Your device must have "USB Debugging" enabled.
All drivers for your device must be installed and make sure your adb and fastboot files are not corrupted.

[Q] Unlock Bootloader for HTC one X+...waiting for device!

hello there, i am trying to root my htc one x+
But while typing "fastboot oem get_identifier_token" to unlock the bootloader, i get the response "waiting for device" forever!
on the phone,it is showing "fastboot usb" and also the cell is being detected on normally being connected to the pc!
I even checked the device manager, all the drivers are proper, no exclamation mark near the htc device.
I downloaded the fastboot files from htcdev and ran it. Also downloaded and installed Android SDK as mentioned on htcdev.Also downloaded AdbWinApi.dll and Adb.exe from here:
http://adbshell.com/download/download-adb-for-windows.html
Placed all of them in a separate folder &ran the above command.
Also i copied adbwinapi.dll and adbwinusb.dll in win\system32 just in case.
i also ran the adb.exe
Also turned off the fastboot option on the device
Also restarted the pc and left it overnight just in case....
I have no idea what's going wrong! Any help!

First of all download and install the official andorid sdk from google and then try to run fasyboot from there.
Follow these instruction to install the complete sdk tools.
If this doesn't help try reinstalling your device drivers.

sorry for the late reply....
I tried the same thing on different pc and it worked!
But i have another problem!
I installed cm11 nightly for my on my x plus from here:
http://get.cm/get/qG0
After that my imei has gone blank along with the baseband version.
I did a bit of research and found that by using ruu, u can get the imei back.
So for that i needed turn my s-on to s-off by the foll commands:
adb reboot
if i am not mistaken, while the phone is rebooting i am supposed to put the 2nd command:
adb wait-for-device push firewater /data/local/tmp
The problem here that I think is the phone reboots so fast that i guess the command fails to execute and i get an error saying :
error protocol fault (no status)
So, how to turn off fastboot or quickboot in cm11? There is absolutely no option in the phone. I tried battery settings,power settings, everything!
is there a way to disable fastboot/quickboot in bootloader mode?
plz help!

you have to run the root.bat file, you cannot dir the boot.img

I know I have to run the bat file but you asked me a screen of the folder

I have this message:

strange... idunno for me its working well (windows 7 pro) and the boot.img is in the same directory... do you have some antivirus, anti spam apps running?

A other member of Frandroid forum has exactly the same issue. But he is running W8.1
That is really strange.

I am running win 8.1 as well

POThe only thing I can suggest is to change the line
fastboot -i 0x1bbb boot boot.img
to (in your specific case)
c:\users\user\desktop\idol3_6045_root\fastboot -i 0x1bbb boot c:\users\user\desktop\idol3_6045_root\boot.img
and see what occurs.
I'm thinking you may have fastboot somewhere else on your computer as well and that somehow, it's looking in the local directory of that fastboot. While that goes against everything logical (local directory should always be checked first), I'd give that a shot.
If that still doesn't work, open the cmd.exe with elevated permissions (right click "command prompt" in start menu, and run as administrator)

The problem seems to be resolved by using Windows 7 instead.
http://forum.frandroid.com/topic/223905-tuto-root-de-l-idol-3-55/?p=3417628

using win 7 is not a solution... there have to be a way how to do it, because there are thousands of users with win 8.1 who using fastboot and adb commands...

Is it a drivers issue? Does "adb devices" return anything? Or "fastboot devices" if you're in the bootloader? If you don't get a device listed after executing that command, the OS isn't fully recognizing the Icon 3.
I've all but abandoned using Windows for interaction with my Android devices. The driver issues are too big a pain in the butt. With Mac, and no need for installing drivers, the only issue is the occasional usb cable that doesn't work well. I don't mean that as a Mac is better than Windows thing. I use both and am not into these kinds of battles. But it is easier on Mac in this case.
OP, have you tried this with a different USB cable?

is your bootloader unlocked?

And I take it you've enabled Developer Options and USB Debugging?

After all my talk about the ease of communicating with Android devices from a Mac, I'm now unable to successfully issue fastboot commands when in the bootloader. I've tried using sudo, making sure to include arguments that address the device, etc. I can execute adb commands when the phone's system is booted, though. But fastboot commands either get me a "waiting for device" or nothing at all. I thought I was able to do this successfully yesterday, when I was just testing it out. Today, I was going to root by booting into TWRP and flashing SuperSU.

If it was a driver issue, my phone would not restart with the command, every drivers are OK

Problems with getting some console commands working

I'm pretty new to stuff like rooting phones and such so I figured out that I'd be trying to see if I could manage to get my bootloader unlocked so I can once and for all install TWRP, which my dumbass has been trying to install without an unlocked bootloader.
I've got the basics going, like how should I do the unlocking (my phone's model is 5054S, yes it's an alcatel phone) and found a website which tells what commands you should do to unlock it
Well...
It just gets stuck there without further response. Amazing.

Oh no, this happens with every piece of code that needs some input from a phone (with this i mean the part where the command line just gets stuck)
And this is essentially the same with every code I have to utilize in the guide for unlocking

Which when actually used, it kinda does work?? Just doesn't recognize the -i as a parameter in the programs. And yes, this happens with both CMD and PowerShell

You are contradicting yourself: The applied ADB command of course DID NOT WORK, you got an error.
Reason: ADB got inproperly configured on phone.
Try this to get rid off of the error:
1. Disconnect phone from computer.
2. Revoke "USB debugging authorizations" in Android's Developer options on the phone.
3. Reconnect the phone to the computer and allow USB debugging on phone again.
4. Confirm the RSA-key in Authorization popup.

I have the stock ROM on USB now, but hè will not install it. When i press the home and enter button and plug the power cable. Hè start up with the MI logo and shuts down, then start up with no screen.
Are there other ways to install the stock ROM?

AFAIK the Stock ROM typically gets installed by means of ADB Sideload method:
Code:
adb devices
adb reboot sideload
adb sideload <FULL-PATH-TO-STOCK-ROM-ZIP-FILE-ON-PC-HERE>

Didn't think it can be so difficult.
Assumed the Stock ROM's file is located in root of E: drive then the ADB command in your case becomes
Code:
adb sideload E:\<NAME-OF-STOCK-ROM-ZIP-FILE>
where you have to substitute
<NAME-OF-STOCK-ROM-ZIP-FILE>
by ROM's true file name

What do i wrong. sorry! I do really my best
1, i have a format 16gb usb FAT32
2. i have install ADB installer.
3. i have download the stock rom (see picture)
4. my drive name is e:
5. When i zip my stock rom file, i got an another zip file, and an file of 1kb
in the next picture is what i do in CMD
anglee_full_9.0.0.1911 is my zipped stock rom downloadfile
the other 2 are the unzipped files from the first file

1st screenshot provided above shows
1. Device isn't connected via USB-cable with PC or, if, not powered on
2. The ROM's archive name you entered is without fileextension -> required :ZIP
If ROM's archive is packed as .RAR file then you have it to repack to .ZIP file

I think it will not gonna help.
When i connect my projector to the pc, the pc dont recognize him.
What i try, nothing works.

but thanks for your help anyway
