so trying to unlock bootloader on my m9,I get to the part where it says to copy device token and I click mark and try coping just the token key and I cant just copy the key, it only lets me copy everything and I have no idea how just to high light the key with out the bootloader and other stuff,Im running windows 10,I tried googling it and not finding anything on just coping certain text and not the whole line
Right click in CMD. click Mark, hightlight text with mouse. ctrl+c or move mouse to the top of window(white area with little CMD image) right click again, edit, then copy
Thanks,I will give that a try when I get home.trying to do it last night it was high lighting everything not just the key

As far as I know only way for S-OFF is through Sunshine (25.00) or a javacard(very expensive).

yes you can, just have your firmware upto date and custom recovery installed, download the rom of choice put on your sd card boot to recovery and flash away.

Sooo, playing with rooting, been rooted for a couple days, flashed viperlte rom and had problems and decided to take it back to stock for now. Gonna be on the road and can't be 'experimenting'...attempted to go back to stock, by using the original RUU, and as I understood it, I needed to lock the phone back first. Didn't make sense as I was wondering how I could flash a Rom if it was locked back. After locking, when trying to go to recovery, it just comes back to fastboot. I can't get into the main phone--it boots to a screen, but no buttons work, although if i press volume up/down it shows it on the screen. What have I done?! I'll admit being a newb to phones, so please, some guru help me get back to something
Here's what fastboot shows:
TAMPERED
RELOCKED
SECURITY WARNING
Fireball pvt ship s-on rl
Hboot 1.15
Radio 1.53
opendsp v29.1.0.45
emmc-boot
It wouldn't read either of the mini sd-cards I used after rooting, so I can't just get use my sdcard with a new or original rom. I can't get to a main phone screen to turn on usb debugging, so no adp? Any ideas?

download the ruu rename it PJ53IMG THEN transfer it to your sdcard via your computer and put back in phone and boot to bootloader, it should pick up the PJ53IMG, AND ASK YOU IF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE, hit volume up to sat yes.(put sdcard in an adapter and put in your computer to transfer) Also you want 2.17.605.2 ruu software. make sure the zip is on the root of the sdcard(not in a folder, then make sure after you transfer that the file doesn't have 2 zips on it (PJ53IMG.ZIP.ZIP)YOU WANT ONLY ONE ZIP

Thank you for the response. Tried this, it loaded the zip, then went to 'checking' and after that, back to the bootloader. Never asked me if I wanted to proceed. When rebooted it brought me back to where I was, a phone which appears to be up--clock works, wifi is on, but I can't do anything. I feel pretty confident the img is good. Thoughts?

XP PC, formatted fat32, put it on root...just tried a different ruu, searched the exact string, the 2.0... and got it from a xda forum member, so I feel confident in the ruu. It did the same thing, loaded it, checked it for about 2 mins, then returned me to the loader. I noticed SECURITY WARNING is gone from bootloader now, FYI. What else can we try?

Did you know if it had an Engineer's HBOOT before? Writeflagsecure 3 is to remove S-OFF. You didn't need to do that to go stock.
Try flashing a recovery?
If this for insurance purposes? Just wondering what you're trying to do with your phone since it was working when you got it.

No offense, but you keep saying things like "i think" or I "believe"; if you want our help, we need to know if you did it or not.
What recovery were you flashing?
Basically, what I'm saying is you might have deleted your recovery since you're saying that you keep ending up on the bootloader. You need to flash a recovery into your phone. If this doesn't make sense, just let me know and I'll point you in the right direction.
EDIT:
Follow these directions and then select RECOVERY from your bootloader. Let us know what happens please.

I hear you, it can be overwhelming at first. I've been flashing since the WM 6.5 days and still don't know as much as some of the people here!
When you select RECOVERY, it's bringing you back to the BOOTLOADER screen, right?
If that's the case, the RECOVERY may have been removed, which is why I'm saying to flash a new one in. Did you follow the instructions on that thread I linked to?

Just saw this. No, you should be using fastboot commands, not ADB
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
To begin, do you have the Android SDK installed on your computer? (Platform Tools)
You save the TWRP .img file in that folder.
Shift+Right Click on the folder and click Open Command Prompt Here
The phone should be connected to the PC
From the BOOTLOADER, go to FASTBOOT
It should say FASTBOOT USB
You can double check by typing 'fastboot devices'
Then run 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'
recovery.img will be named whatever your TWRP file is named
Then for good measure do 'fastboot reboot'
Now, you should be back in BOOTLOADER
Go to RECOVERY, and what do you see?

I've had no problems with 2.6 personally but either one will work. Once your in
Recovery you can download a ROM on your computer and on adb use.
adb push "C:\Documents and Settings\Josh\My Documents\Downloads\ViperDNA_1.3.5.zip" sdcard
Clearly that's how I would do it via my computer after you type adb push you can hit the space bar and drag the file to the command prompt and drop it there that will do the dirty work lol then you just hit space and tell it to install on the sdcard.
Dont let your phone or computer go to sleep or the push will corrupt the file it can take up to 10 mins to transfer the file and once you hit enter it won't acknowledge its actually transferring Dont worry it is. It will tell you when its done how long it took and how much it transfered. After that you can flash the ROM and you should be golden man!

