Well to open cmd prompt. Do this
On your keyboard there's a window key. Its the key with the Microsoft "windows" logo on it. Located on the bottom left hand side of the keyboard.
Now press the window key and then the letter "R" . A little box will appear. When the little box appears type in "cmd" then hit the enter key. The black cmd prompt window should appear. If you still help with this let me know.

im all set now thanks anyways..
fastboot oem lock from the SAME folder as your adb while in command prompt...for example my setup is (open command promt, cd c:\android-sdk\platofmr-tools, fastboot oem lock)
thats how you relock it if you are hboot 1.50 or used htc unlock method..you must do this is you plan to RUU the phone back to factory. if your still s-off and want to re-root just install a ROM with root preinstalled

So I got my replacement from Sprint after bricking my phone by downgrading from s-off..
Now I tried to brick this one and seems like it turned off before I disconected and now I can't boot it up, and the downgrade tool won't detect it, I get a dim blinking red light.
Also when I try to boot up the phone it boots into the bootloader and it says Locked and under it it says security warning, what do I have to do?
Help please :/
Do I just re-do it?
anyone?
Run the ruu.
Check the sticky on how to get back to stock

Yeah.
Or wait. Unlock your phone?
The reason it shows security warning is because you probably flashed something then locked your phone. thats what happens to me after locking my phone.
But now why would you try to downgrade after you bricked your phone. haha

Your right but you don't need to unlock it again. Just run the 2.17 ruu exe through the bootloader and when your phone is hooked to the computer check in your device manager menu ( if you have windows) to make sure you have your drivers. It should say My HTC or adb android.

Correct me if I'm wrong. But if he unlocks his phone it should be able to boot up and not show security warning. Also you need to run ruu while your phone is on fasboot USB if not your phone will just reboot

"1. Go to data menu; enter ##3282# on the dialpad.
2. Click on "Edit Mode" on the menu that appears.
3. Enter your MSL # and hit "OK"
4. Choose "Data Profile" from the listed options.
5. Press your menu button on the phone and select "Restore" from the menu that appears. Then hit "OK.
6. Phone should reboot. Once it's back up, wait for it to start hands-free activation. Once this is complete you should be good as new!"
If that doesn't work just call Sprint and tell them you are getting the Error 16 message and they will get you back going. Happened to me months ago after using revolutionary and the phone call took less than 5 minutes.
Edit: If you don't know your MSL number you can get a free app off the Play Store named MSL Reader that will find it for you.

Your right, if he unlocks it it will allow him back into his ROM. I was just saying it wasn't nessasary to have to unlock again. When I was unrooting my phone to work on the down grade all I did was lock the phone and run the straight stock ruu 2.17 through the fastboot from my PC and every thing cleared up. You just need the drivers installed minus HTC sync

For some reason, my old HTC One would not be recognized in the toolkit's command prompt windows. I would send a command using the toolkit and every time, I get the "device offline" error. So after my old HTC One bricked itself and wouldn't power on anymore, I had T-Mobile replace it with a new one. So I get this new replacement in the mail and the first thing I try to do is use Hasoon2000's toolkit to unlock and root it. No luck with it either, I get the same "device offline" error. What am I doing wrong?
It's strange though because whenever I open up a command prompt window by itself, and run the adb devices command, it gived me back the ID number for my One. But it only shows offline when the toolkit runs a command in command prompt!
I could really use all of your help! I need to restore everything with titanium already!
Thanks!

So you put it in bootloader manually AND THEN you were able to use the toolkit successfully? Do you have to to do it manually every time you want to make a change with the toolkit?
Well I just used the kit to unlock boatloader, and flash recovery. After doing so I restored the Rom I was on and s-off'd the device using firewater. Device shows online now so if I was using the tool, booting manually into boatloader shouldn't be required but yes to the first question
T-Mobile HTC One
Ok so Iv manged to finally get the screen to say "waiting for device" But thats when the phone is on..
If i restart with VOL DOWN and power into FAST BOOT USB AND I GO type in the cmd " fastboot oem get_identifier_token."
It says >>>>>> <Bootloader> [ERR] COMMAND ERROR wTF is the issue? I downloaded a ADB tool that installed in my CMD, I tried the SDK and it never would take always threw up error etc, so I ran across something else and its the Furthest iv gotton so far..
Only issue now is This ERROR when im in FASTBOOT USB.. Ive got a Virgin Mobil.. HBOOT 1.58.0000
Also on the HTC DEV site when i would go to DL the Zip for windows, At one point it kept saying ADB etc is missing.. So i found a program with the main tools that makes it do what it needs to without all the extra stuff SDK installs, Which again BTW would never fully extract and work..
So i go to the zip file i download for windows and now i go to run it, and it throws up the CMD window for half a sec and i can see allot is filled out but it goes rite away... So as i said this is the furthest ive gotton to unlocken it.. What could be causing this???
I can walk you through it, I don't know what is in the zip you down loaded
Cant view code sent in email from htc dev

So ive manage to get my Phn to work for me and the program i DL/// . I got my token from HTC DEV, But now my only issue is The email they sent me with the code in it, I cant view it??
Does it take some kinda special view? It says its a UDF code or something? like that.. IM SOO CLOSE to unlocking it but so far at same time..
I never could get sdk tools to DL i found a ADB program that managed to make everything work just fine. It went from Pulling up NOTHING IN CMD for my phone, then with that simple download of the ADB program, It was a program someone just put the main things needed together and left out all the XTRA BS that SDK tools come with, SDK tools never once downloaded or open rite..
But as i said Ive pasted the TOKEN!! GOT SENT THE EMAIL, But the code attachment sent is not viewable, I have never run across something like this.... Ive also posted in EVO 3D about this issue, But anyone have a idea what i need to view the code?
BTW THIS IS THE SITE I DL THE PROGRAM FROM THAT FINALLY got me to get my CMD prompt to work for my phone and eventually give mmmmme my token..... Take a look at it... It might be allot easier new way for newbies in the future.

It's not viewable easily, you send file to phone using fastboot commands. The phone will bring up a screen asking you if you want to unlock

Im new to this whole thing, My issue also is I only have one smartphone, the one im unlocking and im just running it on wifi.. But Could i still send it to my phone somehow? Or is there another way to view the damn code>? I cant believe This one thing is holding me up..
it says this " VLC does not support the audio or video format "undf". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.
Ive saved it to the Folder that Has FastBoot and adb (The code sent to my email).. Then i go past in cmd" fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin"
But it just says error Cannot open Unlock code bin.
When i saved the program with the fastboot etc in it, I just made a New Folder, How do i make it a spefic location.. ? Like for example
C:\ANDROID
OR C:\ADB tHAT way i can type it into the CMD prompt an it recognize it? Im thinking thats one of my main problems now as well...
At first i saved my new files to My documents.. Then i sent the ones with ADB &FASTBOOT to lOCAL DISK C:\
Where am i going wrong?
You need to be in the directory with the fastboot.exe and unlock.bin
Man it has been awhile for me to use Windows.
Maybe easier to make a folder in c:\
everything needs to be in same folder

Forget about HTC DEV it won't work with hboot 1.5+. You'll want s-off to be truly rooted anyways, and HTCdev will only unlock you.
You'll need to downgrade the bootloader to 1.4 and ROM(main) version to 1.13. Then run Revolutionary S-OFF, then reupdate the hboot back to 1.58 and main version back to 2.95.
I only know the process for my sprint cdma. However, none of my carrier settings were altered during that process, so I can say with quite a bit of certainty that the same process / RUU files can all be used on your phone as well
I put together a pretty clear noob guide in the first post of the lnk below. Took me 3 or 4 days with the help of two other members here, so when I finally got S-OFF I put together a summary of the whole process include all the links to the tools / files needed.
You'l need
blank CD and burner, know how to boot from a CD
data USB cable
Micro-sd adapter so you can load files onto your phone's micro-sd from your PC

As for the HTCdev unlock....I used ROOTEVO3DNEW instead of the fastboot binares that HTCdev gives you(C:\Android). Create a new folder in C:\ and name it rootevo3dnew. Unzip all rootevo3dnew.zip contents into that folder. This is the folder where you will do everything instead of C:\Android...place the unlock key .bin file directly in the main directory of rootevo3dnew . Type cd \rootevo3dnew in cmd to change the directory and repeat the process as you would with C:\Android
Chances are that will not work either, you will need to do the brick / downgrade
I ordered a Redmi note 4 through Amazon India, came out alright, all properly sealed and everything but one thing caught my attention is that on developer settings the phone unlock status says it's already unlocked! How can this be possible?
That's weird. Did you call a customer service centre? If I'd receive such product my first though would be to confirm if the Mido I got is a refurbished one or 1st hand. And even if it's one, then the Xiaomi guys should have relocked it... Maybe it's a software bug, try restarting. And the ultimate way to confirm is to use your PC, and you know the rest I hope.
Well, if you feel you can replace it (maybe) talk to amazon guys and confirm if they cover such thing in their replacement policy. Good luck.

How to check if it's refurbished via PC?
Maybe you have RN4x, it is default unlocked... You can check your box, if it is with chinese language you have 4x, if you have with english lang. it is RN4 Global version and it is locked default...
Edit: also check if it is Snapdragon 625 version or maybe it is MTK?

You have to check if the bootloader is really unlocked or not. For this download this zip - https://drive.google.com/open?id=13Sjej5zIJPm_yiJQOVR4rEocwbhDc9oh
Unzip in pc and inside the platfrom-tools folder hold shift and right click.
In the menu it should say, open command prompt here or open powershell here.
click on the provided item (whatever of both it shows)
now, boot your device in fastboot by switching it off and holding down the power and volume down. Once the fastboot mode is open, connect your device via cable to your pc.
Now if you opened a command prompt window then type in -
Code:
fastboot devices
This command will show the connected fastboot devices. If nothing is printed on screen on executing command, then try reconnecting.
then type -
Code:
fasboot oem device-info
But if you have powershell then type in
Code:
.\fastboot devices
and
Code:
.\fastboot oem device-info
This will return some data and now you have to check the first two parameters saying "device tampered" and "device unlocked".
If device unlocked says true, then that means someone had actually used the device before. and if device tampered says true, then definetly someone has tested out your device, by doing all kinds of stuff like installing roms etc.
Use the mi flasher and flash the most current xiaomi rom. Your rom is probably a vendor rom, which is bad.

Thanks for making it easy for me. ?
Sometimes sellers unlock bootloader to flash other roms version. It's usually on online selling where there is Chinese roms on devices and buyers want global version.
As allready ppl stated, check by adb fastboot to see if its really unlocked.

You should contact xiaomi for this. And the seller from which you bought it. Because 98% of companies aren't allowed to sell phones with unlocked bootloader. Just leave it as it is. Tampering it by yourself would mean that you yourself did something to phone, which u haven't (not much, what u did is ok) . So getting in touch with the company and the provider would be a better option.
