[TOOL] Temporary Root Batch with Latest Superuser (Not Working)

---

Hey folks. Anyone on a Windows PC can test out this batch tool for temporary rooting the HTC Vivid. Tell me if you encounter any errors!

What is this?

This is a batch file for Windows computers that will install the zergRush temporary root binary, and then install the latest Superuser binary and application from ChainsDD.

Instructions

1. Install the HTC drivers.
2. Allow "Unknown Sources" on your device: Settings >> Applications
3. Download the zergRush root package.
4. Plug your HTC Vivid device into your computer.
   • We recommend using back-of-the-computer USB ports. They tend to be more power reliable.
   • Place your device in "Charge only" mode.
5. Enable USB debugging in Settings >> Applications >> Development.
6. Extract the zergRush root package.
7. Install “install.bat”
8. Congratulations! You’ve achieved temporary root.

Hmm I can't get this to work, I just keep getting a bunch of permission denied errors or no such file or directory. Do I need to run the install.bat from a specific location? Should my phone be on charge only?

Yes it should be charge only. Could you try it in "charge only" mode and get back to me? If that doesn't work, I will attempt to fix any problems.

If you can, send a screenshot of the errors. Thanks!

Got a couple of devices from the nice folks at AT&T.

Nice work! Any chance for a Mac repackage?
