[Q] Can't Unlock a relocked bootloader - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

I've searched through the forums and I can't find a solution for this. After a long problem the first time I tried to root and flash a rom to my HTC One X, I had to re-lock the bootloader and flash a factory RUU. I decided to get back into it but I ran into a problem where whenever I get my phone fastboot mode, but my computer says there's an error with the device. When I try to execute fastboot commands, I'm stuck [Waiting for Device].

It's probably your drivers, make sure they're updated. Also make sure you're using a usb 2.0 port. You should also try different ports/cables.

What drivers should I be updating and where should I get them. I've updated my google usb drivers using android sdk. And I'm using a usb 2.0 port, because it worked the last time I did the unlocking with this laptop.

You can get the htc drivers from the HTC Sync Manager download on the One XL page at HTC.com website.

I've read from many people, that having htc sync on your computer could mess this up. And I couldn't find the one XL page on htc.com

It just took me ten seconds to find the One XL page. You install Sync Manager, connect your phone, it will install the drivers, then you uninstall Sync Manager but leave the drivers installed.

Well, now I understand the issue. The problem is that I'm using windows 8.1 and the drivers are not yet compatible yet. Now I need a fix for that.

thank u ... It worked
I am having issues with this revolutionary method as well. i download the zip, extract it, download the fastboot, get the key code, run the extracted program, and the window says waiting for device. so i ran it again with mounting my sensation before running and same thing. It hasnt yet given me a chance to enter the key code. im only assuming i have to enter it cause it is not taking the code it pops up with when you enter your information. I Just bought a PC so I can to root my phones better without waiting for a MAC version of every thing. If anyone knows the step I am missing, please let me know. I would love to experiment with COREdroid but i have to get S-OFF first.

Ignore that warning, it's the only way it detects my device, it works for me. Used it in two Sensations and it didn't detect the device unless I used HTC sync. Do you have adb installed and the correct drivers?

If you are runing this on Windows then yes there are drivers you need. Check the documentation link on Revolutionary site.

This was the missing step for me i could only get it to work once i uninstalled HTC Sync..
The Quickest way in solving this issue is just to install the HTC Drivers. With that, follow the Guide on the Dev section and it should be okay.
For future reference of Linux users who may find this thread, don't forget to run revolutionary, fastboot, or adb as a root user.
That'll usually solve all that plagues you with problems like "waiting for device" and such.
"sudo ./revolutionary"

Bootloader Malfunction

I'm trying to get to S-OFF using Facepalm S-OFF, however when I connect my One X in bootloader to my PC (I have 2 laptops & 1 desktop) it pops up that the USB device that you connected has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it it does the same thing on all 3 PC's.I originally posted in the Facepalm thread and am now posting here as per thedailyl3af recomendation that I post here since he could not help me. When I connect my One X to the PC the phone is recognized by both the PC & HTC Sync manager (yes I shut down the Sync manager) but soon as I go to bootloader the PC no longer recognizes it. The main reason I want S-OFF is so that I can flash different kerrnals and radio's to try and clear up the One X clearity problem, when I am talking to people most of the I am saying "what" or "could you repeat that". My One X is unlocked and I do have SuperCID. Please Help! Thank you in advance
Install HTC drivers and uninstall HTC sync

That is weird. Did you try different USB ports or a different cable? That normally helps. Try to wait 10 mins as well

Why not just connect your phone normally to the computer, stop HTC sync and use adb commands to put your phone into bootloader?

I have done that, When I connect my One X to my computer, HTC Sync starts, I shut it down. I open command pompt. Then I use adb commands to open bootloader and soon as it goes into bootloader the PC stops recognizing it and says the USB device has malfunctioned. I am unlocked, have SuperCID, Have Super user and am able to use it. I am running ViperXL rom. I have uninstalled drivers on my PC and re-downloaded them and re-installed them many times, so I know it is not drivers on my PC.
Something had to go wrong when I flashed TWRP v2.4.1.0. My problem is everything that evryone is telling me to do goes through bootloader, well if my PC does not recognize my phone while in bootloader how am I going to get past that point. I even tried to flash to TWRP v2.3.1.0, through TWRP recovery, both as a seprate zip file and by starting to reinstall ViperXL (Aroma) installer and I can't even back to TWRP 2.3.1.0 which I know is not as buggy as v2.4.1.0. When I go through the Aroma installer it says that it installed it, but when I go back to TWRP it still says v2.4.1.0.
Was on Facepalm S-OFF Thread and they recomended that I try this forum since evrything they had me try did not work. I am stuck and I just want some straight to the point advice on how to get past this issue. Don't know if this will help but when I am in bootloader this what the bootloader image says, I'm only putting the first part down as you guys know what the rest says.

