I would like some help as well. I have seen so many ways to root that it makes me nervous to pick which way to go. I've done every thing possible with my galaxy s but this phone the vivid seems difficult. Is there a true super one click for the phone that will give me root. Don't want custom rom. Just root access. Thanks. Htc vivid 4.0.3

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

There are several good roms, best advice is to try each because what works good for me may not work for you.

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
wat roms can i use where i dint have to flash a kernel

Retrace your last steps, what rom were you flashing?

I had the same problem and was somewhat freaking out for a few hours today. You need to install clockworkmod most likely. Get the data from the clockworkmod thread over in the development subsection, and use the fastboot flash recovery command to install it.
I'm about to go to sleep, but if you can get to fastboot don't freak out like I did. PM me if you can't figure it out by tomorrow. I can try my best to help (although I admit I'm also very noobish in many ways)
theres a clockworkmod recovery for vivid ?

Yes, in the development section.
Not trying to sound like an a-hole but people really need to read and ask questions before they try to start doing these things to their phone.

Sent from my HTC Holiday
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.

1. Can I leave hboot off unrooted
2. Can I lock hboot without a PC
3. Some tutorials say to lock hboot before flashing back to stock. I was aware u needed hboot unlocked to do this.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA Premium App
2. To unlock bootloader you need a pc
3. You need to unlock your bootloader, as for hboot depends on if you are flashing ics etc

I have no clue why I am having so many issues going from rumraider beta 12 to unroot. But nonetheless I am. I will just have to sit down and read. I emailed the dev if that rom hopefully he is available

Ok so here is where I run into my issues. I am a gamer on my phone. At some point everyone is. But I play perblues games parallelmafia and parallel kingdom. On ics on the vivid I am getting some kind of skipping lag. And its only on that game. Maybe someone can help and try to figure the issue. I also called HTC support they attempted with same issue.

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.

Thanks for the reply the phone is on stock ICS now so I might try to flash wajee again from stock. Are you using the kernel that comes with the ROM?

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.

There are multiple guides on XDA. I made one myself its in my sig
Compared to other phones, this phone is actually quite the headache to root and achieve S-OFF

Power off the phone and then hold the Volume Down key while pressing the Power button. This will boot you into the bootloader screen which lists the HBOOT version, the lock status and the radio version.

This is a very reliable guide. I used it first before achieving S-OFF. I would recommend S-OFF over just root though. Allows you to flash kernels, radios, splash screen, anything.
S-off -> root -> custom rom

errr... root and s-off are entirely different things. I looked at this thread in phandroid forums, and according to it, root just gives you superuser permissions. It gives you the ability to flash things to your phone, custom ROMs. However, when you root your phone, the Radio NVRAM section of the phone prevents you from completely overwriting system partition or at least from changing it. With S-OFF, you flash a custom HBOOT which gives you the ability to overwrite this system partition or in other words, literally do whatever you want to your phone.
I know. Not all of the custom rom require s-off. I suggest to him to s-off -> root -> the install custom rom. Forgot to put i suggest
