Just use this...if your bricked you won't be able to use recovery to flash a Rom...here is a ruu...its not gingerbread but it will bring you to official ics stock...http://dl3.htc.com/application/htc_vivid_att_RUU_3.26.502.56_US.exe

Oh even better, I was just planning to go back to 2.3.4 then upgrade to 4.0.3 anyways, this is great. Thanks a bunch! :D

EDIT: Wait, will this act as a flash and flash the whole OS on my vivid back to ICS 4.0? or just update it...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ronnie498:
Will flash whole os

Okay, good. Thanks. Sorry, first time rooting ;)

Which also means that it'll flash the stock kernel, ROM, and wipe your entire phone. Remember to relock the bootloader before running the RUU if it's unlocked.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Kevin147:
How would I go about unlocking/locking it back up? I'm not quite sure what to do, I don't have the phone just yet, but its in the mail. I'll most likely need help rooting it when I get it..
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] LaZiODROID:
Getting your phone flashed to the ICS RUU will help you later when flashing custom roms (as I believe all of them are ICS-based)

The Superguide sticky thread in development can help you with the Bootloader Unlock procedure and many other things like rooting and prepping your phone for the S-OFF procedure (if you want to S-OFF your phone). Link below.

Unlocking the bootloader gives you permission to flash to partitions like your recovery partition (so you can flash custom recovery like clockworkmod etc.)

Once your bootloader is unlocked, RUU's will refuse to flash to your phone until you re-lock the bootloader. To relock your bootloader, power up the phone into HBOOT/Bootloader mode, choose Fastboot, then in a command prompt, run the command:

fastboot oem lock

To confirm it worked, next time you power up the phone into HBOOT/Bootloader mode, you should see at the top of the screen **RELOCKED**

Then you will be able to flash an RUU via your computer (while having your phone in fastboot mode)

When you get to the S-OFF portion of the superguide:

If you DO want to S-OFF your phone, follow that section of the superguide EXACTLY. It has important steps for prepping your phone for the S-OFF procedure.

If you do NOT want to S-OFF your phone, note that whenever you flash custom ROMS, the kernel partition must be flashed manually via fastboot (either before or after flashing the rom - I don't think it matters if it is before or after - anyone know this for sure?). I think every ROM includes the kernel (boot.img) file inside the zip so you can copy it to the same folder that has your fastboot.exe so you can run:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

Here is the superguide link:

Or use the toolkit...its easy and walks you through the steps of unlocking bootloader and rooting...it also has a relock bootloader option so you can relock it in a click of a button...

If your gonna use the ruu...use it before you even root/unlock.the bootloader...that way you won't have to relock it

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zouheirito:
Hello..

as i post in a thread and some optimitic guys ( thanks for them) they just blocked any hope for me to fix my galaxy note which i think it is bricked...

( the story goes when i flashed a ROM and when i rebooted it stopped responding totally to anything )...

i searched at the internet about solutions and i read about USA JIG and i tried it but it didn't work but i'm not sure if i did it wrong or it doens't work for my phone.

i need a hope that will be fixed in any possible way before i take a dicision to dumb this one and buy new one.... i really don't want to hate samsung products. so this time i think i'll move into the HTC X ONE... but i really wish to be able to fix this one becuase i newly had it no more than one month. and it's not under any warrenty or insurance " as it doens't apply for my country "

if anyone can lead me to a way please let me know..

and thanks for your time.

call ATT and ask them. They may feel nice and credit your account for $100. They just waived my upgrade fee over the phone today so you never know. Good luck!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] strider-:
I bought mine less than a week before the price drop, and I went back to the store I got it from (AT&T corp store) and they refunded me the difference. 60 days out is kind of a stretch, but if you got it from a brick & mortar store it's worth a shot.
[HTC One X] OliverHaslam:
I've noticed of late that my One X thinks that my home WiFi is still in range, and that it's connected, even when I am not at home. To get mobile data to work I have to turn WiFi off and back on again to make it work properly.

Anyone experiencing the same?
[HTC One X] PAGOT:
Nah, there is an option for disconnecting the wifi if there is no good connection.

also there are wifi fixing tools in the market, switching between aps etc.

also there are tools for switching to 3G if WiFi is under some threshold.

Unfortunately you must search and test. Did my fair share of that.

Also check out that option in the settings if you have it checked.
[HTC One X] OliverHaslam:
Regardless of that setting, it should know that the Wi-Fi it was connected to is no longer there.
[HTC One X] PAGOT:
Okay and? Are you completely stock. And you tried already factory reset, and this happens with every AP on the latest sw ?

Then you could try to return it for repairs?

