The root zip didn't work right though so I used the HTC Super Tool to get root.
Yessiree indeed. I unlocked on HTCdev this morning, running CWM now. Use the Bell/Raider version here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1343625
You just need to bring up cmd prompt and navigate to the folder where you extracted the zip and run the command from there.

this doesn't work for me... i run ADB fromt he folder like instructed and .... nothing... there is no where to enter the fastboot command.
just to verify... Nandroid backups work on the vivid with this CWM?
Haven't tried a nandroid yet. Will try it shortly though.
See my post above. You don't need anything with adb. Open cmd prompt and navigate to the folder where you extracted the zip and run the command from there.
yeah, works fine through command prompt... in my desire to get CWM and Nandroid, I didn't realize that the instructions were less than clear on that step... should have remembered.
To Confirm... Nandroid works... though it did hang for a bit, it did finally wake up and complete.

I think it's just ATT Navigator having a ginormous database. Mine's hanging there right now.
When you extracted it puts it in a folder called fastboot or something like that. I just took all of the files out of that folder and put them in the main folder I was using or you can just navigate to that specific folder. I hope that made sense. I'm fairly certain that is your problem.
Instructions (with tips added by Aus_azn)
-Unlock bootloader through htcdev.com, follow its instructions to the letter.
-Boot into H-Boot using Volume Down+Power and select Fastboot by tapping the power button again.
-Download adbfastbootrecovery.zip
-Extract file contents to "C:\Android" (created during the bootloader unlock process)
-Open CMD (do not need administrator privileges), type in "cd C:\Android" without the quotes and hit enter.
-Type in Fastboot flash recovery root_recovery.img and wait for it to finish.
-Boot the phone, enable USB Debugging in Settings->Applications->Development. Plug in USB and put it in Disk Drive.
-Put VIVID_CWM_ROOT.zip file on root of internal sdcard (HTC_STORAGE)
-Boot into H-Boot using Volume Down+Power and select Recovery by tapping the power button again.
-Select install zip from sdcard.
-Select VIVID_CWM_ROOT.zip.
-Reboot.

Not in its full capacity, but I just use it as a way to get to recovery mode quickly and easily while not on my computer anyway.
Unable to flash root_recovery.img
I was able to root my HTC Raider using the HTC Super tool. However, I am unable to flash the root_recovery.img in order to have CWM. Every time I try to flash it, I get the following error"
unknown partition 'root_recovery.img'
error: cannot determine image filename for 'root_recovery.img'
Any help would be appreciated.
