Sorry if this is in the wrong place. Ive been using this website to teach myself how to root and unroot almost every phone out there, and I swear I searched for both model name and number but it looks like no one has touched the Viper. All i keep getting is ViperMOD. I know something is available for this phone because the ones I have are rooted. But I need to unroot and it's like that model doesn't even exist. Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT:
Oh no way!! I found a whole 3 pages. Starts here for anyone searching like me... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1549404

hey guys im new to the scene and trying to figure as much stuff out on my own as i can, usually i do a good job and don't need to ask for help. but i do when i have to, so the problem i am having is with a sony xperia play .
its my brothers phone and i was thinking about getting one but i want to "root" it and see whats what with it but i am trying to do so without unlocking the bootloader just incase anything goes wrong with it later so it remains under warranty. im coming from the iphone jail-breaking scene so this is a little different. but i want to give it a go. so i'm trying to root it i checked out this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765&page=1
i realize at the top of the post it says not all devices are supported because of new FW's does the FW i am on fall in this category?
i tried it with the 1.2.apk and the 1.1
im not sure why it is not working.
but i have a feeling its got something to do with the FW the phone has come with
its running 2.3.3
build number 3.0..1.A.0.145
model number r800i
kernal version 2.6.32.9-perf
i formatted the SD card before anything then after i installed gingerbreak to the phone itself. (also tried it without formatting it, i installed gingerbreak and tried to run it then and it didnt work so i rebooted formatted SD card and tried again and still nothing)
made sure the phone was set to be in USB debugging mode.
gingerbreak opens and has the options there but when i tap "root device" it just says "running exploit" ect on screen and nothing changes. on the post it says usually about 10 minutes but i read through it and one person said it worked for theirs but it took an hour and a half, but another said it took 3-5 minutes.
so i do not know what i am doing wrong. but i have a feeling its the FW it has come with out of the box but i have not been able to find out any information about it as of yet.
i have found another post saying to flash it with a UK generic FW 2.3.2 .184
but im guessing i cannot downgrade to a FW that was not on the phone from packaging. although i may be wrong but that is usually the norm with this kind of thing.
any help in getting me in the right direction is greatly appreciated, and i hope to be able to help others in the future. yes it doesn't seem like i am of much help right now seeing as i can't even get it rooted yet. but i tend to pick up on things very fast. today i am having trouble getting in to it. but soon enough i will get there thank you to anyone who read this i know it is a little long but i wanted to make sure i gave as much information as possible to make sure i haven't left out something critical if i have left out anything let me know and once again thank you for taking the time to read this post and reply (if you did reply =] )

Hi. I bought my HTC Sensation about two weeks ago and I am very happy with it. But I also read about something about rooting, so that sound interesting to access the whole phone. Correct me if I am wrong.
I have used google and youtube and this site popped up several times and searched around here.
But I am still confused (Yes I am a big noob) on which guide to use. It is so many..
And what happens if it fails? My phone is then a "Brick"? Can I "unbrick" it?
Thanks in advance.
Hi There,
I would really appreciate some help with rooting my HTC Sensation XL which runs Android version 4.0.3.
I am not too sure if I have posted this in the right section so my apologies if I haven't.
OK so I have been trying for about 6 weeks now to ROOT my HTC. The only reason that I wish to do so is so that I can delete the apps that can not be deleted from the phone IE Facebook,Twitter & similar apps. I don't use them any more and because of this I would like them off the phone.
I have spent many of hours trawling the net to find guides and step by steps on how to do this. I wouldn't say I know/understand a lot of what it asks me to do but at the same time I have a little knowledge so that I am not completely in the dark.
But after reading several step by steps,reading about all the files I need,I end up getting lost and very confused half way through so I decided that perhaps an app that does it for me would be best.
I have seen SuperOneClick recommended several times so I thought I couldn't go wrong with it.
I downloaded the file from CNET.It is version 2.3.3. I extracted it,plugged my phone in via usb (made sure it was in debugging mode) and then clicked "RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR" on the actual SOC icon. It brought up the box and I clicked "ROOT". It scrolled and it looked like it was going well until step 7 where it hangs and just states "WAITING FOR DEVICE".I gave it some time but after an hour of it not changing from this,I guessed that something was wrong. Then when I try and click on the window,it becomes unresponsive and I have to force close it.
I have searched for solutions to this,one forum even suggested that I download an older version of SOC which I did. But it pretty much did the same thing,just a different message.
As I said,all I want to do is delete these apps so if anyone can shed some light on the problem I am having and how I can actually root the phone in the most simplest terms (talk to me as if I was your Nan!) then I would be very grateful.
Thank you for your time
Crystal
You should probably move this to the HTC sensation XL thread. This is only the HTC sensation/4g/XE thread. I'm sure there are more people who can help you out if you post in that thread...

Do NOT use any methods of rooting or anything else that you find in this forum. Like the post above says, this forum is for the Non XL Sensation. This is a different device with different processes. Using regular Sensation methods on an XL stands a real good chance of bricking your device.

Ah thank you very much! I couldn't find the forum for the XL so I assumed that this would be the only one. Shall try to find it now.
Hi , im new here and really need some advice.
I purchased a Z3 this week and bought it second hand , even though it is new but without box. I found out it has the dreaded demo app installed because i think it was ex-display in a phone shop. Once i plug in the charge it deletes my photos,contacts,apps etc. and comes up with the demo video. Iv'e tried the codes people usually use and done something else using the computer someone suggested ,but nothing works. I was thinking about rooting the phone but after looking on forums i can't seem to find anything to explain how to root it or even if it's possible yet because its a new phone. Iv'e tried to delete the app it has but it just keeps coming back. So need to find someone way that is like rooting the phone to get access to delete it permanently. If anyone can help , would be much appreciated. Thanks:good:
