Visit htcdev.com and follow the steps to unlock the bootloader . HTC has a simple guide which explains step by step process.
Than the simplest way is search for "xda vivid HTC super tool", in google and hopefully one of the links 1/2nd will take you to the right thread in this fourm .
HTC supper tool is easiest way to root your phone . I hope it helps.

Use the Superguide for Rooting
I just rooted my Vivid using the Superguide by Slapshot30. If you follow the guide, you should have no issues rooting.

WELL. If you think you will mess it up(very unlikely) I could do so via Skype if that's okay.

Great idea, I think I will work on doing that!
Ok so a dev made a tool to unlock bootloader, get cwm recovery and basically everything you need. Only thing missing is a simple step on actually perm rooting. So go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1498003 and follow those instructions. Read read read. When you finish unlocking bootloader (probably longest part of the process) you're going to get the cwm recovery which is really easy. Back up your stuff (just read the instructions) then go to the Superguide thread in the dev forum and download the vivid root zip at the bottom of the first post. Stick that bad boy into your ext. Sd card and boot your phone into recover (that tool has a button to do that but if you wanna learn.yourself, just power down, pull battery and inser again, hold power and volume down button until the hboot screen comes up, go to fastboot then recovery). I assume you backed your files and now.you will flash the root by installing zip from ext Sd card and flash the vivid root zip. You are now rooted! Reboot and check your apps for superuser. Yay!

I must say this phone with its locked bootloader is more complex than other phones I've owned! Stick with the supergiude and you'll be fine.

In theory it should be possible. Unfortunately no one has found a way, yet.
I was discussing this some time back with wkpark, but not even him had a good idea.
Just in case someone wants to try:
We need to flash the bootloader and bct, as they belong together.
Hello there after trying to install revolt rom my imei etc seems to have been deleted off the phone ( no idea how)
Any ideas how to fix this if it's even possible?

You would have to be in the bootloader to flash that. Tell me what the name of the file is and I will tell you how to flash it via fastboot.

And thanks a lot really appreciate it :highfive:
I don't even know how to get to the bootloader on this phone though if you could help me with that as well.
Know how to get into recovery and download mode :good:
Hey, forget about the boot loader and download "ktool" from the play store. This app should make it easy for you to restore your backup.

I have also tried. I couldn't even get it to flash. I think the biggest problems is that we don't have a 4.2.2 base for the first yet. If we did it would be so much easier. I am still tinkering but I have a wife and three kids keeping me busy so I'm not getting very far very fast.
If you don't get an error flashing then you are further than I have been able to get. I would love to get this working but not sure how much help I can be.

Only a suggestion, but have you tried porting from the " HTC Evo 4G LTE " like devs did for the " HTC One XL " they manage to get a booting Sense 5 4.1.2, which is a stronger chance for this phone booting since there are no kernel devs that will patch up your kernel for 4.2.2.

Why are you running two simultaneous threads? You'll just get everybody confused. Recommend you stick with one thread so people can follow.

you said you are using TWRP 2.7.0.1. Is there a 2.7.0.1 for the M7_UL? The only one I know is for M7WLS. What is the complete file name of the recovery you have flashed?

I think you might have flashed a wrong recovery (for M7WLS)
try this recovery: http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m7/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
better to md5 check both your rom and recovery before you flash them.
Make sure the rom is for M7_UL variant.
Lets hope your partitions are not screwed...
What difference should this make and what will I have to do next lol

ehh.. ok mate, without any knowledge you can brick your device, why do you trust me? you dont even know me. Can you read just few basics..? im not trying to be rude mate.
You have everything here, i mean everything all your question are here, use search write your error and thats it..
Your frimware must be correct recovery etc, if you dont know what version firmware or recovery you need, open topic with rom and there must be instalation tip.
You are loosing your time when you waiting here for answer.
sry for poor English.

TWRP recovery 2.7.0.1 is probably the M7WLS version not for your phone!
I don't know any 2.7.0.1 version for the M7_UL
So flashing a stable twrp version for your variant is the best move atm (2.6.3.3 or 2.6.3.4)
then try to flash your rom again
clear cache and hopefully it will boot
I know your not being rude mate just i had this phone for 4 days and 3 of them.days I've been stuck with it just need get it working again I've said my problem.and done as people have asked me I spent first day searching for help with this prob and never found any hence why I'm asking for help coz I've got myself stuck
