HELP
i was unlocking my HTC One XL's bootloader today, using HTCDev. When i reached the last step of unlocking the bootloader (typing in "fastboot oem get_identifier_token" in the command prompt), instead of showing that whole block of text that was supposed to show, it just wrote "< Waiting for device >" and its been like this for the past 15 minutes... please help
Did you make sure your phone was in fastboot USB before typing in the command?

That possibly means the device is offline. Make sure your plugged into the back of your PC if possible. Reboot your phone and make sure you have the right drivers by typing "adb devices" in the command prompt. If you need additional support?
Pm me.

I'm comming from the Samsung vibrant so im fairly new to nexus community. However I did find a couple tut. that were very good, I followed everything exactly as the person in the video. By the way the tutorial i used was from the Unlockr. But anyways i followed everything i set up adb my device appeared in the command prompt. However the next step once your phone is recognized when setting up adb is to power off and get into "fastboot". I did that, plugged the usb in and opened another command prompt. When i type in "fastboot oem unlock" it just hangs on the "waiting for device" part forever. Can someone please help me out thankx
You should really use a more descriptive title. I had no idea what this was about until the last sentence.
If you closed your terminal, than adb probably closed as well. Open up the cmd window while the phone is in fastboot and type
adb devices

Click to collapse
That should start adb back up and let you know if the phone is detected in one command. It should then be ready for
fastboot OEM unlock

Ellos All. So I'm attempting to unlock the bootloader on on my Sensation. I'm following the instructions given via htcdev.com, everything was going okay but now I'm in CMD Prompt at the stage where I use the command fastboot oem get_identifier_token, and instead of the line of text that I'm supposed to get, I get <waiting for device> ... Any suggestions? thanks!
Did you follow the instructions? I've also done the HTC unlock method and it's flawless. I revolutionary'd after that but that's besides the point.
Not trying to sound like a douche, but you definately missed something. Maybe you didn't enable USB Debugging.
just do the s-off/rooted thing by this forum :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
and you will succed in 1 time oh and dont forget htc sync need to be on at phone with usb debugging
Yes, I've followed the instructions
I had a similar problem. I simply rebooted the phone (while it said "waiting for device") and all went well after that.

first Enable USB debugging on phone . Boot your phone into bootloader. Connect your phone to pc via usb cable. Phone should read FASTBOOT VIA USB.
Make sure that HTC sync is off . ( Go to task manager, if you see the HTC sync is running, kill it)
Also remove anything else that may attempt to sync when you connect device.
Eg doubletwist, isyncr etc.
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
I don't remember all details altough my experience is quite fresh (week back) ...
Try disable your antivirus and start htc sync.
Device is no properly detected/installed by windows. You need proper driver. Drivers are part of htcsync so try to install or reinstall latest version of htcsync.
And, although I've only just.noticed it ...
Please don't double-post. There was no need to stick this in both the General and Q&A forums.
Usb debugging?

From the screenshots I can see that your adb is working from c:\abd folder.
I guess your fastboot binary is there as well.
So you have 2 options:
1) issue the command "fastboot oem get_bla_bla" from c:\adb
2) copy the files from c:\adb to c:\Android (including fastboot) and try again​
But IMO is much better to downgrade and S-OFF via revolutionary. Just take the time to do some research across the guides around and go for it

changing usb ports have always helped me with , waiting for device problems,
Hi guys
Desire S.
Unrooted, no custom recovery, basically everything default.
HBoot 2.00.0002
.
To root, i need the 0.98 version.
Using HTCdev.com, i tried to unlock, but at step 5, where i should type fastboot oem get_identifier_token, the phone doesnt come up at all, and cmd just continues to wait for device.
Before you ask, I HAVE (i hope) followed all steps.
This includes updating drivers manually, using htc sync (latest and older versions), swapping usb port and cable, reunzipping adb and fastboot material from other sources, and reading for a decent number of hours throughout xda and other external forums and guides.
But there is still no success.
Anyone help please? I don't just want fast, "get it working for me" type answers, but actually want to know why it refuses to greet me!
Cheers
BTW, i'm on a windows 8.1 laptop, and have updated the relevant drivers, still to no avail.

your phone must be in FASTBOOT bootloader mode..not in the HOME of your ROM..
if you don't wan to turn off your phone first and pressing volume down + power to go to bootloader..then you can using a adb command on cmd while your phone is still in the HOME of your ROM.. type "adb reboot bootloader" then select "FASTBOOT" now you can type "fastboot oem get_identifier_token"
don't forget to disabled Fast boot mode and enable USB Debuging first from the system settings and just connect your phone to pc as charge mode..
hope this help..
Sorry mate. Tried that before your post though.
However the person for whom I was doing this no longer needs it doing, and plans for a newer device, so I no longer have this device available. Thus, i thanked you, since it was a cue for me to mention that.
Cheers.
This model of HTC is died
My device is a One Plus One. I've installed an ADB driver from here: adbdriver (some site I've searched up on google) (Is this even safe? I've never seen anyone use this link before or maybe it's new. It's not a virus is it?)
So once I've installed it, I've typed all commands such as adb while my device is turned on but then when it gets to where I have to press my powerbutton+volume down and then go into the recovery screen, I see "Cyanogen Recovery" or whatever but that's what it says. Suddenly on my computer, the ADB device disappears altogether and I cannot see my One Plus One storage anymore (it's connected and even If I unconnect and reconnect it's still the same). I believe I've unlocked my phone already before so is this why? I just want to make sure and type fastboot oem device-info but when I type that nothing comes up. I've been trying to solve this and I don't know what to do anymore... Is it because I've already unlocked my device (but even I'm not sure if it's still unlocked and that's why I'm trying to confirm it by typing "fastboot oem device-info" which doesn't even work. Help please!

Greetings,
Thank you for using XDA Assist. To get you the expert help you need, I'm going to move this thread to your specific device Q&A forum.
Good luck!
You need to boot into bootloader by pressing volume up + power.
Then you can use "fastboot devices" to see if your OPO is being recognised.
"fastboot oem device-info" only works when you boot to bootloader
ADB is not fastboot btw.
http://www.androidcentral.com/android-z-what-fastboot
ADB does only work when your phone is booted to the Android system and USB-Debugging is enabled
