hey i am rooted at the moment with s off and an unlocked bootloader. i was wondering two things. i need to proper code to relock my bootloader so when i do an exchange at&t won't know what i did. i had an issue of getting adb tor recognize my phone. i went to the fastboot folder in my C drive, and went into where adb was located. heres the thing i was able to reboot the phone using adb. but when i type in adb devices it has a blank and won't let me execute the command to re lock my bootloader. i know i can flash the ruu for my phone using my computer, but i don't think that will relock my bootloader. or show that it's locked. i just need the instructions to do this when im ready so when i do turn in my phone they won't blacklist my phone or whatever.
AT&T does not check such things. As they will simply send the phone back to be refurbed and that will wipe and reset everything. Only if you are trying to do a warranty with HTC, then HTC will check but AT&T does not care.
developer options make sure usb debugging is checked,turn off fastboot in power settings

Hello,
I have an EVO 3D that was having screen issues.
When I took it to the Sprint store they said my warranty was void for having ViperRom on the device.
The device was HTC unlocked and had ViperRom redline.
I asked them to not note that down and that I would come back tomorrow with the device back to stock settings.
I made a mistake though when I manually flashed a boot.img using adb.
Now I just get a blank screen when the phone starts. I am not able to enable USB debugging or disable fastboot.
Now I can get into the bootloader by using power and the down key.
Since the phone is in Unlocked Mode and S-ON I can't update through ADB without USB debugging or fastboot disabled.
Also any PG86IMG.zip on the SD card doesn't ask for an update when the phone is HTC unlocked
There is no bootloader option to relock the phone either.
If anyone can please help I would greatly appreciate it. I'm supposed to go back there today 9/18/2012 at 4PM PST
Are you able to get into fastboot on your phone? If so what you have to do is relock your bootloader first. Fastboot oem lock is the command. Your phone should pick up the pg86img file and update.

I can't relock the bootloader using any PC tools. I can get into the bootloader menu by pressing Vol- but since the phone give a black screen when I try to booth I cannot enable USB debugging nor disable fastboot. I think this is what is preventing me from being able to connect to the phone via USB... I'm working on that assumption however I could be wrong.

I can see when I turn the phone on it's actually functioning, just with a black screen. It still makes noises for receiving text and so on I just can't enable usb debugging and disable fastboot blind. I wonder if I found my HDMI adapter if an external display would work. That would be weird.

UPDATE: I figured it out that just by selecting fastboot and THEN connecting the USB I could get USB connectivity!
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
So I was on my way to unlocking my boot loader and rooting the phone when i ran into this issue. (i am on AT&T)
The phone is stuck on a Red Exclamation Point and then it reboots to a white HTC screen every minute or two.
Where I was at in the process my bootloader was "unlocked", "tampered" displayed. I had even backed up with TWRP. The thing was I couldnt get the USB Debugging turned on. I turned it on before I started the process and was having trouble finishing with superuser and rooting the device. I had been trying forever to setup the S-OFF Feature to NO AVAIL.
Once I unlocked on HTCdev and then setup TWRP I just could never get the phone back to normal.
Once again this is the INT'L Version of the HTC ONE MAX and I just don't know where to turn next.
Please help. I am without phone and just purchased yesterday.
TIA - Mark
Well what you need is an ruu (rom utility updater) which is an updater program officially from htc. but I can't seem to find it for you, perhaps because it's not even made yet..
I'm affraid it's gonna have to go back to the store, are you able to acces to bootloader? if not, then don't worry about it being unlocked, they'll never notice. They're going to reset it for you or give you a replacement.

heres my question how do i know what RUU to search for? how do i figure out which version i need based on my phone?
Thanks in advance.
Mark
Well you say you have the international version? but you got it from at&t so it's carrier branded right?
but first things first, you have to be able to access the bootloader to start the ruu. So can you access it?
when in fastboot: find out the CID by this command: fastboot getvar cid
If it answers with : None. Don't worry, try this command: fastboot oem readcid
Then it will tell you the CID. this code is needed when receiving updates from your carrier.
You will need to find the ruu for your CID, any other ruu won't work.
If you find an international ruu for your phone, you can use that one, but you have to have SuperCID.
You can get superCID after you s-off..
If you have SuperCID you can flash any ruu for your device, be careful though, I bricked my htc one s with a wrong ruu.
Goodluck!
the phone is not sold by ATT but is GSM
i cannot access boot loader.
I cant get past the RED EXCLAMATION (so am I bricked?)
this is the phone...
http://www.amazon.com/HTC-One-Max-F...92559809&sr=8-3&keywords=htc+one+max+unlocked
when in fastboot: find out the CID by this command: fastboot getvar cid
If it answers with : None. Don't worry, try this command: fastboot oem readcid
also i did find the TRWP backup if that matters or helps....
i tried both commands and it says fastboot is notrecognized as an internal or external command
operable program or batch file.
Well if you cannot access the bootloader, then you can't use fastboot commands..
Can you tell me what button pressing combinations you have used to enter bootloader?
Can you try to power the phone off completely and then just hold volume down?
The twrp backup can come in handy when your phone gets a working recovery, don't delete that
when i hold down the vol down...it just stays on RED EXCLAMATION....and when I try and enter bootloader mode with vol it just gives me the reset to the White HTC screen and back to the RED EXCL
i have not been able to power down completely

