That would be because fastboot.exe is not made for double-clicking. It is made for command prompt and has to be used with commands

e.g.

cd C:\path\to\fastboot.exe\

fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin

what is ruu exactly that hes running?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jerrycoffman45:
rom update utility you can download from htc website and if you dont know your bootloader must be locked put your phone in fastboot usb mood hook it up to computer and run ruu

is it necessary to flash a kernal por can you just Unlock bootloaer, Root, and do CMW Recovery and then flash Wild Child ROM? Or is Kernal a must?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] hasoon2000:
You don't need to flash a kernel. It is optional. In your case, unlock bootloader, flash CWM and then flash ROM. No root needed if you are going to flash a ROM.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] maddie01:
Wow, glad i asked the question as i thought for sure i needed to root...i have a stock Rom I downloaded OTA...

I truly appreciate the note... will do the Unloak Bootloader, CMW Recovery and flash the ROM......
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ascalon1:
I'm TERRIBLY sorry if this has been explained in the thread already, but I've read through the thread and tried looking myself, and just can't come to a definitive conclusion about what I need to do because everyone is trying something different, from a different place, with a different goal in mind :P. I had an ungoldy difficult time trying to flash to the official ics 4 rom for my HTC Vivid, mostly due to the info on the net failing to mention a very simple step (relock your bootloader). So this time I figured I'd go ahead and ask.

I have flashed to the official icecream sandwich rom from the HTC website. I unlocked my bootloader with the all in one tool. I cannot get the version 2.1 tool to root the Vivid. It usually tells me that the su cannot be found. Same thing happens if I try to work with the su in a terminal program, for instance. Doesn't work even if I have the phone in the fastboot screen. What do I need in order to unlock this phone from the official rom?

Also note that I got my phone secondhand with VJRaider rom initially installed, and since wiped over with all sorts of kernel and recovery flash attempts:rolleyes:. I'm amazed at how brick-resistant droids are. Thanks a lot guys!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] hasoon2000:
You are not forgiven!! haha jk.

Download this

http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip

Place it on your SD card. Flash a recovery if you haven't done so, and flash that zip file and you will now have a root phone =D
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ascalon1:
Thank you for the reply! Should I flash it by selecting the zip from the recovery screen/bootloader?

***EDIT*** I went ahead and flashed a recovery as you said, using the all in one toolkit. I then went back and tried to root it using the toolkit again, and it booted into the recovery menu (instead of a green circle screen). Rebooted, and now I seem to have root access! Finally!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] hasoon2000:
There you go! Problem solved :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] maddie01:
I will attempt to follow the steps you mention, but again, I already have a Stock official ICS ROM installed (Like ascalon1) and i dont see any instrcutions other than,

"unlock bootloader, flash CWM and then flash ROM. No root needed if you are going to flash a ROM."

Which I appreciate greatly but I was hoping for some more detailed steps for those of us that already flashed the Stock (official ATT ICS rom) and want to go with a custom rom?

I see some say to root, and some say I dont need to root? Some say remember to re-lock bootloader? Others dont mention it at all? This used to be a lot easier...I just want to be able to flash a ROM like WildChilds so I get Tehtering and can remove bloat, etc..

Hope i dont brick or bootloop
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] hasoon2000:
So do you want to root the stock ROM or install WC's ROM? If you wanna install WC's ROM, then unlock bootloader, flash CWM and then flash ROM. If you wanna root the stock ROM, then unlock bootloader, flash CWM and then press the perm root button.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] maddie01:
Thanks hansoon2000, I truly appreciate it, I do want to flash WildChilds ROM...

So, I don't need to use the Toolkit, no Kernal, or un-lock, then re-lock...? Just Unlock Bootloader on HTC Website, Flash CMW (which I need to find) and then Flash the ROM....those 3 steps?

I will proceed and i aplogize for all the questions...Big time thanks to you....
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] hasoon2000:
You can use my toolkit to unlock your boot loader and flash the recovery.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] maddie01:
When unlocking bootloader-I can get to the step where I have to highlight the token but I cannot copy or paste it and nothing tells me where to put it?

