I'd like to report that this SIM unlock method works for our device as well:

Can anyone else confirm if this method does in-fact work on the Raider?

Just thought i'd say it worked for me on my HTC Vivid i just got, now using on Tbaytel/Rogers
Ok so I have done this and i believe it worked but i cant fully confirm it as i do not have a active sim card at the moment. I did try it with a verizon lte card and a verizon vodaphone sim and a tmobile sim all did not give me the normal sim locked error. So i believe this worked. will post back when i know this works for sure.
It worked on my Rogers Raider as described in the instructions
This method need S-Off. I have HTC Vivid with ICS and has been rooted but don't know how to S-off this phone. Can anyone let me know what you did? Thx
Use the superguide. It walks you through most all of it. If you nerd help with the actual s-off part PM me and I'll try and help you out.

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

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.
im getting my Vivid tomorrow morning hopefully there will be a way to root this device by the end of the month

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.

Hey guys, I just got the HTC Raider here in Canada on Rogers. I wanna know do I have to unlock the bootloader in order to root? Or is there a way to root without unlocking bootloader?
Thanks to everyone and anyone who can advise
Not at the moment, too root you have to flash a .zip through recovery so you will need to unlock your bootloader in order to gain root.
Hey Mr Patchy Patch, remember you from the X10 days.

I just got this thing today, love it, but hate not having root access.
went to the htc thing for unlocking bootloaders, but in the pulldown box rogers isnt there....I dont get it
The HTC Vivid (AT&T) option should work. Haven't heard any problems with any Bell users unlocking through HTC dev and selecting HTC Vivid.

If I try that can it brick my phone?

Nope, if the Unlock code is unsupported then it will tell you and won't allow you to continue.

I have a raider and I had no issue unlocking. From what I heard if we do get s-off it should be effected by us doing the HTC unlock.

Unlocked bootloader....rooted device....all is good....bloatware removed.....lots of stuff frozen for testing.

Hello. im sorry if this is not the right places, but here is what i can tell you.
I did the whole s-off, custom hboot, custom recovery business.
changes the ap? to 111111 (cant remember how many it was) to use the att update to ics.
installed virtuous rom.
i used the sim from my iphone 4 with a sim adapter to make it fit properly.
i got my unlock code. not sure if i can say where, so i wont. i got the link somewhere on xda and it seemed legit.
i just get unsuccesfulll...
and im scared to do it again, because i dont know how many more tried i have, it might only be 1 more time.
11140626
IMEI # 358730040400582
i double checked, this is correct.
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
could that be messing up my unlock?
going to try flashing back to stock rogers, i have a feeling thats whats messing it up

In the middle of downloading the stock RUU again...in the same boat here.
By chance is there any other way around this?
Not sure if this has any bearing, but could it have anything to do with the fact that I have changed my CID to 111111 from what it was previously (ROGERS3 - or something...dont remember what it was doh!).
Thanks
No, supercid did not effect it, just go back to stock, sim should unlock now, and repeated the process back to the way you want, good luck, I can't really offer much more advice, I would concider myself a noob that reads alot.

Where did you get your unlock code from?
I just searched xda for good references, prob the best way to find one
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2
I believe you have to use the unlock code on the stock non rooted non unlocked phone before upgrading.

Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA
If so, what do I have to put in for the CID for it to work? And is there anything else I need to know for this to work?
I ask because I recently switched to T-Mobile and only get EDGE (2G) data speeds.
Yes I do have S-OFF, root, and an unlocked bootloader.

Yes, because the ATT version unlocked is the same as the international (unbranded) version. Your CID would be T-MOB010, also, make sure your APN is correct for T-Mo as well.
I bought this phone from ebay. I live in europe and when I inserted my SIM I got a notification locked... and no signal, so I guess my phone is locked.
First is it sure than it can be unlocked to be used with any GSM SIM?
Can I unlock it permanently so that even when I update or flash another ROM my phone is unlocked?
Will a custom ROM unlock my phone?

Another question. As I live outside the US I don't have a Sprint SIM. Now the phone is activated, but will I be able to activate it if I update or flash a custom ROM? Please help me I'm desperate
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using Tapatalk 4
Unlock your bootloader, flash root, then follow the simple guide to SIM unlocking. Should run around 5-10 min if you know what your doing. Look into the SIM unlock helper app by viperboy.

The unlock has survived RUU's with me, so I assume it's permanent. For compatibility, check the bands supported for gsm on the Sprint variant and compare to the network you'd be using. No, a custom Rom won't do it.

I already bought 2 htc one from sprint, unlocked it by an app that is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2430448
your phone have to be rooted
only works on sense roms.
Thanks. What is that ap "Activation"? Does this phone need to be activated with a Sprint card if I flash a new ROM?
