Can you run fastboot commands? If you can, try fastboot oem rebootRUU , get the rom.zip from an RUU of your choice (assuming youre soff, otherwise use your carrier own RUU), put tue zip jn your fastboot dorectory, then use fastboot flash zip rom.zip (im not sure with this last command, please someone confirm)

No.....in qualcomm dl mode......fastboot will not work when it is in this mode. I believe jtag is needed but hopefully there is a way around it.

This is great news!! Thanks a ton for bringing this to Vivid world.

I'm looking forward to it. I have a brick and like to try it

stuck in ruu mode vivid, when plugged in it's black htc screen with 4 triangles, check pics

not sure how it got there, but i'm willing to guess that it had something to do with ics upgrade/attempt to s-off.

hopefully this can help, if not i will have to send to HTC but they had my incredible S for a month now with no solution yet lol so i dont wana wait another month for this guy.

ready to give this a shot :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dexter93:
This is a quite unexpected behavior and usually it is caused by dodgy hardware,or other unknown factors. You can try this method, but I am pretty sure it won't work for you

You are stuck on the pre-update. When you see this

FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately)

you simply have to flash the rom.zip again
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lebmb:
I tried multiple times, with different computers and usb cables and nothing :(

also redownloaded ruu from football and htc
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bioan:
Same here. Will your method work for us dexter? If you will ever need a beta tester I am here. Thank you.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] deltaarmstrong2000:
If you ever need another beta tester, Im here as well. If i goes wrong so bad, I have a riff box to jtag it back.

Looking at a htc raider thats totally locked up from a customer who flashed the wrong kernel. He won't admit to whats he's done, so it's my project now.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lebmb:
saw the amaze unbrick released and the OP getting updated lol time to get ubuntu ready LOL

Dexter if you feel that this won't help resolve my issue then i wont try it and just send it to htc but i'm hoping it will work to avoid doing all that

thanks awesome work :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] DemonRagna:
I hope this will solve my problem. I had to switch to an iPhone and I'm not too fond of it because I had to get my SIM card chopped. Hopefully I will be able to use my Vivid once again. :D

Sorry for the wait, but HTC has really messed things up with the versioning in the Holiday

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rajbsn:
Great Work!!

I have just tried this and when I executed ./brickdetect.sh I got a message

The bricked device is on

Use the above node to perform operations using the emmc_recover tool

Any idea what should I do next?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dexter93:
That means that your phone isn't found. Check to see if it is a supported type of brick and if it is, have you got auto mounting and unity disabled and you are using a USB2 port?

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dexter93:
Unity is present in the Ubuntu 11 and later, that's why we recommend using a 10.04 live CD or getting rid of it completely. Auto mount is easily disabled in any distro. I'm on mobile right now, but a quick search on Google should give you clear instructions ;)

okay bump. idk why i cant get my phone to read when i do ./brickdetect.sh im still getting the message "The bricked device is on

How did you brick your phone?

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] DemonRagna:
I was trying to restore my phone using the ICS RUU. It got stuck on 34% for an hour and now all I have is a black screen with HTC logo and a triangle in every corner.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dexter93:
Seems like I haven't made clear what a brick is. Brick = a device that doesn't respond to anything. No screen, charging leds, buttons etc.everything black and no signal of life.

You seem to be stuck in stock recovery. You need to flash a RUU to fix it

Sent from my HTC Sensation
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] davezaff:
That's exactly what I have but script does not seem to locate the device

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dexter93:
How did you brick it? Is your brick on one of the supported ones?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] davezaff:
Yes.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dexter93:
some further info please?how did you brick, which linux distro and version you are using etc.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dexter93:
A small update guys. Not so good though..

Seems like there is a manufacturing issue in the Vivid. On some devices dzdata can't be written while flashing a RUU, which happens exactly at 34% of it and that's why it hangs up there. Again I'm not sure if that's a universal problem or if it exists on a portion of the devices only, but so far I've had reports of it from 4 devices. About the solution, I'm afraid that the only one is to RMA the device as we really don't know what might be the cause of it and we can't trace it. Again, this is a manufacturing issue and HTC is the one to blaim. Time to claim warranty ;)

I think you're right about that, I sent in mine to HTC, still no word yet, but when i started the rma and told them that the ruu stops at 34% she seemed to know exactly what i was talking about, and told me that the phone is not going into a certain state that it needs to be in to complete the update. it's been there for a week and i haven't heard anything :( so i'll update when i hear something

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] flip4life39:
Not sure if my phone is truly bricked or not, but I can't seem to get into recovery. Long story short, my phone died overnight one day (wasn't rooting, upgrading ROM's or flashing anything). I'm now able to get it into Hboot, but not into recovery and every time I try to start it up, it just hangs at the HTC logo screen. I've tried flashing boot.img and recovery.img thru fastboot, even tried using every PH39IMG.zip our there, but I can't seem to get anything to work.

