Version 2.1 is back online now! I had to redesign a few functions on the Setup page, and took some of that extra time to add even more features to it as well! Hope you all enjoy it! :laugh::good::highfive:

hi! it might confuse to others. maybe you should edit the numbering in the next update. if you can see no.3 is flash kernel and rom while no.4 is gain root.

I believe the numbering is correct, as you need to flash a working ROM and Kernel before you can gain root on your phone.
yes. what i'm trying to say is for example, if a first timer follow the numbering and after he/she flashed custom recovery and want to flash a custom rom or custom kernel it wont flash because the phone is not yet rooted. well that's just me.;)

A bit of help please

I have used this tool kit this morning. flashed custom recovery. CWM. Done a back up. Loaded Viper ROM to SD card. Loaded ROM ok.
I am stuck on the HTC screen.
I erased cache, flashed boot img, erased cache again. wiped all data, reloaded ROM, and I am trying it again.
But in your all in one tool kit it says at the top

error; device not recongised, but it still says it has flashed the boot img and erased the cache.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks

You have to make sure your phone is in Fastboot mode. To do that, go to the GroupBox on the right side labeled "Reboot" and choose the "Bootloader" button. Once your phone has rebooted successfully, you should be able to correctly flash the boot.img and erase the cache.

I've done at and this is the message I get ...

erasing 'system'...
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.155s

What command are you using that gives you that message?

I tried flashing the boot image by selecting 'Flash System ' then selected boot.img from my fastboot folder.

I cannot see a direct ' flash boot.img ' command in the tool kit

Thankyou for your help so far

I have come from a stock ruu, do I need to root the phone first ?

You are using the wrong command. A boot.img can also be known as a Kernel. On the Setup tab, in the bottom left, there is button named Flash Kernel. Use that with the boot.img instead.

    Is it support Windows 8?

    Sent from my HTC One X Viper x 3.8.0 Final using XDA Premium app

    It's designed to look like Windows 8, and was built on a computer running Windows 8, so it better support Windows 8! :p:D
