Awesome, we should get root soon!
Here's the kicker, sources ain't worth a Damn unless the bootloader is unlocked, and otherwise you'll just be able to do emulation only... I'm trying the htc bootloader unlocker one last time

Time to try, myself.
Would a vivid with an unlocked boot loader help? Or we wouldn't be able to work backwards...

Hopefully this sparks something. This forum is looking like a ghost town . I suppose there isn't much to talk about without root, but I wonder how many people that would've contributed to the Vivid have already moved on.

The only things I plan to use permaroot for is permanently killing the bloatware (including CIQ), AdFree, Nandroid backup, using an international Raider stock ROM and SetCPU underclocking for battery life.
Hmm, come to think about it, that's actually a reasonably long list.
Blah, HTCdev, Y U NO WORK? Maybe the removal of the message could be heralding that something is coming...

In AT&T's letter to Al Franken they mentioned CIQ was disabled on the Vivid and skyrocket because of performance issues when activated, even though it's dormant, and I still want it out. Having the source allows us to tinker with the rom ahead of time so we can build roms before bootloader unlock takes place
You figure most roms are tested via emulation before they are made flashable, these forums will be picking up real shortly, Therefore a bootloader unlock is not far away especially since they released source on the vivid.
I am currently "experimenting" with source. I hope to release a rom after the bootloader unlock and a stable method of permanent root has surfaced on AT&T Vivid Hardware.

Cool to release it so soon. It might be their way of saying "it's AT$T, not us" to unlocked bootloader.

AT&T has no say so in GPL....releasing source code does NOT guarantee anything. they HAVE to release source code as mandated in GPL.

The way it seems to be portrayed on that other dev site, GSLeon is making some pretty good progress; his last post was a few days ago saying that results are coming "in a few days".
Let's hope he's not trolling.

keep in mind if you're getting a One X and it comes with 2.20 on it, there's no root available yet. So it doesn't matter how many devs they have for the device, until they achieve root you won't be able to use any of their stuff.

yep so the vivid is currently looking like a better option LOL
Got the Vivid when it first came out - this phone can't help but create mixed feelings:
Cons:
- Phone is heavy
- Battery life so-so, especially now that LTE is active
- Difficulty to unlock the phone means limited developers
Pros:
- Nice big screen with good quality (at full-brightness, nearly as good as S3 or HTC One X)
- Good camera and GPS (coming from the Captivate which was disastrous in both lol)
- Has FM radio, external SD cards and removable batteries - most of the top Android phones these days are missing at least one of these
The difficulty to develop is probably the biggest downside, but after almost a year I've finally dived into custom ROMs. Unlocked the bootloader, got S-Off thanks to the wire trick, even SIM Unlocked! Using Holis ROM, which is great, should tide me over until next spring when I'm eligible for an upgrade.
So in conclusion, while the Vivid was subpar under GB, since ICS came out it's been really nice. But I certainly wouldn't recommend anyone buying this phone unless it was cheap.
What is a vivid. Its not available in the UK

Can't unlock the att one x (xl) without super cid which requires root. 2.20 has no root, so no HTCdev unlock. Att won't allow the bootloader to be unlocked
The intl one x as well as the s and v are htcdev unlockable

I think it's either called the Raider or the Velocity in the UK. As far as I know, it's Raider in Canada (I can confirm that one at least since I own one), and Velocity in Aus/NZ.

Already have boot loader unlocked and running a custom with 2.20 loving this phone just can't wait to get the one x + or if they make a nexus 4 with 32gig like that did the nexus 7 I'll get betting that instead so I'm just going to wait a few months or so and see what happens

It was a good run, but I think I'm going to retire my Vivid and get a One X+. Thanks to all the devs who continued to support the phone, after the situation. It's been great guys, thanks for making a great community around this little phone.
I can get the HTC One with Vodafone Branding for 360 Euro .. I haven't had a branded device before,
what are the downsides besides no OTA from HTC?
Is there a way to unbrand the phone?
You can root mate to get rid of branded bloatware. If not though your limited to carrier pushed out updates and if they do the cid way again regardless of if your rooted or not your stuffed
Shouldn't stop you getting it though. Hopefully HTC won't do the cid way again

They always do the cid way if there is carrier bloat. Because it's the carrier pushing out the software not HTC
Just hope for s-off or supercid

How likely will there be supercid or s-off?
For 360 it is a good deal, so I would be ready to take a small risk haha

The devices with sd cards are easier to exploit to begin with, especially the Qualcomm ones
They also recently found a common exploit with the Qualcomm processors
Since the one will have a Qualcomm processor we can hope a similar exploit is found

My suggestion to all is to never buy a phone (besides a nexus) that you aren't happy to have with the stock software, just in case

That is how I felt about it, but it's a bargain for a great phone with already awesome software
I can wait for custom roms or go without

unlocking the bootloader let's you mess with the /system, flashing kernel & recovery partition(using a PC only). Setting the phone to S-Off let's you flash kernels, baseband/radio, recovery, hboot(through your phone directly), Super CID I'd like to know also. This CID thing just came out on the One series so no idea what is it.
CID is HTC's way to differentiate between carrier and regional devices, also that's how they push updates and they started CIDs a while ago...

Hallo
If HTC doesn't offer current HTC One owners the choice of converting our phone to a Nexus experience HTC One, what are the prospect of someone with a Nexus experience HTC One can make the image available for us to download and put on our devices?

I definitely think that will somehow work. HTC has no reason altering the hardware, they can't afford any more negative criticism.

What does the term "s off" refer to?

Security off. Allows for write access to the radio and bootloader parts of the internal memory. With security on (S-ON) but with the bootloader unlocked, you have write access to the system, boot and recovery parts.
Isn't this just basically flashing a custom ROM to the phone only buying it instead?

Long story short...
I have an Att HTC ONE M7 (black) that was jtaged and won't let me unlock or use any SIM card. (Security check to modem , need a patch to bypass the check) So tired of trying to find a fix.
I also have a Sprint HTC ONE M7** variant. Completely worthless Sprint pile of sh_t! and tried to unlock to gsm about to go outside and run over it with my lawnmower!
So can I use the daughter board(AT&T) and motherboard(Sprint)
They are both snapdragon 600 1.7 ghz
Exact same thing. I'm gonna research it but if it's possible I'm going for it..
Unless my problem is in the daughterboard(AT&T) thats causing my problem. Thoughts?

Fairly certain the radio chips are soldered onto the board. Considering the two carriers use completely different radios, I'd still bet no.
Actually your 50% correct...
The modem die is in the motherboard
the antenna etc; is in the daughterboard.
Physical antenna is actually in the back cover sorta