So bricked or something completely different?

I'm using a Rogers Raider with S-on and it was rooted. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

I have had success with several vivid units I have had brought to me. 2 of the people said that it got stuck on 34% and stayed there then they unplugged it. I just went and pulled the battery held the volume down key and just tapped the power button went into hboot clicked the bootloader and saw bootloader USB and then ran the ruu file.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] el_venga:
i cant get ubuntu 10.04 to detect it. not even with knoppix, which works pretty well with sbf_flash. any ideas? windows detects device just fine. btw i dont know the origin of the bricking but its possible it was damaged by OTA update.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] el_venga:
10char bump.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dexter93:
If you have followed all the steps carefully and fulfilled the prequisites, then the detect script should tell you if its repairable using our methods. Else, you'd need to JTAG it
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] roadhero:
Hello, guys, need a bit of help on this. My Vivid got bricked while downgrading to GB, it's S-ON and locked bootloader. It charges the battery but stays invisible under Linux/Win, neither does the script detect it, get a device can't be detected error message. Is there anything else I can do? I'm following tutorial step-by-step. Or jtag is my last resort? Any help is appreciated, thanks!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dexter93:
If it charges, you most probably have bootloader access. check that, and try to fflash a ruu
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] roadhero:
Thanks for fast reply. My bad, forgot to mention that the phone charges battery without any indication, I'm taking measures by voltmeter. When the battery is fully charged, it discharges extremely fast, in an hour or so. How do you think, is there anything else I can try (like this method) or anything else?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] roadhero:
I have a little progress on the phone, maybe there can be some advice to my situation. When I do the wire trick, device is recognized in Win7 as QHSUSB_DLOAD, in Linux I get:

Sep 5 22:19:15 angel-desktop kernel: [14963.205011] usb 1-7: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

and that's it, it still does not get detected by the script. Is there anything that could be done?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] davidplc:
Not recognize USB

I pluged USB in windows, and sound different when you plug normal USB device, and in Linux not recognize the device by USB. Does the phone totally brick?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dexter93:
sorry for the late reply, the thread got lost in my subscribed list somehow.

I can't tell what's the state of the device with just that bit. if you can get a full dmesg output, it would be good :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] davidplc:
Hello Dexter, thank you for your reply.

I connected my phone with out batery, SIM and SD memory, on Windows 7, and sounds like you plug any USB device, after few seconds, sounds like unplug the USB device, and then sounds like USB error, like plug USB but little different.

In Linux, don't do anything, also I used the instrucctions that is in the tutorial for unbrick and never find the phone, I've done the cable trick and nothing happend.

Hope have a solution for this.

ok, but WHAT did you do to the phone before it ended up in that state?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] davidplc:
Don't remmenber exactly, was 5 months ago, but I upgraded the bootloader, and I restart my phone, and never turn on again

soft bricked my phone >_<

So I, like many other people here, have bricked my phone. I was following the vivid [superguide], and everything had worked beautifully. I had unlocked the bootloader, s-off'ed the phone, updated hboot, etc. I had also installed Cyanogenmod; everything was perfect. The last thing I needed to do was unlock the phone. From the advanced reboot menu I chose to reboot the phone to the bootloader and BAM; bricked it. I attempted to use the unbricking sofware but the detection script does not find my phone. Is there anything I can do / anything you guys can suggest I try now? Thanks for your time.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:

You are qhb_download mode?

Or are you bootlooping?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kelvren16:
I wish it was boot-looping. That I think I would solve by going into hboot and basically starting all over again or going into recovery and wiping everything. Unfortunately, I'm in qhb_download mode :crying:
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:
All I can say if you don't have Linux is to try an RUU
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kelvren16:
I tried a ruu (latest official from HTC/ATT); couldn't detect the phone. I tried running the detection script using linux (my preferred OS); couldn't detect the phone. Linux does see that the phone is plugged in per lsusb, but the script couldn't find it.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dexter93:
Either hardware failure or bad flash on one of the partitions (usual with bad ROMs). If you're s-off, then go JTAG it. It's the only way
