The only original file you need is the Unlock_code.bin. They emailed this to you, that's the only way you can get the file. So if you did not delete the email, you can just go and download it again from your email. If you did delete it, it's most likely still in your email's trash bin.
BTW you do not need any original files to relock. Just boot back into fastboot usb mode and do as they said in the thread "fastboot oem lock"
I still have the file that htc emailed me. But in the instructions it list needing to move 2 other files to the android folder you create.
So basically just move the unlock.bin to that folder and follow the instructions as normal?

Are you talking about these 3 files adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll, fastboot.exe? Really he shouldnt have said to move them. You can leave them where they are at. On your PC navigate to C:\Android\platform-tools and they should all be there still. Look and see if they are. If they are not, then I can send them to you.
If they are still there, then you just navigate to that directory in CMD prompt and follow his instructions. Where he says to navigate to C:\Android you instead navigate directly to C:\Android\platform-tools in cmd. Does that make sense?

I never had a directory called C:\android\platform-tools. I could not get any fastboot commands to work without having those 3 other files in the same directory as the Unlock_code.bin I was trying to push. Which is why I told them to put them together, to avoid the same issue I was having.

if you update your SDK to the latest you will see. Everyone should update their sdk once every month or so. you put your unlock file in that folder too, it's same instructions they tell you, but instead of moving those files out, you keep them there and you move your unlock file in. so you don't break the SDK for future stuff.

I'm having trouble downgrading to 8.2.2.9 from 8.2.2.13. When I power down the unit and try to install the update it shows a progress bar for 2 seconds and then shows a warning symbol. It eventually starts up, but it is still 8.2.2.13. Is there anything I am missing here?
I tried placing the unzipped files on the root of my SD card, and then powered down my Transformer. Powered back on by holding down power and volume down.
Please help.
Did you put this file in the root of the sd card US_epad-user-8.2.3.9.zip?

Where is that located? I downloaded the file from Asus's site, and the unzipped it, and then just placed the contents in the root of the SD card. I'm not seeing that file.
It's inside the folder called update
When you unzip the file you downloaded from asus you'll see a folder called asus inside that folder there's another folder called update inside that folder there is the file you need to put in the root of your sd card

i think you just need the tools folder give it a try with a command prompt window
In new SDK there's no ADB in the zip file, you need to go to "tools" directory and run i think it is "android" command and it will allow you to download. It will go to "platform-tools" directory.
There is also a text file in tools directory explaining this

MD5? thanks in advance!
Thank you guys for your help so far. I'm finally working on doing the actual root.
Where do I place the blob zip file? Inside of the Platform tools? Or just inside of Android-SDK?
When I got to step 4, nothing happened.

You shoul extract files from zip and put CWM_BLOB_5, gingerbreakBB and superuser in platform-tools folder and then adb push gingerbreakBB (step 2) change file permission (step 3) run adb shell and execute gingerbreakBB (step 4) and let it do its magic to get temp root
After this you can push cwmblob to install CWM and insecure boot and you'll be ROOTED

That means you haven't pushed gingerbreakbb to the transformer
You have to make sure you have all them files in the platform tools folder and start from step 2 again after executing step 2 you should see transfer confirmation eg 300 kb <21500 bytes in 0.70s> and then proceed further if you can't see transfer confirmation check first if adb detects your device if not try reinstalling usb drivers or execute adb remount
Hope this helps

After running "adb push gingerbreakBB /data/local/" in step 2 the command prompt gives me back a bunch of information like : Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.26.
ADB is detecting my device. Maybe I am missing something else?

