[TOOL] Temporary Root Batch with Latest Superuser (Not Working) - HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity

Hey folks. Anyone on a Windows PC can test out this batch tool for temporary rooting the HTC Vivid. Tell me if you encounter any errors!What is this?
This is a batch file for Windows computers that will install the zergRush temporary root binary, and then install the latest Superuser binary and application from ChainsDD.​Download
Click Here​Instructions
Install the HTC drivers.
Allow "Unknown Sources" on your device: Settings >> Applications
Download the zergRush root package.
Plug your HTC Vivid device into your computer.
We recommend using back-of-the-computer USB ports. They tend to be more power reliable.
Place your device in "Charge only" mode.
Enable USB debugging in Settings >> Applications >> Development.
Extract the zergRush root package.
Install “install.bat”
Congratulations! You’ve achieved temporary root.

Hmm I can't get this to work, I just keep getting a bunch of permission denied errors or no such file or directory. Do I need to run the install.bat from a specific location? Should my phone be on charge only?

Yes it should be charge only. Could you try it in "charge only" mode and get back to me? If that doesn't work, I will attempt to fix any problems.
If you can, send a screenshot of the errors. Thanks!

Aye yai yai. I need to test this on a real device and see what I can do.

Hi Ken, I remember you from the Atrix 4g forums. Do you know when you will be able to test on a real device? Are you getting the Vivid?

We'll see if I get the Vivid. I'm getting a Skyrocket tomorrow, but I'll probably only have it for a couple of weeks.

Just so everyone know, the HTC Vivid was released with a dropped price of only US $99 on a 2-year activation. That's a killer price for this awesome phone. 200% better than the Samsung Skyrocket IMO, which costs $50 bucks more. I'm sure root for the Vivid is coming soon ...

That's only for people in certain markets....northern California, New York, & a few more, so don't get you're hopes up everyone!!!

kenn's here!
yay!
I love my vivid even more now!

No, you only get that price online if you put in the zip code from one of those special markets, otherwise it shows full price. Sometimes you can work the system a bit to get that price outside those markets (Fooling the website, convincing a corp store or best buy to price match, etc.), but that's hit or miss. Check some of the other threads in this forum for more info (Just so we can try to keep this thread on topic)

I think they made it system wide, I am in an area where a lot of people still don't have 3G and it's available locally for $99.00 on-line in our zip code.

I'm in Michigan and paid $199 with a 2 year contract

I live in Korea and got the HTC Raider a couple weeks ago. It is supposedly being released as the HTC Holiday in the US.

Thanks a lot in advance!
hey, buddy. kinda like only in your country has both the raider and 9100, so how do you think about the two? and how do you like the raider?
Is the Korean version of the Raider unlocked? I live in Hong Kong - been trying to find a parallel import version but it seems impossible....
just got the rogers version of the raider... sad there's no root for it yet
Htc vivid aka raider/holiday has almost same specs but comes in black or white with a 1.2 ghz processor and its coming to the us november 6. Whats everyones reviews? Good, bad or go with the galaxy s 2?
I for the Bell version of HTC raider , it is blazing fast...I was able to clock 8.15mbps in lte mode. I was move on between LTE/HSPA+/HSPA/Wf-fi flawlessly.
its a great device
Not sure how to get the forum going for this device

So what made u cross over to the htc raider? Im coming from my first android phone in the htc inspire 4g which im enjoying but i am ready for an upgrade and im stuck between the galaxy s2 skyrocket and the htc vivid from AT&T.
Went for the Raider/vivid due to dual channel hspa +
Sent from my HTC-X710a using XDA App
Dual channel hspa+ , notification light, LTE, since its a HTC phone once its rooted you can get beats audio on it.
Thought about waiting for the nexus but don't know if its dual channel hspa + yet and like having 16gb built in and the option for additional storage (have a 32gb micro SD)

Koreans already rooted the Raider/Vivid
a guy in the korean htc forum made a permanent rooting tool for it
which means that my raider is rooted

Im not super android literate, i know theres different types of root from what ive read. i was able to temp root it using zergs one root method. It would revert back to non rooted status after restart. i unlocked my bootloader and applied this method afterwards and the phone is still rooted. i am able to use setcpu etc but most importantly titanium backup which i love. hopefully this helps some

But my question remains. I want to find out if I CAN update being on another network besides at&t. When updates are available. For instance, what does a person get who IS on at&t get when they tell it to check for updates. I get "server error".
Will these updates (assuming there will be some) be downloadable from the internet or does one have to be registered with at&t?
To put it to you simply, if you are using an unlocked AT&T device on another carrier. I don't think you will be able to get any AT&T pushed updates for your device. I might be wrong, but I don't think you'd be able to get it running on a carrier other than AT&T with one of their devices.

