*See here for Vivid root progress*

Hey guys, our own GSLEON3 has just started working with EvilDevnull. Evil has a pretty good track record with being able to exploit devices, so I think we might be in luck. However, EvilDevnull was banned from XDA for reasons I won't go into. So please, do not link his site, but you are allowed to link his twitter. TO FIND HIS SITE, google "s-off think tank" and you will find his forum with his name in the url. Register with the forum and you are in. Recently, Evil was only working on the HTC Rezound but GSLEON3 was able to get him to add a Vivid section on the forum since the two devices are so alike. So check in on the Vivid or Rezound sub forums to see what's going on. This thread is for root discussion only, please do not start drama about Evil or you may face the consequences with a mod.

Very cool. Thank you for the update. Just signed up

Thanks slapshot30. Things are going in the right direction

Hoping to learn more and more specifically learn enough to help with rom development...
I'm a Web Developer by trade, but pretty excited about the 'Holiday', finally being a real device.

Excellent!!!

I am really dissapointed because this is the first HTC phone I get that I can not modify to my like. I like it hardware wise but miss the overclocking and twicking and so. I just wish it was rooted. So I am going to fork some cash for a moto razr from local carrier that has the same freq than Ma Bell and put this baby In its box until its been rooted. I like it enough to hold on to it and I realy don't like the Sammys, I remember my cappi being unstable and feeling like a chinesse counterfeit of a nicer product.
The razr is rooted so Ill have Enough

s2 has subpar display.. atrix hd has amazing build quality as well

no.
no roms
assuming that guy didn't root prior to updating, no root

Ask if it is on ICS if yes then go ahead because ICS is root able and you can keep root also there are rom s in the dev section of this place

Trade-In for AHD

AT&T valued it for $48. That's good enough because I've been wanting an iPhone 4s for some time now and it's only $100 for a new one and $50 for refurbished (2yr agreement and all that.) , and I was willing to go to the ATT store and do a swap. BUT, I don't think I can because my dad just told me it's under contract. Is it still possible to switch the phones and pay the difference in the balance or would I have to terminate and get the 4s under a new 2yr contract?

Off contract HTC ONE deals.

I got mine on a humbug search on craigslist. Person had plenty for $400. At first I'm thinking BS. This will be a scam trying to send me link once I respond. Nope. She let me buy a brand new HTC ONE for $370. Was definitely not expecting that. I was just looking at one on Amazon for $630 with my employee discount. But didn't bite. What was your best off contract deal for the ONE?

Sounds a little too good to be true. Probably, she's going to open a line, get it for $200, then cut it off, which might leave you with a bad ESN. Be careful.

Which phones, you mean something like a Motorola StarTAC?
Nowadays phones have incredible razor thin profit margins. It cost HTC around that much money to even make the ONE.
As far as the text message goes, who knows if he what he was selling and you was attempting to buy. It could have been a phone but which phone?
You might have gotten a good deal but I'm pretty sure that phone isn't on the up and up.

Sure its on your account now. But if or when a retailer finds out the phone was back doored they could call Sprint and the phone will obviously be traced back to you. So you're not out the clear yet.

AT&T Moto X future possibility question

Sorry i am just starting to use android and I'm kind of a noob. I used an iPhone before I got my moto x. I love the phone but I really want to root it. So I was wondering Would it be possible to unlock the boot loader in the future without using motorolas unlock tool basically to bypass the restrictions placed by att.
Thanks in advance for the answer to my noob question.
