Are you sure it doesn't install the driver?
What player do you use? because HTC music player needs some modification to make it works with Viper
You better S-OFF your device

i use google music as my player.
and no it doesnt install the driver, though i dont really know where to look but everytime i restart my phone and go back into viper it keeps telling me that it needs to install the driver.
I'd rather not go through s-off when it can be easier to just install a kernel that allows for s-off like functionality without mucking with the bootloader with rumrunner and whatnot. it's just my preference.
Do you have busybox installed? If not you'll need that and I personally recommend and app called busybox on rails. Also try uninstalling the app. Then take the apk, put it in the system/app folder. Change permissions and restart. After that go to the app drawer and select Viper. You must have some internet connection. Viper will ask to update and reply yes and answer the other questions it ask. Then restart again. And it should be working. Also I'm sure you know that it requires root. Hope this helps.

installed busybox via update.zip due to being s-on before new kernel.
i use this busybox: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox
I'll see about installing it via /system/app.
EDIT: ok wierd. it didnt stay in /system/app. i think the kernel just stops the phone from rebooting if you mess with the system partition...
As I said earlier in the kernel thread, to disable system write protection, you need to change it in the kernel. I'll make one for zara_UL and maybe also for zara_CL

So I rooted my tblot no problem but when i rooted my manager's i keep having a problem with the superuser process force closing. I've tried rerooting and reinstalling superuser, updating su... phone is rooted and s-off. I would try and figure it out myself but i only have access to it at work when i bring my laptop in and mess with it on my lunch. So basically i was just wondering if anyone had the same problem and how they fixed it.

Did you try fixing permissions? It's in Rom Manager.
Rom manager can't run because the superuser process force closes whenever you try and run anything that requires root permissions
Another weird thing is that he is able to uninstall superuser from the manage applications menu

There are some borked versions of superuser out there. Make sure you're installing a very well-trusted ROM with a known-good superuser app.

You can also fix permissions by booting into recovery.
Is there a release of clockwork mod outside of rom manager for the thunderbolt? i tried finding a zip to flash in fastboot but to no avail

I had a similar issue a while back. I had to redo the entire root process from scratch using the adb method, then I installed a rom that had the superuser fix from rmk40; most TB roms use the fix. Good luck!

Your issue may be related to how busybox is installed. A standard "busybox --install [path]" will create a link for busybox's su. If that's earlier on the path than the correct su for Android, it will cause problems. The easy fix is, after installing busybox, remove the su it created.
Everyone seems to do different things with busybox. It may be placed in different places, and may not be "installed" with the links created.
I put it in /system/sbin, and create the links there. If you followed the common instructions for root, that su should be in /system/xbin. The standard PATH is =/sbin:/system/sbin:/system/bin:/system/xbin
From adb shell, do a "busybox which su" It should say "/system/xbin/su"
I wish someone who was setup for cross-compiling would do a busybox with no su, and with "ls --color=never" the default.
Makes sense... unfortunately i don't have too much access to his phone to mess with it. Here's hoping the tbolt gets unrevoked support soon...

is that even possible? my friend wants to be able to video chat, so i pulled the latest gtalk apk from viper rom, but i just realized because her phone is not rooted, and she does not have write access to the system, so she cant install this over the one she has now? any feedback or workarounds would be greatly appreciated
(yes i already searched)

Have you tried just installing the apk itself using ES File Explorer or Astro? I am not too sure if that will actually work but I don't know why it wouldn't.

I just upgraded to JB on my HTC Evo 4G lte. I am S-ON rooted and everything is working except SuperSU v0.99. I see several others are having the same issue. We are rooted and our apps can obtain root but when you open the SuperSU app, it wants to update the binary. If you allow it to update the phone crashes and reboots. If you select cancel SuperSU closes and you cannot get to any of the settings. There does not seem to be a solution that I have found. I would like to switch to another Superuser app but can't seem to find instructions on how to do so.Will changing to another Superuser app even solve the problem? Ideas?
Edit: Upon further investigation it appears that changing to ChainDD's superuser app may not solve the issue of not being able to update the binaries. So what is the solution?
Edit: I got my answer:

The only solution is to get s-off. It looks like the new hboot locks the system partition so apps such as supersu and ad-free aren't going to work for you anymore.

I'm having the same issue. I switched to superuser and now I'm rooted as root checker states but I can't use adaway any more as Xhausx mentioned that the system directory in JB is locked now and the only way to make it work is to get s-off which is not available right now and i doubt it will be.

I was wondering if anyone has installed Viper4Android on this device. I had it on my previous phone and it worked flawlessly; all my music sounded amazing.
But ever since we achieved root, I couldn't successfully install it. It keeps telling me Busybox is broken or not installed, and therefore won't let me install the audio drivers.
Can anyone try installing it, if they can? My favorite band just released a new album and I'd love to hear it with a good equalizer.

I have just installed it successfully and it works perfectly on MT2-L05 4.4.2
I have busybox ( stericson ) installed on my phone. Maybe you can delete whatever version of busybox that you have installed and try to install stericson Busybox from playstore?
Good Luck !

I've tried many Busybox versions, including stericson and it still won't work. Maybe the OS has something to do with it, if it works on KitKat and not Jelly Bean?
I failed to as well. I even tried the zip install.
Sent from my MT2L03 using Tapatalk
I tried everything today: manual Viper installation, different Busybox versions, etc., still doesn't work.
Maybe the KitKat update will make it possible. That is, if we ever get a KitKat update... I may not use a Huawei phone again if we don't get updates. There's already been so many issues (for me at least) with Emotion being so extensively modified from regular Android. And we don't have any developers at all. I'll probably go Nexus next time.

I am using it now flawlessly. The driver cannot be installed automatically but you can manage to use the flashable zip file to install it manually.
First uninstall the app and backup your build.prop.
Download the flashable zip file here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps/discussion-viper4android-t2543796
Reboot to your TWRP and flash the zip file and reboot. The zip file would install the apk file in /system/priv-app which is actually not recognized by the Huawei system. So please manually move the apk file to /system/app or /data/app , or just install it and remove whatever file left in /system/priv-app
And then start the app you should be able to install the driver. Actually the driver has been installed after you flashed the zip file.
Since it will modify your build.prop, so please make a backup. And in my case it broke my build.prop so I had to modify the file manually. There is an example in the link above. Please append the followings at the end of your build.prop.
Code:
##Viper4android
lpa.decode=false
tunnel.decode=false
lpa.use-stagefright=false
lpa.releaselock=false
OK. Reboot and you are all set.
Again, if you encounter soft brick and the system ui fails to appear, high chances that V4a broke or deleted your build.prop. Make sure you make a back up of that file first.

Yes and yes. I am using the US version MT2L03 and it can be used to boost my earbud volume.
Sweet, I thought you had the non-US version at first. I'll install TWRP soon, try this and report back!
I managed to install it...but I dont know which settings will let me do this.
I want to increase the volume of the phone when using it as a phone held up to my ear without affecting battery drain. There are too many options. The FAQ links to a site to explain the settings but that site is down. Help?
Update: never mind I uninstalled viper4android (reverted to backup actually). It barely increased the volume but it would crash my phone when connecting to Bluetooth despite it being disabled for bluetooth.
Works great but shuts down when the screen sleeps. No option in the apps list to keep it running.

There was the option to mark it as a protected app for me but that's because i installed it to /data/app by copying it there. Did you install it to /system/app maybe?
I found it too buggy to keep though so I dont use it now.

In the Viper settings, you can set "Show notification", so the system won't kill the app when the screen is off. If that's not enough, what I did on my previous phone was use this app to protect Viper. Install that, go to "Tasks", tap on Viper, and select "Exclude" on the bottom left.
Root the device (search how to root the device Huwei Mate 2)
Change to permissive mode with “SELinux Mode Changer” apk from xda or search.
Enable developer options (tapping the Settings->Builld Number several times will enable the developer options, by default it is hidden from the user) and uncheck Use Nuplayer option.
Install the viper4android (get the latest untouched viper4android from original viper4android thread).
optional making viper4andriod as system app(refer how to make system app, if you want to make viper4andorid as system app)
set following values on the “build.prop” using the (Build Prop Editor, search for apk)
##Viper4android
lpa.decode=false
tunnel.decode=false
lpa.use-stagefright=false
lpa.releaselock=false
Run following commands with “Terminal Emulator” apk (search playstore or internet)
>>su
>>/system/xbin/supolicy --live "allow mediaserver mediaserver_tmpfs:file { read write execute };"
Open the viper4android and install the drivers.
Reboot the device
After reboot Launch the viper4android and check the driver status then you will see driver status normal.
feel free to play with compatible mode option or other options to suit your needs.
Thanks, guy with one post who revived a year old thread. If anyone tries this let us know how you made out, I guess.

I've been using V4A on stock ROMS and on CM ROMS with no issues at all.
I'd really like to install Viper FX Audio, that's my latest struggling. I've tried, busy box Stephen (Stericson), busy box on rails, and tried converting it into system app.
But every time it says install busy box. Am on rooted 4.3 Please help.
Also, if there is any thing better then Viper Audio please mention steps here.

There was a flashable ZIP which I used before upgrading to 5.1, but when I went back to 4.3 I looked at that thread and the OP updated it to Lollipop only. I don't know about any other flashable ZIP's.

You can install the apk and go through the driver install process and if you choose, you can always make it a system app using titanium backup

I tried installing through the APK many times (even the one in the Play Store), but it would give an error message whenever I tried to install the driver saying something about Busybox, even though I have it installed.

Nope. Installing Viper gives the same error message, for me and everyone else that tried it, even way before the 5.1 update was a thing. We've been trying it since most of us got the phone, one year ago.

Here's what I did, since you mentioned a restart post busybox installation.
Installed Viper, choose Power Saving Mode, Installed Busybox (free) from playstore, restarted it, same driver error, Converted it into system app, same sh*t, no solution
Am sure no one here is using Viper Audio Mate2 4.3 and if they are then they aren't sharing solution.
Also, I've searched the official Viper Audio thread too for a solid answer but no luck.
Player Pro gets stopped randomly, thought it was Xposed, uninstalled that too. Xposed is anyway not much of help to me.
Thanks anyway, all of you.

I'm no longer on 4.3 and I forget if I got V4A to work on 4.3. I am sure no one is holding back in helping you. That's not how we roll on XDA (unless you are a total lazy a$$ and require hand holding, which is not you). Sorry I am unable to offer more.
The only solution was to flash a ZIP, but like I said, that ZIP has been updated to Lollipop only. Before the ZIP was updated, I flashed it on my phone on 4.3 and it worked. Viper installed, and I was happy.
There is no way to install it on 4.3 anymore, unless there is another flashable ZIP somewhere out there.