Yesterday I upgraded my hboot to 2.28. Immediately afterwards, the phone would not get past the HTC white screen (I let it try for 45 minutes).
I can't get into recovery (flashes the HTC white screen, then goes to the green "circle arrows" for about 30 seconds, then to a red triangle with an exclamation mark).
In FASTBOOT, I don't get "fastboot USB" - I get "fastboot AC", and my computer can't see the device.
I'm at the end of my "know-how", and need someone to coach me through this.
Thanks in advance for any help!

DHChristensen- I've got just about the same problem. Mine occurred while trying to S-Off with Juopunutbear. I'm stuck on the Juopunutbear logo, no USB connectivity in Fastboot, and no recovery loaded.
Could you let me know where you found a PH98 image of Clockwork mod? I'm hoping I can load it from the HBOOT 2.28 that's currently on the phone.
Thanks in advance,

if yours was caused trying to s-off that wont fix it....when you plug your phone in pc do you get the device QHSUSB_DLOAD. If so this will be your fix http://unlimited.io/qhsusbdload.htm ....read up on their websire...they share possible errors and how to fix when attempting to s-off

Thank you for the advice Rev3nt3ch, I don't get the QHSUB_DLOAD device, nothing at all when I connect the phone to the PC. I tried anyway on my Linux PC to run the fix you suggested, it never finds the phone connected.
I went through all the other fixes suggested by the unlimited.io people over a chat session with them, no joy.
So, it looks like I am bricked. All I can do is boot to the HBOOT menu, or let the phone boot up normally, which takes me to the Juopunutbear logo.
Again my thanks for the advice,

Grab CWM_6.0.3.6_Vigor_PH98IMG.zip and rename it.

if you can still get to hboot you are not bricked...just a soft brick and this can be fixed...try the above posted method...if not you can mail the phone to me and ill fix it for you
I did a little research, Juopunutbear replaces your boot image temporarily, you need to put it back to fix your phone. What rom where you using when you attempted s-off? You need to make a PH98IMG.zip with the kernel (boot.img) from it. It's pretty easy, just need 7zip to update the zip image with the boot.img you were using. If you can't get the phone to communicate with a PC, you will need a card reader though to get the file on your SD Card.
Your other option is to keep trying controlbear and the wire trick til it takes.

Thank you kindly for the research. I was just running the stock ROM. I've tried restoring the boot.img from a downloaded copy, it appears to load, but doesn't change anything.
Juopunutbear does save the image from the initial attempt in a file calle boot_backup.img. I've renamed it and tried flashing, same thing.
I think my biggest mistake was that I did not load a recovery prior to running Juopunutbear. I just unlocked the device, then went to do the S-Off procedure.
Hello,
I was recently given a bootlooping Evo 4G Lte. I have been trying to figure out how to get this thing out of a bootloop and havent been able to do it. I, unfortunately, have no history on what happened to this device. Currently, it bootloops on the "Mean Bean" loading screen but will go no further. I can get into the bootloader, which says it is Unlocked, S-On, but I am unable to boot it into a recovery, it just returns back to bootloader. I have tried fastbooting twrp, but it fails (remote: image update error), and I have tried fastbooting the Mean Bean kernel thinking maybe thats all it needs, but that failed as well. Anybody have an insight? Much appreciated! Thanks.
Mike
I would run the 3.17 RUU. Hit the top link in my sig and look at the last post in the thread. You can run it from the bootloader. You'll need to re-root afterwards but it should get your phone back in working condition.

Thanks for the quick reply. I downloaded the RUU and ran it. However it sits and says "Waiting for bootloader" then errors out with "USB connection issue". The usb is working. The reason I never ran the RUU in teh first place was because i thought i read that you cant RUU with and unlocked bootloader. Is that not true? or is that my problem?
Mike
Not 100% sure but I will check with someone who used this tool recently and see if they were still unlocked at the time. Were you connected via Fastboot USB? Sounds more like a driver issue.

Shouldn't matter. I know of a couple of users who were having phone issues and had unlocked bootloaders when they ran this tool. Were you connected via Fastboot USB? Sounds more like a driver issue.

Yeah I was connected and it said fastboot USB. It said rebooting to bootloader and rebooted, still said fastboot USB. Then it sat at a screen that said "waiting for bootloader" and after a while error ed out.
You can try relocking. You just need to run the command "fastboot oem relock" from a command line while connected via fastboot USB mode.

I have since tried relocking to see if that was it, and it did the same thing.

Hopefully @YoFayce can shed some light on the matter since he recently used this on his phone.

you can use the stock RUU and you can leave the bootloader unlocked as it will not affect anything.. it will fix your looping problem (Amongst others) as in gps not working ect.. once your done you will need to fastboot over your TWRP and from there mod as normal Good Luck! and ill be watching if you need any help!

