I have successfully rooted and installed a few roms. I have updated radios and even installed the new sense 5.5 rom. It locked my phone, so I have been trying to unlock it for a couple of days. I have used htc dev unlock and win droid versions. I've used three different windows versions. Still no PC recognizes my phone. Is there a common fix? I have read and found none here, nor online.

Yes. It's recognized until I reboot to bootloader. Two evenings on this!
Are you selecting the Fastboot option when you get to the bootloader?

Not using Windows 8.1 w/USB 2.0, are you? Because if so, you'll have to use a hacky workaround.

Ha, yes I was! So I tried other ports. Then tried XP net book, to no avail. Everything works fine on the rom, and I saw your post about re-unlocking. I've never been stumped before. May try a windows7 laptop tonight. Not too familiar with Ubuntu. Thanks.

Yessir. First used the replacement I bought, then the original. Only used the original trying Ubuntu. It must be something I'm missing. I really appreciate all the input.
Seems intriguing that some experience same problem with new released RUU.

I'm sorry if there is something already posted here somewhere about the rezound, but I haven't seen anything...yet...lol.
I've been trying to root my rezound ALL DAY and can't seem to figure anything out apparently.
If someone could help me out with sending me a link to the best way of unlocking bootloader and then rooting my phone. I had a dinc2 previously and that was not as hard to root compared to the rezound IMO. So please, if someone can take the time for me and help me out with getting my phone unlocked and rooted I would greatly appreciate it a TON!!!

hey guys thanks for replying back....I'm still getting no luck whatsoever with unlocking the bootloader.....I'm doing everything (or so I think I am) right with the steps on htcdev.com and when I get to the command prompt and type in fastboot oem get_identifier_token...this is what comes up
'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.....now I have NO CLUE what the heck to do!! I'm getting pissed off lol. I could really use some help here. thanks
You need to change the directory to where your fastboot is located.

After you install Android SDK the directions on the HTCdev site tell you to run sdk manager and download the Android SDK Tools and Android SDK Platfrom-tools. What I did was to take this a step further and also install the Google USB Driver which is listed in ADB Manager under Extras and also the API's for GB and ICS. The API's really aren't necessary but I don't think ADB will recognize the phone without the Google USB Drivers.

This may not work for you, but one time my drivers weren't working because I plugged my phone into a USB 3.0 port, so when I used a USB 2.0 port, it worked fine.
After the JB update, I can't seem to get Diagnostic Mode ##3424# to work. I've tried stock with goodies and OMJ build. Diag port doesn't show up in Windows 7. It does show up in Windows XP but driver doesn't install. Previous ICS worked on both XP and Win7. I've gone back to Stock with goodies ICS to confirm it still works. I'm just hoping ot have it available in JB.
Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Having the same problem. I can get into diagnostic mode on the phone but in Windows it won't show up as a modem in device manager or show what port (i was trying to manually change prl). Tried reinstalling HTC diagnostic drivers but it says it's not the right drivers for my device. Which is strange since they worked when I was on ics. I guess something changed on the drivers front with jelly bean.

My bet is that only works for windows 7. I've that post with both windows xp 32 bit and windows 8 64 bit and on both it tells me the drivers are not designed for my hardware (or something to that effect).
For now those on either of those OS's might just have to nandroid, flash ICS do their PRL update and then restore their JB nandroid.
Unless anyone else has figured out the proper drivers?

you need to install the drivers first. look at this page for help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1769284&highlight=qpst+make+evo+louder . if you are on windows 7 64 bit like me and are having troubles with the guide that was first provided look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28717758&postcount=8 ask me if you have any questions, i went through the same thing so i probally will know the answer. hope this helped.
P.S. the guide I provided was for use with qpst so if you aren't going to be using that only do steps 1,3,4, and 5. also this person probably meant step 3 not 4 when he says this "Browse to the folder containing the drivers your downloaded in step 4" in step 4
try changing to disk drive instead of HTC Sync Manager option in the phones drop down menu. that should install the diag drivers that you have already.

Sadly, no i guess.
Maybe someone else here has done it, he'll share it. 2 possibilities are there:
1. Run winxp/7 inside virtual box (maybe it wont work)
2. run Live ubuntu from a usb flash drive. It will definitely work but not easy.

See, people have already suffered the same problems and found solutions :good:
Back in March I was rooted, running a cool sense 5 based custom ROM and happy. But the phone had other ideas. It stopped recognizing the SIM card and the replacement phone Verizon sent was on the latest firmware which we couldn't hack. I couldn't deal with the stock configuration after having the custom ROM so I binned the phone and went back to my old GS3 hoping to someday be able to go back to the DNA.
If I understand things correctly, that day has come and we can root the current firmware equipped phones.....Correct? I've read thru a number of posts and all it has done is left me confused and hesitant to give it a shot.
Can someone help me out with the correct steps, methods and procedures to root my stock, S-on DNA running the latest OTA firmware (2.06)? Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Ok, gave it a shot with the windows version and didn't succeed. Followed the instructions and definitely made sure there was no trace of HTC Sync on the computer. When I run the Distiller.exe file, everything seems to run OK for test 1 (rebooting into bootloader) and test 2 (booting device) were the phone reboots like normal. Then the script says rebooting into bootloader (again) and sits there waiting for fastboot. It times out after 60 seconds and says connection failed. usb connection error.
Any ideas on were to go from here?
You need fastboot drivers.

Googled HTC fastboot driver and it looks like I need HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe . If I google HTC android drivers I can find another file HTCDriver_4.2.0.001.exe. Tried them both on my home windows 7 machine with a USB2 port. Nothing changed. Same results.
So I tried the window XP computer at my office that I originally used to root the old DNA. Got a little further this time. I get a message that temproot has failed. I also get a lot of stuff going on with "other devices" drivers when I watch my device manager. Is this normal during the process?

Ok temproot failing means factory reset time. You should be good after that.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 4 Beta
That did the trick!! Factory reset and the older XP machine. God, how much I missed the custom roms for this phone. It totally transforms the device.
As for the Moonshine process, like I said, it worked for me but I did run into a few more speed bumps. Everytime the phone would reboot, I had to squash the HTCsync install. I guess it's something on the phone as I searched hi and low to find anything like it on the computer, with no luck. Anyhow, I would just cancel out everytime the message appeared on the screen. If I didn't cancel out, the moonshine script would time out and fail.
Just wanted to follow up on this in case someone else has similar issues.
Thanks again, guys!

Thanks for posting that link here. I know the Rezzy is a dying breed, but I still have mine, and I always have a heck of a time getting my Windows 8-OS computer to recognize my device correctly. The tool pointed to in your link seems to keep adb/fastboot updated as well.
I'm already rooted, but I started up the app as administrator connected the phone, refreshed in the About Phone tab, and lo and behold, it recoginized it. The only test I ran was to boot into the bootloader using the tool. No problems. Hope other tasks go just as well...

Since the time of my original post in this thread, I've now tried to use fastboot commands. No dice. This all-in-one is definitely not a panacea for Win8.1 users.
So I'd have to agree with other users in this thread: Use a Linux variant for your work on HTC phones. Adb and fastboot are line commands for Heaven's sake, so most tasks won't require one to learn and understand the ins and outs of Linux.
Good luck,
