So I unlocked via HTCdev and then rooted with the Hasson2000 (I think that's what it's called?) all-in-one toolkit. So I am still S-On. Downloaded ROM Manager. Flashed CWM with ROM manager. Tried to backup using ROM Manger. After choosing backup phone gets stuck at white HTC screen on reboot. I battery-pulled and started normally and it works fine.

Sidenote: ROM Manager lists the backup, but I'm not sure it would actually work? What do you guys think?

Now, the problem is that I can't seem to boot into any type of recovery! I tried to boot into recovery by selecting it in ROM manager, but I get stuck at the same HTC screen. Then I tried to manually boot into recovery with HBOOT. I get to HBOOT, but when I select recovery it gets stuck on the HTC screen again!

I was reading through the forums and I think I saw someone with a similar problem. Someone suggested that the phone needs to be relocked (which I have not done) and use RUU. I'm still a noob to this, and I have no idea what RUU even is. Any explanation of that would be helpful. Do you think this solution would work for me?

NVM problem fixed by simply flashing CWM v5.5.0.4 For some reason ROM Manager gave me 5.0.2.7
 
I never liked CWM for my Vivid, I mean, it was easy to use, but it was buggy. I use a custom recovery. Works better.
