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
1.eclipse
2.sdk
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.

what do you mean by later.. in the rooting process.. or some where else..
and do we need to download this and install "Java Runtime Environment: from http://java.com/en/
Yes, Java is important... for many purposes.
And, sdk will be required if you do some development.

thnq dude..
1. can u tell me what would be those steps..
2. if i do anything wrong while in unlocking bootloader.. is there any chance of bricking the fone..
It would be some command in command line. The steps are damn easy, nothing will go wrong here.
Sent from my HTC Explorer A310e using XDA Premium HD app
1. so there will no chance of bricking the fone if i went wrong while unloacking the bootloader..
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.

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.

ok i am trying to put the aeon rom on my infuse, it is rooted with cwm installed. i downloaded the rom from this site , went thru the whole google drive thing and all.ok it downloaded in winrar format , so i created a folder and renamed it zip and put on desktop and then transfered to internal memory on phone. ok i rebooted to cwm , did the wipes like it said then went to install zip from sd, it found the zip and when i selected it it showed all the files in the folder, data,meta-inf,scripts sd card,system ,updates and install busybox. now i am lost as to what to do . do i select these 1 by 1 or did i screw up somewhere before hand.
The file you downloaded should be a zip. Not sure about all the shuffling you did, but you should be able to place the zip you downloaded on your internal sd and flash from recovery. You should not have to do a single thing to the ROM when downloaded other than flash.
Edit...sounds like you were unable to flash the ROM because it was a folder, as opposed to a zip file. Don't pull stuff out of the package, just try changing it from..rar to .zip..then flash.

**** , it keeps downloading as a winrar file , anyway to fix that
ok i did away with my winrar and now have winzip, is that what your talking about or is zip file different, ok looks like i got it now thx alot for the help
Glad you got it. For future flashing, the package you download should be all you need to flash in recovery. No need to pull out files or recreate zips. The devs try to make it easy as possible.

I think your winrar/winzip is just the program.associated with he .zip...i think it was always a .zip...as winzip is not a file...winrar is not a file either...they are just two different programs...

To start over...
From control panel delete all htc related stuff.. Like hyc sync, HTC drivers, HTC driver updater
Then from the soff guide.. Link in my signature... Get the drivers 3.0.0.7 .. I have given link to them at the start(to be more precise ..in the Pr-requisites sub section).. And install it.
Also get the temp root sensation windows zip.(from the same guide) . Extract it.. Rename it as adb folder or something convenient..
Delete the temp_root files.. And you are done.. You will have proper adb/fastboot setup
Edit: also delete the Android-sdk folder from C:

ADB/ADB shell distinction
So I’m trying my best to understand ADB and I’m currently confused about one thing that I’m sure is obvious to those experienced. I’m trying to learn the distinction between the adb command and the adb shell command. I’m guessing I’m wrong but you use the “adb” command when issuing commands between the PC and device whereas the “adb shell” command accesses the Linux terminal of the android system which is the same thing but enables more commands from within the device? I’ve reread over many tutorials and can’t quite get a grasp of the difference and when I need to use one over the other. Any help is appreciated.
With the adb Shell command you can execute Unix programs that comes with the busybox installed on your android device. They are usually located in /system/xbin...
Therefore adb can only use commands/programs that comes with the Installation of the android sdk. So issuing a "adb ls -l /etc" will not succeed, while "adb shell ls -l /etc" will...

I have accidentally installed a theme that is probably of higher resolution than my phone screen. Now in locked mode the unlocking option/pattern/graphics is not visible as it is 'spilling out of screen'.Only a part of large lockscreen wallpaper is occupying my entire screen. Android debugging is on in my device (thankfully). Please suggest me a tool/method using which i can control the phone using PC(or atleast unlock the phone). I (obviously) cannot install anything on my phone, i found some such apps that need installation on phone.
Last option is to flash my phone in recovery with a ROM, but i dont want to do that if other ways possible. my phone is on MIUI ROM developed on 26/9/12
You can wipe your /data in recovery if you don't mind
Or you can manually delete the theme using adb(the apk will be in /data/app).
PS: make a nandroid backup first in case anything goes wrong...
Edit: if you don't know the Apk name, navigate to /data/app and type find(Idk if it will work on windows, cause I tested it in android )

FIRST YOU STOP SPAMMING EVERYWHERE
What is the problem when you can see all system files and folder. Go to data /app.. and delete it. Or if you have moved the theme apk to sdcard.. just browse your sdcard using an adapter and delete that appname.apk from ".android_secure" folder.
Use these (if you havent moved the app to sdcard)
adb shell
login as.. su
cd data/app
ls
rm appname.apk
reboot
problem solved
Sorry 'senior member' , i did not mean to spam but if u can understand my desperation. btw problem solved- a noobie like me suggested to call from a different phone and while on the call change the theme....
i myself tried a lot fiddling with command line but wasnt able to figure out.
Peace \/

Either create a flashable zip file, or install them through adb... search xda on how to set up adb and fastboot on ur computer if u havent..
If u choose adb, run the following comand to install apks..
"adb install <path to *.apk file>"
ignore the quotes.. run it as many times as u need..
no need to go to recovery for adb.. u jst need usb debugging enabled on ur phone..
and VOILA!!! all ur apps installed widout any hassle..
u can do loads of stuff wid adb.. you can even bypass the pattern/pin lock on ur phone if u knw the right commands.. just an example of the power of adb.. :muscle:
