phone that I have kernel FC15, is it still going to work for me?

How do you use your phone's NFC for? Is it useless for now?:mad:

Google wallet?

I have read some NEWS about NFC and Google wallet. But seem nothing is really come to.:rolleyes:

If you are using Google wallet, Please indicate city and what type of business.

If you are using other type of payment system please indicate name of payment system, city and merchant.

I will keep the OP updated with the on-going counts of the type of uses.

Thanks for your time.

Pro:

Con:

1. Read somewhere that NFC back actually blocks and interferes with Cel sigbal?

2. Extended batteries and the back covers are not compatible with NFC.

3. Eats up computing cycles and some (may be 1 or 2 %) battery life.

4. Annoying every time I go to change 2/3 g and wifi to see NFC entry there.

Result:

1. Meijer stores take NFC/Google wallet. In MI and I assume everywhere Meijer operate.

2. 7/11 Austin (assumes all 7/11 stores) Not confirmed (Anywhere they accept paypass, wallet should work. McDonalds, home depot, whataburger, cvs, and many more.)

3. McDonalds and Bestbuys. (City unknown).

4. Google Wallet and NFC tags (City unknown).

5.Jamba Juice in Gilroy, CA, and to buy a Coke out of a vending machine in Tulare, CA.

6. NFC feature used in conjuction with mifare card.(City unknown).

7. One former user of paypass seem to have given up on this since it is not as convenient as credit cards.(City unknown).

8. Vending machine in Vegas.

This just doesn't work and everytime I try to search for a operator I get a "error while searching for networks" error and I can not manually select the network. I've noticed this happen on all 2.x MIUI roms with FXP based kernel. With roms based on stock kernel everything works OK. Does anybody have an idea what's the problem here and how to fix it ?

5020T

I've got an Alcatel 5020T which has the same problem, unfortunately I cannot find the stock or AOSP ROM for it, so I am stuck with MIUI. I've messed around with the Engineering Mode settings royally messing those up as well in efforts to reset it. This is a daily phone and I do not have another at my disposal at present so it would be VERY helpful if anyone can help.

I've installed ClockworkMod, and running Miui_Alcatel-OT5020E_4.4.4 with the 4.5.23 update. AT one point it did work at the beginning but I believe since the Engineering mode settings are below rom level they have stuck and are sticking every time I am resetting the ROM to 4.4.4 and 4.5.3 and the original port 4.3.28.

I would like to build AOSP or Cyan for it, but I do not currently have access to a Ubuntu or linux computer to do so.

Asking for one (or more) of the following from anyone:

1) Stock or any other rom for the 5020T (any of the 5020W 5020D 5020E roms should work, or are close enough I'd try them)

2) Default settings for everything in the engineering mode for the 5020 under the "Telephony" tab

3) A guide to somehow magically reset the engineering mode settings to some sort of default which most likely does not exist.

Thank you all in advance for your support, and apologies for being a grave digger.

Just received the skinomi protector.

First impressions:

- Decent packaging, comes with almost everything you need to do the job properly: The protector, squeegee, cloth, instructions, and a bottle of solution that takes up the bulk of the box.

- Quite easy to put on, just make sure your fingers and the protector is coated with the solution that they provided.

- Will take sometime to get used to as the screen has this rubbery feel, but it also feels quite tough.

- Despite the ease of application, some small bubbles, streaks, and a bit of the liquid remains stuck even after I used the squeegee provided. The instructions on the box noted that they'll go away after a few days. Will keep an eye on my screen and let you guys know what happens and if it's worth getting this.

I was a bit dubious about the screen protectors as they didnt have a cut out for the proximity sensor. But I just put one on & it fits & works nicely, no issues re proximity sensor.

Also this screen protector has a

nice slippy glassy feel

to it.

Couldnt find out the brand, but here's a screenshot of the logo

Cleaned the screen.

I peeled off the 1st backing, gave it a good spray with water with a tiny bit of washing up liquid in it. Applied it to the screen. Squeezed out the water & air bubbles with an empty rizzla packet. Left it to dry. Job done.
