Someone handed me down a Fit and Im trying to unlock it. the problem is I think is hardlocked as it doesnt give me the option to enter the unlock code. Is there any way or flash something that will remove the hardlock?

What lock are you talking about? Sim lock or privacy/password lock. If it is latter. Go to recovery (home+power button) and wipe data and cache. Navigate by using volume buttons and select by home button. Then tap reboot system now.

Im reffering to sim lock. It looks as if someone tried to unlocked it with the wrong code

I'm thinking like this... connect the phone to your pc. I am also assuming you have CWM recovery.
Then:
-transfer a stock rom from here on your sd storage (make sure it's for your model)
-get ROM Manager and search inside it for a "reboot into recovery" option, or use any app that does that.
The phone is now in recovery
-at this point, you navigate like this: back button goes back, home goes to main screen in CWM, menu goes to the next selection in the menu and search selects the item. The idea is that instead of power button, you can use the SEARCH button. Volume buttons are working for you, as you've said.
-now select install zip from sdcard->choose zip->select your stock rom and it should flash everything, including stock recovery.
-now connect your phone again to the pc, and open a command prompt.(again usb debugging must be checked)
-type:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
(Thanks simms22)
Now, you should be good to go. I'd also be careful about the screen turning off when you're back on stock, with a broken power button... don't let it do that!
dont forget to relock the bootloader.. fastboot oem lock

Hello, i tried looking for an answer for this but could not find it in the forum. I have a HTC sensation, my child draw a different pattern and now my phone is locked. I had fastboot enable and know i can´t get into the fastboot menu to erase the phone (no important data in it). Do you guys know a way for getting into fastboot (battery removal or any other way) Thank you!!!
Pull the battery. That should wipe the fast-boot cache so it will do a full boot.
Then do the usual Vol Down + Power trick to get into the Bootloader menu.
pull battery and hold volume down key when booting
Pull out battery, re insert, vol down + pwr

and y do u need to fully wipe ur phone for that, if u still know the pattern, you can choose the (forgot pattern) option and sunlock it using ur google account .
if u don't know the pattern u can just pull of the batterry and reinsert it again and boot into fastboot (keep holding the volume down and power button), run RUU and flash your rom again.
cheers

Can't you just unlock with google account?
here is the lock screen

I when threw the process of unlocking my bootloader on my moms old HTC inspire phone. My question is how would I know if it worked? I don't think it worked because it still says "locked" when I go to the *vol down + pwr button* menu. I clicked unlock bootloader on the screen. Is this normal? Or did it just not work?

I guess that didn't finish the whole process. When successful, you should read UNLOCKED at the top of the hboot.

Ya I had that feeling. Strange though that I had the pop up on screen and told it to unlock.
Oh well time to try it again.
Thanks.
Hi there,
I have a HTC One S and I am wanting to unlock my bootloader and root in order to put CM10 on my phone.
I have gone through the bootloader unlock process and have succeeded right up until the point where it asks if you want to unlock the bootloader or not, it gives you two options, "Yes" or "No" and tell you to press the "Power Button" to confirm selection...
I select YES, press the power button.... Nothing. Nothing happens at all and I just have to hold down my power button to reboot.
Why is this happening?!
I read elsewhere your phone must not be a courier branded phone. I am in the UK and on the '3' Network. They gave me the phone. Is this why I can't do it?
Also, I say about putting on CM10, but wondered what is the recommended ROM? I would like to have a jelly bean ROM.
Thanks to all, in advance!

Are you selecting yes with the volume buttons or pressing it with your finger?

I make a choice with the radio buttons, using my volume keys, then press my power button on the top of the phone to confirm my selection, but nothing happens.

A good ROM that has recent updates is JellyBam. Thats what I use as my daily driver. Lots of customizations and tweaks on that ROM. Another good one that is popular is Dark Jelly. The 4.1 version of Dark Jelly is more stable, but there is a new thread posted with a 4.2 base for folks to experiment with.
Hey community! I have my girlfriend's MT4GS in hand. She wants to factory reset it but cannot remember the pin code for the factory reset. She called me to ask for help and I tried to walk her through the volume down+power method of reaching hboot to factory reset from there. It wasn't happening and I figured user error. The next day I tried it myself and it isn't working. I used to own the MT4GS and have used this method over a hundred times quite literally. I have been to Youtube just to be certain I was doing it right since it has been over a year since I personally owned a Slide.
It isn't working. I'm thinking maybe something is wrong with the power button although the power button functions otherwise. The volume down button functions otherwise as well. I am stumped.
My question is, is there a software method to enter hboot? The phone is stock GB, it is not rooted and I assume it is S-ON.
Any help? Much, much thanks in advance to all the geniuses in the community! I hope there is an answer.
adb reboot bootloader
or in a terminal
reboot bootloader
might need to grant superuser permissions in terminal cant remember... so yeah...
Did you pull the battery before trying the volume down+power combo?
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using Tapatalk 2
Superuser permissions means you're already rooted right. Like I said, this phone is not. That adb method can't be used without root can it?
As for pulling the battery, I have done tried it many times now. The problem lies elsewhere.
Hmm...any other ideas? Can I answer any questions to clarify anything. I'm stumped.

Yeah terminal reboot you need to be rooted but you don't with adb, just turn debbuging on

Thanks friend! I will try that when home from work!
Ok, adb worked to access the bootloader. You can't factory reset from the bootloader until it is unlocked. I tried to unlock it but the damn power button has foiled me again. I get to the point in the booloader unlock process where you must select "Yes" or "No" to unlock the bootloader and then confirm that by pressing the power button. The power button press doesn't seem to be working (consistent with the problem of the power button not working to enter the bootloader). Is there a known workaround to unlocking the bootloader without pressing the power button. This seems a stretch to me, but I thought I'd ask.
I'm in adb with the entire process done with the exception of this power button press to continue part which I cannot do apparently. Might it be useful to disassemble the phone and mess with the power button?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
so power button functions as it should all the rest of time? then opening it up to clean may not do much but unfortunately i cant think of any other way to select an option in the bootloader screen nor a work around to the unlocking process.
well maybe if you boot to download mode and follow the debricking process? just a suggestion i have no idea if it will help as ive never done it but i believe you can flash over current bootloader hopefully fixing your issue, that is if its firmware and not hardware causing the problem
SEE HERE
Can you access recovery? Can you use adb reboot recovery I think in stock recovery or cwm you can use the trackpad to factory reset
