Alright, As I'm new to the idea of using Command Prompt to unlock a phone, I really need some help: When I try to get the Token for the website to allow the Dev Unlock, It will not load any text in the command window.
I've done it before, But it will not load this time. (I removed the battery, entered fastboot USB, and entered the command line text)
It just says "Waiting for device"
Any idea on what's happening?
HBOOT: 1.58.0 if it is of any use

Windows Eight doesn't like my Driver download
It does say, However, My phone is unlocked.
I just tried to install a ROM but it gave a status 7 error, Fixed that, and now I get a Status 6 Error...
I'm really lost, I'm kinda nervous LOL

So my friend is finally unlocking his hboot 1.5 phone and is having some trouble. He gets to the part where you type the commands in the command prompt and it is supposed to pull up a bunch of numbers. Unfortunately it just says "waiting for device" instead of spitting out the numbers. Anyone have any ideas what we are doing wrong?

So I got my replacement from Sprint after bricking my phone by downgrading from s-off..
Now I tried to brick this one and seems like it turned off before I disconected and now I can't boot it up, and the downgrade tool won't detect it, I get a dim blinking red light.
Also when I try to boot up the phone it boots into the bootloader and it says Locked and under it it says security warning, what do I have to do?
Help please :/
Do I just re-do it?
anyone?
Run the ruu.
Check the sticky on how to get back to stock

Yeah.
Or wait. Unlock your phone?
The reason it shows security warning is because you probably flashed something then locked your phone. thats what happens to me after locking my phone.
But now why would you try to downgrade after you bricked your phone. haha

Your right but you don't need to unlock it again. Just run the 2.17 ruu exe through the bootloader and when your phone is hooked to the computer check in your device manager menu ( if you have windows) to make sure you have your drivers. It should say My HTC or adb android.

Correct me if I'm wrong. But if he unlocks his phone it should be able to boot up and not show security warning. Also you need to run ruu while your phone is on fasboot USB if not your phone will just reboot

"1. Go to data menu; enter ##3282# on the dialpad.
2. Click on "Edit Mode" on the menu that appears.
3. Enter your MSL # and hit "OK"
4. Choose "Data Profile" from the listed options.
5. Press your menu button on the phone and select "Restore" from the menu that appears. Then hit "OK.
6. Phone should reboot. Once it's back up, wait for it to start hands-free activation. Once this is complete you should be good as new!"
If that doesn't work just call Sprint and tell them you are getting the Error 16 message and they will get you back going. Happened to me months ago after using revolutionary and the phone call took less than 5 minutes.
Edit: If you don't know your MSL number you can get a free app off the Play Store named MSL Reader that will find it for you.

Your right, if he unlocks it it will allow him back into his ROM. I was just saying it wasn't nessasary to have to unlock again. When I was unrooting my phone to work on the down grade all I did was lock the phone and run the straight stock ruu 2.17 through the fastboot from my PC and every thing cleared up. You just need the drivers installed minus HTC sync

Hi all,
Quick question, couldn't find an answer in search.
I have fallowed the instructions to the letter and when I get to the section where I input the request for a token, I get this message in the command prompt, "waiting for device".
I have the AT&T One X+.
Any ideas please, thanks.
If you need any info, please ask.

What exactly are you trying to do? Are you trying to unlock the bootloader?

I've had my Captivate and my SGS II rooted and installed custom roms. But it's different now. I need help unlocking the bootloader.
This is what I see.
Thanks
Adb debugging turned on?
Try another usb port and/or another usb cable.

To unlock my bootloader I use a toolkit from hassoon. Switch usb ports make sure usb debug is enabled and then use the toolkit where you can choose the unlock.bin file. It's pretty easy using the toolkit.

I tried the kit from Hassoon, but when I tried to download driver files, it said this doesn't work with windows 8.
I tried other cords and ports and get the same message.
Kind of lost here.
This might be worth a shot but have you tried changing the compatibility to Windows 7 anything other than Windows 8

You have a space in the directory path. Copy the folder to the C drive and it'll work.

