OK, so... Vivid Root?

**fonewiz** · 11-07-2011, 01:23 PM

I doubt ATT is gonna let is get the bootloader unlocked. That's still up to the carrier. We will have to wait on revolutionary or something similar.

HTC will unlock the bootloader within 30 days of the launch. According to the HTC rep, will probably be within a couple days though.

If this phone is root able I am so in! Where did the info come, regarding a couple of days?

**Thraeryn** · 11-21-2011, 08:59 PM

Here's hoping something opens up with this device soon. Friend of mine has one, and I was almost offended by its newness and lack of root.

Danged newer devices!

**CeasareBorgia** · 11-25-2011, 04:33 PM

So, what is the hold up?

**draztikrhymez** · 11-29-2011, 03:20 PM

It has a temp root.

I may have to switch from Sprint to AT&T soon so I am interested in this thread. Ping. In case someone posts when it is truly rooted. Thanks.

I would hope that root is available by christmas, thats when i plan to get mine

**Vetdoctor** · 11-30-2011, 06:48 AM

Temp root yes, so what happens if you're forced too reboot away from a desktop. You've deleted Samsung's ROM and now the one you've downloaded had list root. Are you starting at a blank screen?

Then what's the average time developers to Getty from temp root to permanent?

**E.2da.D** · 12-16-2011, 01:08 AM

Still no permanent root? :confused

**gsleon3** · 12-27-2011, 11:12 PM

Confused? What, you think that you just open the source code & a magic key to root falls out of your rear? Why don't you read & learn & contribute to the process? As far as I know, only one guy at evil_DevNull is even really risking his device to develop a root/s-off exploit hack.

Yes we have root now

**knighthawk321** · 05-16-2012, 06:45 PM

Did you use the XDA method, or, if not, what did you use?

I used this tool ([TOOL] HTC Vivid All-In-One Toolkit V2.1 [3-25-2012] [PERM ROOT] [Noob-Proof]) to root my vivid but it did not work. My phone is unlocked but when i try to install rooted apps, it says that the apps do not have root access. The root deleted all my info and i need to restore them. what should i do?