Anyone help?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] hasoon2000:
You right click and press copy. You highlight the token ID and right click it. Go to the link and paste it there. Watch my video.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] maddie01:
I got the toekn to paste... using the All in one tool...but cannot get the .bin file to be recognized...

Sorry to bother everyone.....maybe tomorrow will try again...HTC could have made this easier.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] maddie01:
I finaly got the Bootloader Unlocked!!,

Sincere thanks to hasson200 and everyone that helped..had to use a mix of files from the tool and direct with HTC but it worked.

I cannot figure out how to set the phone to do the Recovery using the TOOL?

Do I do the Power and Vol Down and highlight one of the words?

Also, do i have to do the Recovery or can I just got direclty to flashing the WildChild ROM?:)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] maddie01:
Bootloader question...

Is it necessary to relock the Bootloader after flashing a custom Rom? I have unlocked Bootloader and getting readyt o flash recovery and then WC custom Rom....do I have to then go back and relock Bootloader? Seems like in the posts this is causing some issues...can I just leave it unlocked after flashing the rom?

Many thanks.....
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jerrycoffman45:
yes you can leave it unlocked

How to confirm Rooting and Recovery Worked Properly?

Hi,

I went trhoguh all and I am pretty sure I have Wild Child Rom as I don't see any ATT apps anymore.....BUT, cannot use portable WiFi hotspot and I need some guidance on how to tell if the Root worked ? How do I confirm I did recovery? I know these are noon questions, sorry...

I am working out some donation plans especially for Johansson and slapshot....you guys have been awesome

If root did not work can I still just use all in one tool and just hit Perm root? What would I set the phone to, recovery? Fasrboot?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jerrycoffman45:
look in your app drawer and see if superuser is there if it is download titanium backup and see if it works as for recovery boot into it at the bottom of the screen it should have build made for wcx illuminati series by gimm if it is wildchilds if you havnt installed apm mod download quickboot from the market it will only work if you have root
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] maddie01:
Thanks! I feel I am getting somewhere! I did see in recovery mode the build for illuminati....so I do have WC Rom...I installed quick boot and I see titanium back up installed as well so are you saying if they installed them I have root? I keep getting the ERROR to go to att.com or call them when I try the tethering/hotspot feature ? Seems like something did not take....

Any suggestions.....?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jerrycoffman45:
if you are on the att build instead of the generic build goto wildchilds site and go to the att thread there is a work around at post 40 and no just because they installed doesnt mean you have root if you run them they will ask for root acsess click yes if you have root it will say granted if you have anymore questions pm me

hasoon2000 sorry for highjacking your thread
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] maddie01:
You have been really helpful....thanks....I will check out the WC site...but I would like to insure I have root ....maybe I will try and reuse hansoons tool...and try and root again.... Will try both options....I could not ave gotten this far without your replies...thanks.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] tanner4137:
Are there any plans to merge this tool and the S-Off tool? That would be amazing!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] maddie01:
I have two quick questions, I used hansoon2000's All in oNe Toll and i cannot get Tetheirng to work with WC ROM..

SO, I am going to go back to ATT Version, BUT.

I am gettign guidance that i have to flash 2 files before flashing the ROM?

boot.img and

wcxrecovery.img??

Is this really necessary?

I never flashed these before, I just did Unlock Bool L, cwx recovery with All In One Tool and flashed the rom from an SD Card.....DO I need to flash these two files before i flash another ics ROM???

When i try to root it just reboots my phone into recovery and then i hit enter and it just sits there saying something data...

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jigajay:
I have a quick question I traded my G2x for the Htc Vivid and realized after I traded it they unlocked the bootloader. So now how would I go about flashing Cwm I installed the Htc driver then figure I can skip the other steps being I already have a unlocker bootloader so I go to flash recovery it says daemon started succesfully then error device not found. So do I have to go through all the steps to unlock bootloader also when you connect the phone to the computer does it have to be in disk drive or charge only even though I tried both and get the same error both times.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lilmikey201:
how to i get s-off?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] hasoon2000:
PM me. I can help you with that.

