http://androidcommunity.com/htc-amaze-4g-gets-permanent-one-click-root-20111020/
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.

Doesn't matter, just get the fastboot code and it will generate a working unlock code.

*PLEASE*, join us on IRC at #htc-holiday on freenode. We will help you to get what we need off of it, and this may very well lead us to a complete root / S-Off. I am IanWizard, and also, IOMonster, or any of the other users that are listed as "voiced" can help you, or put you in contact with us. This is very incredible. We hope to see you soon.

please share what s-off means, sim unlocked?
When rooting i think mine said off as well. Don't quote me on that will check and report back.
Don't have the phone with me.

Cruising through but s-off means security off. You can write to certain partitions like the radio ect which you can't do with HTC unlock
Sent from my Warm 3.5 Evo using XDA app
OMG!
!!Thank you!!
...I don't care how you got it - you have S-OFF on your phone!
**begins to drool**
..I wish I was a dev. Good luck to all those who are about to work on this - all the guys like me are looking forward to playing with the spoils of your labors..lol. If only I knew linux, I'd be glad to help.
So, here's some information that I've gathered from jcase so far about your phone...
It would appear that you have Radio S-OFF, which is great news for you and you only right now.
Basically, it means that you have full access to your /system partition and almost everything else without using the HTCDev unlock tool. Any root you attempt will stick just fine.
Some background information, as I understand it to be:
HBOOT gets it's s-on or s-off status by querying the radio and asking for the "secuflag" (might be "secflag"-- just going off the top of my memory). Once HBOOT receives it's answer, it proceeds to either lock or leave unlocked certain partitions.
All this is to say that the only thing different between your phone and say, mine, is the radio config partition where "secuflag" is stored. The problem lies in the fact that on our devices, we can't access the radio config partition (as far as I know) to manually set that flag.
However, it is possible that just having a copy of your radio config partition could lead to some interesting discoveries in regards to where the flag is and what value it should be set to if we wish to try it on our phones.
Either way, it'd be great if you could stop by #htc-holiday and ping me (IOMonster) or IanWizard on IRC. What you have could potentially be a huge help to us-- or just a special bonus for you and you alone
Thanks!
I just pray this leads to a full s-off method. I don't wanna root my Vivid until s-off is achieved. Too used to flashing with s-off from my Inspire.

Woow. S-off vivid. How did you got it or make it to s-off. I have an AT&T htc jetstream and want to s-off. Is there anyone can help me to unlock the secuflag on vivid and jetstream? I hate that at&t firmware.

Maybe HTC is getting tired of us harrasing them and leaked this? Cause they ... Care about Devs ....
Who wants to be able to flash completely from your phone without fastbooting the kernel?
Looks lot closer now.

s-off isnt available. You dont need s-off to flash roms and kernels. You need root and your bootloader unlocked. Plenty of threads about how. look for hasoons toolkit.

This post is a little dead but I'd like to seek clarification at what exactly you can and can't do with S-on/off. It's still a little fuzzier there. Perhaps some concrete examples?

Nice, thanks for the link JoeDoe.
So s-off will be essential in playing with the radio bands, among a bunch of other stuff. Predictions on how long it takes our amazing devs to bust through s-on? (o:
The unrevoked did not give me s-off and other ideas. Thanks.
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda app-developers app
i don't think it is for the One
in time you will probably get it, but quicker and like the One S you'll get radio installers like Tecardo's and MrHydes that require no s-off. Some put the radio into System partition a way to bypass not having s-off
One S has no s-off but with these tools from the devs, no problem

Unrevoked is not for this device. It was initially developed for Evo 4g (unrEVOked). That thread was linked for clarification of ramifications of s-off. Generally you need s-off to update radios.

did you expect them to say anything less? basically what they are saying is "we believe our consumers are too stupid to modify or otherwise personalize their devices, so as a result we have prevented you from access all software on your phone for your own good"
It reminds me of Liar Liar, "That's just something ugly people say to feel better about themselves."

I'm debating about unlocking my phone and instal a Rom right now or wait and see. I usually root all phones but I was one of those dumbasses that flashed my EVO 3D with the virgin mobile version. Lucky me I didn't have most of the side effects people were complaining about. I just had the VM banners and some times text messages errors, but CM 10.1 make it go away.
Anyone have any cons about unlocking my phone and flash a rom right now or wait until we get S-Off if (ever happens).

No cons from me. I unlocked and rooted within hours of purchasing. Have been on ViperROM for a couple of weeks now. I'm loving it.

you just need to unlock and install either twrp or cwm recovery.
From what I've read this really isn't a big deal. Nexus devices are not S-Off either. All this prevents you from flashing are the radio and bootloader which are not usually modified.

True, although for asop, aokp. and other open source roms a different bootloader maybe required. For the evo 3d the ics bootloader that installed with the firmware from the ota would give bootloops if a asop or aokp rom was flashed.if as a user you would never flash anything other than custom roms for your current version of android then yes an unlocked bootloader is all you need. Another example was the htc flyer. That device shipped with gingerbread when htc released the ota for honeycomb every user was in a hurry to install it, many had flashers remorse and wished to go back to gingerbread. With s-on they were out of luck.
This phone has features we may never see in aosp. I'm holding off on that. Nothing wrong with sense5 though honestly, its way better than any previous versions so far

Incorrect. You need to flash a superuser app and its binaries as well.
this zip is supposed to turn off read/write protection Sprint_One_Root_Disable_System_RW_Protection (1).zip
I was thinking we are a rare bunch of folks that are control freaks that root our phones.
But it amazes me to see things like Titanium Backup, Root Explorer, ROM Manager apps very near the highest volume Android Apps in the Market !!!
These are obviously "Root" user apps.
Maybe it's because we wipe our phones so often we distort the statistics
I love how they say they don't allow s-off because of "warranty" reasons yet at the bottom of the page it says unlocking your device will render the warranty void. #likewhat

This is somewhat false. The reason it was causing boot loops was because of the boot.img not flashing properly. It was required when the hboot got updated that we used a process such as "HTC dumblock" to flash the boot.img. Currently for our Ones we are fine because the hboot will allow proper flashing of the boot.img yet in the past, some future updates have blocked this feature. I for one will always want s-off. It gives me full control

that's not correct, they will see that you've unlocked the bootloader... anyway if you root the phone it MAY void your warranty... hardware problems should be still covered by warranty
This has been asked many times. As a safe answer, yes rooting voids your warranty. But its not as simple as that, and it all depends on local consumer laws. In the UK HTC would have to prove that rooting caused the fault in order to reject a warranty repair. In theory only if you brick your device HTC should have the right to deny a repair. In practice they can come up with any excuse for any fault (e.g. your screen doesn't work anymore because you rooted, change to a ROM that modified parameters that caused the screen to fail etc.). And no, if you root and unroot, your bootloader status will be RE-LOCKED instead of LOCKED, so they will know if you previously rooted the device and could still deny a repair.

Dude if you mess with your phone with rooting or flashing other roms be prepared to have your warranty voided. That's the risk you take. Unrooting isn't magically going to bring the warranty back.

I believe he means, he 're-locked the bootlloader and either put stock back on through an RUU or he just installed a stock looking Rom.
If you unlocked your boot loader through revone odds are your warranty is fine! If you used the HTC website then your warranty MAY be void.
Best thing to do, is just run a RUU, and send it in. Some people have sent in their devices S-off and Unlocked.
