Quick question

---

Quick noob question everyone, if I have an unlocked bootloader and custom recovery, am I rooted? Because busybox and superuser still aren't giving me command prompts. I'm on stock ics

I have the same issue as the OP. Vivid with stock ICS 4.0.3. I've unlocked the bootloader via HTCDev. Flashed WCXs CWM (GB/ICS) recovery.

I've tried patiently to Perm Root with Vivid All-In-One Kit. No success. Device just reboots into recovery. I followed WildChild's instructions to boot into recovery and install superuser & su. Still nothing. TiBa and BusyBox still say Root Privileges are needed.

I've been up and down the Android and Vivid forums on different websites, but can't find the answer.

I'm not interested in flashing a kernel/ROM unless it's necessary. I just want root privileges to eliminate AT&T's junk.

Am I missing a step somewhere? I can't post to AIO forum because my post count isn't high enough. So at this point....any help is very much appreciated.

FYI...Vivid is set to USB debug. This is the return I get from Vivid AIO Perm Root:

When using the all in one tool did you boot into bootloader when trying to perm root if it didn't automatically do it for you.

If you could get back to stick gb, Google zergrush root. Its a tempt root for users who still have their boot loader locked. But in your case, it should be locked.

All In One automatically reboots into recovery, runs the batch then responds with "device not found" after each command.

I did try what you said. I booted into bootloader, then ran the perm root from AIO, but got the same "device not found" result.

After much reading, booting and rebooting, I managed to get this response from All In One:

However, no still no root. I've kept up to date with the AIO forum. Read the "under construction SuperGuide cover to cover. I have done exactly what many others have, except no joy for me. It appears I may have the only AT&T Vivid in the world that will not root.

Flash that in boot loader. If it says update presses yes then you're back to gingerbread.

Use that to root your phone. Follow instructions carefully.
