Trying to re-lock my Rezound using fastboot. When I dbl click fastboot on PC, a black cmd window briefly flashes then disappears. help?
fastboot is a command line app. Open a command window and type "fastboot oem lock"
that's what i tried first, then got a "waiting for device" message. I figured i didn't have my phone set right? here was my process...
1. rebooted phone to hboot
2. connected to computer
3. opened command window
4. cd to the correct directory
5. typed the "fastboot oem lock" command
6. received "waiting for device" message
???

Make sure you go into fastboot once you're in the HBoot menu or it won't be able to communicate with the device
Make sure you have HTC Sync or some other Rezound-compatible drivers installed. It needs that for fastboot and adb to communicate with your phone.

Same thing happened to me. Make sure when you plug in the usb cable, the phone connects as a disk drive, not charge only.
Are you trying to re lock or go S-on? I thought that flashing the command fastboot OEM lock would put S-on rather than relock.

ended up i needed both bits of advice.
I hadn't reinstalled htc sync files since a pc reformat a month ago, and i needed to enter fastboot once in hboot.
thanks guys

no.
fastboot oem lock is changing hboot to relocked
s-on command is something like fastboot write secureflag3 or something- look it up don't use what i just posted. if you do go s-on make sure you just ran a RUU

"Fastboot OEM lock" is to lock the bootloader.
"Fastboot OEM writesecureflag3" is to go back to s-on

1. Reboot to fastboot.
This can be done in 3 ways:
A. from the power menu (assuming the rom has it
B. Shut down completely. Battery pull to make sure. Then hold press amd hold Vol Down, then press and hold Power and keep holding down both.
C. Use the command:
adb reboot bootloader
2. Use fastboot to relock bootloader.

when i reboot to recovery, it reboots to android stock, not aman ra, hence, no root?

Looks like you may be S-off. Try downloading a stock GB Ruu, renaming to ph98img and put it on the root of your sd card. Reboot and hboot should install it. It will take a while and a reboot once before finishing.

You should be able to do a fastboot push.
What would work better would be to fastboot flash Amon-Ra, then you can mount the SD as mass storage.

I'm not big on ADB or Fastboot so I can't tell you how using those tools. However, when I needed to recover after several failed s-off attempts, I used this all in one tool and just selected Flash AmonRa recovery.
Then I would boot into recovery, AmonRa has an option to toggle USB to SD card, so then you could copy whatever from your computer to the SD card.

You can also do the PH98IMG.zip thing this way:
1) Put PH98IMG.zip in fastboot folder
2) fastboot oem rebootRUU
3) fastboot flash zip PH98IMG.zip
4) Wait a long time, when the prompt returns control to you it is done
5) fastboot reboot
6) Let it fire up and all that jazz
7) Then do "fastboot writesecureflag 3" and you will be 100% stock

Okay I downloaded a stock signed RUU renamed it and put it on the root of my sdcard, when I rebooted the phone the phone recognized and I applied the update. It booted up perfectly and the phone is back on stock GB, I dont see where to writesecureflag though, did I have to do that before I let the phone boot all the way into the OS for the first time? Under the fastboot menu I see no option to writesecureflag, do I need to reflash the stock RUU and start again?

There are 4 ways to do it:
Unplug the usb and plug it back again.
Go to the Settings -> Applications -> Development of your device and uncheck the USB debugging mode and then check it again back!
Restart the adb on your PC. adb kill-server and then adb start-server
Restart your device and try again.

You will need to be in fastboot. Pull the battery, then reboot holding volume down.
*Note: make sure there is no PH98IMG.zip on your SD card
Once in hboot, select fastboot. Then connect to your PC.
In your command prompt/adb window, type 'fastboot devices' to make sure your PC reads the phone.
Then type 'fastboot oem writesecureflag 3' and you'll be S-On.

If you are s-on, you have to flash the kernel separately. I'm not familiar with the MIUI rom, but go back and read the installation instructions but it certainly sounds like that is your problem.

yes you need a pc. have fastboot as well as adb installed and working. if you do not have fastboot downloaded and installed, it will NOT work. if you dont have it just google it and it shouldnt be hard to find. Also, you must have the correct drivers installed for the rezound
1. Open the rom.zip file (that you download) and extract the boot.img file to the same directory that fastboot is installed.
2. Put the rom.zip file on the root of your sd card.
the rest is done from the command line
3. In command prompt, run "adb devices" and confirm that your phone shows up. (if yes, proceed) (if not, go back and confirm you have the correct drivers installed)
4. run "adb reboot recovery", wipe, and flash your rom in recovery (self explanitory) if you need help with this part, im sorry.
5. after the rom finishes its flashing process, run "adb reboot bootloader"
6. when the bootloader comes up, run "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
7. after that flashes, you should be good to go. just run "fastboot reboot" and youre done
I was on 4.0.3 and I flashed the zip through AromRa recovery.
Now, when booting up, its stuck at the 4G screen.
The update was the OTA update released to update radios to Global. THIS
It didn't gave any error at all, it said "Reboot to complete installation or update". But when I clicked the reboot option, I saw a line saying something like "Can't write....." then the screen went off and it rebooted. This line was not there, or atleast not visible before I clicked the reboot option.
I am new to rezound and android, so please let me know what I can do. I wasn't able to get a nandroid backup before doing this, had no ext. SD card.
All I did before flashing the zip was flashing the custom recovery. Nothing else. No SU or anything else.
Can I RUU 4.0.3 to fix this problem?
Yes you need to ruu to get it back. I'm assuming your s on. You need to be s off in order to flash radios by themselves.

