EDIT:I have not tested this on 2.2 - I can only confirm that this will work on 2.1
First, install z4 root, located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=446145&d=1290341328
Once installed, click "root" and let the app do its thing. The app will root your phone, but will hang before it is able to restart. Let it sit for a few minutes before pulling the battery. When you turn your phone back on, ensure that superuser is installed to make sure your root was successful.

The Wildfire I rooted was sold by Alltel, and the phone most certainly does not have a sim card slot. What would the phone be, if not CDMA?
If not sure what one you have look on google images since there is a big difference

Is this going to be any different than rooting with Super 1 click? I've already rooted that way, but if this will open up things better, I'll redo mine...

Ok so I used universal androot to root my phone, now what.every thing looks thee same.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
you need to read the stickies in every part of the hero forum and do some google searches and you will see what you need to do. after about two weeks of reading and lurking here you will have all the info you need to make your phone awesome.
heres a good first step for you though
flash a custom recovery, then flash a custom rom.

Rooting your phone wont change the way it looks... you just have root access, that gives you the ability to change any thing you want... like the way it looks.

Now you want it to look different ?
Now you get to decide how you want it to look and operate. Your going to be the one doing this so you got some more work ahead of you... so you best get at it.( You actually didn't think it would be magically different by just rooting it did you ? ) That my friend is just the first step of the actual process..Now...go look at all of the different custom roms built for it and all of the different custom themes available..then... once you have a good idea of what you would like on your phone..start reading all you can about the rom & theme of your choice.Start at the beginning of the threads and read everything there..all of the issues and all the problems folks may have had and how they got fixed. This will save you a-lot of grief once your actually ready to make the switch.
I have found there are plenty of good folks here that will help you once you make up your mind of what you want to do to your phone..
Good Luck...& Good Reading to ya

RUU is basically the stock firmware they (HTC or carriers like t mobile) put on the phones, its a exe program instead of a zip file.

i unlocked my boot loader and used this method and im able to use titanium backup and superuser apps hope this helps
http://androidcommunity.com/htc-amaze-4g-gets-permanent-one-click-root-20111020/
Yes just picked mine up today. Would love to know how to root this device also.
With this phone being released on AT&T on November 6th there will most certainly be a tremendous increase in the desire for root and dev involvement. It won't be long before this phone has it's own forum and a whole lot of XDA love. I'm one of the many that has been waiting for this phone to come out since it was leaked back in May and I can hardly wait to get my hands on one!
Adding support to this thread. Would love to get root for my Raider! Will also help out this process in anyway I can.

Does the raider/vivid have the ability to do HDMI out?
it has a mhl port which is physically identical to a micro usb, it does do hdmi out but you need an adapter
google mhl to hdmi and it will all come up
Do we know if the boot loader is locked or unlocked?
Add your vote here to get an HTC Holiday/Raider/Vivid forum added.
Anyone try the regular rooting methods

I'm not able to post links, but if you google htc bootloader and go to htcdev.com it will all be there, I believe that's what he's referring to.

Doesn't matter, just get the fastboot code and it will generate a working unlock code.

Hey guys.. Been trolling around for years starting with a HTC touch. I recently got the raider and been watching the development going on recently since the unlock happened .
I was researching and realized how similar the evo 3d it's to our vivid.. How bad an idea would it be to try and port a ROM over to our little device ? atm i am not worried about not having lte available.
What's the thought on this idea?

Visit htcdev.com and follow the steps to unlock the bootloader . HTC has a simple guide which explains step by step process.
Than the simplest way is search for "xda vivid HTC super tool", in google and hopefully one of the links 1/2nd will take you to the right thread in this fourm .
HTC supper tool is easiest way to root your phone . I hope it helps.

Use the Superguide for Rooting
I just rooted my Vivid using the Superguide by Slapshot30. If you follow the guide, you should have no issues rooting.

Great idea, I think I will work on doing that!
Ok so a dev made a tool to unlock bootloader, get cwm recovery and basically everything you need. Only thing missing is a simple step on actually perm rooting. So go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1498003 and follow those instructions. Read read read. When you finish unlocking bootloader (probably longest part of the process) you're going to get the cwm recovery which is really easy. Back up your stuff (just read the instructions) then go to the Superguide thread in the dev forum and download the vivid root zip at the bottom of the first post. Stick that bad boy into your ext. Sd card and boot your phone into recover (that tool has a button to do that but if you wanna learn.yourself, just power down, pull battery and inser again, hold power and volume down button until the hboot screen comes up, go to fastboot then recovery). I assume you backed your files and now.you will flash the root by installing zip from ext Sd card and flash the vivid root zip. You are now rooted! Reboot and check your apps for superuser. Yay!

I must say this phone with its locked bootloader is more complex than other phones I've owned! Stick with the supergiude and you'll be fine.
