Hey guys I'm in the process of using the new rooting method and I'm at the part where I put the unlock_code.bin into my phone but I go into my computer and my phone doesn't show up. I am currently in bootloader and stopped for fear of hurting my phone. How do I proceed? So sorry for being such a noob but I'd really really appreciate it if someone could help me!

So your CID was successfully set?
Yes my CID was set. I need help with the unlock_code.bin
So I tried to run the command fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin as you are supposed to in the HTCdev site but this is the response:
'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

you need to have fastboot executable installed in that directory also is your phone in debugging mode ?
take a peak at gunny's adb/fastboot primer here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1754018
hopefully that'll do it. good luck
ostoristn accomplish
Ok I put fastboot in there and it still didn't work. The phone is currently in bootloader. Yes I had debugging on when I switched it to bootloader.
What do you mean by didn't work? What is happening now when you run fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin

go into the directory where your adb is and run "adb devices" from command prompt and let's see if your device is recognized, if it isn't it might be your drivers or try a different usb port.

Are you executing the commands from the folder where fastboot exists ? For example
You have adb, fastboot in C:\android-sdk\platform-tools" then you need to goto C:\android-sdk\platform-tools" ( Or folder where adb and fastboot exists) then "Press shift + right click and select "Open command window here" ( open command prompt and cd "folder where adb and fastboot exists) and then execute the command

i wanted to flash the new firmware onto my phone so i could flash ics, but one of the requirements is to have superCID.
ive been following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
But, everytime i get to the command, "fastboot oem writecid 11111111" it only gives me a message saying, 'fastboot' is not recognized as internal or external command, operable program batch file.
is there anything i may have missed? ive tried starting over thinking i may have written a command wrong but it still wont work.
thanks in advance guys
Is fastboot present in your sdk installation? If I remember well it should be in "tools" folder of the SDK files.
Try to update your packages through SDK manager.
Re-download, the fastboot package and then unzip...
Open the folder where you see a file called Fastboot.exe
Right click anywhere while holding shift button and press open command here...
Then type that command which you want for CiD
Don't frget to thanx if it works

it turns out that fastboot wasnt in my adb folder but was in my android sdk folder, so i just copied and pasted it into the adb file and tried again, this time it works. thanks guys now onto flashing the new firmware
Hi,
please help me! I hope it is not a brick.
I wanted to make full wipe. I made factory reset in recovery and then wiped sdcard.. Now I cannot boot ROM because there is no one and I have nothing on my SD. So I even cannot copy rom or backup back to phone.
Is there any way out? (
EDIT: I think I can push files (e.g. backup) through adb, right? I installed adb for dummies but when I want to execute SDKmanager.exe. it only opens black window and immediately closes it. I cannot continue

Access your commands through a terminal window, like start > run > cmd to get into the prompt.
and from there work your way to your directory where you have placed it, and execute the command from that directory directly.

Thanks!
In the end I used adb to push backup in recovery...
All this I did because I wanted wipe my device - today I woke up and got a call and found out that my earphone stopped working I am afraid that it is due to condensation and next oxidation... I did not do anything wrong but when you come from cold winter weather into a warm flat it can happen Now I need to send it and hope the warranty will pass..
Anyway, I was looking for complete unroot process and found several advices. I am not clever from them. Is it enough to flash stock ROM? Recovery will be removed as well??

1.Switch off your phone
2.Connect your phone to your PC throught the USB cable
3.Switch on phone into fastboot
4.Provided that you have the driver for windows for the phone installed open Start/run/cmd (from your PC)
5.From the Android-SDK/platform-tools run the following "fastboot oem lock".
like :
C:\Android-sdk\platform-tools\fastboot oem lock
this will lock it immediately ...

it works only in "tools" and then it just says "waiting for device" and stucks When I tried "fastboot devices" it says nothing... I tried to reinstall drivers but maybe I have some old version? When I am in Windows copying files etc. it works well.
1. Make sure you open the command prompt IN in the folder with fastboot.exe.
2. Put the phone in fastboot mode.
3. In the command prompt type fastboot devices.
It will now show your serial number. If not its either you are such a noob that you managed to screw that up or the fastboot drivers are not installed. Or both.

