HTC Super tool works and I got root on Raider

I just tried the HTC Super tool and got Root on Raider. Note I had bootloader unlocked via HTCDev.com
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343114

HTC made a update to the list of devices supported on htcdev and may be some at& t people should try it now

Nope, still doesn't work.
Hopefully HTC/AT&T will unlock it soon or it will get cracked. I'm guessing it will get cracked before it is officially unlocked.

it really doesnt matter what method you use to root the raider with an unlocked bootloader. they ALL do the same thing and flash the SAME files....

Give a try now, I can see lots of people posting that they were able to unlock the bootloader today using htcdev.com.
It was supposed to be released on 26th.

Yep, it apparently works now. I am really surprised that it got the official unlock. Great news to wake up to this morning.

I don't see the Vivid listed as a supported device on htcdev.com

Does not matter, just follow the instructions it is same process.

[Q] Need help with bootloader/rooting. Tried searching and found no answeres.

I guess I should start by telling you my progress and why I can't just go through the guide on this site.
Before I discovered this site, successfully unlocked my bootloader using the official site. Then I googled around and found a guide to root the phone. I'll try to post the link later, I'm in a hurry and on my phone. The root failed, saying it couldn't copy files or something like that. I tried again with superoneclick, but it always freezes at step five and I have to exit.
Then I found this site. The guide said I have to re-lock my bootloader before continuing, so I follow the directions and do that, only to find out It wants me to unlock it again using the method I did before. Now this is where I need help, and why I need my own thread. When I tried to lock my loader again, there was a line that said FAILED in the cmd. because of this I am unsure if I really am locked or not, and I'm afraid of doing anything else until I know for sure.
How can I find out whether I'm locked or not? I'm sure I can figure out the rest once I know for sure.

Turn your phone off. Pull your battery. Turn on your phone by holding volume down + the power button. You will be booted to the bootloader screen. It will say at the top whether you are "unlocked" or "re-locked". Re-locked = locked.
The reason you need to re-lock your bootloader is because the RUU (stock ROM flash) requires it. The you have to once again unlock the bootloader and then you can root. The RUU also updates the HBOOT for you if you want some custom ICS ROMs.

I am trying to relock my bootloader to flash RUU. When I relock, it gives the security warning, and won't go past bootloader. You have to have the phone on to update the RUU.

Thanks a lot, jerrycoffman45.
Is anyone familiar with this error? I searched but didn't find.
:~/android$ sudo ./fastboot oem lock
... INFOLock successfully...
FAILED (status read failed (Protocol error))
It appears to do it anyway, as it says relocked on the bootloader screen.

returning completely to stock ICS

My HTC Velocity is unlocked, s-off and has lived a good life of forever shifting ROM's however a mandate has come down from above that they are rolling out a new antivirus package at work that detects all these shenanigans and reports it back, is there any way, now that I have s-off to relock the boot-loader without it saying "re-locked" and just saying locked like it did originally?
I'm not sure if that would actually be detected I have a feeling it only really detects rooting, however but it would be a nicety to get it back to totally stock.
Difficult answer to find with the associated keywords, sorry if this is a repost I did attempt to search for it.

I could be wrong, but as far as I know you should just have to relock your bootloader with the file you should have saved somewhere that let you originally unlock it and then run the RUU that's floating around here somewhere. Just make sure you download the correct RUU for what you want (the official ICS one is like 400 something MBs I think).

That is correct relock bootloader, then flash correct RUU for your device..

OP does not want the boot loader to say re-locked.
AFAIK there is no way to do this. I have re-locked mine a few times and it always says re-locked.

Thanks, as above I have relocked many times, bummer can't get rid of re-lock

[Q] HTC VIVID about to get smashed

I got a HTC Vivid which i can not get to sim network unlock. It was origionally ATT but now im trying to use it on StraightTalk with their bring your own ATT compatiable phone. I am not a noob ive rooted s-off and flashes many many phones but this ones got my stomped. I have done the fallowing below.
1. Called straight talk, they gave me a unlock code but phone shows network unlock unsuccessful.
2. Called ATT which they said the phone was to new and was unable to give me a code.
3. Searched all XDA and tried the VERY few things i could find with no result.
4. Purchased a Unlock code from a site online with good reviews... FAILED... they refunded money was unable to unlock phone.
5. Purchased from a 2nd, 3nd, and 4th site unlock codes. Of the 4 sites they supplied the same 2 codes. 3 out of 4 have refunded the cost. Waiting on 4th, they had a tech looking into it. No responce 6 days now, emailed and got only a automated msg.
6. Setup a Skype Phone number in Paris France and called ATT so it would appear i was overseas. They still wouldnt unlock the phone but was able to open a case and esculate it from customer service to they supervisors. 3 Days and no reply... still wondering.
So here I am does anyone have any suggestions or things I can try? Im beating my head on my desk thinking WTF... i dont have ATT so unless i can get it unlocked im stuck with a phone i cant use.
HELP!!!

Theres a guide in here that I will vouch for, I used it, and have been with multiple different carriers now since, no problems.
sent from my HTC Raider from XDA Premium.
Current Phones-
HTC Raider. Stock, debloated, rooted, s-off, sim unlocked.
Sony Xperia Play- Stock, debloated, rooted, s-off, sim locked.
2 New HTC Incredible S. Stock, sim unlocked.
Past Phones-
HTC Incredible S. Stock,debloated,rooted, s-off, sim unlocked. (Dismantled for parts)
HTC HD7. Sim unlocked. That's all I felt was worth doing honestly. (Sold)
Love me some HTC

I agree. The method to sim unlock on xda was successful for me - it doesn't require flashing a file, per se..rather putting a specific DAT file on the root of SD card and then from boot loader choosing simlock.. it errors out but still unlocks the phone (pretty sure its supposed to error out - part of the hack) ..anyway, it was one of the first things I tried on a raider from xda and I've done it on 3 of them now, all successfully. You should try that.

[Q] Upgrade to 1.08 or Root/S-Off First?

My new (to me) HTC First is still at v1.05. Based upon the various experiences, should I root and set S-off now or upgrade to 1.08 first? I will be using my existing ST SIM. Thanks. --Larry

Flashing the DeOdexed RUU108.zip using Hasoon's Toolkit was unsuccessful (12 file signatures failed) and phone remained on HTC (bootloader only when USB unplugged) ???
Any idea why?
The 1.08 RUU.exe is running now, and (so far @ 21%) appears to be OK.
edit: 4:36pm:
ROM installed successfully.
Bootloader Unlocked using HTC code & Hasoon's Tool kit.
I see *** TAMPERED *** above ***UNLOCKED *** at the top of the Bootloader screen, so I know that worked.
TWRP says it installed OK, but did not. There is no recovery listing under BOOTLOADER? ??
Phone seems to function OK, though.
Any ideas as to a next step? Reinstall RUU?
Thanks again

I would do s-off next.
I actually did s-off with the 1.05 software as it wouldn't let me update an inactive phone over WiFi.
Make sure you have adb working and fast boot. Also disable your anti virus.

And how I differentiate between FASTBOOT and BOOTLOADER? I do see Fastboot USB when booting to Bootloader.
Note above: There is no Recovery line item.
Thank you.

Tried again and this time it DID boot to TWRP! Can't explain it, but all is well. Thank you all. --Larry
