⏱ ~5 min📋 6 steps

The HTC Vivid is a 2011 Android 2.3.4 smartphone powered by the Qualcomm APQ8060 Snapdragon S3 with 1GB and 16GB internal storage. It features a 4.5", S-LCD, 256K colors, 540.0x960.0 display and is available in Black, White.

The Vivid is equipped with a Removable Li-Ion 1620 mAh battery, a 8 MP, 1080p@30fps main camera, a 3 MP front camera. The device uses a Mini-SIM configuration. It weighs 176.9 g.

A bootloop on the HTC Vivid occurs when the device repeatedly restarts without fully loading Android. This is commonly caused by a failed software update, corrupted system files, or an incompatible app. Most bootloops can be resolved without losing data by clearing the cache partition first before attempting a factory reset.

Factory reset may be needed as a last resort — erases all data.

1

On your HTC Vivid: force restart: hold Power for 15–30 seconds

2

If still looping: enter Recovery Mode

3

Navigate to 'Wipe cache partition' → confirm → reboot

4

If still looping: return to Recovery

5

Select 'Wipe data/factory reset' → confirm (erases all data)

6

Last resort: use your manufacturer's PC tool to reinstall firmware