OK. I really dont understand what could have been screwed up. Ok. It doesnt show anything. Just nothing. Cen you please send me the link for the drivers which should work? Maybe there is the problem.

If you have i9023 you need to add a line into the sdk for driver. You can search the tutorial threads for it.

try this
just check if you have fastboot and adb on the same folder, when I've rooted mine's got this issue, if cmd report "the command is an external one" simply means there is no such program in the folder you are in
copy both adb and fastboot in tools and platform-tools too, so you can run the command in both folder
cd>desktop > cd android>cd android-sdk> cd tools (then run adb or fastboot)
cd>desktop > cd android>cd android_sdk> cd platform-tools (thr run adb or fastboot)
1. Find out exactly what phone model you have if you don't know already.
2. Do the same for your computers os . Including 32 or 64 bit.
3. Combine that info and search the forum or just Google search. How to install fastboot drivers for phone model in step 1 with the os in step 2.

Thank you all. I decided to unroot it and relock it using Odin software which was great and quick. So I am done.... Adb has a lot of problems with drivers, commands, paths. This way was much easier

You need to cd in cmd to the directory you extracted your sdk tools to. Or drop the fastboot and adb files from your download into c:\windows\system32. Or add your extracted directory to environment variables as per the link.
Its not difficult if you read

Just go into the fastboot folder in cmd that gave you the error
Example: C:\Users\Vishnu\Downloads\Fastboot>fastboot oem lock
'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Now in cmd type cd fastboot again
C:\Users\Vishnu\Downloads\Fastboot>cd fastboot
enter
so now it should say something like this
C:\Users\Vishnu\Downloads\Fastboot\Fastboot>
after that type in fastboot and whatever command you need like fastboot oem lock or whatever
That should do it

You do have the adb-tools and the adb-treiber folders right? And you have run the file in the adb-treiber folder, and unlocked the bootloader from the adb-tools folder, good.
Now copy all the files from the hammerhead-lrx21o folder into the adb-tools folder, and try and run the flash-all.bat file again.
Let me know if it works, it did for me.

Easiest way is to extract the sh1t out of the Google file until you eventually see all the img files. Then extract the fastboot zip into the same folder they're in and open a command prompt there.

Hi All, I hope someone can help.
I got this phone in December, and unlocked it, flashed TWRP and rooted.
My phone automaticly updated and was on version 7.1.2. But Super SU wasnt working anymore.
I tried to boot into TWRP but it was saying somthing like "No command given" when I tried.
I used Skipsoft toolkit to flash the recovery again (What I originally used) and when the phone rebooted, it gets to the Google logo and instantly reboots.
I can get to bootloader, but if I select recovery, it reboots.
Is there anything I can do here?
I did a backup in TWRP before I flashed, its stored on the phone.
Thanks in advance
I would use the tool to go back to stock. Just pick the last Google is the app I believe its V. Either update to the lastest software or I just flashed a rom with the newest vender
Hi, Thanks for your reply.
How can I do this though, I cant get the phone to boot, or into recovery
Is there a way I can use adb to push a TMRP so I can restore my backup?
My PC makes the noise as if something is attached by USB, but when I do adb devices, nothing shows.
Hi all,
I managed to sort it out and restore to original as advised above with fastboot. Never used it before, but I followed this guide and it worked great.

I probably should have clarified, but by quoting step 7 as the point it failed, I meant to imply that I had performed steps 1-6. Step 6 is the "open command prompt here" step.

That error means flash-all.bat is not in the same directory as the command prompt you opened. You unzipped it elsewhere, didn't unzip it or you opened the command prompt in the wrong place.
