[Q] Pin lock - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I bought an atrix on-line and it was sent with a pin lock. They obviously did not know to wipe the data. Can I get around it somehow? I would like to unlock BL and root etc so I can actually use the phone. Any help is appreciated.

Ok I found an app called "unlock bypass" but it needs to be installed to the phone. Does anyone know how to push an app through adb?

Not sure what the command is in fastboot. Also does the phone have to be previously put into debugging mode. Because it is not. Thanks

Make sure you are in right mode fast boot (volume down + power ) from cold start, volume down again to find fast boot and volume up to select. Also make sure you have all the drivers installed prior all these.

[Q] PC doesn't recognize phone in fastboot

Hey
so my computer, running Win7Pro x64, is not recognizing my phone (HTC DNA verizon) in fastboot mode. it can see it in ADB both in android and recovery.
i'm trying to either follow moonshine or rumrunner to get my phone to go into s-off so that i'll be able to install the ROM i want.
little back story -
my daughter (11 months) was playing with a baby app and got into the phone settings and somehow made it so the notification bar was gone (though the settings still said it should be there) and also made it so the UI kept crashing. i tried reinstalling my ROM didn't correct it so i reset bask to factory. it got it back up and working
at this point i noticed there is an update for my ROM and so i went to install it and it got stuck at the boot screen. so i followed some tips from a guy in the ROM thread and sideloaded stock so i can attempt to go s-off. this is where i am now.
i'm not sure why fastboot is not working correctly. anyone have any ideas?

Are you typing "fastboot devices" or "adb devices" when your phone is in fastboot?

Windows 8.1 broke the fastboot drivers. AFAIK there is no workaround or fix. Use another computer.
Update... you can go back to windows 8.0 by going to >settings >change pc settings, then I think it's the middle option to restart system and saves your files. This got me back to windows 8.0 and now my fastboot drivers work again.
i am also unable to go into fastboot mode,,but surprisingly adb recognized my devices,,but when i type "adb reboot bootloader" after that i get an error USB malfunctioned !!!,,please help me to unlocked my bootloader??? HTC DROID DNA,HBOOT 1.54.00 ,Firmware 3.06,,os4.2.2, sence 5

[Q] Driver Issues

I've searched and not found anyone with my exact issue so please forgive if this redundant.
I am unlocked and s-off with CWM v6.0.4.5. I've been on CM11 nightlies and unable to get my pc to see the phone(vista 32bit). I flashed back to CM10.2 and could then see the phone in windows. I wanted to install CM11 again with a clean start so I moved Rom and gapps to the pc and wiped and formated EVERYTHING in CWM intending to then sideload CM. Now I cannot get my pc to see the phone at all. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling HTC sync, tried different usb cables and ports and tried a different computer(windows 7 64bit) all to no avail.
Are there any tricks that can be done with drivers to make the pc see the phone or is there any other way for me to get files back on the phone. Any help is greatly appreciated.
In settings goto storage. Then open the menu in storage (either the 3 dot menu or the hardware button if remapped) and you will be able to pick USB COMPUTER CONNECTION

Thanks for the reply. I probably should have clarified that there is not a bootable rom on the device. The device has the bootloader and recovery and nothing else on it at all. To farther clarify, my pc does see my device as HTC6435LVW, it simply won't find the drivers even though they are installed and when I type "adb devices" in a command prompt it doesn't find my phone. Also tried putting the phone into fastboot and searching for "fastboot devices" and nothing comes up that way either.

Your Software/Firmware version is 2.06
Moonshine will work, it's how I got S-Off on my third DNA.
The first two I did the hard way.
Follow the instruction EXACTLY.
You will have to download the latest SDK tools and the correct drivers.
You must have ADB and Fastboot working.
Turn off your Firewall on your PC.
Uninstall HTC Sync.
This is all in the instructions. If you can't get it to work, maybe you shouldn't root your device.
Maybe tell us what error your getting????

If ADB and Fastboot both recognize device, then your drivers are okay.
Fastboot drivers are broken on Windows 8.1
Windows 8.0 and earlier work okay for me.
USB 2.0 port. Do not use a 3.0 port.

[Q] Stuck in bootloop

I am running the Cyanogenmod 11 Nightly from the 11th, and also running crpalmers kernel 5.4.2. I had ART turned on, and was running Gravitybox Xposed Modules. While I was using the phone, while on the charger, it randomly rebooted, and showed the splash screen. The phone was just about dead when it was being used on the charger. While on the charger, the phone repeatedly shows the splash screen, followed by a black screen, and then a vibration like it had just been powered on, and shows the splash screen. This cycles while plugged into the computer. When first plugged into the computer, the computer (Windows 7) makes noises like it is connected and then removed. The phone is not recognized in fastboot or adb. I was able to access the bootloader menu by holding the power and volume down keys. Usually I can not navigate through it by using the volume keys, and it reverts back to the bootloop within 30 seconds. I don't know what is causing this problem, so I tried to give as much info as possible. Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Hope someone can get you sorted out. Never experienced that particular issue.

When I access the bootloader I am unable to select anything before the phone returns to the bootloop. I can't get to recovery or factory reset. I also believe that running an RUU would be unsuccessful because the phone is in neither ADB and Fastboot mode.

I was able to stop the bootloop somehow. Must have been a combination of attempting to charge it all day and the constant attempts to reboot into recovery. Now I'm in recovery, and there is no partitions. I am unable to factory reset or format data of any kind. I had pushed a ROM to the device in the recovery. I was unable to flash this rom, or the stock splash screen.
