No it didn't ask for super user, but it let me get to the system app folder and delete items. However when I click on the data folder and a few other folders it shows no files in there.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] redneck_666:
HTC said they will unlock the bootloaders, only at the discretion of carriers. I don't think AT&T would ever allow it.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] drewdatrip:
At this point i dont think AT&T is blocking this considering nearly EVERY other android device that is sold by the carrier has an unlocked Bootloader (SGS2, SGS2 Skyrocket LG Thrill Etc)

I was able to run the script successfull once (script said I had root), but didn't have root. Used:

But then got the message:

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] capman231:
I just talked to HTC support and they said the bootloader would be unlocked in the next few days. They said it was not locked at AT&T's request and they will post it in the next few days. He said unofficially that it might be posted in the next 2 to 5 days.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] malickie:
Awesome News, glad to hear that HTC is going to keep with their Promise's. Now I just have to figure out why the hell fastboot got deleted from my android sdk or where it went because it is no longer under tools after I updated it.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ceo.mtcl:
I Love you man in a totally hetero sexual way.lol
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cyber_pete:
Thanks Drew, that got the script going again and it ran successfully, but for some reason I don't have root.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] donharden2002:
I've got root for root explorer but not working for titanium bup got some reason. It tells me to update su and this is what I get when I try.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Tx Redneck:
Do you have busybox installed?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rquinn19:
It's no longer packed with the SDK. HTC has a link to dl an older version and then you could extract it from there.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] donharden2002:
I did but my phone rebooted and I started over and it's working now. Thanks for your response, really appreciate it. This is my 2nd htc device, 1st being an aria I bought for a backup phone which was easy to root and everything. So still kind of getting used to htc's ways.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cyber_pete:
So you followed the directions from the OP and the script said it was successful? Then you had temp root? Did you do anything else? I get the success from the script, I have SU installed, but root explorer doesn't get root access. I can't install busybox. Not sure why it doesn't work for me.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] SnoopHogg:
Does anyone know if there is a step by step available anywhere? I really need to get some kind of root going on, even if it's temporary :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] gtkansan:
Temp works fine for me. Had to turn off fastboot for some reason though
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cyber_pete:
How ar you guys running the last part of the process?

Code:

# id

uid=0 gid=0

I make sure adb is running as root and then do:

adb shell # id

adb shell uid=0 gid=0

Am I doing that part wrong? Must be user error if others are having success.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] arunp44:
the code portion is just running id to see if it spits back uid/gid of 0. You dont actually run it :-)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cyber_pete:
Wow, ooops. So how do I run ID from a terminal app on the phone?

EDIT:

Nevermind not with it today. No sleep, sick child. Sorry guys.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] diemhenmobile:
I flash file ph39img.zip. phone rooted. Ok. File ph39img.zip i download on web bbs.xda.cn

http://dl.dbank.com/c0fwbgxr2w
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] :
@diemhenmobile do you have a more direct link to that file? and will it give perm-root? took a glance at the chinese xda forums and from what i can see they have perm-root and even a couple roms already! thanks

Edit: must have missed the link and downloading it now but before i flash it can you explain more about what this file is? at 368mb correct me if im wrong it's probably the whole OS but pre-rooted or something but if you could please explain more about this file i would be a lot more comfortable flashing it thanks.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rquinn19:
Since we do have an RUU I think I'll take the jump when I get home from work. Can't DL it here. Would love to freeze some apps and get some ad blocking...I don't mind waiting for a full root/recovery.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] drewdatrip:
Is this possible without an unlocked bootloader?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rquinn19:
Should be as long as the file is signed the right way or whatever. If and when we get ICS when it's dl'd to our device it comes in the form a file named like that one. the name varies from device to device with however HTC names their devices. If you were to boot into bootloader without anything on the card you'll see it still checks to see if there's a file there for an update. Problem is that since these files are signed you can't just remove and add things. I don't see how this would work. I'm not a dev, but I've been using and flashing HTC and all devices going back to the HTC Apache.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] capman231:
I just looked at the files in this with Win Zip and it says the system.img is over 800 megs, can this be right?

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] gtkansan:
Does this have to be on an external sdcard?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rquinn19:
I honestly don't know. Last device I flashed like this was an Evo3D months ago.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] gtkansan:
Well I tried using internal storage, won't find it upon entry to the bootloader
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Tx Redneck:
Yes, it must be on the root of the sd.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rquinn19:
Looking at the Amaze forum it needs to be on the storage card in hboot mode.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] gtkansan:
Too bad we dont have a sd card to start with. I need to get mine back out of another device to mess with it. oh well.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ceo.mtcl:
i have a sd card but will this work on locked boot loader, I'm not feeling comfortable flashing it. If someone its kind enough to share hits finding on flashing it on vivid then please let us know.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jaxboater:
I'll give it a try as soon as downloads are done.

(glad I still have my Inspire - I hate trying to use a brick as a phone)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jaxboater:
The zip tried to load twice from hboot.

I tried the recovery option and rec'd the red triangle.

Ended up with correct time on home widget, but 4 hrs ahead in upper right menu.

So I flashed the Cingular ruu and back to normal.

I notice the img file is about 11 MB smaller than the ruu.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ToyGUN:
First off I'm on the HTC Raider (Rogers) vers. I used the HTCDev site to unlock the bootloader, but it leaves it with S-On still. After I used the zergrush method from the OP to get the temp root and then I installed busybox with su binary and the superuser.apk to get a full root. Basically followed the DoomLord pack while leaving a part here or there that wasn't working properly. below is a link to the package I used to follow along the runme.bat For some reason it wouldn't just work with running it.

hxxp://ifile.it/onpb269/
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] killster:
i dont see this phone or yours on the htc dev site, or is it just me?

i did zerg, but after i mess with root, i get everything working, i get titanium, i do a restore, i get everything perfect, it reboots itself, and i cant re-temp root without a reset.

thats where i sit.... so as of now, i was able to restore evertyhing when i had titanium for a bit, it rebooted, i lost root, but i got all my apps back, including the sideloaded ones, YAY.