Problem is the ruu keeps error in out. I am beginning to think it may still be a driver problem. Someday I will get this done!

When in doubt update your android SDK remove the htc drivers reboot install drivers reboot and you should be good to go! Check the integrity of your USB cable and if possible use a rear USB port (More Power) Painful process yes but well worth it.. HTC drivers act strange till you reboot OOOh and make sure your using the proper HTC drivers for windows 32 bit or 64 bit!

The drivers seem to be ok, but I am still not able to get any further. The RUU finds my phone, then reboots again to bootloader, but it just sits there saying "Waiting for bootloader" until it errors out due to "USB Connection error". I have tried a few different cables, and different USB ports. Not sure what the problem is but it just wont go any further. I re-unlocked my bootloader with htcdev. I have tried fastbooting a recovery to the phone but it errors out. I just cant get anything to work so I can boot anything. I really just want to get something working...anything! Any other ideas? Thanks.

use an sd card put a recovery image on the root of the sd boot into bootloader apply the recovery you should then have a recovery if you did it right, go into twrp mount device add a rom flash in recovery viola.

Sinister,
Thanks for the reply. I put TWRP on the sdcard (named PJ75IMG, right?) and tried to apply that when I rebooted to recovery last night and it failed. It tries to load it but gives a few errors quick (No Image) Did I do it wrong?

make sure the file is just the PJ75IMG no additional text and it should be .zip If I recall correctly. make sure its on the root of the sdcard not internal but sd or external and it should be at the top level e.g. sdcard/ make sure its not in any other folders after you do that hold power and vol down get to hboot screen itll scan and then just follow the instructions.

Thats exactly what I did. It is the only thing on the sdcard. It says no gift file, Loading, no image for 4 different things. Then returns to the bootloader.

careful on the vol down press you might be holding it too long and its canceling the update.

Well, which recovery file should I be using? When I use the main TWRP ones (ie openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-jewel.img) it gives me the errors like I said above. I now see they have a few labeled like this PJ75IMG-twrp-2.3.1.0-jewel.zip. When I use these, it tries to continue but says "Main Version Is Older. FAILED"
hello every one, like alot of you guys i was stuck on white HTC Screen and only able to get to HBOOT and Fastboot, after a lot of Effing research over google and xda, almost a month an a thousand post with the same problem Finally Solved-it!!! im pretty sure it will work on your forgotten devices soooo. first of all i didnt uploaded the file just find it messing arround the web so all tanks go for those who uploadit.
an some months after a friend let me his phone with similar problems and got solved the same way.
booth phone were with lastest HBOOT 2.28.!! aln lastest radio.!
Attention.!! Im not responsable for any more DAMAGE or/if it can happen even if you have your phone already briked.. so play responsable..!!
ok. let me be a bit clear, i've got 2 diferent rezound with similar problems and booth got solved the same way
phone 1: Only showed white htc boot logo, and also onle let me acces hboot and fastboot, no recovery(custom or stock).NO BOOT.
phone 2: showed white htc logo,hboot,fastboot and also recovery but it was giving me emmc error an couldnt acces to any partition.
you will need some knowledge in FASTBOOT.!!! look for help over the web.!
STEP BY STEP GUIDE:
1)Fully Charge your Battery.!
2)Download this file-----> it have Hboot 2.28 and Radios 2.23 at: http://d-h.st/BIj http://d-h.st/BIj place it in your Fastboot folder.!
3)open CMD with Administrative Permitions(right click run as administrator)
4)cd to fastboot folder
5)put device in Fastboot mode(turn on pressing power + vol.down, then select fastboot).
5.1)if hboot unlocked relockit with fastboot oem lock, will reboot phone and show RELOKED.
6)run: fastboot oem rebootRUU. phone will reboot again and show Black Screen with HTC.
7)run: fastboot flash zip Firmware.zip (firmware.zip should be the file you downloaded in step 2!).
8)if everything goes well you will see a green bar moving on your phone and fastboot should start working and showing some files flashing i dont know hahaha.
9) wait it takes about 5 mins. when your cmd window shows that it finish, your phone will still have a green bar on it. just run
fastboot reboot
and the magic its done.!! wait other five mins for the phone to boot and start messing with it again.!!!
will attach a picture with my cmd windows if someone got lost.!try to figure them out hahah those are the things i saw all my files were on downloads but i already have fastboot preinstaled.
as i said before i hope this mini tutorial works for you guys. it will be cool if people in the forum put this as stickie.!! i've seen like a 1000 post with the same problem.!!
have fun.!!
Be VERY careful if you have custom recovery installed (TWRP/CWM/PhilZ/AmonRa), locking or re-locking the bootloader well S-ON can result in a hard brick situation.

I'm not knocking your procedures or process... What I am saying is that if you have custom recovery installed and you relock, there is a definite potential for hard brick, if you are going to relock well S-on with custom recovery, there is a real possibility of bricking... One should flash stock recovery via fastboot prior to relocking.
