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.

+1. I plan on picking up this device on monday

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

The bootloader unlock works from HTC just tested it, now we need S-OFF

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.

Yes that's what I'm refering too, my bootloader is unlocked but we need a custom recovery to get full root.

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

Not that I know of, this will probably speed up now that its available in the u.s.
But I'm more than willing to dump any partions a developerwould need.

Thanks for all that you do for us, Football.

Man, Football you are the man! You got us a working replacement Best Buy HTC Flyer RUU to revert back to GB from HC when HTC had nothing (still doesn't), now this... Thanks again!

This is important how?
Not asked sarcastically, as a beginner. This RUU is the stock loading tool? Can it be loaded and not lose root? These are the first two questions that hit me first. Is this the way to return the Dinc to stock form?

Yes, this is the way to return your Dinc to stock. Although I don't think it touches your S-off if your boot loader is s-off.

Someone wanna extract the ROM zip for me...?
Not near a computer....

Honestly, it's never a good idea to run an RUU if you are concerned about root.

True. If you want this, but still want root, use Wildstang's rooted OTA. Like he said, he built if from this (or based it off this, mind my ignorance as I'm thinking it means the same thing).
After Running so many different Roms over the last year, if kinda feels good to stick with a stock rom for a while......with a few mods

Many thanks Football for keeping us up to snuff on the RUU's throughout the life of this phone. Much appreciated.

Thanks. I meant CAN you get back to a custom recovery if you run this (does the phone actually stay soff) ... Had anyone actually tried. Thanks

Just an RUU wont change the bootloader security flags. You have to run S-ON from Unrevoked to get it back on. So it should be fine.

The easiest way ( for me at least) to flash a boot.IMG (kernel) is with Flashimagegui. It's available in the market.......ahem, google play for a buck. Or the creator of the SW has a dl link in his thread for free.

Go into HBOOT (if you don't know how, go look for it! Not handholding you all the way through this), and re-unlock your bootloader. It should boot back into whatever custom ROM you had before.
If you weren't on a custom ROM, download the ICS RUU (or an old GB one) and pray that it works.
If it doesn't work, congratulations, you're the proud owner of a brick! Learn your lesson, and READ next time!

where can i get the download the ICS RUU

did you get ICS up n runnin? Or did you have to roll w/ GB?

Got the ics running! The Ruu helped a lot
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA

For future reference, its not a brick if you can still power on. If you can get it even to power on, most of the time you can fix it. If you do something and it wont power on, youre done. Soft Brick v. Hard Brick.

Thanks for the info!

Thanks for the help! I actually flashed the kernel without even knowing it and the rom flashed just fine.

You will need to unlock your bootloader at htcdev.com
Then you will need to download superuser.zip at clockworkmod.com
Good luck.

Yes the down side of unlocking the bootloader is that it will also do a System Reset and wipe out your downloaded apps and data, including your contacts. You can sync your contacts to your Google account and should be ok.

would like to get download link
i didn't find superuser.apk at clockwork.com , give me another way to get superuser.apk in other website.

Choose "All Other Supported Models". You need an account to begin.

I have success. So far, I'm loving this phone.
