Hey guys, im sure theres a thread about this already and please dont pick on me, i just cant find it for the love of me, plus my boss is on my ass about computer time.
can someone please point me in the direction of unlocking the bootloader on a atrix that came with the official 2.3.4 update. i really hate blur and i want to install a custom rom, i have superuser and cwm installed i just need to unlock the bootloader
This thread is how I did it. Pretty painless. Make sure you read the thread before you do it though. The OTA update will soft brick your phone before you issue the unlock command. Be sure to thank the original poster.

Hey guys,
I know, there are several tutorials who explain, how to root a HTC Legend HBOOT 1.01.
I created a goldcard successfully, but now, the tutorial I want to use, this one, tells me in its second step, I should already have a rooted phone, but I'm using the tutorial to root this phone ?!
How should I already have a rooted phone in a tutorial which tells me how to root it?
Btw, next step of the tutorial is, to downgrade the legend to 1.31.
Can I use this tutorial too? [HOWTO] DOWNGRADE to 1.31 which you can then root for Legend 2.1
Please, can someone bring me back on the right way, I am confused and read too much different tutorials, don't know which one to follow now.
My target is a working CM7 with CWR on my mates legend.
Nobody can help me? Plz, just a link might help...
Quick intro
Hi
you need a Legend with version 2.1 of Android if you want to root your phone - and part of the 2.1 software suite includes RUU ver.1.31 which is the last version allowing us to upload to our own devices.
1. First you make a goldcard making it possible to downgrade your otherwise locked firmware in your phone as your goldcard unlocks Android 2.2 on your Legend.
2. Then you install Android 2.1 which includes RUU 1.31 making it possible to upgrade/update/exchange the ROM as you please as it is locked in later versions after version 1.31.
3. You find a good ROM on and follow one of the many guides on this page TO THE LETTER - ROM on sdcard and so on
4. Flash, Enjoy and press Thanks to the people who gave you the ROM
Hi there! Just now I bought a new HTC Flyer 16GB wifi only, I just want to root it and s-off, im very sorry to all who will be reading it but I just want to know what is the latest HBOOT and Recovery for HTC Flyer WIFI. i just already updated it over the air into Honeycomb 3.2 and I feel my device is so laggy.I've got confused in some of the instruction there in the thread and i'm asking your kind heart if you can help me to know and to got the correct version / links so I can root it rightly. Is there no possibility for me to brick it? and if I brick it, it's easy to unbrick it or not? Thank you very much for your kind help and I really apppreciate all the help that you can share. Thank you very much and sorry for my awful question
Your goal is back to gb?
if ever i root my device? is it possible also to install custom rom with Ginger bread version even though im in Honeycomb official version?
Not without downgrading your hboot
Flyer
so it means i can only install Honeycomb custom ROM unless i will downgrade my hboot, if ever i downgrade my hboot, both HC and GB I can install?
by the way thanks for the info.
Just check out kevinrocksman multi toolkit
I would rather use telepathy but I'm stuck in a Dark Age.
thanks for the info i'll try to google it,and one more thing, can anyone tell me what is the latest hboot for honeycomb? sorry just a noob for this kind
He has Flyer not View.
To run HC u need HC hboot. To run GB u need GB hboot. So whenever u want to migrate from one to another u not onlly need to change rom but Hboot as well.
To perma root it u have 2 choices Soff method via revolutionary or HTC unlock.

Thank you so much for the guide, I will follow what you instructed, One more question, if ever there's a tendency to brick it, is it easy also to unbrick the device? Actually this is the first time i will root a device, my evo3d was rooted by my friend and he is out there to help me. Thanks again for your kind help
I seen people being stuck at diferent steps/results and i belive most were resolved by experienced ppl on this forum (points at globathron for example)
Sorry my bad I've been stuck w no hboot on the View all day lost focus.
I would rather use telepathy but I'm stuck in a Dark Age.

This thread contains all the info you need to get s-off and downgrade hboot. You need to downgrade hboot to run aosp roms like cm10 Aokp or evervolv.
The best recovery is 4EXT.
If you are unable to get unlock token using htcdev someone else might be able to do it for you. You just have to provide that code for unlock token.
Hi, I'm pretty new to the android scene, I've looked for a few days if there is a possible way to unlock bootloader on an Xperia M4 Aqua 2306, the issue is my phone has Bootloader unlock allowed = No and didn't actually find if there is an actual way to do this.
Found a few threads talking about how to unlock the bootloader but it seems from some posts that it's not possible to unlock, I was wondering if anyone could help me figure it if there is any possibility to unlock since my phone is quite slow and would love to breath some life to it, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Click to collapse
the onli way i was able to root my 2306 was to downgrade with flashtool to lolipop the vertion 26.1.A.1.112 ...the onli one old enough to root with kingroot the onli app i found to root lolipop ....but then none of the tutorial i read got me back to the last update without loosing root and aving to deal with the 100 of preinstalled app .....tryed to let it at lolipop but the phone is now extremly sloooooow
was able to get to recovery but then after looking at all custom rom .....they all need to be install with fastboot and they all stated that you need unlock bootloader so i stop trying the phone is not realy worth it anyway
