unlocking is easy now with the new method, as long as htc's website is working.
then just install a recovery via fastboot and flash a rom. Id recommend viperdna

Im having issues with the new method. I feel like I have followed every bit of instructions yet my computer can seem to either recognize my device or does not find "fastboot" as internal or external storage.
It seems so easy too...

Been meaning to ask this now but when it comes to downloading the new method APK file and hasoons toolkit v2.1 for the dna do I have to install them both through my phone or do I download them on to my computer and transfer the files through there.
Sorry if I ask a lot. I have just been reading so much and every time I thought I figured it out it shows the same message.

Are you using a windows vista comp or apple? Originally I just installed the apk, ran it, rebooted my phone (manually, ive seen a video where the phone rebooted itself and he manually booted it into bootloader), ran cmd "fastboot oem readcid" and nothing... it almost makes me want to return the phone.

Hit the power button on fastbook
Open up CMD script and type "fastboot oem readcid"

'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable programs or batch file.

That's because you're doing it out of a regular ol' command prompt.
There's two things you an do to alleviate that problem.
1) Follow this:
Right click on the My Computer icon and select the properties tab.
Select Advanced and click the Environment Variables button.
In the new dialog box double-click on Path (located under System Variables) and type in the full path location to the tools directory.
So essentially if your directory for ADB and fastboot are under C:\<SDK FOLDER NAME>\tools or C:\<SDK FOLDER NAME>\platform-tools, add those to the Path.
2) Go to the directory where ADB/Fastboot, hold SHIFT and then right click. It'll give you the option to open up a command prompt from that directory with should allow you to run those specific commands.
Also, getting back to the Paths. Make sure when you go to add a new path that you put a ; IMMEDIATELY after the very last one. Then absolutely no spaces right after that ;. So.... example coming up..
Let's say a path was C:\banana\peel, and you want to add your ADB folder. So it'll be typed like so, C:\banana\peel;C:\<SDK FOLDER>\tools and then you repeat the same exact thing for the next folder.
I really hope this helps!

Following the first method (thanks alot for the help too man, I appreciate it).
Ive found the PATH section you told me about, but I dont understand what you mean by "the full path location to the tools directory".
2) Where is the ADB/Fastboot directory?
New member here as well and was my first rooting and not as hard or challenging as you might think unless things go wrong.

Its okay. I was confused on this too because i ran the fastboot and it said it didn't recognize it. So i realized that fastbook has to be a program that i have to install. Eventually i figured out it was from the android sdk, but all the guides assume you have android sdk installed. They might want to consider adding something like "make sure you have android sdk installed and your Path set" in their guides. I know that would have saved me some trouble haha. ^_^
Yea that would have saved me some sleep haha I still can't get it to work though when I do CID exploit command prompt says no recognized ADB devices I think it might be cause I can't install HTC drivers (I hope cause I'm getting frustrated) haha will try again in next couple days

Ultimate Noob Rooter
I have built this following the rooting techniques from the following places:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=754020

By using this method, you agree that you take full responsabily of any actions or concequences
that might happen to you or your phone. Once again, I will not be responsible for anything.
STEPS
Make sure your phone is connected to your PC, if it asks to install drivers just click yes..
1) Download: http://www.fileserve.com/file/M6guyMH
2) Extract the .zip folder named "RootMEnow.zip" anywhere on your computer
3) Open cmd.exe and drag it from the *bottom right corner* to make cmd full screen. (Must be full screen!).
4) on cmd type: root.bat
5) read and follow what it says
6) you're done
----------------------
Some people might get errors saying "missing .dll"
Simply copy the .dll files and place them in this 2 places in your computer
C:\windows\system
C:\window\system32

I'm a total noob and this way of rooting my slide was easy and worked GREAT!!!! Thank you Xologist you ROCK!!
Thanks-
One thing you may want to add: users have to cd to the directory that they extract the RootmeNOW.zip in, e.g., if you extracted it into the documents folder, you'd have to open cmd, and type
cd C:\users\usernamehere\documents\rootmenow
and then the commands. Some SUPERnoobs don't know to cd to be able to run a batch file.

Normally that would be true.. but since I put CMD.exe in that folder, cmd starts at the path of the folder

xologist: I appreciate that you have been trying to consolidate information in the MT3GS forums lately and make things a bit more noob friendly, but this comment just blows my mind.
It is in no way like sending a text.txt document. Not sure how you can even make that leap .
Cmd.exe is a proprietary program written by MS and governed by the license under which you have acquired Windows. One of the chief points in that license is that you are not allowed to redistribute, in whole or in part, Windows. Cmd.exe is quite clearly a part of Windows and not allowed to be distributed.
On the other hand, if I were to create a file called Test.txt, I would presumably put some text in there. That is a file I would have created and is therefor mine to do with what I please, as I would be the creator of the work..
You really MUST remove cmd.exe from your download. Not trying to be difficult, just want the forums here to stay legal

There are two threads devoted to unrooting your phone. Please search.
The easiest away to make it "noob proof" would be to make a batch file (.bat) to cd to the directory and execute the commands for the user instead of including command prompt.

Doesn't work.
When cmd returns the # (pound sign), the .bat doesn't know what to keep doing.
Not only that, but if someone downloads it to their user folder, there MIGHT be a windows variable for the user directory similar to ~ in linux, but not sure. So you might not be able to do that. Even so, if someone downloaded it to the wrong location after only scanning directions, it would break the whole process and they'd come here whining "HERP FAIL DEV DIS BROKEN HERE HOW2ROOT DERPPPPPPPP".
It'd be all bad, is what I'm trying to say here, lol.

Guys, calm down.. everything has been fixed..
really didn't think it was possible to screw this up...
but i guess, where there's a will, there's a way.
tried going through instructions. kept getting a lot of errors from cmd, but the commands kept going.
booted back into white screen with writing, and nothing happened.
4. The device will show a progress bar (can take time), ABSOLUTELY DO NOT POWER DOWN WHILE IT'S STILL FLASHING!!!
that step does not happen, nor any of the ones after it. not correctly, anyway.

Hi, I was wanting to root my legend 2.2 froyo. I came across a simple guide:

open crackin.bat (your phone will reboot 5 times)

I opened it but it doesn't work! My phone doesn't reboot 5 times like what it was supposed to. Am I doing something wrong? Any helps appreciated. Tks!

error: more than one device and emulator

and the phone only reboots twice.
After that, temproot the device, typed
adb shell
error: more than one device and emulator
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
May I know what's the issue here? Sry new to this. Really appreciate any helps.
Maybe try unplugging all other usb-related stuff, mouse keyboard, etc.. so it can't confuse them as other devices?
ahhh, I had this issue when rooting, if you do a "adb devices" you might find you have 2 devices listed, in my case i had 1 "(my device serial) offline" and 2 "(my device serial) recovery"
you have to issue an adb command to kill the server, but I can't remember the command,
oh guess what the command is "adb kill-server" i think thats all you need?
Then it should work.
If not, then you might have to do a search for the exact problem your having, 100's if not 1000's have had simular problems one way or another, so your not alone and the solution should be out there, key word "search"
Ah! Tks for ur generous replies. I actually restarted my pc and then when I typed adb shell, it automaticallies kills the server by itself tks for ur help! Another thing is that when I make my goldcard using goldcard tool 0.07, everything was fine but when I checked my removable disk drive, it doesn't show anything except 3 folders (Android.secure, LOST.DIR and whatsapp) is it supposed to be like that?

Hi, I've read a lot of threads about this and have found no feasible answer to this (at least for me). My Atrix 4G running android 2.3.4 on Blue Chronic firmware "HomeBase Mega4 - Gingerbread 2.3.4" shows a blank field in the "My phone number" section. I know that using a Sony Ericsson or an old Samsung phone will allow me to edit this on my sim card, however I do not have access to either of these types of phones. Has anybody found a way to edit this on the Atrix itself, either by using SQLite editor or even using Root Explorer's text editor? I can do it easily if I can just find the fields that need to be edited. Please help.
Any possible solutions will be much appreciated.
Also does anybody know where I can find the .apk files after an apps been installed, do they get saved to a folder on the phone like a computer's "Temporary Internet Files" folder when you just click "run" in the dialog box?