It just keeps saying device not found. It started successfully but it says not found. Must be a bad cord or something. Kept getting that message in the HTC software too. I am on windows 8, is that a problem??? I have XP on my desk top.
Thanks so much for the replies.
Tried it on my desktop which has windows 7 and XP. used 7 and got the devise not found error.
Do I need mock locations or any other settings?
Is the cord that important? I have tried several diff cords. And ports.
Lost! :crying:
That doesn't have anything to do with it just make sure usb debug is enabled.
Have you tried entering fastboot manually? What I usually do is I use the toolkit, put my phone in fastboot, plug in the phone and it will change to fastboot usb. Run the unlock bootloader option on the toolkit. Select your unlock.bin file. The first command prompt will say no device or waiting for device. I usually close out the command window after you close the prompt another one will pop up and will send the bin file to the phone. And will see on the phone to unlock the bootloader.
Also make sure you do have the correct usb drivers installed.

Well, nothing is working. HTC sync wont recognize my phone either.
Does anyone have a link for the drivers needed on a windows 8 computer???? The drivers on the post for the all in one tool kit will not work on my system. I don't know if I have the correct drivers or I don't.
Uninstall HTC Sync, then take a moment to read and follow this instruction page, it should work after.
Hi
My original concern is too get rid of the android software originally put on my htc wildfire by my phone operator. Important precision: I have a mac computer.
For this i figured out i had to unroot the phone or unlock the bootloader (am I right? My overall android level is not good).
So I tried unrevoked, which said that my "hardware is too new". Then I tried to unlock my bootloader following the instructions on htcdev (and other similar forum topics) but I got an error message "Command error" when I type "fastboot oem unlock" or "fastboot oem get_identifier_token", and nothing happens.
I then noticed that htc says I might have to update my hboot (I currently have 1.02.0002), but I have no idea how.
I tried any other stuff found on forums such as factory reset (*sigh*), changing usb cable, changing usb port, trying from another computer (still a mac), etc...
I saw threads such as "use a gold card", but it seems complicated and I don't have a pc anyway.
Well, I've been wandering in the web for days, I'd be happy if someone had an idea!
Also I don't know if this is the right forum, but I'm not allowed to post elsewhere because I'm a new member.
I would reccommend that you borrow a Windows machine as it is much easier to do on. By the way do you have fastboot installed on your Mac.

Ok thanks. Yes I have fastboot. So there's no easy way out on a mac.
Do you confirm i have to root or unlock hboot?
Well you can do it on a Mac and even I do everything on a Mac but if you are new to the subject it is better to use windows.

For some reason, my old HTC One would not be recognized in the toolkit's command prompt windows. I would send a command using the toolkit and every time, I get the "device offline" error. So after my old HTC One bricked itself and wouldn't power on anymore, I had T-Mobile replace it with a new one. So I get this new replacement in the mail and the first thing I try to do is use Hasoon2000's toolkit to unlock and root it. No luck with it either, I get the same "device offline" error. What am I doing wrong?
It's strange though because whenever I open up a command prompt window by itself, and run the adb devices command, it gived me back the ID number for my One. But it only shows offline when the toolkit runs a command in command prompt!
I could really use all of your help! I need to restore everything with titanium already!
Thanks!

Where you able to fix this problem? I have the same problem too if you fixed yours how did you slove this problem?
I noticed this too, I put it in boot loader manually. And with every command ran on the tool out have me that message, but upon closing out the pop up screen, I'll get another where the command went through. Got my device back from repair yesterday and managed to s off again.

Well I just used the kit to unlock boatloader, and flash recovery. After doing so I restored the Rom I was on and s-off'd the device using firewater. Device shows online now so if I was using the tool, booting manually into boatloader shouldn't be required but yes to the first question
