Respect your mum!
Just for that............no answer!

For those all so senisitive plenty of respect for my mom its my noobisim not hers help is much is much appreciated

Do you have ADB installed? Try installing ADB then unzipping the fastboot package into that folder. There are really good directions on xda, or google.
But if you get to the point where you fastboot oem unlock. There should be the unique id number there that you use to unlock...
Also try to reflash the pudding and the fastboot oem unlock command.

What happens when you try?

Tried all that but unzipping to adb folder only to desktop will try that tomorrow morn when I get home from work and will repost thanks for the reply

I got all the way to the warranty warning screen entered the id but must of entered.it incorrectly it unlock aborting tried again with redoing reflash all over again and problem is when entering.the first command in adb shell it says wrong path specified that's where im stuck now

What I did was extract these files to : c:\atrix
pudding_183.sbf
adb
adbwinapi.dll
adbwinusbapi.dll
fastboot
IHOP_bell.sbf
moto-fastboot
recovery
I'm not sure if I needed every file but I got done by changing my directory to
cd c:\atrix
then fastboot oem unlock
wrote down the code
then fastboot oem unlock (your # here)
fastboot reboot

Make sure you enter it exactly as it shows on the screen, and yes that does include capitol letters.
That's the only tip I can think of.

I could be mis-reading this so if I am I apologize however it seems that you are using the wrong program you need to use the fastboot exe not adb which would be the reason for getting the error messages. (if that is the case)

Prolly not your case, but I extracted the files to a folder so when I typed in their destination, the powers that be couldn't see them where I told them to look...

RSD Lite not loading .rar files?

So, for the millionth time, Im trying to unlock my bootloader and now I cant get the RSDLite to even recognize .rar files. Its not even an option anymore as a file it will load. Ive deleted and reinstalled and still no option for .rar file. Anyone have any suggestions?
Also, where Im suppose to "cd to my fastboot", does that mean that the folder I created on my desktop and extract the fastboot zip into is where I cd to and then run the unlock command once Im in that folder??
Ive probably asked 7 or 8 times and even PM a few of the devs and have yet to get any help that makes it where I can understand, so if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciate! Just PM me if you want or post here. It doesnt matter!
And if you do or can give advise, please dont just say "cd to where you have your fast boot and run it"? I dont 100% understand that.
Thanks in advance!!
Extract the sbf file from the rar. Flash.

That's because you don't pull .rar files into RSDLite. You need to get 7zip or Winrar and extract the .sbf from the zipped package. As far as the fastboot part, you need to put the folder somewhere easy to get to, such as right in your C:\ directory. Then you'll put into command prompt "cd C:\moto-fastboot" or whatever the name of the folder was. Then youll run the command "moto-fastboot oem unlock" blah blah as the instructions list.

Well ain't that some SHAT!! I knew I was forgetting a step and that was the extracting part! I seriously was about to dropkick my laptop!!!

One last question...when I run the oem unlock command...once I cd to the fast boot folder, do I physically type in run or just the unlock command?
example - run moto-fastboot oem unlock
or
moto-fastboot oem unlock

Second one. You don't need to put run infront of anything in cmd prompt.

Man your lucky. I had a few questions I posted in the unlocking thread and couldn't get one answer. I guess maybe next time I will just start a new thread in the dev section with my question. It really seems to get results.

Need help unlocking bootloader on 2.3.4

Ok, so I've read through the LOOK HERE FIRST thread, I've downloaded RSD Lite (can I still use version 5.5?, can't seem to find a link for 5.6), and I downloaded Motorola_PreRelease_Mobile_Drivers_5.2.1_32bit (again can't seem to find or don't know if I need newer drivers, and don't know what to do with the drivers). I also downloaded the derpunlock.sbf (should this file be only 10.2mb's?). I'm assuming qbking77's tutorial vid is obsolete now since the pudding thread is closed, but can I still follow that video?. Can someone point me in the right direction here? I can't brick this phone.

