Worth the update? - HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity

I've got my Raider rooted, s-off, sim unlocked and on the stock Rogers ROM but with Bell. What I'm wondering is, is it really worth updating to ICS? I've used it on other devices and quite enjoy it. But see lots of complaints about it. If I were to go about updating to ICS, could someone please comment or pm me a link to a guide to do either the OTA update or flash a stock ICS ROM from the state my phone is in?

Gracias everyone ,
got my new phone, Raider 4G LTE x710e. some people said it's HTC Vidid while the other said it's HTC velocity.
after search and read on HTC vivid section, i still cannot get correct answer. i'm newbie's on android .
1. Can i Rooting, and Flashing CWM to X710e using same methode on HTC vivid ? such using slapshot30 methode
2. if there is a chance CWM installed on x710e, can i put VIVID ROM on it, i mean, does ROM wich build for VIVID/VELOCITY working like a charm on X710e/x710a ? coz i think they are using very similar hardware ^_^
3. where i can find STOCK / official ICS RUU for x710e, or maybe VIVID RUU can be installed on X710e ?

1. Yes rooting is the same
2. Yes you can use any rom except ones that are ice cream sandwich based. The X710e doesn't have the updated hboot version to run ICS.
3. The X710e doesn't have one yet nor can you use the one from the vivid.

1. Yes, the same method applies to the HTC Raider. Please use the SuperGuide located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416836
2. The SuperGuide will show you how to install CWM, and there are various ROM's available for the HTC Raider. Only Gingerbread ROM's are available for the Raider, ICS ROM's are incompatible with the Raider at the moment. A great Gingerbread ROM for the Raider can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1431053
3.The official ICS RUU for the x710e is not available.
i see, so the conclusion is, rooting, flashing, unlocking methode and ginger custom ROM from VIVID/Velocity can be done on X710e Raider. thanks for answering my phone
if there is no RUU ICS update so far for Raider, what about Ginger RUU. does Ginger RUU from velocity/vivid work on Raider...?

RUUs are not interchangeable by model.

i see, so the only way to revert to STOK on my device if there's an issue with custom rom after flashing is Make a Backup of my STOCK before flash Custom ROM.
thankyou so much guys, now it's much clearer for me. ... time to learn again of development section.

Does that mean i can't get Custom Firmware for are HTC Raiders????!
Hey I just got my friends HTC Raider from Rogers running Holics last weekend. I had to go the LONG way around.
S-Off -> CID Changed to 11111111 -> Relock bootloader -> Install BM Ginger Bread RUU -> Install BM ICS RUU -> Holics 0.8
Works FINE. I thought everyone else knew.
I could throw together a manual if someone wants to go through it with me.
I rather have official Rom first than custom roms..

So stop once you get to ICS install.

Not sure why you would want a carrier ROM. Rogers is known for all the craptastic bloatware they put in their ROMs, and the updates are slow. Just get one of the stock RUU based ROMs. It's the same thing the carriers base their ROMs on, but no bloat

For one, it's the only way to get the proper radio for your device-carrier combination.
U agree with you..

So still no official Rogers ICS update yet? I'm looking to pickup a Raider for my wife, but the only ones I can find are Rogers and we're with Bell. I'd get an unlocked one to use, but I don't want to have to go wiping the phone again if there isn't already ICS on it for her to learn/use.

The AT&T ICS RUU seems to work fine, as I've been running it for months. Also, more to the point, I meant more why he would want to STAY with the carrier ROM. I understand the purpose of upgrading to the carrier ROM in order to gain the specific radio or HBOOT you need, but after that, drop it like it's hot.
Still no update?

htc vivid

My question is my HTC vivid is carrier unlocked and I want flash custom Rom. Now if I do this will it relock back to att thanks in adavnc
No. It won't.
thanks and i just flashed the blitz rom and it is bootloopin, so i am downloading a ph39img file hopefully that will get it back to at least working
Is your phone S-ON, the kernel may need to be flashed separately from the rom. This may be the cause of your bootloop?

[Q] m7att but can only flash m7ul?

My HTC one is bought from at&t , and I unlocked it with custom recovery and custom ROM yet I received all that by flashing m7ul roms and recoveries not m7att... My phone works completely fine but I can't seem to flash anything intended for m7att it just says my phone is m7ul
Is that a problem? I'm super curious..