Enable USB debugging on the phone. Your phone probably has a CWM on it since you bought it with a custom ROM.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jigajay:
Ok I didn't of enablingusb debuuging and realized that my bootloader wasn't unlocked I figred that I could boot in to it and just assumed it was unlocked not seeing in face locked on the top. My Htc Mytouch 4G was so different just downloaded a app entered some commants in terminal emulator and I was rooted with S off. But thanks for clearing up that sitution for me just got my E-mail to unlock bootloader folder.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] hasoon2000:
The newer phones are becoming harder so ya, great to here you got it working!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lilmikey201:
i have to mess with my phone wires to get s-off? wtf
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] hasoon2000:
You have to use an insulated wire. I used a breadtie and i had issues. I realized I was actually touching the pin. Once I realized that, I got it working within 5 mins. It really isn't that hard.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kevace1:
i flashed the kernel available on this tool kit and now the phone wont boot. i have tried to flash it many times over and no go. I even tried flashing the stock back on and still it stays stuck at the HTC white screen. I followed the steps to unlock bootloader and everything went fine no problem at all. flashed the recovery also with no issues. i went to flash the kernel, and im stuck.....i had the vivid on AT&T stock ICS. let me know what i can do thanks....
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] AlexisRoj:
I have same problem
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] hasoon2000:
You guys have to make sure the build you are on is the same build for the kernel. You can find you build in the software info in the about phone section. In your cases, you need to reflash the stock ROM to get you up and running unless you can find the kernel that your ROM originally used.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] AlexisRoj:
What rom i can used, thxs bro

My english is toonbad, i speak spanish
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] hasoon2000:
If your phone does not boot up, just flash a stock ROM. You can find it in the development section.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
Hey hasoon, do you think it'd be a good idea to remove the option to flash CWM? It's been causing a lot of issues with users. Just thought removing the option completely might alleviate some headaches later on down the road. :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] hasoon2000:
I don't see issues that it causes. People prefer CWM over other recoveries.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
CWM is a fantastic recovery... on most devices. It wasn't made correctly for the Vivid. It's caused multiple soft and hard bricks alike for this device. See the link below, WC's had to help multiple people due to problems with CWM. It's all up to you though, just suggesting.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] maddie01:
vivid all in one

I used all in one to root and used the CWX recovery v s the. CMW as if I remember there were two options on the tool to flash recovery....I also had to do 3 battery pulls before it would get passed the whit e ATT screen.....slaps you have to flash WC boot.IMG first and his ROMs have the instructions built into the .zip file

I loved using the all in one tool worked great to root and do CWX recovery and then I flashed the Rom using an sd card vs from internal storage ...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] RayYung:
Wonderful tool, hasoon2000!!

Question

Hello, I just got an HTC Vivid today. I am coming from an HTC Inspire. Will this root kit work on a stock HTC Vivid running the official ICS ROM?

---------- Post added 10th May 2012 at 12:16 AM ---------- Previous post was 9th May 2012 at 11:47 PM ----------

Here is where I stand. I have an Stock HTC Vivid still on GB. I want to update to Official ICS, but don't know if I can obtain root on stock ICS. Basically, I just want a rooted vivid running official ICS. What is the best route to get there?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] GuySmily:
WHOA! There's NO WARNING from the application that this thing WIPES your phone on Unlock Bootloader. If this is supposed to be noob-proof, I think that would be a good thing to have.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mark72501:
Pretty sure it clearly says that on the HTC site and in that process? Right? I think I remember seeing it. Of course, when you're in the process of unlocking and then rooting and loading a custom ROM, etc., it's going to get wiped anyway... :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] zombieguy85:

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] holeshot77:
i unlocked bootloader.. installed CWM.. then went on to install kernel.. said press any key.. i did then I am stuck on the HTC loadup screen..

What did I do wrong??