10.2 is correct.
I used this file two days ago:
Code:
Start RSD lite
Reboot phone into RSD mode (power+vol down)
Flash derpunlock.sbf
It may require a battery pull to get the phone to properly reboot
Reboot phone into fastboot mode
Open command prompt in the moto-fastboot folder and do the following:
moto-fastboot devices
moto-fastboot oem unlock
moto-fastboot erase recovery
moto-fastboot flash recovery recovery-red-photon3.img
moto-fastboot reboot

Ok, I don't know why this is so difficult to me. I've flashed tons of roms when I had my evo, and I've tried a few locked roms on this phone, flashed via bootstrap, but this unlock process has me stumped. Where do I get the correct derpunlock.sbf if don't have it? Do I have to flash moto-fastboot from my pc?
From here,
Start RSD Lite on your computer
Reboot phone into RSD mode: VOL down/Power. Use VOL down to scroll though options til you see "RSD" then VOL up to enable.
Connect phone to computer.
Flash derpunlock.sbf.
Close RSD Lite and disconnect phone.
Double click "Command Prompt" shortcut in the "Unlock" folder.
In the Command Prompt window type moto-fastboot oem unlock
Look for the UNIQUE ID number and copy it.
Type moto-fastboot oem unlock YOUR_UNIQUE_ID_THAT_YOU_JUST_COPIED (fastboot should reply <bootloader> Device is now unlocked )

I'm pretty sure it's in lokifish's unlock relock pack. If I'm not mistaken it's just a folder that holds everything you need to unlock, so it makes it easier on you.

help fixing my one + please

okay here is the story:
my freind bought a htc one x plus and it was working perfect till he reset the phone.
it now hangs on the " quietly brilliant screen" and does nothing else.
im not a novice on phones but would like some clarity on a fix.
i can confirm i can get the phone into bootloader mode and the below list appears i am unsure if the previous owner had installed a custom rom.
fastboot recovery
factory reset
simlock
show barcode
image crc
can some one give me some advice what a possible fix maybe i have been away from the scene for a while to due to illness
and are a bit rusty.
any help in plain simple terms would be most helpful thank you.
is it rooted?
if yes
install custom recovery
sideload a rom onto it
flash the correct kernel for it in bootloader (the mode your in right now)
if it's not rooted
find the correct RUU for it
he says its a sim free model so is there a european or uk sim free ruu u could point me to.
and how do i check its rooted ?
thanks
In hboot it will say unlocked..
I'm on the phone right now Google androidfiles ruu. Select enrc2b. Once you have it put the phone into boot loader and run it. Make sure you get one that = or > than the current hboot version

sorry not been lazy just carnt find a download to latest rom i need can u help thnks
go to bootloader choose fastboot and check what cid it is ("fastboot getvar cid")
we need to know cid to be sure which ruu u need
if it's unlocked you can easily use toolbox from this forum to flash a custom recovery and then flash a working rom.
there are also some threads in here which describe how to go back to stock rom, if you really prefere that

its says unlocked at bootloader ?
has a recovery program called team win recovery project
can i flash a custom rom ?
if so can some 1 suggest a good one please
also can i just flash the rom directly or do i need the boot,img file also bit confused lol
yes just flash ANY International rom right now...please don't go asking "which rom is the best" it's all personal pref. just grab a rom flash the boot.img and tada
ok thanks for all your help
just one slight problem
when im plugging phone into usb its coming up htc mpt device
but nothing opens for me to transfer files to
in my computer device manager device is there but drivers are not installed how do i fix this thanks ?
this a nightmare any one help ?
It's a nightmare because your not taking time to think. You have to sideload the rom from recovery. Take a deep breath and learn to use the the search function of this forum. Search adb sideload. ALL of the information and more exist here. Just take it.

