So I soft-bricked my tablet trying to downgrade the hboot to 1.0...03. It is not recognized as an adb device. All drivers are correctly installed, Everything is in line, but I still cannot get it to do anything. Hboot says relocked with a security warning, and even trying to run the RUU through a .zip file is not working. I'm hopelessly lost... Battery is charged up fine too. Help me, please.
Shameful self bump...
Where are you trying to use adb meaning what state is your flyer? If in hboot then adb would not recognize it, go into fastboot and use fastboot commands

That's the thing. Adb does not see it.

Can you access the bootloader?
P.S. ADB commands work only when the OS is booted up, otherwise - you need Fastboot commands
Yes. But fastboot commands weren't working either.

Just a reminder: to use fastboot, you must select "FASTBOOT" option in the bootloader, and you'll see "FASTBOOT USB" in the bootloader.
Try to redownload adb/fastboot utilities
I'll try.. but I've done this already.

Hi all,
I am trying to write software that runs on the PC, and uses adb/fastboot commands to the devices.
I know that there are manuall methods to get into the fastboot mode, but I am looking for a way to do that automaticlly from software, very similar has the RUU of HTC does.
Do you have any idea how they do it?
thanks

Adb reboot bootloader
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA Premium App
Thanks for the quick reply,
I have tried "adb reboot fastboot" but I get the message "error:closed".
I am not working on a rooted phone.
My objective is to write an automatic executable from PC, like RUU,
that will open root and/or flash, push new system image.
new phones on HTC and Samsung have unlocked boot loaders which allow to flash and update ROM or images.
But in order to do that the user has to get manually to fastboot.
Is there any other method to get into fastboot in a non-rooted phones?
thanks

(i got here with the same problem and this worked for me so i just wanna update this old thread)
( i admit i am a noob at this stuff) I bought this rezound from a guy, and i came home and downloaded the Rezound All-In-One kit, i installed the htc drivers registered at htcdev. I tried to get token ID.. didnt work, and i tried to do the ICS leak and followed the instructions exactly... didnt work.. well i looked at my phone while in bootloader and it said unlocked, i tried running the All-in-one kit "Relock Bootloader" command and it still doesnt work. in command prompt it says ( Rezound_All-In-One_Kit_v2.0\data>fastboot oem lock
< waiting for device >
and thats it.. doesnt do anything else.. can someone please help me re-lock this phone.
First, try doing the above again, only uninstall/disable HTC sync this time. Report back if it doesn't work. Also, why do you wish to relock?

Is your phone in HBOOT when you issue the command? If not, it should be. Fastboot commands only work in HBOOT.

Yeah you're right MrSmith. I looked at the .bat related to re-locking in the A-I-O toolkit and it doesn't invoke "adb reboot bootloader" command before attempting "fasboot oem lock".
I ran into this problem as well. Make sure usb debugging is on. Should work like a charm.

Try rebooting into HBOOT then unplugging the phone and plugging it back in. Sometimes the device manager(on your PC) doesn't pickup the change in modes. The AIO could just be firing off commands instead of waiting for the phone to be ready as well. Try doing it manually.
unlocked the bootloader i believe and now when i use the one click root "zergrushtemproot" i get some error of some sort.

What is your recovery??
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
Since your bootloader is unlocked all you need to do for rooting is install a Recovery (best done via fastboot) and then just flash in a Superuser package such as this: http://androidsu.com/superuser/
It's how I've rooted an HTC Amaze and a Rezound
if u haven't already get hansoons all in one tool kit for the amaze, to be sure your bootloader is unlocked when you boot into it at the top in red it will say "unlocked". Then follow the instructions above being flash recovery, then flash the zip after booting into the recovery you flash. I prefer 4ext.
I know but when i try and put a recovery while its in fastboot nothing happens at all..the CMD comes up and nothing happens..I attached photo
its as if the laptop doesnt notice the phone is connected
Sounds like you haven't installed the drivers to your laptop. follow hasoon2000's instructions 1-5 in the first window then you can use his tool to root your Amaze.
I do have the drivers installed.i just double checked too

Did u rename the amaze tool kit folder. If so, please make sure that the folder name does not have any space between the words.. i.e, instead of 'Amaze Toolkit' use 'Amaze_Toolkit'. The space in the folder name would break the execution of the script.
I already unlocked my phone but S-ON is still active. I looked into the dirtyraccun method but it mentions to not flash a custom recovery. I already have TRWM and Viper Rom installed. What would be the best method for getting S-Off? I have the latest firmware.