UPDATE:

I am running ICS 4.0.3 - Just got phone today. :(
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] holeshot77:
Ok. I went through bootloader and got into WCX recovery(i installed that one instead since it said ICS). So, Now I am in recovery but I still can't get past the HTC screen. Am I rooted? Do I just install a ROM now? Gonna try to install a ROM.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] holeshot77:
Flashed stock rooted ROM. Everything is fine now. :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigred1991:
@holeshot77

Glad you got that figured out. So I guess that also answers my question, this does work on a stock ICS phone.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] zombieguy85:
I Just got my vivid yesterday and i cant stand not having root other than this tool kit do i need to download the stock rom from the dev page ? also i dont have to that short thing like the jaopbear guide do i
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigred1991:
Also would like to know this! From what I read in the few previous post, it appears that we need to also download a rom. That or the other guy just messed up somewhere.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] zombieguy85:
Ok so let me get this straight. You loaded the the app unlocked boot loader followed all the instructions and last step is to load rooted stock from vivid dev.. No shorting with a wire . I'm just trying to grasp how to do this properly and not screw up the phone. But what I'm reading on xda conflicts in the guides
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigred1991:
To add to the confusion, on the stock ICS ROM in the forums, it states "Just a reminder that this has only been tested on a Vivid on AT&T and you must have the new ICS HBOOT on your phone before flashing." What exactly is the ICS HBOOT? yes I have searched the forums for the answer first. I see that HBOOT is mentioned in the superguide, but it says its under construction for ICS. So I don't know if that applies to ICS.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] zombieguy85:
All I'm looking to accomplish is to have root I don't want to flash custom roms I just want to delete the stupid att apps
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigred1991:
Same here. I was speaking about the stock ROM that the other guy had to install due to being stuck on the boot screen after rooting. So it looks like I might have to re-install the stock ROM if I get into the same situation with it not booting.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Byzandroid:
Is this only for Window's? Will it work with Linux (i.e. Mint Linux)?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigred1991:
Ok so this is a noob question. Does the bootloader have to be unlocked before root can be acquired?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] zombieguy85:
From what I have read yes but if you get it to work let me know which method worked
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigred1991:
I think I'm going to wait and see if we get someone to answer the questions first. If I do go ahead and do it, I will certainly post back. Likewise, please inform me if you take the leap.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ycode90:
I used the tool to unlock bl ,add root and recovery. Just followed the instructions. I did not flash kernel or custom Rom . All I wanted was to debloat . I Did that manually with es set to root. Phone was ics out of the box.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] zombieguy85:
Ok so I may take the dive to do that so just follow the instructions and ill be fine thanks for the help

Edit : which version of the tool did you use
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] zombieguy85:
GOOD News man i followed the instructions on the kit and it worked flawless im currently running stock ics with root

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigred1991:
Glad to hear it worked for you! I will do mine tonight or tomorrow. Did you just root it or did you also unlock the bootloader?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] zombieguy85:
I first unlocked the boot loader with the all in one kit and then loaded wcx recovery then did the permroot button and it worked
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigred1991:
I guess I'll try tomorrow. I tried a minute ago thinking it wouldn't take long, but I was wrong. The "install HTC drivers" doesn't work and neither did the "get token ID". I started doing it all manually via HTC Dev and it was taking forever to get all the files needed. Maybe I can get it tomorrow, too tired tonight.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] hasoon2000:
Look at post 3 for bugs. I bet your directory is the issue.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] zombieguy85:
Yea just extract the tool into the c: drive in its own folder then run the tool you'll get it

Big thanks for making this tool man it works great I'm rooted and happy

OK tried the 2.1 tool yesterday to unlock BL, everything went perfectly. Today I tried to reflash Holicakes kernel and phone got stuck on white HTC screen while rebooting. It still goes into recovery but when I reboot it always gets stuck. How do I get my ICS back?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mark72501:
If you can get to HBOOT and connect via USB then just run the RUU from the computer...available from HTC or here on XDA (in this thread somewhere I think).

That worked thanks.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lycwolf:
