I need help. I am a noob, no doubt..
I was trying to root my new HTC Vivid. I used the All-In-One Toolkit.
I unlocked bootloader sucessfully. Flashed the WCXs CWM recovery.
But when I tried to flash the Holicakes Kernal it failed and I am stuck at the HTC boot screen. Not sure where to go from here?
Not sure if this thread is in the correct section because I searched it, but I am at the same problem. I have used same program as well.
Try posting in the vivid forum, probably would get more replies there. Try reverting back to stock.
I am having the same problem with my HTC Vivid. I'll update you if I find the answer.

hi,
I rooted my htc desire a few days ago using unrevoked 3.2. I then backed it up and wiped the phone and installed a custom UI (MIUI). I had loads of trubble with installing the rom and then found that my back up wouldnt work either. Today i tried a hard reset but when i boot the phone up all im getting is the o2 boot screen (branded phone to o2). All i want is to go back to what i already had on before (htc sense 2.2), no other custom roms
thanks in advance, please help. my phone is useless at the moment
I may not know much about HTC hardware and sense i do know that if can find the original ROM there should be instructions to install it or just try flashing it. I'm sorry if im mistaken.
How do i flash it and what does flashing do?? and were can i find the original ROM? sorry im a noob
Download and flash RUU_Bravo_Froy2_UK_2.14.207.1_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_144166_signed.exe from here: http://www.shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bravo/
You may need to have HTC Sync installed on your computer to flash the RUU.
This information is well discussed in the Desire section of these forums, you should check it out.
Good luck.
I posted a thread a couple of weeks ago and got some good advice however I failed to get a solution to my problem.
3 weeks ago I unlocked the bootloader on my HTC one x and flashed clockwork recovery. I then attempted to Install a .zip file through clockwork recovery, something went wrong and I now couldnt get past the HTC screen when I booted my phone. So I restarted it and after a few hours of trying to find a solution I thought I would just wipe the SD card, not knowing that this would royaly **** up my phone I went ahead and wiped it. I then posted this thread
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25571852#post25571852)
and I took the advice of post someone made, this is it.
Download a rom update utility (ruu) from
Forum. Flash stock recovery (you can find in modacos thread. ) Relock bootloader using fastboot oem lock. Start ruu and follow the directions. You can unlock bootloader again later.
I done all this up to the RUU, I flashed stock, I relocked but whenever I start the RUU I get the message "the ROM update Utility cannot update your android phone please get the correct ROM Update utility and try again". I have tried the following RUU's.
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.26.401.2_Radio_ 1.1204.90.13_release_251208_signed
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_Vodafone_UK_1.26.161.2_Radio _1.1204.90.13_release_251227_signed
and
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_ARA_1.28.415.9_Radio_1.1 204.103.14_release_25679_signed
Im not sure if this matters but im on Vodafone UK.
I Sent the Phone back to HTC and they came back with a quote of £196 which I was not willing to pay so I told them to send it back. I should be getting the phone back sometime this week. I really need to fix it myself as I cant afford nearly 200 quid.
Any ideas would be so helpful, I hate not having a phone.
Have you tried out if its possible to only use the Rom.ZIP File it is some where in a temp on your hardrive.

i have just bought desire s from a guy that had it rooted s-off and unlocked bootloader.
before i read everything in beginers guides i Flashed the official ICS rom.
so now the problem is i have no root, tried to flash it with recovery, but i got red triangle with ! in it.
Tried oneclickroot and it just hangs and when i trie HTC supertool v3 i get this image i added in attachments.......
and its still not rooted after restart.
Is there any way to just delete all and start all rooting unlocking from start. It sound stupid so i gues no.
Please some advise guys i am completely lost on this
Best advice: you started reading, but obviously didn't finish it. Keep reading till you know yourself what to do. Until you know - don't touch your phone, because you're not ready for it.
Have you tried reading the INDEX thread?

Why is my HTC One x (PROTOTYPE) stuck on ICS?
Hey guys, This is my first post ever on XDA so please forgive me if I sound like an idiot
I got hold of a HTC One x which was already had an unlocked bootloader, rooted and had CWM recovery installed. I was told that I have a prototype version of the one x. Anyway that is not issue. when I got the phone it was running android version 4.0.4 HTC Sense version 4.1 and I checked software update. The 3.14.401.27 OTA update was available so I proceeded with the update and after the reboot I found my phone stuck in a bootloop and the only way for me to sort it out was by restoring my nand back up from CWM. I really wanted the new Sense 5 UI and android jelly bean so I downloaded:
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_hTC_Asia_TW_3.14.709.20_Rad io_5.1204.162.29_release_292865_signed.exe
My CID was HTC__621 thats why I downloaded that ruu but after flashing it not was I only stuck in a bootloop but also when I entered recovery mode it was just a blank black screen with the back lights on. I even flashed different versions of CWM recovery and TWRP which gave me the same black screen so I flashed the stock recovery.img which also gave me the same black screen. I thought me maybe a different Ruu would resolve this issue so I used 'JBFWTOOL21' to change my CID to '11111111' this allowed me to flash:
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.14.401.27_Radi o_5.1204.162.29_release_298897_signed.exe
&
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.14.401.31_R_Ra dio_5.1204.162.29_release_302015_signed.exe
After trying both these ruu's I still found my device stuck in a bootloop. Next I downloaded 'Endeavoru_CustomRUU' this contained a 'rom.zip' which I belive was a jelly bean rom and said it would update my image version to '3.14.401.31' after flashing this ruu, my phone booted up past the 'HTC Quietly Brilliant' screen but into a black screen but I could hear the boot sound and knew it booted up but it still gave me a black screen. barre in mind this was the only rom that booted up and didn't get stuck in a bootloop but the downside was I had no picture on the screen it was literally pitch black with the backlight on when it went past the 'HTC Quietly Brilliant' boot screen. I didn't even see the one x boot animation. I could only hear the boot up sound and once it was booted up the notification LED would flash I was receiving network settings from my operator. That was about it. I booted into recovery to see wether that worked but unfortunatelly it was also still giving me a black screen. The only thing I could boot into without a problem was 'power button + volume down' which booted into bootloader in which I chose 'fastboot' to flash all these roms.
At this point I thought my device was soft bricked so I gave it to my friends father who happened to really good with his IT skills. He managed to change my device's CID from 'HTC__621' to 'HTC__001' after doing so he downloaded this ruu and flashed it:
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.17.401.2_Radi o_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed.exe
This ruu turned out to work perfectly fine with my device. Everything functioned once again, the device was able to boot into recovery and boot normally without a hassle. I also discovered that this was the rom that I received my phone with which put me back to the start on android 4.0.4
I was really annoyed with the fact that I was stuck on ICS so I flashed the MaximusHD 21.1.0 rom and its boot.img which put me into a bootloop again. I also tried other custom roms such as Revolution and SD secxces which all put my phone in a bootloop even though I flashed their boot.img kernels. I knew that I required a hboot 1.33.0000 or above in order to flash jb roms so I used 'JBFWTOOL21' once again before flashing these custom roms to update my hboot from 1.12.0000 to 1.33.0000. so all these bootloops still occourd after doing all this and I just had to return back to ICS. barre in mind I only tried flashing JB roms as I want sense 5 so I don't know if a custom ics rom would work on my device as I havent tried it yet but I know for a full fact that none of the jb roms work on my device.
For those who are wondering here, I uploaded some pictures of my device just check the attachments. It has all the information you may want to know about my device (HTC One X PROTOTYPE).
I really hope someone can help me update to jelly bean and get sense 5 as I am frustrated from failing and being stuck in bootloops
If you read all of this I honestly appreciate it and Thank you for it, I hope you can help me!
Sorry to say it after you've written such a lengthy post, but you're in the wrong forum. This is the HTC One XL (at&t One x) forum, they're completely different phones. You'll need to ask in the HTC One X forum, we don't know enough about your phone here, sorry.

I have the One X and have had no trouble installing ROMs, s-off, etc. I'm trying to root my girlfriends phone to rid it of the bloatware. I rooted and unlocked the bootloader fine. I went to install a stock rooted deodexed ROM. I flash it in TWRP and it doesn't finish flashing and just boots to the HTC One screen. Do I need to flash an RUU or do I need to flash something different? I appreciate the help. The dev on this phone is pretty light and you guys have always been alot of help.
You'd need to ask in the right section, each device has its own quirks so the best people to help you would be the people in the correct device subforum.
