To start. What software version is your phone on? Is it 2.3.4 or 2.3.5? Also need to know what root and unlock methods (giving us the name of the thread will be sufficient) you are using and where you got the files. You will need to check these as it could mean the difference between success and a not so pleasant failure.
If there is a check mark next to USB Debugging in -Settings > Applications > Development- then your phone is in debugging mode. You will not see any pop-ups or notifications on your computer saying "Hey! You're in debugging mode".
If this helps, most of the root and unlock guides are written in such a way that it requires no thought on the part of the user. Except for maybe misnaming a folder like I did for the Root-Unlock-Relock pack, you simply follow most guides word for word. All you need watch out for is what Moto software are you on, 2.3.4 or 2.3.5.
*The reason why I asked if you were on G+ in your other thread was because live chat is a far faster why to walk someone through rooting and unlocking than posting in a forum.

I don't know about anybody else but I have never had a debugging icon in the status bar on my Photon or the Atrix.
Photon does not have CDMA unlock codes or GSM unlock codes. GSM unlock requires that your Photon be unlocked and flashing the KDDI radio firmware.
GSM unlock=No CDMA service
2.3.5
Cannot downgrade to 2.3.4
Can be rooted via Photon Torpedo
Cannot be unlocked. This means no custom kernels, no CM9/10, no GSM unlock, most custom ROM cannot be used

Need help trying to root a Motorola Titanium (i1q / i1x) Nextel phone.
With no section on XDA for this device, I figured this would be the best place to find help.
Device details:
OS: Eclair 2.1-update1
Kernel: 2.6.29 [email protected] #1
Build number: RCD.00.02
I have tried Z4root, Universal Androot, and trying to push su binary via adb ... nothing works.
Need more options...
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Bump......
rooted
BUMP, I just made it, i get root on my Motorola Titanium i1x with Unlockroot.
at first try, it fail, but then i try one more time i just change the debugging mode to modem and then i go back to debugging mode and success really quick , yaahy.
i install titanium backup and freeze some nextel crapware. So Happy :3
WOuld you care to point us to a tutorial or something? I have a titanium too and can't root it yet? thanks in advance.
you have to download, unlock root from unlockroot(dot)com, for me at first try fail, but the trick is, first you connect your motorola titanium on usb mode, or other than debbuging mode, when you click root button of the unlockroot, it going to say wating for device, then you change from usb mode or whatever u use, to debbugging mode, and really fast will be rooted.
ok again, because my english suck a little.
1. you download unlockroot
2. connect your device, on modem mode or memory card mode (etc any other no debugging mode)
3. Click root on the program
4. change the connect mode on your device to debuging mode
5. Enjoy!!
YOU NEED TO HAVE MOTOROLA DRIVERS.
i hope it helps.

Unlock the Motorola Titanium
Were you able to unlock the simlock as well? I need to remove the simlock from my Motorola Titanium. Could you please help?
Thanks.
What is removing a sim lock going to do? You can already use Nextel handsets on boost right out of the box, and there are no others that support iden anyway. Besides iden in general dies in just a couple months, the phone will be a paperweight.

I unlocked my i1 with http://iden-unlocker.com
The manual is way too complicated, but in the real i just had to enable USB Modem in connection menu and hit unlock. After some strings on the software my phone was unlocked.

I beg to differ...I have 3 of these in front of me right now, and iDEN works great with it..and i need to either root or clear the lock codes so my wife can use the phone with her sim.
There's a company with 26,000 employees that use iDEN and they are going to continue using it...so don't assume just because Sprint shut down their iDEN that all iDEN is dead and gone. Far from it. There's a Motorola XT626 that's pretty nice...I'd use it...4.3" qHD and dual SIM.
Dear All,
I am a newbie on this so please bear with me. I did take the time out to read up on some of the basics before I posted this but I am not familiar with most of the acronyms.
I bought a HTC One X+ with no power button. The seller claimed he bought the phone as is and didnt know if the phone worked or not.
When I received it, I placed a power button and put it on charge. Within minutes the phone loaded with the 3 logo (UK) but to the bootloader screen. I tried all the various options from Hboot, Restart, Restart with Bootloader and Power Down. When I choose HBoot, I get the following error:
sd checking....
Failed to open USB master mode
(preload) Failed to open USB master mode
loading image....
Failed to open USB master mode
Plug off device.
When I try to power down, it simply restarts. When I choose Recovery, nothing works. I just keep coming back to the bootloader screen no matter what I do.
I read the following thread but I didnt understand some of it, eg RUU. I assume this is the type of ROM that is flashed to the phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1940194
I have tried connecting phone to the laptop to see if I can see the drive in windows explorer. Laptop recognises the HTC phone in System Device (loaded HTC Sync Manager from HTC website) but it wont recognise the phone's drive. When I try to use the CMD box, i get same issue. It cannot find the phone's storage, therefore I cannot write anything to the phone.
It seems like whoever tried to flash this phone which is on the 3 network made a hash of it, as from reading the above thread, it looks like 3 networked HTC One X cannot be unlocked.
Therefore is it possible to get this phone back to working mode as it was, given the issues I am having.
Any help will be mightily appreciated! :good:
Thanks

I have tried it with cable in early and late. It is the same issue
I just realised it is NOT on the 3 network, that is my HTC One X! Cant believe I got that mixed up!
Actually I dont know what network this is on as I cant get out of bootloader!
I have been informed by a friend that the phone needs to be s-off before it can be flashed. How can I do this?
this device DOES NOT need s-off so your friend is talking out of his ass,
the guide to flash ruu's is in the general section
also there is NO WAY to s-off the X+

I keep getting signature errors everytime I try a different UK network RUU! I dont even know what this signature error means!
Also how do I know which RUU to use as there are so many different types. Any help will be gladly appreciated
I have followed Hasoon's directions using his utility tool. I have managed to unlock the phone but cant get beyond that.
Every single viable HTC One X+ RUU I use simply doesnt work. I cant access the USB drive to my phone (prob because the person previously never ticked USB Debugging when he/she attempted to root the phone) so cannot transfer the RUU files to my phone.
I have tried to run the original RUU for this phone but it keeps giving me an error. I have no idea what to do next. I have read all the posts on the General Forum for instructions on ADB, rooting, unlocking, RUUs etc.
I would truly be thankful if I can get some assistance here please.

where in the UK are you? if you are close to me i can sort it out for you. Also you need to relock the bootloader put the device into bootloader > fastboot usb and THEN run the correct RUU

I am in Manchester. I have relocked the bootloader but now the phone wont charge. I have seen a post here how to fix that, so I will try that.
I have done the above but I simply do not know what the correct RUU is. How do I even know which is right? I have tried around 10 so far and none have worked.
Fixed It!!!!
I cant believe it! I fixed it!!!!
I accidentally came up on a post here on this forum looking for something else and a member discussed the same problem as me. The reason why he was getting the signature error etc because he had the wrong recovery loaded.
I therefore loaded the latest TWRP version from here (link provided from General Settings) - http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/enrc2b
I didnt use Hasoon's recovery as TWRP is user friendly. I relocked the phone, loaded the correct RUU and it worked!
So to summarise this is how I fixed my phone
1. Downloaded Hasoon2000's toolkit from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2066390
2. Rooted the phone
3. Unlocked the phone
4. Flashed latest recovery file using his toolkit (Your Own Recovery)
5. Loaded the correct RUU - RUU_ENRC2B_U_JB_45_HTC_Europe_1.17.401.1_Radio_3.1204.168.32_release_299688_signed.exe from http://androidfiles.org/ruu/?dir=ENRC2B
NB to know which RUU to use, go into bootloader and you will see the RUU details at the top part of the screen - in my case it was Radio_3.1204.168.32. Also when I tried to run any RUU.exe file it told me the version I had was 1.17.401.1. I searched for it on the android files and found the above RUU to match my RUU. This I guess is the stock RUU.
As a newbie, it can be very tough trying to understand this, but this forum is just awesome!! I am an accountant by profession, and I cant believe I figured how to fix an HTC One X+ by going through this forum! The FAQ has it all - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2179337
Thanks to everyone who gave their advice here!
I am now going to try performance tweaks next as I am feeling confident

Hi people from the comunity of xda-developers, I have recently got a new HTC ONE from AT&T and my problem is that, I CANT Unlock the bootloader of my htc one. I have found threads about how people can unlock their bootloader but they are from the phones who where in hboot 1.44.000 ... Is there any way i can unlock the bootloader?. I went to HTCDEV.COM and i tried to unlock it, but when i go to command prompt and continue with the "fastboot oem etc"it gets stuck in waiting device and it doesnt do anything. I Have installed and uninstalled the drivers a couple of times and nothing... Im using Windows 8 and i dont know if there is a problem using it. BTW when i go to Device Manager and look for my phone i see that in portable devices it says android 1.0 with a triangle i tried to update the drivers but got no luck either.
If any of you people can help me i would be very happy... ohh and Thanks in Advance