do i leave it do its thing or is there a command i need to apply ?
guys all im getting in command promt is a list of writing its not uploading the elegancia zip
using the adb sideload method
what am i doing wrong ?
adb sideload nameoftheziphere.zip
for example if it's on the c drive
adb sideload c:/boobies.zip
if you put it in the folder with adb
then it's adb sideload boobies.zip
my command promt when opend gives this:
C:\Documents and Settings\Joanne Dyer>
my adb folder is just on C drive i think its the path maybe wrong
also when i adb devices
its found under "host" with serial number

just pmed you but to point you into the right direction: it's the spaces in the path to the file...
just move the files you want to flash or sideload to a simpler path lik C:\Roms\ or something like that to avoid any errors. maybe a subfolder within the toolkit-folder.
also look exactly at the path of your adb folder. it must not have spaces.

Dirtyracun HELP!

So I was trying to run a livecd and s-off my phone so I can get root. I have 2.09 so dirtyracun is the only was I can do this im told. Well the instruchions on there site are very vauge (to me at least). This is my first time ever trying to use ubuntu and I have no idea what im doing. I looked for a video walkthough but I could not find one.
for instance step 4 is
Check what mainver your phone is running
With your phone in Fastboot USB type the following:
sudo ./fastboot getvar mainver
But it does not tell me how to check the mainver? I dont even know what that is let alond how to do it. I need a very very simple complete walk throught, can anyone point me to one?

Ctrl+Alt+T to open up a terminal. Then cd into the folder where all your dirtyracun/babyracun files are. Then run all the commands from there. Most commands require you to be in fastboot on your phone. Babyracun requires you to be in TWRP. And babyracun is only required if you have the 3.16 OTA installed (which is what the first step tells you).
Ok, so I will be trying this tomorrow. I hope I can get throu it. Ill report back.

Are you running the commands from the folder your fastboot file is? If you download dirtyracun, one of the files in there is fastboot, just cd into the folder where you extracted them and run the command from there.
Other than that, make sure your phone says "fastboot usb" when plugged into the computer and in fastboot.

My Evo LTE is the first time I've ever had to use adb or fast boot and install SDK. I did, and I've used fastboot a few times now (not on this device, actually, on a GNex I have to maintain). But I'm really new to ASB, fastboot, and Linux commands. It might be helpful to explain what CD is/means. It would be helpful to me, too.

Sorry. The command "cd" (change directory) plus the folder or path to where the dirty racun files are. If you don't know the path, you can do
cd ls
to list the directories. If you see the folder you want, like your "dirtyracun" folder (or whatever you called it),
cd dirtyracun
will put you in that folder. This and putting "sudo ./" before every fastboot command is all the linux you need to know to s-off.

Unlimited io is good with help on irc. Post questions here and I could probably answer. Give me your phone info (info on the bootloader) and I could make you an easy/basic list of steps you need to take in order.
What are you currently trying to do?

Did you change the name of the recovery to "twrp.img" before putting it on your internal memory?
How to I access the irc?