Well, it works perfectly as a phone and for data and it is locked and not rooted. Since the mvno leases from at&t it works fine.
But I suspect I will never be able to get updates so I am considering selling it unless I can find a way around this. Even though it can now be rooted and it can be unlocked, if the updates are only pushed to registered at&t users and can never be downloaded or sent as regular files, then I am screwed.
ANY other thoughts or ideas, anyone?

I know there are no guarantees in life, but in your best estimate, do you think they will be locked in any way (check to see if it is on AT&T network or some other silly stuff) and that I should be able to use them? Is there a post of the current factory rom anywhere?
I ask all this because I like the Vivid, but I only have 3 days to return it if I am going to.

99.99% sure we will have an RUU available when there is an update. this means it is not dependent on the network updates, but you can install the update from your computer.
100% sure you will see roms on here of the updates....
i wouldnt worry about 'updates' when you are on XDA

Glad to hear this. Thought I was going to have to downgrade to a samsung unlocked.http://media.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
If your rooted, regardless of carrier, you don't need to worry about updates. The updates will be provided by the devs. Whether it be an RUU or incorporated into their ROM update.
Edit: Sorry, I should've provided this info earlier. Major brain-muffin. Lol

I will probably root soon, but I am waiting for a bit of maturity on the customs roms.
Yeah, that'll take some time. The ROMs that ya'll do have, are currently being worked through for bugs and the like. Seeing as how some were already there for the Raider as it was the first to be unlocked. With the Vivid now unlocked, those ROMs that were for the Raider are being updated to allow them to be flashed on the Vivid. In the next few months we should see some more ROMs get produced as more devs come to the Vivid.

Stuck on 2.2.2. Will I be forever ?

I just got a lg revo brand new from eBay and it seems to be stuck on 2.2.2. I did a master restore and it had an update which I thought was 2.3, but I guess it was just a spammer 2.2 update. Will I ever get 2.3 or am I stuck on 2.2? I read on a lg forum that the 2.3 update is no longer on Verizon's servers.

To answer the original question, you will likely get the update eventually. I was talking to a verizon rep for a while (about a separate problem) and they mentioned that they push out the updates in stages ie not everyone at once. They do that to prevent overloading their servers unnecessarily.
If you don't want to do the manual (tot file) method you could try calling them and asking for it. There is a method they can walk you through to manually make your phone "ask the server" for the update. You jsut might have to work up to "level 2" tech support to get it...
(I've spent WAY too much time on the phone with tech support...)
I spent over 6 hours on the phone with tech support & was told to have the phones replaced. I got to 2nd tier & then the supervisor... Just got the phones Feb 2nd & they told me that they could not guarantee any updates for 90 days.... Said "Screw it", got the .tot file & burned it, then rooted, then Gingervolted.... SOOOOOOOOO MUCH HAPPIER !!!!!!

Wow.. It could have been that they offered me the update because they'd already sent me 2 replacement phones that still had the reboot constantly problem... Who knows... It could just depend on who you talk to I suppose.
I also went with gingervolt, despite eating my battery I absolutely love it. The speed increase and lack of bing alone make it worthwhile!

