Hi guys,
a have a big problem. Just unlocked my HTC Evo with the unlock method by HTC and installed the Leedroid CFW (newest). Because a had problems with my wifi I flashed the wifi-fix fromm xda. Still didn`t work for me. Then I flashed a new kernel (Anthrax) and now I have a bootloop. tried everything (flashed the stock kernel, flashed a new rom, tried to put back to stock rom by flashing the RUU from Europe....). Nothing worked for me. Any ideas?
Could anybody help me?Bootloader works (fastboot included) but it doesn`t start at all.

Download this =====> http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/H...otevo3dnew.zip (no need if you already have fastboot/adb files.If you are gsm user, there might be different files)
Download any ROM or use any ROM that you have.
Download a superwipe tool ( or you can manually wipe everything from recovery).
>extract the "rootevo3dnew.zip" you downloaded above in "C:\" drive.(So it should be like "c:\rootevo3dnew\*.* ")
> install "HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe" from it.
> open the ROM.zip (that you want to flash) with winRAR/7z and copy the boot.img from it to the rootevo3dnew folder.
> open cmd prompt ( press the key between "alt and fn" and press "r" then type cmd and hit enter)
> navigate to fastboot folder ( command : "cd c:\rootevo3dnew")

> connect to PC (phone should say fastboot-usb)
> type command "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
> now type "fastboot boot cwm-4.0.1.4-shooter.img"

If you are unlocked using HTC method then you cannot flash any kernel directly from recovery.You will have to use fastboot method our flash image GUI app or bout recovery using fastboot then flash kernel.
If you flash any kernel directly from recovery you will have issues with wifi,4g etc.
Hope this clarify hope issue..........

Are you sure you have tried this?
"fastboot boot cwm-4.0.1.4-shooter.img"
Is the bootloader still unlocked?
Phone started directly with OS. No recovery. Have the Insert Coin 1.0 running. Shall I boot phone in recovery menue to flash Insert Coin 1.0 again (after a full wipe) or shall I flash Insert Coin 1.1 (update) without reflashing the 1.0?

Use the recovery worked for you/Download a recovery that works for gsm phones and put it in fastboot folder.
then boot into boot loader....... select fastboot........connect to PC.........open command prompt........navigate to fastboot folder..........type "fastboot flash recovery xxxxxxxxx.img" xxxxxxxxxx is the name of recovery....
Then type "fastboot boot xxxxxxxxx.img"
then wipe everything and flash another ROM........make sure while flashing/wiping from recovery the red LED is lit up.
Ok seems to work. How can I S-Off?Is S-Off needful?
im in the same spot he is but now my bootloader says locked at the top but s-off still. I just cant get the commands to work on pc to try to use fastboot.

I just got a replacement phone from Sprint...
I had to downgrade using the RUU posted in here in order to use the HTC Unlocker (See Sticky).
When I tried to fastboot the CWM image 4.0.1.5 or the latest 5.0.2.0 and go into recovery, my phone just reboots.
I fastboot 'ed 4.0.1.4 and It comes up fine.
Just a heads up...
Isn't the latest version of CWM 5.0.2.0? Have you tried to use that?
no go on 5.0.2.0

With the 4.0.1.4 can't load any roms... Random lock ups and freezes after FRESH and Warm install.
No Rom for me I guess :-(
Don't use CWM. Use TWRP and see if it works.
Also, you're doing 'fastboot flash recovery.img' and 'fastboot boot recovery.img' right?

I did fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (The filename was actually different)
I did NOT do fastboot boot recovery
I just selected bootloader - recovery...
CM works as long as it is 4.0.1.4
TWRp works fine... I just can;t flash any roms.. The two I tried seem to install fine then when the phone reboots, they lock up at various points during bootup.
You can try to use boot manager. It's a paid app on the market and I think people have had success with it and hboot 1.5.
Cwm works fine dunno what you were having issues with unless you were typing the flash cmd in wrong . Anyways u didn't have to downgrade the software all you needed to do was use the latest ruu exe the 2.17 one would of got you going.
Twrp 2.0 has been know to cause dirty flashes to themes not working along with apk files missing that were cooked into a rom. I have seen the issue did it for me.
Anyways make sure with cwm that when you rename it call it cwm do not put cwm.img
Other wise when you go to flash it will error
Cause the file will be cwm.img.img seen a lot of people do it that way and have issues.
I had to downgrade because I could not get root. In order to get root you have to downgrade the software on the phone and then use the htc method... as far as I know.
The only recent version of CWM I could get to run was 4.0.1.4, but so far I can not load any Roms. They all fail at what seems to be right before they complete booting up.
I have given up for now... I use this phone as my daily and will have to run stock until the geniuses out there figure out whats up...