All you should get is transfer conf, the "Android debug..." info only appears when there is something wrong with adb command so it looks like you're doing something wrong there
Just a quick example how the command line should look like
C:\android\android-sdk\platform-tools\adb push gingerbreakBB /data/local

That's exactly how my command prompt looks like. I'm reinstalling the Android SDK now. Hopefully that fixes things.
Not to totally hijack this thread, but does this downgrading work on 3.1? Because I downloaded the file and well I get cogs and the exclamation mark. Sucks for me cause I'd like to downgrade and then install the rooted 3.1 file.
Edit: I forgot the most important step; Removing the sd card and installing it again.
Be sure to place the update file in the external SDcard root and be sure to name it exactly
EP101_SDUPDATE.zip
or it won't work

While unlocking bootloader HTCdev site gave required resources "android-sdk" . is it required dat.. cz we need only
adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
fastboot.exe
files in that.. so i got these three files in jaggy tutorial "A310E_Recovery.zip" . in that zip we have those three also.. so should we need android-sdk??
no you don't just get the filee
so we need to download adroid-sdk.. is it must..
I just said you don't need sdk get the required files alone but take care your files are genuine means working not corrupt if ya got them from a good place they will work nicely
so your saying if we have those three files.. we can unlock bootloadre.. eventhought we dont have SDK..?? it is not necessary to download that SDK..
i have small doubt like.. see HTCdev unlocking bootloader.. in step 5. they said create a folder in C-drive and put these three.. if i have these three can i skip to step 6.. witout seing "To find these files:"
Duh,ofc I did same way
i have small doubt like.. see HTCdev unlocking bootloader.. in step 5. they said create a folder in C-drive and put these three.. if i have these three can i skip to step 6.. witout seing "To find these files:"
and what they are saying in step 7 - "Navigate to where you unzipped the ZIP file and go to the folder you just created (For Example: If you created the folder in C:\Android, then you would type in Command Prompt: cd c:\Android)." we haven unziped any file no..
I had android sdk installed. And the 3 files were in the sdk installation directory. So, i created the C:/Android folder and put those files. And continued with the instructions. Hence, i didn't unzip any file.

i have downloaded sdk in "http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html" i got zipfile.. so i extracted so i got two folders and one setup file as

3.SDKmanager.exe
should i need to install SDKmanager.. or can i get those three files in SDK folder... cz i saw those three files in sdk folder>platform tools.
P.S. i dint install sdk manager..
No problem. You navigate to the unzipped folder & continue. Alternatively, install the sdk. You may need it later.

2. to install sdk.. i jus need to run SDKmanager.exe.. am i right.. cz i clicked it but nothing happening..
Yes, it's all fine. Just properly follow the instructions.
See in the sdk folder, if you find some installer file. Or, check if it is already installed.
I downloaded an installer file from developer.android.com & simply installed it.

Well, first, turn off the phone and charge it so you don't loose battery.
Second, never install another recovery on top of an existing one without knowing what you are doing - ask first.. (You get into the built-in recovery on that cm10.1 by tapping the volume down button at the end of the red moto logo when the lights come on).
Next, you could possibly fix your system with adb and switching some files.. but that would take a lot of explaining if you are not familiar with it.. plus, you might not get adb recognized during the bootloop.
So, you need to use the FXZ files for your phone/region... Or, just flash the system.img only.. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41436876&postcount=1106 - and see the link linked there.
EDIT: If you can get adb recognized, you might be able to just run these few lines to fix things from the command prompt:
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
rm /system/bin/hijack
sh /system/bin/finalize_release
exit

I am very confused at what you want to do. That link is only to root your device. But, if you are bootlooping, you need to replace your system.img.
You should download the entire SBF/FXZ zip file for your device/region/firmware. Then unzip it into a folder on your computer (best if it's close to C:\ with spaces in the path). Are you using a Windows OS on your computer?
Then, grab the restore-to-ics_win-batch.zip AND the restore-ics-system-only.bat.txt (remove the .txt extension) attached in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36834775&postcount=108
Mix those files in with the big FXZ files that you just unzipped. Then run the .bat file to flash the system.img only. If that doesn't work, then open the other .bat file (use Notepadd++ or similar), check that everything that is being flashed is actually in your folder and has the same name... and flash the entire FXZ. If none of that helped, then you probably flashed the wrong files to your phone.
Just flashing the system.img only is probably the safest.. Because if it's wrong, you can just flash another one. The other files in the FXZ package can mess up your phone if they are not for your specific device.
EDIT: If you still did not flash anything else, you could try to use adb... Get that restore-to-ics_win-batch.zip that I linked above.. Unzip it to your desktop. Power on your phone so it bootloops and connect with USB. Open a command prompt on the restore-to-ics_win-batch folder by holding down shift and right-click. Then type adb devices - if it returns a number with the word "device" (not the word "offline"), then you can try to use those adb codes I posted in my previous post. Otherwisem you need to use fastboot and flash fxz or system only.