~k

HTCdev site says -

Error Code: 170.

Error Reason: CID Not Allowed.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ToyGUN:
Yea the HTC Raider 4G isn't listed, but it worked and I got a code from HTC to put it in, but when I first got this phone I couldn't even get the SIM unlocked because it hadn't been registered to any system yet. In time HTC said they will deliver, but it still leaves the S-ON. If another method is published I will try it so I can remove that.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] SnoopHogg:
I would be happy (for now) just to be able to do this much. I'd like to just get the temp root, get my stuff back through Titanium backup, and I would be happy for a little while. I've never had to use the method on the first post, so it looks like a foreign language to me. I'm still waiting for someone to do a "Temp Root for Dummies" type of thing so I can get it done. I'm not tech illiterate, have done rooting and jailbreaking many times before, but I just don't understand this method yet. If anyone could help, it would be GREATLY appreciated.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
try these instructions, its the same exact method:

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] nintendolinky:
Hi mate can you answer if this will work on the Sensation XL
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] SnoopHogg:
Thank you very much for the help! So it went through everything, but I've got no Superuser and Titanium backup says i'm not rooted. I'm guessing maybe my problem was rebooting at the end? Am i not supposed to do that? I typed it in the cmd lind at the very end like the instructions said to do.

Download the follow file: it contains the exploit, su, Superuser

Download exploit ---> Exploit.zip

1) Unzip contents of folder to your Desktop

2) open a command terminal and navigate to the folder (cd Desktop/Exploit)

3) type the following commands

---> adb push zerg /data/local

---> adb push su /data/local

---> adb push Superuser.apk /data/local

---> adb shell

---> cd /data/local

---> chmod 777 zerg

---> ./zerg

4) Wait for the root to be gained

5) type the following commands

---> adb shell (only type this if you are no longer in shell@targa)

---> mount -o rw,remount /dev/null /system

---> cat /data/local/su > /system/bin/su

---> cat /data/local/Superuser.apk > /system/app/Superuser.apk

---> chmod 4755 /system/bin/su

---> chmod 4755 /system/app/Superuser.apk

---> reboot

Awesome! I'm glad it finally came in! As you can see, i'm getting much closer... just not temp rooted quite yet. I still think the simplified guide will be a great help to many that will find their way to this forum.

What about busybox with this?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] GSLEON3:
I went thru the manual temp root, then immediately did the manual using ADB to push Busybox & Superuser. Got both pushed to device, then tried 1 click method directly and it work, found patch & repushed both BB & SU. Command window showed my device as rooted, however, when I tried to install CF3d and OC Prog, both said "Not rooted", even though SU & Busybox both stayed running in processes.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
sorry. the reboot step should not be used for the vivid.

as for your second try,

run these commands in adb shell:

rm /data/local/tmp/boomsh

rm /data/local/tmp/sh

then run zerg again.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cyber_pete:
Hi guys, here is a step by step that works for me almost every time. There are some quirks, sometimes the phone locks up while zergRush is running, sometimes I need to remount the SD card after I complete the temp root process, and sometimes I lose the SU binary but not root, so I have to push SU again. But in the end you will have temp root and you can use all of the root apps.

I take no credit for this solution it is a combination of the two methods discovered by arunp44 and Jimmy273 based on the exploit found by JRW 28.

Please let me know if this works for you. As always this is offered to use at your own risk, I take no responsibility if you brick your device.

1. Download TempRoot.zip

2. Extract to your desktop

3. Open a command terminal and navigate to the folder (cd Desktop/TempRoot)

4. Type the following commands:

adb push zergRush /data/local

adb push su /data/local

adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/zergRush

adb shell /data/local/zergRush

The resulting output should look something like this:

*reconnect adb shell*

5. Type the following commands:

adb shell

id

The result should be uid=0 gid=0

You now have temp root, but you still need SuperUser and the SU binary.

6. Go to the Market and install SuperUser (you can install SuperUser at any point, this is just where I did it)

7. Make sure you are still in adb shell, if you are you will see a #, if you are not type adb shell.

8. Type the following commands:

mount -o rw,remount /dev/null /system

cat /data/local/su > /system/bin/su

chmod 4755 /system/bin/su

You now have root and the SU binary and can install busybox or perform other root functions. Once you reboot you will lose root and will have to do the following to get root back:

1. Connect back to the computer and open a command terminal and navigate to the folder (cd Desktop/TempRoot)

2. Type the following commands:

adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/boomsh

adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/sh

adb push zergRush /data/local

adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/zergRush

adb shell /data/local/zergRush

3. You have root again untill you reboot.

Again this method is not perfect, probably will not be untill we get perm root. But this should help you do some of the things we like to do with our devices. If this helped you out, hit the thanks button.

If you can go to Download mode then search for your official firmware (see here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278)

And flash as usual using Odin.

It will bring back your phone to the usual one (without root etc.)

You can flash other official firmwares as well.

Mine was 2.3.3 DXKI2 previously, my country have not released the 2.3.5 officially, so I just took the latest XWKI8 and flashed it.

Directly flash the firmware will do

After that follow the CF-Root if you want to get your root and CWM back.

2)Can you or can you not get into download mode using the 3 button combo.

3)You need kies on the PC for the phone to communicate with the PC in download mode. But while running odin, all kies processes have to be stopped via windows taskmanager.

4)Pull out your battery for like 15 to 30 mins and then try again.