Do it via fastboot (fastboot boot recovery.img) and any ROM/Kernel will work.
If you do it via bootloader>recovery it cannot write to boot partition and hence device will hang/reboot etc.
Tried just
fastboot boot recovery.img
recovery image was CWM 5.x
Phone resets and sits on the HTC screen then reboots and boots to home screen, however it is as if the phone reset itself... Have to set everything up again.
I have no clue whats up!?

I had a similar issue (see link in my signature for specifics & walkthru). The new Cwm Touch 5.img file loaded up for me. That Cwm v4 was the only other that would work on mine.
Keep in mind you may have problems restoring Nandroid (recovery) backups, boot.img/kernel, if you don't use fastboot to enter recovery first ( fastboot boot YourRecoveryFilename.img ) .

- Factory Resets
- Wiping Dalvik & Cache
- Wiping Dalvik/Cache BEFORE & AFTER installing a ROM
- Wiping (and formatting) the SD Card
- Wiping everything (and formatting it) except for SD Card.
- Rebooting without SD Card

the reason its not booting is probably because you didnt flash the boot.img using fastboot. that is required to get roms to boot when you are s-on.
first install the rom from recovery.
then extract the boot.img from the rom zip file(probably in the kernel/shooteru folder) then place it in the folder where you have adb,fastboot and AdbWinApi.dll which you used to unlock.
then open cmd. change directory to the folder containing adb/fastboot.
Connect your phone in bootloader mode and make your it says "fastboot usb"
then type in cmd "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
it should do a process and show that it completed.
then reboot and it should boot up.

Did as you said...its still does not boot up..
I was just trying out so i typed "adb devices" and it did not showed any attached devices
But when i type "fastboot devices" it shows "HT18FU202032 fastboot"
Can this be the problem by any chance that i cannot see any attached devices when i type adb devices??
The tutorial which you linked has a screen shot where adb decives can be seen...but thats not the case for me..i can see only fastboot devices..
Your help is appreciated !
adb wont run when you are in fastboot. in the screenshot he runs that command before booting into bootloader.
i think the problem might be that you are trying to install a GB rom.
just do the method D. in step 2 dont do the GB steps do the ICS one
---------- Post added at 02:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 PM ----------
flash an ICS ROM from recovery(Method B from 10 to 14)

So I just bought an HOX+ a couple of hours ago, and I used the HTC all-in-one kit to unlock it. I then flashed CMW through the same program flawlessly.
The problem occurred when I flashed boot.img from the Android Revolution HD ROM, which your supposed to do before you flash the ROM he says. Well, after I did that, I rebooted the phone to transfer the custom ROM to the phones storage to install through CWM, but it now boot loops at the htc boot screen. This makes sense because the boot.img is not the original one for the stock ROM. However, there is no way of installing the custom ROM onto the device. Seems as though I missed to put the ROM on the phone's memory before flashing that boot.img....stupid of me
I can not install the custom ROM because:
- There is no mount USB storage in CWM, which on my previous phone there was....
- adb push command does not work because it can't find the device. Only fastboot finds the device, and there are no commands I see that install a zip.
- sideload also does not work as it says its 'out of date' and then cannot find the device
- I can't boot into the OS to copy the file because of the boot.img and boot looping.
- I tried flashing this stock boot.img file found Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29173294; all that did was shut down the device instead of looping after the HTC quietly brilliant bootup screen.
- All the stock RUU's are .exe that you install when your in the phone's OS, which doesn't work for me...right? Or can they work in the bootloader/recovery...
I find it weird that I didn't see anything about rooting the device at all after unlocking, but whatever....
So now I am stuck because I cannot install the custom ROM, but I also don't have the original boot.img of the stock ROM.
I am using an ATT htc one X+ quad core. I can still boot into CWM.
How do I fix this?
First thing, you just flashed an INTERNATIONAL ROM on your AT&T/TELUS phone, this the bootloop reason. (If your profile is up to date)
Second thing, you should have taken TWRP Recovery over CWM because all aptions are tested and approved working with TWRP Recovery + HOX+
Third thing you didn't mention that your SDK/ADB/HTC's Drivers combo tools are installed.
Fourth and nonetheless you didn't read enough before proceeding with all the unlocking+rooting process.
Now, can you access your bootloader and is your phone recognized when plugged?
Thanks so much for the reply. I'll answer in order to make it more concise:

I did not actually flash any custom ROM yet to the phone. After unlocking and flashing CWM to it using the all-in-one kit, all I did next was flash a boot.img file that your supposed to flash before installing the custom ROM (Android Revolution HD). I even forgot to put the custom ROM on my phone before flashing the boot.img, let alone install it.

