[Q] root with out losing data

is there a simple way to get root access on my friends at&t htc vivid???

Obtaining root is relatively easy. Unlock the bootloader, install a recovery, and then flash superSU.zip. The easiest way will be with the "all in one tool" (see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1498003).
You should definitely make a backup before unlocking the bootloader however. It will wipe all of your user data (SMS, contacts, account settings, apps, etc.). Gaining root using superSU does not wipe any data (at least it didn't for me).

thanks mate but is there a way of doing it with out losing all the data???

So far, no. The only choice is to unlock the bootloader and install clockwork recovery.

thanks for the info mate

Possibly... Look in the dev section for the old temp-root thread. It will give you root until you reboot. That should give you time to back up anything you want in titanium backup. I'll try and look for it, hopefully it works with ICS.

[REQUEST] Looking for a rooted user on Rogers. Need original Sku_id.

I'm looking for anyone who's on Rogers and is rooted as I'm looking for the original sku_id of the device.
Since flashing to a custom rom, signal bars and icons aren't as they were and I need to change my sku_id to make it accurate again.
If you are rooted and on Rogers, all I need you to do is go into Root Explorer in the directory /system/customize/ACC/default.xml and look for the sku_id value. Should be on line 432. Mine is currently set at 42.
Please and thank you!

Why don't you flash your stock nandroid to get the sku then go back to give custom rom.

Because then I would have to wipe and restore for a simple value which I really didn't think it would be this hard to get lol
There's gotta be SOMEONE on Rogers with stock rom in these forums...

Proof

I DID NOT MAKE THIS AT ALL ONLY FOLLOWING UP
Here are a few Pictures of Loki working on the Sprint LG-LS955 I will not release how it is done because its not my work !!!! If you want to thank someone thank Shellnutt for his hard work point blank. I am only testing, Please do not flood this with remarks. Just tring to show people that we are working on it. There is no eta as we need kernels to test and Roms. Show if you are a builder please feel free to pm me with a kernel to test. Im sure that it will be ported to all Flex models. So I would say go back to the bounty and start give these people something to work for.
Thank you for understanding

Hopefully there will soon be for all

Wow great work guys! Fingers cross for D959.

Well thank you for sharing. I'm confused though. What it's it you need to test? Are you saying you need a stock flashable sprint kernel? I'm sure either me or matt will download whatever files we need and make it for you.

You could have aznrice2k4 package his kernel in a zip to test

Honesty I wouldn't advise it unless you're prepared to go back to stock. We don't even know what's locked but if this is what it is then it would flash.
Oh I didn't even know that there was a bounty. I could careless about that. I do this for fun.
