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.

WELL. If you think you will mess it up(very unlikely) I could do so via Skype if that's okay.

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.

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?

-Flashing different radios with different roms. (ie: there wouldn't have to be device specific roms and people wouldn't need certain hboots )
-Flashing a new bootsplash.
It'd be pretty nice to have S-off if I do say so myself.
S-off is indeed useful. I took it for granted on my old Incredible. I miss it.

Looks like another dev (or a few of them working together?) is working hard on s-off for the raider - just saw a post over in vivid development forum with some screenshots of before and after a successful s-off on the vivid. It says "coming soon....." on the op!

you cant thats why you need S-OFF without the only way is with fastboot commands.
I have a quick tool that can flash them for you but it does not use the GUI your talking about
S-OFF allows access to ALL parts of the device memory.
Can you attempt to achieve s-off, it seems to be your main concern
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA App
And if you're thinking you can use the developer ICS that was put out there, no amount of kernels we have for the Vivid are going to make it boot.

Not sure if it helps but I know the h-boot version of the s-off device I got my rom from was 1.85.
This rom doesn't work on my raider since its s-on.

Follow the guide for unlocking bootloader then look on last page for wild Childs instructions on how to flash recovery. Start with step 11.