I originally had an motorola ATrix 4g, so I assume I have them all, but I did download all of it before I started. I downloaded the HTC drivers and the android SDK before I started, and I had an ADB package before. Maybe its the adb package that's giving me difficulties?
Now, can you access your bootloader and is your phone recognized when plugged?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I can access the bootloader, fastboot, and CWM recovery fine. However, the device is only recognized under fastboot, and not under adb in both fastboot and CWM. There is no 'mount usb storage' like I had on my Atrix, and adb commands like 'sideload' and 'push' do not work as the device is not found ever under adb. Again, it seems as though usb debugging is off because I factory reset it through the bootloader, but I can not get into the OS to change that.
All right, if your phone is still with the original ROM installed (you didn't say you had full wiped the phone) the only thing you have to do is to flash the original boot.img for HTC ONE X+ not the HTC ONE X like you did.
Please do take the right TWRP Recovery for the HTC ONE X + (EVITARE_UL) HERE for your AT&T / TELUS phone.
Rename this file like this TWRPrecovery.img (it's only easier to flash)
Put it in your platform-tools folder of SDK
Reboot in bootloader and put your phone in fastboot USB by plugging your USB cable
If your phone can be recognized with : fastboot devices (serial number validation) proceed with this : fastboot flash recovery TWRPrecovery.img (Enter)
If the result is Success, type : fasboot erase cache (Enter)
Done.
Unplug the USB cable hit Power button one time
Select Recovery (Volume down)
Power button one time
Rebooting in Recovery
You can try to sideload an AT&T/TELUS ROM
Try this, I will found you an original boot.img for your ROM version.

That is fine. Do consider that sideloading can take some time, patience is the key. I will gave you the original AT&T boot.img in a few.
Here it is, this an original boot.img for AT&T (EVITARE_UL)
Put it in your platform-tools folder of SDK

You are a GOD. Thank you so much, that worked. I can now boot into the stock ROM.
Alright, if you have the time, one very last question.
I want to make sure I am correct with this process. I want to install the Elegancia AT&T version. Here is what I would do.
1) Transfer the ROM.zip to root of phone memory
2) extract and install the boot.zip to the phone first through fastboot flash boot 'file'
3) Then without rebooting install the ROM.zip through TWRP
I assume the ROM comes with SU which roots the device.
That is a good news!
Yep! To flash your intend ROM simply transfer the file to your storage.
Reboot in fastboot, flash the Elegancia boot image like you did for the sock one (simply rename the modded boot image i.e. EleganciaBoot or Eboot.img) Simply download the Kernel flasher then Copy/Paste the boot.img inside the folder.
If your phone can be recognized with : fastboot devices (serial number validation) proceed with this : fastboot flash boot EleganciaBoot.img (Enter)
Again if the result is Success, type : fasboot erase cache (Enter)

