*See here for Vivid root progress*

Hey guys, our own GSLEON3 has just started working with EvilDevnull. Evil has a pretty good track record with being able to exploit devices, so I think we might be in luck. However, EvilDevnull was banned from XDA for reasons I won't go into. So please, do not link his site, but you are allowed to link his twitter. TO FIND HIS SITE, google "s-off think tank" and you will find his forum with his name in the url. Register with the forum and you are in. Recently, Evil was only working on the HTC Rezound but GSLEON3 was able to get him to add a Vivid section on the forum since the two devices are so alike. So check in on the Vivid or Rezound sub forums to see what's going on. This thread is for root discussion only, please do not start drama about Evil or you may face the consequences with a mod.

Very cool. Thank you for the update. Just signed up

Thanks slapshot30. Things are going in the right direction

Hoping to learn more and more specifically learn enough to help with rom development...
I'm a Web Developer by trade, but pretty excited about the 'Holiday', finally being a real device.

Excellent!!!

I am really dissapointed because this is the first HTC phone I get that I can not modify to my like. I like it hardware wise but miss the overclocking and twicking and so. I just wish it was rooted. So I am going to fork some cash for a moto razr from local carrier that has the same freq than Ma Bell and put this baby In its box until its been rooted. I like it enough to hold on to it and I realy don't like the Sammys, I remember my cappi being unstable and feeling like a chinesse counterfeit of a nicer product.
The razr is rooted so Ill have Enough

They actually have one that runs on att 3g.band from China

Rogers carriers the same phone in HSPA+ 850/19000 frequencies. they call it the Motorola Razr, sans Droid nameplate.

I've been using a rogers evo 3d since they were released. All the bands are the same between rogers Canada and att

No, he didn't. On the 17th he said he MAY have great news in a couple of days, not that it was definite. Not once has he given an actual eta.

Maybe jumping back to htc

Thinking of fireing up my htc inspire, was reading a post that has an ics beta build. Devs! Y U No build ics?

You know what, I may trade this Thrill and join you.
Though I've heard the Inspire does force close a lot, true?
And would Thrill for an Inspire be worth a trade?

HTC One X or HTC Vivid?

Well, I have a deadline of the 25th to choose and considering the One X is held up at customs without a specific way they have to do the investigation.... I'm doubting that will be over with by then. Considering that, is the Vivid a good option from my infuse?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium

One X unless you have a pressing need for microSD. It is worth waiting for a boot loader unlock.
Why do you have a deadline, might I ask?
Sent from my HTC Velocity 4G using XDA Premium App

Vivid would be my choice
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium

Have to get a new phone then or I don't get one at all. Convenient isn't it?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium

I'm really attracted to the one x because of sense 4 and the 720p display.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium

One X is essentially just another Vivid. You're not going to get much dev out of it since HTC said they're not going to unlock the BL. Sense 4 will come to the Vivid, one day.

Also, out of reading, I've noticed the vivid has to be taken apart for s-off. This isn't necessary for roms/kernels/mods, correct?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium

That is correct unless your carrier has not released ics upgrade or you have not updated you have to have ics hboot to run ics roms

I am on AT&T and decently experienced with technology, just not with programming. I just don't want to risk breaking a brand new device just to switch kernels. With unlocked boot loader, you just do it through hboot and adb correct?

Here's a link to another thread on the general forum. Same thing, One X or Vivid.

Yep just use fastboot commands I am on my phone so I could not see your carrier I am s-on with att and running dark raider and have had no problem flashing kernel with fastboot then flashing rom

Looks like sales on the One X will be halted due to patent infringement claims by Apple. You may be waiting a while to get one.

I have rooted and ran a custom rom with just about every android phone I owned cause stock was terrible but honestly the at&t vivid has a great stock ics rom with no issues at all I rooted this just to delete all that bloatware and battery life has been great since then I never had such a great battery life with custom roms all I did was download set cpu and was good to go.

Sounds great. I started with an iPhone, then an aria, after that I had an inspire and loved it. Now I'm on an infuse and love the screen but miss my sense.

Sense 3.6 on the Vivid will look a lot more like Sense 3.x on the Inspire than Sense 4.0 will.

I like sense in general, pretty much all versions.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium

Well, if all goes well, I will be joining the vivid community on the 25th. But I've had bad luck recently so its a possibility I won't.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium

you dont need s-off.. you can flash a kernel via flashboot. and also, your vivid is more or less a one x if you installed dark raider
cheers

Unless youre thinking about getting the euro quad core one x I would get the vivid. The one XL and the vivid are fairly comperable.

The people with skill to fix the ril are busy trying to figure out what was done to fix ril on sense 4.1...once that's figured out I'm sure someone will step up...patience is virtue...something all us vivid owners should have...we've been pretty spoiled this last month or two, but let's not turn into spoiled brats constantly whining for more (not saying you guys are whining...just don't want to see it happen in the future)

VZW HTC One spotted with 4.2.2?

Interesting development http://www.gottabemobile.com/2013/05/21/verizon-htc-one-rumors-take-interesting-turn/

We already know the ONE is going to be upgraded to 4.2.2

It would be logical too since they're releasing it late.
