i have registered on htcdev.com.
i followed the steps to the point where i had to execute the fastboot file to get an identifier token using a cmd command.
for some reason it say "waiting for device"
it has been like that for hours.
tried it about 3 times. I had a problem with rebooting into bootloader using VOLUME DOWN + POWER button so i ised abd and it worked
exact command i typed was "fastboot oem get_identifier_token"
PLEASE HELP ME
You don't have the right drivers for fastboot, it seems.
Find a guide and install them.
I always run ADB devices or fastboot devices first to check that I'm connected to the phone, before running any other commands.

i'm in the process of re-locking my bootloader in order to send it to Samsung for repair (home button not working). when i run the command line "fastboot oem lock", it just keeps hanging at "waiting on device" and nothing happens. i have the correct drivers installed. when i run "adb devices", it shows up the device. however, when i run "fastboot devices", it does not show up anything. any help on relocking my bootloader would be appreciated. Thanks!
Probably shouldn't be answering this here buuuuut...
adb reboot bootloader
and THEN
fastboot oem lock.
See what happens. You have to be in boot loader mode. Please move your questions to the Q&A section sir.
i did enter that command in order to get into fastboot. after that , i ran the command "fastboot oem lock" but it gets stuck at "waiting on device"
Update your drivers
Yea at this point I'd say its a connectivity problem. Drivers and or cable, but since you are getting adb devices to recognize, its not your cable. You should really use ubuntu, you would save yourself a lot of time, because you don't really have to deal with drivers like windows.
'sudo fastboot oem lock'
You need to be super user.
sure you went into bootloader and not recovery? because adb is seen in recovery and doesnt work in bootloader!
while unlocking bootloader on the command prompt window i gave first command ''fastboot'" devices and it succeded but when i entered the second command correctly along with the key it showed failed to command ,,plssss help i want to unlock the bootloader
Which method you used for unlocking bootloader and which phone you are using
I have followed the instructions 3 times and keep getting same result it like adb is not reconizing my phone but my computer is? any help please
Adb commands work when the rom is booted and fastboot commands are needed to unlock the bootloader.

HI
I tried to unlock the bootloader in oneplus 7. (Did all necessary setting like oem unlocking,Android reboot, USB debugging, USB installer)
when i reboot the device using bootloader, Device appearing in fastboot mode.
But when i check in "fastboot devices" there is no listing of devices !!
Normal "adb devices" is listing the device.
when i try to execute the command "fastboot oem unlocking " -Nothing is happening in Mobile.
Kindly help to resolve this issue.

What does it say on the phone?
Sent from my mata using XDA Labs
possibly change the USB cable and use the one supplied with the device
ignore
I posted this in the appropriate forum but this phone is so old I've not received any response.
So I've decided to root and customize my Z2 Force and want to unlock the bootloader to get TWRP installed. All device side settings are correct (USB Debug, OEM unlock etc.) in developer mode. ADB commands are working fine as I can see my SN when using ADB Devices command. I then reboot to the bootloader through ADB (adb reboot bootloader) and it works fine and my Z2 boots into the bootloader. Then I try to get the unlock code (fastboot oem unlock) and I get a message after trying to run the command: access denied. I started my CMD window using run as admin - no help. Installed ADB all over again with new generic drivers and moto drivers - no help. Even installed everything in the root directory on my hard drive - no help
I don't understand why I'm getting this message. I've unlocked and rooted all my phones over the years but they've all been HTC. Never messed with a moto phone before. Anyone think this is a permalocked bootloader version - MODEL:XT1789-04 TYPE:M29E2
Things I have not tried yet:
Another computer
Tested fastboot command on one of my other phones
Any help is appreciated.

The process to unlock a moto phone is a bit different. OEM commands are as it says, defined by the OEM. They need to be precise and functional. The command:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
alone will not work.
Step1:
Instead, You should enter:
Code:
fastboot oem get_unlock_data
You will get an unique 131 ID string that looks for example like this:
Code:
(bootloader) 0000000000000000000000000000001
(bootloader) 0000000000000000000000000000002
(bootloader) 0000000000000000000000000000003
(bootloader) 0000000000000000000000000000004
(bootloader) 0000005
Copy the output to a text editor and delete the (bootloader) and the spaces in between, so it's one whole string.
Step2:
Visit the official Moto unlock website. Sign-in with your account, you will be using the E-mail used to create said account to receive the unlock key. Paste the edited 131 ID string and click Can my device be unlocked? button. If it is unlockable, then a conformation page will appear asking for consent and warranty bla bla bla.... Just read it and accept.
Step3:
When you click unlock, you will receive a KEY through your E-mail attached to the moto account used. Save that E-mail somewhere offline, as it can be used to re-unlock the bootloader in the future if you relock it. Connect your device in fastboot again and type:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock KEY
Where KEY is the one you got in the E-mail.
Done!!! Enjoy your freedom , also check the mark near my answer if it solved your question so others don't have to search for long.
Thanks for your reply. Yes I wrote the fastboot command wrong in my post.
The problem I'm having is even when using the fastboot command you posted I still get "access denied" when using fastboot commands. ADB works fine allowing me to reboot into the bootloader through the command prompt/USB as in ADB devices.

As long as in Android -> Settings -> Developer options the option "OEM unlock" isn't got enabled - and phone got rebooted afterwards - you receive the reported error.
OEM unlocking is turned on in developer settings
I'll post up some screenshots soon. Right now I'm on day three of work on the 12 hour night shift.