Rebooting in Recovery
Do a FULL BACKUP of your actual ROM and keep it in a safe place on your computer once rebooted
Full wipe Factory reset, system, cache & Dalvik
Flash your new ROM
Reboot Enjoy!
All ROM you will flash are already rooted, so no extra step for this.
This is long, but it's nice for noobs because it's detailed. It's honestly kind of fun, I promise. I'm assuming you have WINDOWS. This is based off of the guide by torxx!. It's modified because some of the info is outdated (you don't have to flash the boot.mg separately, for example). If you are NOT a noob you can just look at the "overview" for each step.
UNLOCKING YOUR DEVICE WILL WIPE YOUR DEVICE. THIS IS A SECURITY FEATURE. BACKUP FIRST.
Part 1- gaining unlock token
Overview: go to htcdev.com and unlock bootloader
Be sure you've turned off fast boot option in power menu; usb debugging should be on (settings -> developer options).
Go to http://www.htc.com/www/software/htc-sync-manager/[1] and install HTC SYNC. Alternatively, if you know what you're doing, you can install these drivers:
x86 http://www.mediafire.com/?qabo1tue2v1ky75 x64 http://www.mediafire.com/?8dl8s3l9mr6ggr9
Go on http://www.htcdev.com[4] and create yourself an account on HTCDEV.
Download these adb/fastboot files: http://d-h.st/RvD
Make a new folder anywhere. We'll use C:/fastboot as an example.
Extract the zip downloaded to the new folder
Go Here http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/[6] and select "All Other Supported Models" and "then begin unlock bootloader" (check the boxes, click proceed, all that good stuff). YOU CAN IGNORE THE DIRECTIONS THAT THEY TELL YOU (and follow this guide instead).
Power off your phone. Power your phone on by holding power and volume down.
Highlight 'Fastboot' the volume buttons then press power to "select".
Plug your phone into your PC and open a Command Prompt. (windows XP - Click Start > Run > type CMD in box then press OK; Windows 7 - Click Start > type CMD in search box then press Enter) Change directory to your folder where we put fastboot files by typing cd c:\fastboot for example.*
*Alternatively, you can just hold down shift and right click in the folder and select "open command window here". Neat huh?
Type this into your command prompt window: fastboot oem get_identifier_token
Select & copy the text as per step 9 on the HTCDev website
Paste your identifier token into the box at the bottom and submit
You Will Very Shortly Receive an email from HTCDev with a link to the second part of the instructions and your "Unlock_code.bin" attached
Download the "Unlock_code.bin" from the email and save it to the same folder that we extracted fastboot files
Type this into your command prompt window: fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
The Display Will change on your phone, press Vol+ to accept and power to confirm.
Part 2
Overview: flash your recovery. Boot into recovery. Turn phone off if it boots into OS. Boot into back into recovery. You're done!
Download a recovery:
TWRP (the one I use): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173870
CWM 2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2172979
CWM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173863
Place the Recovery file to the folder where the fastboot.exe is.
Same thing as above- boot (volume down + power) into the bootloader and highlight 'Fastboot' the volume buttons then press power to "select".
Do the same thing as with the command prompt above. This time, however, you'll be typing:
fastboot flash recovery "name_of_the_recovery.img"
For example:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-m7.img
then type:
fastboot erase cache
From the menu, boot into recovery (use volume to move up and down, power to select). The phone might boot to the OS instead of recovery, don't worry!
Turn off phone then turn on (while holding volume down) to boot back into the bootloader.
TAMPERED shows up, boot into recovery and now your recovery should be working!
Part 3- obtaining root
Overview: flash a super tool
Download a super user tool for root:
SuperSU (I use this one): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
SuperUser: http://download.clockworkmod.com/superuser/superuser.zip
Alternatively, download this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2252959. This is a stock rooted rom for ATT. If you download and flash this instead of the super user tool, you're done. (This rom includes super user) Or you can download a custom rom such as this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183023
Turn on your phone again (and disable usb debugging) and connect to computer, copy the .zip super user tool to a location you remember ON the phone.
Flash it with the Recovery: Power off your device and then hold the VOL DOWN + Power to boot into the Bootloader Navigate with VOL and Power to Recovery Now flash the .zip:
- install zip from sdcard
- choose zip from sdcard
- select the downloaded SuperSU/SuperUser zip file and flash it
- Reboot now
You're not out of the woods yet! The stock kernel is system write protected, so you still can't modify it (changes won't "stick"). You'll have to flash a custom rom or a kernel if you want stock instead.
I recommend these kernels: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2255900 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2233665&highlight=menu
Download it.
Installing custom rom/kernel ("flashing a rom")
Overview: Download Rom, boot into recovery and wipe and then flash.
According to Shenye, even though your device is s-on, you can still flash boot now. So just do this:
Turn on your phone again (and disable usb debugging) and connect to computer, copy the .zip kernel/cutom rom to a location you remember ON the phone.
Flash it with the Recovery: Power off your device and then hold the VOL DOWN + Power to boot into the Bootloader Navigate with VOL and Power to Recovery Now flash the .zip:
- install zip from sdcard
- choose zip from sdcard
- select the downloaded SuperSU/SuperUser zip file and flash it
- Reboot now
I feel like this title should be changed to clarify that it's unlocking the bootloader, not the SIM lock.
Just wanted to say this tutorial was 100% dead on and what I used to unlock bootloader and root/rom my One.
Oddity - Did everything, I've got root but I -AM- out of the woods. Was installing bulletproof mod through recovery but it kept failing due to missing a MD5 file or something -- Trying to work that out through that thread atm but anyway, rebooted the phone a couple of times now and I still have root, Tit back up works OR are we talking about things like CPU clocking won't work since it can't rewrite?
Sticking this.
Excellent tutorial. One thing to add:
If you flash the TWRP recovery you link to, after TWRP boots for the first time, if you reboot into System, TWRP will offer to install SuperSU for you; no need to find another to flash. Once the system reboots, you can launch the GUI installer to finish the SU install (it will boot into TWRP and back one more time to do the actual flash).
Does anyone know if this will work on the Rogers HTC One?
Thank you. Followed this last night. Worked flawlessly. The only thing that threw me was rebooting into recovery. It took maybe 3 or 4 reboots for it to say "TAMPERED" at the top. When it didn't say tampered, it would not boot to recovery.
TELUS?

