The easiest way the root your HTC Vivid running ICS and version 3.6 sense it to use hasoon200's excellent all in one toolkit for the HTC Vivid. The toolkit will walk you through each step of the rooting procedure and tell you exactly what you need to do to successfully root your device. Let me know if you still have questions.
Thank you I found the toolkit in question and your right it worked like a charm thank you

Ok soo ive been an android user since the htc dream i just got the my touch 4G from tmob and I hate the stock apps and I would love to have a better simple yet slick rom
So I did some research on google and I found a app thats suppost give you permanent root and turn off s
Its called "Visionary plus"
I wanna know if it works and if I still have todo adb commands via pc or just terminal app
Any feed back is welcome
Thanks in advance

It works as you need VISIONary+ to obtain TempROOT. So after that by running WPX script the WP is disabled for emmc. So you can push eng_hboot and turn S=OFF to gain PermROOT.
Make sure your on Stock2.2.1Sense as GB2.3.4Sense has issues as you can't use rage exploit any more, so look in to Gingerleak.

Search for a rooting guide here:

The steps are very easy to follow.
If you have a question, just keep reading the posts.
Someone's already asked and someone's already answered.
BUT if you can't find an answer. Msg me I'd more than happy to help.
Its easy. Just read the instructions and take you time. Lots of pros with a rooted phone....titanium backup, faster, newer roms, etc.....better battery life is one thing. I use faux's AOSP 1.2.8 and its silky smooth.
Rooted/OC'd/1.2.8
ya this is how i rooted, pretty easy

That depends on person to person. I myself can't use a device without radio security disabled. As S=off does have its advantages but even in awake of all the BS that I discovered regarding our Glacier after spending close to 1K on it I would still root it. As I did few times and ill do it again as no risk no game.

Greetings,
long story short I was doing some test on ROMs went to CM7 and other version then blackout ICS but all fails with me since CM doesn't have Internet-pass through and BK ICS has hotspot and VoIP problems + some lacking, so I went back to RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_ARA_3.13.415.2_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_227469_signed
which made me lose my root but comes with Android version 2.3.5, for rooting it tired to use SuperOneClickv2.3.3-ShortFuse , unlook root 2.4.2 and finaly aahk-11092012, the first 2 didn't work out with, on the other hand AAHK made it root..etc but with a cost that have to downgrade to 2.3.3, so I'm back to square one is how to root 2.3.5 without down grading?
I believe i have something missing and I don't know what it it.
I have read these before posting

Just to let you know once again this is the HTC legend forum you wont find answers for any other phone unless someone who uses the legend forum also has the same phone as you, so you are better off asking your question in the correct forum.

I wonder if setting S-off would help the camera problem i am having with my One. I posted the problem a few minutes ago. My question is what is S-On or S-off mean? I saw when I was rooting my phone and flashing a custom kernel....
Can I ask what the two of you are even talking about ? I don't think you know .
No htc phone requires soff it's optional thing when available .And not always easy to achieve with HTC.You must gain an unlocked bootloader before you can root once you unlock and root you then can soff if it's been achieved for the specific device that one is attempting soff with.
It has nothing to do with needing it for root or needing it at all, soff just gives us the complete total control to flash kernels roms and a ton more of tech stuff.

Thanks for the real answer. My One is unlocked, rooted, and running ElementalX kernel. Don't know if S is on or off or even how to change it from one to the other

You can't change soff or s on the way u think .It's not anything to do with what you are thinking.
Soff is very hard to achieve it takes great minds to do so . This is why HTC is greatly difficult to hack over the Samsung devices .
You don't need soff so stop worrying about it .trust me ,cause the HTC one is like the nexus models they work the same soff isn't needed really where as any other HTC soff phone is needed to flash roms in there entirety.
Without soff on most HTC phones you have to flash roms in pieces like boot.img has to be done from a pc before flashing the rom ,whereas the One can still do all that with s On.

I've rooted a few of my previous phones, but my DNA is getting slow on me.
Have had the DNA since it came out, but never got around to fixing it up. I'm really out of the loop, so I need to be schooled again.
I want the speed back in my DNA, what's the best method? Thanks!
*Originally posted this to a different forum when I was reminded of these forums, so to be hasty I just copy pasted my question. Hope to get some feedback while I'm browsing through these forums to try and find my answer.
Are you on the newest update? Are you unlocked? The best way is to either flash a custom ROM and kernel or just flash a custom kernel on your stock ROM.

Check your software version, if you have 3.06.605.4 you will need to head over to Rumrunner.us and follow their procedures and it will fully unlock/s-off your device for you and you will be able to flash w/e you want.

My software is version 3.06.605.4-2.08.605.1...which is the same to a point, so I'm not sure. This the same one you're talking about?
To s-off you need to use the rum runner exploit
Head to rumrunner.us download the exploit for the dna and follow the simple instructions.
From there you will be unlocked and s-off so you can flash a recovery and flash a custom rom to speed up your phone again.

Long time viper user here. I suggest doing viper as it is close to stock but has the tons of tweaks you would want to make it how you want. I am currently running the blackout GPE ROM to see if I like it, but always will have a nand of Viper as it runs best on this phone.
