[Q] Bootloader issues - HTC Droid DNA

I followed the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2109862
and on the 3. a. step, it wants you to open Windows CMD and type "fastboot oem readcid". I type this in and the CMD simply says "unknown command" or something similar to that, therefor I am not sure if I unlocked the bootloader or whatever.

What firmware are you on? That method won't work on any updated DNAs. Check out rumrunner or firewater. There's also a thread in general called "too late to root" or something like that.

[Q] How do i re-lock bootloader?

( i admit i am a noob at this stuff) I bought this rezound from a guy, and i came home and downloaded the Rezound All-In-One kit, i installed the htc drivers registered at htcdev. I tried to get token ID.. didnt work, and i tried to do the ICS leak and followed the instructions exactly... didnt work.. well i looked at my phone while in bootloader and it said unlocked, i tried running the All-in-one kit "Relock Bootloader" command and it still doesnt work. in command prompt it says ( Rezound_All-In-One_Kit_v2.0\data>fastboot oem lock
< waiting for device >
and thats it.. doesnt do anything else.. can someone please help me re-lock this phone.
First, try doing the above again, only uninstall/disable HTC sync this time. Report back if it doesn't work. Also, why do you wish to relock?

Is your phone in HBOOT when you issue the command? If not, it should be. Fastboot commands only work in HBOOT.

Yeah you're right MrSmith. I looked at the .bat related to re-locking in the A-I-O toolkit and it doesn't invoke "adb reboot bootloader" command before attempting "fasboot oem lock".
I ran into this problem as well. Make sure usb debugging is on. Should work like a charm.

Again, its not a matter of having debugging enabled. See my post above.

Try rebooting into HBOOT then unplugging the phone and plugging it back in. Sometimes the device manager(on your PC) doesn't pickup the change in modes. The AIO could just be firing off commands instead of waiting for the phone to be ready as well. Try doing it manually.

[Q] Problems flashing amon-ra

Starting from stock, I've successfully followed the instructions at htc dev, and the bootloader now says "unlocked". I'm having a problem flashing the amon-ra image as outlined on Scotty's site (http://androidforums.com/rezound-al...ys-noob-friendly-root-guide-start-finish.html) when in ADB I type "fastboot devices", adb responds that it can't find the device. This is after the rest of the procedure worked, and it was recognized using "adb devices".
I only want to get to root at this point. I'm not going to flash ics. The Go Launcher gives me what I want, but I want to trim out some bloat, so I want root.
Can anyone see where I've gone wrong?
Ok, got it. I was following the wrong set of instructions.

Fastboot !!!!!

I'm trying to read device id with a "fastboot oem get_unlock_data" command to unlock bootloader, but nothing. I followed all the instructions with installing adb drivers, android sdk and motorola drivers,and I just can't get it working. Did everything it said on motorola site.

Yes, I have tried that. When I use the CMD and type this "fastboot oem get_identifier_token" I get this message <waiting for device>. I did turn on USB debugging and installed the driver on my computer.

May be a driver problem. Uninstall your current ones and install Universal Naked Driver. Look around xda/Google for it.

How do you have s-off with hboot 1.01? Please tell us how you did it cause as far as I know s-off with hboot 1.01 is impossible.
P.s. I don't think you can get a device token on hboot 1.01 anyway cause I tried that before going to hboot 1.02.

That file must be copy to the root of SDCard, don't inside any folder, and it's name must be LEGEIMG.zip
If it's not work, I think you should flash the RUU 3.xx first (don't need following the instruction in htcdev) then unlock bootloader with LEGEIMG.zip

You can not use any rom, it will mess up the radio and lock the phone to its original provider.