Yes, that's the latest global RUU.
You need to relock to run it:
fastboot oem lock
Put it on your sd card and it should do it's thing when you reboot. Run it a couple times and make sure it's finished so it will get all the system files. I believe it reboots you once it's done.
Then you can unlock again, flash recovery and root. If you have trouble rooting again search this forum for "super su" and you'll find a version you can flash to gain root.

I downloaded the same RUU from a different source and flashed it. But the same failed remote not allowed error.
1 question.
In adb, do I need to type the command fastboot flash zip PH98IMG.zip in the hboot (with otions fastboot, recovery, clear storage, simlock, image crc) or after selecting the fastboot option at the hboot screen?
I am asking because nothing happens when I put the command while on the hboot screen and I get the remote error when commanded from the fastboot screen.

You don't flash this in fastboot since it's a zip file.
EDIT: Looks like you can flash in fastboot as mentioned in the above post. Cool, I like that. I would flash it twice as I've read several times that you need to to make sure it gets all the system files.
If htat doesn't work for whatever reason, just put it on the sd card of your phone, detach your phone from your pc and reboot. hboot should find it (it looks for the PH98IMG.zip file) and flash it. Flash it twice to be sure it gets all the system files.
When it's done and you're rebooted use a file explorer and delete the PH98IMG file so it doesn't flash again on the next reboot.
Ok So....
I was S-On cause i have 64bit Win7. I was going to return LTE for Upgrade to ONE.

Am i just SOL and can no longer access recovery?
Will Dirty Racoon help me get recovery back?. Im just now getting familiar to fastboot. Linux is a bit intimidating.

Put the phone back n bootloader like the 1st pic.
Then select Fastboot
Then connect phone to Pc
Then the Bootloader should show Fastboot USB.
Now open up the folder on your Pc that has Fastboot then open a command Window and type fastboot flash recovery what ever the recovery image name is.

Is there anyway to fix it without going into an at&t store?

There are Tutorials in the HTC One X+ General forum, where everything you need to know is written down, so i won't try to explain it all in here...
These should not be that hard to find and after reading you should know how to get your device working again.

everytime I try, the command prompt says either "device not found" or "could not connect"

Try booting in fastboot mode and see - I guess it will connect,
Although I am not an expert, but I think USB Debugging comes into play after ROM is booted...
Also, as per your signature, your kernel is:
Kernel: hXORe v3.4

Are you sure you have the correct kernel - just for a check install the kernel that came with the ROM. AFAIK the ATT kernel is experimental...

sorry for asking, but how do I boot from here?
whatever I do just brings me back to the fastboot usb screen with the message "relocked security warning" at the top.
I can't get to recovery mode or unlock it
EDIT: i'm on hboot 1.40 so apparently there is no ruu available at the moment

No as of now there is no RUU available at the moment.
If you just check a thread I have started I had the same problem. Here is what I did:
While on Fastboot - used hasoon's tool kit to re unlock the boot loader. It failed a few times but then it ultimately succeeded. You need to be on either hboot or fastboot to unlock the bootloader not in recovery....
BTW have you actually tried the toolkit?
Hope you have the unlock_code.bin in root of the toolkit...

I've been using the toolkit, so I did as you recommended.
However, the command prompt says "Error: cannot load C:/phone" whenever I try to unlock the bootloader

I am assuming you have installed the hTC drivers. Using hTC Sync or other method?
Is it showing in device manager?
What is your OS?
If it is showing as unknown device then you may try Koush's universal ADB driver.
Another thing does "fastboot devices" shows you anything?
It is really weird, because I did these steps and it just worked for me....

thanks for your concern.
I'll look into all of those and get back to you tomorrow about my results
Don't use toolkits they cause more issues than they solve.... Connect your device to your PC, open a command prompt, navigate to your fastboot folder and type in "fastboot devices" If it gives you back your devices S/N, your good to go. If not reinstall HTC Sync manager.... I don't see why you can't enable usb debugging on a bootloader locked device though....They have nothing to do with each other afaik....
