Looks like I'm getting nowhere. I was going to try to see if an RUU to ICS would do anything, but I can't get the phone to accept the RUU when I run it on the PC. The update loads and when finished just quits, nothing happens on phone. tried with phone on, USB debugging enabled. also started...

I just got a used AT&T HTC Vivid with what turns out are 2 anomalies that I failed to observe initially. First I tried to put my ST sim card out my AT&T SGS, and get no service. No big shock initially since I have to change the APN info. Couldn't do that cause option is dimmed.Checked further...