I've seen a lot of people do it when they don't feel like restoring their apps with Titanium, among other things. It's always best to wipe and start fresh, but you can try to see if it work for yourself.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cuppeerr:
Lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cruise350:
You can do this, but it doesn't make much sense. If your rom developer adds apps or other items to the data partition when you restore data from a nandroid it will over right them and you will lose them. You would be better off just wiping caches and formatting the system partition and leaving the data intact. At least then any tweaks the developer puts in data won't be lost when you do your restore. They call this a dirty install and will work most of the time without any problems.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] banccalif:
Im familiar with dirty flashes but sometimes id like to start fresh while keeping data intact. I normally use a certain set of apps regardless of what is included in the rom. If it's something I'd want then I'd dirty flash, backup that data partition after uninstalling the bloat and use that for my new restore point

Main one is about the bottom part of my screen pic is attached it looks like it's just bugging out and it's annoying lol I. I thinking it could be the notification bubbles app but not sure

Second question is when we go into the settings and click the force close as soon as u turn off the app everytime u go to ur home screen it has to load and that's really annoying any work around for that..? Cause you would think if every app just closes when you're done it would do the opposite of load right?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wonderrx:
Hello all,

Coming from a Thunderbolt I was very comfortable with ClockworkMod Recovery, I backed up and flashed often through recovery.

On this VZW S3 upon rooting and installing CWMR standard version 5.8.something my backups were only going to the internal SD card and the dates were never right, always saying 1970. The file size seemed about right (1.5 gb) and there were the normal dozen of so in the backup directory.

Out of desire to backup to my external I card I tried the new EZ Recovery app which installed CWMR 6.0.1.0 I believe, the non touch version. This version would backup to the external SD card, but still had the wrong date name for the backup folder. When I browsed that folder it was only 30mb but there was another folder called blobs that was about 1.5 to 2gb.

Is this how version 6 works? I don't have much confidence that this is a good nandroid backup and that I could restore off of it.

Looking for confirmation that this is how it is to work with version 6 and/or any tips or alternatives you can offer. I want to be able to backup and restore off of my external SD card.

Thanks in advance!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
That is indeed how version 6 works. As for the dats, those are sadly messed up in general :( I haven't seen a fix for that, but i also haven't searched for one because i know which ones are my latest and don't keep many of them anyways. As for it not backing up on 5.8 its because you have to have your SD formatted as FAT32 and exFAT (again not sure if 6.0.1.0 changes that because i formatted mine) But i did successfully backup and restore on version 6 and it worked perfectly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wonderrx:
Thanks Never,

I wiped the card when I first had issues backing up on 5.8. Formatted it with the phone but it still wouldn't give me the backup options. How can you check the formatting?

Wonder how multiple backups work in version 6, does it dump it together in the blobs? Or is is some more intelligent non duplication way of storing multiple backups?

Thanks again!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
I formatted mine on the computer just to make sure it worked. So no idea how to check it from the phone sorry.

As for multiple backups, i've got a few backups and it always restores fine, so im assuming its got a way of knowing what goes with what.

And your welcome :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] loveubuntu:
Are you trying too back up through rom manager? I've given up on that. I do not have an external card, am rooted, using the latest non touch cwr. I usually boot into recovery manually or through rom manager and backup from there. Have the same issues with dates and large size. But happy to report that I go back and forth between cm10, stock, and synergy rom regularly with no problems. Also remember kexec boots 3 times, it's not a bootloop.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wonderrx:
I boot into recovery and backup there, if I do it through Rom Manager I get no choice to backup to external SD at all, but I can in version 6 thru recovery.

Glad to hear it works OK.

What flavor of CM10 are you running and can you give me a link to the one you are using? Does Google Now with the cool voice search work well on CM10? Been dragging my feet! Might be ready to take the plunge.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] loveubuntu:
I can't stand the Touchwiz crappy so cm10 was the only choice for me. Apparently the sms/mms not working but it does not effect me since I use Google voice. Very smooth. Google DROID hive forum and look for it there. It's by dhacker.

Google now working great.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mr. Fantastic?:
I was wondering if there is somewhere or someone here in the forums that can clarify how these new back-up files work. I like to back-up my back-ups on drop-box, but now that it is creating all these files do I need to move all of these created files together or just the file with the date and time stamp? I want to flash a new rom but want to make sure my current is backed up correctly on my dropbox before doing so.

Any direction is appreciated Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Phone formats to sd card to extFat. Fat32 must be done on PC. No recovery supports extFat. Kexec no longer supported by anyone once bootloader was unlocked. Haven't used Clockwork since TBolt days so don't know how Blob files affect Dropbox backup. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Bort76:
There is an option in CWM to turn off the blobs. I prefer to have backups that are stand-alone, so I personally turn this off.

In CWM Recovery 6.0.1.2:

backup and restore > choose backup format > tar

The two options are "dup (default)" and "tar". The "dup" option gives you the blobs folder. The idea is that it saves space when you have multiple backups. The "tar" option seems to work just like you are used to - one folder per backup.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cris_ronel:
Where does the sms folder goes?? I forgot to back up my sms using smsbackup and restore but then i was able to make a backup on cwm i like to restore my back up but when i hit restore it says md5 mismatch.. but since i was able to make a backup on cwm where i can find the right folder for sms.. cause i would like to copy it on my current rom folder so i can restore it

On Android 4.0.4 & Sense 3.6, I can find the media player via wifi, Bluetooth etc before I play video. So, I can stay at the same media player for video or photo untill I change it.

On custom ROM with android 4.0.3 & Sense 4, it different. For video, I.need to play it first then.I can change to another media.player. next video I need to select again.

Is it this because Android version?