I'm pretty clueless here, If i were you i would keep trying to get in the bootloader. I have had a similar soft brick on my htc one and after half an hour of pressing every key combination it ended up in the bootloader. If that doesn't work I would let it get replaced on warranty
Okay so now I need some HELP.
I took out the SD Card and the SIM Card and the Bootloader screen comes up.
My choices are FASTBOOT, RECOVERY FACTORY RESET, SIM LOCK etc.
What do I do. I feel like I got one chance at this!
And here is my boot loader
my last question....how do i enable the USB Debugging. It shows as being OFF.
Can i do through boot loader or through the CMD Prompt..?

okey here's what you do, you don't have to have usb debugging enabled. that's only for adb purposes. You need to try and access the twrp recovery from the bootloader. If it doesn't work. try and look for the boot.img file of a twrp recovery for your device and flash that through fastboot
I bricked my opx I was able to bring it to life but the ****ty recovery doesn't let me flash anything so I am stuck no OS and boot loader locked and my computer isn't recognizing the dam thing I have installed SDK tools and google USB drivers but for some reason I am not able to get the Dan thing to connect right when I try via adb sideload it starts then the phone says fail...... Please help I am love this device and brand but I am getting really mad I am about a week in to trying to fix this but no luck I am using windows 10 also
Sorry to say, but you gotta follow this thread.
[GUIDE] Mega Unbrick Guide for A Hard Bricked OnePlus X
Since you may ignore the other thread you started or it may get deleted I'll copypasta here:
We can try to unlock the bootloader as it is now, but that doesn't usually work unless you checked "OEM Bootloader Unlock" in the system settings before the device was bricked. Hindsight is 20/20 but as a word of advice for the future, never ever mess with a device unless you know the bootloader is unlocked or have made it possible to unlock it later without the OS. It also doesn't void the warranty on OnePlus devices to do so.
So first things first, the recovery will normally only flash the stock ROM as provided by OnePlus. You can download that file from here: http://downloads.oneplus.net/2016-04...xygenOS_2.2.1/. For future reference, when the bootloader on a device is locked the bootloader will not boot any software that isn't complete stock. If you try and change the OS or Recovery and it's not stock, the bootloader will not load it. This goes for any Android device.
If ADB sideload is working for you but hasn't been installing on the device (as-in, it sends the file but the device fails to install it) then you should be able to just sideload the zip file. It'll be slow though since it's about 780megs. If it doesn't send it then you can try using the ADB "push" command which is like copy and paste. You "push" the file from your computer to a folder on the device (you can see what folders are available using "adb shell" and then navigating with CD "change directory" and LS "list". If you can't find the sdcard you may have to mount it). Once again, it'll push slowly but once it does you should be able to install it from the internal memory.
If that works and it boots, go to Settings -> About Phone and tap the Build Number until it says you've enabled developer settings. Go to Settings -> Development and turn on "OEM Unlocking". Power the phone down. Hold the Power key and Volume Down until it shows the OnePlus logo and "Fastboot". I believe if you have the Android SDK you have the Fastboot program (it's commandline like ADB). Open CMD or Powershell and as long as it's the only device plugged into the computer you should be able to simply type "Fastboot oem unlock" and it will unlock the bootloader. Once again, it doesn't void your warranty.
Hello there. I have a Nokia 6.1 with android 9.0 and i tried to root it. I enabled the developer mode, then enabled usb debugging.
But when i tried to unlock the bootloader, i couldn't because the OEM unlocking option stays greyed out on off. So when i installed adb and fastboot, i tried to boot by adb reboot bootloader but the fastboot can't do anything because it says device is locked.
I even factory reset the device, nothing. Same thing.
What should i do? Preferably not the paid unlock...
Thanks in advance.
Try this (It will wipe the phone, so create a backup of all important files before proceeding):
1. Connect your phone to your PC with an USB cable (make sure you have activated USB debugging in developer options)
2. Run adb
3. Type in adb reboot bootloader
4. Once your phone has rebooted type in fastboot flashing unlock or fastboot oem unlock
You should have unlocked your bootloader and you should be good to go, if it doesn't work then you'll need an unlock key, which unfortunately you'll have to pay for
If you think that you have misunderstood some steps then feel free to reply