Make sure you have the latest HTC driver installed. Use a USB 2.0 port, make sure that HTC Sync is not installed on your computer, and that your computer antivirus is off.
You can get the latest driver in the link below. Use the HTC driver from post #2.

Also, it may take a few attempts before Moonshine is successful. On the phone I recently Moonshined, it took a few tries before it succeeded, and I had everything set up correctly.

I've been running into the same issues! It keeps getting stuck on the second step! I've been following all your suggestions you posted in my other thread as well. At least it got me to the second step in Moonshine.
All HTC drivers were removed and the new ones were reinstalled. Computer and phone rebooted, USB 2.0 port, etc... I even went to another PC and ran into the same problems. I'll try it some more since you said it took a few tries.
Edit: Now it won't establish a connection to complete the first step in fastboot even though the PC keeps making sounds when fastboot USB gets turned on

You have to use a live CD with Dirty Racun if you are running Windows. To answer your second question, no, you can't use terminal emulator on your phone, either. Please be careful with what you're doing, otherwise you risk having an expensive paperweight in your hand. Personally I would have gone the Moonshine route It's Windows friendly and you don't have to fool with any commands, other then checking device connection with ADB & fastboot.

Yeah I know. I'm being really careful with everything - reading up before I do ANYTHING. I've done this to several phones before, but never had this much trouble...
Do you know if it's possible to still use Moonshine at this point? I've gone through every single step for DirtyRacun except for #14 which is to run RabiesShot. I have the RUU for 3.15 HBOOT 2.09 installed and running fine right now. If I can use Moonshine (and actually get it to connect to the device now), I would rather do that.

Make sure you're doing a full system wipe in recovery prior to flashing the ROM. You also might want to try opening a command prompt in your ADB tools folder while in the bootloader and type the command "fastboot erase cache" (minus quotation marks) and hit enter. Make sure you're connected via fastboot USB first.

Hello all, I've just recently recovered my DNA back to stock from a botched ROM install on the 3.06 software. Prior to running the RUU, I used Rumrunner to unlock my bootloader to put CWM on as my recovery. Then I had to re-lock it to run the RUU. Now I'm stuck at re-unlocking it. The HTCdev site is giving me a MID not allowed error and I'm thinking it has something to do with the fact that I used Rumrunner? Call me stupid, the DNA is still relatively new to me. Thank you!!
You shouldn't need to relock it to RUU. The RUU will overwrite your recovery with stock but the bootloader should remain unlocked (and s-off if you did that as well). At this point you should be able to just run rumrunner again to unlock the bootloader and then you can flash a custom recovery and go from there.

Tried doing Rumrunner again, Getting this error, "ERROR: run rumrunner again and READ (no adb connection to device. Debugging on?
Drivers?)" I've uninstalled the drivers via device manager, let windows 7 reinstall them and installed/uninstalled HTCsync with no luck.
Edit: Nevermind, tried a different cable. Hate it when that happens.
Edit 2: Rumrunner must have failed, device still relocked.

ADB Devices is a command issued from the command prompt. It should return the S/N of the device connected. If there is no response the drivers are not installed on the PC. If you are using Win 8 or 8.1 you will have issues

I have heard if you flash a new hboot the relocked text will go away, but I haven't had this issue myself so I can't personally confirm it. I do recommend updating your hboot and radio, though, for other reasons like better radio signal.

Updating the hboot and radio seems a little daunting. Definitely something I want to look in to once I can figure out how to get a ROM on this without calling a mulligan and starting from scratch again.

Adb is universal to all android devices, I highly recommend getting used to it if you plan on rooting future devices, the only thing native to HTC is the S-OFF portion of eMMC

Are you S-OFF? If so issue this command in fastboot:
fastboot oem writecid 22222222
Go to htcdev.com and then it will allow you to unlock the bootloader also make sure you have 8 2's in the command.
