I would like some help as well. I have seen so many ways to root that it makes me nervous to pick which way to go. I've done every thing possible with my galaxy s but this phone the vivid seems difficult. Is there a true super one click for the phone that will give me root. Don't want custom rom. Just root access. Thanks. Htc vivid 4.0.3

I just switched from the captivate to the vivid as well. I feel so lost now, i knew my Cappy inside and out, but with this phone everything seems so complicated. I just want to root the stock rom as well. Ive tried many of the methods but none seem to work.

With any method best to read all the information, wcx has very clear and precise instructions to help you root.