[TUTORIAL]Unlock your bootloader and install a custom recovery with a Mac

Want to unlock your bootloader to install a custom recovery and root your One but have no idea how because you have a Mac?
Never fear, Gunnyman is here.
The procedure is actually pretty painless and only takes a few minutes
Some prerequisites:
ADB and Fastboot binaries for OS X, I've attached them to this post.
Your recovery of choice, I'm using Clockwork Mod Recovery, because TWRP seems to have problems with some Aroma installer based ROMS. Get CWM for the One from here
SuperUser.zip
a Unix friendly text editor. I really like Text Wrangler and it's free.
Android File Transfer for Mac macs don't work with MTP mode without this.
In developer Options on the phone, turn on USB Debugging
EDIT:
Thanks to user Shivasmith I now know you can skip textwrangler and
If you hold down the "Alt" (i.e. Option) key on the Mac keyboard in terminal you can do a "column select."
So when you generate the codes for the HTCdev unlock website, you can just do a straight copy-paste without going into TextWrangler. It made it that much quicker
So thanks for the tip!
I've been using macs for 10 years and never knew that.
1. Unzip the adb and fastboot binaries and put them where you can find them. I have a directory on my Mac called /Android and that's where my phone stuff lives, but you can put it anywhere.
2. Put the cwm recovery (or twrp if you prefer) in the same folder as adb and fastboot.
3. Got to htcdev.com and create an account there if you don't already have one.
4. Log in to htcdev.com and choose unlock bootloader.
5. pick the last option for Unlisted device.
6. Open a terminal window and navigate to where you installed fastboot,adb, and your recovery eg: cd /Users/Gunnyman/Android
7. In Terminal execute the following commands ./adb reboot bootloader once in bootloader mode In terminal execute the following command: ./fastboot oem get_identifier_token
8. Open Text Wrangler
9. Copy the output from the terminal window into Text Wrangler make sure you include every line AFTER "please cut the following message"
10. Use Text Wrangler to DELETE (bootloader) from every line and make sure the columns line up exactly.
11. Copy and Paste this output into the box you are provided on HTC Dev. This part is quite annoying, getting the lines to line up.
12. Submit your token. When successful you will be sent a key via email.
13. Put the Unlock.bin file you got via email in the same directory as adb and fastboot on your mac.
14. execute the following command in terminal with the phone in fastboot mode ./fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
15. Say yes to the prompts on the phone. Bootloader will unlock and the phone will be factory reset (there is NO way to avoid this)
16. OK Now the bootloader is unlocked. Time to install a recovery. In Terminal ./adb reboot bootloader
17. In terminal ./fastboot flash recovery name_of_the_recovery.img
18. After recovery has flashed POWER DOWN PHONE COMPLETELY Then restart it
19. connect phone to the Mac Android File Transfer should fire up
20. Put the Superuser.zip file on your phone
21. in Terminal ./adb reboot recovery
22. Flash the SuperUser.zip in recovery.
23. Pat yourself on the back your phone is now rooted.
great tutorial...thanks. quick question since i have the dev edition (unlock bootlader) can i just follow all these steps but go straight to # 16 to root my One?
thanks again.
Absolutely
WHEN I enter the "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin i get a "denied " message in the terminal can anyone figure this out for me
What are the cons of rooting the phone and installing a custom recovery?
I know that it voids the warranty. Is there anything else besides that?
Some people reported some functions not working.
Or is that just when you install a custom ROM?

I've seen it once before. It was solved by creating a new account on HTC.dev. And getting a new key.
No cons. Rooting doesn't do anything except add access to the super user account built into the device.

Not so far.
SU keeps aborting installation when I try to install it, any ideas?

Yeah, from CWM. I tried fixing permissions with no luck.

Did you turn phone on when you flashed recovery and then turn off then boot to recovery?

I turned off phone, booted phone into BL menu then from there into CWM.

Did you let the phone turn on and boot and then turn it off? Its important because when you unlocked bootloader/flashed recovery it completely reset your system meaning you need to boot it up and let it install the necessary stuff during boot animation (why it always takes so long the first time you boot up)

I am pretty sure I did, I will reflash the recovery and see if that fixes it.
Edit: I just noticed I am unable to go back and reflash the the recovery. Is there a stock att version without root and CWM already on them so I can start from scratch?
Nice one gunnyman. Never disappoint. Its actually simpler to do on a mac because there isn't any driver installation. I just hope that AT&T allows us to do this for a while so that all of us here can get out key. Thats really all you need. You don't even need to do it, but its always a good idea to just get the key so if AT&T decides to block it again, you're safe.
If you guys are having trouble getting TWRP or CWS to work, make sure you have fastboot turned off in the power settings. It caused mine to not mount data sometimes.
This is a good right up. Finally have a way to do this on my Mac
