Tried to Unlock bootloader - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I did all of the steps that i read and watched on youtube for the all in one toolkit by Hasoon2000... At the bootloader screen it says
*** Tampered ***
*** Unlocked ***
it will not let me do a flash recover, which I was going to use TWRP (Sprint Only)
any help would be useful, i have searched for the answer but im very new at this.
Thank you in advance.

When i go into recover the "teamwin" logo comes on, the it promps me to to a menu which seems as if it would work with touch screen... when it says install it will not allow enter any option its almost as if its frozen and the touch screen does not work.

After a lot of searching i think i figured out what it was you were trying to say to me. I did what you said using TWRP the picture shows what happened after i opened the cmd window and typed the command. TWRP freezes up when i go into recovery. Am i doing something wrong?

Replace nameofrecovery.img with the actual name of the file, more info here

You may have the wrong twrp image installed to your phone, I can think of a good reason why it freezes on you. So when in recovery you can not press any option? If this is the case I would look for a new copy of twrp specific to your device, check md5sum, then flash it with fastboot
fastboot erase recovery

Yes it gets stuck in recovery... i cannot use the touchscreen at all...
i downloaded the newest twrp copy... i downloaded md5sum and i have no idea how to use that even after looking it up and searching through youtube. i have the new ".img" file on hand... i just need to find out how to erase the old one in order to install the new one and see if it works

here is the CMD screen

this is what happens when i open "minimal adb and fastboot" and type in the commands you sent me... the top one that says failed, is when the phone is in the fastboot usb screen... when it says waiting for device... the phone is just turned on

Being you are s-on (can confirm if you write down all info on phone when in bootloader mode) you probably don't have permission to erase recovery but you should be able to just overwrite it, so just
fastboot flash recovery twrporwhatever.img
Also I believe there is a way to gain s-off with your phone, once you get all this down than I suggest doing that but first get the proper recovery
Oh and there are many ways to check md5sum (just Google for one if the one I linked you isn't working) this just makes sure you had a good download of a file, a good idea to do it but not need

have you atleast unlocked your bootloader is the first question...and if so easiest, do you have root access?... way i found to flash a recovery is like this:
have a fully charged battery
boot into your hboot screen and select fastboot
plug the phone into the computer with the data cable
once the phone is loaded open a terminal or ms-dos window
navigate to where you have the fastboot.exe command and make sure you have your new recovery as "recovery.img"
then type in fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
and then let it write it to your phone then unplug it and reboot into your new recovery

first you have to write your recovery to that partition and like if you download teamwin recovery rename it to recovery.img etc....then you can boot into the new recovery
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
(This will reboot you into boot loader)
Then to flash recovery
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name.img
(Change "name" to the name of your recovery. )
Then you should be good.

If you are trying to flash 4ext, you can install the app and run it (see my signature). No need for adb.

make sure Fast Boot is NOT selected in Settings/Power. Then turn the phone COMPLETELY OFF and boot to Hboot then fastboot and flash recovery again. Then power off and reboot to hboot. If it says *Tampered* at the top your all set, if it doesn't, then recovery didn't take. I had to flash recovery 6 or 8 times, but I think the deciding factor was when I turned fast boot off in Settings.
Ok. In order to flash a boot.img do we have to rename it to boot.img.zip ? I'm trying to completely understand how to flash the boot.img using HTC dumlock rather than having to use the computer all the time for fast boot.

Using your mac? I don't use my mac for my phone stuff so I can't help you there.
There's a PH98IMG of Amon Ra somewhere, but now that I think about it I don't know if you can use that type of file yet at this point, before having a custom recovery on the phone. Btw... newest Amon Ra is v3.16, unless there's a 3.17 now.
I am assuming that you already have the adb setup.
Download the recovery and rename it to well recovery then put the "recovery" file on the adb folder
Next open up terminal type "cd" then space bar and drag and drop the folder that you put the recovery file into the terminal then hit enter
Turn off fastboot on your phone and turn on usb debugging and type this into the terminal ./adb devices
If your device shows up then type this ./adb reboot bootloader
then type this ./fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
wait for it to flash then type ./fastboot reboot bootloader
Then go to the recovery then once you are in the custom recovery go down to developer options
Select Install su and superuser and wait for that to finish.
And boom your rooted and running
I have a mac also and thats what I did
If you find a way to S off on a mac let me know :laugh:

Nexus 7 Meltdown

Okay, so yesterday I was flashing from SlimBean to stock 4.3 on my Nexus 7. Okay, good no problem. After that I was using WugFresh's toolkit to update from 4.3-4.4 since my bootloader is unlocked and it wouldn't take the OTA. The cmd prompt said something akin to:
boot.sig not in archive
Recover.sig not in archive
And then it froze, for a bit before giving me the end message about the first reboot taking 5-10 minutes. OK, cool. I was still in fastboot mode, so I went ahead and volume upped to start. The Google image flashed, along with the unlock symbol, and in very tiny text at the top right says Booting Failed.... On the same screen off to the right is the arrow that says start, just like in bootloader. I'm freaking out because this is basically brand new, and I don't wanna NAFTA buy another.
Oh, and it's the 2012 Grouper/Nasaki WiFi only model.
Thanks in advance for any and all advice.

Just boot back to bootloader and flash a custom recovery through fastboot
Then boot back to this recovery and flash ROM of choice
If you want to go back to stock fully then drop the tool kits and just flash stock and relock bootloader

Alright I did that, erasing the non existent recovery as well. Now when I try to boot, its stuck at the Google logo. When I enter bootloader and select reboot recovery, it just goes to the screen with Google logo and the fastboot arrow

So through fastboot you ran
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
And output said OK to both and the recovery you used was for grouper correct? The md5sum checked out right?
If so you may need to flash a factory image from google
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
This time
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot update nameofupdate.zip
Oh and you may need to relock bootloader before update

Alright, so after i flashed the recovery, I attempted to boot into recovery. I am stuck at the google logo. But let me try the rest of the commands you gave me really quick.
Oh, and when I downloaded the factory image, I got a .tgz file, not a zip.

So the recovery.img you are flashing through fastboot says it worked but when you boot to it you get nothing? Is this correct? What recovery image are you flashing?
Can you try

Alright, I figured it out. The recovery was flashing right, but the file I had wouldn't stick for some reason. So I found the grouper TWRP .IMG file, flashed it, and it stayed. After that, it was as simple as pushing the file and flashing it all. Thank you so much for all of your help in this matter. Hope to see ya around the forums!!!

Is my phone still savable?

I cannot get my phone to start, whenever I reboot it takes me to recovery!
When I'm at recovery it shows black screen. (Recovery installed from Rom Manager)
I can only access bootloader. What did I do?
I installed Rom Manager and install the Clockworkmod Recovery
I wanted to flash cyanogenmod 11, I did that in the Rom Manager
Then my DNA restarts and shows black screen after the HTC Logo
Help please!! >.<
Being in recovery is a good thing. You should have done a backup before flashing. Go to cwm , wipe system data and cache. Restore your backup. Then get a fresh cm down load and start from scratch. Don't use rom manager to flash this time. Flash from recovery.
Oops sorry reread your post. Recovery is not working? So did you flash recovery through rom manager, then immediately flash cm without booting to recovery first to make a backup? Either way your phone will be fine. you will likely have to push a new recovery through adb. You will find instructions through search.
Put the phone in fastboot open a command window on your pc and then use the command "fastboot erase cache" and then see if you can boot into the recovery.

Well you see, fastboot is not working for some reasons... I installed the drivers, tried other drivers but still nothing. Whenever I try to lock my bootloader it say "waiting for device" (I wanted to use RUU but cant lock bootloader)
Pardon my english
Are you using windows? I had trouble getting adb to work with my current windows install. I used unbtu booted from a usb and adb worked perfectly....
I borked up my DNA a few weeks back like yours. I use Linux Mint, used some flashboot commands (I'm at work, can't remember exactly) and was able to flash TWRP recovery (but you could flash CWM if you wanted to). Then I was able to RUU. I could have pushed a ROM and flashed afterwards, but I RUU'd instead.
Hope this helps.
Word to the wise, when flashing anything on your phone, READ ALL THE DIRECTIONS VERBATUM. If you don't, you risk the bork (like I did).
