So I came from the Inspire which had an abundance of development going on for it, now that you can finally root the Vivid I'm hoping that it will pick up here as well. What I'm wanting to know is what ROMs are out there that will work for the Vivid and if they can be flashed used ROM Manager or if thats not available yet.
Also boot animations (if they must be vivid specific or can be used from any phone style)
Thanks for any help I might be able to get.
I really would not recommend the from manger yet for the vivid. The Holiday recovery is not correct for the Vivid
Read the Super guide and get the proper Recovery.
Check out the Vivid dev section there are a few Sense 3.5 Roms, the only one I have been successful with is RumRaider the rest I have had issues with boot looping and the like. Many of us are still trying to get to the bottom of these issues. However it is very early on on dev for the vivid

Recovery confusion
There is some confusion circulating about the CWM recovery version compatibility with the few roms currently available, and Rom Manger has reported an incorrect recovery version to me.
I would hold off on RM for a bit.
I have successfully loaded and used RumRaider and HoliRaider.
I would just follow the super guide and stay away from ROM Manager.
I still won't use ROM Manager even when it is supported because it's way to buggy for my liking. Plus, it's always good to know how to do everything manually if you ever have any issues.

I don't want to mess this up and I know HTC has different names in different regions so i want to be 100% sure. After i unlock the bootloader do i just use this to get root?
I have the Bell Canada HTC Raider 4G LTE. Want to be 100% sure i got the right thread.
Yep, that will give you root. It will also give you a custom recovery and rom if you want.

There is actually a thread under development that is for rooting the Bell RAIDER with instructions. I would use that post as your guide.

Yeah that is outdated, I ended up following those steps but the new recovery image from thecubed thread and the new root from Pirateghost.
Seems to be good, now i just need to figure out how to remove the bloatware.

If you want to remove bloatware it is very easy. Download a program like titanium backup or no bloat. They will allow you to freeze/remove apps that you don't want. Real easy to use both.
hehe thanks that's what i ended up doing

There is not a true one click root yet for the Vivid there are several methods to root, I use the wcx root method it is easier then the All in one..
I just switched from the captivate to the vivid as well. I feel so lost now, i knew my Cappy inside and out, but with this phone everything seems so complicated. I just want to root the stock rom as well. Ive tried many of the methods but none seem to work.

With any method best to read all the information, wcx has very clear and precise instructions to help you root.
sorry if i sound totally stupid but what is wcx and can i use it if i have started with the tool kit by hasoon2000? i too have had an inspire and rooted it have had tilt 2 and rooted it and even installed android but this is not the same. i too have bricked a vivid trying and did a warranty exchange and want to try again but am leary. even tried to revive the bricked device but could not. can still get to bootloader but am kinda lost from there. help! pleasee!
Wcx is wildchilds site google it you have to join his site to see the vivid section and have 10 post to download which you can get in the lounge section very easily

i would recommend just using the all in one toolkit, the reason your vivid is stuck on the white htc screen is you flashed a wrong kernel relock your bootloader run the stock att ruu unlock bootloader flash custom kernel flash custom rom and enjoy, personally i use Holic's 0.7 rom it is by far the best for me wcx is also very good

Hi I just got a Vivid today and was wondering where to start. I am coming from a unlocked Dell streak using streak mod recovery. This uses clockwork I take it. Was wondering what the s on and s off stuff is and which is the best root method. I've seen 3. Btw this is a att locked vivid.
Thanks for any help and nice to meet you all.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium
"S-ON" means security on. So that means you can't flash unsigned ROM's. And the best way to start with the rooting and unlocking is with the "[SUPERGUIDE] ICS-Root-Flash-Stock" or the "[TOOL] HTC Vivid All-In-One Toolkit V2.2 [6-7-2012] [PERM ROOT] [Noob-Proof]" If you're a complete noob. They're both in the development part for the Vivid at the top of the list. Best of luck to you.
S-off is most useful for allowing the recovery to flash the kernel in a new ROM. You can still do this manually via fastboot and a PC. Other than that, you should be able to flash the other parts of the ROM without s-off, but Your Mileage May Vary.
The process for s-off is detailed in the Vivid Android development section as well, but be warned it is marginally difficult and requires a Phillips 000 screwdriver in order to remove one of the backplate on the phone. That being said, it is a worthwhile endeavour and you only need to do it once. Since you're already on AT&T, you don't need to worry about getting the ICS hboot on your phone, so this process is one step easier.

