i don't know how any one is getting any of this done. i've been able to root, several times, install CWM, several times, but i can not seem to figure out how to boot into the fastboot, or into the bootloader so that i can use fastboot, so that i can unlock my bootloader. is there some magical secret that every one else in the world knows, except me???
i'm running v20d. i've got fastboot and adb installed on linux (debian), and i can shell into the phone via adb, and then substitute user* as root and delete bloat ware and every thing else - but i can't figure out how to boot into bootloader... i've tried "adb reboot bootloader" and "adb reboot-bootloader" (yes, the 2nd one is valid), but both just reboot the phone, then i see the CWM flashing lights, then it continues to boot as normal - a few times i got the dead droid icon.
i can do all this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43401184 but i can't get into the danged bootloader... this can't be just me, but it seems like i'm the only one that has no clue how to get this right
bleh! thanks in advance.

LG prevents rebooting in bootloader on most phones, including this one. Entering fast boot with the script and running the command fails BC its not an official fastboot its user compiled.

i've been rooting and putting CWM onto it before i bother with the bootloader, but i wonder if you have to unlock the bootloader FIRST, because CWM or rooting wipes out some thing that's needed to get the bootloader to allow fastboot??? i dunno, just taking stabs in the dark now...
I didn't have recovery or radio installed when I unlocked my bootloader

Dude, check my last post on the unlocking bootloader guide thread, I think step 13 that I posted might be the missing key,if it is please let me know because I haven't seen anyone try this at all.

*crosses fingers* good luck, if I find more suggestions I'll let you know. For now let's hope I'm right on this.
You're not the only one. I am also unable to unlock. I agree with omgbossis21 when he mentions that LG blocked access to fastboot. I tried several key combinations but none worked.
The bootloader is on this thing, though. The hidden menu shows the status. Has anyone tried asking LG tech support how to access official fastboot? It must exist in order for the techs to recover the damn thing.

Usually phones that don't have a key combo for fastboot you can delete main system partitions and it would start in official fastboot like my LG motion. Not on this phone though

I just purchased the Sprint variant of the HTC One Max and decided to unlock the bootloader to root it. I followed the instructions up to the point where I have to have to run the fastboot command in CMD. The example shows the CMD changing its directory to \Android. When I try to do this, I'm given the error: "The system cannot find the path specified." I tried just doing fastboot command, but came back with "fastboot is not recognized..."
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. Android SDK, Java Runtime, and HTC Sync are all installed and updated.
Thanks in advance!

Thank you for the quick reply.
This worked, but when I attempt to run the command for the fastboot I get an error saying "The program can't start because AdbWinApi.dll is missing from your computer."
Was this something that was supposed to be installed from one of the Android SDK installs?

It was in the sdk\platform-tools folder.
Does the command line have to be directed to the folder containing the fastboot application file? Inside said platform-tools folder is the fastboot file as well as the ApbWinApi.dll file.

Yep! Unlocked the bootloader successfully! Now, I'm trying to Root and the instructions I'm following are good, but I'm stuck again - It says to run CMD and use the command "adb devices." It comes back with nothing found, yet, according to the instructions my phone's serial number should be listed. I placed the Superuser.zip file in the phone's storage (per requisite) and tried to run the command with the phone on normally and again in the bootloader.
No luck... Suggestions?
Edit: USB Debugging wasn't on... Trying again...

If you are unlocked you can simply download a custom recovery for your phone into your fastboot directory and boot your phone to boot loader (fastboot) mode. Flash your recovery using your appropriate fastboot command. Then boot to your new custom recovery and flash the su.zip you copied to the phone from recovery.

Would that solve my next problem? (I'm such a sputz)
I'm rooted, but I can't uninstall anything with Titanium Backup. The last time this happened on my S3 I was told to install SuperSU and install updated binaries. I did that, but when I reboot and go back into SuoerSU it acymts as if it never happened. Apps I uninstalled are still present, too.
Would S-offing solve this?
Edit: Also, I get an annoying pop-up when I start the phone up that says vDN client has failed. Even before I unlocked and rooted. Any way to stop this?

You need to flash an insecure boot.img to disable system write protection. S-off would allow you to recover your phone using both signed and unsigned ruu. The advantage of that is when you hose your phone and there's not a current ruu for the version your phone is on - s-on user would be screwed because you cannot downgrade. Just one of many reasons.
The fc problem I'm not sure. If you aren't using that app you can disable it in the stock app manager. Same goes for stuff you might normally remove with tibu. Be warned too that future otas will likely fail if system apps are missing.

i have noticed someelse posting about the vDN client failing.. it your providers bloatware if i remember correctly and i think @dottat has a good suggestion! disabled it
So I somehow lost root privileges... After S-offing, I was asked to update the SU binary through the Superuser app (not SuperSU) and I did so. When the install finished, I went into Titanium Backup and was told I'm not rooted.
Went back into Superuser and it didn't prompt for an update, but SuperSU did. Attempted and failed.
Went into recovery and tried to recover root - no luck.
HALP!

Don't use Superuser by ChainsDD anymore.. Personally I would love to continue to use it but he is basically no longer supporting his Superuser app and binary and hasn't updated it in a very long time. SuperSU by Chainfire is constantly being updated therefore made to work with all current versions of Android.. Quite frankly it's all the same basically anyways I just liked the skull and cross bone look lol... Chainfire is a monster as well and has a ton of root related apps and cool things going on. ChainsDD I guess passed the torch on to Chainfire???

hey guys, i have no clue what happened. i havent fooled around and fiddled with my HDX 8.9 in months. i rooted it in december and installed safestrap last month (but i didnt use it. i only installed safestrap in anticipation of a rom) and out of the blue my kindles wifi stopped working yesterday. i decided to restart it bc thats the ultimate fix for all electronics but now its stuck on the animated kindle fire boot logo. ADB works and i can also boot into fastboot. Thats where my knowledge ends. i dont have the knowledge you guys have and i have googled this for the past 3 hoours but to no avail. i would find other help on other devices but i dont wanna risk ruining my hdx even more by trying another devices fix.
can anyone tell me how to recover from adb. i tried this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2530623
and it just booted me into fastboot and i would use this command: "fastboot -w -i 0x1949" and that doesnt do anything. androidcowboy seemed to have some problems with that method too, so im skeptical. is there someway to push a unmodified firmware and get stock back?? ill provide any more info you guys need. a quick step by step or a link to somebody elses page would be awesome!! a cookie to the best helper! :highfive:
PS i should also mention that i can in fact boot into safestrap. however, my backup does not appear. my internal storage in safestrap says 0mb. is my internal sdcard not mounting for a reason?
please help!

did you use the normal usb calbe to boot into fastboot mode? or you were using a special usb cable?
if you can boot into safesatrap, then your hdx is not a brick at all ,you can fix it in safestrap ,try to google the ways using the SS.

thanks for response. i was using a normal cable. are you sugesting that i load amazons official firmware over my stock partition through SS? this is why i was asking because this is what it seems google say to do. i was planning on doing that but i didnt want to mess my device up more so thats why i was asking. i was thinking of creating a slot and installing stock firmware on it and see if it was safe but because my internal storage doesnt mount and shows up as 0mb i was unable to create a slot and load the firmaware.
please be a little more specific as to what i should be googling and i will gladly do it. i hate asking questions in forums bc i dont want to be that guy who takes peoples time up for a simple solutioin but the truth is that i looked everywhere before i asked the question. i have a couple of methods i would like to use but i dont know which one is the right one and the safest one. im leaning towards reloading stock amazon firmware into the stock slot on SS.
thanks again and sorry for being a pain. im a noob compared to most of you guys but believe it or not im quite tech saavy.

can you verify that you have ADB enabled on your Truesmart ?
When it's done, connect your truesmart to your computer, and use the command: adb reboot recovery
And you will directly reboot into TWRP
thanks for your reply, but how do i check if adb is enabled on my truesmart? ive installed the adb drivers on my pc. sorry im a complete noob... and where do i enter that command?? thank you soo much for your response!!
ok, i think i figured something out, i downloaded shell terminal emulator from the play store and tried that command, and got error: device not found. wow i really didnt think it was going to be this hard to secure...
ok i'm an idiot... tried the command in the ADB terminal in MTK and had the same result, it just rebooted in to OUI... tried on both win7 and win8.1

If you just get it and have 13 mai 2014 F/W, chance is the current TWRP is NOT workable on this version of TS. I learnt it the hard way.... Wait for dev to make new version.
This version of 1/8/2100 is DIFFERENT to any previous 1/8/2100! (Don't ask me where... ask OMate) This difference broke all compatibility with all the F/W, Recovery... on XDA as of today!
Actually you don't need TWRP. You could still use MTKDroid tool to back up your system and IMEI/NVRAM. You could follow my small guild here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2758733
waiting for the devs? hmm i think nobody wants to develop in future for this device...
any idea how i can get the rom from lokifish running?
I thought that might be the case, just my luck... Finally get my device after all the devs have given up on it! I really hope someone out there figures out how we can secure our devices...
Would I be right to guess that this new firmware is still insecure?
Hi All,
I get the same issue as above. Looks like we have to play the waiting game until any quality dev can get right on it.
I tried to enter recovery using cwm ROM manager. It said I had TWRP installed. I got the dead android, then entered recovery but it wasn't TWRP.
I didn't play, just rebooted the watch and its stuck on the loading screen. Long press on power button doesn't reset it. Guess I'm breaking out the screwdriver...

Hello guys I have a serious problem
First of all my smartphone:
HTC One M7
I'm not that good at rooting an stuff so I try out alot of things. So I rooted my phone and put cyanogenmod on it with the special software from the main-site (thats the software for dummies where it does everything by itself)
so then it was rooted and unlocked and had cyanogenmod on it. The main reason for me to do this was to be able to delete those annoying preinstalled apps like the google app itself (seriously if I wanna google something I aniway open the browser...) aniway I also deleted a few other apps and it worked just fine for like a half year.
Then I decided to check if I could delete something else and decided to delete (I'm not a 100% sure if it was this but I'm pretty sure) a part of the google settings app with a root app deleting app.
afterwards everything was still working fine except that I cant open Play store, when I do try to open it it pops up and imediately closes again without a error message or anithying (its also still opened in the "taskmanager" but if i try to open it from there the same thing happens) also I cant create any more google accounts or can install any kind of app nothing of that seems working. So afterwards I decided to try many things out to get the probelm away myself, first attempt was to newly install the cyanogenmod, with didn't work because I couldn't install the neccessery app on the phone.
then I tried flashing new roms by downloading various snapshots and nightly versions of CM (I coudln't find a stable version of CM for my HTC One M7) onto my phone an flashing them using recovery.
this actually worked and In the end I had those versions on my phone but the problem with the playstore and installing apps was still there. also in the setup of CM it asks to create a google account and when i press the button I get habtic feedback that I pressed it but nothing at all happens and if i then try to create a new google account in the settings it also just doesn't open anithyng.
I think the only way would be to flash a rom from the PC by using something like Odin but I havent found any way to make it work so I'm asking you if any of you has an idea what to do...
o and another piece of information wich might be useful: the google settings app is still there but with alot less options.
thanks already for every answer I get
Sounds like you uninstalled something from the gapps package. Try reaching gapps and see if that fixes it.

Thanks for your answer.
The question for me is how to install those Gapps I found some on the internet downloaded them and installed them from the recovery it aqctualli did something but the problem was still there.
was it the wrong way to install it over the recovery or is it something else?

Be sure to download the ones suggested by CM for your Android version. Wipe /system, reinstall rom then flash gapps.

It might be something corrupt on your data partition then. Wipe data and start the rom fresh.

Well... after wiping all data in the recovery I wanted to start up the phone again to put the roms on it again but now it gets stuck in the HTC startupscreen (the one where you see a fullbright white screen with the green HTC logo)...

Why would you boot to install the rom? You would flash in recovery.

You could adb push the files while in recovery.

I know I know its my fault but isn't there an easier way to do this by just flashing FROM the pc with something like Odin or is this just not possible with my smartphone?
because it doesnt matter which rom I have on it later.
The reason I ask for this is, is because I never got an answer if its even possible because even setting up a connecting over adb seems like a lot of work after googling it

No system like Odin. You could run an ruu zip via fastboot and it would flash the stock image.

This sounds exactly like a good solution I googled around alot and found out many ways but sadly till now I havent figured out a way to make it work right now I tried out this two ways:

I always succesfully got the phone into the RUU mode (where there is a silver HTC logo ond black ground) and then I tried flashing the stock RUU Rom but it somehow did not work I think its because my phone isnt the sprint one as suggested the problem is I have no Idea what kind of phone I have there are so freakin many when searching for the right rom I only know that I have a normal phone from Switzerland (in europa) without T-mobile sprint ATAT or whatever those things are called but there are like hundrets of versions there...
but like I said I'm going to try it out right now with another version which might be the right one gona write the feedback right after doing so.

That is the ruu for vzw. Use the zip to flash in ruu mode. Warning this will wipe your phone clean.
To know your phone model just type the below command and remove your info and serial from the string that prints in cmd and paste the info here. I can let you know the model through that command.
Fastboot getvar all.

Like written before I was sticking to this plan here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2251800
And this is the whole outcome:

the sending sparse zip and stuff never showed up before but it still gave out error messages and I dont know why...
Unfortunately if an ruu won't work, the next thing you can do it adb. It isn't that scary or difficult. Below is a very detailed guide that simplifies it. It helps you install ADB to your PC and gives the basic commands you can do. The one you want is: adb push filename /directoryonandroid while in recovery and it will send your rom zip to your phone then it is just a simple install.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=879701
EG: in this example the rom I want to install is in the directory c:/adb
Code:
CD C:/adb/
Adb devices
(Verbose showing the computer recognizes your phone)
Adb shell
su
Adb push rom.zip /sdcard/
(Verbose of the command working or failing)
Then you go to the root of your sdcard and install the rom like normal in recovery. Be sure you are in recovery when doing adb commands. The reason I did adb shell and su command is because I was sending a file to the root of SD and sometimes that would need root. You could try pushing the file without root.