You have hboot 1.14. Aroma installer fails to flash images you may have to flash twrp manually. Also there was a bug in on of the versions of viperxl that would not mount. What version of viper are you running?

There is one more thing that could cause you problems and that is that your cable is bad. If you have another one that will fit your phone laying around you might want to try swapping out.

I just went through all of this. Been having this problem for the past few days. I tried different cable, differenent port, installing/unistalling htc sync, install htc driver/uninstall htc drivers, install android sdk/unistall android sdk, installing pdanet drivers, stopping htc sync, manually uninstalling all android related drivers and reinstalling them. In the end after 4 days of long hours of trial and error I gave up. EVERY solution on the internet fail. Every one of them. Came to the conclusion that something else besides android related drivers is interfereing with fastboot. So the only solution I found was to download virtual box and install a copy of windows in it. Install htc sync on the virtual machine and dont uninstall it. Then plug in your phone while in bootloader connect to the virtual machine and let it install the rest of the drivers. Then fastboot WILL work.
Im not saying don't try all of what everyone is telling you first. What Im saying is that if nothing else works although it may be a bit complicated I can almost guarantee it will work because everything is fresh and there should be no conflicts.

While I agree with you, there are steps you take with troubleshooting to narrow down the cause this way if you don't HAVE to do a fresh install of Windows on a virtual machine, you don't.

Exactly. That was what I was trying to say in the last line of my post.
I had the same problem and tried all of these solutions. Now I tried virtualbox with XP and still no luck. What seems to be happening is that Windows 8.1 cannot even hand off my phone to the virtualbox USB controller because I am getting that error that the device malfunctioned. I've also put a filter to catch all USB devices and enabled/disabled USB 2.0 controller. Any suggestions?

[Q] Getting Error 170 while trying to RUU to 3.18...what am I doing wrong?

As the title says: I'm trying to install the 3.18 RUU for my AT&T HTC One X. I'm currently on an old build of CM10.1 (beautifully maintained by H8rift) and was wanting to try the latest build he posted with the 3.4 Kernel. I am S-Off and Unlocked. I searched the forum (internal search seems to be broken at the moment) and all I keep seeing is mostly go to fastboot THEN run the RUU. Well I'm in fastboot (enabled the menu from within CM...less I just misunderstood that completely). Fastboot shows "Fastboot USB" but the RUU still gives Error 170. What did I do wrong?
Running this on a Windows 8 x64 system, installed HTC Sync Manager (still didn't help). I updated the Android SDK Tools to the latest version. My CID is all 1's (as per the S-Off directions). I'm at a loss here hehe.
Ooh I have TWRP 2.4.1.0. And yes I barely post, just always looking, reading, etc.
Is the USB port you're using 2.0 or 3.0? If it's 3.0 (it should have the USB icon and a little ss) try switching to 2.0. Also, try running RUU while not in fastboot.

Yup running it on my USB 2.0 ports. Tried my case ports and the motherboard ones, same thing. Also just tried it with the phone booted. No dice. Even using the HTC USB Cable (not like there should be a difference but hey, just in case). Maybe I should threaten the phone...with a hammer. (Nah I'm not that mean).

if while in fastboot mode fastboot devices does not show the device, The RUU will not work.
uninstall HTC driver and HTC sync and any other phone software (for samsung or whatever else)
Install latest HTC sync
make sure fastboot devices lists your device, then run the RUU

Hey you said you were on Windows 8. You may have to manually install the driver to get it work, that's what I had to do. Or you could use the universal adb driver, but if you're gonna RUU, I'd be safe and use the HTC one.

Alrite after removing both managers (HTC and Samsung), reinstalling, and then having to turn off debugging then turn it back on...it now sees it
HT25CW****** device (first said offline but I looked at the phone and noticed it was asking for permission).
Time to continue flashing! I think what happened is I had the universal USB drivers but then had to install KIES for my bro so it replaced them. Then installing HTC on top of that made it give up. Thanks you two! I'll post if I have any other strange issues.