Also in the superguide in the development section where it talks about flashing kernels, there is an app there that lets you flash kernels in android so you do not have to do it in fastboot. Hope you enjoy your phone.
Thanks for all the good info guys. I can tell I'm gonna like it here.

Hello all here is the issue. My girlfriend has the HtC vivid and I have rooted it and obtained s-off with the wire trick. After I was done with this I attempted to find a good ROM for flashing there are very few. I decided on Virtuous Inquisition after installing VI I was fairly happy with the outcome no sense is the goal here. After the flash I noticed the signal bars not working like descired in almost all the non-sense HtC vivid ROMs. This seemed like no problem because the phone still technically had service right?
-well after using it for a few days my girlfriend disconvered that her text messages would fail to send sometimes actually sending them sometimes not. It would take serveral attempts to send the message and once it finally sent the recipent would sometime recieve for than one messages even though the vivid says it only sent 1. The same thing occured with phone calls she would have to try to call someone four or five times before it would go through. It also works the other way and sometime she will not get messages or calls for long periods of time.
This all occurs in VI and in [TEAM CODEFIRE][ICS]De-Sensed Rom by Wajee 1.6. I have tried using the stock kernel and the provided kernel with both of these as well. I have also used several different APNs and they all do the same thing.
I just flashed the stock kernel and ROM back on to the device and I am seeing if she has any problems. Could the wire trick have damaged the phone? I have not heard of anyone else having this problem.
What else can I try
Both of the desensed ROMs have plenty of issues. Wajeeh's is probably the better bet if you wanna stick with no sense. Otherwise Google wcx illuminati and go with that. It's the best ROM for the vivid by a LONG shot.

I always flash the faux007 kernel because i get better battery life with it. you can always try different ones to see how they run
Well I think I found my problem. I unlocked the boot loader on the phone the first time I flashed a ROM but re locked it. I just noticed it was lock so I unlocked it and installed wajee 1.6 and so far so good.

Noob questions
Hi,
I'm new here and I need to ask a couple of things. I really want to root the phone and work with it because the battery is killing me with its phenomenally short live.
So, the 2 questions. What rom would you recommend as worth to try? For what I have been reading Paranoid or PAC appears to be the one with almost no problems related to phone operability.
And the second question is where I can find a proper guide on how to root this phone? I am not new to rooting a phone have done that before with an HTC desire and a Galaxy S2 but I am having a hard time finding a proper guide to root the HTC vivid.
Thank you very much for your help and sorry for my noob questions.
There is a super guide in development

Been using Borked, awesome rom.
Borked 2.5 beta is a good choice. For being a beta it doesn't have very many bugs from what i've seen.
PAC, Paranoid Android, and cyanogen mod are all good. I'll give a link to a ton of ROMs that you can try.

I've tried almost every ROM. JB ROMs isn't to att friendly as the in call volume is super low. first on ma list is virtouis inquisition on battery life an performance and sound quality second is darkraider has aroma installer and like 7 kernels to choose from an a whole bunch of install options and if u wanna change any of the kernels are settings offered to u in the install just reflash zip an gives u option to change setting super clean an super easy to use also very good on battery life performance and sound in audio and in call. jb ROMs I like cm10 with sultan kernel developed by a super smart 15 year old xda developer he's the only one working on the volume fix as we speak as and yes fixed a whole bunch of jelly bean ROM problems and the thing that flips my head the most is he don't even own or have a vivid
i'm also running cm10 with sultan kernal. runs great, no issues. if you use it you cant get the most up to date version of gapp's, there's a slightly older version that works with the vivid/cm10 much better
Seriously gotta try borked 3.2, its amazing.
