[Q] Cannot Gain Root Access

Hello, I am somewhat new here, and I haven't had much trouble with phones before, but I have run into a bit of a snag. I cannot gain root access on my HTC Vivid. I was recently stuck in a boot loop, after trying to flash a different ROM, so I had relocked my phone, and decided I would update to The Vivid's ICS. I fixed the boot loop and everything was fine. I unlocked the phone again, and followed the directions on android authoirty's website to gain root access again. Although everything installed correctly an there was no problems, I cannot gain root access to my phone. If there is any ideas or suggestions I could try, it would be greatly appreciated.
I also wanted to add that I have considered the fact that it is due to the update that I have not gained root, but I would hate to do all that work again, but if I have to I will. If somebody could confirm or deny this, as well as point me in the direction of where I can find the un-updated factory files for the Vivid, that would be extremely helpful.
------------Resolved-------------
It was an error on my part and I forgot to flash the recovery.

What did you did you to to resolve this? I cant get root again. Would like to just keep the factory ICS and have root for now.

I actually am using Pirate Ghost's Rum Float Beta 4 right now. It's very good and is almost like stock.
-Meaning I do not think you can have root on stock (to my knowledge). Although I do believe there is a rooted stock release on his website.

[Q] Update Woes!

I was hoping someone out there would be able to help me. I have been trying to find the related threads to aid my quest in updating my Motorola Razr I to Jelly Bean to no avail. The firmware is an orange gb one. I tried to install one I downloaded in a different thread. One that set my version to 81.5.31002.xt890.orange.en.gb but that didn't help.
The issue is I get the update in about phone > system updates. It downloads but fails to install. The update lists itself as the system version without the orange part in the firmware name. I spoke to Motorola who just said send it back in but I dont really want to spend 10 days or more without my handset especially now that I have tried to put a updated rom on it. I wondered if anyone had an update.zip or something I could run from recovery that would install the latest version. Or someone who could help / point me in the right direction of how to install an unbranded rom so I could try the update from that?
I love this phone but this kind of stuff is a real pain!
Thanks in advance

Fixed the issue myself. Needed to unlock the bootloader and root the phone to get it installed. I am hoping I can now close the bootloader or at least unroot the device! if you need help give me a shout and I can talk you through it.

Need help with a bricked phone.

Hello. I was trying to root my phone using instructions from here: http://www.androidvillaz.com/2016/03/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-s6-on-marshmallow-6.0.1.html
Once the kernel wrote and said successful, I was no longer able to turn on my phone.
What I've done for the past several hours was try to download stock images and write them on using Odin but to no avail. I've searched all over the internet and there doesn't seem to be an answer or I don't get it.
My model number according to the android recovery (I don't have TWRP yet) is G920AUCS4CPG1 Android 6.0.1.
I'm able to access Android Recovery, download mode and I have Samsung Drivers installed on my PC to use with Odin.
I'm not super familiar with adb but if that needs to be used I can figure it out.
I'm willing to paypal 50 US bucks to whoever gives me the right advice to get my phone working again. If this last line is in violation of rules please remove.
I'm desperate. Help.

There is not a root available for AT&T phones running
G920AUCS4CPG1
I don't think there is a root available for AT&T after 5.11 Android...but I could be wrong.
I would restore your phone to stock rom and then reupdate using OTA after that.

Is there a way to root CRE1

Hello all I have tried but no luck to root my phone is there a way to root CRE1 I read about downgrading to nugget to be able to root but I dont see how to clearly do this. Has someone been able to do this. Please help

Having a problem trying to update/RUU my phone.

Hey everyone. Seem to be having a real problem applying an RUU.exe to my phone. I did this a couple years ago without an issue, but now I just get errors, no matter what I try. (Sorry, no error messages at the moment. Computer I was attempting this on had a screen issue. Unrelated. lol)
HTC M8 non H/K, rooted, S-off, unlocked/relocked on 4.4.4. stock rooted rom.
I have some apps frozen through Titanium Backup. Was thinking that may be the issue, but haven't gotten around to trying the unfreeze to see if it helps.
Have attempted using Dual Boot as well, using an sd for the install, and I couldn't get anything at all to work through that.
Was going to RUU so I could just OTA my way to the latest update, but that doesn't seem to want to work.
I'm just looking for the simplest solution to get my phone to the latest update. Don't need anything fancy. A stock rom would be perfectly fine. Wouldn't mind an RUU working, because I can always root after if I really want to. Wiping doesn't really matter. Can backup mostly all I need to.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. More and more of the important apps I use are completely dropping anything below Android 5, and I could really use a solution.
Thanks in advance for any help. ^^

Hey everyone. Is there any solution to my issue? Really need help. Can't use my TD Bank app, the Verizon Fios app, or even the Wal-Mart app anymore, and it's only going to get worse.
Please help me figure out how to update.
Also, I have used an RUU before, AFTER I unlocked the bootloader and went S-off, so I'm unsure why I can't RUU now.