2. Connect your phone to computer via USB in "Charge only" mode and turn on "USB Debugging" in Setting>Application>Development. Let your computer install all driver.
3. Right-click "My computer", select "Manage", select "Device manager", explore "Android USB Device". Make sure your driver is "My HTC", if not, you must update driver. You can browse the update in "C:\Program Files\HTC\HTC Driver"
4. Turn off your phone, wake it up in HBoot (Volume - and Power)
5. Your driver is change now (in fact, it's the second driver in hboot mode), update it to "My HTC" via "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer" option.
6. Run the RUU (Run as Administrator with Vista or 7) on your computer, follow the instruction and wait until it finish.
7. Turn on your phone and make the Start Setup
8. Connect you phone to your computer via USB in "Disk Driver" mode and turn on "USB Debugging"
9. Copy the "LEGEIGM.zip" to the root of SDCard (Do not copy to any folder) (Download here: http://www.mediafire.com/?yuz8tmtrsctw2ky)
10. Turn off your phone, wake it up in HBoot
11. Your phone found an update, just select yes
12. Reboot in HBoot, all done! Your phone is unlocked and Hboot is 1.02
ROOT YOUR PHONE
13. Turn on your phone, connect it to your computer via USB in "Charge only" mode and turn on "USB Debugging"
14. Run HTC Super Tool on your computer (Download here: http://www.mediafire.com/?xxeh1d1k2bpg7xh)
15. Type 1 or 2, Enter to prep
16. Type 3, Enter to root
17. Reboot your phone, now, you'll see an icon with name "Super User" in programs list, your phone is rooted.
Now you can flash other rom (if you want, or keep this rom with all functions settled), install Clock Work Recovery, run any apps that need Super User permission (like Link2SD,...)

Can't Root or Install Openrecovery in HBOOT 2.09

Okay, so I got hboot 2.09 unlocked. I then proceeded to follow QBKing77 instructions for rooting and installing openrecovery. I downloaded the root files from the link he provides. When I type in "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-jewel.img" and hit enter, it tells me error: cannot load fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-jewel.img,: Unkown Error. Can anyone offer any suggestions here? Thanks.

Yes I actually went back through the entire process, and checked the path to make sure it was installed correctly. Rebooted the computer and the phone, but still getting unknown error message.
try this open your sdk folder and press shift and right click platform tools and select open cmd window here
that will put you in a writeable folder
Unfortunately I do not get that option. Running windows XP.
hmmmm
is the .img file in your platform tools folder?
drivers installed?
does your pc recognize your phone when you plug the USB in?

once you open cmd window point to this folder

Worked for me. and I'm hboot 2.09 also. I don't have windows xp but when I open the sdk directory. hold shift and right click I get a prompt saying "open command window here" I then issue the fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.3.3.0-jewel.img command. it flashes just fine. I think you're missing a step or two.
Please take a look at my thread on rooting/superuser/TWRP installs. It's a pretty good guide. I tried to take the mystery out of this process.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2038123
I am having issues rooting via qbking77's method on Youtube.
I'm stuck at the 5:42 mark where I need to mount USB storage via Teamwin / TWRP recovery.
The 'Mount Cache/Mount SD Card/Mount Internal' aren't' checked on my phone and I can't check them manually. When I click on 'Mount USB Storage'. My computer pops up a message telling me that 'You need to format the disk drive in F:before you can use it. I'm not sure what to do next.
Any suggestions? Thanks.
Thanks this forum helped me find my problem while following qbking77 video on how to root. I realized after quite a few tries that the twrp img file had changed a bit since the video was posted. When bigdaddy619 check for file I found file to be openrecovery to have some different numbers.
Also the actual root file towards the end of the video name/version had changed also. Little details make a big difference.
Im having an issue trying to install openrecovery as well. Ive followed all of qbking77's instructions in the videos. Im running HBOOT 2.09 which is already unlocked. I have SDK tools and everything as well. When i get to the step to install openrecovery, I go to the folder containing the file and shift+right click and open a cmd window. This is what I get:
C:\Users\Jeremy\Desktop\Root_HTC_EVO_LTE>fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-tw
rp-2.5.5.0-jewel.img
< waiting for device >
sending 'recovery' (8196 KB)...
And thats it. It locks up and doesn't go any further. I've tried several times and retraced my steps through the whole install procedure with the same result. Can you fellas help me out?

Anyone else have any ideas? I've rooted this phone before in the past and never had a problem unlocking and rooting or unrooting and relocking so this is most peculiar.

Try uninstalling everything HTC from your PC
reboot PC and device
re-install drivers including HTC Sync(you can delete it afterwards and the drivers will remain)
plug in your device via usb cable it should install the drivers again also boot into the bootloader drivers should install again
You should be good to go now
