So I am trying to unlock the bootloader through htc dev. I've downloaded the android sdk. When I try to download htc sync manager it gets close to finishing and then gives me an Error 1935 and quits the installation.
I can get into fastboot mode from restarting the phone while holding volume down.
Then I put adb and fastboot and adbwinAPI.dll in a folder on the C drive names android.
When I enter the fastboot oem get_identifier_token command in I just get waiting for device.
Any help?
Alright so restarted my pc and got htc sync to download. That seemed to be the whole problem with my phone not being recognized.
Now I am trying to use Hansoons toolkit to erase cache then install twrp. But when I try to use the erase cache command it just brings up a cmd window but does nothing to the phone.

I am about to root my brothers evo but he has updated and all that stuff. How would i root his phone? Can I follow the root method from Zedomax?
Go to HTC dev and follow the steps to unlock. Once unlocked flash twrp recovery either thru fasboot or goomanager. After that the rooted Rom of your choice
Don't forget about fastboot flashing the boot IMG if needed

Type erase cache
Reboot phone and you will have unlock and recovery, all thats missing is to restart phone in bootloader and select recovery to flash a rom. Both meanrom and viper have built in kernel installers, should the phone get stuck booting just extract the boot.img from the rom and put it in adb, with phone in fastboot type fastboot flash boot boot.img

I've had this phone for about a good 4 months now, was getting bored so i decide to unlock the bootloader, root, and install a new rom. Then i heard youwer able to activate the HTC logo button to wake and sleep your device with using a different kernel. tbaldens kernel v3.6. I have TWRP recovery installed with trickdroid as my rom.After i ran threw all the procedures to flash in Aroma installer. My phone won't turn on, when i connect it to my computer it shows up as a MTP device. When I do get it to power on its stuck at the "quietly brilliant" screen. cant get into recovery to restore from back up. PLEASE HELP! SOLDIER DEPLOYED!!!!!!!! dont have the means of sending it in. Any suggestion. Mac is my primary means of rooting. windows 8 drivers are kinda funky:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
If you have access to a Windows 7 PC, then download the RUU for your device. Next, relock your bootloader (fastboot oem lock) Next step, if you have bootloader access to your device, then you can go into fastboot (make sure it says fastboot USB). Open a command prompt, and type in fastboot oem rebootRUU. You're in RUU mode, where you can run the RUU and reset everything back to stock.

can i do this from a mac? and i can't get into fastboot because it wont go past the htc logo screen. it is identified as a MTP device in windows
Ahhhh thankfully i was able to get into my bootloader and flash my recovery! but thanks for the reply bro
I'm having some issues with this device connecting to ADB and I need to flash a different HBOOT so I dont get the error message on boot up. Because of said issue I cant flash a newer HBOOT version to my device via ADB. Is there another way that you can flash other than ADB? I know on previous HTC devices you were able to flash it from the bootloader itself if I remember correctly. Any ideas? Thanks.
Place the hboot in a zip with the android-info.txt file, in your fastboot/adb directory on your computer.
Put the device in fastboot mode
(Volume down and power until menu appears, select fastboot using power button)
Connect the device to the computer
Enter the following commands from terminal/command prompt in the fastboot directory, one at a time:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
(this puts the device in RUU mode)
Code:
fastboot flash zip hboot.zip
(this flashes the hboot zip file)
Important: the flash process halts at around 75% to 90% on phone screen! This is normal and a safety precaution!
The last few percent is the reboot, which is NOT happening automatically, so you get a chance to check the console output before reboot to make sure it is safe to reboot!
The bar will only fill up to 100% once you type the following command:
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
(this reboots the device to bootloader)

Thank you for the response, maybe I wasn't clear enough. I cannot use ADB from my computer AT ALL with this device. It recognizes other devices and shows them when I do adb devices but on the DNA it shows as offline and commands do not work because of that.

This is what it shows in ADB:
List of devices attached
FA34GSXXXXXX offline (shows full device but was told by somebody in the past leave most of that info out.)
I know that its DNA related as ADB works just fine on my Gnex without issue.
Are you using Windows 8? There is no HTC drivers for windows 8 that will work. You must use a different windows version or dual boot with Linux.
If you are on a compatible version of windows, try reinstalling the drivers.

Hi everyone.
I apologize if this was already asked.
I own a Symphony H50. I am trying to install windows via change my software but it shows device too slow or protected by manufacturer.
So googled it and found that i need to unlock my boot loader.
So I installed adb,fastboot,drivers including bootloader interface driver. And booted into fastboot mode. And typed "fastboot oem get_unlock_data" and the command prompt shows 3 dots (...) And the cursor keeps flashing. And no confirmation message shows up on my phone.
It only shows "FASTBOOT mode".
Another thing i found out while installing adb drivers that it listed my phone manufacturer as HTC.
So is the problem with my phone?
And how do i fix it?
It may be a problem with driver, uninstall the previous one and install Koush universal adb driver from kaushikdatta.com
Use the link given below for a thorough tutorial to replace drivers.
http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/android-wont-connect-windows-adb-fix-it-three-steps/
Thanks for reply,
I'll try the drivers.
Though my adb drivers are working fine. My issue is with fastboot.
When i boot into fastboot mode it shows "FASTBOOT mode" on a black screen.
But i would try with the
That black screen with fastboot mode written at the bottom comes up on every phone when you boot into bootloader.
Please read the whole guide before proceeding.
You may skip the driver and adb installation part if u have already taken the measures I stated before.
Try this,
Download adb and Koush Universal adb driver and install them on ur pc, always install the driver first and don't install the drivers adb setup asks u to install.
Run command prompt as administrator.
Open the folder in c drive where adb is installed, u can use file explorer for this.
Press Shift+right click and select open command window here.
Enable USB debugging on your phone and connect it to the pc by a USB cord.
Enter command "adb devices" without quotation marks.
If it shows some device connected, only then proceed further.
Enter command " adb reboot bootloader"
Enter command " fastboot devices", if it shows some device to be connected, only then proceed further.
Enter command " fastboot oem unlock".
Ur phone may then ask for final confirmation on the phone screen, select yes.
When procedure completes, type "fastboot reboot" and ur phone will reboot.
U can now use Kingoroot or any other tool for rooting.