Dear Turbo Mach 5,
Could you please provide the detailed steps you followed to RUU your ATT HTC One X.
I am also planning to update my ATT HTC One X with 3.18 RUU to use CM 10.2 based roms.
Please provide this information which will help me to start with my device.
1) Whether we need to re-lock the bootloader ? (I have SuperCID and S-Off)
2) After RUU ing whether we need to unclok the boot loader and root the device if we have SuperCID and S-off?
Thanks and Regards,
Sathish.

You don't need to relock your bootloader to the run the RUU because you have s-off. And your s-off status and unlocked bootloader should survive the RUU process. All you need to do afterwards is flash TWRP recovery again, then you can flash a ROM. Please be aware that cm10.2 is still very alpha and multiple users have reported bricks from running it.

Hi timmaaa,
Thank You very much for the clarification and update on cm 10.2 rom.
I was thinking with RUU my bootloader is going to re-lock even though I have S-off.

Hi,
I'm having trouble using the RUU as well. The problem seems to be getting the usb driver for my oneXL working. every time i plug it into my win7 pc, it goes through this installing drivers process but having clicked on "display details", the "android phone" component of the drivers says "failed". I've tried universal adb driver, and HTC usb driver with and without htc sync installed. the HTC sync manager keeps saying there is an update available for usb driver, even though I uninstalled the driver manager and htc sync.
Have not been able to get adb working, when i recently S_OFF my phone I had to use adb over wifi - but it worked.
Any help greatly appreciated, thanks!
Your post is a bit confusing as to which drivers you actually have installed. Download the latest HTC Sync Manager from the HTC One XL page at HTC.com, install it, connect your phone, drivers will install, uninstall HTC Sync Manager but leave drivers installed. Also, make sure you're using a usb 2.0 port and the HTC cable that came with the phone.

It no longer uses mass storage, it uses MTP now. You need to install HTC Sync Manager on your PC in order to access the sd card properly.

That reminds me of a rare problem in windows. Sometimes it happens that when you uninstall usb devices, the usb.inf gets removed from the windows/inf folder, or something like that, so you need just a generic one and place it there again. After that the usb drivers for mass storage or MTP should get installed again by windows. If this shouldn't fix it you might want to search for similar problems.

Sometimes it happens that when you uninstall usb devices, the usb.inf gets removed from the windows/inf folder, or something like that, so you need just a generic one and place it there again. After that the usb drivers for mass storage or MTP should get installed again by windows. If this shouldn't fix it you might want to search for similar problems.

Yea I tried everything but fortunately I found out I can access my SD card through airdroid. Pretty good solution in case some one has the same problem.

[Q] Can't install cyanogen mod on HTC Sensation Z710a

Hi!
I have a HTC Sensation that I would like to put Cyanogenmod on but no matter what I do I can't get anywhere. Also I'm 100% new to installing custom ROMs/Rooting. I can't do revolutionary because my HBOOT is 1.27.0000 so I found out there is a way to unlock it from the HTC Dev site but that doesn't work either because it keeps saying 'Waiting for device'. I have seen about 5 articles that say how to fix this problem (Check drivers, change USB Port, move certain files, etc) but after trying every single one nothing has changed. One said to use HTC Sync to get the drivers but my phone can't find HTC Sync on my computer and HTC Sync can't find my phone.
I have used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1152148 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861 but I can't get past unlocking bootloader. Any help would be very much appreciated!!!
Thanks!
Phone details:
Model: HTC Sensation Z710a
Android Version: 4.0.3
HBOOT: 1.27.0000

This came up http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979 . Will this be ok and after installing it do I do the cmd stuff with my phone on the hboot screen or do I do something else?
EDIT: I installed it and it still says waiting for device. I will look at some other posts.
EDIT #2: Also tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/general/tutorial-installing-adb-fastboot-t1982718 but still says waiting for device. Starting to think maybe my phone is completely against me changing the OS.

Still doesn't work. I think by now I have installed so many different programs/files trying to get it to work that they might be getting confused with each other or something. I might see if deleting all the files and starting over will help tomorrow. Thanks for the help so far!
I deleted all the files I could find that I installed and then tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2646453 as well but still getting nowhere. Any ideas what might be the problem?