HTC Vivid QPST Download Mode

Does anyone have any knowledge of working QPST? I bricked (yes I take full blame) my g/f's Vivid while trying to update to ICS. Just like various others on here it appears everything has been deleted from the phone....including the bootloader. But after a couple of days of working with it I have finally been able to get windows to recognize and install the qualcomm drivers. I have installed the latest copy of QPST and it recognizes the phone on com6 in download mode.
Does anyone have ANY IDEAS?? The sad thing for me is I traded my g/f's iPhone to get her this Vivid....so there is no way to exchange it under warranty. Any help would be appreciated.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
QPST is for very very low level nand access, it can even change the partition tables, if i were u i would be EXTREMELY carefull using it.
I understand the dangers of using QPST......but being the phone is already bricked and there doesn't seem to be any way to resolve the issue without sending the phone back to HTC, I am willing to try. So, I ask again, does anyone know how to use QPST??
RIFF box is the only option!! I guess
I am online checking out the RIFF box....have you already ordered one?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
No i dont , But I have a friend who does, else I wil just take it to Local HTC , im sure they can fix it !!!
Riffbox doesnt support our chipset.
You need to find the hex files for download mode in QPST and go from there.
OK. Do you have ANY idea where those can be found?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
PMed.
To anyone looking for answers towards the QPST route:
Start googleing, I haven't the slightest clue where you'll come across the .hex files for our phone.
For anyone hoping that Riffbox will soon support our chipset:
I wouldn't hold my breath, HTC has started to implement "JTAG fuses" (Kinda like on the Xbox) so even if it was supported, your chance of JTAG access is very unlikely.

In otherwords, we don't have the phone firmware required (.hex and .mbn files which I neglected to put in my previous post). The Sensation, on the other hand, does.
Sensation firmware =/= Vivid firmware
Hi Travis , can we be atleast sure that HTC can fix it !!! I hope its not beyond REPAIR LOL
Bring the whole phone back to AT&T (at one of their warranty centers), you should at least have a one year warranty. Tell them that one day it just stopped working.
Even though your warranty may be voided, they won't be able to find that out if it's bricked. If they want to find out, they'd have to unbrick it first.
So, one of two things may happen:
1) They will not ask any questions and replace the phone.
2) They will put it under a deeper inspection, unbrick it, and say that they can't go any further because of the unlocked bootloader (but, the phone will not be bricked anymore and they'll just give it back to you).
This is only a theory haha, don't quote me and say it didn't work.
hope a fix can be found soon, I have one too

did you send the phone to them? did you got it back? did you had to pay anything?

Might buy this. Opinions on it?

Your guys thoughts on it? What should I expect, and how easy is it to unlock? I have past experience in unlocking and flashing stuff, as I'm coming from the Xperia Play.
EDIT - Didn't think of this when posting it, but how about some unlocked ROMs too. Preferably running at the latest Android version and is nice and fast but good battery life.
Its a nexus. Very easy to unlock, root, and install loads of custom roms and kernels.
However its rumored that there might be a new model announced soon. Something is happening June 10th. I'd advise to wait till then at least.
Otherwise the current N7 is awesome.

I was also coming from the Xperia PLAY when i bought this tablet, i think about 2 months ago.
It was agood choice!
You get always the latest updates and there are a lot of great mods on the forum!
If you're coming from the Xperia Play than it's almost similar. With the Nexus 7 you can go into fastboot without your Windows/Mac/Linux. Just press the power button and the volume down button and you're into fastboot. The best tool to unlock/root/recovery is Wug's Nexus toolkit. And i've you're searchin' for an awesome experience then go for Paranoid Android and Franco.Kernel!
Yea man, it's a nexus, all new android content will either originate here or immediately be ported to us. It's incredible for the price. I might be jaded though, seeing as I'm coming from a Motorola DROID X2 as my only android device.
Thanks for the opinion guys! As soon as I get another $60, I'm gonna be buying this bad boy. Also, I was in the OG Android Dev section, and I noticed a nice ROM called XenonHD. It looked pretty nice. How's that compared to PAC? And on my X-Play I have SlimBean, and I did notice there was a SlimBean ROM for the N7.

There is some virtue in patience when it comes to technology, but the game changes so fast in 6 months there'll be a new thing that's better anyway so why worry? Also, I don't put stock in rumors. A new Nexus 7 might come before the end of the year, I think but maybe it'll be a 2 year stay like the Xoom was. I'm considering this current Nexus 7 to replace my aging A500. It looks super smooth even on 4.2.2 so I think I'd be happy with it.
Bought it, comes in tomorrow Can't wait to play with it. Also, where should I go about getting the drivers? I downloaded Wugs tool, isn't there an option to download drivers from that?

You won't regret buying it! I think you can get the drivers from Wugs but be very very careful using kits to unlock and root. Read the directions at least 3 times before doing anything. I've seen many posts about problems after using rooting kits. If you look it up its actually easier using adb to unlock and root.
