I'm trying to root my device from following a tutorial from the oneplus forum, I've also tried a bunch more. It's currently running the 05Q OTA update. The problem is, whenever I'm giving the command 'fastboot oem unlock' it doesn't wipe anything at all, rather performs a normal reboot. I've searched other forum posts on the topic here, none really resembled mine (or I didn't get the exact solution to the problem). I've tried the OPO toolbox v5 as well, didn't work. Same thing happens, I click the 'unlock bootloader' button in fastboot mode, the phone performs a normal reboot instead of wiping it. I'm pretty much a noob in this field, so a noob-friendly solution could help me a lot.
Problem double posted and solved here:

Hi all
Ive been tinkering for about 8 hours today with my Motoactv trying to root it. Ive been trying to root based on the Thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1534073
here on XDA. Ive also read every thread I could find on the internet regarding this to no avail.
I am attempting to flash rebootrecovery using fastboot and its keeps hanging on "waiting for device".
My Motoactv is recognized in Device Manager as MOT ADB Device. I place the device into fastboot and run the fastboot flash recovery recovery.img command. I have also tried fastboot flash recovery rebootrecovery_ma.zip
I cannot figure out why my comp isnt communicating with my device. I was able to see that some people have added the vendor ID to the fastboot flash command but it seems MOTO has hidden the ID pretty well.
Does anyone have any suggestions with this issue?
EDIT*
Well if there are any other idiots like me out there I will answer my own question for them. I figured it out about 10 minutes after creating this thread. rebootrecovery_ma.zip should be flashed via RSD Lite while in Fastboot on the Device. It will then reboot into recovery and you can flash AnyRoot_MA.zip through recovery.
Hi glamaina,
Looks like am the other idiot..without choosing the Fasboot option by pressing the power button, i double clicked the Recovery.bat and the message got is "waiting" in the command prompt.
Read you post still didnt figure it out..took a while after slowly grasping ..oh man..what a dumb guy i am.
Waiting for device

I have a moto electrify and the motoactv 16. I did a clean with MotoActv Easy modder and now none of the flash tools work. I want to go back to the original system as I am a bike rider. I get a waiting on device everytime now with MotoActv easy Modder or MotoActv Root Tool. Any suggestion or help would be great and evern worth compensation. Extremely frustrating, and not sure I am getting the drivers correct or the register is creating a problem.. thanks Larry l a nichol @kan s a s .n et

I am having trouble getting consistent results with the "fastboot boot <recoverimgname>.img" command.
I am working with both an Amazon Fire 5th generation tablet, a Nexus 4 and HTC One X.
I followed the directions and youtube video posted by awesomeslayerg and rootjunkysdl for rooting the Amazon Fire, and was successfully able to do so (CyanogenMod version 12.1-20151115-UNOFICCIAL-ford, Android 5.1.1).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/development/wip-achieving-root-thread-t3238152
I was also able to put Android version 6.0 on the Nexus 4 by following these directions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/development/rom-unofficial-cm13-marshmallow-builds-t3236487
The one thing I'm struggling with is the fastboot command "fastboot boot <recoverimgename>.img".
On both devices, I'm able to get the devices in communication with the PC (ie "fastboot devices" returns the appropriate information about the devices).
I then run the "fastboot boot <recoverimgename>.img" command:
For Fire: "fastboot boot TWRP_Fire_2.8.7.0.img" (obtained from http://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/orig-development/twrp-recovery)
For Nexus 4: "fastboot boot twrp-2.8.7.0-mako.img" (obtained at https://dl.twrp.me/mako/)
In both cases the recovery file is in the same directory from which I am running adb/fastboot.
The issue with both is that sometimes they'll reboot into the respective recovery, and sometimes they won't.
When they won't, the Nexus 4 hangs at the Google splash screen. The Amazon Fire boots to the system.
I can't figure out why they don't consistently boot to the recovery.
I've tried getting into fastboot mode via "adb reboot bootloader", by shutting the devices off and booting into fastboot manually (volume button + power switch), by rebooting to recovery then to fastboot, etc.
Also tried waiting a long time after getting the correct response to "fastboot devices" to make sure things had settled down.
Nothing seems to have given a consistent response.
I'd like to be sure that I can boot into a recovery on the PC when I need to (from fastboot on the device). At the moment it seems to be luck whether I can or not, but I assume there must be some cause that I can solve.
Anyone else experience this problem? Have ideas how to solve? Or can point me to a forum which is addressing this?
Thanks.
fastboot boot <recoverimgename>.img Inconsistency
I've just looked through the entire forum discussion on rooting the Amazon Fire 5th gen tablet, and not found an answer to this problem.
I've already rooted the Fire (Ford) and gotten Cyanogenmod 12.1-20151115-UNOFFICIAL-ford running on it, so this device is OK.
But I have continue to have erratic results booting to a recovery on the PC using fastboot: C
I can get the tablet connected to the PC in fastboot mode, fastboot devices gives me the right answer, my driver is Android Composite ADB Interface, and everything seems OK.
But most of the time when I enter the "fastboot boot TWRP_Fire_2.8.7.0.img" command the Fire reboots to system, and occasionally to Amazon's recovery version. Only occasionally to TWRP, and I don't know why.
How can I consistently boot into the TWRP_Fire_2.8.7.0.img recovery on the PC that I used when I rooted the thing in the first place?
Any ideas?
Hi,
Here's a guide you could try to be sure you are set up properly, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118
And as far as specific help for each device, you would be best to ask in those devices Q&A sections,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/help
http://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/help
Or ask in the threads you linked yourself. :good:
Good luck!
Thanks much. I'll try the guide. I've managed to get it all to work (ie "fastboot boot TRWP_Fire_2.8.7.0.img") on another PC, so it must be the setup on the 1st PC. I'm really struggling with the drivers.
I'd post questions in the other threads, but don't have the status yet...
I also see that Amazon's new update has throw a monkey wrench into fiddling with the Fire. I'll keep working at it.

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
http://www.androidcentral.com/what-adb
Hopefully this isn't too big a question.
My phone just did this all on its own, I was just browsing the web with it. Just running whatever was on there from Verizon and HTC, not rooted or anything.
Now all I can do is get to the fastboot menu, and can do a few things there. I just tried to go to hboot then factory reset, this after trying a lot of things, and it didn't work.
It's connected to my computer, it seems to be recognized, at least by "fastboot devices" but not by "adb devices".
It shows as "***LOCKED***" and "S-ON". Everything I've found that talks about changing those requires going into the settings, setting developer mode and or usb debugging. I can't see how to do that if I can't get into the OS.
Am I screwed?
Thanks for any assistance.

i will ask here too
is there any way to rescue my phone from this?
my phone jsut starts into fastboot as soon as it turns on, even when i plug in the charging cable, it goes into fastboot in a second
i tried the adb method, instaleld it all, used the fastboot tools for "fastboot reboot", nothing
i used fastboot continue, nothing
i tried fastboot oem unlock, not recognised
the recovery mode for factory reset is working, but since i have seen in a german forum that this is not helping and i rather not loose my data because of the 2fa apps, i wont do that just now
i tried it all now but absolutely nothing works
i didnt enable the developer options in the 4 years i have that phone now, and i cant unlock it, even tho i got the unlock.bin from LG and everything
is there any solution? or is this phone now bricked and i can throw it against a wall out of frustration?
I have same problem, any someone can help me???
