Hi.
I want to unlock bootloader on my HTC ChaCha but I have to use that RAA thingy to make it unlockable. Everything goes well until phone reboots to bootloader. After that, HTC Android Phone ROM Update Utility gets stuck on "Wait for bootloader..." and Windows shows that device couldn't be recognized. I already tried to install several HTC Sync versions and driver packs but it didn't helped.
How to fix that?

hey everyone. i finally got my one x from at&t and now i'm trying to do everything to it before it all gets fixed. i've rooted and now i'm attempting to unlock the bootloader.
the problem is the drivers. if the phone is not in the bootloader, my computer identifies the device as "my htc", however, when it is in the bootloader, it is identified as "android 1.0".
i have already gotten supercid, i just need the identifier token. when i use the command "fastboot oem get_identifier_token" it just says waiting for device. when i put the command in, my hox is in the bootloader.
so can anyone help with my problem? i'm pretty sure it's the drivers, but i can't find them anywhere online, and my computer doesn't automatically look for them.
If you install htc sync which you can get from htc.com you'll get drivers too. Just make sure htc sync is disabled when you use any of the one click tools.
Your phone has to be in fastboot mode, not bootloader. Use the vol up and down to select fastboot, and power button to confirm.
when i installed htc sync, it said the drivers failed to install. is there a direct download to manually install the drivers?

Hi all,
I've had to root my HTC One S for school recently (yes, really), but now I can't install the update that's been released.
When I start the update my phone reboots and enters Clockwork..
I've been trying to unroot my phone, but there's a lot of (different) information out there, and I can't seem to put my finger on it.
For starters, I have no idea what RUU is and I have no idea which stock img I need, since their are more than 20 of them out there..
Can somebody please guide me through?
Thanks!
Tom
Edit: I can't seem to get a Android 1.0 USB driver working.. If I type adb devices it lists no devices.. I've tried like 5 different drivers but none are working.
Edit: My normal USB driver is working. ADB devices returns my device, but when I try to flash the recovery in normal mode, it just says 'waiting for device'.
Hi there,
I'm tearing my hair out here. I have an HTC sensation which I inherited off my girlfriend. I tried to update it OTA and it says something like "variant system version htc" etc. I thought oh maybe somehow the bootloader has been tampered with. I previously had a rooted HTC desire for a couple years. I thought oh I'll just root this as well. I've tried on two occassions over 6+ hours to unlock this sensation via HTC Dev and it just doesn't work. I download sdk and put fastboot and adb in a folder. Connect the phone with USB and go into terminal and type cd and drag the folder in to make sure location is right. Then type ./fastboot oem get_identifier_token and it has either said "permission denied" or most commonly "waiting for device". So after shedding tears of rage, I gave up on that route. I thought instead ok lets see if I can go via OTA. So I called HTC and they rain my IMEI and apparently this phone is French (I'm in Australia) and thats why the OTA updates aren't working. He recommended I call the French HTC support and see what they can do. Funny thing is, I don't speak French.
Before I throw this phone off the highest place I can, is there any way I can get this OTA French update online off someone or a download website?
Model number: HTC sensation z710e
Thanks in advance for any helpful comments. I've done lots of reading and seem to be going in circles. From what I've read there doesn't appear to be a one click root app for the Sensation as existed for my HTC desire.
:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
you can easily unlock the device !!!
i think you are missing few points here
1. uncheck fastboot in settings -> power/battery
2. also enable "usb debugging" in settings ->developer options
3.then once you connect the phone from bootloader to the pc
( to go to bootloader ..power off phone ..remove battery , reinsert it ..then hold power + volume down buttons together until you get the bootloader screen a few seconds ))
4. if the connection is proper and you have proper drivers installed the phone says "FASTBOOT USB"
if the phone is saying :HBOOT" press power button once then it should say "FASTBOOT USB"
if the phone is just saying "FASTBOOT" that means connection is not proper or drivers are not installed
for proper connection : you can only use usb 2.0 ports ..usb 3.0 port and usb hubs dont work properly ..also if using pc connect to back usb ports
for proper drivers: you need to have HTC sync installed ..or if you have windows 7/8 32 bit install these drivers ..if you have windows 7/8 64 bit install these drivers (NOTE: if you plan to use these drivers .uninstall every HTC related software from control panel then reboot and install these ..and dont install HTC sync any more)
5. to check proper connection
type this command from your adb/fastboot folder
fastboot devices (it should list your device )
6. then continue with the rest of process
success
Thanks for your reply.
I have good news and bad news.
The good news is I have S-OFF and rooted my phone.
The bad news is that both JB roms I have tried I am unable to get passed choosing my language after the phone has started. I select any language (say english US) and it just freezes and then after 10 seconds restarts. This is with the CM 10.1 and AOSP 4.2.2 roms from development section. When installing these roms I make a nand backup, then wiped data and cache as well as dalvik cache. Then install the rom and JBapps. Any ideas on what to try to fix this? For now I have reverted to my backup.
Onto how I unlocked and rooted.
I was consistently getting an error in terminal when typing ./fastboot oem get_identifier_token
It would say .... ERROR
After a lot of googling I discovered that I was most likely getting that error because my HBOOT was too old for the HTCDEV method.
So I tried the revolutionary method which worked perfectly. Than installed clockwork recovery, gained root (did a dance for joy) and now here I am very close to JB goodness just need to figure out why it keeps on rebooting.
Any help is appreciated. :laugh:

You've done soff via revolutionary means you've got 1.17 firmware.. For ics and jellybeans you need 3.32/3.33 firmware.. Grab the latest firmware from kohr-ah firmware thread in sensation development section and flash it.. Then flash any ics/jb rom

If you're connecting from bootloader, use fastboot not ADB.
When I have the phone on and connect the usb it recognizes it. But when I run the ruu update,and the phone boots into the bootloader, it says usb device us not recognized. I have HTC sync installed on my computer. Windows 8 64 bit.
What I really need us a pd98img.zip file for an at&t HTC inspire 4g with 2.3.5 gingerbread. Anyone have that?

You can get the stock images from htcdev dot com.
You will need to create an account but it's free. Also, is your bootloader locked or unlocked?
If it is unlocked, you will need to relock it before flashing a signed stock rom.
I got it back to stock AT&T 2.3.5 by pulling the img file out of the downloaded ruu. I still cant get the phone to be recognized by my computer in the bootloader screen though? So I can't get it rooted or unlocked on the htc developer site. What am I doing wrong??? Also what should I use to root it. I have tried easy ace root tool. and will not work

Are you using fastboot or ADB? What is the error message from the Easy Ace Root Tool?
Ok. I don't know what I did but i got it to work. Now, what is the newest root tool that works? Also do I need s-off for roms? Not sure how to proceed??

Does that ace root tool still supposedly work? I've been at this for weeks, hours of searching forums under my belt and nada.

I had this same exact issue. I have a Lonovo Yoga with 3.0 USB ports and Windows 8.1 and no matter what I did I couldn't get my phone to work on my computer. I ended up having to switch computers just to have my phone recognized. I switched to a Windows 7 computer with 2.0USB ports and my phone was recognized in Bootload Mode. After I installed CWM I was able to have my phone recognized on my Yoga after going into CWM recovery and mounting my SD card.
Hope this helped!:good:
Hi everybody, i am really sorry about my english i hope you guys can understand what i am trying to say.
a few mounths ago i rooted my Htc one m8 using the AIO toolkit. I flashed it with the TWRP 2.7.0.2 recovery.
Last week i wanted to update my Htc and found a guide how to update but i messed up. It said something like that I have to remove the root then install a file they had on their site on my phone.( I can't say which guide it was because i don't have the pc i used last week to do this.)
After i did that my Htc got stuck in a bootloop- I can access the Fastboot menu but when i choose Recovery or Factory reset option my phone just reboots but doesnt get past the HTC logo.
I am trying fixing it with the AIO toolkit but an error message shows up saying "device not found" or
"waiting for device" my pc is on windows vista an recognizes my phone- I installed the right drivers and on the fastboot menu it says "fastboot usb" highlighted in red.
I am a really noob at this so have you guys any idea how I can fix this? Why do i get the message "device not found" , when my pc recognized my phone and all the drivers are installed?
And also my pc is in safe mod with network because i get a blue screen when booting the normal way-
Do you think thats why i get the error message " device not found"?