Thanks guys for the wonderful tutorial...
Solved the issue by inserting a sim card into the phone.
Now I'm on CM 10.1
I have a LG nexus 5 and started playing around with software, Installed cyanogenmod to see what it had to offer.
Now I want to go back and I have succeeded in that but when I type fastboot oem device-info in cmd it says that the device has been tampered with.
I have access to Android toolkit PRO for nexus 5 so if anyone can give me a short guide step by step I would be very thankful.
For your information I have tried alot of different solutions none seem to work.
1.1 unlock fastboot
1.2 fastboot flash a recovery
1.3 flash the tamper fix zip
1.4 fastboot flash back to stock
1.5 check status
1.6 lock fastboot

Then you're doing it wrong. You need to type the path to the recovery. So if it's in c drive
fastboot flash recovery c:\twrp.img
Or if it's on your desktop
fastboot flash recovery c:\users\senseiblaze\desktop\twrp.img
Also note, the file must be called twrp.img. if it's called recovery.img, adjust your commands accordingly. It's also Case sensitive.
All basic stuff that every rooted user should know

Instead of flashing the twrp recovery boot from it.
Fastboot boot recovery recovery.img
Because as far as I can remember flashing that zip will also lock the bootloader.

Your phone is booted into fastboot, right?
What is output of "fastboot devices"

It is booted into fastboot yes. What do you mean by output of fastboot devices?
I'm from Sweden so I rly didn't understand what you meant by that last sentence
Also I noticed your file is called "TWRP.img" but the file directly above it is called "setup". Usually I would expect it to be "setup.exe" which means that you probably have the "hide extensions for known file types" set in windows explorer > organize > folder options...
If you turn this off, I'm hoping you'll see that you actually have TWRP.img.img which is of course, incorrect

Seems like a lot of novice users make this same mistake. Perhaps a note of caution should be added to the guides?
Hi guys
After a few weeks on f2fs i decided to revert back y filesystem to ext4. Everything goes well except sideloading new rom to my device ( as its completely wiped ) Everything is now formated to ext4. Then the problem starts..
When I'm trying to sideload the rom i get error 'cannot read' even though I've put rom in my adb folder and my device is connected in sideload mode.
If someone could help me via team viewer ( free software allowing you to use my PC from yours PC ) it would be super great.
Thanks
When you type adb devices is your phone recognized?

Must give the path to your ROM zip. Your cmd prompt runs from c: \users\koppa but the ROM is not there.
You can't put the ROM in the adb folder. That only works if. You haven't added adb to your environment variable path and you have cd to that location
To get this to work either put the ROM in c: \users\koppa or cd to your adb folder or give the full path in the command

I don't think rootSU or I are going to pm you. The answers here can help others and it's best to keep them here. Did you put the rom.zip in the folder rootSU suggested?
okay
I just thought that you could help with this via TeamViewer so i could learn how to and you know, not spend another hour or two doing super basic things.
+yes
What directory is your ROM.zip?

I'm trying to flash stock 4.4.3
Its placed in a few places... C:/users/kopa/adb C:/users/kopa/desktop C:/users/kopa

A neat little trick with Windows and cmd is to back out of the folder you are in. So, if the path was C:\Users\toster jp\adb, back out to the C:\Users\toster jp folder. Hold shift and right click the adb folder. Select Open command window here. Then, cmd automatically cd to the proper directory. Then your adb sideload rom.zip will work.

Be explicit please
Also don't forget you must enable sideload in recovery