Download AppMonster, select the app you want the apk for, select backup. Use Root Explorer to navigate to sdcard/appmonster2/[the app you want]/rev/you will find the apk here
Thanks Pirate.
Now I still need the My phone number info, hopefully someone has that info....
You can edit the phone number using CM7
hmm, I have blue chronic right now, maybe I'll try to install CM7 again, last time I tried my phone soft bricked itself.. well, I soft bricked it...
Edit: Thanks for the tip though, I'll try it again...
Update: For some reason I am unable to install CM7. No clue why, I'll do a little research and try again. In the mean time if anyone has any other possible solutions, they would be much appreciated.
Still having trouble with this, if anyone has any roms other than CM7 that they would recommend that would be nice.

You have to use the cd (change directory command) in your command prompt to get to where you fastboot program is so for example if its file path is c:/androidtools/fastboot.exe
you would have to open cmd and type
Code:
cd c:\androidtools\
and then you could run any fastboot commands from there
if you don't already have fastboot it's here

It's the same for me
I had that problem when I switched my carrier. I have not came across a ROM for it that allows SIM number change. If you dont have an issue installing this, use that to change your number, otherwise you might need to borrow someone's blackberry phone to do it, most of the BB's are known to be able to edit SIM numbers apparently.
I ended up digging out my old Acer Liquid E running CM7 based ROM which had the SIM number option and worked like a charm on my current SIM (it is the proper number now). But this option is no where to be found on the Atrix's CM7 ROMs

Okay, that would be great. I can get through basically all of the directions for facepalm, but when I do the final reboot the rich screen is unresponsive. I can't touch anything.....
Ok facepalm doesnt work for 3.16 so you will need to downgrade to 3.15 using DirtyRacun method. Go to unlimited.io for instructions. Basically you can't use windows for this, so you will need to make ubuntu livecd and use that to go through the process

Go to this website and download 32bit 12.04 LTS version
http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop
Depending on the version of the windows you are using, you can follow the instructions as to how to make the livecd
http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/burn-a-dvd-on-windows
From there on out, the instructions from the unlimited.io should help you. If not, try this thread which was helpful to me

Wow. This is outstanding. Hopefully this will help others as well. I have another question. When I was running cm 10.1 on my other LTE, (it had to be replaced,) I wouldn't get notifications from Facebook, Twitter, or other apps. Had that been fixed? I love cm, except for that.

Sorry can't help you with that since I don't use either of the apps. But I've used CM10.1 based roms like carbon and slimbean and they're top notch.

Everything is ready to go. Running ubuntu as we speak. I have all the files in one folder on my desktop, but when i open a command terminal using control, alt, and t it doesn't recognize the first command (chmod 755 RabiesShot adb fastboot)

If you're on the newest OTA you might want to take a look at this. Looks much less complicated than Dirty Racun, and it's Windows friendly

Make sure you extract files in a folder named DirtyRacun in a folder named Download
Launch terminal (click the ubuntu button, type "terminal" without quotes to find the program). Than type the following commands
cd Downloads
cd DirtyRacun
chmod 755 RabiesShot adb fastboot
After the last command, you should get the same prompt as before, i.e. /Downloads/DirtyRacun$. That is your signal that the command worked
Staying in the /Downloads/DirtyRacun directory in the terminal, type
sudo ./fastboot getvar mainver
It'll tell you the version of the software.
After that, follow the commands on unlimited.io
The key is to stay in the /Downloads/DirtyRacun directory in the terminal and just type the commands as said.
The only hiccup I had is during step 14 when, after typing
sudo ./RabiesShot
I had to manually reboot my phone to bootloader (fastboot)
So I downloaded the ruu while running ubuntu. Actually all files I downloaded were on my ubuntu desktop. I booted back to Windows to do something, then back to ubuntu. All my downloaded files were gone.... I can't find them anywhere...

Livecd doesn't save anything you do on your ubuntu. If you went out and back to windows, you'll have to start over
I suggest you take out enough time to get through this process from start to finish before going back to windows.
Okay. So the ruu is gone? No way to get it back? This is a major setback. I'll have to redownload the ruu tonight. But this is definitely a learning experience, and it's worth it to get s off

Yea, RUU takes a long time to download, which is a pain when using Ubuntu livecd. Good luck and I'll try to help as much as I can.
Okay. I have an exam tomorrow. I think I'll go to the town library to download the ruu quickly. Can I just copy the files into the download folder? Like download them in Windows, put them on a flash drive, and paste them to the ubuntu downloads folder?

That I am not sure of, but if ubuntu recognizes the usb, than you should be able to transfer it to the Download/DirtyRacun folder from your flash drive.