No, I have a Rogers device. But the procedure should not be any different.
followed step by step and got an error that says submitted token wrong length
I'm on ubuntu 13.04 and I get stuck at getting the token. I type in fastboot oem get unlock_identifier_token and it says waiting for device. Tried it with sudo and it says error and sudo ./fastboot and it says no such command.

Having a really odd problem. I flash the twrp recovery per instructions. I try to reboot to recovery and it seems to try and then, blam, the att boot.
I have tried this from the bootloader, selecting Recovery, as well as from a booted stated using "adb reboot recovery".
Any hints for me? I originally had a silver One and today got my Black One replacement,. Had no issues on the original one. Hmm. Guess I will try CWM.
FYI: Yes I unlocked the bootloader and it says Unlocked in there
-I also notice that I seem to go right into fastboot, when I boot the bootloader. Now, I believe that is normal if you have the usb cable attached, but this happens regardless.
-flashed stock recovery back and can get into it. trying twrp again, renaming the file to "recovery.img" just because...and it worked on that stock recovery file
-Also, very hard to get into bootloader from powered off state. I may flash RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_Cingular and see if it helps me.
OK, maybe it is the phone or ATT has done something screwy on the latest. I can not even get the RUU install to pass inspection. Wants me to check the connection. I know all my stuff is in order, as I did this all on the previous one. grrr
-Just noticed mine does say Unlocked but it does not say Tampered.
-Crazy. I decided to get a new Unlock token and redo the unlock with it. Now, the bootloader finally says Tampered and I got into TWRP. I have no idea why, since I would think that if the original Unlock token was incorrect, it would not have unlocked the phone.
So, rather than providing worthwhile information for anyone else having problems, I think this post is probably deletable and that is fine by me should the powers so decide.
How would one go back to locking the device for a return?!?

fastboot oem lock
but, it will say relocked. nobody cares or seems to check. also, it will say tampered until you restore a stock ruu to flash. I used RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_Cingular.exe for mine when switching from silver to black. it is the right one for att. sorry, don't have the link to the download anymore.
great writeup! quick comment though, just helped my brother unlock his phone. i had a similar issue to @Barsky above so I decided to try to reflash the recovery. The first time I used the line fastboot erase cache after flashing the recovery and I think that's what caused it to not boot into recovery. The second time I flashed TWRP, I didn't enter that line and voila it worked on the first try!
can anyone post a mirror of the dev host files? devhost seems to be down.
nice...

I think the last bit was your problem. You can't factory reset from bootloader. Try to push twrp again in fastboot then load/flash clean romantic, then boot up. It already has root so you don't need to push su.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2161968
but nothing happened.
i m still running the stock rom.
I found these instructions but couldnt understand them
Code:
- Extract boot.img from zip and put into your folden when you have fastboot.
- Put rom into sd
- Full wipe from recovery
- Flash rom
- Flash boot.img with an erase cache before and after boot flash
can anyone help me plz
thanx in advance
The easiest method available is to flash 4EXT recovery and turn on smartflash in options. this way you wont need to flash boot.img every time you install a rom.
If you still want to know what that guy was trying to say then read on.
during unlocking you must have used adb.exe and fastboot.exe files. you need to extract boot.img file from your ROM zip and put it in the folder where adb and fastboot files are located.
after that open cmd and navigate to that folder. then connect your phone in fastboot mode (turn off phone and hold power+vol down to boot into bootloader and select fastboot from menu)
the phone should now show "FASTBOOT USB". now enter this command in cmd without the inverted commas: "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
it should something like sending and write OK in cmd
then reboot phone.
P.S. that rom is very similar to stock rom with little visual differences. check in settings>about phone>software number.. if it shows skydragon3D then your rom flashed correctly
thank you so much man