Download HTC sync manager, install it.
Go to control panel, uninstall programs and remove HTC sync manager but don't uninstall HTC drivers.
connect device to the computer and let the PC install drivers. Once done remove HTC from PC, place HTC on boot loader mode and select fastboot and connect device to computer, let the computer install android 1.0
Once installed on command prompt go to where you have the SDK and type fastboot devices, if the HTC one shows up you are good to go

my rumrunner folder was still in my downloads folder no where near my adb files and everything worked ok for me. also my Max shows up as a media device also but adb/fastboot still working fine. did you try to reinstall your adb with the link I provided in the above post, its the only thing that helped me when I was having pretty much the same problem as you.
you may also need to unlocked dev tools in your settings... have you done that yet

Don't know if you guys ever got this issue solved or not. I'm having the same issue S-on, cannot get adb devices command to recognize my t6spr for the life of me. on Hboot 2.46, it will detect the USB device malfunction if I put the device in fastboot mode, but thats about it. Device manager shows Unknown USB (Device Descriptor Request Failed). Tried the KB update for devices that fail enumeration on Windows 8.1 for x64 but the update package said my system is not affected so that never installed. Tried the alternative miniadb pakage previously mentioned but didnt seem to have an affect installing fastboot, adb, and drivers, across the system universally. Just not having any luck apparently. I guess I could just sell the phone Tampered and Unlocked haha with no fingerprint scanner functionality, flash ViperRom or some other stock look alike ROM. Was just really hoping to go back completely stock. At one point it time I was trying different PCs to see if it was just a system issue for me. Occasionally it seemed like if I let it sit in Fastboot AC it would eventually get detected and flip over to Fastboot USB long enough for me to push a couple commands to the phone. I have the right RUU but it dosent do me any good if the computer cant see the phone haha. Now no computer seems to recognize it. It all seemed to happen after I tried to S-Off the device with Firewater's method. Idk if I bricked something because it never worked or changed a CID or some other ID to where the USB isnt recognizable, but all I can get this phone to do is take an electric current from the USB, lol thats about it. I thought I had it fixed enough to where I knew what to do if i absolutely needed to get fastboot to recognize the phone but now, nothing.
Just a curiousity question here....a bad usb cable can produce this also...read through posts didnt see anyone trying a new cable...
Ive been looking everywhere to find out if someone has answers, im trying too root my lg g2. I just installed the OTA 4.4.2 software version (VS98024a). It gets all the way too the part where i can apply update through the abd, but when i click that, i hear the windows noise telling me my device disconnected. I still tried to install it, but it would not send the information over to my phone. I used the ioroot25, but it still doesn't work. Can anyone help me out?

Caution: That is a guide for the At&t version of the G2. OP is trying to install VZW G2 software, so hoping he is using the VZW version of it.
So, you HAVE been able to update, or you have not? How are you trying to update if it is not working for you? You tried to use ioroot25 on 4.2.2 or 4.4.2? What was the error or where did it stop before failing? Have the correct drivers on the PC?
In general, the more details we have, the easier to help. Just saying "It didn't work" is not helpful for troubleshooting.
I have been able too update my phone with the OTA. So my phone is running the 4.4.2. I used ioroot 25, the rooting fails when the root.bat is supposed too send the files too my computer. When I hit the apply through adb, that's when the computer makes the sound that my phone was disconnected. My computer will send it, but phone doesn't receive it for some odd reason. I hope I gave enough information, my bad about last time.

You sure you have the drivers for adb mode installed properly? Do you have USB Debugging enabled? If you open CMD prompt and change directories to the ioroot25 folder that has the adb program in it and run:
adb devices
does anything returns?
Yes, I've followed all the directions and watched videos, and when i open cmd prompt, it does state that a device is connected. I just don't understand what I'm doing wrong. Like I said I've followed all directions exactly how they state, downloaded all the drivers.

Have you made sure that when accepting the RSA Key for adb / USB debugging that you selected always? If so, then you should try the manual method via adb as described farther down the OP here:
